Selinger, U of W donate books to school in India
Gift intended to help educate women
Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger and delegates from the University of Winnipeg have presented books from Winnipeg to a school in India dedicated to the education of women.
The Mata Gujri Memorial Library and Learning Centre in Bhanohar is a project between the U of W, World Literacy Canada, Winnipeg homebuilder Ventura Custom Homes and the school's village to support children's literacy. The new facility will be open to young women attending schools in the Bhanohar area of the Punjab region.
"This library establishes a vital educational resource for young women and girls in the Punjab and promises to be a touchstone for ongoing initiatives that are bringing our communities closer together," Selinger said in a statement on Wednesday. "This partnership will strengthen our connections with India as more young women look to Manitoba as a great place to continue their education."
The creation of the Mata Gujri Memorial Library and Learning Centre was made possible by a donation of $70,000 in 2010 from Cliff Penner, president and owner of Ventura Custom Homes, to the U of W.
Penner has made an additional donation of $50,000 to the centre's operations and programming.
The U of W has recently partnered with World Literacy Canada to manage the facility's operations and programming, which will include literacy classes, skills training and personal development such as health and nutrition.
"This is a truly inspiring example of how local determination can have a positive global impact," Dr. Lloyd Axworthy, president and vice-chancellor of the U of W, said in a release. "It is a uniquely Manitoban effort to help children -- especially girls -- in India achieve literacy and empowerment in one small village."
There are currently eight young women from Bhanohar studying at the U of W, a trend that the downtown campus wants to strengthen through the centre.
The book donation also begins a fundraising campaign to help furnish the new library with more books and digital content.
A selection of books written by Manitoban children's authors was also donated by U of W. World Literacy Canada contributed other books and educational resources. The U of W is planning a public event in early March to increase awareness of women's literacy issues in India and to raise at least $70,000 to support ongoing educational programs at the centre.
Selinger is in India as part of a 10-day trade mission and to also promote the province as an education destination. He's joined by local business leaders and representatives of Manitoba's colleges and universities.
The trip includes stops in Delhi and Mumbai along with several smaller centres including Chandigarh, Sawaddi, Ludhiana, Agra and Ahmadabad.

HoopsHype Trey Burke Buzz Meter
by HoopsHype - Updated: November 22, 2014 | 11:28 PM
So happy for Trey Burke to get out of his shooting woes - 8 for 12 - 20 points.
Trey Burke having a really nice game...Has 16 points and three assists...Jazz within 68-55...trying to make a push
Halftime: Pelicans 57, Jazz 40. Anthony Davis has 21 pts, 6 reb. The Jazz's top two scorers, Hayward and Burke, have combined for 22 points.
Trey Burke's been Utah's best player offensively in the first half
Eric Gordon tried to cut off Trey Burke's drive on the perimeter and he got hooked under his left shoulder. No status update yet.
End of 1: Pels 25, Jazz 23. Burke progressing to the mean? He's hit all three of his attempts for a game-high 9 pts. Gordon w/ 8 for NOP.
Trey Burke just blocked Jrue Holiday's shot....nice start to this game on both ends
Jrue Holiday is going have to defend Trey Burke tougher on the perimeter. He's made two straight 3-pointers.
Trey Burke for three.....twice in a row....
Did Iguodala just hit Burke with a Euro … without dribbling?
Trey Burke played his best game of the season on Tuesday night. He's playing his worst tonight....and it's not even close
So in three possessions that Trey Burke has been back in, the Warriors have been going right at him
GSW vs UTA starters: GSW -- Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Green, Bogut; UTA -- Burke, Burks, Hayward, Favors, Kanter. Out: Lee (hamstring).
Utah would be a great place for a Rose return. The Rose dominated Trey Burke into a fetal position this summer for Team USA.
Too glycemic? RT @David Locke Quin Snyder singles out Alec Burks and Trey Burke for having juice.
Quin Snyder singles out Alec Burks and Trey Burke for having juice.
Trey Burke with arguably his best game of the season, 17 points and 9 assists
Stay tuned for Trey Burke as the @Utah Jazz TV walkoff interview. Dante Exum will be the guest on the postgame show. #OKCatUTA
Trey Burke has played a very good all-around game tonight. Balancing scoring and playmaking
Trey Burke with a wicked - and I mean WICKED - crossover on Reggie Jackson. Goes to the bucket and lays it in. You may see GIFS of that one
Dante Exum has three assists in six minutes. Creating for others. Trey Burke has hit a few three's. Mostly, Jazz looking for energy
Jazz starting lineup: Hayward, Burke, Burks Favors and Kanter
Snyder: trey burke's floor game has been huge. We need him to make strides defensively
I see Brian Burke didn't stop saying idiotic things once he left town...
How does Trey Burke spend his Monday night? Chilling at the Orem Walmart. Apparently photo-taker @Tad_Walch does too. http://t.co/sO5BCuyDpY
Attacked Burke until Utah switched defenders. Really effective. RT @LexCSpencer: @[me] Lowry's small man post-up game is unreal.
Raptors coach Dwane Casey talking about DeMar DeRozan, not Trey Burke: http://t.co/3KwlwG50IQ
Quin Snyder'in Burke ve Exum varken Hayward'la oyun kurdurması <3 ... Utah güzel takım oluyor, güzel de oynuyor
Trey Burke just fouled Lou Williams, who made the 3-pointer but missed the free throw. Jazz trail 79-76 with 10 minutes to go.
Jazz start the fourth with Burke, Hayward, Ingles, Kanter, Favors.
End of 3: Raptors 76, Jazz 72. DeRozan is up to 23. Valanciunas has 15 & 13. For Utah, it's Favors 14, Kanter 13, Burke & Burks 10 apiece.
Toronto is isloating Trey Burke on defense and it has sparked him on the offensive end. Breaking the paint more than I've seen all yr
Burke and Lowry trading buckets early in the second half. Raps up 56-55.
Trey Burke playing well but if this game is close the Jazz might need Dante Exum on floor to allow Alec to guard Lowry late #UTAatTOR
Trey Burke just hit a shot from the same spot as his game-winner at Madison Square Garden last night.
Jazz bigs (Favors/Kanter): 6-for-9 FG, 13 points. Jazz guards (Burks/Burke): 2-for-10 FG, 4 points. Raps down 1 with 1:37 left in the 1stQ

Trey Burke sinks the Knicks, 102-100, with a buzzer-beater at the Garden. My story: sltrib.com/sports/1825261…
Burke was so deep in the corner that Larkin and Anthony referred to the shot as a 3-pointer. But he was on or inside the line when he shot.

Financial Literacy For Kids: Not Just About The Money
Now, more than ever, our kids need to know the value of a dollar (or peso, Euro, or yen). In this time of what many would call the 'age of entitlement', knowing how to earn, save, and yes, how to spend, their money is crucial. It can be an allowance or a job, but there should be something. If you give an allowance, when and how much is up to you.

What does raising the bar look like for you? What expectations do you have for your children? Setting high expectations is a good thing, as long as the bar isn't out of reach. Some of the students I teach have trouble with organization and keeping track of assignments. Meetings with parents of tweens and guidance sometimes result in a long list of things the child is supposed to accomplish or master.

One of the regrets of the dying is that they wish they'd allowed themselves to be happier, realizing, finally, that happiness is a choice. I hate to be morbid, but it's something to think about. Life is short. Here are a few things you might consider for more happiness in the New Year.
Family Language
Have you known someone who says, "I'm with my partner because I love her [or him] despite the fact that she's mean [or irresponsible, or gambles compulsively, or whatever]."? The psychological truth is that the person is with the partner not despite this problem, but because of it!

Ever Wonder Why Your Relationships Don't Work Out?
Are you too eager? Authenticity is a very attractive quality but so is not being too eager. Recent research has indicated that appearing highly self-confident as part of playing hard to get tests the commitment and quality of any would-be mate. The researchers sugest "...that the more unavailable a person is, the more people are willing to invest in them." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/loves-big-secret-play-hard-to-get-8395973.html
