Independent Safeguarding Authority
I used to think that the United States was pretty intense in its fear mongering of all those "what if" scenarios… What if 9/11 were to happen again? What if we ignore the threat to our security and Al-Queda sneaks into the country and kidnaps your children and brainwashes them into zombie sleeper agents?
But the more I read the Guardian and the more I look at the politics of Great Britain, the happier I am to be in Canada.
There has been some concern of a recent proposal put forth by the "Independent Safeguarding Authority":
Set up in response to the murders of Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells by school caretaker Ian Huntley in 2002, the Independent Safeguarding Authority will vet all individuals who work with children from October this year, requiring them to register with a national database for a fee of £64.
The Vetting and Barring Scheme is managed by the Independent Safeguarding Authority, which was set up in response to the 2002 Soham murders, committed by former school caretaker Ian Huntley. It kicks off this October, requiring the 11.3m people across the education, care and health industries who work with children to register – for a £64 fee – on a national database.
Philip Pullman, noted children's author, has stated that he will not comply with any such requests and I think that he hit it right on the head.
There are several reasons why this form of "security" or "vetting" is ridiculous. First off, when you invite someone to speak at your school, for the most part they are people of some importance: scholars or academics, writers, film-makers, actors, people who have a name. I mean why else would they be invited there. So I'm thinking that most of these types of people are not going to be doing things that are harmful towards children.
Secondly, if these noted persons who are invited into the school are being left in a position where they are on a one on one basis with a child, then your concern should not be directed towards the person who has been invited into the school but the school administration itself and the way they handle your children and their safety.
Third, I am not saying that we should not inspect people who come into schools. This whole issue is in response to a murder that took place after a caretaker at a school attacked two students. If the schools want to require a mandatory check of all bags and/or some kind of metal detection, whatever, by all means go for it.
But to require people to pay money to enter a database, hmm, why not ask them to wear some kind of insignia on their sleeve so that we can identify these persons.
Think about it, what if this starts a precedent where Academics are singled out. It's a slippery and scary slope.
I'm glad that people like Philip Pullman are speaking out against this type of inane fear mongering. I'm inclined to agree with him as he asked why he: "should have to pay £64 to a government agency to be given a certificate saying 'I'm not a paedophile'. It's so ludicrous that it's almost funny, but it's not funny, it's actually rather dispiriting and sinister."
What's scary though is that the current "Children's Laureate" thinks that writers should comply.
I'm all for the safety of children, nothing is more important. But, this seems like a bit much.
Interested in your thoughts?
Anyone who has "regular" or "intense" contact with children or vulnerable adults will by law have to sign up to the Vetting and Barring Scheme from November 2010.
"Regular" is defined as more than once a month and "intense" as three times a month or more, the Home Office says. BBC.com
Ok, so this seems a bit more reasonable as people who have authority and are likely to be models for students to look up to should be held under a more rigorous standard, as we expect the same checks on our teachers and principals.
I still see this as a bit scary though. At what point do we say enough is enough, should are children be locked up at home and only taught by parents, because no matter how much they vett and interogate there will always be an element that gets through, its horrid to envision, but its true.
Just had a very intense discussion with Mrs. Karriana about how far is too far when it comes to this issue. As much as I respect these types of policies and laws to keep children safe, I worry about the precedent it sets. How much "Think of the children….." fear mongering can we have and at what civil cost? Something I want people to consider before they attack me for letting the pedophiles into the school system. The Government does not discriminate. It is often very much black/white. Suppose you commit a minor offense as a young adult, you get caught with some pot or something like that, and now you have a record. If policies like the one set above in UK are put forth it sets a precedent that allows for legislation to be passed that prevents anyone with a record from entering school grounds. So now you're screwed for something early on in life, as if people do not grow up or change or sometimes shit just happens. What if you get caught with a bag that is not your own and heaven forbid the police mess up with evidence, b/c we know that doesn't happen, what then, you're punished for life. It's all or none when it comes to children. Parents are fallible and I'm not saying let rapists into the school, but things happen in life, we have to be weary that in the name of the children, our own civil liberties are not lost. Something to consider.
Blogging about Blogging..
Yes, another blog about blogging. Been very busy lately with presentations (85 in Medeviel Text & Social Control), papers, and theory readings. It's been a harsh couple of weeks but I have a bit of a break this weekend with Cdn. Thanksgiving being a long one.
I shall resume hilarious posts of a bookish nature tomorrow. Enjoy the cartoon Erin.
Banned Book Week
Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read is observed during the last week of September each year. Observed since 1982, this annual ALA event reminds Americans not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted. This year, 2008, marks BBW's 27th anniversary (September 27 through October 4).
BBW celebrates the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one's opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them. After all, intellectual freedom can exist only where these two essential conditions are met.
All this week I'll be randomly selecting books that have been "challenged" or "banned" and then sharing some of my own experiences with various "banned" reads. Check out this list of the most frequently "banned" books.
For a list of specific Canadian Books/Magazines that have been "challenged" or "banned", check out this link.(PDF)
— Here is an article selected from the PDF link above. —
Rowling, J.K. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of
Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
2000—The Durham (ON) Board of Education received numerous complaints about the
immensely popular Harry Potter books being read in classrooms throughout the board's
schools. A school board official said that the complaints came from fundamentalist
Christian parents.
Cause of objection—As is the case in at least 19 states of the U.S. and other parts of
Canada, parents were concerned that Harry Potter is engaged in wizardry, witchcraft, and
magic-making, and that these activities are inappropriate for young readers.
Update—After listening to the complaints, the administration decided to withdraw the
books from classroom use but left them in school libraries where they would be available
for book reports. One board member said she had wanted the books to be withdrawn
completely from the schools; another member said the board had never been asked to
decide the issue, so the books' withdrawal amounted to censorship. Several months later,
after a raucous public meeting, the board rescinded its decision to remove the books.
However, in other jurisdictions teachers have been asked not to use the books in the
classroom. This is said to have occurred in a school in Corner Brook (NF) and in
Rockwood Public School in Pembroke (ON). In 2002, the Niagara (ON) District School
Board turned down a parent's request for the removal of the books from area schools.
The parent said the books contained violence and promoted a religion (Wicca) which is
against the law in Ontario schools. She said that she had not read the books.
Huzzah for books!
It begins…
…another school year friendos. For those interested, this first term I'll be taking four courses.
Structuralist & Post Structuralist Theory, Writing the Environment, Old Norse, and Medieval Collections & Social Control.
It's a fair bit of work, but I think I can manage to stay afloat. While I will be working a full work week the way I've been working this past summer, there is some good news. I will only occasionally *knocks on wood* have to take the night audit shift. Last year I was working night audit every weekend and a full term of courses as well, so things have improved, at least this year I shall be able to achieve some normal sleep cycles.
As far as this week goes, I've already been given some assignments: yay for Nietzsche and "On Truth and Lying in a Non-Moral Sense".
I will probably be posting in a more relaxed manner as the school year begins, maybe not as regularly, but with occasional moments of fervor and energy as blogging for me is a release of stress, so as horrible as it is, I'll probably blog more when my readings and assignments really start to thicken as this is a nice and convenient way of avoiding that work.
Well, see you around kiddos. Cheers.

In the premier episode of Pro-Am Poker Equalizer, actress Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and controversial former baseball all-star Jose Canseco square off against Phil Ivey, Erick Lindgren, Daniel Negreanu, and John Juanda.
The last time Ivey and Lindgren faced each other was at FullTiltPoker.Net's Pro Showdown. Lindgren won the tournament's $600K top prize, while Ivey went home in last place and empty handed. No one likes making the walk of shame first, so this time, look for Ivey to try and send his Pro Showdown rival to the exit early. Negreanu and Juanda are best friends away from the table, but that all goes away with $500K on the line.
The two fierce competitors will use everything they know about each other to try and bust the other one out of the game. The ace up Cheryl Hines' sleeve is her sense of humor, but it won't be so funny to this table full of men when she's taking away their chips. And with Jose Canseco in the game, there's always the danger that tilting the former slugger will blow up in a player's face.

GE Announces Menu Directed Inspection Software for Visual Inspections MDI software guides VideoProbe inspections, auto-generates data reportWaygate Technologies (former GE Inspection Technologies)313, Hürth, Germany
"With the launch of MDI in conjunction with the new Everest XLG3 8.4mm probe, the XLG3 is the most capable VideoProbe solution available today," said Bradford Morse, Global Product Manager for Software Solutions, GE Inspection Technologies.
MDI is a solution that provides a guided inspection, where context is automatically added to images that are captured during a visual inspection. Users first use a PC or XLG3 desktop to create a directed inspection. Following, the inspection is conducted using MDI, which delivers annotations and file names to the captured images. Lastly, users generate a report directly from the XLG3.
The guided inspection reduces reporting errors, improves data flow for asset management, increases the speed and ease of sharing data and eliminates post inspection reporting with the click-to-report feature, which automatically creates and distributes an inspection report.
MDI connects with GE's Rhythm software, a powerful data management platform. Rhythm Visual is a broad and flexible archiving tool, which stores and shares images and data, ultimately enabling data mining. The DICONDE image standard ensures long-term data utility and enables multi-system communication.
GE's Everest XLG3 system is a video borescope that offers a new way of enhancing inspection productivity. Advanced features include improved image quality, QuickChange probes that quickly reconfigure probe diameter and length, real-time data management and network connectivity for collaboration during live inspections.

GWAR Frontman Dave Brockie Found Dead at 50
Dave Brockie, better known as GWAR frontman Oderus Urungus, was found dead in his Richmond, Va. home Sunday night, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.
Brockie was 50 years old. The cause of his death is still unknown, but detectives don't suspect foul play.
Brockie founded GWAR in 1984, and the legendary heavy metal band released 13 albums—most recently, 2013's Battle Maximus. Brockie was the only remaining founding member of the band, and it's still unclear whether GWAR will continue without him.
The band had recently returned from a short tour of Japan.

What do Christians Believe?
There are three main things which Christians beleive:
- That there's a God who created all things
- That he touched this planet in a special way 2000 years ago when he sent his son, Jesus, into this world on the first Christmas Day (the incarnation)
- That Jesus Christ died on the cross and was raised to life again after 3 days (the resurrection).
Christians understand God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Father – God created each one of us and loves every human being as God's beloved child.
Son – God revealed himself in the historical person of Jesus and it's through his life, death and resurrection that we know and love God, and make sense of life, before and after death.
Holy Spirit – Jesus told his disciples that he wouldn't leave them alone and that when he went away another helper would come to them. This helper is God's Holy Spirit who is alive, loving and active today.
What is a Christian?
You could look in a dictionary to find an official answer to this question – the Oxford English Dictionary defines a Christian as:
1. A person who has received Christian Baptism;
2. An adherent of Christ's teaching.
Whilst there's nothing wrong with these definitions they don't really capture the full depth of what Christianity is all about. Being a Christian is all about relationship with God through Jesus Christ and the relationships we find with other Christians because of that.
How Does Being a Christian Affect Your Life?
Being a Christian involves much more than going to church.
When you become a Christian you start on a life-long journey of following Jesus' teaching and example. This will mean trying to apply what we know of God through Jesus to every area of life.
Some important aspects of a Christian life are:
- Worship;
- Prayer;
- Reading the Bible;
- Seeking a fairer society throughout the world;
- Repentance and Forgiveness;
- Exploring spirituality;
- Learning more about God.
Do I Need to go to Church to be a Christian?
It is possible to be a Christian without going to church but to really have a full relationship with God you do need to have relationships with other Christians and the easiest way to develop these is to go to your local church.
If you are thinking of going to church for the first time or are considering coming back to church after a break of some years you might find the following book helpful.
Going to Church by John Pritchard (Published by SPCK Publishing, May 2009, ISBN: 9780281058105)
'Written by the Bishop of Oxford, this is a light-hearted look at what to expect for anyone considering attending church for the first time, or considering returning after a break.'
These websites also might be of help if you are thinking about becoming a Christian:
REJesus which explores many different aspects of Christianity
Chrstianity website which tries to answer many of the questions you may well be asking
The Church of England's faith page which explains what it means to be a follower of Jesus

The fifth manner –and also these aren't of necessity in sequence is non profit advertisements. With payperclick advertisements that can be made a whole lot of points transpire. Payperclick, to get certain, isn't quite as effective whilst one other 4 techniques whom I have merely cited. First, the wonderful thing concerning payperclick is that you are able to literally install a free accounts together with Google or even Yahoo now and also have 1, 000 traffic everywhere and I have done that previously. I have developed a couple hundred readers every day in payperclick campaigns, which means that you may certainly do so, but transformation speeds are normally always a whole lot reduce with non profit generated readers. All over again, this is exactly the reason why I really revolve around informative promotion and checklist construction clickfunnels pricing table.
Let us view that you could crank out traffic together with forums on the web, together with blogs on line, using Internet 2.0 on the web, nevertheless the issue together with every one that, community forums, weblogs, Internet 2.0, is it is much more difficult to measure. "Should I really do so really am I really going to find this outcome," where as using informative article advertisements and checklist construction it really is rather simple to express"Should I try so I will find this outcome. When I compose 100 content I will receive 1, 000 traffic every calendar month, then I'm going to secure longer time, and also more another" The same task using list construction;
the event that you've got 1, 000 readers it is easy to generate 2 or even three million visits each and every month together with all those 1, 000 readers. It has really a predictable variety also it's going work exactly the exact same every month, where as using Web or blogs 2.0 it surely is dependent upon what everyone wants and also how you're placing. The web travels down and up monthly; it is perhaps not at all something which's only very persistent, also that I enjoy balancing in every thing I do. Idon't desire to earn $ a hundred grand month and the subsequent couple of. Nicely, and also you go,"Well, which will be fine as that has 3 3 grand monthly " I actually don't enjoy this. I might preferably do 20 grand each and every month or two thirty grand each and every 30 days. In the event you are only starting, my notion will be that you prefer to do 10 grand monthly or two twice grand monthly every month compared to truly have a windfall thirty day period and have five , also you also get sad as nothing is taking place. I love that sense.
Range seven that can be almost certainly variety 100 however I will bypass anything. Materials such as banner ads, guaranteed targeted visitors and also a lot of the that-that items can operate in substantial amounts, you have only got to perform lots of analyzing to generate all of that transpire. I might stick with all the initial a few: informative promotion, list construction, and joint ventures. I forgot there. I had put up that there close one, or 2 right into there; joint ventures along with different men and women, as you obtain only a massive quantity of traffic. The main reason I really don't always set that in my listings of visitors would be to get some body who is commencing it really is at times hard to find traffic visitors, nonetheless it truly is some thing that you are certainly able to know how to really do.

So what is our reconditioning process? It is what we do that separates us from other equipment dealers.
Comprehensive Equipment Inspection. Factory trained mechanics perform a comprehensive 25 point inspection on every piece of reconditioned equipment we sell. Years of experience and training guide them as they inspect all the major mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems on your telehandler.
Replace high wear parts. Over the years we've learned a thing or two about rough terrain forklifts. We know the makes. We know the models. More importantly, we know what parts wear out, which systems fail, and what should be fixed. Boom hoses, wear pads, gaskets, o-rings, we know what to replace in order for your telehandler to run trouble-free. We replace these parts so you don't have to.
Major mechanical service. The most important step in the process. We perform a compression check on the engine and perform rebuilds if required. We inspect and make necessary repairs to the axles. We check the brakes, trunions, ring and pinion, and spider gears. We perform compression tests on the transmission (all gears - forward and reverse). We also drain all the fluids and verify that they contain no metal shavings (a sure sign of trouble). After testing the transmission, we make required repairs.
Repainting & Re-decaling. We want your forklift to look as good as it runs. After we finish the mechanical service on your forklift we make it look good too. We hand sand the telehandler. Then we repaint it and replace all the factory decals. We even replace the operator's seat too. When the job is done you have a forklift that looks great. You'll feel like you got a new machine, but know that you paid thousands less.
Documentation. This may not seem like a big deal, but it is. When you buy used machines from others you get a forklift. You probably will be missing the Operator Guide, the Load charts, and the Lube charts. We make sure all our reconditioned equipment have these important documents when it is shipped to you. Safely operating your telehander, and knowing how to care for it, is important to us.

Leofric doodled idly in the margins of his history notes, trying not to think of being stuck in Eriko's room as boring. It helped a little to think of it as being grounded; it made him feel more like a typical rebellious teenager, and not like a horrible, awful, worthless, why couldn't he do anything right—
The tip of his pencil snapped, rolling gently off the page and landing on the floor with a quiet tic. He watched it go, then pulled out a pencil sharpener from his backpack and started sharpening his pencil for the third time. Not that he needed it sharpened, since he'd already finished his homework. But he hadn't been ordered to stay in his mistress' room until he finished his homework; he'd been ordered to stay there and finish his homework. So now he was only under orders to stay in the room, and he had nothing to do. Continue reading

Anyone who knows my two loves, film and literature, can easily understand why I would turn to screenwriting as a creative output. Having written criticism for The Index for the last several years I decided to answer the challenge given to every critic, "You try!" I had dipped my foot in the deep end of playwriting in the past but never had I completed a screenplay. I have numerous "ideas" and "concepts" for movies lingering in notebooks but none of them had ever been brought to fruition. With the SIP, I knew it was time to venture into the field of which I hope to one day be an active part. I began with a genre, or type of film. I knew I wanted this project to be a more personal endeavor then an action movie or a thriller. So I started by deciding to write about people I knew. I began by simply copying down notes or things people said into my journal. The conversation about artistic inspiration betwen Bill and Jason in scene 12 comes almost verbatim from a conversation I participated in with Mat Calvert and Sam O'Conner-Divelbiss. From these notes, which ranged from one word ideas to whole scenes, I constructed a lead character, Bill Thomson.

Huddle Up! Upgrade Your Home Entertainment Before the NFL Playoffs
Catch All the Action in 4K Ultra HD and With Surround Sound
The weather outside Mercedes Benz Stadium may be frightful come Sunday, February 3, but you can be sitting comfortably in your media room and feel just as much a part of the action as Super Bowl LIII kicks off.
Why? Because you still have the time to upgrade your home audio video system with the latest, sharpest, and coolest technologies this year.
With the NFL playoffs just around the corner, now is the perfect time to update your home entertainment system to one that looks great, sounds incredible, and is easy to use. And if you don't currently have a home entertainment space, it certainly isn't too late to build one now in time for the postseason.
Interior Technologies is here to help install your system as Southern California's local home audio video expert.
How do you get started? Here's a breakdown of some smart upgrades you can make to your system to get the most out of the postseason glory!
Kickoff: Sony UHD Smart TV
There's no better way to start your home audio video improvement project than by upgrading your television. After all, why settle for watching the Rams play in the playoffs for just the second time since 2004 from a standard HD television?
Sony's latest flagship TV, the 65-inch A9F Master Series 4K UHD OLED, sports everything you could want in a modern 4K television. The A9F's OLED screen is what sets it apart – with deep blacks and stunning contrast, you will enjoy billions of colors that will make the greens of the football field vibrant and lifelike. And with a best-in-class 120Hz refresh rate, you can watch the action without missing a moment. Watching a game on the A9F makes you feel as if you are at the stadium. And it's incredibly rare that a television can produce that feeling.
The A9F also offers an improved Android interface, making it easier to find and select the menu options you need.
But if you want to hear CBS' Jim Nantz and Tony Romo (on his first-ever Super Bowl broadcast) in the best sound quality this Super Bowl Sunday, using your TV audio simply won't be enough.
First and Goal: Sonos Surround Sound
As we mentioned in the section above, TVs just don't offer adequate audio. If you want to enjoy the best-possible game-watching experience, it's essential that you upgrade to a surround sound system. But that doesn't mean you have to deal with wires – in fact, Sonos manufactures entirely wireless surround sound systems that are just as high-quality as any wired solution. And you can enjoy one in your home without the hassle and mess of wiring.
Starting with the Sonos Beam, you can instantly upgrade your TV to three audio channels of pure excitement and rich sound. The compact soundbar supports native Amazon Alexa and AirPlay 2. The Beam also pairs with Play:1 speakers and the Sub subwoofer for a wireless, 5.1 surround sound experience.
If your media room or viewing space is in a large room, we also recommend the Sonos Playbar. The Playbar is more powerful soundbar with built-in nine speaker drivers. Pair the Playbar with two Play:1 surround speakers and the Sub, and you can enjoy crystal-clear and powerful game audio throughout your space – without the worry of wires.
We at Interior Technologies are a factory-trained and authorized Sonos dealer that can design, specify and install the ideal Sonos audio system for any room in your Southern California home. You don't have to handle the installation and calibration process alone.
Two Point Conversion: Savant Integrated Control
Just like a good quarterback, an integrated control system can bring your technology team together. Connect your TV, cable box, sound system, lights, shades and more with a universal interface that makes everything easy to use.
Savant offers plenty of options for commanding your media room system, from the Savant Pro application on your smartphone or tablet, to the Savant Remote featuring a built-in touchscreen, to the Savant Touch – its wall-mounted or table-top touchscreen product.
With the ability to control every technology in your media room from your smartphone, remote or touchscreen device, you won't ever have to miss a play to lower the shades or to find the correct remote to turn up the volume. Best of all, you even can expand a Savant integrated control system to other parts of your home, too.
Is your home audio video system ready for Super Bowl LIII? Make sure you have everything you need for the remainder of the NFL season and beyond with these smart upgrades.
Our team at Interior Technologies can help you not only find the right products for your viewing space, but we also can expertly install and calibrate your system for you.
Ready to begin the home audio-video upgrade at your house in the Manhattan Beach area or beyond? Just click here to start today.

I thought I was a pretty savvy traveler, but one day in Nairobi put paid to that idea. Luckily I'm now accompanied by my friend Laurie from home, who turns out to be much less trusting than I am. Here's what happened:
We were walking in downtown Nairobi, on a bit of a mission. Somehow I managed to abandon some key pieces of gear in my Kampala hotel room as I was packing for the flight out. Among the missing: four blank 2GB memory cards for my camera (thank God they weren't the full ones), the mobile broadband thingy from England (it was locked to a UK carrier anyways) and – the real show-stopper - the charger for my camera batteries. I have no idea how I managed to leave this stuff behind. I tend to be diligent to the point of OCD when packing, so it's a mystery how this stuff managed to escape. The only thing I can think might have happened is that while I was rearranging things in one of my small gadget cases I took the stuff out and neglected to put it back in. Regardless, I really couldn't carry on without being able to charge my camera, so we were off to find a replacement charger. I was also trying to get some service for my cell phone, which spontaneously stopped doing email and internet just before I left Uganda. I should have know it was too good to be true.
Anyways, we were strolling along the street in the city centre, and got sort of accosted by a drunk guy. He wasn't hugely threatening or anything, just sort of annoying, and he was quickly warned off in Swahili by a friendly local man passing by. We struck up a conversation with the friendly man – a tall and skinny guy with a nice face named Hubert. He was a teacher, and interested in us, and we walked with him for a ways and enjoyed his company. And then he asked if we'd like to sit for a minute and talk a bit – he was a teacher after all, and interested in learning more about us, and Canada. And as we crossed the street to the café Laurie leaned over to me and muttered, "Are we being scammed?". I figured not – the guy just seemed so pleasant and genuine and quite knowledgeable. (Yeah, yeah, I know. But you weren't there, so shut up.)
Once we were in the café, we sat and had glasses of mango juice, and chatted some more. Then Hubert pulled out a piece of paper that purported to be some kind of Tanzanian immigration application document. He was fleeing his native Zimbabwe as a refugee from political violence. His family had been the subject of terrible violence at the hands of government forces – some killed, some survived, all fled. The remaining family members were being taken care of by a local church, but the church was failing them, and they needed food. He didn't want money, just food. Some rice, something. I was weakening. It's not like he was asking for money, so how could it be a scam? Then the pitch changed. We have so much, even just a dollar from each of us… Laurie and I exchanged a glance. And Laurie was firm. ""No, sorry, we can't do that. We'll pay for the juice, but we can't help you." She turned to me, "Are you ready to go?". And we got out of there quickly, though I still really didn't get it until Laurie said, "That was a scam. He and the drunk guy were working together." "Really?" I said. "Oh yes." So there you go. The anatomy of a scam, and thank you Laurie.
I was not a big fan of Nairobi. On top of Mr. Hubert Scammy Scammerson, the streets were packs with touts pushing different safari tours. After a while I felt like I needed a t-shirt that said "NO THANK YOU, I'M ALREADY BOOKED ON A SAFARI." Add to this the fact that we were chasing around trying to find the stupid battery charger (successfully, eventually), and trying to get my cell phone fixed (unsuccessfully, frustratingly), and it was a bit of a wearing day. We did manage to find zippers to fix my pants (again…), which felt like a major achievement.
The next day, though, was really excellent. We splurged and hired a taxi for half the day so we could run a few errands, but mostly so we could go to the Giraffe Centre, run by the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife. It was most perfectly excellent. Started in 1979 by the Kenyan grandson of a Scottish Earl, the Giraffe Centre rescues giraffes and breeds them. Apparently in the east of the country where the habitat is shrinking, farmers will often kill giraffes because they can end up eating crops. The Giraffe Centre steps in when they can to rescue these animals.
It turns out that giraffes look exactly like they are supposed to, and are beautiful and totally improbable at the same time. There are currently nine giraffes at the centre, and the best part about it is that they have a tall gazebo-like viewing stand set up and they encourage the giraffes to come right over and poke their heads in. You end up eyeball to eyeball with them, mostly because they also give out handfuls of Giraffe Chow, hence they like to hang around very very much.
I took approximately 9,528 photos of giraffes, because they really are fantastic. You should go over the Flickr and check out the set labeled "Nairobi" because it's mostly giraffes. You can even get the giraffes to "kiss" you by holding a large bit of giraffe chow between your lips. The giraffes then use their extremely long and agile tongues to pluck the bit of food from your mouth. When I did this it was quite a tidy operation, but whenever Laurie tried it she ended up with a big slobbery kiss.
We spent a lot of time a the Giraffe centre (but I still managed to leave without taking a video, which is really too bad. I'll try to be more on the ball in future.) I even bought a souvenir at the gift shop – a small carved wooden spoon with a giraffe on the end. Laurie is a bad influence in these matters because she's Christmas shopping, and she's going home in a couple of weeks with a nice big bag. I've been pretty restrained on the trip so far, but I think that once I get to Zambia I'll be sending a large parcel home. My camping gear will have to go somewhere, and I think I can pare down the clothing. And if a seven foot tall carved wooden giraffe makes it into the shipment, well, what's the harm in that?
So the giraffes were really excellent, and the day wasn't over yet. We had a bit more shopping to do, and a nice lunch, and I managed to squeeze in a run with the Sunday Afternoon Nairobi Hash House Harriers (SANH3). This meant that I had to miss most of the group meeting for my big overland trip, but it was the only chance I had to chalk up another international hash (#15!), so Laurie agreed to take notes, and I got a cab to the start point, despite the disapproval of Group Leader Dave (who actually turns out to be quite
nice and easygoing).
The SANH3 is a small hash – split off from the big Monday evening run that I'd have to miss because I'd be on the bumpy road to Arusha. It was the first time I've run with a group that was made up entirely of locals – normally there's a healthy portion of ex-pats , usually British and American. So I was the only pale face on the hash that day*. I met Wilson, the hare, and got my first taste of running with Kenyans when he told me that the "short" run that day would be about 7kms. The long run was supposed to be about 14kms. Clearly, these are people who are serious about their running. Right away I figured I should do the short trail, but somehow I found myself latched on to Wilson on the long trail. And it's not like I could risk being left behind, because the run went through one or two areas that were, shall we say, off the tourist trail. It was a long slog – hot, hilly and dusty. It was also the only has
h I've ever run with no checks or holds or stops of any kind. Just 14km of struggling to keep up and trying to see the infrequent trail marks (Wilson claimed there were lots of marks, but I think they must have been some kind of secret ones visible only to Kenyans. Which then made me speculate that this may be why the Kenyans do so well in long distance running – it's not that they're so much faster than others, it's just that they're the only ones who actually know where the race
route is. The other runners in a marathon probably end up doing 45 or 50kms just trying to find their way…)
There was a short circle after the run, and then I had a bit of an adventure trying to get back to the hotel to catch the end of the group meeting. I thought I had matters well sorted, since I had the number for the taxi we'd used earlier in the day, and failing that there were a lot of hashers who would be driving. Then my cabbie jammed out ("I am very far. Very far. No." Well thanks, buddy.) And the hashers were settling in for a long-ish night, and there was a lot of confusion about the location of the hotel. (In my defense, I would normally have noted the address of the hotel, but this hotel apparently doesn't have an address. I'm not kidding.) However, the hashers came through in the end and summoned me another cab who
could be trusted because Nairobi is not the kind of town where you want to get into just any cab, especially after dark. So off I went in this supposedly safe cab, and had a short but nerve-racking ride back to the hotel, which was interrupted for a short gas stop that I had to pay for. I admit I was feeling a bit nervous about the whole business, but I did end up getting back safely.
However, when we finally pulled out the next morning I can safely say that I shed no tears seeing Nairobi fade into the distance.
* I've never really been a visible minority before, but boy, in Africa I stick out all the time. I couldn't help but snort when I read this bit in the LP under the "Dangers and Annoyances" section: "Daypacks instantly mark you as a tourist." Yup, that's the first thing people notice about me for sure. "Hey, there's something different about that woman… what is it? I can't quite put my finger on it… Wait a minute! She's got a DAY PACK!"

Four tournaments into his season, Phil Mickelson showed signs of turning the corner Thursday.
Mickelson, nowhere near the leaderboard since his collapse at the U.S. Open last summer, eagled his final hole at Poppy Hills for a 7-under 65 to share the lead with rookie John Mallinger and Nick Watney in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Mickelson and Watney played at Poppy Hills, the easiest of three courses in the rotation because it is the farthest from the Pacific Ocean and shielded by trees.
The best round belonged to Mallinger, a 27-year-old rookie from Wilson High and Long Beach State who was on the wrong course. He was at Pebble Beach, which is exposed to the wind along the cliffs of the ocean. Mallinger, however, started his round on the 10th tee in the virtual calm of the morning, and gusts strong enough to topple a tree at Spyglass Hill didn't arrive until he had only five holes remaining.
Jim Furyk played his best golf in the worst conditions, making five birdies on the back nine at Spyglass Hill for a 67. Also at 67 was Arjun Atwal, another early starter at Pebble Beach who went without a bogey until the 18th.
Malaysian Open
England's Robert Rock shot a 6-under 66 – his lowest score in a PGA European Tour-sanctioned event – to take a one-stroke lead after the first round in Kuala Lumpur.
Australian Ladies Masters
South Korea's Ahn Sun-ju shot an 8-under 64 to take a two-stroke lead after the first round in Gold Coast, Australian.
Americans Cristie Kerr and Natalie Gulbis were five strokes back after 69s.

In 1826, when artist J. Wattles painted Anne Owen Tiernan's portrait, he saw a woman with wide-set eyes under arched brows, high cheek bones, a deep bow in her upper lip, and silver streaks in the dark hair she had tucked neatly under a cap and tied beneath her full chin—and he captured a hint of a smile in the finished likeness. Tiernan, fifty-one years old at the time, looks poised, confident, and satisfied, her small, long-fingered right hand holds her reading glasses in her lap and the left rests on the arm of a carved and upholstered sofa. At the time she sat for this portrait, Anne Tiernan had been married for thirty-three years to Luke Tiernan, wealthy Baltimore merchant and one of the most generous contributors to the Cathedral (Metropolitan) Church. Eight of their nine children had lived to adulthood and three had married, all into equally prominent Catholic families. This year, 1826, also marked nearly two decades of her service to the city's poor female children, primarily through her work with the Female Humane Association Charity School (FHACS). Fifteen years later, when she died in 1841, Anne Tiernan had helped manage the care, education, and religious training of Baltimore's destitute and orphaned girls, in this predominately Protestant organization, for nearly thirty years.(1)
Much of what survives on the activities of the charity school rests in the pages of the five reports published during the first thirty-six years of their work. The first report, published in 1803, includes a brief history of the group's founding in the fall of 1798. Concerned for the welfare of the city's indigent women during the coming winter, they organized themselves into a group, the Female Humane Association (FHA), and coordinated relief—primarily clothing and food. The FHA was one of several private organizations that strove, with church outreach and municipal offices, to "comfort the wretched," particularly seasonal wage workers, during the often brutally frigid seaport winters. Urban workers, often day laborers, stood idle for weeks and sometimes months when the frozen harbor immobilized the water trades, milling, manufacturing, and construction work. This then was the population that attracted the concerned, and sometimes sympathetic, benevolent efforts of the upper classes.(2)
The women of the FHA recounted that they had distributed the items themselves and saw firsthand the children "literally raised in the streets in filthiness, rags, and vice." The plight of poverty-stricken young girls alarmed them and they resolved to open a day school that they might "snatch the child from a fate similar to that of its mother . . . (and therefore) remedy the evil." Rudimentary education, they believed, including reading, writing, ciphering, and training in domestic skills would equip these children with "habits of industry." After several years in school they were bound out to work for local families and at the age of sixteen, able to take care of themselves, they went out on their own. On the surface, there is nothing unusual about this little school or the activities of the women who ran it. Like organizations existed in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Richmond, and Charleston, and the history of women's benevolent work is well studied.(3)
The striking difference in the Female Humane Association Charity School is that Catholic women served as managers from its founding in 1799 through at least 1834. Their names appear on each report, consistently two or three of the total nine chosen to oversee the activities and business of the school. Anne Tiernan was not among the founders, but the first Catholic members were Harriet Ghequierre, wife of German-born merchant Charles Ghequierre, and Mrs. S. W. Williamson (about whom little is known). The Catholic presence is solidified in the language of the first report, articulated in an organizational imperative that does not use the words Roman Catholic yet protects denominational representation:
"The Trustees and Directors of the School are not nor ever have been selected from any society of Christians in preference to another, but an equal number impartially taken from each society that discovered a wish to favour the scheme. This conduct became essential to the prosperity of the institution, claiming as it did the whole brotherhood of Christians for their patrons and supporters."(4)
Use of the term "the whole brotherhood of Christians" in such an inclusive fashion is unusual in reports of these organizations. Generally, groups referred to themselves as including "all denominations" or even all Christians, but actually meaning only white Protestants. Catholics could donate to the group if they wished, but were not chosen as officers.(5)
So why did this anomaly occur in the organization of a women's benevolent group in Baltimore? The answer surfaces in 1801, the year the women turned legal control of the FHACS over to a group of male trustees. Archbishop John Carroll's name appears on the articles of incorporation and on the 1803 trustee list as president of the board. Carroll, as head of the new nation's first archdiocese had created and fostered a broad-reaching ecumenism and cooperation with the city's other religious denominations, among them the "English Protestants" and the "German Protestants." Carroll's "Maryland" Catholics, heirs of the Calvert legacy of religious toleration, philosophically embraced those principles of religious freedom and ecumenism and moved fluidly among the Protestant upper class and the city's few established and wealthy Jewish families. Baltimore's "American" Catholics had more in common with their Protestant counterparts than with their coreligionists across the Atlantic and some, such as the Tiernans, Ghequierres, and Williamsons with the FHA charity school supported the archbishop's philosophy of practicing a "warm" charity.(6)
Catholic influence in the FHACS did not reside solely at the top of the organization. Among the earliest directives was the statement that in order to "prove their entire impartiality on the score of religious distinctions," they had included an appendix in which appeared the names of the "scholars," their religion, to whom they had been bound, and the religion of the family for whom they worked. The women's commitment to pan-denominational work is clear in the following resolution:
"That it be recommended to the Directors that in all cases where the children are dismissed from said school, capacitated to maintain themselves, that in all such cases where it can conveniently be done, they bind them to persons of the same religious persuasion of the children; provided it be consistent with the will of the parents or guardian of such children."(7)
The 1803 report details enrollments from June 23, 1800, when the school opened, through November 1801. Of the total twenty-five children who had been bound out for service, the managers identified eight Catholics, three of whom had been placed in Catholic homes. Twenty-seven girls remained at school, more than one third of them Catholic.(8) The issue of worship requirements for those girls still in school was more ambiguous and in practice more of a guideline that a rule. Students were "compelled to attend public worship on the Sabbath, when practicable, at such places as the parents or guardian shall think proper," indicating that when the children went home on Sunday that responsibility fell to the caregiver, be that person a parent or a guardian.(9)
This 1803 account of the FHACS's activities is the only one that included specific information on the children, undoubtedly part of a fundraising strategy by which the leaders, both male and female, could demonstrate their good and worthy work and their careful stewardship of the children and resources in their care. Their demonstrated success prompted the appeal for a "proper school house." Since their founding they had worked in a house in Tripolette Alley where Mrs. Margaret Harrod, the only paid employee of the school, cared for and educated the children.
Four years passed before the women of the FHACS published another account of their activities and this 1807 document is the first in which Anne Owen Tiernan is listed. When she became involved with the school is unknown, but from this point forward she served as a manager and later as president, in 1819 and in 1824. As of this writing, Tiernan is the only known Catholic president of the charity school. As stated earlier, Anne Owen had married Luke Tiernan in 1793 and the couple moved their family from Hagerstown in Western Maryland to Baltimore by 1795. Luke, son of an Irish immigrant and already wealthy, quickly established himself as an influential and respected citizen in the port city. He was among the first to negotiate trading agreements with Liverpool merchants, one of the original seven men elected to the Cathedral vestry, a generous donor to the building fund, contributing $1,300 in a campaign where the average donation was $500, and a Cathedral pew holder. Although the Tiernans had moved to Baltimore several years prior to the founding of the Female Humane Association, their names are not on the 1803 donor list.(10)
Other known Catholics listed in the 1807 report included Harriett Ghequierre and Mrs. S. M. Williamson who had worked with the group since its founding. The FHACS that Tiernan joined operated in the new building for which the women had solicited funds in 1803. Several four-digit bequests and yearly collections in city churches had filled their coffers beyond expectation. This more spacious school, located on Calvert Street south of the court house accommodated twenty-seven children, four of whom were boarders.(11)
This development in the care of the children also indicates the beginning of the facility's transition to an orphanage. And it was this adjustment to their mission that prompted the appeal for additional funds to support more boarders, many who went home at night to "needy, dissolute mothers." In addition to boarding these girls, the school also accepted girls placed by the Orphan's Court—another reason to increase the number of live-in students. Later the same year, by an act of the legislature, the trustees and managers changed the institution's name to the Orphaline Charity School of Baltimore.(12)
Twelve years passed before they published their third formal report and the intervening times had been turbulent for Baltimore and the new nation. The War of 1812, escalating growth and rising rates of immigration tapped the resources of municipal infrastructures and private coffers. The 1819 account, written during a panic year and one in which a Yellow Fever epidemic struck Baltimore, reflected the economic downturn. The women reported that with additional support, they could place "double" the number of girls in comfortable homes. "Most persons who wish for female assistants in their families prefer receiving them from an institution where they have been properly instructed for four or five years." The number of boarding students had risen, among them one who "is the daughter of a man who fell in defense of the city." Including this reference was obviously designed to appeal to donors' patriotic impulses. Unchanged, however, is the directive that those bound out should go to "persons of the same religious persuasion."(13)
The number of Catholic managers remained high, however, in 1819, with three identified members once again among the nine who cared for the school and its children. In that group, Anne Tiernan served as president. It is unclear when she gained the position or if she held it continuously, but a Catholic president of a predominantly Protestant women's group is significant. Also managing the school were her sister-in-law Agnes Owen, wife of her brother Kennedy, and Elizabeth Mary Lucas, wife of prominent Catholic book seller and publisher Fielding Lucas Jr., also a Cathedral pew holder. Harriett Ghequierre's name is not on the list, nor did she make a donation to the school. Her withdrawal from the charity school may have been connected to changes in the leadership of the archdiocese of Baltimore.(14)
Carroll died in 1815 and the archbishop's position went to James Neale. Neale, also a Marylander and descendant of a colonial family, brought changes to the position, but his death less than two years later brought a different-type of man to the job. French-born Ambrose Maréchal became the first non-Maryland archbishop of Baltimore. There is nothing in the records of the St. Mary's Seminary archives specifically related to the FHASC, but it is interesting to note that in February 1818, less than one year after he accepted the position, Maréchal and Reverend Enoch Fenwick (also of the Cathedral parish) met with the ladies of the congregation, including Anne Tiernan, and organized the St. Mary's Orphaline Female School.(15)
That same year, they created "a school for the maintenance and education of poor orphaned and other destitute female children and for instructing them in the Christian religion." The school, Maréchal said, was for poor Catholic female children but any children of other denominations "willing to submit to the rules would be received." The archbishop's directive for instruction in the "Christian" religion strongly suggests that he believed there should be a Catholic school for girls that included instruction in the ancient faith. The role of religious instruction within the walls of the FHACS is not enumerated in any of the reports. The managers created a Christian environment and situated their responsibilities within a framework of civic republicanism from which they would train their girls as independent and useful citizens of the new nation and where they (unlike their parent/s) would not be "a charge on society."(16)
The organizational structure of the St Mary's Orphaline Female School (St. Mary's) mirrored that of the charity school, nine male trustees and nine lady managers, but they implemented a different curriculum than the charity school, one that emphasized morality, religious instruction, and needlework skills. The children received "common education, including sewing, marking, knitting, prayers, catechism, and would be impressed with a very great regard for the truth, modesty in behavior and dress, and a profound respect for religion." The woman leading the St. Mary's school and overseeing its work was none other than Anne Owen Tiernan, who served as president during the same years she held the office for the charity school.(17)
As a wealthy member of the Cathedral congregation, wife of a vestryman, and one for whom Carroll had performed her children's marriage ceremonies, Tiernan most certainly had audience with and influence on Maréchal and the mission and structure of the Catholic school. The fact that she continued to serve the charity school indicates her commitment to its mission and reflects, in this one woman's work, the epitome of the Carroll legacy.
By the mid-1820s, the trustees and managers of the overcrowded charity school had built a larger facility, this one on Mulberry near Cathedral Street. Their staff had expanded to include the matron and a teacher and two of the twenty-three children in residence, "bound to us for household purposes." On matters of religious policy, they continued to select girls "of every sect."(18) Another nine years passed before the mangers of the charity school published another appeal for funds, this one for an addition to the building. The institution no longer bore the name of the Orphaline School but now operated as the Baltimore Female Orphan Asylum, its primary mission housing and educating girls without homes. Anne Tiernan still served as a manager but was no longer president and Elizabeth Mary Lucas remained as well. A small note in the history of the St. Mary's Female Asylum states that in January 1837 all of the Catholic children at the "General Asylum on Mulberry Street" were removed to Catholic Orphanage.(19) Anne Owen Tiernan died in 1841, in her sixty-sixth year and it is unclear as to whether she stayed with the Baltimore Orphan Asylum after the Catholic children were transferred to St. Mary's.
These changes in the religious compositions of children at the Baltimore female orphanages and in other cities such as Boston reflected the larger issues of the 1830s. Nativist tensions simmered and burst into violence as increasing numbers of immigrants entered the country. Many settled in the port cities along the east coast in search of work on the railroads, canals, and transportation routes and their presence brought an increasing distrust of Catholics whose first allegiance appeared to be to Rome. These "new" Catholics bore no resemblance to those of the older generation and that remarkable Carroll "moment" in Baltimore's history, when Catholic and Protestant women worked together for the benefit of the city's impoverished girls had passed.

Facebook or Twitter are making you move away from the real world, neglecting the goal of life, where people compete to get more "likes"… There are some disadvantages of using social networks:
- Reduce interaction between people
You pay too much attention to electronic devices and spend less time and attention to those present in your real life. This makes your life very frustrating. Finally, the people around won't even want to hang out with you anymore.
- Increase the feeling of reaching attention
Posting vague, confusing states on Facebook to attract the attention of others is becoming an annoying habit of social network users. The competitive battle likes and announces that there will be no end.
- Ignore the real goals of life
It's easy to summarize what's happening on social networks, people will gradually neglect the real goals of life. Instead of trying to realize the dream by becoming a really talented person, young people tend to become stars on the Internet.
- There is a risk of depression
Due to a certain study, using social networks often can cause negative emotions, including fatigue and depression. Using social networks is particularly harmful to people with pre-existing depression. If you start feeling sad and pessimistic, you should stay away from social networks for a while.
- Using social networks affects the creative process
Surfing social networking sites will paralyze people's minds, similar to watching unconscious television. If you're planning to work today, turn off social networking applications.
- Easily broken love story
You should not be glued to the screen, continue to be jealous and pry. Social networking is an easy choice to publicize the relationship, but it is in fact ineffective. In fact, research shows that people who often use Facebook to track their other half lead to speculation, imagination, and ultimately broken romance.

X marks the spot for Mazda SkyActiv engines
Search Driven for Mazda for sale
New SkyActiv petrol engine as efficient as diesel
Mazda has revealed the world's first commercially produced compression-ignition engine called SkyActiv-X, with it going into production in 2019.
Shown to the global media at Bad Homburg, Germany last week, SkyActiv-X will join the company's G and D engine petrol and diesel engines.
The engine had the prefix 'X' to stand for 'crossover', Mazda Motor Corp's head of R&D, Kiyoshi Fujiwara, told Driven at the global reveal.
The company told the media that the SkyActiv-X would have the fuel efficiency of a diesel engine combined with low carbon dioxide emissions.
The SkyActiv-X engine has a efficient compression ignition that sees the fuel-air mixture ignite spontaneously when compressed by a piston.
Called Spark Controlled Compression Ignition Mazda says the system "maximises the zone in which compression ignition is possible, and yields"a seamless transition between compression ignition and [traditional] spark ignition".
Mazda claims the SkyActiv-X's lean-burning will improve engine efficiency by up to 30 per cent over the current SkyActiv-G petrol engine and will set fueld economy figures similar to its SkyActiv-D diesel engines.
Mazda also says that the new compression ignition sytem working the an engine supercharger will increase torque by between 10–30 per cent over the SkyActiv-G petrol engine.
Although Mazda wouldn't say which vehicle will be the first to get the SkyActiv-X, the engine was paried with a camoflagued Mazda3 at the Germany launch.
That vehicle also had new sound-proofing plus a new chassis and driver seats that are said to help with fatigue.
Mazda will also reveal its new Kodo design philosophy at this year's Toyko Motor show, so expect to see the Mazda3 specced up with a new face and engine in 2019.
* See Saturday Driven for a full report on the Mazda SkyActiv-X engine plus an interview with the R&D boss.
