Pan American Goldfields Ltd Announces Acquisition Of Control Of The Cieneguita Silver & Gold Project
The Letter Agreement: The principal changes under the Letter Agreement, are that the Company's interest in the Cieneguita shall be increased from 40% to 80%, the Company shall direct the preparation of the feasibility study, and the current small-scale mining operation shall cease on December 31 st, 2012.
B. Feasibility Study
The Company plans to promptly commence a feasibility study for the Cieneguita project. The Company and MRT shall be responsible for the cost of the feasibility study on a pro rata basis based on their respective amended ownership percentages of the Cieneguita project. The definitive agreement will provide the terms and conditions relating to submittal, approval by a management committee, performance, and completion of work plans and budgets for the feasibility study.
In the event that either the Company or MRT fail to fund their pro rata portion of the feasibility study or any development expenditure when due, the non-contributing partner will have its ownership interest in the Cieneguita project decreased by one percent (1%) for every $100,000 invested on its behalf by the other partner.C. Reduction of Debt and Purchase of MM Cieneguita Interest The Letter Agreement also provides for Company and MM to enter into agreements to accomplish the following transactions:
- The Company will issue MM 3,333,333 shares of restricted Common Stock in exchange for its 6 % ownership interest in the Cieneguita project (not including the right to receive revenues attributable to 6% of operations on the first 15 meters, if any, through December 31, 2012).
- MM will assume all outstanding debt owed by the Company to Mr. Ayub, MRT and Robert Knight (approximately $490,000).
- In consideration for the debt assumption, MM will receive half of all monthly Net Cash Flows the Company is entitled to receive from the first 15 meters until the sooner of December 31, 2012 or the date on which the aggregate amount of Net Cash Flows from half of the Company's portion so received by MM equals $490,000. After December 31, 2012, MM's percentage interest in the Net Cash Flows is reduced to 0% and the Company's percentage interest is increased to 80%.
- The above mentioned assumption of debt owed by the Company to Mr. Ayub, MRT and Robert Knight will be in full satisfaction including any and all accrued interest with respect to the outstanding debt.
- If the Company places its ownership interest in the Cieneguita project up for sale, MRT must, if directed by the Company, agree to offer to sell its ownership interest to any bona fide third party buyer on the same terms as are being offered by the Company.
- If the Company elects to sell its ownership interest in the Cieneguita project, MRT will be required to sell its ownership interest if offered similar terms based on its pro rata ownership.
- If MRT elects to sell its ownership interest in the Cieneguita project, it must offer the Company a first right to purchase the ownership interest.

3 China Stocks That Beat Estimates
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- China Wind Systems (CWS), Puda Coal (PUDA) and China Biologic Products (CBPO) -- three companies that reported results before market open Monday -- topped analysts' estimates.
China Wind Systems manufactures and sells high-precision forged rolled rings for the wind power and other industries. The company also manufactures and sells textile dyeing and finishing machines in China. The company reported second-quarter earnings of 12 cents per share, beating analysts' estimates of 10 cents per share. Revenues surged 40% year-over-year to $19 million.
Looking forward to fiscal year 2010, the company reaffirmed its revenue guidance in the range of $76.5 to $85 million, while earnings are expected to range between $15.5 million and $16.3 million.
Moreover, the company is in advanced stages of discussions with several wind power component clients to supply shafts and forged products in the second half of 2010. The company believes that the Chinese government's commitment to invest $737.5 billion in new energy would benefit the wind energy sector in China.Puda Coal is a supplier of high-grade metallurgical coking coal to the industrial sector in China. The company reported second-quarter earnings of 36 cents per share, topping analysts' estimates of 24 cents per share. Revenues soared 72% year-over-year to $82.3 million driven by higher sales volume coupled with higher average selling price. During the quarter, gross margins almost doubled to 14.7% from 7.5% a year earlier. Also, the company acquired 100% assets and mining rights of the Da Wa Coal and Guanyao Coal mines in Pinglu County for $42.0 million. China Biologic Products is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the research, development and manufacturing of plasma-based pharmaceutical products in China. The company reported second-quarter earnings of 49 cents per share, topping analysts' estimates of 36 cents per share. Revenues increased 23% year-over-year to $40.9 million. Furthermore, the company reaffirmed its 2010 revenue guidance range of $142 million to $149 million, and adjusted net income range of $34 million to $36 million. Apart from these three companies, eLong (LONG), Perfect World (PWRD), and RINO International (RINO) are expected to report results after market close Monday. eLong is expected to report earnings of 4 cents per share, Perfect World is expected to report earnings of 69 cents per share, and RINO International's earnings are estimated to be 42 cents per share. On Aug. 13, BNP Paribas reiterated a buy rating on Perfect World with price target of $40, while Rodman & Renshaw reiterated a market outperform rating on RINO with price target of $40.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, gum disease has been linked to stroke, premature births and diabetes. Individuals who suffer from this dental problem may find that it is important to seek treatment, as it could lead to the development of other health risks.Recently, a study conducted at the University of Michigan found that a drug which is given to osteoporosis patients may help to heal bone wounds developed by gum disease patients.For the research, patients who had been diagnosed with a chronic form of this dental disease received either periodontal surgery on one part of their mouth or were administered teriparatid, an osteoporosis medication, as well as given vitamin D and calcium supplements.The group which took the supplements had a 29 percent improvement in their bone-level measurements. The individuals who received surgery saw improvements, although these were minimal.Researchers noted that these findings are important and could help many people because gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.There are low-cost ways that individuals can find treatment if they have gum disease. Discount dental plans provide affordable plans for these people.For more information on discount dental plans call 1-888-632-5353.

Kate- it's so true, every baby is so different. Sounds like Teddy is working things out!
Katie- Zaydren does seem to forget he's only 8 months... But he is SO cute I think we'll all forgive him. ;) more pictures this month!!!
Christine- yep, selin's probably gonna be tall considering your and DHs heights! It's just crazy to think Juliette is 20lbs already at 9 months... But the growth generally slows down a bit around 1 anyway right?

Name: Cheryl
SO's Name: Kevin
Baby's/childrens name(s): Lucas & Brycen
How old is/are the LOs: 23 months and almost 1
Any new milestones or fun stories: Brycen is crawling! He has picked up so much since he started working with the physical therapist. Now they are working on him pulling up to a standing position. Lucas is so funny, he copies everything now. If someone farts, he will try and imitate the sound they made with his lips and then laugh like crazy.
Words that you find saying most often to your LO(s): Don't hit the dog/your brother/yourself/me/daddy. No, you don't need to brush your teeth, again.
Favorite part of March: Brycen's birthday, the warmer weather
What's your favorite indoor and outdoor activity? My favorite indoor activity is either reading, or writing. Outdoors would be talking walks, just enjoying nature.
|Thu, 03-08-2012 - 9:47pm
So both kids are in bed sleeping so I thought I would try and catch up with everyone. I am not promising that I will stay caught up, but I will try.
Carly- Lucas doesn't talk much either. And what he does say, nobody really understands him except me and DH.
Sandy- I am glad that David is doing so well with his new daycare. It sounds like she is really teaching him some great things.
Christine- I am sure your first overnight away from Selin will go fine. It is kinda funny that DH is more nervous about it then you are.
Erica- I can't believe that Charlotte is already 8 months old.
Sarah- How is it possible that our babies are almost 1. Someone needs to tell them to stop growing up.
Liz- Haha. Too funny about Peter and the cat food.
Toys in cribs- We never really put any toys in the cribs for either boy. Not because we were worried, I guess I never really thought about it. Lucas does have 2 pillow pets in his crib and B just has his blankies. I agree with the other ladies, when they are old enough/strong enough to move, sit up on their own I think it is fine.
Overnights- Both my boys have Slept over at their Grandparents house. My MIl has had both boys at the same time twice. Brycen was still in a bassinet the first time, so he was younger than 4 months old. I miss them like crazy when they are gone, but it is nice to have some "me" or "us" time.
Andi- That is too cute about the girls having their first fight over a toy. Lucas and Brycen don't really fight over toys, they were fighting over an apple the other day though.
AFM- I will start with Brycen. He is doing so well with his physical therapy. She comes once a week for about 45 minutes. He is really taking off now, as far as crawling goes. He stays up on his knees most of the time, and rarely is on his stomach. So now the next thing they are working on is him pulling himself into a standing position. He has been approved for Occupational Therapy and starts the week of March 19th. Once a week for an hour. When the Occupational Therapist was out at the house for the evaluation, she noticed he was having trouble eating (which is odd to think because he is quite a big boy).But everything she said made sense to me, and at his 1 year checkup at the dr we are going to get a referral to an ENT and he is going to get his frenulum clipped. He is tongue tied and that seems to be holding him back as far as moving on to try table foods, because he can't use his tongue to move the food over to the side of his mouth to chew it the right way, so more times then not he just gags on it.
Lucas is my little ball of fire. He never sits still even for a minute. He is always on the go doing something. He loves having Brycen around to play with, especially now that Brycen is becoming more active and actually playing with him. He is starting to say new words, just in the past week he has started to say thank you. He has discovered the fine art of taking his pants and diaper off while he is supposed to be napping. Yeah, that is fun.....not. I don't think he is quite ready for potty training yet though. This boy loves to brush his teeth. Every time I go to the bathroom he has to come with me and brush his teeth, and if by some chance I don't let him he throws a hit of epic proportions.
We are having a joint birthday party on March 17th for the boys. Brycen turns 1 on March 13th and Lucas turns 2 on April 2nd. We are doing a Cars Theme, because that is what Lucas is obsessed with right now.
There is a slight chance that I might be pregnant. I am not on the pill, nor do we use condoms. We use the pull and pray method. I'll tell you guys what is going on and you can decide if you think I should test or not. I got my last "period" on February 1st. It was on CD 20 so I was really shocked when it came because I had never ever had one that early. It last 3-4 days, wasn't too overly heavy. I haven't had anything since. So now we are on CD 38 and there is no sign of AF at all. I thought it was going to start last night because I had a pantyliner on and there was a hint of pink on it, mixed with CM but I haven't had anything else. So now I don't know. I told DH it was starting last night, so I am sure he will be surprised when I tell him that it didn't. So do you guys think I should test or just wait it out. I have a doctors apt on Wednesday, for a checkup on my migraines so I could see if they could do a test there if I still haven't gotten it. So there is my very long overdue update. Hopefully I will try and keep up with you guys this month.

|Thu, 03-08-2012 - 10:32pm
So great to hear from you and it sounds like both boys are really making huge improvements.
Wow, you are one fertile myrtle mama! I would POAS for sure if your doc can't run the test for you. Is it possible your headaches are due to pgcy?? Please KUP!!
|Fri, 03-09-2012 - 9:05am
Cheryl- I hope you get the answer you want when you test! I'm glad Brycen is doing so well with the physical therapy.
Adrienne- Congrats! That is wonderful news:)
|Fri, 03-09-2012 - 9:17am
|Fri, 03-09-2012 - 11:39am
and now you have in more of a panic... AF is due today and isn't here, my last AF was super light (for me)... and while I know there is no way I got PG this month (DH is having issues with a new med he started) I'm worried about last month, BUT my OB/GYN did reassure me that BFing can still be making my cycles wacky. I have 1 test left at home....

Protein powders: whey or casein?
I am going to try drinking some protein shakes for breakfast to give myself alittle more variety in the mornings.
If you use protein shakes as a meal replacement, do you use whey or casein? From the research I've done, it looks like casein is probably the best option due to it's "staying power." (But some of the things I've read have me alittle confused.)
I believe casien is supposed to have less (or slower) impact on your blood sugar as well.
Good question. I was wondering the same.
I use whey, fwiw. :dunno:
Casien does have a slower impact on blood sugar and digests slower. Normally used as a meal replacement. Whey is digested quickly and is normally used around workout times due to its absorption rates. I like to use a mixture of both....
From what I have read and heard on the 'Poundstone Power' radio show I would do half a scoop of each...
There are blends out there...syntrac matrix is one that contains whey, casein,and egg ptotein
I use whey protein powder for a meal replacement for breakfast fairly often, usually with 3-4 frozen strawberries blended in. I find it very filling as it fills me up for a few hours easily. Everyone's different in that respect though.

by Gene R. Nichol, Boyd Tinsley Distinguished Professor of Law and Director of the Center on Poverty, Work & Opportunity, UNC School of Law. This post is part of our 2013 Constitution Day symposium.
In October, the Roberts Court will hear yet another case designed to allow it to work its unfettered magic on American campaign finance. McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission will consider whether to unleash billions more dollars into the political system. As Ron White would put it, "now there's some good news."
McCutcheon asks, specifically, whether the almost forty-year-old aggregate limit on the amount any contributor can give directly to federal candidates and parties – now set at $123,200 – must fall. In what will likely be the Court's most fateful campaign reform decision since Citizens United, there's little doubt the cap will go. Who could possibly endure a political system that limits a person's direct contributions to a measly one-eighth of a million dollars per cycle?
Having already laid waste to expenditure limitations in Citizens United, McCutcheon will, for the first time, invalidate a federal campaign contribution limit. It won't be the last.
Charles Fried, Ronald Reagan's Solicitor General, has written that the McCutcheon case is "a not very thinly disguised first step to try to get an absolute, anything goes, no limits, regime on campaign contributions." One could quibble, perhaps, with "first step' moniker. But you get the point.
It's hard to believe, to be candid, that the uber-rich have a lot more they want to say politically. But apparently there is a good deal more they seek to buy. And on this potent and democracy-debilitating mission, John Roberts and The Four are just their huckleberry.
One might think the purveyors of cash register politics would be satisfied with a system that allows private equity titans to pay half the income tax rate of fire fighters; gives massive subsidies to corporate farms as it slashes food stamps; and bails out Wall Street while it increases the payroll tax; but not so. More is, after all, better. And all is, apparently, best.

Hi, soon after starting my Lincoln LS Sport the cooling fan runs at high speed and is loud. I replaced the cooling fan as I thought that might be the problem. But the fan still runs at full speed and is loud and very noisey. The temp is the half point on the gauge. I am not rich and I was hoping you might have heard about this from some one else, so I might have a better idea on where to look next. Thanks, Bob

There's probably a relay or maybe 2 relays controlling the fans. If the relays are stuck on, the fans could possibly run with the ignition switched off. there could also be a problem with the control system.
This kind of thing is common enough, it's not unique to Lincolns so use your logic and diagnose the system using a meter or take it to a Lincoln specialist and get a diagnosis and estimate.

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Greg Monroe posted 19 points and 11 rebounds to power 16th-ranked Georgetown to an 83-62 victory over Mount St. Mary's.
Chris Wright added 18 points, while Julian Vaughn had 14 points and eight boards for the Hoyas (5-0), who were coming off a 33-point rout of Lafayette Saturday. Aside from a one-point win over Temple, all of Georgetown's victories this season have been by at least 16 points.
"I think Julian was very good in terms of his presence on the court, being on the boards, being on the defensive end," said Hoyas coach John Thompson III. "I think he was very effective."
Jason Clark scored 12 and had four steals for the Hoyas, who went 17-of-32 from the field in the first half to gain a double-digit lead at the break.
Jean Cajou scored 16 and Tayvon Jackson added 11 for the Mountaineers (3-3), who shot 41.5 percent from the floor.
"Their size was able to bother us sometimes on the open looks that we had inside and they were still able to contest some of the shots that we had from the perimeter," said Mount St. Mary's coach Milan Brown.
Wright had 11 of his points in the opening half, but the Mountaineers kept it close midway through the stanza. Jackson's jumper had Mount St. Mary's within 24-21, but Monroe countered with a trey and Vaughn hit a jumper for an eight- point margin.
Wright's three-ball boosted the lead to 40-26, but Cajou came back with an ensuing shot from beyond the arc to close the half.
A layup from Wright moved the margin to 20 points at 51-31 with under 16 minutes remaining. The Hoyas led by double-digits the rest of the game.

Are you a community leader trying to find the resources to address local needs? An entrepreneur with an innovative idea that will change lives? Here is a guide to help get you started at finding and pursuing funding opportunities in the field of international development and women's empowerment.
Fundraising is important for enabling your organization to achieve its mission. It also is a way to develop a strong network of people and organizations that support your work. I have put together this guide to finding the right funding opportunities in an effort to support our community members bring to life the brilliant ideas you have to make your communities, and the world, a better place. Please feel free to share your own thoughts, questions, best practices in a comment below. I hope it's helpful!
The guide consists of the following sections:
I. Looking for the right Funding Opportunities
II. Applying for a Grant
III. Proposal-Writing Tips
IV. Next Steps
V. Key Terms Defined
VI. Additional Resources
VII. Success Stories
I. Looking for the right Funding Opportunities
There are thousands of international organizations, foundations, agencies, and companies that provide funding for grassroots initiatives. The types of funding opportunities they provide vary based on the type of organization and its interests.
1. Develop a Strategy: Before you start fundraising, develop a clear and compelling mission for your work. Know what you want to do and what you need to do it. This will help you develop a funding strategy and identify potential funding sources. It will also help donors decide to fund your work. Ensure ethical fundraising by determining what kinds of funder sources you will and will not accept.
2. Research and Identify Prospective Donors: There are lots of resources out there, and various ways to find them. Foundations, government agencies, private companies, think tanks, and more provide funding from projects, equipment, research, educational development, training, and more. Look for grants specific to your interest. Look locally – network and build relationships in your community to find out what resources are available and engage local partners. Potential funding sources include:
- Individuals/Stakeholders
- Income-generating activities (services, products) and fundraising events.
- Local government agencies, community organizations and charities, non-governmental agencies, businesses, etc.
- International organizations, government aid agencies, multi-lateral agencies, United Nations.
3. Build Relationships: networking and building a relationship with potential partners and donors in your field can help you in many ways: learn about innovations in the field and funding opportunities, get visibility to your own projects, and establish partnerships. You can partner with another organization to jointly pursue a funding opportunity.
4. Get to know the Donor: Donors fund initiatives that have a particular purpose. Do your background research and learn about the organization, what its mission and goals are, and how it works to achieve them. The goals of the funder and the particular grant you are applying for should match those of the project you are seeking funding for.
- Capacity: Does it have the resources available now to help you? Does the dollar amount they typically award match the amount you're looking for?
- Mission: Does your work match their mission and focus?
- Geographic focus: do they fund projects in your area?
5. About the grant: Make sure you are a good fit for the grant. What is it for? How much is it for? How many do they award? What eligibility requirements do they have? When is the application deadline? What criteria is required and desired for applicants and projects prosed? What are the proposal guidelines? Read the information about the grant process carefully.
- If they award $50,000-100,000 and your budget is for $5,000, this may not be a good fit.
6. Past Grantees: Most grant-making organizations have lists of past grantees and projects they have funding displayed publicly on their website. This will help you get an idea of who they typically fund – the kinds of organizations, the kinds of projects.
7. Find a match: Through your research, develop a list of prospective funders that currently have funding available that could support your goals and provides adequate resources for what you need to carry out your project.
8. Questions about the grant process? Contact the grants administrator at the organization you are applying to if you have questions about the grant, the application procedure, etc.
II. Applying for a Grant
Writing successful grants takes meticulous attention to detail, extensive knowledge about the issue being covered, and passion! It is a useful skill honed with practice. We hope this tips will help you write persuasively and with authority to compel a reader to fund your ground-breaking project!
- Do your research: Conduct thorough research for your project beforehand so you can demonstrate in the proposal that you have a comprehensive understanding of the background and context of the issue you intend to address.
- Know your audience: Using the same proposal for different organizations is not a productive tactic. Know your audience, who they are and what they're interested in funding, and tailor your proposal to that.
- Read and follow the directions. Carefully. Make sure you follow all the guidelines and requirements for the grant application/proposal, and address every requirement.
- Talk to the Funder: Sometimes organizations let you contact them and ask questions before applying. This is an opportunity to connect with a person at the organization, confirm they are accepting proposals, and clear up any confusion or doubts about the proposal process.
- LOI or Full Proposal: Find out if you need to submit a letter or intent/inquiry (defined below) or a full proposal first.
III. Proposal-Writing Tips:
- Typical Sections of a Proposal: Most proposal templates include the following sections:
- What, Where, Why, How, Who: It is helpful to answer these questions about your project in the narrative of the proposal. The proposal should be clear, organized, and compelling.
- Who are you: Your organization and team and demonstrate how you are fitted to address this issue and carry out this project. Describe any local partners you have identified to work with you on the project. Be prepared to answer questions about the long-term strategy and sustainability of your organization, its legal status, and the financial stability and management of your organization.
- Writing Style:
- Proofread: Make sure you, and others, read over the final version to check for typos and spelling and grammatical errors.
- Ask for feedback: If you are notified that your application was not selected for the grant, see if you can contact the grant administrator and get some feedback as to what you can do better in the future. This will help you learn from your experiences and improve.
o Executive Summary – short summary of your proposal.
o Vision/Problem statement – the issue you're addressing.
o Description of your organization
o Goals and objectives of your program/project.
o Project description
o Budget (of the project, and maybe of your whole organization)
o Board and Staff list of your organization
o Ask amount: how much of your budget are you asking to be covered by the grant? Many grants only fund 15-40% of your total budget, so be prepared with other income sources and do not ask for the whole budget.
o What is the problem/issue you intend to address?
o Where is the location of the project?
o Who are the stakeholders, who does the project target, benefit. Demonstrate local support for your work.
o How will your project address this issue, achieve its goals, and create a sustainable solution.
o Why is it important, what is the expected impact and significance of this project. Be persuasive - show why you're passionate about it, and make the reader feel the same!
o Make sure you include your contact information in the proposal.
o Prove that you are capable of managing the funds responsibly and efficiently.
o Be careful about adjectives, you have to back them up with proof.
o Be concise and straightforward. The reviewer's time is limited.
o Use the active voice, rather than passive.
o Don't use "I" or "We" when talking about your organization - be formal and professional.
o Make them as excited about your project as possible, while being clear and concise.
o Define any acronyms or technical language used in the proposal.
IV. Next Steps:
a. You've been funded! What's next?
- Send a thank you letter immediately
- Mark your calendar with any reporting deadlines, and review what you need to track over the period.
- Sign the contract (and keep a copy).
- Include the funder on invitations to events.
- List the funder in programs/credits.
- Track your expenses, impact, results.
b. If you don't get funding, what's next?
- If it's a good match, don't be afraid to apply again.
- You can use the material you prepared for the proposal for future ones.
- Be aware that some funders don't notify if you at all if your project was not chosen.
- If possible, work on building a relationship with the funder and keeping them informed of your projects and their impact.
V. Key Terms Defined:
- Budget narrative: explains the budget. Explanations can include the derivation of amounts (for example, a $1,250 budget item derives from 100 people at five meetings each using a $2.50 expendable item), the itemization of totals, the purpose of purchased supplies and services, and the justification of the size of salaries, fringe benefits, and indirect costs.
- Concept Paper: Potential grantees can submit concept papers that summarize their idea and experience to funders that haven't solicited proposals. Concept paper should roughly outline your organization's project and include all contact information for your organization, projections of the cost of your project including a time frame for estimated completion, and any previous or similar projects you have done in the past that demonstrate experience in delivering economic or humanitarian assistance.
- Cooperative Agreement: An agreement in which the (U.S.) Federal Government provides funding (or other resources), the government plays a substantial role in managing it.
- Cost Sharing: Where the funder and the grantee share the cost of the project.
- Grant: An agreement in which the donor gives money or other resources of value to the grantee for a particular purpose, and the donor does not play a substantial role in then using the money/resources granted.
- Indirect Costs: costs incurred that are not directly tied to a particular activity of the program.
- Letter of Inquiry/Intent: The LOI is usually 2-3 pages long and includes key information to help the funder decide whether your organization meets its criteria for funding.
- Pitch: a short, enthusiastic summary of your organization. You should have it in writing to include in letters, emails and proposals, and be able to deliver it verbally in person or over the phone. It is a quick introduction to your organization, with the goal of getting people interested in what you do and why it's important.
- RFA: Request for Applications for a grant/contract.
- RFP: Request for Proposal for a grant/contract.

This is so helpful, thank you! I recently applied for a grant, though it was pretty specific in that they sent a form which i was to complete with the details, but i guess not all donors/partners do that? And even for corporates its all about making your proposal stand out and relevant, glad to have the subsections noted here. Thanks for the format and i most especially like the section that you have included the 'You've been funded! What next?' Cheers,its a bookmarked page for me!

Just timely
Thanks for the information! It was particularly timely for me to come across this because I was able to share it with a Gender Working Group I'm part of. We are discussing if and how we should have a global training conference on gender and peacebuilding. I should also mention that I took the opportunity to introduce and promote World Pulse as one of my favorite networks. :) By promoting World Pulse, and by taking more opportunities to share with the GWG all the cool stuff on this network, I hope to be able to 'revive' the communication and experience sharing within the GWG. So, thanks again!
Hi Breese Thanks for the

Resource for Fundraising for Human Rights
I just found this resource online, which has some valuable information on fundraising as human rights defenders:
Fundraising for Human Rights: Lessons-learned and practical advice
I hope it's helpful!
Good advice
When I awarded business grants I received a lot of applications that were full of poor grammar or too little information. I definitely recommend following the advice in this article. Pay attention to details and make sure you are applying for a grant that matches your needs. Otherwise you are wasting your time and the person or organization offering the grant.
When I reviewed the good applications I looked for two main things. First it was someone who knew what they were going to do with the money. Second it was someone who showed initiative and a willingness to do the hard work.

Sitting here pinioned between the photon-cannon brains and futurey salesmanship of Rahul and Jiggity, I realize there's something that makes me simultaneously excited and agitated. It is an unfamiliar sensation: optimism. Jiggity knows. Rahul knows. Everyone at YC knows. The world belongs to them. You can hardly be alive in 2010 and not know that. You can't know what Facebook is without knowing that. This—Silicon Valley in general and YC more specifically—might be the last place in America where people are this optimistic. The last place in America where people aren't longing for a vague past when we were the shit.
Let's Scale Ourselves!
"So who am I?" Rahul says. "I'm a computer scientist. I've never had a real job. I've known since I was 15 years old that what I wanted to do was start and grow a software company. And I've been doing that since college. In 2006, I started a Ph.D. at Cambridge, because I had this crazy delusion that doing that was a really good way to start a technology company. I quit one and a half years ago. Then I ran the part of [Cambridge] that helps staff and students start businesses. And I ran that so well and we raised so much money that I could pay myself to do it full-time. One of the things I'm reasonably good at is sales and raising money. Shortly after that, we started Rapportive."
Rahul projects like he's a speaker at a TED conference, with a ton of enthusiasm and, more important, human accessibility. This is part of the program in Silicon Valley—being a person. There's a real cultural aversion to putting on airs, a premium on "exposing" yourself as a human being. Here, the rich and powerful all wear jeans and T-shirts with geeky phrases on them. The offices, even of companies worth millions or billions of dollars, can feel like underfunded start-ups. At thingy headquarters there are often no private offices, only big open rooms with tables and chairs. Mark Zuckerberg, the prime avatar of this generation, doesn't even have a private office. It's the cultural antithesis of the power centers of New York City, where you put on a costume that obscures the idea that you're a regular person. If you're wearing a costume in Silicon Valley start-up world, it's the costume of a genius living on ramen who doesn't care about money (Zuckerberg doesn't appear to spend any of his money), a person so enthralled with thingies that he has abandoned whatever high-status position he had before to build them. (This is part of the required narrative: To make your thingy, you have to quit something impressive, like Cambridge or Google or McKinsey & Co.)
Rapportive, Rahul explains, is an application that inserts the social layer into every e-mail you receive. "Imagine if, whenever anybody e-mailed you, you could open the e-mail and instantly see their photograph, their occupation—what they do, their recent tweets, their activities on Facebook. Let me show you what that would look like." Rahul opens up a message on Gmail, and on the right flank, instead of ads, you can see data from Rapportive: a photograph of the sender and a summary of information about him from whatever social-media platform the sender uses—LinkedIn, Mixcloud, etc. "We just raised a million dollars to build that."
I ask him why one would want all that information about whoever happens to e-mail you. "Lots of reasons," he says. "Imagine you want to hire someone: I've had a number of e-mails from people saying, 'It's very interesting looking at the social lives of people who are applying for jobs.' Because seeing someone's recent tweets is actually more valuable than reading someone's résumé. So that's the new economy. That's the new world of personal interactions. And Rapportive exposes that, and we believe in it."
How do you get all that information about people?
"We're all spewing a lot of information out into the Web; some of us know about it and some of us don't. Rapportive is collecting all of that and putting it into one place. We're very careful not to find anything that you couldn't find in half an hour of Googling. We just save you that half an hour."
I still have an embarrassingly antiquated idea of what people mean by "privacy" when they complain about, say, Facebook. To me the danger is basically some Russian guy who steals my credit card number. Or Google knowing my porn predilections. Both of those things are certainly happening. But the "private" stuff that's most likely to get you into trouble is the information you willingly share—semipublic stuff provided by you that can become known by audiences you don't anticipate. My reflexive response to that privacy fear would be to pull all data whatsoever from the public sphere—erase my Facebook account, stop with the Twitter. People like Rahul have the opposite solution: Flood the social layer with information you want out there about yourself.
(If you're confused by the term social layer, think of the word layer as meaning "lens." The social layer is one lens you can look through to see the content of the Internet. Who you're connected to, what they're connected to, what they like and don't like.)
"More and more people are going to have careers where they move from one thing to another fairly publicly," Rahul says. "And what people are really investing in is your track record. Your brand. What you do and what you say and what you think are just as important as your skills. Specifically for me, for our company, it's very important for me to be known, to have credibility, and to have opinions."

Since Fede was 2 months I've been taking the minipill as BC. Since I was so paranoid we also used condoms most of the times.
Well, last wednesday I finished my last pack of BC and had to buy another one. Well, it was a very busy day, and I totally forgot. And next day too, and again on saturday! Last night was sunday, and it was hard to find an open drugstore.
So now I've been 4 days in a row without the pill, and I'm wondering if I should start again, or just drop it. What would you do?
(We are fine with the risk of condoms. I feel like I'm out of the "danger zone". That is, if by any chance a condom failed and I get pregnant, I would be mnostly allright with it.)

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
Uncle Luke, the man whose booty-shaking madness once made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech, gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. Up this week, Luke makes the case for legalizing marijuana across the nation, beginning in Miami-Dade County.
Off the bat, I am not a weed head. I don't burn blunts, and I don't hit the vaporizer. Never ate a pot brownie or any other ganja-flavored food. The first time I smoked a joint, I was probably 16 years old, when I was attending Miami Beach Senior High School. I didn't particularly like it. I didn't like the fact that I would just be sitting there stoned. I want to feel alert. But I believe legalizing marijuana would help the economic problems in this country, especially South Florida.
You have to look at it from a business standpoint. Miami is already a gateway for drug smuggling. Back in the '80s, it was drug money that stimulated the local economy. Drug money is what built up Miami's real estate market. We don't have any major industries, but we definitely have the infrastructure and the people needed to capitalize on marijuana in place. You already have marijuana coming through the Port of Miami from Jamaica and the islands. And then you have the locally grown weed. Last year, cops found more than 1,000 grow houses in the state, a spike of 50 percent since 2006. Pretty soon, we'll have more people growing marijuana trees than folks growing avocado and orange trees.
But now the state legislature is cracking down on marijuana with a bill that would make it harder for head shops to stay in business. Florida's elected leaders need to figure out fast that prohibition of marijuana is not working. So why not make money off it? Florida would become the richest state in the union.
The city and the state can tax growers and charge fees to obtain licenses to open marijuana coffee bars like they have in Amsterdam. You would have spots where you can walk in and buy weed from California, Hawaii, Jamaica, or even Haiti. They wouldn't need any more donations to help the rebuilding effort.
We would be creating new jobs at the Port of Miami and all over the county. Legalizing marijuana would also boost the tourism industry because more people would come to Miami to bake under the sun while getting baked on our local kush. Before you know it, the state would be flooded with businesses catering to marijuana users. You would be able to walk right in, sit at a computer, order a joint, and fire it up.
President Obama can keep talking about creating jobs until he is sore in the mouth; however, I don't see how that is going to happen in today's world. We are a computerized country, and computers have eliminated a lot of jobs. Automated kiosks have replaced customer service representatives at airline ticket counters. MP3 downloads and iTunes killed record stores. I don't see how you can create jobs without legalizing something that can get people working really quickly.
Of course, there have to be some regulations — like you can't sell liquor and weed at the same spot, and you can't sell to anybody under 18. Let's go get that money.

Over the last few weeks we picked up quite a few FREE cans of Herdez Salsa after coupons – if you have this sitting in your cabinet pull it out. I was thinking of a great way to put it to use this weekend, and something that I could incorporate my crock pot into….. I think I found the perfect recipe.
We always seem to have a can or two of beans in the cabinet, and this week, Sour Cream is on sale at Fry's (the store brand) for $1.00 – what better way to combine forces and make something easy.
You won't need a ton of time to make this – and it's so easy even your older children could put it together.

After a visit from the Smartboard training guy during yesterdays INSET, the staff have now got running DvDs in windows media player (rather than seperate dvd software) on their mind. Thanks Mr Smartboard man
Anyone know of any decent free codecs for WMP for dvd?
We use VLC as it has all the necessary codec for pretty much everything.
Other Windows codec packs are here:
Thanks for the replies, will give those a go and see which runs in windows media player the best
Hello All,
You could try Dscaler This installs the correct codecs to play DVD's In WMP.
Only Works with WMP10 tho.
We use it everywhere here. And best of all it's FREE!!
Download Media Player Classic

Who would have guessed the free software works better then the stuff you have to pay for?
I love VLC so much.
Beware with VLC, it uses libdecss, it's actually illegal to use it.
You are kidding me? I had no idea. Thats something they don't brag about, haha.Originally Posted by Geoff
TBH I think our NM should be more worried about the unlicensed copies of office/windows we have in school, plus the staff mp3 collection sitting on our servers for 'educational use'3.3.
Is libdvdcss legal?
The use and distribution of the libdvdcss library is controversial in a few countries such as the United States because of a law called the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act). If you are unsure about the legality of using and distributing this library in your country, please consult your lawyer.
Beware: VLC media player binaries are distributed with the libdvdcss library included.
libdecss is a DRM civcumvention technology therefore illegal under the European Union Copyright Directive. This has been incorperated into UK law as the Copyrights, Designs and Patents Act 2003 (Ammended). Under the law it's a criminal offence to create, distribute, use or tell someone else how to create, use or obtain such a device or technology. Punishable by a maximum of a 10 year prison sentence and an unlimited fine per offence.
doesn't seem to apply in france by all accounts.
Sounds a step to far IMO - I can only watch my own DVD's if I buy software to watch them and a new operating system.
See you in court CyberNerd.
Been giving this a lot of thought today and I don't believe that any problems would arise by installing it...Originally Posted by Geoff
If the government do decide to directly answer the question as to whether it is really legal or not (there is still a lot of debate and confusion) then they will take videolan to court (if it is illegal) as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of people in England/America that use it. They haven't even done this though, so I doubt they will penalise the users.
I think it's one of these things that isn't worth worrying about (such as temporarily using adaware to remove spyware off a school PC, BartPE and the tools that come with it, a BootCD etc.)
There is another codec package or something from sourceforge but will have to di it out later on.
