The one thing you learn when you spend time around UK politics, is the never-ending talk about the alleged UK-US "special relationship". Tony Blair sucked up to that with his uncritical support of the US invasion in Iraq and whenever the slightest doubt about European integration is voiced from US politicians, you can be sure that UK politicians take it up – and defend their "special relationship". Obama's great speech in Berlin yesterday should once and for all put things straight: If anyone then Germany is the US's first partner in Europe. It is by far its biggest economy, it holds key positions both in NATO and the EU and it is at the heart of Europe. If any one country makes sense to be a broker for the US in Europe it would be Germany. But if I was US president, I would obviously let the Brits in their belief of the special bond. – Yo Brits, follow where we tell.
But besides the (right) symbolical choice for the delivery of Obama's speech in Berlin, the speech itself was actually good. There are three things that I will keep remembering. First was his insistence on freedom. "Freiheit" is a notion that is unfortunately not a key value in German politics. There is too much talk of protection and too little insistence on the rights (and responsibility) of the individual. I hope that a future president Obama can convince the Germans (and Europeans?) of the greatness of freedom as a value. The second message which was going far beyong than what I had expected was his call to bury nuclear weapons. Obviously this was a key reference to the Iranian nuclear programme but he did not claim anywhere that the US was excluded from his goal. Thirdly, Obama was calling on all societies to value immigration. This is probably taken for granted in the US, but for (half of) the German psyche this idea is still to be swallowed. I hope that in particular Merkel's CDU got this point – and new inspiration.

The Bush right-wing talking heads are complaining that Obama talked too much about the Berliners and their tribulations during the Berlin Airlift – and not enough about American military power. That's punctuates the trouble with the Bush right-wing, looking down at others and only bring concern about the American end of the "partnership." Barack should have gloated more about American power and less about our "allies."
Second – I am glad that Barack brought up immigration and his African father. He did this in the heart of Europe in the backdrop of the harsh and punitive "Return" Directive, which allows Member States to jail illegal immigrants for 18 months and the ban them European Continent for five years. Also, down in Italy, we are seeing the abuse of the Roma in a manner not witnessed since the end of WWII. Barack included this story about his father in the backdrop the building of Fortress Europe and the coming of harsh immigration policies sweeping the continent. This was a much needed part of Barack's speech toward Europe.
It is hoped that when President Obama takes office, he will challenge Europe on the growing number of harsh and punitive immigration policies…

Agh, you were taken in with the rhetoric too! OK, Obama is a master speech maker, but the words struck me as being rather empty, don't you think? Spend some time in the USA and then you'll have a different conception of 'Freiheit' or the lack of it.
As for the special relationship – I agree that the Brits have got it wrong for a long time.

You are right – the Brits do need the comfort blanket of a US – UK special relationship, and they have for a long time not really appreciated that this "special relationship" might not necessarily be the most important European relationship for the USA. Mind you that's not all the Brits (well most of my fellow countrymen and women) have got seriously wrong…

There is nothing 'special' about the special relationship. It has been a one sided affair for along time, one that helps keep Europe divided. The USA now uses NATO and the special relationship to divide and prevent a more constructive European defence policy.
Ironically, its in the USA own intrest to have a strong Europe, but at the same time they have got use to having European nations follow its lead….a result of the Cold War.
Saying that, the UK has alot more leverage that it realises. Alot of those US military bases around the world are on UK territory!

Thanks for helping!
Beautiful restaurant to see a sunset. Food was delicious and presentation awesome. Service was wonderful too. Will go back!
We enjoyed thie food, but the continuing stream of people trying to sell their goods is just too much. It might be better if you sit on the deck and not the beach. Good service, friendly staff.
We walked from Samba to Mar y Sol for lunch. The food was amazing and the staff exceptional! And our table was right on the beach.
Excellent service and dinner, I will recommend to all
our friends.
Food was served in a timely manner, drinks were perfect
couldn't ask for better.
Once again we were not disappointed in Mar y Sol. Third time to eat here and it was still delicious. The chicken pasta and chicken fajitas were great. Service is always good. We go at sunset for gorgeous photos. Don't want to miss this. They do have a lot of "salesmen" come around to your table but just say no...
one of the things I enjoy when in Bucerias, MX. I have had lunch there several times and it is always good. Today, I had corn soft shell tacos (beef) and they were great! In the past I have had fajitas and they are always good. The service was ok, too. This is Mexico and things are a little slower...
Lunch on the beach today was yummy. Good shrimp tacos and shrimp salad in avocados. Definitely the strongest drinks we've been served. We wanted to watch the surf which was high today. If you prefer to eat without being importuned every 2 minutes by trinket vendors, stay up in the palapa and off the sand.
Party of 5 had drinks at this restaurant. It is located on the beach with great view of beach and ocean. Beers and margaritas were very reasonable. We munched on chips and guacamole. The guacamole was freshly-made there and was really good.
Drinks always cold. Had fish and chips which was generous and hot. Wife had fish dinner, said it was enjoyable.
However, it you need to eat and go within two hours, go elsewhere. They can be painfully slow!
Very busy. Prepare yourself to wait for a while. The food is ok but not the best. People seem to like it but I still prefer Fat Boys. El Gordo.

You could develop a java applet/script if local processing is necessary on the client, but if you can outsource all tasks to the server you will gain maximum compatibility. A typical php page without java/flash/scripts is so compatible it will work on every cell phone, even on video game consoles, TV settop boxes and so on.
The best benefit however is that it will also run on company computers. Keep in mind that company computers are often restricted heavily, so users do not have plugins or java runtimes installed. If you want to be sure to reach them a "barrier free" solution would be best.
So if your aim is to develop the most compatible webbased solutions for all audiences the best language is imho PHP and keeping it all server sided. For database access php was kind of "made" as php kind of "lives" from the associated sql database. I dont know what you understand with "sophisticated graphics", but there are loads of open source applications available for the typical linux based php/apache/sql webserver as most hosting companies offer them. If you have rroot access you can use hundreds of out-of-the-box solutions, sites like sourceforge are bursting with these. I am still drooling about ffmpeg-php which is imho one of the most powerfull webbased video processing libraries ever. I am sure for your graphics needs you can also find something suitable.
.net can also be an option as asp.net (php counterpart), but for flexibility you get like 10 times more sources and applications for php, so this would be the better decision in the long run.

In December of 2012, RAIN took on a student learning center and dormitory in the northern city of Agadez in Niger. The center is a place where nomadic students, especially girls, can find the opportunity to continue their education beyond primary school not available in the remote hamlets in which they live. We know that keeping girls in school is important to you, and would like to introduce you to the students at the center and share some of the programs we have planned for the next year.
Niger Program Director Brian Nowak and Halima Aboubacar, Specialist for the Promotion of Women and Children, spent extended time onsite this spring to gain a good sense of the students' needs and interests. These children of the desert are away from home in a foreign place, a city of 30,000 people. They are used to the open air, to the stars and the winds. To learn here, they must feel comfortable and cared for. The Learning Center is a place where they live; where they eat, sleep, bathe and study. It is their home for two to three years.
While scholarship remains the primary goal of the program, we plan to include workshops focusing on leadership and roles in society. Nomadic rural populations in Niger are on the fringe of society, and we feel it's important to instill skills of engagement with which to represent themselves in their country. Another important goal is providing, in addition to academic tutoring, the same life guidance our mentors provide to girls in our mentoring programs. We hope to bring in new mentors, drawing upon the women in our Agadez leather artisan cooperative, to receive mentoring training and meet with the students each week. This year we will be expanding the budding recreational program to include instruction in leatherwork for Tuareg girls as well as the current embroidery activities provided for the Wodaabe students, to be provided by the mentors. The students plan on decorating their domitory with their crafts, and certain items will be brought to market in Agadez to generate spending money for them.
Last fall, Halima Aboubacar joined the RAIN team. A Tuareg woman, Halima co-taught along with Brian last year nutrition and hygiene to women gardeners and mentors in partner communities. Now relocating to Agadez, Halima will become a regular presence at the learning center, overseeing the mentoring and practical skills programs. Caring, yet an effective disciplinarian, the students know trust her; many of the girls call on her with questions and concerns.
We are thrilled that we are seeing mentored girls become the first girls in their communities ever to graduate primary school. For the upcoming school year, we plan to invite these girls to the learning center program as spaces become available so they may follow their success by going onto middle school.
The Niger school system is based on the French system, which starts with six years of primary school (1 - 6), followed by four years of middle school (7– 10), then three years of high school (11 –13). Beyond middle school, nomadic students must then go on to the capital of Niamey to attend high school. RAIN plans on creating a fund to support these students as they graduate from middle school and transition from the learning center.
Investing in a girl's future is investing in the world's future. Girls that stay in school delay marriage, have fewer children and earn higher incomes. The rural poor of Niger are marginalized, but with more educated citizens will be more empowered. As RAIN expands the center and is able to recruit increasing numbers of students, we expect to set a new precedent in Niger and inspire the government as well as other NGO's to open similar centers for nomadic children.
Intrigued? Visit our project page! We have until October 28th to raise $5,000 on GlobalGiving for this project.
RAIN programs are all about mutual support between families and community members and there is no program for which that is more so than the mentoring program. On their last visit to Iferouane, a community in the remote northern Air Massif - the homeland of Niger's nomadic Tuareg people, our staff caught up with two women bound together by RAIN - a mother and her daughter's mentor.
Tanalher: A mother on her own
Tanalher Illias is a mother of eight children and three adopted children. She lost her husband in 2009 and is now raising the children on her own. She's doing her best to eke out a living from the garden she inherited from her husband, but it's a challenge. Despite her hardships, Tanalher enrolled her ten school-age children in school. One of her daughters, Fatima, is a student in RAIN's mentoring program. Tanalher does everything she can to help her children despite the difficulties she faces. She exists on the edge; her struggle is constant. Tanalher related to RAIN staff that her daughter's mentor, Assalama Attaher, has taken on the task of supporting Fatima through school.
"I hope all my daughters can take part in the mentoring program one day with mentors like Assalama."
Assalama: The RAIN mentor who goes above and beyond
Assalama Attaher is a midwife and volunteer RAIN mentor. She is devoted to her village, known for her services even during conflicts and displacements, saving many lives. Though Assalama is poor, her famliy enjoys a level of security that most of her neighbors in Iferouane do not. She has chosen independently of RAIN to further support the children she mentors, including Tanalher's daughter Fatima, by funding their school expenses and providing food and other necessities when needed. Assalama says that she makes this gift to her group of students to encourage them to stay in school and work hard.
"I call upon all the women in Iferouane to do good for their children, and for all the children in their community. "
It's these everyday stories of dedicated parents, mentors and entire communities working together that makes RAIN happen in Niger. Your contribution helps to bring mentoring to more rural women and girls in need. Thank you!
The village of Gougaram, remotely located at the gate of the Saharan Air Mountains in northern Niger, has experienced incredible challenges in this already hostile landscape. In addition to constant threats of food shortage and drought, the majority of Gougaram fled during the conflict with the previous government, settling in makeshift refugee camps on the outskirts of the uranium mining city of Arlit. After the conflict, the Gougaram community returned to a devastated landscape with a government military camp established in the center of the village. Distancing themselves from the military, residents settled in several hamlets across a two-mile radius around the local elementary school.
In part due to your generous support, RAIN mentors immediately tackled the challenge of getting their school back on track after returning from the refugee camps. For the past three years, Gougaram women have succeeded as mentors and role models, encouraging their community to focus on education and community development. Twelve women from five different hamlets are engaging their communities in important conversations about the value of education, the pitfalls of early marriage for young girls, and hygiene and health issues.
Your support also provides the opportunity for at-risk girls in Gougaram to benefit from counseling, awareness raising group discussions, advocacy at the school and family level, and important practical skills training in traditional crafts. The women of Gougaram proudly announced to RAIN staff that all twelve girls in their final year of elementary school graduated this year, thanks to the mentoring program.
In Niger, rural children rarely finish the six-year elementary school cycle, which is based on the French system. Most rural villages that are lucky enough to have an elementary school are forced to send children to towns and cities if they want to continue studying onto middle school. At the end of the 2011-12 school year, twelve girls have set a precedent as role models for younger girls, demonstrating the impact and success of the mentoring program as they braved the necessary relocations in order to continue their education.
We met 15 year-old Mariama, a student in our Gougaram mentoring program, during her winter break. Mariama was proud to show us her leather work, including finishing the final decorations for a tea bag for her aunt was working on. Practical skills training that includes artisan craft workshops are an important way to reinforce local traditional activities while providing the girls with a way to earn some money.
Mariama explained how her practical skills training allowed her to improve her life while in school. "My father gave me some money upon leaving for college in Arlit. I purchased some leather and made leather key chains to sell in town. So far, I've sold six key chains for 500cfa each (~$1 each). I bought food with this money." The skills that girls like Mariama learn from their mentors help them to continue their education while feeling more independent and responsible.
These women and young girls are grateful for your concern and the support you've given them so they may get a "leg up" in difficult times. Women and children can only show their thanks through their stories, photos, and smiles of success as they take the lead in improving the lives of their families and neighbors. At RAIN, we wish we could share with you the gifts of goat cheese and camel milk offered to our staff during fieldwork missions, as they truly represent the culture of thanks and giving in demonstration of their deep gratitude!
The primary school in the Seiga community of the Niger region of Tillaberi has had a history of hardship and resistance to education. In 2010, RAIN implemented a mentoring program to help enroll and follow students through difficulties they face in attending school from the family, community, and economic pressures. Towards the end of 2011, we increased the number of women mentors from 5 to 20, creating the largest team of RAIN mentors ever organized.
After receiving training about the importance of education and how to handle special family issues, the group of new mentors spent the summer visiting surrounding rural families - leading to the recruitment of the largest first grade class Seiga has ever seen. This year, 17 girls and 17 boys, for a total of 34 new students, filled the classroom - setting a new precedent that the mentors hope will continue into the future.
To sustain the program and help the mentors support their families, the women received animals from RAIN to start several income generating activities. One activity is a practice known locally as embouche. A ram is steadily fed a larger and larger amount of food in preparation for sale during Tabaski, one of the most important holidays of the year, requiring Nigerien families to "sacrifice" a ram for food in honor of Abraham. Another activity is creating mineral salt licks to sell for income and improve the health of their own animals as they tend and breed a herd of goats for food and income. The average first earnings among each mentor was $60-100, a large amount of money in Niger. For example, mentor president Aminatou Salanou was able to bring her desperately ill husband to the local health clinic with income earned from RAIN activities.
"After seeing my husband on the bed, becoming worse and worse each day, barely able to move, I grew despairing. There was nothing I could do." Aminatou shared. "Thanks to the money I've earned, I could pay for his stay at the local health clinic and the medicine needed to treat him until he became healthy again. I thank RAIN as well as all who support RAIN. It makes me happy to think that income producing projects such as these will help my family in situations like this in the future."
Happy Holidays from all of us and all your friends in Niger!
Two nomadic girls in Akokan were at-risk, now they're succeeding with your help.
Azahara Mohamed
Azahara Mohamed is a student in the RAIN mentoring program in the nomadic community of Akokan, located in the remote northern area of Arlit. Azahara is from a very vulnerable family, whose mother is on her own in raising Azahara and her three brothers by cleaning homes in the city. Many of her girlfriends who were not in school influenced her to attend infrequently and fall behind in her studies when she first began in the mentoring program. Her mentor has counseled her in life issues and has taught her how to embroider sheets, a skill which she is now employing to sell sheets to local women, helping her mother to support their family.
Fatima Moussa
Fatima Moussa is a nomadic girl identified by RAIN as having a high risk of dropping out of school, and was enrolled in the mentoring program. At first, Fatima was a serious student, ranked fourth in her class. Suddenly, she stopped taking notes, was frequently absent and her grades began to fall. Her mentor, Mariama Moussa, asked her what was happening. Fatima disclosed that her parents were discouraging her from attending school, already earmarking her to marry. Her mentor talked with her parents about the importance of girls' education and the consequences of early marriage. Fatima's parents thanked Mariama for her work as a mentor and for raising their awareness.
Now, Fatima is back to working hard in school, and for the 2011-2012 school year, ranked in the top five of her class, passing her examinations to proceed onto the next level.
Recently, a friend of Fatima who married very early had to undergo a surgical operation to survive her first delivery. Together with Fatima's success in school, awareness has been raised on the part of the community about the consequences for young girls engaging in early marriage and pregnancy. In Akokan, more parents are now coming forward to assert that their daughters finish their studies before considering marriage.
Akokan Mentors
Stories of success aren't only for the girls - but for the mentors helping them, too.
The Akokan women's mentor group of Arlit first began in 2005. Since then, they've come to know and trust each other, and have created a strong partnership with the local school, supporting themselves and their program with a herd of goats provided by RAIN. The next goal: achieve sustainability for the 16 mentors and 82 at-risk girls for the next two years.
When asked what new activity they would like to pursue to generate more funds, the women expressed that creating a group enterprise would be difficult, that they prefer a program that will allow them to work independently. And so the idea of a savings and loan program to support each member's own enterprise was mutually proposed.
Income generating activities that these loans have supported include the practice of embouche (purchasing of a small goat that is then fattened to sell), making food products for sale at the local market, making and selling clothes, and augmenting the goat herds provided by RAIN. All members have reported a profit.
Encouraged by the Akokan women, RAIN hopes to initiate savings and loan programs in each of our partner communities to further support the development of livelihoods.

Another birthday we have this month is our little month is our sweet little Lily. She asked if I could make the Pokemon character named Skitty for her. There are some really clever people in this world--and I'm not one to reinvent the wheel...so to speak. So, I found the perfect pattern at Sabrina's Crochet. Thanks Sabrina, for saving me time--and well, just saving me--if you know what I mean.
Yeah, I know. Pokemon are very strange creatures.But this one wasn't so bad, in fact it was dang fun... and not nearly as weird as some of them that I've seen.
