A Perfect Match - by Sloane Secord
Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 08/03/2017 - 12:51pm
The most important part of MT Space is the people. They are what make everything happen; they are what make you want to come to work every day; they are the heart and soul of the foundation.
My name is Sloane Secord. I am taking a summer co-op program with a placement at MT Space. Basically, I am an intern. I have no experience, no diplomas, just pure ambition. I have been called crazy for taking a summer co-op. Some people just don't understand the want to work at an office on my summer break for 8 hours a day 5 days a week plus school work on the weekends that goes along with the program - some people don't understand.
Starting the process wasn't easy. I attended the Saturday school integration day surrounded by peers pursuing careers in law, medicine, teaching, business… Peers who had it all figured out. I stuck out like a sore thumb. Not only being the only student choosing a theatre placement but to top it off, I have a flamboyant fashion sense.
Finding a placement was almost impossible. I knew there was no way I was going to find a placement using the method of the co-op program. So I asked my drama teachers to ask around for work opportunities. I have the best teachers. They support me in theatre, they push me to be better. They feed my dream of working and creating pieces of art that will inspire thousands. They got me a placement at MT Space!
When researching MT Space their values as an organization are clear. The Multicultural Theatre Space is true to its name. The organization, employees and volunteers strive to be honest and welcoming when promoting culturally diverse theatres, media and arts. It was a perfect match. I work at my secondary school as a co-managing member of our Multicultural Club. A club I hold dear to my heart - a club of acceptance. On top of that I am a drama lover, aka theatre junkie. A mesh of my two loves into one? MT Space has felt like home since the first day.
Together we believe it's important to see a representation of all peoples and cultures in the industry. The IMPACT Festival is all about bringing shows that focus on culturally diverse content, casting and crew. These spaces are open to talking about prevalent issues in our society.
One of the best times I had at MT Space was during the Kultrun Festival. First, I went to 'The Conversation - Looking Back While Moving Forward' where MT Space's Artistic Director, Pam Patel, along with other people from all different cultural backgrounds spoke about their experience. As they put it: settlers, newcomers and Natives all in the same room finally talking.
The environment was safe. The things panellists were saying were thought-provoking. I found myself wondering how the history books at my secondary school could be so wrong and why discussions about current issues are hushed in the classroom. Did the people at my school feel as unwelcome as the panellists described their adolescence? How could I make it better at my school?
Later in the festival, I set up the booth and promoted IMPACT and MT Space by talking to many people. I met new people, new volunteers, saw old friends.
I love the open door policy at MT Space. People are always coming and going. I met new people every day. I learnt so much from my coworkers that welcomed me and saw me as a co-worker. Everyone was willing to stop and teach or explain new things to me.
One of the biggest fears I had about going into the co-op program was that I was not going to make a difference to the organization, that my presence would be a nuisance. Not a day, not an hour, not a second have I felt that way at MT Space. The projects I worked on are implemented. They are making a difference. I am learning! This is all due to everyone at the office who make the office so positive and inclusive.
Before I leave MT Space I want to thank Amanda, Pam, Kate, Amy, Arlene, Suzanne, Heather, Adriana, Nick, Fanny, Gary, Majdi and so many more for making my time at MT Space so memorable and happy. Thank you so much for giving me this experience!
MT Space has been a perfect place for me. I got the opportunity to work with people who are great at their jobs, helpful and encouraging. I have learnt so much about the work that goes into putting together theatre shows and festivals such as marketing, administration, media, hospitality, finance and travel. The most important thing I learned from working at MT Space is to listen. Listen to others' stories, pasts, feelings and ideas. Simply listen.

This spring we rearranged the library a little to allow for greater movement and flexibility, and of course for better visibility. What do you think of the new layout? These two pictures show a continuous pan of the library. The top is looking towards the north. The bottom is looking towards the south. Click on either picture to see the whole pan of the library on a larger scale. Then click on the magnifying glass to make it bigger.
Below are some students enjoying the new location of the catalog computers. Hopefully the gray computer tables will be replaced with a permanent desk next fall.

About Mimeta:
Mimeta has been working within culture and development since 2006. The organization is organized as a Norwegian limited company with charitable statutes. Mimeta is working from Arendal (NO), and the management is headed by Mr. Cato Litangen.
Cato Litangen, managing director of Mimeta.
Mimeta is involved in culture sector development, by the means of financial support, knowledge building and professional advises. The activities are financially supported by the Norwegian Ministriy of Foreign Affars and the Dutch Stichting DOEN. Funders are always welcome to take part in our extensive work.
In the Arabic speaking countries we have partnerships with Tunisian, Lebanese, Maroccan and Syrian service providers to the arts, like Al Mawred, L ´Art Rue, Racines and Ettijahat. The activities comprise the whole region. Still they are consentrated, on organisational development, policy observancy and advocacy, cultural research and planning, and the fostering of socially engaged arts practises.
In Africa south of Sahara Mimeta is engaged in Sothern, East- and West-Africa, in addition to the longlasting partnership with the Pan-African Arterial Network - who is running ArtWatch Africa to protect the universial artistic rights on the continent. Prominent millieus like Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA) in Zimbabwe and Bayimba Cultural Foundation in Uganda are among our partners, as well as Ishyio Arts Centre in Rwanda, Reseau Culturel (Kya) in Mali.
For both the Arabic and African regions we are working in close cooperation with European and American foundations and organisations. Most often we meet withStichting DOEN, Africalia, Goethe Institute, British Council, Ford Foundation, Prince Claus Fund, Open Society and European Cultural Foundation.
Scandinavian policies:
In the Scandinavian region Mimeta represents the spesialized expertice on the cultural rights and cultural sector development within the international development cooperation. The work of Mimeta is conducted in line with Norwegian policy on cultural relations in foreign affairs, and has close cooperation with the culture desk in the ministry. The policy area was drafted in an inclusive process during 2012 and 2013, and was presented as white paper to Parliament in the same session. The part of the policy concerning international development cooperation was named "Strenghtening the cultural sector in developing countries". Since the public elections for parliament the same year, and the conservative/ liberal posistion entered government, the allocations has been reduced from 110 in 2013 till 85 million NOK in 2017. There is now a proposition to reduce the number to 45 million NOK for 2018.
In 2016 the Danish Centre for Culture and Development (DCCD) was closed down by the Danish Government. Sweden used to have a very strong position within cultural sector development, but terminated most of the activities conducted by The Swedish Development Cooperation (SIDA) in the years after 2006. There are still some initiatives performed. Swedish Institute (Si) work on cultural issues, like exchange, but strongly linked Swedish counterparts.
This negative trend in Scandinavia is a reflection of a more focused priority on the international level, manifested e.g. in the development goals. In the Scandinavian countries cultural rights and culture sector development is obviously not high on the agenda within the right winged development policies. It is however an interest in keeping cultural and artistic rights within a right based policy appoch. The Norwegian experience during the last five years suggests such an assuption.

On a spur of the moment trip Annie and I find ourselves in South Africa for a month. Being our first time in Africa, it feels kind of surreal. Two weeks ago going to Africa was not even on our radar. However after hearing that the flight from Buenos Aires to Johannesburg was only 9 hours and relatively inexpensive compared to other international travel, and the fact that we'd be able to stay with friends part of the trip and Couch Surf the rest, we determined South Africa was something we could make happen on our travel budget. So we went for it, and two days later we found ourselves here.
After flying into Johannesburg we scored a free ride to Cape Town via our friends Jonathan and Wendy. The catch - all we had to do was keep Jonathan's 19 year old daughter Michelle company on her first big cross-country roadtrip back to college. Deal.
Packed to the brim in her tiny Rav4, we zipped southwest across the interior of South Africa. Other than it holding wildlife like baboons, monkeys and other crazy four-legged things I don't even know the name of, the landscape we passed was not much different than that of the south western United States - expansive and desolate.
After covering roughly 750 miles (1200 km) and thoroughly sampling the fast food of South African freeway stops, we found ourselves pulling into the stunning mountains of Cape Town just before dusk on the second day. And so begins our week (maybe more) at the Cape.

- 8 ounces uncooked rigatoni
- 2 tsp butter
- Yes you read that correctly, that's teaspoons. I just eyeballed this from my stick butter so I highly doubt there would be an issue if you did the same.
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 12 ounces mushrooms
- The original recipe calls for two different types of expensive mushrooms, but Jess and I made it with just boring white mushrooms that are easy to find a the grocery store. They were delicious so you don't have to waste money one fancy mushrooms.
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbsp red wine
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- Recipe calls for 2% but we used prepared dry milk.
- 1 cup (4 ounces) grated Asiago cheese, divided in half
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Cook the noodles according to their package, drain them and set them aside.
- While the noodles cook, melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
- Add the onions and cook for 3 minutes.
- Make sure to enjoy the fantastic aroma of onions fried in butter as it is one of the most delicious smells ever to come from a kitchen.
- Add mushrooms, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic and cook for 8 more minutes.
- Add the wine and cook for 1 final minute, stirring regularly.
- Remove from heat, but do not turn off burner.
- Over the already-on burner, put the flour in a large sauce pan.
- Gradually add the milk while whisking the whole time.
- Bring to a boil and let it go for one minute, making sure to whisk it the whole time.
- Remove from heat and add half of the cheese, whisking until it is completely melted.
- In a large bowl, combine and mix the pasta, veggies, and sauce.
- Dump the noodley goodness into a 8 or 9 inch square baking dish,

- Cocoa powder (1 tablespoon)
- sugar (4 tablespoons)
- Water (4 tablespoons)
What you do
1. Put vanilla sugar, white cheese, butter and cane sugar in a large mixing bowl and use a mixer to mix all the ingredients very well until a thick liquid is attained.
2. Leave for 1 hour for sugar to dissolve.
3. After an hour add vanilla budyn (custard powder) to the mixture and mix well again until the mixture is smooth.
4. Pour mixture into a greased cake dish so it is about 2 inches (3-4cm) thick.
5. Place in preheated oven (about 200 C) for about 40-50 minutes. The top should be lightly browned when it is ready.
6. Take out and leave to cool.
7. Make the chocolate topping by putting the ingredients in a pot over low heat and mix until it is smooth liquid and then pour over the cheesecake.
8. After it has cooled - eat.

Welcome to The Magenta Machine
Consider this my first attempt at blogging. The women in my family are loving the blog. My aunt has one, my cousin has just started one, my mum follows them both - so I thought I'd add to her reading list with my offerings.
My name is Amy, I love to create things. That encompasses a wide range. I enjoy painting, drawing, directing theatre/film, knitting and of course sewing.
The amazing present of a bright pink mini sewing machine for Christmas (thank you Mother) has massively increased my ability to cobble together pretty things. My main fall back is bows for my hair (or anything featuring a bow) but since the aforementioned Christmas present I've been branching out into things I can wear elsewhere.
Customising/making my own clothes has always been something I've been into. I love having something one of a kind, something that when a friend compliments it, I can say "Thanks, I made it myself". It breathes life into old clothes, transforms charity shop bargains and puts your individual stamp on your wardrobe. And if you're savvy, you can save yourself a bob or two.
Its a great counteraction to the frustration I feel at shopping for something I can't find. For example, I wanted a large shoulder bag to begin uni with in 2007. They weren't quite right/too expensive so me and my mum chopped up a pair of jeans and made the perfect, individual bag for my new term.
This blog is part me showing off, part sharing the knowledge of creating your own look. Enjoy.

SASA in Singapore
Do you ever think that SASA total sells how many brands in its outlets? AFter searching information about it, i found that The store retails over 250 brands, of which 24 are exclusive to Sa Sa including Swiss skincare brands Suisse Programme and Transvital and French brands Christian Breton and Jose Eisenberg. A dedicated men's section offers male skincare products and fragrances from brands including Clarins, Zirh and Biotherm. Wow, 250 brands. In 1 store it can contents of 250 brands! it was a large amount. It was totally like Watson. the only different is SASA focus on personal care products.
Do you know that, SASA in Singapore even had a 'workshop' room offers regular lifestyle focused courses and a treatment room allows customers to try selected skincare brands and enjoy facial treatments with beauty therapists. I wonder why this kind of service does not available in SASA Malaysia.. That is the only thing i feel disappointed about SASA.
Hopefully SASA in Malaysia can provide this service as soon as possible!

SASA's brand management
It was such a long time that i did not manage this blog..
today i am going to talk about promotions and advertising of SASA.
I think that SASA had done a great job to create its brand name around Malaysia
Although, there were people that not so familiar what SASA selling,
but at least they have heard SASA this brand name before.
If you were a big fans of 8TV, you will able to notice that SASA's advertisement actually appears quite frequently. its commercial advertising were quite interesting. unfortunately i could not found it in youtube.
Overall, i feel satisfy about its positioning and strategy.
In the next post, i will introduce the promotions that available and some little useful suggestion from me! c ya next post!

your friendly neighbourhood-------SASA
When you heard of SASA, what was the first thing comes into your mind? My first thinking is :" huh? SASA? your friend ah? preety or not?" my friend laugh at me and said, Bodoh la, SASA is the shop that almost every shopping complex have =.=. After getting to knew well about SASA, i really feel that SASA is my "friend". I feel very comfortable and happy when i visit SASA. SASA gave me a good impression when i first saw it. The shop lighting inside SASA is bright enough. For me, a shop brighting was very important.It shows that the shop is confident about its products and hope customer can see clearly inside the shop. The second good impression that SASA give me is its good customer service. When i enter SASA to find the lip spa, i do not know where the products put, the promoter come and approach me. After i tell her what am i finding, she lead me to that spot without hesitate. Furthermore,I believe that customer do not like the promoter to follow them when they shop. I feel the same way. One day, when i enter SASA, the promoter were following me, i ask her not to follow me. She respect my wishes and leave me alone with a smiling face.Her friendliness makes my mood good and i feel that i been respected. Now you know why i love SASA so much!! that's all, see ya next week!

the first thing i bought from SASA
Well, greetings everyone! This week is a very busy week and i almost forgotten we have this assignment. Hmm..everybody have his/her first time in their favorite destination and my first time in SASA is about one year ago. Honestly, i knew SASA from my friends introduction. Hey, guys guess what my friend introduce me to buy in SASA. I bought a products called "World first 24hours lip spa" haha.. (what a lame name)
why i bought this products? let me tell you a story.
Once a time ago, their is a girl name Winnie. She were not really satisfy with her appearances especially her skin and lip color. She always find beauty formula that can change his skin colour and lip color. She wished that she could become fair like snow white and have a cheery color lips like model in advertisement. After seeking formula for a long period, a friend of her told her that SASA sells a magic products that can turn her lips color into cheery red. She was very happy when she heard about it. After she seek enough information, she straightly rush to SASA and buy that products.
After she used that products, she find that her lips really turn into cheery color ......................... for one day..... haha... ya... its will lasting just for one day. So if she wants to have cheery lips everyday, she had to applied that products for everyday. So, Winnie can become "snow white"at any day she wants! woohoo.... lame story right? But it was a true story!

April 19, 2012 13:45 ET
HAUPPAUGE, NY--(Marketwire - Apr 19, 2012) - Seven years after launching New York City's first mobile contact / stray voltage testing program, Premier Utility Services, LLC ("Premier") is pleased to announce that it has expanded its operations to include both routine and preventative maintenance testing to six other cities in the Mid-Atlantic States.
Contact voltage is the presence of electrical potential on objects that should not normally be energized, such as the mast of a light pole, the lid of a junction box, a manhole cover or a traffic signal controller cabinet. These energized objects could, under the right circumstances, pose a safety risk to the public and small animals such as dogs.
"We believe Premier is uniquely positioned in the contact voltage industry as we are one of the few, if not only, service firm capable of providing both mobile and manual testing services," said Mark Voigtsberger, Premier's Manager of Electrical Services. "Not every area can be tested using mobile technology, and not every area is suited for manual testing. Most testing programs require both types of inspections to ensure 100% coverage of the client's infrastructure."
Marc Makely, President of Premier added, "Mobile contact voltage sensing technology has continued to evolve and improve. We are now utilizing a fourth generation device. Each system has increased the ability to detect safety issues on electric utility infrastructure and a newly invented sensor technology will make the fifth generation a significant advancement relative to the devices used today."
Demand for mobile contact voltage testing continues to grow as additional states adopt more stringent regulations. However, advanced technology enables utilities to significantly reduce their testing costs.
Premier Utility Services LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Willbros Group, Inc. (NYSE: WG) an independent contractor serving the oil, gas, power, refining and petrochemical industries providing engineering, construction, turnaround, maintenance, lifecycle extension and facilities development and operations services to industry and government entities worldwide.

The SDCHPS has been offered a $10,000 Challenge Grant for Tremont School. We need your donations to help us earn the full $10,000. We are going to have to put a new roof on the building as repair costs are above the price of a new roof. This $20,000 would be a great start toward the rehab work.
- For each $1 contributed by an individual or company other than board members, a match of $1 will be contributed. (As of mid-April, general members, civic groups and local businesses have contributed a total of $1,320.)
- For each $1 contributed by a board member or anyone who has been a board member of the SDCHPS within the last 10 years, $2 will be contributed. (As of mid-April, Gery Anderson, Nancy Bennett, Marsha Carmichael, Candi Duncan, Gene Henderson, Jonathan Matthews, Charles Moss, Sylvia Smith and Norm Trotter have contributed a total of $1,015.)
- Click the Donate button on our website or send donations to SDCHPS, PO Box 586, Selma, AL 36702-0586. Please mark them with "Tremont School" so that they will be put towards this project.
A $10,000 Cultural Facilities Planning Grant from the Alabama State Council on the Arts has been awarded for the year October 1, 2015–September 30, 2016. Planning grants are awarded for such things as feasibility studies, use plans, needs assessment and other contracted work related to the intended operations for an arts facility. The grant is made possible through an appropriation of the Alabama State Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts. The work under a planning grant is preliminary to actual design work and construction, and is a necessary prerequisite for funding for those phases. A match of $10,000 is required. Anyone who wishes to contribute to the Tremont School Project may send a check made payable to SDCHPS to PO Box 586, Selma, AL 36702-0586. Please put "Tremont" on the reference line of your check. To make a contribution by credit card, please call Candi Duncan, SDCHPS Treasurer, at 334-412-8550.
Previous work completed in 2011 just after acquisition of the building included repairing all the front windows and installing storm windows over those, roof repairs, debris removal and some work on electrical systems. To date over $81,000 has been invested in the renovation, with all of the work done by Selma vendors. As of 2015 additional roof repairs are needed and ongoing.
Original post: This 25,000 square foot structure has two full floors above ground, and a full basement. This brick structure is an early 20th century Revival style, and was built in 1913 as Selma's first High School. Ager and Cline were chosen as contractors, and William T. Warren from Birmingham, one of Alabama's foremost architects, designed the school.Most of the Tremont Street structure has remained unused for decades with the school district only using the basement for storage. A deed search indicates that the building has been owned by the City of Selma since 1957 (Deed Book 497, page 2). The previous owner, the City School Board of Selma acquired the lots in 1911 (Deed Book 232, page 326).The structure is still sound, but there is an immediate need for window and roof repairs. Before the structure could be occupied, it will also need new electrical service, a new HVAC system, new plumbing and restrooms, and repairs to walls, floors, doors, and ceilings. An elevator and other accessibility accommodations need to be made. An asbestos and lead paint assessment and abatement program has to be undertaken.

Interventional radiology uses fluoroscopy, CT, and ultrasound to guide insertion through the skin by needle puncture, including wires and catheters, for procedures such as biopsies, draining fluids, and dilating narrowed vessels. Direct interventional radiology procedures include angiography, chemoembolization, thrombolysis, and varicous vein treatment.

University of Michigan researchers may finally have figured out how to use terahertz rays for imaging—by converting them into ultrasound.
The terahertz band lies between microwaves and infrared light on the electromagnetic spectrum.

Radiologists' yearly income decreased by 2 percent in 2013, to an average of $340,000, according to Medscape's annual physician compensation survey.
Radiologists still enjoyed the fifth-highest income among specialists, behind orthopedists ($413,000), cardiologists ($351,000), urologists ($348,000), and gastroenterologists ($348,000). They ranked slightly lower—seventh—among specialists in feeling fairly compensated. Only 53 percent of radiologists said their compensation was fair, putting them behind … read more »

The annual number of medical device recalls almost doubled from 2003 to 2012, and radiology devices made up a big part of the increase.
That information comes from a report published last week by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). The increase in recalls of radiology devices had to do with greater awareness of radiation … read more »
Health insurers should provide financial incentives for physicians to try ultrasound imaging first, before they think about other imaging modalities, according to Kevin M. Goodwin.

The best thing about driving a bus? The excitement. Never knowing who's going to get on where, what routes you're going to get assigned, what shifts you'll get. Plus the sitting. In my condition, being able to work sitting down all day is important. I'm also a big fan of my protective Perspex window. Makes you feel nice and safe that does. Enclosed. You'd be amazed how many people want to spit on a bus driver.
But, ok... I'll let you into a secret. It's not really any of that. Are you ready? It's keeping the stuff people leave behind. That really can be anything. Toys, shoes, hardly touched sandwiches... Mum says that's what's up with my skin, wearing other people's clothes that I find. She reckons I should burn them, or at least wash them. But that would spoil it I think, washing them. That would make them too much like really mine. It far more fun just wearing a coat or a jumper and smelling the person it used to belong to. That's what's exciting, the smell of their loss. Knowing I'm wearing something that belongs to someone else. Especially in public! I mean, what if they saw me? Can you imagine? Who knows, maybe one day someone might even come up and say something to me about something I'm wearing! They might recognise it and come up to me and say something like, "Hey! That's my snood!" and then they'd chase me. Chase me for ages. Into the woods maybe. But they'd never find me because I know places. Places to hide. Yeah, maybe something like that might happen one day. That would be amazing.

If you are looking for a quick and simple Easter craft to do with the kids this weekend then I have the perfect thing for you 'Metallic Easter Eggs'. You can pick up the little kits in most crafty shops; I actually picked mine up from a very budget super market for a couple of pounds.
What you will need
Eggs (always free range)
Protective gloves
Silver metallic paper
Firstly you will need to boil your eggs for 10 minutes until they are hard boiled
While your eggs are boiling fill a cup with boiling water and put your 3 dyes in the hot water so they can become soft
Remove eggs one by one from boiling water, pat dry.
Cut the end off one dye and put 15 drops in your hand, then roll the egg in the dye until it is completely covered
Make sure the egg is still sticky and then cover it in the silver paper, use a spoon to press the paper down so it sticks on the egg.
Repeat this process with the remaining colours and eggs.
Something else that was interesting was after my youngest removed the shell from two eggs he discovered they actually looked like dinosaur eggs which he found a lot of fun!!
I also could not resist creating this little guy, I saw a similar thing on a blog yesterday and I just had to give it ago, so go on get crafty for Easter!!

The US State Department on Monday said that it has ordered some non-essential US embassy officials in Damascus and all embassy dependents to leave Syria because of the "uncertainty and volatility" in the country.
As of this morning, and since July 2010, my abducted daughter Sofia Kircaali, a US citizen, remains in Syria and in harm's way.
Feras Bankosly, M.D.
Last Known Employment Address: Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare Medical Education: University of Aleppo - Syria
Over the Easter weekend and on Monday, the Syrian government's crackdown against protesters and demonstrators appeared to be reaching a crescendo, as President Bashar al-Assad apparently refused to grant any further concessions and seems determined to squelch any further expressions of dissent. Demos against the Syrian regime and Bashar Al-Assad in Damascus, Homs, Aleppo, Banias, Latakia, Douma, and Daraa already left more than hundreds dead!
I've been watching videos on the Internet showing violence inside a mosque one block away from where Sofia currently lives with her mother and grandmother.
Sofia Kidnapped from Home in Florida By Her Syrian National Uncle Who Is an MD in Chicago
More than a year ago, Sofia was abducted from her home in Lighthouse Point, Florida, by her Syrian National uncle Feras Bankosly, MD, who is practicing medicine in the Chicago, IL, area.
In July 2010, based on this uncle's instructions, Sofia was abducted by her mom to Syria where she has been missing her life-saving medical treatment.
State Department photo of Sofia (November 2010) taken during a welfare visit to grandmother's home by the U.S. Embassy in Damascus, Syria.
Sofia's Syrian National uncle is still practicing medicine in the Chicago area.
As I explained repeatedly in multiple blog posts since her abduction more than six months ago, she needs urgent daily therapy, which was initially scheduled until the age of three.
I strongly believe that Uncle Feras Bankosly MD's "physician license" in the United States should be revoked immediately due to his abduction of Sofia from her home in March, 2010, as he has endangered Sofia's life by keeping her away from her much-needed medical care in Syria.
The Syrian doctor should also be deported from the United States for his actions against humanity, as he doesn't care about the health of his two-year-old niece Sofia.
Sofia needs intense urgent daily therapy, up to 4-5 hours per day, which was scheduled to start seven months ago in New Jersey, United States.
She has not received any medical attention for her condition since her abduction to Syria.
Following the border closing between Syria and Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon are also expected to close their borders soon, mainly to stop the mass exodus from Syria.
I will continue discussing the details of my daughter's abduction to Syria on national TV news programs until her safe return home.

Access to crucial HIV/AIDS treatment has dramatically improved for marginalized individuals in London's inner city through a partnership between St. Josephs' Health Care London and the London InterCommunity Health Centre (LIHC).
Recognizing that many individuals with HIV and hepatitis C have difficulty accessing care or are reluctant to seek treatment at a hospital, St. Joseph's and LIHC collaborate to provide a clinic twice a month at LIHC where St. Joseph's specialists, along with the LIHC nursing and social work staff, see patients with HIV.
"Our partnership with LIHC staff has been an example of how well collaboration between organizations can enhance patient care," says Dr. Michael Silverman, Chair/Chief, Infectious Diseases and Medical Director of the Infectious Diseases Care Program at St. Joseph's Hospital. "We have been able to get many people on life-sustaining treatment who would otherwise not be followed for their HIV. By treating people you make their virus undetectable, helping the patient and also helping prevent transmission in the community."
Earlier this year Middlesex London Health Unit officials reported about staggering increases in HIV and hepatitis C in the city in the last 10 years. The partnership between St. Joseph's and LIHC, called the MyCare program, began two years ago as LIHC frontline staff began to recognize and track increasing rates in new diagnoses of HIV among clients of LIHC's Health Outreach Program. By working together, St. Joseph's specialized HIV care is integrated with the case management and primary care provided by LIHC staff , who have a long-term relationship and rapport with the city's vulnerable HIV patients.
"Our staff are specialized in providing primary care and outreach services to individuals experiencing addiction and homelessness, which created a unique opportunity to provide HIV care where clients are already accessing supports and resources, " explains Susan Hocking, Director, Client Services at LIHC.
While HIV treatment now allows people to live long, healthy lives, it's difficult to treat HIV when the individual is also battling addiction, poverty and homelessness, says Dr. Silverman. "Many people with HIV have difficulty with transportation, have chaotic lifestyles and are challenged to keep appointments for long-term follow up. Many of the patients we see at LIHC were referred to St. Joseph's but never came for their appointments. It's clear having them travel to us is not going to work. As the only HIV care providers in the city, we have to make it available, which means bringing care to individuals where they are."
The partnership has also strengthened LIHC's ability to coordinate care for those clients who transition between the community and acute care settings, says Hocking.
"Our clients often experience extreme challenges as they cross the systems of health care. Working with St. Joseph's Infectious Diseases Care Program allows us to follow the client, provide support and advocate for life changing interventions that can lead to sustainable changes such as substance use management, establishing housing on discharge from hospital, following up on HIV treatment started while in hospital or jail, etc."
St. Joseph's and LIHC also partner to provide a weekly hepatitis C clinic at LIHC. Many patients with HIV also have hepatitis C and face the same barriers to care. And Like HIV care, hepatitis C treatment also transforms lives.
For Dr. Kaveri Gupta, an infectious diseases specialist with St. Joseph's, the opportunity to care for HIV patients at LIHC is gratifying.
"There is a perception that these individuals are not eligible for HIV treatment," says Dr. Gupta. "Many feel neglected so it is tremendously rewarding to provide care. As well, HIV treatment has had a ripple effect. When an individual feels better, they feel more confident and may seek support for other challenges in their lives."

About St. Joseph's Infectious Diseases Care Program

The focus is on both medical and psycho-social aspects of HIV/AIDS. In total, St. Joseph's currently cares for about 600 patients with HIV/AIDS, from infants to patients in their 80s, and about 350 patients with hepatitis C.

It's a famous fairytale for little children over the world. Created by American writer over hundred years ago, this book holds in a top list of the best world tales and is loved by the people of all ages. The phenomena of its popularity can be explained by a special atmosphere of a wonderful country where the main hero Dorothy found herself. She was living with aunt and uncle in Kansas. During a cyclone, she didn't have time to go down to the cellar. The cyclone took away the girl and her little dog Toto from the house into the sky and has brought them in an unknown place. There were a lot of colourful flowers and trees instead of grey land like it was at her homeland. Adventures were waiting for the girl and her new friends at this place. She was going to find a way home and only wonderful wizard of Oz could help her with it.

I have been playing trumpet for about 14 years and one thing that I noticed is most important is equipment. Just like a basketball player has to have proper gear (shoes, uniform, etc.) or a carpernter has to have tools (wrench, hammer, nails, drill, etc.), a trumpeter must have proper equipment (horn, mouthpieces, etc.)
This summer I met a trumpeter from Baltimore that has given me lots of advice about equipment and it's importance. Check out the following links about mouthpieces and values and let me know what you think…

STANDISH – The Maine Warden Service says it has charged a Westbrook man with shooting a dog in Standish on the last day of this year's deer hunting season.
Edie Smith, spokeswoman for the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, confirmed Wednesday that Steve Barrows, 50, of Westbrook was issued a summons Monday by Sgt. Tim Spahr on a charge of shooting a domesticated animal.
Game wardens say Barrows shot and killed the Siberian husky on Saturday, a short time after the dog slipped out of its harness and ran into woods near its home on Milt Brown Road.
Smith said the charge is considered a civil violation that could draw a fine or jail time, depending on the outcome of the game warden's investigation, which is continuing.
Contacted at his home Wednesday night, Barrows said he did not want to speak with reporters about the shooting. He expressed anger at the way the media has covered the incident but declined to give his side of the story.
Amanda Barrett, one of the owners of the 11-month-old dog named Niko, said, "We want (Barrows) to have his firearm taken away. … He left Niko's body in the woods. He could have called the Warden Service. Our family is just really upset."
Under Maine law, it is illegal to shoot a domesticated animal such as a dog or a cat. Smith said the Warden Service urges deer hunters to identify their targets before they shoot.
She said no further details about the shooting could be released because the investigation is not complete.
Saturday was the last day of Maine's season for hunting deer with firearms, she said. The shooting was the third death this season in which a family pet was shot by a deer hunter.
In early November in Orrington, the Maine Warden Service charged Seth White, 53, of Orrington with shooting a domesticated animal. A German shepherd was running loose in the woods when White shot and killed the animal, the Warden Service says.
Also last month, in the Oxford County town of Magalloway, wardens charged Christopher Salatino of Dixfield with shooting a domesticated animal. Salatino was deer hunting when he shot and killed a dog that he thought was a coyote.
The dog, also a German shepherd, was in the woods with its owner, Cindy Williams, a forester from Errol, N.H.
Jack Freitas, Standish's animal control officer, assisted wardens with their investigation of Saturday's shooting. He said Niko's body was found in woods off Route 25.
"The dog had been shot once in the torso," said Freitas, who secured the scene and waited for wardens to arrive.
Freitas said he is familiar with the family that owned Niko. He said the dog somehow slipped out of its harness, which is why it was running free in the woods.
"They are extremely responsible dog owners," Freitas said. "I'm the animal control officer, and sometimes my dog gets loose."
Barrett said Niko slipped out of its harness late Saturday morning and ran into the woods. She and other members of her family went after the dog but turned back for fear that they could be shot by hunters.
"A few minutes later, we heard gunshots," she said.
They searched the woods for Niko again on Sunday, without success. Finally, the family put up posters around town showing a photograph of the dog.
A logger, whose name was unavailable, went to Barrett's home on Monday and told the family he had gotten the license plate number of the hunter who shot Niko.
According to Barrett, the logger or one of his assistants saw the shooting — a claim the Warden Service could not substantiate.
Barrett said Barrows called her family on Tuesday night to apologize.
Her aunt, Melissa West, said she spoke with Barrows for a few minutes.
West said Barrows told her he thought Niko was a "coy dog" — another term for coyote.
"He sounded very sincere and upset by what happened. He apologized a number of times," West said. "But I told him the least he could have done was to have moved Niko's body out of the woods and notified the game wardens."
Barrett and West said wardens told the family that Niko was shot from no more than 15 feet away.
They also said that Barrows was deer hunting with a companion and that the hunters had shot a buck and were tracking it when the dog was shot.

I decided to take a quick trip back to New Jersey on Wednesday to visit my folks, relax and do some riding on some of the beautiful roads we have around North-Central Jersey. I gotta say, the experience was quite nostalgic and most definitely therapeutic. I'm scheduled to start a new job on Monday and as you could imagine, I've had quite a bit running through my head the past week (not just anxiousness to start). So what better way to take your mind off things than by re-riding some of your favorite roads from the high school racing days? Nothing; and no prescription necessary. I finally dialed-in the correct stack height on the Soma too, so that nub will be chopped as soon as I get back to my tools in VT.
Ritte Racing: Crossberg
The Ritte Crossberg is bound to be one of the lightest and stiffest carbon 'cross frames out there for the 2011 season. Even though you've already missed the beginning of the season, I'd keep an eye on this beast. It's sub-1160 grams for a 54 cm frame and those massive chain stays and downtube mean you'll be transferring way more juice to those cranks and still get a reasonably supple ride.
See another shot below as well as a photo of their limited run, stainless/carbon 'cross machine: The Steeplechase.

Stevens Cyclocross Bike
Just like the folks at Embrocation Cycling Journal, I hadn't heard of Stevens Bikes up until recently. I gotta say, for a simple, no-frills monocoque frame these are looking awesome! Stevens is also known for a slightly shorter headtube and lower bottom bracket-these are built to shred.
On another note, Embrocation is going through a bit of a change…one that'll allow them to sell these 'cross bikes. Read allaboutit here.
