Doll - Nutcracker, Soldier, Wooden, circa 1990 Reg. No: SH 990171
- Summary:
- Alternative Name(s): Soldier Doll, Nutcracker, Nutcracker Toy
Wooden nutcracker toy from the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) area of Germany. Used by children as toys as well as to crack nuts, mainly during Winter. The poor wood-carvers in the past usually gave their colourfully-painted nutcrackers the grim look of typical representatives of hated authority, e.g. kings, soldiers, policemen.
This nutcracker represents a soldier, complete with rifle and binoculars. Wood carving began in the Erzgebirge (Saxony) region late in the 18th C after the decline of mining. Toys produced in this region were distinguished from those produced around Nuremberg (the centre of handcarved wooden toys from the 15th C) by their simple forms.
Part of the Australian Children's Folklore Collection (ACFC). Donated by the Embassy of the German Democratic Republic, 1990. The ACFC is unique in Australia, documenting contemporary children's folklore across Australia and in other countries reaching back to the 1870s. The Collection has a strong component of research material relating to Victoria.
- Description:
- Traditional wooden soldier figure, complete with detachable wooden rifle and binoculars. Figure has a painted green hat with felt brim, green jacket with brown belt and yellow buttons, dark green trousers and brown boots, and stands on a grey-painted wooden stand. The figure has black fur hair and beard, and a painted moustache. Binoculars are made from wood, painted black, and attached to a thin strip of black plastic. The rifle is natural wood with a black-painted barrel, and attached to a thin strip of light brown plastic. The movable handle is at the back of the figure. The figure is in its original box, with illustrations of different figures available as nutcrackers. Acknowledgement: Australian Children's Folklore Collection, Museum Victoria.

Life is hard for Anne Arundel residents who live in Baltimore-Washington International Airport's "noise zone." The Maryland Aviation Administration only made it harder by spending three years trying to deny them their right to complain.
This week, at long last, a state transportation review board began considering the BWI neighbors' appeal of the 1988 noise control plan, which included some major, unpopular changes. The zone -- the area where noise from jets may exceed 65 decibels -- was enlarged from 8,600 to 12,000 acres. Flight paths were altered. Earthen noise barriers were eliminated.

LAKELAND, Fla. – Playing the entire second-half without one of their biggest contributors, the Saint Leo men's basketball team cut a 16-point lead down to just two, but could not complete the comeback as they fell to Florida Southern 87-82 in Sunshine State Conference action from a rowdy Jenkins Field House on Wednesday night.
In what became one of the more exciting, and undoubtedly confusing contests of the season, the Lions jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead.
Those opening points were answered by the Moccasins (21-5, 10-2), who went on an 18-3 run and then led 26-14 at the 10-minute media timeout.
Saint Leo would slowly cut into that lead throughout the next six minutes before a single play changed the Lions' game plan, and left fans wearing Green & Gold scratching their heads.
After a missed trey by Florida Southern, the Lions saw Jordan Prais gain control of the ball before a charging Moccasin player landed on top of the Saint Leo forward. Prais, maintaining control of the ball, caught the FSC player with an errant elbow which resulted in a flagrant foul being issued to Prais, and his ultimate dismissal from the contest.
The Lions, stunned from the Prais ruling, saw Florida Southern respond with a 12-1 run to extend their lead to 18 as the Mocs would eventually head into the halftime with a 49-35 advantage.
The second half started with both teams trading baskets through the first 12 minutes as the Mocs kept a comfortable double-digit lead. After that, Saint Leo Head Coach Mike Madagan let his junior guard, Quentin Cullop take control of the Lions, and he would respond by slowly and methodically cutting into the lead.
Four baskets from Cullop, including a set of three-pointers, sparked the Lions to a 17-6 run that put SLU in a perfect position for a miracle upset.
With the score at 82-80 and 3:30 left in the game, FSC's Rion Rayfield woke the Moccasin fans up with an NBA-range trey that opened the lead back to five.
A set of free-throws from Cullop with 2:50 left was the last of the Lions' scoring as hurried shots from the Lions went wide in the last 68 seconds and Florida Southern held on for the win.
This was just the Lions' second loss in the last eight games as Saint Leo outscored the Mocs 47-38 in the second half, but could not complete the comeback.
Cullop took the reigns as he scored 26 points in the loss. Newcomer Jamal Thompson, plagued by injury to begin the season, was the only other Lion in double-figures as he dropped in 12 points.
As a team, the Lions were outrebounded 42-to-37 and the Moccasins also made 45 percent (32-of-71) of their shots, compared to 43 percent (30-of-70) of SLU shots falling true. Saint Leo nearly doubled-up the hosts from behind the three-point arc as they made 11 treys, with FSC only hitting true six times.
The Lions will remain on the road as they travel to Boca Raton for a Valentine's Day showdown with Lynn University. Saint Leo will square off with the Fighting Knights on Saturday afternoon at 7:30 p.m. The game will be carried live on the Saint Leo Lions AudioCast Network.

Sean Jerguson grew up in southern end of Cherokee County. He attended college locally where he served in leadership roles on the Student Government and as a Vice President of the Student Government Association and earned both his undergraduate degree in Biology (BS) and Master's Degree in Public Administration (MPA) from Kennesaw State University
During this time and upon graduation, Sean continued his community service as a teacher. He substitute in the Cherokee County Public School System and then taught mathematics and chemistry at the high school level for five years.
In 2000, Sean started Jerguson Construction, Inc. and began a career as a developer, builder, and property owner. He was successful in building that business and it is still in operation today.
In 2008, in the midst of a falling economy, Sean felt the need to roll up his sleeves and create more jobs. He developed and opened Hi-Caliber, a gun store and indoor shooting range which now employs over 17 people from our community.
Not only has Sean served Cherokee County's children through teaching, but he has also served our community as a long standing elected official.

In 2004, he felt a higher calling. Sean ran unsuccessfully, for the Georgia State House of Representatives. It was a hard fought campaign and he lost to former State Representative whom the community knew better. Sean's passion and unwavering commitment to good government led him to try again just two years later. Sean won and was sworn into office as a State Representative in January of 2007.
Upon being elected to the House of Representatives, Sean rose in seniority, stature, and leadership. The Speaker immediately, seeing Sean's leadership capabilities, appointed Sean to several high profile committees and he served as the Vice Chairman of the powerful Regulated Industries committee. He has served as the Chairman of the Congressional Reapportionment Sub-Committee and as Chairman of the Cherokee County Legislative Delegation. In January 2013, Sean made an unsuccessful bid for the Georgia State Senate to fill an unexpired term. Although this endeavor was unsuccessful, Sean's commitment to out community is unwavering and as strong as ever. He recently has accepted a board position with the Cherokee/Pickens County Scout Council and coach's baseball and football within Cherokee County.
Sean along with his wife, Kate, and their two children, Eli and Claire, reside in Holly Springs, GA. They are actively involved at First Baptist Church Woodstock.

Cuba: More than 23 dissidents arrested and viciously beaten
Only God knows how much more the Cuban people can take of the magnanimous and marvelous "reforms" being implemented by Cuba's apartheid Castro dictatorship. The latest recipients of this benevolence ended up bloodied and with broken ribs.
Cuban Democracy Leader Savagely Beaten
The Castro regime arrested over 23 dissidents from the Cuban Patriotic Union (UNPACU) today, as they tried to gather for a regional meeting of the organization in the province of Villa Clara.
Among those arrested was Sakharov Prize winner, Guillermo Farinas, who was savagely beaten and held in a freezing cell.
Farinas suffered two broken ribs from the beating.
More "reform" you can't believe in.

Read Poems by
Brenda Ints
What can you gain , what can you lose.
When it comes time for you to choose.
For the choices you have to make each day.
Is how we all have to find our way.
Do you listen to others , or follow your heart.
Do you stand in the shadows , or create your own path.
Do you grab on to fear , and hold onto doubt.
For these seem to find you , they seek you out.
This is what stops you before you start.
When it comes time to follow your heart.
So what can you gain and what will you lose.
When it comes time for you to choose.
You will gain what is truely in your heart.
And lose the fear , to create your own path.

Taylor Swift Dishes on Her Only Long Relationship — With This Scot!
Taylor Swift's romances have been a hot topic recently, so you might be excirted to know that now she's talking about what could be the love of her life: her cat, Meredith.
Did we fool you? But seriously, the pop star loves her cute Scottish Fold — a rare breed which boasts droopy ears and can sell for up to $1,000 — and she much prefers a night in with her cat than spending time with a guy.
"Meredith is such a cute cat. She looks like an owl," she tells BBC music program Top of the Pops. She's so chilled out. She's not impressed by anything. It's the one long-term relationship that I've had."
"I don't carry her in a purse or take her out to restaurants or anything like that, though. I'm not that kind of cat owner."
Taylor recently split from her boyfriend Harry Styles after their whirlwind romance came to an abrupt end in January — and all her other relationships, which include romances with Jake Gyllenhaal and John Mayer, came to similar ends .
Good thing felines stick by her side! The "I Knew You Were Trouble" hitmaker is so obsessed with cats she often spends her spare time watching video clips of furry kitties on the Internet.
And another meowy obsession?
"The app CatPaint, where you add cats to photographs. I CatPaint all my pictures."
Maybe Harry grew tired of Taylor CatPainting all of their photos together?

|Executive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
|(330) 941-2385
|Previous College:
|Youngstown State, 1993
Now in his 14th year as Executive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and 19th as a member of the athletic department, former Penguins student-athlete Ron Strollo has worked diligently to ensure that today's student-athletes have the support system in place to succeed not only at Youngstown State, but also in their future.
As evidenced by a league-best six Horizon League championships, a second-place finish for the McCafferty Trophy (the Horizon League's all-sports award), opening of new facilities, school-record breaking performances, all-time high fundraising levels and numerous academic honors during the 2013-14 academic year, his vision for successful broad-based programs and providing student-athletes tools to succeed on and off the playing fields is coming to fruition.
Always a firm believer that state-of-the-art facilities attract quality coaches and student-athletes, Strollo spearheaded an effort to build on-campus soccer and softball and outdoor track and field facilities. He also signed off on a new high-definition videoboard and LED scoreboard at the Beeghly Center for the sports of volleyball and men's and women's basketball.
After he secured a $500,000 naming-rights gift from Farmers National Bank, construction of Farmers National Bank Field was complete and the soccer program played its inaugural season at the new on-campus venue in the fall of 2013. In the spring of 2014, the softball program played its inaugural season at the YSU Softball Field and the men's and women's track and field team hosted the 2014 Horizon League Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Academically, the Penguins continued a standard of excellence in the classroom, boasting an all-time high 3.17 grade-point average at the end of the spring semester. Out of 331 student-athletes, an all-time best 201 (61 percent) recorded a grade-point average higher than 3.0. The Penguins led the Horizon League with 34 Academic All-Horizon League selections on the year, had 136 conference Honor Roll picks and 24 of 53 student-athletes graduated with honors.
As Executive Director of the Penguin Club, Youngstown State athletics' fundraising arm, Strollo led the development group to unprecedented growth in membership revenue and endowed scholarships.
Basketball Courtside Coaches Club membership revenues were up 13.63 percent from 2012-13 while Football Gridiron Club membership revenues increased 11.07 percent during the same time.
The number of endowed scholarships rose by 10.7 percent and the value of all endowed scholarships increased by more than 12 percent from 2012-13 to 2013-14.
On the fields of competition, the Penguins produced their best overall year of Strollo's tenure.
The women's cross country team began the Penguins' string of titles by winning its first Horizon League championship since joining the league. The Penguins placed three runners in the top five with senior Anna Pompeo finishing second, Samantha Hamilton placing fourth and freshman McKinisie Klim was fifth to win by 22 points.
Junior Eric Rupe won the individual championship to pace the men's cross country team to a runner up finish.
The football team went 8-4, winning the most games since 2006, and finished tied for second in the Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC) and 18th nationally in the final SportsNetwork poll. Quarterback Kurt Hess finished his career as the school-record holder for completions (706), attempts (1,135), yards (8,925), touchdowns (75), yards per game (198.4), 200-yard passing games (24), passer rating (144.96), touchdowns responsible for (87), total offense (9,459) and total offense per game (210.2).
Freshman tailback Martin Ruiz, the 2013 MVFC Newcomer and Freshman of the Year, set school freshmen records with 192 attempts, 1,094 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns. His 1,094 yards were the second most by a freshman in a season in conference history.
The volleyball program continued to show improvement under Head Coach Mark Hardaway, posting back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1998-99. The Penguins went 16-15 in 2013 and made the Horizon League Tournament semifinals for the first time since 1999.
Senior Jenna Cavanaugh was named the Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year while junior Alexis Egler joined her on the All-Horizon League team.
The Penguins won their second title of the year when the women's track and field team won the Horizon League Indoor Track and Field Championship by 80 points at The Watson and Tressel Training Site (WATTS) in March.
Senior Bobby Grace finished third in the shot put at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships on March 15 in Albuquerque, N.M., to become the highest-finishing Penguin individual at a Division I national championship meet in any sport.
The women's basketball team won 15 games and reached the Horizon League Tournament semifinals for the second straight season. The Penguins also swept the season series from perennial league favorite Green Bay for the first time in school history.
On the men's side, senior Kendrick Perry, a Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America Second-Team selection, led YSU to 15 victories and became the program's Division I leading scorer with 1,991 career points. The win total marks the third straight campaign with at least 15 victories in a season for the first time since the mid-1980's.
The 2013-14 school year culminated with arguably the best spring season in athletics history. In a span of 30 days, April 25-May 24, the Penguins won four Horizon League championships in women's tennis (April 27), men's and women's track and field (May 4) and baseball (May 24).
Along with the league championships, the baseball team won its first NCAA Regional Tournament game over Indiana State, 5-2, and nine track and field athletes qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Preliminaries. Bobby Grace and Connor Neu advanced to the track and field national championships and finished 14th and 15th in the shot put and hammer throw, respectively, to earn second-team All-America honors.
The softball program played its inaugural season at the new YSU Softball Field and posted just the second 30-win season in program history with an overall record of 30-24. Senior Casey Crozier was named the Horizon League Pitcher of the Year while sophomore Miranda Castiglione earned Co-Player-of-the-Year honors. Freshman Sarah Dowd was named the league Freshman of the Year.
The 2012-13 campaign featured outstanding team accomplishments while setting the table for a great two-year run. In the fall of 2012, the football program picked up the first win over a BCS opponent in school history; the soccer team set a school mark for most wins in a season and the volleyball program posted a 10-win improvement from the year before.
The men's and women's basketball program's made postseason tournament in the same season for the first time in school history. The women's team went 23-10 and qualified for the WNIT while the men's program posted an 18-16 overall record and earned a berth in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament.
Swimmer Ashley Dow became the first Penguin to ever win two events at the Horizon League Championship meet.
In the spring, the women's tennis team went 15-10 in 2012-13 after winning 12 matches combined over the previous three seasons.
After qualifying for the Horizon League tournament on the final day of the regular season, the softball program made an exciting run to the Horizon League championship game before being eliminated.
Women's golfer Allison Mitzel won the conference title by seven strokes and the team posted a runner-up finish.
Besides facility improvements, Strollo has also concentrated his priorities on full compliance of NCAA regulations; fiscal management and budgetary maintenance; streamlining department organization; increasing visibility and fundraising efforts; and enhancing the overall experience and competitiveness of student-athletes and programs.
During his tenure, Strollo has placed a priority on the construction and enhancements of athletic venues. The WATTS, a $12.3 million indoor athletic practice facility, was completed in the summer of 2011. The WATTS includes a state-of-the-art 300-meter indoor track, a full-length football practice field, baseball and softball batting cages, netting and a chipping and putting green for golf, and locker rooms and office space.
During the summer of 2011, Beede Field at Stambaugh Stadium underwent a new turf installation. Other recent improvements to Stambaugh Stadium have included: renovations to assistant football coaches offices, new softball and soccer locker rooms, north-stadium scoreboard enhancements with new signage, lighting, and advanced safety precautions for videographers.
Within the auxiliary gyms in Stambaugh, 18 new glass blackboards were mounted, and the courts were refinished. Three full-length courts were created during the process providing the basketball and volleyball programs with additional practice and workout space.
Within the past six years in Stambaugh Stadium, office space in the athletic marketing and ticket offices and football suite received an enhancement, the football locker room, weight room and athletic training areas were renovated, and upgrades were made to the baseball locker room. Other upgrades include chair-back seats (2009), a south-stadium scoreboard (2009), a concourse-level elevator.
The Beeghly Center has undergone major renovations in the past six years as well. The main lobby was refurbished in the summer of 2014 with new flooring, murals and ticket and merchandise booths. During the spring of 2013, a new weight room was constructed while installation of a new videoboard and film room was completed for the 2013-14 school year. Youngstown State has acquired in the arena the 2009 Men's Final Four basketball hoops, installed new strobe lighting, refurbished the volleyball, swimming and diving, and men's and women's basketball locker rooms and renovated the men's and women's basketball office suite. A new Dom Rosselli Court was installed in 2008.
For the baseball program, Strollo has maintained a long-time relationship with Eastwood Field, the home of the Cleveland Indians' Class-A affiliate, and Cene Park.
His solid reputation has landed him on prominent regional and national committees. He is currently on the Horizon League men's basketball committee. He served on the NCAA Division I Football Championship Selection Committee; was on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee; served as the Central Region Chair of the NCAA Regional Advisory Committee and as the president of the FCS Athletic Directors Association. He also served a two-year term as the Chair of the Horizon League Executive Committee and spent four years on the NCAA Championship and Competition Cabinet.
Thanks to the benevolence of the Andrews Trust and the priority Strollo places on academics, the academic counseling center underwent a significant renovation and expansion and continues to receive technology upgrades.
In the past 11 years, the department, which has been recognized as a national leader for its graduation rates, has had many successes on and off the playing field.
Under his leadership, Youngstown State earned full NCAA certification in 2007. This review of governance and commitment to rules, academic integrity, and equity and student-athlete well-being showed YSU athletics operates in substantial conformity with the operating principles adopted by the NCAA Division I membership.
As of late, Youngstown State student-athletes posted a record-setting semester in the classroom. In the 2013-14 academic year, the Penguins set all-time program highs for combined cumulative grade-point average (spring semester) and number of athletes with a cumulative GPA above 3.0 (fall and spring semester) while a record 61 percent had a semester GPA above 3.00.
In eight of the nine semesters since January 2010, YSU student-athletes have maintained a 3.00-GPA or better.
On average, half of the 300-plus student-athletes maintain a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher. Of the 18 sports programs, 75 percent boast an overall GPA of at least 3.0. YSU's Academic Progress Rate is well above the national average for public institutions, and its 93 percent graduation rate is at an all-time high.
Sixteen student-athletes have captured 18 CoSIDA Academic All-America accolades while a total of 65 have been named to Academic All-District teams.
YSU has won 20 Horizon League titles while winning consecutive Gateway Football Conference (now the Missouri Valley Football Conference) championships in 2005 and 2006.
In Strollo's role as the Executive Director of the Penguin Club, the organization has increased athletic endowed scholarship contributions annually. Annual events keep improving every year, and the growth of the Football Alumni Club has had a positive impact on the department.
Strollo returned to his alma mater in 1996 as athletic business manager. In March 2000, he was named the school's Associate Executive Director of Athletics. In his short time in that capacity, he helped spearhead the transition into the Horizon League.
He has strong ties to the local community and to the athletic department. He grew up in nearby Austintown and attended Fitch High School. He played football for YSU from 1988 through 1991 for Coach Jim Tressel and was named captain of the first National Championship team in 1991. He earned his bachelor's degree in accounting from Youngstown State in June, 1993. He worked for three years at Hill Barth & King in Youngstown where he became a CPA.
Ron and his wife, Nicole, reside in Austintown with their two children, Ryan and Rachel. Nicole, a former YSU student-athlete who competed in track and cross country from 1989 through 1993, is an assistant cross country/track and field coach for the Penguins. She is also a nurse practitioner and faculty member in YSU's Department of Nursing.

...students want a lot of things. That's why they're students and not administrators. So all these women reported unwanted touching or even forced intercourse. Shame they didn't report all this to the police. No instead they want to get paid to force males to take classes they don't want to take as a condition for taking classes at school. And that all makes sense to you? Suppose that a bunch of male students got a grant from Playboy to fund their push to get female students to walk around in short skirts and low-cut dresses as a condition of enrollment. Would you be up for that? Should the fact that 800 guys at AU sign up for this, write in support of this, really get your motor running, Amanda? Or is the only thing that you care about the fact that DoJ gave a lot of money to a school to try to force guys to do things that women want, that the guys don't want to do?
...it's always fun to see women get into a position of power and then engage in the same sort of sexist crap that men used to engage in and rationalize it in a similar way. Maybe women actually *should* attend an all-girls' college and even then only to prepare them for marriage and life as a homemaker. Can we get a grant for that?
Remember: it's a great idea if it stops just *one* rape.

O.k., thought I'd give an update. Got the PC side working. Ended up setting a classpath as an environment variable. This classpath stuff is as clear as mud. Will have to get more experience using it. Someone off-list sent me an example RPG program that invokes notepad.exe. And this really works like a charm! Unfortunately, I tried using "mailto:dan2@xxxxxxxxx" (using my real address) as a command sent to the data queue, but got: Command to be Executed = mailto:dan2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx did not start :java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: mailto:dan2@xxxxxxxxx error=2 ... even though this works from within the Windows Run dialog box. So... How can I find out how to start an Outlook "Create New Email" window, plugging in recipient email address, subject, and body text? This is Outlook 2002. Presume that Outlook is already running.

The University of Colorado's Division of Continuing Education has come a long way from its humble beginnings in young Macky Auditorium where burlap bags separated staff space in 1912 and the division offered 28 correspondence courses in 11 fields. Today, Continuing Education partners with CU's academic departments to offer flexible credit courses representing 35 departments and multiple programs granting nontraditional students and community members access to campus.
Michael Radelet, professor of sociology, is an expert on the use of the death penalty in Colorado and the United States. He has documented all of Colorado's executions and notes that Colorado abolished the penalty between 1897 and 1901, came within one vote of abolishing it again in 2009 and has executed only one person since 1967. "We've always debated the death penalty in Colorado, and the general thrust of our history is in the direction of abolition," he said.
Kenneth Foote, professor of geography, studies how events of violence and tragedy are memorialized and remembered.

Three recent experimental campaigns at Los Alamos National Laboratory have required unique application of traditional machining techniques to manufacture the components. For pRad experiments at Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANCE), unique planar targets with varying profiles required unique fixturing: a custom programming software to create concentric rings with a 2-deg taper that had five different sine waves machined across the face. Also, experiments using P8 modulated capsules for Asymmetric Burn Experiment (ABEX) experiments at Omega made use of a water-soluble ultraviolet-curable glue, which was used for holding and locating purposes during machining operations to produce an indicating datum, as well as a custom fixturing system, which allowed the ability to apply the impression gum from behind. Finally, for the milling of a 125-m-thick silica aerogel for dense-plasma equation-of-state experiments, we used an ultraprecision milling machine with a high-speed spindle and precise positional accuracy that permits micrometer depth of cuts at higher feed rates, which allowed for a reduction in machining time.

The trustees of the Democratic Media Trust of Namibia will sell Desert Trade Investments, a company that currently holds 50 percent shares in Democratic Media Holdings (DMH), to Stimulus Investments.
According to a statement signed by founding and first trustee of the Democratic Media Trust of Namibia, Dirk Mudge, Stimulus Investments is ideally positioned to present itself as a unique empowerment partner.
The existing 50 percent shareholding of Media24 is unaffected by the transaction.
Former politician Dirk Mudge and the late Dr Jan Spies created the trust in 1989 as a private charitable trust, for the benefit of the people of Namibia.
The trustees established Democratic Media Holdings in 1992, a printing and publishing media company, with Mudge as chairman of the Board, a position that he held until January 2008, when he retired at the age of 80.
His daughter, Chrisna Greeff, was appointed managing director of DMH in 1995, and then took over from him as executive chairman of the Board of Directors.
DMH currently publishes the Afrikaans daily newspaper Republikein, the German daily newspaper Allgemeine Zeitung and the English daily newspaper Namibian Sun. It owns Newsprint Namibia, which currently prints all Namibian newspapers, as well as commercial publications.
According to the statement, because of the isolation in which the company found itself in terms of technical knowledge, buying power on consumables and Afrikaans journalistic training and development, the Trust took the decision in 2007 to sell a 50 percent shareholding in DMH to Media24, an established publishing and printing company in South Africa.
Since the Trust has never received any dividends from its sole investment in DMH as all profits were re-invested in the growth and expansion of the company, and thus could not fulfill its obligation in terms of the Deed of Trust to serve the Namibian people with education, a decision was then taken to donate the proceeds from shares to Media24.
The proceeds were then donated to the Polytechnic of Namibia, with the wish that the donation be utilised to establish a media training facility. Since such a well-equipped facility already existed, and since the Polytechnic was in dire need of a hospitality training facility, the Trust agreed that its donation be utilised as the Polytechnic saw fit.
According to the Trust, it has successfully fulfilled its objective to serve the Namibian people and it is time for a new direction, thus it has taken a decision to realise its investment in media in order to concentrate its efforts in investing in broad-based technical and vocational training, in development projects and job creation among marginalised communities in Namibia.
A Scholarship Fund for technical and vocational training, and a Development Fund for community development through the establishment of sustainable projects will be established and funded by the Trust through the sale of its shares in DMH.
By so doing, Mudge as founding and first trustee of the Trust, will leave the legacy he pledged to the people of Namibia in 1989. He also started a process to broaden the board of trustees to make it more representative of the people of Namibia, and is currently having discussions in this regard.
Greeff, who will vacate her position as executive chairman of the Board of Directors of DMH on November 30, 2012, will take care of the management of the affairs of the Trust according to the Deed of Trust.
Stimulus Investments also confirmed that it has concluded agreements whereby, conditional to the approval of the Namibian Competition Commission, it intends to make an investment in DMH.
"Stimulus successfully raised N$250 million in 2011 with the intention to apply that capital in quality Namibian businesses and DMH is a prime example of that," the managing director of Stimulus Investments, Monica Kalondo, said.
According to Kalondo, Stimulus has invested in various Namibian businesses and the basis of any of its investment is that of a strategic investor with no operational involvement.
"This approach is particularly useful on the newspaper side of this transaction since maintaining editorial independence is key to any media outlet," she emphasised.
Once approval of the Namibian Competition Commission is obtained, Monica Kalondo and Rein van Veen will represent Stimulus on the Board of DMH.
Stimulus will appoint an additional two independent, non-executive directors of its choice to ensure that the Board enjoys the benefit of diversity and a balanced combination of strategic skills.
The Media24 appointees will not be affected by the transaction. Stimulus is a Namibian investment company focused on investing in established, successfully operating Namibian companies.
The bulk of the empowerment shareholding in Stimulus is apportioned between the Mukwamhalanga Tukondjeni Community Trust, the Disability Benefit Trust, the Vita Thom Scholarship Fund Trust and the Stimulus Trust.
With the exception of the Stimulus Trust, all the trusts are independent from Stimulus, have independent trustees and are free to source additional funding elsewhere.
In addition to the above broad-based shareholding, Stimulus is majority owned and controlled by empowerment individuals and entities, with a wholly owned Namibian business, Pointbreak, being a substantial minority shareholder.
The individual shareholders in Stimulus are Sisa Namandje, Wilhelm Shali and Monica Kalondo.

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 1/2/13
Two things are readily apparent after Tim Tebow's three years in the NFL. First, he is not ever going to be a good traditional quarterback. Second, he does not want to — or cannot — be used primarily as an option player, such as in wildcat sets. But what is still undetermined is whether Tebow can be a good, run-oriented quarterback if given the right offense. Former Florida coach Urban Meyer, who led Tebow to Heisman and national championship glory in college, says he thinks Tebow still has plenty of room to succeed in the NFL — and it doesn't require a one-of-a-kind situation. Meyer says several other NFL teams are already using systems that could make the most of Tebow's unique skills, and that Tebow's success depends on the next team he plays for taking advantage of such an approach. "We watched [Robert Griffin III] at the Washington Redskins, [Russell] Wilson at the Seahawks, the new quarterback [Colin Kaepernick] at the 49ers, and Carolina [with Cam Newton], and they are actually running a spread offense in the NFL," Meyer said on Mike and Mike in the Morning. "So my hope is, and I'm sure Tim feels the same way, is to go play in one of those systems where they let him play." A spread offense lets an athletic, run-oriented quarterback work out of the shotgun, running the usual pass plays, handing off or making rushes of his own, which has been Tebow's strength. The quarterbacks Meyer mentioned have all excelled in the setup this year. Newton and Griffin have especially been able to gain yardage with their feet as well as rack up the passing yards, a feat that usually doesn't transition from college to the pro game. The one catch, though, is that all the quarterbacks Meyer mentioned have one distinct advantage over Tebow: They can throw. Tebow still struggles with his accuracy and release time, which was a serious impediment for him even in Denver, where the Broncos reshaped the offense to better suit Tebow's skills. Tebow was also a great runner in college because of his size more than his strength, whereas Newton, Griffin, Wilson and Kaepernick are faster, more athletic quarterbacks. Tebow is almost definitely headed to a new team after the Jets failed to find a way to use him in their offense this season. A major factor in where he lands will be whether the new team is prepared to use him from the quarterback spot, where Tebow says he wants to play (rather than as a halfback, tight end or special teams option). At least, Meyers appears to be saying, it can be done.

After the end of World War II, the Federal Republic of Germany experienced an era of political restoration and rapid economic recovery under Chancellor Konrad Adenauer (1949-63) that culminated in the Wirtschaftswunder (economic miracle). A collective focus on consumerism swept aside concerns about coming to terms with the National Socialist past and its crimes, as well as questions of collective guilt. Since 1947 an informal association of young authors, who had returned from prisoner-of-war camps, gathered bi-annually, later annually, in literary workshops to raise questions about suppressed issues of guilt and punishment, of responsibility and individual courage and the possibility of a truly new …

Cat Zingano No Longer Getting UFC Title Shot
Former #1 contender and would-be TUF coach, Cat Zingano will once again have to prove herself worthy of a shot at UFC gold.
After being sidelined more than a year with injury, UFC President Dana White has now confirmed she is no longer in the immediate title picture.
FOX's Damon Martin has it:
Dana White says Cat Zingano is still No. 1 contender, but she will probably fight again before getting Rousey or Alexis Davis #UFC

ICELAND's 270 000 citizens are a dream come true for genetics researchers. One thousand years of near-isolation has meant that their ancestry can be traced right back to the original Viking and Irish settlers. With their medical records, which stretch back a century, the genes of Icelanders offer scientists unparalleled opportunities to map the evolution of human diseases.
Iceland's parliament realises this and is about to cash in its people's legacy. It is on the verge of passing a bill that would authorise the creation of a single database containing genetic, genealogical and medical details about all Icelanders. The bill would also license deCode Genetics, a private company in Reykjavík funded mainly by American investors, to manage the database. deCode has already signed a $200-million deal with Hoffman-La Roche, the Swiss-based pharmaceuticals company, for exclusive access to the database to probe the genetic origins of 12 common diseases

CRESTVIEW - A man told police officers he tried to shoplift packs of World of Warcraft cards because he left his wallet in his car, according to an arrest report.
On Dec. 23 a loss prevention employee at Walmart called Crestview Police about the incident.
The employee said he saw the 26-year-old Crestview man come into the store and choose five packages of World of Warcraft "War of the Ancients" cards from a display near the cash registers.
The man walked to the electronics department and put the packages in his jacket pocket, then tried to leave the store through the garden center.
The cards were valued at $19.90.
The man told officers he was stealing the cards to give to his cousin for Christmas. He had enough money to pay for the cards, he continued, but left his wallet in his car. When asked why he simply didn't go back out to his car and get his wallet, the man is quoted as saying, "I just wasn't thinking straight, sir."
He was charged with retail theft. His court date is Jan. 29.

"In Cahoots!": CFCC program to raise awareness of challenges of students with disabilities
Cape Fear Community College is pleased to present "In Cahoots!", a film screening and interactive program hosted by Jeremy Vest from MTV's series "How's Your News?" on Thursday, April 12 at 2 p.m.  This groundbreaking series of short films chronicled a group of people with disabilities as they traveled around the country. The event will be held in room S-002 on the ground floor of the McLeod Building.
According to CFCC English instructor Dylan Patterson, who helped organize the event, the purpose of the program is to raise awareness within the general student population and the greater Wilmington community about the unique challenges of living with a disability.
After a screening of clips from "How's your News?" Â Jeremy will discuss what it's like to live with a disability, share stories about making films and being on TV, and answer audience questions.
As a complement to Jeremy's visit, students in CFCC's Adult High School, Basic Skills, Video Production, and Acting programs are collaborating on a short video to be screened during the event. Entries in an art contest, featuring portraits of CFCC students with disabilities by art students, will be on display as well.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Gov. Rick Perry said emphatically Saturday that the Boy Scouts of America shouldn't soften its strict no-gays membership policy, and dismissed the idea of bending the organization to the whims of "popular culture."
Perry is an Eagle Scout and in 2008 he authored the book "On My Honor: Why the American Values of the Boy Scouts Are Worth Fighting For." It detailed the governor's deep love for the organization and explained why it should continue to embrace traditional, conservative values — including excluding openly gay members and Scout leaders.
America's longest-serving governor addressed the Texas Scouts' 64th annual Report to State, where hundreds of Scouts from around Texas filled the state House of Representatives to announce their delegation's recent accomplishments.
Perry has addressed the gathering several times before, most recently in 2010, but not since the announcement that the Scouts' national leadership is mulling scrapping the mandatory exclusion of gay members. Instead, the group could allow different religious and civic groups that sponsor Scout units to decide for themselves how to address the issue — either maintaining the exclusion or opening up their membership.
Even though the Boy Scouts reaffirmed the no-gays policy just seven months ago, the proposal is expected to be discussed, and possibly voted on, at the meeting of the Scouts' national executive board, which begins Monday in Irving, outside Dallas.
Perry told the youngsters that the Scouts was a key reason he joined the U.S. Air Force and later sought public office, and that society's failure to adhere to the organization's core values was a cause for high rates of teen pregnancy and wayward youth who grow up to be "men joining their fathers in prison."
Speaking to reporters afterward, Perry said: "Hopefully the board will follow their historic position of keeping the Scouts strongly supportive of the values that make Scouting this very important and impactful organization."
"I think most people see absolutely no reason to change the position and neither do I," Perry said. He said his views on the subject haven't changed since writing his book, in which he noted that profits would be donated to the Boy Scouts of America Legal Defense since "they continue to be under attack from the forces of secularism."

Society's focus is on helping others
Published at 11:12, Thursday, 04 October 2012
CHECKING food labels, crossing the road or making a cup of tea might seem mundane, but for people with sight problems, they can be major tasks.
Help is at hand from West Cumbria Society for the Blind, which provides essential gadgets and support for people who are partially-sighted or registered blind.
It offers specialist equipment, information leaflets and gadgets and also provides emotional support through various clubs, home visits and a voluntary phone scheme.
Marie Scott, chairman of the society, said: "A lot of people say that if it wasn't for us they wouldn't know where to go for help."
Clubs are held in Whitehaven, Workington, Maryport and Cockermouth, where members take part in activities such as listening to guest speakers, going out for lunch and playing a variety of games. Members of the Whitehaven group have spoken to The News about the support they receive from the society.
Freda Lloyd, 77, is registered as partially blind. She lost the sight in her left eye when she was seven years old after having whooping cough. She is starting to lose the sight in her right eye.
Freda says she has benefited from a variety of practical and valuable aids, including a large powerful lamp and raised-up plastic dots which can be used on a variety of electrical appliances such as television controls, washing machine controls and the cooker.
"It's so simple but really helpful," she said. "You can put them on your phone, you put them on the number five in the middle of the phone key pad and work out where the rest of the numbers are from there."
She has regular home visits from Pat Fitzgerald, from the society.
Martha Dziatkowski, 76, of Cleator Moor, has been registered blind for about 20 years and has been supported by the society for the same amount of time. "I know they are there, you can just pick the phone up and they're there to help," she said.
Elsie Donaldson, 81, of Cleator Moor, has age-related macular degeneration and has been going to the society for about a year. She says she has difficulty making meals and cooking, but she is helped by her family.
The three said that among the main problems they face is that people don't realise that they have sight problems and are intolerant. They say it is difficult to cross the road, go shopping or look for bus numbers.
Freda said: "If you go somewhere, you have to remember what the kerbs are like – whether they are deep or shallow. As I live in Frizington, I have to remember when to avoid the steps along pavements."
Tasks like reading cooking instructions or food labels are also difficult.
They say they have all received help and support from the society to enable them to complete daily tasks, which would otherwise be impossible.
They praised the work of all the volunteers, and additional thanks go to Marie.
"She is a one-off. She does so much work and has given up so much of her time to help us," they said.
Couple Phyllis and John Lee, from Cleator Moor, says they have been helped greatly by the society over the years. Phyllis, 68, is registered blind and is cared for by her husband, John. They have bought aids such as talking clocks, watches and talking books through the Society. They regularly attend the Whitehaven club to play dominoes, Scrabble and other games.
Phyllis said: "John is such a great help. I couldn't cope without him."
John added: "Having the help from the society makes it easier for us. I still have do everything at home, but the society has helped us so much."
The centre on Lowther Street stocks a wide range of specialist equipment and gadgets are on display for people to try out and purchase.
Bill Rigg, 83, of Beckermet, has tried out an audio text reader. This is a device which takes photographs of writing and reads it back to the person. It also stores books which you can play back later and a screen can be attached to it.
Bill, who has age-related macular degeneration, said: "I think it's absolutely brilliant. My eyesight has gone downhill over the years which has been difficult as I've always been a big reader."
He is set to have a fortnight trial with the machine to see whether he wants to purchase it. "I'm really impressed by it," he said.
Information leaflets on eye conditions and financial benefits are available at the centre along with a large selection of talking books.
A visiting scheme is provided by the society, where staff visit members to have a chat and make sure they have all the equipment they need. There is also a phone service, where volunteers and staff can ring members and have a chat over the phone.
Marie said that although the team is based in Whitehaven, volunteers and staff cover around 750 square miles of Cumbria, from Wigton down to Ravenglass.
The society is able to provide a variety of services, thanks to financial support from the Big Lottery fund, and money from local businesses and organisations.
Pat said: "One of the biggest concerns we have is funding. Our Big Lottery funding runs out in August next year."
She said the society runs so successfully because of the funding it receives and the work of the volunteers. It has contracts with the pension service and Cumbria and Fire Rescue Service to provide additional help for people with sight problems.
A low-vision clinic is available at Workington Infirmary where people can access the services through the West Cumbria Society for the Blind. Staff say they must have had an opticians appointment in the last six months. People can also be referred to via their optician and hospital consultants.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsHow To Engine
2002 Ford Mustang GT - On the Brink of Insanity
Procharger, Aeromotive, And House Of Boost Prep Our 2002 Ford Mustang GT For Ridiculous Two-Valve Power
Horse Sense: Centrifugal superchargers, '99-'04 Mustang GTs, and horsepower go together like a hand in a glove these days. Throughout the country, and in many parts of the world, New Edge 'Stangs prowl the streets with the distinctive whistle of blowers chirping underhood. While we don't want to slight other power adders, we have to hand it to the blower for moving to the forefront as the Two-Valve 4.6 crowd's adder of choice.
We hope you've been following our series on '99-'04 Mustang GT performance upgrades this past year and have learned a thing or two about stepping up a New Edge's program when it comes to making horsepower.
With your tech editor using his wife's daily driven '02 GT as the sacrificial lamb-for the sake of science, of course-our tests have ranged from mild to wild. Along the way, they have shown the power-gain potential and threshold of a bone-stock 4.6 engine.
While our game plan from the outset has been to perform various upgrades to enhance all aspects of the test car's performance (front/rear suspension, 8.8 rear upgrades, and so on), the need for speed always steers our thoughts back to changes that we hope will gain the most performance from the engine. Apparently, this tunnel vision is a gearhead's natural way of thinking.
Our first foray into the land of supercharging the Two-Valve 'Stang was the installation of ATI-ProCharger's P-1SC Stage II supercharger system ("Beyond Bolt-On," Jun. '06, p. 78). For this effort, we called on our good friend, Dorian Comeau of ProCharger. He came to the West Coast to install the blower and intercooler. He also conducted an interesting study on thermal dynamics with us; we found that oil in a self-contained blower such as the P-1SC is generally cooler than engine oil at idle, and especially under load. We also looked at the entry-level street supercharger's ability to generate more horsepower and torque from our stocker and all that's involved when it comes to properly tuning a boost-induced Two-Valve.
Since our '02 is a daily driver, the one thing we've been earnest about preserving the integrity of is the 'Stang's streetability. Having a mega-horsepower, towed-everywhere, NMRA race Mustang is one thing, but these days, true Zen for most 'Stangbangers is to have the best of both worlds: the performance of a race car with street manners to make the car fun to drive on a regular basis.
We realize that last sentiment can be considered a Catch-22, as sometimes sacrifices must be made when a street car moves deeper into the modified zone. We're doing our best to maintain our '02's street persona, in spite of the supercharger upgrade featured in this report.
That's right, kids. Hopefully you've followed along and noted the right moves we've made by setting up our 'Stang for handling the fury of a monster blower ("Big-Boost Bullet," Nov. '06, p.100; "Stock Exchange," Jan. '07, p.146). We let on a long time ago that our plan is to bring you the "how to" info on making pump gas/street driveable horsepower with ProCharger's F-1A supercharger. It's an idea that has made many a 'Stangbanger shake his head with disbelief and express sincere and sometimes sarcastic, "there's no way you can use it on the street" opinions.
From a legal standpoint, the naysayers are correct. The F-1A is ProCharger's first-level race supercharger, and other units in the F-Series (F-1C, F-1, F-2, F-3, and so on), don't carry the California Air Resources Board Executive Order numbers that the company's P-Series blowers (50-state-legal, smog-law-compliant) are badged with. From a practicality standpoint, we agree: The F-1A isn't the most practical supercharger to choose for a daily driver application, but it's the coolest, and we know it can be done.
Making horsepower is one thing, and we've been steadily accumulating the right pieces to do so. But sustaining high power levels without suffering catastrophic parts damage-commonly referred to as supporting X-amount of horsepower-is much more important.
ProCharger's '96-'04 Mustang GT/Cobra F-1A supercharger is designed to work well with small-displacement engines such as our 281ci D.S.S. Super MODular 4.6. Boost comes in early and yields greater torque, leveling the playing field between Two-Valves and '03-'04 Terminators. We're taking our blown Two-Valve project a step beyond the norm by installing and modifying the F-1A with a system of eight-rib, serpentine-beltdrive pulleys for the blower, crankshaft, alternator, A/C compressor, power-steering pump, and water pump.

The Voice
Adam Levine in Talks to Start Clothing Line
It's been a very big year for The Voice's Adam Levine. His band, Maroon 5, released their widely popular album, Overexposed, Adam coached NBC's hit music competition show, appeared on Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story, filmed Can a Song Save Your Life? with Keira Knightley, and started working working on a new celebrity fragrance.
And it looks like 2013 could prove to be an even bigger year. The New York Post reports that Adam is currently in talks to produce a new line of "fashion, accessories, and housewares for a mass retailer."
Also in talks to do the same is American Idol judge, Nicki Minaj. No word yet as to where the lines would be sold, but the Post compared Adam's potential deal to Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's partnership with Kohl's.
It's hard to imagine Adam designing clothing since he often wears tattered white T-Shirts, but we'd definitely be into the tattooed rocker coming out with a line of leather jackets!
Do you think Adam would make a good clothing line? Weigh in below!

Post-divorce couples often find themselves at events for their children:
Sporting events, piano recitals, graduations, weddings, even welcoming the first grandchild. This can be an especially stressful time for the children. Because of the way the parents have behaved up to this point, children worry about whether Mom and Dad will start fighting on the sidelines…
Will it be OK to invite the parent's new boyfriend or girlfriend OR who should they greet first, if both parents are at the event?
The negative effects of divorce go on long after the divorce decree is issued.
Recently, I had lunch with a Dr. John Shanken-Kaye, a prominent custody evaluator. His role as an evaluator is to advise the court of his opinion regarding with whom the children should live and who should make decisions. He conducts extensive interviews, writes reports of 100+ pages and appears in court. He remarked during our lunch that parents embroiled in a custody fight often come to his office and tell him:
"They just want what is in their child's best interest…"and then he tells them that they have already blown that idea by putting the matter in the court's hands! (…but he will try to salvage what he can.)
The lesson here: Parents can (and should) act in the best interests of their children. When parents make the affirmative choice to resolve issues and conflicts respectfully and peacefully through Collaborative Divorce, their children are relieved of future worries and there is no need to even think about a judge:
They see that their parents are able to communicate and be rational.
They stop being afraid of having their parents together at an event and are happy to have them both in attendance.
Through negotiation and compromise parents model appropriate ways to resolve conflict for their children as opposed showing them a scorched earth, winner take all approach to disagreements.
