This week in the mountains
Here's a photo of me on a recent trip taking literature and Bible studies to the new churches we have in the mountains. Some days I was able to conduct Bible studies in two locations as some of the towns have their meetings during the day, while the larger towns tend to have their meetings in the evening.
Raising Churches like Children
We have decided to start a church in the mountains of a region called Chachapoyas in the coming year, and we continue in prayer about it, because we have no means of support to plant churches. As with the birth of any baby, there are expenses. It doesn't matter what brand of diapers we use on this "newborn," we will just trust that God will provide what this new work will need to survive and grow.
This reminds me of a story that a woman from the Chachapoyas region told me. She had a brother in Lima whose wife had left him with a baby. Her brother was not able to take care of the child because of his work. So she asked him to let her raise the child in the country. She said, "Even if he has to eat chicken droppings, it's better than being raised alone in the city." Quite literally, in these mountain areas, many times the children are set on the grass while the mothers are working. The chickens roam the same grass. Therefore it is not uncommon for the babies to happen upon chicken droppings, and as all children do, they may pick things up, play with them and then either put them in their mouths or put their hands in the their mouths after having played with these things. The woman said to me, "You may think that sounds awful; but one thing is for sure, they grow up."
The same is true with our spiritual children some times. We may not think this is any kind of way to raise "children," but the important thing is that they grow.
January Goings On
We travelled to a small town called Jaen and conducted a Bible training course to prepare leaders for the churches that God is calling together in that area. We had 25 taking the course. Now we're back in Cajamarca where each Monday I wake in the middle of the night to make it up to the Porcon community and preach a 6 a.m. service that these dedicated Christians attend before starting their work week. Then on Tuesday of this week we began a vacation Bible school. A public school teacher from Lima came with some other sisters to help us in this work.
Next up is another Bible training course with the church leaders in the Cajamarca region. We need to prepare workers to plant new works and make disciples. We appreciate your prayers and support.

Strange Bedfellows for the Cause of Christ
By Narciso Zamora
I recently returned from a church-planting trip to a small town of Luya, that on a good day, is about 15 hours by bus from my home in Cajamarca. I'm happy to say that I was well received. One day, we had 14 meet together, 17 on another day, and 10 new children came to meet with us as well. The three families I worked with are now meeting for Bible studies and we're preparing materials for them to evangelize, disciple and cement their new congregation.
I thank God for the outcome of that trip, and I had plenty of reason to praise God for the journey too.
I left on a Tuesday morning at 4 a.m. for a 17-hour trip on a mini-bus. All day we went up and down hills and mountains, with narrow curves where only one vehicle at a time could pass. If we met up with another vehicle, one of us would have to back up for the length of several blocks until there was a wider spot in the road where we could pass. And if that was bad enough, it seemed that about half the trip was on roads under construction.
At 1 a.m., we finally arrived in the city of Chachapoyas. When the bus arrived, many people had someone waiting on them, and within minutes, there was only me and another young man standing around. He had to catch a bus out at 5 a.m. and I had to catch one at 7 a.m., so we wondered what to do for those short hours in the middle of the night.
The young man said, "Let's walk one block and see about that hotel."
We arrived and rang the bell and a young woman came out, asked for our documents, and then said, "I have room, it will be $13."
That was very expensive for me.
As I was thinking about what to do, the young man said, "I only have four hours to sleep because I have to leave again on a bus at 5 a.m."
The young lady then replied, "There is a room you could share for $10."
The hotel was pretty full that night – the room was on top floor. When we opened the door, we were surprised to see that there was only one double bed.
I placed my backpack on one side of the room and lay down on the bed. The other man just sat up on the bed.
I said, "Lay down." And then I started to tell him about the Gospel. I thought it was the best thing to do since we were as cozy as two cats in a bag! We certainly hadn't intended to end up together in a room. We talked about the Word of God for about an hour and then we prayed. The young man was a Christian, but admitted that he had been lagging in his zeal for God. It had been some months since he attended church, because he had moved and not yet found another church home.
We slept for a couple of hours after that and then the young man woke and left in time to catch his bus at 5 a.m. But those few hours meant a lot more than just a little rest for his body. That night he renewed his faith and commitment to Christ!
I was left wondering what kind of fool would take a hotel room with a total stranger – and share the same bed, no less! I had taken into account where this young man had gotten on to the bus, however, and knowing that small town he was from gave me some confidence about his character. But that was all I had to go on as I consented to sharing a room and falling to sleep with my backpack full of my ministry materials – computer, projector and films.
The trip home was another adventure. With all the road work, compounded with strong rain, our trip was delayed by eight hours. The people on the bus had eaten breakfast at 8 a.m., but we got stranded by the rain and construction in a place where there was no food to be had. There were children on the bus and they cried out of hunger. It was a tough day and people were disgruntled. When we finally were able to get through, we stopped at the first place we could find and they only had rice and potatoes to serve us. We ate it – our lunch and dinner at once – and finally made it back to Cajamarca at 12:30 a.m.
At that hour, I was not able to find any transport back to my house from the bus stop – no buses or taxis, so I had to walk. It's not safe to walk by oneself at that hour and there I was with that computer and projector in my backpack! I went praying all the way, trusting Jesús' care.
God continues to bless us as we work to establish new churches in places without evangelical churches.
Looking for Ghosts in Bambamarca
We just finished one week of classes with our Missions Institute. It was tiring, especially for my son Gerson who taught many of the classes. (He is a professor in a seminary in Lima.) We held classes in Bambamarca, and I took advantage of this time to check out a number of questionable requests for literature that were coming out of Bambamarca – addresses provided to me by the staff at Christian Triumph Company. Sadly, I was not able to find any of the addresses or people that have been requesting literature (and Bambamarca is not a big place). It's sad that people will abuse a free resource like this to turn a profit.
Moving On Before Things Come to a Standstill in Cajamarca
Tomorrow begins a general strike in the city of Cajamarca and the news reports are that it will last indefinitely until there is a resolution to the concerns about the mining companies in the State of Cajamarca. I'm concerned that the strike will close the roads and airport, so Udelia and I are leaving here on Wednesday to go to Lima, to make sure I can travel to the States on June 13.
Working with the Mensajero
Preparing the periodical for shipping throughout Peru. Udelia helps any way she can but her vision is poor, which limits what she can do.
In February 2012 we had an evangelism seminar to teach the local churches how to plant other churches. There were 27 church leaders present. In an upcoming meeting, we expect to have 35 church leaders in attendance. Before the end of this year, we are hoping to see the first fruits of our focus on church planting. Keep us in your prayers, Narciso.
Up Early at Granja Porcon
This morning I spoke to two groups of workers at Granja Porcon. Services there start at 6 a.m. – they start each day out this way! I have to get up and going by 4am to get there on time because traffic is bad going up the mountain if I leave any later and have to compete with the commuters to the gold mines.
Tomorrow I leave for the mountains with two other men. We're taking literature and the projector and films with us to help reach the people there. Pray for us!
Good Start to 2012We have begun 2012 in prayer for all the ministerial work this year. I spent the last week of 2011 working in the mountains. We inaugurated a church and had a nice visit with my son Gerson who came from Lima to preach last Friday and Sunday to the congregation here in Cajamarca.
We are starting this semester of missiology and ministerial studies on the 10th. Additionally we have a group of Sunday school teachers that we are going to train in a two-day event.
My wife Udelia's health is better now and thank God, my 10-year visa to the U.S. was renewed.
Adding More Churches to the Cajamarca Group
I am in Chota now; I got here last night and today Pastor Jorge, another brother and I are taking literature, films and Bible courses to work with during the day as we invite people to attend an evening service.
Last week I was going through the mountains, travelling toward Trujillo, in a town called Magdalena that produces fruit and sugar cane. It's between the high mountains. I walked up the mountains to visit a man had been with the Church of God (Anderson, Ind.) a long time ago. But when my wife and I left for mission work in Ecuador and Chile, no one ever came again to visit this man. There were three churches in this area and I met with the three leaders and they told me, "We are from the Church of God, but we're all alone up here. No leader has ever come to visit us. We have received visits from pastors from other churches, but nothing from the Church of God."
So in talking with these leaders and one other, they decided to join us. We are incorporated separately from the other Church of Gods (Anderson, Ind.) in Peru. To do that, we had to change our name, so we are actually recognized as a new movement, which is why the Church of God leaders in Peru have told me they don't recognize our organization as being as part of theirs. But in actuality, each region has its own corporation, and ours is the largest of the Church of God in Peru. There are three churches in the jungle, two in Lima, five between Chepen and Chiclayo on the coast and we have 16 churches in Cajamarca. And we have a plan for each congregation to plant another church within the next two years, working in conjunction with other denominations if we need to. We are praying that God will provide leaders to continue this growth.
Here Comes the Rain Again
Well, the rains have begun in Cajamarca and they are complicating our meeting in the church in Cajamarca, because rain comes in everywhere with just our ill-fitted tin roof. I think we will move evening services to twice a week, one in one home, another in another home. While it doesn't rain in the mornings, we will continue to have Sunday school for the children who come to sing, pray, do crafts and Bible Studies. We're hoping these rains bring the blessing of funds for a proper roof.
In October, I will travel to Piura to visit a man who is asking for 10,000 tracts from Christian Triumph – I hope to be able to find his home! Then the following week, I will be travelling to a new place where we will hand out testaments and tracts and have some meetings in a school for some Bible studies. We're praying that God will give us victory and that people will accept Jesus as their savior. The place is far from here – four hours by car then two on foot. We will have to carry the literature on horseback. It might also be possible to take our projector and show a film – that brings people in.
Back to Chota and then to the Coast
I have been in Chota again, but this time out in the county, to help a small church. This Monday, I'm leaving again for three days out in the country to have evangelistic services and see about possibly helping a new church that is starting up in the mountains. On Sept 3, I travel to the coast to do a seminar on evangelism and do an evangelistic campaign. Prayers, please.
Narciso Zamora
Estuve nuevamente en chota pero por el campo, para ayudar a una iglesia pequeña. Este lunes salgo nuevamente para el campo por 3 días para tener cultos con gente inconversa y ver las posibilidades de ayudar a levantar una iglesia que esta levantandose por las montañas. El 3 de septiembre viajo a la costa para dar un seminario sobre evangelismo y hacer una campaña evangelsitica. oraciones por favor.

Shop till You Drop on Market Day at Caraz
Here's the last of the videos we produced for our presentation at Hilltop Bible Church following our mission trip to Peru. Enjoy this colorful walk through a Peruvian market. BTW, there is an error in this video, that is, something is not quite right about the whole thing. Would love for someone to bust me on it! Look and listen.
Suffer the Children?
Hard to believe there are actually people who feel they have to suffer the children. Take a look at this sample of shining faces we met in Cajamarca, Chota and Bambamarca. Toward the start of the video, you'll see us working on materials. We took some things folks in our church had leftover from years gone by, but while there, we also printed out three months worth of lessons for four age groups, and made flannel graphs. We made 30 sets of lessons and 15 flannel sets, including 9 stories for each congregation. We only completed one of the seven do-it-yourself flannel lessons (see Jonah story in video), and then provided all the materials for the congregations to finish the other six. The other two flannel sets each church got were "store bought" (donated by Dorothy Kennedy and our church). May not sound like much, but those brief flashes of our work day are actually representing a 12-hour work day times four people, plus Bill and Baltazar helping out for about three or four hours each, plus random good Samaritan Daniel (pictured in flannel board making scene) plus about five hours times two people in Cajamarca one day buying supplies and getting copies and printouts made, plus time to find and download all the materials, plus more! All in all, about 100 combined hours of labor of love.
We gave the leaders a brief (!) demonstration on their use, but I'm thinking it was much too brief. Just got word from Narciso today that he would like us to return next year and do a two-day workshop on children's ministry. We also left a fund of 500 soles with the regional pastors group to reimburse churches who make photocopies of the lessons. If each of the churches used the materials each week, the fund would probably last about four months. Really doesn't seem like much and when you see these faces… just makes a body want to do MORE!
The View from the Andes
Thanks to Jill for sharing regarding our ministry
opportunities in Trapiche and Granja Porcon, and indeed that was the purpose of
the trip, but as Narciso said of me more than one, "A esa Hermana Dana le pican
los pies," which means loosely, I can't sit still. In fact, I coined a motto
for the trip during a planning e-mail: "We can sleep back in the States." I
wanted everyone to be prepared for a maxed out schedule – taking advantage of
every waking moment we had.
Whereas there were those dull brushing teeth moments, and we
did need some sleep, this trip did not disappoint. From sharing meals with new
friends, to hitting the road at 4 a.m. with the Walking Man, to seeing, smelling,
sampling and singing, every day was brimming with sensuality in its purest
form. Really, it's kind of hard to describe… But here's a short video from days
2 and 3 of the trip to give a glimpse of what I'm talking about.
Enjoy, Donna Lee Schillinger
Granja Porcon
We´ve just finished our week at Granja Porcon. Monday-Wednesday was a pastor´s conference. Donna had two speaking sessions and Jeanene and I enjoyed meeting the conference attendees and also the Porcon people. During the teaching sessions we three would sit in the near back rows so that Donna could translate for Jeanene and me. They were excellent topics and I´m glad God placed me there.
On Wednesday evening Donna and I, along with Narcisso, Udelia and Alberto, a Chilean pastor rode back down to Cajamarca. Thursday morning the two of us were off to shop for children´s supplies. This was great fun. Our first stop was an internet cafe were Donna printed off Bible lessons she had previously downloaded. This took over an hour and our bill was enough to make the man behind the counter smile. Then to the print shop. Donna had two print shops busy printing a total of 2000 copies. Again we left with smiling shop owners. Down to the liberia. In a small book store, we hardly had room to stand. Colors, glue, markers, and the like were on display in a glass case. It was much fun to shop this way. Ask to see a product, ask for the price, agree on the item and then ask for 14 more. The shop lady had to run upstairs to her store room several times. She happily did so. We left Cajamarca with our arms full.
Thursday-Saturday was another conference, the 24th convention of the iglesia de dios in Peru. I believe we were close to 100 in attendance. And this time we had work to do. Friday was work day. Donna, Jeanene, Evelyn and I worked from 8:30 am to 11:30 pm organizing Bible lessons and making flannel figures, only stopping briefly for lunch and dinner. Donna´s father Bill, Baltazar, and a friendly helper Daniel also helped making the flannel boards. At the end of the long day Jeanene said with a smile, ´`It feels like Christmas Eve!"
Today we passed out teaching material for children ages 3-12 to 15 different churches. Donna gave a brief instruction on how to use the lessons and flannels. It is our understanding that most churches have limited to no resources for the children in their congregations. We sent these lessons out with prayer that they will be used to teach children about our God and his Word and change lives.
This evening we are all back down in Cajamarca at the Zamora´s home. Total capacity this evening is 15! I´ve been told this is not unusual, their home has been used for many years as a welcoming respite for hermanos y hermanas en Cristo.
Granja Porcon in itself deserves a full post, but it´s late and we have an early start tomorrow. Google it. It´s a Christian cooperation. A farm and tourist spot and community of 2000 people living simple lives harmoniously.
I have few pictures of Porcon. The latter are of this afternoon in Cajamarca.
This trip took about 1 1/2 hours from Lima. It seems almost half that time was spent driving out of the city. It is large, with an abundance of traffic. Many cars, taxis, buses and horns, horns everywhere. As expected we passed many deprived neighborhoods. This was very humbling.
When we arrived in Trapiche we were greeted with hugs and kisses. This caught me off guard and it took me several minutes to regain my composure. I was touched by their sincerity.
Two years ago when Donna, Jeanene and others from our church visited Trapiche their church building was constructed of cane mats for walls and a tarp roof. They are now in four bricked walls and a tin roof. And I believe I saw two light bulbs, which were turned on after dark.
The church sang a song with a tambourine and a drum and enthusiastic hand clapping. Donna, Gerson (Narcisso's son) and the two men who came with us all spoke briefly. As did Evelyn, Donna's younger sister. Jeanene said a few words and Donna translated. I wanted to contribute so I led them in "God is so Good" because it has few words and is easy to sing in Spanish.
We then passed out glow sticks to the kids. This was exciting and new for them. Also, we passed out individual packages of soap, toothpaste, colors, etc. that were given to us by members of our church.
During the meeting the older women were busy outside preparing a dinner for us over a wood fire. They served us chicken noodle soup and a semi popped corn. It was all good.
As we started to leave the children kept asking when we would return. We could only answer that we didn't know. How I wish it wasn't so far to get to them. Our goodbyes were the same as the hellos. Kissing and hugging and utterances of hermana (sister).
My heart is full and heavy for these people. We all serve the same God and yet our lives are so different. What do I take away from this experience, what can I do?

Kanye West is at it again. He just can't leave Taylor Swift alone and once again talking about that time he jumped on stage when Taylor Swift was accepting her Best Female Video award at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Kanye had been laying low since he released his new album, The Life of Pablo when he explained his writer's frustration. "I just said what everybody else was thinking."Kanye told the crowd, "What I wanted you to know the whole time — you know, in the spirit of Nina Simone, in the spirit of real artists — this is the song that broke the writer's block for me because it's something I wanted to say so bad that they told me I couldn't say.
That night when I went onstage was the beginning of the end of my life. Lady Gaga cancelled the tour the next day. You know what night I'm talking about — when I just said what everybody else was thinking. So if I get in trouble for saying the truth, what's being said the rest of the time?
And I had to fight every day of my life when the whole world turned against me for saying out loud what everyone else felt, but that's the job of an artist, of a true artist: not to be controlled by their finances, not to be controlled by perception, but only to be controlled by their truth — what you see, what you feel — and say what you fucking feel.
You don't know, it's really overwhelming for me to perform this song for the first time and for y'all to react to it in that way. That I fought to make that the first single off of 'Pablo.' If you don't mind I'd like to do this song one more time, can I do it one more time?"

Hancock County officials were conspicuous in their absence when President Obama spent part of Monday on the Coast.
No familiar local faces appeared when Air Force One taxied into the Harrison County Air National Guard facility at 10:14 a.m. Monday. Nor did they appear when Obama's motorcade whisked him to the Gulfport Coast Guard Base to talk with elected officials from that city, Biloxi, and Harrison and Jackson Counties.
"Nobody was asked from Hancock County," said Rocky Pullman, president of the county's Board of Supervisors. "This is just another slap in the face of Hancock County."
Some local officials said they would have liked to have the president's ear for a few minutes, and the chance to express Hancock County concerns over harm the BP Deepwater Horizon tragedy is doing to the Coast.
"Just the invite … to make sure everybody who should have been there was there," said Waveland Mayor Tommy Longo. "It shocked the hell out of me when I saw on the news that he was in Gulfport."
But apparently, plenty of other people knew.
Those appearing at the meeting with the president included Gov. Haley Barbour and his wife, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker and U.S. Rep. Gene Taylor, as well as the mayors of Gulfport and Biloxi, and county supervisors representing Harrison and Jackson Counties.
Also present were the directors of the state Department of Environmental Quality, the Department of Marine Resources, and the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.
Pullman said being left out of the loop isn't unusual for Hancock County. Sometimes, he said, he feels that Mississippi "wants to give us to Louisiana, but Louisiana doesn't want us, either. We're sort of out there in no man's land."
Nor were Bay St. Louis officials asked to attend.
"We were never contacted at all," Mayor Les Fillingame said. "I don't know why we weren't invited. Our concerns are as real and as passionate as anybody else's."
It remained unclear Tuesday who made up the guest list for the president's visit. Pullman said that before the event, he heard from Barbour aide Ashley Edwards, who was attempting to reach Brian Adam, Hancock County's director of emergency management. But Adam apparently wasn't invited either, Pullman said. Bay St. Louis City Councilman Bill Taylor said he, too, had been unaware that local officials on the Coast would meet with Obama. "For sure, they could have invited somebody from Hancock County, the mayor or the president of the board. It wouldn't have taken much to do that," Taylor said.
Being asked to the meeting may have been largely ceremonial in its import. But the sting was real, local officials said.
"Shame on them for that," Pullman said. "Somebody owes the county an apology."

Life takes a full turn, once we have babies. They suddenly become the center of our universe and our whole life revolves around them. In our quest to being the perfect mother and father, we at times end up ignoring our partners. Our relationship as a spouse or partner slowly starts to take a back step. Do you think it's fair? Do you think its right?
This is one of the main reasons why women suffer from acute postpartum depression post-delivery. Suddenly they realize that their life has taken a paradigm shift and slowly but gradually the kids take predominance over their lives and everything else takes a back stage.
Also, many parents will realize that new born demand a lot of time and attention that does not leave the parents with much time on their own. So what do we do in such scenario? Should we just resign to fate and say that we are a mother now and hence should behave like one? We should be devoid of anything romantic?
Is indeed romance post kids – A myth or is it a reality?
What if I say, that the answer to this question actually lies within you. It is absolutely on you to decide what you want to do and how you want to do. It is your choice. Let me tell all you fellow mommies it is not a crime to enjoy on your own even if you have kids at home.
It is good for your own sanity to have some "I time or we time". Lastly, remember you wanted the kids since you were happy in the relationship with your partner and were ready to take the next step with him. (I remember how crazy I was when we started planning to conceive that I did bleach pregnancy test at home as i had no patience that time to visit market and buy the EPT). Not the other way round where you are in the relationship because of your kids. So, all you ladies out there, here are a few ways that you can keep the romance alive even post kids.
Plan a bit in advance:
It is ok to accept that some things have changed post kids and then act accordingly. Gone are the days, when you could make last minute plans and head out with your hubby. Now, with kids at home, you simply cannot make impromptu plans.
You need to think from before and make plans in advance. Yes, with determination you can do it. Do not shy out to ask for help. Remember, it takes a village to raise a child. You can ask your parents, in laws or friends to baby sit while you both step out for some time together.
Be prepared for the unexpected:
Always be prepared for the worst. There will be times, when you have been eagerly waiting to go for the much awaited Stand Up comedian live performance in town and your husband has surprised you with surprise VIP tickets for same only to realize at the last moment that your daughter is throwing up and feeling sick.
In short, no matter what the occasion or event might be, always be prepared of last minute changes due to kids. They might fall down, feel cranky, fall ill the list is endless. Do not loose heart or feel bad about it as there will always be another time in future.
You do not always need to step out:
We all love to go out for a romantic date but with kids it might be better to actually have the date at home. You can actually tuck the kids into bed and then snuggle next to your spouse with a glass of wine and watch " Notting Hill" together. There are many things that you can do together at home. The idea is to try and execute same.
Do not forget to say "I Love You":
Once we become parents, we forget to say "I love You " to each other. These 3 simple words will work like magic to brighten up your beloveds evening after a bad day in office. Please express your feelings in abundance and at all times. It will help to rekindle your feelings for each other.
Celebrate special days:
No one has said that just because you are married with kids there can be no fizz in life. Just because we have toddlers at home we cannot celebrate special days. With the Valentine's Day round the corner, use the day to add spice to your life. Buy a card for your husband. Bake his favorite cake, surprise him with his favorite perfume. Do small for him that we will appreciate. Such small things will make a difference in your life and make your other half feel special and wanted.
So all you fellow mommies out there, please use this day and all other days to rekindle the romance in your life. If you want the romance to stay in your life after kids, you need to make the effort.

Rainbow Umbrella Film Festival (RUFF) @ The Hen & Chickens Theatre
On Sunday night Darren and I went to watch some short LGBT films at the 3rd Rainbow Umbrella Film Festival (RUFF) at The Hen & Chickens Theatre in London's glitzy Islington.
The festival is run by filmmakers and aims to celebrate the very best in indie and encourage all aspects of independent LGBT film making.
Festival Director Mark Lyminister (Theatre Manager of The Hen & Chickens Theatre) says, "Rainbow umbrella has been set up to encourage actors and film makers from the LGBT community to have a platform to express their hopes, fears, desires and experiences and share them with new audiences. We aim to allow anyone with a voice, an opinion, a vision, a calling, to be free to write, act, direct and be free to express themselves through the medium of film. From first time film makers with little or no budget to the films with more experience and financial clout, they are all welcome under our umbrella! We want to share films that show every emotion of someone experiencing life as an LGBT person."

There are retaining walls and then there are retaining walls. There are retaining walls of stone. There are retaining walls of railway sleepers. Then there are retaining walls of anything and everything!
This retaining wall certainly may not be the most aesthetically pleasing and certainly may not have been the most thought out, but hey, it is a retaining wall that appears to be doing its job.
With warmer weather comes more undergrowth. More shades of green, or in this particular instance, more shades of grey then you can imagine.
Nature's very own "filler". How gloriously blessed are we to see nature's finery unfold before our very eyes?
Time seems to be flying by. Without any security or passport control to slow things down, its disappearing at the most alarming rate in this countdown to Christmas (and Hubby's return… 36 days and counting!).
The Daily Post for their Weekly Photo Challenge has offered… Tiny. This tiny mushroom proving very apt for this challenge!
This tiny mushroom comes complete with an assortment of our local mosses surrounding it, highlighting just how tiny it truly is. Clearly mushrooms has become my unofficial theme for this week, lol!

Until now we have been differentiating various functions given in the form y = f(x). But it is not necessary that functions are always expressed in this form. For example, consider one of the following relationships between x and y:
x – y – π = 0
x + sin xy – y = 0
In the first case, we can solve for y and rewrite the relationship as y = x – π. In the second case, it does not seem that there is an easy way to solve for y. Nevertheless, there is no doubt about the dependence of y on x in either of the cases. When a relationship between x and y is expressed in a way that it is easy to solve for y and write y = f(x), we say that y is given as an explicit function of x. In the latter case it is implicit that y is a function of x and we say that the relationship of the second type, above, gives function implicitly. In this subsection, we learn to differentiate implicit functions.

The Challenge of Achieving "Zero Hunger For All"
Famines are extreme events where people's access to food is denied. The world had until recently almost abolished famines.
What the world is not even close to doing is abolishing hunger and malnutrition. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), about 815 million people in the world currently go hungry, in the sense of experiencing significant deficiencies in calorie intake; this number has increased recently. A much larger number, about one-third of the global population, experience malnutrition: two billion people have deficiencies in key micronutrients such as iron, zinc and vitamin A; a similar number of people worldwide are overweight or obese.
In 2015 the United Nations approved the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), seventeen ambitious goals to address key challenges and move towards sustainable, equitable global development. Ireland played a significant role in negotiating the SDGs, co-chairing with Kenya the process that brought them to final agreement. A key principle of the SDGs is to "leave no-one behind". SDG 2 aims to end hunger and all forms of malnutrition by 2030, clearly a very ambitious aim. It seems unlikely that it will be achieved in that timeframe, but we can at least move in the right direction.
Some countries are already doing so. Take Ethiopia, a country which unfortunately became associated with famine in recent times as Ireland was in the more distant past. The politically-induced famine of 1984-85 in Ethiopia resulted in about 600,000 deaths and received huge media attention. Less well known has been the constant chronic food insecurity amongst many millions of households in Ethiopia struggling to produce enough food under poverty conditions of small landholdings, irregular rainfall, limited infrastructure and technology, and poor access to markets. Tackling these deficiencies is the focus of long-term development efforts in addition to the humanitarian work required to deal with specific food crises. Ethiopia has made considerable strides in the last two decades to overcome these deficits, mobilising internal resources as well as resources from external donor agencies including Irish Aid. Rapid economic growth and substantial public investment in agriculture, social services and infrastructure have resulted in rural poverty falling from 48% in 2000 to 26% in 2011; the real value of agricultural output increased by an average of about 9% per annum over that period and contributed to the reduction in poverty. A huge investment in social protection, the Productive Safety Net Programme, was introduced in 2005 and provides jobs, security and cash or food payments to up to eight million people in vulnerable rural households. Ethiopia has also developed a Rural Jobs Strategy with a major focus on enterprise and job creation for rural unemployed youth: a major challenge in a country where about one million new rural jobs need to be created every year to meet demand.
Many developing countries have not made the kind of progress seen in Ethiopia in recent years however. Protracted conflicts have exacerbated food insecurity in many countries, including Syria, Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia, Chad, northern Nigeria and Afghanistan: in 2017 about 124 million people across 51 countries faced crisis levels of food insecurity and both acute and chronic under-nutrition, where women and children are particularly affected. Resolving such conflicts is a difficult, necessary – but still not sufficient – requirement for dealing with food insecurity. Long-term climate change, bringing more frequent extreme weather events such as droughts which impact on agricultural production, is also contributing to food insecurity.
There are no magic bullets to achieve zero hunger for all, but there are many actions that can and need to be taken. A key requirement is investment on a large scale. It has been estimated that investing €1 in good nutrition can give a return of €16 due to improved life expectancy and productivity. Similarly investing €1 in preventing and mitigating natural disasters has been estimated to save €7 in humanitarian relief costs. Although there are many calls on global resources, investing in improving nutrition and livelihoods amongst today's rural poor makes economic sense as well as being the right thing to do to ensure that no-one does get left behind.
But what kinds of investments are needed? There are many. Shenggen Fan, Director General of the International Food Policy Research Institute, states that there is scope for "sustainable intensification" within global food production systems such that increased food production is achieved with more efficient use of natural resource inputs (soil, water etc) while reducing environmental impacts. Development of drought-tolerant crop varieties, use of precision agriculture, conservation agriculture and drop irrigation are examples of technological developments which save land and water use while potentially increasing output. The authors of the 2017 Global Nutrition Report point to a range of actions which could simultaneously deliver a range of benefits across the SDGs. For example, promoting diversification of food production can provide multiple benefits, from contributing to healthier and more diverse diets and producing crops more beneficial to the environment, to supporting women's empowerment through promotion of food-based enterprises while ensuring that time burdens are reduced. While improved food security requires increases in (the right kind of) agricultural production, improved nutrition requires actions across many sectors, including introduction of policies that promote good nutrition: this is a requirement in developed countries, faced with the growing problem of over-nutrition, as much as it is in countries which still suffer from the problems of under-nutrition.
Ireland has played, and can continue to play, a significant role in addressing the challenges of hunger and malnutrition. The memory of famine lingers on in Ireland and has contributed to the positive role played by Irish citizens, the Irish Government and Irish development organisations in responding to contemporary food crises. As important as it is to respond to the food crises which regularly hit the news headlines, we also need to be aware of the greater extent of chronic hunger and malnutrition which exists, less well noticed, but which is also an affront to our claims to be a just world. In the current Irish Government policy for International Development, "One World, One Future", the Government made a commitment to invest 20% of the Irish Aid budget to address hunger. Now, as a new policy is being developed, it is important that the Irish Government continues to show international leadership in committing substantial resources, in collaboration with a range of stakeholders, to addressing the major global challenges of hunger and malnutrition and to ensuring that there is a positive move towards achieving the SDG goal of zero hunger for all.
Dr Nick Chisholm is Director of the Centre for Global Development at UCC and Senior Lecturer in International Development in the Department of Food Business and Development. He is the organiser of the conference on Global Hunger Today: Challenges and Solutions, supported by Irish Aid, which will be held in the UCC Boole 4 Lecture Theatre on 10th – 11th May.

"Superior songs, like Ellington's 'All Too Soon ', Monk's 'Ask Me
Now' and Hart's 'It Never Entered My Mind' are perfect vehicles for Ms.
Doug Ramsey, JAZZ
The music on 'Song for Rita' is a delightful traipsing through the
land of Brazil and the samba. Duran has the spotlight often, using her
enticing and earthy voice to convey the sultry Brazilian mood.
Frank Rubolino, CADENCE
On 'Hide and Seek,' Becca Duran displays a nice feel for latinesque
songs and jazz ballads with charming arrangements on standards and originals.
Mark Halston, JAZZIZ

on a wide variety of influences which enables her to reach a diverse audience.

Lars Gandil, VICTORY MUSIC REVIEW
The entire affair is enhanced and enlivened by Thomas attractive
wife, Becca Duran, both as vocalist and composer of two of the most beguiling
tunes on the set, 'Song For Rita' and 'Au Contraire.' 'Im Glad There
is You' is here as a reminder that the artistry of this husband and wife
duo extends beyond Brazilian as Duran puts a shiny, sensuous veneer on
this classic torch song.
Dave Nathan,
This appealing CD of Latin inspired music brings to the forefront
the sympathetic vocal stylings of Becca Duran...A most enjoyable recording,
which I commend to all lovers of Latin-tinged jazz.
Al Merritt, JAZZ
Durans ambitious album, 'Song for Rita,' will be a welcome
surprise for fans of genuine Brazilian jazz who have suffered through
too many ersatz efforts. Avoiding such Jobim classics as 'Corcovado' and
'Desafinado,' now over-exposed to the point of cliche, ...less familiar
works, 'Antigua,' 'Brigas Nunca Mais' and the hauntingly beautiful 'So
Tinha de ser Com Voce.' I was most taken with Durans restless reading
of 'I Havent Got Anything Better to Do,' replete with a breathy
suggestion of tear-stained silk sheets.

On Thursday the 9th of June CSI Africa will be exhibiting at the iFacts 2016 Employee Risk Conference. CSI Africa founder and CEO Amelia Griesel will be present to answer all your polygraph-related questions, and provide strategic guidance for the implementation of cost-efficient employee risk-management strategies.
Polygraph matters in a struggling economy
The rising cost of living driven by factors such as drought and resulting food shortages as well as a weak economy and rising unemployment are motivators capable of driving seemingly ordinary folk to extreme measures.
The risks they carry with them are often not on record either; having all the qualifications and experience necessary to do the job is one thing, but are these individuals who they appear to be on paper?
After all, the lack of a record simply means there has not been a conviction – perhaps due to insufficient evidence? Questions like "Have you ever stolen something from a previous employer?" have become more important than ever – and the polygraph will see through a simple "no".
Pre-employment polygraph testing also verifies character. Substance abuse, traits or psychological disorders which may pose a danger to other employees, and general truthfulness all fall under this type of polygraph testing.
Greater hiring efficiency means better performance.
Periodic polygraph testing gives you, the employer, the opportunity to ensure that individual employees are still on the straight and narrow.
What is life like in a Thai jail?
Guest speaker Shani Krebs spent almost two decades behind bars in "the world's deadliest prison" in Thailand following his arrest and conviction for heroin trafficking. Author of Dragons & Butterflies, Shani will be sharing more about his time spent in prison, drug addiction, and how he turned his life around to become a talented artist, public speaker, and anti-drug campaigner.

In France, legally constituted property transactions require the presence of a public official.
Deeds of sale are executed by "Notaires". The French Notaire is similar to a sollicitor. They have a monopoly over the transfer of property deeds and a very good knowlegde of property market.
Property sales in France take place following the principle of written consents.
Before the official deed of sale, whereby ownership of a property is transferred to the purchaser, there is a prelimanary contract. For the prelimanary contract you can sign a private agreement with the seller. The preliminary contract commits the seller and the purchaser to a deal they will conclude by the final deed of sale.
For your protection it is better to sign a prelimary contract with a Notaire, or at least make contact with one, before signing with an estate agent.
Before signing the deed of sale there is a period of two or three months. During this period the Notaire will make inquires in order to verify ownership, permissions and any administrative charges concerning the property. The Notaire must also check for any outstanding mortgage and take into consideration the fiscal consequences of your purchase. He will also provide information about the french laws, particularly regarding the effects of the property transaction on your will.
The deed of sale must be registred by a Notaire.
The Notaire can represent both sides : the seller and the buyer. The purchaser is also allowed to have a second Notaire to assist him. Having two Notaires will not increase the fees as the fees are shared by the two Notaires and are lower than real estate brokers' commissions.
In France, the seller's Notaire is sufficient for legal purposes, however you are under no obligation to accept the Notaire of the estate agent.
After the signing, the Notaire registers the deed and pays the taxes at the applicable office. He keeps the original deed and gives you a certified copy called "copie authentique" that will be your title.
Our staff in this department are qualified, experienced and have extensive knowledge of the territory and this provides our guarantee of effectiveness.
Where the appraisal service is commissioned and the valuation used, after sales service is assured. In other words, in cases where the property value estimated by the tax authorities is disputed with respect to sale, inheritance or division of property, the client will be assisted: for response to comments and requests for relief, please contact us.
This role ends when the procedure becomes contentious.
The basic cost of a valuation for a single dwelling house is 180 euros excluding taxes. This does not include additional fees for special requirements and charges for distance, etc.. This charge is not payable if the appraisal is made ??for the purpose of selling the property and the negotiation is entrusted to our firm.
Our firm offers full service to our customers: consultation on buying and/or selling, property valuation, drafting the act of sale, advice on re-investment of funds, property management . One of the firm principals speaks excellent English. The real estate negotiation is performed under the highly regulated framework of the Office of the Notaire and the Order of the Minister of Justice of 27 May 1982.
As public officials, we are bound by the duty of care which is imposed upon us in all our activities. We can pursue that activity as part of a mandate for which we can not do the canvassing .
Realestate negotiation is an incidental activity to our firm, for which we need to demonstrate independence, fairness, impartiality and objectivity. We communicate with overseas contacts in order to more widely disseminate our offers.
The fees for the negotiation are priced according to the decree of March 8, 1978, as are almost all activities of Notaires:
From 0 to 45 734.71 euros: 5% before tax
Above 45 734.71 euros: 2.5% before tax.
This fee, over and above the ordinary costs of the sale, includes the remuneration of the firm and for the most part, the collection of duties owed to the Treasury.
To find our current listings, arranged by category, click on "Property Sales" in the menu above.
The prices indicated are inclusive of fees, meaning that only the ordinary costs of the sale are payable in addition to the price.
These offers do not constitute an offer to sell and are not permanent, as some properties may have been sold since they went online.

The Creation
Design a Dream Events was founded and created by a woman who had an event planning personality starting at a very young age. Jana, the owner of Design A Dream Events, was given the nickname "D.O." at the age of two. What does "D.O." stand for you ask?! Detail Oriented! Growing up, Jana was always the one planning surprise parties for her friends + family, or taking over the details for the next great adventure they had planned. She loved everything that went into the designing and coordinating aspect, as well as the contagious excitement it gave the people she loved. Even though Jana wasn't aware that one day she would be the owner of a wedding + event planning company, the universe knew! That nickname would be the beginning to a great journey that is now called Design A Dream Events!
Our Philosophy
Planning your wedding or event should be enjoyable and memorable. To be successful in this industry, you must to have a passion for the business, organizational skills, detail-oriented and can multitask. I guarantee; We are that!
