I am the true vine, and my Abba is the vine grower who cuts off every branch in me that does not bear fruit, but prunes the fruitful ones to increase their yield. You’ve been pruned already, thanks to the word that I have spoken to you. Live on me, as I do in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself apart from the vine, neither can you bear fruit apart from me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who live in me and I in them will bear abundant fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. Those who don’t live in me are like withered, rejected branches, to be picked up and thrown on the fire and burned. If you live on in me, and my words live on in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you. My Abba will be glorified if you bear much fruit and thus prove to be my disciples.
As I prepared for today’s sermon I wrestled with the world around me. I bear witness to the hurt of a hurting world. I wrestled with these verses from John. What is the true vine? And how did I get graphed to it? What is this verse speaking to me, to this community…I found myself wandering. I wandered all over the place, between here and there. I worried that I would not have something to preach to you this morning.
I read and re-read these 8 verses from the Gospel of John. Then something beautiful happened. I had what folks in recovery call a “moment of clarity.” These verses have little to do with how to behave, act, or live. There is nothing here that allows for me to build a checklist of obedience. There is no place for me to cause mischief. I can romp and stomp around in the beauty of our Creators beloved vineyard. This is a story of how God is and of what we are in relationship with God.
There is hope. Like my white Russian fueled, rug concerned friend from “The Big Lebowski” to too shall abide.
What a relief! All I got to do is live on in Christ. My discipleship is evidence of the fruit that God shall bear. It is not a matter of my ability, action, or worth at all. I don’t know about you but I find some comfort in this. There is hope that I may be of service to the Kindom of God, after all.
I do not need to figure out what the word is that has been spoken. All I have to do is live in a way that bears fruit, and then I can live on in relative comfort, absent of anything truly extraordinary.
There is one problem here…there is nothing here about living on in relative comfort absent of anything truly extraordinary. At least I do not remember anything in the fine print to suggest that I was getting anything out of the deal other than “another way” as I picked up my cross and followed The Christ. But then again it is no ordinary way that we are being offered. The extraordinary path before us leads us to a place, a place “Where the Wild Things Are.”
One night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of as kinds. He romped and he stomped as he went here and there. Searching and searching not really aware. Max was searching for a place to be. A place he felt safe, a place to belong.
All that Max’s mother saw was that Max was being mischievous and called him “WILD THING!” and Max said “I’ll Eat you UP!” so he was sent to bed without eating anything.
Max was angry, frustrated now…he was sheltered from searching for that place to belong. Max began to cry mourning the loss. He sat there angry and sleepy…he was fighting sleepy as he fell of in to sleep.
That very night Max awoke in his room, there a forest grew…and grew and grew until his ceiling hung with vines and walls became the world all around and an ocean tumbled by with a private boat for Max and he sailed off through night and day and in and out of weeks and almost over a year to where the wild things are.
All the while Max dreamed of rumbling and romping as he searched here and there for a place to belong. Hoping and wanting to be in a place where he was with and near other “Wild Things” and in the horizon something appeared. It looked like a special place with trees so very tall. Cliffs so high you could not see the tops at all. Max grew excited as rumbles and romping began to stir…this “Wild Thing” was awakened by the sight of that “Wild Place.”
And when Max’s boat came safely to the shore where the wild things are, they roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws till Max said, “BE STILL!” and tamed them with the magic trick of staring into their yellow eyes without blinking once and they were frightened and called him the most wild thing of all. And the wild things made Max king of all wild things.
What does the king of all the wild things do? That anger in his belly and the searching for a place looked like it had concluded, according to the face of the wild things. For as king Max felt safe, around all these other wild things. Hearing their terrible roars and seeing their terrible teeth and eyes brought on a wondrous surprise. Max felt at home in this place.
“And now,” cried Max, “let the wild rumpus start!”
All of the wild things took off like a light. They were here and there, they were everywhere. Max took delight in this terrible, awful sight…everywhere he looked was a wild thing doing wild things, in the most wild of ways.
Wild things climbed the tall, tall cliffs and scratched the tall, tall trees. The wild things did so very much that Max became exhausted and had enough.
Max proclaimed that I am your king, king of the wild things and I say, “Stop, now!” Then Max sent the wild things off to bed without their supper. Max was not sure why he still felt angry or sad. He thought he was home with all the wild things. He hoped he had found that place where he too belonged. Max began to weep. Max the king of all the wild things was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all.
At that very moment between the sobs and the tears, Max was blessed with a scent of a place so dear it dried up his eyes and calmed all of his fears. Around from far away across the world he smelled good things to eat, so he gave up being king of where the wild things are and went down to set sail.
But the wild things cried, “Oh please don’t go – we’ll eat you up – we love you so!” And Max said, NO!”
The wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws but Max stepped into his private boat and waved good-bye and sailed back over a year and in and out of weeks and through a day and into the night of very own room where he found his supper waiting for him and it was still hot.
Awaiting Max was a hot meal. For all of Max’s wild deeds he was rewarded with a hot meal. He was nourished, sustained and loved in the midst of his wild ways. Imagine if we lived a life where the wild things are.
A place we can romp and rumble knowing we belong. This is the place where John’s Gospel tells us of. The place where we are wild and free. A place where we live in the Creator and the creator lives in us. A place where discipleship is a matter of relationship and no longer a matter of accounts and deeds that display the righteousness we so greatly desire.
As we live on in the word spoken to us, we grow into the wildness demanded by our new creation. The fruit we bear is not by our deeds but by the deeds of the one who tends to our wildness.
The journey we are on leads us to a wild place full of wild things. I wonder what the wild things are for you? For me where the wild things are exists in the hungry hearts of those that live in poverty. The wild things romp and stomp in the terrible eyes of those that seek to end marginalization of our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered sisters and brothers.

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who hurt his shoulder during the Patriots game against the Minnesota Vikings, says that he will suit up to play this Thursday when New England takes on the Buffalo Bills.
According to the Boston Herald’s Andrew Callahan, Meyers has been limited at practice this week after suffering the shoulder injury on the Patriots’ first offensive snap of their loss to Minnesota on Thanksgiving day, leaving the game after making a 26-yard reception, but returning to finish with 3 receptions for 64 yards.
Meyers said that he is feeling “a lot better” since.
“I’m great, honestly,” Meyers said. “Mentally, I’m great, and physically, it’s football. You take some hits, you take some lumps, you get back up. But mentally, I’ve got a good support system, a good team, a bunch of good teammates, so it’s been pretty easy.”

The Waltham Police Department will be out in force from Dec. 13 to Jan. 1, 2014, to run extra patrols as part of the national “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” initiative.
The Waltham Police Department will be out in force through Jan. 1, 2014, to run extra patrols as part of the national “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” initiative.
The initiative, which arrests people caught driving under the influence, is funded by a federal grant administered through the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security’s Highway Safety Division.
“You’ll see us making lots of stops during this highly visible enforcement period and if we suspect anyone is driving while intoxicated, officers will show zero tolerance for impaired driving,” said a statement from Waltham Police. “The message is simple: ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.’ Drinking alcohol and driving do not mix. If you plan to consume alcohol, you should also plan not to get behind the wheel of a vehicle.”
Data shows that the holiday season is a particularly deadly time on the roads because of the increased number of impaired drivers.
“Remember, whether you’ve had way too many or just one too many, it’s not worth the risk,” said the statement from Waltham Police.
The Public Safety Office recommends these tips for a safe holiday season:
-Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin
-Before drinking, designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home
-If you’re impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation
-If you happen to see an impaired driver on the road, don’t hesitate to contact law enforcement
-If you know someone who is about to drive while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get home safely

A sharp slowdown in economic activity adds to calls for the Bank of England to pause before raising interest rates.
Bank of England Governor Mark Carney has taken some flak for talking about interest rate rises in the past, but not delivering. That ended last week when the MPC’s raised Bank Rate. Now to see how the economy responds. Continue reading
It’s a familiar narrative for the UK. Strong job growth but signs of a weakening consumer on the back of paltry income growth squeezed by higher inflation. Yet markets are convinced the Bank of England is raising rates on 2 November. The latest data suggests the decision will likely be more finely balanced for policy-makers. Continue reading
The Bank of England is debating the best way to tackle the UK’s current dose of inflation. But for the central banks of the Eurozone and the US the issue is stubbornly low inflation. Continue reading
Ten years ago today heralded the start of the ‘credit crunch’. The term which was unfamiliar to most people entered dictionaries in 2008. A credit crunch refers to the sudden reduction in the availability of credit or a sudden tightening in the conditions to obtain credit. In short, the availability of credit decreased sharply and the cost of credit increased significantly. In turn, this morphed into the global financial crisis or GFC and was accompanied by a global downturn. The rest they say is history. A decade has passed and hundreds of books have been written about the credit crunch and the global financial crisis that followed.
As the world watches and waits for the outcome of the US election there are signs of modest improvements in performance across the major economies. The Bank of England marked up its 2017 growth forecast. The US continues to create jobs apace. Even the eurozone gives some cause for optimism. What could possibly go wrong? Continue reading

Initial signals of the economic fallout post-Brexit vote are weak. That’s weak in both hard to detect as well as hinting at economic fragility. It’s early days but initial signs suggest a sudden shock to business and consumer confidence as well as consumer spending. If true, the next question is, how persistent?
With five weeks to go before the EU referendum the campaigns are now in full swing and scrutinising every piece of data for signs of Brexit nervousness.

I love working with a great team, I had a chance to work with the fabulous stylist and makeup artist Angela Pethig and the lovely and talented Jordan on a 1920’s inspired shoot a few weeks ago. I hope you like the results.
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to work with an amazing makeup artist, Angela Pethig, along with a lovely model Jordan. The plan was to do some Black and White portraits and we managed a variety of different looks using found material and objects. Most images were processed as monochrome but some looked good in colour as well :-)
I have just got back from a trip down to Dunedin, we managed a day trip to The Catlins and stopped off at the lovely Purakaunui Falls, a short walk from the car park.
I love old movies and the look of film noir, a few months ago I worked with the lovely Rebecca Noir and makeup up artists Khaela Scott to have a play with the genre.
A trip to the West Coast near Hokitika just after New Year brought me to the lovely Lake Kaniere and just beside it Dorothy Falls.
The rocks mountains and sea at Kaikoura provide some amazing shapes and textures, this shot is from a trip last year.
Here a few of the other images from the shoot.
A trip to the beach can be quite dramatic when the storm clouds roll in.
Last weekend I had a trip to Kaikoura, always a lovely place to visit and even more fascinating following the recent earthquakes. The roads are still being repaired but the journey is pretty good now. The foreshore has been uplifted by the quakes and looks different but still very beautiful with the sea, rocks and mountains.
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to shoot the lovely India Marie Rehwa, currently taking part in Miss 5 Crowns New Zealand great fun to work with and we tried a variety of lighting variations and props. This was one of favourites in the end.
I also liked this in colour.
The third in my series of time images; it seems easy to let time control you, have you ever felt that way?
The second in my series of 'Time' images, do you hold on to time, are you looking backwards rather than forwards? These were my thoughts in making this image.
I arrived home yesterday to find a copy of D-Photo magazine waiting for me and the amazing news that one of my images came 2nd in the Landscape category in the 2018 Sigma D-Photo Amateur Photographer of the year. There were so many gorgeous images in the competition I feel very privileged to have made 2nd place.
I have trying to put together a series images based around time. This was my first image and it turned out much less dark than some of the others have. It is easier to be happy when you are in control of time rather than time controlling you.
I was fortunate enough recently to win a gold medal in this year's North Shore Salon of Photography with this image of Kairaki Beach, entitled "The Line Between Sea And Sky". A long exposure taken on a calm mild evening last year.
I had a bit of fun with a portrait of the lovely Georgia Baynon and an image from Moria Gate Arch at Karamea on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand.
A simple natural light portrait of the lovely Georgia taken on a natural light workshop run by Scott Fowler. A fun day with lovely models and lots of different options to try. This was taken with window light a 50mm lens.
For the last few years I have entered images into the PSNZ National Exhibition, and have been lucky enough to have a number of images selected for the exhibition. This year I was awarded a bronze medal for this composite image made with the help of some lovely Cosplayers.
Another shot from a fun shoot at Sumner Beach standing in for Themyscira with the gorgeous Christine Cosgrove as Wonder Woman.

HDQRS. DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND,
Nashviville, Tenn., April 27, 1865.
Brigadier General WILLIAM HOFFMAN,
Commissary-General of Prisoners:
GENERAL: On the 24th instant I telegraphed you as follows:
Are released prisoners of war to be allowed to go to their homes, or are they required to remain within the loyal States? Are soldiers of General Lee's army furnished transportation by our Government to their homes?
I received in reply the following:
Released prisoners of war must remain within our lines. Transportation is not furnished to paroled men of Lee's army.
By released prisoners of war I had reference to prisoners of war released from Northern prisons. Many of them come here with papers from commanding officers of prisons showing their release, but I questioned whether it was the intention of the Government to let them go through the lines. The answer I received seems to imply that they are already within rebel lines, and I infer it has reference to paroled prisoners of war, and on this point I desire instructions. A great many of Lee's men come here and desire to go to their homes. Some of them live in Kentucky and some in Tennesse. It is proper to let them go home when they live inside our lines? Should they not stay within rebel lines? Where prisoners of war who have been paroled by General Wilson and General Stoneman report or are forwarded here, ought they not to be held as prisoners of war and sent North for exchange?
I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
J. G. PARKHURST,
Colonel and Provost-Marshal-General.
[APRIL 27, 1865.-For reports and correspondence relating to the loss of the steamer Sultana in the Mississippi River, with paroled Union prisoners on board, see Series I, Vol. XLVIII, Part I.]

The recent completion of groundwater sustainability plans for California’s most over-pumped basins was a major step toward bringing basins into long-term balance, as mandated by the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). As these plans move through the state approval process, the next stage is implementation. We talked to Trevor Joseph—the first SGMA employee at the Department of Water Resources (DWR), and now a member of a groundwater sustainability agency in the Sacramento Valley—about next steps and possible pitfalls.
PPIC: You’ve been involved with SGMA since its inception. What has surprised you the most about how it has unfolded?
TREVOR JOSEPH: I’m pleasantly surprised that SGMA has gone relatively well to date. To be honest, I didn’t think that groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs) would do so well at establishing governance structures and preparing initial plans. And while these plans aren’t perfect, essentially all the GSAs in critically overdrafted basins met their deadlines.
That said, the challenging work of implementing plans remains. I’m really interested in what happens over the next couple of years, as DWR reviews the plans and implementation gets underway. Much will depend on how DWR approaches its review of the plans, how it supports agencies that will need to make modifications to their plans, and how the various parties react to DWR’s review.
Another big question is whether GSAs and stakeholders can continue to find areas of common ground to build from—since collaboration is critical to ultimate success.
There’s also a risk that people expect too much of SGMA. We need to remember it’s about making progress over time. That doesn’t mean we should shoot low in terms of meeting obligations or addressing critical issues. But SGMA is not a panacea, and local agencies simply can’t address all of the state’s big water issues with this act. For example, water quality is incorporated into SGMA, but GSAs actually have limited ability to address this issue. A multitude of other state and local programs and laws address water quality and are better vehicles for fixing groundwater quality problems.
PPIC: Groundwater planning is still underway in the Sacramento Valley. How does it differ from planning in the San Joaquin Valley?
TJ: There is an incredible amount of variability among the state’s more than 500 basins, which is why SGMA recognizes that sustainability must be defined at the local level. For example, portions of the San Joaquin Valley continue to have relatively high rates of land sinking, or subsidence, which we really don’t have in our region. Many basins in the Sacramento Valley have had very stable groundwater levels for the past 30 years. One important focus of plans in this region will be balancing the effects of groundwater pumping on streams to protect the environment while also allowing the continued use of groundwater.
PPIC: Where do we go from here on SGMA implementation?
TJ: This is a critical time, and local agencies can’t let up on the gas pedal. Over the next few years we’ll learn how well we did in meeting the preparatory requirements—for instance, did we develop governance structures that are strong enough to make very difficult decisions such as balancing water use through demand reduction, which will affect local economies and livelihoods?
I believe success also depends on continued support for the key premise of SGMA: that groundwater is best managed at the local level. It may not be possible in all cases—the state may need to step up in some instances, hopefully for a limited time. The state has already done a tremendous amount of really great work aiding GSAs with technical, planning, and financial assistance programs. But now that initial plans are done, additional planning assistance at the regional level is needed to help GSAs coordinate on things like water available for recharge and shared infrastructure needs.
SGMA gives local agencies 20 years to attain sustainability—and while that sounds like a long time, a lot of progress has to be made quickly, and that could be a challenge. The types of storage and recharge projects that will be needed can take many years to establish. The SGMA timeline may be inadequate for that. I’m hoping that GSAs and the state can come together in new ways to develop regional solutions, such as developing additional groundwater recharge, so the SGMA process doesn’t end up focusing solely on demand reduction.

Two days after Bettie Jones was shot dead by Chicago police, it remains unclear why the 55-year-old grandmother of five walked to the front door of her West Side home, the spot where she became what authorities called an "accidental" casualty of a "domestic disturbance."
But her daughter has a theory about the one-time crossing guard. She was "just being a good citizen," Latarsha Jones told NBC News. "Trying to help out."
Bettie Jones, along with 19-year-old Quintonio LeGrier, her upstairs neighbor, who was also killed by police on Saturday morning, have become the latest symbols in a city roiled by anger over alleged police abuse.
Latarsha Jones and two of her sisters told NBC News on Monday that the events were "shocking" and "terrifying."
Latisha Jones said her mother was probably just opening the front door for the police Saturday morning.
"She was probably thinking, 'I'm going to open the door, let them in," she said. "'They're going to go upstairs and handle whatever's going on. I'm going to come back, close my door and get back in my bed.'"
Instead, Latisha added, "My mom wound up getting shot."
Chicago police have said they "confronted a combative individual" just after 4 a.m. on Saturday. Friends and neighbors told NBC affiliate WMAQ that LeGrier — a college student at Northern Illinois University who was home on break — had recently shown signs of mental illness and was threatening his father with a baseball bat. When police arrived, they shot him seven times, his mother said.
His father, Antonio LeGrier, filed a lawsuit against the city Monday alleging that LeGrier was unarmed and "never posed a danger of threat or harm."
Their deaths came just more than a month after the release of dash-cam video that showed Chicago police Officer Jason Van Dyke firing 16 shots at 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. Protests erupted over the city's handling of the killing and whether the authorities — including Mayor Rahm Emanuel — tried to cover it up.
Chicago police released a statement Saturday saying Jones was "accidentally struck and tragically killed" and Mayor Rahm Emanuel ordered the city's Independent Police Review Authority — or IPRA — to examine the case. "I have asked that they determine the deficiencies in the current training, and determine what steps can be taken immediately to address them," Emanuel said. "We will continue to ask tough questions of the police department, of the investigative agencies, and of ourselves, to drive the reforms the people of Chicago deserve and expect."
The Jones family's lawyer, Sam Adam Jr., assailed the authorities' version of the incident, telling NBC News on Monday that "many" shell casings were found "down the street" from Jones' home.
"That sort of activity certainly doesn't comport with necessary and justifiable shooting when the shell casings are 15 to 20 feet away," he said.
A Chicago police spokesman referred calls on the case to IPRA. A phone call to the authority on Monday was not immediately returned.

Annual Report on U.S. Wind Power Installation, Cost, and Performance Trends: 2006
The wind power industry is in an era of substantial growth, both globally and in the United States. With the market evolving at such a rapid pace, keeping up with trends in the marketplace has become increasingly difficult. Yet, the need for timely, objective information on the industry and its progress has never been greater. This report — the first in what is envisioned to be an ongoing annual series — attempts to fill this need by providing a detailed overview of developments and trends in the U.S. wind power market, with a particular focus on 2006.
The report begins with an overview of key wind development and installation-related trends, including trends in capacity growth, turbine make and model, and among developers, project owners, and power purchasers. It then reviews the price of wind power in the market, and how those prices compare to wholesale power prices. The report then turns to a review of trends in installed wind project costs, wind turbine transaction prices, project performance, and operations and maintenance expenses. Finally, the report examines other factors impacting the domestic wind power market, including grid integration costs, transmission issues, and policy drivers. The report concludes with a brief preview of possible developments in 2007.

Do men need a guide for how to work with women? Joanne Lipman, writing in The Wall Street Journal, has some suggestions, and they’re worth reading:
The point isn’t to blame men. In my view, there has been way too much man-shaming as it is. My aim instead is to demystify women.
The business case for this is compelling. Companies with more women in leadership posts simply perform better. Fortune 500 firms with the most female board members outperform those with the least by 26% on return on invested capital and 16% on return on sales, according to a 2011 Catalyst study.
Aside from some unfortunate stereotypes used by Lipman in her introductory paragraphs, the article has some great advice for men, particularly managers, who work with women. It goes beyond the “men’s and women’s brains are wired differently” and “men and women are socialized differently” concepts to offer some clear explanations and suggestions. Read it here.

Insider Mediators project final study & evaluation
Please cite PCDN as the source of the posting in your applicatin
Search for Common Ground (Search) is seeking a consultant or team of consultants who can evaluate and create a study about the contribution of a project about Insider Mediation implemented through a consortium with Berghof, Interpeace, CENAP and IPLG in Niger, Burundi, and Zimbabwe. The evaluation will use a mixed methodology and data collection tools and will aim to assess the impact of the project, lessons learned, and draw recommendations that can inform other EU mediation efforts in Burundi, Niger, and Zimbabwe. The evaluation results will feed into the final publication for this action. Candidates’s teams should have experience in drawing from lessons learned across countries and across organisations in order to consolidate a detailed analysis taking into account contextual challenges and opportunities.
Search for Common Ground (Search), Berghof Foundation (Berghof), Interpeace, CENAP and Africa University are implementing a 24-month project with the overall objective to contribute to national efforts for peace and stability in Burundi, Niger, and Zimbabwe. The consortium has combined efforts to respond to ongoing and emerging conflicts in the three target countries by supporting insider mediation. Based on consultations with the European Union (EU), as well as lessons learned and best practices from previous actions, the aim of this project is twofold:
The overall goal: to contribute to national efforts for peace and stability in target countries.
SO1: Strengthen local and national capacities for conflict transformation by leveraging insider mediation capacities and processes within existing or potential national peace infrastructures
- R1.1. Insider mediators in target countries are provided with enhanced opportunities and mechanisms for conflict transformation and mediation processes.
SO2: Support the EU in consolidating and further strengthening its approach to and operationalisation of insider mediation support
- R2.1. Insider mediators are provided with opportunities to effectively connect with other insider mediators on a local and national level.
R2.2 Insider mediators receive increased support from peers across borders and other actors involved in EU-supported peace processes.
This project is implemented in 3 Countries:
- Burundi: Rutana / Gitega / Kirundo / Kayanza/ Rumonge
- Niger: Diffa (N’guigmi – Toumour) / Tahoua (Tébaram) / Tillaberi (Abala)
The following are the main activity streams:
- A mapping of the insider mediation processes, actors, challenges, and support. Consortium members will coordinate with the EU to map existing and potential insider mediators, their capacity, as well as ongoing mediation processes, to understand potential entry points for connecting insider mediators to higher-level mediation processes.
- Capacity-development and structural support. Consortium members will strengthen local conflict transformation processes with training in mediation, negotiation, and facilitation; work with local communities to strengthen the role of women and youth in insider mediation processes; create a community of practitioners and a local coaching and mentoring system; accompany insider mediators to high-level mediation events; and create sustainable infrastructures for peace.
- Strategic networking and cross-border activities. To ensure the local, national, and international exchange of good practices that work across different conflict contexts, the consortium will create informal networks of insider mediators. We will connect the insider mediators across countries and regions to have periodic exchanges to share lessons learned, challenges and opportunities in their roles and multiply the knowledge gained through this project. The network will work with senior level mediators working on the same conflict at high level, and with EU and UN actors working on conflict transformation.
- Visibility. The project will be documented by videographers and illustrators to produce communicable material about insider mediation support (video, audio, photos, stories, interviews, testimonies, etc) available online. In addition, external communication materials, publications, and events will promote the action’s visibility across the target countries and beyond. By making sure that communication efforts target women and youth in particular we will engage them as advocates for peace and mediation.
Please click here for the full Terms of Service.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett, in his third year in office, is seeing growing opposition to his bizarre budget proposals and his pro-corporate agenda.
In his budget address February 6, the Governor attempted to cast his conservative, pro-privatization program in less strident language than other Republican governors have recently, but his strategy appears to be falling flat. Labor and other grassroots organizations have been quick to note that his proposals attempt to pit groups of workers, their children and retirees against each other. After two years of slashing the budget for public education and forcing cuts and layoffs in school districts statewide, Corbett proposed to restore a portion of the funding, if he could persuade the legislature to make devastating changes in the state’s two public employee pension plans. He has made “pension reform” his number one priority and proposes to change the plans from defined benefit to defined contribution plans for current employees.
He also plans to move ahead with contracting out the state lottery, privatizing the state liquor control board and laying off 5,000 workers as he privatizes the state liquor store system. The workers are members of the United Food and Commercial Workers.
The CLEAR Coalition, a group of public and private sector unions, issued a statement branding Corbett’s budget plans “flawed” and built upon “false promises and false choices.” Press reports have pointed out that his budget cuts have, over the last two years caused class sizes to increase in 70 percent of the state’s school districts and led to the loss of 20,000 teaching and support positions in the Pennsylvania’s public schools. AFTPA (teachers’ union) President Ted Kirsch wrote in a letter to the press that Corbett “has no qualms about pitting students, seniors, and working families against each other over budget scraps, which are all that’ll be left if he’s allowed to privatize public schools, teacher pensions, the lottery, natural resources, and now the state Liquor Control Board.”
In addition to his state budget plans, the Governor recently announced that Pennsylvania would refuse the federal healthcare funding leaving 700,000 residents with out health insurance coverage.
Corbett is being haunted by his 2010 decision to sign on to Grover Norquist’s “no tax” pledge. Under pressure to take action to repair the state’s 4,000 “structurally deficient” bridges and thousands of miles of crumbling roadways, the Governor has proposed to gradually remove the cap on the tax paid by gas and oil companies on the wholesale price of gasoline. So, while he faces sharp criticism from labor and people’s organizations for his privatization schemes, he now also faces attacks from his former allies for recommending hidden tax increases. Members of his own party are distancing themselves from the Governor whose approval rating is hovering around 35 percent. Republican Senate President Pro Tem Joseph Scarnati has been quoted as saying of the previous two budgets, “We cut through the muscle, and we are in bone.”
On February 5, the day of his budget address, the state capitol building was filled with demonstrators from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Erie and other cities opposing his privatization agenda and calling for full funding for public services and public education. Buses from across Pennsylvania brought members of groups including Action United, Alliance for Retired Americans, Decarcerate PA, Fight for Philly, Fight Back Pittsburgh, youth and student organizations, United Steel Workers and SOAR, SEIU PA, UFCW and others. Chants from the protesters reverberated in the hallways and in the Rotunda, “They say cutback; we say fight back,” and “Ain’t no power like the power of the people, cause the power of the people don’t stop.”

Why are the credits on older TV series so screwed up?
This was a very good series. In each town the riverboat stopped in, some little drama would take place, with crew members getting involved in the local intrigue. The plots were always watchable and interesting, with occasional but excellent humor, and the acting was first rate. Darren McGavin was dashing as the captain (think Kolchak minus fifteen years).
Darren McGavin was the star of this series. Yet, on his page, he's credited with being in one episode, and on this page appears not at all. IMDb's television series pages used to be pretty accurate, now a lot of stars show as limited guests on their own shows. What happened?

We investigated the effects of subchronic aspirin and ascorbic acid usage on spatial learning, oxidative stress and expressions of NR2A, NR2B, nAChR alpha 7, alpha 4 and beta 2. Forty male rats (16-18 months) were divided into 4 groups, namely, control, aspirin-treated, ascorbic acid-treated, aspirin + ascorbic acid-treated groups. Following 10-weeks administration period, rats were trained and tested in the Morris water maze. 8-Hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine and malondialdehyde were evaluated by ELISA and HPLC, respectively. Receptor expressions were assessed by western blotting of hippocampi. Spatial learning performance improved partially in the aspirin group, but significant improvement was seen in the aspirin + ascorbic acid group (p < 0.05). While 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine and malondialdehyde levels were significantly decreased, NR2B and nAChRa7 expressions were significantly increased in the aspirin + ascorbic acid group as compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Subchronic treatment with aspirin + ascorbic acid in aged rats was shown to enhance cognitive performance and increase the expressions of several receptors related to learning and memory process.

PR100 portable receiver
January 17, 2011
Munich, 21 January 2008 — The R&S PR100 from Rohde & Schwarz is the only portable receiver specifically tailored to worldwide requirements of mobile radio monitoring. Its wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 7.5 GHz makes it suitable for diverse applications such as radio reconnaissance, locating interference sources, and frequency monitoring. Despite its compact size, the R&S PR100 offers high sensitivity and a scan speed of up to 2.0 GHz per second. This enables regulatory authorities, industry, or armed forces to capture even weak or short-term signals. Featuring real-time bandwidth of up to 10 MHz and powerful digital signal processing capabilities, the R&S PR100 can intercept short-term signals such as those emitted by short-haul radio modules or military radios using frequency-hopping techniques. Because intercepted data is continuously buffered during scanning, no signals are lost during data processing. Stored activities can be displayed with a waterfall diagram. This means that even signals that are no longer being transmitted can be analyzed while the operator optimizes the receiver settings for the short-term signal being monitored. The IF bandwidth of the R&S PR100 ranges between 10 kHz and the 10 MHz maximum visible real-time bandwidth. As a result, the receiver can be adapted to handle a variety of radio services such as air traffic control, shortwave, TETRA, or UMTS. IF bandwidth can be selected independent of demodulation bandwidth. This allows the operator to demodulate an audio signal, store it and – at the same time – intercept signals across the set IF bandwidth. As a result, no signals are lost during demodulation. Moreover, the differential spectrum display lets the operator compare stored frequency occupancies with signal activities currently being received. Any differences will be shown in the differential spectrum. This feature makes it possible to track illegal transmitters such as bugs without a major analysis effort....

What happens when couples age together but don’t always go in the same direction? This is the central question of one woman posted on the SG Whispers page.
The woman writes that she is “constantly upgrading and improving herself in terms of knowledge and physique,” while her husband met a 15-year-old boy who “plays games and earns 2k a month.” has not changed from
She added examples of questions her husband always asks about where to find certain things like nail clippers, toilet paper, and laptop chargers.
“He’s lazy. They’ve all been kept in the same place since day one. He knows the place, but he’s too lazy to move his butt and go get it himself.”
And although she says that “a good relationship is one in which each other grows and improves,” women feel that they are the only ones “growing and improving” in the relationship. I feel that I have come to a point where I believe I am. She can do almost everything by herself.
“I thought he had a good sense of humor, but now his jokes aren’t funny. When we were dating, he kept telling me about his dreams and aspirations, so I thought he was spontaneous.” I thought it was fair..but now he tells me a salary of 2k is enough for a family of three.
And instead of respecting her husband, she says she has already come to despise him.
She added, “It’s so frustrating to see him..I rejected all his sexual advances,” adding, “Need advice on how to motivate a paranoid and lazy spouse? ‘ said.
The woman also explained that divorce is not an option at this time as they have a three-year-old child.
Some netizens commenting on the woman’s post told her that it might be time to move on, as her husband failed to provide a good example for his children, even though she explicitly said she didn’t want a divorce. Told.
However, one woman told her that she should encourage her husband to be a better man.
Another told her to respect her husband as a “man of the house.”
A woman says many men she has dated still want to live at home with their parents, and one tried to sneak her in at 2am.

Big Brother 11 News
Jeff Schroeder is receiving another opportunity to travel around the world.
Julie Chen's first foray into motherhood could reportedly land her a new job.
CBS isn't commenting, but Big Brother lovebirds Jordan Lloyd and Jeff Schroeder are apparently competing on The Amazing Race's sixteenth season.
The self-admitted "Chenbot" has reproduced.
Jordan Lloyd thought her chance of winning Big Brother was a toss-up -- until she realized how much the jury members had soured on Natalie Martinez.
Kevin Campbell is glad he wasn't faced with the choice of who to take with him to the Final 2, because -- in hindsight -- he feels he would have chosen incorrectly.
Natalie Martinez says she was confident she couldn't win Big Brother, and she turned out to be right.
Jordan Lloyd was crowned Big Brother's eleventh-season winner during last night's live finale broadcast of the CBS reality show.
Big Brother's Final 3 eleventh-season houseguests were reminded of the show's "expect the unexpected" mantra during last night's live broadcast.
Michele Noonan entered the Big Brother house as a brainiac and left as "the devil."

1. The soluble specific substance of Friedländer's bacillus is non-antigenic when dissociated from the cell. It is different for each type and it is highly reactive in the corresponding anti-S serum.
2. The nucleoprotein is antigenic, induces the species or protein antibody which reacts with capsule-free cells and protein derived from all types. Antiprotein sera do not react with either the encapsulated cell or the polysaccharide derived from it, and they offer no protection against infection.
3. Anti-R and antiprotein sera are identical in their behavior.
4. The carbohydrate of Friedländer's bacillus is demonstrable in filtrates of actively growing cultures and in the blood and urine of infected animals.
5. The protein is demonstrable in filtrates of only old, disintegrating cultures.

The food is delicious. If you cannot speak Portuguese try to get help from another drivers at the roads but stay in the car!

Swahili is useful in the far north of the country as you get close to Tanzania, especially along the coast, and Nyanja is spoken near the border with Malawi and Zambia. You say that people are barely surviving on the poverty line and that people working in lodges are paid slave wages, but then your solution to this is to not go at all. Thanks to your post I feel much more excited to visit it one day! In the seventies Eisenloeffel worked mainly in Portuguese Africa and southern Africa.
