Google launches Rs 12 crores Google Impact Challenge in IndiaAuthor : Abhigna August 12, 2013 0
NEW DELHI, INDIA: Google today is launching the Google Impact Challenge in India, asking Indian non-profits how they would use technology to tackle problems in India and around the world.
The four submissions judged to be the best will each receive Rs 3 crores and technical assistance from Google to help make their project a reality.
"Every year we give away approximately $100 million in grants, $1 billion in free and discounted apps and ads, and 50,000 employee volunteer hours around the world," said Google.
Rajan Anandan, VP and MD, Google India said: "It is a great opportunity for Indian non-profits to scale their efforts to help solve some of our toughest problems. India already has a rich tradition of corporate giving and hopefully the Challenge will galvanize social entrepreneurship in India."
Google launched the Global Impact Awards in 2013 to support entrepreneurial non-profits with a tech idea for how to change the world.
Said Ram Shriram, judge and Google board member, "I've had the privilege of working with budding inventors for many years, and I know India's entrepreneurs are some of the biggest and boldest thinkers in the world."
"Today I'm thrilled to be part of a new tech-oriented, venture model that will support our country's amazing engine of social entrepreneurs, identifying and backing the best technology ideas to improve the lives of millions."
In addition to backing Indian social innovators, Google wants to shine a spotlight on the many Indian non-profits working to help solve some of the world's most pressing challenges. This is Google's first Challenge in India and only its second overall.
The final event, to take place on 31st October, will feature a judging panel including Google board member Ram Shriram; Google's chief business officer, Nikesh Arora; Jacquelline Fuller, director, Google Giving; Anu Aga, Social Worker and former Chairperson, Thermax and Jayant Sinha, managing director, Omidyar Network India Advisors, who will select three awardees.
The fourth awardee, based on online votes from the public, will also be revealed.
Applications open today and Indian non-profits are invited to apply online by 5th September.

Alaska State Troopers began hunting for Thomas Lorah's erratically swerving truck along the Seward Highway more than a half-hour before he crashed head-on into another vehicle, killing one person in the other vehicle and severely injuring another last July, according to documents filed in court Wednesday.
Lorah, 28, was indicted last week on charges of second-degree murder, manslaughter, first-degree assault and driving under the influence in connection with the July 26 wreck that killed Annette Knofel, 59, and seriously injured her husband, Bruce Knofel.
At his arraignment Wednesday, Lorah entered not guilty pleas to the charges. A lawyer representing him at the hearing declined to comment.
According to a bail memorandum prosecutors filed in court, Lorah had been drinking as he fished with two friends down on the Kenai Peninsula the day of the wreck.
Soon after he left the fishing site for Anchorage, motorists began calling in reports that Lorah, who was later found to have a half-empty bottle of Sailor Jerry rum and empty Coors beer cans in his vehicle, was driving erratically and aggressively, Assistant District Attorney Dan Shorey wrote in the memorandum.
Motorists reported Lorah hitting speeds in excess of 100 mph as he darted past traffic in no-passing zones, at one point running a minivan off the road, Shorey wrote.
Troopers got a call reporting Lorah as a drunken driver at 7:13 p.m. and dispatched an officer southbound from Girdwood to intercept him. Minutes later, at 7:29 p.m., troopers' dispatch in Soldotna got a report of the red Ford truck towing a boat racing on the Seward Highway.
Drivers continued to report Lorah swerving into oncoming traffic and nearly wrecking on several occasions, Shorey wrote. One witness remarked to authorities, "He's gonna kill someone."
At 7:49 p.m., The Knofels were heading home to Seward after a 10-day trip to Kodiak. As they drove south and approached a curve at Mile 87.9, Lorah's truck came around the bend in the southbound lane, Shorey wrote. Guardrails line the curve, with the Inlet to the south and the mountains to the north. There was nowhere to go for the Knofels.
Lorah jerked his truck back into the northbound lane, but still struck the Knofels' Ford Escape head-on, sending both vehicles spinning in an explosion of twisted metal and shattered glass.
Girdwood Trooper Howard Peterson, who had been headed south looking for Lorah, was the first officer on scene. He found Lorah stinking of booze with bloodshot, watery eyes, pinned in the vehicle and yelling for someone to get him out, according to court papers.
Medics cut him free from the wreckage. On his way to the hospital to be treated for minor injuries, Lorah fought with medics, Shorey wrote.
The Knofels were knocked unconscious in the wreck. After being extricated with the Jaws of Life, Bruce Knofel was taken to Alaska Regional Hospital, where he remained for a week to be treated for broken ribs, a broken radius bone, cuts and other injuries.
Ann Knofel died at 8:19 p.m.
Results of a test on a blood sample collected from Lorah in the minutes after the collision came back Dec. 28 showing his blood-alcohol level was .317, nearly four times the legal limit for driving.
Lorah was booked into the Anchorage jail Wednesday with bail set at $27,500. His trial is scheduled to begin in April.

NCO committed to helping homeless
August 11, 2011
FORT JACKSON, S.C. -- Staff Sgt. Ontego Straight didn't wait for the Army to assign him as a drill sergeant, he volunteered to be one. Straight has been volunteering since childhood, as part of his life as the son of a preacher.
"When we were young, my dad used to help the homeless out all the time," Straight said. "Once we had a homeless man living with us, you can't give anymore than to welcome someone into your own house. I've been doing this my whole life."
Straight volunteers often with help from his supportive command, despite the busy schedule he has of turning civilians into Soldiers. '
"I volunteer on Saturdays. I just ask my first sergeant or commander for the time off, and they always work with me," Straight said.
At the Zephaniah Temple homeless shelter, Straight helps mentor, serve meals and provide Bible-based inspiration to the people in need there.
"I came up poor, and that's why my heart is really in this when I see people in need. I know what it's like to go without," Straight said. "So if I can help someone get some food or some clothes or meet a need, that's what I'm here to do. I think that's what we are all called to do."
Straight also volunteers with a teen pregnancy prevention program and Harvest Hope Food Bank.
As a drill sergeant, Straight instills discipline, respect and motivation into his Soldiers.
"I want them to act like ladies and gentlemen because that is important in being a leader one day," Straight said. "They need to have discipline to get things done and also need to hold themselves highly, respect themselves so that others will respect them as leaders down the road."
Straight also said that moral character is important in the shaping of an individual and teaches Soldiers about personal standards as well as Army standards.
"I figure that since I teach these Soldiers everything else, I might as well be able to teach them to do the right thing," Straight said. "They have no one else while they are out here, so I teach them the same things my parents taught me about morals and doing what is right."
Straight only has one more cycle left with the Soldiers of 2nd Battalion, 39th Infantry Regiment. He will continue on to his next duty station in Germany and complete his bachelor's degree.
"I plan on finishing up my Business Administration degree and seeing how far I can get on the enlisted side and I'm considering going (to Officer Candidate School)," Straight said. "I have about 11 more years left, so I'm sure I'll be able to accomplish a lot by then."

NUI Galway and UL Announce Business Course Partnership
Tuesday, 1 February 2011
NUI Galway and the University of Limerick have announced a partnership of the NUI Galway part-time Bachelor of Commerce and the UL Bachelor of Business Studies programmes. The coordination is part of the NUI Galway/UL Strategic Alliance which aims to further a shared commitment to academic excellence. This latest initiative will open access to business students in both institutions; improving the overall student experience and broaden career opportunities. The part-time Bachelor of Commerce by blended learning at NUI Galway's JE Cairnes School of Business & Economics and the Bachelor of Business Studies by flexible learning at UL's Kemmy Business School will be delivered through a mix of face-to-face weekend workshops, online lectures, tutorials and discussion forums. Web 2.0 technologies such as wikis, podcasts and blogs will be used in an innovative way to achieve programme level learning outcomes. Blended and flexible learning methods of delivery provide third level access to mature students with work and family commitments in any location. In the next academic year, (2011/2012) students will jointly study Organisational Behaviour, delivered by the Kemmy Business School and Business Negotiations/Integrated Case-Based Workshop delivered by the JE Cairnes of School of Business & Economics. In the following year, a greater amalgamation between both business programmes is envisaged. Programme Manager of the part-time Bachelor of Commerce at the JE Cairnes School of Business & Economics at NUI Galway Éilis O Regan says, "Delivering our combined part-time Business programmes via blended/flexible learning, with monthly face-to-face workshops at NUI Galway and University of Limerick, will increase third level assess to mature students, with work and/or family commitments. This innovative delivery format will also broaden third level access across Ireland for those who did not or could not avail of third level education immediately following second level. The JE Cairnes School of Business & Economics welcomes the opportunity to work with our partners in the Kemmy School of Business." Course Director of the Bachelor of Business Studies by Flexible Learning at Kemmy Business School, UL, Dr. Ronan Carbery says, "The UL/NUI Galway Strategic Alliance adds significant value to students on both Business programmes by not only allowing them to broaden their experience of third level education with the delivery of modules in a new University setting, but by also benefitting from the shared expertise across both Business faculties. The ability for students in both Universities to collaborate with each other and with a broader range of academics will further facilitate a stimulating learning environment in which to engage with the programmes."

NUI Galway Spin-Out Company Targets Finance Markets
Monday, 31 January 2011
A spin-out company of NUI Galway's Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) – Peracton Ltd. has partnered with FusionExperience to offer one of Peracton's flagship products MAARS Fund Management Analytics to the market. The technology was initially developed within DERI at NUI Galway and through Peracton, the MAARS technology is being offered to the finance/business world. The original MAARS technology development research has been funded by Enterprise Ireland and Science Foundation Ireland. MAARS is a platform that provides complex analytics decision support for most common equities selection (stocks, funds, ETF etc.), audit and compliance as well as forensic capabilities. In a recent report of summer 2010, Forrester claimed that Peracton s MAARS was the Hot Technology to Watch for 2010. A Forrester excerpt says: "Focusing on solving the core industry-specific business problems is the next big wave in the tech industry. Nowhere is it more evident of technology s unique role in solving business problems than in the highly tech-dependent banking market." Mr. Gordon Easden, Practice Leader, FusionExperience says: "The partnership with Peracton will allow us to add the impressive MAARS analytics application to our already extensive set of offerings. This can only be good news for our existing and potential clients and further increase the excellent end to end service we provide to the financial services community. We look forward to working closely with Peracton in the future." Mr. Richard D'Silva, UK Business Development Manager, Peracton says: "At Peracton, we are really excited about working with FusionExperience. Not only does Fusion provide a great opportunity for MAARS to get the right exposure to key people in the Investment and Asset Management space but also their experience in the Financial Services industry will be invaluable as we develop and release more MAARS financial analytics applications in the coming months." Professor Manfred Hauswirth, Vice-Director of DERI at NUI Galway said: "Peracton is a direct outcome of the foreseeing investment of the Irish government into the Smart Economy to create indigenous companies in the knowledge economy. Peracton successfully demonstrates how the "research-to-industry pipeline" can work: from Science Foundation Ireland funded basic research, via Enterprise Ireland supported translation into industrial strength products to a new Irish company providing jobs and producing tax income."

NUI Galway Host Emily Anderson Memorial Concerts
Monday, 31 January 2011
NUI Galway and Music for Galway will celebrate the memory of Galway scholar Emily Anderson (1891-1962) with two concerts featuring the RTÉ Vanbrugh Quartet performing Beethoven's late quartets. Both concerts will take place in the Aula Maxima in the Quadrangle Building at NUI Galway from 11 to12 February, at 8pm. Emily, a daughter of former NUI Galway President, Alexander Anderson, held a position as German lecturer at the University before settling in London where she worked in the Foreign Office. However, her international reputation was secured by translating the complete correspondence of Beethoven and Mozart into English. Sponsored by NUI Galway, the programmes of the memorial concerts alternate between the two master composers and this year Beethoven is featured. The members of the RTÉ Vanbrugh Quartet have been living and working in Cork since 1986 when they became the fourth ensemble to hold the RTÉ string quartet residency, established in Cork in 1959. They were appointed Artists-in-residence to University College, Cork in 1991. In 2009, the Quartet took up a position as part-time lecturers in chamber music at DIT Conservatory of Music. The quartet has nurtured, inspired and supported countless young Irish musicians and has commissioned and championed dozens of new works by Irish composers. At the same time it has built an enviable international reputation, regularly touring Europe, the Americas and the Far East. The quartet has released twenty-five CDs, including the complete Beethoven quartets. As part of Music for Galway's outreach programme, the RTÉ Vanbrugh Quartet will present and discuss excerpts from various string quartets for the students of Maoin Cheoil na Gallimhe on Saturday at 11am. The Huston School of Film and Digital Media will show the documentary In search of Beethoven by Phil Grabsky on Saturday at 2pm. For booking information contact Music for Galway 091 705962. Tickets are available from Opus II in the Cornstore Shopping Mall in Galway City or www.tht.ie -Ends-

NUI Galway Graduates Undertake Volunteer Teaching in Tanzania
Monday, 31 January 2011
NUI Galway's ALIVE programme in partnership with Tanzanian Village Renewal have announced a new initiative whereby five graduates of NUI Galway commenced work as volunteer teachers in Suji Malindi Secondary School, Tanzania from January to December 2011. The initiative was conceived by Lorraine McIlrath of the Community Knowledge Initiative (CKI) and Maureen Mescall, formerly of the Discipline of Economics, NUI Galway and founder of the registered charity Tanzanian Village Renewal. The five graduates; Aine Staunton, B.A., H.Dip. Tourmakeady, Co. Mayo, Aisling Mitchell, B.A., H. Dip. Manorhamilton, Co. Leitrim, Belinda Crossan, B.A., H.Dip. Letterlenny, Co Donegal, Aaron Cunningham, B.Comm. Letterkenny, Co. Donegal and James Lovett, B.Sc., M.Sc., Newcastle, Galway accompanied a group of builders to Tanzania on 31 October, 2010 where they assisted in the construction of a large extension to Suji Malindi Secondary School. Once the builders returned to Ireland following their two week building blitz, the graduates began teaching English to local adults, the girls set up net ball and basket ball courts to the delight of the pupils while Aaron took charge of football matters. The academic year is now in full swing in Suji and with the addition of the five Irish volunteer teachers and their organisational abilities; pupils who had left the school have returned. There are increased numbers of first year students and this year for the first time in many years there will be a fourth form class as retention has improved. The Chairman of the School Board, Mr Nyanga said "It is wonderful to have these teachers here in Suji, and already we are seeing the benefits of their role in our community. We thank them for volunteering and we are grateful to NUI Galway and Tanzanian Village Renewal for organising the initiative and we look forward to many years of continued involvement with our school and village. The people of Suji value education very much and we see it as the means of providing a secure future for our people." The volunteer teachers are setting up a library in the school which they hope will be of benefit to the local community as well. In this regard Maureen Mescall of Tanzanian Village Renewal is appealing to parents, schools and pupils to donate old school books (except through the medium of the Irish language) and appropriate novels which will be sent to Suji at the end of February for the library The books for the curriculum are too expensive for the local parents to purchase and the teachers are currently organising an initiative in conjunction with Tanzanian Village Renewal whereby they will purchase a complete set of all school books for all years and rent them to pupils at a nominal fee for the year. The books would be returned at year end to be rented out the following year again. You can get details of this and follow the progress of the teachers on http://nuigalwaysujiteachers.blogspot.com/ and you if you feel you would like to help by sponsoring a uniform or school books you will find details of how to do so at http://tanzanianvillagerenewal.blogspot.com/.

Lecturer Says Irish Plays Central Role in Socio-Ecomonic Development
Monday, 31 January 2011
The promotion of Irish has a positive influence on Ireland's socio-economic development and the language should have a central role in the effort now needed to rebuild the country, that's according to the author of a new book entitled Contests and Contexts: The Irish Language and Ireland's Socio-Economic Development. In his book, NUI Galway lecturer in Irish at the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, Dr. John Walsh illustrates how historians and commentators on Irish society have ignored the consequences of the rapid decline of Irish. "There is virtually no discussion of language shift in most of the general histories of Ireland published in the past forty years," said Dr. Walsh. "On the other hand, there is another tradition stretching back as far as Thomas Davis and Douglas Hyde of authors who argue that the promotion of Irish has a positive impact on the development of Ireland. I survey those authors, from Davis to contemporary commentators such as Joe Lee, Michael Cronin and Finbarr Bradley and then examine their arguments in the light of various theoretical fields such as sociolinguistics, political economy and development studies. I conclude that we need a new theoretical model, combining elements of sociolinguistics and socio-cultural development, in order to better understand the link between language and development." The language-development link is examined in a number of contexts. Three Gaeltacht areas are chosen as case-studies of the ways in which the promotion of Irish interacts with local socio-economic development. The new developmental policy of Údarás na Gaeltacht is examined, as is the changing focus of the organisation, particularly in the light of renewed concern about the strength of Irish in the Gaeltacht. Areas outside the traditional Gaeltacht – west Belfast and Galway City – are also examined. The book was launched on Friday, 28 January in the Galway City Museum by Peadar Kirby, Professor of International Politics and Public Policy at the University of Limerick. "This is one of the most important books written on the Irish language for a very long time", said Professor Kirby. "For the first time, it examines the claim made by authors as far back as Thomas Davis in the 1840s and continued up to Joe Lee's magisterial book of 1989, that the decline of Irish as the vernacular language of the Irish people has had a detrimental effect on Ireland s socio-economic development. Walsh's book adopts a rigorous social scientific approach to interrogating this claim, contributing important insights not only to debates about Ireland's future development but also to international debates about culture and development. Coming at a time of major national re-appraisal of where we are going as a society, this book has a huge contribution to make to charting the road towards a better future." Dr Walsh was appointed as a Fulbright Irish Language Scholar in 2009 and spent six months researching for the book at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Contests and Contexts: The Irish language and Ireland's Socio-Economic Development is published by Peter Lang in the 'Reimagining Ireland' series. It can be ordered at www.peterlang.com.

NUI Galway Authors Argue Roy Keane was 'Fantasy Embodiment of Celtic Tiger'
Thursday, 27 January 2011
Can sport tell us who we are, where we come from, and even where we may be going? A new book by researchers at NUI Galway provides strong evidence that it can. And, just as recent developments have shown in the economic sphere, Europe is a big part of our sporting past, present and future. Sport, Representation and Evolving Identities in Europe examines, among other areas, the media construction of former Irish international Roy Keane in the mid-1990s to mid-2000s economic boom. The relevant chapter, by Marcus Free of Mary Immaculate College, Limerick, argues that the Manchester United star and former Ipswich manager was the fantasy embodiment of Celtic Tiger Ireland. Free's essay is just one of fifteen in a new collection edited by Philip Dine, Senior Lecturer in French at NUI Galway and Seán Crosson, Programme Director of the MA in Film Studies in the Huston School of Film & Digital Media, also at NUI Galway. Sport Representation and Evolving Identities in Europe opens with a foreword by Paddy Agnew, Rome correspondent of the Irish Times. The book then looks at the role sport has played in the evolution of various regional, national and international identities across Europe. Also examining the Irish experience, Alan Bairner explores the life stories of soccer players from a Catholic background who have represented Northern Ireland in international competition, including Pat Jennings, Martin O'Neill and Neil Lennon. This contribution particularly considers the link between the new political arrangements in the North and the possible emergence of a more widely shared sense of Northern Irishness. Other essays in the volume look at the role sport has played in countries across Europe, including France, Greece, Spain, Germany, England, Italy and Hungary, as well as exploring international governing bodies such as UEFA, which have significantly influenced the development of sport across the continent. The sports featured range from boxing to association football and athletics, including a study of the impact of the Olympic Games on Greek national identity by Eleni Theodoraki, a member of the Athens 2004 Organising Committee. Among the contributors are James Riordan, former professional footballer, Russian scholar and author of the bestselling Comrade Jim: the Spy who played for Spartak (Fourth Estate, 2008), who examines sport and politics in Russia and the former Soviet Union; eminent European sports specialist, Arnd Krüger, who looks at sport and identity in Germany since reunification; and Trinity College's very own 'boxing professor', David Scott, who traces the relation between boxing and masculinity from the later nineteenth century to the present day, focusing particularly on textual and visual representation. Sport Representation and Evolving Identities in Europe was launched earlier today in the Huston School of Film & Digital Media by Professor Mike Cronin, co-author of The GAA: A People's History and Academic Director, Boston College Ireland. -Ends-

The lecture will be given by NUI Galway's Dr Matt Redman from the Centre of Astronomy, School of Physics at NUI Galway, and will explore the life cycle of stars focussing on the way they are formed from enormous, bitterly cold dark clouds to their often spectacular ultimate destruction in supernova and other explosions. Aimed at a general audience, the talk will be illustrated with many tunning images from observatories such as the Hubble Space Telescope and the European Southern Observatory s Very Large Telescope. Dr Redman's research looks at the conditions around the birth of stars. His talk will also encompass the work of other members of the Centre of Astronomy. Speaking about the upcoming open evenings and lecture series, Dr Andrew Shearer, Director of the Centre of Astronomy, NUI Galway, said: "We are happy to start this years series of public lectures with Dr Matt Redman talk on the life of stars. We have planned five talks on different aspects of astronomy and are suitable for all. We are happy to showcase our work and thus illustrate the contribution NUI Galway makes to the public understanding of science." More details of all the talks can be found on http://astro.nuigalway.ie. -Ends-

New Career Mentoring Programme for NUI Galway MBA Students
Monday, 24 January 2011
The NUI Galway J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics recently launched the inaugural NUI Galway MBA Career & Professional Development Mentoring Programme. The programme is geared to provide MBA students with focused, individual, expert guidance on their career and professional development. "Our research of the top ranked international MBA programmes and survey of over 200 MBA Alumni students last year found that most MBA programmes do not focus sufficiently well on student career development and transfer of learning from the class to work" said Dr Alma McCarthy, MBA Programme Director at NUI Galway. The NUI Galway MBA Career & Professional Development Mentoring programme is designed to ensure MBA students are afforded the best opportunities possible to marry academic learning with professional practice. Pádraig Ó Céidigh, CEO of Aer Arann and Adjunct Professor in the School of Business & Economics, has been instrumental in the design, development and roll out of this initiative. He worked with the School, drawing on his extensive network of business and industry contacts, to generate a highly expert team of mentors. In total, the programme brings together 12 mentors from across a broad range of public and private sector organisations. The mentors have extensive national and international experience in business and industry and many are professionally qualified as career mentors and coaches. All the mentors have distinguished professional careers, some are NUI Galway graduates and many hold MBA qualifications themselves. Speaking at the official launch of the MBA Career Development Mentoring Programme, Dr Emer Mulligan, Head of the NUI Galway School of Business & Economics, said: "Our MBA is unique in having this offering and it is a real differentiating feature for the NUI Galway MBA programme. The calibre of the mentors is second to none and we are very lucky to have them on our doorstep and involved in this way with the School and University." Mentors can provide unique and valid external perspectives and insights into organisational life. The challenge for many MBA students is that they are so busy working and studying that they do not take sufficient time to reflect on their careers and make plans to achieve their goals. This programme will help students to respond to challenges in their careers and make their professional work lives easier. The mentoring programme will run for the duration of the two-year MBA programme. The MBA programme at NUI Galway is industry-led and globally-focused providing students with the knowledge, transferable skills and confidence required for innovative and effective management practice.

It was October of 2007, and it was my first time back in Nicaragua in over 5 years. Since my last trip in 2002, I had completed an MBA program and pursued a number of different endeavours; all attempts to fill a void I could feel in my heart every day. Nothing was clicking and I was truly exhausted, in desperate need of an escape, a vacation of some sort. Instead of packing my bags and heading to the resorts of Cancún, I booked my flight from Boston to Nicaragua again. Little did I know that in just a few years I would be flying that same route at least once a month.
Upon graduating high school in New York in 1995, poverty was already ingrained in my mind. My social studies teacher and mentor, Peter White, first opened my eyes up to the suffering of the poor through a new extracurricular club called Students For 60,000. I spent nights in New York City homeless shelters, volunteered in soup kitchens, worked with immigrant families struggling in communities only a few minutes down the road from my own, and fundraised for the club's largely regional projects. I even took leadership in running a fundraiser for those affected by the Oklahoma City bombing during my senior year.
It wasn't until the following summer, after my freshman year at Stonehill College, that I joined Peter on a trip to the community of Chacraseca in rural Nicaragua. I spoke no Spanish, and here I was in the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.The moments I hold close from that trip are crystal clear in my memory, everything from the home we built to the families we stayed with, to the time spent in the kitchen sorting beans and laughing with the women cooking for us.
From 1996 until 2002 I stayed involved with the people and projects so close to my heart, bringing my experiences in Nicaragua to all corners of my life. I even founded Stonehill's H.O.P.E. Alternative Spring Break program with a university affiliated trip to Nicaragua. The program has since grown to include 5 international sites and 10 domestic site locations.
So here I was again, it was 2007 and was back in Nicaragua when the moment came to me. I saw the same projects I worked on a decade before in college, I reconnected with those I created lasting memories with, I hugged those who just remembered my face and eccentric personality. I saw a family in a house where before no opportunity existed, I saw children in schools, and at large a community with incredible potential. Together with other Nicaraguans, I wanted to identify the root causes of poverty and the struggles of living in the developing world. That trip showed me that I was ready to be a part of the solutions.
Now it's 2013 and I'm the Director and Co-founder of a Boston based nonprofit called FriendsNE. Our projects have already dramatically transformed the lives of thousands of people in Haiti, Peru, and Nicaragua since our inception in early 2011. Through collaboration with so many partners across various fields and networks, we have identified shortfalls in past projects and are making steps toward complete sustainability every day. As an organization, FriendsNE has adopted a unique community-based approach in order to focus on the most immediate problems faced by impoverished communities, ranging from health care and education to houses and scholarships. Bridges have been built between Nicaraguans and volunteers from all around the world, forming relationships that grow and raise awareness of the reality that is global poverty. It is only when people help each other hand-in-hand that we will see a brighter future for all. www.friendsne.org

Dear friends and colleagues,
I am excited to share with you this recently released publication that features my artwork "Propagation Seems Good Here Tonight." I will be performing this project on October 18, 7pm, at Issue Project Room in Brooklyn, NY. Read more....http://www.issueprojectroom.org/2011/08/17/transmission-arts-artists-and-airwaves/
Transmission Arts: Artists & Airwaves
Galen Joseph-Hunter / with Penny Duff, and Maria Papadomanolaki
PAJ Publications
"In this ground-breaking look at a new art genre, Transmission Arts: Artists and Airwaves brings together a genealogy of 150 artists and artworks—and more than 250 images—from 1921 to the present that encompasses performance, video, radio theatre, sound art, media installation, networked art, and acoustic ecology. Here is a fascinating account of the ingenuity and creativity of artists who have made new discoveries in broadcast, public works, performance composition, sound, and text, stretching the boundaries of both transmitter and receiver. At a time when public access struggles with corporate control of the airwaves, artists have combined activism and communications technologies to represent alternative worlds on the electromagnetic spectrum."

Tea Party members could reasonably feel fear of violence from union activists after Hoffa's call to "take out" Tea Party members. Given the history of violence associated with unions in general and the Teamsters in particular (Hoffa's father, also president of Teamsters, is widely believed to have been murdered by fellow Teamsters.) Of course, both the Michigan attorney general and the U.S. attorney general would need to assess the specific statutes to see whether or not Hoffa's words are criminally proscribed. (Yes, I know it is unlikely that Attorney General Eric Holder would follow this suggestion -- more's the pity.)
Whether Hoffa's words are criminal or not, with words like "terrorist," "lynching," "go to hell," and "take them out," the emerging tone of the Democratic Party regarding the Tea Party is ominous. It is the language of murderous violence, and it is targeted at a specific group of people. Most disturbing is the failure of the Democratic Party leaders to condemn such language -- including Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Debbie Wasserman Schultz -- who on national television specifically and repeatedly evaded any comment on Hoffa's statement. No president or other party leader can be held responsible for the utterances of all his political colleagues, nor can he or she be expected to respond to every intemperate word. But when the words are by other party leaders themselves and are nationally reported, a moral obligation arises to condemn such language.
One would have to be stubbornly blind and deaf to the current mood not to sense that the nation is moving towards one of the most combustible moments in our political history. America has had three years of economic hard times, deep, and perhaps, unprecedented national pessimism regarding both the present and the future, angry polarization of political attitudes -- and elements of a senior leadership of the Democratic Party that, by its silence, might seem to be assenting to such imploration. And all of it is happening as we enter an always-emotional national election campaign.
It is a commonplace to observe that we rarely appreciate the value of what we have until we lose it. And despite all our current difficulties, America has been -- and remains -- blessed with a nonviolent political and electoral process. We should cling to that tradition with both hands because Americans are generally a rough and ready people. That we have kept violence largely out of our political process can thus almost be seen as providential. We should not, however, rely on providence in that regard. Keeping our politics peaceful is up to each of you, and I have never seen an upcoming political season more in need of our attention to that civic duty.

Donegal Castle
Donegal Castle, meaning «fort of the foreigner », is situation along the River Eske near Donegal Bay in Donegal Town, north west Ireland. It was built by the O'Donnell chieftain, who ruled Donegal for over a thousand years, in the 15th century. Later it was extended in the 17th century by Sir Basil Brooke who built the rectangular tower and added the banqueting hall. It was the Earl of Arran who donated the castle to the Office of Public Works in 1898. For the last two centuries most of the castle was in ruins until the 1990s when it was fully restored. Around the limestone and sandstone Jacobean style building is a 17th century boundary wall. The castle can be visited, inside you'll find a collection of Persian rugs and French tapestries, as well as panels which cover the history of the castles owners from the O'Donnells to the Brooke family. Tour guides are available each hour and the admission fee is of 4€ for adults and 2€ for children and students. Seniors and groups are charged 3€. It is open for visits from 9.30am to 6.30pm from mid June to October. The castle is often used for hosting events, such as Gaelic cultural evenings.

Vezér Family Vineyard
Wind tousles the broad leaves of vines above clusters of grapes the off-black blue of the dusk sky. Frank and Liz Vezér, owners of Vezér Family Vineyard, originally began growing the fruit to help fill the needs of wine producers including Ravenswood and Sin Zin. More than a decade ago, they also began producing their own wines. "One could call it beginner's luck," says Touring and Tasting Magazine, "but their award-winning streak has yet to be broken. Every single wine Vezér has produced has won a top award or superior rating. Of most recent note, the 2007 Vezér Cabernet Sauvignon won double gold at the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition and a whopping 97 points at a blind tasting at Napa's Bay Leaf Restaurant."
The winery adjoins the original Pony Express offices, and one can still almost hear the sound of plodding hooves and hooves frustratedly trying to apply stamps. On a copper-roofed cupola, an equine weathervane twists to face the winds above a sweeping swath of grass that fills with chatter during weddings and other events.

|HYDRACHARGE, LLC Patent applications
|Patent application number
|HYDRAULIC TURBO ACCELERATOR APPARATUS - A hydraulic drive assists to increase the acceleration rate of a turbocharger impeller/turbine shaft assembly and provide a secondary means of driving the compressor impeller at lower engine speeds where exhaust gases alone does not generate adequate shaft speeds to create significant induction boost. The hydraulic circuit includes a dual displacement motor, which provides high torque for acceleration yet converts to a single motor for high-speed operation. When the exhaust driven turbine function allows compressor speeds, beyond which the hydraulic system can contribute, a slip clutch allows disengagement of the hydraulic drive. The hydraulic circuit is integrated with the power steering circuit to conserve energy and supportive components such as lines and reservoir. In an alternative embodiment, there is no turbocharger and the hydraulic drive provides means of forced induction air alone.

Opposition protesters beat the drums during the march in central Kiev, Ukraine, Thursday, July 5, 2012. About 1,000 opposition activists were rallying in the capital of Ukraine on Thursday to protest legislation upgrading the status of the Russian language. The Ukrainian parliament passed the bill Tuesday that would allow the use of Russian in courts, education and other government institutions in Russian-speaking regions of the country. The inscription on the face, 'Veto'.

Lviv Regional Council to appeal against adoption of language law in Higher Administrative Court
Ukraine's sizable Russian-speaking minority won a major victory on Wednesday when a new law was approved that allows the official use of the language in many regions. Critics see the change as a threat to this former Soviet country's identity and its hopes of moving further away from the Russian fold.
The law, signed by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, leaves Ukrainian as the only state language, but it allows public servants and citizens to file official documentation in Russian at government bodies, courts and other state institutions in the regions where more than 10 percent of residents are Russian speakers.
Russian is spoken predominantly in the east and south of the country, while Ukrainian is spoken in western Ukraine. But Ukrainian has picked up across the country since the nation became independent after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union.
According to a 2001 census, 68 percent of Ukrainians name Ukrainian their native tongue, while 30 percent said it was Russian. Another census is scheduled for next year.
Opponents say the law could upset Ukraine's fragile linguistic balance by removing incentives for millions of Russian-speaking Ukrainians to learn to speak and write Ukrainian.
Critics also fear the law will push Ukraine closer to Russia and away from the West. Some have called the law a cheap ploy by Yanukovych to win votes in the Russian-speaking east, his support base, ahead of October's parliamentary election.
Pro-Western opposition forces led by jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko vowed to annul the "anti-Ukrainian law" and bring Yanukovych to justice. Her party also protested a decision by election officials to ban Tymoshenko and her jailed former Interior Minister Yuri Lutsenko, from running in the election.
The legislation that Parliament approved regarding the Russian language caused violent brawls among lawmakers and during street rallies, and Yanukovych's move will likely fuel further protests.
In an apparent attempt to assuage his critics, Yanukovych also set up a body to promote the use of Ukrainian.

There"s plenty to like at this Brazilian eatery--just not the food. The space is inviting and the service gracious, but few of the dishes we tried measured up to the atmosphere. An entrée of duck breast marinated with cachaça and lime was overcooked, and its accompanying brown sauce was thin and harsh. Worse was the coconut-milk-based seafood stew, full of fishy mussels, wan scallops, shrimp and fish. Desserts, including a dense caramel flan, were better, but not enough to compensate for the prior missteps. The setting may be pleasant, but in the end that can"t save mediocre cooking.

Second Chances is a Death Note Fan Fiction by Spades 44.The plot revolves around L Lawliet, the genius detective who was killed midway through the original story. The story itself takes place in the second world, a Mundane Afterlife that is exactly the same as the one in which he lived before his death. The only major difference between the two worlds is the expulsion of those who committed a significant crime to Hell.Enter L, working with his teammates Naomi Penber, Raye Penber, Mail Jeevas, and Touta Matsuda, as he solves crime throughout the second world, all while avoiding the use of the very instrument that took his life at the behest of a malicious shinigami called Rae.It is a relatively long story at 67 chapters and over 400,000 words, and is rather well-known among the Death Note fandom.It is also now complete, and has a sequel/continuation called Third Time Lucky, the summary of which would be a Late-Arrival Spoiler.Needs Wiki Magic Love.

- Action Girl: Naomi Penber.
- Ambiguously Evil: Rae at first.
- Rae also sees L as this at first.
- Anyone Can Die: Considering that they're already all dead, this is to be expected. However, many major characters do die over the course of the story.
- Arc Villain: Several.
- Bernard Holland and Teru Mikami, who was trapped in Hell as a Gorgon, serve as the antagonists for several chapters.
- Kiyomi Takada of the faux-Kira arc.
- Character Development: Just about everyone.
- L becomes softer and cares more for his teammates as the story goes on.
- Rae goes from a cruel, malicious shinigami to legitimately caring about L.
- Becomes even more stark after you hit The Reveal and realise that by the end of the Second Chances, Light Yagami has gone from being the ruthless mass murderer who killed L to (apparently) giving up his existence to save L's life.
- Mail, while he still remains a depressed loner after learning that Mello is in Hell, begins to open up to everyone more over the course of the story.
- Cliffhanger: All the time.
- Interspecies Romance: L and Rae. Well, sort of.
- Loves My Alter Ego: L is terrified at the thought of coming across Light again, and has fallen in love with Rae. As of Third Time Lucky, he still has no idea they are really one and the same.
- Slash Fic: It must be noted that this does not take up the entire story, and there is very little explicit so far.
- The Reveal: While there was enough Foreshadowing to make it an I Knew It for a many reviewers, it's only right near the end that it is confirmed that Rae was Light Yagami in Hell all along.

Major events this week include Canadian bank earnings, which get underway on Wednesday, the Bank of Canada's latest rate decision and first-quarter gross domestic product data. Read More »
Canada's major banks for months have faced the prospect of a slowdown in their domestic lending operations amid expectations for consumers — prodded by government regulation — to cut their heavy debt loads.
While the banks acknowledge this overall trend, the first-quarter earnings from Toronto-Dominion Bank, the country's biggest lender by assets, are the latest example of how the so-called "Big 5" can take advantage of their dominating size to win new business from Canadian consumers and businesses.
TD reported better-than-expected earnings Thursday, benefiting in part from a 5% gain in net income from its Canadian banking operations. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, the smallest of the major banks, also reported first-quarter results Thursday, besting expectations as its core personal and commercial operation posted 11% earnings growth.
Royal Bank of Canada, and Bank of Montreal, the second and fourth-largest lenders, established the trend in results they reported earlier this week.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal's Canada Real Time earlier Thursday, TD Chief Financial Officer Colleen Johnston discussed the bank's domestic lending division and explained the challenges to earnings growth in the bank's U.S. division. Here's an edited version of that interview. Read More »
By Alistair MacDonald
Royal Bank of Canada is no longer Canada's largest bank, measured by total assets. That crown now goes to cross-town rival Toronto-Dominion Bank, according to fillings that both banks made to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
At Oct. 31, the end of their latest fiscal years, RBC had 860.8 billion Canadian dollars ($811.8 billion) in total assets, while TD Bank was just ahead with assets of C$862.5 billion, according to the documents filed earlier this month.
A year earlier, RBC had C$825.1 billion in assets against TD's C$811 billion.
Still, RBC remains Canada's top bank, and one of the world's largest, based on market capitalization, and that is what matters, Chief Executive Gordon Nixon said in a recent interview. Read More »
By Ben Dummett
Canada's debt-laden consumers and ballooning housing market are often cited as reasons its banks' domestic lending business is at risk. But Toronto-Dominion Bank's fourth-quarter earnings would appear to stand that view on its head, at least for now.
TD, the country's second-largest bank by assets, said its Canadian personal and commercial banking earnings grew by 14% year-over-year in the fourth quarter, compared with a 7% increase in earnings for its U.S. personal and commercial banking operation.
On the surface, the Canadian division's out-performance seems odd. Conventional wisdom suggests TD like other Canadian banks is poised to see a slowdown in lending as overextended consumers here pare back. Moreover, TD and the country's other major banks already dominate lending, suggesting limited future growth for the group. By comparison, TD isn't nearly as established in the bigger U.S. market, signaling more potential to add new customers.
In an interview Thursday, Colleen Johnston, TD's chief financial officer, said compressed interest margins in the U.S. partly explain the stronger earnings growth rate in Canada, though she said conditions on that front are improving. Read More »

The timing may be right for Canada's 'Big Six' banks to adopt stock splits, but that doesn't mean their shareholders will see a big benefit from that particular move, at least in the short term.
Stock splits typically involve a company dividing its existing shares into two or more shares. They're often done to make a company's stock more appealing to retail investors by making the purchase price of a share a fraction of its original level. Companies also hope a stock split will generate greater investor interest by increasing their total share count, making it easier to trade the securities.
Over the past 30 years, Canada's large-cap banks – Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank, Bank of Montreal, Bank of Nova Scotia, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and National Bank of Canada – have collectively announced 14 stock splits, and the average stock price at which they did these was a little over 60 Canadian dollars ($57.60), according to an equity research note by Barclays. Currently, all these banks are trading above this threshold, suggesting a new round of splits could be in the offing, particularly since the last time a Canadian bank announced a share split was more than seven years, ago, Barclays says.

As analysts brace for Canada's four big bank to report on the same day Thursday, the two other Big Six lenders dazzled investors in the industry's warm-up act Tuesday.
Acquisitions and consumer lending boosted earnings at Bank of Nova Scotia and Bank of Montreal.
Despite the profit gains, loan-loss provisions jumped at both banks.
BMO's loan-loss provisions edged up to C$237 million from C$230 million. Provision for credit losses at Scotiabank shot up to C$402 million from C$250 million last year on concern weakening economic forecasts and continuing global uncertainty could hurt its consumer lending portfolio. Read More »

Across Bay Street, analysts are gearing up for Super Thursday.
Every three months, Canada's Big Six banks report—in the space of about two weeks—their quarterly earnings. Canada's banks are some of the safest in the world, and the banking sector plays a crucial role in Canada's relatively robust economy. That has analysts, investors and financial journalists eagerly devouring the reams of disclosures that come with each bank's release.
This quarter, however, the stars have aligned in such a way that four of the six are reporting on the same day—Thursday. Three of them will report early that morning, sometime after 5:30 a.m. Read More »

Gear Test | Bicycle Speakers (NY Times)
Posted Tue, 01/05/2010 - 10:48am
RIDING a bicycle with headphones occupying both ears is not just dangerous, but also illegal in New York and many other states. And while it's O.K. to ride with just one ear plugged in, that's not always very pleasant. Gadget makers have devised a solution: compact speakers for MP3 players that are meant to be attached to a bicycle, either on the handlebars or elsewhere. The rider selects the songs, attaches the music player to the speakers, then listens and rides with ears wide open.

More Than Aerial Photography
When planning a tactical operation, maps are good, aerial photos are better, and having both is great, although it doesn't happen very often. When aerial photos are available, they are usually outdated, taken from directly overhead of the objective, and are not detailed enough to show man-on-the-ground features. What if you could have aerial photos that were tied to a computerized mapping program, not more than two years old, showed detail as small as six inches, and offered views from all four compass points?
The image sets offered by Pictometry® do just that. Using proprietary methods and technologies, Pictometry produces extremely detailed sets of aerial images of an entire county, with every feature and landmark photographed from multiple angles and resolutions.
The images are all digital, and are linked to a computer-based map of the entire surveyed area. By clicking a mouse on the area of the map to be viewed, the user is taken to a screen showing all available views of that area, and can then select the ones best suited for the task. Users can zoom in on any image to pick up additional detail.
Orthogonal and Oblique
The images from any one county make up one complete set. When they are contracted to produce the image set, a Cessna 172 light aircraft overflies the county in strips, collecting digital photos with specially designed cameras. Overflights are made at approximately 5,000 and 2,500 feet, and from all four compass directions.
The images are also from two views. The orthogonal view (straight down) is like a map or traditional aerial image, and is useful for planning and orienting against a standard map. Oblique (angled) views are from a perspective of about 45 degrees, and show detail of the sides of buildings, signs, and other visual information that might not be so obvious when seen from directly overhead.
The value of these oblique views should not be underestimated. Even though very tall buildings are obvious when viewed from the conventional ground-level perspective, there is no sense of their height when viewed from directly overhead. It is virtually impossible to distinguish a 20-story building from a one-story building with a similar perimeter, unless there are shadows or other cues that give it away. With the oblique view, the difference between structures becomes instantly evident.
The resolution of the images is extremely high. Images taken from the higher altitude, called community views, resolve to about two feet per pixel, where the neighborhood view images from the 2,500 foot altitude are at about six inches per pixel. This is plenty sufficient to see the placement of doors, windows, clotheslines, doghouses, and other details that would be useful in tactical planning, but not be a threat to personal privacy.
License plates, faces, and other similarly small details are not discernable even at the greatest resolutions and magnifications. Neighborhood images are about 0.5 mile long by 0.25 mile wide, where community view images are about 1.25 miles long and 0.75 miles wide.
In order to reduce costs, rural areas, where there is less need for detail, are imaged at the higher altitude, whereas urban, built-up areas will have the full range of images available. The end result is that every square foot of the county will have at least three and as many as 20 different views available to all users, with an average around 12.
User Interface
The user interface to the Pictometry software is fairly intuitive. On an overview map of the entire county (and surrounding counties, where those images are available) shown in the main workspace window, a blue outline placed by the user identifies the area of interest. A pane to the right of the main workspace has thumbnail views of all the images available for the area identified. Clicking on one of the thumbnails brings it into the main workspace.
For each image, a compass-rose alongside the thumbnail shows the view angle, so that the user does not become disoriented. …

This comprehensive study of an unexplained apparent dermopathy demonstrated no infectious cause and no evidence of an environmental link. There was no indication that it would be helpful to perform additional testing for infectious diseases as a potential cause. Future efforts should focus on helping patients reduce their symptoms through careful attention to treatment of co-existing medical, including psychiatric conditions, that might be contributing to their symptoms.
So the CDC says there are no infectious causes or an environmental link to Morgellons, then how can Cliff Carnicom say that chemtrails cause Morgellons?
And lastly how does he actually know what he tested was even Morgellons or even from a so called chemtrail?
I realize this is a rhetorical question, but surely an imaginary disease is best explained by an imaginary cause.
carnicoms research has determined the important need for funding to persue more focused and sophisticated research , consider donating on line

Chander Pahar (Mountains Of The Moon)
- Studio: It's all been arranged

- Summary: Faced with the prospect of a dim future in his impoverished village, young Shankar bids farewell to his family in rural Bengal and makes a journey to the fabled Mountain Of The Moon in search of gold and diamond mines.

- Genre(s): Adventure

Score distribution:
Positive: 0 out of 7
Mixed: 2 out of 7
Negative: 5 out of 7
Jan 13, 2014The compositions are dull. The scenes are flimsy and shapeless. The pacing is the direct antithesis of what normally induces the excitement of adventure.
Shooting in South Africa and Botswana, director Kamaleshwar Mukherjee never lacks for atmosphere, but his film is painfully awkward in execution, from the stiff dialogue to the time-padding slo-mo sequences and glaring CGI.
The movie's editing mishaps, unbelievable scenarios, overuse of music and computer-generated fakery distract from what should be a great adventure.
One reason Chander Pahar seems so plodding is that Mr. Mukherjee has a habit of telling us what he doesn't know how to show.

Rims on my Ferrari, my bitch said that I was childish
Lyric Meaning
Ross could be referring to the fact that blowing money on unnecessary expenses and material possessions like rims could be seen as immature and childish. Jay-Z expressed this same sentiment back in 2006:
Young enough to know the right car to buy
Yet grown enough not to put rims on it
It doesn't look like Ross is too concerned with saving his money, however.
