Math Books And WoodchippersI was acting like a brat yesterday and that got me in some trouble so here is the story.
It all started in the early afternoon of yesterday, I was stuck in the house studying math, I wasnt really paying attention, but I stumbled across this really really lame joke, and I think thats actually where all my trouble started.
"My math book jumped out the window." "It commit suicide because it had to many problems."
hahahaha I know that is really bad joke but sometimes the lame ones can be the funniest, I thought "Heck why not give it a shot and see what happens"................I threw my book out the window, and got on EP to tell everyone the joke, but my EP mom told me to go and get it and get back to work, so I went outside to get the book when a brilliant idea (its really stupid now but I wasnt thinking straight at the time) occured to me why not put this book in the woodchipper and see what happens and at least I wont have to do it anymore.
As some of you probably know from my previous stories we are staying at my aunt and uncles house while my parents are away, they are strict with us but still really nice, and when I was feeding hay to the horses I noticed they had a wood chipper behind th barn, its just a big grinding thing you use to shred big branches and wood.
We we sternly told not to play back there, but I thought why not no one will notice if i use it just this it once and i'll be careful.
I turned it on tossed my math book in and in a few seconds it had been grinded into a million pieces it actually kind felt good, I knew I would probably be in trouble the next day when my tutor came and I didnt have my math book but oh well. My excuse would be I tripped over a log and it "accidentally" fell in and got grinded I have seen stuff like that happen plenty of times on tv.
I went backinside and went about my business but it wasnt about an hour later when I heard my uncle yelling in a very stern voice "ALEXIA ERICA COME OUT HERE RIGHT NOW I NEED TO HAVE A WORD WITH BOTH OF YOU!!!" : / uh oh someone is in trouble I asumed it was me because well we all know I can be a so I took my time.
My uncle was standing in the front yard with his hands folded across his chest and he looked MAD : / thats not a good sign.
We lined up in front of him, he already had his belt off ready to spank which ever one of us was guilty, here is how the conversation goes "Alright who did it?" Whenever I am in trouble I have found playing dumb does help a little bit. so I mumbled in a half sarcastic half annoyed tone "Who did what."
He was mad thats for sure, so he said again, "Which one of you was playing with the woodchipper, I was just back there its hot and there are shavings all over the place so I know one of you kids was messing with it? you've got 10 seconds to confess or i'm gonna whip both your butts!!!"
Uh Oh : / I'm kinda stuck now I cant lie and say I didnt do it because then Erica would get in trouble too, I shoved my hands in my pockets and looked at the ground.
Erica was almost crying by now her eyes were big and sad and her lip was quivering in a few more minutes the water works would have started, but she made a confession, not on her but on ME!!!
"Wull Uncle Arlie, I didnt go near that scary grindy thing but just about an hour ago I saw Lexi go behind barn carrying her math book".
As the natural reaction I yelled at her "SHUT UP YOU LITTLE BRAT!!!" my uncle yelled "HEY DONT TALK TO YOUR SISTER LIKE THAT IS WHAT SHE SAYING TRUE????" I shrugged my shoulders and said "I dunno maybe", he grabbed my by the ear and pulled hard and said ' I WANT THE TRUTH NOW!!!!" I knew I was trapped so I mummbled a simple "yeah", my uncle got the information he wanted he turned me around and started whacking my butt right there in the front yard, they live in the middle of nowhere so its not like anyone saw us but still it felt humiliating, he was laying down that belt pretty hard and I was crying and screaming by the 10th whack, that belt was wide and thick and it hurt I didnt have a chance to put padding on underneath my jeans, when he got there done I just stoof there crying while he yelled at me "WHAT THE H*LL DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING, THATS DANGEROUS EQUIPMMENT ,YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO PLAY WITH IT COULD HAVE TOOK YOUR ARM OFF , AND YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO DAMAGE BOOKS YOU NEED FOR LEARNING, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!"
I blubbered out an "Idontknow" and he yelled again "WELL GET IN THE HOUSE AND GO TO YOUR ROOM TO THINK ABOUT."
So I dragged myself in the house and layed on my bed till I stopped crying, and I did think about it a little bit, I know now it was wrong to shred my math book I know when my parents get home they are probably going to make me buy a new one, I guess he's right that thing could have probably took off my arm in one grind : / that have sucked.
My uncle talked with me later and said that he didnt want to whip me but I am old enough to know better not to do stupid stuff and when I stop these obserd shenanignas maybe then i will stop getting spanked, he said I mostly just scared him, I could have been hurt by that chipper and no one would have ever known where I was : / guess that is a good point.
I wish I could end this story and say I behaved the rest of the evening and didnt get in anymore trouble but that wouldnt be true, I learned my lesson about wood chippers but I was still in a brat mood.
I was in my room working hard on homework, when Erica burst in the room and started asking all these annoying questions............"hi whatcha doing, what are you working on, why do you use mechanical pencils, do you want to play a game, when your done do you want to watch a movie then you are done..........." Erica is a sweet kid but when you are trying to concentrate on physics homework it is not always enjoyable to listen to her mindless jabbering. I got up and shoved her towards the door, she fought back because she didnt want to leave, so i kept pushing and somehow we ended up at the top of the stairs..........I gave he one last final push and down she fell..............................she stumbled half way down but stopped herself before she got all the way down to the botttom, and started screaming bloodly murder...............oh no im in trouble again..........my aunt and uncle heard all the noise and came quickly to see if she was hurt, they checked her to make sure nothing was broken, she was fine she just had a bruised knee, but when she managed blubber out "IdidntfallLexipushedme" they turned on me : /.
This time it was my aunt who was mad, she asked if I shoved her down the stairs, I replied " I dunno maybe I did maybe I didnt the important thing is she is still alive so what does it matter." *SLAP* like OWWWWWWWWWWWWW that hurt my aunt slapped me in the face and yelled at me to "GO TO YOUR ROOM AND WAIT FOR ME, YOU KNOW WE DONT TOLERATE BULLYING IN THIS HOUSE!!!!" : / "Yes Ma'am"
*sigh* I went to my room and prepared for the worse I knew I was going to get it again, I didnt REALLY intend on hurting her she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I looked out the window and saw my aunt cutting a long thick switch : / Uh Oh.
She came back a few minutes later, and told me to get my pants down she was going to teach me not to be mean to my sister and not to push people down the stairs ( I did this once before to Erica when we were probably 5 and 2).
I did as she said I didnt think it would be a wise idea to argue with her, I took down my shorts and bent over the desk chair. I gripped the bottom of the chair, and prepared for the worse, I heard a *SWISH* and then felt a sharp sting across my butt, I let out a loud OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW , she was whacking me really hard, I got about 30 more and I had welts when she was done, but I managed not to break down crying although I had a few tears slidding down my face, she said she wanted me to give Erica a sincere apology and then help her get dinner ready.
I tried my best to put out the fire blazing on my butt, but it was no use I would be feeling that for a while, I went downstairs and Erica was sitting in my Uncles lap, I could tell she had been crying because her face was tear stained : / awwww i hate when i make her sad :(, "Erica i'm sorry for what I did I didnt mean to hurt you, I wasnt being a nice big sister and I'm sorry will you forgive me." She thought about that for a minute and said "Yeah I guess." She was still mad at me this morning but i'm going to try and make it up to her.
After apologizing I went in the kitchen to help with dinner, I like my aunt and uncle but I live without all the chores they make us do, i always seem to be cleaning something, mashed up the potatoes and put them in a bowl and chopped up brocoli :P yuck why do i have to make this stuff when I dont even like it.
My aunt told me to set the table, and I mumbled under my breath "whatever" I didnt think she heard but I guess she did, I was walking away but I didnt see she picked up a frying pan off the counter, you can imagine my suprise when the bottom of the pan hit my bottom with a loud *WHACK* that hurt like HECK!!!!! I screamed "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"
felt worse than a wood paddle and on top of my welts it brough tears to my eyes, I turned around and gave her the look of "What on earth did you do that for?" and she said "There is no back talk in my kitchen now do as your told or I will use that on your instead of a switch.
: / yikes lets just say i set the table happily and cheerfully, the only good part about that was it mad Erica laugh all through dinner she kept calling me "Dinner Bell, and Butt Gong." Well at least it made her laugh.
And my last an final incident was later that night about wearing shorts that were too short.
I put on some low tight shorts and went down stairs to get a snack my uncle raised his eye brows in disapproval and my aunt very sternly told me "Go and change out of those RIGHT NOW." "Why whats wrong with them?" "Because i said so, those are waaaayyy to short for a proper young lady."
I dropped my head back and rolled my eyes, I headed to my room and when I was at a safe spot from the top of the stair case I yelled down to them "DONT YOU OLD PEOPLE REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS LIKE LOOKING YOUNG AND SEXY!!!"
Down below I heard my uncle yell.............."I hear one more word out of you young lady your going to have trouble sitting for a looooong time, go to bed."
: / Yikes I decided then it would be a good time to shut up, my butt was sore enough.
Man what a day and it didnt stop there I snuck out later that night to go swimming with some friends but thankfully I didnt get caught for that.
So there is my story, I know I can be a brat, and a handful, and I dont always listen but I'm trying, i'll get it right some day, but for now i'm still learning
I kind of hope that you are making up this story and that you really didn't do all those things.

Of course, if that is true, then you deserve a good spanking from all of your readers.

I never had to spank my kids when they were growing up. But if one of them was as bad as you have been, then they wouldn't have considered putting shorts on that were too tight. Their bottoms would have been so sore that they would not have been able to put shorts on.
Because it is a fun fantasy. But don't orget, even good girls need spanking.
Your bad you got what you deserved
I found it humorous that you actually put your math book in the chipper. I would love to do that to my chemistry book. lol
LOL that's a lot of trouble to be getting in in just one day....

Last week, Bank of America Merrill Lynch (ticker: BAC) announced it had raised $13.5 million from over 40 private and institutional clients, financing a reform initiative for previously incarcerated New York state criminals. The proceeds will provide training and employment programs for 2,000 newly released ex-cons in hopes of reducing recidivism. If successful, the State will save millions in incarceration and criminal justice system costs; a portion of those savings will then be paid to BofA's philanthropic-minded investors, a market-rate financial return for those who helped finance the state's reform program.
Social-impact bonds, or "pay for success bonds," raise private investor dollars to fund social programs that reduce public sector costs, aids society in some way, and generate fixed income-like payouts to investors. The BofA/New York partnership is the most significant social-impact bond to-date globally. It also makes New York the first state in the U.S. to launch such a project.
Impact bonds are promising because their structure allows financially strapped communities to save money on essential government services. Investors pony-up the project's start-up capital and the government doesn't pay a cent until the project reaches predetermined benchmarks.
Want to better understand the mistakes charities make, so you can do a better job in your own philanthropic endeavors? Here's a follow-up to Paul Theroux's "Africa's Aid Mess" cover story for Penta, and our blog "African Philanthropy: Five of the Best": Two books that are in some way about the enormous amount of charitable dollars that disappear in a vortex of eleemosynary fog.
Journalist Jonathan Katz follows the waste of 2010's post-hurricane fundraising for Haiti, while Ken Stern investigates the inefficiencies that generally riddle charitable organizations. Though their underlying storylines are radically different, both are cautionary tales with lessons to be learned for philanthropic-minded do-gooders.
At the Van Andel Institute, a cancer research organization based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, impatience with the medical status quo is baked into its DNA. Currently, it takes ten years and a billion dollars to get a drug approved by the FDA, says David Van Andel, the institute's chairman and CEO. That's simply unacceptable, he says.
Which is why Van Andel has pushed his institute to focus on translational research, which aims to speed up the adoption of research from "bench to bedside." The bulk of the institute's recent work is in repurposing existing drugs for other uses, and on improving early diagnosis of deadly diseases. "I think [medical research] too often loses the human face and focuses too much on the science," Van Andel says. "We forget that we're dealing with life and death situations for people who depend on these treatments."
He is not spouting public relations slogans. "David and I were married a year and a half, when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer," says his wife, Carol. "At 24 years old, you think you're pretty wise." Since that terrifying diagnosis about 30 years ago, the couple, financially blessed, have devoted themselves to fighting cancer in all its guises. "We're impatient because we know how important it is to find a cure as quickly as we can," Carol says. And it helps, she says, that "this organization is being led by two people who have heard the devastating words 'you have cancer.' It's that personal element that we know well."
How do you ensure that your portfolio, in the search for market-rate returns, isn't undermining the social and environmental goals of your family's foundation—or even the next generation's heart-felt concerns? The answer, increasingly, is the small but fast-growing "social-impact investing" sector.
Social-impact investing differs from "socially responsible investing" (screening funds for, say, alcohol or weapons stocks) or even venture philanthropy (funding management improvements at charismatic nonprofits, so they can roll out their services to larger numbers of people.) Social-impact investors instead seek companies that generate measurable social or environmental impact—and earn decent financial returns in the process.
Here is a list of five philanthropic organizations successfully making inroads in Africa –and why. But, before we start, be aware that "effective" philanthropy is usually defined as having achieved "results." That's fine, but "effective" is not the same thing as "worthy." If you're going to use hard evidence of results as your only yardstick for measuring philanthropic success, charities with more intangible but nevertheless still important goals will probably not make the cut.
The African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) operates, for example, in seven different African nations; its multi-pronged approach tackles everything from maternal health to medical research. The charity is pursuing worthy causes, in other words, but given its vast reach and scope, results are hard to measure. So don't overlook some of the many "worthy" charities out there that don't have the cold metrics to document all their results.
That caveat aside, here are five effective Africa-focused charities that smartly get the job done. They've been hand-picked by Page Snow, the chief philanthropic officer of Foundation Source, a Connecticut-based philanthropic advisor and partner to 1,110 private foundations across the country. (To learn more about Foundation Source, check out Penta's article, "Help for Philanthropists.")
In uptown New York City, Harlem kids are invited to dart around StreetSquash's 19,000 square-foot facility. The nonprofit is essentially a dedicated after-school tutoring program that also teaches its participants, ages 11 to 18, the ins-and-outs of squash. The sport is generally associated with stuffy country clubs and most of the StreetSquashers had never heard of the sport prior to joining the program. An unlikely pairing, it's nonetheless proven relatively successful.
Out on the squash courts, sneakers screech and racquets lob, volley and drive shots smartly against walls. The kids laugh, yell and socialize. But in the facility's quiet backrooms, the real work is being done. Students, grades 6 to 12, are prompted by supervising adults to keep-up on their academics. These advisors drill students on everything from mathematics to general literacy, in preparation for college, and communicate with the students' public school teachers throughout the week, so students stay on the ball.
The nonprofit was originally founded to "battle for kids that deserve more people battling for them," founder George Polsky told Penta, when we met him at their large facility on 115th and Lenox. Each year, Polsky raises $1.5 million per year to support the programming and maintain the facility, hitting-up foundations like the Charles Hayden Foundation and the J.P. Morgan Foundation and deep-pocketed private industry squash players that sit on his board, like Mort Zuckerman of U.S. News & World or Steve Green chairman of the board for the publicly-traded company SL Green Realty.
At an intimate event the other night at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York, a gaggle of wealthy individuals—ranging from Howard W. Buffett (Warren's grandson) to Ron Cordes (co-chairman of Genworth Financial Wealth Management)—sat down to sip wine and swap stories about their philanthropic efforts.
The evening was organized by the Wealth & Giving Forum, a small-scale peer-to-peer network that inspires wealthy folks to both give more and learn best practices from one another. The forum has been run since 2004 by Glen Macdonald, a Hillview Capital Advisor senior vice president. Macdonald, backed by fellow volunteers, essentially puts a small group of wealthy families and charismatic social entrepreneurs together in a room, and then lets simple storytelling do the rest
Howard W. Buffett, 30, is a professor at Columbia University's school of international studies and public affairs, and the son of farmer-philanthropist Howard G. Buffett. The executive director of his father's family foundation, Howard W. was a little stiff getting started. But he soon had us riveted as he talked openly about the guidance he and his father received from his grandfather, to "focus on few activities," to "make an important difference" by meeting a need not addressed by others, and to be prepared "to make mistakes."
This week, in New York City, Reason magazine hosted Vanity Fair contributing editor and author Nina Munk, as she discussed her recent book, The Idealist: Jeffrey Sachs and the Quest to End Poverty. The book chronicles the six-plus years Munk spent following the distinguished economist Jeffrey Sachs, from Dertu, Kenya to Ruhiira, Uganda, on his crusade to end extreme poverty in sub-Saharan Africa.
In her book, Munk purposely avoids passing judgement and lets her on-the-ground reporting speak for itself. Yet skeptical questioners in Tuesday night's audience drew out her personal views on the subject. Much to Munk's chagrin, she recounted the celebrity economist's ultimate failure to deliver on his lofty promises.
In November 2006, Munk was dispatched by Vanity Fair to follow Sachs during the initial rollout of his Millennium Villages Project. Sachs had just published his book, The End of Poverty, a call to action for global leaders. The goal of Millennium, a non-governmental organization, was to implement Sachs' blueprint for empowering millions of destitute Africans.
This week, the University of Utah announced that the Sorenson Impact Foundation, which invests in philanthropic-minded entrepreneurs, would fund five early-stage social-impact investments that were hand selected by its students. Total investment: $2 million.
Not a lot of money, but part of that growing nexus where financial investments and philanthropy intersect. In "The Profits of Good Works," we reported on how a nonprofit, B Lab, was building a Moody's-style system certifying businesses that were "socially beneficial." Examples of certified firms range from an environmentally friendly wind farm to an affordable housing construction company in India. The Utah university students, through the Sorenson Global Impact Investing Center (SGII), are going beyond B Lab's neutral certification process by identifying what they think are the most viable businesses that will have the greatest social impact in the future.
The foundation will, for example, fund Liberty & Justice, a fair-trade apparel manufacturer based in Liberia and Ghana. Chid Liberty, the company's founder, is a Liberian-born son of a diplomat, whose family left the country in the early '80s following the bloody coup and subsequent ethnic strife. After 28 years abroad, Liberty returned in 2009 with the idea of providing employment for internally displaced women.
Tiger 21 has stepped up its game in the field of philanthropy.
Tiger 21 is, as regular readers of Penta know, a peer-to-peer investment group for high net worth investors. The group currently has 210 members with an average net worth of $70 million. To learn more about their rather brutal peer reviews of portfolios, called "Portfolio Defense", read Penta's past coverage here and here.
Now, using the Tiger 21 technique – a member "defends" his or her philanthropic choices as peers critically analyze their allocations and thinking – group members are honing their philanthropic skills and effectiveness. It started three years ago when topics like asset allocation and accountability crept into the more perfunctory philanthropic debates. Realizing more was needed, Tiger 21 founder Michael Sonnenfeldt helped build the "Philanthropic Defense," the group's platform for determining charitable best-practices, and, by extension, applying members' entrepreneurial energy and insights to gift-giving.
Written with Barron's wit and often contrarian perspective, Penta provides the affluent with advice on how to navigate the world of wealth management, how to make savvy acquisitions ranging from vintage watches to second homes, and how to smartly manage family dynamics.
Richard C. Morais, Penta's editor, was Forbes magazine's longest serving foreign correspondent, has won multiple Business Journalist Of The Year Awards, and is the author of two novels: The Hundred-Foot Journey and Buddhaland, Brooklyn. Robert Milburn is Penta's reporter, both online and for the quarterly magazine. He reviews everything from family office regulations to obscure jazz recordings.

SO I was hoping today's post would say ALL DONE!… instead I sat on my couch yesterday from 6:30am til 2:00am working on my booklet and, one hour long conversation with Roberto later, I have 2 planner pages of notes on things to change. And he would really like it if I finished my Revit model so I had renderings of the spaces I talk about, but that definitely won't happen before Germany. Ohh, and that paper I have to rewrite again before January 31st. So much for done.
But I am headed back to RI tomorrow morning, taking an early ferry to try and beat the accumulating snow. I'll probably be back by noon for those who care, and hopefully have plans for a game of tactics, trivia, and trickery tomorrow night. I'm already mostly packed for Munich, just books & knitting to pick out now, and a few small things to grab, so it looks like booklet editting on Saturday, and maybe Revit some of the nights in Munich? Then the paper when I get back. We'll see how it goes.
Now, to finish packing my room up.

With the trade deadline less than one week away, rumors about the San Francisco 49ers making a move to land much needed receiver help have continued to swirl.
Receiver's Hakeem Nicks from the New York Giants and Josh Gordon from the Cleveland Browns have been the two biggest names to surface in recent weeks.
With Mario Manningham back at practice and possibly back in the starting lineup in the next couple of weeks as well as Michael Crabtree some time in mid-to late November, the 49ers may be in an interesting predicament where any move made would involve the use of a high draft pick in favor for a player who at season's end may wind up a victim of free agency, or in laymen's terms, "a rent a player".
For the 49ers, any welcomed help at wide receiver would be nothing but improvement over their current roster. Outside of Anquan Boldin, the 49ers receivers' haven't had much success at getting open.
Starting WR Kyle Williams is the fourth leading receiver for the 49ers behind Boldin, tight end Vernon Davis and fullback Bruce Miller with just 10 catches in 7 games for 101 yards.
After Williams, Jon Baldwin is 7th on the 49ers with three catches.
As a result of the lack of production from the WR spot for the 49ers, QB Colin Kaepernick has suffered statically with just 8 touchdown passes in seven games, three of those games Kap didn't hit the endzone through the air.
For the 49ers, acquiring either Nicks or Gordon would help spread the Niners offense vertically allowing for more room in the middle of the field for Vernon Davis, who leads the 49ers with six touchdown receptions.
With a fully healthy squad, the 49ers offense could easily become the best and most balanced in the league, and that's a scary thought for some teams late in the season.

"Perhaps it's true that things can change in a day. That a few dozen hours can affect the outcome of whole lifetimes. And that when they do, those few dozen hours, like the salvaged remains of a burned house—the charred clock, the singed photograph, the scorched furniture—must be resurrected from the ruins and examined. Preserved. Accounted for. Little events, ordinary things, smashed and reconstituted. Imbued with new meaning. Suddenly they become the bleached bones of a story."

When my great grandfather was dying, I couldn't spend his last days with him. I felt so hopeless, knowing I can't do anything about it and guilty for not visiting him more often while I could. As much as I wanted to be there with him, I couldn't and this made me think differently about my family in poland and how we are separated from each other and don't spend enough time together. This September, while visiting my family in Poland, I've decided to photography my grandfather who is also sick while I still can. I felt the urge to do this. The first two portraits of my grandfather haven't been posed, I took them two days before he ended up in a hospital, while the remaining three I took, when he was gone. His shirt was left exactly the way he left it, untouched. My grandparents have been supporting a Polish medical foundation, and now my grandfather needs help himself.

He still can't face me. As it should be.
I'm sorry.
Delay is the deadliest form of denial. - C. Northcote Parkinson
Your standards aren't up for negotiation just because he/she can't meet them.
My BIL knew, in fact, he and my H double dated!! (BIL was cheating too).
It hurt to think that BIL cared so little for me and my 2 children. (Though I guess if my own H didn't care... ) It was also humiliating to think that he knew more about my life than I did at one point.
Probably why I have not acknowledge him in 2 years.
For nearly three years he'd drop by my house occasionally to play cards with WH and make small talk with me like nothing was going on. During the A he even made a point of saying hi to me at a half marathon we both ran.
The guy has not shown his face at my house since I learned about the A. If I ever run into his W I will tell her all about the behavior her H is willing to tolerate...
For me, seeing pictures of him and his friends hanging out with this one other chick just made me feel like I was some joke, like I wasn't the real thing. I thought he had hidden this OW from everyone, but I was so wrong. What a hit in the head it was.
For the second EA, not only didn't our "friends" knew it, but they protected him and did whatever they could to enable the EA not to mention one of the friends wanted to bring the AP down to our home to spend Spring Break with us and for her to be close to my H. Now how disgusting is this???
I won't be surprised if I find out that even more people knew and kept their mouths shut.

Dynamat doesn't have to cover the entire area to work, so I cut the material into approximately equal width strips. A utility knife and a metal straightedge work great for these types of cuts, but my scissors were well within reach. The masking tape (also handy) seemed easier than finding something that would actually mark on the rubber-like material, in addition to making it easier to see in the photos.

Made in Africa: Oliberté Footwear provides jobs to the continent in lieu of charity
For GOOD, I profile Oliberté Footwear and its Made in Africa manufacturing model:
'Why or how could anyone want to make shoes in a place full of so much poverty and corruption?'
That's the question many people asked Canadian Tal Dehtiar when he founded Oliberté Footwear, the first company to make premium shoes in Africa using African materials and explicitly linking shoes sold by Western retailers to job creation on the continent. Dehtiar started the Toronto-based company in 2009, and sales increased from a mere 200 pairs initially to 10,000 in 2011. He projects sales of between 20,000 and 25,000 this year.
"At Oliberté, we believe Africa can compete on a global scale," he says, "but it needs a chance. It doesn't need handouts or a hand up. It needs people to start shaking hands and companies to start making deals to work in these countries."

"A kick in the teeth" is the verdict of one student at Oxford Brookes University on the decision taken by the university to end its Legal Practice Course (LPC).
Oxford Brookes will cease to teach the LPC from this summer, meaning that part-time students who enrolled this year are to be left in limbo. The university's decision to stop teaching the LPC follows a spate of universities closing their graduate diploma in law (GDL) in 2011.
Professor Meryll Dean, head of the school of law, said: "Following a recent consultation, a decision has been made to close Oxford Brookes' LPC to further recruitment.
"The LPC is a respected course taught by committed staff, but unfortunately a steady decline in applications over the past five years has meant that the programme is no longer tenable. This decline in applications is one which is mirrored nationally across the sector.
"We are working closely with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) to ensure that appropriate arrangements are in place for those who are currently studying as part of the course. The decision to close the course was not taken lightly and the university is committed to ensuring students and staff are fully supported during this time."
The SRA has stated: "We are in discussions with Oxford Brookes about its proposals to cease delivery of its LPC. Our focus is on ensuring that the quality of experience for all students, full and part-time, together with the standards set for the programme, are maintained throughout this process."
Oxford Brookes LPC student Damon Ballinger also tweeted "Ox Brookes has cancelled my LPC at the halfway point! What to do…#furious". Just yesterday the aspiring lawyer tweeted: "nearly there for this round of exams! Stick with it and we'll all be sipping champers when we qualify #finalpush".
Elise Max, a lecturer and legal consultant, tweeted: "Disgusting & irresponsible. Should have to see current students through to end Oxford Brooks stopping LPC course".
Barrister James Bell replied: "It's shoddy & unfair on the students whose fees they've trousered!"
A slump in student numbers forced Southampton Solent University, the universities of Sunderland, East London and Wolverhampton and Sheffield Hallam University to stop teaching the GDL in 2011.
Last week, Lawyer2B revealed that demand for NQs has fallen among top firms (26 February 2013).

Through five games in the 2013 season, the Chicago White Sox were 3-2. They would finish the opening month of the season five games under .500 (10-15) and would lose 84 of the next 137 games to finish 63-99, the third-worst record in baseball. Although their five-game start has been promising for the Sox in 2014, they're actually a game off their early start last season.
The White Sox fell to Kansas City for the second straight day on Saturday afternoon with a 4-3 loss to the Royals. Salvador Perez's eighth-inning double off Sox reliever Scott Downs ended up being the deciding factor.
In his first start of the season, John Danks went seven innings, gave up five hits, three runs (all earned), four walks and struck out six on 116 pitches. Danks didn't give up a hit until the fourth inning, when the Royals scored twice to take a 2-0 lead.
The teams would exchange runs in the fifth inning, courtesy of a RBI groundout by Adam Eaton and a sacrifice fly by Kansas City's Billy Butler.
The Sox made another late-game push by tying the game at three in the eighth inning by scoring twice. Conor Gillaspie hit a frozen rope to center field to drive home Marcus Semien with the bases loaded. Paul Konerko followed Gillaspie's single with a sacrifice fly to right field to tie the game.
As most have stated multiple times (including myself), this White Sox team is a different bunch. Even with a small sample of the season (five games = roughly 3% of the season), the Sox have shown a sense of urgency and fight in games that wasn't seen during the nightmare of 2013.
The one big issue that's clear already with the Sox: the bullpen (and the high amount of walks). In Saturday's loss, White Sox pitchers had five more walks, four by Danks.
#WhiteSox had one walk on Opening Day and 23 since.
— Dan Hayes (@DanHayesCSN) April 5, 2014
(Technically, it's 24 walks for the Sox since Opening Day. Scott Downs walked Billy Butler in the eighth inning after Hayes tweeted this stat.)
What also hurt the Sox in the loss: the Sox were 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position and left 22 runners on base. Kansas City pitcher Bruce Chen frustrated the Sox once again with a strong outing. In 6 2/3 innings pitched, Chen gave up six hits, just one earned run, no walks and struck out seven on 101 pitches.

Greetings, teachers! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
As a reminder, Season for Sharing, the Arizona Republic /12 News annual fundraising drive, is in full swing. You may have seen some of our stories.
Last year, 145 Arizona agencies received $2.7 million to help at-risk children and families, improve educational skills, aid victims of domestic violence and serve the elderly. Since 1993, more than $49 million has been distributed through Season for Sharing.
The Gannett Foundation and our community partner, the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust, will match each gift 50 cents on the dollar until donations reach $800,000. That's an extra $400,000 to local agencies.
100 percent of every donation and the matching funds go directly to nonprofit agencies in the Valley and state. All overhead and fundraising costs are paid for by The Arizona Republic and 12 News. Season for Sharing is a donor-advised fund of the Arizona Community Foundation.
Find us on Facebook and help share stories of the season!
