Intro and Menu | June Articles
The annual meeting of the Kildare Co. Council was held at Naas, on Monday. Mr. J. Brown, J.P., outgoing Chairman, presided; the other members present were:- Messrs. John Healy, J. Shiel O'Grady, Laurence Malone, Owen Cogan, J.P., Charles Bergin, P. P. Timmons, James Coffey, R. J. McKenna, J.P., P. J. Doyle, John Field, Ambrose More O'Ferrall, John Quinn, M. J. Minch, M.P., Thomas Orford, J. Kelly J.P.; Thomas Keatley, Francis Colgan, J. O'Loughlin, Peter Crosbie, Chas. Bergin, James Sunderland, George Wolfe and Lord Frederick Fitzgerald.
Mr. J. T. Heffernan, Secretary, and Mr. E. Glover, County Surveyor, were also present.
The Council proceeded to deal with the following item on the agenda paper:- "To make an order under the provisions of sub-sections (1) (2) and (3) of the Light Locomotives (Ireland) Act, 1903, declaring that certain public roads may be used by the Automobile Club for races with light locomotives on the 2nd July, 1903, such order to be in the terms of the draft, here with sent to each member of the Council, and to take such other steps for the safety of the public as the Council may determine."
The Chairman said that having in view what occurred in the Paris-Madrid race, the duty that developed upon them was a serious one. Their duty in connection with the proposed regulations was to take every precaution that they could take for the safety of the public. The Local Government Board had sent them draft rules, which they could amend if they thought fit. There really was no amendment required, unless as regards the change of course proposed to be made near Kilcullen.
Mr. Minch asked did the order include roads within the Urban District.
The Chairman's opinion was that it did. Mr. J. S. O'Grady inquired whether it was not the police were to keep order. Mr. Glover: Yes sir. Mr. O'Grady: And I suppose we will have them from all Ireland. Mr. Glover: Yes.
The Chairman said that the Act provides that the Automobile Club should defray any expenses incurred; and that the Council might require them to make such deposit "as may be necessary for expenses". He did not know whether that applied to the police.
Mr. O'Grady: It is a serious matter. I think it would be very unfair to ask the ratepayers to pay for guarding this road.
Mr. Owen Cogan: How many men will be required?
Mr. Crane, County Inspector, who was in attendance, said he could not tell.
The Chairman said that the police were absolutely essential
to the race being held, and therefore any expenditure attached
to their service should be defrayed by the Automobile Club
Lord Frederick Fitzgerald (to Mr. Crane) – I think you should wire to the Inspector-General and ask upon whom the expense will fall.
The Chairman: I have no doubt the expenses will be borne by the Committee. At the same time, in order to make it perfectly clear, it would be no harm to send a wire.
Mr. O'Grady: I think it is only right that the Automobile Club should pay the expenses. We have gone to some expense in steam-rolling the roads.
The County Inspector despatched a wire to the Inspector-General
asking on whom the expense of the extra police would fall.
Up to the time of the adjournment of the meeting no reply
was received.
With reference to the change in the course, the County Surveyor explained that the Club thought it better to make the alteration, having in view the fact that there were two sharp angles at Knockaulin.
After further discussion it was decided to adopt the draft rules forwarded by the Local Government Board, with the changes suggested by the Automobile Club. It was also agreed that arrangements should be made as to the control of the car and other traffic on the day of the race, at an adjourned meeting on Saturday, at 11.30 or earlier if necessary.

HDR Amplification is a small yet Highly Dynamic boutique company established in the South of Czech Republic in 2013. Since then we have enjoyed continuous growth, offering a wide Range of products including custom tube amplifiers, cabinets, pedals and accessories.
We do our best to make boutique amplification what it is meant to be - high quality, handbuilt with great attention to detail, ready to cope with the most demanding challenges. And, last but not least, always truly respectful of customers and their particular needs.
These are things that could be taken for granted in a perfect world,
In fact, an approach like "copy this or that, put it together and hope it works" is not quite the same as a genuine audio device design based on in-depth electrical knowledge. Even the most simple audio circuit is not just a list of standalone components - there is always a certain level of comlexity that cannot be understood without sufficient proficiency. This is where the line is set between professionals and self-called gurus.
We believe that the only right way forward is to produce high quality amps and effects without the need to replace technical facts with pseudoscientific myths. Amp building is not black magic; it is just a little science. Since there is no audible phenomenon that cannot be explained in terms of physics, there is no problem that cannot be solved or a sound that cannot be achived. We are here to make your wishes come true.

Fenerbahce Dogus Istanbul star Luigi Datome may be in the middle of helping his team defend the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague title, but he still finds time to support his club's efforts with One Team, the competition's social responsibility program. This season Fenerbahce joined forces with Special Olympics Turkey to run its One Team program, which aims to encourage the social inclusion of intellectually disabled people and to break stereotypes within the local community.
The eight-week program runs every 10 days and is tailor-made for a group of 12 participants with intellectual disabilities as well as 10 neurotypical participants. The program also incorporates the active involvement of 22 family members, 10 volunteers and 4 coaches.
Datome serves as his club's One Team Ambassador and earlier this month he welcomed the participants to a special practice session at Ulker Sports and Events Hall.
The Italian star believes it is important to make a positive impact in the local community. "I know that every club throughout Europe is working hard with the One Team program to support people who have difficulties in life, and it really is a pleasure for me to try to help," he said. "As professional basketball players, we are in a privileged position to make a real difference in people's lives. This is especially important for young people who are at risk of being marginalized by society and I hope the group from Special Olympics Turkey have been inspired by their visit to our arena."
Throughout the program, Fenerbahce's One Team coaches are using the power of basketball to focus on key life skills such as cooperation, self-confidence, motivation, communication and discipline. The club's program is highlighted by the inclusion of participants with and without intellectual disabilities and the role that families and volunteers can develop during the activities.
One Team, supported by Turkish Airlines as the One Team Founding Patron, and with the collaboration of Special Olympics as its Proud Partner, uses basketball to achieve meaningful social impact in communities across Europe and is supported by every club in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and 7DAYS EuroCup. Since its founding in 2012, the One Team program has already helped more than 14,000 participants through its various team-focused projects.

A Brief History of Shalom Wildlife Zoo
Beginning in 1979, thirty acres of land was purchased with the intent to preserve it from development. Over the years additional adjacent parcels were acquired. Today the Zoo encompasses 100 acres. Shalom's wildlife began as a deer farm with native whitetail deer that were purchased from the State of Wisconsin. People would come to see those "Big Bucks" on guided wagon ride tours through the property. The tours provided a great opportunity to educate visitors on animals, plants, habitat and Native American culture. In 1990 Bison and Elk were added for additional wildlife viewing enjoyment. Soon red fox, raccoon, skunk and mink were purchased and put on exhibit. Every year more species are added. In 2002 self guided tours were made available for those that wanted to walk, and in 2006 golf carts were added for those who were unable to walk.
Although still a working farm, in 2010 Shalom was licensed as a Zoo and is home to over four-hundred animals that are cared for daily. Some of the animals are here for permanent placement, some have been donated and some have been purchased.
Our Mission Statement: To preserve the wilderness, while providing education, enjoyment and wildlife encounters in a natural ecosystem.
Shalom is a privately owned federally licensed zoo and receives no government assistance. We are solely funded by the admission fee to the zoo. Your visits are important to the the future of Shalom. With your support we strive to improve Shalom Wildlife Zoo.
Shalom is a Hebrew word that means Peace.

Cowboys linebacker Bruce Carter could end up losing the starting job as the team's weakside linebacker. If he does, owner/G.M. Jerry Jones has an explanation for it.
"He will never play at the level of his expectation or the fans' expectation or the coaches expectations because he's absolutely one of the best athletes in the NFL," Jones told 105.3 The Fan Dallas/Ft. Worth, via the Dallas Morning News. "He's fast and he's got the size, so all of that ought to make him ideally suited for certainly our weakside linebacker position."
Carter's status could hinge on Rolando McClain. If the twice-unretired McClain wins the starting job as the team's middle linebacker, Justin Durant could move outside to Carter's spot.
"I think you'll see a lot of him," Jones said of Carter. "Whether or not it's as a 'starter' or not, I couldn't tell you at this time, but I'm glad we got him."
The bigger problem for the Cowboys is that they don't have enough highly-talented players on defense. On paper, the unit looks even worse than last year's bunch, which performed at historically bad levels.

Sorry, Chief; We're Hanging with Link Now
Here's something I never thought I'd write: Vickie wants a game console.
Yes, folks, read it again: My wife, Vickie, has actually expressed interest in owning a video game console: specifically, the Nintendo Wii. She mentioned it today, after stumbling across a video on NineMSN showing people playing various games using the Wii Remote. Vickie reckoned it looked like heaps of fun, and frankly, I can't really disagree with her. Much as I'd like to play Halo 3, it's the only reason I'm interested in an Xbox 360 (except, maybe, Halo Wars and Gears of War).
Plus, I really like the idea of playing something with Vickie; the only co-op gaming we've ever done has been Neverwinter Nights, which I've not bothered re-installing since the rebuild, and although she has on the rare occasion asked why I don't involve her with playing the Xbox, suggestions of co-op Halo have rarely been met with enthusiasm from Vickie - due in equal parts to the complexity of a first-person shooter and her fully-paid membership in the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Grunts.
The only problem is that we really can't afford one. We have some serious credit card debt to pay off over the coming year and rising costs across the board has seen our personal weekly allowances drop from $40 each to $20 each. So if we each socked $5 away a week, we'd still be looking at forty weeks before we could buy a Wii (and then there's the need for an extra controller). Our savings are already depleted and haven't been replenished for a month now (especially with Christmas fast approaching) and we've got plenty of other hefty things - electricity, rates, new tires for the car - we have to save for.
Before you ask, no, I don't want to trade the Xbox in unless it's for an Xbox 360 - I'm playing through Halo again (on Heroic, warming up to Legendary) and loving it (die, you rotten, little, genocidal, squeaky-voiced bastards)!
I suddenly find myself wondering how much my Heavy Gear RPG collection will fetch on eBay...

Demonstrating for over a month, teachers and employees of non-MPO educational institutions called off their hunger strike today upon request of Professor Anisuzzaman.
A group of prominent persons, including Prof Anisuzzaman, went in front of the Jatiya Press Club around 3:00pm and requested them to withdraw, reports Bangla daily Prothom Alo.
Later, the agitating teachers broke their fast by taking water offered by Prof Anisuzzaman.
Rasheda Choudhury, Advisor to the Former Care Taker Government and Sarwar Ali, trustee of Liberation War Museum, among other prominent persons, were present at that time.
The teachers started their sit-in-programme on June 10, pressing home their demand as there is no specific budget allocation for the 2018-2019 fiscal year on MPO. They began their hunger strike on June 25.
The MPO is government's share in the payroll of private educational institutions. The government pays 100 percent basic salaries and small monthly allowances to the teachers under the scheme.
Over 5 lakh teachers and employees of around 27,000 secondary schools, colleges, madrasas and technical institutes are now receiving the MPO benefits.
According to leaders of the federation, there are 5,242 non-MPO educational institutions, where around 80,000 teachers work without any government pay.

If you know a woman who is going through IVF, you'll probably want to hear what Molly Sims has to say about making the day as easy as possible for her.
If you're a mom, chances are you're looking forward to the upcoming holiday that's all about you. But Mother's Day isn't such a happy occasion for everyone out there...and if you have a friend or family member who is going through IVF right now, you may want to tread carefully around her where the holiday is concerned.
Molly Sims understands this on a personal level. The model is a mother of three now, but her path to parenthood wasn't as easy as it may seem. Molly endured two rounds of IVF before she conceived her children, so she knows how painful the experience can be.
She also points out that when you're trying to conceive, it can feel like reminders of motherhood and pregnancy are everywhere you look on any given day—Mother's Day just intensifies this effect.
"It's tough because it's a really hard pill to swallow. You just have to be supportive of the mom, check in with her, and not be afraid to say anything or acknowledge it because it might hurt her feelings," Molly told PopSugar. "It's very difficult to want something, and with Facebook, it's like Big Brother, because once you start googling, all of a sudden your feed becomes baby and you're not even pregnant yet. It's weird how everything in your face is about baby, especially during a sensitive time like Mother's Day when everything else is about Mom, babies, kids, and family."
The former Fit Pregnancy and Baby cover girl also added that people in your life may be suffering through infertility in silence—so being as tactful as possible around friends who don't have children is always a good idea.
We couldn't agree more: Countless women around the world are dealing with the stress of trying to conceive, painful and pricey fertility treatments, miscarriage, loss and any other number of issues that make a holiday like Mother's Day incredibly tough to face. While motherhood is absolutely worth celebrating, it may be harder this year for the hopeful mothers among us, and that's something we should all keep in mind.

She may have recently revealed she wasn't interested in dating right now.
But Luann de Lesseps was certain to have plenty of heads turning her way as she attended the opening night of Children Of A Lesser God in New York City on Wednesday.
The reality star, 52, sizzled in a hot red dress that showed off her recent eight pound weight loss.
Dressed to impress, The Real Housewives Of New York looked the height of style as she rocked a long Chanel pearl necklace, bracelet, and pair of white ankle boots.
Luann's fiery red frock clung to her physique as she posed up a storm on the red carpet.
She wore her short brunette tresses down and amplified her natural beauty with a hint of pink blush and glossy lips.
Luann finished off her ensemble with a pair of white ankle boots.
It all comes as Luann revealed to Life & Style that she isn't looking to date right now.
The 52-year-old television personality opened up to the weekly magazine, saying that she's 'focusing on what's important.'
The interview comes seven months after her second marriage to Tom D'Agostino Jr. dramatically ended.
Now, the mother-of-two is putting her priorities first, saying that she's not even open to dating.
'I'm really focusing on my career and my cabaret show and family right now,' said Luann.
The brunette beauty has had some cringeworthy moments over the past year.
Luann was charged with a felony count of resisting an officer along with misdemeanor trespassing and disorderly intoxication charges in January after a drunken Christmas Eve incident in Palm Beach, Florida, where she is said to have attacked a cop.
She spent 21 days in rehab afterwards and is due to appear before a judge again on Friday.
Luann recently revealed to People she lost eight pounds after leaving rehab.
The star – who plead 'not guilty' – faces jail time if convicted of 'battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence, and two counts of corruption by threat.'

A Rosehearty club will celebrate its 50 year anniversary by inviting past members to come to their party next month.
Rosehearty Brownies will turn 50 and the club are holding an event to mark the occasion on Thursday October 6 at 6.30 pm at Lodge Forbes at The Square in the village.
Carol Short, who is helping to organise the event, said: "We're hoping to get as many people who were a brownie to come along.
"People in their 50s, 40s, 30s right up to members that have just left."
The day will have a mixture of balloons and cake to old uniforms and books so people can look back at the history of the club and how it has changed.
Ms Short said: "Come and reminisce and share stories."

Yoga as a New Year's Resolution - Let's Do This! Featured
After the festivities of Christmas and the New Year, it's time to work out and get in touch with where we want to be going and what we want to be doing for 2018. A plan of action or a set of intentions that will support and guide us, our family and our communities to a healthy and fulfilling New Year.
Here are a six reasons why a yoga practice is going to support you in making those changes possible - ensuring that 2018 is the holistic and fulfilling year that you desire. After all, yoga has been supporting New Year's resolutions for at least the last 5,000 years!
- A healthier body: 'Run more', ' go to that zumba class' or simply 'go to the gym' can be found on countless New Year's resolution lists. For thousands of years, Yoga has proven to be a highly effective method for getting your body in the shape that is perfect for you! The classic Sun Salutations as well as the various It's Yoga sequences work on the different core muscle groups of the body and are complete body workouts in themselves. These will leave you feeling lighter, slimmer and more toned - and smiling!
- Clear mind, clear decisions: When we have a clear mind, we make clear decisions - makes sense, right? Yoga not only gets you fitter, it also calms your mind and increases your ability to make the decision in a given situation that will bring you the desired outcome. A lot of the time we need to take a breath, calm our minds and take one step at a time. These qualities of calmness, wisdom and insight come flowing to you with a yoga practice, where yoga develops both the qualities of critical discernment and somatic intuition that will save you time in both short and long term decision making processes at home and at work.
- Improved flexibility: Need a massage after over-reaching for that book on the top shelf or the toy that's fallen behind the sofa? The pressures we put on our body just from day to day living get recorded and imprinted onto our fascia and muscles over time. This is why we are very flexible when young and become 'tighter' as we age. Despite living in a fast paced world, there really are no quick fixes for this one - flexibility takes time. A yoga practice will give you and your body the space to open up and get back that flexibility in your body and your life. Whether it's the deep stretching classes of Yin Yoga or the more dynamic sequences of Ashtanga Vinyasa and The Rocket®, your body will thank you every time for the energy levels and focus that come from your new found flexibility - bringing a smile to your face, your friends and family!
- Time with loved ones and community: Social media, video games and the whole array of 21st century life certainly keeps us occupied and busy, but how connected does it keep us to our loved ones? Coming together through yoga provides that opportunity to reconnect in a fun and meaningful way that will leave you all sleeping better and smiling more around the house and at work! Moreover, yoga with your kids encourages non-competitiveness and calmness as well as deepening creativity and social skills, and will provide your children with memories that will stick for a long time... Along the lines of "I remember when I was younger and my mum and dad became giraffes and I was a monkey hanging from them"! This kind of connection can provide them with a solid foundation for long lasting and healthy attitudes that will one day become the foundation for their own families, friendships and work places.
- Detoxification: The benefits of yoga come with consistency and persistency; that is over a period of time. This process of detoxification is one major benefit of practicing yoga at 'It's Yoga', where we will go deep into the tissues where those troublesome toxins are held. You will begin to significantly reduce the level of toxins in your body; including cortisol, which comes from stress, and increase the 'feel-good' chemicals such as oxytocin. You will then see a real increase in skin quality and so much more - maybe take pictures and record the effect! Ultimately you may drop a few or more years off your body, looking younger, feeling younger and of course part and parcel of that is a peaceful mind and being in touch with your full radiance of character.
- Overall Health: Yoga improves stress management, sleep patterns, self-acceptance and love, blood pressure, builds inner strength, social confidence and so much more, without being a substitute for medicine.

Astavakra at the Assembly of Scholars
Once upon a time, King Janaka called an assembly of great scholars. Noted academicians participated. Famous pundits and logicians came from all over the realm. Scholars of renown, who were extremely articulate in their arguments, streamed in. A number of highly gifted persons who were capable of impressing the whole world with their intellectual and verbal prowess came to the great hall of the palace where the assembly was being held. This assembly was composed of such giants that there was no room at all for ordinary people to enter.
The daily meetings were presided over by King Janaka himself. Of the highly select group in attendance, only the most outstanding and accomplished were given an opportunity to speak and present their views. Into this magnificent and august assembly, young Astavakra, a young boy with a hideously deformed body, sought to gain admission. But who would permit Astavakra to enter? He did not have any credentials or any recommendation whatsoever. He did not have the help of any great teacher or sponsor. The only help he had was his deep faith in God.
Whoever has an abiding faith in God will not be put to any insurmountable difficulties. Temporarily there may be some obstacles, but in the end he is sure to meet with success. For three days Astavakra waited at the gate of King Janaka's palace through which all the participants to the great assembly entered. There, while waiting, Astavakra observed all the world-famous scholars who were coming to attend the meeting. Although only recognized scholars were being allowed inside, Astavakra was not prepared to give up his resolution to join the assembly and participate in its deliberations. 'I, too, have a chance,' he said to himself and continued to wait patiently at the gate, day after day.
There was one observant and sympathetic old scholar who noticed Astavakra standing by that gate whenever he entered and exited through it, morning and evening. The kindly old scholar informed King Janaka of the boy's presence. He told King Janaka that there was someone standing outside waiting for days to enter the assembly, although he did not have any of the usual qualifications necessary for being permitted inside. He told the king that this was not an elderly scholar, nor even a middle-aged one, but a very young person who did not seem to have much experience and who did not wear any of the accepted marks of achievement in scholarship, nor was he personally recommended by any of the pundits present. In short, nothing was known of this person or his qualifications except that he had been continuously waiting to come inside.
King Janaka directed his attendants to find the boy who was waiting at the gate outside and to bring him into the assembly hall. Shortly after King Janaka had taken his seat and the meeting began in the solemn and sacred atmosphere befitting such an august assembly, Astavakra entered the hall. The moment they saw this young boy with such a crooked form come to take part in the assembly, most of the great scholars who had gathered there began to laugh. King Janaka, who was keenly observing Astavakra as he entered, did not laugh.
Astavakra carefully looked around the hall, and then quite inexplicably started laughing even louder than the scholars who were seated there. This loud burst of laughter from Astavakra was quite inadmissible and greatly surprised the scholars. It became a real problem for them. 'Why should this young scamp be laughing at us?' they thought. 'There certainly is reason enough for our laughter, considering how funny he looks, but there is nothing at all strange about us, so what conceivable reason does he have for all this laughter?' They were very disturbed and irritated by what they considered the boy's impertinence.
You find this to be a rather common experience in the world, that when ordinary people see someone who has a physical defect which gives him a crooked appearance or makes him appear strange or unusual, they are inclined to laugh. Such gross behavior can only be considered a sign of ignorance. It is totally different from the warm smile of an innocent child. A small child will smile at any person, regardless of their appearance. When the child smiles, every other person seeing this child will also smile along with it. Such a child's smile, which infects everyone who sees it, arises from the sacredness of innocence. But in that assembly hall, the laughter that Astavakra met with was very different from a child's innocent smile. That hall was packed full with very great and noted scholars, persons of exceptional accomplishments in learning; but there was no child-like innocence to be found there.
The assembled scholars were eagerly waiting to find out why this strange-looking young lad who had just come in was laughing so loudly. One of the scholars was bold enough to speak to Astavakra. He asked, "Young stranger, who are you? We do not know you. When we looked at you as you came in, your form made us laugh. In response to our laughter, you are laughing even more loudly. What is the reason for this? What is so ludicrous about all the renowned scholars seated here that you have not stopped laughing even for a moment?"

A respectful, unsentimental portrait of a village in Mali, and a moving story of a warm friendship between an American Peace Corps volunteer fresh out of college and a young Malian health worker.
Holloway spent two years, from 1989 to 1991, working alongside Monique Dembele in the tiny village of Nampossela, where Monique served as midwife. The author is immediately plunged into the birthing business by her capable new friend, whose medical resources are severely limited but whose personal assets are quite extraordinary. Trapped in an unhappy arranged marriage, Monique, who has her own household to run and has her own baby strapped to her back, works long, hard hours to bring other women's babies safely into the world, to teach mothers how to feed and care for their offspring, and at the same time to minister to the general health needs of the whole village. Holloway does all she can to help, working at Monique's side, weighing babies, teaching women how to make rehydration formula, striving to bring birth control to the village women and arranging for Monique, rather than her feckless husband, to collect her monthly paycheck. She seems to slip easily into village life, joining in their celebrations, sharing their food and drink, living in a tin-roofed hut without electricity or running water. At the end of the two years, she and her fiancé, another Peace Corps volunteer, return home, having arranged for Monique to visit them in the U.S. the following year. (In one of the funnier moments here, inexperienced traveler Monique agrees to fly only after learning that she will be able sit inside the plane and not cling to the outside.) Holloway does not disguise the realities of life in a poor rural African village, and yet she is never condescending. Her admiration, respect and love for Monique come across as genuine, as does her grief at Monique's death.
A poignant and powerful book. (16 b&w photos, not seen)

Love our Articles? Be the first one to read our newest Articles.
The following tips are given keeping in mind those who are working in a modern day setting. Stress affects all individuals but what differs is how we, (our bodies and minds) react to it, bear with it, cope, internalize or externalize it and more so, bounce back from it. This article tells you what you should do and what you can avoid in order to be a more effective at work while ensuring your mental & emotional well-being.
1. Take time out for yourself. This includes hobbies.
2. A lot of people say that they don't have time to indulge in hobbies or exercise but often one has to make time or create a time-slot where to fit in these activities without neglecting other areas. See how you can strike a balance.
3. Make a list of things you can do, like to do, are available near by and easily. Make a judgment call whether you will be able to do those activities consistently over the long term; choose from those you can.
4. Prioritize your tasks instead of multi-tasking. Multi-tasking is anxiety provoking for a lot of people and unfortunately that is the popular culture at work today. However for some who are unable to work in this way, it causes fatigue, inability to meet deadlines, distractions and avoidance of tasks.
5. Focus on one task at a time. Even if you are tempted to shift in between tasks, do something similar instead of going on Facebook or any social media for example. A drastic change is more of a distraction than shifting between similar tasks. For example, you may choose a routine task at work when you feel like you have been focusing on one thing too long and are getting burnt out.
6. Assess in what environment you are able to work best or most creatively and strive to create that kind of environment. For e.g., if you are distracted by noise or music and need complete silence, try using noise resistant headphones or ear plugs when you are on an important task.
7. Assess at what time you are able to work best or most creatively and get most of your important work done then. For e.g.,mornings are the best time to memorize and take in new information. If you are preparing for a presentation, morning will be the best time. However, this is dependent on your preference and work hours.
8. If you have a job that requires you to sit for long hours make sure you get up every 40 minutes, walk around, stretch your arms and legs if possible, rotate your ankle and neck muscles.
9. You should also monitor your posture while you sit and be aware how you sit; when you catch yourself slouching you can correct your posture. It's best to sit straight with the spine erect for as long as possible.
10. Drink plenty of water. Keep a bottle of water next to you or on your table so as to stay hydrated while you work and during the course of the day. This is especially for those who work outdoors or in the sun or the work requires a lot of activity.
1. Drinking too much tea or coffee throughout the day can cause restlessness, sweating, increased heartbeat and difficulty falling asleep at night. These drinks have the ability to counteract the body's natural processes and circadian rhythm. Look for other alternatives like green tea, jasmine tea or fresh juices especially in the evening.
2. Forced sleep deprivation using drinks like coffee and red bull is very common among students and professionals these days. It has an adverse effect on the heart and overall health. Side effects include (but are not limited to) feeling very disoriented and 'wired' the next day.
3. Food intake should also be monitored. Breakfast is a must so as to be energized for the day. Rice or heavy foods make you sleepy so have a soup and salad bowl or something light before attempting tasks that need you to be alert instead of butter, ghee and rice products.
4. Try car-pooling, using office transport or taking the bus or metro if the drive to office and back is too tiring.
5. If you wake up in the middle of a sleep cycle you will be groggy but if you wake up at the end of a cycle you will feel more refreshed. Sleep cycle is subjective and varies from person to person. There are apps and assessments done to measures your sleep cycle based on movement, sound and other factors. There are also alarms preprogrammed to ring when your sleep cycle concludes. You can see if this helps you at all. A more thorough and clinical assessment will of course have more concrete results in case your issue is severe.
6. Cigarette breaks are very convenient during work but highly counterproductive and time consuming.
7. Procrastination and pushing things to the deadline is anxiety provoking for some people. However there is a small chunk that finds this stress, motivating to get work done. You can decide which bracket you fall into. Of course, if you feel like you are unable to handle the stress or produce poor quality of work under pressure, this option may not be for you.
8. When you leave work, analyze what sort of tensions you have had so as to not vent out on your partner. It is important to do this before you get home and not carry it home. Or even if you've had a bad day at work, make sure to communicate it to your partner/family/people you live with, in a way that it does not offend them or make them too low.
Additionally, there are steps that an organization or a business can take in order to ensure the mental health and wellbeing of their employees:
1. Policy against sexual harassment and provisions to report wrong-doing, anonymously.
2. Team building exercises
3. Regular Seminars for employee development
4. Perks
5. Performance assessment and reward and appreciation atleast annually
6. Counselors available for mental health needs
7. Regulating timing: Most companies do not encourage more than a 40 hour work week. More hours does not always translate to higher productivity at work.

Why Not Eat Insects? by Vincent M Holt
by Vincent M Holt
"Them insects eats up every blessed green thing that do grow, and us farmers starves."
"Well, eat them, and grow fat!"
Nice little hundred-page paperback, originally printed 1885, reprinted in 1967, 1969, and 1973. Three reprints! Outlines in plain language why the custom of eating certain insects should be encouraged, which insects to avoid, and which animals we regularly eat that are much grosser than insects. Honestly it makes a pretty good case! If you eat (for instance) lobster, why not crickets? Lobsters eat literal shit, crickets eat grass or whatever.
The Bible says it's OK, but the Bible says a lot of stuff that society ignores…
The technical term for eating insects is "entomophagy", here's the Wikipedia entry: [link]. A contemporary term for insects raised as food is "minilivestock" but I find that name irksome because "microlivestock" means small-size breeds of conventional livestock (miniature sheep, etc.). You're gonna make mini smaller than micro? come on. I realize that you can't say "nanolivestock", but why not "picolivestock"? There's a lot of prefixes at our disposal and pico is the cutest.
One curious thing about this is how the last word on each page is repeated at the start of the next page. This can't have been for the benefit of the printer, because there are page numbers too. Maybe this was to help the reader?
Hell yeah. Love to see a weird niche served. Entomological Reprint Specialists, I salute you.
I showed this book to my friend Cool Breeze and he couldn't believe it. "Why would someone write a book about why you shouldn't eat insects? Seems obvious". I told him it was about the exact opposite thing, then we figured out that he had been parsing the title in Hulk-speak. ala "Why Hulk Smash" or "Why Hulk Not Trust Humans".
I probably got this at a library book sale from my first job at the Worcester Public Library, sooo I probably paid under a dollar for it, and I've probably been carrying it around since… 1996? $1 in 1996 money is approximately $1.57 today, that's still a great deal.
Generally my paperbacks are organized under: classics, sci fi, trashy, and weirdies. this one is filed under: weirdie

Our main goal is to create opportunities, space and scope for the learner of the talents of our youth and to develop more of those sectors which have already been put under skill development for the last so many years and also to identify new sectors for skill development. To make knowledge the greatest asset of our learners, ensuring they lead a successful life wherever they go.
To be a premier market - focused organization that develops and nourishes careers of the learners worldwide, enabling success from the centre of technology, transforming the way our industry peers do business, produce predictable earnings for our shareholders and become a learning and enterprising environment for our employees."
Today, Skill Development, Vocational Training and Coaching programmes is becoming such concept whereby organisations are considering the requirements of the society by taking the initiative and responsibility for the impact of these activities on communities and the environment in all aspects of their operations. The skill gap between the industry requirements and the manpower available is one of the most important global issues with serious challenges and implications on almost all sectors. Surging economies, including India, are coping with issues related to poverty, community welfare etc and are of major concern so here comes the role of Skill Development and short term coaching courses sector which is still shaping up and has the ability to fulfill the above mentioned gap along with reducing the poverty for the Indian economy.
As India rides the wave of economic boom and commercial success, this Skill Development is presenting itself both as an opportunity and an important requirement for corporates to be engaged in.
I greatly appreciate the sincere efforts made by our Team and Corporate Governance wing of our Organization that has provided us with valuable insight and supported us enormously towards the growth of the organization in this educational sector.

An Examination of Current Approaches to Integrative Indigenous and Western Knowledge System Implementation in Water Research and Management: A Case Study Encompassing the Colonized Geographies of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States
Stefanelli, Robert
MetadataShow full item record
The commodification of natural resources and the pursuit of continuous growth has resulted in environmental degradation, depletion, and disparity in access to these life-sustaining resources, including water. Utility-based objectification and exploitation of water in some societies has brought us to the brink of crisis through an apathetic disregard for present and future generations. The ongoing depletion and degradation of the world's water sources, coupled with a reliance on Western knowledge and the continued omission of Indigenous knowledge to manage our relationship with water has unduly burdened many, but particularly so for Indigenous communities. The goal of my thesis research is to call attention to and advance the value and validity of using both Indigenous and Western knowledge systems (also known as Two-Eyed Seeing) in water research and management to better care for water. To achieve this goal, I used a combined systematic and realist review method to identify and synthesize the peer-reviewed, integrative water literature, followed by semi-structured interviews with first authors of the exemplars from the included literature to identify the challenges and insights that researchers have experienced in conducting integrative water research. Findings suggest that these authors recognize that many previous attempts to integrate Indigenous knowledges have been tokenistic rather than meaningful, and that new methods for knowledge implementation are needed. Community-based participatory research methods, and the associated tenets of balancing power, fostering trust, and community ownership over the research process, emerged as a pathway towards the meaningful implementation of Indigenous and Western knowledge systems. Data also indicate that engagement and collaborative governance structures developed from a position of mutual respect are integral to the realization of a given project. The recommendations generated from these findings offer support for future Indigenous-led research and partnerships through the identification and examination of approaches that facilitate the meaningful implementation of Indigenous and Western knowledge systems in water research and management. Asking Western science questions and seeking Indigenous science solutions does not appear to be working; instead, the co-design of research projects and asking questions directed at the problem rather than the solution better lends itself to the strengths of Indigenous science.

Everything You Need To Find Out Regarding Bunions
A bunion occurs when the big to begins to deviate towards the second toe. The biggest misconception is that bunions occur from an overgrowth of bone. While this may be true in very few people, the bunion really represents a dislocation or subluxation of the big toe joint and it bulges against the skin. This bony prominence is what is commonly called a bunion. Sometimes the bunion area may become irritated, red and/or callused.
Causes of bunions and risk factors for bunions include a family tendency to bunions may make them more likely to develop. Arthritis of the foot, if it affects walking, it can make bunions more likely to develop. Neuromuscular problems, such as cerebral palsy. Biomechanical factors, such as low arches, flat feet and hypermobile joints, can increase the risk. Wearing shoes that are too tight, too narrow and with pointed toes will exacerbate symptoms if bunions are present. Wearing high heels will also exacerbate existing bunions. Women are more prone to bunions than men.
It is unusual to have much bunion or hallux valgus pain when out of shoe wear or at rest. There are exceptions to this and in particular if symptoms have been ignored during the day and the bunion has become very painful during the day then some symptoms may be present at night. The pain from the region of the great toe at rest or at night is however more often a symptom of an arthritic big toe (hallux rigidus) rather than a straightforward bunion. To confuse matters these two conditions can sometimes coexist. Bunion or hallux valgus pain is most often present when walking in enclosed shoes. There may be little bunion pain in sandals or barefoot. It is unusual to have much bunion pain when not putting weight on the foot or at night. If there is bunion pain at rest or at night then there may also be arthritic change within the toe.
When an x-ray of a bunion is taken, there is usually angulation between the first metatarsal bone and the bones of the big toe. There may also be angulation between the first and second metatarsal bones. These angular irregularities are the essence of most bunions. In general, surgery for bunions aims to correct such angular deformities.
Non Surgical Treatment
There are two ways to treat this pathological foot conditions, conservatively and surgically. Conservative treatment is the first line treatment which consists of splints and orthotic care to reduce the causative factors. Realigning the foot with the aid of an orthotic helps prevent further degeneration and/or reduce symptoms of HAV in any stage of its deformity. Along with orthotic care, patients may require debridement of corns and calluses produced due to extra forces produced on the foot. Orthotics will also help the function of the big toe joint as it allows it to bend in the correct position. Footwear advice is also essential in the conservative care of bunions, HAV, there may be a need to change footwear, so it is able to fit properly and be compliment with orthotics. Surgical correction of bunions, HAV is available, however should only be considered when conservative care has failed to reduce the onset of bunions, HAV. It is only considered if there is a clear sign that it will induce a better quality of life for the patient.
Surgical Treatment
Bunion surgery is occasionally required when the bunion deformity is too advanced for conservative treatment to work. Your surgeon will usually cut an angular section from the bone to correct the alignment. In some cases, multiple toes may need to be straighten.
Here are some tips to help you prevent bunions. Wear shoes that fit well. Use custom orthotic devices. Avoid shoes with small toe boxes and high heels. Exercise daily to keep the muscles of your feet and legs strong and healthy. Follow your doctor?s treatment and recovery instructions thoroughly. Unfortunately, if you suffer from bunions due to genetics, there may be nothing you can do to prevent them from occurring. Talk with your doctor about additional prevention steps you can take, especially if you are prone to them.

The US financial regulator sends numerous subpoenas to organizers and advisors to projects that attracted financing via Initial Coin Offerings. Experts believe that this is only the beginning of an active effort to establish state control over the ICO market.
The Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States (SEC) has begun a large-scale investigation against companies related to ICOs. The regulator wrote dozens of subpoenas and sent them to technology companies and their advisors asking them to provide information about the structure of sales and pre-sales of tokens within ICOs, the Wall Street Journal reports citing anonymous sources.
According to information provided by sources, the SEC primarily pays attention to simple agreements for future tokens (SAFT), popular among companies that attract financing through cryptocurrencies and ICOs.
Such agreements allow you to purchase tokens within a preliminary crowdsale, or pre-ICO. The rights to these tokens can be bought, sold or exchanged before the start of the main crowdsale. SEC suspects that such agreements are used as securities, but do not comply with the rules and requirements for such tools. For example, earlier this year the operator of a popular messenger Telegram attracted $850 million from 81 investors within the pre-sale. Information on whether Telegram received from the regulator a judicial request is not disclosed, notes WSJ.
So far, the SEC identified only a few cases of fraud. In January, the regulator issued cease and desist order to the start-up AriseBank, accusing the company's management of misleading investors by offering to buy a stake in the bank with. By then, AriseBank managed to attract $600 million through ICO.
Head of the SEC's cyber-enforcement unit Robert Cohen said last week that at least a dozen companies have delayed their ICOs since the agency has raised questions concerning their practices.
"We're seeing the tip of the iceberg … there is going to be a ton of enforcement activity," said Dan Gallager, former SEC commissioner who now sits on the board of a blockchain technology company Symbiont. Gallager compared the world of unregulated ICOs with "the freaking Wild West—it is 'Wolf of Wall Street' on steroids."
According to Token Report statistics, about $1.66 billion has already been collected via ICOs this year. At the same time, according to a popular ICO-tracker Tokendata, almost half of projects that raised financing via ICOs in 2017 failed or show no signs of development.

Home >> GMAT >> Essays >> Essay - 72
The following appeared as part of an editorial in a campus newspaper.
�With an increasing demand for highly skilled workers, this nation will soon face a
serious labor shortage. New positions in technical and professional occupations are
increasing rapidly, while at the same time the total labor force is growing slowly.
Moreover, the government is proposing to cut funds for aid to education in the near
Discuss how well reasoned... etc.
TIn this argument the author predicts a nationwide labor shortage in the near future. The basis for this prediction is an increasing
demand for highly skilled workers, especially in technical and professional fields, coupled with a slow-growing labor force and a
government proposal to cut funds for aid to education. At first glance, the author�s argument appears to be somewhat convincing: but
further reflection reveals that it is based on some dubious assumptions.
In the first place the author assumes that the present labor force is immobile and that the demand �for highly skilled workers will have
to be met by workers who are entering the labor market for the first time. Recent American history, however, shows that this
assumption is entirely unfounded. At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution most Americans were farm workers, but by the end of
that revolution most had become factory workers. Thus, even though the labor pool remained relatively constant during this period, the
number of farm workers decreased and the number of factory workers increased. This example clearly demonstrates the mobility of
the labor force.
In the second place, the author assumes that the government proposal to cut funds for aid to education will have a significant negative
impact on the ability to train workers in technical and professional fields. The fact is, however, that the percentage of students who rely
on government aid for their education is relatively small, so the effect of such cuts would be negligible.
In conclusion, this argument is unconvincing. To strengthen the argument the author would have to show that the present work force was
relatively static and that the proposed cut in educational aid would have a deleterious effect on the numbers of high skilled workers
available to enter the work force in the future.

Juliet Ramamurthy is the current president of CCWI. Santosh Digal of Matters India talks to find it more about CCWI and its relevance in today's context.
Matters India: Please tell us briefly about CCWI.
Juliet Ramamurthy: The CCWI is a registered body under the Societies Registration Act. It was inaugurated in 1964 at the time of the Eucharistic Congress held in Bombay with representatives from 15 dioceses. Now, it has emerged as a strong body of women and has been established in many dioceses of India. We have now 38 active units in India.
The CCWI is recognized by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI). It is affiliated to the World Union of Catholic Women's Organizations (WUCWO).
We work along with the CBCI Women's Commission in many dioceses. We also interact with women's groups of other Christian denominations. The association plays a critical role in helping to address societal problems, especially problems of women and children. Our Catholic values, teachings, and traditions provide the foundation for the work CCWI does.
The CCWI had humble beginnings when the seeds of a national organization were sown by Countess Christine de Hemptinne of Belgium who addressed the Catholic women of Bangalore on behalf of the WUCWO. Encouraged by Archbishop Thomas Pothacamury, the then Archbishop of Bangalore, a woman forum was formed in 1956. This along with a similar association in Mangalore became nucleus for the formation of the CCWI.
In 1964 Eucharistic Congress in Bombay (now Mumbai) provided the occasion for initiating the CCWI. This meeting was blessed by Archbishop Eugene D'Souza, then in charge of the Laity Commission of the CBCI. He appointed Jesuit Father [Agostino] Agnoletto, [a professor of Mangalore's St Joseph Seminary,] as the ecclesiastical advisor.
What are the objectives?
The CCWI co-ordinates the activities of women in India, in civic, psychological, emotional, physical, social, cultural, educational, health, economic, religious and spiritual fields and thus to play a more effective role in the life of the Church and country.
It serves as a medium through which women of India could speak and act as a body on all matters of public interest and specific matters affecting the life and ideals of women, irrespective of caste, creed, and community.
We coordinate between different Catholic organizations of women existing in dioceses and different regions.
The CCWI helps outline common policies and joint programs to be undertaken by different organizations either jointly or singly at a local, regional, national or global level and promote the establishment of local/diocesan councils under the guidance of the local bishops.
We establish contact and relations with other national groups in the country, with a view to enlist interest in and help in the solution of common moral, educational and socio-economic problems.
We foster relations with organizations in other countries whether national or international, with a view to co-operate in problems common to women throughout the world and to be in contact with the CBCI for all matters affecting the Church and the organization.
What are some recent activities?
We have many programs such as fostering functional literacy, education and social awareness generation, augmenting participation of women in local governance, encouraging women's income generation (embroidery, sewing, knitting, candle-making, and mushroom cultivation) and economic capacity building, upholding non-violence and social empowerment, improving family health and nutrition, providing supportive health care for women through awareness camps, promoting healthy living and nutrition through nutrition demonstration camps.
We have short stay homes for women in distress. We join prison ministry, protests against justice, provide scholarships for girls, conduct computer training classes for poor women and girls, awareness program on HIV/AIDS, trafficking and crimes against women, child labor and other social issues. We also provide meals to the old and needy, visit hospitals, conduct spiritual retreats during Lent, encourage Bible reading and pray at homes of the sick and bereaved.
How does your organization make a difference for women and society?
The CCWI plays a critical role in helping to address societal problems, especially problems of women and children. Our Catholic values, teachings, and traditions help us empower women and help them become independent.
What has been your experience as its president?
I have had the privilege to meet wonderful people of all the units of the CCWI. Over the last couple of years, I have seen my growth as a leader. I am grateful for the opportunities CCWI has offered me and through my involvement with the members and their priceless work to fulfill our mission. I have traveled to many of our units, including the North East Regions and opened a unit in Nagaland. I have also tried to revive dormant units.
Has gender justice gained real momentum in Indian psyche and societal system?
In spite of having so many enactments and laws dealing with women and judgments of the Supreme Court protecting women and the downtrodden, the condition of women has not improved and they still face all types of atrocities.
The Legislature and the Judiciary have failed to provide respect to women in society. Human Rights Watch says changes in India will not happen until these laws are strictly implemented, support services are made available, and barriers to victims' access to justice and healthcare are reduced. Fight for gender justice should be in full force.
In recent years, cases of rape and other forms of violence against women have increased. How can this be addressed effectively? What is the way forward?
Despite India's anti-rape laws, sexual assault is a major problem. An insensitive, inefficient, corrupt and unaccountable judicial system and law enforcement machinery fails to deter various forms of crimes against women. The battle for empowering women rages on. Jawaharlal Nehru said, "You can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women."
To truly understand and address violence against women, there needs to be a sea-change in the mindset of the people in the country. Men should wake up to a world of equality and equity. It is better that happens earlier rather than later, for our own good.
Sexual assault is the result of lack of awareness of the existing laws. In many places, many women are not aware of the existing laws. Those laws are insufficient, conflicting, and have no effect in practice. Women report acts of violence first to the police. Therefore, police attitudes are crucial in facilitating a sense of safety and comfort for women victims. When police officers are hostile to the victims, these women get no justice.
Measures to address violence against women range from access to legal aid to the provision of shelters and hotlines for victims. Despite advances in legislation and policies, the lack of implementation of the measures prevents significant progress in eradicating violence against women. The failure to apply existing laws and procedures is often due to the persistent gender stereotyping.
Stringent laws to punish the perpetrators of sexual crimes immediately should be put in place. Only then will fear be instilled in people.
It is reported that many Indians, including women, do not consider sexual violence as a serious problem. Your comments.
Sadly, some people think women are simultaneously victims as well as perpetrators of rapes they endure. Men will be men, the argument goes, which apparently means that men will be rapists.
How can CCWI pitch in to ease the phenomenon?
We believe that positive social change has a direct effect on the lives of women and that change is possible only through an equal and spontaneous participation of Women.

Red saffron oil has a very sharp aroma, so if you use it excessively, it will make hot and spicy on the eyes. Many people also think that red saffron oil has a mystical aura.
This oil comes from saffron flowers; this is a flower that has a blue color. This saffron flower has the scientific name of Crocus sativus. The origin of this saffron flower comes from the middle east region. At first, the saffron flower is used as a cooking spice and natural dyes. Saffron flower has a unique taste slightly bitter and fragrant. The extract from this herb is very expensive because of the complicated production process besides seasonal crop.

My day was blessed yesterday.
It started off great – I got to walk with Carey through Cottonwood. Then I rode the motorcycle to a meeting at work during which folks told me I am doing a great job. I was grateful but uncomfortable with that, because I know it is God's blessing – not my work – they are seeing. But He wouldn't let me tell them – it's not the right time. I was glad when I got to "clock out" and go home to spend time with Carey.
While I was at work Carey went to visit – and pray with – friends. Carey cooked cubed steak for supper. After supper we watched "An Affair to Remember" (from 1957.) We loved the first part but didn't like when they stopped talking to each other.
Darcy had a good day at school and brought home a progress report for me to sign – an "A."
Matt made it home from Wakarusa late yesterday morning and went to work at 4p. He closed Staples last night then brought Micah back to our house where they cooked spaghetti together sometime after 10p.

Recently, my friend Tiffany posted something on facebook about how her students had no idea who Paris Hilton is. What's totally freaky about that is that very morning while I was in the shower, I thought "what ever happened to Paris Hilton?" I thought this after looking up and seeing ants on the bathroom ceiling. Which made me start humming Lionel Richie's Dancing on the Ceiling. This in turn made me wonder about Lionel's daughter Nicole Richie who was bffs with Paris Hilton. Completely logical train of thought.
We drove home from my Mom's house Saturday evening, leaving early enough in the day to have daylight through most of our drive. At least up to the last hour or so. The section between Joplin and Kansas City is one long straight line and the highway is surrounded by a seemingly endless flat landscape of fields and farmland. It can be a tedious drive. We were somewhere in the middle of it when we started to pass a semi. As we neared level with the driver of that semi, I started to pump my fist in the air, giving him the universal blow your horn sign. Then the driver honked twice and Michael and I cheered and clapped all while the Cabbage sat oblivious and uninterested in the backseat. I looked at Michael and asked "do kids even do that anymore? try to get the semi to honk?" He shook his head and replied "maybe not."
The other day the Cabbage was telling Michael about a video she had on her mom's phone that she watches to brush her teeth. Michael asked her where she found the video and the Cabbage said "I just asked the phone." The kids growing up today don't even really need to read or write. They can just tap a button and ask a question. Eventually they won't even know how to open a door or a window and they will not know that you can get a truck driver to blow his horn. They will not know that Strawberry Shortcake dolls smelled like strawberries or lemons or blueberry pie and they will not know how to look at a paper map and find anything. For a moment I was a little sad about all the little simplicities that children today would not know, but then I realized I sounded like the old man yelling at kids to get off his lawn. The kids growing up today have Strawberry Shortcakes of their own and their maps are three dimensional with real buildings. Same but not same. I am thankful that I can teach the Cabbage the universal blow your horn signal. Thursday, I did all kinds of responsible grown up things like scheduling doctor appointments and managing finances, which made me thankful for those reminders to think and be like a kid.
We rescued a baby rabbit from the cat Sunday night and Josephine ate half a chocolate easter bunny Wednesday night. The animals are keeping us on our toes and have a thing for bunnies. I'm thankful we were able to save the live one and I'm thankful that Josephine didn't eat enough chocolate to hurt her. Jr, my great nephew, is coming home from basic training this weekend. Everyone has missed his face so dang much. I'm thankful for his return. I am thankful for a box of lemons that Heather sent me from California. I am thankful for a quiet weekend. I am thankful for you.
Here's to a weekend of gardens and chickens and here's to a wonderful Thankful Friday!

While I have personally lived this, I had never really thought about this, but it makes sense: kids being active in youth sports has an impact on parents.
This Purdue study found a positive impact for parents of youth athletes. Some benefits include social friendships, improved spousal communication, and more. This links to the press release from Purdue as I have not found the full article yet.

The mandate of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls is to hear the voices of survivors and families in order to learn the truth and find solutions to end the alarming rates of violence against Indigenous women and girls. It is also to understand why Indigenous women and girls go missing or murdered in disproportionate rates. This level of violence and injustice is unacceptable.
As of October 2017, the National Inquiry has heard testimony from survivors and families in Whitehorse, YT, Smithers, BC, Winnipeg, MB, and Membertou, NS. On November 1, 2017, the National Inquiry submitted its Interim Report (available on the MMIWG website) outlining the following recommendations:
- Implement the Calls to Action of the TRC, particularly those impacting women and children. Jordan's principle and full implementation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People are named specifically.
- Comply with the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruling (2016) that Canada has racially discriminated against First Nations children.
- Provide information of those who participated in pre-Inquiry hearings to the National Inquiry or provide those people with process information on how to participate in the National Inquiry.
- Provide federal, provincial, and territorial project funding in addition to regular operational funding to allow meaningful participation of Indigenous organizations in the Inquiry.
- Establish a commemoration fund (federally funded, in collaboration with national and regional Indigenous organizations and in partnership with family organizations, Indigenous artists, and grassroots activists).
- Provide increased federal funding to Health Canada's Resolution Health Support Program and expand its services to meet the increased need created by the Inquiry.
- Enable Health Canada's Resolution Health Support Program to fund Indigenous organizations and other service providers to provide necessary health supports to families and survivors participating in the National Inquiry and commemoration projects.
- Establish an engagement process among government, families, survivors, Indigenous organizations, and the National Inquiry to investigate the feasibility of restoring the Aboriginal Healing Foundation.
- Work collaboratively at federal, provincial, and territorial levels to create a national police task force to which the National Inquiry could refer families or survivors to assess/reopen cases and investigations.
- Provide alternatives and options to federal administrative rules to allow the National Inquiry to fulfill the terms of its mandate, given the short timeframe now provided.
In hearing from our global partners and grassroots advocates as well as from reports in the news, we have learned that survivors and families need additional emotional and spiritual support, especially once the National Inquiry moves on from their particular area. Now, more than ever, we need to reach out to Indigenous organizations and grassroots partners to lead the way in supporting the survivors and families who are providing testimony at the Community Hearings across Canada.
As members of the Aboriginal Ministries Council, staff, and allies, we are committed to supporting the survivors and families by attending the upcoming Community Hearings to provide our prayerful support and witness the strengths and challenges of the survivors and families. We have also begun to reach out to Indigenous agencies/grassroots groups and non-Indigenous allies/networks to provide as much support to the survivors and families at each Community Hearing. These hearings are being livestreamed; link from the MMIWG website.
Furthermore, we will continue to advocate for a culturally appropriate, trauma-informed inquiry that address the structural roots of violence against Indigenous women and girls within a human rights framework. We will continue to pray for the survivors and families of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. We will pray for their ongoing strength, guidance and protection. We invite all United Church communities of faith to attend and/or support Indigenous families and communities as they provide testimony at the National Inquiry into the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. For more information, please visit our call for action, Justice for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, and read the following blogs:
- Uplifting the Families at the Edmonton Inquiry
- Sharing Tears at the Thunder Bay Inquiry
- Confronting Injustice at the Quebec Inquiry
Support for families is available in Ontario. If you are a family member of an Indigenous woman or girl who is missing or has been murdered, you can find support at one of Ontario's Family Information Liaison Units (FILUs). FILU staff can provide access to supports and information about court proceedings and police investigations.
