Author Tags: Politics
Co-founder of a non-violent, centrist, democratic political party in his native Sri Lanka called the Podujana Party (meaning Peoples' Party), R.B. Herath, with a Ph.D. in organizational behavior, is the author of Real Power to the People: A Novel Approach to Electoral Reform in British Columbia (University Press of America, 2007) and other books, including A New Beginning for Humankind: A Recipe for Lasting Peace on Earth (iUniverse 2012) in which he examines major violent conflicts in the world and offers a path to avoid the errors of the past.
Sri Lanka Desapalanaya, Ayanna, Aayanna, Eyanna, Eeyanna (Lankanatha, 1979) and Desappremayen Odavadiwa Darudariyanta Kavivalinma Liyu Lipiyak (Lankanatha, 1979) are the titles of Herath's books in Sinhalese. The English translation of the former reads as "A, B, C, D of Sri Lankan Politics". It analyses the politics of Sri Lanka up to the time of its separatist war. The English translation of the latter reads as "A Letter to Our Children in Poems Written through Patriotism". It conveys a message of love, peace, and unity to the children of Sri Lanka in a child's diction. The government of Sri Lanka at the time distributed it among the schools and municipal libraries of the country. This 1979 book of poetry conveys a message of love, mutual respect and unity to the children of Sri Lanka in a child's diction.
Publicity materials state:
R.B. Herath is a professional engineer, author, poet and a dramatist, who holds a Ph.D. in organizational behaviour. As an adult, he has always fought for the democratic rights of the people. He did this first as a student leader in his high school and university days, and later as an active participant in the national politics of his country of origin, Sri Lanka; once he co-founded and led a political party in that country by the name Podujana Party (meaning Peoples' Party). It was a non-violent, centrist party that stood for democracy and consensus among all ethnic groups in Sri Lanka under a theme of 'One Lanka–One Nation, One Nation–One Family.' After the ongoing ethnic crisis of Sri Lanka turned to a separatist war, taking control of its democratic political process, he left the country in 1984. He is well traveled, and has lived in many countries in Asia, Europe, Africa and North America. He has an excellent knowledge of the international scene. Presently, he lives in Canada. In 1989, while he was in Zambia he wrote and directed a stage drama, Angulimala, depicting a story from Buddhist literature. Later he wrote and directed three other stage dramas based on some historical political events of Sri Lanka: Hoisting the British Flag, Keppetipola Heroism, and Independence Struggle. These dramas were presented at the 50th Sri Lankan Independence anniversary celebrations held at Michael J. Fox Theatre in Burnaby, British Columbia, on March 7, 1998.
One of the earlier books published in English, Sri Lankan Ethnic Crisis: Towards a Resolution (Trafford, 2002), discusses the ongoing ethnic crisis in Sri Lanka and proposes a co-coordinated political solution to the crisis with a realistic plan of action for its implementation. The Honourable Bill Graham, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Canada, reviewed the book and forwarded it to others concerned, including the Canadian High Commissioner in Sri Lanka.
In Canada, Herath first served as a member of the Board of Directors of the South Asian Network for Secularism and Democracy for a number of years, before serving as a member of the historic Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform in British Columbia. He is married and has three grown daughters.
According to publicity materials: "REAL POWER TO THE PEOPLE: A NOVEL APPROACH TO ELECTORAL REFORM IN BRITISH COLUMBIA describes a unique experiment in democracy that took place during 2004–2005. In this experiment, the government of British Columbia gave its citizens the power to take control of its electoral reform process and make a final decision. This new approach to electoral reform was implemented through a citizens' assembly of 160 randomly selected, nonpartisan British Columbians and a referendum. The citizens' assembly first studied the different electoral options, listened to the views of their fellow citizens, and recommended a new electoral system for British Columbia. Later, all British Columbians took part in making a final decision on the recommended new system through the referendum. Dr. Herath was directly involved in the process as one of the assembly members. This unique new approach has gathered attention from political pundits all over the world. There are indications that other jurisdictions will adopt it. The Netherlands and Ontario have already begun to do so while there is a growing movement in California to follow suit. The work first introduces the reader to electoral reform in general, the historic context of the new approach, and its implementation. This is followed by an explanation of the six most critical features of the new approach. The work ends with Dr. Herath's conclusions that include five important lessons to be drawn from this first time application of the new approach and its worldwide applicability."
"The BC Citizens' Assembly has provided a template for a new, revolutionary approach to the practice of democracy throughout the world," says Herath.

Background. The Needs of San Diego s Jewish Community
- Lilian Shelton
- 1 years ago
- Views:
1 Needs in the San Diego Jewish Community Findings from Research Conversations with Professional Leadership The Jewish Community Foundation and the Jewish Women s Foundation Background In February 2013, the Center for Leadership Initiatives (CLI) conducted focus groups and interviews with professional leadership from the Jewish community in San Diego. As part of a listening effort that takes place every few years, the goal of these conversations was to offer the Jewish Community Foundation (JCF) and the Jewish Women s Foundation (JWF) the opportunity to hear the voices of community professionals as they described the needs they are encountering among their target constituencies and others. Initially designed to focus on the needs of Jewish women and girls in the San Diego area, past experience indicated that these meetings were also a unique opportunity to gather perspectives about needs encountered in the broader Jewish population as well. Two focus groups were conducted over the course of a single day. The first included six communal professionals and the second included five congregational rabbis. Three additional telephone interviews with professional leadership who could not attend the focus groups were conducted several days later. The lists of participants and the protocols from these groups appears in the appendices to this document. The following report summarizes needs and recommendations identified of both the broader Jewish community in San Diego and of women and girls specifically. The Needs of San Diego s Jewish Community The following findings reflect general themes about San Diego s Jewish community that arose during the focus groups and interviews. While perspectives were never unanimous, the following reflects key themes that arose in the discussions. 1. Employment While the challenges created by the economic crisis seem to have plateaued somewhat in the past year or two, its impacts continue to be profoundly experienced by a variety of populations within the Jewish community of San Diego. In fact, Torah High reports that approximately 25-30% of its families have no wage earner. Almost all informants discussed the challenges of helping those seeking employment. These included individuals who are chronically unemployed 1 (longer than one year) and unemployed single parents. The most significant need that emerged from these conversations was for enhanced employment services that offer personalized and long-term support services (rather than one-off group trainings or workshops). Informants emphasized targeting such services to the needs of 1 Approximately one-third of the unemployed seeking assistance from JFS have been out of work for over a year. See for details on the challenges of chronic unemployment. 1
2 different groups men, women, early-stage career seekers, the later-stage unemployed, single parent families as each necessitated unique approaches. Individuals undergoing significant career transitions - who are on the brink of or in the midst of re-training programs were noted of particular need of support. 2. Support Services Economic challenges naturally produce challenges in domestic environments, and unemployment itself creates a range of psychological, social and economic challenges and resulting needs for many in the community. JFS reports a 42% rise in domestic violence calls in the past year alone (this number does not indicate a causative rise in abuse rates, but is nonetheless an important number to take into consideration), with 500 unduplicated calls around domestic violence during the past year. JFS has additionally noted an increase in the number of calls its Counseling Department has received related to divorce and separation. 90% of those referred for counselling to JFS live on an annual family income of less than $42,000. The organization is seeing these numbers steadily increase. Given this landscape, key needs for support services identified by focus group participants include the following: Men are in dire need of psychological and peer support as they navigate economic challenges. Congregational rabbis report that they often hear from families that the men, often struggling with the confidence and self-worth issues related to unemployment, have nowhere to turn, with their struggles deleteriously affecting the whole family system. There is little training in the Orthodox community regarding how to deal with the psychological needs of community members (substance use, gambling, domestic violence, etc.). Many rabbis are not sensitized to these needs and do not have lists of counsellors and agencies to whom they can refer community members. While JFS was praised repeatedly by informants for this research, there remains a need to publicize JFS service offerings to and through relevant Jewish institutions. It is important to note that only 3.3% of clients to JFS were referred to the organization by other Jewish community institutions last year. Many community members, particularly those who live on the fringe (those who are older, economically challenged or contending with mental health issues), do not know of JFS services. 3. Scholarships From formal to informal education programs, synagogue dues and any other programs that call for tuition or membership payments, professionals are reporting an increased number of requests for scholarships. For some, these scholarship funds make the difference between participation in Jewish community activities or not. Scholarships mentioned included not only day school and other full time programs but also scholarships for Israel trips, summer camp and JCC programs. 2
3 The financial choices that Jews in San Diego are making, given the current economic climate, likely will result in the reduction of touch points for local Jews with community institutions and programs (informants report that affiliation numbers are already quite low, currently around 15%). A deeper issue that arose in the focus groups is that the scholarships that do exist target those individuals already connected to the Jewish community. There is a real need to think about scholarships, those who are already able to access them, and how to increase the reach of these scholarships to individuals on the fringes of the community. 4. Loneliness Issues of isolation and loneliness seem to be endemic to many populations supported by the professionals who informed this research. At various points, informants targeted every demographic, gender and life stage: Unemployed men are incredibly lonely. Single women are incredibly lonely. Older folks are terribly lonely. This went on and on. This problem that ails American society overall is exacerbated by the lack of central gathering venues - particularly for those of the margins of Jewish community in San Diego. The basic desire to have more opportunities to meet like-minded peers at similar stages of life was palpable in these conversations. This would be an intervention that would not only address the loneliness factor, but would add acuity to understanding specific needs within the community and for developing peer-to-peer and community-based models for addressing them. We would be remiss in reporting the perspectives of the informants to this research without giving due voice to rabbis concern about the status of men in the Jewish community. As one rabbi commented, We won t be able to fix anything until we fix our men. Informants reported that most men do not have the tools or the societal backing to create support systems for themselves. This isolation, particularly experienced by those being challenged by the economy through loss of employment or loss of revenue in general, was contributing to depression, the deterioration of relationships, and the family system as a whole. They suggested innovative approaches to building networks of men softball leagues, etc. to both get the men out of the house and to place them in peer-based environments where their loneliness is reduced and they experience their challenges with like-minded peers. 5. Aging Baby Boomers Aging baby boomers were particularly noted as an emerging population in need of strategic thought. Two questions particularly dominated the focus groups. First, how is the San Diego Jewish community going to address the needs of baby boomers wanting to age independently (and/or not being able to afford assisted living)? Second, and much aligned with this first question, was the need to think about independent living and transportation. For those individuals wanting to stay at home in their older years, what will San Diego s Jewish community do to deal with the limited transportation services available to this population? 3
4 The Needs of San Diego s Jewish Women and Girls While all of the issue areas outlined above impact women, the following themes arose repeatedly in conversations specifically about the needs of women and girl. 1. Employment Women and girls were often deemed most vulnerable to the employment challenges outlined above and along with broader population, would benefit from personalized and long-term support services. Single mothers and women facing issues of (re) entry into the job market were particularly called out as in need of support. One service provider (not in the business of providing support services around employment) reported receiving five to eight calls per month, primarily from women needing assistance around employment, including re-training, resume writing, and more. In addition to the employment support services identified above, needs specific to women included: - Short-term child care, particularly for women going through re-training/education programs in making career shifts. - Mentorship with women in professional positions of power for young women. - Job training programs for women recently out of university. 2. Support Services In the words of Jewish Family Services (JFS), Women define our agency. Over 70% of the requests for JFS services come from women, particularly around food assistance. Thus it appears that the quality of women s life experiences often defines the family experience, with women making many of the family s decisions. Thus the brunt of challenges faced in these decisions, particularly because of economic or domestic issues, falls on women s shoulders, and they are turning for support to JFS and others in disproportionately large numbers. Needs specific to women and girls around the need for support services included: - Life skills acquisition: widowed women are often forced to contend with quickly acquiring life skills (managing finances, etc.) and there is little support to help them grapple with these new situations. - Exiting unworkable marriages: despite the crisis-focused benefits offered by JFS Project Sarah and others, there remains a need for longer-term psychological counseling and support for women going through separations and divorces. - Managing the juggle: the juggle of the key roles many women face in the home as care givers, as parents, as single parents in particular and as those responsible for putting food on the table necessitates a greater offering of support services. - Caring across the generations: it is particularly important to note the unique challenge that many women face as they become part of the Sandwich Generation in which they have to care for ageing parents (either in their home or elsewhere) and their children. This stage of life offers a unique set of issues, and there are few programs in Jewish San Diego to support women navigating them. 4
5 - Sexuality awareness in safe spaces: girls continue to face unique challenges, particularly in their teen years. Issues around body image, independence and power continue to make the argument for programs for girls, beginning in fifth and sixth grades, in areas around sexuality and awareness. 3. Scholarships While the scholarship issues identified above affect both men and women, informants reported that the choices regarding a child s Jewish engagement often fall to women. As women often make the decisions around how their children spend their time, they are either choosing not to participate in costly Jewish activities or are falling victim to a reduction in scholarship allocations. This is about addressing a population not in crisis, but also not living in a state where all options are available to them. Ultimately, these decisions often make the difference between their children being engaged in Jewish community activities or not. 4. Leadership of Women in the Jewish Community The communal professionals focus group particularly noted a dearth of leadership and career advancing opportunities for Jewish young women in the community. This, they said, was further exacerbated by both an old boys network in the Jewish community and a limited vision for young women of career models to which to aspire throughout their lives. Add today s economic climate into this landscape, where young women are not seeing the types of career opportunities that may have been available to them years ago, and you have a population of young women in need of models of success. Several needs were identified around this weak leadership pipeline: - Limited systemization of opportunities across both established and emerging Jewish organizations to cultivate and support young women s leadership (e.g. Boards of Directors, committees, etc.). - Limited mentorship opportunities in a Jewish context with Jewish role models of successful career women. - Scarcity of women-focused networks of women helping women. 2 Multiple networks could be developed to target different types of women and different life stages from job seeking to networking, women seeking business collaborations to financing women in professional arenas to life skills support (such as financial planning). 2 There are many models off of which to build, including Athena 5
6 Recommendations The following recommendations are based on key themes that arose during the research. They do not represent unanimous views. General Recommendations for San Diego s Jewish Community Scholarship funding is not coordinated in the San Diego area and perhaps should not be. However, the increased demand for scholarships in all aspects of Jewish life does beckon a targeted conversation among key stakeholders as to how to align program financial support, maximize efficiency, and reach individuals who may not even be inquiring about scholarships because of lack of interest or ignorance of the opportunities. The Los Angeles JFS has an orthodox division that targets its services to Los Angeles orthodox community. It may be worthwhile for San Diego s JFS to explore this service offering, particularly around the counseling needs of the orthodox community. In a community that - because of geographic distance and lack of communal spaces - feels a profound loneliness, there is a need to think about targeted network building and community gatherings. Identifying specific populations that likely have been outside of the reach of the traditional Jewish community to bring together for shared socializing, mentoring, and support would both be extremely valued and also would likely reduce the binary effect of in or out produced by institutions that necessitate dues paying membership. Further information is needed to understand the needs of men in this community. The JCF may consider convening a discussion around the mapping of support services and peer networks for men and potential steps to support men in this economic environment. It would be beneficial to engage in proactive research to plan intentionally around baby boomers needs over the coming ten years, exploring programs and structures to support their healthy and productive aging. Recommendations Targeting San Diego Jewish Community s Women and Girls Further discussion and research is necessary to determine which types of employment services should be developed for women, including single parents, young adults in their 20 s, women re-entering the work force and others. This should include the question of one-on-one support services and linkages to non-jewish agencies. While highly praised, the services offered by JFS are not sufficiently publicized to Jewish agency directors and to the general population. While this affects both men and women, JFS reports that women comprise the majority of its clients. Additional research and planning to enhance institutional partnerships and referral services with JFS could assist more people in the Jewish community to access JFS broad array of service offerings. There are limited opportunities and models for young Jewish women to rise in the career pipeline within a Jewish context. It would be of value to explore programming for young women that both offers both mentoring and leadership opportunities in San Diego s Jewish community. 6
7 Relevant organizations should develop and/or purvey Jewish sexual education curricula for girls (and boys) which could be customized in synagogues. The community should leverage Rosh Chodesh programs, particularly in post-bat mitzvah years. This program is reported as successful and there is more that could be done to build onto it and to address age segments that fall outside of its reach. In Summary Overall, the informants in this research reported challenges to the general population and to women and girls that are similar to those reported in the past. Issues of identity, isolation and the need for a variety of support services continue to be real and to need addressing in the community. While things overall have not worsened economically over the past few years, the marginalized members of the community remain marginalized. Through better communication and resource sharing, the needs of the overall Jewish population of San Diego, particularly women and girls, will be improved. 7

The other day, the hubby and I were talking about an issue with SB, when he suddenly got a far off look in his eyes. I could tell he was no longer listening to what I was saying, which irritated me.
"Am I boring you?!"
"I'm sorry," he said, jolting back to the conversation. "I was just thinking about how much I love my daughter."
And then my heart ached. Seeing your spouse as a parent is an amazing experience. Almost as profound as watching the life the two of you created together running around your house and becoming her own little person.
I absolutely love seeing my husband interact with SB. They are so crazy about each other. He is a great dad. And, his love for her makes me love him even more.
The old marketing slogan is right, having a baby does change everything. Especially your relationship. I was not prepared for that. There are plenty of good things, to be sure. But in many ways, the past two years have been the most difficult in our relationship.
Our marriage is solid. There's no cause for concern. But we have struggled since SB was born. Especially after we decided I would stay home with her. Things really changed after that. And I don't think either one of us knew how to handle it.
I'm not embarrassed to admit this. Because I am certain we are not alone. And, getting through it together has made us even stronger. Marriage is work. Love is the foundation, but you have to keep building on it.
Last night, our sick child went to sleep in our bed. Thankfully, she woke in her own this morning. Hubby went to get her, and she ran into our bedroom bearing cards. Which she thought were all for her. As hubby and I exchanged our romantic cards, she kept trying to grab them, yelling, "Mine!" This? Is our new reality. And I love it.
How has your relationship changed since you became parents? Did you feel you were prepared for it? Is this a topic we can all talk openly about, or do you think it is taboo?

Auto-tuning of Fractional Order PID Controller for a Class of Processes and Experimental Validation Using a Coupled Tank System
In this paper, relay-based auto-tuning of a fractional order proportional integral and derivative (FOPID) controller is proposed for second order plus dead time (SOPDT) plants. The controller is experimentally verified via a coupled tank system (CTS). The process dynamics of overdamped, underdamped, and critically damped plants are first modelled by using an offline relay-based method, where a maximum of four unknown parameters are determined in the simplest possible way. The describing function (DF) is obtained by considering relay with hysteresis. The use of robust features like gain margin and phase margin, as well as iso-damping property to tune the five parameters of the controller greatly improves the controlled system's performance. A significant advantage of the proposed tuning method is that a priori information of the system's gain and phase crossover frequencies is not required while tuning the controller. The proposed model is validated through simulation studies in a class of process models, and also verified experimentally on a CTS from Feedback.

I haven't actually seen a graffiti art in person which is as beautiful as this one. Here in the Philippines, you know how the walls are just filled with vandals which aren't really nice to look at. Some were just bad words or anything that aren't pleasing to the eyes. Hence, I know that there are some places here with walls of art and it looks wonderful too. :) Hope to hear from you soon!ReplyDelete
Love, Airish
Gorgeous Glance
I truly understand it, glad to see them here in Melbourne though there are some in Sydney but not as much here. Thanks for commenting Airish, will see you again in your blog.Delete

Falmouth (Jamaica), June 3: New Zealand batsmen had a disappointing outing on the opening day of their final three-day warm-up match as they struggled against leg-spinner Damion Jacobs here.
The visitors were reduced to 203 for nine at tea by a Jamaica Select XI, forcing a declaration with the hope of having their bowlers get a critical bowl ahead of the first Test against West Indies, starting Sunday, reports CMC.
However, persistent rain washed out the final session, robbing the tourists of precious time in the middle at the Trelawny Multi-Purpose Complex Monday (June 2).
Kane Williamson top scored with 47, Bradley-John Watling got 30 and James Neesham, 28 not out, but all the other batsmen struggled.
Jacobs was the best bowler with four for 45 while pacers Chris Powell (2-21) and Derval Green (2-26), finished with two wickets apiece.
Williamson hit six fours off 77 balls in just under two hours at the crease before being dismissed by Green.
New Zealand declared their innings at 203 for nine in 64 overs (Kane Williamson 47, Ross Taylor 23, Bradley-John Watling 30, James Neesham 28 not out, Ishan Sodhi 21 not out), Chris Powell 2/21, Derval Green 2/26, Damion Jacobs 4/69 vs Jamaica Select XI

The Cyclones open their campaign by sending righthander Jeff Landing to the hill.
Landing pitched nine games with Brooklyn last season and made 14 starts earlier this year for Class-A Hagerstown in the South Atlantic League, going 5-5 with a 4.40 ERA. The Cyclones rotation also figures to feature Orlando Rengel, who was with Hagerstown for the better part of a month earlier this year and went 0-1 with an 8.56 ERA in five games (one start), while introducing collegiate players Sal Aguilar, Eric Brown and Joe D'Alessandro to professional ball.
As the Cyclones usually do, the team will also feature a number of hurlers capable of moving from the bullpen to the rotation, like Bobby Parnell, who was with Brooklyn last season.
RHP Jeff Landing RHP Orlando Rengel RHP Sal Aguilar RHP Eric Brown RHP Joe D'Alessandro
LHP Erik Domangue RHP Jared Eichelberger LHP Edgar Alfonzo RHP Travis Hope RHP Waner Mateo RHP Bobby Parnell RHP Jorge Reyes RHP Kyle Risinger LHP Kevin Tomasiewicz
Projected Starting Lineup
The Cyclones' lineup figures to feature a number of promising players, including Kingsport's 2004 Sterling Award Winner, outfielder Jesus Gamero, and Caleb Stewart, a .314 hitter at Capital City in 2004.
Other players of note include power-hitting first baseman Jabe Bergeron, who hit .283 with 10 homers at three different levels last season, fifth-round pick Drew Butera, Western Kentucky standout Tim Grogan and promising rookie Jonathan Malo, a Canadian product whom the Mets are high on.
C – Drew Butera 1B – Jabe Bergeron 2B – Armand Gaerlan 3B – Tim Grogan SS – Jonathan Malo OF – Jesus Gamero OF – Greg Gonzalez OF – Caleb Stewart
Brooklyn's deep bench – subject to change – should include 2004 Kingsport players Rafael Arroyo and Josh Petersen, Cyclones returnee Matt Fisher, plus two local products: St. Thomas Aquinas outfielder Mike Sharpe and Wantagh, N.Y. native Joe Holden.
