Dear all
Monday, 19 October 2009
Tell the truth speak without fear
I cannot forget the words of a true pacifist, Martin Luther King: "It is
not a violence of few is scaring me, but the indifference of many ".
Well, frightens me is the indifference of those many … those supporting
blindly Xanana their hatred and treason and that contributed so much to
confuse the people and the World and seeing everything, have done
nothing to minimize the results already predicted, largely detrimental
to the Sovereignty of the Nation.
Some may see me simply as a rebel but not most of Timorese feel the same
way, a rebellious aware that we are into dramatic unbearable and
unstoppable, since the coup d ' état of 2006, in which we have not been
given the right of ourselves, or to protect our culture, nor our wealth,
nor sovereign interests of the nation, nor our unforgettable story.
Everything flatten was intended to be, without the right to defence. So
how can I be a sheep in the midst of many wolves? Impossible!
I continue defiant including my brothers and sisters against the AMP,
against the methods used for overthrow the legitimate Government,
against bad governance which insists on produce and protect harmful
policies, without transparency, blighting the future of the nation. As a
people that both fought to get rid of torturers murderers, feel right to
request responsibilities who allowed the nation to reach a fragile
The most honest and respectable act would take of fatal errors,
resulting from the coup that have undermined the nation.
We are entitled to continue to be a nation, to be strong and do
everything to retrieve the greatness of our ideals. Only those who do
not knows that will believe that we subjugate the vicious wolves. We
affirm we are people of peace, but we know what we want and how to
achieve this.
The Government AMP, the totalitarian institution absolute and oversee a
"pontificate" aspiring false "saints" and "pacifist", both dangerous by
the consequences of their actions, no political vision of the future,
adoration to arrogance, lie, dirty money and power without quality and
In the past 2006 was for East Timor the year of greater and more
furtive type of conspiracy against its history and its people. The
largest and most filthy conspiracy through unclean plans, offered
Timor-Leste to claw of foreigners and nationals without scruples,
weakening desperately the nation structures still in construction.
No, certainly are not Timorese who created a AMP based on hatred, are
aberrations of our people, because children of our people would be
unable to produce so many pitfalls against the future of East Timor.
Time passes the speed of a devastating typhoon, and AMP policies, false
and attractive, propagate a misleading wave, leading to the current new
generation to too dark crater.
East Timor could enter an unprecedented collapse if continue to be
governed by an unscrupulous "maestro" and an "Orchestra" of followers
intentionally blind. We see the development of economic policies it will
be to develop the country or will develop "pockets" of "maestro" and of
Can only be dubious rulers who produces a "referendum" package without
adequate rules, doubtful, which certainly will create more nepotism and
more discrimination.
What is behind the "referendum" package?
Will be based on principles of good governance, law enforcement and
transparency of the delivery of projects?
An issue that cannot be ignored. Everything indicates that will be an
open door to more institutionalized corruption. Approving projects "by
invitation"? This suggests something related to cronyism and expulsion
of "undesirable" persons, abandoning a fair, stable economic development
and human.
To achieve the objectives of prosperity, abundance, fraternity and
wealth, the money and power should have codes of honour, which should
preside over all political actions. That does not happen!
Transcend by most sensible to find the opposite of what which are false
policies of the AMP.
I submit to my inner rebellion, which cry which seems unending, each
Government action, instigator of the worst, and released me into words
and ideas liberating way, keeping alive the vast universe of our
liberation struggle.
A few days earlier and, another issue that we have reviewed are the
words of Xanana in Parliament, on the legitimate "censure motion". Once
again, the sad "maestro", Xanana resorted to hatred firmly inculcated in
their bones, hatred which has polluted the beauty and strength of our
fight and our Nation. Not! Cannot be the East Timorese, who expresses so
against the struggle of own Timorese and national interests.
Question why Xanana is so "slight" in assessing war crimes committed in
East Timor? Really is that Xanana suffered at the time of occupation, or
would have been one of the privileged? And if was he, why?
How many compatriots were victims of his snares and acts of treason?
Those who do not know that does "depart" who no longer serves their
personal interests?
Forgive me, but I have to give voice to my brother's clear reasons, they
cannot talk.
The horrors of the past cannot be seen just as lightweight. How many
families lost their families? Who, was not with the genocide that moved
the world to the cause of the Timorese people's Liberation?
It is not easy to observe the falsehood and insensitivity, AMP
Government policy created on lies, treason and scams. The desire to
rebel against the false words of Xanana is large, and crying to winds
that we want a new route for East Timor, we want to liberate us of their
claws, its lies, of their treasons, their scams strangers, of their
friends pro-integrationist, pro-colonial new liberals.
We want a clean policy, we want to plot the course of our future, live
this without shadows of betrayal, fear and shame. We want a Strong
Their gender policies are already obvious doubtful. Hatred and disregard
for the history of the people of East Timor now seem to be a path
without return. But our word is the wind will bring a new day will
blowing strong our soul that weaken the advancement so doubtful
Who was nominated by the people to receive titles of great nobility and
significance and took advantage of these titles for political personal
Xanana, sadly called the sole representative of the struggle of a
people, who has entrusted and made him the myth, it is no longer
Also Ramos Horta, sadly, if called himself "the Nobel Peace Prize", when
in fact it was commissioned by the people and the elected person
indebted to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, which is really a prize that
commends the nobility and the courage of the same people, Timorese men
and women have devoted their lives to the cause of liberation, peace and
progress in mountains and sea.
Ramos Horta should never feel owner of the Nobel Prize, nor use it for
personal political interests, should be a respectable guardian this same
prize, which represents the wonderful story of a people that resisted,
survived a terrible genocide and won.
Ramos Horta is going to prove unworthy of having received the Nobel
Peace Prize of which is the people of Timor, fighter, resistant and
Xanana has already proved unworthy of titles.
With regard to elections, we can say that we won! And more gains if we
live in a country free of dangerous tentacles enemy of people and best
interests of the nation.
"The world does not know anything. East Timor is a case of World
ignorance exactly as they were concentration camps in time of war. Then
all crashed, but it was too late. " (DOM Carlos F. Ximenes de Belo)
We hope that these words will not have validity in the next future. Do
everything to ensure that this does not happen and, therefore, we
disclose today and always, nebulous policies of the AMP Government.
International organizations based in East Timor and their agents, seem
to be totally indifferent to the actions of this same Government, which
being oppressive by nature, misleading and regressive using advanced
methods Cabinet intimidation for dubious purposes, the Timorese culture
threatened by pseudo intellectuals that delivering speeches "Advanced"
that little everyone understands, present as holders of "historical
truth", enticing intellectually the colonial mentalities and their
This is why I am afraid with too ambitious people and pseudo
intellectuals, that everything you see but say nothing and nothing to
restore truth where there is a lie. The so-called "agents of peace" and
the "disturbing" consultants that undermine the mindset of peoples,
maintains a destabilization that suit the current mercenaries, fishermen
of money and power (inglorious).
Currently, we have another East Timor, that Timor do not want, of
foreigners and some nationals, false pacifists, Timor AMP with
pro-integrationist, pro-liberals, highly responsible for governmental
degradation and prostitution moral of Government members, which sell for
money, and sell the country, misleading the people and the World that
the development is underway. Pure lies!
Invented the farce of a peace that does not exist talking of a pacifism
non-existent, hypocritical and bring foreign models projects which does
not fit our reality, but serve to enrich quickly some how many,
damaging our development.
Few hypocritical, which are enemies of the people, invented fraud of
humanity to undermine the mentalities and protect criminals, forgetting
the victims who suffered at their hands and who fought with courage and
bravery by genuine peace and freedom.
In East Timor, with peace catalogues, spread hatred in the population
against their blood brothers, misleading people, changing the behaviour
of them, causing serious crises. They paid to foment violence and
destruction. Then appeared as rescue workers, humanistic and pacifist,
say agents and advisors of peace and progress of peoples, but the truth
is another:
The so-called and false "agents of peace", pacifists hypocrites come to
actually install the "hell", degradation of peoples and the annihilation
of cultures. And we live in this intensely in advent 2006, in coup 2006
and post-2006.
When Xanana and its supporters decided to demolish the legitimate
Government, What was the honour codes used? The good manner of other
times that there was no law, do they give the opportunity to the
attacked Government to defend itself t? NO! At all.
It was an unequal struggle, misleading, manipulative laws and
principles, having behind a community of such "agents of peace" and
unscrupulous mercenaries that have buried their plans of prosperity for
the people, in partnership with the Government scammer. The traitors,
scammer, responsible for overthrow of legitimate Governments, can only
have a name: white-collar bandits who commit crimes against the peoples.
Why must we say these truths? Why are they keeping so quite being the
owners of the information, the intellectuals of sorcery? Why?
Just so much hypocrisy, lies and opportunism together! This is our Hell!
There is a State Government AMP, members without honour, without
conscience, much more false "agents of peace" than its own people.
There are intellectuals without dignity and without courage to say
clearly to the world that East Timor is increasingly ill, infested with
corrupt people and our historic culture is under threat.
It is sad to be ourselves, from the people; we tell the world what is
happening, for the well of our nation.
East Timor is being sold to a community of consultants, agents, "the
sultans" a new colonial empire, resistant to our history, which does not
assume as colonialist, and more seriously, claiming they came for the
good, by development, humanity and peace, when in fact bring in
suitcases faked projects that we do not serve and delay us and many of
them, poisonous enough to spread.
Peaces … Justice … Progress … are wonderful words. Nothing sounds as
well as the union of those words. But peace is the fruit of Justice, and
progress is the implementation of the two.
We must be aware that is urgent to free ourselves of infiltrated
enemies, give effectiveness to justice, and recover the pat for
development plan for the first twenty years. These are the foundations
for peace and we are treading the path that both wanted and lived for
to achieve.
We are living in times in which the representatives of the Government
ignore justice, truth, honour, but support lie telling the world that we
are at peace and that the development of the nation is a reality. This
is a lie!
This is our hell! Lies, lies!
Politically wrong behaviour of AMP since its creation based on hatred
and division of the people, reached an unacceptable level, therefore,
increase concern with the security and well-being.
The United Nations, an organization are to promote peace and security
for most of the Nations affected by attack enemies. I wonder: will The
UN is fulfilling its mission in East Timor?

I have come to love and appreciate UPrinting as my personal printing of choice. For the numerous occasions I have used their services, I have never been disappointed. Their diversity of printed products which are further divided into subcategories offers one an extensive selection that offered in most online printing companies.
Among others, I have in the past contracted them to print business cards, brochures as well as posters which they have done satisfactorily. I have also seen excellent reviews by other customers regarding their quality work on fliers, postcards, hang tags, envelopes, door hangers and catalogs. As well, they print on canvas, window clings and vinyl and many more.

Clients also can choose different paper grades and weight. Whatever it is that you want custom-printed, they will go out of the way to hook you up.

Psychometric tests are a standard and scientific method used to measure individuals' mental capabilities and behavioral style. Psychometric tests are designed to measure candidates' suitability for a role based on the required personality characteristics and aptitude (or cognitive abilities). They identify the extent to which candidates' personality and cognitive abilities match those required to perform the role. Employers use the information collected from the psychometric test to identify the hidden aspects of candidates that are difficult to extract from a face-to-face interview.
Once the Human Resources manager, or person/s in charge of hiring, ascertains that you have fulfilled the initial requirements for the position by reviewing your resume, they will then send out a letter with specific instructions for sitting the psychometric test. The prime objective of this is to identify at an early stage those job applicants who are unlikely to fill the requirements of the position on offer and consequently narrow the applications further.
Some job applicants believe that the psychometric test is not a good measure to assess their real abilities, personality traits, and suitability for the job. However, the psychometric tests are statistically examined, and are constructed to be objective and unbiased. This is done by using standard methods of assessment so that everyone is presented with the same questions and instructions for completing them. Our experience shows that psychometric tests are very reliable in predicting candidates' performance, and in most cases the test report provides an accurate evaluation of the applicant. However, this doesn't say that with a good preparation you can't improve your suitability for a job. We have proven that an effective preparation which highlights your relevant strengths and improves your weaknesses increases your chances to win the job you wish to get.
Why do employers use Psychometric Tests???
Employers use psychometric tests to:
- Help predict future on the job performance. The tests provide a snapshot of a candidate's potential.
- Ensure that a suitable candidate is hired for the job role.
- Sift out unsuitable candidates at an early stage in the recruitment process. The tests can be done quickly and cheaply and helps reduce recruitment costs.
- Psychometric tests are usually used as part of the selection process in conjunction with other traditional methods such as interviews.

When you purchase discount granite countertops, you want to make sure they are of good quality. If the they have large cracks in them, too many stains on them or if they look rusty, then you shouldn't purchase them. It's also a good idea to purchase discount granite countertops from trusted retailers. For example, Ebay is a good online store in general but it may not be the best place to get the because some of the sellers may not give you the best products. When you purchase the countertops, you need to research the retailers and one way to do this is to visit the Better Business Bureau's website and read customer reviews.
The benefit of discount granite countertops is that you can buy these in bulk at low prices if you're getting more than one countertop for the home. When you get them, you're also avoiding the big crowds at some of the major home improvement stores depending on where you get them.
With discount granite countertops you'll have extra money for other aspects of your home improvement projects. For example, when I purchased my countertops it left me with more money to use on other bathroom renovation expenses such as the toilet, new flooring, a new shower head and another tub to replace my outdated one. I knew a friend who had plenty of money left to renovate his kitchen when he got the discount.
Discount granite countertops allow you to purchase in bold colors and designs without feeling guilty about the costs. With such countertops, you're able to experiment with new kinds of granite at a minimal cost. This is great for those who like to switch things up.
When you get them, you can get high quality product at decent prices. They also let you renovate your home luxuriously while paying a good price and you won't feel bad about paying so much money. Some people won't renovate their kitchens or bathrooms unless they can purchase discount granite countertops for the project. My aunt only changes her bathroom vanity countertop when the local granite wholesaler offers their yearly clearance sale. She says this keeps her from spending high costs on the countertops..
Discount granite countertops save you money and time because some outlets give discounts on the installation of them. This was the case with a neighbor. He not only got a discounton his countertops but he also got a discount on the installation.
Granite Countertop Costs
If you want to save more money on granite countertop costs, you should look in your Sunday newspaper and cut some coupons from granite company manufacturers. These manufacturers offer great discounts with these coupons and it's a good idea if you need to buy a lot of granite for two or more countertops. When you use the manufacturers' coupons, look at the expiration date on them and restrictions with the coupons.
Another way to save money on granite countertop costs is to visit local granite companies and online granite retailers. You'll find weekly sales on the granite countertops and some of the discounts come as "75% off" or "50% off", and this saves you a lot of money. Some local granite companies give discounts on the installation of the countertops. Research different granite companies before purchasing the items they offer on sale.
To save money on granite countertop costs, you can visit home expos and look for bargains there. When you visit the home expos, you should look for discount granite countertops that match your preferences and home's main colors. The vendors that are at the home expos often have bargains on items they want to get rid of or new products they're trying to promote.
Another way to save money on granite countertop costs is to order from mail-order catalogs. Mail-order catalogs often feature granite countertops on sale during a limited time and if you're working on a home improvement project soon, you can buy the granite countertop in bulk.
Home improvement stores can save you money on granite countertop costs because most home improvement stores have a flooring or millworks department. When I used to work in a home improvement store, I would get requests all the time from customers who wanted custom-made granite countertops at discount prices.
In some cases, you may be able to save money on granite countertops by purchasing recycled granite countertops from stores which promote eco-friendly home improvement products. Sometimes these stores offer discounts for the purpose of educating others about going green when renovating the home. The salesclerk at this store may also give you helpful advice on how to go green when improving the home. With discount recycled granite countertops, you're making positive changes to the environment.
Outdoor community fairs are also great places to save money on granite countertop costs. This is a good way to support the local economy and your fellow residents while getting a good discount. Always inspect the items for quality and ask the sellers when the granite countertops were first purchased. The sellers at these fairs often carry deep discounts.
One available granite countertop color is gray. Gray is a popular granite countertop color because it blends well with every theme and color pattern of most rooms. If you have reddish gray ceramic tile floors gray countertop colors are complementary to these tile floors. You don't have to get solid gray granite because nowadays you can get gray combination such as gray/red, green/gray, beige/gray and black/gray. Gray granite countertops are versatile and most granite companies sell them at discount prices. In addition, they add elegance to a room.
Other available granite countertop colors are blue and green. This color combination is unique and you'll find these at local granite companies and online retailers. With blue and green granite countertops, you can add an extra flair to the kitchen and these countertops also work well with bathrooms. If you don't like neutral colors, a blue and green granite countertop would work well for your room.
White granite is another widely available color on the market. White granite brings a calming and subtle effect to a kitchen and this is a good idea if you want to add balance to your kitchen. Some white granite countertops have hints of brown, gray and black in them so this is great choice if you like multicolored white granite.
Black granite is widely available and you'll add a luxurious look to the kitchen or bathroom with this color. Black granite works best with light-colored rooms and you can accessorize it by adding brass collectibles, picture frames or a small stack of old-school cookbooks to the black granite countertop.

True Blood Season 7 Episode 9 Recap: The Truth Comes Outby Hilton Hater at . Updated at .
We're nearly there, people.
We're now just one episode away from the True Blood Season 7 finale and the end of what has easily been the worst run of episodes in modern television history.
And True Blood Season 7 Episode 9 most definitely added to that dishonor.
With the exception of Sam, who left town in order to be with Nicole and their impending baby, it was an hour full of selfish decisions.
(And even Sam doesn't get off totally free, considering he just left a note for Sookie instead of actually talking to his good friend.)
At the center of it all, of course, was Bill, who refused to drink from Sarah Newlin and be cured of Hep V because, well, you see, he had a dream that he and Sookie's baby would be Death.
That's scary and Bill, but two quick responses:
- It was a dream.
- Just don't have a child then.
In choosing to actually kill himself, Bill acted like a coward. He also insulted the heck out of Sookie, basically telling her she has no free will and is incapable of loving anyone else.
What a jerk. At least he granted Jessica's wish and set his progeny free...
... free to act like a selfish jerk herself, that is.
She went over to Hoyt's and revealed the truth of what she had previously Glamoured away, all because she was sad and lonely. Hoyt had gone off and found a great new life for himself, but Jessica decided she wanted to ruin everything for him.
Did anyone (and we mean, that, literally anyone) go into this season hoping Hoyt and Jessica would get back together? Does anyone believe they are meant to be?
The writers are re-writing history here and forgetting that Jessica cheated on Hoyt with his best friend back in the day for a reason. They were never, ever some perfect couple.
Elsewhere, Ginger finally got to have sex with Eric and climaxed in two seconds. That was funny.
But Pam was in no laughing mood to conclude the hour, not after her and Eric's new business partners kept her chained under a giant stake while grilling Eric about Sookie and whether or not she knows about The Cure.
Yes, Eric finally admitted to spare Pam, she does. So with Bill knocking on Sookie's door as the final scene, we enter next week's finale wondering how the showdown at Sookie's home will go.
And just how much we'll celebrate when this AWFULNESS comes to an end.
What did everyone else think of True Blood Season 7 Episode 9?

Broadcast technology student wins International Moving Image Society Award
Max May, a student who studied on the BSc (Hons) Broadcast Systems Technology course has been awarded an International Moving Image Society Award (IMIS).
Max, who graduated last year, was awarded the Chief Engineers of Facilities Forum (ChEFF) award for his third year work which he exhibited at last year's degree show. His project was a live virtual reality (VR) production suite involving 360 degree cameras which then fed into a vision mixer to broadcast pre-recorded footage of the degree show being set up. This was then streamed to the internet and could be viewed via Google Daydream/Oculus Rift.
David Spilsbury, Global Director of Technology, Moving Picture Company Advertising visited the 2017 degree show with his colleagues and was impressed by the diverse, well-presented array of projects.
David said: "I was impressed by Max's research into the psychology of live experience VR and his awareness of the issues faced by production teams creating live VR content.
"This is really the spirit that CHEFF was formed to foster - an engineering community sharing technical experiences and knowledge to come up with practical solutions."
Max commented: "I didn't expect to win anything at all. I know many industry experts visit our degree show but I wasn't expecting to win an award. I'm really thrilled."
Max was presented his award by Martin Uren, Vice President of IMIS and an associate lecturer on BSc (Hons) Broadcast Systems Technology course at Ravensbourne at the annual IMIS Awards. The awards took place at Regent Cinema in Soho where David Attenborough attended as an honorary guest. Max also received £1000 in prize money.

When a 23-year-old man walked into a suburban Sydney surgery complaining of a burning sensation when urinating, a court has heard, his elderly doctor didn't beat around the bush.
"Have you f***ed recently?" Claude Reitberger is said to have asked.
When his patient agreed he had, Reitberger leaned over and proceeded to masturbate the young man as he lay vulnerable and semi-naked on the examination table.
"The doctor said, 'Relax and enjoy it. I will, too'," Sydney's District Court heard on Friday.
But despite committing what Acting Judge Williams called a "grave breach of trust", Reitberger has walked free from court after promising never to attempt to return to medical practice.
The 76-year-old has already been stripped of his right to practise and has signed a statutory declaration stating we will never seek to return to his old job.
Reitberger was charged with two counts of indecent assault and one count of sexual intercourse without consent following the 2012 incident at his surgery.
But he was only found guilty of one count of indecent assault in May this year following a trial.
In sentencing him on Friday, Judge Williams said: "A doctor who commits a sexual offence against a patient is betraying a considerable trust, and that is the community trust placed in the doctor-patient relationship."
He said the septuagenarian continued to deny any wrongdoing, adding that although the former doctor agreed his language was "inappropriate", he liked to try to interact with patients on their level.
"However, he is to be sentenced for indecent assault and not for a bedside manner which may be regarded (as) inappropriate or unorthodox," the judge said.
He sentenced Reitberger to a year's imprisonment but suspended the term due to the combination of the former doctor's age, ill health and "the lack of clarity as to the rationale and the factors behind the verdict".

So who was Antonio Gramsci? An Italian communist who realized that Leninist Marxism wasn't going to work. So he created a new system staging a long march through the culture, especially in academia and the media. His method involved changing the attitudes of each generation and introducing Marxism that way.
Saul Alinsky was a key figure who employed Gramsci's ideas in the United States. Art Crino joins us to discuss the history of this creative Marxist whose work influences us today.
Then we'll air parts of an address John gave at Steeling the Mind in February, laying an historic trail how American values were so radically changed over just 50-60 years.
During his boralogue, John reads articles written around 1918 by the founder of progressive education, John Dewey. Already Dewey was thinking about converting education into a socialist collective along lines with the abolition of individualism.

At Newark Airport this morning, the skies got a little more friendly for Atlantic City.
United Airlines CEO Jeff Smeisik announced new direct flights from Chicago and Houston into Atlantic City International Airport.
"So I'm proud to be here today to announce new daily non-stop service beginning April 1 next year from our powerhouse hubs in Chicago and Houston to Atlantic City," said Smeisik.
They held it in Newark to maximize media attention.
Gov. Chris Christie, a media draw himself, said his Administration and the Legislature have gone to great efforts to pump new life into the casino town.
"In the end it's up to the businesses and people of Atlantic City and South Jersey as to the success or failure or our venture, but I don't think anyone can say any longer as had been said for many years with some justification that folks in the state capital and north of there did not understand or care about the needs of South Jersey and Atlantic City," said Christie.
Christie was scheduled to give a speech at 8 am in Philadelphia this morning but cancelled it because he's fighting a cold. The only reason he didn't cancel this announcement as well, said a spokeswoman, is that the CEO of United flew up from Houston to be here.
Senate President Steve Sweeney, a South Jersey resident and booster, also changed his schedule to be here, Christie said.
"Atlantic City for many years was the golden goose for the state of New Jersey. Everyone benefitted from it. Well, the goose got sick. And we needed it to get it healthy again. And when the governor and I started working on the casino district legislation, one thing we recognized is we needed to unlock the nation to come into Atlantic City," said Sweeney.
"You wanna bring a national convention in, people have to fly into Philly or Newark and commute over an hour to the city. With service from United coming in from Chicago and Houston you'll be 15 minutes away from the city. It's gonna be a tremendous help to marketing the city," said Sen. Jim Whelan.
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey chairman David Samson also spoke.
The Port Authority took over operation of Atlantic City airport this summer.
The governor said he's pleased Atlantic City appears to have gotten a new mayor last week.
His own travels take him to Washington for a big speech Monday, then a Republic Governors meeting in Arizona.

Risk analysis is mainly oriented toward the study of natural and environmental risks and their perception in the society, particularly by studying the phenomena on earth's surface and atmosphere that induce these risks.
Disasters take lives, cause devastation, impact individuals, families and communities and disrupt our socio-economic systems. On the face of it, it seems like disasters are becoming more common and more devastating. Everyone is at risk from disasters – either physically or socio-economically. However, some individuals, families and communities seem more vulnerable and experience greater losses than others. Successful disaster risk reduction involves understanding something about the processes of hazard events but also the socio-economic, political and cultural contexts in which hazardous events trigger disasters.
The NH&RA is an intradisciplinary group from the Computer Applications in Science and Engineering Department that focuses on innovating and pushing the boundaries of the state-of-the-art science and technology to develop risk-management solutions and tools that provide technical assistance for vulnerable communities worldwide in their effort to become more resilient against disasters.
We take a holistic approach to achieving resilience by integrating science and technology into informing risk management decisions at all times:
- Pre-event -> risk-reduction measures
- Intra-event -> real-time response
- Post-event -> quick and better recovery
- Developing Risk-assessment technologies providing access to scalable, real-time tools to assess risks to natural catastrophes (e.g. earthquakes, volcanos, flood, wildfires) or slow-onset disasters (e.g. food insecurity, extreme weather)
- Data access and analytics to provide a unified platform to access data in a common format from international agencies worldwide
- Resilience monitoring indexes to evaluate the resiliency of communities with respect to a pre-defined set of risks
- Vulnerability and adaptive capacity;

The charity chose The Remarkable Group following a five-way pitch. A spokesperson for the incumbent agency, Ascot-based TC Communications, said it declined to repitch after several years managing the account.
The brief focuses on raising the charity's profile among corporate and fundraising groups and the promotion of a new partnership with Sir Jimmy Savile's TV show Jim'll Fix It Strikes Again, airing on UK Gold.
It will also publicise the UK tour of US pop band The Fray, which has chosen Dreams Come True as its charity partner.
The agency will work on maximizing coverage around the hundreds of sponsored runners undertaking the London Marathon for the charity.
Dreams Come True fundraising manager Philip Pride said: 'Part of our objective is raising our national profile over the next three years. Every year in the UK 10,000 children are diagnosed with a terminal or serious illness and we want to be able to do something for all of them.'
Dreams Come True was founded 20 years ago. The account is led by Remarkable's PR director Chris Wotton who reports to fundraising manager Pride.

Jonathan Carver
Jonathan Carver (April 13, 1710 – January 31, 1780) was a colonial American military officer, explorer and writer. After his exploration of the northern Mississippi valley and western Great Lakes region, he published a widely read account of his expedition, Travels through America in the Years 1766, 1767, and 1768 (1778).
Carver was born in Weymouth, Province of Massachusetts Bay on April 13, 1710, the son of David and Hannah Dyer Carver. His father was modestly wealthy and was elected to various public positions in Weymouth and Canterbury. The family moved to Canterbury, Connecticut when Carver was still a young child. The details of his education are unknown but he was literate, taught himself surveying and cartography, and may have studied medicine at one time. He also apprenticed as a cobbler. On October 20, 1746 he married Abigail Robins and they eventually had five children together. Around 1748, Carver moved his young family to Montague, Massachusetts, at the time a small frontier settlement where he served as a selectman.[1][2]
In 1755 Carver joined the Massachusetts colonial militia at the start of the French and Indian War. In 1757, Carver, a friend of Robert Rogers, enlisted with Burke's Rangers. Burke's Rangers would in 1758 become a part of Rogers' Rangers.[3] During the war he studied surveying and mapping techniques. He was successful in the military and eventually became captain of a Massachusetts regiment in 1761. Two years later he quit the army with a determination to explore the new territories acquired by the British as a result of the war.
Initially Carver was unable to find a sponsor for his proposed explorations but in 1766, Robert Rogers contracted Carver to lead an expedition to find a western water route to the Pacific Ocean, the Northwest Passage. There was a great incentive to discover this route. The king and Parliament had promised a vast prize in gold for any such discovery. The eastern route to the Pacific was around the Cape of Good Hope. That route was both lengthy and contested by competing European powers.
In 1766-67 he explored parts of present-day Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa, mainly along the upper Mississippi River. When he returned east, however, his efforts were not recognized. He sailed to England in 1769, seeking recompense, and remained there for the rest of his life. In 1778 he published a book on his travels, which became very successful. He died in 1780.
Following his death, some of his heirs claimed to that he had obtained a land grant from two Sioux chiefs for a large area of eastern Wisconsin during his voyage; however, the grant was legally invalid and may have been a later fraud.
Carver, Minnesota, Carver County, Minnesota and Jonathan Association in Chaska, Minnesota were named in honor of Jonathan Carver for his exploration and mapping of the region.[4]
Travels and exploration[edit]
Carver left Fort Michilimackinac at present-day Mackinaw City, Michigan in the spring of 1766. Taking large fur-trading canoes, he traveled the well-utilized trade routes of the French. His route took him along the northern coast of Lake Michigan, cut across to the Door Peninsula (what is now Door County) in Wisconsin and proceeded along the western edge of the bay until reaching what is now Green Bay, Wisconsin.
There was a small Metis settlement at the foot of Green Bay (Lake Michigan), as well as a French monastery nearby in De Pere, Wisconsin. Carver resupplied here and then continued. He traveled up the Fox River to the Winnebego Indian village at the north end of Lake Winnebago at the site of the present city of Neenah, Wisconsin. Continuing up the Fox River he eventually arrived at the "Grand Portage" a well used portage between the Fox River and the Wisconsin River. This was a major fur trade location because from here (now Portage, Wisconsin) furs could proceed from the Great Lakes to the Wisconsin River, hence to the Mississippi and New Orleans.
Carver crossed to the Wisconsin River and then traveled down the Mississippi emerging at the great trade encampment at Prairie du Chien. Rather than turn south towards New Orleans, his expedition turned north into what is now Minnesota. By the late summer he had reached the Saint Anthony Falls at what is now Minneapolis. He spent some time with the tribe near the falls but turned south, down the Mississippi to find a more suitable place to spend the winter. During this portion of the trip he discovered Carver's Cave.
He spent the winter in a tribal village in what is now eastern Iowa. The next spring he encountered James Tute and James Stanley Goddard, who had been sent to accompany Carver on his journey. They continued exploring and mapping up the Mississippi River through what is now Minnesota, and Wisconsin. They then headed for Grand Portage on Lake Superior, hoping that Rogers had sent supplies there for them. However, instead of supplies they found a letter from him chiding them for having spent as much money as they already had and warning them to be more thrifty in the future. Unable to proceed without the badly needed supplies, they headed back to Fort Michilimackinac, arriving there on August 29, 1767.
He found that his sponsor Royal Governor Robert Rogers was under suspicion of plotting treason against England. On December 6, 1767, Rogers was arrested, charged with treason, placed in irons and put in solitary confinement. While he spent a miserable winter in an unheated guardhouse, Carver probably spent time preparing his journal of the expedition for publication. In the spring of 1768 the first ship of the season took Carver and Rogers both to Detroit. Carver travelled in the relative comfort of a passenger cabin, while Rogers was forced to sit out the journey seated upon the ballast rocks in the hold of the ship. Rogers was taken to Montreal to be court-martialed, and although he was found not guilty of the charges against him, he was not returned to his position as Royal Governor. Carver submitted a list of expenses to his superiors, but payment was denied on the grounds that Rogers had not had sufficient authority to order such an expedition.
Carver was outraged. He believed that he had been legitimately hired by the Crown to map and explore the newly acquired territory. He believed that he had possibly identified a Northwest Passage. He had spent two years working and now had little to show for it but maps and log books. No one seemed interested. In 1769 Carver left for England to petition the government for his promised payment and for a reward for identifying a potential Northwest Passage.
He left his wife Abigail in the colonies and never saw her again. He spent the remainder of his life petitioning the [English] government for his payments. He did in fact ultimately get two separate grants from the crown, although not the great reward for identifying a Northwest Passage. While working at this lobbying endeavor he wrote his Travels ... book, and started a second family in London.
The book[edit]
Carver's book was an immediate success when first published in 1778, and a second edition published in Dublin followed the next year; over thirty editions and versions have been published since in several languages. The publication of this book was a significant event in the history of the exploration of the American West as Carver was the first English-speaking explorer to venture west of the upper Mississippi River. He anticipated the idea of a continental divide as he was the first to mention a large mountain range to the west (presumably the Rocky Mountains) that blocks the westward passage and serves as a continental divide. Further, the name 'Oregon' appears in print here for the first time, both in the text, and on one of the maps. Carver penetrated farther into the West than any other English explorer before the Revolution and stimulated curiosity concerning routes to the Pacific, later satisfied by Mackenzie and Lewis and Clark. The book proved and remained immensely popular. The profits did not come soon enough for him, however. He died in poverty on January 31, 1780 in London.
In the 20th century, the reliability of Carver's narrative has been debated by scholars; examination of Carver's manuscript journal establishes that it differs in important respects from the published version. More recent research points to the conclusion that while Carver actually made the tour he describes, he suppressed the fact that he performed it as a hired agent of Royal Governor Major Robert Rogers, rather than on his own responsibility.
E.G. Bourne, in a 1906 essay published in the American Historical Review, summarized his view of Carver's book: "Scholars are in general agreement that much of the work in this volume is an abridgement or adaptation of historical writings by Charlevoix, Adair, and La Hontan. Entire chapters read as near verbatim text from one or more of these other authors." [5]
Carver's grant[edit]
After Carver's death, Dr. John Coakley Lettsom purchased the copyrights to the book and had published a third edition [1781]. Lettsom claimed he had in his possession a deed, signed by two chiefs of the Sioux, giving Carver title to about 10,000 square miles (30,000 km2) in what is now Wisconsin and Minnesota. The deed could not be located after the death of Carver's London widow.
In 1804, a group of descendants of Carver petitioned the U.S. Congress for ownership rights to a large tract of land in Wisconsin and Minnesota, claiming that the deed supposedly dated at the "Great Cave, May the 1st, 1767" entitled Carver and his family to over 10,000 square miles (30,000 km2) of land. Specifically they identified; "the whole of a certain tract or territory of land, bounded as follows, viz.: from the Falls of St. Anthony, running on the east bank of the Mississippi, nearly southeast, as far as Lake Pepin, where the Chippewa joins the Mississippi, and from thence eastward, five days travel, accounting twenty English miles per day, and from thence again to the Falls of St. Anthony, on a direct straight line." This triangular tract in northwestern Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota would have been bounded by lines running from modern Minneapolis southeast to Pepin, then due east to near Stevens Point, and from there northwest roughly through Eau Claire to Minneapolis.
Congress investigated their claim and ultimately concluded that English law at the time prohibited any land grants to individuals. They also concluded that Carver himself never made any mention of such a grant in his book or afterwards, and finally that no Indians in the region had any knowledge of such a transaction having been made by their grandparents' generation; in 1817, Sioux elders in St. Paul had even told Carver's heirs that no chiefs with the names on the deed had ever existed. Congress concluded, on Jan. 29, 1823, not to permit Carver's heirs the rights to this land in Wisconsin. Land speculators and con-men nevertheless continued to promote the sale of portions of "Carver's Grant" for another half century.
According to the Wisconsin Historical Society:
Modern scholars who have reviewed all the evidence cannot confirm the existence of any such grant to Carver, who never mentioned it in surviving records. They have, however, documented a great deal of deceit, manipulation, and self-delusion by his heirs and their agents as they attempted to sell portions of the land in the decades following his death.[6]

- A Treatise on the Culture of the Tobacco plant; with the manner in which it is usually cured adapted to northern climates and designed for the use of the landholders of Great Britain. London, 1779 - "Written during the American War of Independence (1775–1783), or as Carver delicately puts it 'the present unhappy dissentions,' when trade was disrupted, this treatise details the methods required to grow tobacco in Britain. Carver argues that two acts of parliament from the reign of Charles II prohibiting the cultivation of tobacco should be repealed. Carver felt that the landowner would profit, revenue could be restored to the treasury by means of a duty on the plants, and smokers would be more than satisfied with the 'powerful aromatic' tobacco produced in a northern climate."
A 2005 episode of the Discovery Channel series A Haunting includes claims that the ghost of Carver tormented residents of Summerwind, a former estate on the coast of West Bay Lake in Wisconsin.[7]
Jonathan Carver's papers are available for research use. They include photostatic copies of a journal of Carver's expedition to the Mississippi River (1766–1767), a Survey journal, and a Dictionary of the Naudowessee language, and typed transcripts of these documents; copies of surveys and deeds to the Carver land grant of 1767, which encompassed some four million acres in present-day western Wisconsin; copies of letters about the French and Indian War (1759) and James Tute's gifts to the Indians (1768); copies of two petitions to the British government (1769–1770) asking that Carver be reimbursed for his expedition to the Mississippi; and a copy of a recommendation by the British government on this request.[8]

The zucchini pop! Just kidding... unless it totally takes off. And then, I want all the credit for this idea.
At least William approves... just another reason that I need to put in a garden next spring! The other reasons being basil and cilantro and the fact that they died in the little window containers I tried to grow them in. So maybe that's a reason against putting a garden in? We'll see how I feel in the spring.

18:12 16-2-0
A report released this afternoon by the Delta Omega Iota Alliance's Policing Division has revealed that piracy is on the increase in nearly every region under DOIA control. In many regions it has increase by over 50% over last year's figures, and in some inner regions, such as Cascade it has shown growth of up to 600%.
A recent series of high profile attacks by pirate groups operating from poorly policed space on the borders between DOIA and it's enemy's on large freighter vessels and even military ships have brought the once rare crime of piracy into the spotlight. Many shipping companies operating in the border regions have been forced to hire mercenaries and security forces to protect their shipments from marauding criminals. Several of the largest corporations in the Delta Pact have banded together to demand better protection from the Combined Delta Military. The report estimated that over 70 thousand lives and 16 billion credits were lost to pirates in the last year; causing a small, but noticeable dent in the alliance economy.
The report comes only days after the Canthian Federation Military freighter, Vaskarl, was hijacked by ships from the so-called "Burning Skull" gang. The group of cruisers escorting the Vaskarl were destroyed in the engagement and the freighter has been missing since it broadcast a distress call more than 27 hours ago.
When asked for his response to the threat of piracy, Supreme Commander Ardugrafar, dismissed it as an unfortunate reality of an unstable and war-torn galaxy. In an impromptu press conference outside the Canthian military base on Daskaros, he stated: "We are doing all we can to protect our citizens from any threat against them, but we cannot hope to keep everyone compeltely safe all of the time. Obviously we have greater concerns than a few pirates and we cannot afford to divert our attention to the far greater threats that face us. The "Burning Skulls", however, will not be causing any further trouble in Adea or any other region."
He refused to comment further on how the pirates had been dealt with aside from confirming that their leader, the infamous Gazak Dreadfist, was dead. He also announced that the Vaskarl was believed to have been destroyed by the pirates after her cargo had been removed.
Police commanders across DOIA have reacted to the report with statements pledging to do more to combat piracy.

Holy Cross Energy (HCE), a nonprofit rural electric cooperative based in western Colorado, has announced a renewable energy swap agreement with Colorado wholesale energy company Guzman Energy.
The two-way power purchase agreement (PPA) will enable the development of a new 100 MW wind farm to serve HCE's members. Once the new wind resources enter service in 2021, the PPA will support HCE's clean energy and greenhouse-gas reduction goals, as outlined in its seventy70thirty plan earlier this year, calling for 70% clean energy by 2030.
"With today's announcement, HCE continues to lead the responsible transition to a clean energy future while maintaining affordable and reliable electricity to our members," says Bryan Hannegan, president and CEO of HCE. "Our new partnership with Guzman Energy will raise the amount of renewable energy in our power supply mix to almost 70 percent by 2021 – nine years earlier than promised. We are gratified that our agreement with Guzman Energy will also allow them to increase the amount of renewable energy in their power mix."
Additionally, Guzman Energy will use, as necessary, HCE's stake in Unit 3 of the Comanche Generating Station in Pueblo, Colo., a 750 MW coal-fired generating unit.
"This deal allows HCE to meet their renewable energy goals without increasing cost, adds more renewables to the grid in the West and supplements Guzman's overall resource mix with reliable baseload as needed," says Jeff Heit, managing director at Guzman Energy. "It's another example of what can be accomplished if stakeholders work together to find innovative ways to transition to the new energy economy."

|Dave's spinach pie
Big bag (300g) of spinach leaves
1/2 a medium onion
2-3 cloves of garlic
Large pinch of mixed herbs
Salt and pepper
Sliced tomato (optional)
Rasher of bacon (optional)
Puff pastry
Grated cheese
1 beaten egg
Put the spinach into boiling water for a minute or two until it has wilted. Repeatedly drain and squeeze the spinach to remove as much water as possible. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 220c.
Finely chop onion and garlic and cook together over a medium heat until soft but not browned.
Mix onion with spinach, herbs and seasoning. At this point you can also add a sliced tomato or a chopped, cooked bacon rasher.
Lay out a sheet (27 x 24cm) of puff pastry on a flat baking tray. A tray with a lip is best in case liquid from the pie filling leaks during baking. Fold the pastry in two and then unfold it again to leave a visible half-way line. Put all the mixture on one side of the line and spread it evenly, but leaving about 1/2 inch of pastry clear at the edges.
Sprinkle as much or as little grated cheese as you like over the spinach mixture. We like lots of cheese, but this does make the pie more greasy when it is cooked.
Fold the pastry over and crimp securely all around the edges to seal in the filling. Brush the top of the pastry with as much of the egg as is needed. Make two or three cuts in the top to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake at about 220c for 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and you can hear the filling bubbling when you open the oven door.

LAKE WORTH — Real estate developer Hudson Holdings is scheduled to hold a meeting on Monday to make its pitch — again — on why it should be selected to develop the Lake Worth Casino complex.
Last month, both Hudson and real estate brokerage firm Anderson & Carr made presentations to city commissioners and residents at a work session that lasted nearly four hours.
Hudson pitched a restaurant (possibly another Benny's on the Beach), retail stores, a free club-spa city residents, a new pool and parking, while Anderson & Carr proposed a Mediterranean restaurant on the second floor and a deli. The company also wants to manage the casino ballroom, with plans to rent it out for events.
Many residents at the meeting, however, were underwhelmed, saying the city should simply rent the vacant space instead of developing it.
Mayor Pam Triolo said she was "embarrassed" at the way representatives for Hudson Holdings and Anderson & Carr were treated at the meeting.
"We can't make people feel horrible," she said.
Hudson is billing Monday's meeting as an "open, courteous conversation" to discuss the project.
The meeting is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. and will be held at the Lake Worth Casino ballroom.

Well after the months of waiting the Olympic Games are here … Yee-har-hoo!
How excited the British press has been waiting with bated breath expecting and hoping that it all goes awry. Why is it that as individuals we don't like making fools of ourselves but hope/expect that collectively as a nation we will do so? – bit odd us Brits.
Sad that but as all the eyes of the world are upon us let's focus on the positive and make sure it goes well – after all we are paying for it and have spent years building a team to win!!
Mind, not that you'd have thought that if you'd spent the last few years listening to the pronouncements of LOCOG who throw a hissy fit if you try to use the words London 2012 or dare to show the Olympic rings on any marketing material without first giving them a bung (or sponsorship as it's more politely known).
So let's hope Team GB do well, London does well and everybody in the UK celebrates, has fun and remembers once again – as we did for the Jubilee – all that's good about England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

Tips to burn fat under 20mins
Looking to crank up your rate of fat burning? If so, you need to be paying attention to a form of training called high intensity interval training (HIIT). Of all the various ways that you could exercise out there, this is the form of training that will yield not only the best fitness improvements, but the best fat loss as well.
Looking to crank up your rate of fat burning? If so, you need to be paying attention to a form of training called high intensity interval training (HIIT). Of all the various ways that you could exercise out there, this is the form of training that will yield not only the best fitness improvements, but the best fat loss as well.
The main reason why HIIT is so good for fat burning purposes is because of what it will do to your metabolic rate. Most workout programs have you burning calories while you do them however after you're finished, your metabolism returns back to baseline. With HIIT, you continue to burn calories for up to 48 hours after the workout is completed.
Did we mention that it only takes 15-20 minutes to complete? For those with a busy schedule who want fast results, it's a win-win solution.
Let's look at what HIIT is and how you can start including it in your own workout routine.
What Is HIIT
What you will be doing in this form of training is alternating between very intense bouts of an exercise with active rest periods that typically last about twice as long.
So for instance, you might do 30 seconds of very intense running and then after that, stop and do 60 seconds of walking.
You would then go on to repeat this process 5-10 times, totaling 15-20 minutes for the workout session. How long you choose to make each interval is your decision, however it's best if you can keep it between 15-60 seconds in length for the work period and two to three times that length for the rest period, depending on your current physical conditioning level.
Be sure that you also add a five-minute warm-up and cool-down to the start and end of your HIIT workout to prepare the body for exercise and cool yourself down after you're finished.
How To Set Up Your Own HIIT Workout
Now, to set up your own HIIT workout, you'll want to select your mode of training. If doing this at home, chances are you won't have a treadmill to hop on, so you can choose some basic bodyweight exercises instead.
These will help you get your heart rate up, push your body, and work your muscles all at once. The only rule that you need to satisfy for an exercise to be a good one for HIIT is that it works you to full capacity. If it does that, you're set.
Below is an example of a HIIT circuit workout that should take roughly 12 minutes to complete. Do this three times per week, taking a day off between sessions and be prepared to see your rate of fat loss skyrocket.
Perform each exercise listed below for 30 seconds, marching in place for 60 seconds after you've completed it. Start with five minutes of light warm-up exercises such as arm and leg swings and finish with five minutes of stretching.
Mountain Climbers
Squat Jumps
Lunge Jumps
Running Knee Raises
Tuck Jumps

As great as it is though, if all you do is run you might be leaving a lot of your performance potential on the table. If you want to enjoy running more by being pain and injury free and even venture into breaking your personal records, cross-training might just be what you need to become a better and stronger runner.
Running is an amazing form of exercise. It burns calories, can be immensely meditative, and is one of those workout forms that you can do on your own or as part of a group.
As great as it is though, if all you do is run you might be leaving a lot of your performance potential on the table. If you want to enjoy running more by being pain and injury free and even venture into breaking your personal records, cross-training might just be what you need to become a better and stronger runner.
What is Cross-Training?
Cross-training is simply doing exercises that are outside of your primary mode of working out. Based on this definition, it can be used by runners and other sportswomen alike. Its primary purpose is to foster balance in any training plan and in doing so it aids recovery and can even help you be a better athlete in your chosen activity (or sport).
As a runner (or jogger), the primary muscles you use are the muscles of your lower body all the way from your butt to the small muscles in the base of your feet. A cross-training regimen for you can involve strength training to help build stronger leg and butt or glute muscles, and also for your upper body to support your running goals.
Why is Cross-Training Important to Your as a Runner?
Constantly training the same muscles in the same way will eventually lead to what is called a plateau. What this means is that you will eventually stop seeing the progress that drew you to running in the first place. So if your goal is to lose weight, your weight loss might stall; and if your goal is to continue to improve your personal best times, you might find yourself looking at a lack of improvement in your times.
There are several reasons why plateaus occur, but the primary cause is that you don't run as hard as you used to. Here are three possible reasons why:
Overtraining: This can occur if you run increasingly long distances close together without giving your body the chance to rest. Your muscles and even your mind can eventually get tired from the continuous effort and you might find yourself falling out of love with your favorite form of exercise.
Boredom: This can come on its own or pair up with overtraining. Being successful with anything in life requires engagement and when you are doing the same runs on the same trails to the same music over and over, you might find yourself getting disengaged (i.e. bored) with your love.
Not Tapping into Your Full Potential: A runner is so much more than the strength of her legs. Being able to run fast or long requires muscular endurance, good lung capacity, and a strong core. While running can help you build these, there are other forms of exercise that do a better job of helping you build these components of being a strong runner.
What Types of Exercise Qualify as Cross-Training?
Any form of exercise that isn't running qualifies as cross-training, but for the purpose of this article we'll focus on forms of exercise that can help you increase muscular endurance, core strength, lung capacity, and speed.
Strength Training: Strength moves such as squats and lunges work all the major muscles used in running. Stronger leg muscles will leave you less prone to injuries that can keep you away from the sport you love. On the other end of the spectrum strength moves like core planks and pushups can be used to build core strength while crafting a more balanced physique.
Yoga: While yoga is associated with the interesting positions, the practice is a great way to improve your lung capacity. Breath work is an integral part of a yoga practice and all breathing is required to be done through your nose. When you are in a yoga class and feel the urge to breathe through your mouth, the instruction is always to slow down and return to the practice when your breath has calmed down. This learned skill will improve your running first by helping you increase your lung capacity over time from deep breathing in interesting positions. It also has the advantage of helping you stay in tune with how you feel during your runs. This means that you know to slow down when you need to and speed up when you feel like you have recovered, and you will have enough gas to race past your personal finish line.
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): This form of training can be a huge calorie burner and isn't exactly a recovery workout, so when using this as part of your regimen go for short sessions of 15 to 20 minutes to get the benefits.Using agility drills that require you to change direction laterally as part of your workout can help strengthen your inner and outer thighs and improve your ability to overtake other runners when in the middle of a race.
How Can I Fit a Cross-Training Routine into My Already Busy Schedule?
If you haven't been doing any cross-training activity in the past, you will start to see some benefit with even the smallest additions to your training schedule.
A small training addition can be as little as ten minutes of strength training. For example, doing ten minutes of upper body strength moves after your run on Monday and doing ten minutes of lower body moves after your warm up but before your run on Wednesdays is a good start. The key is to start small and build as you start to feel more confident in your ability to carve out the time.
For now your task should be to identify the parts of your current exercise regimen that can count as cross-training. If you don't have anything yet, start to map out how can you incorporate non-running movement forms in your regimen to make you a stronger runner.

No one wants to receive a diagnosis telling them that the lump they found under their skin or the pain that they've been having in their abdomen is a tumor. These masses can cause a whole host of health problems and even be classified as a type of malignant cancer. There are a variety of treatment options for different types of tumors ranging anywhere from surgery to chemotherapy depending on what type of tumor you have. You may opt for traditional treatments or you may be interested in working with Antonio for alternative healing paths and opportunities.
What are tumors?
Tumors are a specific grouping of abnormal cells that have grown out of control and unregulated to form a mass in your body. There are two types of tumors: benign and malignant. Benign tumors are noncancerous balls of cells that grow. These tumors can cause fewer problems, but they can still be uncomfortable, unsightly, or even continue to grow in size unchecked. Malignant tumors are a form of cancer that will continue to grow and metastasize, causing widespread cancer throughout your body over time. The trouble with tumors is that while some are benign or easily operable, others are not and can become life threatening.
How can Antonio Silva help with tumors?
As an intuitive healer, Antonio is able to work with your remotely to relieve any pain and symptoms from your tumor and even help you heal. His prior work has prepared him to work with a variety of individuals on their health conditions and diseases in order to be rejuvenated through alternative healing.

The "Greenway" Forward
Members of Sligo-Leitrim Greenway tourism project pictured at the Ballymascanlan House Hotel, Dundalk, Co Louth on April 9.
The Sligo-Leitrim Greenway tourism project members were participating in a cross border tourism conference entitled 'The Greenway Forward for Tourism, Health and Sport'.
The members of the project are pictured with MEP Mairead McGuinness at the conference.
Pictured (l-r) Brian Smyth, Drumshanbo; Colin McKenna, Irish Central Border Area Network; MEP Mairead McGuinness; Julian Cartin; Rosemary Kerrigan of Sligo-Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway (SLNCR); Chairperson of SLNCR, Robert Doyle and Jim McMorrow, Manorhamilton.
Their vision is to provide a great amenity for the local community and visitors alike. Local families and visitors could walk off road, and cyclists, wheelchair users could take to a purpose built path(s) in complete safety. The route goes inland, from County Sligo and along Lough Gill up through the valley of the River Bonet, under the North Leitrim Glens and on into the Lakelands of Cavan and Fermanagh.

This year, I was able to travel to Greenville SC to witness with other Christians at the Fall for Greenville Festival. I was able to spend time teaching some young ladies to use new tools for evangelism. I love using my trivia board to gather people to talk to, and training others to do the same. Here you can see these two young ladies enjoying witnessing using the trivia board.
Before the Greenville outreach started I was able to participate in an outreach at an abortion clinic. This was the first time I tried to do this where the Moms drive into the clinic and a person has to wave down the cars to get them to stop. I was surprised that I was able to get 3 women to stop and roll down their window and talk to me. I put little rubber babies into the hands of three women.. I told them their baby was made in God's image and was the size of the baby I put into their hands. Then I walked them through the good person test. One of the women left and then came back but, two of the women left and did not come back. Here is a picture of me talking to one of the women that left the clinic.
We enjoyed our Biblical Relationships retreat on October 25-26. There were many wonderful teachings at the retreat. We all felt refreshed and challenged going back home. We learned about conflict resolution, boundaries in friendships, dating with a purpose and dating your spouse when you are married. Since we are CCN, and we are all about sharing our faith, we went out witnessing each night after the retreat. You can see many pictures of the retreat here.
This is a picture of a crowd that was gathered in Times Square.
We also took one morning to go to the Margaret Sanger NYC Planned Parenthood. One young lady was convinced not to go into the abortion clinic that morning. I spoke with her for about 30 minutes and then walked her down to the subway. She was given lots of information about where she could get other kinds of help. We open air evangelized, handed out tracts, talked to the women to see if we could talk them out of murdering their babies and we wrote on the sidewalks with chalk. We wrote messages like "A FETUS IS A BABY", "CHOOSE LOVE and CHOOSE LIFE", "DO NOT MURDER", "WHEN IS IT OK TO MURDER A BABY IN A MOTHERS WOMB? NEVER". We did this so that when we are not at the clinic we still have a presence.
Here is a picture of me talking to the young lady that left the abortion clinic.
Before the retreat I had time to visit LCC campus and was able to witness to students and invite some to Bible Study. The following picture is a women that was so excited to hear that there was Bible Study at LCC.
Many great teachings were taught on the campuses this month. Here is a picture of Andre teaching at MCCC. He was teaching on how to get to the gospel when talking with unbelievers. This is always an important lesson for all of us to learn. We need to be friendly, use humor, ask questions and always carry gospel tracts with us.
We like to meet in public places so that other students will see us and want to join in the Bible Study. Here is a picture of Nick teaching on the Bible in the cafeteria.
On the campuses we spend a good deal of time witnessing to students. We even witness to students that say that the are Christians. Often times the students that claim to be Christians have never really heard the good news of Jesus and are so grateful to finally understand. Here is one of our Assistant Campus Leaders Aishah witnessing at LCC.
The students enjoy the fellowship each month with other Christian students. We are all about teaching the Bible and witnessing but it is good to eat with each other and enjoy fellowship. Here is a picture of students enjoying fellowship at CCNY.
Thank You so much for supporting CCN. To God be the glory!

Kids Tend To Play With Gadgets More Often Than Toys – A New Study Says
Ever since technology was introduced to kids many people including parents have been asking themselves one simple question and that is whether or not kids tend to play with their gadgets more than the traditional toys that we all grew with. If you were a toy lover while you were young then chances are high that you played with a number of traditional dolls such as Barbie or even Ken. But sadly though, this is not the case with the new generation of kids as they prefer to play twisting games on their iPhone as opposed to actually playing the real twist that will see them actually twisting plastic arms that are actually real. The same also applies when it comes to unpacking a board game, when we were young unpacking a board game was without a doubt one of the most common game that there is but now with the new technology kids prefer to alleviate boredom by simply using their iPad.
This particular fact, is also highlighted in a study that was conducted by child-education specialists from the Michael Cohen group on the same subject matter. According to the findings of the study, there is an increase in the number of kids that are embracing new technology as opposed to those that are using traditional dolls such as Barbie.
The study mainly focused on the world of today's kids, a world that has been highly influenced largely by technology. In the study, the researchers found out that 60% of those parents interviewed stated that their kids who are aged between 12 played with touch screen devices such as iPhone on a day to day basis. 38% of parents who took part in the survey stated that their kids use them very often.

Pinnacles National Monument, East EntranceI've been so active on Nature ID lately that I don't want to leave some of you hanging. I'm heading to Italy and will get back to blogging in a couple of weeks. Sorry, most travel pics aren't posted here since they're outside of my "local nature" criteria for this blog. "Local" is defined as within a couple hours drive from the Central Coast of California. I'll publish your blog comments and reply once I return.

I spotted the first crane flies of the season in our stairwell last night. I'll be sad to miss capturing pics and posting the steady procession of at least 5 different crane fly species in the coming weeks. It's really quite a sight and I've been planning to document the timing of the different crane fly emergences since I started this blog last year... but who can say no to Rome?
As a heads up, the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History is hosting the 49th Annual Wildflower Show, with much hard work by the local Monterey Chapter of the California Native Plant Society, on Friday, April 16-Sunday, April 18, 2010, 10am-5pm each day. It's well worth the $3 donation if you're interested in native plants! Usually, there are easily over 675 species and considering our spring rains, I'm expecting a bonanza year. I suggest going first thing Friday when all the cut wildflowers are still fresh. Vern Yadon, former director of PGMNH and author of Wildflowers of Monterey County initiated this annual wildflower exhibition and despite his gaining years is dedicated to spending an exhausting Thursday before the show-opening to ID every plant specimen brought in from the area (note: for some rare plants, he's managed to grow in pots to avoid the whole cutting issue). The CNPS members sell recommended plant ID books and will answer your questions. Last year I researched online and figured the CNPS's show is consistently the 2nd largest in the world, in terms of identified, wildflower species count. The granddaddy of them all is Western Australia's Ravensthorpe Wildflower Show. Some wildflower shows in South Africa are impressive, but they don't seem to be as consistent.
May you all enjoy the early weeks of spring's blessings!

It's Saturday! We made it through this crazy week with many tantrums, fights and headaches. I am not sure what has possessed my children but they are on another level y'all.
Anyone else have kids who are going completely bonkers?
Thursday I hit my max with them. It was funny though because later that night Facebook (they are listening, ha!) had an ad for no yelling parenting or something like that. A free webinar. And I signed up for it that second. It was SO helpful. I watched it and it just kind of helps you prevent tantrums and getting upset with your kids. I highly recommend it. Go here to check out the webinar and sign up if you are feeling a bit desperate.
The biggest take away is setting the expectation before going somewhere and making related consequences Totally changed how I could have handled the situation earlier in the day. But let me give you a rundown of what happened.
Thursday started out pretty great. I went and worked out, had my me time then headed home. Got the girls for swim while Ace hung out with Branden. The girls did great during swim but Everly was throwing the biggest tantrum because of her seat in the car and wanting to hit the handicap button to open the doors. Tears and screaming. When this girl gets going you seriously want to just run away from her. She is my intense child. Sadly, I was the exact same way so I can relate to her feeling out of control.
We get home and I talk to her and I can just tell she is worn out and tired. She likes a schedule and Summer has thrown her off.
After we have lunch and chill out for a bit we go to Kat's house and leave the kids for a bit to do some work. We get home and everyone is in a great mood. We tell them since they were so awesome we will take them to Chick-fil-A for dinner and ice cream. We figured it would be great for them to get more energy out.
They have a great time playing but Everly definitely had some emotional outbursts. Finally it was time to go. She was exhausted and just being a mess. Ace was also being a bit crazy and not really listening. I finally said no one but Ashlyn is going to Chuck E. Cheese for our fun Friday trip. I get them in the car and tell them the way they acted was unacceptable and it was not the way we act in a restaurant.
We get home and I make Ace and Everly call Kat to apologize for acting out and then Ace wrote an I'm sorry letter to me on why he was sorry and how to be better in a restaurant.
I talked to my one friend about what to do and she gave me some advice. I then listened to that webinar. It all helped so much. Sometimes I feel like we can feel overwhelmed and lost on how to handle certain situations and behaviors. Especially when we get overwhelmed with their behaviors. Not one parent on this planet is perfect and handles every meltdown or tantrum with grace and patience. We just have to be better next time. And kids will throw you for a loop, last Summer my kids were awesome. No fighting and just played together like they were best friends. This Summer is the exact opposite.
I decided with Everly I need to figure out a better schedule for her. She loves structure and the days she has crossfit in the mornings she does so much better. The days we start things later in the day she has meltdowns. She also needs more downtime so we need to work on that as well. She can be the sweetest, funniest little angel but she definitely struggles when things become too much for her. We call her our intense child because she loves big and gets upset big. I was very, very similar as a child so I try to remember how I felt around her age when things became too much for me.
