|Felt owl pin
Get them while they're hoot! Bad joke for the day....you're welcome. I've been using up my felt scraps and embroidery thread to make little owl pins for the store. It's a great little accent for any age, and I love making them in the evening, curled up on the couch watching "Elf". You can find my little woodsy owls at Kindel and Company.
New sweaters on the way very soon! Love to all.

New tools and plugins are becoming vital to our day to day work as character animators. As Adobe lags behind the needs of the motion graphic community, plugins such as
have started to take some of the slack on the technical side and allow us to put our focus where it counts - animating!
Dialogue around the tools we use every day is helping us to think about how tools might change for animators in the future.
Sander Van Dijk
has done an amazing job collecting ideas from animators about how After Effects could evolve for motion graphics.
Code First, animation second
Possibilities for animated experience on the web have opened up massively. Some people are doing amazing things with carefully crafted CSS animation and custom SVG animation, and popular frameworks like GSAP and Snap.svg are becoming established de-facto animation tools for the web.
But as animators our creative tools have yet to catch up with the possibilities that we now have in the browser and that can be a real barrier to creativity. The problem with these approaches is that they force us to break out of our usual workflow and can make web application of our work a painful laborious process of rebuilding animations step by step in code. Is it fun? Hell no! The focus should be on making animation on the web inventive, engaging and exciting.
One plugin that starts to connect all these dots is the amazing
Hernan Torrisi
Being able to display your animation work as a crisp vector at any size is such a huge advantage compared to wrangling gifs and weighty embedded videos. One experiment that we ended up incorporating into our new site is the headband - a set of animated character headers that sit at the top of our homepage:
Tests like this helped get our heads around the basics of bodymovin. Things get even better when you start to use code to push your animation further and get interactive! Using code you can change colours and line weight, turn layers on and off, changing direction and speed and give the user control to tweak what they are seeing. Separating animations into loops that can be triggered gives us the power to make really interesting interactive experiences much more easily.
Want to see what we mean? Scroll back up to the top and flick the power switch on the mixer to power him up!
(Codepen here)
If you've not dipped your toe into web animation yet, now is definitely an exciting time to start. Bodymovin is just one of the tools that are opening up a new world of opportunity for animators and it seems like every week there's new advancements in making animation in the browser easier and more accessible for everyone.

It's the "largest caravan built with interlocking plastic bricks"
Stepping barefoot on a LEGO brick is—as many can attest—an unpleasant experience, but just imagine sleeping on thousands of them. If that thought doesn't phase you, well… consider this cozy camper for your next home on the road. It's made entirely of LEGO bricks.
The life-size LEGO camper was revealed last year at the UK's Motorhome and Caravan Show 2015, at which point it was officially crowned the "largest caravan built with interlocking plastic bricks" in the world, as certified by Guinness World Records. It took a team of 12 professional LEGO builders an incredible 12 weeks and over 1,000 man hours to complete the project, which now measures a sizable 7.2 feet tall and 11.8 feet long. All told, the caravan build saw the placement of 215,158 individual bricks—frankly, a lot.
If its shape looks vaguely familiar, that's because it's based on a road-going T@B teardrop trailer, in fact, it shares the trailer's conventional steel frame. But apart from the chassis and a few roof support bars, this caravan is all-LEGO. Inside, there are plenty of LEGO amenities—from a faux cooktop and refrigerator, to a chess set and various cutlery. Amazingly, the sink even features running water and the overhead lights click on and off. When you're ready to get off your feet, the trailer's table can collapse and form a bed space as well. Pretty nifty. Following its big debut at the Motorhome and Caravan Show, the teardrop trailer later went on display at Birmingham's BRICK 2015 LEGO event, where it made a big splash with brick fans. RELATED: This Vintage LEGO Jeep Costs More than Some Actual Jeeps
The crew behind the life-size LEGO caravan, the UK's Bright Bricks, is no stranger to big builds. They've previously recreated a 26-foot long version of the Queen Mary and even produced a giant Iron Man Hulkbuster suit, among many other adventurous builds. Looking for some caravan fun, albeit in smaller scale? LEGO does offer a few other delightful teardrop trailers as well, for your brick-building pleasure.

|Both are V. bracteata, the green/yellow favor is the variety ' Lemon Flame. Lemon Flame is nearly one and a half times as large as the plain pink variety, however, the pink one has two flower scapes.
These are grown in a cool basement under fluorescent lights (temp avg. ~ 60°).

< 3-2 < 3-4 starting to lose it's symmetry (symmetry wasn't helped when flower head ws knocked about when plant moved upstairs for our visual pleasure).
The pink one is just now beginning actual bloom, If I can get some good pics they'll be posted soon. They'd be better in basement but its been so cold (making for a quite cool basement) that to view them there you need to dress for the occasion with extra warm apparel. When they've finished their bloom appeal up here, they'll be re-stationed in the basement under fluorescents.

As some of you might already know a lot of people have had exams lately & I was one of those unlucky people, however all my exams are now over (my last exams was last Tuesday) & I'm FREE AT LAST!!!!
To celebrate my freedom I celebrated by catching up on all the much needed sleep that I missed out on & also by hitting the shops.
On my recent little shopping trip I brought a few things when I was out with two of my lovely friends. Although I couldn't find everything that I wanted I did find a few things which I really liked & can't wait to wear.
So lets get to it . . . . The first thing which caught my eye, & momentarily stopped my heart, were the flat black loafers/slippers. I could not believe my luck when I saw these babies I had been looking for these type of shoes for the longest time ever & had no luck in finding them until recently,now I just need to find the spiked version of these shows & my life will be complete. Along with the black loafers/slippers I came across this really cool faded Aztec print T-shirt usually I wouldn't purchase something like this but when I saw it I just thought WOW & I also have a few ideas on how I could wear so you might see this T-shirt in an OOTD in the near future.
I obviously had to go into H&M, because I haven't got enough will power to walk past H&M without having a little peek, whilst I was in there I found these lovely over sized sunglasses with gold detailing at the top. I'm so glad that I brought them because THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! I also brought some gold spike earrings, which I wore recently on a night out.
My favourite & most loved purchase of the day had to be the light purple chiffon dress. What I loved the most about this dress was the gold collar tips they just added that extra something to the dress, this is another item that I wore on a recent night out & I received quiet a few compliments on it.
Bye for now :) xox

I just bought a house and there's a 5-ft orange tree planted 1 feet away from the side wall of the house (instead of the backyard). I have a couple questions:
1. Will its root be a problem to the structure of the house?
2. How big will the tree grow and how far will its root stretch to? Aside from being right next to the side wall, it's also right next to the drive way. I don't know why the previous owner planted it there. Soil area is only 2 feet deep between the side wall and the drive way. I am concern its root damaging the drive way concrete and its branches in the way of the car.
Many thanks!

Sisulu balks at Cabinet homes plan
Plans by Cabinet to reassign responsibility for the construction of public housing to municipalities could be heading for heavy waters.
National housing ministry spokesperson Marianne Merten told the Mail & Guardian last Thursday the ministry is unhappy with the proposal and "would turn this position down".
Last week Cabinet approved a proposal on alternative approaches to the funding of concurrent government functions, including housing.
Government spokesperson Themba Maseko said "the budget will be allocated to municipalities and they will be responsible for the delivery of houses".
The National Housing Department would concentrate on "policy and budget priorities", he said.
One of the main reasons for the proposal is that funds allocated for housing in provinces are sometimes used for other purposes.
Maseko said that in allocating budgets the national treasury would ensure that national priorities are included in provincial plans.
"The proposed approach seeks to achieve greater alignment between policy-making, priority-setting and to address challenges such as the non-implementation of national priorities by the different spheres, as funds are sometimes diverted to other priorities." From as early as 2005 the Department of Housing has been considering accrediting municipalities to build houses, with less reliance on provinces.
But Merten said that idea had to be reversed because municipalities do not have the capacity to manage projects. Two weeks ago representatives of the housing ministry appeared before Parliament's joint budget committee, where the matter was discussed.
Merten said the committee was told that "even those municipalities that thought they would be able to build houses are struggling".
Some of the challenges identified by the government at municipal level included lack of project management, technical and financial skills.
The spending record of local government lends support to the ministry's view. In a parliamentary briefing in May this year it was revealed that some of the R100-million earmarked for housing in the Northern Cape for the 2007/08 financial year was transferred to municipalities and no houses were built by the provincial department of local government and housing. However, the province allegedly gave money to municipalities that had not been accredited. The Sol Plaatje district municipality was the only accredited municipality to receive funding.
South African Local Government Association spokesperson Xolile George said many municipalities are already capable of taking on housing delivery responsibilities. "Unfortunately, even in cases where municipalities have proved to have the necessary capacity, they have not yet been accredited to perform the function," he said.
Further investigation by Parliament revealed that R11-million transferred to Sol Plaatje was used for unspecified infrastructure development instead of the construction of homes.
In 2006 the North West department of local government and housing withdrew the housing function from all municipalities in the province because of their weak capacity.
The provincial minister responsible for housing at that time, Phenye Vilakazi, said it was decided that housing in the province could be delivered only by the provincial department.
Before this decision the provincial housing department had transferred all the money it got from the national housing department to municipalities so they could appoint contractors.
The Mafikeng local council municipality built only 586 houses between 2000 and 2005, despite receiving provincial government funding for about 10 000 housing units.
The proposal to move the responsibility for housing delivery to municipalities is scheduled to be discussed with the provinces and the South African Local Government Association at the Presidential Coordinating Council next month.

Venezuela: Man set ablaze during anti-Maduro protest
May 22, 2017, 8:07 AM EDT
(Source: Agencia de Noticias ANDES/flickr)
Violent protests across Venezuela witnessed another horror scene on Saturday after a man was set ablaze during an anti-government demonstration in Caracas. President Nicolás Maduro labeled the incident as "a hate crime," accusing opposition protesters of targeting the man for being pro-government.
Witnesses said Orlando José Figuera was thrashed and set alight for being a thief, writes the BBC. With burns to 80 percent of his body, the man was later taken to hospital.
Venezuela has been reeling under a fierce spell of protests, demanding Maduro's ouster for his failure to keep the country's economy on track and his authoritarian style of governance, notes The Guardian.

A phase II trial of erlotinib monotherapy for pretreated elderly patients with advanced EGFR wild-type non-small cell lung cancer
A phase II trial of erlotinib monotherapy for pretreated elderly patients with advanced EGFR wild-type non-small cell lung cancer - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
BMC Research Notes
, 8:220
BackgroundErlotinib is an epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which is an effective treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC, especially those harboring activating EGFR mutations. A previous phase III trial suggested that patients with EGFR wild-type EGFR-wt NSCLC or elderly patients with disease progression after cytotoxic chemotherapy might benefit from erlotinib monotherapy. However, few studies have prospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of second- or third-line erlotinib monotherapy for elderly patients with EGFR-wt advanced or recurrent NSCLC.
MethodsPretreated patients aged ≥70 years with EGFR-wt stage IIIB-IV NSCLC or those with postoperative recurrence were enrolled and received oral erlotinib at a dose of 150 mg-day until disease progression. Primary outcome was the objective response rate ORR. Secondary end points included the disease control rate DCR, progression-free survival PFS, overall survival OS, and toxicity profile.
ResultsThis study was terminated early because of the results from a Japanese phase III trial DELTA trial. Sixteen patients were enrolled between April 2010 and May 2013. The median age was 78 years range 70–84 years. Six patients were female. Five patients had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0. Eleven 69% patients had adenocarcinoma. Fifteen 94% patients were treated with erlotinib as a second-line therapy. The ORR was 0% 95% confidence interval CI 0–17.1. DCR was 56.3% 95% CI 33.2–76.9. The median PFS and OS were 1.7 months 95% CI 1.3–2.2 and 7.2 months 95% CI 5.6–8.7, respectively. The most commonly occurring adverse events included acneiform eruption 31.3% and skin rash 25.0%. One patient developed grade 3 interstitial lung disease, which improved following steroid therapy.
ConclusionsIn pretreated elderly patients with advanced or recurrent EGFR-wt NSCLC, daily oral erlotinib was well tolerated; however, administration of the drug should not be considered as a second line therapy.

ISTANBUL, Turkey -- When Turkey's highest court banned the Islamic-oriented Welfare Party on Friday, it also ruled that the party's leader, former Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan, could not participate in politics for the next five years.
Yesterday, however, Erbakan gave no hint that he was ready to step out of public life or to leave the leadership of the Islamic movement to which he has devoted the past 30 years. He has survived jail, exile and a military coup, and he believes he can also survive a court ruling against him.
"This incident has not even the slightest importance to our great cause," Erbakan told a cheering crowd in front of Welfare's headquarters. "A great new Turkey will be founded as soon as possible. Everything has been taken into consideration. Everything has been worked out."


text: Home > Medical > Depression > Antidepressants Updated 13 March 2015 Weight can be managed when taking antipsychotics Lifestyle changes can minimise weight gain in people taking anti-psychotic drugs to treat mental illness. 1 iStock The drugs people take to help ease serious mental illnesses often contribute to weight and blood sugar problems - but researchers say a lifestyle intervention can be helpful on both fronts.The so-called "anti-psychotic drugs" that patients take to control their symptoms tend to stimulate hunger and thirst and cause metabolic changes.But in a new test of a year-long intervention, people taking these drugs for illnesses like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder were able to lose weight and improve their blood sugar levels.Read: Anti-psychotic drugs tied to diabetesWith the right tools, weight loss is possible"The results are somewhat surprising because people with serious mental illnesses have many barriers to losing weight," said lead author Carla A. Green, of the Centre for Health Research at Kaiser Permanente Northwest in Portland, Oregon. "That is really important because people with serious mental illness are already at much higher risk for obesity and obesity-related disease and they have a reduced life expectancy because of this."A number of medication side-effects, including weight gain, deter some people from taking their prescribed anti-psychotics, Green said."Our study showed that if given the right tools, they can lose similar amounts of weight as people without severe mental illnesses," she told Reuters Health by email.Clozapine (FazaClo), olanzapine (Zyprexa), quetiapine (Seroquel) and risperidone (Risperdal), which treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or other mental illnesses, have all been linked to increased risk of weight gain.Read: Antipsychotics make kids fatHow the study was conductedGreen and her team studied 200 adults who'd been taking anti-psychotic medications for at least a month and who had a body mass index (BMI) of at least 27. BMI is a measure of weight relative to height; the cut-off for "overweight" is 25.They explain in the American Journal of Psychiatry that patients were randomly assigned to an "intervention" group that participated in the new program, or a comparison group that just got their usual medical careIn the intervention group, participants attended weekly two-hour group meetings for the first six months of the study. At each session, they met with mental health counsellors and nutritionists; each meeting also included 20 minutes of physical activity.In addition, participants recorded what and how much they ate, how much they slept and how much they exercised, with a goal of at least 25 minutes of moderate activity per day.The intervention was focused on improved diet with more vegetables, fruits, and low-fat dairy, moderate caloric restriction, increased exercise primarily from walking, stress management, and improved sleep, Green said.For the second half of the year, the participants met to discuss strategies for maintaining weight loss.The comparison group did not participate in the weight loss or maintenance interventions.Results of the studyPeople in the intervention group lost an average of about 10 pounds over the duration of the study. Those in the comparison group also lost some weight, but much smaller amounts, the authors write.In the intervention group, 40 percent of participants lost at least five percent of their initial body weight, and 18 percent lost at least 10 percent of their initial weight.Over the course of the year, fasting blood sugar levels went down in the intervention group, but they went up in the comparison group.Use of anti-psychotic drugs in the U.S. has been on the rise since the 1990's, especially among kids.The intervention resulted in a relatively modest weight loss, and did not depend on the type of medication, said Dr. Daniel J. Mueller, who has done research on ways to improve psychiatric drug treatment at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto.Individual motivation is key when addressing weight loss, Mueller told Reuters Health by email. Although patients with serious mental illness face more difficulties, some will be motivated enough to overcome them, he said.Read: Alternative to anti-psychotics for schizophrenicsPrescribe drugs with low weight gain risk first"Some doctors will now routinely start treatment with relatively weight-neutral antipsychotics first, like aripiprazole (Abilify) or ziprasidone (Geodon), if they work," he said.But the drugs that work the best on average also have a high weight gain risk, like clozapine and olanzapine, or at least moderate risk, like risperidone, Mueller said."In our qualitative interviews, we found that group support was one of the most important components of our intervention," Green said. "Many of our participants said they benefited from the camaraderie of others who faced the same challenges, and this may be particularly important among people with serious mental health problems because they tend to be more socially isolated."People taking anti-psychotics can talk to their doctors about weight gain and medication alternatives, weight management programs and support groups while increasing physical activity, decreasing calories and portion size, she said."Perhaps more importantly, lifestyle change programs of this type are not routinely offered in community mental health centres because the programs focus on physical health concerns and this makes reimbursement for those services difficult if not impossible in mental health settings," Green said.That makes it hard to provide lifestyle change programs in the places where people with serious mental illnesses are most likely to be able to take advantage of them, she said.Read more:Anti-psychotics can killMany kids on anti-psychotics for ADHDAnti-psychotics over-prescribed See breaking news and the hottest health tips before anybody else by joining South Africa's biggest and best health community, like health24 on Facebook now!

Free Reaction Paper Sample
The Arabian Peninsula quickly turned into an important player in the "team" of the world, as it was rich in petroleum.
The countries of the peninsula were economically independent, but needed military companions. Their views were contradictory; the USA could hardly help them as it supported Israel. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia was transformed in to an "object of intense international scrutiny", as Faysal contributed to participation in the Arab oil embargo. Saudi monarchy was threatened by Yemen, which proclaimed itself the Yemen Arab Republic, the kingdom was not military strong enough to repulse. Oil-producing countries were not capable of controlling petroleum prices and founded the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in 1960. They began to use oil as an "instrument of diplomacy" and notified, they would "cut down on oil", the prices went up again. America became the main provider of weapon for the kingdom. King Faysal implemented a substantial plan of the country's military, economic and educational development. The ruler encouraged Islam and used it in his own purposes.
When Kuwait, being "independent principality under British protection", gained wealth and the prince benefited, as he "made no distinction between the state and the ruler". Oman's sultan Qabus managed to implement a plan of country's material improvement too. In 1971 smaller states of the Gulf: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, Fujairah, etc. achieved independence.
As before becoming an oil-producer, Arabian Peninsula was hardly paid attention to on the international arena. But it rapidly became an active "participant in the global economy". As it turned into a great economic power, it had to lead an appropriate line of conduct, strategy towards other countries, including such powerful countries as Great Britain and the USA, which profited greatly as it was the main provider of weapon for the Saudi Arabia and though the USA offered support from the very beginning it was not easy for the Arabian Peninsula to accept it. Oil-producing countries were economically but not thoroughly strong. They had to learn how to act to rule other countries which were consumers of their oil resource, including the USA, "world's largest consumer of petroleum". The Arabian Peninsula formed diplomatic relationship with the consumers, stabilized prices, thereby provided itself with necessary stability and confidence in future welfare. The Saudi Arabian King Faysal created a plan of its all-round progress and it was successful.
The population grew and elite prospered, this way of ruling is an instructive example of how a governor should beneficially use the resources available.
It is obvious that the oil embargo was a remarkable event which influenced further cooperation of the countries. Each of them is guided with their own interests but only those who possess and exploit resources for the benefit of their state, behave diplomatically reasonable, may anyway succeed.

HONOLULU -- The worst thing that happened to Michelle Wie wasn't the 2-over 72 she shot Thursday in the first round of the Sony Open that put her in 101st place. No, the worst thing was Wednesday afternoon's storm that knocked out the electricity at her house and meant she couldn't watch television.
Likely missing the cut at a PGA Tour event is one thing. Just don't mess with a 14-year-old's television time. The first teenage girl to play in a tournament on the PGA Tour didn't blow away the field, and neither did she mess up, although Wie certainly caused a stir at Waialae Country Club just by showing up.

The first annual Seniorly Holiday Party took place on Tuesday, December 8th at the AgeSong Hayes Valley Care community in San Francisco. It was a joyous evening filled with friends, laughter, and the spirit of giving. We wrote this blogpost to share the highlights with those of you who were unable to attend.
The AgeSong community were such generous hosts, offering their beautiful Forget-Me-Not Cafe as the holiday party location. Some Seniorly team members had visited before, while others were experiencing the home-like atmosphere for the first time. The space was warm and intimate, with photos of residents placed lovingly on the walls, and a miniature Christmas tree sparkling in one corner.
The AgeSong community is housed in a beautifully restored Victorian, with common areas like the cafe that were designed to support residents' connection with the larger community.
Staying true to this theme, the party was open to any AgeSong residents who wanted to attend, and we had the privilege of meeting a few interesting folks throughout the night. Public relations specialist Max Wertheimer had a great conversation with AgeSong resident Nile about his career, which included some time as an actor in the film industry.
Another AgeSong resident named Bill mingled with everyone at the party, telling stories of his family. He is especially proud of his daughter, who is working as a doctor in Orange County, California. Bill was happy to show us his room at AgeSong, which is filled with artwork and creative writing he has produced during his time as a resident. AgeSong executive director Cherese Holland was also in attendance, and her positivity was the perfect representation of AgeSong's approach to care. Their program is meant to provide elders with the opportunity to live a balanced lifestyle in a comfortable environment, allowing them to be who they really are.
Over the course of the night, we shared stories of holidays gone by and family traditions that mean the most to us. We bonded over our love of San Francisco and shared some of our favorite dining spots in the city.
Delicious food was provided by AgeSong caterers, while festive drinks were provided by the Seniorly team. We had a great time catching up with everyone and learning more about the AgeSong community.
At the end of the party, a few Seniorly team members got up to sing "Deck the Halls" for the room. During the second round, everyone joined in on the Christmas carol. We all left will full hearts and so much gratitude for the incredible team, friends, and partners we get to work with every day.
We look forward to seeing everyone soon, and wish you all the best during this holiday season.

Frequently Asked Questions
1What is Organic Farming?
In today's terminology organic farming is a method of farming system which primarily aims at cultivating the land and raising crops in such a way, as to keep the soil alive and in good health by use of organic wastes (crop, animal and farm wastes, aquatic wastes) and other biological materials along with beneficial microbes (biofertilizers and biopesticides) to grow and protect the crops for increased sustainable production in an eco-friendly pollution free environment. In philosophical terms organic farming means "farming in spirits of organic relationship. In this system everything is connected with everything else. Since organic farming means placing farming on integral relationship, we should be well aware about the relationship between the soil, water and plants, between soil-soil microbes and waste products, between the vegetable kingdom and the animal kingdom of which the apex animal is the human being, between agriculture and forestry, between soil, water and atmosphere etc. It is the totality of these relationships that is the bed rock of organic farming.
2Scientifically, where crop nutrients come from in OF?
Any given part of a plant is composed of about 30 different elements. It means all these elements or nutrients are needed and are taken-up by the plants during its growth process. A plant can access majority of them from water and air(C, H, O, N) or soil and assimilate them through biochemical processes going on in its body during the growth process. Only rest of the <10% of its body weight is accessed exclusively from soil. It is hypothesized that in organic farming plants are accessing much of the major elements (including nitrogen) from air. Not only that polycrops are key requirement in OF, there is integration of annual-perennial plants trees and animals on a given piece of land. Trees are the only agency in nature that accesses potential crop nutrients from meters down (while crop plants such as wheat and pulses draw nutrients from top 30 cm to 60 cm soil profile) in the soil and offer us on the soil surface in the form of fallen leaves and lopped branches. In conventional agro practices importance of this plant biomass (fallen leaves or lopped branches of trees) that can be harnessed by recycling, is not honored/recognized. Plant biomass is an important asset in OF and practitioners use it for crop production in various ways e.g. composting or surface mulch.
3Why restrict pesticides when India is a low user?
Yes, if calculated on the basis of quantity of pesticide use per unit area India is one of the low users. But if calculated on the basis of quantity of pesticide used in a given crop such as vegetables, it may even be more than the high use countries. It means the rate of use for a given crop and niche, it is not low. Higher chemical residues in many food items is an indication. Question 16: Where are the evidences that high yields are possible in OF? Answer : Indeed it is difficult to believe for most of us that high yields are possible without synthetic agro-chemicals. But recent research studies have indicated that high or comparable yields are possible in organic farming. Large numbers of practicing organic farmers are live examples of this possibility.
4Are OF products more nutritious?
Organic products are invariably free from chemical residues and are rich in some nutrients. There are enough indications that organically grown products are rich in vitamin-C and some minerals. Although, there may be dispute that how much superior and whether this quantity will have some significant impact on overall health scenario or not, but trends indicate their superiority over conventional products. Recently under Network Project on Organic Farming, initial studies indicate improvement in some of the quality parameters of ginger (oleoresin and oil content), turmeric (oil, oleoresin, starch and curcumin content), black pepper (oleoresin content), chillies (ascorbic acid content), cotton (ginning percentage), and vegetables (iron, manganese, zinc and copper content in tomato, French bean, cabbage, cauliflower, pea and garlic).
5What is homa farming?
Homa farming has its origin from Vedas and is based on the principle that "you heal the atmosphere and the healed atmosphere will heal you" The practitioners and propagators of homa farming call it a "revealed science". It is an entirely spiritual practice that dates from the Vedic period. The basic aspect of homa farming is the chanting of Sanskrit mantras (Agnihotra puja) at specific times in the day before a holy fire. While there is no specific agricultural practice associated with homa farming, it is believed that, the farm and household it is practiced in, is energised and "awakened". The ash that results from the puja is used to energise composts, plants, animals, etc. Homa Organic Farming is holistic healing for agriculture and can be used in conjunction with any good organic farming system.
6Is Organic Farming non-scientific and unproven?
Many people believe that OF is non-scientific. It is incorrect. Yes, it is essentially un-explored, un-researched by the mainstream system in its totality. But it does not mean that it is non-scientific. Scientists need to research and understand the underlying principles of OF. Several aspects of OF are plausible and scientifically explicable. For most scientists the claims of high yields with OF are unproven at their research farms and unpublished in the research journal. But recent researches and long term experiment trials have proved that comparable yields are possible under organic management. Large number of practicing organic farmers, their high yields and their scientific system of farming is a proof of it and can be validated and researched by the scientists.

WACO, Texas -- Almost 400 federal agents and local police officers were massed last night near the compound of a religious cult where a shootout left six people dead the day before, while inside a man who says he is Jesus Christ remained in control of what the authorities described as a massive cache of legal and illegal weapons.
As the tense standoff continued in a gloomy drizzle, White House officials questioned yesterday the timing and the execution of the raid by federal and state agencies Sunday, and whether rivalries between them had contributed to the failed effort to arrest the cult leader, David Koresh. Four agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were killed, 16 agents were wounded, and two cult members were killed in the subsequent gun battle.
Law enforcement officials in Washington announced that they had begun an investigation into the deaths and expressed concerns that the federal and local authorities might have violated procedures in their approach to the sect's 77-acre compound along a rural road 11 miles northeast of here.

Thank you all for your kind words. It helps so much to know that there is such goodness in the world. I'm so grateful to all of you, many of whom are going through so much right now. I was thinking recently that Death is no mystery. It's as certain as Sunrise - even more so. It's LIFE that can be so damned confounding.
I heard this song today on a cd I had burned for Annie to listen to during her chemo treatments, and I thought, that's just the plain truth. We're all in this together. Sometimes we're not that wild about all of our traveling companions through this world, but if we're lucky we meet a few like minded souls who make the trip fly by.
Thank you again for sharing your love, for sending healing thoughts to my friend and her family. I know that it meant a great deal to her.

Love You All
1 comment:
I love this. I vividly remember when I was pregnant with my first not being afraid of labor, because I kept thinking "if generations upon generations of women have done this, SURELY I can do it also". I have the same attitude about death and dying - it happens for everyone, and we're all in it together, so, you know, it'll be okay.
Of course, I may end up reconsidering that when I'm actually going through the process. Sort of like when I was actually going THROUGH my first labor, and all those affirmations went out the window with HOLYMOTHERMARYOFGODTHISHURTSLIKEAMOFO.
Thinking of you and wishing you peace and love.

Obama: More Work Needed to Make U.S. Auto Industry Competitive
The Big automakers are not "quite there" yet on a restructuring plan to help save the U.S. auto industry, President Obama said in an interview aired Sunday.
The president said that while the market for new cars is dropping, the plan is still to keep the U.S. auto industry as vibrant as possible.
"We think we can have a successful U.S. auto industry," Obama said on CBS' "Face the Nation."
"But it's got to be one that's realistically designed to weather this storm and to emerge -- at the other end -- much more -- lean, mean and competitive than it currently is."
Obama is expected to make an announcement Monday about his administration's plan for the industry, including General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC, which received government loans of $13.4 billion got and $4 billion, respectively, late last year. According to reports earlier this week, GM has already announced it won't need any more government money.
On "This Week," Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner refused to get ahead of an announcement by the president, only echoing Obama's wish to have a strong auto industry in the United States.
"We want it to emerge from this period of challenge stronger. That's going to require a lot of restructuring," Geithner said.
"We're prepared as a government to help that process if we believe it's going to provide the basis for a stronger industry in the future that's not going to rely on government support."

Canadian hemlock, or Tsuga canadensis, is native to North America and grows well throughout the upper Eastern states and into Canada. They are hardy in the USDA zones three to seven and they grow to heights from 50 to 70 feet tall with a spread of 30 feet. Naturally they form dense forests that allow little light to reach the forest's floor. As yard trees they need to be pruned to allow traffic underneath.
Cut off any dead, damaged or diseased foliage from the Canadian hemlock with the pruning saw or shears. Remove the foliage back to the branch collar.
Remove the drooping lower branches from the bottom of the Canadian hemlock up to about 6 to 7 feet in height, tall enough to walk under. Cut off the branches with the pruning saw before the branch collar.
Cut back any overreaching branches, or branches that are 10 or more inches past the other branches. Cut them back to the rest of the other branches with the pruning saw.

Category: Evaluation
Talking Data – Collection, Reporting and…the Closet
|June 25, 2013
|Posted by M. P. under Evaluation, Management
If you have worked in the realm of nonprofit program evaluation you may be used to the slightly disconcerting experience of being warmly welcomed by about a quarter of those assembled in the meeting room while receiving a combination of frozen half-smiles and the side (or even evil) eye by the other 75 percent. I don't blame them. According to conventional wisdom, it is likely that you are there to tell them how to do their jobs, add more paperwork to their jobs or cost them their jobs. Luckily, an increased focus on the value of data and how it can help secure funding, motivate donors and highlight program accomplishments has led to a much better understanding of its importance and, in turn, many nonprofit organizations are already collecting information to assess performance and report outcomes.
Maria Townsend is a colleague and friend whom I met nearly a decade ago and have been lucky enough to partner with again on some recent projects. During her years of research experience in both an academic setting and as an independent evaluator and consultant, she has guided many nonprofit programs through the data collection and reporting process, and since I have been after her for some time to write a guest post here I thought that a conversation about using data "for good" (especially as it is the topic of the month for the Nonprofit Blog Carnival) could provide some insights for small to mid-sized nonprofits.
Me: Reporting outcomes is a standard requirement for most funders of late, but many small nonprofits struggle to get the "evidence" that their funders, or donors, or board want to "prove" program effectiveness. Personally, I think that this is when it is best to have some professional guidance – the DIY approach may be too daunting and pull too much time and energy away from the daily operations of an organization with a staff of 10 or less. That said, hiring a research firm to handle all aspects of an evaluation may be a pipe dream for a small nonprofit and even research consultants may be too pricey to serve as a long term solution for a small organization. What is your advice to the small or start-up nonprofit?
Maria: There are low or no cost resources on data collection, survey research and program evaluation for nonprofits online or through national or regional nonprofit associations (American Evaluation Association, Canadian Evaluation Society, The Community Toolbox University of Kansas, Outreach Evaluation Resource Center). The more educated a nonprofit leader is on what they need and what their office is capable of, the better prepared they are to choose someone to assist in designing and implementing an evaluation plan that will meet them where they are. Another option is looking at small grants from funding organizations and foundations that subsidize the building of evaluation capacity within an agency.
Me: Even with an evaluator on board – in house, consultant or pro bono through a capacity building grant – a gap may exist between what a nonprofit collects to measure its program(s) and what data or even what collection instruments a funder requires for reporting purposes. How can the two competing interests be addressed efficiently?
Maria: In these situations, it is important to do a data inventory. Think of it as if you are cleaning out your closets…
Me: As if data collection didn't already have a reputation for being tedious and overwhelming.
Maria: It isn't glamorous – but stay with me. Look at what is already hanging in the closet in terms of currently collected data. How can we coordinate what we currently have to meet the new reporting requirements? Do we have a mainstay survey that can be the foundation, the little black dress (or for the fellas, the grey business suit) that you can dress up or pare down based on the occasion. Craft and insert questions to gather additional outcome data or remove items that you don't need. If you want to take the dress (or suit) to the next level you add something substantial …
Me: Ah, the statement piece… adds pop, shows confidence, represents your style.
Maria: Right –take the data you have already collected to the next level by adding a focus group or site observation that would provide qualitative data that adds context to the quantitative data. Maybe in this closet assessment you find that your wardrobe is out of season or too small – in the same way you may discover that your existing data collection is no longer a good fit for the current reporting expectations and just adding a few "extras" will not cut it. You need to do some serious shopping or in other words, major revisions or additions to the data set. This is the time to get rid of what you will not need anymore, such as surveys that are relics of past funder requirements or from programs that have since changed in scope. This is where you revise what variables you are collecting, from where (intake, assessments, and front line staff notes, supervision reports) to streamline collection processes and data entry. This is also a good time to make note of what needs to be upgraded as far as the data collection plan – moving surveys from paper to web-based platforms, collapsing data collection timelines to be more efficient and determining if staff are getting appropriate training on the process.
Me: How would you advise a client agency wondering how much data is enough data? There always seems to be too little data collected at first, which is often why we are there, but when the wish lists of what they want tracked come out — to use your closet analogy — it's like going from a sock drawer to a walk-in.
Maria: An evaluation plan is a great help in listing a program's goals and expected outcomes, paired with indicator statements which offer further clarification by listing the variables to be collected. Some evaluation plans also include the name of the person or persons responsible for collection of particular pieces of data and the preferred time schedule of collection and reporting. This plan can be introduced in phases to lessen the "data shock" associated with collection, entry and storage on a staff new to the process. It also acts a roadmap for the full transition of the collection and reporting process to the organization – from executive leadership overseeing evaluation and research to the line staff collecting data on a daily basis.
Me: What about the nonprofit that has a solid data collection plan in place but no one really knows what to do with the data because of, say…staff turnover or a change in reporting requirements?
Maria: First off, you need to clean it—make sure that the data you have is complete, fill in missing or fix incorrect identification such as names, dates, codes for services and remove duplicate entries into databases. If you have filed hardcopies of the completed forms, you can pull them to double-check any issues with data entry. It is good to have someone on staff who is very detailed oriented to review the data and prepare it for analysis. So, cleaning the data prior to analysis is the first and important step in getting good results.
Next, revisit your evaluation questions and what you said in your proposal or contract. It is easy to be the dog that sees the squirrel and gets running in a different direction on a well-intentioned whim.
Me: I have one of those (dogs that is) – but with him it's bunnies.
Maria: Keep it simple – what questions did you want to answer (what was the program's impact, who did we reach, what program components were most effective) and what do the funders want to know? Those should be your priority for data analysis. Answer those questions first and then you can look for other interesting relationships or connections (those squirrels!) that may be helpful for program planning, such as differences in participation rates or outcomes based on sub-groups.
Me: What about the nonprofit that fears the dark side of data? They know they do good work but their reports show that their overall impact is small, or their program benefits are deemed not "important" enough in this time of growing need and declining resources. It is a realistic fear.
Maria: That is why the development and communications/marketing team should be at the table as far as the data collection and reporting process. That is their niche, right?
Me: Right – storytelling is more compelling, not to mention authentic, when there is performance data to back it up. Outputs and outcomes data shouldn't be trotted out only once a year in a few pie charts in the annual report; it is an integral part of building a market and community engagement strategy. Many variables could look ridiculous when reported out of context, but are valuable as part of a larger set measuring a condition, such as overall health, mobility, academic or vocational achievement or quality of life. Communications professionals know how to use performance data to enrich the story of their nonprofit's impact. Let them.
Implementing, Modeling and Managing a Measurement Culture
|October 8, 2012

Regardless of the outcome of the upcoming election, the nonprofit social services sector – from mental health clinics to food banks – will still be challenged to meet an increased need with fewer resources and limited funding. Savvy nonprofits have already moved toward an evaluation culture, embracing logic models and short-and-long term impact data to illustrate why (and how) their programs work. Organizational innovation and unique program accomplishments are practically prerequisites for making a successful connection with alternate funding sources, including corporate partnerships, yet nonprofits are still struggling to identify and quantify their impact on clients, the community, and the overall condition they work to modify. Performance measurement, logic model and outcomes are not new or faddish terms, so why the hesitation?
The report, Tough Times, Creative Measures: What Will it Take to Help the Social Sector Embrace an Outcomes Culture? from the Urban Institute, came out of a Fall 2011 event that brought together leaders from the government, nonprofit, philanthropy, and business sectors to discuss the issue of data-driven management in social and human services and the challenges related to successfully utilizing a performance management system. Some of the challenges identified:
The difficulty of turning away from the organization's immediate needs to plan and implement a measurement system. No matter how small the agency, the demands on the executive director's time and talent are immense. Writing up an organization-wide evaluation strategy and implementation plan, including models, indicators, instruments, and data collection plans is an enormous amount of work – and I haven't mentioned the pilot testing, analysis and reporting aspects. The role of director should be to communicate progress and needs with the board as they guide the agency through this kind of culture change, not create every step of the process.
The reality that sometimes the best outcomes may not be rewarded. Conspiracy theories and snarky excuses aside, well-crafted stories, high profile connections and nonprofits with missions or target audiences that are more interesting or appealing than your own may have an easier time selling their effectiveness. That said, incomplete or inaccurate information on program impact won't help remedy the situation.
Some nonprofits may be waiting for the trends to flip and the tides to turn. Why move heaven and earth within your organization to embrace a culture that may seem like a phase (especially to long-time employees who have seen edicts from funders come and go). Buy-in for outcomes tracking and reporting may be based on acceptance of the hoop-jumping norms, not the real value of performance measurement to the overall health of the organization. It is time for boards and directors to be brave and commit to an organizational culture change – but be prepared to illustrate how it will be beneficial for staff and (more importantly) clients.
In response to these and other impediments, I mean realities, the symposium attendees identified strategic areas that would have the most impact in encouraging and implementing a data-centered culture: human and financial capital – the tenacity and the tab, creative advocacy – sector giants to back this shift, and ready-to-use systems and tools so directors don't have to start from square one. How can nonprofit leaders better model and manage a measurement culture? Why are some nonprofits hesitant to embrace this shift?
Getting Acquainted with Evaluation (Careful, it Smells Fear)

This spring I've been lucky enough to be working with a colleague on a multi-program evaluation project after an extended absence from the world of outcome measurement. It is a bit like riding a bicycle, in that your never forget HOW to do it, but it seems I did forget the pleasure that is found in working with agency staff as they help inform the evaluation plan and models, assist in identifying key indicators and witness the first round of data come in for review. Each project allows me to get up close and personal with a new nonprofit organization as well as to meet exemplary, dedicated nonprofit professionals at all phases of their careers, but there is something about evaluation that really gets to the essence of a nonprofit. I am, indeed, glad to be back in the measurement mix.
My colleague shared this link with me and because there is so much I love about this succinct, on point article, Six Pieces of Advice to Demystify Evaluation by Johanna Morariu, Director of the Innovation Network, I wanted to post on it rather than just send the link off into the tweetosphere.
No matter where your organization is in the evaluation (or for that matter strategic) planning process, start making data collection your friend. Immediately. It's not going away (ever), there are more tools than ever before to help with it, and even if you hire an outside firm to conduct your evaluation – eventually their contract ends and it falls to your organization to sustain it. Don't spend a dime on a contract or software until you know you will be able to do so. Not to worry though, a thorough consultant involves you and your staff in each step of the process and will provide the necessary technical assistance during the transition to ensure you will be able to take over the reins.
So, feel free to make eye contact with and extend a hand to that evaluation. Soon, when you are knee deep in useful data for your board, clients, funders and community supporters you won't be able to remember life without it.

I was informed by a section comd in the other Coy that as of today all transferree's that had a rank before transfer can now wear it again. Has anybody else heard about this. Just wanting to see if I can get more info before approaching my Coy staff and looking like a cnut.

Clues don't want you to know about or notice them, some may argue. Featuring Aidan Penner from The Unicorns, and Brendan Reed from The Arcade Fire, Clues have an album set for release on May 19th, on Constellation Records, which can be preordered through Insound, here. They have decided to forgo the MySpace or Facebook routes to promote their record, but instead are relying on good old fashioned word of mouth, and grass roots promotions. Check out, "Let's Get Strong". It's a track that closes the album with a hush, but is not highly indicative of what the album sounds like as a whole.
