Gets my hair clean!
I use Tea Tree Triple Treat by Giovanni Cosmetics about once a month to get my hair extra clean. While it is more cleansing than most sulfate-free shampoos, it is a little drying for my very curly hair. It has a very strong minty smell, but it is pleasant and lingers very subtly in the hair. Great ingredients as always with Giovanni Cosmetics.

Greendale task force recommends student-run anti-bullying group
Helping bullies see effects of their actions seen as key
Greendale - The Climate and Culture Taskforce would like to see a student-run group created to combat bullying at the high school and middle school, its members told the School Board on Monday.
The task force - comprising 25 students, faculty members and parents - has met three times since November. The group examined instances and locations of bullying via an online survey, the district's current policy and other school districts' strategies to mitigate and stop bullying.
The task force found that most instances of bullying happen away from faculty members and administrators, and that a large amount of bullying happens via social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter.
The proposed anti-bullying group models the Agents of Change organization at Wisconsin Lutheran High School. Agents of Change is a 100-member student group that focuses on promoting acceptance.
The proposed student-run group would use restorative justice techniques to help curb bullying. Restorative justice involves a face-to-face mediated discussion between the bully and victim. Members also would be trained to identify and speak out about bullying.
"Once the student sees the effect of their behavior, it enables them to change and see that the outcome is harmful," explained Sue Castro, co-chairman of the Climate and Culture Taskforce. "It might be the only opportunity that these kids have to see what we call positive reinforced behavior."
The group could potentially rival the size of Agents of Change at 100 students. While the task force recommends the group be put in place not only at the high school level, but also in the middle school, the group is still in its conceptual phase and needs to be approved by administrators before becoming a reality.
Emphasizing a need for broad representation in the group, Castro said: "We cannot only include the highfliers, the kids that are asked to contribute on everything. You have to include the students who don't have a voice."
An additional strategy may be to have the high school theater group create skits that promote character education development.
The task force's other recommendations were to have each school submit a climate and culture strategic plan each year, to train staff on spotting instances of bullying and to work closely with parent groups to curb bullying.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing how this plays out in our schools," School Board member Victoria McCormick said of the findings. "It takes a village to raise a child. It's all of us working together that helps children become the best they can be."

'Lucky' man Collingwood full of verve
England came up trumps again for "lucky guy" Paul Collingwood today to book themselves and their captain a place in the ICC World Twenty20 final.
Collingwood's team trounced Sri Lanka by seven wickets in the semi-finals at the Beausejour Stadium in St Lucia and will face Australia or defending champions Pakistan, who meet tomorrow, in Sunday's showdown at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.
The prospect of facing Australia at the start of an Ashes year brought an instant smile to the England captain's face, but he will have to wait for the outcome of tomorrow's second semi-final before he can start making firm plans.
As for today's performance, Collingwood was delighted after his team produced the goods again to win their fourth successive match at this tournament.
"It was a pressure game, a semi-final," he said, after England had easily chased 128 for six to win with four full overs to spare.
"I'm going to sound like a broken record, but the bowlers have adapted superbly well again after we lost the toss on what I thought was a very good pitch.
"The fielding was spot on; we held our catches and restricted them to a score that was obviously very gettable on that surface.
"I'm just delighted that we turned up in such a pressurised situation."
Collingwood is wary of assumption about who may be England's next opponents.
But asked about the prospect of facing Australia, and comparing his team with theirs, he said: "We are not far off. They are a very powerful side themselves and obviously have a lot of pace in their attack.
"It's going to be a proper head-to-head, that one on Sunday – if we were to play Australia.
"We are just happy to be in the final, but we haven't won anything yet. I am going to keep drilling that into the guys – we haven't won anything yet but we've got ourselves into a position to win. That's a thing I'm delighted about.
"I think everybody on the outside would want to see an England-Australia game. But you've got to be careful. Pakistan are still a very dangerous side.
"You've got to show them a lot of respect - they are the world champions - so no matter who we come up against, we are going to have to continue to play the way we have played and hope that will be good enough."
Whether England rise to the occasion or not, Collingwood is already a proud captain of a team who have done everything right so far.
"I'm just a lucky guy who's putting a few fielders around everywhere," he joked.
"They have been very easy to captain, and I am sure over the next couple of days we will continue with the confidence-building all the way through.
"We will keep that belief in us and hit Sunday as hard as we have over the past week and a half."
For beaten Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara, it was a day to regret - and then forget.
"It was a good wicket to bat on, and 150 was a realistic target," he said. "In the first six overs, if we'd got 40 runs with wickets in hand we could have accelerated through the middle - but we lost three wickets early.
"Angelo Mathews played very well, but we didn't bat smartly today."
Whether former World Cup winner Sanath Jayasuriya, who made one run and bowled one over for 15, may soon have reached the end of his career, at the age of almost 41, is a moot point.
"Unfortunately he didn't have a great run," Sangakkara conceded. "But to his credit, he stuck with the team through a difficult period - and the team stuck with him.
"He showed a lot of support, and we made sure he felt wanted. Unfortunately he didn't deliver, but we still had more than enough quality to do better than we did today."

DIY Floating Hot Air Balloons
DIY Projects
I now have this sudden urge of throwing a party that requires hot air balloons. Just so I can make these. Karen, the crafty bride from this gorgeous wedding shot by Paul Von Rieter, made these whimsical hot air balloons using large bouncy balls. They are often found at dollar stores, so they can be made affordably. Thank you for sharing, these are incredible! More DIY details in the gallery and on her blog.
What you'll need:
– large bouncy balls
– potted herbs
– square tin pots (or cans)
– acrylic paint
– brush
– twine for tying tins to the "balloons"
To make each pattern, I started off by drawing a base guide. I taped a long piece of string to the ball, and then I tied a Sharpie to the end of that string where I wanted to start drawing a guide. Then I rotated the Sharpie along that string "axis" to draw a perfect circle around the ball. I did this several times along different lengths, with the same taped point. Just imagine a bunch of "latitude" lines drawn on the ball with Sharpie. I use those new circles to guide me with drawing a symmetrical pattern for each of the balls. If you want to be really precise, I would measure the circumference of the "equator", and divide that evenly by a number for an exact repeating pattern.
Once your balloons are dry, attach your herb "baskets" to them using twine. Punch holes on your herb tins with the help of a hammer and nails. Attach them to the ceiling and add your table numbers to the bottom of each.
So brilliant! Fun, crafty, a bit of math thrown in. Yay! Thanks for sharing!
You have just given me a great idea for a piñata for the kids at our wedding. Thanks

These floating balloons look really great and it can become one of the things that will make wedding receptions more memorable!

Managing the "Right to Lie"
Early on March 2, 1966, the U.S. Department of Defense alerted the Washington press corps that a major announcement would be made at a secretarial press conference later that day.
The briefing room was filled, with overflow connected by intercom in an adjoining room. The reporters were handed one of the most remarkable documents ever released by a government at war -- nothing less than the entire troop deployment schedule for U.S. forces being sent to fight in Vietnam, as well as what was available, down to the last battalion, for worldwide contingencies, not least of them a possible Soviet offensive into Western Europe. 1
"Recently articles have appeared in the press," the announcement began, "which give the impression that because of the major deployments of U.S. military forces to Southeast Asia the United States is now militarily overextended and would not be able to meet other contingencies. . . ."
The recent articles were reports by Hanson W. Baldwin of the New York Times that Senate Armed Services Committee investigators had concluded U.S. forces worldwide had, indeed, been gutted to support the deployments to Vietnam. The press conference was designed to refute that charge.
A quick scan of the seven-page, closely typed statement revealed something else: The deployment schedule described could not be achieved without fifteen National Guard divisions that Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara had been proclaiming for at least a year to be "excess to military requirements." That was part of an elaborate effort to demonstrate that, while conducting the war in Vietnam, the administration was achieving large savings in overall defense management.
Sitting in front of McNamara as he presented the written statement and

Paramount's 2014 capital budget for exploration and development and strategic investments, excluding land acquisitions and capitalized interest, was increased in June 2014 by $150 million to $800 million. The increased capital budget includes incremental spending of approximately $70 million for the two new refrigeration plants, $50 million for Willesden Green Duvernay activities and $20 million to commence construction of the two new walking drilling rigs.
Following first sales from the Musreau Deep Cut Facility, sales volumes will increase as the Company ramps-up production from its inventory of behind-pipe wells, additional components of the Company's Kaybob area infrastructure are completed and incremental third-party de-ethanization capacity becomes available. Sales volumes are expected to reach approximately 50,000 Boe/d later in 2014 and increase to approximately 70,000 Boe/d in 2015, depending upon the availability of downstream third-party de-ethanization capacity.
Paramount is an independent, publicly traded, Canadian corporation that explores for and develops conventional petroleum and natural gas prospects, pursues longer-term non-conventional exploration and pre-development projects and holds investments in other entities. The Company's principal properties are located in Alberta and British Columbia. Paramount's Class A Common Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "POU".

This information will also be made available through Paramount's website at www.paramountres.com and SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Certain statements in this document constitute forward-looking information under applicable securities legislation. Forward-looking information typically contains statements with words such as "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "will", "expect", "plan", "schedule", "intend", "propose", or similar words suggesting future outcomes or an outlook. Forward looking information in this document includes, but is not limited to:
-- projected production and sales volumes and growth and the timing thereof; -- forecast capital expenditures; -- exploration, development, and associated operational plans and strategies and the anticipated timing of such activities; -- projected timelines for, and the anticipated costs of, constructing, commissioning and/or starting-up new and expanded natural gas processing and associated facilities; -- projected timelines for, and the anticipated costs of, constructing new walking drilling rigs; -- the projected availability of third party processing, transportation, fractionation, de-ethanization and other facilities; and -- business strategies and objectives.
Such forward-looking information is based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made with respect to the following matters, in addition to any other assumptions identified in this document:
-- future oil, bitumen, natural gas, NGLs and other commodity prices; -- royalty rates, taxes and capital, operating, general & administrative and other costs; -- foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; -- general economic and business conditions; -- the ability of Paramount to obtain the required capital to finance its exploration, development and other operations; -- the ability of Paramount to obtain equipment, services, supplies and personnel in a timely manner and at an acceptable cost to carry out its activities; -- the ability of Paramount to secure adequate product processing, transportation, fractionation, de-ethanization and storage capacity on acceptable terms; -- the ability of Paramount to market its oil, bitumen, natural gas and NGLs successfully to current and new customers; -- the ability of Paramount and its industry partners to obtain drilling success (including in respect of anticipated production volumes, reserves additions and NGLs yields) and operational improvements, efficiencies and results consistent with expectations; -- the timely receipt of required governmental and regulatory approvals; and -- anticipated timelines and budgets being met in respect of drilling programs and other operations (including well completions and tie-ins and the construction, commissioning and start-up of new and expanded facilities).
Although Paramount believes that the expectations reflected in such forward looking information is reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on it as Paramount can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking information is based on expectations, estimates and projections that involve a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by Paramount and described in the forward looking information. The material risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
-- fluctuations in oil, bitumen, natural gas, NGLs and other commodity prices; -- changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; -- the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to future revenue, future production, NGLs yields, royalty rates, taxes and costs and expenses; -- the ability to secure adequate product processing, transportation, fractionation, de-ethanization and storage capacity on acceptable terms; -- operational risks in exploring for, developing and producing crude oil, bitumen, natural gas and NGLs; -- the ability to obtain equipment, services, supplies and personnel in a timely manner and at an acceptable cost; -- potential disruptions or unexpected technical or other difficulties in designing, developing, expanding or operating new, expanded or existing facilities (including third party facilities); -- industry wide processing, pipeline, de-ethanization, and fractionation infrastructure outages, disruptions and constraints; -- risks and uncertainties involving the geology of oil and gas deposits; -- the uncertainty of reserves and resources estimates; -- general business, economic and market conditions; -- the ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and obtain financing at an acceptable cost to fund planned exploration, development and operational activities and meet current and future obligations (including costs of anticipated new and expanded facilities and other projects and product processing, transportation, de-ethanization, fractionation and similar commitments); -- changes in, or in the interpretation of, laws, regulations or policies (including environmental laws); -- the ability to obtain required governmental or regulatory approvals in a timely manner, and to enter into and maintain leases and licenses; -- the effects of weather; -- the timing and cost of future abandonment and reclamation obligations and potential liabilities for environmental damage and contamination; -- uncertainties regarding aboriginal claims and in maintaining relationships with local populations and other stakeholders; -- the outcome of existing and potential lawsuits, regulatory actions, audits and assessments; and -- other risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this document and in Paramount's other filings with Canadian securities authorities.
The foregoing list of risks is not exhaustive. For more information relating to risks, see the section titled "RISK FACTORS" in Paramount's current annual information form. The forward-looking information contained in this document is made as of the date hereof and, except as required by applicable securities law, Paramount undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
In this document "Funds flow from operations", "Netback", "Net Debt", "Exploration and development expenditures" and "Investments in other entities - market value", collectively the "Non-GAAP measures", are used and do not have any standardized meanings as prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards.
Funds flow from operations refers to cash from operating activities before net changes in operating non-cash working capital, geological and geophysical expenses and asset retirement obligation settlements. Funds flow from operations is commonly used in the oil and gas industry to assist management and investors in measuring the Company's ability to fund capital programs and meet financial obligations. Netback equals petroleum and natural gas sales less royalties, operating costs, production taxes and transportation costs. Netback is commonly used by management and investors to compare the results of the Company's oil and gas operations between periods. Net Debt is a measure of the Company's overall debt position after adjusting for certain working capital amounts and is used by management to assess the Company's overall leverage position. Refer to the liquidity and capital resources section of the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the period for the calculation of Net Debt. Exploration and development expenditures refer to capital expenditures and geological and geophysical costs incurred by the Company's COUs (excluding land and acquisitions). The exploration and development expenditure measure provides management and investors with information regarding the Company's Principal Property spending on drilling and infrastructure projects, separate from land acquisition activity. Investments in other entities - market value reflects the Company's investments in enterprises whose securities trade on a public stock exchange at their period end closing price (e.g. Trilogy Energy Corp., MEG Energy Corp., Strategic Oil & Gas Ltd. and others), and investments in all other entities at book value. Paramount provides this information because the market values of equity-accounted investments, which are significant assets of the Company, are often materially different than their carrying values.
Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to their most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Non-GAAP measures are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
This document contains disclosures expressed as "Boe" and "Boe/d". All oil and natural gas equivalency volumes have been derived using the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. Equivalency measures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the well head. The term "liquids" is used to represent oil and natural gas liquids.
During the first half of 2014, the value ratio between crude oil and natural gas was approximately 18:1. This value ratio is significantly different from the energy equivalency ratio of 6:1. Using a 6:1 ratio would be misleading as an indication of value.

Courses in WGSS provide students with new perspectives on the roles of women and men as individuals, within families and communities, and as participants in society across cultures. Based on research and analysis by scholars in nearly every discipline, courses examine how social structures, ideals, stereotypes, mores, and institutions shape people as gendered and sexual beings and in terms of their access to power. Courses also examine how people have responded to limitations systematically organized around gender as it intersects with race, class, sexual orientation, colonization, ethnicity, and other social hierarchies. Courses explore solutions to contemporary problems; internships allow deeper exploration and further development of skills. Because of their emphasis on communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving, WGSS courses are valuable in a broad range of employment settings. WGSS programs include courses within the interdisciplinary department, where students have the opportunity to integrate research from different disciplinary perspectives, as well as specialized courses in many other departments across the university.

The Ecumenical Assembly for Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation
Falcke, Heino, The Ecumenical Review
The Vancouver assembly of the World Council of Churches in 1983, in part through the efforts of Heino Falcke and the delegates from the GDR, called on the WCC "to engage member churches in a conciliar process of mutual commitment to justice, peace and the integrity of creation". In the GDR, the high point of this conciliar process was an Ecumenical Assembly of Churches and Christians which met in three sessions in 1988 and 1989, and which, not least because of the involvement of peace, environmental and human rights groups, made unprecedented demands for the reform of the GDR and influenced the citizens' movements and political parties formed at the time of the peaceful revolution of autumn 1989. As envisaged at the Vancouver assembly, the conciliar process was intended to link the issue of peace, a priority at that time for many WCC members in the northern hemisphere, with that of global justice, an overriding concern for churches in the South. In the course of preparations for the Ecumenical Assembly in the GDR, however; the discourse of justice was applied to GDR society itself, something that was reflected in the 10,000 proposals from parishes, groups and individuals for the assembly, and in the "testimonies of concern" with which the assembly opened its first session in February 1988. In this article, (1) which comes from a conference in Dresden in April 1999 to mark the 10th anniversary of the final session of the Ecumenical Assembly, Falcke reflects on how the assembly changed from being a Christian, church gathering to becoming an emerging opposition within civil society.
When I look back today at the Ecumenical Assembly, I have to begin with two contradictory remarks: The ecumenical assembly was astonishingly successful. The ecumenical assembly failed.
In terms of GDR history, it brought an unexpected upsurge of ecumenical fellowship and paved the way for the political movement that led to the autumn revolution of 1989. But the assembly failed in its aspiration to set the direction of change. It was eclipsed by the process of German unification. The policy of the Kohl government--and likewise, one has to say, of the Schroder government today--was exactly the opposite of the three preferential options of the ecumenical assembly. (2) It is a policy in which financial interests take priority over those of the social welfare state, military solutions are preferred to the peaceful resolution of conflict and economic interests have priority over environmental sustainability. For none of the three preferential options does there seem to he a majority in our country that might he able to bring about a change of policy. And, what is worse, our churches have resisted the trend half-heartedly at best, if at all.
It is clear that the ecumenical assembly in the time before October 1989 cannot be repeated and, fortunately, there is no need to repeat it. But it is equally clear to me that the course it wanted to set remains essentially correct. The question that interests me, therefore, is what lessons can be learned from that ecumenical assembly ten years ago so that the hope it represented may be revived to resist the spirit of the age today.
The ecumenical assembly was a new beginning and a breakthrough ecumenically
What were its main features and what dynamics were at work? My first answer to that question is that we grew together in ecumenical fellowship because we faced up to the mission of the gospel in the challenges of our world. Two quotations from the message of the ecumenical assembly testify to this. "We have tried to reflect on the challenges of our times in the light of the gospel. We have realized that the biblical call to repentance is addressed to us today in a new way." Or again, "The ecumenical momentum of our assembly is irreversible: we have felt it to be full of hope for our churches' way ahead."
The World Council of Churches had taken up the global challenge in Vancouver in 1985, with its call for a conciliar process for justice, peace and the integrity of creation. …

Additional Information
About VisionFund AlbaniaVisionFund Albania is a micro-finance subsidiary of child hunger nonprofit World Vision International. Striving to improve child welfare, the organization offers a variety of loan products designed for rural, traditionally underserved clients and their families. These products include agriculture, business and household improvement loans, as well as "integration loans" targeted to help the poorest, most vulnerable Albanian households acquire value chain resources.
While VFA is focused on the empowerment of the poor overall, it pays special attention to women. About 60% of loans to entrepreneurs on Kiva go to women.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Proposals for Third Television Network Resurface, but Timetable Remains Unclear
Navarro, Carlos, SourceMex Economic News & Analysis on Mexico
Mexico could authorize the creation of a third television network sometime in the near future, possibly within the next two years, although some members of the telecommunications commission (Comision Federal de Telecomunicaciones, COFETEL) caution that more technical studies are necessary to make the final determination. Proponents of a third network argue that a new outlet would bring more democracy to the television-broadcast airwaves, which are currently dominated by the Televisa and TV Azteca networks. But creating a third network from scratch seems like the most remote of the options at this point, with one of the informal proposals before regulators to grant a proposal from giant telecommunications company TELMEX, owned by billionaire Carlos Slim, to offer limited television-broadcast services.
The proposal to create a third network in Mexico was part of the telecommunications debate leading to the passage of the existing broadcast law (Ley Federal de Radio y Television, LEFERYT) in 2006. The law ultimately ceded control of the television-broadcast airwaves to Televisa and TV Azteca SourceMex, April 5, 2006, in contrast with public demands for a more democratic allocation of the airwaves SourceMex, Oct. 13, 2004 and May 25, 2005.
In 2007, Mexico's high court invalidated several provisions of the LEFERTY, opening the doors for the Congress to make changes to ensure that the broadcast law complies with the Mexican Constitution SourceMex, May 16, 2007. One of the SCJN's most important decisions was to reject a provision in the LEFERYT that would have granted current concessions holders almost exclusive rights to digital broadcasts. The government is in the process of converting the old analog system to a digital spectrum SourceMex, June 20, 2007.
COFETEL has opened the possibility that a third network could happen soon. But the agency has been vague about details, and no plans have been announced on how concessions would be handled to ensure that any suitors would open opportunities to provide a greater public voice in the broadcast industry. In a recent interview, COFETEL president Mony de Swaan suggested that the parameters to open applications for a third and maybe a fourth network could be ready by the end of 2011 or perhaps sometime in the first half of 2012. He raised the possibility that the parties that won the concessions could begin operations by the end of 2012.
But another COFETEL commissioner, Gonzalo Martinez Pous, said the timetable proposed by de Swaan was a little overoptimistic because there is not even a plan in place to handle concessions. "We cannot talk about opening bids for a process that we have never conducted in our country," said Martinez Pous. "We need sophisticated analyses, including a technical study to determine which frequencies are free and which frequencies will not cause interference. We also need a marketing study to determine if conditions exist to create new channels or networks."
Martinez Pous also cited the need for an extensive consultation process allowing the broadest range of opinions. …
