Sample Rate question
at 4:39 PM EDT on June 29, 2018
So I'm looking at some of the video game soundtracks I've found and ripped to FLAC and notice that they're all in 48khz sample rate, which is obviously not correct and pointless bloat in the file. I'm aware playing from the actual chip file is MUCH more efficient, but I have a large library and need metadata/playlist management, etc. I'd like to resample them or go through and reconvert them using the proper sample rate, but was wondering, what's the easiest way to determine the proper sample rate for a song?
I know the SNES, for example, used a 32khz chip, but from what I understand, not all songs necessarily used that high of quality. If I ripped them all to 32khz, that would be fine, but would I be able to find out what their actual output sample rate is and theoretically rip it lower, to be more accurate and efficient?
Also, I have less knowledge on the output sample rate of 64, Genesis, and GameCube games.
I'm aware this is most likely a pretty large issue that's probably been discussed before. I used the search on the forums here, but was unable to find any factual discussion, mostly being people's debates between interpolation methods and other preferences.
If someone could provide me guidance or a link to an appropriate thread here, that would be fantastic! I have experience with the file formats and converting, but not with ripping the files myself. Though for the purpose of accurate representation, I'd most definitely be willing to learn.

The files you ripped might be resampled themselves. Do they sound better or worse than what they should be? The best way to determine the "true" sampling rate of a song is using a frequency graph in something like Adobe Audition.
Original SNES resampled everything to 32khz if it wasn't already. Say you had a sample that was 16khz and another sample that was 12.025khz. Both would be upsampled to 32khz. I think theres some games that used higher than 32khz but I'm not 100% sure. Also upsampling can make a pretty decent difference in terms of sound quality should you use a plug-in like snesamp.
64 games are typically sequenced and usually have samples that are 32khz (i have seen games that are 22.05 and ~44.1 however). Genesis games are FM so sampling rate isn't something thats a big deal (sans the sampling channel which is low quality anyway). GameCube stuff is mostly streamed though there are some sequenced games (Gamecube bios, Mario Sunshine) and games that use a combination of sequences and streams (Mario Kart). These again ate typically 32khz (though there are games that are 44.1 and 48khz).

Yeah, for GameCube I only have 5 games I'm looking into; fortunately, most GameCube games have some sort of official soundtrack release.
If I import it into foobar using the plugin, with the Sample Rate displayed there already be changed upon import? If so, is there a way to display a sample rate before importing?
I have a variety of programs for analyzing music files, but is there any program that analyzes music while still in its sequenced format?
I'm pretty sure SNES games were all 32k, but I was wondering if there *were* in fact any that were higher.
EDIT: Wait, if a game, say, only had an output of 22.5k and foobar imported it as 32k and I exported the FLAC like that, would I be able to tell that in the spectograph data of the 32k FLAC (aka a mirroring effect, or others)?
Likewise for the 64, I'm just trying to figure out how to tell which ones are the 32k's and which are the 44k's.
My current roster is 5 GameCube games, 10 64 games, 1 Genesis game, and about 25 SNES games.

If you want to know what quality the samples themselves are, just rip the samples themselves and check. You can't really tell anything from a sequence itself since you can arbitrarily resample a sequence from its component samples and achieve different results even if none of the individual samples are as sampled at as high a rate as the overall sample rate.
at 11:35 PM EDT on July 2, 2018
VGMStream always outputs at the exact sample rate of the original audio, because it only ever has to output PCM data.
foo_gep will always output the rate you request in configuration, which defaults to 44100Hz, unless you are playing SPC or SFM files, in which case it will output 32000Hz. For most formats other than VGM, it is recommended to simply configure it to the highest rate you're likely to hear improvement from, and best to stick to 44100Hz, and only go lower if you think you really need to.
For VGM formats, the sample rate can't really be the "native" rate of a given chip, since a lot of VGM files involve two or more chips, and none of them really agree on the same sample rate. My VGM library uses a sinc resampler, with precision and quality enough for the 16 bit output resolution that the plugin produces. There really is no point to trying to output native rates there, unless you really want to mix all the tracks by hand, and even then, you'll be at the mercy of whatever resampler your track mixer uses.

From Dirt to Diamonds
12:00 am 3 November 2012
Well that's a couple of hours I'm not going to see again. It's not that this was awful, just that it wasn't very good. BTW - the feather light plot is discussed, if you don;t want to know, look away now. Thea Dautry is a famous model on the verge of an engagement to a Viscount in waiting. She is about to have everything she's always wanted, stability, security and family. But it's hardly a love match. She then comes across a blast from the past when business magnate Angelos Petrakos turns up and recognises her from an incident 5 years ago, when Thea wasn't Thea, but was Kat. Kat was the child of a junkie and prostitute who was taken into care and didn't exactly come out of the system with any prospects in front of her. She discovers that her mother's mother was an alcoholic & prostitute and, to her credit, she decided that history is not going to repeat itself to the third generation. She swears off drink, drugs & sex and starts to work her way up from the bottom. She aims to become a model, and manages to get herself on some agency books and gets called to a casting for a yacht shoot - for the company of Angelos Petrakos. She gets the job, then looses it as Angelos has decided he'll have an affair with her, and he doesn't mix business with pleasure. She goes to plead for the job, he mistakes the intention, all gets very messy and not a bit unbelievable. Result, he destroys Kat's life. Like you do.Fast forward 5 years & Kat's reinvented herself, has got over the ruination of her life and is now Thea. Still a model, but now a very highly paid one (and no-one's seemed to notice Thea bears a startling resemblance to Kat, that's never explained either). She has money of her own and is now craving security and some people to call family. Hence the plan to marry a Viscount - what with him having family going back generations. But Angelos decides that he knows best and that she can't be allowed to lie to the inoffensive Giles, and she's got to call it off. Like he's an expert on relationships.Kat could have made a very interesting story, if she'd been allowed to inhabit any other kind of novel, but in the world of the romance the only thing of interest is how she's feeling. She's not sure how she's feeling, so that makes for a book written rather in emotions that must not be named. Also in rather short sentences. Felt a bit like being hit by the rose bush rather than being showered in rose petals. I found it annoying how there would almost be one paragraph from his point of view, then one from hers, and they were all terribly ambiguous. I thought he was not terribly attractive - no matter how often his broad shoulders were described they didn't do a lot for me. I also found him arrogant beyond belief; he's sure any woman would go weak at the knees at the idea of being his mate (NOT!). I'm sure we all compartmentalise life, but he seemed to have this to the nth degree. I'm not quite sure I believed the enemy to lover thing either. I'm not quite sure why he had such a strong resentment against her - unless it was for turning him down - in which case he needs to get over himself. She had, to my mind, a far stronger reason for hating him - someone destroying everything you've ever tried to achieve doesn't happen in ~ 10 days, which can be all the time that elapsed here, I'm sure. It wasn't really my type of read - I only picked it up to satisfy a challenge to read books with gemstones in the title. The characters were rather 2 dimensional, the story I'd have wanted to read was, to this book, irrelevant and glossed over. Either write a novel to set fire to the sheets, or one to sear the soul - this certainly managed neither. The writing was a bit on the weak side, very short sentence structure, or tailing off into ellipses with unfinished thoughts. And people thinking in italics - where did that idea come from? I can imagine my Granny reading this and being slightly shocked and mildly thrilled - takes a bit more to impress me.

When the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) existed, it included Russia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Georgia, Tajikistan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. When the USSR collapsed in 1991, each individual republic became it's own country with varying degrees of loyalty to Russia, formerly the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) which held the greatest power over it's neighbors.
Some countries, such as Belarus, maintain strong support for the Russian Federation. Ukraine maintains relatively good (If not frequently strained) relations with Russia, although the popular opinion in Russia towards Ukraine in mostly negative. The country was offered membership to NATO, which the Ukrainians have made clear will not happen but caused Russia to became hostile towards both NATO and Ukraine.
Others nations, such as Georgia, view Russia as a threat to it's independence. This became obvious during the recent War in South Ossetia in 2008, when Russia fought Georgian forces in the regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Georgia, which had troops deployed in Iraq with the Coalition had to recall them to combat Russian forces.
This fear of Russian intervention in other countries' affairs in the region is what caused Lithuania and Estonia to join NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) after achieving independence. This, in turn, has caused tensions to rise between NATO and Russia.
To maintain it's strength in the region and relations with it's allies, Russia founded the Commonwealth of Independent States on December 8th, 1991. Membership to the CIS is available to all former USSR nations, though other countries may apply to join. Current members include Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
The goals of the CIS include trade between members through means such as coordinating taxes,currency, etc. and assisting in matters such as humanitarian aide and joint security. The Collective Security Treaty Organization, or CSTO, was founded on October 7th, 2002 by Russia, Tajikistan, Armenia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan. The CSTO is technically a part of the CIS, and has aims towards counter-terrorism (A problem Russia in particular is affected by) and preventing crime that crosses the borders between member countries.
Although the CIS is regarded as an attempt by Russia to maintain allies with it's former members of the Communist bloc, the CIS is largely an economic and political organization that has so far not become the second version of the Warsaw Pact as it was envisioned it would be. Examples of unified action being taken by all members of the CIS and the CSTO remain to be seen, but with the economic crisis in Europe, it's difficult to predict whether the organizations will break apart or become stronger and eventually challenge the European Union or NATO.

The Democrats Problem with Obama's New Deal
*(continued) Make no mistake about it as discontent grows there will be a correction just as there was after the great depression which ushered in several decades of progressive power including the New Deal policies that benefit working people to this day.
Is this really the correction the Democrats are championing? Do you really think that President Obama is offering the American people anything that reeks of a new Deal? FDR put people to work, Obama has lowered unemployment by discouraged workers dropping out of the labor force; FDR built and re-build the national infrastructure; the Obama Stimulus couldn't find any shovel ready jobs (which Obama later admitted never existed to begin with). And while the President wants universal healthcare, all that has happened is millions of cancelled heathcare policies and new policies that have less coverage and are more expensive. And then there is promise about keeping your health-plan and /or doctor if you like both or either; funny, I don't remember FDR lying to the American people when he was championing the New Deal.

This historic, 444-mile scenic parkway links Natchez with Nashville and crosses some of the most beautiful terrain in the states of Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee. The Parkway has been declared a National Scenic Byway and an All-American Road and has been chosen as one of America's 10 best biking roads.
Open year-round for motorists, hikers and bikers, it provides visitors the opportunity for an unhurried trip through time. Maintained and administered by the National Park Service , the Parkway is headquartered in Tupelo, Mississippi.
It began as a trail traveled by Indians and wild animals almost 8,000 years ago and in our recent history was used by Spanish explorers, British troops and later by Southern frontier settlers. During the eras of French, British and American settlement, the Parkway provided an important route between the interior highlands and the Lower Mississippi River Valley. With the arrival of the steamboat, the Parkway declined in importance as a major trade route and became a route for use by locals. The Natchez Trace Parkway was created by Congress in 1938 and today is one of the most used Federal roads in the National Park System. The route attracts visitors from across the United States, Canada and Europe. Its non-commercial environment coupled with a wide variety of historic sites and scenic venues make it one of America's treasures.

In the wake of the official release of total amount collected for the Nairobi Derby from the gate collections alone- It's a sad state of affairs as it's clear the greatest derby in the Capital would only attract slightly a figure below the 8000 mark. While it's on this same forum that I wrote about the hype not being really felt by the masses, it's not just the Nairobi Derby alone, several fixtures this season have seen a sharp decline in numbers.
While pitch side analysts, football bloggers and writers, sports administrators just to mention a few may want to depict the football league in Kenya as having attracted back fans to the stands- it's only right to note even the few who were attracted earlier might be getting lost by the day.
If football is described as a religion, Clubs as churches and the beliefs and way of operations as doctrines then trust me- our clubs aren't doing justice to the religion of football.
It should be known; most football clubs in this league didn't start the other day and have been around for a while now. While times have changed and much more taken place over time, our clubs need to strike a balance between satisfying the hard-core support while attracting a much younger audience it has fast lost to TV.
Let's not forget- most football clubs are still semi-professionally run, but even to those who might boast of a proper structure of doing things, much more still needs to be done. While grants given by the league body at the beginning of the league may excite a few- the demands of the game have far much risen over time and secondary sources of income form the financial base of most clubs.
The quickest route out of this financial hullabaloo for any club would thus be the fan base it attracts. In a case where the clubs has slightly less than two hundred fans watching it's home matches, secondary income in the name of match day collections, supporters trusts initiatives or even sponsorship money- financial doom ruins the day.
Clubs thus need to sell the product to the people. What's the product, where do you sell it, whom do you sell it to, how do you sell it?
I'm not a marketer myself but in my economics class I learnt that the ability to sell several units of a good/service for a lower price (small margin of profit) but will attract more buyers than selling fewer units of a good at a higher price (more margin of profit) but fewer buyers. The same would perfectly work with footballing crowds.
Match Day Tickets
While some Gor Mahia officials would claim that the ksh 500 gate entrance fee was targeted at maximising profits for the Derby day- it should be noted that several constraints hindered the realisation of this vision.
With 40,000 match day tickets printed- a few hours (probably 6) to have them sold and the distance of the stadium from the city centre- 500 shillings per ticket would have roughly brought the club around 20M(100%), 16M(80%) and even 12M (60%) none of which would be a bad figure.
But now look at it on the contrary- should the tickets have gone for around ksh300 or even ksh 250- it would mean those who were able to afford the ksh 500 attend and then those who of course are used to paying Ksh200/ksh 300 for match day tickets attend too.
The simple mathematics above thus point out to the fact that since the clubs in Kenya are yet to have a solid hard-core support, the best way to have them come to the stadium in droves is to have an affordable rate of ticket pricing. While then the fan-base builds, the prices can then move slightly higher but cautioning the need to keep the hard-core group as you attract new fans.
Connecting the Product to the fans
While this might borrow heavily from the economics above- the product the club sells to the fans matter a great deal. Every single football fan, claimed or unclaimed, loves to be associated with success.
Success on the pitch is the surest way of attracting more support to your side as more and more people will want to get associated with the brand and its way of play. This calls for lots of investment in the teams, proper structures and an on field and off-filed experience.
While financial prudence may more than often take prudence over improving the team it should be noted, it's not just a business- the 90 minutes needs to be an experience that spills over to the other days of the week, it should then turn into a lifestyle for the fan.
Perfect case example again (Using the Derby) would be what the public perceived of the game. A few days to match day, most of us expected chaos at the event, rowdy fans battling police and even referees being chased all over the place- but as seen that wasn't the case. The clubs (knowingly or unknowingly) have sold the idea to the public that at times it gets ugly and especially for such matches. On the contrary, TV right holders, without having to necessarily say it- have sold the product to the fans that no matter where you are, you can catch the game on your mobile device or the comfort of your sitting room.
See the conflict? As a fan then, why would I not sit at a bar, buy a few drinks at Ksh 100/200 and enjoy the game without fear of flying stones over my head or get my mobile device and stream the game as I visit the car wash.
At the stadium, with no fans it would be an empty environment. At the stadium with a dormant stadium big screen it would be no excitement if I missed the goal replay and had to wipe my seat all on my own. At the stadium it would be no excitement if I constantly lived in fear that if the referee makes a blunder, I might never be able to get into my car and drive home.
So many questions unanswered, so much more to be done and even further- so many seats need to get filled beside you on every match day. While we might talk all day and night, the safest way at the end of the day is how best (the product) is packaged to the fans and always seeking ways to surpass excellence.

Welcome to Maui Island Coffee
Pictured is our shop and espresso bar in historic Lahaina, Maui. Please stop in share some aloha spirit with us when on Maui. We're located in the Wharf Cinema Center, across from the Banyan Tree.

Our mission is simple: to provide our customers with the best Hawaiian coffees for a reasonable price. All of our Hawaiian coffee is purchased from small estate farms proven to produce exceptional coffee. The coffee is then roasted daily, to exacting specifications, in small batches so that it is always fresh and of consistent quality.
Hawaiian agricultural regulations require that all of the islands' coffees be certified as to their origin, and graded by quality. The Kona coffee is tagged at the farm, certifying it to be 100% genuine Kona Coffee. The coffees are graded according to bean size, quality,appearance, density and moisture content. In order of quality, the grades are: Extra Fancy, Fancy, Ones, Prime, and Threes. Only the best and largest beans receive the top quality ratings of "Extra Fancy" and "Fancy". At Maui Island Coffee, we use only these top two grades of Kona coffee beans in order to bring you a superior cup of coffee.
We also offer the Kona peaberry, where a single bean is found inside the coffee cherry, rather than the usual two split beans. Peaberry represents less than 5% of the entire Kona crop; thus is very rare. The peaberry presents the body and flavor of the Kona coffee with a greater intensity than can be found in the regular bean. The peaberry is also locally rumored to imbue longer life and fertility... who knows?

Dear Ladies,
Quick query for anyone who has recently been pursuing intercountry adoption...I am 42, husband is 41- we have had multiple IVF failures & are exploring adoption.
Just want to know is anyone aware of the cut-off age for Adoption? I would really appreciate it- I dont want to start the process if there is no hope of getting a child...we have had many disappointments in past couple of years & dont want to set ourselves up for further heartbreak...
Dear Marie- thats amazing that you have twin girls...they are probably adorable!I did have a 5 day transfer on both occasions...we used donor sperm/egg...they also transferred 2 embryos...am due to do another cycle in July - am just hoping we will be lucky next time...
Thanks a mill to all the other posters re adoption advice/age etc...will defo take that on board...we wont be able to do much at the moment as we are still doing treatments & we cant get our Clinic to do med forms for the adoption as we are still "doing business" with them if ye get my drift!!!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Joanne xx
Hi, Joanne, I have twin girls. Did you have day 5 transfer before? as I am sure that makes a difference. Also I was told it increased my chances, having two embryos implanted.x
Gillian40 I'm delighted to hear that you got a Declaration aged 50 (was this an extension or a new one?). I personally know 3 couples with applications already in their chosen country and close to a referral whose declarations were due to expire (they had been extended twice) and the A** refused to renew them because one or both of the couple were over 50 - in 2 cases the wives were in their early 40's and their husbands were fitter and healthier than many in their 30's. As you can imagine this was heartbreaking for 2 of the couples in particular who were hoping to adopt their first and probably only child as they obviously could not continue with the process despite having been in the system for 7 plus years. It wasn't their fault that the waiting time to be assessed and matched etc. was so long and effectively aged them out, not by their country of choice I hasten to add as 2 of the 3 couples were actually matched with children and those matches had to be cancelled. I would hate for any other couple to endure what they went through so I feel compelled to advise couples who are heading into their late 40's and considering going the adoption route.
Gillian that is so encouraging to hear! Thanks so much for letting us know. I am 42 and am cautiously optimistic of getting one declaration but felt we were definitley cutting it fine. It's fantastic to hear that the 'max age of 45' guideline is just that, a guideline. Do you mind me asking you how long ago it was that you went through the process? Thanks.
Just to say that we have two adopted children & I got my last declaration at 50!!
Rookie-thanks for the tip- I got all the forms from Tusla...they are looking for reports etc from my Clinic here- I cant have them completed as I need them to do pre-cycle scans/procedures so I want to keep them on board...we are due to do a further IVF cycle in Summer so cant do much about it for the moment...also they are starting another adoption training in Sept so we may apply then- am not too excited about it as my understanding is you could be years waiting for a child...
Mum2anna- I know your right re IVF treatment impacting on adoption...have a cycle happening over the Summer so cant do much until I see how that goes...starting another adoption in September so might look at that...I'd say by the time our applicationis processed we may have skipped the boat...I am 42, husband 41 so I'd say we will not be eligible...
Marie- thanks a mill for advice...we are doing our next cycle with IVF Gennet...we will be using donor sperm/eggs - will say it to the crew re assisted hatching...I had a hysteroscopy before previous cycles & that was grand...I might try & check out the scratch for sure...
You must be thrilled with twins!!!Are they boysgirls? At the start of this journey (when I didnt reaise how complicated it would be) I used to have lovely dreams of twins cute ones like the girls in "Parent Trap" film!!!I havent heard many of those dreams in recent times...reality bites for sure!!!

Hi just to make you aware you won't be allowed to apply for adoption if you are still undergoing IVF treatment. As regards age the younger you apply the better - there is no upper age limit per say but if you are heading for your late 40s and still waiting for news of a match the AAI may not renew your declaration (licence to adopt).What I suggest is that you get in touch with your local Tulsa adoption office and put your name down for their compulsory information meeting - this will give you an opportunity to ask all the questions you need answers on and establish if adoption is the route you want to take
Hi, Joanne, We did actually end up using donor sperm and donor egg. Embryo adoption, as it improved our chance of success. My partners s count was too low etc. I think it would have been a different story if we hadnt used donor sperm. In fact I know it would. Marie.
Hi, where are you going to get donor ivf treatment? And an embryo scratch, which I had done privately, in Middlesbrough, does something to increase chances of implantation, I had a few miscarriages before my treatment over a few years. I found out my lining on a scan before treatment was too thick. I really hope you get an embryo scratch done. I even asked for it to be repeated, as it needs to be done a certain amount of time before actual treatment, two weeks before I think it was. Reprofit, in Brno Czech Republic were so professional and caring. I hope you can go there. We stayed at hotel Art and they arranged taxi for us. I had two embryos implanted to increase my chances, Marie.
Hi Joanne. Myself and my husband are 42 and 43 and were told by Tusla that whilst there's no official upper age limit the Adoption Authority of Ireland does tend to work to a guideline of 45 being the maximum age they will approve. We're only at the start of the process so perhaps someone else on here will know more. We're certainly hoping to get assessed before 45 either way.
Dear Marie,
Thanks a million for coming back to me- at the moment we are planning on doing a donor cycle IVF in July- this will be our 3rd donor sperm/egg IVF cycle so dont want to get my hopes up...we wont be able to do anything around moving the adoption application as I know you cant do it if you are still going through fertility treatments...at the moment I will be looking for my local Clinic here to do pre-cycle scans etc so dont want them to sign off on my file...as you know everything is complicated!!!
Out of interest what does the embryo scratch involved? I havent heard of that before...any advice for me as to how to get a better outcome?
To be honest I have heard of couples waiting donkeys years for an adopted child & I am fearful we could pass the age cut-off by then...
Congrats on your twins thats amazing!I would love to be blessed with twins/single baby but my hopes are dropping with each failed cycle...
Joanne x
Hi, my friend has just recently adopted a child aged 3, She is 45, and adopted through a charity organization. I could ask her for details if you like.
Out of interest, did you try donor ivf? I went to Brno Czech Repubic, Reprofit, and had treatment at age 49. I had an embryo scratch done to improve chance of implantation. Cut off age is 50. I have twins age 2 now. But if treatment hadnt worked I would have wanted to adopt. Sent you a previos message but dont think I sent it proparly. Mariex

I've received your letter 5 years ago. Thanks for the effort to write and for the high dreams you had on me hahaha. Don't be surprised about what you are going to read now.
To be honest, the current me isn't that much differ to the past me. Just that, I'm getting better than you (a good thing right?). I'm not a pharmacist yet, but I'm turning into one. I'm doing my degree in Clinical Pharmacy in Egypt now. I know! You'd never had a slightest thought of me going far to Egypt. Never ever in your plan. But this is how life rolls. Allah has sent me here, with reasons. And Alhamdulillah for that. I'm happy here.
I've spent almost 4 years here, I'm truly blessed. I've learnt so many things, I get to know the real meaning of life. I feel closer to what we should do in life. My aim was only to become a pharmacist. But it gets so different now, I think being a good Muslim is all that matters the most. Speaking of studies, I think I am just you. Who still stays up late for the last minute revision, I am still the same me hahaha but still having the same aim to become what I've really liked; pharmacist.
(Is it possible for someone to become this loyal? Damn, I must be so weird hahaha).
Family is still the same. I got a sister in law now who is expecting for her first. I'm so excited! Dad is the most excited one, of course. Because he's getting old (taking antihypercholesterolemia now zzz I lectured him about this already don't worry) that he can't really wait to have his first grandchild. He already has his favourite names to give to our first newborn. He would selfies with any of our cousin's children and sends the pictures to our Whatsapp group just to say that "our time is next" hahaha. So exciting. Mum is mum, never change, she's pretty cool about this.
And as me, I'm not married yet. If the plan goes well, it'll be at the end of this year, if Allah wills. I'm gonna blog about this real soon. So maybe in the next letter, you are going to read more about my marriage life hahaha. Yes, with Ameerul (who else?). Told ya, I'm one loyal freak! Ameerul is still nice. He puts everyone ahead before him, as always. You know, it would have be a thick book if I'd got to write all of nice things he's done to me. I am not bragging but he's really one nice creature that Allah has made for me, so complementary and it fits so well like a puzzle hahaha. (That's why he says I'm good at words, I'm one sweet talker you see).
Damia and Adam are still my closest babies. Since I'm in Egypt now, I will only get the chance to meet them once per year. But they grow up so fast now, Damia has a cellphone already. She Whatsapps me all the time with her pictures, songs and so on hahaha.
Let me tell you about Dolls. They are growing up so so well. Many things happen in this 5 years. So many newborns, so many Dolls Jr. Everyone got married and all. And Mc Ah's baby had an operation for her congenital heart problem, it's really sad. But Baby Zara Humaira grows up so well now, she's really strong. And as for my diploma coursemate, we are still close. Still the same as the old us. I'm really happy about this friendship. And I've made a new circle now with my Egypt sisters, they are younger than me but that's really okay cause I feel younger hahaha.
Oh, shopping! I miss to shop. I haven't really shop for the longest time! Wow, can't believe myself. Cause I have no income right now hahaha I'm going back to become a student, so I only get my monthly allowance from my dad. What a sad thing zzzz. Don't bother to buy shoes anymore cause I couldn't find any of my size here, everything is so large, I'm miserable. Plus, collecting shoes now is a bad idea, cause Egypt gets so dusty and I love my shoes, so that's it. Handbag? Nayy. I'm a student now. Backpack is fine for me. Clothes? Nayy. Cairo is far. And everything gets expensive due to Egypt's currency. I used to collect MNG shirts and Charles & Keith handbags before. But any of international brands here are double charged to what they be in Malaysia due to the currency. I remember I really want this Charles & Keith handbag but it costed 600LE, nahh forget it I felt like giving away 6 pieces of 100LE notes, compared to what they'd be in Malaysia (just giving away 2 or 3 pieces of RM100 notes haha), so never mind hahaha. But H&M is tolerable.
So, I only shop in Malaysia when I get back there during summer break.
Well, I may progress slowly, it's fine as long as I put an effort to make myself better. Well, of course life isn't always be easy. But I'm thankful I got everyone around me through my every moments. I'm one happy
Thanks to those who stay. I sound like an old lady now and I hate it. I'm still young! *applying anti-aging cream*
Not mine, obviously haha. Just me in 2016.
The Future You.

This post is an expansion of the core CO2 idea from my previous post...
I have been pondering the inexorable rise in the CO2 concentration of our planet's atmosphere. With the signing of the Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992, political leaders from around the globe agreed that we should take steps to stop the increase of greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere. Nearly 20 years later, despite many Conferences of the Parties and extensive public policy efforts, those gasses continue to accumulate. And they continue to accumulate at roughly the same rate as when the FCCC was signed in Rio.
The usual response to this state of affairs is that we need to work harder at those approaches that have failed so far. At some point I began wondering whether in fact our challenge is deeper: perhaps we have incorrectly diagnosed the nature of the problem. What if the continuing emissions reflects some overarching intentionality of the Human System and hence is immune to direct public policy solutions?
A friend of mine agreed that we may have misdiagnosed, but he argued that I was giving humanity and public policy too much weight – what if increasing CO2 concentration is simply an emergent property of the Earth system? That is, growing CO2 concentration is simply a property of the complex interactions that occur as a result of the evolution of the Earth System.
In this context, our policy efforts have been akin to a hammer looking for a nail. If CO2 concentration is in fact an emergent property, then we will need to work at the scale of the Earth System as a whole if we are to manage GHG concentrations. Perhaps more importantly, if this is the case, we should also be investing much more than we are in planning for life on our planet with CO2 concentrations in the 700ppm range.

The Northwest Passage. Across the sea ice from Cambridge Bay to Gjoa Haven
Is this the ultimate mix of historic and Polar travel? very possibly so !
Join us for this unique 400km trek along the route that propelled Roald Amundsen for fame. Explorers had for centuries tried to find the sea way between the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean with horrible consequences. So, when Amundsen on the small vessel 'Gjøa' made it through in 1906 it was world news.
Now we invite you to experience this beauty of a landscape first hand. We are doing the stretch that has it all: Thundra, packice, pressureridges, polar history, Inuit culture and beautiful people. From Cambridge Bay to Goa Haven.
And how do we know? Ousland Polar Exploration's own Bengt Rotmo was one of the first to ski the whole North West passage! So we do know the beauty of this land from the eyes of a polar explorer.
Food and equipment
Once booked and confirmed we will send a detailed equipment list, together with expedition booklet.
Day by day
Meeting point for all team and guide at Cambridge Bay will be (latest) on 7th April.
After 2 days doing last preparations head out in the Ice the 9th April.
20 days ski should allow us to get into Gjoa Haven the 28th, maybe 29th if seriously delayed...
Expedition details
We start out in Cambridge Bay, a small village of 1600 in the Nunavut territory in Canada. You may have heard of this place recently, as this summer another of Roald Amundsen's polar ships, 'Maud' was rescued from the bottom of the harbor, to be brought back to Norway.
We, on the other hand, ski with our sledges in bright, cold polar air. On the way we follow the sea ice, cross Jenny Lind Island, traverse real pressure ridges like those you find on the North Pole, before entering King William Island and the last bit on tundra in to Goa Haven. This is the place Amundsen and his men spent two years frozen in the ice on the way trough the passage.
Along the way we encounter lots of different terrain, maybe caribous, muskox and Arctic foxes. It is a journey where the cold, the sea ice, the animals, the history and the locals make an impression for life.
This trip is a perfect alternative to the North Pole if you don't have the money for the last degree trip and your reason for traveling is to be in a polar environment.
Training and preparing
Many wonder how to prepare physically for a polar expedition. This will vary from trip to trip and also for each individual. We will therefore provide individual training programs and advice for each participant if needed.
In general we expect people to carry a 20 kg backpack for 8 hours for several days on a row. That's a physical exercise that is easy to measure, but actual training can and will consist of various methods.
Training and physical preparation for these trips typically consist of at least 3 training sessions a week for at least one hour each. Gradually this should be increased to 4 sessions a week, three months before departure, including one or two longer sessions lasting for more than two hours.
A combination of cycling, jogging, workout in the gym, walking with backpack or pulling rubber tyres is what we recommend. Its not where you do it that matters, but that you do it. Remember that a cycling session in the gym or a hard work out on the walking machine can be equally as efficient as a session outdoors.
Related article: The fine art of pulling rubber tyres
There are two main issues with specific training. One is the physical shape needed to endure the trip you have signed up for and secondly to make your muscles, tendons and ligaments, basically the whole body, prepared for the load on the way. Not to forget the third reason, that physical training in general is very positive, something you will benefit from after the expedition as well. So, its only one thing to do when the goal is set, start training!
Note: Be careful in the beginning, start at a level you feel comfortable with and increase gradually. If you start out too hard you might experience overtraining and injuries. Consult a doctor or physician if you experience injuries. Don't forget to stretch out well after each session. Eating well and healthy will also help preparing your body for the upcoming adventure. The trips are not super hard, but you will enjoy it more when you have done your homework and taken training and preparation serious.
WHEN: 11-13 January (6 places) - other weekend if necessary
WHERE: Pick up is planned at Trondheim Airport Vaernes on Friday around 17:30, back at the Airport around 15:00 on Sunday.
COST: 950 Nok/person. Maximum 6 person per weekend.
As part of the preparations, we organize a series of training weekends in the Verdal area, Norway, close to Trondheim, late in January or early February. The aim is to go through the basic skills for winter survival in order to be as well prepared as possible. We go through all the equipment and routines. During this training weekend we also get to know each other a bit beforehand, as becoming a team is an important part of the whole concept. We also open for one-on-one talks with those who would like to get some personal advise.
Joining the training weekend has a low cost, basically what we will expend ourselves.
We will cover all of the basic equipment, breakfast and dinner, pulkas, tents, etc, but not the personal equipment (clothes, skis, poles, boots, sleeping bag and mattress) This is also a great time to go to the sport shop, since some of the equipment needed for trips like this can be hard to find outside Norway. We can assist you with this as well.
You need to cover your flight tickets coming here, food and lodging before and after the training outdoors (if any, as the nights will be spent in tents outdoors).
The training is voluntarily but highly recommended. This will help you and us to evaluate your assumptions and to put focus on the key points for further exercise and practice
More info on the training trip will be distributed when signing up for one of our trips.
We also do a extended training trip: The Finnmarksvidda Crossing
Every February for 6 days and 5 nights around the time of full-moon when possible.
Finnmarksvidda is in Northern parts of Norway, above the Arctic Circle. This trip is a great way to train and learn the ropes of basic winter survival. It is a 5 day mini expedition that is relevant, cold and stunning as we very often have the Northern lights at night. If timed with the full February moon we normally have enough natural light for skiing as well.
The Finnmark trip is one of our regular trips (refer to the complete overview for all trips) but if you already are booked on any of our other trips, you will receive a discount.
Rates, dates and booking
You must be in Cambridge Bay in early April, DATE NOT YET CONFIRMED FOR 2019, , 1-2 days packing before heading out on the field, moving towards Gjoa Haven

Suez to buy into water group
By Wan Zhihong (China Daily)
Updated: 2008-04-08 10:13
French energy and environment group Suez said it will take a 15 percent stake with its partner in a Chinese company for 1.5 billion yuan ($214.1 million).
Suez Environment and its Hong Kong partner New World Services will buy into Chongqing Water Group (CWG), a major water service supplier, the French group said in a statement.
"We already assist Chongqing in achieving its environmental goals through our joint venture water companies. We are excited about further strengthening our relationship through this investment," Jean-Louis Chaussade, CEO of Suez Environment, said.
CWG runs 32 water treatment plants and 35 wastewater facilities in Chongqing that provide services to about 8.4 million residents.
Suez Environment has two joint ventures in the municipality. Chongqing Sino French Water Supply, a 60-40 venture with Chongqing Water Holding (Group), was set up in 2002.
It's the sole drinking water supplier and network manager in the northern part of Chongqing. It serves 1 million residents as well as a large industrial and commercial community.
The Chongqing Sino French Tangjiatuo Sewage Treatment Plant is its second joint venture in the municipality, a 50-50 business with Chongqing Water Holding (Group). It opened in January 2007 and provided services for around 1 million people last year.
The water market is one of the most open and lucrative infrastructure sectors in China for foreign equipment providers, contractors, operators and investors, KPMG said in a recent report.

"He worries that dance cumbia, because he stayed with the image of the time when you cut into the polleritas" he told the driver, who said that this is already ancient history.
In "Dancing 2015" of "ShowMatch" (The Thirteen), the third couple to leave the track on Friday night was the Candela Ruggeri (daughter of Oscar Ruggeri) and Facundo Insúa.
The beautiful model said his famous father is not so happy with his participation in the contest: "Worried that dance cumbia, because he stayed with the image of the time when you cut into the polleritas He sincere with Candela with Marcelo Tinelli -.
My dad was always jealous. " Marcelo had fun answering that Oscar had fallen over time, and invited him to attend the program to iron out any rough edges.
Then Candela and Facundo danced "Moves like Jagger" and received the jury returns. Angel De Brito described the couple with 8 points, he was surprised and told the participants: "We have seen many models usually do not dance well Vos you have wave and I liked the previous To be a first time... , you were great. "
Nacha Guevara, however, was critical. Les became 6 and motioned for Candela Ruggeri: "You're very pretty, but you have little land Everything is in the air as thin, high Sos, you need muscle, that makes you more difficult to grip the floor, but I think.. that eventually you're going to get better. I liked your attitude. "
Moria Casan, whose score was 8, was enthusiastic about the previous ". You do not look an amateur, you have an air fashion and to be your first time, you were very well Like I need forthrightness, I saw half flancito" he told Candela.
Solita Silveyra, whose vote is secret, confessed to being amazed: "I call the 'I told candlesticks attention Sos very delicate and thin you need to learn, but I really liked..."
In the end, Marcelo Polino, who gave them 4 points to Ruggeri and Insua was sincere: "When I saw 'This is the show', I found a disaster, but here, surprised me share what I told my comrades. Sos one model very cool and I liked what they did. " Thus, in total, the couple was 26 points.

Career Colleges » Virginia » Computers and Technology » Database Technology
Looking for accredited career colleges, technical schools, and universities in Virginia offering Database Technology degrees. In today's high technology world, people in database administration are in high demand. DBAs and database administrators are needed.Virginia is a great state in which to go to college. Virginia college students enjoy close proximity to Washington, D.C., but also the opportunity to live in a more rural or suburban setting. Virginia is home to many colleges and universities. Virginia is still a surprisingly rural state, with tobacco as the primary cash crop. It was the birthplace of our nation, as the very first European settlement in North America was established at Jamestown in 1607. Virginia is a state of contrasts: not only do you have historic Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg, you also find the home of the Pentagon and of Mae East, the major East Coast internet hub. Whether you enjoy hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains, wandering along its beaches, or enjoying a quiet dinner in its many fine restaurants, you are likely to find attending college in Virginia to be an excellent choice.
In the age of information, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with all the data we create on a daily basis. Financial data, personnel records, and e-mails have a way of piling up faster than we can organize them. That's why database administration is such an important field in today's global economy.
As a database administrator, your job is to organize information as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Ultimately, you want to make it very easy for those who need information to be able to access it. At the same time, however, you must be able to implement security measures so that prying eyes or viruses don't have access to information. Can you imagine how damaging it could be if a company lost all of its financial data due to some hacker or worm?
In addition to basic organizational skills, you'll learn computer science, basic programming, statistics, various types of math, networking, information technology, and a host of other areas that are necessary for successful database management.
Information grows exponentially. Just think how many new web pages you create every time you check your Yahoo or MSN e-mail account. Think about all of the financial records banks must keep up with on a daily basis. The amount of data in the world grows at phenomenal rate. Thus, demand for those who know how to manage these data will also grow substantially in the years to come. Suffice to say that if you know how to handle information effectively, you'll never suffer from lack of work.

I've set my goals and starting today, I'm working them and praying I can achieve each and everyone of them. I'll share some of my goals later in the week so be on the look out for that post.
One of my goals is to make more blog posts here so I'm participating in the Ultimate Blog Challenge. Another one of my goals is to write more articles. Last year I participated in a 100 articles in 100 days article challenge put on my Ezine Articles and the traffic was amazing. I ended the year with 300 articles in Ezine Articles and I'm going to increase that number again this year.
So as you can see content is one of my goals. I'm planning to use that content to my advantage and you're going to want to make sure you're a part of my network so you can read everything I'm posting so it will help you as well.
So with that, I'm off to enjoy the rest of New Year's Day.
To your Success,

There is nothing more joyful in family law than adoption. The legal process of bringing a family together or creating a new family is always a happy time. That is why our attorneys enjoy helping clients even more when they are seeking an adoption. With more than 75 years of legal experience, Lynch & Pine services clients throughout Rhode Island.
If you are interested in our adoption or legal guardianship services, reach out to us online. Our family law practice is located in Providence.
While the end result is a joyous one, the road to a legal adoption can be long. That is why it is so important to get all the support and help you can get along the way. This includes a family law attorney who can make sure everything is done properly and through the courts in a thorough and legal manner.
Our lawyers help families with all kinds of adoptions, including:
- Open and closed adoptions: An open adoption is where the adopting parents and the biological parents know each other's identities and often form life-lasting bonds so that the child can grow up knowing about his or her biological parents. A closed adoption is where parties remain anonymous to each other. Both provide good options for families who may have different needs and wishes.
- Contested adoptions: Some adoptions are contested. For example, the biological parent may have abandoned his or her child and are now contesting the adoption. We can help you with this difficult situation.
- Stepparent adoptions: A divorce does not mean the end of a family. Quite the contrary. In fact, it can mean the beginning of a new one. We help stepparents and newly remarried couples with stepparent adoptions.
- International adoptions: When an adoption is not done domestically and instead overseas to countries like China, Russia or India, then it is considered an international adoption.

Chapter Fourteen
Deep Wounds
I woke to find Merlin sitting by my bedside. He was not dozing, nor was he occupying himself with something else to pass the time, but he was staring straight at me, giving me a start in my poor condition.
"What, by all the saints, were you thinking, boy?" Merlin said as soon as he saw my eyes open, and I shrunk back onto the pillows, away from his menacing glance. "I told you not to run. Do you have any idea what might have happened if we had not found you when we did?" I didn't answer, as I took the question to be rhetorical. "Morgan could have caught you and done something worse to you—oh yes, there is worse than the curse you have. Or you could have been found by someone equally ambitious. You were bloody lucky, boy. If your trail hadn't been so easy to follow, with your over powerful emotions, I would never have been able to track you down. You almost sent Arthur into a guilty rage."
"Guilty?" I asked, my voice only a whisper.
Merlin rolled his eyes as if dealing with an idiot. "Of course, Mordred! Do you not recall the row you two had in front of no less than all the knights? I swear, I can't leave that man to his own devices for two hours without him doing something completely idiotic. He thought you ran away from him!"
"I did," I said. "I ran away because I didn't want to hurt him."
"I know that," Merlin said in a sarcastically slow voice. "But Arthur doesn't know you've had a curse put on you to kill him. That man really cares about you—he thinks you're his son, for heaven's sake! What do you think he would have done if something worse had happened to you?"
I immediately felt my heart ache afresh along with the rest of my body. I had not thought of that, not considered it. His words had hurt, yes, especially when I thought back to them, but I had been so blinded by my own fear of almost having killed him again that I had hardly registered their meaning, or the implications behind them at the time. I had run away to protect Arthur, not because he had yelled at me. I knew he hadn't meant that. And he had found me and brought me back when I was beyond caring about any curse. The realization finally dawned at the pain Arthur had likely been feeling at my disappearance and I immediately felt horrible. Merlin seemed to realize that I finally understood and let out a long sigh, putting his hand on my forehead.
"You've been fevered for two days. That arrow took some doing to get out, and if you dare move more than an inch, I will tie you down for all the trouble it took me to close the bloody thing."
"Where's Arthur?" I asked.
"He's asleep. Finally. He wouldn't leave your side, and he was so distressed that Guinevere finally had me slip something into his drink. I'll let him know you're back with us when he wakes." He reached to a table on one side of the room. I finally realized that I was in his chambers, in some small alcove with a bed, and curtains blocking out most of the rest of the room that I assumed was either his library or the one he worked his spells in. He picked up a cup and reached down to raise my head. "Drink," he said.
I drank, knowing I couldn't refuse, nor did I have the strength to. I was thirsty in any case. The concoction tasted pleasant and it didn't make me feel drowsy so I assumed it was not the same thing Merlin had given Arthur, for which I was glad. I was not ready to sleep again yet.

An Arthurian Retelling from Mordred's point of view. A new twist on the story that makes the villain the hero.

Many, perhaps most, Pagan religions in the Mediterranean area had a major seasonal day of religious celebration at or following the Spring Equinox. Cybele, the Phrygian fertility goddess, had a consort, Attis, who was believed to have been born via a virgin birth. Attis was believed to have died and been resurrected each year during the period March 22 to March 25.
Cybele originated as an earth goddess worshipped in
Asia Minor, primarily at Çatal Hüyük. She was known as Kubaba and was earliest depicted as an earth mother… in plump and heavy forms. The name may be derivative of the local word for cube and may refer to a black meteorite that was associated with her, giving Cybele a distinct extra-terrestrial origin. The black meteorite was adapted as the head of the cult statue. Cybele, like Artemis of Ephesus, was a "black virgin."
She was primarily associated with the concerns of women, protection against one's enemies, the healing of grave illnesses, guardianship of the dead, a granter of boons and a giver of the gift of prophecy.
"About 200 B.C. mystery cults began to appear in
just as they had earlier in Rome . Most notable was the Cybele cult centered on Greece Vatican hill ...Associated with the Cybele cult was that of her lover, Attis (the older Tammuz, Osiris, Dionysus, or Orpheus under a new name). He was a god of ever-reviving vegetation. Born of a virgin, he died and was reborn annually. The festival began as a day of blood on Black Friday and culminated after three days in a day of rejoicing over the resurrection."
- Gerald L. Berry, author of "Religions of the World
Many religious historians and liberal theologians believe that the death and resurrection legends were first associated with Cybele's consort, Attis… many centuries before the birth of Jesus. They were simply grafted onto stories of Jesus' life in order to make Christian theology more acceptable to Pagans. Later images of Attis show him as a shepherd, holding a shepherd's crook or playing the panpipes.
Others suggest that many of the events in Jesus' life that were recorded in the gospels were lifted from the life of
Krishna, the second person of the Hindu Trinity.
Ancient Christians had an alternative explanation; they claimed that Satan had created counterfeit deities in advance of the coming of Christ in order to confuse humanity. Modern-day Christians generally regard the Attis legend as being a Pagan myth of little value with no connection to Jesus. They regard Jesus' death and resurrection account as being true, and unrelated to the earlier tradition.
The early Christians were determined to destroy the cult and
condemns her as a "demon" and a "monster" and the Gallae were "madmen" and "castrated perverts". In the 4th century CE, Valentinian II officially banned the worship of Cybele, and many of her followers perished at the hands of zealous Christians. St Augustine
Justinian continued the persecution of the cult and the Gallae. Under his reign, transgendered persons, and those indulging in same sex eroticism had their property confiscated, sacred texts burned, temples raised; they were tortured, forced to commit suicide, or burned alive. By the start of the 6th century CE, the Cult and the ancient Gallae were extinct. Elements of the cult were assimilated into Christianity in a manner similar to that of
Isis. There is a much of Cybele and Isis in the Virgin Mary.
According to Gerald L. Berry, author of "Religions of the World" …the original "sacred site" of the Cybele Mystery Cult was located on what was to become The Vatican. It seems that the master of assimilation, the early church, saw fit to appropriate the sacred site for their Holy See, later to build the
right on top of the Pagan site. Apparently attempting to "steal the mojo" of the earlier mystery religion. Vatican City

For Remembrance Day, November 11th, 2018
This Remembrance Day, November 11th, 2018, marks the 100th Anniversary of the Armistice which took effect "at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918 for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I. St. Catharines artist Francie McGlynn drew on her childhood experiences of growing up in Niagara to create this evocative and timeless view of solemn Merrittonians gathering at the town Cenotaph on Remembrance Day. Francie's pastel work captures perfectly a local community's feelings of loss and mourning for its Veterans, and also the sense of reverence and respect with which Canadians celebrate all who have served and sacrificed. Thank you, Francie, for this most fitting tribute. Tom and Frank Goldspink, TAG Art Gallery

The Bringing Them Home Counselling Program provides support to people affected by the forced removal policies and practices of past governments. This includes counselling before, during and after family reunions. There are currently 14 Link-Up Services nationally - one each in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria, two in the Northern Territory and eight in Western Australia (none in Tasmania). The Services operate either as stand-alone Link-Up Services or are auspiced by Aboriginal Community Controlled Health services.
The first Link-Up was established in 1981 by Kooris in NSW to help those who had been forcibly removed from their families. Link-up services supported and assisted Indigenous people affected by past removal policies to trace their genealogy and family history, and potentially reunite them with their families. However, these services did not receive Australian Government funding until 1998, following the release of the Bringing Them Home Report (1997). Today there is a network of 100 Bringing Them Home Counsellors in 14 Link-up services around Australia, funded through the Office of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health (OATSIH).
Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing
For the location of Bringing Them Home counsellors, see:
The Marumali Journey of Healing is a healing program for the Stolen Generations which operates within holistic Indigenous concepts of social and emotional wellbeing. 'Marumali' is a Kamilaroi word which means 'to heal' or 'put back together'. The aim of the program is to 'increase the quality of support available to survivors of removal policies (Stolen Generations)'.
Aunty Lorraine Peeters is a member of the Stolen Generations and a Kamilaroi woman who was removed from Brewarrina to the Cootamundra Girls Home aged four years old. She used her experience to create a unique healing model to guide members of the Stolen Generations on a safe path to reclaim their own identities, families and communities.
Aunty Lorraine presented the Marumali Journey of Healing for the first time during an invited keynote address at the NSW Mental Health Conference held in Sydney in September 1999. The conference called for Aunty Lorraine's 'model of healing and body of work to be copyrighted, published and circulated within Aboriginal communities, Link up organisations and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations to enhance the healing process for Aboriginal people'. In response, Aunty Lorraine developed a five-day program to train Aboriginal counsellors to support survivors to heal from the trauma they suffered as a result of removal: the Marumail Journey of Healing. She also established a company, Winangali Marumali to support the delivery of the training.
At the time Aunty Lorraine developed her model, there was very little evidence available to guide those seeking to assist members of the Stolen Generations to heal from their experiences. As a result, many survivors of removal policies were being misunderstood, misdiagnosed or incarcerated when the trauma associated with this process was 'triggered'.
The Marumali Journey of Healing is now in its eleventh year of successful operation. Since 2000, more than 140 workshops have been delivered to over 2,000 participants. The majority have been Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people working to support survivors of forcible removal policies (Stolen Generations), or Stolen Generations survivors themselves.
For several years, OATSIH has sponsored delivery of the Marumali training to OATSIH-funded programs such as Bringing Them Home counsellors and Link-up programs, and the Marumali Journey of Healing is the most common model used in these services. The program has also been successfully delivered in Victorian prisons since 2002, with over 20 workshops delivered to 250 prisoners.
The Murumali Program is a nationally accredited component of Aboriginal Primary Health Care and is a core unit in the Certificate IV and Diploma in Aboriginal and/ or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health (Community Stream) - Social and Emotional Wellbeing. Accredited training is hosted by the Aboriginal Health and Medical Research Council's Aboriginal Health College in NSW.
The Marumali program was developed by an Aboriginal survivor for Aboriginal survivors. It is culturally appropriate for all Aboriginal people who have suffered the effects of removal. Marumali is a healing program rather than a 'therapy' or 'treatment'. It respects the strength and autonomy of survivors. The program is consistent with and supports the work of Link-Up and Bringing them Home counsellors.
The Sacred Site Within Healing Centre was established to deliver the Seven Phases to Reconciling Losses with Grief program, developed by Rosemary Wanganeen.
The Sacred Site Within Healing Centre was established in 1993 and the Australian Institute for Loss and Grief was established in 2005, both in Adelaide.
Rosemary Wanganeen's decision to develop the Seven Phases to Reconciling Losses with Grief came from personally experiencing all forms of childhood abuses before and during Stolen Generation practices. She realized there was no culturally appropriate loss and grief counselling model, so she set about using her loss and grief healing processes as an informal 'case study' to design the Seven Phases of Grief.
