Dianne Gray
In 2015, ten years after my son, Austin's long illness and death, my friends asked if I wanted to have a dinner party to honor his life. That didn't feel right to me. I wanted to do something more…something meaningful. I wanted to build a sustainable, long-lasting project that would help others while also honoring the essence of Austin himself.
So we created Austin's Kitchen Garden at Cura Orphanage.
Why? Because it's the embodiment of things he held near in his heart. First, Austin was incredibly compassionate toward those who suffered, especially children. He was also genuinely curious about Africa, its people and creatures. Like a lot of kids, he loved to dig, planting & working in the yard/garden whenever he/we could.
In the Garden's second year, we've seen amazing growth —both literally and figuratively. And now we need your help to ensure that the Garden not only provides a bountiful harvest to feed the children at Cura Orphanage, but also plays a crucial role in the community by training future farmers.
Giving & loving others is at of the core of our family. We believe that education is important and learning can be experiential, curriculum-based AND fun! And we know that healthy food grows healthy bodies and sound minds.
In closing, thank you. First, for helping the kids of Cura Orphanage build healthy bodies and sound minds …and second, for helping me honor the extraordinary life of my (our) Austin.
Sending love, Dianne (@diannebgray)

A case report in Biological Psychiatry about use of D-serine to treat a child's rare genetic disorder was retracted after it was discovered that the patient received a different amino acid instead, Retraction Watch reports.
D-serine was used in the lab as a proof-of-concept, but a communication error led the child to be treated with L-serine instead. The paper said "the patient remarkably improved communication, social, and motor skills."
It was unclear when or how the authors learned about the mistake.

I'm an only child – as if that wasn't painfully obvious by the fact that I write (and I use that term loosely here) a completely me! me! me! blog. But I have a point here. Stay with me.
There are many great things about being an only child but there was always one thing that kept me up at night. The fact that I had to get married if I wanted to have nieces and nephews. Not only did I have to get married, but I needed to marry someone with lots of siblings so that my chance of getting a niece instead of a stinky nephew was better. I don't lie when I say it kept me up at night. And then I would eventually get tired of obsessing over finding a man with 15 siblings so I would fling myself off the bed, being sure to bang a body part on the nightstand so that I had something to go whine to my parents about.
Well all my obsessing finally paid off and my husband's brother and his girlfriend recently welcomed a baby girl into their family! A girl! A girl to buy clothes for! Granted, she lives in Virginia but still! A girl!!
I was throwing together a package for her last week when I realized it was time for Secret Recipe Club. I got one of my alltime favorite, favorite, FAVORITE bloggers this month: Amber from Bluebonnets and Brownies. Know why I worship her? Because she has an entire series of recipes using Fritos. Plus she's just all-around awesome.
I had planned on making her Peach & Southern Comfort Jam because I'm dying to can something this summer but once I started putting together the package for my niece (!!) I decided to make some cookies for her parents. I used Amber's Levain Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe and they turned out perfectly. I've never actually tried the Levain cookies so I can't tell you how similar they are but I can tell you that they are fantastic and received a great review from my brother-in-law. I especially loved the walnuts – I always forget how much I love nuts in CC cookies. I need to remember to always include them!
Two years ago: Brown Sugar Bacon Waffles
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, chilled
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 cup 60% bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup toasted walnuts chopped
Sift together the flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and corn starch in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Cut the chilled butter into 1 inch pieces. Put the white and brown sugars in a stand mixer bowl or large mixing bowl and mix until well combined and no lumps remain. Add cold cubed butter and continue to mix at medium speed. Add eggs, one at a time; continue mixing until well combined.
Add flour mixture to sugar mixture in increments until just incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts by hand.
Refridgerate cookie dough overnight.
Preheat oven to 375F.
Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, place dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. For trays with 6 dough balls, bake about 14-15 minutes, 12 minutes for trays with less dough balls. As is the Levain style, the cookies should be removed from the oven when they look slightly underdone,

Concrete Sealer is a new generation single component water based acrylic cross linking emulsion designed to protect and enhance concrete surfaces whilst providing many advantages over conventional sealers. It can be used over sound solvent based acrylic coatings which until now had to be totally stripped from the surface prior to application of a water based coating.
Residential driveways, patios, warehouses and light industrial building will benefit from applying concrete sealer
Concrete Sealer is excellent for interior application with no solvent fumes and does not have the flammable hazards of conventional solvent based products.
By applying 2 coats of Sealer, a colour enhancement not usually seen with water based sealers gives an attractive lift especially to coloured concrete surfaces.
- Excellent for Interior and Exterior use
- Water based, easy to use
- No solvent funes or flammable hazards
- Low VOC
- Can be sprayed, brushed or applied by roller

As reported by Football Italia, reports continue to circulate in the Italian press that Antonio Conte is prepared to walk away from Chelsea this summer, despite winning the Premier League title in his debut season at Stamford Bridge.
Football Italia believe that Conte is demanding Chelsea strengthen his squad in preparation of life in the Champions League, but the club's hierarchy are failing to deliver in the transfer market. The Italian outlet believe that Chelsea are also angry with Conte, after he told striker Diego Costa he was no longer wanted at the club through a text message.
According to Football Italia, Paris Saint-Germain could be set to offer Conte an escape route. It is reported that the Ligue 1 heavyweights would bankroll a considerable summer spend and hope that his arrival could convince midfield maestro Marco Verratti to stay put at the Parc des Princes.
The board should do everything they can to keep Conte at the club, as there is nobody available who could adequately replace him. You would have thought they've learnt from the failures of the 2015/16 campaign – but if Football Italia are to be believed, it appears as though they have not.

From the stomach-churning moment you discover your organization has lost customer records or employee details, to the moment regulators are breathing down your neck for answers, suffering a data breach is by no means pleasant, but the way you respond will have a profound effect on the future of your business.
With 60% of breached small organizations closing within six months and 93% of organizations that lost their data center for ten days or more filing for bankruptcy (Source: National Archives & Records Administration), it's time to face facts. How you would deal with your first data breach?
Below are five essential steps to surviving your first data breach:
- Hit the ground running
Speed is of the essence, so it is essential to act as soon as you can. A breached organization that acts quickly is looked on favorably by regulators, as well as the media and its customers.
- Gather evidence
It is critical to discover exactly what has been leaked – which customers have been affected, by whom, and when. You need to gather as much information as possible (usually by deploying forensic security professionals). If your network is a crime scene, it needs to be treated as such.
- Disclose and inform
Once the seriousness of your breach has been established, your next step is to notify interested parties. Even though you'll want to keep the breach as quiet as possible, there's no doubt that customers and other important stakeholders need to be aware. Plus, it's better if it comes from you rather than reading it on the front page of the New York Times.
- Keep your customers onside
Understandably, your customers will be worried about what the data loss means to them, so sharing as much information as possible as well as positive routes to remediation will help.
It's common practice to offer a credit monitoring service, and some customers will also want reimbursement for having to go to the trouble of replacing their driver's license and other forms of ID.
- Formulate a media strategy
If your breach is going to be outed to the media, it's best if it's on your terms. Appoint someone in your team to liaise with the media, otherwise journalists will go to their second and third sources, which may be people you don't want to hear talking.
Keeping the media and public posted is critical to external perception of the way the crisis is being handled.
Learn how to survive a data breach >>
These five steps were taken from Stewart Mitchell's pocket guide, 'How to Survive a Data Breach', which provides an essential guide for CEOs and directors who would like to have a tried and tested procedure in place for dealing with data breaches. The pocket guide is available in softcover, eBook, ePub, and Kindle formats.

Attention 401(k) Plan Sponsors: It is more important than ever to regularly review and evaluate your plan's investment funds
May 22, 2015
Legal Update
In a unanimous decision issued on May 18th, the United States Supreme Court held that employers have a continuing fiduciary duty to monitor the investment alternatives offered under the retirement plans they sponsor. The case, Tibble v. Edison International, involved a 401(k) plan, but applies equally to any qualified retirement plan with participant-directed investments.
Participants in the Edison International 401(k) Plan sued the Plan sponsor alleging that the Plan could have offered the same mutual funds available under the Plan using less expensive share classes, which would have reduced the expenses paid from the participants' accounts. Plan participants claimed that Edison International breached its fiduciary duty under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) with respect to the investment options offered under the Plan. Both the lower court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the participants' claims related to investment funds selected in 1999 because the lawsuit was brought in 2007, more than six years after the funds were originally selected to be offered under the Plan. The courts held that ERISA's six-year statute of limitations for fiduciary breach claims started to run when the investment funds were selected.
The U.S. Supreme Court justices were unanimous in holding that the fiduciary duty to monitor investments under an ERISA-covered plan (like a 401(k) plan) is a "continuing duty" and that participants have six years from the date of an alleged failure to monitor or remove an imprudent investment option to bring a claim. As a result of this continuing duty, the six-year limitations period does not start to run as long as the imprudent investment option is still in the plan. The ruling also provided the following specific guidelines for plan sponsors:
- Plan sponsors or an investment fiduciary they retain have a duty to select prudent investment options, and have a separate, continuing duty to monitor the investment options to ensure that they continue to be prudent options.
- The plan sponsor or investment fiduciary has a duty to remove investment options that become imprudent.
- The sponsor or investment fiduciary's continuing duty to monitor investment options requires that they have a process in place to regularly review the investment options.
The Tibble case has now been sent back to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to address the merits of the case in light of the Supreme Court's ruling. Although the Supreme Court left many issues related to this "continuing duty" to monitor investment options for other courts to address, plan sponsors are now clearly on notice that this duty exists. As a result, plan sponsors should immediately consider the following:
- If you haven't reviewed the investments offered under your retirement plan in some time you should do so now. In most plans, the employer sponsoring the plan is the fiduciary responsible for choosing investments. A plan recordkeeper may provide reports and assistance with the review, but the recordkeeper generally cannot or does not serve as a fiduciary to the plan.
- If not already in place, establish a process to regularly review the investment options offered under your 401(k) plan or other retirement plans. The establishment of a plan or benefits committee which meets regularly and is charged with this duty is an effective way to do this.
- The monitoring process should not only consider the performance of the investment options, but also the fees charged, the information and disclosures made available and any changes which have occurred with the investment fund (such as a change in the fund manager). In some cases, the plan sponsor may want to retain an independent consultant to select and monitor investments or to provide investment advice to the plan sponsor.
- If an investment option is no longer a prudent investment, the plan sponsor should remove that option and select a prudent investment alternative.
In light of the Tibble decision, plan sponsors should closely examine their oversight and responsibilities related to the investments under their retirement plans.

A developer who intends to develop a strata project will either purchase or lease the necessary land. The choice determines whether those who purchase the strata lots obtain a freehold or leasehold interest in their strata lots.
If the developer first purchases the property before creating the strata development, the developer becomes the registered owner of that property in fee simple. Fee simple means the owner exercises the greatest degree of control over the property that the law of private ownership permits.
When a developer subdivides the property by depositing a strata plan, the Registrar of Land Titles records the developer as the fee simple owner 1 of each of the newly created strata lots. The developer may then sell the fee simple title to a strata lot to a purchaser. We call this a freehold strata development because purchasers acquire fee simple title to their strata lots.
Generally speaking, when a tenant enters a lease over land, the tenant obtains exclusive possession of the property for the term of the lease.
In a leasehold strata plan, a landlord is the registered owner of a property in fee simple. A developer leases the landlord's property and then, as tenant, creates a strata development on the landlord's land. To create the development, the developer must file a strata plan, which in this case is called a leasehold strata plan. The leasehold strata plan subdivides the landlord's property into strata lots and common property. In the case of each newly created strata lot, the landlord remains the registered owner in fee simple, and the developer remains a tenant with exclusive possession of the strata lot for the balance of years remaining under the lease. Later, in the case of each strata lot, the developer sells to a purchaser an assignment of the developer's interest, as a tenant, under the lease.
Over time, that purchaser further assigns his or her interest under the lease, as tenant, to the next purchaser. These assignments continue until the term of the lease expires.
Leasehold Basics
The Strata Property Act limits leasehold development by restricting the persons who may lease their land for this purpose. In a leasehold strata development, the landlord is called the leasehold landlord. Only the following may be a leasehold landlord: 2
- the federal or provincial government,
- a municipality,
- a regional district,
- a Nisga'a Village or the Nisga'a Nation,
- a university as defined in the University Act (e.g.; the University of British Columbia)
- the Sechelt Indian Band, 3
- the Provincial Rental Housing Corporation, or
- a board under the School Act. 4
The long term landlord leases the land to the developer under a document called a ground lease. 5 The ground lease sets out the terms and conditions upon which the developer has leased the property. 6
When a developer wishes to register a strata plan over land that is subject to a ground lease, we call it a leasehold strata plan. To ensure, among other things, that the leasehold landlord is aware of the developer's intentions, the Registrar of Land Titles will not accept the developer's leasehold strata plan unless it is signed by the leasehold landlord. 7 In addition, from the date the leasehold strata plan is filed at the Land Title Office, there must be at least 50 years remaining under the term of the lease. 8
When the developer, as the long-term tenant, deposits the strata plan, several things happen. First, the Registrar of Land Titles issues new fee simple titles in the name of the leasehold landlord for each of the strata lots created. Next, the deposit of the strata plan automatically converts the ground lease into individual strata lot leases of the leasehold landlord's interests in each strata lot. The lease for each strata lot takes the form of a Model Strata Lot Lease attached to the ground lease. 9 This means that in the case of each strata lot, the leasehold landlord is the owner and the developer is the tenant under a lease whose form is shown in the Model Strata Lot Lease.
Note that a Model Strata Lot Lease must be attached to the ground lease. Anyone checking the ground lease for a leasehold strata plan in the Land Title Office may view the attached Model Strata Lot Lease.
What the Buyer of a Leasehold Strata Lot Acquires
When a developer "sells" an individual leasehold strata lot, the developer sells his or her interest as a long term tenant under the ground lease for that strata lot. When a buyer "purchases" a leasehold strata lot, he or she acquires an interest as a long term "leasehold tenant." In effect, the strata buyer takes an assignment of the developer's interest as a tenant under the strata lot lease with the leasehold landlord. Unless the ground lease requires otherwise, section 204 of the Strata Property Act dispenses with the requirement for the leasehold landlord to sign an assignment of each strata lot lease from the developer to its first buyer. When the first buyer "sells" to the second buyer, the first buyer assigns his or her interest as a tenant under the ground lease to the second buyer, and so on with each subsequent "sale."
Since the buyer purchases a leasehold interest as a tenant under a lease, he or she buys the right to occupy the strata lot for the balance of the term remaining under the lease. With each passing year, the term remaining diminishes.
By acquiring the developer's interest as a tenant in the strata lot, the buyer becomes a leasehold tenant. Although the Act uses the term "leasehold tenant," most people informally refer to the buyer as the leasehold owner or, simply, the owner. The definition of "owner" in the Strata Property Act includes a leasehold tenant of a strata lot in a leasehold strata plan. 10
If a leasehold owner rents his or her strata lot to a tenant, the person who rents the unit is technically a subtenant.
What Happens at the End of the Strata Lot Lease?
As the end of the term of a strata lot lease approaches, the leasehold landlord has several options:
- renew the lease for a strata lot,
- buy out the leasehold tenant's interest in that strata lot, or
- sell all of the leasehold strata lots to their respective tenants and, in that fashion, convert the development to a freehold strata plan.
Renewal of a Strata Lot Lease
At least one year before the term of a strata lot lease expires, section 210 of the Strata Property Act requires the landlord to advise each leasehold tenant in writing whether the landlord elects to renew the lease for the term specified in the notice. If a leasehold landlord neglects to notify a leasehold tenant in writing about the landlord's decision, the Strata Property Act requires the landlord to renew the lease for a term of five years.
If a leasehold landlord chooses to renew a strata lot lease, or the lease is automatically renewed, the renewal must be on the same terms as the current strata lot lease, except that the term and the rent may be changed. According to the Strata Property Act, in a renewal, "the rent must be that share of the current market rental value of the land included in the strata plan, excluding all buildings and improvements, apportioned to the strata lot in the proportion that the most recent assessed value of the strata lot bears to the total of the most recent assessed values of all the strata lots included in the leasehold strata plan." 11
If a leasehold landlord elects to grant renewals to fewer than two-thirds of the strata lots in the leasehold strata plan, that election is not effective unless the leasehold landlord meets certain conditions in section 212 of the Act.
Buy-Out of the Leasehold Tenant's Interest
If a landlord chooses not to renew a strata lot lease, the leasehold landlord must purchase the leasehold tenant's interest in the strata lot, as a tenant, according to section 210(5) of the Act.
If a leasehold landlord or a leasehold tenant wishes to determine the value of the tenant's interest in the strata lot, they must first check the Model Strata Lot Lease for a formula. If there is no formula in the Model Strata Lot Lease, they must look for a schedule filed with the lease-hold strata plan in the Land Title Office. If no schedule is found, the Act requires them to use the fair market value of the leasehold tenant's interest, calculated according to the regulations, as if the strata lot lease did not expire. 12 As at the date of this writing, the province has not yet passed regulations to establish a formula for this calculation. If there is no formula in the Model Strata Lot Lease, or in a related schedule, or in the regulations, the leasehold landlord and the leasehold tenant respectively should obtain legal advice about the value of the tenant's interest for the purposes of a buyout.
Alternatively, if the eligible voters by unanimous resolution consent, a leasehold landlord may change the basis for calculating the final purchase price of each leasehold owner's interest by filing an amended schedule with the leasehold strata plan. 13
Sale of Fee Simple Title to All Leasehold Strata Lots
At any time, section 216 of the Act permits a leasehold landlord to sell the fee simple title in a strata lot to its leasehold tenant, but only if the landlord similarly sells the fee simple title to every other strata lot in the leasehold strata plan to its respective leasehold tenant. After the leasehold landlord transfers the title to each of the strata lots, each strata lot lease ceases to exist and the strata plan continues as though it were never a leasehold strata plan.
This procedure converts the owners from leasehold tenants to freehold strata owners. Instead of having only an interest under a long-term lease to sell, an owner may now sell fee simple title to his or her strata lot.
Restrictions on Lease, Assignment or Occupancy
A leasehold landlord may impose restrictions on the lease, assignment or occupancy of the strata lots included in a leasehold strata plan. A restriction must be set out in a schedule of restrictions filed with the leasehold strata plan in the Land Title Office. The restrictions are binding on the strata corporation and everyone who buys a leasehold interest in any of the strata lots. 14
In some circumstances, a leasehold landlord may, on its own, or upon the request of the strata corporation, change any of the restrictions. Before the strata corporation may ask the leasehold landlord to change a restriction, it must pass a resolution to change the restriction by a 3/4 vote at an annual or special general meeting. The provincial cabinet must approve any change to restrictions imposed by a leasehold landlord, unless the leasehold landlord is the provincial government itself, in which case cabinet approval is not required. 15
If there is a change to an occupancy restriction in the schedule of restrictions, the amendment does not affect persons who were leasehold tenants immediately before the change. The amendment, however, affects persons who become leasehold tenants as a result of a sublease or assignment of the strata lot lease after the change occurs. 16
A schedule of restrictions ceases to apply if, in respect of every strata lot, the leasehold landlord sells fee simple title to the leasehold tenant, as described in "Sale of Fee Simple Title to All Leasehold Strata Lots" above. 17
Rent Review and Periodic Payment Clauses
Before buying an interest in a leasehold strata lot, the buyer should review the ground lease with a lawyer for the presence of any clause imposing a rent review or other similar liability as described below.
Generally speaking, there are two types of ground leases: those which require regular rental payments throughout the lease, and those in which the developer prepays all of the rent due under the lease.
Where a lease requires on-going payment of rent, the lease typically requires payment of annual rent. If a ground lease requires annual rent payments throughout the term of the lease, every strata lot must pay its share of the annual rent under its Model Strata Lot Lease. 18 Typically, leasehold tenants are allowed to pay the annual rent in 12 equal monthly instalments throughout the year, usually on the first day of each month.
This type of ground lease may contain a rent review clause, which allows the landlord to periodically adjust the rent. Typically, a rent review clause allows the leasehold landlord to adjust the rent every 20 years or so to reflect the property's current market value. Rent reviews usually trigger substantial increases in the rent payable.
Begusic v. Clark, Wilson & Co. 19 illustrates the importance of checking the ground lease for a rent review clause. Although the case involves a housing cooperative, its ground lease governed the payment of rent in a manner similar to that found in leasehold strata developments.
Case Study
A cooperative association leased land in North Vancouver from the landlord for a term of 66 years under a ground lease. Members of the cooperative purchased shares in the association and took, in effect, an assignment of the ground lease as it applied to their respective units. Each cooperative member was responsible for a prorated share of the monthly rent payable under the ground lease. Many of the association's members were retired persons living on fixed incomes, who joined the cooperative for its secure, affordable housing.
The ground lease contained a clause requiring a rent review every 22 years. The clause required that the rent be adjusted to an amount equal to 7.5 per cent (7.5%) of the fair market value of the land. The ground lease scheduled the first rent review for 1990.
In 1983, the buyer purchased an interest in the housing cooperative. The buyer did not know about the rent review clause in the ground lease. Nor did the buyer expect a rent increase in the future. The buyer thought her portion of the monthly rent would remain nearly constant for the 50 years or so remaining under the term of the ground lease.
In 1987, the association's members first noticed the rent review clause. Calculations established that the 1990 review would raise the cooperative's annual rent from $21,225 to approximately $375,000. The buyer's prorated monthly share of the rent in respect of her unit would increase proportionately.
The buyer was one of many members of the cooperative who sued a variety of defendants, including the developer and various real estate licensees, lawyers and notaries.
Faced with the prospect of higher land value before the next rent review, the cooperative association decided to purchase the property from the landlord. It had to raise approximately $7.925 million in mortgage financing to complete the purchase and convert the property to a strata development.
The assessment of damages was complicated. The court assessed damages as at the approximate date when members of the association first learned about the pending rent increase. Generally speaking, the court assessed the global damages at $7.925 million less various amounts. In mitigating their damages by purchasing the property, the cooperative's members converted their leasehold interests to freehold strata title, which gave them an advantage. The court took account of that advantage by subtracting 20 per cent (20%) for betterment. 20 The claimants were entitled to their respective prorated shares of the global award.
Ground Leases with Prepaid Rent
If a developer prepays the rent under the ground lease, there will not usually be a rent review clause. A prepaid lease, however, may still contain a clause requiring periodic additional payments to the landlord based upon increases in the property's fair market value. This is similar to a rent review clause to the extent that it creates a potential financial liability for the buyer in the future.
Default Under a Strata Lot Lease
If a leasehold tenant defaults under a strata lot lease, the leasehold landlord is not entitled to re-enter and take possession of the strata lot. Instead, the leasehold landlord must apply to the Supreme Court of British Columbia for an order for sale of the leasehold tenant's interest in the strata lot. 21
Generally speaking, the leasehold landlord registers a certificate of pending litigation (a "CPL", formerly called a "lis pendens" or sometimes an "L.P.") against title to the strata lot in the Land Title Office at the start of the landlord's default proceedings. A title search will reveal the CPL, which describes the court proceedings.
- The Strata Property Act, s. 1(1) defines the term owner to mean a person who is the registered owner of the fee simple interest in a strata lot in a Land Title Office or, in the case of a leasehold strata plan, a person who is registered as the leasehold tenant of the strata lot.

Thousands of Jamaicans from diverse social backgrounds gathered together at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Mona Campus Sunday morning to "Run for Dreams " as the CB Group/UWI Scholarship 5K Run is tagged. This was the seventh renewal of the event, which seeks to fund scholarships for financially challenged and deserving students.
With a blast of red confetti and a vibrant shout, the event got under way, with participation in three principal categories: 5K Run, 5K Walk, Wheelchair and the Smart Eggs 1K for minors.
Garfield Gordon, representing GC Foster College, took the top honours in the men's overall, in a time of 15.01 minutes. He was followed by two University of Technology representatives, Shane Buchanan and Thaleetio Green, clocking 15.46 and 16.05 respectively.
The women's open run went to another GC Foster representative, Kellyanne Beckford, in 19.25, ahead of Arita Martin, of Rainforest Seafood (20.26) and GC Foster's Chrisanni May.
The walkers section was won by Duwell Allen, of Nothern Caribbean University, ahead of Lenworth Hunter and O'Shea Morgan. The women's walk event went to Abnakay Swaby with Carlene Blagrove in second and Latoya Walker, third.
The Smart Eggs Kids K saw Brandon Davis and Aneita Martin Gutzmer take the honours, while Paralympians Navardo Griffiths and Sylvia Grant topped the Wheelchair section. GC Foster were named top overall team.
UWI principal, Professor Dale Webber, thanked all the participants, patrons and sponsors for making the event a success, and spoke to the importance of partnerships in sustaining and advancing the programmes of the university.
The presentation ceremony saw special citations being presented to Olympic 110 metres hurdles champion Omar McLeod and to the Jamaican Women's Football team - the Reggae Girlz who made history after becoming the first Caribbean team to qualify for the Women's World Cup, which takes place in France next year.

The Flaming Lips 'Silver Trembling Hands'
The Flaming Lips have released an incredible 12 albums to date, each often stirring an experimental edge. However it wasn't until 1999's 'The Soft Bulletin' that they squeezed out some radio friendly smashers (see 'Race For The Prize') followed by their biggest selling albums 2002's 'Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots' and 2006's 'At War With The Mystics'.
Still fronted by the least likely and nicest of rock stars Wayne Coyne, they're back with new album 'Embryonic' and 'Silver Trembling Hands,' the first taster from it, definitely sees the Oklahomans go back to their early chaotic roots. Led by a marching band of a rhythm section topped with Coyne's dark tinged vocals and a pick n mix of sounds effects, it's not the most immediate of aural delights and would sit nicely on a sci-fi soundtrack. Either way they're still one of the best live bands to ever grace a festival rig. All may or may not become clear when 'Embryonic' hits download stores on the 13 October.

(Pocket-lint) - Ghost Recon Future Soldier is back, well if you count coming in 2012 as back, with a host of new features, a stack of new weapons and a new campaign to master. It's also got Kinect support, and plenty of other treats in store. But should you wait out until March for the game or just go early with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. We go hands on at this year's E3 gaming convention in Los Angeles to find out more.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Solider
What platform is it on?
PS3, Xbox 360
When's it due out?
March 2012
What other game is it like?
Rainbox Six, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3
Does it use any new tech like 3D, PlayStation Move, or Kinect for Xbox 360?
The pitch
Created by the award-winning team behind Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, the game will feature cutting-edge technology, prototype high-tech weaponry, and state-of-the-art single-player and multiplayer modes. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will go beyond the core Ghost Recon franchise and deliver a fresh gameplay experience, with an unparalleled level of quality that will excite long-time fans and newcomers alike.
The storyline
In the role of Sergeant John Kozak, a new squad member, fight alongside 3 veteran operators in a character-focused 10h storyline. Your team takes the battle to 8 spectacular locales, from the heat and dust of Africa to the Arctic Circle.
Trailers, demoes, and videos
Our first impressions
Opting for the Xbox 360 version will, if you've got Kinect, give you extra features above and beyond the PS3 offering, but ultimately it's not a massive deal breaker. While games like Mass Effect 3 will feature the ability to order your team around in game, Ubisoft, the publishers behind the new Ghost Recon game, have opted to use the Kinect sensor in the set up parts of the game in an area it's calling Gunsmith.
Using the sensor you'll be able to fieldstrip your weapon, manage it with your hands and then use it to practice shooting. You'll also be able to bark orders at it saying that you want a gun that's good for long range for example.
That demo aside we were able to get to play a level in the game based in Nigeria, where you are tasked with finding a VIP that's been held hostage, breaking them out and then getting the hell out of dodge, so to speak.
Weapons are responsive, the game area limited - it starts to go fuzzy if you try and stray too far away, and you have to get into positions to continue through the game.
Helping you do all of that are a series of weapons - there are over 50 in the game - and drones, it is future soldier after all.
Back in our play and we've hit the village, there are screaming civilians all over the place with the guys using them as cover. It's a lot more Rainbox Six to be honest, but the pace is quick and the action fast with the added bonus of cover. However, as Ghost Recon uses the Frostbite 2 engine everything is destroyable and that means cover isn't going to offer you cover for very long, especially if you're under heavy fire.
We eventually find our VIP and then have to continue the firefight making sure he's not injured - something that we are pleased to say we managed to do.
Ghost Recon is still very much a tactical third-person shooter where you've got to manage your team to get the job done. You can go at it all gung-ho, but this tactic won't serve you well in the long run and ultimately it's going to be a lot harder. Team work is the key, as the Wonder Pets will tell you.
With campaign levels to complete and more importantly multiplayer to enjoy Ghost Recon Future Soldier doesn't bring much new to the genre, but it does look and feel polished. Polished enough that it will be a nice welcome after 6 months of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, when it comes out in March 2012.
Please note
The E3 games convention is a fantastic chance to see the latest games due out over the coming year, as well as, letting us get a glimpse into what is going to be the big titles and the ones to avoid like the plague.
The big problem however is that for most of the titles that glimpse is, well, just that. At the show you'll get to play a level here or a multiplayer map there or even have a product manager walk you through a specific level.
So with that in mind we present you with our Quick Play.
What we've done is broken down the key facts you need to know and then given you our first impressions based on around 15 minutes of gaming. For us that 15 minutes isn't enough to do a review or even a First Look review. How can you rate a game that offers over 30 hours of gaming on just 15 minutes of play? However, it should hopefully give you an idea, a feeling, a notion, of what to expect come launch day.

Despite the restaurant's calming interior, adorned with bamboo floors, waterfalls, and artwork commissioned from more than 50 Asian artisans, the RhumBar DJ's manage to energize the upstairs lounge with an eclectic mix of music. When they're not moving to the beat, patrons can sip inventive drinks like the blackberry lime Purple Rain mojito infused with lavender. Om's signature aromatherapy cocktails, which incorporate essential oils such as jasmine and lemongrass, are also available.

If it's good, they will comeNPS is a good scheme but a tough sell if the return is not guaranteed. Such products need both wide publicity as well as reasonable incentives.
Harsh Roongta
04 Jan 2010
The story is about a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) which came up with an ultimate refrigerator. With its lowest market price, standard features and much lower power consumption, it was quite a buy. The Company appointed a dealer network which was experienced in selling consumer durables of other manufacturers. Now that Company was confident of its superior product backed by good dealer network, it did not feel the need for any advertising budget and paid peanuts as compensation to its dealers. But there was no manufacturer warranty on the refrigerator.
The refrigerator was launched and now the time had come for the Company to take stock of sales after six months. The verdict was clear. Inspite of being a superior product, it was just not taking off. The customers were not even aware of the product. The dealers also made no attempt to sell the product to the customers who walked into their showrooms as they were not making any money. In fact, few customers who had read about the product in the newspapers, came asking for it were skilfully diverted to other competing products. Reason being - the dealers made more money on such competing products even though they were not as good.
Clearly the manufacturers dogma that if you make a good product consumers will come and get it had taken a beating here.
If we substitute this analogy with the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) for the the PSU refrigerator manufacturer, Banks (Point of Purchase) for the dealers, the New Pension Scheme (NPS) for the new refrigerator and lack of guaranteed returns for the absence of warranty, you have the similar result.
Let's analyse the scenario here in detail:
The high household savings rate in India has been much touted. Perhaps this drives the thought that the savers/investors have no choice but to channel a part of their savings in this otherwise excellent long term savings scheme the National Pension Scheme. However, most Individual savers in India prefer traditional savings instruments such as land, gold and bank fixed deposits. One thing common among these instruments is that it requires one time investment with no obligations on making a regular contribution over time. In fact even here the relatively newer products such as PPF, NSC etc. which are safe and provide good returns also needed support from individual sales agents to make sure that the operational difficulties in investing in these products is taken care of.
This kind of investments naturally favours the relatively better off people since they would have the lump-sum available to invest. The whole concept of systematically saving and investing something over time to fulfil a financial goal requires discipline and commitment.
Considering this NPS is a good scheme and no doubt gives excellent results but it still is a tough sell especially if the return is not guaranteed. As a result such products need both wide publicity as well as reasonable incentives for the selling. Unfortunately both are lacking in the otherwise excellent pension scheme. Thus perhaps leading to an excellent product, not ready to take off. (It is not just the current tax disadvantage that this product suffers vis--vis other savings products that is causing such low off take). Moreover the general awareness of the product itself is quite low.
Another potential future issue is the extremely low fund management charges paid to the fund managers. To give you an idea - if the fund house is managing Rs.10,000 Crores of funds, the total payout will be Rs. 9 lacs only which is not even enough to cover the salary cost of a single executive. Obviously either the managers hope to make some money in some other manner (brokerage etc. for their sister companies perhaps) or will perhaps loose interest in the business over time. Anyway this will become a problem only at a future date when the scheme becomes popular.
We hope that after the proposed tax changes take effect in 2011, we will also see changes in the selling structures and incentives for all the stakeholders in the NPS.
We wish that this unique scheme which can be a boon for Indian investors looking for long-term disciplined savings does not meet the same fate as that of mythical PSU Refrigerator manufacturer mentioned above.

To Advertise or Evangelize
January 10, 2020 by Hally Franz
Filed under Daily Devotions, Worship
By Hally Franz –
There is a lovely cinema that my family and I visit in a suburban area not far from our home. At that theater, like many others, there are ads running prior to the start of the movie. Over the course of several months, that cinema showed ads for a large, non-denominational church in the area. I don't remember the name of the church, but I do remember one stunning statement from the commercial. The advertisement invited people to attend their services, assuring them that, unlike other churches, "the people aren't weird."
I remember initially questioning myself about what I had heard, but when our minister referenced the same ad one Sunday, I knew I had understood the message correctly.
Wow! What a discouraging way for a church to communicate to the masses! Unfortunately, in our society, there are already enough challenges for Christians when it comes to evangelizing and carrying out The Great Commission. Calling traditional Christians, or any other body of believers, weird would not seem to serve His purposes. Encouraging that thinking seems more divisive than helpful in the pursuit of new believers.
I have great pride (hopefully, not in a sinful way) about my church home. We are blessed with a gifted minister, committed leaders, wise men and women, and an ever-growing group of youth. We are a family, seeking to study and follow God's Word, and we have fun while we do it.
I know there are other congregations in our small town doing the same thing. Our orders of worship may differ, membership size may vary, and our church cultures are all unique. And, while my family is blessed to be just where we are, there are many other churches doing great things, too. I wouldn't judge them as "weird" simply to appeal to the unchurched.
People re-connect on facebook because they share a high school or college alma mater. Serious fans buy season tickets to large-scale and local sporting events. We offer up huge amounts of time to our children's activities and endeavors. Let's remember to support our church bodies with the same enthusiasm, time and energy. That display of spirit and home-church pride will bring more people to Christ than calling the other guys names any day.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, provide wisdom for individual Christians and church bodies as they seek to reach others in the community. Lead us to evangelize with kindness and excitement for You, so that Your message is heard.
BIBLE VERSE: "For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything" (1 Thessalonians 1:8 NKJV).

People can refer themselves or be referred by a professional.
Professionals refer through the Multi Agency Safeguarding hub (MASH) and will be asked to complete a referral form.
Families may refer themselves through the MASH or the SEND Single Point of Contact. They will be asked to provide basic information on the telephone including:
- Name and address
- The people who are living in the house
- The nature of the young person's needs
- Any diagnoses the young person has
- Other support or services they are receiving
- If a child has a My Plan or a CAF
- Support networks available to the child
When will there be an initial assessment made?
If families are in receipt of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Short Breaks payment, we will ask how this is being used to support a child, as well as what use is being made of community or targeted services.
This information is used to determine whether a child's needs can be met using universal or targeted services and what other members of a child's family or community are able to do to support them.
If it is determined that a child has an outstanding need that cannot be met in this way, we would assign a qualified social worker to carry out an initial assessment, ideally within 5 working days.
What happens during an initial assessment?
During the initial assessment, the social worker will visit a child at home and talk to them about their life. This is to help us build a fuller picture of the child's needs and how they are being managed. The social worker will then talk to any other professionals already involved in supporting a child, so we can co-ordinate any support with them.
What are the assessment criteria?
After the initial assessment a decision is made about whether a child meets our criteria:
- Young people and their families whose main need for services arises out of the young person's disabilities or intrinsic condition
- These conditions have a substantial or critical impact on the quality of the young persons or/ and their families lives
- Their needs cannot be met by Universal/ Targeted services alone.
What are the options after the initial assessment?
A family may be directed to more appropriate services or, if necessary, they will be assigned a social worker.
A family's social worker will work with them to develop a plan on how to meet a young person's needs. This is called a Child in Need Plan. If a child has a My Plan, this information will be used to inform the Child in Need Plan. How these two plans work together will depend on the individual circumstance and how a child's needs are prioritised. However, if a child has a SEND lead worker, their social worker will work closely with them to support the child.
Like a My Plan, this plan will capture the child's needs, the impact of their needs on their life and the outcomes they want to work towards. It will also outline who will be supporting a young person, when and how. Our social worker will also capture a carer's needs alongside the child's assessment.
If a social worker decides the young person needs a service provided by Wiltshire Council, they will make a referral to the Family Support Panel. This panel meets fortnightly and considers all recommendations for disabled children across the county.
At this point the family support panel may make a suggestion of a different service, if they feel it would better support a child. Or the panel may agree with the social worker's recommendation.
If so, a direct payment could be offered. If the family choose not to take a direct payment, the social worker will set up the support and make sure the family remain informed.

On July 21, 2016, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published in the Federal Register an interim final rule [Docket No. DHS-2009-0009] adopting a process under which interested persons may petition DHS to issue, amend, or repeal a rule. The Administrative Procedure Act (APA) requires that each agency give interested persons the right to petition the agency for the issuance, amendment, or repeal of a rule (5 U.S.C. 553(e)). Such a petition is known as a "rulemaking petition." DHS is adopting this rule to describe its procedures for receiving and responding to rulemaking petitions.
Two components of DHS have component-specific regulations governing rulemaking petitions. See 33 C.F.R. 1.05-20 (U.S. Coast Guard); 44 C.F.R. 1.17, 1.18 (Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)). This rule leaves those regulations in place. This rule, however, will cover petitions related to all other components of DHS. Accordingly, the procedures described in this rule are the exclusive procedures for submitting a rulemaking petition related to the programs and authorities of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (except for customs-revenue functions retained by the Department of the Treasury under sections 412 and 415 of the Homeland Security Act and Treasury Department Order No. 100-16), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the National Protection and Programs Directorate, and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) among other Department components. Under the rule, DHS will not accept rulemaking petitions delivered by courier.
The rule is effective August 22, 2016. Comments must be submitted on or before September 19, 2016.
