Here is my situation...I think I know what I am going to say but I thought I would get some opinions. My family just moved to Indy this summer and I know that 4 yo ds is having a semi-hard time, except that I am now a SAHM and that is helping. One thing that is happening is that he is "re-attaching" so strongly with me, that he is sometimes excluding dad. At first we were understanding of this, but now he is saying DAD can't be a part of story time. We have always read stories together on the couch before bed as a family. I really don't know about this. He will say "I want to be alone with my mommy." The first night, we decided not to make a big deal about it, but then he said it again last night too. Our thinking is that, he wouldn't be allowed to exclude dad from the dinner table....and we see story time as family time. I would always allow him special time other times, but it really is as if he is trying to exclude dad for some reason.

This is totally normal. Normal, normal, normal. Don't worry!
I don't think it is right to give in to this kind of demand, because it is simply unfair. In life it is unfair to demand someone else sacrafice for our own moodiness towards them. If we don't like them we need to be the one who leaves.
However, a child won't understand that if you just say it. Because the child's feelings are very real to them, and they are just being honest in what they are expressing, I think it is wrong and ultimately futile to *tell* them they are unfair or to tell them "Daddy is allowed to be here as much as you are and you can't ask him to leave." No child will have a change of heart because you told them too. They will just sit there furious and thinking "That big jerk is ruining my time with mommy".
I think the easiest way to diffuse this kind of emotional tug of war without making too much of it or giving in, is too promote some empathy for the unpopular parent, like "Oh, poor daddy, now he is going to be so sad if he can't hear a story too!". This usually works very well.
If not, and the child is still insisting they leave, you could just say sadly "Well I will miss daddy to much if he isn't here, that will make me too sad, so he has to stay for the story too or I would be too sad to read it".
This may not be the answer the child wanted but it is often enough to let them accept the situation with dad there too.
It allows them some empathy for mom, if not dad, and that is a start is the right direction. Ultimately we want our child to understand empathy and fairness; not just suffer the presence of dad with resentment and anger.

But what if the child is still adamant that dad not be included? The promoting empathy lines that heartmama suggests can be honest expressions of mom's feelings about the situation- it is important to be honest about what a person thinks and to communicate that- but then is mom going to refuse to read if child insists that dad not be included? Wouldn't be not having empathy for the child?

Thanks for the replies..I think the two posts so far describe exactly what is going on my head. What I am thinking so far is that no, ds does not have the right to exclude daddy... Should I tell him this afternoon that while Dad is at a work we can a story alone together...but we will not let him exclude dad at story time tonight? It really is unfair to Dad and dads feelings really are hurt. I think a lot of this comes cuz he is mad that Dad doesn't play with him as much as it SEEMS like he used to (cuz I am home all the time now, we used to get home all at the same time, including ds). At first I gave in because I was placing the feelings of Ds first, but as a family are we not entitled to equal rights at having our needs met.....
Member posted 08-27-2001 09:06 AM
I think I would talk about how everybody feels and then tell him that this is family story time. If he doesn't want family story time, fine, we will do something else (no story). If he wants story time alone with Mom, we will have that when Daddy isn't home.
I wouldn't let my kids exclude each other, I'm not going to let them exclude their Dad either. And important as it is to respect a child's feelings, when there is a decision to be made and you can't reach an agreement, it should be the adult who makes the decision! (What if he wanted ice cream for every meal?)
Member posted 08-27-2001 09:47 AM
Well, he does want Ice cream for every meal... But thats another issue (JK). I guess I am a little oversensitive about his feelings right now, but I think you are right. When he gets upset the first thing he wants to do is EXCLUDE. I even see this as a problem that he has with other kids. He is kind of controlling and his brother (9) doesn't like to play with him because he wants everyone to play his way, his ideas. When his feelings are hurt the first thing he wants to do is take it out on some one else...hurt some one else's feelings. Just a couple of weeks ago we went through this peroid where everytime he was mad at me he would take it out on the neighbor kid (who is 3 so easier to take it out on than me)...we had a lot of talks about Anger and whats okay and lots of stuff and he is no longer being aggresive, but it seems like he is still projecting *stuff* on to others in a different way....

I think in this situation it is context. This is a family story time, and the mom is happy to read to the child alone at other times of the day. This child knows what everyone expects from this time together (ie. to be together). His request is clearly emotional and sincere, and I hope I made it clear that I would avoid telling him point blank he is being unfair or not to talk to daddy like that. I would listen and validate how he felt. I would defintely try to appeal to his sense of empathy, even if only for the mom, in part because it is a way to let the child have their feelings and also have the chance to enjoy the storytime.
IMO however, the request is ultimately unfair. Whether it is daddy or the doggy, if this time is family time, it is for the entire family to attend. I don't think it is at all helpful or healthy for the child to actual *get* to kick dad out. Likewise, I strongly disagree with parents who do this with children ie. if you don't stop that, you can't have dessert with the rest of us. What is important is to get to express how he feels, and then have an opportunity to see the request is unfair, without being made to feel bad for how he feels.
He does not have to change how he feels about dad, but he also does not, IMO get to treat dad unfairly. If the child would really not accept any kind or loving opportunity to let go of his unfair request, I would explain that this time is for the family, and anyone who wants to be there in the family can stay for the story. Then I would read it. Most likely, I would guess the child is going to either leave in tears or stay and be distruptive. In either case, I would handle that however you normally handle those situations, and continue with the story.
In situations where there is no special purpose to the time together, I would be much more willing to accomodate this kind of request. Ie. when ds wants me to read to him at bedtime and not daddy, that is fine.
If I remember right you are into tcc? I would think then that you would agree that normally a child who is really being unfair *will* accept a change of heart when others lovingly point out how the request is hurtful to them, and they can sense that the request will be too harmful if carried out to warrant contiuing to demand for it. Children know when they cross emotional lines with others, if not immediately they know it when the hurt person explains how they feel. If daddy is really sad to be excluded, and mom would really be sad to see him go, I think most kids will accept that and let the storytime proceed. Don't you??

Well, in case any one is interested, Story Time went off wonderfully last night.
I told him yesterday afternoon that I was really worried about Daddy's feelings and that he was really missing having story time with us. at first he reacted like *Too Bad..Nothing's Changing* Then I told him about how sad that made me because I really enjoyed the times we get to spend together as a family...and couldn't we find some time to read alone together this afternoon? I really like reading alone too.
It worked! And the whole conversation seemed to turn around what ever it was he was holding against Dad. Last night he moved Dad's chair really close to his at dinner,they played like old pals all night, and we all cuddled up to some great stories together.
In bed he talked about how much he enjoyed all the times we read together that day, including with his friend from next door...then he added "I really learned a lot from all that reading." I couldn't help but give him the biggest hug and kiss ever!
P.S. what is IMO ?

IMO=In My Opinion
How great!! No more storytime blue's. Thank goodness this worked, and it didn't come to having to end storytime or ds in tears over Daddy being there. This works well with ds too.
Suzan...sorry I ment TCS not TCC. My mistake!
Member posted 08-28-2001 09:56 AM
Well, *IMO* I love it when stuff like this happens. Sometimes I think ds just wants to know whats okay and whats not. I really don't think he likes it when we *let* him be hurtful to others. Today for instance, he just seems less stressed out and more compassionate than he did even yesterday. Thanks to everyone who shared their opinions here! I already can't wait to read stories tonight (we already had one "alone stroy time today!") PEACE to ALL

Sounds like you found a common preference- a solution that everyone is happy with. It's a great conflict resolution skill, where everyone can be respectful of their selves and each other, and get what they want. Honest communication. Cool!

Up until the time he was arrested, Livedoor President Takafumi Horie was considered the standard-bearer for the new spirit of entrepreneurship in Japan. Since the arrest and the attendant media scrutiny, the idea of venture businesses has changed.
These changes are discussed on TV Tokyo's business-oriented series "Gaia no Yoake" (The Dawn of Gaia; Tues., 10 p.m.). The new trend in venture businesses leans away from money-making schemes and toward social entrepreneurship, whose aim is to contribute something to society. The difference between this new model of social responsibility and the old one is that the old one was mainly based on a volunteer spirit, while the new one is run like a business, even if it's in the form of a nonprofit organization.
The program looks at several social entrepreneurs, including one 27-year-old former IT venture capitalist who is now the president of an NPO that provides day-care services for chronically ill children, a specialized need that even the government hasn't addressed.
Ken Watanabe, Hollywood's favorite Japanese actor at the moment, plays against type in the original two-hour drama, "Hoshi Hitotsu no Yoru" (A Night of One Star; Fuji, Fri., 9 p.m.), as a concert hall custodian named Nonoyama.
One night after a performance, Nonoyama is cleaning the auditorium when he finds a man's coat with 500,000 yen in cash and an envelope. He brings the coat and the money to the address on the envelope. The owner, a man named Taiki (Hiroshi Tamaki), is a day trader who didn't really notice that he was missing all that money. When he offers Nonoyama 200,000 yen as a reward, the custodian says, "Don't insult me," and walks away.
Taiki spends all day in front of the computer and has almost no human contact. He can't stop thinking about Nonoyama, whom he recognizes as a fellow loner. The next day he goes to the concert hall to seek him out, and he later discovers why Nonoyama has cut himself off from society.
Popular playwright Ai Nagai has adapted her theater piece, "Konnichiwa Kasan (Hello, Mother)," into a multipart television drama that will air on NHK-G every Saturday night at 9 p.m. for the next four weeks. The first part airs on May 26.
Mitsuru Hirata plays Akio, who visits his mother (Haruo Kato) for the first time in two years. He's surprised to see how much she's changed: dyed hair, youthful clothing, a job as a volunteer, and even a boyfriend.
Mitsuru doesn't like the change, but he has other things to worry about. The morning after he arrives at his mother's home, an employee at the company where he is in charge of restructuring, tracks him down and begs not to be laid off. It just so happens that his mother's work colleagues are visiting at the same time.

Two of the company's subsidiaries on Monday said they have reached forbearance agreements with a majority of holders of a combined $770-million in senior subordinated notes due in 2015. But Masonite remains in negotiations with bank lenders over extending another forbearance agreement that expired last week. Masonite, which is owned by corporate buyout giant Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts & Co., said it had about $205-million in cash on hand as of Nov. 11.

A Shift Into Enlightenment
I just wanted to share my latest blog post. It's about how I managed to shift into non-dual awareness.
You're not who you think you are...
Hi, please check out my facebook page for more insight on who you really are...
<3 me.
I can make the body move whenever I want.
Quick update. Posted 1 year ago. Been looking for non dual enlightenment for 6 years now. Have read online, watched on youtube, done self-inquiry untill I just drop on the ground exhausted, staring at a white wall, desperate....and discarding every thought that passes by. Seeking hurts. I can't understand this with thought. And still experiments go on and on and on. Seeking, desperation, seeking, dropping, seeking, letting go, seeking, wishing nothing. I reached a low point in seeking. There were glimpses of that everything was happening by itself and during the day also see that most of the thought arise by themselves. Attention and intention and little movement. All ok. Same with walking. No effort in walking. BUt then the ego comes back and the non-I thing is lost because my experience is that I can make the body move whenver I want.
All experiments during the last 3 years are like this:
- thought arises that says 'I can raise my hand up in the air whenever I want'
Sometimes the hand doesn't get lift up. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it is seen that intention is happening by itself. Proyecting consciously in the head that the hand is gonna move up is happening by itself. And then the slight second of doubt during the action. After thought says 'I have done ít'. Sometimes there is no after thought when It seems that the hand is moving up without effort.

By special request: The request for this story to be posted was made by someone who attended satsang the day of this recording, and was deeply touched by the story of the king. Also included in this video is the preceding dialogue; from the uncut DVD "Drop Yourself".
"Even the imagined life stands on the support of the universal support; but in the mind of consciousness, if it believes itself to be an individual, "doing", it comes into the dream of karma... The push, the impulse, of consciousness is to undress itself in this body of its dreaming. It's tired of sleep, it's tired of nightmares, it's tired of suffering!" (Mooji)
PS: the day after posting this video to YouTube, I received this message on Facebook from another friend who attended satsang when this video was recorded: "The next day a note came to Mooji with a question: ' why did you cry when telling the story yesterday ?' " "Because I was happy" said Mooji
Contemplate This! ~ Mooji
The following is a write-up copied/pasted from Mooji's website [http://www.mooji.org]:
Mooji highly recommendeds the video, "Contemplate This!", as one of the clearest pointers to the everlasting truth.
Mooji says, "I want serious seekers to study this video, contemplate its message and discuss their findings with me the next time we have an opportunity to meet."
NEW! - What are we? Phenomena? Stories? or Neither? - A Clarification on how we share - audio
Hi ALL,
I will get to those direct blow "you" away audios and really looking for a bunch of video sharings to arise as well. However for now, I think this new audio sharing has it's place to alleviate the mind a little when it finds contradictory nondual sharings that all make sense somehow! lol
This audio just skirts that a little, (not heavily specifically targeted) but I think can be of enormous clarity if your mind gets to wrapped up in the subtle or outright differences that arise as different nondual like sharings.... enjoy this explanative (also potentially mind blowing) perspective!
In order to listen.... please do go to my homepage at
and specifically under my picture is.... the new audio entitled...

AWARENESS ~ A Video Satsang Dialogue with Mooji
A satsang dialogue with Mooji about Awareness.
"Everything has its source in the Awareness itself." (Mooji)
Pure Seeing
Whatever arises
does so now, here,
grace to Pure Awareness,
perceivable only
as many "times"
as attention was
denied, ignored or
put elsewhere
resting as this
Heart of
Pure Awareness.
So many chances
each day
to look directly
at what arises.
No need to go back
to old stories,
attachments, wounds,
Just pure seeing,
then directing
to the subtle witness
that projects
these images
onto the movie screen
one by one
until only
pure seeing
in this dream
of otherness,
lucid dreaming
Grace's wakeful
Heart present-ness.
The subtle witness
and its myriad arisings,
no matter what their form,
appearance, appeal, resistance,
always one and the same,
both void of
intrinsic reality,
empty in and of themselves
as Pure Awareness
is All.
Embracing them
via pure seeing,
their sting
peacefully dissolves,
the little wave
surrenders onto the shore
and knows itself
as water again as
the sun ray is
representative of
all pervading
as Heart Awareness
right here,
right now
where clouds
seemed to veil
our eternal
Silent Seeing
Silent Seeing
Silent Seeing is the transparency of Awareness that looks without judgement. It sees the games of the small mind which wants to feel superior through separation.
Silent Seeing is the full Emptiness, sometimes called Buddha Mind or Christ Consciousness. It is before time the timeless one Light of Now in which all names and forms dissolve.

Judge throws out petition to remove Armando Villalobos from office
Wed, 30 May 2012 15:50:30 GMT —
A state judge has dismissed a citizen's attempt to remove a South Texas district attorney under federal indictment for corruption charges, but suggested the prosecutor should step down temporarily.
Visiting Senior Judge J. Manuel Banales told attorney Juan Angel Guerra on Wednesday that his client's petition had failed to meet the state's requirements.
Cameron County District Attorney Armando Villalobos was being targeted under a Texas law that allows some residents to submit a petition to a district court seeking the elected official's removal.
Villalobos is accused of taking more than $100,000 in bribes and kickbacks in exchange for using his prosecutorial discretion.
He was indicted earlier this month as part of a yearslong investigation that netted a guilty plea from former state District Judge Abel Limas and other court officials.

Episode Title: "A Place in This World"
Writer: Brent Fletcher
Director: Jesse Warn
Previously on "Spartacus: Vengeance":
In the past, we see a young Oenomaus fight for his life in a slave fight and he emerges the victor because of his unrelenting fury. Sensing greatness within Oenomaus, Titus Batiatus (Jeffrey Thomas) agrees to purchase him, beginning Oenomaus' lifelong association with the House of Batiatus. In the present, Oenomaus (Peter Mensah) fights in a underground gladiatorial battle. And when Oenomaus he emerges triumphant, he insists that the next fighter AND his opponent be sent to face him next, as he clearly longs for a death in battle.
Meanwhile, Spartacus (Liam McIntyre) and Crixus (Manu Bennett) storm a Roman villa and they easily overpower the guards before seizing the Dominus of the house. Spartacus offers the house slaves a choice: remain oppressed by the Romans or join Spartacus and his men. Crixus then takes the Dominus aside and violently interrogates him about the fate of his lover, Naevia (Cynthia Addai-Robinson). After learning that Naevia is being passed from Dominus to Dominus as a sex slave, Crixus brutally murders his captive.
In the ensuing celebration, Spartacus and Crixus' forces treat the villa as if it is their own, much to the disgust of both leaders. Mira (Katrina Law) befriends one of the beautiful female slaves, who makes Mira question her position as anything other than a sexual companion for Spartacus. In bed, Mira lightly tries to get Spartacus to admit his love for her and he offers as much affirmation as he can. One of the newly freed slaves, Tiberius then attempts to murder Spartacus before he is disarmed.
But rather than execute Tiberius or forcibly conscript him, Spartacus opts to train Tiberius with a sword and let him make his own choice about his future. Meanwhile, Gaius Claudius Glaber (Craig Parker) is upset that his men have been unable to locate Spartacus after being humiliated by Spartacus' attack in the public market. A less crazed Lucretia (Lucy Lawless) enters the room and she tells Glaber that the Gods require a sacrifice to cleanse the house and earn their favor. Looking for any advantage, Glaber agrees and sets his wife, Ilithyia (Viva Bianca) to bring Lucretia to the market for whatever she needs the next day.
Unfortunately for Glaber, his attempt to forge an alliance with Seppius (Tom Hobbs) to get enough men to take on Spartacus' forces is met with naked contempt from the younger man, who seems fully aware that Ilithyia fled the House of Batiatus immediately before the massacre and that she left Lucretia and her husband to die. In the past, we see Titus try to instruct the younger Oenomaus about fighting with a purpose and Titus urges him to find one of his own. Years later, the older Oenomaus is branded into the brotherhood and he pledges to fight for the honor of the House of Batiatus. Touched by his devotion, Titus says that the honor is his.
In the market place, Ilithyia is unnerved by Lucretia's growing lucidity and her slowly returning memory. Ilithyia is also annoyed that the people now see Lucretia as someone who has been blessed by the Gods and they ask her for blessings of their own. While Seppia ( Hanna Mangan Lawrence) taunts Ilithyia over the turn of events, a hooded stranger hands Lucretia a note. Back in the pits, Oenomaus tells the fightmaster to keep sending him opponents until one of them can put him down. It seems that the time has finally come when Oenomaus can no longer protect himself, but the hooded stranger barges in on the fight and captures Oenomaus.
Back at the villa, Mira comes across one of the Gauls raping her new blonde slave friend, but Mira is shocked to learn that the encounter was consensual and she is shaken by the accusation that she is little more than Spartacus' woman. That night, a Roman scouting party is seen riding towards the villa. Rather than risk letting any scouts get away and reveal their position, Spartacus and his forces hide within the villa while instructing Tiberius to convince the scouts that his master is simply away in another city in search of whores.
At first the ruse appears to work, but Tiberius asks the scouts to stay for refreshment. Thinking that they have been betrayed, Crixus launches the attack on the scouts and Spartacus follows. In the melee, Tiberius saves Spartacus from a Roman sword by killing a scout himself. After the fight, Tiberius says that the scouts saw that his slave collar was gone and would have returned with more soldiers. Tiberius also rechristens himself as Nasir, a name his brother once called him.
Back at the former House of Batiatus, Lucretia begins the ritual sacrifice. Ilithyia senses a chance to murder her rival without too much suspicion, but her attempt is interrupted by the arrival of the hooded stranger, who reveals himself to be Ashur (Nick Tarabay) before presenting a captive Oenomaus to Glaber. Lucretia praises the Gods for hearing her prayers, but she silently acknowledges Ashur while grasping the note he passed her earlier.
In this week's episode of "Spartacus: Vengeance," the title character may have planted the seeds of his own downfall.
I think that in his heart, Spartacus is an optimist. Even in the face of Tiberius' attempt to kill him, Spartacus went out of his way to allow the younger man to make his own choices and he also trained him with a sword. Spartacus was also adamant that his forces not intimidate the house slaves into joining their cause and he dismissed Crixus and Agron's suggestions as being too Roman.
In short, Spartacus seems to really believe that his higher ideals will give him an army willing to fight out of loyalty rather than fear. An army built on inner strength rather than intimidation. It's a laudable goal, but one that is probably doomed to fail.
Tiberius is clearly not to be trusted, even if it appeared that he saved Spartacus' life in the melee. Crixus was probably right when he pointed out that Tiberius only acted when it was clear that Spartacus' men would win the fight. Tiberius may have reclaimed his Syrian name, Nasir, but he strikes me as being the next Ashur. At some point, Nasir is bound to stab Spartacus in the back, either literally or figuratively. And if it happens that way, Spartacus brought it on himself by sparing the little s***.
Speaking of Syrians, Ashur made his welcome return this week as Lucretia's collaborator. That meeting in the market place between the two probably wasn't as random as they tried to make it seem. And it raises the question of how long Ashur and Lucretia have been working together. Given Lucretia's rapidly improving mental state, I'm also wondering how much of her madness is a feint to keep Ilithyia from realizing just how much she remembers about the night of the massacre.
The best parts of the episode dealt with Oenomaus' flashbacks to his youth, and it was good to see Jeffrey Thomas back once again as Titus Batiatus. Oenomaus may have been Titus' slave, but it's now understandable why he held the House of Batiatus in such high regard. Titus may have been the only man to regard Oenomaus with any kindness and genuine affection. While Quintus Batiatus was a master bulls***er, Titus seemed completely sincere when he told Oenomaus that he was honored by his devotion.
I'm hoping that Crixus' search for Mira doesn't drag out too long. The recent season of "The Walking Dead" should serve as a cautionary tale for anyone trying to extend a story long past its expiration date. The one really endearing thing about that arc is that Spartacus continuously demonstrates his devotion to helping Crixus find his lost love. Even Spartacus' explanation to Agron about it felt perfectly in character for him. Spartacus is truly the most noble person on this show.
But that's a quality that may someday be the death of him.

The involvement of around 30 extra police from other parts of the UK for the World Police and Fire Games here makes a mockery of the decision to abolish the Full-Time Reserves, an MLA has claimed.
Assistant Chief Constable Alistair Finlay announced on Tuesday that 30 dog handlers from other UK police forces will be flown in to help with security at the event next month.
Police said the extra police are necessary to deal with the threat posed by dissident republicans.
But TUV leader Jim Allister said the news that extra police are to be used again, so soon after the Twelfth riots and the G8 Summit shows the PSNI does not have sufficient resources for such large-scale events.
"While I am supportive of utilising experienced police officers from other UK forces, the PSNI reliance during the G8, 12th July Parades and now the World Police and Fire Games raises serious questions about PSNI operational capability," said Mr Allister.
The anti-Agreement Unionist hit out at the DUP for, as he said, not maintaining their pledge to ensure the Full Time Reserve police force was kept in place.
"The reduced capability of the PSNI can be traced back to the disastrous implementation of the Patten Report and the abolition of the Full Time Reserve. Jeffrey Donaldson once claimed the retention of the Full Time Reserve was a pre-condition for the devolution of Policing and Justice 'because not only will the DUP not agree to it but the public confidence will not be there to make it happen. That is absolutely clear'.
"In his words it categorically was a 'deal-breaker'. But like so many other 'deal-breakers' the pledge to retain the FTR was quickly abandoned by the DUP as they fell over themselves to accommodate the demands of Sinn Fein.
"The reality is this – Northern Ireland is still at severe risk of terrorist attack and the Full Time Reserve was essential in supplementing the PSNI ranks at times when they were under strain.
"TUV was consistent in its support for the retention of the Full Time Reserve, it is a great shame that another Unionist party's support disappeared when it became politically expedient to do so."

The implementation is really just a very thin wrapper around Data.(Int)Map. To implement the modules I copied Data.Set, and rewrote each function and adjusted the documentation here and there (changing set to multiset, etc.). The implementation is mostly straight forward. A random example: findMin = fst . Map.findMin . unMS The difference with Daan's MultiSet is that mine is more 'modern', it has the same interface of Data.Set. This means some minor differences (e.g. 'singleton' instead of 'single') and some additional functions such as maxView. DData's multiset also lacks Ord, Data and Typeable instances. Twan

Ng, Yew Choo (2009) Synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic studies of CdS incorporated titanosilicate for hydrogen generation. Masters thesis, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Science.
- Submitted Version
Restricted to Repository staff only
This study relates to a development of heterogeneous solid catalyst, Engelhard titanosilicate (ETS-10) supported cadmium sulfide (CdS) for water splitting reaction to generate hydrogen under visible light irradiation. Highly crystalline truncated bipyramid shape of ETS-10 was successfully synthesized with the molar composition of TiO2:3.75SiO2:1.5NaOH:0.54KF:21.25H2O at 220oC for 52 hours. The as-synthesized CdS crystallized at the size of approximately 8 nm in the cubic structure with the lattice constant a=0.5818 nm and reflection peaks of (111), (220) and (331) lattice planes. The effect of the synthesis route of CdS, the effect of percentage loading of CdS and reusability of the catalysts towards water splitting were also reported. The conduction edge of the photocatalyst was found to be more negative than H+/H2 redox potential. The highly crystalline phases of photocatalyst were able to prevent a charge recombination leading to enhancement in the hydrogen production yield. The existence of co-catalyst (ETS-10) in the catalytic system induces reduction of water and increases the efficiency of charge separation. The hybrid photocatalyst was found to be more stable and do not undergo photo-corrosion. CdS derived from in-situ sulphur reduction method (CdS-IS) performed better than CdS derived from reverse micelle method (CdS-RM). For 0.1 g of catalyst, the average rate of reaction for the first 5 hours was found to be 68.69 µmol/hr and 49.05 µmol/hr for CdS-IS and CdS-RM respectively. Besides, the results showed that the higher the percentage of CdS loaded on ETS-10, the higher amount of hydrogen gas liberated. The reusability of the photocatalysts was demonstrated in three cycles and the hydrogen gas evolved slightly decreased with the number of the reusability.

HAMEL, PETER E., retired from active farming and living at 912 South East Street, was born in Knox County, Ohio, April 10, 1833, son of William and Rosanna (Ely) Hamel, the father being a native of Somerset County, Pa., born November 21, 1807, and the mother, of Washington County, the same State. They moved to Ohio in 1814, and in October 1850, the family located in Morgan County and purchased a farm of 240 acres eight miles southwest of Jacksonville. The father was engaged in farming until within a few years of his death, which occurred at Lynnville (whither he had retired) in 1877.
Peter E. Hamel was raised on his father's farm; attended the school near his home; remained with his parents until 1873, and then farmed on his own account. He is now the owner of 170 acres of the old homestead and an additional 80 acres three miles east of Woodson. He retired from active work on the farm in 1898, bought his present comfortable home in Jacksonville, and has since resided there. He was married September 6, 1866, to Sarah Green, daughter of Thomas Green, a farmer who settled in Morgan County, in 1836. Mr. Hamel has had four children: Ellen O. L., who died at sixteen years; Margaret, wife of Henry Reece; Joseph L. and Charles E. Mr. Hamel has served as School Director, Road Supervisor and Township Trustee; in politics is a Republican, and is connected with the I.O.O.F.

Bar-i Spike in Website Traffic 'No Fluke'
In the month of May 2012 Colorado based liquor inventory company Bar-i Intelligent Inventory (www.bar-i.com) reported a traffic increase of 37% to their website and according to co-owner and software programmer Jamie Edwards "This was no fluke".
Understanding the power of social media marketing and the incredible reach of the of the internet, the Colorado firm have focused quite a bit of time, attention, and money to the enhancement of their website and their social media presence. "I believe that our liquor inventory system is second to none and we are finding from our customers that they do not disagree. Now that we have created an effective liquor inventory system we feel our website should be just as effective" says Edwards. This shift in focus has been extremely evident in the past couple of months with the addition of a Q&A forum and increasing the number of informative posts. "The forum is meant nykl to serve as a place where bar managers and owners can post any questions that they may have regarding bar inventory or general bar concerns". Edwards went on to explain he realizes the value of information which has the ability to aid potential customers. "We know bar owners and managers that have questions will stumble upon our website and hopefully will recognize our depth of knowledge. From here, by providing quality content, it is more likely that we instill trust into potential customers which makes it far more likely that they will convert into clients in the future".
Although the firm has increased their focus on internet marketing, Bar-i Co-owner and founder Scott Douthitt is quick to remind that their success is derived from their focus on customer service and the effectiveness of their service. "When I started Bar-i, I began with the intention of providing bar owners and managers with a system that provided them oversight and actionable information about their bar inventory". Douthitt, himself a former bar manager at well known Vail bar the Red Lion, set out to create a comprehensive bar inventory system that would allow bar owners to make decisions based on in-depth information. With the help of Edwards, the two created a sophisticated computer program that makes the inventory process far less painful. "I know as well as any that doing inventory is tedious and time consuming so anything that helps relieve that pain is typically welcomed".
If being judged solely by attention received, it is clear that the Bar-i system is effective but you need not take that at face value. The newly retooled website also incorporates a "testimonial"

Lille and Bordeaux held
Troyes' search for a first win of the Ligue 1 season will go on after they played out a 1-1 draw with Lille.
• Sign up for Champs Lge fantasy
• Play our UCL predictions game
Things could have been worse for the hosts, who trailed for much of the match to Dimitri Payet's first-half strike. However, substitute Sebastian Grax came to the rescue in the final few minutes to secure only the second point of the campaign for Troyes.
Bordeaux boss Francis Gillot's call for his side to take more of their chances fell on deaf ears as they were held to a goalless draw at Valenciennes.
Gillot had been happy with his team's unbeaten start but urged them be more ruthless in front of goal, only to watch them draw a blank.
By the finish, he might have been grateful just to get a point as Valenciennes enjoyed the better of the game and came closest to breaking the deadlock with a Rudy Mater effort that crashed back off the crossbar.
Sochaux picked up their first victory after beating St Etienne 1-0 at the Stade Geoffrey-Guichard.
Thierry Doubai's overhead kick after 75 minutes won the game for the visitors after the hosts had to play 80 minutes with 10 men due to Jonathan Brison being shown a straight red card. And Sochaux picked up their first victory in the capital of the Loire region in 13 attempts.
Evian picked up their first win of the season at the fifth time of asking, as everything clicked in a three-goal showing against Bastia.
Pascal Dupraz's side put on a show at the Parc des Sports, opening the scoring through Cedric Barbosa, with the same player putting the cap on it with 13 minutes left after Yannick Sagbo had netted a second.
Bastia can count themselves unlucky on the basis of the fact they did all the early running, even hitting the post through Toifilou Maoulida, but their failure to cash in on their chances cost them.
Nice enjoyed their first win, getting the better of Brest 4-2 after a dominant second-half display.
A lacklustre first half was soon forgotten once the second period began, with Camel Meriem, Nemanja Pejcinovic, Eric Bautheac and Valentin Eysseric all finding the target for the home side.
Jonathan Ayite and Paul Baysse replied for Brest but the damage had already been done by that stage.

As part of the re-evaluation, the brand has called a review of its global digital agency arrangements and has approached agencies with a brief. Moet & Chandon's ad account is handled by Mother.
Although the UK remains the biggest export market for Champagne, British consumption of the drink has declined over the past two years. In 2009, Moet & Chandon's UK sales fell 9.6%, according to Mintel.
Last year, Moet agreed its first TV sponsorship deal with Sky for coverage of the Oscars and Golden Globes awards ceremonies. At the brand's 'Tribute to Cinema' gala last year, it revealed actress Scarlet Johansson would be its first celebrity brand ambassador.

Martin Luther in 1516, before email:
"I would need almost two secretaries; I do almost nothing all day but write letters." Luther and His Katie, 35
Be more effective in doing good work
Looks like, as with most everything else, this is not a problem of technology. It's great to know, because that allows us to stop treating it as such and to recognize the underlying condition: people in positions of authority simply have a lot of demands on them which must be prioritized in light of their true goals.
Great point. I was just writing in my book yesterday that _the fundamentals_ have not changed. The context and environment are different, but the underlying factors (and solutions!) are still the same.

Ephratah is a town in Fulton County, New York, United States. The population was 1,682 at the 2010 census. It is named after Ephrath, a biblical town in what is now Israel.
The Town of Ephratah, is in the southwest part of the county and is west of Gloversville and Johnstown.
The region was first settled around 1720. The Stone Arabia patent, granted in 1723, comprised much of the south part of Ephratah.
The town name, suggested by earlier inhabitant Anthony Beck, suggests abundance-bearing fruit, in his prophecy of a great city to be built there in the future.
The town was formed in 1827 from the Town of Palatine in Montgomery County before the creation of Fulton County. On the formation of Fulton County in 1838, part of Ephratah was returned to Palatine.

Rather than treat FaceTime like any other app that uses data, AT&T says they will require you to be on one of their Mobile Share plans, or no FaceTime over cellular for you… The response from customers pretty much equaled what you would expect—outrage along with widely-professed plans to switch carriers. Instead of letting the discontent fester, AT&T released this statement via their public policy blog (stimulating reading, no?). To get a gist of the tone of the post, just check out this little excerpt:
"In another knee jerk reaction, some groups have rushed to judgement and claimed that AT&T's plans will violate the FCC's net neutrality rules. Those arguments are wrong."
Please, teach us more, Mr. Bob Quinn. He's the lead of AT&T's Federal Regulatory group, and he clearly takes issue with the idea that requiring a Mobile Share plan is against the rules. His reasoning? FaceTime is a pre-loaded app, which falls outside the net neutrality guidelines. As such, it's being treated differently than all the other apps we download, and getting slapped with what Quinn calls "some reasonable restrictions."
Mr. Quinn could have left it at that and hoped for minimal backlash, but instead he tried to paint AT&T in a very generous light by explaining that the cell provider is kind enough to provide ANY PRE-LOADED APPS AT ALL, when it's not required to do so.
Many in the blogosphere are furious at AT&T's response to its FaceTime criticism.
TUAW's Victor Agreda Jr wrote: " It's obviously what's going on here. Bean counters at AT&T decided the churn from lost customers was worth the added cost of lingering unlimited data customers like me… and this is the last straw for me. AT&T clearly needs to bolster its network, and is happy to do that on the backs of clueless customers who are content to lump all their data needs together and be nickel-and-dimed over niceties like texting."
App Advice's Brian Wolfe wrote: " As a long-time AT&T customer, this move could finally be enough for me to consider switching to Verizon or Sprint. If I do, the company won't just be losing my business, but also that of four others that share my AT&T account… I've grown increasingly tired of AT&T's attempts to nickel and dime us whenever they seek new revenues."
Nilay Patel from The Verge had this to say on twitter:
"AT&T on FaceTime: please let us shamelessly f**k you over while pretending "preloaded" and "downloaded" apps are somehow different."
So, instead of complaining, I guess we're all supposed to thank AT&T for their goodness to us and get back in line… But what if Apple made FaceTime downloadable instead, would that completely change the game? Look, Quinn's statement might be entirely true, but it's not about what is required of AT&T. Instead of finding loopholes through which they can further restrict the use of data we pay for, maybe AT&T should be more concerned about meeting the "reasonable expectations" of the people who keep them in business year after year.

ORLANDO, Fla. – The Detroit Pistons, after allowing 21 unanswered first-half points, outscored the Utah Jazz by that same margin in the third quarter and opened play in the Orlando Pro Summer League with a 76-73 victory Monday.
A pair of second-round draft picks, Kim English from this season and Kyle Singler from 2011, made their Pistons debuts by scoring 18 and 14 points, respectively.
Andre Drummond, the Pistons' first-round draft pick this year, finished with eight points and five rebounds, and overcame two airball free throws which sailed wide left of the rim. Much of his work was done on the defensive end, where he had four steals and two blocked shots.
Brandon Knight added 17 points and six assists and Austin Daye scored 12 points for the Pistons.
The Pistons went more than seven minutes without scoring in the first half and saw a 16-8 first-quarter lead evolve into a 29-16 deficit in the second quarter.
They flipped that in the third quarter, when they outscored Utah 32-11, an offensive outburst which occurred despite the limits of the summer league's 10-minute quarters.
English, whom the Pistons selected No. 44 overall out of Missouri, drew two charges in the game's first 3 ½ minutes – he led the Big 12 Conference in charges drawn last year – and had 10 points in the decisive third quarter.
Drummond and Singler largely were matched up against the Jazz's two 2011 lottery picks, Enes Kanter and Alec Burks, respectively, and won those individual matchups.
Drummond, like English, showed some promising defensive acumen and helped limit Kanter to three points on 1-of-7 shooting. Singler, who scored all his points in the first three quarters, on 6-of-8 shooting, helped hold Burks to seven points.
The Pistons play their second of five games in five days at 3 p.m. Tuesday against the host Orlando Magic. They play Oklahoma City at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Boston at 11 a.m. Thursday and Philadelphia at noon Friday.
All games are played at the Magic's practice facility in Amway Arena.

Monique Menefee of Cleveland has been appointed by Gov. John Kasich to serve as a student member of the Kent State University Board of Trustees. Her term began Friday and ends May 16, 2015.
KSU's board consists of 12 members, nine of whom are voting members appointed by the governor of Ohio, with the advice and consent of the state senate.
Menefee joins Alex Evans, a KSU student who is a triple major in biology/pre-med, business management and public health, as the two student trustees -- one graduate and one undergraduate -- appointed to the board for overlapping two-year terms of office.
Student trustees do not have voting power.
Menefee is pursuing a masters of education in higher education administration and student personnel and received her bachelor of science in Spanish translation with a minor in sociology from KSU earlier this year. She earned a 3.46 GPA and was named to the Dean's List.
As an undergraduate student, Menefee studied abroad in Argentina, and she took her passion to Washington, D.C., as an advocate for TRIO, a set of five federally funded college opportunity programs that motivate and support students in their pursuit of a college degree.
The Board of Trustees is the governing body of KSU.
By Ohio law, the board is responsible for selecting and appointing the president; setting the operating budget; approving personnel appointments; granting all degrees awarded by the university, including honorary degrees; establishing tuition and fee rates; approving contracts; and approving all rules, regulations, curriculum changes, new programs and degrees of the university.

BOS Hearing on Women and Economics
Impact of the Economic Crisis on San Francisco's Women and Girls
Board of Supervisors
Land Use and Economic Development Committee
Sophie Maxwell, Chair; David Chiu; Eric Mar
Also attending: Carmen Chu
On Monday, December 7, 2009, the Land Use and Economic Development Committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors held a hearing entitled The Current Economic Crisis: Impact and Recommendations for San Francisco's Women and Girls. The Commission and Department on the Status of Women partnered with the Board in organizing this important hearing. Below is a summary of remarks and recommendations made by scheduled speakers and the public.
1. Track fiscal stimulus funds by requiring the collection of voluntarily reported gender, race, and other demographic data of recipients.
2. Institute a check box for voluntary identification of gender, race, and other demographic data on business registration applications.
3. Require reporting on the number of women at job sites of major construction projects receiving fiscal stimulus funds.
4. Protect training opportunities at City College and the Office of Economic and Workforce Development, and ensure that outreach efforts reach women.
5. Continue to support childcare subsidies as a necessary component of economic recovery.
6. Prioritize funding for the start-up of micro-business enterprises, especially for women and minority owned businesses.
7. Prioritize funding for programs that address women's health and violence against women, which constitute fundamental human rights of women.
President Andrea Shorter, Commission on the Status of Women
Commission President Andrea Shorter set the tone for the event with a call for comprehensive, City-wide data collection and for oversight of outreach to ensure it reaches women.
She made it known that the City is already on the right track in these areas. For example, the Women's Human Rights Ordinance requires departments to collect and analyze data about race, gender, and other demographics. The City is moving toward performance-based budgeting and Gender Responsive Budgeting – both great ways to improve the equity of budgetary decisions. Also, the City is moving toward greater transparency and accountability through websites like www.datasf.org.
President Shorter stated that the next necessary step is to require City departments using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funds to track how it is being used and if that use is equitable by collecting gender, race, and other demographic data of recipients. This will help the City know who is receiving the benefits of the Stimulus Act. For example, if the recipients are contractors, then the City should know who the contractors are hiring for the new building projects here in the City.
President Shorter highlighted that, alarmingly, San Francisco has no idea how many women-owned businesses there are, let alone businesses owned by women of color. Putting voluntary check-boxes on business license applications, asking for gender, race, and age, at minimum, can provide the City with the information it needs to better align its services to the constituents needing them.
The second recommendation involved outreach. The City's recruitment for job training, apprenticeships, and other ARRA-funded job programs must demonstrate that they have made a full-faith effort to include women, and this can be mandated by the Board of Supervisors.
Kate Howard, Mayor's Office of Policy and Finance
Kate Howard began by providing general information about how ARRA funds have been used. San Francisco has been allocated about $500 million through the Stimulus Act, with the majority coming to the City through Medicare cost-sharing. To date, only 16% has been spent, and San Francisco has not yet received much of the remainder. A challenge to understanding if women are receiving the benefits of ARRA lies in the fact that there are few provisions that require demographic data collection. The federal government only requests the number of jobs created and the amount of money spent, though even this is new and cumbersome for many grantees.
In the first quarter, San Francisco saw the creation of 422 new jobs through ARRA funding. The majority of new jobs were created by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), though many were also created by the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD), primarily through a summer youth employment program. In addition to the new jobs created, San Francisco saw job preservation through Medicare cost reimbursement, and through the implementation of capital projects at SFMTA and the airport.
One ARRA-funded program that does collect a significant amount of demographic data is Jobs Now! SF, a program operated by the Human Services Agency and supported by ARRA funds allocated through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. Jobs Now will create 2,000 subsidized jobs in San Francisco before September 2010. To be eligible for these jobs, the participant must be a San Francisco resident, a parent, and earning less than 200% of the Federal Poverty Line. San Francisco interprets this last requirement to mean that the person has been unemployed for over 30 days.
The jobs are split evenly between the public, private, and non-profit sectors (33% each), with most participants between ages 25 and 54. There are approximately 16% youth participants, meaning there are a number of very young parents seeking work in San Francisco. Of the 1,138 current participants, 781 (69%) are women, many of whom are single parents. There are 390 employers participating in Jobs Now.
Supervisor Maxwell asked what happens after September 2010, urging that coordinators of the program develop systems to track the success of participants. Are they getting full-time employment, or will they be jobless again once the subsidization ends? Ms. Howard indicated that the Obama Administration is also very interested in the impact of ARRA funds, and HSA has been tracking individuals very closely using a variety of indicators and demographics. This data collection practice provides a good example for other City agencies and programs.
Outreach for participants in Jobs Now has been successful, with over 3,800 eligible participants identified. The City is now targeting outreach efforts toward businesses, especially information technology and biotech industries. Salaries are entirely covered by the ARRA funding, and those employers would only need to cover payroll taxes and workers' compensation.
In addition to Jobs Now, Ms. Howard informed the Supervisors that OEWD has created 3 new academies: the Green Jobs Academy, the Health Care Sector Academy, and the Social Services Sector Academy. These will commence in the spring, funded by a federal Workforce Investment Act allocation. These academies have been modeled after City Build, which trains participants in a career field by placing them in apprenticeships in that field.
Jenny Erwin, Women's Bureau, Department of Labor, Region 9
Jenny Erwin provided details about the variety of steps the Women's Bureau has taken to determine community needs and to address them. In January and February 2009, the Women's Bureau organized a series of virtual listening sessions with constituents and providers. In these sessions, the Women's Bureau heard a great demand for services, and also realized that many women do not know what options are available to them. They heard that older women are particularly vulnerable, with outdated skill sets and extreme competition with younger job seekers.
Following these listening sessions, the Women's Bureau hosted a series of hearings nationwide entitled, Economic Recovery – What Women Need to Know. From these hearings, the Women's Bureau learned that outreach was needed to inform women about their options and the services available. Additionally, more data was necessary to understand the full scope of both the crisis and the recovery efforts.
As a large portion of the ARRA funding will go to shovel-ready green jobs, the Women's Bureau hosted a series of Green Jobs Roundtables to create awareness about jobs with solid career paths, to identify best practices to recruit, hire, and retain women, and to create partnerships within communities. One such roundtable was hosted in San Leandro in October 2009 in partnership with Tradeswomen, Inc. From these roundtables, the Women's Bureau learned that there is limited training, a lack of jobs, a lack of role models, a lack of childcare, and a lack of funding for entrepreneurial enterprises started by women. From this, the Women's Bureau funded 9 pilot projects to train women about these green job opportunities and to address some of the gaps identified through the roundtables. The Women's Bureau will also be producing a resource guide to summarize the learnings gleaned from the many events sponsored this year.
Ms. Erwin recommended that San Francisco ensure that information about funding and programs get out to women throughout the community, and to create local tracking systems to show the impact of the work. Additionally, San Francisco should focus on building strategic new partnerships to reach a wider audience with outreach efforts, and thus with recovery efforts overall.
Veronica Hunnicutt, City College of San Francisco
Dr. Hunnicutt spoke about new programming that City College will be offering next semester related to green jobs. Green Launchpad, an ARRA-funded course, is a partnership between City College, OEWD, Jewish Vocational Services, and Goodwill Industries. It is a semester-long training on green career options. Participants are generally 18-24 years old, and are often taking college courses for the first time. After taking the Green Launchpad course, students can then enroll in additional courses in the green track at City College. Dr. Hunnicutt will be hosting 3 orientation sessions at various City College campuses throughout the City.
The focus of outreach for these career-track educational programs has been to inform women that they can train, on a short-term basis, for jobs that pay a livable wage, such as solar panel installation. City College promotes life-long education and training opportunities. City College has a designated Dean of Outreach and Recruitment and a successful Student Ambassador program also conducts outreach.
Supervisor Chu inquired about vocational English as a Second Language training, and outreaching to students with language needs. Dr. Hunnicutt indicated that City College has a Dean working on these issues, to ensure that the benefits of a City College education can reach all communities.
Linnea Klee, Children's Council
Ms. Klee highlighted the need for the Board of Supervisors to consider childcare issues as an integral aspect of recovery efforts. According to Ms. Klee, the childcare system is a predominantly female workforce. Childcare is early education and has significant economic importance. San Francisco has put a great deal of work into creating the childcare system. While functional, it is very fragile. It must be seen as a system, rather than reduced to individual components that can be eliminated.
San Francisco has the lowest child population of any urban area. Of these children, 32% are poor. There are 4,400 eligible children waiting for a childcare subsidy (amounting to 2/3 of the poor children in San Francisco). Only 43% of children can find licensed childcare in San Francisco. The remainder must rely on family or friends. One in ten workers have children under 13 with both parents employed, and 19% of new mothers live in poverty and likely will not receive childcare assistance.
Regina Dick-Endrizzi, Small Business Commission
The Small Business Assistance Center opened in May 2008, just before the financial crisis began. The top 3 businesses seen by the Center are food handling (e.g., home-based catering), retail, and professional services (e.g., consulting).
The Center requests demographic data from individuals using its services, but because it is voluntary to respond, the response rate is at about 1%, so demographic figures are not entirely reliable. Despite this, data shows that as of January 2009, 41% of individuals using the Center were women. The revolving loan program has distributed 7 loans, 4 of which went to women.
The Small Business Commission is also a partner in the Jobs Now program, supporting outreach efforts with San Francisco businesses. Supervisors inquired whether Jobs Now funds could be used by participants in starting their own businesses, but it seems that this may not be allowable. Funds are not available to the business owner directly, only for jobs. However, in several cases, single-person businesses have been able to expand using Jobs Now. The primary issue has been finding affordable workers' compensation insurance and upfront capital for payroll, as Jobs Now works on a reimbursement basis. The Small Business Commission has been active in supporting these businesses in finding resources they need to be able to take advantage of the ARRA Jobs Now funding for staff. In fact, smaller businesses have been taking advantage of Jobs Now more than larger companies.
Ms. Dick-Endrizzi supported the earlier recommendation to include a voluntary check box on business tax forms to be able to collect data about who business owners in San Francisco are. She also recommended finding new ways to connect women to neighborhood business development programs.
Teresa Sparks, Human Rights Commission
The Human Rights Commission tracks demographic information of business ownership through its certification program, and Ms. Sparks began by offering some statistics. Of the businesses certified by the Human Rights Commission under the Local Business Enterprise Ordinance, only 28% are owned by women. Construction businesses have the lowest percentage of women businesses owners, at 12%. General Services and Professional Services businesses had the highest percentages, at 34% and 37% respectively.
Overall, there is a lower percent of contracts finally awarded to women than there are women certified. One barrier to being awarded a contract is the need for quick turnaround in getting bond financing. This is challenging for small businesses, and HRC has begun pre-qualifying businesses to expedite the process and provide these businesses with more leverage in the bidding process.
One way the HRC is attempting to even the playing field is through increasing outreach about contract availability. HRC has begun distributing a monthly newsletter, and is partnering with the Small Business Commission and with the Treasurer to increase the reach of that newsletter. HRC's outreach list is just 6,000, but with these partners, the newsletter will reach 50,000. Through increased outreach, it is the hope to raise the number of women-owned businesses certified to do business with the City. Additionally, HRC is engaging in a new 6-month partnership with the African American Chamber of Commerce in the Bayview to do targeted outreach in that community.
Thais Rezende, Women's Initiative
Ms. Rezende provided statistics about the success of Women's Initiative. For example, one year after receiving training through Women's Initiative, 90% of clients are either employed or self-employed. Of the women who start their own businesses, 70% are still in business, with steady sales, 5 years later. These women hire an average of 3 employees, and pay $9 over minimum wage. The businesses are generally green, sustainable, and socially responsible. It is clear that women's entrepreneurship is critical to long-term City-wide economic recovery.
Meg Vasey, Tradeswomen, Inc.
The barriers for women in the construction trades are formidable, especially after Proposition 209 ended the quotas that promoted women in these fields. Registered apprenticeships are down from 7% in 1996 to 2% currently. In some specialized trades, women make up less than 1% of registered apprentices.
According to Ms. Vasey, there needs to be a critical mass of women in the trades or individual women are less likely to succeed in the field. Women typically receive less training on the worksite, and so have fewer skills when leaving the apprenticeship, making them less marketable.
Ms. Vasey had several recommendations for the use of new ARRA training dollars. The federal government has clear goals about the recruitment of women on job sites, namely that 6.9% of employees must be women. San Francisco should ensure that contractors hired to implement the new construction projects adhere to these requirements. Additionally, Tradeswomen endorses the collection of data on all federal contracts. Another suggestion is to make all ARRA projects into Mega Projects which require increased oversight.
Ms. Vasey stated that contractors need support and encouragement to do more. There needs to be partnership and collaboration with contractors to do the hard work of recruitment, mentoring, and placement needed to turn a woman candidate into a skilled worker.
Vanessa Flores, Asian Women Shelter
Ms. Flores provided information about Project SEED, a program of Narika that supports women moving out of domestic violence situations into safety and stability. Project SEED (Survivor Economic Empowerment and Development) is a 1-year program that teaches English language skills, provides job training, and instructs survivors in entrepreneurship. This has proven to be a successful transitional model that others can use and learn from in creating City-wide recovery.
Dr. Amy Bacharach, San Francisco Women's Political Committee
Dr. Bacharach stated that women are now the largest force for economic growth, and if the City doesn't support women's economic issues, it risks extending the recession. She added that the economic crisis has a disproportionate effect on women on several fronts, including underemployment and unemployment, childcare, lack of adequate and affordable housing, underrepresentation in decision-making roles, and increased domestic violence and trafficking. In considering those issues, Dr. Bacharach provided the Supervisors with the following recommendations:
- Fight to eliminate the pay gap between women and men for the same jobs, and promote awareness of this existing gap.
- Develop and expand after-school programs or activities in schools that extend to the end of the workday, as leaving work early to deal with childcare affects women's earnings and promotion potential.
- Develop and expand affordable housing options, recognizing realistic financial constraints of single mothers and families, noting that housing that is 50% to 70% of a person's income is not realistic.
- Create opportunities for women and girls to advance in their careers, develop citywide micro-lending for women-owned businesses, and create loan forgiveness programs for higher education.
- Continue fighting for resources for domestic violence and trafficking victims. Do not allow funding for shelters to be considered as optional for cuts.
Paula Fisal, Business Owner
Ms. Fisal, who is engaged in the construction industry, highlighted the need for close oversight of the City's public works contracts. She expressed frustration at the lack of success among women-owned businesses in securing these contracts. She urged improved tracking of contracting data.
Katie McCall, Women's Community Clinic
Ms. McCall informed the Supervisors that women are most likely to be uninsured or underinsured, and that women also make the majority of healthcare decisions for their families. In addition to being a free community clinic for women, the Women's Community Clinic also has the goal of training women in the healthcare profession. The Clinic actively uses volunteers, and 73% of them go on to college in a health field. The Clinic's Western Addition Health Training Program is a 2-year paid fellowship that has seen tremendous success in promoting the health professions. Ms. McCall urged the City to support organizations that are bridging the gap between service provision, job training, and the volunteer sector.
Supervisor Maxwell made it clear in her final comments that this is only first of a series of hearings on this topic, and that the Board of Supervisors would continue to address the issue of engaging women in economic recovery efforts. President Chiu stated the he was open to policy initiatives that would move the agenda forward.
