According to the DPI constitution, the by-laws are to be more detailed rules and regulations on the procedures to be followed in the organization. It is the responsibility of the World Council to adopt and amend the by laws. In keeping with this, the by laws will provide clarification and direction on areas only generally described in the constitution as well as provide additional policy and procedural direction. More detailed documents cover certain areas like personnel policy and rules of procedure.
Purpose of Disabled People's International
The overall philosophy of DPI is spelled out clearly in the constitution, manifesto, Singapore declaration, and other documents. The by laws provide a clear mission statement.
The purpose of DPI is to promote the human rights of disabled people through full participation, equalization of opportunity, and development.
While the national assembly structures and organizational models will vary from country to country the following principles apply to all:
- Must be cross-disability, that is provide the opportunity for all disabled people to participate.
- Must provide an organizational framework that includes, but is not necessarily limited to, all organizations of disabled persons supporting the philosophy and purpose of DPI.
- Are not limited to countries that are members of the United Nations. In any country, an organization of disabled persons promoting the rights of disabled persons can qualify for membership.
- Must be national in scope by constitution. If it is not national it must have an action plan for organizational development and a procedure for grassroots participation for all areas of the country where the organization is being developed.
- Must make a report regarding its qualification for membership to the DPI headquarters prior to each world assembly. A forum to be developed by the office.
Membership Applications
Membership Applications shall be submitted to the regional office or chairperson and only after decision by the regional executive or council be submitted to the World Council for adoption. Applications must include a copy of the constitution, a list of governing body members, and a description of adherence to the membership principles and purpose of DPI. Each region must submit an updated list of addresses for its National Assemblies to the head office annually.
Membership Review and Disciplinary Procedures
The overall intention would be to assist a national assembly to fulfill the principles of membership rather than to find reasons for exclusion. If a national assembly does not abide by the constitution and by-laws, the World Council shall appoint a committee of three people, including regional representation, to review their membership based on the above principles. Every effort will be made to assist the organization to develop an action plan with help from the development program. In the event this is not successful a recommendation for disciplinary action or expulsion may be made at the next World Council meeting.
Models of good practice, that is National Assemblies that have been effective should be shared at the regional and national levels through training programs, newsletters, and national reports to encourage and assist other National Assemblies to implement these principles.

DPI Committees
The purpose of appointing a committee is to carry out the work of the World Council. DPI standing committees will only be established where a clear rationale, mandate, structure, action plan, and financial plan has been put in place.

The World Council may recommend to the World Assembly that a commission be established in specific areas identified by the World Council. A commission would have more responsibility for management than a committee.

Gear Question
My feet tend to sweat quite a bit and I...
My feet tend to sweat quite a bit and I do most of my backpacking in the Sierras which is pretty dry. My average trips are in the 30-50 mile range and I carry between 30-40lbs. Definitely not looking to use a day hiker like the Merrell Ventilator. Does anyone have a recommendation for a non gore-tex backpacking boot?
I thought maybe the Ganda could be used as a backpacking boot but not sure if anyone has used it primarily that way. Any advice is hugely appreciated!
Arthur Debowski
I've used these on multiday hikes with loads in the Sierra and they were as stable and supportive as many hiking boots I've used in the past but they were significantly lighter and more versatile.

A large group gathered at the Minnesota Capitol Tuesday in opposition to a gun bill they say negatively impacts people of color.
DFL Rep. Debra Hilstrom and NRA leaders introduced the bill last week.
Speakers Tuesday argued that it fails to stop gun sales without background checks at gun shows, online or at flea markets. But their bigger concern is two things that are in the bill: enacting mandatory minimum sentencing and creating new felony offenses.
Leroy Duncan of Protect Minnesota says such measures will lead to disproportionate arrests in colored communities.
In Washington, D.C. Tuesday, members of the Senate Judiciary Committee approved legislation that would expand background checks on all gun sales.

Farmers' Market Share: Whole Wheat Bread
Categories: Farmers' Market Share, In the Kitchen
|User "Zyance," Wikimedia Commons
Don't despair: There are still plenty of local goods to be had. Over the next few months, I'll highlight some of the offerings that will remain available despite the lack of sun and warmth.
If you want to go the DIY route and you're looking to do it locally, whatever will you do? Missouri Grain Project to the rescue. This is a cooperative venture by a number of local farmers to grow chemical-free, non-GMO (genetically modified) wheat to sell for consumption rather than the commodities market.
If you follow Slow Food tenets and/or read Michael Pollan, you may be aware that the grain commodities market is one of the primary drivers for the industrialized food system. Grain subsidies help to force production up and prices down, which provides a cheap source of animal feed for concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). By selling grain directly to consumers, the MO Grain Project hopes to encourage farmers to produce grain for people here in Missouri, rather than shipping it out of state for processing and CAFO consumption.
This happens to dovetail beautifully with how I started out baking bread. At some point a couple of years ago, I realized that supermarket bread had a list of ingredients that read like a chemistry experiment, but all of the nice artisan loaves had a hefty price tag that belied their short lists of ingredients. So between that and my summer of abandoning all commercially marketed personal care products -- Dr. Bronner's and crystal deodorant 4-eva! -- I started baking my own bread.

It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

City Deals
Find out about City Deals, a new initiative to empower the biggest cities outside London.
9 April 2012
City Deals were announced by the Government in December 2011 in their document Unlocking Growth in Cities (pdf, opens new window). The Government sees cities as the motors of economic recovery, best placed to create jobs and having a crucial role to play in local prosperity. Indeed, cities contain 74% of the population and 78% of the jobs.
City Deals move away from a 'one size fits all' approach to urban policy, offering cities the chance to gain certain powers (such as taxation) in exchange for proposals on how they will support private sector growth and the freedoms they need to achieve this.
City Deals will create powerful, innovative cities that are able to shape their economic destinies. They will be able to invest in growth, drive critical infrastructure development, and create new tools to help people get the skills and jobs they need.
Initially offered to the Core Cities of England (Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Birmingham, Bristol, Nottingham and Sheffield), the offer has now been widened to other cities.
As of July 2012, all the Core Cities have agreed their city deals with government. We have produced a briefing on the city deals – what they include and the implications for members.

Lady Business: Until Next Time and Thank You
The weird thing about being a writer in this day and age is that you instantly know when people hate what you produce and when they love it.
So, I was really relieved that the fabulous editors at Bitch Media liked my idea about writing about business enough to let me offer a little advice and share some of the things I'd noticed about the intersection of women, money and business over the years. I was not prepared for how much fun it would be to write about business and work, something I have been consumed with and thinking about since I was 14 years old.
I'm not even trying to humblebrag: Even though I've been a self-help business writing geek for a long while now, I had no idea that writing about money, feminism, and our unpredictable working world could be so fun.
It has also been a blast guest blogging for a publication and website that has reminded me over the years that the real stories at the intersection of feminism and popular culture are important enough to be told. In a 24/7 news cycle geared toward tearing women down or making us feel unworthy on multiple levels, to find a safe intellectual space with likeminded feminists is a beautiful, rare, and amazing privilege.
I've always known the print magazine readers were a brilliant bunch, and now I know the same is true for Bitch's web audience. I'm looking forward to reading what some of you might even contribute in the future.
In the meantime: Remember not to settle for less than you deserve, at home or at work. Whatever brings you joy and money to live (maybe it's just the money to live...that's cool, too), make sure that you make it work for you and not the other way around. Until next time, keep giving 'em hell.
Previously: Are the Mancession, He-Covery, and Stay-At-Home Dads Good for Feminism?, Why Isn't There More Feminist Business Writing?
If you don't have a subscription to award-winning 80-page quarterly Bitch magazine, it's definitely time to start one.

Deep Fried Man in Sandton for two weeksTheatre on the Square
11/08/2011 14:14:18
Daniel Friedman is the Deep Fried Man, winner of the SA Comedian of the Year in Deeply Fried from 21 November to 3 December for two weeks only.
This November, award-winning musical comedian Deep Fried Man brings his debut one-man show Deeply Fried to Sandton's Old Mutual Theatre on the Square.
The show, which won a Standard Bank Ovation Award when it debuted at the 2011 National Arts Festival in Grahamstown, is an hilarious and uniquely South African mix of music, comedy, satire and parody. Armed with just his guitar, Deep Fried Man invites you to watch him braai some holy cows as he takes on a diverse array of topics including life in South Africa, his Jewish roots, sex, modern life and social media.
Deep Fried Man has had much success since the start of his comedy career less than two years ago, winning the Newcomer Award at the inaugural Comics Choice Awards as well as the Parker's Comedy Showdown. He has made various TV appearances, including being resident musical comedian on the most recent series of LOL; has performed at some of SA's biggest comedy events including the Heavyweight Comedy Jam and the Jozi Comedy Fest and has opened for a run of Trevor Noah's one-man show, Scratch That.
Now he proudly invites you into his strange world for the Deeply Fried experience. Deep Fried Man's brand of humour is quirky, bizarre and at times controversial. Like deep fried food, his music is extremely cooked and very tasty, but definitely quite bad for you.
Funnier than Freshly Ground! More musical than Barry Hilton! Cheaper than The Phantom of the Opera! Deeply Fried is not to be missed!
"Fantastic… Creative improv, great rapport with audience, jumps genres all the time… I love his sense of humour. Wacky and unique". - Zapiro

Below is the poem entitled living deliberately which was written by poet
Chan. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Catherine Chan
18, and she's already drowned herself in a river of tears.
they say that high school's either the best or the worst years.
well her body was a museum of a bitter and broken history.
the cause of that catastrophe still remains an unsolved mystery.
21, and she's hidden herself behind an impenetrable fort
because the dominant memories of family were the pain they brought.
and friends were only around during mindless pursuits of fun.
but this wasn't what she wanted. so friends she counted none.
30, and she's fallen in love with a handsome charming lad.
loves her, loves her not. surely that game had driven her mad.
it wasn't the first love, or whatever sadistic variation of this emotion.
she took a step in the wrong direction, and ran far far away from that commotion.
40, and her career is as bright and brilliant as it could be.
that bright red coupé in that magnificent mansion she had the key.
not by working hard like a dog, but working like an undignified mutt.
she'd dug her own grave inside this beautiful, luxurious rut.
50, and she never really made her peace with God.
didn't find the comfort, and everything seemed so odd.
the childish faith that was once invincible never made its way back.
and all these years she felt, and willingly let the devil attack.
60, and all those childhood dreams seemed like those of a fool.
because she never got any kind words of affirmation as fuel.
so she chased what would give her recognition and respect.
but rather it is was the art of emptiness she did perfect.
70, and her health and willpower decided to stop fighting its war.
that lonely heart stopped beating, and lonely, she moved no more.
who knows what she would have given to have her story relived.
it would seem that she never actually died, because she had never actually lived.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Stoney Brook Farm Kennel has been producing show, agility and hunt quality AKC registered Standard Poodles for over 15 years. Our dogs are bred for beauty, confirmation and temperament, and make wonderful additions to any family as well as outstanding therapy dogs.
We are proud of our Stoney Brook working dogs. At the Poodle Club of Massachusetts event, Stoney Brook D. (Lucy) won a Working Certificate (WC) when tested in the field for water fowl retrieval in 2009. At the Poodle Club of America National Event, she was one of only 8 poodles nationally that won a WC and a Working Certificate Excellent (WCX). AKC awarded Stoney Brook Rupert the Survivor an Honorable Mention for Canine Excellence (ACE) in the
category of exemplary Therapy work in 2007. One dog in the country, a corgi, won the ACE award for therapy, and only 7 dogs won the honorable mention. Rupert was the only standard poodle in the group of 8 dogs. Westminster Kennel Club acknowledges exemplary Therapy dogs at their annual shows and Stoney Brook Scout has received that honor for her work in New York hospitals. One of our poodles provides a healing presence at her owner/veterinarian's office; another provides a healing presence at her owners/pschologists' office; and another is providing in-home therapeautic support for a family with three special needs children. In 2010, four Stoney Brook puppies were selected to start therapy training for their future work (detecting low blood sugar and potential seizure, engaging and improving the education of autistic and other special education children, bringing happiness and healing to children in hospitals).
If you would like more information on upcoming litters please email Sandra at firstname.lastname@example.com . You can also find information on any dogs that are currently available here on my blog.
Here on this page we've uploaded photos of some of the poodles we have bred as well as our Puppy Care Document, full of tips and recommendations for training, nutrition and more, which we have been compiling and expanding over the years. Enjoy!

The Vampire Diaries
The Vampire Diaries Speculation: What Does Elena's New Look Mean?
Does The Vampire Diaries have a new bad girl in town?
Now that Damon (Ian Somerhalder) made Elena (Nina Dobrev) shut off her humanity (and her grief over Jeremy's death) in Season 4, Episode 15 "Stand By Me," this baby vamp has gotten a whole new attitude.
Elena will debut her badass new 'tude in Season 4, Episode 16, "Bring It On," but apparently shameless nudity and cheerleader binges aren't enough! Elena no longer feels at home in her goody-goody fashions, and in Season 4, Episode 17, "Because The Night," she'll unveil a tough new look to go with her tough new self.
TV Guide has photos of the episode where Elena, on a trip to New York City with Damon, is rocking bodacious, wavy hair streaked with bright red, black boots laced all the way up to the knee, and a wicked smile. According to the synopsis, we'll visit the Big Apple both in the present day and in a flashback. As you can see from these photos, Damon used to be quite the rocker himself. But Rebekah learns that E is plotting something — and the Original is totally on board. That must mean it's bad news!
OK, so Elena looks awesome, and we're all for a little no more Miss Nice Girl — but does anyone else find this a little too-close-to-Katherine-for-comfort? Now that Elena's humanity is on hold, these two could become doppelgangers inside and out, if she isn't careful.

A report released Wednesday by the Southern Regional Education Board urges West Virginia and other southern states to make immediate changes to improve student achievement in grades six through eight.
Read more
Hundreds of Long Island (N.Y.) public school principals are challenging the state Education Department and criticizing new standards for evaluating educators.
The U.S. Department of Education's statistical and testing arm, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), released its latest "progress" report November 1st: The survey measuring fourth- and eighth-grade scores on the controversial National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP, was billed as having found "significant" improvement for both grades in math and a slight improvement in reading — until one examines the numbers.
Education is in "crisis". That's the message that was conveyed Thursday by education historian Diane Ravitch in a Distinguished Lecture Series appearance at William Paterson University.
New test scores show the nation's fourth- and eighth-graders are doing the best ever in math, but schools still have a long way to go to get everyone on grade level. In reading, eighth-graders showed some progress.
Secretary of Education Lillian Lowery today told the state's superintendents that the department made a mistake in its list of worst-achieving schools.
St. Bernard Parish's public schools continued their upward trajectory last spring by making it into the top 15 scoring districts in the state, according to baseline state performance scores released Wednesday that combine test results, attendance records and dropout data from the two previous school years.
Later this week, parents will learn whether their children's schools are making passing grades.

Swedish Medical Center, based in Seattle, officially became a member of ICE's Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) Thursday. IMAGE is a voluntary program that allows private sector businesses to partner with ICE to reduce unauthorized employment and the use of fraudulent identity documents. As a result, a participating employer is able to maintain a more secure, stable workforce.
"We are pleased to welcome Swedish Medical Center as an IMAGE partner and applaud this company's commitment to hiring and employing a legal workforce," said Leigh Winchell, ICE Homeland Security Investigations special agent in charge in Seattle. "As a volunteer partner in this effort, Swedish is making a strong statement in the business community that compliance with federal hiring laws is a priority."
When a company pursues IMAGE membership, ICE provides education and training on proper hiring procedures, including employment screening tools such as E-Verify and the Social Security Number Verification Services. The company also undergoes an audit of its I-9 forms to ensure current employees are eligible to work in the United States.
The E-Verify program, administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, allows businesses to verify that newly hired employees are eligible to work in the United States. This web-based program, available in all 50 states at no cost to employers, provides an automated link to the Social Security Administration database and Department of Homeland Security immigration records.
Under IMAGE, which was initiated in 2006, ICE partners with employers in a wide range of industries, including employment services, aviation, transportation, construction, high technology, shipping and manufacturing. Currently, more than 100 businesses nationwide are IMAGE members.
Swedish Medical Center, which employs about 8,000 people, has four hospital campuses and more than 70 primary-care and specialty clinics located throughout the greater Puget Sound area. It is the first medical provider in Washington to become an IMAGE partner and the 12th company to join statewide.
Employers interested in learning more about IMAGE membership may contact the local IMAGE coordinator by calling 206-442-2200 or visit www.ice.gov/image.

Full Moon Festival provides 50s-era fun, support of ...
The 50s may be long gone, but Lipscomb's own social clubs, Theta Psi and Delta Omega, are revisiting the era.
The clubs will hold the school's first Full Moon Festival, scheduled for Saturday, Mar. 8, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. in the Student Activities Center.
Theta Psi's president, Zach Bowen, had the idea for a 50s/60s prom dance, and the idea evolved into a festival with plenty of attractions such as swing dancing, a live band, ice cream floats, a soda station, photo booth and corn hole.
The live band consists of all Theta Psi members, split into two separate bands. They will performing songs from the fifties and sixties, as well some songs from the seventies, eighties and nineties.
The festival has a specific purpose, as Theta Psi social planner Everett Davis explained.
"We're trying to unite everybody in our good, clean fun event," Davis said.
The event also has an important mission at its core involving the university's drug and alcohol awareness policy.
"We want to stand in support of the drug and alcohol awareness policy of our school in a way that shows we can all have a great time while still keeping in step with the mission," the event's Facebook page reads.
Theta Psi had partnered with Delta Omega for the event. The girls' club has helping financially, as well as helping set up the event and paying for some things.
"We've done a few things with [Delta Omega] before, and we thought that they'd want to be a part of it," Davis said.
Davis said that both clubs are excited to host the event, and that everyone is welcome.
"Not only are we encouraging every social club to come, we are encouraging every student to come," Davis said. "Plus, we're encouraging people outside of Lipscomb to come."
The Full Moon Festival is free to students who get their tickets early and are $5 at the door.

A new, speedy sexual health testing service has been launched in Glasgow for gay and bisexual men.
The service provides quick HIV test results for men, who can also be tested for other sexual infections including gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia and hepatitis B.
The new drop-in initiative hopes to normalise the idea of being tested and raise the number of those being tested regularly.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde have launched the initiative in partnership with Gay Men's Health and the Sandyford Steve Retson Project.
The drop in service will operate from Glasgow's Merchant City where Gay Men's Health is based.
Using a fast-test finger prick technique, results from an HIV and syphilis test can be generated within 20 minutes, while other test results can be picked up at a later date.
According to Health Protection Scotland, there are an estimated 4,315 people who are HIV positive living in Scotland. During the first nine months of 2012 alone, there were 260 new HIV positive results.
Unprotected sex among gay and bisexual men is the main route through which new HIV infections are acquired in Scotland.
The quick and efficient new way of testing is expected to be a great benefit to the health service and the men who use it.
NHSGGC sexual health improvement officer Nicky Coia has commended the service in its efforts to reduce the fear associated with getting tested.
She said: "HIV is the sexually transmitted infection (STI) that people really worry about so the fact they can get that results really quickly is important. We wanted to open up choice to men who might find it more difficult of go through the process of booking an appointment and having to wait for test results.
"The biggest barrier for gay and bisexual men in regards to testing for HIV is the fear of a positive result. So anything we can do to reduce that level of fear is really important."
Richard Flynn, a gay student living in Glasgow said that the key is to normalise testing for gay men.
He said: "This kind of fast testing is invaluable. Even the thought of contracting HIV or other STIs is terrifying, and enough to put people off testing altogether, but it's so important to know your HIV status.
"Fast tests which take away the anxiety of waiting to hear results will hopefully encourage more men to test regularly and keep on top of their sexual health."
The walk-in clinic runs from 4.30pm to 7.30pm every Thursday at the Gay Men's Health Glasgow office at 30 Bell Street, Merchant City with Sandyford sexual health nurses leading the service.

LUIS EDUARDO MAGALHAES, Brazil (DTN) -- Brazilian soybean production has gone through a rapid evolution over the last 30 years.
The technology and materials employed on the crop have become ever more advanced as the world's No. 2 soybean producer expands.
For about 20 years after 1985, Brazilian soybean yields surged as technology and better farming practices developed and spread.
Average yields went from 20 bushels per acre in 1985-1986 to 42 bpa during the bumper 2002-2003 crop.
But despite continued advances in technology, genetics and crop management, yield growth has stuttered during the last five years.

Tax evasion case against SC Rep back in court
FLORENCE, S.C. (AP) -- A South Carolina state representative is back in court this week for a retrial on tax evasion charges.
Rep. Kris Crawford of Florence is charged with failing to file state tax returns for 2004 through 2007. In a trial in March of last year, the jury could not reach a decision and a mistrial was declared.
Crawford's attorney, Celeste Jones, acknowledged her client did not file his returns on time but says he got bad advice from his accountant.
The retrial began Tuesday just a week after Crawford was re-elected in House District 63 over Democrat Austin Smith.
The charges against Crawford are misdemeanors, but he could face jail time if convicted.

Hi,Right now I am working as a system engineer.
But I have interest on development. In fact I have done many side projects as developer. So can I switch to development. Whose approval should I get to do the same?
Are you one of the tens of thousands of people considering a career change? Perhaps you have new or continuing interests that you've put on the back burner. Maybe your skills are underutilized or you've allowed a dream vocation to go abandoned. If you're like so many others thinking about the implications of a life change, here are three things you can do to get moving in the direction of change.
- Get Your Mind Right: When you've identified a new direction for your career, consider whether you have all the knowledge and skills necessary for a successful transition. If you don't, there are several ways to get what you'll need: workshops, seminars, continuing education courses, certifications, and college degrees are all valuable ways to gain knowledge and skills. The more you find out about a potential career—via workshops, college courses, seminars—the better your decision will be when it comes to switching.Intra-company networking can provide you with information about your new chosen field. Colleen Plasek, Career Coach at Bellevue University, has this to say about successful plans for career change: "Are there professionals at your current company you could talk with? For instance, every company has someone doing accounting. If that is your interest area, set up a time to talk with someone working in accounting at your company."
- Hold Up Your Sign: "Will Work for Experience." In the 21st Century, getting your foot in the door, often means knocking on the door with your gifts. In other words, approach colleagues and companies with an offer of equity for opportunity. The familiar formula of intriguing cover letter + knock your socks of resume + blow them away interview = job offer is gone and may never return. It has been replaced by the necessity to build relationships with influential people and demonstrate knowledge, skills, and abilities right where you want your success to grow. Internship, working part-time, job sharing, job shadowing, apprenticeship, temporary work, volunteering, contracting for projects, executive-on-loan programs, and even "cold calling" can make inroads where traditional methods fail.
- Make Sure Your Change Adds Up: When considering a career change, remember to assess the personal financial impact of the change. Will you make more or less money in your new career? How much money will you make during the transition? Are there lifestyle changes that you need to consider in order to make your career change a success? Create a budget so that you have a detailed picture of what your financial situation will be like before, during, and after your career change.
Acquiring knowledge, gaining necessary experience, and making plans to handle the financial impact of your career change are important steps to take that can help make your career change both pleasant and successful.

Hi,Right now I am working as a system engineer.
If you're thinking about "switching" to development within your currently employer, this may be a conversation your have with two people:
1) Your current manager – to let him/her know you want to increase your value to the company by working toward this change
2) A manager within the development area – so that individual can advise you on what knowledge/skills you need to make the transition
Good luck!

Below is the poem entitled won't get beaten up by anger which was written by poet
Reyna. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Mony Reyna
it feels like numb
when anger strikes your mind
like a boiling water
or a bomb ready to explode
the veins getting tighten
and your heart beats faster
you wished to curse, to hit, to scold
turning into a devil of your own
but why do I have to do that?
Why do I have sacrifice myself
when in the end I might regret
for something I shouldn't have done
It's only to making fun of me
This whole mind and soul
This whole human's feelings
trying to test us for being a real human
I may be angry
But I keep on silence
I better leave and return when I'm cool
Talk things out not like what you do
I don't do fist, or yells, or curse
I think, I'm unwind, I talk
That's the different between you and me
I live with my heart and the help of my mind

Christmas Attractions- By the Light of the Fool Moon at Muncaster Castle
If you happen to be staying with us over the festive period, you will be keen to discover some Christmas related activities to get you in the yuletide mood and keep those you are travelling with, entertained along the way.
One great Christmas activity happening in the local area, is a festival called; By the Light of the Fool Moon, taking place at Muncaster Castle in nearby Ravenglass, in Cumbria. Featuring live music and performances, By the Light of the Fool Moon is a thrilling display of entertainment, set in the stunning rooms of Muncaster Castle.
The theme of the collection of performances, centres around the idea that a full moon hasn't occurred at the castle, for five centuries. As legend goes, the full moon should it happen, would spark a series of curious events. A Professor has arrived at the castle to uncover the dark tale. Join him in his quest to discover Muncaster's deepest secrets.
By the Light of the Fool Moon is directed by Tom Spencer, leader the of multi-award winning play Fine Chisel. He is accompanied by a cast of experienced and talented actors and the performance features an original musical score.
The musical composition featured, allows us to experience the human voice in an a new and innovative way.
Similar to many of these events, audiences gather at a focal meeting point, in this case the castle's pop-up Christmas bar, before being led away on a top secret tour, of the passages and corridors of the castle, normally not open to the public. The show ends with a merry feast in the great hall, where you can relax and discuss your take on the fabulous night.

The beautiful Lowreth Castle in Penrith Cumbria, has a range of amazing Christmas activities to offer in the coming weeks.
From 24th November to 24th December, between 10am-4pm, they will be hosting a Christmas Bazaar, in the stables of the castle grounds. The Bazaar will sell a range of hand made crafts and gifts and also some amazing locally sourced food and drink.
From the 12th of December, the Bazaar will also see artists exhibit in the Sculpture gallery. There is free entry and on offer will be prints, paintings, cards, and sculptures, all of which are created by local artists. This really is the perfect place for all your Christmas gift solutions.
With free parking on site and a lovely cafe with a seasonal menu, Lowreth Castle is the perfect spot for a bit of Christmas downtown, away from the dizzy rush of the high street.
The Coach House cafe in the courtyard, offers six hot lunch choices every day, with vegetarian options included, providing that much needed pit stop in between browsing for unearthed gems.
The castle's gift shop has a beautiful range of Christmas gifts and decorations. You might just be lucky enough to find this years unique centre piece, for the family home. Christmas trees are also available to buy in the courtyard, courtesy of the castle's groundskeeper.
The bazaar is open every day in the run up to Christmas, from 10am to 4pm. Don't miss out.

Keeping teenagers entertained on family holidays, is a challenge. The right balance of family bonding time and the freedom to go off on their own, is key to keeping your adolescent holiday companions on amiable form.
The lake district is an area of timeless beauty, a beauty even teenagers can enjoy. Climbing through tree tops and scaling mountainous peaks, is something even the most obstinate of teens will enjoy once they get going. A relaxing walk or a fun-filled adventure, is at their finger tips on a daily basis. The possibilities to let their creative juices flow are endless. There is so much scope for a young mind to open up and become engaged with new types of self expression. In these idyllic settings, your kids may well become inspired to paint the landscape, or even write a short story.
For those more energetic and sporty, there is ample opportunity to dive deep into some outdoor fun. The lake district is like one big playground to jump around and explore. From outdoor swimming to canoeing, psychical activity choices are endless.
If you are travelling with teenage boys, encourage their competitive sides, by organising some orienteering activities. Or if that seems too complicated, challenge them to put their strengths to the test and go walking in the fells. There is no bigger accomplishment than conquering Scafell Pike.
What might surprise your adolescent family members, is that here in the Lake District there is a real opportunity to follow in a film star's footsteps. The Lakes often double as a film set. Are your kids Thor or Twilight fans? Kirsten Stewart and Chris Hemsworth filmed in Cathedral Cave in the Langdales for 'Snow White And the Huntsman'. Check out the Family Walk to Cathedral Cave.
The Lakes are a great place to bring the entire family, including those awkward teens!

Hottest Baby Names of 2011

I have been pretty lucky to go on some amazing vacations to far off places, but none comes close to my vacation last week. It was the best vacation I have ever had, for so many reasons.
I leave the house without it way too much. In fact, I was going to post a picture of me all made up, and I can't find one. It's makeup. I just don't wear much makeup. I was on vacation last week, and part of it was spent at Cheyenne Frontier Days. My husband posted a picture on Facebook where I was a bit made up, and one of my friends didn't recognize me. I am taking this as a "wake up call" to put a little more effort into my daily look.
I've never been a big fan of mine. If I had to pick my best body part, I guess it would by my arms. They are usually on the thin side and somewhat toned.
But, according to a new study published by Daily Mail, American women find their breasts to be their favorite body part
I remember wearing pantyhose. I hated them then, and hate them now. Although, I did love the plastic egg they came in!
I do wear tights with some outfits in the winter, but for me, and many other women, pantyhose are a thing of the past
First, let me say I love all of my bosses, and not just because they are probably reading this. They are the kind of guys you can go have a beer with. In fact, I have done just that.
However, relations between employees and their bosses are as bad as ever
I am an only child – and a typical girlie one at that. Spoiled, self-centered, love pink, don't like to share.. all describe me. The one person in my life who did everything in his power to change this, is my cousin Cody
I remember when Plonk first opened. I was excited to go there because it was a wine bar, and one of my friends said she wouldn't go because kids weren't allowed. In fact, she was shocked I would be willing to go
What is it that makes your world go 'round? Is it your children, your family, work, a hobby? For everyone it's something different. For me, no doubt about it – it's my three crazy dogs. People have different views on pets, but to me these 3 bring me happiness on a daily basis.
I don't see a problem with this...at all.
The average woman overpacks her vacation suitcase by 26 items.
According to Daily Mail, a new study found that a woman needs an average 34 items of clothing for a week-long break but packs 60 'just in case', which means almost half of the contents of her suitcase will remain untouched
I can honestly say I wouldn't erase my embarrassing memories. They keep me from making the same mistake again!
However, according to Daily Mail, a new study found that we can erase embarrassing memories

Text: Romans 3:9-31
Abstract: This sermon explores the foot of the cross as potentially meaningful place for building new communities across traditional boundaries of division. Out of the trauma of execution, new life can emerge in the building of movements. Paul and Jesus are reclaimed in the text of Romans 3, which has been weighted by centuries of interpretation, particularly the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith first articulated by Martin Luther and atonement theory. The ministry and crucifixion of Jesus, and the ministry and assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. are used as examples.

Text: Psalm 9
Abstract: This sermon retells part of Ron Casanova's story as a leader in the National Union of the Homeless (NUH), particularly through his first organizing efforts at Tompkins Square Park in New York City. Slogans from the NUH are explored in dialogue with themes from Psalm 9, challenging the traditional dichotomy between what is considered "sacred" and "secular." The history of struggle in Tompkins Square Park is connected with contemporary struggles of those in poverty in the current economic crisis. The call to "tell our story" is to claim both a history of struggle and the contemporary imperative to do justice. This call is made in this sermon through parallels among the biblical text, historical and contemporary struggles.

This interview explores a number of biblical and theological themes, particularly as they relate to poor people's organizing and the ministry of ending poverty.
