A NEW adventure playground created using four miles of timber is set to amaze visitors to a wildlife park this summer.
The Skymaze playground at Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens in Burford opened to visitors on Saturday.
It includes interconnecting treehouses, slides and jungle bridges for visitors aged seven and upwards.
Sustainably grown timber, mainly grown on farms in the south of England, was sourced for the playground project.
Cotswold Wildlife Park primate keeper Hayley Rothwell said: "Skymaze is an amazingly fun addition to our playground.
"I love all of it, but my favourite part has to be the slides. It is great fun for kids and adults alike."
Visitors can climb it to get a bird's-eye view of the Bradwell Grove park.
It was built by Norfolk-based Curious Adventure Play Company.
A Mini-Manor treehouse for toddlers is also being built among the park's smaller trees and will include slides and activities.

Coelho, Paulo :
Paulo Coelho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the city where he now lives. His own life has in many ways been as varied and unusual as the protagonists of his internationally acclaimed novels. Like them, Paulo Coelho has followed a dream in a quest for fulfillment. His own dream, to be a writer, met with frustration throughout much of his early adult life, a time in which he worked at various professions, some of them materially rewarding but spiritually unfulfilling. "I always knew," he says, "that my Personal Legend, to use a term from alchemy, was to write." He was 38 when he published his first book. In 1970, after deciding that law school was not for him, he traveled through much of South America, North Africa, Mexico, and Europe. Returning to Brazil after two years, he began a successful career as popular songwriter. In 1974, he was imprisoned for a short time by the military dictatorship then ruling in Brazil. In 1980, he experienced one of the defining moments of his life: he walked the 500-plus mile Road of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. On this ancient highway, used for centuries by pilgrims from France to get to the cathedral said to house the remains of St. James, he achieved a self-awareness and a spiritual awakening that he later described in The Pilgrimage. Paulo Coelho once said that following your dream is like learning a foreign language; you will make mistakes but you will get there in the end. In 1988, he published The Alchemist, a novel that explores this theme, and it launched him as an international bestselling author. Specifically, Paulo Coelho is recognized for his powerful storytelling technique and the profound spiritual insights he blends seamlessly into his parables. Since then, The Alchemist has sold more than 11 million copies worldwide and has been translated into some 41 languages. In addition to The Pilgrimage and The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho has written luminous novels about the different streams of our lives, including By The River Piedra I Sat Down & Wept, The Valkyries, The Fifth Mountain, and Veronika Decides to Die. A winner of numerous literary prizes, Paulo Coelho is also a prominent speaker for humanitarian causes. In 1999, he received a Crystal Award for Artistic Achievement at the Davos Economic Forum Conference.
Chapter One
I have served a Lord who now abandons me into the hands of my enemies,"said Elijah. "God is God," the Levite replied. "He did not tell Moseswhether He was good or evil; He simply said: I am. He is everything thatexists under the sun--the lightning bolt that destroys a house, and thehand of man that rebuilds it." Talking was the only way to ward off fear; at any moment, soldiers wouldopen the door to the stable where they were hiding, discover them both,and offer the only choice possible: worship Baal, the Phoenician god, orbe executed. They were searching house by house, converting the prophetsor executing them. Perhaps the Levite would convert and escape death. But for Elijah therewas no choice: everything was happening through his own fault, and Jezebelwanted his head under all circumstances. "It was an angel of the Lord who obliged me to speak to King Ahab andwarn him that it would not rain so long as Baal was worshiped in Israel,"he said, almost in a plea for absolution for having heeded what the angelhad told him. "But God acts slowly; when the drought begins to takehold, Princess Jezebel will already have destroyed all who remain loyalto the Lord." The Levite said nothing. He was reflecting on whether he should convertto Baal or die in the name of the Lord. "Who is God?" Elijah continued. "Is it He who holds the swordof the soldier, the sword that executes those who will not betray the faithof our patriarchs? Was it He who placed a foreign princess on our country'sthrone, so that all this misfortune could befall our generation? Does Godkill the faithful, the innocent, those who follow the law of Moses?" The Levite made his decision: he preferred to die. Then he began to laugh,for the idea of death frightened him no longer. He turned to the young prophetbeside him and attempted to calm him. "Ask God, since you doubt Hisdecisions," he said. "I have accepted my fate." "The Lord cannot wish us to be massacred without mercy," insistedElijah. "God is all-powerful. If He limited Himself to doing only that whichwe call good, we could not call Him the Almighty; he would command onlyone part of the universe, and there would exist someone more powerful thanHe, watching and judging His acts. In that case, I would worship that morepowerful someone." "If He is all-powerful, why doesn't He spare the suffering of thosewho love Him? Why doesn't He save them, instead of giving might and gloryto His enemies?" "I don't know," said the Levite. "But a reason exists, andI hope to learn it soon." "You have no answer to this question." "No." The two men fell silent. Elijah felt a cold sweat. "You are terrified, but I have already accepted my fate," theLevite said. "I am going out, to bring an end to this agony. Each timeI hear a scream out there, I suffer, imagining how it will be when my timecomes. Since we've been locked in here, I have died a hundredfold, whileI could have died just once. If I am to be beheaded, let it be as quicklyas possible." He was right. Elijah had heard the same screams, and he had suffered beyondhis ability to withstand. "I'm going with you. I weary of fighting for a few more hours of life." He rose and opened the stable door, allowing the sun to enter and exposethe two men hiding there. The Levite took him by the arm, and they began to walk. If not for one thenanother scream, it would have seemed a normal day in a city like any other--asun that barely tingled the skin, the breeze coming from a distant oceanto moderate the temperature, the dusty streets, the houses built of a mixtureof clay and straw. "Our souls are prisoners of the terror of death, and the day is beautiful,"said the Levite. "Many times before, when I felt at peace with Godand the world, the temperature was horrible, the desert wind filled my eyeswith sand and did not permit me to see a hand's span before me. Not alwaysdoes His plan agree with what we are or what we feel, but be assured thatHe has a reason for all of this." "I admire your faith." The Levite looked at the sky, as if reflecting briefly. Then he turned toElijah. "Do not admire, and do not believe so much; it was a wagerI made with myself. I wagered that God exists." "You're a prophet," answered Elijah. "You too hear voicesand know that there is a world beyond this world." "It could be my imagination." "You have seen God's signs," Elijah insisted, beginning to feelanxiety at his companion's words. "It could be my imagination," was again the answer. "In actuality,the only concrete thing I have is my wager: I have told myself that everythingcomes from the Most High." The street was deserted. Inside their houses, the people waited for Ahab'ssoldiers to complete the task that the foreign princess had demanded: executingthe prophets of Israel. Elijah walked beside the Levite, feeling that behindeach door and window was someone watching him--and blaming him for whathad happened. "I did not ask to be a prophet. Perhaps everything is merely the fruitof my own imagination," thought Elijah. But, after what had occurred in the carpenter's shop, he knew it was not.
"More ambitious...that The Alchemist, it is lightened by Coelho's appropriately spare writing style...A thought-provoking personal tale."

Michael Rankine has moved to York on loan until the end of the season.
The 28 year old has made 35 appearances for Shots since joining in the summer of 2011 and has found the net 6 times.
Speaking to the Official Site as the deal was announced, gaffer Dean Holdsworth said.
'I would like to thank Michael for all he has done for the club and wish him well for the future.'
It seems unlikely Rankine will return in all honesty, and Holdsworth added that his move will free up some funds to bring in another striker until the summer.

Minnesota Digital Library Coalition Steering Committee Meeting June 10, 2005 MINITEX Conference Room, Andersen Library, U of M MINUTES Attending: Kristi Tornquist, Kathleen Flynn, Gay Galles, Michael Fox, Bill DeJohn, Keith Ewing, Daardi Sizemore, Marian Rengel, Eric Celeste, Jason Roy, Jim Dildine Guest: Todd Digby, MnSCU System Director of Libraries Introductions Chair Kristi Tornquist introduced Gay Galles, school library media specialist and program manager for media services at Moorhead High School, the newest member of the Minnesota Digital Library Coalition Steering Committee. Kristi also introduced Todd Digby, the new system director of libraries for Minnesota State Colleges and Universities. Annual meeting review Keith Ewing reported on the results of the June 6 Annual meeting of the Minnesota Digital Library. At least 50 percent of people attending had not been to either of our two previous meetings. More than 39 percent rated the meeting as excellent and more than 51 percent rated it as good. More than 90 percent said they were well informed about the conference. More than 38 percent rated the speakers and information provided as excellent and almost 53 percent rated them as good. (See attached evaluation report for further details.) Steering committee members recommended that we begin planning the next annual meeting now. Project manager's report Jim Dildine reported that 1,154 images from "Minnesota Reflections," complete with metadata, are ready for uploading to CONTENTdm. The Minnesota Historical Society is now scanning the final project that it will do for "Minnesota Reflections," the Bosse collection for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. At this point, if no images were to come from Type C projects, we will have scanned and gathered metadata on enough images to meet the project goals. Jim raised questions concerning archiving the images that are now part of the MDL. The committee discussed the issue at some length. Currently, MHS and the University of Minnesota are making back up copies of the images, but, as Eric Celeste pointed out, we did not make plans to archive these images. The back ups are on CDs, which have problems and aren't intended for archival purposes. The issues, Eric recommended, need more discussion, a plan and a decision. Michael Fox recommended that the committee have a discussion of the meaning of "archivable." The question he raised is "Do we now want to be worried about this?" Eric recalled that the MDLC Steering Committee minutes for 6/10/05 Page 1 MDLC steering committee had, in earlier meetings, decided that we weren't going to be concerned with archiving the work we would do, but suggested that we rethink that issue. Bill DeJohn asked about the costs involved. Eric said that we would want to discuss staff time, but that machine costs, for a start up project, would cost about $20,000. Bill pointed out that we may be able to get further funding support, perhaps a state budget line at some point, to support preservation. Eric pointed out that true archiving is a recurring cost. The steering committee sent the discussion and planning for archiving to the management team. "Minnesota Reflections" Keith raised the topic of contributor profiles and what we would include in those. Would they be a description of the collection? Jason said that as of now the descriptions are a combination of organizational descriptions and contributions to "Minnesota Reflections," as well as a link to the organization's Web site. Marian Rengel has agreed to edit this information. Daardi Sizemore asked how long the descriptions would be, and told the group that what she wrote for Minnesota State University, Mankato described the organization but not what they had contributed. Michael Fox recommended that the descriptions tell the public about the organization and what each photo collection is about to make the entry in the list more stable. The committee agreed to this approach. Budget update Marian reported on the current (2003) LSTA grant. We have most of the funds encumbered. Beyond those funds, we have approximately $17,000 available to spend before the September 15, 2005, end of the grant. Kristi asked if we thought of having a booth at the Minnesota Library Association meeting in Minneapolis in the fall. Bill said MLA charges for booths. Marian will ask LSTA if we could pay for this out of the grant. Would we want to spend some of these funds on the archiving equipment Eric discussed earlier? Eric said that, yes, we should, but we should not call it archiving equipment. Jason asked when we would get the essay from Tom Huffman, by early August so we could have it up? Marian said that was the plan. The committee recommended that we spend the $17,000 on MLA and on equipment. Eric recommended that if we want to move ahead on equipment, we should have a group talk about it. The UofM could host the equipment. Keith said we should also talk about the staff to do the work. We could also have a project to reburn the CDs to get one set of gold CDs, which are a better quality CD and the only currently available of archival quality, though that means that they will last only about 5 years before technology replaces them. The final agreement of the committee was to put three items on the list for spending the rest of the grant funding: a booth at MLA; staff time to copy to gold CDs the current "Minnesota Reflections" images; the cheapest dedicated server to store copies. Members then recommended that we also check into having a booth at the MEMO (Minnesota Educational Media Organization) meeting in Mankato in the fall, since their presentation schedule is full. (Booths there cost about $300.) The Next LSTA grant is on hold due to a possible shut down of state services. MDLC Steering Committee minutes for 6/10/05 Page 2 Sandbox Studio survey Keith is working with Kris Wetterlund and Scott Sayer on the survey of K-12 social studies teachers. He has reviewed a draft and the survey will go Monday to St. Cloud State University's Office of Sponsored Programs for Institutional Review Board approval. He reports that the survey looks long but is quick to complete. Kristi asked what sort of response we expect, and Keith reports that that is unknown. The committee expressed some concern since Gay Galles reports that teachers typically do not read e-mail in the summer and that teachers do not return to school until August 25. Kristi asked how long Sandbox Studios needs to analyze the results of the survey and if they could do a report in two weeks (in time for the grant deadline). Keith will check with Scott and raise these concerns. An additional timing problem is that the results of the summer survey are supposed to lead to focus groups. Training Marian reported that two metadata sessions, presented by Jason Roy (MHS) and John Chapman (UofM) are scheduled for June, one in Duluth on the 20th and the other in Mankato on the 22nd. Jason said they would like to role out new training sessions that educate people on the use of CONTENTdm. Future ideas included inviting Wayne Torborg from St. John's University to provide training to Minnesota Digital Library Coalition participants on color and digitization. Eric Celeste talked with Wayne after Wayne's presentation at the annual meeting where, according to Eric, where he had to cram a day's worth of information into one hour. Eric recommends that we plan a day-long session with Wayne, a hands-on session with good equipment for people to work on where they can learn how to do some of the basic things better. Michael Fox reported that Jason had raised questions about training end users on getting the most out of the MDL collections. How do they actually apply the images? We heard a really good presentation on using digital images in the classroom at the annual meeting. Gay Galles suggested that school library media specialists might benefit from some training so they can teach others and that there might be an opportunity for collaboration between the MDLC and MEMO. Kristi pointed out that we do have grant funding to provide training and asked what media specialist might want or need. People suggested developing a presentation on how to use the collection and then taking that presentation around the state. Others suggested a summer workshop and Gay recommended presenting it in the school districts on training days. Michael said that MHS has applied for an IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services) grant that could tie in as a curriculum development grant using primary source data. Also as an idea for training, Daardi said she heard from someone after Matt Lungerhausen (history faculty at Winona State University) presented at the annual meeting that there is a need to help people develop good metadata so that the metadata can better help researchers. Eric cautioned that Matt had recommended that we scan the backs of every image to provide all and any information there and Eric is reluctant to get people's hopes up that we will be able to do deeper and deeper metadata. The good thing is to get people like Matt and others to add knowledge into a database like ours to open up their minds and to see what possibilities it leads to. That kind of metadata discussion, Keith said, needs to be informed by our discussion of archiving the collection. MDLC Steering Committee minutes for 6/10/05 Page 3 The Steering Committee supported arranging training with Wayne and passed further action to the management team. State Fair participation with MINITEX MINITEX will have a 6,000-square-foot display area at the State Fair this year and is please that the Minnesota Digital Library will be partnering on developing that exhibit. Mary Parker and others are learning from the Science Museum of Minnesota how to develop an interactive exhibit. ELM and MNLINK will be the other two partners in the exhibit. MDLC will ask for volunteers from the steering committee and from the MDL listserv. Volunteers will need to be trained. Publicity for the launch of the Minnesota Digital Library We'll need to develop a press release and have materials ready, for the State Fair and for September. Marian will work on these. Presentations and training opportunities The committee further discussed the possibility of participating at the MLA fall conference and the possibility of having a booth at the MEMO conference. Keith reported that Sandbox Studios had some suggestions, such as Arts Educators of Minnesota Annual conference Nov. 4-5 and the Minnesota Council for the Social Sciences in the spring of 2006. People were concerned that this may be taking on work that we hadn't planned for, but that we could possibly do a standardized presentation to take to these meetings. Planning for 2005 LSTA grant We will probably need two selection committees, one for the images and one for the documents. Bill suggested we find out from current participants if they might have documents and images they want to contribute. Michael recommended that we want to end up with a critical mass of documents, a set of objects that are important to an audience, perhaps adding some utility to building this collection. For example, can we find a mass of objects that History Day participants might want or need? Eric recommended reviewing Minnesota's grades 6-12 social sciences curriculum standards for guidance. The current photo selection committee – Bonnie Wilson, Lisa Marohn, Jason Roy, Marian Rengel, Keith Ewing and Jim Dildine – could do the photos for the new grant. Gay suggested that people from the social science education community could help, too, and Michael offered support from MHS curriculum staff. The committee recommended that the photo selection committee convene to talk about how to get more participation. Publishing Agreement Committee members continue to have real concerns with this issue and the version of the document as revised by Iron World advisers. Michael asked where do we stand with Iron World if we do not sign the agreement. Kristi reminded the group that Jim had already signed a version with Iron World, but with no authority to do so. Keith suggested that Iron World might envision that they are a part of the MDLC. Michael suggested that they had agreed to participate as a contributor of a collection, as described in our membership form. Daardi asked if Iron World had MDLC Steering Committee minutes for 6/10/05 Page 4 seen our membership form. Jim said they had not. Our membership form makes participation clear, Daarid said. John asked if we could say that when you contribute, you sign something that says you understand the policy statement. Daardi repeated that that's what the membership form says. Organizational home for MDLC The members of MAGNOLIA, the organization that receives the LSTA grants the are funding the development of the Minnesota Digital Library, thought the MDL could and should go to MINITEX. It's members – Kristi Tornquist, Bill DeJohn, Wendy Lougee, and Joan Roca – were going to have Bill and Wendy discuss the issue further. Bill pointed out that MINITEX is an agent of the Higher Education Services Office (now the Minnesota Office of Higher Education) and that MINITEX is part of the University of Minnesota Libraries. What would being housed in MINITEX mean to applying for grants? Eric suggested that the MDLC would still be a coalition and that its members could apply for grants individually on behalf of the coalition. We are, he suggested, establishing a creative commons, a place to share this material, a resource we are building. Many other questions and concerns came out in discussion and the steering committee indicated that people needed to discuss this further and that Bill should check with HESO about making MINITEX the home of the MDLC. Future Funding Kristi reported that we are still waiting to hear about federal funding. She asked Todd Digby to touch bases with Mary Jacquart, the MnSCU lobbyist. Kristi has spoken again with a lobbyist from Representative Mark Kennedy's office, who would be willing to come and meet with the steering committee. Kristi also reported that HESO representatives are willing to ask for funding from the Minnesota legislature for recurring state funding.

On Bastille Day, Sarkozy Recognizes France's 'Blood Tie' With Africa
It's July 14. Bastille Day! La Fete Nationale!
Every year, there is a parade on the Champs-Elysees in Paris. The French wear their finest finery. (My colleagues at Wait Wait... Don't Blog Me have a red carpet — tapis rouge? — round up, and Le Figaro has a great slideshow.)
In the past, other cool things used to happen. Presidents granted interviews to members of the media, to expound on the state of Republique francaise. (No hard questions allowed.) They issued mass pardons. And they hosted garden parties. President Nicolas Sarkozy has decided to forgo all those traditions.
Today's parade — somewhat controversially — recognized what the president called the "blood tie" between France and Africa.
"Troops from 13 African nations marched in Paris Wednesday, marking half a century of independence from France as part of a rain-soaked Bastille Day parade heavily criticised by human rights groups," Agence France Presse reports. "The colourful display on the Champs Elysees avenue came as rights groups accused some African leaders and armies of war crimes and of perceived shady ties between France and some of its former colonies."
According to Al Jazeera, "Rights groups were angered by the presence of countries such as Niger, where a military government took power in a coup five months ago and where French nuclear firm Areva has lucrative uranium mining contracts."
Members of Sarkozy's administration dismissed those complaints. In his speech, the president focused on the war in Afghanistan, reiterating his commitment to the conflict, even as French support for it wanes.
As NPR's Eleanor Beardsley has reported, in recent weeks, Sarkozy has been beset by low approval ratings and a political scandal.

Mission Statement
Since its establishment in 1989, the Children's Medical Fund has sought to provide medical assistance to critically ill Greek, Greek American and Orthodox children, whose families are unable to afford appropriate and necessary medical treatment. The Fund also provides grants for innovative research programs to pediatric hospitals throughout the United States and to organizations with special programs that care for children with critical and life threatening illnesses.
History and Grant Distribution
The Children's Medical Fund Luncheon began as the Cancer Fund Luncheon in 1989 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City and was followed by a second Cancer Fund Luncheon in 1990. These successful events provided funds for Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital, for the Greek Children's Cancer Fund and for the Kids-n-Cancer program. In 1991, this event was officially named the Children's Medical Fund Luncheon, and it became a biennial event hosted on a rotating basis within the Direct Archdiocesan District and eight Metropolises of the Archdiocese.
Since its inception, the National Philoptochos has raised nearly $3 million for the Children's Medical Fund, and has awarded over $2.6 million in grants to hospitals and organizations. The remaining funds have been disbursed for children in need through grants handled by the Social Services department at the National Philoptochos office.
National Philoptochos Society's Biennial Children's Medical Fund Luncheon was held on Saturday, October 12, 2013 at the Fairmont, Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, PA
A total of $136,900 was distributed at the 2013 Children's Medical Fund Luncheon.

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY – Penn State Behrend's Nikki Frisbee broke a 0-0 tie 50 seconds into overtime to give the visiting Behrend Lions a 1-0 win over the Hilbert College Hawks in NCAA Division III women's soccer play.
Hilbert keeper Kelly Goodwin (Niagara Falls, NY/Niagara Falls) was strong throughout the afternoon making 13 saves and keeping the Hawks chances alive. A tough Behrend Lions defense allowed the Hawks only one shot on goal as Penn State Behrend's Dara Nielson earned the shutout win in goal.
The loss drops the Hawks to 0-2 in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) and 3-5 overall. Hilbert is off until Saturday, October 1st when they play host to the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg. Game time is scheduled for 1:00 pm.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Justin Bieber made fans swoon when he uploaded a half-naked drawing of himself embracing a 'Belieber' in bed.
Justin Bieber has posted a cheeky cartoon of himself on Instagram.
The teen idol sent fans' pulses racing worldwide when he uploaded an image of himself lying shirtless in bed, cuddling up to a topless female labelled simply as 'Belieber'.
It isn't known whether the picture, posted on Tuesday (16.04.13), is fan art or whether he created it himself.
Devoted followers of the Canadian singer went wild, posting comments such as, ''That will be me one day, hopefully...'', ''Is dat you Selena [Gomez]'' and ''Omg Justin don't post pics of us in the bed (sic)''.
The racy picture came after Justin shared a series of shirtless 'selfies' on Twitter, showing off his chiselled abs.
Referring to his recent headline-grabbing antics such as trying attacking a paparazzi in London, he sarcastically wrote: ''Breaking news worldwide @justinbieber just posted 2 shirtless pictures he must be going crazy'' and ''Uh oh @justinbieber is losing it taking shirtless pics in the mirror''.
The 19-year-old star has been causing quite a stir recently, after it emerged he left a controversial message in the Anne Frank Museum guest book on Friday (12.04.13).
He wrote in the book, devoted to the hiding place of the Holocaust victim and her family: ''Truly inspiring to be able to come here, Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber''.

With 12 different party areas, Downtown Countdown at the Grand Historic Venue is expecting a big crowd. It's more of a formal event -- organizers encourage guys to wear a funky jacket and tie or tux, and girls to don a cocktail or formal dress. Among the main attractions: comedians with sets every 30 minutes, multiple bars, buffets and live music from bands like The Grilled Lincolns. General admission tickets start at $99, and the event begins at 9 p.m.
