Location 4: Spring Pike Locations
Some of the best pike fishing in the world is in Sweden. The Swedish archipelago (or Skärgård) runs along the coast of the Baltic Sea. It contains numerous smaller archipelagos such as Västervik, Trosta, and Blekinge. Stockholm Harbor has yielded some record-breaking fish. Grankullavik Bay has many opportunities for a bite. Sweden's miles of rivers, too, are full of pike. Try the Kalix or the Sangis.
What makes Sweden such a heaven for pike anglers?
- Relatively few people fish here. Laws prevent overfishing by commercial fisheries, so the pike population is stable.
- Baitfish proliferate. Sweden's coastal waters are shallow and extensive, giving baitfish a large reproduction area. Long northern summer days extend feeding times. Pike love being around this much food.
- On the coast, you don't need a license for rod fishing. (In inland waters, however, you will need a license.)
- Sweden has no regulations on fish size, the use of catch bags, or the number of pike you keep. Of course, that doesn't give you justification to fish irresponsibly; practice quick, humane catch-and-release on all pike you don't want to eat.
- Privacy. Rent a boat, bring a tent, and have a whole island to yourself.
For a trip that combines fly fishing with history, take a look at Aland -- the part of the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland. Sweden's numerous rivers keep the water here from being too salty. It's been a hallowed fishing ground for several thousand years. Even before the Vikings fished here, early cultures made sacrifices of pike. In Basto Fishing Camp, you can still see pike skulls adorning trees all around the ancient fishing sites.
Ice-off in Sweden happens relatively late, around the second week of May. This is around the same time that pike spawn, however, so you can often find waters teeming with hungry pike. What happens when the waters get warmer? Read on.

So we're heading to the beach soon – our very first extremely long car ride with our toddler daughter. I know. I'm holding my breath too. (All you parents out there can send your sympathies my way at any time. Thank you in advance!)
Of course we're packing the car full of DVDs, LeapFrog Pad, books, games, and toys for her. But what about for me? I've chosen two ebooks to keep me company. Two long, can't-put-down books that will (hopefully) consume my time on the long drive.
First up, the third book in the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness, "The Book of Life". If you haven't met Diana Bishop (a witch) and Matthew Clairmont (a vampire) yet, I'm here to tell you that you're missing out. Think of this as Twilight for adults – vampire stories with greater depth, intrigue, and historical detail. A witch and a vampire meet on a university campus and search for an ancient manuscript, Ashmole 782, that may hold the key to the future of their kinds (witches, demons, and vampires).
Ms. Harkness has been an enormous influence on my own writing and I guarantee you that these stories will whisk you away to places you've only dreamed of. She is a master storyteller and blends together the supernatural with history, time travel, and science – a killer combination for me, a fiction writer with a scientific background. Besides, at nearly 600 pages, it will keep me tuned in for many hours. If I had to pick only one series to re-read annually, it would be this one. (The Outlander series comes in a close second.) This is the last edition in the series (Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night precede it), so go get these books!
The other book I'm taking to the beach is Emma Campion's "A Triple Knot", the story of Joan of Kent, the woman who married the Black Prince, son of Edward III. Joan was rumored to be very beautiful and also very brave as she defied a king to marry whom she wanted. This book has received solid early reviews (it was published earlier this month), and it discusses a period in history often overlooked by most writers, so I'm anxious to dive in. At nearly 500 pages, it is a good choice to cover the distance.
Are you headed on vacation this summer? If so, what books will you be taking along?

Health: (noun) 1. the state of being free from illness or injury, 2. a person's mental or physical condition, 3. used to express friendly feelings toward one's companions before drinkingWebster's Dictionary
Yes! All of that. Health, being healthy, living a healthy lifestyle, and celebrating the health of others is an important aspect to achieving balance in our lives. I know it's not easy. Like many women, I have challenges in this area.
My favorite sport is running. I've participated in many 5Ks but decided to run a full marathon in 2011. What an amazing feeling although, around mile 20, it was a true test of my mental will. I kicked it in for the final 2 miles to finish in about 6 hours. Yes, 6 hours! One day, I do hope to improve that time.
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2012. I took control of my health with a new routine which included hot yoga, running, and clean eating. I really saw and felt an improvement in physical and mental health. I finally had my energy back!
I was inspired to train for a bikini competition. I learned so much about weight training and diet. Though it was an amazing process of transformation, I didn't accomplish the goal of competing on stage.
At the end of 2013, I had an irregular pap smear that resulted in low grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). I had a Loop Electrosurgical Excision (LEEP) procedure which carved away those cells along with a piece of my cervix. I remember feeling unsure about that experience. What followed was a withdraw from a lot of my physical activities and a move into my career and community.
Although my doctor did say, I'd likely not become pregnant after the LEEP, I got pregnant in early 2015. Having a baby at 39 years old was a completely different experience in comparison to my younger 20-something age. After four children, I should have had natural birthing figured out but instead Titus was born C-section. That unexpected experience had an impact on my recovery.
I challenge myself daily to get back to the state of health I had been only a few short years ago. Since I've focused on my career and education this takes time away from the physical activity I was doing before. I continue to strive to find my balance. I hope my stories inspire you to continue to strive for a healthier life!

Woodbury Homes of Grain Valley, Mo., has pleaded guilty to a criminal charge of providing a false document to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency at EPA's Region 7 headquarters in Kansas City, Kan.
The document, which the defendant provided to EPA during an EPA enforcement investigation, falsely stated that Woodbury had applied for a storm water permit for residential development work in Grain Valley.
EPA and the defendant have agreed to recommend that the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas impose a $15,000 fine and a $125 special assessment. Maximum penalties the court can impose are one year in prison, five years probation, a $200,000 fine and a $125 special assessment.
Principal owner of the company is David Ward, of Grain Valley, who is also the principal owner of Ward Development & Investment Co. of Grain Valley. Ward paid a $95,000 civil penalty last year for five federal Clean Water Act violations by Ward Development at the same work site. The false statement that a storm water permit application had been submitted was made by Woodbury Homes in an effort to reduce the Ward Development penalty.
Art Spratlin, EPA Region 7 director of the Water, Wetlands and Pesticides Division, praised Region 7 inspectors for their work in identifying the Clean Water Act violations and the regional attorney's office for discovering the false statements.
"The public must be able to rely on the accuracy of environmental reports that companies are required to give EPA," Spratlin said. "When such reports are intentionally falsified, EPA will not hesitate to vigorously pursue criminal prosecution."
A storm water discharge permit is required at construction sites because storm water runoff from these sites contains harmful pollutants that can be carried into lakes and streams. The civil violations by Ward Development included failing to install and maintain best management practices, failing to perform and document site inspections, discharging without a permit, and failing to develop an adequate storm-water pollution prevention plan.

Giang-Chau Ngo has been awarded the Nadine Barrie Smith Memorial Fellowship for fall 2013. She will be conducting her research with Brad Sutton, and focusing her efforts on the advancement of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
Her current work aims to understand the impact of field inhomogeneity on MRI image acquisition and developing a correction method. She plans to work on the design of a pulse sequence fMRI acquisition that will not be sensitive to susceptibility differences in the brain.
"This will provide a uniform way to address artifacts across subjects and fMRI studies and create a more robust and sensitive brain imaging technique to move toward the grand challenge of understanding how the brain works," Ngo said.
Ngo has been attending the University of Illinois, pursuing a Ph.D. in bioengineering. She received a master's in engineering science as Ecole Centrale de Lille in France and a master's in medical diagnostics at Cranfield University in the United Kingdom.
"My desire to work as an engineer in the medical field magnified as I progressed through my studies. Beckman proposes numerous exciting research projects in the field of medical imaging. My first semester allowed me to explore these projects and ultimately I decide to work on MRI. I am honored to be involved in Dr. Sutton's lab."
The Nadine Barrie Smith Memorial Fellowships awards female engineering graduate students who are conducting research in the general field of medical imaging at the Beckman Institute. Ngo recognizes the significance of working in a scientific field.
"My family and environment have always supported my career choice. I am both blessed and grateful to have their support, but I am aware that not every woman is so lucky," Ngo said. "By becoming a successful woman in a scientific field, I wish to inspire and encourage women everywhere to pursue their studies and dreams, especially in science, and help them achieve their goals. For these reasons, I am incredibly honored to be awarded this fellowship and I am determined to pursue my goal with great passion."
The fellowship is awarded in honor of Nadine Barrie Smith's life and achievements by her husband, Andrew Webb. She graduated with a bachelor of science in computer science from the U of I in 1985, and went on to become an internationally renowned researcher in the field of therapeutic ultrasound and noninvasive drug delivery. She also was a tireless supporter of promoting the role of women in engineering and science and established many educational programs to this end.

RSPO Lead Auditor training as part of wider oil palm work in Guatemala
As part of our on-going capacity building programme, Proforest is running a Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Lead Auditor training course from 1 to 5 September 2014 in Guatemala. This 5-day course is designed for auditors who plan to carry out assessments against the RSPO producer standard. It is also appropriate for company staff who are responsible for meeting RSPO requirements, and other stakeholders, such as NGOs and government officials who want to learn about RSPO standards and systems. The course includes lectures, workshops, a practical audit exercise and a written examination.
Successful completion of the course is one requirement to be able to lead RSPO audits.
For further information about the RSPO Lead Auditor course please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
The context
As global demand for palm oil continues to grow, there is pressure to increase palm oil production across Central America. While oil palm cultivation can bring economic benefits to underdeveloped regions, there are concerns about the potential environmental and social costs.
Certification schemes such as RSPO can play a key role in promoting and supporting sustainable palm oil production. However, practical knowledge of RSPO requirements is limited among producers and other stakeholders.
Our work in Guatemala is part of the Guatemalan Sustainable Palm Oil Value Chain Project, which is funded by Solidaridad with the participation of the nine leading Guatemalan palm oil companies, GREPALMA, WWF and Proforest. The project aims to address this knowledge gap and build capacity to implement the international RSPO Principles and Criteria (P&C) in Guatemala. Through the project, we are providing a series of workshops and training courses, supporting companies to work towards achieving RSPO certification, and facilitating a RSPO national interpretation process.
Supporting companies
We are working closely with a number of companies in Guatemala to prepare them for RSPO certification. By helping companies understand and implement the social and labour standards that are part of the RSPO P&C, we aim to improve the living standards of producer families, workers and processors. The implementation of the environmental criteria and conservation requirements will help minimise negative impacts on the environment and communities.
National Interpretation of the RSPO P&C
Proforest is also facilitating the development of a National Interpretation of the RSPO P&C. This process is following the small producer country national interpretation model. A multi-stakeholder Technical Committee has been set up for this purpose. The draft National Interpretation is due to enter a 60-day public consultation period, starting in August 2014. The National Interpretation will facilitate implementation of the RSPO standard and raise awareness of sustainable palm oil in Guatemala. Information on the public consultation for the Guatemalan RSPO National Interpretation will be available on the Proforest website from mid-August.

Making use of discarded leather offcuts, Oslo-based designer Inger Steinnes layers assorted leather edges to create a comfortable, aesthetically pleasing seat.
"In the Norwegian leather industry, tons of hides are discarded every year because of small imperfections on the skins surface, such as insects bites, warts, scratches and wrinkles." says Steinnes. "To the untrained eye, the material is just as useful and beautiful as any other leather you find on the market, but because of high quality demands from customers, the manufacturer can't sell the leather. "
"The fact that the hide offcuts aren't sorted before they are chucked in the container has been turned to a positive factor in the project. The technique combines hides with different thickness, softness, flexibility and even color, which enriches the texture and tactility instead of being a downside. "
The result is a warm and soft surface, a comfortable seat, which is also non slip and sound absorbing. "waste=value " as Steinnes says.

My First Mother's Day
As Mother Day approaches I can't help but think of my first Mother's Day as a new Mother. Daniel had just been born two days before. The perfect Mother's Day gift! But nine months before that, I never dreamed I'd be holding my own child in my arms that day.
It was the summer of 1986, and Richard and I were visiting my hometown of Los Angeles at my Aunt Bette's home. I adored my Aunt Bette and was looking forward to our visit. One night I was sitting on the dryer, chatting with her while she did laundry. I sorted through my stuff and prepared little piles to take to our room. I had a pile for "unmentionables." I was currently braless, so I put one on, but it didn't fit. It was way too tight. I asked Aunt Bette if there was a chance it was her bra, but she said it wasn't. Huh? "I must be gaining weight on this vacation already," I thought.
A few days prior to that, Richard and I had been getting frisky, when I suddenly got terribly ill. I chalked it up to a change in the altitude. Thinking nothing of it, we decided to take a trip to the UCLA Child Amputee Program, or CAP for short, to see if any of my doctors remained at the facility. My Mom and Dad were visiting California as well, so we all went. I grew very close to the faculty at CAP during the seven years I was treated there. Although I was not going to see my favorite Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Cameron Hall. We had learned he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after discovering he had kidney cancer. I'll never know if he believed he didn't have the same courage his patients had, or if the disease was too advanced? He was such a fine doctor and man.
At CAP, I visited with Dr. Yoshio Setoguchi, one of my orthopedic pediatricians. After visiting for a few minutes, he brought out a foot-high folder of papers and plopped it on the table in front of me and commanded me to "Write!" It was my medical records for the 7 years I had been treated at UCLA. Fascinated, I grabbed a chunk of the papers and turned them over. And laying on the top was a copy of a meeting my mother's obstetrician had with a psychologist after my birth. He talked about how the "overall wish of the Obstetrics Team is that the child die," and went on to say that "if the child lives, the living hell she will put her parents through far outweighs the temporary sadness they will feel if she dies now." My mom started to cry. I was just numb. How could this man say those things about a helpless newborn? And that newborn was me!
I remembered Mom telling me how the doctors kept her sedated for four days after I was born. Now I knew why. They didn't want her bonding with me. Four days not holding her newborn baby! Four days that I could not be with my Mother! It must have been torture for both of us. I wondered if this doctor was still practicing obstetrics? I wanted to meet him.
Dr. Setoguchi made some calls to see if the obstetrician was still practicing. And he was. He escorted me to his offices, with a bit of pride himself, I think. It was his work that got me up walking! I was so scared!
I walked into his office and introduced myself as a child he delivered back in 1961. I briefly described the disabilities I have, but he cut me off and said, "I remember you. I never thought I'd see you walk in here," with an emphasis on the word "walk." There were so many things I could say to respond to that! But all I could think of was "This man wanted me to die!" I didn't have the courage to confront him about the psychologist's meeting report in my medical record. Currently, I use a wheelchair. But back then I was walking on two artificial legs and I'm proud he got to see that! The last time he had seen me I was a twisted pile of flesh, with things missing and nearly everything below my neck in the wrong place. Both inside and out. There had been a question if I was going to move independently? If I would be able to sit up independently? If I had brain damage? If I would live at all?
I was left speechless to his comment. All I could come up with was "Thank you for helping to bring me into the world," and I turned around and walked out. I wish now that I'd had a clever quip or something. But maybe that was enough.
The rest of the vacation, my breasts were getting really tender. I started to wonder… My period is never very normal. But I was told the chances of becoming pregnant are pretty slim. My uterus is not where its supposed to be. And the numerous x-rays, particularly spinal x-rays, could very possibly have sterilized me. I was with a steady boyfriend for two years, using no protection, and nothing happened then. I was on the pill years before, but the side effects were horrible. That's when they told me I probably didn't have to worry about it. I know! All very naive of me! But I believe them! Maybe I shouldn't have…
On the way home I told Richard I thought I might be pregnant. He wasn't too thrilled. He had already had three children by other women. One was given up for adoption when he was younger. The other two his ex-wife was raising.
I made an appointment to see my doctor right away. As we were waiting for the test results, the nurse asked me "Do you want it to be 'yes' or 'no'?" And I thought about that. I had come to accept the fact that I couldn't have children. So my life centered on other things. Now I had to think, "Do I want to be a mother?" "CAN I be a mother?" When I was younger, I used to play "House" and pretended my dolls were my children. I even pretended my dog was my child. I had mothering instincts. What would it be like to have a child of my very own? Of my own flesh and blood? To love and protect? To teach and add to the circle of life? I knew the answer! "YES!" I said, "I want the answer to be 'Yes'!" I wanted a baby!
And I was pregnant!
I was very close to my primary care doctor, Martha Illige-Saucier, MD, but we needed the assistance of a high-risk obstetrician too. We enlisted the help of Richard Porreco, MD from Presbyterian St. Luke's Hospital and I developed a trust in him and grew to like him as well. I decided for my normal pregnancy care I would see Doc Martha, with frequent follow-up visits with Dr. Porreco.
Right away things started to get scary. I had "Morning Sickness" morning, noon, and night throughout my entire pregnancy. I could not keep anything down! Nothing but ice cream and soda. Doc Martha said to try blending dinner to the consistency of ice cream. But let me tell you: meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans do not make an appetizing ice cream! I was in the hospital ten times during my pregnancy with dehydration.
Then one night I was watching TV when I started to get a stomach cramp and a bad backache. And my stomach was as hard as a rock! Doc Martha told me I could call her any time! It was only around 8:00 pm, but I felt bad interrupting her "home time." The cramp continued to get worse and I had to interrupt her! She told me to meet her in the ER. I was only four months along and I was in labor!
I was treated and given a prescription for Terbutaline. It was recommended that I be on bedrest, but Richard was out of work. Someone had to pay the bills. The Terbutaline worked somewhat, but as my pregnancy progressed, so did the labor pains. I was working as a Secretary/Word Processor for an engineering firm and was having contractions every 20 minutes.
As I increased in size things began to get difficult for me to do independently. I could no longer wear my prostheses because of body changes. I was now using a wheelchair fulltime. At an appointment with Dr. Porreco, he asked me who helped me out of the car, I told him "No one. I can do it myself." He asked if I lived in a wheelchair accessible place, and I had to think about it, "No. There are stairs leading to my apartment. Why?" He then asked me who helps get my wheelchair up and down the stairs, and I told him that I did that myself too. Next thing I know we're taking a tour of the NICU where there are nothing but babies hanging on to life by a thread. Dr. Porreco stared at me and asked, "Do you want your baby here? It will be if you can't let go of your pride and ask for help instead of doing everything yourself. Think of that little guy in there [pointing to my stomach] and be his hero." So began a life-long lesson of learning to ask for help.
An echocardiogram revealed things there was not much room in there. Things were getting a bit tight. In fact, it was found at delivery that my uterus is on its side and my abdominal muscles are not where they're expected to be (they thru cut one). So with my scoliosis and malformed hip, Dr. Porreco recommended a cesarean section. He said if I wanted a natural delivery the baby would have to be no more than a pound, and I would need to send him a map with directions to navigate my pelvis to find his way out!
The last few months went by slowly. In my 38th week, I had an amniocentesis to see if Daniel's lungs were fully developed (we already knew the sex and we'd already named him!). Then I sat by the phone and waited for the results. If he was fully developed, we would schedule his delivery! And the phone rang…!
He's ready to meet the world!!! We set the cesarean section for the next day, Friday, May 8, 1987, at 3:00 pm. Two days before Mother's Day.
I hardly slept that night. I was so nervous and excited. I was finally going to meet Daniel Edwin Traylor. That's what we named him. I could already see him in my mind's eye. Even hear his laugh. Plus I'd seen ultrasound images. But what was he going to be like? Right now all I knew about him was he liked to kick me in the ribs.
We arrived at the hospital and got me prepared for delivery. The Anesthesiologist came to discuss options for delivery with me. But as he examined my spine it became evident that the only option was going to be general anesthesia. There was no way to get an epidural block in my spine. I was going to go to sleep, wake up, and be a mother!
The day was long as I waited for 3:00 PM to come around. They finally came to wheel me down the hall. Remember that nausea I said I had? It reared its ugly head on the way to Delivery. I warned them. So they gave me some nasty liquid to drink, which only made matters worse. I cautioned them, I was not going to make it to Delivery! In their ignorance, they assured me the medicine they gave me would not allow me to vomit. And just after they said this, well… that's just what I did! I think my stomach was made before that medicine was, because it didn't know about the restriction.
We got to the Operating Room finally. Dr. Porreco stood over me with the scalpel in hand so that he could make the incision before the anesthesia reached Daniel. Precious seconds to spare. And it was "Lights Out" for me.
And I woke up! Anxious to meet my "Miracle Son"! But something was wrong. They were telling me they had to give me some medication to make me "relax." "They're knocking me out!!! Something is wrong with my boy!" They tried to assure me everything was okay and it was because my blood pressure was too high. But I knew better. I knew how "they" work. I remembered what they did to my Mother and me. I fought the sedation, insisting to see my son. But I lost the fight. Later, Richard came in to tell me everything was perfect with our new baby. But I couldn't wait to see for myself.
When they finally brought Daniel to me I was still somewhat sedated and had to cover one eye with my hand because I was seeing double. And I wanted to see every detail of this marvelous little boy. He had the biggest eyes. They already seemed to see into your soul. And he smiled almost immediately. Examining him, we found that one of his big toes was crushed. Probably from kicking me in the ribs!
We wouldn't learn until much later that Daniel also was nearly 100% deaf in both ears, requiring surgery later. And his hip and pelvis are rotated 30 degrees back. You wouldn't know it to see him dance now! But when I place my hand on his knees, which do not track with the rest of his body, I'm holding a bag of potato chips. Bones just crunch in there. Doctors said he'd need artificial knees by age 25, but he's 31 and still dancing on his nature's knees.
I am proud this body was able to produce a child (with Richard's help of course!). I am proud I carried my pregnancy full-term. I am proud I learned to ask for help. But most of all I am proud to be called Daniel's Mother.
Don't forget to check out my jewelry HERE!
In honor of this special day, I created a bracelet I've named "Darla's Dream" after my late Mother. It's gorgeous blue and violet lampwork beads with glowing genuine aquamarine gemstone beads. The bracelet concludes with a silver toggle clasp and is 7.75″ long. This is the perfect gift for Mom this year.

HP refers to the dv9655ea as a Media Centre and it's easy to see why, the large screen, TV tuner, webcam and addition of digital ports makes it ideal for watching movies and TV programs or simply recording them and sending them to external sources.
However, when we think of media centres, we tend to consider the high-end and expensive offerings from the likes of Toshiba and Sony. The first thing you'll realise about this notebook is the price, at £799 (inc. VAT), you still get the benefits of media centre but you won't be paying a premium for them.
So, you'll find Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, which comes with media centre software and DVB-T TV tuner and remote control come as standard. With two 160GB hard drives you can record plenty of Freeview TV.
The 17-inch screen is large and bright and comes with a Super-TFT coating so whether you're just watching a movie or editing photos, the colours look true. It does mean the machine is heavier than most, so this 3.8kg notebook isn't something you'll want to take on the road, so the battery life of a little under 2 hours shouldn't be a concern.
The Screen is supported by the Nvidia GeForce Go 8400M GS card, which for a high-end media centre we would consider a little under-powered but for a machine at this price, it makes perfect sense. It isn't a DX10 part but it'll run most games, though you will need to turn the frame rate of the latest games down so they'll run jag free.
The design fits in with HP's current Pavilion look, with a swirl design on the black lacquer lid and a silver finish to the inside. It feels impressively sturdy and the addition of Altec Lansing speakers means the sound quality isn't too bad either.
The keyboard is full size, which is one of the benefits of opting for a larger machine, and there is also space for a numeric keypad on the right. The keyboard proved reliable with plenty of bounce to the keys and the touchpad and mouse buttons were responsive.
The AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 is a dual-core chip and the use of 2048MB if memory means you can run a number of tasks as the same time without seeing a system slow down. However, our one problem with this machine was in the processing power, it simply couldn't handle as much high-end processing as a more expensive machine could.
There are a nice array of extras, including a lightscribe DVD rewriter for recording labels straight to disc, and a HDMI-out port for sending licensed digital media to an external source, such as a plasma TV.
If you're on a budget and looking for a media centre for watching and recording media, the HP Pavilion dv9655ea is a great compromise. The screen is god, the storage excellent and the right features all in place.
However, if you're looking to edit video and generally run high-end tasks, you'll find it frustrating as we simply didn't find it powerful enough.

text:
The way it is used in mainstream political discourse, it holds no substantive meaning. "Communism" as used since the 1950s to describe various countries around the world (from Nicaragua to Cuba to to Vietnam) is just a term referring to polities that the US business state does not perceives as refusing to integrate in the US-dominated world economic system. Eisenhower used to be quite frank about this (we need their tungsten, etc.).
It might be claimed that a state is "communist" when its economy is partly nationalized (under control of state planning). However, the criterion of nationalized industry does not correlate at all in actual political discourse with the label "communism." Chile, considered a leader of the free-market world–since the US helped take it over from the Allende govt and restructured its economy–has had the central parts of its economy nationalized for decades (i.e., the copper industry). Many nationalist leaders, from Ho Chi Minh to the early anti-Baptista Castro to Nicaraguan and Guatemalan peasants and Indians were blanket labelled "communists," even when they had no further aspirations than the democratic sovereignty of their country.
Returning to the notion of market economy vs. state-planned economy, the US, it turns out, has substantial sectors of its economy managed by the state, from the Pentagon's entire budget to the industry targets, tariffs and subsidies, R&D, bank bailouts, international trade agreements, and so on. If you've used computers, radios, enjoyed the photos of Neil Armstrong planting a flag on the moon, used the internet, or flown in an airplane, you've appreciated the fruits of state-directed enterprise within the US state-capitalist system. These were not products of the market; they came out of the state sector, which had developed them over decades, and were then handed over to the market for commodity refinement–but only after the state had produced the basic technology and produced a profitable commodity.
Chomsky drives the point home succinctly in this video:

Page 1: Biography
Anaru, Karauria Tiweka
Te Whanau-a-Apanui; interpreter, law clerk, local politician, community leader
This biography, written by Sidney Takimoana Anaru, was first published in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography in 2000.
Karauria Tiweka Anaru (known as Claude) was born on 2 June 1901 at Raukokore in the eastern Bay of Plenty. He was one of nine children of Tiweka Anaru, a farmer, and his wife, Paretio Heremia, both of Te Whanau-a-Apanui. During his early childhood he gained a deep understanding of Maori culture, language and whakapapa. He attended Raukokore Native School and progressed well; teachers recognised his potential and from 1916 to 1919 he went to Te Aute College, where his father had also been a student.
In 1920 Claude Anaru took up a position as interpreter and law clerk with the legal firm Hampson and Davys in Rotorua. Much of the work related to the sale of Maori timber-cutting rights to sawmillers, requiring an intimate knowledge of Maori land ownership and associated legal procedures. In negotiating agreements Anaru displayed an honesty and integrity that was appreciated by seller and purchaser alike.
On 8 January 1924, at Ohinemutu, Anaru married Hanahira Riripotaka of Te Arawa. Officiating ministers were Paora Temuera and F. A. Bennett. The couple were to have six children. Hanahira had qualified as a registered nurse at Napier Hospital. She played a prominent part in the Waiariki branch of the Maori Women's Welfare League, was organist at St Faith's Church and was a justice of the peace.
Claude Anaru remained with Hampson and Davys until 1944, when he joined the Native Department (later Department of Maori Affairs), working as a legal clerk. In 1951 he was appointed secretary to the Te Arawa Maori Trust Board, and helped the board through the difficult period of rapid expansion. In association with Rei Vercoe and Norman Perry, he set up district councils of tribal executives and played a major role in organising the 1954 Maori reception at Arawa Park, Rotorua, for the visit of Queen Elizabeth II and the duke of Edinburgh. Naturally courteous, his service with the Maori Affairs Department and his legal training enabled him to conduct the board's affairs in a manner that brought a great deal of mana to the office. In 1966 poor health forced his retirement.
Keenly interested in politics, Claude Anaru was secretary of the Eastern Maori electorate committee of the New Zealand National Party. He represented Maori on the Dominion Maori Advisory Council and in 1954 unsuccessfully contested the Eastern Maori seat as National Party candidate. During 1962 he was a member of the Board of Maori Affairs.
His services to the community were many and varied. Like his parents, Claude Anaru was a staunch Anglican, and for more than 30 years he was a vestryman of St Faith's Church, Ohinemutu. He was a Rotorua borough councillor from 1947 to 1956 and deputy mayor. Appointed justice of the peace in 1947, he became president and first life member of the Rotorua and District Justices of the Peace Association. He was a member of the Rotorua High School Board of Governors for about 15 years. Other interests included the St John Ambulance Association, Rotary, and numerous local welfare, music and sporting organisations. An able sportsman, he played representative rugby for Rotorua and enjoyed deer stalking, duck shooting and pig hunting in his spare time.
For his services to local bodies and the Maori people Claude Anaru received the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal in 1953 and was made an OBE in 1957. He died at Rotorua on 30 October 1977, survived by Hanahira and his six children; Hanahira died in 1993. Both tangihanga were held at Tunohopu marae, Ohinemutu, and the couple rest side by side in the family plot at Kauae cemetery, overlooking Lake Rotorua.

Kid Again
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
I think I have totally forgotten how it feels like to be a kid again. You know, playing barbie dolls, chinese garter, and arcades. My aunt told me that I grew up too fast and became mature in just a snap of her fingers. She even said, gone is the little girl she once held hands with, while strolling in Greenhills, shopping for dolls and kitchen-play items and wearing floral dresses. Well, should I blame Nicholas Sparks and Paulo Coelho for making me mature too early?
But of course there are times when I try my best to digress from my own maturity. I watch cartoons, read comics and chic lits, and browse teen magazines. Although I find them crappy all too often, it feels good to be laughing at silly reading materials and tv shows.
Last Saturday I had the chance to be a kid again. My niece and nephew arrived from Kuwait and I met up with them in MOA. I thought there's no better place to spend time with them, than in Timezone. And yes, as expected, they had the time of their lives, and so did I. Boy I can still feel the swelling numbing pain in my right arm after playing that throw-ball thing for eight times (my niece counted that precisely). I took 3 Alaxan tabs, but to no avail. And as my niece said, "No pain, no gain Tita! We have to get our mission cleared and not fail again!" Awww, she's growing up too fast too.
Anyhow, I'll segue to my accomplishments this week.
June 20
I picked up my claim stub for my authenticated documents in DLSU and ran to Manila Doctors after for the check up.
June 21
Special thanks to my co-writer in Eat Bulaga, Diane, for assisting me in DFA. She's working there and I was able to claim my DFA-authenticated documents smoothly, and fuss-free. I went straight to Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office to have them verified. I slept the entire day because of exhaustion. By Thursday, I have to get my Medical Exam results. I am hoping everything will be okay :))
Tomorrow's mid week again, have a good week everyone!

About LA PERLA
The collaboration between Fazzini, a leading home textiles company, and La Perla has produced the new La Perla Home collection , our contemporary luxury home linen range. La Perla and Fazzini both share a dedication to the excellence of the Made in Italy tradition which has informed the development of an exclusive collection that includes bed linen, blankets, throws and towels made from the finest fabrics.

Fazzini was founded in 1976, although all the families involved in this industrial adventure have lived and breathed textiles for generations, since the early 20th century. Maria Alberta Zibetti, the wife of the company's founder Stefano Fazzini, inspired the styling and design of the contemporary, on-trend home textile collections, thanks once again to her family background in the fine art of embroidery.

First Father's DayMonday, June 20, 2016
We celebrated Zach's first (non fur-daddy) Father's Day yesterday! He has been wanting a grill for a while now, and I finallyyyyy gave in. Can't say I regret the purchase either- best dinner we've had in a while. Even better- I didn't have to do a SINGLE thing. We should've bought a grill months ago! The girls definitely aren't complaining- they get more time outside while Zach grills. Just look at those smiling faces below :)

Time for Scouts to reject discrimination
Scouting, above all, is about our children. It is about learning teamwork, camaraderie and self-worth. Scouting transcends the Norman Rockwell image of mastering camping skills and helping elderly people safely cross a street. Scouting teaches the importance of respect for one's self, for one's family and for one's community.
But when it comes to the matter of discrimination, Scouting falls short.
We are dismayed and appalled by the blatant discrimination displayed by the leadership of Troop 212 in Moraga, who have denied an openly gay Scout his Eagle rank, and by the leadership of the Mount Diablo Silverado Council, who revoked the Scout's membership altogether. Citing official policy, the council stated:
"Recently, a Scout proactively notified his unit leadership and Eagle Scout counselor that he does not agree to Scouting's principle of 'duty to God,' and does not meet Scouting's membership standard on sexual orientation ... he is being informed that he is no longer eligible for membership in Scouting."
Discrimination is the very antithesis of the values we seek to teach through Scouting. Scouting, and the many positive values it nurtures that aren't learned in school, should be open to all regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation. We know that in diversity lies our strength. We reject the discrimination displayed by the Mt. Diablo Silverado Council and the national Scouting organization.
We call upon the Boy Scouts of America to reinstate Ryan Andresen's membership, grant him his Eagle rank and to embrace our nation's deep-rooted diversity. And in doing so, fulfill Ryan's dream and restore the self- respect of many Scouts who are now questioning their involvement with your organization.
We call upon each and every Cub Scout pack and every Boy Scout troop, post and council to resist becoming the unwilling tools of a policy rooted in the previous century and, rather, to join us in the new millennium.
Allen Bush, Eric Bloom and Fred Taleghani are the parents of boys in Cub Scouts in Palo Alto.

Exciting Experience On Safari
Each morning brings a new experience delivered by nature's magic. Leaving HillsNek Safari Camp in a open game-viewing vehicle you will traverse over 18 000 acres weaving through 5 of the country's 7 biomes.
The abundant wilderness of Amakhala Game Reserve preserves a complex and diverse ecosystem, providing habitat for over 60 mammal species. The Bushman's River winds its way through the reserve providing its life source of water to the myriad of wildlife and birdlife.
The dramatic and ever changing topography of Amakhala Game Reserve is host to an abundant tapestry of sights and sounds keeping one fixated on what one may see around the next turn of the land-rover track.
The majestic lion, herds of elephant, buffalo and giraffe, cheetah and endangered white and black rhino make up the big game component. Amakhala Game Reserve is also home to substantial herds of plains game species including zebra, black wildebeest, red hartebeest, oryx and eland to name but a few.
A recorded bird list of over 250 species on the reserve allows for great land based birding and further birding can be enjoyed whilst cruising along the Bushmans River.
As you reflect on the days sightings under a setting sun, the nocturnal species begin their foraging, from the secretive aardvark to the endangered brown hyena. The rangers spot-light scanning the closing night might highlight these lesser seen yet very interesting mammals as you make your way back to the lodge.
So ends a day at HillsNek Safari Camp…and tomorrow's safari dawns with new sights and encounters.
Activities Include:
- Personalized game drives in an open game-viewing vehicle
- Birding
- Stargazing
- River cruise by boat
- Guided Bush Walks outside the Big 5 area
- Optional visit to the Amakhala Art & Craft Centre
- Optional visit to Shamwari's Born Free Foundation
- Pure uninterrupted relaxation in the privacy of the lodge

In a small rural village, there was a large old brick house which had been home to a large family with seven children since 1918. Over the years the children grew up and left the nest leaving behind not just the treasured memories but all the "stuff" that accumulates over time in any home. One of the seven children, an aging sister who never married bought the house and continued to live in it. Her extended family members tried to convince her to sell the house and move to a senior's retirement community. She had always managed on her own and still felt she was capable of managing and was for the most part she was successful. She accomplished much of this by closing off large portions of the house and living in it as though it were a much smaller more manageable apartment.
Unfortunately she fell and after a lengthy stay in a hospital where they discovered serious heart problems, she was transferred to a nursing home. Three of her nieces and nephews were left to deal with the situation. This entailed convincing her to sell the home, cleaning out the memories, dispersing the contents and dealing with the real estate agents, insurance brokers, lawyers and family members. These tasks stretched out over several years and there were always dissenters who thought it was too slow, too fast or not the way I would have done it. They were left to shoulder the emotional toll that it takes on the family left to dealing with mess left behind. We understand the sadness and burdens families that are left to "clean up" have to deal with as we are those nieces and nephews.
At 4Life's Transitions we have lived through your situation and have firsthand knowledge of the requirements, pitfalls and solutions. 4Life's Transitions will oversee and coordinate every detail for you or your loved one to complete the transition on your behalf. We will stay in contact with you and insure that all decisions are approved before we proceed. The 4Life's Transitions consultation team will complete the entire transition with compassion and a complete understanding of each situation.

WBEZ Blogs
Full disclosure: I have never been sexy for Halloween. One year in college I bought a pair of black wings and some sort of headband and convinced myself for a moment that I would be a "cute bat." But that little voice in my head reminded me, "You know what rhymes with 'bat'? 'Fat.' Everyone will think of you as the fat bat." Immediately that sapped whatever shred of confidence I needed to pull off any type of sexy costume then — or ever.
This was back in the late '90s/early aughts, when sexy Halloween costumes were relegated to about three things: a schoolgirl, an angel or a cat. It was sort of nice, actually. If you were purposefully sexy, you pretty much decided that you weren't going to be clever. And if you were a sexy nurse, there was a good chance you'd be competing with a lot of other sexy nurses. It's sort of like guy costumes; you could be "edgy" by either dressing as a priest or a buxom woman, but it meant you were pretty much wearing a sign that said, "I am not original."
Man have things changed. Since then a whole industry has boomed around a variety of sexy costumes. If you want to look slutty on Halloween, no longer are you relegated to the same old three costumes. Now, apparently, you can be a sexy-practically-anything, including:
Sexy Bert or Ernie
Sexy hamburger
Sexy corn
Sexy Marvin the Martian
Sexy Mrs. Potato Head
Sexy Kermit the Frog
Sexy lime
(Have you noticed that most of these costumes aren't actually costumes but just slutty outfits with the face of the costume concept pasted onto the dress? Does that even count as a costume?)
My theory is that we've gone beyond costumery at this point and are just witnessing Halloween jokes. After all, the "sexy mental patient" was parodied in this video — but is actually available. This is now just a real-life meme, designed to see what inappropriate objects or characters can be co-opted into sex. I mean, the sexy honey badger is, literally, a meme turned into a costume. I can guarantee you that there are going to be some Mitt Romney's binders full of women walking around this Halloween, and then we're going to have. . . sexy binders full of women? How will that work? ("Duh, a binder with boobs on it, Claire.")
But the point of being sexy and slutty on Halloween is to be sexy, right? To make people want to have sex with you while wearing a costume? I know people's standards are seriously altered when alcohol is involved, but other than Ernie, who would ever be turned on by sexy Bert? The definition of "sexy" is being stretched too far. Next year we'll probably start seeing things like a sexy Mr. Peanut, a sexy STD Test or a sexy turd. Maybe in two years we'll see girls dressed as sexy penises, just to see how far they can push the limits of desperate heterosexual men.
Meanwhile, I'm worried that women will start thinking these horrifically unsexy/sexy outfits are actually funny and will start wearing them as jokes, which really sort of ruins the whole joke experience for those of us who like actual jokes that are more about humor and less "weird things with boobs incorporated into them." Soon we won't be able to tell what's really sexy and what's supposed to be a joke and before you know it everyone's going to be walking around naked every Halloween laughing about how clever and sexy everyone is. Where will that leave those of us who don't go for the sexy costumes? Being left alone and eating all the candy, that's where.
Actually, that doesn't sound so bad. Carry on, you slutty weirdos. Carry on.

A Country a Week for a Year
Here's a video project that is more ambitious than what many of us will do this year. Maggie Padlewska will go around the world, visiting a different country each week for a year. This 52-country trek will not go to touristy stops but is more sociological. She will explore the lives of people who "lack the resources to share them with the world."
I wish her the best of luck.

Bentley Flooring's chairman, Sally Bentley, (shown above with her two sons, Steven and Nick) was recently honored by the Societies of Oklahoma City University during their annual Awards of Excellence for the most dedicated servant leaders of Oklahoma City. Bentley received the Dulaney-Browne Library Society Award for her passion for educating and improving the lives of children.
Sally Bentley's passion for giving children the opportunity and tools to improve their lives was evident early in her life when she chose to major in Education at the University of Oklahoma. After graduation, she taught school in Lincoln Elementary School in Norman, further cementing this desire.
However, her gifts found their full expression in community service, where she learned to make the biggest difference in the lives of others by "Working with a group for a common purpose," Bentley said. Her first foray into her community service career was in l974 when she joined the Junior League. She volunteerd at the Remarkable Shop and served on the Forster Care and Adoption taskforce. She later became involved in Blinn House, a rehabilitation home for adolescents, and served on the Infant Center Project with the Department of Family Medicine at OU. There she helped teach parenting skills and expanded services for infants. Her outstanding contributions in the Junior League landed her the Presidency from l987-88.
When recognized for her efforts, Sally simply says she is fortunate to be able to volunteer her time. "A lot of people aren't able to do so," she added. Her credits include Board President of the Harding Fine Arts Academy Charter School, the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy, Oklahoma Public Schools Foundation, Payne Education Center, the SPARK Program of Westminster Presbyterian Church, Youth Services of Oklahoma County, Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education at OU and Visionary Women of Oklahoma.
She received the Distinguished Leadership Award from the National Association of Community Leadership, Paragon Award for Distinguished Service, Youth Services Stars Award and the Junior League Sustainer of the Year Award. Her Delta Gamma sorority nominated her for Panhellenic Women of the Year.
When Sally's husband, Steve, passed away unexpectedly in Nov. 2011, suddenly Sally become the owner of Bentley Flooring. Joined by her two sons, Steven and Nick, who are CEO and COO, respectively, Sally serves as Chairman of the Board. When asked how it felt to suddenly be thrown into the business world as owner of a company, said, "In many ways, it's a blessing." She gets to use the skills she learn volunteering: Negotiating, team building, brainstorming, conflict resolution, and (of course) leadership. She is most grateful for the opportunity to work with Steven and Nick and watch them grow into their new roles. She has also been able to contribute her institutional memory and second-hand insights into the company that she gained from her husband. She also enjoys getting to work with her sister-in-law, Barbara Phillben.
Although it was rough the first year after Steve's death, today Sally sums up her experience by saying, "It's forced me to continue to grow and to meet and overcome the challenges of a family business. All in all, it's been very worthwhile...even really great!"

After losses in two of its last three games, No. 8 Ohio State isn't exactly rolling into the Big Ten women's tournament.
After losses in two of its last three games, No. 8 Ohio State isn't exactly rolling into the Big Ten women's tournament.
Buckeyes coach Jim Foster said he's looking for a fresh start in Indianapolis. His second-seeded team will play Friday morning against either Michigan or Illinois.
"We'll fix what we can fix and get ready to play," Foster said after a 71-57 loss to 23rd-ranked Nebraska on Sunday. "I'm not going to say it's trouble. I'm going to say it's youth, and we're fighting through it."
The Buckeyes (24-5, 11-5) lost for the fifth time in eight conference road games. Star guard Samantha Prahalis led her team with 18 points — three days after scoring a school-record 42 against Minnesota — but was only 5 of 19 from the field, including 2 of 10 on 3-pointers.
"We play down in every single one of our road games," she said. "With a lack of fight, you're not going to win those. I think it's a lack of focus. There are a lot of things we need to figure out."
The Buckeyes came into the game shooting 42 percent in Big Ten road games, and they hit just 33 percent against the Huskers.
"It was awful. It was a mess," Prahalis said.
Ohio State struggled on the defensive end to keep Emily Cady under control. The freshman forward scored 24 points to match the career high she set in the Huskers' 82-68 loss at Ohio State on Jan. 19.
The Buckeyes had Kalpana Beach, Aleksandra Dobranic, Darryce Moore, Martina Ellerbe, Raven Ferguson and Emilee Harmon all try to defend Cady. None could stop her.
Cady said she didn't know so many players were assigned to her. She made 9 of 16 shots from the floor, including a couple 3-pointers, after scoring just four points in Nebraska's 20-point loss to Michigan State on Thursday.
"I guess I was just feeling it," Cady said. "I just had to do what I had to do for my team."
The Huskers (21-7, 10-6) needed Cady's production because the Buckeyes did a magnificent job shutting down Nebraska season scoring leaders Jordan Hooper and Lindsey Moore.
Hooper had seven points and Lindsey Moore nine, most of them coming after the game was decided. Reserves Brandi Jeffery and Rebecca Woodberry scored eight apiece for Nebraska.
"Defensively we did about as good as you can against double-zero (Moore) and 35 (Hooper)," Ohio State coach Jim Foster said. "We guarded the heck out of them. For the second game in a row (Cady) hurt us."
Prahalis missed eight shots in a row after making three straight to start the game. Her jumper early in the second half pulled the Buckeyes within seven points, but Kaitlyn Burke and Cady made layups on consecutive possessions to push the Huskers' advantage back to double digits.
Prahalis, who averaged 27 points in her previous five games, never found any rhythm.
"I'm not worried," she said. "I couldn't throw the ball in the ocean today. It was pretty bad. It's minor things."
Ohio State struggled against Nebraska's full-court defense, committing 17 turnovers. The Buckeyes came into the game leading the Big Ten in field-goal percentage (.471) and scoring (77 ppg).
"I didn't like our tempo on offense at all," Foster said. "We played much too fast, much too quick, and never engaged our post players."
Jeffery gave the Huskers their biggest lead, 52-36, after throwing up a desperation air ball to beat the shot clock. Ashley Adams got the rebound for Ohio State, but Jeffery hustled across court to steal swipe the ball from her and go in for an easy layup.
An 18-1 Nebraska run put the Huskers up 29-16 in the middle of the first half. Woodberry, who averages 4.6 points, converted a three-point play and made a 3-pointer to get the Huskers going.
The Buckeyes went almost 9 1/2 minutes without a field goal before Amber Stokes' back-to-back baskets re-started the Buckeyes' offense. Hill's 3-pointer got the Buckeyes within eight points, but Lindsey Moore drove to the hoop on Nebraska's last possession of the half to make it 39-29.
The Huskers got 49 points and 18 rebounds from their six freshmen. The Huskers' up-and-down performances — lose by 20 to unranked Michigan State three days before beating a Top 25 opponent for the fifth time — prompted Nebraska coach Connie Yori to borrow a famous line from the movie "Forrest Gump."
"Our team is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get," she said. "This team is funny that way. We're really young and have had some inconsistencies. But today's game was very important. It proved we're very capable."

I've been wanting to dine at meatWorks for the longest time.. i thought of waiting for russ to come back so that we both can dine there together.. but then since it's my friend's b'day today, we decided to try the food at meatWorks @ solaris, mont kiara..
First of all, when we entered the restaurant, there was no one there to greet us or to show us our table.. it was NOT packed so i wondered where the heck were the waiters!
Secondly, i had to take the menu myself from the table next to us as we weren't given one..
Third, the ventilation is bad.. we can smell what the chef was cooking! i mean, we came out from the restaurant smelling like steak! =.="
Forth, the food is NOT up to the standard.. we ordered a mushroom soup, garlic bread, sirloin, pan fried baramundi, orange juice and ice lemon tea.. the bill came up to a total of rm170.. well, we wouldn't mind the price IF the food and service is good but let me tell you..
- the mushroom soup tasted weird.. sour-ish actually
- the sirloin was cold
- baramundi had the fishy taste
- scallops were cold (came with the baramundi)
- salad had no dressing (came with the baramundi)
- orange juice was bland (no orange taste)
Fifth, my friend had to go to the cashier himself to ask for the bill as the waiter was nowhere to be found! and then he had to go back to the cashier to sign the bill as he paid by credit card..
I just don't see why people still flock to this place.. and before we left, i saw a caucasian guy leaving the restaurant shaking his head.. i guess he's not happy with the place too..
So, if you still want to take the chance and try out meatWorks, don't say that i didn't warn you.. you'd regret BIG time.. sigh~
happy birthday to anybody

MONTCLAIR, NJ – Freeholder Gill participated in the official ceremony naming Montclair Township the SunSmartest Town in America. A community celebration followed with a cocktail reception, silent auction and fashion show held at the Montclair Art Museum.
Deputy U.S. Surgeon General RADM Boris Lushniak led the public ribbon-cutting ceremony, saying he chose to come back to Montclair because of the enthusiasm around the cause of fighting skin cancer. While he was Acting U.S. Attorney General, Lushniak published his Call to Action on Skin Cancer Prevention, which made sun smart behavior a public health issue.
Montclair will be the first multi-component SunSmart Community in the Nation. The Live SunSmart Foundation is acting as the Project Manager for this town-wide initiative which will raise awareness of the need for sun protection every day of the year. The Surgeon General's Call to Action to Prevent Skin Cancer calls on partners in prevention from various sectors across the nation to address skin cancer as a major public health problem.
According to the Live SunSmart Foundation, no other Community has committed to transform their town as per the Surgeon General's recommendations at the pace Montclair has pledged and no one entity can do this alone. This project has the support and collaboration of the Township of Montclair, Montclair Board of Education, and other stakeholder all of which are critical in the success of this initiative.

A police officer from Georgia, US, has been left overwhelmed after being asked to be godfather to a baby whose life he saved.What I Rent: Anita, £900 a month for a studio flat in Bethnal Green
On 24 September, patrol officer Kenneth Knox arrived at Kristen Parham's house after she called for help when her two-month-old girl stopped breathing.
She had been fed cereal an hour beforehand and had started choking and gasping for air.
Thankfully, Kenneth responded to the call instantly.
'He laid her on the couch and he did [reverse] CPR on her, and he sucked the cereal out of her throat,' Kristen told Fox 5.
According to Kenneth, Ma'Yavi 'smiled at [him] for a second and then started crying which was music to [his] ears,' he wrote in a post to Facebook.
'Out of my 25 years being a cop, this is the greatest and most profound accomplishment and it made every second of those 25 years worth it all.
'I am forever humbled and changed by this. Little Miss Parham will forever be a part of my life.'
But what Kenneth didn't realise, is just how big a part of his life Ma'Yavi was to become.
Just one week after the incident took place, Kristen and her partner asked Officer Knox to be Ma'Yavi's godfather.
Over the moon, he said yes immediately.
Kenneth updated his Facebook page to let his friends and family know all about the amazing moment. He wrote: 'I have officially been asked by my angel's mom and dad to be her godfather.
'It is my honor, privilege and pleasure. Ma'Yavi Parham, my precious angel, I swear I will forever be your guardian and love you with all my heart.
'I will be there for your first day, when you graduate school AND COLLEGE, and even what ever you want my little angel.'

This year we have been able to offer our first residential opportunity for Year 3 and 4 children – at the Minstead Centre in the New Forest. With an environmental theme, children learnt all about looking after the environment, and caring for animals, including the centre's own chickens!
They were also challenged to cut down on the amount of food wasted at meal times, as well as saving water with the eco-showers and rainwater toilets. Wellies were definitely needed, to make it through the very muddy fields, but it was well worth it, with everyone returning home happy but tired!
Many thanks to all the teachers involved in this great trip.

The next time someone tells you that Houston is simply a generic urban sprawl, you can gently shake your head, smile knowingly, and pat them on the hand as you disabuse them of their misapprehensions. I have been working on the third book in the Marti Keller Mysteries series, The Devil's Advocate, and I've been looking into the spooky side of the Bayou City. Some of these things I knew about, and some were news to me.
Did you know that Houston has an active vampire community? Houston Press did the legwork here, so if you or someone you know is so inclined, perhaps you can go hang out at Numbers on lower Westheimer (I used to go there in the 80s – had no idea it was still around) and you might meet a few of the city's vampire set. Or you can just like them on Facebook.
Seems like reality TV is crawling with ghost hunting shows, but did you know that ghost hunting groups abound in Houston? Houston Ghost Hunters, Ghost Hunters of Houston, Paranormal Houston, West Houston Paranormal Society, Lone Star Spirits, and G.H.O.S.T. Houston are just a few of them. Can't decide on a group? Try going to a meet up.
You can take ghost tours with Ghost Tours Texas, Houston Historical Tours, or Houston Ghost Tour. Spring, Galveston, and Kemah also have spooky tours.
Perhaps you've heard of the Houston Bat Man? No? On June 18, 1953 witnesses in the Heights saw an approximately 6'6″ humanoid with bat-like-wings that leaped into a tree, crouched there a few minutes, then apparently flew away over the treetops at high speed. A similar creature was sighted on multiple occasions at the Johnson Space Center in 1986. But that creature running across your roof at night? It's just a raccoon. Probably.
Remember the movie Poltergeist? It was inspired by a true story. The Black Hope Cemetery in Crosby, Texas (just a little northeast of Houston) was turned into a subdivision, but the graves were never moved. Some homeowners reported strange activity.
But there's plenty of creepy stuff, even if you don't believe in ghosts. You can take a crack at solving the infamous Ice Box Murders, where an elderly couple was found dismembered, pieces neatly wrapped in butcher paper, and stacked in their refrigerator. Or, maybe take a stab at The Killing Fields, where the bodies more than twenty young women were found. One killer was brought to justice, but he was only responsible for a handful of the victims. But don't worry – you're much more likely to be struck by lightning than be murdered by a serial killer.
Sleep tight, y'all.
