Nowadays ICT is pervading everybody's life, digital convergence opens new opportunities and accelerates the speed of economic and social change. The fusion between the physical and digital worlds is radically changing our living environment where individuals and organizations experience an increasing need for shared knowledge and communication. As society becomes more dependent on ICT, a number of vulnerabilities arise due to problems in usability, traceability, security and privacy. In such a context, different and interdisciplinary professionalisms are required. The Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science (DISI) represents a world-class assembly of researchers and institutions. The Department provides a dynamic and qualified response to the ever-increasing, leading-edge competency demands in the field of ICT, drawing from a productive fabric at local, national and international level. Our Department covers all the main topics of information technology and engineering and has a strong focus on maintaining the optimal balance between individual disciplines and broad interdisciplinary areas. A wide educational offer, linked to industry, research centres and top universities all over the world makes DISI an international environment, where researchers and lecturers share their knowledge and transfer cutting-edge skills to students and next generation professionals. The Department covers two primary areas of information and communication technology: • Computer Science • Telecommunications These disciplines are taught individually, but with a strong focus on interdisciplinarity. This gives DISI the ability to integrate the entire spectrum of competences needed to develop advanced technologies that underpin innovative applications and services. Faculty members are highly productive researchers and international leaders in their respective fields. They are authors of widely used software, patents and textbooks, winners of national and international awards, organizers of international conferences, and successful entrepreneurs. In short, professors, researchers and PhD students at DISI are open-minded people that are able to produce new ideas and services, thus fuelling the future of ICT and knowledge society. Research conducted at DISI frequently receives coverage on national and international popular media and has an impact both in the research community and at industrial, economic and social level. It relies on the complementary skills of different academic areas in order to develop innovative methods, technologies, applications and advanced services. Our highly integrated internationally collaborative research has three main targets: frontier research, knowledge transfer, and technology transfer. To achieve this goal, the scientific activity of the Department is organized in Research Programmes. They represent the synthesis of three different dimensions that define the strategic
research organization of DISI: methodological research - where theory is produced and disseminated within the scientific community - technological areas - where complementary methodologies meet to create applicationoriented technologies - and application labs - where researchers cooperate with industry, research centres, and end-users to demonstrate the feasibility of advanced solutions and practice new models for technology transfer.
Living in Trento Trentino benefits of its geographical position as a culture node rich of history, cultural differences and natural beauty, with its castles, archaeological sites, sanctuaries and the wonderful lakes of the Dolomites. The journey through the castles is a fascinating itinerary between fortresses and ramparts, immersed in vineyards and located in strategic positions, a unique opportunity to get to know the history of this valley, an ancient boundary line and has always been the passageway between Italy and Central Europe. Trentino also offers a wide range of activities, excursions and the chance to do many sports. It is the ideal natural framework for sport-lovers who enjoy exercising in the great outdoors, for example, on a 90-km-cycling path that connects the northern and the southern part of Trentino. Along the ancient Roman road Claudia Augusta you can cycle from Trento to Borghetto, not far from the Province of Verona; there are numerous cliffs to test concentration and technique, easy pitches for beginners and more challenging routes for experts, trails and via ferrata routes. The larger lakes are ideal for water sport activities, and when winter comes, ski season opens, with a combination of breath-taking views and comfortable, ultra-modern ski-lifts that cover 800 km of runs. Trento in Italy is sometimes referred to as "The Painted City� in reference to the many exquisite frescoes on the outer walls of many of the city centre buildings. The beautiful, historic centre and dramatic environs are an artist's paradise and there is as much culture, heritage and natural beauty as people living in Trento could wish for. Trento is the City of the Council that preserves and protects the historical meeting point between Italian and Mitteleuropean culture within its monuments and art. In fact, the breathtakingly beautiful mountain city is something of a meeting point between Italian and Germanic cultures, with a pastiche of architectural styles. With more than 100,000 inhabitants, Trento is a university city and hosts advanced research centres in addition to renowned international cultural institutions. Its unique geographical position makes the area a natural production and technology platform for international business and an ideal trading hub between southern and continental Europe. Thanks to its wide cultural offer, the city of Trento is considered an active centre that also keeps a strong bond with tradition. With a safe urban environment offering many cultural activities, set in an attractive natural environment, with good employment opportunities, an excellent education system and an efficient health service, Trento is one of the top Italian cities to live in. The cultural and social life is enriched by numerous conferences, meetings, exhibitions, traditional costume festivals, typical markets, historical events, international festivals, theatrical, musical and dancing sessions. These events usually take place both in theatres and in the city centre.

Master in Computer Science mcs.disi.unitn.it
The MSc in Computer Science focuses on knowledge, methodologies and specialized computer technologies which will give students the opportunity to plan, design, develop, estimate and manage complex or innovative systems for the processing of information. The goal of the MSc in Computer Science is to teach students the basic theoretical principles of computer science to acquire specific knowledge in the macro-areas related to software technologies, systems and networks, multimedia, embedded systems, safety and security engineering. All courses of study include theory and lab classes. Computer Science graduates are often employed within 2 months of leaving the university (if not before completing their studies - source Almalaurea) since Computer Science jobs are on the top five list of most wanted specialists in Italy. A strong international approach is one of the key features of the MSc in Computer Science. Courses are taught in English, 20% of our teaching staff comes from abroad and about 40% of master students are foreigners. The reason behind this is simple: to be a Computer Science professional today means to be working in a global market where the English language is fundamental and where you'll be exposed to different cultures that can potentially lead to the creation of an international network of contacts to utilise later in life.

Master of Science in Quantitative and Computational Biology (QCB) international.unitn.it/ict/welcome
In collaboration with CIBIO (Centre for integrative biology), the Department of Physics and the Department of Mathematics The Master of Science degree in Quantitative and Computational Biology (QCB) is a multidisciplinary degree that formally integrates quantitative sciences and applied biology. The course focuses on a strategic area where technology and methodology enable students to face essential questions at the interface between fundamental research and clinical and pre-clinical areas, through analytical and quantitative approaches. The course - entirely taught in English - is designed to capture the increasing need for researchers and experts able to transform the enormous amount of biological information ("big data") into knowledge, and to gain quantitative insight into the behaviour of biological systems by means of bio-mathematical and bio-physical models. Key target areas include pharmacogenomics, biotechnology, food science, and precision medicine, which represent applied research fields where the growing availability of multidimensional data demands high interdisciplinarity. The QCB course is designed to train experts in biotechnology, computational biology, bioinformatics and biological data and systems biology analysis, who will have the opportunity to learn in a multidisciplinary context, interacting with students with different experiences. Strong emphasis will be given to quantitative and computational aspects, with a focus on tools to analyse, model and understand biological systems and phenomena. The course consists of two tracks, the "Biotechnological Track" and the "Computational Track". Admitted students will follow one of the two tracks based on their educational background acquired in previous studies. The two different tracks offer the opportunity for students to integrate their background based on their first-level degree and individual preparation. In the first, second and third semesters, students will take different courses with a focus on biotechnological or computational topics. The fourth semester is entirely dedicated to the preparation of the thesis. Students will have the chance to carry out research projects within the University of Trento organizations involved in the Master's Degree, at other Italian or European Universities, or in companies operating in the biotechnology, bioinformatics and computational areas.

Nine Month Mark Reflections
Photo Blog – Round II
Here's the latest from the Queen of Kiribati…
Ok so these past couple of weeks have been so crazy! We had Transfers, Christmas, a Mission Tour with President Haleck (I gave birth that same day) and New Years. I thought it might be more fun and to be honest, faster, to share about these past couple of weeks with a series of photos and captions, which, let's be honest are more like epistles.
This photo of Sister Tutu'ila and I was taken on our last full day together before Transfers! I would be transferring to Teaoraereke (which is actually not that far from Bairiki) and Sister Tutu'ila would be staying in Bairiki. We visited Ametira and her family to read with them from the Book of Mormon. When we arrived she was busy weaving a mat so Tutu and I decided to climb the tree next door and take selfies, which is what we do best. It was so sad knowing that I would be transferred from her but at the same time I was excited for her and for this next part of her mission – she's the new STL! I'm so proud of her and all that she has accomplished. She's an exemplary missionary and I know that she will serve her fellow missionaries with all of her heart.
The Zone Leaders announced Transfers on Wednesday and they happened that Friday. They didn't know what time it would all be happening so they told us to be ready for anything and at anytime. I really wanted to see Kaeua and her family before I left Bairiki. Kaeua was one of the first people that I had witnessed being baptised when I got to Kiribati and I have developed a great love for her and for her family during my time in Bairiki. I knew that if there was one family I wanted to see on my last morning before I left, it would be them. Sister Tutu'ila, Sister Ukenio (who is waiting for her visa to serve in the New Zealand Wellington Mission) and I all went to their house that morning and ended up having breakfast with them. It was a great way to say "see you later" and meant so much to me. I love this family so much.
So leaving Bairiki literally broke my heart. I was so depressed haha. Really, I was so sad. I thought that I would at least be able to spend Christmas there. I had even prayed, asking God if I could stay in Bairiki for Christmas. Bairiki is my first love. Being in Teaoraereke was a struggle. I just kept thinking about all of my families and friends that I had made in Bairiki and found myself wishing to be back there. However I knew that I needed to accept that Teaoraereke is where the Lord wanted me and so I tried to push away those thoughts. On Christmas Eve a miracle happened, well it was a miracle to me anyway. We happened to see Taubo and Kiribwa in our area. They were visiting family in the area. They told us that their family would be getting together that night to celebrate Christmas. We (Sisters Heni, Beria, Boss and I – Heni and Boss are now companions) didn't have a dinner appointment and so we asked if we could have dinner with them. Later on that night, we went to their house and spent Christmas Eve with them. My heart felt so full of gratitude that Heavenly Father would bless me to have been able to see one of my investigators from Bairiki and to be able to spend Christmas Eve with them! We had rice, fish and chicken. We ate in a house that was made out of wood and pieces of metal. There were no decorations or lights or a Christmas tree. There weren't any presents. Rain was falling and people gathered at the Catholic Church next door (literally like 2 metres away). But spending Christmas Eve with that family and in that way was one of the best experiences of my mission thus far. In the humblest of circumstances is sometimes where we are able to feel the greatest abundance of the Spirit. What was revealed me to that night was what truly mattered most – family!
This photo was taken on Christmas morning! It's me trying to use the phone at Teaoraereke which didn't actually work. But I did get to call my family using phones at Eita. Some missionaries were able to Skype their families which was fun because we'd then Skype-bomb their calls. Their families were so lovely though and always wanted to see us. Not sure how the missionaries felt though hahaha. Being away from family is hard period. But being away from family and friends especially at Christmas so TOUGH! But I am so grateful that I was able to talk with my family through a telephone call.
On the way to our Christmas lunch! All of the missionaries serving in Kiribati were brought in to Tarawa, which is the main island, for the Mission Tour with President Haleck. It was so awesome being able to see everyone again! Missionaries are sent to so many different outer islands and only ever come back to the main island if they are transferring or for medical reasons. It was definitely a highlight being able to see them all again!
This is Violet! The Olsons (who are currently serving as the Self-Reliance missionaries here in Kiribati and who also work closely with Renee Solomon and Dean Westerlund #ShoutOuts) children came to visit them for Christmas and this is their daughter. She's the cutest little girl and has a real sassy attitude. Kevin, the Olsons' son, is a dentist so while he was here he volunteered at the local hospital. I was able to accompany one of the sister missionaries there and it was a real eye opening experience. Let's just say, you don't to get sick and have to go there.
One of the greatest blessings from these past few weeks was being able to see Sister Baldwin again! She was transferred to Christmas Island a few months ago and is going to finish her mission there so we didn't think that we would be able to see each other again. But as soon as we did, we stuck to each other like glue. Every opportunity we could, we would be together. I love her so much. She is definitely one of the greatest friends I've made since being on my mission. When I first came to Kiribati she was one of the STL's and always gave me much needed encouragement and love. She's almost finished and I'm about to die from missing her so much. She's definitely a kindred spirit!
Introducing… Sister Moungatonga! So I gave birth a few Fridays ago. I didn't know that I was training Sister Moungatonga until a few days after Transfers were announced. Sister Mavae told me and I was so surprised and so happy. I know Sister Moungatonga from the YSA in New Zealand. I met her a couple of years ago while we were both studying and attending Institute in Auckland City.
So for New Years Eve President Haleck and President Larkin along with all of the missionaries were invited to President Taneti Mamau's (who is the president of Kiribati) house in celebration of the Mission Tour. Stupidly, I forgot to bring the camera battery for my DSLR and almost cried because of all the events I wanted to take photos at, it was this one. But luckily for us Elder Berends let us take a few photos on one of his cameras.
Elder Jim looked so handsome that I just had to share this photo! I was so proud of my little Micronesian brother. Elder Jim has come so far and I'm just the proudest big sister. It was actually so funny because one of the elders had cut his hair for the event and had given him a few designs on the back of his head so he tried using his sunglasses to cover them throughout the night. I kept trying to tell him that he should just take them off and that no one even cared. I think he kept them on until it got dark enough.
And that's a wrap guys! As you can see Sister Lee's social skills are still thriving.
Just Sister Lee, doing her thing..
Let's face it, we mostly just love seeing photos right!? So here they are..
Elder Hoskins let me cut his hair! Haha It's the second time I've cut hair and I did a better job than the first (shout out to Elder Berends for being my first victim). The great thing about serving here is that the elders get so desperate for a hair cut that they seem to ask me to cut their hair hahaha.
So one day as we were biking to one of our lessons we saw a dead pig on the beach. We felt sorry for it and pulled it in from the water and left it on the beach. Then on the way home we thought it was sad that Stewart (that's the name that we gave him) was lying there getting fried under the Kiribati sun, so we dragged him back out into the ocean haha. When I say "we" I really just mean "me". Tutu was taking pictures and just watching.
We visited our number one helper, Kaeua and her family. While we were there she was having a bath in the ocean and was playing on this log thing. I told her to jump off it a few times so I could get a good photo and she obliged. I just remember how nice it was to be with her and her family that afternoon, talking with them and catching up. Sometimes we just need a little rest every now and then and we need to be in the moment! I'm never ever going to be here again having this very experience so it's moments like these that help me to remember to treasure my time.
At the end of our Saturday we set off to try and set appointments and visit a few people that we had missed. We happened to stop by Taubo and Kiribwa's house and saw her and her sister washing clothes. They looked exhausted so we offered our services. It was the best. I'm useless and they kept laughing at how uesless I was (probably cause I had just finished bragging about how good I was – all for laughs of course) but it felt good just to really try to help. We love Kiribwa and were so happy to help her.
Teabwaabwa's daughter came back off her mission last week (served in the Philippines Cayaun Mission). Nei Ane had asked us to dance. Sister Tutu killed it with her Tongan and Samoan dances. She's so good. I watched her with so much pride and did the cheeehooo for her, cos you know how I'm secretly Tongan? Kiribwa had sewn these beautiful dresses for us for the occasion! We even showered before we went haha.
Another funny story! At the back of Taubo and Kiribwa's house live these wee little piggies. I told Imwakurite (their daughter) to catch one so I could take a photo with it. She started running after them and I tried to help to but they're so fast. Anyways, so these other little kids started helping us. One of them ended up catching one and then it started crying (the piglet) and the mumma pig started chasing us. We ran and started laughing. Luckily for us the pig was tied up haha. The whole time Sister Tutu'ila kept going on about how it was animal cruelty. Long story short, my little friend gave me the pig to hold and we took the photo. Shout out to my friends pictured here! All cred to them for the capturing of the piglet. Disclaimer: No animals were harmed in the capturing of this photo.
Ok so Elder Emor (who is from Micronesia) found this crab at the chapel the other day and picks it up and jumps in the van. A few hours later he loses it in the van and we all think that it fell out but aren't really sure. A few days later we're all in the van and all of a sudden one of the sisters scream and everyone is jumping over everyone, trying to escape. Haha we found the crab again. It had miraculously survived that whole time. Elder Emor picks up the crab (and looks at it like it's his child) and then starts playing with it. All of a sudden he breaks off the pincer and everyone's like "nooo don't do it!" Two minutes later I noticed that he didn't have the crab in his hand anymore and I asked him where it was. He started smiling like the little evil man he is and laughs. Then I was like oi he dropped the crab. Nek minnit, the crab is running all over the van and everyone's screaming. I ended up picking it up and giving it back to Elder Emor. The rest of the elders were dying laughing. It was so hilarious. Then, yes there's more, Elder Emor puts it in this empty paint tin he found at the elders' house and leaves it in the car while we all go to lunch. We came back only to find that the crab had died. These missionaries are cray!
So this photo is when Sister Heni and I were trying to unpick Sister Beria's dress because this lady had taken it in but it was too small. This was about 5 minutes before the Zone Leaders showed up to take us to District Meeting haha. We got the skills to pay the bills.
It's the People!!
For a while now I've really wanted to share a few thoughts, feelings and experiences all about those we've taught and are currently teaching, the members in the ward and the missionaries I serve alongside. Over the years I've heard so many returned missionaries (no doubt you have too) claim that their missions were the best out of them all. I've pondered on that and have realised just what makes a mission "the best" for the missionary – it's the people! These are a few of the people that have become my family these past four months in Kiribati and have made my mission truly the best!
Teabwaabwa & Nei Ane
When I first met Teabwaabwa I didn't really like him. During lessons he would constantly tease and play around. At that stage I was still way too uptight and serious and thought he was wasting our time. Anyways fast forward to now and my feelings have completely changed since those first few times. I have so much love for this man. He has overcome so much to get to where he is. We have been teaching him ever since I arrived in Kiribati and altogether, missionaries have been teaching him for almost a year. His wife, Nei Ane, is a member however she is not a citizen of Kiribati. Coupled with that is the fact that they aren't married and so before Teabwaabwa can be baptised, Nei Ane must obtain citizenship and then they must be married. The process of Nei Ane obtaining citizenship has been slow and is still very much a work in progress however in my opinion it's been a great refining process for all involved, including myself. Faith has been fortified and perspectives enlarged. Teabwaabwa's like the angry old man that we all live next to who spends his time sleeping, eating, lying down on his buia playing candy crush or something similar, fishing, cruising around on his bike with his snap back, harassing small children and playing cards in the mwaneaba (in particular a card game called "Sorry"). Every time our bikes need fixing he fixes them. Yes, he complains and almost dies from lung exhaustion, huffing and puffing, but he does it nevertheless. He also tries to teach us big Kiribati words that we can use to make us look smart. His wife, Nei Ane, makes a savoury treat called mwakerukeru (which is like a thin, super thin, dough that is deep fried) every day and sells it to the children that live around her house for 10cents a pop. We've helped her a few times for service. When I say help, I mean I've just sat down and entertained them all with my stories and personality while they work. One time Teabwaabwa and I played checkers (he waaaaasted me of course but I just pretended it was because I hadn't played in a while but really…) and while we were playing he made this little baby cry by telling him to go away. The baby just stood there crying and crying and crying. Teabwaabwa just went back to playing checkers. On another day for our lunch break, we went to their house to play cards, you know as you do. I didn't know it until the end of the game but he and I were supposed to be partners. He kept getting mad at me during the game but I just thought he was getting jealous because I was winning as old men do. Meanwhile Nei Ane is laughing her head off and I don't know why. I was so lost. In the end Teabwaabwa and I ended up winning which is all that really matters. It was the most hilarious game of cards I've ever played.
Taubo & Kiribwa
We began teaching Imwakurite (who is Taubo and Kiribwa's daughter) a few months ago. She is one of the smartest young women I know. After she got baptised she would walk to Church by herself every Sunday. Taubo and Kiribwa saw her example and from there, told us that they wanted to hear our message. They wanted to learn more and support Imwakurite in her spiritual journey. Taubo is amazing! He has a problem with the Word of Wisdom (which he is still working through), with cigarettes in particular. When we first taught him about the Word of Wisdom he admitted that he would consume about 20 cigarettes each day. That was a few weeks ago. In a short amount of time he was cut that down to 5! If that's not a miracle then I don't know what is. Each time we would commit him to decrease the amount of cigarettes he consumed, he was up for the challenge. Kiribwa and Imwakurite were always there to watch him (most times like hawks) and support him. A few times after lessons they would pull out freshly cooked fish for us to eat accompanied with either rice or donuts. Taubo loves eating donuts with fish. One time they didn't have any donuts and so they told Taubo's brother to go and buy some. He had just come back from buying salt which made us feel so bad. We jokingly said that he probably hates us for making him go out and work and buy donuts when all he wants to do is watch the soccer games that were on (their house is right across from the soccer field in Bairiki). Two weeks ago when we visited them they told us that the fishermen they hire had gone missing. They loved him like family and were so sad. We began praying for them and encouraged them to do so as well. A week went by without any word. Taubo went with a few officials to try and find them by air but no luck. Kiribati officials had asked the New Zealand Coastguard to help. We taught Taubo and Kiribwa about fasting and encouraged them to fast. Kiribwa had taken on the challenge and the family were continuing to pray for the lost fishermen. Each time we would meet them for lessons we would try and share a message of comfort and faith but we could feel their sadness. Last week we stopped in to say hello and Kiribwa told us that the New Zealand Coastguard had found the fishermen in Marshall Islands waters! What a miracle and what a testimony building experience for Taubo and Kiribwa about prayer and fasting. We were so happy to hear that they were found safe and all were healthy, hungry but healthy. We left their home feeling so much joy. An hour or so later as we were biking to Nanikai we saw Taubo and Kiribwa drive past. We waved and as we did so we saw a head pop out of the car window and wave at us. It was one of the lost fisherman. I'll never forget his bright smile and enthusiastic wave. His face was full of utter joy.
Neiman is probably one of the most unexpected investigators we've found. During our first lesson with her, we invited her to be baptised but she declined admitting that her mother was a member of the KPC (Kiribati Protestant Church) and she was afraid to be baptised as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as her mother would be upset with her. She however, still wanted to continue having lessons with us. I was a little perplexed at how she didn't want to be baptised for fear of her mother but still wanted to continue having lessons. I admittedly, was sceptical at how much she would progress. As the lessons went on she began asking us to pray for her. We could see that her desire to be baptised was increasing. At one stage we felt inspired to teach her about fasting. We taught her the lesson and committed her to fast along with us to help her with the barriers she was facing to being baptised. We were supposed to fast on a Saturday night but had a dinner appointment so we would have opened our fast late in the night. We told Neiman (which was on Wednesday) and she told us we should just fast right then and there. And so we did. We came back the next day, all three of us with grumbling stomachs, to have our lesson and close our fast. At the end of the lesson we invited her to baptised and she said yes. She said that she knew that the Book of Mormon was true and she knew that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was Christ's church. We all wept with joy and felt our souls fill with the Spirit of the Holy Ghost. She's going to be baptised in a few weeks and I know for sure that it'll be one of the most memorable experiences of her life. One thing I love about Neiman is that every time we bring her a treat she gets so excited. She loves lollies and chocolate and even told us a few times not to give any to her daughter but to give it to her instead haha.
We first met Mwarua when his younger cousin Ioio referred him to us. She didn't know that he had already been baptised in Kuria, which is an outer island, and was so upset with herself when she found out in our first lesson with them. We tried to assure her that it was fine and we appreciated her efforts. We continued teaching Mwarua anyway because he had recently been baptised and hadn't completed his lessons. In such a short amount of time we became really good friends with him. He is so funny and constantly makes us laugh. A few times we've tried to teach him a few phrases in English such as: "Oh my gosh!" and "What the heck." We always crack up after he says because he sounds a little bit fobby. What I love most about Mwarua is the emphasis and importance he places on our lessons. Whenever we schedule lessons he always tries his best to be there. If he forgets or is busy he's always so apologetic. He is so good at cleaning and washing clothes (a lot of Kiribati men clean and wash). He's also a really great cook. The few times we've had dinner with him and his family him and his cousin have cooked all of the food. We always tell them that their wives are going to be so blessed!
We've been teaching Jojo ever since I arrived here in Kiribati. What I admire about Jojo is his desire to live a righteous life despite his personal circumstances that seem to be working against him. The house he lives in usually gets visited by police every now and then as we'd be teaching a lesson. At first I just thought that police would come and visit people's homes in Kiribati looking for drugs and illegally made alcohol but then I realised that I only saw them come through this particular house and realised there was probably a reason. Drunk people always greet and farewell us as we come and go from our lessons with Jojo. A few times some drunk men have tried to touch us but they've been so drunk that it's easy to dodge them. I just laugh a little to myself and accept it as all part of the experience. One time a drunk man actually stroked Sister Tutu'ila's cheek. She felt so violated afterwards. It was so hilarious. Jojo and his family are so good though. Whenever they see that we are coming they always make sure that we aren't in any real danger. Jojo is one of the kindest people I have met. He has such a soft, sweet spirit. He's quite quiet but we have become good friends over the past couple of months. I know that there is so much going on in his life but despite that, he tries his very best to keep his covenants and live the gospel as best as he can. Through his example I have learnt a lot.
Oh my goodness, where do I start with Kaeua! I think she was the very first investigator that I had met when I came to Kiribati. She has the most beautiful smile and the sweetest personality. She truly has a heart of GOLD. We've nicknamed her the "tia ngare" because she laughs all day every day. Her laugh is the type of laugh where when you hear it, it makes you want to laugh as well. When we were still teaching her she would always have crackers or donuts with cordial (sweetened water) waiting for us after lessons. My favourite memory with Kaeua was when she accompanied us to a lesson with Boobu. It was our last lesson with him because he was leaving for an outer island the following day. We arrived at his house only to discover that he was drunk. He began calling my name to which I quickly made a swift exit. We all left and then started debriefing. Sister Tuilotolava and I were speaking in English trying to make sense of what just happened. Meanwhile Kaeua not understanding what we were talking about, began asking us if we could roam around on the bikes now that we didn't have a lesson to teach. We both looked at her as if she was crazy. It was about 8:30pm at night and we needed to get her home. Apart from her hilarious personality she is one of the most friendliest people I have met. She always fellowships investigators and new converts. She is always inviting people to activities and getting involved. She has taught me what it really means to be a missionary.
One of my most treasured experiences with Taarea occurred the day after he was baptised. We were talking with him and asking him how he felt about his baptism. He told us that when he was baptised he felt Heavenly Father forgive his sins. He's so young but the way he thinks and feels is that of someone older. Before and after Taarea was baptised he got involved with the Primary in the ward. One of the proudest moments of my mission was walking up to the chapel and seeing Taarea lead members of Primary in a practice for their performance. He stood with such confidence and power. I know that as he continues on in his discipleship he will be a great leader in the Church and in his family. I feel so privileged to have been a part of his journey.
Kaeua, Taarea and Aukitino are all siblings. We had taught Kaeua first and then Taarea. After Taarea was baptised Aukitino had expressed that he wanted to hear our message and be baptised also. At first he was shy and didn't have many friends. During lessons it was hard to get him to open up to us and share his thoughts or some of his struggles. Little by little he's improved and now he's so comfortable and open with us. He struggled to read the Book of Mormon. We'd constantly try to get him to read and would read with him also but on his own, he just didn't. During one lesson, Sister Tuilotolava had shared a scripture which seemed to make something stir within him. Each time we would follow up with him from that point on he would always report that he read the Book of Mormon each day. To see the change within him has been a most rewarding experience indeed. Just like his siblings, his soft, sweet spirit and friendliness has increased my love for him.
When we first met Tebwateki he was working as a security guard at the chapel. We would teach him every day that he worked. What I saw very early on was how well he kept his scriptures and the lesson pamphlets we would give him. When he would pull them out for lessons he would do so with the greatest care. Tebwateki understood the importance of scriptures and how we should care for them. It was such a treasure to see especially after seeing dust covered and torn Books of Mormon all of the time. During lessons with Tebwateki what I appreciated was his concentration and focus. When we would teach him, he was always engaged in the lessons, trying his best to understand what was being taught. There was one time where I was just struggling so bad, feeling so discouraged with the language and feeling as though I couldn't communicate or fulfil my purpose as a missionary but Tebwateki's concentration and slight nods of encouragement helped me to continue on and to keep pressing forward.
One day as we were biking to an appointment we passed by a store and some guys were saying hello. One of them shouted out to us that he had a referral. We stopped and started talking with them. The man told us that his friend wanted to take lessons. We asked who his friend was and there popped out Boobai with a smile on his face and a wave of his hand. From there we began our friendship with him. He was only available to be taught on weekends because he would study during the week and then work part time on week nights. One of the great blessings was hearing that he wanted to go on a mission. He lives with a friend who served in Fiji and had recently married in the temple. One night his friend had shared a few mission experiences with him and from there Boobai's desire to serve grew. A few weeks ago we had dinner with him and his family and he had prepared a spiritual thought to share. I felt so much pride as he shared his spiritual thought and could imagine him in a year or so, with a white shirt on and a badge on his chest as a missionary sharing spiritual thoughts with those he is teaching.
Higher Ground
On preparation day we decided to go to Betio Wharf. This is where freight, cargo and large passenger boats dock. The water is this beautiful blue colour and it just makes you want to jump in. It's the most beautiful sight I've ever seen. We spent some time walking around the wharf watching a few kids fish and taking photos on one of the fishing boats. While on our way back to the van I thought it would be cool to climb down this massive rock/concrete formations for a picture right next to the beautiful blue water. My intentions were completely innocent. All I wanted and all I focused on was how awesome the photo would be. I was so determined to get it that I didn't consider anything else. I began the descent cautiously, making sure not to fall through any of the large cracks. Very carefully I would place my feet here and there, holding onto rocks for support. I was very conscious of the fact that should I fall I would very easily break a bone and more than likely be sent home to recover. This was not what I wanted indeed. Very quickly, but carefully I made it to the bottom of the rocks. I crouched down, waiting for the other missionaries to make the descent. As I was crouching down, trying to get closer to the water I suddenly felt myself slipping. Within a few seconds I felt that my lower body was wet and was in the water. Immediately I scrambled to get hold of the rock that was nearest to me in an effort to pull myself out of the water. I tried to regain my footing but my I kept slipping on the moss that I hadn't before seen. Panic and fear started to grip me. Desperately I tried but my attempts seemed to be in vain. The fear I felt in that moment was a different type of fear. I didn't fear falling into the water and drowning for I knew that I was a competent swimmer. What I feared was falling into the water period. I knew that it was against mission rules for missionaries to swim and more than anything I didn't want to fall into the water completely and have to swim in any way at all. I guess the fear in a way was a fear of sin. My companion and another missionary heard my panic and very quickly made their way down to help me. I managed to regain my footing and with their help I was pulled out of the water. We took the photo but the feeling wasn't as sweet as I had imagined it would be. My desire to take the photo had all but left me after what had happened. All I wanted was to get up and onto higher ground where safety would be found. I managed to climb back up the rocks and onto solid, non-slippery ground. Relief consumed me. My companion and the other missionary then pointed out that I was bleeding. I looked down at my legs and noticed that I had a few scratches and cuts here and there. I then noticed pain coming from my hands and looked down to see that there were a few scratches also.
Food is Life.
For breakfast I have Weet-Bix. I used to eat this back in New Zealand anyway so it wasn't a major transition. I began eating it with milk (when I say milk I really just mean milk powder and water). Every now and then we'd get bananas so I'd throw a couple in there too. Now when I can get it, I use soy milk, which I actually really love. Normal cow's milk is expensive and only comes in cardboard cartons, not in a plastic or glass bottle like at home. Most times though, because we're poor I'll heat up some water in the microwave and put my Weet-Bix in, allowing it to soak up the water. It looks like baby food but I'm not fussed. Obviously I have preferences to eat it with soy milk and bananas but when you learn to make do and just appreciate what you have.
Lunches are a little bit of a mix. If we have left overs we'll eat that. Otherwise I'll have a peanut butter sandwich. Sometimes I'll have donuts and bananas with peanut butter. Or other days it could be rice, sweet corn (from a can) and peanut butter. As you can tell, I eat a lot of peanut butter. When I first came I just ate the peanut butter from the store (which is actually from China) and thought it tasted fine. But we got given some Skippy peanut butter (I think it's an American brand of peanut butter) and now, everything else tastes disgusting.
Also, most times we're given cordial (sweetened water) to drink. I prefer drinking water that hasn't been sweetened but Kiribati people love sugar in everything they eat and drink. That was probably the hardest thing to adjust to – consuming so much sugar in food and especially drink but I just drink small amounts at appointments and then gulp down a whole bottle of water afterwards. Speaking of water. We're encouraged not to drink water that hasn't been filtered but it's rude if you don't drink what people have prepared so we just drink whatever they give us. At home though there is a water filter system and we use that. It was a huge change not being able to drink straight from the tap but I'm used to it now.

Posted: 25 August 2010 by
It might seem as though Summer is over, but Courvoisier is flying the flag for the season with a Foursquare promotion linked to 15 bars across London.
Users of the location-based social network will be able to check into 15 London bars serving Courvoisier cocktails in limited edition punch bowls.
Everyone who checks in to the venue will compete (against other punch-drinking Foursquare users) to win their own punch kit. All they need to do is take the most imaginative picture with the punchbowl and upload it to Twitter or Facebook. One winner will be chosen each night.
Participating bars include Aragon House, Camino, Lost Angel, Saf and The Hawksmoor.
The UK's marketing manager for Courvoisier, Janice Mcintosh explains: "By embracing social media such as Facebook, Twitter and now Foursquare, not only are we building deeper relationships with our consumers, we are also growing the numbers of Cognac drinkers by appealing to a younger audience."
The overall best picture will win a VIP trip to the Courvoisier chateau in France for two.
This follows Courvoisier's Architectural Punchbowl project with Bompas & Parr, which saw the brand create the world's largest ever punchbowl - a four tonne cocktail in the Sierra Leone Embassy building.

The introductory remarks by which a speaker is presented to his audience are an important aspect of public speaking. Introductions typically are so bad that one of America's greatest lecturers, Mark Twain, refused to let anyone introduce him; he simply walked out on the stage alone and introduced himself. There are, however, important reasons a speaker ought to be introduced; and there are guidelines for both the speaker and the introducer that should be honored.
Why should a speaker be introduced to an audience which already knows him/her well? There are several reasons, each of which is important:
1. No matter how fully speakers are members of the group - well-acquainted, well-liked, well-known - when they speak, they separate themselves from the listeners. They stand and talk, while the audience sits and listens. If, for no other reason, there should be an introduction of speakers as a brief ritual or ceremony, marking the significance of the speakers' transition from being in the group to stepping forth in front to lead its thinking.
2. Listeners will be a more perceptive and appreciative audience if they understand what the speaker is undertaking. If the project is to clarify an idea, that is quite different than if he or she is trying to persuade them to accept his or her point of view. One function of the introduction is to establish the proper "mental set," so the group will know what to look for.
3. Even when the speaker is well-known, the audience might not know what special reason he or she has for speaking about the chosen topic, or about his or her special experience or expertness concerning it. A good introduction contributes to the speaker's authority by making it clear that he or she speaks from special preparation, knowledge, or experience.
4. Whatever is happening in the meeting before a speaker is introduced - whether a preceding speech, a Table Topics discussion, a brief social break, or something else - the atmosphere relates to what has been occurring, not to what will occur. A function of the speech of introduction is to "build a bridge" from where the thoughts of the group are at the moment to where the speaker wants them to be. Thus, the introducer might say, "We have been engaged in serious discussion (or in relaxed conversation, or in listening to an explanation of a new tax law); now I invite your attention to something quite new and different. Henry Jones will speak to us about..."
As these four functions of the speech of introduction are considered, it becomes apparent that this is not merely a perfunctory task, to be tossed off hastily and casually. A good introduction is as important to a speech as an attractive waiting room is for a business or professional person, or as the front yard is for a home. When you have the opportunity to present a speech of introduction, undertake the job seriously. It is an occasion for additional speaking experience, fully as valuable in its own way as the special projects which feature you as the speaker.
Speeches of introduction should not be flat or stereotyped. They should be graceful, witty, and fun... fun to hear and fun to give. Here is a set of guidelines that will serve as a handy system in organizing facts that have been collected about the speaker. It is the "T-I-S formula" as presented by Dale Carnegie in his book, Effective Speaking:
1. T stands for Topic. Start your introduction by giving the exact title of your speaker's talk.
2. I stands for Importance. In this step you bridge over the area between the topic and the particular interest of the group.
3. S stands for Speaker. Here you list the speaker's outstanding qualifications, particularly those that relate to his/her topic. Finally, you give the speaker's name, distinctly and clearly.
From this point you can use your imagination. Tying the formula to the information that you have gathered, take no more than 30 to 45 seconds to introduce your speaker. Make it short and make it count.

Did you know that an estimated one in 20 patients pick up infections at medical facilities in the United States? These are infections that patients did not have at arrival. Moreover, some are incredibly difficult to treat.
Fight carpal tunnel with these important tips
Do you type for hours at a computer? Doing work with your hands can lead to various injuries, including harm to your wrist and nerves. A common disorder that results from such repetitive hand use is carpal tunnel syndrome. Experts note that the condition is most common in people that use their hands daily in the work setting.

National Council on Disability urges increase to SSI asset limits
Supplemental Security Income, or SSI is a Social Security disability program that provides basic subsistence benefits for disabled children or those who are blind, over 65, or permanently disabled, but don't qualify for the larger Social Security Disability Insurance program. The reason the vast majority of SSI beneficiaries don't qualify for SSDI is either because they have never been able to work or they haven't worked enough time counting toward the insurance program.
Study: diagnostic errors may harm or kill 160,000 every year
A new study by researchers at Baltimore's Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine has come as quite a surprise to many in the medical field. After analyzing more than 350,000 medical malpractice claims that resulted in awards to injured patients, the researchers found that diagnostic errors -- misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis or failure to diagnose patients' conditions at all -- were responsible for approximately 35 percent of those claims.
Family wins wrongful death lawsuit for 2009 car accident
Fighting for what is right is not always the easy thing to do. This is especially true after the death of a loved one. While our instincts may be to put tragedy behind us and move on with our lives, sometimes standing up for what is right is more important than simply letting it go. The following is the story of one Maryland family who did just that after losing their sole teenage daughter to serious injuries she sustained in an auto accident while en route to her bus stop back in September 2009.
Man crushed to death in mystery accident with tipper truck
A family is looking to find answers in the workplace accident that claimed the life of their loved one. The man was a beloved husband, father and grandfather. All members of the family are deeply troubled by the accident that claimed him, but are further troubled that no one can explain his untimely death.
A denied SSDI application can be appealed in Maryland
It can be beyond discouraging when an individual in Maryland sees their application for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits denied. Many feel hopeless when already faced with struggle. A denied SSDI application can feel insurmountable, but many individuals do not realize that there is an appeals process, meaning that an initially denied claim does not mean that an individual will never receive SSDI benefits.
Jury awards millions to parents of daughter with cerebral palsy
It is difficult to describe the pain of a family in Maryland left devastated because the delivery of what was supposed to be a healthy baby went horribly wrong. Not only can these resulting birth injuries change the trajectory of the child's life and development, but in many instances it also saddles parents with the financial burden of astronomical medical and long-term care expenses.
Rider sustains serious injuries in Maryland motorcycle crash
A recent motorcycle crash in Maryland serves as a reminder that with spring approaching, more motorcyclists will be on the road and Maryland drivers need to be more watchful. A driver's negligence in noticing motorcyclists around him or her can lead to the rider suffering very serious injuries.
Maryland residents with disabilities should accept deserved help
Some individuals in Maryland that are unable to work because of a debilitating condition desperately need financial assistance, but are reluctant to pursue available avenues. Why? Unfortunately, there is a level of stigma propagated by uninformed parties and biased media surrounding the receipt of benefits. It is important to address these issues so that more people can seek help.
What sort of injury risks can a Maryland office worker face?
Workplace safety is by and large focused on preventing injuries in Maryland. Most often people think that this means properly training employees to use heavy machinery, inspecting machinery and outfitting workers with proper protective gear. While all of those things are critical to the safety of workers across Maryland, workplace safety can extend far beyond that. Workplace safety can also include adequate security, or educating office workers about correcting their posture.
Major motor vehicle accident shuts down I-95
At any given point in the day, there is likely a large commercial truck driving down Interstate 95. From package delivery drivers to large 18-wheel-semi-trucks, commercial drivers are always present on the roads. Most Maryland drivers are used to sharing the road with these giants but just a like large animal, if one gets too close, it could be extremely dangerous. Any time a large truck or commercial vehicle is involved in a motor vehicle accident, serious injuries and heavy damage are a possibility.
Routine procedure goes terribly awry, settlement reached
For most teenagers in Maryland, fears around having their wisdom teeth removed are primarily confined to going to class with cheeks that are inflated like a chipmunk's. Having wisdom teeth extracted is a very common procedure that is most typically met with very minimal complications. Unfortunately, when a doctor, surgeon or any other medical professional is careless, even the most routine of procedures can go tragically awry.
Brachial plexus injuries seeing advances with new technology
The death or injury of a child at birth is a devastating fate to happen to any parents in Maryland or elsewhere. In some instances, fetal demise or injury is the result of circumstances that were unavoidable. In other instances, an infant does not survive or is seriously injured because of negligence on behalf of a medical professional or hospital staff.
President announces initiative to map human brain
In our last post, we discussed the manner in which research is underway that could mean an ability to identify genetic markers of mental illnesses. However, in some mental illnesses, the condition is brought about by trauma to the brain. Very often, veterans with traumatic brain injuries develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Additionally, victims of car accidents or workplace accidents can suffer a traumatic brain injury that impacts the manner that they express or feel emotions.
Enforcement of workplace safety measures often lax
While there are avenues for financial recovery following a workplace accident or illness in Maryland, many feel that there is not enough that is done by way of prevention. Small safety measures can often go a long way, yet these small measures are often ignored by employers that are looking to save costs at the expense of their workers' health.
Wrong way driver smashes into van on Maryland highway
One must remain alert when driving the roads even when weather conditions are perfect. Traffic signals, construction sites and, perhaps most dangerous of all, other drivers are all potential causes of auto accidents.

how do i buy 2 different products in the same order?
