About FKC
Our Aims
hen FKC was formed in 2004 its mission statement was as follows :-Friends of Kenya's Children will endeavour to relieve the need of orphaned, abandoned or homeless children in Lodwar and Eldoret, in partnership with Christian Outreach Ministries Worldwide (COM).
Our Motto, "Out of poverty through education" recognises that the best way to help a child escape the poverty trap is to enable him/her to attend school. Therefore FKC is committed to supporting the development of a school in the poor community near Eldoret served by COM. In addition to serving the local community, this school accepts as boarders orphaned or abandonded children from Lodwar and other areas served by COM.
Potted History
At Good News Crusade's (GNC) summer camp, two people from Derby met a Kenyan pastor. He described a problem he had back home. He was responsible for 115 orphans in Lodwar, a desert region 350 miles north of his home town of Eldoret. His church, in the Eldoret slum area, was not able to support the children.2004
A registered charity, Friends of Kenya's Children, was formed by the Derby group to raise funds for the school2005
The Pastor's vision, also supported by GNC, was to build a school to meet the needs of his community, and to move some of the Lodwar children to the better environment of Eldoret to board at the school. The Derby folk created a registered charity, Friends of Kenya's Children, and set about raising funds for the school.2006
A school was started in temporary huts on leased land and land was bought, with funds from GNC and FKC, for a permanent building. 2010
A beautiful school now stands at the heart of that community, its pride and joy. It has 160 pupils and 38 boarders, with more children added each term, and 38 are orphans from Lodwar and elsewhere receiving love, attention and education that will change their lives for the better.2011
The school intends to achieve self sufficiency for the future. To that end, qualified teachers have been appointed, whose salaries need to be sponsored for the next three years. FKC's current appeal (Project 36) is to find 36 individuals / groups / organisations who will commit to provide Ł25 each month for a maximum of three years to cover Ł900 salary costs.Archives

My favorite Epicurus quote. "Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"
Ah yes, theodicy, the final frontier. I ran across this quote.
"God created things which had free will. That means creatures which can go wrong or right. Some people think they can imagine a creature which was free but had no possibility of going wrong, but I can't. If a thing is free to be good it's also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. A world of automata -of creatures that worked like machines- would hardly be worth creating. The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they've got to be free.
Of course God knew what would happen if they used their freedom the wrong way: apparently, He thought it worth the risk. (...) If God thinks this state of war in the universe a price worth paying for free will -that is, for making a real world in which creatures can do real good or harm and something of real importance can happen, instead of a toy world which only moves when He pulls the strings- then we may take it it is worth paying."

How to Make Green Beer for St. Patty's Day in 3 Easy Steps
Step 1:
Grab a case of your favourite light pilsner and some liquid blue food colour.
Note: You could attemt to make green beer with darker brews, but light beer results in a better green beer. Think back to your colour theory classes in high school
Step 2:
Pick a mug of your choice for you and your buddies. Pop it in a freezer for an hour to make sure that the brew becomes nice and frosty after you pour it. If you are a bottle drinker, just make sure your brew is nice and cold. Check out the Beer Fridges and Coolers post to help you decide what fridge you'll want for your birthday.
Step 3:
After you open your bottle of beer or pour it in your mug, squeeze a few drops of blue food colouring into the brew. Don't worry the food colouring is vegetable based and does not affect the taste of the brew. Blue food coloring achieves a better green than green food coloring when making Irish Green beer. This happens because beer is yellow, so when you add blue food coloring you will get a greener color than if you use green food coloring.
Note: Don't be to hasty with adding too much food colouring to your beer. You might find that the blue mixes in a lot quicker with the beer and you could end up with a very very dark green beer.
And remember!

October 18, 2009 The National Security Adviser and J Street
Commentary's Jennifer Rubin asks: what will National Security Adviser Jim Jones say at the upcoming J Street conference?
J Street is an anti-Israel group that poses as a pro-Israel group. J Street has close ties to higher-ups in the Obama administration. J Street has ties to George Soros-billionaire political kingpin, Obama supporter, and anti-Israel activist. J Street may even have an inner J Streeter in the White House troika of power players. J Street has an upcoming conference in Washington that showcases some of the most discreditable anti-Israel critics out there. Congressmen who initially were listed as hosts of the conference are dropping like flies as they learn the true nature of J Street. Yet, the Obama administration hopes to give a boost to the conference by lending it a prestigious keynote speaker in the National Security Adviser. There are reasons Haaretz (the New York Times of Israel) felt compelled to recognize the glaringly obvious in yesterday's article "Obama embraces J Street". But I digress. Back to the original question: what will Jim Jones say? I suspect that he will repeat what he said just last week at the American Task Force For Palestine shindig. He will demand a reopening of the crossings from Israel into the Gaza Strip. Memo to Jones: there are crossings open to allow a flow of food, medical supplies, and other humanitarian goods into the Gaza Strip. Other crossings were closed because Hamas and Islamic Jihad and other assorted terror groups have sent thousands of missiles into Israel. Also. Egypt shares a border with the Hamas-controlled Gaza. Why are demands not made of the Egyptians? What else might Jones say? He might also slander Israel by saying that there is a "humanitarian crisis" in the Strip: adopting the view of Hamas and various adversaries of our ally Israel who promote this bit of agitprop. There is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza. As aforementioned, food, medical supplies and other goods are entering at crossings that are secure. Any so-called humanitarian crisis can be laid at the hands of Hamas. Any other pronouncements to be expected? Yes -- one very significant one. Jones may very well put a stake in the teetering remains of the Road Map. This was a plan to bring peace between the Israelis and Palestinians formulated by a quartet of international entities: the US, the EU, Russia and the United Nations. The central principle of the plan was that reciprocal steps were to be taken by both the Israelis and Palestinians as steps towards a final peace agreement. They were confidence-building measures. The Road Map was all but eviscerated a few weeks ago and done in by a silencer. Dore Gold, Israel's former Ambassador to the United Nations noted the change:
Jones all but pronounced the Road Map dead when he called for a move to final status negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians without preconditions. Significantly, he made this policy change before a group of supporters of Palestinians. Now he will probably balance it by saying it in front of J Street. Of course, that is not true reciprocity because J Street is anything but pro-Israel. Not only were the carefully balanced reciprocity of the Road Map eliminated, but now the entire Road Map has been discarded. No preconditions means there are no obligations, no confidence-building measures at all required of the Palestinians or the Israelis. This has not been the first time, nor will it be the last time, the Obama administration breaks promises and agreements with allies -- whether made by the previous administration (and endorsed by our Congress) or ones made by Barack Obama himself (think missile defense).

Training for a charity trek to Machu picchu
(7 Posts)woo hoo! GP has signed for off as being 'fit' enought to do it. He wants to keep a check on my diabetes and do my blood tests about a month before I go but said that if I carry on with my exercise and healthy eating then I may even be able to reduce my medication before I go. I am so relieved as part of me thought he might say I wasn't up to it.
Did a 5k run/fast walk yesterday down a woody/hilly track and suffering a bit today
I've done MP - it was lovely! In the days before you had to be on an organised trip, so just me and DH.
I'd have thought that doing some long walks would be better preparation than short bursts at the gym, although the gym will obviously help with overall fitness. Long as in time taken, as you'll want to be able to plod happily all day; the distance you cover will increase the closer you get to the trek.
The advantage of a walk, rather than the gym, is that you can take the kids - great family weekend outings. Don't expect to get as far as you would without them, but it will make your trek seem all the easier when you don't have to worry about giving them snacks, climbing trees, looking at creepy crawlies, finding suitable toilet places, finding sticks, providing dry clothes etc etc etc.
We were in Peru for a fortnight; delicious food, and no stomach upsets. (Recommend going into the rainforest if you have a chance; best bit of a holiday ever.)
If your boots are 20 years old they're probably quite heavy, so you could gain from having newer, lighter ones.
I've never used poles, but know lots of people love them. Maybe borrow some, and see what you think.
onehand I'm hoping diabetes won't be a problem. I'm seeing my diabetic doctor next week (he is on holiday at the moment) and am keeping fingers crossed he will sign me off as ok. As its 'only' type 2 at this point I'm quite hopeful. I can understand why they wouldn't let type 1 diabetics go.
yay to the S & D. That will help me get to my goal weight
Sittingbull OMG, where is worse than MP? I thought that was up there as being the hardest (maybe Killy?)
I'm guessing if its like Jordan where we camped, we carried our own daypacks with us with our personal items, water, snacks etc and our luggage was transported on a truck. I've a really good pack I bought just before Jordan with a camel pack which I'll use again.
Am torn ref boots. I have some (old faithful) ones that I've had years. They've climbed Ayers Rock, been on safari in Kenya, trekked the Great Wall and Jordan last year. They are therefore very worn in but as they are 20 years old now I'm guessing it would be sensible to get some new ones pretty soon and break those in just in case.
Ref training, at the moment I'm trying to get to the gym 3 times a week (just back from 30 mins on treadmill and 45 mins zumba) and see my PT at least 1 hour a week so she will give me a lot of guidance. Nearer the time I'll start walking to the gym wearing my boots and with gym back in rucksack just to get used to it. A bit difficult at the moment to do more than x 3 pw with the kids but will up it seriously after Christmas.
As you've done MP I'd really value your opinion on whether I need walking poles? In Jordan some had and some didn't but I remember the tour guide saying if you have them you need to train with them well in advance.
I'm just a bit worried I think about how my health (diabetes) will affect me. It seems likely that I had diabetes when I did Jordan last year but just didn't know it. I think about all the high glucose drinks and snacks I had then which can't have done me much good. Will need to find what energy drinks/snack I can take that are low sugar!
Thanks both for your comments
I've done this one (and way way worse )
Are you doing the one where someone carries your pack for you or where you carry your own stuff ?
Either way the best way to prepare is walking walking walking - as much as you can.
First, get some very comfortable hiking boots. Go to an outdoor store ad take advantage of the people who work there and get them to advise and fit you. Nothing is more important than good boots. Nothing.
Next, where your boots in each walk - then by next may, they will be your best friend and comfy as slippers
Then, set a schedule for waking - say, one mile two times in week one, one mile three times in week two, two miles three times a week in week three, two miles twice in week four and one 4 mile hike, etc - gradually and sensible increase until you are walking 20 miles once a week with two smaller walks
You don't need to run to prepare - likely this will just harm you if you jump into running - walking briskly can increase your heart rate and do you just as much good as long as you keep up the pace - add in some hills and start carrying a backpack with a couple of house bricks and you are rocking along quite nicely
Good luck
I'm not an experienced trekker, although I did a fair bit of walking in New Zealand, but what a fabulous idea!
I would be interested to know if your diabetes is an issue, because I have another disease which I thought meant that I would never do this trek.
Having travelled a bit in Peru, I would say that diarrhoea and vomitting are very likely, so you may have difficulties if you find these very debilitating.
I would take up running for cardio fitness, do some resistance training for muscular strength, and if you are carrying your own packs, I would definitely do alot of practice walking with a heavy pack.
where do I start?
A bit in that I've finally signed up for this having thought about it for years.
I am not the fittest of people, in fact, I'd go as far to say I'm pretty unfit although I have been seeing a personal trainer once a week since February and she is pleased with my progress.
Its next May, so I have a bit of time but a lot of work to do. I'm probably about 2 - 2 1/2 stone overweight so that needs to go and I need to build on my existing routine (normally 1 hour pw with personal trainer and 2 x 45 mins sessions during the week).
Have to get a medical form signed by GP first and am hoping that there won't be any problems. Have to tick yes to a few of the things on the list but most of them were 10+ years ago and have done two treks since then. Did China 6 years ago and Jordan last year but they are apparently just a 'walk in the park' compared to MP. Only thing to change since last trek is that I now have diabetes and I'm hoping this won't be an issue. Only type 2 so keeping fingers crossed that they will let me go.
So, any advice from experienced trekkers? Have I aimed too high?

Brief About Kutch District Kutch (also Cutch or Kachh) is a district of Gujarat state in western India. It is the largest district of the state of Gujarat and the second largest district in India covering an area of 45,612 km2. The name Kutch apparently comes from the shape of the area which is shaped like a tortoise Kaachbo in Kutchi and Gujarati languages.
History Kutch was formerly an independent state, founded in 1270. It was ruled by the Hindu Jadeja dynasty. In 1815, Kutch became a British protectorate, and ultimately a princely state whose local ruler acknowledged British sovereignty in return for local autonomy. After Indian independence in 1947, Kutch became a state of India, and in 1956 was merged into Bombay state, which in 1960 was split to form the state of Gujarat. The earliest earthquake recorded in Kutch dates back to June 16, 1819. After the 1947 partition, Sindh province and the port of Karachi ended up in Pakistan, and the Indian Government constructed a modern port at Kandla in Kutch to serve as the main port for western India in lieu of Karachi. It became an Indian state in 1950. On November 1, 1956, Kutch became part of Bombay state, which in 1960 was divided into the new linguistic states of Gujarat and Maharashtra. The epicenter of 2001 Gujarat Earthquake was in this state. It was the most severe earthquake (out of more than 90 earthquakes) to hit Kutch in 185 years.
Geography The administrative headquarters of Kutch district is Bhuj. Kutch is virtually an island, bounded by the Arabian Sea to the west and the Gulf of Kutch, which separates Kutch from the Kathiawar peninsula, to the south and southeast, and by the Rann of Kutch, a huge wetland that forms the northern and eastern part of the region. Centuries ago the Rann of Kutch was an extension of the Arabian Sea. A range of hills runs east-west, parallel to the Gulf of Kutch. The border with Pakistan follows the northern edge of the Rann of Kutch, and the northeastern border with Pakistan along Sir creek is the subject of a border dispute.
Language The languages spoken predominantly in Kutch are Kutchi and Gujarati. The main tribe of people living in kutch are known as 'kanbis', although other tribes exist. A large portion of the kanbis from kutch migrated to Africa in the early 1960's and therafter to the United Kingdom.

Why Are There No Basements In San Diego Homes?
Experts Say Local Homes Could Have Basements If There Was Demand
Posted: 03/28/2012
Last Updated:

There are many theories as to why San Diego homes do not have what many other houses in the U.S. have -- basements.
» Sign Up For Breaking News Alerts» Like Us On Facebook» Follow Us On Twitter
While some believe earthquakes, the water table, or the type of soil in San Diego are reasons local houses don't have basements, 10News has learned the San Diego area's warm, mild weather is the actual reason."You get a saturated soil, then have it expand 9 percent under your house, you're house is shifting, it starts cracking, so the way you solve that problem is to dig a big basement," explains geologist Dr. Pat Abbott.In a warm climate like San Diego, frost -- if any -- only goes up to about a foot deep.However, in places like the Northeast part of the country, it can go more than 9 feet down. A basement with retaining walls and drainage protects the house from the freezing and thawing soil."Coming from the East, we relied on our basements," said La Jolla resident Rochelle Treger.In fact, basements are used for much more than storage in states like Maryland, Pennsylvania and Colorado; they are comfortable living spaces."Around here, I think it's kind of hard to find a house with a basement," said San Diego resident Bob Webster.Coldwell Banker realtor Shea Ealey said in 16 years of combined experience with his business partner, they've never seen a home with a basement.10News found something like a basement on Kew Terrace in South Park. It's a dirt floor storage cellar with outdoor access, more common in older homes like this one, which was built in 1945.Basements can be built in San Diego, but Abbott told 10News, "Economics pretty well dictates to not dig a basement."10News learned a no-frills, storage-only basement under a 2,000-square-foot house could cost an extra $50,000 to $80,000. That extra cost is why many homeowners end up storing items in the garage.Copyright Do you have more information about this story? Click here to contact usCopyright 2012 by 10News.com.

With one game, Jimmer Fredette made the basketball world go crazy.
by Bryan Crawford / @_BryanCrawford
While I don't necessarily consider myself a "basketball snob," meaning, I refuse to watch anything other than the NBA, admittedly, I don't watch very much college basketball anymore. Especially not like I used to. But if I ever needed a reason to watch NCAA hoops, then Jimmer Fredette is that reason.
While most of the country only recently started paying attention to his game, I've been familiar with Fredette for the past 3 years and have been watching closely for the past 2.
Most people "discovered" him during the NCAA Tournament last March when he dropped 37 points on Florida in double OT, advancing BYU past the first-round in the tournament for the first time in school history a very long time.
A few months later, I got to watch Fredette up close during the Nike Skills Academy. He was, in my opinion, easily one of the best players there.
During 5-on-5 half court drills, former NBA Head Coach, John Lucas, would oftentimes team him up with Kevin Durant and they would then proceeded to destroy the competition, most times in embarassing fashion.
During the camp both in drills and in live play, Fredette showed that he could effectively play on or off the ball. He could get his shot off from any distance in almost any situation and make it, no matter who was guarding him. He could get to the basket whenever he wanted and finish with either hand. He could create off the dribble both for himself and his teammates. And he made good decisions passing the ball.
All in all, after a couple of days of watching him compete against some of the best college players in the nation, and with and against one of the best players in the NBA in Durant, it never ocurred to me to try and find someone to compare him to, I just knew that Jimmer Fredette was for real and so far in his senior season at BYU, he's done nothing but confirm it.
On Wednesday night, the entire basketball world watched and was buzzing about the show he put on against San Diego State who was ranked No. 4 in the country and was undefeated coming into the game. He scored 43 points (his third 40 point outing in the last four games) despite going through several long stretches where he didn't score at all. But when he did get going, you noticed it. It wasn't a quiet 43 by any means.
Naturally, the conversation about Fredette turned into what kind of player he'll be at the NBA level and you know what that means: Who does he compare to?
The Twitterverse was all over it. So was every sports network and sports writer. And while some of the comparisons being made were sensible, some were just downright strange, and I wondered if this kid was so good that he was actually making reasonably sane people lose their minds!
Adam Morrison, JJ Redick, Steph Curry, Ray Allen, Mark Price, Chris Jackson aka Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (!)?
Still, it's an interesting discussion because as good as he is in right now, as we've seen many times before, success in college doesn't always carry over into the NBA.
But just for fun, let's look at some of the common comparisons that have been made and why they don't necessarily apply to "The Jimmer." We'll start with Adam Morrison.
Morrison was a very good college player who benefited from being in a system at Gonzaga that made him look much better than he really was. This system also did a very good job of hiding the fact that he had zero athleticism which would translate to him being nothing more than an average (at best) to below average NBA player. After being drafted No. 3 overall in 2006 by the Charlotte Bobcats (when has a Michael Jordan draft decision every produced a solid pro?), 4 years later he would wash out of the League.
He did get lucky enough to get a ring with the Lakers and if times get hard, he'll at least have something of value to sell.
JJ Redick was an absolute stud at Duke and he is the best shooter I've ever seen in college basketball. But like most Duke players, he too was a system guy. He operated mainly coming off screens and in spot up situations in college and even though he had unbelievable range, he didn't have the ball-handling skills or quickness to create his own shot.
Redick was drafted No. 11 by the Orlando Magic in 2006 – the same year as Morrison — and was mostly irrelevant his first few years in the League. He has gotten more playing time over the last two seasons and while he doesn't seem to shoot with the same accuracy at the NBA level that he did in college, he has worked hard and turned himself into a decent defensive player which is earning him minutes and will keep in the NBA.
Steph Curry was the man at Davidson. OK, he was Davidson. Not many college kids can say that LeBron James came to their games just to watch them play.
Steph did that.
He also led the nation in scoring his junior season and made a little school in North Carolina that no one had heard of or even cared about, which played in the tiny Southern Conference that no one had heard of or even cared about, into the talk of the basketball world.
After playing off the ball in his first two years of college, he decided to transition to the point guard position during his junior season since it was widely agreed upon that would be the position he would play in the NBA. But being that he was the first, second and third option at Davidson and playing with guys that nobody can remember now, his PG abilities were largely overstated.
Still, he was selected 7th overall by the Golden State Warriors in 2009 despite the team having a similar player in Monta Ellis.
While Curry is still an excellent shooter, he's not overly athletic and isn't all that great of a ball handler even though he does have the ability to create space with his dribble and get his own shot. But at his core, he's still an off-ball shooter and scorer who's at his best spotting up and coming off screens a la Redick, and it's just really hard to teach a guy like that to be an effective point guard on any level.
So how does Fredette differ from all three of these guys?
Well for starters, unlike Adam Morrison, he's most certainly going to last a lot longer than 4 years in the NBA just on the strength of being the better athlete and better all-around basketball player.
With regard to both Redick and Curry, Jimmer is a much better ball handler, is quicker, and he plays with more of an attack the basket mentality and has an ability to draw contact which will get him to the free throw line. His outside shooting ability is the only real similarity that he shares with JJ and Steph. And unlike Curry, he's been a point guard by position all his life.
As far as the comparisons to Ray Allen and Chris Jackson, those are just too ridiculous to even spend time on for various reasons. Nobody compares to "Jesus" and Mahmoud. Moving along…
Fredette was compared to Mark Price by your guy and mine, Ed The Sports Fan, and on the surface it seemed to make sense. I mean, both are white…
But seriously, Fredette is much bigger and stronger physically than Mark Price was and is also a better athlete too. Both shoot the ball very well, but Jimmer is the more natural scorer and Price was much more of a natural and traditional point guard with an ability to make shots. But that comparison is a sound one and certainly doesn't border on the ridiculous.
My own comparison of Fredette was to Ben Gordon.
Both are of the same build, share similar quickness and athletic ability, have great shooting range, and play with a bounce that they use as a means to get their shot off over just about anybody.
Gordon is more of a shooter and scorer and doesn't look to attack as much as he prefers to get his points from the perimeter. He isn't anything close to a point guard which obviously separates him from Fredette, but they both have a tight handle and nasty crossovers that they can use to either drive or create separation for the pull-up jumper. And each is a natural born scorer, that much is certain.
But the real question in all of this is: who does Jimmer Fredette compare himself to?
Surprisingly enough, he compares himself to Deron Williams. Maybe it's all off those Jazz games he's watched over the past 4 years living in Provo. Still, he may actually be on to something. Both are big, stocky guards that can score and know how to keep their teammates involved. They also have a good understanding and feel for when it's time to enforce their will and take over a game.
Fredette, of course, appears to be the better shooter, but their playing styles are similar and modeling his game after DWill's can only be considered a good thing and will serve him well in the long run.
When talking about The Jimmer and how his game translates to the next level, player comparisons for the most part are pretty much useless because everyone's game is different despite perceived similarities. And when talking about how Fredette projects as a pro, there are certainly more important and better questions that one should ask such as will he be able to defend at the NBA level or does he have the ability to run a team?
Additionally, the single most importact factor above all else lies with the team that drafts him.
If he gets into the right system, given his skillset and basketball IQ, he can flourish. If he doesn't, he'll most likely be buried on somebody's bench.
But if those factors still don't matter to you and you're the type that just has to compare him to someone, know that you only aid in solidifying the obvious…
Jimmer Fredette is a pro.

Chhipa sets up special Sehari, Iftar Dining Centres for the poor and travelers.
Service to the humanity is the best of all worships:
KARACHI. JULY 21, 2012: Eminent Human Rights Activist and Patron-in-Chief of The Chhipa Welfare Association (CWA), Ramzan Chhipa, has for the service of Muslims, set up special Ramadan Dining Facilities across the City, where Muslims keeping fast would be served free Sehari and Iftar. The Chhipa dastarkhawans that continued catering to the needs of the poor and deserving throughout the year, have now been converted into Ramadan Dining Centres.
Ramzan Chhipa has since day one of Ramadan, inspected the Chhipa Kitchen and expressed his satisfaction on ultra hygienic conditions and quality of food. On first Ramadan, needy people were served with quality food for Sehari and Iftar.
Ramzan Chhipa spent a busy day as he visited various Ramadan Dining Centres in the city, and had a chat with the diners at Chhipa Ramadan dining Centre for Sehari and Iftar. He listened to the problems of the poor and assured them of financial support.
He appreciated the Chhipa volunteers for their works regarding catering to the poor and deserving people under from the CWA platform.
It is pertinent to mention that CWA is the city's leading non-governmental organization that provides free ambulance services to the people of the city and also offers financial support to people on religious events. Besides these welfare works, CWA also provides free food twice a day to the poor, for which special dining centers have been set up in the nook and cranny of the city.
Ramzan Chhipa has in his special appeal to the rich said that they should come forward and join CWA in its efforts for addressing problems of the poor.
He appealed to the people asking them to donate to the cause of humanity with their Zakat, Fitra and charity and alms, so that CWA could look after the poor during Ramadan and offer Eid packages.

Villages are privately funded organizations that are often supported with member dues and funding from nonprofits. They provide services to seniors, usually with volunteers, that help them stay in their homes as they age. There are an estimated 55 village programs throughout the country and more than 100 in the planning stage. Services include home maintenance and repairs, transportation for shopping errands and appointments, social events, and discounted prices for local products and services. Here, Dori Li leads a Tai Chi class organized in Boston by Beacon Hill Village, one of the first and most extensive village programs.

Twelfth Plan Targets Rs. 3,23,000 cr for Highway sector Spend
The massive investment target of Rs. 3,23,000 cr announced by the government for the 12th Five Year Plan, more than double of the Rs. 1,52,201 cr spent during the previous plan period, is undoubtedly good news for the Indian construction and infrastructure industry. Private sector share in this development is also slated to rise from the current 41 per cent to 51 per cent i.e. from the present level of Rs. 62,630 cr to Rs. 1,66,738 cr.
The revision is based on increased interest for developing road projects shown by private builders as a result of which NHAI has been able to able to award 21 out of the 33 ongoing projects at a premium. Industry analysts expect that this will help NHAI reduce its projected market borrowings by half, and the authority now expects to have to generate only Rs 83,000 cr instead of the earlier target of Rs. 191,000cr by 2030-31.

#include <db_cxx.h> int DbEnv::open(const char *db_home, u_int32_t flags, int mode);
int DbEnv::open(const char *db_home, u_int32_t flags, int mode);
The DbEnv::open method is the interface for opening the Berkeley DB environment. It provides a structure for creating a consistent environment for processes using one or more of the features of Berkeley DB.
The db_home argument to DbEnv::open (and file name resolution in general) is described in Berkeley DB File Naming.
The flags argument specifies the subsystems that are initialized and how the application's environment affects Berkeley DB file naming, among other things.
The flags value must be set to 0 or by bitwise inclusively OR'ing together one or more of the following values.
As there are a large number of flags that can be specified, they have been grouped together by functionality. The first group of flags indicate which of the Berkeley DB subsystems should be initialized:
Access method calls are largely unchanged when using this flag, although any cursors through which update operations (e.g., Dbc::put, Dbc::del) will be made must have the DB_WRITECURSOR value set in the flags parameter to the cursor call that creates the cursor. See Db::cursor for more information.
The log is stored in one or more files in the environment directory. Each file is named using the format log.NNNNNNNNNN, where NNNNNNNNNN is the sequence number of the file within the log. For further information, see Log File Limits.
If the log region is being created and log files are already present, the log files are reviewed and subsequent log writes are appended to the end of the log, rather than overwriting current log entries.
The second group of flags govern what recovery, if any, is performed when the environment is initialized:
A standard part of the recovery process is to remove the existing Berkeley DB environment and create a new one in which to perform recovery. If the thread of control performing recovery does not specify the correct region initialization information (e.g., the correct memory pool cache size), the result can be an application running in an environment with incorrect cache and other subsystem sizes. For this reason, the thread of control performing recovery should either specify correct configuration information before calling the DbEnv::open method, or it should remove the environment after recovery is completed, leaving creation of the correctly sized environment to a subsequent call to DbEnv::open.
All Berkeley DB recovery processing must be single-threaded, that is, only a single thread of control may perform recovery or access a Berkeley DB environment while recovery is being performed. As it is not an error to specify DB_RECOVER for an environment for which no recovery is required, it is reasonable programming practice for the thread of control responsible for performing recovery and creating the environment to always specify the DB_RECOVER flag during startup.
The DbEnv::open function returns successfully if DB_RECOVER or DB_RECOVER_FATAL is specified and no log files exist, so it is necessary to ensure all necessary log files are present before running recovery. For further information, consult db_archive and db_recover.
The third group of flags govern file naming extensions in the environment:
Finally, there are a few additional, unrelated flags:
This flag should not be specified if more than a single process is accessing the environment, as it is likely to cause database corruption and unpredictable behavior, e.g., if both a server application and the Berkeley DB utility db_stat will access the environment, the DB_PRIVATE flag should not be specified.
On UNIX systems, or in IEEE/ANSI Std 1003.1 (POSIX) environments, all files created by Berkeley DB are created with mode mode (as described in chmod(2)) and modified by the process' umask value at the time of creation (see umask(2)). The group ownership of created files is based on the system and directory defaults, and is not further specified by Berkeley DB. If mode is 0, files are created readable and writeable by both owner and group. On Windows systems, the mode argument is ignored.
The DbEnv::open method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.
The DbEnv::open method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for the following conditions:
The DB_THREAD flag was specified and spinlocks are not implemented for this architecture.
The DB_HOME or TMPDIR environment variables were set but empty.
An incorrectly formatted NAME VALUE entry or line was found.
The DbEnv::open method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods. If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DbEnv::open method may fail and either return DB_RUNRECOVERY or throw an exception encapsulating DB_RUNRECOVERY, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way.

Fall 2008 Newsletter WELCOME to our third issue of the Pediatric Specialists newsletter. Autumn Health Flu (influenza) DEFINITION: Influenza (the flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. Symptoms of flu include high fever, cough, headache, fatigue, sore throat, nasal congestion, muscle aches, and occasionally stomach symptoms (nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea). In the US, about 5% – 20% of the population gets the flu each year. More than 200,000 people are hospitalized with complications of the flu, and about 36,000 people die annually from the flu. Young children and children with health conditions like asthma or heart disease are at high risk for serious flu complications. These complications can include pneumonia, ear infection, sinus infection, or dehydration. Flu viruses can spread from person to person by coughing or sneezing or by touching something with flu virus on it then touching one's mouth or nose. Someone who has the flu is contagious from one day before symptoms appear to 5 days after becoming symptomatic. FLU VACCINE: The best way to prevent the flu is to be vaccinated each year. The ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) recommends flu vaccine for all children from 6 months to 19 years with high priority given to children 6 months to 5 years and those with asthma or other chronic health conditions. Yearly flu vaccination begins in September and continues through January and beyond. There are 2 types of flu vaccine: The "flu shot" – a killed virus (inactivated) vaccine given with a needle, available to anyone 6 months and up. Not recommended for children with egg allergy. The nasal spray flu vaccine – a vaccine given as a nasal spray, made with live, weakened flu viruses that do not cause the disease. Approved for people 2 years – 49 years old. Not recommended for children with asthma. or for those with a condition that weakens their immune system. Flu clinics: We have set up evening clinics staffed by our nurses to administer flu vaccine to any of our patients who are interested. Children who come to the clinic must be free of illness on the clinic date and should wear short sleeves for ease of administration of vaccine. An appointment may be made by calling our office. Scheduled flu clinics are on the following evenings (flu vaccine may also be given at regularly scheduled well check-ups):
Safety: "Back to Sleep" October is SIDS Awareness Month. Although the rates of Sudden Infant Death (SIDS) have declined sharply since 1993 in conjunction with the promotion of putting babies to sleep on their backs. Still, SIDS remains one of the leading causes of infant mortality in this country. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC agree on the following safe sleep guidelines for infants:
Back-to-school Safety
The return to school is a great time to focus on safety issues with your child. Many of these are addressed in school, but repetition helps your child to remember what to do. Discuss stranger safety with your child. Have a plan of what he or she should do if approached by a stranger and how to get help. Use simple language. Be direct. Be serious.
Reassure your child that not all people are out to get him or her, but that we can't tell who is and who isn't. We need to practice stranger safety in all situations and locations. Consider lining up emergency contacts and make your child aware of whom these emergency contacts are. Set a password or pass phrase to be used by the emergency contact and your child in the event that someone other than you needs to pick your child up from school or activities. Also, reinforce the meaning of appropriate and inappropriate touching. Empower your child to say no when uncomfortable and to tell you about any of these situations. Another issue to discuss and reinforce is the use of safety helmets. Since 2004, it has been a MA law that anyone under the age of 16 riding a bicycle, scooter, skateboard, or in-line skates wears a helmet. These can prevent severe and debilitating head injuries. Be firm in the expectation for helmet use and model this behavior if riding yourself. Also, if a helmet has been involved in a crash, it should be replaced as each helmet is designed to absorb the shock of an impact only once. Back-to-school also signals the start of the fall sports season. Check to see that all safety equipment including pads, helmets, and footwear fits and functions properly. Mouth guards can absorb some of the impact of collisions in contact sports and can help to limit the severity of both mouth and head injuries.
Be proactive. Be open. Be safe this school year.

Question: My child takes medication for ADHD. Does he need to have an EKG done?
Answer: You may have noticed recent media reports suggesting that children who take stimulant medicine for attention deficit disorder need to have an EKG done. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that a screening EKG be done if "the patient's history, family history or the physical examination raise concern." Children on medication for attention deficit disorder are monitored by regular medication checks in our office every 3-4 months. If you have concerns about this issue please discuss them with your health care provider at your next visit. Question: How do I teach my infant the concept of "no?" Answer: Infants as young as 9 months old should learn the concept of "no" for several reasons. Learning this concept helps them learn what behavior is acceptable; helps demonstrate to them that they are a separate person from you; helps them learn to stop a behavior when told to do so; and helps them learn how to problem solve and be creative. You can teach your 9 month old infant this concept by using the following tips:
Question: Will my child need shots at his next check-up? Answer: OOPS! Although we may have promised "no shots until 12 years old" our recommendations have changed in line with the current American Academy of Pediatrics and Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommendations. All children 7 – 18 years old who have previously received one dose of the chicken pox vaccine (Varivax) will now need to get a booster dose. This second dose of vaccine will help prevent breakthrough chicken pox which has continued to occur in some children who have only received a single dose of the vaccine. We also are now recommending that a meningitis vaccine (Menactra) be given once for children between 11 and 18 years old. This vaccine was previously recommended prior to college entry but is now recommended at a younger age. For girls between 11 and 21, we now offer the HPV vaccine (Gardasil). This vaccine is given as a 3 dose series over a period of 6 months. As mentioned in the article on influenza above, we are also recommending Flu vaccine for all children between 6 months and 18 years old. As always all vaccines will be reviewed and discussed by your health care provider at every well child visit.
