THREE WAY TIE FOR PODIUM AT HONG KONG RACE WEEK18 Feb 2015
After 8 races at the 2015 Hong Kong Race Week, the points couldn't be any closer for the three top teams Cheung Ka Ho/Tse Siu Kit, Kwan Wing Ho/Lam Wing Chun and Tse Sui Lun/Chik Ho Yin.
The Hong Kong sailors all sat on an equal 12 point scoreline after 3 days of racing, with one of the scheduled four race days lost to no wind.
Six of the eight races counted, and early series leaders Cheung Ka Ho/Tse Siu Kit, who racked up back to back wins from the opening three races, looked poised for an easy victory. But each of their closest rivals changed their game plans and soon had wins in the bag too.
Going into the final race, Kwan Wing Ho/Lam Wing Chun carried a 2 point advantage, Tse Sui Lun/Chik Ho Yin in second and Cheung Ka Ho/Tse Siu Kit in third.
Fortunately Cheung Ka Ho/Tse Siu Kit bounced back strong from their OCS penalty score in the penultimate race 7, to take the race 8 win, and with it secured the Race Week win on tiebreak. Kwan Wing Ho/Lam Wing Chun were second and Tse Sui Lun/Chik Ho Yin in third in a complete leaderboard shuffle.
Ten 470 home nation teams competed at the 2015 Hong Kong Race Week, with the men and women teams racing in an open fleet. Outside of the top three who dominated the race track, a mix of results amongst the other teams showed some real potential.
Hong Kong Race Week also incorporated the event 2 of the ASAF Youth Sailing Cup.

If you run an HVAC business, marketing your business might seem challenging. You can, however, make your business to standout by doing several things. You need a personalized marketing strategy that will work for you. Ensure that marketing strategy establishes your business online and locally. The marketing plan you adopt should bring more website traffic and boost your relationships and trust.
In choosing a strategy to market your HVAC business, you should ensure it will help build a good reputation and increase your sales. There are several other factors that will play an important role in the choice of your marketing strategies such as the location, the services you offer, and your people. To determine the perfect marketing strategy, however, you need to hire an experienced professional such as KGG Consulting.
A customized marketing plan will be perfect since every HVAC business is unique. A professional in HVAC marketing will consider several factors to determine the right strategy for your business. Among the things that an expert will consider are such as your goals, marketing budget, number of employees, and your competitors. Therefore, there is no specific marketing plan that would make your HVAC business successful. Therefore, several strategies will be combined to make your business successful.
To determine the perfect marketing plan for an HVAC business, several things will need to be done. Understanding your business is the first thing you will need to do. Performing a SWOT analysis will help you to know your business. However, you need to be honest about your business. The several things that you need to carefully evaluate include the strengths, all weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. By doing this, you will be able to see the reality about your business. Therefore, it is will be easier to make marketing decisions.
Another important thing you will need to do is considering the competition. There might be other HVAC businesses in the locality where your HVAC business is located. When you clearly understand your competitors, you will have more insights on how what strategy will make your business unique from others. You can look at your competitors' websites, read their reviews, learn their process, and identify any existing gaps. You will, therefore, know where you would add value.
Again, you need to identify a target market. You can choose your target market when you understand your customers. You should list whatever you know about past and present customers and make a comparison. Find out who are your main customers whether property managers, homeowners, residential or commercial developers. You should also understand the main services you offer and the behaviors of your customers.

Should Wikileaks be punished for their actions
How do you believe our government should react?
No, I don't. I think this sort of information should be public domain anyway, as we support it with our taxes. Government should be open to the public, it's not above it. But that's me.
What if somebody gets hurt because some sensitive information was read by somebody who wasn't suppose to know it?
Freedom should always be tempered with responsibility.
Yes, He is knowingly taking stolen materials and then publishing them. There is always company information that needs to be a trade secret. So the Government will not be any different.
As I understand it, Wikileaks spend quite a lot of time considering the potential damage leaking each data set may do and ONLY leak the information if they feel will not put lives in danger. Therefore I see no reason to punish them for as long as this holds true.

Myanmar: Garment workers allege factories are using COVID-19 to dismiss union members; Incl. company responses
Unions report Myan Mode, Rui-Ning and Huabo Times factories in Myanmar are using the COVID-19 pandemic as a pretext to target and dismiss unionised workers. Inditex sources from all three factories, BESTSELLER buys from Rui Ning and Huabo Times, while MANGO and Primark are also buyers from Myan Mode and Huabo Times, respectively.
On 28 March 2020, 571 workers – including all 520 members of the factory union – were dismissed from Myan Mode garment factory. While the factory has cited a decrease in orders due to COVID-19 as reason for the dismissals, they were made hours after union representatives requested increased protections against the risk of COVID-19 infection. Myan Mode has since dismissed a further 50 workers who walked out of the factory to protest against the dismissal of the union members. On 30 May, Myan Mode reached an agreement with the union to reinstate 25 fired unionised workers and recall hundreds of other fired union members when operations return to normal as the pandemic eases. Labour groups remain concerned that the brands have not pushed for the reinstatement of all dismissed union members.
In early May 2020, Rui Ning factory laid off 324 workers – 298 of whom are union members – citing COVID-19 related reasons for the dismissals. Union leaders have accused Rui Ning of targeting them for dismissal due to their union affiliation, and report having since observed the factory hiring new workers who are not affiliated with the union.
On 14 May 2020, just three days after workers registered a new union due to fears that Huabo Times would make dismissals in response to COVID-19, factory management dismissed 26 unionised workers – including four union leaders – and a further 81 workers openly supportive of the newly formed union (107 workers in total). Workers report the factory said it needed to downsize due to the impact of COVID-19, however a few weeks later transferred workers from another factory into Huabo Times.
Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Inditex, MANGO, BESTSELLER and Primark to respond to the allegations. The responses are included below.
We received a rejoinder from the workers' unions at Rui-Ning and Myan Mode factories who said the brands ignored their pleas for help as union members and leaders were targeted, and a rejoinder from Clean Clothes Campaign who said the brands have failed in their due diligence. Inditex, BESTSELLER and MANGO were invited to provide additional comment; Inditex provided an update. The materials are included below.Get RSS feed of these results

Commentary: COVID-19 has been 'weaponized' against unionists in Myanmar
Author: Ye Yint Khant Maung, TEACIRCLEOXFORD
"COVID-19 Weaponized Against Unionists in Myanmar", 9 July 2020
...The government has... dismissed unionists' suggestions, disregarded their formal disputes, and used COVID-19 to justify intimidation and arrests of protestors. Employers have ignored COVID-19 related concerns raised by unionists... and used the pandemic as an opportunity to sack unionists en masse. The government and employers have weaponized COVID-19 to union-bust...
[At] a National Tripartite Dialogue Forum... [in March, union] Federations collectively called for the temporary shutdown of factories, with paid leave in April covered in part by the government. They also called for immediate actions to prevent the targeted termination of unionists without due process. Their recommendations were dismissed entirely...
[W]orkers [have] protested against unsafe and oppressive workplaces. Four factories from Dagon Seikkan township protested... in support of full-salary-factory closure. The factories were temporarily closed... without salary compensation. When the factories were reopened, these unionists were dismissed...
In Blue Diamond factory... workers began striking in... April ... One worker... told the media, "When we had nearly reached an agreement with the employer regarding April salaries, police cracked down on us and arrested our leaders and supporters."... The employer filed two more articles against the two leaders for picketing and advocating for protest. There are many stories of unionists being ignored, dismissed, neglected, and then arrested for illegally striking...
Workers who have been dismissed have been unable to find work elsewhere...
Inditex update on disputes at Rui Ning & Huabo Times factories
Author: Inditex
...We commit to following [the agreement reached at Myan Mode]... through to its... implementation... We continue to follow this approach in the case of Rui-Ning and Huabo Times... Since our response to BHRRC.... we are able to include the following updates:
Rui- Ning: ...we continue to play a mediation role to build an agreement between the factory and the union with the support of our IndustriALL GFA General Coordinator... [T]he factory has shared its committment to reinstate the union president and to start discussions with worker representatives about priority hiring of workers impacted by the downsizing... to be overseen by a union and factory agreed third party. Rui-Ning has also committed to join the Smart Myanmar programme to improve industrial relations. We will continue to monitor and support the situation through to a resolution...
Huabo Times: Although other international brands are the principle customers... we carried out an investigation as soon as we became aware of the dispute. We have been in regular contact with the supplier to encourage them to resolve the situation through social dialogue... [which] has now been established... an initial meeting took place between the factory management, the Labour department representative and the union representatives of... Let's Help Each Other (LHEO)...

Primark response
Author: Primark
Primark's Code of Conduct clearly states that all workers have the right to join or form trade unions of their own choosing and to bargain collectively - the current pandemic has not altered our commitment to this principle, or any others in our Code. We take any suggestion that our Code has been breached very seriously and will always investigate.
We were aware of this allegation and an investigation is already underway. We are in contact with both the union and the supplier (Huabo Times), who has entered into dialogue with the union and the Ministry of Labour, to determine further details.
Once our investigation has concluded, if a breach has been identified we will work with the supplier on remediation.

CCC rejoinder re. reports of union busting at Myan Mode, Rui-Ning & Huabo Times factories
Author: Clean Clothes Campaign
"Union Busting in Myanmar: Myan Mode, Rui-Ning and Huabo Times factories", 16 June 2020
... Despite claims from the brands... their responses thus far do not address the core problem of discrimination against trade unionists. Further... the Huabo Times factory dismissals... presents yet another case of union discrimination in the Myanmar suppliers for Inditex and Bestseller (as well as Primark). In all three cases... full remedy is yet to be provided... [and] management refused to sit at the table with the union to address the... violations and negotiate a resolution...
[T]he Rui-Ning union... [says] the layoff list was presented only hours before the union members were dismissed, which makes "consultation" of the union a mockery... Rui-Ning employees reported working overtime in the past month, and at Huabo Times, within one week of the dismissals, 200 employees from another factory branch were... called in to finish production... evidencing that the dismissals had more to do with union discrimination than necessary downsizing...
Inditex, Bestseller and Mango [are obliged] to engage in meaningful due diligence, which includes engaging with stakeholders. However, none of these brands have directly spoken to the factory union involved despite, for example, Bestseller's statement that they were willing to discuss the case with the complainant...
We welcome the Myan Mode agreement... however 545 workers are still waiting for justice. At Rui-Ning, recognition of the union [and]... an agreement... on rehiring 323 dismissed workers, is still outstanding. At Huabo Times... there is no [re]solution... Immediate steps required from Inditex, Bestseller and Mango are to ensure that the [factories'] management... negotiate in good faith with trade unions and fully remediate the rights violations. Resulting agreements should be supported by brands' ongoing orders in the factories. Without this commitment, brands are failing in their due diligence... reducing such statements to nothing more than empty CSR rhetoric... Brands and retailers need to request that all suppliers develop clear policies to ensure that Covid-19 is not used as a cover for union busting...
Rejoinder by worker unions at Myan Mode & Rui-Ning factories
Author: Worker unions at Myan Mode & Rui-Ning factories (affiliates of the Federation of Garment Workers Myanmar)
Dear Inditex, Mango and Bestseller, We the workers... who produce your clothes, were deeply shocked and saddened by your public statements that brazenly distort what happened... We work 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week to make money for you... [for] factory wages of roughly $3 per day...
[You] promise[s] to protect our human rights... during the pandemic... However, we were alarmed when it became clear you would not protect our rights when our factories used COVID-19 to attack our unions. We called on you for help but you ignored us as our union members and union leaders were targeted for permanent dismissal as a means to destroy our unions...
[Y]our characterizations that the attacks... [are] "disputes" are false — these are blatant, irrefutable cases of discrimination against unionists. At Myan Mode factory, the employer attempted to permanently fire all 520 of our union members while continuing operations with roughly 700 non-union workers... Rui-Ning... fired 300 of our union members... several non-union workers with less than one year of service were retained... but our... union president was not... repeated attempts to negotiate... assurances for recall of our union members... have been rejected...
... [Y]our due diligence was to "investigate" by asking questions to our employers but not us... [Y]ou stated... dismissals at Rui-Ning... appeared legitimate... "done in accordance with Myanmar Labour Law". This is hard to swallow since you... [know] our country's weak labor laws fail to fully comply with international labor standards and your codes of conduct... Inditex, you claimed to have provided "mediation" at Myan Mode and yet you never communicated with us, despite our repeated requests... Mango, you claimed to be "in permanent conversations with local unions" but in reality you sent us one email... but then we never heard back from you... Bestseller, you stated "...[you are] willing to discuss the case with the complainant" but you later clarified in private emails that you would only discuss our case with third parties – not us... the complainant...
[Y]our descriptions of diligently upholding your codes of conduct are dishonest... [At] Myan Mode... we repeatedly requested to negotiate a retrenchment plan that would not discriminate against our union members. You and the employer... refused... [A]fter great resistance... we could obtain a marginally better offer... [which] falls far short of your promise to respect freedom of association since more than 500 of our union members continue to suffer greatly from lack of income... At Rui-Ning, the employer still refuses to reinstate our union president and has only offered that our union members might be recalled when the pandemic eases...
We hope that our faith in you can be restored... we strongly urge you to enter direct dialogue with us... [Do] not walk away from doing business with these factories as a convenient way to avoid accountability... [At] Myan Mode, we seek assurances that you will enforce our agreement and increase your orders... so that our members will be recalled... [At] Rui-Ning... Our president must be immediately reinstated with back pay and our members must be given assurances of recall at the soonest possible date. Additionally, health and safety conditions... must be improved... Finally... any future due diligence efforts by you... [must] include engagements with our unions...
Superl factory drops charges against union leader, amid fears garment workers rights' at risk during COVID-19
Author: Annie Kelly & Harriet Grant, The Guardian
"Jailed for a Facebook post: garment workers' rights at risk during Covid-19", 16 June 2020
On... 31 March.... Soy Sros, a young Cambodian garment worker... posted... on Facebook... the factory's plans to... dismiss 88 workers... Superl Holdings, which makes luxury handbags for Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, Kate Spade, Coach and Versace... filed criminal charges, claiming that she had incited social unrest, defamed the factory and spread "fake news". The Cambodian courts charged her with an additional two criminal charges for provocation... that carry prison terms of up to three years...The treatment of Sros... [and] silence of the brands... is striking terror into the Cambodian garment worker community. It is also adding to fears among labour rights campaigners that Covid-19 is providing cover for an industry-wide suppression of workers' voices across the apparels industry. Sros, who is also a union representative... spent 55 days in pre-trial detention...
At the Huabo Times factory in [Myanmar]... unions say that 107 workers were dismissed under the guise of Covid-19 and 26 were members of a union only started a few days earlier. Of the other 81 workers, the majority were openly supportive of the union... a worker [said]..."Three days after we registered a new union they dismissed the staff. They used the excuse of the impact of Covid-19 and said they had to reduce the workforce but a few weeks later they transferred the workers from another factory into Huabo Times." Primark, Zara and Mango say they are committed to ensuring workers can unionise, and are launching investigations and working with their suppliers to resolve any issues. The factory management at Huabo Times could not be reached for comment.
In Cambodia, media coverage and campaigning by Sros' union... has seen Superl Holdings agree to drop the charges. Sros is now back at work but the criminal charges filed by the government currently still stand...
Asia: Intl. car & fashion brands investigate reports that COVID-19 has fuelled union-busting in their supply chains
Author: Matt Blomberg & Nanchanok Wongsamuth, Thomson Reuters Foundation
"Top brands probe 'union-busting' as virus spurs sackings at factories in Asia", 9 June 2020
Major brands... are investigating reports of mass sackings of union workers in their supply chains, amid fears from labour advocates that coronavirus has fuelled 'union-busting' at factories across Southeast Asia... BMW said it had set up a "response team" to pursue a complaint that one of its Thai suppliers, Sunstar Engineering, targeted unionists when it sacked 94 factory workers in May... The leader of the in-house union... said all but one of the sacked workers were members, while others who were not fired were instead pressured to leave the union...
Fashion brands Bestseller, Mango, Primark and Zara said they had launched probes into reports of union-busting in Myanmar. "We acknowledge an increased risk of union-busting during COVID-19 ... (and) have therefore increased our due diligence," said... Bestseller.
In one case, labour leaders and industry watchers said the Huabo Times factory in Pathein fired four union executives and 103 members three days after the union had been registered. Inditex-owned Zara confirmed it was looking into the issue, while Bestseller and Britain-based Primark said they were also investigating but that the sackings were in line with Myanmar's labour laws...

Inditex response
Author: Inditex
... We understand from the Myanmode garment factory management that a dispute occurred as a result of downsizing and to maintain social distancing due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We are pleased that the dispute at this supplier factory has now been resolved through social dialogue and that management has agreed to reinstate the affected workers following Inditex mediation. Specifically, the agreement includes the following relevant points: - Management has agreed to reinstate 75 of the affected workers retaining their previous positions, benefits, wages and service years and the remaining 545 dismissed workers will be rehired progressively once the company resumes normal business and the COVID-19 situation stabilises. - The management commits not to discriminate against the union. - If the factory needs to reduce workforce for credible reasons again, the union or Workplace Coordinating Committee organization members will be consulted and Myanmar Labor Law rules and regulations will be followed. - The workers commit to cooperate to improve the factory's productivity and quality level and wear PPE for their workplace safety. - The factory will establish an external "Monitoring Committee" in cooperation with entities such as the ILO to supervise the factory through the agreement process.
We understand from the Rui-Ning garment factory management that a dispute occurred as a result of downsizing and to maintain social distancing due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We have been informed by the factory that this was done in accordance with Myanmar Labour Law and with prior consultation with the factory union, with whom the factory management shared the criteria used to determine which workers would be included in the downsize process – less than 1 year in service. In spite of being one of many customers of the factory, we are working hard to support a solution through social dialogue with the help of IndustriALL Global Union with which we have a longstanding framework agreement. As part of these efforts, the factory has committed to reinstate the worker representative involved in the downsizing. We will continue to monitor and support the situation through to its resolution...

MANGO response
Author: MANGO
At MANGO we are conscious of the critical situation our industry is experiencing worldwide as a consequence of the COVID-19 health crisis.
We are aware that not only ourselves as a brand but also our chain of suppliers, and in particular the workers that make up the chain, are experiencing especially challenging times. This is why we are working hard to seek solutions in order to deal with it in the best way possible for everybody: employees, suppliers, society, etc. The best way is through alliances with key representatives of the sector, in order to provide a more effective joint response.
We understand the emergency and the need to ensure that the human rights of factory workers are respected, since they are the ones who are most vulnerable. We are maintaining a continuous dialogue with our suppliers, seeking joint solutions and commitments in order to protect business interests and the workers.
In the specific case of these factories in Myanmar, during the last month, we have been in permanent conversations with local unions in that country, Spanish union representatives and the managers of the factory and this case has been finally solved through an agreement between parts. The jointly cooperation and commitment to good faith negotiations have led to the final resolution beneficial to the employees and also to employer, the union and the brands in the case of Myanmode factory and hopefully in brief in Rui Ning as well.

BESTSELLER response
Author: BESTSELLER
... Over the weeks following the events, we have done an investigation at Ruining in relation to the complaint made against the factory. Evidence provided to us suggests that approval for the lay-off was issued by the local labour department, the lay-off list was public to all employees, and the compensation was paid out to the workers on the 8th May. Here we can see 259 out of 264 workers who had been at the factory for between 3 months and 1 year signed and received the compensation. 4 workers were unable to get to the factory on that day (due to the transportation limitations at that time), and 1 worker (the union president who had also been at the factory less than a year) refused to accept the compensation.
The time records from May show that 6 union executive members remain in the factory, and we can also see that the majority of workers that remain at the factory have been there more than 1 year. In this case, and based on the evidence provided by the factory and discussions with the factory management and workers, as well as through contacting the local police station - we have not been able to find any evidence supporting the complaints made against the factory. We are also not able to find any evidence of the attack from the local police.
Our regional representative is willing to discuss the case with the complainant, and we will continue to follow operations at this factory closely, however, based on the evidence provided by the factory to us, we currently accept that the factory has followed correct procedures...

Accelerating the development of shared housing for seniors
Banque des Territoires, Crédit Agricole Assurances and the Korian group announce a partnership to develop Ages&Vie shared housing for seniors throughout France. This form of inclusive housing is an intermediary between home support and nursing homes. The partnership signed today will allow, by 2024, the launch of 300 shared housing throughout France, offering 3,000 places for accommodation.
Olivier Sichel, Director of la Banque des Territoires, Sophie Boissard, CEO of the Korian group, and Frédéric Thomas,CEO of Crédit Agricole Assurances
Ages&Vie shared homes are organized around a common living space, where residents meet to share meals and selected moments of conviviality. They are helped in their daily lives by life assistants, some of whom live on site. Each of the eight residents also has a private space, which they can furnish and decorate according to their tastes.
"By contributing to the development of a new type of housing for seniors, Banque des Territoires is fully fulfilling its mission to serve the most inclusive territories. With a population over 75 years of age that will increase by more than 70% by 2060, local authorities, particularly those located in rural areas, are being asked to propose solutions that will allow seniors to age in complete serenity," says Olicier Sichel, Director of Banque des Territoires.
The existing housing park has 50 residences in 30 different municipalities in the Burgundy Franche-Comté region. They are operated by the Franche-Comté company Ages&Vie, created in 2008 by Nicolas Perrette, Simon Vouillot and Thierry Morel and of which the Korian group became the main shareholder in 2018.

"Thanks to this partnership, we will be able to significantly accelerate the pace of development of Ages&Vie shared homes and respond in a concrete way to the needs expressed by municipalities in rural and peri-urban areas," says Sophie Boissard, Korian Group's CEO.
"As a major player in the field of health and well-being, Crédit Agricole Assurances is proud of this partnership, which will enable it to support seniors in the regions. Located in the regions through its 39 Regional Banks, the Crédit Agricole Group plays a key role in their development and maintains strong local links with its customers, supporting them in all aspects of their lives, including old age," said Frédéric Thomas, Chief Executive Officer of Crédit Agricole Assurances.

Unique phenomenon of space captured in astrophysic telescope
A star escaped black hole and moving away very fast
This was viewed near a black hole of milky way
Perhaps this event is five million years ago
It will move out of its own solar space
New Delhi: 3.7 million miles per hour is a great speed.
At this speed, if even a small meteorite falls on the earth, then there
will be a lot of catastrophe. But scientists also believe that due to
friction after entering the earth's atmosphere, this speed will decrease
and the material inside will start burning in its grip. The same happens
with all meteorites that fall on Earth. Therefore, a meteorite that is
very large in size hits the earth like a big burning stone.
Well, except for this matter of earth, even the first time a star was seen
at such a high speed. Scientists are also surprised to see that this is
actually the incident of Milky Way of remote space.
From there, this incident of spewing a star has been captured in the
astronomy telescope. Later, scientists have also done a deeper analysis
of it. Generally, the occurrence of a star exit from this region is not
Due to this, the activities of this star escaping from there are
constantly being monitored.
According to the scientific declaration, the star which has emerged
from there is named S5-HVS1. Astronomers had already noticed this.
It was circling around a black hole. During this journey, its speed kept
increasing steadily. Following the Milky way, its movements have
been observed with the Anglo-Australian Telescope. This astronomy
telescope is located in Conabrabran, Australia.
3.7 million speed will take it out of solar system
This whole phenomenon has surprised scientists. Generally, this star
had achieved a much faster speed of 3.7 million miles per hour. This is
ten times the average wiring speed. At the moment, after exiting at
such a high speed, this star is still running forward. Because of its high
speed, scientists are assuming that it will probably go beyond the solar
system and may never come back again. One star of this variety was
identified about two decades ago. But the star of such a high speed is
seen coming out for the first time.
Scientists still know that after the black hole comes under the
influence of gravity, every star revolves around it and breaks apart.
After that, the gases of the stars spread to the surrounding areas and
illuminate them. The core of the star is contained inside a black hole.
Many times the phenomenon of spewing stars from inside the black
hole has also been captured in the telescope. But this is the first
incident of its own in which a star has moved from outside the black
hole in Milky way to the other side at high speed.
In this regard, astronomer Douglas Boubert says that because of its
high speed, it is expected that it will cross a solar system and go
elsewhere. But astronomy will benefit from knowing where it
eventually goes and at what stage it is.
Scientists also want to understand the last destination
After observing the developments so far, scientists have concluded
that the behavior of black holes also depends on the state of energy.
When two stars with opposite energy come in contact with a black
hole after being close to each other. So after moving these two stars
around, the black hole swallows one star and pushes the other far
enough. During this distraction, the speed of 3.7 million, stars
becomes so fast that it moves from one solar system to another. In this
regard, scientists also believe that the event which they are able to see
now is probably quite old and possibly half a million years old. Due to
the distance, light waves of the incident have now reached the Earth,
so scientists have got this view. In this context, it is also believed that
this event is of the time of the earth when the species of humans
were slowly learning to walk on their two legs i.e. the human species
was in the process of becoming two found animals from the quadruped

Hattiesburg, Mississippi – The City of Hattiesburg announces two additions to its roster of employees with Regina Melson as a senior planner in Urban Development and Sid Gonsoulin as the construction manager for parks projects in Administration.
Melson comes to Hattiesburg with more than 15 years of planning experience, most recently from the City of McComb where she served as the zoning director for the Department of Zoning, Inspections and Permits. She has a Master of Arts in Urban and Regional Planning and a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology from Jackson State University.
"We are thrilled to have Regina join the Urban Development team as a senior planner," said Andrew Ellard, director of Urban Development. "With service to the cities of McComb, Baton Rouge, and Jackson, as well as the Southwest Mississippi Planning & Development District, she brings hands-on experience in various facets of community development and land use administration."
Gonsoulin, who recently retired from The University of Southern Mississippi as the senior associate vice president for student affairs, will work specifically with projects funded by the 1% sales tax that was recently passed by voters in April. As a longtime resident of Hattiesburg with almost 50 years of experience in higher education, Gonsoulin's background includes planning for, budgeting and seeing projects through to completion for intramural and recreational facilities.
"When we campaigned for the 1% tax increase, we championed a process that would be both transparent and mindfully managed," said Mayor Toby Barker. "Sid's expertise and results-driven approach to planning for and managing projects of recreational facilities here in Hattiesburg for Southern Miss, and across the country as an advisor, is a key component of making sure we deliver on that promise."
Gonsoulin's position will not be funded by proceeds from the special 1% sales tax for parks and recreation. The administration retooled an existing vacant position to work collaboratively between all city departments and oversee construction of each of the 1% projects, which include:
- Miracle League inclusion field for children with special needs
- Lighting and drainage improvements to 9th Street Ballpark
- Drainage improvements to soccer fields at Tatum Park
- Expansion of the walking path at Duncan Lake
- Tennis facility improvements at Tatum Park
- Light installation at Friendship Park in East Jerusalem neighborhood
- New girls softball field at Hattiesburg High
- Chain Park amphitheater
- Refinishing of Thames Elementary gym floor for use as an indoor recreation facility during non-school hours
- Splash pad at Sullivan Park in Palmers Crossing
- Tennis court installation at E 8th Street park
- Property acquisition for a park in Midtown
- Playground equipment upgrades at Kamper Park
- Splash pad at Timberton Park
- Renovations at old Hattiesburg American building into community arts center space
- Conversion of dilapidated and abandoned property into public green spaces, pocket parks and community gardens
- Additional blueway public access point on Leaf River
- Sidewalks, bike trails and multi-use paths

I use:
1 lb Stew meat and cut up small bite size pieces with kitchen shears and brown in cooking oil.
Sliced carrots - I use frozen sliced or baby carrots
Thinly sliced celery - about 3 or 4 stalks
Cut up potatoes
1 whole onion chopped
Add water
I don't use salt - I use beef bullion granules to taste.
Bring to boil and cook on low heat with lid for about 2 hours.
Add parsley before serving.
Serve with Bisquick Biscuits or Corn Bread with jam or honey.
I have never had a formulated recipe for stew. I watched my Granny make it and it was so very good.
I think the beef bullion flavor is what makes it taste so good and also cutting the meat very small.
You can also cook all day in your crock pot.
If you like a thick stew, brown floured meat.
I like mine a little more like soup.

Beef Stew Meat, cut into chunks
Kitchen Bouquet, which is a natural gravy type seasoning
Carrots (I like baby carrots)
1 can of whole kernel corn
Prepare a bowl of flour, add salt, pepper, and garlic powder
Season beef chunks with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
In a bowl put all of the beef chunks, pour kitchen bouquet over them and toss until well coated
Roll each chunck of seasoned beef in kitchen Bouquet, then roll in flour, In a skillet add about 1/2 cup of oil , heat and braise the meat chunks. Braise or sear meat just enough to seal in the flavors
In a Large pot add 2 cans of whole tomatoes, 2 cans of water(use the tomatoe cans) add meat as each piece is finished searing
Add quarter potatoes
Add quartered onions
Add Baby Carrots
Cook until potatoes and carrots are done.
Drain can of corn, then add to pot
Taste, add additional seasoning if needed, probably won't need anything though
The Kitchen Bouquet makes a natural gravy, thats why I roll my meat in it prior to rolling in the flour
You can also add this to a crock pot and cook on slow all day or for about 5 to 6 hours

The ingredient that makes my stew good is the LOVE.
2 pkgs stewing beef
2 chopped onions
6 diced potatoes
2 bay leaves , 1/4 tsp black pepper
6 C of water and 6 pkgs of Bovril powder
simmer beef in water with onions and seasonings for 3 hours.
remove meat from pot and add potatoes and cook for 15 min.
remove potatoes from pot and bring juices to a slow boil. mix up 4 Tbsp of cornstarch in 1cup of cold water and slowly add while stirring with a wire whisk for 5 minutes.
place the meat and potatoes in a small roast pan or large casserole dish and slowly mix in the gravy.
cover with a pastry crust or biscuit mix and cook at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes in a pre-heated oven.. Sometimes I add dumplings on top instead. Serve with a side dish of your fav veggies.
This is my late grammas recipe and she called it "Hot Pot".

This is so interesting as everyone has such good variations. In my family my husband likes tomatoes in everything and that does make a good base for a stew. My girls prefer the brown gravy base either way I add lots of celery, onions carrots and potatoes. I take turns making various ways and will be sure to try some of these everyones sharing.

I refuse to use that nasty stew beef when making beef stew. I add two bay leaves to my meat when simmering it until it's fork tender. That adds great flavor to the meat. I don't use a bunch of seasonings, just bay leaves, & pepper. The veggies I use are potatoes, carrots, celery (for flavor) & onions.

Par-boil your veggies first and use the broth as a base for the stew. Make sure you brown the meat thoroughly, and that it is a tender cut. When browning, use a little sherry, madeira, wine, (or even scotch or whiskey for a less sweet taste) and let it carmalize in the pan with some chopped onions and the meat drippings. These small tricks will work wonders.

Some red wine. I remember having some on the stove when a strictly teetotalling friend came over. She raved about the smell and insisted on a taste. It was so delicious she insisted she must have my recipe. I couldn't tell her it was the red wine that added the flavor and just said it was beef bouillon and making sure the beef was well-browned.

You know in all my years of cooking I have never made beef stew. The only kind I ahve eaten is Dinty Moore. What makes beef stew different than pot roast? Except for the shape of the meat that is?

My Mom always tossed the beef in salt and pepper and flour and then browned it . At the end of stewing she would make a rue and add it and the stew was moreless in a gravy opposed to broth...everyone seems to love it. I think the veggies you add can make it your very own ...anything goes!

~FOUNDATION By: MON SAMSON Peso devaluation ... Increase in Market Prices... No Water ...
If we are to believe doomsayers, there's no other way for our country to go but down. Add to this bleak scenario the fact that our own efforts in CYA encountered numerous challenges this past school year: Difficulty in Evangelization. Decrease in CLS turnout. No Response.
Not to be disheartened, we in CYA continued to push on. It has always been the case that amidst challenges, our merry band of followers aren't ones for backing down. Staffers spent more time on campus, Big names like Jake Yap, Raoul Roncal and (ehem) Mon Samson handled the CLSes in the different units. Not only did we conduct more classroom presentations, men's camps ana Crossroads retreats, but we also came up with' innovations of the things we were already doing. Our men's events included traversing, rappelling, snorkeling and even paras ailing. And who can forget the partycum-talent's night that took the place of the traditional barndance? Along with all these were the things that we tried out for the first time like the Leader's Forum, the Committed Members Retreat, Men's Exposure Week to the brothers' life in the Servants of the Word and so much more. Whew! Looking back, I could say that we did a lot in the past year and yet, the results were not as much(at least based on what we can 'see'). Mulling over this reality, it was during Advent of 1997 that I fmally understood what God had been wanting to say to us as CYA. Even as we try to do new things, our goal is simply to widen our reach, to increase our opportunity for initial contact with people. Everything else remains the same. Back to the basics. Person to person Evangelization (PPE), radical living, relationship with God - our essence in CYA, the foundation for who we are. Continued on page 2

advance His Kingdom as individuals and as a movement, humility, I believe, is one of the prerequisites. To quote from The Imitation of Christ: "When a humble man is brought to confusion, he experiences peace, because he stands firm in god and not in this world."
FOUNDATION ..from page 1
ll structures have foundations. When you look at a building's facade or if you go inside one, you won't necessarily see them but you know they're there because foundations are what keeps a building up. In construction, what takes the longest is the laying down of the foundation. A lot of time and materials are spent building it. So much time that a casual observer or a passer-by can actually say, "Are you doing something?" or "I don't think anything is getting accomplished."
In the same breath, I can say that our work in the past year has been that, foundation-laying. It's like we're starting on a clean slate. We are once again being taught to firmly ground ourselves, deepen our roots in Christ. We can even say that it's God's way of humbling our work, that even as we serve and give it our all, in the end, everyt11ing is still all up to Him. He is God after all!

his being God's directive to all of us, I have thought of three things that we can do to help strengthen our foundations.
Love lavishly. Let our love for God be always in excess - in prayer, in our decisions, in our expressions. Let us make ourselves available for one another. Let's not wait for opportunities but really go out of our way to take initiative in building up our relationships with one another. Freely express your love, be sensitive to one another's needs. If our love for one another is abundant, then we create an environment for us to grow in our Christian life and affect others by the way we live our life. Serve humbly. Humility goes hand in hand with service. God humbles our efforts so that we will know our place and give Him the honor he is due. In order for us to

The directions need not be complicated All we need to do is to go by Christ's example of going out of His way to show His love to others.

his CYA unit finds its roots in a small parish group called the Loakan Youth Ministry in 1992. Its first members met some men who were both leaders of CYA and members of the Brotherhood of the Servants of the Word. It was from this peculiar yet Spirit-filled meeting that the story unfolds of CYA - Baguio.
• <C
Today, the unit is mainly based in the not-so-small Saint Louis University (population 21,000). Chapter Moderator Karen Mayo is ably assisted by a 7-man (and woman) Service Council and a 5-man (and woman) council of part-time staffers. It continues to move on with our, CYA vision and especially our mission of evangelizing the youth and training them to be leaders for the Church. More specifically, the student members have subtly aimed for living radical lives that speak of evangelization. They are also currently discerning which next school they will cultivate The Seed. Since we started in 1992, many have come and gone. We'd like to think that other units have reveled in triumphs and learned from failures much as we have. For this cool City of Pines, as in any other place, we know fully well that our God is near and alive ... although of course, we remain to be the coolest unit around.
PRAYING for theN ATION "Walang Tulugan Para sa H alalan"¡- That's exactly what CYA-Manila's l30-strong did at the San Carlos Seminary GYM last March 27-28, 1998. It was a night of dancing, singing, and interceeding for the nation. Views were shared about being wise as voters and being active as concerned Christian-Filipino youth who would be the beneficiaries of the up-coming elections. As we go closer to May 11, we encourage everyone to do their part in choosing and campaining for the right leaders who will lead our country. Let us continously ask for God's grace and pray for an Honest, Orderly, and feaceful 1[lections.

I hadn't realized that God already had a hand in the events that I was experiencing. Looking back now, T can say that God called me little by little. I spent my childhood years in Israel.

So while I was growing up, I got to meet different people from all corners of the globe, I also got to encounter different cultures in the countries that we visited and lived in.It almost sounds ideal but my life as a child and eventually as an adolescent had one major flaw. In the middle of that international scene, I was definitely a confused teenager. I had friends from Europe and the US who were teaching me to speak up while my own parents struggled to instill in me Filipino values of obedience and respect. I felt I was being pulled in all sorts of directions and saw my parents as people who dictated rules that would keep me from "being free". In short, I was a third culture kid, not knowing where I belonged. Those years started a cascade of one of the toughest times in my life. I began lying to my parents about going out. When they'd ground me, I would talk back and openly direspect their wishes by storming out of the house, not telling them where I would
