By Michael Medved
The "Doonesbury" comic strip by Garry Trudeau has rarely delivered laughs in recent years but it often provides important perspective on the peculiar worldview of wealthy, Ivy League, establishment liberals.
In last Sunday's installment, veteran character Mark Slackmeyer, a gay radio broadcaster for NPR, provides commentary regarding the purported failure of conservative comedians. One such up-tight right-winger is trying to do stand-up to amuse the faithful at some conservative convention (identified only as "Con Com"), beginning his set with the lame opening, "…So what's up with wetbacks? Seriously?"
In the panels that follow, Slackmeyer wryly observes, "Hey, folks! Ever wonder why conservative comedy is so unfunny? …. Well, here's the problem. The point of satire is to comfort the afflicted by afflicting the comfortable… Whereas the point of conservatism is the exact opposite!… Truth is, ridiculing the non-privileged isn't particularly funny – it's just mean!… The result? There's virtually no good conservative comedy!… But, hey, don't take my word for it….Hear for yourself!"
In the final panel, the bespectacled conservative comic embarrasses himself by saying, "So 20,000 illegals sneak into a bar…." while off-stage audience reaction registers as "Groan", "Booo!" and "Hissss!"
Never mind the fact that Trudeau is flat-out wrong about the failure of conservative comedy: anyone who's heard Dennis Miller handle a live crowd knows that he has few equals as a master of stand-up when he's ripping liberalism to shreds, while Evan Sayet has put together a rising and significant career by poking fun, gentle and otherwise, at the fatuities of loony leftists. Moreover, the great Jay Leno aimed some of his funniest barbs at liberal icons, making Bill Clinton his favorite target and getting regular laughs at the expense of the Obama administration and its foibles. At the same time, P.J. O'Rourke is arguably the best-loved and most successful humorist in the country and a fierce advocate for his libertarian-conservative point of view, while Rush Limbaugh became the most influential political broadcaster in US history by virtue of his subversive, irresistible sense of humor, not through his bombast.
And Ronald Reagan?
Connoisseurs of presidential wit will tell you that no chief executive since Lincoln deployed humor more effectively or decisively than The Gipper. Even those who never shared Reagan's point of view can smile while remembering his slightly exasperated "there he goes again!" put-down of Jimmy Carter in their 1980 debate, or his peerless handling of the charge four years later that he had grown too old to serve. "I am not going make age an issue in this campaign," he declared with a straight face. "I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience."
Reagan also authored the delectable line: "Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his."
Do such gags illustrate Trudeau's suggestion that "the point of conservatism" is "comforting the comfortable by afflicting the afflicted?" Actually, Reagan's punch lines always evinced great sympathy for the afflicted, particularly those derided and disregarded honest strivers in the struggling middle class. The only ones afflicted by his humor as cited above would be powerful establishmentarians like Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale. Do you still count as a victimized underdog when you're president or vice president of the United States?

Asked: What has been my greatest accomplishment?
It took a bit of searching to answer those ten words.
I wrote back:
I have, what has felt like, three lives.
In the military, I was excellent at my job and enjoyed living in so many different cultures. My highest point in that career occurred while I was teaching at the US Army Intelligence and Security Command and School. I was awarded the Master Instructor Certification. This recognition is given by civilian educators from the US Army Training and Doctrine Command at the Department of Defense. Videos are reviewed of your teaching techniques, and samples of your ability to research develop, write, evaluate and revise technical and geopolitical lesson plans are scrutinized. One instructor a year is chosen from each branch of service. I was honored. I miss teaching and wish I had a profession that lent itself to that endeavor.
After my injury and year long hospitalization, I challenged myself to pursue a new career and lifestyle that would demonstrate and assist others to realize that, "Life exists after traumatic injury or illness and can be even better than the life you sought before." I studied recreation as a form of rehabilitation and reintegration for individuals within their family, community, and to reestablish intimacy with those who cared for and about them.
As an athlete, having the privilege to represent my country at the 1988 Seoul and the 1992 Barcelona Paralympics. To enter a stadium behind your nation's flag and seeing hundreds of thousand spectators is an overwhelming sense of pride, joy, and honor. To have achieved 3 gold, a silver, and 2 bronze medals in my sport felt like justifying my country's belief in me as an ambassador and a representation of what IS possible.
I suppose the greatest of these times has been the interweaving threads of joy, fear, pride and challenge in being a parent and watching my children strive to succeed.
I can hardly wait to see what the next chapter offers...
It is interesting what we can learn about ourselves when asked a poignant question!

The "Tacita project" (from Tàcita, Latin name of the Roman goddess of silence) springs from the desire to develop a motorbike which respects the environment and the people around us, yet being a true machine for real off-roading.
After twenty years of passion for both recreational and competitive enduro, our goal was to build the perfect electric enduro bike, which would be able to compete with traditional motorbike combustion engines, giving the sensations of pure riding, yet being moved by a completely "zero-emission" electric engine.
Tacita was born in 2009, to produce a new enduro bike with electric propulsion performance, whilst being innovative and unique in its characteristics. Since then, our effort has focused on research, engineering and design, to create an Italian bike with temperament, unique in its kind.
The result is the new T-RACE product collection: passion, nature, strength, silence, respect, emotions.
- 100% green
- ergonomics of a grown-up motorbike
- high-tech design
- large autonomy
- great driveability
- asynchronous electric motor three-phase induction
- 5 speed separate gearbox with hydraulic clutch
- liquid cooling for motor and controller
- crank case: machined from solid
- frame designed for the needs of the electric motor and the support of its components and built in chrome molybdenum
- aluminum rear monocoque
- dashboard: smartphone with messaging function to communicate directly with Tacita
- function "Reserve Power", which is automatically activated when the remaining power is at 20%; reducing the power, it unequivocally indicates the need to recharge
- fiber-flax fairing
- two maps of motor brake
- two maps of motor power: eco and sport – for different driving needs
GEARBOX Why the speed gears? In order to have the best gear ratio for every situation, reducing the overheating of the engine and the consumption of electricity. In fact, the lower ratios allow the torque increase, so that the inrush currents decrease, while thanks to the longer gears you will be able to make the most of the engine maximum peak, removing every compromise and keeping the maximum effi ciency.
A main point is that the speed gear with an electric engine does not need to shift gear frequently, because when the proper speed for the road is engaged, you can maintain it.
Furthermore you are not forced to start with the fi rst gear engaged, as it can be useful for reducing uphill skidding, instead. Speed gears are useful downhill, because when you engage lower gears, the bike slows down and this allows lesser use of brakes, preventing overheating, enhancing full control of the bike.
CLUTCH You do not need to use the clutch at the start, because when the electrical system is on and the accelerator is released, the electric motor does not rotate (unlike the internal combustion engine) so the bike does not move, which is why it is not necessary to pull the clutch when you stop. The clutch is then used to reduce the torque, when necessary, and to change gear.
SYSTEM VOLTAGE According to the technical standard IEC 60479-1, the minimum voltage that is considered to be dangerous is 120 V; on the electric motorcycle batteries deliver current, which comes to the controller and is converted into alternating current.
In order to not exceed this safety limitation, not only we have chosen that the total voltage of our batteries is less than 120 V, but we also divided them into two completely autonomous parcels, each of them with a voltage lower than 60 V (Regulation ECE No.100).
|Anthropometric measures
|T-RACE has been developed for sizes ranging from the 5th percentile (female) to the 95th (male): these dimensions fit 95% of the current population, taken as reference. When you get on T-race, driving position, general sizing, kneebending angle and whole body position make you feel as if you had always been riding it.

ABSTRACT: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability annually, and one of the larger populations for which neuroscience nurses care. Differences in gender have been identified as a risk factor for stroke repeatedly throughout the literature. The purpose of this evidence-based literature review is to provide information to healthcare professionals regarding stroke and its relationship with estrogen, the major female sex hormone. Background information on the three types of stroke is outlined, and information on estrogen compounds and hormone replacement therapy is detailed. A review of articles relating estrogen and/or hormone replacement therapy with stroke was performed. Fifty-seven articles met the criteria for inclusion in the review, 19 articles support the use of estrogen and/or an estrogen-related compound in the prevention or treatment of stroke, 6 articles claim estrogen and/or estrogen-related compounds are risk factors for stroke, and 11 articles remain inconclusive with regard to an estrogen and stroke relationship.

November 21, 2014
Los Angeles (AP) Federal investigators say the engineer aboard a Metrolink commuter train that crashed near Los Angeles last week was sending text messages while on duty the day of the collision.
The National Transportation Safety Board looked at cell phone records belonging to the engineer. Sending text messages while on duty is a violation of Metrolink policy, but it's not illegal. The board isn't saying when the engineer sent the messages or whether it thinks text messaging played a role in the collision that killed 25 people.
The California Public Utilities Commission will meet Thursday to vote on a proposed emergency order banning the use of cell phones while operating a train. The commission president, who is seeking the order, says some railroads have such policies but they're
widely ignored.

ASIA/IRAQ - Elections in Iraqi Kurdistan: Patriarch Sako's appeal to Christian politicians
Baghdad ( Agenzia Fides) – With regards to the upcoming general elections for the Kurdistan region of Iraq - set for Saturday, September 21 - the Patriarch of Babylon of the Chaldeans Louis Raphael I Sako appealed to the candidates of the Christian faith to commit themselves "to improving our towns and villages in terms of housing, services and infrastructure, creating jobs so that Christians do not emigrate". In the message, sent to Fides Agency, the Patriarch invites everyone to work for a full achievement of rights linked to citizenship. In view of the national elections, scheduled in 2014, Patriarch Sako also suggested to create a "Christian Political Council" that coordinates the proposed initiatives of the baptized involved in political activity either individually or through training policies expressed by the different ecclesial communities. The contribution of Christians to national cohesion in jeopardy by sectarian conflict - said His Beatitude Sako - would certainly be favored by an increase in the number of deputies elected in the various Christian parties, as well as the share of seats reserved for politicians belonging to different religious minorities.
2,803,000 Iraqis are called to the polls to elect 111 representatives in the fourth regional legislature of Iraqi Kurdistan. The result of the vote does not seem granted. The split between the two main parties, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KD ) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) could favor Islamist parties. (GV) (Agenzia Fides 17/09/2013)

Pacific Coast Oil Trust Announces October Cash Distribution
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 24, 2013--
PACIFIC COAST OIL TRUST (NYSE:ROYT) (the "Trust") a perpetual royalty trust, announced today a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.15761 per unit, payable on October 14, 2013, to unitholders of record on October 4, 2013. The Trust's distribution relates to net profits and overriding royalties generated during August 2013 as provided in the conveyance of net profits and overriding royalty interest.
This month's distribution of $6.1 million is lower than the previous month ($0.15761 per unit vs. $0.16990 per unit) principally due to higher capital expenditures, lower average realized oil prices, which was partially offset by higher production. Production was 6.8 MBoe, or 5% higher than July. Average realized prices were $100.61, or less than 1% lower than prior month.
The current net profits amount from the Developed Properties was approximately $6.0 million, after receipt by PCEC from its counterparties of $0.3 million related to the settlement of applicable hedge contracts during the period. The current month's lease operating expenses were in-line with prior month. The current month's capital expenditures for the Developed Properties were $1.0 million compared to $0.5 million from the prior month. The current month's distribution also includes $0.2 million for the 7.5% overriding royalty on the Remaining Properties which produced 31,129 Boe from 37 Orcutt Diatomite wells and two Orcutt Field wells. The cumulative deficit of the net profits interest on the Remaining Properties, including the 7.5% overriding royalty payments, decreased from $3.9 million to approximately $3.5 million during the month.
Trust administrative expenses and the monthly operating and services fee payable to PCEC totaled approximately $0.1 million and were deducted in the calculation of the total distribution.
Sales Volumes and P
I'm new at trading stocks with cash distributions so let me make sure I got this right. ALL shareholders, not just BENEFICIAL shareholders owning 5% or more will receive $0.15761 per unit on October 14th if they are a shareholder of record on October 4th. Is that correct? The statement "cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest" made me a little unsure.
ALL shareholders will receive $0.15761 per unit on October 14th if they are a shareholder of record on October 4th. Careful record is not same as ex dividend date. It traded ex-dividend on 10/2/13 so If you owned it until that date you will receive the div. You can sell on that date and you still get the Div but you must have owned it the day before.
Just me sure you own it BEFORE the ex-dividend date, which is Oct. 2nd.
yes all shreholders rx distribution. Production was up this pat month!
I was glad to see an increase in cap expenditures, hedgeye maybe will leave them alone. Am hoping others see this as a negative so I can get more today.

Hey a few friends and I are going to Paris soon and we already have a little idea of how stuff is done but could anyone who is rather familiar with the city give us a few tips on where to go out (both eating and having a good night out) without completely emptying our wallets. If there are any particular districts we should check out for that stuff that would be very helpful to know.

Air New Zealand has a new in-flight safety video that some people are upset about. It features bikini-clad "Sports Illustrated" swimsuit models. I think it's a good idea in that it might finally get everyone to pay attention to those things...Men, for obvious reasons, and women because they'll want to anxiously await confirmation regarding an inferior intellect. I think Air New Zealand is on to something. Your thoughts?
In over three decades of U2 videos, their new video for "Invisible" may be the coolest one yet. This Mark Romanek-directed video was shot over three days in a California airport hangar. You may have caught part of it already during this year's Super Bowl, in an ad to support the RED charity. It's got great lighting, and Bono crowd surfing through shocked fans. Kinda epic.
Back in 1982, three preteen friends got together and recreated, shot for shot, 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.' They did it with homemade props, in their spare time and out of love for a shared obsession with Steven Spielberg's 1981 classic.

There was a crazy, two-minute long Super Bowl commercial that you probably didn't see on Sunday. It was an ad for personal injury lawyer Jamie Casino that only aired in Savannah, Georgia. It felt like a blend of a cheesy hard rock music video/mobster movie/trailer for a Nic Cage movie...and I don't think it was a joke. Hey, you gotta admire the fact that he really went after it:
Billy Joel was at Vanderbilt University for a Q&A when a student stood up and asked a bold question. He asked if he could accompany Joel on stage for a performance of "New York State of Mind". What happens next gave me goosebumps. Well done Michael Pollack.

We are in for an extremely hot day with NW/N winds ahead of an evening southerly change. There's around 2ft or so of peaky NE windswell, but much of it is going past south facing Bate Bay. There's a tiny wave at Hendo's off the pool at Nth Cron, but it is well overpopulated for what it is offering. There's also small overcrowded waves at southern Cron reefies. Mad day, enjoy a pleasant cool off swim in safe, inviting waters or go for a drive to Maroubra or down Gong way if your despo for a wave..

Rochester Hills,...
Oh my gosh this was so much fun to make!! I decided to go to the Renaissance Festival in Holly Michigan a couple weekends ago and busted out this costume in a day. My friend went the week before and bought her costume at Free People, she wore a crop top with a long flowing skirt kinda a bohemian look. So that inspired me to create a crop top and skirt but I wanted mine to be richer in color and royal so I used a (flannel back) azure blue satin and a double layered quilted multicolored rose fabric. I needed a fitted bodice for the crop top so I used the Simplicity Jr. & Jr. Plus pattern 3807 and added about 4 inches to the bottom of the bodice so it would end right around my waist. Then I top stitched the blue satin in a design to fit under the bust and added the bronze dirty gold and purple jeweled buttons for finishing details. I bought the belly chain at Joann's and used a small gold pin to hold it together, someone at the festival actually thought it was an authentic belly chain and wanted to know where I bought it because she was going to buy a similar one for $50 somewhere. The skirt was easy I had a bunch of blue satin fabric left over so I folded it in half, sewed it, put a hem in it, and added two rows of ¼" elastic. I had a wonderful time at the festival with my friend; we looked in all the shops which were selling potions, bath salts, medieval tiaras, steampunk goggles, Victorian leather hats, animal ears made out of fur on headbands, corsets, and so much more. We watched jousting, went to the pub and listened to a Scottish folk band, looked at a bunch of fairy houses, and rode a centaur! Such an incredible day :) I will never forget it!

2001 Azelia Barolo Bricco Fiasco
"The 2001 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is one of the most impressive wines in this ten-year retrospective of the 2001 Baroli. The Bricco Fiasco remains vibrant, fresh and beautifully delineated from start to finish. Bright flowers, ripe red cherries, mint and iron flow onto the palate in this gorgeous, totally impeccable Barolo. The 2001 doesn't taste or feel that much different than it did as a young wine."

2005 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Cascina Francia
"It is impossible to ignore the wine's richness and depth, both of which are impressive. With time in the glass hints of sweet roses, cherries, spices and tar emerge, all framed by impeccably silky tannins. As always, readers should taste this wine as soon as possible, as it will almost certainly head for a slumber during which it will be impossible to evaluate with any accuracy. Today, this mid-weight, graceful Barolo Cascina Francia looks to be accessible relatively early, which means around age 10-12 give or take. It is another superb Barolo from Giacomo Conterno."

Dark red fruit, mocha, leather, licorice and spices meld together in this imposing, intense Barolo. As always, this is the darkest of the Voerzio Baroli. Sweet, balsamic notes wrap around the finish."

India imported 1.3 million tonnes of ammonia in 2012-13, despite poor capacity utilisation of 61 per cent of complex fertiliser plants.
Official sources said the package includes a proposal that any additional gas produced in next four years should be supplied to power stations.
FAI said a $1 per mmBtu increase in gas price translates into an impact of Rs 2,300 crore per year on total cost of production of urea.

I'm gonna start these weekly threads, for a "Woman Moment Question of the Week". Keeping this board alive, lol
This week's question is, did you or do you ever unbutton your jeans or pants for comfort? At the dinner table, at the buffet, during your period, whenever? It's a subject that not a lot of women like to discuss (we always tend to do it discreetly under our dinner napkins, usually out of embarrasment), but we can all discuss it here among gal pals. I've done it in all of those three cases, and more, haha.
Looking forward to some great responses!

text: Home > Medical > Depression > News 19 June 2012 Anxiety, depression may raise stroke risk People suffering from anxiety, depression, sleeplessness or other forms of psychological distress are at greater risk of death from a stroke, according to a new study. 0 Learn more about depression with Pharma Dynamics Sponsored by People suffering from anxiety, depression, sleeplessness or other forms of psychological distress are at greater risk of death from a stroke, according to a new study. Researchers from University College London pointed out that psychological distress affects about 15 to 20% of the general population. Previous research has linked these common mental conditions with coronary artery disease, but an association with stroke and other cardiovascular diseases has not been established, they said. How the study was done The researchers examined information from a study of 68 652 adults who participated in the Health Survey for England. The vast majority of participants were white, 45% were men and the average was about 55. Nearly 15% of the people questioned said they were affected by psychological distress, most of them women. Those who reported having psychological distress also tended to be younger, smokers and taking medication for high blood pressure. They also tended to have lower incomes, the researchers added. After following the participants for an average of about eight years, the study's authors found 2,367 deaths from ischemic heart disease (blocked artery), stroke and other cardiovascular problems. The study was published in CMAJ. What the study found "Psychological distress was associated with death from cardiovascular disease, and the relation remained consistent for specific disease outcomes, including ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease," Dr Mark Hamer, of the college department of epidemiology and public health, and his co-authors said in a journal news release. "We saw an association between psychological distress and risk of cerebrovascular disease among our participants, all of whom had been free from cardiovascular disease at baseline. This association was similar in size to the association between psychological distress and ischemic heart disease in the same group." The researchers concluded that questionnaires could help doctors screen their patients for common mental illnesses, which could reduce their risk of death from heart disease and stroke.

On 25th July 2013, KRA team accompanied by GlobalGiving Field Representative- Farley Sawyer made a trip to Matuiku School to find out how they were fairing. When we arrived at Matuiku primary School we knew this was going to be no ordinary visit. The children came rushing out curious to see who had visited them and the beautiful smiles on the children's faces was a clear sign of their excitement. We were first received by the teachers led by the Head teacher who expressed his gratitude for the great support that the school has received through GlobalGiving. He went on to say that every time they see KRA visiting, they are happy because they know that they have brought them good tidings and of course this is all thanks to your kind donations!
The Head teacher informed us that since the project was introduced to the school the children have been working very hard because they now have more time to study and do their revision. He asked us to say hello to the pupils in standard eight and encourage them as they prepare for their final examinations which are set to begin next week. Farley being the guest speaker of the day urged the children to work hard in order to achieve the best in life. In her words," You can become anything you want to become in life if you work hard and study hard." She also enquired from the children whether they were enjoying the water and the new toilets and from their enthusiastic response there is no doubt that the project is the best thing that ever happened to the school. They promised to achieve the best grades to reciprocate your generosity!
Aside from Matuiku Primary School Farley also visited a neighbouring school called Nyonjoro Primary School just to get a feel of KRA activities. The best thing about this school is that before our intervention it was one of the worst performing schools in the area. Parents had started transferring their children to other schools due to its poor performance, lack of water and proper sanitation facilities but since KRA made an entrance to the school Nyonjoro moved from a poor performing school in 2010 to best improved school in 2011 and eventually best performing school in 2012. Enrollement has also gone up and the school now has 276 pupils. The Head teacher of the school showed us the many trophies that the school has been awarded owing to the improved performance. The school has sanitation facilities for boys, girls and teachers; a 72m3 farm pond for vegetable production and a 50m3 water tank that provides water for hand washing, cooking and drinking.
Matuiku Can Make it Too..
Stories like that of Nyonjoro Primary School is a clear reflection of the impact that projects like this can have on the children and an entire community. Here at KRA we believe that through your support Matuiku primary School is also capable of scaling the heights and making us all proud just as Nyonjoro has done. The teachers and pupils are determined to follow the good example that has been set by their neighbouring school. The Head teacher said, "If Nyonjoro made it, Matuiku can make it too!"
KRA is Grateful!
Even as we endeavour to fulfil our mandate as an organization, we are very grateful for all your support that has enabled us to provide clean and safe water for the children and proper sanitation facilities. We are also grateful to the GlobalGiving team for raising this platform and for taking time to visit some of our projects here in Kenya.
We look forward to your continued support and collaboration in this noble course!
We hope that this update finds you well!
A few months have gone by since our last update on Matuiku Primary School Water and Sanitation project and as always we have good news for you! The past few months have been quite exciting and eventful for the children of Matuiku Primary school. One of the donor organizations Water for Life which co-funded part of the project in partnership with Global Giving recently paid a visit to the school. The team was led by Patty Hall; President of Water for Life and accompanied by KRAs Programmes Coordinator and Programmes Officer. The aim of the visit was to find out how the project was fairing since its establishment.
Commonly dubbed- H20 for Life is a non-profit organization designed to create partnerships between schools in the United States and schools in developing countries. Their goal is to partner an individual school in the United States with a school in a developing country that lacks water, sanitation and hygiene education (WASH). Through service learning projects, U.S. schools raise funds to finance WASH projects in developing countries which are implemented with the help of experienced non-governmental organizations (NGOs). For this particular project two U.S schools namely Maple Grove JHS and Tiffany Creek Elementary contributed towards the project.
The 50,000 litre water tank donated by GlobalGiving and H2O for Life is not only ensuring enough provision of clean water for drinking and cooking but has also translated to more study time for the children! The children no longer have to spend hours going to the river to fetch water like they used to do. As stated by Patty Hall in her speech to the children "You can become anyone you want to become in life by working hard, setting high goals and taking education seriously in order to achieve the best." Patty Hall also donated two balls to the school. Her message to the children, "work hard and play hard."
Once again the Head teacher expressed his utmost gratitude to Water for Life and Global Giving for giving Matuiku Primary school a new face by providing them with the best sanitation facilities. In the past the girls were very uncomfortable due to lack of privacy attributed to the old wooden latrines which had spaces between them. Even as the school endeavours to achieve more indeed much has been achieved through your generous donations and the future for the children of Matuiku School is bright as the sky remains the limit. As usual KRA and the entire Matuiku Primary School community acknowledges your support and would like to sincerely thank you for your kindness. You've not only made life at Matuiku Primary School better but have also motivated the children to work hard in their studies-their sole purpose is to give back to their community in future!
Dear Friends and Supporters,
Greetings from Kenya Rainwater Association! It's been a few months since our last update on the GlobalGiving- supported KRA Matuiku Primary School water project. In this update, we are happy to report that the projects have been a great success to the school and the children are especially grateful for your generous donations. Together with this update is a letter from the children and the entire Matuiku community expressing their heartfelt gratitude to you all!
Every drop counts..
The year started on a high note for the children of Matuiku Primary School. Not only did they have new water tank-thanks to your generous donations, the heavy rains that have been pounding most parts of the country have been nothing less than a blessing to the school! The 50,000litre tank that you donated to the school is now filled to the brim, with more than enough water for cleaning, preparing school meals, and hand washing. To the children, the fact that the school has water flowing from the taps seems like a dream. "In the past, the rainy seasons would come and pass without much notice but now we cannot help but celebrate because we know that not a single drop will go to waste- thanks to the water tank that was given to us "- Rosemary Nyambura, pupil at Matuiku Primary School
Our heartfelt gratitude..
Dear friend,
I hope you are fine. We the pupils of Matuiku Primary School would like to thank you so much for all your support in helping us solve the problem of water shortage in our school. Through your generous donation we were able to construct a water tank that can hold 50,000L of water. This has made it possible for us to have access to clean and safe water all season round. We are so grateful for your act of kindness and we hope that you will continue supporting us so that we can make our school a better place!
Parents and teachers
The parents and the teachers also expressed a lot of enthusiasm and commitment towards the success of the project stating that the benefits of the projects have been felt around the community and that more benefits are expected with the new phase of project that intends to establish a farm pond and a vegetable garden for the school.
Approaching the final phase…
As we move towards the final phase of the project which entails establishment of a school vegetable garden and a farm pond to provide water for drip irrigation on the farm, our Matuiku water project still remains active on the GlobalGiving site as we continue to source more funds towards the completion of the project package. By the end of the project the school will have a 50,000litre water tank, a farm pond, a school garden and a VIP latrine block. We therefore request you- our loyal donors and supporters to continue giving towards the project so that we can leave Matuiku School a better place than we found it!
Other updates from KRA!
Besides the Matuiku water project, KRA continues to be on the frontline in ensuring that communities have access to clean and safe water for drinking through promoting rainwater harvesting and management projects across Kenya. This year, we have a project that is being funded by the African Development Bank that is targeting three counties in Kenya and is expected to benefit a minimum of 3000- 5000 people per county. The implementation process is set to begin in June. The New Life Mission water and livelihoods project in Kajiado County is also in its final year. The United States Aid Agency (USAID) is also doing well with 125 out of the targeted 190 farmers' groups benefitting from the project. As usual, we will continue to keep you posted on the progress of our projects throughout the year!
As an organisation, we are always grateful for your continued support and collaboration in helping us achieve our objectives. We thank you all-our supporters and partner organization Water for Life for making a difference -You are changing lives!

Celebrating Buddha's birthday at Yong gungsa temple,Incheon, South Korea
Buddism is one of the fastest growing religions in the world. The followers of the preachings of Lord Buddha range between 300 million or equal to the population of USA or to 1.6 billion a little more than the population of China, roughly equal to 1/7th the population of the world. In a recent visit to South Korea in the aftermath of the young lives lost in sea, I found South Korea to be resilient and getting on with life. It was no surprise that I found Seoul downtown was lit with lanterns on the eve of the birthday of the founder of Buddism on May 14th few centuries before Christ. The following day I visited the Yonggunsa temple, one of the oldest in Korea. This temple nestled in scenic hills a few miles from the Incheon (Seoul) airport is a very calm place with statues of Buddha surrounded by trees and flowering plants and 100s of lanterns to mark the birth anniversary of Buddha. Shown here are images of the temple area that give a very soothing feeling of the times in a place remaining embedded in centuries before our times. My tour guide, who was trained in Alabama, USA for the Korean army was very knowledgeable and was able to converse very well and fill me in on my curiosity about the spiritual nature of a leading industrialized country in the world.
