Vt. methadone clinic faces another possible delayThe Associated Press | December 30,2012SOUTH BURLINGTON A proposed a methadone clinic near schools in South Burlington is facing another possible delay.
The South Burlington Development Review Board will be asked at its meeting Wednesday to hold another hearing based on claims that a board member had an improper private communication about the case.
If the hearing is granted, that could push back a decision on whether the clinic can open by at least 15 days or longer.
The request to reopen the hearing alleges an ex parte communication took place, said South Burlington Zoning Administrator Ray Belair. He said he had no other information on the request and referred questions to planning and zoning director Paul Conner, who was out of town and could not be reached for comment, the Burlington Free Press reported.
The clinic was at first approved and then appealed by the South Burlington School District, which argued that the facility for heroin and Oxycodone addicts could bring crime and traffic to the proposed site near the citys high school and middle school.
The board had until Jan. 4 to issue a written decision on the appeal.
But if the hearing is reopened, the board would have to warn of a hearing with 15 days notice and could continue the meeting indefinitely.
Once the meeting is closed, the board would have 45 days to issue a decision.
The HowardCenter, a Burlington nonprofit agency, has proposed opening the new clinic on Dorset Street, to serve about 650 clients. It would close two smaller clinics in Burlington and South Burlington. The proposed site is about 500 feet from Frederick Tuttle Middle School and 1,000 feet from South Burlington High School.
HowardCenter, which hoped to open the clinic this year, has threatened to sue the city under federal anti-discrimination law.
It also unsuccessfully sought to dismiss the school district appeal.MORE IN This Just InPolice said a Rutland man knocked out another mans teeth. Full StoryWEST PAWLET Pancake-breakfast fundraiser season will kick off Sept. 11. Full StoryOmya is hosting an educational tour at a Middlebury quarry.

Dear stephen.jaques,
Having read all of your posts and the very witty replies I beg you 'Stevo the Monkey Boy,' keep it up. With a minimalist homoerectusesque grasp of speech and grammar you have the potential to amuse us for sometime to come. Come on you little, hairy, knuckle dragging wit, let us have some more entertainment.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I don't know whay anybody gets wound up by the postings of SJ. Some of them are good crack and get a lot of bites. From his scribblings I do however
suspect that Stephen Jaques is a frustrated Sado Masochistic homosexual- and I base this on purely scientific evidence of him being a sunderland supporter who
(a) always has to come from behind
(b) takes regular beatings

Have any of you good people thought to ask yourselves as to why Stephen feels he needs to invade someone elses chat board? Is it because he has been rejected by his own kind, like so many of those numerous poor defenceless animals found in the jungle, rejected by the mother because they are weak & defenceless & have nothing to offer, but are in fact a liability & simply threaten those around them by draining valuable time, energy & resources? Ah, mother nature can be a cruel master! Perhaps Stephen hopes that he may find a surrogate Mag to take him under his wing, teach him about what being a true football supporter is about, loyalty to ones club & of course those missing social skills so badly needed to live in a society of 'normal' people where people are able to converse intelligently! Lets not be too hard on the guy, we should feel sorry for him, its not his fault he's a mackem, clearly this has been bred into him from an early age, probably handed down to him through his genes. Be kind to him & hopefully if he is unable to see the errors of his ways and repent, he will return to his freak of nature mackem family never to return & bother us with his aimless drivvle & idiotic rantings!!!
Repent now while you have a chance Stephen or return to the mackems, perhaps they will open up their arms to you & let you back into the fold, or like the ape family beat you senseless, worth the risk I think!

You really are a complete head case, let me guess your one of the inbreads (ask someone what that means stephen) that has lost the plot over in wearside. Having read all of your entertaining posts and all the witty replies, which I'm guessing you couldn't understand, its clear that you really are a stereotype of anything and evrything in Sunderland.
Since it is a football forum let me just say that yes our team is awful at the moment but atleast we can manage average mid table displays unlike yourselves. Finnaly have a nice trip Brighton next season

Genentech: Survivor Strutting Its Stuff
By LAWRENCE M. FISHER
Published: October 1, 2000
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.— WHEN Genentech Inc. was founded here nearly 25 years ago, it created a model for a new industry based on biotechnology, the premise that biological discoveries would lead directly to breakthrough drugs. Since then, more than 1,200 biotechnology companies have sprung up around the world.
But Genentech is still a model. After years of turmoil and uncertainty, Genentech has nine drugs on the market, one awaiting regulatory approval and seven in late-stage clinical trials, all biological therapies.
Only a couple of dozen rivals have any drugs on the market, and most of those companies have just one or two. And while major pharmaceutical companies claim an average of three new drugs a year, many of them are me-too's or minor refinements of existing therapies. Genentech's recent performance -- one new drug or a new use of an existing drug approved in each of the last five years -- is enviable.
But the path to that state has been anything but direct. In 1990, Roche Holdings, based in Switzerland, took a majority stake in Genentech, setting off a debate over whether that link was a brilliant strategic stroke for Genentech or a sacrifice that would prevent it from becoming an American drug powerhouse, the Merck of its generation. Amgen Inc., which got its start four years after Genentech, is the largest biotech company in revenues and market capitalization, though it is thriving largely on the basis of just two blockbuster drugs.
Genentech fell into Roche's arms after Genentech's blood-clot-dissolving drug, Activase, failed to meet sales forecasts, and Wall Street refused to provide additional financing.
But since the mid-1990's, under a new chief executive with an obscure rallying cry to ''beat the put,'' Genentech has more than recovered.
As events happened, 1995 was the crucial year -- though it hardly looked that way at the time. Activase had not become a blockbuster, nor had Pulmozyme, a breakthrough drug for cystic fibrosis approved in December 1993. And in May 1995, with Genentech's stock price in the low $40's, Roche declined to exercise an option, or put, to acquire for $60 a share the 33 percent of the company that it did not already own, further depressing Genentech's shares.
That July, G. Kirk Raab was forced to resign as Genentech's chief executive after the disclosure that he had sought a personal loan guarantee of $2 million from Roche while in the midst of negotiations. That year, too, the company faced federal criminal charges, later settled, that it had marketed human growth hormone for unapproved uses.
And when Roche named Arthur D. Levinson, the company's chief scientist, to succeed Mr. Raab, Genentech seemed destined to be just a research arm of the Swiss giant, rather than an operating company. Making matters worse, Roche had negotiated a second put option, which fixed the price that it would have to pay for the rest of Genentech's shares until June 1999. That effectively capped the potential return to investors at a bond-like level, giving them little stake in whatever growth the company managed.
TO outsiders, Mr. Levinson was a nerd from central casting. Growing up in Seattle, he decided at the age of 7 to be a scientist. In his four graduate-school years at Princeton, he visited nearby New York City just once. And he had come to Genentech from a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of California at San Francisco, in the laboratory of Harold Varmus and Michael Bishop, who later shared the Nobel Prize for discovery of oncogenes, genes that give rise to cancer. At the time, Mr. Levinson had no experience in running a business.
But Mr. Levinson rapidly disproved the doubters. Yes, he immediately increased spending on research and development, but he also cleverly exploited the relationship with Roche, forged strategic alliances with other companies and made good hires.
In 1995, Mr. Levinson determined that he needed to increase earnings per share to a level where Genentech's price-to-earnings multiple would put the share price above Roche's option -- and keep the company semi-independent. To do that, he first spent heavily to build Genentech's drug pipeline and then cut back to help the bottom line.
He energized Genentech's troops with his ''beat the put'' cry. To escape the new put, exercisable in June 1999, Genentech shares would have to rise above their $82.50 price. ''Probably 80 percent of our employees didn't believe we could beat the put,'' Mr. Levinson said in a recent interview.
Beat it they did. But with Genentech shares reaching a high of $90 last spring, Roche bought out the company anyway. Then it did a surprising thing, issuing new shares equivalent to as much as 19 percent of Genentech to raise new capital. Later offerings further reduced Roche's stake, to 59 percent. Genentech closed on Friday at $185.69.
Roche has two directors on Genentech's board, but Genentech controls its own day-to-day destiny. ''They've done something very creative,'' said William Haseltine, chief executive of Human Genome Sciences, the first company founded to exploit the sequencing of the human genome. ''The relationship with Roche is probably the best you can create between an innovative organization and a large global corporation. I think it will be seen as a case study.''

Sucrose intolerance
|Sucrose intolerance
|Classification and external resources
Sucrose intolerance, also called congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID)[1] or sucrase-isomaltase deficiency,[2] is the condition in which sucrase, an enzyme needed for proper metabolism of sucrose (sugar), is not produced in the small intestine.
It is common among the Inupiat people.[3]
Sucrose (also termed saccharose) is a disaccharide and is a two-sugar chain composed of glucose and fructose which are bonded together. A more familiar name is table, beet, or cane sugar. In most cases, sucrose intolerance is an autosomal recessive, genetic, metabolic disease, and involves deficiency in the enzyme sucrase (invertase), which breaks apart the glucose and fructose molecules. Monosaccharides, or single sugar units, are absorbed directly into the blood. When disaccharides are consumed, they must be broken down into monosaccharides by enzymes in the intestines before they can be absorbed. Sucrose can sometimes be found in the stool as an indication of an inability to digest and absorb sucrose in the body.
A deficiency of sucrase may result in malabsorption of sugar, which can lead to potentially serious symptoms. It is important for those with sucrose intolerance to minimize sucrose consumption as much as possible. Dietary supplements can be taken as a substitute for the enzyme missing or to introduce healthy bacteria into the immune system.
Sucrose intolerance can be caused by genetic mutations in which both parents must contain this gene for the child to carry the disease. Sucrose intolerance can also be caused by irritable bowel syndrome, aging, or small intestine disease. There are specific tests used to determine sucrose intolerance. The most common tests are the sucrose breath test, genetic analysis or enzyme activity determination, which takes place in the small intestine.
Signs and symptoms[edit]
- Abdominal cramps and bloating
- Diarrhea and constipation
- Vomiting
- Hypoglycemia and headaches
- Poor weight gain and growth
- Upper respiratory tract and viral diseases
- Anxiety and heart palpitations
- Excess gas production

Well, I thought I would share my thoughts. I feel as if LLEN is the better play. Sure, PUDA's current strategy could potentially lead to higher earnings over time, but this is not a certainity. Considering that LLEN doesn't need to grow much in order to produce gains at these price levels (LLEN had a P/E (TTM) much lower than that of PUDA), it seems like the better bet. Also look at the return on capial numbers for both LLEN and PUDA. You'll notice that LLEN has much higher numbers than does PUDA. It appears like LLEN management is better able to invest the cash flow from operations to achieve high returns. Want to hear your opinions.
I became a LLEN shareholder this past week. I studied the financials of PUDA and CCME and liked the financial reports on LLEN better. CCME, which is not coal, has numbers that are unbelieveable and suspicious, so did not take a chance on that one, though it is still going up fast. Obama is supposed to be coming out soon with a report on China manipulating their currency exchange rates. I don't see how negative news there will affect LLEN in any way since the mined coal is sold in China, even though headquarters for the company is in Seattle. A U.S. presence and high insider ownership are positives for raising money and having more honest financial reports. I plan to hang on to LLEN for the longer term since the China story is just getting rolling. The 1900's were America's century, now I think the 2000's will be China's century and they have Japan and India worried.
Are you sure you studied & liked the financial reports on LLEN? You failed to mention that LLEN has very little cash to fund its expansion. That means the company at some point soon will have to borrow or dilute shares massively.
http://www.thestreet.com/story/10836726/1/3-china-stocks-that-beat-estimates.html'...Puda Coal is a supplier of high-grade metallurgical coking coal to the industrial sector in China. The company reported second-quarter earnings of 36 cents per share, topping analysts' estimates of 24 cents per share. Revenues soared 72% year-over-year to $82.3 million driven by higher sales volume coupled with higher average selling price...'October 02 2019http://seekingalpha.com/article/228030-as-coal-heats-up-3-companies-with-persuasive-coal-stories?source=yahoo'...For the six months ended June 30, 2010, sales increased by +47.7% to $144.3 million versus sales of $97.7 million in the comparable 2009 period. Earnings per share increased at a faster pace to $0.72 (up +188%) in the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus $0.25 in the first six months of 2009. For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2010, sales totaled $260.6 million and EPS amounted to $0.82. There is just one analyst providing estimates for the Company, which includes 2010 estimated EPS of $1.42 and $2.00 for the calendar year 2011.PUDA is in good financial condition. At June 30, 2010 they had total cash and equivalents of $70.3 million, total assets of $199.6 million, total liabilities of $69.1 million and shareholders equity of $130.5 million. This equates to net book value of $6.41 per share (including $3.45 per share in cash and equivalents) based on 20.4 million diluted shares outstanding during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.'

West with the Night
Markham is often described as "the first person" to fly the Atlantic east to west in a solo non-stop flight, though most now dispute this claim. When Markham decided to take on the Atlantic crossing, no pilot had yet flown non-stop from Europe to New York, and no woman had made the westward flight solo, though several had died trying. Markham hoped to claim both records. She took off from Abingdon, England. After a 20-hour flight she crash-landed at Baleine Cove on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. In spite of falling short of her goal, Markham had become the first woman to cross the Atlantic east-to-west solo, and the first person to make it from England to North America non-stop. She was celebrated as an aviation pioneer. Markham chronicled her many adventures in her memoir, West with the Night, published by BN Publishing. After living for many years in the United States, Markham moved back to Kenya, becoming for a time the most successful horse trainer in the country.

Justin Bieber Accused of Attempted Robbery of a Cell Phone
Justin Bieber has been accused of allegedly attempting to rob a woman of her cell phone, TMZ reports. Police are now investigating into the incident.
Justin Bieber has been accused of allegedly attempting to rob a woman of her cell phone, TMZ reports. Police are now investigating into the incident.
Justin Bieber did more this weekend than just hang out with his mom Pattie Malette and accidentally kiss a fan on the lips. He also Instagrammed a video of himself pulling a seemingly dangerous stunt: skateboarding down the street while holding on to a moving van -- also known as "skitching."
That is one lucky Belieber! Justin Bieber (accidentally) planted a kiss on a fan's lips after she quickly turned her head when he went in to smooch her cheek.
For Mother's Day, several of our favorite stars -- including Demi Lovato, Channing Tatum, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, Lucy Hale, Kim Kardashian -- tweeted Happy Mother's Day wishes to their moms and moms around the world, and also shared some private photos with their moms. Here are some of our favorites:
The moment we've been anxiously anticipating has arrived. Justin Bieber has finally responded to Seth Rogen's months-long broadcast that he will not be joining the ranks of Beliebers any time soon.
Belieber hearts everywhere broke a little (or a lot) when Justin Bieber shared a photo of himself getting cozy with model Yovanna Ventura. Despite reports that a relationship between the two is blossoming, JB is setting the record straight.
Celebrity kids are just like us — they love big stars too! Brad Pitt recently surprised his son Pax with a one-of-a-kind piece of Justin Bieber merchandise.
Is Justin Bieber actually dating someone other than his mostly-off-again ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez? The cozy photos with his new gal pal Yovanna Ventura seem to say so.
Are Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande collaborating together on a new track? After teasing fans on Twitter last night, Grande confirms this morning to Ryan Seacrest that yes, the two pop stars are indeed working on a duo together!
Selena Gomez may have a lot on her mind at the moment and it seems she's pouring it all out in the best way she knows how: song. The 21-year-old singer posted two raw Instagram videos of herself singing her heart out with nothing but a microphone and piano keyboard accompanying her.
Selena Gomez raised eyebrows after seemingly dropping Kendall and Kylie Jenner as friends post-Coachella, purging her Instagram account of all pictures with them. While the deletion was first explained as a way to remove negative influences in her life, now sources are claiming that the real reason Gomez defriended Kylie was because she was texting Justin Bieber.
Did Justin Bieber just release another new song, 'We Were Born for This?' It appears that he has. It's a largely acoustic, gentle song that is anchored by his falsetto. In the song, he sings about unconditional love, about being here to stay and about how real love doesn't (and can't) go unrecognized.

Mikel Obi Banned For 3 Matches And Fined £60,000 Over Chelsea-Man Utd Match Incident
Chelsea's John Mikel Obi has been given a three-match ban and fined £60,000 by the Football Association for threatening referee Mark Clattenburg.
Nigerian midfielder Mikel admitted an FA charge following an incident in the match official's changing room at the end of Chelsea's game against Manchester United on 28 October.
In a personal hearing on Thursday the FA's Independent Regulatory Commission accepted that the player had genuinely believed the referee had racially abused him.
"But for that factor the suspension would have been significantly longer," the FA said in a statement.
The FA has investigated the allegation against Clattenburg and found that there was no case for him to answer.

A diary found after her death said:
'I think that any life is as valid as the next, such that an ending of 25 is as good as 88. I have no real regrets or fears any more, I just feel decisive and justified.'

It is indeed a national disgrace to the acclaimed Giant of Africa that something like this is still happening in this 21st century in our country, yet Mr President and his co-travelers are comfortable to waste a whooping N2.2bn to build a new banquet hall, while the existing banquet hall gets huge allocations for renovation every year in the budget.

I Was in Mortuary for 7 Days but Came Out Alive –Envangelist Lazarus
He was murdered. After about seven days of inquiry into his 'death' and sundry issues, his relatives went to the mortuary with a coffin to take his body but were shocked to find him alive.
Lazarus Oluwafemi Agbolahan Makinde, now an evangelist, tells Sam Nwaoko his story.
To hear him, especially through the telephone receiver, you must be determined and very patient. The first time this reporter called him, the impression that initially came through as the voice was barely audible, was that he must have been tired out or had some ailment. It was indeed difficult deciphering the near whisper.

"Messi's Injury Is A Minor Knock" – Tito Vilanova
Barcelona manager, Tito Vilanova, has moved to allay fear over the injury Lionel Messi picked up last night, in their final Champions League group games against Benfica.
The Argentine forward, was taken to the hospital, where a series of tests were carried out and they revealed the 25-year-old sustained a contusion on his left knee.
"It looks like it's just a knock but they will be doing more tests to rule out other possibilities," Vilanova told reporters.
"Messi was a bit worried initially, which is normal when you don't know what it is. After the first tests by the doctors, he was calm, though."
Vilanova also insisted that he did not regret sending on Messi, for the last 30 minutes of the game, as he tries to break Gerd Muller's record of goals scored in a year.
"We talked about the possibility of him playing for 30 minutes. He's a player who likes to play. It was part of his physical training program," the head coach continued.
"We should not take him off every time we're leading 3-0 lest he picks up an injury. We've never behaved this way. If I had to repeat the game, I'd make the same decision seeing as he can get injured at any moment."
Barcelona's next game is on Sunday against Real Betis.

The decisive winner of the 2012 U.S. presidential election on all counts: Obama took the popular vote, the electoral college and 7 out of 7 toss-up states. Now he gets 4 more years to push his agenda past weakened congressional Republicans. Still, he faces major challenges, including an unresolved budget crisis, stubbornly high unemployment and renewed unrest in the Middle East. But Obama remains the commander in chief of the world's greatest military and head of the sole economic and cultural superpower—literally the leader of the free world.

Man Smuggles Snake On Plane, Forces Emergency Landing
Ninety passengers aboard an Egypt Air flight from Cairo to Kuwait could have used actor Samuel L. Jackson this week after a snake reportedly bit a Jordanian man who smuggled the reptile onboard.
Jackson's character in the movie "Snakes on a Plane" tries to figure out how to save the aircraft after crates of hyped-up serpents started killing the cast.
There wasn't quite that kind of drama on Monday, but the incident forced the pilot to make an emergency landing in the Egyptian resort town of Al Ghardaqa on the Red Sea, according to The Jordan Times.
An Egypt Air official told the paper an investigation revealed that the 48-year-old passenger, who owns a reptile shop in Kuwait, had hidden the Egyptian cobra in a carry-on bag. The passenger was trying to control the snake after it bit his hand and started slithering under the seats.

OKADA BAN: Sex Workers in Lagos Lament Low Patronage
It appears that the commercial sex workers are the worst hit by the effects of the partial ban on the activities of commercial motorcycle riders in Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria
The commercial sex workers, most of whom operate in brothels, say their biggest customers are the okada riders, but that since the ban on their activities, their businesses have crumbled.
In some of the brothels visited around the state by our correspondent, many of the prostitutes were often seen idling away in the evenings when they are supposed to be in their peak period.
Many of them say they are now forced to move to the streets at night in desperate search for patrons instead of staying within the brothels for the customers.

AbstractThe growing global demand for seafood together with the limited capacity of the wild-capture sector to meet this demand has seen the aquaculture industry continue to grow around the world. A vast array of aquatic animal species is farmed in high density in freshwater, brackish and marine systems where they are exposed to new environments and potentially new diseases. On-farm stresses may compromise their ability to combat infection, and farming practices facilitate rapid transmission of disease. Viral pathogens, whether they have been established for decades or whether they are newly emerging as disease threats, are particularly challenging since there are few, if any, efficacious treatments, and the development of effective viral vaccines for delivery in aquatic systems remains elusive. Here, we review a few of the more significant viral pathogens of finfish, including aquabirnaviruses and infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus which have been known since the first half of the 20th century, and more recent viral pathogens, for example betanodaviruses, that have emerged as aquaculture has undergone a dramatic expansion in the past few decades.
Keywords: aquabirnavirus; betanodavirus; infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus; salmonid alphavirus; epizootic hematopoietic necrosis virus; infectious salmon anemia virus; viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus

*This itinerary is based on our previous experience with the region. Programs change every year based on the needs of our partners. This should give you a sense of what our program may look like.
Orientation – From Ghana to Togo
We arrive in Accra via Kotoka International Airport, where the group will come together! Stretching across the Atlantic coast, the capital city will serve as our first meeting point.
In the morning we'll depart for Wli, a small town in the Volta Region of Ghana set against the beautiful backdrop of lush mountains and rushing waterfalls. It's the perfect setting for our team to ease into Ghanaian culture and the pace of life…all while getting to know each other! A local friend will prepare a taste of real Ghanaian cuisine for a very warm (literally!) welcome. Orientation wouldn't be complete without a hike, so we will take a day to trek over to Togo, a neighbouring country in the east. Then we'll head back to Wli to visit the famous Agumatsa Falls, the largest waterfall in West Africa. Let the adventure begin!
Global Health Education – Accra
Our team will trek the mountains of the Volta region back to the bustling city of Accra. Home to some of the largest open markets, streets, and stations, Accra makes for the perfect place to really get a feel for the hustle and bustle of Ghanaian urban life! We'll be staying at our home-away-from-home in the centre of the city and visit the National Control Programs for HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis to learn more about the landscape of healthcare in the city. We'll also meet our partners in Old Fadama, the largest slum settlement in the country. We'll get insider perspectives on health access and treatment, as well as the daily struggles within Ghana.
Health Along the Gold Coast
Our team will take a beautiful and scenic ride south to Cape Coast – a place full of culture, heritage, and opportunity! Here we'll work with Nkwa Foundation and Hoops Care International, two public health NGOs that we first partnered with last year. Our team last year chose to explore and volunteer on a number of projects, including assisting in rural health outreach programs, data collection, and public health presentations with local health professionals for the local community. This year, there will also be several opportunities to branch out into many particular niches in the health field.
Outside of our work with these two community development organizations, we will have a chance to explore ancient slave castles, learn about the complex history of the slave trade, relax on the beach, and learn to cook Ghanaian cuisine from our local friends!
The Ashanti Markets – Kumasi
The journey north is an epic one, so we'll stop over in Kumasi to stretch our legs and explore the country's second-largest city. Our team will have the opportunity to visit and take stock of OG's current and past projects. The city serves as a great spot to debrief as a team, discuss what we've seen so far, and prepare for the final leg of our program!
Empowering Ghanaian Health Initiatives – Northern Ghana
We will be living in the north of Ghana in the warm and hospitable town of Sandema – the birthplace of OG! This is where our team will assist local NGOs working hard to improve the health status of their communities. Some of these projects may involve interviewing community members to gather demographic statistics, assisting the growth income-generation intiatives, and participating in health outreach programs with public health nurses.
We'll also have a chance to learn the ins and outs of running an NGO in Ghana and the complexities of operating within the country. Throughout this time, many of our alumni have found their true passion in health. The North holds a special place in the hearts of our teams as it is the place where we get a more comprehensive understanding of Ghana, ease into the relaxed vibe, take part in group dinners, have discussions under the stars, and so much more!
Independent Travel Time
A staple of all Operation Groundswell programs is Independent Travel Time (ITT). You can travel independently if you desire but we encourage everyone to travel in pairs or small groups. ITT is the ideal time for you to learn more about your specific interest, whether it's by hitting up all of Ghana's ten regions, cruising through the safaris of Mole National Park, or even revisiting your homestays and volunteer placements!
**Please note that you are not under the auspices of the organized program during ITT. Team members will be given the emergency contact number of program leaders during ITT for any advice.
Disorientation – Princes Town
'Disorientation' is our chance to regroup, relax, debrief, and prepare for our return in our respective homes. We will meet at a community-run guesthouse housed in a former colonial slave castle in Princes Town, back on the Atlantic coast of Ghana. Set against pristine beaches, we will speak to our goals and accomplishments, ways to collaborate on future projects, and how to stay in touch after the program. Everyone will enjoy a last taste of the delicious local cuisine from our wonderful friend and guide, Joseph! This is a place most will never forget. This is a time for reflection, many laughs, chats, and late night hang out sessions. A perfect way to end the program before heading off to the airport for some tearful goodbyes!

With OG, you live like the locals.
Our time will be split into several styles of accommodation, from sharing local guest houses to dorm-style hostels. Immersing ourselves in various local communities, we'll certainly feel the warmth from welcoming Ghanaian families. Pounding fufu, telling Anansi stories, and waking up with the sun can be expected. Although accommodation varies from place to place, everywhere we stay will be a safe and enjoyable place to lay your head!
As an artist and book-lover, Rebekah always imagined worlds outside her own and longed to roam other lands and learn from other cultures. She has recently completed her bachelor's degree in Global Studies with a focus on Community Development and Environmental Studies, two of her greatest passions. She likes to say that wanderlust has always run through her veins and after a year-long study abroad program in Ghana, she discovered that anywhere can become a home. Rebekah is building community and forming a home that now spans around the globe. She is grateful to be part of a movement for consciousness and is often found drinking tea, hula hooping and learning other languages.
With a curious mind and insatiable hunger for knowledge, Noah is always found in an art gallery or with a book in hand. He is currently a student at the University of Ghana pursuing a master's degree in African Studies and hopes to be a lecturer someday. In his free time, he finds inspiration at UG's botanical gardens, where he enjoys reading books on cultures and philosophy. He always loves a good adventure, whether exploring foreign lands or his own hometown. Noah cannot wait to embark on this next adventure with Operation Groundswell, especially with such lively motivated people by his side. He lives by the neter medu (early versions of writing by people of kemet) found in a tomb, "enjoying oneself, viewing the beautiful…at the place of the constant renewal of life."

Twenty boys were chosen from parish church choirs to sing at the 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
Note: This article is from the Guardian.
This article titled "Ovaltine, chocolate and a bottle of milk: choristers recall coronation highlights" was written by Stephen Pritchard, for The Observer on Sunday 2nd June 2013 07.30 UTC
When boy choristers file into the choir stalls at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday, to mark today's 60th anniversary of Elizabeth II's coronation, they will look very like their 1953 counterparts, apart from one detail: they won't be hiding small milk bottles in their cassocks. With hours of pageant and splendour before them, the milk was necessary refreshment – and the empty bottle could have been useful in an emergency.
On Tuesday, those 1953 choristers will be returning to the abbey as it welcomes the Queen and members of the royal family to a special commemoration. They have funded a musical gift for the monarch: a new anthem that follows examples by Purcell, Croft, Handel and Parry in its evocation of regal splendour.
One of the choristers is David Bainbridge, aged 11 when he was one of the 20 boys chosen from parish church choirs to join choristers from the abbey, Chapel Royal and Britain's major cathedrals to sing at the coronation. He had to learn the music before setting out to the headquarters of the Royal School of Church Music at Addington Palace, Croydon, to spend a month rehearsing.
"To be honest, I didn't want to go," he said. "As a working-class boy from Dartford, I thought I was going to be stuck with a load of toffs for a month, but when I walked into the dormitory and found two boys from Belfast cathedral knocking hell out of each other with pillows I thought: 'I'm going to like this.' It was only on the day of the final rehearsal that it dawned on us what an occasion it was going to be, what with a large orchestra and state trumpeters blasting away.
"I'll never forget the day itself. We had to be in our places at 7am, armed with sandwiches, Ovaltine tablets and, best of all, a bar of chocolate – sweets had only just come off ration. And, yes, we had a third of a pint of milk and were told to use the empty bottle if an emergency arose. I don't think anyone dared to, though.
"It was the colour of it all that really struck me: the scarlet and gold … all those dukes and earls in their robes, and the new Queen. I think of all the music I enjoyed, singing Handel's Zadok the Priest the most. It's such a powerful piece. We finally got out of the abbey at about 1pm, when we were given the most enormous buffet in the cloisters – brilliant for hungry boys. I remember wandering outside with my plate and finding the gold state coach waiting to take the Queen. I asked the coachman if I could climb inside and eat my lunch. Of course he said no, but he let me touch it. It was like a Disneyland dream for us."
The new piece, commissioned with the help of those former choristers, is The King Shall Rejoice by Bob Chilcott, a choral conductor and composer who sang with the King's Singers for many years. He is also known to millions for a recording he made when a boy, the Pie Jesu solo in King's College Cambridge's definitive 1967 recording of Fauré's Requiem, which is still available today.
Unlike the coronation, Tuesday's service, which will be broadcast live on BBC1, will be sung by just the abbey choir and the choir of the Chapel Royal. "I was very excited to write for them," said Chilcott. "They are such wonderful singers. The dean and chapter made a few suggestions for text, including Psalm 21. Handel only set the first three verses, but I set the first six, because I think they really express what it must be to be a monarch and live your entire life in service to the state. It occurred to me that the text of William Byrd's O Lord Bless Thy Servant Elizabeth, which he wrote for Elizabeth I, might also be appropriate, so I have also set those words."
Chilcott's anthem is an imposing work for double choir and organ, with intriguingly thick texturing in the voice parts. "I wanted it to be a dance-like celebratory piece with contrasting passages of gentler lyricism," he said. "I took as my benchmark Walton's Te Deum, which is also in the service and was sung at the coronation. My father-in-law [the late Sir Philip Ledger, former director of music at King's College, Cambridge] happened to have an edition of all the music for the Queen's coronation. There was so much of it! The service took four hours and closed with Walton's magnificent piece.
"It's quite a responsibility. I wanted to write something that both fulfilled the requirements of a big occasion and that would also serve the liturgy. It's interesting how we as a nation feel the need for music at these big occasions, just as we do at certain stages in our own lives – at weddings and funerals, for instance."
Organist and master of the choristers James O'Donnell told the Observer that the abbey had asked Chilcott to write the music because they wanted a piece that would be both accessible and suitable. "We knew that we would get a well-crafted piece from a man who really understands choirs," he said.Chilcott lives in a village in the Cotswolds. "There was a knock at the door the other day," he said. "It was a villager who said he had sung in the choir at the coronation and was really chuffed to have contributed towards this new piece. That made me feel very proud."
