What We Believe
Leading people from where they are to where God wants them to be.
Our Mission
Our mission is to reach people with the gospel, in the excellence of Christ-- no matter what it takes--in obedience to the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." ~ Matthew 28:19-20
Our Purpose
We humbly desire to follow God's Will with integrity and trustworthiness while striving for excellence to carry out the great commission (Matthew 28:18-20) and God's greatest commandment (Matthew 22:37-38).
Our Vision
To be a body of believers unified in faith and worship of God, encouraging one another and discipling believers to impact our community and world by sharing the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our Core Beliefs
Truths we hold dear and value at First Baptist Church…
- About God – God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
- About the Father – He is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving, and all-wise. He reigns with providential care over the universe and the flow of human history goes according to His purposes and plan.
- About Jesus – Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus has eternally existed and became man at His incarnation. He lived a sinless human life and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He bodily arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
- About the Holy Spirit – He is the third person of the Trinity. He guides men into all truth, exalts Christ, convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment, cultivates Christian character, comforts believers, bestows spiritual gifts by which believers serve God and seals the believer unto the day of final redemption. His presence in the lives of believers is the assurance of God to bring us into the fullness of the stature of Christ.
- About Scriptures – The Bible is God's Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it has salvation for its end and is truth without any mixture of error.
- About Human Beings – People are made in the image of God and are the supreme object of God's creation. All of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called sin. Sin separates people from God and causes many problems in life.
- About Salvation – Salvation is God's free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one received Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
- About Eternal Security – Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot "lose" your salvation. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security.
- About Eternity – People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separate from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
- About Baptism by Immersion – We believe that scriptural baptism must be: (1) by being completely immersed under the water and (2) after salvation. Jesus was immersed and all baptisms in the New Testament were by immersion. These two facts set the standard for baptism today. Baptism has no saving power but is the first act of obedience symbolizing (1) the believer's faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, (2) the believer's death to sin and resurrection to walk anew in Christ, and (3) the Christian's belief that he will die, be buried, and that Jesus will resurrect him from the dead.
- About the Lord's Supper – The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby believers remember the death of the Lord Jesus and anticipate His second coming. The bread is symbolic of His body and the juice represents His blood.
- About Tithing – We believe in giving the tithe – ten percent of our income – as the biblical standard of giving. The tithe is to be given as an undesignated offering to the "storehouse" ministry of a local church. According to the Scriptures, we are to give cheerfully, regularly, systematically, proportionately, and liberally for the advancement of the Redeemer's cause on earth.
- About Evangelism – It is the duty of every born again follower of Jesus Christ and of every church to endeavor to make disciples of all men everywhere. It is the command of Christ for every believer to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by personal effort and by all other methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ.
- About the Church – A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a local body of baptized believers who are associated by their common faith and fellowship with Jesus. A local church is to observe the two ordinances: (1) baptism and (2) the Lord's Supper. The church should exercise their God-given gifts and extend the gospel to the ends of the earth. The church is an autonomous body serving under the Lordship of Christ. All members are equally responsible as they serve with the scriptural officers of the church, the pastors and deacons.
- About Christian Unity – To live in harmony with other believers is clearly the teaching of the New Testament. It is the responsibility of each believer to endeavor to live in fellowship with each member of the congregation. It is further the responsibility of each member to bring all gossiping and backbiting to an end.

This comprehensive text introduces readers to the most commonly used multivariate techniques at an introductory, non-technical level. By focusing on the fundamentals, readers are better prepared for more advanced applied pursuits, particularly on topics that are most critical to the behavioral, social, and educational sciences. Analogies between the already familiar univariate statistics and multivariate statistics are emphasized throughout. The authors examine in detail how each multivariate technique can be implemented using SPSS and SAS and Mplus in the book's later chapters. Important assumptions are discussed along the way along with tips for how to deal with pitfalls the reader may encounter. Mathematical formulas are used only in their definitional meaning rather than as elements of formal proofs.
A book specific website - www.psypress.com/applied-multivariate-analysis - provides files with all of the data used in the text so readers can replicate the results. The Appendix explains the data files and its variables. The software code (for SAS and Mplus) and the menu option selections for SPSS are also discussed in the book. The book is distinguished by its use of latent variable modeling to address multivariate questions specific to behavioral and social scientists including missing data analysis and longitudinal data modeling.
Ideal for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in the behavioral, social, and educational sciences, this book will also appeal to researchers in these disciplines who have limited familiarity with multivariate statistics. Recommended prerequisites include an introductory statistics course with exposure to regression analysis and some familiarity with SPSS and SAS.

As a small business owner, when an applicant piques my interest with a good cover letter, I still need to see an impressive resume before setting up an interview. Your resume acts as the first point of contact for you and a prospective employer. If you want prospective employers to contact you about a job, you need to have a resume that impresses. Your resume must demonstrate your achievements, accomplishments, work experience, and education.
It takes time to craft the perfect resume, but you can get a great head start when you use an online template. If you use an online template, or a Word template to craft your resume, make sure to eliminate any unnecessary information and proofread the final version of your resume carefully.
What Goes on a Resume
The sections and information that your resume should cover include:
- Contact Information. At the top of your resume, include your formal name, your nickname in parentheses if applicable, current address, permanent address, phone number, email address, website if applicable and relevant, and a fax number, if available. If you have a "fun" email address, like firstname.lastname@example.com, don't use it in your resume. Instead, create a new email address that uses your first and last name.
- Objective. An objective helps explain your career goals, especially if you are just starting out in the workforce, changing careers, or applying for a specialized position. Avoid vague statements, such as "seeking a challenging position with room for improvement." Instead, state your specific and immediate career goals or intended job title. Convey what you can offer a company, not what you want from a company.
- Education. If you have recently graduated, begin your resume by listing your educational achievements. Starting with your highest degree, list the university, location, degree, date of degree, major, minor, languages, and your GPA. You should also list any awards, scholarships, or internships that you received. If you have been in the workforce for several years, list this section below your work experience.
- Work Experience. List all of your previous jobs in reverse chronological order, stating your job title, name of the company, city, state, the years worked, and a description of your responsibilities and achievements. List any awards received with each position.
- Skills. In this global, fast-paced economy, you must remember to list your computer skills, languages, and relevant certifications.
- Additional Information. Additional and optional sections might include Professional Affiliations and Community Service.
Tips for Writing an Effective Resume
1. Keep Your Format Basic, Consistent, and Easy to Read
With dozens or hundreds of resumes crossing the desk of an employer, your resume needs to be logical, concise, and easy to read in order to help the hiring manager or recruiter find the important information as quickly as possible. You have 30 seconds at most to grab their attention, and to get the company to put your resume into the "interview" pile.
- Use clear titles or headings. Examine this article for a moment. Notice that it begins with an oversized title, followed by mid-sized subtitles, and that some words are in boldface font. I am trying to make it easy for you to navigate the page and to find the information you need. Do the same with your resume. Use this strategy to organize and separate the various sections. Use oversized titles and subtitles to highlight information that you want the recruiter or headhunter to immediately see when they begin reviewing your resume.
- Use bullet points instead of paragraphs for your descriptions. This makes it much easier to read when someone has only a few seconds to glance over your resume.
- Use a basic 10-12 point font that is easy to read, and more professional than a fancier font, like Times New Roman or Arial.
- If you send a paper resume, use the same font, bullet style, and paper on both your cover letter and resume.
2. Use Action Verbs
When describing your work experience, begin with strong action verbs that best describe your accomplishments, achievements, and responsibilities. List the most impressive and important descriptions first. Some action examples include "Exceeded annual sales plan by 10%" and "Increased annual gross margin by 5%."
Avoid passive phrases such as "Was responsible for driving sales within my department," focusing on specific results instead of general responsibilities. Also, avoid writing in the first person.
3. Tailor Your Resume
Create a master resume listing your job experience, education, and skills. As you prepare to apply for a specific job, remove irrelevant information, and highlight relevant skills and accomplishments for the position.
Spend 5 to 15 minutes prepping your resume for the precise position you want. Check the job listing for keywords or phrases that the employer needs. Your resume should clearly reflect the specific skills, key qualifications, and requirements listed in the job posting. For example, include details about your years of experience in the industry, languages, licenses, and certifications.
4. Show Quantifiable Results
Did you manage a large team or implement a large money-saving or money-making program? Employers care about actual results and outcomes, not just titles, qualities, and strengths.
Give specific examples of results that you personally created as a result of managing that team or implementing that program. For example, instead of saying, "Managed team of 35 call center individuals," say, "Managed team of 35 call center individuals, which resulted in a 45% increase in sales during tenure."
5. Use Relevant References
When asked for a list of references, use past supervisors, leaders of organizations, teachers, or previous business clients who can give the employer an idea of your work experience, reliability, and resourcefulness. Do not provide prospective employers with a list of friends.
Ask your references for permission before you give their contact information to prospective employers. If the company does not ask for a list of references, you do not need to include this information on your resume.
6. Do Not Assume Prospective Employers Recognize Acronyms
If you apply for a position in a new or different field, make your resume readable by clearly explaining industry-specific terms and phrases. The first time you write the phrase, spell it out and put the acronym in parentheses. From that point on, you may use the acronym in your resume. This helps to avoid any confusion, and ensures the hiring manager or recruiter understands the acronyms and their significance.
7. Use a One-Page Resume
If you have recently graduated or have less than five years' work experience, you can fit all of your information on one page. Remember to keep your details succinct, concise, and specific to the position. A lengthy resume works against you, as recruiters and hiring managers have to quickly scan and read them.
Don't sacrifice quality for brevity; if you must go to two pages in order to list your specific, relevant skills and abilities, don't worry about keeping your resume to one page.
8. Triple Check Your Resume for Errors
Make sure your resume does not have any grammatical or spelling errors before you send it to prospective employers. Use spell check, but also enlist a few friends or family members to review your resume. Receiving a promising resume riddled with errors frustrates hiring managers and recruiters. The resume appears sloppy and hastily prepared.
9. Be Honest
Be honest about your skills, accomplishments, education, and job experiences. If you lie about your background, the prospective employer may find out. In this scenario, you won't get the job, and you may tarnish your professional reputation.
10. Don't Oversell Your Skills
In addition to honestly portraying your background, don't embellish your work history or skills. Overselling your skills may get you an interview, but it will quickly become clear in follow-up interviews that you don't have the background the company needs. In addition, you may end up in a job that you can't do.
11. Don't Undersell Your Skills
On the other hand, you shouldn't undersell your skills, or trivialize your accomplishments. If your "excellent" leadership skills led to promotions, mention this in your resume. If you graduated first in your class or participated in a program for academic leaders, include pertinent details about the accomplishments.
12. Stay Focused
Keep your resume focused and on track. Don't meander into too much detail about other interests unless they're relevant, and don't mention hobbies at all. Make sure your resume has focus and direction, and works as a cohesive whole.
In addition to staying on track, make sure your resume focuses on your related work history.
13. Include Relevant Job History
Include relevant information about your job history in your resume. Don't include information about jobs you held as a teenager, and don't include too much detail about jobs that do not relate to your current career path.
14. Don't Make Excuses
If you lost a job, became unemployed, or had to take a job with less responsibilities, don't make excuses or provide unnecessary explanations for this information. Save this information for a discussion with a recruiter over the phone or in person.
15. Provide Some Details About Past Employers
Assume that prospective employers and recruiters do not have familiarity with your past employers or their industries. Provide a brief capsule of information about each company where you have worked. For example, "CompanyName is a technology service provider offering website design and consulting services."
16. Make It Easy for Prospective Employers to Find Your Resume
Make it easy for prospective employers and recruiters to find your resume by using keywords. When you save your resume to job websites like CareerBuilder and Monster.com, include keywords that detail specific skills so you show up in recruiters' search results.
Instead of using "Experienced Nurse Loves Working with Kids," use a keyword-focused title like "RN, Pediatric Registered Nurse, California RN License." The string of keywords might look odd, but it almost guarantees that recruiters who need people with your unique skill-set will find you.
17. Include Social Media Links Only When Appropriate
If you apply for jobs related to website design, digital media, and related positions, you can include links to your pages on relevant social media websites. However, if you don't work in fields related to the Internet, the links just clutter your resume and won't seem relevant to hiring managers.
Final Word
If you are currently seeking employment, you need to sell yourself with a resume that shows the company your unique qualifications. Customize your resume for the position you want, and make sure the resume has no mistakes or errors. Many other applicants want the same position, so your resume needs to rise to the top.
Include your resume as an attachment to the email you send to hiring managers, unless they stipulate that they cannot open attachments. If you have to copy and paste your resume into your cover letter email, send a test email to yourself first, to double-check the formatting.

NIMASA Kickstarts Process To End Gas Emission On Vessels
The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has commenced the process to end gas emission on vessels with the recent installation of the Thorium-X tablet, a fuel consumption data collection device, on board a Nigerian-flagged fuel tanker vessel, MT KINGIS.
The agency, in a statement, said the process was targeted at ending green-house gas emissions on vessels. It added that the pilot project, which came as a fallout of the Maritime Technology Cooperation Centre (MTCC) conference held in Kenya in March, aims at reducing fuel consumption by vessels.
The MTCC, it stated, is targeted towards developing countries, and Nigeria was made a priority and nominated for the pilot project.
The Director-General of NIMASA, Dr Dakuku Peterside, reiterated the agency's commitment to global best practices in the execution of its mandate of regulating the maritime industry.
Peterside said: "NIMASA is ensuring that we are keeping to global best practices with a commendable track record in administration and regulation in the maritime sector.
"NIMASA was chosen to lead the project in Nigeria, being the chosen country in the West and Central Africa region. This pilot project will last a year. But the data will be reported to the Kenyan portal, and then it goes to the IMO global portal after every voyage. Reports will be collated and sent after a three-month period. The findings and analysis are then recorded and reported at the end of the year to inform the country the amount of fuel being consumed annually on each voyage and how much GHG is being emitted."
He added: "The launch of the fuel consumption data collection device is in line with the decision of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) to reduce fuel consumption by vessels as well as Green House Gases (GHG) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission on voyages. NIMASA was nominated to operate the project in Nigeria, which has become a focal point and so nominated as a country of interest in Africa for the pilot project. The NIMASA-nominated vessel for the programme is indigenously owned by an award winning company, Sea Transport Services Nigeria Limited. Nigeria was chosen for the launch of the pilot scheme for the West and Central Africa sub-regions.
"The tablet is equipped with inbuilt internet capability for ease of communication of data, and also dedicated software to calculate Energy Efficiency Operation Index (EEOI) of voyaging vessels. The information that results from the findings will facilitate decisions in maritime policy formation as it relates to GHG emissions from ships and its effect on climate and environment. The Marine Environment Management unit of NIMASA has been at the forefront of efforts to ensure an environmentally safer and cleaner maritime domain."
… To Partner Port of Antwerp
As part of efforts to boost trade and encourage foreign direct investment opportunities in the Nigerian maritime sector, the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) is set to partner the Port of Antwerp in Belgium.
This position was made known by the Director-General of NIMASA, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, when he hosted a team from the Port of Antwerp in Belgium led by the Director, Africa Port of Antwerp International, Mr. Nico Vertongen, in Lagos.
He stated that the Port of Antwerp had a long standing relationship with the ports community in Lagos, noting that from 2017 till date, 302 vessels have called between the Port of Antwerp and the ports community in Lagos.
He said within the period, 33 vessels conveyed export goods from the port of Lagos terminating at the Port of Antwerp, with 22 Belgium-flagged vessels calling at Nigerian ports and several other volumes of transaction.
Peterside said the agency was willing to consolidate on the gains of the Nigeria-Belgian relationship.
"We have always had a business relationship with the port of Antwerp either as destination ports or ports of origin. We are glad to know that you are in Nigeria and planning to lead a business mission sometime in November to the Lagos Port Community. Our position is straight forward and clear; we welcome the business mission with our doors open and believe there is a lot we can do together," he said.
Peterside also stated that the November meeting would be the beginning of a mutually beneficial relationship in diverse ways that will also give opportunities for exchange of ideas.
"It will also open opportunities for training for our people and it will give you a better understanding of how the ports in Lagos, Nigeria, in Africa work, leading to the volume of trade between ports and other operations," he added.
Peterside, who expressed concerns about the isolated negative representation of the Nigerian maritime sector in the media, said efforts were being made to stem it.
He told the delegation that the agency, which has the responsibility to ensure maritime security in the ports and waterways, had put in place a number of strategies, including a legal framework on piracy and maritime crime and acquisition of assets to build up response capability, to stop the pirates and criminals from operating within the coastal waters.
Earlier in his address, Vertongen, who spoke on behalf of the delegation noted that the Port of Antwerp intended to come to Nigeria in November on a business mission with the intention of boosting the already existing relationship between the ports community in Lagos and the Antwerp port.
He also expressed their readiness to partner the Agency on port security, safety and also possible areas of training, adding that the meeting will further be an opportunity for the duo to be official partners.

Three European Tour players also carry Cleveland drivers and use either a Launcher series or a Hi-Bore XLS model.
Tiger Woods, the most well-known golfer in the world, headlined 10 PGA players who carry Nike clubs, according to the company's website. The VR Tour is the driver of choice for Nike golfers.

Cabrera, winner of the 2007 U.S. Open and 2009 Masters, uses a 7.5-degree Ping Rapture series driver. Louis Oosthuizen, winner of the 2010 British Open, is also a Ping player--he carries a 9-degree Rapture series driver.
Though Paul Goydos is not the biggest name carrying a TaylorMade driver, he made golf history in July 2010, when he shot a 59 in the first round of the John Deere Classic, tying a PGA Tour record. Goydos carries the R9 driver, which allows golfers to shift the weighting of the club to fit their swing. Lefty Mike Weir, winner of the 2003 Masters, also carries the R9 while Sergio Garcia (seven-time winner on the PGA Tour) carries the Burner Superfast and Tom Lehman, winner of the 1996 British Open, carries the R7 Superquad, two of TaylorMade's other well-known models.
Paula Creamer, winner of the 2010 U.S. Women's Open, carries an R7 series driver.

I'd like to ask somebody whom encountered this problem before the solution for i t! I've had lots of trouble with hair or dust on my film "BEFORE" I shoot the ph otograph. This translates into nasty black marks on the prints which are ever so difficult to retouch. My first field camera(WOODMAN 45) was particularly prone to this feature, my actual camera a Wista VX is already an improvement. Any sugg estion? Could my film holders be responsable for it? Thanks for answering me! Andrea Milano

As a suggestion, I would recommend to first search the registry for invalid keys. Then evaluate output, and try one of the repair modes only on specific keys. Recursion has been tested and seems ok, but recursively modifying the registry is inherently risky. Enough said.
Also added a second PoC, that create some really bastard keys. My program are not able to handle them, and I almost certain these keys have to be modified in offline mode. I don't know about any program that are able to handle this sort of keys, so if you find one then please let me know.
How did you go with your attempt?

Hi Joakim
I try your tool today, to cleanup an undeletable key:
RegKeyFixer.exe "\Registry\Machine\SOFTWARE\Network Group" -r -s
C:\temp>RegKeyFixer.exe "\Registry\Machine\SOFTWARE\Network Group" -r -s
Location: \Registry\Machine\SOFTWARE\Network Group\MyKey_
Error in NtOpenKey 2 : 0xC0000034 -> The system cannot find the file specified.
Job took 0.02 seconds
Unfortunately i run into an error. Do you can help me out?

This tool has a very specific and limited usage. It is not a general registry tool for fixing any corrupt registry key/value. The troublesome key in your registry may be caused by something else.
I don't know why you can't delete the key, but my tool is at least showing an ntstatus as returned from NtOpenKey...
Do you get any clue if there is NULL's that is messing up for you if you substitute the "-r" switch with "-f"? If it returns nothing, then it may be caused by something else.

Educating athletes about the significance of healthy habits pertaining to physical activity is important to Gasol Foundation. That is why we organized healthy workshops at the Escola Basquet Girona Marc Gasol (EBGMG) summer camp: we wanted the athletes in attendance to grasp not only athletic concepts, but also for them to understand the affects healthy eating and hydration can have.
Supervising the EBGMG Menus with the Healthy Eating Plate
In order for athletes to maintain such rigorous training programs, it is vital that they fuel their bodies correctly. One of the tips Gasol Foundation provided to help with this was by supervising the EBGMG menus.By doing this, Gasol Foundation was able to achieve a balance between rations and guarantee a menu composed of essential vitamins and nutrients athletes need in order to perform at an optimal level. With the aid of coaches, trainers and educators, camp attendees learned all about the Healthy Eating Plate. At the end of the lesson, all of the campers were fully confident in their ability to choose healthy options on their own.
Make It Healthy Make It Fun
A simple and effective way to get young kids excited and motivated to exemplify a healthy lifestyle is to make learning about healthy habits and nutrition fun. This is why EBGMG campers participated in different fun and dynamic activities. For instance, they all took part in an activity where they were divided into 2 teams for a basketball game. Extra points could be earned if they hit a heathy question. Some of these questions included: Does eating before a game or competition help to maximize performance? When competing at a high level, is eating more important than hydration? As you can see, play and teamwork can go hand in hand when it comes to learning about healthy habits.
Gasol Foundation Healthy Kit
Upon completion of the healthy workshops, participants at the EBGMG Summer Camp received a Healthy Kit from Gasol Foundation. The kit included a reusable water bottle in order to encourage proper hydration, and a towel to promote good hygiene habits after physical activity.We know that our campers will put these kits to good use and maintain a healthy and active lifestyle!
Training Sessions with EBGMG's Technical Staff and Trainers
Coaches play a crucial role in players' lives. Besides educating players' and developing them to their full potential in their sport, they also serve as support systems and role models, especially for younger athletes. Gasol Foundation fully understands this; therefore, we knew it would be a great idea to organize an additional session at Escola Basquet Girona Marc Gasol featuring the Gasol Foundation coaches. By sharing all of their knowledge and expertise , they were able to reinforce key concepts to the campers. We cannot thank the EBGMG coaches enough for their messages, training and encouragement. You've inspired and motivated our campers in so many ways! We trust that all our campers will take everything you've taught them and utilize it as they move forward in their health journeys.

GEUS has just signed a contract to assist the Nigerian Ministry of Mines and Steel Development in a project on small-scale mining (ASM). The project is financed by the World Bank. More than 90% of Nigerias mining industry is operated on small-scale in the rural areas. The mining is manual or done with low-technology equipment, and is often the sole source of income. A team from GEUS will visit 8 to 10 ASM communities in Nigeria to investigate how the technical, environmental and socio-economic conditions are affected by the various types of mining. Based on this assessment, GEUS will develop a Handbook for ASM to be used by a broad range of government and regional authorities. Furthermore, the GEUS team will carry out an assessment of training needs in selected national and regional authorities. This will form the basis for training material to selected expert groups. To ensure sustainability, material will also be made so that the project can continue with Nigerian trainers.

If you need an accurate and perfect cut with your circular saw then using the circular saw with guide rail is the best choice. You need to know how to adjust the guide rail with a circular saw. For better understanding, you can read my read my this article where I tried to explain more about guide rail for a circular saw. There are lots of advantages using guide rail. But if you can't adjust it properly then the outcome will be zero. You have to know about guide rib, splinter shield, slide coating, and other things. Using the circular saw with guide rail is not a rule here. But it's easier and comfortable for working. Attaching the guide rail with proper clamps, mount on both side properly, fix the grip of the rail and lots of facts need to know. Toolstop creates this excellent video about how to use a circular saw with guide rail properly. If you watch this video, it will clear your concepts. So look at the video now and get to know more about it.

Invention described in Nature paper, Organic electronics: The WORM's turn
November 13, 2003
Researchers at HP Labs and Princeton University have developed a combination of materials that could lead to cheap and super-compact electronic memory devices for archiving digital images or other data.
The invention could result in a single-use memory card that permanently stores data and is faster and easier to use than a compact disk. The card would not involve moving parts such as the laser and motor drive required by CDs.
A paper on the underlying science of the technology, entitled "A polymer/semiconductor write-once read-many-times memory," has been published in the British science journal Nature. The authors of the paper are Sven Moller, a former Princeton University post-doctoral candidate now working at HP; Craig Perlov, Warren Jackson and Carl Taussig of HP Labs in Palo Alto, and Stephen R. Forrest, a professor at Princeton. The work was supported by HP and the National Science Foundation.
The basic material for the technology is an organic material already in use as an anti-static agent in clothes dryer sheets,electronics packaging , in electro-chromic windows, and in displays made with organic light-emitting diodes.
The first paragraph is below. For the full paper, go here
(Nature subscription required).
Organic devices promise to revolutionize the extent of, and access to, electronics by providing extremely inexpensive, lightweight and capable ubiquitous components that are printed onto plastic, glass or metal foils. One key component of an electronic circuit that has thus far received surprisingly little attention is an organic electronic memory. Here we report an architecture for a write-once read-many-times (WORM) memory, based on the hybrid integration of an electrochromic polymer with a thin-film silicon diode deposited onto a flexible metal foil substrate. WORM memories are desirable for ultralow-cost permanent storage of digital images, eliminating the need for slow, bulky and expensive mechanical drives used in conventional magnetic and optical memories. Our results indicate that the hybrid organic/inorganic memory device is a reliable means for achieving rapid, large-scale archival data storage. The WORM memory pixel exploits a mechanism of current-controlled, thermally activated un-doping of a two-component electrochromic conducting polymer.

TIFF Talk 2016: Ariel, "Window Horses"
The Film: Window Horses (Canada)
What's it about?
It's an animated story about Rosie (voiced by Sandra Oh) who is half Chinese and half Persian. She lives in BC with her grandparents ever since her mother died and her father abandoned her. She's a poet and gets this anonymous invitation to a poetry contest in Shiraz, Iran. She goes knowing that's where her father lives and she progressively learns more about her past, her father and the history of the Persian Empire. It's a coming of age story that involves a culture that is currently under a great deal of scrutiny and Canadian director/animator Ann Marie Fleming sheds a more just light on it.
Did you like it?
It's a beautiful film. More so than I expected. It's really moving and very compassionate. It's incredibly fluid in its depiction of an artistic culture. The film embraces those notions of self doubt that many artists have about creating their art and reveals many international concepts on the nature of expression and creativity.
The great thing about the film being animated is that it can appeal to children. It's not specifically a kid's film, but I think 10 to 15-year olds will get it and that's important because there's more to life than what we know.
The animation is incredibly simple considering Rosie is essentially a stick figure. I find it very indicative of how bare and raw she is. She's still learning about life and with her being simplistically drawn, you get the impression that she's not fully formed yet. She's still growing. I loved it.

Along with year-end fundraising, accounting, and celebrations, the end of the year often means the beginning of the rush to put together your organization's annual report. We know getting your annual report to the presses can be an intense process. Collecting and compiling data, verifying outcomes and financials, and building the report itself can seem like a daunting task.
You might be tempted to dial back your expectations and settle for reporting the bare minimum to meet compliance standards putting your focus on next year's goals. STOP. It's important to keep in mind that a great annual report can do what dozens of fundraising and reporting documents struggle to accomplish: effectively communicate your value to a wide range of stakeholders (including those all-important donors).
From the data compilation to the graphic design process, compiling an annual report can spark important and useful conversations about your organization's identity, strategy, direction, and purpose. The best nonprofit annual reports synthesize the breadth and depth of your entire organization in a single, tightly crafted document (or webpage). And, once it's done, a great annual report becomes the foundation for all of your PR and fundraising materials, not to mention grant applications and reports.
Keeping that information in mind, here are our top 5 picks from some of our customers who have created their own exceptional nonprofit annual reports. If you need help with yours, download our Nonprofit Annual Report Template.
1. Family League of Baltimore
Family League of Baltimore's 2015 annual report uses a very clean, well-designed layout. By using a horizontal design instead of a vertical one, it allows them toinclude more space and make the template feel less crowded. The imagery is consistently on the left side, followed by a more detailed explanation of the content on the left.
One commonly overlooked feature when building an annual report is the table of contents. This is important because it let's the reader know what to expect later on in your report, and where they can find specific information if they are interested in a specific element. To help with consistency, each page has a clear header that matches the subject listed out in the table of contents.
On page 11, Family League of Baltimore uses a unique map of Baltimore to demonstrate their investments in 2015. This map is just one example of how certain charts and graphs—when used correctly—can jump off the page at people. Consider finding a way to work in a heat map of your own, or a well-designed chart or graphic that will catch the reader's eye.
2. Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland 2014 annual report does several things well to personalize their report and help the reader connect with the mission of the organization. From the cover page to the final page, Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland use large images of the children they work with day in and day out. These are not stock photos, but instead pictures of the actual students they serve.
This approach helps stakeholders and donors see where their money is going, and who is actually being served. In addition to using authentic photos to get the readers attention, quotes from individuals are used alongside their pictures. These quotes help give the photos some context, and can provide a powerful and inspirational message to the reader. It shows the impact that Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland has through the words of their students.
3. Latin American Youth Center (LAYC)
LAYC's annual report from 2012 emphasizes the importance of formatting.There are several advantages to using a webpage to display your nonprofit's annual report. The first being that it is indexable by Google and other search engines. This means that every time you use your organizations name, board member names, or any other key search phrases, you are increasing your nonprofit's Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
Another benefit to hosting your annual report on a dedicated webpage is that the reader doesn't need to scroll though pages. The site can be set up with different sections, just as LAYC has done with the ribbons below their cover image. This helps the reader easily navigate the content, and choose where they want to visit. Websites are also easier to share with staff, colleagues, stakeholders, and anyone else who would like to see the annual report.
4. Dallas Children's Advocacy Center
The primary focus of the 2015 annual report from Dallas Children's Advocacy Center is the data itself. When positioned correctly, data can be a powerful way to tell your story. Large sums of data can be used to show the magnitude of the work that your nonprofit does, and just how many lives are affected.
To paint a picture of their participant demographics, the Dallas Children's Advocacy Center shows the data for the age, gender, and ethnicity of their participants. In addition to this visual representation for the readers, Dallas Children's Advocacy Center summarizes the most common type of victim they serve, and the most common type of alleged offender. Using data this way can truly give the reader a behind the scenes look at how much your organization does, who it serves, and why continued donations are important.
5. Healthy Families/Thriving Communities
One of the most underrated aspects of creating a great annual report is the color scheme. In the 2012 annual report by Healthy Families/Thriving Communities, they do an excellent job segmenting their annual report with design and color choice. You can begin to see the central color scheme unveil on page 7, where they use different colors to show how there are five Healthy Families/Thriving Communities Collaboratives that operate across the District of Columbia.
The same blue, green, orange, and yellow colors can be seen throughout this annual report. This makes it easy for Healthy Families/Thriving Communities to separate categories like "Family Development Credentialing," "Professional Development Training," and more, all while on the same page. At the same time, they use these colors to differentiate the demographic information captured on their intake form on page 14.
Hopefully these examples of annual reports from several high-performing nonprofits have inspired and energized you! How do you keep track of all the data you use in your annual report? Pen and paper? Excel? Third-party software? To learn a little more about what exactly nonprofit software is and what it can do for your organization, visit our website, or continue reading how you can begin measuring your nonprofit's impact.

Meet South Carolina Southern Mother Lauren W. with Gorgeous Lifestyle Newborn Family Photos
In your own words, what does motherhood mean to you?
Motherhood is a time period of life that starts the second you find out you're expecting and never, ever ends no matter what. That time period becomes a remarkable journey where you learn a lot more than you teach and you discover a kind of limitless love.
How Many Children Do You Have?
Two girls. Julia (2) and Ilaria (8 weeks).
What are your must-have newborn baby items?
I would say the Fisher-Price Rock-N-Play is an especially helpful option for daytime napping. I love my Medela Freestyle breast pump as it can be charged and it's portable. I am also a huge fan of the ridiculously soft Kissy Kissy baby clothes. Lastly, Wubbanub pacifiers are just adorable!
Tell us about the first days of bringing your baby home, the ups and the downs.
We brought our second baby home on July 4th, so there were fireworks of the figurative and literal kind! She was wonderful in the transition, but our toddler reverted and became a baby the second we all sat down in the living room as a family of four. She was babbling, cooing, and laying under the baby play mat. It was quite taxing emotionally for this mama. A few days later my husband got a virus and had to be quarantined. A few days after that, I ended up in the ER for (what turned out to be minor) complications. We are still thankful for the help of our family and friends. The easiest part of coming home was, ironically, the newborn.
Did you bottle or breastfeed, what is your advice for new mothers?
Julia, our oldest, was tongue-tied and, although we discovered it in the hospital and had it clipped early, she never latched properly. I tried breastfeeding her with a nipple shield for a while, but I ultimately pumped exclusively for five months. So far, with Ilaria, I have been breastfeeding as much as possible, but still pump a few times a day. Breastfeeding is not always a choice. Some of my best friends wanted desperately to have it as an option, to no avail. It is a highly personal and, often, sensitive subject. I'd tell new moms to try. If it's not working for you or for your baby in any way, don't beat yourself up. If your baby is hungry, you're both going to be miserable. Fed is always best.
What are some of your most cherished memories of motherhood?
I distinctly remember the first time a pediatrician called me on the phone and asked, "May I speak to Julia's mom?" In that moment, I had the epiphany – that was ME! I was someone's mommy. I have adored reading to Julia, singing the "big sister song," taking her to the lake, beach and zoo, watching her try new foods, and hearing her say, "Mommy" and "I love you." With Ilaria, my c-section was planned and I was so much more alert during the surgery. The doctor said, "You're about to meet your baby!" My eyes filled with the happiest, most joyful tears the second I saw her.
What most surprised you about motherhood?
It has surprised me how much love and fear I feel all at the same time.
What has been your greatest challenge in motherhood?
My greatest challenge was suffering from antenatal and postpartum depression and anxiety with my first baby. It was so difficult to go through. At this point, I figure it was mostly circumstantial as I had just gone through three miscarriages back-to-back. The anxiety truly stole my mind and robbed me of so many moments where I should have been feeling pure joy. I am cheering for all new moms out there and strongly encourage everyone to open up to someone about how you're feeling. Please know you're never alone in your journey or in your struggles.
Has your style changed since becoming a mom?
My style has stayed pretty similar, but I wear more flats and fewer heels. I go for comfort whenever possible and can rock a wet, messy bun along with the best of 'em! If I shower and put on my makeup each morning, it keeps me feeling human and ready for the day.
If you get any "me time", how do you wind down or spend it?
I always say if I run away from home you can find me in the aisles of Target or Barnes and Noble. I also love to get manicures and pedicures as regularly as possible, take warm baths with lavender candles, enjoy a walk with friends or my mom, and I always enjoy a cup of coffee paired with my journal and a good bible study.
How has having a baby changed your relationship?
Our time has been claimed in the evenings and we are almost always in a routine. We've had to be intentional with how we spend a couple of quiet hours we get together on weeknights after Julia goes to bed and plan to get babysitters for date nights. I'd say the first year was the hardest and we've slowly adapted to this new lifestyle and trying to put each other first.
Looking back to your first days of parents, what would you tell yourself?
I would say, "You are a great mom! Just breathe. You're going to be ok. She's going to be ok."
What is your greatest joy in being a mother?
I love getting to witness my girls make discoveries. Whether it is looking into my eyes and smiling for the first time or asking questions about the meaning of a word, I love to relive learning the world with them. There's something incredibly magical about the wonders of growing up.
If you could give your child(ren) one piece of advice what would it be?
I'd tell them to love others and to forgive readily. Life is all about grace and love.
Tell us about your session and what the images mean to you.
Courtney was outstanding! The second she came to our home, I showed her my favorite spots for the shoot. She had a plan within seconds and executed beautifully. The pictures are light and airy. She captured our nursery the way I see it – a happy place. She showcased the youthful, vibrant features of our girls and the love we all have for one another. To top it off, she was wonderful to talk to and we connected on a personal level as well. I am so thankful for these pictures and will truly treasure them for years to come. Thank you, Courtney! You are spectacular.
Courtney is a lifestyle and studio newborn photographer based in Greenville, SC. Since the humble start of CMP, her business has been dedicated to the beauty of family, and simplicity in capturing newborns and toddlers as they truly are.

Leetgion El Druin game mouse review -
Final words and conclusion
Final words and conclusion
The El'Druin is a nice addition to gaming mice within its class. It stands out having a very unique design and innovative functionality. Now the mouse works out great for me personally, but itsure, the design and positioning of the buttons might not be everybody's cup of tea alright. It took me a while to get used to it. After a few days however things will go much faster as you will get the hang of things.
Another thing you'll need to get used to is once you selected a DPI mode, you'll quickly need to switch and press that button again. If you leave it at DPI mode and game onwards, you will touch the wheel by accident and thus change the DPI. The last comment would be the overall weight, it is not a light weight mouse and I certainly like that, but here again that's not everybody's cup of tea. Perhaps Leetgion should look into a weigh system for this as it might be a little too heavy for some of you.
Overall it's a good mouse alright, with good looks and a fairly comfortable feel. Playing games with it is a pleasure once you get a hang of things and it is mostly recommended for strategy and RPG games. First person shooters, not so much. In desktop mode you'll be working with the mouse versus a steep learning curve as well. The overall quality is great, it is sturdy comes with good components, long braided cable and gold plated USB connector.
Overall though the mouse is great with a good grip in your hands, the software engine is too a little complicated for some. The overall feel of the mouse is good as well. The curves and sizes match my hands quite well and during gaming you simply do not pay attention to the mouse as if it is non-existent. And that is great as it becomes an extension of your mindset.
It has unique looks. So the build quality overall is great alongside its features. For roughly 60-70 EUR the mouse is not cheap though, we get to have the 5000 DPI laser engine, controllable DPI selection, and you get a mouse that is fairly unique to work with. The buttons give a good feel and response feedback when pressed. We also like the Teflon base.
The Leetgion El'Druin can be purchased in stores and prices to hover at roughly 60-70 EUR, you do receive an RPG genre optimized mouse that is well designed. Realistically, it's a great mouse that serves the RPG genre gamers really well. Again it will take a little time to get used to, but overall we can most definitely recommend it.

- Or go back to Guru3D's front page
Leetgion released the El Druin game mouse which we review, the high DPI mouse is made by leetgion, the guys behind Thermalright. The mouse has all the features you may expect from a nice game mouse at a true gamers price level. Perhaps something you want to check out ? Head on over into the review.

Welcome back to my Thursday blog series!
When I finally have my scheduled music production and development time, I have to make the most of it. Thankfully I've got my pot of inspiration ideas to draw from (which I talked about in the last video), so I don't have to work too hard to get the ball rolling.
If I'm starting a new song that night, I'll usually start off with perusing that folder and listening to each of my ideas one by one until something catches my attention. Then I'll start actually putting it down – either the lyrics or the foundation of the instrumentation, whichever comes to me easiest. Personally, I find it's harder to start something than to keep something going, so I've built these methods for myself to make it as effortless as possible for me to actually start. Once I'm going I turn into a charging bull… and you'd better get out of my way.
Let's say I choose to go with lyrics one night, I'll open up a word processor and write out whatever I've already recorded in my "pot-of-inspiration-pick-of-the-night". If there are no words and only a melody, then I'll write out the rhythm in which I intend the words to be written. Consequently, a lot of my work in progress pages look like this:
Doo do do daaa
Daa da dee
Lalala laaaaaah loo
Honestly it's probably gibberish to everyone except me, as there are no particular rules that I'm following for this type of notation, but for whatever reason this works for me. I can maintain my original intended rhythm and still have some flexibility to evolve it into something better. I also do this when I get a little further into writing and need to progress the song into a new part. Words don't come as naturally to me as rhythms and melodies do, so I'll play around with that first and fill in the language when I have a clearer direction.
Which leads me into the concept of finding the story. What is the song about? Sometimes it's not what the song was originally inspired by, and it needs to change. Is it personal? Is it political? Is it about someone or something? Just like a book or a movie, a song has a beginning, a middle, and an end, and those will need to be worked out both lyrically and musically. But once I've got my skeleton down, I'll start building the muscles with a big picture concept or even a sentence, as that seems to help me narrow things down into a progression.
At that point I can go nuts, and these days there are so many tools available out there to help. If the song rhymes, I'll use a rhyming dictionary to help me with lines. If there's a word that doesn't quite fit and I need something similar, I'll use a Thesaurus. As long as everything is supporting the story, you're gold.
Many times I'll come up with the video for the song as I'm writing the lyrics – in fact I think it's safe to say that I actually have a music video idea for every song I ever finish, but it's not always practical for me to execute. In any case, video or not, the story is your backbone and will influence not only the words but the instrumentation and melody as well. Go with the flow and keep it moving!
How do you start your songs or stories? What types of tools do you use to help your lyrics take their final shape? Let me know in the comments!

For those of you who follow me on Twitter or Instagram you would have noticed I am obsessed with making focaccia bread. Not to mention, it's that time of year when you just want to stay indoors and stuff your face with carbohydrates.
In regards to this recipe, I blame a lot of my mishaps on my oven, but the truth is, when it comes to baking, I'm just not very good. When I cook, I don't measure. I go my feel, taste and eye. So believe it or not, the hardest part about writing a cookbook (www.daretotaste.com) is writing down the measurements.
I have made this bread literally 15 times in the past month, and I firmly believe I finally got it right. Jumping ahead, I only like tomatoes and shallots on my focaccia. Whereas my mother, however, loves black olives and artichokes. So feel free to add your own spin on this recipe. I'm just a simple girl who likes simple flavors.
In a large bowl (or mixer), combine the yeast with the warm water. Let rest for about 15 minutes before stirring. Add the flour, salt and flour. If you dot have a mixer, kneed for 10 minutes until the dough reaches a soft consistency.
Form the dough into a tight ball, coat with olive oil and return to the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let double in size… about an hour.
Once the dough has doubled in size, deflate and let rise again for another hour. Once it's risen, place the dough on a baking sheet lined with olive oil. With your fingers, massage the dough creating small indentations. These will become little pockets of flavor once the bread is seasoned.
In a small skillet, sauté the two shallots in olive oil until soft.
Once the dough is fully massaged, make sure the top is covered with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, rosemary and thyme. Follow with the shallots and tomatoes or any other toppings of your choice.
Cover the dough in the pan and let rest for at least another 30-45 minutes until it's risen once again.
Bake at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes until the top and bottom are lightly browned.
Roasted Tomato, Ginger & Basil Soup
Nothing screams fall or winter like a hearty tomato soup, especially on a chilly day. Lucky for me, New England brings lots of days that call for this recipe. And if you love carbohydrates and starches as much as I do, to make it even heartier, add rice or orzo pasta. Serve with a classic grilled cheese sandwich and you have a perfect meal.

Red Lantern – Owned and operated by Empire's Big Night Entertainment group, the ambiance at Red Lantern is spectacular; Asian décor of course. It's not too loud to have a conversation with your date or even neighbor. In fact, I had one of the worst dates of my life here, but always seem to make friends with those eating at the table next to me. Had a little too much to drink? You won't even get in trouble for pushing your friend under the table when she leans over to pick up her chopsticks. Trust me. I've tried it.

I'm assuming if you live in Boston you have been to Empire, one of the most delicious Asian and sushi places in the city.
I would go into length about the menu, but it would take me forever to list all the things I love. At Empire there is something for everyone. Don't like sushi? Not a problem. Order up some pot stickers, lo mein and/or fried rice and you'll think you're in Chinatown, minus the disgusting decor and drunk college kids at 3 a.m. The great thing about Empire is it may very well be the only place I can go to eat and drink at the same time, if that makes any sense.(Translation-I can eat and drink just enough to still have the desire to stay and check out the eye candy hanging out at the bar area.) The service is never less than impeccable on any given night at any given time, and to me, that is one of the greatest achievements of this restaurant. The waitresses and bartenders are easy on the eyes but quick and efficient at the same time. In my opinion, it's hard to hire a full staff of gorgeous human beings who also perform their job well. AND when it comes to cocktails, Empire is not lacking in tasty beverages. I'm in love with the Emperor's Mule (I'm on a Moscow Mule kick lately) or the Asian Pear, all vodka-based drinks.
The food? Sky's the limit. The sushi is fresh and beyond creative, but not complicated and confusing. My favorite roll at Empire is the Hamachi Tartar Roll, a citrus (lime) yellow tail tartar with cucumber and avocado and more, and the Red Dragon Roll, which is blue fin tuna with a bit of spice. If you have $24 to spare, order the lobster cupcakes, a deep-fried morsel of goodness you'll dream about for the rest of your life.
This is legit my go-to spot for "girls night out" because you really can't go wrong. It can be a singles spot, a place for groups to meet after work, and even a birthday party destination. In fact, I think I've been to Empire for all of the above, including New Years Eve two years ago. Yes, with my posse of girls. Some guy at the bar told me my arms were fat. Actually, I think his exact words were, "get your fat arms out of my face." He was really sweet. Needless to say we did not go home together that night.
The Boston Bruins have been known to drop in at Empire as well, especially when Shawn Thornton was a member of the B's. I've never seen a fight at Empire, my friend made out with a hot guy in the hallway last summer, and I lost my $375 car keys and leather jacket there last fall. I mean…so much can happen at this place.
My only gripe with Empire is it can be somewhat loud past 9pm and the music is funky. If I want to hear loud music past 11pm, there better be some Michael Jackson on the playlist. Unfortunately, you won't find that at Empire. So if you're headed for some conversation, pick another spot. One more thing: The cab situation can be tricky as well. With Strega right next door, it can be a nightmare/free-for-all getting home and that is nothing less than a pain in the ass. And frankly, I'm too old to worry about that crap.

Aria Trattoria, North End — One of my absolute favorite spots for dinner, drinks, more drinks and snacks… everything! And yes, this is my second and last North End restaurant on the top five list. I would add more, but I don't want you all to think I'm afraid to leave my neighborhood.
Massimo Tiberi has hit it out of the park with Aria. Named after his daughter, the best part of the menu is Tiberi's love for having pasta fit into every meal. I agree with Mass, you must squeeze the pasta in somewhere. In fact, a small bowl of homemade bolognese is what makes your night at Aria complete. And the fact that you can order a small bowl of pasta in between your starter and main dish is, in my opinion, righteous. Yeah, I said righteous.

Thank you for joining me on my first food-related blog post. I am thrilled to dip my pen, or keyboard, into the culinary arts – and what better way to start my new career than a witty blog post about my second favorite thing in life (next to sports of course)…food.
As many of you already know, I am an avid home cook. To foster this, I am attending culinary school in January (Cambridge School of Culinary Arts) and I recently finished a food-related project in Los Angeles. I also wrote my first cookbook over the summer, "Bullied Into Cooking," which helps support an anti-bullying campaign in all 134 Boston Public schools. I'm in the process of writing my second book that will be out in early December.

Oman's total healthcare expenditure will amount up to 8-10% of the country's GDP by the year 2030
Dubai, United Arab Emirates - September 30, 2019: The Sultanate of Oman has made tremendous advancements in healthcare sector development during the past 43 years represented by the percentage and speedy reduction in mortality, especially childhood mortality. Thanks to the government's 'Best HealthCare for all' motto, which was commended by the UN.
With a growing total population of around 5 million, Oman's young population amounts to 13.9% children under 5 years and 33.7% under-15 years. The government's vision for the future focuses on healthy nutrition, growth monitoring and injury management in children. As the total population of the country is expected to reach over 7 million mark by 2050, the governments are greatly concerned with their ability to adequately finance health care and ensure its sustainability in the face of escalating costs. In fact, healthcare is expected to be 8-10% of the GDP by 2030.
"There is an increasing focus on improving primary healthcare and cost-effective caregiving at all levels of healthcare in the region. When it comes to childcare, we can see that the Health Vision 2050 has delineated a number of priorities. It focuses providing balanced nutrition, especially for mothers, pregnant women and children, Maternal healthcare, including antenatal care, postnatal care, deliveries and birth spacing; Child health care, including growth monitoring, control of diarrheal diseases, and acute respiratory infections" says Dr. Doaa Said, Managing Director of Maarefah Management, which is organising Oman International Paediatric Congress, next month in Muscat.
The Health Vision 2050 of Oman, also aims to Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) strategy, which will focus on immunization against childhood diseases, selected infectious disease and school health, is a vital part of primary health care in the country.
In addition to these, prevention, control and treatment of common diseases and injuries will also be accentuated under the country's Health Vision 2050. According to a 2018 report by BMJ Paediatrics Open on Childhood injuries in Oman, over 30% injury admissions to hospitals in were children 0–15 years of age. The high incidence of falls, home injuries and burns, highlight the need for age-targeted interventions and injury control programmes.
The three-day congress happening on 10-12 October at Grand Millennium Muscat will host experts and key opinion leaders to deliberate on key issues and controversial topics in child health. The various panel discussion, workshops, and networking sessions will facilitate insightful debates on the most strategic issues regarding pathogenesis, management and prevention of serious paediatric disorders. The topical presentations will shed light on current issues and recent advances in metabolic and genetic disorders, paediatric neurology nutrition, gastroenterology, Paediatric dermatology, infectious diseases and vaccines, behavioural disorders and more.
The Oman International Paediatric Congress is supported by Oman Paediatric Society and Oman Medical Association.

That fire, they said, was red as red as redas red as a fox, your lips, a cherry;that fire, they said spread and spread and spread,faster than a cheetah or a nasty rumour;
I feel it, first as a stir,turning deep in the murky water.Surfaces up for air, a twitchon the lake in my head.A flip, and it disappears.
The biggest berries are in the centreof a tunnel of thorny bushes.A shark gaping wide,promising not to nip.
We watch them, hypnotized.Pale and mysterious,They rise and fall. Joe says"They look like ghosts."
I am in a forest;My brothers will never find me here.Over my head is a green umbrella;I feel the earth under my bare feet.
The seagulls are doing their dance again – Wings clasped to their sides, they stare up the street.Up and down, up and down, go their knobbly pink knees;
Spring is baby,bright, fresh and new,gurgling with the melting snow,singing with the first cuckoo.
I am a crocodile who lost my smile in the turbulent waters of the Nile.When I was very small, trapped inside my crocodile egg,
Teach me the language of Cat;the slow-motion blink, that crystal stare,a tight-lipped purr and a wide-mouthed hiss.Let me walk with a saunter, nose in the air.
The moon was married last nightand nobody saw,dressed up in her ghostly dressfor the summer ball.

The Small Things is Committed to:
Family Preservation
Residential Care
Our Family Preservation Program
The Small Things helps strengthen families and empowers the community…
while dramatically increasing the reunification rate for children living in orphanages or outside the home. A testament to the program's success, the family reunification rate (just 5-10% without support) has climbed to more than 50% by age 5 and is expected to hit 80% by secondary school – an impressive increase of well over 1,000% since 2010.
We are in the business of giving chances, not charity.
Our work has helped more than 300 children stay in their families over the last five years alone – at a maximum cost of only about $75/month/family. Families enter our program with an average monthly income of around $7 and with business development support, they can triple their income within 2-3 months. Our hardworking clients graduate from the program once they have grown their businesses enough to consistently generate sufficient sustainable profit to care for the family without requiring additional assistance. For most families, that happens with an average monthly income of around $100 – a 1,400% increase from their starting point! At our community center, we also provide adult education programs, offer sliding-scale daycare and have a library that's open to the community. Through these programs, we're able to help adults get to work and allow them to keep enriching and empowering the community as a whole. TST's work demonstrates how much children benefit and thrive when their families and communities do too!
Residential Care
Coalition Work
Original Orphanage Partnership
When TST founder Bekka Ross Russell was working as a volunteer in 2010, she and Mama Pendo, the head of Nkoaranga Orphanage, shared a vision for a different future for the kids – one that kept vulnerable and orphaned children in their families and provided loving residential care for those at-risk. This became the impetus for founding TST and growing it over the next several years. Empirical research and experience on the ground confirms that family preservation can be achieved by creating sustainable, participatory, and evolving care plans that strengthen the community's long-term capacity and by working one-on-one with surviving relatives. And who better to facilitate that work than the women who know the children best?
TST is committed to investing in local institutions
In the past year, we have begun accepting younger children into Happy Family Children's Village, as part of the goal of providing maximum continuity of care for children in residence. While we continue to offer support to Nkoaranga Orphanage, in 2019 we are moving away from intensive support for a single organization, and pivoting to working with a number of different partners in a coalition structure. Our ultimate goal is to create a network of orphan care organizations in Tanzania, who come together to create a free, open-source set of program modules. Each of these will consist of all the paperwork, best practices, sample forms, and rules and regulations to start or improve particular programs, and are especially useful for existing residential homes looking to pivot towards doing more family preservation work.
We also hope to use this network to facilitate cooperative resources for organizations in a local area, for instance with several organizations banding together to share roles like counsellor, special education teacher, or medical professional, for which it would be prohibitively expensive for each organization to hire their own specialist. Finally, we hope to use shared standards and peer visits between different organizations to enable some type of credentialing system, empowering donors to distinguish and identify reputable organizations following best practices. This will become even more important in the coming years, as the worldwide orphan-care community and the Tanzanian social welfare department in particular move more aggressively away from traditional institutionalization and towards family-based care. Please see our research summary for more details on the evidence supporting this approach to raising orphaned and vulnerable children.
Happy Family Children's Village
Kids simply deserve loving, family-style homes, deeply embedded in the community.
In 2016, our dream of secure futures for all our children finally became a reality when TST's Happy Family Children's Village, a complex containing multiple family-style homes and a large community center, officially opened its doors. Guided by a shared belief that all children deserve to be happy, TST partnered with Shazi Visram, founder and CEO of Happy Family Organics.
"I believe that all children deserve to be happy and oftentimes that starts with the little things, like access to nutritious food and a proper education," says Shazi Visram, founder, CEO and Chief Mom of Happy Family. "I founded my company upon these principles and I remain committed and passionate about issues surrounding raising happy, healthy children. My family, together with my company, Happy Family, intends to support and nurture these young lives and ultimately help them unleash their fullest potentials."
Happy Family Organics sponsored construction of the children's village. It was built in loving memory of Shazi's father, Amir Visram, a native of Tanzania who brought his family to America in search of a better life. It now houses over 40 children, ranging from 2 to 18 years.
