Motorola, a mobile phone producer, said it will purchase the United Kingdom’s TTP Communications (TTPCom), a provider of software and chip technologies for mobiles, for approximately $192 million in cash, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The company is to pay roughly 84 cents per TTPCom share, and according to analysts, Motorola is particularly interested in TTPCom’s AJAR mobile operating system, which is currently employed in a variety of phones, the Journal reports. The operating system supports second- and third-generation handsets, according to the Journal.
Cambridge, U.K.-based TTPCom currently employs about 575 people, and it will remain in its present headquarters following the planned acquisition with Rob Shaddock, chief technology officer for Motorola’s mobile-devices group, at the helm, the Journal reports.

Sorry for silence – I was interstate for work (and with James Brown for company).
By CD number three, JB has got almost too funky for his own good.
This album is a fiesta of multi-movement pieces. Five out of the 14 tracks clock in at over 5 mins, 4 at over 7 mins. The man has moved beyond normal pop song constraints into a world of musical mastery. This is the foundations on which the lunacy and other worldness of Parliament and Funkadelic (I guess that’s the Bootsy Collins connection).
His band is just outstanding, responding to his commands, understanding his various grunts and signals, and laying down grooves that rise and full and bubble along in such a timeless fashion. The horns are sharp, fast and sexy. Again, this is rich pickings for samplers wanting an infectious hook.
Sorry Andy, I do think Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine is Brown’s true masterpiece, and it sits perfectly here between Funky Drummer and Super Bad (Parts 1 & 2). But let’s have some dialogue here. Which do you all prefer?
Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine
In a race I would back Disc 2 as slightly more diverse than this volume, but you won’t find too much to complain about here.
File under: Jump back and kiss yourself
Our journey through the Brown box set continues…
When we left James he was busy editing down Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag. This album kicks off with the 2.08 min single version, which is hard to fault. Then into I Got You (I Feel Good). Can it get any better?
Not for a little while… but it doesn’t drop off too much. Money Wont Change You shows how much the underlying music is now dominating relative to (ad-libbed) vocals. The “huh!!” is becoming more and more prevalent and the band is getting funkier every song…
As the vocals become less important, it can become harder to remember which tune is which. But each of these tracks is a dancefloor winner. The back-t0-back pairing of Cold Sweat and Get It Together is about the best 16 minutes of jamming you are likely to ever hear.
The pace and fun is relentless. This is even better than Disk 1 and James seems unstoppable. Say It Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud stands as a testament to read the market and mood perfectly too. Give It Up or Turn It a Loose demonstrates that lyrics have almost passed their use-by date.
Just keep playing this CD til you can dance no more…
File under: Get down with your bad self
Oh, another reviewing protocol dilemma. This box set showcasing James Brown’s career could be reviewed as a single item, but it is effectively 4 distinct CDs, so I’m treating them as such…
I chased up this collection after reading about in a fantastic history of Funk book. It was heralded as the definitive collection from the Godfather of Soul.And it is pure gold.
The box set is pretty much in chronological order, so you can see the evolution of Brown’s sound. Disk 1 encompasses the most substantial transformation. On the early tracks he is very much in the soul world, with sweet singing, do-wops and the like. The tunes could just as easily come from anyone across the Motown, Chess etc world.
It’s all cute and catchy, but it only gives a hint of the huge leap Brown was about to make. By I’ll Go Crazy, the beats and bass are starting to take over, and Brown’s vocals are taking on a more rhythmic role. Think sees us well and truly in the new world of funk. We start to hear basslines, horn riffs and the like that sound very, very familar. That’s because they would later become the most sampled sounds in hip-hop.
This is wonderful and captivating stuff. The CD closes out with a great 6:56 minute long 3-part version of Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag which was edited down to make his classic single. This version is better and even groovier.
Brown was a true icon and this CD starts to show us why.

How appropriate that this blog should hit triple figures with a killer release that so confidently swaggers through the rock’n’roll oeuvre.
This album sees Dan Brodie delivering on his promise. He hardly takes a wrong step.
The opening track is flawless – slow vocal-heavy intro cataloguing the status of his family members and his own trials with the bottle, a plea to Jesus Try and Save Me, drums kick in, addition of important rider to title “(from myself)”. This CD is the one where Brodie transforms from Ryan Adams clone to the next Steve Earle. It’s all tales of a slightly lawless life on road breaking hearts and facing inevitable reciprocity.
Take a Bullet is even better and should have been a huge hit. He probably didn’t do himself any favours with this video (which muddies up the mix in the name of art – but also captures my typical reaction when hearing it – i.e. singing along):
In searching for that vid I found one of his first album which is better (and in a century-acknowledging indulgence I have added it into yesterday’s review)
This clips a ripper though:
There are several more stand out tracks on this album and I cannot recommend it highly enough. As a sad footnote, I awaited his next release with much hop, attended the CD launch and was mightily disappointed. He went all soft and MOR and he won no custom from me.
File under: Brylcreemed bluesy rock brilliance
I had a big soft spot for the work on Dan Brodie for several years. He was a bit of an outlier on the Melbourne pub scene, strongly wedded to a country-blues ethos.
This was his first full-length release, and does a reasonable job of capturing his life persona, although the recording leaves a bit of the energy and rawness out.
Brodie could be described as the Aussie Ryan Adams, as he shows enormous passion for the roots of country-rock, and also portrays a life filled with misadventures in love. Brodie lacks some of Adams’ songwriting acumen, but also a whole lot less of the pretension. His tales are very likable and honest.
The title track is a good rollicking life tale (of following in his dad’s musical footsteps). Ride On is the rockingest effort and presages his greater confidence and where’s his strengths really lie – in almost Hank Williams-esque honky tonk.
There are a few too many forgettable tracks on here for this be a real fave, but Brodie certainly showed a lot of promise.
Here’s the standout track in thigh-slapping living colour (yeeeeehaaaaa):
File under: A rising star
This is the only CD I own from US wunderkind wordsmith Conor Oberst. In many ways, he’s a shares a lot with Will Oldham, burdened as he is with a warbly voice and a penchant for multiple band names. He is much more palatable however, with less idiosyncrasies in delivery plus Teenbeat good looks (so you’re much more likely to see him on tele and splashed across the magazine pages). Hence his much great success.
His fanbase is a refreshing outcome, as his work is not overly immediate. This album, for example, is a ‘grower’, filled with little tales that benefit from multiple listens. Oberst sings in such a fashion that you want to understand him and share his experience. There is biting satire and pithy commentary in amongst it all.
The underlying orchestration feels eerily familiar. He’s treading very similar ground to other ‘sway and swoon’ type efforts from Neko Case and Martha Wainwright. It is a damn effective genre, as long as you’re willing to listen hard.
Intriguingly, this album came out at the same time as an ‘electronic’ album by the same crew. I’ll have to chase it up to hear the contrast.
File under: Subtle but effective
This album is an old fave, and has had many, many spins over the years. Indeed last year it got a good airing as I warmed up for viewing said act as they toured Australia again.
This, for mine, is by far the best post-Pixies effort from any member of said indie legends (it doesn’t have that much opposition really).
I like the contrast on this album. There is a strong sense of urgency – like the band wants to tell you everything at once. Even the gaps between tracks are short. But somehow, there is also a relaxed chilled out, almost Hawaiian vibe.
The stand out track is, of course, Cannonball, an incredibly distinctive composition which rolls over itself in such an evocative manner. The rumbling bass and drums, and non-conventional song structure always makes me smile. There is so much more to love here: I Just Wanna Get Along, Divine Hammer, Drivin’ On…
Seeing them last year made me happy… the Deal sisters were as whacky and inspired as always. Good times.

So, after 96 reviews in 103 days (so not quite one a day), I have finished the first row on CD rack #1…
For those of you with CSI quality ‘zoom and enhance’ technology, you may be able to see what’s coming up next in the pic to your left (although the CDs have been reshelved slightly since that photo shoot).
So we’re 1/4 of the way through rack #1. The other rack has 11 rows but they are only 5/6ths of the capacity. And then there’s the LPs too…
This is a marathon folks…
We travelled a long way from Bragg to Breather Hole. These guys are much more at the arty end of the musical spectrum. Its not quite aTap-esque ‘free-form jazz exploration’, but there a huge dollop of self-indulgence and ‘musicality’. Thankfully there is enough listener-awareness to deliver something that hasn’t completely disappeared up the band members’ back orifices.
That sort of crude expression does give some taste of the material here. This CD shares something with the early work of The Headless Chickens (before they got all dancefloor oriented). Slightly shouty vocals over excessive bass action. It’s almost stream of consciousness stuff.
Having looped this CD for the past few hours, I can say that it starts to sink in and doesn’t grate too much. The Grandpa Simpson-like ranting on Fishing is worth a listen.
Oh, and one final comment about the cover. It might not be clear from the picture, but it features ‘scratchy’ pics. Nice gimmick, and even after all these years, I haven’t scratched them all off. I guess I’m holding out for the band members to go on to huge things and my copy becoming some collectors’ item… not sure I should bank on this to fund my retirement however…
File under: Not bad noodliness
And thus we come to the final installment of our Bragg-fest.
This is a live set recorded at a festival in 1993 (and bought around 1995 from the merch desk at the last Bragg show I attended). And I would consider this a rarity among my live CDs in that it is pretty listenable, and also strongly representative of the reasons why I’ve enjoyed most of the Bragg gigs I’ve seen.
The sound is very, very live. There appears to have been little to no post-production. Billy’s vocals are way up front in the mix, and his between song banter is included.
The format of the set is a plus. He opens with four solo tunes strumming his guitar, including the almighty A Lover Sings. The band tracks are nowhere near as overblown as his studio efforts, and the energy levels are engaging. He even covers a Wedding Parties Anything tune (Ship in My Harbour). The two encores are just as you’d expect – laden with hits – The Price I Pay, Levi Stubbs Tears and more.
I recommend this album as a nice insight into why Bragg was such a live favourite amongst many.

Actually, in this context ‘same as the old boss’ would be a comfort. To me, at least, if not the folks who made such a hullabaloo over the PATRIOT Act; I’m not worried about the government abusing its authority so much as I worry about it making an utter hash of its attempt to try to use it. But of course said ‘abuse’ was not the least common election-year theme – usually in the context of how things would change, once the Republicans weren’t running things. And usually argued by people who really should have known better.
Which is why I’m more amused than anything else about this:
Attorney General Eric Holder endorsed the Senate’s version of legislation that would extend three provisions of the Patriot Act that are slated to expire at the end of the year.
Holder wrote in a letter today to Senate Judiciary Committee members that he offers “strong support” for the USA Patriot Act Sunset Extension Act, which would reauthorize the “lone wolf,” records and “roving wiretap” powers. By contrast, a House version of the bill would not continue the “lone wolf” provision, which lets the government track targets who don’t have any discernible affiliation with terrorist or other foreign groups.
…although I admit that I’m kind of curious of which member of the current ruling party thought that it was a good idea to hamper lone wolf surveillance. The timing for that seems… suboptimal.

Pipe relining is a great, relatively new method of ensuring that the pipes in your home or commercial building are in great condition now and in the future. This technique provides a variety of benefits that other options do not, and is fast becoming the service of choice for people throughout Australia who need their pipes fixed.
Let’s take a look at why relining is the better option in comparison to repairing.
It’s gentler on your wallet
Relining is by far the simpler solution when it comes to ensuring your pipes are in top shape, which means that it requires less plumbing professional and less man hours to complete. Plus, as the name suggests, your pipes will be relined rather than repaired, so your garden won’t be dug up in order to access them, saving you a bundle of cash in re-landscaping fees. All in all, it’s the far more cost-effective choice for those looking for a great solution on a budget.
It’s far more time efficient
No one likes waiting around for days on end as the plumber’s finish dig up old pipes, repair them and leave you to deal with the mess. With relining, most jobs take just one day at most, meaning that you can fit it into your busy schedule with ease. The convenience that it brings to the table makes relining the far more realistic option for those who are trying to juggle a million different responsibilities at once.
The quality of service is far better
As pipe relining is an innovative technique making use of the newest technology, its results are far superior to that of older methods. This means that you can feel more confident in the amount of time that the solution will last for. In fact, relining has proven to be more resilient against the most damaging forces that sewer systems face. Ultimately, you receive better value for your money when you choose a relining service.
It’s a long-term solution
Relining ensures that your pipes are completely restored as much as possible, with a 50-year guarantee backing them up. This means that you most likely won’t need to have the service done again – ever. This kind of reassurance cannot be found with other solutions, which is why so many people are choosing it over more traditional options.

Farm Bill Deadline Looms | VideoJessica Roose | 9/20/2012
Many North Dakotans want to know, will a new farm bill be passed before the current one expires on September 30?
Unfortunately, it looks like that answer is going to be no.
"When we move past the first of the year, that puts the bill in great jeopardy. It`s very likely that there would be deep, deep additional cuts to it," said Democratic House Candidate Pam Gulleson.
The Senate was able to pass it`s version of the bill with bipartisan support in June. Since the bill came to the house, it hasn`t even made it to the floor.
"Club for growth and the tea party decided that they don`t want a Farm Bill. They don`t think that`s where we should be spending money in this country and I so philosophically disagree with them," Gulleson said.
Her Republican opponent, Kevin Cramer, says it`s not the groups, but it has to do with the larger and more diverse body in the House as opposed to the Senate.
"You can blame all kinds of groups but there are 435 members of Congress who are representative of their constituents back home."
Cramer says he`s hopeful something can be passed during the lame duck session after the election. If not, he plans to get to work right away in January if elected.
"I would spend every ounce of political capitol that I can collect for the good of the state of North Dakota and the farm bill would be a pretty major part of that."
Gulleson says her plan if elected would be to build a coalition and educate urban members about the importance of the bill for food security.
The Speaker of the House, John Boehner announced this afternoon that the house will address the Farm Bill this year, after the election.

The name “intrepid campers” refers to people who are adventurous, brave, and fearless when it comes to camping and outdoor activities. They are typically unafraid to explore the wilderness, take risks, and face challenges that come with outdoor living, such as unpredictable weather conditions, wildlife encounters, and physical demands. These individuals are often well-prepared with the necessary gear and skills to navigate and survive in the great outdoors of Australia or Africa.
I would call myself an outdoor enthusiast looking for adventures and have worked in Windhoek Namibia until 1994 and have travelled the South of Africa over 6 long years (working at the DHPS – one of the oldest German Schools in the world).
Having retired now as a High School Teacher in North Germany, I have lived at the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia since 2012.
From 1998 until 2005 I lived in Brisbane QLD and worked for Education Queensland and the German Goethe – Institut in the function of the German Language Adviser being on leave in Lower Saxony Germany for 7 years.
Intrepid Campers – Website – Company
Active Campers Website – Company
“Active campers” refers to people who enjoy camping and outdoor activities that involve physical exertion and movement. They may participate in activities such as hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, kayaking, and other similar pursuits. They enjoy exploring and experiencing nature through physical activity and may seek out destinations that offer opportunities for adventure and challenge.
While “intrepid campers” may also engage in these activities, the term specifically implies a sense of fearlessness and willingness to take risks. In contrast, “active campers” may simply enjoy the physical and mental benefits of outdoor activities without necessarily seeking out the most extreme challenges.
With my best wishes from the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia

Duet for bass and Contrabass trombones... Really fun - thats about it - we unpacked these suckers as part of a trade show and naturally had to test if they worked....They did - but I didnt on the contra - but ahh hey its funny playing jazz on it.
Its kinda our rendition of Tuxedo Junction for those that keep asking...


When you really think about it, the fact that the civilized world bottles and sells water to consumers is mind boggling. Companies have somehow tricked the world into buying something that for the entirety of human existence has always been free. But what is even more mind boggling than the sale of water? The sale of air!
That is exactly what is happening in Beijing, China, in the face of dangerously high levels of pollution in the air. What started out as a joke with a Ziplock bag full of air sold on Ebay for 99 cents has turned into a profitable business, with the company Vitality Air’s canned oxygen selling like hotcakes in the clean-air-starved cities.
An initial shipment of 500 bottles sold in four days and the company has already prepared and shipped an additional 4,000.
Before you know it, we will have cans of all sorts of air on our grocery store shelves. From mountain breezes, to salty ocean wind, to crisp arctic gusts, everyone will have their favorites.
We will all forget about the time when air was as free as the water…er…dirt…er… actually, air was the final frontier, here. Commercialism and a consumer-driven culture means that now literally anything is for sale!
Oh, the future.

You don’t make others feel better about themselves by shrinking yourself down or by belittling what you do or by making fun of yourself. There are many ways to empower others and help them feel better about themselves without trashing your own self.
You don’t make someone feel beautiful by calling yourself ugly. You don’t make someone feel successful by declaring yourself a failure. You don’t boost someone’s confidence by making them feel like they are so much better than you. You don’t make people feel good about their lives by talking about how much yours sucks — this is not the right way to make anyone feel good about themselves, even if your intentions are noble. And you need to know and acknowledge this.
You need to know that you don’t have to hide your accomplishments or success in order to make sure that someone else gets their own achievements shown. This is not the way to let someone feel better. You might think you’re doing a good thing, but you’re not. You’re not empowering them this way, because this is not the right way to empower someone. Moreover, you’re even hurting your own self.
This is not about you, this is about them. If you want to empower someone or make them feel good about themselves, you need to focus on them and not you. You need to make sure that you emphasize and help them pay attention to all their great qualities, rather than constantly trying to create a mindset that they need to see themselves as better than others in order to feel better.
You need to know that empowering others and helping them feel better never means that you should make yourself look worse or feel less about yourself. You need to understand that there are better ways to do so than this, and know that this is not the right or healthy way to do so.

Shower Tea Sandwiches
The cream-cheese spreads are used as the the base for each of the sandwiches.
- 3 one-pound loaves white sandwich bread, preferably unsliced
- Wasabi, Salmon, and Lemon Cream Cheeses
- Tea-Poached Chicken
- 1 large seedless cucumber (14 ounces), very thinly sliced
- 1/2 pound sliced smoked salmon
- 2 1/2 ounces fresh salmon roe
- 1 ounce black (or other color) caviar, optional
- 3 to 4 ounces baby leaf lettuce, such as mâche, mizuma, shiso leaves, and sprouts
- 1 bunch fresh dill
- 1 bunch fresh chives
- 2 to 3 tablespoons black sesame seeds
- 2 to 3 tablespoons white sesame seeds
Trim crusts. Slice bread into 1/2-inchthick pieces; each loaf should yield ten to twelve slices. Spread each slice with cream-cheese spread. Arrange ingredients on bread in decorative patterns. Sandwiches look best with chicken, cucumbers, and salmon arranged along edges of bread, overlapping slightly. Trim edges in straight lines, cutting through both bread and ingredients to leave clean edges on all sides (for ideas, see photos page 106). Make salmon sandwiches first, reserving trimmings for salmon cream cheese to use on other sandwiches. Tuck small green leaves in between layers. Keep sandwiches covered with damp cloth until serving. Refrigerate if not serving right away. Sandwiches are best eaten within 2 to 3 hours.

Las Vegas’ Energy of this Strip – Including a Vacation resort to the power of the Remove
Resorts World NEVADA is a mega holiday resort and modern casino under construction right on the Las Vegas Strip at Hollywood Boulevard, Nevada, USA. The proposed web-site has been the usual site from the Stardust Motel and Gambling house before 2021, when Boyd Games destroyed the old resort complex to develop its Echelon Spot complex. Right now the Resort Globe is aiming to be the first casino/hotel organic in NEVADA to feature one of the biggest gambles ramps on the planet. So when its development progresses, the hotel aspires to rival the locations in Las Vegas with more than 3 hundred and sixty-five bedrooms, a two-storey-tower leading gambling house tower, a seven-story pool area, an eighty-two-room motel with multiple dining establishments and shops, and an enormous leisure organic.
Regardless of the scale from the project, it will still be the biggest expansion plan in the annals of NEVADA. And, based on the project’s manager John Feffer, who oversees the job, “The opportunity for great NEVADA vacations and Las Vegas weddings just got larger.” But despite the scale in the project, there are still some important concerns that have certainly not been answered, particularly if the project can achieve its original fiscal and architectural ambitions, just how long would the Holiday resort World try build up, and would any negative effects on adjoining neighborhoods turn out to be tolerable. They are some preliminary queries that have plagued the project since its inception. Some people near the site, however, have welcomed the project, calling the new lodge “a breath of fresh air,” introducing that it will bring much-needed connection to the previously busy stretch with the Vegas Strip. Plus some occupants and elected officials include criticized the job for what they look at inadequate environmental affect examination.
The initial intent with the Resort World was initially to provide an outlet for all that excess energy out there by building a series of hotels on the strip. As reported by Feffer, that method has changed rather, by adding a second accommodation on the south end and a fresh shopping and eating complex over the northwest spot of the existing strip’s advantage. In its existing incarnation, the Strip’s future is still far from clear, especially as Las Vegas considers how best to capitalize on its developing casino industry. But while the question still continues to be, will the task spur progress on another casinos across the strip, some residents on the edge of town own welcomed the idea, arguing that it’ll provide a means of linking the region to the others of downtown. Whether that tactic will pan out continues to be to be observed, but a very important factor is for certain: Even if it generally does not, the Resort World’s impending introduction will mark the biggest expansion in the history of Las Vegas.
The first phase on the Resort World task would consist of a tower at the border of town that would rise nearly seven-hundred feet into the air, attracting in thousands of tourists every day to its observation deck. By starting the doors to the 1.3 million square-foot motel on the Strip, Feffer envisions a bustling commercial center which will compete with the existing centers of Las Vegas and other gambling meccas spread over the nation. According to Feffer, the tower’s excellent objective isn’t to lure running a business – rather, the aim is to welcome “the first period of gentrification around the strip.”
Probably one of the most notable features of the planned hotel room tower can be its place. It’s established against a location of the town referred to as South Vegas Boulevard, which includes experienced generations of neglect and is currently a target of what city planners call up “urban renewal.” The effect is an array of high-rise condos and hotels which are, in many ways, a whole reversal 예스카지노 with the fortunes enjoyed by Las Vegas strip in the past half-century. By creating what could possibly be seen as a literal barrier between the brand-new South Vegas remove and the others of downtown, Feffer dreams to attract even more hotel guests for the hotel and to help financing the project, which is estimated to expense up to $4 billion.
The timing for such a project, then, will become more than clear: after all, as Feffer highlights, there’s already a whole lot occurring in Vegas. “You could have shows opening, you may have shows closing, you might have parties going on,” he says. The only thing still left for him to accomplish now is to make certain that the new vacation resort he’s building, one that will remain alongside the soon-to-be renowned Las Vegas Remove, gets built and opened up by the time the casino gates open on April 7th, the first official day on the Playing Renaissance.
In the mean time, the rest of the world prepares with the annual Gambling More event. The yearly event, held every year during mid-February, brings together some of the biggest brands in Las Vegas tourism, the gambling industry, and the city’s business and financial market leaders for the week-long feast of get together, networking, and self-indulgence. And with this year’s agenda, there’s one more major destination: the great opening of a fresh mega-resort byrium over the Las Vegas Strip. The hotel room itself promises all of the glitz and glamour that make Las Vegas the title city for casino-hotels, but additionally offers a decidedly metropolitan flavor to the blissful luxury resort atmosphere that’s been so meticulously cultivated by its transplants in the united states. Just like the Strip, these accommodations are being built as part of what the city’s architects call up a “superblocks” project; an idea that brings together not only existing casino buildings but also new accommodations and apartment complexes in an effort to create a genuinely mixed-income, mixed-use environment.
With its mix of intense heat and the initial connection with high-end luxury, the brand new resort, which is opening in late spring, promises to be a major hit. Even though it isn’t widely known outside the gaming community (which is why Feffer’s book hasn’t built a dent), the actual energy of the project may be the key to revitalizing what’s turn into a seriously-depressed part of Todas las Vegas’ real estate market. And given the success of such high-profile projects like the Paris Las Vegas Hotel, some market observers believe the continuing future of Las Vegas could very well see another key tourist draw, this time around in the form of a new hotel room. “We’ve witnessed it just before in Europe, and we’re planning on it once again in NEVADA,” predicts Feffer.

During a failed prison break, 20 women were brutally raped in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) late Sunday. During a botched escape attempt from a prison in Goma, ex-militia members allegedly violently attacked 20 female inmates and killed two guards after they failed to break through the prison's walls to escape. The offending prisoners were mostly from death row, sentenced for "murder, rape and other grave offences," according to IRIN.
According to the Canadian Press, the prison was built to hold 150, but currently houses over 600 inmates.
UN chief Ban Ki-moo said, "I am deeply distressed by the rape and assault of about 20 female inmates during an attempted escape from Goma's central prison," in a statement to Agence France Presse."This a grim example of both the prison conditions and the level of sexual violence that plagues the DRC."
Since the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo began in 1998, tens of thousands of women and girls have been raped in sexual violence widely viewed to be a war tactic. Thousands of Congolese women marched in Kinshasa late last year to protest rape as a weapon of war. According to the Daily Nation, humanitarian groups have estimated that between 400 to over 1,000 rapes occurred in the eastern part of the country alone during just the first three months of this year.

The Racial Masochism Of The Left
This is extraordinary:
You hear of this sometimes in Europe: liberals and progressives hesitant to report physical violence committed against them by migrants, because they don't want to subject the person who raped, robbed, or beat them to a supposedly racist criminal justice system. For example, in 2016, a left-wing German politician was raped by migrants, but admitted later to lying to police about the identity of her rapists, because she didn't want to make life harder for migrants.
What kind of sick ideology trains people like the politician, or the brutalized convenience store clerk above, to at some level accept that they deserve to be raped, beaten, and assaulted because their assailants are of a Sacred Minority? This is what the woke left wants. Don't believe me? On the first day of school this semester, a Denver high school showed this video to its students, a clip produced by scholar-activists at Barnard College in NYC, in which people are urged not to call the police if their attacker is a minority, because Justice:
This is what drives me crazy about decent, well-meaning folks like David Brooks being appalled by the smashmouth racism of Los Angeles Hispanic politicians who were secretly recorded. This all-race-all-the-time thinking is fundamental to the woke (that is, the illiberal) Left today! They've been mainstreaming it for years. What do people think Critical Race Theory is, if not for establishing different standards of justice based on race?
Get daily emails in your inbox
Where does the Left and all its institutional allies -- which is to say, every major institution in American life -- plan to go with this? Do they really believe that all whites, Asians, and Latinos can be trained to accept brutality from black criminals? Do they really think that America itself is Barnard College? So far, they haven't had any real pushback, so maybe they do.
This is what happens when you abandon classically liberal concepts of justice. This is what happens when you Kendify and DiAngelize policy and discourse. When the backlash comes, it's going to be quite ugly. Understand right now that it will be 100 percent the fault of the Left. As Kangmin Lee says in his conclusion to this short thread:

The DBT Skills Group is founded on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). This therapy was invented by Marsha Linehan, a psychologist, and is based on traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for the treatment of chronically suicidal/self injurious persons who suffer from borderline personality disorder (BPD). Dr. Linehan’s modifications to CBT were inspired by her own struggles with BPD and insights gained by successfully living with the condition. Her work resulted in the development of a novel and creative approach to therapy that many are finding to be helpful and successful in treating their symptoms.
Standard DBT may involve the use of a number of different types of psychosocial therapies (i.e. individual psychotherapy, phone consultations, group skills training, etc.) Any or all may be used as part of the DBT treatment. DBT differs from CBT mainly in the emphasis on validation. It is used as a powerful tool. The therapist and the patient work towards an acceptance of uncomfortable thoughts, feelings and/or behaviors rather than exhausting all their energy trying to struggle with them.
Once a thought, feeling or behavior is identified and validated, the process towards change no longer seems impossible. Goals for a gradual change leading to eventual transformation can be seen as a reality rather than an unattainable ideal. DBT also focuses on developing coping skills or specific behavioral techniques that can be used to fight disabling symptoms.
New Adaptations DBT Skills Group meets regularly and focuses on group skills training in combination with developing real life coping skills to combat symptoms of mental illness.
DBT treatments can be effective in treating individuals with a multitude of different disorders. If you are interested in finding out if the New Adaptations DBT Skills Group would be beneficial for you or a loved one, contact Lynn Brimhall, LCSW, today.

Part of the appeal of PlayerUnknown's BattleGrounds is its aura of gritty, cinematic hyper-realism, and the smash hit video game has partnered with South Korean software company Minkonet to empower players in creating their own cinema. The new 3D replay feature for PUBG lets players look back through their playing history after dying to create dynamic, multi-shot replays of their most impressive moments.
What sets Minkonet's system apart from a standard replay system is that it allows players to move the camera at will. PUBG is a first-person shooter, but players aren't restricted to that first-person view when creating their replays. Not only does this create the potential for action movie-grade footage, but it also helps players to analyze their games more thoroughly, ultimately improving the strategies and tactics that the virtual gunners employ.

Its good to give...
Hi, I am Izzy O'Reilly and I am Emma and Ian's daughter. I am 13 years old and for 2 years now I have been collecting food and other items for homeless people, rough sleepers and armed forces veterans that have fallen on hard times. In two years with your generous help we have managed to raise over £7000 which has fed many hungry mouths and helped many a person sleeping on the streets. There are many reasons why people are living rough and a lot of support is needed to get someone off the street and back under a roof, what i am trying to do is fill the gap whilst the right support can be offered. Its not just food that is needed but gloves and warm clothing as well, my aim is to put together as many items as possible in an emergency street hamper which include some or all of the following:
Gloves and items of warm clothing (socks and jumpers)
Ready to eat protein rich meals
Chocolate and protein snacks
Hygiene Wipes and tissues
Dog food (yes. some homeless people have a dog)
These emergency packages are distributed in East Lancashire by volunteers and are lifelines for many but we never have enough and there is always potentially someone that misses out, I really do need your help...
You can really help me by clicking on the Just Giving link at checkout and selecting a gift amount that I can then turn into some much needed help. Thank you, your help really makes a difference to someone's life...

There’s an important new appointment over at the Institute of Education Sciences. The agency announced last week that University of Pennsylvania researcher Rebecca Maynard will be the new commissioner of its National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance. Read all about it here.
This is a key post because NCEE will be helping to lead the evaluation of all the funding programs launched by the U.S. Department of Education with stimulus dollars from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Formerly headed by Phoebe Cottingham, the center also oversees the 10 regional education laboratories, which IES director John Easton has said are due for an overhaul soon.
Currently a professor of education and social policy at UPenn, Maynard has a national reputation as a distinguished scholar. But she’s also no stranger to IES. She directed one of the postdoctoral training programs for budding researchers that the department funds and also played role in helping to shape the What Works Clearinghouse. Her appointment takes effect today.

Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn, who is nearing completion of his action drama film ‘Singham Returns’, says that the film has been an action- packed journey.
The film, a sequel to 2011 hit film ‘Singham’, also stars actress Kareena Kapoor Khan in a pivotal role.
The cast and crew have shot a majority portion of the film in Goa and have now shifted their base to Hyderabad, presumably the Ramoji Film city.
— Ajay Devgn (@ajaydevgn) June 22, 2014
Ramoji is one of India’s biggest film city and ideal for action sequences. Director Rohit Shetty has previously shot for action sequences of ‘Singham, Golmaal’ and his other films in the area.
‘Singham Returns’ is a continuation of the story of an honest police officer played by Ajay Devgn in 2011. ‘Singham Returns’ is slated to release in August next year.

Relationships in a workplace can range from someone you say hello to almost daily without knowing her or his name, to an acquaintance in another department, to your best friend that you go on vacations with. We’ve already learned that proximity plays an important role in determining our relationships, and most of us will spend much of our time at work in proximity to and sharing tasks with particular people. However, we do not become friends with all our coworkers.
As with other relationships, perceived similarity and self-disclosure play important roles in workplace relationship formation. Most coworkers are already in close proximity, but they may break down into smaller subgroups based on department, age, or even whether or not they are partnered or have children.Patricia M. Sias, “Workplace Relationship Quality and Employee Information Experiences,”Communication Studies 56, no. 4 (2005): 379. As individuals form relationships that extend beyond being acquaintances at work, they become peer coworkers. A peer coworker relationship refers to a workplace relationship between two people who have no formal authority over the other and are interdependent in some way. This is the most common type of interpersonal workplace relationship, given that most of us have many people we would consider peer coworkers and only one supervisor.Patricia M. Sias, “Workplace Relationship Quality and Employee Information Experiences,”Communication Studies 56, no. 4 (2005): 379.
Peer coworkers can be broken down into three categories: information, collegial, and special peers.Patricia M. Sias, “Workplace Relationship Quality and Employee Information Experiences,”Communication Studies 56, no. 4 (2005): 379. Information peers communicate about work-related topics only, and there is a low level of self-disclosure and trust. These are the most superficial of the peer coworker relationships, but that doesn’t mean they are worthless. Almost all workplace relationships start as information peer relationships. As noted, information exchange is an important part of workplace relationships, and information peers can be very important in helping us through the day-to-day functioning of our jobs. We often form information peers with people based on a particular role they play within an organization. Communicating with a union representative, for example, would be an important information-based relationship for an employee. Collegial peers engage in more self-disclosure about work and personal topics and communicate emotional support. These peers also provide informal feedback through daily conversations that help the employee develop a professional identity.Patricia M. Sias, Organizing Relationships: Traditional and Emerging Perspectives on Workplace Relationships (Los Angeles, CA: Sage, 2009), 61. In an average-sized workplace, an employee would likely have several people they consider collegial peers. Special peers have high levels of self-disclosure with relatively few limitations and are highly interdependent in terms of providing emotional and professional support for one another.K. E. Kram and L. A. Isabella, “Mentoring Alternatives: The Role of Peer Relationships in Career Development,” Academy of Management Journal 28, no. 20 (1985): 110–32. Special peer relationships are the rarest and mirror the intimate relationships we might have with a partner, close sibling, or parent. As some relationships with information peers grow toward collegial peers, elements of a friendship develop.
Even though we might not have a choice about whom we work with, we do choose who our friends at work will be. Coworker relationships move from strangers to friends much like other friendships. Perceived similarity may lead to more communication about workplace issues, which may lead to self-disclosure about non-work-related topics, moving a dyad from acquaintances to friends. Coworker friendships may then become closer as a result of personal or professional problems. For example, talking about family or romantic troubles with a coworker may lead to increased closeness as self-disclosure becomes deeper and more personal. Increased time together outside of work may also strengthen a workplace friendship.Patricia M. Sias and Daniel J. Cahill, “From Coworkers to Friends: The Development of Peer Friendships in the Workplace,” Western Journal of Communication 62, no. 3 (1998): 287. Interestingly, research has shown that close friendships are more likely to develop among coworkers when they perceive their supervisor to be unfair or unsupportive. In short, a bad boss apparently leads people to establish closer friendships with coworkers, perhaps as a way to get the functional and relational support they are missing from their supervisor.
Friendships between peer coworkers have many benefits, including making a workplace more intrinsically rewarding, helping manage job-related stress, and reducing employee turnover. Peer friendships may also supplement or take the place of more formal mentoring relationships.Patricia M. Sias and Daniel J. Cahill, “From Coworkers to Friends: The Development of Peer Friendships in the Workplace,” Western Journal of Communication 62, no. 3 (1998): 273. Coworker friendships also serve communicative functions, creating an information chain, as each person can convey information they know about what’s going on in different areas of an organization and let each other know about opportunities for promotion or who to avoid. Friendships across departmental boundaries in particular have been shown to help an organization adapt to changing contexts. Workplace friendships may also have negative effects. Obviously information chains can be used for workplace gossip, which can be unproductive. Additionally, if a close friendship at work leads someone to continue to stay in a job that they don’t like for the sake of the friendship, then the friendship is not serving the interests of either person or the organization. Although this section has focused on peer coworker friendships, some friendships have the potential to develop into workplace romances.


As part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) Machine Common Sense (MCS) program, researchers last week offered demonstrations of robotic system performance improvements, showcasing advances in intuitive physics, actors intentional and spatial navigation.
By comparing the progress to that of a child’s cognition, the researchers aim to create computer models and simulated training to prepare the robots for real-world scenarios. This preparation focuses on recognition and interaction with objects, agents and places. Their efforts made it possible to quickly adapt to changing terrain, learn to withstand a dynamic load, etc.
“These experiments are important milestones that bring us closer to building and fielding robust robotic systems with generalized motion capabilities,” said Dr. Howard Shrobe, MCS program manager in the Office of Innovation at the information from DARPA. “Prototype systems don’t need large suites of sensors to deal with unexpected situations that might arise in the real world.”
An experiment at the University of California, Berkeley created a rapid motor adaptation algorithm that allowed quadrupedal robots to adapt when coupled with proprioceptive feedback – the sense of self-movement and position from the body. In this experiment, the researchers noted that the robots successfully navigated a range of real and simulated terrain, which could prove useful for military units with load-carrying and sensing.
Speaking of loads, researchers at Oregon State also showed that a bipedal robot could learn to carry dynamic loads with only proprioceptive feedback. In a simulated-to-real learning environment, a robot named Cassie learned common-sense behaviors, adapting its stride to incorporate adjustments in its load, such as sloshing liquids or balancing weights. The robot walked for several moments on a treadmill with different types of load. Before training, the robot fell immediately.
The collaboration between researchers at the University of Utah and the MCS team at Oregon State University has also created an algorithm that allows robots equipped with multi-fingered hands to grab previously invisible objects – when they are trained – in simulation. After training, a robot was able to grasp with over 93% real-world success on new objects, compared to the 78% offered by existing passive learning approaches.
Other areas of research included attempts to create a commonsense repository of knowledge capable of enabling robots to learn by reading the web and to answer natural language and image-based questions about social phenomena. common meaning. A machine-created scalable knowledge base to augment diverse representation of the world and a variety of approaches to learning the commonsense structure of human behavior and physics from video were also part of ongoing research.


New Co-Director for Catholic Organization for Life and FamilyFriday, January 09 2004
(COLF – Ottawa) Ms. Michèle Boulva has been appointed as the new French-language co-director of the Catholic Organization for Life and Family (COLF), succeeding Ms. Diane Dupras who has held this position since 1996. Ms. Boulva will begin her new duties January 12, 2004, and work with Ms. Jennifer Leddy who is English-language co-director of COLF.
Well known in the French sector of the Catholic Church in Canada, Ms. Boulva has worked for the past 18 years as a journalist with the bi-monthly Le Nouvel informateur catholique. She has also work for the Montreal daily newspaper La Presse and has a background in public relations.
The new COLF co-director holds a bachelor degree in family education and has been actively involved in many pastoral projects involving families, children and youth.
Ms. Boulva, mother of three children, says she is excited by the new challenge ahead of her. “Nothing appears more urgent and important today than the promotion and defence of life, family and marriage,” she said. “The laity has an enormous role to assume today in these areas both within the Church and in society.”
Ms. Dupras resigned as COLF co-director to join the Dominican Sisters of Berthierville, Quebec.
The Catholic Organization for Life and Family (COLF) was jointly founded by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Knights of Columbus to promote respect for human life and dignity and the essential role of the family.

The Upper Delaware Scenic Byway consists of a beautiful 70-mile stretch of New York State Route 97 traversing three counties and largely paralleling the nationally-renowned Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River.
The route is characterized by stunning scenery, a rich history, communities both lively and quaint, and an abundance of recreational opportunities.
The majority of Route 97 was legislatively added to the New York State Scenic Byways System in 2002 based on a grassroots nomination process. A non-profit organization comprised of volunteer representatives from its participating municipalities meets monthly to oversee implementation of an Enhancement Concept Plan.
The goal of Upper Delaware Scenic Byway, Inc. is to protect the region's outstanding character, heritage, and beauty, while encouraging economic development through tourism and recreation. The Enhancement Plan envisions heightening the visitor experience through convenient and attractive facilities, advocating for highway safety improvements, and offering lodging, dining and recreational choices for visitors to enjoy the hospitality of the area's residents and vibrant business community.
The Upper Delaware Scenic Byway provides a leisurely link between State Route 17 (future I-86) in the Village of Hancock and Interstate 84 in the City of Port Jervis, traveling along State Route 97 and a section of U.S. Route 6. It is located between the Catskills and the Poconos region, with easy access to Northeastern Pennsylvania across a series of interstate bridges and the National Park Service's Roebling's Delaware Aqueduct historic Delaware & Hudson Canal crossing in Minisink Ford.
Highlights and Key Points Along the Route
When construction of NYS Route 97 was completed in 1939, the road was extolled as "The Most Scenic Highway in the East" based on its proximity to the Delaware River, long valley vistas, rock cut landscapes, and the serpentine Hawk's Nest Drive that offers spectacular views from motorist pull-offs hanging hillside from walled foundations hundreds of feet above the river. Formerly a precarious, single lane dirt road, the Hawk's Nest in the Town of Deerpark is the most photographed section of the byway and has been featured in national television commercials.
Motorcycle magazines cite Route 97 as being one of the best riding roads in the Northeast Region and portions of Route 97 are designated as Bike Route 17 for bicycling enthusiasts. Route 97 is the major transportation artery through the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River Valley, where boating, fishing, eagle watching, and local festivals are popular activities.
Communities through which the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway passes are the Village of Hancock in Delaware County; the Towns of Delaware, Cochecton, Tusten, Highland and Lumberland in Sullivan County, and the Town of Deerpark and City of Port Jervis in Orange County.
Each offers a unique history, charm, and features that are highlighted in the free Upper Delaware Scenic Byway travelogue brochure and on the UpperDelawareScenicByway.org website.
Length of Scenic Drive
Phase 1 of the state designation includes approximately 50 miles of the 71.35-mile NYS Route 97

The coronavirus shows no signs of slowing here in the U.S. The number of confirmed cases has surpassed 5,000, marking a 500% increase in just seven days. Multiple states, including New York, Washington, Ohio, and California are putting residents on lockdown to slow the spread of infection.
Social distancing is key when it comes to responding to a pandemic. U.S. citizens everywhere are being encouraged to avoid gatherings of ten or more people and stay at least six feet away from strangers. Scientists still aren’t exactly sure how the virus spreads from person to person, so they’re erring on the side of caution. Several cases of community spread have been reported across the country, which means the virus might be able to jump from one individual to the next even without direct contact.
To improve social distancing and limit the spread of infection, many providers and health systems are turning to telehealth, so they can care for and monitor patients remotely without bringing them in for an in-person appointment. Take a look at how telehealth and virtual care are helping providers deal with the pandemic.
How Telehealth Is Making a Difference on the Ground
- Remote Consultations and Triaging Symptoms
The coronavirus outbreak happens to coincide with the tail-end of this year’s flu season, which means millions of Americans are likely wondering if their runny noses or sore throats means they have COVID-19 or influenza.
The U.S. has suffered from a shortage of coronavirus testing kits since the outbreak began. Health systems across the country have been struggling to confirm potential cases of COVID-19.
Currently, patients are being encouraged to stay home if their symptoms are mild. They should only seek in-person medical care if they have shortness of breath, direct contact with someone that has the virus, or if they’re over the age of 60 with pre-existing conditions.
Patients are using telehealth to remotely connect with their care providers via live video and audio to see if they should come in for an in-person appointment. Based on their symptoms, the provider will either tell the patient to stay at home and remotely prescribe medication if needed or have them come in for an appointment to further diagnose and treat symptoms accordingly.
Triaging patients before they come in for an appointment helps limit the spread of infection. Providers don’t have to worry about their waiting rooms filling up with infectious patients. Patients can also get the information they need quickly, without setting foot inside a healthcare facility if symptoms don’t point to a high risk of COVID-19.
- Protecting the Most Vulnerable Members of Society
The coronavirus poses the greatest risk to seniors and those with underlying health conditions. These individuals also tend to suffer from limited mobility. They may have trouble getting to and from the doctor’s office.
With telehealth, seniors can stay put and still get much of the healthcare they need. Doctors don’t have to expose their most vulnerable patients to unnecessary risks, and care can quickly be administered virtually to those who would otherwise have the most difficulty receiving it.
- Monitoring Patients and Their Symptoms
With limited coronavirus testing, some patients’ symptoms may worsen over time or they may begin to experience a shortness of breath. In these cases, they would need emergency care. Left untreated, the illness can progress to a point that requires the need to go on life support or use a ventilator.
Doctors are using telehealth to continuously monitor their patients and their symptoms as the epidemic expands across the country. As soon as the patient’s symptoms worsen, their care provider can take additional steps to make sure they get the care they need.
- Patient Capacity and Demand for Healthcare Services
Hospitals and staff are being pushed to the breaking point in certain parts of the country, including Seattle and other hard-hit areas. There are only so many beds available for coronavirus patients, which means some may be turned away. Some nurses are being asked to make life-or-death decisions on the spot as they decide which patients have the best chance of surviving the virus. Some facilities are even turning storage spaces and basements into patient screening rooms.
Providers can also use live video and audio to remotely check up on other chronically ill patients and those recovering from surgery instead of keeping them at facilities. Keeping patients at home and out of the hospital can help providers better manage their limited resources, including facemasks, gloves, goggles, and hospital beds.
In response to the coronavirus, the Trump Administration announced that it will be easing Medicare restrictions for telehealth. Under the new rule, Medicare patients can now visit any doctor by phone or videoconference at no additional cost. Patients can also use common video conferencing services like FaceTime and Skype to remotely connect with care providers.
Previously, Medicare patients could only access these services in rural areas and at specially designed facilities. Providers can now reach elderly patients across the country without worrying about not getting reimbursed for their time.
The Race to Adopt Telehealth
As the coronavirus spreads, more providers will likely adopt telehealth in the days and weeks to come. However, many facilities and health systems do not have telehealth networks in place, which means they may not have the means to care for patients remotely. Investing in telehealth will help more providers respond to this ongoing crisis while reducing the spread of infection.
According to InTouch Health, one of the country’s leading telehealth equipment providers, “Gloves and surgical masks can only do so much to prevent the spread of disease-causing bacteria. If a care provider were to get infected with the coronavirus, they could unintentionally infect dozens, if not hundreds, of patients and their colleagues. That’s why providers are using virtual care devices to care for coronavirus patients. Instead of having providers care for infected patients directly, the device can administer care to patients without the risk of exposure.”
Consider adopting telehealth as your facility looks for ways to respond to the pandemic.

Al Ain-based Emirati AlDhabi AlMheiri read 1,200 books when he was six years old. She eventually turned her hobby into a business proposition by launching an online platform focused on children, finding a niche among young entrepreneurs in the UAE.
“Rainbow Chimney,” an online platform that sells children’s books, stationery and toys, is fittingly called a granddaughter’s legacy. While AlDhabi is an ardent fan of Mary Poppins books, at the age of three she also knew a lot about the solar system and asked her mother questions such as, “What keeps us glued to the earth, is it possible to fall? ? Is there another planet around us, do people like us live there?
During an exclusive interview with Gulf News, AlDhabi’s mother, Mouza AlDarmaki, said, “AlDhabi is very curious by nature. I realized this when she was just two years old and started reading to her using the methodology of phonetics. The funny thing is that I didn’t like to read at that time, but I started reading for her, to learn the best ways to pass on knowledge to her and my other children. At age three, AlDhabi could mix words and gradually began to read on her own, and when she turned four she expressed her desire to open a bookstore.
Lesson 1: Encourage children to pursue what they love
“Give kids the independence to choose and pursue what they love,” says AlDarmaki. “Having the independence to choose will bring out their innate potential. It will also prepare them to make choices independently, whether it’s to complete homework or to pursue a certain career later in life. As parents, we we can guide them along the way, support them but not impose our decisions on them. AlDhabi likes to read, write, color and at the same time she learns to code because she wants to. It is important to realize that a child is not a copy of its parents.They are individuals and must develop their own characteristics, interests, and ultimately shape their own lives.
The hobby led to a business idea
Even before creating Rainbow Chimney, AlDhabi enjoyed picking and wrapping gifts, mostly books and toys, for his cousins and friends. Seeing AlDhabi’s genuine interest in reading and the way she encouraged others to read, her parents decided to support her to create Rainbow Chimney with an initial capital of 8,000 Dh.
“We wanted AlDhabi to test its idea by creating a minimum viable product, personalized boxes offering in this case teaching aids. We started with just over 100 titles and two to three books under each title. My husband and I have agreed that if the proposal works well, we will support AlDhabi with more investment until the business becomes self-sufficient. So when we started getting positive feedback from customers, we invested more money. To date, we have invested a total of AED 480,000 to develop Rainbow Chimney, and we are constantly reinvesting corporate profits back into the business,” shares AlDarmaki.
Adding, AlDhabi says, “I love racing Rainbow Chimney, it’s a lot of fun.” The things she likes to do the most are packing boxes with books, toys and stationery, based on a selection that includes gender, age, interests as well as special needs, if applicable. Then she places labels and price tags on the boxes often with a handwritten note. She also learns to catalog books and toys, checking each item before it goes live.
Lesson 2: Teach children the value of money as early as possible
“A few years ago we were in a mall and AlDhabi insisted on buying a toy. I thought it was a good time to explain to him the difference between want and need. Fortunately, she understood that she didn’t need this toy, it was just a desire that could wait. Now she teaches the same principle to her younger siblings. It is important to teach children the value of money. It’s because we started teaching her simple principles of money management that today AlDhabi knows she can buy a book for 50 Dh or even three with the same amount, it’s a question of choice. In fact, now whatever money she earns as rewards from her family members, she reinvests in the business. We also follow another basic rule of never taking any item for free from Rainbow Chimney, even if it is our own business,” AlDarmaki shares.
Growing a business requires careful planning
“Our new shipment of books is coming soon and if I stick them all it will reach Burj Khalifa,” AlDhabi proudly states.
Although business can be fun, it also requires careful planning. There’s a lot of thought behind sourcing books, toys and stationery, an area that AlDhabi’s parents run.
“We work with approximately 15 publishers based in the US, Canada and the UK to find books [in bulk] directly from them, which helps us reduce costs,” says AlDarmaki. “Additionally, we have also formed strategic partnerships with delivery platforms such as Talabat, which helps us record daily sales. Otherwise, the nature of our business can be seasonal, with some months being very busy and others Another source of income for us is participation in various local, regional and international book fairs, which also contributes to brand awareness.”
When asked if she likes doing calculations because business is also about keeping track of money coming in and going out, AlDhabi said, “Most people find it surprising that I like doing calculations with the support from my parents. They also help me with the price of the boxes.
Lesson 3: Be aware of local laws and regulations
If a child under 18 decides to run a business, the license is issued in the parent’s name in most cases, AlDarmaki points out. “Also, now that AlDhabi has launched an initiative called ‘Write a Book: From Children to Children’ in which she will select 10 children’s books written by her friends and publish them under her publishing house, we will need another license that authorizes the publication of books, so it is important to be aware of local laws and regulations.
Build a community
After becoming the youngest Emirati entrepreneur at the age of six, AlDhabi, now seven, was named the youngest publisher by Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi at the Sharjah International Book Fair. AlDhabi’s book is due out this year in November. A big step that will reinforce the mother-daughter duo’s vision of building a community of readers in the UAE.
“We have over 7,000 subscribers on our website, excluding customers we reach through Talabat and other platforms. But it’s not about the number of people who buy from us, but rather their desire to be part of this community of avid readers. Sometimes we see customers ordering a book from us spending more on shipping than the actual price of the book. This is one of the reasons why we are considering setting up a boutique,” says AlDarmaki.
“Beyond business, Rainbow Chimney sends an even more important message to parents. And that is to recognize a child’s abilities and help them discover new things and eventually their innate potential.
Advice from the Emirati child entrepreneur: AlDhabi AlMheiri
• If you have a dream, make it happen
• Work hard to make your ideas work and never give up
• Always remember what Mary Poppins said: “Anything is possible, even the impossible.”
Message from a parent to parents: Mouza AlDarmaki
“Every child is born with talents and abilities. Some parents find out in time and sometimes it’s too late. By discovering that some parents are supportive and nurturing the children with the right opportunities. But some may not be so supportive for various reasons and I would tell them to believe in your children and their abilities. Spend time with them to find out what their true interests are and trust their choices. You’ll be surprised to know that most of my conversations with AlDhabi about the idea of creating Rainbow Chimney happened during our gaming hours or during bedtime storytelling sessions. Children have magical abilities and it is up to us to discover and cultivate their talents.
