Coloradito - Red Oaxacan Mole
Complex flavors are combined into this rich mole sauce, which can be eaten with rice or tortillas.
Put the chicken into a pan with the coarsely chopped onion, the garlic, and herbs; cover with water and add salt to taste. Bring to a simmer and continue simmering until the chicken is just tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove the stems, if any, from the chiles, slit them open, and remove veins and seeds.
Toast the chiles on a hot comale for a few seconds on each side, pressing them down until the inside flesh turns an opaque, tobacco color. Rinse the chiles in cold water, cover with hot water, and set aside to soak for about 15 minutes.
Put the tomatoes into a blender and pulse once or twice. Heat 1 tablespoon of the lard and fry the sesame seeds for a few seconds until a deep golden brown. Transfer with a slotted spoon, draining them as much as possible, to the blender; add the oregano, cloves and allspice and blend until smooth, adding a little more of the water in which the chiles were soaking if necessary.
Add more lard to the pan and heat; add the sliced onion and garlic cloves and fry until translucent.
Add the cinnamon pieces and fry until the onions and garlic are lightly browned.
Transfer with a slotted spoon to the blender. Add the plantain and bread to the pan and fry over low heat until a deep golden color; transfer to the blender. Adding more chile water if necessary, blend until you have a smooth puree. Gradually add the soaked chiles with more water as necessary and blend until smooth. When all the chiles have been blended, dip a spoon into the bottom of the blender jar and take out a sample of the sauce to see if the rather tough chile skins have been blended sufficiently. If not, add a little more water, stir well, and then blend for a few seconds more.
Heat the remaining lard in a heavy pan, add the blended sauce and chocolate, and cook over medium heat, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking, for about 15 minutes. Add 2 cups of the chicken broth and the chicken pieces, taste for salt, and cook for 15 minutes more. The sauce should be fairly thick and lightly cover the back of a wooden spoon.
Serve with white rice and tortillas.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
- 1 large chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), cut into serving pieces
- 1 small head of garlic, scored around the middle

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The state Board of Education will not discuss the hiring of a new superintendent during a special meeting Wednesday.
In a move late Monday afternoon, the board amended its agenda for Wednesday's meeting to remove an item that would have allowed a vote to hire a new superintendent.
Last Thursday, board members voted 5-2 to fire Superintendent Jorea Marple, a decision that came as a surprise to many in the education community.
Hours later during a special meeting, board President Wade Linger suggested hiring James Phares, Randolph County superintendent, to be the new state superintendent. Although Linger suggested hiring Phares immediately, board members ultimately decided to discuss the issue at the Wednesday meeting.
Plans suddenly changed between 4 and 5 p.m. Monday.
The meeting originally was called to discuss a statewide education efficiency audit, and Department of Education spokeswoman Liza Cordeiro said board members wanted to focus exclusively on the audit.
Media reports published Monday had quoted Phares as saying he planned to tender his resignation Monday night during a Randolph County Board of Education meeting. He told the Daily Mail last week he planned to attend Wednesday's state board meeting.
Reached Monday evening, Phares said he had just learned of the decision to postpone discussion about a new superintendent. He also said he had never planned to resign Monday.
He said he would tell county board members he might resign, but it would be more appropriate for the county board to wait for more direction from the state board before taking any action.
Phares said he did not know when the state board would discuss hiring a new superintendent. Cordeiro said board members want to meet sometime next week.
A meeting to discuss the state superintendent is planned for 10 a.m. Nov. 29, according to the secretary of state's website.
Before the item was removed from the agenda, board member Priscilla Haden said she was confident that other board members would vote to hire Phares.
@subhead:Hiring process
@copy:The hiring process that seems to be unfolding varies widely from the one used when Marple was selected.
When then-superintendent Steve Paine announced in November 2010 he planned to retire, the board discussed its options for a replacement. There were two options: an expedited search that would allow the new superintendent to take over the day Paine left or a timeline that would allow for a larger search.
The board ultimately voted against a quick timeline. Chief among those opposing the idea was Linger, who was not board president at the time.
During a November 2010 board meeting, he said a quick job search could hurt the quality of the field of applicants. He thought the board should form a committee that would "do a real serious search instead of a rush job," according to Daily Mail archives.
"I really believe that the job is important enough that taking the time and going through the effort to make sure we've vetted every option and got the best of the best. I'm not so sure that doing whatever we can do by Jan. 1 is the most important criteria," he said at the time.
He also suggested hiring a job search firm to assist.
Linger is now calling for an expedited process to find Marple's replacement. He nominated Phares within hours of her termination.
The board received six applications after Paine stepped down but disqualified three candidates because they did not meet all of the job requirements, board member Priscilla Haden said Monday. Haden, who was board president at the time, did not favor the same timeline as Linger.
She said Monday she did support the national search and posting the position in national publications, actions taken by the board before Marple was hired.
"I know we took our time and we did it properly when we hired Dr. Marple," Haden said.
She said she did not understand why Linger wanted to move so quickly this time.
"I understand that what he did announcing Dr. Phares' appointment as superintendent perhaps is legal. However, it does not allow for any comment from the public," Haden said.
"It's just not the thing to do."
Haden and fellow board member Jenny Phillips voted against firing Marple and then announced they would resign in protest. Both said their resignations would be effective Dec. 31. Haden said Monday she had not sent her official letter to the governor yet but planned to do so.
With former board member Lowell Johnson's term on the board expiring Nov. 4, the resignations would leave three open positions. The governor appoints those positions.
Amy Schuler Goodwin, spokeswoman for Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, said the governor has not selected a replacement for Johnson. The office had not received resignation letters from Haden or Phillips as of Monday, and Goodwin said the governor would not pick their replacements until they had officially resigned.
Linger has repeatedly defended the decision to remove Marple, saying it was time for the department to head in a new direction. He did not return a message left Monday but said through Cordeiro that he was busy working on preparing the board's audit response before its Wednesday meeting.
The terms of Marple's firing required that she leave her office by the end of the day Thursday. On Friday, she received a check in the amount of $4,833, according to state records. It is her final paycheck, which state code requires be given to a fired employee within three days of dismissal, Cordeiro said.
During the emergency meeting last Thursday, the board appointed deputy superintendent Chuck Heinlein to serve as superintendent until a "longer-term individual" is found.

A cast iron skillet is a chef's staple and a worthwhile investment. Typically, a standard size produces crispy pie crust, lovely seared meats and fish, crunchy home fries, scrumptiously browned biscuits and cornbread, caramelized desserts, tasty braises, and whole roasts. You can even splurge for enameled exteriors in lovely colors, or shapes to fit your exact needs like cornstick pans, griddles, and Dutch ovens.
But unless you use your cast iron regularly and clean it diligently, chances are you've experienced some maintenance problems.
Here's our guide for optimal cast iron performance…
Seasoning (ie. sealing the metal with oil)
Most new American cast iron comes pre-seasoned, meaning it's factory-treated for less food sticking, better flavor, even cooking, and easier cleaning. However, you will need to follow package instructions before first use, which will most likely be cleaning with hot water and light seasoning by rubbing with neutral food-grade oil such as vegetable oil.
It's best to season your cast iron with a light oil coating between uses, especially if you don't cook with it much (frequent users will naturally "grandfather" in accumulated oils and flavors).
For serious refurbishing, we've got a quick video on how to season cast-iron by coating it with a thick layer of vegetable oil and putting it an oven preheated to 350 degrees for about an hour. This is more like a deep-cleaning: not the fastest, but the oven does all the work. It's great after periods of disuse, or if you notice uneven cooking, stickiness, dulling, or rusting.
Always preheat; cast iron should be heated low and slow. Many baking recipes will recommend you preheat your oven with your oiled cast iron vessel already inside. For stovetop, some prefer cooking with low heat, as iron holds a fairly constant temperature once established.
Pick utensils that won't scratch the surface (or melt).
Never refrigerate, freeze, or submerge your cast-iron.
Cleaning (ASAP!)
Try to simply wipe out your cast iron while it's still hot, using vegetable oil and wadded paper towels. This way, you are seasoning instead of stripping away.
Ideally, "cleaning" doesn't entail heavy scrubbing, which can remove the seasoned coating and damage the metal itself. Some cast iron purists will say never use soap. Manufacturers recommend only mild soap if any, applied with a non-abrasive sponge or stiff brush (no metal or plastic).
Water can be used, but be careful with hot cast iron. Avoid cold water and submerging, which is unsafe and may cause cracking.
DO NOT put cast iron in the dishwasher.
Dry your cast-iron immediately and thoroughly after cleaning with water, as iron rusts. Water also gets into the pores and affects flavor.
Minimize rust by storing with the lid off (if applicable) and a paper towel on top to soak up remaining moisture.
Don't panic – remove rust with additional applications of oil.

Hi, I did what the site said about putting oil in my cast iron pans and putting them in the oven for a hour on 350 degrees. They came out splotchee. They have a real shine on parts of the frying pan and sticky; other spots are dull looking. Do I need to rinse them in plain water and oil them again and then bake them in the oven again. It is also that way on the side walls of the pans. Thank you for your help. Barbara Mattera email@example.com

I was wondering as the topic was cast iron skillets. I have some along with a stainless steel and some none stick. I was wondering if there were foods that cook better in any given skillet? I tend to gravitate to the none stick anodised. Thanks love your shows. Michele

By karen on November 09, 2012
I routinely use my cast iron skillet combo for "savory" foods. I clean and store it using the guidelines above. I would like to use it for desserts also, however, the couple of times I've done so, the food has a sort of "off" flavor - garlicy, oniony, etc. I've tried soaking in baking soda before use, but, the off-taste remains. I'm thinking of purchasing a 2nd skillet I can dedicate for "sweets", but, before I do, does anyone have ideas for solving the flavor issue? Thanks!
By Chris Calkins on November 09, 2012
Thank You for your directions on cleaning cast iron pans. I have one and didn't know for sure how to clean it. So thank you for the information. Also, I am waiting for a cookbook from Paula for diabetics. I hope one is in the making.

text: Campus Updates: McGill, University of Florida, GainsvilleMcGill University KOACH UpdateBy Ariella Zbar After an amazing and inspiring KOACH Internship orientation weekend, I returned to my campus energized and full of ideas for the school year. KOACH at McGill started off with a successful inter-holiday ceramic painting session. The idea for this event was based on verses from "Ki Hine Kaḥomer" (a piyyut read on Yom Kippur) relating how our lives are placed in the hands of God to clay in the hands of a potter. The next activity came at Sukkot, which took place around Canadian Thanksgiving. Both holidays remind us to be thankful for what we have and remember that there are those who are not so fortunate. To address the latter issue, a food drop-off box was set up on campus to be donated to Dans la Rue, a charity group that provides for Montreal's street kids. Once high holidays (and midterms) had ended, the next event was KOACH Shabbat. The highlight of this shabbaton was a panel discussion on this year's theme of "Who Wrote the Torah?" On the panel were two Jewish Studies students, one from McGill and the other from Concordia, a neighbouring Montreal university. The third panelist was JTS rabbinical student, Dan Dorsch. These three students led an intriguing discussion that involved the audience to a point where no one noticed that two hours had passed by the time we ended with a tisch. With the success of this term's events, I am very much looking forward to the remainder of my KOACH Internship. Hope to see you all in February at the Kallah. University of Florida, Gainsville Campus UpdateBy Max Horovitz KOACH at the University of Florida is off to a great semester. In addition to our weekly Friday night services and Shabbat dinner at Hillel, we have had two KOACH Shabbatot this semester. We had a Shabbat Minha and Shalosh Seudot earlier in the semester and participated in the national KOACH Shabbat last month. KOACH Shabbat is a great way to get people involved in a variety of activities, and it doesn't have to happen only once a year! We are hoping to continue having one every month for the rest of the year. You can even make it into a whole weekend. Before each KOACH Shabbat we like to have Kook with KOACH (hallah baking), so that when we come back for Shabbat morning services and lunch, we have fresh, KOACH baked hallah to eat. Then we get together for both Friday night and Saturday morning services, followed by a free lunch at Hillel. We cap the weekend off with Krash with KOACH, a fun and relaxing event, where we eat pizza and ice cream and play all kinds of games. Stretching our Shabbat out into a whole weekend ensures that everyone can participate and enjoy, no matter what their schedules are like. It's a great way to mix educational, religious, and social programming all into one fun-filled weekend. (Read the report from McGill...) [Posted 12/21/06] |

3 things to know about the history of Detroit busing
For State of Opportunity, I've been wading through hours of audio and stacks of research for months about Detroit's mid-1970's busing controversy.
More specifically, the educational fall-out from the Milliken v. Bradley case. Here's what happened.
1. Busing was used as a last resort to fix segregated schools.
- Detroit's neighborhoods in the late sixties and early seventies were racially segregated and so were the schools.
- There is plenty of evidence that the residential segregation was intentional on the part of real estate agents, neighborhood associations, and towns.
- The Detroit school board tried to change school boundaries within the city to cure some of this segregation in 1970, but the state Legislature passed a state law to prevent that, so the NAACP then brought a legal case to try to desegregate the schools as a last resort.
- When a judge later ordered busing between Detroit and the surrounding suburbs to desegregate the schools, a lot of people opposed it. Some (black and white alike) opposed it because they preferred segregated schools. Many other families didn't want their children traveling further to school or having to switch schools, and opposed it for practical reasons.
2. The events in Detroit were the beginning of the end for racial integration in schools.
- When the Supreme Court finally struck down the Detroit metro busing plan in 1974, it sent a signal to the country that desegregation in the schools had gone far enough.
- Busing orders remained in some southern districts for a few more decades. But after the Milliken case, northern school districts had a particularly hard time getting court approval of desegregation plans that involved busing, or even magnet school approaches.
3. It didn't work.
- After the case went to the Supreme Court, a plan to bus only children inside the school district of Detroit took effect. The school district at that time was over 70% African American so any sort of racial integration was difficult to achieve.
- The quality of education also did not improve after busing, and many families fled to the suburbs or to private schools.
Nancy Jennings highlighted the problems with busing on our Facebook page:
When I was bused in 1975, I went from my relatively well resourced all black school to an all white school that was far more rough around the edges with much poorer environment than I had experienced before. Looking back I don't think that was the original intent of pushing for busing.
The intent of the case was to make it possible for all students in Detroit to have access to the same high quality education. Forty years later we are still looking for ways to achieve that goal.

Half of Addiction Counselors Say It's OK for Some Patients to Drink Occasionally
A survey of addiction counselors finds almost half say it is acceptable for at least some of their patients to drink from time to time. The survey included 913 members of the National Association of Alcoholism and Drug Addiction Counselors.
About half of the counselors said they would not object if some of their clients who abuse alcohol wanted to limit their drinking, but not totally abstain, PsychCentral.com reports. That is double the number of counselors in a 1994 survey who said moderate drinking was acceptable for some clients.
The new survey found about half of counselors said moderate drug use was acceptable as an intermediate goal, while one-third said it was adequate as a final goal.
"Individuals with alcohol and drug problems who avoid treatment because they are ambivalent about abstinence should know that — depending on the severity of their condition, the finality of their outcome goal, and their drug of choice — their interest in moderating their consumption will be acceptable to many addiction professionals working in outpatient and independent practice settings," the researchers from Bowling Green State University noted in a press release.
Counselors were less accepting of occasional substance use for clients diagnosed with alcohol or drug dependence, which is considered more severe than alcohol or drug abuse. At least three-fourths of the counselors said they would not approve of limited or moderate consumption for these clients.
"In light of this study, we suggest that clients ask about their counselor's openness to limited or moderate consumption as an outcome goal, and that agencies acknowledge their policy regarding negotiation of outcome goals as part of informed consent," said researcher Harold Rosenberg, PhD.
The study was published in Psychology of Addictive Behaviors.


text: I would expect the pricing to be announced right before or on the day the first LTE phone(s) hit. The mobile broadband plans cost the same, so hopefully that bodes well for us, but even if it is $10-15 more for unlimited I wouldn't mind, so long as the price bump does take affect until you actually have 4G in your home market. The sprint move was just a bend over job anyways.

Samsung: Galaxy Tab injunction 'flawed'
Samsung Electronics today alleged that the interlocutory injunction awarded to Apple against the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 was incorrect and a leap of logic, all the while pushing for the case to be expedited in the courts.
In a case presented before Justice Lindsay Foster in the Federal Court of New South Wales today, Samsung contested the basis on which Justice Annabel Bennett gave her ruling two weeks ago.
Samsung complained on multiple grounds. In Bennett's ruling, she said that Samsung's "unwillingness" to move the case to an early final hearing stage counted against the … Read more

Every time that I try to start a game in the Spring lobby, the game gets to a loading screen after I push start, and then crashes back the the Spring lobby saying, "Spring has Crashed", and something like, "a stacktrace has been written to infolog.text".

I must say you should try multiplayer its the best part of this game, there are a couple Ais,but essencialy you are looking at a epic multiplayer RTS experience.

Partner Overview
As a grassroots organization, the Elias Fund focuses on indigenous empowerment to alleviate poverty from the bottom-up. This happens through strategic partnerships with Zimbabwean community organizations. EF is currently partnered with three passionate Zimbabwean organizations that are creatively addressing the needs of their specific communities. EF's assistance for these partners comes through micro-grants and relational support. Here's a quick look at our partners:
- Elias Foundation Trust: Located in rural Chiredzi, EFT operates a food aid outreach, university scholarships for community youth, and a micro-agricultural training program that increases crop yielding by over 300%.
- Youth Education Training (Y.E.T.): Based in the city of Kadoma, Y.E.T. provides educational access to disadvantaged Zimbabwean youth from the city's high-density areas. Y.E.T is also exploring income-generating activities to support self-sustainability.
- Albert Street School: Albert Street School was founded by Zimbabwean refugees for Zimbabwean refugees to provide educational opportunities for children under 18 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Measuring IT risk
One of the thornier issues in security risk management - but it's getting better all the time
What's the most-lamented difficulty in applying real risk management to security? Lack of hard numbers, of course.
Particularly on the digital side of security. The old "actuarial table" problem. We don't know precise probabilities, can't accurately calculate impact costs, boo hoo.
(I do love an old quote about this issue, attributed to Dan Geer: "The numbers are too poor even to lie with.")
But lots of people are chipping away at this problem. The bottom line is that there's no reason to throw up your hands and say it can't be done. Here is some of the coverage we've done on this question:
Alex Hutton and Doug Hubbard had a productive discussion that we called "The great IT risk measurement debate." Online it's in two parts: Part one and Part two.
One of the key points both gentlemen make is that you can apply risk management principles now and improve your outcomes. Absolute precision and perfection isn't necessary. (What business decision-making process is demonstratively perfect anyway?) Hubbard argues convincingly that IT security is not as unique as is often claimed. Other disciplines have similar challenges in the risk measurement arena.
Hutton is a member of the Society of Information Risk Analysts (SIRA). He and other SIRA folks pitched into a recent discussion about 7 common risk management mistakes. If you haven't read that yet, do. You can fast forward your own program by avoiding the missteps others have considerately made for you. Don't replicate the audit department, don't confuse accuracy with precision, don't try to make a comprehensive risk register.
Really, go read it.
[Hey you! Get all CSO's ERM coverage with our new CSO Risk Management newsletter. Sign up now!]
And one last piece specific to IT risk: Are you using a formal risk assessment framework? Bob Violino wrote an overview of four of them - OCTAVE, FAIR, NIST RMF, and TARA.
Okay. That's a foundation of our coverage of this tricky and sometimes contentious IT measurement issue.
My initial thesis was that risk management needs to be more quantifiable, and more inclusive of multiple interconnected disciplines. Upcoming posts will provide new material on both those topics. Onward!

Kartell Louis Ghost Chair (Set of 4)
Beautiful and Comfortable! Sandy from Honolulu, HI– Verified Buyer This chair is a show stopper, clean and modern. It is also very comfortable and easy to sit in. I found someone on Etsy that makes really amazing cushions just for this chair! I ordered cushions in pink velvet. All Modern's shipping was quick, the chairs came in perfect condition and their customer service was fantastic. |
Love them, !! Roberta Kolar from New Jersey Better even than I expected. Great looking and surprisingly comfortable without a cushion. Perfect despite having purchased them out-of-box. Not a scratch have i found. Totally love the mix of the ghost and a French King. |
Great chairs Amy from Dallas, TX– Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer Surprisingly comfortable. Look great with white lacquer dining table. We have another set and they do scratch easily but we want them used so its ok. |
Ghost Chairs Karen from Sausalito, CA– Verified Buyer Arrived FAST! Look GREAT! More comfortable than I thought possible! Used two at head of dining table, one in MB as place for extra towels next to bathtub and one at desk! |
Excellent Agnieszka from Mont-Royal, QC– Verified Buyer Love these chairs! Very comfortable seating and stunning styling, yet so visually lightweight. They go perfectly well with any decor, particularly modern or transitional. I appreciate the lack of clutter even with eight chairs placed around the dining table. Cannot comment on durability-have only owned these for one week so far, but they seem really sturdy and solid. However, I have yet to find felt leg-tips that will stay on, to prevent loud scraping on the hardwood floor. The ones I usually use have all detached leaving sticky residue... |
I really like these chairs Patty Alava from New York Besides some noticeable little lines on the arm of chairs I love them. They are really confortable and added a contemporary look to my dinning room. |
A perfect Solution Carol Prevet from Dunkirk, NY– Verified Buyer I love the chairs. They look great and are comfortable too. They show finger prints if hands are damp. Easily cleaned with damp sponge. The Ghost Chairs have eliminated the look of too much wood in the room. A perfect solution. |
Don't hestitate Caroline Blanchet from Chevy Chase, MD– Verified Buyer Classic but cool design that works in ANY decor. Very comfortable considering they are plastic. Might be a bit too common now but still pretty cool especially when paired with unexpected pieces. Zero regrets getting these. |
Beautiful Chairs Malene H. from Henderson, NV– Verified Buyer I love these chairs. They look awesome, and are comfortable to sit in. They arrived fast, and were ready right out of the box. Definitely lived up to every expectation, and more. |
Anonymous from Texas– Verified Buyer |

Alternative 'Big Mixer'
Whilst it might not add anything in terms of sound quality, it would be quite fun to be able to swap the SSL for an alternative desk/model emulation, though I guess other modeled eq's & dynamics etc would add something new.
You could even have a modular system allowing you to use different elements from different desks as and when you need them, heck the rack works that way so why not the mixer too & who knows you could even have RE units to expand the mixer. This might be an elegant way round the lack of groups / busses on the SSL too, rather than add them to the existing mixer, just have the option to use a different mixer, or add units that features them for those who need it (myself included!) |

Working Responsibly
Microsoft YouthSpark
Along with REI and the Goldhirsh Foundation we've been delighted to support The Case Foundation's Finding Fearless competition. The competition has discovered twenty fearless changemakers, with the overall winners being announced on December 5th.
In addition to supporting the Finding Fearless competition, we wanted to showcase a young person who is doing incredible work to make a difference. Partnering with The Case Foundation we created a special Microsoft YouthSpark prize, designed to recognize a young fearless changemaker.
That YouthSpark prize winning changemaker is Marquis Landon Cabrera.
Marquis was in foster care until he was adopted at 15 years of age. Following his dreams and with support from his parents, he attended Northeastern University, where he graduated magna *** laude, receiving numerous awards and recognition for his hard work and leadership along the way. While at Northeastern, he gained experience working with City Year, The White House, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and took a juvenile law course where was required to sit on cases at the Boston Juvenile Court.
After witnessing heart-wrenching care and protection cases, and drawing from his own experiences in foster care, Marquis decided to found Foster Skills with the mission of empowering foster children to beat the odds, follow their dreams, and become successful, productive citizens.
Foster Skills aims to address the incredible challenges facing foster children. Today less than 10% of foster kids graduate from high school and less than 2% graduate from college.
Since its founding, Foster Skills has connected with over 150 foster youth to provide social support systems; performed 68 'How To' workshops; and created a Massachusetts-specific Foster Youth Handbook that has been used by over a thousand foster youth. Along with direct support Foster Skills also advocates on behalf of foster youth and is currently developing a social networking site for foster children.
Marquis has indeed been a fearless changemaker and we're proud to present him with the special YouthSpark prize to recognize his amazing work.
Amine Chouaieb is the 27 year-old CEO of his own company CHIFCO, and a great example of what is possible when youth have both access to technology and the support needed to develop the skills to help them realize their full potential.
In partnership with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and Microsoft he is attending the International Conference on Productive Work for Youth in Tunis, Tunisia, this week to help inspire other young people to embrace technology and what it can offer them.
When Amine was 11 years old and living with his family in Tunisia, Amine's father, who ran a wood import and processing business, surprised him and his brother one day with a computer. The two boys challenged each other to see who could learn the most about the PC, in the shortest amount of time, and prove their expertise by developing tangible outcomes.
It wasn't long before Amine, through trial, error and sheer interest, gained a solid understanding of the concept of source code and how modifications changed programs. He went on to learn an array of programming languages and was one of the first technologists building and promoting websites in Tunisia – and he did all of this while still in school studying for his A-level exams.
"My father gave me the choice of working in the wood processing area of his business or in the office, but the pay was the same, a dollar a day," he said. "I chose the office so I could continue to work with technology, and soon I knew my skills were quite good when his employees came to me to amend their existing line of business applications to make them easier to use."
Amine worked diligently to help spread the power of the web in Tunisia, working with local companies to build their websites for as little as $100 - simply to illustrate the value of the Internet.
"It was great to be young and technology savvy in a country that was not particularly advanced in that way," he said. "I spent a lot of time explaining basic things like search, chat, messaging and pioneered the development of dynamic websites and one of the first hosting solutions in my country."
After his A-levels Amine studied civil engineering in Paris and joined an Environmental/Energy consulting firm after graduation. Soon he began applying his technology skills in a new way, becoming absorbed in the concepts of smart grids and energy management. It was then that he realized there was still so much that software could do to optimize the smart energy hardware.
Not long after Amine was studying for his Executive Masters in Strategy at the ESCP Europe business school in Paris, and driving the development of a software energy platform that allows businesses to monitor and manage their energy efficiency.
Amine pictured with Maroua Dhay who works on the local Microsoft Citizenship team attending the ENERSOL World Sustainable Energy Forum held in Tunis earlier this month.
"I had heard about the opportunity to become a startup partner with Microsoft and applied," he said. I was so pleased when we were accepted and what followed was great – access to development tools, training, guidance, expertise and perhaps most importantly networking."
Today Amine's company CHIFCO has offices in Tunis and Paris, and is supporting several customer pilots of their solution. CHIFCO became a startup beneficiary of the Microsoft's Bizspark program, which is part of Microsoft YouthSpark, and is sponsored by the Microsoft Innovation Center. He speaks with enthusiasm as he explains how his customers are benefitting from real time energy consumption monitoring and management – both the businesses who are reducing their energy consumption and costs, and the utilities who are able to better serve their customers.
"I had observed there was more talk than action in the environmental sustainability space and it was my goal to help do something tangible" he said. "And as my brother and I challenged each other so long ago to deliver results, it is incredibly rewarding to see our customers reduce their energy bills through the use of our solutions. We hope to empower them through ICT, as we were empowered."
UNIDO and Microsoft have worked together since 2006 to help apply ICT for sustainable development. With Tunisia registering one of the highest unemployment rates in the world with more than 14% of the active population being unemployed, both UNIDO through their youth programs and Microsoft through it's YouthSpark program are working to help address the issue.
Donate to youth projects on Give for Youth on #Giving Tuesday and we'll match your donation 1:1 – up to $100,000 worth of matched donations
We've all seen the pictures and TV footage over the past few days – hordes of holiday shoppers running into stores, racing to fill their carts with toys and electronics and jockeying to get the best deals. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are a big deal here in the U.S.
Now imagine this: hordes of people rushing to their favorite charities to volunteer their time and money. People competing for the biggest and best "give." Families gathering to create new traditions around helping others during the holidays.
That's the idea behind #GivingTuesday – it's a national movement to shift the focus of the holidays from buying and getting more "stuff" to giving back. Microsoft is a founding partner of this new day of giving, and today only, we'll match any donation 1:1 on Give for Youth, a micro-giving site that makes it to fund and follow the dreams of young people around the world, up to a total of $100,000.
Here are three simple ways you can participate in #GivingTuesday:
This holiday season, Microsoft wants to help you give as good as you get. We hope you'll join us in giving back on #GivingTuesday.
Editors note: Don't forget that next Tuesday, November 27th is Giving Tuesday!
On the day before Thanksgiving in the United States, we wanted to take this opportunity to give thanks to so many of the generous people that have donated to Give for Youth since it launched in September as part of our YouthSpark program. Your donations have helped young people around the world and we thought we'd share some of their inspiring stories.

Whether it's funding a child's education, providing basic necessities, or rescuing a girl from a life on the streets, your donations are making a valuable difference.
Thanks to your generosity, Give for Youth has already raised more than $400,000 for 313 projects to date. Give for Youth is just one element of Microsoft's Youthspark program, a companywide initiative to create opportunities for 300 million youth around the world over the next three years, connecting young people with education, employment and entrepreneurship opportunities. You are helping us achieve this.
Matching your donations on Giving Tuesday
Next Tuesday, November 27th 2012 is #GivingTuesday a new, national day of giving intended to transform the giving season by helping communities in need around the world.
To celebrate, Microsoft will match any donation to Give for Youth, dollar for dollar, up to a total of $100,000. There are still hundreds of life-changing Give for Youth projects that you can support including, bringing electricity back to a village in Nigeria, ensuring safe drinking water for girls in India and creating a brighter future by trying to stop bullying in New Jersey.
Together we can double the impact and continue to help dreams come true for youth this holiday season.
By Microsoft Citizenship Team
The holiday season is quickly approaching and like many, you are likely already thinking about upcoming holiday activities, family gatherings, and yes – shopping!
But the holiday season is about more than just getting 'stuff'. It's also about giving thanks and giving back. And that's why we are proud to be a founding partner of #GivingTuesday—a movement that will transform the giving season by helping communities in need around the world.
What is #GivingTuesday?
#GivingTuesday is a new national day of giving that will kick off the holiday season. This year, it will be on November 27. On that day, charities, families, businesses and individuals will change the way people think about, talk about and participate in the giving season. #GivingTuesday will support hundreds of nonprofit organizations helping people around the world.
How is Microsoft involved?
Recently, we launched a companywide initiative called Microsoft YouthSpark. The goal of YouthSpark is to create opportunities for 300 million youth around the world over the next three years by empowering young people to imagine and realize their full potential. As part of YouthSpark, we created Give for Youth, a micro-giving portal that makes it easy for people to fund and follow youth around the world.
On #GivingTuesday, when a donor (somebody like you) makes a donation on Give for Youth, Microsoft will match that donation dollar for dollar, up to a total of $100,000. In this way, we hope to play a small part in transforming the holiday season into the giving season for those with the greatest needs.
Wondering how to get involved?
It's simple. On November 27th your family, community, company or organization can all get in on the giving. Please tell everyone you can about what you are doing this giving season and why it matters. If you want to get involved with what we're doing at Microsoft, simply make a donation to your favorite youth project at GiveforYouth.org, and we'll match your donation—you give a dollar, we give a dollar and we fund a lot of dreams. You can also follow the conversation online by tracking #GivingTuesday.
