Green Air Filters For Your Car
Alright, all you soy sipping, yogurt eating, diet doing, hybrid driving, environmentally eccentric folks from Vancouver: listen up. You may be causing more damage to the environment than you already know. How so? Your Audi's air filter, that's how. Yes, it is true: if you keep your car long enough you will be performing under-the-hood maintenance which will include changing your air filter at least once a year. Keep that same car for ten years and that is ten years of stuff clogging North America's landfills. And you call yourself earth friendly? Tsk, tsk! All kidding aside, there is an environmentally friendly way whereby if you follow just one small, but important step you can achieve oneness with nature, if not with your wallet: replace your car's disposable air filter one final time with a reusable air filter.
Reusable air filters, or performance air filters as some like to call them, are a true "green" item. No, the air filter isn't green itself, but the result is the same effect: you can replace your car's air filter one final time with a reusable air filter that should outlast your car. Environmentally friendly air filters are on the market and they have several key benefits to them, including: You replace your car's disposable air filter once and for all with a reusable air filter. Environmentally sensitive landfills are permanently rid of an extra ten or more disposable air filters that you would have used. Your reusable air filter will cost approximately 2 or 3 times the price of a disposable filter, however you will get that money back and ultimately save in the long run.
Your car will actually perform better as reusable air filters help your engine breathe better. Better breathing for your engine means better performance. You may realize a slight increase in fuel mileage as a better performing engine means a more efficient engine. All in all, you can show yourself to be environmentally responsible and save yourself some many in the process of doing the right thing. Reusable air filters are truly a green friendly product and are worth being placed in your car the next time you change your air filter.

Mr President, corrupt Presidents and corrupt Prime Ministers with illegal money making skills do not use deadly weapons when stealing from state coffers. Nepotism has been described as "a grave disorder akin to rape" when it came to appointments in government.
Nepotism ( favouritism granted to relatives, friends and political benefactors in various fields) is one of the worst form of corruption. The global coalition against corruption, transparency international, recently posted a video to its social media page listing some world leaders and problems of nepotism. I am recommending this video to the President.
Mr President, about eighty percent (80%) of people occupying sensitive positions in your administration and our state institutions are your family members including your daughter. The Finance Minister who is in charge of the country's finances and the economy, is your cousin, your daughter has been appointed into your administration. The finance minister recently appointed a brother's wife to head SIC and has occupied every space in the finance ministry with his friends and cronies. GIPC, another sensitive state agency is being managed by another colleague of the finance minister. How different is President Akufo-Addo from Angola's president who appointed his daughter to run a state owned oil company. The daughter is said to be the richest woman in Africa. How different is President Akufo Addo from the President of Equatorial Guinea who appointed his son as his Vice President. His son is facing trial in France for corruption charges and has been accused of stealing millions from state funds. How different is Nana Addo from the Prime Minister of Hungary who has been accused of giving many state contracts to his son in law. Based on evidence available, President Akufo Addo's name will be added to the list of corrupt leaders by transparency international.
Mr President your ex- wife also benefits from your family and friends administration as she is appointed an ambassador. Your cousins in your cabinet are not excluded from problems of nepotism. We know of the monthly Ofori-Atta descendants meetings that take place in Tafo in the Eastern Region and the deals discussed at such meetings. Mr President, corruption is a form of dishonest and unethical conduct by a person entrusted with a position of authority, often to acquire personal benefit. It is the illegitimate use of public power for private gain. The composition of the government of Ghana or any of its agencies and the conduct of its affairs should be carried out in such a manner as to reflect the national character of Ghana, and need to promote national unity. But the composition of your government reflect your family's character and promoting stealing of state funds and building of your envisioned empire.
Mr President, your friend and top financier of your party warned you and your party not to "touch" the BOST boss in spite the corruption allegation levelled against him because he supported you financially in opposition. We were told by the financier that the BOST boss supported you financially with an amount of Ghc 300,000 a month since 2012. A-plus recently exposed support you received from a private Bank in opposition and how two of your appointees are still benefiting from that relationship.
Mr President, corrupt leaders do not use sophisticated weapons to raid their nations and steal from state coffers and don't carry out their nefarious activities by themselves. They appoint their children, family members and friends to sensitive and lucrative positions to perpetuate their wicked plans on their people. President Museveni appointed his son Muhoozi to the rank of major general, Theodoro Obiang appointed his son to the Vice Presidency, Dos Santos appointed his daughter Isabel as head of the state energy firm Sonangol. What she said when Ugandan public started pouring agitations – that, she is a business person and not a politician, is not different from what your cousin who told Ghanaians when Kennedy Agyepong accused him of taking bribes ranging from $20,000- $30,000 from people who request to meet the President.
Mr President, you have already overfilled your pockets not pocket with our money. You are making illegal money using special illegal money making skills conniving with your family members and friends. We saw the list of people who constituted your delegation to the UN. Relatives of your wife, business friends, cousins, allies in the media. How different is your action from what famous corrupt leaders do? This time, your delegation to the UN was the biggest from Africa.

Conservation can involve the political, environmental and social movements to protect, manage and restore the integrity of our ecological systems – with a particular focus on biological diversity and the natural processes that sustain life.
Australia is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world, with a large portion of species endemic to Australia. Preserving this wealth of biodiversity is important for our everyday lives and for future generations.
Biological systems within Australia and around the world are declining, reinforcing the need for urgent conservation. The drivers in this decline are varying, although the impacts of humans on these systems are a central and repeated element. Ultimately, our conservation efforts seek to manage this decline and restore these systems.
Early conservation centred on a sustainable yield of natural resources and preserving areas of natural habitat, expanding in contemporary conservation to include biodiversity.
Successful conservation in today's environment will need to consider the interaction of the natural environment with elements of human society including: politics, economics, population trends, convenience, food and resource security, climatic variation, urbanisation and infrastructure.
Wildlife Queensland responds to various conservation issues by representing the shared values of its members across Queensland as articulated through the objectives of our organisation as set out in the constitution. These are translated into a range of policy documents dealing with areas of particular current concern through a process of consultation and engagement with its members, as well as with professionals and experts in those areas.
Conservation issues are set out under the categories listed on our sidebar – please follow these links to read more about our actions and views.
Conservation is on the agenda at all times, some of the current issues being pursued by Wildlife Queensland can be found in our news section.

Tricks, illusions and hypnosis await the student body as Brian Imbus takes the stage in Cullen Auditorium Tuesday.
Imbus is returning to ACU for the third consecutive year. His performance includes a combination of mentalism and hypnosis. Mentalism involves illusions such as card tricks and mind reading.
Tom Craig, director of student activities and productions, said Imbus first came to ACU when a group of students came across his name. The students saw that he has performed at other Christian universities across the United States. He sold out his first show at ACU with more than 400 students in attendance.
"It's a fun evening of stage entertainment," Craig said. "It's interactive with students, he involves students on stage with the mind games and stuff like that, and people are able to be involved and at the same time enjoy some of the parlor tricks that he's able to pull off on stage."
Brian Imbus said he performs 250 shows per year and about 120 of those are colleges.
"ACU is one of my favorites to visit and the crowds have been fantastic," Imbus said. "I can't wait to pack the house again this year."
Though Imbus has performed at ACU three different times doing his "combo show" with both mentalism and hypnosis, he tries to make the performance new each time.
"The audience takes the reigns and leads me into it," Imbus said. "When I come and do a show it's really a clean slate and the audience determines what's going to happen. I have a little bit of an idea where I want the show to go, but there are times when I choose to take it in a different direction. That's the beauty of doing a show is that it can take so many different directions."
In the past, Imbus performed tricks such as hypnotizing individuals into forgetting words from their vocabulary, advanced card tricks and mind reading.
Imbus' performance takes place in Cullen Auditorium on March 1 starting at 8 p.m. The show is free and runs about two hours.

A Hot Read
"Little Fires Everywhere" by Celeste Ng deserves all the press it's gotten. And it's soon to be a limited TV series starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington. Talk about family dysfunction but an interesting one.
The author grew up in Shaker Heights, Ohio which is the setting for her book. It's almost a character itself. Shaker Heights is a planned, upscale community and somewhat insular. Mrs. Richardson has lived in this "utopia" her whole life. She and her husband are busy working and raising their four teenage children. Then, along comes Mia, a transient artist and her teenage daughter Pearl who have recently moved into the Richardsons' rental home in a less desirable section of the suburb. Gradually, Mia and Pearl's lives intersect with the Richardson family. All goes along so well...
You know from the opening pages that the Richardson daughter is the prime suspect in burning down their beautiful suburban home. Izzy has set "little fires everywhere" much to the horror of the rest of the family. The mystery is how did things go so wrong.
The author explores many themes in this intricate family story: class, race, mothers, daughters, abortion, adoption, the list goes on. All the while she has crafted a novel that is hard to put down. As one reviewer stated "it is a masterclass in characterization". Book clubs will love this selection.

'Framed', A Beautiful Short Film Shot Entirely on an iPhone 4S
So many people get hung up on the gear they want to use for their film. While it may be true that your camera gear can make a good film better, the gear is not the most important factor when making a film. Today, high quality cameras are smaller and cheaper than ever. Plus, with websites like YouTube and Vimeo, it's a lot easier to get your film seen. Since the development of these sites, the world has come to know and love all sorts of videos with varying degrees of image quality.
But quality is a relative term, isn't it? How do you define what makes a "good" video? Is it the story? The actors? The way it looks? Some of the videos we have grown to know in the past few years have been shot with professional gear and some have been shot on point and shoot cameras or even cell phones. The one thing they all have in common is that they are entertaining. In other words, a successful video isn't successful because of the gear used to produce it as long as it's entertaining. It's not so much about the actual gear itself but how you use it.
Framed is a perfect example of a gorgeous film shot with a minimal amount of gear. French filmmaker, Maël Sevestre, made this film in just a few days but you would never guess that from watching it. It's a simple story of a man and his camera. The film was shot with only a tripod, a slider and an iPhone 4S attached to the slider with a couple of clamps. It wasn't the most elegant setup in the world but that didn't matter. All the elements of a great short film are still there.
"This is exactly what I've been talking about. A beautifully shot story all shot with an iPhone 4S and it looks amazing," says Zacuto Product Designer and Director, Steve Weiss. "It's not about the gear, guys. It's about the story, the talent and the people behind the camera. If you don't listen to me, a guy that makes his living selling equipment for high end camera gear, who will you listen to?"
As a young filmmaker from Annecy, France, Sevestre was looking for a new project. He has worked on quite a few large projects in the past and is used to working with a big production team but this time around he was looking for something new on a smaller scale.
"I just wanted to do a small short, like a 48-hour film project," says Sevestre. "So I called one of my comedian friends and asked him if he was available for the weekend to shoot a small "not yet written story." Some friends and I started brainstorming about what kind of story we wanted to tell and then one of them showed us the brand new iPhone 4S. We liked the idea of making a movie only using the phone instead of the 5D Mark II. So we did. I had heard that the iPhone 4S had a new optic (a real one), so I figured why not be the first to do a short movie using only this camera?"
Sevestre and his friends wrote the story that night and 24 hours later, they were in his childhood village shooting Framed.
"We wanted to tell a story about an old camera that allows you to see his past owner," says Sevestre. "We saw a link between a newer camera like the iPhone, which is a product of consummation, and an old camera, one you keep throughout your entire life. I really wanted to get the color of autumn and tell a poetic story in this season."
Maël Sevestre did an excellent job achieving just that. The colors are amazing and the story is very sweet. There were a few problems with flickering colors and stabilization, but any filmmaker will tell you that you never have a shoot without running into a few problems here and there. Sevestre worked around these problems and at the end of the day, the team had all of their shots. Editing only took another day and by that night, Framed was up on Vimeo. It was textbook independent filmmaking at its best.
Take a look a Framed below and see what we're talking about!!

Carrie Schmitt's artwork is beautiful colorful painted flowers. She is also a retreat facilitator, and teaches classes near Seattle, Washington, and next year in France. We talk about her one-year project, called The Single Rose Project, where she handed out a rose to one person every day for a year, and we also talk about her newest adventure, Rosie's Art Bus, which is her mobile art studio. You'll be amazed to learn that she's only been painting for ten years, after drastically changing her life and her home base following a debilitating illness. She really has an inspiring story.
Listen here or download from iTunes, CastBox, or Stitcher.
Carrie Schmitt
Here are some of the things we discussed on this episode (click on the names to follow the links):
Carrie's website: carrieschmittdesign.com
Here is more information about Carrie's A Single Rose Project.
Here is a link to Carrie's online shop where you can buy her artwork and products. Here is where you can purchase Carrie's Rose Cards, so that you can pass do your own rose project.
While the online business class that she took from artist KellyRae Roberts is no longer offered, here are some of KellyRae's other courses.
Some of Carrie's art can be found at Art East Gallery in Issaquah, Washington.
Here is the calendar for Carrie's upcoming retreats.
Here are some takeaways from this episode:
- As Carrie says, "Do one thing every day in the direction of your dream."
- If you want to create a 365-day project like Carrie did, be sure that you work it into your daily routine. And make sure you give it a powerful end, like Carrie did when she gave her last roses out at a women's shelter in Seattle.
- At the end of her day, she asks herself, "Did I do the best I can do today?" I think that's a great way to reflect and prepare for your next day to continue on your art-filled path.
- As Carrie says, we need some down time to create a quiet space for ourselves. In this crazy time where we are attached to our phones, we need to relearn what it is like to sit quietly by ourselves and occupy our minds with thoughts that fill our souls.
- Instagram and Pinterest are great places to show photos of your art. Carrie was recognized in Pinterest and able to obtain licensing deals through that notice.
- Consider getting your artwork printed on products, like hats and water bottles. Carrie sells these things in shops and from her bus.
- If you can't find or afford studio space near your home, consider an alternative space like Carrie has for her bus. Rosie the Art Bus came about because she was unable to find affordable space, and the cost of the bus was less than one month's rent of a retail space. Now she can paint by the beach, at a park, where ever she wants to take the bus.
- Think about alternatives to offering traditional art classes. Carrie is offering a week on an island in Washington for women to work on projects in a quiet beautiful space, but there is no teaching involved.
I hope Carrie has inspired you to challenge yourself with a new project and be brave enough to try something new, no matter how scary or unusual the idea might be.

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand confirmed on Thursday it had forcibly returned nearly 100 Uighur migrants to China, heightening tensions between Ankara and Beijing over the treatment of the Turkic language-speaking and largely Muslim minority.
Turkish protesters attacked the Thai honorary consulate in Istanbul overnight in protest over Bangkok's expulsion of the Ugihurs, smashing windows and ransacking parts of the building.
Thailand's embassy in Ankara warned around 1,300 Thais living in Turkey to "be on alert" following the attack. Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha on Thursday mooted the possibility of closing the embassy if the situation worsened.
Rights groups have expressed concern over Thailand's decision to send the Uighurs back to China fearing they could face ill-treatment and even torture.
Hundreds, possibly thousands, of Uighurs have fled unrest in China's western Xinjiang region where hundreds of people have been killed, prompting a crackdown by Chinese authorities. Many Uighurs have traveled through Southeast Asia to Turkey.
"Thailand sent around 100 Uighurs back to China yesterday. Thailand has worked with China and Turkey to solve the Uighur Muslim problem. We have sent them back to China after verifying their nationality," Colonel Weerachon Sukhondhapatipak, deputy government spokesman, told reporters on Thursday.
A group of more than 170 Uighurs were identified as Turkish citizens and sent to Turkey, and nearly 100 were identified as Chinese and sent back to China. Fifty others still need to have their citizenship verified.
"It is very shocking and disturbing that Thailand caved in to pressure from Beijing," Sunai Phasuk, Thailand researcher at Human Rights Watch, told Reuters.
"By forcibly sending back at least 90 Uighurs, Thailand has violated international law. In China they can face serious abuses including torture and disappearance."
Weerachon told reporters that Thailand had asked China to look after the safety of the Uighurs sent back. "China said it would look after the safety of these people," he said.
Hua Chunying, a spokeswoman for China's foreign ministry, would not confirm whether the Uighurs had been deported to China but spoke in general terms about the issue at a daily news briefing on Thursday, saying the Uighurs were "firstly Chinese".
China's treatment of the Uighurs has aroused concern in Turkey, where many see themselves as sharing a common cultural and religious background. The Uighurs are regarded as "brothers" in Turkey, which already hosts a large Uighur community.
China is home to about 20 million Muslims spread across its vast territory, only a portion of whom are Uighur.

I own about 1800 books in my library at home. Because I had so many books on one of my bookshelves, the bookshelf broke.
I put the shelf back together.
It broke again!
I put it back together again.
It broke again!
After it broke a third time, it became clear to me that it was time for a new thing. So a few weeks later, I bought a brand new bookshelf.
Although I appreciated the old thing, I realized that it was time to replace the old thing with a new thing.
Sorry to say, too often try to salvage something that's broken, when it's no good anymore. Why take up space in the office of your life with something that doesn't serve a purpose anymore?
If that old idea, or strategy, or way of thinking, or relationship, or approach is broken, let it go. If it's already proven to be ineffective, or inefficient, or unproductive, or unfruitful, let it go.
Almost done…

January Savings Roundup
Published: 08/01/2019
Each month, James writes a column for Around Town Magazine, which goes out to 60,000 homes and businesses in Essex. His January column is reproduced here:
The start of 2019 will undoubtedly see many commit to New Year Resolutions. A recent survey from Inc.com found the following Resolutions to be the most popular:
- Diet or eat healthier (71%)
- Exercise more (65%)
- Lose weight (54%)
- Save more and spend less (32%)
- Learn a new skill or hobby (26%)
The only surprise to me was that changing job wasn't in the top five (it was 7th) but diet, exercise and saving money are perennials on many a resolution list. Given this, I've pulled together my six savings tips to help you in 2019.
Pay off debts first
If you have credit cards, store cards, loans, overdrafts or other expensive forms of borrowing then focus on repaying these first. Banking is fundamentally simple – banks make money by lending the savings from savers to borrowers at a higher rate than they pay to savers. Therefore, in the vast majority of cases, lending will cost more than savings.
Paying debt off will be more financially rewarding. The only exception to this principle is a mortgage – otherwise, focus on paying off debts first. Pay off the most expensive debt first. I often see people focusing on clearing the smallest debt first but paying off the most expensive will save you more in interest costs in the long term.
Saving is a habit – start the habit!
Like much in life, savings is a habit, so start forming that habit. One of the best ways to start the saving habit is to set up a regular savings account. Not only that, it is one of the most financially rewarding as interest rates on regular savings are much higher than those on easy access accounts and even five year fixed rate bonds. If you bank with First Direct, HSBC, or M&S, you will get 5% for paying in between £25 - £300 per month. Customers of Nationwide get 5% on sums from £1 - £250 per month
Essex based Saffron Building Society pays 3.50% on amounts from £10 - £200 per month and accounts can be opened and run in their branches across the county or via post. For those who prefer to bank online, or who want to save smaller sums, Virgin Money pas 3% on amounts from £1 - £250 per month.
Another great habit is to put a penny away on 1st January and then increase this by a penny every day e.g. 2p on 2nd January, 3p on 3rd January etc. Do this every day by the end of the year and your final contribution of £3.65 will give you a balance of £667.95 for the year (plus any interest that you earn)
Maximise your current account
It can be a challenge to save at times. However, almost all of us have money in our current account at some stage of the month. Nationwide pays its customers 5% on the first £2,500 held in a current account with them and Tesco Bank pays 3% on sums up to £3,000. This is a great chance to earn money by doing nothing!
Banks will pay you to switch to them. First Direct pays £125 for switching (and wins almost all banking customer service awards) and gives a free £250 overdraft. Switchers to HSBC's Advance account get £150 and those moving to M&S get £100 gift card plus another £80 gift card after 1 Year. Halifax pays £50 straight away, £85 after 6 months and £2 per month – so £159 in total by the end of the first year.
With the government introduced Current Account Switching Guarantee (www.currentaccountswitch.co.uk), your new bank takes care of closing your old account, moving your balance and switching all your payments so you don't have to worry about transferring all your bills. You even pick your own switch date! Over 4 million have switched so far.
Check the interest rate on your savings
Around 75% of the UK population keep their savings with their current account provider. This is often not the most rewarding place to hold your savings with many of the high street banks paying interest rates of 0.1% to 0.5% on their savings accounts.
The best paying easy access accounts (those which don't require any notice to get your money out) pay 1.50%. Marcus (part of Goldman Sachs), Virgin Money and West Brom Building Society all pay this rate. Sainsburys Bank pay 1.45% and Essex based banks Ford Money (1.42%) and Shawbrook (1.40%) have been stalwarts of our best buy tables.
In fact, there are a dozen banks paying 1.40% or more on easy access savings with minimum opening balances from £1, there's plenty of choice. If your savings aren't paying you a competitive rate – switch!
Buy Premium Bonds instead of Lottery tickets
Premium Bonds (www.nsandi.com/premium-bonds) have an annual prize fund of 1.40% - very competitive compared to the best easy access accounts. They are government backed so 100% safe and you can invest from £100. There's a prize draw every month with 2 £1m prizes, 5 x £100,000 prizes and a range of prizes down to £25.
The great thing about Premium Bonds is, unlike the National Lottery, you get your money back. If you like the chance to win big but want to keep your money, take a look at Premium Bonds. Over £91m of prizes were paid out in December 2018.
Make sure your money is protected
The government offers a protection scheme which guarantees savers deposits if your financial services provider fails. The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protects deposits up to £85,000 per person, per bank, building society or credit union and up to £170,000 for joint accounts. 96% of UK savings and current accounts are FSCS protected – for free.
If you are unsure whether your savings are covered, there is a handy tool on their website www.fscs.org.uk which will tell you.
What are the best rates currently?
The savings market does move quickly, so we always recommend that you check our website for the latest rates. At time of print, our best personal savings rates are:

Technical Paper
Multi-Component Modeling of Diesel Fuel for Injection and Combustion Simulation
Accurate simulation tools are needed for rapid and cost effective engine development in order to meet ever tighter pollutant regulations for future internal combustion engines. The formation of pollutants such as soot and NOx in Diesel engines is strongly influenced by local concentration of the reactants and local temperature in the combustion chamber. Therefore it is of great importance to model accurately the physics of the injection process, combustion and emission formation. It is common practice to approximate Diesel fuel as a single compound fuel for the simulation of the injection and combustion process. This is in many cases sufficient to predict the evolution of the in-cylinder pressure and heat release in the combustion chamber. The prediction of soot and NOx formation depends however on locally component resolved quantities related to the fuel liquid and gas phase as well as local temperature.

We moved my grandmother's care to Radfield Home Care in the summer of 2018 and haven't looked back. The carers are kind, considerate and have time to care for my grandmother. No job is too big or too small and they take pride in everything they do. My grandmother loves the personal service with both the carers and the back office (no call centres). She also loves that calls are made to update her should a carer be running late so she can plan her day. The regular carers assigned to my grandmother means she is building friendships and her home feels like a home - no more strangers in the house!

Food Stalls/Street Food Challenge finished on Monday, 06 Dec 2010 Eating in the street from Food Stalls can be fun. You usually do it when travelling. Eating from Food Stalls means to me mixing with the local people, simple food and mainly lots of fun. Wikipedia - "Street food is food obtainable from a streetside vendor, often from a makeshift or portable stall. While some street foods are regional, many are not, having spread beyond their region of origin. The food and green groceries sold in farmers' markets may also fall into this category, including the food exhibited and sold in gathering fairs, such as agricultural show and state fair. Most street food are both finger and fast food. Food and green groceries are available on the street for a fraction of the cost of a restaurant meal and a supermarket."

Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios Buys TheGrio
The purchase price is not being disclosed.
Tuesday, June 14, 2016 has turned out to be a momentous day for African-American-focused media properties. In addition to the revelation that Johnson Publishing recently sold Ebony and Jet magazines to a Texas-based firm, there was also the news that website TheGrio has a new owner.
From that announcement:
"We are excited to have TheGrio join Byron Allen's ever-expanding Entertainment Studios media empire," says David A. Wilson, co-founder and executive editor of TheGrio. "Byron shares our vision of growing TheGrio into the leading video content creator and distribution platform for African-Americans. We look forward to developing the next iteration of TheGrio, and the fact that it will remain 100 percent African American-owned is very significant."
Per the illustration above, Allen's company has a hand in a variety of different channels, all streaming in HD. Entertainment Studios was also an active bidder at this year's Sundance Film Festival for the acclaimed drama Birth of a Nation.
TheGrio was created in 2009 by NBC and sold back to Wilson and partner Dan Woolsey in 2014.

The association Phoenix-Speranta obtained a financing of 1,093,193 Euros from the Velux Foundations in order to set up a Complex of social services for vulnerable adults. The partners in the project are: on behalf of the town-Hall Medias, The Social Assistance Department, and Habitat for Humanity, an NGO having as mission the eradication of poor living conditions. Both, The Town –Hall Medias and Habitat for Humanity have an important contribution, not only in work and knowledge, but also in money: Euro 200 000 the Town-Hall and 100 000.
The Velux Foundations include two nonprofit organizations: Villum Fonden and Velux Fonden. Among the areas financed through grant programs there are: sciences, environment, the social and cultural field in Denmark and abroad. In 2014 the two foundations granted common financing of about Euro 150 million for nonprofit projects.
Both foundations were founded by Villum Kann Rasmussen, the founder of Velux and other companies from the VKR Group whose mission is to bring light, fresh air and a better living environment for the people.
The project will be implemented over a period of 30 months, starting in April 2016 until September 2018 and has as main objective to create chance for a normal, independent life for youngsters up to 25 years old, those who are exposed to rejection as a result of lack of schooling, extreme poverty, Roma ethnicity, disability or one parent families.
The project provides a model of social intervention that combines efficiently governmental social assistance with innovative non-governmental experience.
This model of intervention deals with the following key activities:
- assessment of work capacity and/or necessity of training
- counselling on particular issue
- mediation in order to find a suitable work place (in the sheltered unit, in the social economy structure or on the open labor market)
- training for an independent life (how to maintain the work place and autonomous living)
Applying this model supposes building and rehabilitate two entities:
- a structure of social economy
- a block of flats
The major goal is to offer training for work and living without social assistance.
The target group consists of 200 young people selected from the database of the Social Assistance Department out of which, at the finalization of the project, about half will be able to live without welfare.
"The number of vulnerable youngsters reintegrated, the main performance indicator of the project, shows our belief that each person should be aided in such a way that he/she, even partially, can take the responsibility of his/her own life; each must be stimulated to want to be an active member of the community, having the right to get support, but also the obligation to offer society whatever he/she can. The equation individual-society is one of participation from both sides.
The Association Phoenix-Speranta is very proud obtaining the grant from the Velux Foundation, who offer not only money but also an extraordinary example of European social responsibility aimed at the areas showing imbalance of all kind, which affects the great values of humanity: democracy, freedom and even the conquests of civilization." Maria Ioana Stanescu, manager of the project.

So many of you loved my Apple Pie Egg rolls… and some suggested using Cherry Pie filling. I've only ever really had cherry pie filling on cheese cake, and then I thought.. HEYYYY!!!! Why not??
I have an individual cheesecakes recipe and thought it would be yummy in an egg roll! And that's how these babies were born! YUMMMM! This isn't your typical egg roll recipe at all, but it just might be the most delicious egg roll recipe you'll ever make!
These remind me of the OLD McDonalds pies we used to get as kids.. if a cherry pie from McDonalds married a cheesecake and had a baby it would have these. I'm telling you, trying these out at home while I was alone was NOT a good idea.
Note: These are intended to be served warm and fresh.
Items you'll need for this recipe:
* Cherry Pie Filling * Egg Roll Wrappers * Cream Cheese *
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon lemon rind
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 8 egg roll wrappers mine were 6″x6″
- oil for frying
- In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, lemon rind, sugar and lemon juice until well mixed. Spoon into a Ziploc baggie. Cut off the corner of the bag.
- Lay out your egg roll wrappers with one of the corners pointing towards you and pipe a line of cheese mixture across the wrapper. Add approx. 10 cherries on top of the cheese mixture.
- Using water, wet the edges of the wrapper and roll up tightly ensuring the edges are sealed well. Let the rolls sit about 3-4 minutes allowing the water to dry and create a good seal.
- Preheat oil to about 350 degrees and fry in small batches until brown and crispy (about 5-6 minutes). Serve warm.

2016 Honda HR-V Rated 28/35 MPG With CVT, FWD
The EPA has published fuel economy numbers for Honda's new subcompact crossover, which debuted a few months ago at the Los Angeles auto show. The 2016 Honda HR-V tops out at 28/35 mpg city/highway when paired with two-wheel drive and a CVT transmission.
Numbers drop to 27/32 mpg for models equipped with all-wheel drive, which is always paired with a CVT. HR-Vs equipped with the six-speed manual hit 25/34 mpg.
The Honda HR-V bests competitors like the Nissan Juke and the Chevrolet Trax in fuel economy, when all are paired with automatic transmissions. The Nissan Juke earns 28/32 mpg or 26/31 mpg with all-wheel drive, while the Trax comes in even lower at 26/34 mpg or 24/31 mpg with all-wheel drive. The Mazda CX-3, another competitor in the subcompact crossover segment, has not yet been rated.
Although the new HR-V shares a platform with the Fit, it is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine borrowed from the Civic. This engine allows the crossover to push out 138 hp and 127 lb-ft of torque, on par with the Trax. The HR-V comes to market this spring, but pricing has not yet been announced.

Barclays to pay $2bn settlement over fraud case going back to financial crisis
Barclays has agreed to pay $2bn (£1.4bn) to settle a US civil action related to the mis-selling of residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) in the run-up to the financial crisis.
Two former Barclays executives also agreed to pay $2m to resolve claims brought against them, the US Department of Justice said on Thursday
The complaint, filed in December 2016, Barclays caused billions of dollars in losses to investors by engaging in a fraudulent scheme to sell 36 RMBS, and that it misled investors about the quality of the mortgage loans backing those deals.
It alleged that Barclays' investment banking division, Barclays Capital, had committed mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, and other misconduct.
"This settlement reflects the ongoing commitment of the Department of Justice, and this Office, to hold banks and other entities and individuals accountable for their fraudulent conduct," stated United States Attorney Donoghue. "The substantial penalty Barclays and its executives..

It's hard to put into words of my experience of the Reiki holy fire course.... I had no idea what to expect coming into it, and it was much more intense and transformational than I could ever imagine. It's very different from the previous reiki courses I had taken. It feels like your body and mind is going through a year's worth of reiki healing within the course of three days. There were strong moments of feeling loved and empowered and other moments of feeling like your entire being is going through turmoil. You are able to fully release the old or any negativity that is still within you. I'm so glad I got to experience this class with the grace of master Jose and all the lovely people who attended. Everyone also seemed to have different experiences in their release as well. I can honestly say that I've felt a difference in my life afterwards. I'm much stronger now and coming into my own as if I'm breaking through my past shell. Thank you Jose so much for sharing this with us.Sarah H. Holy Fire Reiki Class
The last few months, I'd felt that something was "off" in my life. Couldn't put a finger on it – just didn't feel quite balanced and that I was losing my direction and sense of joie de vivre. Jose is definitely a gifted healer. From the moment I walked into his practice on Burrard Street, I at once felt very much at ease. Jose has a very calming and healing presence and I felt an immediate sense that all was well in the universe around me. Jose took the time to listen to my story and concerns, and why I was interested in reiki. During each session with Jose, it feels like radiant coloured beams of light are emanating throughout your body. You leave the room feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and at peace. Loving these sessions so much, I've now signed up for a reiki class. Thank you for sharing the great gift of your healing with me Jose. I highly recommend you and reiki for those seeking clarity and peace in their lives.Julie Reiki Session Treatment

WATCH: Herd of 85 runners complete Elmer trail in memory of late friend
PUBLISHED: 11:32 20 June 2019 | UPDATED: 13:08 20 June 2019
The rain failed to dampen the spirits of one group of Suffolk runners – who completed the Elmer's Big Parade art trail in just 80 minutes.
In total, 85 runners from the Run For Your Life (RFYL) group took on the ultimate challenge of tracking down all 55 large Elmers and covering 13km - while never leaving a team member behind.
The participants, from groups such as Ipswich Jaffa, Felixstowe Road Runners and the Kesgrave and Rushmere Community Runners, set off from Sailmakers at 6pm on Wednesday, June 19 and ran the trail around the town, raising money for St Elizabeth Hospice.
The run was organised by Sean Connor, the artist behind the RFYL Elmer named Edna, who was dedicated in tribute to former runner Angela Rose who died of breast cancer in February 2019 at St Elizabeth Hospice.
Angela's husband Chris Rose joined in with the race, carrying Angela's toy Edna in his backpack and posing for a picture with the RFYL Elmer on route.
Chris said: "I think we shocked the people in the Buttermarket when we all ran up the stairs and through the cinema to see all the Elmers.
"We all stayed together as one big social running group and it took us an hour and 20 minutes before we finished at Lloyds Avenue."
The group visited Edna the Elmer, who was covered in people's running memories along with Edna's description which was written by Angela herself before she passed away.
Edna also features painted nails and a red lipstick in tribute to former RFYL member Angela, and was unveiled for the first time at this year's Suffolk Show.
Speaking of the evening, Chris said: "We went round all the larger Elmers and it was amazing - we all got soaked but everyone had a smile on their face.
"As we were already soaked some of us even ran through the water jets on the Cornhill."
Elmer's Big Parade - Suffolk kicked off at the beginning of the week, with many people heading out to complete the trail and raise money on behalf of St Elizabeth Hospice, who have cared for many people's loved ones in their final days, including Angela.
"Angela would definitely have loved it," continued Chris. "I had her toy Edna in a bag on my back, so she was definitely with us while we ran."
Edna the elephant was also placed next to Rendle the Elmer, which is from Angela's son Jacks' school.

Make sure you go over the features list as many features such as whatsapp and text monitoring are supported only Android operating system. If your kids have iPhone please check the best parental control apps for iPhone comparison and if you want to track an Android device please go to our best parental control apps for Android section.
Make sure that your chosen parental control app prevents your kids from accessing dangerous and inappropriate websites and apps with obscene content. These apps work by installing a proprietary browser which keeps a track of your kids' online activity and also prevents them from accessing any inappropriate content.
Further, these apps also restrict the child from installing any other apps, thus keeping them under your scrutiny 24 * 7.
These app-installed browsers block the access to all the websites that fall under inappropriate categories like violence, gambling, pornography and so on. Further, you can also add other websites which you think are inappropriate for your child with certain apps like Net Nanny.
However, these apps do not stop here. They also report your kids' online activities and this varies from app to app. For instance, Qustodio provides all the details with a preview of the respective site along with the related data to help you set rules accordingly.

Applications like Net Nanny allow you to define a total internet usage limit, while there are other apps like Qustodio which allow you to set different time schedules for different apps and so on.
While keeping a track of your child's internet activities is fine, a parental control app should also be able to report their location to you. However, it is also equally important to have some level of intelligence so that your app doesn't keep bombarding you about your child's location every now and then. Norton Family and Qustodio perform well in both these aspects.
Some services even allow you to set alerts when your kid crosses certain location or returns back. Kaspersky Safe Kids is one such application which allows you to geofence, thus making sure that your kid is where it is supposed to be.
On an average, most parental control apps work fine with both iOS and android. These apps allow you to have a quick look at the dashboard, customize settings and view reports right from your tablet or phone. This proves useful for the parents and other admins.
When talking about the devices which can be monitored, both iOS and android devices can be tracked pretty well. However, most apps find difficult to provide a range of features for iOS due to the restrictions imposed by operating system.
When using on an iOS device, you might need to download mobile device management to make your app function better.
The next important aspect – pricing. Undoubtedly, your chosen parental control app should be in your budget.
As expected, majority of the parental control apps require you to pay based on the number of devices you need to monitor. The price can vary between $10 and $30 for monitoring and could go as high as $100 in a few cases for more than one or two devices.
Additionally, there also are a few apps which provide the basic services for free and ask you to pay for the other premium services. Further, there are other apps which require you to pay in bundle irrespective of the number of devices you monitor.
Although installing the best parental control apps help to a large extent, it is important to mention here that parents must take the time and talk with their kids on the usage of internet and why they have installed a monitoring software on their device.
This is because being safe is a cumulative responsibility and your kid should know how to be safe instead of you imposing restrictions every time on them.
