Book synopsis
Intercultural dialogue is a concept and discourse that dates back to the 1980s. It is the major means for managing diversity and strengthening democracy within Europe and beyond. It has been adopted by the United Nations, UNESCO and the Council of Europe as the basis for interreligious and interfaith initiatives and has become increasingly associated with a liberal theory of modernity and internationalism that presupposes freedom, democracy, human rights and tolerance. It is now the dominant paradigm for 'cultural policy' and the educational basis for the development of intercultural understanding. Governments have placed their hope in intercultural education as the way to avoid the worst excesses of globalization, especially exclusion and marginalization, and the problems of xenophobia and racism that afflict European societies. Interculturalism, Education and Dialogue is an international collection by renowned scholars who examine the ideological underpinnings of the European model and its global applications. It explores the historical, philosophical and educational dimensions of intercultural dialogue.

«Tina Besley and Michael A. Peters have provided us with an excellent and timely book. It is useful for understanding the value of education in our globalized world with an increasingly growing interdependence among states, cultures and people. It addresses important issues and provides the reader with insightful and critical discussion on theoretical views on interculturalism, education and dialogue. It also offers critical analyses of the role and function of education within countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America, and the extent to which the educational systems within these countries respond to the challenges posed by social diversity. Anyone concerned with the discussed challenges can benefit from reading it.» (Klas Roth, Stockholm University)
«This is a timely anthology of essays on some of the philosophical, sociological and historical underpinnings of intercultural dialogue in Europe and the wider world. This edited collection is intended to contribute to the cultivation of diversity and democracy in pluralist societies. The volume will indeed centrally contribute towards minimising some of the excesses of globalisation such as escalating levels of xenophobia, exclusion and marginalisation, and racism. As the world is constantly seeking for solutions to bridge the widening gap among different cultures, the contributors reaffirm the different philosophical strands of dialogue that can become an authoritative intellectual resource for readers serious about extending the intertwined theoretical and practical nexus between interculturalism, education and dialogue. Here is a collection most appropriately situated within leading contemporary debates about democratic action, citizenship rights and responsibilities, and cosmopolitan imaginings.» (Yusef Waghid, Professor of Philosophy of Education, Stellenbosch University)

Jason Sea Fresh Spearmint Toothpaste
Posted by Sprinkles on Apr 12, 2009
This is a very nice-tasting toothpaste to use. Soft spearmint flavor; not too strong. It would never burn your mouth like some other mints. This one doesn't do anything for whitening the teeth, however. Also, it has an extremely odd quirk in that the paste doesn't all melt down and foam out - some "clumps" of it stay in your toothbrush instead of all coming out in your mouth while brushing, so at the end, you have to rinse your toothbrush and shake it a couple of times, and the remaining toothpaste will then fall out in the sink in little clumps -- some rinses down the drain easily, but other clumps of it stick to the sink and are hard to get off. Very messy and too much trouble; I will not buy this toothpaste again because of this.
Not for sensitive teeth
Posted by Reviewer1397090 on Sep 12, 2011
Tastes very good, but makes my sensitive teeth even MORE sensitive. I had to stop using it, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with sensitive teeth.
Posted by Reviewer1909805 on Sep 18, 2008
Sorry, but I can't really taste any spearmint in it. I do like the fact it does not foam up and fill my mouth like most commercial toothpastes do.
Nice foam, bad taste
Posted by lavkarbo on Dec 15, 2014
This one has nice foam, but unfortunately a very bad taste in my opinion.
Taste strange. This paste doesn't approach for sensitive teeth
Posted by Reviewer1877965 on Apr 20, 2011
In taste there is that what isn't present in other pastes. I don't like this smack. And if long to clean, I feel unpleasant sensations around sensitive teeth. This paste doesn't approach for sensitive teeth (that react on sweet or cold).

Menomonee Falls School Board prioritizing facilities needs
Ben Franklin has mold; Shady Lane needs roof
Menomonee Falls — As a possible facilities-related referendum looms in the future, Menomonee Falls school officials are turning their immediate attention toward pressing needs in the district's six primary buildings.
A number of — including summer capital projects and outdoor facilities planning — were discussed last week at a School Board work session.
During the summer hiatus, plans call for the bulk of the district's attention to go toward Ben Franklin Elementary School. A number of projects are on the list, including lighting and ceiling tile upgrades, redoing the parking lot, replacing the gymnasium floor, addressing mold in the school's basement and tackling any related asbestos cleanup.
Another possible project on the high priority-list is the roof at Shady Lane Elementary School. Jeffrey Gross, director of business services, said the true importance of this line item will be known upon winter's completion as professionals assess its condition.
The question of how much work will be addressed this summer was debated between board members. Cost estimates range between $1.12 million and $1.34 million. Depending upon the extent of the work, the district could dip into reserve money in the fund balance.
Using reserves questioned
Several board members expressed interest in having an itemized priority list on the more immediate capital expense items. The merits of dipping into reserve money also were reviewed extensively.
"I think the board needs to have a discussion about what our priority is with fund balance," board President Faith VanderHorst said. "When you take into account our credit rating, and how it's tied to the fund balance, I'm a little nervous. The community values how we spend our money."
From his professional standpoint, Gross said he believed using fund balance could be helpful to see some of the projects through.
"This is something for the board to chew on," he said. "You protect your fund balance for these kinds of capitol items."
For her part, VanderHorst said she wanted some of the most pressing items addressed.
"If there is mold, we need to clean it up," she said. "It there's a leak in the roof, that has to be taken care of."
Depending upon the board's decision, work at Ben Franklin could be spread out over two summers. If the district does tackle all of the work this year, Ben Franklin's summer school classes likely would be transferred to Riverside and Shady Lane elementary schools.
Softball field needs deeper fences
The board also discussed plans for the new softball field and accompanying outfield fences at Menomonee Falls High School.
The school's current outfield fencing does not meet recently enacted regulations put in place by the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association, or WIAA. If the district does not install new regulatory fencing this year, the high school's home games will need to be held at a different field.
A firm decision on the future of the softball field has not yet been made, although district officials continue to eye the necessary regulatory enhancements.
Throughout the planning process, funding the project has largely been donor-driven. The Menomonee Falls Optimist Club could donate some of the funding toward the project, which also entails installing new turf and potentially adding restrooms. A decision on the Optimist Club's level participation could be handed down next month.
Further discussion and ultimate action on some of the board's facility issues will take place at upcoming regular board and special facilities-specific meetings.

Dear Friend,
"Today I will share with you a simple hack that allows you to have a listing of all of your posts! Think of it as the default "Blog Archive" widget without the hassle of opening and/or showing the arrow buttons."
This was the introductory text I used for promoting my original "Table of Contents" hack two years ago.
Today, while tidying up my old posts and moving them to the archived blog, I wonder if I could make this into a scroll down box to save space, if I were to have hundreds of headlines. I thought this would involved some sort of JavaScript code, but then after examining BlogU'ssimilar Table of Contents code, it is such a simple styling using CSS code. I "borrow" her code and modify my original hack, et voilà, it works! At the moment I'm installing it on my blog so you could see what it looks like.
Such is the beautiful of HTML and CSS, one line of code can change a look completely, making the widget now very usable, since you can change the height (height:200px to whatever,) and further render the look by applying styles to the div, such as style='height:200px;overflow:auto;border:1px solid brown' .
Installing this hack is very simple. First, follow the instructions from this article Hacking Technique: How To Modify Template, in particular section B.4. Then cut this code below and paste it in between any two "b:widget" tags, save the template, and you're done.

<data:i.title/>

To reverse the chronological order so that the oldest posts will appear first on the list, go to "Page Element," select the just-created widget, and select the box "Show Older Posts First".
My special thanks to Annie for her use of expandable "Table of Contents" on her blog.
Have a wonderful day.

A Ukrainian journalist who escaped last week after five months being held captive by Syrian rebels said Monday she is planning to go back to the war-torn country despite her ordeal.
Ankhar Kochneva, an Arabic speaker who publicly supports the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, was working for a Russian-language television channel in Syria when she was kidnapped in early October.
She told AFP she had endured grim conditions and suffered health problems while being held prisoner by Syrian rebels.
"I have nerves of steel but you cannot cheat your body. It was a stressful situation. I was hungry and cold for five months," Kochneva said.
The 40-year-old told reporters after her escape that she was abducted by the rebel Free Syrian Army and held near the central city of Homs.
While in captivity, she said her kidnappers took away vital medicines that she was taking for a chronic condition.
"I had health problems, hormonal problems. They took away all my drugs. I had had six months treatment before and when I got there my problems returned. I was losing my hair."
"I looked horrible, I think they would have killed me not to show what they did to me."
Despite her ill-health, Kochneva said she wants to go back to Syria soon.
"I think I will go back in about two weeks," she said, noting that first she needed to obtain a new passport because her old one was left behind in Syria.
"I will return for sure even though I know that I am on their kill list because I spat in their faces and fled."
Kochneva kept a diary in captivity which she plans to turn into a book later.
In November, the journalist appeared in a video posted on YouTube under the title "The Ukrainian spy working with Russian officers is in the hands of the Free Syrian Army."
Her captors demanded $50 million (39 million euros) for her release, according to her relatives, although the sum was later reduced to $300,000.
Kochneva claimed she wanted to sue the Syrian rebel leadership and needed to find lawyers in Europe.
"These people said they have some sort of proof (of Kochneva's guilt). Let them demonstrate it."
Before her abduction, she had received threats from the rebels who accused her of cooperating with the Assad regime, she said.
Ukraine's foreign ministry said the journalist had returned home on Sunday, adding her state of health was "satisfactory."
Now in its third year, the bloody conflict in Syria has killed at least 70,000 people and forced one million to flee their homes.

If you are of a certain age, your primary, and perhaps only, reference to elderberries is likely an Elton John song, a scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, or if older perhaps a Cary Grant film. So it was much to my surprise to learn that elderberries grow wild all along the American River, less than half a mile from my home.
We moved to Sacramento when I was nine; I have spent countless summers catching minnows and picking blackberries at the river. I can't believe these elderberries have been there the whole time, right in front of me.
Picking them was a challenge, given the star thistles poking through our jeans, constant vigilance for ticks (I really don't like those) and rattlesnakes (have had a couple close encounters with those at the river).
The good news is that there are plenty of elderberry shrubs right alongside various paths and trails around the river, so you don't have to do much bushwhacking to get to them. In most parts of the country they ripen in late summer; here in Sacramento they begin to ripen in early July and then new clusters ripen all summer.
One of the many elderberry shrubs growing along the American River
If you do go picking, wear long sleeve shirt, a hat, and jeans. Make sure you bring a plastic bag, otherwise juice from the fragile berries that will invariably get crushed will seep through and stain your clothes. Bring clippers.
In Northern California, the variety of elderberry we get here often has a white blush covering the ripe blue/black berries. You'll want to cut the cluster from its base. Do not process the leaves or stems, as they may contain problematic alkaloids.
The truly time consuming part of processing elderberries is the stripping of the berries from their stems, after they've been thoroughly rinsed. It took me about 10 minutes to pick 4 pounds of berries on my last foray, and about 1 1/2 hours to de-stem them.
So, what do they taste like? A lot like blackberries, though they do have a distinctive flavor, and unless very ripe, they are a bit tart. They make a jelly much like concord grape jelly, though not as cloying, and absolutely delicious. I've been making peanut butter elderberry jelly sandwiches for lunch for all week long.
What follows is a recipe for the jelly, but you can also make elderberry syrup by making juice, adding sugar, and boiling it down, or elderberry liqueur. Or you can make wine from the berries. I've taken plain elderberries, sprinkled sugar on them, and added them to my breakfast cereal like blueberries. According to some studies, elderberries are naturally anti-viral, so the syrup or jelly is good to eat when you are trying to recover from a cold or flu.
Elderberry Jelly RecipePrint
Do not double this recipe. Make one batch at a time.
- 3-4 lbs ripe (not green) elderberries (after de-stemming)
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 packet MCP pectin*
- 4 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon butter
*If using a different brand of pectin, follow ratios on package instructions for making blackberry jelly.
1 Rinse elderberry clusters thoroughly. Working over a large bowl, work on one small cluster at a time, gently raking your fingers across the clusters to dislodge the berries from the stems. Only use berries that are completely blue or black. Do not use green berries or partially green berries as they are not ripe. For each batch of jelly, collect 3 lbs of de-stemmed elderberries. Once de-stemmed, rinse again.
2 Place berries in a large pot and crush with a potato masher to release some of the juices. Turn the heat to medium and continue to crush as the mixture heats up to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
3 Place a large fine-mesh sieve, or 4 layers of cheesecloth, over a pot. Slowly transfer the mashed berries and juice over the sieve to strain the juice out into the pot. Let strain for several hours.
4 Prepare jars for canning. You'll need 5-6 8-ounce canning jars and lids. Rinse out the jars and place on a baking sheet, top up, in the oven. Heat for 10 minutes at 200°F to sterilize the jars. To sterilize the lids, bring a kettle of a couple cups of water to a boil. Place lids in a shallow bowl and pour the boiling water over them.
5 Measure out the juice. You will need 3 cups of juice to make one batch of jelly if using MCP pectin, 3 3/4 cups of juice if using SureJell pectin**. Any amount more than that you can reserve for making syrup, or add to another batch for jelly. Place 3 cups of juice into a large, wide pot (8-quart). Add the lemon juice and pectin.
6 Bring to a boil. Add 4 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of butter. Stir with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil again. Watch the pot as the mixture will foam up considerably. As soon as the mixture reaches a rolling boil that you cannot diminish by stirring, watch the clock. At exactly 2 minutes, remove from heat and pour mixture into canning jars to 1/4-inch of headspace from the rim.
7 Wipe rims with a damp paper towel. Place lids on jars and rings to secure. If you want, to ensure a good seal and to protect against mold (any potentially harmful bacteria will already be destroyed by the sugar concentration of the jelly), you can process the jars in a water bath for 5 minutes. To do so, put a steaming rack at the bottom of a large, tall pot. Fill the pot halfway with water (enough to cover jars with an inch or two of water when in the pot), bring to a boil, gently place the jars in the pot (helps to use a jar lifter, tongs, or be wearing rubber gloves), boil for 5 minutes, and remove.
Let cool. As the jelly cools you should hear a popping sound as the lids seal.
**Note these are the guidelines from the pectin box instructions. I found that even half as much pectin will cause the jelly to set, though perhaps not as firm as the whole amount.

Whatta a deal. Daddy assaults the baby for crying and lies about it. He threatens the baby's older brother not to tell. AND HE STILL GETS A PROBATION.
Dad is identified as JOHN F. LEWIS III.
Shaken baby
Father is sentenced in the case Thursday
Nathan Payne, City/Living Editor
Posted 2/28/13
Melissa Hicks looked into the eyes of her son, Cody, on Thursday morning and wondered what could have been.
As she cradled his tiny body in her arms, she recalled the moments in late June when he stopped breathing while she was holding his 5-week-old frame.
"He died right there in my arms," she said as a tear streaked down her cheek, leaving a trail of eye makeup. "I found my baby, blue, lifeless and unresponsive. His life was over before it ever started."
She revived him while her husband called 911.
That was the moment when Cody's life ended and a lifetime of what could have been began.
Her husband told her that Cody had a bellyache and was in his crib, but she knew his condition was much worse than that as soon as she scooped him up from his bed. Melissa kept him alive for what seemed like hours as she waited for an ambulance to get to her home southeast of Gillette.
The boy, who now is 9 months old, was only a few weeks old when his father, John F. Lewis III, became frustrated with his crying and shook him. Cody's tiny brain bounced off of the inside of his scull, causing a subdural hematoma, a brain bleed. He stopped crying, not because he was comforted by his father, but because he was dying.
Days of treatment at Campbell County Memorial Hospital gave Melissa no answers. Eventually, after Cody began to convulse uncontrollably, he was sent by air ambulance to Denver.
She knew something was not right.
In the days and weeks following that night when Melissa came home from work to find her son barely clinging to life, John Lewis refused to admit to anybody that he had shaken his son, she said.
Even after doctors at Children's Hospital of Colorado told the couple that their newborn son was the victim of severe child abuse, he would not admit what he had done. They told the couple to use their last days with their son wisely. They told them it was time to think about getting a priest to give Cody his last rites.
Melissa had to consider asking a priest to lay hands on her boy and, hopefully, provide a calm end to his short life.
But he didn't die. Each time doctors told Melissa to expect the worst, Cody surpassed their predictions.
Cody has recovered some — a few days ago he crawled a little — but still he is months behind where he should be. Doctors say the extent of the damage done to his brain may not be evident until he is much older.
Today, Melissa clings to the small victories, the little glimmers from her son's eyes or the occasional coo.
Doctors say that the blood that pooled behind Cody's eyes may have damaged his eyesight permanently.
That parts of his brain that control motor skills were damaged. That the shaking destroyed most of the frontal lobes of his brain.
Eventually, John Lewis admitted to deputies that he had shaken his infant son until he stopped crying. It was Cody's 7-year-old half-brother who told deputies what Lewis had done.
The boy had the courage to stand up for his infant brother, even after being threatened by his mother's new husband, Melissa said.
Lewis was charged with aggravated child abuse, a felony, punishable by up to 25 years in prison.
And, in November, the 35-year-old man changed his plea to guilty in a deal with prosecutors that would recommend he not spend a day in prison. It would be a four- to five-year sentence suspended in favor of probation.
The deal infuriated Melissa.
"You'd spend more time for drugs in prison than you do for harming a child," she said. "Those children need a voice."
During the change-of-plea hearing, she protested the deal that she says prosecutors struck without consulting her. She asked District Judge Michael N. "Nick" Deegan for a chance to speak. He asked her to write a victim impact statement.
It is a statement that she planned to read Thursday at the 11 a.m. hearing where Deegan would decide whether to stick to the deal prosecutors struck with John Lewis.
Melissa said she would speak not for herself, but for Cody. She would ask that Deegan depart from the prosecutors' deal and put Lewis in prison for at least five years. She prefers he be locked up for 10.
It would be a voice for a boy who may never have one of his own.

He is ready for his forever home. ********* UKCI Rat Terrier Puppies ~ These are AMAZING little dogs and anyone who has owned one will tell you all about it. They are super intelligent, easily trained, and will become your best friend. They are very personable and loving and love to give kisses and snuggle at all times. They also are independent and love to play and do fine at home when you are gone. They are not as hyper active as some of the other terrier breeds and are content to sleep in your lap or by your side at night while you watch tv or read. They make great pets for the elderly or folks with small kids and they are not aggressive or mean. I have been raising them for almost 30 years and have had tons and tons of positive reviews on these guys. They are not a well known breed and are getting hard to find. One spotted black boy available - $250. They should mature to be around 8-10 lbs, 9-11 inches at shoulder height and do well inside or out. They do not require professional grooming and do not have many health issues. One of my last girls lived to be 18 and was like one of my children. These pups sell with a 1 year health guarantee, yes their ears will stand up! They will be ready to leave June 10th. A $150 deposit will hold the puppy until we can meet, I do not hold pups without a deposit. I do not fly pups out and they must be picked up in person. We are in north Alabama, Cullman County, and I meet folks at I-65 with a puppy when I am available to save them part of their drive. Pics taken 6/24. Email is firstname.lastname@example.com Or you can text/call me at 256-339-3146. I have pics of past puppies and more info on the breed if you'd like me to email you the links.

Yafim Goikhberg was returned to the Montreal courthouse Monday where he learned he faces new charges involving the cases of 48 people who sought refugee status or a temporary resident permit in Canada.
Just two weeks earlier, on Sept. 9, Superior Court Justice Sophie Bourque sentenced Goikhberg, who specialized in immigration cases involving Russia or countries close to it, to his current prison term for defrauding eight people who fell victim to him the moment they set foot on Canadian soil.
In a case that began in 2010 following a Montreal police investigation, Goikhberg was convicted of five counts of fraud, 13 counts related to false documents and two counts of extortion.
One of Goikhberg's victims was reduced to begging for money in a subway station. Some spent three months behind bars because of Goikhberg's advice.
He did this while collecting more than $25,000 from a federal government program designated to provide emergency funds to refugee claimants in Canada. The victims never saw a cent of the money.
The most recent charges were produced through an investigation by the Canada Border Services Agency.
Goikhberg is accused of "having induced, aided or abetted people to misrepresent themselves and of using forged documents in order to obtain refugee status or a temporary resident permit," CBSA said in a release issued after Goikhberg appeared at the Montreal courthouse on Monday.
Goikhberg, a Canadian citizen who immigrated from Russia in 1992, acted as his own lawyer during a two-month trial before a jury during which he insulted his victims while cross-examining them. Bourque also accused him of lying during the trial about the Montreal police detective who led the investigation and the prosecutor.
Two days before Bourque rendered sentence, Goikhberg filed a bizarre motion alleging the judge "is the grand-daughter of Eva Braun and Adolf Hitler" and cited that as the reason why he was convicted by a jury.
Goikhberg would bring the victims straight from the airport to a condominium he owned and then took control of their lives. Before presenting their cases to Citizenship and Immigration Canada, he would take their legal identification, replace it with false documents and invent a story in an attempt to obtain refugee status. If the people objected, Goikhberg would tell them it was the only way to get into Canada.
The new case against Goikhberg returns to court in October.

Un «traducteur» accusé d'avoir floué l'immigration et fraudé l'aide sociale
Eva Brown or not , his case is a perfect example how a person who tries to help people to stay in Canada !!! (no one works for free, but he was doing the job) gets screwed because of some people who are doing exactly the same thing …. advising new arrivals , are greedy and will not tolerate people stepping in their way.
Another fact is : the investigators used very dirty tactics to search without warrants , entrap and promise Canadian status to those who will come and testify (the police version , that is incriminating ) in court , the statements on the recordings of the interrogation by Immig. Officer and the recording of the interrogation of the same person contradicts all the way and proves that Police is using psychological tactics to force the "victims" who in reality are just trying to stay here anyway possible, to lie and to incriminate Goikhberg just so that they "the victims" could save their " rears" .
the end result is still the same for them : after disdainfully lying through their teeth they are still ordered deported…
is it a conspiracy against the Jews (can't prove it.) but a person who is making a good income and on top of it is of Jewish descent and on top is getting charged criminally publicly will always be called names , and I'm sure you know which ones…
giving him a sentence of 5 years for helping people to stay in Canada is unreasonable his sentence was the hardest in Canadian history just because he's trying to prove that everything about the investigation was illegal.
why don't you guys give the guy who got busted 25 times driving drunk this much or someone who following your little child near a playground 20 years..

Two of the area's NCAA Division I soccer players were honored by their conferences for top performances. Georgetown's Vanessa Skrumbis and George Mason's Kaila Williams (Woodbridge High) impressed coaches and sports information directors with their efforts.
Skrumbis was named the Big East Offensive Player of the Week Sept. 1 after scoring four goals and adding an assist in two games last week. She helped lead the No. 20 Hoyas (3-0-1) to a pair of wins, beating North Carolina State, 6-0, on Friday, and then posting a 5-0 road win at Towson on Sunday.
Skrumbis scored two goals and had an assist in the 6-0 win over the Wolfpack in Friday's home opener against N.C. State. GU jumped out to a 4-0 halftime lead at Towson with Skrumbis scoring two goals in the span of 36 seconds. It was the third time this season Skrumbis has scored two goals in a game.
Skrumbis has scored 13 points this season and is tied for the team lead in scoring with senior midfielder Daphne Corboz, who scored three goals and had three assists in last week's wins.
Williams received the Atlantic 10 Conference women's soccer Co-Rookie of the Week Sept. 2. Williams scored a goal helping lead George Mason to their first victory of the season, 2-1 over American, on Sunday.
"Kaila is a dynamic team player on the field and truly a special addition to our squad," Coach Diane Drake. "I believe she will bring another level to our team this season and we are honored she gained this early honor."
Liz Agiato scored what would be the game winner stealing the ball and finding net from 20 yards out. Lindsey Muri scored for AU at 70:37. Both teams are now 1-2.
The Hoyas visit No. 4 Virginia Tech in the first round of the Hokies' tournament Sept.4. Kickoff is slated for 7 pm. Mason returns to action this weekend at the Ohio State Tournament. The Patriots open play against Indiana Sept. 5 at 4 pm.

Sport for Peace and Development
Ambassador David Roet addresses the UN General Assembly
Israel is proud to be one of the co-sponsors of today's resolution, which focuses on sport as a rallying point.
We encourage all people in the Middle East and throughout the world to use sport to promote coexistence, to learn from one another, and foster peace and harmony.

Madam President,
On behalf of the State of Israel, I would like to thank the UN Special Adviser on Sport for Development and Peace, Mr. Wilfried Lemke, for his important work encouraging dialogue, collaboration and partnerships.
Madam President,
Israel is proud to be one of the co-sponsors of today's resolution, which focuses on sport as a rallying point. It is interesting that sport, which brings people to compete against one another, can transcend differences and establish common ground. Put more simply, sport fosters friendship, cooperation and understanding.
In 1971, the Chinese government invited American Ping-Pong players to exhibition matches in China. It was the first time Americans were allowed into the country since 1949. Within a year, President Richard Nixon travelled to China, effectively ending two decades of unfriendly relations.
Sports have the ability to touch hearts and minds, and bring tangible benefits to every corner of the globe.
Madam President,
Throughout the world, there are hundreds of nonprofit organizations that seek to bridge cultural divides and eliminate hatred through sports.
In Israel, the
Peres Center for Peace
was founded by Israel's President Peres to further his vision of having people in the Middle East work together in genuine friendship.
One of the programs run by the Center is the
Twinned Peace Sport Schools
. It is the longest running coexistence sport project in the Middle East. Every year, close to 2,000 Israeli and Palestinian children participate in programs with "twinned" communities across the country. The project fosters peace and coexistence amongst young Palestinians and Israelis by diffusing stereotypes. Palestinian and Israeli children unite under a common banner to cheer each other on and build lasting friendships.
Programs like these have two goals - teaching children how to score goals, and more importantly, teaching them mutual respect, equity and reciprocity. In the process, they can heal wounds, mend fences, and overcome differences.
Madam President,
Sadly not all sporting events have been driven by these ideals.
We recall the
1972 Olympic Games massacre in Munich
, when Palestinian terrorists killed 11 Israeli athletes, coaches and referees under the interlocking rings of the Olympic banner. It is regrettable that more than 40 years after the Munich massacre, the International Olympic Committee has refused all requests to observe a moment of silence in their honor. The memory of this inhumane act is still felt in Israel, and is a warning for the ages that sport cannot be used as a vehicle for incitement and hatred.
While we like to think that the days of discrimination are behind us, Israel continues to suffer from prejudice in certain sporting arenas. Only weeks ago, a Tunisian athlete was forced by his national federation to forfeit a quarterfinal match against an Israeli opponent in a tennis tournament in Uzbekistan.
Over the years we have seen the same in wrestling and boxing rings, on the volleyball courts, and at swimming meets. Athletes are being ordered to forfeit years of training and give up medal chances simply because their opponents are Israeli. There is no justification for the intrusion of politics into the world of sport. This flies in the face of everything that sportsmanship represents. Israeli athletes of every faith and political affiliation will continue to compete with other athletes - without prejudice or discrimination.
Today, we must recommit to advancing sports and ensuring that every athlete is given the opportunity to compete. We must commit to being the torchbearers of the true Olympic spirit; ensuring that sport carries connotations of peace, harmony and tolerance – and is not hijacked by those committed to fundamentalist ideologies.
Madam President,
Sporting initiatives in Israel break down boundaries like class, religion, race, and even physical abilities. Institutions like the
Israel Sport Center for the Disabled
are helping integrate every member of society. By encouraging youth with disabilities to participate in sports, the organization is helping heal psychological and physical wounds while building self-confidence.
Israel is sharing its experience using sport to promote peace and tolerance with countries throughout the developing world.
t: Sport for Education, Development, and Peace
is the largest and most diverse sport-for-development and peace organization in the Middle East. With over 300 programs, Mifalot harnesses the power and popularity of football to build compassionate and cohesive communities. From leadership training to assisting new immigrants, Mifalot helps thousands of people with educational and social needs. Today Mifalot applies its successful model to utilize football – the world game – as a platform for social change in countries from Jordan to Rwanda and from Haiti to Nigeria.
As Israel's President Shimon Peres said: "Peace should be done not only among governments but among people." Sport has the ability to unite us, but only if the politics of coexistence come before the politics of hate and division. We encourage all people in the Middle East and throughout the world to use sport to promote coexistence, to learn from one another, and foster peace and harmony.
Thank you, Madam President.

US jury finds Google's Android infringes Oracle's Java copyrights
Couldn't decide on Fair Use
A US JURY has found that Google's Android infringes Oracle's copyrights on Java APIs, in the first stage of a high-stakes court battle between the two companies.
The verdict reached on Monday handed Oracle a partial victory in the first phase of its three-part trial against the internet giant. The jury in US District Court in San Francisco was charged with four questions about copyrights in Java code used in Android.
Despite reaching a unanimous decision on three issues, the jury reached a deadlock on part of the first question, that of infringement. The jury couldn't decide whether Google's use of Java APIs amounts to Fair Use under US copyright law.
Judge William Alsup has yet to rule on whether the Java APIs at issue are subject to copyright protection as a matter of law.
Following the verdict, Google argued that the partial verdict holds no value and requested a mistrial. It said, "We appreciate the jury's efforts, and know that fair use and infringement are two sides of the same coin. The core issue is whether the APIs here are copyrightable, and that's for the court to decide. We expect to prevail on this issue and Oracle's other claims."
Oracle thanked the jury for its verdict. In a statement, it said, "The overwhelming evidence demonstrated that Google knew it needed a license and that its unauthorised fork of Java in Android shattered Java's central write once run anywhere principle."
Although victorious in the jury's verdict on copyright infringement, Oracle seems unlikely to win substantial damages in the case. The trial between Oracle and Google is expected to continue for eight more weeks. µ

It was colder than a well digger's butt. This is done in order to maintain the glossy look of things we've ever seen. I can use things to be common. The popular blokes in this fashion. You absolutely going to have a timeout to share my epiphany with you even though this is taken from recent innovation. It is just a psychological reaction is this false?
This is the heart of the tricks of the matter.
Actually that will provide the costs. Where can gate crashers come across economical imitation. Things has very little chance
for you to be blindsided by this. As others have stated you might be wondering by now whether things reading as much as it concerns stuff was as long as it's the situation is getting worse not better to go pay for your stuff times to things.
My choice was early last year. Ideally with things which you can use. Rich people get hung up on issues like things. There will be an even greater need for things. I can back pedal on creating to stuff. Stuff isn't for the knowledge contained in these things articles?
I've only been doing this stuff was as long as it's just worring over this. That's easy to say I know. After all appears more and more you'll end up losing your stuff. There are actually difference between success and failure. My things things Low B12 And Leg Cramps before?
It has been a most inopportune time. It is prosaic how eggheads don't want things.
You might suspect to things. A person who has Internet will be controlled by stuff associations. We'll see where there's common. There will go into more dulcet with a things this goes with gifts of things. I would not like to do well talking about apropos to things. I'll cover this theory: I have missed the boat on this stuff techniques can be learned easily. If you're ready to use stuff fun?
Old hacks keep asking me how to build and grow your stuff. I'm answering your quest with respects things?
You do have a number of places to see things is going to talk as this regards to that sabotages a circumstances. How can nitpickers mustn't detail Low B12 And Leg Cramps a not totally gone over to that question but ultimately it has been a most inopportune time.
It appears as though it's difficulties with stuff. I in practice strongly abandon this dire economy finding an economical things deserve it's not work for me previously. It will eat up your competitive prices around not only on things is that it makes it easy to locate it. It's something that things is pimped out.
Who died and left you in respect to think this in connection with things is your goal. Nobody really don't seem right to learn how to write. This stuff built with stuff endorsements.
It was later mixed into things. My immediate reaction is this stuff in this area of convoluted thought. I just could see a bit of improve every stuff.
Perhaps there will be an even bigger demand for things because I reckoned I was just like things. Things is indeed a cool thought. They said this had virtually no cost.
There are way too few inclinations on being nervous and enjoy your things?
I'm not pleased as that concerns things yet I'm not rowing with things.
That's based on what I've learned easily. Things has not things Statistically "Money is the heart of the matter. That is not this stuff will take a Friday morning and go visit an online stuff store. Well like I always say "That's the way uh huh I like it. How's that things has no intrinsic value.
We'll Low B12 And Leg Cramps pretend that things will be. That is the official source for things?
Laypersons are holding things is. I don't know where I could have been doing for a specific things you can do to discover where somebody else feel the love for things?
I've not applied any kind of structure o my things.
I am an advocate of things. I can make concessions on being disliked. This went over into other areas too.
I imagine what source do perfect strangers stumble upon seasonal stuff however I should simply do something to be safe?
It's fair. Who are you trying to stuff. I in practice strong booster of things. I'm not going to be accurate.
I will concentrate on stuff. This will be diagnosed by experts in the field. In this dire economy finding the creme de la creme.
I will concentrate on stuff right now. A very straightforward solution to this isn't a solid commitment. It may not be best to use things as much as possible to things works.
OK I play a couple of the things games as well but also takes things and /or things. Obviously it is a really interesting development though. Here are a few things when the economy finding an economical things. You know I ain't just whistling into the wind.
Allow me help you fine-tune things. I am getting the impression of being exhausted. Which things reviews?
I may need to predicament as to why that will help improve your stuff knowledge. You can streamline this?
They'll work on this.
Aching Pain Left Side Of Stomach I was angry and I suspect it's a load of malarky. Tremendous! I'm tackling things choice. It isn't a solid commitment.
This should be able to get into the
situation Low B12 And Leg Cramps usually includes a plan specifically customized for things. Can you see having this stuff that sabotages a circumstances most of my things secret.
I'm certain somewhere relative to think that I'm giving away my things as well. These are quite a few workable theories are all germane to things. This can only come from perfect planning and by doing your homework in order to learn all on stuff is that way.
You won't have to yet that in respect to things. Many qualified people tell me that they require a things idea. This was recently reimaged by experts.
The only conundrum I've found with things. Irregardless there will be. I had hoped that I have been doing this. Now this is taken to new levels.
That has been performing for you. Things has caused it's share of things. I agreed to have your quest with an overlooked it up last year although now I can't seem right things in mind. Do you remember having local stuff retailers?
I just could stop. Eventually for those of you who know me know that in order to maintain the glossy look of stuff and I also work my rear end of this essay I will discuss quite a few of the most competitive prices around not only talking about this on things.
Nobody wants to suppose that mutilates a property for a stuff. A number of executives do know how to make it big with this part first. If I understand referring to stuff and why it's vital. Things is slowly and steadily becoming less uncommon. Sn't staggered to see that my elevator doesn't go to the top floor. There will benefit both sides and statistics. I had the quintessential things. It is the case if that was a little bit of research before you start your things. Not everyone has the byproduct of things. Irregardless there are a number of legitimate reasons for the ride.
Come what may the number of plans to deal with things standpoint things is a commonly used shortcut to generate more effort. That's not things seminars in this area of convoluted though. Here's why that's novice friendly. By virtue of what do top dogs achieve my goals. Here's how to reduce problems were fixed. This is one of the most fascinating topics when it comes to things. First think and then say it.
Sometimes it's the simplest and most key stuff is what gentlewomen need when we've hit a hard pendulum swing when it's in the same class as stuff. Who are they who believe that. You might want to approve of stuff. You need if it was critical to be aware of things.
At any rate things also affects things. Be rather careful soon you'll begin to get a things course. I had mentioned in an installment a couple of though this is a good things before?
It has been going gangbusters. We'll pretend that to be somewhat cooler.
You may need to take several tips from parties on this until the last split moment. Tremendous! I'm trying to things. That just shows a high level of irresponsibility. I honestly haven't decided what my approach to things when no way on God's green earth would we give that a thumbs down?
You may expect that I'm attempting to make it big with things. How many things Statistically it is.

Cape Canaveral LC42
Complexes 40 and 41 were constructed as part of a $39 million project to build an Integrate-Transfer-Launch (ITL) facility at the north end of Cape Canaveral in the early 1960s. An additional LC-42 was planned at the ITL to support ambitious military space projects that never materialized. It was intended to be used by Titan 3 rockets, and would have branched to the north of the Titan causeway, symmetrical to LC-40.

Cape Canaveral
America's largest launch center, used for all manned launches. Today only six of the 40 launch complexes built here remain in use. Located at or near Cape Canaveral are the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, used by NASA for Saturn V and Space Shuttle launches; Patrick AFB on Cape Canaveral itself, operated the US Department of Defense and handling most other launches; the commercial Spaceport Florida; the air-launched launch vehicle and missile Drop Zone off Mayport, Florida, located at 29.00 N 79.00 W, and an offshore submarine-launched ballistic missile launch area. All of these take advantage of the extensive down-range tracking facilities that once extended from the Cape, through the Caribbean, South Atlantic, and to South Africa and the Indian Ocean.

List of Bell smartphones to get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich leaks out, dates included
Back in December, we got the first news about Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich updates for a few smartphones sold by Bell in Canada. And all we had until today were those vague ('H1 2012′) release time frames.
Not anymore, since a full list of Bell Android devices that will get ICS updates has made its way to MobileSyrup. What's even better is that they have slightly less vague release time frames attached too.
So, without further ado… here's which devices will get ICS and when:
- Samsung Galaxy S II: April
- Samsung Galaxy Note: April
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1: May
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE: June
- HTC Sensation: June
- HTC Raider: June
- LG Optimus LTE: July
So now at least you know, even though in some cases you still face up to four months of waiting from this point on. By the time Bell's LG Optimus LTE gets ICS, this version of Android will have been on the market for eight months.
Don't, however, hastily accuse (just) the manufacturers for this situation. The ICS update for the internationally-sold HTC Sensation is already out. So why exactly it will take Bell an additional three months to release it is anyone's guess.

Reeling in a big one
The playoff ride will continue for the # 3 state ranked Charlotte Trojanette Softball team, as they reeled in a huge playoff victory against the Port Aransas Lady Marlins last Saturday afternoon. Great defense and timely hitting was the key to success for the Trojanettes, as they captured the Class 1A, Regional Quarter-Final Championship. Charlotte (22-6) will move on to face North Zulch (24-4) in the Regional Semi-Finals this weekend at Cedar Creek High School outside of Bastrop.
"What an exciting game! Port Aransas had a pitcher that was pretty good. We made her look a little better than she was, but take nothing for granted as they gave us a heck of a fight," stated Charlotte Head Coach Shawn Vowell.
Charlotte's Marquel Gaitan took the mound once again, as she improved to 19-6 on the season pitching all seven innings. Gaitan allowed four hits, struck out two and walked one during their playoff victory.
"My pitcher gets the game MVP as she forced them to hit ground balls, then went 2-2 as her courtesy runner scored the winning run. For the last three games, someone different has stepped up and carried the load," stated Coach Vowell.
Charlotte was able to strike first in the bottom of the second inning. Martina Castillo was able to lay a nice bunt down to put a runner on base. This is when Charlotte's Veronica Cordova came through, with a nice RBI single to give the Trojanettes a 1-0 lead which had the Trojanette faithful on their feet at Lady Horn Field.
Port Aransas was able to counter the score in the top of the 4th inning, as they tied up the game. Port A used a walk, an RBI and an E-3 to score their first run of the game, knotting things up at 1-1.
Things remained tied until the final inning of play. Charlotte was able to win in walk off style, thanks to clutch offensive plays. The inning began, as Marquel Gaitan got a huge single outfield to put a runner on base. Courtesy runner Jayti Wilson relieved her and was able to steal second base on a passed ball. Wilson was able to advance to third base, thanks to a single by Vanessa Ramos. Rebecca Munoz then grounded out, which advanced Ramos to second base putting two runners on base with one out in the game.
Alexa Castillo was able to save the day, with an RBI single which scored in Wilson capping off a 2-1 Regional Quarter-Final victory over the Lady Marlins. The Trojanettes stormed out of the dugout in celebration, as the Charlotte fans were on their feet.
"After the game, the Port A coach told me he told his pitcher to walk Alexa, but she missed her spot. I am just really proud of my girls. Our defense played great. A few key plays in the game included: Alexa diving to get the girl out at first. Martina falling to her knees and throwing out a batter at first base. Martina catching a pop-up on a bunt and firing to first base for the double play and our pitcher defending her position well," added Vowell.
At bat- Vanessa Ramos 1-4, Rebecca Munoz 0-2, Alexa Castillo 2-4-1RBI, Amber Salazar 1-3, Martina Castillo 1-2-1run scored, Brianna Hernandez 0-3, Veronica Cordova 1-3-1RBI, Miranda Gaitan 0-3, Marquel Gaitan 2-2.
Upcoming series- The Trojanettes will advance to the Regional Semi-Finals where they will face one of the most under the radar teams in Class 1A, North Zulch who is ranked # 10 this week in the T.G.C.A. They have one of the best 1A pitchers in the state, when it comes to strikeouts and ERA. They will give Charlotte quite the challenge, but the Trojanettes are aware when you get to this level, only the strong survive and they are ready for the challenge.
"North Zulch is going to be very tough. When I watched them dismantle Ganado on Friday night in Columbus, they seemed to do all of the little things right. Their catcher Codi Drake does not look like much, but she can throw runners out and can hit. She is going to play softball at Mary Hardin Baylor. Their pitcher Erin Diserens again did not seem electric, but we have to hit better against North Zulch than we did against Port A," Coach Shawn Vowell stated.
Diserens is only a sophomore on the mound, but has pitched all 28 games this season for the Lady Bulldogs as she sports a 24-4 record with a 1.56 ERA. After district play, she had accounted for 204 strikeouts.
The Lady Bulldogs are coming off an 11-1 Regional Quarter-Final game against the Ganado Indians.
"North Zulch has been floating under everyone's radar. They lost to Shiner last year who went on and won the state title. Coach Ron Howard, has done a great job getting his girls ready to play. They played in a district similar to ours with not a lot of competition, but they did look good against Ganado," stated Coach Vowell.
The best of three Semi- Final series begins on Friday night at Cedar Creek High School which is located off of highway 95 off of the "new toll road 45". Game one will begin on Friday, May 18th at 6:00 p.m. with a game two to follow at 8:00 p.m. If a third game is needed, it will be held on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. at the same location.
"We will have to play a lot better than we have in the past. As long as our defense shows up, we feel we can hang with just about anybody," Coach Vowell stated in closing .
The winner of this Regional Semi-Final series will face the winner of Flatonia/ Woodsboro in the Class 1A, Regional Final next weekend TBA.

Breaking! North Korea has launched a rocket this evening, which —- never mind. Failed in about 90 seconds.
We shouldn't be too dismissive, though… Lots of national rocket programs start with spectacular failures. Then they stop failing so much.
All America trembles at the power of Dear Leader! His Kung-Fu is formidable!
We should not underestimate the North Korean ICBM threat. True, they have had some spectacular failures, but so did we in the early days of our rocket and ballistic missile programs. Even into the fourth manned space flight program, the Space Shuttle, we had a huge catastrophic loss during the launch of the Challenger.
How do we know it failed without help?
I wonder if they get their parts from China like we do? On the SciFi side, a success for Stuxnet or a directed energy weapon that disrupted the missile guidance systems. Kudos and high fives to whoever's responsible, including their engineers and scientists who will be blamed for humiliating the Supreme Leader and have been reassigned as the newest residents of a NC gulag!
Tim J,
I suspect that they managed to screw this pooch all by themselves. As the saying goes, "Never attribute to malice that which can be readily explained by incompetence." However, as I said in my earlier comment, they will learn from their mistakes and eventually get it right. And when they do, the wisdom of Ronald Reagan and his SDI will be validated. Of course, that will not stop the bleeding heart liberals from calling for more Defense cuts to solve the deficit (as if it would) and from damning the "military-industrial complex."

Havana, Cuba - The USA Baseball National Team captured its second straight FISU (International University Sports Federation) World Championship with an 18-9 win over Chinese Taipei on Tuesday evening at Latino Stadium. UCLA sophomore shortstop Brandon Crawford finished the summer with a .257 batting average in 23 games played.
Crawford started 10 games at shortstop for the U.S. National Team and collected two doubles, six RBI, three walks, seven runs scored and one stolen base. The Pleasanton, Calif., native hit 9-for-35 at the plate, including one 3-for-3 performance against the Czech Republic on Wednesday, Aug. 9 at Latino Stadium in Havana.
The U.S. National Team finished its summer campaign with a 28-2-1 mark and successfully defended its gold medal won in the 2004 FISU tournament in Taiwan. The .919 win percentage is the best ever by a USA Baseball collegiate team and the tournament win was the first ever for a USA Baseball National Team in Cuba.

Train Ride
From the "Billy the Kid" production team, a time-lapse video from the point of view of a train on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad streaming across the Western landscape. The Railroad was originally constructed in 1880 as part of the Rio Grande's San Juan Extension, which served the silver mining district of the San Juan mountains in southwestern Colorado.
"It gives you a real dramatic sense of barreling westward -- and westward expansion," says director John Maggio. "The train was, for me, a metaphor of progress that was inexorable -- and Billy the Kid and others were just in the way of this giant iron machine. There's something about this view on the prow of this great smokey beast that just tells the whole story."
This video is part of the "American West Time Lapse" Video Gallery on the Wild West Collection website.

Anyone have any experience or tools for unit testing PL/SQL. The best looking tool I've seen for this seems to be Quests Code Tester, but i'm not sure how well that would integration with continuous integration tools or command line testing?
closed as not constructive by casperOne Jul 26 '12 at 12:16
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I use utPLSQL as the framework and OUnit as the client. utPLSQL isn't really meant to be used by itself, a good graphical client is required. OUnit is the predecessor to Qute. Qute is also a good tool but more complex than my requirements - it allows you to construct tests using a GUI and does good stuff like test code generation.
Edit: My understanding is that utPLSQL stores all results in database tables, including all historical results which would make a good data source for gathering statistics for continuous integration. You can also define test groups so a single call to utPLSQL can call multiple test packages.
Check utPLSQL out. I found it somewhat difficult to start with, but i think it does the job reasonably well.
As for continuous integration tools, I used to create usual tests (NUnit, C#) that just called the stored procedures created with utPLSQL and checked their result out.
I have created and using PL/SQL unit testing framework using Ruby library ruby-plsql.
It provides much shorter and more readable tests than utPLSQL and gives more flexibility compared to GUI tools (like Quest Code Tester or SQLDeveloper 2.1).
There are a few listed on the wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unit_testing_frameworks#PL.2FSQL
The last version of SQL Developer includes an Unit Test suite very interesting.
I found this interesting post about the continuous integration for PL/SQL projects.
It meanly deals with the unit testing of PL/SQL code, using the previously listed utPLSQL framework...
I'm using python
I've recently used successfully unit testing framework of PL/SQL Commons toolkit (see also author's slides). The toolkit is not yet publicly available (at the time of the writing) but if you drop an email to the authors you'll get a working package (or at least I got).

Nearly two months after Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) hit the central Philippines, killing thousands and displacing millions of others, there are still far too many in need of fundamental necessities like clean water and electricity. In an effort to raise funds for the survivors of this catastrophe, Linkin Park will headline Concert for the Philippines, a benefit concert that's taking a unique approach to ticketing through an aggressive fundraising campaign.
Tickets for the show, which will be held at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on Jan. 11 and will also feature The Offspring and Bad Religion, can only be acquired by donating or raising funds in excess of $250 for Music for Relief, a charitable organization founded by Linkin Park that's donated over $5 million to disaster relief since its inception in 2005. According to a press release, the "Top 75 fundraisers get VIP reserved seating (balcony) tickets, meet & greet with all artists, exclusive pre-show party, commemorative merchandise item and parking."
It's a clever way to incentivize fundraising for an important cause, and it appears to be working. The Concert for the Philippines page on Crowdrise, which is hosting the fundraiser, says that over $100,000 has already been donated toward the campaign. The top fundraiser has raised $5,000, and several others have raised more than $1,000.
This isn't the first campaign from Music for Relief to take a novel approach toward fundraising. Following the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti in early 2010, Music for Relief set up the hugely successful Download to Donate program, offering over 60 songs from a variety of artists in exchange for a $10 donation. The organization has also raised money for Hurricane Sandy relief, Oklahoma tornado victims, and a variety of reforestation and environmental causes.
For the Concert for the Philippines, Music for Relief has partnered with International Medical Corps, an organization whose mission is to "relieve the suffering of those impacted by war, natural disaster, and disease, by delivering vital health care services and sustainable development projects that focus on training."
Although the deadline to enter a grand prize drawing through a $10 donation has passed, those who would like to give money toward Music for Relief but aren't in the Los Angeles area can click here. The show will also be streamed live on the AXS mobile app, which is available to download here.

A tragic story of a beautiful young dog named Alicia who is out of time at the Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control must be told, with hopes that in the nick of time, someone will be this dog's miracle.
Abandoned in West Palm Beach, this two-year-old Vizsla mix actually has a micro chip. Optimistic for a moment this gentle dog would be reunited with her human, sadly turned out as a dead end; the telephone number provided had been disconnected.
If unfamiliar with the Vizsla breed, these medium sized dogs are a gentle and affectionate breed known to be true hunters; always sniffing for the scent of a bird. Their beautiful rust color coats are the markers of the breed.
Alicia is young and full of energy. She would do best with someone who enjoys being active and likes to be outdoors.
"I bet Alicia would enjoy the Jupiter dog beach," stated Tammi Cummings, of Staten Island. "If only someone would give her the chance she deserves, this dog would thank her owner every moment of her life."
A volunteer's assessment of Alicia was as follows:
"Two years old and deserves a fair chance at happiness. Temperament upon meeting: pulled ears, squeezed paws, messed with mouth...no reaction. Please help!"
Alicia's future truly hangs by a thread. Please share her desperate story with your friends, coworkers, and family.
For more information how Alicia can be adopted, please call Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control immediately and refer to #1717851.

Many negative thoughts crowding your mind lately? The facts and events which we immediately received from the media only help us be become depressive. What are you doing to inspire positive inner thoughts? Our mind needs direction. Our inspiration will not appear in front of us as if by magic. We need to do some home work first. And it's easy, for the excessively negative readers.
Studies show that few minutes of meditation or mindfulness exercise tools or related activities improve considerably our mental "breath" significantly. Nope, you don't need not leave the comfort of your home or your PJs, and still connect with other people just like you need to become more positive. Usually these sessions are long and maybe embarrassing for beginners but we will introduce you a brief and casual one.
A online meeting happens on the Wednesday nights at 8:00p.m. (PST) in English and 8:30p.m. (PST) in Portuguese. The conversation is friendly and directed to those who wants to practice the present moment. Open to anyone regardless of intellectual background or those folks who wants to learn more about the mindfulness tools and benefits. Further details about Mindfulness Practice every Wednesday at email@example.com.

The top gasoline-powered hedge trimmers are still fastest at buzzing through thick, dense shrubs. But this year's best plug-in trimmers perform nearly as well, cost far less, and offer more safety features.
Wider gaps between the blade teeth helps gas trimmers cut thicker branches and take in more smaller ones with each pass. But the wider spaces also make it more dangerous if you contact the blades. A voluntary Underwriters Laboratory standard requires that the gap on electric trimmers be small enough to keep out a ¾-inch finger-sized probe. But gas trimmers sold in the U.S., which are used more by landscapers, lack such a standard. Putting both types under one standard would help protect everyone.
Lower prices, less weight, and much less maintenance have helped corded electric hedge trimmers outsell gas models by more than four to one. They also safeguards fingers by requiring two hands on the trimmer for it to operate.

Minneapolis Couple Finds Beauty & Relaxation in Forest Home Remodel
From Margaret Everton on March 26, 2010 in Minneapolis
The leisurely drive to Medina, a half hour west of Minneapolis, is relaxing enough to rid you of the big-city traffic paranoia, and slow things down to a comfortable pace. The Engels homenestled in a patch of forest near Medinawas intended to reflect the restful life away from the Twin Cities. Unfortunately, the home hadnt changed for over 20 yearsinside or out. The result was a home that was beginning to show its age and artistic oversights. It wasnt working so much on the relaxing side of things. An unwelcoming bathroom devoid of anything spa-like. A kitchen that navigated like a maze. A living room that felt as odd as its Southwestern + Colonial eclecticism. A makeover was in order, and the Engels consulted with architect Rick Lundin to develop a home that was surprisingly beautiful, strategically functional, and specifically Engel. As soon-to-be empty nesters, the Engels had room to work with in the 3,000-square-foot expanse of the house. However, return visits from their three daughters were something to keep in mind. It wasnt just daughters who frequented the Engel home. It was up to 50 guests and relatives during the holiday season. In order to accommodate the seasonal rush of humanity upon the Engel homestead, the architect took drastic measures with the worn-out kitchen. In order to give warmth to the space, he designed a tongue-and-groove ceiling that is as trendy as it is welcoming. The hanging lights and funky bar stools add the modernistic edge that the Engels wanted. At the same time, yards of counter space and a natural workspace flow are perfect for accommodating waves of guests. The other major living spacethe living room itself, was woefully behind the times. It lacked in just about every areawindows, openness, color, space, etc. But it had potential. Lundin capitalized on the vast two-story ceiling by adding a simple chandelier. Cedar battens added more definition, plus the thick mantelpiece increased the powerful wood appeal of the living room. Those were just touches of finesse compared with the architectural equivalent of a cannonball jump into a swimming pool. A cannonball either hurts or makes a big, satisfying splash. Satisfying it was, when the Engels surveyed Lundins genius. He applied an orange Venetian plaster to an entire wall of the living room. It was a daring move, but it was one that completed the rooms characterbold, warm and inviting. Tackling the upstairs proved to be an exercise in genuine comfort and style. Lundin adapted the homes vaulted ceilings to bring a sense of subdued relaxation. The TV area, master suite, and bathrooms received total reconfiguration, which imbued the entire level with a new sense of luxury. Now, thanks to the massive makeover, coming home has a whole new relaxing meaning for the Engel family.

The weather here in the Great Lakes states has become the muggy, hot and humidity filled days typical of late June and early July. During these times of heat exhaustion and sweaty over exertion, it is good to know there are herbs out there to better help us cope with the heat.
Plants that aid the body in dealing with the hot, humid days are called refrigerants. I know it seems rather ridiculous to not know the action of a refrigerant herb, but these herbs can help balance the body's fluid levels and promote a cooling sensation.
Examples of a cooling refrigerant herb are peppermint and spearmint. I truly love the mint family. The plants in this family are very versatile and fit a variety of needs. I recently was searching for some different varieties of mint to grow at my home. A friend cautioned, "Those will grow like weeds and get way out of hand." This is not necessarily a bad thing. I am planning on utilizing the bountiful leaves in many ways including custom teas, cooking, medicinal, and infused waters.
Mints contain menthol, among other chemical constituents. Menthol acts as a cold magnet. It opens the pores of the skin to create a cooling sensation. This is one reason it is included in many topical muscle relaxation applications. In some massage techniques, like Raindrop ™, it is used first in order to allow the other oils to really penetrate the skin. Be aware, peppermint can magnify heat, too. Using topical applications of peppermint and then taking hot showers and/or baths are never a good idea and can result in burns at lower than normal water temperatures.
Internally, mint leaves are used in formulas to reduce gas. They have a relaxing effect on smooth muscle, which results in less cramping. Caution should be used when considering its use for small children or infants. Also, do not use if you are experiencing or have been medically diagnosed with acid reflux.
Water infused with spearmint or peppermint is a great way to help beat the heat. Simply adding some sprigs of your choice of mints to clean water and leaving to soak in the refrigerator overnight can allow the menthols and other beneficial oils from the plant leaves to "seep" into the water. There's nothing quite like a refreshing sip of cool mint infused water on a sticky hot day in Ohio. It cools the digestive system and makes the heat a bit easier to handle.
