Turquoise Mountain Foundation
Turquoise Mountain Trust (in Persian, Bonyad-e Ferozkoh) is a non-governmental organization operating in Afghanistan, legally established in Scotland. It has the three-fold objective of regenerating historic urban areas, renewing traditional Afghan arts and architecture, and spurring the sustainable development of the nation's craft industry. It is named after Turquoise Mountain, the greatest indigenous Afghan capital of the Middle Ages.
The Turquoise Mountain Foundation was founded in 2006 at the request of HRH Prince Charles of Wales and HE Hamid Karzai, President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan,[1] to create jobs, skills and a renewed sense of national identity. Rory Stewart was the Executive Chairman until shortly after his election to the UK Parliament in May 2010.
The charity's 2008 income was £4.1 million.[2] Funding has been provided by a number of government agencies and private donors, including the Canadian International Development Agency,[3] United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Government of Afghanistan, the Government of India, the Blue Moon Fund, Reach Out To Asia, the Kathy Evans Afghan Education Trust, The Bonita Trust, The Prince's Charities, The Kingdom of Bahrain, HH The Amir of Kuwait, the Alwaleed Bin Talal Foundation (Saudi Arabia) and the British Council.[4]
Since 2006, Turquoise Mountain has:
1. Set up Afghanistan's premier arts education institution, the Turquoise Mountain Institute for Afghan Arts and Architecture, which has trained over 250 artisans in traditional arts and which won the 2013 award for best vocational art training centre in Afghanistan from the Afghan Government TVET section. Students graduate from three-year programmes with a vocational diploma recognised by the Afghan Ministry of Education and an internationally accredited City & Guilds certificate. A total to 115 artisans (31 female, 84 male) have graduated since 2009.
2. Restored and built over 100 historic and traditional-style buildings in Murad Khane and cleared over 33,000 cubic metres of rubbish from the streets of the Old City. Installed full water supply, electricity, sanitation and paving throughout the community.
3. Established an internationally recognised brand, profiled in over a hundred international publications, that has sold over US$2.5 million worth of Afghan crafts to markets in Asia, Europe, North America and the Middle East.
4. Curated and led major international exhibitions of Afghan crafts from the Venice Biennalle to a current US$4million exhibition in the Museum of Islamic Arts in Doha and Leighton House Museum, London.
5. Set up a model community health centre serving almost 20,000 patients a year, and established a primary school and supplementary classes for the children of Murad Khane.
It has three primary programmes:
1. Education
In 2006 Turquoise Mountain established the Institute for Afghan Arts and Architecture. The Institute was recently approved by City & Guilds and is therefore Afghanistan's only internationally accredited vocational education institution. The Institute's master craftsmen are training a new generation of artisans, as an essential part of the revival of Afghanistan's economy and cultural identity.
The Institute, with a staff and student body of almost 200 people, is composed of four Schools:
- School of Calligraphy & Painting
- School of Woodwork
- School of Jewellery & Gem-Cutting
- School of Ceramics
2. Urban Regeneration
Murad Khane is a historic quarter of Kabul on the banks of the Kabul River, home to a multi-ethnic community and a thriving bazaar that attracts 10,000 visitors a week. Before Turquoise Mountain began working in the area, it was buried under two metres of rubbish, it had no running water, drainage or electricity, and the community's homes were collapsing. In 2006, Turquoise Mountain was formally petitioned by the community of Murad Khane to preserve and restore the area. There is now a comprehensive regeneration programme, which is restoring historic buildings, installing infrastructure and working to provide basic healthcare, education and employment to the community.
Turquoise Mountain has installed an integrated fully piped water treated sewage, electricity and water supply system which will provide running water for domestic and fire use, enclosed sewage removal and treatment and a reliable source of electricity in all of Murad Khane. In partnership with the Government of Afghanistan and the Kabul Urban Regeneration Project (KURP) this project was the first system of its kind in the city and is intended to be a case study to be replicated in other areas of Kabul.
3. Business Development
The Business Development programme works to expand commercial opportunities for the Afghan crafts industry by linking high quality products to existing client demand abroad in its Design & Production Studio, which is equipped to produce large scale commissions, combining design and technical expertise in wood, ceramics, calligraphy and jewellery.
Examples of the commissions that Turquoise Mountain has completed include a suite, The Prince's Lodge,[5] in the Connaught Hotel, London.

Police storm suburban home to 'rescue' baby after call from bank
- From: news.com.au
- November 07, 2012
- NAB collections department calls at 6.30pm
- Family with screaming baby say it's not a convenient time
- Argument unfolds over the phone
- Ten minutes later three police arrive in bulletproof vests
ARMED police stormed a suburban home to 'rescue' a baby after a phone call with the National Australia Bank went wrong.
Adrian Everett says his two children were scared "s***less" and suffered nightmares after they were woken by police in bulletproof vests.
Police were called to the house by a bank telephone operator who believed Mr Everett had threatened to shoot his 18-month-old son, Peter.
Mr Everett, 32, was home with wife Emma at 6.30pm Monday, juggling a screaming baby and toddler when the NAB collections department called about a forgotten a credit card payment.
The recruitment company director says he explained to the telephone operator it was not a convenient time.
"I was being smart because (the woman on the phone) was threatening legal action ... I admit to being smart. At no stage was I offensive or anything like that," Mr Everett said.

Pay your bill then - Collections departments only call when you are in serious default. If your account wasn't in breach of the credit contract, issue would never have happened. Stop blaming others for your error.

'Audio was unavailable' - why am I not surprised? It is only available when it suits the bank. Best advice, records ALL the phone calls with those institutions yourself.

Is this getting like the US where the authority and guns are utilised by banks to hold customers to ransom for late payments. If proven by the police that NAB used the police to intimate the bank customer then the bank should be heavily fined and the call centre employee sacked. Regulation of banks is the only way to stop the banks and pull them into line.

I've had two heated conversations with Aussie phone operators in the last few weeks. I've just moved you see. They are the ones who start it, they turn everything personal. I don't get it. If you tell them you have a problem with your services, they get all defensive, which doesn't make sense since they are just an operator. I suppose they are angsty teenagers that hate their job and they hate you. The Indian ones are actually 100% polite and professional!

This absolutely reeks of corruption. The police state in the pockets of private big business to harass people on demand. If they don't like what they hear, sic the Gestapo onto them. The singular fact of "technical difficulties" recovering the call is utter rubbish. If the shoe was on the other foot the call would miraculously recover to "defend" their actions. The fact it was DELETED proves his point. Mr Everret should sue the NAB for absolute gigabucks. He should also sue the phone operator personally and their supervisor. Make them bleed financially. It is the only thing they understand.

If Mr Everett is found to be an innocent victim, if you call it that, there will most likely in my experience be no such thing as an apology to him, let alone anything further than that. I may be cynical but I don't see how our heavily commercially oriented legal system accommodates matters of principle. Yes there was an inconvenience, but did it cost anyone anything in real monetary value? It seems that this is the most important question to the courts. Costs incurred and income lost are all that people seem to be compensated for these days.

Well done NAB, making smart arrogant fools think they rule the world can get away with making smart comments over the phone esp when their credits overdue. NAB is entitled to refer public concerns to authorities where necessary. Well done. Thankfully this was only a case of idolts asking for it.

Steve of Sydney Posted at 9:25 AM November 07, 2012
Having the police kick in your door must be the most horrible feeling. I would like to hear about the outcome of this story. If it is found that the bank employee created this out of spite, then I think NAB needs to do more than provide an apology, they need to provide compensation to the man and his family, and be fined for misusing police resources. Good work on the police for such a fast response on what they believed was a critical situation at the time.

Customer service fail Posted at 9:30 AM November 07, 2012
We've had a similar experience with Optus, 6.30pm on a Saturday night. They couldn't verify where they were calling from, but requestd credit cardd details. When we said we weren't going to give cc details to a person who called us and asked to speak to custom service to veryfiy the account details we were told the were closed. Optus threatened to disconnect our account due to and overdue bill of 1 week. We ask for a recording of the phone call as the threats were extreme given the small amount owing, and the length of time overdue. We were given the same 'technical difficulties' line...

I get the feeling Mr Everett is attempting to get out of not paying his credit card bills... besides the point the police knocked on the door and requested to ensure the children were safe, not like it was forced entry.... alittle over exaggeration..

NAB collections are bullies and they will continue to harrass you at all hours for the smallest of arrears, despite substantial funds in another account to cover the arrears. Once when I was travelling I knew I needed to make a payment but couldn't get secure internet access. They continued to ring my mobile for hours. They need to be bought into line.

Who knew of Vic Posted at 9:38 AM November 07, 2012
Hmmmm overkill by a bank... your kidding me right! A bank would never do that! This family deserves an apology from the call centre operator, the bank, the police, and most likely have their credit card bill waived! The operator needs to start looking for another job, one where there is no 'customer service' involved!

Alan of Adelaide Posted at 9:40 AM November 07, 2012
If police act on a call, fair enough. BUT- a copy of the recorded call MUST be mada available! If this was real [and went to court] that would be material evidence - failing to provide a copy to Defence would be grounds for dismissal. Since it WASN'T Real, someone is lying - and the same recording can now be evidence in a civil lawsuit. "Losing" the recording becomes "Tampering with evidence".

Typical Aussie drama, a storm in a tea cup, and those Aussie cops make me laugh, they see bugger all actions compared to their counterparts overseas, so are all ready for action where there is none, maybe they should start recruiting smart people and work on more interaction with people instead of confrontation

Ex NAB customer of Gold Coast Posted at 9:47 AM November 07, 2012
NAB people are the rudest most aggressive and offensive people I have ever dealt with. They call you if you are 1 day late with a credit card payment and speak to you like you are some sort of criminal. I have just paid off my NAB credit card which is my last remaining account with the NAB. I will no close the account. I moved all of my personal and business banking From the NAB because the business bankers (wankers) I dealt with we're the most unethical people I have ever dealt with. They will only speak to you when they think there may be a sale in it for them....

Dave of Melbourne Posted at 9:50 AM November 07, 2012
This mans concerns are true. Credit card companies will continually call for payments that verge on the extreme. i was late with a payment and was called 15 times one day. I argued with the operator for calling me at 9.00p.m. at night. This is harrassment, I can understand his anger. I have asked if i am overdue then email, but they said it is not possible.

Richard Posted at 9:52 AM November 07, 2012
A big bank calls the police and they respond. We had a guy driving up and down our street, drunk and stoned, threatening his wife and kids who were hiding in our home, and the cops didnt show up for 2 hours. Yet if I go over the speed limit by 10klms, a "potential" threat to other road users, they are quick to send me an expensive picture and fine me(but they are not revenue raising Ok). The laws and policing in this country have been badly degraded and their credibility has become laughable. Get the politicians and revenue raising out of the law and policing and return to common sense.

Tracy of Newcastle Posted at 9:53 AM November 07, 2012
So his baby was screaming at the end of the phone call, yet 10 minutes later when the police arrived they woke his kids up? Come on, 10 minutes? Planning to sue for some damages now? The kids won't remember it if they don't keep reminding them of it. I doubt the police stormed into their bedroom by kicking open doors etc to scare them, like out of a cop show.

All too often those who work in the banks (those who are low level phone workers, I'm not referring to management) think THEY own the of bank and act as such, not realising they're JUST employees. Disgusting. I hope he sues the bank!

So many different sides to this story. What does "being smart" mean but how nasty was the operator calling the police in the context of "child safety" when it was obviously just to get back at him.

Liz Posted at 9:58 AM November 07, 2012
These sort of callers don't care about it being a convenient time or not. The other day I had a telemarketer from our bank ring just before dinner and I told him it wasn't a good time now because I had the kids - including the toddler - in the bathtub. His reply was: The children can wait. He didn't give a hoot that a toddler can drown in much less time than it takes him to rattle off his sales pitch. I just put the phone down on him but I was upset about so much inconsideration for a good few days.

You do not need much if a brain to work as a telephone operator/contact person for a bank. They are good at blowing things out of all proportion if they do not like statements from the people they contact, and allegedly in this case, very good at making a few things up to get back at the client as well. If this story is accurate, police should be interviewing the caller from the bank, not the "victim".
Comment 44 of 171
What's Really Going on? Posted at 10:06 AM November 07, 2012
Firstly the recording wasn't available due to a technical glitch, then it is when the police want a copy. The story also says the kids were both screaming and 10 minutes later they were woken up! It all sounds like a bit of a mess!
Comment 45 of 171
steve of nsw Posted at 10:07 AM November 07, 2012
Somebody needs to pay for this. In violating the privacy and freedom of these people the Bank needs to pay compensation and apologize. A total waste of police resources as well. The police force should also be compensated by the Bank. He did not phone the bank, they phoned him. I bet the bank person thought to themselves in their tiny little mind that they would fix his wagon. Don't Bank NAB, that's for sure.

Young Father of Brisbane Posted at 10:08 AM November 07, 2012
Sounds like a frustrated call centre operator vindictively making a false claim to police which could have resulted in an innocent father being shot. If this is the case she needs to have the book thrown at her. "Technical difficulties with the call recording" my right butt cheek.

Fiona Posted at 10:08 AM November 07, 2012
He says it wasn't a good time as they were juggling a screaming baby & toddler, yet when the police arrived "10 minutes later", they woke his children. Amazing that they got them off to sleep so quickly, especially when he was so agitated about the phone call to remind him that he had "forgotten" to pay his bills. I doubt legal action would have been threatened unless it wasn't the first reminder. I feel sorry for the person that had to make the call to him. I doubt he was being "smart". More likely aggresive and extremely rude to someone just doing their job. I'm sure the police didn't burst in to the kids bedroom with guns drawn. The kids will only be traumatised if the parents carry on about it, which obviously they intend to do. I'd be more worried about the example you set for your children by not paying your bills and then being rude to the people who have to chase you for the money you owe.

BJ'S BLOG 05/17/13 "Young and Dumb"
by BJ Shea
posted May 17 2013 8:19AM
Yesterday during Group Therapy, we read a text we received at 77999 from a Rock-A-Holic named Lisa who was furious at her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend of five years just admitted to her that when they first started dating he once let his best friend and roommate at the time hide in the closet and watch them get intimate!
His excuse was that they had just started dating, he didn't know if they were going to be long term and it happened when they were "young and dumb."
She feels sick to her stomach looking at him and isn't sure how to handle this situation.
First question I have is why he felt the need to tell her because right now he's being "old and dumb." This falls under the category of things to never tell your significant other! Nothing good can come from this unless the point was to give her a reason to end the relationship.
Guys like this make all men look bad; I understand that when a male is horny he makes bad decisions especially if you include young age, alcohol, and stupidity.
This is why I suggest always having some sort of counsel or mentor in your life because they will tell you when something is simply a bad idea. Sadly with the number of kids that did or are growing up with a single parent, they don't get that support system they need.
The thing people must also consider about relationships is that you are going to get challenged severely; it will kick the crap out of you, the question is, are you willing to take what it can throw at you. Like your significant other's bad behavior?

Evan Vucci, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The nature of terrorism has changed in Robert Mueller's dozen years as FBI director, but his concerns for the future are much the same as when terrorists struck on Sept. 11, 2001, merely a week after he'd taken over the bureau. As he wraps up his FBI tenure, Mueller worries that terrorists will once again target planes or finally pull off an attack using a weapon of mass destruction.
Mueller sees terrorism as a shifting landscape, evolving from Osama bin Laden's global brand in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks to the splintering threats arising in the fallout from the Arab Spring across the Middle East.
"Every one of these countries now has cadres of individuals who you would put in the category of extremists, violent extremists, and that will present threats down the road," Mueller said.
Mueller, the architect of the bureau's transformation into a terrorism-fighting agency, spoke to reporters at FBI headquarters this week.
The director's last day on the job is Sept. 4. His successor, former Justice Department official James Comey, will be on hand next week for the transition.
During Mueller's tenure, terrorists were thwarted in their efforts to bring down a trans-Atlantic flight in 2001, a Detroit-bound jetliner on Christmas in 2009 and U.S.-bound cargo planes carrying printer cartridge bombs. But the Boston Marathon bombings that killed three people and injured hundreds in April and the 2009 shooting that killed 13 and injured more than 30 at Fort Hood, Texas, are powerful reminders that the protective net against terrorism is not infallible.
"I always say my biggest worry is ... an attack on a plane," Mueller said. "And secondly, it's a weapon of mass destruction in the hands of a terrorist and that includes a cyber-capability that trumps the defenses that we have."
He also sees the risk of a cyberattack on a financial institution or on a sector such as energy "where we do not have sufficient barricades or preventive capabilities."
Mueller's initial foray into the world of counter-terrorism came more than two decades ago with the attack on Pan Am Flight 103, which was blown up over Scotland in 1988.
"I spent lot of time on that investigation over at the Department of Justice" and "still spend time with the survivors of that horrible, horrible disaster," said the director.
As he has in recent congressional testimony, Mueller defended the National Security Agency's classified surveillance programs.
"I am fairly comfortable and confident that we are doing things the way the American public would expect us to," said Mueller. He said the NSA programs are "tremendously important to the protection, not only from terrorist attacks, but from other threats to the United States."
Regarding the disclosures of classified information by former NSA systems analyst Edward Snowden, Mueller said "they have impacted" criminal investigations and are "in the process of impacting capabilities around the world." He declined to give any details.
Mueller made the comments the same day that a new round of revelations about the surveillance showed that the NSA scooped up as many as 56,000 emails and other communications annually over three years by Americans not connected to terrorism. He spoke to reporters before those details were made public.
In the interview, he declined to comment on prospects that Congress might restrict the surveillance programs or require greater disclosure about the details of the programs.
Looking back, Mueller says he didn't expect to be focused on terrorism when he took the job that has consumed the past 12 years of his life in law enforcement.
Mueller says he thought he would be overseeing the kinds of cases he had worked on as a federal prosecutor — organized crime, narcotics, public corruption and white-collar crime.
"I had in my own mind some ideas about where the bureau needed to go and then a week later we had Sept. 11," Mueller said. "I did not expect I would be spending my time preventing terrorist attacks." For the FBI, "it's not what we want to do, or like doing, it's what the American public expects us to do."
The FBI often succeeded in that goal but not always.
"I would say you feel the most pain from what happened at some place like Fort Hood or what happened up in Boston," Mueller said. "That's not to say that you could have prevented it, that's speculation. But the fact of the matter is, you sit down with victims' families, you see the pain they go through and you always wonder whether there isn't something more" that could have been done.

Amobi Okoye takes yet another step in his comeback
Amobi Okoye's comeback story continued Tuesday as he had "a little contact" with a lineman after practice.
"It was a weird feeling, but it was good to do that," the defensive tackle said.
Okoye has not played since 2012, missing last season with a potentially deadly brain disease, anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. Dr. Imo Aisiku cleared Okoye last week, and he rejoined his teammates at Valley Ranch this week.
Okoye, though, remains on the non-football illness list, and the Cowboys will take a cautious approach with him.
"The plan now is to get him in football condition," Coach Jason Garrett said. "We can't work with him as coaches. He needs to get himself in shape as best he can. He has been cleared, but you don't want to just simply taking him out there. He hasn't played in a long, long time. You just want to make sure his wind is right, his feet are underneath him."
Okoye, who, at one point, was placed in a medically induced coma to stabilize seizures, doesn't have a timetable for his return to practice. For now, just being back in the locker room and the weight room is good enough. It's one step at a time, Okoye said.
"It's just seeing how things progress on a daily basis," he said. "…You've got to be cautious with things, because obviously you're dealing with the brain. We'll take things slowly and progressively get better."

"You're positive." Those were the first words I heard when I found out I had HIV. It was 1990. I was 22 years old. The test counselor handed me two things, one was a graph that showed time from infection with HIV to progressing to AIDS, and then death. The timeline showed six months to two years. The second piece of paper was a flyer for a support group for young people living with HIV, called Bay Area Young Positives. I went to the Monday Night Drop-in group just two days later. The group, its leaders and the other young people there changed me in more ways than I can even begin to explain.
Twenty-three years later, young people continue to be vulnerable to HIV, particularly young gay and bisexual men of color and young women of color. It saddens me that we were not able to protect the next generation from this disease. In 2011, 26% of all new HIV infections were among young people ages 13 to 24 years old. A young black gay man in the U.S. has a 1-in-4 chance of being infected by the age of 25. Essentially, HIV has now touched two generations of youth, "Gen Xers" were born between the early 1960s to 1980s; "Millennials" were born between the early 1980s to the early 2000s. If I have learned anything, it is that young people are resilient and are fighters—from every generation.

This month, if you find a few male coworkers looking a little scraggly on the chin or see some expertly coiffed mustaches during your morning commute, you're not imagining things. In the name of men's health, November has been renamed Movember or No-Shave November. In solidarity with men suffering and recovering from prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental illness, men across the country are letting their facial hair flourish from November 1st to 30th.
The two lead organizations on this front go by the same names, Movember Foundation and No Shave November. Both charities operate with the primary goal of growing awareness via burgeoning facial hair. Participants can start teams, compete with one another, or host fundraising events with the goal of providing financial support to cancer research and men's health programs, all with a particular focus on prostate and testicular cancer.
While the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services lists National Men's Health week as the middle of June, the no shaving movement in November offers individuals an interesting way to engage with activism, awareness raising, and funding campaigns to combat cancers that specifically affect men. It's one of those dream actions an organizer strives for in terms of an attainable ask with potential for serious impact.
But where do young men come into play in these efforts? How does one advocate for the importance of his health if he's still having trouble sprouting any chin stubble at all? And while getting people to think about cancer screenings with beautiful beards is a great start, how do we elevate the other various health disparities young men face?
Wondering what role school policy can play in addressing young people's rights and needs to sexual health information, confidential health services, and safe and supportive school environments? Want something to share at your next school health advisory council meeting or with the members of your local school board?
Written for Advocates for Youth by Danene Sorace, MPP, this resource is intended to guide educators, administrators, and advocates in assessing the sexual health policies and practices in their states, school districts, and schools. Addressing Sexual Health in Schools: Policy Considerations brings together years of policy, research and advocacy efforts illuminating the need for young people to have access to the sexual health education and services they need to ensure their overall health and well-being. This compendium of policy considerations was developed as a resource for schools and community partners to support the implementation of policies addressing sexual health in schools.
Advocates for Youth welcomes the Senate's passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), a bill which would prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. ENDA is a significant and historic piece of legislation, and the first legislation which addresses the needs of transgender individuals. However, we are disappointed in the broad exemption for religious organizations opposed to LGBT rights. Congress should not be handing organizations - schools, universities, hospitals - blank checks to discriminate. As it moves forward and in future versions, we hope those provisions will be eliminated. In the short term, we urge President Obama to issue an executive order which would accomplish many of ENDA's goals for federal contractors.
October 22-29 was the first ever 1 in 3 Week of Action - and it was a great success! The goal of the 1 in 3 Campaign is to engage Millennials in starting a new national conversation about abortion—one that puts women's real life abortion experiences at the center and challenges the cultural stigma and shame that too often silences women's voices in support of safe abortion care.
The 1 in 3 Campaign Week of Action was designed to engage both traditional and social media to reach a wide audience about the Campaign, while also working closely with our 1 in 3 campus chapters to build a deep and engaged base of support among young people. Activists across the country held 136 events, with 96 of these on college campuses. Over 10,000 people took the 1 in 3 Pledge to speak out against stigma and help build a culture of empathy, support, and access to abortion care. Many media outlets, including USA Today, covered the week and the importance of elevating people's stories in the abortion debate.
by Colin Adamo, Coordinator, Young Men's Initiative
Here at Advocates for Youth, my job is to focus on engaging young men in sexual and reproductive health. This means highlighting the young men already doing excellent work to influence their peers and it also means helping others improve their work with this demographic. It's hard to explain exactly what so many different guys are experiencing as they come of age in America today - the pressures, the inconsistent messaging about who we're supposed to be and how, or the insecurities we might feel but are rarely able to voice.
This is why I was so excited to read Rosalind Wiseman's Masterminds and Wingmen: Helping Our Boys Cope with Schoolyard Power, Locker-Room Tests, Girlfriends, and the New Rules of Boy World and see so much of it captured so well.
Wiseman is the author of Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and the New Realities of Girl World , the book that was later turned into the movie Mean Girls with the help of Tina Fey. Learning that she would now try to take on the world of boys at first made me nervous. Never having experienced boyhood first hand who was she to chronicle the complexities of modern adolescent masculinity? But her thoroughness and her inclusion of 160 young men in editing this work provide a striking level of insight into the minds and lives of young men and how outsiders to this world can do their best to provide the support and space for guys to grow into men worthy of respect and praise.

1 Kinematic Analysis of Robotic Bevel-Gear Trains (November/December 1986)
In robot configurations it is desirable to be able to obtain an arbitrary orientation of the output element or end-effector. This implies a minimum of two independent rotations about two (generally perpendicular) intersecting axes. If, in addition, the out element performs a mechanical task such as in manufacturing or assembly (e.g., drilling, turning, boring, etc.) it may be necessary for the end-effector to rotate about its axis. If such a motion is to be realized with gearing, this necessitates a three-degree-of-freedom, three-dimensional gear train, which provides a mechanical drive of gyroscopic complexity; i.e., a drive with independently controlled inputs about three axes corresponding to azimuth, nutation, and spin.

UPDATE: More Ascension Parish roads barricaded due to flooding
POSTED: Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - 12:09pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - 3:25pm
Ascension Parish (NBC33) — Ascension Parish President Tommy Martinez announced Wednesday another parish road has been barricaded in the northern part of the parish due to backwater flooding near the Amite River and Bayou Manchac.
Assistant Department of Public Works Director Johnny Richardson said crews have added Broussard Road to the list of barricaded roads. Barricades remain at Airport Drive, Kay Drive, Idle Hour Road, Summerfield South Road and Lake Street.
Richardson said crews were dispatched to the Broussard Road area this morning to investigate whether a culvert was blocked and causing water to rise in that area.
"Our crews didn't find evidence of a blocked culvert," Richardson said. "The water level is coming up on Bayou Manchac probably from the rainfall the area experienced last night making its way down the Amite River."
Richardson also said crews continue to monitor roads along Bayou Manchac and the Amite River.
River level information can be found at the National Weather Service website link http://www.srh.noaa.gov/lix/ and by clicking the Rivers & Lakes tab.

Treats for dog with bladder stones
My dog just had a bunch of bladder stones removed. She is on Science Diet C/D and the Dr recommended making her treats out of the same. She did say she could occasionally have a little bit of a chicken breast as a treat. I didn't think to ask if it was ok to put a little seasoning on it when I bake it. Like maybe a bit of garlic or something. Does anyone else have experience with this or know of any other acceptable treat?
Also, is it phosphorus and magnesium that they are trying to control?
habagibi, I am betting that the chicken breast would be fine to her without the salt (we humans tend to think it is bland, the dog could probably care less -- its chicken!). Plus, the salt is likely not so good with bladder trouble anyways.
As for phosporus or magnesium, I honestly don't know. I bet Meghane would have a good idea of what to watch for.
C/D has restricted protein, magnesium, and phosphorus to prevent bladder stones.
But as far as what to feed, it depends on the type of stones. If they were struvite stones, then diet doesn't matter at all. My Max had struvite stones twice, but he is on regular dog food and has not had a recurrence. That's because struvite stones are formed because of infection. Control the infection and you don't get stones. Usually requires regualar urine cultures but Max has been doing really well on Solid Gold, Natural Balance, and Eagle Pack Holistic Select diets- all of which are high protein. But it doesn't matter because I get his urine cultured every 6 months (it was every month for a while, then every 3 months).
If they were calcium oxolate stones, then I would not add extra protein with chicken. Safer to feed veggies like broccoli, green beans, etc.
I second giving your dog vegetables for treats instead of meat/cheese or eggs.
My dogs love fresh green beans. They'll fight over them. You can also offer fruit but I've never had a dog that would eat much fruit but I've known dogs who loved various fruits so just try different things until you hit on something that your dog likes.

INDIA: Arvind teams with Invista on new denim fabrics
By Leonie Barrie | 7 January 2013
Textile conglomerate Arvind Ltd is partnering with fibre producer Invista to launch new denim fabrics onto the Indian market.
"Considering that over 70% of the global denim fabric production lies in Asian countries, this is an extremely important segment for Invista," explained the company's South Asia business head Rishi Suri.
He added the two companies will "jointly offer innovative and high quality products in this growing category."
Invista's products include Lycra and Lycra T400 fibres, which are used in stretch denims, along with the technological expertise to develop fabrics like Tough Max Lycra fabric and Lycra Dual FX fabric.
Arvind's denim division is one of the world's largest denim producers with a turnover of US$180m and an annual production capacity of 110m metres.
As well as catering to the Indian market, its denim is exported to more than 70 countries across the world. The company has also mastered difficult stretches with Lycra, including stretch selvedge denim, stretch jacquard denim, and super soft high recovery stretch denim.

If anyone wants, or knows someone please respond to the post or PM me
Greenman68, in July or there abouts the Chinese market will have Rambutans for sale. You have to plant the seed fresh after eating the flesh, you cannot plant them when they are drym poor gemination. Taste the fruit first. You need fruit that taste sweet and come away from the seed. I have miracle fruit seeds not many, 4 or 5 I think. They take a while to germinate. Give me your address and I will post them to you.

Hi Brad, I just sent you an email.
For some reason the thought of not having asian markets to go to seems funny to me. Do you guys in NOLA have Caribbean markets? I bet there would be a lot of different stuff there compared to what we see here in California. Our local latin markets up here are a bit boring, but I'm making a trip to Orange County next month and am hoping to see some more variety down there.
No asian markets. i have been to them in Chicago and in La
i love it, good buys on Ginseng and other stuff
We have some Latin markets with lots of stuff
I saw a Mamey fruit, might buy one next time i go,
it was like $3
seeds are hard to find
already sent the seeds :)
Hi greenman62,
I have a small mamey sapote seedling that is a month old about (3"-4") that I planted in a 1# pot. The seeds was kinda big so I decided to plant it in there. It's free if you want it, but will have to be shipped in the pot, since I don't think it will make it if I un potted and semi bare root it. I will have some fresh lychee seeds next week, when my order of lychee from a friend in Florida comes in. They will both be free, you just pay postage if you're still interested in them. I sent you an email eailer, but seems you might not have gotten it. Let me know if you would still like them.
Hey Brad,
Your stuff didn't make it out until today. I forgot to include labels on the baggies. The ones that look like dull black beans are the baobabs (A. digitata), the big ones are the loquats, and the other ones are the cherimoyas. In the cherimoya baggie there are two types, the bigger ones are newer.
The moringa are oleifera or ovalifolia?
I have several potted baobabs that I am just kind of letting do their thing. My biggest one is in its 4th year and is a little over 3ft tall. I just bare rooted it for the first time and potted it up and was shocked at the tap root. I knew that the tap root was big but it was more crazy than I had imagined. I'll try to post a photo later when I get home. I get the feeling I should chop the root but I've never had the stomach to do that before so I'll probably practice on one of the smaller baobabs.
I have seen some awesome baobab bonsais so it must take root trimming, I am just concerned I waited too long.
i was just looking at some pictures of that.
yes people do cut the big roots.
i guess it forces the smaller one to take over.
maybe with some rooting hormone?
I will probably be reading upon it soon.
Locals in Africa use the baobab
as an emergency water (and food) source.
its supposed to hold hundreds of gallons.
might not be bad to have around
in case of an Apocalypse :)
Here are some photos. It had grown about a foot since breaking dormancy in early April and had overwhelmed its bamboo supports and 6" pot so I decided to give it some more space.
Up until this year the leaves were coming out as singlets. This year it put out a few singlets then popped out a 2, 3, 4, and finally 5 leaflet clusters. This 5 leaflet arrangement is reminiscent of a hand and is where the species name 'digitata' originates.
Here are the exposed roots. One big cork screw of a tap root, which I need to build up the courage to deal with.
I haven't taken any photos since I potted it up. It has been about 2 weeks and hasn't grown too much, but it also doesn't seem to have been too shocked by the procedure.
if you want to stop it from getting tall and spindly
you can nip the top every week or 2 (just 1/2 inch)
to force lateral growth
Im certainly no expert, but i was just watching several Bonzai vids
and its seems they really chop those plants.
Of course none were baobabs
and most were several years old at least.
I just recently topped another much smaller baobab I have growing. No branches yet but I'm optimistic. I think they like to branch out. I'm just letting this one do its own thing.
Those moringa seeds really took off. I only planted a couple and almost all of them sprouted. The looked kind of un-virile but I guess they were! Thanks
the Moringa grows fast.
I have several in pots that are growing much slower.
anytime the leaves look yellow, ,somehting is wrong
wither its pot-bound, or a water problem usually.
Its got to be one fof the fastest growing plants i have seen.
They LOVE fish emulsion FYI...
excellent grow tips here...
Here is a link that might be useful: grow tips
If he doesn't have anymore seeds to give away, I can get you some cuttings, if you like? They grow very easily from cuttings as well. Just stick it in the ground/pot. Let me know, if he doesn't respond to you.
Hi Brad,
how are the lychee and mamey sapote seedlings doing? And has that little rooted cutting of dragon fruit started any new growth for you yet?
Hi Seng
The Mamey and Lychee are doing OK
I keep fighting ants and aphids on the Mamey, but not a huge problem. I think every one of the Lychee must have sprouted, i have lots of them.
The Dragon fruit did sprout new growth, then i had rains for several days which killed the new stuff, so it started another new growth on top of the old one, and now i am having several days of rain again.
it doesnt look happy, i brought it inside to let it dry out.
I got a couple of smaller dragonfruit bits from someone else also, so i have a red one now too.
thanks Seng :)
Yes i had an email with tylorgv , i will be sending him some Moringa
i will have to stop trading now though, im just too busy to keep doing this. i love it, just dont have the time.
UNLESS, its something i really want, like a live Jackfruit seedling, Cacao, or Lucuma :)
I have extra seeds, from my last batch of seed order not too long ago. If you still want to trade and looking, I got some. Would love to trade for custard apple seeds, or are they cherimoya seeds?
Did the cuttings, I sent you not take?

Another financial turbulence has hit the losing Australian flag carrier, Qantas, which reported on Wednesday the end of its multi-million contract with Air New Zealand. As a result, Qantas is sharpening its job-cutting axe.
The contract for Qantas to provide ground-handling services for Air New Zealand at the Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth airports lapses in March. It includes checking in of passengers and baggage handling.
Air Zealand domestic passengers who fly via Auckland could actually opt to use the gateway's automated check-in system.
Qantas was informed of the termination of its multi-million contract as early as November 2012 with Air New Zealand opting to grant the contract instead to Toll Dnata, a cheaper third-party operator.
Toll Dnata was established in 2007 and is the only ground-handling company in Australia that operates at all the major international gateways in the country. Besides Australia, Toll Dnata provides ground-handling services in some airports in the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Switzerland, United Kingdom and Iraq, as well as flight catering services.
While Qantas is still studying the impact of the contract loss on its strike-prone labor force, the air carrier said it did not expect laying off or compulsory redundancies, but instead would push for voluntary redundancies.
Linda White, assistant national secretary of the Australian Services Union, said the move would likely affect Qantas staff at Sydney Airport's international terminal. Those assigned in other Australian airports would likely deploy the affected employees to other tasks.
The reduction of manpower, whether compulsory or voluntary, is likely to encounter resistance from Qantas unions which had struck several times in 2012 over disagreement with policies of Qantas Chief Executive Alan Joyce.

Lhertzog's Reviews > Sold
by Patricia McCormick
by Patricia McCormick
Lhertzog's review
Dec 30, 08
Read in December, 2008
This book is beautifully written and a powerful story of what is happening to young girls involved in sex trafficking. I just saw the documentary "Call and Response" about human trafficking and many of the details included in the film are also in the book, which affirmed to me that while this is a work fiction, in many ways it's not. I found it so disturbing that this goes on that I couldn't finish the book in spite of it being a powerful story and well-written.

Besides the risk of arrest and jail time, some may be barred from entering China, others are deferring studies, and one 14-year-old faces a police move to separate him from his parents. The 14-year-old was among two dozen demonstrators arrested Nov. 25 as bailiffs and police officers enforced a court injunction to clear blocked roads in the Mong Kok shopping district. After almost 24 hours in detention, the teen was brought in front of a juvenile court judge. He wasn't charged with an offence, with police instead applying for a protection order.

Substitute for coffee...
I' m looking for a substitute for coffee. Any ideas?... Thank you all for your answers.
Dandelion roots, roasted, make a substitute for coffee. Also roasted hawthorn (may) berries, chicory roots, milk thistle roots, carrot seeds, okra seeds, cleavers seeds, ephedra seeds, fennel seeds. Since I don't drink coffee myself, I can't tell you how satisfactory any of these is as a coffee substitute. During World War 2 in Germany, I think they used acorns to make 'ersatz coffee'.
How about green tea? Good antioxidant, lower caffeine contont, etc. Lynn
Here is a link that might be useful: American Cancer Society
Yes, it seems I do have a problem with caffeine. But I can't find any good to get started in the morning. Green tea is really nice and gentle but doesn't wake me up. I' m going to try Daisyduckworth's suggestions one by one. Thank you a lot guys!
I would suggest that if you need 'waking up' in the morning, drugs like caffeine are not the answer you're looking for. Instead, look at how well you are sleeping. It's possible you might have sleep apnoea without knowing it, which means you may be deprived of enough oxygen, making your sleep shallow and unrefreshing, as if you haven't had a long-enough sleep. A good healthy breakfast should wake you up sufficiently after a good night's deep sleep. Talk it over with your doctor on your next visit.
I find that dandelion roasted roots to a golden brown then grind use like instant coffee. What I find is that the dandelion tea actually brings me up without the huge let down that coffee has on me.
I quit drinking coffee over 6 years ago because I like it too much, even decaf. What I found out was that my shakes went away that wasi nterfering with my art work ( I like to paint) and I was more irratated at times than now. I can wake up and not have that withdrawl of coffee and the need to drink coffee to "wake up".
And decaf...ether is used to extract the caffiene and even pure water decaf methods use chemicals in the ezxtraction process after soaking the beans. And of course, its never 100% free anyways.
I just love the smell of fresh roasted coffee...but have switched and am satisfied with using dandelion roots instead.
Dandelion root is actually a food and not a medicinal herb in the sense that it has more nutrients in it to help you although it is also a duretic.
And you should never drink more than 1 cup of coffee a day anyways or at the very most 3 cups, its nutritional values are not great, if any beneficial nutrients are in coffee. Infact I believe that coffee depletes your system more than feeds it. I believe that excessive coffee drinking can lead to numerous diseases if intake is not moderated.
I do miss that addictive aroma of fresh brew coffee, but I am too aware of how it effects me. My brain is more relaxed and better rested when not under the influence of coffee. My mind feels like being a child again, that wake up fresh feeling!
ok......... try some ginseng tea instead. works like cofee but i find it lasts longer, helps my stamina. do not however take caffeine and ginseng together.
that doesn't work try black tea, more caffeine and easier on the body than cofee caffeine. some sort of chemistry explanation that I don't remember.
Or it may be that your getting the shakes because your deprived of protein. ie. not eating breakfast in the morning and just going cofee. the shakes may not be a reaction to caffein but is your bodies way of telling you, you need better blood sugar or eat darn it. I get that sometimes if i'm dumb enough not to eat when i'm hungry:)

... leaning against the shower. We took the door off, padded it and put it in storage. While we were in MI for the reunion, not only did we visit with family, my brother and family from west of Chicago and my sister and part of her family from IN, but we also visited with friends from South Texas Renegades.
