Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday. As every school child knows, the first Thanksgiving took place after the original Americans discovered that a boatload of impoverished, undocumented immigrants seeking better economic opportunities had washed up on the beach.Fortunately, instead of building a tall fence to keep them out, or withholding help so the uninvited guests would "self-deport," the First Nations people helped the newcomers survive a couple of tough winters. Then, after a bountiful harvest, together they sat down to share a feast.Inspired by this traditional American celebration of generosity, sharing and finding common ground, I suggest an addition to University City Thanksgiving tables this year: fresh corn tortillas.A plate of warm, fragrant tortillas deserves a place of honor, right beside the turkey, candied yams and pumpkin pie. So does a heartfelt "gracias" to the farmworkers – a vast majority of them from Mexico – who do the incredibly hard, but largely invisible, work of harvesting America's crops.Corn is our native North American grain and the original tortilla-making ingredient. Flour tortillas won't cut it for Thanksgiving. Don't settle for plastic-wrapped, mass-produced tortillas, either, when you can find delicious fresh tortillas available at local Latino markets.¡No, amigo! Corn chips don't count, and don't even think about Doritos!According to geographer Owen Furuseth of UNC Charlotte, North Carolina's fast-growing Latino population is now an important part of our rural population, playing a vital economic role in small towns across the state. At the same time, many Latinos have moved to urban areas such as Charlotte. "Carolatinos" make up about 13 percent of Charlotte's residents, and 8.6 percent of North Carolina's population overall. The state's 160,000 farmworkers, who labor in our $69.6 billion agriculture sector, are more than 94 percent Latino, mostly from Mexico.As a small farmer, I know firsthand how hard field work can be. But to be honest, I have it easy. I can take breaks when I want, and I can return home at night to a comfortable house. Farmworkers face a much harder row to hoe.According to the N.C. Council of Churches, 85 percent of the fresh fruits and vegetables we eat are picked by hand. At the same time, N.C. farmworkers may earn less than $10,000 a year, in spite of backbreaking labor and 12- to 14-hour workdays. Half of farmworker families report that hunger is a significant problem. That the very people who bring food to our tables cannot feed their own families in the midst of such bounty is a troubling thought indeed.Farm work is dangerous, too. Few farm workers have health insurance, yet they face physical risks from large machinery and medieval toil, along with the constant danger of pesticide exposure.All the same, Latino farmworkers are legendary for their willingness to work incredibly hard, something I saw personally when I directed the garden program at Charlotte's Urban Ministry Center. Every year, we'd eagerly await the wave of Latino field workers as the followed the tomato harvest up from Florida. If I was able to work with two or three of them, even for just a single day, we'd always have the best tomato garden in Mecklenburg County.One year, a farmworker named Miguel had a hurt foot that kept him from traveling on with his friends. He came to the Center's soup kitchen and offered to help in the garden. In a couple of hours, he had finished every job, pulled every weed, raked all the paths and even turned the compost. The next day, first thing, Miguel again asked if he could help. I thanked him profusely but had to tell him that, thanks to him, we didn't really have any garden work left to do. He smiled and, looking a little crestfallen, went over to sit on the curb.It wasn't a half-hour later that I saw Miguel again heading in my direction, hobbling fast, a little wild-eyed. He wasn't tall, but he reached up and grabbed me by the lapels."¡Señor Don! ¡Señor Don! ¡Dame trabajo o me volverá loco!" ("Give me some work, or I'll go crazy!")What American wouldn't be thankful for, and impressed by, a work ethic like Miguel's?The American Thanksgiving holiday isn't celebrated in Latin American countries, although the first church Thanksgiving services in the Americas were organized by Spanish priests long before the English colonies even existed. Writing in Bella Online, Carleen Sanchez thinks, however, that Latino-Americans can make the celebration their own:"As any good Hispanic will tell you, any party is a good party as long as we are invited to celebrate. I feel that as time goes by and Hispanics become more accepted into the mainstream on a personal level, they will adopt this holiday and make it a new tradition."Sanchez makes a good point. A plate of tortillas is a fitting symbol, and tasty, too. But it is even better to invite farmworker families to join us at the feasting table. That's just the first step, of course. With our Council of Churches, we need to be sure that Latino immigrant farmworkers are not forgotten the other 364 days a year as they toil in our fields. We can also support church and other efforts to ensure fair pay and safe and decent working conditions for N.C. farmworkers and their families.On this Thanksgiving Day, Latino immigrant farmworkers deserve our thanks, respect, acceptance and awareness. And, if we're really lucky, maybe they'll bring the tortillas.

Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) has devised a daring plan to save the humans trapped on Caprica by using the Sharon's (Grace Park) knowledge of Cylon navigational technology to jump a rescue mission past the Cylon defenses. On the first jump, however, one ship goes missing. The stray ship ends up floating above a blue planet that shows every sign of being able to support life. When this news reaches Galactica, it has a profound effect on the presidential race, which Baltar (James Callis) is losing badly. In a debate with President Roslin (Mary McDonnell), he goes on the offensive, using the possibility of a new home planet other than earth to attack her as a fear-monger who relies too much on religious scriptures and doesn't care about people's need to have solid land under their feet. Meanwhile, on the flight deck, Tyrol (Aaron Douglas) is wracked with regret after he reflexively and brutally attacks Cally (Nicki Clyne) when she wakes him from a recurrent nightmare. He consults Brother Cavil (Dean Stockwell), who divines the problem: Tyrol dreams of killing himself because fears he is a Cylon. On Caprica, the rescue mission has found the last survivors. But even as Starbuck and Anders (Michael Trucco) embrace in a passionate reunion, the Cylons are closing in.

Excellent Value, Great Fabrics and Trim
By Tricia Wentrcek from Dallas on Jun 25, 2011
Bargain Hunter, Practical, High-End Shopper, Stylish
The Canovia Springs is a gorgeous combination of chocolate, gold and pale aqua. The accent pillow are very nice but I bumped them up with some add on trims from the local craft store. So for this price and a few dollars more on trim, I have a set that rivals the $900 sets and those sets are comparable to others at approx $5000 for the same amount of linens. This is a comforter, not a duvet, so you do not have to purchase the internal fill comforter.

Excerpt from: Absolute Tao, Chapter 1
"I speak on Lao Tzu totally differently. I am not related to him because even to be related a distance is needed. I don't love him, because how can you love yourself? When I speak on Lao Tzu I speak as if I am speaking on my own self. With him my being is totally one. When I speak on Lao Tzu it is as if I am looking in a mirror my own face is reflected. When I speak on Lao Tzu, I am absolutely with him. Even to say 'absolutely with him' is not true – I am him, he is me.
"Historians are doubtful about his existence. I cannot doubt his existence because how can I doubt my own existence? The moment I became possible, he became true to me. Even if history proves that he never existed it makes no difference to me; he must have existed because I exist – I am the proof. During the following days, when I speak on Lao Tzu, it is not that I speak on somebody else. I speak on myself – as if Lao Tzu is speaking through a different name, a different NAMA'RUPA, a different incarnation.
"Lao Tzu is not like Mahavir, not mathematical at all, yet he is very, very logical in his madness. He has a mad logic! When we penetrate into his sayings you will come to feel it; it is not so obvious and apparent. He has a logic of his own: the logic of absurdity, the logic of paradox, the logic of a madman. He hits hard.
"Mahavir's logic can be understood even by blind men. To understand Lao Tzu's logic you will have to create eyes. It is very subtle, it is not the ordinary logic of the logicians – it is the logic of a hidden life, a very subtle life. Whatsoever he says is on the surface absurd; deep down there lives a very great consistency. One has to penetrate it; one has to change his own mind to understand Lao Tzu. Mahavir you can understand without changing your mind at all; as you are, you can understand Mahavir. He is on the same line. Howsoever much ahead of you he may have reached the goal, he is on the same line, the same track.
"When you try to understand Lao Tzu he zigzags. Sometimes you see him going towards the east and sometimes towards the west, because he says east is west and west is east, they are together, they are one. He believes in the unity of the opposites. And that is how life is.
"So Lao Tzu is just a spokesman of life. If life is absurd, Lao Tzu is absurd; if life has an absurd logic to it, Lao Tzu has the same logic to it. Lao Tzu simply reflects life. He doesn't add anything to it, he doesn't choose out of it; he simply accepts whatsoever it is.
"It is simple to see the spirituality of a Buddha, very simple; it is impossible to miss it, he is so extraordinary. But it is difficult to see the spirituality of Lao Tzu. He is so ordinary, just like you. You will have to grow in understanding. A Buddha passes by you –you will immediately recognize that a superior human being has passed you. He carries the glamor of a superior human being around him. It is difficult to miss him, almost impossible to miss him. But Lao Tzu… he may be your neighbor. You may have been missing him because he is so ordinary, he is so extraordinarily ordinary. And that is the beauty of it.
"To become extraordinary is simple: only effort is needed, refinement is needed, cultivation is needed. It is a deep inner discipline. You can become very very refined, something absolutely unearthly, but to be ordinary is really the most extraordinary thing. No effort will help – effortlessness is needed. No practice will help, no methods, no means will be of any help only understanding. Even meditation will not be of any help. To become a Buddha, meditation will be of help. To become a Lao Tzu, even meditation won't help – just understanding. Just understanding life as it is, and living it with courage; not escaping from it, not hiding from it, facing it with courage, whatsoever it is, good or bad, divine or evil, heaven or hell.
"It is very difficult to be a Lao Tzu or to recognize a Lao Tzu. In fact, if you can recognize a Lao Tzu, you are already a Lao Tzu. To recognize a Buddha you need not be a Buddha, but to recognize Lao Tzu you need to be a Lao Tzu – otherwise it is impossible." Osho

Brazilian players holding up Neymar's jersy during the anthem http://t.co/eUzs87grok
— CJ Fogler (@cjzero) July 8, 2014
Brazil defender David Luiz and goalkeeper Julio Cesar held up the jersey of injured star Neymar during the Brazilian national anthem, a tribute to their sidelined leader.
It was a nice gesture for their star, who injured his back during the game against Colombia.
Neymar is there in spirit and jersey. pic.twitter.com/7Y8s1ZCshJ
— Troy Machir (@TroyMachir) July 8, 2014
That being said, Neymar will be back in a month or so, guys. He's still alive!

Thomas Müller has scored four goals this World Cup and has been arguably the most important player for the Germans. The Bayern Munich star is playing not only for the Golden Boot, but a chance to lead Germany to its first World Cup final since striker Jurgen Klinsmann's squad won the tournament in 1990.

Lionel Messi is the second highest-paid soccer player (only Cristiano Ronaldo makes more) and the fourth highest-paid athlete in the world. The FC Barcelona striker has carried his country with four goals and one assist this tournament, and is merely two victories away from immortality in the eyes of Argentines.

Anthems, Brazil, David Luiz, Injuries, Julio Cesar, Neymar, World Cup, Soccer

Thanks to my former colleague, Doug Floyd, for taking up his pen again and writing our main Labor Day story today in the Boomer U section. One of my favorite lines: "I loved my job, and I miss the friends and the engagement with events that was part of my life for 42 years. I follow the newspaper as a reader now, and in an age of shrinking newsrooms, it's good to know my stepping aside helped make room for some other journalist to have the same opportunities. I can't say I never miss the job, but there's a reason they call it a job." And thanks to S-R photog Dan Pelle for his great photos of Dan with his grandkids. Doug should be happy the hot tub picture only ran small on the front page today!

How to Find Homes in Foreclosure
Four Methods:Speak with Real Estate AgentsFind Government ForeclosuresKnow the Local MarketUtilize Online Resources
You can find homes in foreclosure in most markets. The foreclosure process occurs when a lender must take possession of a property due to nonpayment by a homeowner. The lender gains legal ownership of the property in the final stage of foreclosure. At that point, the lender has the legal right to sell the property to recoup some of the lost investment. Varieties of services provide listings of the latest foreclosure properties.
Method 1 of 4: Speak with Real Estate Agents
1Most banks utilize traditional real estate agents to sell the properties. These properties are placed on the market like any other. Investors and individual buyers will find foreclosures listed alongside other properties.
- When a property is sold through a real estate agent, it is placed on the Multiple Listing Service, or MLS. Real estate agents can access this list of properties on behalf of buyers.
- Ask a real estate agent to look for properties in foreclosure on the MLS or through private listings. Some real estate agents specialize in locating lucrative foreclosures for investors.
- Note that bank-owned properties may not be listed publicly and may only be available to real estate agents.
Method 2 of 4: Find Government Foreclosures
1Government foreclosures are properties taken due to delinquent taxes, crime or for other reasons. This includes government foreclosures at the county, state and federal levels. Locating these properties is possible through a real estate agent or through various websites.
- The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides links to several U.S. government organizations selling foreclosed real estate. This includes properties foreclosed on by HUD, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the IRS and the Small Business Administration. Properties are listed on the HUD.gov website.
- Properties sold by the government outside the United States may be listed on state websites or on third-party websites.
Method 3 of 4: Know the Local Market
1Investors can find houses in foreclosure within the local market by monitoring public records and news reports. Many governments require full disclosure of properties in foreclosure in newsprint.
- Public record searches may be 30-to-60 days behind in some situations.
- Local properties listed as for sale may, in fact, be foreclosures. Many are listed through traditional means with a local real estate agent.
2Auction listings are another great local resource. Many government websites or government offices provide notices of area auctions of real estate. Contact local officials for more information.
Method 4 of 4: Utilize Online Resources
1Many third-party websites list foreclosure properties. These websites may be for-profit resources.
- Note how often the website is updated. If not updated daily, the newest foreclosure properties may not be listed.
2Serious investors may also want to network with other investors online about foreclosure opportunities. Networking can be one of the best routes to finding the most lucrative foreclosures.Ad
We could really use your help!
product development?
- Foreclosure properties may also have a listing as short sale or real estate owned (REO) properties. Though slightly different, these properties are often lumped together in foreclosure listings.
- Learn about and avoid foreclosure frauds. Some companies may require payment to view properties in foreclosure or private listings.

A man drove his pickup truck and attached trailer off a 50-foot embankment Wednesday after he was forced off the road by stalled traffic.
Scott Butler, of Conover, was driving North on Highway 16 at about 3 p.m. Wednesday when he slammed on the breaks to avoid colliding with stalled traffic up ahead.
Butler said he pulled to the left and continued into the grass until the truck went down the embankment. Butler was pulling his Hot Shots pressure washing equipment.
After months of speculation as to who would guide the future of the Fred T. Foard football program, the Tigers finally have their man.
Jason Phelps, who spent the past three seasons at Bartlett Yancey High School, was hired as the head football coach at Foard.
Phelps was introduced Wednesday evening in the Fred T. Foard High School cafeteria with parents and students watching in attendance.
Phelps said there were a few main reasons the Foard coaching job interested him.
Ransom is a dog ŌĆō a big, white dog.
At first glance, the 5-year-old lab mix is just another mutt ŌĆö another one of the many homeless animals at the Catawba County Humane Society.
But watch him for a minute, and his true personality may surface.
On Wednesday, Ransom sprawled, spun, splashed and scurried around the humane societyŌĆÖs new exercise facility that was installed last month. He jumped in and out of the facilityŌĆÖs pool, pawing the shallow water and splattering H2O all over Cassandra Haecherl, the humane societyŌĆÖs community outreach leader.
North Carolina's 2011-12 budget will take away about $11 million from Catawba County's three school systems, creating a fearful future for school officials and area children.
"This budget sets us on a road to bankruptcy," said Catawba County Schools Superintendent Glenn Barger.
Budget cuts in public education spending will take a total of $4.7 million from Catawba County's three school systems. Discretionary funds from school systems also have to be paid back to the state, which makes the number climb to $10.9 million lost in public funding.
A new dress code will force many elementary school students to wear uniforms next year.
The Newton-Conover City Schools Board of Education unanimously approved standard code of dress policy Monday for elementary school students to go into effect next school year. The board did not vote on a particular uniform, but rather approved an action that will force each elementary schoolŌĆÖs staff to construct a dress code with input from parents.
The school staff and parents must present the new dress code to the board by Aug. 8.
Brady Ervin Moose, 71, of Newton, died Tuesday, June 14, 2011, at Abernethy Laurels in Newton. The Moose family has entrusted the funeral arrangements to Willis-Reynolds Funeral Home & Crematory in Newton.
Louise Sherrill Triplette, 92, of Carillon Assisted Living in Newton, formerly of Granite Falls, died Tuesday, June 14, 2011, at Carillon, where she resided for the past year. Pendry's Funeral home of Lenoir is serving the Triplette family.
After three rounds, 54 holes and two 19-under-par scores, it took three playoff holes to decide this yearŌĆÖs Greater Hickory Classic champion.
Mark Wiebe, a resident of Denver, Colo., defeated James Mason in the third playoff hole Sunday to claim the 2011 Greater Hickory Classic championship and the $262,500 winnerŌĆÖs prize.
The victory by Wiebe breaks a 77-tournament losing streak.
ŌĆ£I didnŌĆÖt know it had been 77 tournaments since IŌĆÖve won,ŌĆØ Wiebe said. ŌĆ£That was kind of a bummer to know. IŌĆÖm tickled to have busted that drought.ŌĆØ
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) ŌĆö The wait is over for Cale Yarborough and Darrell Waltrip. The championship-winning drivers with a bumpy personal connection are headed to the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Yarborough and Waltrip got in on their third try, headlining the third five-member class announced Tuesday. They're joined by eight-time series champion crew chief Dale Inman, nine-time Modified champion Richie Evans and pioneering driver and owner Glen Wood.
As the children of librarians, Carmen Winstead and Meredith Gladden aren't strangers to reading or to books.
"When we were growing up, we had a lot of books to read," Winstead said.
Not every young person in Catawba County is as fortunate.
That's why the two rising seniors at Fred T. Foard High School wanted to help spread reading and books to other young people. They orchestrated a book drive at Blackburn Elementary School that collected 2,948 youth and children's books.
The North Carolina General Assembly agreed Monday to make it illegal to dismember a body to conceal a crime.
The new law was initiated by the local district attorneyŌĆÖs office and will re-word an existing law to make dismembering a corpse to conceal a crime a Class C felony.
State representatives Mark Hilton and Tim Moore drafted the bill that has roots in the Zahra Baker case.
Baker is the 10-year-old Hickory girl who was originally reported missing Oct. 9. After her remains were found nearly a month later, Elisa Baker, Zahra's stepmother, was charged with second-degree murder.

The Catlin Arctic Survey team led by Pen Hadow, a veteran polar explorer, measured the thickness of the ice as it sledged and hiked for 73 days through 450km of the northern part of the Beaufort Sea earlier this year.
The findings released on Wednesday were based on 6,000 measurements and observations of the ice that showed the region was covered by mostly first-year ice only about 1.8 metres deep, and which will melt next summer.
The region has traditionally contained thicker multi-year ice which does not melt as rapidly.
'More vulnerable'
The raw data collected from March to May and analysed by Britain's Cambridge University produced some stark predictions about the state of the ice cap.
"In about 10 years, the Arctic ice will be considered as open sea"
Peter Wadhams, Cambridge University
"With a larger part of the region now first-year ice, it is clearly more vulnerable," he said.
Wadhams said on Wednesday that the Catlin Arctic Survey data supports the new consensus that the Arctic will be ice-free in summer within 20 years, and that much of the decrease will happen within 10 years.
"In about 10 years, the Arctic ice will be considered as open sea," he said.
The results come as negotiators prepare to meet in Copenhagen in December to draft a global climate pact.
'Faster than thought'
Martin Sommerkorn, a senior climate change adviser for conservation group WWF's international Arctic programme, said the ice melt in the region that holds a central position in the earth's climate system was happening "faster than we thought".
"This could lead to flooding affecting one quarter of the world's population, substantial increases in greenhouse gas emission from massive carbon pools and extreme global weather changes."
Sommerkorn added that the findings provided another urgent call for action to world leaders ahead of the December summit "to rapidly and effectively curb" global greenhouse gas emissions.
Global warming has raised the stakes in the scramble for sovereignty in the Arctic because shrinking polar ice could someday open resource development and new shipping lanes.
The rapid melting of ice has raised speculation that the Northwest Passage linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans could one day become a regular shipping lane.

UNLV SON Spring 2014?? - page 25
Hi all, wondering if anyone is applying to the nursing program at UNLV for spring 2014? This kills me to ask; but if so, how many points do you have and what makes you want to be a nurse? Good luck to all those hopeful nurses... Read More
- 1Dec 31, '13 by jaxxiepooHere is the e-mail I received. I don't have my acceptance letter handy since I'm out of state right now, but I don't recall it saying anything about the scrubs:
Great question! During my orientation and the last two orientations I have attended everyone wore regular attire. As long as it didn't say otherwise in your acceptance letter or letter about orientation, I would just wear regular attire. The pictures are for one of the profiles where the clinical instructors will do your mid-semester and final evals and also a group picture for the bulletin boards upstairs. Let me know if you or anyone else has any questions!
- 0Jan 1 by bunsieboobooAlright! Thanks Jaxx!
- 0Jan 25 by malinka1986Can someone please help me with my question.. I know that we can only take HESI 2 times however someone told me that we can take HESI 2 times per semester that we r applying for. I'm very confused. I guess what I'm trying to ask is that if you take HESI 2 times in fall while applying for spring semester then can you retake HESI again in spring when you are applying for summer term or are you allowed to take HESI only twice in your entire career while applying to unlv. Sorry I guess I'm very confused about this. Thanks in advance.

horseshoe pendantby Dana Reed $74.00
- the story
You're in Luck!
The horseshoe is one of the best-known good-luck charms, and has been for centuries. In the middle ages, a trio of horseshoes would be nailed above a sick person's bed to bring on a speedy recovery. And superstitious sailors believed that attaching a horseshoe to the mast of their ships would help their vessels safely navigate through tumultuous waters. Even today, the horseshoe's iconic scooped shape is still considered to be a symbol of hope and prosperity, and it can be seen hung above doorways around the world to bring good fortune to the occupants inside.
Inspired by this powerful omen's lucky charms, Chicago-based jewelry designer Dana Reed created this series of sophisticated pieces that evokes the horseshoe's iconic shape in a subtly beautiful fashion. In this necklace, a u-shaped strand of brushed sterling silver droplets encircle a smaller, 14 karat rose-gold-filled hoop, hinting at the horseshoe's well-known shape for double the luck. Don it everyday to increase your chances of warding off misfortune, or spread the luck around by giving the piece to a friend in need. Handmade in Chicago.

60 Diner
From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 18:38, 25 April 2009 by Videodude1298 (Talk)
60 Diner is a chain of small restaurants across Liberty City. These places are inaccessible to the player.
The outside of the 60 Diner looks a lot like the 69th Street Diner in Hove Beach, Broker, where the mission Out of the Closet takes place. There is a door at the front and a sign above it that says "60 Diner". It's shape is a lot like a giant trailer from the outside.
There are many locations of the 60 Diner around Liberty City, but the easiest one to find is the one in Middle Park East, on the same street as the Middle Park East safehouse.

Look around and be curious. Something special is waiting for you
I've always thought that if you have good ideas you should make them become real. As a journalist I found my personal way to do that: listening to people, reading, and writing. When I was a child I didn't even know that I would have become a journalist but I was sure about this: I would have been a curious woman. Curiosity is the way I look at the world, people, and experiences. Some years ago, when the internet was not so popular, I used to experience my curiosity visiting new places, meeting new people, and keeping asking them about their lives, feelings, and aims. When the web became the most important eye on the world I started using it as a compass to navigate the reality and to lead my curiosity to interesting stories I could have known and written about. It was my curiosity that led me to World Pulse and it was the internet that allowed me to join it.
It was a summer sunny day and I was looking for interesting stories about women around the world. I was searching for under-covered stories to do some researches on and to write about for the magazine I write for. This is a publication on women and gender equality. It's a local magazine but interested in stories from every corner of the world. I was seated in front of my computer, surfing the web as usual. World Pulse caught my attention and Voices of Our Future consequently. I saw World Pulse as the perfect place to experience my curiosity and Voices of Our Future as the ideal place to communicate my ideas and to let them become real.
It was 2004 and I was travelling in Burkina Faso, Africa. It was August and I was visiting a village in the South of the country. I met a girl, she was about 20, the same age as me. She was mum of four children. One of them was sick. She used to wake up really early in the morning to go picking up some water miles away. She had never studied, she had never left her village. I wanted asking her everything about her life, her life was totally different from mine. I asked her something, I wouldn't bother her. Her face is still kept in my mind. Since then I started being interested in women's life around the world, I started looking for their stories and stories about their countries. This is my own way to discover and to let other people known about my discoveries. This is my own way to communicate with people in my community and in other communities. This is my own way to raise women's voices around the world. Voices of Our Future is the most effective tool in doing this.
Sharing stories
I similarly enjoy experience new places and things - always curious about how other people live and what they think!
I wonder what got you into journalism in the first place? I would like to read more about how your background developed - what were your experiences? What did you do and where did you go? Why were you in Burkina Faso? Which other sites have inspired you or you have used? How is World Pulse different from the other platforms you may use?
Great addition of photos!
A story...
Hi Elena,
What a great story! You should certainly share more of your background like this within your articles and on your World Pulse profile - the more you show the basis for your passion and interests, the more personal and compelling your application can be!
Curiosity is a fantastic vehicle for both world exploration and self realization! It sounds as if it has been a common theme that has run through your life so far. I really enjoyed the pictures you posted!
As I read your story I found myself wondering exactly how your life differed from the 20 year old girl from Burkina Faso. By giving your readers some examples of your own life, that will allow them to truly understand the constrast between your lives. Keep up the great work!!
Bryne Atkinson

CoroWare Introduces the Explorer
CoroWare has released a ruggedized R&D robot that is designed for operation in highly unstructured, outdoor locations.
By Robotics Trends Staff - Filed Jun 26, 2009
CoroWare Technologies, a subsidiary of CoroWare, Inc. (OTCBB:COWI), today announced availability of the Explorer, an all-terrain robot designed and optimized for conducting R&D into new robotic applications that operate in unstructured, outdoor environments.
"Our R&D customers wanted a robot comparable to the CoroBot that could be taken outdoors," said Jon Mandrell, Vice President of CoroWare. "We listened to what they were asking for and expanded the framework of the CoroBot accordingly. The result is the Explorer."
Built on a ruggedized chassis, the Explorer excels outside the lab, navigating rough terrain and resisting environmental elements. The Explorer's camera, wheel encoders and GPS enable the robot to examine the environment while the fully articulated 4-wheel-drive ensures the Explorer can navigate curbs, steps and inclines.
"Companies like CoroWare help move the robotics industry forward by developing tools that enable the research and development of novel robotic applications," said Dan Kara, industry analyst and President of Robotic Trends. "Moreover, the operating environments for these applications should not be limited to structured, indoor settings, but extend to highly unstructured, outdoor locations. The Explorer provides an excellent R&D platform for building robotics applications that operate outdoors."
Competitive Advantages
The Explorer is designed to withstand contact with common field elements that can damage or disable less rugged bots—including dirt and dust, leaf debris, shallow puddles, sand and gravel. The Explorer also features expansive program storage space and a 2.0 GHz processor with more than enough horsepower to run additional applications without bogging down.
The robot's top deck provides ample mounting space for additional hardware components such as laser range finders and environmental sensors. An open-ended design allows researchers and developers to modify and customize each robot to meet specific requirements.

Illinois comes up short against Michigan in Big Ten tourney
BY STEVE GREENBERG Staff Reporter March 14, 2014 1:15PM
Illinois guard Joseph Bertrand, left, drives the ball against Michigan guard Nik Stauskas in the first half of an NCAA college basketball game in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Conference tournament Friday, March 14, 2014, in Indianapolis. (AP Photo/Kiichiro Sato)
Article Extras
Updated: March 14, 2014 11:35PM
INDIANAPOLIS — Losing locker rooms in March can be among the world's most depressing places.
All season, Illinois' chased the goal of the NCAA tournament. Against top-seeded Michigan in Friday's second round of the Big Ten tourney, the Illini came close to that goal. Tantalizingly close. Achingly close.
In the minutes after Tracy Abrams' short runner fell off the rim as time expired, ending a riveting 64-63 affair, who could have blamed the Illini players if they were dejected, demoralized, devastated even? The NCAA thing isn't happening for this 19-14 team. Illinois is one of those places — with one of those fan bases — where little else tends to matter.
But the way this team played late in the season, winning four of five Big Ten games, then beating Indiana in the tournament opener and nearly toppling Michigan, made this particular locker-room scene feel less like a funeral and more like a beginning.
What's next? Probably the NIT. It ain't the Big Dance, but what are you gonna do?
"We're going to continue to fight no matter what it is," Abrams said. "We're going to give it our all."
Sure, the Illini wish they could go back several weeks and shake themselves out of the funk they were in before it reached eight consecutive games of losing. Maybe if they had have won at Northwestern, or not managed to lose at home to Purdue, or closed the deal in any of several other close games, everything would be great.
"Honestly? I think the eight-game streak brought us to where we are right now," center Nnanna Egwu said.
The Illini revival that turned a lost season interesting was crystallized during the team's second-half comeback against Michigan. The Wolverines — 10 days removed from a 31-point victory in Champaign — led by 11 in the second half before a 10-0 run by the Illini set up a memorable finish.
It went the other team's way, but the Illini aren't too bummed about it.
"We'll play with anybody in the country," Ray Rice said. "We've got our identity back."

Mayor Richard M. Daley , Chicago's longest-serving mayor and the oldest brother of the new White House Chief of staff, chastised U.S. airlines and government for being short-sighted in a world of global competition.
Even the chief of staff to the first U.S. president from Chicago may face challenges in trying to win the top job in a city where someone named Daley has ruled for 42 of the past 55 years.
The Chicago that Richard M. Daley transformed and will hand off in May to the next mayor can be seen from the corner of Chicago Avenue and Larrabee Street.
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley won't seek another term in office, clearing the way for a potential run by White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel next year.
A new era of Chicago politics dawned today as Rahm Emanuel , the former White House chief of staff and the city's mayor-elect, hugged, shook hands and high-fived surprised rush-hour commuters on the South Side.
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley accused his fellow Democrat, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn , of imposing "the largest property-tax increase in the history" of the city by signing a pension-overhaul bill into law.
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley hired JPMorgan Chase & Co. investment banker Gene Saffold and gave him a simple order: protect the taxpayer.
"Cities can't wait for the next crisis."
- Richard M. Daley on Mar 25, 2014

My name is Mitchell, I am a wedding photographer based in Phoenix, AZ but travel worldwide. I am also a child of God and a husband, I am a son and a brother. I am an uncle to two awesome nephews. I love rain and I wish it rained a lot in Arizona. So I cherish the moment when it does rain. I also love Arizona. It's my home. I also love the Island of the Philippines specially Cebu. Its where I was born and call my second home. I love white chocolate mocha with a pump of raspberry from Starbucks on a nice chilly day. I married the girl of my dream, my soul mate and bestfriend and I love her. I love my parents and my siblings even if sometimes we don't see eye to eye. I love photography and I thank my dad for introducing me to it at a young age. I also love capturing moments not just with my clients but with my life. I think instagram is the best thing in the world cause I can show what I love to do. Pictures speaks louder than words but then spoken words are the most powerful medium. I love getting to know people and hear them speak so let me buy you coffee and see if we can make a beautiful story together by capturing your special day.
I look forward to getting to know you and learning more about your perfect wedding day. Hopefully we are a perfect fit!
