The Education Department is making plans to further improve the standard of education on the Island.
Education Department Plans for Next Three Years
The Education Department is making plans to further improve the standard of education on the Island.
Lilla Oliver, Chief Education Officer, explained that in addition to the day to day provision of an education service, the department is planning for the future. This is to be supported by the visit of three Education Advisors who arrived on 19th January.
David Levesque is the new Education Advisor from the Department for International Development (DFID) and he is overseeing the new education sector support programme which DFID is funding. DFID recently injected new monies into the Education Department, part of which is being used to get educational development support from the Centre for International Development and Training (CIDT) at the University of Wolverhampton. The relationship with CIDT started in 2003 and is continuing under a new three-year contract.
Patt Flett is the Programme Manager from CIDT, having replaced Lilla Oliver who managed the CIDT programme before taking on the role of Chief Education Officer.
The third member of the team is John Sullivan, Secondary Trainer/Advisor who specialises in secondary education.
In speaking about the visit, Lilla said we in the Education Department are looking forward to working with our team of advisors, because it will provide us with the opportunity to discuss our strategic direction with the Education Team and then gain professional advice from them on the proposed way forward. Educational practices are constantly changing and the visit will allow for feedback on how we can improve the quality of the service that we provide. At the same time, it gives us the opportunity to finalise our plans for the next three years with much valued input from the team. Its going to be a busy period but we look forward to the positive outcomes that will be derived from this visit.
While the team is on Island, they will meet senior managers within the Education Department and with the newly formed Education and Employment Committee. In addition, various members of the team are scheduled to visit the Adult Vocational Education Centre, Primary Schools, the Teacher Training Centre, the Public Library and Prince Andrew School where they will also attend a parents evening.
The visit will also provide opportunity for the team to meet with teachers, students and parents to get their views on the strengths, challenges, progress, concerns and priorities in relation to the education service.
The visit will focus on a number of other areas including a review of progress at Prince Andrew School. This follows a series of changes that were made in September 2009 in order to further improve the quality of teaching and learning so that standards of education could be raised even higher.
In particular, there will be discussion on making further use of distance learning. Through the internet, courses are currently being delivered in electronics and sociology and the intention is to offer more subjects so that students can have access to a wider curriculum. Consideration will also be given to how distance learning can aid the continuous professional development of teachers.
Scholarship provision will also be reviewed with David Levesque and discussion will concentrate on ways which will allow more students to obtain tertiary qualifications.
In the primary sector, discussion will focus on the progress that is being made following a restructure in 2007 which was introduced in response to the drastic decrease in the number of pupils entering the education system.
On lifelong learning, there will be discussion with David Levesque on plans to further develop the provision of an adult vocational education service to ensure that continuous skills development is achieved.
Following the visit, the three-year action plan will be finalised, setting out what the department will do from now until 2013 in order to continue improving the standard of education on the Island. This will support the departments strategic plan and the overall vision for St Helena.

Angelfish eggs
I went away for the weekend and when I returned I found some eggs. She laid them on the filter suction tube, so who knows how many went into the filter ( I turned the filter off ). Most of them were white, and there was only one angel tending to them. By morning they were all gone. The other two angels were going about there business on the other side of the tank. Also, I didn't see her hanging with anyone before I left last week. I am guessing she went solo on this. That would explain all the white eggs??
I was about to go by some juveniles for my 30g tank and try to pair them off. They have a bunch of dime-to-nickel sizers. Now I'm not sure what I want to do.

J. (age 12) has been trying out the Ron Paul Curriculum this semester. And while we are going to take a break from it, I have good things to say about it, too. It's totally self taught, so it's good for those with a lot of self discipline who are highly motivated. J. has had weekly essays that we read and correct, but yesterday was the first time I flipped through the rest of his completed work. It's a pretty impressive pile of work, and his binder is full to bursting.
However. The RPC curriculum cautions parents that if you find yourself needing to remind, nudge, and outright nag your student to complete his schoolwork, the course is probably not a good fit. And we have had to remind and nudge. In some ways J. has really liked setting his own pace, but there are things that definitely trigger some frustration and anxiety.
I think the heavy essay writing requirements are a little too challenging at this point. He seems to really struggle with expository writing. He wants to write what the instructor said, or exactly what he read, rather than formulating his own words. This has affected history and English both, and has helped me realize we need to implement more specific and detailed writing instruction.
Decisions, decisions
Finding said specific and detailed writing instruction is proving more difficult than I anticipated. And so I'm doing what we do these days. I'm asking the internet for advice. So far, I've checked out:
Brave Writer – I'm annoyed that I can't download actual sample PDFs of lessons. She has one in website format, but I'd like to see what the real pages look like. I also got a little lost on her website, though admittedly it's late and I'm tired. She writes a lot (like me) and it took me quite a while to figure out the different packages. I think, if I went this route, we'd do the Writer's Jungle Silver Binder package for $97, plus, I assume, shipping? Kind of a lot of pennies.
Writing With Skill – This one feels safe, because it's by Peace Hill Press. We used Writing with Ease so I imagine it will feel familiar, though none of my kids loved WWW, so there's that to consider. $20 and some change on Amazon. I probably also need the teacher's manual which is like $30 or something.
Excellence in Writing – I found this via IrishMum, and I love just about everything she does with her boys, so I was pretty much decided until I read this review. Holy overwhelming, batman (<-- stupid viglink is making that a link). I know she says repeatedly that it isn't as overwhelming as it seems, but I'm overwhelmed. Plus it's $109.00 though it's non consumable, so you can reuse it easily. Write Shop – That same reviewer switched to Write Shop (probably because she was overwhelmed, ha ha), and I'm still eyeballing this one. Not everything is contained in one book, so it's a little confusing, and I've read mixed reviews from others. $45.95, though I think I need more components?
Write Source – This is a public school textbook, and the teacher's manual (which I've read is necessary) is like a million dollars. I read a pretty convincing review, and felt good about this choice after looking at some samples, especially after finding used copies on Amazon for much less, but then some bad reviews threw me off again. Around $8.00 for the student textbook used on Amazon, $60 for the teacher's manual also used on Amazon. Otherwise, like $40 and $130 respectively, new.
Essentials in Writing – I like the price on this one. $40 for the main bit, and $25 for the additional bits. One reviewer said some disparaging things about the video instructor though, and now I think I've ruled this out.
Winning with Writing – This is made by the Growing with Grammar folks, and we really like GWG, so I thought this would be an easy choice. It's also nice and affordable and $25.99 plus shipping. Those darn reviews, though. People say the writing course is too repetitive and boring if you're already doing their grammar books, so this one has been eliminated.
Cover Story Writing – This one looks interesting, though they are sold out at the moment. Also, spendy at $149.00. It's by the same guy who does the high school One Year Adventure Novel writing course. Both look really fun, though I wonder if you get any paper writing and letter writing type instruction.
For grammar, J. has requested to return to Growing with Grammar, but I'm also eyeballing Jr. Analytical Grammar, and we also have a complete MCT Grammar package that E. has just never implemented much.
I'm going to go ice my headache. Any others I've missed and should be considering? Any experience with the above?

their consciousness their bums.
For Laura, "I often do centering in mountain pose at home, mostly because it feels like it's easier to get into the next pose without feeling like I'm scrambling and rushed (if it's a DVD)."
If you'd like to participate in Everyday Yoga, you're still welcome to submit photos of this pose, and I'll add them as I can. Alternatively or in addition, there's a current call for submissions for upward salute.

The Child Labour In Maharashtra State and India
Member Level:
: 30 (
Today also the children in Maharashtra state and India is working in various industries. Main reason behind this is the poverty of parents and lack of education to their children.
The Child Labour In Maharashtra State and India
The race for money has speeded up in India science the last decade. It is no wonder that the number of working children below the age of 14 has increased immensely. Estimates cite figures of between 60 to 115 million working children in India, the highest in the world. It is also estimated that about 90% of the child working population is in rural areas. Children are engage in various types of the work , including those that are classified as 'hazardous' i.e. harmful to the physical, emotional , or moral well-being of the children. An estimated 2 million children work in the hazardous industries.
The reasons for this are many and include parental poverty and illiteracy; social and economical circumstance; lack of awareness; lack of access to basic and meaningful quality education and skills; high rates of adult unemployment and underemployment and declining cultural values of the family and society.
The condition of working children in India is appalling. They are either sweating in the heat of stone quarries or working in the field sixteen hours a day. In cities they are picking rags, or hidden away as domestic servants. Their lives are quite miserable and difficult. They earn little and are abused much. They struggle to make enough to eat and perhaps to help feed their families as well. They do not go to school; more than that half of them will never measure up to even the minimum standards of literacy. Many of them have been working since the age of four or five ,and by the time they reach adulthood they may be irrevocably sick or deformed they will certainly be exhausted ,old men and women by the age of forty, likely to be dead by fifty.
Right from independent itself, India has committed itself against child labour. Article 24 of the Indian Constitution clearly states, " No child below the age of fourteen years shall be employed to work in any factory or mine or employed in any hazardous place to work". and directs State policy such " that the health and strength of workers … and the tender age of children are not abused and that citizens are not forced by economic necessity to enter avocation unsuited to their age or strength".(Constitution Of India Cited in Human Rights Watch 1996,26). These two articles show that India has always had the duty of taking care of its children and ensuring the safety of workers. In regard to child labour , the Indian government implemented the Child Labour Act in 1986.The purpose of this act is to " prohibit the employment of the children who have not completed their 14th year in the specified hazardous occupations and process".
The Government of India must ensure that the needs of the poor are met before attacking the problem of child labour. If poverty is addressed, the need of or the child labour will always automatically diminished. No matter how hard India tries, child labour will always exist until the need for it is removed. The development of India as a nation being hampered by child labour. Children are growing up illiterates because they have been working and not attending school. A vicious circle of poverty is formed and the need for child labour is reborn after every generation. India needs to address the situation by tackling the underlying causes of child labour through governmental policies and the enforcement of these policies. Only then will India succeed in the fight against the child labour.

Yes you are right but I think children acting in movies and serials, as announcers on television or shows is also a type of child labour. It should be banned. Children should be strictly send to schools.

Yes, Kishor you are right. We must think on what we can do and implement on it. There are many laws and regulations , they are useless except they are implemented. Very strict action should be taken on the person who employ child as labour.

Sabio (meaning "wise") is a member of an über-secret organizations rooted in the Middle Ages, whose mission is to eradicate demons no matter where they are or come from. Sabio can run and jump, wield swords and machine guns in, to put it gently, a game that can trace its influences right to Castlevania. Throughout fifty levels he will fight a wide array (and beautifully designed) of demons and final bosses, while learning new skills, powers and equipment. Gameplay can be quite chaotic when two or more enemies are on screen at the same time, but it's quite easy to learn the basics anyway.
Eventually, Pecador ("sinner"), your nemesis, will make an appearance and the story will unfold. We'd like to be able to choose different characters or customize Sabio, because this Lemegeton is a great arcade game and it would have been a hit back in the nineties, but feels too linear nowadays. However, if you're looking for a good action game and are fed up of endless runners and other non-sense games, here's Lemegeton.

2006 San Diego State Aztecs Basketball Preview
2006 San Diego State Aztecs Basketball Predictions
Last season, the San Diego State Aztecs (24- 9 overall and 13- 3 in the MWC) topped their league and made it to the Big Dance. Although they lost in the first round 87- 83 to Indiana, look for the Aztecs to go deeper into the tourney in 2006- 07.
Guard Brandon Heath (18.4 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 3.5 APG) can be the MWC Player of the Year for a second season in a row. Heath, one of the most versatile and dominant players in the nation, hit almost 100 three-pointers last season. Sophomore Richie Williams (6.6 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 3.8 APG), who led the conference in steals and assists during his first year, offers excellent skills.
The Aztecs lost forward Marcus Slaughter (16 PPG, 11.0 RPG) to the NBA draft—a draft in which he was not chosen. But there's still a lot of frontcourt talent available. Mohamed Abukar (14.3 PPG, 4.7 RPG, 1.0 APG) and Kyle Spain (9.2 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 1.0 APG) can both score. Spain is also a fine three-point man and rebounder. Transfer Jerome Habel, the number two junior college prospect in the country, looks like the guy to replace Slaughter.
Head coach Steve Fisher (105- 106 in 7 years) guided the Aztecs to their first regular season MWC title ever as the team tied their all-time record for wins—24. The team also won the conference tournament and earned a rare NCAA berth. Fisher, who will see four starters return, has his team focused on doing it all again and more—as they possess the stuff to take them deeper into the NCAA Tournament.
San Diego State returns a host of fine players and has recruited some talented guys. The team is also focused on winning and proving that they are better than their first-round elimination in last year's tournament. They came close to beating Indiana, except for some last minute mistakes. This team is smart enough to learn from their errors.

Bring them in-they will not survive in a cold greenhouse until April at the earliest-especially as they are just seedlings-they need warmth and good light
Tomatoes aren't so bad-when you prick out the seedlings you can bury the stems up to the first true leaves-you can do that with a lot of seedlins-not cucumbers definitely
But they need good all round light -that is the snag if you start too early
Tootles, have a look on here: http://www.tomatogrowing.co.uk/
Excellent advice from Nick.
try growing your tomatoes in acid peat this year instead of ordinary peat or garden soil. you will find that the true flavour of the toms. wil come out and you will be surprised how good they taste. oh bye the way dont be in such a hurry to start growing plants too early they al need daylight to grow strongly apart from the fact that you wil always get late frosts which can kill off tomatoes if sown too early.i have grown all kinds of plants for the last 20 years and from experience i have found that if you wait till march the plants will grow just as strong with less heat required.
denise bailey wrote (see)
Just wondering when to start my chilli seeds off thanks for info
They can take up to 3 weeks to germinate-so longer than tomatoes-would start in a couple of weeks or so
yes john innes with perlite is fine the acidic peat gives the sharper bite to the tomato plants and their true flavour. i have been growing toms. in acid peat for years and get brillant flavour every time.long lost tip worth tying.
I treated myself to a super-seven seed tray system - seven little seed trays, each with a clear cover, which sits on a capillary matting on a long window sill tray. This enables me to raise at least seven types of seed easily, and I can turn thetrtays round daily once the seeds come through. They don't go up to my unheated greenhouse until they get pricked out into larger trays or individual modules, and even tghen I continue to put a clear plastic lid on until they have hardened of a bit. I have had great success with almost everything I have planted in this way abnd the little trays are really easy to use . You just water into the window sill tray when the matting begins to dry out. For larger seed I add a layer of fine gravel on top which helps keep the soil moist withough makiong the seedlings damp off.
I shall be planting tonight and tomorrow for my early start. If I need to water, I use one of those little bottle-top sprinklers.
Good luck evberybody.
flowerbird=. try sowing sweet pea in october in your loo rolls and leave them till now in a light spot but out of direct sunlight. when they get to the three leaf stage nip them back to one leaf and ou get a much stronger plant and also more stems and more flowers later on in the year.go on and give it a try there is no such thing as failure just lost seedlings.bye the way when u decide to grow seedlings plant just what u need with a few extra in tay modules.that way you wont have to throw surplus out.when u are growing seedlings always water the trays or containers from the root up less losses and little damping off.bye the way has anybody noticed how the big organisations who produce new varities of bizzi lizzies have now left us with a hugh problem with them literally dying off when in full flower. This has only come about in the last two years, so be warned the beautyful bizzi lizzi is on the way out through to much messing with their jenes.

1997 Suzuki Sidekick JLX Sport 1.8L from North America
Very good vehicle for the money
Broken clutch pedal - repaired under warranty.
General Comments:
Acceleration could be better.
A/C bogs it down, but that is to be expected with the relatively small engine.
Highway noise a little loud.
Only one major problem since I bought it and that was fixed under warranty.
Very reliable vehicle.

1960 NEW YORK AIR DEFENSE SECTOR Yearbook USAF IBM
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Books, Paper & Magazines
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Mar 15, 2011
- Channel: Auction House
This auction is for the 1960 "yearbook" of the "New York Air Defense Sector" of the United States Air Force. The mission of NYADS was to protect over 25 million Americans (in a region that included seven states) from hostile air attack. Basically, to detect and destroy any Soviet air attack of the Wilmington, Delaware to New York City area corridor. The territory ranged from the southern tip of New Jersey and Wilmington, Delaware on the south to Pennsylvania and southeastern New York state on the west to Nantucket, Massachusetts on the north.NYADS included radar sites, fighter and fighter-interceptor groups, missile units and of course, administrative and support groups. NYADS was largely responsible for one of the foundational projects of the computer era: the development of the SAGE, the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment air defense system. SAGE was devised to collect and coordinate all available information on the local air situation and dissemination of battle instructions to defending forces at electronic speeds. Aside from the strategic importance, SAGE set the foundation for mass data-processing systems and foreshadowed many computer developments of the 1960s. The heart of the system, the IBM built AN/FSQ-7, was the first computer to have an internal memory composed of magnetic cores. SAGE also introduced computer-driven displays, online terminals, time sharing, high-reliability computation, digital signal processing, digital transmission over telephone lines, digital simulation, computer networking, and duplex computing.
NYADS included units stationed at Suffolk County, NY, McGuire AFB, NJ, Dover AFB, DE, Andrews AFB, DC, Camp Hero (near Montauk),NY, Gibbsboro AFS, NJ, Highlands AFS, NJ, Montauk AFS, NY, Palermo AFS, NJ.
This book includes individual portraits, base photos, "Activities" photos, "Recreation" photos, etc. of the members of the 46th Air Defense Missile Squadron, the 6th Air Defense Missile Squadron, the 52nd Fighter Group, the 539th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron, the 646th Radar Squadron, the 770th Radar Squadron, the 773d Radar Squadron, the NYADS Headquarters and Staff groups. The individual photos seem to include everybody including maintenance, Dispensary staff, Weather staff, the Civilian staff and even IBM Staff and Field Engineers.
This book is in really great condition for its age. The binding and pages are tight. The cover has minimal shelf and corner wear. The graphics are clean and bright. I've flipped through the inside and didn't see any marks, dirt, stains or tears. The only thing I could find was one page that had been dog-earred and I unbent that.
Shipping for this item will be boxed Media Rate Mail within the USA. International shipping via Priority Mail.
TERMS (PLEASE READ): Payment: All you should have to do at the end of an auction is There is no need to ask for an invoice or wait for one. I will send an invoice if you want one but my first priority will be to mail the items I have been paid for. Since Ebay wants to line their own pockets under the guise of "security", I am no longer allowed to say I accept forms ofShipping: Unlike some other sellers, I'm not out to make money on the shipping.

Most items are also insured in case of loss/damage. On heavier or oversize items, I may ship via FEDEX GROUND to try to save you money and/or delivery time.

A suspect in two recent armed robberies and a burglary was taken into custody Friday morning by La Grande Police.
Det. Phil Myer said that Gary J. Smith, 41, of La Grande was arrested in connection to an early morning robbery at the Gem Stop, 2708 Island Avenue.
He was also arrested for allegedly committing a robbery a day earlier at the By-Rite Exxon, 2112 Island Avenue.
Further investigation of Smith by the police also resulted Friday in an additional charge of first-degree robbery related to the armed robbery Dec. 28 at La Grandes Bank of America branch.
In that incident, a masked and believed armed man entered the bank and fled with several thousand dollars in cash.
Police, sheriffs deputies and FBI agents tried to use a video tape taken during the late afternoon bank robbery to identify the suspect, but
after weeks were without any leads.
Police were unavailable for further comment late Friday.

Scranton, PA----There's bad news for Mosley alum Cody Johnson. He's no longer a member of the Yankees organization, cut over the weekend by New York's Triple-A team Scranton-Wilkes Barre.
Cody was hitting just 167 in 54 at bats so far this season, with this his only homer, and 4 rbi.
This was his second season with the Yankees organization who paid the Braves nearly a million bucks in November of 2010 to acquire Johnson.
Cody a first round pick by the Braves in oh-6, showed serious flashes of power, but could not keep the average up, and simply struck out too many times for the Braves liking. The Yankees were hoping Cody's left handed power swing would be a perfect suit for that short porch in Yankee Stadium, but it appears he'll never make it there, at least not in pinstripes.

Maria Andreu's Haven – The First Female Light Keeper in Florida
Old St. Augustine Lighthouse, the sentinel of the Ancient City, was first completed in 1824. On April 3, 1824, Minorcan John Andreu, a harbor pilot, lit the lamps! Finally illuminating the St Augustine harbor, the old Spanish watchtower along with its historic fort became the first official lighthouse in Florida.
As Lighthouse Keepers continued their duties with no incident for 35 years, by late 1859 a tragedy occurred. Keeper Joseph J. Andreu was pulling himself up along the tower on a scaffold to begin the task of whitewashing the Lighthouse and the scaffolding gave way.
Andreu plummeted to his death and the government appointed Andreu's wife Maria Mestra de los Dolores-Andreu to the new Keepers position. She served as the first woman Keeper of the Light Station at St Augustine until 1862. Her salary was a handsome sum: $400 annually.
With the Civil War in 1861, came the federally ordered dismantling of the St. Augustine Light. Erosion became its enemy and by 1871, it was decreed that a new lighthouse would be constructed about 600 yards away from the old beacon, on firmer soil. The second lighthouse at St Augustine was completed in 1874 and became a popular tourist destination. Again erosion took its toll on the Old St Augustine Lighthouse and it toppled into the sea during a storm in 1880.
Today, the 165 foot St. Augustine Lighthouse is dedicated to discovering, preserving, presenting and keeping alive the story of our nation's oldest port. Our lighthouse is St Augustine's oldest surviving brick structure. A brick light keeper's house was added in 1876 then destroyed by fire in 1970 along with the Tower. As recently as 1993, the 219 step tower was officially opened to visitors.
We dedicate this safe 'haven' to Maria Andreu's courage!

6 Ways to Wow Prospects Before You Meet Them
by Bill Cates
When we work with advisors we spend ample time teaching them what it takes to become referable early in the relationship and then stay referable throughout the relationship.
In your first meeting with new prospects, one of the things you want to accomplish is helping them feel at ease with you and your process. Everything you do should work toward reducing their stress level and building trust. Its also important to wow your prospects in that first meeting. When you make clients go, wow, you increase your chances of earning their business and earning referrals quickly in the relationship.
But what about before you even meet? You have a choice: you can wing it when it comes to this process or you can have a simple system. Using a checklist will ensure it happens more often than not.
Here are 6 very simple things you can do even before the first meeting to reduce stress and wow prospective clients.
Images: Thinkstock
Send prospective clients a welcoming, hand-written note. The tone should be cordial, but not formal or stilted. Let them know that you are looking forward to the meeting.
Send prospective clients a pre-meeting information kit. Give them directions, parking information, a map and a checklist of what they need to bring to the meeting. If you like, you can include your brochure and bio as well.
You or one of your assistants should call prospects one or two days before the meeting to confirm the meeting, make sure theyve found their documents and clarify directions. (If you are going to their home or place of business, you should still confirm directions.)
If you have an assistant, it is better to have them make this call. This is the beginning of getting their relationship off to a great start, too.
Make new clients feel welcome. Make sure your receptionist knows whos about to arrive so he or she can greet them by name. For instance: You must be Mr. and Mrs. Smith, here to see Martha Jones.
I know one advisor who reserves the best parking space in the lot for his clients with a small sign with their name on it. He changes it for every appointment. You could also get a sign with changeable letters to welcome each new prospect.
Serve potential clients a beverage of their choice. Have a good selection. Offer cookies or other appropriate snack. I know many offices that have purchased a small cookie baking machine -- the office always smells like fresh baked cookies.
Have your assistant meet your clients first by bringing them a beverage or walking them to your conference room. While you dont want to be late for your appointment, theres value in having your assistant spend a little time with your clients first.

My buddies on Team4HIVHope are rockin' the road as they race across America on their bikes!
Spare a thought for them as they battle saddle sores, the elements served up by Mother Nature, and the lack of sleep inherent in racing non-stop across the continent.
They are currently at about the halfway mark and no doubt their bodies -- and minds -- are starting to feel the effort of the previous days. Exhaustion and pain must be abundant.
But only outweighed by their passion to get to the finish line -- to experience the joy and relief of accomplishing a huge goal that most people, regardless of HIV status, would never even consider attempting.
I'm truly astounded -- and deeply inspired -- by these guys, and continue to send them good vibes as they show the world that HIV+ people can attain extraordinary achievements.
Go Boys Go!

Spring cleaning can have a much bigger meaning to it than just feeling good about getting the house nice and fresh and orderly for the season. Those items that have been sitting around and no one has used, since you don't know when, can actually allow an individual to be able to stay in their own home for the final days of their life. Give those items that no one uses any more, or no one sees, some real meaning. If it feels like possessions are weighing you down, put them to use, good use.
The Hinds Hospice thrift store at 721 S. Gateway Drive would love to be able to take those items and turn them into care for a terminally ill individual. With your help, our store has been doing this since 1997. We look forward to continuing for as long as everyone is willing to help. So keep it up. Thank you.

Didn't like vote by Rep. Denham
I am appalled that my representative, Jeff Denham, voted for big oil.
Shame on him!
I maintain my home property as a wildlife refuge and enjoy the benefits of such a place. The birds, mammals, reptiles and insects that populate my small acreage give my family and my visitors much pleasure with their antics and beauty. I only wish that he would realize what he has done.
I will never vote for him, ever, or anyone who maintains such a stance against our endangered wild places.
Mary Joyce,
Likes thoughts about Romney
I appreciate the thoughts about Mitt Romney on the Opinion page March 9.
My emotions take over when I see what the media are doing to him, therefore better you than me defend him.
No matter how many times he wins, someone finds "excuses" for him doing so.
I remember reading a book about Lee Iacocca, who saved Chrysler many years ago. At the time, that action was lauded for Iacocca's brilliance when he managed to get employees to take a lesser wage, and whatever else he did to keep the company running. Does not that apply to Mr. Romney and his expertise in helping failing companies survive?
As I understand it, Mitt Romney gave away his inheritance, and whatever his gain now is because he worked very hard in building a life of success.
Audrey E. Pool,
Suggestions for directing prayers
May we pray on behalf of our nation's president, leaders, judges, military, and allies?
May we pray that God protects our nation, allies, and military people from harm?
May we pray for national repentance from abortion, homosexuality, addictions, and corruption?
May we pray that God causes America to turn to Him so the sins of our nation may be forgiven?
Nevertheless, mercy or judgment be done, according to His purpose and timing.
May we pray that we be spiritually, mentally, and emotionally prepared for whatever will be?

Should I try to alleviate braxton hicks contractions or should I try to just bare through them?
This sounds like a dumb question and that's why I'm asking on here and not my doctor. I was just wondering should go ahead and bare through the uneasiness so that "nature can do it's job" or should I try to alleviate them and chance making the muscles and such relax so it doesn't do what it needs to, to get ready for real labor? Or I guess what I'm asking is will that happen if I do try to alleviate them? Maybe I just have too much time on my hands and I'm just over thinking things but I just thought I'd ask.

Walking can also help get rid of braxton hicks. If you're really in labor though walking will make it worse.posted 06/12/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Usually Braxton Hicks go away with changing position or drinking water. If you are really uncomfortable it might be the baby stretching, and there is nothing you can do about that (though I HAVE pushed that little foot away from my ribs when it got too painful).posted 06/11/2013 by keilahrose

Abu Dhabi changes property rules
A new expat property ownership law in the capital says expats can own property… but only in investment zones. Kipp takes a closer look.
December 9, 2010 4:10 by Eva Fernandes
What's new in the capital? Quite a mouthful, apparently: "usufruct" is the new keyword for anyone concerned with Abu Dhabi real estate. Kipp will explain all shortly.
On Wednesday, General Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, issued Resolution No. 64 of 2010 in an attempt to ease the process of property registration and real estate ownership.
According to everyone's favourite national news agency, WAM, the resolution sets up guidelines to help facilitate acquiring loans to finance real estate investments, and eases the process of transferring ownership of property.
Many welcome the move as the introduction of the resolution is likely to increase investments in the real estate sector of Abu Dhabi. Wael Tawil, chief executive of Baniyas Investment and Development Company (BID), told Gulf News, "It gives the purchase contract legitimacy and will help the buyers [get] access to finance and mortgage finance which is crucial to end-users. I'd love to see more openness in property regulations. I hope Abu Dhabi Finance will expand financing expatriate buyers."
The resolution also clarified the rather contentious question of nationality and ownership in the UAE. As previously known, real estate property ownership in general is limited to Emiratis alone. However, in the case of investment zones, Non-Emiratis or corporate bodies wholly owned by non-Emiratis will now be able to own, buy, sell, rent, and mortgage property. These owners will have to register with the ADEC registrar. Non-Emiratis can then hold "usufruct" for 50 years and usufruct contract for 99 years. Uh huh, there's that word again. In case you're a little lost, according to the online princeton dictionary, usufruct means "a legal right to use and derive profit from property belonging to someone else provided that the property itself is not injured in any way."
What does that mean? Well it means they don't really own it, but they may as well do since the contract lasts a lifetime. They can make their money, but the property never really ceases to belong to an Emirati. Still, it's a step in the right direction, since all anyone wants to do nowadays is make money with their property, apparently.
Talking of Abu Dhabi property, leading real estate company Aldar has been in the news this week after shares in the property developer rose 7 percent as speculations of possible government support mounted. Last month, Aldar's Dh10 billion debts shocked many, who saw the financial setbacks of the semi-government owned institute as an ominous sign. But with the rumored promise of government backing on the cards and the new expat-friendly resolution set in place, it looks like Abu Dhabi real estate could be on the up again soon enough.

1- still not clear as to what would be the legal status of expatriates ( dependant family members)once they acquire property in Abu Dhabi ?
2- would such investors be allowed take up employment in AD ?
3- Would such expatriate investors enjoy health & other benefits like Emiratis ?
4- Is there any Income-Tax on profits generated on such investments
Awaiting your reply-thanks.

Another week, another helping of juicy rumors from the video game world! When will they end? No one really knows.
This week we cover lots of ground, both handheld and home console – even Apple sneaks in for once. Get your grains of salt handy as we dive into the video game rumor mill for another week.
The Rumor: Apple will release a television with built in Apple TV download service that will "blow Netflix and all the others away". Apple will be teaming up with Samsung and other manufactures to implement the service.
Where it Came From: This one came courtesy of website "DailyTech" who claim to have spoken to a "former Apple executive". And, you guessed it – no names were shared. This is potentially significant to video games since Apple's new iOS 5 will support games streamed from the iPad to your TV via Apple TV.
Fact or Fiction? Apple make absolutely fantastic displays, but will they bother moving into the TV market? We don't think so for one main reason – it's unlikely Apple would rely on Samsung or anyone else for that matter to pump out displays.
The Rumor: Grand Theft Auto V is almost complete, with only finishing touches being added to the game at this point. The game will be released in 2012.
Where it Came From: Unnamed sources are all the rage this year – as you would know if you regularly read the Rumor Mill every week – and this convention is sticking. This one comes from Gamespot who apparently spoke to "sources close to Take-Two". Close as in "janitor"? We're not sure.
Fact or Fiction? There has been talk about GTA V for quite a while now, spurred on by a casting call for a game by Take-Two codenamed "Rush". At least, we hope that's for GTA – a game based on the crappy Australian "police drama" (which one…) would be extremely disappointing. But we're getting off track – is this rumor true?
Probably. And it will probably come out on Wii U, which may explain any delay we're seeing. Time will tell.
The Rumor: Max Payne 3 has been given a December 1 release date.
Where it Came From: Website RockStarWatch pointed out the change of release date on Amazon.
Fact or Fiction? Did Rockstar get the memo that E3 was on this year? Look, it's not unusual for retailers to put in a "placeholder" date based on an assumption – and we do know that Max Payne 3 is indeed on it's way.
It's just that there has been very little info on the title, except for a "2012-2013" release date and a handfull of early screenshots. It seems extremely odd that this game would just "pop up" on retail shelves with no marketing at all.
The Rumor: Square Enix's hugely anticipated Nintendo exclusive RPG, Dragon Quest X will be released on Nintendo's new console, Wii U.
Where it Came From: Square Enix held an investor's Q&A in Japan and were asked why the company were still working on releasing a high profile game for Nintendo's ageing Wii console. The answer was that they are working on a way to make the game somehow compatible with Wii U's features.
Fact or Fiction? I think we can say this is fact with confidence. Though, will the game be graphically overhauled? Or will it merely have a couple of Wii U exclusive features?
The Rumor: The new PlayStation Vita handheld console from Sony will launch in January 2012, despite the company aiming for a November launch as stated at E3.
Where it Came From: This one has come from Amazon and from various sources. Since retailers are quite to earn some money on products that haven't been released, the company originally listed the console's release date as "November 4", but changed it earlier this week to "December 31st", meaning people who pre-order the console will be actually receiving the hardware in the first week of January.
Fact or Fiction? Since when was Amazon the God of Release Dates? Sony have only said they're aiming for a "holiday" release – so yes, it could be true but I would think that if Sony wanted the console to come out around the holiday season, they are surely smart enough to release it BEFORE Christmas.
But maybe that's just my bizarre logic.
That's it for the Rumor Mill this week! Be sure to check out the Mill next week for more rumors that are sure to follow. You can check out previous rumors by heading here.

NEW YORK (AP) — Veteran ABC newswoman Barbara Walters has fallen at an inauguration party at an ambassador's home in Washington and has been hospitalized.
Walters, 83, fell Saturday night on a step at the residence of Britain's ambassador to the United States, Peter Westmacott, ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said. The fall left Walters with a cut on her forehead, he said.
Walters, out of an abundance of caution, went to a hospital for treatment of the cut and for a full examination, Schneider said on Sunday. She was alert and was "telling everyone what to do, which we all take as a very positive sign," he said.
It was unclear when Walters might be released from the hospital, which ABC didn't identify.
Walters was TV news' first female superstar, making headlines in 1976 as a network anchor with an unprecedented $1 million annual salary. During more than three decades at ABC, and before that at NBC, her exclusive interviews with rulers, royalty and entertainers have brought her celebrity status. In 1997, she created "The View," a live weekday talk show that became an unexpected hit.

i got the touchpad working by using this driver. i made an rpm and a src rpm for fc2 if you want to download it. you'll also need to muck with your xorg.conf file... the changes that i made are pretty much like this:
Section "ServerLayout" ... InputDevice "Touchpad" "SendCoreEvents" ... EndSection ... Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" Option "MaxTapTime" "100" EndSection
the wireless card was easy to get working, but wasn't already there instantly. what i did for that was use ndiswrapper around the winxp driver that came on the driver cd that i got with the laptop, and it worked.
now, before i got the internal wireless working in fc2, i tried using my dlink dwl-650 (rev a), and it was less than happy... there was some issue with that specific rev of the dlink card and the acpi drivers in fc2. the dlink card worked in win2k, in the hardware, but not fc2.
i upgraded this machine to fedora core 3 yesterday, and ran into a few problems:
i tried two operating systems and two different usb 2 cardbus cards, and they both do the same thing:
UPDATE (13 oct 2004): this is not just a problem with the first generation of this laptop. i've had the SAME problem with a generation 2 ze4805. it works in linux, but NOT in windows.
if anyone has any questions about getting certain things in linux working on this hardware, feel free to contact me at slacker at lnx cwby dot com.

Single and pregnant
I'm 22 yrs old, 33 weeks pregnant. I've went through this whole pregnancy alone, only support is from family. I dont have a car, house, or a stable income. I'm back to living with my mother. A year ago I met this guy. Weren't really going out but one night I was dealing with a family emergancy and he texted me asking me to come on over. I said no and that family was more important. then he said "we should start a family together" i refused at first of course. but seven months later without seeing each other. he asked me again. I dont what i was thinking but I actually gave into that time. he said "i'll be there" and me being so naive I believed him. after we actually concieved, i told him. He said that he don't even want to the baby to have his name or anything stating he's the father. We talk every now and then. but he won't give his number at all so i cant call him. but he calls me and we message on facebook. Than he had the nerve to ask me to give him more kids.

E . A : E . KALAIVANAN 2006 1245 MECHANICAL - AB F . E . A Slide 2: Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a numerical method which provides solutions to problems that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computer simulation technique used in engineering analysis. . FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS Slide 3: FEA consists of a computer model of a material or design that is stressed and analyzed for specific results. It is used in new product design, and existing product refinement Slide 4: It uses a numerical technique called the finite element method (FEM). This F.E.M. is based on the principle of discretization and numerical approximations to solve scientific and engineering problems. Slide 5: HOW F.E.A. WORKS ? FEA uses a complex system of points called nodes which make a grid called a mesh . This mesh is programmed to contain the material and structural properties which define how the structure will react to certain loading conditions. Slide 6: VAN SHOWING NODES AND MESH Slide 7: Point, pressure, thermal, gravity, and centrifugal static loads. Thermal loads from solution of heat transfer analysis. Enforced displacements. Heat flux and convection. Point, pressure and gravity dynamic loads. VARIOUS LOADING CONDITIONS Slide 8: A car deforms in an asymmetrical crash using finite element analysis. Slide 9: THREE PHASES IN F.E.A Pre-processing Analysis solver Post-processing Slide 10: TYPES OF ENGINEERING ANALYSIS STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS VIBRATIONAL ANALYSIS FATIGUE ANALYSIS HEAT TRANSFER ANALYSIS Slide 11: If a machine experiences a problem because of an unexpected resonant frequency, high local flexibility, a weak element in the system, an unexpectedly high dynamic load, or excessive sensitivity to known dynamic loads, structural failure may occur. Finite element (FE) analysis helps find correction factors that make more cost-effective, simplified analyses as accurate as possible. APPLICATIONS OF F.E.A. Slide 12: High-frequency, unbalanced gas load excitation of a reciprocating compressor skid is evaluated by finite element analysis Slide 13: BOEING 747 AIRCRAFT OTHER EXAMPLES Slide 14: F.E.A. ON WING REGION (OVER 7000 UNKNOWNS) Slide 15: HUMAN FEMUR Slide 16: ADVANTAGES OF F.E.A. F.E.A can be applied to cater irregular geometry. It can take care of any type of boundary. Material anisotropy and inhomogeneity can be treated without much difficulty. Any type of loading can be handled . DISADVANTAGES OF F.E.A : DISADVANTAGES OF F.E.A Cost involved is very high. For vibration and stability problems in many cases the cost of analysis by F.E.A method may be prohibitive. There are other trouble spots such as aspect ratio which may affect the final results. Slide 18: Results of Finite Element Analysis FEA has become a solution to the task of predicting failure due to unknown stresses by showing problem areas in a material and allowing designers to see all of the theoretical stresses within. This method of product design and testing is far superior to the manufacturing costs which would accrue if each sample was actually built and tested.
