Association for Rural Development in Yilong (ARDY) was established independently 12 years ago. Over these ten years, she went through a series of microfinance experiments and proved to society that the "poor can be trusted and can be given loans," forever eliminating the original idea that "poverty alleviation funds are hard to come by, farmer organizations are hard to build, and the poor never repay their loans." ARDY has beautifully executed the projects given by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Caritas Germany, Japan's Sasakawa Foundation, and other international organizations, earning them both national and international attention as well as recognition.
Nowadays, ARDY is actively exploring and helping poor villages to begin their own farmer organizations. With the support from ARDY, farmers are able to work together on their finances, production, and marketing rather than competing with one another. The farmers are progressively moving towards better management and operation. This innovation has been recognized and supported by all levels of government and by society worldwide.
ARDY will show to the public her proudest side, the side that excites people to rise up.
Here, ARDY will tell you little stories of the work behind her achievements.
Winter Sentiments
As Spring Festival drew near, the people must go to the market to buy New Year goods. They would then happily and peacefully celebrate New Year's with their family members who have returned after working hard for an entire year.
On New Year's Day of 1995, three staff members from ARDY braved the heavy snow to travel through the mountain pass leading to Qinyan Village in FengYi Town. To take advantage of the opportunity that most people will return home by the afternoon, the three endured hunger and forgot their fatigue. Despite being past 3 pm, they still have 700 more meters to climb to visit the people.
As they panted heavily, they entered the first home. The door was closed, but there was smoke coming out of the chimney and laughter can be heard. The delicious smell coming out of the kitchen suddenly made the three very hungry especially after climbing a mountain. The three looked at each other and decided to pay to eat there that day.
The door opened. There was a huge party of people eating. The three staff members introduced themselves and explained their purpose.
The owner replied, "You must be the people who does those microfinance things, something about alleviating poverty. One doesn't receive any loan and must begin repayment. I do not want to borrow and do not want to participate in this kind of association. Please leave. My house is very busy today, no free time."
At this moment, someone asked, "I heard your association is only for women to participate. Loans are only given to women. What exactly do you do..?"
One staff member began to explain the advantages to microfinance and how women were given priority until someone interrupted, "…are you those bad people who specialize in finding naïve farmers…and deceive women..." and laughed. "Come, come, come. Ignore them. Let's drink!"
The sun was starting to set, and the snow came down more heavily. The three left a trail of footprints on the white, thick snow as they moved forward and still forward…
Finding Joy in Misery
In the same winter day, one household in SanMen Village in FengYi Town met a marriage problem. The son of that household was past twenty years old and did not marry yet (during that time, males usually marry around twenty years old). Others finally managed to introduce him to a girl with deformities in her extremities. But because his house had no electricity, the talk of marriage was out of question. The whole family worried daily, anxious to find a solution.
After learning about their situation, ARDY staff members also worried for them. According to the regulations, households without electricity were given priority. But if this family wants to join the farmers' organization, it may be very difficult for them. What should be done to help them?
Staff members found out from neighbors that the girl's family would agree to the marriage if the son's family managed to get electricity. The girl's family just wanted their daughter's life to be easier and nothing more. Fortunately, two townspeople, who were part of ARDY, knew how to install electricity so ARDY decided to first assist them in this method.
ARDY first told the girl's family to not call of the marriage because ARDY was willing to help the son's family. Second, ARDY contacted the two townspeople and made the following agreement: Because of the family's circumstances, the fees for the installation would be paid through several payments over the next two years without any extra charges.
Soon afterwards, the two townspeople bought the necessary equipment and materials to begin installation. In order to prevent the son's household from further expenses, they worked during the nights as well, using kerosene torches as light. Three days prior to the wedding, they finished.
Patting away the spider webs and washing away the dirt, the townspeople realized that it was already 4 o'clock in the morning. They saw the smiles of the son's family under the new lamps and how grateful they were. The two townspeople returned tired smiles after seven hours of continuous work.
The dawn of a winter day was silent and cold. In the dark valley, two burning lights could be seen. They were the two townspeople leaving the son's household and hurrying back home.
After receiving notice that more than ten farmer households want to learn how to raise rabbits, ARDY, wanting to improve these farmers' lifestyles, invited an expert on raising rabbits and livestock to Kunshan village. The expert would provide free training and guidance to these farmers. Following the training, ARDY helped order 18 steel rabbit cages under the request of the farmers. The quality of these rabbit cages was very good. The cages came in sets of three groups, weighing up to 150 kg. The rabbit cages filled an entire car when they arrived to town in the afternoon. Once the staff members checked the inventory, they immediately sent the cages to the village.
The arrival of these cages came during the rice harvest season when farmers were very busy. The households that wanted to raise rabbits could not find people to help transport these cages. People gradually began to arrive when it was almost dark. Some families sent 2-3 people, others only 1. The families who sent only 1 person needed to travel home and back to transport everything. Those who came early needed to leave; those who were supposed to come did not come yet. There were also people just standing nearby to watch the spectacle. As the staff members hectically introduced the products and kept count of the inventory, they also had to disassemble everything. The whole scene became very chaotic.
It was 9 pm. The distribution was finally over. The staff members breathed a deep sigh of relief. As they began to pack up, they realized that there was a problem. One family was busy pounding millet and did not come to claim their cages, but there were no more left. The staff members then went household-to-household, hoping to find the missing cages. All the households claim to only have taken one.
Goodness, the staff was angry! They were so careful in recording down the cages; yet, now they were missing one for no reason. These sets of cages cost more than 800 RMB each, that's two months of one staff member's salary!
The leader berated the staff members, "Look, you can even accomplish this one small task! You will have to pay for the loss!"
The staff's family members replied, "So what? You see all those people outside working in business…those people can earn up to several tens of thousands of dollars a year. You heard of Xiao Ling? After working less than a year, he was able to purchase a big house. What about you?"
To whom should these grievances be said to?
Bitter Tears
Early on a cold March day, Hai Ou woke up with a smile. After three months of hard work, their farmers' organization would be established today. This organization would have a total of 5 groups made up of 25 people. Although two days prior some people had lingering doubts about having meetings every 10 days and multiple installments, these doubts quickly subsided after she patiently gave explanations. For sure, the first loan would be given out successfully. Hai Ou washed her face and notified her colleagues to get the material ready.
Hai Ou hummed a little song while traveling to the designated place for the organization with her colleagues. No one arrived yet so they took the opportunity to prepare some more.
Soon afterwards many people began to appear; even people from areas where there are no organizations established came.
The meeting began. As a general rule, Hao Ou introduced the benefits of having a farmers' organization and the regulations of microfinance. Suddenly, a 50-year-old man came by and shouted for his wife to return home. Even though Hao Ou and her colleagues warmly welcomed him, he still interrupted Hai Ou, "You are all just using 'poverty alleviation' as a guise for your high-interest loans. When you get a loan, you need to deduct this and that. Eventually we have to start repayments before we even receive anything. And you also want 8% interest! Come on, people…do you not see that this is used to snatch money away from us poor villagers?"
What a mess! The crowd began to chatter and talk. Even though the staff tried to quiet everyone down and explain, there was no way to stop the discussions.
"Yea, this idea of meeting every few days will take away a lot of our time…"
"Forget it…I am not entering this…"
"I want to buy two pigs, but where will I find the money to repay my loan?…"
"I don't want a loan anymore"
Some people left, and others began to leave. This sudden change was unforeseen by anyone. People even mocked the organization.
"Do you need some extra change? We can give you some without interest. Sounds good, huh?"
"That sounds good…we will be sure to come find you."
More people left no matter what Hai Ou and her colleagues did. The farmers' organization establishment ended in a failure. The hard work for the last couple of months went to waste, leaving Hao Ou crying sorrowfully.
This July (July 2008) ARDY set up a farmers' organization in Kunshan Village in Sanwen Town…
On a blazing hot afternoon, Secretary General of ARDY and one of her staff members held a meeting to present government funds specially allocated to poor villages.
The participants had a lot to say. They all wanted to know whether these farmers' organizations will be like the ones before, like credit unions, or like those associations where farmers do not receive any loans. They also wanted to know how the bonuses will be divided. All these things stirred up a much heated debate. But once someone nominated the poor to receive the government funds, a portion of the people stopped talking. Because ARDY did not know much about the village, they relied on the participants to designate 5 households to receive funds. To follow procedures and ensure equality, the Secretary General and staff member headed to visit the farmers, especially the 5 chosen households after eating a quick lunch of ramen.
The sun blazed down mercilessly. There was no wind. The rice plants and corn stalks shrank, and the water in the rice fields steamed off from the ground. Even the cicadas on the trees stopped their singing…walking along the ridge was like walking through a steamer. When they finally climbed over a mountain and came across two very small, beautiful houses, the guide told them that these were families "A" and "C" chosen to receive funds. Seeing the well-framed houses and gardens, the two were baffled, "We wanted to help these people. We have worked so hard. Why would they do this to us?" They decided to find the owner for details.
After communicating patiently, the Secretary General and the staff member realized that these people were affected by the past experiences with farmers' organizations. They no longer believed in these organizations and feared their false marketing of alleviating poverty. That was why everyone deliberately selected those two households to see what ARDY would do.
In fact, household "C" was in financial trouble despite the appearance of their home. Household "C" had huge debts from renovating their house and paying for the wife's medical bills. The owner of "C" explained, "I do believe that this is everyone's planned intentions because we are not the household you should be helping. I never met an association that works so hard. We are all very grateful, and I fully support this project. I will like to join this organization…so please record a share for me. I will go tomorrow to hand in the money to pay for the shares." ARDY's two representatives let out a sigh of relief as one problem seemed to have been solved.
At this time, the staff member received a call from home saying her aunt just passed away. The funeral would be held the next morning at 6, and he needed to go back home, which was 60 km away. The two looked at the time; it was past 8 pm. Fortunately, they had their own motorbike, and it was still light outside since it was summer. They decided to go visit one last household before returning home.
By the time they left the last household, the sky had turned dark. A gust of cool wind blew across as the two rushed home on the motorbike. But the wind grew stronger... the clouds in the sky gathered. A lightening stroked across the sky. A storm was coming! The rain pounded down in sheets, forcing them to wait under a roof near the roadside for more than 2 hours. By the time they got home, they were soaking wet, and it was already 12 o'clock in the night. No more shops were open by this time so the two ended up eating ramen for dinner.
In this weather, the staff member whose aunt died could not even travel to his uncle's house for the funeral. He could only sit by the heater and slowly dry his wet planner…
Difficult to Deal With
Working in ARDY, the staff members face the greatest difficulty with customers who are unable to pay their loans. Once the money goes out, there is always risk. Along with project failures, natural disasters, sickness, and deaths, loans that have not been repaid become even more outstanding. If the person is reasonable, there should be no problem. However, there is an old saying, "Do not be afraid of tough adversary. Be afraid of crafty opponents." If you meet a sly customer, you will not know whether to laugh or cry.
Miss Chen was the famous local "Che Jin Ke" (an unreasonable person) in Biquan Farmers' Organization. She also has been ARDY's most difficult customer to deal with. In the beginning, she entered the association by attending an activity regarding women's health. But, when it came to microfinance, people were scared of being dragged down by her and did not want to be in the same organization with her. Miss Chen yelled back, "Are you scared of me? I am not that kind of unreasonable person all of you are saying. If I take a loan, I will be responsible to pay it back…perhaps I will be better at paying back my loans than any of you.."
To save her face, her neighbors reluctantly formed an organization with her and gave her a loan of 800 RMB. With the money, Miss Chen went to buy two pigs. She also repaid back her loans regularly in the beginning months. Everyone thought she changed.
Four months later, Miss Chen lost her money in mahjong and could not repay her loans. When people urged her to come, she replied that she was busy and promised to come the next time. The next time came around, but her excuse was that she went to visit a relative. When staff members went to her home, they could not find anyone. By the third time, she was the only one in the entire center that did not return her loan. Everyone was angry and went to her home. Her child said she went to the fields. Not being able to do anymore, people returned home and announced through the village speakers for Miss Chen to come to the organization's center and repay her loans.
Miss Chen felt that the broadcasted announcement made her lose face and her dignity. She asked why they decided to do what they did. In addition, she once again reiterated that she was not someone who took money and not repay it back. Yet, she was unwilling now to repay the loan for what they have done. No matter how the staff members and people in the center advise and persuade her, she would not be moved. The whole village racked out their brains to no avail. It was not that Miss Chen decided to hide from people; it was that she would not pay. To whoever that came to urge her for repayment, Miss Chen would quarrel bitterly with them, demanding the entire village apologize to her through a broadcasted announcement. Only in this way could she regain her dignity she said.
Because of this issue, the staff member that went to urge her for money decided to leave his/her post. The new staff member tried his/her best to work with Miss Chen. After all, Miss Chen did repay 150 RMB before, and ARDY had placed 400 RMB of principal in the overdue loans…
These kinds of stories are plentiful. The top stories are just short clips of what ARDY has experienced. Hopefully, with these stories, you can better understand our work in poverty alleviation through microfinance.

French Onion Beef-Noodle Bake
Recipe by out of here
A hearty casserole served with some good homemade bread-Pure comfort food!
Top Review by Nimz1466
Very nice combination of flavors. I really loved the pasta and croutons in this recipe and Dave really enjoyed the meat portion(he's not a big pasta fan). But we really enjoyed the dish as a whole. I altered the cooking method a little. I saute the onions (which I don't know if they were sweet or not but they tasted great) for 20 minutes, then added the mushrooms for 10 minutes then added the beef for the last 10 minutes. I was afraid if I put the meat and the mushrooms in together they would be way too done. I also used recipe #129971 for the noodles because of the garlic. This recipe screamed garlic. Other than that I followed the recipe. Thanks for sharing.

With Carr & Carr since 2002, Laurie Koller has been the primary trial attorney for more than 70 jury trials in the state and federal courts.
Laurie is a faculty coordinator for the Keenan Ball College, a nationally recognized training facility for plaintiff's trial lawyers. She is also a graduate of Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College, which is a three-week, intensive training boot camp for plaintiff's attorneys. Laurie enhances her trial skills to benefit her clients by working with some of the best trial lawyers in the country. She is on the National Crime Victim Bar Association Advisory Board.
Raised in Tulsa, Laurie knew at eight years old that she wanted to be an attorney. She is a graduate of Booker T. High School, where her two sons also attended. She enjoys gardening, cooking and training her dogs.
Recent Cases
- In the summer of 2016, Laurie received a significant settlement for a man who went to a hospital for knee surgery and ended up severely handicapped and unable to take care of himself. Because of Carr & Carr's work, this man's medical needs will now be taken care of.
- In the spring of 2016, Laurie and her team received a substantial settlement for a young woman who was sexually molested during her teen years by her church pastor.
- Laurie worked with a mother and father who lost their 17-year-old son in a car wreck. A liquor store sold him alcohol without asking for identification. The case settled during trial for $1.5 million. Additionally, the liquor store is now obligated to train all of its employees in how to prevent underage sales.
- Laurie helped a little girl and her family after the little girl was seriously abused at a church daycare. A Tulsa County jury returned a verdict of $2 million for the girl and her family.
- Laurie helped a former Marine who was badly injured when a tow truck crossed the center lane and hit his SUV head on. A Creek County jury returned a verdict of $5 million in favor of Carr & Carr's client who sustained serious, permanent injuries.
- Teaming up with attorneys in our Oklahoma City office, Laurie helped six families whose children have suffered injury because of ingesting torch fuel. The families are from Florida, Iowa, Oklahoma, and Delaware.
- In Arkansas, Laurie recently was able to secure a significant settlement for the parents of a young girl who was killed in a car wreck that occurred in a construction zone.
- Laurie helped a woman whose insurance company had denied her request to have knee surgery. Acting contrary to Oklahoma law, the insurance company alleged that the client had completed the insurance application improperly. This bad faith case resulted in a significant settlement for Carr & Carr's client.
- Working alongside Pat Carr on this Oklahoma City case, Laurie was able to assist a severely disabled woman and her family because the woman was twice denied life-saving care by emergency department physicians. In this medical malpractice case, because doctors did not recognize her heart attack symptoms, the woman suffered a massive heart attack which caused permanent, debilitating brain damage.

This Application claims the benefit of priority of Japanese Application 7-146348, filed Jun. 13, 1995.
The present Invention relates to a connector assembly for elongated elements, especially for connecting such elements to other devices. The Invention also relates to a method of fixing the connector in a connector housing. For convenience, the Invention will be described for use with coated optical fibers, but it is understood that it is applicable to elongated elements generally, including electrical wires.
Known optical fiber connectors include housings made of resin, fitted or integrally formed with ferrules. FIGS. 1a and 1b show optical fiber connector 50 comprising housing 51 made of resin and having integrally formed ferrules 52. Housing 51 further comprises metallic claws 55 for fixing optical fibers F. The metallic claws are generally U-shaped, as seen in FIG. 1b. In this type of device, each optical fiber F is stripped of coating c adjacent its end, thereby exposing fiber core f. Fiber F is then inserted into housing 51 through insertion paths 53, so that fiber core f fits into a corresponding ferrule 52. Insertion paths 53 of housing 51 are provided with slits 54 into which fixing claws 55 are edgewise inserted so as to engage the fiber. Edge portions 55a of fixing claws 55 are thereby pressed against coating c of optical fiber F, thereby fixing it in connector housing 51. By this method, approximately 80N of fixing force can be obtained. However, this force is not sufficient for vehicle applications, where at least 100N is required for such connectors.
FIG. 2 shows another known optical fiber connector 60 comprising a connector housing 61 made of resin and enclosing metallic ferrules 62. Stop 63 prevents ferrules 62 from disengaging. Spring 64 urges ferrules 62 towards the end of the connector housing. Protective cover 65 protects the insertion section where optical fiber F is introduced into connector housing 61.
Ferrules 62 comprise core holder 62a, which has a comparatively small inner diameter and through which fiber core f of the optical fiber F is inserted, coated-portion holder 62b, which has a comparatively large inner diameter and through which coated part c of the optical fiber is inserted, and flange 62c projecting radially outwardly at the periphery between core holder 62a and coated-portion holder 62b. Flanges 62c form abutment faces for spring 64.
To fix optical fiber F to connector housing 61, the end of coated part c of each fiber F is stripped, so that fiber core f is exposed; this end is inserted into ferrule 62, so that coated part c of optical fiber F is frictionally retained by holding part 62b, then springs 64 are inserted into the peripheral area of holding part 62b.
After they have been joined, the fiber end and ferrule 62 are inserted into connector housing 61 so that stop 63 causes springs 64 to press against flange 62c of ferrule 62. When viewed in a lateral cross-section, the inner surface of connector housing 61 presents shoulder 61a. When ferrule 62 is held in connector housing 61, flange 62c is urged against shoulder 61a, thereby insuring the fixing of each optical fiber F. Coating c of fiber F is crimped by holding part 62b of ferrule 62. While this method can provide a fixing force in excess of 100N, it requires precision metal-forming of the ferrules. This leads not only to higher ferrule production costs, but also to a need for other parts, such as springs 64 etc. resulting in further increased costs compared to the optical fiber connector shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b.
It is therefore an object of the present Invention to provide an optical fiber connector that can be fixed firmly to the connector housing and can be manufactured economically. It is another object of the Invention to provide a method for fixing the optical fiber in the connector housing. The present Invention comprises a retaining assembly for at least one optical fiber having a central core surrounded by a coating. A fixing device is provided which includes a clamping member and a holding member, the clamping member having a securing portion with an axial portion of the coating fixed therein. The holding member comprises at least a first receiving element having a channel therein; a part of the securing portion is located in the first channel.
In a preferred form of the device, the clamping member carries a flange which extends radially outward therefrom and there is a corresponding recess on the first receiving element. A part of the flange is inserted into the recess, thereby securing the clamping member and optical fiber within the receiving element. The securing portion of the clamping member is desirably crimped onto the coating of the optical fiber.
Advantageously, a second receiving element, with a second channel complementary to the first channel, is placed on the face of the first receiving element adjacent thereto. Since the second element corresponds fully with the first element, the two channels form a cylinder and the two recesses form a circular recess. The securing portion of the clamping member is entirely encompassed by the two channels and the flange is circumferentially within the circular recess. The foregoing constitutes the fixing device of the present Invention which can then be inserted into the connector housing.
The housing is provided with a ferrule extending forwardly from the back of the chamber and the exposed end of the optical fiber is retained therein. A ferrule housing surrounds the ferrule, but is spaced radially apart therefrom and permits mating with another connector.
While the assembly of the present Invention has been described thus far with respect to a single optical fiber and related elements, it is intended that a plurality of such fibers be included in a single device. In such cases, the parts as described herein are duplicated for each additional fiber.
To produce the inventive assembly, the optical fiber is inserted into the clamping member which is then crimped onto the coated portion of the fiber. The clamping member is then inserted into the holding member and the latter is, in turn, introduced into the chamber of the connector housing. At the same time, the exposed end of the fiber enters the ferrule and is retained therein for connection to a mating connector. As a result of the present Invention, not only is the assembly capable of withstanding a separating force of 100N, but the device is easy to assemble and the number of elements is reduced. For example, the clamping member, since it is not directly connected to the optical fiber, need not be manufactured with great precision. Thus, the present Invention allows reduction of manufacturing and assembling costs.
In the accompanying drawings, constituting apart hereof, and in which like reference characters indicate like parts,
FIG. 1a is a section through an assembly of the prior art;
FIG. 1b is a transverse cross section of the device of FIG. 1a;
FIG. 2 is a view similar to that of FIG. 1a of another known connector;
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the assembly of the present Invention; and
FIG. 4 is a cross section of the present Invention in its assembled form.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, connector 1 is comprised of a connector housing 10 of resin and fixing device 20 which holds optical fiber F and is secured therein. Connector housing 10 comprises rectangular main housing portion 11 having ferrules 17 integrally provided on the front thereof. The rear of main housing portion, opposite the ferrules, has an opening for receiving complementary elements 25. Connection 13 on main housing portion 11 connects the main housing portion with another connector housing (not shown). Housing 11 is provided, on its outer face near the rear, with holes 14 which couple with protrusions 29 of fixing device 20. Chamber 15 includes a narrowed section which forms shoulder 16 against which the edge of fixing device 20 abuts to determine its position.
Fixing device 20 comprises clamping member 21, usually of a metal such as brass, and holding member 24, for retaining clamping member 21. Clamping member 21 includes cylindrical portion 22, with a passage for the optical fiber, and flange 23 integrally formed at one end thereof. The flange projects radially outwardly from the cylindrical portion. Optical fiber F is fixed by passing it through cylindrical portion 22, which is then pressed against the fiber from the outside.
Holding member 24 is a pair of complementary elements 25 made of resin. Element 25 is provided with channel 26 having semi-circular cross-section into which cylindrical portion 22 of clamping member 21, with optical fiber F to which it is fixed, is received. Flange portion 23 of clamping member 21 fits into slit 27 in element 25. Another channel 28, with a semi-circular cross-section, receives coated part c of optical fiber F. The outer surface of one of complementary elements 25 carries locking claws 29 which enter holes 14 in connector housing 10, thereby locking the elements in chamber 15. Once clamping member 21 is firmly fixed on optical fiber F, it is inserted into, and is retained by, elements 25, so that clamping member 21 is precisely positioned in holding member 24. Holding member 24, including clamping member 21 and fiber F, is then inserted in chamber 15 of connector housing 10.
As shown in FIG. 3, optical fiber F is stripped of its coating at its end, thereby exposing core f. Optical fiber F is then inserted into cylindrical portion 22 which is crimped onto coated part c. Thereafter, clamping member 21 is placed between elements 25 of holding member 24 and retained therein.
When clamping member 21 and holding member 24, which constitute fixing device 20, are inserted into chamber 15 of connector housing 10, the leading edge of fixing device 20 abuts against shoulder 16. Then, locking claws 29 enters holes 14, whereby fixing device 20 is held in connector housing 10, as shown in FIG. 4. At the same time, exposed fiber core f is inserted into ferrule 17, so that its optical axis is protected from dislocation.
If the resin forming the holding member is sufficiently strong, the clamping member need not be provided with the flange. In this case, the holding member may be provided a stop, and the clamping member has the matching recess into which the stop fits.
These and other changes may be made in the Invention without departing from the spirit thereof. The Invention is to be broadly construed and not to be limited except by the character of the claims appended hereto.

Ninety-six, or quatre-vingts-seize, is, as several readers pointed out, not nearly as promising a sexual diversion as its transposition. Like 69, however, it may be inverted without damage.
Helen McPhail advises turning over the whole of 1996 "so it can be put back in the cupboard until 9661 and become a future generation's problem." Rev HW Hewitt has a similar idea, but advises filling the round bits of 9661 with contemporary artefacts, to let our 300-times great-grandchildren know a little about us.
Frank Card suggests abolishing it altogether, to reduce the election campaign to just a few months. Or extending it, to defer 1997 and hang on to Hong Kong for a little longer. His most profitable idea, however, is to privatise it, offering franchises on each month, the whole thing to be regulated by Offyear.
Martin Brown also proposes privatisation, but under the regulation of TimeOff. He sees it as a first stage to the privatisation of time itself.
Michael Rubinstein thinks it just the year to make a resolution not to make resolutions. "The ensuing relief will render 1996 an exceptional year for tensing and relaxation without the self-recrimination common to previous years."
"Politics-wise," says Duncan Bull oxymoronically, "1996 promises to be a complete and utter waste of time." He advises fast-forwarding to 1997.
Linda Browning points out that whatever we do with 1996, it will be thought to have gone quickly, so we'd better do it soon before it goes missing. Len Clarke thinks we should have 1996 twice, to satisfy pedants who insist that the new millennium doesn't start until 2001.
AJ Brewer points out that 1996 has 53 Mondays, providing an extra opportunity for Creativity, if we hadn't missed one last week. But not so good, he points out, for sufferers from that Monday-morning feeling. Since it's a leap year, however, there will be 53 Tuesdays, too.
Back with the turn-it-upside-down school, Ann Phillips mentions what a successful year 966 was, with King Edgar still on the throne and a long break in Viking invasions. Gerry Kandler recommends collecting as many artefacts with 1996 stamped on them as possible, burying them, and wrecking the careers of sloppy archaeologists of the future, who will be unable to determine whether they are cataloguing items from 1996 or 9661.
Prizes to Frank Card, AJ Brewer and Linda Browning.
Following Prof Richard Dawkins's recent refutation of astrology, we are concerned for practitioners of this ancient art, many of whom are trained for nothing else. Any ideas for things to do with astrologers, or convincing deductions of what star sign Prof Dawkins was born under, should be sent to: Creativity, The Independent, 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5DL.
Prizes of the Larousse Dictionary of World Folklore will be awarded to the most appropriate suggestions. (Congratulations to Stuart Cockerill for correctly predicting that astrologers would be the object this week.)

Sarah, as I've mentioned once or twice LOATHES needles, they terrify her. This being the case, every time they need to find a vein they (the veins) all retreat.
These are the pictures of the poor child's hands with all the little scabs of where they battled to find a suitable vein.
Phobias are such strange things. I've watched Sarah develop and lose a couple. Insects, spiders (she once got out of a moving car to avoid a spider) and now needles. They come out of nowhere and seem to have no reason.
When the nurses do the obs they find it hard to find somewhere on her that isn't bruised black and blue.
The blood pressure cuffs fit right around this particular bruise.

Strategies to improve maternal and newborn health care in low-income settings can be cost-effective, though the evidence is limited, suggests a recent systematic review published in BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth on 22 July 2014.
The review, led by Dr Lindsay Mangham-Jefferies, IDEAS Economist at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, showed there was reasonably strong evidence from specific settings for the cost–effectiveness of:
- the use of women's groups to promote maternla and newborn health care and health practices
- home-based newborn care using community health workers and traditional birth attendants
- extending routine antenatal care to deliver additional life-saving interventions
- a facility-based quality improvement initiative to enhance compliance with care standards
- the promotion of breastfeeding in maternity hospitals
However, these findings are limited due to the lack of high quality studies available and the inability to compare studies due to the use of a variety of cost-effectiveness measures.
The review shows a need for the maternal and newborn health community to do more and better quality cost-effectiveness evaluations.
Watch a video of Dr Lindsay Mangham-Jefferies, lead author and IDEAS Economist, talking with Krystyna Makowiecka, IDEAS Technical Resource Centre Lead, about the paper for our monthly research highlight:

06/23/2017 Weekly Legislative Update June 23
"Don't cry over spilt milk."Rep. Bill Kennemer, co-carrier of SB 1A, the bill to disband Cover Oregon, quotes his mother.
News of the week
Senate Bill 1 A, the bill to disband Cover Oregon passed the House floor today and now goes to the Senate President, House Speaker and the Governor for their signatures.
Gov. Kate Brown will pick her successor as Secretary of State by March 6. People under consideration include Senate Majority Leader Diane Rosenbaum and House Majority Leader Val Hoyle.
February 25 was the deadline for legislators to submit bills to the Chief Clerk or the Secretary of the Senate. Over six hundred bill were introduced last week, brining the total to 2,434. Legislators also have priority bills to that they may introduce at any time during session.
"White Coat Invasion" OMA Day at the Capitol, March 12, 2015
-Registration is still open.
The Oregon Medical Association is organizing a lobby day for physicians, PAs and students on March 12. You don't need to be an OMA member to attend. It's an opportunity to hear from legislative leaders, receive message training and to meet with your legislators. Appointments are being made now for people who have registered. Learn more at www.theOMA.org/Day.
Bill hearings and other activities
HB 2754, which allows immunity for people who seek medical assistance for themselves or another person due to a drug-related overdose, is up for a hearing on March 4 in the House Judiciary Committee. This bill is sponsored by Rep. Jennifer Williamson. OCEP will testify in support.
HB 2948, which allows limited disclosure of health-related information to family members of a person in mental health crisis, will have a public hearing on March 6. This bill is sponsored by a bipartisan group of legislators. OCEP will testify in support.
SB 442, eliminating the non-medical exemption for school immunizations, is expected to be scheduled for a work session in the Senate Health Care Committee on March 9. This will be in lieu of an informational hearing, which has been canceled.
The canceled hearing was slated to include testimony from Andrew Wakefield, a British former surgeon and researcher, known for a 1998 research paper claiming that the MMR vaccine might cause autism. The findings were later refuted. http://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/health/2015/02/24/andrew-wakefield-vaccine-oregon/23967797/
Bills on the move
HB 2294, which would establish the Oregon Health Authority Information Technology Program — and support projects such as the Emergency Department Information Exchange — passed the House on February 23. It has been assigned to the Senate Health Care Committee.
SB 153, clarifies the definition of "independent practice" for the purpose of insurance reimbursement for services provided by a licensed physician assistant or certified nurse practitioner. It passed the Senate Health Care Committee earlier this week, despite an "Other Funds" fiscal by a major insurer estimating it would cost them nearly two million dollars to comply with the pay parity law for NPs (HB 2902) which passed in 2013. The bill now heads to the Senate floor for a vote.
Thing to Know: What's a Priority Bill?
A priority bill is a drafting request that legislators may submit to Legislative Counsel at any time during the 2015 session. Every member shall be entitled to five requests but they don't have to use them all. Many members hold onto them throughout the session. Once a measure bearing a priority designation of the Legislative Counsel has been delivered to the member, they have three business days to submit it to for introduction.
For more information about the legislative process, please contact Katy King.

The heart of herbalism beats in Appalachia.
Growing wild in these forested mountains is a root so valuable that decades of poaching and habitat loss has left it in dire need of our help. Protecting the wild is now in your hands.
We are so proud to offer the first ever Certified Forest Grown American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius).
This new project brings us certified organic ginseng roots that were grown in their native ecosystem - the forested mountains of Appalachia. The plants are tended under the shade of the forest canopy, not shade cloth, allowing them to remain connected to their natural habitat. After 7 years of growth, the roots are sustainably harvested from these private forests by farmers who are dedicated to preserving this important medicinal plant.
We believe that supporting this new certified forest grown movement can change the culture of ginseng, transforming the epidemic of black market poaching into a stewarded forest crop with sustainability as the guiding force. These roots are also certified organic by PCO - Pennsylvania Certified Organic.
The roots from this limited harvest come packaged in a beautiful latching keepsake tin with a card inside that details the new Forest Grown certification. This would make the perfect gift for any plant lover or powerful medicine for your own use. Mountain Rose Herbs will donate 5% from every sale of this precious ginseng root to the United Plant Savers.
Find the new Certified Forest Grown American Ginseng here!
