Everything we do revolves around the welfare of the Zambia orphans. 1.2 million children have lost one or both parents through HIV and AIDS, malaria and poverty related issues.
We take a holistic approach when working with orphans and rural communities, looking to see how their water, food, health and education facilites can be improved. We have made tremendous progress in many areas, most especially by adding bore holes (wells) in schools, most recently to Siachabuki and Simuka. With the prolonged drought, which has caused considerable food shortages throughout the Southern Province, bore holes are essential, not only to provide safe drinking water, but also to enable irrigation for school gardens. This year fifteen schools have received seeds and fertilizers to develop sustainable feeding programs.
Major projects completed in 2015 include the school development at N'gandu with the addition of a 1×3 classroom block, two teacher's houses and latrines. Other schools that recently received funding are River View, who were given desks and text books, and 100 pupils received school bags containing all their educational needs. Kasiya School has new latrines, a teacher's house has been restored at Kamwi and a new 1×2 classroom block at N'dele.
In December a number of orphans, being sponsored by the charity, completed school and will receive their results in March 2016. Charity Muuya, completed her third year at Teacher's Training College and will be volunteering for The Butterfly Tree while she await employment. Over the Christmas period we have engaged school leavers, who were sponsored by The Butterfly Tree, and having been trained as peer educators, to run HIV prevention workshops.
We are reaching out to 29 schools in four Chiefdoms. Thousands of orphans and vulnerable children, throughout the Kazungula and Livingstone Districts, now have access to improved water supplies, feeding programmes, better education and healthcare.
There are 1.2 million orphans in Zambia, primarily as a result of the HIV and AIDS pandemic. All the work done by The Butterfly Tree in Zambia is designed to improve the welfare of these vulnerable children. Every school we work in has orphans - Mukuni Village has the highest number with a staggering 600 children, over 50%, losing one or both parents!
In October 2010 I had to deal with one of the most heartbreaking situations I have ever encountered. Baby boys, Elvis and Vincent, were born two months premature, after their mother went into early labour. She died during childbirth with a third baby. The hospital could not help them, so when they were just two weeks old, each weighing less than 3lbs, they were sent home, to the remote village of Kamwi. The Butterfly Tree has supported these vulnerable boys ever since. I am overjoyed to tell you that this month they are celebrating their fifth birthday!
Our program has helped hundreds of orphans, and has enabled them to stay with their friends instead of having to go into orphanages. The first orphan we ever sponsored was Peter Liyungu, who went on to complete high school and is now being sponsored to go to college. Peter and another sponsored orphan called Charity, recently did their work experience at Mukuni and will shortly become qualified teachers. Josias, who has already gained his certificate, is volunteering at N'dele School, whicle awaiting a permanent teaching post.
To prevent new cases of HIV we fund workshops in schools. This project teaches peer educators all about the dangers of HIV, sex education, teenage pregnancies and alcohol issues. Once trained these young educators visit other schools and teach the pupils everything they know about HIV prevention. We are seeing very good results.
As always education is the key to overcoming poverty and its related issues. Your support has enabled us to pay for school and exam fees, buy uniforms, school shoes, bags and books. We are very grateful to all our sponsors, the guardians who look after the orphans and the volunteers who oversee the welfare of these very special children.
Zambia has 1.2 million orphans as a result of the HIV and AIDS pandemic. The Butterfly Tree has provided an orphan support program for orphaned children from remote villages since 2006.
Sadly it will be a whole generation before a significant difference can be made. In the meantime it is essential for these vulnerable children receive a sound basic education to enable them to be free of the poverty cycle.
River View School in the Sekute Chiefdom is just one of the many schools that receives support from The Butterfly Tree. This school is close to the border of Botswana. There is a high statistic of people living with HIV in this area due to it being a border town, where truckers can wait up to three days to cross the river. This puts a huge strain on the limited medical facilities and the NGO's working in the field on HIV prevention and support.
Less than a mile from River View School a new town of Kazungula is being developed. The school has 1,181 pupils of which 180 are orphans. Every week the school receives new pupils with the every increasing number of people coming to the area for work. There is a bridge being built across the river which will take six years to complete and has attracted workers from all over Zambia.
In 2013 we opened a special education unit at River View and most recently donated funds to complete a pre-school for the very young children. It is hoped that by giving this support it will help to protect these children from the dangers of HIV and the issues related to poverty.
Last month we were able to give a donation to River View School to buy a considerable amount of text books. The Ministry of Education recently changed the syllabus, but were unable to provide sufficient books for each class. This year we have also donated blankets, school jumpers and hats, knitted by the ladies of Inner Wheel Clubs UK, to provide warmth for the orphans during the cold winter nights between June and August.
Your support is greatly appreciated, but much more is needed for River View School.
The majority of The Butterfly Tree's work in Zambia revolves around the welfare of vulnerable chilren, far too many are left orphaned as a result of the HIV and AIDS pandemic. Life is rural villages is especially tough for the young - lack of safe water, no electricity, food shortages and disease are just some of the problems they endure on a daily basis. Children have to walk up 10 miles each way to get to school, leaving home at 4am to arrive for the start of lessons at 7am. With little else to do children yearn to seek an education.
Education is vital in helping to alleviate poverty and its related issues. We currently have several educational advancements being made – the construction of a 1×2 classroom block and latrines are almost complete at N'dele Primary School. N'gandu Junior Secondary School is undergoing extensive expansion with the addition of a 1x3 classroom block, two teachers' houses and latrines. Muchambile Village has received a boost adding a much needed clinic and materials for the school. Kasiya Community School has new latrines, essential to improve sanitition and reduce the number of diarrhoeal cases.
HIV is being successfully addressed through our 'Catch me I'm a Butterfly' project. This simple method trains young people to become peer educators in the prevention of HIV. Once the groups have been fully trained they hold workshops in outreach schools on the dangers of HIV. Topics include teenage pregnancies, how to prevent getting HIV, sex education and alcohol problems. The students can talk freely and more openly to the young educators, than they can to parents, teachers or guardians.
Many of the orphans we have supported have now completed high school. We have sponsored a number of them to go on to further education resulting in employment. What is most rewarding is to see the ones being sponsored at teachers' traiining college coming back to the rural schools to partake in work experience. Peter, Charity and Josias are working in the Mukuni Schools, in addition Martin is doing an engineering course and Jacob is studying agriculture. The knowledge they ware gaining will give them the opportunity to eventually support their familes and give something back to their community.
Advancing the education in schools is invaluable for future development of these rural communities who desperately need your support.
In 2006 shortly after I founded The Butterfly Tree I met Peter Liyungu, a Zambian orphan, who had to live in a rural village after losing both his parents. Both Peter and his brother Mishek stayed with their aunt in Mukuni Village. Though the aunt was able to look after the boys she could not afford to edcuate them, and Peter was becoming troublesome.
The Butterfly Tree starting sponsoring Peter's education and the following year Mishek was also included on the Orphan Support Program. At the time there were no rural high schools in the Kazungula District so Peter was offered a chance to go to boarding school. By the time Mishek passed his examinations to attend high school The Butterfly Tree had funded the first rural high school in the Dtirct, of which Mishek was able to attend.
In 2012 Peter completed high school with glowing results, follwed by Mishek two years later. Peter tried to raise funds for a further education course, doing peace work to earn some money. I was so impressed that Peter had made an effort to support himself that through the charity we were able to help him to go to Livingstone Teacher's Training College.
Peter is in his second year at the college and this coming school term, which starts on May 10th, Peter will do his work experience at the very same school he atteneded back in 2006. It is hoped that we can also find a suitable course for Mishek.
It is wonderful to know that these gifted young men have reached so far thanks to generous funding received through our Orphan Support Programs. Thousands of rural children in Zambia are now receiving a sound education, others like Peter are doing teaching, agriculture, and forward and clearing courses. Some are now in employment and able to support their own families and community.
The donations received through the Orphan Support Program can change a child's life and help to alleviate poverty and its related issues.

I have eaten more in the past six days than in my previous five weeks in Bolivia. Cochabambinos pride themselves on living in the eating capital of Bolivia, and the third question people ask you after "What's your name?" and "Where are you from?" is usually "How do you like the food?" The local specialty is pique, a big pile of beef, chicken, sausage, hot dogs, tripe, chicharrones, hard-boiled eggs and udder (udder!) stacked 8-12 inches high on a bed of french fries.

Since arriving in Nigeria, I've mostly been hot. When I'm not hot, I'm comfortable. Cold is a word that I reserve for specifying how I would like my bottled water. When I became chilled and goose bumps started popping on Wednesday night, I knew something was wrong.
Within one hour, my forehead was burning up. I returned home from my friend's house and went straight for my sweatshirt and thermometer. One hundred and two point four degrees. I popped some drugs, collected an arsenal of bottled water and went to bed, telling my Bengali housemate, Rafiq, that tonight I would not be...Continue Reading >>
I promised a long time ago to write about housing in Nuevo Laredo.
So I will exercise self-control and delay the gratification of writing about my recent outing to a lucha libre pro wrestling extravaganza. I will write instead about how housing gets built here in Nuevo Laredo – more of a sweaty struggle than the lucha libre on any day – and why housing microfinance is important in this process.

Squeezing people into taxis is par for the course in Cameroon. As cabs approach, you shout your destination to the driver and if you get the nod you hop in. If there are already three in the back, no matter, there's room for one more. If there are two in the front, again, no problem: a third person can fit in – roughly positioned astraddle the gear stick (US English: stick shift).
Leaving Bamenda to make the journey to the small town of Belo, I felt a certain smugness at having bagged the front seat of the taxi. A...Continue Reading >>
Dar es Salaam. The city is an assault on the senses. Flying into Nyerere International airport, my first glimpse of Tanzania, and indeed of Africa, is incredibly beautiful – mile upon mile of azure ocean clings alluringly to a sandy coastline, clusters of coconut trees spring up from between houses with maroon and blue roofs, and an incredible profusion of blood red hibiscus infuse the entire landscape with color and vibrancy. Quite simply, it is breathtaking. Little wonder then that the city's name translates into 'abode of peace' in Arabic, named so by Arab...Continue Reading >>
In Cambodia, AMK has the lowest average loan balance per borrower. According to MIXMarket, AMK's average balance at the end of 2007 was $86 per borrower. To put that in perspective the second lowest was AMRET at $164, which is nearly 90% higher. HKL, Credit MFI, and Maxima (the other three Cambodian MFIs working with Kiva) have an average loan balance of $603, $564, and $514 respectively. Currently, 93.4% of AMK's loans are below $300 and their average loan balance is now $114. AMK chooses to keep their average loan balance low.

Well, maybe I'm not the first to discover that microfinance existed in Cameroon before the Grameen bank was founded in India or before Mohammed Yunnus got the Nobel Prize, but I felt like I had when I stumbled upon Njangi while talking to some friends over the weekend.

The standard of education is excellent and radio commercials advertising excellent classroom facilities for young children frequent the radio. Conversation amongst the teens most often centers on grades from the last semester and I've yet to...Continue Reading >>

Hi ladies! I've never frozen lots of foods before (other than meats and things that obviously were bought frozen), but I think I could really stretch my cash if I started doing this. My questions are:
What do you buy in bulk and freeze?
How long can things stay in the freezer?

Consumers: Workplace EV Charging Stations A Priority
Before electric vehicles can really take off, it appears that consumers consider workplace charging stations to be a near necessity.
Among consumers who intend to purchase plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, 79 percent consider free charging outlets at their workplace to be "very important" or "extremely important," according to the Electric Vehicle Consumer Survey from Pike Research.
Pike Research estimates that in excess of 600,000 PHEVs will be sold in the U.S. by 2015.
Also by 2015, Pike Research estimates that more than 200,000 public, private and workplace charging stations will be in place in the U.S., with nearly 145,000 of those public charging stations, spurred by government incentives.
At home, only five percent of survey respondents indicated they would be willing to pay the going rate – $500-800 – for a residential fast-charging outlet.
The survey was conducted in the second quarter of 2009, with 1,041 U.S. consumers.

Phoenix IT recorded a £63m loss after accounting irregularities were discovered by the company.
The computer services company published its interim results on the London Stock Exchange news feed on Friday, reporting a pre tax loss of £63.3m.
Phoenix recorded a one-off impairment charge of £68.1m against goodwill and intangible assets at its acquired subsidiary Servo, where the irregularities were found.
After the discovery of an accounting "black hole" last month, the firm enlisted PwC to take over from Deloitte as auditor and CEO David Courtley left the company after just 15 months in the job.
Phoenix also hired law firm Nabarro alongside PwC to look into the accounting and control processes. Servo's finance activities, meanwhile, will be relocated to to a shared services centre at the company's Northampton headquarters.

As many long time turtle hobbyists can tell you, our native California desert tortoise has long been known by the scientific name Gopherus agassizii. Gopherus is a uniquely North American genus consisting of tortoises that are structurally adapted to a burrowing and digging lifestyle. Three other species of gopher tortoise are alive today - the Texas tortoise (berlandieri), the Mexican Bolson tortoise (flavomarginatus), and the Florida gopher tortoise (polyphemus). Over the years, experts in the field came to realize that the genus Gopherus really included two groups of tortoises, separable on the basis of differences in their bone and shell structure. In recognition of these differences a new genus (Scaptochelys) was proposed in 1982 that would include the desert and Texas tortoises. This new genus name was short lived, however, because it was soon pointed out that the genus name Xerobates had been proposed for the desert tortoise back in 1857, and the rules of scientific nomenclature strictly assign priority in naming to the earliest date. So, in 1984 the desert tortoise became Xerobates agassizii and the closely related Texas tortoise became X. berlandieri.
Unfortunately, name changes like these happen quite often. Usually this is because a new species or sub-species is discovered, or a new relationship is identified between already known species. On occasion, a tortoise species has apparently been named twice, as happened with Geochelone forsteni which used to be known as G. travancorica or G. forsteni depending upon where it came from. Now, thanks to the application of recently developed molecular biological techniques, the study of the classification of species and their inter-relationships is undergoing a revolution that will eventually reduce the need for many of these periodic name changes.
Instead of relying on a physical comparison of species, scientists can now compare fragments of DNA to construct "gene trees". DNA, found in the cells of all animals and plants, is the genetic blueprint that carries the genes coding for what an organism is and what it will look like. Molecular biologists have developed ways to examine DNA by cutting it into smaller fragments that can be separated by their size into characteristic patterns. Since offspring inherit their DNA from their parents the fragment patterns obtained from offspring DNA are similar to those of the parents. On the other hand, the DNA fragment patterns from unrelated individuals tend to differ. Therefore, a comparison of DNA fragment patterns can reveal how closely related two individuals or species are. Also, since species evolve over time due to the accumulation of favorable mutations in their DNA, analysis of DNA fragment patterns can give valuable information on the evolutionary relationships between species.
The first major application of these techniques to the study of chelonian biology was published recently1. Professor Avise of the University of Georgia, and Drs. Lamb and Gibbons of the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory used analysis of DNA fragment patterns to study the evolution and classification of Gopherus tortoises, placing particular emphasis on the desert tortoise.
The scientists studied a form of DNA (mitochondrial DNA) that is inherited only from the mother. They found that the desert tortoise population consists of 3 major distinct assemblages of genotypes. The first or "western" assemblage is the most wide-spread, occurring north and west of the Colorado River, and includes at least 3 sub-groups that differ only by 1 or 2 fragments. The commonest sub-group occurs throughout the Colorado and Mojave deserts in California extending into southern Nevada along the Piute Valley. Interestingly, the two other sub-groups both lie in the most northern part of the desert tortoise range. One of these sub-groups extends along the Ivanpah valley in California eastward through Nevada to extreme northwest Arizona and southern Utah. The last and smallest sub-group is restricted to the area where the borders of Arizona, Utah and Nevada meet.
The second assemblage includes most of the Arizona desert tortoises and extends south into Sonora (Mexico), a linear distance of nearly 500 miles. This "eastern" genotype is distinguished from the western assemblage by at least 17 fragmentation site changes! This difference between the western and eastern groups is quite remarkably large for animals that form a single species, and is one of the largest differences reported for any animal. Such a sizeable difference suggests that the western and eastern tortoises have been separated geographically for a long period of time, probably as long as 2-3 million years. This corresponds to a geological period during which great rivers and shallow seas (such as the Bouse sea) periodically covered much of the lower Colorado desert. Since these were eventually replaced by the modern Colorado River, tortoises originally located on the west and east sides of the Bouse sea have remained reproductively isolated from each other up to the present day. The scientists also discovered a third "southern" assemblage, almost as different from the western tortoises as the western tortoises differ from the eastern, in a small area of southern Sonora. Although it is not yet clear where the boundary is between the eastern and southern assemblages, southern Sonora is an area of deciduous forest, ecologically very different from the desert habitat of the other two major genotypes.
Although these observations may at first glance seem rather academic they establish a couple of very important points: (a) the desert tortoise is scientifically extremely interesting, and (b) the desert tortoise we know to-day includes a variety of populations with differing genotypes. Direct evidence that the desert tortoise exists in several genetically different forms advances the cause of those of us interested in preserving and protecting these remarkable animals, since moves to place the more critically endangered populations under federal protection are now clearly justified on scientific grounds.
When the scientists compared DNA from all four species of gopher tortoise they confirmed the close link between X. agassizii and X. berlandieri, and between G. flavomarginatus and G. polyphemus. Their results suggested that the Xerobates and Gopherus forms last shared a common female ancestor some 5-6 million years ago. The Texas tortoise, X. berlandieri, proved to be very closely related to the "eastern" agassizii genotype. It is highly likely that berlandieri evolved from this eastern agassizii assemblage, probably from Xerobates stock inhabiting the north central region of Sonora. Perhaps the closeness of the relationship between the eastern agassizii assemblage and berlandieri explains the occasional occurrence of hybrids from matings between captive Texas and desert tortoises.
The development and refinement of genotyping techniques such as these will continue, and, hopefully, will be extended to other chelonian families. Eventually it may become feasible to identify the origin of an individual turtle or tortoise on the basis of a simple blood test. This is of great practical significance, since it could be used to identify undocumented long term captives at the sub-species level. Knowing the correct identity of the hundreds of giant tortoises currently exhibited in zoos, for example, could conceivably result in an expansion of the available breeding pools for the more critically endangered sub-species.

Published: August 30, 1987
(Page 3 of 3)
If this desire on the part of the characters in ''Woods'' to assume responsibility for others stands in marked contrast to the attitudes of characters in earlier Sondheim shows - the defensiveness exhibited by Robert in ''Company'' (who worries about the perils of having ''someone to hurt you too deep,/ Someone to bore you to death'') or the artistic detachment of George in ''Sunday in the Park'' (who sings about watching ''the rest of the world/ From a window'') - it also points up something of a new attitude toward the past - a willingness to come to terms with what has gone before without undue bitterness or anger.
Compared with the disillusioned folks in ''Follies'' and ''Merrily We Roll Along,'' who use the past to measure their loss of youthful idealism, the characters in ''Woods'' do not mourn their loss of innocence -rather, they embrace it as a necessary, if painful, part of growing up. They willingly, if somewhat sadly, trade a simplistic happiness for a more sobering awareness of the ambiguities and complexities of grown-up life.
''When you're young, you envision happiness in such an idealized way,'' says Mr. Lapine, referring to the differences in the characters between Act I and Act II. ''As you get older, you realize happiness involves a lot of problems. To me, that's not an unhappy kind of ending - it's just a more informed sense of happy, a happiness that's been earned.''
THOUGH MR. LAPINE and Mr. Sondheim knew fairly early on that they wanted to address such themes, it was not until they took the show to San Diego last winter that they were really able to start clarifying these issues. In talks with Heidi and Rocco Landesman, who are producing the show with Rick Steiner, M. Anthony Fisher and Fred Mayerson, the authors had decided that they wanted to augment the workshop process they'd previously employed with ''Sunday'' by taking the show out of town. So last December, ''Into the Woods'' opened at the Old Globe Theater in San Diego for a six-week run.
During rehearsals and performances there, Mr. Sondheim continued to write new songs, and this summer, during further rehearsals in New York, Mr. Lapine - functioning now in a dual role as writer and director - continued to hone the book. Though an earlier version of Act II contained a considerable amount of violence - meant to give the audience an unsettling sense of the precariousness of life (Rapunzel, for example, commits suicide) - much of it tended to play as black comedy, and the authors resolved to re-think it.
Along the way, other editing decisions have been made as well: some characters, including Rumpelstiltskin and the Three Little Pigs, have been cut in order to simplify the plot, and other narrative digressions have been similarly pruned. ''The big problem for us was the same problem we had with 'Sunday,' '' says Mr. Lapine. ''It's that the show's about too many things. Consequently a lot of our work has to do with choosing the themes to focus on.''
One of the wonderful things about fairy tales, Mr. Lapine goes on, is that they allow everyone ''to invent their own meaning.'' ''I remember reading somewhere the notion that the reason fairy tales have stayed around for so long is that every generation reads them and comes up with its own interpretations to answer its own needs. In a way, I think that that's what we've tried to do with this show.''

text: Posted August 28, 2012 I agree and so do 32% of those polled. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there that believe dinosaurs and people either co-existed or that fossils were placed by the devil to test people's faith in God. I do not believe in the bible or any organized religion for that matter, but I see no reason why religion and evolution cannot co-exist. I am not going to get into debates or arguements over whether god exists or not (personal beliefs and quite frankly I don't have a clue whether he does or not). However, for someone to completely discredit evolution (and all of the tangible evidence that not only supports it but PROVES it) they must be a complete idiot. You CANNOT look at all of the fossils and archeological evidence and just say....."I don't believe it". If you want to be an intelligent religious person, I believe that you MUST be able to reconcile the two. 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Contrary to published reports that media tycoon Tyler Perry sold his Buckhead Atlanta mansion at a huge profit for $17.5 million, he actually lost millions on the sale.
Contrary to published reports that media tycoon Tyler Perry sold his Buckhead Atlanta mansion at a huge profit for $17.5 million, he actually lost millions on the sale.
Last month acclaimed director Tyler Perry sold his massive, 35,000 square-foot Buckhead mansion for $17.5 million — a record for Atlanta real estate sales.
Now we know why he sold his dream house which was touted by his listing agent as "perhaps the most compelling private residence to ever be offered to market in the history of Atlanta."
You missed your chance to live like Tyler Perry and the other 1% in America.
The multimillionaire media mogul finally sold his Buckhead mansion for a record $17.5 million, making real estate history in the process.
Entertainment Titans Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey were once tighter than a pair of panty hose 2 sizes small. But the media moguls recently parted ways over creative and professional differences.
Rumor has it that Oprah grew tired of the gay direction that Perry was taking all of his shows in.
Director and playwright Tyler Perry continues his tradition of casting gay and bisexual men in his film projects.
Perry, 46, signed washed up rapper Tyga to star in his new movie, Boo! A Madea Halloween.
Movie and television magnate Tyler Perry is calling on the media to show "some decency" to Bobbi Kristina Brown and her family.
Perry made his plea in a Facebook post. His statement comes just one day after a hearse showed up outside the Duluth, GA. hospice where Brown lays in a vegetative state after being taken off a ventilator 3 weeks ago.
Bobbi Kristina Brown's final hours are in turmoil. The 22-year-old aspiring singer was found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub on Jan. 31. She was taken off life support last week and transferred to a hospice in an Atlanta suburb. But even as Bobbi Kristina takes her final breaths, her extended family can't keep the peace.
Remember Tyler Perry's former employee who was arrested for stalking Perry after he was fired last year?
Well he's back.
A crazy rumored that was floated on social media appears to be taking legs within the media. Word has it that Bobbi Kristina Brown's family will pull the plug on Feb. 11 — the 3rd anniversary of her mother Whitney Houston's tragic death by drowning. Bobbi was found face down and unresponsive (no heart beat, not breathing) in a bathtub at her Roswell home 2 weeks ago.
Joshua Sole is the type of pretty boy who director/playwright Tyler Perry prefers to cast in his films and plays. But the 27-year-old Dunwoody resident quickly wore out his welcome when he literally dropped into Perry's Atlanta area movie studio uninvited.

Anonymous review posted on
The case leaving the scene of an accident, minor incident with major judgement error. Mr. Blecher got the charges dropped and the case dismissed. As clients we supplied Mr. Blecher with relevant medical information that might impact the case, he used his expertise so he can represent us in absentia.
Posted by K
Jonathan Blecher is an awesome lawyer. I was scared and confused and depressed about my DUI. He explained everything to me and was always available for any questions I had, and I had many questions. He helped me from start to finish and was very professional and kind and helped me get my life back to normal.
Posted by mark
Jonathan was with me throughout my entire ordeal. he told me what to expect and what could happen. Jonathan was very professional and if you need someone in the 11th hour to get it right with the courts and prosecutors he is your man. only the utmost respect for him and the work he does
Posted by Olga
My sister contacted Mr. Bletcher for a consultation about defending a personal injury case. He immediately showed genuine care and interest, did some research and gave us the best possible advice for our situation. He also took the time to speak with us individually. We can't thank him enough for his kindness. We will definitely contact him, if we should ever need him.

I was afraid and did not know who to turn to after my accident; but, I am really glad I put my trust in Johnathan Belcher, the best defense attorney ever. Johnathan answered all of my questions and took care of all details; he clearly explained all procedures and all possible outcomes; and, most importantly, he got my charges reduced. Yes, his knowledge of the law, his tireless efforts, and his awesome results are priceless. I truly appreciate Johnathan Belcher; and, I am sure you will too.
Posted by Daniel
Mr. Blecher is a phenomenal lawyer. He's thorough, attentive to detail, smart, and he genuinely cares about his clients. From the moment I walked into his office and spoke to him I had a great feeling about him and his abilities as a defense lawyer. Everything he said would happen did happen and my case was dismissed without much of a fight from the state. I'd recommend him to anyone going through a DUI/BUI situation because he's a great man and most importantly, he's a winner!

After being very skeptical for dealing with a NY traffic lawyer I had a matter in Miami to deal with on a very short notice. I contacted Mr. Jonathan Burton Blecher and my matter was solved within a week. He was extremely professional and his price was fair and well deserved. I will recommend him to anyone.

This attorney answered a question concerning visas and how to be allowed into Canada with a dui conviction, or a dv arrest. It is very complicated law that he was able to explain to the rest of us criminal defense attorneys, with ease. Bravo!
Posted by Mark
Mr. Blecher was professional, intelligent, knowledgeable and engaged. He thoroughly assessed my DUI case, immediately finding jurisdictional issues, and clearly outlined the possible courses of action and their outcomes, which ultimately resulted in a reduced charge and minimal penalties.
Very professional and nice. Answered my question thouroughly.

DaniŌĆÖs Best Week Ever August 11, 2016: Creating Your Own Epcot Food and Wine Festival Experience
The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival kicks off in just about a month, September 14, 2016. But you don't have to wait until it's festival time to taste your way around the world. Personally, I feel it is a better experience and a better value to make your own food and wine festival type experience at Epcot. That's exactly what I did on my recent visit, and it turned out to be one of the best visits ever!
Though there was rain in the forecast, blue skies provided a lovely backdrop to the iconic view┬Āof Spaceship Earth as I arrived. I made a bee line through Future World; my stomach growled and would wait no more. World Showcase holds so many culinary treasures, even when it is not Food and Wine Festival time. Beverages and snacks at Epcot are very easy to come by. Practically every pavilion has at least one full service restaurant, one counter service restaurant, and at least one cart or stand along the promenade offering snacks or drinks, or both.
When it comes to exploring World Showcase from a culinary perspective, there is some debate as to which direction to start, either Mexico or Canada.┬ĀThere are advantages and disadvantages to both. On this visit I headed toward the Canada pavilion because I had a 2:00 PM FastPass+ selected for Frozen Ever After and planned to┬Āmy Epcot trip there.
United Kingdom and Canada Pavilions
Starting off with the Canada Pavilion is a bit rough if you arrive before 12:00 noon. The outside snack and beverage cart does not open until about 12:00 noon and the relatively new Trading Post Refreshments is currently unavailable ŌĆō slated to reopen by the end of August. So really, there aren't any snacks or beverages to enjoy here until later in the day.
Paul McKenna Band Leaving Epcot on November 20
The 2015 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival comes to an end today,┬ĀNovember 16, and Captain EO is retiring for good on December 6, but between those two closures there is another farewell that might go overlooked. The Paul McKenna Band will play their final set of acoustic folk music at Epcot's U.K. pavilion on Friday, November 20, 2015.
I caught up with the quartet, who posted on Twitter that they are returning to Scotland to record an album, after a recent afternoon performance. They said that they have no plans to return to Walt Disney World after next week, so if you are a Paul McKenna Band fan you only have a few days left to see them without having to fly across the pond.
It's fair to say that, although McKenna and company are talented performers who authentically represent their musical tradition, they never enjoyed the kind of cult-like popularity garnered by Off Kilter, the Canadian rock band that was controversially canceled prior to McKenna's debut.
In case you never had a chance to experience the Paul McKenna Band in person, I've immortalized one of their sets on YouTube for posterity:
Food and Wine Festival: Epcot vs. Busch Gardens
Look, I love Epcot, and because you're a faceless (but doubtlessly beautiful and well dressed) internet entity, I'm going to project and say you love Epcot, too, and one of the things we both love about it is the International Food and Wine Festival. What's not to love about food and adult beverages from all over the world amassed in one beautiful sunny location? But this year, for the first time, we have… other options. Saturdays and Sundays from March 7th to April 26th, Busch Gardens Tampa is having their very first Food and Wine Festival, and as a local who now has literally been wined and dined by both of her beloved theme parks, it's only fitting that I tell you what you're missing if you stay in Orlando, and what the differences are. Is this a "one is better than the other" situation? Given that the events take place at different times of the year in different locations with different offerings, not really. It's more my hope to let Epcot fans know that there's something else going on nearby in Florida now that they really might want to make a visit to when their tummies are a'rumblin' if they're on vacation. Hey, if you're gonna be a foodie, at least be an equal opportunity foodie!

Photo Review: A Meat-Eating, Scotch-Swilling Guide to the 2013 Epcot Food and Wine Festival
The 2013 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival winds down on November 11th, which means you only have one more weekend to enjoy World Showcase's 25+ tempting temporary victual and vino vendors. Earlier this snacking season, Daisy Lauren sampled some of the exotic fare found on this year's menus, and Derek Burgan went in-depth on this year's enhanced vegetarian options. But you — or your significant other — may not be fond of feasting of fancy foreign finger foods, much less meatles meals. Just in time for the festival's final days, here is a photographic guide to my top 2013 Epcot Food and Wine Festival finds for carnivorous men and women who crave the simple pleasures of charred flesh, perhaps served with a side of spirits.
Opa! A Celebration of Greece Coming this May to Disneyland Resort
Between the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival and its newly expanded Flower & Garden Festival, it seems like Walt Disney World gets to have all the fun where cultural celebrations are concerned. But last week the Disneyland Resort announced that it would soon be getting some international excitement of its own.
For the weekend of May 25-27 (10am to 6pm daily), Opa! A Celebration of Greece will bring authentic Greek music, dance, art, food, history, and more to both parks at the Disneyland Resort. Activities will take place in both ŌĆ£itŌĆÖs a small worldŌĆØ Mall in Disneyland park and Paradise Gardens in Disney California Adventure park.
Terra, Everyone's Favorite Vegan Marketplace
The Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is many things. A drinker's paradise, an adventurous eater's heaven, and a vegan's worst nightmare. I know, it's blasphemy to not be completely head-over-heels in love with the yearly foodfest that draws so many visitors to The World Showcase Promenade, so hate me if you must. I have to admit that up until this year, the Food & Wine Festival was probably my least favorite time of the year at Walt Disney World. Why, you ask? It boiled down to pure jealousy. Hearing everyone rave about all of the options they were exploring from different countries, spooning edible culture into their mouths as I sat chomping on a plain pretzel just seemed unfair. That is, of course, until this year.
Now, I can't claim to have singlehandedly strong-armed Epcot into having vegan options at the International Food & Wine Festival. However, I also can't deny sending numerous e-mails, and making a few (ok, a lot of) "suggestions" regarding the lack of vegan options available around the 'Showcase. And as Disney magic would have it, the fine folks at F&W dreamed up Terra, a brand new marketplace for 2012 in which all of the food options, yes, I said all of the food options, are vegan!
The marketplace itself is presented by Gardein, a brand of mock meats with which I am quite well acquainted. Gardein is a favorite among vegans for meat alternatives, and offers meatless meatballs, chick'n strips, and barbecue riblets just to name a few. The Terra menu features two items: Trick'n Chick'n Curry and Chili Colorado, each priced at $3.75. Each item is paired with a wine option, but please be forewarned: neither of the wines offered, the Paul Dolan Sauvignon Blanc nor the Paul Dolan Pinot Noir is vegan. The Honest Kids Super Fruit Punch and Silk brand Berry Smoothie, however, are totally vegan so you can get your G-rated drink on!

First Look At the 2011 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Well, it will be in about a month and a half. ¤śē
Epcot Food and Wine Festival bookings begin today, August 16th, and even though the festival is still a month and a half away, it's always good to start planning early — especially when events book up as quickly as they do at the festival. I'll be doing a few guest blogs here at Touring Plans about the different parts of the festival, but I wanted to begin with an overview of what you can expect during the event.
Epcot and select restaurants around Walt Disney World
September 30-November 13, 2011
The largest food and wine festival in the world, the Epcot Food and Wine Festival will be celebrating it's 16th annual event this year. Accomplished chefs (including some celebrity chefs) from around the world join experts in in the culinary and beverage fields to present a series of events about a variety of "consumable" topics! Pair this with some fantastic Disney magic and some great food, and you have the Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
Overview — What You Can Expect at the Festival
With 45 full days of culinary adventure, there's a lot to talk about! I'll go into more detail in later posts, but to begin, let's cover the basics. Here are the major events, activities, and draws to the festival:
Special and Signature Events: Taking place in restaurants and event spaces around Epcot and the rest of Walt Disney World, these events range in cost from $55 to $495 and cover a gamut of topics including pizza and beer tastings, desserts and fireworks events, multi-course meals with celebrity chefs, and wine schools that offer a certificate of completion when you're finished! But there's so much more! You'll find more info on these events in our Special and Signature Events coverage over on DFB.
Low-Cost Seminars and Demonstrations: Ranging in price from $10-13, these events offer guests the opportunity to see a dish made by an expert chef in a show kitchen, learn about select wines and beers, or take a turn at the art of mixology. Culinary demos and beverage seminars usually last about 45 minutes and are often followed by a meet and greet, book signing, or bottle signing with the event presenter. See more details and what events are available in our low-cost seminar and demo coverage over on DFB.
International Marketplace Booths: These are considered by many to be the true draw of the Epcot Food and Wine Festival. 30 tasting booths set up around the World Showcase offer guests the chance to indulge in tapas-sized portions of regional and ethnic cuisine as well as sample some great wines, beers, and spirits from the represented countries. Prices for food and beverages range from $3-8, with larger beverages costing a bit more.
This, in my opinion, is the ultimate way to spend a meal during the festival — simply check the booth menus to decide what you want to try, then spend an hour noshing around the World Showcase! It's lovely. But here's a tip — in the evenings and on weekends the booths start to develop long lines. If you head to the booths when they first open at 11am, you won't have to battle the crowds quite as much.
New booths being introduced this year are Hawaii, the Caribbean, Portugal (with its own wine bar!), and Scandinavia (returning from a hiatus). You can see full menus and details about the booths (including food pics) at our World Showcase Booths page.
As you can see, there's a lot to do at the festival with just those three types of events, but there's a lot more where that came from. I'll be back with you soon to detail those different opportunities and give you a few more tips and tricks about the Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
You can book special events and seminars starting today — August 16th — by calling 407-WDW-FEST! If you're a Tables in Wonderland member, Disney Vacation Club member, or Annual Passholder for Walt Disney World, you'll get a discount on seminars and demos offered Monday-Thursday — don't forget to ask!

Launched in March 2016 from Obverse Books, The Black Archive is a series of book-length looks at single Doctor Who stories from 1963 to the present day.
The Archive will publish six titles each year, in simultaneous digital and print editions. Each title is a twenty to forty thousand word study of a single televised Doctor Who story, drawing on all eras of the series' history.
Series editor Philip Purser-Hallard explains the premise of the series as follows:
'Doctor Who is endlessly fascinating, a powerful storytelling engine about which many millions of words have been written over the years. There are certain stories, though, from all eras of the programme's history, which are exceptionally deep and rewarding – whether because of their unusually powerful writing, rich symbolism or complex themes. Stories like The Massacre, Kinda, Ghost Light, Midnight or Vincent and the Doctor demand to be explored at greater length and in more depth than a website review or entry in an episode guide.
'With this series of critical monographs, these Doctor Who stories can receive the detailed treatment that they so eminently deserve. Our primary emphasis is on the stories as stories, rather than the behind-the-scenes history which has been covered in admirable depth elsewhere. While we aim to make an authoritative and significant contribution to the overall critical conversation about Doctor Who, we intend each of these books to be entertaining as well as of academic interest.'

From left to right, the panel included Terri Lyne Carrington, Lizz Wright, Jimmy Heath and Antonio Hart.
Every year, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation throws a concert and panel discussion as part of its annual conference. It's notable not only as a musical event — this year's show features drummer Terri Lyne Carrington's take on the classic album Money Jungle, featuring vocalist Lizz Wright, as well as alto saxophonist Antonio Hart's quintet with special guest Jimmy Heath — but also as a cultural one. In this century, anyway, it's become surprisingly uncommon to see documentation of black jazz artists performing for primarily black audiences.

Staff was very accommodating and friendly.
Rooms weren't cleaned very well the hotel was being remodeled however you would think they would have at least vacuum the rooms. They had scrapped the "pop corn" off of the ceiling and it was laying EVERY where! There were dirty towels that lay out side a room in the hall the entire time we were there. There were cigarette burns in the comforter ina Non-smoking room. The carpet was pulled back from the walls and there was dirt caked in it. Waiting in line to check out, the man in front of me was explaining that their toilet was leaking & had been leaking all night, that their bathroom floor was all wet. The clerk apologized for the mess but never once offered a new room or to clean it. She simply said "well we noticed that the other day, we think there was a pipe loose behind the toilet causing it to leak" When the man asked someone to come look at it, the maintenance man that was standing there said "yea, I suppose" I am sorry but it is your job to fix these things for your guests!!! Do not act like he was inconvienencing you to fix the toilet in his room! Not to mention, you noticed the leak a few days ago but continued to book the room?! I understand they are making an effort to fix up the hotel for future guests. However, you may want to get some better customer service As well. I would expect to see small messes in areas that are currently being remodeled. I would also expect you to vacuum and make some effort to make these areas presentable, or not book them.
Hotel was in middle of remodeling so it was dusty in rooms and sofa was damaged but service was good
The hotel was under construction so I'm sure it will be improving but there were things that were dirty that shouldn't be affected despite construction. There was mold on the shower curtain, wallpaper peeling off the wall and the carpet was very sticky in several places.
The room they put us in at first was not up to date. the sleeper sofa was worn out and had a hole in the mattress the carpet was dirty. Went to the front desk and told them about the problem they moved me and my family to a different room. the second room was much better expect for the used bar of soap found in the shower the microwave was out of date look like it was from the 1940's. The breakfast was not all that great because even though breakfast started at 6 they didn't have nothing out but waffles and cereal, there was no eggs or bacon out. I will not be coming back here ever again. the pool didn't look safe for my kids... not a hotel I would recommend at all... if you see this please don't book it, its nothing like the pictures at all...

NASA Killed A Cancer Cure, Suit Alleges
The world may have known a cure to cancer ... if only that darn Columbia space shuttle didn't disintegrate over Texas six years ago and if only NASA had been a little more careful taking care of the cargo and debris that landed back on earth.
At least that's what a Pennsylvania company is arguing.
According to a lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania federal court against the United States of America, a company called Instrumentation Technology Associates, Inc. claims that its experiments involving protein crystals, designed to create a drug that inhibits the spread of cancer, were aboard the fated Columbia shuttle and landed in a Nacogdoches parking lot after the craft fell apart during re-entry.
By some miracle, the crystals survived the landing, but were extremely temperature sensitive. Within 24 hours, the company claims, it asked NASA if it could get its hands on the experiment before the crystals melted. But apparently, NASA said 'No,' and moved the experiment to Kennedy Space Center in a non-temperature controlled environment. By the time NASA returned the experiment to the company three months later, the crystals were a loss.

The company had sent similar experiments onboard previous space shuttle missions and had reached a point, according to the lawsuit, that the crystals, which grew better in a no-gravity environment, were usable for cancer research back on terra firma. NASA has also prohibited the company from sending similar experiments aboard subsequent space missions in hopes of picking up where the research left off, the lawsuit states.
Instrumentation Technology Associates initially filed a lawsuit in 2004, but has subsequently amended its claim over the years. It is seeking more than $21 million in damages.
NASA spokesmen were not immediately available for comment. We'll let you know if they chime in.
Update: NASA spokeswoman Katherine Trinidad says NASA does not comment on pending litigation.
