A word about us | Contact us | Home page
Mountaineering club "Pobeda" is situated in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia and Yugoslavia. The name "Pobeda" means "Victory".
Our club "Pobeda" is the most
numerous club in Yugoslavia. We have more than 2000 members and we organize
the most exciting trips in our country. As example 1997. we had 172
actions and 6247 mountaineers and alpinists took part in them.
We possess our own bus, a mountaineering house and a hut, the library, various climbing equipment, telecommunications devices Those things are the result of working our activists for many years. Every week our members climb some tops. Most of them are in Serbia and Montenegro. It is not the only thing we do. We also visit historical places, monasteries, and other interesting places of our country. We organize an lectures for people who want to learn about nature and environment.
Once or twice a year we go on, so called "The big trip". It is the crown of our activity. That is the difference between the other similar clubs in Yugoslavia and the Pobeda. Usually, about 30 or more, members of "Pobeda" travel and climb peaks of Europe, Africa, Asia There are, right now many young climbers in "Pobeda" who are as much as they can devoted to climbing famous mountain peaks from all over the world. They are the members of the section for, so called "High mountains" in Pobeda. I may say that section represents the heart of the club, and the club is proud of people who are in the section. Of course, there are many other groups in the club, which are going in for orienteering, taking mountain photographs, free climbing, mountain cycling, education and so on. Those groups are very important, because "Pobeda" has many activists and much interest of everything, which has any connection with nature.
On the other hand, 1998 was very special for all of us. We were celebrating the anniversary of 50 years existing, which means "Pobeda" was established in 1948. We had made a climbing plan for 1998. That plan included 50 mountain peaks over 2000 m height. The aim was every peak for every year exisiting. I am very happy to say that we were very successful and we climbed exactly 75 peaks. The crown of all our, last few years travels, was climbing "The Roof of Europe" - Mont Blanc (4807 m). We prepared very hard for that. As I said, we have the most numerous club, so that was why we wanted to climb the famous mountain with many people. 112 mountaineers participated in preparation, and 40 of them were chosen to go to Mont Blanc. In winter 1998/99. we climbed more than 15 tops in cold conditions. In 1996. we also climbed Ankogel and Gossglockner (the highest top in Austria 3798 m). There were some peaks in Slovakia too.
In July, 35 climbers from
Yugoslavia climbed Mont Blanc, and it was a great success of the whole
club "Pobeda". I must point out, there have never been as many people
as on 24th, July, 1998. from Yugoslavia. So, it is a kind of
new Yugoslav record and we are all very proud of that.
We tried to introduce ourselves shortly.
you want to cooperate with us or only to contact us, here is the address:
Macvanska 8
11000 Belgrade
Phone: +381 11 455 781
Best regards from all members of the club "Pobeda".

Pumpkins are available in all shapes, colors, and sizes, from the miniature to the gigantic sweet sugar pumpkin, which can weigh in at as much as 100 pounds. The pumpkin is a member of the gourd family, which also includes muskmelon, watermelon, and squash. Its orange flesh has a mild, sweet flavor which is used in side dishes and in many desserts.
With so many varieties and uses, it's no wonder that people love to eat food with pumpkin as a star ingredient.
Tips for Using Pumpkin in Your Recipes
Use these tips for successfully cooking with pumpkin.
- Fall and winter are the harvesting seasons for this tasty fruit of a trailing vine, another good reason why pumpkin is a popular vegetable for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
- Choose smaller pumpkins for eating. Sugar pumpkins are usually labeled by the market for cooking purposes as opposed to those used for decorating or Jack-o'-lanterns.
- Pumpkin seeds, known as pepitas, are often roasted and eaten as snacks. Another by-product, pumpkin seed oil, is normally mixed with other oils for cooking, salad dressings and other uses due to its strong flavor and color.
- Pumpkin seeds can be toasted on a cookie sheet in the oven at a low temperature. Be sure to stir them often and watch for burning. Some prefer to soak the seeds in salt water before toasting.
- Shelled pumpkin seeds can be used as a less expensive alternative to pine nuts in recipes.
- Try cooked mashed pumpkin in cake and muffin recipes for added moisture and texture.
- Higher temperatures cause pumpkin flesh to become stringy. If you end up with a stringy pumpkin, you can beat the pulp with an electric mixer on high speed for ten seconds and then switch to low speed for sixty seconds. The strings should wrap around the beaters for easy removal.
- Homemade pureed pumpkin for pies is usually much thinner in texture than canned. To alleviate excess moisture, bake rather than steam or boil the pumpkin. Mash and drain through cheesecloth before using in pies.

Flying close to the sun: SEO tactics that may get you burned
The compulsion to take the "brisk and simple" route is all over the place, and SEO is the same. What sort of risk would you say you will take for better rankings and more organic traffic? For a long time presently, there has been a continuous discussion in the SEO world about whether "Black Hat" or "Grey Hat" strategies — that is, methods that endeavour to accomplish snappier outcomes by spurning the search engines' guidelines — are adequate. While numerous analysts take a moralistic tone around this issue, I like to take a gander at it as far as risk. On the off chance that you will chance a Google penalty for the conceivable result of snappier or better rankings, at that point pull out all the stops! Simply don't be shocked when Google gets insightful to what you're doing and your traffic takes a plunge! Doesn't make a difference if it's months or years after the fact; hope to recognize the cold hard reality.
Steering clear
By and by, as somebody who works with a ton of expansive enterprises with much in question, I avoid black hat and grey hat methods. For anybody chipping away at an area they would prefer not to go down on fire, there's essentially no real way to legitimize betting with a site's power and notoriety in such a heedless way. In the SEO world, there are a lot of individuals willing to go out on a limb. Numerous SEOs I know mention that what is viewed as dim cap and dark cap might be abstract, contingent upon the business you are working in. While numerous SEO experts have long stretches of involvement in this field, Google's algos get more brilliant constantly, and it's getting to be increasingly hard for even the best SEOs to outflank Google. That is particularly valid for black or grey cap amateurs. It's reasonable for expect that a considerable lot of Google's calculations learn and advance self-rulingly. In such a world, black hat SEO strategies have turned out to be far more hazardous, not worth the exertion. So what are the dangers and advantages (assuming any) of utilizing grey hat and black hat procedures these days? For the record, Bing and Google are, sure about what conflicts with their approaches. Here is an once-over of the most widely recognized dark/dark cap strategies and my bits of knowledge on each.
Private blog networks
Private blog networks (PBNs) emerged as an easy route to building specialist. The premise is straightforward: purchase a bundle of expired domain with great domain authority and make a link back to your site. Pros: Using PBNs implies you have full control over your link building and can spare time and cash on link outreach. Cons: If only one of the destinations in your system gets hit with a punishment, it can rapidly be passed on to any site you're connecting to. You can burn your whole system with one blunder.
Spun, scraped or keyword-stuffed content
Making great substance is tedious and costly, so it's nothing unexpected that individuals search for alternate routes. Pros: Quickly and effectively make new substance. At scale! Cons: Destroy validity with your clients and search engines when you distribute.
Negative SEO
It's a ferocious world out there, and in some cases individuals undermine their rivals' websites. Pros: None that merit having. Cons: You could end up prohibited from the search results or in prison.
Paid links
Requesting joins from different websites to enhance your ranking or boost traffic to your website pages is a fundamental piece of SEO. It's additionally tedious, baffling and exhausting. Be that as it may, in the event that you think buying links is the appropriate response, reconsider. It's against Google and Bing's guidelines, so if either engine gets you, you can end up with a penalty and have your rankings wiped out. Pros: Easier than conventional link building. Cons: You'll accomplish a superior result utilizing white-hat third link building strategies, and you'll most likely spend less over the long haul.
Cloaking alludes to the act of making one kind of substance to show to a search engine spider (say, a page loaded with keyword rich duplicate) while demonstrating another sort of substance to the client (for instance, a picture substantial page with sales duplicate). In case you're cloaking your substance, it won't take yearn for Google to make sense of it. Pros: None. Cons: Your site will be blacklisted or even penalized by Google.

Could you save an average of $4000 a month for an entire year? In effect, that was my goal for 2013 when I set a target of $48,000 in contributions. Yet given we had plans for our month long vacation and my wife's trip back out to Gander, NL to see her baby niece it was bound to be a significant challenge to achieve that goal.
Yet now that there are only a few days left in the month I can say I'm so close to making it that I can smell it. Yet I confess that I might end up just a little bit short, I'm not 100% sure yet. The last $500 or so might not actually happen. So let's assume for the moment I do miss that last $500, what happens?
Not much of anything to be honest. The goal was entirely just based on my estimated cash flows for the year, so the reality is if I miss it by $500 or 1% I'm not really freaking out. After all trying to hit that precise of a target that far out with so much variability in life, I could live with failure if that is what it looks like.
You see some goals are precise and have no grey zone around them. For athletes you often just either win or lose, there really isn't much else. No one recalls who loses the big game in a few years time. Yet other goals like my savings target are lines in the sand. They exist only to help steer me in the right direction, but I still can win the war even if I lose this particular battle.
On a similar note I'm going to be over budget in our Christmas shopping for the first time in a decade by a whole $90. I failed to meet another target, but then again was it a reasonable budget to begin with…looking back I don't think so. We missed one person entirely we would have to buy for, so we didn't have enough slack in our other spending to cover it.
The point is when saving for something that takes decades it is ok to fail at some of your interim goals. Frankly I would be shocked is anyone met all their goals all the time, as it would indicate to me the goals are too easy. Failure is part of life, without the risk of missing a goal you don't have anything to push yourself with. So get comfortable with failure, take it as an opportunity to learn from your mistakes, but also don't forget to celebrate your successes too.
How do you handle failing to meet a goal? Or how do you celebrate when you achieve one?

Hooray! A cross stitch finish-finish!
I made this my project for a Facebook weekend stitch-a-long, and finished the whole thing this afternoon. Yay.
If you haven't seen Lesley's instructions yet, you can go here. She has added a variation since I first started gushing over this idea, which makes points instead of a cushion. You have to see it to understand.
I chose to do a "traditional" 15-sided biscornu – that is one that looks more like the familiar biscornus made with 2 squares. As a reminder, here are my 15 panels:
Confession – I have a bad habit of cutting my biscornu squares too close to the backstitching. In this case it was because I was working on scrap fabric (why did I do that?) so the panels were really close together. Always leave at least 1/4 inch on each edge so you don't end up pulling out your backstitches as you attach.
Following Lesley's directions, and your input, I arranged the panels in a way that made sense to me, with 5 positives and 5 negatives, and the remaining 5 panels for the sides. Y'all know me, I'm terrible about taking pictures as I go (I tried, really I did), so I don't have pictures of both the top and the bottom after I stitched them together. Here's what I have:

text: With the month of May upon us it seems that the days of having to remember your coat are behind us and the months of sunglasses and Birkenstocks are here. This calls for celebration, and what better way to celebrate than with the gift of music. For this reason I have constructed a playlist of songs that sound best with the accompaniment of a sunny summer day. The playlist consists of twenty breezy songs released in the last couple months from a wide selection of artists. Some of them you will probably be familiar with (Daft Punk's undeniably catchy new single, "Get Lucky") and others I hope you grow to love as much as I have. Enjoy and remember the sun screen.

Unaligned News For The Dog Fancy ~ Since 2002
FCI and CKC Split Effective January
1, 2007
By Louis A. Fallon
(Handy Links at end of Article)
At the
82-country Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI)#1 General
Assembly meeting in Rome on October 25 and 26, 2006, the FCI
General Committee made the following decisions regarding the
Canadian Kennel Club (CKC)#2 effective January 1, 2007;
That Canadian Kennel Club judges will no longer be allowed to
officiate at FCI International CACIB dog shows.
Pedigrees issued by the Canadian Kennel Club will no longer be
recognized by the FCI.
+ The
title of Canadian Kennel Club Champion will no longer be
accepted for entry in the Champion Class at FCI International
CACIB shows.
The FCI said that this action was due to the continuous lack of
communication and response from the Canadian Kennel Club, due to
the fact that the CKC does not recognize the pedigrees from many
of our FCI members and contract partners and due to the lack of
common orientation between the two organizations, the Canadian
Kennel Club judges will no longer be allowed to officiate at FCI
international CACIB shows as of January 1st 2007.
Fédération Cynologique Internationale was created on May 22nd,
1911 with the aim to promote and protect cynology (the
study of canines) and purebred dogs by any means it
considers necessary.
The Fédération Cynologique Internationale is the World Canine
Organization. It includes 82
members and contract partners (one member per
country) that each issue their own pedigrees and train their own
judges. The AKC is not a member of the FCI although it
recognizes it.
founding nations of the FCI were:
* Germany
(Kartell für das Deutsche Hundewesen en und Die Delegierten
* Austria (Osterreichischer Kynologenverband)
* Belgium (Société Royale Saint-Hubert)
* France (Société Centrale Canine de France)
* Netherlands (Raad van Beheer op Kynologisch Gebied in
The FCI recognizes 338 breeds. Each of the breeds is the 'property'
of a specific country. The 'owner' countries of the breeds write
the standard of these breeds (description of the ideal type of
the breed), in co-operation with the Standards and Scientific
Commissions of the FCI, and the translation and updating are
carried out by the FCI. These standards are in fact the
reference on which the judges base themselves when judging in
shows held in the FCI member countries.
The FCI makes sure that the pedigrees and judges are mutually
recognized by all the FCI members.
Every member country conducts international shows as well as
working trials. The results are sent to the FCI office where
they are input into computers. When a dog has been awarded a
certain number of awards, it can receive the title of
International Beauty or Working Champion. These titles are
confirmed by the FCI.
In addition, via the national canine organization and the FCI,
every breeder can ask for international protection of his/her
kennel name.
The FCI publishes a trimestrial magazine in four languages
(French, English, German and Spanish). Any information on this
publication are available from STRATEGO, Muhlenweg 4, 7221 Marz,
The FCI keeps a list of all the judges appointed by its
different members.

Step 1 - 30 Minute Semi-Private Workouts
Our highly effective 30-minute semi-private workouts are perfect for people who need guidance and encouragement without working out in one of those intimidating big box gyms. The sessions are designed to help you burn off the muffin top, tone up your legs, arms, butt and trim down your belly.
Now I know what you might be thinking....
'Am I going to get awesome results in a 30 minute workout??'
Let's put it this way.... if you could achieve the same (or better) results in a 30 minute workout as you would in a 45 or 60 minute workout, which one would you choose? Another way of looking at it is, if you booked a flight to Rome, would you choose the flight that will get you there the quickest or the longest? You'll want to get there quicker right?
So in this case, if I can provide you with a highly effective 30 minute workout, why would you want to extend your training any longer? You are a busy person - work, family, life!

How are our 30 minute sessions super effective??
Check it out...
Our semi-private workouts incorporate weight training and high paced cardio training.
OMG, did I say the forbidden word 'cardio'??
We all know that weight training is essential for developing muscle tone and to help you lose weight, but you've probably heard 20 year old rookie trainers telling you that you don't need to do cardio. Easy for them to say, sure, they may look great… but they're 20 years old, have never had kids, have great genetics and may be taking extra-curricular supplements. But, hey, let's not mention that… 😉
Cardio is good
When cardio is done the way we do it - quick, intense and precise, it will not only sky rocket your fitness, giving you all the energy to do your day-to-day activities with ease and make you feel more alive! But it will also stimulate higher fat burning because you will be combining it with weight training. Not to mention, cardio also boosts your immune system, making it harder for you to get sick.
Weight training - If you have never done any weight training before, then that's cool, we will teach you how to execute proper technique so you get stronger, toner and leaner - imagine having the strength to picking up the kids and not feeling any pain in your back or knees? You CAN NOT achieve strength unless you do weight training... period.
Another benefit of strength training is that it will stimulate your body to burn fat at a faster rate than if you only did long boring cardio at the gym.
Our workouts are divided into 3 types: Legs, Upper body, and Abs/core. Each day focuses on a specific body part so you can truly shape your body, tone up your arms, firm up your butt and trim down your belly. In the fastest amount of time.
Small means more attention to you!
Our semi-private sessions have a capacity of 12 people per session with 2 trainers assisting you. When you are working with weights, you need to be confident that you are doing things safely and properly so that you don't hurt yourself, and you get the most benefit from the workout.
Unlike other fitness studios that pack their clients in to big classes like sardines, we keep our groups small so we can focus on EVERY single individual participating in our sessions.
Our clients tell us that they love how we are able to put a lot more attention and focus on them individually whilst they workout.
Step 2 - Meal Plans and Nutrition Coaching
You can't out-trained a bad diet, that's why we've got you covered with nutrition as well.
To get you the body and healthy lifestyle you desire we need to provide you with high quality workouts, but just as important is how well you eat.
Wouldn't be great if you could finally get rid of those bad habits that are halting your progress?
We understand that changing your nutrition is about changing your habits, so we have the strategies that will help you overcome bad nutrition and get you in the path of eating healthy and maintaining it for the long term.
We provide you with a meal plan and delicious recipes, support and guidance with ongoing consultations to review and monitor your progress.
Better still, our meal plans are family friendly so your family will LOVE them!
Step 3 - Join Our Community
What better way to workout than in an atmosphere where everyone, staff and clients alike are supportive and friendly,
I believe that you will achieve success (anywhere) if you actually look forward to going and seeing people you like being around with, that's why have created a culture, where you will feel welcomed as soon as you step into our facility. Our clients tell us how they believe MC Fitness is THE place that makes them feel like they are part of a community
So aside from great workouts and highly effective delicious meal plans, we also provide you with the RIGHT environment for success, we have a very supportive and friendly community of clients and trainers who help each other out. No attitude, no egos, no heroes, just a community of like minded people who just want to look and feel better about themselves

I don't think it's come down to this yet, but the Lakers should brainstorm a potential "Plan B" in case this ugly business with Lonzo and Lavar Ball continues to get worse.
First off, Magic/Pelinka need to have a sit down with Lonzo and ask him if that's the way he feels. Does he want to be here? Does he want to play for Luke Walton? Let's get started there. I'm expecting he'll give his usual passive answers. ESPN covered LaMelo and Liangelo in Lithuania recently and interestingly they refrained from asking Lavar any questions about the Lakers or even Lonzo. There was a tense exchange where Lavar told the reporter, "Oh no, no, no, I know what you're going to ask." and the reporter says, "No, you don't! ... Haha, ok. Answer then." and Lavar changed the subject back to LaMelo and LiAngelo. So I think Lavar knows he made a boo boo. The onus is still up to Lonzo to man up grow up and ask his dadr to stop, because it's threatening his employment. He's supporting his family directly financially through his salary from the Lakers, and indirectly through his endorsement of his dad's company. He can always sign with Nike. And he has to remember if it doesn't work out with the Lakers, he hurts how much money other teams want to give him and at how many years for. As is, more conservative cultures like Utah, Memphis, San Antonio want nothing to do with him even if they can get him for free.
So let's have some backup plans in place in case things continue to blow up some more before the February 8 deadline. Which teams would be glad to have Lonzo Ball and that also would give us the most value back in return for him?
1. Dallas Mavericks
Mark Cuban has always had a penchant for big names. Harrison Barnes. Monta Ellis. Made a serious bid for DeAndre Jordan, nearly pulled it off. Would probably still want him. After our Finals loss to the Pistons Mark Cuban was interested in both Kobe or Shaq. Dallas in general has a penchant for great players/star power that come with baggage. What could we get in return from Dallas?
Seth Curry + 2018 1st round pick + 2018 2nd round pick
Lonzo Ball + 2018 2nd round pick
We get a player that helps us now, a draft pick we are lacking for the upcoming draft AND we move up in the 2nd round for the draft.
The Mavericks would stamp out this Lavar Ball non-sense real quick in a way the Lakers wouldnt. Lonzo: Tell your dad to stop or you will get an extension offer that comes with the provision banning you from wearing any BBB apparel while employed with the Mavericks AND your dad is banned from attending the games. And if it continues to get out of control, you don't get any ticket comps to the games. And your film crew for your Facebook documentary is not welcome to any of the games or facilities as a start.
2. Atlanta Hawks
Their worse than us, what do they have to lose?
Dennis Schroder + 2nd round pick
Lonzo Ball
Kent Bazemore + 1st round pick
Lonzo Ball

Emma Otheguy, author of Martí's Song for Freedom/Martí y sus versos por la libertad.The Northeast chapter of REFORMA (National Association to Promote Library & Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish Speaking) had their second annual Spanish-language Book Buzz on Friday, January 12, at the Penguin Random House offices in New York City. A group of approximately 50 librarians from the tri-state area were treated to a preview of upcoming and recently released Spanish-language, bilingual, and Latinx-focused books for the library market. The day was also marked by keynotes from historian and children's author Emma Otheguy, author of SLJ Best Book Martí's Song for Freedom/Martí y sus versos por la libertad (Lee & Low), and Ernesto Quiñónez, author of Bodega Dreams, which will be available in Spanish as El vendedor de sueños this August (Vintage Español). The first half of the event was dedicated to materials for children and young adults. In her opening talk, Otheguy spoke about the power of books.. "My hope is that we will follow the Latinx tradition of using children's literature as a way of pushing the world forward. We can use children's literature to remind [them] that they are not the margins; they are our hearts," said Otheguy.
Ernesto Quiñónez, author of Bodega Dreams, and REFORMA Northeast chapter president Susan Paredes.A panel of experts in the Spanish-language and bilingual books market, which included representatives from Rosen Publishing, Bilingual Publications, Lectorum, and Overdrive, and was moderated by SLJ's Shelley Diaz, discussed some recent trends and important resources for librarians. In addition to an uptick on books about mindfulness and well-being, the group found that there has also been a big call for works authentic to the Latin American experience. Each of the sponsoring publishers and distributors also discussed some of the children's and YA titles that they were excited about. See the event website for more information about the day and to download a PDF of the titles presented.
So are we.

I would like to minute to minute information on Govt.tender which follow CVC guide and GFR books.ReplyDelete
Are any books related on tendering subject for state and central Govt.
Online procurement of contract is swift. If we pause for a moment and think whether keeping constant update about tenders is possible or not, then, the answer is apparently affirmative. First of all, you need to identify whether you are looking for tender in public or private sector and thereafter, it will make your work simple. If we compare both these sectors then, the former has high prospects for you, in case, your services are being supplied. To be precise, if you happen to be a supplier, then, public sector will be appropriate for you to rely on for staying updated with the notifications on a regular basis. Since, it is viable to apply for e tender at present, you are recommended to be geared up with the standards which are designed for this internet based tendering.ReplyDelete

A cash injection of £550k has been pumped into the local out-of-hours GP service to cope with unprecedented demand over the past few months.
As well as the pressures on Craigavon's A&E Department, there has been an 18% increase in demand for out-of-hours doctors over the past five years, according to a Department of Health update on winter pressures in the Southern Trust area, which includes the Dungannon District.
The extra funding comes in the wake of harrowing patient accounts of being sent to other A&E departments after attending Craigavon's facility.
The money was spent on additional shifts and enhanced payments to local GPs for difficult to fill shifts particularly at weekends and bank holidays.
It also provided funding for recruitment of additional acute physicians to implement a new model for acute medicine in Craigavon Area Hospital.
Health Minister Jim Wells outlined the steps the Southern Trust was taking to ease the pressures.
"I understand the Southern Trust has an on-going recruitment process for both sessional and contracted GPs and is exploring the potential to recruit suitably qualified GPs from overseas.
"It has also undertaken a nurse recruitment process with 30 triage nurses and 5 advance nurse practitioners appointed to date. The advance nurse practitioners are already in post and are in process of training the 30 nurses who are gradually commencing work.
"These nurses will provide triage and resolution of calls by telephone and face to face consultations at out-of-hours bases.
"During March the Trust will be piloting a scheme which will offer a contribution to sessional GPs to help with indemnity insurance in return for a minimum commitment of 20 clinical hours per month.
The Trust is also currently seeking IT solutions to facilitate GPs in triaging calls at home and is exploring the use of remote telehealth for home consultations by a paramedic/nurse."

Help entertain children with field trips and activities geared toward learning and having fun. Volunteers will play with children and help them with their homework. You could also serve as a teaching assistant. In addition, volunteers will be free to develop and execute a small project to improve the shelter's infrastructure or facilities.
Volunteering at natural reserves
Get a firsthand look at some of Peru's main species of flora and fauna while volunteering at a natural reserve. Volunteers will take part in projects to conserve the ecosystem, help clean rivers and streams, care for trees and gardens, provide support in the design and implementation of a site museum, work as guides at the reserve, and raise public awareness about protecting endangered species, such as the Peruvian condor.
Volunteering in benefit of children with disabilities
Volunteers will learn about caring for children with disabilities and help with nutrition, education, grooming and entertainment. Patience and tenderness are required of participants in this program, as the children may be physically and emotionally sensitive. By giving your time to these children, your reward will likely be boundless love!
Volunteering with children to promote skill development
Volunteers will transmit their knowledge in order to help children develop artistic skills and express themselves through educational games, music, painting and other activities. Guitars, flutes, tambourines and other musical instruments will be used to help engage children.
Volunteering in support of public schools
Education is a fundamental human right: every child is entitled to it. It is critical to our development as individuals and as societies, and it helps pave the way to a successful and productive future. Education ends generational cycles of poverty and disease and provides a foundation for sustainable development. Volunteers have the opportunity to participate in different educational activities and initiatives with disadvantaged children of different ages. We are committed to ensuring that all children realize their potential to succeed through quality education. To that end, we focus on the most excluded and vulnerable children. Volunteer activities at Cusco public schools may be varied, including helping with educational activities, preserving internal green areas, developing small-scale projects to improve areas for studying, and teaching English, crafts, or painting.
Volunteering to support artisans in Cusco communities
This program is mainly directed toward young people and women with low incomes. It is aimed at strengthening the enterprising attitude found among many Peruvians, as well as helping them achieve success with their small businesses. This process empowers these people to become catalysts for transformation, development and inclusion. Volunteers will go to production areas and provide support to artisans and micro-business owners. Wood, clay and woven fabrics are some of the materials that you'll learn to handle while helping with daily tasks in the fields and production areas. Volunteers will have the opportunity to help communities improve their products, designs, and packaging to help increase their commercial sales.
Past volunteer service placements have included:
CENTER FOR NUTRITIONAL WELLNESS AND EARLY STIMULATION – MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA – Centro de Supervisión Nutricional y Estimulación Temprana Madre Teresa de Calcuta
The Center for Nutritional Wellness and Early Stimulation "Madre Teresa de Calcuta" helps malnourished children and children at risk of malnutrition between the ages of 6 months to 3 years. At the moment, 25 children are being served: 15 boys and 10 girls. Volunteers help children and their mothers to complete everyday chores as well as organize teaching and recreational activities. Volunteers are involved with feeding, changing, helping nurses, helping in the kitchen, organizing exercises and games, etc. Other projects that students may participate in include renovating the dining room or developing the design of the playground area.

Huillcapata School is a public school that provides primary education to 70 children with limited financial resources, whose ages range from 3 to 14 years. In the rural community of Huillcapata, international volunteers have been supporting the majority of the community's infrastructural improvement. They have conducted repairs, painted, cleaned, and upgraded the kitchen and library, as well as improved the greenhouse and facilitated the donation of compost. Furthermore, the volunteers have helped to organize activities for Christmas. Volunteers teach a basic English course for both students and their parents, along with developing cultural and recreational programming. These activities are done every Friday from 8 am to 1 pm. Volunteers at the Huillcapata School should possess a playful spirit, humor, creativity and a lot of room for love in their hearts! The site is located in a rural area 40 minutes from the city of Cusco.
JUVENILE HOME SAN JUDAS CHICA – Hogar de Niños San Judas Chica
The San Judas Chica Juvenile Home welcomes girls between the ages of 5 to 12 years old who are in state of material and moral neglect, usually referred by the courts for minors.

Volunteers help children with schoolwork and everyday chores, as well as plan recreational activities. Volunteers at this center should possess patience and a willingness to learn while working with children with special needs.

Volunteers should have a big heart to share with the children! At San Juan de Dios, there are a variety of duties supported by international volunteers, including care taking and recreational work with children, infrastructure improvement, as well as cooking, washing, and cleaning duties. Volunteers should possess patience and tenderness, as the children may be physically and/or emotionally sensitive.

Volunteers become active members of the patient care staff, motivating their recovery, helping in educational programs, organizing therapy workshops, etc. Volunteers should possess a strong personality and confidence as well as the mental strength to work with adults facing difficult recovery situations.
Things to Do
The location of Cusco – high in the Andes – makes this program attractive to any student who is interested in the geology, geography, cultures, languages, food, and history of South America. Students on the Cusco program live in the Andean highlands, but also have access to the Amazon cloud forest and basin, the Pacific coast, and the vibrant political and culinary capital of Lima (population 10 million). In addition, Cusco is the starting point of the train that takes you to Machu Picchu – one of the most visually stunning places on earth, and a memorable UNESCO World Heritage Site.
While excursions vary according to the term and weather conditions, students usually visit Incan ruins in and around Cusco, travel to the outskirts of Cusco to remote villages, tour Lima, visit Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail, and venture into the Amazon region. The program normally includes a city tour of Cusco: "Cusco and the Surrounding Ruins," where students visit the Cathedral, located next to the main plaza, then stop by the famous Koricancha or Temple of the Sun. It includes a visit to the four main ruins in the outskirts of the city, Sacsayhuaman, Puca Pucara, Q'enqo, which means "zigzag" in Quechua, and Tambomachay, commonly referred to as the "Baños del inka" or Inca Baths. Students have the opportunity to visit the "Valle Sagrado" – The Sacred Valley of the Incas, a valley in the Andes that's near the ancient sacred city of Machu Picchu. The valley is fed by rivers that descend through adjoining valleys and gorges, and contains numerous archaeological remains and villages. The area was one of the empire's main points for the extraction of natural wealth, and the best place for maize production in Peru. On route through the valley, stop at the Awanakancha, where you can watch Andean artisans demonstrate weaving and dyeing techniques. Various South American animals can also be seen here, including llamas, guanacos, vicuñas, and alpacas.
Next, you'll visit the stupendous ruins of Pisaq, a fortress that is still an enigma to archaeologists. It is a classic Inca Pucara, a huge defended area into which the entire population could retreat during a military threat. Finally, explore the major temple fortress of Ollantaytambo and the classic village below it, set out on a cliff at the lower edge of a canyon. For an overnight excursion to Machu Picchu and the thermal springs in the village of Agua Caliente, students can ride the expedition train from Poroy Station, taking a spectacular journey through changing landscapes. Upon arrival in the town of Aguas Calientes at the foot of Machu Picchu, students are guided on a three to four hour private excursion through the ruins and surrounding areas to experience the energy and atmosphere of one of the most significant and spectacular archaeological sites on the planet.
Students in Cusco may also work with program staff to arrange for independent travel to Lima and other regions of Peru. As with all travel, weather and other hindrances can affect the exact destinations of excursions. In such cases, program staff make every effort to find suitable replacement itineraries.

text: I attended the 11 annual graduation ceremonies of the Greenburgh police summer youth camp this morning. Thanks to a generous grant from the Lanza Foundation of $65,000 the Greenburgh Police Department was able to continue this program in 2009. The Lanza Foundation recently decided to continue funding the program in 2010. 100% of the costs of the program were assumed by the Lanza Foundation. The camp ran for the past seven weeks. This year 25 children graduated from the program. The children are between the ages of 12 and 17. The camp is, in essence, be a junior police academy where youngsters are placed in a setting similar to that experienced by a police recruit. The seven-week course consisted of physical training and classroom instruction in law and other related topics. Guest lecturers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, District Attorney's Office, United States Secret Service and other areas within the Criminal Justice System presented an overview of their agency's operation. Demonstrations by specialized police units and field trips to courts and other criminal justice institutions also took place. Contemporary issues such as alcohol and drug abuse swere addressed and students participated in various role-play scenarios, which illustrate the practical everyday problems faced by law enforcement officers. Campers received instruction and certification in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), First Aid and Water Rescue by police instructors. The goal of this program is to expose your son or daughter to various law enforcement careers while developing academic ability and self-esteem. Campers come away from the program with meaningful skills and a better understanding of the criminal justice system and its potential as a career. One of the graduates of the camp is currently a Greenburgh police officer. Sergeant Tim Carroll was the camp director & lead instructor. His enthusiasm and dedication to the program & children was evident during the graduation ceremonies. Police officer David Zenon also was an instructor this summer. The town is very lucky to have two very dedicated members of the police dept involved in this program. Town Board members Sonja Brown, Diana Juettner, Kevin Morgan, Francis Sheehan and I are very appreciative to the Lanza Family Foundation for their sponsorship of this program.PAUL FEINERGreenburgh Town Supervisor

Big Weekend for Assumption
Thirty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
This is a big weekend in our parish. First, we distributed over 200 Thanksgiving baskets with turkeys to families in our neighborhood yesterday through the generosity of St. Pius and Our Lady of Mercy parishes. Second, today is the awesome feast of Christ the King! Third, Cardinal Wuerl installs me today as your pastor. Last but certainly not least, my Mom is here this weekend! (I think parishioners are most exciting about that).
I've written before that it's an incredible honor to be stationed at Assumption as your pastor. Today, it becomes official as the Church presents me as pastor through the Archbishop. One of the things I will do is renew the promises I made at my ordination to the priesthood. These words were significant then but are even more so now because they are specifically related to you.
Here is one of the questions the Cardinal asks me to which I answer, "I do":
Are you resolved that you will bind yourself ever more closely to Christ the high priest who for us offered himself to the Father as a spotless victim, and that with Christ you will consecrate yourself to God for the salvation of your brothers and sisters?
Like vows in Holy Matrimony, these promises are intimidating. With the help of God, I am to be so bound to Christ the High Priest that I am consecrated ("set apart") for the salvation of your souls! His mission is now my mission here. We hear in today's Gospel for the feast of Christ the King that Christ's mission on earth was to "testify to the truth". That's what his mission was. That's what his kingdom on earth looks like. May his mission be fulfilled here, and may He make our parish into a kingdom (Rev 1). Specifically, may He help me to testify to the truth, and may you belong to the truth and hear my voice.
None of us priests are worthy or capable of this, and those of you who have gotten to know me know that it is most true in my case! But, God is good, and He knows who He has called. Someone said the other day that God has blessed us with many graces even before I was installed as pastor. These were left over from Fr. Ivany! Seriously, though, in these first few months here especially, I have tried to continue his great work of the past three years…the work that God did through him. God has blessed us indeed throughout our Jubilee Year, and the graces will hopefully continue. On top of all of this, Thursday is Thanksgiving Day! But, really, as disciples of Jesus Christ, every day should be thanksgiving (especially if we are daily Massgoers). I give thanks to Almighty God every day for my life, faith, family, vocation, and now being pastor at Assumption. I give thanks to God for each one of you, and for being not only part of this extraordinary parish family, but its father.
–Sincerely in Christ,
Fr Greg

Double negative (2)
Whenever you use a double negative or multiple negative, you risk confusing your reader. Here's an extreme example:
On October 20, Arsène Wenger (pictured), manager of the Arsenal Football Club (UK), commented on whether Jack Wilshere, a club player, was ready to start for the national team. Reuters said that Mr. Wenger said:
"If you asked me the reverse question, is he not ready to start for England, then it would be difficult to not say no." (I added the boldface.)
Critique of the example
That sentence contains four negatives and the word difficult. That's a lot for the reader to sort out.*
But that's only the first layer of the confusion. If you're interested in reading about additional layers, read "Difficulty over not saying no on not being ready," by linguistics scholar Geoffrey K. Pullum.**
The Takeaway: Although they do have legitimate uses, double negatives and multiple negatives often confuse readers. Generally avoid them.
See disclaimer.
*Mr. Wenger is French. Out of courtesy, I usually don't critique non-native speakers of English. I made an exception in Mr. Wenger's case because he is fluent and because he may have used the multiple negative deliberately, as a media-relations tactic (see the comments on Mr. Pullum's article).
**Unlike most academics, Mr. Pullum can write clearly and entertainingly. He is delightful.

As a native speaker of English, I wish I was as skillful as Mr. Wenger in this situation.ReplyDelete
Bear in mind that your excellent advice is aimed at WRITERS ... who get to choose their subject matter, and can carefully consider exactly what they want to say about it.
This is a different situation, where Mr. Wenger is asked a question, by the media, in public, that he really does not want to answer. And he doesn't. He expels a cloud of squid ink, and escapes. Masterful.

More and more writers are encountering Agile programming, and often find themselves trying to fit the content development process into an Agile development process. Because the shift to Agile is driven by the development organization, it can often be an uncomfortable fit for content developers.
Agile can be seen as the principles of Lean thinking applied to the development of software. Lean is a system of principles and practices, originally developed by Toyota, and now used across many industries. Every process, every function, and every organization that adopts Lean principles applies those principles to develop lean processes that are specific to their industry, their function, and their company.
Taking the exact procedures that make sense for software development in you company and attempting to apply them directly to content development may not create the best content development process. Creating a Lean content process that integrates well with the Agile development process may work much better than trying to force content development into an existing Agile mold.
This session will take you back to the principles of Lean thinking and Agile development and give you the opportunity to consider what a Lean content development system might look like for your organization, and how it can enable you to create more content in less time — even if your development organization is not doing Agile at all (or is doing it wrong).
Readers dive into the middle of your content using search, links, or indexes, but often find themselves lost in the middle of a long consecutive narrative. Even when the content is produced using common topic-based writing techniques, it often organized like a book, and individual topics do not work well as a starting point for the reader. On the Web, in particular, readers can come from anywhere and land anywhere. Is your content ready to receive them?
People seeking information on the Web are impatient and have many options to choose from. If your content does not work for them immediately, they will move on. Expecting them to navigate complex hierarchies to find the information they need just won't cut it with this audience. Whatever page they land on has to work for them immediately. It has to be page one.
Whether you deliver on the Web, in a help system, or on paper, we now live in a world in which every page is page one. You need to provide your readers with Every Page is Page One topics, or they quickly become someone else's readers. In this session you will learn how to write Every Page is Page One topics that work for the reader no matter how they land on them.
Mark Baker is Principle Consultant with Analecta Communications Inc., and author of Every Page is Page One: Topic-based Authoring for Technical Communication and the Web from XML Press. He has been practicing and implementing structured writing since the SGML days, and gave his first paper on topic-based authoring at SGML 95, under the title "Component Based Information Development". His previous positions include Manager of Information Engineering Methods at Nortel and Director of Communications for SGML pioneer OmniMark Technologies. He blogs on topic-based authoring at everypageispageone.com. He is also the creator of the SPFE ("spiffy") architecture for structured authoring and publishing, which is described at SPFE.info.

Having enjoyed an absolutely brilliant day exploring The Deep (read about how we got on here), we were rather intrigued by what would be in store for us when we returned later that same day to enjoy a unique and very different dining experience at the Two Rivers restaurant.
Whilst Two Rivers has its own bar area, offering a great place for meeting friends and family, the restaurant itself is actually in the aquarium area, allowing for a unique insight into the marine life after hours and also providing a rather incredible backdrop to the meal.
The atmosphere is such that it is appropriate for celebrations, family groups, casual groups of friends out for a bite to eat, and couples. This is a restaurant that is classy enough for some refined dining but also not so formal that you feel like you can't walk around between courses exploring the tanks and exhibits!
Of course, while a unique and rather amazing setting is great, service and of course food is going to be key. We decided to order two courses (main and dessert) in the knowledge that we had to drive back to Leeds with our little girl a little bit later than her normal bedtime. Whilst we waited for our main dishes to turn up, the waiting team were kind enough to ply us with enough bread to keep our little one's hunger at bay as she gazed in amazement at the sea turtle that was seemingly having a whale of a time swimming up and down the tank!
For her main, Charlotte ordered the lemon and pepper stuffed chicken breast, whilst I opted for a cod special that sounded divine and seemed to fit in nicely with our location by the coast. For our little lady, a kid's menu was available and we opted for a fish goujon meal, with the staff once again impressing by accommodating our request for the chips to be replaced with a salad.
As you can see from our images, the dishes were presented nicely with the chicken cooked to perfection and the flavour enhanced by the Parma ham and rounded off delightfully by the delicate lemon sauce. In addition, the Chantenay carrots were cooked well, meaning that they still kept their texture, and the accompanying potatoes (as with my dish) provided a well-seasoned and enjoyable side.
My cod dish managed to elevate a fish that can be very easy to make boring or cook badly into a winning one. Served with a delightful creamy sauce that didn't overpower the more delicate fish flavours, I could have eaten the dish three times over. It should also be noted that our little girl tucked in very happily to her meal!
For dessert, it was a big decision. Eventually after a long hard think Charlotte opted to order the chocolate and pecan caramel tart while I chose the hot cherry chocolate pudding. While the staff very kindly also offered to get our little lady some ice cream we decided that given the proximity to her bedtime and the fact that she hasn't quite mastered cutlery yet, we would give it a miss for her!
When they both arrived, our desserts looked sublime. My cherry chocolate pudding had a beautiful appearance to it and struck the perfect balance between sponge and sauce. The cherry wasn't sharp as under-ripe ones can be but it did offer a lovely twist on a traditional chocolate pudding and was a really enjoyable way to end my meal.
Charlotte was left even more impressed with her pudding, which not only had a mixture of textures with the peanut brittle and oozing of caramel sauce surrounding the tart but also boasted genuinely good quality pastry.
All in all, the backdrop to the dining experience was a major reason behind us accepting the offer to try out this wonderful concept of a restaurant, but the food was of such a high standard that it demands attention as a foodie haunt, no matter the distractions.
