The signs are multiplying. New York's shelter system is reeling from the rise in homeless families. Food pantries are reporting a spike in the number of elderly people and children standing in line for their next meal.
Everyone hopes that the next mayor New York City elects will be confronted with problems such as which tax to cut or how to best improve the parks. But an economic downturn raises the possibility that his first big challenge will be a surge in the number of dislocated poor people who will turn to the city for food and shelter.
Right now, applications for shelter are running 30 percent higher than last year. The homeless population could grow even greater when the weather turns cold this coming winter. Food pantries and soup kitchens around the city serve 500,000 people a month -- and requests for emergency food are said to have risen dramatically. At the end of the year nearly 39,000 families, or roughly 75,000 people, reach the five-year lifetime limit on federal welfare aid and are removed from the rolls. The state will provide more restrictive assistance under a new and still evolving program. But families will have to reapply in order to get the state aid, a procedure that always leads to confusion, with people falling through the cracks and applicants who are actually qualified for aid being rejected.
The candidates for mayor have not, in general, attempted to duck the issue of what they would do about the homeless and hungry. But for the most part their campaigns address people who are concerned about other things, like neighborhood services and how to consolidate the Giuliani administration's crime-fighting successes.
The growing number of distressed poor families has to become one of the main points of discussion in this campaign. Voters who do not ask about it now may find themselves demanding answers later, especially if desperate New Yorkers begin to spill out of the shelters and back onto the sidewalks and streets.Continue reading the main story

|Maven: How can I run/include a class in a jar with the failsafe plugin?
|Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:23:28 GMT
I've made my own test runner for integration tests that I want to execute, but I've put it in a reusable jar. I'm trying to tell failsafe to use it but I'm not sure how to because [the documentation for includes][1] says: > A list of <include> elements specifying the tests (by pattern) that should be included in testing. When not specified and when the test parameter is not specified, the default includes will be > <includes> <include>**/IT*.java</include> <include>**/*IT.java</include> <include>**/*ITCase.java</include> </includes> > Each include item may also contain a comma-separated sublist of items, which will be treated as multiple <include> entries. This parameter is ignored if the TestNG suiteXmlFiles parameter is specified. But this test runner is in the classpath, not on the filesystem. How can I tell failsafe to use my class runner and only my class runner?

Title: Sway
Rating: T
Characters: Ziva, Abby, Gibbs, Tony, McGee
Pairings: Ziva/Abby
Summary/Note: Written for NFA's Secret Santa 2011 for MoreZabby. Some license taken with the building. But who doesn't. Hope you like it Hannah! Brief bit of French is translated at the end. This developed a bit of angst I didn't intend, oops.
Ziva stood in the middle of the room, her phone on the bench filling the small space with music. Her right hand lay on her stomach as she shuffled along with the rhythm, her hips swaying along. "One two, one two three," she counted quietly. "One two, one two three."
Abby rapped quietly on the wall, trying to subtly attract Ziva's attention. The music seemed to make her uncharacteristically unaware of her surroundings as she did not even twitch in Abby's general direction. Abby flipped the light switch a few times and Ziva instantly twirled around to face her. "Sorry," Abby said, wringing her hands. "Gibbs sent me to get you since you weren't answering your phone. Didn't mean to intrude or anything. Didn't know you danced. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I mean what can't you do?"
"Apparently," Ziva interjected into the pause, "Get you to stop rambling." Her teasing smile belied the ostensible harshness of her words. Having gathered her things she held open the door for Abby to precede her out. "Thank you for coming to get me though. Better you than one of the guys, yes?"
Abby laughed at the thought. "Somehow I think Tony's already seen the inside of the Women's Locker Room." Her overly dramatic tone gave the phrase a veneer of mystical wonder. She straightened up, becoming perfectly prim and proper. "And Gibbs is far too gallant for any such shenanigans."
"It means...I guess mischief is the best way to put it. But sometimes it's a good thing, and sometimes it's a bad thing."
As the pair rounded the corner and neared the bullpen McGee caught up to them. "Shenanigans?" he asked curiously.
"It is nothing McGee," Ziva explained.
"Just talking to Ziva about locker room shenanigans," Abby added.
"Secret ladies' locker room shenanigans," Tony whispered, half in remembrance and half in awe, closing his eyes and leaning back in his chair as if picturing a scene. "Just imagine them, dressed on—" a wadded up ball of paper struck him in the back of the head. Startled, he immediately sat up straight and looked around.
Gibbs strode into the bullpen. "Daydream's over lover-boy. Caught a break in the Martinez case. Director wants two of us to meet with the lead investigator from the FBI and the others to start processing a possible site where he may have been held. DiNozzo, you're with me." He turned to Ziva and McGee. "You two, the scene."
"Sure thing boss," McGee chirped. He smirked slightly at Tony. "He needs a firm hand sometimes, I understand."
"Does that still count as a Gibbs-slap?" Ziva whispered to Abby as she picked up her gear.
"Gibbs-slap 2.0," Abby quipped as they walked away. "Now with new and improved long-range paper technology."
"Phew!" Ziva exclaimed with relief as she sat back down in her chair hours later. "They did not tell us it would be that remote."
"Getting soft in your new American life?" McGee teased, though he looked even more worn.
"I am not 'soft,'" she protested "I was just not expecting it to be quite like that."
"Well going on what I saw earlier," Abby interjected, startling McGee who hadn't seen her lurking in the corner, "I imagine you've got to have pretty soft hands, at least when you want to. Otherwise your partner might not appreciate your manhandling them in what usually should be a tender moment."
"Wait, what?" McGee sputtered, his mind clearly struggling to make the connections between what she said and what she meant.
Abby rolled her eyes. "McGee. Mind. Gutter. Out. I was talking about dancing."
"Er, of course," he agreed.
"Speaking of dancing," Ziva stated, "I have an extra ticket to a Christmas party at the Latino Cultural Center tomorrow night if anyone is interested. Javier canceled on me."
"Ooo," Abby teased, intrigued. "Who's Javier?"
"A friend," Ziva replied. "A gay friend if you must know. Very good dancer."
"Sorry, I can't," McGee told her honestly. "Courtside seats to see the Hoyas take on the Terps."
"College basketball," Abby explained, forestalling Ziva's inevitable query. "Tony would be jealous."
McGee just smirked and said nothing.
"Anyway," Abby said to Ziva, "I'd be happy to go with you. Can't promised my dancing skills are anything special though. Sometimes I mix up my merengue with my macarena. Well, not literally, I just like the alliteration."
"I am sure you will be fine," Ziva assured her. "And you do not have to dance if you do not want to. Though I hope you will."
A blaring sound pierced the air, emanating from Abby's pocket. She pulled out her phone, checked the screen, and said, "Results should be in by now on that unknown substance."
"In case I do not remember to tell you later," Ziva said, "It is at 8. I will call them to change the name for the other ticket."
"Great!" Abby exclaimed brightly, bounding off back to her lab.
"Mais, de l'autre côté il faut aussi qu'on voie les couleurs de la même façon que Van Gogh. Son état mental a déterminé ses choix. Il—"* Abby's hand came down gently on Ziva's shoulder, cutting her off mid-sentence. Ziva looked up. "Abby!"
"Only you would be discussing things in French at this kind of event," Abby joked. She nodded to the man across the table. "Who's your friend here?"
"Isaac Feuzeu," he said, standing up and smoothing out his suit jacket before offering her his hand.
"Abby Scuito. Hope Ziva here wasn't intimidating you with her awesome lingual skills. I swear she knows how to say something in every language."
"Abby..." Ziva protested.
"No no," Isaac said. "She more than held up her own in the conversation. It was good to have someone to practice with. My father is from Cameroon but I do not have many opportunities to drag out my French. Well. I won't interrupt you two ladies any longer. Have a pleasant evening." He drifted off through the crowd near the dance floor.
"Hope I didn't interrupt anything there," Abby fretted, coming to sit across Ziva. She adjusted her lacy black skirt to fit in the confines of the chair. "He seemed nice enough, though kind of in a hurry to leave."
Ziva shook off the comment with a wave of her hand. "I do not really know that much about Impressionism. I think he was looking to...win with me."
"Score. But close. In that case I feel twice as bad. I mean everybody's got needs you know? I hate to think I've hurt yours just because I showed up."
Ziva leaned over the table, calmly placing her right hand over Abby's left. "Abby, it is alright. I came here with you yes?" A moment passed in silence until Ziva stood up, her hand trailing off Abby's. "So, what do you say to a drink? I hear they have some excellent Argentinian wines." She held her arm out for Abby to take.
Abby giggled and stood up, looping her arm through Ziva's. "Thank you kind sir." They ambled over to one of the several makeshift bars that had been set up.
Ziva's eyes roamed the selections. She bent down to read a note beside a large punchbowl. "Egg...nog? I think I have heard of that before but I do not believe that I have ever actually had any."
"No time like the present then." Abby turned to the bartender. "Two please." Before Abby could even hand Ziva her glass a man stumbled up to her, clearly drunk.
"You have pretty eyes," he slurred. "Wanna dance?"
"No thank you," Abby said politely but firmly.
"Why not?" he whined.
Ziva stepped between them, poised to physically intervene if he became more threatening. "I believe the lady said no."
Drunk or not the man couldn't help but realize he was going to get nowhere. "Fucking dykes," he spat at them angrily before walking away.
Abby froze, too stunned to bother to correct him.
The bartender's eyes shifted between the two of them, clearly at a loss as to how to respond to what had just happened. "Sometimes I think the words 'open bar' just bring out all the creepers," she offered.
Abby unfroze slowly and shot her a reassuring smile, handing Ziva her glass as they walked away.
Ziva looked uncertainly at Abby for a moment but took the glass and sniffed at it carefully. "There is no actual egg in here, yes?"
"Sometimes. Depends on the recipe I guess."
Ziva stopped. "Abby, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. People like that though...I don't mean drunk people but people like, well, you know, there's just no point in talking to them and that's sad. Whether they're right or wrong about their assumptions, they'll never hear anything but their own voice trumpeting inside their head. Imagine how much of the beauty and the...and the joy of life they're missing out on by carrying that attitude around." Abby shrugged. "Their loss I guess, but it doesn't make it any easier to witness."
Seeing that their prime real estate had been occupied in their absence Ziva steered them over to a tall circular table. She put down her glass and looked pointedly at Abby, shaking her head. "I do not know how you do it. You manage to care for everything and everyone you cross paths with even if they do not show you the same affection. It is true that guy does not know you like I do but that anyone would act like that to anyone else, let alone someone as genuinely kind as you, it is disgusting. Yes there are worse problems in the world, but something about that...it is different with you."
"Thanks Ziva. Really." That moment the brass band struck up a lively tune. Abby smiled brightly. "Now, how about you show off some of those dancing skills?"
"Agreed," Ziva said. She enthusiastically joined the large circle of dancers that had already formed, Abby a little more reluctantly.
Abby kept a carefully eye on the feet of the other dancers, trying to copy what they did. She had a decent sense of rhythm, but incorporating movements she was unfamiliar with was another matter altogether.
Ziva laughed at her scientific attention to detail. "Do not try so hard. It is more the feel of the dance."
"Easy for you to say," Abby grumbled. She narrowly avoided knocking ankles with the man next to her, kicking right when she should have kicked left.
The song ended with a resounding horn blast and the crowd on the dance floor applauded as they dispersed into smaller groups. "That was not so bad was it?" Ziva said. A new song and Ziva cocked her head, listening intently for a moment before she moved so Abby could see her whole body clearly. "Now this is more with the hips. Like that video McGee took of Tony playing with that round thing."
"The hula hoop."
"Yes, like that." Ziva stepped forward and backward, her hips tilting enticingly. "One two three, one two three. Try it."
Abby stepped and swayed in time to the beat, but couldn't quite make it look the same as when Ziva did it.
Ziva watched her efforts with a pensive look. "Hmm, perhaps there is another way I can show you." She reached out towards Abby. "May I?"
"Um, sure." Abby didn't know exactly what Ziva had in mind but she trusted her implicitly.
Ziva placed her hands on Abby's hips, alternating moving them to the music. "See, it is almost like you are isolating your hips from the rest of your body and just moving them."
Abby nodded.
Ziva slowly moved her hands away as the song ended. "I think that you can do it on your own now."
"But what if I don't want to," Abby murmured to herself. She focused back on Ziva and asked suddenly, "Would you like to walk around a bit? I know it's a bit cold out but there's an amazing light display at Dupont Circle that's worth seeing."
"The cold does not bother me if it does not bother you."
Abby led the way out of the building, stopping to pick up their coats from the coat check and to carefully bundle up before heading out. Once outside she stuffed her hands in her coat pockets and nodded to the right. "It's this way." They walked down the sadly snow-less streets in companionable silence for several minutes until Abby spoke. "You know, I think there may have been a point to that guy's drunken rambling."
They stopped at a crosswalk as a lone car sped by. They crossed over to the edge of the circle, sparsely populated with others dropping by to look at the lights. "Abby, just because you can see potential worth in a person does not mean you have to believe that anything they say has worth. And it is not as if he said very much anyhow."
"No I mean more something he implied. And that Isaac guy seemed to pick up on it too. You know what if, what if all this time we've been talking and joking assuming one thing, but there's been something else going on. What if, somewhere along the line, something changed? Maybe somewhere, and I don't know where or when or anything, but...maybe I stopped joking?"
"No, you don't need to say anything. In fact it might be best if you don't say anything. I can pretend this was all in my head. Just chalk this up to a little too much eggnog and we can just forget any—" her words were smothered as Ziva's lips captured hers. Her split-second of surprise gave way to joy as she let her lips do a different kind of talking, trying to pour back all the affection she had received.
They broke apart, looking uncertainly at each other for a moment. Ziva grinned broadly. "I guess I found a way to get you to stop rambling yes?"
Abby's insecure expression fizzled into laughter, pulling Ziva close and laying her head on her shoulder. "Yes, yes you did. Just don't go trying that when McGee starts one of his technobabble rants."
"And risk your ire?" Ziva teased. "Never."
They walked over to the center, joining the growing crowd of peaceful revelers as an impromptu carol session began, content to take comfort in each other and not worry about over-analyzing one of the purest and simplest emotions. Love.
Who sends this song upon the air, to ease the soul that's aching? To still the cry of deep despair and heal the heart that's breaking.
*But on the other hand you also have to view the colors in the same way Van Gogh did. His mental state determined his choices. He—

Increasing your workout's depth will bear on your thing to destroy more calories and buy off a greater vas comeback. It will also allow you to have a more than instance reorganized elbow grease.
If you are superficial to sparkle fat and go much toned, afterwards on the rise your travail magnitude is unfavourable. Many citizens have the thought that if you exercise at a high vividness you will no longest be on fire fat since you will be in your "cardio zone".

|5 - 7 nights
Pra Verde Cortina is a first floor apartment situated in a comfortable and quiet position: Majon. It is five minutes on foot from the centre of Cortina and just at a small distance from both the foot and cycle path and the skibus stop.
Furnished with elegant fittings, the apartment is made up of a living room with a dining area; a kitchen; a double room; a spacious room with bunk beds, a single bed, and the possibility to add a fourth bed; a bathroom with bathtub, and a bathroom with shower. From the balcony, which runs along three of the four sides of the house, it is possible to enjoy the view of the Tofane and Pomagagnon mountains.
Aparment was clean and well equipped. A small grocery store is just 5m from the house. The owners were really nice and helpful.
Everything was great, so I really recommend this apartment.
The apartment is spacious, with a large children's bedroom that can sleep 3 comfortably. Its location is ideal, a 7-minute walk from the center of Cortina: easy to get into town for shopping or ice cream without the hassle of finding parking, but outside enough to enjoy the views and the quiet. There are two convenience stores with a large selection of fruits and vegetables just at the top of the long driveway that leads out of the apartment complex - ideal for those days where we didn't have enough time to go into the center.
The apartment's balcony is expansive and covers 3 sides of the building, one side entirely proprietary to the apartment, with lovely views of Le Tofane.
Parking, an important detail when the tourist season peaks, is easy and protected in a wide garage at the bottom of a long driveway.
We were there with 2 children, ages 7 and 4. The apartment is a 5-minute walk to the ice rink (stadio di ghiaccio) which has a park within the walls of the ice rink with a wide array of equipment and even little electric cars (the latter are for rent).
The apartment is also very close to the agency office, which we appreciated the rare few times we had questions
Overall a lovely apartment in a beautiful town with a helpful and professional rental agency.
Good location, roomy apartment. What was missing is Wi-Fi connection, in current days this should be a standard especially for that price.
Avevamo già soggiornato in questa bella casa lo scorso inverno.
E' stato un piacere tornarvi anche d'estate e godere di bei panorami dalla comoda terrazza che circonda tutto l'appartamento.
Abbiamo trovato la casa pulita e in ordine. Dall'agenzia ci sono giunti interessanti suggerimenti su destinazioni ed eventi in loco oltre alla piacevole novità di poter utilizzare il wi-fi in casa con un piccolo contributo aggiuntivo.
Alfonso e Vanessa dell'agenzia Cortina Home sono stati davvero gentili e disponibili e rappresentano un riferimento certamente consigliabile.
It is a great, very clean apartmentin a silent enviroment with a well equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a beautiful view . We get help everytime, when we needed, so we were very satisfied with the apartment and the helpful of owners as well. I can offer it for everybody!
Location gradevole, ottima distanza dal centro. Ambiente accogliente molto ben fornito. Accesso ed uscita con l"auto un tantino difficoltosa con il ghiaccio ma per il resto davvero carina e spaziosa. Speriamo arrivi il wi - fi!! Professionalità e disponibilità in agenzia impeccabili.

Yes, ethnic group do owed toilets. To furthermost associates this seems a bit like grouping old computers. Unless they are crooked up to something, they aren't truly functional and furthermost aren't that pretty. Unless, yes, you in truth do formulate use of them. There are static those who keep hold of an after-school room on their place just for the memories and to net a element of communing near humour in the best underlying way. There are besides inhabitants who purchase antique toilets and environment and decorate a integral legroom in the region of the old timey form.
There are on-line auctions that concordat definitely in the bowls and the tanks. Some buyers close to the perception that many of these old models in actuality have a 3 united states liquid unit tank, which in some cases produces a skilful flush, though at the expense of mistreatment about twofold the water in use by a present-day toilet.
Most of primordial lavatory models did not have a form next to a lid. Rather the user sat straight on the rim. However, the rim was ready-made much in the stature of a space than in existing toilets. Collectors of toilets length from manufacturers, such as Crapper & Co. in England, to Museums to individuals interested in enclosure pots and practical application. An vastly fashionable "Grossology" repository showing has been road the country, sensational the value of fashionable inclination that sell of human spend foolishly.Post ads:

The Crapper Co. in Great Britain has a immense hotchpotch of "water closets" or "loos" that were ready-made archean in the 1900s. Many are clothed near designs exemplary of bone china bowl. Some have absorbing styling with a fish forming the inferior sector of the vessel near the upper element superficial similar to wet whirling fluff his chops.
Looking at these, it is manifest that although application of toilets has advanced, the nuts and bolts are stationary the same. The neo lav as we cognize it began its change for the better in 1596 when it was fabricated by John Harrington. Yet it was not used on a mountainous degree for at smallest possible 180 age. JF Brondel introduced the complex body part brand even privy in 1738. And it was not until the 1870s that the existent blush can was invented. Where profession has precocious is in how flushing is through.

And when I pay the 140$, do I pay anything monthly/ or do I have to pay for anything else? I'm ready to buy, like right now, I just need these one's covered. Thanks.

Apple will be holding an event on the 7th of September.
We know this know definitively because they've finally gotten around to sending one of their typically cryptic invites. And here's how it looks.
Of course there's pretty much no information there, though those out of focus balls of light are very pretty. Maybe it could suggest a focus on camera quality, although that's pretty much a sure bet in 2016.
As for what we'll definitely see- the new generation of the iPhone is a must, and perhaps it's that bit more likely to be called the iPhone 7 now, given the date of the annoucement. There's also a chance of a glimpse at the new Apple Watch, though that isn't likely to release until closer to the end of the year.
Whatever it is, you can be sure that it's all going to leak in the next week anyway.

Prevalence and correlates for school truancy among pupils in grades 7-10: results from the 2004 Zambia Global School-based Health Survey
There are limited data on the prevalence and associated factors of truancy in southern Africa. Yet truancy should attract the attention of public health professionals, educators and policy makers as it may be associated with adolescent problem behaviours. The objectives of the study were to estimate the prevalence and determine correlates of school truancy among pupils in Zambia.
We used data collected in 2004 in the Zambia Global School-based Health Survey. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with truancy. A total of 2257 pupils participated in the survey of whom 53.9% were male. Overall 58.8% of the participants (58.1% of males and 58.4% of females) reported being truant in the past 30 days. Factors associated with truancy were having been bullied (AOR = 1.34, 95% CI [1.32, 1.36]), current alcohol use (AOR = 2.19, 95% CI [2.16, 2.23]), perception that other students were kind and helpful (AOR = 1.12, 95% CI [1.10, 1.14]), being male and being from the lowest school grade. Pupils whose parents or guardians checked their homework (AOR = 0.91 95% CI, [0.89, 0.92]) and those who reported parental supervision (AOR = 0.94, 95% CI [0.92-0.95]) were less likely to report being truant.
We found a high prevalence of truancy among pupils in grades 7-10 in Zambia. Interventions aimed to reduce truancy should be designed and implemented with due consideration of the associated factors.
There is growing health-related literature of truancy and its predictors from the developed world, but not much has been reported from the developing world. The potential consequences of truancy as a social problem spans across reproductive and sexual health, mental health, pulmonary health, injury experience, adult underachievement and poverty
To explain why truancy may be associated with harmful behaviours, Henry and Huizinga
The role of formal education in promoting health and social well-being cannot be over-emphasized. And yet the attainment of education by pupils can be disturbed by truant behaviours. We therefore carried out this study to estimate the prevalence and associated factors of school truancy among pupils in grades 7-10 in Zambia. This information is potentially useful in designing programs that may reduce the problem of truancy in the country.
This study involved analysis of data from the Zambia Global School-based Health Survey (GSHS) that was conducted in 2004. Developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with UNICEF, UNESCO, and UNAIDS with technical assistance from the Centres for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, Georgia, United States, the GSHS aims to provide data on health and social behaviours among in-school adolescents. Further details of the GSHS have been reported elsewhere
In Zambia, pupils from grades 7-10 were recruited. Although 3021 pupils were eligible to participate in the survey, only 2257 eventually participated, giving a response rate of 75%. The survey used a two-stage probability sampling technique. In the first stage of sampling, the primary sampling units were schools. These were selected with a probability proportional to their enrolment size. In the second step, a systematic sample of classes in the selected school was obtained. All pupils in the selected classes were eligible to participate.
The data are de-identified and are in public domain with global authorization for re-use. Prior to commencement of the survey, permission to carry out the study was obtained from the Ministries of Health and Education. Informed consent to participate in the study was obtained from school managers and students. Students anonymously and voluntarily completed the questionnaire.
The completion of the questionnaire occurred within one class period. Pupils were encouraged to answer all questions but also told that they were free not to answer any question they felt uncomfortable with. A total of 12 trained research assistants supervised the process. Pupils were asked: During the past 30 days, on how many days did you miss classes or school without permission? The responses were 0 days, 1 or 2 days, 3-5 days, 6-9 days and 10 or more days. A binary variable was created where a response of 0 was recoded as having never missed school or class (0) while any number of days > 0 was recoded as 1. Regarding the predictor variables, pupils were asked the following questions: During the past 30 days, how often did you go hungry because there was not enough food in your home? During the past 30 days, how often were most of the students in your school kind and helpful? During the past 30 days, how often did you parents or guardians check to see if your homework was done? During the past 30 days, how often did your parents or guardians really know what you were doing with your free time? The responses to the above predictor variables were never, rarely, sometimes, most of the time, and always. These responses were categorized into a yes (combined rarely, sometimes, most of the time and always) or a no. The responses for the other two predictor variables: "During the past 30 days, on how many days did you have at least one drink containing alcohol?" and "During the past 30 days, on how many days were you bullied?" were 0 days, 1 or 2 days, 3-5 days, 6-9 days, 10-19 days, 20-29 days and all 30 days. The responses were categorized into a yes (having been bullied for at least 1 day in the past 30 days) or a no.
Data analysis
Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 14.0 software. The outcome variable was history of truancy. Due to the nature of the study design a weighting factor was used in the analysis to reflect the likelihood of sampling each pupil and to reduce bias by compensating for differing patterns of non response.
We obtained frequencies to describe the sample and estimate the prevalence of truancy. We conducted logistic regression in bivariate analyses and multivariate logistic regression analysis using the backward variable selection method to estimate associations between relevant predictor variables and truancy within the last 30 days. We report unadjusted odds ratios (OR) together with their 95% confidence intervals (CI) for selected predictor variables while considering having been truant in the last 30 days as a dependent variable. We also report adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and their CI from a multivariate analysis considering factors that were significantly associated with the outcome in bivariate analyses.
A total of 2257 pupils participated in the Zambian Global School-based Health Survey that was conducted in 2004. Of those whose data were available, 53.9% were male. Overall 58.8% of the participants (58.1% of males and 58.4% of females) reported being truant in the past 30 days, while 42.2% were current drinkers, and 62.8% reported having been bullied in the past 30 days.

In a multivariate analysis (Table
Participants who were bullied (AOR = 1.34, 95% CI [1.32, 1.36]), consumed alcohol (AOR = 2.19, 95% CI [2.16, 2.23]), perceived that other students were kind and helpful (AOR = 1.12, 95% CI [1.10, 1.14]), male and from the lowest school grade were more likely to report being truant. Pupils whose parents or guardians checked their homework (AOR = 0.91 95% CI, [0.89, 0.92]) and those who reported parental supervision (AOR = 0.94, 95% CI [0.92-0.95]) were less likely to report being truant.
We found the prevalence of truancy within the last 30 days to be 58.8% among pupils in grades 7-10 in Zambia. This rate was much higher than what we found in Swaziland of 21.6%
Like in other studies, we found that males were at increased likelihood of being truant than females. Siziya et al.
In our study, pupils who felt that their peers were kind and helpful were more likely to be truant. In a study of school-related risk and protective factors associate with truancy among urban youth placed at risk, Henry and Huizinga (2007) found that having delinquent peers was a strong predictor of truancy
We found that pupils who reported that their parents or guardians checked their homework or reported that they received parental supervision were less likely to be truant. In a randomized controlled trial, Stanton et al.
We also found that study participants who reported being victims of bullying were more likely to have been truant. It is possible that adolescents who are bullied may miss school in order to escape further victimization. While truancy is a problem behaviour on its own, it is important that parents and school authorities explore the reasons why a pupil may be missing school without permission. A bully-free school may reduce the prevalence of truancy
Alcohol consumption was significantly associated with truancy in the current study. This finding was similar to that previously reported from Swaziland
Our study had a few limitations. Firstly the study was based on data based on self reports. Pupils may have misreported either due to failure to recall or misreported intentionally. Completion of the study questionnaire was done anonymously so as to maintain confidentiality and reduce possibility of intentional misreporting. Also data were collected from pupils who were available in school on the day of the survey. Pupils who were absent being both truant and otherwise were not included, and thus we may have underestimated the prevalence of truancy. Although the responses to the predictor variables were obtained as categories, we further dichotomized them, and this may have reduced the statistical power in the analysis.
Our study found the prevalence of school truancy within the past 30 days among pupils in grades 7-10 in Zambia to be 58.8%. Factors such as current alcohol drinking and being bullied, which have been reported elsewhere as predictors of truancy, were also identified in our study. Designing of intervention programs aimed to reduce truancy in Zambia should consider these factors.

Brathay Lodge, Ambleside, is a traditional English Lake District B & B which was originally built as two semi detached properties around 1890 probably to satisfy the demand for guest, B&B, hotel and Pet Friendly accommodation by the Lake District tourist industry which was then in its infancy.
The property has been totally refurbished in a contemporary style B & B which is fairly unique to the area. The brief to the interior design team was to create an informal atmosphere conducive to unwinding with high class guest accommodation to a high quality hotel / B & B standard.
We, like most guests, believe that this is what has been created - a very different bed and breakfast, an extremely pleasant warm and friendly place where you can enjoy banter with the family and staff or have peace and quiet - whatever you require.
Situated towards central Ambleside, Lake District, Brathay Lodge is within a few minutes walk of over 30 eateries offering a wide range of cuisine. There are also numerous gourmet restaurants and inns within a short drive of Ambleside - something for all tastes and all budgets. For that reason we have decided to specialise in deluxe high class guest accommodation on a B & B basis only.
Most of our guests visiting Ambleside on a short break or as part of an even longer Lake District vacation tend to leave their cars on our large private off-road car park for the duration of their stay, preferring to take advantage of our proximity and enjoy the many local walks during the day and the restaurants and bars of the evening.
Walkers / mountain bikers / golfers etc, both casual and serious, like Brathay Lodge's informality and enjoy the facilities on offer and if it's wet or muddy, there is always a place to dry out those wet clothes and footwear overnight.

Bennett calls on women who were sexually harassed to file official complaints
Amona residents ascend Temple Mount to prayThis morning, Amona residents ascended the Temple Mount in order to pray for a solution as voting for the Regulation Law was postponed until the beginning of next week following differences in opinion regarding the issue. The Students for the Temple Mount movement initiated the ascent.
This morning (Thursday), dozens of Amona residents ascended the Temple Mount in order to pray for their settlement's rescue. Supporters accompanied the residents, such as Students for the Temple Mount members who initiated the Temple Mount ascent.
Yesterday, the Israeli Security Cabinet decided to postpone voting until Monday for the Regulation Law that seeks to retroactively legalize construction on private Palestinian property. Voting was supposed to be conducted yesterday, however, it seems that the postponement resulted from several Israeli government members opposing the law and the attempt to formulate an alternative solution for the settlement residents.

Get FREE Dentures
Many people think that dentures are outrageously expensive.
Of course that can be true depending on the dentist and the quality of the dentures.
However, there are other avenues you might not have thought of!
Low income individuals that are unable to foot the cost of dentures, or the expense of tooth extraction, shouldn't give up on the dream of acquiring dentures.
I've written many articles on the subject of free dental care and more often than not I've found that the old saying of "where there's a will, there's a way", is for the most part, often true. One of the most popular inquiries is dentures.
A great starting place is your local dental school. Many dental schools offer different forms of assistance and can really help.
Medicaid and Medicare cover some basic dental costs, but often no coverage for no cost dentures. Florida and North Carolina Medicaid offer limited funding but only to children under the age of 21, and routinely cover full or partial standard dentures.
You might also try your local health board, look into grants, your local church...

Mumbai: The National Cricket Academy (NCA) on Friday dropped former Test cricketer Gursharan Singh from a panel of trainers to coach the North Zone Cricket Academy (NZCA), established at the Feroze Shah Kotla ground in New Delhi.
NCA chairman Raj Singh Dungarpur told reporters that the NCA committee unanimously decided that there was no need to appoint a fifth coach as done by the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) without any authority.
Dungarpur said the committee comprising former cricketers like S Venkatraghavan, Polly Umrigar, Brijesh Patel and Sunil Gavaskar felt really hurt that a fine former cricketer was being kept from contributing his best to the game and punished for no fault on his part.
However, he said the issue of discipline couldn't be ignored as it was done in the case of Harbhajan Singh and Murali Kartik who were sacked from the academy. The committee squarely blamed DDCA and BCCI vice-president C K Khanna for appointing Gursharan as the coach along with the official coaches Chetan Sharma, Surinder Khanna, Yashpal Sharma and Rajinder Amarnath.
Dungarpur said a strong protest along with the directive in this regard would be sent to DDCA.
Earlier on May 2 in New Delhi, the controversy about the appointment of coaches was blown over as Gursharan also joined the panel of trainers, led by Yashpal Sharma as the chief coach.
Khanna had said, ''there is no problem with the appointment of Gursharan as the fifth coach with the consent of Dungarpur.''
It proved another stroke of bad luck for Gursharan, once touted as country's middle order hope, who played Test cricket for India at a very young age that too against world champions Clive Lloyd's West Indies.

The Wind in the Willows Close Up by wetcanvasWatch
©2013-2017 wetcanvas
Detail view of Rat and Mole. They're a little hard to see and since that hair took FOREVER I don't feel guilty about publishing twice.
!!!!!!!!!! Creative!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my God, this is just wonderful !! o-o
I never read the books but when i was a kid i was a fan of the stop motion animated series ("El viento en los sauces" in spanish) so i consider this to be in between
That is brilliant! Wow your work is amazing! <3
Adorable!! Love that book. ^^
Rat and Mole! Oh how I loved and love Wind in the Willows!
Thank you! I haven't read it in years but this sculpture got my son interested in it. It our new bedtime story so I've been rediscovering it!
How neat! Have you gotten to Mr. Toad and his motor car?
No, I haven't. This one was a commission so she new exactly what she wanted. I may have to give that a go though. This one was really fun to make and I'd like to do the characters again!
I love The Wind in the Willows. That book is very special to me. It is one of the dear books of my childhood that makes me think of being read to as a child by my parents.
Wowsers. Total love and adoration. My favorite book of almost all time and you did it proud.
this is very astounding! I can hardly imagine how the tree texture is accomplished, maybe a special kind a tool?. This is very nice!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it! No special tool, the bark and the leaves are strips of paper. The strips for the leaves are curled and the bark is just woven together.
This is a wonderful piece of work and is so evocative of the original book. You seem to have captured the two of them so well. I recently re read the book after an absece of many years and it was still able to make me smile.
I'm so glad you think so! I'm rereading it myself. The sculpture got my son interested in the story so we've been reading it together. I caught him acting out the stories with his Batman figures the other day!
That is so cool! What's the book about? Well I guess I could easily look it up, but meh. XD It sounds kinda good though. Is it like one of those old classics or something?
Thank you! It is. It's the story of a bunch of little animals, most notable Frog, Mole, and Toad, and their adventures. I believe it was originally written for children but it's come to be more of an adult's story. Here's the wikilink: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wind…
Lovely work! This is one of my favorite childhood books!
You know, I'm not sure that I remember reading this as a child. Besides what we had to read in school, anyway. While I was working on this my son kept sneaking into the room to watch. He normally doesn't care about what I'm making but this time he really was. We ended up reading the stories to him instead of his normal bedtime stories and I have to say, I think I missed out. They're some really great stories - if just a little hard to read! Anyway, I'm glad you liked it!
You always do such beautiful things like these. How do you make these?
Thank you! It really all comes down to basic shapes, just like drawing. Break something down into shapes and then build it back up.
This is.... really amazing

HIT Entertainment, pre-school children's entertainment producers and rights owners, has launched the company's licensing business in India with the internationally renowned property, Bob the Builder, in collaboration with Licensing Plus (India) Pvt Ltd (LPI). Amongst the top shows on the kids' channels in India, Cartoon Network, Bob the Builder will now also be available to Indian licensees and retailers across product categories such as plush toys, educational games, figurines, apparels, board games & puzzles, tableware, home furnishings and back to school products, among others. Bob the Builder has been sold to more than 200 countries and has over 2000 products in key territories worldwide.
Monica Tata, Vice President - All India, Advertising Sales, Turner International India Pvt. Ltd., avers, "Since its premiere on Cartoon Network in January 2003, Bob the Builder has become one of the top rated shows among Indian viewers. As a responsible broadcaster, positive shows such as Bob The Builder form an integral part of Cartoon Network and POGO's programming line-up. An excellent role model for kids, Bob the Builder - synonymous with the popular and action oriented catch phrase "Can we fix it? Yes, we can! - attracts co-viewing by young kids and their mothers. We are delighted that through Cartoon Network's sustained and concerted promotions efforts, Bob has today become one of the most popular shows among school children."
Bob the Builder is a perennial, pre-school (2-5 years) brand that delivers a family of characters who overcome everyday problems through an infectiously positive attitude, motivation and teamwork.
Sheetal Merchant, Brand Director – India, HIT Entertainment Plc says, "Our first step was to establish Bob the Builder as a successful television show, an objective that has been achieved in a very short time thanks to Cartoon Network. We are delighted that with the launch of this licensing programme, we can now bring Bob to life in the Indian kids' world with a range of products and merchandise. HIT is very happy to have LPI as their licensing partner and is looking forward to leverage their in-depth knowledge of the segment and their extensive network to popularize Bob as a viable and preferred licensing property."
"Licensing Plus (India) is one of the pioneers of the Brand Licensing concept in India. Product and promotional licensing is a very powerful marketing tool in today's cluttered world, which harnesses the pre-existing popularity of the licensed 'property' to enhance the visibility of a product. Bob the Builder is very popular and one of the most watched shows by children. We look forward to distributing Bob's copyrights among the Indian marketing fraternity and we are confident of a very positive response," adds Gurpartap Singh, Director, Licensing Plus (India) Pvt. Ltd.

Half Life Fan Fiction
Misery Loves Company
By Kraven Ergeist
Though Alyx Vance was regarded as a tough girl by most people who knew her, she was hardly invulnerable. She had her moments of weakness, just like everybody else. She hid them well, but they were there for those who were close enough to witness them. Her mother had known about this all too well before she passed away. And her dad…
The showerhead had long since run out of hot water to bury herself in, but she remained under its cold, rough cascade all the same. She hardly felt it. The noise drowned out the world around her, and the temperature was causing her to hyperventilate without realizing it.
She didn't care.
It was hours after she had first stepped into the shower that knocks and concerned calls sounded from behind the bathroom door. They went unheard, as the heir to the leadership of the resistance lost herself to the cold forgiving waterfall. She didn't want to venture back out into that world of hurtful truth. Here, her solitude was a comfort, a familiar, un-alarming state of existence where one person pampered them self, confined from all view. Here, being alone was normal.
Out there, her solitude was a curse. She had no mother, and now no father. She was the last of her family, the sole survivor of the name of Vance, and doomed to lead the resistance on her own.
She was on her knees as tears blended with freezing cold spring water that came straight from an underground well where White Forest received its water supply. She balanced her weight on the top of her skull against the sterile, institutional beige tile walls of the shower stall. In her mind, all she could see was the Advisor ripping into her father's spinal column and…
The door finally opened. She expected a nurse or one of the female members of the resistance – there were depressingly few in number, but she knew every one of them, and any would have come in to try in vein to offer sympathy.
Instead, she saw Gordon.
Gods, he was the last person she wanted to see right now! Not now, not like this! Why was he here!? Couldn't he tell she wanted – needed to be alone!? Her face lit up in shame as she tried to raise her voice to scream at him, but all that came out was a traumatized sob.
Gordon's eyes were averted as he mechanically shut off the shower knob, ceasing Alyx's senseless waste of White Forest's water supply. In his other hand was a towel, which he deposited almost casually over her shoulders, covering most of her body. Only then did he turn his eyes upon her.
Alyx was a being of vibrance. Even when she was deflated of energy, she still seemed so full of life, like any hardship needed only some quantity of time to get over. He suspected, however, that this was a diligently contrived mask that she wore to protect herself from the harsh world that the Combine had put them in. She had been brought into this world of mayhem and war, and had been at its mercy since childhood. So it stood to reason that she maintain a tough visage for all to see.
Which is why she so desperately did not want anyone to see her like this, least of all Gordon, the person whose faith she needed the most. She couldn't stand the thought of him seeing her at her weakest moment, and having the image of herself she had worked so hard to instill in him shatter like so much glass.
But still, the tears wouldn't stop – the thought of Gordon seeing her cry only made her remember why she was crying in the first place, which caused her to once again relive it for a brief moment, which only made her cry even harder. She hardly had the energy to lift her head, let alone stand up. Her body was made of jelly, and her eyes were swollen red.
"Gordon…" she managed, huffing each syllable out with a sob as her throat constricted around each gasp of air. She suddenly realized she was shivering, and that Gordon's hands had not left her back, drying her with the towel that he embraced her with. She felt weak and exposed, but he spoke not a word, and made not a sound as he diligently dried her off, his hands lingering perhaps longer than was necessary, but they gave her warmth.
Her face finally lifted and she managed to look into his eyes. His hands slowed their work as his piercing gaze bore into her like a siren, his calm, stern face a bastion of stability and fortitude.
He was her strength. He was her weakness.
"Oh Gordon…" and all of the sudden, the tears flowed freely. She collapsed against him, her partially damp arms draped over his shoulders, dampening the plain white button down that made him look like the professor he was that he wore as the HEV suit was cleaned and recharged. Her tears bled into the collar of his shirt, as his arms pressed into her back, offering himself to the storm of her misery. She let out a sob as her whole body shook against him, soaking up every bit of warmth he offered.
She would never have made it this far without him, and she knew it. She, her father and the resistance owed him everything, and she felt like a coward and a fool by sitting here, closed off from the world and weeping about her woes. But Gordon offered only patience, and abided her selfish whims to feel sorry for herself and mourn her lost father. She knew every moment she wasted here only increased the unlikelihood that there would be anything waiting for them at the Borealis.
Still, she allowed herself to savor this moment, soaking in as much of Gordon as she could. She wanted to hold onto him forever, to burn his essence into her memory. He was all she had left.
He brought his hand up to her face, brushing aside a tear with his thumb as he smiled down at her, not inquiring or demanding anything from her, but simply being her silent companion. No one had offered her so much and asked for so little. She felt greedy and ashamed to have made him break decorum by walking in on her like this, but she was grateful nonetheless.
It softened the blow of reality, the knowledge that Gordon was still with her, and he would never abandon her. It made facing the knowledge of her father's loss and the fact that she still had a job to do that much more bearable. She still felt the grief…but maybe…
She leaned into Gordon's caress and kissed the palm of his hand out of gratitude, her eyes still full of tears.
His response was only silence. Familiar, comforting silence.
Maybe, with him by her side, she stood a chance.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- To a man, players on the San Jose Sharks heading into Game 4 felt they had outplayed the Los Angeles Kings despite being down in the series.
That's fine and dandy, Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle said the other day, but unless it shows up on the scoreboard, it means nothing.
Now it has. Now it does.
Brent Burns and Logan Couture scored the goals, Joe Thornton was a one-man wrecking crew, and the Sharks served notice Tuesday night with a second straight win in a 2-1 decision: If the defending Stanley Cup champions are going to have a shot at repeating, they're going to have to raise their game to another level.
Because, right now, the Kings are fortunate it's only a 2-2 series and not worse.
They were outshot 15-3 in the opening period Tuesday night, thanks to Jonathan Quick only being outscored 1-0, but the reigning Cup champions looked completely overmatched early on in what helped set the tempo for a Sharks win.
"That first period was as good as we've played possibly all year," Boyle said.
On the flip side, the Kings have rarely looked so disorganized.
"You've got [to] prepare, get ready for the drop of the puck," Kings center Mike Richards said. "It was 1-0 before we even knew what was going on out there."
Burns opened the scoring 6:09 into the game, taking a beautiful feed from Thornton as their line, with T.J. Galiardi, skated circles around the Kings' zone.
"I thought they were very good early, established a relentless forecheck and used their size to their advantage," Sharks head coach Todd McLellan said of the Thornton line. "Obviously, they got us the first goal. And the momentum they created ran throughout the rest of the lines, and everyone jumped on board."
Wave after wave of Sharks pinned the Kings into their zone before an energized and raucous sellout crowd of 17,562 at HP Pavilion.
Thornton was an absolute beast, flicking off Kings defenders like they were flies.
"It's the best I've seen him play," his linemate, Galiardi, said. "I don't know what he had for pregame meal today, but I hope he has it again in a couple of days. He was flying. And it's so contagious; when Jumbo's going, everybody is going. It's pretty to watch."
The Sharks kept the Kings hemmed into their zone nearly the entire first period.
"The Kings are spending way more time defending in their own zone than they were a year ago," a veteran NHL scout said between periods.
Some of that is because the Kings' back end hasn't been set the entire season -- with no Willie Mitchell available, Alec Martinez (scratched on this night) struggling to find the form he had last season and Matt Greene having been out most of the season until finally being re-inserted into the lineup Tuesday night.
Whatever the case, the Kings' blue line, especially the third pairing, just hasn't had the symmetry and balance it had a season ago.
But credit the Sharks here, as well. They are right on top of the Kings with a speedy forecheck that has bottled up Los Angeles.
It's incredible how much faster this Sharks team plays compared to a season ago when it went out meekly to the St. Louis Blues in the first round.
"We were more passive last year," Thornton said. "This year, we're aggressive. We just play well when we're aggressive, and that's probably been the key."
While the Kings took a while to find their game on this night, it doesn't help when you're not getting the calls, either. A quick whistle in the second period robbed the Kings of a goal when it was obvious Antti Niemi did not have it. That should have been a goal for Los Angeles, and it would have cut the lead to 2-1. That would have been a big moment for the Kings.
"It was a quick whistle," Kings captain Dustin Brown said. "That stuff tends to even itself out over the course of a year. Sometimes, you get a quick whistle your way. Sometimes, you don't."
It was a tough call, and these are the type of things that didn't seem to happen to this Kings team last season. Whether they're calls from refs or plain breaks, everything seemed to go their way, in large part because they manufactured a lot of that good fortune with their play.
They rolled out to four consecutive 3-0 leads and barely faced any adversity en route to a well-deserved championship.
If they win the Cup again this season, it will be with a much different script.
The Kings head home now, where they've won 12 straight and are a perfect 5-0 in these playoffs. That's a good place to turn this around.
"We're comfortable at home, so I think that's going to be a good thing, and we obviously have confidence there, too," Richards said. "It's just a matter of playing our game. When we do that, we have success."
The Kings began to recapture their game in the third period Tuesday night, finding the back of the net on Richards' power-play goal at 9:46 and outshooting the Sharks 14-2.
"They're the Stanley Cup champions for a reason," Thornton said. "They're going to hang around. In the third period, they played really, really well."
But in the same fashion, the Kings chalked up being outshot 16-4 in the third period in Game 1 to the Sharks desperately trying to get back in the game, there was a similar feeling Tuesday night to the Kings' third-period dominance.
"We have to [do] that from the start," Brown said. "That's the difference in the game. They dominated the play, especially in the first 30 minutes."
A dandy of a series is now a best of three, with the underdogs believing more than ever they have a chance at dethroning the champs.
"We're in a good place right now, and it's only going to get harder," Boyle said.
A few nights ago in L.A., after the Sharks suffered what seemed like a crushing, Game 2 loss, McLellan confidently told reporters that his team would bounce back. He felt these Sharks were different than in seasons past.
He was right.
"The character in our locker room you could feel it when we left L.A. on the plane after Game 2," the Sharks coach said. "We were ready to get back to work.
"We're going to swing the bat when we're up there."

The Sacramento Bee, 11/12/2008
By Cathy Locke
El Dorado Irrigation District customers could end up paying more for less in a drought. District officials are considering a rate schedule that would go into effect if a drought were declared. Typically when a water agency goes into drought mode, "your costs go up while your revenue goes down," Doug Dove of Bartle Wells Associates, the district's financial adviser, told board members Monday. http://www.sacbee.com/197/story/1390202.html

Comments about DelMonico New Mexico Panama Hat:
I own several panama hats in the fedora style with smaller brims so I was looking for something with a wide brim for outdoor activities and boating. When I received this hat I was impressed with both the fit and looks. It has a nice comfortable sweatband and the sunblock material in the crown and underbrim is perfect to protect against the Florida sun. The hatband adds just enough style to look great anywhere and the price was just right for the excellent quality. I also liked the fact that it's finished in the USA.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
