Kolkata: Two days after issuing a 15-day deadline to the Centre on granting a three-year moratorium on the interest of the state`s debt, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said that it was actually an appeal to the union government, but the media played it out as a threat.
"It was an appeal that day and not a threat or warning, but the media distorted my statement by interpreting it as a threat as breaking news", Banerjee told reporters here.
"Media has a major role to play. It must refrain from sensationalising any issue which may even cause a riot", she said and urged the press to cooperate with her government and not to exaggerate or distort her statements.
The chief minister said that henceforth all her press conferences and statements would be kept on record to challenge media against distortion.
Referring to the disturbances in the Terai-Dooars region, Banerjee also sought cooperation of the media with its impartial and positive role.

Most favourite "Happy accident"
This is fast becoming one of my favourite pieces,
I love the cross and how detailed it looks just with the simple
overlapping of the same heart shaped elements, tiny seed pearls finish off each end and give it a more regal look.
idea of using different sized fresh water pearls happened quite by
mistake and its an idea I used in more than one piece.The pearls are
just as beautiful but seem less stuffy and haughty with size variation
and also not going all the way around the neck - the half chain adds to
a happier mix of modern day Vs old fashioned.

God at War: The Bible & Spiritual Conflict
The main thrust behind this book is that idea that creation is in chaos and that God set out to put things back in order. Whether you want to personify this chaos as the devil is touched on, but delved into deeper in Boyd's follow-up, Satan and The Problem of Evil (I believe, haven't gotten around to reading it yet). Boyd walks us through the Old Testament's warrior God imagery, a war which culminates at Calvary. Well argued and accessible, even though it is a scholarly work.

In an effort to help county residents better understand the concept of a "watershed" and better connect with their local water resources, the Office of Lakes and Watersheds has created an interactive online map.
This map has different layers that can be turned on or off (basins, subwatersheds, special water places, etc.), a search feature so people can find out what watershed they live in, and descriptions of the watersheds along with links to groups that are active in those areas.
If you have additional information, photos, or updated group information that you would like to contribute to this map, please let me know.
We have posted a link to this map on our Dane Waters Facebook page and encourage you to share it with your networks so that we can increase awareness of our watersheds!

So this film was the second film to carry the Orange sponsorship before films where the actors did a bit about phone advertising with the slogan don't let a mobile ruin your film in UK cinemas. I used it as timing to go to the toilet and so the joke with this film when I watched it was that I would need to go to the toilet all the time when i saw Jack Black. To be honest I would have been better going to the toilet several times during this film. So you have Jack Black taking on the titular role and doing what he normally does with the zany comedy that you either like or loathe.
I seem to loathe it, however I did not hate all of this film, there were some good performances by some good British actors including Catherine Tate, Billy Connolly and James Corden you also have good performances from Jason Segel, Emily Blunt, Amanda Peet and Chris O'Dowd. This is a kids film though and you get that from the jokes and the nature of what Jack gets up to. To be honest I did not really enjoy it and would not recommend it.
So only 1 star for me and even for the kids it is not worth the time.

Evaluating Student Performance and Attitudes in Response to Videotaped Self-Instruction.
Boker, John R.
This study evaluating an innovative technique for the education of medical students emphasized the measurement of 30 senior medical students' cognitive and affective behaviors in response to their experiences over a period of six weeks with videotaped self-instructional programs. An investigation was made of: (1) the students' gain in knowledge, (2) the extent to which this type of instruction did in fact enhance attitude changes toward specific content referents, and (3) the students' attitudes toward this particular method of instruction. On the basis of results obtained, it was concluded that the use of well-designed and validated videotaped self-instructional programs had produced desired instructional outcomes of a cognitive type and also comprised a generally acceptable method of instruction from the students' point of view. Further, it is observed that videotaped self-instructional programs can function as modest agents of attitude change, at least when measured on a short-term basis. References are provided.

I've been called many names in my 24 years of life. Big Bird, Baby D (from Next Friday), Husky, Fluffy, solid, big boned, thick and the F-bomb; Fat. My family had me on a meal plan made by a nutritionist. They celebrated my weight loss never knowing that my light was dimming in the wake of this new shiny image of what I was supposed to be. I'm not angry with them, no parent wants their child to face hardship or ridicule. They had to endure comments about my appearance from their family, friends, and peers. In the end they projected their insecurities about my weight onto me. This was problematic because every child needs to be told that they are beautiful, important, and intelligent or they'll seek affirmation elsewhere. I wasn't afforded the opportunity to form my own opinions about the way I looked. It felt like a contradiction to be told to change but also to be told I was good the way I was. But once you sand yourself down into these shapes or try to squeeze yourself into molds that you didn't create a habit of sorta forms. You are constantly striving, half heartedly, toward someone else's goals.
I can't expound on how vacant I felt. I couldn't treat others how they deserved to be treated because I couldn't tend to myself accordingly. But my healing happened gradually. I began to notice people who looked like me, who lived according to paradigms they had the power to build and destroy. Actress and comedienne, Monique always talked about being herself for herself. She was fat girl who decided to lose weight, which was her choice. Monique made it known that we decide who and what we want to be–we define our beauty. Tess Holliday was huge for me! She is so beautiful inside and out and handles adversity with so much grace. She is my size and is undeniably beautiful. The way she talked about loving yourself even while trying to be more healthy was so admirable. I had to admit that these women didn't allow society to shape their perception and their self-worth. They defined who they were for themselves, and admitted that their image was only a fraction of who they were as people.
I began to notice that my favorite things about myself were almost never external. I picture my self as an egg. My shell is only a portion of who I am as a person, but the whites are my purest self, and the yolk is made up of the good and bad and the distinctly human aspects of my soul. Sometimes society can trick us into thinking that we all have to be the same way to be attractive. Our souls are even more distinguished than fingerprints. when someone ignites something in your soul it leaves an imprint.
In the end esthetics can catch an eye, but our character, our intellect, and the way we approach people and situations is what maintains relationships. Whenever I refer to myself as fat, people present react with dismay. I'm not uncomfortable with the word fat because after years of being teased I realize that if use fat it removes the power and negativity it held over me. Owning what we are, the good and the bad, allows us to self soothe and mend our relationships with ourselves and others. It is important to be body positive because everyone has their own normal. We can't define anyone by a "normal" body type because we are always going to be different. Being body positive allows you to be comfortable and loved in the skin of your choosing. To be loved for who you are and not what you are is an amazing thing that we all deserve.

The Rainiers rode the bats of their three hot hitters and jumped out to a 7-2 lead in the fourth inning last night, and then held on for their dear lives and won in Salt Lake City, 7-6.
The win avoided a series sweep at the hand of the Bees, who are surging right now as they try to win the Pac-South division title.
This game was similar to so many the Rainiers have played in Salt Lake City over the years. Build a big early lead, with the lineup crushing extra base hits, and then see the Bees bullpen come in and quiet things down. Tacoma holds a big lead in the middle innings, and then here come the Bees… I don't think we've ever had an easy ninth inning in Salt Lake City. The Bees are relentless in their own park.
Last night it was Dan Altavilla entering the game with one out in the eighth, and the tying runners on base. He got out of that, but then allowed a run and loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom of the ninth before striking out Sherman Johnson to end it.
So we avoided the sweep! Now it is four games at home against defending PCL champion El Paso, which is chasing Salt Lake in the Pac-South standings.
Yesterday: Tacoma jumped out to a 7-2 lead in the fourth inning, led by the hot bats of Taylor Motter, Dan Vogelbach, and Gordon Beckham, and held on for a 7-6 win in Salt Lake City on Friday night. Dan Altavilla had to deal with some serious issues in the eighth and ninth innings and nailed down a very difficult save. Tacoma avoided being swept in the series, and opens a four-game homestand tonight.
Roster Moves: Yesterday the Rainiers sent reliever Ryne Harper to Double-A Arkansas. Apparently this is because they were short and needed a guy – not a merit-based demotion.
Today: El Paso (62-64) at Tacoma (62-64), 7:05.
Opponent Affiliation: San Diego Padres.
Season Series: El Paso leads, 7-5.
Starting Pitchers: LHP Dillon Overton (5-5, 7.44) at RHP Max Povse (1-2, 9.77).
DFA'd by the Mariners earlier this season, I think that Overton might be fired up for this start.
Hot Rainiers: Shawn O'Malley had his nine-game hitting streak end yesterday… Gordon Beckham has back-to-back games with four RBI… Taylor Motter has gone 14-for-21 with two homers and six RBI over his last five games… Dan Vogelbach has hit .343 with six homers and a .994 OPS since the all-star break.
Look Out For: Chase d'Arnaud has a seven-game hitting streak… outfielder Franchy Cordero leads the PCL with 15 triples, and he's hit three more in the big leagues this year… ex-Rainier Jabari Blash is here, and as you know he hits bombs. Don't let him get his arms extended!
Broadcast: The pregame show starts at 6:50 on South Sound Sports 850 AM. The broadcast also streams online via the TuneIn app – just click here.
PCL Scoreboard: Follow all Pacific Coast League games in real-time with links to Gameday screens right here.
- Salt Lake manager Keith Johnson was respectful of the Rainiers in defeat, as you can read in the Salt Lake Tribune's game story.
- Erasmo Ramirez was dealing against his former team and the Mariners coasted to a win at Tampa Bay. Nice start to a 12-game road trip! Three takeaways from the game.
PCL Game Reports:
- Defending PCL champion El Paso is very optimistic about winning the Pac-South after beating Albuquerque last night, 8-1.
- And we are tied again atop the Pac-North. Reno lost to Sacramento, 7-3, as Mac Williamson went 4-for-4 and drove in a pair.
- Fresno pulled into a tie with Reno by walking off Las Vegas, 3-2. Tony "you're blocking me, Jose Altuve" Kemp had the game-winning hit.
- Colorado Springs got back on track with a 7-3 win at Iowa. The game was tied 2-2 until the top of the eighth when the Sky Sox scored four runs.
- Oklahoma City fell seven games behind the Springs in the American-North when they got smoked at Omaha, 10-1.
- Round Rock's Nick Martinez snuffed out the Baby Cakes, 3-0 in New Orleans.
- Renato Nunez hit his PCL-leading 32nd home run in Nashville's 8-7 win at Memphis.

An Economic Evaluation of a Water-Based Urban Tourist Attraction in San Antonio, Texas
MetadataShow full item record
The importance of an economic study of the Paseo del Rio (a highly developed portion of the San Antonio River) has greatly increased with the proposal of many extensions, each of which will involve large investment. That developmental plan which has been in the forefront involves an extension of the Paseo del Rio, in the central business district, north to Brackenridge Park and south to the city limit. An economic study of the existing, developed area would determine the estimated impact of it on commercial enterprises, and produce information relative to the possible effects of future extensions and associated developments. The purpose of this study is to determine the economic effect of the Paseo del Rio on commercial enterprises and activities as it affects tourism and recreation in the central city. Based on the assumption that the economic effects of the developed river area arise from the expenditures of the users, and that beneficiaries are the businesses surrounding the area, three surveys have been conducted. One concerned users of the developed river area. It served to identify their socioeconomic characteristics and other relevant factors which might be important to their knowledge and use of the river. The second was a survey Of the businesses in the central business district to identify their economic characteristics, their relationship to the Paseo del Rio, and the proportions of gross receipts of these businesses attributable to the developed river area. A third survey served to identify characteristics of residents of San Antonio, their knowledge of the Paseo del Rio and their use of it for various purposes. Statistical analyses indicated that the income of the user, the size of the user group, and the distance traveled by the user were all positively associated with the level of his expenditures. The two user activities, shopping and eating, were associated with high levels of expenditures. Other user characteristics which resulted in high levels of expenditures were the purchase of food and recreational goods. The businesses in the river area were stratified according to distance from the Paseo del Rio to reduce variation. This stratification was extremely significant, with the proportion of gross receipts attributable to the developed river area decreasing as distance from the river increased. Businesses selling the goods and services of arts and crafts, entertainment and lodging attributed high proportions of their gross receipts to the Paseo del Rio. The types of customers which contributed large amounts of gross receipts to the area were tourists and local residents (businesses and households). The users of the area are not only tourists, but also San Antonio residents and persons from nearby cities. Thus, an extension of the Paseo del Rio would be significant not only to increased tourism but also to added recreational use of the river by the residents of the city. Reaction to the proposed extension was favorable both from the standpoint of the businesses in the surrounding area and from the users of the Paseo del Rio.

Sea Heather Cottage is the largest of the 3 weekly rentals available at Queen Anne's Cottages, an eco-friendly, pet friendly, mini-resort type property. Each of the 3 cottages have their own personality, privacy, wifi network, parking, recycling, and specific amenities.
Accommodating up to 8 adults (10 people if at least 2 are children under age 10), guests in Sea Heather have raved about the spacious tranquility and the magnificent, huge and beautiful view from the open floor living and kitchen area. The space is large and comfortable enough for several people to lounge and move around, but soothing and peaceful for even just 2 guests to enjoy.
The large second floor master bedroom has a king bed, an ocean view balcony, ornamental fireplace, en suite bathroom with a giant walk in shower, and a closet big enough to live in. The "cousins' loft" bedroom, (formerly a loft but now a private room with lots of light, space, and views of the woods, pool, and ocean) has 2 full size beds, each with a single trundle bed. This is commonly the kids' room, as it can accommodate 4-6 people. The first floor bedroom, perfect for singles or couples who have a tough time with stairs, is ultra comfortable with a queen size bed and reading chair. In each bedroom you will find: storage and closets for clothing and belongings; high quality bedding, extra bedding, pillows and blankets specifically labeled for each bed; fans; ample lighting for reading; a convenient place to plug in your devices; and most importantly, as sense that this has all been put together for you...because it has! While this is a great place to unplug, each bedroom has a TV equipped with cable, and our high speed wifi internet is fast enough for you to stream your favorite shows and movies on your tablet or laptop. Sea Heather's living, kitchen, and dining space is tastefully and thoughtfully furnished for ease and comfort. The sectional sofa is huge, soft and inviting, the smart tv is equipped with Queen Anne's Cottages Netflix account, the dining table is big enough for 8, and your kitchen prep time certainly won't be a chore. The kitchen is stocked and well organized with high quality cookware, recently updated appliances (including the all important dishwasher!), sharp knives, a french press AND a drip coffee maker, microwave, blender, toaster, slow cooker, and anything you would need for preparing and serving a home based lobster bake or even a Thanksgiving meal for 8! For grilling types, we've provided a large propane grill (with an extra tank and all necessary grill tools). Morning coffee, meals, and conversation can also be enjoyed outside on the deck, which accommodates up to 8 people dining. If you need to do laundry while you're here, there is a washer and dryer located just at the bottom of the stairs in the basement.
Though the setting of the property is at the end of a serene, well maintained dirt road, Queen Anne's Cottages is close to all that Mt. Desert Island has to offer, (5 minutes to Acadia National Park!) and is a short distance to downtown Bar Harbor (5 minutes beyond the National Park entrance.) For water activities, guests from all 3 cottages can enjoy the best of both worlds: the private beach, great for swimming, kayaking and exploring, is steps away...but when the Maine ocean proves too cold, there is a beautiful, solar heated, saltwater pool that kids and adults love (open Memorial Day through Labor Day.) At the end of the day, our oceanside fire pit area is a wonderful spot to enjoy our world renowned sunsets, roast marshmallows, and maybe meet a few of the other guests to exchange notes on your vacation happenings.

text: Hello, first post here. New to the board and VF4, just wanted to introduce myself ask a question and pass some info. First, I'm a VF veteran who hasn't touched a VF game since VF2. I was great with Wolf in VF 1 and 2, and won a couple local tournaments a few years back. I picked up VF4 and I now find I totally suck. In Kumite mode I'm stuck at 1st Kyu after beating on the game since yesterday using Shun. I love this game but I'm real rusty, so if I say anything assanine or ask any stupid questions while I'm here please forgive me. OK, I decided I absolutely must have an Arcade stick to play the game, and I was thinking about the Mas System stick because I like the American style Wico stick. I called my local importer and aked if he had any sticks and he tells me someone just traded in a VF4 stick. I assume it's a good stick, but I was just hoping to get some input from the guys here that use it. Is it worth 35 bucks slightly used (like new in original packaging)? Is the stick stiff? Is the stick area square or circular? Are the buttons responsive? Are the buttons flat, convex, or concave? Is it easy to modify should I want to swap out the spring, or swap out for a Wico stick? Is it heavy and sturdy (I don't want it sliding around the table)? Any input is appreciated. Finally, a word of advice should you be considering it. The Prima Guide for VF4 is a worthless piece of junk. Do not buy it. I was goaded into buying from an EB employee and it's the worst 15 bucks I ever spent. I didn't expect an in depth Gamest Mook but I was at least hoping it had some info about the items you can win. The thing is a glorified moves list.

A RALLYING call has been made for Caernarfon to "re-establish its sense of pride".
Last summer Gwynedd Council launched a pilot project called A Quality Environment, in Caernarfon, Blaenau Ffestiniog and south Lln with the aim of making physical improvements to the environment.
The work has included a blitz of the areas by cutting grass, collecting discarded needles and rubbish.
Now Cllr Ioan Thomas, mayor of Caernarfon, has organised an informal open meeting to discuss the project and ways in which everyone can get involved.
Cllr Thomas explained: "I felt that Caernarfon is our town and we must re-establish the sense of pride here.
"Gwynedd has earmarked an initiative called A Good Place to Live: A Quality Environment and designated three areas as pilot studies. The success of the pilot study is to be assessed this month.
"I have arranged an informal open meeting as I believe it is time for the people of the town to support this on a practical basis.
"It is now far too common for people to expect the local authority to do everything and complain when this work is not done.
"Of course there is a responsibility on authorities to carry out their statutory duty, but with future funding cuts there will be an increase in pressure for their finances.
"My hope is that the meeting will be positive, with an agreement on working together to improve the environment. It is certainly no attempt to create another committee to become a talking shop.
"It is action that is required to improve the town through Gwynedd Council, the town council, voluntary groups and individuals.
"If everyone had the same objective and were focused on success, anything is possible."
Some of the ideas raised include asking Morrisons and Tesco to both sponsor the roundabouts near their stores, and to praise owners who invest in their buildings.
He continued: "The money allocated to looking after the roundabouts could be put into looking after the environment of Caernarfon. It would release more money to make sure that the town centre has a quality environment for local people and visitors.
"There are buildings within the town centre that require alteration and we should continue to put pressure on Gwynedd Council to make the owners aware of any grant aid but we also need to congratulate and reward property owners who have been renovating buildings."
Cllr Thomas added: "A Gwynedd Council officer will update the meeting on the progress of the pilot and we have invited some members of the Blaenau Bendigedig group to talk and hopefully we can benefit from the experience.
"The meeting will be about looking forward to how we can all work together, not look back or look at failings in the past."
The meeting will be held on Monday, January 22 at 7pm in the council chambers at the Institute Building.

I've done my official list of the best classical and jazz recordings of 2015, and now here's my personal one—the records that as a non-critical listener I simply enjoyed the most. That's out of 600 or so new recordings I listened to in 2015. 600. Actually more …
There's an arbitrary, top-12 separation, one for each month of the year, and then forty more releases to follow, which all means that I'd be glad to listen to one of these, and nothing else, for an entire week.
Remember, if you order by clicking the links, you help support this site
Personal Best—One for Every Month
- Charenee Wade: Offering. I am mystified why this record got so little critical attention. This is Wade's tribute to Gil Scott-Heron, which she realizes through elegant, musical arrangements of his songs. This is affecting music with a terrific band (some of the names are Lonnie Plaxico, Dave Stryker, and Stefon Harris), perhaps the trouble with it is that no one expects Scott-Heron's songs to be so fine and so powerful without his inimitable delivery. Well, the songs are that good, and Wade's singing clothes their substantial force in loveliness.
- José James: Yesterday I Had the Blues. This record grew on me. What at first seemed to be polite, slightly rote renditions of songs Billie Holiday made famous revealed iteself gradually to be a record of depth and individuality. James voice is beautiful, and his expression is subtle and plangent. Then there are Jason Moran's scintillainting voicings underneath. A mesmerizing record that both comforts and abrades.
- Le Berger: Music for Guitar and Patience. A barely describable of long, quietly jangling pieces for guitar with sound processing. Free to some extent, but ordered around specific explorations of space and timbre. Completely transporting and effective.
- Hieroglyphic Being & J.I.T.U. Ahn-Sahm-Buhl: We Are Not The First. The antidote to The Epic. The strange thing for me is that after the exuberant structural and formal freedom of To Pimp a Butterfly and You're Dead, Kamasi Washington's album would be so aesthetically and musically staid and conservative. This recording, with contributions from Marshall Allen to Shelley Hirsch, is wild, exploratory, leaping off a platform of funk into the uncharted future of African American music. Further confirmation that Sun Ra's The Singles is the Rossetta Stone of American vernacular music.
- Fossil Aerosol Mining Project: The Day 1982 Contaminated 1971. No one can say who will be left to hear the voices we leave behind, but Fossil Aerosol Mining Project has, for many years now, been exploring the possible sounds of the future's past. Enveloping, both disturbing and comforting, it's exciting that this mysterious ensemble has returned to making new music.
- Pyramid: A Northern Meadow. My tastes in metal are admittedly specialized: I want a solid wall of deep sound and something other than thudding four-square drumming and cookie-monster style vocals. That's surprisingly difficult to find, but this superb record checks all the boxes, and does so much more.
- C. Duncan: Architect. One of the most sheerly beautiful pop records I have ever heard. Duncan's song-craft and production are excellent, and his musical phrasing and vocal timbre are gorgeous. You can get the CD or LP soon from Amazon, or get the digital now at Bandcamp.
- Kill West: Smoke Beach. Something like Pyramids, but different; psychadelic drone-rock from Brazil, with a darkly warm shoegazy sound, insinuating vocals, and a real groove on every track.
- Jon Mueller: A Magnetic Center. Experimentation that is impossible to pigeon-hole and is exciting. Mueller's record is made with nothing more than percussion and his own voice. He produces a multi-tracked glossolalia that, combined with the mesmerizing, repetitive beats, creates the feeling of an ancient ritual buried deep within the mind. Odd, abstract, and obsessive in the first few minutes, the experience becomes deep, stunning, and transformative.
- Alessandro Cortini: Risveglio. The development of cheap, powerful CPUs has produced a parallel development of powerful music and sound production software. Cortini, one of the most interesting contemporary electronic musicians, instead used what are now vintage pieces of hardware—the Roland 202 monophonic synthesizer/sequencer, and TB303 bass synthesizer/sequencer, combined with a delay. As with all great music, what is seemingly a limitation turns out to be a vast resource of imagination.
- Aine O'Dwyer: Music for Church Cleaners Vol. I and II. A series of serene and expressive organ improvisations, made after-hours in the presence of the women cleaning the churches. O'Dwyer's playing seeks its own statement while she also accepts the requests of her accidental audiences to not, for example, "stay on one note for a long time." The music is lovely on its own, and the atmosphere gives it a unique frisson of live performance.
- Brian Harnetty: Rawhead & Bloodybones. Not the usual archival release from Dust-to-Digital, but new music from composer Harnetty. He combines samples of music and spoken audio from both the Berea College Appalachian Sound Archives and the Sun Ra/El Saturn Creative Audio Archive, and to the prerecorded music he adds original, acoustic touches. This is a dialogue between past and present, memory and action, grisly, strange, and compelling.

Thursday, January 27, 2011
I can't even say I've been giving it my best. I did study. They kind of study that mostly consists of daydreaming and long coffee breaks. Call a friend, see how they're doing. Taking naps and waking up not knowing where you are or what day it is. That kind of studying. And still, it payed off... so far.
She tells me not to underestimate myself, that this is just a phase I'm supposed to get over as quickly as possible. I would love it if she was right. But I keep wondering, what if I would've gotten what I wanted? Things would be so different than they are now... but would I be happy? Would I be doing half of the things they expect me to do now? Would there be any sorts of rewards?
"It's a law: no matter how much you have, you keep wanting more." People usually have very annoying conversations on the public transport. Those are the moments in which I truly appreciate the value of an IPod. But today I overheard someone saying that. How sad is it that we're never satisfied with what we get? There's always something better (optimism?). But there's always something worse too (pessimism?).

The Brentwood, Tennessee native is currently ranked the No. 18 player in the world in the Scratch Players World Amateur Ranking.

I'm run down, I'm broken…
Today I got bit on my other arm by a member of the lately surly herd. I don't know what's getting into them, but I'm seriously tired of breaking up fights.
Today has been quiet. I sent a short email to MTIA and a friendly text to TLTL. I chose some songs to put on a mix cd for MTIA, and u thought about the mix tape TLTL never finished for me so many years ago. I worked on the painting I've decided to give to MTIA and then have tattooed on my back.
I hope that he will ask me to come see him at work on Tuesday or Wednesday night. But I will stay quiet, only speaking when spoken to. I may just leave the painting at his door some morning as a surprise.
I wish we lived in a world where gender and sexual identity didn't matter.
I worry that if MTIA and I ever decide to work through our fears that we will aid and abet each other's neuroses. Oh goody. That's how suicide pacts happen.
Ack. I just gave myself the willies.
Tomorrow, I'll work on the mix cd, hopefully finish the painting, record some music. And that is in addition to the regularly scheduled work day.
My brain is falling apart. I have to let go of some of my empathy. It's… too much. It just feels so Damn good to let go and ride the waves of others' emotions. It doesn't even always feel good, like now, but it's just so easy to let it happen.
It's funny, I spent my life trying to learn how to be sympathetic to people, and instead I ended up an empath. A useless one, too, since I can't control it. I seriously need some balance. No wonder I never know who I am.

LOTFA Second Quarter Progress Report 2016
LOTFA finances two projects, namely, the Support to Payroll Management (SPM) project which focuses on supporting Ministry of Interior Affairs (MOIA) payroll management and transition by December 2016; and the MOIA and Police Development (MPD) project, which focuses on developing national capacity for self-sustained reform and improvement of the MOIA as an institution, as well as police professionalization.
After completion of Phase I (July-December 2015), LOTFA has initiated implementation of Phase II (January-June 2016) for the hand-over of payroll management responsibilities from LOTFA SPM to the MOlA.
Progress on SPM targets for 02 2016 are considered to be "on-track." A senior technical the meeting was held on 23 May to review Phase I and Phase II progress.
During Q2, UNDP supported the MOIA in developing a proposal for introducing 125 mid-level technical civilians onto Tashkeel, using the CBR mechanism. This proposal was approved by donors on 20 May 201 6. The proposal includes 33 positions for the MOIA Payroll Unit.
The LOTFA Oversight sub-Committee continued with the implementation of its workplan in 2016, and held meetings on 4 May and 11 June 2016.
