What We Do
This is what we do.
There is a great need for help and hope in the INDOCHINA area of ASEAN. One organization alone will not be able to address all of these needs, so what we do is make connections and work together and do our part to assist others in need. If we all work together, we can see improvements in this region and eventually impact the world.
We, the Hope Connections Foundation are providing assistance to these areas of ASEAN through our partnership with other agencies. Our main focus is to provide educational opportunities and community development programs for Asian communities.
Engage = What we do
We all play a vital role in fulfilling the mission of helping others. There are various ways of providing assistance through participation in different community projects. Our foundation seeks your willingness and generosity through volunteerism. Sharing your hope and talents to underprivileged communities will be very valuable for you and for them.
We are focused in establishing and helping each child and individual achieve life changing opportunities through educational programs. We believe that education opens many doors and opportunities that will eventually change and improve the lives of the child, their families and the community.

Today's Meditation
Read 1 Timothy 6:17-19
Freely you have received, freely give.
— Matthew 10:8 (NIV)
We enjoy watching birds at the various feeders in our yard. Male ruby-throated hummingbirds are especially gorgeous, iridescent — and aggressive. Sometimes one male will drive away all the other hummers from the nectar. Once I put up a second feeder around the corner out of sight, hoping a few of the timid hummingbirds would be able to drink there while the stingy aggressor guarded "his" feeder. But no! This bird spent all his time darting back and forth between the two feeders, warding off dozens of birds. Neither he nor any of the others was able to drink a drop.
How greedy this aggressive hummingbird is! I thought. Too bad he doesn't understand that I will refill the feeder when the nectar gets low.
Then I realized how often we are like that bird in our lack of trust. God wants us to share with others the good gifts we receive. God will replenish our supply, just as I constantly refill the hummingbird feeders. But when we guard and hoard our treasures, all of us go hungry.
Jo Len Everhart
(Idaho, USA)
Thought for the Day: To see a picture of a male ruby-throated hummingbird, go to www.upperroom.org.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for being generous to us. Help us to share our love, time, and material possessions with those around us. Especially help us to share your word with others who hunger to know you. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

We will never relax our attention to our race horses, as they are our pride and glory and source of our inspiration. Born on the Turkmen land, Ahalteke horse is a symbol of a striking harmony, beauty, gracefulness and incomparable swiftness given to it by nature and developed by the labor and mind of a man.
President of Turkmenistan
Gurbanguly BERDIMUHAMEDOV
In the framework of the VII session of the International Ahalteke Horse Breeding Association, Regional Director of the International Office of Epizootics (IOE) for Central Asia Kazimiras Lukauskas awarded the certificate on the establishment of the Equine disease free zone (EDFZ) in Turkmenistan to President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. The President of Turkmenistan expressed deep gratitude to Mr. Lukauskas and the World Organisation for Animal Health for awarding the certificate that grants the status of the Equine disease free zone to Turkmenistan. The certificate opens up wide opportunities for holding equestrian games in the framework of the V Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games, the programme of which includes the show-jumping contests on the initiative of the President of Turkmenistan. The President of Turkmenistan congratulated horse breeders in Turkmenistan and foreign countries as well on this achievement. The Turkmen leader noted that the decision to grant the status of the Equine disease free zone to Turkmenistan vividly exemplified the high international authority of Turkmenistan and symbolized the trust and recognition of the emphatic success achieved by our country in the spheres of horse breeding and veterinary medicine. President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov emphasized that our country carried out systematic work on the further development of the horse breeding industry, modernization of its infrastructure, increasing the number of heads of pedigree Ahalteke horses, intensification of international cooperation in this sphere, popularization of various equestrian sports and national traditions of horse riding. The President of Turkmenistan underlined that we were proud of the trust of the Olympic Council of Asia that had delegated our country the right to host the V Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games and we would apply every effort to hold the Asian Games at the high level so that all participants of this sports event could feel the warm hospitality of our people.
In particular, the honorary title was awarded to President of the Spanish Ahalteke Horse Breeding Association Blanca de Toledo Loma Osorio, President of the Ahalteke Horse Breeding Association in France Héloïse Anémone Flavia Girardi and a horse breeder from Uzbekistan Bakturdy Ibadullayev. The President of Turkmenistan congratulated the recipients of the awards and wished them health and new professional achievements, expressing the gratitude for their hard work in augmenting the glory of Ahalteke horses and increasing their genetic pool. President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov also invited the guests to take part in the festivities on occasion of the Turkmen Horse Day including the International Exhibition and Fair and the IX International Scientific Conference "A Turkmen Horse and the World Art of Horse Breeding" held in Turkmen capital.
According to the President of Turkmenistan, development of the Ahalteke horse breeding is a priority of the state policy of Turkmenistan. Turkmenistan carries out systematic work on the further development of the horse breeding industry, modernization of its infrastructure, increasing the number of heads of pedigree Ahalteke horses, intensification of international cooperation in this sphere, popularization of various equestrian sports and national traditions of horse riding. That is vividly proved by the construction of wonderful equestrian sports complex in Turkmenistan. As an example, the President of Turkmenistan mentioned the Ashgabat Equestrian Sport Complex with a training centre and riding hall to train athletes in such sports as horseracing, marathon, show-jumping among others. A modern horse breeding complex designed for breeding 600 heads of pedigree Ahalteke horses, apartment houses as well as training centre and veterinary and quarantine centre that meet the high international standards were built in Aba Annaev settlement in Geokdepe Etrap in Ahal Velayat. Speaking about the educational programmes in this sphere, the President of Turkmenistan noted that at present the higher educational institutions in our country – the Turkmen Agricultural University and the National Institute of Sports and Tourism train specialists in horse breeding. The Turkmen State Institute of Culture prepares circus artists. The President of Turkmenistan noted that our country conducted specialized scientific research with the aim to preserve the purity of the Ahalteke breed, increase the capacity of Ahalteke horses to compete with other horse breeds in sports contests as well as widen international relations in this sphere. That is vividly testified by the successful participation of the delegations of Turkmenistan in large international equestrian sports contests and triumphal performances of the Galkynysh group of national equestrian games in many countries in the world. The journal "Heavenly Ahalteke Horses", issued by the International Ahalteke Horse Breeding Association as well as the web-site of the same name of the State News Agency of Turkmenistan that attracts readers from many countries contribute to the wide popularization of the national art of horse breeding all around the world. The President of Turkmenistan underlined the necessity to introduce the most advanced methods of testing horses through their participation in sports contests. In this regard, Turkmenistan put forward the initiative to hold the international long-distance horse marathon and show-jumping competitions in the country. President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov emphasized that the show-jumping contests were included into the programme of the V Asian Games to be held in Ashgabat in September 2017. The President of Turkmenistan expressed belief that the international competitions in this sphere would offer a powerful incentive to development of the national eques...

Members of the Government, foreign and local members of International Ahalteke Horse Association, personnel of equestrian branch of the country, mass media representatives participate in the session.

Coordinated activity of the members of the Association allowed considerably expanding the work for popularization of ahalteke horse, which are national heritage of Turkmen people and unique phenomenon of the world's culture. The outcomes of work of the Association are reviewed annually at the sessions undertaken on the threshold of the Turkmen Horse Day. Such regular meetings of the specialists and connoisseur of famous horses promote the development of backbone directions of partnership, fill it with new living content and enrich by new joint projects, urgent ideas and business contacts.
I congratulate you on the opening of International Exhibition and Fair and IX International scientific conference "Turkmen Horse and World's Art of Horse Breeding", - the message says. – Ahalteke horse is a national heritage of Turkmen people and pride of the nation. Following this, the Government pays special attention to the development of equestrian branch and sport. For the years of the independence, the primordial traditions were revived and the glory of national horse breeding art is multiplied.

Ashgabat Equestrian Complex was reconstructed; International Equestrian Complex in the Kopetdag foothills in Ahal Velayat as well as modern complexes in Balkan, Dashoguz, Lebap and Mary velayats are built and put into operation. This remarkable events gave acceleration to further growth of the branch. The programme of coming V Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games includes show jumping competitions what also indicates special attention of the State to the development of equestrian sport. We broadly celebrate Turkmen Horse Day. According to the tradition, we hold ceremonial events and different competitions. Annual specialized International Exhibition and Fair with participation of numerous foreign guests is also timed to this event. We are happy to see leading international scientists, horse-breeders and experts at IX International Scientific Conference "Turkmen Horse and World's Art of Horse Breeding". This is another evidence of recognition by the world's society that noble ahalteke horses, which are bred in Turkmen land and supplemented the treasury of universal values, are the elite among thoroughbred horses in the world. The exhibition, fair and scientific conference are called to play an important role in introduction of the world's community with the achievements of domestic equestrian sphere. It will also favour beneficial partnership with companies and private horse-breeders, which wish to establish business contacts. Turkmen breeders, coaches, jockeys and other specialists of this sphere regularly have practical study in the countries with developed equestrian sphere, take active part in specialized exhibitions, competitions and conferences. This has positive effect on organization of large international events in our country, - the message of the President highlights.

HEREWITH, first, a chronology of recent events in the Middle East, which is worth more than passing notice because it tells us of changes in the relative strength of Israel and its Arab neighbors.
Thursday, Nov. 8. Delegations of Israeli and Lebanese military officers met in the border town of Naqurah just north of the Israel-Lebanese frontier to begin talks aimed at withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from Lebanon. The talks should have begun three days earlier. They were delayed by pressure on the Lebanese government from Muslim forces opposed to any talks of any kind with Israel.
On the same evening, Nov. 8. Israeli forces in occupation in southern Lebanon arrested a group of Shiite Muslim activists suspected by the Israelis of directing harassment of Israeli troops in Lebanon. Several were apparently released that day or the next, but four were held.
Saturday, Nov. 10. The government of Lebanon announced that it had suspended the talks with Israel pending release of all the Muslim activists.
Friday, Nov. 16. Israel released and sent home the last of the Arabs they had seized on Nov. 8. His name was Mahmoud Fakih. He has been identified in news accounts as the leader of the Amal militia in occupied southern Lebanon.
He said after his release that he had been blindfolded and beaten during his nine-day captivity. He also said the Israelis had proposed that he arrange for the Shiites to provide security for Israeli interests in southern Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Lebanon took a strong opening position in the talks. It rejected as unacceptable an Israeli proposal that military control in southern Lebanon be in the hands of a so-called South Lebanese Army under the command of a Gen. Antoine Lahd. This is the former ''Hadad'' force, which was recruited, trained, and paid by Israel. It is not recognized by Lebanon as being part of the Lebanese Army and is not under the order of the government of Lebanon.
In addition to refusing to put southern Lebanon under the above Israel-controlled force, the Lebanese asked for $10 billion in reparations for the damage done in Lebanon during the Israeli invasion of 1982. The figure is roughly four times the annual grant which the US currently is paying Israel.
In other words Lebanon is the place where Israel is learning the lesson which the United States learned in Vietnam and which, perhaps, the Soviets are learning in Afghanistan. It is a mistake for any nation to engage in military ventures beyond its capabilities. The US was overcommitted in Vietnam. Israel was, and still is, overcommitted in Lebanon.
Getting out of a failed venture is humiliating at best and expensive as well. Israel still has the strongest and most efficient military force in the Middle East. But its morale has been damaged by the Lebanon invasion - for the first time in its history. Some Israelis refused to fight. Some refused to serve.
Public opinion in Israel has been bitterly divided by the Lebanon invasion. There is today pressure from part of the Israeli community for withdrawal. Half of the divided government wants to get out as soon as possible. The plain fact is that Israel cannot afford to stay much longer in Lebanon. The money cost is beyond the capability of an empty treasury and an economy staggering under nearly 1,000 percent inflation.
Lebanon has one of the most divided and fragile governments in the Middle East. Yet it dares to demand reparations and unconditional withdrawal from Israel.
Before the invasion, Israel dominated its neighborhood. Israel had the capacity to take what Arab territory it wanted. Today it must get out of Lebanon and knows it.
Israel, until the Lebanon venture, relied on its own armed forces for its security. It did not need to make peace with the Arabs. Times change. Is this the time when it just might be worthwhile for the Arabs to make a peace offer?
In Washington, the State Department is dusting off President Reagan's 1982 plan for peace in the Middle East. Israel rejected that plan when it was first made. They might be more receptive today.

Afghanistan against 'degrading' use of women in adverts
Billboards and television advertisements selling everything from mobile phones to insurance have sprung up since the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001 as the country opened up to international trade and modern marketing.
Many adverts feature young women to entice consumers, but the Afghan government said that female models should not be exploited for commercial gain.
"All commercials in which women are used as decoration and fashion, and as a tool to earn money and an image, are in fact degrading the position of Afghan women," a statement from the ministry of information and culture said.
"We ask all media to avoid broadcasting all commercials that can promote cultural destruction, and spread immorality and can lead our youths' minds to immoralities."
Under the Taliban's 1996-2001 rule, Afghanistan was cut off from almost all western influences, television was banned and women were not allowed outside the home unless wearing an all-encompassing burqa.
President Ashraf Ghani, who was inaugurated in September, has vowed to improve the status of women in the country, which remains a strictly patriarchal society. -AFP

Every day Michelle lifts Dan out of bed and bathes, dresses and feeds him before he goes to college, and she then goes to work. Dan was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) when he was three. As Dan's muscles got weaker and weaker, he stopped walking and when he was 12 he started using a wheelchair to get around. Michelle told us: "From the day of diagnosis all our lives changed forever. I look at pictures of Dan bouncing on the trampoline when he was little… DMD just takes everything away." Dan has now lost the ability to lift his arms as well. As he gets older, DMD will start to affect his lungs and then finally his heart. There is no cure. Yet it doesn't stop Dan. He is full of jokes and is good friends with his mum, and his ongoing positivity has had a massive effect on Michelle. Now she just tries to spend time with Dan whenever she can – while she can. Dan needs a new electric wheelchair as his is old, unsupportive and breaks down all the time. Michelle watches Dan sitting uncomfortably in the wheelchair all day, every day, often unable to get where he needs to be. Michelle added: "This is Dan's life. He's in the wheelchair all the time; it's how he gets around everywhere. The quality of Dan's life and spending quality time with each other is all we have. Instead we're worrying about getting a new chair and everything else…" Dan needs the right wheelchair to help his posture, increase his circulation and help him get out and about with his family and friends.

The Harlem Shake and 7 Other Geographical Mistakes
The Harlem Shake has been swallowed by the very tide that created it, returned to the ether of bad ideas, inexplicable fads and terrible memes we'll reflect on next December when we do our "remember this?" roundup.

The most infamous unsexy sexual maneuver ever named after a town in Ohio (except for our next entry), the Cleveland Steamer hopefully has never been actually performed by any loving couple and remains only the stuff of Seth Rogen comedies and unseemly websites like this one.

MTV finally cancelled this after years of wringing every sub-human penny from the greasy, booze-soaked hides of the may-as-well-have-been-inflatable cast members. Then they gave the worst one a spin off because modern TV likes to make you hate watching TV rather than enjoy it.

Once upon a time, Canada was allowed to play at being sporting. They tricked the professional leagues into letting them in because of hockey, and then they gave the world the Expos because french canadians and baseball go together like French Canadians and just about anything. Also, their stadium fell down.

Corporate leaders –especially from offshore outsourcing- in Moscow are complaining that the Russian government is not doing enough to support the industry.
Russia's leading offshore outsourcing firm recruiting talent from former Soviet republics
The software development outsourcing industry in Russia today is at about the same level as it was in India a decade ago.
Lower wages than in the U.S. and an abundance of highly skilled computer programmers make Russia a good fit for companies which need software development companies.
In reality, most countries are far behind India. But there are three up-and-comers that are worth a look in 2003.
Business process outsourcing – especially for HR, finance, call centers, medical transcription and billing functions – spread offshore during 2002 like wildfire.

Breed profiles: Maltipoo Dogs and Hairless Cats
The Maltipoo
A cross-breeding of the Maltese and a Toy or Miniature Poodle produces these adorable little dogs, and Maltipoos look like puppies even when they are full grown. They are affectionate and playful right up into old age (teen years). Their coats may be either scruffy like the Maltese or curly like the Poodle's, and white or cream are the most common colors.
Crossbred puppies often look very different from one another — even within the same litter — and can resemble either one (or neither!) of their parents. The Maltipoo is typically very small, averaging about ten pounds, and may enjoy barking quite a bit; which makes them a good choice as watchdogs. Friendly with children and other dogs, they can be easily overwhelmed and even injured by rough play.
These little dogs love to go for walks and play fetch with balls and other toys. They are also very trainable and love to perform tricks for their delighted audiences. Indoors or out, they are a compact package of fun, but they are somewhat delicate due to their small stature so they should never be left outdoors as a general rule.
Grooming needs vary depending on the type of coat, but all Maltipoos will need daily brushing; and the curlier Poodle coat requires professional grooming every 4-6 weeks. You can learn to use clippers and do the job yourself, but it must be done, because without proper grooming a Maltipoo's coat becomes a matted mess which can result in painful skin infections at the roots of their hair.
There's no need to pay big bucks for a Maltipoo: you can adopt one from an animal shelter or breed rescue organization. Social media can help too! Post a message on your Facebook page, and your entire network can help you look for that fur-ever friend.
Hairless Cats
Did you know that there are several breeds of hairless cats? The Donskoy is the oldest, and ancestor to many of them, but there is a growing variety of these curious creatures.
The Donskoy is also known as the Russian Hairless, Don Hairless, or Don Sphynx. Often mistaken for a Sphynx, their hairlessness gene is dominant whereas the Sphynx's is recessive. This means their offspring will be more consistent.
The Sphynx, which originated in Canada in 1966 from a single hairless kitten named Prune, is a relatively new breed, although hairless cats have been around for centuries. At first glance they seem to be completely naked, but you will find that the Sphynx actually sports a very fine, fuzzy coat of hair.
The Elf Cat is a hybrid cross of the American Curl and Sphynx cats. They have ears that curl back into "points" which gives them their elfish appearance. This cat has an athletic and muscular body resembling that of the Sphynx. Also like the Sphynx, Elf cats have prominent cheek bones and whisker pads. Whiskers and eyebrows, if they have them at all, are sparse and very short.
The Levkoy Cat, which has droopy ears, comes from the Ukraine, and was developed by breeding a kitty with folded ears with a Sphynx. Their name is believed to come from the Levkoy plant whose leaves resemble this feline's distinctive folded ears.
The Bambino is a hairless cat with short legs, the offspring of a Munchkin Cat and a Sphynx. A hairless, short cat with an athletic appearance; they are gentle but lively, and very affectionate. Bambinos are intelligent and friendly, one of the more "cuddly" cats: very interactive and social.
The Peterbald is a hybrid of the Russian Hairless and an Oriental Shorthair. They have a number of distinctice characteristics including a long narrow head, webbed feet and long rat-like whip of a tail. This cat sports a graceful, long body and engaging personality. Their coats range from totally smooth bald skin to a velour texture or an odd, short, brushy coat. The Peterbald makes a great companion, because they are very friendly and loving.

Hector Sants' break from his role as chief compliance officer at Barclays due to "exhaustion and stress" has highlighted the increasing strains on banks' internal policemen.
Compliance, the part of the bank which polices its activities for illegal or suspicious trades, has traditionally been one of the more sedate areas of the financial world, lacking the long hours, snap decisions and potentially huge rewards of the trading floors.
Yet in the past couple of years, many of those working in compliance are now working longer hours and facing more demands than colleagues in the front office, industry professionals say.
"The complexity of processes has really been ramped up," Sally Bernstein, co-leader of ethics and compliance services at PwC, told CNBC.
"Now everybody is highly regulated, there are a lot of demands."
(Read more: Barclays exec takes leave for stress)
And the importance of compliance can be seen both in the increased power granted to compliance officers – and the corresponding rise in their salaries. The number of U.S. compliance heads who report directly to their chief executive rose from 20 percent in 2012 to 28 percent this year, according to a recent study by consultants PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
"While financial services firms have reduced headcount elsewhere, they are still hiring in compliance," Aaron Bolton, senior consultant at recruitment company Black Swan, told CNBC.
And the problem is not limited to financial services. The accusations of bribery directed at several pharmaceutical companies' Chinese operations, including Novartis, GSK and Eli Lilly, shows how other industries are affected by failure to enforce the same standards across their global operations.
(Read more: JP Morgan ramps up compliance spend)
Sants' move had raised eyebrows because he had been no stranger to stress earlier in his career. The appointment of such a heavy-hitter, with a seat on the board (which not many compliance officers have), was seen as a clear signal from Barclays that it was serious about cracking down on dangerous activity after being found to have played a major role in rigging a key overnight banking rate known as Libor. The scandal costs a raft of top executives at the bank – including chief executive Bob Diamond -- their jobs.

Following some weight loss diets are very easy for some people. For others, they can be the toughest thing in the world, especially when they realize that they can't eat all of the foods they love. The biggest food group that many people hate to give up is fast food and they will do everything they can to justify a Big Mac's calories in their effort to lose weight.
What most people don't realize is that good weight loss diets do not mean that they've just put themselves in a position where they can no longer enjoy any of their favorite foods, it simply means that you must start being accountable for what you put into your mouth. This means that although you do want to be smart about your eating habits, avoiding fried foods, avoiding large amounts of sweets and avoiding carbs, you do want be able to pacify your cravings when you have them. Otherwise, you'll end up failing because the temptations will just be too much for you to overcome long term. This means that if you want a cookie, have a cookie! The secret is not to eat the entire bag and don't eat them every day. If you want to eat pepperoni pizza, eat pepperoni pizza! The secret is to only have 1-2 slices with a healthy salad (no dressing) instead of eating 4 slices or more. Moderation, moderation, moderation folks.
clean diet program, quick weight loss, rapid weight loss,
There are many different weight loss diets that you can choose from such as Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig and dozens of others that you could choose from. The question that I like to ask people that tell me they're on one of these weight loss diets is, "do you plan to be on it for the rest of your life?" I'm not trying to be sarcastic in any way, but this is something that many people neglect to ask before they join one of these programs. They all have helped people reach their weight loss goals before, otherwise they wouldn't be in business. However, it would be interesting to know the amount of "successful" people that are still maintaining their target weight loss goals.
You see, when a person begins a weight loss plan they need to not only lose the excess weight, they also need to learn how to eat all over again. Otherwise, the odds are good that they'll simply go back to their old eating habits once they leave the plan. You need to learn about nutrition, portion control, meal planning, diabetes and other health risks associated with being obese, how to incorporate exercise into your daily routine and the importance of sticking with it, and much more.

Christopher Oertell/Pamplin Media Group
The Oregon Department of Education has failed to help school districts use data to identify students most at risk of not graduating on time, according to an audit released Tuesday by Oregon Secretary of State's Office.
For instance, pupils who change school districts during high school have graduation rates about 30 percent worse than those who remain in the same school system. The group makes up more than 25 percent of high school enrollees, yet the education department does not track, analyze or report their graduation performance.
The percentage of Oregon students who graduate on time has inched up for the past five years — even with increases in the number of credits required, but the rate remains third worst in the nation. Only 75 percent of Oregon public high school students fails graduate on time. The average rate nationwide is 84 percent.
"We need Oregon's Department of Education to step up its game and assume its leadership role to make Oregon a leader in education," said Secretary of State Dennis Richardson. "Oregon students deserve a world-class education, and it's ODE's job to show how to get there."
The audit also found that more than 70 percent of pupils who don't graduate on time come from low-income households. The likelihood of their failure to graduate often becomes evident as early as middle school, yet the education department has neglected addressing middle-school performance and improving the transition to high school, according to the audit.
Auditors said the state could improve graduation rates by identifying specific groups of students who are struggling and targeting programs toward them. The education department's plans have focused on students of color, migrants and English language learners. But auditors found that the agency could yield better results if it also tracked and used improvement tools among pupils who transfer between districts, come from low-income households and are in middle school.
Auditors recommended that the education department collect data on individual students' grades and credit attainment to analyze and identify: when students most often fall behind, courses with high failure rates, and how performance in specific courses affects graduation. The agency then needs to draw from education research and practices in successful districts to better support students in transition and in schools with mid-range graduation rates, the audit said.
"The ODE must aggressively assess and assist school districts if they are to provide the help students need to be successful in school and graduate on-time," Richardson said.
Auditors acknowledged that the education department and schools face some limitations in financing some of the work needed to boost graduation in the state. The state Legislature does not fully fund schools, as prescribed by the state's Quality Education Model.
Colt Gill, acting deputy superintendent of schools, largely agreed with the findings of the audit.
"Many of the themes in the audit are consistent with what we have identified in recent years, and we look forward to using the audit results to move our work forward," Gill wrote in a Dec. 14 letter to Audits Division Director Kip Memmott.
Some statewide plans and funding to boost on-time graduation already are in the works. Those plans focus on reducing chronic absenteeism, preventing students from dropping out and increasing access to college-level courses in high school and to career technical education. The state's two-year budget allocates $170 million to increase graduation rates and $7.4 million to reduce chronic absenteeism. Full-day kindergarten also started in 2015 to try to help students' long-term outcomes.

Lauren London's Best Cover Shoots
Lauren London screams sexy. Ever since her film debut in ATL alongside TI, we've been following her budding acting career. Despite what most people think, Ms. London is the true testament that being beautiful doesn't open all doors, hard work and never giving up does. "Starting my career, there was a lot of rejection going on. I remember my dad telling me that if you let that define you, they'll basically make you nothing. You have to define yourself," our former cover girl revealed to us.
These day's she's only worried about her game, literally. The cali-actress stars as Keira Whitaker on BET's hit series, The Game and she's nothing like her character. As the gorgeous actress celebrates another year, take a look at her past magazine covers—starting with ours first of course.


text: SHOOT! Today, when I went to go start up my Imac G3, and pushed the button, nothing happens. Nothing at all. I've checked the power cable and connection, and made sure it is secure in the back of the computer. Does this mean the computer is totally dead? It was working fine before, but it was asleep when I left it last, and when I came back, the power cord was unplugged. If it died, which I hope not, at least it died in its sleep! :

The path of a photon bends downward just as the path of a thrown baseball does, by the same distance in the same time interval. The distance dropped in each case is $\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$. In practice, this would be an exceedingly difficult experiment to carry out. Light travels so fast (roughly a foot per nanosecond) that for it to remain in a 1-g field for one second, it would travel about 300,000 kilometers, more than 7 times around the Earth.

PROMICE (Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet) is a research project that initiated in 2007. The purpose of the project is to monitor the deglaciation along the edge of Greenland's inland ice and thus contribute to the ongoing assessment of the mass balance of Greenland's inland ice. Furthermore, the project aims to register all changes in the extent of local glaciers and ice caps and to register the recession and expansion of the edge of Greenland's inland ice.
This project is based on the fact that a heavy mass decrease currently takes place from Greenland's inland ice. The deglaciation is expected to affect the global sea level and the climate dynamics. The Arctic region in general is exposed to the global warming faster than the rest of the world, at the project will contribute to the monitoring of these changes. Thus, the project provides important data that are necessary in order to obtain a better understanding of the climate changes that occur and the effects to expect in the future.
PROMICE, which is funded by the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Building, is performed as a collaborative partnership between:
- Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS)
- Asiaq, Greenland Survey
The mass balance of the inland ice is monitored by means of data from measuring stations on the ice as well as data on the ice surface obtained from aeroplanes and satellites, combined with modelling of ice dynamics and surface melting. You can read more about the project on Promice.dk.
Asiaq e.g. supplies measurements of the run-off from locations receiving contributions from the inland ice as well as archive data.

"Item number two is to hear public comment regarding a series of articles by an investigative reporting team from FOX 8 News, New Orleans," said Rick Heck, an attorney for the state's Department of Natural Resources, during a regularly scheduled meeting of the State Mineral and Energy Board in Baton Rouge.
Wednesday's public comment came from West Bank resident Keith Cressionnie and his friend, Norman Billiot. The two men have spent 30 years researching questionable oil leases from the 1930's.
"I'm in pursuit of this justice," Cressionnie told the panel.
Cressionnie says he's taken his findings to state government before, but has been shown the door.
"I also met with an assistant attorney general several years ago," Cressionnie recalled for the board. "I brought this all up to him about Win or Lose. I said, 'How can they get away with it, how can this keep happening?'... I said, 'Is it that political?' And his answer was, 'Yeah.' That was it. Case closed."
FOX 8 News has detailed in a series of stories how former governors awarded oil leases in the 1930's. The governors themselves profited off royalties from those leases, and their shares have been passed down to descendants. Total earnings for all involved: hundreds of millions of dollars.
The biggest lease of them all is State Lease 340 in St. Mary Parish. Here's what happened:
James Noe became governor in January of 1936. He awarded State Lease 340 to W.T. Burton, who assigned some of the rights to that lease to the Texas Company. Burton kept some of the rights and assigned the rest to the Win or Lose Corporation -- a company whose president was Governor Noe. In fact, as governor, Noe had to (and did) approve the assignment from Burton to his company, Win or Lose.
"It's just unfair to the Louisiana citizens," said Cressionnie, asking the State Mineral and Energy Board -- the panel with oversight of Louisiana's oil, gas and mineral leases -- to act.
"What I'd like to ask you guys… what are y'all going to do about it? Ya know?" Cressionnie asked the members. "That's why I'm here, mainly, today."
The board heard from its attorney, Heck, who made them aware of state House Resolution 88, introduced Tuesday, that authorizes and requests La. Attorney General Buddy Caldwell to investigate whether the leases were valid, are currently valid, and if any money can be recovered by the state.
Heck asked "that the Board action would mirror what the Legislature is asking for, and that is that the information be studied by the Attorney General's office, which is, by statutory law, the attorney for the Mineral Board."
Researcher Norman Billiot reiterated the request, asking, "Could you get the Attorney General to act upon this, so that the sins of the past can be shown, can be healed?"
Board member Tom Arnold made a motion to ask the Attorney General to open an investigation.
"Any discussion by the board concerning Mr. Arnold's motion?" asked Thomas Sanders, another Board member.
There was no discussion, and no opposition to the motion's passage. The board will give the Attorney General until the end of 2012 to present his findings.
Caldwell's staff tells FOX 8 News that the Attorney General's office will consider the request from the Mineral Board when it arrives, and that the AG will comply with House Resolution 88, if and when it passes.
Speaking of that resolution, it's been assigned to the House Judiciary Committee, whose chairman is Representative Jeff Arnold from Algiers. Arnold says that committee's next meeting is Thursday, May 17, and that the author of the resolution, Rep. Pat Connick, has to make a request to place it on the agenda for that meeting.

Sometimes it's difficult to find a hotel that can provide a soft and comfortable pillow, at an affordable price.
While talking about accomodation it is worth to mention the Hotels. They are not the places where we only stay overnight in other cities but also are the sites we enjoy to pop in at downtown. For instance, why don't you spend a "Valentines" night with your lover or spouse at one of the attractive hotels of the city? Or why don't you spend a weekend in a special hotel at Sultanahmet and wander around all day long. Let's be more imaginative: What about a weekend escape to Princes' Islands?
The addresses of Special Hotels, which are mostly renovated mansions, Apart hotels together with modest and luxurious (5-star) hotels of the town are given in our Yellow Pages.
We wish you a joyous stay…

Dhaka: In a landmark verdict, the Bangladesh High Court has ruled as criminal offence handing down of punishments like caning or beating to women in the name of "fatwa" or Islamic decrees.
"Any person who issues or executes such an extra-judicial penalty must be punished for committing a criminal offence," said a two-member bench comprising Judges Syed Mahmud Hossain and Gobinda Chandra Tagore.
The bench said infliction of brutal punishment including caning, whipping and beating in local salish or arbitration by persons devoid of judicial authority constitutes violation of the constitutional rights.
The court particularly directed the authorities concerned to take punitive action against the people involved in enforcing "fatwa" against women. The verdict came yesterday on writ filed by several rights groups.
The court ordered the government, law enforcers and local government bodies, especially the municipalities and union councils, to take immediate measures against issuance or execution of extra-judicial penalties alongside providing the victims with security and protection.
The verdict came nearly a year after preliminary hearing on when the court issued a rule asking the government and the police chief in particular to explain their failure to act in time and to comply with their legal and constitutional duties in taking effective measures to prevent the imposition and execution of extralegal penalties.
In its verdict yesterday, the court asked the government to frame and adopt guidelines and orders for all the authorities concerned to report any information on the occurrence or likely occurrence of any such incident of extra-judicial penalties by any people or bodies in the name of arbitration, mediation and conciliation or fatwa.
Earlier in 2001, another High Court bench comprising judges` Golam Rabbani and Nazmun Ara Sultana delivered a verdict declaring issuance and execution of any fatwa illegal and punishable under the Penal Code.
An appeal was, however, preferred against the 2001 verdict and the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court stayed the operation of the verdict in the same year. The appeal is still pending with the Appellate Division.
The leading rights groups filed the writ on public interest on the basis of newspaper reports and investigations by the petitioners into violence inflicted on women in the name of fatwa by local religious leaders and powerful corners.
The US annual Report on International Religious Freedom last year said although Islamic tradition dictates that only `muftis` or religious scholars were authorized to declare a fatwa, village religious leaders at times made declarations in individual cases.
"Sometimes this resulted in extra-judicial punishments, often against women, for perceived moral transgressions," it read.

Julie Walters discovered acting through mime
Julie Walters discovered her acting talent during a mime lesson.
The 64-year-old actress first realized how much she enjoyed performing after a nun forced her to mime in front of the class in primary school.
Recalling her first moment in the spotlight, the 'Paddington' actress shared: ''There was this one nun [and] she used to have this miming thing you did every Friday afternoon - you had to get up in front of the class and do a mime. And the children had to guess what it was.
''Anyway, the first time that I did it, I did this gossiping woman. This nun - she was awful - but she roared with laughter! The world changed in that moment. The power of that. She said: 'You should go on the stage.' I will never forget how suddenly beautiful the classroom looked.''
Julie - who plays the housekeeper Mrs Bird in 'Paddington' - has since had to adapt her acting methods to accommodate the developments in technology, including a CGI Paddington bear.
Recalling the years she spent working on 'Harry Potter' with then-child stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, Julie told the Metro newspaper: ''They'd shoot them, then they'd shoot us talking to them when they couldn't be there. So I was kind of used to that, things appearing afterwards.''

Capture more turbine energy with CHP
Thermal applications are the key
In the evolving world of combined heat and power (CHP), the use of natural gas-fired industrial turbines rated at 1 MWe and higher with heat recovery has become increasingly attractive. These machines are built for long running hours, heavy loads and high fuel efficiency. Technology for extracting high temperature exhaust heat has also improved, so total system efficiencies of 80% and higher are often achievable.
CHP Is On the Rise
CHP applications powered by natural gas are burgeoning in popularity. One reason is the continued attractive price of the fuel. Ed Mardiat is a Principal and Director of Project Development for Burns & McDonnell, an international engineering, architectural and consulting firm. Mardiat has been extensively involved in a wide range of CHP projects.
He notes, "The abundance of and lower price for natural gas have dramatically helped CHP economics. The other related factor is environmental regulations such Industrial Boiler MACT [Maximum Achievable Control Technology] requirement, which is forcing many of the older coal-fired assets to be replaced with natural gas-fired units."
Energy System Security
Mardiat also points out that there is growing interest in micro grids. "These in combination with on-site CHP systems can improve energy security. Many industrial, institutional and government facilities are exploring these alternatives."
Turbine CHP can be used for a wide range of beneficial purposes. It makes the most sense to use turbines where the need for heat is large, the preferred thermal output is steam rather than hot water, the run-hours will be long, and the output is generally at the upper end of the turbine power range.
In a recent presentation at a Technology Marketing & Assessment Forum (TMAF) sponsored by the Energy Solutions Center, Chris Lyons from Solar Turbines and Mike Devine from Caterpillar discussed the opportunities for both large engines and combustion turbines for CHP applications. They noted that natural gas-powered CHP of both types is attractive now because of the low and stable price of the fuel, the need to control emissions, the proven nature of both technologies, high reliability and low life-cycle costs.
Choosing Between Turbines and Engines
Turbines are often the choice where the thermal load requirement is high, steam is preferable to hot water, and where the electric requirement is continuous and relatively even. These units produce large quantities of waste heat at temperatures ranging from 700° to 1,000° F – a range where high-energy steam can be efficiently extracted using a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG).
In certain applications, CHP using larger industrial turbines is an excellent fit. According to Lyons, common applications include food processing, dairy plants, breweries, pulp and paper, pharmaceuticals, district heating and cooling, colleges and universities, healthcare facilities, hotels and resorts, and penal institutions. "This is an ideal choice where there are major thermal or chilling loads."
Take Advantage of Higher Temperatures
Mardiat from Burns & McDonnell echoes this opinion, saying, "Because turbine simple cycle heat rate efficiency is lower than reciprocating engine systems, with exhaust temperatures in the 700 to 1,000 degree F range, industrial, institutional and government facilities that require an abundance of steam for heating or process loads provide the best fit for this prime mover technology." He points out that for most applications, it is important to make full use of the thermal output. "The highest efficiency and most economic CHP systems use 100% of the waste heat to provide steam or hot water." This then results in very high total system efficiencies.
Range of Sizes Available
Solar offers turbines ranging in size from the 1.2 MWe Saturn 20 unit to the two-shaft Titan 250 unit rated at 21.7 MWe. In some situations, owners prefer to have multiple units to further increase system reliability, and to allow the selected units to operate near their peak efficiency.
Lyons points out that the smaller turbines do not have efficiencies as high as with larger units, ranging from 25% to 39%. "But in CHP applications, the overall thermal efficiency can range from 70% to 90%." He suggests that most buyers size the units to match their thermal load requirement. "However the decision is also very dependent on overall electric rates and factors such as the need for plant reliability."
Longer Service Intervals
Today's combustion turbines have high reliability and designers have extended required service intervals. For Solar Turbines, Lyons explains, "Most of our turbines are designed for 30,000 hours between overhauls. However some of the smaller units go well beyond 40,000 hours." He notes, "From time to time there are issues that might require attention to prevent a premature failure."
Generally, combustion turbines operate at their peak electrical efficiency near full load. When at part load, a greater part of the fuel energy goes to the thermal load and less to the electrical. Lyons emphasizes that for combined heat and power situations, the efficiency at part load is still quite good. In situations where the turbine operates at a low level for an extended period of time, a supplemental heat source to the HRSG may be desirable.
