Editor's note: Population control is literally and figuratively dehumanizing. In India, thousands of women are being herded into mass sterilization camps, where surgeons mutilate their reproductive organs in assembly line-fashion under unsanitary conditions, sometimes using bicycle pumps as medical instruments, and where mortality rates reach as high as 500 per 100,000 sterilizations. This article, the first of two parts, focuses on one such sterilization camp in Kerala, India.
Women started arriving at the camp by 9 a.m…, many carrying infants and all accompanied by their husbands or other women relatives. In some cases, the junior public health nurses (JPHNs), who were responsible for 'motivating' these clients to accept sterilization, also accompanied them.1
As only two vehicles were available to the camp organizers, most of the women and their companions had to get to the site on their own. Of the 49 women scheduled for surgery that day, 48 actually were sterilized. Most of the women were in their early 20s; a few were in their 30s. On the average they had two children, although one or two of them had as many as four.2
The sterilization camp was conducted in October 1994 at a rural hospital in the Palakkad district of Kerala, India. The operations took place in a building within the hospital compound but, since the facility lacked the equipment and experienced staff to perform laparoscopic sterilizations, a team from another part of the district was brought in to perform the operations.
The premises consisted of a rectangular hall (22 feet x 10 feet) with an attached bathroom. It was here that the women gathered for pre-surgical examinations. It also doubled as the post-operative ward. The hall contained nine cots, each equipped with a mattress, bedspread and pillow. A bed at the far end of the room was used as an examination table by the doctor who performed the pre-operative examinations. There were two ceiling fans, one at each end of the room, to cool the hall.
The operating theatre was located in a room at the other end of the same building, linked by a 30-foot-long corridor to the pro- and post- operative area. The furniture in this room consisted of three wooden benches, four small tables, one washing basin, one ceiling fan, three old pillows and one steel container for syringes. There was a fluorescent lamp and several windows, some of which had broken catches. The operating space and the furniture had been washed with disinfectant early that morning.
Client 'registration'
When it was time to register, the women queued up in front of a female doctor who sat on a chair next to a bed at one end of the hall. The doctor took the woman's blood pressure "if she thought it was necessary, " checked the pulse and asked about any previous health problems.
Written consent was obtained at this time and the women were seen affixing their signatures to some printed forms. However, very little about the sterilization procedure was explained to them, nor were any alternative options offered.
A few of the women were given pelvic examinations. When the doctor was asked why that examination was limited to those women, the reply was that a pelvic examination was only warranted in "suspicious" cases — i.e. when she felt that the client exhibited signs of reproductive tract problems. For a pelvic examination, the women were led to a roped-off area in the hall; there was absolutely no privacy.
At one point, there were 87 people in the room, including JPHNs, junior health inspectors (JHIs), health supervisors (HSs), lady health supervisors (LHSs), nurses and doctors — all jostling for space with the women, their female relatives and their infant children. The men folk were not allowed into this room; they lounged about outside the premises.
As part of the registration procedure, urine tests for sugar and albumen were performed. They were conducted in a small room, which had a toilet, and opened onto the corridor that connected the pre-operative hall to the operating room. The women, with a small bottle in hand, lined up at the door to the toilet, where they collected their urine samples. Each woman brought her specimen to one of the JPHNs and was directed to pour it into a test tube, which was held out to her. The woman was then told to rinse out the collection bottle in the wash basin and hand it to the next woman to use.
The registration process was completed by 11 a.m. Since there was very little seating available, most of the women and their attendants had to stand while waiting for the arrival of the surgeon. Some of the mothers breast-fed their babies while squatting on the ground outside the building. As the delay lengthened, many of the women and their family members became restless and the JPHNs and JHIs had to pacify their clients and request that they remain until the surgeon arrived.
The 48 women, clutching their registration papers, again queued up, this time at the entrance to the operating room. The staff and other attendants ate lunch but the women undergoing surgery could not. The surgeon finally arrived with his team at about l p.m. and set up his equipment; the staff got any straggling clients to join the line and operations were started at 1:15 p.m.
The surgical disassembly line
In the makeshift operating theatre, the three rectangular benches had been raised at an angle, using the square tables to balance them. The women were instructed to lie on these with their heads at the lower end. Each of the three benches had a pillow placed in the middle and a bed sheet draped over it. Another table served as an instrument trolley.
Movement into the operating space was restricted once the surgeries began. Those involved in performing the operations did not come out at all, but passed on instructions about any requirements to an assistant waiting just outside the door to the room, which was kept shut.
Each of the women in her turn had to climb up on one of the three benches and lie down, assisted by one or two female staff members. First her abdomen was prepared for surgery by swabbing and injection of a local anesthetic. Then the abdomen was inilated with gas. Two tubes were inserted into incisions in the abdomen: one was for inserting the light source and the other was for inserting the instrument for tying the Fallopian tubes.
The third stage was the sterilization itself. When the first woman was at the second stage of the procedure, the first stage was started with a second woman. When the first woman reached the third stage, the first stage was started with the third woman. When the first woman lifted herself off the angled bench and walked out of the room on hr own, another took her place and so the cycle commenced again.
On average, it took just four to five minutes for the completion of this three-stage procedure. Since three women were going through the different stages simultaneously, the total time taken for all 48 women was just 128 minutes — i.e., two hours and eight minutes. The surgeon thus spent an average of only two minutes and 40 seconds per sterilization.
The linen on the three makeshift operating beds was never changed during the course of the day's surgeries. Moreover, the surgeon never once changed his gloves during the course of the 48 surgical procedures he performed. Unfortunately, this disregard for aseptic conditions is quite common in the Indian sterilization camps and has been reported often through the years.
Since the observers who reported on this particular sterilization camp were unable to see at close range what was happening within the operating room, there was no way of telling whether instruments and syringes had been properly sterilized. With the syringes and other instruments being boiled on a stove throughout the surgeries, at least an attempt at sterilization was made. It was obvious, however, that the guidelines for disinfection of a laparoscope could not possibly have been met.
According to Indian health regulations, laparoscopes must be washed after each operation, dried and immersed in a disinfectant solution (usually Cidex) for at least 30 minutes, and then washed with sterile water before being used on the next patient.3 A thoroughly inadequate "40—60 second soak" in some solution was apparently all that was done to sterilize the laparoscope(s).
Furthermore, according to the guidelines, the maximum number of laparoscopic sterilizations that can be carried out by a single team using two laparoscopes in a period of two hours is six, or a maximum of 24 sterilizations in an eight hour working day.4
Post-operative carelessness
All of the women who were sterilized had to walk by themselves back to the hall, which now served as the post-operative ward. They lay on the nine available cots, usually two per cot. The rest were accommodated on bed sheets spread out on the unswept floor, five women per sheet.
As each woman lay down on a cot or a sheet, a nurse sprayed the area around the abdominal incisions with an antiseptic and dressed the small wounds. The women were provided with an antibiotic and a pain killer and were instructed to contact the local JPHN in case of any problems. No doctor examined or counseled the women after surgery.
As the number of women who had been operated on increased, the available space in the hall begin to shrink. The last of the women had to lie on a bed sheet at the entrance to the bathroom, which was being used extensively by the women and their attendants. Extensive seepage from this overused bathroom barely missed the feet of the women lying on the bed sheet near it. The odor emanating from the bathroom was "quite overpowering."
Safe drinking water was not available at all, although there was a plentiful supply from a tap in the toilet room next to the operating theatre. The women and their attendants were expected to make their own water arrangements. Even this most basic need of the women was clearly not a priority.
While the operations were proceeding, the District Medical Officer (DMO) came to inspect the hospital. He condemned certain items of equipment which were being used. The JPHNs and JHIs at the camp took the opportunity to inform the DMO about the problem of non-payment of incentive money to their clients during the previous months. (An incentive payment of 145 Rs is paid to sterilization acceptors.) The JPHNs and JHIs knew that the people they served were upset that the incentive payments had not been immediately disbursed, and they were worried that as word spread in the community they would find it difficult to "motivate" future clients.
The surgeon and his team left the camp by 3:45 p.m., shortly after completion of the operations. Most of the JPHNs and JHIs also left the camp immediately, leaving the women and their attendants to fend for themselves. By 4:30 p.m., many of the women began leaving the premises, although they could barely walk; none of them were permitted to stay in the building beyond 5 p.m.
Provider's problems
For the hospital nursing staff who had been assigned to supervise the camp, the job meant extra work. They had to borrow the furniture required for the makeshift operating tables and had to procure the stoves and utensils required from other hospital wards. Since none of the hospital workers was willing to transport the furniture, laborers from outside had to be hired.
In one case an argument broke out between a JHI and JPHN over to whom a particular client belonged. Although initially recruited by the JHI, the woman had moved and came to the camp under the care of the JPHN who covered her new place of residence. As every worker had to meet a fixed target of clients for sterilization, the need to fulfill these quotas resulted in frequent wrangling between the health workers.
One candid report from four Indian surgeons who performed female sterilizations detailed the travel, lodging, and operating problems they faced in servicing distant rural camps.5 Often only a "small vehicle like [a] jeep was made available [in which] six to seven persons had to be accommodated …in addition to linen, instruments…and operating tables."
Not only was the vehicle small, but it was usually "unfit to run over long distances and invariably would tail on the way," resulting in a wait for hours until another vehicle was available for rescue and repairs. And then, after a long and tedious journey, the doctors often found that "arrangements for comfortable lodging and boarding were not made" and they had to "pass uncomfortable nights or…run to local doctors' residences for night rest." Boarding arrangements were often "meager instead of full meals."
Dark and dirty business
As for the operating theatre, sometimes the "flooring was dusty and unclean [and] the lighting…was very poor .…" At many places the artificial light which was available was "insufficient and uncertain because of drop[s] in voltage or power out[ages]." Nonetheless, at some of the camps the surgeons operated "round the clock through day and night with very scanty light — only one torch for two tables or so."
Usually there was a shortage of linen required for the numbers of women to be operated on, and the sterilization of instruments and linen was inadequate. Often the local nursing staff who assisted the operations seemed to be "assisting for the first time," which in fact was the case, as subsequent inquiry discovered. Moreover, the pre-operative preparation of the patients was so unsatisfactory that some of the women had apparently eaten recently and/or had not properly evacuated themselves, resulting in some even vomiting on the operating table, causing a postponement in their sterilization.
Although the team of observers found the Kerala camp conditions "appalling," they were '"not as bad as elsewhere in the country."
In many instances the sterilization camps were conducted in makeshift locations without even a thought to aseptic conditions. School classrooms have been used without any effort to disinfect them, and "rusted, broken down tables draped with soiled rubber sheets have been used as operating tables." Surgeries have been performed with "just one bucket of water for the surgeons to 'disinfect' their hands before operating." The same syringe has been used on all the clients.

NAIROBI Cheap Men's Black Nike SF-AF1 Air Force 1 High Boots , June 9 (Xinhua) -- Uganda's Stephen Kiprotich will put his title on the line at the World Championships in Beijing in August and his training mate Wilson Kipsang of Kenya is ready to stake claim to it.
Kipsang, 33, wants to improve from his bronze medal at the London Olympics to gold in Beijing and is ready to do everything to see that he wins in August.
"I am very proud to be a part of the preliminary selection for the upcoming World Championships," Kipsang said on Tuesday from Eldoret.
"I have never represented my country at a World Championships before Cheap Nike Air Force 1 07 Mid Triple White , so I am very excited. The preliminary selection consists out of six athletes and only three of us will go to Beijing," he added.
Kipsang will be one of the star names that Kenya will bank on for the medal in Beijing. He recently won silver in London Marathon and is the reigning New York Marathon champion.
Now he needs to add the world marathon championship title to his collection in August before he leaves the stage to younger athletes.
"If I make the final selection, I will try to reclaim the men's world marathon title for Kenya in Beijing from Uganda's Stephen Kiprotich," he said. "The Kenyan men and women selection is very strong this year with some of the fastest runners on the marathon distance Cheap Men's Nike Air Force 1 07 QS All Star Black , including my running mate and world marathon record holder Dennis Kimetto (2:02.57)."
The marathon for men will be on Aug. 22 and for women on Aug. 30. Alongside Kipsang and Kimetto, the Kenya team has Mark Korir, Felix Kiprotich, Lucas Rotich and Luka Kanda. All have run under two hours and six minutes.
Kipsang is the only man in history to win at London Cheap Air Force 1 Mid 07 White Sale , Berlin and New York marathons. He is a two-time winner of the London Marathon setting a course record of 2:04:29 in 2014.
One of the strong favorites at the London Olympics, Kipsang opened up a 20-second lead in the first half before finishing third. His 14:11 split between 10km and 15 km was the fastest ever in Olympic competition.

What we love
From the charming exterior of red awnings and geraniums to the indulgent interiors and Eiffel Tower views, we love Athenee for a true taste of Paris glamour.
Plaza Athenee, Paris
208 Rooms & Suites
Setting the scene
Nestled amongst the designer boutiques of leafy Avenue Montaigne, five minutes' walk from the Champs Elysee, newly renovated Plaza Athenee offers five star luxury in the heart of the city. The hotel has been at the forefront of the Paris hotel scene since its opening in 1911; and behind its signature facade of red awnings and geraniums it has changed little. Interiors are classically French - imposing and lavish, with luxuriant fabrics and plenty of colour; while views span the chestnut trees and the rooftops out to Montmartre hill and the Eiffel Tower.
Stepping into the Rooms and Suites at Athenee is like stepping back in time, and you can take your pick from French Regency or Art Deco style. Either way, you'll enjoy the finest quality fabrics money can buy - gold thread work, velvets and taffeta - as well as original paintings and antique furniture. All suites offer seating areas, with larger Suites having separate lounges and bedrooms. As the name suggests, Eiffel Suites have romantic views over the tower (including from the shower in the Signature Eiffels) and the Royal Suite is the hotel's piece de resistance, with four bedrooms, one-off antiques and spacious bathrooms in head-to-toe Veronese marble.
Celebrated chef Alain Ducasse oversees the food at both Plaza Athenee and The Dorchester Collection's other Parisian hotel, Le Meurice. Athenee provides lots of options, including a fine dining restaurant featuring Alain's own creations; Le Relais Plaza - for brasserie food including traditional grills; La Cour Jardin - open spring to autumn and serving seasonal dishes; La Terrasse Montaigne for lighter snacks in good weather; and La Galerie for divine pastries from Cristophe Michalak.
It's all about getting out and about to enjoy the city. If shopping is your thing you're in the right place - you'll find Dior, Chanel, Vuitton, Prada, Valentino and Hermes on the doorstep. You're walking distance from the romantic River Seine and many sights, including the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay and the Eiffel Tower. The concierge at Athenee will be delighted to assist with guides, theatre or concert bookings and restaurant reservations; and when all that gets too much, we recommend heading to the Dior Institut for relaxing treatments or a personal training session with Marc Carpentier.
The majority of rooms can be interconnected, making things easier for families, and the hotel concierges have plenty of ideas up their sleeves when it comes to family outings. The hotel's housekeepers can also arrange babysitting through a specialist nanny agency if you'd like to go out for the evening.
The hotel is easily reached by taxi - within an hour - from both Charles de Gaulle and Orly Airports, and in less than half an hour from the largest train stations.

* Justin Braun won a 400m title from the outside lane at the AAU Junior Olympics in 2019
- - -
While a season of possible PRs went out the window for Justin Braun with the closure of the outdoor track and field season this spring, the Thomas Worthingtown (OH) High School sophomore has kept things in perspective.
"You can't dwell on this stuff," he said recently. "It's track. You have to keep training."
Better yet, in a recent interview with Ohio MileSplit's Mark Dwyer, Braun, the nation's fastest 400 meter runner over the indoor season gave insight into what his plans are for next year.
"I will say now," Braun said. "I will be competing competitively in the 100m next year. The 200 will be a big focus of mine. If I focus on those two, it will help my 400m even more."
While for much of his first two indoor and outdoor seasons, Braun was a 400m specialist with improving speed in the 200m, he said his plans for 2021 will be to add consistent 100 meter -- and potentially long jump -- training into his arsenal.
Braun finished the indoor season with the nation's No. 1 mark in the 400m with a time of 46.77 and the country's sixth-best effort in the 200m in 21.38. His 60m effort of 6.85 seconds was also fifth-best in Ohio and No. 36 overall.
The previous season, as a freshman, he hit 21.72 seconds on the clock for the 200m and 46.76 in the 400m, efforts that were No. 9 and No. 1 in the overall freshman class, respectively. He won 400m titles at the OHSAA Division I State Track and Field Championships, the AAU Club National Championships and the 15-16 age group dvision at the AAU Junior Olympics.
But he only secured a sub-11 effort in the 100m once, with a wind-aided time of 10.90 seconds at the Ohio Capital Conference Championships.
Much of his work over the coming months will focus on improving specific phases within his races.
"I''m putting focus a lot of focus into hill work now in building acceleration and overall strength," he said. "That's my weak point in my 200m. And just the finish. Everything changes in the last 50 meters. It doesn't matter how hard you go out, it's all in the finish."
Braun still needs to improve signficantly to go after Ohio's all-time state records of 10.38 in the 100m (Brandon Saine, Piqua, 2006), 20.47 in the 200m (Chris Nelloms, Dayton Dunbar, 1990) and 45.59 in the 400m (Chris Nelloms, Dayton Dunbar, 1990).
Only 13 boys in Ohio history have won the "triple crown" in the sprint events, winning all three events.
But the young Ohio talent says that's the plan.
"My main goal before this (all went down) was to get my four-peat," Braun said of his state championship dreams. "This corona stuff, I don't think that's possible. But (now), I want all the sprint records for the Ohio state meet."

Programme overview
Digital technologies are increasingly seen as vital to the understanding, prevention, diagnosis and management of illnesses such as diabetes, depression and dementia. Technologies such as smartphone apps, wearable monitors (e.g. blood pressure, blood glucose) and smart home systems can gather data on a person's health condition within their community. This data has huge potential to support decision-making by health and care professionals, help a patient manage their own illness, support independent living and deliver behavioural or pharmaceutical treatments.
This CDT will nurture future leaders who will combine technological expertise with understanding of the health landscape; and empathy with the patient's needs with an eye to new business opportunities.
Working together as a diverse and multidisciplinary group in purpose-built new laboratories adjacent to Bristol Cathedral, students will work closely with the local NHS, experts in social care, charities and with the CDT's industry partners that range from start-ups to multi-billion dollar corporations that are household names in computing and healthcare.
The first year will provide you with a unique foundation in the rapidly-moving field of digital health. Students from engineering/computer sciences backgrounds will be introduced to relevant aspects of health; while students from a health-related background will be introduced to coding, data analysis and e-health. You will come together to work on real-world digital health problems, leveraging varied expertise from across the cohort.
The three-year PhD research project will then put what you have learnt from your first year into practice, building new expertise and creating new knowledge in digital health and care.

The digital health industry is one of the fastest growing, both internationally and in the UK, with current estimates indicating that the sector is increasing at a rate of 15 per cent each year. Driven by the health needs of ageing populations in countries such as the UK, France, Germany, China, Singapore, Japan and the US, this growth is expected to continue for decades to come.
Exciting career opportunities to develop new digitally-enabled, personalised health solutions therefore exist within academia, the charitable sector and health providers in many different countries (e.g. the UK's NHS), as well as myriad companies that have active health research and development programs (such as Apple, Google, Amazon, Sony, Microsoft, Samsung, Huawei, Arm and many others).

The Key Elements of Great Businesses
Choosing Hotel Apartments in Dubai When you are looking for hotel apartments in Dubai, you are given two options and these are either one or two bedrooms. Coral Boutique Apartments is one of the good examples since they have a comfortable yet extravagant apartment which is a seven story building. The building is located in Shaikh Zayed which is near the heart of Dubai's commercial center. Their bedroom has an approximate dimension of 74 square meters or 803 square feet as this is to make sure that occupant will have enough space for bedroom, complete kitchen, guest bathroom and a washing machine. To make sure that everything is complete, each bedroom has its own place for your wardrobes and a multi-satellite TV. For a two bedroom apartment, it has an estimated size of 130 square meters and this is equipped with living room, bedroom, bathroom, guest bathroom, kitchen and washing machine. Apart from that, the room also has built in wardrobes and a satellite TV. This is to ensure that their guest are comfortable and relaxed.
What I Can Teach You About Businesses
It is also important for a hotel apartment to have a 24 hour dining room to ensure that their guests are able to take their dinner at their desired time. It is also important the hotel apartment is accessible to the business center as well as meeting facilities. The reason behind this is that, most people who go there are usually for business or have meetings with their business partners. Another important aspect that a hotel apartment should have is a high speed internet.
Where To Start with Accommodation and More
To ensure privacy to every guest, the apartment hotel should have access to car park directly on to the room. This car park is highly necessary to ensure that the guest will have access to their rooms to avoid sudden attacks as well. The apartment's main priority is the safety of their guests and that no matter how tight the security they provide, some people would still pretend to be a guest in the hotel but their real intentions is to attack and hurt people. It is also important that you should know that the hotel has personal safety measures are available 24 hours a day. It is also best that the hotel have health clubs and swimming pools. Some of the health clubs have gyms for those guest who wants to acquire body fitness to energize and refresh after their long day. It is also very important that the apartment hotel have their own spa facilities for guest who wants to relax although it comes with an additional charge. If you want to have your own private chef, you can simply as the apartment hotel if they have one although this also comes at an extra costs.

Why Nigerian Youths Need to Make the Transition from Graduate to Apprentice
By David Adeoye
In those days when many African nations first gained independence (and for the next two decades or so), jobs were plentiful. You hear tales of a graduate getting two or more job offers with a car and sometimes, a residential quarters to match. All on the bill of the employer.
After sometime, it was no longer sufficient to just have a first degree. Only a Master's degree and or professional qualification would assure such a lofty start. However as the years passed and as both the society and the economy evolved, opportunities for ready jobs with "cool pay" started to dwindle. Attractive jobs in established organizations became competitive.
The economic resurgence of the late 1990s to the early 2000s came with a significant increase in the supply of graduate jobs. New businesses (banks, telcos, IT firms, investment firms, etc) rolled out across the economy on a rather massive scale. Once again, graduates became very much in-demand.
This time, the setting was slightly different: most of the employers were private businesses deploying their own capital, that of other shareholders, and of course borrowed funds from banks, and the bond market. Therefore, recruitment was largely on merit and retention was largely based on performance. Degrees and certificates, though required, had become less important.
In more recent years, the Nigerian economy has seen a marked reduction in the influx of big business. In reality, the economic conditions and our brand of political economy has constrained otherwise big businesses to shrink (in the name of right-sizing, restructuring, refocusing, and those other terms that start with the letter R but never mention retrenchment). Technology has also not helped the fate of the average graduate as a traditional worker, even while it presents immense opportunities for personal growth.
With the rise of technology, and challenging economic conditions, many new businesses now start small, and most older ones aim to be more efficient, more profitable, but not necessarily bigger (at least by headcount). At the same time, the capacity of establishment-type employers to expand their workforce is severely constrained. Budgetary allocations, grants, etc impose a limit.
What do all of this mean for today's graduate? First, the era of establishment-type jobs with the perks that follow is largely gone. Secondly, today's employers are far more performance and results-oriented than those of past decades where there was more emphasis on activity and presence. Thirdly, the demand on a graduate's capacity to contribute at both individual and team level becomes the most important factor in to secure and retain gainful employment.
Now, if capacity to perform has become such a critical element, it is important to ask and get some valid answers to the question: what is the fundamental requirement to perform in a world of service and knowledge work? The answer, to my mind is three-fold: readiness to learn, willingness to work hard, and a disposition to work with others.
In other words, today's graduate must be willing to accept a first degree for what it really is. Essentially, during the first degree, a person learns to reason and to relate. To build upon this foundation, the individual then has to submit himself or herself to a process of learning something meaningful, specific, and valuable to others. We call this apprenticeship. In the same way that fellows with less formal education have to choose a trade to which he is willing to apply himself or herself.
In the context of today's work environment, the graduate must see herself first as an apprentice and put the 'graduate thing' in the background. An apprentice is first of all, "here to learn". It's not about the pay. Rather he's paying his dues by being on time, attentive, responsive, and above all by being responsible to at least one person: the boss who is then responsible to one set of people: customers. The same way an apprentice aims to be successful at the trade, and not merely follow-the-money, today's young person with a first degree will have to submit herself to the rudiments and demands of the business.
There are three main ingredients required for an apprentice to be successful: intelligence (or aptitude), interest, and intensity (or how well you apply yourself, call it hard work. On intelligence, there are various types of aptitude, some fellows are gifted with words, some with patterns, some with data, some with music etc. For example, it takes certain traits to be a good tailor or fashion designer. At the same time, not every young person can be a mechanic. In the same vein, not everyone who studied accounting would do well as an auditor. Natural talents provide some guidance for a choice of career.
The second point is interest: what would this young man or woman rather do or contribute to humanity? What drives you? How would you rather work? The combination of intellect and interest manifest in one thing: learning, What are you willing to learn. Permit me to ask in Yoruba: "As a graduate, ise wo l'ofe ko?". Over the years, I've seen many examples that prove this is a far more practical approach than merely sitting, praying, and hoping. Prayer is good but we should direct it at something specific.
Still on knowledge, smartness does not equate to knowledge. You can be smart but empty about certain areas. We all have areas where we are empty. Where we know nothing because we never bothered to, or needed to learn. Many times, what is needed as per intelligence is just a threshold level of aptitude. Often, a more knowledgeable person with the threshold level of IQ would make far better decisions than an uninformed genius.
Lastly, for an apprentice to be successful, he or she must be willing, able, and ready to apply himself with persistence and perseverance. You need to believe the work is both valuable and worth doing. Pouring yourself into what you do, when you're tired, when others are giving up, is one key trait of world champions. Apply yourself to what you do and someday, you would find yourself at the top.
In a nutshell, it's not enough to be a graduate. We need to choose to learn something that is both meaningful and valuable and then begin to apply ourselves to what we learn. It may start in a small measure but it will surely lead somewhere great.

I am a big music fan and so buying cd's here is of great interest and fascination to me as so many international bands seem to add one or two bonus tracks on to their albums. Is there any reason why Japan gets singled out for such extras or 'lazy' Japan-only releases of b-sides or live versions? Or is it just the record companies trying to take advantage of what they maybe consider to be a gullable Japanese market who will buy anything and everything connected with that band? Maybe by releasing these 'limited edition' cd's in an economy like Japan then allows for a higher demand for importing these Japan-only releases into Europe or America.
I have to say that i've been taken in by it all and buy many of these cd's as they're not available in Europe. It has to be said that the extra tracks are usually pretty average at best.
I think the reason is that the import version of the album is available cheap here but the japanese version requires lyric translations, artist biography (as non-Japanese artists may not be well known here) and some more exclusive features. Japanese label also demands 2-4 weeks of time for promotion such as TV or magazine articles which inevitably pushes up the price. Of the 4 big music economies – USA, UK, Australia and Japan – only the latter gets these extras at a much higher rate than the other three put together. Sure, there are a few UK or USA only releases but Japan has absolutely loads in comparison which are just crying out for someone like myself to flog on e-bay!

The LHC 8 TeV Run 1 came out with a negative outcome for C1 N2 searches and exclusion limits of mC1,N2> 250 GeV for a massless LSP were set. Taking advantage of the increase in the center-of-mass energy and the luminosity compared with Run 1, we're searching for C1N2 → 1 lep + h0(bb) + MET within ATLAS at LHC 13 TeV Run 2. In line with the b-jets in the final state, my ATLAS authorship project is on the b-jet identification. We studied the impact of several simulated scenarios for pixel dead modules, inspired from 2016 data quality flags, on overall b-tagging performance. In fact the pixel modules play a crucial role in tracks reconstruction and vertexing, hence it highly affect the b-jets identification and it is necessary
to quantify the loss in performance for such scenarios. On the phenomenology side, we're developing a new version of the SuSy Spectrum calculator "Suspect3" using the inverted bottom-up procedure from physical masses to constraint SUSY parameters in the Higgs and stop sectors.

Autumn Rains, Copyright 2006, Ann Somerville
It's a totally poofy colour for a brolly, you said.
Fine, I said. But at least I'll be a dry poof.
This is true, you agreed.
Which is probably why you took my poofy brolly with you when you fucked off out of my life three years ago. You stole a lot of things then. I'd like to be all louche and cool and don't give a shit, pretend that I miss that umbrella a hell of a lot more than I miss you, but to hell with louche.
To tell the truth, I bought another umbrella the next week. It rained, I needed one. They didn't have another in that colour. I didn't look too hard for one. Or for you. No point. You always said when you were gone, you were gone for good. Did a thorough job of it – all the emails, all the files, all the letters. Never had a joint account with me – I knew why after you'd gone.
Didn't even leave me an explanation. No ties, you said. I'd laughed and agreed, because everyone has ties, even the lonest of lone wolves. But not you. The only thing of me you kept was that poofy brolly, and that was only because it rained the day you left.
Never seen another one that colour, though. I kept a look out for one. Figured if you were right, and it really was a poof's colour, then hey, if I found it, I'd find me a nice dry poof to go with it. Found plenty of them, but none of them had a brolly. Doesn't seem to be a queer thing anymore. Raincoats, that's what they all wear now. Fucking Burberrys. Hate the damn things. You can't kiss under a fucking Burberry in the rain, can you? Take a walk wearing one, and you want to sneak a quick grope, you get an armful of wet cloth. They make people look like Maxwell Smart. Not sexy at all.
Been through three umbrellas since you left. Blew away, blew inside out. Cheap crap, don't believe in spending more on the things anymore. Leave them in the hallway, anyone can take them if they want. Marks do them for fifteen quid. Be nice to your local car salesman, they give them away. Won't make the mistake again of spending a lot on something that's going to disappear. Never gave my password to another fuck either. It bothered me, those emails being wiped. Like you were trying to change our history, pretend we hadn't had anything together. Should have got that tattoo I was joking about. Then there'd be some trace of your existence.
But maybe that'd be a bad idea. It's better this way. Easier to forget about it, write it off as an expensive mistake, two years of my life I won't get back again, and move on. If I had a tattoo, I'd be picking at it, thinking. Hardly ever think about you at all these days. 'Cept when it rains in the park.
The park's the only habit I kept, but it was mine before you and it was all I had left when you did. Don't go to the pub we liked – they closed it anyway, turned it into apartments on the river. Changed jobs, so I don't go for lunch at that little place we used to eat in. But the flat overlooks the park and I paid for that view, so why the hell shouldn't I go walking there? People think it rains here all the time, but it doesn't. It's only when it rains that I mind it much. Walking past the café in the park, couples huddling in the slightly grotty tearoom, windows fogging up as they wait out the cold showers. I miss the cakes they make there. You can get takeaway, but it's not the same, sitting on a bench eating the damn thing. Half the fun was seeing how many cups of tea we could squeeze out of the pot, stealing the icing off your slice, making bitchy comments about the dog owners and child minders and the dutiful children of senile parents, taking them out for a change and a rest. Then out in the open again, away from everyone, down by the boating lake, watching the coots bully the moorhens, and counting all the gay mallards.
There are more homosexual drakes than ever, down there. Saw an old bastard on the High Street a couple of weeks ago, spouting on about homosexuality being unnatural. 'What about the ducks?' I asked him. He blinked at me. 'The ducks in the park are all poofters. They're natural.'
He pretended I wasn't there. Inconvenient facts getting in the way of his bigotry, I guess. You'd have had a proper argument with him. Quoted all the bits in the Bible, and backed it up with historical example. I can't remember things like that, when I need them. Best I can come up with is gay ducks.
Shit. It's raining. Where the fuck did that come from? I'm out in the open, just in a coat. I start to walk faster, heading for the café. The clouds are really tipping it down now, and it's bloody cold. I start to run, head down, trying not to slip on the leaves all over the path. Hard to see where I'm going, with it coming down this hard. Fuck it.
But it stops. Just like that. Two seconds later, the sun comes out, has a look, says 'bugger that', and goes behind a cloud again. I shake off the water, curse, wipe my eyes. I'm soaked. I may as well just go….
There. Walking towards me. Head down behind a sensible umbrella. Persian turquoise, the label had called it.
Poofy, you'd said.
I wait, dripping. Don't mind the wet, for a few seconds more. After all these years, I can wait a little longer to see what's under the brolly.
The End

In this preview to his appearance at THINK 14, serial entrepreneur, bestselling author and social media guru Gary Vaynerchuk explains that the credit union movement needs some serious momentum. "Even the best marketers aren't [always] marketing like it's 2014," he says, "but credit unions aren't even marketing like it's 2009."
Ouch. But Vaynerchuk thinks credit unions can gain traction by positioning themselves as a clear alternative to banks and by finally "marketing in the year we live in." The good news: "Literally, in 24 months this could be a progressive industry in marketing. It just takes action."

text: The beautiful thing about candy is that it comes in so many different flavors. If you like cherries, you can eat a cherry flavored candy. If you like grapes, pick a grape candy. If you want lemon... well, not very many people like lemon. But if you like bacon, eat a bacon candy! Yep, that's right. These little red and white striped candies taste just like sweet bacon. And without all the grease! They come in individually wrapped (12) little bite sizes. And since they also come in a fancy little tin, you can put them on your desk at work for others. Or put them on your Grandmother's coffee table as a decorative and delicious treat! Although, you may want to warn Granny first.

Above: the five Spencer brothers that played for Melrose, includingJack and George, the first brothers to represent New Zealand in both rugby codes in successive seasons.
Looking at some of the past identities from the long-forgotten former rugby clubs in Wellington.
"The Athletes Cigar"
The Rugby Football Club (1884)
In March 1884 the Leo and Ashley Football Clubs amalgamated to form the Rugby Football Club. Initially playing in light blue, in 1893 the Club changed its colours to maroon, black and gold.
David Christopher Ingram, the Club's delegate to the Wellington Rugby Union, was made a Life Member of the club in 1894 "in consideration of past services", including his role as Club Treasurer. The same year, Ingram published probably the first training book for athletes in New Zealand. The "Handbook on Athletes' Training" contained articles on "How to Train," "Starting," "Diet," and hints on running, jumping, hurdling, walking, swimming, rowing, football (Rugby and Association), cycling, and lawn tennis. There were also records of all branches of sport. "The book should prove of great interest to athletes" it was said. The rather delicious irony was that Ingram worked for "Austin Walsh & Co.", a company which manufactured cigars and cigarettes from tobacco grown on Fijian plantations. In the era, smoking was considered to have certain health benefits.
"Brothers And Rivals"
The Rival Football Club (1884)
Formed in 1884, the Rival Football Club was one of six clubs which competed in the Wellington Senior Championship in the late nineteenth century. In 1890, the Club decided to merge its Senior team with Selwyn Club, with the intention to keep competing in the junior grades.
Ernest James Barnett, a Clerk at Philips and Pyke (import-export agents), initially played for Wellington Club, where the Barnett family had long-standing connections, before joining the Rivals in 1888 with his brother John Dennis Barnett (known as Dennis). Ernest made an impact at full-back and was selected to represent Wellington against Hawke's Bay in September of that year. Wellington won the match, 4-3. At this time, his older brother Louis, was captaining the Australasian Medical Student team in Edinburgh, which played against the leading clubs of Scotland. His younger brother Alfred, also played for the Rival Club in the Junior Cup.
"The Spencer Quintet's Double Internationals"
The Melrose Rugby Football Club (1886)
Formed in 1886, the Melrose Rugby Football Club was one of Wellington's finest before its ignominious demise in 1937, amid rumours of financial impropriety. Following a merger with Selwyn in 1932 (when it became known as "Melwyn"), the club folded shortly after a name change to "United" in 1936.
With grounds in Owen Street in Newtown, the Club played in red and blue hooped jerseys and socks. Thomas Spencer (senior), a Vice President of the Club purchased Lot 172 of the Brooklyn Estate in 1888 and there, with his wife Emma, raised five sons, two of whom were Wellington representatives throughout the first decade of the 20th century. All five boys George, John Clarence (known as Jack), Thomas William George, Walter and William John (known as Bill) played for Melrose. Jack (a lock forward) and George (fullback) both represented Wellington with distinction and were indispensable members of Wellington's team, with both selected for the All Blacks in 1907. In 1908 both George and Jack switched to Rugby League and toured Australia with the New Zealand team in 1909, thereby becoming the first brothers to represent New Zealand in both rugby codes, in successive seasons.
"Roselle And Roseneath"
The Roseneath Football Club (1891)
Roselle's Gymnasium at the back of McDonald's Bakery on Manners Street was the place where "members [were] requested to roll up" for training. The Roseneath Football Club existed for a solitary year in 1891 when it was a member of the Wellington Junior Rugby Union, before merging with the Oriental Club in 1892. "Roselle's Gymnastic Rooms" was where William Henry James Morkane, a young migrant from Otago, from where he qualified to work as a Clerk in the Government Insurance Office, trained. Identified as "a young and promising member of the club", Morkane died in October 1891, at age 17, from typhoid and "brain fever".
"The Southerners At Southern"
The Southern Rugby Football Club (1900)
Following a meeting at St Thomas' school-room in Newtown in May 1899, it was decided to form a rugby football club to play under the style of the "southern football club", (which was based in Dunedin).
The Southern Rugby Football Club was subsequently admitted to the Wellington Rugby Union in 1900. In 1908, a former South Canterbury representative, Edward Joseph Houlihan from Timaru, came to Wellington to assist the Club compete in the Senior Championship. Known as "Ted", Houlihan was a storeman who lived at 23 Devon Street. He was a hooker and became Club Captain in 1910 and Captain of the Senior team in 1911. He was selected to represent Wellington in his first season with the Club.
His brother William Patrick, who joined the team in 1911, was wounded at Gallipoli, while Martin Thomas (the third brother who played for Oriental following his call-up to the Army), also served and represented the New Zealand Field Artillery team in 1918. Married to Florrie, Ted Houlihan died in Palmerston North in 1937.
"The Fruit Market Representative"
The Fruit Exchange Rugby Football Club (1909)
In 1906, a new Fruit Exchange was established in Allen and Blair Streets, off Courtenay Place.
In March 1909, the Fruit Exchange Football Club was affiliated to the Wellington Rugby Union "composed of employees at the fruit markets". Playing in red and yellow hoops, the Club initially played in the Third Grade, before briefly becoming a Senior Club in 1910. Known colloquially at "the Exchange Club", in 1913, there was a one-year merger with the Melrose Club, before the Exchange Club was resuscitated in the Third Grade in 1914. The Club boasted one Wellington provincial representative, Victor Leslie Allan who wore the Wellington jersey in 1914. Allan was a champion swimmer and member of the Island Bay Surf Life-Saving Club.
"The Handy Half-Back"
Miramar Rugby Football Club (1920)
While the first Miramar Football Club was formed for "the lower grades" in 1920, the Catholic Hall in Laing Street, Miramar, was the venue for the foundation of the Miramar Rugby Football Club in 1929, with "a special invitation extended to lady supporters". The re-formed Club competed in the Senior Second Division, with aspirations to play in the Senior First Division.
An Old-Boy of Wellington Technical College (now Wellington High School), a former Poneke Senior player and Wellington mercantile representative cricketer, James Henry Potier joined the Miramar Club in 1938, following an embarrasing brush with the law. In 1939, a Wellington representative team was selected from the Union's Senior Second Division sides to play Nelson. Potier it was noted, in an interesting journalistic play on words, was "very handy with his feet" and was selected at half-back. Before a crowd of approximately 6,000 spectators the touring Nelson side beat the Wellington representatives by 11 points to 8 at Athletic Park. Potier enlisted with the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force in 1940 and played for the Army Club during World War 2.
"Khandallah's All Black"
The Khandallah Rugby Football Club (1922)
In 1922, following its entry into the Sixth-Grade Competition, the fledgling Khandallah Rugby Football Club finished 28th out of 29 teams in the Wellington Rugby Union's Club Championship. (Onslow Club, which was also formed in the same year, finished last.)
While the following year, the older players joined the Kaiwarra Club, a Seventh-Grade team (comprising boys aged under 14 and a half) was formed, coached by local Khandallah rugby identity, Alfred ("Alf") John Griffiths, a North Island selector and former member of the Wellington and New Zealand Rugby Management Committees. It was presciently noted that in the Seventh-Grade team of 1923, "Alf Griffiths has good material, and he is bound to bring out some fine players from the ranks of one of the youngest teams playing football in Wellington." In that team was Griffiths' son, Jack Lester Griffiths who went on to make his All Black debut on 1 August 1934, aged 22. Jack played 30 matches (7 tests) and scored 50 points for New Zealand. For Wellington, he appeared in every back-line position, except Wing. As for the Khandallah Club, having created an All Black, it folded mid-way through the 1924 season.
"Duxie Of Seatoun"
The Seatoun Rugby Football Club (1929)
The Seatoun Rugby Football Club was formed in 1929 and subsequently re-named the "Seatoun and Rongotai College Old Boys Rugby Club in 1936", before simply becoming the "Rongotai College Old Boys Club in 1939". Based around the military base at Fort Dorset, which remained operational until 1957, one of the Club's teams solely comprised players solely from the base.
The President of the Club was Wilfred Wulstan Cook, Registrar-General of Births, Deaths and Marriages for New Zealand, whose property on Mantell Street adjoined the base. Part of Cook's property was requisitioned for use by the Government in World War 2. Cook was known affectionately by the label of '"Duxie," probably because of the habit he developed as a senior boy of Wellington College, always to be at the top, and perpetuated later by his urgent enthusiasm for the old school where he became Secretary of the Old Boys' Association. While the Club unsuccessfully applied for promotion to the Senior B Division, it was noted that "although the Club has not been fortunate enough to win the much-coveted championship in the past, the sociablity of the Rugby field has been enjoyed".
"France At Woburn"
The Woburn Rugby Football Club (1945)
Formed in 1945, with three teams in Junior, Third and Fourth Grades, the Woburn Rugby Football Club mainly comprised Old-Boys of Hutt Valley High School and was based at the High School gymnasium. The Club played in an all-black jersey with a white monogram and black shorts.
The only recorded Wellington representative of the Woburn Club is G U (Graham Udall) France, who represented the province in 1949. France was a prominent member of the Hutt Valley High School 1XV, before joining the Woburn Club. He also received prominence as a boxer and had a long association with the Petone Rowing Club as a former President and Treasurer. In 1953, the Club changed its name to High School Old Boys, before amalgamating with the Hutt Club in 1967.

Richard III shall have a burial fit for a king July 18, 2013Posted by J. Hawkes in News.
Tags: monarchy, Richard III, Royal funeral
"He was buried in an unmarked grave, but finally Richard III is to get a tomb fit for a king.
British officials say they will spend US$1.5 million interring the 15th-century ruler, whose skeleton was found earlier this year beneath a parking lot in the central England city of Leicester.
Officials at Leicester Cathedral said Thursday that Richard will be buried "with honour beneath a raised tomb within a specially created area in the cathedral." The plans also include a new floor and a stained glass window.
His remains are due to be reburied next year."
I am a little disappointed that he shall not be interred in York, which he had very close connections with, which is not true of Leicester. For those interested the Richard III Society has additional information regarding the tomb and the reign of Richard III.

It's in the job description
First came members of the state Senate Finance Committee scolding Robert Rowling, then-chairman of the University of Texas Investment Management Co., for approving a $1 million bonus for the CEO of the investment fund at a time when the economy was going south.
Then Sen. John Carona, R-Dallas, publicly dressed down Dallas County Judge Jim Foster during a Capitol hearing, accusing him of being an absentee elected official.
Other lawmakers have been voicing their displeasure with state agencies awarding bonuses to their top brass when normal taxpayers are getting laid off in droves.
Without exception, lawmakers defended their remarks, saying they are sent to Austin to represent their constituents — and that's exactly what they were doing.
An editor asks: Are lawmakers getting too big for their britches?
For an answer, we asked some folks who were attending Capitol hearings or taking tours.
Their answer: No.
"I'm glad somebody's jumping down their throats," said Jim Tyree, a San Antonio home-repair contractor. "The way government spends money makes me sick."
Charlotte Spaulding of Dallas: "They're doing exactly what they should be: Asking questions, demanding answers."

Legislators, legislate thyselves!
Dennis Burrell was testifying to the House Transportation Committee on Tuesday about House Bill 400, which would allow a 60-day grace period for people to renew parking stickers for people with disabilities.
As the law stands now, a permit holder who lets it expire could get a costly ticket the next day if they park in a spot set aside for people with disabilities. State Rep. Abel Herrero, D-Robstown, is carrying a bill that could let permit holders quickly renew a permit (within 20 days) and then be assessed only a $20 administrative fee.
Burrell and others argued that car owners get a grace period to renew their registration and to get the required yearly inspection. So, before going to the hearing, he did some research, walking around the circular drive around the Capitol — where only lawmakers are allowed to park — to look for overdue inspection and registration stickers.
Burrell said he made it only one-quarter of the way around the Capitol. That was all he needed, he said, to find three expired inspection stickers and a couple of past-due registration stickers.
"That shows that even the most law-abiding citizens can let this slip," Burrell said, leavening the gotcha with a little flattery. He apparently got the mixture right.
"I appreciate that," said Rep. Joseph Pickett, D-El Paso, the committee chairman, who then made a mock show of rising out of his seat to go take care of urgent business. "I'll be right back!"

Boogie men
When former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis attended an invitation-only dinner at an upscale Austin steakhouse Tuesday might, he was presented a copy of "Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story" — a documentary about the GOP political operative who helped sink Dukakis' 1988 campaign for the presidency.
The presenter: Boogie aka state Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston.
Atwater, you may remember, got his nickname as a Republican spinmeister and party chairman who made life miserable for the Democrats in the 1980s.
Whitmire, as you may not know, earned the nickname Boogie as a member of the Texas House in the 1980s, for the zip-up black boots he wore some days. "Boogie boots," his deskmate called them.
"It had nothing to do with my behavior," Whitmire said Tuesday. "I wish someone would straighten that out."
And, yes, Dukakis was enlightened about Whitmire's nickname before he left town.

August 2018
Dear Greener Guidance,
I have been hearing about plastic straw restrictions and bans being implemented across the country. What are the implications for local health departments?
– Thirsty for Information
Dear Thirsty for Information,
According to April Meneghetti, environmental health division manager for Yolo County in California,"plastic straw bans may or may not impact local environmental health departments depending on how the ban is written." While Yolo County Environmental Health is not the enforcing agency for the plastic straw ordinance in Davis (a city in Yolo County), Meneghetti mentioned there is a plastic straw bill currently before the California State Legislature that will have a different outcome.
"If passed, this bill will be enforced by local environmental health departments as the bill adds language to the California Retail Food Code," Menghetti explained. "Anytime the California Retail Food Code has an addition or change in code language, there is additional training that needs to be done both for the inspectors and the food facility operators. This adds one more thing that inspectors will need to check for compliance on as part of their current routine restaurant inspections."
We recommend paying close attention to any restrictions proposed in your area to stay informed and be prepared for potential changes.
For more information on plastic straw bans, see NACCHO's recent blog post examining the health benefits of straws, as well as safe and equitable alternatives to plastic.

OCC LASIK Racing is the product of a doctor's lifelong passion for motorsport and his established relationships with BAM Motorsports.
OCC LASIK is a leading laser vision correction centre in Ontario, Canada that specialises in ophthalmic surgery and eye care.
The centre has over a dozen years of experience in the field of ophthalmology and, with a proven track record in exceptional eye care, OCC LASIK prides itself in being equipped to provide superior results in laser vision correction.
The Canada-based company looked to motorsport, where clear vision is imperative to optimise performance and maximise safety, to boost its public profile when it appointed FIA World Touring Car Champion, Rob Huff, as an official brand ambassador in 2013.
The association, forged by BAM Motorsports, took OCC LASIK to all four corners of the globe, but Director and Eye Surgeon at OCC LASIK, Doctor Fareed Ali, took his love of motorsport further in 2016.
The Canadian is 'living the dream' and, having contested the 2015 British Dunlop Endurance Championship, his vision for the future began with an entry in the burgeoning CREVENTIC 24H Series with a new Porsche Cayman GT4 in 2017. A partial campaign followed in 2018 before testing with Aidan Read in the Thai Super Series Vattana Motorsport Lamborghini in early 2019.

3026 Camp Creek Rd.
Lancaster, SC 29720
Follow us!
On May 16, 1996 there were 38 people who didn't know where to go or what to do. But, there was a godly man and woman who loved the Lord, the Church, and God's people and were willing to open up their home to the entire group and he said "Come on over to our house and we will worship the Lord together." So, those faithful 38 brokenhearted people
met for several weeks, right there in their living room and had church.
We sang, we prayed, we cried and yes, we worshiped the Lord right there together. This is the place where "Liberty" began. The Lord blessed and added "daily" to His Church. In a few short weeks, God opened the doors for us to be able to "rent" the National Guard Armory building for $350 a month. We were given a piano, we borrowed a sound system, and we sat
in metal folding chairs, and we rounded lip some old "worn out" song books. Sometimes we had air~conditioning, and sometimes we didn't. We had to fan ourselves, but the Lord is faithful and He kept on doing His part and more and more souls were saved. It ~asn't long until we had enough money in the bank to make one of first major purchases. We bought a 36 passenger bus, and had it painted for $500 and she took us everywhere we needed to go. I don't know for sure, but we put many, many miles on it, and have shared some of the most precious times together, laughing, singing, and having some great times of fellowship right on "Liberty's Church Bus." Going to the Zoo, to the Ball Games, on our "Couple's Retreat". We were told right before Thanksgiving of 1996 that our space at the "Armory" was needed and that we had to go .... so, once again, God opened the door for us, but we had to move into the rental store~front building that was right beside "Grinder's". Well, it needed "MAJOR repairs. So for two weeks we cleaned, we scraped, we painted, and we repaired, and then .... we moved in. This store~front building has seen many souls walk the aisle for Jesus! (If only those walls could talk.) We only had seating for 100 but, there have been as many as 170 people present at one time here in this building. Singing, praying, worshiping and praising the Lord here together. Then as God continued to bless, we were able to start a "Building Fund" and together with the Lord's help .... and, many, many fund~raisers later we were able to save over $50,000 to purchase some land for Liberty. We had searched and searched for land and each time "we" thought we may have found the place God wanted us to be .... it just didn't happen. God would close the door, or say "no". Then one day, God allowed one of our deacons to do some work for a lady right here in this community, and it just so happened that he mentioned to her that were searching for some land. And God showed us that this was the place ..... It sits here on six acres of prime property (that God has given us) that we have come to worship and praise Him in today! GOD IS SO GOOD! He has met EVERY need that Liberty Free Will Baptist Church has ever had. He will meet your needs too, today if you will just trust Him to take care of it. It took a lot of broken hearts that God joined together and healed, so we too could show God's love for others. Here at Liberty Free Will Baptist Church, we love Jesus, and we love people. We now are a different church. We have God's Liberty! We are not ashamed to worship the Lord. July 21, 2002 we broke ground to build a new Sanctuary to seat 500 and new Sunday School rooms. God is still blessing Liberty Free Will Baptist Church and if we seek Him in all that we do, and do the jobs that He has given to us, we will continue to be blessed and grow.

@article {94751, title = {Study of ecto and haemo parasites in domestic pigeons (Columba livia domestica) in Sulaimani province, Kurdistan region/Iraq}, journal = {Journal of Zankoy Sulaimani - Part A}, volume = {20}, year = {2018}, month = {03-2019}, pages = {37 - 44}, abstract = {
Pigeons are very well adapted and proliferate without control in urban centers. In this current study, ectoparasites and haemoparasites of 140 adult domestic pigeons (Columba livia domestica) of both sexes were studied, from different localities in Sulaimani province during April to October 2014, since there is no enough data regarding the frequency and identification of ectoparasites and haemoparasites in domestic pigeons in Sulaimani province. All pigeons were examined for the presence of ectoparasites and haemoparasites through checking of blood samples using Giemsa stain. As a result, various species of ectoparasites and haemoparasites were observed. From which, 4 species of lice were detected named Columbicola columbae (62.5\%) followed by Hoborstiella lata (10.42\%), Campanulotes compar (4.17\%) and Menacanthus stramineus (3.13\%). On the other hands, 19.79\% of infected pigeons with ectoparasites were diagnosed with the presence of more than 1 lice species. Additionally, examined Giemsa stained smears showed that 55.72\% of studied pigeons were harbor haemoparasites including Haemoproteus species (28.20\%) followed by Plasmodium species (26.92\%) and then Leucocytozoon species (11.53\%) consequently.}, keywords = {Columba livia domestica, ectoparasite, Haemoparasite, pigeon, Sulaimani}, issn = {18124100}, doi = {10.17656/jzs.10640}, url = {http://jzs.univsul.edu.iq/issues/vol20n1/jzs-10640}, author = {Shadan Hassan Abdullah and Aram Ahmad Mohammed and Nahla Mohammed Saeid} }

So much for a Preseason banner. The franchise that has treated us to three straight 3-1 Augusts under coach Jay Gruden is in danger of its first non-winning preseason since 2010. On the bright side, it's August. Many of the players you saw in Thursday's 23-3 loss at Baltimore will not be around September 10th when Philadelphia drops by Fed Ex Field. So there's that. Also, many of the players expected to be major contributors either saw minimal snaps (Kirk Cousins) or didn't play at all (Junior Galette) against the Ravens. Lastly, as it was an interconference loss the Skins would still look pretty good on tiebreakers for an NFC East Preseason title. As dominant as they've been this decade (21-8), the Burgundy and Gold haven't been the top division team in August since they went 4-0 in 2013.
Captain Kirk- the franchise tagged one played just two series, completing 1-2 passes for 5 yards and got sacked once. He completed no passes to Jordan Reed (who didn't play) and couldn't find Josh Doctston downfield (he also sat). Minus his usual array of weapons and a small sample size, this wasn't as impressive as last year's 5-for-5. But it's only August.
Backups Back Up- instead of thrilling us like Colt Brennan or the legendary Babe Laufenberg, the Skins backups combined to complete 11 of 25 passes for 108 yards and an interception. Don't Colt McCoy and Nate Sudfeld know that this is August? That's when Ryan Grant explodes for 5 catches and 100 yards! Instead, the perennial preseason star notched just one grab for 17–although it did lead to one of the team's eight first downs.
First Half Glass Half Empty- if you write off the second half as the back ends of both rosters saw the majority of playing time after intermission, they gained just 48 yards on 24 plays from scrimmage in the first and second quarters. The Ravens? A robust 155 yards on 39 plays. So the D wasn't exactly rock-solid either. Repeat after me: it's only August.
Running on Empty- the ground game gained just 39 yards on 18 carries…with Samaje Perine leading the way with 15 yards on 6 tries. But the rookie from Oklahoma also fumbled, dropped a pass and struggled in pass protection. Decidedly less than ideal…even if it is only August.
Three &…it's only August- the Burgundy and Gold converted just 2 of 13 third downs against the Ravens. QB breakdown: Cousins was sacked, Colt McCoy went 2-4 with one conversion, and Nate Sudfeld went 0-4 with a punt-inducing sack. Run-pass comparison: 1 for 2 on runs and 1 for 11 on pass plays. Yardage: 1-3 on short-yardage, 0-3 on medium yardage (in between 4 and 6 yards needed to move the chains) and 1-7 on long-yardage.
Defensively- they did hold the Ravens to 5-15 on third down. If there was one achilles last year for this defense that did not involve Junior Galette, it was the team's inability to get off the field on third down. Zach Virgil and Josh Harvey-Clemons led the D with six stops apiece…while Nico Marley tallied four tackles and a sack. Zach Brown also had four stops…and gives me hope that I can use his weekly performances to talk "Saved by the Bell".
Special Situations- remember just a few years ago when the Skins' kicking game was a nightmare? Not so in 2017…as Dustin Hopkins connects from 49 yards in his only field goal attempt. Tress Way punted nine times for an average of 46 yards per kick…and the return game averaged just under 20 yards on kickoffs and 10 yards on punts. Kick coverage was solid (10 yards per return)…and despite Keenan Reynolds 46 yard punt return, the punt coverage wasn't embarrassing. I like the fact that only 2 of Way's 9 punts were returned…although the 2 touchbacks were less than ideal.
Flying Flags- 7 penalties for 91 yards. Again, many of these infractions are by players who will not be here this time next month. So we move on…unless it gets worse as the regulars play more.
Injuries- the defense took a hit with Trent Murphy and Su'ah Cravens both suffering knee injuries. No word on the severity of either. The team was going to miss Murphy anyway with the linebacker serving a suspension for PED's from weeks one through four of the regular season…but the loss of Cravens hurts as the converted linebacker still has strides to make settling into his new position.
One more weekend in Richmond- the team finishes its stay in the Commonwealth's capital with workouts Saturday and Sunday.
