DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Frigid temperatures iced the Upper Midwest as a storm that dumped more than a foot of snow in several states from Iowa to New England threatened another round on Thursday as it neared the end of its cross-country trek.
Commuters from Des Moines to Chicago were warned of morning temperatures reaching 10 degrees at best and icy roads. Wind chill values could dip as low as negative 25 in parts of Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois, according to the National Weather Service.
Blizzard warnings covered parts of southwest Michigan where another 12 inches of snow was expected by Friday evening. Up to 18 inches could fall in parts of central and western New York, while wind gusts approaching 60 mph were reported near Buffalo.
But most of the Midwest was focused on digging out of the snow — up to 19 inches in some areas — and bracing for bitter-cold weather.
"It's already very cold across the entire region," said Casey Sullivan, a weather service meteorologist in Romeoville, Ill., adding that parts of northern Illinois may hit only 2 degrees. "Iowa's even colder."
Des Moines, which saw 16 inches of snow by Wednesday, could see a high near 9 degrees — but wind chill values could make temperatures feel like minus 25. In Madison, Wis., near where almost 19 inches of snow fell, the wind chill could hit minus 20, according to the weather service.
New England, also pounded by heavy snow and strong winds on Wednesday, expected more snow but temperatures to hover around freezing.
Wind gusts of nearly 60 mph may have caused a double-decker bus to overturn on the New York State Thruway near Buffalo on Thursday. The driver and nine of the 13 passengers were injured, but none of them seriously, state police said.
The storm was expected to move off the coast of Maine by Thursday night, having affected about two-thirds of the country since hitting California earlier this week, meteorologists predicted.
The storm was blamed for at least 20 deaths, most in traffic accidents, in the Upper Midwest and New England. Hundreds of schools were closed, power was knocked out to thousands of people from Missouri to New York and hundreds of flights were canceled.
In northern New York, up to a foot fell on Wednesday and more than 3 feet was expected by the week's end. Areas in Maine and New Hampshire received up to a foot of snow. Up to 7 inches fell in northeast Pennsylvania.
The storm drenched California in rain, blanketed the mountain West in snow and shattered snowfall records in Flagstaff, Ariz. earlier this week. Wind gusts of up to 100 mph were reported in New Mexico, wind chills as low as minus 40 hit southern Montana, and heavy rain and flooding affected parts of the South, according to the National Weather Service.
The storm felt like a rude surprise after an unseasonably warm and dry November in parts of the Midwest. The massive system is the first major blast of wintry weather for many parts of the region.
"I've been dreading this day," said Kim Brust, shoveling the sidewalk in front of his Minneapolis home before sunrise Wednesday. "I was starting to enjoy the global warming."
While an inconvenience for many, others took an opportunity to play.
At least 3,000 University of Wisconsin-Madison students took advantage of an unplanned day off and hurled snowballs at each other in a massive snowball fight. Classes were canceled for the first time in 19 years due to weather.
Some came holding trays as shields. Others were bundled up to protect themselves from the below-freezing temperatures and winds that gusted to more than 20 mph — though several went shirtless, while at least one had on pajamas.
"I figured with the day off, there was no better way to spend it than with a snowball fight," said Matt Moerel, 19, of Vadnais Heights, Minn.
Many New England residents braced for bone-chilling winds after digging out from a foot or more of snow. The weather was welcomed by 8-year-old Gavin Graham of Concord, N.H. He spent two hours sledding.
"It was really good sledding. The snow was puffy, and that was really good because we had little jumps already made," he said. "It was awesome having the day off from school."

The Department of Human Services and Counseling offers two graduate level programs leading to a professional state certificate valid for teaching students with disabilities at the childhood level: Teaching Students with Disabilities in Childhood (33 credits) and Childhood and Childhood Special Education Internship (48 credits). The 33-credit program leads to an initial state certificate valid for teaching students with disabilities at the childhood level (grades 1-6).
The 48-credit internship program is intended for students who have not received initial certification in childhood or elementary education and who wish to obtain additional certification in teaching students with disabilities at the childhood level. Both programs are designed to foster the development of skills, attitudes and abilities needed to identify and remediate major learning and behavior disorders and to instruct individuals at the childhood level who manifest learning and behavioral problems ranging from mild to profound, regardless of etiology. Attention is paid to diagnosis, intervention, program planning, program evaluation and research.
Completion of this 33- or 48-credit program qualifies students for New York State initial certification as a teacher of students with disabilities at the childhood level (grades 1-6), provided students have successfully completed all State mandated external exams, training modules and teaching experiences.

Blind Item #1
This B- list mostly television actress has pretty much stayed in that position for her entire career. Sometimes she moves up slightly, but she has always been consistent and has been on one television show after the other. Some hits and some misses. She told producers she would walk off the set of her current show and quit if they attempted to make her a lesbian. Acting or not, she is dead set against it and it goes against her values.

An IFBer exposes FICM's dangers

An IFBer exposes FICM's dangers
Hi people
Sorry I haven't been around for a while. Having never been in fundamentalism I sometimes don't know if I have much to contribute but it continues to plague my mind from what I've seen of it in books and on websites. I'm acutely aware of the increased web presence of the Family Integrated Church Movement. While I can understand their thinking on some things, I think on others it is very very flawed. And I'm glad IFB man David Cloud does as well. I'll give him his due - at least he states his denomination from the start so's you know what you're getting. The full article's here http://www.wayoflife.org/files/09b8f3c2a...b-451.html and does re-emphasise a few things Cloud already believes that the likes of Vision Forum don't (eg KJO) but it's refreshing to hear a fundy laying into certain principles that the likes of Voddie Baucham, Paul Washer and Tim Conway (not that one) emphasise. If you don't want to read the whole article, the bit that cheers my heart is below the dots Chris ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. The Integrated Church has gone beyond the Bible in making rules about family and church. The Integrated Church tends to be very legalistic. There is much liberty within the biblical model for both the family and the church, and it is legalistic to make laws that go beyond the biblical bounds. For example, there is the teaching that the church must always be "family integrated." A lecture published by Vision Forum says, "The biblical example is that entire families are present for corporate worship. Age-segregated worship is rooted in evolutionary humanism, not biblical Christianity" (Doug Phillips, "The Role of Children in the Meeting of the Church," 2002, Family Renewal Audio Library). The Bible says nothing about this one way or the other. Segregation of the ages has its dangers, but there can be a time and place to teach children and young people separately from the adults. A segregated ministry has some dangers that we need to consider and avoid, but it's not a heresy. As the pillar and ground of the truth and possessing the Lord's commission to "teach them to observe all things whatsoever I have taught you," the church has the authority to teach children and young people just as surely as the home has (1 Timothy 3:16; Matthew 28:19); and the church has the right to decide how to accomplish this in a practical sense. I believe there is a great benefit in having children taught separately from the regular adult preaching time, at least part of the time, and in having some youth meetings. The Bible nowhere says that children and youth must always be with their parents. That is to make law out of the Bible's silence. Sunday School is neither a pillar of the faith or a heresy. It is simply a tool. The Sunday School movement began as a way of evangelizing children from poor families and did not meet in the church or even during normal church times. It was held in various places in the community on Sunday afternoons. The typical Sunday School today is partly evangelistic and partly discipleship. Each church must determine how it will fulfill Christ's command to preach the gospel to every creature and disciple those who believe, and the Sunday School can be a helpful tool if it is conducted properly. Having or not having a Sunday School doesn't determine whether a church is biblical. If mom and dad want to keep their children with them at all times in church, and if they don't want their children to participate in youth activities, that is their prerogative before the Lord, but to go beyond this and make such things a law for everyone is to go beyond Scripture. Another example of the legalism of the Integrated Church movement is its teaching that daughters must remain under the father's roof until marriage. The following is a review of a Vision Forum book and DVD by a fundamentalist home schooling mother that investigated their materials: "The two items I have reviewed are the book `So Much More,' a book to daughters about how to have `vision' for the kingdom of God. And the DVD `The Return of the Daughters,' a documentary on the whole idea of daughters staying under their father's roof until marriage. On the surface these items seemed to be very God-honoring. Yet, I had an unsettled feeling that something just wasn't quite right. On the DVD, it seemed very touching to want to `protect' your daughters in the way they suggest. What Christian father wouldn't want to do the best for his daughter? Being a home school father, my husband wanted to have an open heart to what the Lord may be leading him to in the future. We spent all these years training her to be a keeper at home and as she becomes an adult, we do not want to just `throw her to the wolves.' This is exactly what the DVD suggests you are doing if you don't keep your daughter at home until marriage. ... The book had much material that seemed on the surface to be great. It mentioned modest dress, Christian femininity, etc. Yet, it warned daughters against an independent spirit and self-sufficiency to the point of calling working for anyone other than your dad, selfish and Marxist. It also mentioned if daughters did not have families that agreed with this vision, they should find a family that would adopt them into their families so they could fulfill this role. The whole idea was the family should not be split up at church and if you wanted to be a visionary daughter you better find a family in one of their Integrated churches so you could be a part. It was such nonsense as I have led `bus kids' to Christ in junior church and have wondered how they would have fit in at church without any families to adopt them. There were so many other glaring flaws, often times they used Scripture quotes that were intended to be commands for our relationship to Christ, and they twisted it to be for our relationship to earthly fathers." To teach that young women cannot leave their father's roof unless they are married is going far beyond Scripture and putting man-made yokes on God's people. Though we agree that we are not to follow the dictates and ways of today's feministic-influenced society (Psalm 1:1) and children are to obey their parents in the Lord (Ephesians 6:1), that does not mean that we have to submit to man-made laws that go beyond this. The Bible alone is our sole authority for faith and practice. Is a young woman still a child? For a young woman to go to a godly Bible College and even to become a single missionary within the ministry restrictions of the New Testament Scripture (e.g., 1 Timothy 2:12) is not unscriptural. My wife was saved as a teenager living in home broken by divorce. Her step father was an unbeliever, so she had no earthly father to help her spirituality. She faithfully attended the best church in her area, and after she graduated from high school she attended a godly Bible College, worked in a church, and was called to be a missionary. Before we were married, she worked as a nurse at a missionary hospital, and I do not believe that she was disobeying the Bible. A single woman can operate under the authority of the church as surely as she can under the authority of a father. Consider Phebe (Romans 16:1-2). She was sent by Paul on a ministry journey to Rome and Paul instructed the church at Rome to assist her, yet no father or husband is mentioned. To instruct young women to leave their own fathers and put themselves under another father, because her own father is not following the Integrated Church model, is actually rebellion to God's Word. Where does the Bible teach this? The Bible says, "Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right" (Eph. 6:1). It doesn't say, "Daughters obey your father in the Lord unless he refuses to follow the Integrated Church philosophy." Beware of Integrated Church legalism. |

RE: An IFBer exposes FICM's dangers
I heartily disagree with this. He condemns extra-biblical teachings and turns right around and creates his own.
Yes, women shouldn't just ditch their father's if they are unbelievers, but it also is never stated int he Bible that women without "heads" should place themselves under the authority of the church. He also dances around the child vs. woman issue. He implies that this woman who is adult enough to go to college and work as a nurse, but then relegates her to the role of a child by insisting that the church be the stand-in for her father. It's more of this patriarchal BS that places barriers in the way of women and children having direct access to God. Did it ever occur to these people that this woman was an adult in every way and didn't need someone to step in between her and her maker to make decisions for her? I understand that if you're a man, these teachings don't seem that far out. But as someone who was relegated to being nothing but a mindless, obedient pew-warmer my whole life, I believe Cloud still clearly misses the mark and still leaves wide berth for pastors and parents (who consider themselves believers) to abuse their assumed authority when it comes to those under them.

RE: An IFBer exposes FICM's dangers
Yeah, I know in my fundy church, the pastor's response from the pulpit to this type of stuff (home church proselytes, "the church is pagan", father should be the pastor of his family, etc) was responded to with equally troubling expressions of the authority of the church.
Sorry, but the OT man of God, or the authority of the Apostles, does not apply to a pastor of a church, or a father. If I remember correctly, wasn't "priesthood of the believer" a Baptist Distinctive? "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side" |

RE: An IFBer exposes FICM's dangers
I remember working in a Christian ministry with a lady whose children had attended Christian school their entire growing up years. This school was connected with a very legalistic Independent Baptist Church.
Her daughter was graduating from highschool and was scheduled to attend Hyles- Anderson College in the fall. The daughter was offered a job for the summer at a Baskin Robins ice cream shop. They decided she should baby sit for the summer, because she might be exposed to rock music at Baskin Robins . I turned around and told her if her daughter at 18 years old would falter in her faith by being exposed to rock music, then she and her husband had failed. So many of these kids, when they are on their own, either don't know how to function in the real world or they go hog wild. Oh at the time, my husband was an independent Baptist pastor. Thank God we left that group of Baptist and went on and faithfully served in the pastorial ministry for an additional 24 years before my husband's home going . It is sick to think an adult single Christian woman who is on her own has to be under the authority of her father or church. |

RE: An IFBer exposes FICM's dangers
Hi everyone
It's a couple of years since I posted this thread - for some reason I was only notified of the first response. Looking again, I can now see I missed some implications of Cloud's article. Reading his other stuff (don't worry I'm not with him on rock music, alcohol or the KJV) I've always sensed that he's very anti the kind of thing where men OR women are stopped from working at Baskin Robbins because they might be exposed to rock music (having reluctantly sat on the anti-rock bench for many years, I never allowed my actions to become anywhere near so extreme) but I guess he's left some gaping holes in the article I quoted here originally. My apologies for any insensitive behaviour or hurt caused. Bless ya all Chris |

RE: An IFBer exposes FICM's dangers
After I graduated from Fundy U, I accepted a job in a Christian school more than 1,000 miles away from my parents. One day the principal called me in and said that he had heard that I wore a bathing suit at the gym. (It was a ladies-only gym; my room mate had turned me in.) He said that in the absence of my father, I was now under the authority of him and my pastor, and he felt that he should admonish me about my choices. He wanted clarification that I only wore a one-piece, and that I wore clothes over it on the way to the gym. He was also concerned about the type of music they played. I am ashamed to say that I humbly answered his questions and then left to go home and question whether I should cancel my gym membership.

Lesley community members recycle electronics, swap clothing, and enjoy the bounty of the Lesley Garden on Sustainability Day
Friday, October 25, 2013
Among the activities at Lesley, people brought clothing to swap; dropped off cell phones, chargers, batteries and other electronics for recycling; engaged in bicycle repair and safety demonstrations with Ace Wheelworks; and enjoyed an ultra-local tea and jam tasting created from the bounty of the Lesley Garden.
"We had a great turnout on Wednesday from faculty, staff, and students from every corner of the University. The local tea and jam table in particular were popular thanks to the students' enthusiasm about promoting local foods," said Michael Orr, Lesley's sustainability coordinator.
Assistant Professor Aileen Bellwood, who teaches the Science and Ethics of Gardening class at Lesley, worked with her students to serve up jam and refreshing herbal teas that the students prepared with peppermint, spearmint, lavender and lemon basil harvested from the Lesley Garden.
"These herbal beverages are an alternative to unhealthy beverages made with high fructose corn syrup in an unsustainable, industrial food system," Bellwood explained.
Lesley student Jordan Church, who was manning the tea and jam table on Sustainability Day, said it's important for the Lesley community, and all people, to know where their food comes from.
"There are a lot of inefficiencies in agricultural production," said Jordan, who is a junior studying environmental science and biology. "Any opportunity to learn about it and learn how to get rid of those inefficiencies is good."
Jennifer Bucolo, who was manning the clothing swap table, echoed her classmate's sentiment.
"I think it's important for people to learn how to grow their own food," noted Jennifer, a senior studying social change and environmental science. "With the current state of our food production, it's hard to get healthy foods that didn't take a serious toll on the environment. It's important to strengthen our community here at Lesley where students have a stronger appreciation of nature, and the Lesley Garden is one way we do that."
The Lesley Garden, which is located at the southwest corner of Lot B on the Doble Campus, serves as a laboratory for the Science & Ethics of Gardening Class. Most of the herbs growing in the garden were generously donated by Steph Zabel of Herbstalk, who spent a long sunny July afternoon planting them along with a group of Lesley summer volunteer gardeners. The Lesley summer volunteer gardeners helped to plant and tend the garden over the summer break.
This week also marks Food Day, a nationwide celebration and a movement for healthy, affordable and sustainable food, which ties in nicely with what the students are learning in the Gardening class, Bellwood said."From a science perspective, it can be depressing because these problems are tied up in politics and related social issues, but this is part of the solution," says Bellwood, who holds a PhD in conservation biology.

Our strategy
Improve community infrastructure, health, resiliency and economic opportunities in Indonesia's most challenging urban and coastal areas.
The context
About half of all Indonesians live on less than a dollar a day. Employment growth has been slower than population growth. Public services remain inadequate by middle-income standards, and health indicators are poor.
Our work
- Economic opportunity: Providing technical assistance, training and financial services to microfinance institutions throughout the country
- Health: Raising awareness and supporting mothers to practice and promote exclusive breastfeeding
- Children & Youth: Addressing childhood malnutrition through healthy, affordable food carts in Jakarta
- Water: Improving sanitation and hygiene in crowded urban areas with a mobile sludge removal service
- Disaster preparedness: Identifying and mapping areas at risk and helping those communities plan, train and practice how to respond when disasters occur
- Emergency response: Maintaining a response team ready to quickly deploy and provide immediate relief to survivors during the critical first months after a disaster strikes

The recent oil discovery in Turkana has been termed as a historic discovery and is seen to be a boost to the country's economy which offers Kenya a unique and exciting chance to alleviate poverty and create broad-based development and improved standards of living across the country. Howevor the lack of a benefit sharing mechanism between county and country doesnt show the clear picture of the direct benefits to the county's economy. Moreover, international experience points to challenges which are often faced by resource-rich developing countries in translating mineral wealth into peace and prosperity.
Much has been written about the "resource curse" and a deepening range of political, economic and social challenges is visible. Disputes related to natural resources have exacted a toll on far too many African societies, turning the dreams of national prosperity that come with the discovery of such natural resources into perpetual nightmares. Consequently, these disputes have resulted in violent conflicts, environmental destruction, corruption, untold human hardship, displacements and a devastated future for entire communities. This sad but true reality causes even the most exuberant optimist to wonder if the discovery of oil in one's county should be a cause of jubilation or trepidation.
Aside from a few exceptions, wherever there is oil on the continent, there is misery and conflict. The causes of these conflicts, as seen across the region, range from a lack of mechanisms for accountability, inequities in the distribution of oil wealth, to injustices of endemic political and corporate abuses of human rights in affected communities. This is manifested through the violations of rights, total disregard for laws and flagrant disregard for the interests and wellbeing of communities.
A common trend as seen in oil-related conflicts from Angola and Nigeria to Sudan, among others, is the emergence of aggrieved and exploited groups of citizens, who resort to violence as the only means of demanding accountability, inclusion and justice. 'A riot is the language of the unheard', as Martin Luther King put it. The billions of oil wealth generated do not reflect in the conditions of the people and the communities from which the oil is drilled. The continent's leading oil producers ;Algeria, Nigeria and Angola, rank 104, 158 and 143 respectively on the 2009 United Nations Human Development Index. Other resource-endowed African countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) also rank near the bottom of human development in the world.
The absence of strong mechanisms for accountability and oversight have allowed small cliques of greedy elites and their corporate allies to amass the oil wealth to the detriment of national development in too many of our countries. It is a trend too pervasive across the continent, so what measures is Kenya putting in place to avert this?
Based on the guiding Brussels Principles- October 2009: A new Paradigm for Oil and gas development which countries and their legislators must observe as they debate the Oil game in their respective countries;
In order to safeguard societal interests, the following need to be put in place before oil production begins:
The proposed Freedom of Information Act should be passed and must guarantee unconditional public access to information, including on revenues, investments and contracts.
There is need for citizen oversight- Vigilant citizens remain the best guarantee against corruption and for safeguarding the public interest. Citizens and the media must see and treat their monitoring role as a responsibility. Based on the pathetic track record of most of our political and public officials, personal and not public interest is going to be the foremost priority of most of those who would be representing us in the planning, negotiations and decision processes. If 'we the people' don't stand up for our collective interest, no one else will do it for us.
Written by Ikal Angelei, Director of Friends of Lake Turkana
Free Prior Informed Consent (FPIC) - For Indigenous Peoples, the Right of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) is a requirement, prerequisite and manifestation of the exercise of their fundamental right to Self-determination as defined in international law. Free, Prior and Informed Consent is a fundamental underpinning of Indigenous Peoples' ability to conclude and implement valid Treaties and Agreements with other parties, to exert sovereignty over their lands and natural resources, to develop and participate in processes that redress and correct violations, to accept any results that emerge from these processes, and to establish the terms and criteria for negotiations with States over any and all matters affecting them.
Citizens guide to World Commission on Dams (WCD) - This Citizens' Guide to the World Commission on Dams is intended as a tool for people in their struggles for social justice and environmental protection. You can download the WCD Final Report and the Citizens Guide to WCD in our documents page.
United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) - The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was adopted by the General Assembly on Thursday September 13, 2007. The Declaration is the most comprehensive statement of the rights of indigenous peoples ever developed, giving prominence to collective rights to a degree unprecedented in international human rights law. The adoption of this instrument is the clearest indication yet that the international community is committing itself to the protection of the individual and collective rights of indigenous peoples.
The New Constitution of Kenya – The New Constitution in Kenya brings about decentralization and improved checks and balances which will in turn have a profound impact on Kenyan life by bringing government closer to the people, involving citizens (including women) more actively in decision-making, and enhancing transparency and accountability across all parts of government. However, there is a need for the citizens to understand the constitution thus an effort to translate the document to community languages to better their understanding of the constitution and their rights as well as a clear understanding of the framework of their participation in natural resource management.
Ongoing Programmes
FoLT is currently undertaking a campaign to highlight to the Kenyan public, legislators, diplomatic missions, donor agencies, development partners and the world at large the possible dangers posed on the lake and its eco-system due to the Gibe III hydroelectric project, which has been deemed threatening to the biodiversity, livelihood, development, and national security in Northern Kenya by the Africa Resources Working Group (ARWG). To learn about the Environmental and Social Impacts of the Proposed Gibe III Hydroelectric Project in Ethiopia's Lower Omo River Basin, Click Here.
Funded by German and French Embassy - To establish cooperation among the local community, government agencies and non-governmental organizations, and the network of other communities in the Lake Turkana basin in pursuing biodiversity conservation and sustainable natural resource use and management. It would also raise the awareness of the local community about the importance of natural resource and environment conservation.
Governance is the key stone on sound natural resource management. its core principles- accountability; transparency, participation and rule of law should be at the heart at local, national, bi-lateral and multi-lateral levels to ensure decisions that affect natural resources and resource users are well informed and implemented equitably.
With the recent discovery of oil in Turkana County, FoLT remains vigilant as part of our Resource Governance focus. International experience points to challenges which are often faced by resource-rich developing countries in translating mineral wealth into peace and prosperity. Friends of Lake Turkana has taken the mentle of educating the citizens of the oil exploration areas in order for them to take action and dispell the 'resource curse' of violent conflicts, environmental destruction, corruption, untold human hardship, displacements and a devastated future for entire communities. FoLT will also advocate for equitable distribution of oil wealth between the central government and Turkana County.
Read our perspective on oil in Kenya here...
Friends of Lake Turkana is the focal point for the East African Indigenous Peoples (IP) Think Tank which has a mission to increase public participation and promote fair debate on critical social, economic and environmental issues affecting indigenous peoples of East Africa in both national and international forums.
The goal is to work in coalitions and networks to strengthen social movements, especially as we forge multi-cultural, cross-border and cross-focus area alliances. As a think tank our work is unique (in that we are bringing new approaches to social change including the awareness of economic, social and cultural rights) as we work with grass roots indigenous constituencies and help bridge policy think tanks with activist networks and social movements and strengthen the solidarity and cooperation of indigenous organizations and communities in East Africa.
The think tank engages in 4 main areas of interrelated work to encourage indigenous participate in decision making on issues that affect their lives.
1. Movement and Organizational Strengthening- To facilitate and coordinate priority activities and the implementation of a set of programs as well as to carry out information dissemination work in order to strengthen indigenous women's movements in East Africa.
2. Capacity Building - to assist the East African IP members and networks in strengthening their capacity and skills to address the challenges they face through building organizations, stronger collective leadership, and better organizational management.
3. Indigenous Women- empowering the indigenous women through networking, education and capacity building activities. One of the objectives of this programme is to promote awareness of indigenous women's rights for them to be able to effectively participate in decision making at all levels, from their communities, to the national, regional and international levels. It is imperative for the East African IP Think Tank to strengthen the mainstreaming of women's issues and concerns and ensure greater engagement and participation of indigenous women in all the programme activities,
4. Research - This comparative research builds upon academic research and action-researchers in local networks; both indigenous and non-indigenous to critically inform debates on indigenous and customary rights in legislation and policy, both to facilitate local action platforms and to influence law- and policy-makers
FoLT's Mission is to protect and conserve Lake Turkana, the Lake Turkana Basin and its environment; champion the rights of the Lake's communities and ensure their involvement in decision-making on issues relating to the Lake and its environment; and engage communities in conservation activities within the Lake Turkana Basin and its environs.
FoLT's Vision is: Well informed Lake Turkana Basin communities who have control over their natural resources and their use for economically and environmentally sustainable development.
Due to depleting natural resources, Lake Turkana is in dire need on sustainable long-term solutions that both conserve the environment and promote local livelihoods.
FoLT is working to raise awareness on the threats that face both the lives around the Lake and its ecosystem.
Indigenous communities around Lake Turkana remain as one of the most neglected and marginalized communities in Kenya.

I was told by someone that this supposedly is possible with spamming unpause commands while the pause countdown timer (the 5-4-3-2-1-pause) runs down.
However, I just ran a test no-statgame, bound M to 'unpause' and mashed it before my testing-partner called the pause (and while it was pausing) and it didn't work. I'm to lazy to write a script that does it more reliably (especially because I highly doubt this method works at all) so if this should be actually the way and it has to happen several times in a certain frame or something you might wanna test it with a script.
I doubt it as the timeframe where the unpause happens in all the cases here is somewhat random between 0 and 15 seconds.
Match 59068494
Timestamp: 41:30 ingame time.
One of our players dropped and therefore we paused the game; Brown from the enemy team provocatively told us "Go pause" at that time. At the same time, our pause began, brown (enemy) instantly managed to unpause the game. Bug? Explot? Hack?
This happened to me my last game Match 64475389
I would let you all know the time stamp, but unfortunately I get a K2 exception and crash to desktop every time I try to view the replay. It was pretty early on in the game though.
Heres a though u might want to look into:
Now obviosuly you use a variable to store the 30 second countdown for the unpause, however in the frame at the start of the pause, there will be a point where the pause has started but the variable is still 0 (before being set too 30 or however you do it)
now, if you hit unpause at this point (on the frame that the pause starts but the variable isn't set) the game might consider the pause over and let you unpause.
just a though though...
To be honest I experienced this bug myself, however I was the one being able to unpause. I did not use any exploit or mods, but for some reason I was able to unpause like it was normal, the option wasn't greyed out - maybe add an extra check to the button or w/e. I can't give you match ID because I play very many games on different accounts so I can't remember on which one it was and when.
Match 84280528
mr_kevin (pharaoh) unpauses a few seconds after the enemy pauses (in the last 7 or so minutes of the game) and when asked about it all he replies is "hax". Unless he did it unknowingly, we can probably conclude that this IS a reproduceable bug.
Match 88137284
At around 18:00 on the replay timer, I swear that the other team unpauses in only around 30 seconds.
Please review match ID 88520349 on 5/2/2012, 4:33:59 am. Player "Fleshrocket" on Legion side was able to unpaused Hellbourne's pause well before the 1 minute time limit (within seconds after passing pause vote). As a result our hard carry pred, did not make it back in time for for the team fight which resulted in rax and eventual lose. We request that the PSR (KDR may stay as it is) be rolled back for every player on hellbourne for this particular game.
Pause occurred around 1:04:50 into the game.
You're talking about replay timer, pause occures at 61:54 INGAME time.
I watched the replay it's indeed interesting, but don't think it's a bug. Probably after 60mins you can just unpause without waiting? No idea... :O

Hello everyone, I've been using MM since about 18 months so far. I'm not a programmer, but I'm interested in tweaks and improvements for almost everything I have in my computer. And this includes MM.
First of all, I want to apologise if this is not the right place for this kind of suggestion-request, but is the one that seemed correct to me.
Secondly, I'm going to explain my idea.
I'm sure that many of you have thought about this before, and possibly already have the answer to my question.
Some time ago, I decided to create a database in MS Access to store my music data. In order to achieve this, I had to
1) Check and correct the mp3 files' tags. (which is more or less done)
2)Decide the database structure. (which is the following:)
My MS Access database has got five tables: Albums, Artists, Artists_Website, Style, and Format. I introduce info in the tables through forms, which are: Artists, Style, Format, *Albums (embedded into Artists form) and *Artists_Website (embedded into Artists form). Thus, I only need to open the Artists form, and from there introduce any info I want: Artist ID, artist name, origin, artist style, years active, website(s), and description of this website (whether it is their Youtube channel, official page, etc.), current members, former members, and info about their albums: album ID, album name, publishing year, artist ID, album format (whether it's an EP, LP, promo CD, double CD, etc.)
Okay, this being said, the problem is that I could do all this manually, looking at my files, tags, and searching the Web, and introducing the data one by one, but I think there MUST be a way of doing this - or something similar - automatically. I found a couple of programmes (Music Collector, and Music Label 2010), but they don't really satisfy what I want. And after that I thought there could be some way of exporting MM's database, or converting it, I don't know... I also thought of some foobar2000 feature or script, but I don't really know where to start.
This is my problem, so any help is welcome; and for you developers, if some of you wants to take the challenge of creating a script that can do this, the idea is all yours...
Thank you all for your attention.

After the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti, Ben Stiller and the Stillerstrong project is now changing its efforts to the Haitian School Initiative, in collaboration with Architecture for Humanity. We will develop and build a series of temporary and transitional schools where they are needed most. We need get children back in school by building strong, safe and sustainable facilities that protect them in the months and years it will take to rebuild their country.
The future of Haiti has never seemed so bleak. Large-scale reconstruction is not yet a priority, but the country will be rebuilt. BNN investigates how other nations have recovered from this catastrophe and what's involved. BNN speaks to Kate Stohr, managing director and co-founder, Architecture for Humanity.
Barefoot Foundation will build new school for displaced children
Prior to her performance on the Hope for Haiti Telethon, Shakira announced today an initiative to build a new school in Haiti through her Barefoot Foundation. The Foundation will work in partnership with Architecture for Humanity to build the school and NGO partners to provide education, school feeding, clean water and sanitation services. Foundation board member Howard Buffett, World Food Program Ambassador Against Hunger and chairman of the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, will fund the school feeding component of the initiative and other related services.
To fully enact our seven point reconstruction plan in Haiti we need to raise approx. $100K - Over the past week we've raised close to $50K, mainly from $25, $50 and $100 online donations. A number of individuals and groups have independently set up fund raisers and auctions to help us reach our goal. Below are the ones we know about. We are immensely grateful for taking the initiative.
Designers Unite for Haiti - Bureau of Friends Ebay Sale The Bureau of Friends (we are a member) are donating one off products for sale on eBay. Check it out
Zoe Saldana Zoe Saldana, the actress of Avatar, Star Trek and Pirates of the Caribbean kindly offered to do a fashion week eBay auction to help raise funds towards our Haiti reconstruction work. Check it out

Rebuilding After Disaster: The Biloxi Model Home Program documents the rebuilding effort of a coalition of partners in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
We would like to thank all of the families, architects, engineers, construction professionals, volunteers, supporters, and sponsors of the Biloxi Model Home Program. This book is dedicated to them and all the residents of East Biloxi, Mississippi, whose love for the community made this work possible.
The book is currently available online.
A number of you have been asking about the nature of our response. While it is still early, taking lessons from the work in Bam, after the Tsunami and on the Gulf Coast, here is our current plan.
1) Fundraise We're going to start by fundraising. We do need donations to get rolling.
2) Create a central base Send a team down to identify a site/partner(s) to house a recovery center likely in Port-au-Prince.
3) Provide technical assistance Use a small full-time team to direct volunteer efforts in damage assessments, safety training and basic building training. (first 6 months- 1 year)
4) Design Services Provide sustained, long-term design services from the recovery center to local groups, NGO's and local officials to assist and support the rebuilding process (6 months- 3 years)
On Jan. 12th a powerful 7.0 quake hit the impoverished nation of Haiti. This was followed more than 30+ strong aftershocks. There has been widespread major damage and a loss of life estimated to be between 45,000 to 50,000 (source: Red Cross). There are projections of 2-3M without shelter. Since then we have launched an appeal to focus on the long term reconstruction effort. In the first four days we've raised over $45,000 in individual giving and have pledges from a number of companies.
If you care about building Haiti back better, donate today.

USGBC's 2010 Natural Talent Design Competition, presented Salvation Army's EnviRenew Initiative, is challenging Students and Emerging Professionals to design a small, green, affordable, LEED Platinum home for elderly residents of the Broadmoor neighborhood in New Orleans, Louisiana. New Orleans has seen a lot of reconstruction and regeneration, but the job is far from done. This is your chance to help rebuild a city the right way and change lives forever."

L'anniversaire d'une catastrophe offre un moment pour réfléchir, pas plus qu'en Haïti, où plus de 1.000.000 de personnes sont toujours déplacées d'un an après le séisme 7,0 détruit des vies et des moyens de subsistance.
Même dans le meilleur des cas, la reconstruction prend des années. En Haïti, la violence, l'incertitude politique et la récente épidémie de choléra ont ralenti les travaux.

"The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have."
Vince Lombardi
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss, but in the number of things they need no longer mention."
Clifton Fadiman
"Your greatness is measured by your kindness; your education and intellect by your modesty; your ignorance is betrayed by your suspicions and prejudices, and your real caliber is measured by the consideration and tolerance you have for others."
William J. H. Boetcker
"Intense love does not measure; it just gives"
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
"Sacrifice is the only true measure of generosity."
Jason Hurst
"One measure of leadership is the caliber of people who choose to follow you."
Dennis A. Peer
"The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out."
Thomas Babington Macaulay
