Tanzania Global Learning Agency (TaGLA), formerly called Tanzania Development Learning Centre (TGDLC), is a government institution and a
member of the Global Development Learning Network (GDLN) with over 120networked development communication hubs globally. Our Correspondent BEATRICE PHILEMON recently interviewed the organisation's interim executive director CHARLES SENKONDO on the institution's change from being a project into an agency and its social significance. Excerpts:
QUESTION: Why have you changed from a project to an agency?
ANSWER: TGDLC started as an adjunct to the Public Sector Reform Programme (PSRP) as a capacity building sub-component in 2000 and since December last year, it was transformed into a fully-fledged agency to increase efficiency and make its services reach out to as many people as possible and enable them to share knowledge, experiences and skills with other people across the world through capacity building programmes.
TGDLC as an institution has been growing and demand for its services have continued increasing. Such growth has necessitated for a new way of operating and a need for a legal status, which will best position the facility to support ongoing reforms and entire public demands for better services.
In order to respond to the above demands, TGDLC conducted an organisational review in 2009. The review recommended that TGDLC be transformed into a new set up, hence initiation of a comprehensive engaging transformation process leading to the formation of TaGLA.
So, every Tanzanian should utilise these capacity building programmes by participating in diverse dialogues, training programmes, meetings and diverse enabling innovations that improve decision making processes and accelerate development in our country.
Q: What facilities do you use or interested people supposed to have in order to access TaGLA's videoconferences from where they are?
A: Currently, the facilities are at the Institute of Finance Management (IFM) in Dar es Salaam, which provide access to the Global Development Learning Network (GDLN) with over 120 similar facilities across the world (www.gdln.org).
The facilities provide real-time videoconference capability to enable Tanzanians to interact with other communities globally on development issues, skill enhancement and peer communication. There are also multimedia facilities allowing access to vast knowledge and training materials available online through internet.
Q: Do you have any sub-centres in the country or any plans to have them in the future to facilitate a smooth running of TaGLA programmes?
A: Currently, there are no other centres within Tanzania. There has been initial dialogue and studies to establish such facilities within the country. The emerging connectivity solutions and new innovations on quality videoconferencing capability have brought about new opportunities that will make it a reality to have videoconferencing capability in many parts of Tanzania coordinated by TaGLA.
Q: What should Tanzanians expect from TaGLA. What were the limitations of TGDLC as a project and what are the advantages of TaGLA as an agency)?
A: The establishment of TaGLA will further achieve earlier set goals by TGDLC through the legal mandate embedded to the establishment, ability to take advantage of emerging opportunities and address challenges earlier faced within the new frame work with more autonomy. The new structure will also utilise existing relationship with institutions in other parts of the African continent and the rest of the world.
Q: What challenges do you face and how do you address them?
A: One major challenge is people's mindset to accept new ways of learning. This is both at individual and institutional level. Many people still find it difficult to believe that such a technology exists and can equally deliver, just like when people, who are geographically separated, meet in a single room. Those who have started attending organised sessions and events understand and take on board new ways of looking at things but still the majority of people have not got the opportunity.
It is through the media, organised sessions for familiarisation and the current move to have multiple facilities within Tanzania that we will be able to reach out to the majority of people in Tanzania.
Other challenges include the fast changing technologies that demand regular upgrades, the reliability if technology across the country as we move across regions that will demand for alternative sources of energy and high costs of connectivity that we are addressing by adopting and developing new platforms that can help ease communication using portable solutions.
Q: How can your programmes empower the media to perform better? Do you run programmes that concern the media but are probably not known to media houses?
A: There has been an outcry to have the media engaged in every session we conduct. This brings an advantage that, once journalists are informed, then they can inform the public and in-turn, have a multiplier effect. In addition to that, we have specific programmes that target media practitioners.
This has been going on since 2000 when the institution was established. We appeal to the media to utilise the facility we have by linking the rest of the world through learning to gain knowledge and also inform Tanzanians. We are updating our website and communicating with relevant institutions on upcoming events, in addition to tailored events that can be customised to meet specific needs.
Q: Dou you have any other information you would like Tanzanians to know about TaGLA?
A: Yes. The government has already invested by establishing the state-of-the art facility for Tanzanians to gain from. There are planned courses, specific dialogues and knowledge exchange events in areas of leadership development, good governance, climate change, agriculture, urban development, health, education, diversity, information communication technology (ICT), regional integration and many more.
It is an opportunity that every Tanzanian needs to utilise by participating in diverse dialogues, training programmes, meetings and diverse efficiency enabling innovations that improve the speed of informed decision-making and accelerated development in our country.

Tuesday night was a big night for Democrats across the country. It was also a big night for women. Both trends played out in New Hampshire. There, as in Maine, Democrats took control of the House, where they had been a distinct minority. And as of January, New Hampshire will have the nation's first all-female congressional delegation, and the only female democratic governor. John Gregg, local news editor at the Valley News in Lebanon, New Hampshire discussed the Granite State's election day.

|9 entrepreneur lessons not taught in the classroom
|Entrepreneurship is all about leading – leading customers to a new product or service, leading a startup team to peak performance, and leading a new business to the market opportunity, while providing maximum return to stakeholders. Most entrepreneurs feel they have innate leadership talents, but struggle with how to nurture these abilities and measure their effectiveness.
|The Steve Jobs emails that show how to win a hard-nosed negotiation
|The US government's price-fixing lawsuit against Apple goes to trial next month in New York. Ahead of its court date, the US released emails that purport to show Apple was the "ringleader" in a scheme to set artificially high ebook prices with some of the largest American publishers, which have already settled the case.

The man whose body was later used as the Preta Path was a Kusagakure ninja, whom Jiraiya met during his travels around the world. In the anime, it was shown that he was both a ninja and a farmer, who had failed to cultivate the land for his family due to his participation in war. After his death, his body was used by Nagato as one of his Six Paths of Pain.
He was a stocky man with beady brown eyes. He had brown hair that was hidden by a bandanna-like forehead protector and wore a tan-coloured shirt with a black shirt underneath. His complexion was also noticeably darker when he was alive.
While his corpse was being used as the Preta Path he, like all of the Six Paths of Pain, possessed Nagato's Rinnegan as well as orange hair, which was tied in a short ponytail. His body was covered in piercings which acted as chakra receivers, allowing Nagato to control him remotely. He had small spiked piercings covering his entire bottom lip, two vertical spike studs on the front of his nose, one spike stud on each cheek, a spike going through each ear and a stud on each of his shoulders, close to his neck.
As his body was given the Preta Path ability, Nagato was able to use him to absorb chakra. By using the Blocking Technique Absorption Seal, he was able to absorb any ninjutsu that came into contact with him, which made him useful as a means of defence. He could also absorb chakra from somebody directly by making physical contact with them.
As with all of the Six Paths of Pain, the Preta Path's vision was shared with Nagato, which allowed him to better coordinate their movements.
Part II
Itachi Pursuit Arc
The Preta Path was one of the two paths summoned by the Animal Path and was used to absorb Jiraiya's Sage Art: Goemon and Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan. It was later caught in a genjutsu along with the Animal Path and Human Path, and subsequently killed by Jiraiya. The three were then revived by the Naraka Path and joined the other three paths in confronting Jiraiya. The Preta Path, along with the others, stabbed Jiraiya with black rods, which ultimately lead to his death.
Invasion of Pain
Preta Path is seen in the morgue hovering over the former Animal Path with its chakra receivers in hand. Before he has a chance to move, a flash bomb rolls towards his feet and detonates. Using the moment, Tsume Inuzuka and Kuromaru attacked with Fang Passing Fang but only attack the Animal Path that was used as a shield. Kiba Inuzuka shows up riding on his dog Akamaru and points out where Preta Path was hiding, while his mother comments on how Preta Path didn't like physical attacks. He is shown later being summoned by Konan before Nagato put all his focus on the Deva Path, though he is reanimated when Naruto finally comes back to Konoha.
As Naruto and the Path's fight, Preta Path tries to stab Naruto with a Chakra Disruption Blades but misses and is thrown back by Naruto's Frog Kata. He is later revived by Naraka Path and appears in front of Deva Path right before it was about to be hit by Wind Release: Rasenshuriken and absorbs the technique. Being one of the last two Paths to survive, Nagato used Deva Path's Banshō Ten'in to pull Naruto to them and Preta Path to grab him. As Preta Path starts to absorb Naruto's natural energy, he is transformed into a frog statue and has his arms broke off his petrified body.

- Hosted by the Center for Transformative Learning at Meridian University
- A Future for Earth:
- Re-Imagining Learning for a Transforming World
- The futures of our planet and humanity are inextricably woven together. Profound transformations in our world are currently underway on many dimensions — personal, environmental, cultural, societal, and economic. To engage these challenges, we must collaboratively re-imagine how we engage individuals, institutions, and societies in learning new capacities and habits of being. At the upcoming Tenth International Conference on Transformative Learning, we strive to envision a more coherent and dynamic praxis for transformative learning in multiple domains and at multiple levels. We gather to articulate with more diversity and clarity what we already know, and to explore what we can discover together, to create a just and sustainable future.

More Downstairs Food: Cottage Pie, Shepherd's Pie and More
In this week's Seasonal Pantry, which you can read here, I talk about some of the differences between upstairs food and downstairs food, as seen in the classic Masterpiece drama "Upstairs Downstairs" and the hugely popular "Downton Abbey," which started its third season this last Sunday evening. Interestingly, Sunday's plot turned–in part–on food. These days, the lines are blurred, though more so in the United States than in England, which was true back then, as well.

Flight 985 to John F. Kennedy Airport had around 300 passengers onboard when it was diverted to Glasgow's Prestwick Airport after a passenger found the letter in a lavatory, EgyptAir chairman Tawfiq Assi said.
Britain's Ministry of Defense confirmed that that fighter jets were scrambled to escort the plane to the Glasgow airport, but referred further questions to police in Glasgow.
Police in Glasgow confirmed that officers were responding to an incident but declined to provide further detail.
Assi said the flight is now being checked by a technical team that includes bomb disposal experts.
Passengers were let off to wait in Glasgow's airport, and officials are also looking into their backgrounds, he said, adding that the flight hopefully will resume its journey to New York following inspections.

Los Santos (HD Universe)
this wiki
- "Imagine a city full of people ruthlessly pursuing wealth, fame and self-improvement, at any cost? Where everyone you met was either a celebrity, trying to be a celebrity, or used to be a celebrity? Where nature's bounty meant you could enjoy perfect weather all year round? Where the air was so good you could literally see and taste it? Dare to dream, because that city exists..."
- ―GTA V Manual
Los Santos is a fictional city located in the southwestern United States in Los Santos County within the State of San Andreas in Grand Theft Auto V. GTA V is the city's 2nd appearance in the series after GTA San Andreas, with Los Santos being much more detailed, larger, and geographically accurate. Los Santos is based on Los Angeles, California, and its greater metropolitan area. Los Santos is Spanish for "The Saints", a play on "The Angels", which is the translation of Los Angeles.
Like its real-life counterpart of LA, Los Santos is a huge and sprawling metropolis with various different cultures, ranging from the prestigious film-making industry of Vinewood to the suburban hood life of Davis, just to name a couple. Like Liberty City in GTA IV, the time and date of the city is the same as the year the game was released (2013). GTA V's rendition of Los Santos is divided into the sections of North Los Santos, East Los Santos, West Los Santos and South Los Santos, in which beneath the sections, the streets are divided into districts. There is one incorporated city in Los Santos.
The city is served by the Los Santos International Airport, which is one of the busiest airports in the world. Los Santos also has an extensive transit system that reaches all around the city.
it is the County Seat of Los Santos County, and the Principal City of the Los Santos Metropolitan Area which includes all of Los Santos and Blaine County

South Los Santos is mostly based off of South Los Angeles, as well as the city of Long Beach. Davis is based off of Compton. The port and docks of Los Santos is defined also as South Los Santos.

East Los Santos
East Los Santos comprises the neighborhoods bounded between the Los Santos Freeway and the Los Santos River to the west and the Tataviam and Palomino Highlands mountain ranges to the east. East LS is primarily made up of various different Hispanic/Latino immigrants, mostly Mexican. Like South LS, East LS has many criminals lurking about, and it is said that tourists are unsafe even in daytime. The Vagos operate here. The area sees considerable disparities of wealth, with northern districts (e.g. East Vinewood and Mirror Park) being home to the elite and middle classes, districts in central east Los Santos (e.g. El Burro Heights, Murrieta Heights, La Mesa) possessing working class residents and southern districts being home to many of Los Santos' harsh industrial facilities.

West Los Santos
West Los Santos comprises the neighborhoods that sprawl west from Downtown Los Santos, extending as far as the Pacific Bluffs, at the city's western limits. Whilst not as affluent as North Los Santos, neighborhoods in the west of the city generally still possess high levels of wealth. West LS is home to the city's beautiful beaches that are extremely crowded. The famous Pleasure Pier is located here, boasting various attractions such as a roller coaster or even a Ferris wheel.

Important Highways/Streets
- See Interstate System in GTA V and List of Street Names for more information.
Los Santos offers a wide range of transportation, including a connected major highway system, and several other smaller highways, with several exits and on-ramps around the city. The city also has its own rapid transit system named the Los Santos Transit. Buses can also be seen spawned in traffic all around the city. Like most cities, Los Santos traffic is monitored and controlled by the Los Santos Transport Traffic Control System which allows the city to control traffic lights and manipulate conditions and the flow of vehicles on the streets and highways.
Los Santos International Airport (LSX) is located south of Los Santos and is the only airport in the city.

Law Enforcement
Main article: LSPD in HD UniverseThe Los Santos Police Department (LSPD) is the law enforcement agency that serves Los Santos, along with the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department. They are based on the real life Los Angeles Police Department. Their motto is "Obey & Survive", which is inscripted on their squad cars and also reflects on their corrupt nature. Unlike the LCPD, they use newer Vapid Police Cruisers and also use Vapid Interceptor, as apposed to the Merit-based Police Patrol, but they still use the Police Maverick as their main squad and helicopter units, respectively. The LSPD is accused of corruption and racism, much like its predecessor and the LAPD.
The NOOSE also has a presence in the city of Los Santos, as one of its branches is located in the Los Santos International Airport area, while its main headquarters are located in the Palomino Highlands, north-east of the city.
For the most part of the city, many of the neighborhoods in Los Santos suffer from high crime rates, specifically the southern part of the city. Since the 1990's, Los Santos is primarily affected from drug trades between many gangs in the city. These drugs include crack, cocaine, and crystal meth.
Besides the drug trades, the city suffers from violence, murder, and gang-fighting in the southern part of the city (mainly Chamberlain Hills, Davis, and Strawberry). Most of these crimes are caused by the two long time rival African-American street gangs, the Families and the Ballas. They are involved in arms-trafficking as well.
Other than small time street gangs, there are other influential and organized crime groups in the city. The Marabunta Grande, a powerful Salvadorian crime syndicate, are expanding their operations to Los Santos. They have fierce rivalries with other gangs all over San Andreas that are involved in the narcotics trade. Another gang, the Los Santos Triads, are a Chinese crime syndicate have lots of influence by using their owned businesses around Los Santos as fronts for their crime and importing narcotics from the docks.

May 4, 2016
Associated Press Release
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Legislation to prevent the government from going over the so-called fiscal cliff will also block a $900 automatic pay hike for members of Congress.
It's one more reason for lawmakers to vote for the measure extending Bush-era tax cuts on individual income up to $450,000 while increasing rates for earnings above that threshold.
Under a 1989 law, lawmakers are supposed to receive automatic cost-of-living pay hikes, but as Congress' approval ratings have fallen, lawmakers have routinely voted to reject the raise.
Lawmakers make $174,000 a year. They had already voted in September to block the pay raise through March 27, but President Barack Obama recently issued an executive order to implement it, along with a pay increase for federal workers.

Spend time talking with Tom Brady and quickly you notice something strange. He's is a nice guy—friendly, exceedingly humble, confident but not cocky. This is not supposed to be the case. Not for someone who is (a) the star quarterback for the New England Patriots, without question the best football team of the decade. And (b) a man who has had the enviable fortune, presumably due to being a star quarterback, to date the sort of women (actress Bridget Moynahan, model Gisele Bundchen) who to the rest of us appear as mere mirages. Indeed, it is something of rule—especially in this era of celebrity egocentrism gone wild, and especially among pro athletes, a subset of the population typically immune to modesty—that if you live such a life as Brady's, you will not be a nice, friendly, or humble.
And yet...
The thing to understand about Brady is this: he was not supposed to become a superstar. Even today, he's spent more of his life as an obscure, underrated who's that guy than as resident golden boy. He did not start in high school. He sat on the bench for his first two years at the University of Michigan. And when he finally got to play? He was good, remarkably so in pressure situations, but he was not considered great. When he entered the NFL, in 2000, he was the 199th pick in the draft, of 254 total, placing him far closer to the bottom than the top. Even in an age when the sports press is fueled by hyperbolic predictions—today seemingly every new player is prophesized as the Next Greatest Thing—no one was saying that Tom Brady would become one of the best quarterbacks ever to play the game.
And yet...
Today no one doubts that the 30 year old is among the best. Ever since he got his first start in 2001, his style of play has never been flashy, but consistent and efficient, almost freakishly so. Off the field he has carried himself with the stoic grace reminiscent of old-school athletes—granted one that has the tabloids in a frenzy over news of ex-girlfriend Moynahan carrying his child and his relationship with Gisele. But true to form, when speaking about his life, he remained a gentleman's gentleman.
Last season ended for you when you lost to the Indianapolis Colts, your longtime rival. What's your process for dealing with the reality that your season is actually over?
TOM BRADY I'll tell you, it's extremely difficult. We've been spoiled over the years—often I haven't had to think about the off-season until after the Super Bowl. So something like last year? We're ahead with a minute and a half left in the game and then suddenly we're losing and it's over. In less than a minute we go from preparing for the Super Bowl to figuring out what we're gonna do tomorrow. We meet as a team, we figure out what went wrong, but really the only thing that makes it better is time.
Do you even watch the Super Bowl?
TB No. Not a minute.
You're kidding me.
TB Honestly, I could really care less. I was in New York. I went to the movies. If I you watch it in my position, all you think is, that should've been us. I mean I have certain friends who are players on other teams, so I'm happy for them. I know how great the feeling is, and it's good for people who you know really appreciate it—people like Peyton Manning [Colt's quarterback] who I'm friendly with.
I didn't realize you were friends. I always thought there was some kind of rivalry. You're the guy who clawed his way up, and he's the golden boy who's been groomed and coddled since birth...
TB No, no. There's a rivalry but we're friendly. Thing about it is, Peyton knows what I'm going through on a daily basis.
So you guys go out and grab a beer and shoot the shit?
TB Yeah, that happens. Not often. But it happens. We see each other a few times a year. We end up hanging out in New York and Boston quite a bit.
What was your greatest extravagance during this off season?
TB I'm not much of an extravagant person. I'm not really a big spender. I like to travel, and this year I spent two and half weeks in Europe. Two of my best friends came. We went to Greece and Rome, and that was a just a ball.
Do you pay for them?
TB Oh yeah. I always say, if I ever come back in another life I want to come back as one of my friends. They don't pay for shit. Dinners. Trips. You name it. I watch Entourage, and like that show I got a name for all these guys.
Ha. So what would you consider your greatest vice?
TB Oh shit...[laughs]
I can hear you editing out the real ones.
TB No, I mean, I'm thinking. I don't drink a lot. I don't do drugs. I'll have a drink, but certainly no drugs. Probably massages. I love getting those. They don't last as long as they used to.
Earlier this year I spent a few weeks with Tiki Barber [the New York Giants running back] when he was preparing to retire even though he was playing better than ever. One thing he made clear is how tired he was of playing a kid's game as an adult. You're 30 this year—ever have any of those feelings?
TB Sure, to a degree. You play football for so long that it becomes a huge part of who you are. People don't want be defined by work, and yet it's kind of impossible when you do what I do. My dad always says, "Tom, football is what you do, not who you are." And I guess that's true, but honestly, it's something I really love to do. There is nothing I love to do more than get on the field with fifty-two teammates in front of 80,000 people. In other aspects of your life you try to duplicate that feeling, but it's impossible. I can travel, I can go on a roller coaster, I can sky dive—none of it can measure up to football.
I know that growing up in California, your football hero was Joe Montana. How about away from the game. Who would you consider a hero?
TB It sounds cheesy, but I have to say my dad. I had three older sisters growing up. I was surrounded by women, so it was important having a partner in crime. I remember we used to figure out ways to sneak out of the house and go to the ballpark—moments like that were really important to me.
When talking about you, people invariably mention your confidence—that you're cool under pressure, the ultimate playoff quarterback. But you didn't start in high school, you weren't a high draft pick, and at one point you hired a sports psychologist to deal with your frustration issues.
TB That was at Michigan, a great a guy named Greg Harden. He reached out to me. He reached out to a lot of guys, but most players were like, "I'm not gonna waste an hour hearing some guy tell me that the decisions we make carry consequences." But it was more that that for me. Decisions hold consequences. For some reason until that point I wasn't realizing my opportunities.
What were you like at 18, 19? Sullen and pissed off?
TB Not exactly. Early on in college career I didn't feel like I was really wanted at Michigan. There were very, very good players on that team, and I didn't always think I was one of them. I certainly didn't think I'd play in the NFL, at least not until about midway though my senior year, when it started to become a reality.
You've won three Super Bowls making you arguably the most accomplished quarterback playing today. Do you find that you still need to prove yourself?
TB I know what you're talking about. There's that saying, "A satisfied need no longer motivates." But I guess my needs haven't been met. I'm not comfortable with my life—I mean, don't get me wrong. I like it. But I know how quickly it can be taken away. My feeling is, I'm still competing just to play. I'm trying to earn a job every year.
The other day I noticed you made the front page of the Boston tabloids for walking down the street wearing a Yankees's cap—the ultimate sin in Boston, apparently. Has it been hard to live under that kind of scrutiny?
TB It's just part of being a player—today more so than ever. I get it. People are competing for stories, so things get blown up. It's exciting to play, but along with that comes a lot of things you wish you didn't have to deal with, things more difficult than throwing a pass to your tight end. So I'm aware of it, but I try not to let it effect me too much.
Do you wake up and put on a Yankee's cap and think, "Shit, the paper's are gonna have a field day with this one?"
TB I don't think that way. I've been wearing a baseball cap for years. I love sports, I love baseball. I guess you can't root for both teams, but what can I say? I like them both. Besides, my true affiliation is for the San Francisco Giants.
You've become a media favorite since you started dating Gisele. I'm curious how two people from such different worlds meet?
TB Well, I...[pauses, laughs] How do we meet? I'm gonna have to go no comment on that one. I hate to be boring for you, but I've gotta go no comment on that one. It's just easier for me, you know?
Now people are going to think you're secretive and mysterious.
TB Believe me, I'm not either of those things. But I'll just look like an asshole if I start going on about that.
Fair enough. I'll take that to mean you're dying to talk to me about becoming a father?
TB I'm going to laugh awkwardly until you ask the next question. I'm excited, but it's just too personal.
You're going to turn 30 just before the start of the 2007 season. A lot of men drift into some kind of existential funk at 30. Are you worried?
TB Not at all, man. I still feel like I'm young—like I'm 20. I try to stay in pretty good shape. Young at mind, young at heart, that whole thing. Honestly, if it were up to me, I'd start the season right now.
But you must be more cognizant that the end is coming? The majority of players retire in the early and mid thirties.
TB Yeah, it's true.
So life after football—any idea what it looks like?
TB I used to say politics, but now it seems too ugly. I was always the guy running for student counsel, always someone wanting to stand up for things I didn't think was right. But I tell you, politicians are scrutinized more than anyone. I was watching 60 Minutes the other day with Mitt Romney. The interviewer was holding him accountable for a decision he made, like, 10 years ago. I couldn't deal with that.
What politicians have you admired? '
TB I think there have been some great presidents since I've been alive.
Come on. That's the most political answer in the book. What would you like to see happen in the next election?
TB I think everyone wants a change. I think it would be great if the Democratic Party could put together a unified campaign. They haven't been able to do that in the past. Hopefully this year will be different.

There are many ways to determine the best and worst movies of the year. You can look at movie reviews — Rotten Tomatoes has Kirby Dick's The Invisible War at the top of the list with a rating of 100% and the Eddie Murphy vehicle A Thousand Words at the bottom with a rating of 0% — or you can tabulate box office receipts — The Avengers is the clear leader with global sales in excess of $1.46 million, while Playback starring Christian Slater earned just $264 (that's no typo!). But, we at Reelz know that the opinions of the moviegoing public — your opinions — matter just as much as those of the critics and bean-counters, which is why we took to the streets to ask which movies were the best and the worst of the year (so far).
We want to hear from you, too. Sound off in the Comments section below and make your voice heard!

Mother's Day is just around the corner. If still haven't arranged for anything for your mom this year, you should also seriously consider an upgraded shipping option no matter where you end up making your purchase. Time is getting short.
I have a few ideas that I wanted to share with you for Mother's Day or any day of the year.
We are a sleepwear company, so we will start with sleepwear:
She will love any sleepwear by Laura Ashley. Moms will love these classic patterns. If your mom is my age (an extremely youthful mid-forties type), she will remember the beautiful Laura Ashley dresses of our youths. Now similar classic, floral patterns are brought to life on nightgowns and pajamas. They are beautiful and comfortable. She will love reading books in bed on weekend mornings in these delightful pjs.
She will love any sleepwear by Lazy One. If your mom has a great sense of humor and whimsical, animal prints are more of her thing, Lazy One is for her. They offer a huge selection of two-piece pajama sets and nightshirts in 100% cotton knit, which is super comfy. Favorites include the Out Cold penguin print, Bear Hug polar bear print. There are tons of prints to choose from.
She will love any thong-style slippers. These slippers are just perfect for this time of year. You can wear something comfortable around the house without having your feet be too hot. We have thong-style slippers from both Lazy One and Aerosole brands. What is the difference? Lazy One slippers feature fun animal prints and have moppy-style fabric on the uppers. The padding is very generous in these slippers, so they feel very cozy under your feet. Aerosole brand slippers are a bit more traditional. The fabric is more of a terry-style polyester. Available patterns include solids and animal prints. Both brands are great. They are just different. Just try to choose what your mom would like best.
Here are a few non-sleepwear ideas. They will work well either in conjunction with a pair of pajamas or on their own.
A gift certificate to her local independent bookstore is a fun idea. I know. I know. Everyone has electronic way to read books these day. I have an iPad and I do really like it. It is great to be able to go online and buy a book and start reading it right then and there. But, there is nothing like a real life bookstore. I love to look at books. I love to pick them up and read the dust jackets (or the back covers). It just seems to me that books should be a tactile thing that you experience, not just something on a screen. (I could argue this point with my teenage son for hours.) Plus, there is nothing like lounging in the bathtub with a good book. I would not take my iPad in the tub. That seems like a recipe for disaster.
My husband and I spend hours every weekend browsing through our local bookstores. We love the books and we love the coffee. Here in Flagstaff we have an amazing used bookstore named Bookmans. The Murphys spend a lot of time at Bookmans. It is like a treasure hunt. You never know what new inventory they are going to get in as it varies all the time. Plus, they make the best cappuccino in town and in comes in a real (not paper) cup.
My mom happens to have a great independent bookstore not too far from where she lives. Part of her gift this year will be a gift certificate to this shop. I will not even attempt to purchase books for her. She has a lot of opinions when it comes to things like books and I am sure to blunder if I try to choose for her on my own. It is better to leave her in control.
Once your mom has some great new books she can curl up in her pjs and read them undisturbed for hours. This would be the greatest gift you could give her " peace and tranquility.
A peaceful trip to your local coffee shop is always appreciated. What do I mean by this? I mean that if my family were to take me to a local coffee shop for Mother's day, I would want my children to leave their electronic devices at home. (I know that this is a lot to ask and is quite unreasonable, but Mother's Day is my day.) I would want my children to not fight with each other and to answer questions in complete sentences. I would want my children to tell me all about the end of the school year and their upcoming comprehensive exams (their school's versions of finals). I would want to hear about what they want to do for the summer. I would want just some uninterrupted family time.
Our family likes coffee shops. My husband and I love coffee. My daughter likes to order giant hot chocolates with heaping piles of whipped cream. My son is grumpy as we insist that he is too young for coffee and make him get something else. We recently discovered a jewel in our local area " the cafe Bohemian at Macy's (the local coffee shop, not the big department store). It is a cafe latte with powdered chocolate and cinnamon sprinkled on top. Yum. You wouldn't think that adding a dash of flavor to the top of a cup of coffee would make that much of a difference, but it does. I am not a fan of those super sweet syrups. This is a whole different thing.
Your mom may not be coffee fan. Maybe she likes ice cream, or smoothies, or something else. It doesn't really matter. You don't even need to go anywhere. You can just sit around your own kitchen table. The point is to have some uninterrupted family time. That is what moms really want. Trust me on this one.
A clean house is bliss. What mom doesn't want a clean house? This is like a dream come true. If your mom is older, it might be harder for her to clean than it used to be. If this is for your wife and she is either a working mom and spends her days shuttling kids from activity to activity, the idea of a clean house may seem like heaven.
There are a few ways to approach this. The first way is to call a cleaning service. This is certainly easier, but much more expensive. If your mom lives far away, it might be your only option. If mom lives close by you have more options. If you truly don't have time to do it yourself, you can call a cleaning service. In my experience, you can always get a national chain to come out on a one-time basis, but it is going to cost you a bundle. If you can find a local company based on the recommendation of a friend that may be the way to go. I would always check references and only let a bonded company into my home.
The other option is the old fashioned do it yourself option. Do you have tweens or teenagers? Remind them that this is mom's day and it is time for them to pitch in.
Hopefully, this will give you some ideas for your mom. Or, you could put them all together for the ultimate mom package. 1. Take mom to a bookstore and let her pick out something new to read. 2. Next, bring her to her favorite coffee, ice cream, smoothie shop where she can enjoy an hour or so of uninterrupted family time with her favorite people on the planet. 3. Take her home to the house that you have somehow managed to clean while she was out. That make take some creative thinking to arrange the timing. 4. Let her spend the rest of the day lounging around in peace and quiet reading her new book in the new pair of pajamas you had waiting for her at home. Trust me. This is mom heaven.

"Coming here tonight, I see so many great friends in the house who are here with us tonight…Without you there would be no us," Pete Rhodes, the founder of the BMA Network, said at its first BMA Channel celebration held at the Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant on Friday, December 21. This three-hour event, which Rhodes hosted, was free and open to the public. A first-of-its-kind event, it also served as the 25th anniversary of the BMA Network. Sponsors of the event included IPR, Comcast, and the Minnesota State Lottery. Technically speaking, BMA has been around for 28 years, but as far as formal annual celebrations go, the number 25 works.

For many years, scientists questioned whether life could survive in the deepest oceans, or far beneath the surface of the earth. But groundbreaking research over the past decade has put an end to those questions. And now, a scientist - and the lab he works at in Maine - will be playing a key role in sequencing the DNA of microbes that have lived in the deep subsurface of the the earth for millions of years. Jay Field reports.
The more than 300 micro-organisms come from deep ocean drilling sites and gold mines in South Africa. Mapping their genomes will begin in East Boothbay, at the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, where Ramunas Stepanauskas is a senior researcher.
Stepanauskas and some colleagues have invented technology that allows them to separate out individual cells, without having to cultivate them. "And then, after that amplification, we are able to apply DNA sequencing," he says.
Stepanauskas says the genetic mapping has the potential to yield significant new information about the evolutionary nature of life on earth and the geologic processes that created the world we live in.
"So we have this natural experiment where we can look at how these microbes evolved in total isolation for a very long period of time. Which gets into very practical things like how do pathogens - how do they evolve, how they may become more or less virulent, how antibiotic resistence is acquired," he says.
Scientists hope to learn how climate change might be affecting the biology of these microbes. Once Stepanauskas and his colleagues at Bigelow isolate the individual cells and their DNA, the lab will then ship the material out to California, where scientists will do the sequencing at the U.S. Department of Energy's Joint Genome Institute.
Jim Bristow is Deputy Director of Science Programs at the Institute. Bristow says the mapping could also answer a range of energy-related questions, which is a big reason for the federal government's participation.
"We, in some environments, are looking for microorganisms that turn uranium from soluable to insoluable forms, as a way of cleaning up contaminated sites," he says. "That's one particular realm. Another is looking at organisms with activities that might be of use for production of, say, biofuels."
And Bigelow's Stepanauskas says the ability of these microbes to survive in places once believed to be hostile to life may begin to tell us more about the possibilities of life on other planets.
