Three weeks after their child was born, 28-year-old Tshepho Dlamini took his wife Lerato out to supper. For the first time since they were together, he felt like he was dining alone.
Lerato was silent and her mind was elsewhere for the most of the meal. He explains, "I could tell that all she wanted was to get home to our kid”.
Tshepho, a manager of a small company in Cape Town, felt for his wife, who had undergone a horrific emergency C-section and had grown too devoted to their son Kaelo.
However, because the infant slept next to the couple, Tshepho and Lerato had limited opportunity for physical touch and had trouble falling asleep because of their sleeping arrangement.
Tshepho says, "I was terrified to death that I would roll over him.
Tshepho became more isolated when Lerato, 27, began working again. Lerato had a hectic schedule between caring for Kaelo and her work as a school therapist.
Tshepho didn't express his emotions to her since he didn't want to add to her worry. He went through father postpartum depression (PPPD) for seven months before realising it.
In the third trimester of their partner's pregnancy, 13.3% of expecting men report heightened levels of depressive symptoms, according to a research by Dr. Brandon Eddy et al., "Forgotten Fathers: Postpartum Depression in Men." Regarding the postpartum period, a research from 2007 titled "Sad Dad: Paternal Postpartum Depression" by Dr. Pilyoung Kim et al. suggests that between 4% and 25% of males experience PPPD in the first two months following birth.
According to the studies mentioned above, PPPD symptoms are similar to those of mother postpartum depression and include irritability or impatience, an easy tendency to get stressed out, a sense of discouragement, exhaustion, a lack of drive, and social isolation from family and friends.
Some signs of paternal postpartum depression appear to be more prevalent.
Sheehan Fisher, PhD, a clinical psychologist specialising in prenatal issues, asserts that men and women may experience their depressed symptoms differently.
According to studies on the idea of "masculine depression," males may report and exhibit externalising behaviours, such violence, hypersexuality, and drug abuse (such as alcohol), in reaction to depression.
Tshepho's rage built up inside of him, but he never let it out. He wanted to be more involved in Kaelo's relationship, but he felt left out when the two had trouble connecting.
It only made him feel lonely, he claims. I remained silent while providing any assistance I could.
Dr. Sarah Allen, a TikTok psychologist and the executive director of the Postpartum Depression Alliance of Illinois, notes that it's not unusual for males to suppress feelings of melancholy, hopelessness, or guilt.
Men may experience internal tension between what they believe a man should be and feel like and how they actually feel, the author adds.
According to Kay Matthews, creator of the Shades of Blue Project, which aims to aid minority women with postpartum depression and anxiety, "they go into shutdown mode." "Instead of expressing their annoyance, they act out in some way."
Tshepho claims that by suppressing his emotions, he ultimately "crumbled," resulting in an altercation where the pair even talked about divorcing one another. He says, "I felt so lonely and I couldn't handle it any longer."
It was a "lightbulb moment," according to Lerato. She understood that her preoccupation with their son had prevented her from paying attention to or even seeing what her husband had been going through.
Instead of divorcing, the couple decided to get back together. Tshepho says he's grateful he got the chance to express his worries and was greeted by a partner who was prepared to work through it with him. Kaelo is now two years old.
Although the couple's recent miscarriage at 16 weeks was distressing, according to Tshepho, the work they'd done to improve their communication made it simpler for them to meet each other's emotional needs.
He says, "I'm really close to our son, and we've established a balance. "It was a major issue for me to let myself feel these emotions and talk about them. In the past, I might have been more inclined to suppress my emotions in an effort to give Lerato's sentiments more room.
The Dlaminis are now devoted to raising awareness of the stigma associated with mental health. Even more so, Lerato blogs about her experiences.
According to experts, there are several treatments for paternal postpartum depression, but they often involve counselling and the dispensing of an antidepressant such as SSRI.
Matthews also emphasises the potential benefits of nutrition, exercise, and meditation in reducing the symptoms of depression.
Recognising that mental illness affects people of all backgrounds is the first step. Dads can experience depression, just like everyone else. You can get assistance if you or someone you love is displaying symptoms of depression.
For the treatment of depression and other mental diseases, organisations like the Post Natal Depression Support Association and the Perinatal Mental Health Project provides support groups, education, and other services.

Contaminated impact crater formations are pertinent to the study of meteoritic contamination at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary and other Ir-enriched layers. Target mixing considerations and volumetric estimates of Rochechouart breccias are presently combined with the geochemistry of both major and siderophile trace elements, to evaluate how the chemistry of the preserved target rock-projectile mixture evolved since deposition. Over 99 percent of the mass of extraterrestrial Ir and Os in preserved formations at Rochechouart is located in suevite-like breccias and impact melts. Hydrothermal alteration and/or weathering are the most likely processes to explain both major and trace element redistribution in Rochechouart formations.

Global Genes Project Building International Network of Rare Disease Advocates Committed to Bringing Rare Disease into the Forefront Year-Round
The Global Genes Project (www.globalgenesproject.org), a worldwide rare disease awareness initiative, today announced the success from its World Rare Disease Day 2010 efforts and laid out plans for future rare disease awareness campaigns.
"Thanks to the participation of thousands of people around the globe who joined this effort leading up to World Rare Disease Day, the launch of the 'blue ribbon and denim jeans' campaign met with tremendous success," said Nicole Boice, founder and CEO of the Global Genes Project. "In fact, we exceeded our expectations! But our efforts have only begun, as patients and families endure fighting rare disease year-round, we too must fight daily to heighten awareness of these conditions and the need for increased research funding for effective treatments."
Across the United States, 1 in 10 Americans suffer from rare disease while statistics in the European Union and Canada mirror those from the United States. In total, over 60 million people in North America and the EU suffer from rare disease.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) there are nearly 7,000 rare diseases while Shire, a global specialty biopharmaceutical company, estimates that rare disease affects nearly 250 million people worldwide. A significant portion of rare diseases are genetic in origin and afflict children.
"The number of people globally affected by rare disease is astonishing and yet the general public knows very little about the collection of rare diseases that impact millions," added Boice. "Many rare diseases strike kids and as a result these chronic and life-threatening conditions create an immense burden on caregivers as well as the education and healthcare systems. Rare diseases are having a profound effect on the global economy."
As part of the Global Genes Project awareness effort, advocates and supporters from different rare disease groups around the world joined together to support a common cause. Since the campaign launched in January, rare disease advocates have brought this global public health crisis into focus. Following are a few of the recent highlights:
Broad exposure and outreach:
- 150+ corporations, organization, medical research institutions, hospitals and foundations signed up to support the Global Genes Project
- A 'Blog For Rare' campaign was initiated with over 50 global bloggers, all participating the week before World Rare Disease Day
- A Twitter 'Care about Rare' chat was organized by parent advocates
- The Global Genes Project Facebook community was created and numerous parent advocates, foundations and other supporters shared ideas and information about rare disease initiatives - http://tinyurl.com/Global-Genes-Project-Facebook
- The Canadian Organization for Rare Disorders (CORD), Canada's national network for organizations representing all those with rare disorders, introduced the Global Genes Project at a parliamentary movie screening of Extraordinary Measures in Ottawa. The event had an attendance of about 100 parliamentarians and their staff
- In Argentina, a Niemann Pick rare disease team organized an large awareness rally and distributed blue ribbons
- In the UK, the student body at Harlaxton Manor College wore jeans for World Rare Disease Day and hundreds of students assembled to be photographed for the event: http://tinyurl.com/rarediseasedaypic
- The Global Genes Project slogan, "Hope – It's In Our Genes," was translated into several languages and Braille - http://www.globalgenesproject.org/downloads.php
'Kids Helping Kids' support efforts:
- Numerous children suffering from various forms of rare disease and their siblings participated in making the first-ever denim jeans awareness ribbons. Glue Dots International supplied GlueDots™ adhesives to help make ribbon making fast and easy for kids - http://tinyurl.com/Billy-Calhoun
- Three Southern California schools developed a 'game drive' with proceeds benefitting Donategames.org and all participants in the drive wore jeans in support of the Global Genes Project
- Two teams from Milwaukee Sting, a Wisconsin volleyball club, wore jeans ribbons on their warm-ups during competition in the Great Lakes Power League in suburban Chicago. Coaches also wore denim ribbons and coached in jeans throughout World Rare Disease Day - http://tinyurl.com/Great-Lakes-Power-League
- Children at the Harley School in Rochester, New York, distributed jeans ribbons to their classmates
Early corporate and local business campaign supporters:
- In Southern Indiana, hundreds of Global Genes Project cut-outs and customized posters and counter-cards were displayed in local coffee shops and businesses. House of Bluez hosted a 'denim and jeans' party
- Chicago-based law firm of Brenner, Ford, Monroe & Scott organized a "Wear Your Jeans To Work Day" and raised money to support Joubert Syndrome
- Glue Dots International hosted a 'Wear Jeans Day' and awareness event throughout their organization the week leading up to World Rare Disease Day 2010

Support continues with additional awareness initiatives underway:

- The Canadian Organization for Rare Disorders (CORD) will be hosting many events in the next few months, which will include promotion of the Global Genes Project
- A 'Denim and Diamonds' gala is being planned to benefit AT Children's Project, benefitting children affected by Ataxia Telangiectasia

FRP desulfurization dust collector operating temperature
For a bag filter, its use temperature depends on two factors, the first is the maximum temperature of the filter material, and the second is that the gas temperature must be above the zero temperature. At present, due to the large selection of glass fiber filter materials, the maximum operating temperature can reach 280 ° C. Temperatures above this temperature must be reduced, and temperatures below zero must be increased. For bag type dust collectors, the relationship between the use temperature and the dust removal efficiency is not obvious, which is different from electric dust collectors. For electric dust collectors, changes in temperature will affect the specific resistance of the dust and affect the dust removal efficiency.

- Wonderful restaurantKayayDined on 1/21/2014Went here for Dine LA with friends and the menu was great. It did not feel like a Dine LA experience where you did not get enough food or the food was of lower quality than on regular nights. The servers were attentive and gave great recommendations for the cocktails (which are not to be missed). It's a converted house and the ambiance was great. We also loved the music playing upstairs. My friends and I will definitely be returning even after Dine LA ends!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall Very GoodBigeaterDined on 12/31/2013We had dinner for four at the Larchmont. The food was excellent. Service was good not great, though there was no pressure to leave the table (which was nice). I would recommend the food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Soulful little spotjudatudeDined on 12/31/2013I like intimate restaurants with character and the Larchmont fit the bill. On trend, yet not flashy, straight forward fare with polish and inventive fresh cocktails. Though not really child centric the restaurant proved very accomodating to my 4 year old who joined us for our early New Years Eve dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Master Chef!googlefiberDined on 12/27/2013Sustainable, organic, grass fed, small farm to plate menu - everything I dream for a restaurant to deliver - tucked away in the comfort of an old house in the beautiful Larchmont neighborhood. This is my fourth visit and each time the brilliant young Chef Cody Diegel has visited our table to ensure we enjoyed the food. Did we ever! Best kale salad on the planet, brussels, and the vanilla lobster risotto will change your life. Also, we've had Collin twice as our waiter - top shelf service - funny, knowledgable, a blast.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Thanksgiving 2013Kitty2050VIPDined on 11/28/2013We had a lovely dinner, but were surprised when we were seated on a heated cover patio. Wish we had known that before we arrived. Food and service were great. Would do it again and request indoor seating by the fireplace. Have been there before and the food and wine are excellent!Special Features:

- Lighting issues?WillowVIPDined on 11/9/2013This place could use a little help with the ambiance but the food is really good and the staff is very friendly. We asked to sit on the patio but when we couldn't read the menu due to the "mood lighting" we moved to the bar where we could see. Lucky for us because we ordered quickly and were able to make it to our next location on time. We bumped into some friends coming in after us who ended up walking out after waiting 90 minutes for their appetizers. That really suggests a disconnect here along with the fact that not being able to see anything while sitting outside was somewhat of a turn-off. It feels a little stuffy to me inside so that is why the patio seemed preferable. Hope they turn up the lights a little because the food is great.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved this placeToddybearDined on 11/8/2013Have been meaning to go for dinner for ages and finally made it. Wonderful atmosphere, great service and great food. Can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Noisy Scene, Not For MeLarchmont4MeDined on 11/6/2013Quick review: Very good food. Committed servers. Good bartender. Young, vibrant crowd. Indoor/outdoor vibe. Overall it's a scene, as they say. Lots of younger industry types. However, it's not for me. Far too noisy with acoustics that amplify rather than modify sound. They don't need my business, they're very successful and I wish them nothing but the best!Special Features:
- Excellent mealgbs12345VIPDined on 11/2/2013We had a terrific meal at The Larchmont on Saturday night. We had two salads and several sides, which we all split and they were all very good. We all ordered different entrees -- salmon, lamb shoulder, pork tenderloin and venison -- and everyone thought theirs was very tasty. Our waitress was terrific; she knew the menu and offered up just the right number of suggestions. Corkage was $25 -- the most I'll grudgingly accept!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/2/2013Be sure and ask to sit with Colin! He will turn your meal into a dining experience!Special Features:
- Great Dining ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 11/2/2013What a wonderful meal. Food was delicious, ambiance was great and the service was excellent. My only complaint would be that the wine list was very limited. There were only 10 bottles of Red Wine from which to choose and of those only two were from California. We brought our own wine which they graciously opened for what is now a typical corkage fee in LA of $25/bottle. I consider this restaurant a "must try" for anyone within a 20-30 minute drive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OMG! Don't miss this gemTGDinerDined on 10/30/2013Where to start. I took a client for lunch. I wanted a nice quiet place to conduct business. When I walked in there was Robert Kass, restauranteur extraordinaire. I knew I was in great hands and wouldn't be disappointed. Loved the food! Tasty. Quiet ambiance. Clean and fresh environment. Can't wait to go back. Congratulations to the whole team. Fantastic restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not the Larchmont Grill.OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 10/29/2013Food is very good but all the comfort and cozy atmosphere is gone, replaced by stark white and little else.
- Excellent Atmosphere and FoodRickyTVIPDined on 10/26/2013Went here sort of last-minute because they had good reviews and ample reservations available for a Saturday night. It was 2 couples and we had a great waiter who as friendly and new the menu well. The restaurant itself is very cute, it's a converted house and it feels like you're going to a beach house or something. The steak frites were delicious as was everyone else's food! Will go back for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Tough steakcmschusterVIPDined on 10/22/2013I expected a really good steak frites. The French fries were delicious, which was lucky because the steak, ordered rare, was hardly even pink and full of gristle. Because I was a guest and didn't feel like making a fuss, I didn't complain or send it back. Another guest ordered the same meal, and his steak looked better and was not overcooked. Otherwise, I like the menu.Special Features:

Mithibong Mitambal, a patriotic music video album by Keke Wahengbam, sheds light on the feeling of abandonment experienced by the people, who had placed their trust in their so-called leaders, as the state struggles to survive nearly three-month of violence anad unrest in the state.
The soul-stirring music album was released on Tuesday at the Manipur Press Club, Imphal, and seeks to offer encouragement to the people of Manipur during these trying times.
The state has been in turmoil due to the ethnic conflict between the Meitei and Kuki communities that started on May 3 and refuses to die down. Nearly 150 people have died, hundreds others injured and over 70,000 rendered homeless and displaced in the violence so far.
Keke Wahengbam, former announcer of AIR Imphal and lyricist of the music video, delivered the keynote address during the release of the video, which was directed by Vevvaey Bonnyson and produced by Eteen Computerised Eye Testing and Eye Care Centre Production.
Keke acknowledged that it might not seem like the right time to indulge in music and enjoyment due to the ongoing turmoil. Nevertheless, he emphasised that the video aimed to ignite the patriotic spirit among the people of Manipur.
The singer cum lyricist informed that the lyrics of the music video were inspired by the alarming observation that the Meetei, an indigenous community of Manipur, is today facing the plight of becoming refugees in their own motherland.
The music video also sheds light on the feeling of abandonment experienced by the people, who had placed their trust in the leaders during this critical situation, Keke said clarifying that the video does not intend to make any personal attacks on the government but rather serves as a heartfelt appeal from the children to their parents.
The cast and crew of the music album video were honored with mementos during the release function.
The programme was attended by Up-Adhyksha of Imphal West ZP Ksh Tama as chief guest, chairman of Babina Group Th Dhabali, FFM chairman L Surjakanta, culturalogist Ninghouja Lancha, caretaker councellor of Thoubal Thoiba Puyam Jote, Ortho Neuro Chiropractor Romen Chandam, singer Naba Volcano as guest of honour, while AMMIK president Kh Thoiba presided over the programme.

It's been another busy week...
This year DH & I packed up the furbabies and headed to Toronto to spend the holidays with friends. We arrived Christmas Eve and will make our way home on Saturday after we recuperate from tonights' New Years Eve party. :-)
As is usual when we visit here, it has been all about the food (with a bit of shopping !) and the company. We've even managed some exercise - so to speak ! The new toy in this house is a Wii and it has been put to good use by all of us. Bowling & golf. It's amazing how much you actually do move ;-) *I think I want one*
Of course, my knitting projects came along with me.
My 'bristow' cardigan was started on Dec 2 using the brown Cascade 220 wool I bought this summer. The body was done on a circular needle and it is ready to be split for the armholes. I brought an extra ball to be ready for this but I decided, rather than doing the back and each front separately, I would do them all at once. Since I have to work on 3 parts of the sweater, only have 2 balls of yarn and don't want to use both ends of one ball, I need another ball to continue. It will wait til I get home, but here it is as it looks now...the shaping looks quite good if I do say so myself (first sweater I ever made with waist shaping)
My socks, though, have moved along quite nicely. These are the 'Lacy Rib Socks' from Socks from the Toe Up book. I've finished the foot, done the gusset, the slip-stitch heel and this morning, started up the legs.
It should go quickly enough now, that they could be finished before the end of next week.
Shopping this week - only 3 balls of yarn...
Arequipa - 65% superwash wool, 20% alpaca, 15% nylon, 100gm, the color below would be accurate if it weren't shiny.
2 -50gm balls of Patons Kroy, Cobalt Jacquard, 75% wool, 25% nylon
As 2009 comes to a close, I would like to say thanks for reading everyone. I appreciate all of your comments and encouragement.
I wish you all a safe, enjoyable New Years Eve !
This is what I was working on

The first thing that is introduced into the mindset of the African child when he grows up is to respect the elderly and the fruits of those who have been humble and obedient in all aspects to the bitter end are clearly visible in our respective societies.
It therefore amazes me when a hoard of caricaturing pictures of HE Comrade Mugabe are circulated through various network and distributed across the continent.
For sure, as a human being he has his shortcomings.
But I assure you that if it was during those old dark days of Ian Smith, PW Botha and AG van Niekerk those culprits circulating these demeaning pictures would have been arrested by the notorious special branches or simply vanished.
Thanks to independence, we now have rights and freedoms because we can now express ourselves as we want and do as we feel.
My fellow youth please open your eyes. Who is behind this demonising of our heroes and how long shall we allow ourselves to be blinded by the schemes of the imperialists?
They want to ridicule and to assassinate the character Cde Mugabe. Look around at what is happening in other African countries and get wise.
Let us go back and look at why the settlers are now occupying vast lands in many African countries and how these lands have been transferred under the pretext of close corporations (CC).
How shall we ever own land when settlers have taken it all, and made it a CC or sold it at very high prices?
Namibians do not benefit from their own land and the poor do not have anywhere to stay. Take this into consideration and respect our elder, he is a true African statesman.
They hate Cde Mugabe because he got the land back from the imperialist. Was it wrong for him to have done that?

With a current population of about 5,000 it is located in the east of Somerset close to the town of Axbridge and is roughly midway between the city of Wells and the coast at Weston-super-Mare. The village of Cheddar is known to date from Neolithic (Stone Age) times with archaeology found at nearby Cheddar Gorge. The Gorge is the largest gorge in the United Kingdom and includes several show caves including the spectacular Gough's Cave. It is now a major tourist destination along with the caves at Wookey Hole some 7 miles distant.

How do you keep a fried egg from spreading?
(And pro food-styling tip — if you want the egg to stay fairly compact and not spread out all over the pan, hold the bowl down just 1 cm or so away from the pan while you pour in the egg. And pour slowly, letting the whites find their placement for 1 or 2 seconds before letting the yolk slip into the middle of the pan.
How do you make fried eggs more interesting?
They toss a half teaspoon of smoked paprika into the oil as it sizzles. That’s it. But this teeny, micro-upgrade accomplishes a number of things: The heat of the oil toasts the ground spice, deepening its flavor. The smokiness infuses and unleashes into the oil to season the eggs as you splash over them.
Can you cook a fried egg in water?
Water-fried eggs have no added calories and taste as good as their oil-fried counterparts. You need approximately five minutes to fry an egg in water. Pour 1/2 inch of water into a skillet and place over medium heat. … Crack the egg into the center of the skillet and cover with the lid.
Why do you shake an egg before frying?
If you shake an egg vigorously before cooking it, the yolk will be perfectly central when cooked – works for boiled or fried eggs. In the picture below, the left hand egg was shaken vigorously for ~10 seconds before cracking it open. The egg on the right was not shaken at all.
Do you flip a fried egg?
Sunny side up: The egg is fried with the yolk up and is not flipped. Over easy: The egg is flipped and the yolk is still runny. Over medium: The egg is flipped and the yolk is only slightly runny. Over well: The egg is flipped and the yolk is cooked hard.
Can you fry eggs in olive oil?
Olive Oil Fried Egg
Heat about 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a medium pan (about 9 inch diameter) over medium to high heat. When olive oil is hot (after about 1-2 minutes), crack the egg in the pan and fry for about 2-3 minutes. Once ends have browned, remove from pan.
Can you keep fried eggs warm in the oven?
Egg yolks solidify between 149 and 158° F. As long as you can keep them below this temp, you can keep them warm for hours and still serve them the way you want them. Unfortunately most ovens bottom out at about 170° F or and other warming methods are even more problematic.
How do you make a fried egg sandwich without the runny yolk?
It’s easy to achieve a non-runny-yolk fried egg. You simply pierce the yolk during the cooking process. Place 3/4 tablespoon of butter and 3/4 tablespoon of olive oil into a non-stick or cast iron skillet. The olive oil will help prevent the butter from burning and turning brown.
Is a fried egg healthy?
Frying eggs is a classic. Whether you like them over easy (cooked on both sides), sunny side up (fried on one side) or scrambled (whisked in a bowl), they can be a healthy addition to your well-rounded diet.
What goes good with a fried egg?
- Green Chili Burgers with Fried Egg. …
- Warm Spinach Salad with a Fried Egg and Bacon Vinaigrette. …
- Avocado Toast with Fried Egg. …
- Sweet Potato and Kale Hash With Fried Egg. …
- Chicken, Pesto, and Fried Egg Pizza. …
- Huevos Rancheros. …
- Twice Baked Potato with Egg on Top.

What can you add to eggs for flavor?
11 things to add to eggs
- A teaspoon of chopped, fresh stronger herbs like oregano, tarragon, or thyme.
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh milder herbs like parsley, chives, chervil, basil, or mint.
- Tabasco, Worcestershire, or other prepared sauce, to taste.
- A quarter cup grated or crumbled cheddar, goat, or other melting cheese.

Lewis Allan Reed was an American musician, singer, songwriter and poet. He was the lead guitarist, singer and principal songwriter for the rock band the Velvet Underground and had a solo career that spanned five decades. The Velvet Underground was not a commercial success during its existence, but became regarded as one of the most influential bands in the history of underground and alternative rock music.
After leaving the band in 1970, Reed released twenty solo studio albums. His second, Transformer, was produced by David Bowie and arranged by Mick Ronson, and brought mainstream recognition. After Transformer, the less commercial Berlin reached No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart. Rock 'n' Roll Animal sold strongly, and Sally Can't Dance peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200; but for a long period after, Reed's work did not translate into sales, leading him deeper into drug addiction and alcoholism. Reed cleaned up in the early 1980s, and gradually returned to prominence with New Sensations, reaching a critical and commercial career peak with his 1989 album New York.

After months of waiting, the Community Action Agency board of directors agreed to hear those who have accused CAA Executive Director Tom Tenorio of financial mismanagement and fraudulent activity. Five members of the seven-member CAA board and their attorney met at Esplanade House to hear our speakers, some coming from as far away as Fresno.
The most disturbing testimony was that two senior management staff had apprised board President Doug Benander over two years ago in a private meeting of the dire financial straits the agency was in and told him “they were forbidden by Tom Tenorio to show true financial statements at board meetings, were barely making payroll, tired of constant creditor calls, that Tenorio’s travel expenses were breaking the agency.” Benander never shared the information with the board or took any action.
Others detailed Tenorio’s abuse of the agency credit card for personal use, said he asked employees to backdate state documents, and said his mileage claims were excessive and irrational.
Our speakers were told ahead of time that the session would be recorded, so we also brought recording equipment to do the same. However, upon arrival we were told we could not record. We agreed as long as we were provided a copy of what CAA videotaped and were told by staff that we could. We have yet to receive a copy but expect the board will be true to its word.
We’d like to thank the board for listening. Let’s hope they do the right thing.

USCIS issued an alert stating that the agency will begin ""phasing in"" premium processing for NIW Petitions on July 1, 2022, but only for ""certain previously filed Form I-140 petitions requesting E21 national interest waiver (NIW) classification. The alert states ""(p)lease see the Form I-140 information below regarding the upgrade schedule and when new petitions may be filed requesting premium processing."" Despite this statement that additional information is available a close examination failed to turn up any additional information. It is hoped that additional information regarding how NIW premium processing will be phased in will be posted soon. USCIS is phasing in premium processing starting June 1, 2022 for ""previously filed Form I-140 petitions requesting E13 classification for multinational executives and managers,"" and ""additional"" E13 classified I-140 petitions will be eligible for premium processing starting on July 1, 20222. It is assumed that by ""additional"", USCIS means new petitions will be eligible for premium processing on July 1, 2022.
It appears that USCIS is phasing in premium processing for NIW petitions and that it will be longer than first hoped before newly filed NIW petitions will be eligible for premium processing. Once more information is available and there is more clarity as to the implementation of premium processing for NIW petitions we will provide an update.


In the Brendan Rodgers era, Liverpool have struggled in defence. 43, 50, and 48 have been the totals for goals conceded in the past three Premier League campaigns. The first two seasons featured a strong attack that produced a healthy goal difference; positive goal difference of 79 across that period testified to the progress being made by the club. Was it sustainable? Probably not without a fully fit deadly goalscorer in Daniel Sturridge and a magical Luis Suárez. There is also the defensive midfielder question, but perhaps that should be left for another time.
Last season's sobering lessons have underlined the need for balance. Even if Liverpool's potent attack is somewhat restored by the signings made over the summer, a considerable improvement will be needed from the defensive side of the team. Jan Molby, a former Red, thinks that Liverpool's defensive work before the season has been witnessed already in the form of two clean sheets. In his Liverpool Echo column, Molby expressed his confidence on the detail and work carried out over the summer.
Christian Benteke took the headlines with his winner against Bournemouth but I was more intrigued by the defence. Some of the players who did well in the win against Stoke City were encouraging once more. Particularly in terms of building defensive partnerships.You don't have to be a genius to determine what Liverpool have been working on most during pre-season. Whereas we have pressed all over the pitch in the past - and still do - now the players are very, very quick to drop into position when we are without the ball. That's discipline. That's something you work on in training. And that has made us a different team to the one that ended last season. It is working well so far - you can't do any better than two clean sheets in your first two games. And the centre-backs in particular have benefited from being positioned a little further back.
Alberto Moreno has been dropped to play the extremely promising Joe Gomez out of position while the club's finest centre back cannot find a way into the side ahead of two inferior players. Still, Liverpool have been largely resolute in defence with the predictably solid Nathaniel Clyne as the club's outstanding performer so far. Dejan Lovren has been more competent than expected after last season's risible displays, although he will need to do more to justify a place ahead of Mamadou Sakho.
Arsenal, with their typical attractive approach to playing the world's most popular sport, are next up for Liverpool. An unblemished trip to Stoke and repelling AFC Bournemouth, with all due respect, will not be as easy as producing a defensively organised performance against Wenger's disciples. The preferred central midfield partnership of Jordan Henderson and James Milner will be scrutinised, especially as the services of Lucas Leiva have been judged by Brendan Rodgers to be superfluous for his Liverpool squad.
Can Liverpool's midfield ably support the defensive unit at the Emirates? Will Liverpool's four players in defence play like they're smoking the right stuff in North London? Monday will have all the answers.


Two Sydney brothers have been jailed for at least 30 and 27 years respectively over their plot to blow up an Etihad plane with a bomb hidden in a meat grinder.
Khaled Khayat, 52, and Mahmoud Khayat, 34, were found guilty earlier this year of conspiring between January and July 2017 to prepare or plan a terrorist act.
The plot - which included their older brother Tarek Khayat who fought for Islamic State in Syria - involved blowing up the plane and carrying out a lethal poisonous gas attack.
A bomb hidden in a meat grinder was to be put into the luggage of their unsuspecting brother, Amer Khayat, who was flying to Abu Dhabi.
But the plan was abandoned when the luggage was found to be overweight at Sydney Airport.
In the NSW Supreme Court on Tuesday, Justice Christine Adamson jailed Khaled Khayat for 40 years and Mahmoud Khayat for 36 years, with non-parole periods of 30 and 27 years respectively.
"That no one suffered physical injury or was killed does not make it other than extremely serious," the judge said.
"The objective seriousness was very high for each offender."
Such crimes jeopardised the sense of safety the community was entitled to experience, the judge said.
The brothers - who both maintain their innocence - had migrated to Australia, settled here, had loving families and appeared to have integrated into the community.
Neither had attended the mosque regularly, but both prayed five times a day and had apparently sympathised with Islamic State through their religion and the deaths of relatives fighting in Syria.
The judge found that they themselves were not prepared to be martyrs for the cause.
She acknowledged the "very onerous" conditions of their incarceration in the High Risk Management Correctional Centre at Goulburn.

DIY Backdrop Ideas
Various creative and cost-effective options for DIY backdrops can enhance the overall aesthetic of a photo booth, adding an extra touch of charm and uniqueness to the photographs taken. One option is to create a backdrop using paper streamers or ribbons. By attaching them to a curtain rod or stringing them across a wall, an eye-catching and dynamic background can be achieved. Another idea is to use fabric as a backdrop. This allows for endless possibilities in terms of colors, patterns, and textures. Fabrics such as lace, tulle, or sequined material can add elegance and glamour to the photos. Additionally, utilizing props such as balloons or cut-out shapes made from cardboard can create depth and visual interest in the backdrop. These props can be easily customized to match the theme or occasion of the event. Lastly, utilizing natural elements like flowers or leaves can bring a touch of nature into the photo booth environment. Whether it’s hanging flower garlands or creating a foliage wall, incorporating organic materials adds a fresh and vibrant element to the photoshoots. With these DIY backdrop ideas, individuals are able to personalize their photo booth experience while staying within budget constraints.
Props and Accessories
Diverse options for props and accessories can enhance the experience of capturing memorable moments in a photo booth setting. Props serve as interactive tools that allow individuals to express their creativity and add an element of fun to their photos. There are several types of props available, including hats, masks, glasses, and signs. These props can be themed according to different occasions or events, such as weddings, birthdays, or holidays.
In addition to traditional props, there are also various digital accessories that can be used in a photo booth. These include virtual backgrounds or filters that can be applied directly to the photos. Virtual props and accessories provide an opportunity for individuals to experiment with different looks and styles without the need for physical objects.
Props and accessories not only add entertainment value but also help create a more engaging atmosphere during the photo booth experience. They encourage guests to let loose and have fun while posing for pictures. Furthermore, they provide opportunities for social interaction among participants as they share and exchange props.
When choosing props and accessories for a photo booth, it is essential to consider the theme or purpose of the event. The selection should align with the overall aesthetic or concept being portrayed in order to create visually cohesive images. By incorporating diverse options for props and accessories into a photo booth setup, individuals can elevate their experience by adding an extra layer of excitement and personalization to their captured memories.
Lighting and Set-Up
Lighting and set-up play a crucial role in creating visually stunning and captivating photographs in a photo booth setting. The right lighting can enhance the mood and atmosphere, highlight the subjects, and bring out their best features. To achieve optimal lighting, it is important to consider factors such as the type of event, location, and desired aesthetic. Natural light is often preferred for its softness and flattering effect on the subjects’ skin tones. However, when natural light is not available or insufficient, artificial lighting options such as studio lights or LED panels can be used to create a well-lit environment.
In addition to lighting, proper set-up is essential for a successful photo booth experience. The layout of the photo booth should be designed in a way that maximizes space utilization while providing enough privacy for individuals to feel comfortable posing for photos. A clean backdrop or themed decorations can also add visual interest to the photographs.
Furthermore, incorporating props and accessories into the set-up can enhance the overall experience by allowing individuals to express their creativity and personalities. Props like hats, glasses, signs, or themed items can add an element of fun and playfulness to the photographs.
By paying attention to lighting techniques and carefully planning the set-up of a photo booth, photographers can create visually appealing images that leave a lasting impression on guests.
Photo Booth Themes
Immersing the audience in a whimsical wonderland, themed photo booths transport individuals into another world and ignite their imaginations. These photo booth themes add an extra element of fun and excitement to any event or gathering. From classic themes like Hollywood glamour and retro vintage to more unique options such as under the sea or outer space, there are endless possibilities for creating a captivating photo booth experience.
One popular theme is the Hollywood glamour theme, which captures the glitz and glamor of old Hollywood. This theme typically includes props like feather boas, top hats, and oversized sunglasses, allowing participants to channel their inner movie star.
For those who prefer a more nostalgic feel, retro vintage themes offer a trip down memory lane. These booths often feature vintage props like record players, old telephones, and antique cameras. Participants can dress up in clothing from different eras and strike poses that reflect the style of the time.
On the other hand, more imaginative themes like under the sea or outer space can transport participants to different worlds altogether. Underwater-themed booths might include props like seashells, mermaid tails, and inflatable fish while outer space-themed booths could have astronaut helmets, spaceship models, and galactic backdrops.
Themed photo booths provide an opportunity for individuals to escape reality momentarily and immerse themselves in a playful setting. With various options available ranging from classic Hollywood glamour to imaginative underwater or outer space adventures, these themed experiences add an extra layer of excitement to any event or gathering.
Sharing and Printing Options
There are various options available to individuals when it comes to sharing and printing their photos from the themed photo booths, allowing them to easily capture and preserve the memories created during the event. One option is to provide a digital download link or QR code that attendees can use to access their photos online. This allows for quick and convenient sharing on social media platforms or through email. Additionally, some photo booth services offer instant printing capabilities, providing attendees with physical copies of their pictures on the spot. These printed photos often come in different sizes and formats, such as traditional prints or polaroids, allowing individuals to choose according to their preferences. Another popular option is to create personalized photo albums or guest books where guests can leave a copy of their picture along with a message for the hosts. This not only serves as a tangible keepsake but also provides an interactive element for guests during the event. Overall, these sharing and printing options enhance the overall experience of using themed photo booths by ensuring that participants have easy access to their captured memories while also offering various ways of preserving these moments for years to come.

Five Kenyan startups Selected to take part in JICA’s NINJA Accelerator
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has selected five Kenyan startups to take part in The NINJA Accelerator that offers startups access to a tailored program and the chance to scale internationally.
JICA is an organization that coordinates official development assistance for the Japanese government in developing countries; the organization expanded its NINJA Accelerator to Kenya in partnership with the Double Feather Partners (DFP), the Deloitte Tohmatsu consortium, and GrowthAfrica in February 2021 after an initial launch in Ethiopia.
The program was kicked off with a virtual event hosted in Nairobi; it was highlighted that the five startups will take part in an international experience that incorporates Nairobi, Tokyo, and Silicon Valley.
The five selected startups were chosen from a pool of 178 applicants. The selected startups are e-commerce and logistics platform Sokowatch, savings startup Kwara, agri-tech platform Cinch Markets, trucking marketplace Amitruck, and feminine hygiene product manufacturer Zana Africa.
Keiji Katai, senior director of the Private Sector Development Group at JICA speaking on the partnership said that JICA was pleased with the quality of the startups that applied for the cohort. In his words, Katai said “We were extremely impressed by the quality of the applicants for this first cohort”, said “While we were only able to select five, it is exciting to see what young entrepreneurs in Kenya, and undoubtedly Africa, have to offer.

I was notified yesterday that the pack of smokes I sent to a friend in the UK arrived safely and in surprisingly excellent condition.
For those out there who smoke, the type of cig are cloves made by Djarum. There are several kinds (Vanilla, Menthol, Cherry, etc.) I think (but not sure) I was introduced to these a long time ago by Kat. They are wickedly expensive ($5 to $7 a pack) so I only get them on rare occasions.
This is the only type of smoke that even the most militant non-smoker will actually not mind because they smell exactly like incense sticks.
You know the infamous "Eww!" followed by the "scrunch" face non-smokers do? They don't do any of that when around someone smoking a Djarum. That's how good these are.
It's also interesting that these cloves make crackling noises when smoking them. But not to worry, they're supposed to do that. 🙂

Long before the Air Force Academy occupied the land in northwest
Colorado Springs, the humble town of Husted played a key role in
the development of the Pikes Peak region.
Husted, infamously known for the great train wreck of 1909, was
a community about six miles south of Monument. It was named after
Calvin Husted, who homesteaded in the area in the 1860s. Calvin
began his sawmills in 1867 and supplied wood to builders all over
the state. Many of the buildings later constructed in Colorado
Springs came from his mills, where oxen and horses made the trek
The town of Husted was once an important stop on the Santa Fe
and Rio Grande railroads. It had a railroad station, roundhouse and
section house, and a railroad bunk house. In Husted, passengers and
workers could shop at the local stores, eat at a restaurant, or
even get refreshed at the local saloon. Husted also had a church,
schoolhouse and post office. The post office was discontinued on
Oct. 15, 1920, and mail was then sent to Colorado Springs.
When the automobile became popular in the early 1900s, Husted
even had several filling stations along the highway. They were in
operation until the 1950s when the Air Force Academy purchased the
Local Tri-Lakes author Lucille Lavelett, in her 1979 book
“Monument’s Faded Neighboring Communities and its Folklore,” tells
of fascinating tales passed down to her from long-time residents of
the area. Lavelett writes of the time a Mr. Davis and Job Talbert
were “killed and scalped by Indians” near the Husted mill.
Lavelett also mentions a story of an event that happened in 1868
involving Henry B. Walker and his wife and child. They were living
at what was the Dirty Woman Ranch in Monument when Indians took the
mother and three-day-old child, tied them to a tree, and burned the
house down. They did not harm the mother or child, however, just
tied them to the tree. The next year, the Walkers built a house in
Husted near today’s North Academy entrance. Mr. Walker started the
first Sunday school at Husted in 1913.
Another tale takes place during Prohibition when federal agents
discovered a “very large still” in Stanley Canyon. The buildings in
today’s Cadet area are below Stanley Canyon.
One story that needs no embellishment is the great Husted train
wreck of 1909. According to newspaper reports of the day, on Aug.
14 of that year, at about 10:25 a.m., there was a head-on collision
between northbound passenger train No. 8 and southbound passenger
No. 1 on the Denver and Rio Grande. The wreck, according to the
article, was due to the misunderstanding of the orders.
Ten people died, including Jack Gossage — the grandfather of
future Major League Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher and Colorado
Springs resident Rich “Goose” Gossage. Jack was a fireman on the
helper engine (No. 8) and lived in Husted. He had just waved to his
wife as the train passed his home. He was struck by the No. 1 and
trapped between the engine and the tender.
There were also 40 to 50 people who were injured. Spectacular
photos taken that day by Wilbur Fulker, and his brother, Iven, show
three engines in the ditch, two baggage cars, including the
contents, were smashed to kindling wood, and several passenger
coaches were badly damaged as the result the collision.
The coroner’s jury, which investigated the crash, returned its
verdict six days later and found several people guilt of criminal
negligence: engineers Lezsig and Hollingsworth, fireman Wright,
conductor Dalton and brakeman McElhern. An order was then sent to
Denver to arrest the members of the train crew.
