The Turing Foundation strives to offer children and young people the kind of education that can help them structurally, encourage their independence and autonomy, and enable them to contribute to their communities.
The Turing Foundation regards education as a means to offer people new opportunities in their lives in a constructive, structural and respectful way. Moreover, education benefits not only the individual, but also his environment and society as a whole. It can be seen as a sustainable method of poverty reduction.
We aim to increase the availability of quality education in Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, D.R. Congo, Guinee, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Sierra Leone, and Togo. ranging from primary education (from the age of 6), to secondary education, to vocational training (as a specific area of interest). More information can be found in our application procedures for education.

Vocational training for 250 young people, Kono district, Sierra Leone, 2016-2018
Chistian Aid has been working in Sierra Leone for more than 20 years with a local team of 24 people and local organisations like the national NGO Network Movement for Justice and Development (NMJD). The organisations have a similar approach: they enable people to improve their own situation.
This project will enable 250 young adults in Kono district to receive vocational training. They will be given a training place of their choice at existing workshops in Gbense, Tankoro and Fiama. Practitioners at these workshops are being taught training techniques. This project enables young people to develop a sustainable occupation and offers them an alternative to insecure and deplorable work in mines.
The Turing Foundation is donating 75,000 to this project (about 50% of the total budget, of which € 40,000 in 2016).

Self-sufficient Vocational Training Center for women, Parakou, Benin, 2016-2019
The Belgian Hubi & Vinciane Foundation supports regional development in the city of Parakou (central Benin) and its environs with projects in healthcare, economic (agricultural) development and education.
A vocational training centre in Parakou teaches 40 women a year how to process predominantly agricultural products into value-added products like juice or cosmetics. At present the number of trainees and sales during the programme generate insufficient revenue to make qualitative investments. The Hubi & Vinciane Foundation is helping the school build another classroom and improve its product processing facilities. The number of students is expected to grow to 100. The increased revenue is expected to lead to a positive annual result, which will enable the centre to fund small investments on its own in the future.
The Turing Foundation is donating € 50,000 to this project (about 50% of the total budget, of which € 20,000 in 2016).

Vocational training for 100 youths, Cameroon, 2014
Free a Girl (formerly "Stop Child Abuse") and its local partner ASSEJA offer vocational education to 100 underprivileged youths every year. The training consists of 3 months of theory combined with a 6-month to 2-year apprenticeship-based training with existing businesses (duration dependent on the trade). Trainings are offered in 5 cities: Yaoundé, Maroua, Bertoua, Bamenda and Ambam. The most popular courses are silk-screen printing, painting, tailoring, hairdressing/aesthetics, restaurant/pastry making and computer graphics. From previous experience, it turns out that 80% of teenagers that finish their training (on average, there's a 5% dropout rate) start their own self-supporting businesses. The other 20% generally has a good chance of remaining with the small businesses they were trained at.
The Turing Foundation
already supported this activity back in 2011
and will increase its contribution to a total of € 150,000 for the project until 2014 (50% of training costs).
In 2011, the program exceeded all expectations with regards to the number of applications, so ASSEJA decided to assign more than one youth to each trainer.
A total of 105 girls and 40 boys have enrolled in the program. It's currently being looked into whether the overcrowding affects the programs' quality, but it doesn't seem to.
The boys are especially motivated and there are hardly any dropouts.

Hard work, dedication, and even a bit of swallowing some pride, paid off for Oakdale resident Miguel Olivo and his mission to get back to the Major Leagues.
At its 24th Annual Workers Memorial at the State Capitol on May 1, Caltrans honored 183 employees who have lost their lives on the job. The solemn event comes about one year after two Caltrans employees were killed by a rockslide while working to protect the traveling public.
Even his mom is amazed.
Though a downpour, lightning and thunder dampened preparation efforts on Friday, the 13th annual Relay For Life of Oakdale went on undaunted over the weekend, hundreds of participants raising thousands of dollars in the fight against cancer.
Cal-OSHA, the state's Division of Occupational Safety and Health, protects workers from health and safety hazards on the job in almost every workplace in California through its research and standards, enforcement and consultation programs.
Police units spent a portion of Monday night, April 21, investigating a night time stabbing that occurred in the Oakdale Plaza Shopping Center.
Traffic collisions are the leading cause of death for teenagers in the United States. In response to this troubling fact, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) has partnered with Impact Teen Drivers with a shared goal, to change the teen culture and make distracted driving intolerable. The yearlong traffic safety campaign continues through September 2014.
The search to lead the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District ended when the district's board voted 4-0 and announced the appointment of its new fire chief, Randall Bradley, at its April 10 meeting. He will be paid $157,000 per year to lead the department.
It's an event that draws the community in droves and with good reason, much like the Halloween parade, the Kid's Fest and Safety Fair is all about the kids.
Fearing a 17 percent cut in city services with the loss of current Measure O funds, the Oakdale City Council on Monday night voted 4-1 in favor of requesting the county to place an initiative basically extending the current sales tax measure another five years on the November ballot.
The search to lead the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection ended when the district's board voted 4-0 and announced the appointment of its new fire chief, Randall Bradley, at its April 10 meeting. He will be paid $157,000 per year to lead the department.
The majority of collisions in the Central Division that end in death or injury begin with a speeding or aggressive driver. To address this issue, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) has embarked on a yearlong, lifesaving endeavor to reduce the frequency of these collisions.
From the nearly perfect weather to well-attended events throughout the week, Oakdale's 63rd annual PRCA Rodeo culminated with a fast-paced weekend of competition. All Around champion at the Oakdale Saddle Club-sponsored rodeo was Elko, Nevada resident Dakota Eldridge. He earned the title and the championship buckle, finishing in the money in both steer wrestling and tie down roping.
The final event in nearly a week of festivities before the start of the actual rodeo, Saturday morning's parade along F Street through downtown Oakdale draws dozens of entries and hundreds of participants.
Weather forecasters are calling for sunny skies and temperatures peaking in the 80s on Saturday, picture perfect for some egg hunting and fun.

Weiner's rant and the Democratic base
Greg Sargent says the following about Weiner's rant,
To be clear, I'm all for the kind of passion Weiner is showing here, but let's direct it properly. Don't get into a shouting match about procedure. As emotionally satisfying as it may be to watch, raging against the GOP opposition machine's successful efforts to tie Dems in knots just makes Dems look whiny, weak and impotent.
And in a follow up, Sargent goes on to say,
All I'm saying is that raging against successful Republican efforts to block individual Dem initiatives isn't enough. Raging about GOP obstructionism in general isn't enough, either. The point is that Dems need to build an effective larger case that transcends individual issues and reckons more directly with the strategy underlying all the GOP obstructionism.
I think Greg is operating with too blunt a scalpel, here. I understand his point, but I think that ultimately he misses the point of Weiner's rant, which, I'll add, didn't not strike me as even remotely, "weak", "whiny", or "impotent".
By my lights, Harry Reid is engaged in exactly the kind of strategy that Greg is looking for. Calmly and carefully, Reid is bringing a variety of bills to the floor and either chalking up a Democratic win or building a substantial case for Republican obstructionism. It's a subtle, long-play game and, as mentioned previously, I think Reid is rolling it out just about perfectly.
Some might offer that this reflects more on Senate Republicans than House Republicans, but I honestly don't think that fine a distinction is going to matter a great deal to the average voter. The point here is to build a case about, as Greg notes, the underlying Republican strategy. What are the members responsible for in regards to their Party.
But, turning Greg's argument on its head, that type of strategy isn't enough. It is, as they say, necessary, but not sufficient. As Gallup has hastened to point out with each of their generic ballots that have shown Democrats in the lead, there remains a substantial enthusiasm gap between Republican and Democratic voters. In short, Democrats have a deflated base that needs to get riled up and find a reason to get out to those polls and vote.
Harry Reid's cool and calm strategy isn't going to work in this regard. And while fear of losing the House and the Senate might generate some momentum, voters need more positive reasons to be motivated at the polls and, perhaps more importantly, in campaign offices. This is where Weiner's rant becomes useful.
Weiner picked an issue he feels strongly about and in which it is hard to find fault: providing medical care for those rescue workers affected by 9-11. It doesn't get much more altruistic than that in America these days. And Weiner's point is not so much to argue about procedure, which puts voters to sleep, but rather to reassert the case that Democrats are on the right side of history here. That Democrats are the good guys.
There has been so much conceding and strong rhetoric followed by tepid incrementalism that I think a lot of the Democratic base has started to question just to what extent they are the good guys. And progressives' full court press, as much as I've participated in and agree with it, doesn't help with that doubt.
What Weiner is as much as saying here is, "We're the good guys! You're the bad guys!" And that, frankly, is what rank and file Democrats need to hear leading up to the midterms.
Case in point: check out the reaction that the rant got from Balloon Juice commenters. I know that "respectable" Democrats don't want to believe that their base contains a considerable number of people who are precisely like the BJ "hooligans". But those respectable types would be, you know, wrong.

HOUSTON (AP) -- The crew of the shuttle Atlantis is preparing the
spaceship for tomorrow's landing after a two-week mission to the
international space station.
They've inspected the shuttle's wing and nose with a
laser-tipped boom to check for any possible micrometeorite damage.
NASA is analyzing the data and will let the astronauts know later
today if they're cleared for landing.
The examination has become standard procedure ever since
Columbia was destroyed on re-entry in 2003.
Commander Stephen Frick tells ABC News that the crew hopes the
weather cooperates so the ship can land in Florida tomorrow, saying
that everyone's families are waiting there.
Atlantis is to touch down at the Kennedy Space Center if the
weather is clear. If it's not, Atlantis will go to a backup landing
site in California.
NASA wants Atlantis to land tomorrow so the military can safely
shoot down a damaged satellite.

Buena Park police analyze computer of dead model's husband
BUENA PARK - Buena Park police detectives have received Ryan Alexander Jenkins' computer from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and are in the process of analyzing its contents.
Jenkins, 32, of Canada, who was wanted in connection with the slaying of his swimsuit model wife Jasmine Fiore, hanged himself from a coat rack by a belt inside a room at the Thunderbird Motel in British Columbia on Aug. 23. An autopsy revealed it was a suicide.
The computer was found in the motel room of the reality TV contestant, but its contents are not yet known to Buena Park detectives.
"It's still an active case but they are putting other cases in front of it that have more priority," said Buena Park police Lt. Robin Sells.
A suicide note was not found in Jenkins' room, but the computer hard drive will be analyzed in hopes that it will reveal new information on Fiore's murder.
Fiore's dismembered body was discovered Aug. 15 in a suitcase left in a trash bin at a Buena Park apartment complex.
Fiore, 28, had apparently been strangled, police said, sometime after the morning of Aug. 14. Her teeth and finger tips had been removed in an apparent attempt by the killer to stymie authorities' efforts to identify her body. Her body was identified by the serial numbers on her breast implants, prosecutors said.

We currently have a remote branch office connecting to the main office through a remote vpn client. Recently we had to upgrade the software application used there. This application talks to the server installed in the main office through VPN. This setup works fine but the application when connecting to the main office produces a lot of delay which is not acceptible. Before this appliation was a stand alone application and it generates its output in less than few minutes. Now its takes more than 30 minutes. Currently we have a very slow internet connection 1.5mbps/256 kbps with a microsoft vpn client installed on a computer running this application. Our options are
- Upgrade the internet connection to 20 mbps/800 kbps.
- Create site to site vpn.
- Installing this application in a terminal server in the main office and allow users in remote office to rdp to the terminal server through vpn client.
What is the best option?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Alliance contractor who has charge of the grading work for the new offering our enaiu street us a convenient testing ground for his new steam grading outfit. The scheme made a hit with Mr. Burke and us a result Wyoming Avenue will soon have the appeafence of a full- fledged boulevard. Tbe steam grader is a wonder and throws more dirt in twenty minutes than a man could shovel in a month. Of course it will be necessary to use the spade and scraper in places in order to give the work that rolling smoothness charac (eristic with high clans, metropolitan boulevardn. And this particular fea- ture of tbe enterprise mast be looked after by our own citizens, which means that somebody will have to do n little manual labor. (Iligbt here we should like to state that we are at liberty at any time.) ID tbe name of the people of Gnero- Tbe Gazette extends to yon, Mr. Barke, a thousands thanks. Wo ap- preciate what yon have done and are not 6nly willing but anxious to return the favor. Now we will have more lime and energy to expend on the other streets which need grading jnst as badly OF did Wyoming There should be no let np in this work until overy strent in town is in good shnpe.

Go: Theatre: Rock on Tommy with Jonathan and Pal Robbie
Byline: By Marion McMullen
CHART-TOPPER Robbie Williams is rumoured to be heading to the Midlands to see his best mate Jonathan Wilkes play rock 'n' roll pinball wizard Tommy.
The musical opens at Birmingham Hippodrome on Wednesday and at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry from March 7. And it is rumoured that superstar Robbie will turn up at one or the other venue.
He and Jonathan have been firm friends since they were kids and Jonathan's first stage appearance was at the Queen's Theatre in Burslem opposite Robbie in an amateur production of Hans Christian Anderson.
Jonathan says he still remembers all the songs from the show and proves his point by launching into snatches of Ugly Duckling and Inch Worm.
"I was seven and Robbie was 11 and we had to run across the stage in nightgowns," remembers Jonathan. "One night Robbie came up to me and said the director had said we had to lift our nightgowns up as we were running across the stage. 'Really?' I said. 'Oh, yes,' says Robbie. So I ran out lifted my nightgown - and I didn't have any pants on underneath - and flashed the entire audience. The director went mad afterwards. He made me cry."
Robbie and Jonathan's friendship survived the experience. They shared a London flat for four years and Robbie was Jonathan's best man when he married dancer Nikki Wheeler in Los Angeles last year.
Jonathan has appeared on television in You've Been Framed and Live on a Saturday Night, but says his first love is the stage.
He has enjoyed success in Godspell, put on stockings and suspenders for The Rocky Horror Show 30th anniversary tour and rocked audiences in Grease. …

Is it feasible to put an inflatable kayak in a backpack, strap a two piece paddle to the bike or backpack, and take off on a nice little outing all day on your day off?
The reason I ask is basically I never hear about people doing this and I've been thinking of doing it. I put this in this forum because this seems like something adventurous road biking people would be into. Also if there are activities similar to this that people go on I would love to hear about it.
My specific case, I would actually be road biking to the beach (15 mile trip each way). I would secure the bike, inflate the kayak and get to it. Its the ocean so I'm not sure what kayak I would need yet, but to give you an idea an entry freshwater inflatable kayak weights 15 lbs and starts at $50. The most rugged inflatable kayaks I have seen are $300 - $400 and weigh about 30 to 50 lbs.
One thing of concern to me is how the ocean would effect the feasibility of this. For example, in shallow water there may be more things that could tear the kayak. This may sound dumb but I am not keen on the idea of some inflatable material being the only thing between me and a shark either.
I'm getting ready to purchase a bike and will use this information to help my decision also.
