After escaping conflict in South Sudan, many teenagers now find themselves left with the responsibility of caring for their families in a foreign land.
From fetching firewood and water, adolescent girls have also taken up parental roles. They are responsible for younger children in the absence of parents killed in conflict or separated from their families.
At the Bidi bidi refugee settlement in Uganda's northern Yumbe district, Agnes Sida who lost her parents while still in South Sudan is now the head of the household.
She managed to flee to Uganda with her siblings but lost her baby to malaria shortly after they arrived in the country.
The 17-year-old is one of thousands of girls now forced to be caregivers.
"My mind will not settle, I keep on crying, thinking of the baby, thinking of my future, how it could be. I left school I did not sit for this test for this first term. Now these days I'm sitting at home," said Sida.
The UN children's agency, UNICEF and its partners have set up a programme to help teenagers engage in activities like poetry and singing and discuss issues affecting them.
The forum is meant to provide the girls with a social support system, teach them life skills, and help them access toiletries like sanitary pads and soap.
Agencies say children and teenagers are often at risk of abuse, neglect, violence, exploitation and trafficking while in exile.
South Sudan's civil war erupted out of political infighting in late 2013; just two years after South Sudan declared independence from Sudan and took over running its own affairs.
Since then, nearly two million people have fled fighting that the United Nations has said amounts in some areas to ethnic cleansing.
The United Nations has called on South Sudan's leaders to take more responsibility for stemming the world's fastest growing refugee crisis and enable millions to go back home and rebuild.
"If I study very hard I will become an accountant, maybe I will not call for money from them and now I'm educated. I will tell them I'm now educated — I'll help some of the neighbours also because before I was helped by people, let me also help them," said South Sudanese Refugee, Hellen Lavina.
"They work with the mentors, a mentor has 18 girls. Those 18 girls get to know each other, and we think that this friendship this social network can be for the long term. And then we have done the go back to school campaign because we found out that many of them were school drop outs and we would like them to go back to school. We want these girls to acquire an education – an education that can help them to shape their future," said Faidah Ded Obombasa, a life skills assistant.
In the meantime, Uganda is facing difficulties in coping with the influx of refugees arriving in the country every day.
The east African country hosts 1.2 million refugees, of which about 800,000 are South Sudanese who fled the world's youngest country.
Hunger has also compounded the country's problems, with 5.5 million people in need of food.
Many arrive in Uganda, malnourished and weak from days of trekking.
Moses Rem fled from Yei after his brother was killed. He managed to escape with his family as well as his brother's three children.
"On the way, we were eating okra leaves. These are the things that made these children suffer these two days. Some of them did not have enough power for moving that is why I will carry them on the wheel of the bicycle and push them," said Remo.
The refugees are now on their way to Mvepi settlement where they will be registered and settled.
Uganda has a liberal refugee policy that maintains open borders and allocates land plots to individual refugee families. The country is expecting to host an additional 400,000 refugees this year.

Italian Barbera from 1964 to 2013
The gray weather parted allowing a small group of us to taste through a range of Barbera on my back deck. Unspoken etiquette ensured we had bottles of Champagne and white wine to occupy ourselves as the bottles of Barbera were opened and I fussed with the grill. Both starter bottles were excellent. Having now tasted NV Demiere Ansiot, Champagne Grand Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs I can state that I want to drink it again. This is surprisingly complex Champagne with frothy bubbles and balance such that it should be drunk up right now. If you like mature Champagne go buy several bottles. The 2007 Red Newt, Gewurztraminer, Curry Creek Vineyard, Finger Lakes is comparatively younger in profile with its dense flavors of nuts and tropical fruit. It is a lot of wine.
We began the Barbera tasting with a trio of four old wines, one of which was bagged. My favorite is the 1967 Casa Vinicola Antonio Vallana, Barbera del Cantina di Bacco. Some did not like it which meant I was left with the lion's share of old-school sweaty aromas and sweet, concentrated, silky fruit. From the same vintage I also liked the 1967 Cattaneo Adorno Giustiniani, Castello di Gabiano Riserva which with one "b" is one of Italy's smallest DOCs from Monferrato and not to be confused with the estate from the south of Florence. The brighter fruit and blood are gently delivered making for a different expression of Barbera. This brightness could be attributed to the wine containing up to 10% Freisa and Grignolino. Our oldest bottle of 1964 Poderi di Luigi Einaudi, Barbera is a survivor for I drank a glass of leftovers the next night with only slightly diminished pleasure. It is bright, tart, and bit acidic making it more of a curiosity. The brown-bagged 1974 Angelo Papagni, Barbera is a wine that is simply too old.
Our next two bottles were flawed. It is a shame because the 1990 Poderi Aldo Conterno, Conca Tre Pile, Barbera D'Alba has the potential to be very good. There is not telling what the 1999 Elio Grasso, Vigna Martina, Barbera D'Alba should be like.
In young territory the 2005 Antica Casa Vinicola Scarpa, La Bogliona, Barbera D'Asti is young primary and attractively floral. In contrast the 2006 Antica Casa Vinicola Scarpa, La Bogliona, Barbera D'Asti sports heft, brawn, and good flavor. It is one to age for many more years. Also promising is the elegant and impeccably balanced 2008 Bartolo Mascarello, Barbera D'Alba. The last bottle of 2013 Coppo, Pomorosso, Barbera d'Asti proved to be the youngest and most modern wine. It is a good, articulated wine but not of my preferred style. Based on these wines I would like to repeat the tasting but focus in on 1990s and older.
NV Demiere Ansiot, Champagne Grand Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs
Becky Wasserman selection imported by USA Wine Imports. This wine is 100% Chardonnay. Alcohol 12%. The nose begins with a yeast hint then toast and apple orchard aromas which together make for a very satisfying nose. In the mouth are racy flavors of delicate berries, definitely fruity, and frothy bubbles. The fizz is not hard rather it is subtle. This is an excellent wine for drinking now, it is complex with baking spices and a clean finish. **** Now.
2007 Red Newt, Gewurztraminer, Curry Creek Vineyard, Finger Lakes
Alcohol 14.7%. The color is bright and golden with a green hint. The flavors mix nuts with tropical fruit with a tilt towards sweet flavors. This fine, dense wine has a minerally middle. Good stuff! **** Now – 2020.
1964 Poderi di Luigi Einaudi, Barbera
Imported by T. Elenteny Imports. Alcohol 11%-14%. The nose is musky at first morphing to old leather as it cleans up and with air adds in cinnamon. The wine itself is earthy with bright acidity and a clean flavor profile of tart cherry and cranberry red fruit. It is a little tired towards the finish but the tart fruit persists in the aftertaste. ** Now.
1974 Angelo Papagni, Barbera (brown bagged mystery wine)
Alcohol 12.5%. A garnet color but one sniff and taste tell that this wine is way past prime. Not Rated.
1967 Cattaneo Adorno Giustiniani, Castello di Gabiano Riserva
Imported by T. Elenteny Imports. This wine is probably a blend of 90%-95% Barbera with the rest Freisa and Grignolino. Alcohol 11%-14%. The nose smells of blood. In the mouth this is a bright, forward wine with nice bright acidity and up-front grip. It sports an old-school gentleness and softness. Notes of polished wood eventually come out. The blood returns in the aftertaste. *** Now but will last.
1967 Casa Vinicola Antonio Vallana, Barbera del Cantina di Bacco, Colline Novaresi
Imported by The Rare Wine Co. Alcohol 12.5%. The nose is old-school, sweaty and sweet. In the mouth the ripe fruit is sweet with concentration. This silky, smooth wine gains focus and length with air. There is fine texture and weight to the core of fruit which is surrounded by sweaty notes and wood. **** Now but will last.
1990 Poderi Aldo Conterno, Conca Tre Pile, Barbera D'Alba
Imported by T. Elenteny Imports. Alcohol 11%-14%. Sadly cooked on the nose. In the mouth though are gobs of mouth filling fruit with a fine, ripe texture from the tannins. There are tart red fruit flavors in the finish. Correct bottles should be quite good. Not Rated.
1999 Elio Grasso, Vigna Martina, Barbera D'Alba
Alcohol 14.5%. Bad bottle! Not Rated.
2005 Antica Casa Vinicola Scarpa, La Bogliona, Barbera D'Asti
Alcohol 14%. The nose is still young and clean with finely scented aromas of violets. Still youthful in the most this primary wine is fresh with watering acidity. ***(*) Now – 2027.
2006 Antica Casa Vinicola Scarpa, La Bogliona, Barbera D'Asti
Alcohol 14%. The color is darker with a purple tinge. The nose sports more heft to the aromas. In the mouth the flavors are brawnie and matched by additional tannins. There is dark red fruit, rounded feel, and a good personality. This will age for a long time. ***(*) Now – 2032.
2007 G. D. Vajra, Barbera D'Alba Superiore
Imported by The Country Vintner. Alcohol 14.5%. It is hard to get past the over-ripe, full-bore fruit. The wine becomes tangy with serious weight. ** Now.
2008 Bartolo Mascarello, Barbera D'Alba
Imported by The Rare Wine Co. Alcohol 14%. An elegant nose moves on to bright red fruit over a black fruit foundation. This wine is balanced with grippy personality, texture and some ink. The structure is finely integrated with the fruit. ***(*) Now – 2027.
2013 Coppo, Pomorosso, Barbera d'Asti
Imported by Folio Wine Partners. Alcohol 14.5%. This is an articulated, young, modern wine that is not without attraction. Not really my style but I can appreciate it. *** Now – 2025.
Old-school 1979 De Forville Barbaresco
I opened the 1979 De Forville, Barbaresco on a whim when I found out a dinner guest at our house is another wine lover. I picked up this bottle from Chambers Street Wine a year or two ago on the recommendation of Jamie. De Forville is a 19th century estate which, according to the Wasserman's, produced this wine using the traditional methods of long skin contact and long cask aging. The 1979 vintage was uneven but I suspect the traditional winemaking and careful storage ensured that it arrived at my table in fine shape. This bottle fleshed out then peaked after 15 to 30 minutes. It is more complex in the mouth and when opened up, reveals mouth filling old-school flavors. I happily savored the last glass while I read a mystery book.
1979 De Forville, Barbaresco
Imported by T. Elenteny Imports. Alcohol 13%. The cranberry with mixed red fruit nose reveals that the wine is very much alive. In the mouth the flavors of leather and red fruit soon flesh out a bit. This is an old-school wine with plenty of grip and acidity. It becomes more complex in the mouth adding black fruit, wood notes, and an inky bit. It wraps up with ethereal ripeness in the aftertaste. **** Now but will last.
Outstanding Bottles of Giacosa and Conterno
At the end of October I was fortunate to attend an Italian tasting largely focused in on the wines of Bruno Giacosa and Giacomo Conterno. No tasting of Barolo should be without a mature example and this one began with a very fine 1967 Giacomo Conterno, Barolo. Double-decanted midday it continued to slowly develop in the glass. I can only write that I love the aroma and flavor of this type of wine. Also with attractive maturity, the 1978 Carlo Boffa & Figli, Barbaresco Riserva Vigna Vitalotti is meatier and earthier but leaves the impression of being tired.
The youthful white-labeled pair of 1996 Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Gallina di Neive and 1997 Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Santo Stefano di Neive did not prepare me for the outstanding red-labels. At 20 years of age the 1996 Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Riserva Asili is beginning to move past its youthful stage. It is a powerful, intense wine which never takes away from the beautiful flavors. Younger in age and profile, the 2001 Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Riserva Rabaja promises a great future. There are primary aromas and flavors right now but everything is in place for slow development.
Completely different in nature the 1997 Giacomo Conterno, Barolo Riserva Monfortino, with moderate concentration and complexity, acted as a segway to the outstanding 2000 Giacomo Conterno, Barolo Riserva Monfortino. This is a highly refined, ethereally flavored wine which fills the mouth. With air it fleshes out to provide seamless pleasure. What a tasting!
1980 Stony Hill, Chardonnay, Napa Valley
Alcohol 13%. Looks like a copper-orange wine. There is a complex nose which is a touch maderized. In the mouth is focused, driven flavors that are quite lively and even sport some body but the wine is clearly not correct. Not Rated.
2010 Domaine Leflaive, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes
Imported by Wilson Daniels. Alcohol 13.5%. The flint aromas make the nose stand out. In the mouth the precise, lemon fruit mixes with flint and smoke. This is a persistent, tart wine with lime flavors and a long, finely textured finish. Impressive now. **** Now – 2026.
2005 Domaine des Croix, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
A Becky Wasserman selection imported by Wine Cellars LTD. Alcohol 13.5%. The subtle nose is a touch earthy and lactic. A significantly rounder body is backed by glycerin. Flavors of lemon and lime take on subtle baking spices. It improves with air, filling the mouth with flavors and the sensation of an oily, luxurious body. ***(*) Now – 2021.
2010 Lucien Le Moine, Corton Blanc Grand Cru
Imported by Barrel One Selections. This is aromatic with sweet fruit and floral spices. The tart start is focused yet offers weight. It is almost puckering with a wood hint, floral flavors throughout, and smoke in the finish. It is almost spicy. **** Now – 2026.
2005 Etienne Sauzet, Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Imported by Vineyard Brands. A slight darker color hints at the inevitable. Shame!
1967 Giacomo Conterno, Barolo
Imported by suitcase. The nose is subtly smokey. In the mouth are lively, fresh flavors that are initially linear and focused but expand by the finish. There is bottle aged complexity as this wine is beyond fruit. I like the blend of old leather and weighty, animale flavors that develop with air. ****(*) Now – 2026.
1978 Carlo Boffa & Figli, Barbaresco Riserva Vigna Vitalotti
Imported by The Rare Wine Co. The meaty nose is good and opens up a bit with air. In the mouth this is grippy with tart red fruit, and an animale nature. It builds subtle ripeness but is ultimately leaner and not as flavorful. *** Now.
1996 Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Gallina di Neive
Imported by Winebow. Alcohol 14%. The fruitier nose is attractive with complex bitters-like aroma. This grippy wine starts with dry tannins and young fruit but it has very attractive grip, long taste, and a haunting personality. ***(*) Now-2031.
1997 Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Santo Stefano di Neive
Imported by Winebow. Alcohol 13.5%. The darker nose is more subtle. This is a rounder wine with less acidity and tannins, despite its youthful flavor. It shows more balance at this time. The complex red and black fruit are supported by some firm, underlying structure. ***(*) Now – 2026.
2001 Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Riserva Rabaja
Imported by Wine Cellars. Alcohol 14%. The aromas step out of the glass, primarily exuding violets. This is very young in the mouth, powerful with very fine tannins. A core of blackberry fruit comes out. This clearly has a strong future ahead. ****(*) Now – 2036
1996 Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Riserva Asili
Imported by Premier Cru. Alcohol 14%. The nose is concentrated and strong with fruity aromas of licorice. The rounded start is powerful with intense structure and fine, grippy tannins. The flavor, though, is undeniably beautify with density, and some bacon fat. The liquidity of the wine is bound with the acidity. ****(*) Now – 2031.
1997 Giacomo Conterno, Barolo Riserva Monfortino
Imported by MacArthur Liquors. Alcohol 14%. The flavors are of lighter berries and almost roast earth. The wine remains firm with fine, strong tannins. There is structure to last but the flavor concentration does not seem to be there. **** Now – 2026.
2000 Giacomo Conterno, Barolo Riserva Monfortino
Imported by Vieux Vins. Alcohol 14%. The young grapey nose makes way to a smooth entry of mouth filling, black, ethereal flavors. The power of this wine builds with time becoming fleshier too. Lovely and very classy. ****(*) Now – 2026.
2012 Donnhoff, Oberhauser Brucke Riesling Eiswein, Nahe
Imported by Kirkcrest Imports. Alcohol 7.5%. This, bright, electric wine is noticeable for its residual sugar and almost effervescent sensation on the tongue. The spices soon mix with sweet grapefruit and sugar. Young and a bit hard to drink at this stage. **** 2026-2046.
2002 Alois Kracher, Scheurebe Trockenbeeren Auslese #6 Zwischen den Seen, Neusiedlersee
Imported by Kirkcrest Imports. Alcohol 8.5%. Like liquid amber, this aromatic wine is lovely with an apricot hint that is more fresh than dried. It adds baking spices and cinnamon. Weighty with good integration of sweetness. **** Now – 2026.
A bit too old, Monte Antico and Pio Cesare from 1979
My friend Sudip is a gambling man who is all for trying any old vintage of wine. A gamble and a bit of recklessness was all that was required to try the 1979 Castello di Monte Antico, Tuscany. Neil and Maria Empson started Monte Antico in 1977, some five years after founding their wine importing company. Monte Antico is a super-Tuscan wine, meaning it is a blend of Sangiovese with international varieties, in this case Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Super-Tuscans grew in popularity during 1970s. This particular wine is one I drank with some occurrence during my university years in the 1990s because it was affordable. I had no expectation it would be a decent drink or even palatable, being a budget wine, but the bottle looked good, the price was cheap, and it reminded me of times past. The color was in the autumnal brown spectrum and the nose was advanced, as in roasted earth. But in the mouth it was surprisingly round with hints of sweet fruit that developed into licorice. But for the nose it would rate higher.
Two wines from the same vintage makes for more fun. I expected the 1979 Pio Cesare, Barolo Riserva to be better than the Monte Antico and it was. This was another cheap purchase made years ago. After an hour of air, I simply pulled the cork. The wine gave all that it could. The fruit has departed leaving leather and mushroom but the lively, tense acidity still remains. It fades soon in the glass. Neither bottle was finished but other young wines were. Sudip had fun.
1979 Castello di Monte Antico, Tuscany
Shipped by Neil Empson. Imported by Wine Imports. Alcohol 12.5%. The nose initially smelled of roasted earth then celery. It is much better in the mouth, round with hints of sweet fruit. Certainly old but bits of fruit and licorice come out. Two stars for flavor but overall * Now.
1979 Pio Cesare, Barolo Riserva
Imported by Paterno Imports. Alcohol 13.5%. Though an advanced color it had a lively tension. It is simple at first and surprisingly closed. After an hour of air it opened up. All fruit gone having left just bottle aged flavors of leather, mushroom, and a very fine texture. ** Now.
Drinks from the holiday weekend
There was no shortage of grilled food and wine this Memorial Day weekend. Thanks to many generous people I got to try decades worth of wine. An inexpensive bottle of NV L.A. Cetto Vino Espumoso from Baja California enlivened a lunchtime sangria. The first serious wine is a magnum of 2006 Macarico, Aglianico del Vulture which smelled and tasted great from the very first pour. It still has strength but the tannic edges are receding such that you notice the dark fruit and minerals. I wish I could age more of these wines. The 1998 Chapoutier, Hermitage Monier de La Sizeranne showed much better oak integration than when tasted last summer. It is a substantial wine with a long future. The 1971 M. Mascarello, Nebbiolo d'Alba held up for several hours after double-decanting. It was sweaty on the nose, in an attractive old-school way to me, but better in the mouth with lively acidity and a core of flavor.
The 1971 M. Mascarello helped show how a 1976 Chateau de Beaucastel, Chateauneuf du Pape was even fruitier with notes of old wood. It made for a perfectly good drink. I will follow this post with a real tasting note. The magnum of 2007 Domaine Ponsot, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Cuvee des Alouettes showed on the elegant side of the spectrum with very clean fruit. Other drinks include a 2003 Le Vieux Donjon, Chateauneuf du Pape that is youthful and packs quite a lot of forward fruit.
Roland opened a slew of bottles including 1990 Alain Graillot, La Guiraude, Crozes-Hermitage. This wine is made from a selection of the best barrels and is certainly the oldest Crozes-Hermitage that I have tasted. This was still clean and fresh with that sense of lightness a Crozes can offer. It was almost suspended in time.
The 2007 Henri Bonneau, Chateauneuf du Pape was quite tight right after double-decanting. Nevertheless a few minutes of swirling coaxed an elegant wine. It has quite a bit of focus and certainly more heft than the ethereal Marie Beurrier can have. The 2001 Domaine Bois De Bourson, Chateauneuf du Pape showed great right out of the decanter. It is drinking near peak with earthy flavors and garrigue delivered with grip. A pour from the end of the 1990 Jamet, Cote Rotie provided a really good glass. There was an aspect of elegance to the maturing and complex flavors.
The 1994 Chateau de Fonsalette, Cotes du Rhone drank quite well. This is a generous Rayas wine made from Syrah. It is floral with dark blue fruit, wood notes, and good complexity.
I also tried a surprisingly savory, dense, and fruity bottle of 1996 Chateau Ste Michelle, Merlot Reserve, Columbia Valley. This came from a mediocre vintage and if this took a toll on the wine it was only that the finish was a bit short. This wine was made under David Lake MW which probably explains why it is still balanced and lively. There is not much Charbono around so you should try whatever you can. The 2011 Calder Wine Company, Charbono, Meyer Vineyard, Napa Valley is still not up to the quality of the 2009 vintage but it reveals vintage perfume unique to the grape.
As for dessert wines the half-bottle of 1983 Zilliken, Saarburger Rausch Riesling Eiswein contained only 7% alcohol. The undoubtedly high levels of residual sugar were perfectly balanced by the acidity. It is really easy to drink and is entering the middle of life. Finally, a double-decanted 1977 Warre's, Vintage Port needed just a little air before showing dense flavors of dark blue, racy fruit. Good stuff! There were some other wines I tried but I did not get a look at the bottles.
If you hate Altare read this post
David Bloch is surprised by a bottle of Altare.
2001 Elio Altare, Barolo (normale)
Let me say up front that my favorite Piedmonte producers include both Mascarellos, both Conternos, Vietti, Vajra, Rinaldi and Giacosa. So it may come as a surprise to read that I thought this was a really good Barolo. Yeah, open top roto-fermenters, micro oxygenation, etc. etc. etc. The bottom line is that this is a complete Nebbiolo that smelled of roses and violets, tasted like dark berries and earth, and has some really, really fine grained tannins still left unresolved. Bricking at the edge, the wine was delicate yet persistent all the way through. The wine was paired with grilled 35-day dry aged ribeye and baked Cavatappi with Taleggio, Gruyère and Provolone Piccante, topped with bacon crumbles. The Barolo was a perfect foil for this quiet Mother's Day meal at home.
Notes from the dump bin: 1999 Corino, L'Insieme
L'Insieme or "together" is a charity project spearheaded by Elio Altare. Eight winemakers from Piedmont formed a group where each made a wine called L'Insieme based on their own particular blend. In my case I tasted the blend from Giovanni Corino. After double-decanting the wine, I found it was firm so we let it sit for a few more hours. The wine morphed from tasting just past prime maturity to a mouthfilling wine with interesting perfumed and floral notes. Even Jenn found it rather good. If I were to try another bottle I would double-decant it four hours ahead of time. This wine was purchased from the dump bin at MacArthur Beverages.
1999 Giovanni Corino, L'Insieme, Vino da Tavola – $30
A Marc de Grazia selection imported by Bacchus LTD. This wine is a blend of 50% Nebbiolo and 50% Barbera with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Alcohol 14%. The nose remained firm with Bordeaux like aromas. In the mouth this maturing wine began with firm, black fruit flavors, polished wood, dry tannins, and an assertive finish. With air it developed blue, weighty fruit matched by integrated acidity. Though the structure remained, it took on cinnamon notes and a little coarseness near the end. This bit of ruggedness did not deny the wine from developing mouth filling flavors that became both perfumed and floral. ***(*) Now – 2020.

Little Jackson - Poem by Randy McClave
Little Jackson, he hates the poor
As that is how he was raised,
If he ever sees them suffering or even begging
He sings hallelujah and then to GOD he gives praise.
When he has an extra dime, he never gives it to the needy
Instead he bounces it off the head of the poor, and gives it to the greedy.
Little Jackson, he hates welfare
He thinks that if people don't work, they should just starve,
He has turned a deaf ear to their needs and wants
Especially at Christmas time when a turkey is carved.
He believes that in his life there is only one plead
For him to be happy, and others not to worry about or feed.
Little Jackson, he hates the low income
But, of course they are not his problems at all,
His parents preached that if they don't work they should die
So, the beliefs of his parents he will always remember and recall.
The friends that he has, they are of all one social standing
They mock the poor! and the needy they are always branding.
Little Jackson, he hates the impoverished
And to help? he doesn't, his parents have done the research,
They all are lazy and shiftless and drug induced beggars
So, he never gives donations to them when he goes to church.
I wonder about little Jackson, does he pray when he goes to bed
Because of his parents' belief, another Jackson somewhere is dead.

Matt added coaching and leadership certifications from the highly sought out coaching and consulting firm Vision to Action as well as a Certificate in Transformational Coaching from Western Seminary. Matt's life simply revolves around one key word, relationships.

He has seen what happens in the lives of families when there is no plan, and he strives to help families aim for far better outcomes. Through proven techniques, careful listening, and engaging questions, Matt's coaching approach guides families to their ultimate goals. He helps families determine what they want, why it's important, and what their plans are to make it happen, and together they evaluate how well that plan is working.

For the past eight years Matt has been living a debt-free life, and he's passionate about helping other families do the same. The way Matt's life has been shaped it's hard to picture him not having the college experience he had. In fact, it's fuel for what he does now!

Having Cat Helps Protect From Cat Allergy
Having Cat Helps Protect From Cat Allergy But Not Allergies In General
Living in a house with a cat might help stop children developing a cat allergy, but not from developing allergies in general.
New research by the Wellington School of Medicine's Asthma Research Group shows that children who lived with a cat are less likely to be allergic to cats than children who had never lived with them, but just as likely to be allergic to house dust mites.
"We measured how allergic children were by measuring their antibodies to various allergens. We found striking differences between antibodies to cats and antibodies to house dust mites, with house dust mites antibodies 10 times higher than antibodies to cats. This may explain why sensitivity to house dust mites is more of a problem than sensitivity to cats," says Asthma Research Group Director, Dr Julian Crane.
"The message for cat owning families is that it is a good idea to keep your cat to help prevent children becoming allergic to them. However, if a child does develop a cat allergy, and especially if they also have asthma, it is better to get rid of the cat," he says.
Professor Crane says New Zealand is an interesting
country to use in studies of allergies because we have a lot
of allergic diseases, high rates of house dust mites, and
are fond of keeping cats, most of which come indoors. The
research was conducted together with researchers in the
United States, and results published this month in the
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

Barry Callebaut to enhance Gourmet offerings
Global chocolate manufacturer Barry Callebaut has improved its Gourmet capabilities and enhanced its portfolio to meet the growing demand in China.
The company's Gourmet products are used by chocolatiers, pastry chefs, bakeries, hotels, restaurants and caterers.
The manufacturer explained that the gourmet business has doubled in China over the past four years.
Barry Callebaut CEO Antoine de Saint-Affrique said: "The Gourmet business is an important business for us in China, and it is growing fast. As the world's most populous country, China has the potential to become the biggest Gourmet market in the world.
"The question is not if it will happen, only how fast it will happen. That's why we are expanding our offerings in China for chocolate artisans, pastry chefs and other professional users of chocolate."
According to Euromonitor International, Asia Pacific is anticipated to become one of the fastest growing chocolate regions, and the $2.8bn chocolate confectionery category in China is expected to reach $3.9bn by 2021.
The company is planning major enhancements to improve its Gourmet capabilities and its portfolio to capitalise on this growing market, which includes the delivery of a new range of chocolate and cocoa products for professionals.
The company also plans to perform sales activities across China and launch a digital marketing platform on the country's social media.
It also upgraded a Chocolate Academy centre in Shanghai, where more than 2,000 professionals were trained by the European and international chefs.
de Saint-Affrique concluded: "Our ambition as the global cocoa and chocolate leader is very clear: we need to be the market leader in every place that really matters, and China is clearly one."

Cover: The front alone lacks punch, I hope that hasn't put off any random browsers, but as a whole it really works; dynamic, colourful really well drawn and just a bit different. Flint hasn't gone quite as bonkers with his alien designs as he does on the interior pages though!
Dredd: Served Cold part eight
Dredd confronts Deller, but in the ensuing fight his bionic eyes are knocked out by an EMP grenade. Deller is latter seemingly killed at the hands of other judges but is actually saved by one of Ryders men who uses another clone body as decoy. He claims ownership of the criminal organisation after his boss's death and offers Deller a partnership.
I'll forgive the relative lack of action through this storyline as this week we have people exploding all over the place! While things are wrapped up a little too nicely as far as Deller's escape goes; the promise of a new reoccurring villain is a nice idea. Mega-City One approach to crime fighting rarely leaves this as a possibility. John Higgins art coupled with Sally Hurst colours has been a treat throughout, I hope they get another stint on Dredd sooner rather than later.
Shakara: Avenger part twelve
Overlord Brenneka's armada continues to be decimated by the world engine weapon, whilst Shakara himself continues to grow weaker due to infection by the Red Death.
Not a lot happens here really, but when you have Flint illustrating literally hundreds of space ships exploding and crashing into one another you can't really complain. I imagine Robbie Morrison wanted at least a couple of Progs to show the carnage that the Shakaran weapons can deliver, so with 2 instalments left we should be getting getting more with regards to the plot next week. While I'll be sad to see the strip go I'd rather it go out with a bang than be dragged out for another book.
Flesh: Texas part two
'Boots' McGurk is attacked by the irradiated Tyrannosaurs Gore-head just managing escape. The dinosaur cattle drive kicks off in full.
A Great improvement over last week. McKay still doesn't seem to have settled into an art style, the weight and shape of his lines seem to change drastically from page to page and not in the context of the panel. I do think it all looks good, but it's a little distracting. Story-wise we get loads of quirky "Millisms" but he could have left out yet another dig at religion. I really liked the use of the messages from the CEO of Trans-Time concerning the state of affairs in the future, (present?) they really added some density to the plot.
Future Shocks: The Last James Drillard
A multi-dimensional crime lord finally tracks down the final James Drillard, a man who in his own dimension had betrayed him.
A catchy enough premise, a little wordier and more engaging than last week but again let down by an un-climatic twist. Filler, but Future Shocks are as much at the heart of 2000AD as Dredd so I certainly don't mind their inclusion. Only the greatest stay with you but they normally make for a nice change of pace.
Kingdom: His Master's Voice part twelve
Gene kills General Hurlocker and leads Clara Bow and the rest of the mongrels on another walkabout.
This is not so much a new status quo, more returning to the old, but the dynamic is certainly to be different with new characters but more importantly a change in Gene as a character. The vignette regarding the origin of Genes name was touching and I can't wait for this series to return.
Next week There's likely to be a new ongoing story as well as a new Dredd, Shakara gets ever closer to its big finale and Flesh continues. The Prog's really in a strong state right now, after what I felt was a shaky start to the year.

I am really excited about the workshop S3 is presenting at the Medical Device Conference. The presentation will take a look at how different types of industries measure effectiveness. We are in process of touring, interviewing, observing, and documenting several interesting places to bring value to the MDC attendees. We will be looking at Shatto Milk Company, US Toy's 750,000 sq foot Distribution Center, a Call Center, a manufacturing facility, and more. During the workshop we will use the case studies to determine how efficiency and effectiveness metrics were used to improve productivity, customer satisfaction, and more. We will be applying the learning to developing useful metrics (IndicaresTM) for your hospital's patient communication platform.
I will be blogging about some of the experiences prior to the class so stay tuned to learn more.

How do you train core skills? For example, how do you train your account managers to be better at managing people i.e. their teams?
This must be simple. If clients can trust them as advisors, they most likely can connect socially, ask great questions, test assumptions and interact. A good manager of people need all of these abilities.
Excellent account managers know how to ask questions that expand the customer's knowledge of what works in their organization. When the customer ask for the impossible, they know what to say to explain why it's not going to work, all without any offence. Excellent account managers can determine the assumptions the customer is making and occasionally challenge them to guarantee that the strategy works; and, obviously, they're very good at getting the client to agree.
The skills described above are core skills. These are the skills that are needed for facing clients as well as colleagues or team members. What is fascinating is the fact that these abilities are seldom approached in the manner described above. Typically, companies train and coach people in different contexts without recognizing that they are basically the same.
When developing skills together, it is easier for the person to remember the new skills when applied in different contexts. That is because they develop deeper sensory connections in the brain that produces an embodied feeling of how to utilize the skills in not just one context.
Listed below is a typical example of how to develop core skills.
Developing Core Skills
Determine the core skills necessary in their business setting. These include the skills that individuals need in responding to customers, colleagues or team members. Then design a development program in which individuals learn and practice the skills in various contexts.
If you can make the practice context as real as possible, the more effective the training will be. For instance, let the people practice asking for building client relationships, first with their colleagues and then in a rehearsal of meeting. In another instance, ask people to practice saying a pitch for making social connections and agreeing action. Make a simulation with a group member who's having performance issues.
Your brain can work flexibly
There is strong medical proof that this strategy is effective.
A recent research by Michael Cole has investigated the mind's "flexible hub" theory in connection to transferring skills.
"Flexible hubs" are regions in the brain that coordinate action throughout the mind in order to execute tasks.
By examining activity whilst the hubs connected during the execution of particular tasks, scientists discovered distinctive patterns that allowed them to determine the hubs' part in utilizing existing skills for new tasks.
The process, referred to as compositional coding, enables skills learned in one context to be applied also in others, thus reducing the learning curve. By monitoring and evaluating the performance of people, the research confirmed that the transfer of skills helped accelerate learning of new tasks, and the use of existing skills in the new setting.
Creating training based on the "flexible hubs" theory
How do your management or HR training programs make use of this "flexible hubs" theory?
We often divide learning into sections; a program for increasing team performance, another program for improving customer relationships, and yet another program for self-improvement.
We should take a holistic view of learning and applying the core skills in all types of circumstances. In the cases above, we frequently make use of the same skills in situations dealing with both customer and colleagues, but we name them differently or use them in only one context.
Understanding Your Neurophysiology
If your managers already have the necessary core skills but have developed them in various contexts, you need to do two things to maximize the use of their skills.
First, let your managers know that their skills have more than one function, or tell them they already possess the skills needed for the new situation.
I understand this seems extremely simple but you'll be amazed at how often people miss the connection. Consider for instance a manager who often lose his temper and shout at his team. He was, however, an incredibly effective customer relations manager. How can he keep his cool when dealing with difficult customers, but not his team?
Apparently, he uses what he learned in martial arts. He was actually a black-belt and knew how to handle his stress with breathing, etc. Can't he use the same trick with his team? Of course he can, but he just needs to realize it!
Second, help them using physiology in applying their skills. Your ability to apply the skill and your body's emotions must be connected to efficiently use them.
Managers have to be versatile enough to use physiology in various situations, such as in coaching, and use their skills effectively. Many leaders have one stance with clients and another with their own team. It takes confidence to find one that is effective for both.
Leadership programs are supposed to help leaders become conscious of their physiology, and learn to use it for doing this and not that.
By developing the core skills of your managers and employees, you save your training budget by half!

Saturday-Sunday 1/10/04 - 1/11/04
8.0 hours
I didn't hear from the "frame guy" until Wednesday, he had it finished by Friday.
I went and picked it up Friday afternoon. It looks straight. It doesn't rock on the floor like a rocking chair anymore.
I put all the body mounts in the correct holes. I was going to use small pieces of wood in place of the mounts temporarily to make everything solid while I did the body work.
I changed my mind and chose to use the rubber body mounts for now.
The frame was slid under the body and I used a floor jack to raise it up to the body in the front.
Then I loosely installed the front mount bolts and rubber biscuits.
I moved the jack to the rear and did the same thing.
All the holes lined up! This doesn't seem right! How could that happen. I double checked...Yup they all line up.
Must be dumb luck, it's certainly not clean living!
I tightened all the body mounts and adjusted the floorpan supports where needed. Everything was then screwed together real tightly.
I turned my attention the trunk area.
I wanted to get the trunk lid properly adjusted before I cut any more metal out.
No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get it adjusted, either the gaps at the top were too wide or at the bottom.
I think the lid is bent. I measured it every way to Sunday and it seems ok. Very frustrating!
Then I started looking real hard at the trunk lid. I removed the old weather-strip and realized that this lid needs to be replaced regardless of whether it's straight or not.
Now I've gotta try and find a trunk lid. I hope I can find one locally so I don't have to pay outrageous shipping costs and I can examine it personally before I put down my hard earned cash.
Anyone wanna donate one for the cause? Just kidding.
In the meantime I intend on putting the doors back on, adjust and shim where needed and then start the patch work on the drivers side rear quarter.
See ya next weekend.

Gabriel Rufyiri is president of the Observatory for the Fight against Corruption and Economic Embezzlement (OLUCOME) in Burundi. Since 2002, the OLUCOME works on extremely sensitive cases, involving the highest authorities of the State. Because of their activities, OLUCOME members are often threatened, intimitaded or imprisoned.
In April 2009, Ernest Manirumwa, Vice President of the Observatory, was murdered at his home in Bujumbura. His murderers have not been identified yet. Since then, threats against Gabriel Rufyiri and another human rights defender, Pierre Claver Mbonimpa, president of the APRODH (Association for the Protection of Human Rights and Detained Persons) increased significantly. It's been a year that both of them are fighting in order not to leave Ernest Manirumwa's assassination unpunished.
In March and April 2010, individuals have been surprised lurking about near Gabriel Rufyiri's house or trying to break into it. According to the Observatory, M. Rufyiri has also been informed (by a reliable source) that his assassination's already planned.
The Observatory fimrly condemns these intimidation attempts, which only aims at « stopping the fight of the OLUCOME and APRODH against corruption and human rights violations in Burundi ».

MTV "A Thin Line"
Okay so my computer teacher gave us a quiz about sexting. So, I scored an 89% on the test. I got one question wrong which is if your boyfriend or girlfriend texts you 100x a day asking where you at, who you with, or etc. I said it's kind of annoying but it's not worth breaking up over it. That is not the right answer you suppose to tell your boyfriend or girlfriend that your stalking me you don't need to know what I'm doing every second of the day, it's not healthy for our relationship.
I learned that sexting is not good because you will never know where your nude or semi-nude pictures might go. It can get into the wrong hands and you can get into big trouble. I also learned going into someones private things why they are in another room is called stalking. If you that your boyfriend or girlfriend is cheating and you feel like that you can't trust him. You should have a serious talk and if you still don't trust him/her get out of that relationship. Now, about Digital Disrespect if you want say any of the gossip you put online the person's face you probably shouldn't post it or text it or not.
I learned that first impressions are really everything. Your first 12 words shows your academic level, heritage, and your personality. I really don't believe in that because I feel is though, that people get nervous when they first meet people mainly when that person can control your future. So, therefor its not always nice to judge someone like that. But, me I usually get nervous. I also try my nest not to let my nerves get the best of me. I enjoy meeting new people. How about you?! Just know you never get a second chance to give your first impression.

drinking from a text book, full of fake wine.
gulping to dissolve that anechoic mind.
with echoes stretching off the pages,

using children's tears as anesthetic,
we dissect teh rhetoric.
still the self, commodified, is severed

this spectacle, this history
is rewritten to please.
everybody laughs now.

On the first day of June, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.95%, the Standard & Poor's Index 2.18% and the and Nasdaq Composite Index 2.5%. In effect, stock market gains for the year were wiped out. The reason: Jobs.
That was the day the Labor Department said the U.S. economy created only 69,000 jobs in May, not the 150,000 it had predicted. "The vast majority of investors are choosing to panic," said Brian Jacobsen, chief portfolio strategist at Wells Fargo Funds Management, in a Reuters analysis. Evidence: Lower yields on government bonds and a spike in futures traded on the Chicago Board Options Exchange's Volatility Index, the so-called Fear Index.

Creating the Best Workplace Culture on Earth
On Expert Gold Radio this month, we look at what it takes to create the best workplace on Earth, drawing on inspiration from the Harvard Business Review and Corporate Anthropologist Michael Henderson.
Listen to the episode here:
The Best Out of Office Workplace on Earth
The workplace – and what employees want from it – has changed over the years. Modern workplaces are more focused on personal empowerment, especially for Out of Office workers, who – by definition – work out of sight, and rely on managers and leaders to provide them the tools, resources, and culture to achieve their work goals. In this conversation, Chris Pudney interviews me about a Harvard Business Review report of the best workplace on Earth, and apply them to Out of Office work.

Creating an Above The Line Culture – with Michael Henderson
In a fast-paced world, where strategy is obsolete before it's implemented, teams are short-lived, and work is global, only organisations with a strong culture will thrive. Many business leaders know culture is important but don't know how to create or foster it.

But inwardly taken there is no better remedy under the moon forthat disease i would be large in commendation of this herb, were ibut eloquent it is an herb under the dominion of venus, and under thesign scorpio.

"the alcoholic extract of the leptotaenia, which we have termed 'leptinol' is a preparation of definite and uniform strength, as determined by two methods. a the gravity test using the u s hydrometer scale for spirits, by which leptinol registers 52 degrees at 60 degrees f , and b by gentle evaporation of the alcohol content and the measuring of the active constituents, which measures twenty-five per cent by weight "the alcoholic extract 'leptinol' is glycerinated in a machine, using one writing of the alcoholic concentration to four writings of glycerin this is then added to eleven writings of a heavy syrup, containing 7-1/2 pounds of sugar to the gallon of syrup, and thoroughly mixed in an agitating machine leptinol is the sole active ingredient of syrup leptinol syrup leptinol is a preparation of uniform strength it is far more uniform in strength than most of the syrups of the u s p made from fluid extracts which are made from crude drugs which are not uniform in strength "this claim cannot be allowed as meeting the conflict with rule 1 itis well known that plants vary in their composition at different timesof the year.
