The findings show that the UDC has made modest inroads in providing users with access to information, comparative advantages and bridging the digital divide. However, it is yet to have significant impacts on broader development goals through improvement of livelihood. The study has explored roles of stakeholders to current progress and found an imbalance in their contributions in terms of overdependence on government’s supports. Inadequate engagement of entrepreneurs is linked to weak involvement of other stakeholders.
One of the key objectives of the study was to assess the issues of sustainability. It has identified the strengths and opportunities emanating from the partnership ecosystem to predict sustainability. It finds that both financial and social outcomes of the project are dependent on partnership components such as infrastructure and service inputs from government and entrepreneur’s investment. In the light of this, the study recommends more effective engagement of relevant stakeholders with an increase of these factors.
Although the overall record of the UDC is not impressive, as a new initiative it holds a promise to redefine the nature of service delivery and broaden people’s access in the future. One of the contributions of the present study is that it has considered the UDC as an innovation showing how the attributes of innovation can help it for wider diffusion. Given the lack of previous studies, this work has developed a model of contribution from each stakeholder in a telecentre project of a developing country, where the private sector is weak. The models for financial and social sustainability demonstrate pathways with collaborative involvement of all stakeholders.

Lilith. Feminist icon. Biblical nightmare. And now, the subject of Julie R. Enszer’s latest poetry book.
Lilith’s Demons, Enszer’s third book, reimagines the infamous, ancient figure Lilith as a modern, empowered woman. Split into three parts, the book begins with poems from Lilith’s point of view, followed by a middle section narrated by her demons (all with their own unique name and personality), and finally, closing with a short section narrated by angels who are drawn to Lilith’s alluring power. Through the eyes of Lilith and her demons, Enszer crafts a beautiful and thought-provoking narrative of the modern issue of women’s oppression, and the punishment they receive.
There are some cravings that can last a lifetime. If there is any evidence of this, it can be read in Clementine von Radics’ poetry collection Mouthful of Forevers. These poems separately challenge the reader to look at how they define love and how they heal from it. They make us question whether or not love is just one thing, or a mangled mess of emotion. Von Radics begs us to be raw with ourselves, to explore the types of love the world has to offer, traditional or not. She teaches us that the type of love we learn is the definition of love we bring with us, the love we challenge.
In his debut novel without anesthesia, Pedram Navab is able to construct a narrative with an intense urgency to connect plot lines and make meaning of his characters' obsessive practices to claim identity. The multi-genre narrative is structured with three major threads: Adrien, a doctor who falls in love with a cadaver; Tess, a med student desperate to connect with her patients and become the best doctor she can be; and a failing actor who desperately seeks an audience. While these threads interweave creating a cohesive story, a narrative in the background reveals itself as a symbol of each character’s identity struggles.

We have a wall of photographs in our house that is supposed to be changed up every now and then. The thing is, it has been changed once since we moved in. Once. That's since October 2006. Clearly not what we had in mind. Granted, many of the photos on the wall are perfectly lovely. Others went on there temporarily because the frames had to be filled. Then that temporarily turned into forever. What can I say, time flies.
But lately I've been thinking that I want to take them all down and put up one big photo instead. I like the idea of one huge oversized photo with a fat passepartout in a nice simple silvery frame, covering a large part of that wall. Kind of like this.
I have been looking for a while for a suitable photo in our EHDs and surprisingly it seems more difficult than could be expected after years and years of clicking that camera button. But maybe, just maybe this one of a street in Rome could be a contender? Feedback is very much welcome!
LOL, I will think about that some more.
Quanto sei bella Roma, foto bellissima!

In May 2010, the Dallas Zoo opened Giants of the Savanna, a new exhibit area featuring animals of the African savanna in naturalistic habitats designed to showcase the natural behaviors of the inhabitants. One of the most innovative features of Giants of the Savanna is Predator Rock, which houses 2.3 African lions (Panthera leo) and 1.2 cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus). This area was designed to showcase natural behaviors of large carnivores and to highlight the exemplary level of care zookeepers are able to provide using a positive reinforcement training program to facilitate daily husbandry and medical care. Predator Rock has a public demonstration area where guests can watch behaviors such as voluntary injections, voluntary blood draws, and body exams from just feet away in a protected contact environment. Demonstrations take place twice per day, seven days a week and require frequent, reliable, and often complex shifting routines. One of the cheetahs housed at Predator Rock is ten year old female “Kisutu”. “Kisutu” had a history of shifting poorly, showing aggressive behaviors toward caretakers, and of choosing not to participate in training programs, all of which made Predator Rock’s daily routine very challenging for her. This paper will discuss the process of desensitization, trust-building, empowerment, and positive reinforcement zookeepers used to integrate “Kisutu” into a daily routine that includes reliable shifting, training daily in front of guests, decreasing frequency and intensity of keeper-directed aggression, and making progress in learning husbandry behaviors that improve the quality of her daily care.
The Dallas Zoo’s Giants of the Savanna exhibit, opened in May 2010, features many species found on the African savanna in large, naturalistic habitats. Predator Rock houses 2.3 African Lions (Panthera leo) and 1.2 Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) in two exhibits which are connected by a common demonstration area. This area allows visitors to observe keepers as they use positive reinforcement training methods to teach these intelligent carnivores behaviors such as presenting for oral exams, voluntary injections, and voluntary blood draws all in a protected contact environment. Instead of using a traditional primary trainer system, the keepers implemented a multi-trainer system within the Predator Rock area in July 2010. This system allows all trainers to act as primary trainers for all the cats and for all new and maintenance behaviors. For this to be effective, trainers have pre and post-training session meetings, fill out daily training logs for each animal, as well as utilize behavior turn over logs to allow each trainer to know the status of each new behavior. Partnering with consultants from Natural Encounters, Inc., keepers learned the value of coaching, communication, and consistency in creating a successful training program. This paper will discuss the implementation of the new training system, challenges with using the system, the effectiveness of the system for this situation, and the successes keepers have achieved using the system.
Denver Zoo currently houses 1.3 Przewalski’s Horses, also known as Mongolian Wild Horses, whose training had traditionally been limited to shifting into stalls and a stud pen for daily cleaning. 0.1 Bernia has lived in Denver since 2001, 0.2 Yisun and Saikan moved to Denver in 2006, and 1.0 Bataar moved to Denver in 2008. We currently cannot do hoof trims or any medical procedures on any of the four without chemically immobilizing them. Initially, none of the animals allowed keepers near or would eat from their hand. While in quarantine, however, Bataar began showing interest in human contact, so technicians at our hospital began the first steps of what evolved into our training program for these horses. We began working formally with Bataar in September 2009, and he progressed more quickly than we anticipated. He currently presents both sides for keepers, pressing his entire body against a chain link fence, and allows injections into his hip, application of fly spray and will pick up each foot when asked. All behaviors have been trained through a chain link barrier, in a protected contact setting, using positive reinforcement based operant conditioning. Bernia has now begun this training as well. This paper talks about the how we got to where we are today and the planned next steps to continue to build this program and work creatively within our existing facilities so that we can reduce the need to use chemicals for medical procedures.
A primary endeavor of the Humane Society of Boulder Valley is to save animal lives through the implementation of a behavior modification program for shelter dogs. The objective of the program is to decrease euthanasia, share effective and efficient strategies with other shelters, and encourage momentum in shelter behavior modification across the country. Due to the nationwide prevalence of dogs who display food bowl guarding during behavior assessments and the subsequently high rate of euthanasia for this behavior problem, rehabilitation of food guarding is a strong focus area of the Society’s program. Our aim is to advance shelter animal welfare by providing shelter workers and dog trainers with a food guarding modification protocol to efficiently rehabilitate a large number of dogs in a short period of time. The Humane Society’s six-step protocol provides rehabilitative treatment by applying force-free, scientific principles of desensitization, counterconditioning, and the differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior to modify a dog’s existing negative association to food bowl removal and to install behaviors incompatible with aggression. Current program results indicate an average treatment time of 11 days with 89% of participants (129 out of 145) successfully passing re-evaluation by a novel tester and entering our adoption center. The program’s success and ease of protocol use may facilitate behavior rehabilitation in shelters across the country, thereby increasing the number of lives saved and advancing the welfare of shelter animals.
Feather damaging behavior (FDB), the destruction or removal of a bird’s own feathers, is a common problem in some captive bird species. Possible causes of FDB include poor nutrition, allergic reactions, stimulus poor environments, and chemical imbalances. Due to the numerous proposed etiologies, there are many treatments for FDB, none of which works in all cases. Here, I present a case study of a female eclectic parrot that has lived in a zoological setting from the onset of FDB to present time. The application and results of treatments including increased socialization and foraging opportunities, diet modification, and use of the drug Lupron, are documented. None of these treatments resulted in a lasting decrease of FDB. Next, I examine a possible link between FDB and puberty. Data was obtained through a survey sent to North American institutions housing species identified by the AZA Avian Taxon Advisory groups as being prone to FBD: Waldrapp ibis, cockatoos, and ostrich. Participants were asked to provide information on age and social situation at the onset of FDB. The survey results indicate that a significant proportion of birds developed FDB at the suspected onset of puberty. There are also some indications that inappropriate social groupings at the onset of puberty may also play a role in the development of FDB. The case study and survey results support my hypothesis that changing the way birds are housed at the onset and during puberty may lead to a decrease in feather damaging behavior.
The Oakland Zoo has developed an operant conditioning training program to advance husbandry and veterinary care for its 3.3 Aldabra giant tortoises. We have trained three core behaviors: cooperative nail trimming, open mouth behavior, and voluntary blood draws. This approach is novel in these animals and demonstrates that operant conditioning training provides a powerful tool to improve the care of giant tortoises. Cooperative nail trim behavior has been established using a lie down behavior and then desensitization to a rotary tool. An open mouth behavior has been conditioned to facilitate veterinary exams in one individual who has exhibited difficulty biting through standard food. A voluntary blood draw behavior is in progress using a neck extension and hold behavior and desensitization. At the outset of the training regimen we also developed a protocol for desensitization of our female tortoises, because they exhibited avoidance behaviors towards keepers (our male tortoises already exhibited affiliative behaviors and could immediately begin the operant conditioning program). This desensitization process focused on developing stronger reinforcement histories and cooperative relationships; resulting in one individual exhibiting affiliative behaviors towards keepers and participating in the operant conditioning program. The operant conditioning program has elevated our level of behavior management by improving keeper relationships with all tortoises, improving our ability to provide husbandry care, enables more frequent veterinary examinations and will improve our veterinary staff’s ability to diagnose and treat illness in our Aldabra giant tortoises.
Part of the culture at Landry’s is “Be driven, work smart; if you are not teaching or learning, you are not getting it done.” Teaching and learning can be difficult to maintain with an animal staff’s daily and dynamic schedule. By purchasing an inexpensive, high quality and easy to use video camera, the Animal Training Staff at the Downtown Aquarium Houston has been able to conduct self-evaluation, peer-evaluation and document cues and criteria. Additionally, the staff has used the camera for reviewing animal husbandry, public presentations, recording marketing materials, and staff training. This presentation will use case studies to show how the Flip® camera turned our animal and people training world upside down.
Behavioral management and training applications have long been used with birds in zoos to enhance visitor education and presentation opportunities, now within more recent years the value of using behavior training to enhance husbandry routines such as shifting, scaling and veterinary procedures has also been widely realized with great appreciation. By comparison the use of behavior training techniques in the management of breeding birds has been one of the least explored areas. Zoo curators typically have an understandable reluctance to disturb or risk altering the behavior of birds that are in the process of trying to breed, and therefore less behavioral management has been applied to birds in breeding situations. This presentation explores opportunities where the use of behavioral training techniques can positively assist zoo staff working towards breeding priority birds. Discussion includes opportunities for improving the management of bird introductions, better managing the exhibit environment and improving the way that keepers work in the vicinity of breeding birds.

Think building credit isn’t that important? Think again.
If you’re in college or just getting your career off the ground, it’s absolutely imperative to debunk these myths now rather than later.
Let’s be honest: college students and credit cards don’t always mix well. As a result, many forgo them altogether. If you go this route, you’ll be in for a rude awakening .
Utilities – No credit history? Don’t be surprised if your cell phone provider requires you to pony up a deposit. The same holds true for your home’s electric, cable, gas, etc.
Insurance Policies – Whether it’s fair or not, in the vast majority of states, insurance companies can factor your credit into the pricing. According to one study, if you maintain good credit from age 25 to 65, you will have .
Employers – Just like insurance companies, many states as part of their hiring and promotion decisions.
These are all good reasons to start building credit now – in a responsible way.
The Credit Utilization Ratio (CUR) is the percentage of a limit that’s used. For example, if you have a card with a $10,000 limit and use $7,000 of it, that’s a 70 percent CUR.
, the most popular type of credit score, actually favors a lower percentage. It’s usually best to keep your CUR below 30 percent on a given card. Some credit experts recommend an even lower amount, at 10 or 15 percent.
Many people wrongly assume that everyone starts with “good credit,” and only mistakes mess it up.
Having little to no credit history basically leaves you with a blank slate. It’s not “bad” in the sense of having derogatory info on your report, but it’s still bad nonetheless. Without having a history to look at, how are banks supposed to gauge your worthiness?
Start building credit now, not later. This especially holds true if you hope to buy a home in the next few years. But even you don’t plan to buy, keep in mind that most of those credit card offers you see with and will require an established and robust credit history to be approved.
If you don’t have student loans or any other credit accounts, start out with an or your ask local bank to help you get the credit ball rolling.
The only demographic component that could maybe affect you is your age. It has no direct impact, but since the age of your accounts factors in, your age could indirectly affect your credit. After all, you can’t be 22 years old and have a mortgage that goes back 25 years!
Know that parking ticket you’re ignoring? Procrastinate for too long, and it may come back to haunt you later.
Fortunately, FICO recently to ignore small-dollar “nuisance” collection amounts. But that doesn’t mean you’re off scot-free when a real human analyzes your report. I’ve heard from a couple people who were denied a mortgage because of “nuisance” collections; only $10 and $50 charge-offs.

Leadership Question #3: How Can You Keep Inspiration Alive?
Continuing in my series of “20 Leadership Questions,” we come to the third question that Michael Smith asked when he interviewed me. This is one that every leader inevitably faces as his organizations grows.
We’ve all experienced it: the large bureaucracy where where the employees seem to be just punching the clock.
Last week, I had to get my drivers license renewed. This meant a trip to the Department of Safety’s Driver Service Center. While the process was quicker and more efficient than I expected, the people working the counter seemed lifeless. No smiles. No warmth. Just marking time. It was a little depressing.
However, this happens in the private sector as well. In fact, it happens any time people get disconnected from the their purpose.
Connect people to the larger story. People want to know that their organization matters. They want to know it is making a difference in the world. For this to happen, you must connect them to the larger story. Why was your organization founded? Why does it exist? What would happen if it disappeared? What is really at stake?
Resist creating new policies. I have seen this over and over again in organizations. Someone makes a mistake. Rather than dealing with the problem—which is likely an exception or an anomaly—the leaders create a new policy. Over time, these policies slow an organization down, like the ropes that rendered Gulliver immovable. The better tactic is to deal with problems and people head-on and only institute a policy if the behavior happens repeatedly or spreads beyond the original situation.
While there may be a tendency for your organization to become more bureaucratic as it grows, this is not inevitable. However, it does take a leader who is determined to inspire himself and then inspire others.
Question: What do you do to actively inspire those who follow you?

It's hard to believe but at any given time there are thousands of people in a position to completely start over and begin a new journey in their life. If you've made it to this page, you might find yourself at that spot as well. Below are some of the questions we frequently get asked by those who are considering enlisting with the Armada. If you're still interested once you've reached the bottom of the page, contact us!
Unless you are providing a professional licensed service such as legal, financial or professional, then pretty much nothing. We provide you with room and board and that's about it. We will help you find paid gigs to help support yourself financially, but this is not a regular job. If you possess professional licensing then we do have other paid opportunities for you and your rates will be based on your experience and abilities.
Will I get my own place?
Don't count on it. Your lodging accommodations will likely be shared but it's really based upon what's available at the time and how many other crew members are serving at the time. With certainty, your accommodations will be on a boat out on the water.
Hahahahahahaha! That's a good one!
Probably not but that is on a case-by-case basis.
How will I get to Key West?
It's up to you to figure out how you'll get to Key West but we will make sure you have a bed to sleep in and food to eat once you get here.
How long am I required to give my service?
Service is completely voluntary and you can leave at any time.
If you're still interested in enlisting your service with us, please fill out the contact form and we will get back with you.

Why do so many companies hanker after apps? Smartphone apps, tablet apps, iOS apps, Android apps, the list is endless.
Do apps need all the permissions they ask for? No. Would they work if they didn’t have all those permissions? 99% of the time, yes – they would work without a problem. For example, an app would need to access your camera if you wanted to scan a barcode to look up a product. The app would need access to your microphone if you wanted to speak out your query rather than type it in the app. What if you don’t particularly care about pointing your camera at the back of books to scan their barcodes, or speaking like Captain Kirk into your phone? Sorry, you are out of luck. You cannot selectively choose to not grant certain privileges to an app – at least on a device running the Android mobile operating system. In other words, it is a take-it-or-leave-it world, where the app developer is in control. Not you. And wanting to know your location? Even if you are a dating app, it’s still creepy.

Kay Huff has many years’ experience consulting in the dental industry. Here is an article originally published in June of 2014. Read her tips on phone etiquette and suggested phrases, and polish your phone skills for a new year.
Every single day I have conversations with my clients about incredible hospitality, a welcoming and positive attitude, creating a high level of engagement, and developing an ear for great listening. I sound like a broken record reviewing the fundamentals with doctors and their teams. I typically have a lot of confidence that folks are “getting” the message. And then we test our progress only to learn there is still so much to learn. Most practices have worked on, and will continue to work on, basic phone skills, as long as their doors are open.
Even though most offices do work on phone policies, they don’t usually take time to listen to how effective phone etiquette actually is. Even if they do, the majority of doctors and team members truly don’t know what an exceptional phone experience can be.

Barely a couple of hours from Pune, Anjee's Chalet at Karjat is a spectacular homestay that looks nothing short of a gorgeous wooden chalet on a Swiss postcard.
Nestled atop a hill, against a backdrop of misty mountains, blue skies and meandering rivers, Anjee's Chalet looks like a dream. It's the kind of luxury homestay you book on your big day, perhaps a milestone in your relationship.
We love how the decor of the chalet compliments the surroundings outside. Plush wooden interiors for the rustic look, glassy windows and doors for plenty of natural light, pastels and soft notes for a relaxed setting and a romantic bedroom with a balcony that overlooks the vast, green lands.
We hear there is a private sit-out area too where you can spend the day playing carom with your partner or just indulging yourself in a good book.
Anjee's chalet is spacious enough to accommodate about 14 people in its three bedrooms. The prices are slightly steep, starting at INR 15,000 per night for the entire villa. However, considering its location and features, we don't mind spending our money on it.
Anjee's Chalet is close to a number of tourist sights like Bhimshankar Hills, Kondane Caves, farmer's market and more. Make sure you check these out.

On our daily visits to the villages we saw many people who needed help. Most needed a change in diet others in lifestyle and still others needed to hear about Jesus.
Here is a shot of Nola (Missionary from Australia) befriending a little Hmong girl who seemed to be cared for by a lot of the villagers. That was real neat to see.

Hussein’s Story is a brief re-telling of the time I spent in Aleppo, Syria in 2009 with a young homeless boy I was fortunate enough to meet and spend some time with. Issues of youth homelessness, abuse and military conscription arose during our conversations. The piece was published on November 7, 2009 on the Window Dresser’s Arms, a great online space filled with robust opinion, great writing and fantastic satire.
It was the middle of summer, the middle of Ramadan, most of the country was fasting, all of the country was thirsty and there was not a drink in sight for miles. “It’s so bloody hot!” I said aloud, as my friend and I trudged wearily beneath the 40 degree Syrian sky towards the ancient citadel in Aleppo.
Parched, we arrived and quickly found refuge in the shade of one of its giant walls, “there he is again,” I said, pointing to a little boy we had seen the day before. His big eyes seemed to be overflowing with an unquenchable sadness as they followed our every move.
He once again walked sheepishly back and forth, just as he had done the previous day, as if he was studying us as part of a school project – all the while, never taking his gaze off us.
He tentatively made his way closer and finally perched himself on the wall beside us. “Hi, my name is Hussein,” he said in Arabic, as a smile broke his solemn stare and lit up his now bright face.
We sat talking to Hussein for some hours, he was a skinny little thing and looked about eight years old, although he assured us he was 11. His tiny hands were covered in dirt all the way up to his long fingernails which were stained red from henna, his shirt and trousers were as dusty as the hot surrounding landscape and in need of a good wash, but despite his circumstances he seemed overjoyed to just sit and talk.
“Where do you live?” we asked, he told us he lived in a house and pointed vaguely towards the city.
“There are eight of us in my family, but I didn’t go home last night, I slept out here under the stars,” he said with a grin. Hussein later told us that he had run away from home and hadn’t been back for a long time, so every night he was on his own.
Hussein lives on the streets along with a motley crew of other young vagabonds and runaways, but he is different, not like the rest of them, who, as we sat, darted in and out of conversation – little Hussein possesses a strength of character and integrity the likes of which some people take years to acquire.
He began to tell us that he had been subject to some kind of medical operation, or something else which he didn’t really want to talk about, the meaning of which was either lost in translation or obscured by embarrassment and shame. I can only imagine that it must have been something of a terrible nature to make him run away.
At that point a man on a bicycle rode up and angrily chased Hussein off as if he were nothing more than a stray dog, to which Hussein responded and darted off at top speed. The man saw that we were foreigners and thought that he could sneak a quick cigarette with us away from the prying eyes of the rest of the people who were fasting during Ramadan. “Be careful of these street kids,” the man said gruffly, “they will try to trick you and steal form you.” He nervously finished his cigarette and went on his way. “If only he would talk to some of these kids and give them a chance, maybe he would learn a thing or two,” I thought to myself.
Not a moment had gone by when Hussein’s smiling face returned, he asked if we would like to come and see his garden and led the way to a small patch of grass behind a nearby mosque.
It was getting late and was time for us to go, we said our goodbyes but Hussein didn’t want to leave us, his big eyes became foggy and it seemed that a tear would strike his cheek at any moment.
“Are you hungry?” We asked. “No, no I have already eaten,” he told us. But we insisted and invited him to join us for dinner, again he declined saying that he had eaten a sandwich sometime earlier, today? Yesterday? He wouldn’t say. Finally the promise of an ice cold Pepsi was too good to resist and we all made our way up to one of the local restaurants.
We were a sight for sore eyes, little Hussein, my Italian friend Daniele and my unkempt Aussie self, quite the unusual trio. Curiosity got the better of all the waiters, other patrons and even the manager, but nevertheless we were seated and treated to a lovely meal, the waiters and manager giving special attention to our young friend.
We asked Hussein if he went to school, he said that he didn’t want to because if he completed his school diploma he would be sent into military service. I couldn’t believe that at such a young age Hussein was already worried of being sent into the military and would forgo any form of education just to escape it. Most other kids of his age are only concerned with playing soccer, the latest Playstation game and watching TV.
Conscription is a dread that faces every young male here, it reminded me of a conversation I’d had the night before with a young man who worked at the hotel we were staying at. “It is one of the toughest armies in the world, some people die just in the training – I really don’t want to go, it takes two years of your life away from you. The only good thing about it is that you go into the military like a mouse and if you survive, you come out as strong as a lion,” he said.
We urged Hussein to go back to school, and told him the importance of a good education and the opportunities that lay ahead for him if he studied hard. He said he didn’t know what he wanted to do when he grew up, but agreed none the less to go back to school and try.
With a full belly and a smile from ear to ear it was once again time to go. After a strong handshake from such a small hand he looked up at us, smiled and slipped away into the night. I stood and watched as his tiny figure disappeared into the darkness, wondering if I will ever see him again.
Adoption crossed my mind many times as I walked home, “Where is UNICEF? Where is Save the Children?” I thought to myself.
God only knows what will happen to little Hussein and the countless others like him, for my part, I will do all I can to make it back to Aleppo to check up on my new little friend as often as possible.
