The attached presentation was delivered on April 25, 2017 at the Labour Department's conference to commemorate ILO World Safety Day. It addresses the challenges and best practices for the collection of occupational safety and health (OSH) data to ensure the prevention of the ill consequences that occur as a result of risk exposure. The presentation also used the case studies from three (3) international companies and their use of OSH data to inform company policy and secure a positive OSH culture.
Message from the ILO
The ILO's campaign for the 2017 World Day for Safety and Health at Work focuses on the critical need for countries to improve their capacity to collect and utilize reliable occupational safety and health (OSH) data. The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted on September 25, 2015 encompasses a global plan of action with specific targets to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. With its adoption, the capacity to collect and utilize reliable OSH data has also become indispensable for countries to fulfil their commitment to implement and report on some of the agenda's 17 sustainable development goals and their targets.
To support member States in the improvement of their capacity to collect and utilize reliable OSH data, the ILO produced a Toolbox with relevant resources and a set of fact sheets
The ILO welcomes the opportunity to work with member States, social partners and other interested parties to face this OSH data challenge and meet their commitment on the implementation of the objectives of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and their obligations under ILO conventions.

My teenage son and I will be Cooper Landing area sometime during July. Any suggestions as far as cheap cabins. We don't need fancy. I was told about Cooper Landing Fish Camp, but Googled and found nothing. Also, what would be the earliest in July one could expect to find rainbows/dollies following sockeyes up Quartz Creek?

Sport we will not await: From the Saints' perspective, the sport to observe is the playoff rematch towards the Vikings, in Minnesota, on the final Sunday evening of October. In that unforgettable playoff sport, Drew Brees had a basic second half, completing 17 of 22 passes for 177 yards with three touchdowns.

Fenerbahce will look to take care of its homecourt advantage after a dominant exhibiting in Wednesday's Game 1, which noticed Zeljko Obradovic's men take an enormous early lead and never look critically troubled. One of the best aspects of the reigning champs' performance was its ball-sharing, with its total of 21 assists – led by 11 from Kostas Sloukas – falling just one short of a club playoffs report. Baskonia, which is without Jayson Granger, needs to improve its three-level capturing: the Spanish crew is among the most correct groups within the league past the arc (39.9% through the common season), but made solely 6-of-21 attempts (28.6%) on Wednesday, not helped by the usually harmful Rodrigue Beaubois going 0-of-5. Fenerbahce additionally received the rebounding battle 34-27, though Baskonia can draw encouragement from grabbing 15 offensive boards.

Spine surgery: Ortho vs NeuroCreated by:
Medicine has evolved into a lot of specialties and subspecialties. Because of this, a lot of subspecialties have considerable overlap. For example, a neurosurgeon or an orthopedic surgeon can both treat surgical causes of low back pain.Neurosurgeons have the advantage of being able to repair the dura and treat intrinsic spinal cord diseases. Orthopedists,on the other hand, have an advantage in terms of arthrodesis and performing scoliosis surgery. In the clinical setting, it is really a matter of who the patient goes to, or who gets the referral. In the Philippines, historically, spine diseases were predominantly managed by neurosurgeons. But in the recent years, the specialty of orthopedic surgery gained more popularity and consequently, neurosurgeons began losing a lot of their patients to orthopedists. I'd like to ask, in your local setting, who do you refer to for surgical cases of low back pain? When do you refer to a neurosurgeon/orthopedist?

Filed under: Bubba, field trip, guitar, history, math, mimi, science, soccer, sports
Yesterday was designated "Put in as much of the new flooring as possible day", so I decided to take the kiddos out of the house. We decided to go to the hands on Science Museum and spend the day there. I rounded up our friend and her boys and we set out to arrive as the museum opened. We happened to pick the day that five separate schools were taking field trips there, so there were a few chaotic areas, but for the most part we had a lovely time. There was a terrible movie that we were told was geared toward preschoolers. It was about ten minutes long and so short and void of any substance that I can't believe someone actually took the time to create it. It ended abruptly and we just kind of looked at each other, not understanding why we had just paid two dollars per head to see it.
After that we spent a long time in the castle area. There was an interesting moment when Mimi felt the dress up clothes would fit better without her regular clothing on underneath. (Why does one of my children ALWAYS do this at a museum?) Then there was the issue of the ten minute shoe hunt to figure out where she left them. Then we moved to the toddler area where they always play with the water feature. I told them five or six times to play with it as much as they wanted, but to do their best not to get their shirts and pants all wet, as the temperature is always a little cool in there. Inevitably, they came away soaking and were later complaining about how cold they were. While I had the smaller two in the toddler area, Bubba went over to a math exhibit that explored things like measuring volume and folding paper incorporating geometry principles. She wasn't happy to leave that area, but lunch was next, so she didn't protest too long.
The next area was all about the flight and airplanes and animal and insects and the principles of aerodynamics that govern them. There were lots of fun hands on activities to see how these forces interact on different wing shapes. The last area held lots of examples of our local ecosystems, with many plants and animals, as well as a 12 foot tall tornado that the kids can climb up to and stick their hands in.
We were wiped out by that point and had made it through all the exhibits, so we left. We'll be returning again next month as this exhibit was being unpacked there and we're interested in seeing it in person. Maybe I'll remember my camera, too, so I can put some photos up.
We had a quick ice cream stop on the way home, and then rested for a bit and looked at the flooring progress. Then it was off to Bubba's first guitar lesson with her new instructor, Ms. J. I think she learned more in that single lesson than in all of her previous lessons with the college kid combined. I am really not exaggerating. At all. Not even a little.
In other homeschooling, we're wrapping up on Ancient Egypt. Bubba listened to the unit, but wasn't thoroughly engaged as we exhausted this topic about a year ago when she was interested in it. We learned plenty of new info, though, that we hadn't read about before. We are also working on teaching Mimi how to play Crazy 8s and Uno. Mimi's getting a stronger grasp on numbers and matching and colors and following rules, and Bubba is working on her patience and trying to keep a younger child engaged by letting her win every so often. I think it will help their relationship a lot when they can play games together without needing adult intervention.
Other than that, we've been outside a lot, watching the garden turn green and grow taller and taller. Soccer has proven to be lots of fun. Mimi cut her own practice short today due to her coach stepping on her hand by accident. Bubba's team has set up a traveling match in the next town over, so it will be fun to watch them compete.
Tomorrow is Mimi's preschool graduation. I'm likely going to cry. There will be pictures.

The Solution To Gaining 30 Pounds
Today he told me that a nurse had weighed him and he weighed in at 143 pounds. I nearly fell out of my seat, especially considering that is just a hair more than I would weigh at 5'3" if I ate 2 large pizzas by myself and didn't go to the bathroom the next morning. At 6'1", he has always been on the lean side, but he used to weigh 175 pounds. I wonder how I did not see 30 pounds of him disappear, and I wonder when it happened. Was it over the weekend while I wasn't looking? It was like I saw it, but I didn't really see it. And to hear the number out loud was shocking.
I was still thinking about the missing 30 pounds as I drove to yoga this evening and then as I rolled out my mat and started doing poses. After about 15 minutes of class, something miraculous happened. I found my brain consumed with another worry all together and it was a nice intermission from my usual woes. This time my worry was focused on gas, specifically on how to not pass gas loudly. I always try not to eat gas-causing foods the days I go to yoga, but sometimes I forget, and today it seemed as though I had forgotten to mind those usual suspects.
The moves we were doing today were ones that were putting pressure on my gas-maker. I wasn't sure what to do, but I knew I couldn't hold it in. Everyone knows that if you hold it in, eventually it will erupt out of you and without discretion. It will not care that it is coming out when the class is the quietest. Now, this wouldn't be a problem if farts were not funny and if they did not somehow have the effect of transforming people into 10 year olds. But the truth is, they are funny, incredibly funny, except when it happens to you. Then it is just unfortunate and embarrassing.
You would like to think that a room full of adults would be able to handle themselves upon hearing passed gas, but I know for a fact that certain individuals cannot. Once someone farted a great big fart during a challenging pose. He tried his hardest to act like he hadn't just let one loose, and if you looked at him, you might be inclined to believe him. But Denise and I knew, we had heard it, we were right there. I could feel the wild laughter growing in my belly. I tried so hard to hold it in, but Denise... Denise was a lost cause. Her chest was shaking so violently, I thought she might be having a seizure, which forced me to look at her and start seizing myself. The harder she tried to stop laughing, the harder she laughed and the harder I seized because of course, we didn't want him to know we knew (especially since he was trying to keep it together and all).
I was thinking about all this, when I began thinking about Alan again. And then I thought, Maybe we have it all wrong. Maybe that phrase stitched on pillows -- "laughter is the best medicine" -- should be amended. Maybe it's really "farting is the best medicine" because farts are really the source of a type of laughter that is purely innocent, contagious, uncontrollable and utterly ridiculous.
[p.s. Now that I've mentioned it, it's so going to happen to me next week, isn't it?]

LOL! Awesome. I despise yoga for that very reason- being the little farty thing that I am, it brings out the worst in me.
Ha ha, literally.
Farting is the best medicine, you are so totally right. In all seriousness, though, I hope your boyfriend gets to feeling better/gaining some weight. If someone told me I had to gain 30 lbs I'd be all, "YAY! I'VE WON THE FREAKING LOTTERY!" but I have a feeling it probably isn't quite that easy for him, huh.

Your post/writing was very interesting. You had/have me so worried about Alan for you, then laughing at the end.
Hope he gets to eating soon. I wouldn't mind losing 30 lbs, but I have it to lose. And, I wouldn't want to be sick to do it. :(
Hang in there.

The other day the kids and I were shopping, looking for a swimsuit for DD. An elderly lady walked through the swimsuit section farting with each step she took. Mind you I am always the one to tell the kids that farting is not funny, but I could not help myself. This was seriously funny. She walked on as if nothing had happened but the kids and I were left trying not to make a scene of ourselves laughing.

I would much rather fart in public rather than have my stomach make those awful noises it does when air is stuck and moving around in there.....so I say let it fly and own it! :) That's my motto. P.S. I think farting is hilarious and we should all get a good laugh out of it rather than be embarrassed. Loved the post!

I pray for you and your Allen

I agree with "better out than in". I have never understood why people just don't "let 'er rip". It is funny, and sometimes allows you to go outside while the classroom/workplace is airing out! :)
I was sick myself a few years ago, and lost a lot of weight(I also had it to lose), and was getting horribly down about the whole situation. I do not know who originated the phrase, but my wife reminded me of a saying I use quite frequently. "When life hands you lemons, you tell life, I like lemons, what else you got!" And it helped me to get through my situation. Maybe it could help yours as well.

My girlfriends and I had an indulgent lunch one afternoon and ended it with a sweet potato/yam cake at a Korean cafe. We were all so full that we decided we had to go to a yoga class to do something with our bodies! Throughout the 90 minute class my best friend next to me was telling me she had to fart the whole time! Hehe
What you say is so true! The laughter that results from passing gas is one of the funniest of times!

I remember my high school prom-my mom took a picture of me and my dad-he weighed less than I did, he'd lost so much weight.
I pray that Alan will be able to eat soon.

Light Housework Has Health Benefits
Study finds strolling and housecleaning can reduce disability risk
You've heard the recommendation: Get at least 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity exercise each week to stay healthy. But a new study finds that even light physical activity—vacuuming, pushing a shopping cart or strolling around the neighborhood—can dramatically reduce the risk of disability.
"The bottom line is to stay as active as possible," says lead study author Dorothy Dunlop, a professor with the Center for Healthcare Studies at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, in Chicago.
Though moderate-intensity activity is more beneficial, some people may be unable to perform that level of exercise (think: dancing, water aerobics or brisk walking) due to illness. So researchers decided to look at the potential benefits of lighter exercise routines.
The study, which followed for two years a group of almost 1,700 adults who were participating in a long-term study of osteoarthritis, measured the intensity of the participants' daily movements.
Researchers found that people who performed moderate-intensity exercise fared best, study subjects who frequently engaged in light physical activity were much less likely to become disabled and those who participated in light activity were one-third to one-half less likely to suffer a disability.
"Even among those who did almost no moderate activity, the more light activity they did, the less likely they were to develop disability," Dunlop says.
In other words, some activity is better than none at all.

THIEVES stole cash collected for this year's Poppy Appeal from a shop in Warwickshire as people paid tribute to the fallen.
The thieves took the cash on Armistice Day - leaving staff at butchers Aubrey Allen, in Warwick Street, Leamington, stunned when they discovered the tin missing from the counter.
The tin is believed to have contained about £20 and shop manager Russell Allen has pledged to make a donation of £50 to the appeal.
Hitting out at the thieves, he said: "I don't think they have any thought for anyone other than themselves. They probably didn't even know what date it was.
"I don't think you get any lower. "I have since been told that it is not an uncommon thing and we should tie the tin up, but I don't want to class our customers as criminals."
It is believed the thieves struck some time in the afternoon.
Mr Allen has now appealed for witnesses.
He said: "I would not expect it to happen here.
"We have regular customers and it is not our kind of style to have CCTV cameras everywhere."
The tin had been in the shop for about two weeks when the theft happened.
One week earlier another tin was taken from the counter of another Warwick Street shop, Top Dry Cleaners.

Christine de Pizan (b. ca. 1364-65-d. ca. 1430?) was a Franco-Italian woman poet well-known and highly regarded in her own day, who, although born in Venice, Italy, spent most of her childhood and all of her adult life primarily in Paris and then the abbey at Poissy and who wrote entirely in her adoptive tongue of Middle French. Her early courtly poetry is marked by her knowledge of aristocratic custom and fashion of the day, particularly involving women and the practice of chivalry; her early and later allegorical and didactic treatises reflect both autobiographical information about her life and views and also her own individualized and protofeminist approach to the scholastic learned tradition of mythology, legend, and history she inherited from clerical scholars and to the genres and courtly or scholastic subjects of contemporary French and Italian poets she admired.Supported and encouraged by important royal French and English patrons, Christine had a profound influence on fifteenth-century English poetry.
This seminar will examine her most significant writing (in translation) and will suggest how her influence and reception was reflected in several Middle English translations and works of the fifteenth century. Of interest in this seminar is the relationship between gender and reading, gender and literary reception, and the construction of female subjectivity. Within a larger historical context might be explored questions of gender and national identity, given the tension between English and French that provided a backdrop for Christine's writing.
Requirements: Weekly/biweekly one-two page (double-spaced) ungraded essays (est. 500 words); one long (15-25 pp.) seminar paper. Class attendance is mandatory; class participation and preparation expected. This course satisfies the medieval distribution requirement for graduate students in the English Department and is crosslisted as a WGST course for undergraduates.

We are so proud of them all, not only did our skydivers have to take on the challenge of jumping 12,000 feet out of a plane, they also worked really hard in raising the sponsorship that was required, in many cases far exceeding their goals.
Every penny of that money shall be going to Lakelands Hospice, and will be helping to make a difference to the lives of people in our community living with life-limiting illnesses.
We really are so thankful for the skydivers who took on this challenge and those who kindly supported them.
It was a day to remember with lots of mixed emotions and some really lovely community spirit. They were all brave soldiers and all seem to be raring to jump again next year!! Well nearly all of them! :-)
Lakelands skydiving challenge is an annual group event, and we are already looking for new jumpers for 2012.

Last week I had the opportunity to attend a Mushroom and Lichen Dye workshop being held as a part of this year's NAMA foray. Taught by Alissa Allen, the Mycopigments class charged though 40 different color samples achieved through variations in pH levels, mordant, and mushroom combinations. Our samples were dyed on wool, although similar, more muted, colors were also effective on cotton. By using dried mushrooms, the weight ratio of mushroom to wool can be more easily controlled, and the colors produced are more consistent.
The second portion of the workshop gave us the chance to create block printed silk scarves with textile designer Liann Finnerty. Using a combination of iron mordant, gum Tragacanth, and mycopigment, we could apply the thickened dye with a brush to add prints to our scarves.

Hit by accusations that "The Roar" was a boondoggle that jacked-up racing budgets for the edification of IMSA and not much else, this year the "Roar Before The 24" Daytona test included a qualifying session on Sunday which established the garage and pit locations each team will use during the Rolex 24 At Daytona race weekend on Jan. 25-28. Leading the way in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Prototype class was Brazilian driver Felipe Nasr (No. 31 Whelen Engineering Cadillac DPi-V.R) with a best time of 1 minute, 35.806 seconds (133.764 mph). Nasr was first in a top-four sweep for Cadillac, which is looking for its second consecutive Rolex 24 win after taking its debut race last year. Nasr will race full time in the WeatherTech Championship alongside 2016 Prototype champion Eric Curran in the No. 31 machine. For the Rolex 24, they welcome Mike Conway and this year's Sunoco Whelen Challenge winner, Stuart Middleton, who is following in Nasr's footsteps. Check out all of John Thawley's images from Daytona here.
Second quick in Prototype qualifying was Tristan Vautier (No. 90 Spirit of Daytona Racing Cadillac DPi-V.R) with a time of 1:36.037 (133.442 mph). Vautier is sharing the car with full-season teammate Matt McMurry and endurance driver Eddie Cheever III. "It was good," Vautier said. "All the Caddy teams, we came here with a good spirit. We want to show IMSA what we have and we pushed flat out the whole test, just because we want to maximize everything for the race and we think it is the right thing to do. We all pushed each other. I think it's good because it helps us all to learn about the car and go get those last tenths we can find in the setups. For us at Spirit of Daytona, it's been good, because the first time the car hit the ground was January 2. Things have been pretty straightforward."

Felipe Albuquerque was third in the No. 5 Mustang Sampling Cadillac he shares with Joao Barbosa and Christian Fittipaldi with a best lap of 1:36.135 (133.306 mph).
(John Thawley ~ Motorsports Photography @ ~ 248.227.0110)
Renger van der Zande was fourth at 1:36.481 (132.828 mph) in the No. 10 Konica Minolta Cadillac, co-driving with past IndyCar champion and Indy 500 winner Ryan Hunter-Reay, and defending race and series champion Jordan Taylor.
(John Thawley ~ Motorsports Photography @ ~ 248.227.0110)
Dane Cameron (No. 6 Team Penske Acura ARX-05 DPi) rounded out the top five in the Prototype class. Cameron's best lap was a 1:36.988 (132.188 mph) in the car he shares with Juan Pablo Montoya and Simon Pagenaud. Check out all of John Thawley's images from Daytona here.

Daytona Beach, February 5, 1967. The field lines up for the start of the Daytona 24 Hour behind the Dan Gurney/A.J. Foyt (No. 3 Shelby American Ford Mk II 427) and the Phil Hill/Mike Spence (No. 15 Chaparral 2F Chevrolet 396). Gurney and Foyt finished seventh; the Chaparral didn't finish due to suspension damage from an accident. Ferrari swept the top three places with Lorenzo Bandini/Chris Amon (No. 23 Ferrari 330 P3/P4) winning; Mike Parkes/Ludovico Scarfiotti (No. 24 Ferrari 330 P4) second; and Pedro Rodriguez/Jean Guichet (No. 26 North American Racing Team Ferrari 412 P) third.

Oxford and Cambridge universities are to follow in the footsteps of the great industrialists of the past by building homes for their workers.
The famous model communities of Bourneville, New Earswick, Port Sunlight and Saltaire were designed for chocolate-makers, soap-makers and mill workers by industrialists George Cadbury, Joseph Rowntree, William Lever and Titus Salt.
The new homes will be havens for university staff unable to afford soaring house prices.
The Cambridge scheme is the more ambitious of the two, with the university in the early stages of plans to build 2,500 homes in north-west Cambridge.
It has already funded a £22 million development of 206 flats for staff and postgraduates.
Some 1,500 of the homes will be for sale on the open market to local people, diluting what might otherwise have been a rather intensely academic community.
And while the old model communities were rather paternalistic - Sir Titus Salt reputedly refused to build pubs at Saltaire - the Cambridge site will include a school and what a spokesperson described as "necessary social amenities". The university's accommodation will be a mix of rent or partial equity ownership.
Oxford is planning to build 200 homes in a £40 million development at the village of Wolvercote, which borders north Oxford.
Locals appear keen. John Goddard, city councillor for Wolvercote, said: "We are confident that Oxford will build quality houses with a view to proper transport. However, a sticking point might be who lives there."
Oxford City Council has strict rules that require 50 per cent of new housing developments to be affordable to locals - unless an employer is building homes for key workers. "It is not clear whether academics are key workers," said Mr Goddard. This could be crucial. "I know of bus drivers who can't afford to live in Oxford and have to drive in from Bournemouth. It is no exaggeration to say that Oxford faces a housing crisis."
The site at Wolvercote has been owned by Oxford University Press since the 1850s and was formerly a paper mill. If the plans go ahead, the village of Wolvercote will grow by about 20 per cent.
A spokesperson for the university said: "Oxford is in the same position as many other local employers whose staff find it difficult to secure accommodation due to the high cost of the local housing market. The fact that the university has to compete for staff nationally and internationally makes matters worse."

After serving the entertainment capital of the world for so long, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority now wants to get into show business, too.
The MTA's board of directors agreed Thursday to buy a $400,000 portable multimedia theater, once used to showcase television's Power Rangers, to hold free 3-D film screenings across Los Angeles County.
But rather than candy-colored teenage superheroes, the stars of this road show will be the MTA's Blue and Gold line trains.
Agency staff members are planning to launch a new public education campaign on light-rail safety.
"Just sending out brochures and fliers isn't what makes an impression on the community," said Lynda Bybee, deputy officer of community relations for the transit agency, which hopes to begin the 3-D shows next year. "We want to get folks' attention."

Odebrecht Construction Inc. sued the Florida Department of Transportation to challenge the law, which the company said would prevent it from taking government contracts because it's a wholly owned unit of a Brazilian company that works in Cuba.
U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore said today before issuing a temporary injunction blocking enforcement of the law that federal courts had struck down two similar statutes, one in Massachusetts and another in Miami.
"It's not as if there isn't some precedent there and there hasn't been a run at this issue at this point," he said.
James Moye, an attorney for the company, argued at today's hearing that the law prevents Odebrecht Construction, "which is in complete compliance with all federal regulations, from bidding on state contracts."
Paul J. Martin, an attorney for Florida's transportation department, contended the state has a right to decide where to spend its money.
"The state of Florida no longer wishes to spend its contractor dollars with companies which are affiliated with companies that do business with Cuba," he said.
The case is Odebrecht Construction Inc. v. Prasad, 12- cv-22072, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida

In a regular city home or apartment wherein the bedroom reflects contemporary design, it remains to be plain and stark in which simplicity is really evident. Another difference is the use of shapes. In contemporary bedroom design, a rectangular shape is primarily used. This shape is thought to be effective, but at the same time beautiful, which is why there is no emphasis on decors to be placed. In other forms of bedroom design, round shapes (including ovals) are more common.
Furniture: If buying new furniture, remember to look for utility before anything else. The furniture has to be arranged in such a manner to allow easy accessibility while also allowing for adequate walking space. A childrens bedroom needs more open space to allow the children to play and move around freely.

Tracking Back
Two things that might not be from where you think they are :
- The phrase "My Bad": appears to have originated with Manute Bol (the lanky Sudanese NBA player). This blog-post [via Ennis] traces the phrase back from its usage in a Harvard classroom, back to its popularization by the movie Clueless, via "urban" basketball courts, and possibly to the Golden State Warriors to Manute himself --- a speaker of the Dinka language.
...the phrase was first used by the Sudanese immigrant basketball player Manute Bol, believed to have been a native speaker of Dinka (a very interesting and thoroughly un-Indo-Europeanlike language of the Nilo-Saharan superfamily). Says Arneson, "I first heard the phrase here in the Bay Area when Bol joined the Golden State Warriors in 1988, when several Warriors players started using the phrase." And Ben Zimmer's rummaging in the newspaper files down in the basement of Language Log Plaza produced a couple of early 1989 quotes that confirm this convincingly:It's funny because I distinctly remember that the first person I heard using the phrase was this blonde kid from North Carolina.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Jan. 10, 1989: When he [Manute Bol] throws a bad pass, he'll say, "My bad" instead of "My fault," and now all the other players say the same thing.[link]
USA Today, Jan. 27, 1989: After making a bad pass, instead of saying "my fault," Manute Bol says, "my bad." Now all the other Warriors say it too.
And this post [via this SM comment] traces the samosa/ samoosa/ samsa/ sambusek/ burek back, not to India, but to Persia, and describes its spread all over the world "from Cape Town to Singapore to Tashkent to Tel Aviv" and Oman, I might add , where they call it a Samboosa.
Food historians have established, however, that the samosa originated not in India, but in Persia. The sanbusaj, originally a Persian term for any stuffed, savory pastry or dumpling, started showing up in Persian, Arab and Turkish literature starting in the 9th century, when poet Ishaq ibn Ibrahim-al-Mausili wrote verse praising sanbusaj.My office-mate will be happy to know that the Persians are finally getting the credit that they are often denied [eg. Rumi (sometimes called Afghan), Algebra/Algorithms (credited to the Arabs) and the Persian Gulf (a.k.a Arabian Gulf)].
The first mention of the proper samosa was in Amir Khusrao's 13th century memoir of Delhi's royal court, when he mentioned "samosa prepared from meat, ghee, onion and so on." There was also the legendary explorer Ibn Battuta, who in India, wrote about the sambusak: [link]

March 26, 2010 10:30 ET
ORANGEVILLE, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 26, 2010) - The Government of Canada announced today that a housing co-operative located in Orangeville will receive more than $187,000 through Canada's Economic Action Plan, as part of the social housing renovation and retrofit investments.
The announcement was made by David Tilson, Member of Parliament for Dufferin-Caledon, on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and Minister Responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).
"Through Canada's Economic Action Plan, our government is taking action to help ensure our economic recovery and create the conditions for long-term growth," said MP Tilson. "Funding renovation and retrofit projects, like this one, will not only improve the quality of life of its residents by keeping their homes safe and affordable, but it will also help stimulate the local economy and create local jobs."
The Government of Canada, through Canada's Economic Action Plan, announced $1 billion for social housing renovation and retrofit. Of the $1 billion, $850 million is being delivered by provinces and territories on a cost-matched basis for existing federally assisted social housing projects which they administer on behalf of the partnership. The remaining $150 million is being delivered by CMHC for existing federally assisted off-reserve housing which it directly administers. Eligible repairs include general improvements, energy efficiency upgrades or conversions, and modifications in support of persons with disabilities.
The housing co-operative that will receive a contribution from the Government of Canada being announced today is Shaw's Creek Co-operative Homes Inc.
"We congratulate and thank the federal government, MP Tilson and CMHC for making a sound investment to help ensure that this affordable community is preserved as a legacy for the long-term benefit of its residents, "said Ken Elliott, President of the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada. "Today's announcement is an excellent example of stimulus funding that works towards preserving jobs, assisting the local economy, and protecting valuable affordable housing assets for Canadians."
"We are delighted that our co-operative will benefit from the federal government's renovation and retrofit initiative delivered by CMHC," said Robert Dicks, Vice-President of Shaw's Creek Co-operative Homes Inc. in Orangeville. "Not only will this funding make our co-op more energy efficient, but it will ensure that the homes at Shaw's Creek Co-operative Homes Inc. are available to meet the needs of future generations."
More information on this and other measures in Canada's Economic Action Plan, the federal government's plan to stimulate the economy and protect those hit hardest by the global recession, can be found at: www.actionplan.gc.ca.

With November typically being a month in which people reflect on things they're thankful for I figured there was no better way to kick of my list of 30s then with a list things I'm grateful for.
1. My husband
I'm sure I don't thank the saint of a man who has found it in his heart to love and marry me with all my flaws. Always dependable and steadfast I know I can count on him to look out for me. I'm lucky to have such a thoughtful and loving partner to walk by my side through life's ups and downs.
2. My mom
A strong and funny woman who has helped guide me through some of my life's challenging moments (aka: adolecence). I'm blessed to have you as a mom and friend.
3. My dad
The man I get my looks and extremely dry humor who has always been a quiet but strong source of love and support throughout my life. I'm grateful to call you my dad.
4. My grandparents
The people who were always picking me up from school and taking me here or there when I was younger. And of course the ones who spoiled me rotten. I am so thankful that I've had the opportunity to spend so much time with them.
5. My in-laws
Bad in-law jokes tend to be an easy joke for most, but I really lucked out in the in-law department. They've always embraced me as part of the family and I'm blessed to have married into such wonderful family with my family so far away.
6. My friends
I've been fortunate to meet lifelong friends in all stages of my life. Although I love spending time with friends nearby I also love having low maintenance friends that live afar.
7. My dog
The first several months with my dog were challenging to say the least, but as she's gotten older she's been a great addition to our family. It's so nice to come home to her smiley face and wagging tail. She great at playing fetch with herself - a true "only child" and she loves a lazy day of naps just as much as I.
8. My health
Although I may be currently dealing with some minor health issues my general health is excellent.
9. My education
My family prepared me for success in the best way they know how and made sure that I had a first rate education starting from kindergarten all the way through college. Everything I have today is thanks to the education I was allowed.
10. My home
It's said that a home should be your escape from the world. And I can really say that's true of my home. From my cozy bedroom to my deck-filled backyard that's perfect for entertaining I love my home and it's been an amazing first home.
11. My job
Like many people I can always find something to complain about my job, but all things said I'm thankful for the opportunity to get paid well while helping people at the same time.
12. The opportunity to travel
Between traveling with my parents and my husband I've been able to see different places in and outside of our country. Now that I live in California it makes traveling even more accessible then it used to be when I lived in Hawaii.
13. The bus driver
I am so thankful for the bus driver that gets me safely to work and back home almost every day. Not having to drive myself to work allows me to catch up on my blogging or catch some much needed shut eye.
14. Friendly strangers
Sometimes all it takes is smile from a stranger or a customer who asks how my day is going. Friendly strangers really make the world a nicer place to be in.
15. Trashy reality TV
Kardashians, Hip Hop and Hollywood, Real Housewives, 15 Kids and Counting...I love it all (much to my husband's dismay). I know a lot of people hate reality TV but sometimes there's something to be said about how relaxing and therapeutic it can be to veg out in front of the TV for a marathon of Real Housewives.
16. My comfy bed
I love sleeping and my comfy bed makes one of my favorite hobbies that much better. And nothing makes you appreciate the comfort of your own bed than a restless night in an uncomfortable foreign bed.
17. Growing up in Hawaii
This is something I admittedly did not appreciate nearly as much as I should have when I was growing up. Growing up on a beautiful tropical island with my friends and family only an hour drive away at most is an amazing way to grow up. Beautiful beaches and amazing weather pretty much year round provided a great backdrop for my childhood.
18. Bay area weather
With just the right amount of seasons I could not ask for more when it comes the the weather in the bay area. I am grateful that it gets warm enough to wear shorts I'm the summer without needing air conditioning in my home and cool enough in the fall/winter to see the leaves change colors and have an excuse to wear a nice pair of boots and jacket without having to worry about snow ruining it.
19. Double stamp Tuesdays
Our favorite sushi spot has a stamp reward program and offers double stamps on Tuesday. My husband and I take advantage of this at least once a week. On a day that's not as stressful as Monday but not quite to hump day it's nice to be able to have an excuse to treat ourselves to some good sushi.
20. Acts of kindness
From the person who picked up my wallet and gave it to a BART attendant without stealing from me to the bus driver who let me on when I realized I left my wallet at home. Simple acts like these shine bright in my memories as horrible days that were averted thanks to the kindness of others.
21. Target
In December I'll be starting a new job working for Target. I'm grateful for the opportunity to shift paths in my career when I feel like I really needed it.
22. Ice cream
Always there to brighten up a bad day...thank god for ice cream. Enough said.
23. My gas stove
For most of my life I had a gas stove and it wasn't until I moved into an apartment with an electric stove top did I realize how much better a gas stove is. That being said I am very appreciative for having a gas stove in my kitchen that gives me superior control over the temperature in which I cook with.
24. Financial security
I'm extremely grateful for the financial security hubs and I have. I know that not everyone is lucky enough to never have to worry about where their next meal is coming from or whether or not they can afford that new winter coat they desperately need.
25. Lazy weekends
Little in life is as satisfying as getting to cuddle in front of the TV in your PJ's all weekend. With the busy holiday season coming up soon it reminds me of how rejuvenating it can be to have no obligations at all. I'll take them whenever I can get them.
26. Fun co-workers
I can honestly say that I've stayed with the company I've been at for 3 years because I truly enjoy working with the people. The pharmacists and technicians I work with make coming to work bearable day in and day out. I will miss them dearly when I leave at the end of this month.
27. SHN season tickets
This is the second year hubs and I have been SHN season ticket holders and we have yet to be disappointed. I love having great musicals to look forward to year round. Not to mention the perks of being able to buy tickets in advanced for shows that aren't included in our season.
28. Online shopping
Online shopping has taken the shopping experience to another level. With free shipping and returns your home becomes your dressing room (sans overly flattering mirrors). And with websites like ebates who gives you with cash back and coupon codes for shopping it's like being paid to shop (that might be a stretch... lol)
29. Care packages
Nothing says I love you from family and friends from afar like a care package. Big to little it doesn't matter...when someone takes the time to curate and mail a package to me it always warms my heart.
30. Google
Thank goodness for google! Always there to answer those nagging questions like "who's that actor in that movie?" or "how yo tell a coworker how to stop singing at work?" on a whim. I can't even remember a time when I had to do without the convenience of google.

Not So Dirty Thirty
October marked my thirtieth year on this planet. We celebrated the momentous occasion bu going to CPK to partake in one of my favorite desserts, butter cake, and then we caught a double feature at the drive-in. It may not be what most people think of when they think of how they want to or how they had celebrated their dirty thirty...dirty isn't really my stye anyway. Hubs and I did it low key just the way I like it.
With such a big birthday under my belt I figured some life reflection was in order. Throughout this year I'll be doing a series of reflections of things I've learned, things I'm grateful for, things I aspire toward, etc. So stay tuned for some hopefully interesting reflections on my life and what lies ahead.

Article Written By Desi LaSalle
Have you ever been a fan of a superhero sidekick? I sure have. Throughout comic book history there sure have been a lot of great ones, in both Marvel and DC comics, but I personally have always liked the DC sidekicks more. One in particular is a personal favorite of mine and his name is Wally West, aka Kid Flash, who went on to gain the mantle of the Flash. Wally West, as a character, is very relatable to readers. Nephew of Iris West, fiance of Barry Allen, aka The Flash, Wally grew up in a small town called Blue Valley and was only close to one relative, Aunt Iris. Initially, he found Barry to be very dull and uninteresting, until he found out that he was the Flash that is, who later on mentored him when he gained his super speed powers and revealed to Wally his identity.
Kid Flash became Barry Allen's sidekick and had many awesome adventures with him. Soon after, Wally met Robin, aka Dick Grayson, and Aqualad, who joined forces and became the first incarnation of The Teen Titans, including Wonder Girl. To my knowledge, this is the first time that the concept of a super hero team of sidekicks banded together, in turn granting them their own comic series and having it be a success. Through this series, Wally West would have a part-time solo career, have a crush on Donna Troy, aka Wonder Girl, and leave the Titans to return to college in Blue Valley. West really was a hero with real life struggles, such as love, school and family. As a character, Kid Flash was so interesting and attractive to comic book fans due to hiss imperfections. Wally West struggles with a lot of things and there is not always a fast and happy ending in sight.
Later on Kid Flash would reappear and flourish in the pages of The New Teen Titans, this historic and legendary run was brought to us my writer Marv Wolfan and artist George Perez. In 1980, it was considered to be one of the greatest comic book runs in history. If you are going to start a back issue collection, I highly recommend it, the quality of the work on this title and the high level of sophistication in the stories just proves furthermore how far you can take a various characters in a team book. It is here where we see Wally West with an inner struggle trying to be a hero, falling in love with his teammate Raven and unsure of his decision to be a member of the Titans. Things that regular everyday people and readers would relate to, that is the true formula of success attributed to Kid Flash and the reason why so many people love this character.
Wally would later go into semi-retirement and reappear on The Crisis on Infinite Earths iconic story-line, where Barry Allen dies and Wally West assumes the mantle of The Flash. In this series we see Wally determined to live up to the legacy of The Flash, taking part in many weird and wonderful adventures. After the events of Flashpoint, Wally West was nowhere to be found in DC's New 52. The outrage in the comic book community was felt immediately. Kid Flash reappeared, but it wasn't the Wally West that we know and love, he wasn't our imperfect hero with his life like struggles. Fortunately in DC's Rebirth, and to the rejoice of comic book fans everywhere, we finally have Wally back! (YESS!!) A comic book panel with beautiful art, no words, just a tearful reunion and hug between Wally West and Barry Allen (TRULY BREATHTAKING!). Immediately, as a comic book fan, I can only think of all the possibilities there are for new stories, the Real Kid Flash, the one I grew up with, the one who struggled just as I did, who fell in love and was able to grow up through all the bumps and bruises, and still emerge a hero. Welcome Back Wally! I really missed you!
