All you need to know about coronavirus: www.sacoronavirus.co.za
We have been doing print and digital design work for the Gauteng Partnership Fund for 10 years now, and this year we are proud to design and produce their Annual Report for 2014/15. Annual Reports have a tendency to get quite tricky, with so many departments and individuals overseeing and managing different sections of the Report. Deadlines are ususally quite tight and one has to keep a close eye on the expensive production process. But with a team like ours, no challenge is ever too difficult to overcome! It was a pleasure having this Report in our studio, and we hope that this is the first of many! Thank you GPF.

While in South Africa filming The Black Mambas, Nigel Marven, Simon Jones of Helping Rhinos, cameraman Michael Hutchinson and I were privileged to be able to visit and film with the baby rhino orphans at Rhino Revolution in order to see how The Black Mambas help with this wonderful rhino rescue. One of the members of staff we met was Jade Aldridge, a 27 year old veterinary nurse from Surrey, UK.
Jade has previously worked at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, but keen to explore the world, she left the UK in 2014 to volunteer at an animal rehabilitation centre in Limpopo in South Africa looking after injured and orphaned wild animals. It was here her eyes were opened to the rhino poaching crisis happening in Africa when she had to look after her first orphaned rhino calf.
When Rhino Revolution opened their orphanage in September last year, they urgently needed a veterinary nurse experienced in caring for these traumatized orphans. Now sleeping in a pen with a 3 month old rhino orphan alongside her, and getting up at night to do two hourly bottle feeds, she admits that her days of neutering cats and dogs at Battersea Dogs Home seems a very long way away indeed….
Anneka: Why did you choose to go out to help the Rhinos?
Jade: I originally came as a volunteer in wildlife rehabilitation, this introduced to me to working with rhino orphans and a better understanding of the poaching crisis. On the back of this I grew a passion for rhinos and their conservation.
Anneka: How many rhinos in your care?
Jade: There are currently 4 rhinos.
Anneka: How often does the rescue take in a new rhino?
Jade: The orphanage opened in September last year, at the request of all the game reserves in the area who are battling with poaching. Sadly our first rhino calf turned up within 3 weeks of opening and since we have opened we have averaged on 1 rhino calf per month.
Anneka: What is the approx. cost to wean each rhino to full releasable size?
Jade: It is variable on each individual calf, we work on a minimum basic of 10,000R (450 GBP)/month/calf but for instance we have 2 calves at the moment that have extra nutritional needs and therefore being supplemented and costing us more. The calves will need bottle feeding until they are 12-18 months when they will then solely graze and be supplemented with Lucerne and Teff. In the wild calves stay with their mothers until around 3 years old, with our current calves arriving around 4 months when their mothers were killed old this is a good 3 years we have to fund their feeds.
Anneka: What do they eat/drink and how often do they feed?
Jade: They have a milk formula consisting of skimmed milk powder, glucose and protexin (a probiotic). From 3 months old they start grazing as well as still drinking milk, but unfortunately due the drought there is no grazing so we have to supplement with Teff and Lucerne which is costing us a lot. Frequency and amounts depends on their age and weight, for instance a neonate (very young calves) and any age calf during a stabilization period is fed every 2 hours around the clock. Dependent on condition, medical status and time of year this would be adjusted.
Anneka: Tell me more about the body contact they need at night?
Jade: Rhino calves are with their mums in the wild 24/ 7 they sleep next to each other so we try mimic this as close as possible acting as a surrogate mum, or else the stress of being alone can cause some serious and sometimes fatal issues. As soon they are stabilized which can take any length of time depending on the trauma they have gone through we will introduce them to the rest of our orphans to make bonds with them and hope they will form a crash (collective noun for a group of rhino).
Anneka: How many orphanages are their currently in the Kruger area?
Jade: There are a number of facilities that can take rhino calves in South Africa; we are the only purpose built closed facility in the greater Kruger area. Kruger area has South Africa's greatest rhino population and consequently the world's most significant numbers of rhino, so sadly the Kruger area is a big target for poaching. There was a great need for a rhino facility in this area to cope with the number of orphans being found and built at the request of eminent rhino conservationists and private game reserve owners in the area, who are being targeted by poachers.
Anneka: What happens to a baby rhino if there is nowhere for it to be raised?
Jade: Calves stay with their mothers until they are around 3 years old, depending on them for milk and protection from territorial males and predators. Sadly when the mothers are killed, if the orphans are not quickly located and transferred to a secure location it is unlikely they will survive.
Anneka: What are the Black Mambas doing to help Rhino Revolution?
Jade: Black Mambas are predominately assisting with security but are involved in all aspects of our rhino rehabilitation.
Anneka: What is the saddest story you have encountered with a baby rhino?
Jade: Our latest arrival is Chipoko, this means ghost in Tsonga, she was named due to her elusive manner, as it took 5 long, hot days, in 40 degree heat, to find her, after her mother was found murdered. When the rangers found her mother's body, they knew she must have a calf, as her udder was full of milk. Chipoko was eventually found 12km away from her mother's carcass, as she had run away and hidden, although she was only 3 months old and still so reliant on her mother's milk she had survived eating dried grass and mud.
When Chipoko arrived at the orphanage, she immediately took to the bottle, as she was starving. However her stomach was plagued with trouble as the constipated baby tried to expel the solidified mud she had been eating. Then came bloat, nausea, colic which was very distressing to see. Thankfully with round the clock care, treatment, she has finally seemed to of recovered and started to settle down. One can only begin to imagine the horrors she has witnessed and the terrors she has been through.
Rhinos are such sentient, sensitive animals. Chipoko cried every time I left her (the only time I left her was to make her milk bottles for a short 5 minute period) and makes a heart touching squealing sound trying to communicate.
Anneka: Also tell me about any other sad heart-breaking stories with the rhinos you have heard about or been in contact with?
Jade: Each calves story is as sad as each other's, but to put into perspective all four of our calves witnessed their mothers being brutally killed and have suffered post-traumatic stress on the back of this.
Anneka: Do you feel that your job itself is dangerous and do you ever feel unsafe yourself?
Jade: Of course it can be dangerous working with any wild animal. My biggest fear is poachers coming to the facility, but we have a very tight 24hr security including cctv.
Anneka: What facilities does Rhino Revolution need now to expand in order to accommodate other rhinos?
Jade: With current levels of poaching we are averaging one calf a month, our facility can hold a maximum of 10 orphans, however this is causing a huge strain on our funds, as each calf is so expensive to feed and care for. We are desperately hoping that people will make donations to contribute towards these escalating costs.
Anneka: What is your ultimate dream for the orphanage?
Jade: My immediate wish is that with enough funding we are able to give the best level of care to these poor traumatized orphans.

However, it is great choice to protect your home as well as your life from a fire. In order to use the extinguisher inappropriate situation, you need to take care of the product and maintain well, so that it can be readily used during emergencies. Fire can be caused due to numerous factors, so you need to pick the right fire extinguisher to meet the emergency situation.
Various Types of Fire Extinguishers
There are different kinds of fire extinguishers available to combat against various kinds of fire. The most common kinds of fire extinguishers include CO2, dry chemical air pressurized water, dry chemical and wet chemical extinguisher. When there happens for fire in rubber, wood, plastics, paper, clothes or any other type, then this water fire extinguisher can be preferred. However, if a fire takes pale in solvents, grease, lacquers, gasoline, oils or paints then carbon dioxide extinguishers can be preferred. If firing takes place in computers, wiring, energized electrical equipment or fuse boxes, then dry extinguisher can be employed, see this excellent fire equipment servicing.
Purpose of Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers seem to be the essential safety device for residential units, workplace and public places. Since, this device is highly beneficial to restrict the fire till the emergency personnel arrives the destination. Apart from that, fire extinguishers also assist you to absolutely put-out of the fire in many situations and hence saves your precious life tremendously.

Part 1 of 4 in a series of blog posts about Standards-Based Grading
For myself, I have spent several years shifting into a Standards-Based Grading (SBG) model of assessment & evaluation (A&E). I have gradually adopted what I considered to be the best practices of colleagues I met within my school board, teachers from other boards at educational conferences and from teachers in the educational blogosphere.
For many OCDSB teachers, they have simply heard that the school board's A&E policies & documentation are changing, effective September, 2014. I've heard many teachers express their anxiety over what they perceive to be a lack of training with these new documents. The school board recently put in place some on-line training modules, but is also hoping that the teachers who have been implementing this type of A&E over the last few years will lead a bottom-up training approach to getting their colleagues on board.
What we were doing before:
Teachers taught their courses by unit. Sometimes those units came from the curriculum documents, sometimes they came from the textbook which divides the course up into chapters. We taught each unit, and at its end assigned a test on that unit or chapter. Those tests were divided up into 4 sections of problems/questions; Knowledge/Understanding, Application, Thinking, & Communication (the achievement chart categories; can be found at the beginning of each curriculum document).
Students received 4 different marks, one for each category. Those marks then got input into a grading software like MarkBook by "bin" that would weight the categories the way we wanted and calculate an average for us.
Marks were collected & recorded by unit/chapter and by the 4 categories.
What we're doing now:
Use the overall expectations in our curriculum documents as a way to divide up our teaching and our evaluation. We test a student on whether or not they are proficient at a certain curriculum expectation. We evaluate their proficiency using levels (R, 1, 2, 3, 4).
The overall expectations (OEs) are what we need to evaluate or test. The specific expectations (SEs) are what we need to teach. Of course we will evaluate some of the SEs since they make up the OEs, but we do not need to test students on every single SE.
"All curriculum expectations must be accounted for in instruction, but evaluation focuses on students' achievement of the overall expectations. A student's achievement of the overall expectations is evaluated on the basis of his or her achievement of related specific expectations (including the process expectations). The overall expectations are broad in nature, and the specific expectations define the particular content or scope of the knowledge and skills referred to in the overall expectations.Teachers will use their professional judgement to determine which specific expectations should be used to evaluate achievement of the overall expectations, and which ones will be covered in instruction and assessment (e.g., through direct observation) but not necessarily evaluated." – Gr. 9-10 Mathematics Curriculum in Ontario
Most curricula have anywhere from 9-12 overall expectations. These OEs are the "standards" according to which you will be evaluating your students. For example, in my mathematics curriculum I might evaluate my students' ability to meet the expectation of "solving a linear equation".
One thing I love about this is that it forces us, as teachers, to really become familiar with our curriculum documents. This is in contrast to a reliance on textbooks created by companies for profit but not necessarily well-matched to the curriculum (but that's a conversation for another day).
Another thing that is so great about SBG is the ability to pinpoint the topics/skills (by OE) that a student is strong in or in which they need to improve. Even better is when you have the students track their progress too so that they always know what areas they need to work on. More to come on this when we talk about Evidence Records later on.
The placemat:
The OCDSB has created what they call "the placemat" which is meant to give an overview of the documents we will be using to support this shift in our assessment & evaluation practices:
placemat (in pdf)
Get reading:
The best way to really get a good grip on the framework and philosophy behind SBG is to read a lot about it. That's what I did to really understand what we were trying to do beyond the A&E documents the school board is focusing on (Assessment Plan & Evidence Record).

Sheffield narrowly misses out on European City of the Year but launches new campaign website for the city
27 November 2019
Sheffield narrowly missed out on being crowned European City of the Year by the Academy of Urbanism at the Urbanism Awards Ceremony in London last night (Wednesday 27 November). A three way battle between the South Yorkshire city, Porto and Utrecht was ultimately won by XXXX.
The Academy of Urbanism is a politically independent, not-for-profit organisation that brings together both the current and next generation of urban leaders, thinkers and practitioners. The academy's annual Urbanism Awards celebrate outstanding examples of good urbanism across the UK, Ireland and Europe, by recognising the best, most enduring or improved urban environments.
The Academy or Urbanism commended Sheffield by saying: "Like all other UK core cities, Sheffield has relatively low economic power compared with most European OECD core cities, but the city has increasingly compensated by using the power of a combination of its unique environment, heritage, culture and, above all else, its people."
Earlier this year, Sheffield welcomed a delegation from the Academy of Urbanism to learn more about the city's innovations in urban development and meet a host of individuals at forefront of these flagship innovations. The delegation met with people from private, public, voluntary and third sectors to give a representation that is as true as possible to the make-up of the city.
During the visit they took in an extensive tour of the city to see a wide variety of city projects, initiatives and organisations. These spanned from new developments like Kollider to those still underway like Parkhill; from The Heeley Development Trust to Lady Cannings mountain bike trail in the Peak District; from Kelham Island to the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre; cultural immersion throughout the city; and from Hallam University's Advanced Wellness Research Centre to the iconic Cutler's Hall and city Cathedral.
Over the last few years, Sheffield has seen resurgence as a destination with urbanism, foreign investment, culture and booming new sectors flourishing in spite of austerity. Progressive developments such as Heart of the City II and Grey to Green have attracted international attention, as increasingly the city is being looked to as an example of sustainable regeneration with climate change resilience in-built as part of the urban environment.
On being shortlisted, Martin McKervey, Chair of the Sheffield Property Association said:
"It is a true honour for Sheffield to have been shortlisted for the prestigious European City of the Year. It gives further recognition to Sheffield's growing profile as a destination for not only our prestigious heritage in manufacturing and culture, but also for the flourishing new sectors of digital technology, child health technology and world-leading applied research by both the Universities.
"While in the past, Sheffield has perhaps been overshadowed by other Northern cities or eclipsed completely by London, awards such as this prove our position as a contender on the international stage."
To coincide with the awards event, a new showcase What Makes Sheffield website (www.whatmakessheffield.com) launched on Wednesday 27th November, which is a campaign platform to drive awareness and change perceptions of Sheffield. It celebrates the amazing stories of inventiveness present throughout all parts of the city, and shines a spotlight on the individuals forging a new future for the city.
The website has been created by Marketing Sheffield, the city's official destination organisation and part of the Council's City Growth Department. Explaining the vision behind the new website Edward Highfield, Director of City Growth, Sheffield City Council, said:
"Research tells us the true value of any place is the people who form it and that couldn't be truer in Sheffield. It's this that has become the defining theme of our Sheffield brand and the new What Makes Sheffield site, in that 'Sheffield makes people, and people make Sheffield'.
"By sharing these stories, we hope to showcase to external audiences the city's transformation and drive further investment here, as well as demonstrate why we are a fantastic place to live, work and visit. But more than that, it's about showing what we contribute to the world and how as a collection of people the city is helping to solve some of the most significant problems we face - locally, regionally, nationally and on a global scale.
"To have come this close to being European City of the Year just spurs us on more, and we now have a huge opportunity to demonstrate our credentials in this respect."

Retail healthcare providers depend on the uptime of specialized clinical equipment and clean, well-maintained facilities.
If critical equipment or facility systems fail, not only will customer experience suffer it can lead to much dire consequences. Leaders in retail healthcare understand that a patient-centric approach is paramount to success. With this in mind, It's imperative that these assets are maintained according to schedule, serviced properly, and repaired as quickly as possible. If not, important medical services may be unavailable, leading to frustration, delays, and an eventual loss of business – not to mention a tarnished reputation.
Relative to other commercial sectors, the retail healthcare industry has a unique set of demands: Specialized equipment, 'clean room' standards, and an emphasis on patient safety means that facilities management processes must be carefully monitored. Hiring qualified, certified, and compliant contractors for repairs and regular maintenance is also a top priority. ServiceChannel's Service Automation suite is built to accommodate the retail healthcare industry's uniqueneeds, making it easier for healthcare facilities to focus on their patients.
From urgent care centers and outpatient clinics to freestanding or hospital-sponsored off-campus "emergency departments," healthcare facilities require a different level of care. ServiceChannel provides the support you need to thrive.
"ServiceChannel engaged our vendors so that we could focus on high value work while automating low impact tasks, it gives us accurate, real-time, unbiased information on our contractor performance so we can make more informed decisions, and it enables us to manage our program the way that we want it to be managed. ServiceChannel means better information, higher impact work, and technology that keeps us in control."
Facilities Maintenance Manager, Bright Now Dental
Challenges of Managing Retail Healthcare Facilities
- Retail healthcare spaces use specialized equipment such as labs, exam rooms, diagnostic centers, and patient delivery locations. Facilities managers need to be familiar with these pieces of equipment and hire contractors that know how to properly service them..
- Convenience is one of the key draws that brings patients to retail healthcare locations – because of this, healthcare facilities must ensure brand uptime in order to retain customers and maintain their brand's reputation.
- Healthcare locations must maintain an extremely high standard of cleanliness. Clean facilities and equipment ensure the health and safety of employees and patients.
- The retail healthcare industry is highly competitive; business owners must direct resources to functional, inviting facilities that drive consistently positive patient experiences.
Advantages of FM Software for Retail Healthcare
- ServiceChannel's analytics capabilities provide easy access to key trends, outliers, metrics, and insights, helping retail healthcare businesses make informed decisions around spend and efficiency.

Progress in Human Capital Analysis of the Distribution of Earnings
Jacob Mincer
NBER Working Paper No. 53
The traditional studies of income distribution, a field with which economists are becoming increasingly concerned, must be described as basically sociological. The ascendancy of the human capital approach can be viewed as a reaction of economists to this non-economic, though certainly not irrelevant, tradition. In stressing the role played by individual and family optimizing decisions in human capital investments, important aspects of income determination are brought back within the mainstream of economic theory and within the power of its analytical and econometric tools. Human capital is not the only element of choice in the analysis of income distribution . Nevertheless, it appears that the subject of human capital investments lends itself to a more systematic and comprehensive analysis of wage differentials, than each of the other factors. The following is a description of research in the distribution of labor incomes in which human capital theory serves as an organizing principle. It is, in part, a sequel to my 1970 survey and, in part, a report of ongoing research of my own and of others.

Memo to Jennie Caissie: Generally, it's not a good idea to insult someone who has a say in eliminating your job.
Caissie serves on the eight-member Governor's Council, also known as the Executive Council, the mostly invisible arm of state government that confirms the governor's judicial nominees. This week she came out with both guns blazing at state senators who want to do away with the council on the grounds that it is a costly (at least $400,000 per year) relic of our colonial past.
"Quite frankly, I can't imagine a more politically corrupt system than having the senate approve judges in this one-party state," said Caissie, one of two newly-elected Republicans on the Governor's Council. "Talk about a shake-down that would make a thug on the streets of Chicago blush."
In most states, the senate confirms judicial nominees, and some Massachusetts legislators have indeed suggested that our senate could easily do the job, but the latest word is that senate leaders, and others, don't want to go that route. They're afraid it would look too much like a power grab.
Folks are leaning, instead, to having a new group vet, and vote on, judges -- a group composed, say, of the Attorney General, Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, and President of the Massachusetts Bar Association. So Caissie was shooting down an option that had already been taken off the table.
That doesn't mean her words haven't drawn blood at the State House though.
Senate proponents of eliminating the Governor's Council wouldn't be worthy of their bumper stickers if they didn't try to turn Caissie's words against the council.
Will those words cause more senators to jump on the elimination bandwagon? Maybe.
Being dissed by someone who collects $26,000 a year to attend a brief meeting now and then, while all the time rolling up pension credits, can do wonders for your motivation.
The state constitution will have to be amended by popular vote before the Governor's Council can be eliminated. And in order for the proposal to get on the statewide ballot, the Massachusetts House of Representatives and Senate will have to vote for the measure in two consecutive years while meeting in a formal session known as a Constitutional Convention.
The legislature has scheduled its next Constitutional Convention on July 13 at 1:00 p.m. in the House chamber.
I hope Ms. Caissie will be in the lobby that day, making the pitch to passing senators and reps that the Governor's Council is a trusty tool of democracy, a venerable institution that does not deserve to die. That could get interesting fast.

Amanda Ncube, Sunday News Reporter
NINE people have died, while 20 others have been injured in road traffic accidents since the Easter Holiday started on Friday, police said yesterday.
National police spokesman Chief Superintended Paul Nyathi said six people died in one accident while the other three died in another separate accident as of yesterday.
The holiday ends on Tuesday when the country celebrates Independence Day. "The Zimbabwe Republic Police would like to confirm the death of six people in a fatal road traffic accident which occurred at the 111 km peg along Harare-Chirundu Road near Chinhoyi on 15 April at 3.30am," he said.
Chief Supt Nyathi said a Honda Fit car was travelling due east towards Banket with no passenger on board when it collided head on with a Nissan Caravan which was travelling in the opposite direction. He said the Nissan Caravan had 24 passengers on board.
"Investigations indicate that the driver of the Honda Fit encroached into the lane of oncoming traffic resulting in a head on collision. The Nissan Caravan overturned, killing four passengers on the spot and another one died on admission at Chinhoyi Provincial Hospital. The driver of the Honda Fit also perished in the accident," said Chief Supt Nyathi.
He said 20 people were injured in the accident and were referred to Chinhoyi Provincial Hospital for treatment. The bodies of the deceased are at Chinhoyi Provincial Hospital Mortuary awaiting post-mortem. He said another accident happened at the 60km peg along Birchenough-Mt Selinda Road in Chipinge on Friday at 1.30pm where three people were crashed to death by an unlicenced driver.
"The driver of a Mercededs Benz overtook a vehicle in front of oncoming traffic and in a bid to avoid a head on collision he quickly returned to his lane and lost control of the vehicle and hit three pedestrians who were walking on the edge of the road," he said.
One person died on the spot, said Chief Supt Nyathi while the other two died on admission to Chipinge District Hospital.
He said it was worrying that people were not taking repeated calls not to travel at night. Last year during the Easter holiday 10 people died in road traffic accidents.

As a shy teen
I whispered "sax"
at the pawnshop
along the Bay
a pigtailed soul
said to me,
"I'm between
two beds myself
I live between
two towns,
in two projects,
do two jobs
at once
had two Johns,
am selling two lamps
from two countries."
I said "sax
not sex,"
took my sax
out of my case
and blew the pawnshop
people away
with the blues
and decided to keep
my instrument in tact
and when I got home
I had a gig waiting for me
that benign night.
—B.Z. Niditch
Having to pawn away
an old glass decanter
that tasted red wine
a Christmas gift
from your ex-neighbor
who taught you to swim
in the home harbor
gnawed at me
until I got it back
and when we serve
grapes in July at table
the memory replies
to me,
remembering the fellow
who gave me my fins
feeling like a dolphin
diving over
my voyages on the Bay
and the still morning
when my tongue
at the pawn shop
with a ticket in hand

They are selling
used gas masks
in July
at a flea market
along the Cape
for a dollar
reminding me
of how we had to hide
under our desks
in the Cold War
when the Russians
were coming,
how can we survive
any nukes
with these treatments,
expressing incredulity
take out my sax
from my case
and played out
some cool improvisations
for the tourists
one of whom
passed the hat
and had a great lunch
along the heated waters.
—B.Z. Niditch
From his base
after Jack enlisted
he changed his mind
to be war resistant
trying to forget
the sand in his breath
and a thousand images
in a state of death.
What am I here for
he would ask
feeling out of breath
as Jack was handed
his appalling gas mask,
pulling his own weight
now hidden with his friend
Jackie in a trench
watching for an enemy
to what fateful end,
yet they became grateful
here on this park bench
when T.V. interviewed;
even when AWOL
they called for peace,
their mind was renewed
and the world made sense
when all wars could cease
and they would make
a difference.
—B.Z. Niditch
Uncle Al once said
to us in the lobby
at the St. Francis,
if we were a money
we would have
instead of brains,
he was proud
of my first play
off off Broadway
had made the papers
even in Boston,
he joked about
a once-in-a-life
stock market deal
in the Clinton years,
encircled by time
uprooted from bitterness
of his screenwriter's
plans, a Hollywood tale
of its own,
he collected his memory
with much interest
to help me out
with no one else
he put free advice
into my account.
—B.Z. Niditch
In a country pawnshop
near a horse farm
we peered through
the window
and walked in
looking over
a hundred glasses
yellow and green
from age,
old '78's
from Louis Armstrong
and Mingus
at the Newport Jazz
Mama Cass
and the Platters,
pawned violins, sax's,
trombones, a French horn,
a DVD of Garland
in A Star is Born,
checker and chess sets
Monopoly games
tennis rackets
and assorted
even marble eyes,
a grandfather's clock
which watches you,
shelves of cook books
self-help and guide books,
and "Freedom Trail"
once autographed by bz.
—B.Z. Niditch
Your first holiday
—B.Z. Niditch
Under strobe lights
roped off by one another
trying to appear calm
after an all-night
in an insomniac winter
feeling ashen
with long lines
of curiosity
reading my thoughts
and the barometer
down to zero
in this sun parlor
of a studio
with a bilingual ensemble
now pinned down
to go over
the upbeat spoof
of a comedy
as the second interview
dwindles in a muffled sound
of motionless air
on the cold pavement
a gentleman in shorts
handing out coffee cups
gives me a thumbs up.
—B.Z. Niditch
We met
in the mezzanine
at Nabucco
a foreign body
weighing in
at an operatic pole
a stranger
opposite me
near the stage
of prophetic words,
her hand emerges
from an Italian suit
to shake mine
at a well-appointed
adolescent time,
as we began
our weekly trek
to the Met
in a wonder-struck way
with attraction
for stormy voices
attuning themselves
with a diffused melody
which echoes
never leaving me
like any other love
to this day.
Today's LittleNip:
Poets often live in a miniaturized time, using a minimum of form and on a minimalist income.
—B.Z. Niditch
—B.Z. Niditch
Why bother to be here
early in the pawn shop
by the first light corner
trying to recover
the past stubs and snubs
of apprehensive sad times
undertaking what's now
disappeared like fit words
from your diary,
grave clothes in your closet,
carnival dishes
from the cupboard,
boxing gloves
you never put on
with a heavy hand,
fishing rods
which came back empty,
antiques from friends
who were not your friends
or were not antiques.

A hint of initial sweetness adds to the fruitiness and grapefruit tang of this summer ale without detracting from its clean flavour and rich hop aroma. The taste is that of a classic British style summer ale, very fresh and bitter. Expect grapefruit and a slight peach flavour, backed up by sweet caramel and digestive biscuit from the light malt balanced well against the tart, citrus hops.- Learn more about Dark Star Brewing
The Dark Star Brewing Company was born in 1994 in the cellar of The Evening Star Pub, in Brighton. With a brew plant only marginally bigger than an enthusiastic home-brew kit the characteristic style of hoppy beers was developed and tried out on the willing guinea pigs at the bar. As with all the best ideas, the business was planned on the back of a beer mat. 20 years later Dark Star can be found in Partridge Green, West Sussex, with a 45 barrel brew-house. Named after the music of The Grateful Dead, the beer went on to be Champion Beer of Britain and then later the 25 year Champion of Champions.View the Dark Star Brewing page

When I opened the newspapers Friday morning, I was struck by two things that made me think, �They still don�t get it.�
Both came from stories about the proposed immigration-reform bill that was defeated - at least temporarily - in the U.S. Senate the night before.
One was the first sentence in The Denver Post�s report that referred to "undocumented immigrants" - the politically correct, but factually incorrect, term for illegal immigrants.
And the other was a comment by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who insisted that legislators were making a mistake by rejecting the proposal which he said "has a lot of support on the outside" of the U.S. Senate.
They just don�t get it.
Most Americans "on the outside" didn�t support the proposal.
And most Americans refer to illegal immigrants as just that - illegal. They haven�t embraced the politically correct term of "undocumented immigrant," which is like calling an illegal drug dealer an "undocumented pharmacist."
Most Americans felt victorious when they went to bed Thursday night knowing the immigration reform bill was stalled in the Senate. Their message had been received, and a majority of senators were too intimidated by the people back home to advance the Kennedy-Bush proposal.
A self-appointed committee of 12 senators, including Colorado�s Ken Salazar, crafted the bill behind closed doors, in close consultation with aides sent from the White House. And sitting in on the discussions, which the American people weren�t privy to, was a former director of the pro-amnesty organization LaRaza.
When the 1,000-page document emerged, it was put on an unprecedented "fast track" by Senate leaders, who intended to vote it out - unchanged - within a week.
That didn�t happen, because the people - "outsiders" to Reid - didn�t like what they read.
As details of the proposed law began to be understood, it became clear that many of its provisions were unenforceable, that it provided an advantage for illegal immigrants over those who have for many years adhered to immigration laws, and that its promoters weren�t honestly assessing its effects.
Its defeat told the story.
Its advocates moved to end debate on the bill, calling for an immediate vote before amendments could be considered. Opponents wanted to keep it alive with more debate.
When 50 senators voted to continue the debate, with only 45 wanting to end the discussion, opponents won.
In other words, when more debate was approved, the debate was over. To understand this apparent contradiction, it�s necessary to understand how Washington works.
Because the reform-bill opponents voted for more discussion, the bill�s supporters - who control Senate procedures - removed it from the agenda. If it wasn�t going to be passed as is, it wasn�t going to remain on the floor for further discussion.
Reid, who favored an immediate vote and opposed further debate, yanked the bill from the floor and ordered the Senate to move on with other business.
After the maneuvering was over, Salazar lamented the bill�s defeat. "I am disappointed the United States Senate did not, today, fix our broken borders," he said.
One way to fix the borders - and to alleviate the growing illegal-immigration crisis - is to enforce existing immigration laws, something that Salazar opposes. Imagine that - a United States senator who openly doesn�t want the laws of the country enforced.

Foreign Minister Dhunya Maumoon said on Friday that a sub commission was to be established to maintain bilateral relations between Maldives and Sri Lanka.
Speaking to press upon conclusion of official trip to Sri Lanka, Minister Dhunya said that Lanka provided aid for the development of Maldivian education and health sectors and that establishment of a sub commission would further strengthen relations between two countries. She said that government had proposed for a sub commission to be established to hold discussions on developing heath and educations sectors.
Minister Dhunya said that discussions had been held with senior Sri Lankan government officials on a wide range of issues, including strengthening ties in tourism, health, educational and cultural areas.
"A lot of Maldivians receive health care services from Sri Lankan hospitals. It is disadvantageous for our citizens that some of the services are provided at a high rate. Therefore we asked for price rates to be reviewed and asked for concessions that could be made, during the discussions," she said.
Minister Dhunya said that Sri Lankan External Affairs Minister had provided assurances the matter would be given high priority.
Minister said that Sri Lankan government had always requested for arrangements to be made so that Sri Lankan vessels did not have to take any prior permission to cross Maldivian territorial waters on their way to the Arabian Peninsula, and that the Maldivian government always had one answer to the request.
"Sri Lanka has always requested for it. But the Maldivian government has always maintained one position on the matter. That it was a request we had difficulty in granting, and that we were looking into it further: This has always been our reply," she said.
Minister Dhunya said that she felt the government's position on the matter was clear to Sri lankan government and that Fisheries Minister Dr Mohamed Shiny had also maintained that Maldivian territorial waters would not be opened, without prior permission.
Dhunya also said that she had met with Russian ambassador for South Asian region, and that all matters had been resolved between the two countries.
Tensions had risen earlier this year when alleged Russian hacker Roman Valerevich Seleznev, son of Valery Seleznev, a member of the Duma, the Russian parliament, was arrested upon arrival at Maldives by U.S Secret Service agents.
Valery Seleznev had expressed outrage over the case and called Maldivian government accessories to kidnapping.
Minister Dhunya said relations between the two countries had strengthened after discussions held with Russian ambassador and that discussions had been held to conduct joint projects.
Meetings had been held with ambassadors from other countries as well.
A high level delegation of government officials had travelled to Sri Lanka to attend the 6th Maldives-Sri Lanka Joint Commission meeting, including Foreign Minister Dhunya Maumoon, Fisheries and Agriculture Minister Dr Mohamed Shiny, Education Minister Dr Aishath Shiham, as well as senior officials from various government ministries.

What is Electrical Hypersensitivity?
Editors Note: The following article is from EMF Blues. Please check them out here.
Electrical Hypersensitivy (EHS) is a condition in which one or more the following symptoms are experienced when one is exposed to any type of electromagnetic field.
Neurological Symptoms:
Dizziness, Headaches, Memory Loss, Concentration Difficulties, Depression, Anxiety, Fatigue, Numbness, Tingling, Joint Pain, Insomnia
Cardiac Symtpoms:
Shortness of Breath, Heart Palpitations, Irregular Heart Beat, High Blood Pressure
Visual Symptoms:
Pressure in the Eyes, Cataracts, Blurred Vision, Gritty Feeling in Eyes, Eye Pain, Light Sensitivity
Auditory Symptoms:
Hearing Loss, Ringing in the Ears
Skin Symptoms:
Rashes, Burning, Itching
Scientific Explanations for EHS Symptoms
While there has been no scientifically proven thesis on the reasons exposure to EMFs produce symptoms, a review of the massive body of literature on EMFs has led researchers to the following explanations regarding the distinct symptoms Electrical Hypersensitvity produces:
Reasons for Headaches:
"Opening of the blood-brain barrier, effects on the dopamine-opiate systems of the brain, and blood cell clumping."
Reasons for Cardiovascular Problems:
"Calcium efflux in animals' hearts; Arrhythmia in animals; Tachycardia in double-blind study with DECT cordless phones. High blood pressure found in double-blind studies."
Reasons for Psychosomatic Problems:
"The RNCNIRP 2011 mentioned that a number of papers published in 2010 showed immune response to RF EMF and that chronic RF EMF exposure may lead to "borderline psychosomatic disorders."
Reasons for Memory Loss:
"Reduced synaptic activity in hippocampus neurons; Memory loss and neuronal death observed in rats."
Reasons for Insomnia/Sleeping Disorders:
"EMF reduces levels of melatonin; 3 hours of exposure prolongs latency to reach first cycle of deep sleep, and decreases stage 4 sleep."
Reasons for Depression:
Affects blood levels of serotonin.
Reasons for Numbness/Tingling:
Certain types of EMFs have been found to destroy the Myelin Sheath covering the nerves. The Myelin Sheath acts as an electrical insulator and allows for transmission of nerve signals to take place.

It's that incredible time of year again where mother nature paints herself vivid shades of orange, red, and yellow and offers up cool breezes to make the colors dance and shake until the leaves break free from the clutches of their branches and drift to the ground. It might just be our favorite time of the year! As the season changes, we find ourselves getting outside more to soak up the cooler temps and the mesmerizing beauty of all the fall colors in Chattanooga.

If you have ever been in a cave, you probably remember how cool it was. All caves are about the same temperature: around 55 degrees Fahrenheit (13 degrees Centigrade). Dig down about 6-8 feet (2 to 2.5 meters) in your back yard and you have a similar effect. The ground is a relatively constant temperature of around 55 degrees F.
Therein lies the basis for geothermal technology that offers an essentially limitless source of non-fossil fuel based energy. Geothermal technology, also referred to as geo-exchange, takes advantage of the constant temperature zone underground and uses it as an enormous heat sink to absorb heat in the warmer months. Then, in winter when heating is desired, the same constant temperature becomes a heat source to offset the need for other energy sources to provide heating. All that is needed is a system of pipes buried in your back yard that can carry out efficient heat exchange, providing cooler air for you home in the summer and warmer air in the winter.
The idea is simple, but the technology is not simplistic. Systems should be well-engineered to maximize heat transfer and create maximum efficiency. But when done properly, the payback, especially if included in a new construction, is faster than that offered by solar or wind power.
Geothermal technology is not a new idea, but it has been ignored compared to more popular and popularized technologies such as solar photovoltaic panels, wind power, and biofuels. But the benefits of geothermal technology are compelling.
First of all, geothermal heating and cooling emits no greenhouse gases at all. It could also help countries become more energy independent and less reliant on sources of imported oil and gas.
A second benefit is that geothermal technology is not dependent on the vagaries of the weather. The geo-exchange process functions 24/7. The results are the same whether it is sunny or not, and regardless of whether the wind is blowing.
Then there are the economic advantages. A geo-exchange heating and cooling system works with existing ducts and reduces the need for heating and cooling from your already installed systems. As an add-on, a new geothermal exchange system can provide a payback of around 10 to 15 years without taking into account any government incentives. Depending on where you live and the incentives available, the payback in your specific case can be much shorter, as little …

Three page hand written letter written by Captain Leo James Pollard of the 2/10 Australian Infantry Battalion to Margaret Malval, dated 24 July 1945. This letter was sent as part of regular correspondence between Margaret and Leo. In this letter, Leo writes of capturing Balikpapan. He describes how the soldiers made themselves quite comfortable after the invasion, until the officials caught up with them. Leo expresses his desire to leave the army: he has had five years of service and two years of operational service and now wishes to return home as he does not want to be part of an invasion of Japan.
Margaret Malval emigrated to the United States of America from Melbourne, Australia in 1935. During World War II she volunteered for the American Women's Voluntary Services and sent packages to Australian soldiers through the Australian Comforts Fund, thereby entering into an exchange of correspondence with a number of Australian soldiers based in the Pacific and in Australia.
Physical Description
A three page letter, single sided, hand written with blue ink on lined paper. The paper has several creases in it where it has been folded in half and then into three uneven pieces.
This collection of letters and cards are significant as they illustrate the continuing ties felt by an emigrant to their country of birth. Margaret Malval was born and grew up in Melbourne, Victoria and moved to the United States of America to be married in 1935, where she lived for the rest of her life. Though her husband served in the United States Armed Forces, Margaret chose to send care packages to Australian soldiers through the Australian Comforts Fund, suggesting she retained strong ties to Australia.
These letters and cards were sent from Australian servicemen to Margaret, initially after receiving a care package from her which she donated through the Australian Comforts Fund. These letters and cards highlight the support of people on the home front for Australian servicemen by sending care packages through organisations like the Australian Comforts Fund, and the response of Australian Servicemen on receipt of these packages. Additionally, this collection also helps tell the stories of the frontline experience of Australian servicemen during World War II.

How Did The Easter Bunny & Santa Claus Rob Jesus Of The Credit On His Days?Sunday, April 05, 2015Mustafaa Abdul Muhammad
"This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Matthew 15;8-9
Easter is supposed to be about the death, resurrection and salvation of the Savior, Jesus Christ, however Mr. Easter Bunny, Eggs, new clothes get more play on this day and it seems Jesus gets relegated to the back seat. Similarly, Christmas is supposed to be about the birth of the child Jesus, but again Santa, Rudolph, Frosty the snowman, light & trees again get more play than Jesus and he again gets relegated to the back seat on a day supposedly dedicated to him.
We have to be courageous to ask: How did our acknowledgement of Jesus get mixed up with doctrines of men and gross materialism?
According to the "Nation retail association" the holiday of Easter earns on average 16.8 billion dollars a year. The same "Nation retail association" estimated that Americans spent over 600 billion dollars for Christmas in 2014.
Jesus went into the temple and ran out the money changers for using God's name to turn a profit. What do you think he would do in 2015 with people using his righteous name to turn a 16.8 billion dollar profit?
"Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves." Matthew 21:12
We have to be courageous enough to ask: How did old Roman wicked celebrations get superimposed on the celebration of Jesus Christ? Jesus is worthy of honor, praise and acknowledgement, but not by the world's standards.
Jesus spoke of people who honor him with their lips, but their hearts are very far from him. This world gives lip service to Christ, but the hearts/actions of the people are very far from his teachings and life example. These days, set aside for remembrance of Jesus, should inspire us to be more "Christ like" which is more "God like" not going into debt or broken finances to keep up with the jones.
Tell our beautiful black babies the truth... Bunnies don't lay eggs and there is no fat man[Santa] traveling to planet delivering gifts.

Sydney hospital investigates vaccine error
The NSW Health department has launched an investigation into a western Sydney hospital where several babies were given a potentially ineffective vaccine.
Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital is in the process of contacting 282 mothers after a fridge that stored routine hepatitis B vaccines was discovered with low temperature readings.
The mishap is the latest bungle for the hospital which was responsible for the fatal gassing mix-up of two newborns last year which left one dead and the other disabled.
NSW Health on Tuesday confirmed a formal investigation into the latest incident was underway.
"The Local Health District is ... undertaking a formal investigation to determine how and why the breach occurred and outline measures to prevent any recurrence," the organisation said in a statement.
The investigation will involve representatives from both Health Protection NSW and the independent National Centre for Immunisation Research.
Mothers who gave birth at the hospital between November 29 and January 22 this year are being contacted but the hospital says for most no action will be needed - apart from ensuring their infant receives their remaining vaccines on time.
An additional vaccine will be arranged for 15 babies.
Mothers are advised that receiving the potentially less-effective vaccine wouldn't have been harmful.
"However some babies may not have received important early protection against hepatitis B," South Western Sydney Local Health District acting director of population health Dr Stephen Conaty said on Monday evening.
Labor has blasted the government over the incident and demanded new Health Minister Brad Hazzard guarantee the safety of the babies.
Mr Hazzard has refused to comment with his office referring media inquiries to NSW Health.
Dr Conaty says Hepatitis B infection in babies is rare in Australia.

Decorating a bedroom is a very pleasant thing especially the child's room. Because you can create many themes in the room. There are many themes that you can apply to the child's room, one of which is Disney.
Disney films aren't just a lot of fans, but also become the inspiration. No wonder that small children, especially girls, have idol characters, like their princesses. Princess Disney themes are identical with girls.
For mothers who have daughters and want to design their bedrooms with princess-themed bedrooms, we provide several examples of bedrooms for girls to look more feminine and girly. Some bedrooms are designed with Disney princess fairy tales that are luxurious and elegant for our mother's daughter. The following are some princess-themed bedrooms that can be used as ideas for mothers to design the mother's daughter's bedroom.
- Princess children's bedroom, this bedroom is very beautiful and absolutely perfect with a castle head that has an open drawer on both sides
I remember displaying this one before but this only seemed really perfect for this list with a castle head that had open drawers on both sides. This is just beautiful!
- The castle's children's bedroom, this bedroom instead of just offering to sleep but can be used as a playground for the mother's daughter. I am sure that your daughter will enjoy this beautiful room by adding a natural panorama in it
- Princess children's bedroom, this bedroom is very beautiful and absolutely perfect with a castle head that has an open drawer on both sides
- Disney Princess themed children's bedroom, this bedroom is designed specifically for the daughters of mothers who like Disney Princess characters, everything in the princess theme includes a bed in the form of a dating train. beautiful not mother.

An incredibly clear, crisp, and full sounding banjo - and it doesn't feature a tone ring! The white oak rim matched with the white oak neck and resonator sound great together. Without the tone ring, this banjo is very lightweight. Your back will thank you if nothing else!
The bluegrass inspired White Lotus banjo, named for its lotus flower inspired inlay pattern, is centered around the patent pending white oak rim. The wood, notably lacking a traditional heavy tone ring, closely recreates a bright, crisp bluegrass punch, ushering in a new era in playing comfort and sound for today's banjo player.

In terms of playability the neck shape and light weight are great, and the tone is a unique voice amongst other banjos I've played. Aesthetically, my wife couldn't get over how nice it looked, especially the contrast of the midnight maple fretboard and solid oak components.
I received my new Deering White Lotus quickly, and when it arrived without the expected spikes, Banjo Studio paid for me to have them installed. Communications were friendly and prompt, and I appreciate Banjo Studio standing by their sale. I will happily do business with them again!
