Follow-Up Postings:
|We have split face travertine mosaic tile in our hall bathroom; accent in (on) the tub surround, and going up the wall over the sink. I sealed it well after it was installed (and I think prior to installation as well) using a solvent-based sealer (from STT--easy to apply, minimal to no odor).
Obviously, the wall over a bathroom sink will not be subjected to the type of messy food splashes that a kitchen backsplash would have to endure. But, I have had to clean off errant spots/blobs of toothpaste on occasion, and they clean off easily (using a dampened or wet microfiber cloth). I think if the tile is sealed well, you shouldn't have a problem. You might need to pay more attention to the nooks, crannies, and crevices while wiping down your backsplash in your higher splatter zones, but despite some possible nay-sayers here, I don't think you have to avoid using this tile.

|I wouldn't do it myself, but it is beautiful!
|We had ours in for a couple if years with no problems, but of course you do have to take more care to avoid really messy splatters. You can always put up a fireproof temporary guard if you planned a messy meal and take down after.
|Not having it anywhere near my cooktop and ovens, I think I will be safe from major messes.
Cat Mom, you don't have any issues with water damage using it in the bathroom? That was another concern, since it will be near my sink. The stones are simply stacked, and not grouted between, right? What keeps water from seeping in?
|I've seen threads on here that some say it should be grouted not sure how, but it is possible. Mine was not grouted and I chose not to seal it. Some seal it, which may help with water.
Mine did not come in contact with any water, although I have seen some photos of people who put it in showers. Brave people, I would hate to clean that or brush my elbow against it, eeeekkkkk!
|Our tile guys smooshed as much unsanded grout between any joints/spaces that would take it. I helped them scrape some grout out of the crevices using the tip of a utility knife blade.
It's in the bathroom DH uses, and I am sure he splashes while washing up to some degree (I see how much water he sloshes around the kitchen sink! LOL). We do wipe the sinktop in the bathroom after use, esp where the tile meets the sink/countertop, so there isn't standing water just sitting there.
I clean our bathrooms weekly for the most part. I spray the tub surround all over with 7th Gen Disinfecting Bathroom Cleaner, and then wipe it down with a microfiber cloth that I also spray with the cleaner as I go. The split face mosaic accent tile is high enough on the wall that it really isn't in direct contact with water spray while showering (no bumped elbows either! :)), nor have I found any soap or shampoo residue on the tile. I just give it a wipe with the cleaner-dampened cloth after spraying it and letting it sit for a few minutes, and it still looks like new (3 years old now?).
|I'm so sorry cat_mom, I meant the whole shower surround completely done with split faced. I think your mosaic accent would be fine in a shower. :)
|Yikes, I was just quoted $1200 in labor to install 46 sq ft of this in my kitchen. Looks like I'm going to have to tackle this install on my own :o
Any advice on cutting for edges and outlets would be greatly appreciated. Since this stuff is on sheets, I don't think I can use a wet saw. I wonder if it would be better to remove individual tiles from sheets to mix and match sizes in those areas?
|My husband installed ours and said it was easy considering he had never installed a backsplash before. He did use a wet saw and said the tile cut easy. Around the outlets he did as you said and removed the individual tiles and cut them to size.
One thing to note is that the tiles were not all straight so sometimes they would leave gaps on the top or bottom of the sheets or between the tiles as you try to fit them together. We played with the layout of the sheets on the floor to see which sheets fit better together to minimize or avoid the gaps before installing on the wall.
|Oh my word. I LOVE this particular split face stone u have posted. By chance do you know the manufacturer and name of it? What did you decide for ur backsplash?
|It's Jeffrey Court "Churchill." I was able to buy it at Home Depot and install ourselves (which turned out to be pretty straight forward).

Lukas Podolski Wants to Win the World Cup for Michael Schumacher
One German sporting legend hopes to win a title for another. According to the Mirror, German forward Lukas Podolski has revealed that he would like to win the World Cup for fellow countryman Michael Schumacher, who has just awoken from a coma after six months in hospital following a horrific skiing accident in the French-alpine town of Meribel in December.
It was announced on Monday afternoon that the 7-time world Formula One champion, was being transferred to a medical facility in Switzerland to begin his long road to recovery.
Podolski, who is a close personal friend of the former F1 driver, speaking last weekend, wished his friend a speedy recovery and said he hoped to honour him by winning the World Cup in Brazil for Germany.
Speaking to Bild, the Arsenal forward said "Michael Schumacher is as crazy about football as we all are."
"Unfortunately he is not doing so well. The DFB (German FA), the team and I continue to wish his family strength. We hope he will be back on his feet soon and eventually he will be able to see one of our matches.
"If we win the World Cup then it is something which could give him some joy."
Podolski and the rest of his German counterparts begin their World Cup campaign with a clash against rivals Portugal on Monday evening.

The emerging pandemic dominated headlines in Mexico. The government is under siege for its slow response. A 5-year-old becomes a media sensation. A U.S. subsidiary is under scrutiny. One-third of the capital's economy vanishes.
Top News: There has only been one story in Mexico at the end of April and most people on the planet know what that is. Swine flu has created panic, a media blitz and fears that it will be the next pandemic holocaust. Sadly, it has killed perhaps as many as 176 in Mexico its first weeks.
The tsunami of media has including excellent, terrible and many sensationalist stories from all corners of the world.
Looking at the suffering in hospitals and human tales, a story by veteran Mexico reporter Dudley Althaus best captured the emotions and family spirit. Althaus colorfully describes the scenes outside the National Institute for Respiratory Diseases where many swine flu victims suffered and died.
He vividly describes a new patient being brought in: "Here comes another one," someone in the crowd said loudly as a sweating, grunting, 39-year-old man with a nasty cough hobbled into the emergency room, leaning heavily on his wife.
A flimsy surgical mask covering his mouth and nose, Miguel Angel Esquivel crumbled briefly into a plastic chair in the waiting room before being hustled by attendants into an examination room.
"They haven't told me anything yet," his wife, Erika Cruz, said later, saying her husband's pain seemed so sharp, and his health had declined so quickly, that she was all but certain it was the deadly flu.
Also outside the clinics, the Washington Post examines how so many of the victims are otherwise healthy young men in their prime. This puzzling and tragic loss of family breadwinners and heirs is a feature that is rightly compared to the Spanish flu at the end of World War I. That epidemic also fell mostly on young adults, whereas flu epidemics usually attack children, the elderly and the immune-compromised.
The media attention soon spun from Mexico City to the dusty sweltering village of La Gloria in Veracruz, which could have been Ground Zero in the plague. In that hill community, 5-year-old Edgar Hernandez – the earliest known person to have the flu – soon became almost as famous as President Barack Obama. And every journalist seemed to love his interviews (and to get the same quotes). The New York Times had a particularly touching story.
The newspapers also focused on the industrial pig farm nearby La Gloria which villagers claimed was the source of the disease. Pig farm owners Granjas Carroll, a subsidiary of the Virginia-based company Smithfield Foods, were irate about the issue and denied that any of their hogs had ever been sick. The Mexican government supported them, saying the flu had come from Asia.
But the Mexican government itself was under attack. Newspapers highlighted their slowness to react the swine flu outbreak as it grew. Could the government really have done any better? Perhaps time will tell.
Money: If Mexico's economy already had a cold from the recession then swine flu has given it … well, the flu – and hit it over the head with a shovel. Businesses were shut, tourists poured out of the country and the stock market and peso crashed in the first days of the epidemic. Mexico City's Chamber of Commerce said the closures and cancellations were costing 777 million pesos ($57 million) a day in the capital city alone – more than a third of the local economy.
Another casualty of the disease has been entertainment. First the government shut all the bars and discos, then the sports teams played to empty seats and finally restaurants were only allowed to sell takeaway food. A good night out in Mexico now? Sitting inside and watching the news about the latest swine flu developments.

Chile Port Strikes Block Copper, Fruit Exports
"This can mean bankruptcy for many of them," Agriculture Minister Luis Mayol said in a joint press conference with the finance minister on Thursday.
Unionists at the Angamos port said in a statement that the stoppage is due to "labor neglect" by Ultraport, a company that specializes in freight handling and management at 20 Chilean ports.
Meanwhile, companies are running out of space to store cargo and fruit could start to rot with no end in sight for the lingering strikes.
Ronald Bown, the president of Chile's Export Association, told local radio Thursday that growers will temporarily stop harvesting in the central-south region Friday because there's no more space to store fruit."This is affecting medium and small-scale farmers," Bown said. "Many of them have their future on the line this season." Fruit trade group Fedefruta said 1,600 containers are grounded at the San Antonio port. The company losses there total about $50 million up to now but could rise to $400 million if the stoppage continues throughout April. "The year's work of more than 30,000 growers is being lost in a few days," said Fedefruta President Cristian Allendes. Several timber companies have also suspended shipments. Analysts and government officials fear the strike could dent Chile's image as a stable economy with a productive workforce that takes pride in meeting its obligations. "It's not only these jobs that are directly in danger," Lavin said. "But future investment in the exporting sector and also meeting supplies abroad because the ships are paralyzed." __ Luis Andres Henao on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LuisAndresHenao

It wasn't pretty, but the 1-1 tie with England meant the world to Americans.
BOSTON — It is a famous maxim of American football that "a tie is like kissing your sister." But in the rest of the world's game of football, a tie — or a draw as they call it — can be something far, far better, and even beautiful.
And in South Africa on Saturday, the U.S. opened its World Cup 2010 campaign with a 1-1 draw against England, a tie that, for the underdog Americans, was even better than kissing Angelina Jolie (or, if you prefer, Brad Pitt).
Read all of GlobalPost's World Cup 2010 coverage
The happy result against the favored English, 8th-ranked in the world, put the American team in good position to advance out of the first round for the first time since the 2002 World Cup.
Meanwhile, for England, a nation convinced that this team represented its best chance for a World Cup crown since its lone victory back in 1966, it represented a major embarrassment. While England remains likely to advance, it certainly didn't appear championship-caliber.
Moreover, its superstar striker, Wayne Rooney, was largely stifled by a defense that is considered the U.S. team's Achilles heel; suffice it to say that English babies born in the next few days are unlikely to be named Wayne and a knighthood is not yet in the offing.
|Read more GlobalPost World Cup Coverage
Before the game, much was made of how the Brazilian officiating team had been schooled in English obscenities, a potential American advantage given that Rooney has a tendency toward tantrum not to mention some choice verbal abuse for referees. But the first four-letter-word of the evening came out of mouths of the Americans, most visibly from goalkeeper Tim Howard, when his central defense pulled a disappearing act and England converted an easy goal in just the fourth minute of the game.
But by far the biggest obscenity was committed by English goalkeeper, Robert Green, when, late in the first half, he let a soft shot by American midfielder Clint Dempsey bounce through his arms and dribble into his net. It would be hard to imagine both the breadth and volume — "howler" was the Mirror's choice, the Guardian went with "calamitous" — of the reaction in English homes and pubs. I am convinced that all the way across the pond, I could hear the word "wanker" echo like thunder from the heavens.

by Christine Ennulat, ChildFund International
Liberia's 13 years of civil war ended in 2003. Nine years later the effects of war linger. In post-conflict societies, children are the ones who suffer the most as their parents struggle to rebuild shattered homes and livelihoods. Often, children come to be viewed as burdens, or even commodities. They became at risk for exploitative child labor, domestic violence and other abuses.
Healing has been slow. Liberia's Poverty Reduction Strategy of 2008 includes a statement that speaks volumes: "A whole generation of Liberians has spent more time at war than in the classroom."
Some years after ChildFund began work in Liberia in 2003, staff began to realize that, despite the ongoing rebuilding of Liberia's decimated education system, young children ages 5 to 8 were not enrolling at the rate they should, and those who did were not staying in school.
In May 2010, ChildFund began a program called Participatory Research and Learning (PARLER) to identify the obstacles to school attendance in 25 communities and try to remove them. The program is funded by the Union de Banques Suisses.
The centerpiece of PARLER is training older teens to facilitate participatory exercises (e.g., fun, animated games) with 5- to 8-year-olds to learn what keeps them from school. The exercises help children identify problems in their communities, prioritize them, analyze solutions and plan for the future.
Martin Hayes, ChildFund's child protection specialist who helped launch the program, says, "In the long run, this helps build skills and leadership of the youth." And it inspires older children to look out for the younger ones.
What kept the younger children from school, the youth learned, included bullying and harsh corporal punishment in the classroom. Girls faced the additional obstacle of parents keeping them home to do housework or prioritizing their brothers' educations over theirs. Some of the children also would go to the nearby Nigerian peacekeepers' base to beg instead of going to school.
Acting as advocates for the younger children, the youth brought these concerns to special committees focused on children's needs. ChildFund has trained adult members of the committees to respond as appropriate, whether counseling parents or calling in authorities.
By July 2011, according to an external evaluation commissioned by the Bernard Van Leer Foundation, 1,234 5- to 8-year-olds had been involved in PARLER sessions.
School enrolment in PARLER communities is moderately higher than in communities without the program, and retention also is higher. Children from PARLER communities also miss fewer school days and spend less time on household chores or jobs outside the house and more time on homework. In schools connected with the PARLER program, children suffer less corporal punishment; their parents are more likely to discipline their children verbally than physically. Children involved with PARLER even get sick less often.
The gains are modest, but they are consistent across many types of child-protection risks. Again, healing is slow. But this work is moving it forward.
These improvements flow from giving children and youth tools to improve their own lives. "We're providing them with skills to protect themselves," says Hayes, "but also life skills for when they get older."

ChildFund Liberia has received a certificate of appreciation from the Liberian Ministry of Gender and Development's Child Protection Network.
ChildFund was recognized for its moral, technical and financial support of the work of the Senate Committee on Gender Equity and Child Development, the Child Protection Network of Liberia, the Liberia Children's Parliament and for assistance with passage of the Children's Act. Other organizations receiving the Certificate of Appreciation included Save the Children, Plan Liberia and a few local federations.
Following the awards ceremony, ChildFund participated in the Liberia Children's Festival hosted by UNICEF, with support from the Embassy of Egypt. Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who attended the celebration of children's rights, made a special plea to the nation's youth, many of whom remain involved in gangs and violence following years of civil war in the country.
"Once you make up your minds to leave those bad things," she said, "we, too, will be willing to help. The future is in your hands. Those of you who want to go to school, we as a government will send you to school."
President Sirleaf also visited the information booths set up at the festival by ChildFund and other agencies providing assistance to children in Liberia. At ChildFund's booth, the president met with George D. Toe, community services worker, who provided an overview of ChildFund's services.

Over the course of January's 31 days, we're making a blog stop in each country where we serve children, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and donors. Today we travel to Liberia, where TOMS just gave new shoes to children in a ChildFund-supported community.
The west African nation of Liberia is struggling to rebuild after 14 years of civil war. Still dependent on foreign aid, Liberia has the third highest unemployment rate in the world. Infant mortality rates are also high, and many children suffer from malnutrition, which can have life-long impact.
Although the civil war ended in 2003, it took a heavy toll on the education sector. School enrollment and retention rates are low. One reason for this is that students are required to wear uniforms and shoes to school. Without shoes, they can't attend. A lack of shoes also means children's feet are exposed to diseases, infections and cuts.
Earlier this month, ChildFund and TOMS delivered new shoes to three Liberian communities. The shoes were provided by TOMS. Its One for One™ program gives a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair of shoes sold. And TOMS plans to send shoes for the children not just one time but repeatedly, as they grow.
The day was truly amazing! As ChildFund and TOMS staff approached our first destination for shoe distribution – Bopolu Central High School – we could barely contain our excitement.
Children were lined up as far as the eye could see. Local education officers and representatives from the Liberian government were waiting for us to express their appreciation. After a few speeches and a whole lot of thank-you's, we began the fun part – fitting shoes on the feet of eager children.
"I use to wear sandals to school," one child told us. "My friends will not laugh at me again."
With their old shoes in hand and new ones on their feet, children at Bopolu public school did an impromptu "TOMS Walk" in their TOMS shoes.
"I like my shoes. I also like the black color," another child exclaimed. "I used to wear slippers to school. Thanks to TOMS, I got a new pair of shoes."
Parents also voiced their appreciation. "ChildFund is doing a lot for our children. This will help retain our children in schools. Most parents are unable to buy a pair of shoes for their children," one parent told us.
Another parent remembered that ChildFund's President Anne Goddard visited Liberia in February 2011 to inaugurate the school built by ChildFund. "Now they have come with TOMS shoes," he noted.
"This is a boost to our efforts in working with the children of Liberia," said Oliver Fallah, a ChildFund staff member based in Bopolu, a community in Gbarpolu County. "It will help to increase the retention of children in schools. Having shoes from TOMS will also reduce the number of foot diseases children suffer from," he pointed out. "The children sometimes walk to farms, schools and even on playgrounds barefooted. Parents with four, five and six children are unable to pay for copybooks [school workbooks], not to mention a pair of shoes. TOMS came at the right time to the right place."

If ever there was a country ChildFund needed to be in, Liberia is it. Following a brutal 13-year period of civil war that made children into soldiers and destroyed the social fabric of society, Liberia signed a peace treaty in 2003, beginning a long journey of restoration.
Having just returned from a visit to this resilient nation, I found positive signs of progress. In the capital, Monrovia, the story is a hopeful one. Everyone I spoke with believes the country is getting better. People are moving with purpose. They are working to rebuild. They say the most important thing they have is peace.
ChildFund arrived in Liberia two months after the treaty was signed. In those early days, our work focused on reintegrating child soldiers back into their communities. After years of civil war, societal rules fall away — rape and violence against women and children are just accepted as the norm. A generation grows up not knowing any different.
We played a major role in reintegration, and were recognized by UNICEF as number one in child-protection work because of our training of school authorities and police and military leaders — sensitizing them to gender issues and child-protection issues. The Liberian Ministry of Defense now has a child-protection unit. The government now has a Ministry of Gender and Development.
Although ChildFund has finished its reintegration work, Liberia still ranks at 162, just seven from the bottom, on the U.N. Human Development Index, a comparative measure of a country's life expectancy, literacy and living conditions.
Women and children's issues are top of mind for Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberia's president — the first woman leader of an African nation. When I met with the president during my visit, she acknowledged significant progress in the attitude of children — just through the look of hope and inspiration seen on their faces. The president has visited ChildFund's early childhood care and development Center in Bopolu — and contributed to fencing around the center to improve safety for children.
The ECD center is managed by the Gbonkuma Women's Group, whose members are also recipients of small loans to start income-generating businesses. Leader Ma Fatu told me that ChildFund Liberia has shifted the lives of many women and children who had no means of improving their lives to self-sustainable levels in their communities. Now this group's mantra is "Women! Don't sit there; do something positive!
I also visited a livelihood project in the Blamacee community near Monrovia. ChildFund Liberia, with the support of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, has built houses for former Sierra Leoneans, who after almost 20 years of refugee status, are now integrating into Liberian society. We've also helped them obtain small plots of land for gardening, which provides a source of food and income.
In Liberia, women are a major driver of positive change. Women are enthusiastic about contributing. There is a feeling of hope; it's a fragile sense of hope, but it's palpable.
Join Anne on International Women's Day for a chat on Facebook, March 8.
Post your questions related to Liberia and women's issues on ChildFund's Facebook wall beginning at 12 noon EST, and Anne will respond live from 12:15 – 12:45 p.m.

ChildFund is among 29 organizations that co-signed a letter to U.S. House leaders expressing grave concerns about proposed reductions in U.S. humanitarian aid.
The bill (H.R.1) would cut global disaster aid by 67 percent, global refugee assistance by 45 percent and global food relief by 41 percent relative to FY10 enacted levels.
Already, less than 1 percent of the U.S. federal budget goes toward foreign assistance, a sum routinely overestimated by Americans.
"It is shocking to imagine that in the next major global humanitarian crisis – the next Haiti, tsunami, or Darfur – the United States might simply fail to show up," the organizations wrote.
When such disasters strike, the absence of U.S. humanitarian aid likely would have a devastating impact on children who are by far the most vulnerable in chaotic situations.
In countries such as Liberia, where ChildFund has worked to help children recover from a violent civil war that ended in 2003, new worries abound with the recent influx of 70,000 refugees fleeing hostilities in neighboring Ivory Coast, notes Anne Lynam Goddard, ChildFund's president and CEO.
Goddard, who traveled to Liberia in late February, met with President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who expressed concern over USAID reductions and her country's ability to manage the refugee situation. "She told me her worst fears were coming true," Goddard says. "This is a country that is successfully reweaving its social fabric, but it's still very tenuous."
In their letter to congressional leaders, the humanitarian and development organizations implored reconsideration of budget cuts that would "imperil the longstanding U.S. commitment to provide lifesaving humanitarian assistance for those threatened by disaster and conflict."
Humanitarian aid is saving hundreds of thousands of lives each year, including the lives of children who are eager to change the world. If you believe the U.S. should retain its leadership role in this compassionate effort, consider contacting your U.S. representative with regard to H.R. 1.
Update: The Senate is likely to consider a vote for the current FY11 budget on Friday, March 18, the day before their week-long recess.
International and national humanitarian, relief, and faith-based organizations will ask their members, donors, and supporters to contact their members of Congress to stop the budget cuts that affect the world's poorest.
by Virginia Sowers, ChildFund Community Manager
As the first woman head of state of an African nation, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, 72, is ever mindful of the obligations that accompany leadership – not just as president of Liberia but also as a role model in the world.
"I am aware of the tremendous responsibility," she told a sold-out crowd at the Richmond Forum this past weekend in Richmond, Va. "I welcome the challenge with humility."
Democratically elected in 2005, the Harvard-educated Sirleaf pledged national renewal after a long period of civil conflict and corrupt governance in her homeland. During the 14 years of turmoil, young children were recruited by the warring factions. ChildFund began work in Liberia in 2003 to help these children, families and communities reconnect and resume their daily lives.
Despite the country's ongoing challenges to rebuild its infrastructure and economy, Sirleaf said she is "bullish" about Liberia's future as well as that of the African continent as a whole.
"Africa is taking hold of its own destiny," said Sirleaf, citing country-led poverty reduction programs as one of the centerpiece efforts. "Our civil society organizations are vigorous."
As president, Sirleaf said her biggest accomplishment has been gaining international forgiveness for Liberia's crippling national debt, thus freeing up still-scarce resources for education and innovation. "All of our little children are back in school," she said.
Africa is a continent of young people and growing younger, Sirleaf noted. By 2050, the African youth population is projected to be 1.9 billion strong. On the positive side of that statistic, Africa is home to the world's "fastest-growing labor force," she said. But without investment in the critical basics of education, health, shelter, clean water and skills training for these young people, the risk remains high that they will be unemployed and apt to engage in violence. "The civil war, from which Liberia had recently emerged when my administration took over in 2006, was mainly fought by young men for whom the economy held no promise," Sirleaf said.
Yet, Sirleaf is encouraged by the progress in her own country, including the rekindling of industry and commerce, and noted the harmonizing of economic policies across the continent. "The majority of African countries have created the environment for security and stability," she said. "The majority are meeting the challenges of human security, jobs, education, health, sanitation clean water, all of those poverty-reducing measures that reduce conflict and instability."
Today, thanks to field reporting by ChildFund staff in Liberia, we're providing an overview of several ongoing projects that have made a difference in the lives in children in this country in recent months. We think you'll enjoy these village reports as our "31 in 31" series continues.
> ChildFund Liberia received funding to establish 15 community-based multipurpose health huts in rural Zorzor. Community health volunteers and traditional midwives were trained and assigned to these newly constructed huts. On a recent visit to communities in the area, some of our team members were introduced to a very new arrival. This is the first baby to be born in one of the huts, which are equipped to deal with emergency births as well as other major health issues for the area.
> Following training by ChildFund Liberia workers on the issues of environmental hygiene and community cooperation, the inhabitants of Keliwu community worked together to build a road. Villagers contributed local materials, such as sand and gravel, and labored together to build a highway, replacing the rutted track that had seriously hindered travel to and from the village. Now, villagers can access clean water and supplies, health workers are able to reach the people most in need and children from the surrounding areas can more easily attend school.
> On a recent visit to Gbarpolu County, ChildFund staff met the residents of Bambu-Tah. They learned that Community Welfare Courts have been formed to deal with issues in the local community peacefully, youth committees are conducting peer-to-peer education in combating gender-based violence and increasing knowledge of reproductive health. With ChildFund support, a number of local women received grants to start a business that
will help support their families and themselves. The village chief welcomed team members with a white kola nut. In Liberia, this nut is traditionally broken and shared with the guests to symbolize the purity of heart of the hosts. Visitors, in turn, return the symbolic gesture by partaking of the nut.
> In northern Liberia, ChildFund has worked in partnership with the Zealakpala community to build a water pump. This community of 500 people, more than half of whom are children, had previously used the local creek for all of their water needs, resulting in high levels of waterborne disease. Furthermore, children walking to and from the creek faced risk of violence and other dangers. The new pump frees the villagers from making this hazardous journey and provides them with safe, clean water.

Camp Exclamation Point provides continuity and community to underserved rural Vermont kids through a weeklong residential summer camp.
What a week! CAMP! 2014 has come to a close, and we owe an enormous thanks to everyone who helped make the session a success. Over 70 talented volunteer staff members created magic for 113 campers! We are grateful for the participation of CLiF once again, donating books to all our campers as they have for several years. This year we were again honored by the presence of three wonderful storytellers for our campfire story night – Simon Brooks (for his 10th year!), Angela Klinger, and Odds Bodkin – who captivated one and all. This was our first summer at Camp Farnsworth in Thetford, VT, operated by the Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains, and we thank them for their hospitality. As always, we were sad to leave camp but came away with memories to last us until next August.
We appreciate your donation via the secure Paypal button below. If you know of someone who might be able to make a major donation or of a grant we should apply for, please contact John. Download our fundraising informational flyer here.

Bowling for CAMP! took place on June 13th at Spare Time in Colchester, VT. Thanks to Emily Gibbs for organizing, to everyone who raised money (including a big group from Storm Cheer), and to our donors…who raised over $2500 for CAMP!

Anyone using OPen Office? We installed it onto some laptops as we had run out of MS Office Licences but now we have found some drawbacks when using online resources. ALthough it is set as the default programme for all XLS, PPT, DOC and their 2007/2010 counterparts if you try and open a resource from say primaryresources it won't open, you have to download it and open it from the laptop. This doesn't happen on thos machines using MS Office.
We have also noticed that if you download a PPT, Openoffice seems to move objects around on teh screen, sometimes making teh ppt unusable!
Any comments other than buy some Office Licences! (We are saving hard)

Four Best Things to Eat and Drink In Miami This Weekend
It's that time of the week again!
Earth 'N' Us Farm has a vegan-friendly dinner for you Saturday night.
In a few short hours you'll be packing up your stuff, shutting down your computer, and leaving your work problems in the chair behind you. Or, that's what you should be doing, at least. If leaving your worries behind you is a little bit of a problem for you, we can totally help.
Check out our list of the four best things to eat and drink in Miami this weekend. Busy yourself with this stuff and you'll forget about everything else until Monday.
Friday Night Happy Hour: It's Friday. You know the drill. The work week was rough. The rain yesterday didn't help. Did you get soaked, too? Shitty rain. You know what would make it all better? Some beer. $2.50 beer, that is. One Bal Harbour's serving up half priced draft beer from 4 to 6 p.m. The menu offers tasty snacks, too, like champagne, wine, and frozen cocktails. You should get in on that.

The Science of Greyhound Racing Prediction by Guy Slade
It's not a Game? It's a Science!
Hello, Welcome and thank you for visiting www.greyhoundpredictor.com.
I enjoy following the "Open Race Scene" here in the South East of England. I am a keen collector of dog racing memorabilia, mainly old race programmes! and have previously attended meetings in Ireland, the USA and Australia.
In this article, I explain how to predict your own race winners by using the Greyhound Predictor v2.0 Software Program and discuss the various formlines and statistics required to be entered into the 'Race Predictor Stat Screen'.
Questions about The Science of Greyhound Racing Prediction? Please feel free to contact me.
The Science of Greyhound Racing Prediction - Introduction
Greyhound Racing in the 21st Century allows us to interactively bet on the dogs. Combine this with RPGTV live race streaming, inter track betting exchanges and the ever increasingly popular number of dog racing websites, never before have we experienced such a revolution in greyhound information and technology!
Although, I first recommend you aquire a good 'informative newspaper' with full in-depth coverage of all today's meetings!
Greyhound Predictor Version 2.0 lets you predict races run over 3 middle-distances: 480 metres (525 yards), 500m (547 yards) and 515 metres (563 yards). Turn to the greyhound section and select a race close to any of these distances to obtain the best results!
If you haven't yet installed GP v2.0 then you can download a free trial. *The trial version is free to try before you buy! Please note: the full registered version will not display the start-up dialogue boxes or be limited to only one race per start up.
Now start up Greyhound Predictor, double click the Crystal Ball icon on your desktop. Once the 'Race Simulator' has loaded, Click I Agree to start the program running and press spacebar to move through the information screens.
From Main Menu you can select Predictor, Betting Lounge, Gallery, Information or Options by using the Up/Down cursor keys situated on your computer keypad. If you have any difficulties veiwing Greyhound Predictor v2.0, please see support page for further information.
By selecting the Option Menu you may alter the number of runners required and change any 'race length' into metres or yards or 'weights' into kilos or pounds.
Alternatively, by finding the Configuration Utility on your computer (Start - Programs - Greyhound Predictor v2.0 - Configuration) you can preset your own 'race settings' mentioned above as the default mode of your choice. Each time both six or eight dog races run in metres or yards, kilos or pounds will be saved for you!
Greyhound Predictor Software always runs in Full Screen Mode, therefore it's not possible to enter race data from internet websites unless you use two monitors!
Now are you ready to start predicting greyhound races?
From the Main Menu select Predictor to navigate throughout simply highlight your answers by using the Left/Right cursor keys on your keypad, when you have selected your answer Press Spacebar to continue.
GP v2.0 requires 10 form questions to be answered for each runner, although the first 3 questions always relate to each individual race set-up.
Please read on.

December 20, 2014
LOGAN COUNTY, W. Va. (WYMT/WSAZ) -- The streets of Logan were blocked by police, family and friends on Tuesday as they said goodbye to Kanawha County Deputy Greg Eplin.
"Just by the turnout here today, you can see that he was well respected and well liked by everybody that came in contact with him," Kanawha County Sheriff Mike Rutherford said.
Eplin passed away on Friday, Aug. 31, after a year-long battle with colon cancer.
"We're honored to have known him and worked with him, and we're extremely saddened of his passing," Rutherford said.
Judge Irene Berger talked about her former bailiff at the funeral, often speaking of Eplin's love for his family, his co-workers and his passion for law enforcement.
He was only 46-years old, but the legacy he leaves behind won't soon be forgotten.
"Greg taught us valuable lessons and set a great example for us," Berger said. "He taught us to always treat people with kindness and respect no matter who they were, to cherish the people we love and tell them how we feel about them and to be thankful for all we have, and to face adversity positively with great strength and great dignity."
In lieu of flowers, Eplin's family has asked for donations to be made to CAMC's David Lee Cancer Center.

Evergrande Ushers In A Good Start To The Slow Season, Achieving Sales Of 7.25 Billion RMB With 226% Year-on-year Increase
BEIJING, Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- On February 4, a briefing issued by Evergrande Group, a leading real estate enterprise in China, showed that sales volume for the first month of 2013 was 7.25 billion RMB, a year-to-year increase of 226.1%. The total sales areas was 1.168 million square meters, a year-to-year increase of 212.9%.
During the usual slow season of China's real estate market, Evergrande had a very good start in 2013. Some analysts believed that recently, influenced by the good government policy of new-type urbanization, the rigid demand of China's real estate industry is being gradually eased. First-home buyers and those buyers trading up have become the mainstream of the market. Evergrande correctly grasped the current good situation in the market and launched good products with a strategy of high cost performance for people's livelihoods, along with a small profit but quick turnover, and gained a rigid demand share of the market. This has resulted in good performance at a critical moment.
It is worthwhile to mention that the sales target of Evergrande in 2013, which was announced on January 14, was carefully increased to 100 billion RMB, which is an increase of 25% from 2012. Also, Evergrande Group officially declared that it is pursuing the goal of joining the "100 billion club" in China's real estate industry. Hui Ka Yan, board chairman of Evergrande has said on many occasions that "whatever target Evergrande makes, it will be surpassed."Policy experts have pointed out that with the deepening and advancing of the policy of new-type urbanization construction by the central government in 2013, China's real estate market will welcome a continuous release of pent-up demand. Evergrande, with its products designed for people's livelihood as its main business, relying on its prospective city layouts, is making changes to its sales strategies to take advantage of the changes in the market. By scientifically controlling the sales steps and reasonably integrating the amount of products launched, the company will again win the recognition of the market and support from its investors. Sales prospects are good, and there are good chances ahead for its development. In the past four years, Evergrande has realized its commitment to its investors. Statistics show that the total sales volume of Evergrande in 2012 was 92.32 billion RMB, which was 115.4% of its sales target. It was the fourth time that Evergrande has surpassed its annual target since 2009 when it became a listed company. SOURCE Sina Leju

up in defense spending by the Reagan Administration. But over the last decade government R&D as percentage of GDP has fallen uniformly. Intriguingly, the private sector share has grown more or less continuously, so that now it stands at about 1.5 percent of the GDP compared with the government's 1 percent. So industry has become the dominant source.
Also, R&D as a percentage of sales by U.S. companies started shooting up in the 1980s from its historic level of just under two percent. This is very significant. What has happened is the increase is concentrated in two areas: information/communications/electronics, and pharmaceuticals/biotechnology. What we have is a transformation in the industrial research base of the United States that seems to have gone relatively unnoticed. Our models of the industrial research process which are based on the chemical and manufacturing industries represent an increasingly small part of what is going on. This shift has enormous implications. For example, we have continuing shortages of skilled people in information technology related areas. Companies are going to India and elsewhere to fill these jobs. Going forward, the players in the U.S. R&D enterprise, including universities, will need to be more agile in this dynamic environment.
