In its most general usage, civil society refers to all voluntarily constituted social relations, institutions, and organisations that are not reducible to the administrative grasp of the state. NGOs are organisations within the civil society that work on the "not-for-profit" approach in the space which exists between the family (household), market and state. It is made up of several types of formal voluntary organisations, where people based on community, neighbourhood, workplace and other connections form their association to participate in actions for their own collective interests or for larger social good. Those NGOs which are working at the global arena, across several countries are termed as international NGOs.

Role of NGOs in India

NGOs can and should play the "game changer" to pro-poor development through leadership on participatory research, community empowerment and search for development alternatives
In a democratic society, it is the state that has the ultimate responsibility for ushering development to its citizens. In India, through the progressive interpretation of the Constitution and its laws and policies, the scope of development has been significantly broadened to include not just economic progress for citizens, but also promotion of social justice, gender equity, inclusion, citizen's awareness, empowerment and improved quality of life. To achieve this holistic vision of development, the state requires the constructive and collaborative engagement of the civil society in its various developmental activities and programs. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) as the operational arm of the civil society therefore have an important role in the development processes.
Defining Non-Government Organisations
In its most general usage, civil society refers to all voluntarily constituted social relations, institutions, and organisations that are not reducible to the administrative grasp of the state. NGOs are organisations within the civil society that work on the "not-for-profit" approach in the space which exists between the family (household), market and state. It is made up of several types of formal voluntary organisations, where people based on community, neighbourhood, workplace and other connections form their association to participate in actions for their own collective interests or for larger social good. Those NGOs which are working at the global arena, across several countries are termed as international NGOs.
Institute of Development Studies (IDS) in its concept papers on civil society and good governance has defined civil society as "an intermediate realm situated between state and household, populated by organized groups or associations, which are separate from the state, enjoy some autonomy in relations with the state, and are formed voluntarily by members of society to protect or extend their interests, values or identities". For the purpose of this paper we understand NGOs as "formally registered not-for profit association of groups of individuals founded on the principles of equality, altruism and voluntary work spirit to promote human development (including environment and biodiversity) and nation building"
Indian State and NGOs
In India the state policies have significantly influenced the formation of NGOs and their activities. The government sponsored and aided programmes provided financial assistance to NGOs either as grants or as matching grants to support the implementation of social development projects. In the Sixth Five Year Plan (1980-1985), the government identified new areas in which NGOs as new actors could participate in development. The Seventh Five Year Plan (1985-1990), envisioned a more active role for NGOs as primary actors in the efforts towards self-reliant communities. This was in tune with the participatory and empowerment ideologies, which was gaining currency in the developmental discourse at that time.
Government support and encouragement for NGOs continued in the Eighth Five-year plan, where a nation-wide network of NGOs was sought to be created. The Ninth Five-year plan proposed that NGOs should play a role in development on the public-private partnership model. Also, the agricultural development policies of the government and its implementation mechanisms provide scope and space for NGOs. A case in point is the watershed development program, which has led to the growth of NGOs working for rural development. This has also been acknowledged in the Tenth Five-year Plan Document.
Such proactive state support to NGOs has also brought in the element of reporting and regulations. This is being done through a series of legislative and administrative measures, which are often considered by NGO workers as affecting the performance and efficiency of NGOs. However, the Constitutional provision for right to association ensures that the NGOs enjoy adequate autonomy in terms of their management and governance. In the words of Prof. Amartya Sen, the relationship between the state and NGOs is one of "cooperative conflict".
With the increasing role of the NGOs in development activities they are now attracting professionals from various other sectors, and capacities are being built in support areas such as financial management, resource mobilization, human resources, leadership development, governance procedures and practices and institutional development.
At another level NGOs have been addressing the social service issues and empowerment related advocacy efforts have been increasing. The study conducted by a New Delhi based NGO concluded that every fifth NGO in India works on the issues of community and social service. The favourable disposition of the governments and the political will to involve NGOs is more pronounced in implementation of the welfare schemes addressing causes of women and children.
Further, the industrial policies have influenced the formation and relations between the businesses and NGOs. The Confederation of Indian Industries (CII), a leading organisation, has been raising the issues of corporate social responsibility. The emphasis of industrial policies on the promotion and development of small, cottage and village industries has also lead to the formation of agencies such as the Khadi and Village Industries Commission, Small Industries Associations and likes.
The Indian NGOs Scenario
In India, it was the 1970s which saw rapid growth in the formation of formally registered NGOs and the process continues to this day. Most NGOs have created their respective thematic, social group and geographical priorities such as poverty alleviation, community health, education, housing, human rights, child rights, women's rights, natural resource management, water and sanitation; and to these ends they put to practice a wide range of strategies and approaches. Primarily, their focus has been on the search for alternatives to development thinking and practice; achieved through participatory research, community capacity building and creation of demonstrable models.
When we review some of the work done by NGOs over the past 3 decades, we find that they have contributed greatly to nation building. Many NGOs have worked hard to include children with disability in schools, end caste-based stigma and discrimination, prevent child labour and promote gender equality resulting in women receiving equal wages for the same work compared to men. During natural calamities they have played an active role in relief and rehabilitation efforts, in particular, providing psycho-social care and support to the disaster affected children, women and men. NGOs have been instrumental in the formation and capacity building of farmers and producers' cooperatives and women's self-help groups.
Several NGOs have worked hand in hand with the Government to ensure that millions of out of school children are enrolled and continue their school education, thus making the right to education a reality. The leprosy eradication programme was spearheaded by NGOs and today only residual leprosy remains in our country. NGOs have implemented the Jeevan Dhara programme for creation of wells for safe drinking water; promoted community toilets for total sanitation, and supported the public health programs on immunisation and for eliminating tuberculosis and malaria. The much celebrated NREGA, ICDS, ICPS, Nirmal gram, and Swasthya bima of the government have their roots in the work of many NGOs.
NGOs have significantly influenced the development of laws and policies on several important social and developmental issues such as the right to information, juvenile justice, ending corporal punishment in schools, anti-trafficking, forests and environment, wildlife conservation, women, elderly people, people with disability, rehabilitation and resettlement of development induced displaced people to name a few. Further, NGOs made their modest attempts to ensure the effective implementation of these laws and policies by conducting and disseminating findings from participatory research, budget analysis, public hearings, social audits, workshops, seminars and conferences.
Summing up, it is now well established that NGOs have an important role to play in the development processes and that both the state and market need the collaboration of credible, active, and accountable NGOs. Given their connect with the grassroots realities, NGOs can and should play the "game changer" to pro-poor development through leadership on participatory research, community empowerment and search for development alternatives.

Great post!
Reliance Foundation has created a simple approach to address this. Our goal is to make learning fun and affordable for children in government schools of India so as to reduce drop out rates by creating interest in them to attend school. And we believe this will enhance a strong hold on the base of Foundation in India. - June 7, 2014 at 2:59 PM

Chicago Eagle, August 1, 1914:
One of the luckiest home runs on record was registered at Newark recently when Deininger was given credit for one on a fly ball that was actually caught by an outfielder and held…Willie Zimmermann [sic] backed up against the low left field fence to take a drive from Deininger. As he froze onto the ball he fell over the fence. He held on to the ball though rendered unconscious, but the umpire couldn't see it, and permitted the home run.
I imagine that would have precipitated one heck of an argument.

"Pawn Stars" fan-favorite Austin "Chumlee" Russell is all about making money for the store, but also all about losing weight … lots of weight.
The 31-year-old has lost 75 pounds, according the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
"I'm going to the gym six days a week," he told the Review-Journal. "I'm eating right. Well-balanced diet. I drink a juice smoothie every morning."

Russell added that losing his father was also an inspiration to shed the weight.
"My dad died from pancreatic cancer at 54 … I'm making sure I'm eating my vegetables and staying away from the red meat," he said.
To show off his new, slimmer look, Chumlee and his girlfriend Tany Hyjazi, who's a chef at a major casino in Vegas, posted Instagram pics of the two of them on the beach in Hawaii for New Year's.

GAHANNA, OHIO - G. Scott McComb, President and CEO of Heartland Bank, hosted the 2011
Spring Economic Update Webinar on May 10, 2011 presented by Heartland Investment Services. The update featured economist, Dr. Edmond Seifried, Co-Chairman of Seifried & Brew, and Professor Emeritus of Economics and Business at Lafayette College. Dr. Seifried has led the educational programs as Dean for the West Virginia Banking School and the Virginia School of Banking. He has been on the faculty of many banking schools, including Stonier and the Graduate School of Banking at LSU.
Dr. Seifried reviewed the performance of the economy during the first quarter of 2011. He paid particular attention to the newly released GDP report for the first quarter of 2011 and the results of the recently concluded Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. Dr. Seifried strongly believes the Fed's moves in the next few months will have a large impact on the stock market and commodity prices.
"Dr. Seifried has a very common sense way of discussing important key trends in the economy," McComb stated. "The Spring Economic Update is just one of the ways Heartland Bank continues its tradition of helping customers by bringing them sound financial advice and excellent
resources to help make valuable decisions."

Most people would scream if they saw a giant rat running around their home, but if they saw this LED Taxidermy Vampire Rat, they might just pass out.
The all-white rat has been stuffed and fitted with sharp vampire teeth that protrude from its mouth, a big black cape with a red lining and high neckline, and its eyes have been replaced with red LED lights. Powered by the battery underneath the box on which it stands, the rat's eyes will emit a bright spooky red light when turned on. Along with the outstretched claws, sharp teeth and creepy tail, the eyes just make this creature the scariest thing I have ever seen.
The LED Taxidermy Vampire Rat is a nightmare come true.

Sept. 5 (Bloomberg) -- New Zealand business confidence rose this month after slumping to a four-month low in August amid global financial turmoil, according to a Bank of New Zealand Ltd. survey of 531 companies in the week ended Sept.2.
The proportion of optimists expecting the economy to be better in a year's time rose to 53 percent from 45 percent in August, while pessimism dropped to 16 percent from 23 percent, the Wellington-based lender said in an e-mailed report. The level of optimism was 59 percent in July.

Fantastic!! These were far better than the other sports shoe I carried and I was amazed how natural they felt. They are lightweight and extremely comfortable. One minor negative note: shoe felt too 'airy', meaning I was able to feel the cold once I returned to New York and had to step out in the cold weather. But no big deal, because these shoes make you want to wear them irrespective of what the weather is! Highly recommend them!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Korena asked me to touch base with you about your questions below.
Regarding the strike in Yemen, we're still looking for additional
information on the exact location of the strike. Unfortunately, aside
from the information that was released to the media on Friday, we haven't
seen any new significant details emerge. We believe that the reasons
behind this are largely political in nature. There was, and still is, a
great deal of controversy about the idea that CIA drones could legally and
legitimately attack a US citizen without additional due process
considerations -- it's likely that the Obama administration is attempting
to officially keep the matter at a lower profile to minimize those
objections. Similarly, with the chaotic political and security situation
in Yemen, it's likely that the Obama administration is also seeking to
keep the details as quiet as possible in order to avoid giving the Saleh
administration any credit for the attack. We're continuing to look for
more details and we'll send them along as we learn more.
Regarding your second question about residential properties in Hidalgo,
can you tell me a little more about the properties and what sort of
information are you looking to find?
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Very early a.m.
Hope you're enjoying time off
When you return, have 2 questions:
1. Why no definitive GPS location for al-Awlaki drone strike? (I
noticed Administration is keeping new CIA base a secret, could be why no
2. Is there a way to get addresses/subdivisions of '70 residential
properties in Hidalgo County, TX' that cartels purchased several years

I just picked up a sample of a grey/blue subway tile. The sticker on the back says Mir Glass. I'm not sure if that is the brand. It is just stunning. I didn't even ask the price. Hopefully others can post some suggestions and pictures. |

I am very interested in the colorful modular kids furniture made by several Italian and at least one Spanish company. Some of the brand names are Moretti Compact, Tiramolla and Rimobel but there are several more. I love the look of the furniture but it seems to have little availability in the U.S. I have found Tiramolla at Roche Bobois ($$$, wesbite only orders) and Rimobel in NYC at Sohomod. If we buy this I won't be able to see/touch it IRL. Can anyone speak to the quality of these or similar modular brands? I particularly love the color choices. Also, additional US retailers? Thanks! |

Popular retailer Williams-Sonoma has agreed to pay a $987,500 fine and make "significant internal compliance improvements" after it failed to notify authorities of a defect in a product that was blamed for 12 injuries, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission Monday.
The California business began selling its Pottery Barn-branded wooden hammock stands in March 2003 and by July 2008, when Williams-Sonoma filed a report with the CPSC and issued a recall for the 30,000 stands already sold, it was aware of 45 incidents of the stands failing including 12 incidents with injuries that required medical attention. The injuries ranged from bruising and lacerations to neck and back pain and fractured ribs.
When used outdoors, the stands' wooden components could rot and fracture, especially the portions hidden inside metal brackets, the CPSC alleged.
Federal law requires manufacturers, distributors and retails to report to the CPSC within 24 hours after receiving information that may reasonably indicate a product is hazardous or could cause serious injury or death.
The hammock stands were imported and sold nationwide for about $300.
Williams-Sonoma agreed to the settlement, but "neither admits, nor denies" the CPSC's allegations that the product was defective or that the company failed to notify the commission in a timely manner, the CPSC said.
A message has been left with Williams-Sonoma seeking comment.
Read the full settlement announcement on the CPSC's website.

When it was founded in 1987, Frame Central was a social hub for artists, and was even curiously named for facial hair. However, Beard Outlet has since morphed into a seven-location franchise, dedicated to simplifying the framing process. The shops' onsite stock of matboard, frame moulding, and other key supplies ensures speedy DIY framing projects—which visitors can complete in an hour—and single-day professional framing. An array of pre-framed mirrors and artwork allows shoppers to enhance their blank walls without taping a napping friend to them. Shoppers can also stock up on framing supplies such as case glass and hanging hardware.
Tanis, Egypt. 1937. Indiana Jones descends into the fabled Well of the Souls, and lands in a slithering knot of black asps. The swashbuckler is struck dumb with terror, managing only to mutter the now iconic phrase: "Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?" Indiana Jones is not alone in his phobia. Tim Criswell hopes to change that.
Though the House of Reptiles founder doesn't deny snakes' potential to inflict harm, he hopes to foster in the public a more nuanced understanding of reptiles. He has amassed dozens of snakes over the years, including exotic specimens such as the indochinese spitting cobra, reticulated gila monster, and black mamba. He houses these serpents in his reptile museum, which was spotlighted in the Times not only for its exotic-species collection, but also for its mission to educate the public about the oft-feared-but-seldom-understood reptiles.
In addition to the museum, House of Reptiles features a retail store staffed by expert snake handlers, who draw upon years of experience to advise fledgling snake owners on proper care. Dozens of snakes are also available for purchase, giving animal lovers new friends who don't insist on cuddling every night.
Like fancy suits, sofa sets are sewn from the same cut of fabric. These matching sets provide a well-rounded look in living rooms, but near misses tend to clash due to their small differences. At 20 show rooms throughout the western US, Mor Furniture for Less arranges complete-room sets so customers can envision the collections in their own homes. Furniture for living rooms, dining rooms, and children's rooms can be found in each store along with individual lamps, tables, and entertainment centers. The stores also carry complete sets of beds, dressers, and nightstands so that homeowners don't receive criticism from design bloggers in their dreams.
BedMart furnishes restful sleep with an arsenal of slumber-inducing mattress sets. The solid support of King Koil's Arlington model ($779.95–$1,199.95) relieves bodies of the aches accrued from overworking pressure points and napping in ball pits, and Serta's Perfect Sleeper Arborwood ($979.95–$1,399.95) a memory-foam mattress that cradles snoozers with detachable arms. Three comfort options for Five Star Mattress's Stanwyck ($479.95–$799.95) can accommodate sleepers of all persuasions, from the hibernation-ready extra firm to the fluffy pillow top.
Although most chefs have their own unique style of peeling, dicing, and julienning veggies, they all have one thing in common: they each require precise, sharp knives. At Excalibur Cutlery and Gifts, the staff ensures that tools remain as close to their factory condition as possible. During sharpening services, a water-cooled belt system and buffing wheels restore a piercing blade while removing a minimal amount of steel. They can sharpen kitchen, pocket, and hunting knives, as well as dull scissors and razors.
The shop also stocks premium models of nearly every edge they sharpen. The cutlery department stocks German-made Wusthof and Henckels, Swiss-made Forschner, and Oregon-grown Kershaw knives.

Delusions Of Grandure
I will start of by assuring everyone who reads this that I am indeed young. I understand that I am not past my prime yet and still have time to improve my situation by a lot. However if your mature enough to be giving out advice then you should be wise enough to know that everyone will still go make their own mistakes. So here is a brief summary of how my life has gone no where fast.I think I can really bring it all back to the summer of 07' when I was still in high school but unable to get a job. The reason? Well simply because I lived out in the middle of no where and had no means of even getting to work. There were no simple task to do around the area for some pocket cash no lawns that people didn't mow them selves and no chance my family could afford to give me even a little money to save up to a car. At this point if I remember correctly I was in my third year of high school. My grades where at best average and sometimes little low end from the fact I had no 7Th/8Th grade education from being continuously suspended. Being beat up but both people getting suspended kind of ruined my education.
Unable to find work or friends to help take me around I resigned myself to simply finishing high school and moving onto college or something. I honestly had no idea what I wanted to do. Long part of the story short I got in a rather deep relationship that ended with a bunch of false lies to get me in trouble. I had to leave the school since no one would listen... Not even the officers tried to look at any evidence I had of my innocence. So in my fourth year of high school I dropped out. At the time it did not't bother me I simply went onto college as if I never happened. Back then the state provided for people who had decent GPA's and I was in that range. I had some money extra to pay for books and so on. That didn't last long two quarters in and my lack of a decent education caught up to me. Classes became difficult and I had no idea what to look up or study to even try and catch up. I had to deal with the teacher even simply telling me I had no chance if I didn't learn the stuff in high school. Kind of ****** right?
I have lived most of my life simply dealing with things like this but since I am not here to give a life story I will spare you all further details. With my GPA drop and the change to the system I would need an even higher GPA to get tuition again... So as I said to my self when I was younger if all else fails I will simply join the military. They are always looking for people right? That turned into a FOUR year delay of them clearing my paper work and my recruiter not having a clue what I needed. I kept missing dead lines to get information and he kept misinforming me. I ended up having to get a GED despite having college credits. So I enlisted and got shipped off about a year later to basic. Sounds good right? I intended to join during the war as it didn't phase me what kind of work I would have. Lucky me due to high scores I ended up with an Intel Contract. Issue is I get to basic to be informed of the ARMY cutbacks and how over 50% of my company will be dropped by end cycle. Essentially they only wanted airborne and rangers left. Neither of which was on my contract thus ensuring my demise. Despite my short time in the military I was discharged uncharacteristic at that. Not dishonorable but it might as well be to any civilian employer unaware of what it means. That with my very short stay in looked really bad.
So here I am now with no more than 4 or so months work experience at two separate jobs who both let me go after only a short time. Both jobs where cutting back when I joined to which I was unaware and now neither job is a good reference. I have tried applying with and without my resume having those jobs. I have essentially been unemployed my whole life and used what little money I did earn while in the Army to buy myself a super cheap car that I can't even afford the tags for. I am now sitting here on a laptop in my mothers house at 2:30am EST feeling like a wreck. My life has just gone deeper and deeper after I had moved away from my dad to get out of a similar downwards situation. I have spent the last few bucks I have every other week to buy a lotto or two. I keep telling my self I have won and that this will be it. Hell I even have everything planned out like an idiot. Sure it is fine to dream of winning but planning it out? Investments, savings, and the lot just make me seem delusional. At this point I honestly think I need help before I make my own situation worse. I like to tell myself since I don't drink or smoke buying a lotto every other week or two is not bad but these are my last dollars. I have applied to just about everywhere possible. With what little qualifications I have and those them selves making things look worse this is a nightmare. What can I do to turn my life around? Even if I stopped putting my dreams in lotto I would lose what little drive I have left to get out of bed. That is pretty pathetic when I look back at how I was in the Army. I didn't let anything hold me back. I did so much more than I thought possible only to be kicked out... My last hope throwing me out. I no longer have a plan or path in life that I can obtain with where I am at now.
I need help getting from this crappy situation. I need to move from this starting line and make it to a point even beyond most peoples dreams if I am to even try and accomplish my own.

If you select this option, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
Hi, I'm Jim.
I've enjoyed a long career in the aerospace business with companies like Boeing, Honeywell, Motorola, Northrop Grumman, and Sikorsky. Most of those jobs required detailed geometry, trigonometry, Excel and Matlab skills. I am entertained by focusing my time using those skills, and sharing them with others.
My tutoring method attempts to engage the student in more than just solving the current problem by rote; it is important to me that the student understands the concepts of a problem. Geometry and trigonometry problems usually require visibility, so I like to require the student to draw a picture of the problem. This will often reduce the problem to a focus of the actual question being asked, isolating only the needed information to answer the question. The picture also provides clues in selecting the best tools (i.e., which formula to use) to solve the problem. Excel and Matlab problems are often exercises in logic. Again, I like to require the student to draw a picture of the possible logic paths to assist in the visibility and order of the programming development. Of course, a big part of programming is learning the syntax of the Excel and/or Matlab functions. It is important to me that the student understands the concept of each function and its role in logic solutions.
I enjoy students that are eager and ready to learn. My pace of tutoring is driven by what I think the student is absorbing. The student should feel free to stop my process at any time and let me know that more explanation is needed. It is not my normal method to complete a particular set of problems in a fixed amount of time. However, if directed by the student or parent, my method may be altered to being a guide of a particular direction to follow without actually solving problems. In other words, my method is flexible, but it's more satisfying to see that the student has understood the problems presented.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I received A's in this subject when I was in Junior High School. I have BS and MS degrees in Aerospace Engineering. I have worked in the Aerospace industry for 30 years. I have recently reviewed the subject using the "Math for Success" commercial product.
As a Flight Controls engineer for satellite and helicopter programs, MATLAB was my primary development tool. I have BS and MS degrees in Aerospace Engineering and have worked in the Aerospace industry for 30 years.
I have BS and MS degrees in Aerospace Engineering, which included subjects also taken by students in Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. I have worked in the Aerospace industry for 30 years and have many Mechanical Engineering books in my personal library.
Standard Hourly Fee: $45.00

I have an air bed, a very nice one, BUT when it was used last it must have had a wet spot. When I opened it up the other day there were black mildew spots and there was some mold growing in the center of the fold amidst the mildew. So far I have used the Clorox wipes on it and now it is sitting on the deck in the sunshine.
Any other ideas for me? I am allergic to mold, so it does tend to freak me out a bit. Will post on the KT forum also. Kathy G in MI |

Your heart is a vital organ that keeps your body functioning. Unfortunately, many people don't treat it that way. They may not realize that their daily habits and lifestyle can overwork and damage their hearts. So, take care of your heart and yourself. Start by making the following lifestyle changes.
Nicotine causes blood vessels to narrow. This makes it hard for blood to reach your heart muscle and temporarily raises blood pressure. The carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke lessens the oxygen that gets to the heart. That's why smokers have twice the risk of heart attacks compared to nonsmokers. So, if you smoke, think about quitting. Talk with your doctor about ways to quit. And, try to avoid secondhand smoke. It is also bad for your heart.
Eating fatty foods plays a part in the buildup of fat in your arteries. This can lead to blocked arteries of your heart and to the risk of a heart attack. You should limit fatty meats, whole-milk products, egg yolks, and fried foods. Instead, choose nonfat milk or low-fat dairy products. In addition, choose healthier cooking oils made with unsaturated fats, such as canola and olive oils. But since they are fat, use them in limited amounts. Also, try to eat 2 cups of fruit and 2.5 cups of vegetables daily. They're good for you, and they fill you up.
Exercise gets your heart pumping. This helps your body use oxygen better and makes your heart stronger. It can also decrease your blood pressure and the amount of fat in your blood. Start your exercise program slowly, especially if you haven't been active for a while. Begin with short sessions, such as 10-minute walks. Gradually increase the length of your workouts to 40 minutes, 3 to 4 days a week. Be sure to talk with your doctor before starting an exercise program.
Make sure your blood pressure is in the healthy range or under control. Blood pressure is the force against the walls of your blood vessels as blood flows through them. The harder your heart works, the greater your risk for having a heart attack. The upper number in a blood pressure measurement shows the force of the blood against artery walls when the heart is pumping; it is called "systolic" pressure. The lower number is the pressure of blood against artery walls when the heart is resting; it is called "diastolic" pressure. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), a normal blood pressure is less than 120/80; systolic readings of 120 to 139 or diastolic readings of 80 to 89 are considered "prehypertension"; and a systolic pressure of 140 or greater, or a diastolic pressure of 90 and above is considered hypertension or high blood pressure.
Making smart lifestyle choices, such as eating a diet low in sodium, exercising regularly, avoiding tobacco, reducing stress, and limiting alcohol, will decrease your risk of developing high blood pressure.
The AHA considers overweight and obesity to be major risk factors for heart disease. If you are overweight, losing weight can decrease your risk. Reaching or maintaining an ideal weight also helps lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Continued and elevated stress has been consistently linked to health problems, including an increased risk for heart disease and cardiac death or death from heart disease. Anger is tightly linked with risk of cardiac death. Common ways of dealing with stress, such as overeating and smoking, can further harm your heart. Try to keep your stress low by exercising, sharing your concerns with friends and family, and making some quiet time for yourself each day. Spending 15 to 20 minutes every day doing something you enjoy is a simple, but effective, step toward a less stressful life.
The AHA recommends regular screening for your risk for heart disease beginning at age 20. Screening includes measuring blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, and pulse each regular health care visit or at least every 2 years. Getting a cholesterol profile every 5 years for normal-risk people is also recommended.

First year students at MECA engage community with mural projectPosted: 2012-10-03 |
This striking new mural recently appeared as a result of a community partnership and MECA's Public Engagement efforts at the corner of Preble Street and Cumberland Avenue, a block off of Monument Square. Two of MECA's FY-In sections have teamed up with Wright Ryan to create a temporary public installation on the exterior of the new Preble St Teen Center. Paul Gebhardt and Adam Manley's classes collaborated to create a 48 foot Mural to be mounted on the side of the building at the corner of Preble and Cumberland Streets. Students worked together to come up with a mural spoke to both the residents of the center and the general population of Portland. After a group brainstorming session, the students were divided into groups of two, each of which was assigned a letter, as well as a language commonly spoken in Portland to act as a visual prompt for the painting of their letter. The mural is divided into 4' x 4' squares, each containing one letter, and the individual artworks that developed around each of these letters is based on the students' extensive research into the visual language of the assigned cultures. The building is being renovated to become the Preble Street Resource Center's new Joe Kreisler Teen Shelter. But the mural is actually a collaboration between Wright-Ryan Construction and this year's freshman class at the Maine College of Art. Wright-Ryan superintendent Rob Barrett was a driving force behind the initiative. He said, "The building renovations required his crew to remove the first-floor facade and erect a temporary plywood shed. Instead of having a blank wall, it seemed like a perfect canvas for a community art project, so I contacted a couple of instructors at MECA. Members of the freshman class then teamed up in pairs to paint the mural's individual panels, each of which honors a different nationality from the diverse immigrant community at the nearby Portland High School." "It was a way to get incoming freshmen introduced to Portland, and introduced to the Preble Street Resource Center, with a community-based arts project," explains Barrett. |

Elegant Enigmas: The Art of Edward Gorey comes to PortlandPosted: 2012-09-13 |
Portland, ME ~ The Bank of Maine proudly presents Elegant Enigmas: The Art of Edward Gorey opening on Friday, October 5, 2012, and continuing through December 29 on display at Portland Public Library's Lewis Gallery. The exhibition is free of charge to the general public and features original illustrations, preparatory sketches, unpublished drawings and ephemera by the internationally celebrated artist and author Edward Gorey. This highly acclaimed exhibit is made possible by generous support from The Bank of Maine and a collaboration between Maine College of Art (MECA) and Portland Public Library. Elegant Enigmas pays tribute to the work of Edward Gorey (1925 – 2000), best known for his brilliant drawings and witty, quirky stories. Described as "incredibly sophisticated…stylish and inventive" by the New York Observer, Gorey's signature pen-and-ink illustrations and macabre wit has led him to be considered one of America's most imaginative and eccentric artists of all-time. During his lifetime, Gorey published over 100 works, designed sets and costumes for countless theatre productions, created popular animations, and illustrated works for a wide array of artists ranging from Charles Dickens and John Updike to Virginia Woolf and H.G. Wells. Elegant Enigmas includes approximately 180 original works, including selections from The Gashlycrumb Tinies, The Doubtful Guest, The Unstrung Harp, The Gilded Bat, and other well-known publications, drawn primarily from the extensive archives of The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust and significant private collections. Chairman and CEO of The Bank of Maine, John Everets, one of many local Gorey enthusiasts said, "We are proud to sponsor this exhibit and delighted to help share the fascinating genius of Edward Gorey with the Greater Portland community. We hope that people take advantage of this tremendous opportunity to experience Elegant Enigmas for themselves." or to schedule an interview with Gorey expert and chair of MECA's illustration department, Scott Nash, please contact Raffi Der Simonian at 207.699.5010 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
