Deane Allyn and Mary Fran Carroll were more than pillars of the community. They were leaders and pioneers of their generation and gender, who literally reshaped the landscape of Manatee and Sarasota counties in positive, long-lasting ways.
Both women, who were in their nineties, died last week. They will be missed, of course, but the memories of them and their substantial legacies live on.
Allyn retired to Sarasota in 1976 and, like so many other retirees, she soon pursued a new cause that made her golden years meaningful to her and the community.
She led a fundraising campaign aimed at acquiring the historic but tired building once known as the Edwards Theatre. The goal was to purchase and gradually restore the structure to house the Sarasota Opera.
Hers was a risky proposition. The opera company was a small-time operation and downtown Sarasota was in decline. What's more, money was tight and she wanted to raise $12 million, according to longtime Sarasotan Bob Johnson.
The money was raised and Allyn became the chief executive of the company, setting the Sarasota Opera on an upward trajectory.
"There would be no opera today without her," Johnson told Jay Handelman of the Herald-Tribune last week. At the least, the quality of the company and the Opera House would not exist as we know them.
Likewise, Carroll was the early chief executive of a company -- Schroeder Manatee Ranch -- that transformed our region.
Following a career in banking, which was also Allyn's trade, Carroll was responsible for turning a massive ranching operation in east Manatee County into a large, thriving master-planned community -- now known as Lakewood Ranch.
Also like Allyn, Carroll operated in a business dominated by men. But Carroll's indomitable spirit, clear vision and keen intellect enabled her to create an organization adept at long-term planning and sustained financial success.
Carroll believed not only in real-estate development, but in economic development -- and volunteered in countless efforts to promote job creation and viable communities. "She had that ability to get along with people from all walks of life," John Clarke, Carroll's congenial successor at SMR, told Josh Salman of the Herald-Tribune last week.
Both Allyn and Carroll were one of a kind, yet they demonstrated strikingly similar commitments to excellence in their business endeavors and community. We were fortunate to have had them.

Marc and Gracie Hadden recently returned to the unusual place where their special daddy-daughter bond first took hold: The back of the ambulance where she was born.
The retired firefighter from the Myrtle Beach Fire Department recently took his 5-year-old daughter to the very same vehicle where their incredible story began.

"Right here in this very spot is where I held you for the very first time. How cool is that?," he told her.
He added: "Gracie and I just have a major bond."
Their story began in November 2011 when Hadden, then a firefighter and EMT, was responding to a 911 call about a woman with severe abdominal pain.
"As soon as we got there, we learned that it was a little bit more than abdominal pain," he told Inside Edition. "She said that she was pregnant. Pretty much, delivery happened right after that."
He helped deliver a baby girl in the back of his ambulance and couldn't wait to tell his wife, Beth.
"He sent a text message saying, 'I just delivered a baby,' and I was so excited for him," Beth Hadden recalled. "I was like, 'Oh, did we get to keep her!?' literally joking around at that point, and he said, 'Well, I don't know.'"
While filling out routine paperwork at the hospital, he overheard something that would change their lives forever.
"We overheard the doctor telling the nurses that the baby's gonna be put up for adoption," he said. "I started getting pretty excited at that point."
In less than 48 hours, the Haddens, who already had two boys, Will and Parker, went from a family of four to a family of five.

"I kept looking at Marc and going, 'Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! We're having a baby,'" Beth recalled.
Gracie loves playing with her big brothers and they say she has "quite a spirit." She's also quite aware of the unusual circumstances of her birth.
"I was born in an ambulance," she said. "My daddy delivered me."

Are your clients on the leading edge of the benefits evolution?
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Today's workforce is very different than it was 10 or even five years ago. What employees are looking for in terms of benefits continues to evolve as their needs and expectations change. Making sure your clients' organization's benefit offerings are able to meet these changing needs and expectations can have a significant positive impact on your client's ability to recruit and retain in a competitive talent marketplace.
The primary change in the benefits market is one of focus. Benefits used to take the wide view, providing standardized offerings communicated to employees via standardized, mass mailings or emails. Service and support were provided by large call centers, where employees were all treated the same way. From the employer perspective, one of the major focuses of benefits plans, especially health plans, was to contain costs.
But as employees have become more involved and informed partners in their healthcare, what they're demanding from their health insurance benefits has changed. Rather than a standardized set of benefits offerings and a generic service and support experience, they seek more targeted, personalized options.
Medical opinion and decision support services can play a key role in providing employees with both the personalized information and support they want and the evidence-based information they need to make informed medical decisions. In addition, these services also can help address employer concerns about healthcare costs by guiding employees to the most appropriate care and best healthcare providers, which lowers the risk of costly medical errors, duplicative and unnecessary diagnostic testing and inappropriate treatment. Employers and organizations also benefit when employees receive the most appropriate care because both absenteeism and presenteeism are reduced, which decreases the costs associated with lost productivity and hiring temporary or permanent replacement employees to cover for those who are ill or injured and unable to work.
When expert medical opinion and decision support services were first developed, they were primarily delivered through insurers and administrators in the form of case management or mandatory second surgical opinion programs. These services were structured primarily to save the insurer money in claims payouts and employees quickly figured this out. Many viewed these services with skepticism and suspicion, feeling that the goal of cost containment was not necessarily in the best interest of their health and wellbeing.
In response, an industry of third-party medical opinion and decision support services emerged. These firms sought to provide an independent and comprehensive solution that delivered unbiased reviews of a diagnosis or treatment plan and recommendations of physician and facilities that were best suited to provide the needed care. Most of these services worked by referring employees to a physician or facility in their database and many are handled entirely online.
While these services do provide some valuable information and support to employees, they don't offer the personalization employees want and need to navigate an increasingly complex health system and the overwhelming amount of medical information, some of it accurate, but much of it questionable, available on the internet. So now employers are looking for resources and partners that can improve and personalize the employee health experience. The 2017 Willis Towers Watson Employer Trends in Health Care Survey found that 96% of the large employers who responded to the survey view the improvement of the employee health experience as a top priority over the next two to three years. Respondents cited improved employee engagement, increased employee satisfaction with their health plan, an improved employee value proposition, and a direct positive impact on long-term healthcare costs as the reasons they're working to improve employee health and wellbeing programs.
What the next generation of healthcare decision support services looks like
Moving forward, both employers and employees want a champion — someone who can deliver a deeper, more personalized healthcare experience for employees, which in turn builds both employee satisfaction and loyalty to the employer and helps ensure that employees get the care and support needed to stay healthy and on the job.
To achieve these goals, what employers should look for in the next generation of healthcare decision support services is:
· Personalization: The employee and his or her needs and wants are the central focus. Support and services should be provided by an experienced, dedicated adviser who not only provides referrals to curated physician experts and centers of excellence, but also works with and supports the employee from end to end, providing the latest evidence based information and support to help employees make healthcare decisions.
· Rapid response: Diagnosis and care plan review, research and facilitated access to healthcare providers should happen within days, not weeks.
· Coordinated communication: The healthcare decision support team should coordinate all communication and referrals between the employee, healthcare providers, health plans, TPAs, EAP and other health benefit vendors. Coordinated communication helps lower the risk of misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis, medical errors, inappropriate care, missed follow-ups on test results and treatment plans, and unnecessary testing and treatment.

HOW DOES ONE FIND THE RIGHT PAIR OF JEANS? Before discussing wash and fit, the most important thing to remember when buying denim trousers is that you feel comfortable and confident in them
As they are more like second skin they will fade and change as you do your daily activities choose the one you can wear to almost every place and pair with the rest of your wardrobe. Tapered trousers in dark wash are always the safest option, but ripped denim pants are in-trend, too, these days. In terms of shape, if you have a bigger built, slightly looser trousers will do your figure justice, but the similar looser feel also works out for those with chicken legs. Always choose a pair in a smaller size as they will stretch over time, and don't forget to ask the preshrunken ones to avoid unexpected shrink.

Diet Pills Online
Doctors usually prescribe them only if your BMI is 30 or higher, or if it's at least 27 and you have a condition that may be related to your weight, like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
Here's what you should know about the most common prescription weight loss drugs: xenical, bontril, phentermine, meridia, , and efedrine.
Before you get a weight loss drug prescription, tell your doctor about your medical history. That includes any allergies or other conditions you have; medicines or supplements you take (even if they're herbal or natural); and whether you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to get pregnant soon.
Diet pills buy online without prescription - best pill for Weight Loss
With so many diet pills on the market today, it's almost impossible to figure out which ones actually work. But that's where we come in.
With the largest database of diet pills and access to the lowest prices, we have handpicked the best-selling diet pills on the market each protected by our Leading 100% Money Back Guarantee!
Approved for long-term use? Yes.
Side effects include abdominal cramping, passing gas, leaking oily stool, having more bowel movements, and not being able to control bowel movements.
These side effects are generally mild and temporary. But they may get worse if you eat high-fat foods.
Rare cases of severe liver injury have been reported in people taking orlistat, but it's not certain that the drug caused those problems.
What else you should know: You should be on a low-fat diet (less than 30% of your daily calories from fat) before taking orlistat.
Also, take a multivitamin at least 2 hours before or after taking xenical, because the drug temporarily makes it harder for your body to absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Xenical is the only drug of its kind that's approved in the U.S. All other prescription weight loss drugs curb your appetite, including the following.

Sun shines on the Year of Young People
Children and young people from across South Ayrshire had fun in the sun recently as they headed to the beach to celebrate the Year of Young People 2018.
The Council worked with the South Ayrshire Youth Forum, South Ayrshire Young Scot and Girvan Youth Trust to organise 'Beach Days' in Troon, Ayr and Girvan.
The outings were a great success with over 300 children, young people and families participating in a range of fun activities including volley ball, archery, football, hand ball, music and dancing.
The beach days were also an opportunity for the Youth Forum to highlight the issue of littering. Rubbish left on our beaches is unsightly and can be a danger to people, pets and wildlife, so the young people encouraged other beach users to use the bins provided or take their rubbish away with them.
Councillor William Grant, Youth Champion for South Ayrshire Council said:" The beach days were a great idea for everybody to have fun and try new activities but I'm so pleased young people are also doing their bit to tackle the scourge of littering.
"It's inspirational when we can work with enthusiastic young people to help get our messages across. I'm sure young people in South Ayrshire will continue to do us proud over the coming months as we celebrate their aspirations and achievements during YOYP 2018."
Jessica Hartshorn Chair of the Youth Forum said: "Young people continue to raise litter as an issue in South Ayrshire, but to solve littering there has to be a change of mindset. The Youth Forum has been working on some creative ways to encourage people to use bins such as rewarding young people who have disposed of their litter correctly."

Pakistan: More polio cases if resistance continues; Islamic clerics say those who die of polio are 'martyrs'
An update on this story. "More polio cases if resistance continues: NIH, WHO," from the Daily Times, with thanks to Twostellas:
ISLAMABAD: The National Institute of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) fear that more polio cases will crop up in the Bajaur and Malakand agencies since workers are denied access to children amid threats by Taliban-backed clerics, Daily Times learnt on Monday.A senior official at the NIH said that health authorities had confirmed yet another polio case in the Nowshera. He said that the polio victim was originally from the Bajaur Agency. In addition, the Health Ministry has also reported three more confirmed polio cases in urban and rural Sindh.
The clerics, including Tehreek Nifaz Shariat-e-Muhammadi (TNSM) leader Maulana Fazlullah and his supporters in the Malakand Agency, have been 'warning' people during sermons in mosques or through illegal FM radio stations not to administer polio drops to their children since it was against religious norms and brought infertility. Maulana Fazlullah is the son-in-law of Maulana Sufi Muhammad, ex-chief of the TNSM.
To complete the polio immunisation drive, the WHO and the Ministry of Health are contemplating enlisting the help of the district/tehsil and union council nazims, political and religious leaders, public representatives and tribal elders, sources said.
Some religious leaders in the Bajaur and Malakand agencies are telling the people not to get their children vaccinated since the practice is un-Islamic, and that those that die of polio would be considered martyrs.

Dr Catherine Hamlin is an obstetrician and gynaecologist. She and her late husband, Dr Reg Hamlin, co-founded a hospital in Addis Ababa where more than 34,000 women have been given free treatment for obstetric fistula (a childbirth injury): an amazing story told in her 2001 biography, The hospital by the river.
Her work was featured in the award-winning 2007 documentary A walk to beautiful, and in 2009 she was awarded the Right Livelihood Award – often referred to as the alternate Nobel Prize.
Sally Ryan met Dr Hamlin at a fundraising event for her Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia organisation in Sydney in 2012 where she plucked up the courage to ask if she would sit for a portrait before returning to Ethiopia.
'Catherine Hamlin is such a distinguished woman, whose manners reflect the formalities of a bygone age. Therefore, I felt I must paint her in a classic realist style after being so captivated by the beautiful paintings of the great masters I saw in the Louvre, also of a bygone era.
'The woollen shawl (which includes the green, yellow and red of the Ethiopian flag) is handmade by volunteers in Australia. It is typical of the shawls given to and treasured by the women treated at the hospital.'
Ryan lives and works in Sydney. A former graphic designer and teacher, she has been painting full-time since 2010.

Rareform was founded on the simple and timeless idea that one man's trash is another man's treasure. By taking used billboard material and repurposing it, Rareform not only helps to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, it creates a durable and water-resistant material for the company's line of bags, cases, and accessories too.
In addition to surfboard cases, duffle bags, totes, and wallets, Rareform has recently released a line of everyday backpacks including the new Summit pack ($75). The medium-sized bag (think school backpack or daypack) features padded shoulder straps and water bottle sleeves on each side of the pack. The Summit also includes a 15" padded laptop sleeve inside the roomy main compartment and an open external pocket that's great for stuffing jackets, hats, or other essentials.
The repurposed billboard material used on the front and sides of the Summit pack not only creates a durable, water-resistant exterior for the bag, it also gives each backpack a unique look that allows people to show off their individual style – not to mention their commitment to having a positive impact on the planet.
In addition to upcycling used billboard material for their products, Rareform is also part of 1% For the Planet, an organization made up of business that donate 1% of their sales to help protect the environment. The company also partners with Swipe for Humanity, which redirects 50 percent of the credit card fees for every Rareform purchase to the Kind Campaign that's helping to promote kindness in schools across the country.
That's a lot of good packed into one backpack.

I've been meaning to post something for a couple of months now and just never get around to it.
Two months ago, almost exactly, I finally made it into the doc for a physical. I also mentioned the chronic heart burn and swallowing issues, and this spot on top of my left foot I was wondering about.
As for my general health - I'm healthy. I should lose some weight, which I do want to do. My blood pressure was elevated, as I expected (I've had high BP as long as I can remember and had been under treatment until I let my prescriptions run out and never got back to the doc). My blood work was generally good. I'm disease free. My 'bad' cholesterol levels are *just* over the line into elevated, and my 'good' cholesterol levels are *just* a tad low. Some more exercise and diet tweaks should take care of that. For the high BP I've been back on metoprolol (ala lopressor) and hydrochlorothiazide since the visit. I've been back for a couple of checkups and my BP is coming down nicely.
As for the GI issues, I'd previously been on Zantac. That helped, but only reduced the problem and didn't really eliminate it. I used to have heartburn *all the time*. I ate Tums several times a day, ever day - or just about. I'd wake up often at night from the pain and have a Tums to get back to bed. I kept a large bottle of Tums Ultra on my desk (well, still do) and used them often. I like spicy food, as many folks know, but I'd cut WAY down on spicy stuff - and it really didn't help. I could have cereal in milk and have heart burn. Anything really. Fruit, especially citrus, was bad news. I love OJ - and drinking it was instant pain. Just before going to the doctor I'd indulged in habanero stuffed olives - and the first one I swallowed got most of the way down, and then it felt like a hot knife in my chest. It made me cry out. Generally, it sucked.
So the suspicion was that I had a hiatal hernia and generally GERD. Since the Zantac hadn't been enough this time I took the option of a proton pump inhibitor - Protonix. And, goddamn if it doesn't work like a dream. I've only had a *hint* of heartburn twice in two months, and that was after eating spicy food. I think I've had 4 Tums, total, in that time - each time I got a little hit I took them right away and that was that. I used to have 4 Tums *a day*, if not more. The swallowing problem isn't as bad, likely because my esophagus isn't being constantly irritated by acid, so it isn't inflamed. In fact, 'not as bad' is more like, 'hardly happens at all'. This is some good shit, huzzah for modern medicine!
Anyway, we didn't just throw pills at it. About a month ago I went and had a barium swallow test. Basically you get video x-rayed while swallowing barium, which coats the GI tract and reveals details on the x-ray. You do it facing the x-ray, facing away, sideways, laying down, etc. The barium was a thick liquid, pretty much tasteless. It was oddly like drinking a milkshake that was warm, yet not melted. The coolest part was watching myself swallow on the monitor, the second coolest part was the wall-slash-table the imager was in. To do the transition they had me stand against the wall, then it rotated 90 degrees to horizontal, and I'm laying down. That was cool, and a funky sensation. Then last week I went in for another test where I ate radioactive eggs and then they watched how my stomach processed them. Basically they made scrambled eggs seasons with technicium. The test itself was dull - lay there for 30 minutes, wait 25, lay down another 5, wait 25, 5, 25, 5, 25. I basically spent the morning loitering around UMass, wandering the halls to pass the time between imaging sessions. The one thing is, as some of you know, I HATE EGGS. I didn't know it involved eating a bit plate of eggs until I got there. But such is life, it wasn't too bad, I choked them down. It was made worse by the fact that you can't drink anything, you just have to eat the eggs as is. I wish I'd know, I'd've brought some Tabasco.
So, anyway, the end result is that, yes, I have a small hiatal hernia. And something else that I've forgotten the name off. It amounts to a ring of thickened, toughened tissue at the bottom of the esophagus - the body's response to the constant irritation. The next step is to get a referral to a gastroenerologist who will stick an endoscope down my throat and take a visual look at it. Then they'll decide if it is worth burning away some/all of the ring with a laser (LASER!) or just leaving it be. The hernia is small so it probably won't warrant surgery to correct, but we'll know more after the look. (In fact, I saw my doc last Thursday and they were going to schedule that and get back to me - and I haven't heard yet, maybe I should call tomorrow.)
(Speaking of lasers, my copy of Deflexion arrived last week. Must play it soon.)
As for my foot, for several years there has been this small, tough spot on the top of my left foot. A while back I caught it on a loose staple under the front of my couch. And when it healed, it just kind of stayed that way. And I could never be sure if there was something there I'd missed that was caught, or if it resulted from that, etc. I kept forgetting to ask a doc about it since it isn't a major issue, but I started thinking about the possibility of skin cancer or something, so I made a note and did it this time. At first we thought it might be a wart, but it didn't seem to be, so he had another doc look at it and it seemed to be a dermata fibroma. So they did a biopsy, and yep, the lab said it was. What is it? Apparently sometimes the body over-reacts to something like a cut, insect bite, etc, and when it heals the tissue is kind of like a callus. Basically toughened skin that is fibrous. Well, that seems to be what happened. Nothing to worry about, and I opted not to bother trying to remove it. Basically they said they could try to freeze it off, but it might just heal the way it is again, or bigger, and it isn't dangerous or anything. So I'll leave it alone.
So, in summary, I'm generally healthy. I need to lose some weight. My BP is responding well to the medication. My heartburn/GERD is responding VERY well to medication. And I'm feeling better than I have in a while, especially not being in constant pain and all. :-)

With its own facility, people and infrastructure, Vision Coatings will be able to extend its capabilities even further in the years ahead.
WOODBRIDGE, Ontario (PRWEB) November 05, 2018
The Vision Group of Companies (Vision Group) announced today the official launch of a new division within its expanding family of companies, called Vision Coatings Limited (Vision Coatings). The new entity, which is an offshoot of Sunview Patio Doors (Sunview), will provide high-volume finishing services for extrusion companies, window fabricators, and others in the industry.
Demand for colour and finishing options in fenestration markets has escalated in recent years. However, many manufacturers struggle to deliver coated components on time and with consistent quality. Over the years, Sunview has offered these services externally on an "as available" basis. However, with the continually growing demand, the Vision Group decided to establish a separate organization focused on finishing as a service in the largest dedicated coating facility in the country.
Located in the heart of Vaughan's business park, in the Greater Toronto Area, Vision Coatings is strategically situated among the Vision Group's other Ontario-based subsidiaries and just minutes from major highways allowing shorter lead-times and faster delivery. The company operates in a brand new 50,000 sq. ft. facility with a proven high-volume workflow; a 2,000 sq. ft. custom-designed spray booth enclosure to handle virtually any colour or size requirement; and a robust materials handling system. The facility also features its UV ToughCoat technology, a state-of-the-art, automated coating system that is AAMA 615 certified and offers high-volume production, superior heat-resistance, extreme durability, and a broad spectrum of colour choices.
"Vision Coatings is a high-growth opportunity for the Vision Group and aligns perfectly with the expanding needs of the markets we serve," said Vic De Zen, Chairman, and Founder of the Vision Group of Companies. "Vision Coatings has a strong, experienced team already in place and is equipped with some of the most advanced technologies in the world. Also, the new facility sits in the middle of one of the largest extrusion hubs in North America making it very convenient for our many partners in the area. We're very proud to introduce Vision Coatings and look forward to better serving the needs of our current and future customers."
According to Tony Margiotta, President of Vision Coatings Limited, "we have always had a strong paint and coating operation at Sunview Patio Doors, but when we invested in the UV ToughCoat system several years ago, it significantly raised the bar on our quality, turnaround times and flexibility. Shortly after some of our clients and people from other Vision Group divisions saw what it could do, they began asking if they could outsource their finishing with us. It finally reached the point where it made sense to establish a separate company to better serve the market." Margiotta continued, "now with its own facility, people and infrastructure, Vision Coatings will be able to extend its capabilities even further in the years ahead."
Vision Coatings officially launches and begins operations in its new location at 3-150 New Huntington Road in Vaughan Ontario today.

Ways To Entertain Guests At A Wedding?
With all the planning that has to go behind to set up a beautiful wedding, it is really no surprise to find out that some people often forget about those little details that go a long way to create the perfect wedding. It is perfectly understandable wanting to forego a few things here and there to focus on the actual ceremony itself, but there are certain areas that you should never ignore, no matter how small your budget may be or whether you have to work within a very limited timeframe.
One such area that you shouldn't ignore would be the one related to keeping your guests happy throughout the duration of the ceremony. After all, it isn't the sheer number of guests that will make your wedding a success: even if you had a very low attendance, a wedding can be considered successful if all of your guests leave with big smiles on their faces.
If you are currently lacking ideas to entertain your wedding guests, be sure to check the following list for some very useful tips:
Outdoor Games
If your chosen venue permits you to do so, consider arranging some outdoor games after the main ceremony. Sure, it may sound like something kids would do, but even grown-ups can enjoy this kind of activity once in a while. An example would be a large scale version of snakes and ladders or even chess.
A Magic Performance
Performing magic tricks at a wedding ceremony surely sound unusual (and it really is!). Nevertheless, a decently set up magic show will attract all kinds of guests to keep them entertained for quite a long period of time. Even simple tricks like card and coin illusions, or pulling a rabbit out of the hat can be considered, but remember to throw in a little surprise in the end for everyone!
Have a Live Performance
This can prove to be a little on the expensive side, but hiring a live function band Brisbane can prove to be a hit with certain guests at a wedding party. Furthermore, you don't have to worry about providing additional music anymore, as the band will take care of it for the duration of the ceremony.
Purchase a Package
If you are having trouble finding something unique to entertain your guests, you could ask the inn or reception hall to see whether they provide any decent party package of their own. This is also a great way to save costs, as separate party entertainment hire Brisbane can prove to be expensive if you are on a tight budget.
As always, make sure you don't just concentrate on your guests' entertainment all the time, and that you take your time to arrange all other wedding activities as well!

Brittany has its own special festive legends and traditions associated with this major religious holiday. The Breton word for Christmas is Nedeleg.
The feast of Saint-Nicolas, who after his death was transformed into the legendary character we know as Santa Claus, or Le père Noël in France, falls on December 6.
" Chantons Noël pour une pomme , pour une poire , pour un petit coup de cidre à boire " This translates roughly as: "Christmas, sing for an apple, for a pear, for a little shot of cider to drink"
Their song was rewarded with pennies or candies, presumably they were considered too young to drink!
In Brittany "sabots de noël", Christmas French clogs , were filled with red apples called a "paradise apple" or an orange. Excited children would wake early to find their special gifts on Christmas morning.
By the time twelfth stroke has sounded it returns to its place. Woe to the unwary who, dazzled by the riches revealed, have forgotten the time and are crushed!
The huge buche or "Kef Nedeleg" in Breton was slow burning as it needed to last several days over the festive period. The embers of the log had purported medicinal virtues and were also believed to provide protection against lightning and snakes.
Guests were offered coals in sabots to take with them upon their return home.
Spruce is the traditional Christmas tree in Brittany. In Breton it is called "ar wezenn Nedeleg". Celts dedicated themselves to this tree on the winter solstice and called it "the tree of childbirth".

Spying on the spy: Raw Story interviews former FBI investigator Eric ONeill
At various times throughout his double-agent career at the FBI, Hanssen served as the head of the Soviet Analytical Squad, the chief of the National Security Threat List Unit, part of the Bureaus computer espionage squad, and even part of the State Departments Office of Foreign Missions. By all accounts he was an outstanding computer technician, even a hacker according to some, and a brilliant analyst. But he was also as enigmatic a person as counter-intelligence has ever encountered.
Hanssen was a devout Catholic, a member of the controversial and influential conservative religious group known as Opus Dei; he was fiercely anti-Communist, a good father, a good husband, and mostly an underachiever, seemingly by choice. At the same time, Hanssen was also selling the most sensitive information from across several US intelligence agencies to the Russians, making pornographic films of his unsuspecting wife and later showing them to his friends, and masturbating at work to images of screen goddesses such as Catherine Zeta-Jones. For the information he provided to the Russians, he got comparatively little compensation, roughly $1.4 million in cash and diamonds.
According to a 2003 Department of Justice Inspector Generals report, what Hanssen sold included some of the most classified and guarded information in the US government:
During the next six years the last stages of the Cold War Hanssen delivered thousands of pages of highly classified documents and dozens of computer disks to the KGB detailing U.S. strategies in the event of nuclear war, major developments in military weapons technologies, identities of active and historical U.S. assets in the Soviet intelligence services, the locations of KGB defectors in the United States, analytical products from across the Intelligence Community, comprehensive budget and policy documents, and many other aspects of the Soviet counterintelligence program. (A Review of the FBI's Performance in Deterring, Detecting, and Investigating the Espionage Activities of Robert Philip Hanssen)
Although he managed to avoid detection for over 20 years, by 2000 an FBI task force was well in place and focusing exclusively on Hanssen. They only needed to catch him in the act of making what is called a dead drop for the Soviets.
Enter Eric ONeill, a 27 year old FBI investigator on the Bureaus Special Surveillance Group, specializing in surveillance of terrorism suspects. ONeill was assigned to be Hanssens assistant in a newly formed FBI computer squad. It was largely ONeills attention to detail and confidence that provided the smoking gun needed to bring Hanssen in and led to his arrest on February 18, 2001.
O'Neill on the film, Breach
ONeills riveting account of what transpired between himself and Hanssen over that final crucial period is the basis for the film Breach, released in theaters to high critical acclaim early this year. ONeill is portrayed by Ryan Phillipe and Hanssen by Chris Cooper in an astonishing performance that, according to those who knew the spy, is chillingly accurate.
RAW STORY's managing editor for investigative news and frequent reporter on intelligence and national security, Larisa Alexandrovna, caught up with ONeill to discuss his role in the capture of Hanssen, the PROMIS software, the Valerie Plame leak, and other topics involving espionage and government secrecy.
Even though O'Neill never had experience going face-to-face with a "target," he was trained as a "ghost," able to follow someone closely for weeks, "but you would never know I was there."
Along with exposing the identities of foreign agents the US had "turned," According to O'Neill, Hanssen "gave the Russians our nuclear information, information about agents and assets working penetration, he even gave them the source code to the FBIs automated case system program."
Although he doesn't think there is any "correlation" between the Hanssen and Plame cases, O'Neill tells RAW STORY "a journalist that knowingly or negligently releases/reveals classified information should face federal prosecution."
O'Neill also believes "there are still moles in government agencies."
"Id like to think that Hanssen was the last FBI mole, but thats probably wishful thinking," O'Neill said. "I do think that the Hanssen case made the FBI more sound better able to screen for spies, and better able to catch them once they activate."
O'Neill added, "I think there will always be spies, for the same reason there will always be crime. Some people are so morally broken they see no problem with taking the easy road at the cost of others."
Raw Story: Nice to meet you, Eric.
Eric ONeill: Yes, nice to meet you as well
RS: Lets begin with the obvious question, for me anyway: Why were you picked to get close to Hanssen? You were not an FBI agent, but an operative for the FBI working toward becoming an agent. Is that correct?
EO: I was a member of a group of specialized FBI investigators called the SSG, Special Surveillance Group. It was [essentially] based on the [British] MI5 model
We were intelligence investigators in [the equivalent of] counterintelligence and handled such things as surveillance work
using technology to target suspects, as well as penetration work, data collection, etc.
RS: But you were on your way to becoming an agent?
EO: Well, there are two separate tracks; you eventually hit a glass ceiling as an investigator. I originally applied to the FBI for the Special Agents class. At the time I was 22 years old and was told that 22 was too young to become a Special Agent. Instead, I was offered a position with the Special Surveillance Group a group of specially trained counter intelligence and counter terrorism operatives who focus on clandestine vehicular and foot surveillance of foreign nationals and American citizens known or suspected of spying or terrorism. The FBI made a decision to create squads of SSG Investigative Specialists in order to overcome an institutional problem that Special Agents have always had with surveillance. SSG are called ghosts. When an Investigative Specialist is ghosting a target, we are invisible.
RS: And the schooling and training are comparable to that of Special Agents?
EO: SSG are graduates of the FBI Academy in Quantico, VA, carry FBI credentials and badges, and conduct much of the same investigative work the Agents carry out. The singular distinctions are that SSG personnel do not carry firearms and do not make arrests. The goal of SSG is to follow a target without ever being seen. I eventually wanted to re-apply to Special Agents class, which would require me to return to the FBI Academy.
RS: Did you have the requisite skill set to be face to face with someone like Hanssen? You had no training for this in counter intelligence operations of this nature, did you? I am trying to understand why you were picked for this assignment at such a young age and with limited training in this particular field.
EO: Investigative specialists are highly trained in counterintelligence and I was working for the FBI at that point for about 5 years. But I did not have any experience with [being face to face] with a target. I was a ghost, what is called a ghost. I could follow you for two weeks, Larisa, and know everything about you, but you would never know I was there.
RS: Yes, and I would be very paranoid too.
EO: (Laughs).
RS: So why do you think you were picked?
EO: The FBI really did not have anyone else. Many of our highly trained agents could not sell the job of an information assurance employee. You need someone who has some sort of background in computers. The computer tech guys working for the agency are all well and good [in terms of their skill set], but they are not trained in counter intelligence. If you remember in the film when Ryan [Phillipe] is passing around that database report
the report he was pushing in the film. I really did write that report and it got attention in the FBI. It got Hansens attention. I also think and this might sound controversial that I was picked because I was Catholic. Hansen would not have trusted someone who was not Catholic.
RS: What did the FBI declassify for the film to be made? Your identity, for example, was classified, was it not?
EO: Yes. My role was declassified for the film. I had to get special permission [a waiver] from the FBI. Then once Outlaw [Productions] and [director] Billy Ray were involved, they approached the FBI directly for additional information and, to my incredible shock, for whatever reason, the FBI agents who had run the case spilled everything. Billy Ray would come back to me and tell me what the FBI gave him. I would say, okay, give me a full briefing, and Billy would tell me about the cameras in the room where Hansen and I worked, which was classified stuff.
RS: Much of the information is still classified. Has the true damage of Hanssens espionage been fully calculated in terms of human losses? I know the estimation is around 50, but has the FBI been able to fully gauge the casualties?
EO: Numerous and extensive damage assessments have been done by the various agencies. Committees have been set up. None of it has been released. I am sure they are only beginning to approach some understanding of the damages. He compromised all agencies, the CIA, NSA, etc.
RS: What types of information are we talking about, other than giving up names of agents we had turned?
EO: He gave the Russians our nuclear information, information about agents and assets working penetration, he even gave them the source code to the FBIs automated case system program.
RS: There have been news accounts about the PROMIS software and allegations that Osama Bin Laden had purchased the software from the Russians who had obtained it from Hanssen. Is that true?
EO: I dont know. The FBI has briefed me in generalities, but not [specifics]. I dont even know everything that was in the last drop.
RS: There were seven pages; one was a letter Hanssen had authored to his handlers. Was there more?
EO: Not everything has been released to the public.
RS: But did he give up software to the Russians?
EO: Yes. He did give them software and encrypted it. The KGB did not like that. They have their own way of doing things. But Hanssen was a control [freak]. He set the rules and that kept them guessing as to who he was. For a long time they thought he was working at the CIA because of some of the information he had provided them and that included software from a number of agencies.
RS: But you dont know if any of it was the PROMIS software?
EO: I really dont know.
RS: How was he able to keep them guessing as to the nature of his identity? Did they not watch the drop sites and photograph him, etc?
EO: Its a severe violation of tradecraft to watch the drop sites. A Russian Intelligence Officer (in this case Russian KGB and then SVR) is NEVER in the same place as his/her asset. IOs have to assume that they might have Ghosts on them. If this is the case, and they go stake out drop sites, they are leading FBI to their asset and become responsible for burning the asset.
RS: We know that he gave the names of KGB agents, such as Valery Martynov and Sergei Motorin who were subsequently executed. Do we know if he gave up the names of any CIA officers working overseas?
EO: Thats the thing that really bothers me. For the amount of money he made, he could have given them anything
he did not make that much. He told the Russians that he could not use large amounts of money. So he could have given them anything
but he had no remorse. Yes, he did identify CIA personnel working abroad.
RS: Were any of them compromised or killed?
EO: I dont know if any were killed. But they were compromised. In some ways, being compromised is worse than being killed. You spend your whole life building something
RS: Like a legend
EO: Right and then it falls apart
RS: And the persons life is at risk too
EO: Right. Their cover is blown. Their families are at risk. Or they could be working in the field and Al Qaeda [for example] could know who they really are and feed them disinformation, so that we would not know when the next bombing would be, and that puts even more lives at risk.
RS: Speaking of a national security breach, have you followed the Valerie Plame case?
EO: Yes
RS: Is there any correlation to the Hanssen case in terms of the type of breach of national security this was?
EO: I dont think there is a correlation because Hanssen affected so many areas over a long period of time. There are things only he can tell us and will take a long time to fix. In the Plame case, they know what needs to be fixed and what the damages are. We still dont fully know with Hanssen.
RS: I find it ironic that columnist Robert Novak was used by Hanssen to disseminate information and then again by Karl Rove to disseminate classified information. Do you think there is a risk of journalists being used by foreign agents of influence to create a serious national security breach and, if so, can you think of a case where such a thing occurred?
EO: Cant think of a particular case, but I think this is a severe risk. I think that as journalism becomes more advanced and access to information becomes more and more available, journalists need to be responsible for what they report. I think that a journalist that knowingly or negligently releases/reveals classified information should face federal prosecution.
RS: When does the publics right to know become less important than the governments right to guard information
In your opinion, what is the line that cannot be crossed?
EO: I believe that freedom is the currency we barter in order to guarantee our safety. There is always a tradeoff between complete transparency of government action and the ability to protect a population. If the government cant act on information because the media has already released it, we lose. On the same note, if clandestine operations are compromised because enemy forces are watching about it on CNN before we can act, we lose.
I think that any time the release of information would compromise our global efforts to safeguard lives, that release becomes a breach of security and there should be repercussions. The media has incredible power, and should use it responsibly.
A Religious Spy
RS: Hansen was highly religious (at least overtly) and a member of Opus Dei. It is said by many of his colleagues and associates that he was always trying to recruit them. For example, James Bamford has said that Hanssen had tried to recruit him very aggressively. Did he try to recruit you?
EO: I believe that Hanssen was working to recruit me. In many ways, I was his protégé. The Agents on the case certainly believed this was true, and went so far as to ask me to encourage any recruitment efforts. Obviously if that happened it would be an enormous break in the case.
I think that spying was VERY important to Hanssens sense of self. He felt very emotional about discontinuing his career as one of the more powerful historical spies. I always had the feeling that he really wanted to tell someone, and how much better to leave someone behind to stand in his shoes?
RS: Yet on one hand he is trying to recruit you seemingly into both espionage and Opus Dei. Yet at the same time he entertained his sexual fantasies in the office, did he not? Like for example his now well documented obsession with the actress Catherine Zeta-Jones. Do you think his overtly contradictory and odd behavior was a part of his recruitment of you at times and less about his own deviancy? How did he act toward you?
EO: He acted inappropriately in a number of ways, mostly in invading personal space (psychologically and physically). I think discussions of faith were 1) important to him as a member of Opus Dei he was recruiting me, and 2) an important element of his continued attempts to confirm that he could trust me.
RS: Speaking of Catherine Zeta-Jones, did he ever use his position at the FBI to try to get close to her or use agency resources to gather information about her?
EO: Not that I know of.
RS: Why do you think he did it, spy that is? Was it the fix?
EO: That is what I think. I think he initially did it for the money. He had a growing family to support and his wife Bonnie came from a [family with money]. I think it always bothered him that he had to provide her with a [comparable lifestyle]. So I think he needed the money, but later needed the fix. He was a geek at the FBI. The Russians made him feel important. He was like the kid on the playground who got [his revenge] from the bully that was stealing his lunch money. In his mind anyway. You know, he always said a mans priorities should be God, family, country, then job.
RS: What I never quite understood was that, according to Hansens Russian handler, Victor Cherkashin, documents and items obtained by US authorities after the fall of the Soviet Union contained the garbage bags Hansen used for his dead drops. The bags had his finger prints on them. Why not nab him then? Why go through this elaborate process?
EO: The fingerprints were only partial fingerprints. They were circumstantial at best and did not definitively prove that he had made those drops.
RS: Do you believe there are moles inside the FBI to this day and, if so, do you think the FBI is using the lessons learned from the Hanssen case, or do you think the bureaucratic structure continues to make that difficult?
EO: I believe there are still moles in government agencies. Id like to think that Hanssen was the last FBI mole, but thats probably wishful thinking. I do think that the Hanssen case made the FBI more sound better able to screen for spies, and better able to catch them once they activate.
I think there will always be spies, for the same reason there will always be crime. Some people are so morally broken they see no problem with taking the easy road at the cost of others.
RS: Have you followed the Sibel Edmonds case at all? She identified a mole inside the FBI working for Turkish intelligence. The mole in question is married to a US military officer, and yet neither the woman or her husband were in any way investigated by the FBI for espionage and were allowed to leave the country. Edmonds for her part, was fired and slapped with a state secrets gag. Hanssen made many mistakes that should have set off red flags, yet the agency missed them over and over. Are we seeing a repeat of the agency's failures with Hanssen in the Sibel Edmonds case?
EO: Im not familiar enough with the case to comment intelligently. I do think that Hanssen had some personal problems that probably should have raised suspicions. But he was very good at hiding his spying by manipulating the FBI and the information he passed.
RS: The film is excellent by the way. The PDA scene is exactly what happened in real life, is it not? Can you describe what happened and what you were feeling when you realized you did not know which pocket the PDA was in?
EO: Very close to what happened in real life. I did take his Palm Pilot and had forgotten which pocket of his bag I had taken it from. A very novice mistake, but I was pretty excited that he had finally left his Palm Pilot. In real life I had to run two floors down to a tech team who copied the data. As they were copying, I got a page that Hanssen was returning to the office. I ran up and got it in the bag at the last second but couldnt remember which pocket. As he came through the door, I guessed on a pocket, dropped the Palm Pilot, zipped it up and made it to my desk without him seeing me.
He immediately checked the bag and I sat at my desk worried that Id be shot.
Turns out I got the right pocket.
RS: I know a lot of people find the scene in the woods to be the most important, but for me, the scene with the Palm Pilot was the most important. Maybe its because I know that it is true.
EO: Its funny, but people thought that scene was fictional and the scene in the woods was real, when the reverse was true. I guess its easier to believe in a Hollywood film. But the movie comes incredibly close to what happened.
RS: Why do you think it important for people to see the film and what do you want them to take away from it?
EO: I hope that people see the film and consider what makes a person a moral person. It's easy to sell out, to commit corrupt and damaging acts at the cost of others. I still wonder what societal urge restricts more people from doing this (although Im glad for it). What makes you a good person? If you leave the movie and talk about this with friends and family, the movie has accomplished a great thing it's made people think about the core human values.
RS: You are a National Defense and Homeland Security Attorney now, right?. What does that mean exactly and what types of clients and cases do you handle?
EO: I specialize in government contracts-related work for clients who seek to contract with the Federal and state and local governments. I also provide advice on national security legal issues and government affairs.
RS: Thank you so much Eric for your time and service to the country.
EO: Thank you for the interview, Larisa. I really enjoyed it.

About This Game
The Kenshi project represents a successful combination of RPGs and real-time strategy. There are no characteristic features for this genre - you will not have an artificial increase in certain characteristics. In addition to you and your environment, there are more NPCs in the game. Each of them has his own life and occupation, and they are all on the same level with you. You will not control a hero with a huge life experience or any unique qualities given in a standard set. You are not chosen and not special, but such, like everyone else. To surpass the rest, you will have to make a lot of effort and try hard, but for now, you are no different from the general mass.
The game has an incredibly huge open world, the area of which is about four hundred square meters, so you have the right to go anywhere. The freedom of your character is not limited by any limits. Another feature can be called and the choice of style of the game, which will depend solely on your preferences. Do you want your hero to be good-natured or evil, a thief or a generous Samaritan? Easily! To do this, you will need to download Kenshi, using the convenient menu of our site. You can choose for yourself housing directly in the city or lead a detached existence in the desert. Try to survive here alone or become part of a powerful clan. Be engaged in erection of walls and the present palaces, or conduct destructive activity concerning the competitors and opponents.
If you want your possessions to be intact and secure, build reliable protection. Upgrade your buildings, regularly improve designs and eliminate the slightest shortcomings. To always have enough for acquisitions and other needs, it is necessary to keep under control and conduct business. Your friends can be popular or suffer from attacks, they may also be injured. Try to always come to their rescue. Consider that the game world is incredibly large, it is alive, and is constantly changing. Your actions have a direct impact on the further development of events, and will be guaranteed to affect you. Help yourselves and harm the enemies, act together or alone, because it's not just a game, it's a real simulator of a cruel world, it's not easy to survive.

What do kids need when it comes to dental care? A caring, calm, and perhaps above all, a FUN approach. Taking your little ones to the dentist regularly will help to put them on the path to a lifetime of happy, healthy smiles — and positive experiences at the dental office make all the difference in the world. At Rio Dental & Orthodontics, we know just how important it is to offer dentistry kids can actually look forward to, and that's exactly what we have cultivated in our warm, friendly offices in Farmers Branch and Irving. Keep reading to learn more about why children love visiting us!
Amenities That Make Dentistry Fun
Remember when the toy chest was the most you could look forward to at the dentist? Well, we have upped the game at Rio Dental & Orthodontics. In our fun offices, kids can look forward to a whole host of "extras" that will take their minds off of dental care. We've got a private movie theater where they can sit back and relax with their favorite characters, fun video games to help pass the time in the waiting room (which won't be very long anyway!), free toy prizes, and a fun and friendly staff to help them through the whole process.
Kids love those fun bonuses, and parents love the other little extras — like flexible payment options, two convenient locations, and a comprehensive range of services including dental AND orthodontics. We hope you will just be left with asking yourself one thing… what's not to love at Rio Dental & Orthodontics?
All the Services Children Need
Your child's smile requires a slightly different approach than your own, as they are more vulnerable to cavities as their tooth enamel is developing. Orthodontics are also a significant consideration for developing smiles. Visiting a dental team that is well-versed in the needs of children's smiles will help to ensure that your little one receives the care they need to grow up with a happy, healthy smile.
Some of our treatments that help keep kids smiling big include:
- Checkups and cleanings that help prevent tooth decay and infection
- Tooth-colored fillings to restore your child's teeth in a beautiful way
- Dental sealants and fluoride treatments to keep cavities at bay
- Orthodontic solutions like traditional braces for growing smiles
- Safe, effective sedation dentistry for nervous kiddos
- And many more high-quality services!
Whatever it is your child's smile needs as they grow up, you can feel confident they will receive the best when you partner with our team for excellent, kid-friendly dental care.
Schedule an Appointment Today!
If you are looking for a dental team your little one will actually be eager to visit, don't wait to get in touch with the team at Rio Dental & Orthodontics! We operate in two convenient practices to help make it easier to receive the superior dental care families need to smile for life. Go ahead and contact us today.

Cheers to Cheer Dads:
Cheer dads have the odds stacked against them from the start. With Father's Day right around the corner, we honor cheer dads by bringing five common obstacles to light.
In this video:
Hey, cheer dads! You might not know a lot about cheer, but you signed on for good the minute your child made the team… and that already makes you a pretty cool dad! Cheer might seem easy, but there are some definite obstacles, especially for cheer dads. Like these five things:
1. Seeing cheer as a sport.
Congrats, you've just become a cheer dad! As the coach hands you a hefty packet and practice schedule, you now realize just how involved you have to be. As your cheerleader trains tirelessly for competitions, you start to notice that you're defending this 'not a sport' sport all of a sudden.
2. Glitter.
What a horrible invention! It makes your cheerleader shine bright like a diamond, but it gets EVERYWHERE. Plus, as a dad, makeup is not your forte… but you'll get the hang of it in time.
3. Pop music.
You've become the carpool master, and have heard every song on the radio about 10,000 times. But, the girls in the backseat have to sing EVERY TIME. Don't act like you don't know the words… quick! Here comes your big solo!!
4. Traveling with the team.
What's worse than your teenager being all hyped up? Compounding the noise with all of her teammates being all hyped up. Mix travel excitement, hyperactive cheerleaders, and four hours of carpool karaoke together, and you might question your sanity behind volunteering for the team chaperone position. Go ahead and hit the hotel mini bar when you get there… you've earned it.
5. The routine.
You've gone to every practice, every game, and you've been helping your cheerleader at home. Naturally, you know the routine. At the competition, you stand going through the motions without shame. Don't worry, all the other parents are doing it.
Perhaps the biggest obstacle of them all is realizing your child is growing up. Cheerleading has taught them to be strong and confident, so be THEIR biggest cheerleader as they start figuring things out on their own — both in the world, and in the world of cheer. Happy Father's Day to all you cheer dads out there, and keep up the great work!

Finally – This should be it. After reports of bugs nearly to big for such a small plugin i've rewritten the original sql clause with a little bit better one. Now we should have Jerome's Keywords Manager – Final Destination.
Download the (i hope) final version:
Internal name: final destination
For the more technical fraction of my growing fan-community:
The original sql clause to retrieve posts with an specific assigned keyword was formulated to generally and reported to many results. A basic "attribute LIKE %keyword%" wasn't correct in this case.
Chip showed me this example: We have lot's of posts tagged with the keyword "c" (programming language). After selecting the keyword in the Jerome's Keywords Manager overview page, all posts having assigned keywords with the letter "c" would be shown on the edit page (like "cocaine", "furuncle", "canalisation", "canabalismn" and so on). urg.
Since jerome decided to save assigned keywords as a comma-seperated list (straight without spaces in between) the SQL-Clause was redefined easely:
attribute LIKE 'keyword,%' OR
attribute LIKE '%,keyword' OR
attribute LIKE '%,keyword,%' OR
attribute = 'keyword'
This should catch all cases.

Herb Butter Roasted Turkey
A traditionally prepared turkey flavored with a delicious rosemary, thyme, sage, and parsley herb butter.
- 1 turkey (approximately 14 lbs)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup Challenge Butter, softened
- 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 Tablespoon fresh sage
- 2 Tablespoons flat leaf parsley
- 1 Tablespoon fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1Preheat the oven to 425°F. Remove giblets and neck from the cavity of the turkey. Rinse and dry bird. Fold wing tips behind the turkey. Season the cavity with salt and pepper.
2Put butter into a small mixing bowl and let it warm up to room temperature. Combine butter with fresh herbs and mix until thoroughly combined.
3Starting at the neck end of the turkey, loosen the skin by sliding your fingers underneath it, being careful not to tear it. Slide your hand as far as you can toward the other end of the turkey, separating the skin from the meat. Rub two-thirds of the herb butter over the entire breast. Tie drumsticks in front.
4Place the bird on a rack in a roasting pan breast-side up; cover loosely with a foil tent. Place bird in oven and decrease the temperature to 350°F. Bake 3 to 3½ hours.
5Melt remaining herb butter. Remove foil tent from turkey during the last 45 minutes of baking and baste once with melted butter.
6The turkey is done when the thigh meat reaches an internal temperature of 180°F and the breast meat reaches an internal temperature of 170°F. When the turkey is done, remove from the oven; let stand 30 minutes before carving.
!For some extra flavor, serve seasoned turkey with warm Bourbon Buttered Apple Slices.

First Published at Thoughts on Media, Development and Children by Kelly Royds
In July this year, I began a research project with a group of year six students in rural Timor-Leste to explore their perspectives of an intercultural, media exchange program, called ChildFund Connect. The program, from ChildFund Australia, uses multimedia to connect children in Australia, Laos, Sri Lanka, Timor-Leste and Vietnam, with the aim of exchanging cultures and learning about each other's lives.
The students, from a central school in Bobonaro District, have spent the last six months sharing photos and videos with classrooms in Australia and Sri Lanka. They have learnt how to make videos, take photos and share stories with the help of their classroom teacher and ChildFund Timor-Leste project officer, Felisbertino Ximenes. The first research activity was for the children to create a timeline of their experiences in the ChildFund Connect program. After this, they flipped their page over and did a drawing of what they thought Australia and Sri Lanka looked like based on the videos and photos they had seen. This added a fun and creative element to the otherwise concrete and simple task of describing what activities they could recall. Once everyone had completed their timelines and drawings, the children volunteered to share their work with the group. We asked the children to explain both what they had drawn and why they had drawn it. For example, Maria said that she had drawn flowers and a horse because, 'hau gosta aifunan' (I like flowers). This activity was critical in providing a sense of children's openness to the new activities and hinted at potential challenges in expressing critical opinions.
We had initially planned for the children to interview one another, using the Kodak cameras, about what they had liked and disliked about the project. However, after the first activity I felt that another concrete task might risk stifling children's creative and critical thinking and reduce their opinions to simple likes and dislikes. So we decided to give the children an imaginary scenario:
"You have spent 6 months in Australia/Sri-Lanka, and have just returned home to your community. A journalist from Dili has travelled to your village to interview you about your experiences. They want to know what you did, what you saw, what you ate and who you met on your trip. In pairs, take turns of playing the journalist and the person who went overseas. Use a Kodak camera to record your interview and you can use a pencil or paper as your pretend microphone."
The role-playing element of this task generated a lot of enthusiasm and engagement from the children. Holding the pen microphone, practising their speaking voices, setting up the camera, adjusting their location and appearance on camera, were all critical components in how they engaged with the task. Some children battled with shyness in speaking, whilst others relished in the opportunity to perform in front of the camera. The activity followed an iterative process with children completing an interview, watching it back, receiving feedback and re-adjusting questions and filming it again. The shy children were able to adjust the activity and control various elements, such as the location and being in front or behind the camera, so that they could feel more comfortable.
These imaginary interviews seemed to prompt children to engage on a more empathetic and emotional level with their learning about children overseas. For example Jose explained how he felt when he met the children in Sri Lanka: "I feel that they treat me like a brother, they took me to their house to eat nice rice". A strong sense of friendship and positive reflections about Australia and Sri-Lanka came out of the imaginary interviews. The role-playing seemed to liberate children from feeling like there was a right and wrong answer and enabled them to express their learning through imaginary scenarios.
Here is a short video from the children's imaginary interviews:
