Operational Programme : 'Centro'
Programme co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under the Convergence objective
On 9 October 2007 the European Commission approved an Operational Programme for the Centro region in Portugal for 2007-2013.
This Operational Programme comes under the Convergence objective and has a total budget of about 2.9 billion euros. The financing provided by the European Union under the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) amounts to some 1.7 billion euros, representing about 7.9% of Community aid to Portugal as part of the cohesion policy for 2007-2013.
1. Purpose and aim of the programme
The main aim of the Operational Programme is to establish conditions for growth by means of:
- establishing and promoting the region;
- boosting the skill levels of human resources;
- business innovation and competitiveness;
- making use of the region's resources and assets;
- improving the quality of the environment;
- cooperation among sectors and the construction of infrastructure to improve access, while respecting the complementarity of Community funds.
The Operational Programme for the Centro region will help to achieve one of the essential objectives of the national strategic reference framework, i.e. balanced regional development throughout the area.
2. Expected impact of the investment
The aim of the programme is to strengthen competitiveness by:
- promoting innovation and creating small enterprises, as well as establishing conditions conducive to investment in the region;
- revitalising the towns and improving living conditions such as transport and the enhancement of local areas, culture and health;
- implementing risk protection and management of the tremendous variety of natural resources.
3. Priorities
The Operational Programme is centred on six priorities:
Priority 1: Competitiveness, innovation, knowledge [about 37.6% of total investment]
The proposed investment for this priority concerns the development of the information society and actions to create and modernise enterprises.
Priority 2: Development of towns and urban systems [about 16.9% of total investment]
Investment for the restoration of local heritage in the towns and the upgrading of urban networks, together with urban mobility, will make it possible to improve the safety of inhabitants and their quality of life.
Priority 3: Strengthening and enhancing local areas [about 23.2% of total investment]
The aim of this priority is to improve goods and services in rural areas by expanding mobility and creating infrastructure for social and regional cohesion.
Priority 4: Protecting and enhancing the environment [about 11.9% of total investment]
The actions under this priority concern:
- management of water resources;
- enhancement of coastal areas;
- protection and enhancement of sensitive areas;
- waste management.
Priority 5: Governance and institutional capacity [about 8.2% of total investment]
This priority concerns the management of the programme.
Priority 6: Technical assistance [about 2.3% of total investment]
Technical assistance is planned for the implementation of the programme. The funding may be used for administration, monitoring, assessment and control.

Aboriginal educators unhappy with federal childcare reforms
FEDERAL childcare reforms due to begin in early July have angered local Aboriginal educators, who say the changes will take away the basic right to self-determination and violate cultural safety.
Under the new childcare package, Aboriginal education facilities such as Bathurst's Towri Macs will move into mainstream funding models, which educators believe is not in the best interests of the children.
Towri Macs director Courtney Glazebrook said the policy takes away self-determination as an Indigenous service and has the potential to devastate families that use the service.
Responding to the claim, federal Member for Calare Andrew Gee said while no concerns about the childcare reform package had been raised with him, his door was "always open".
He also offered to organise a meeting with the Minister for Education "so he can hear any concerns first-hand".
Ms Glazebrook welcomed that opportunity, saying the reform package potentially denies children equal access to education.
"Our children's voices are silenced in this policy and we are facing many barriers, including the violation of our cultural safety," she said.
Under the new structure, each family will be entitled to different amounts of subsided care, which may reduce the number of days the children are able to attend (depending on work or study).
Ms Glazebrook said this means some children who come to Towri Macs for three days may have to drop to one day if their parents do not meet the activity test.
"It is a basic right of all children to be able to access high quality care and education," she said.
"I feel this subsidy is creating social inequality amongst the community. If the government was serious about breaking intergenerational disempowerment and unemployment of Indigenous people, then the children must have equal early access to culturally safe learning environments in the years prior to them starting formal schooling."
As part of research into how the new funding model will affect Indigenous children, Ms Glazebrook and Paige Debenham, who also works at Towri, will travel to the Northern Territory next month to visit other Indigenous education centres and document their concerns about the childcare reforms.
"Our goal will be to have discussions about strategies to ensure their services do not get lost in the mainstream funding model," Ms Glazebrook said.
As the areas they will be visiting are among the most disadvantaged in Australia, the women are fundraising to purchase items for the children living there. Raffle tickets in an Aboriginal artwork are available at $2 a ticket from Towri. They are also seeking donations of women's hygiene products, and good quality clean clothing, which can also be left at Towri.

The next few weeks is the most wonderful time of year for many people - just maybe not for their cell phones. AVG Technologies, a leading provider of Internet and mobile security, released a new survey with some startling results.
The survey, "Lost in Transit," polled some 5,620 users around the world over the past year, and found that "35 percent of laptops and 38 percent of mobile phones are lost or stolen while in transit and that, alarmingly, 82% of lost or stolen devices are never recovered."
Given the high level of travel this time of year and the valuable data many of us store on our mobile devices, keeping them safe has never seemed more important. The last thing you want on a trip to Grandma's house is to lose your phone and worry about its return.
Using data from Lost in Transit, AVG compiled a list of tips to help keep mobile devices safe now and throughout the year. You can find the full list in the AVG press release on the Wall Street Journal: Holiday Travel is Risky Business for Mobile Devices.
Below is an excerpt, but definitely check out the rest of the article for more info!
"2. Use a password! According to Lost in Transit, 61 percent of lost smartphones are not password protected, giving thieves easy access to all of a consumer's personal information. Without exception, passwords should be mandatory operating procedure for smartphones, laptops, tablets and any other mobile device with valuable data."

Post 2, Chapter 2
Catch up! Go read Post 0
Chapter 2
Bruce activated the automatic garage opener and pulled into his apartment building, leaving behind an ever brightening earth. He pulled into his space and took the elevator to his floor. It was the perfect building for him. Once he pulled into the garage, there was only indirect or artificial light to be seen, and the interior hallways on his floor had windows only at the very ends of the halls, far from his apartment. He could stand a moment or two of light without too much trouble, so the odd door opening without warning didn't concern him much.
He walked to apartment 218; unlocked the door and went inside. Bruce really liked this apartment. It was owned by him through a corporate blind which he used to buy most of his material objects. Companies can live forever, people do not, so its tricky when a person owns something for longer than a proper lifetime. Forgetting for the moment the risks of being interviewed by Willard Scott, being 100 and looking 30 wasn't wise in a society just past the pitchfork and torches phase.
Like many older vampires, he didn't sleep in a casket or any such apparatus during the day. That was stupid and insanely difficult to explain away. Some traditions were fine to dispense with. That said, when he moved in, he did install 2 layers of thick, heavy drapes over the home depot (open 24 hours! Perfect for the undead hardware trade.) standard blinds, leaving only a faint easily avoidable penumbra of natural light around the drapes.
He dropped his keys and wallet on a bookshelf and made his way to the couch, loosening his tie while he thought about what to do next.
Finding a job wasn't vital for Bruce, as prudent saving and a knack for picking decent investments had paid off to the point where Bruce didn't worry about money. In fact, he had so much of it, it was everything he could do to keep things mellow and unnoticeable in the money department.
He liked working though, especially with the animals, and the vet jobs worked as he could find a shop with a night shift in pretty much every town. The other vet in town already had a night person, so he wouldn't be going there anytime soon. That night person wasn't undead, and Bruce expected that the undead would start having very real problems with their animal friends without him installed somewhere.
He considered starting his own office, just for the immortal, but that seemed so elitist and boring, he liked not worrying about payroll and hiring and accounting and the rest. These things weren't hard, but they were harder for someone who couldn't go out in the sun. For the 1000th time that month he considered moving somewhere like Alaska or back to oslo where he could get some very real nighttime going on, but he decided to stick around till his next change of identity.
His last ID change had been 20 years prior and he was really enjoying his last decade in this persona. He went for a full rewrite every time. This time, veterinarian, last time, doctor, the time before that he was a butcher. Before that he was mortal, a sad , lame mortal with the desire to live forever. So far, so good, he thought as he reached for the remote.
Uh oh.
"Authorities are baffled at the rise in animal attacks in the country, Sheriff John Steward had the following to say about it:
'We're honestly baffled at what animal is attacking these cats and dogs, we're considering a wolf or an especially aggressive fox.'
"When asked about the possibility of a mountain lion being responsible, he said that the last time the country had to trap a lion was almost 27 years ago, and that they hadn't ventured down into town where most of the attacks have happened since. Back to you Paul."
Bruce shut off the TV, there was definitely a new kid in town, and Bruce was beginning to get a little annoyed at his behavior. Picturing all those kids finding their pets mutilated and the needless speculation about what could be causing it made Bruce feel very territorial. This new guy clearly hadn't heard about his rule: don't feed on pets in El Dorado county. Or else.
Bruce made his way to the kitchen... he had something to eat earlier, but he felt the need for a little bit of blood, a bottle of which he had chilling in the refrigerator. The pigs blood tasted good going down, and he felt the fatigue of a long day coming on, before work the previous night he had woken up early to get some reading in and it was catching up with him.
Bruce checked the windows, dead bolted and chained the door and made his way to his bedroom, where within a few minutes he slept like a baby.
The phone's ring made its way into Bruce's dream. He was running from a crowd of people carrying sunlamps, screaming "Get him! Let's give him a tan he won't ever forget." It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't all wearing jodpurs and hunting vests. The sound of the foxhounds barking faded out as he woke up, annoyed by the phone.
Bruce picked up the receiver and said, groggily, "Hello?"
"Bruce. That you?", the voice was familiar, but Bruce was in a rough state, still coming awake, so he didn't recognize the caller.
"Yeah, who's this? Damnit. I was sleeping," Bruce fumbled for his watch which was under a magazine on his bedside table. The watch read 6 pm. Bruce must have been pretty tired to sleep so late.
"Jeeze, Bruce, you gotta feed on some humans, you're slowing down. It's Yuri, I'm in town. Can I come by?"
"Yuri? Valentine? Yeah, sure...when will you get here?"
"I don't know, probably and hour, I'm just on the other side of Sacramento."
"Okay, call me when you park, I'll come down and get you. Okay? "
Yuri Nicolas Valentine could be called a friend of Bruce's, although "comrade in experience" or "colleague" would be a better description. Bruce and Yuri were both sired the same year by the same vampire in 1926. Both were old men when they were sired and partied, and they both took great joy celebrating their newfound youth, smooth skin and strong bodies with a number of other newly immortal women.
The bacchanals of the newly immortal were something to behold, and while initially Bruce did his part, over time he slowly migrated out of that life. Yuri didn't ever get tired of the 24 hour party people branch of the intact undead, and he and Bruce had fallen out of touch with each other. They just hung with different people, took different risks.
In 2003, after the undead had managed a suitably protected web presence, Bruce had gotten an email from Yuri, who he learned was a fixture in the late night culture that was still running strong in San Francisco. In San Francisco, like in all the great cities, the undead and mortal mixed freely, even if the nature of their party mates was not clear to the mortal attendees.
Bruce didn't really approve of the direction Yuri had taken over the last 80 years, but he had given up trying to convince him to adopt a lower profile, as that wasn't in Yuri's nature. And because of that, Bruce was not expecting a call much less a visit from his old friend.
Bruce picked up the remote and turned on the TV, the tivo had revolutionized Bruce's life, making TV both accessible and convenient. A great number of the undead had adopted it. Bruce chuckled to himself considering what the Tivo marketing people would think if they knew how many of their subscribers weren't simply night shift workers but were in fact the undead. He could picture the marketing slogans, "Just because you're dead, doesn't man you have to watch infomercials," or, "Never miss another 'Buffy' again."
He selected a science fiction program he had been meaning to watch and waited for the call from Yuri that he was close. Near the end of the program, his phone rang and, pausing the TV, Bruce answered, "Hello."
"Hey Bruce, I'm pulling up, where should I park?"
"You on a bike?"
"Just pull up behind my car, I'm in space 63, near the elevator."
"Great, I'll see you in a few minutes."
Bruce watched the last few minutes of his show and pulled on his hoodie, jeans, socks and shoes, grabbed his keys and left his apartment. It was still a little bright out and the windows at the end of the hallways glowed with malevolence. Bruce took the stairs down, noting that they didn't smell like a dog had peed in them for a while, which he was happy about. He emerged into the garage right as Yuri was pulling into the garage. Yuri favored the faster motorcycles as he felt it left him the ability to run away from the police if need be, as he didn't subscribe to such mundane restrictions like speed limits and such. Yuri waved and pulled behind Bruce's Volvo, put the bikes kickstand down and pulled off his helmet. He worked the earpiece from his phone out of his ear and put locked his helmet onto his bike.
"Hey Bruce, hold on, I just gotta put the disc locks into place."
Bruce didn't have the heart to tell him how useless all his preparations were. This wasn't the city, Yuri could leave his keys in the bike and it'd still be here 24 hours later.
"Okay, you're looking well, how is San Francisco treating you?"
"Well, I have a very good time there, lots of new vampires, you should meet some of them, they're really something else, so many young people opting to become one of us, it's kind of strange, I almost want to tell them to experience their mortality first, but they just don't want to take that chance."
"And your thirst doesn't help motivate the warnings, I'd imagine."
"No, not much, I love young blood, it's like brandy, the smell alone sends me, you know?"
"I do, but I also know how risky that is, people miss the young more than the old, you know that..."
"Damn Bruce, I haven't lasted this long by being reckless with my feeding, this isn't Louisiana, you know."
"I know, but I still think all the partying is going to catch up with you some day."
"Yeah, maybe, hey, lets go inside, my face is a little hot from the ride, I really need to put more tinting film on this helmet, I think some UV is sneaking inside."
"Yeah, lets go, elevators over here..."
Bruce led Yuri to the elevator. After they entered Bruces place, Yuri went into the bathroom with his bag to peel off his leathers, with a: "Back in a second."
Shortly thereafter, he came back into the room and said to Bruce, "We gotta talk. There's a big problem."
"What? Wait, what are you talking about? Here in town? Or in San Francisco?"
"No, man, there's a problem for all of us, everywhere. Vampires are dying, the undead are dying."
"What do you mean, I haven't heard anything."
"I know man, the older immortals are trying to keep a lid on it, we don't want the people to panic and start siring mortals left and right, it would be a mess and the jig would definitely be up with regards to the whole secrecy thing."
"Wait, start over, what's going on?"

Once again, I find that I have been neglecting my diary. This is not the first time. Only the most dedicated of diarists would manage to do so for thirty odd years without a break. This is, however, the first time that I have neglected it simply because I lacked the desire to pick up a pen. My duties as steward seem to have included an awful lot of writing of late, and by the time I return to my abode, I have found myself sick of putting pen to paper. My diary deals with words rather than figures, but even so, those times I have picked up my pen, my brain tries to organise the words into columns and add them up. This is not conducive to good writing. I have heard, from Gwyn and Wren that in their time, my future, there are machines that can do the adding up, and machines that greatly speed the process of writing, far more so than the typing machines that I had seen in the offices of Haskins Shipping. Even so, I do not know if I would still have the energy to put fingers to what I seem to recall was called the keyboard.
I have not been able to spend time with Gwyn either, partly because I have been so busy, and partly because she is so tied up with sithen work of late. That might also account for the lack of energy and feeling cranky on occasions. More than one night has seen me with only a glass of rum as my night-time companion. I have no doubt that there are ladies among the villagers who would share my bed, but that is not who I am any more. Of course, this island lacks a whorehouse, but even if it did not, I doubt that I would be a patron, save as a place to drink, much as I was a regular visitor to Fiendish Pleasures while only occasionally partaking of the services available therein.
Fiendish Pleasures, and times spent there, have been on my mind these last few days, since Vedis finally made an appearance in the village, and I was able to introduce her to Maric. That was an interesting evening.
It started with Aoibheann turning up in the tavern in her rather fetching evening wear. When I remarked upon this, she said that she was only wearing it because she was still trying to get the bloodstains out of her other dress. I wasn't sure if I dared ask, but I did so anyway. I did not entirely understand all that happened, but it appears that Aerodine was bringing a special tear of some sort, which may or may not have had something to do with the Huntsman/Llwyd situation, Umbra tried to steal it, and there was a fight. Horace got involved somehow, but Galyanna was there and was able to rescue them and heal them. I don't know what happened to the tear. Somehow in the process, Lucis was able to drive Umbra out, and so has regained mastery of her own body. The intervention of Galyanna struck me as odd, as I had thought that Umbra had allied herself with the demons, but apparently, I was wrong.
Maric arrived while this tale was being related, so I brought him up to speed. Naturally he adopted a very protective stance towards Aoibheann, but more interestingly, she seemed almost equally protective of him. I wonder if this means she did accept his offer. I carried on, almost forgetting that Maric was there, suggesting that the guards be instructed that Umbra was not welcome in the village, warning that it might be inadvisable for them to attempt to detain her without assistance; I also suggested that we contact Galyanna to find out more about what went on. I stopped, realising that I was probably overstepping my bounds and apologised to Maric. He told me there was no need to apologise, since I was doing exactly what he wanted of me. He agreed with my actions, adding that Umbra was henceforth exiled from Mysthaven.
Just as we were saying this, I looked up and saw Umbra entering the tavern and running towards Aoibheann. I didn't have time to think, I just rose to my feet and commanded her to stop and hold her positions. I didn't even stop to notice that her appearance was much more like that of Lucis when I first met her than as she had appeared as Umbra. I also didn't stop to wonder if my powers still worked while I was in this strange state of living. Apparently, they do since she did indeed freeze. Maric also jumped to his feet to seize her. For a moment, I saw the anger in his eyes, but he remained apparently calm, asking the creature to speak. Oddly, Aoibheann was the first to speak in her defence, saying that the appearance was different and that this could be Lucis rather than Umbra. I maintained my command on her and ordered her to speak truthfully if she was Lucis or Umbra, explaining on the side to Maric about her dual nature.
She replied that she was Lucis, and that the shadow that had possessed her, Umbra, was now gone, partly thanks to the efforts of Aoibheann. Maric and I both demanded an explanation, Maric's demand including the warning that her life depended on her answer. She explained that Umbra was gone to nothing, completely driven out, and how it was Aoibheann's help that had enabled her to drive out her possessor. So far as I could tell, she spoke the truth. Maric seemed to think so too, as her released his hold upon her.
Any further discussion on the matter was interrupted by the Queen of Lust herself, Vedis, who entered the tavern, unusually without Galyanna in attendance. She looked much as I had known her back in London, no longer sporting the serpent body that I had seen before in the tavern in Cristof's castle. I made the appropriate formal introductions to Maric, adding that we might not necessarily need Galyanna now that her queen was here.
Vedis came in, radiating her usual sensuality, as gracious and charming as ever, giving Maric her best smile. She also seemed pleased to see me, offering me a kiss to the cheek and wrapping an arm round me. I was mildly surprised as we had never been particularly close before, but did not react. In a strange way, I trusted her, even when she started to caress me with the tentacles. Maric clearly noticed this familiarity even if he didn't react. That will take some explaining later, I am sure. His attention was more focussed on being the gracious host and reacting to the formal greetings. I then explained to Vedis that I was steward and emissary to Maric, hence my requesting a meeting to discuss more formal relations between the village and her realm. She complimented me on my position and, in passing, my change of hairstyle. That, I told her was Valene's fault, explaining about the broken hair bands. She nodded approval of that and turned her attention to the more formal business before us, making the appropriate responses to Maric's greetings.
Maric invited us all to take our ease at the table so that we might discuss matters more comfortably. I noted with mild amusement that Aoibheann got even more protective of Maric when she saw the way Vedis looked at him, sliding an almost possessive arm around him. Of course, she has less experience of Vedis than I do, so perhaps doesn't realise that she always looks like that at people. We sat down and began discussing the matter of formal relations between the village and the demon realm, plus the matter of those refugees from the previous castle who were still dwelling there. Vedis was a little curious about how long we had been here, so I gave her a very brief, potted history of things that had occurred since the castle siege. I also laid out the basic reasons we wanted to arrange some kind of treaty. Having arranged that, I had to take my leave of them as I had business elsewhere in the village. I was sure that Maric was more than capable of diplomatic discussions. After all, he's had a couple of thousand years to practice.

She stood in the doorway of a log cabin that was overgrown with
woodvine and mellow with the dull red glow of the climbing bakneesh,
with the warmth of the late summer sun falling upon her bare head.
Cummins' shout had brought her to the door when we were still half a
rifle shot down the river; a second shout, close to shore, brought her
running down toward me. In that first view that I had of her, I called
her beautiful. It was chiefly, I believe, because of her splendid hair.
John Cummins' shout of homecoming had caught her with it undone, and
she greeted us with the dark and lustrous masses of it sweeping about
her shoulders and down to her hips. That is, she greeted Cummins, for
he had been gone for nearly a month. I busied myself with the canoe for
that first half minute or so.
Then it was that I received my introduction and for the first time
touched the hand of Melisse Cummins, the Florence Nightingale of
several thousand square miles of northern wilderness. I saw, then, that
what I had at first taken for our own hothouse variety of beauty was a
different thing entirely, a type that would have disappointed many
because of its strength and firmness. Her hair was a glory, brown and
soft. No woman could have criticized its loveliness. But the flush that
I had seen in her face, flower-like at a short distance, was a tan that
was almost a man's tan. Her eyes were of a deep blue and as clear as
the sky; but in them, too, there was a strength that was not altogether
feminine. There was strength in her face, strength in the poise of her
firm neck, strength in every movement of her limbs and body. When she
spoke, it was in a voice which, like her hair, was adorable. I had
never heard a sweeter voice, and her firm mouth was all at once not
only gentle and womanly, but almost girlishly pretty.
I could understand, now, why Melisse Cummins was the heroine of a
hundred true tales of the wilderness, and I could understand as well
why there was scarcely a cabin or an Indian hut in that ten thousand
square miles of wilderness in which she had not, at one time or
another, been spoken of as "L'ange Meleese." And yet, unlike that other
"angel" of flesh and blood, Florence Nightingale, the story of Melisse
Cummins and her work will live and die with her in that little cabin
two hundred miles straight north of civilization. No, that is wrong.
For the wilderness will remember. It will remember, as it has
remembered Father Duchene and the Missioner of Lac Bain and the heroic
days of the early voyageurs. A hundred "Meleeses" will bear her memory
in name—for all who speak her name call her "Meleese," and not
The wilderness itself may never forget, as it has never forgotten
beautiful Jeanne D'Arcambal, who lived and died on the shore of the
great bay more than one hundred and sixty years ago. It will never
forget the great heart this woman has given to her "people" from the
days of girlhood; it will not forget the thousand perils she faced to
seek out the sick, the plague-stricken and the starving; in old age
there will still be those who will remember the first prayers to the
real God that she taught them in childhood; and children still to come,
in cabin, tepee and hut, will live to bless the memory of L'ange
Meleese, who made possible for them a new birthright and who in the
wild places lived to the full measure and glory of the Golden Rule.
To find Meleese Cummins and her home in the wilderness, one must
start at Le Pas as the last outpost of civilization and strike
northward through the long Pelican Lake waterways to Reindeer Lake.
Nearly forty miles up the east shore of the lake, the adventurer will
come to the mouth of the Gray Loon—narrow and silent stream that
winds under overhanging forests—and after that a two-hours'
journey in a canoe will bring one to the Cummins' cabin.
It is set in a clearing, with the thick spruce and balsam and cedar
hemming it in, and a tall ridge capped with golden birch rising behind
it. In that clearing John Cummins raises a little fruit and a few
vegetables during the summer months; but it is chiefly given up to
three or four huge plots of scarlet moose-flowers, a garden of Labrador
tea, and wild flowering plants and vines of half a dozen varieties. And
where the radiant moose-flowers grow thickest, screened from the view
of the cabin by a few cedars and balsams, are the rough wooden slabs
that mark seven graves. Six of them are the graves of
children—little ones who died deep in the wilderness and whose
tiny bodies Meleese Cummins could not leave to the savage and pitiless
loneliness of the forests, but whom she has brought together that they
might have company in what she calls her, "Little Garden of God."
Those little graves tell the story of Meleese—the woman who,
all heart and soul, has buried her own one little babe in that garden
of flowers. One of the slabs marks the grave of an Indian baby, whose
little dead body Meleese Cummins carried to her cabin in her own strong
arms from twenty miles back in the forest, when the temperature was
fifty degrees below zero. Another of them, a baby boy, a French
half-breed and his wife brought down from fifty miles up the Reindeer
and begged "L'ange Meleese" to let it rest with the others, where "it
might not be lonely and would not be frightened by the howl of the
wolves." It was a wild and half Indian mother who said that!
It was almost twenty years ago that the romance began in the lives
of John and Meleese Cummins. Meleese was then ten years old; and she
still remembers as vividly as though they were but memories of
yesterday the fears and wild tales of that one terrible winter when the
"Red Terror"—the smallpox—swept in a pitiless plague of
death throughout the northern wilderness. It was then that there came
down from the north, one bitter cold day, a ragged and half-starved
boy, whose mother and father had died of the plague in a little cabin
fifty miles away, and who from the day he staggered into the home of
Henry Janesse, became Meleese's playmate and chum. This boy was John
When Janesse moved to Fort Churchill, where Meleese might learn more
in the way of reading and writing and books than her parents could
teach her, John Cummins went with her. He went with them to Nelson
House, and from there to Split Lake, where Janesse died. From that
time, at the age of eighteen, he became the head and support of the
home. When he was twenty and Meleese eighteen, the two were married by
a missioner from Nelson House. The following autumn the young wife's
mother died, and that winter Meleese began her remarkable work among
her "people."
In their little cabin on the Gray Loon, one will hear John Cummins
say but little about himself; but there is a glow in his eyes and a
flush in his cheeks as he tells of that first day he came home from a
three-days journey over a long trap line to find his home cold and
fireless, and a note written by Meleese telling him that she had gone
with a twelve-year-old boy who had brought her word through twenty
miles of forest that his mother was dying. That first "case" was more
terrible for John Cummins than for his wife, for it turned out to be
smallpox, and for six weeks Meleese would allow him to come no nearer
than the edge of the clearing' in which the pest-ridden cabin stood.
First the mother, and then the boy, she nursed back to life, locking
the door against the two husbands, who built themselves a shack in the
edge of the forest. Half a dozen times Meleese Cummins has gone through
ordeals like that unscathed. Once it was to nurse a young Indian mother
through the dread disease, and again she went into a French trapper's
cabin where husband, wife and daughter were all sick with the malady.
At these times, when the "call" came to Meleese from a far cabin or
tepee, John Cummins would give up the duties of his trap line to
accompany her, and would pitch his tent or make him a shack close by,
where he could watch over her, hunt food for the afflicted people and
keep up the stack of needed firewood and water.
But there were times when the "calls" came during the husband's
absence, and, if they were urgent, Meleese went alone, trusting to her
own splendid strength and courage. A half-breed woman came to her one
day, in the dead of winter, from twenty miles across the lake. Her
husband had frozen one of his feet, and the "frost malady" would kill
him, she said, unless he had help. Scarcely knowing what she could do
in such a case, Meleese left a note for her husband, and on snowshoes
the two heroic women set off across the wind-swept and unsheltered
lake, with the thermometer fifty degrees below zero. It was a terrible
venture, but the two won out. When Meleese saw the frozen man, she knew
that there was but one thing to do, and with all the courage of her
splendid heart she amputated his foot. The torture of that terrible
hour no one will ever know. But when John Cummins returned to his home
and, wild with fear, followed across the lake, he scarcely recognized
the Meleese who flung herself sobbing into his arms when he found her.
For two weeks after that Meleese herself was sick. Thus, through the
course of years, it came about that it was, indeed, a stranger in the
land who had not heard her name. During the summer months Meleese's
work, in place of duty, was a pleasure. With her husband she made canoe
journeys for fifty miles about her home, hearing with her the teachings
of cleanliness, of health and of God. She was the first to hold to her
own loving breast many little children who came into their wild and
desolate inheritance of life. She was the first to teach a hundred
childish lips to say "Now I lay me down to sleep," and more than one
woman she made to see the clear and starry way to brighter life.
Far up on Reindeer Lake, close to the shore, there is a towering
"lob-stick tree"—which is a tall spruce or cedar lopped of all
its branches to the very crest, which is trimmed in the form of a
plume. A tree thus shriven and trimmed is the Cree cenotaph to one held
in almost spiritual reverence, and the tree far up on Reindeer Lake is
one of the half dozen or more "lob-sticks" dedicated to Meleese. Six
weeks Meleese and John Cummins spent in an Indian camp at this point,
and when at last the two bade their primitive friends good-bye and left
for home, the little Indian children and the women followed their canoe
along the edge of a stream and flung handfuls of flowers after
Of what Meleese Cummins and her husband know of the great outside
world, or of what they do not know, it is wisest to leave unsaid.
Details have often marred a picture. They are children of the
wilderness, born of that wilderness, bred of it, and life of it—a
beating and palpitating part of a world which few can understand. I
doubt if one or the other has ever heard of a William Shakespeare or a
Tennyson, for it has not been in my mind or desire to ask; but they do
know the human heart as it beats and throbs in a land that is
desolation and loneliness, where poetry runs not in lines and meters,
but in the bloom of the wild flower, the rush of the rapid, the thunder
of the waterfall and the murmuring of the wind in the spruce tops;
where drama exists not in the epic lines of literature, but in the hunt
cry of the wolf, the death dirges of the storms that wail down from the
Barrens, and in the strange cries that rise up out of the silent
forests, where for a half of each year life is that endless strife that
leaves behind only those whom we term the survival of the fittest.

I have tried two times to write this post.
By the time I'm halfway through it, the post reads like a bad PMI Membership brochure.
Ordinarily, I wouldn't come back to the idea, but it bothers me that an organization that has so many resources seems to be spurned by so many that join briefly just to get certified.
They grab the certification and rush toward the exits. I guess it makes sense.
- Why stay a member of an organization that can help you and your career?
There is no scarcity of resources on the PMI website that can help improve your knowledge of best practices and the latest research. The few I'm aware of are:
-PMI Publication Quizzes: Another way to earn PDUs. Each Publication Quiz is a package of one or two articles or papers on a project management related topic with a quiz. You read the articles, take the associated quiz, earn a 70% or higher grade and you can earn up to 2 PDUs. All for $15 a quiz for PMI members. For PMPs, this is a low-cost, fairly painless way to rack up some of the 60 PDUs you need to extend your certification another 3 years.
– E-Reads and Reference (on-line access to 250 books on project management, leadership, and business, etc). An on-line library where you can actually bookmark pages and print what you're reading.
– Research and Professional Publications PM Network and Project Management Journal (a peer-refereed academic and research quarterly) give you access to research and case studies on project management topics. In paper or digital format.
– E-newsletters
* Friday Facts
* EMEA, Asia-Pacific, Korea and Latin America e-links
* PMI Manage India
* PMP Passport
* PMI Knowledge Wire
- Why stay a member of an organization that offers you multiple ways to network?
- – Volunteer. Join a Special Interest Group and offer to be of service
– Join a Community of Practice: an Online community where members can network with others on wikis, watch webinars and comment on blogs related to a Project Management topic. There are at least 10 (Risk, International Development, Agile, etc) and more are planned.
– Participate locally. Join your Chapter and attend the meetings.
In this economy, networking is important, but why take advantage of the opportunity to interact with people who would know about potential job openings?
- Why stay a member when you could buy a copy of each PMI Project Management Standard and fill your bookshelf with hardcopies?
Members can gain access to digital, secured versions of each standard currently available:
– The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), 4th edition
– Risk Management
– Construction Extension to the PMBOK 3rd Ed.
– Government Extension to the PMBOK 3rd Ed.
– Earned Value Management
– Project Configuration Management
– Work Breakdown Structures
– Scheduling
Ok. You've gotten my equivalent of the lecture on why you should stay a member of PMI and I didn't even cover joining the Special Interest Groups (SIGs).
Pay the fee. Take the exam. Get your PMP. But don't leave the rest of your money on the table. Take a look around and see how PMI can help as you continue your career as a certified professional. For me, it makes sense to be a member of the organization that certified me, but I can understand your misgivings. When I joined PMI, there wasn't much worth hanging around for, but lately, it looks as if the $119 might be money well spent.
Leave a comment, send me a tweet, my id is jgodfrey.

James Wan's most interesting and artistically successful film since the original Saw goes back to basics, delivering an incredibly effective haunted house tale, with some added ghost hunter fun thrown in for good measure. Perhaps because of the infuriating Insidious films, which Wan directed either side of this similar yet superior period effort, Wan has garnered a reputation in some circles as a filmmaker who makes horror movies for "people who don't watch horror movies."
While I see little real worth in his other recent films, The Conjuring is both incredibly entertaining and consistently scary, creating a wonderfully chilling sense of mood, rather than simply relying on carefully engineering jump scares the way he does in Insidious. While the film really does nothing new, that is not to say that the film is neither good nor successful. Wan understands exactly how to build tension and wring every ounce of atmosphere out of a typically isolated and creaking old house. He also populates his film with plenty of accomplished performers, in this case cating Lily Taylor and Ron Livingston as the parents of five young daughters who move into the tormented abode, while Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga play real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.

This is the Security Council's strongest action yet in relation to Yemen's political transition. Authorizing its actions under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, the Security Council sent a very strong message to Yemeni political factions regarding their actions in relation to the transition. Though the resolution primarily aims to sanction or warn Saleh, it also sends a clear message to other political factions, like the Houthis, that if violence continues to be their main tool, they will face the same destiny as Saleh.
The resolution comes after international diplomats and Yemen's current president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, expressed concern regarding Saleh's role in hindering Yemen's transition, as the former president pushed back against the political process adopted by the international community in Yemen.
Hadi has repeatedly accused Saleh of trying to return Yemen to its pre-2011 order — a claim that is partially true. Considering other regional scenarios — like Syrian President Bashar al-Assad resisting the powerful uprising against him, and the Egyptian military reasserting control of the country — Saleh likely regrets stepping down from power.
Saleh expressed his dissatisfaction with the UN resolution, stating that it is against Yemenis and Yemen. Clearly terrified by the development, Saleh said his party was still discussing the right response and will later issue a press release.
The resolution has been controversially received in Yemen. Those opposed to Saleh — including Hadi, his allies in the Islah Party and some independent groups — have largely expressed their happiness with the resolution, seeing it as the only way to ground Saleh and anyone who stands in the way of transition. Other sides have expressed deep unhappiness, such as Saleh's allies, some religious clerics and the Houthis, stating that it puts the country under a forced international mandate and that it violates Yemen's sovereignty.
Despite all the controversy, the resolution has resonated in Yemen's political sphere and has become the topic of almost every political gathering and debate.
The resolution is crucial not just because of its content, but its timing: the second anniversary of Hadi's rise to power. According to the preliminary deal that brought him to power, Hadi was supposed to leave office about 10 days ago, or at least oversee new, competitive elections. However, Hadi's term was extended — with the backing of the international community — by the National Dialogue Conference until the transition "ends," and not according to a timeline. Hadi's legitimacy is on the brink, having exceeded his term and still holding office, and there are no signs that the government will prepare for elections any time soon. The UN resolution emphasized that Hadi's term is connected to the fulfillment of the components of the Gulf Cooperation Council deal.
More importantly, the resolution brings Hadi more power than he has ever enjoyed. In fact, it puts him in a stronger position than when he was first elected. There hasn't been a single president in Yemen's history who has enjoyed as much support locally or internationally as Hadi. His ability to translate this support into real transition in Yemen, however, has yet to be tested. The resolution ultimately leaves him as the unquestionable man in Yemen — a status that even his predecessor never enjoyed.
Ultimately, on the ground, while the sanctions committee is a critical step in Yemen's future, sanctions will not necessarily help improve or move the situation forward. Yemen's problems at the moment are much more than just spoilers. The current government's performance is incredibly poor, and it has become very unpopular. The president's steps toward progress have been too slow. In this environment, the work of spoilers is largely in taking advantage of others' mistakes. Unless the current government improves its performance, the sanctions committee will be useless and could even backfire. Saleh's ability to influence Yemen is not derived solely from his wealth or power. Rather, like many other spoilers, he is taking advantage of the public rage against the government.
Currently, Hadi and his Cabinet are making strong decisions in the realm of security reform and the economy that they have been previously unable to make. This resolution is the last magic word they can be given; there is nothing more that can be done to support them. If they seize the opportunity, then they will be — without a doubt — in a very strong place to move Yemen toward stability and peace. If they do not, Yemen's case will more than likely be declared hopeless.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. — Authorities say a Virginia police officer who was shot and wounded while trying to detain a 15-year-old boy is now "awake and talking" after undergoing two surgeries.
News outlets report that Portsmouth police spokeswoman Misty Holley released the latest update into the unidentified officer's condition Tuesday night.
Chapman said the officer was responding to a call Monday and saw the youth, whom she knew to be a runaway. When she tried to detain him, police say the boy shot her multiple times.
He was arrested later at a nearby apartment complex and was found to be still wearing the wounded officer's handcuffs.
The teen, whom Chapman did not identify because he's charged as a juvenile, is charged with attempted capital murder and other offences.

Things to Look For Before Engaging the Services Of Business Internet Provider
With the advancement in technology, businesses are embracing the use of the internet in marketing their brand. By hiring a business internet service provider, you will be able to enjoy the numerous advantages that come with it. However, with the many internet service providers in the market, choosing the right one can be quite a challenge. Before settling for an internet service provider for your business, you may need to consider the following factors to be able to get value for your money.
One of the main factors you may need to put into consideration when hiring a business internet services provider is the aspect of speed. You should consider the kind of operations carried out in your business through the use of internet connections such as email, web-surfing, and video-conferencing. The number of internet users in your business also influences the speed of the connection, hence for a fast internet connection. You should weigh your options with regards to the type of internet connection will suit your business needs before settling for one.
Before hiring an internet service provider for your business, you may also need to consider the costs involved. You should ensure that other than providing affordable prices; the services should also be of high quality. The cost and quality of internet services provided should always go hand-in-hand to be assured of value for your money.
Before enlisting the services of an internet service provider, you should also consider what its clients say about its services. To do this, you can request for a reference of its most recent clients or check its website for clients' reviews and ratings. Through its track record, you will be able to determine the period which the internet service provider of your choice has been in business and its ability to handle your project. A company that is hesitant in providing you with all the details about its services should be avoided as that is an indication of questionable reputation.
When choosing a business internet service provider, you should also consider its customer care services.

The Best Advice About Systems I've Ever Written

The inter-season is upon us, and as soon as the 1st September dawned it felt like summer had simply slunk off into the sunset.
A mere 2 weeks ago we had a late summer heatwave, and had barely worn trousers or proper shoes for 3 months. Today (5th September) I've worn my first woolly jumper of the Autumn and my thoughts have turned to the upcoming winter…
I love inter-season, for me it's 3 months to reflect and catch up on everything, both life and work admin, along with lie ins and seeing friends whose work schedules haven't synced with mine during the hotter months.
Not everyone adores the 3 quiet months between August and December in a ski resort though… Supermarkets seem to be closed more often than they are open, and most restaurants, bars and shops have their annual closure. After working 7 days weeks for most of the summer, of course the restaurant and shop owners need a holiday too, but it does beg the question, what is there to do?!
You'll need to be committed to starting from the bottom of the mountain, none of those handy chair lifts to take you to halfway up (or even the top of) your hike, but dust off those walking boots and and you will experience the mountains at perhaps their most beautiful, as Autumn brings kaleidoscope of leaf colours. Mushroom foraging is at its best too. Take any finds to a local pharmacy and they will identify edible and poisonous ones for you.
Mountain biking, like hiking, is obviously more work without a lift to take you up, but get pedalling and you will see more of the mountain and find trails off the beaten track.
Downhill biking is a bit trickier… try pedalling one of those bikes up a mountain! If you have a car get together with a car owning friend and drive one car to the top of the mountain with your bikes, ride down and then drive up to collect the other car. And repeat.
Road biking really comes into it's own in the inter-season. The roads aren't as busy and it's not as intensely hot. Just be aware that it tends to rain more in Autumn!
This is the perfect time to take up a new hobby, whether it be pottery, landscape painting, photography, knitting, netball, or even cooking, this is the time to do those things you 'never have time for'.
Finally you have time to put up those pictures and shelves that have been leant against the wall all summer!
No excuses, now is the time to knuckle down and finally master the French language. Study at home, online, or head to Alpine French School, who have various classes running all inter-season.
There are less English speakers in town too, so you are more likely to be able to have a chat in French at the weekly market, or when in the doctor's surgery, wherever it may be.
Watch TV, read books, do yoga and meditate. It's going to be a busy winter so make the most of some down time!

I have never hidden my unabashed love of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Lover Awakened is probably the book I re-read most in life, at least four times a year and Zsadist is my go to answer when asked about a book boyfriend. However, after last years The Shadows and my downright anger at the ending – WTF Ward, I read for HEA's not for me sobbing at the total unfairness – sorry tangent over, I headed into The Beast with a bit of trepidation. Praise all, J.R. Ward is back and The Beast was amazing. Rhage and Mary are my second favorite BDB couple and I loved going back into their heads. They are at a point in their relationship where the everyday has overshadowed the extraordinary and they are stuck in the average. Then a series of events introduces a new person into their existence who may have the power to change everything. In addition to Rhage and Mary's story, many subplots abounded including Layla's pregnancy, Assail's continuing journey, surprise family members, and my favorite – a super touching series of scenes with my man Z.
I really enjoyed the plot of The Beast. It further explored the lives of the vampires and humans surrounding the BDB and created many new avenues for the storyline as a whole to go down. J.R. Ward's writing was great. She finally stopped most of the annoying brand/name dropping that had become so pervasive in her writing, and allowed the emotions to rise to the top. There were a few too many hashtags in the conversations for me, but that is a small issue. The pacing was spot-on and the action was continuous. The world building was minimal as this is number 14 in the series and as such, does not really need it. The characters were mainly old friends and they built off of what we knew of them. I really enjoyed the interplay between everyone and I am intrigued by the glances we got of a few new players. Now on to the emotions. So, I cried and more than once, but there were all good tears. The emotions J. R. Ward created in The Beast were spectacular. Most would not think a paranormal romance about vampires would be a heart wrenching, life affirming, love fest and with The Beast they would be wrong.
I am always worried when I love a series and it starts creeping up in numbers that it will start losing steam and become tired and boring. The Beast is number 14 in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, but thankfully instead of dragging it down, it seemed to breath new life into the series. New emotional ties were explored, new paths were opened for the future and new additions to the fold have me anxiously awaiting next April and book 15. J.R. Ward exceeded my expectations with The Beast and I am glad she continues to expand on her world. The Beast was a one sitting, ignore everything else read for me.

MLRC Girls set new standards at Youth NationalsUpdated Tuesday June 12, 2018 by Zach Spitzer.
The Mountain Lakes Girls squad took to Lake Natoma, CA at the USrowing Youth National Championships this past weekend. They competed against the best rowers in the country, and came away with some of the best results the team has ever seen.
The pair finished in 20th, improving its placement from the time trial. The Lightweight Four improved from 18th last year to 13th this year by winning the C final, and the Varsity Four made the B final and finished 12th in a tight race, only 3 seconds off of 9th place. Really great results to build off of for next year!
Congratualtions to all boats for a fantastic weekend!

Chinese new home prices continued to push higher in April, logging the fastest annual increase in two years.
According to China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), new home prices rose by 6.2% from April 2015, an acceleration on the 4.9% pace seen in the 12 months to March.
From March prices grew by 1.2%, the twelfth consecutive increase and the fastest growth seen in years.
According to the NBS, prices increased in 46 of the 70 cities surveyed, up from 40 in March.
While price gains in larger cities continued to outperform those in other areas, there was some promising news for prices in smaller cities which rose compared to a year earlier.
"Growth in first and second-tier cities continued to accelerate, while third-tier cities reversed decline to post growth," said Liu Jianwei, a statistician at the NBS.
By individual city, the southern Chinese metropolis of Shenzhen retained the title as the hottest, and to some bubbliest, property market in the country with prices gaining 62.4% from a year earlier.
Shanghai and Beijing, China's finance and political capitals, took out second and third spots respectively with annual price gains of 28.0% and 18.3% respectively.
Though the monthly increases in Shenzhen (+2.3%) and Shanghai (+3.1%) were slower than those recorded in March — indicating that measures introduced by authorities to curb price growth may be starting to take effect — the annual rates of growth in both cities were higher than levels seen in March.
While the broad-based improvement in prices across the country may be seen by some as a welcome development, to others, the enormous price gains in larger Chinese cities are merely adding to the risk of a severe, and dangerous, correction in China's property sector in the years ahead.
Gerard Burg, senior Asia economist at the NAB, is one analyst who thinks the recent rebound is not being driven by fundamentals but rather an attempt by authorities to reinflate property prices to spur on other sectors in the economy.
"Policy changes that have relaxed purchase requirements, looser credit and the poor performance of alternative investment options have started to re-inflate the property bubble that had somewhat deflated across 2014 and 2015", said Burg in recent research note to clients.
"At a fundamental level, little has changed in China's property markets – with excess supply persisting in many locations."
Despite years of unsold housing inventory that continues to exist in smaller Chinese cities, the desire to spur on construction and industrial activity through higher house prices is working, at least for the moment.
Property investment increased 9.7% year-on-year in April while the amount of floor space sold over the same period rose to 117 million square metres, up 44% on the levels of a year earlier.
China's steel industry, plagued by severe overcapacity, is also rebounding, producing more crude steel in March than any month on record according to figures released by the China Iron and Steel Association (CISA).
If you look at China's industrial, construction or property sectors, all are humming right now.
Whether that's a good thing is another question, particularly as these are the same industries that drove Chinese economic growth in the past, and the same ones that created the imbalances that policymakers have been grappling with — at least in theory — of late.

Woodward joins DELTA BLUES.
Emmy winner Alfre Woodward has signed on for TNT's DELTA BLUES. Woodward will be playing Dwight's (Jason Lee) lieutenant. My impression is that there will be friction between the two. Alfre's career is a long and impressive one. She has won the Emmy, Golden Golden Globe, Screen Actor's Guild award as well as having been nomintated for the Oscar. Among her credits are dozens of television series (ST. ELSEWHERE, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, MY OWN WORST ENEMY, HILL STREET BLUES, L.A. LAW), some cable gems (MANDELA, MISS EVERS' BOYS) and a film career (PASSION FISH, STAR TERK: FIRST CONTACT) of over 30 years.
DB is about Dwight Hendricks (Lee), an exceptional Memphis police officer who lives with his mother (Celia Weston) and moonlights as an Elvis impersonator. It may be worth noting that the wording seems to have changed in the press releases. Up til now, Dwight was called an Elvis impresonator, but he is now called "a tribute artist." I hope to god this does not mean he will be doing various artists. I am hoping to get some clarification in the near future on this.
A few other actors have also recently come on board:
Sam Hennings as Dwight's partner Charlie White, Robin Lively as Charlene, Dwight's ex-wife whose catering company is contracted by the MPD and Leonard Earl Howze as another detective that often works with Dwight and Charlie. Hennings and Lively have made a living on television doing guest appearances in dozens of series while Howze is best known for Ice Cube's BARBERSHOP films.
At this time, TNT has only greenlighted a pilot.

Pet of the Week: PRINCESS!
Message from Rescue:
You will be hard pressed to find a more precious girl than our PRINCESS. She is the epitome of sweetness, beautiful inside and out. Princess is an ~6 year old girl that we were thrilled to welcome into the rescue and we hope to find her the amazing home she so deserves. What you will notice first about this gal is that she is very gentle and conveys a calm demeanor. Even upon first meeting, she's apt to place herself in your lap and solicit your affection and you won't be able to help yourself. Princess will just make your heart melt. She's already captured the heart of many volunteers Princess is dog selective, easy on the leash, has been great for car rides, trips to the vet, adoption outreaches, and just about anything else you throw at her. Princess would actually love a quiet home and, although she has been fostered with other dogs, she is probably best as the only pet in the home. She was recently returned to the rescue because she did not get along with the other dog in the home and would love a more quiet home. She's truly an angel and we know she'd make a great addition to your family.

A story from the "Scarborough Mercury" entitled "SCHOOLGIRLS' EXPERIENCE AT SCARBOROUGH - BELGIAN GIRL WHO KNEW"
Mr. John Place, M.I. Mech.E., of Beckenham, Kent, sends a morning paper cutting from the "Beckenham Journal" of Saturday, relating his children's experiences at the Westland's School, Scarborough, during the bombardment. It was, he says, due to the pre-arranged plans of long standing made by Miss Wood, the head mistress, that the rescue was so well carried out. The report says:
While at breakfast, they heard a rumble which at first attracted little notice; this was soon followed by a noise which was put down by the pupils as thunder, but one little Belgian girl who had gone through the horrors before, cried out in a most decided tone "No, cannon," and this was soon patent to all, for a shell hit the upper part of the house, breaking all the windows, splitting the walls, and shattering desks, blackboards, pianos, and other furniture.
The school house is provided with concrete covered cellars, into which the pupils were taken in an orderly manner, where they prepared for an exodus when it was safe to go. As soon as the firing became less intense, the roll was called, both in and out of the house, and a march to Seamer, the first station outside the town, was undertaken, where they entrained for York whence they were soon on the road to London, which was reached without further incident.

Gillian Anderson got pregnant during the first season of The X-Files, and toward the end of the season it became more and more evident. Her considerable extra bulk was very obvious as she ran toward Deep Thoat on the bridge after he was gunned down by the Crew Cut Man in "The Erlenmeyer Flask," the Season 1 finale. FOX executives wanted the part of Dana Scully to be re-cast, which Carter refused to do. The obvious thing, the easy way out, would have been for The X-Files creative team to write the pregnancy into the storyline. Considering that the "Scully has a boyfriend" angle was removed from the pilot episode figuring out who the father could have been an X-File. Maybe an alien baby would be the story line? No, that plot would be very "V," and a few years early.
But Chris Carter decided to be creative to completely conceal Gillian Anderson's pregnancy. First, The X-Files were closed and the main characters were separated. Some believe that the status of the show was unknown when the Season 1 finale was written while others believe The X-Files being closed and Mulder and Scully being separated became the plan to ease Scully out of the picture gradually. It was probably a combination of the two, that a second season was in doubt but that Chris Carter had a plan in place. At the beginning of the Season 2 opener, "Little Green Men," we are led to believe that Mulder and Scully had very little interaction since The X-Files closed, perhaps to lay down the protocol for setting up future meetings (Scully putting the picture of Samantha face down on Mulder's desk.) Part of the reason for this is that Mulder has little trust to give anymore, which is proven when he cues up the reel-to-reel to a dead spot in the audio intercepted at Arecibo, then listens to the right spot after Scully leaves. Mulder has been assigned to wiretaps investigating fraud, while Scully is teaching new cadets. Mulder is later given a new partner, Alex Krycek, which temporarily kills off any chance for a reunion with Scully, effectively keeping them separated for the remainder of Gillian Anderson's pregnancy.
Secondly, Chris Carter was creative with camera angles and props. The most obvious was the autopsy table, because not only could Gillian Anderson hide her girth behind the table itself but for an autopsy Scully would wear… (well, they're not scrubs, right? If you know what the protective clothing for an autopsy is let me know and i'll edit this.) But of course there were other options, like shooting a scene in a dark parking garage, squatting down in said dark parking garage, or squatting down picking up fish food. Then there were the camera angles themselves, the majority of them being right in Gillian Anderson's face.
Lastly, and most importantly, there was Scully's Abduction. In the 2-part "Duane Barry/Ascension" Scully is abducted and experimented upon, then returned after a one episode hiatus in "One Breath." Gillian Anderson was absent for only one episode because of an abbreviated maternity leave of only ten days. In fact, she was recovering at work, on her back and off her feet. In the short term Scully was left with branched DNA in her bloodstream and was also in a comatose state. The long term effects would create storylines for the remainder of the series; Scully's bout with cancer was first visited in "Leonard Betts" and would be a major part of Season 4, and her miracle pregnancy was revealed in the Season 7 finale "Requiem" and drove Season 8.
So, while most shows would just simply write a pregancy into a show, The X-Files team worked around it and wrote unique developments that may not have been imagined otherwise. While the first two examples of their creativity were relatively minor, Scully's abduction and subsequent return was pure genius and paid dividends for the life of the series.
