Before we dive into the practical ways the Talend Big Data and Machine Learning Sandbox can benefit your business, we want to help you install it properly.
What is the Sandbox?
Talend's Big Data and Machine Learning Sandbox is a virtual environment that utilizes Docker containers to combine the Talend Real-time Big Data Platform with some sample scenarios that are pre-built and ready-to-run.
In the links below, you will find POCs that are built on real world use cases that demonstrate how Talend, Spark, NoSQL, and real-time messaging can be easily integrated into your daily business. Whether it's batch, streaming or real-time data integration, you will begin to understand how Talend can be used to address your big data challenges and move your business into the data-driven age.
Visit the POCs:
You can now take full advantage of your Sandbox with these pre-built and ready to run sample scenarios:
|Recommendation Engine
|IoT Predictive Maintenance
|Real-time Risk Assessment
|Data Warehouse Optimization
What are the system requirements for the Sandbox?
The sandbox is packaged as a virtual machine (VM) and requires a virtual machine player.
Supported VM Players are:
- VMWare
- VMWare Fusion (For MAC users)
- VirtualBox
For the host machine, we recommend:
- At least 8-10GB of available RAM
- 50GB of available disk space
Once the player of your choice is downloaded and installed following VM player installation instructions, you will be able to download and install the Talend Big Data and Machine Learning Sandbox. Then you can walk through the sandbox demos (links above) that integrate Apache Kafka, Spark, Spark Streaming, Hadoop, and NoSQL.
How do I set up and configure the sandbox?
It is important to note that a steady and reliable internet connection is required to complete the installation and configuration of the Talend Big Data and Machine Learning Sandbox. Once you have completed the online registration and chosen the desired sandbox download file, you will receive a small Download Manager Application (.dlm). Open this application to manage the rest of the download of the sandbox. The Talend Big Data and Machine Learning Sandbox is a 6GB Open Virtualization Format Archive (.ova) file and could take some time to download depending on internet connection speeds. For this reason, the Download Manager Application can be used to pause and restart the download process.
Once you have completed the download and saved the .ova file to your local hard drive (i.e. C:/TalendSandbox), follow the instructions for Importing to VirtualBox or Importing to VMWare-based on the Virtual Machine Player and matching Sandbox file that you are using.
- Open the VirtualBox application.
- From the menu bar, select File > Import Appliance…
- Navigate to the .ova file that you downloaded. Select it and click Next.
- Accept the default Appliance Settings by clicking
- Open the VMware Player application.
- Click on "Open a Virtual Machine"
- Navigate to the .ova file that you downloaded. Select it and click Open.
- Select the Storage path for the new Virtual Machine (e.g. C:/TalendSandbox/vmware) and then click Import.
The Talend Big Data and Machine Learning Sandbox Virtual Machines come pre-configured to run with 8GB RAM and 2 CPUs. You may need to adjust these settings based on your PC's capabilities. To run the MapR examples, it is recommended to boost the VM RAM setting to 10GB or more if available.
What should I expect when I start the VM for the first time?
When you start the Talend Big Data and Machine Learning Sandbox for the first time, the virtual machine will start by loading a web landing page that tracks the Sandbox setup. This process can take 15-30 mins depending on internet connection speeds and network traffic. After a short time, you will be asked to choose a Hadoop Platform. You can choose from either Cloudera, Hortonworks or MapR. You may also choose to explore the sandbox environment without selecting a Hadoop Platform. If at some point, you decide to select a Platform or even change to a different Platform, you can access the available Platforms at any time by clicking "Choose a Hadoop Platform" in the top right of landing page.
It is important to note to be patient during the loading process and let the sandbox complete its building process. Do not open Talend Studio during the building process. Once you receive the indication that the sandbox is ready for use, you can begin working in the virtual environment.
When the sandbox is officially ready, you can access additional resources and demo content by scrolling down on the landing page. Here you will have access to demo-specific web applications that provide quick-start instructions on how to execute the demos within the sandbox. You will also have access to the Hadoop Cluster Resource Manager WebUI by accessing "Hadoop Cluster", as well as the HDFS WebUI by accessing "HDFS Browser".
With the MapR Distribution, the HDFS Browser directs you to the MapR Control System (MCS) where you can look at your volumes, data tables, and streams. To access this in Firefox, you will need to add an exception certificate.
How do I launch Talend Real-time Big Data Studio?
Now that your Sandbox is up and running you can launch the Talend Studio. To do so click on the Talend icon on the left bar of your desktop. Follow these steps the first time you run it:
- First you need to configure a connection. Click on Manage Connection and enter your email address and then click OK.
- Then you need to select the project you want to open. Depending on the Big Data Platform you have chosen you will get the following choices:
- LOCAL_DEMOS (if you declined to load a Big Data Platform)
Note: If you have downloaded multiple Big Data Platforms you will have several projects. Choose accordingly for the Big Data Platform you have selected.
- Once Talend Studio opens, you will be presented with a Welcome screen. Close the Welcome screen, and you will be presented with a pop-up to install additional packages. You need to keep the Required third-Party libraries selected and also select Optional third-party libraries and click Finish.
- Accept all 3rd party licenses that need acceptance. Click the "I accept the terms of the selected license agreement" radio button and click Accept All.
- Let the downloads complete before continuing (Be patient as the downloads can take a while).

Näsijärvi is a lake 95 metres (312 ft) above sea level, in the Pirkanmaa region of southern Finland. Näsijärvi is the biggest lake in the Tampere area at 256 square kilometres (99 sq mi) in size.[2] The city of Tampere was built along the Tammerkoski rapids, through which the lake drains into Pyhäjärvi. The water quality of the lake has improved as forest industry has decreased the amount of waste water.
There are boat cruising services on Näsijärvi. In 1929, the steamer SS Kuru suffered the most severe Finnish inland shipping disaster on Näsijärvi.
During the winter, usually during February and March, the lake is frozen in its entirety. Näsijärvi is then used for Nordic walking, cross-country skiing, and everyday pleasure walking. There is a small, rocky island upon which a lighthouse, called Siilinkari, is located; it is the most popular walking destination on the lake.
In the north Näsijärvi has a wide catchment area that includes among others the lakes Ruovesi, Kuorevesi, Keurusselkä, Tarjanne, Pihlajavesi, Toisvesi and Ähtärinjärvi.

P.O. Box 12068, State Capitol
Austin, Texas 78711
Tel. (512) 463-0112
January 30, 1997
AUSTIN - State Senator Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, and other members of the Senate Interim Committee on Managed Care and Consumer Protections today announced a package of bills to ensure accessible, quality care for Texans enrolled in managed health care plans.
"Nothing is more important to Texas families than their health," Senator Nelson said. "These bills will ensure that, as more Texans participate in managed care health plans, the quality of care they receive will not diminish."
Nelson is co-sponsoring six bills stemming from recommendations approved by the committee in its December report. Nelson authored legislation relating to patient confidentiality, access to emergency care, and utilization review. Utilization review is the process by which insurers make decisions about what care will be covered.
"When you're sick, you don't want to spend 30 minutes on the phone just to hear a data processor at a computer tell you you don't need medical treatment. When my child is gasping for breath in a pool of blood, I know it's an emergency and I'm not going to waste time calling an HMO for approval to get her to the hospital. When my mother goes in for a breast cancer screening, I don't want her to wind up with a mailbox full of silicone implant brochures," Nelson commented.
Highlights of Nelson's bill include:
- More stringent confidentiality protections for patient records;
- Including a "prudent layperson" standard in the definition of emergency care; and
- Requiring that personnel performing utilization review procedures be licensed physicians, nurses, or physician assistants.
"Managed care is an ever-expanding part of Texas health care." Nelson commented. "There are areas where the doctor-patient relationship is being eroded by third party interference. These safeguards will protect that sacred bond as managed care continues to expand in Texas."
Nelson, who is vice Chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, has also filed bills to ensure women direct access to their OB/GYNs and to guarantee 48-hour hospital stays for mothers and newborns.
Other members of the Managed Care Committee are: Senators David Sibley, R-Waco (Chair); David Cain, D-Dallas; Chris Harris, R- Arlington; and Frank Madla, D-San Antonio.
Detailed bill summaries are available.

Looking for the BEST gluten free quiche recipes? Learn all about quiche and how to make a delicious quiche for your next brunch!
Quiche was always something that I really enjoyed back when I ate gluten, but it was never something that I made. For some reason I thought that it must be difficult to make a quiche, but it turns out that I was so wrong!
With the help of a pre-made gluten-free crust, gluten free quiche is a simple to put together dish and always a crowd pleaser.
Quiche was originally a German dish, popular in a region that would eventually be taken over by the French. The German kingdom of Lothringen would later be renamed, 'Lorraine' by the French and that is why you'll often hear people refer to quiche by its formal name, quiche lorraine.
That original quiche recipe was very much not vegetarian, and involved an egg custard with smoked bacon. Later, someone thought to add onions, and then to add cheese, and now you can pretty much make quiche with anything you'd like inside of it.
The dish became popular in the United States sometime after WWII, purportedly brought to the attention of U.S. cooks by Julia Child and her French cuisine cookbooks.
Luckily for us, quiche has stuck around as a basic recipe for home cooks due to its simplicity and deliciousness. Just add a salad and you have an entire meal ready to go!
For more of the basics and history of Quiche you can read more here or here.
The basic recipe for quiche is fairly simple, and requires just a few ingredients: eggs, milk, and cheese. You'll also need your favorite savory crust.
Vegetables, herbs, and even meat substitutes can be added in hundreds of different combinations.
I love coming up with new vegetarian quiche recipes, and I've collected them all here so that they are easy to find. Pin or bookmark this page so that you can find it when you're ready to cook a quiche for your family or friends!
Vegetarian Mamma's Gluten Free Quiche Recipes:
This is the BEST zucchini quiche recipe you'll find. It includes vegan sausage, mushrooms, and goat cheese.
Learn how to take anything you find at the Farmer's Market and turn it into a delicious vegetarian quiche.
This gorgeous quiche is full of roasted red peppers and baby spinach. It's sure to impress your guests or your family!

Former Pakistani military ruler Pervez Musharraf has sped away from a court in the country's capital to avoid arrest after his bail was revoked, police have said.
Officers were deployed at the high court in Islamabad on Thursday, but Musharraf's security team rushed him out of the building and drove him away before he could be detained.
Ali Asghar, a police officer at the scene, said the court rejected bail in a case related to Musharraf's decision to suspend the constitution and declare a state of emergency in 2007.
A spokeswoman for Musharraf, Saima Ali Dada, said his legal team was considering the next move.

Last Friday, the networks banded together to present Stand Up For Cancer. During the show, there were some dubious cancer screening recommendations, including the uncritical recommendation for all men to receive PSA screening for prostate cancer:
"So, producers of 'Stand Up For Cancer', you encouraged viewers to push their Dads to get an exam for which the benefits are uncertain and the harms are known . . and Big 3 TV anchors, you not only crossed a line from journalism into advocacy, but you did so for a cause that gave some very questionable and potentially harmful advice to whoever watched the big show."
Fabulous piece in the NY Times, on the folly of the pay for performance movement. Really a must-read:
"On the surface, this seems like a good idea: reward doctors and hospitals for quality, not just quantity. But even as it gains momentum, the initiative may be having untoward consequences."

Do Christians Have Authority Over Territorial Spirits?
Do "Needless Casualties Of War" Come From Going Outside Our Realm Of Authority?
The strategic-level spiritual warfare movement grew rapidly in the 1990's. Books by authors like C. Peter Wagner and John Dawson turned people's attention to the spiritual forces at work in nations and regions. Success stories from Argentina and other places inspired many Christians to exercise Christ's dominion in their cities and regions.
Yet some Christians suffered devastating spiritual attacks after confronting demonic "principalities." In 1999 John Paul Jackson published Needless Casualties Of War. He concluded that the cause of these needless casualties was presumption. Jackson argued that God has only given the church authority in "ground-level" warfare, but not over territorial spirits or principalities. He taught that the proper way to deal with territorial spirits is repenting of anything that may have given them a "legal right," and then asking God to remove them.
I initially accepted Jackson's conclusions as a needed correction, but questions lingered in the back of my mind. After years of considering the teaching and experience of various Christian leaders, as well as my own experience, I've concluded that we do have authority over all the power of the enemy, including principalities. I believe that John Paul Jackson addressed a real problem, yet his diagnosis of that problem cannot be supported by scripture. He could have easily misinterpreted the dream he had, which is why the church needs a variety of both prophets and teachers.
I've published my findings in What Really Causes Needless Casualties Of War? This new book highlights the problems with concluding that God's people only have limited authority over Satan. It then goes on to point out some of the real reasons that people become "needless casualties." What Really Causes Needless Casualties Of War is rooted in both scripture and real-life experience.
Here are two short excerpts from the book. The first is from the introduction, explaining why this issue is important. The second excerpt highlights one of several problems with the conclusion that Christians do not have authority over territorial spirits.
(From the introduction)
Is Disagreement Dishonoring?
I've recently heard warnings surfacing again against confronting "territorial spirits." When I share that I don't fully agree with John Paul Jackson's view on the subject, some people feel I'm dishonoring him by disagreeing. Yet I urge you to hear me out and be willing to take a fresh look at this subject.
May we never put someone on such a pedestal that we equate disagreement with dishonor! Take a look at some of the Christian leaders throughout history whom you look up to the most. When you study their lives in greater detail, you'll probably find that most of them believed something you strongly disagree with. Yet we still honor them and receive from what God has done through their lives.
If John Paul Jackson has blessed you, thank God for it! Let's learn to discuss teaching without making it personal. Many people realized John Paul Jackson was right about something being wrong. Even if we don't agree with him on everything, we can honor him for perceiving a problem and speaking up contrary to the status quo of many charismatic Christians. We honor men like Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein as some of the great names in science. But we now realize that in spite of their contributions, Newton was wrong about some things Einstein got right. And even Einstein wasn't right about everything.
We as the body of Christ are "growing up in all things into Christ." The process of maturing always includes corrections along the way. We thank God for those who've gone before us. But let's let their ceiling be our floor, and may we continue to progress in our understanding! I want others to catch a renewed vision for cities and nations coming to God's light. To catch a vision for what God can do through us, we must understand the authority God has given us.
Scripture clearly teaches that God's people have authority over all of Satan's power, not just some of it! God hasn't chosen to sovereignly deal with evil spirits that influence regions and nations, apart from us. He's chosen to do it through the church! We need to know this truth if we're going to do what God has called us to do.
(From Chapter 3 Authority Over All The Power Of The Enemy, Or Only "Earthling" Demons?)
Territorial Spirits Oppressing Regions Through The Influence Of One Individual
…Here's another problem with trying to make a distinction between a "regional principality" and an "earthling evil spirit." We see multiple cases where an evil spirit exercises an oppressive influence over a region through the authority and agreement of a single evil person.
Acts 8:9-11 describes Simon the sorcerer, whose influence extended over a region. All the people of Samaria followed him and called him the "Great Power of God" because his sorcery amazed them. An evil power blinded the spiritual eyes of people in Samaria. How was it able to do so? By its partnership with a single individual who had given himself over to evil.
Are we to believe that an evil power gained influence over the entire region of Samaria through the invitation of one evil man, yet God's people didn't have the authority to rout that power of evil but could only "ask God to remove it," because it was a "principality?"
Of course, we know Phillip the evangelist did destroy the influence of that evil power and gain much ground for Christ in Samaria. Phillip didn't take Samaria by gathering an army to repent of their ancestors' sins and then asking God to remove the principalities. Neither did he take it by mounting a "spiritual warfare" attack in an attempt to "bind the strongman" and pull it out of the sky. He simply treated Satan as a defeated foe, then trampled on his power as he preached the gospel, cast out demons, and healed the sick.
Acts 13 tells us of a sorcerer named Elymas who was an attendant to the Roman proconsul (ruler). Elymas opposed Paul's teaching and tried to turn the proconsul away from Christianity, but Paul rebuked him and temporarily blinded him. When the proconsul saw this, he turned to the Lord. Although this account isn't as clear, it seems to also be an account of an evil power exercising oppressive influence over the whole region through partnership with one evil man.
We see multiple cases today which are similar to these Bible stories. One is that of a warlock named José López Rega, who first advised president Juan Perón of Argentina and then "exercised Rasputin-like authority"[1] over his wife Isabel Perón when she succeeded him as president. He's said to have cursed Argentina in 1976 when he lost power due to the military coup.
Ed Silvoso shares another warlock story in his account of evangelizing his region. He took a map and drew a circle on it to include towns within a 100-mile radius of his hometown, Rosario Argentina. 109 towns were within that radius, but no evangelical churches. Then they discovered that a Warlock named Merigildo lived in one of those towns and had twelve disciples. Christian leaders got together to pray, then went to Merigildo's headquarters and declared his power was broken. Within less than three years, 82 of those towns had an evangelical church.[2]
Don Allen shares the story of a powerful witch's conversion. She owned the town and she shut down three churches. Although her stories sounded incredible, other people in that town confirmed they were true. She was going to kill Don, but ended up encountering Jesus and coming to salvation instead. After her conversion, Don led her to go to the places where she had placed curses on the city and pronounce blessing in their place.[3]
Needless Casualties of War teaches that God has not given the church authority to confront principalities directly, and we can only repent and ask God to remove them. Yet we find multiple illustrations of principalities oppressing nations and regions through the invitation of a single evil person.
If a principality gained its influence by the invitation of a single evil person, should not a single righteous person be able to destroy its influence? Phillip the evangelist did. Does the whole church not have the authority to undo what one evil man did? That's what we are concluding if we accept the notion that God's people have no authority to confront principalities.
If that were so, those who serve the kingdom of darkness would have more authority than those who serve Jesus. But they don't. Jesus really did give us authority over "all the power of the enemy."
The Kindle version of What Really Causes Needless Casualties Of War? is only $2.99 for the first month of publication.
The Paperback is $12.99

Cheap city parking – yay!There's one big issue for me when it comes to city dining and that's the cost of car parking. Thumbs up to Il Centro for brokering a deal with Wilsons, convenors of the Eagle Street car park which gives Il Centro diners discounted parking rates. Think $5 after 5pm on weeknights (I think I paid $15 last time), $5 per day on weekends and $20 for 4 hours at lunch time. Smart thinking guys! Who's next with a good parking rate when you dine?
Oh shuck
Top marks to Shucked for their inventive breakfast menu names. Would you like a French Kiss, Beets of Bourbon or Batter the devil you know? (Eggy brioches stuffed with caramelised apple, served with bacon and a warm butterscotch sauce ($19); Red quinoa and haloumi salad with beetroot sumac relish ($16) or Ricotta hotcakes with strawberries and sweet rose mascarpone ($18)). There's even a Baby Brunch (pictured above) with dutch pancakes, yoghurt pot, fruit, juice or milk for $8 (under-fives only please).
This week's best lunch dealFifth Element Bar and Restaurant at South Bank is offering any item from their lunch menu and a glass of either wine, beer or soft drink for $15. Available from Wednesdays to Sundays between midday and 3pm. Tell them you saw it on Ed+bK!

This week I'm liking – Meat Cart
Here's an answer to meal burnout.
What's meal burnout? It's that feeling you get when someone when you stand before the fridge/freezer waiting for something to jump out and say cook me!
These handy little meat packs won't cook themselves but they will lurk in the fridge or freezer, happily cryovaked into easy to use portions.
Meatcart offers export quality portioned beef, veal, pork, lamb, chicken, seafood and sausages with home delivery to your door. All Meatcart products are delivered according to the strict food safety standards and arrive in an insulated cooler bag, which will keep the product chilled for a minimum of eight hours.
I like that the company is 100 per cent Australian owned and everything Meatcart sells being grown and produced here in Australia supporting local farmers and industries.
The meat that arrived at my door (see the photo above) was selected by Meatcart. I enjoyed the rump and lamb chops but the sausages are still waiting in the freezer for me to cook them. I wouldn't order the marinated pork loin steak again as I couldn't find a list of marinade ingredients.
Disclaimer: Ed+bK was gifted the Meatcart products.

And today you can have your cake and eat it too (virtually). Enjoy this slice of Candy Crush Cake!

Coping With a Loved One's Parkinson's Diagnosis
You've suddenly found yourself in the role of caring for someone with Parkinson's disease. Learn what you can, help when you can, and remember to tend to your own needs.
Finding out your loved one has Parkinson's disease can cause a deluge of emotions, leaving you feeling numb, disoriented, and fragmented. It can take time to come to terms with the fact that your partner, friend, or family member is going to become more and more out of touch with her own body and less and less able to control her own movements.
As a Parkinson's disease caregiver, you'll need to prepare yourself for the time when your loved one will really need physical assistance. You'll also need to be able to provide emotional support for a person who's learned that she has a chronic and progressive illness. The road ahead may look overwhelming, but you can do it if you remember to look after yourself as well as your loved one.
Parkinson's Diagnosis: Identifying Your Loved One's Needs
A Parkinson's diagnosis can shatter the emotional well-being of a newly-diagnosed patient. People often go into some form of denial after being told they have Parkinson's disease. Other emotional responses can include fear, grief, anger, and depression.
As a caregiver, you will need to provide a stable source of support for your loved one. And despite how contradictory this sounds, that means you need to take special care of yourself now too.
It's often easy when caring for someone else to put your needs aside in favor of your loved one's, but that could lead to you burning out and being unable to provide long-term care.
Parkinson's Diagnosis: Constructive Advice
Some things you can do to keep yourself healthy while caring for someone with Parkinson's disease include:
- Jotting down your thoughts. Since Parkinson's disease is a disease of loss, many of your feelings and thoughts will revolve around loss. Consider keeping a journal to stimulate your mind and help you think of creative ways to preserve quality of life for both you and your loved one.
- Educating yourself. The more you know about the disease, the more secure you'll feel about providing help.
- Finding someone you can talk to. Just as you're listening to your loved one's feelings and worries, you need someone to listen to yours. Find a friend or family member with whom you can speak openly. If there's no one available, look into joining a support group or seeking psychotherapy.
- Going on with your life. Don't stop meeting with friends or participating in hobbies or groups in lieu of your caregiver responsibilities. Doing that will set you up to feel resentful in the long run. Maintain your schedule as normally as you can. Keeping outside contacts and interests will help you to feel refreshed and energized when you return to your loved one.
Parkinson's Diagnosis: Caregiver Support
Support groups are essential for many caregivers. They provide a place to share feelings and concerns, and also a means to learn more about how to best care for a person with Parkinson's disease. To find a support group in your area, you can check with:
- Your loved one's doctor
- Local hospitals
- The phone book
- Community calendars in local newspapers and magazines
- Web sites of national organizations like the National Parkinson Foundation; the Parkinson's Disease Foundation; the American Parkinson Disease Association; and the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
Maintaining some control, finding outlets for your feelings and interests, and learning about this disease can help you face your new role as caregiver with confidence and hope.

Working with the creator of this successful reddit post, we turned it into a complete syllabus for learning Ethereum. Each section of the syllabus has a detailed summary, and also a bunch of curated resources discovered from around the web.
It can be overwhelming learning a new topic, so we created this track to give direction to new learners.
Would you recommend this product?
Hi Product Hunt! We are so grateful for everyone giving us a spot on Product Hunt. It's a platform our team uses constantly, so it's truly a blessing and a great way to start off the new year. Let me explain the vision for this syllabus, and the NoviceDock platform as a whole: It's really exciting to learn a new topic… at first. You start with the top beginner resources that hold your hand, and walk you through everything. Then the beginner tutorials slowly start to become easier and fade away. You want to move on but you're not sure in which direction to go. You don't want to end up down an un-needed rabbit hole for hours or days. That's why we built a long-term syllabus for learning Ethereum, that you can always come back to. There's a lot of information out there, and it's overwhelming especially because the amount of scams. With a home to always come back to to learn Ethereum, with hand-picked resources, you know you're getting safe and quality information. We're not your average resource list. Resources mean nothing without context, which is why this syllabus is split in to sections, where each section has a detailed summary. Thanks again! If you have any Ethereum resources, let us know and we'll add them to a section. May your new year be peaceful and prosperous :) Sincerely, Brad Mitchell
@abhisek_vyas Thanks you! I appreciate all the advice you've given us over the last few weeks :)
Love the idea for NoviceDock in general. I've long had a similar product idea, great to see that someone built it.
@taykcrane thanks Taylor, I appreciate it. We'd love to see it grow and surround it with an awesome community.
Great concept Brad and kudos.how can a beginner have access to it?

Reporting Possible Abuse
It is the absolute last thing we want to think about. Many believe that it "just couldn't happen in the Church." Unfortunately, recent times have shown us that no place is safe from incidents of physical, psychological, sexual, and even spiritual abuse to minors. Each year more and more cases of youth related abuse are reported and our Church is not excluded. While we have already discussed some guidelines for reducing the risk of abuse, we must still be clear on how we will act if we suspect a minor has been or is being abused. If you are working with young people over a period of time and don't encounter this you are either extremely blessed or perhaps in denial.
Who has to report possible abuse?
Any legal adult who is involved in the supervision of a minor and has reason to suspect that abuse might be involved.
There was a time when only people in leadership positions would report issues that they themselves could not resolve on a one to one basis. Now, state laws require that anyone involved in the supervision of a minor, whether paid, volunteer, of a position, or just helping out for the day is a "mandated reporter." Therefore it is important to bring this to people's attention when discussing their participation in an activity or event.
What do you have to report?
All adults involved in the supervision of a minor must report any signs of perceived physical, sexual, or psychological abuse. If a minor appears to be the victim of neglect, this too must be reported. Also, when people discuss abuse they usually think of an adult abusing a minor. Incidents which involve a minor abusing a minor must also be reported.
It is essential to remember that it is not the reporter's job to verify whether or not something is actually abuse. That is the job of the agency being notified. Cases where people do not report an alleged incident because they try to confirm it, are seen as incidents of neglect on the reporters part.
In short: when in doubt, report. Have copies of state child abuse report forms on hand. Contact your state agency to obtain copies.
Things to look for: (this list is not exhaustive)
- Unusual or reoccurring bruises, cuts or scraps.
- Wearing the same clothes for extended periods of time.
- Unusual and extended uncleanliness
- Exhibits an eating disorder
- Unwilling to change clothes in front of others
- Exhibits sexual knowledge beyond what is usual for his or her particular age.
- Is obsessively clean
- Uses alcohol and/or other drugs
- Inflicts injuries on him or herself
- Exhibits suicidal tendencies
- Engages in delinquent behavior such as stealing, or prostitution
- Is overly eager to please
- Seeks out inappropriate relationships with adults
- Bed wetting at older ages
- Avoids contact with adults
When Do You Report Possible Abuse?
As Soon As Possible! Whenever there is a possibility that abuse may have occurred! If there is a question, the person to whom you report will know what to do.
Where do you report to?
- Police department
- Child protection agency
- Welfare department
- Department of Social Services
- Check in your local yellow pages under "child abuse."
- The parents of the abused (if the parents are the accused, do not notify them until the safety of the child is guaranteed).
- What if you suspect abuse in a child that lives in another state but is participating in an event or activity in your state?
- Make a report in the state where you are currently and ask the agency for advice. Maintain records of who you spoke with along with the time and date of the report.
- What if your not sure if it is actually abuse?
It is NOT your job to investigate whether or not something is abuse. The agency to whom you report has trained personnel for investigating these type of matters.
Maintain Good, and Consistent Records
Reports should include, the name and home address of the child involved, the name of the accused abuser(s), the date and approximate time of the alleged incident along with a description of what took place, where it took place, and the names of anyone else who might be involved. Once you have called the appropriate agency, the name of the person and the agency to whom you reported along with the date you reported should be added to the report.
The coordinator of the event should always make a copy of the report and keep it on file. These files are to be kept in the diocesan or parish office for later reference. In all cases the diocesan bishop should be informed as soon as possible.
Working with the Abused
If a child comes up to you and tells you he or she was abused, take it seriously!
If a child is exhibiting behavior that suggests he or she might be abused, take it seriously!
While there have been some incidents of false accusations, these are in fact extremely rare! Avoid interrogating the child as if they were on trial. Questions and statements such as, "are you sure?", "maybe you misunderstood, him/her", "that can't be true!", and "you probably asked for it" are extremely insensitive and can inflict more harm upon the child.
Also, be careful not to put ideas into a potential victims head. Avoid asking questions or making statements about specific things. Again that is the job of the agency to which you report. Instead assure them that they are in a safe environment and ask him or her to simply describe what happened. As he or she procedes, then ask questions for clarification (i.e. What happened next?, Where did she touch you?, etc.).
Taking the child seriously, making the report, and allowing qualified people to verify the accusation show the abused child that they are your first concern. It also shows people who might make a false accusation that there are professionals who will weed out such accusations. It even shows future abusers that you take the safety of minors very seriously and will not hesitate to deal with a situation when it arises. Child abusers will not risk being caught in such places. Above all, we want to assure the victim that it was not their fault!
American Camping Association published a book on abuse issues titled "For Their
Sake." In the chapter on working with the abused the authors give many practical
suggestions for providing a supportive, loving, and trusting relationship. Encouraging
the victim to get professional counseling, being willing to listen, and being
prepared to be the object of a lot of negative and occasionally hostile emotions
are all ways to reinforce that it is possible to survive this type of despicable
and horrendous experience.

I was invited for a store opening of another Japanese restaurant and opens to be the 1st Philippine franchise outlet. This time, it's not the usual Japanese Restaurant that we used to visit because they offer a unique way of dinning experience.
We usually saw hot pots in the table for a shabu-shabu but for Gyu-Kaku, Hot Grill is present for you to cook your food when you visit them.
Normally people go to a restaurant to dine and eat instantly, especially today that there are lots of fast food chains that you can choose.
Personally, I don't like the idea of cooking my own food when visiting a restaurant especially when I was hungry. However, I find my self taking pleasure with the fun of grilling when I visit Gyu-Kaku. It's like a small picnic with other blogger friends who are also there and I will admit even if migraine is attacking, I have a good time with them.
They served us Pork Crispy Belly and Gyoza, and I tried the Oolong Tea with others ordered the Green Tea and Sake. I observed that Japanese restaurants customarily don't put sugar on their drinks.
Anyway, after a few minutes the ribbon cutting, Kagamiwari Ceremony or breaking the barrel as it was one of the Japanese ritual took place and followed by the store blessing. We had a quick tour around the restaurant and tossing coins for good luck was amusing.
They served us Horenso Salad and the very surprising Kimchi, and the most awaiting experience is followed.
First the crew arrange our grille with a hot coal in it. One thing I've notice with them is that, they used to shout "charcoal coming" whenever the hot charcoal is on its way and they used. Then the grill platter is ready, it consist of Wagyu Karubi, Buta Karubi, Beef Karubi, and Chicken Thigh Fillet in Basil and Sweet Tare as the barbecue sauce.
We put everything we can in the grill for them to cook while turning the controller a little high so that it will cook instantly but no, we are wrong because they said that it suppose to cook for 8-10 minutes or once the meat is not sticky on the grill then that's the time that you will turn it.
Next, we grill the Galic Prawn in Foil and the Assorted Mushroom. They also served the Ishiyaki Bibimbap (their version of rice) and I ordered soda and beer for others.
I'm very full and satisfied, and yet the deserts are delivered our table. Who will say no to Egg pudding in Brown Sugar with soybean powder on top and to Assorted Ice Cream, and mixed fruits.
I will definitely bring my family in Gyu-kaku and will recommend it to all my friends for it's another fun experience to dine in there that they must try.
Visit Gyu-kaku at W Global Center, 30th Street corner 9th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

The City of Hopewell is located between the James and Appomattox rivers in the Richmond-Petersburg metropolitan area. Accessible from I-295, which connects the major byways of I-95 and I-64, Hopewell is ideally located. The city of Richmond is easily accessible, and Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Williamsburg, and Washington DC are all within a two hour drive. It is also located only 15 miles from the Richmond International Airport.
Hopewell celebrates its long and impressive history with Civil War sites, museums, and historic manors. Its central location in Virginia established Hopewell as a site of major importance in both the colonial era and the Civil War. Hopewell is the home of the US Army Women's Museum, which celebrates the role women have played in the armed forces throughout history, as well as the Early History Museum and the Open Air Walking Museum.
The City of Hopewell is home to a variety of graceful historical estates, many of which are still open to the public. Appomattox manor, which served as a staging ground for Ulysses S Grant during the Civil War, is located in Petersburg National Battlefield, and is a beautifully restored example of an antebellum estate. Weston Manor, an 18th century plantation home, is one of the most well preserved historic homes in the nation. It is listed in the National Register of Historic places and contains three full floors of period antiques.
The City is in the process of establishing a gorgeous Town Center, complete with shopping, dining, theater, and office space. The Downtown Revitalization Plan recently won the Award of Excellence from the Virginia Downtown Development Association, and features a state of the art regional library as well as a full restoration of the Historic Beacon Theater, both of which are scheduled for completion by December of 2006. The increased modernity and convenience of these areas, in addition to the antique, collectible, and gift shops of Historic Downtown Hopewell offer a winning combination, whatever your tastes.

Wednesday, January 30, 2013
I pull on a hoodie and tiptoe out to the kitchen. It's cold. I can see my breath. I slide open the metal barn door and peek outside.
I can see the moon! I grab my camera, slip on my husband's sneakers (I'll apologize later) and head outside.
There are dew-drenched spider webs everywhere. The valley is thick with fog.
The ground is silvery and wet. It glimmers and shimmers in the sunlight.
The workers, machetes in hand, are tromping by in their rubber boots on their way to The Big House.
"Buenos dias!" I call quietly, and they singsong the greeting back to me. Suddenly, I am self-conscious of my pajamas—black leggings and long shirt—and fancy camera, so I scuttle back inside.
Coffee time! I fill my teapot with purified water and set it to boiling. While I stir the hot water into the coffee grounds and push the water through my aeropress, I heat some milk in a small saucepan. There is no half-and-half or cream here, so it's café con leche every morning.
It's time for the kids to be getting up, so I turn on lights and start clattering dishes, emptying the drainer and getting out the skillets. I chop up the potatoes that I baked last night (the hot oven helped make the house cozy) for the morning's fried potatoes and whisk a dozen eggs. There will be ketchup, too.
"Breakfast is almost ready! Get up, get dressed, make your beds, and come eat!" I holler at the children. They groan and burrow deeper into the covers. My husband joins me in urging them onward ho.
Soon Luvia will be arriving, and the day will be underway.

Once those important routines are in place, it will be smooth sailing. Thanks for sharing your adventure!ReplyDelete
Lovely, my dear.ReplyDelete
Now I'm wanting the fried potatoes recipe. Do you simply bake the potatoes in their jackets, let them cool overnight, and then cut them up the next morning?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yep, that's pretty much it. I always bake a lot more potatoes than we need. I store the extras in the fridge (or overnight on the counter), and then in the morning chop them up and put them in a hot skillet with a hearty glug of oil (in the States, butter, too), toss the potatoes around to coat them well, add lots of salt, and then let them sit for awhile to brown. Once they've browned, I turn/stir them to get them toastier. That's it! You can fancy them up with cheese, sausage, bacon, onions and peppers, hot pepper, spices, whatever...Delete
You can also freeze the cooked potatoes - cube or shred them first.Delete

No half-and-half! No half-and-half! Oh, honeybun.ReplyDelete
How idyllic!ReplyDelete
So peaceful.ReplyDelete
that first photo is stunning. I love this post.ReplyDelete

Several years ago I painted this piece. When I finished it I laughed out loud.
This drowsy gal wakes from a sun induced nap to find her children are gone. Where in the heck are they? My solution to the mystery is what really made me laugh. Sound effect: evil cackle. We all need a little laugh now and then. Do you know where they are?

Coriander Rice, Mexican Rice and a salad – complete meal
Please excuse the pictures as the lighting was bad in our office pantry and I was trying to manage clicking pictures with a messy hand, while stirring the pot literally!
For 100 people, I used about 7 kilo of rice, 15 Bunches of Coriander leaves, 2 bunches of Mint leaves, 500 gms of Green chilies, 250 gms of Whole Coriander Seeds, 100 gms of Whole peppercorns. I actually ended up using only 5 kgs of rice, and shared some of the coriander leaves with my colleague for her dish.
Serving for 4 you can use this measurement.
Coriander Rice
Ingredients Needed
Rice – 2 cups
Coriander leaves – 2 big bunches
Mint leaves – 1 cup tightly packed
Green chillies – 4 -5 medium
Whole Coriander seeds – – 2-3 tbsp
Whole Peppercorns- 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
Roasted Cashew nuts for garnishing.
Method to prepare:
Trim and wash the leaves, let it drain aside.
Wash and soak the rice for 15 mins. Once done pan cook the rice with 4 cups of water and keep it aside.
Roast both the coriander seeds and peppercorn separately and powder to a fine texture.
Grind the leaves with using very minimal water. Since you will have to get a thick paste you should not use lot of water. Sieve to ensure you don't get the fiber. Grind Green chilies separately.
Heat a pan with 3 tsp of oil, add the paste, major amount of the chili paste. Cover it with a lid and continue cooking. It takes about 10 mins, you will have to keep stirring in middle so that the bottom doesn't get burnt.
Increase the spice if you require too. Once the paste comes out real thick, remove from flame.
Mix this paste directly to the cooked rice, add the ground coriander and pepper powder. Adjust the taste with salt.
Add some cashews to the rice and mix well. Finally garnish with roasted nuts on the top.
Serve with papad.
Grinding the Green chilies separately is best as you can always add more if required.
Same goes for the coriander and peppercorn powder.
Rice has to be cooked as grains and mushy.

Arsenal sign youngster Guendouzi from Lorient
Matteo Guendouzi said he had realised a childhood dream after joining Arsenal from Lorient.
Arsenal have announced the signing of teenager Matteo Guendouzi from Lorient for an undisclosed fee.
The midfielder becomes new Gunners boss Unai Emery's fifth signing, following hot on the heels of Lucas Torreira's arrival.
Guendouzi, who was plying his trade in Ligue 2 last season, spent his youth career with Paris Saint-Germain and is a France Under-20 international.
He told his new club's official website: "Arsenal have always been the team closest to my heart and a side I've wanted to join since I was a child.
"It gives me great pride – it's incredible. I hope I can do great things here. It doesn't get any better than coming to a club like this, with so much history, like Arsenal. I'm hugely proud."
Emery has also brought in Bernd Leno, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Sokratis Papastathopoulos ahead of his maiden campaign at the Emirates Stadium helm.

Greylag recently released the excellent folk-rock single "Another," and now, rather than pairing the song with a traditional music video, they give us this new live performance clip. The video is directed by Lymay Iwasaki, and if the single had us excited for the album, this video has us excited to see the band live. Watch it below.

As many as 16 people have been arrested in connection with the lynching of two men in Karbi Anglong district of Assam, while a senior police officer has been given charge to keep a vigil on rumours in social media, the DGP said today.
Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal held a high-level meeting to review the situation and asked Director General of Police Kuladhar Saikia to prevent spread of rumours and take action against troublemakers.
At a press conference, Saikia said among those arrested, included the man who allegedly fanned the rumour on social media that child lifters have entered Assam.
While Additional Director General of Police Mukesh Agarwal is monitoring the investigation, ADGP Harmeet Singh has been given the charge to keep vigil on rumours on the social media, he said.
The DGP appealed to the people not to get swayed by rumours on social media and immediately inform the police if they came across any such post.
The police have released some telephone numbers for the people to contact them in this regard. They can also inform the nearest police station or the superintendent of police or the police headquarter in Guwahati about it, he said.
The cyberspace is very wide and requires more people to monitor it and Chief Secretary T Y Das has given a nod to bring in more people to monitor social media, the DGP said.
The chief secretary was also present at the press conference.
Asked whether forces from outside the state are spreading rumours in the run up to the publication of the second draft of the National Register of Citizens slated on June 30, Saikia said it was not possible to say anything at this stage, but the investigation would cover all angles.
He said security in vulnerable areas of the state has been intensified and special patrolling was being conducted, particularly in the weekly Sunday markets.
At the review meeting, the chief minister said those involved in the killing of the two young men should be brought to book immediately and no leniency should be shown in dealing with the case.
The DGP and the chief secretary were present at the meeting, in which Sonowal was informed of the progress made in the investigation of the killing of Nilotpal Das and Abhijeet Nath, an official release said.
Das and Nath had gone to a picnic spot in Kangthilangso in Karbi Anglong district on Friday and while returning at night their vehicle was stopped at Panjuri by a group of villagers who lynched them on the suspicion of being child lifters.
Das (29) was a sound engineer and came to Assam from Goa recently on a vacation along with his friend Nath (30), a businessman. They had gone to Karbi Anglong to visit some scenic spots.
In a video of the incident circulated on social media, the two men can be heard begging for their lives and trying to explain to the livid crowd that they were innocent but to no avail.
After the police reached the spot, the two seriously injured men were rushed to a hospital but they died on the way. Their bodies were brought to Guwahati and cremated late last night.
Saikia had last night said that for the past few days, posts on child lifters have been shared on social media which created panic among the people.

"MUM, I'm bored" is a regular refrain in homes across the region during the school holidays... and it's guaranteed to make parents cringe.
But it's a moan you won't hear from these super-active youngsters who have spent their half term running, cycling and swimming.
They are part of a group of 30 children aged between eight and 13 taking part in the city's first triathlon camp.
Organised by the city council's Selly Oak constituency, it is believed to be the first of its kind in the country as triathlon grows in popularity.
Each day the energetic children receive expert coaching in the three activities at Linden Road Baths and Cadbury's playing fields in Bournville.
Tomorrow the camp culminates with a mini competition.
It is the brainchild of Selly Oak constituency sports development officer Paul Robertshaw.
Paul, who is also head coach at Birmingham Running and Triathlon Club, said the Bournville, Brandwood, Selly Oak and Billesley wards had all subsidised the cost by allocating money from their Neighbourhood Renewal Fund budgets.
That means families have only had to pay #7.50 per child for the four-day event.
Paul said: "The camp sold out less than a week after being advertised.
"We could have taken another 10-plus children if we had a larger pool to do the swimming in. It's been brilliant and the kids have had a fantastic time.
"It's been such a success we've decided to run more in future school holidays."
The BRAT Club has recently started a junior section to encourage more youngsters to take up running, swimming and cycling.
Further details about the club and future camps are available from Paul on 0121 303 9764 or email him on http://paul_robertshaw@ birmingham.gov.uk

So you are wondering 'what are the advantages of teamwork?' Well there are lots of benefits to working in a team. Working alone has its benefits too, and it's not to say that teamwork is better than working solo. There are pros and cons to both methods.
Advantages of teamwork in the workplace and other organisations
Workplace teamwork allows everyone to feed ideas from each other. You won't have to sit down and problem solve on your own or develop a new idea for something. Even carrying out a task is much simpler and quicker when you work in a team. With more than one person contributing, you will find that, everything gets done with time to spare. As long as everyone is chipping in when needed and doing a good job, only good can come from it. If something is struggling (or can't give the same quality of input like everyone else) give them some friendly advice. Show them how you are doing it and help them do the same.
Work environments are often stressful and sometimes it helps to have a group of people available when needed. By providing support you will appreciate your colleagues and enjoy being employed a lot more. When faced with deadlines it would be useful to get extra support to help you meet your tight approaching deadline. This type of teamwork helps each individual and the organisation meet their goals.
Combined efforts of a team will give you a range of different skills and strengths at your disposal. Doing a task independently will only allow you to use your own skills, but in a team you can have more, much more. Think about it, lets imagine for a second that you are a web designer in a marketing firm. Working independently on a new clients website would mean you would have to design and code a website and contact the client when needed You would have to deal with their phone calls and find the time to make changes, test the code etc If you were working in a team, you could finish this process much quicker. One person could deal with client correspondence, another could design the website design elements (logo,images etc) while you work on the website structure.
Advantages of teamwork in childcare
Almost every childcare environment involves multitasking. You could have a hungry crying baby waiting to be fed while older children need homework help. Tackling these situations is much easier when you are in a team.

On Serving the Community
By Devisadaria Duchine-Khauli
A small, wiry guy came up to me at the Berkeley Flea Market about five years ago, and asked if I wanted to buy pirated movies. Some years later, this same guy opened up a small store. Clean and well-maintained, the store sells average things like bath soaps, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, toothpaste, clothing, shoes and socks. But what's not so average is the pirated movies for sale here.
The movies are neatly displayed on a wall and on tables. The gentleman selling the pirated movies is polite and professional. He runs his business like many great businessman—he's always willing to exchange a movie for his clients if they're unhappy with it.
Based on the nature of the business, I expected the bootlegger to tell me no when I asked for an interview, but to my surprise, he agreed. We met up at the shop, on a Friday afternoon.
Why did you start pirating movies?
I got I into bootlegging because I realized for the price of one movie ticket, a whole family could see a movie. Think about this, you have a family of four and by the time you buy movie tickets, popcorn, and drinks; you're out about $80.00, but for less than $5.00 the whole family could see a movie.
Do you do anything else besides this?
I remodel houses and work on cars. You can't just do this and think you'll make a living at it. You have to do something else. This is a side hustle to make ends meet and get my project off the ground.
How much are your movies?
I sell one movie for $2.00 or three for $5.00
How much money do you typically make in a month?
I'll pass on that question. Just put enough to pay for the lights. [laughs]
Do you give back to the community?
Yes, because people can't afford to go to movies. You could pay $20.00 or more just to see one movie. I provide a service for the community by giving them something they might not otherwise be able to afford. I don't just sell bootleg movies; I also sell other stuff in my store at a lower price than many stores.
I notice that your movies have numbers on them. What do they mean?
The numbers are how I rate the movies' qualities. Like, if a movie is clear but the audio is not as good, it might get a 7 out of 10 rating. If the movie has perfect audio and video, it will get a 10 out of 10 rating.
Where do you get your movies to sell?
From the Internet.
What do you want this audience to know about you or what would you like to convey to this audience?
I'm not just bootlegger. I've been going to school for film-making. I want to make movies for the community. Once I make movies, I don't care if people bootleg them because I know that the money will come from elsewhere, and I'm making them for the community anyway. I just want to get my movies out there.
Where do you see pirating going? I mean, will it last?
No, everything changes up. This is not here to stay. I mean, there's streaming and everything else. Technology is changing and people are not into discs as much as they used to be. I'm getting out of this soon anyway. I want to be the one to make the movies, real movies, not bootlegs. I'll keep my store front though, to continue to provide a store for the community.

Marc Ambinder Joins The Atlantic's Defense One
Marc Ambinder is joining The Atlantic's national security site — Defense One — as a senior contributor. Ambinder will retain his roles as editor-at-large of The Week and contributing editor to GQ and The Atlantic.
"Few people have such a clear understanding — and the sources to back it up — of U.S. intel, secrecy, and national security issues," said Kevin Baron, executive editor of Defense One, in a statement. "The last decade saw U.S. intelligence and the military joined at the hip in secrecy, with consequences echoing from the battlefield to the Constitution for years to come. Expect Marc to shed light on what comes next."
Defense One is expected to launch sometime this summer.

LAHORE, Oct 3 (APP): Railways Minister Khawaja Saad
Rafique said on Monday that Imran Khan was an irresponsible person who even had no political etiquettes.
Talking to the media, after inaugurating E Ticketing
System in Pakistan Railways here at Pakistan Railways Headquarters, he said, "Imran Khan is the man who does not care for circumstances, the country is passing through."
What message did he try to convey to India by speaking
against his own country during his public address at Raiwind?,
the minister questioned.
Khawaja said that people had rejected sit in and protest
policy of Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI).
He said that in 1965, there was a great opposition
against President Ayub, but when India attacked, all the
opposition parties showed great spirit of unity, but Imran
Khan, he regretted did not care for the situation.
To a question, he said that PTI was losing its popularity
and its workers were also leaving the party due to Imran
Khan's irresponsible attitude.
