Where do you think the U.S. ranks in terms of maternal and childhood care in the world? If you said number one, you would be wrong. By 30 spots actually. The Save the Children foundation released its 14th annual State of the World's Mothers Report and that global distinction goes to Finland, where mothers have greater overall health, education, and economic and political status.
The report ranks 176 countries in terms of maternal and infant health. This year, the U.S. lost five spots from last year's 25th-place ranking. Still, we are lucky compared to so many other mothers across the world.
The reality is that, while globally, the number of children dying has declined by more than half, we still have a long, long way to go before newborn infants aren't at risk for dying from preventable illnesses and mothers aren't in danger just because they have given birth. The report highlights so much progress and also so many places we still have to go. See below:
Global Maternal Health by the Numbers:
• 1: The day that is the most dangerous for women and newborns. Children have the greatest risk of dying on the day they are born.
• 7: Number of countries that score in the bottom 10 BOTH in maternal health outcomes and newborn health. These include: Central African Republic, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali, Sierra Leone, and Somalia; they score in the bottom 10 on both indices.
• 40: Percent more likely a poor newborn will die than a wealthier one, even in countries that score lower overall.
• 60: The percent of infant deaths that happen in the first six months.
• 75: The percent of newborn deaths that could be prevented with simple, preventative care.
• 98-99: Percent of newborn deaths that occur in developing countries where pregnant women and newborn babies lack access to basic health care services.
• 176: Number of countries indexed by Save the Children in their State of the World Mothers report.
• 800: The number of women who die every day in childbirth worldwide.
• 360,000: Number of newborns in India who would be saved if poorer children experienced the same survival rates as newborns from the richest Indian families.
• 423,000: Number of babies who die in South East Asia every year.
• 3 million: Number of newborn babies who die every year, almost 3/4 of which are from preventable diseases.
• 40 million: The number of women who give birth every year worldwide without the assistance of a trained professional.
As Melinda Gates says in the report:
Any report on the state of the world's mothers is by definition a report on the state of the world, full stop. Women and girls -- in many roles, including their role as mothers -- drive improvements in the human condition. When we invest in them, we invest in a powerful source of global development.
Mothers matter. We know this. It's very easy to ignore global poverty until it stares you in the face, stark as day. Those of us who take our health for granted and who expect the most from our healthcare system ought to be the most outraged. We have come so very far thanks to organizations like STC, but we still have so much more ground to cover.
Do these numbers surprise you?

Blog . Prisma 1666
11/15/11 | Posted by Keri Svoboda | Posted in Digital Creativity
Light is all around us. It fuels our ecosystem, keeps us warm, and makes the visual world possible through our eyes. Artists inspired by Isaac Newton's theory of the prism take the theory of light to a whole new level. By randomly placing glass Prisms on a white surface, the artists are able to project the iPad screen onto the white surface and control the light from their iPad. Combined with music, this simple idea becomes a trip into the human mind in my eyes. PRISMA 1666 - Interactive Installation from Wonwei on Vimeo. The original page

Harkers Island, NC. Superintendent Bob Vogel announces a focused effort at Cape Lookout National Seashore to inform visitors of concerns over the number of dogs that are observed off leash at the seashore, and the impact that dogs can have on the wildlife that rely on the seashore beaches for survival. Beginning this summer, seashore staff will intensify both education and enforcement of this important rule. Visitors not heeding the rule may leave the park with a court summons and a $150.00 fine.
Superintendent Vogel reports that seashore personnel regularly observe pets off leash; "this is likely one of the most common rule violations at the national seashore" he notes. While some do not know about the rule, many that are contacted are obviously aware of it, but fail to understand how their dogs can impact the wildlife of the seashore and other visitors.
While some visitors might think that the 56 miles of remote seashore is a perfect place to let their pets roam, doing so can seriously impact wildlife. This is because the seashore serves as the primary breeding habitat for many coastal and migrant bird species in North Carolina. Coastal birds nest on bare sandy beaches and it is often not apparent that birds are nesting nearby. Loose dogs can interrupt breeding behaviors, chase birds off of their nests and expose the nest to other predators. Once disturbed, birds may abandon nesting at that location altogether.
Most of the bird species are protected, and many are listed as threatened or endangered. For example, about two-thirds of all the Piping Plovers (an endangered species) in North Carolina nested at the seashore in 2005.
"Pristine beaches, great fishing and the persistent calls of wildlife are some of the experiences that have brought people to the seashore for generations," states Superintendent Vogel; "together with the public, it is our duty to protect these resources and experiences for the present and future visitors."

Book Talk: The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake8:30:00 PM
She is understandably confused by this new development in her life, and wants nothing more than for it to go away, particularly when she discovers that her mother is miserable and directionless after tasting a piece of her birthday cake. Rose, who starts off as a spunky young girl, quickly becomes sullen and withdrawn as a result of her "gift" and begins obsessing over everything she eats. That's pretty much it.
I was disappointed by the lack of development - both plot wise and character wise - and felt a little as though the author had come up with this great idea (a girl who can taste people's feelings!) but fell short when it came time to follow through. Several chapters in, Rose's issues are pushed to the side when she and her family must deal with the disappearance of her brilliant but mercurial older brother, whose story also lacks satisfying development or any sort of conclusion.
Are you ready for spoilers? Let's talk about the plot points of the novel. Rose spends her entire life isolated and miserable, and only begins to think about opening herself up and accepting who she is in the very last pages of the novel. She cannot ignore her ability, but she refuses to tell anyone or do anything about it, so she spends most of her time trying not to know the things that she shouldn't about the people in her life (like how her mother has been having an affair).
When she witnesses her brother's disappearance, she refuses to talk about the mysterious (supernatural?) circumstances surrounding it, and no one ever fully understands or discovers what happened to him. Rose believes that Joe was similarly gifted, although his gift meant that he turned into pieces of furniture. Yes, you read that correctly. There is absolutely no explanation for this bizarre plot point. And eventually, she and her parents are forced to move on with their lives in his absence.
As a result of his disappearance, Rose feels she cannot move out of her parents home, so she continues to live with them as an adult, aware of their splintering relationship and unable to do anything about it. She has a menial job filing papers and pretends to be just like everyone else. Finally, in the last pages of the book, she begins to reveal what she can do, to no one's excitement or interest. She discovers that her grandfather (and potentially her father as well) are similarly skilled, and that she's really not as much of a freak as she originally believed. She gets a job washing dishes in her favorite restaurant so she can "be around" her favorite food, made by a couple who truly love each other and what they do for a living.
The book ends with her putting the chair (that she believes is her brother) into her closet at the restaurant, and with me wondering why I spent the last several hours listening to this audiobook, of all things. I started out loving the book, but as things went on, I felt more and more disappointed, especially by the ending, which felt rushed and unfinshed. Maybe I need some time and space away from this book to fully understand it, because I'm kind of at a loss at this point. I really try not to be negative about authors and books, because I know how incredibly hard they work to get their writing into the world. Bender, I'm sure, put tireless work and energy and emotion into getting this story published. I respect both her and her work, and I recognize that there are people out there who have read and enjoyed this novel...I'm just not one of them.

A WEST Sussex County Council (WSCC) committee has debated a new highways and transport 'super hub' facility.
The county council's environmental and community services select committee has outlined £1.3m of cuts to its highways staffing budget, as well as selling off its highways depots at Broadbridge Heath and Midhurst to private developers.
WSCC plans to sell the highways depot in Midhurst, currently used for the storage of salt, to raise part of the funds needed for the construction of the 'super hub depot'.
A report said the super hub: "Will be the single biggest change in our transformational plan, but will allow us to realise huge benefits to staff, contractors, sub-contractors, other service areas and partners and, ultimately, our customers."
Although the location of the depot has not been revealed, it is set to be 'at a location with convenient main road access links to all parts of the county'.
The council intends for highway workers to be based in the areas in which they work, so the super hub would be for office-based staff and storage of materials.
It is also hoped to agree joint operations with Hampshire County Council, with hopes for winter operations in the northwest parts of the county to be delivered from the nearest depot – in Petersfield.
However, Labour councillors have condemned the cuts, claiming the cuts in staff will be the equivalent of reducing all highways employees by one fifth.
The depot at Broadbridge Heath, which serves as the office for highways issues in the northern part of the county including Crawley, Horsham and Mid Sussex, would be closed and land sold off to housing developers.
A Labour spokesman said: "The 'super depot' will not be built for at least two years, during which time those residents affected in the north of the county will have to put up with 'interim arrangements', where staff and equipment will either be based at the remaining far-flung depots, or the council claims the staff may be able to hotdesk if there are spaces at council offices."
Director of highways and transport, Geoff Mee, said the hub would provide significant capital revenue benefits across the county and provide 'cutting-edge flexibility'.
He added the aim was for a 'customer-focused structure' with a 'more visible presence in the county'.

Whether a soloist, a singing group or a band, the National Park Service is inviting everyone who likes to sing or play music to go "Caroling in the Park" during the month of December at the Arlington Lawn next to the thermal water cascade. "When the City and Downtown Association decided not to put up their trees on Arlington Lawn this year, we decided to try something new this holiday season," said Josie Fernandez," Superintendent of Hot Springs National Park. "The idea is for musicians to perform at any time of their choosing and bring holiday cheer to our most visited downtown green space," she said. Fernandez said there is a terrific wealth of talent in Hot Springs and the invitation is not limited to just the community but it is extended statewide. "Imagine what a greeting it will be when out of town visitors go downtown and are greeted to the sound of live music. "From barbershop quartets to church groups to high school bands, we have many people in our state who bring joy to our communities with their talents," she said. "Caroling in the Park" will provide them with a different and very visible venue for many more people to hear them perform." According to Fernandez, the music selection is for the individual or groups to decide. Performers need to provide their own equipment, if needed, and they must sign up to a master calendar that the National Park Service will maintain so no one is double-booked on a particular time or date. For more information and to sign up, call Karen Johnson at 501-620-6720.

Desperate to Retire? Don't.
A new article in the Journal of Financial Planning lays out the unpleasant reality facing baby boomers who really want to retire but can't afford it: working longer helps a lot.
In the article, David Blanchett, who heads the retirement research group for Morningstar's money management unit in Chicago, calculated the impact of delaying one's retirement date and found that it can sharply improve a retiree's odds of financial success.
"There is not one silver bullet for success but if there were it would be delaying retirement," he said in an interview.
The same case has been made for years by the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, which supports this blog. Working beyond age 62, when individuals are first eligible to receive Social Security benefits, helps in three important ways: …Learn More

Schizophrenia tends to run in families, according to WebMD. Only 1 percent of the total population has schizophrenia, but the occurrence rate is 10 percent for people who have a first-degree relative with the disorder. An identical twin has a 40 to 65 percent risk of developing the disorder.
Numerous genes are believed to be associated with a heightened chance of developing schizophrenia, and people with the disorder seem to have an elevated number of rare genetic mutations, according to WebMD. Scientists are not yet able to predict schizophrenia in certain people using genetic research.
Schizophrenia symptoms typically start appearing in men in their early- to mid-20s and in the late 20s in women, according to Mayo Clinic. Some symptoms may include hallucinations, delusions, disordered thinking and behavior and an overall decreased ability to function and display emotion normally.

Supreme Pizza Recipe
- Prep. Time:
- Cooking Time:
- Total Time:
- Yield: 4 servings
- 1 pre-baked pizza crust
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 ounces Italian turkey sausage link
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- ¾ cup marinara sauce
- 5 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly shredded
First, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat on the stove top. Add the sausage to the pan, cooking about 2 minutes and stirring to crumble it. Then, add the mushrooms, peppers, onions and garlic to the pan. Saute it all for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Spread the marinara or pasta sauce on the pizza crust, leaving a 1/4" border all around it. Toss the cheese on top and spread it so it covers the sauce evenly. Add the sausage-veggie mixture on top of the cheese.
Put it in the oven and bake it for 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and become slightly golden. Enjoy your fresh Supreme pizza and as they say in Italy, buon appetito!
We all know and love pizza. But have you ever tried a Supreme pizza? The main toppings of a Supreme pizza include onions, Italian sausage, green peppers, and mushrooms (although you can get a vegetarian Supreme pizza, too). It's worth a try if you haven't had one yet. It really is the most flavorful pizza you can get.
What we know of as pizza came from Italy in the late 1880s. It started as a crust topped with tomatoes, basil and fresh mozzarella (red, green, and white being the colors of the Italian flag). People who are serious about pizza believe that there are really only two types of pizza: pizza marinara (a cheeseless pizza with tomatoes, garlic, oregano, and olive oil) and pizza margherita (which is the original type described above).
But the rest of us know the wide variety of pizzas available out there nowadays! In the US alone, you've got the popular Chicago-style and New York-style. Let's not even get started on deep dish, thin crust, grilled, wood-fired and much much more! Now getting back to the Supreme pizza.
In fact, the longest pizza delivery ever was of a vegetarian Supreme pizza. Lucy Clough of Domino's pizza chain holds that record. She took the pizza 10,532.2 miles (16,950 km) from London to Melbourne, Australia in 2004. Can you imagine the delivery charge on that?
You don't have to order a Supreme pizza; you can make it in your own home whenever you want. Using a few ingredients that you probably already have and a few that you'd have to get, you can use this delicious recipe to make your very own Supreme pizza (you can even customize the toppings!).
More about your specialty pizza...
Although everyone loves traditional pepperoni as a topping, it can be fun to spice up your pizza using unusual and unexpected ingredients. It is obviously an incredibly versatile food, so you have plenty of freedom to choose your toppings, cheese, and sauce. The great thing about it is that it is easy to tailor it to the needs of your guests.
Meat lovers will love a barbecue chicken pie with cheddar cheese instead of the traditional mozzarella. For a unique vegetarian pie, try adding zucchini, eggplant, roasted red peppers, feta cheese, and olive oil. Or you could even try a dessert themed pizza, using a cinnamon glaze for the sauce and topped with apples and pears.
We strive to bring you the best recipes, no matter what kind of unique toppings you choose. We hope that you enjoy all of the recipes that you find on this site and that you will continue to visit pizzamenu.com for all of your pizza making needs.

My front yard is dreary! It is deep, full of tall loblolly pines and patches where the grass refuses to grow. Add into the mix, my split rail fence has started to rot and the posts have tipped, causing the rails to fall to the ground. What's a gal to do? I want the house to look softer. I need some work on my fence. I want a cottage garden in my front yard!
I thought about painting my red brick house a soft cottage yellow. Well, that won't happen. Not in my budget.
Maybe I could replace the split rail with a white picket fence. Oh, how I want a cottage look. But my yard it too large and a white fence would look silly with my late forties/early fifties brick ranch, sitting oh so far back from the street.
Then the magic word appeared: hydrangeas!
It was not my word, but the word of a landscape professional working across the street. I always ask for free advice.
"Mulch in the area where the grass doesn't grow and fill it with hydrangea bushes."
Suddenly I can see my ranch become the cottage I long for. Now I am dreaming of hydrangeas and wondering how soon can I make my dream come true!
Could this be me?
Perhaps I could hide the split rail fence entirely!
I could give garden parties on my front lawn!
It doesn't matter. I am dreaming of hydrangeas. And now my dreams are expanding. Perhaps a cottage by the sea..... It is fun to dream a lovely dream!

Dear Democrats
A letter to the people of the United States of America who self-identify as democrat from an independent citizen of the United States of America
Dear Democrats,
In considering your loud cries of racism yet again, I was, yet again, looking at the precinct voting map for the election of 2016 trying to see the error of my ways and why I was an evil white racist, bigot, homophobe — and I finally saw it. I finally saw your terror. At this point, I apologize for not being sensitive to your cries in the past. I now see your terror. It is self-inflicted to be sure. But it is most definitely there and it is most definitely terror.
Of course you are terrorized by the non-stop cries of racism by any and all associated with the Democrat party. Any who refuse to chant along are ostracized, called all sorts of names and sometimes beaten. The media continues to spend all of its time digging up scant evidence of racism and focusing their laser beams on the few sociopaths they uncover. George Soros is contributing to the surge in employment statistics by paying protesters hourly wages if not enough racists can be found for any given demonstration. Then there is the mind-controlling, mind-numbing 24/7 replays of a horrific act of murder and terror. And 24/7 replays of a group of marching and chanting idiots just dying for their airtime on primetime TV. The media repeats over and over and over and over again that these white supremacists exist in vast numbers as evidenced by Donald Trump's election — that he is one and the 64 million people who voted for him are part of the plot to return the nation to white supremacy and enslave millions of black people. Of course you are terrorized. How could you not be?
It is a terrifying image if you are a black American. I can see it clearly now. Again, my apologies for the lateness of my understanding. The image that you see when you turn on your television is one of your impending doom. The imagery is broadcast in your face 24/7. This is why you require constant reassurance from anyone who will admit they voted for Donald Trump. After all, there must be a few good people left in the world. You've had lots of white friends for your entire life. We just need to give you daily reassurance that we have not morphed into racist biggots who want to string you up because of the color of your skin.
But no matter that your personal experience may not bear witness to a violent take-over of the nation by fascists. No matter if your own experiences of racism are not born out by your experiences with other humans in your sphere, there are others who have told you they were discriminated against. Others tell you that statues and park decorations are offensive. You must stand up for their violated rights. It matters not that statistically racism exist and the entire country, including Republicans, continually agrees that racism exists, still you must hear Republicans repeat their agreement over and over. And of course you must deny they said it or be ostracized from the Democrat party for not chiming in on cue. Or you must say they didn't mean it and discredit their character. Or perhaps you are instructed to claim that they didn't say it fast enough and so you can deny they actually said it. This is what is required to be a Democrat so you comply. You are not coerced. You believe this agenda to the bottom of your heart. I have compassion for you.
I see clearly now that the democrat party truly is dying of this hysteria and I have compassion for you. The hysteria is a life-threatening disease for the party. In fact, it appears that the democratic party is in its last death throws, flailing about for just one more breath before expiration. In your mind, the democratic party is being crushed by the Republicans and the country is systematically being taken over by evil white supremacists. More people have jobs now that at any time in the last 10 years. The economy is predicted to grow at 3.7% next quarter. More and more people are happy and feel secure in their lives. In fact, the Republican take-over is nearly complete. It's horrific you say. It's got to be terrifying for anyone who identifies as a black American Democrat to see that map. Surely you are all about to be lynched.
Just take a look at the map above. It tells the story of the huge amount of racist white Republicans that currently reside in the country. They are racist because they voted for Trump. There are conflicting reports, but whether it was the oft-reported and sometimes debunked 3,084 out of 3,141 counties or the AP verified 2,626 out of 3,113 counties, Donald Trump won in a landslide. The precinct map shows an even more dramatic contrast.
All the polls said Hillary would win. Everyone said so. All media outlets said so. Scandle after scandle after scandel and subsequent poll after poll after poll indicated Trump was an ignorant buffoon, a womanizer and a liar. Hillary was a shoe-in. On November 8, 2016, the day of the election, the NY Times poll indicated Hillary had an 85% chance of winning. Those racist Trump supporters didn't have a chance in hell of taking over the country.
It would seem that, out of the blue, on November 8, 2016, much of the country inexplicably jumped off the democrat party's bridge to utopia into the Republican river of racism, thereby committing suicide. Why would they do this? Why is the Democrat party dissolving and devolving into a gross, single-celled "you're a racist" amoeba? Why are Americans in record numbers turning into racist, bigoted, mysogynists? How did this happen and no one saw it coming?
What Happened?
Well, actually many of us did see it coming. Here is what we saw and why we did what we did. We saw the democrats enslaving millions of people in their inner-city plantations. We saw the democrats ruthlessly take away the self-respect of many, many Americans. We saw the democrats dehumanize many of our poor black, white and hispanic Americans by giving them hand-outs as if they were just some beggars in the street, too ignorant and unskilled to earn their own way. We saw the Democratic party systematically enslave much of our citizenry with their promises of better wages and decent jobs while refusing to allow them to choose the best education for their children. We saw them promise freedom and then only provide the shackle of a handout rather than the promised hand up.
In the past 8 years, the democrat party has lost over 1,000 seats in state and federal legislatures. They have lost governorship after governorship until the current count stands with 34 Republican governors and only 15 Democrat governors. "What is happening? How can this be? How can the people of the US of A be voting so backward," say the Hollywood elite and the equally elite and supposedly highly-educated university crowd? The media keeps telling any who will listen that the democrats have the moral high ground. The media keeps giving their viewership tons and tons of polling information that indicates everyone hates Trump and everyone loves anyone who is a democrat. This is the view of the majority of Americans according to their polls. Why are the people ignoring all of the rigorous, scientific polls telling them how to vote if they want to be part of the "in" crowd? How can it be that they lose and lose and lose? All of America is on board with the Democrat agenda right? If you're not, then you are a racist, bigot, homophobe — oh and Islamophobe. You don't want us to call you names, right? So you will go along with us on this, right?
The Trump Train
On the morning of November 9, 2016, the absurd phenomena that Donald Trump stood strong against the onslaught of insults and negative hatred from the media and won was a complete shock to anyone not on the Trump Train. The media was especially shocked – but not awed. While thinking they were very smart and politically savvy, and while thinking they knew the country better than anyone else, the media live-streamed their head-on collision with the Trump Train and the resulting lethal wounds to their agenda. The media put on public display their complete lack of awareness of the people of the United States of America. They misjudged the moral health and power of the people of the United States of America. They were sure they were too big to fail.
The media and Democratic elite were so wrong and so mortally wounded that they had to reflexively rewrite the story to make any sense out of it. The morally corrupt white supremacists won so they must have had illegitimate help. After all, this kind of deception has worked for the Democrats for years. Why should they not think the other side as corrupt as themselves.
Within 24 hours the media first responders rushed in with Russia collusion defibrillation paddles to get at least a few hearts going again. Others quickly replaced the bandages on the wounds to the party created by electronic devices being beaten with hammers. They started racist / homophobe / islamaphobe IV fluids. The media used 24/7 mouth-to-mouth resuscitation of one narrative after another to try and bring life back to the mortally wounded party — but to no avail. The Trump train just keeps on keeping on. The media still continues to donate an endless supply of racist blood keeping the party line going. But . . . It's not working. It's not working. Houston we have a problem. Danger Will Robinson. Danger Will Robinson. Warning – Warning. Statues. Park decorations. Must destroy. Must destroy. Must destroy, must destroy, must des . . . , mus . . . BEEEEEEEEEEP. On no, we're dead.
How could there possibly be so many white supremacists? Where did they all come from? And how did they manage to make that racist Trump king of America right in front of our eyes? Cognitive dissonance. It's impossible. It's impossible. It's impossible.
The Death of Racism
The cries of racism and the practice of racism will die as the most racist party in the history of our country dies a horrible screaming death. You can thank a Republican or Independent for that. You can thank the Trump Train for the beginning of the elimination of racism and bigotry.
You can thank those racist white Republicans for freeing blacks from Democrat slave owners in 1865.
You can thank those racist white Republicans for freeing blacks from the slavery of Democrat initiated Jim Crow laws in 1965.
And while it may take the Republican party and the collective hearts of the those standing for freedom until 2065 to completely free the blacks from the Democrat slavery of government dependence, rest assured my fellow Americans, we will free you.
We will restore your right to dignity, personal responsibility and, most of all, self-ownership. That is true freedom. That is what the United States of America stands for yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Awakening from Mass Hysteria
I say again, I hear you. Lots of us wrongfully accused white supremacists hear you. We really are listening. Well, some don't for sure. There are assholes everywhere. But many, many, many of us hear you. We are listening. We are agreeing with you that racism exists. We are now and ever have been hearing you. We hear that you don't hear us agreeing with you. Your hysteria is preventing you from hearing that we hear you and agreeing with you. We have already said it many times. At this point we do not think it serves your cause for us to keep repeating that we hear you only for you to continue telling us we are not saying it. So here's what we are going to do to try and ease your hysteria.
We hear the narrative and perpetuation of racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. as democrats and their enslaved hoards continue with their lasts gasping breaths to divide up the country into blacks, Hispanics, gays, lesbians, cisgenders, wymen, transgenders, Muslims, Jews, Christians. We, that are labeled "the evil white people" hear you loud and clear. We hear your cries of racism after you divided the country into various groups, each with their own identity that was to be treated differently because of race, gender, ethnicity and so on. You were subsequently exploited by your Democrat politician. We see and we hear. And, being the humanitarians that we are, we have already responded to your cries for relief from your self-imposed "let's divide everybody into groups" racist misery. Over the past 8 years, we have responded to your cries for freedom. Just look at the map to see how well we have responded to your need for our assistance in regaining your freedom once again. We will show you the way.
How We Responded
We decided as a nation that we will no longer tolerate the racism being perpetuated by the Democratic party. We will no longer tolerate Democrats subjugating and enslaving the poor. We will no longer tolerate criminality from any Democrat (more to come on that from our DOJ) and we will no longer tolerate illegal criminals and their activities within our borders. We, the Republican and Independent voters of America, will no longer tolerate interference with our daily lives, with our families and loved ones by self-serving politicians. We will no longer tolerate desecration of our country and the freedom it represents to the world.
You can have your paid protests and paid provocateurs and be offended by statues and park decorations. You are free Americans. You can even move them all to museums. However, I caution against that as it will be a very boring museum to which no one gives much attention. I mean, how many old lawn statues of the same dead general can one person enjoy? Perhaps you should just grind them to dust. Perhaps we could use the rock for building roads. Anyway, take down the landscape decorations and scenery. Redecorate the parks as you see fit. We look forward to seeing your ideas and creative genius on display. Children will be pleased that to have parks to play in and the decorations will be new and modern.
Meanwhile, our agenda will focus on freeing the poor Americans currently enslaved on the Democratic plantations of the inner cities. We will work to make sure they have jobs so they can support themselves with dignity. We will make sure they have education and instruction in how to be entrepreneurs and business owners and tradespersons. Some will become doctors and lawyers and scientists. All will be able to live in decent housing bought and paid for by themselves as citizens who are now prosperous. Those new homeowners who were formerly living in slave quarters called projects will revel in their emancipation.
We will make sure the children have access to whatever education their parents decide they want for their offspring. How cruel it is for Democrats to keep their slaves in ignorance with substandard schools. Let the substandard schools fail. Let creative and high quality schools spring up in their place. Perhaps they will even be managed by newly educated young adults from that very neighborhood.
We hear you and we are responding in the best way we know how. We will overthrow the elite bubble of slavery currently operating in places like San Francisco, Seattle, New York and LA. Places where the income gap is the widest and poverty and homelessness most profound. These few slaveholding strongholds still exist and we will work to eradicate their filthy practice of making millions while those who serve their needs live in primitive conditions. The cities with the greatest gap between the "haves" and "have nots" beware. Where we find these places still in the hands of and being plundered by Democrats we will come. Baltimore, Ferguson, Chicago, you are on notice. We will turn your cities into red Republican voting blocks so that the citizens can be freed from your tyranny.
The map is already mostly red, but there are still very large pockets of poverty and they exist in the blue areas. We must free these people. The citizens of these metropolitan cities have paid the price for their devotion to democrat schemes to keep them poor and contained on welfare plantations. We must free them.
Yes Democrats, you currently have your constituents scared out of their wits with sensationalism around horrific but isolated events and 24/7 coverage and enhancement of a few hundred wannabe-famous white supremacists and Nazis and other small-minded idiots looking for any attention they can get. You make sure they get that attention so they can attract others who also want media attention. You have much of the black population convinced that the country is going rogue and has evil plans for them. I hear them. I hear their cries for freedom from your racism and bigotry. We mean to free them. We have already won the ideological war and will free our people one by one if necessary.
We will

Title Museums as Agents of Social Change
DescriptionHow can we — as museum professionals, civic leaders, visitors, and the broader public — radically expand the work of museums as agents of social change?How can we more fiercely recognize and expand the meaningful work that museums are doing to respond to the issues affecting our communities locally and globally?
Museums everywhere have the potential to serve as agents of change—bringing people together, contributing to local communities, and having a positive impact on people's lives. Given our current moment of political polarization, highly-contested social debates, and widespread global efforts to confront oppression, now is the time to proactively shape a new future.
Speaker Mike Murawski, PhD. is Director of Education & Public Programs for the Portland Art Museum, and Founding Editor of ArtMuseumTeaching.com. He is passionate about how we can come to see museums as transformative spaces for social change and how we can take full advantage of the powerful types of learning, dialogue, public participation, and community engagement that museums can offer. He most recently presented as the MuseumNext Conference on the topic "Houselessness – A Museum Responds."

Anti Counterfeit of Electronics Phase 3
If you are interested in participating in this project:
Members - Go to the "Subscribe Here" section to the right and select the "Subscribe to space" key.
Non Members - Go to the "Contact" section to the right and select the "Contact project facilitator" key.
Idea Information
Counterfeit activities continue to expand and pose increased risk on all levels of the Supply Chain. From counterfeit military components to counterfeit medical devices and all levels between, counterfeits threaten all phases of life as we know it.
Phase 3 of the HDPug Anti-counterfeit of Electronics Project proposes to investigate future screening practices for evaluation of Anti-counterfeit technologies and protocols to use at various nodes of the Supply Chain.
In Phase 1 of the Anti-counterfeit of Electronics Project, the High Density Packaging User Group created a protocol for information to travel down (and up) the Supply Chain for authentication of components. In Phase 2, the team examined and contrasted the new and emerging technologies capable of moving this information along the Supply Chain.
Project Focus Areas:
· Anti-counterfeit of Electronics Phase 3 will be the most challenging of the phases as the team will need to enlist several nodes of the electronics Supply Chain to investigate future screening practices for evaluation of technologies and protocols for use at various nodes of the Supply Chain.
Definition Information
Benefits of Project:
· Participation in Anti-counterfeit of Electronics Phase 3 will give suppliers at each level of the Supply Chain the opportunity to test multiple approaches to the traceability issue and determine which technology works best for their products at each node in the Supply Chain.

I love the idea of personalised bags and stockings for Christmas presents, I think they are a lovely way to present gifts, if truth be known I think presentation is as important as the gift itself. That's just me though. In the past year I started making bags/ sack for pressies.So far I made bags for my daughter and hubby and this year I'm making one for my son and his girlfriend.
Here are the ones I've made so far
The above bag is a simple canvas/cotton carrier type bag onto which I applied felt cut out shapes and very simple embroidery. I also added some bead work to the flower centres.
This bag/sack has a draw string and is made of printed and soft velveteen type fabric and lined with cream cotton. This was a very simple bag to make but I think the end result is quite lush.

Gomez-Perez v. Potter
Gomez-Perez v. Potter, 553 U.S. 474 (2008), is a US labor law case of the United States Supreme Court holding that federal employees can assert claims for retaliation resulting from filing an age discrimination complaint. The case continued the Court's long-standing position that cause for action following retaliation can be inferred in civil rights legislation, even though the law does not explicitly provide protection against victimization.
|Gomez-Perez v. Potter
|Argued February 19, 2008
Decided May 27, 2008
|Full case name
|Myrna Gomez-Perez, Petitioner v. John E. Potter, Postmaster General
|Docket nos.
|553 U.S. 474 (more)
128 S. Ct. 1931; 170 L. Ed. 2d 887
|Oral argument
|Federal employees who face retaliation after filing an age discrimination claim are authorized to sue under the federal-sector provision of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967.
|Court membership
|Case opinions
|Alito, joined by Stevens, Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg, Breyer

|Thomas, joined by Scalia
|Laws applied
|Federal-sector provision of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), as added, 88 Stat. 74, and amended, 29 U. S. C. §633a(a) (2000 ed., Supp. V
The case is important because it signaled a willingness by recently appointed Justice Samuel Alito to continue the Court's expansive interpretation of civil rights laws.
Myrna Gómez-Pérez worked for the United States Postal Service as a part-time window distribution clerk in Puerto Rico. Ms. Gómez-Pérez sought a transfer to a full-time position; however, her supervisor denied her request. Ms. Gómez-Pérez alleged that the supervisor denied the request based on her age and filed an EEO complaint on the basis of age discrimination. Subsequently Ms. Gómez-Pérez alleged that, as a result of filing her complaint, in retaliation she was subjected to a series of reprisals that included groundless charges of sexual harassment, substantial reductions in her hours, and being harassed and mocked by her co-workers. As a result, she filed a retaliation complaint.
Opinion of the CourtEdit
The Supreme Court held that federal employees can assert claims for retaliation resulting from filing an age discrimination complaint.
Even though it is not explicitly in the Civil Rights Act, the existence of the right can be inferred from the Act's scheme, as necessary to make the rights effective.

Get updates from Catholic and Enjoying It! delivered straight to your inbox
lays out boocoo opportunities to do works of mercy.
And then, there's works of Mercy that don't cost money:
To pray sincerely for someone who has grieved, annoyed, or upset you.
Instead of losing it with an out-of-line youngster, to swoop him or her up, to sit down with him on the couch and to say in quiet but firm tones, "my child, we need to talk . . ." and then talk calmly about what just happened.
To an annoying colleague or underling, to smile, and to thank them appreciatively for some service even though that's their job anyway.
When both you and spouse are very tired, to jump up and hit the kitchen, the trash, the kiddos, allowing him or her to catch 15 mins of rest.
To let someone with out-of-state tags merge into your lane that you've been waiting in for 10 minutes.
To visit an elderly relative who doesn't get out much, and to spend 15 minutes listening to them recite their aches and pains. To say over and over, "I'm sorry to hear it. I hope you're feeling better soon." Fifteen minutes and then hug hug kiss kiss great to see you we'll have to do this again real soon, and bob's you're uncle, you're out of there.
To listen patiently.
To forgive.
To welcome.
To acknowledge.
To give way.
To pray.

This is actually the third time I've changed it....and I've only been blogging for two months. I know. I'm REALLY indecisive. Seriouly. Its a problem. The first one was really boring and I had it when I was just getting the hang of blogging, so there wasn't much too it.
The SECOND one I liked but it wasn't really me. So I changed it again. AND I LOVE IT!
Gotta love Friends.
Yep! I was this happy when I finished it. It's so me. Dark. But not too dark. With just the right mix of pink, purple and black (with a little white and gray mixed in). Actually, I was inspired by the theme of my own bedroom.
Anyway, this probably doesn't matter to you. But I just wanted you guys to be aware how much I change mind-If or when I change the design of my blog again. But at the moment I am RIDICULOUSLY happy with the way it is now. :)
Tell what YOU guys think about it in the comments section!

Indian Journey Part VI: The Indian Head Wobble
June 29, 2010 in India, Travel by pacejmiller
Before I visited India I had always thought the Indian head wobble was a myth. A humorous stereotype. But it's so NOT!
I was shocked to find that just about every second person in India performed the head wobble at any given opportunity. Hotel receptionists. Taxi drivers. Auto rickshaw drivers. Shop assistants. People attending the wedding. They do it when giving thanks or receiving thanks. They do it when talking or silent. They do it in response to another wobble. But what does it mean? It's not really a nod, nor is it a shake. All I know is that it is insanely infectious and I have been doing it non-stop (much to the annoyance of everyone around me).
Thanks to the Internets, I found this article explaining what the Indian head wobble is. In short, it is a multi-purpose body gesture usable for anything from "yes," "good", to "I understand", but it may mean different things in different regions and the length of the wobble is also relevant. What a complex art!
And now, for no reason other than there being an Indian head wobble in it (at around the 0:23-0:30 mark), here is a video of Seinfeld product placements.

The Seaford Ladies Nine Hole Golf Association recently held a "Pretty In Pink" cancer fundraiser which included a dinner and fashion show with live, silent and Chinese auctions, and a golf tournament.
Proceeds totaled just over $17,300 and were donated to Nanticoke Cancer Care Services to help with the renovation and expansion of Nanticoke's infusion center. This project will expand the number of infusion chairs available while continuing to improve upon the patient centered healing environment that already exists in the center. The expanded treatment area will also include aesthetic updates as well as give attention to improving the ability of staff to work more efficiently with patients.
In addition to the administration of chemotherapy, other treatments provided at the center include long-term antibiotics, blood transfusions, electrolyte replacement therapy, hydration therapy, iron infusion therapy, and Reclast infusion for osteoporosis patients and others at risk for fractures.
Nanticoke Cancer Care Services is affiliated with the Tunnell Cancer Center and provides comprehensive medical and radiation oncology services in Western Sussex County. The affiliation also allows for expanded support services for patients and families, and provides access to clinical trials in Seaford.

My dear Partner,
My name is Mr. Jerry Coldswaet. Am sure that my letter will come to you by surprise because we have not met before, but I want you to understand that it takes only a day to know some one either physically or by correspondence. I got your email contact through my personal search through the internet and then I decided to contact you for us to execute a financial transaction that requires trust and confidentiality, which shall benefit you and I at the end. There is a fund inheritance of my client in deposit with a Trusted Financial Institute before he was involved in a plane crash, which took lives of several number of people. This incident took place on the 6th day of December 1997 a huge transport plane, AN124 "Ruslan," crashed into the residential section of Irkutsk.
Now I want you to stand as the next of kin to my late client as I have a very right as his Legal Adviser to will this inheritance to any foreigner as I or anyone related to me cannot claim it as the rightful beneficiary, the funds in question is over $65,000,000.00 (Sixty Five Million United State Dollars Only).

What are my training options?
Commercial Courses is the term we have used on this site to group together paid for courses. They are also referred to as Professional Courses, Industry Courses, Work-Based Learning Courses or just by the course name that you'll know in your particular industry.
Many training companies that offer Apprenticeships also offer Commercial Courses. They can range from one-day Health and Safety updates to Extended Diplomas in Management that could be three years on a part-time basis.
They cover a variety of levels; could be online, evenings or weekends to fit around your job – and are the go to option for people in work that want to take the next step on the career ladder, retrain in a new profession or meet particular legal requirements in your sector – like having a member of staff that is qualified to deliver First Aid.
Is there any money available to pay for these courses?
There is very rarely money available to assist in paying for Commercial Courses, but these courses can be worth their weight in gold. Paying for training is not something that should be sniffed at; there are thousands upon thousands of examples of companies and individuals turning businesses around thanks to learning new skills or ways of thinking.
If you are an individual that's 24 years of age or older, some commercial courses will qualify for 24+ Advanced Learning Loans. Even if a course doesn't qualify, some training companies will allow you to pay for a course in stages, so talk to the training company you choose about payment options.
Which Awarding Body?
For many commercial courses there is often a range of awarding bodies that seem to offer similar courses. If you need to undertake a course for legal requirements, always check with the training provider who the awarding body is and that it matches the requirements you must meet.
Professional Bodies offer accredit courses too – for example AAT accredit Accountancy courses, CIM accredit Marketing courses, and so on. If you're looking to move up the career ladder there is often an industry standard qualification you are expected to have – so make sure you're studying a course accreditted by an awarding body that other employers will recognise should you change companies.
Search for training
To search for training in a particular industry sector, go to our members' page and filter your requirements. If you can't find what you're looking for from our membership base or just want advice on training – fill in our contact form and we'll happily point you in the right direction!

It's Monday, What Are You Reading is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey!
Hi, guys. I'm back. I wanted to first thank all of you for your kind words on my last post/twitter/real life. I felt kind of silly posting about my cat, but his passing really freaked me out. Like I wasn't prepared for it at all, and it shook up all of my plans. Thank you for being so kind and understanding!
I fell a little behind in reading this past week. I had Sweetland out from the library like 5 days overdue, oops. And my ARC reading schedule is all out of whack. BUT I'm catching up. And it was a great weekend, otherwise! My boyfriend came to visit me, which was the best thing that could have happened while I was in this state of distress.
Oh, and the boss who I read Gilead with? Well, I thought our 2 person book club was a bust, because we both hated the book. And he's a grumpy fellow. But the other day he told me he ordered two copies of our next book club read!! I'm super honored even though I want a say in it. He did make a point of choosing a female author. He really cares. We'll be reading The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers! Pumped.
This week I read:
- Sweetland by Michael Crummey - Oh wow. Oh my. This one really did punch me right in the gut. At first I didn't think it would get to me so much. The ending was just amazing. I ugly cried. I ugly cried and it felt so good.
Currently Reading:
Yes, finally getting to this one now that it's due back at the library in two days! I'm really enjoying the weird fantastical elements in The Sasquatch Hunter's Almanac so far. The characters all seem really well realized and I'm interested in the format of following a character by jumping to different years in his life, often with large gaps that aren't really filled in. I'm only 60 pages in at this point, but I'm totally in!
I've read two chapters of this now (finally!) and I'm definitely intrigued. Pretty dark, startling introduction. I don't know why all of the books I've been reading have been about dudes in the woods, though. After Soil, I have to mix it up a bit. Well, after Soil I'll do a girl in the woods and THEN I'll mix it up.

With this release you'll see some changes to the way phoo is storing your rc file. Configs are now stored in ~/.curphoo-<ver>. You will also notice a change in the logging methods. I got really tired of having to reopen a tail of a log file after starting / stopping phoo. Logfiles are now done via a single file per day. Please take some time and enjoy the new features.
/exclude # excludes users from autoignore, ignores, regex
/unregex # allows for username regexing (python regex)
The Status bar now reflects values in RE:(regexes) UN: (user regex) EX: excludes and a nifty Ver: <version> tag.
Next versions will include a debug feature to allow debug output to window while chatting in addition an ability to sync your regex ignores w/ a server version.
Curphoo Development Team
Curphoo now does /excludes
This will allow for you to set "excluded users" in your curphoo. This will exclude users from being ignored by autoignore as well as your regex ignores.
Well I've decided to get back invovled and have just released a new version. In this version I've added /UIDREGEX. With this you'll now be able to regex ignore usernames. Have fun.

Turkey Day Update
We had twelve people here for Thanksgiving dinner and somehow managed not to get a picture of the spread or most of the weekend's festivities. But my was it fun. A mini-college reunion plus some family and a stray student made for a wonderful time. Our spread included turkey, leg of lamb, stuffing, gravy, twice-baked sweet potatoes, green beans, creamed spinach, challah, whoopie pies, chocolate pecan pie, and pumpkin pie. On Saturday we decided to forgo the traditional leftovers and instead feasted on California roll, sam gyup, sal, kim chee, rice, and some unbelievably delicious Korean yogurt drink. There was lots of staying up late, catching up, playing games, laughing, and having a really great time. Hope yours was as wonderful!

yum! will you explain to me what a whoopie pie is and how to make it?
- December 02, 2008 9:44 PM
See, I was right. Gourmet. Did you make all the Korean stuff? And who was in on the college reunion?

@Kel Bel--A whoopie pie is essentially a dense chocolate-y cake with frosting in the middle, but much more wonderful than it sounds. Remind me and I'll send you the recipe.
@Kingwell--Anna made the Korean stuff, not me. The college reunion consisted of Rose-Hulman alums.

Whole Foods sells their own whoopie pies in the bakery section. The filling is so rich it's almost disgusting!

How to approach a sales tax audit
As state governments continue to deal with budget shortfalls, revenue agencies continue stepping up their efforts in raising revenue through sales tax audits. States have increased the size of their audit staff and are employing new technologies in their discovery efforts. Auto dealerships are not immune to selection and should know what to expect and how to prepare for an audit.
The first step in preparing for an audit is determining where and when the audit will be conducted. Audit notifications may indicate the date on which the auditor would like to begin examining purchase and sales records. If your records are in an off-site location or your day-to-day responsibilities do not allow for the extra time necessary to compile and organize your records, it is acceptable to propose a future date to the auditor. Do not allow a "surprise" audit. Also, if the audit is to be on-site, be sure to secure a location for the auditor to work away from business operations.
The second step in your preparations should be a self-review of records and procedures. A self-review should include the following:
- Be sure your records include exemption certificates for any tax-exempt sales like sales of vehicle inventory to other dealerships. Begin requesting any missing certificates as soon as possible.
- Review your sales records to determine if tax is properly collected on sales that are not exempt. Items used in auto repair that are purchased exempt should be detailed and taxed on the customer's invoice. Are you collecting sales tax on items like towing and car washes if they are taxable in your state?
- Assess your procedures for accounting for use tax on purchases. For example, are you self-assessing use tax on repair parts used internally? Do you make taxable purchases online from out of state vendors that do not charge your state's tax? Your review should include purchases of tangible property as well as services like lawn care and intangibles like software.
- Review sales tax returns filed during the audit period. Supporting documents should be available. Also, compare total sales on the sales tax returns to your federal income tax return. If they do not match, be prepared to explain why.
- Identify any areas where you have overpaid sales or use tax. If you have paid tax on nontaxable transactions, your state may allow you to request a refund in conjunction with the audit. This reduces any assessed tax and also interest and penalties on that amount. Common areas to look for refunds are in parts that you paid tax on but resold to a customer or tax paid on purchases from a contractor that qualify as nontaxable real property improvements. You should let the auditor know upfront that you have identified these purchases and intend to claim a refund.
Lastly, be ready to play defense. Do not assume all questioned sales and purchases are taxable. Familiarize yourself with your states regulations in the dealership area and if you feel a questioned item should not be assessed, challenge it. Also, understand any sampling techniques employed by the auditor and be sure samples used are representative of your operations. If you have not experienced a sales tax audit before, are unfamiliar with your state's regulations, or you have identified significant problem areas in your self-review, you may want to consider engaging a tax advisor to assist in your defense.
