Cougar Women Looking For Sweep of Oregon Schools
Feb. 16, 2008
FIRST GLANCE The Washington State women's basketball team, coming off of its first Pacific-10 Conference victory in more than a year, closes its home stand against Oregon Sunday at Friel Court. The Cougars and Ducks are slated to tip-off at 2 p.m.
THE COUGARSThe Cougars are led by Katie Appleton. The junior guard is WSU's only player averaging double figures (12.3 points per game). Appleton is also the team's top 3-point shooter (40.7 percent), and leads WSU in steals (1.70 per game) and free throw shooting (72.6 percent). Junior center Ebonee Coates leads the Cougars in rebounding (5.3 per game). Freshman guard Kezia Kelly leads the team with 2.32 assists per game.
LAST TIME OUTThe Washington State women's basketball team, led by juniors Ebonee Coates and Heather Molzen, posted its first Pacific-10 Conference victory in more than a year with a 56-52 win over Oregon State in the inaugural Pink Out Friday at Friel Court. Coates and Molzen each recorded double-doubles, the first of their careers, giving WSU a pair of players scoring and rebounding in double figures for the first time since Jan. 28, 2006 against Arizona. Coates scored a career-high 18 points and pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds, her second double-digit rebounding game of the season. Molzen added 10 points and a career-high 10 rebounds, as the Cougars improved to 4-20 on the season and 1-12 in the Pac-10. The Beavers dropped to 10-15 overall and 3-11 in conference play.
SCOUTING OREGONSami Whitcomb's three-pointer with 1:26 remaining gave Washington its first lead of the second half, and the Ducks could not recover, falling 61-60 on Friday night at Bank of America Arena. The loss was the seventh straight for the Ducks. Sophomore guard Taylor Lilley is the Ducks' only double-digit scorer at 12.0 points per game. Lilly leads the team in 3-point shooting, hitting 35 percent of her attempts. Senior guard Kaela Chapdelaine leads the team in rebounding, pulling down 5.8 per game, and is also the team's assists leader (3.8 per game).
THE SERIESEarlier this season against the Ducks, WSU, then the third-best 3-point shooting team in the conference at 33.4 percent, hit just 7-of-25 (28.0 percent) attempts against Oregon, falling 64-45 at McArthur Court. However, the Cougar defense also stepped upheld the Ducks to just 14.3-percent from beyond the arc (3-of-21).
WSU has found itself on the wrong side of the scoreboard in each of the last three meetings. The Cougars trail in the all-time series 10-51, with their last victory coming Feb. 18, 2006 (68-53).
NEXT UPThe Cougar women hit the road for the final time before the Pacific-10 Conference Tournament next week, taking on the Arizona schools. WSU and Arizona State will meet Feb. 21, and then the Cougars take on Arizona Feb. 23.

Backlinks are the soul of any website and without them you are not going to succeed in your overall race for the 1st line in google search results. Well I have posted many articles based on free backlinks like the 2500+ free backlinks and 150+ free backlinks and one about social monkey providing you with 25+ free backlinks on daily basis for optimizing your each and every post.
Well but today I just found another online tool or website providing you with 1000+ free backlinks right to your personal blog or website.
PingMyLink.com works similar to what 2500+ backlinks article redirects you too but it has some more websites in different niches. The process for the submission is the same you just visit there website and than add your domain name and click on the submit option.
Now it will start indexing your website, so you do not need to close that website until everything single website has your domain indexed with them.
So hopefully it will gain your some backlinks, I cannot guarantee any positive effects from it as I have just tried indexing my website and lets see if alexa indexes these backlinks.

The soft teal coloring, with gray and black accents are adorable together. They make for a color scheme that you can really build your son's nursery on. The best part, it isn't so masculine looking that you couldn't mix it up with some feminine colors and use it in a girl's nursery as well.

Speak by Laurie Halse AndersonPosted: December 13, 2011 Filed under: Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson | Tags: Ages 13 - 18, Issues, Life Is Hard, Mental Emotional and Behavioral Problems, Mystery/Suspense/Thriller, Outsiders, Physical Mental and Emotional Concerns, Rape, Sexual Abuse, Suspense, Underage Drinking Leave a comment
Bibliographic Information: Anderson, L.H. (1999). Speak. New York, NY: Farrar, Straus and Giroux. ISBN: 0374371520. 208 pages.
Plot Summary: At the end of the summer before her freshman year in high school, Melinda Sordino and her friend Rachel attended a party. At that party, Melinda called 911. This resulted in the party breaking up, some students being arrested and Melinda's social status going to zero. Her friends abandoned her. People she did not even know hated her. It was pretty much the worst way to start high school. And then something strange started to happen. Melinda's throat seems to always be sore, her lips are badly chapped and she is often unable to speak, "It's like I have some kind of spastic laryngitis," (Anderson, 1999, p. 51). Something is wrong, but when her parents try to ask her about it, Melinda cannot seem to get the words out. Soon she is almost completely alone, preferring to spend time in an abandoned janitor's closet than her classes at school. Can she ever get out of her isolation and depression? What happened, and will she ever SPEAK?
Critical Evaluation: Moving and intense, Speak has a lot packed into its 208 pages. Part mystery, part issue novel, Speak tells Melinda's story with attention to detail, reminding us that the little things are often very important. Melinda's voice is clear and authentic, and resonates with honesty. Melinda's dry commentary on the superficiality and ironies of high school will ring true for many a teen. Anderson delivers a novel that brings its readers in and does not let them go even after the last page have been read. Readers will root for Melinda, as she tries to find her way out of her quiet isolation. Speak, Anderson's first young adult novel, was highly praised by critics and won numerous honors.Ffor example, it was a National Book Award Finalist, a Printz Honor book, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, and an Edgar Allan Poe Award finalist.
Reader's Annotation: The events at an end-of-summer party create havoc for Melinda's freshman year in high school.
Information about the Author: Laurie Halse, rhymes with waltz, Anderson is a highly acclaimed young adult and children's book author. She is a two-time National Book Award Nominee, won an ALAN award in 2008, and won the 2009 Margaret A. Edwards Award, among many other honors and achievements.
Anderson "has loved writing since second grade" (Anderson, n.d.). She has taken Virginia Woolf's quote "A woman must have…a room of her own to write fiction" (as quoted by Anderson, n.d.) to heart and has a lovely eco-friendly, off-the-grid writing cabin in the woods behind her house. Click here to watch a video of the cabin design and building process and, in the process, get to know a little more about Laurie Halse Anderson.
Genre: Issues, Realistic Fiction, Suspense
Category: Issues: Physical, Mental, and Emotional Concerns: Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Problems; Issues: Life Is Hard: Sexual Abuse, Outsiders
Curriculum Ties: Sexual Assault, Underage Drinking
Booktalking Ideas:
- What might happen to you, that would leave you unable or unwilling to speak?
Reading Level/Interest Age: Ages 13 – 18
Challenge Issues: Underage drinking, sexual assault, rape. Anderson has a piece on her website with specific information to respond to challenges to Speak. (Anderson, 2009).

American elections are, personally and politically, often unpleasant. They can feel like trench warfare as earlier and earlier every cycle, both sides gear up for a battle of attrition. But, I think – hope – there is another way for us to think about our politics, and elections provide the opportunity for reflection. They're like a political New Year's Eve;

Where has the first half of the year gone?! I honestly feel like 2016 has been playing in fast forward - the days, weekends and months are all a blur. I also feel like I have been having less and less time to dedicate to this little space that I love so much. And that makes me sad... and nostalgic. Here is a quick recap of where I have been and what I have been doing in the past few weeks.

Read my testimony!!! Getting ex back after a breakup. Am Cora L. Sanchez 30 from UK, my boyfriend of a 2year just broke up with me and am 28 weeks pregnant. I have cried my self to sleep most of the nights and don't seem to concentrate during lectures sometimes I stay awake almost all night thinking about him and start to cry all over again. Because of this I end up not having energy for my next day's classes, my attendance has dropped and am always in uni and on time. Generally he is a very nice guy, he ended it because he said we were arguing a lot and not getting along. He is right we've been arguing during the pregnancy a lot. After the break up I kept ringing him and telling him I will change. I am in love with this guy and he is the best guy I have ever been with. I'm still hurt and in disbelief when he said he didn't have any romantic feelings towards me anymore that hurt me faster than a lethal syringe. He texts me now and then mainly to check up on how am doing with the pregnancy, he is supportive with it but it's not fair on me, him texting me as I just want to grieve the pain and not have any stress due to the pregnancy. i was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Ahmed can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a spell for me. 22 hours later, my boyfriend came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my boyfriend are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Ahmed. as it is a place to resolve marriage/relationship issues, do you want to be sure if your spouse is being faithful to you or Do you want your Ex to come back to you Contact.: E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com or call/Whats-app: +2348160153829 save your crumbling home and change of grades its 100% safe.

Online PR News – 28-May-2012 – Mumbai Maharashtra – Mumbai. MEP Expo 2013 is scheduled to be held from 23rd to 25th May, 2013 at Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai, India.
MEP provides one-stop solutions for manufacturing, contracting, commissioning and after-sales service which includes HVAC (Heating, ventilation & air conditioning), electrical contracting, plumbing and water management. It forms the second most important component of construction after civil works.
The construction industry in India has seen a major change in the recent years with players adapting to modern methods and fast track construction techniques to cope up with the huge demand that the real estate and infrastructure sector has created. The building services industry too is looking to catch up with the ongoing trend and bringing in the technological advancements in their production & services processes. However, the MEP Industry has still a long way to go as the sector is quite inexperience especially in the integrated domain.
Nonetheless, due to its prerequisites, the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing is the most in-demand services within the construction sector. The growth of the MEP services market can be directly attributed to the growing demand in the construction sector. This impressive growth of the construction industry bodes well for the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) services market, since it is considered an integral service within the construction industry.

The expo provides opportunities for displaying products & services, positioning & repositioning, Project collaborations, investments, joint venture possibilities, strengthening clientele relations, Showcasing latest technology, brand enhancement, researching & analyzing market trends, promoting projects undertaken and facilitating business.

Effective Time Management to Reduce Stress and Increase Productivity
Effective time management can reduce your stress and increase your productivity.
Do you often find that you are overwhelmed with too much to do and not enough time? Or perhaps you feel like you are simply jumping from one crisis to the next.
If so, you are not alone. Feeling pressured by a lack of time is one of the greatest causes of stress.
Effective time management can help you to beat stress and work smarter, not harder. Why not enroll in our free time management course. This is a similar course that I give to elite athletes, business professionals and students who are stressed out by a lack of time.
Alternatively, if you find that you get to the end of the day and you haven't got through half of what you wanted to get through, this time management activity will show you where you can eliminate some timewasters in your day.
One of the first steps in effective time management is to understand how you are spending your time. If you think about your household budget, by writing down how you spend your money you can then determine how you can save money or use your money more effectively.
Well the same goes with time management! By keeping an inventory of your time you can identify your current time wasters and put into place effective time management skills to be more productive.
Are you spending time doing the things that are most important to you? One of my clients had reached the top of their career, working for a big company and earning fantastic money. However he wasn't happy.
He had missed his children growing up and had a poor relationship with his wife and friends. In effect, he had climbed the ladder of success, but once getting to the top, realized that the ladder was leaning up against the wrong building.
Goal setting can ensure that you are spending your time on the priorities that matter most to you. Goal setting goes with time management like a hand to glove.
Sometimes, goal setting just isn't enough. You know your goals, but you are battling to keep your head above water, jumping from one crisis to another. See this practical guide to ensuring that you work your priorities and ways to eliminate the tyranny of the urgent and reduce your stress.
Reducing your stress by controlling the tyranny of the urgent and goal setting sets the platform for better time management. This involves planning your time and then working your plan.
I personally prefer to set a weekly time management plan. In this weekly plan I ensure that I give myself time for the most important tasks. Now many people say that setting a weekly plan is not for them – their lives are fluid and change a lot.
While that may be true, having a weekly plan does not mean that you can't change it. However, it is generally better to schedule how you will spend your time than not to.
Once you have a weekly plan, I then funnel this down into a prioritized to-do list. I live and breathe my to-do list.
My to-do list allows me to focus on the highest priority tasks and the feeling I get from ticking them off is great. Sure, I may never finish the to-do list, but at least I manage to get the most important things in my day done.
Keeping focused and motivated can be tough. These motivation resources can help you excel and achieve your dreams.
Procrastination is one reason for not focusing on high priority tasks. Procrastination can result in stress and poorer health, and this it is important to beat procrastination.
These time management tips can save you an hour a day. They are simple to implement and highly effective.

Mother's House Cleaning Service will be courting the high income families in Cleanly, WA. We will be attractive to these customers because of our commitment to professional, trustworthy service. We will achieve this high level of service through extensive training and a continuous learning process. MHCS will be qualifying leads over the phone with estimates and more importantly, with in-house meetings. This sales strategy should yield a steady increase in jobs starting from month two.
Our competitive advantage will be based on our large investment in human capital. MHCS begins with a rigorous training program for new employees. At the outset, employees with be trained on how to clean. Granted everyone has some idea on how to clean, but we will show them a methodical way producing a far cleaner home more efficiently. We will then be training employees to work effectively on teams. While there are some households that prefer individual cleaners instead of a team, a request that we are more then happy to oblige, we generally work in teams as they are more efficient. Working efficiently on a team takes training, and through this team training, we are able to make significant gains in efficiency.
The next topic of training involves professionalism. We provide our employees the tools necessary to impress our most affluent clients. Professionalism is a skill that is used throughout the service call, from the way the employee greets and interacts with the client, to the way they clean, to the way they act when they break that priceless vase (which in the inevitable case that we do break something, we have specific guidelines for the employee to follow to resolve the conflict).
We finally train our employees to know what the expectations of our clients are. We will provide them the tools needed to exceed these expectations.
This extensive training, both up front, as well as continuously (called our continuous learning system) builds a trust relationship between our company and the client. It is the bond of trust that will not only earn MHCS the loyalty of that customer but also the referral of several more of their friends. Satisfied customers like to tell their friends about service providers that they are happy with, people like to "spread the wealth" with their friends.
Lastly we will emphasize our use of environmentally sound chemicals. Other companies also use environmentally sound chemicals so this is not a huge differentiation, but it is something that we are proud of, and will be mentioned.
We will also be creating the appearance of professionalism through the use of uniforms and large magnetic sign affixed to the side of the vehicles we use.
The sales process will begin through the qualification of leads generated from our marketing campaign. The marketing campaign will primarily generate leads through interest sparked from our brochures. Someone will call to receive more information about our service, while we will be able to give them an estimate over the phone, we would prefer to be able to get into their home and speak with them. On one hand we would be able to offer them a more accurate estimate. More importantly however, it provides us an opportunity to impress them with our company. We feel confident that since we are dealing with the affluent, who for many services are less price sensitive, are more likely to be impressed with our professionalism, "feel" an immediate trust bond forming, and sign up for the service.
For those clients whom we are only able to speak with over the phone, we will initially quote them a price. Because they are less price sensitive then the general population, we will then detail why our service is priced a bit higher than most. Mother's House Cleaning Service will explain all of the different training systems and methodologies that each employee goes through, and what expectations are reasonable for the customer to form about our superior service. This conversation will leave the prospective customer the impression that MHCS is indeed different from the run of the mill residential cleaning services and that the price differential is justified.
Lastly, we will be qualifying the leads by explaining up front that our service is more expensive. This is not a fact that we are trying to hide. We are setting up an expectation for the customer that they can indeed expect more with our service. This "angle" is based on the assumption that many people are not thrilled with their current cleaning service. Sure they clean adequately, but there is not a trust bond formed as if you had the same house cleaner for 20 years who helped raise your children. This is how we will differentiate ourselves and ultimately win over new customers.
The first month will be used to set up the business. It is unlikely much/any business will be officially transacted. In addition to dealing with legal and accounting issues for the business, office equipment will be purchased and set up. Once the physical office is ready we will then develop the employee policy and procedure manual. Then we will develop our training program. This will take a bit of time therefore it is very important it is set up at the outset, ensuring that it is completed and done properly when there are far less time constraints.
The second month will begin to see some activity. We will begin to field inquiries over the phone and expect to turn some of those into contracts. The first week of jobs will be done as a team, with Sarah and one employee. As the number of contracts begin to pick up at the end of the second month an additional person will be hired to form the first employee team. By the end of month four we will have built up enough demand that a new team of two will be trained and begin working. Having two teams of two will be sufficient until month seven when two more people will be brought on. We expect to remain with a six person head count into mid-year two when we expect to bring on one more team.
The sales forecast is based on the assumption that increased demand will occur at a steady pace. This is based on the assumption that a large part for our new clients after month two will be from word of mouth referrals. The logic is that we will incrementally gain customers as we continue to serve current customers. We will need a couple of visits before we can turn a new client into a referral service. All this will happen steadily and incrementally. This forecast is on the conservative side, it is possible that because we are superior to competing services that things really take off, however, it would not be prudent to take that aggressive of a forecast. It is always better to err on the side of caution.
Mother's House Cleaning Service will have several milestones early on:

How good is your heart health?
Just this week, a study found that fewer of us are maintaining a heart-healthy lifestyle. Participants in the study failed to keep their blood pressure and cholesterol to in check and maintain a healthy weight. These factors increase the risk for heart disease, underscoring the importance of what the American Heart Association identifies as life's simple 7.

Grilled Veggies
Is it bad that every night after dinner I want to go to Yogurtland? There's one way too close to our house that is continually calling my name. Bad Yogurtland. Do you all have these serve yourself yogurt shops in your area? With 10+ frozen yogurt flavors to choose from and a bounty of toppings (from nuts, to crushed candy bars, to mochi, to captain crunch and fresh fruit)? The possibilities are endless!
One of my favorites is devils food cake batter frozen yogurt topped with toffee bits, reeses's peanut butter cup chunks and why not throw in some juicy strawberry slices? Also loving strawberry cheesecake and cinnamon graham cracker yogurts topped with graham cracker crumbs, crushed oreos, a little dragon fruit and more fresh strawberries. So good. Especially on a hot summer night.
What does delicious frozen yogurt have to do with grilled vegetables? Nothing, really. Except that I wanted to venture out for a yogurt after our grilled steak and veggie dinner last night. But that happens a lot of nights. Instead of succumbing to frozen yogurt and topping temptations, I ate a handful of chocolate chips to get my sweet on (yeah, I did....and no it wasn't the first time).
I don't feel too bad eating something sweet after a meal consisting mostly of vegetables. Grilled veggies are another favorite summer food (after frozen yogurt of course). They are easy to prepare and have that tasty browned grilled goodness that only a barbecue can produce.
For last night's dinner we had asparagus, zucchini and onion that needed be used up and the grill was the perfect cooking vehicle. A little olive oil, sea salt and pepper and your veggies are ready to go. For a special twist, use a flavored olive oil. I used regular extra virgin olive oil on the onion and asparagus and basil olive oil on the zucchini. The mild flavor of the squash really allows the basil to come through. Delicious!
Don't limit yourself to just these veggies. Most anything is fair game...including corn on the cob, bell peppers, yellow squash, whole tomatoes, chiles, portobello mushrooms, green onions and cabbage (this one requires a foil pouch and butter instead of olive oil).
Grilled Vegetables
1 large bunch of asparagus, washed and woody ends trimmed off
3-4 small zucchini, sliced length wise in 1/4 thick slices
1 large sweet onion (or red or white), sliced across the onion in 1/2 inch slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh group pepper
Working by veggie type, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until glistening and lightly coated. Sprinkle generously with and salt and pepper. I like to use my hands to toss the veggies in the oil salt and pepper to ensure and even distribution of ingredients.
Fire up your grill on medium high heat. Different veggies have different cooking times. Start with the thickest veggies first (that will require most cooking time), in this case put the onion on first and cook for 5-7 minutes. Flip the onion using a grill safe (metal) spatula. Then add the zucchini and cook for about 3 minutes and flip and cook for 3 more minutes. Lastly, lay asparagus on the grill perpendicular to the grates when you have 3 minutes left to cook your veggies. After a minute, begin to roll the asparagus so that it gets evenly cooked on all sides.
Serve alongside your favorite grilled chicken, fish or steak.

That looks like an excellent summer dinner! I threw some zucchini on the grill for the first time a few nights ago and loved it; I can't wait to try more veggies.ReplyDelete
OMG, I am so happy the nearest self-serve frozen yogurt shop is prohibitively far enough to not want to go every night. We have been going on weekends and it's so easy to get carried away. So good, though.

Monday 21/9 we attended the kick-off of 'Project Creative Xcellerator' organised by HU and HKU, two Utrecht universities of applied science, and Task Force Innovatie Utrecht.
The program in Seats2Meet started with some introductions and lectures. After the lectures the people in the audience could choose one out of 3 parallel sessions. 31Volts helped out our friend Remko van der Lugt, Lector at HU, to organise his creative pressure cooker.
Goal of our 1.5 hour session was to introduce the HU's 3 focus areas and come up with ideas to accelerate Creative City Utrecht (by means of these 3 areas). Service Design is one of the 3 focus areas at this school, next to Cross-media and E-business.
About 40 people attended the session and took in the 5 minutes introduction on each subject. After each subject's introduction, students, profs, business and municipality people were matched in duos to start another round of speedstorming on ideas for Creative Utrecht.
For 'random' matching we were inspired by a Kaospilots method; "Go find somebody with the same colour of…." (shirt, hair, eyes, …) which worked surprisingly well in combination with the speedstorming.
To bring the ideas a step further we introduced our 8 personas representing creative industry Utrecht, designed in an earlier 31V research project. Within the 1.5 hour and to great surprise of all the participants, we closed the session with their own 9 convincing elevator pitches (from persona's perspective) on Creative Utrecht.
In the end 5 minutes presentation in a tight schedule and overloaded, interactive program is not much to fully communicate service design and 8 personas, however, just enough to attract people's attention… So the drinks afterward were a good opportunity to get involved with people from our session and talk some more about service design and our projects. Not much more of our colleagues or other already successful creatives were present; work has to be done in stead of talking about it.
For 31V the goal of the afternoon was not exactly clear, but it's a good thing helping out a friend, city Utrecht taking creative industries seriously and Service Design being communicated as one of the 3 focus areas in education!

.....to read more buy your personal copy at
The secrets of combatting noncommunicable diseases in our countries can be found in our Pacific Islands food cultures says Kiwi chef Robert Oliver on the eve of his new show, the Pacific Island Food Revolution.
Oliver has long been an advocate for traditional Pacific foods. His earlier tv series and cookbook explored how tourism and hotel menus could become "the business plan of a nation", more truly reflecting Pacific diversity and values.
Now Oliver and his fellow Pacific Food Warriors have health in their sights through the new reality television series.
"We have four countries, Fiji, Tonga, Vanuatu and Samoa, and in each country we do two episodes. We begin with three teams in each country and throughout the episodes there is one team left…We've made our challenges address particular issues. So there is one in Fiji called greens because Fiji has these insanely high rates of anaemia, but you walk into Suva market and there are greens everywhere. In Samoa there is one called 'colour of the rainbow' which is around putting many colours on your plate, because colours indicate nutrients and we had the Fa'afafine community, because they've done work with the Ministry of Health in Samoa, to help socialise that awareness. And in Tonga there was one around Royal food, because there was a tradition of Royal food that was high status, so we created that to give Tongan food the same status that Royal food implies. My co-host in Tonga was her Royal Highness [Princess Royal Salote Mafile'o Pilolevu Tuita] so she really helped with that."
Oliver says in the modern Pacific, many people opt to farm and fish, and then sell their expensive crabs, healthy fresh fish and farm produce in order to buy cheap tinned-fish and other processed food in the supermarket.
"We live in paradise and do not need foreign intervention to help us change, but rather can adopt the Pacific food culture to fight NCDs," he says.
He says people eat junk food because it is convenient and cheap. "The cup of soup noodles is almost a benchmark for convenience and cost. They're super cheap, they're super easy but fundamentally, if you live on them you die. It just comes down to that…but you have to understand the real cost and one of the challenges of what we do is how do you say that without scaring people and putting people off."
UNICEF Representative for Pacific Island Countries, Sheldon Yett, agrees. "People go to the lowest common denominator, salty noodles are cheap, they are available, they are heavily marketed, and people get addicted. Salt and sugar are addictive, that's a tremendous challenge we have. We have to change habits, we have to change behaviour, that is not something that is done overnight. It's done with constant reassessment and reinforcement and by those who influence people's lives every day and that's something we're trying to do here."
UNICEF is involved in the Pacific Island Food Revolution program through the "First 1000 days" challenge, and UNICEF Ambassador and Tongan Olympian, Pita Taufatofua co-hosts that episode. Yett says while NCDs are a huge and growing problem in the Pacific, so is stunting.
"A third of the population in the Pacific has a problem with stunting, that's huge. That means that they are too short for their height. That's because of nutrition and the interplay with their environment, it's not because of their genes. So we are working to ensure that first of all, governments understand this, and that polices are in place. It's really the first thousand days of a child's life that are so important and that interventions have to be made, because after that, it's irreversible. We are working to ensure that exclusive breast feeding is in place for the first six months, that pregnant mothers get access to good nutrition, [and] that babies have access to good nutrition and that does not include Coca Cola or juice."
"We really need to engage people, we need to find a way to get some basic information to the communities, to individuals, to mothers to fathers, people in kitchens and we thought this avenue [the Pacific Island Food Revolution] is the perfect way of doing it," Yett says. "Unlike other areas where stunting and malnutrition is a problem, there is no shortage of protein here, you are surrounded by it, and we want to make sure that peoplego back to their roots and harness the proteins, the vitamins and the nutrients that are surrounding them and we want to do it in a way that cuts through, an entertaining way and also an informative and scientifically correct way, and we thought this is the perfect linkage."
Apart from the reality television series (which Oliver describes as "like My Kitchen Rules but more warm-heated and filled with Pacific heritage and humour), the Pacific Island Food Revolution will also use the power of radio and social media to turn a mirror on the Pacific and show that eating fresh, local indigenous foods is the answer to good health.
"We do not want the show to be end of the story, it is the just the beginning," Oliver says. "Behavioural change takes around eight years…We've been quite realistic, we're not looking to have a dent in the health numbers for the first couple of years, it's just 'have we got people engaged and have we developed something that people want to be a part of?' "
LATE detection and late presentation contribute to the high number of women who die from cervical cancer in the Pacific each year.
The HPV Information Centre reports that an estimated 1,268 Pacific Island women died from cervical cancer last year. The rate of diagnosis and death is highest in Melanesia, followed by Polynesia and Micronesia.
"The fact that it is curable and yet still able to claim a lot of lives in Fiji, across the region and all around the world is really saddening," said Pacific Society of Reproductive Health President, Dr Pushpa Nusair.
In Fiji, cervical cancer is the third main cause of mortality in women; the leading cause of cancer death among reproductive women; and the leading cause of mortality in all cancer types.
"The biggest problem that we have in Fiji and in all the Pacific is that women tend to present us in the very latest stages where we cannot do very much for them," said Dr Nusair.
She said by that time, medical officers can only offer patients palliative care.
Prevention and treatment of cervical cancer has been a stated priority of the Pacific Islands Forum for several years. Forum Secretary-General Dame Meg Taylor has called it development issue, "albeit largely perceived as a women's reproductive health issue."
The World Health Organisation recommends vaccination against the cervical-cancer causing human papillomavirus (HPV) should be included in national immunisation programs, initially targeting girls 9-14 years of age, before extending to 9-18 years.
AT least 747 new cases of people living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) have been diagnosed in Fiji since February last year. Jokapeci Tuberi, Regional Coordinator for HIV Stigma Index of the Fiji Network of People Living with HIV (FJN+1) says the number is expected to increase once the updated record is release from the Fiji Ministry of Health.
"With more aggressive public awareness and prevention campaigns, more people are coming out to have their status known to the public," Tuberi said. From the month of January to October 2016, Fiji has a total of 43 newly-diagnosed HIV positive cases.
That is an average of more than four cases per month. There was also an increase in the number of new HIV infections, particularly among those between the ages of 19 and 29.
An overview report of People Living with HIV Stigma Index Study in seven countries in the Pacific indicated that Kiribati has 28 cases of people living with HIV, Samoa has 11, Federated States of Micronesia 9, Marshall Islands 8, Vanuatu 6, Palau 5 and Tonga 2. Tuberi said HIV cases in Kiribati was high because of the number of foreign fishing vessels that call on the island.
The report also found that people living with HIV in the Pacific Islands are experiencing high levels of stigma and discrimination, resulting in social exclusion and hindering access to basic social services including health care.
Non communicable diseases is prevalent in the Pacific that it has become a crisis- a matter which authorities need to address urgently. However talking about it to an audience doesn't necessarily make one 'all ears' about it. In fact, the Pacific tops the ten countries in the world for overweight and obesity.
Pacific Island Forum leaders acknowledge that 'NCDs already undermine social and economic development in the Pacific, and are financially unsustainable. NCDs impose increasingly large, yet often preventable financial costs on national budgets and the economy more broadly.
While "lifestyle choices" have often been regarded as the leading cause, Pacific Community Director General Colin Tukuitonga said calling them lifestyle diseases was wrong. He said it implied that people had a choice when, in fact, many Pacific people and especially children were "victims of their circumstances."

A couple of days ago a friend (Hi, Kenny!) suggested I listen to a US power pop band called Gladhands. They were active in the 90's, and released two albums before, er, not releasing any more.
I got a hold of their debut album, La Di Da (1997), listened to it, and enjoyed it. It's power pop alright – lots of tunes, lots of guitars – and pleasantly varied (i.e., the songs don't all sound the same).
Here's the opening track:
Gladhands – "Kill'em With Kindness" (1997)
And here's another one:
Gladhands – "Dissatisfaction" (1997)
Not bad at all.
I've been listening to Gladhands' 1997 album La Di Da (see above), and I noticed a familiar melody in the title track. "La Di Da" starts like this:
Gladhands – "La Di Da" (1997) (excerpt)
To me, that sounded enough like this…
Little Anthony & the Imperials – "Goin' Out Of My Head" (1964) (excerpt)
…for me to shout "Hey, that's a musical coincidence!"
Here are the full versions:
Gladhands – "La Di Da" (1997)
Little Anthony & the Imperials – "Goin' Out Of My Head" (1964)
Today's song is by a band I'd never heard of before until I received some information about them by the splendidly magnificent (and magnificently splendid, I might add) Will from the PR company Heapsaflash. (Hi, Will!)
Before I get on with my pointless prattling, I want to express my concern about something in particular…
When Will sent me biographical information about Timothy Nelson & The Infidels, it came in the form of an A4 sheet of paper with a whole heap o' information about the band and the music (on both sides of the paper). One side of the page has a completely black background, like so:
As far as I'm concerned, that page uses way too much ink. Now, I don't know if the PR company has unlimited resources but why use so much ink? (I suppose if the company used a laser printer, then the question would be: Why use so much toner?)
The PR company is called Heapsaflash. I want to call it Heapsaink.
OK. Rant over.
Now to the music…
The helpful Will (I was about to call him Mr. Chappy Man, but then I thought he might not enjoy that very much) pointed me in the direction of I Know This Now, the debut album by the aforementioned Timothy and co.
I've now listened to the album five times, and must say that I found it a much more enjoyable experience than I thought it was going to be. Unfortunately, it was the black-ink-saturated blurb that produced a bit of hesitation and dubiousness in me. A part of the blurb claimed that the music was a sort of Big Star–Wilco hybrid, and "jangly, guitar-heavy folk". From what I heard, it wasn't that at all. For me, the music is more pop with tinges of country. I was going to use the phrase "slightly rootsy", but it's not really. (Well, not as much as Wilco.) There's a fair bit of guitar in it, but it's not what I'd call 'guitar-heavy'. And it's not particularly jangly, either. (It's more 'strummy' than jangly.)
But whatever you want to call it, I think I Know This Now is a mighty decent album. Now, it's not a power pop album, so you may not like it all. (I guess it depends on how much power you like in your pop.) Or maybe you will.
Although I don't usually find myself attracted to albums full of pop with tinges of country (e.g., harmonica, lap-steel guitars, and all those things that get people thinking, "Hmm – that sounds a bit country-ish"), I found listening to this album a surprisingly pleasant and painless experience.
Being an album kind of guy (I've previously banged on about how I love listening to albums from start to finish, so I won't bang on about it here as well), one thing I was very impressed with is that I Know This Now is a proper album. It sounds like a collection of related songs, not just a couple of outstanding songs and the rest filler. It's also frighteningly consistent throughout in the quality of the songwriting, singing, playing, and production. This makes it an album with no dud tracks on it. It also makes it a complete non-chore to listen to.
For me, the advantage of listening to an album I enjoy from start to finish, with no individual songs significantly better (or worse) than any other songs, is that I can confidently tell you this: if you like one song, you're gonna like the album.
The disadvantage is that it's made it extremely difficult for me to choose a song to play you. I'm afraid that playing you only one of the album's songs does that song a disservice because it deserves to be heard in the context of the whole thing (i.e., with its musical siblings).
So, I'm going to choose four songs in the hope that you at least get an idea of the kind of music Mr. Nelson and his Infidels makes, even if you don't get to experience the album (which I think is still the best way to hear Timbo's batch of songs)…

By the way, if you managed to get this far in the post (I hope you packed your lunch for it) and you want to know more about the man, there's an interview with Timothy Nelson over at The Thousands.

I'm not keen on the sentiment (it is rather impolite), but I love that blues riff:
Town Criers – "Mama Keep Your Big Mouth Shut" (1965)
If you're familiar with the song, you may bemoan the version I chose (as in: "Oh, Peter, how could you? It's a great song! And that's such a wimpy version!"). That particular version is here because it's performed by an Australian band. (It's the only Australian one I could find. There may be more, but I ain't found 'em.)
Never fear, though. Here are some groovier versions:
The Pretty Things – "Mama Keep Your Big Mouth Shut" (1965)
[From a non-male perspective]
The Delmonas – "Keep Your Big Mouth Shut" (1986 – yes, 1986)
And here's quite possibly the grooviest version of all:
Bo Diddley – "Mama Keep Your Big Mouth Shut" (1964)
Today's song is the direct result of another blogger blogging a song on his blog.*
The indubitable Stonefish (Hi, Stoneyonio!) posted Mary Hopkin's "Goodbye" yesterday. I can't tell you just how much I adore "Goodbye" – or Mary Hopkin. The song is one of those magical tracks that, when I've finished playing it, I'll play it again. Repeatedly. And not get sick of it.
And Mary Hopkin…
I can state quite categorically that, courtesy of "Goodbye", the first musician I ever fell in love with was Mary Hopkin. I was only seven at the time, but it sure felt like love.
Mary Hopkin. Sigh.
Anyway, today's song is indeed "Goodbye", but it's performed not by Mary or the song's author, Macca Mc Fab Mac. It's a version I love just as much as Mary's or Paul's. And it's sung by, er, ah, um…
Here's where things get a little odd. I'm not entirely who gets the credit for this version of "Goodbye". The singer's name is Satoko Fujiwara, but the song is credited to A Harvest Garden, which may be the name of the group she sings in. But it may also be her stage name (like Australian musician Sally Seltmann giving herself a band name, "New Buffalo", or American musician Conor Oberst using the name "Bright Eyes", or American musician Chan Marshall calling herself "Cat Power" etc). I'm not sure if A Harvest Garden is a band or a person, because all the photos I've seen for "A Harvest Garden" are of Satoko only. So I don't know if Satoko is A Harvest Garden, or if A Harvest Garden is actually a band but the band decided to only show photos of her because she's the prettiest member. Who knows?
What I do know is that I'm enchanted by Satoko Fujiwara's voice:
And here she is again:
I honestly can't hear this song enough.
And thanks, Stonefrog, for giving me a reason to listen to "Goodbye" again.
(*In mentioning the word "blog" as many times as possible in one sentence, I thought I might as well "go the whole blog".)
Today we have what I'd call one-and-a-half coincidences. The first one is a definite "Yes!", but I'll admit the second one barely qualifies.
First of all, the proper coincidence…
The theme tune to the TV show The Colbert Report starts off with a brass fanfare and then proceeds with the band playing a propulsive riff. (Trivia time: it was written and performed by Cheap Trick.) This is the fanfare bit:
Cheap Trick – "The Colbert Report Theme Tune" (2005) (excerpt 1)
It took me a while to figure out what that tune reminded me of, but it finally dawned on me that it's the main tune of the Christmas carol "O Come All Ye Faithful".
It also took me a while to find a version of it sung in the same key to illustrate the similarity. When I did find a suitable version, I was mildly surprised. It's by Stryper, a hair metal band. A Christian hair metal band.
Here's how it starts:
Stryper – "O Come All Ye Faithful" (1991) (excerpt)
By the way, Stryper's version of "O Come All Ye Faithful" appears on a 1991 Christmas compilation album entitled The Christmas Album… A Gift Of Hope. With the band on that album are some very strange bedfellows. Just have a look at the album cover:
Now, the second coincidence…
When I heard the theme tune's main riff, with electric guitars blazing, it reminded me of the riff in the Violent Femmes' "Blister In The Sun". When I got around to actually hearing "Blister In The Sun" (as opposed to imaging what the riff was like), though, I realised that it's not that similar to The Colbert Report's riff. Well, maybe a little. I'll let you be the judge…
Cheap Trick – "The Colbert Report Theme Tune" (2005) (excerpt 2)
Violent Femmes – "Blister In The Sun" (1983) (excerpt)
Maybe not.
Anyway, here are the full versions:
Cheap Trick – "The Colbert Report Theme Tune" (2005)
Stryper – "O Come All Ye Faithful" (1991)
Violent Femmes – "Blister In The Sun" (1983)
Oh, I want to mention just one more thing before this post ends up longer than it needs to be. (Note to self: Too late!)
Considering the magnitude of the ego belonging to The Rev. Sir Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A., I wondered if the similarity between the brass fanfare at the start of his theme was actually deliberate, and "O Come All Ye Faithful" was a call to arms for all the true believers (i.e., Colbert's fans).
Just wondering.

The Cookie Jar DC makes eggless, edible dough in big or small jars, with flavors like classic chocolate chip, peanut butter, mint chocolate chip, sugar cookie with sprinkles and oatmeal raisin. Larner makes the dough locally at Union Kitchen and it's available for sale sale at some retailers, for delivery as well as pickup from a few locations around town, including one at 14th and W. She's also catered a few events, had pop-ups around town and had orders from around the country.
Here's more from Lindsay on how she came up with the idea:
I wanted to start my own business and do something creative. I love cookies, but I love cookie dough even more. Technically, eating raw cookie dough isn't good for you because you can get Salmonella. Most of us have our mom or dad's voice in our heads telling us "don't eat the raw cookie dough, you'll get sick!" But I couldn't find an option—at least not in DC—for edible cookie dough that was safe to eat. I started playing around in the kitchen, and I ended up with a delicious edible cookie dough product in several different flavors. Not only is it edible because it doesn't contain eggs, but it has all of the other traditional cookie dough ingredients. It's the real deal.Sounds awesome to me. I'm definitely going to try it.

Without Rhyme by Bles Chavez-Bernstein
A collection of approximately one hundred poems, Bles Chavez-Bernstein shares snapshot of her life from nearly every angle in Without Rhyme: A Poet's Story. The poems included in this book range throughout the entire spectrum of human emotions, covering those both triumphant and turbulent. The poet tells tales of her time as a young girl growing up in a small rural town, to moving and living in a foreign country quite unlike her own. The words on these pages reflect times of happiness and joy, but also at times cover moments of sadness and despair. Chavez-Bernstein writes in a passionate way, her words holding much weight. Whether it is pondering over the reunion with a potential lover in Where the Path Leads, allowing oneself to enjoy the goodness of nature in Somewhere Is Bliss, or remembering special times with family in the places where we grow in Oasis for a Child, the poet succeeds at creating atmospheric pieces that are sure to stick with the reader.
The addition of black-and-white line illustrations scattered throughout this book of poetry is a nice touch that further pulls the collection together. The poems here range in tone, but overall remain consistent in their voice and style, showcasing Chavez-Bernstein's poetic talent. Since the subject matter varies, there are poems for almost every type of reader. They are both romantic and melancholy, brooding and reflective. While the book will most likely appear to women who are interested in emotional poetry, this is the kind of collection that can easily be enjoyed by anyone who connects with personal poetic narratives.

The CBI has questioned Lt Gen (retd) Tejinder Singh, named by Army Chief Gen V K Singh as the person who had allegedly offered him a bribe of Rs 14 crore, in connection with the Adarsh Society scam here.
CBI sources said he was quizzed yesterday about how he got a flat in the controversial society, the source of his funds and to check the veracity of documents.
When contacted, Singh said over phone that he was not an accused in the scam and was called by CBI to verify some facts about his flat in the Adarsh Society.
"They had asked me how I had purchased the flat, what was the source of funding, my income and genuineness of my signatures on the documents... It's a normal process and all other members of the society have also been questioned by the CBI," Singh said.
Adarsh Housing society had come under CBI scanner after it was alleged that land which was allotted by the state for welfare of servicemen and their widows was in fact used for the benefit of relatives of politicians, public servants and senior service officers including former army chiefs.
The then Maj Gen Tejinder Singh was Commander of Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat region between 2005-07 and has a flat in the society.
The Comptroller and Auditor General in its report on the scam last year had pointed out that all service officers except one who were in-charge in Maharashtra between February 1998 and July 2010, became beneficiaries as per the list of the members of the society.
