Alhamdulillah wa shukrulillah.
It's the last Friday of this holy month of Ramadan.
One takeaway from the Shaykh on this second last day of Ramadan.
"Don't recognize giving and withholding, harm and benefit, as being from any other than Allah."
Subhanallahi amma yushrikun.
Many of us Malaysians have just performed the last teraweh. May Allah forgive our shortcomings and weaknesses for our deeds can never be perfect. May Allah grant us a long life until the next teraweh in the next Ramadan. Ameen.
Many of you Malaysians must be heading home. Wish y'all a safe trip. I am fortunate this year to be back in my kampung quite early so I have been making myself useful helping around the house. May Allah make us one who is always ready to offer benefit to others, with our talents, energy, knowledge, time or money. Ameen,

I've decided that if I was just any other English Ren woman, I'd have more say in who I married than if I were of the higher classes. Okay, I'll stop thinking about this now. I promise.

After reading your post, I started thinking, well, if you can choose the time period, can't you just as easily choose your social position? In which case, couldn't you say, um, I'll be queen? But then I thought, hey, I kinda like my head. And I like it attached to my neck and the rest of my body. I wouldn't want to worry about it not remaining that way...

LET'S SEE, WHERE DID WE LEAVE OFF? - Oh, yes, Patiently waiting for a part. We are now into the 2nd description of patience, i.e., calmly tolerating delay, confusion, etc. It seems there was some confusion as to who was paying for our little part to be shipped, so it sat in the Watermakers Air terminal for several days before finally arriving at Staniel Cay. We, however, grew tired of the game so we decided to head back over to Great Guana Cay and do a little bit of snorkeling at Hetties Land and try to remember "it is the islands mon" and "every little ting is gonna be alright". We were assured by Watermakers Air that the part would be in on the next afternoon flight - so on their word we motored back to Staniel Cay for the 3:30 flight the next day. Are you sure our part is not on that plane????? After several more phone conversations we found out that the girl who "assured" us our part would be on the plane was off work that day, and oops, the part did not make the plane. That's it - we are going to the Little Farmers Cay Festival held on the First Friday in February and we will show Watermakers Air we don't care when the flipping part arrives (well we do, but, don't tell them). We are now back in Staniel Cay for the Super Bowl, the 5 F festival was a riot, we've got our part, the Packers beat the Steelers, and, yes, "every little ting is gonna be alright".
Snorkeling at Hetties Land - White Point, Great Guana Cay (still trying to figure out the underwater camera)
We actually were looking for lobster, but no luck today.
Moving on to the Little Farmers Cay First Friday in February Festival - we think it originally was a family reunion of sorts for locals who have moved off the island to return for a weekend of festivities, including a sailing regatta, contests, food, drink and lots of music. It's listed in our cruising guides, so I guess we are invited.
The C-Sloops having to manuever around all the boats in the anchorage.
Now on to the craziness!
After the race we walked to town and found the bar, the restaurant and the best male legs and butt contest.
Great Conch Fritters and lobster for lunch - Bob on Big Run, Joe on Short Walk, Michael on Second Star and Gerry on Monks Vineyard (not pictured) have all just been hustled by a woman from Ocean Cabin Restaurant and Bar to enter the Mens Best Legs & Bum Contest. Drink up Mateys - the fun is about to begin!
The line up - getting their mojo on.
Brooklyn - are you kidding me?
It was a close tie between Bob on Big Run and Michael on Second Star, both Krogenites - but Michael was declared the winner and then the rum shots started flowing.
It's amazing how many friends you can make when you are carrying around a bottle of rum. Michael, Rick Jana (Michael's better half) and Sharon & Bob.
This little guy won all of our hearts - his name was Nathan and he was in love with my digital camera.
Gerry & Linda - photo courtesy of Nathan
Rick & Sharon - photo courtesy of Nathan
We (meaning Rick & I) did miss the rest of the festivities for the day -hermit crab racing, butt darts (involving quarters being carried in your butt) and the music jam session at the yacht club - Izzy needed to be pumped out and fed and then the pillow was calling our names - just a five minute nap - I promise. Saturday became more of local event - and all the crazy boater stuff calmed down - thank goodness.
Exuma Marching Band
Yah Mon!
P.S. Thanks Kim & Jim for following the blog - next time we will wait a couple of days after posting our patiently waiting for parts to see if you might have a spare.

"We hang around the same people in Hawaii and I see him all the time out there," Bennett said. "He is a really good guy. He does a lot in the community and also he is just a great person.

In his first training camp, he knows he can force his way into the picture up front.

He has fought for that right, but he said it's the way the players are protesting that is disappointing."I fought for their right to freedom and speech, and, again, there is a time and a place.

The next thing i need to report on is that i have, with some of my colleagues/friends, started to meet on Tuesdays to sew! we have officially reinstated the Tuesdays sewing tradition, and it was great! so much fun... i personally took the opportunity to begin work on my Xmas presents to my two nieces... two lovely dresses...For the younger one, i used a kind of knit in deep grey which i am going to adorn with some contrasting flowers. The pattern i chose was "Sophia #BS-005" (which i got for free months ago, from the Burda website... http://www.burdastyle.com/patterns/sophia...it appears to be $2 now...)
For the elder one, a girly dress with a beautiful "end of the roll" bit of fabric i bought at my local charity shop.... the pattern is a bit "traditional" but i will do it with a "twist"... something like this could be great fun... keep you posted ;-)

In Luke 15, Jesus tells the parable of a man who had two sons. We see one son ask for his father's inheritance, run off, waste his life on sin and return home to his father thinking he has no chance or right to be called or treated like a son. The older son stays home, works for his father, and stays obedient. When the young, rebellious son returns home, we see the father embrace his son with compassion and throw a huge party in honor of his son's return. The older son is jealous and angry that the younger son was treated so favorably while he himself had been so obedient all the years serving his father. The father reminds the older son that he has always been by his side and everything the father owns is also his.
Both of the sons deal with an extreme. The younger son looks thinks he has been destroyed by his reputation and actions. The older son think his reputation and actions should qualify himself to earn more respect than his younger brother. The younger son is approached with grace and without condemnation from the father. The father treats him with a feast because nothing can take away the fact that that is his son. The older son has to be reminded that he is also a son and has been faithful all the years. He is stuck on his righteous acts and believes that he is entitled to an inheritance. His works would have never saved him, but the fact that he is a son of his father gives him an inherited value and worth. (Read Luke Chapter 15:11-32 for the whole story here.)
Balancing these two extremes of self-hate and egotism is very difficult. It can be harmful to dwell on either too long in our walk with Christ. I can't live a life acting like I'm not forgiven, yet I have to keep in mind that I do not deserve forgiveness. Live like you are forgiven, and meekly remember that you would be nothing without the Father. As Pastor David said in our last sermon, "Forgiveness is the source of incredible joy in our lives." Live in that joy.
We cannot earn an inheritance. We have to be born or adopted into one.
When we worship, we should come to the Father humbly and boldly because of what Christ has done and who we are in Him.
Have a great week!

Summer School – It's Your Turn to Learn: Repetition
Welcome to our final session of MFT Summer School! Based on your feedback, we gathered that you've enjoyed sessions one and two, so we're forging ahead with five more lessons to inspire you. If you happened to miss the first two sessions, HERE is a link to bring you up to speed.
Session one focused on design principles, and session two gave you the tools you needed to confidently create with color. This week we'll be sharing three design principles and two more color lessons to round out your summer education.
We're hoping that by the end of the week, our final five lessons will give you the confidence you need to create cards and projects that are pleasing to the eye just by following a few more simple rules and tutorials. It's never to learn to grow and learn! Are you ready class? Let's begin.
Lesson #11 – Design: Repetition
The first lesson this week centers around the concept of using Repetition. Repetition is the repeating of visual elements such as line, color, shape, texture, value, or image. Using repetition tends to unify the total effect of a card's design as well as create rhythm.
Here are two great examples of the use of repetition by Miriam Prantner and Francine Vuillème:
Miriam repeats colors and shapes in her graphic design.
Francine masters repetition by repeating an image. The patterned paper at the bottom of the card grounds the design to perfection.
Today's instructor is My Favorite Things Design Team member Stephanie Klauck. Click HERE or simply watch the video below to learn more about using Repetition in your designs.
I just loved Stephanie's tips about painter's tape for masking off the stencil. And her use of the MISTI is awesome! I'm not sure how I ever lived without mine.
And here's her finished product. So fun and colorful! Her repeated colors and dots create a cohesive and pleasing design.
To aid in your learning, we have created a My Favorite Things Summer School Session Three Study Guide. Download it HERE, and then print it. It will be a handy tool that you can refer to as you design!
This week you're the student, and instead of grades, we've got two prizes per day and two ways to win. Using today's lesson, we'd love for you to create a project that exemplifies what you learned and upload it to the link below. Master the lesson and win a $50 voucher from My Favorite Things and be featured on the blog on August 25th. Just by participating, you'll be entered into a drawing to win a $20 voucher, so everyone has a chance!
All entries must be submitted by noon EDT on August 21st. Winners will be announced here on the blog on Tuesday, August 25th.Here's your homework for your chance to win:
- Create a project following the lesson you learned today.
- Be sure to link your project below for your chance to win!
Before you go, be sure to stop by the blogs of these members of our Creative Team for more lessons on how to use Repetition in your projects.
Now make sure to do your homework! Class dismissed.

This is Phillip Schofield's secret bum double – a hunky former male model who normally doubles for JOHNNY DEPP .
ITV selected dashing Dominic Van Bunnens from hundreds after employing a casting agency to find a bum worthy of housewife's favourite Phillip.
Dominic, 40, confirmed to the Mirror it was his bottom in the Text Santa trailer, which aired for the first time on Monday night.
The silver-haired hunk added "It's my first time being a bottom double. I used to do a modelling when I was younger.
"Now its more acting. One day it's Hollywood films, the next it's stripping off naked in front of Holly Willoughby ."
Talking about getting his bum in tip-top condition for the day of filming, he added: "I doubled up on my gym workouts to make sure that my bum looked the part.
READ MORE: Phillip Schofield follows in David Beckham's footsteps and uses a BUM double
"On the day of filming, and still slightly apprehensive, I was told by the studio that I would be wearing a Christmas jumper… and was then handed a sock.
"You can guess what that was for."
Dominic, who as well as his acting work runs Silver Fox Media, which represents many sports broadcasters, said he may even now add ' Phillip Schofield 's stunt bum' to his CV.
He added: "No man thinks he will meet Holly in that kind of outfit.
"But as my moment drew closer, I used my experience of filming to muster up my confidence and just went for it.
"There's nothing quite like waiting to see your bare bum aired on national TV, and since it was aired I've had people contact me asking what exercises I do to get 'the perfect bum' which is flattering.
The advert showed Phillip turning up to This Morning having forgotten to pop on his trousers, prompting Holly's look of despair.
But the Mirror revealed how ITV bosses decided to draft in the bottom double to spare the presenter having to strip off in front of his colleagues and camera crew.
Phillip said: "I thought about getting my own bum out, but then I was offered a bum double and decided that I'd follow in the footsteps of David Beckham and spare Holly the view from the front.
"Even though we're best friends, some things don't need to be shared."
Beckham's rear was substituted in the TV advert for his underwear line at H&M.

AUSTIN, Texas (BRAIN) — Andrew Tilin, a journalist and author, died Saturday after being struck by a vehicle while he was on the side of the road fixing a flat during a group rider near Austin.
Tilen, 52 was a former editor at Outside magazine and a longtime contributor to that title. He also was author of "The Doper Next Door," a 2011 book about his time living and competing while undergoing testosterone therapy.
According to the Austin American Statesman, Tilen was on the side of the road when a "pickup and car collided nearby, sending the truck spinning into Tilin."
Tilen was on a ride with the local Grupo VOP club.
According to Outside, Tilin is survived by his partner, Shellie Thompson Oroshiba; two children, Isaac and Leila; his former wife, Madeleine Tamayo Tilin; and his sister, Tracy.

Sensing Our Planet: California Carbon
Data from NASA's Carbon Monitoring System, archived at ORNL DAAC, is featured in the 2017 issue of Sensing Our Planet. The full article is available on NASA's Earthdata website at Carbon Control.
On a hilly peninsula overlooking the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, 5000 miles of pipeline zigzag over Richmond, California. The Chevron Richmond Refinery, established in 1902, is one of five refineries in the East Bay region, coined "refinery corridor," where industrial grids dominate and stacks disrupt the horizon. Air quality has been an issue here for over a century, but recently the invisible ingredients—the health-damaging pollutants and warming greenhouse gases—are of major concern in the backdrop of climate change.
California's 2016 bill is intended to give lawmakers more oversight of the state's Air Resources Board with a goal of reducing 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and 80 percent by 2050. As Nick Parazoo, a researcher at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory put it, "There is no easy way of verifying whether that is going to happen or not." To help lawmakers know if targets have been met, a group of scientists led by Heather Graven at Imperial College in London, created a simulation, or a theoretical case study, to see how best to increase confidence in greenhouse gas emission measurements.

Kanye West Face Down
New kanye's track titled 'Face Down' featuring Quavo & Lil Yachty leaks online. Back in January, Quavo had revealed that he had been closely working with Kanye on new music, including making beats alongside him.
He had added that the tracks were of "a crazy, different feel." No music from the two came out following that but 'Face Down' sounds like it could be from those sessions the Migos rapper was talking about.

Disclosed is a method for cooling a handheld or portable device. Benefits include improved functionality, improved power performance, and improved reliability.
Method for cooling a handheld or portable device
Disclosed is a method for cooling a handheld or portable device. Benefits include improved functionality, improved power performance, and improved reliability.
Thermal management is required for packages with increasing power in hand-held or portable device. The increasing power is higher than the power levels that the package and system can handle, resulting in high operation temperature and higher risk for product reliability.
Conventionally, reducing package junction-to-board thermal resistance (θjb) increases the package capability to handle higher power.
Ice coolers have been conventionally used for food storage. Ice pads are frozen. Then, they are placed inside the ice cooler. Heat from the food or the heat leakage through the ice cooler wall is absorbed by the ice pads. The food or drink inside the ice cooler is maintained at a lower temperature than the ambient air. When the ice pads reach their heat absorbing capacity, the ice cooler cannot maintain the low temperature any more and additional cold ice pads must be added.
The packages inside the hand-held and portable device conventionally rely on the printed circuit board (PCB) to dissipate heat to ambient by natural convection or radiation. Cooling capability is very limited, and high power dissipation for an extended time can easily result in a device temperature exceeding the specification (see Figure 1).
General description
The disclosed method is a cooling solution for a hand-held or portable device. The concept is similar to the ice cooler and ice pads. The electronic devices and the ice-pad type of material are placed inside an enclosure with thermal insulation around it. A heat pipe or thermal-conductive metal rod inserted into the cooler acts as a thermal bridge between the cooler and the docking station. A very small amount of weight is added to the hand-held or portable device. The weight of solid-state refrigeration or the thermo-electrical cooler is located on the docking station.
During charge mode, the hand-held or portable device must be plugged into the docking station. The power supply or the AC/DC converter through the electrical connector and the electrical circuit supplies the electrical power to the battery. The solid-state refrigeration or thermo-electrical cooler, remove the heat from the ice-pad type of material to the ambient environment through the heat pipe, thermal conductive rod, or the thermal conductor. After charging is competed, the battery is full and the ice-pad material is cold and frozen.
During operation mode, the hand-held or portable device is removed from the docking station. The electronic device is powered by the battery. The heat generated by the electronic device is absorbed by the ice-pad material inside the cooler. An indicator provides the user with a charge warning whenever the battery is low, the heat absorbing capacity is reached, or the electronic device exceeds the tempe...

Photovoltaic panel are certainly not the most typical position ever previously to view placed on homes. This article attends to several of the aspects where they normally aren't usually well-known at present. Solar panels will still be a pretty new modern day technology. The whole of traditions remains to be trapped on the expectancy that your particular property will unquestionably be powered by energy, purchased from a power electricity provider. Nearly all of this electrical energy distributor is undoubtedly created from dropping fossil fumes. The difficulty using this is it gives off carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide causes climatic change. The reason being it develops a coating in the ambiance that could catch the sunlight's sun rays, causing the worldwide typical temperature to go up. This has turmoil using the weather conditions around the world, indicating that significant situations come to be a growing number of frequent. For instance, in the uk, we are repetitively encountering not just warm summertime's, yet the coldest winter seasons on document also. Additionally instability from the environment, throughout the world warming leads to significant physiques of ice cubes throughout the Arctic as well as Antarctica to melt, generates an enhancement in sea levels.
This may set off definitely main difficulties for reduced-telling lies countries, a few of which are very terrible as well as simply cannot afford to control the nationally calamities this might create. As an example, get Bangladesh. 50Per cent of your nation is below 50cm over water levels, as well as 25% of the country is below 25cm over normal water levels. Envision just how major also a little increase in water level could have to Bangladesh. Extremely progressively, a difference is going on in social assumptions while there is increasingly more scattering in the mass media in the probable outcomes of climate change. Solar energy systems are certainly not nevertheless incredibly favored, since only simply because April 2010 in Britain for instance, have in fact there been extremely satisfying solutions recognized from the federal government to offer personal houses critical fiscal incentives to attach them. In Britain, any house with photovoltaic panels is skilled to obtain the Nourish in Cost.
This indicates that the electrical power created by photovoltaic panels on your own house might be marketed returning to the key grid if you do not make use of it as an alternative to your regular solar for home solutions to slice your charges. This is likely to figure to between 850 as well as 1,500 each year, free from taxation plus certain by the government for twenty five years, indicating that the photovoltaic panels pays their selves away from normally soon after about 9 years, so a great number of pounds of profits may be made from them. We could only hope that as more plus more homes receive photovoltaic panels put in, an ordinary alter will definitely be produced. Staying on par with the Joneses will no longer propose purchasing a bigger automobile after that them, or possibly a far better mower. Alternatively, it will show installation photovoltaic panels plus consequently unveiling not only wills you are making smart economic selections, but that you are currently a responsible member of traditions that appreciates future generations. Without doubt, this modification will certainly take many yrs – the program has in fact just been provided in the in 2015, and also photovoltaic panels are certainly quite a major investment.

Issued: Sunday, 20th March 2016
The Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room has been observing the Rivers ReRun elections conducted on Saturday March 19th and the build up to the polls.
Overall the polls have been highly disappointing at most levels – there was significant violence and loss of life, allegations of serious malpractice, and extensive delays.
So far this has resulted in the suspension or cancellation of 8 of 23 local governments. The poll is particularly disappointing because it involves marshalling the combined resources of INEC and the security services nationally for a stand alone election.
Instead of a model exercise the Rivers re-run featured almost all the incidents which should have been eliminated. In some areas, polls were peaceful and orderly, and we commend voters and electoral officials for their patience and their efforts in an atmosphere that was difficult and generally led to very low turnouts.
We note that in several LGAs there were allegations of 'fake' or incomplete results sheets – notably in Bonny, Gokana, Andoni and Khana. Issues of results sheets should have been cleared well before election day and we call for a balanced investigation into how this controversy came about.
There were credible reports of violence in a number of LGAs and reports of between 8 and 13 deaths (some officially acknowledged) with the possibility that the tally may be higher. All of the incidents of violence deserve impartial investigation and prosecution of those responsible.
Despite clear directives from the police, senior members of both the major political parties were observed at the headquarters of local governments in disputed areas (observed in Khana and Gokana). While concerns over problems are understandable, we reiterate that political parties have fueled concerns over interference in the poll.
The logistics of the re-run poll were of serious concern. Reports on the day suggest problems with security arrangements may have been a factor but the delays in opening polls even in areas within Port Harcourt were seen as excessive for a poll that commanded such close attention and resources.
There were serious allegations made about partisan conduct of the military around the poll in some locations. These deserve independent investigation and suitable action if wrongdoing is found. We note that INEC suspended polls in several LGAs due to irregularities and we commend this decision given that we had received reports of serious incidents and diversion of materials in Tai and Eleme LGAs. We call on INEC to make its investigation of other LGAs comprehensive and to release in full its findings once these have reached a conclusion.
In light of the conduct before the election and serious allegations around the poll we also call on the political parties to take responsibility for their members, conduct investigations, and discipline those who have behaved outside the democratic standards to which they have committed.
Once again we condemn the threats and intimidation that was meted out to electoral officials both before and during the poll. We call on INEC to fully investigate the difficulties encountered with completing the Rivers Rerun elections and to take the conclusions into full account when making preparations for concluding remaining polls in the state.
This statement is issued by the Nigerian Civil Society Situation Room, a platform of more than 70 Nigerian civil society organisations working on good governance issues, including: Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre, PLAC, CLEEN Foundation, Action Aid Nigeria, Centre for Democracy and Development, Enough is Enough, WANGONET, JDPC, Election Monitor, YIAGA, CISLAC, Nigerian Women Trust Fund, Stakeholders Democracy Network, Proactive Gender Initiative and several other CSOs

Tuesday 5 March saw the opening of 2 Years After: The Great East Japan Earthquake Press Photo Exhibition at the Gallery@Oxo on Southbank.
The exhibition serves as a poignant reminder of the tragedy of 2011 and its enduring consequences. Images on display, from a variety of photographers, chronicle the immediate aftermath of the disaster, efforts toward recovery, and the work that remains to be done. The intention of the display is to raise awareness. The curators have attempted to highlight the legacy of the earthquake and tsunami and to prevent its continuing effects from being forgotten. Visitors to the exhibition will hopefully once again turn their thoughts to those continuing to suffer in Tohoku today.
The opening ceremony was attended by representatives of the Asahi Shimbun newspaper and Mitsubishi Corporation, who co-hosted the exhibition, alongside His Excellency Mr Keiichi Hayashi, Ambassador of Japan to the UK. Some short introductory speeches were made, drawing attention to the exhibition's aims and encouraging all those attending to examine the displays in detail.
Full of poignant images of the aftermath of disaster and the personal stories of those most affected, the exhibition is a stark reminder of the power of nature and the scope of the devastation cause by a natural disaster.
Hopefully the coming weeks will see many visitors to the Gallery@Oxo. The exhibition is both an important memorial and a cry for renewed support.
For more details of the exhibition opening times, click here.
Christopher Purvis, former chairman of the Japan Society, recently visited Tohoku with the Sanaburi foundation to chart the progress of reconstruction projects in the area, and report on the huge challenge that remains.

The gigantic earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 devastated a huge area of Tohoku and resulted in 15,845 confirmed deaths and over 3,000 people reported missing. This unprecedented natural disaster triggered an explosion at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant spreading radiation in the immediate aftermath. As the initial impact of this world-wide media event fades there has been speculation as to its longer term significance. Some social critics have even labelled this event the 'second defeat of the war,' implying it could be an epoch changing event from which Japan will have to resurrect itself. The Japanese media have begun to use the phrase 'post 3.11' to describe a society under transformation in imitation of post 9.11 New York.
What can the world learn from Japan's experiences of this unprecedented disaster? Reactions have revealed many hidden aspects of Japanese society, raising enormously important questions regarding society, economy, politics, people, culture, science, technology and media. We have invited specialists from Japan and the UK in diverse fields to a two-day conference to be held on March 23 & 24 in 2012 – just over a year on from the disaster.
The conference at The Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies is intended to provoke academic debate among social scientists from both countries to contribute to our mutual understanding of how an industrialised society like Japan can confront and overcome such a traumatic natural disaster, accompanied by a still continuing nuclear crisis in Fukushima. We invite you to join us.
A full event schedule can be found here.
The workshop is free and open to the public but space is limited. All those who wish to attend the workshop and reception (5.30pm on Friday, 23 March) must register with Miss Jane Baker (email@example.com; Tel: 01865 274570) For more information visit the website.
At a lecture to the Japan Society on 11 October 2011, Christopher and Phillida Purvis reported on their visit to the Tohoku region six months after the earthquake and tsunami.
During this trip, they visited towns and villages in all three prefectures and spoke with many of those who were involved in recovery projects.
Some 130 people attended the event, including members of the Japan Society, donors to the Tohoku Earthquake Relief Fund and members of the general public. It was a clear demonstration that the situation in Tohoku is still very much on people's minds. As Christopher and Phillida found during their visit, support shown by people all over the world, including the UK, has been of some comfort and encouragement to those whose lives have been so devastated by this disaster.
Full text of their talk may be read online or downloaded as Word documents here.
The Japan Society is delighted to announce its partnership with the Sanaburi Foundation to distribute money donated to the Tohoku Earthquake Relief Fund to NPOs and voluntary organizations throughout Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima in support of local recovery projects.
Christopher Purvis, Chairman of the Japan Society, commented "We were all shocked and saddened to see the devastation in Tohoku. It quickly became clear that once the emergency relief work of the Japanese government and major NGOs had finished, and the basic physical needs of the victims of the disaster had been met, there would be an immense amount of work to be done to rebuild lives and livelihoods. It is our hope that projects facilitated through this Fund will provide support for the emotional and physical needs of those in the affected areas in the process of recovery."

Seven months after The Great East Japan Earthquake, Christopher and Phillida Purvis will report on a recent visit to Tohoku. During this trip they visited towns and villages throughout the region from Soma in the south to Kamaishi in the north. They spoke at length with government officials, staff from charitable and voluntary agencies, people running local businesses and other survivors of the disaster.
In this talk, they will share their impressions of life in the different places visited; report on the state of recovery and the task that still lies ahead; as well as present film footage and photographs taken during the trip. In particular, they will discuss the role of NPOs and local voluntary organizations in the recovery process and the way in which donations to the Japan Society Tohoku Relief Fund are being used to support them.
Christopher Purvis CBE has been chairman of the Japan Society since 2006 and has spent the last 13 years of his career in the not-for-profit sector. His main interests are in the arts, Japan, the social sector and education. He holds a number of positions in this field, including chairman of the Barbican Centre Trust, and founding trustee of IntoUniversity. He also had a close connection with Japan during his business career and spent over 10 years there, having established the Tokyo branch of SG Warburg.
Phillida Purvis MBE serves on the Japan Society Tohoku Earthquake Relief Fund Management Committee liaising with voluntary organizations in Japan on its establishment. She is Founder and Director of Links Japan which was established in 1998 to promote sharing between civil society organizations in the EU and Japan. She has run exchange programmes between NPOs, NGOs and community organizations on a range of social sector issues, such as community regeneration, social inclusion, social enterprise and international development cooperation.

Schools throughout the UK responded quickly and generously to news of The Great East Japan Earthquake, which struck on the 11th March 2011. They delivered thousands of messages of support, organised fundraising events and sought ways to find and share information. While some had no previous connection with Japan, others have been working for many years with Japanese partners to create an educational community which crosses physical and linguistic boundaries.
Beyond Words – Beyond Borders celebrates the activities of school students in response to this disaster. It demonstrates their imagination and creativity as they reach out in many different ways. The exhibition also features some of the ongoing work by schools in creating partnerships and developing friendships on the other side of the world.
The Japan Society's schools education programme provides educational resources, school visits, grants and workshop based training, as well as school links, partner-finding services and other forms of assistance. It directly supports over 100 British school links with Japan through various means, including translation services for teachers and a bilingual website for students, Japan-UK live! Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, it has forwarded letters from British schools to over 300 schools in Tohoku: all were first translated by Japan Society members and volunteers on the Japan in Your Classrom programme.
The Earthquake Letter Project is an effort by the Japan Society and its membership to educate and involve children in relief effort projects such as the Japan Society Tohoku Earthquake Relief Fund, which was formed to provide long-term support to NPO's and voluntary organisations in the affected areas on locally agreed projects which contribute to the rebuilding of affected communities.

Mrs Moneypenny. E-mail from Tokyo
columns from the Financial Times 1999 – 2000
Tsunami Relief Edition (All of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the Japan Society Tohoku Earthquake Relief Fund)
Price £10 + £2 UK p&p (£3.50 – EU, Europe & Russia; £5.50 – Rest of the World)
Please contact the Japan Society for postage costs for multiple copies, or other specific enquiries.
Mrs Moneypenny is a working mother of three who runs a business in London, outsources her children to various educational establishments and has been married to a golf-obsessed Australian for more than 20 years. A former stockbroker and investment banker, she has acquired a large mortgage, several academic degrees of varying uselessness, a passion for shooting innocent birds and a private pilot's licence. Her weekly column appears in the Weekend Financial Times and keeps people entertained and educated around the world.
On March 18 2011, Mrs Moneypenny published a column in the Weekend Financial Times describing her feelings about the devastation in Japan that resulted from the earthquake and tsunami, and the nuclear accidents that followed. As someone who had lived and worked in Tokyo for two years, she felt intimately connected to it but powerless to help. She decided to republish this short collection of columns that she wrote from Japan in 1999 and 2000 and give all the books to the Japan Society to sell in aid of the Tohoku Earthquake Relief Fund.
"The tsunami was, above all, a terrible human tragedy. Mrs Moneypenny's e-mails show us, quite brilliantly, Japan in all its lovely humanity, with its fascination and its foibles, and help boost our confidence in this delightful country's speedy recovery"

Will "new" ethics ordinance change fund-raising practices?
The article details some donations directly from parties doing business with the city of Laredo. It remains to be seen how much of this practice, if any, will continue with the new ethics ordinance taking effect.
From The Laredo Morning Times
Three Laredo City Council members face re-election contests in November, but none of them were among the biggest fundraisers over the last six months.
Narvaez and Liendo Espinoza both reported $1,500 in contributions, while Vera reported only $500. Perez reported $3,850 in contributions; San Miguel and Garza each raised more than $7,000 in campaign funds.
Vera said he expects to have only one fundraiser in August to fund his campaign and would otherwise reach out directly to voters.
Both Vera and Liendo Espinoza received $500 contributions from the law firm of Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson or partner Paul Chapa.
The firm, which handles the city's contract for collection of municipal court fees, gave $500 to Garza as well.
Daniel Markson, senior vice president of NRP Group, also gave $125 to Garza. NRP is working with the city to finance construction of La Terraza at Lomas Del Sur Apartments, a 128-unit affordable housing complex in South Laredo.
Garza received $495 total in contributions this year from NRP employees.
Perez received contributions from a number of local businesses, including $100 from Sherfey Engineering Co.
The engineering firm is providing consulting services for the second phase of the Chacon Creek Hike and Bike Trail.
Several council members spend money through their campaign in support of nonprofits or other charitable donations.
Garza, who spent more than $7,900 in campaign funds, said almost all of it went toward scholarships for United Independent School District graduating students.
He holds a bowling tournament each year that provided $500 to five students each from three South Laredo high schools.
He said 2012 would be an "awkward year" for candidates looking to raise campaign funds.
"It's difficult to raise money when another election is going on," he said.
"It's going to be a short window between the runoff and city elections."

How about all the money and gifts and trips that Garza received from Kell Munoz? You know Kell Munoz, the SA company that ripped off the Laredo taxpayer for over $500,000.00. Ask any Council Member or City Manager employee why they have not returned the money or why KM did not fulfill their contract, they won't answer the question. What a scam!ReplyDelete
I agree. I attended the "public hearings" that Kell-Munoz had at the civic center. They too were a joke. They sat everyone in groups and then as time was running out, they would have one person from each group talk for about 10 seconds and that was it. OH, yes and on the third meeting they gave some sort of powerpoint presentation showing all sorts of ideas that even they could not expect to come to fruition.ReplyDelete

Our card for today, Wednesday, March 2nd, is taken from the Archangel Gabriel Oracle Cards – Ask For What You Want – "Clear communication with yourself, with God, and with others helps you avoid misunderstandings and speeds up the process of answered prayers."
Yesterday our card was "Pray" and now today we are being given clearer instructions on how to do that. This also works for the Law of Attraction as well. If we are unclear about what it is we want, how can we expect a clear answer to our prayer? Sometimes we find ourselves wanting this or that particular thing, but then a day or two later we have changed our minds. This can be confusing for God and the angels to give us an exact and proper answer if we ourselves are unsure of exactly what it is we want.
Until recently there was a time lag in the answering of our prayers, or the manifestation of what we hoped to create in our lives, so that we had time to change our minds if we so desired. But since December 21st, 2012, when the old era ended and the new began, that time lag is getting shorter and shorter with the new energy on our planet. Someday, in the not too distant future, what we wish for, and pray for, and work on manifesting into our lives will be almost immediate. There will be no time to change our minds on what it is we wanted. So this is why we are being asked now to be certain and clear when we pray for what it is we want, or what we wish to manifest into our reality.
This is why we are also being asked to keep our thoughts positive because even the things we don't want, if given enough focus and have an emotional charge behind them, will also manifest much more quickly. It might be a good idea to write what we want down on paper, for example make a list of the qualities we seek in a mate, or make a list of the pros and cons of getting what we are asking for, that kind of thing, so that we are crystal clear in our intent. The more specific we can be, the higher the chance of receiving exactly what it is we are asking for. But most of all, one thing we need to remember, if we don't ask for what we want, we have little chance in ever getting it.
Have a great day everyone! ~Namaste~

3 Quick Tips to Manage Stress: No More Clutter!
Stress can be overwhelming, which belies its general approach: it creeps. It builds up around the edges of your life, at school, at your job, in your relationships. Because of its slow accretion, it is all the more surprising when it comes crashing down. Its mode of attack makes us want to fight back using broad gestures, like whole new exercise regimens, new cities to live in, new relationships. While any of these might be valid, you are treating the crash while ignoring the creep. I will be talking about other ways to deal with the slow infiltration of stress in other hubs (including my treatise on relaxation breathing), but for now, let's keep it simple. Let's clean house.
Tip 1: Unclutter Your Environment
This is for those of us who let our personal spaces get... a little out of hand. We might let a few empty bottles pile up on the counter, a few dishes build up in the sink, a few odds and ends accrue on the desk, until things are officially messy. While we might do some cleaning here and there, it's more of a "shuffling" process, and it's usually pretty short-lived. If this sounds like you, I'd like you to try an experiment. If you tend to spend a lot of time in one place (your desk, let's say), take a good look at it. Now, close your eyes, and imagine it clean and organized. Imagine sitting at that desk, and how it might feel to spend time in this alternate reality. Is it nice? Did that give you a bit of motivation? Because this experiment isn't through until you've tidied up. As an act of good faith, I'll clean my desk right this instant.
Back. I'm not trying to brag, but I may have even dusted. Once you've tried this experiment, check in with yourself: does the space feel more inviting? Less chaotic? Do you think that you can maintain this level of organization? Crystallize this feeling of an organized desk, and refer back to it the next time things start getting out of control. Maybe apply it to how you might feel about cleaning that sink of dirty dishes...
Tip 2: Unclutter Your Mind
On a scale of 1-10, how often do you experience persistent, unwanted thoughts? Do you have difficulty banishing busy brain activity as you try to go to sleep? Do you sometimes slip out of the current conversation, tune out of the movie that you're watching, or otherwise miss out on a shared experience because your brain has gone to past events or to planning the future? This is called "rumination," and it is commonly found in those with high anxiety. Notice that I don't say that one causes the other; the direction of causation is hard to determine, and it is likely that they are reciprocal. If this is the case, then reducing rumination should help with stress, if not eliminate it entirely.
How to unclutter the mind? Start with a simple exercise. Next time you're walking outside, take a moment to enjoy the day. No planning for the future, no thinking about the day thus far; simply notice the sounds around you, the sights, and the feel of the ground beneath your feet. Your brain will wander, maybe in as few as 5 seconds, away from the present moment. If you catch yourself losing touch with the present moment, don't be angry with yourself. Indeed, this is the essence of the exercise. While beholding the current moment is important, stress-relieving, and enjoyable, noticing that you have reverted to automatic thinking is the key skill that this exercise develops. You now have a choice: return to the present moment, or continue with the alternative that your unconscious mind presented you. The more often that you work with this skill of mindfulness, the easier it will be to unclutter. To learn more, check out the book linked above.
Tip 3: Unclutter Your Life
This one isn't easy, but there is an easy guideline to get you started: If something needs to be done, and it can be accomplished in under two minutes, do it now. Seem simple? Maybe useless? Consider how easy it is to sweep these two-minute tasks aside and do them later. Think how they build up until they're 10 minute jobs (cleaning the desk) or 2 hour ordeals (organizing an office). Now, think about the conditioning that has gone into this: you have been giving yourself tiny rewards for years, every time you sweep these tasks aside (You: "I'll do it later." Your brain: "Doesn't that feel better?"). It's time to undo that conditioning by experiencing the rewards you get each time you accomplish a two-minute task. Much like mindfulness concept mentioned above, this is a skill. Once you get into the habit of doing these two-minute tasks as they become available, it will become easier and easier. The final component will be noticing the cumulative effects: are there any big jobs that you used to have to occasionally do that are now just done? This idea was taken from the book "Getting Things Done," linked above.
This is just the beginning, but I would like you to imagine how enlightening the effect of uncluttering can be. If there is a final straw that breaks the camel's back, what would it be like to remove a few straws here, a few straws there? Would the metaphorical camel's back eventually be unburdened? Be kind to yourselves, everyone.
Any more little ways to unclutter?
I've read about the two minute tasks before, but after a while I forgot. That's a great starting point and hopefully one I can stick to this time.
Oh my! i do seem to have a lot of uncluttering to do...starting with my desk. Voted up and useful!
Awesome tips and suggestions. About two years ago I started over and that entailed cleaning out house. I call it cleaning out house. Cleaning and organizing my living space and I'm still doing it but man, it's wonderful to come home to an organized clean space. Caught up on bills and changing car and home insurance to save money. My mind is so much more clearer than before. Yeah for me! I'm happier, less stressed and focus on tasks so much better than I have in past years. The best thing I ever did was to clean out house.
One of my biggest goals this year involves simplifying EVERYTHING- activities, possessions, and thoughts. It really is amazing how big a difference some simple clutter reduction can make. Excellent advice.

First, do I want Cutler to fail? No, but I do want him to change and become someone I respect as a player. If not, then yes, I will root for his opponents and hope he loses! No different from my take on Terrell Owens.

Good for you! There is a lot of information that may make it difficult to determine how to start. Listed below are some sensible tips that will help you see a rapid improvement in the quality of your shots.
Get as close to your subject as you need to. Taking a picture from close avoids any potential distractions in the background. It also allows facial expressions to really stand out, which can provide your pictures with a lot of emotion. The important thing to remember is that the small details that turn a good photo into a great one are easily missed when you are farther away from your subject.
Digital photography can be altered and manipulated in software to make them resemble traditional art forms. Adobe Photoshop is widely considered the industry standard for digital images, but there are numerous other companies with adequate programs. After choosing the medium you desire and hitting the filter button, you can instantly turn photographs into wonderful pieces of art.
Avoid capturing an overcast sky in your photos. Your pictures can appear dull and lifeless if they capture too much of a gray sky in the background. If you still want to take pictures of an overcast sky, try a black and white feature. However, if it is a cloudless day, feel free to include as much of the sky as you desire.
When selecting photographs to place on display or show to an audience, limit your choices to your very best images. Don't show every picture you've ever shot, and don't show too many photos with the same theme or subject. It can be very boring if people are looking at the same sort of image again and again. Keep things fresh by showing off a variety of your photography.
Try to enhance the sense of depth in your landscape photos. Put a person in the foreground to get the sense of scale of the surroundings. A small aperture, usually smaller than f/8 in many digital cameras and f/16 for SLR's, allows greater sharpness throughout the entire picture.
Explore your camera's built-in features, or experiment with odd angles and color palettes. You do not need an original object to take a high-quality picture. A good photographer should be able to make a picture of an unoriginal object look interesting, thanks to their skills and artistic talent. Experiment as much as you can, and find your own style.
Your arms should be near your body when holding the camera, and make sure your hands are on the sides and bottom. This keeps the camera steady and reduces the number of blurred shots you take. Keeping your hands under the lens and camera, instead of holding it at the top, will also help you avoid dropping the camera by accident.
Try taking photos of people. It is always encouraged to gain the permission of anyone appearing in your photographs. When traveling, looking at these pictures will remind you of particular memories, even if the people you photographed do not look like they would stand out from a crowd at the moment when you take your picture. When selecting people to photograph, always look for those dressed casually and sporting candid expressions.
Discrimination is a vital skill for a good photographer; when you are going to show off photos you've taken, present only your very best work. Don't show too many photos and vary the subject matter. Your audience can become bored with repetitive images or too many of them. Mix up your repertoire to keep your viewers engaged.
Memory Card
Here's a great photography tip! Shutter speeds can greatly improve your experience with photography. The shutter speed settings you will find on your camera are: P,M,A & S. Using the "P" setting will put your camera into program mode. In this fully automatic camera setting, your shutter speed and aperture are set for you automatically. Use this setting whenever you are unsure of what it is you will be photographing.
One of the key ways to take great photographs is to take lots and lots of them, so buy a large memory card that can hold them all. A larger memory card will allow you to take as many pictures as you need without worrying about running out of space on the card. Another advantage of a large memory card is you can shoot in RAW format, which allows the most flexibility during post-production.
When you are snapping pictures of people, you can blur the background a bit to get the best effect. A sharply focused background pulls attention from your subject, and that is not ideal. You want your viewer's eye to fall on the intended subject. This loss of focus is achievable by increasing the distance between the person and the background.
You need to find a healthy mix of shutter speed, ISO and aperture. The three features together determine the photograph's exposure. It is possible to use overexposed photos in some cases, but generally these should be avoided. If you try out the different features and how they work together you can find what works best for you!
The instant you leave your house when traveling, begin taking photos. Don't forget to take pictures of your journey, as it can provide images as memorable as the destination itself. Document your travel. For example, there are many interesting things about an airport that makes it perfect for picture taking.
When warming up to shoot a wedding, try catching some unexpected shots of small details like a bag of makeup sitting on a table or a close-up of a flower. You might also snap some amazing shots in the process.
Take photos of all the cool souvenirs you bought on your trip. Make separate photo albums for each trip you have photographed. Photographs showing you with your souvenir, or the place you purchased it, can place the objects in the context of your travels and remind you of the moment you made the purchase.
Confine yourself within certain limits, to breed creativity. For instance, tell yourself that you will only take pictures that revolve around a particular concept. You can improve your technique by taking many pictures from the same location. Having these limitations in place can make you be more creative and think outside of the box.
Take some notes as you are snapping photos. As your collection grows, it will become more and more difficult to remember the details, such as where and when you took a particular shot. Eventually, you may want to create a scrapbook and include some of the descriptive information along with the pictures.
Many people love to wear white when they are having their picture taken, but it's not recommended. Cameras have an auto-focus setting, which will attempt to read all the shades within the shot from the brightest to the darkest. This leaves white clothing looking too bright and washed out!
You need to find a suitable subject to photograph. The subject can make or break a photograph regardless of how technically advanced your equipment is, or how good your photography skills are. Choose things that are inspiring or look for someone who can be a model.
Quality Settings
Take the time to make anyone who models for you comfortable, and this is especially true if they are not familiar with you. Someone taking pictures can easily appear to pose a potential threat. Be courteous and friendly and make sure you ask permission before photographing. Let them know it is an art form and not because you want to invade their privacy.
Using the highest quality settings your camera allows gives you much better image quality if you plan to enlarge your photos. It also gives you more freedom to artistically crop the shot to focus on certain details. Only use these lower quality settings on your camera if you are sure that these images will only be viewed on a screen.
Reverting to using a film camera can allow you to take photos that give a retro impression. If this is what you want, you may find a good film camera at a garage sale or thrift store. For dramatic effect, choose black-and-white film with an ISO rating of 200, which will work in most situations. After your pictures have been developed you should have prints made on different types of paper, including those that are made of fiber.
It seems simple, but it's easy to lose focus on your subject when taking photos. Make sure your main focus is on keeping your subject as clear in the photo as possible. Your camera must be in focus at all times to ensure that you retain a well-composed image that reflects the true intentions of your shot. For beginners, your best photos will have the subject in the center and fully in view. Let your background be what it will be.
Experiment with varieties of expressions, scale and perspective. If a mundane subject is situated to make it appear out of place or out of proportion with its surroundings, the resulting picture will be especially intriguing. Develop your compositions in order to create a unique outlook on a common object.
Use a variety of shutter speeds to get unusual shots. People usually think that using a faster shutter speed is the best way to capture something going fast, but using something more slow, like 1/30 can be beneficial. Did you see the person riding a bike who was going past at a fast pace? This will make the bicyclist in clear focus, while the background is blurred horizontally, showing speed and motion.
Have you ever needed to take photos of subjects that were rained on? Try to create the effect of rain on your own by carrying a rain bottle with you.
Try keeping something interesting in the foreground of your landscape photos to add more appeal to the images. Items that you can use include a tree branch or a small rock. Your audience will have the impression of looking at the actual landscape, rather than a flat representation of it.
Feel free to try them out, without being too worried about them being perfect, so you do not miss out on a great shot. However, you should not preset your camera, which lets your camera choose the settings itself. Experiment with the different settings so that you can take control of what your picture looks like.
Before you begin shooting, you should decide on a concept for your photos. Take a minute to plan out your shot by analyzing lighting, the background, your focal point, colors, the subject matter and the overall composition you want to see. Taking good photographs is an artistic endeavor and the more successful pictures are those that show some planning. Approaching photography in this way can create motivation and inspiration that will enhance the final product.
Create a silhouette. A number of methods exist that can be used in silhouette creation, but a lot of photographers just use sunsets. If your background is brighter than your subject, you could see a silhouette. You can make a silhouette by creating a flash from outside of the frame or also by directing the subject to stand before a brightly lit window. You should be aware, however, that a silhouette could highlight a subject's most unflattering feature.
There are cases that you can purchase to protect your camera and lenses; this is a recommended purchase. Camera equipment can be delicate so you need to be sure to protect it with a high quality case. These kinds of cases can easily be found in electronics stores, or other stores that sell cameras.
Nearly any subject can look more interesting if you adjust your camera settings, shoot from an alternate angle or use different lighting. Experiment with these options before you take the picture you were planning so you can understand how these changes can affect your photo.
After reading the information provided, you should now have a better idea on how to go about improving your own photography skills. Refer back to this article whenever you need some new ideas. Don't give up. Persistence is the key to becoming a great photographer.
You need to understand how sharpness works when you are framing a shot. Generally, a camera's standard settings place the sharpest focus on subjects in the middle area of the frame. Then it will start distorting as it gets to the outer edges of your camera frame.
