Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
We believe that education is a basic human right and that every child throughout the world deserves the opportunity to attend school so they can brighten their prospects for the future. This needs to be done in a sustainable manner, and we believe that by providing schools and communities with business models, we can reduce or eliminate aid dependence.
We also believe that education is the best way to come together as human beings to promote peace and understanding.
By providing children across the world with schools, scholarships and other educational necessities, we can achieve our goals.
Blue Kitabu will work with communities to construct vital school infrastructure.
In regions that have infrastructure, but untrained teachers, Blue Kitabu intends to not only help find the best educators possible, but also to work with existing educators to improve their teaching effectiveness.
Blue Kitabu will create innovative materials for teachers to administer lessons.
Blue Kitabu will work to seek and assist children who are orphaned and who are the most vulnerable. With these children the organization will first ensure that their basic needs are met and second ensure that they are able to attend and succeed in school.
We hope to accomplish the above objectives in a sustainable manner and with community involvement.

Pill-pushing ads have been pilloried by foes who say consumers pay the price in high prescription costs. In last week's vice presidential debate, John Edwards vowed: "We're going to stand up to the drug companies and do something about these drug-company ads on television, which are out of control."
Advertising no doubt will come under more scrutiny following Vioxx, which Merck pulled from the world market after a clinical trial on colon cancer found increased risk of heart attack and strokes in cancer patients.
But Vioxx ads (from DDB Worldwide) aren't the problem-any more than Ford or Firestone ads were at fault when the automaker and supplier recalled tires in 2000 following fatal accidents involving defective Firestones on Ford Explorers.
Merck's ad money helped make Vioxx a blockbuster. Consumers and doctors saw ads; consumers asked doctors; doctors prescribed a pill that it turns out could put certain patients at risk.
It makes sense to ask questions about Merck and about whether the Food and Drug Administration lived up to its role in protecting consumers. It's illogical to blame Vioxx ads. Yet foes of drug ads will try, and that's a problem for all drug advertisers.
Johnson & Johnson demonstrated in the 1982 Tylenol tampering tragedy that the right communications response in a crisis can improve a drugmaker's reputation. Vioxx is not Tylenol, to be sure. But drug sellers have an opportunity. It's possible, for example, to better use product ads for the dual purpose of improving corporate image. That's a start. Post-Vioxx, the bottom line is this: Advertising is not the problem, but it could be part of the solution.

Change requires process and process is never a pleasant thing. Through the process leading to change we develop power. We come to learn the source of this power is from within. It takes on many forms in the virtues known as resilience, perseverance, determination, truth, wisdom, faith, prayer, confidence and so on.
Nonetheless it is all under and connected to power and understanding that as the Master Teacher taught, "the kingdom of God is within…"
The word power occurs in the Bible 276 times. It is a word synonymous to the name of GOD. Power is what gives us a prevailing strength over the stressors in our lives draining our positive energy.
The great question before us is am I being decisive in finding my power? Or am I just fledging through life awaiting something grand to happen like winning the lottery…?
Within you is the Spirit of the Great Creator of the known Universe. That in and of itself is recognizable as Power. It is said that your body is your first land to conquer. Your spirit is second and your mind is third.
When you discipline and tame the body you conquer the flesh. When you calm, poise and channel the spirit, you have now conquered the fear.
When you conquer the mind you now release the powers of creativity unbound and capable of creating worlds of reality beyond your previous imagination.
While the grace of GOD supplies all of our needs, the power of GOD provisions all of our thoughts and creative endeavors, for as you think in your heart, so you will become.
Find, Recognize and Source Your Power Forevermore.

"You are to be my holy people. So do not eat the meat of an animal torn by wild beasts; throw it to the dogs." - Exodus 22:31
The Torah portion for this week is Mishpatim, which means "laws," from Exodus 21:1-24:18, and the Haftorah is from Jeremiah 34:8-22.
Sandwiched between the Ten Commandments and the Israelites' acceptance of God's Word is a verse where God says, "You are to be my holy people . . ." Menachem Mendel of Kotzk, an 18th century rabbi, has a beautiful comment on this verse. He said, "You shall be holy, but as people . . . The Lord of the Universe has no lack of angels in heaven." When God gave us the Torah, he desired human holiness, not the holiness of angels.
What does this mean?
The Jewish sages teach that when Moses climbed Mount Sinai in order to bring God's Word to the people, the angels protested. The angels had no idea what was in the Bible, only that God had hidden it away for many generations. They knew that it was a great treasure and that obtaining it was a great mission.
And that's what angels do; they fulfill missions.
Angels have no ego. They have no ungodly desires. They do exactly what God created them to do - nothing more and nothing less. So when God gave a human being this great treasure, this special mission, the angels were in shock! How could God have chosen a flawed human being to carry out the greatest mission of all? They cried out the words of Psalm 8:4-5, "what is mankind that you are mindful of them . . . You have made them . . . lower than the angels." Yet in spite of the fact that humans were made lower than angels, the angels continued, You [God] "crowned them with glory and honor."
God told Moses that he must respond to the angels' complaints. So Moses said to God in front of all the angels, "What's in Your Torah?" God responded, "I am the Lord your God who took you out of Egypt." Moses then turned to the angels and said, "Were you in Egypt? Were you in that place of darkness? Of what relevance is the Torah to you?" Moses continued by reviewing God's commandments and how none of them apply to angels. Angels don't have to deal with temptation, jealousy, challenges, or conflicts. They live in a place of perpetual light.
People, on the other hand, deal with all kinds of darkness - both on the outside and also inside of ourselves. That is where our greatness lies. Angels may be beings of light, but only human beings can take darkness and turn it into light. Only people can overcome evil desires, extend kindness when tempted not to, and use the physical world for spiritual purposes.
Today, remember that you are greater than the angels. When tempted to do something wrong, choose to do what is right. When faced with darkness, choose light. Our greatness lies in our weaknesses . . . and our unwavering commitment to overcome them.
With prayers for shalom, peace,
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
Founder and President

Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) Release Candidate(RC) by the End of Jan 2011
Microsoft is reportedly gearing up to release the Release Candidate of Internet Explorer 9 by the end of January 2011.
The Redmond company has yet to confirm or deny third-party reports that claim to already have the IE9 RC availability deadline, or to comment in any way on the matter at hand.
Various sources are indicating that IE9 RC will actually drop on January 28th, 2011 (via LiveSide and sp3ciali5t), but the reports need to be taken with a grain of salt, until the software giant will offer official confirmation of the release date.
IE9 hit Beta in mid-September 2010, a launch which Microsoft marked through the Beauty of the Web event in San Francisco.
Following the release of the Beta development milestone, the company revealed that it wasnt planning another Beta, but that RC would follow instead.
However, two additional releases of IE9 were offered to early adopters, taking the number of developer Builds to seven.
IE9 Platform Preview 7 continues to be available for download even at this point in time, alongside the Beta Build.
In fact, testers can swap the core of the IE9 Beta and replace it with the IE9 PP7 in order to get all of the benefits associated with the latest preview release.
In the three months and a half since IE9 Beta went live, the Build was downloaded in excess of 20 million times, a number which is bound to grow consistently, especially considering that the Release Candidate is close.
As it is the case with additional Microsoft software, the RC signals the fact that IE9 is extremely close to finalization, a milestone referred to as RTW (release to web), equivalent to RTM (release to manufacturing).
Microsoft already confirmed that IE9 RC will come with a new feature dubbed Tracking Protection, and designed to put users in control of their privacy and the websites they wish to share data with while online.

Hi there
It would be nice to see an end once and for all to ACTIVE-X. This is a security nightmare as even a relatively "inexperienced hacker" can patch all sorts of nasties into an ACTIVE-X enabled application.
It would be nice also if MS could re-design RDP so active-x was not required as well (both for the WEB enabled RDP and the "standard" one).

A New Browser for the New Year - IE9 Hits 20 Million Downloads
As 2010 comes to an end, we wanted to take a look at the changes this last year in the IE world. At end of 2009, IE 6 and IE7 accounted for 38.51% of internet users, while IE8 had 24.15% of users worldwide. Fast forward twelve months later, IE6 and IE7 have shed over 40% of users and now only account for 22.98% of users worldwide - with IE6 hitting an all-time low of 13.81%. IE8 usage on the other hand has increased by almost 40% during the same time. Combined with the near half-percent of users of newly introduced IE9 Beta, the modern Internet Explorer browsers now account for 34.07% of users worldwide according to Net Applications.

Postcard & Tag, an entirely new unique online social travel directory, will be globally launched in Jakarta, Indonesia on Tuesday, 21st April 2015.
Using digital postcards – that are geo-mapped and categorized into a variety of travel experiences- Postcard & Tag users can share inspiring imagery of their discoveries with other travelers, and explore unique destinations that can be collated into a personal guide for future trips.
"We've selected Indonesia for the global launch because – other than Bali – It's a country largely unexplored by many international visitors" explained Ruth Naderer, CEO and CO Founder of Postcard & Tag, as quoted from the official press release. She further added: "Indonesians too are increasingly discovering the unique beauty and enormous diversity of cultural experiences that this country has to offer. We're certain that Indonesian travelers and the World at large will appreciate the unique features of Postcard & Tag to showcase any destinations through the camera and more often today, through a smartphone lens"
On the introduction of Postcard & Tag in Indonesia, Arief Yahya, Indonesia's Minister of Tourism commented: "Indonesia's thousands of islands and 34 provinces provide travelers with the opportunity to experience a huge variety of cultures, heritage and breathtaking natural beauty. I am delighted that Postcard & Tag has selected Indonesia to globally launch its social travel review website and am excited about the opportunity to further inspire and share Wonderful Indonesia with travelers around the world."
"We are appointing destination "locals" who will also share their knowledgeable insider tips for their town or city," explained Naderer."We have international celebrity chefs, television presenters, renowned professional travel photographers and even professional surfers, who are committed to represent their areas of expertise with the Postcard & Tag community" added Naderer.
"Guide books can become outdated and often miss the unique discoveries which you only hear about from other travelers" said Punyako Sakherat, Creative Director and co-founder of Postcard & Tag.
The site is free of charge to members and integrates with all the popular social media platforms. Five categories comprising – Sleep, Eat & Drink, See & Do, Shop and Play, allow users to search destinations based on their personal travel preferences. Users can create their own travel directory to either plan a future trip, or share a collection of travel memories with family and friends.
"A Picture tells a thousand words and travelers naturally prefer imagery which makes a far larger connection than wordy travel reviews. We've reinvigorated and personalized the traditional postcard and brought it into the 21st century" explained Sakharet. He further added that the aim of Postcard and Tag is to establish a vibrant and visual travel community completely dedicated to uncover the most up to date and unique finds; whether it is a trendy hotel, an up and coming restaurant, or largely unexplored cultural experiences.
In the coming year Postcard & Tag will roll out launch events throughout Southeast Asia, although the site is already available for members globally.
Postcard & Tag welcomes new members at: www.postcardandtag.com.

Everyone wants their business to rank #1 on Google search, but achieving and maintaining high visibility online is a lot harder and more complex than the simple acronym SEO makes it sound. Add multiple locations into the mix – and your difficulties are compounded. Identifying the SEO techniques for auto dealer marketing that most effectively pull in local traffic is a moving target. Last year Google alone made over 500 buy twitter followers fast changes to how they rank and index a business website on their search engine, and with their latest Hummingbird update that essentially rewrote their entire search engine, they are on a collision-course to best that number in 2013. Therefore it is highly probable that some website changes you may have made a couple years ago are now obsolete (if not downright banned), while new standards and best practices for local SEO may be absent from your website as well as your off-page assets like social media and business listings.
1. Keywords
The single element driving traffic to most websites is not the visual part of the website – it's the wording. Search engines do not see the visible parts of your website – they only see the words. That said, it makes sense to focus as much attention there as possible. Keyword research will help discover the words and phrases best suited to help the search engines know what you do (i.e. wholesale Mopar parts, wholesale Jeep parts, wholesale Dodge parts), and where you do it (location) as well as identify what words people are typing into their search bar to find businesses like yours. You can use a Free Tool like Google's Keyword Planner to build your keyword strategy. Download your list of keywords into Excel for further editing and filtering on a regular basis – quarterly review works great but definitely no less than twice a year. I'm a big supporter of quarterly audits for most business analysis, marketing and performance KPIs.
2. Keyword Mapping & META
Now that you have your keywords strategy down – let's put it to good use. Looking at your keyword list (Excel spreadsheet), you will probably notice that you could group together similar keywords to form categories (I call these silos). Does your website have a page for each silo category listed on your spreadsheet? It should. You don't need hundreds of pages for your website – but your pages should target the primary aspects of your business. Your list of keywords is the starting point. As buy twitter followers instantly a best practice, your website should have no less than 6 pages, and be no longer than it needs to be (if people don't read it – you don't need it). Looking again at your keyword list, make sure the primary keyword for a page is used as close to the front of the opening sentence of the website as possible and consider highlighting your keyword in bold. Same goes for the administrative elements of the website called the META – the part people cannot see, but search engines can (not all website platforms permit using bold here, don't freak out if yours doesn't).
A relatively new tool for local marketing (circa June 2011) has to do with using a simple html code called SCHEMA – also referred to as structured data or microformat – to better identify and classify some of the most important information on your website to search engines, such as your location and contact info. This code is universally accepted by Google, Bing, and Yahoo making it a must-have for every local business. Speaking of search engines, keep in mind that Google isn't the only option worth courting. As I write this, Yahoo has just taken the #1 Search Engine spot from Google and Bing has picked up a ton of search traffic since the Amazon Kindle Fire and many smart phones now come default with Bing as the native search engine. Facebook has also integrated a search feature called Search Graph this year, and with one-in-seven people on the planet having a Facebook account that makes them (technically) the largest search engine in the world. BONUS: Replace the SCHEMA code in RED (below) with YOUR INFORMATION and insert on your website page.
4. Footer
Completely underused, the area at the bottom of your website (footer) holds tremendous usability and SEO value. First off – if you have a lot of html code in the header of your website – validation codes are most common – you can move it here. Doing so will reduce the amount of html coding that search engines have to read as they load your page making your page load faster – and the speed that a website page opens is an SEO element that affects ranking. Fast is good.
5. Blogging & Social Media
I'm not going too deep into blogging and social media, there's already been so much published already on the topic, but suffice to say – you need to be actively creating content (story telling). Most small businesses start to sweat at the thought of writing blog & social media posts, but here's a simple strategy that will get your content marketing roaring like a 440 Six Pack.
- Gather 12 images (digital) that best illustrate your primary keywords and location
- Cool car part images and "name the part" quizzes also make great content
- Describe who, what, when, where, why, or how about the image
- Make sure your keyword is at the front of your title, description, and message
- Add a link back to the page of your website that this keyword belongs to (Step 1.)
- Use a scheduling program to automate these 12 posts to publish once a month
As to what blog platform to use – my blog is on WordPress, but SquareSpace is also worth looking into (that's what my website is on). My preference is to have a blog separate from a website to double a business's marketing channels. You can also have an on-site (website) blog to curate the posts from your off-site blog, no harm there – just be certain to give new blog posts a few days to populate on search engines before re-publishing them. SEO TIP: Sendible has a content marketing tool that automatically picks the best time to schedule your blog and social media posts based on when your readership is most likely to read them. It could take a few months for it to get a good read on your followers & friends, so hang in there – it works great. This tool also allows you to set up automatic re-posting, just be sure to write with an ever-greening tone so your copy doesn't date itself and put a realistic end-date into play.

Your Second Quarter Of Pregnancy
If you are planning for pregnancy, the second quarter of pregnancy is the most livable and less dangerous than the third month of pregnancy in the first quarter. The risk of abortion significantly reduces in this quarter. Even vomiting stops for some women but there are some very rare women who experience nausea and vomiting persistently throughout their pregnancy. In the fourth month of pregnancy, there is an increase in weight of the mother, which must be controlled. During this month, the increase in weight should not exceed 300 g per week. The weight of mother should be monitored at least once a week trying to always use the same weighing scale. This month, due to widening of the waistline, there arises a need to start buying and wearing pregnancy or maternity clothes that are loose and comfortable. Digestive disturbance can occur because of a hormone called progesterone. Digestion becomes more sluggish and often causes constipation. To combat this problem, it is advisable to consult the gynecologist who can prescribe the most appropriate laxative for constipation. For some women, a glass of warm water empty stomach and following proper diet is enough. If constipation during pregnancy is accompanied with hemorrhoids (dilated veins around the anus), you need to take special precautions use a special ointment for hemorrhoids during pregnancy. During this period of pregnancy, you can practice sports that do not involve too much effort. It is highly advisable to practice gymnastics to improve peripheral circulation. Swimming in temperate waters with lesser effort is also recommended.
Weight Management in Second Quarter of Pregnancy
From the fifth month of pregnancy, when fetal movements become evident, weight control becomes essential since its increase begins to be considerable. In the second quarter of pregnancy, your weight can tend to increase to about 4 pounds more than before. To keep the weight change within normal limits, it is really essential to follow proper diet and nutrition during pregnancy according to your gynecologist's advice. You should always remember that a pregnant woman should eat for two, but not too much. You need to maintain both the quantity and quality of food at the same time.
Diet and Nutrition in Second Quarter of Pregnancy
In your second quarter of pregnancy, protein requirements start to increase with inclusion of necessary food items such as meat (preferably beef or chicken), eggs, white fish, milk, and dairy products like yogurt, etc. Fats should be reduced in the diet of a pregnant woman, but not totally deleted. The contribution of minerals during pregnancy must be higher, especially iron. Your gynecologist will tell you about the benefits of taking an iron supplement daily with meals. Also, amount of calcium needs to be increased, so it becomes important to consume a diet rich in dairy products like milk, curd, yoghurt, etc. Carbohydrates should be taken in moderation during pregnancy and starch-rich foods like vegetables, sweets, and breads must be moderated.
Also remember that a diet rich in vegetables and fruits induces a wealth of vitamins that promote digestion and regulate bowel movements that often prevent constipation. In the sixth month, anemia in pregnant women is a common problem. Types of anemia, which can occur during pregnancy, are megaloblastic anemia and iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia is most frequent in pregnancy due to increased iron needs of the body causing iron deficiency. Therefore, it becomes really necessary to increase iron from the fifth or sixth month of pregnancy. Megaloblastic anemia is very rare during pregnancy but its consequences are very dangerous for both the mother and the fetus.
Megaloblastic anemia is caused by folic acid deficiency during pregnancy. This deficiency can be treated with a diet rich in animal proteins and vegetables, which are the main sources of folic acid. Again, you need to continue to monitor your weight taking into account that the increase should be approximately 400 grams per week and not more than that.
Importance of Learning Breathing Techniques in Pregnancy
Mammary glands of pregnant women continue to increase in size during this period preparing you for subsequent lactation and to help avoid certain types of nipple cracks. Sixth month is recommended to learn psychoprophylactic breathing techniques during pregnancy to prevent pain during labor and childbirth. The purpose of learning these techniques is to prepare the mother mentally and physically for the birth of baby. These techniques also help in natural childbirth preventing the need of a cesarean section at the time of delivery.

Have you ever been trapped? Like, truly trapped? And not the convenient kind of trapped, wherein you don't really have a choice in the matter. I am talking about being trapped and seeing escape routes around every corner, and yet you continue to allow yourself to be kept in a place against your will.
Tonight, it's raining. It's pouring. I won't burden you with imagery, because everyone knows what rain is. If not, I fear for the amount of fruits and vegetables available to you. I think it might finally be Spring. The season of new birth, the shedding of skin, the stretching and yawning after months of hibernation. Spring is a time to move. Time to escape from whatever it is that has trapped you the past few months.
I'm being cryptic, I know. So let me get to the point: I need to leave this place.
Kansas is a minimum security prison: sure, they give you enough food, treat you relatively fairly, and provide you with ample free time, but it's still captivity. There is still a free world out there beyond the walls. The problem with this prison is that the walls are transparent. There's no barbed wire keeping you in, or riflemen manning the towers,the doors stand wide opened. There is just you, standing, looking out, and despite some of the inmates accepting you into their inner circle, and the excitement that every Wednesday is fried chicken for lunch, you still know that it is not freedom. Heh, maybe it's the lack of conjugal visits that reminds me... Metaphorically speaking, of course.
I know all this, and yet, I cannot bring myself to step outside the gates. Cannot throw my shoulders back, stand tall, and walk straight out, without fearing what will happen. You always hear of those chronic inmates who keep going back to jail because it's the only world they understand. Well, it's dramatic, but I sympathize.
I feel like if there was someone or something standing outside the gates, beckoning me to leave, to take that step and not look back, then surely I would have no problem walking out of there with my head held high. But there is not. There is only me. Me and my damned stockholm syndrome.

In 1884 cattle baron Alexander Hamilton Swan decided to purchase rural land south of the city of Omaha to establish a stockyards operation. Two years later it was incorporated as South Omaha with a population of 8,000. This rapid growth was a result of the influx of thousands of European immigrants coming to work in this regional stockyard and the booming meat packing industry.
In 1915 the area was annexed by the city of Omaha and was home to over 40,000 people of many ethnic backgrounds—Czech, Italian, Polish, Lithuanian, Irish and Latino immigrants worked side by side. Small ethnic communities and retail centers developed, but soon inter cultural marriages and social contracts brought a more unified "South Omaha culture" which is found today.
South Omaha's location in the heart of a booming agricultural area allowed the Omaha Stock Yard to become the busiest livestock exchange in the world. However, by the middle of the 20th century the cattle industry began to change and by the end of the 20th century the stockyards were replaced with retail and entertainment sites. Eventually, the Livestock Exchange Building was converted into a health center, condominiums and popular venue for social gatherings.
Neighborhood retail centers have remained strong because of their charm, ethnic restaurants and grocery stores. The 24th Street corridor remains vibrant as well with an emphasis on Hispanic services, restaurants, and cultural centers. It remains the center for various ethnic and religious celebrations.
South Omaha retains its pride in its history and cultural diversity. It is home to one of the country's best tourist attractions—the Henry Doorly Zoo. The Sokol Auditorium, El Museo Latino and Lauritzen Botanical Gardens are also visited by many each year.
Well maintained homes in all price ranges can be found in the area and schools are celebrating their diversity, accomplishments, and pride.

A couple of years ago I decided to make one. I spend a lot of time waiting in doctor offices, ER's and hospitals. So I needed something to do with my hands when I don't feel like crocheting or knitting.
So, I love hexies. I got the idea from a vintage quilt we have that one of Steve's aunt's made. It's called the "Grandmother's Flower Garden". Her hexies are really tiny, about the size of a quarter. I decided to do a little research on the idea and found that there are hundreds of sites about stitching hexagons into quilts. I have found that I enjoy basting them to the paper piece and hand sewing them to each other. My hexies are 1in. on the side that makes them almost 2in. across. This size maybe I can finish it before I die and it wont sit in a closet left for my children to throw away. Although I am not sure yet how big I want to make it. A king size quilt of this nature seams much to big and stressful for all the hand stitching. Then there's the quilting of it once it's done.
Here is a picture of how I my hexi fabric cut sewn and organized for carrying with me on short and long trips.
The two pictures below are of what I have done and put together so far. It is laid out on the foot of my king size bed. I am considering making it big enough to sit on the top of my queen size bed that is in my sewing room. As you can see, it is very brightly colored.

The Israel Patent Office has launched a new online database and search engine of registered designs qualified for publication.
Until recently, the only option for searching through registered designs in Israel was through the use of a computer terminal located at the Israel Patent Office (ILPO) in Jerusalem. In response to a growing demand for such searches, the ILPO has launched a new online database and search engine of registered designs that are qualified for publication.
Due to a peculiarity in the Israeli design legislation, there is a two-year blackout period following registration during which designs are not open for public inspection. However, if petitioned to do so, the Registrar may allow a search of registered designs that are still in the blackout period1.
The database includes all updated information on registered designs whose blackout period has lapsed, and includes both active and expired designs. To date, searches for registered designs still in the blackout period require a specific petition and manual review of the files at the ILPO.
The information in the online database is available in both Hebrew and English, and searches can be carried out based on different parameters, such as proprietor name, number, title, class, filing date, priority details, etc. The search engine is available at the following web address: http://designsearch.justice.gov.il.
The new ILPO database and search engine of registered designs will allow interested parties to easily and efficiently gain access to information of over 25,000 registered and expired designs.

In the Hawks' investigation of Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, President Jacob Zuma is firmly on the minister's side.
At least, this is what he says. In a statement released on 25 August, the president expressed "his full support and confidence in the Minister of Finance" and emphasised "the fact that the minister has not been found guilty of any wrongdoing".
He is also aware that the Hawks' investigation is an extravagant own-goal. He "noted the concerns" of civil society and the "negative effect of these matters on our economy" and the "personal pressure on the individuals affected".
All of this is "disturbing". Indeed. Given all of this, one would expect the president to take action. Unfortunately, his hands are constitutionally tied. According to him, the president "does not have powers to stop any investigations into any individual(s)" and to do so would be to "intervene unconstitutionally". No wonder the president didn't feel the need to cancel his trip overseas.
But is this true? Does the president really not have any power to bring this crisis to heel? No, he does, and he should exercise it. The minister does, after all, enjoy his "full support".
The president's options
It is correct that the president cannot prevent individual investigations or reverse decisions to prosecute. The constitution requires that the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) exercise its functions "without fear, favour or prejudice".
The Hawks are simlarly operationally independent. Section 17B(b)(ii) of the South African Police Service Act enshrines the "necessary independence" of the Hawks. The Constitutional Court has held, in Glenister I and II (both cases in which the Helen Suzman Foundation participated), that the constitution itself requires this.
But this is not the whole picture. While the president cannot interfere with specific investigations or prosecutions, he has plenty of power to oversee the Hawks.
First, under section 17DA of the Police Service Act, a two-thirds majority of the National Assembly can remove the head of the Hawks, Lieutenant-General Berning Ntlemeza, on the grounds of misconduct, incapacity or incompetence. Once the National Assembly begins these proceedings, the Minister of Police, Mr Nathi Nhleko, may provisionally suspend the head of the Hawks immediately.
At best, the allegations against Minister Gordhan rest on insufficient facts and a misunderstanding of the law.
This is incompetence. At worst, they are an attempt by the Hawks to capture the Treasury for corrupt elites. This is misconduct. The breath-taking weakness of the Hawks' case against the minister has been overwhelmingly established by the press, civil society and legal experts. The legal grounds to remove Mr Ntlemeza are there.
It is true that it is the National Assembly, not the president, that has the power to remove the head of the Hawks, and it is the Minister of Police who has the power of suspension, not the president.
But President Zuma has considerable influence over the ANC caucus in parliament (and indications are that the Democratic Alliance and the Economic Freedom Fighters would only be too happy to help the ANC get the two-thirds majority it needs to remove Mr Ntlemeza). Once the National Assembly has started proceedings, President Zuma can instruct Minister Nhleko to suspend Mr Ntlemeza. If he refuses, the president can fire him.
Even if President Zuma cannot do this (if he cannot corral the necessary super-majority in the National Assembly, for example), he has another route available to him. As the Menzi Simelane case showed, the courts can set aside a decision to appoint a public servant if that decision was irrational, and the decision to appoint might be irrational if the individual appointed is clearly dishonest.
No less than two judges have noted Mr Ntlemeza's dishonesty. Thus, the president can approach a court to have the decision to appoint Mr Ntlemeza set aside. He doesn't even have to do this on his own, as such a case is already before both the High Court and the Constitutional Court. It has been instituted by the Helen Suzman Foundation.
When the president says that he has no power to intervene, he is mistaken. The decision to appoint Mr Ntlemeza appears to be irrational. In addition, the campaign against Minister Gordhan reveals that the head of the Hawks is either incompetent or abusing his powers.
The persecution of Minister Gordhan poses a grave danger to our economy and our institutions. President Zuma knows this, and he should do something. Fortunately, he can.

Flickr Find: Smoked Lemons & Lemonade
While searching through Flickr for some backyard beverage inspiration, we came across these beautiful glasses of lemonade. After searching further, we discovered that the delicious beverage inside wasn't just any lemonade, it had been smoked! The pictures of the plump, smoked lemons are almost too racy to share…
When lemons are smoked over a fire that doesn't go above 225 degrees Fahrenheit, their moisture is retained and smoke makes its way into the juicy liquid left inside.
Use them with your favorite lemonade recipe or check out this one over at Slashfood that involves making a simple syrup and the addition of a little dark liquor. Sounds like a perfect summer taste!
If you'd like to smoke your own lemons at home, simply add them to your smoker while you have other meats cooking. Halve your lemons and they can sit right on the grate or in a pan for easier removal. You may also do this with any of your favorite citrus fruits or even cherries with amazing success!

2 Aspects Individuals Do Not Really Understand With Respect To LASIK Eye Medical SurgeryThe eye can be analyzed with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional assessment consists of the ability to move in the orbit and the response of the pupil to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye might be checked in numerous ways. The client might be asked to identify illuminated letter or things of differing sizes on what is called the Snellen chart.
On the other hand, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of methods. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In specific diseases, especially in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased markedly.
It ought to be well remembered that a patient with an eye issue may have other issues. Typically other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a effect. The appearance of the eye can notify the client and the physician to difficulties in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
As a result, one's dependence on sight is emphasized when one faces a short-lived or possible irreversible loss of this essential sense. When restorative steps are sought, certain types of vision correction such as contact lenses or glasses are recommended.
On the other hand, some individuals are bothered with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgeries were established to encourage decreased utilization of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Generally, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction. The only difference is that with this kind of surgical treatment, one's vision is corrected completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently transformed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The main function of this surgery is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the visit cornea utilizing a blade known as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, enabling better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that people should know. Most likely, the primary reason why this type of eye surgical treatment has ended up being well accepted is due to the fact that many of its cases had been successful.
In spite of its success, there are still some drawbacks. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most sensitive part of the eye
Due to the fact that LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is among the most sensitive portions of the eye, the majority of people state that the operation can be very dangerous.
Simply puts, a basic error could practically cause an individual's life time blindness. For this discover here reason, it is necessary to think about lots of factors prior to choosing whether LASIK eye surgery is the best restorative step one needs to undergo.
2. It is not a best procedure
LASIK eye surgery might correct your vision but it does not always suggest that it can give you a twenty-twenty. Even if statistical reports show that 70% of the clients may have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily suggest they have ideal vision.
Given all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not always be the ideal eye surgery the method most people see it
Alternatively, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye might be made in numerous ways. It needs to be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye issue might have other problems. Often other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can signal the doctor and the patient to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other signs present themselves.
Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another type of vision correction.

You probably have heard of Carla Bruni. She is the girlfriend and now wife of the present French President - Nicolas Sarkozy. The two married on February 2, 2008.
The cozy pair made much news in the media wherever they went together, also when not together. Likewise as in other parts of the world, following the trend, loud noises were made in the Indian media when Sarkozy was planning to visit India and be the Guest at this year's Republic Day, uselessly. As if there are no other important headlines to be covered.
Carla Bruni is also a songwriter, singer, guitarist and supermodel. Iaauu! And know what? She got the looks and a curvy figure too. She is beautiful though she is now 40. What a combination she has molded herself with. I don't think there are many with such blending. And I tell you, her music and vocal are more beautiful.
I first chanced to listen to her songs at a friend's place while editing Delhi Thurawn, a tiring weekly work every weekend.
Carla Bruni vocal and music are very soothing even if the songs are in French. Her second album is in English though. I bet the lyric are also good as well, like her music. I like her vocal; it's so original, unique, whispery, dryly sweet and so very sexy. I have completely fallen in love with her husky voice. I am just damn jealous of Sarkozy. What a lucky guy!
I now have two of her albums:
Quelqu'un M'a Dit
No Promises
through PirateBay [big apology to her].
If you haven't listen to her yet, go get it. I am telling you, you will get bowled over before you realize.

She might or might not be, as you say, it is difficult to know what to believe or what not in this day of the paparazzi. However her voice is stopping me from taking interests on those portrayals.
Don't know if it would be your kind of music but when I come over there in 9A (one of these days), I will try to remember to bring the downloaded mp3s along (I am getting forgetful at this age!!)
I will bring along your copy of Pu Lal Dena's book too (Hope I remember). *grins*

South African Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu on how his understanding of God and humanity has unfolded through the history he's lived and shaped.
Listen to Krista Tippett talk with Desmond Tutu about life, humanity and how history changed his life.
Krista is an inspiration to the work I do, in sharing the uplifting and courageous stories of the people that influence me.
Krista Tippett
Host/Executive Producer
Krista grew up in Oklahoma, the granddaughter of a Southern Baptist preacher. She studied history at Brown University and went to Bonn, West Germany in 1983 on a Fulbright Scholarship to study politics in Cold War Europe. In her 20s, she ended up in divided Berlin for most of the 1980s, first as The New York Times stringer and a freelance correspondent for Newsweek, The International Herald Tribune, the BBC, and Die Zeit. She later became a special assistant to the U.S. Ambassador to West Germany.
Krista left Berlin in 1988, the year before the Wall fell. She lived in Spain, England, and Scotland for a time, then pursued a M.Div. from Yale. When she graduated in 1994, she saw a black hole where intelligent coverage of religion should be. As she conducted a far-flung oral history project for theBenedictines of St. John's Abbey (pdf)in Collegeville, Minnesota, she began to imagine radio conversations about the spiritual and intellectual content of faith that could open imaginations and enrich public life.
In 2007, Krista published her first book, Speaking of Faith. It is a memoir of religion in our time, including her move from geopolitical engagement to theology and the cumulative wisdom of her interviews these past years. Her book, Einstein's God, illustrates some of the important ways the program and her vision have continued to evolve.
Krista's two children are at the center of her life. She also loves cooking for her children and their friends, radio plays, beautiful writing, great science fiction, cross country skiing, and hot yoga.
