AS THE school holiday draws closer to its end, and start of a new academic term, students and their parents alike are taking advantage of numerous 'back-to-school' bargains happening nationwide.
The Back-to-School Charity Expo 2014 at the Indoor Stadium in Berakas, organised by the KatakIjau Humanitarian Relief Support Group, which was launched yesterday,saw over 30 business vendors set up their booths with necessities currently on demand amongst schoolchildren.
Haji Idris bin Haji Mustapha of Syarikat M Cahaya Permai, is no stranger to bazaars and expos with five years of participation in all four districts.
At this time of the year, however, his booth at the bazaar has been set up with Ana Muslim products, a Malaysian brand of children's products designed to adopt the Islamic concept.
In an interview with the Bulletin, he revealed that "reception has been very good".
Catering to students with not just books and stationery, his booth also sells products like headscarves for all ages as well as Baju Kurong and other Islamic attire.
Since setting up his booth two days ago, the number of visitors and consumers at the bazaar has been encouraging.
He later shared that 10 per cent of the proceeds will go to charity as a symbol of support for the bazaar's cause, as well as a sign of gratitude to his customers.
Meanwhile, other vendors participating in the bazaar are offering a range of products, including clothing, footwear, kitchen necessities as well as a selection of food products.
Other activities are also been lined upfor children to enjoy, including face-painting, Zumba fitness, cat showcase, hand henna, colouring contests, a Tamiya Mini 4WD Competition, 4×4 and Mini Cooper Car Showcase, Fixie Bike Challenge as well as a blood donation drive.
The Back-to-School Charity Expo 2014 will run until January 4, from 10am to 10pm from Monday to Sunday and 10am-11.45am and 2pm-10pm on Friday.

How does this organization make a difference?
Self-reported by organization
Coaching for College seeks to address two major problems within the Shaw community; poor academic achievement and scarcity of positive role models. Coaching for College seeks to improve the academic performance of youth participating through weekly one-on-one academic tutoring sessions customized to each student's individual needs. The weekly academic tutoring equips students with tools needed to succeed in school now and in the future. Two coaches are assigned to each student to ensure participation in weekly tutoring sessions. Special workshops are held to enhance skills in studying, organization, writing and critical thinking. Coaching for College also develops and builds strong interpersonal relationships between mentors and youth participants by planning and implementing fun enrichment activities for students and their coaches. In many cases, coaches have continued to mentor the same student well beyond the one year minimum requirement. During the Summer Opportunities Initiative, Coaching for College identifies, coordinates, and funds paid internships and other summer enrichment activities such as camps and classes for participants to further their academic and career interests. Ultimately, Coaching for College strives to increase the number of inner city public school students attending college. In May 2006, a student who entered Coaching for College in 1999 with the first group of program participants graduated from college (Maryland Institute College of Art).

Program 1
Volunteer Programs
Coaching for College currently operates three volunteer driven programs for the students at Shaw Middle School: Tutoring and Mentoring Program, the Summer Opportunities Initiative, and a Weekday Program. 1. Tutoring and Mentoring Program consists of weekly, personalized academic tutoring and mentoring activities, including special events and field trips for participants on Saturday mornings from 10 am - 12 pm during the academic year. a. Tutoring: The weekly academic tutoring equips students with tools needed to succeed in school and in the real world such as study, writing and critical thinking skills. In addition, students are encouraged to bring homework and other school projects to ensure understanding and completion of work. Two coaches are assigned to each student to ensure that weekly tutoring sessions always occur. b. Mentoring: Coaching for College recognizes that students may need more than extra academic instruction to put them on track towards achieving their goals and strives to cultivate mentors as positive role-model for students. Therefore, coaches are encouraged to build lasting mentoring relationships with their students by participating in activities such as educational field trips, activities, career fairs, and other enjoyable activities while displaying positive behaviors and goal settings. c. Coaching: Coaching for College strives to empower students to actualize and realize their dreams and aspirations. Therefore, coaches continually work with their students on standardized test preparation, internship and career exploration, and college planning. To further address students' academic needs, Coaching for College consistently communicates with teachers regarding student progress, utilizes school resources, and contacts and involves parents to participate in developing adequate goals for the students. Mentors receive a weekly email and/or communication from Coaching for College staff to update them about program announcements and changes, helpful hints and suggestions, activity ideas, and events and activities sponsored by Coaching for College that they can participate in with their students. 2. Summer Opportunities Initiative identifies, coordinates, and funds paid internships and other summer enrichment activities such as camps and classes for selected participants to further their academic and career interests. During the summer, Coaching for College meets weekly with participants to provide guidance and support in their new experiences. 3. Weekday Evening Sessions were developed last year in partnership with the professional services firm Accenture to provide students with additional guidance on topics including resume writing, interviewing skills, and budgeting. Held once a month, these sessions were widely attended and will continue during the 2007-2008 school year. Currently, Coaching for College is working with more than 30 students.

In 2006, Coaching for College welcomed Nisha Anjali Sachdev as the organization's new full-time program director. Through her academic background, work experience and professional accomplishments she has proved her commitment to serve youth and their families, not only the District of Columbia, but also globally. Nisha received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Michigan, majoring in Psychology with a double minor in Spanish and Criminal Justice. She worked in a juvenile detention center in Pontiac, MI and then relocated to Washington, D.C. in 2003. While completing her Masters in Public Health focusing on Global Health Promotion at the George Washington University, she worked as a high school math teacher at Frost School, an alternative high school for children with social, emotional, and behavioral disorders. It was here Nisha experienced the lack of resources that faced youth in D.C. and surrounding areas. This led her to become a co-founder of Breaking the Cycle, an organization started with four recent D.C. high school students to increase college awareness and to assist at-risk students in achieving academic success. Her experiences locally are complemented by her accomplishments globally. As a consultant for UNICEF and through her work with the Ministry of Health of Trinidad and Tobago, she expanded her vision and knowledge of the needs and issues facing youth throughout the Latin American and Caribbean region. She developed the first adolescent reproductive policy for the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and also evaluated and provided policy recommendations at UNICEF for the implementation of a regional program promoting anti-violence. Nisha is working to strengthen Coaching for College's program offerings, develop links with the community, and provide students with the greatest opportunity for personal and academic success.

Praying the Psalms
Full Product Description
For many Christians, prayer is a humdrum "have-to" task they perform on autopilot--but it doesn't have to be that way. What if you knew you could see change and breakthrough as a result of your prayer life? What if prayer could bring you healing? What if praying could cause you to truly learn who you are and who you're meant to be?
The book of Psalms proves real prayer is anything but boring. The recorded prayers of David and the other psalmists are real, raw, edgy, and authentic, and through their example you will learn to express your deepest hopes, hurts, and fears in honest prayer.
By praying the psalms, you will learn how to identify and express your emotions before God in a healthy way. Through this journey, you will find intimacy with God, deeper community with others, and a new understanding of who you are.
Praying the Psalms by Stedman, Rick was published by Harvest House Publishers in October 2016. The ISBN for Praying the Psalms is 9780736960731.

Chapter XI: The VioletMature
It is a parent's job to keep their children safe from harm. The world is a terrible place for anyone to grow up in. Even the luxuries of a third world country offer many dangers and debaucheries.
-- Hari Patel
It was a sixty-year-old, aging house in downtown Toronto, away from the main streets. The house was clean, as a maid service had driven in that afternoon. They had left a golden sticker sealing the roll of toilet paper in both bathrooms. A receipt and feedback checklist had been left upon the kitchen counter.
One of the homeowners was cooking. He was alone in the house. His attention fixed upon the stove timer as it counted down the last few minutes that the lasagna had left.
The man's freckled hands were still holding a peeler and carrot. He lay them down next to the clean knife he had set aside. As the oven began to chime, he put on oven mitts and approached it. Within, lay a steaming tray of store-bought beef lasagna. The man put it on the stovetop to cool. Oven mitts came off. Beside the stove, he began to cut the carrot. His bare arms were hairy, with a red somewhere between the carrot and the lasagna's tomato sauce coating.
The sound of a car driving into the driveway.
He worked around the papers, never bothering to read it. Raw carrot sticks fell into an empty bowl, and they were joined by a splash of water. He placed the bowl upon the kitchen table.
He walked into the kitchen and grabbed two plates from a cupboard. Then, he opened a drawer and withdrew cutlery for two. Two drawers down, he took out a large utensil with a flat edge for serving and cutting the lasagna. It had the look of a trowel.
Kali wanted to be outside, working in her backyard. She wished she could be digging and planting in the vegetable garden. She'd be out all afternoon. However, the land was covered in ice and the hard soil was hard. And, always, there was something missing. The yard was small. The garden was smaller. She wanted a flowerbed.
Hari had convinced her that it was best to grow vegetables and, in doing so, to try their best to maintain a local diet. They both found it unreasonable that the grocery stores were filled with vegetables flown in from around the world, when some of Canada's best farmland was close by. However, it was being used for housing development. And, there was a certain carbon debt to consider when one's vegetables were trucked up from the United States or flown in from Australia.
He's a man of ethics, and I admire that about him, she assured herself. She was upstairs, in the study, reading. However, she was not focused on the harlequin romance novel in her hands. Instead, she kept looking out the window, down at the garden. The snowy yard was empty, and the snow fell over it in dunes. It looks almost… baked.
"Y're right, hun!" the man said definitively. He spoke with a brogue, "Shall I put it back in the oven?"
Hmm… Detective Wallace looked thoughtful. Finally, "No, let's eat. I've had a bad day at work." She stopped leaning over the lasagna, and took her seat.
He took her hand, forming a circle over the table and around the steaming lasagna. Together, they said a brief blessing over the food; "With this food you make us strong. To you our life and love belong. Thanks be to God. Amen."
A gust of cold wind. The crashing of a door.
"I'm sorry, Gwain, I thought I'd closed it firmly enough," Miss Wallace said as she parted hands with him and rose from the table. When she reached the door, she closed it before any more snow and wind got inside. She did not notice that her footprints up to the door outside, and upon the entranceway carpet, were too fresh given the falling snow and temperature inside. Precious warmth.
The curry simmered on the stove, shrimp and potatoes stirred together in a blend of rich spices. The table was set for three. Kali came downstairs quietly, in casual office clothes. Then, she remembered they were celebrating. She had a few spare minutes, thus she scampered upstairs to find one of her prettiest sari.
"Where is our son?" The booming temper of Hari Patel.
Not his best mood, Kali thought as she heard him shout, to nobody in particular, from the kitchen. She was upstairs, in their bedroom. The mirror reflected her trim figure, and the elegant clothing. Kali turned slightly, and decided to replace her hairpin.
The bejeweled butterfly clip was fragile. A wing had chipped off in the midst of unexpected lovemaking. However, she had glued it back on and maintained its elegance. Carefully, she clipped it into place with the aid of the tall, bedside mirror. Then, she withdrew the auburn fastening that had held everything in place. Though a few black strands of hair fell loose, the butterfly managed to clasp most of it neatly.
I look wonderful, Kali observed. She spent her last few moments before dinner relishing the vanity of the evening; the sleek, violet sari. And as the clock chimed seven, she quickly turned and started towards the stairs, "I'm on my way!"
Hari was seated, with an impatient frown. He wore a fine shirt. The letter from the publisher was at one end of the table, to be admired. Opposite the letter, a plate setting lay alone, empty.
"If he comes home smelling like hemp again, I'm gonna give him a—"
"Hush, darling. Let us enjoy this fine evening." Kali took her most soothing tone, and her arm reached for the dimmer switch. Ashok…
It was a shock to Mary Wallace, when she noticed the maid's note. Her son had been clean, or so she thought, all these years. He had been to parties. And he had experimented. However, she found it unbelievable that he might have a substance abuse problem. At least the maid had thought they were pharmaceuticals. Nevertheless, she had thought it was her duty to report it. And it was then, that Mary had the urge for another bite of comforting lasagna.
Did they overcharge us? Gwain Wallace read the stunned look on his wife's face, and knew not what it meant. As she handed him the note, his pharmacist's eye, accustomed to reading the cryptic writing of doctors, quickly deciphered the maid's cursive script. He stood up from the table, and followed his wife upstairs, to their son's room. The job search hasn't been this hard on him, has it?
The note referenced the exact location. A violet-shaped bowl sat on a low shelf in their son's closet. Within, lay four obsidian black capsules. No numbers inscribed. Several flat edges, and an overall oval shape.
Gwain Wallace stood more than a full six feet from the hardwood floor. He crouched, to his wife's level and with a quick look at the pills, "Not from any pharmacy, package or supplement. At least, not a North American one. Got any favors left at the crime lab, Mary?"
She smiled awkwardly, "Plenty."
Plenty. Twelve black pills, overshadowing the painted center of the violet.
Gwain took four.
Mary took the bowl, with the remaining eight. And then, she realized the absurdity of what they were doing. Their son was twenty-four. Even if he went to the occasional party, these could be anything. She frowned, "Male enhancement pills from the net?"
Gwain looked smug, "Our son?"
"You're right," she mused. "Not our son." Not Gavin.
"Let's begin with an amateur investigation to satisfy our curiosity. It'll only cost us one pill."
"Alright," Mary agreed with mild reluctance in her voice.
His fingers clenched the plastic halves of a single pill and pulled them apart. They slid away from each other, and then locked against something inside. His fingers twisted them, and they came apart over the corner of the bedroom's desk.
Gwain brought the halves closer to eye level, turned so that nothing fell out.
"I see nothing," she was sitting on her son's bed. "Tissue?"
The pharmacist nodded.
Mary pulled a tissue from a box on the desk, folded it twice, and flattened it against the desk. He tried to pour the contents onto the tissue. Nothing.
"If someone has already emptied these, there will be trace amounts in the shells," Mary suggested.
"What if the active ingredient is part of the shells?"
Mary folded the edges of the tissue up around it, incase there was anything on it. Then, she took the pill halves.
They left the room. And neither of them noticed the tiny sparkle hovering millimeters from the desk, at the spot where the pill had been opened. They hit the light switch, and it continued to shine, innocently giving off its own light. It scintillated, continuously, now as bright as any star in the sky, visible from the bedroom window.

8 quick fixes to boost your email marketing ROI
One of our team's favorite stats these days – and that's saying something, because we eat that stuff up around here – is that the average ROI for email marketing is 4300%. If you don't happen to spend most of your time researching marketing (don't we all?), that's really, really good. Like double-that-of-any-other-digital-channel good.
But if you find that your emails aren't paying off quite as well as you had hoped, never fear! Here are 8 simple methods you can use to improve your campaigns and achieve the crazy good ROI that makes email the most cost-effective strategy on the digital marketing scene.
1. Grow your list.
This one may seem obvious: The more people on your email list, the more people you can reach and the more people you can ultimately convert. But when the average list churns by 30% every year, it can be really difficult to keep yours growing.
What you need is a smart strategy to combat the natural churn your list faces. And a great way to quickly grow your list is to implement a lightbox-style signup form on your website. Using a lightbox form has helped Emma customers experience as much as a 700% lift in email signups! It's a simple strategy that gets big results.
2. Automate.
Automation is one of the most effective ways to send more timely, relevant messages to your audience. Plus, automated emails average 70.5% higher open rates and 152% higher click rates. Better results in less time – what's not to love?
If you're still not sold, consider this: Automating your emails also has a direct, concrete effect on your ROI. Companies using marketing automation see 53% higher conversion rates than non-users and an annualized revenue growth rate 3.1% higher than non-users (Aberdeen Group).
3. Rethink your "from" name.
In the hope of making their emails seem more personal, several brands have experimented with changing their "from" names to the names of individuals – "Jim Halpert" instead of "Dunder Mifflin," "Jake" instead of "State Farm," etc. Because humans like to hear from other humans more than they like to hear from brands... right?
Maybe not. If you're currently using a person's name as your "from" name and find that your open rates are low, it might be a good idea to change it to a more recognizable brand or company name. It's not that people don't respond well to emails from other humans; it's that seeing "from" information that isn't clearly related to someone they know can be a red flag for individuals who are growing increasingly wary of spammers in their inboxes. Make sure your recipients know they're getting emails from someone they actually asked to hear from by making your "from" information as crystal-clear as possible.
4. Target behavior.
Segmenting by demographics like age and gender is a great start for today's email marketer. But if you're looking for the best results possible, it's much more effective to segment your subscribers by behavior. Send your recipients targeted messages based on their purchase history and see your conversion rates skyrocket: 81% of US online shoppers are more likely to make purchases as a result of emails based on previous shopping behaviors and preferences (Harris Interactive).
Or target by email behavior: Send loyalty offers to those who consistently open your messages and re-engagement campaigns to those who never do. Either way, your subscribers will appreciate the super-targeted emails they're receiving and be more inclined to make purchases as a result.
5. Think mobile.
Over 50% of all email is opened on mobile devices, and checking email has become the #1 activity on smartphones. So it's incredibly important to make sure you're optimizing your emails for mobile; otherwise, you'll lose half your audience when they find out that your email doesn't render correctly on their iPhone or Android.
And be sure to optimize your landing pages for mobile, too! You might send the most beautiful, valuable, targeted email ever – but if the landing page you direct your subscribers to within that email can't convert because it's awful to navigate on a smartphone, all the hard work you put in will be wasted.
6. Use video.
Video is huge these days, and there's plenty of data out there that proves it. According to one study from Experian, embedding a video in emails increased conversion rates by 21%. And click rates improved 7-13% when marketers simply included "video" in the subject line of an email.
7. Test.
Testing everything from your CTA buttons to your subject lines gives you instant insight into what your audience likes and what they don't like. Maybe your CTA copy just isn't compelling enough. Maybe you aren't communicating the value of your email well enough in your subject line. You'll never know until you test different options, so test, test, and test again – you'll be able to craft emails that you already know your audience will love (and click on!) because you have the data to back it up!
8. Don't ignore existing customers.
Many marketers focus the majority of their efforts on wooing new prospects. But one of the smartest, most effective, and least expensive ways to find new customers is to utilize your existing ones.
Existing customers are a great resource for bringing in new business, especially when they refer their friends or share your content with people who would normally be beyond your reach. And since the probability of selling to an existing customer is 60-70%, they're an incredibly important segment of your audience to continually engage. Be sure to let them know you care with regular attention, special offers, and loyalty programs.
Have any other methods helped boost the ROI of your emails? Let us know in the comments!

2009 SES Coupe...driver side front seat Q?
Well, I finally took the plunge and bought a loaded 2009 SES coupe, 5-speed, black on black (with cloth) last Friday (6-5-09)!
So far I'm REALLY loving the car, and I'll be sure to post up some pics up here soon (even though I know you all have already seen one before
There have been a few quirks here and there, but that's to be expected with any new car because you need to get used to everything. So, with that said, I know no two cars are the same (especially when it comes to make and model), but there's one little thing that is driving my nuts with my new Focus. Every time that I lean the driver side front seat up to gain access to the back seat it doesn't go back to the position that I originally had it in. Now, just to check, I've tried using both levers on the side of the seat just to make sure that I wasn't doing it wrong, but they both do the same thing. On every car that I've owned in the past, the lever that is closest to the back seat is what you need to pull in order to lean the seat forward. Then, when you put the seat back, it returns to the seating position that you originally had it at. Now, I know that this isn't that big of a deal, but I put A LOT of things in my back seat during the course of a day, and it's becoming a real pain to have to READJUST my seat EVERYTIME I get in my car. So, if anyone can help, I just wanted to know if this is normal, or does it sound like something is wrong with my seat? THANKS!

Car aficionados appreciate the a trusted name built into each Chevrolet, and understand that only top quality repair Vega parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs on the road today. While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Chevrolet vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to repair your automobile. You bought your Vega because its dependability and value struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to great quality auto parts?
A properly functioning hydraulic brake system will ensure you can stop your car or truck when you want. That means your Chevrolet Vega brake lines or hoses cannot have any leaks or punctures in them. Hydraulic brake lines connect the brake master cylinder to the calipers and/or wheel cylinders on your car or truck. When you depress the brake pedal in your Chevrolet Vega, the brake fluid gets sent directly to the parts that stop your vehicle. If there's a leak in a brake hose, then your ability to stop will be greatly reduced.
Given all the hassles associated with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Bring your Vega back to life with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. If your car or truck was built in 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971, then you will find the correct Chevrolet Vega Brake Line & Hose parts right here.

Soaring up and over Down Under
It is 6.30am when the first rays of tropical sun catch the scarlet and gold fabric of the hot-air balloon, Koala. Suddenly, the Australian morning lights up. We're wafting silently 750 metres above neat fields of tobacco and maize, orchards of mango and lychee. Below are the fertile plains of the Atherton Tablelands and a lazy morning breeze seems to be steering us towards the virgin rainforest of Australia's Great Dividing Range.
'No worries,' says Clive. He's the relaxed chief pilot of Hot Air, the pioneering balloon company that takes tourists for dawn sails in the skies above tropical North Queensland. He tugs a lever and a roaring jet of flame spurts like a dragon's breath into the balloon. We ease higher, through a misty cloud.
With me on vast balloons sailing gently through the dawn were nine young Hong Kongers who had won a student ecological contest. Here, they were getting a kookaburra's-eye view of how agriculture, industry and tourism can flourish without overwhelming nature. It was an education they could never gain in the classroom.
You start the hot-air adventure at 4.30am when a minibus picks you up at your Cairns hotel. By 6pm, you are on the Atherton Tablelands, a rolling area of high downs 600 metres above sea level.
Light is just breaking in the mild winter morning as the crew starts firing life into the sleeping giants. The colourful material of the balloons is spread on the ground, their mouths gaping open as jets of burning gas are directed inside. As the hot air collects inside the tough fabric - half-canvas, half-plastic, by the feel, and said to be five times tougher than other balloon skins - the monsters gradually take shape.
When fully inflated with 9,840 cubic metres of hot air, Koala wafts as tall as a 10-storey building. The beaming grin on this balloon - the largest in Australia - stretches 40 metres from ear to ear.
Dangling below is a stout rattan gondola divided into four sections. There are four passengers to a section, making 16 nervous people ready to take to the air, plus the confident, competent pilot; Clive has flown more than 3,000 hours over 10 years and is the senior airman of the fleet. He knows what he's doing.
We clamber in. Clive gives us a safety and instructional briefing. He pulls the magic lever and a two-metre flame gushes into the balloon above us; I glance down at the ground which is suddenly four metres below me. We're rising soundlessly, without any bumps or sways. It's like going up in a slow invisible lift without a building.
This is about as close as you can get to sailing in the air. The only problem is, Clive murmurs, you can't steer. You go where the wind takes you. By controlling your elevation, you can often find breezes that are going your way.
Below, the orchards and crops merge into the sparse high country bushland. It's very different vegetation in the ranges a few kilometres away where daily downpours in this hot, humid corner of Australia have created the largest national park rainforest in the world. Like that other local wonder, the Great Barrier Reef, which can be seen from the jungle peaks, the rainforest is jealously protected.
Koala gains height. Suddenly, Clive announces, we're 600 metres above the lychee farms. Around us, a whole flock of orange, blue, green, scarlet and yellow globes are rising like some sort of strange mushrooms growing in mid-air; there are 13 balloons licensed to carry tourists operating around the town of Mareeba. The area is favoured because of the stable morning air conditions and its proximity to the year-round tourist influx in Cairns. The operators lose only 20 days flying a year because of bad weather.
The young Hong Kong ecologists are receiving an unbeatable view of how a well-maintained part of the planet is managed. The neat fields are interspersed with large areas of scrubland. Look closely, and you can see a group of kangaroos cease their rollicking motion and stop to look up at Koala.
Balloon adventures were just one sector of the imaginative programme devised by David Man and David Leung, the two travel industry professionals who three years ago founded an eco-awareness movement aimed at making Asian travel agents and their customers take more care of the planet.
You've got to start young, Mr Man proclaimed, aiming their first major project at Hong Kong students. The response to a challenge for youths to produce their own five-day eco-tourism programme for visitors to Hong Kong was an impressive success. About 700 entries came from scores of schools.
Most people might think an environmentalist-inspired visit to the crammed SAR would last five minutes, but 700 students who took part came up with vividly imaginative programmes. The nine students aloft on the Koala were the winners.
Their visit to Queensland - which has gained a reputation for being among the most eco-friendly travel industries on Earth - was busy. The students from crowded housing estates in one of the world's busiest cities saw sheep being shorn, went white-water rafting, trekked through the rainforest, swayed over the jungle on the world's longest scenic cable car, snorkelled among clouds of tropical fish on the Barrier Reef and tramped up a 200,000-year-old lava flow. They also visited the Cairns College of Technical, Advanced and Further Education where tourism courses with a strong ecological theme are part of the curriculum.
What did they learn? 'We can live in harmony with our planet,' contends Fu Hiu-lai, one of the student winners. 'But humans have to take care of our natural heritage. We must treat the world gently.' Next year, Mr Man and Mr Leung plan to organise a similar contest, which they hope will reach well past the borders of Hong Kong.
New Zealand's tourism industry has already indicated it might be interested in sponsoring the winners as its contribution to helping spread the environmental message to Asia.

Lilas Taha is a Palestinian woman who came to the U.S. around the time Iraq invaded Kuwait. Shantha Raguthaman is of Indian decent. Neither are what most Americans might picture in their minds when they think of Asians. But their agency, Asians Against Domestic Abuse, covers countries from the entire Asian continent.
"We provide services that are sensitive to those backgrounds, through advocates who are trained through multiple languages who are familiar with those different cultures."
If you include Middle Easterners as Asians, its understandable that a Middle Eastern woman who immigrates to the U.S. might not trust the system here, assuming that just as men treat women unequally in their home country they can do the same here. But both women adamantly say that's not true. They say women are treated equally in those countries and domestic abuse is not any greater there than in the US.
"It is not the norm. It is certainly not the norm. The problem is no different than mainstream America where there is a power struggle and abuse filters into it. The problem is breaking away from that power struggle."
Raghuthaman says it's the media that gives a distorted view of certain middle eastern countries. So I asked her about all the stories we've heard about women being treated like second class citizens and men treating women like property.
"But isn't that what they say about the Hispanic community? That the man is a macho image that is projected? Yes, but you hear its even worse in the Middle East. I don't think so."
The women did say that in some of those countries men are more likely to get away with abuse for a number of different reasons. Taha says their goal is to change the mindset of those women when they find themselves in that situation here in the U.S .
"They get trapped into thinking that it works the same way here so even if I call the police and try to reach out for help nobody's going to help me. They're going to side with him and I'll be left by myself"
Regardless of where they're from Japan, China, Iran, and Vietnam. They are women who need help. And regardless of what their culture does or doesn't allow, the agency wants the women to know that here in the U.S help is available and in most cases the justice system does work.

The following post is by MPFJ staff writer Travis. Travis is a customer blogger for Care One Debt Relief Services, and also appears weekly at Enemy of Debt. Travis candidly shares his personal journey to pay off $109,000 of credit card debt and the tips he's learned along the way. As a father and husband he provides a unique perspective on balancing debt, finances, and family.
My wife and I have been working through the process of refinancing our home over the last few months. Our current mortgage is split across two loans, the first being an adjustable rate mortgage, the second being an interest only home equity line of credit. This creative financing was done when we built the house to keep our payment as low as possible allowing us to build the house we wanted.
We are approaching the ten year mark when our home equity line of credit, as per the terms, will also be converted to an adjustable rate mortgage. With rates beginning to climb, we decided to investigate refinancing.
Refinancing Goals
Before our initial meeting with a mortgage banker, Vonnie and I made a list of goals and objectives we had for the refinance:
Affordable Monthly Payment: Our current monthly payment of our first and second mortgage combined is $1882. With the end of our debt management program less than two months away, we could swallow an increase in our montly payment, but we'd like to minimize it as much as possible.
One Mortgage Payment : We really wanted to get both loans combined into a single mortage. That way it's all under one loan, with the same terms.
Fixed Rate: With interest rates climbing, we want to lock in our interest rate for the life of the loan. We're done playing the adjustable rate game, and the interest only second mortgage has 20% of our mortgage making no progress towards the balance.
No Personal Mortgage Insurance (PMI): PMI is insurance for the lender in case you default. For the borrower it's like flushing money down the toilet each month, which we definitely do not want to do.
20 Year Term or Shorter: A 20 year term would have us paying off our home when we are 60 years old. It's scary to think we wouldn't own our home until we're that age, but it's still before retirement age.
The Options
After meeting with a mortgage banker at our bank regarding our we were presented with two different options to refinance our combined mortgage balance of $262,000.
Option 1: 30 year, fixed rate mortgage with PMI at 4.875%
This was the most conventional loan option presented to us. We would be required to pay PMI until our loan to house ratio was at 78%. We would pay $171 per month in PMI premiums for about 72 months if we didn't make any additional principal payments.
Monthly Payment: $2046
Total Interest + PMI: $255,056
Option 2: 30 year, fixed rate mortgage with no PMI but with a higher interest rate of 5.5%
The bank did have an option that did not require PMI, but to compensate for that the interest rate is higher.
Monthly Payment: $1977
Total Interest: $278,967
We decided to investigate further options, so we talked to a second bank which presented us with two additional options.
Option 3: 30 year fixed rate mortgage with no PMI but with a higher interest rate
Our second bank's PMI providers do not work with borrowers that are working with debt relief programs. They could, however, offer us a 30 year "in house" loan with no PMI, however it comes with a higher interest rate (5%).
Monthly Payment: $1923
Total Interest: $251,789
Option 4: Split Mortgage with no PMI
30 year fixed rate mortgage on 80% of loan at 4.75%
20 year fixed rate mortgage on 20% of loan at 5.99%
Combined Monthly Payment: $1957
Total Interest: $235,181
Because our monthly debt to income ratio is high until we complete our debt management plan, neither bank would offer us any mortgage options with a term of 20 years or less. Unfortunately, that meant that one of our goals would not be met.
As we worked through the underwriting process in parallel with both banks we were disappointed to be informed that the second bank declined to officially approve us for either of the two options our banker initially thought we had a chance with. Therefore we were left with only the first two options.
The Analysis
Both options one and two gave us a single affordable mortgage payment with a fixed rate. Option two did not have PMI, however in the long run would cost us $23,000 more in interest over the term of the loan. Given this analysis, we told our banker to move forward with option one.
It took several weeks of gathering additional tax forms, asset statements, and explanation forms for items on our credit report, but eventually the first bank did approve us for option #1.
The Final Numbers
The whole process took two and a half months, much longer than I had anticipated. Several payments were made as we navigated the mortgage refinance path, so our final numbers ended up being slightly different than originally projected:
Principal + Interest: $1400.00
Property Taxes: $ 340.00
Homeowner's Insurance: $ 119.00
Total: $2030.00
Our new payment is $148 higher than our current payment, but it's well worth it to have it all combined under a single fixed rate. Plus, after we reach a 78% loan to home value ratio, we can have PMI removed and our mortgage payment will be reduced to $1859, which is lower than what our payment is now.
The 20 Year Plan
It was all settled and our closing date was set, however one thing was missing from our mortgage refinance. Our new 30 year mortgage would mean we would have a house payment until we were 70 years old. Using a mortgage calculator we determined that we could have our mortgage paid off in 20 years by increasing our monthly payment manually by $300. This is easily within our reach once we complete our debt management plan at the end of February. Our first mortgage payment is due March 1st, and we plan to pay an extra $300 on our mortgage starting with the very first payment. The papers may describe the loan as a 30 year loan, but that doesn't mean we have to treat it that way.
On January 10th, we signed the papers and closed on our refinanced mortgage. We celebrated that evening with a movie and an inexpensive bottle of champagne knowing that we have one more piece of the puzzle in place towards getting our finances completely on track.
How about you all? Have you considered refinancing your home loan mortgage? Why or why not?

Most colleges don't plan to alter use of those off tenure-track and haven't figured out how to decide if coverage would be required under the Affordable Care Act, survey finds.
Complaint says college violated Title IX by refusing to allow a student dealing with a high-risk pregnancy and delivery to miss some classes without penalty.
Penn State angered faculty when it mandated biometric tests for those on health insurance. Now it's charging extra to those who use tobacco. Faculty members -- including those who don't smoke -- are furious.
Trenda Boyum-Breen offers advice on forging relationships that can help you do your current job or prepare for your next one.
Could delay in health coverage requirement change the way many colleges have been limiting adjunct hours?
After learning that a faculty member at San Jose State was found by the university to have inappropriately touched a student, many want to know why he's still teaching.
While other colleges have cut adjuncts' hours to avoid insurance mandates ahead of the Affordable Care Act taking effect, College of DuPage is offering some adjuncts coverage under a new "lecturer" designation.
Senior faculty members are one of higher education's overlooked assets -- one that colleges and universities can no longer afford to underappreciate, write Roger Baldwin and Michael Zeig.
More institutions limit adjuncts' hours in anticipation of federal guidelines, but advocacy groups warn that such moves are premature.
A Michigan community college is set to transition to performance pay -- using a model its president says could lead the way for other institutions to follow.

Comments about Women's Linen Three-quarter Sleeve Pintuck Blouse:
I purchased this top at less than half price and it was still poor value. The material is extremely thin and the colour looks washed out. It appears unevenly dyed which may be intentional, but is not apparent in the photographs.

text: It is interesting the B12 really does not take advantage of it's maximum potential for rivalry games. The NU - CU game is not really a rival game as seen in other conferences (yet any way). I posted the following, and it seems to make sense to me. (no flaming just discussing): "Yes, NU really has no real rival with the North-South division split as it is now. I say, (I know it will not happen) if the decision to reformulate the make of the B12 divisions was made, I would make East-West divisions or for that matter call them what ever you want. A great split would be: East: NU, Texas a&m, MU, Kansas St, TT and CU West: OU, Texas, Kansas, ISU, OSU and Baylor This keeps some of the basic rivals as set up when the B12 was formed: Such as OU - Texas and CU - NU (if you call it a rival game). Also each team would have an annual cross division game to be played every year. NU - OU, Texas a&m - Texas, MU - Kansas, Kansas St - ISU, OSU - TT and CU - Baylor. The rest of the teams would play each other with a rotating schedule much like it is now. This set up seems to have more overall balance based upon historical team records and preformance thru the years." Any comments? :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Sweet and Lowdown
It was 1979, a hair's breadth away from a quarter of a century ago, when the lowrider movement took root in Phoenix, one of the largest Chicano metropolises in the United States.
Originally, in Southern California during the '50s and '60s, the inches-off-the-ground, candy-colored, slow-rolling hoopties were a socially defiant response from the Chicano culture to the Wonder bread middle-class hot rod/muscle cars that defined the young bourgeois of the times. However, over the last 15 years, lowriders have become synonymous with high rollers, Cribs stars, and homies with mad ice on their fingers.
"Today corporate America has totally embraced the lowrider, in marketing, television commercials, print advertising, soda pop companies and candy bars," says Johnny Lozoya, promoter and mastermind of the 25th Annual Arizona Lowrider Super Show (and the previous 24 installments) this weekend at the Phoenix Civic Plaza. "MTV took the bull by the horns, so to speak, and put lowriders up on the screen of Middle America. Now, you have groups like Korn, Sugar Ray, Cypress Hill, that all use cars in their videos and their stage performances."
The Arizona Lowrider Super Show
Phoenix Civic Plaza, 111 North Third Street
Runs Saturday, August 16, and Sunday, August 17. Tickets are $17, available at the Phoenix Civic Plaza box office. Call 480-377-2001 for more information.
Somewhat surprisingly, Lozoya isn't bitter about the corporate co-opting of lowrider culture; he feels that the fact that it has become a global phenomenon, spread from Chile to Japan and beyond, demonstrates the quantification of lowrider culture's intrinsic value rather than simple gentrification. "There's no way it could be a sellout," he says. "It's progress, good ol' American progress."

The ultimate lowrider begins with a 1964 Chevy Impala (similar-era Caddies come a close second), which Lozoya prices at between $8,000 (for a "basket case") to upward of $19,000. The rationale behind the '64 Impala's street cred is socially and politically intriguing, if not historically verifiable. According to Lozoya, witnesses on record cite a mud-splashed early '60s Impala with a "Goldwater in '64" sticker as a vehicle that "fled" the scene of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. Lozoya credits the Hispanic community's intense affection toward JFK for the fascination with the '64 Impala, though he claims that the CIA and Secret Service both employed Impalas at the time. (The follow-up car, behind JFK's '64 Lincoln Continental Limousine, was a '56 Queen Mary Cadillac.) "We all embraced JFK as a great leader of this country, and then we embraced the vehicles that were around him, the Cadillacs and the '64 Impalas."
The Super Show features not only 400 bangin' lowriders for attendees to peruse, but also hydraulics competitions (including the phenomenal car dance -- "They'll be defying the laws of gravity -- it'll blow your mind," Lozoya says), hip-hop performances by local artists, an old-school "lowrider music" band, and artists ranging from graffiti writers to air brushers, and traditional Chicano artists exhibiting their wares.

7 Simple Ways to Detox Your Diet and Your Home (Page 13)
What You Can Do to Avoid BPA
- Store and reheat food in glass containers.
- Drink from reusable water bottles made of glass, stainless steel or BPA-free plastic. If plastic is labeled with a "7" recycling code and not marked BPA-free, it could contain the chemical. (Unless labeled BPA-free, aluminum bottles may be lined with the compound.)
BPA-Free Glass Water Bottles »
- If you use plastic containers, choose BPA-free, don't put them in the microwave and do hand wash them: a 2003 study found that plastic bottles released more BPA after they were cleaned in the dishwasher.
9 Green Products for a Healthy Kitchen »
- Opt for fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables whenever possible. For things like tuna, beans, broth and diced tomatoes, look for BPA-free packaging. Consider making broth and cooking and freezing beans.
- Switch to a pour-over ceramic or glass coffee maker, such as Melitta or Chemex, as electric makers made of plastic can leach BPA.

An M Pharmacy student of the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Lovely Professional University, Nitika Kaushal presented a research poster in Montreal, Canada, at 19th annual International meeting of International Society of Pharmacoeconomics and Research (ISPOR). Nitika was specially invited by ISPOR to elaborate her research on "Exaggerated Expiration Dates of Pharmaceuticals Enhancing Economic Burden on Health care system of a country". This research focuses on the unnecessary discarding of the drugs which usually remain safe and useful. Nitika proved that a large number of completely potent drugs are discarded because of the early expiry dates on the labels, thus incurring huge wastage of national resources. Nitika's research was highly appreciated by the experts who are working in the area of health care economics. In fact, ISPOR invites experts from different countries during their annual meeting to explore their ideas for the global health care of community.
On asking why the reincarnation of an expired drug is required, Nitika explained: "Medicines are usually found with full potency even after 5 years or more of their expiry dates. However, approximately 7 tons of medicines are torched/ discarded every year. Relevant studies tell that many billions of rupees can be saved every year by reincarnation of such expired medicines. So it is not justified to dump the expired medicines which are still potent and safe, particularly for much populated and underdeveloped Asian countries. Moreover this all needs simple fulfillment of regulatory requirements." She also added that this revival of so called expired medicines will not only scale down the requirement of fresh batches of costly drugs but also benefit the needy society.
With this research, LPU School of Pharmaceutical Sciences intends to bring awareness about such medicines to help patients. Such an initiative was also started In the USA in 1986 to test discarded drugs for their efficacy and safety. The financial benefits were calculated and depending on the data, re-labelling of the medicines was ordered. Presentation by Nitika at the international forum is the first step of LPU School of Pharmaceutical Sciences in this direction.
Congratulating the young researcher of the university, LPU Pro Chancellor Mrs Rashmi Mittal said that such research works are direly needed as these help society in large: " Our School of Pharmaceutical Sciences is coming out with many innovative researches for the general benefit of humanity. This research work of Nitika will certainly lessen the burden of costly medicines for much populated country like ours. Prior to this a medicine out of research work of the school to lessen the side effects during colon cancer treatment has already been patented. Another pharmacologist of the school has extracted medicine out of weeds to cure brain diseases."

Two years ago I had attended a party in Amsterdam hosted by the Ka-Ching Collectief and had enjoyed myself very much.
With our growing and active Leiden team we decided to join in with this annual event.
During the Etsy Craft Party people are organizing creative events worldwide!
Find out if there is a party in your neighbourhood here.
The theme for 2015 is: "Kaleidoscope: Paper Taking Shape".
We have translated the theme in 3 small workshops which we are currently preparing.
1: Making a landscape booklet
2: Using discarded books as material
3: 3D folding
Go and check our inspiration board on Pinterest. We found some great projects, albeit some way too ambitious for one afternoon.
We are taking into account that a lot of non-Dutch speaking people are also very fond of crafting so we are prepared on giving instructions in English.
Check out the EtsyShopsLeiden Facebook page for updates on the project preparations.
Here we are:
SATURDAY JUNE 6th from 2 pm to 5 pm
Handwerkstudio Leiden, Vollersgracht 14 in Leiden
Please do purchase a free ticket on Eventbrite beforehand, as we are limited in space.
* First 30 attendees arriving on June 6th will get a splendid Goodies Bag*

Best Cooler I Have Owned 05/16/2014
This review is from: CORSAIR Hydro Series H105 Extreme Performance 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler, CW-9060016-WW
Nice Appearance; Colored rings, Light up corsair logo
Silent Pump
Fans are great, quiet if you use motherboard to slow them down but they blow out heat with ease
Radiator is very large, 38mm thick
Tubing is thick but workable
No Included AMD Back Plate! You must have the one that originally came with your motherboard!
Other Thoughts:
The H105 was 5 degrees cooler than the h75 when i tested it on prime95, 6 degrees cooler than the h55!
I found a great deal at F.R.Y.S but even at neweggs price it is a great buy!

I have a story, but as with most of my stories, I have a beginning and a end with no middle. I just have a few scenes in between. And I have no idea how to connect them. How do I do that?
Group Manager
@iamkathybrown13 Well. It depends cuz it differs from stories. I would say, create a basic plotline and then let your characters guide you towards the end because nothing is really predictable. And if you have trouble with that, try writing a few scenes with your characters doing everyday mundane things, just so that you can get to know them better. If you have any stories or ideas that need help, you post a topic/comment here.
I hope that helped. :)
I hope that helped. :)
Thanks, I'll try that.

Take a look at the cover artwork of the White Stripes' White Blood Cells CD. What do you see? Jack and Meg look like they're up against a red wall and under siege from a bunch of people. We can't see those people; it's just their silhouettes. But here's a secret.
There's significance to those shadows. They're all real people in the lives of the White Stripes. They were friends of the White Stripes at the time. Members of a group called the Wax Wings posed for the silhouettes–and so did members of the Von Bondies. And you may remember the beating Jack White put on Jason Stollsteimer of the Von Bondies that made the news a few years back. By the way, that photo was taken against a wall at Tiger Stadium in Detroit.

Abigail Adams to William Smith Shaw, 26 Dec. 1797
26 December 1797
my dear Nephew
I received by the last post your kind Letter and the poem of Mrs
Mortens which the President had received a few days before from the Author "for the
beloved President of a Free and enlightned people, the following poem is gratefully and
Respectfully offerd, by the Author" I would fain flatter myself that the fair Authoriss
did not take a poetic lisence in this Sentance; I Send you in return Erskine Speeches on
the trial of Thomas Williams for publishing the Age of reason and Giffords Letter to
Erskine. I like Mr Erskines Religious Sentiments much better than his politicks in the
former he is a very good Christian. in the latter a very [] Heritic,
Gifford has proved himself a much more enlightned Politician, and places Erskine
intirely in the back ground. I have lately been reading Letters of a Lady written in
France during a residence there in the years 92 93 94 95 prepared for the press by this
Same Mr Gifford they are admirably well written and corrobarate the facts which we
received from other pens of most of the Horrours which Stain this unparaleld Revolution
in France intersperced with Sentiments and reflections which do honour to the Head and
heart of the writer. What is to be the fate of that devoted Nation no Humane foresight
can determine. a more despotic act was never perpretrated by the most absolute of
Tyrants than banishing untried Such a number of citizens Legislators, I can not describe
my Sentiments on this Subject better than quoting the <
Sentiments> words of
this Lady in her Letter of June 3 1794 before the Death of Robespierre. The individual
sufferings of the French may perhaps yet admit of increase but their Humiliation as a
people can go no further; and if it were not certain that the acts of the government are
congenial to its principles one might Suppose this tyranny a moral experiment on the
extent of human endurance than a political System, The late tyrannical < of>
mandates of the Directory, Shew the weakness and instability of a form of government
which is incapable of resisting opposition, and which knows no medium between yealding
to its adversaries, or destroying them, force alone is Law.
I would Send you Porcupine papers sometimes if you do not see them. he is frantick with joy and exultation just now for the victory obtaind by Admiral Duncan over the Dutch, he crows and claps his wings and says the English ought to have blown them all up. a good Haunch of a fat Dutchman would be worth more than the whole Body of a San cullot, he is a Sad dog, but his wit is without Malice, tho he frequently decends to Black guardism.
When you go to Atkinson do you write a Letter to mrs Smith & tell her how her sons are. She will receive it very friendly of you. cover it to me and I will forward it. Johnson kept Sabbeth with me & went off on Tuesday last for George Town. write me again, and I will not omit replying to you. you mend in your Hand. your uncle says you will do very well in time. adieu your affectionate

Heat vs. Bulls: NBA Playoffs Tonight!
The Bulls must win-or-go home! The #2 Miami Heat take on the #1 Chicago Bulls 8:30PM EST TNT tonight! The Heat have (3-1) Eastern Conference Finals series lead, and will try to close out the Bulls tonight. Lebron James and Dwyane Wade have been shutting down Derrick Rose and the Bulls on D. The Heat are now trying to play the underdog (up 3-1 in the series); Lebron was somber and quoted, "It's tough", and makes "desperation" take on a new meaning. Lebron may need a psychological examination before this series checks out!

"Is this better?" I ask coming out of the dressing room.
Like the previous seven times, Alek looks me from top to bottom judging everything with a critical eye. He might be always dressed almost exactly every single day, but apparently he's got an eye for fashion. Something was absent in my girl-DNA or something.
"Much better. The green goes well with your hair and The cut fits your figure perfectly."
He might be right, as far as dress goes, this one's not really provocative without being a burka either.
"We picking this one?" I ask, impatient to stop changing every two minutes.
"It will do perfectly."
"Finally..." I mutters as I go back inside the dressing room to change back into my regular clothes. It's a pretty mellow day so I ditched sweaters and hoodies and just put on a black tee with "WYSIWYG" written on it.
When I'm done, he's already paid for the dress, my intuition says it's so I don't see the actual cost, everything in the store seems to cost and arm and a leg...
"We're finally done..." I sigh out.
"We still have to get you shoes, a manicure and a hair stylist." He comments.
I stop dead in his wake and after a second he turns around with a puzzled look on his face. "What's wrong?"
"Did I just get pushed into extreme make over or what?" I ask sardonically.
"What do you mean?"
"Look I'm fine with accompanying you to that party, but I feel like you just want someone on your arm to look good to your buddies." I spit the words at him furiously.
He stands there blinking for a few seconds before mumbling back "Well, I thought you'd like it, like most women--"
I cut him and scream "I am not just any woman!"
I hate these kinds of guys that think that just because I've got a rack it defines my interests and the entirety of my desires in life.
I walk away, storming out of the store. I make a few steps out into the sunlight before I feel him grab my hand. I'm about to jerk off to get him to let go when he takes the other and stands behind me, his mouth close to my ear, his breath softly breezing on my neck.
"Let me go!" I snarl as I ram my elbow down his stomach, making him grunt.
"Cassandra, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to frustrate you. I just assumed things I shouldn't have..."
I take a moment to breathe deeply to calm down and he lets go of my hands. I turn toward him and explain; "Don't ever treat me 'just like a girl.' My gender isn't who am I. Do you understand?"
"I do and again, I apologize."
"We've got a deal?"
"We do."
"One last thing; If you make a PMS joke, I'll kick you!" I threaten him semi-seriously.
