Background Information/ Statement of the Problem:
There are many young/old people issues emerging as Bhutan goes through rapid changes. Some of these issues are directly related to the generation gap and not having activities that can usefully engage the youth in understanding the older people.
VAST Bhutan is an informal Art Club based in Thimphu, managed by a group of young and old artists. Its explicit mission is to guide and assist youth to explore their full potential through exposure and participation in art and social issues. At the same time provide an alternative positive use of free time in a productive and socially active ways.
As part of its regular activities, VAST organizes special Art Camps/workshops during summer and winter breaks for its members and other youth from the area where the camp/workshop is held. The overall aims of these endeavors are to provide opportunities to young school children to participate and develop their talents through artistic/socially useful productive activities during their free time.
The proposed "Make a Wish" project is the pilot project designed to link young people to older people from rural areas and provide a platform to regenerate the lost connection between urban youth and rural old people by young serving the old which is an age old Bhutanese tradition slowly dying out. This pilot project will tentatively commence from the 1 September to 8 September 2009 in Bumthang, Punakha and Trongsa for 12 to 15 senior citizen (60 plus) from Kabji villages. During our visit to this region a year ago, these people expressed the wish to visit important religious sites in central Bhutan. These old people will be guided and assisted by 5 young volunteers from urban Thimphu to visit temples and other cultural heritage in the region. Most of these rural participants have not crossed the boundary of their district.
Proposal: Briefly describe the project that will be implemented to address the problem/s stated above
The young participants will be fully engaged for 8 days in guiding and assisting the senior citizens. They will be actively engaged in social and cultural activities and there will also be constant interaction between rural people and urban youth with a common goal which is to narrow the gap between generation in a much creative, sensitive and constructive/meaningful manner.
Project Objectives: What objectives will be met by this project?
- Provide an opportunity for urban youth to participate, care and develop better understanding of the wealth and wisdom of the older generation.
- Provide an immediate alternative to the use of free time in a productive way, which otherwise is becoming increasingly misused by the youth.
- Provide an opportunity for the rural poor senior citizens who have not been out side of their village at all – to visit the religious and cultural heritage sites of western region of Bhutan and also provide a wider perspective of the development and changes happening in the country.
- Link the two understandings (old and young) to its relationship with natural/rural environment, cultural heritage and values.
- Set up connection of old and young people and encourage volunteerism in pursuing some aspects of fulfilling gross national happiness.

North Mahaska Boys Fall to Hawks, 61-36
North Mahaska's boy's team played a much better game in terms of mechanics, but was no match for the athleticism of Lynnville-Sully. The Hawks came into NM and left with a 61-36 victory.
"I know there are not moral victories in a loss, but I thought we played much better tonight than at BGM," said coach Seth Streebin. "No one likes to lose, but I think we grew some tonight and learned."
Midway through the first quarter NM trailed by two points, but the Hawks went on an 11-5 run for an 18-10 lead at the break. They took advantage of North Mahaska miscues to score 12 points off eight turnovers in the first half for a 36-16 advantage. NM played stronger in the second half with LS outscoring them 25-20.

Javier Bardem in talks to voice the new bad guy in Despicable Me 2
After his Oscar-winning performance in NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, every film wanted Javier Bardem to play their villain. There was BOND 23, STAR TREK 2 and CLASH OF THE TITANS 2 who were all making plays for the actor's services. But Bardem has decided on a sequel that's a little more kid-friendly. The actor is in talks to voice El Macho, the lead villain in DESPICABLE ME 2.
Not much is known about the plot of the film other than Steve Carell's Gru and his adopted daughters will face off against Macho and his bad-guy-in-waiting son El Machito. Bardem is the first new voice actor to join the cast, which will see most of the voice actors return (with the exception, I'm guessing, of Jason Segel if a new villain is on-board).
Bardem recently finished a supporting role in Terrence Malick's upcoming film and still could be, possibly, maybe be starring in BOND 23. DESPICABLE ME 2 would be the first time he's lent his voice to an animated film.
DESPICABLE ME 2, which needs a catchy subtitle, will again be directed by duo Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud.

Absolutely motivated I went back home and got on the computer. But rather than start a project of my own, I found myself traveling through the world of "Blogland" as I like to call it. One site would lead me to another, and another, and than another. I found myself immersed in a community filled with inspiration and creativity. It truly is amazing the collective amount of talent that fills this world of ours. Woman who have children, jobs, pets, single, married, or beginning to start over. All of them finding a niche that is uniquely theirs. For some it's a livelihood and others a hobby, but all of them going at it with a unified creative passion. I have listed some of my favorites here on my blog.
One afternoon when you find yourself with some time, do yourself a favor and visit some of these amazing women.
I guarantee you will walk away richer than when you sat down.
Have a really great week!

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Deworming Medication Tips and other Pet Medication topics.
Does your dog have whipworms? These parasites are virtually invisible and can only be seen under a microscope. Whipworms can cause diarrhea and anemia in some cases. One of the main signs that your dog is infected, however, is scooting. If you see your pet scooting or dragging his rear end along the ground, there's a fair chance he may be infected with whipworms.
Is your dog at risk? Puppies that are kept in dirty environments and dogs who reside in warmer climates are a lot more likely to get whipworms than other dogs. And, to make matters worse, if an infected animal sheds whipworm eggs on grass, the eggs can remain infectious for over a year—even through the cold.

Those Doggone Cats!
There was nothing special about my two cats I had adopted off my grandmother's farm in Arkansas. They were just your ordinary, common garden variety type cats. Grandmother had more cats than she knew what to do with roaming around her house in the Ozark Mountains, all outside cats, of course.
By the time my wife and I got them they were what you might call a little wild, which made it a little difficult to make house pets out of. At the time, I was about to be discharged from service in the Marine Corps. Therefore, we were contemplating moving to California where I had a good job prospect as a newspaper reporter.
With that in mind we decided to build a double-decker cat cage to carry the two female felines in on the long journey. Of course my wife knew how to build one better than I could. That's why she asked for my assistance when starting the project.
I graciously offered my services and began putting one together. "Tommie", my wife, immediately began pointing out what I was doing wrong and making suggestions as to how it ought to be done. Since she obviously knew how to do it better and really didn't need my help, I dropped my hammer, stomped off and let her. The last thing I heard as I went into the house was "but, but, you got to…" No, I didn't "got to!" Why ask for my help when she was going to do it her way no matter what?
She finally got the make shift apparatus put together and then put the two cats in to test it out. Since they were outside cats it was a difficult chore to get them in it. They didn't seem too happy with the arrangement.
The time for our move arrived and once more we tried rounding up the troublesome pair who didn't want nothing to do with our planned trip. The grey tabby "Tiger", hid in the bathroom, while the grey and white calico, "Missy" climbed up into the kitchen cabinets. Tommie got the calico while I went after the tabby. Tommie successfully coaxed Missy down and got her caged. I, on the other hand got my hand bit for my trouble. However, I finally got her caged as well and into the car they went along with the rest of our belongings.
Who knew cats didn't particularly like riding in cars? As we started our trip, one of the cats managed to push the cage door of the well constructed cage my wife had made open. Both escaped into the car interior where the two went berserk scrambling around looking for a way out. The car interior suffered intensive damage as their sharp claws dug into the dash board and seat upholstery.
We had to pull over and stop for about 30 minutes before they calmed down sufficiently to get them back in their cage. Tommie "fixed" the faulty cage door lock. Things settled down until evening time when we decided to get a motel room for the night. It's odd how you can't find a motel that allows pets when you need one.
So, we covered the cat cage and slipped the cats into our rented room hoping no one noticed. Tommie and I then went to get something to eat and brought it back to the room. Sometime during our meal as we watched TV, I noticed the cat cage door had once more been opened. They were nowhere to be found. Somehow they had both flown the coop unnoticed when we opened the motel room door on our return.
It was over an hour before our frantic search found them sleeping behind a bush in front of the managers' office. Quietly, we picked the two up hoping the manager had not seen them. On the way back to our room we passed a kind looking elderly lady who saw our cats and commented on how pretty they were. "Don't tell the manager about our cats", I pleaded. She graciously agreed not to tell.
The next morning I went to the office to turn in the room key. The kind, elderly lady was behind the managers' desk. She just smiled and told me she was the manager and was a cat lover herself.

Confession: Can Work Save Me from Mommy Moments?
Self-Aware Moments of Motherhood
This past Tuesday was tough. This past Tuesday was a bad mommy day. The memory of last Tuesday hurts me. That day made me realize that the journey of motherhood is never-ending.
What happened? Did anyone die? Did anyone get hurt? No. But I realized that I have to escape mommyhood sometimes. I have to look at my wonderful, amazing, energetic, smart, fun, adorable and loving toddler and say "I need a break from you to be a better mom." And on Tuesday, I took that break by going to work.
The day started like every day – up at 5:30 am, workout, shower, prep breakfast for munchkin and me … but it all went down hill the moment she got out of bed. She was initially happy, but still getting over a cold, so a little snotty and I was watching her closely to see if school was an option. But she seemed OK … playing with toys, eating her O's, drinking her milk, hanging out with her Elmo doll. So I proceeded to go into the other room and blow-dry my hair, all while keeping a hawk-eye out, or so I thought. I thought … "this day is going to be great."
After turning off the blow-dryer I happily fluffed my hair and walked into her room to find the following: A child who had stripped herself down to her diaper and was holding a pink lipstick case in her hand and, you guessed it, had lipstick in her hair, on her face, all over her body and all over the carpet. I wish I had taken a picture, but — to be blunt, I was too flustered to do so. Thinking … "We have to leave in 30 minutes, I have to go to work … there are things to do, people to be seen!!!"
So, after my initial bellowing of "STOP!!" I proceeded to put her on the changing table, and found … you guessed it … diarrhea. So let's say there was a most interesting mix of elements to clean up; the most interesting combination that I have ever encountered in my short 20-months of motherhood.
Next we had about 30 minutes in the bathtub, three hair washes and some hard work getting the stain out of the carpet before it set. Not to mention what followed — the computer keyboard that she proceeded to destroy after her bath, or the dolls and toys she threw down the stairs and the weak moment when I finally sat the now obviously still-sick munchkin in front of the TV and said "here watch Elmo." Not because she wanted to watch Elmo, but because I needed a moment. I needed a long moment.
Luckily I have an amazing family, and a mother who helps me continue to work and support my family by babysitting munchkin after school ends several days a week. So after a frantic text and call to Oma, she agreed to entertain my snotty, frustrated and surprisingly sick-yet-energetic toddler for a few hours so I could get to work and push through some deadlines I had in the office.
So we headed off to Oma's house and all was well for a little bit while in the confines of the car.
Then, within a few minutes of arriving at Oma's, munchkin decided that it was time to throw the dirt from Oma's much-loved and cared-for potted plants all over the carpet, share her lunch with the gaggle of family cocker spaniels under her chair and climb-on, take-on and throw around every toy or non-toy breakable item that she could.
Then the time came, time for her nap and for my exit. My exit to the office. Which, mind you, is not stress-free. But it is toddler-free.
So I kissed and hugged munchkin good-bye, ran my fingers through her wonderfully curly hair, said a quick mental prayer for her final healing and headed out to the car.
And you know what, when I got in the car, I sighed. I sighed a sigh of relief. As if the stress was over for the day, as if I was happy to be leaving my only child for a while, and as if I needed to be rescued from the stress of motherhood by the bustle of work????
How could this be? How could I want to leave my loved, adored, heart-filling child and escape to work? This is not how it should be! I should escape work to get back to my child. But, wow, I had reached my limit that morning. It was too much. I was just too much.
So, am I a bad mom for escaping? Am I am mom with mixed-up priorities because I picked work over staying home with my sick child? Am I messed-up mom for needing a break from a sick child after several days of it? Do I need to return to the hospital where I gave birth and turn my "mom card" in or take the child-rearing class again?
I don't know … I feel so conflicted about this because I love my "munch" with all my heart and soul. The main reason I work is to provide for her; to give her the best. But are my priorities off? Do I need the adult interaction of work and the stimulation of work to keep going and thriving as a person? If I do, is that selfish?
I just don't know. I don't know. All I know is that this child is my heart, she is my soul. And I would do anything for her. I just need a break from the hard moments every once-in-a-while. If that makes me weak in some eyes, perhaps it makes me human in others.
4 Responses to "Confession: Can Work Save Me from Mommy Moments?"
First of all, I would like to comment on the makeup job…I remember (or was told) that there was a particular Sunday right before church that I was able to find myslf engulfed in my mother's "blue!" eyeshadow and red lipstick. There was much talk at communion…As for the feelings of motherhood and when to depart from such "hood", well, only we mothers can truly understand each other in the need to escape while at the same time, continuing our roles as mothers. Funny, being a mother is the hardest job and yet, it is so unrecogized as such…Just remember, sanity is a "state" of mind and one needs to do anything to remain in that zipcode!
No this does not nake you a bad mommy quite the opposite. The fact that you recognize that you need a time out from the munch makes you a great mommy. My daughter who is 5 has heard her mommy say she needs a "time out" so she now takes her own "time outs". I am Mom to twin 5 year olds and there are times when it is better to take the time out than to lose it in front of the kids.

'Pink Moon' will be visible tonight - but it won't be pink
The so-called "Pink Moon" has arrived this week, but if you spot it in the sky, you're eyes won't be deceiving you -- it won't look pink.
The first full moon in April is named after the pink wildflowers that often begin to bloom around this time of year, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
While you should not expect to see a bright, pink, sphere in the sky, you should expect to see a big and brilliant full moon, which will be at its peak at 11:08 p.m. on Tuesday evening on the West Coast.
At that time, the moon will be on the exact opposite side of the Earth as the sun and appear its fullest, according to Space.com.
Tuesday night into Wednesday morning is the last chance to get a glimpse at the Pink Moon, so if you missed it on Monday evening, you still have a chance.
Double whammy this AM. A stunning sunrise. An epic moonset. #pinkmoon #timelapse pic.twitter.com/JiU1ZQoLB7— Brandon Smith (@BSmithCBS21) April 10, 2017

With the PowerUp 3.0 RC Kit, you can control and fly a paper airplane by using your smartphone. This is made possible by the 3.0, with its durable carbon fiber frame, working together with a folded paper airplane, Bluetooth technology, and PowerUp's flight control app.
How Much Does The Power Up RC Plane Cost?
This smartphone controlled paper airplane conversion kit has a price of $49.99 and is expected to be available this August 2014.
Who Would Buy This?
Anyone who loves to play with mechanical toys is sure to find the Powerup 3.0 RC Kit a pleasure to play with. Of course, some would argue that it is not entirely mechanical, but the technology behind it, and the concept of having a paper airplane really take flight, is enough to catch anyone's fancy.
Things We Like
- At one point in our lives, we all have played with toy airplanes or, at the very least, tried folding paper into submission and turn it into a plane. The Powerup 3.0 RC Kit takes it a step further by actually making the paper airplane fly.Planes have the tendency to crash, and we appreciate the crash-proof design of the Powerup 3.0 RC Kit. The frame is made of carbon fiber, so durability is never going to be an issue.
- The simplicity of the whole process is what ultimately clinches it for us. Fold, attach, connect, and fly. That's it. There are no settings to configure, no wires or cables to deal with. Everything that you need to fly the paper airplane is already going to be included in the kit.
- One full charge of the battery will already give you over 10 minutes of flight. That is definitely a vast improvement from the Powerup 3.0 RC Kit's predecessor, which has a flight duration of 90 seconds, or a minute and a half. The battery level indicator definitely comes in handy, informing you when you need to recharge the battery.
- Piloting" the Powerup 3.0 RC Kit is also very easy, and that is mainly thanks to the user-friendly interface of the app. To steer the paper airplane from side to side, all you have to do is steer the smartphone. To let it soar, or swoop down low, use the throttle lever provided by the app.
Things We Don't Like
- There are certain limitations to the Powerup 3.0 RC Kit that should be addressed. First, it makes use of Bluetooth 4.0, so smartphones that do not have this capability won't be able to control the paper airplane. There is also the fact that the paper used has to be a specific size – a regular A4 or 8.5 x 11 copier paper. We'd like to see a future version that will accept any type of paper.
PowerUp Toys has not released any information regarding warranty for this product.
Is It Worth The Money?
There is no denying that the $49.99 spent on a Powerup 3.0 RC Kit is worth it.
Where Can I Buy The Power Up RC Plane?
The PowerUp Toys website is already accepting preorder for the Powerup 3.0 RC Kit. You can also expect to see it available for sale in the near future on Amazon and other merchant sites online.
Final Thoughts
Your self-made paper airplane can now take flight, with the Powerup 3.0 RC Kit!

Australia claims 3 out of the top 5 positions!!!!
"Median House Price to Median Household Income Multiple," ("Median Multiple")
Source: 5th Annual Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey
Australia: The Median Multiple in Australia is 6.0, double the 3.0 historic maximum norm and well above levels of just a decade ago (Figure 1). Among the larger metropolitan markets, Sydney remained the worst, at 8.3 (down from 8.6). Median house prices dropped in Sydney and Perth. Perth's Median Multiple dropped from 7.6 to 6.4, reflecting not only the price decline, but strong income growth. At the same time, Adelaide's already serious housing unaffordability worsened, with its Median Multiple rising from 6.5 to 7.1.
The Sunshine Coast (Queensland) replaced Mandurah as the nation's most unaffordable surveyed market, with a Median Multiple of 9.3. All markets in Australia were rated as "severely unaffordable" except Wagga Wagga (New South Wales), Bendigo and Ballarat (Victoria), which were rated "seriously unaffordable" (Median Multiple between 4.1 and 5.0).
Unlike the other national markets in the Survey¸ Australia has thus far been able to avoid material house price declines. It seems likely that, sooner or later, the inherent instability and unsustainability that characterizes bubbles will lead to house price declines in Australia. However, were it possible for Australia to retain its highly over-valued house prices, there would still be a significant cost. Future generations would pay far more for housing than in the past, and Australia's relative standard of living would decline.

Well, it turns out that Windows Live Writer won't run from a USB drive in a Mac environment (it was a long shot)... to the rescue come VM Fusion. Although I still have to boot up WinXP, this time I don't have to reboot to do so. Fusion allows me to run WinXP from within Mac OSX. A better choice would have been a Windows emulator which would eliminate the need to boot up Windows, but I guess that would be hard to do.
I wanna upgrade the memory of my laptop to 4GB but I'm not sure if it'll be worth the expense or even if I really need the upgrade. I think it will since I regularly multitask programs. Still, OSX seems to be doing a fine job of multitasking several programs with the 2GB of memory I have right now.

An innovative approach to the care of our elder sisters began recently in the Health Care Center of Holy Family Home, Melbourne. Providence Activities, based on a Montessori approach to learning stimulates mental, physical, emotional, artistic and social skills. Volunteers will use various activities emphasizing the whole person.
Research has shown that the Montessori approach to learning can be used on all levels of education. The Providence Activities Room has a prepared environment and sisters can be assisted individually or as a small group with activities set up in categories to include religious, daily living, sensorial, math, language and cultural.
At times, there will be food preparation or an outside activity in the adjoining Mary Garden.

Look closely and this crudely made craft. Between all the hearts and the happy couple are the words "I (love=heart) you Kendall." I found this love note in Kendall's backpack after school. When I asked her where she got it she said,
"Oh mom, Jacob gave that to me at school."
Me: "Who's Jacob?"
K: "Just a kid in my class. I guess he likes me."
Me: "What did you do when he gave it to you?"
K: "I said thank you (whew..good girl) and then snuck it into my backpack."
Me: "Did you show it to your friends?"
K: Lots of unnecessary and exaggerated eye-rolling "Oh my gosh, NO!! I would die. I didn't tell anyone."
Me: "He hasn't tried to kiss you, has he?"
How stinkin' cute is that?

Jasper's Day
by Marjorie Blain Parker
Illustrated by Janet Wilson
Published by Kids Can Press, 2002
32 pages
Ages 4 - 8
A young boy describes the final day of his dog's life, a day his family has proclaimed Jasper's Day. Their aging, beloved pet has cancer, and they have decided to end his suffering. But first, they spend a day doing many of the things Jasper has loved over the years. Then the boy and his mother wait at home while their father takes Jasper to the vet. When he returns, the family buries Jasper in their yard. "Today was the hardest day of my life," the boy says. "But I'm glad we celebrated Jaspers Day. Because it was a good day, too." Marjorie Blain Parker's sensitive, realistic story about the illness and death of a pet addresses the topic with emotional honesty. The story is illustrated in full-color art done in chalk pastels.

The Week in Public Finance: Hot Munis, Cooling Off Creditors and Warming Up to Facebook
A roundup of money (and other) news governments can use.
The municipal bond market could be off to its best start since 2010, when federal policies helped fuel new issuance. During the first six months of this year, a total of $221 billion in bonds have been brought to market by state and local governments, according to data from the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA). The total includes new bonds and refinanced ones.
Most of that activity has come from the second quarter of the year, specifically in May and June when the volume of new bonds in each month was the highest since 2008, according to an analysis by RBC Capital Markets' Chris Mauro. Even Puerto Rico's recent default on a $2 billion debt payment has not appeared to phase investors or hurt interest rates.
The market is currently on pace to finish the year with over $430 billion in issuance. But with more than five months to go before the end of the year, anything could happen -- particularly with a volatile presidential contest underway. Last year, the pace cooled in the second half of the year, with the value of total bonds issued finishing just shy of $400 billion. Still, Mauro said he is increasing his original prediction of new bond volume to somewhere between $400 billion and $425 billion.
The Week in Public Finance: States Dare Online Retailers to Sue, a Local Government Shutdown Threat and More
A roundup of money (and other) news governments can use.
Tired of waiting for Congress to approve a tax on Internet sales, more than a dozen states -- including Alabama, South Dakota and Utah -- are moving to pass bills or change regulations in ways that deliberately invite lawsuits from Internet retailers. The goal? Landing the issue before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Alabama, for its part, will start enforcing an old law it says allows it to tax out-of-state sellers. The state will audit companies that don't file returns.
"We're confident that some remote sellers will not comply and therefore it will lead to litigation," Alabama Deputy Revenue Commissioner Joe Garrett told The Wall Street Journal. "We have been very open about what we're doing."

I have a confession ...I've been real happy these days w/ no ones help :) I've been more independent recently and realized i don't need other people to be happy. I can make myself happy, i can make myself laugh, i can make myself enjoy life. In rough situations, looking onto a positive side really helps. I've been having hella hw lately but ay, i'm not stressing about it cause either way i gotta do it; whether its in a good or bad mood, its really up to me. I've come to realize that when i'm in a good mood, i can get things done a lot quicker. I don't need someone to vent to to be in that good mood, i can get there myself. On the other hand, i haven't been showing any love to anyone. But ay " you can't give love if you don't feel it yourself. " I'm not givin love cause i'm not getting any. It's okay though, cause i'm doing perfectly fine the way things are. No one can get in the way of my happiness :)

Angola pledges commitment to gender issues
The assurance came from minister of Social Action, Family and Promotion of Women, Victória da Conceição, on Tuesday in New York.
The official was speaking at the general debate of 62nd Session of the United Nations Commission on Status of Women (CSW), going from 12 - 23 this month.
The gender remains' Angolan Executive priority in its National Agenda, taking into account the equal opportunities between women and men, stressed the official.
Victória da Conceição, who is leading an Angolan delegation to the event, said that Parliament's advocacy was crucial to achieve this goal.
She added that the gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls in rural areas are a priority and strategic condition of Angola, with a view to reducing poverty.
According to her, Angola has made progress in promoting gender equality in the fight against discrimination and gender-based violence.
This progress, she added, reflects on adoption and implementation of comprehensive Policies and Action Plans to combat violation of women's rights ".
The minister said that women are accounting for 52%, stressing that rural women in Angola play a relevant role in contributing to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and most householders are led by women.
"To this purpose, the Angolan Government has invested in multi-sector programmes and projects to strengthen support for rural women," said the Minister.
The minister was accompanied by the permanent representative to the UN Ambassador Ismael Gaspar Martins, MPs Isabel João Miguel Sebastião Pelinganga and Albertina Navemba Ngola Felisberto, as well as Deputy Ombudsman, Antónia Florbela Araújo.
Victória said that a wide consultation and intervention programme, called "Dialogue with Rural Women", held in the country's 18 provinces, allowed the consultation of 42,246 women in rural areas.
The process culminated in the National Forum for the Study of Rural Women.
The official spoke of the Integrated Programme for Rural Development and Combat Poverty (PMIDRCP) which, according to her, allowed the transfer of arable land and means of agricultural production.
The programme also enabled the support for cultivating and distributing equipment, training of families in the field of production and transformation in agriculture, especially in the creation of the business itself.
The minister welcomed the Cooperatives Act, which allowed women to create their cooperatives and associations.
In the field of health, the Minister highlighted access to prenatal consultations, the implementation of the training programme for traditional midwives, and other initiatives with a significant impact on safer births and the approximation of the population to services, especially in areas rural areas.
She also recognised the government efforts focused on the expansion of health services to the municipalities although there is still much to do to ensure service in remote areas.
On the other hand, the official said that there was an increase in access of high education and literacy classes for women and girls.
As for gender-based violence, in the light of the implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Violence against Women (CEDAW), the government has adopted measures to prevent and combat violence against women, she said.
On the sidelines of the event, the minister held a meeting with the Secretary of State for Citizenship and Equality of Portugal Rosa Monteiro, on Tuesday.
On Wednesday attended a small work lunch offered to the heads of delegation of CPLP at the meeting.

So I'm thinking about getting back into football.
Recently I've found myself, intentionally or otherwise, in a number of situations where a game of football has been persistently and unavoidably within my gaze. I used to like watching football when I was younger, but gave up when I was around 11. Recently though, I've found myself incontrollably starting to enjoy it again. So should I start trying to regularly watch games? What benefits are there are of being a football fan? Do I have to have loads of boring conversations about metatarsal injuries? Am I over-analysing this?
Don't do it.......
. . . football is rubbish.
Take up shoplifting
Maybe I could combine the two
and start stealing Sky via a crooked set-top box and satellite?
Hmm, I've been thinking about maybe supporting a lower league team
As I don't really have any allegiance to any particular team, apart from the fact that my dad and brother both follow Arsenal. Is it actually rewarding and fun, or is it just worthy and boring?
The best clubs get fucked over.......
.......... Luton, Millwall, QPR, Oxford, Cambridge etc
Safe football clubs = boring.
Start going to matches as much as you can
it's ace, but expensive.
Benefits are being able to talk about football in a football based discussion, and being able to immediately alienate most women should you need to.
How much do football matches even cost?
I haven't the faintest idea. Are they more for better games (ie. is Man U vs Chelsea more expensive than Man U vs. Wigan)? Do tickets sell out quickly?
and yes. An average premiership game will set you back 30 quid, before travel, programmes, beer etc.
Find your local non league team and go and watch them.
Depends on the team
When Reading were Championship you could turn up at the gate and buy them for £18 or so, now you have to book and they can cost up to £35 or thereabouts.
Most team have different categories of games- it'll cost more to see them play Chelsea than it will against Derby for example.
Unless you are seriously minted
it's best to follow Premiership football on telly. It's now very difficult and expensive to get to a game unless you choose your match months in advance.
If you want live footy, work out which football league team is nearest to you and take it from there.

Regulators Issue Guidance on CIP for Prepaid Cards
Posted on 3/22/2016
The federal financial regulators, along with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, yesterday issued guidance to depository institutions on how to apply customer identification programs to the prepaid cards they issue. While the guidance does not change or add to existing expectations, it clarifies that banks should apply their CIPs to the cardholders of prepaid cards that constitute "accounts."
To verify the identity of the account holder as required by the CIP rule, banks would need to identify the cardholder of a prepaid card that meets the above requirements, even if a third party is the named account holder. Third parties are to be treated as agents of the bank rather than account holders for CIP purposes. However, if a third-party prepaid card -- such as a payroll, government benefit or health savings account card -- does not offer reloading or credit features, the third-party provider would be considered the customer for CIP purposes.

~ Happy Mother's Day Mom! Fresh from the garden after yet another storm.. There have been some bad ones this Spring.
~ I can see I need to add more flowers for companions. The roses are good to go, but I can use some companion plants..
~for some reason, I am really into white, yellow and orange. I find it very Springish!
~I am very happy with my Confederate Jasmine. This year it has really taken off. Very fragrant, evergreen and fresh. I am not sure of the orange flower, it was a Lowe's special… $0.99 cents. I think. It has come back for the second year. Love it! The roses are The Gift (Hybrid Musk), the bee's love this rose, it is a vigorous grower, Crown Princess Margareta and Teasing Georgia both of those are David Austin roses. The multi- orange flower is called Blood Flower and was from the Lichterman Plant sale.
This Spring has been really good for roses, I really can't get over that fact. Either that or they are finally hitting their 3 year stride. Either way, it brings me joy to share the beauty from my little plot.

Pardon the diversion in this bridal blog, but it's not often that I get to blog about fabulous food, and I promised Chef Andrew that I would sing his praises on my blog today, and for good reason -- Bill and I were treated to an incredible dinner last night on this paradise island of Grand Cayman. Chef Andrew's lasagna was non-pareil, but the coup de gras of the evening was his delectable creme brulee. Chef Andrew has participated in cooking contests through the years, and his creme brulee has won over many professional chefs. I quickly learned that there had been some backroom discussions about the fact (yes, it is a fact) that I am a creme brulee aficionado ... I've tested them from sea to shining sea, and now across the sea. I do believe that poor Chef Andrew had been told of my purist desires when it comes to creme brulee and was ever so cautious not to offend my delicate balance in search of the creamiest and smoothest creme brulee. Kudos, Chef Andrew ~ your creme brulee was a magnificent treat to my palate, and the perfect ending to a beautiful dinner. Cheers to you, Heather and Drew for a wonderful evening of fun and friends. You're the best!
xo, Victoria

What's one way to avoid awkward Thanksgiving conversations with family members? Spend the holiday with friends and co-workers instead.
See also: 6 things not to talk about during Thanksgiving dinner
That is what more Americans are opting to do, according to surveys by CareerBuilder and AllRecipes. About 22% of 3,600 surveyed workers plan on working this Thanksgiving, up from 16% in 2014, while about 20% plan to spend the holiday with co-workers either in or out of the office, according to CareerBuilder. About 54% of city dwellers will celebrate Thanksgiving with friends, according to an AllRecipes study of about 1,500 Americans.
Americans bonding with co-workers on Thanksgiving are likely doing so because of the industry they work in. With the Wednesday before the holiday typically considered the heaviest traffic day of the year, and Black Friday on its heels, employees in consumer-facing industries are more likely to be working over Thanksgiving, with health care, sales, manufacturing, retail and transportation topping the sectors with the most workers on the clock this week.
Texas employees are the most likely to dine with co-workers -- 41% of respondents in Houston, which is home to 23 Fortune 500 companies, and 31% of respondents in Dallas, whose primary industries include transportation and health services, said they were planning on doing so.
Rosemary Haefner, chief human resources officer for CareerBuilder, said in a statement that these consumer-facing industries are increasingly facing the decision of whether to stay open on Thanksgiving, and as a result, must "create an environment where workers feel appreciated for their time and can celebrate with their co-workers."

For the urbanites sharing turkey with friends on Thursday, Esmee Williams, vice president of consumer and brand strategy at AllRecipes, says it is most likely because they are unable to travel home for the holiday because of transportation costs or work schedules. More than half of millennials also plan to spend this week with friends instead of family, a trend that began to emerge last year, Williams says.
And when it is friends instead of family around the table, the food on the table tends to stray from the traditional dishes. "When you are headed to family on Thanksgiving, the food is prepared often as whatever is most pleasing to the grandparents or parents," Williams says. "Younger cooks are more likely to seek out different sources of foods."
She adds that vegan, paleo and multicultural dishes are more likely to make an appearance at millennial "friendsgivings" than traditional family meals.

Would you believe someone who told you that you could start a home business and quit your job? Many people attempt to convince you that success from working at home is possible. It is something that can happen, but there is no magic formula for it. The information and ideas in this article will illustrate the demands that starting a home business takes.
You need a post office box for business mail. Do not use your home address, as this does not look professional. It can keep your identity and your family's identity protected.
Come up with a quick way to describe your business. If you can summarize what your business does in just a few sentences, you are much more likely to impress potential clients in social settings. This will also help you come up with a slogan.
Keeping track of business expenses helps you stay organized, which will eventually lead to savings at tax time. These expenses include car mileage, gas and internet service. Many of these expenses are tax deductible, if you run a business. Keeping track of every nickel and dime is essential, because there is no reason to skip out deductions you are entitled to.
Endeavor to be your best while working from your home office. Avoid putting work before your needs at home or you could damage your self-esteem. Take time to exercise, don't snack too much and shower every morning. Doing these simple things can make you feel a lot better about yourself, and make you appear more professional to others as well.
When you're creating your website for a home business, you must be sure that the URL is easy to memorize. Your domain name has to be easy to spell so they can remember it. Simple and catchy is always best when creating domain names.
Take advantage of your tax deductions to optimize the profits for your home business. You can save a lot on your taxes by claiming your entitle deductions.
Network with some home business owners. You can help support each other and team up for local events. It is also nice to give you some social interaction, since running a home business can really lack that.
Designate a specific room in your home as your work space. Make sure that your designated space is large enough to accommodate everything you need for your business, without creating clutter. Proper organization is one important element of any successful home-based business.
When it comes tax time, you want to make sure that you are taking all of the deductions and credits available that you can legitimately qualify for. Home businesses can provide you with several deductions, including claiming a portion of your heating and cooling costs as business expenses.
{When you are trying to come up with a product for your home business, pick something that fills a need you have. Customers want to buy products that solve common problems they face every day. Your product will be a success when you create solutions to common problems people face.
|You want to promote your home business as often as possible. If you're speaking with someone and they say something related to your business, start talking about it. Additionally, you should print up business cards so that you can give them out when the opportunity arises.
|Having the support of your loved ones is one of the best resources to have when starting a new business. Owning your home business can be stressful, and it can take up much of your time. Unless you receive support from your family members, even just providing you with the time you need to do your work, it will not be possible for you to be successful in running a home business.
|Make sure that if you have a home day care business, you get help from another adult if you need it. If you are understaffed, caring for multiple children can become quite tiresome.
|You should always determine how much start up capital will be required to start your home business. While a home business may have less start-up costs than a traditional business model, there will still be some expenses. Determining your expenses in advance will aid you in keeping your business running in the black.
|There are lots of home business owners congregating online. Join a forum discussion relative to your niche or just about business and trends in general. There are some issues that are common to all home businesses, so information from business owners in an entirely different niche may still be very useful.
|Discuss your expenses with an accountant to learn about write offs for your taxes. Talk to an accountant during your initial start up to make it easier to know how to organize your expenses. For example, workspace in your home that is solely used for your business is a potential tax write-off.
|Select a name that has real meaning. Branding creates an important impression of exactly what it is you are offering, therefore, it is necessary to select a name that helps consumers establish a strong rapport with your enterprise. Try to create a brand name that contains a quirky or inspirational story attached to it. This type of name is great for engaging your customer with the brand itself.
|You must be realistic in regards to your expectations when starting a business at home. Do you have a great product that can continually gain interest? Do you have any experience running this type of business, and do you have what it takes to run it with the honesty and integrity that people expect from a business owner?
|You should get a receipt scanner so you can easily create archives of everything you spend. There are lots of great ones out there, so read reviews to pick the one that fits you best.
|Running a home based business requires some considerations, that other business must follow as well, in regards to safety. You may need to invest in a security system, and set rules for those who enter or live in your home. Setting up security and boundaries is essential to keep your business safe, your family safe and to protect your business. Your business can still be inspected, even if you work from home.
|In order to have a successful home based business it is key that you know how much you are spending in making a certain product. A good rule of thumb is to sell the product twice as much the cost is. Many products in the retail world are marked up as much as 70% above cost.
|No great business was ever built without taking chances. Taking risks and trying new ideas can attract a new customer base, and lead to higher profits., Sticking to tried and true strategies is fine, but don't be afraid to mix it up and see what works.
|A key tip for operating a home business is to set a schedule for each day and hold to it. Failing to do this could lead to you becoming overworked and spending less time with your family. Knowing when to step away or buckle down is important when running a home based business. It's not easy to adhere to a schedule, but it will be worth it when you do – just remember to let your family and friends know about it!
|Look into safety standards laws, and make sure that your home business passes. This is especially important if you have kids. You might need to have certain equipment, and set strict boundaries. This will help keep your family safe and help you avoid having an expensive accident involving your business. Even home businesses are subject to inspection.
|Your business objective should be able to describe your company in one or two sentences. Ideally, your statement sho

Happy Monday Everyone!!
Surprisingly, I woke up with a clear head and a refreshed mind today, unlike other Monday mornings.
The weather in Bangalore has been so good with occasional rain.( lucky that we don't have flood or power shortage in our place). This gave me a good excuse to cozy up in the bed for the weekend and not doing anything but eating all day and night which gave me all the energy to kick start a new week. 🙂
This weather got me into wearing sweaters/pullovers all day as it gets really chilly after the rains. So Its the best time to throw in your sweaters rather than getting uncomfortably cold.
Last month, I have already picked up a few thin sweaters from H&M stores(the one featured here) which can be used during the transition to the winter months.
I have been browsing through different website to add some more comfortable yet stylish pieces for my wardrobe and thought it would be great idea to share it in the blog.
Check out my top 5 picks from various website. Direct links included.
1. AJIO Hooded Sweatshirt with Drawstring
2.Levi's Navy Blue Striped Blouse
3. Dress berry Navy-Mustard Yellow Color Blocked Sweater
5. SheIn Dropped-Shoulder-Heather-Knit-Overlap-Hoodie
So, What's your favorite place to shop your sweaters?

Force of NatureAudiobook CD - 2007
After rescuing the son of Florida crime lord Gordon Burns from an assassin, private detective Ric Alvarado and his new assistant, Annie Dugan, get the chance to infiltrate Burns's inner sanctum to investigate rumors that he has been smuggling terrorists into the United States. By the author of Into the Storm. Simultaneous.
Brilliance Audio
Florida private investigator and ex-cop Ric Alvarado's life is spiraling out of control. His beautiful new girl Friday, Annie Dugan, is far more interested in fieldwork than filing, and despite Ric's best efforts to ignore the attraction, sparks are flying between them. Then one of Ric's clients turns femme fatale and tries to gun down an innocent man. Thanks to quick thinking and even quicker reflexes, Ric comes to the rescue, only to learn he's done a very good deed for some very bad people.
Suddenly Ric finds himself deep undercover with Annie, working for notorious crime boss Gordon Burns. One mistake from Ric's painfully inexperienced partner and they're both dead.
FBI agent Jules Cassidy's life isn't in much better shape. For years the FBI has been trying to prove Gordon Burns's ties to terrorist activity. Now, thanks to Ric and Annie, Jules has found a way into the lion's den. But in the course of his investigation he comes face-to-face with Robin Chadwick, the charismatic but self-destructive and closeted movie star for whom Jules feels a powerful attraction. Robin's in town promoting his latest film—and Gordon Burns is a star-struck movie buff.
With Robin and Jules's help, Ric and Annie are soon entrenched in Burns's organization, surrounded by killers who may already have executed an FBI infiltrator. Before long the couple realizes that many more lives besides their own will be at stake if they make a false move. As the heat between them reaches dangerous levels, so do the risks they're willing to take—in the line of duty, for the sake of loyalty, and in the name of something that runs even deeper.

After rescuing the son of crime lord Gordon Burns from an assassin, private detective Ric Alvarado and his assistant, Annie Dugan, get the chance to infiltrate Burns' inner sanctum to investigate rumors that he has been smuggling terrorists into the United States.
