What is Islamic Fiction?
This refers to creative, imaginative, non-preachy fiction books written by Muslims and marketed primarily to Muslims. Islamic Fiction may be marketed to secular markets, too. The content of these books incorporates some religious content and themes, and may include non-fictionalized historical or factual Islamic content with or without direct reference to the Qur'an or the Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh). The stories may also include modern, real life situations and moral dilemmas. Islamic Fiction may be written in many languages.
Our Muslim children, youth and teens are hungry to read stories with book characters and modern day settings that they can identify with and relate to. This is especially true for our Muslim kids living as minorities in a larger secular society in westernized countries.
What to Muslims have to say about Islamic Fiction Books?
"I want to read books about Muslims like me." Saara Khalid
"Storytelling is a traditional Islamic art and the novel brings this art right into the home. Muslims of all ages need the contemporary Muslim story as a vehicle for interpreting the world in an Islamic light. Non Muslims might also appreciate an insight into the diversity and unity of the Muslim way of life that the art of storytelling can provide." Yafiah Katherine Randall
"...children love reading fiction, but they usually do not find the role models they need and deserve in mainstream books, which often promote values that are contrary to Islam. My own daughter devours several books a week, and it has been a challenge for me to find the books that will help her grow as a Muslim. By seeing how different characters deal with life's challenges, Muslim fiction can help our children develop good character and the analytical skills needed to solve everyday problems." Amel Abdullah - Managing Editor, Our Rising Star Magazine
"I'd love to see Islamic Fiction on store shelves. What a fresh idea to the boring cookie cutter fiction currently hogging all the space!" Brenda Birch
"Fiction is paramount. I believe that for the Muslim Ummah to progress, much more attention should be paid to the creation of culture - perhaps best manifested in the creation of literature, that will offer alternative narratives for, by and about Muslims." Marwa Elnaggar, Editor
"Islamic fiction is critical for ensuring the developing and prospering of young imaginative minds." Fuad Nahdi
"Reading is a vital requirement for our children to succeed in schools and become productive members of society. Reading fiction is part of the repertoire out there, and Islamic fiction should be part of every Muslim child growing up in this country." Maryam Theriault
"Children's literature plays an important role culturally, educationally, aesthetically and psychologically in the lives of children. When Muslim children enter the wonderful world of reading they should be able to find an abundance of exciting Islamic literature to enjoy and learn from. And when they leave the stages of childhood as teenagers and then as adults, they should also find Islamic literature that will continue to enrich their lives. We are definitely in need for the publication, promotion, and distribution of more Islamic literature and especially Islamic fiction which will certainly benefit the Muslim community and could be enjoyed by non-Muslims as well. InshaAllah productive steps will be taken towards this goal." Rym Aoudia, Founder and Director of Children's Literature and Culture League
"Our society at large is diverse and includes Muslims, however its cultural knowledge-base does not include Muslims. Libraries are full of stories about other cultures and faiths, and Islam needs to be represented as it is part of the mosaic of the American landscape. Fiction can help Americans relate to their Muslim brethren on an emotional, human level, and that is where peace begins. In addition, I support this petition because Muslims have long suffered a void where fiction is concerned. Our children do not see themselves represented in the stories they read, our teens have no Islamic reading material to encourage growth and shape their worldviews, and our adults have no fiction to entertain them or prompt them to ponder different aspects of the deen and human nature. All this, fiction can accomplish." Najiyah Helwani
"I am a teacher in a Muslim school, and I testify that there is a great need for Islamic books for children, especially fiction which can be read for pleasure but also contains vital lessons on Islamic morals, values, etc." Justin Ilyas Parrott
"As a teenage Muslimah who LOVES to read and write fiction, I know how hard it is to find 'halaal' books, books that can be considered okay from an Islamic point of view. There are very few really good Islamic fiction books, & we totally need more of them in the world: for us Muslims, AND for non-Muslims." Zainab bint Younus
"Literature is where thoughts and cultures are expressed and recorded. So when will Muslims appear on the list of civilizations again?" Yosra Mostafa
"My boys do have to read as a requirement for school. I would so love to give them books that help support an active, Muslim youth culture." Celeste Sahar Swaim
"Yes, we need Islamic fiction!" Becky Kirby

How to Make an Open Carports Sheds in a House
Carports are for housing a automobile and for protection in opposition to weather agents. The developers generally supply a parking space for about two vehicles. This are usually about 20 feet square. This place it's possible located at front, facet or back of the compound from a driveway. The regular garages is staying substitute by the new technologies of detaching it from the primary house. This carports entail open sheds that also act as sitting locations when the cars and trucks are moved down a driveway when there is require.
The open carport can be created in several approaches. This products may consist of employing translucent sheets, canvas, nets or polythene mesh. Diverse styles or designs can be constructed to give the expected shade with out obstructing motion in the parking. It is important to test with the regional authorities if any preparing permissions are necessary. The designs which can be formed possibly triangular, circular, rectangular or normal polygons of the desired materials.
The carport is initially measured out within the parking provided. The cantilever or canopy shed enables free of charge motion inside the parking. This is hung from two or additional posts with arms stretched into the parking. The height of the posts is about seven to ten ft substantial. The 3 posts are circular in form. When erecting for a twenty feet vast car or truck park four posts are erected at 5 feet spacing. This are fixed on the outside of the parking kerb about fifty percent a foot away.
The posts are excavated for about two feet ft deep into the ground. This are then fixed with a concrete surround and permitted to dry for there days. After this, arms or cross bars are welded or bolted to the posts. This arms are distribute into the parking about fifteen feet. The center two posts are a little raised by fifty percent a foot to supply a drop. The canvas is then mounted on top rated of the framework. A canvas protector is then painted on top because of to weather. the posts are also painted a ideal coloration. The carport is then ready for use and lighting can be additional for night use.

Well it is over for another year. I think this is a very important week and that the awareness project is for all of us to engage in. To my way of thinking if we were all to tell one person a day that you have Parkinson's then you are achieving the projects aim. Alternatively if you are so inclined you can involve yourself in the official campaign or take on something yourself. In the last seven days I approached the local paper having been asked to do so by our Chairperson. Result, a short article in the paper last Thursday. I sent an email to the local Radio Station. Result, 20 minute interview publicising awareness week. Two weeks ago I visited one of the local Sikh Temples. Invited to chat with one of the elders. Result, invited to run a stall at their Festival. Raised a small amount of money, met many beautiful people, got drenched just when it should have been starting, got fed much lovely grub and the three of us have been invited back again next year, God willing. I know this does not suit everyone but it certainly took my mind of aches and pains even if I did spend a lot of the time in the loo!!

Guest Author - Marjorie Colletta
I recently purchased a copy of Clara Parkes' Knitter's book of yarn it was originally published in 2007. The book is an amazing repository of information about the properties of the many different kinds of yarn that are available.
Ms. Parkes discusses the good and the bad of yarn. Which yarns tend to pill, which yarns will stretch, which will fade, which will hold up to long term use, and much more. She starts with discussing the kinds of fibers available, protein, cellulose, cellulosic, and synthetic. The book then moves into the making the fibers into yarns, how they are spun, and finally the impact on the finished product. The reason for this review so long after the book was published is that, if you are embarking on a project that means a lot to you, or if you are starting holiday projects with yarns you already own, this book will help you match yarn to projects. If I had found it sooner, I would have a few projects that would have finished much better.
All the factors that go into making yarn determine what a final product will look like and how it will act. A sweater that is going to get a lot of wear, and will need more frequent washing needs to hold its color and not pill to keep it from looking like, "that old thing". Items made for babies should ideally be soft so as not to irritate a babies skin. Since the book does not call out brands, but instead names types of yarn, and details the properties of each type, it therefore gives insight into the final product. You will be able to make informed decisions on how a particular yarn will work on a particular project.
Knitting requires planning to get the results you desire, if you do not mind serendipity dictating your knitting you do do not need this book. If, however, you would like to have all the information possible before you start a project that will involve your money and time, this book is one you should seriously consider.

February 2008 Meeting
The next meeting of LRUG will be on Monday the 11th of February, from 6:30pm to 8:00pm, and we'll be returning to our usual Skills Matter venue at 1 Sekforde St..
Lightning Talks
This month, we're going to have a series of lightning talks from various members of the local ruby community. To make it even more interesting, all the presentations will follow the 20x20 slide format (also known as Pecha Kucha). The presenter has 20 slides which are displayed for 20 seconds each, giving a total presentation time of 6:40. It should be a fun evening, as with only 6:40 in which to get your point across the presenters will have to be economical with their words, and possibly leave out things like justification or proof for their opinions.
We're aiming to have between 8 and 10 presenters. Those already confirmed are:
- James Adam – "Rails is not the only fruit"
- Richard Livsey – RSpec stories.
- Rob McKinnon – "A Ruby Journey"
- Daniel Tenner – Adobe Flex: what it is, why he uses it with ruby
- Dafydd Rees – "When shouldn't you use a DSL? and what can you do instead?"
- David Salgado – Rails deployment platforms
- Roland Swingler – Pattern matching in ruby
- Laurie Young – Design patterns in ruby
A video of the meeting, filmed by Skills Matter, is available on Google Video or on the Skills Matter site.
QCon Ticket Raffle
The kind folk organising the QCon conference have given us a ticket to raffle off. Of immediate interest to us would be the track on ruby, but the rest of the conference seems interesting as well, with topics of interest such as agile development, new languages and domain specific languages to name just a couple of the other tracks on offer. To give away the ticket we'll do the same thing as we've done on past occasions and choose the lucky recipient from the names of the attendees on the night.
Once the excitement of the slides and ticket raffle have died down, we'll head on over to The Crown Tavern. This pub is only a couple of minutes walk from the Skills Matter offices and so is perfect for a post-meeting chat and drink. As usual, if you're not sure that you'll make it in time for the main meeting, you are more than welcome to just head along to the pub and meet up with us there.
Please register with Skills Matter if you are planning to come. They need us to register so they make sure we get the most appropriately sized room, but they can only accommodate a larger than usual meeting (more than 80 folk) if they get enough notice to book a bigger room, so register now rather than later. There's also an upcoming event for those of us that love online calendaring.

Cutler gets a cut before trip to Delhi.
Cutler with his Indianassistant Mohit
photos from Jay Cutlers facebook page
Today was a little bit more mellow. We waited for a bit to coordinate meting with Hritek Roshan, a very poplar Bollywood Actor. So once we got the go we drove like bates out of Hades to the gym clear across town.
Jay got a descent leg workout, met the actor, we watched some choreography, got mobbed again and flew back home in a private car. All in a day's work!

Where is Phil?
No offense, but these Jay Cutler videos are really boring.
No one is really that interested in Jay just walking around, Jay in a grocery store, sure, but I wanted to watch the leg training and lost attention once it cut away
This is the dumbest video ever posted on a fucking bb site. Some guys pop locking and shit? Wtf?
These are supposed to be showing him building the awareness of Bodybuilding but all i see imo is Jay being Jay,it's all about him, which also only my opinion of course but is one of the reasons he won't admit defeat and be realistic and retire. His time is up but he knows that whether or not he stays in bodybuilding as an ambassader he wont get the same amount of attention which he craves.
"What is patriotism but the love of the food one ate as a child?" ~ Lin Yutang.
He never didnt admit phil being the better man on stage. He was quick to point that out himself. You also cant base that Jay isnt promoting the sport by checking out a couple shitty videos. Jay has promoted the sport of bodybuilding more then anybody else. Why the hell would he retire when he does the business of bodybuilding better then anyone else currently and make great money doing so. people always gotta be hatin on Jay.

Oct 15, 2004
When discussing higher levels of skilled play among tennis players, I use a very simple phrase to condense the complexities of progressive improvement:
"Hit more effective shots more consistently."
So, what constitutes more "effective" shots?
Effective shots can include shots hit with more pace, spin, depth, touch, disguise, or simply hitting the ball where your opponents aren't!"
When players first learn the game and begin to control the ball, most play within a one or two-dimensional stratagem. That is, they usually hit the ball back deep, or, as they get a little better, start placing it in the corners.
And for many, that describes their playing strategy for the rest of their life!
Many 3.0 or 3.5 doubles teams, when faced with opponents who are camped out on the baseline, end up usually volleying deep right to their opponents who either hit a lob or hit a tougher groundstroke. While this limiting volley strategy can be associated with poor volley technique, their inability to simply angle the ball off short for an easy winner is usually due to unfamiliarity with this option.
The angle volley is not only an excellent weapon that is mechanically simple to hit, it is also an excellent way to learn to volley more skillfully. Instead of reaching for the ball with your hand and arm (instead of moving your feet to the ball), the angle volley can teach you to wait with your hands enabling you to do more with the ball than simply hitting it straight ahead!
The key to an effective angle volley is the grip. Using anything other than the continental grip will severely limit both the effectiveness of the angle volley as well as the ability to hit more difficult volleys from better opponents. (Especially low volleys or quick exchanges at the net.)
When at the net, holding the continental grip sets the racquet plane parallel with the forearm. A subtle turn away from a target will set the racquet face at the necessary angle. There is no need to take the racquet back with the arm or turn the wrist or swing at the ball.
Most players who use eastern grips must swing the racquet to gain the proper angle. This swinging action usually causes a loss in finesse and decreases the amount of angle needed for the shot to be effective. In fact, most players who use an eastern forehand or backhand grip tend to have great difficulty hitting any significant angle. (Which is why they tend to go deep with the volley!)
The other ingredient to developing the angle volley is to practice it! We don't get a lot of opportunities in matches to try the angle volley, (compared to more commonplace shots such as groundstrokes, deeper volleys, lobs and overheads.) However, when a player learns to create angles, they often feel as if a whole new world has opened up to them! As well they should! The angle volley can make the difference in a player's ability to move up in the rating because it actually helps the player understand many other aspects of the net game.
And there are few shots more satisfying than hitting a nice, angle volley winner and watch the opponents jaw drop open!

Current Features
ProStrokes Gallery: Carlos Moya, Forehand
Moya uses a semi-western forehand and two fisted backhand. At 6'3" he serves quite well and is capable of shortening points on hard courts, but tends to favor the grinding style. He has won titles on both hard courts and clay, and plays the heavy topspin backcourt game championed by a long line of Spanish players. Check out his lethal forehand, exclusively on TennisOne.
Playing in the Present and the Zone, part 2
To be in the present when you play tennis, you have to do some restructuring of the information your eyes are sending to your brain. You can't just send information about the past movement of the ball and expect your mind to be in the present. How do you use your eyes to send information to your brain about the present? Scott Ford answers this and other questions in part 2 of Playing in the Present and the Zone.
Game-Based Training--Learning the Language
Playing is a tactical endeavor. Tactics involves problem-solving and decision-making. Decision-making is every bit as important as technique. Actually, decision-making is the basis of technique since even the most unskilled beginner must decide where, when, and how to hit a shot. Contrary to what TV commentators say decision-making is very trainable if one knows how.

CD/LP/Track Review
Dizzy Gillespie: Dizzy For President
Gifted with one of the most amiable stage presences in the business Dizzy could work a crowd into a frenzy not only with the fireworks from his horn, but also with his glib vocal antics. Both are on sizable display during this concert taped at the Monterey Jazz Festival. Playing the audience with the same virtuosic skill he applies to his brass Dizzy's in control for the get go. Fortunately he's chosen a solid cadre of players to back him up on this opening stop on his faux campaign trail. With Barron helming the rhythm section and Moody as chief foil in the front line the group kicks off to a break neck start on a truncated opening reading of "Dizzy Atmosphere." The group pounces on later numbers like "The Cup Bearers" and the sprawling "No More Blues" with a similar resolve to swing hard.
The Civil Rights movement was at the forefront of many folks' minds in 63' and references to the issues of racial equality understandably crop up in the music. During these moments Dizzy's mirthful colloquies both with his band and the audience are often as entertaining as the music while still remaining respectful to the cause. Such is the case on the preface to "Morning of the Carnival" taken from Jobim's "Black Orpheus." Moody emphatically insists on emphasis of the word "Black" telling Dizzy that Malcom X gave them the green light to use it. Dizzy counters with "Everything must be cool if Malcom say so baby!"
As Dizzy himself intones to the enraptured crowd, every presidential campaign needs an anthem. The closer is a loose, boisterous jam based on the Gillespie classic 'Salt Peanuts" with the persuasive slogan 'Vote Dizzy' inserted in place of the usual chorus phrase. Jon Hendricks, on loan from the eccentric vocal trio Lambert, Hendricks and Ross, guests on the tune turning it into a free-for-all, tongue-in-cheek scat fest. Moody blows a blustery solo atop the galloping rhythm section, before Dizzy blazes through one of his own, sprightly skating across Collins' crashing traps.
When compared musically to the numerous milestones of Gillespie's extraordinary career this disc rates a minor footnote. Overall the performance is more fascinating as a capsule of the time in which it was recorded than as an unforgettable musical document. Even so, it's a rollicking good time from start to finish and is well worth checking out.

Big Ten standings, bowl projections get major shake-up
Monday, October 31st, 2011Another weekend of play in the Big Ten has the conference on it's head. With Michigan State losing to Nebraska and Ohio State's upset of Wisconsin, along with Michigan and Penn State winning again, the Big Ten now boasts 5 teams in the BCS Top 25 wit all 5 ranked from 10-20. A look at the Big Ten football standings shows an undefeated Penn State sitting atop the Leaders Division at 5-0 ahead of Wisconsin, Ohio State and Purdue who each have a 2-2 conference record. Meanwhile in the Legends Division, Michigan, Michigan State and Nebraska each have 3-1 records in the conference with Iowa a game behind at 2-2. The intra-conference parity has the bowl projections showing just one Big Ten team in a BCS bowl game this season, something rarely seen in the past given the conference's (sometimes unfounded) reputation as a top-tier football conference.

LUMBER BRIDGE — The American Red Cross is assisting a 37-year-old Lumber Bridge woman whose home was damaged in a fire on Thursday that authorities believe was arson.
Latisha Davis, of 141 Birdsway Road, was not at home when the bedroom of her mobile home caught on fire just after noon, according to sheriff's Lt. Brian Duckworth, an arson investigator. Duckworth said that a neighbor saw smoke coming from the home and reported the fire, and volunteer firefighters from Parkton and Lumber Bridge extinguished the blaze.
Duckworth said the fire started in the master bedroom, which showed the most damage, but that the house cannot be lived in because of soot from the smoke.
Duckworth said there were no signs of forced entry and it's "very clear and obvious" that the fire was intentionally set. He said the fire caused "at least a couple thousand dollars damage."
Duckworth said that Davis didn't have any insurance.
The American Red Cross providing Davis clothing, food and a temporary place to live, according to Carol Ann Lentz, executive director for the Scotland County chapter of the American Red Cross.
"We'll continue to work with them to see if there are any other resources we can help them with," Lentz said. "We will continue to assist the family to return to a normal way of life."
Anyone with information to call the Robeson County Sheriff's Office at 910-671-3198.

Dreaming about Chanel 2.55
19 Dec 2009
I know, it's shallow, it's terrible and it's sad. But it's all I want these days, and I'm kind of tired of Googling it all the time.
I just can't stop thinking about it. A Chanel 2.55.
Unlike all other items, I always imagine how I wear them in as many combinations as possible, but this time I don't even have it (own it, I want to own it) and I already know it'll fit perfectly with my entire wardrobe! I just have to have it. Have to!
The sad truth is, that it's far too expensive for a handbag. OR for anything else, in a matter of fact.
I guess it's time for a very close look on ebay for now till the rest of my life
Here are a few pictures of my dream. Just sharing, it might take the passion down a bit (I so wish for that to happen!):
Maybe dreams come true after you blog about them, who knows…
Hilla Ohayon.
p.s. the lovely Michal Ronel sent me this video today. It's so addictive and exciting… Here it is for all of you, Chanel lovers:

Says Cramer:
What does a Brown election mean larger than this? Well, first you're going to get a knee-jerk rally in all the so-called penalized stocks -- the HMOs, the drugs, the medical device-makers. I call it "knee-jerk," though, because these stocks have been on fire for months. ... More important, though, I think investors who are nervous about the dictatorship of the Pelosi proletariat will feel at ease, and we could have a gigantic rally off a Coakley loss and a Brown win. It will be a signal that a more pro-business, less pro-labor government could be in front of us(Via Joe Wiesenthal at Business Insider)

One month is left of your high school career and the realization of what you missed out hits you. To highlight some things to do before you leave Arrowhead, here is a bucket list from a senior to underclassmen.
Attend at least one Arrowhead game. With sports being offered throughout the year, attending one is easy enough to do. Preferably come to the football game on Homecoming or the opening days of basketball and hockey. If Arrowhead does go to state, arrange time to go with the school.
It is always good to go to at least one school dance, whether it's Prom, Homecoming or TWIRP; if anything else, go for the experience.
Join a club during the course of high school. Sure, counselors, parents and possibly siblings push for joining these extra-circular activities to "enrich" the body. But for the truer reason: it looks good for college. Rather, join a club, such as Key Club or Earth Club, to have fun.
See the arts at Arrowhead and see an Arrowhead musical or play (both if you feel adventurous). Classes may give extra credit to people who see one of these productions. Like attending sports, support watching classmates and friends put on a show they've worked on show support.
Finally, find a fun teacher that makes you laugh and enjoy the class. These teachers make the day go on with their eccentric personalities and make learning, well, enjoyable.
While the list can go on, the span of reading a whole bucket list may not. Things such as doing Gator day, being a class clown, or being known across school could be some things to strive for. Experience as much as possible and move on.

Notes |
1946 |
In December 1946 the United Nations General Assembly unanimously establishes an International Children's Emergency Fund, to mount urgent relief programmes for children and adolescents in war-ravaged countries and for "child health purposes generally". Aid is to be distributed without discrimination due to race, creed, nationality, status or political belief. The Fund has semi-autonomous status in the United Nations, its own governing body (25 governments, later increased to 30), and its own secretariat. Maurice Pate is appointed Executive Director. |
1947 |
First substantial government contributions are received (from the United States and Canada). A supplementary feeding programme is approved for children and nursing and pregnant mothers in 13 European countries. First private contribution is received. First National Committee for UNICEF is formed (U.S.). |
1948 |
UNICEF aid is provided for the first time to refugee mothers and children in Asia and Palestine. First mass disease-control programme is started: UNICEF joins Scandinavian Red Cross Societies in anti-tuberculosis mass vaccinations (a campaign which will have tested 155 million children and vaccinated 60 million by 1955). UNICEF Board requests Executive Director to prepare a study on continuing needs of children in many parts of the world for long-term programmes in child nutrition, health and welfare. |
UNICEF aid for Latin America is approved for first time. Sale of UNICEF greeting cards begins (first card is a "Thank You" drawing by a child UNICEF assisted in Czechoslovakia). | |
Some six million children are receiving daily supplementary meals by mid-1950; several million are receiving clothing and shoes processed from cotton, wool and leather supplied by UNICEF. Contributions during the year total $15.3 million – over 70 per cent from 47 governments; over 20 per cent from residual assets of UNRRA; the rest ($1.3 million) from private contributors, mainly the United Nations Appeal for Children Campaign in 75 countries and territories. The UN General Assembly expands the limited mandate of UNICEF to meet "emergency and long-range needs of children and their continuing needs particularly in under-developed countries". With European recovery, some countries feel UNICEF's job is over. But poorer nations argue that the UN cannot ignore children threatened by hunger and disease in their countries. | |
UNICEF Executive Board decides Fund will concentrate on maternal and child welfare services, training of child care personnel, campaign to fight diseases affecting children (especially tuberculosis, malaria, trachoma and yaws), and child nutrition. The Fund also continues to respond to requests for emergency relief of children in disasters (droughts, floods, earthquakes). Board agrees on criteria for assessing needs of different areas and countries. | |
1952 |
UNICEF assistance in Africa south of the Sahara begins. NGO Committee on UNICEF (growing out of an advisory group of non-governmental organizations established in 1949) is granted consultative status with UNICEF's Executive Board. More than 1 million greeting cards sold. |
UNICEF begins aid for environmental sanitation projects to prevent childhood sickness and deaths and large-scale leprosy control measures. In October, the General Assembly decides to continue UNICEF's mandate on a permanent basis, reaffirming the broader terms of reference established for the Fund in 1950. The words "International" and "Emergency" are dropped from the official name, which now becomes the United Nations Children's Fund, but the original acronym UNICEF is by now too well-known to drop. Trials having proved that yaws – a hideous disease affecting millions of children – could be cured with one shot of penicillin, UNICEF helps launch a campaign to identify and cure 10 million cases of yaws in Indonesia, Thailand, Haiti, the Philippines and elsewhere. | |
To encourage longer-term planning, the UNICEF Executive Board decides to make commitments to projects for several years, instead of only for one The popular American comedian and motion picture star Danny Kaye volunteers to work for UNICEF and becomes "Ambassador-at-Large", travelling around the world. He makes a 20-minute documentary film, "Assignment Children", about Unicef s work in Asia, seen by more than 100 million people. | |
UNICEF is now assisting projects in 92 countries and territories; 61 governments are contributing annually to UNICEF (up from 30 in 1950). UNICEF joins WHO in world-wide campaign to eradicate malaria, a leading child killer. Eleven National Committees for UNICEF are now in operation. |
1946-1955 | 1956-1965 | 1966-1975
1976-1985 | 1986-1995
History in multimedia
The following multimedia website on UNICEF's history was released for the organization's 60th Anniversary. Each segment includes an illustrated timeline, posters and stamps, and video interviews about developments in the given period. Some include music and coins as well.

Child Protection Program
Commitment to safety at Boston Children's Hospital
Boston Children's Hospital has a deep and abiding commitment to ensuring the safety of all children in our care. In fact, providing safe and appropriate care in a safe and protective environment is the absolute paramount priority of everyone at Boston Children's.
We have a number of programs and services in place whose mission is to ensure that every member of the Boston Children's community is knowledgeable about and vigilant in their role in ensuring the safety of our patients.
Hospital-wide child safety team
Boston Children's has a hospital-wide program to train all staff and employees to recognize signs of child abuse and to educate them about internal and external resources and support services for patients and families who have experienced abuse.
The hospital's Child Protection Team is composed of physicians, attorneys, psychologists, social workers, nurses, nurse practitioners and advocates. The team provides 24-hour, on-call coverage, expert consultation services, professional training and case-specific support to hospital staff who suspect maltreatment or abuse of a patient. The team also includes a Nurse Liaison to the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families.
In addition, a staff member from our Office of Patient Relations is available around the clock to families that may have any questions or concerns about the appropriateness of the care their child has received.
Through the Office of Clinician Support, services are available for clinical staff who need guidance on clinical or professional matters. This could include supporting a clinician who had suspicions or concerns about a colleague behaving inappropriately with patients. Confidentiality of all parties is respected, however, information is shared with appropriate authorities if a threat of harm or abuse to the clinician him/herself, staff, patients or families is present or suspected.
In addition to the ethical imperative to address directly and quickly any concerns about inappropriate care or abuse of a patient, it is a state law.
Mandated reporting at Boston Children's Hospital
All Boston Children's clinicians are trained on "51As." Under state law, (Massachusetts General Laws Section 51A) all clinicians are "mandated reporters." The law states that "(a) A mandated reporter who, in his professional capacity, has reasonable cause to believe that a child is suffering physical or emotional injury resulting from: (i) abuse inflicted upon him which causes harm or substantial risk of harm to the child's health or welfare, including sexual abuse; (ii) neglect, including malnutrition; (iii) physical dependence upon an addictive drug at birth, shall immediately communicate with the department orally and, within 48 hours, shall file a written report with the department detailing the suspected abuse or neglect; or (iv) being a sexually exploited child; or (v) being a human trafficking victim as defined by section 20M of chapter 233."
The law goes on to say "If a mandated reporter is a member of the staff of a medical or other public or private institution, school or facility, the mandated reporter may instead notify the person or designated agent in charge of such institution, school or facility who shall become responsible for notifying the department in the manner required by this section." In Boston Children's case, that designated agent is the Child Protection Team member on call, who is available to staff and families 24 hours a day.
Child and family safety is everyone's responsibility. Please contact our Office of Patient Relations if at any time you have questions or concerns at 617-355-7673 or 617-355-6369 after hours and on weekends.

STATEMENT BY SENATORS McCAIN AND AYOTTE ON PRESIDENT OBAMA'S COMMENTS ON SEQUESTRATION
August 20, 2012
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) today released the following joint statement on President Obama's comments this afternoon regarding sequestration:
"Since the failure last fall of the Congressional 'Super Committee' to agree on $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction, President Obama has been AWOL in trying to avert the catastrophic impacts of nearly $500 billion in across-the-board cuts in the defense budget. The President's comments today demonstrate that he is content to wait until after the November election to engage in discussions to resolve this pressing national security issue. By refusing to lead, President Obama shows that he is willing to risk our nation's security for purely political purposes.
"President Obama either doesn't understand or doesn't care about the devastating impact that the defense cuts under budget sequestration will have on our national defense, which right now are set to kick in on January 2nd of next year. The president's own Secretary of Defense has said repeatedly that sequestration would be 'catastrophic' and 'devastating' to our military's readiness to defend America, and called it a 'blind, mindless formula that … risks hollowing out the force.' Army Chief of Staff General Ray Odierno said that 'cuts of this magnitude would be catastrophic to the military ... threatening the readiness and potentially the all-volunteer force.'
"While we agree with the President's decision to exempt from these debilitating cuts the pay and benefits of our military servicemembers who have served so honorably in Iraq and Afghanistan, the actual effect of this decision is to increase the cuts to force modernization and readiness. As the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has said, 'that's the definition of a hollow force.'
"The responsibility to avert this crisis is shared, and the time to negotiate a solution is now – not after the November election. Among our biggest obstacles to doing so is the President's failure to lead. President Obama signed into law the legislation that put into place the cuts slated to occur on January 2nd. He has a solemn responsibility – and duty – as Commander in Chief to help devise a solution that averts this disaster and protects our nation's security."

'Rick's Picks,' Rick Nielsen to be on 'American Pickers'
Posted By Brandon Reid On February 20, 2013 @ 6:59 am In Local News, News | No Comments
• Episode will air March 11 on History Channel
Staff Report
Rockford's own Rick Nielsen and the Burpee Museum of Natural History exhibit "Rick's Picks: A Lifelong Affair with Guitars & Music" will be featured on a March 11 episode of History Channel's American Pickers.
The critically-acclaimed hit television series follows Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz as they scour the country for hidden gems in basements, garages and barns, meeting quirky characters and sharing their amazing stories with upwards of 5 million viewers each week.
There is no story more amazing than that of Nielsen, a true collector of the very first order.
"Frank Fritz, like a lot of people who love great music, is a big fan of Cheap Trick," said Jay Graham of GrahamSpencer, the creative team for the Rick's Picks exhibit. "Naturally, when he heard about Rick's Picks, he wanted to experience it. It didn't take him long to convince picking partner Mike Wolfe that a little side trip to Burpee Museum and Rick's Picks would be worth their while. Of course, you'll have to watch the episode to see what happened."
Wolfe explained: "What happened was pretty special. We're birds of a feather, Frank and Rick and me. Collecting, picking brothers in arms. We were all three bitten by the same crazy bug early on in life, and it's amazing how quickly it brought us together when we went to Rick's exhibit in Rockford. That's when the picks really started flying."
Fritz added: "Seeing Rick's exhibit was truly mind-boggling. For me, as a nearly lifelong Cheap Trick fan, I was in heaven. And then, to dig even deeper with Rick himself — well, we can't wait for the nation to see what we picked out of Rick's storage lockers. Mike and I drove away from Rockford very, very happy."
Nielsen said: "Those guys are great. Frank and Mike can rummage through my collection any day."
The episode airs Monday, March 11 on History. Visit http://www.history.com/shows/american-pickers [1] for local listings.
Rick's Picks will be on exhibit through April 10 at Burpee Museum of Natural History, 737 N. Main St. Find more information on https://www.facebook.com/RicksPicksLive [2] or follow emerging news at https://twitter.com/RicksPicksLive [3]. Visit the Rick's Picks website at http://www.rickspickslive.com [4], or to purchase tickets, visit http://www.burpee.org [5].
Rick's Picks
It's guitars. It's Rick. It's music history. It's a fund-raiser. From Rockford's skating rinks to Tokyo's Budokan, Rick's Picks tells the 40-year story of one of the hardest-working stars in rock 'n' roll. As one would expect, Nielsen has more stories than his five neck has strings.
Rick's Picks also is a fund-raiser for Nielsen's favorite hometown museum, the Burpee Museum of Natural History.
Since 1942, Burpee Museum of Natural History has inspired people to engage in a lifetime of learning about the natural world. Burpee Museum of Natural History is home to 66-million-year-old juvenile T.rex, Jane, as well as a number of other interactive and educational exhibits.
Rick Nielsen and Cheap Trick
When Cheap Trick burst onto the national music scene in the 1970s, it broke new ground with a punkish, hard-edged brand of literate garage rock that was the perfect antidote to what ailed weary FM radio listeners worldwide. The band's uniquely Midwestern sensibilities have been deftly recorded in 28 albums and laid bare in thousands upon thousands of performances worldwide.
With walls of gold and platinum records to prove their enduring success, Cheap Trick and its pick-flinging, checkerboard-bedecked dynamo guitarist Nielsen have never stopped touring, much to the delight of one of rock history's most loyal fan bases.
Nielsen, and bandmates Robin Zander and Tom Petersson were seen touring with Aerosmith in major cities across North America. The band and the tour were named among "the summer's hottest" by Rolling Stone magazine.

When viewing eagles,
please stay in your vehicle,
unless you're visiting a manned eagle observation deck; your vehicle acts as an excellent blind. People walking around or toward a perched eagle will chase it off its roost; an eagle requires a lot of energy to survive in the cold winter temperatures.
Bald eagles can be found in every state except Hawaii. In the lower 48 states, they are more prevalent in Florida, Wisconsin, Washington, Minnesota, Oregon, and Michigan; the largest concentration in North America is in Alaska and British Columbia.
For people seeking to see bald eagles in large numbers, the greatest concentration occurs in mid-October through December on the Chilkat River near Haines, Alaska. The salmon run attracts three to four thousand bald eagles, which gather along a four mile stretch of the river located in the 48,000 acre Alaska Chilkat Eagle Preserve. There's a concentration of 200,000 to 500,000 chum salmon on the Chilkat late in the year. Even when the salmon aren't running, the Haines area is a good place to see eagles.
Alaska is a long way to go for someone who would just like to see bald eagles; an alternative is the Northern Mississippi valley during January and February. As many as five thousand bald eagles winter on the river between Cairo, Illinois and St. Paul, Minnesota.
Several communities host bald eagle festivals. During the month of January, one can attend the Quad Cities Bald Eagle Days, Clinton Bald Eagle Watch, Dubuque Bald Eagle Watch in Iowa, Keokuk Bald Eagle Days in Iowa, Muscatine Bald Eagle Watch in Iowa, LeClaire Bald Eagle Watch, and the Quincy Bald Eagle Watch. In February, the Hampton Bald Eagle Watch in IL.
Eagle Watching on the Mississippi River
2013 Bald Eagle Watch Events.
Bald eagles winter along the Mississippi near the lock and dams. Bald Eagle Watches occur throughout January and February, but eagles can be seen from mid December through early March.
For those who go south in the winter, Emory, Texas hosts January Eagle Fest with a juried art exhibit and barge tours of lakes where eagles gather.
In Canada, from mid November through mid February thousands of bald eagles gather along the Squamish, Mamquam and Cheakamus rivers near Brackendale and Squamish, British Columbia to feast on spawning salmon. Brackendale and Squamish are located about 45 minutes north of Vancouver on Hwy 99.
Bald Eagle Viewing Directory
The bald eagle viewing directory wouldn't exist without the help of those who were kind enough to share their bald eagle sightings. Thank you!
PLEASE INCLUDE THE STATE OR PROVINCE as well as general location where your bald eagle sighting occurred. To protect the welfare of the young, bald eagle nesting locations will not be included among the viewing directory sightings.
Share your bald eagle sighting from the beginning of September through the end of February.
Email addresses remain confidential; once your eagle sighting has been entered into the directory, your email will be deleted.
Due to nesting season, the bald eagle viewing directory is closed annually from March through August.

- Just this morning (March 17 2004) On frozen Quidi Vidi Lake here on the east coast of Canada, capital city of Newfoundland, St. John's. There was at least one pair and perhaps as many as five, which I had seen 5 days ago. On that day I thought they were Goldens, but this morning I got closer and I am 100% sure they were Balds. I was in such awe.
The lake is littered with gull carcasses, they are clearly killing and eating the gulls, even though I have not seen them kill one.

- I saw one perched in a tree about three miles west of Battleford, Saskatchewan last week. We see them from time to time near here in the summer months. This was my first sighting in winter and its been cold--minus thirty last week.

2nd year in a row they have been sighted at this time of year.

We saw an eagle on our power pole at our farm this morning. We are at the edge of the Qu'Appelle Valley between Craven and Southey, in Saskatchewan. Although it was a very big bird, I do not think it was as large as the golden eagles we see here. We have had bald eagles here in the spring and fall migration, but it seems early for that. This bird seemed a bit "scruffy", did not have a white head or tail, but had pale bars on the underside of the wings as it flew over us. I think the rump and throat were paler than the rest of the bird. I thought it might be an immature bald eagle. Temperature was - 15 C, gentle S wind, light cloud. 10 Feb. 2010
Hilary Ryan
Just came back from a deer hunting trip to southern saskatchewan. My two hunting partners and I observed a large adult golden eagle attacking an antelope. The eagle had attached itself to the back of the antelope. The eagle eventually let go, but the antelope appeared to be injured in the attack. From the little I've read, golden eagles do not normally attack such a large prey but this eagle sure did.
I wished I'd had a camera to capture it.

So is anyone else here a fan of the "Warriors" series of books? I'm aware that they're technically children's books (about the same age group that Harry Potter started in, I think) but they are so well written and well-planned out that it doesn't seem very "children's book" to me -- there's a lot of characters being born and other characters dying and some pretty hefty concepts (not that I don't think kids can handle those concepts; on the the contrary, it's refreshing to see a story aimed at children that is told with that realistic tilt of real-world dangers and demands). I'm just curious to know if any of you out there have read these books? I'm on book six of the third series "Power of Three" (and just spoiled myself at the official website trying to see if I was right about my hunches, which I was right about one of them) and I am eagerly anticipating the fourth series to start being put into paperback. |
