The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (HCERA), contained provisions to increase access to health insurance coverage through: health insurance market reforms; an expansion of Medicaid eligibility; and the creation of health insurance exchanges to provide small employers and individuals access to coverage. In addition, PPACA contained provisions designed to improve the quality of health care, reduce expenditures, and provide incentives for preventive and primary care. To help implement PPACA, federal departments and agencies awarded contracts, including contracts for consulting services. Contractors and consultants perform a variety of tasks, including research, market reviews, actuarial support, logistics and technical support, data management, and information technology support. As required by the Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, this report provides information on contracts awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other federal departments and agencies related to authority provided by PPACA, including information on firms retained to facilitate contracting and consultants retained by HHS and other federal departments and agencies to assist in PPACA implementation.
This report provides information on contracts awarded (including to consultants) by HHS to help implement PPACA. We identified one consultant in our review retained by HHS's Assistant Secretary for Administration. This report provides similar information for contracts awarded by the Department of Labor, the Department of the Treasury, and OPM, respectively. We did not find that the Department of Labor, the Department of the Treasury, or OPM had retained any consultants. In addition, no firms were retained by HHS, the Department of Labor, the Department of the Treasury, or OPM to facilitate contracting.

The Recording Academy Remembers Robin Williams
As BWW reported earlier this evening, comedian and Academy Award-winning actor Robin Williams died this morning, August 11, 2014, of an apparent suicide. He was 63.
The Recording Academy's President and CEO Neil Portnow just released the following statement on Williams' death:
"Five-time GRAMMY winner Robin Williams was a prolific actor and stand-up comedian who literally did it all: television, film, theater, and live performances. After gaining fame in his breakout role of Mork in the television show "Mork & Mindy," Williams became a household name. His improvisational skills and comedic timing were unmatched, and he quickly established himself as a larger-than-life presence on screen and on stage. His roles in classic movies such as Mrs. Doubtfire, The Birdcage, and Jumanji showcased his comedic chops, while his versatility was reflected in dramatic films such as Dead Poets Society, The Fisher King, and Good Will Hunting, which earned him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Although Williams is most recognized for his film and television work, he has received GRAMMYs for Best Comedy Recording three times, Best Recording for Children, and Best Spoken Comedy Album. Additionally, his heart matched his expansive talent, as he often gave generously - both financially and personally - to a number of worthwhile causes throughout his life. Our entertainment community has lost an immense talent, a true inspiration, and a creative genius, and his remarkable legacy will forever be Immortalized in his vast and impressive body of work. Our sincerest condolences go out to his family, friends, and his countless fans around the world who will continue to honor his memory through laughter."

Colorado can't hold lead at home; Portland earns the draw
Mar 30, 2013, 8:59 PM EST
For Colorado, March and April are all about holding serve.
It's about gathering a few points here and there while waiting for their team to return. Five starters remain unavailable, mostly due to injuries – some of which are long-term.
So it's really about getting points at home when opportunities call, and a Portland side that's yet to fully gain its feet under new manager Caleb Porter definitely qualifies as a place where points at home can be had.
Throw in a two-goal lead, and manager Oscar Pareja will be the first to say that such a thing cannot happen. Not a Dicks Sporting Goods Park.
"Such a thing" is a 2-2 draw. Credit Portland for rallying on the road to split the points through a pair of second-half goals. But one was on a silly penalty kick conceded by Colorado's Atiba Harris and another was on an uncontested header.
Then, for the last 15 minutes, when the home team should have pressing into the opposition end for a goal-ahead goal, the Rapids' midfield possession was an absolute disaster, wrought with one turnover in the central third after another.
So the Rapids wasted a wonder strike from rookie Dillon Powers, the team's first-round draft choice out of Notre Dame.
(MORE: Watch a great goal from a promising rookie)
The result: Pareja's team is winless in its first five this year, including its first two contests at home. Even with a depleted roster, they absolutely must grab a win here and there. Otherwise, they'll be too far behind when Pablo Mastroeni, Martin Rivero, Jaime Castrillon, Drew Moor and Matt Pickens are back in service.
Here are Saturday's highlights from DSG Park (forever to be known as the venue for last week's SnowClasico.).
- valiantdraws - Mar 31, 2013 at 1:50 AM
Jesus, that is one of the more embarrassing crowds I've seen. Colorado should be ashamed of themselves. Can we please do something about Colorado, Chivas USA, Dallas, Revolution, Columbus, etc? Something has to be done.

Dutch develop world's largest touchscreen
Behold the largest touchscreen the world has ever seen, probably. Here's a video of it in action. To create the "Reality Touch Theatre", engineers from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands combined 16 infrared lights and six cameras, along with the 3mm thick, 10 x 2.8m curved acrylic screen, which is the key …
All very good....
...but can I get Angry Birds on it?
Oh I see
So this is the new "but does it play Crysis?"?
Angry Birds...
Umm... yes, you could.
I use the PC version with my ASUS touch screen all the time. And that giant screen is compatible with the standard multi-touch interface in Vista & 7
Now to get them to show a video of Angry Birds in action ;P
Thing is
They should focus on getting Angry Birds out on Steam and other platforms, and probably a ReplayGem CD, first. Intel's AppUp isn't reaching the very country they manufacture their CPUs in. And I want my PC Angry Birds fix!
Head, meet wall.
Minority Report
Hey! Tom: we've finally got your wavy-hand interface working! All we need now is a police state and thought crime. Oh, hold on... ;-)
as long as you dont mind ...
huge adverts along the top
Just think of the p()rn you can see on this thing.
I forsee a problem in the classroom.
There are no chalks, pens or erasors to throw at innatentive students.
In Uni
The big college classes where students(N=700), it was too large to effectively aim a piece of chalk, and sometimes the inattentive students outnumbered the available pieces of chalk 50:1
A professor of mine solved said problem by showing (on a roughly 2~3 meter screen) a close-up of an injection needle being injected in a human eye. Maybe it was just imagination, but I saw Real Fear in that eye.
As sound effect behind it, the screaming brakes of a cargo train making a full emergency stop. You think 'nails on chalkboard' is bad?
Suffice, it was quite efficient in getting our attention...
Really, all you need is a .gif, an mp3 and a few lines of code to tie it together as an app. Call it iScream and you can sell it in the app store for $1,99
Oh really?
"The screen was developed, the boffins say, to aid research into geographic information systems,"
...yeah, because the same old computer displays just aren't working, any more, for GIS development. :cough:
Pardon me, I am almost jealous, except for how it looks like such extreme overkill. These days, I can only imagine it devolving into a new form of advertising technology.
I'm skeptical about it, to say the least.
@Mike 68
Are you talking about the popular game or some weird porn fetish?
*ahem* chuck us me coat
Somebody has to say...
Imagine the interactive p0rn possibilities
Why the 60 odd seconds of silent, blackness at the end? A demonstration of how it feels to be in the void perhaps?
I do agree on the matter of interactive porn.
Paris because there's a video of her somewhere, allegedly.
I think all this larger and larger TV, willy-waving is all too much, but this actually looks a damn good laugh, especially the paint package they briefly showed.
That's neat
But the sight of that man with a ponytail really gets me so I can't enjoy it.
Video Editing Fail
From a bunch of video boffins.

A unified model for 3-D object scattering and reverberation that takes into account the coupling between propagation and scattering in a stratified medium is developed from wave theory. The conditions necessary for scattering in a waveguide to become diffuse is derived directly from Green's Theorem. Simulations with the unified model indicate that the detection of submerged target echoes above diffuse seafloor reverberation is highly dependent upon waveguide properties, bandwidth, array aperture, measurement geometry, and the scattering properties of the target. Analysis with the unified model shows that it is theoretically plausible for coherent returns from the scattering of evanescent waves by extended but discrete sub-bottom geologic features to stand significantly above diffuse or incoherent returns arising from small-scale roughness of the waveguide boundaries. A long-range bistatic sonar system was deployed in a field experiment and used to image extensive networks of buried river channels and inclined sub-seafloor strata over tens of kilometers in nearreal time. Such a capability is of great advantage in geophysical applications. Since buried river channels are expected to be ubiquitous in continental shelf environments, sub-seafloor geomorphology will play a major role in producing "false alarms" or cluster in long-range sonar systems that search for submerged objects such as underwater vehicles.; (cont.) A generalized extinction theorem for object scattering in a stratified medium is derived that can be applied to detect and classify objects from the total field in the forward scatter direction in a waveguide. Analytic expressions are derived for the attenuation and dispersion in the forward propagated field due to scattering from random surface and volume inhomogeneities in a waveguide. The unified model is applied to show that the active sonar equation is not in general valid for scattering in a waveguide. It is shown that the sonar equation may be made approximately valid in a waveguide by lowering the active frequency of operation sufficiently for the given measurement scenario to simplify analysis for target classification and localization. Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Ocean Engineering, 2002.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 347-354). 2002-01-01T00:00:00Z Premature cleavage of ship plating under reversed bending http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/91344 Premature cleavage of ship plating under reversed bending Muragishi, Osamu, 1961- The objective of the thesis is to develop and apply testing methodology for fracture initiation of actual components of a ship's hull and to provide engineering design data to be used by the industry in predicting the effects of extreme loads such as accidents at sea or earthquakes. Since cleavage is more dangerous than ductile fracture, attention was focused on conditions controlling cleavage fracture. A careful inspection of damaged components of ships and structures damaged in the 1995 Kobe earthquake showed that fracture often initiates in the zones of large bending strains. It was found from the literature that tensile strains resulting from bending alone are not sufficient to cause fracture. A certain amount of reversed strain is needed. Also, temperature is an important parameter of the process. A comprehensive experimental program was undertaken to study the effects of pre-strain, reversed strain, and temperature. A total of 39 bending specimens cut from actual ship plating were tested and on that basis a 3-D failure surface was constructed for the AH36 steel, suitable for practical applications. The failure surface was formed in terms of compressive pre-strain, temperature, and reverse tensile strain. As-rolled plates pre-strained by -0.43 at room temperature with a Charpy 20 J work transition of 6⁰ C, cleaved with very small reversed strain of 0.011 at low service temperatures of-40⁰ C. Machining the surface, as done with conventional test specimens, raised the reversed strain to cleavage to 0.33.; (cont.) Thus, a serious risk is hidden in the use of machined specimens in bending. Effects of other parameters such as aging were also studied on separate types of specimens. In addition, several mechanisms that could be responsible for the initiation of cleavage were identified and discussed in some depth. Because of the complex interaction between these various mechanisms and effects, it is not possible to make fracture prediction based on first principles. This difficulty necessitates conducting experiments on full-scale test specimens on ship plating which was one of the main objectives of the present thesis. In practical terms, the thesis gives a relatively simple method to chose a steel that could withstand anticipated accidental conditions. Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Ocean Engineering, February 2001.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 71-75). 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Experimental investigations and numerical modeling of a mixed flow marine waterjet http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/91343 Experimental investigations and numerical modeling of a mixed flow marine waterjet Kimball, Richard Warren, 1963- Recently, waterjet propulsion has gained great commercial interest as the shipping industry trends toward faster passenger ferries and other fast transport vessels. The work presented in this thesis was part of a larger effort to improve the capabilities and performance of a mixed flow marine waterjet used in such high speed marine applications. An experimental test faciity was constructed and employed in the testing of a mixed flow marine waterjet rotor, stator and housing set. Full description of the facility and waterjet test procedures are discussed. The pumpset was designed using a coupled Lifting Surface/RANS procedure by Taylor et.al.[35] and was built and tested as part of the work presented in this research. Detailed measurements of the pump performance is described including pump curves, tipgap studies, inlet, midstage and outlet velocity and pressure profiles in an axisymmetric inflow. Full accounting for losses including rotor and stator loss profiles as well as a full pumpset energy balance is presented. From the results of the experiment, dominant losses were found near the tip/duct junction casing along with a large and unexpected increase in swirl in this region. Detailed numerical modelling of this pumpset was performed using both a Lifting Surface/RANS procedure and a Lifting Surface/Euler solver. Effects of losses were modelled as well as tipgap effects. Prior work had developed these coupling procedures but the computationally efficient Euler coupling lacked the introduction of loss and drag induced swirl. This loss coupling was added to the model and the analysys results are discussed. Also, a model to align the wakesheet with the local flowfield in the Lifting Surface solver was developed and these results are discussed. Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Ocean Engineering, 2001.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 122-126). 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z

The Black Keys are featured in an encore episode of Austin City Limits (ACL) airing Saturday, December 29th on PBS. The Ohio blues-rock duo are enjoying a victory lap in their road-tested career, recently scoring five 2013 Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year and Best Rock Album for their platinum-selling El Camino, capping off a Stellar year that included headlining music's biggest festivals and playing to sold-out arenas worldwide. The episode, which originally aired in October 2010, is a prescient indicator of things to come as the band bring raw energy and steel-belt grit to tracks from their 2010 breakout album Brothers in their ACL debut.
The Black Keys have spent the better part of a decade building a following through relentless touring and word of mouth to become one of the biggest rock bands of their generation. The duo of guitarist/vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney has come a long way from their 2002 debut, attracting a huge fan base for their blistering live shows. In their ACL debut in Season 36, the pair reach back to their earlier material to kick things off, and proceed to tear through soulful tracks from Brothers, the album that earned them three Grammy Awards in 2011 and made them a favorite with concert-goers. With their charged blues-rock and unapologetic guitar riffs, The Black Keys command the ACL stage in a spectacle of raw-rock grandeur.
"The Black Keys are headlining festivals and arenas these days, but this performance - one of the last shows in the original, historic Austin City Limits studio - captures the essence of what makes their music resonate with so many millions of new fans," says executive producer Terry Lickona. "Little did they know, but the 300 people in the studio were witnessing history, and it's great to be able to re-live that day again!"
The episode also features Sonic Youth, a band that needs no introduction, showcasing the avant-garde rock of their 2010 album The Eternal.

Why turkey has the same name as Turkey
"on the watch," 1590s, from French alerte "vigilant" (17c.), from phrase à l'erte "on the watch," from Italian all'erta "to the height," from erta "lookout, high tower," noun use of fem. of erto, past participle of ergere "raise up," from Latin erigere "raise" (see erect). The adjective is attested from 1610s, the noun from 1803, and the verb from 1868. Related: Alerted; alerting.

WASHINGTON – Washington has found itself in a crisis over the proper relationship between senior civilian and military officials. It's a tension that shows little sign of abating, regardless of how the Syria issue plays out: Underlying forces seem guaranteed to make it worse.
Every administration has its share of disputes with the Pentagon, but when it comes to where and how U.S. armed forces will be used, civil-military relations have not been this tense and precarious since the end of the Cold War. Military officers are increasingly willing to express their personal opinions about interventions, while civilian policymakers are increasingly willing to disregard professional military advice. Worse, a growing number of individuals from both sides seem unaware of the appropriate civilian and military roles and relationships, and their conflicts play out in public more prominently and immediately than ever before.
For example, senior civilian officials have strongly contested Gen. Martin Dempsey's doubts about intervening in the Syrian civil war. The New York Times reported that Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is adamant that he not influence the public debate about whether to strike Syria, but Obama administration civilians and Capitol Hill staffers will tell you that the general has emphasized only the risks and costs associated with intervening. They, meaning the military, just don't want to do it is a common refrain.
The Pentagon has taken to selectively leaking its strong opposition to intervening to journalists and think tank analysts.
These civil-military tensions have also been revealed in reviews of what military responses – if any – were available on the night of the terrorist attacks on the temporary mission facility and CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya.
Despite the military's repeated explanations, policymakers (primarily Republicans) have refused to accept that force could not have been deployed in Benghazi. In May, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said to Charlie Rose: Why is it that the military could not get there until almost 24 hours after the attack? You can get on a Delta flight here at the Dulles Airport outside Washington, D.C. and fly there faster than our military was able to get there. In closed and open sessions, military commanders have described the distance, logistics and force-protection challenges that prevented combat aircraft and special operations forces from deploying. Yet, even as late as last Thursday, House members expressed their disbelief that no military assets could have saved the day.
Duel over expertise
Duke University scholar Peter Feaver has described this civil-military tension as a principal-agent problem, where theoretically only civilian principals have the authority and only military agents have the expertise. Since the Sept.11, 2001, attacks, however, many civilian officials have helped to develop and implement U.S. counterinsurgency and counterterrorism operations around the world. They now believe that they have a clearer and more realistic understanding of what military force can achieve.
Subsequently, my impression is that civilians increasingly think they possess the expertise to assess operational plans and that professional military advice is merely another opinion to consider when evaluating use-of-force options. In effect, civilians have become both principal and agent.
Meanwhile, military officials who might have once refrained from discussing sensitive issues are now more willing to share their opinions. After surviving multiple deployments to combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan, where inadequate political guidance and flawed military strategies hindered U.S. policies, they feel obliged to speak their minds. They also track proposals for using force – via op-eds and blogs – at a much greater level of detail than they did a decade ago. Furthermore, throughout the professional military education system, officers are taught to think critically and divergently, and to candidly express their opinions through their chain of command.
Inevitably, and unfortunately, a greater volume of private military opinions is anonymously spilling into the public sphere. While officers have a constitutional right to express their personal views, they also have a professional obligation to avoid weighing in on political matters. Many officers quoted in news articles and blogs likely have no access to current intelligence assessments or operational plans that are under discussion in National Security Council meetings. Yet these officers start from a default conviction that civilian officials have dangerous and unrealistic expectations of what military power can achieve.
Role of partisanship
This civil-military split is further promoted by the insatiable demand for news. An increasing number of journalists stalk the tunnels under Capitol Hill, where policymakers are happy to expound on sensitive foreign policy issues. Similarly, as a result of embedded reporting from the wars of the past dozen years, journalists have deeper relationships with now-senior military officials than they did in the past, and they can find a senior Pentagon official to condemn White House policy.
The split will likely be deepened by the worsening partisanship in Washington. The impression one gets is that the party out of power no longer perceives the military as a neutral institution, but rather as the uniformed face of the White House it serves. Democrats demonized the military and its operations during the Bush administration. Now, it is Democrats who embrace President Obama's drone strikes and interventions, while Republicans harshly question the expertise and motivations of uniformed officials. The military is supposed to be above partisanship, but Washington might not allow it to be.
What is most dispiriting about the apparent deterioration of civil-military relations is that it is hard to see what would improve the situation. There has been a great deal of analysis of the need for the four armed services to operate more jointly (getting purple) and for the military and civilian agencies to coordinate preventive and stability operations (through a whole of government approach). However, there is little thinking about how senior civilian and military officials should cooperate in the iterative military planning process between the Pentagon and the White House. It is possible disagreements are being left at the Situation Room door, but this is unlikely, since history shows that intense civil-military disputes emerge in public when they have not been resolved in private. And what is in the public domain should disturb any principled civilian or military official.

Financial gaming rank
Financial games
HiLo is a financial game that allows the player to predict if the price of the asset (ect. stock, currency) will close Above or Bellow the current price.
Above (Over) – if believe in increasing or higher prices
If the player think that an asset price will increase from the current level or close over a certain target price at maturity he should buy an "Over"-bet. He will win if the asset closes over the target price on the maturity date. If it closes exactly on his target price he loose his bet.
The greater the increase in the asset price he expect, the higher the target price, and therefore odds, he should choose to make the maximum profit on his bet if his bet becomes a winning bet.
Bellow (Under) – if believe in a decline
If the player believe a asset price will close under a certain target price he should buy an "Under"-bet. He will win if the asset closes below the target price on the maturity date. If it closes exactly on the target price his bet is lost.
There are an equal amount of "Under" bets as "Over" bets, so it is always just as easy to bet on an increase or a decline. The player also have the possibility to protect his stock portfolio by buying "Under"-bets if he believe that the value of the market or a specific asset will decline.
The bets give the player the possibility to benefit from market movements and to make money even during a market decline.
If, for example, Google currently costs 18 USD but he think it will go below 17 USD he can buy an "Under"-bet with a target price as close to the level he believe in as possible.

"I am so thankful that The Almighty gave me the honor of being blind. Now many would say, 'How can he say that?' I can say it because through being blind, I've been blessed with being able to really see people, not for the color of their skin, not for what they wear, not how they looked at me or what impression they had of me, but by the spirit in their hearts." — Stevie Wonder

Broad Street Parkway work to begin in a month in Nashua
According to John Vancor, project manager, construction equipment will likely be on the site of the northern portion of the future roadway by Nov. 1.
"Overall, that is very good news," he added.
Vancor said there are still some unknown issues with the first phase of construction, specifically noting asbestos in the work zone.
"We want that meeting to be as informative as possible," he told the aldermanic Committee on Infrastructure last week.
"I think the neighbors need to know how to protect themselves," she added. Asbestos was previously detected at the former Johns Manville site at 40 Bridge St.
"They want to start on it as soon as possible," Vancor said of R.S. Audley Inc. of Bow. Although the construction contract with R.S. Audley has not yet been officially approved, Vancor expects that to be finalized very soon.

The Seamen's Church Institute of Philadelphia and South Jersey announced that Dennis Rochford and Lisa B. Himber will be honored at its annual Spirit of the Port luncheon March 30. Rochford is president and Himber is vice president of the Maritime Exchange for the Delaware River and Bay, a nonprofit trade association.
This is the first time two people have been honored in the same year, said the Rev. James D. Von Dreele, SCI's executive director and chaplain to the port. "Our selection committee wanted to honor both Dennis and Lisa for their individual work in the maritime community -- Dennis for his long contributions to port development and Lisa for her important role in enhancing port security," Von Dreele said.
The award luncheon activities will begin with a reception at 11:30 a.m. at the Sheet Metal Workers' Hall, 1301 South Columbus Blvd., Philadelphia, PA 19147.
The luncheon will be preceded by a 9 a.m. high-profile forum, also at the Sheet Metal Workers' Hall. It will focus on critical growth opportunities and security issues in the local maritime industry, which includes 31 seaport terminals in Pa. and N.J.

By the grace of Allah (swt) we are once again honoured to be welcoming the blessed days of Dhul Hijjah. As the days of Eid ul Adha fast approach, many of us are preparing to fulfill our Qurbani obligations to Allah (swt). At Muslim Hands we understand the weight of this responsibility and with 20 years of experience, work tirelessly to reach communities in need across 40 countries.
Eid ul Adha should hold the same joy for families in Haiti, Mexico, China, Rwanda and Palestine as it does for us here at home. To help ensure this, our Worldwide Qurbani Service ensures MH teams distribute fresh (not canned) meat to communities – with produce sourced locally to support the economy and help the environment.
This year with Qurbani prices starting from as little as £35 we hope you will help us to ensure that even more families are reached and fed during the days of Eid ul Adha by fulfilling your own Qurbani obligation through Muslim Hands.
In honouring the obligation of Qurbani, we honour ourselves. It is a reminder for those who give and a reminder for those who receive – Allah (swt) rewards all those who sacrifice for His sake. Just as Ibrahim (as) stood over his son ready to sacrifice him for the pleasure of Allah (swt), let us follow in his footsteps for the One most worthy of it – during Qurbani time and every day thereafter.
Extend the blessings of this sacred occasion by helping to provide even more impoverished families around the world with fresh meat.

Above: A woman draws safe water from a Dig-a-Well donated by a Muslim Hands donor.
Mali is a large, land-locked country in Western Africa, two thirds of which is desert. Despite exporting cotton and other resources across Africa and beyond, the country is one of the world's poorest, with as many as 5.6 million people lacking safe water.
In the last five years, Muslim Hands has dug hundreds of Dig-a-Wells serving 25-30 families, helping thousands across Mali access safe drinking water.
This means, villagers like Djibril no longer have to walk in the unbearable heat to collect unsafe water. In his village of Diatoula in the Koulikoro region of western Mali, getting hold of clean water was a gruelling chore.
During the rainy season, villagers collected water from a spring about 10 minutes-walk away. But the spring is small and has to support nearly 2500 people, so there was often a long que and each family collected barely enough water for drinking and cooking.
During the dry season, the spring is no longer an option. Villagers travel along a winding path down to the side of a ravine to the Niger river to collect water. Most women have to take their children with them, often carrying the smallest on their backs.
The trip down takes up to 4 hours, but climbing back up with wet clothes, tired children plus heavy 20-litre containers of water often took several hours. And, worse than the journey itself is the fact that the water they collected is polluted.
Djibril Coulibaly and his wife have 5 children. The family uses only around 10 litres of water per day – less than one percent of the average amount of water a person in the UK uses.
"There wasn't enough water to wash our sweet potatoes so we cooked them in skins and dirt. We didn't wash our eating utensils – just wiped the food off and used them again. We often had diarrhoea and wasted all of our time collecting water.
"Since the Muslim Hands Dig-a-Well this year, we have access to clean water and can spend more of our time farming. We wash our clothes, and our plates and even brush our teeth! We have become clean and healthier."
Djibril Coulibaly, Mali
Across Mali, Muslim Hands Dig-a-Well schemes are helping communities thrive. The community is also involved at every stage of the construction so they are able to maintain and operate the well in the long-term.
Read more about Muslim Hands Dig-a-Well scheme here: http://muslimhands.org.uk/schemes/dig-a-well/
In countries like The Gambia, where employment and jobs are difficult to find it takes a special programme to provide a community with a regular and stable income.
Alhamdulillah, when a generous UK donor funded three honey production kits which included bee hives, uniforms and hive tools to a needy community – known as Timbukto Centre – it was a buzzing opportunity to help an impoverished community to thrive.
The distribution of the kits was attended by the head of the village Mr. Touray, elders and a cross section of community members. Individuals received preliminary training of how to look after and maintain the bee hives and how to harvest the bee hives to obtain honey.
The bee hives will be fully colonised and ready for harvest every three months, insha' Allah. This means the community will have natural organic honey to enjoy amongst themselves and to sell in the local market – generating an income which they will distribute between the local families.
"We thank all of our donors for the timely intervention and gesture." Mr Touray, Head of Timbukto Centre

Early this March, you helped to provide a rare moment of normality for 300 Syrian children in the village of Haas in Idlib Province, as they returned to school – a Muslim Hands Community School.
Schools in Haas were closed more than a year ago as fighting in the region intensified and families fled to nearby refugee camps on the Lebanon and Turkey borders. Hundreds of children from the region were unable to attend school or have any semblance of routine or normality.
A year on, as displaced families began returning back to their damaged homes – in a bid to rebuild their lives – Muslim Hands made it a priority to refurbish a damaged building into a Community School and set up a supportive environment for these beleaguered children.
Fifteen brightly decorated classrooms across three floors, all equipped with desks and chairs now make up the once damaged and derelict building.
Employed by Muslim Hands, 20 Syrian teachers teach a variety of subject according to the national curriculum from English, Maths, Science to History and Recreational Arts to Syrian students aged 5-15 in year groups one to nine; all filling the classrooms with noise, laughter and the sound of learning.
As well as daily classes from 8am – 1 pm the children are provided with food, safe drinking water, school bags and a safe play area. And, with some of the classes taking place underground in the basement level of the building, some of the younger and vulnerable children feel much safe and happier returning to school.
The school has also caused a surge of activity, as many eager families with children from nearby areas routinely wait around the playing area demanding a second set of teaching hours. For five days a week, from the beginning of June between 2pm – 7pm, 300 more Syrian children from the local area will be attending the MH Community School and building better futures for themselves, insha'Allah.
"Muslim Hands is committed to improving the lives of Syria's future generations. Upon listening to the parent's needs and requests it's been decided that the Muslim Hands Community School will be opening in the afternoon too." Tariq Nasir, MH Senior Programmes Manager
Looking ahead
Though much work has been done in Syria we cannot afford to let go of our responsibility towards Syrians.
Our focus now is to set up as many schools as we can for this, we rely on your continued support for the children of Syria: http://muslimhands.org.uk/emergencies/2012/syria-crisis/

In an effort make a difference to the lives of street children, Muslim Hands has sponsored children living on the streets of Pakistan and the Philippines to form youth football teams who have been flown out to the footballing nation of Brazil.
Whilst in the home of football, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, these street children alongside 230 others representing their native countries will be grabbing the global media limelight asserting their right to say "I am Somebody." 9 girls teams and 15 boys teams (aged 14-17) are competing to be proud ambassadors for millions of children back home.
A Muslim Hands team headed by Programmes Manager, Irfan Khan will be heading out to Brazil on Tuesday morning to meet the youth teams and take part in promoting the competition.
Programmes Manager, Irfan Khan said:
"This footballing project is helping to put street children on the map and raise awareness of a global issue which Muslim Hands is very passionate about.
"Football is being used as a means to reach out to these children, enabling them to raise in confidence and leave them feeling inspired."
Whilst in Brazil the children will have a platform to tell their stories through arts and cultural exchanges, and in a special Global Street Child Conference – their first ever by and for street children. This youth participation conference is the only time street children from around the world come together to identify and discuss the issues that affect them most. They will write and deliver the 'Rio Rights Declaration' to governments outlining what needs to be done to help our world's street children.
Arslan Nusrat, Muslim Hands' Partnership Manager believes:
" By joining hands with Street Child United we are campaigning for street children to have a safer future free from fear, free from neglect and free from abuse.."
Muslim Hands wishes all the teams the very best in the competition.
Above: Women line up to be seen by the midwife at the Motherkind Clinic.
Qualified female staff are essential to the running of our Motherkind Clinic in the Puleh Charki District of Afghanistan as many husbands will not permit their wives to use the health facility if staffed by males.
For those that do attend, modesty prevails. For those who are unable to attend due to social restrictions we educate and train local women in the community to help provide women with maternal healthcare on household visits. Alhamdulillah, this has meant approximately 137 women a month are visiting the clinic and benefiting from maternal healthcare. For an area where maternal healthcare was unheard of this is a milestone in reducing maternal deaths.
Please support our Motherkind campaign to continue providing these basic healthcare necessities to women in Afghanistan: http://muslimhands.org.uk/campaigns/2012/motherkind-maternal-health/
Above: Brother Yasrab and brother Taukir from the MH Special Programmes Department collect the Charity of the Year Award on behalf of all at Muslim Hands.
Muslim Hands was awarded Charity of the Year at the British Muslim Awards Ceremony last night. We truly believe this is an award which should be celebrated by all of our wonderful volunteers, budding participants, committed supporters, dedicated donors and staff worldwide.
There's still much to be done to help the poor and needy but by acting together for the needy we can make a difference, insha'Allah.
May Allah (swt) guide us all and enable us to help the poor and needy to the best of our abilities whilst keeping our intentions sincere. May He reward everyone's efforts immensely. Ameen!

Above: The official opening of the Ambulance Aid service in Pakistan.
Muslim Hands has officially launched a first-of-its-kind ambulance service for impoverished people living in the District of Rawalpindi and surrounding areas.
The ambulance service will provide a round the clock pre-hospital emergency transportation service to a region where they are normally inaccessible.
This special project which consists of 20 well-equipped ambulances will drastically improve medical & healthcare services in the area by focusing primarily on accident & emergency situations for e.g, accidents, cardiac arrest, expectant women, neonates and all other emergencies.
Studies have found that patients from remote rural areas who have been referred one of the District of Rawalpindi's four main hospitals are most vulnerable. Unable to access medical transport or pay for a taxi, they rely on charitable bystanders in private cars to reach the hospitals. Often, with no transport available many have no choice but to travel on foot for miles to receive the treatment they require.
Under the current circumstances expectant mothers and young children are especially vulnerable. Their health is often affected due to inaccessible transport which results in their treatment being delayed.
Muslim Hands intends on focusing the service on such people in villages across the District of Rawalpindi to provide an accessible and efficient medical emergency service.
For the ill, sick and injured of Rawalpindi this fleet of 20 ambulances will help save lives, insha'Allah.
Insha'Allah upon the successful completion of this project we would like to extend this service to other areas of the developing world where there exists a need for emergency medical transport.

Shawn Johnson Wins Dancing with the Stars!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Shawn Johnson won four medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics.
So, where does the season eight title on Dancing with the Stars rank on her resume of achievements? Very high, apparently.
"I've loved every second of it," the 17-year-old champ said backstage before she hoisted the disco ball trophy. ""This has been the best experience ever. I've grown so much."
According to host Tom Bergeron "less than 1 percent" separated Johnson from fellow finalist Gilles Marini at the end (Melissa Rycroft was voted out first last night and finished in third place).
"This has been, without a doubt the best season ever," said head judge Len Goodman. "We've got the three best dancers here in the final."
All three finalists performed one last dance - and all three earned a perfect score of 30 from the judges. In the end, though, like any winning gymnast, Johnson vaulted past her competition for the title.
Click on the photos below to relive Shawn and Marks journey on Dancing with the Stars:
The best dancing partners won. Congrats Shawn & Mark.
gilles was robbed! how could a stiff emotionless brick of a girl won it! such an injustice this is to gilles & cheryl! shawn should be thankful to her fans who are kind of ignorant as to what a dancer means lol

Dear Jim,
Frank was born in 1868, yes it could be possible that they were brothers or even a cousin. I know this about Frank: he was born in Germany and entered this country in 1879, port of Baltimore. Do you have any other information on John that might help? I don't know if you know this, Mn Historical Society has digitized the death index. I found a John J who expired 12/11/1912. The only way I could get Hebl to pull up is by using the soundex. Let me know what are your thoughts on this. The key would be finding out how many childern Anna had and when did she enter this country. Nancy

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.
