A team of 200 priests comment on daily Gospel
Liturgical day: Tuesday 20th in Ordinary Time
Gospel text (Mt 19,23-30): Jesus said to his disciples, «Truly I say to you: it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Yes, believe me: it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven». On hearing this the disciples were astonished and said, «Who, then, can be saved?». Jesus looked steadily at them and answered, «For humans it is impossible, but for God all things are possible» (…).
The original sin: a "disturbance" in the beginnings
(based on texts by Benedict XVI)
(Città del Vaticano, Vatican)
Today, in the Gospel we are as astonished as the disciples to hear that salvation is not possible for humanity. This is how serious the damage done by the revolution in the beginning. The images put forward in Genesis are eloquent.
Our first parents, from being naked without being embarrassed (original innocence), suddenly need to cover up, hide themselves, be afraid and blame each other. What has happened to cause this shift is original sin; they fell for the illusion of self sufficiency that is impossible: to believe that they would be as powerful as God if they ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. It is a moral perversion that has its origin in Human autonomy. We are free to act with love, but no to invent love. This is how a caricature of moral law, with terrible success, humanity closes itself off to the love of God.
—Lord, you are the Way, the Truth and the Life: Allow me to live off you, you who are Love.

One way to avoid a common plumbing problem is to make sure never to flush anything but human waste and toilet paper down a toilet. Other things made of paper like tissues, paper towels, and the like do not dissolve the same way toilet paper does and can get stuck.
Now you should be much more prepared when it comes to plumbing. If you thought that you were ready before, well you should now be an expert! The tips that were given should have provided you some advice that can help you get started with dedetizadoras em so Paulo maintaining and fixing your own desentupidora 24 horas plumbing.
If you own property where the temperature gets below freezing for an extended amount of time each year, you should make sure that pipes located in unheated areas, such as crawl spaces and garages, are insulated. Pipes that are exposed to the outside elements or those that are prone to freezing, should be protected by heat tape or thermostat-controlled heat cables to prevent them from freezing.
If you have any water in your dishwasher that should not be there, check the connection on your kitchen sink. Your hose must run in a hill pattern to avoid water mixing. Think of the St. Louis Arch — start from your sink, go uphill with the hose, and then down before connecting to the dishwasher. This way, only pressurized water can travel through the hose. Leakage won't be an issue.
Don't give a plumber the total bill payment upfront; pay them only when they have finished the job. Sometimes it is required to put a little money down before the job starts, but don't ever pay the whole amount before you know the task is done correctly. You should make sure the plumber did a good job before you pay in full.
To make sure there is no accident or sudden rush of water when you tackle a plumbing project, make sure you are ready for a cleanup. If you go into the work with a huge stack of towels and blankets ready to absorb water, the prospect of needing to actually do it will keep you alert enough to avoid triggering the accident in the first place.
Many people think that tackling their plumbing issues can be difficult. This is not necessarily true. Tackling a plumbing task, as with any task, can be easy if you have the right equipment and the right knowledge. The following article contains plumbing tips that will help you with any plumbing issue.
To avoid clogs, pay attention to what you flush. Sanitary napkins, thick toilet paper and baby wipes should never be flushed. These items can expand and cause a clog, or get caught on a pipe. Instead, dispose of them in a sanitary way that does not involve flushing them down the toilet.
Many people deal with clogged toilets. However, if your toilet will not flush every time, the water rises to the top, and there is bubbling effect occasionally, this can be due to a much deeper blockage in the main pipe. The main pipe must then be cleaned in order for your toilet to work properly.
Now that you have read these plumbing tips, you should feel a little more comfortable about looking after that scary hardware that lurks in some rooms of your home. Follow the advice above and you are sure to do the right things when tinkering around with any of the pipes.
During the winter months, your water heater works the hardest. To keep it in optimum condition, flush it out before winter arrives. Flushing the system helps remove the sediment buildup, which causes internal corrosion of your water heater, shortens its lifespan, and reduces heating efficiency. Connect a hose to the faucet near the bottom of the tank and drain several gallons by directing the water into a nearby drain.
Be careful about using liquid clog cleaners. These liquids can contain chemicals that are extremely bad for your pipes. Instead, use a snake or a plunger to dislodge any clogs you might encounter. Be sure to palavras-chave try these things before giving up and calling a plumber, who will probably re-perform those same acts.
Do not be surprised if a plumber charges you more than you expected. Many customers think that fixing a toilet or other drainage problem should be easy, therefore the price should be low. You must remember that not only does a plumber have to charge for labor, but they have to charge for parts that you need.
Avoid the bursting of pipes due to the change in the temperature. You need to allow the flow of heat to reach under the sinks and into the pipes, you have to keep the cabinet doors of the bathrooms and kitchens open. It is important to keep water running at both hot and cold faucets along with vanities that are in close proximity to exterior walls.
Do not pour grease or oil down any of your household drains. Put them in containers and place in the fridge until they are solid, then throw them away. If you pour them down the drain, they can solidify in cold pipes. These solid masses will clog your pipes and are very difficult to remove.
Basic problems with toilets can be a quick fix for even the rawest amateur plumber and is worth attempting if you can take the time to research the problem. Seek out the necessary part or parts from your local hardware store and ask for support in how to properly install them.

Another interesting news comes from Indonesian gaming industry. One of the Indonesian game developers, Joyseed acquired by iCandy Interactive to help them enter the global market.
The Australian-based publisher reportedly acquired 70% stake in Joyseed for around US$250,000 amount. The deal could add around US$100,000 (to be paid in iCandy shares) if the studio can bring in US$350,000 revenue in the next two years.
Recently, Joyseed released the soft-launched version of Hollywhoot, an idle clicker game that mimics Hollywood's movie business. With this acquisition, all games developed by Joyseed will continue to be released under Joyseed's own brand.
For the marketing operations, it will be managed by iCandy's Singapore subsidiary. This also makes Joyseed the third iCandy's studio portfolio in Southeast Asia after Malaysia's Appxplore and Singapore's Inzen Studio.
According to the press release, iCandy said that the deal also enables Joyseed to harness iCandy's userbase to market its titles too. It's also reported that until now, iCandy already has userbase around 23 million mobile gamers around the world.
Journey to the global market for the award-winning developer
Joyseed is one of Indonesia's rising star developers that have been recognized by some awards. Its game Hollywhoot won the Game of Year and Best Visual awards in Compfest 9 last year and received a nomination for the 2nd International Mobile Gaming Awards SEA 2017.
"Joyseed represents Indonesia's growing game development capabilities and demonstrates its strength by the awards that it's won in the region," said iCandy chairman Kin Wan Lau according to the press release.
"Following the limited early access launch in May, the game has continued to gain the attention of players from across the globe with its fun take on Hollywood parodies. This transaction will allow Joyseed to capitalize on the established player base of iCandy and utilize its rich experience and resources," he continues.
"We believe this acquisition will help us grow faster, learn better from mentorship with Appxplore and iCandy team," said Joyseed's CEO Bernardus Boy Dozan.
"On the other hand, this acquisition will boost our resource and network from iCandy. As a junior, it's a very important step for us, to learn from the experienced mentor and wide network from the group. We believe this acquisition will help us grow and execute our vision!" he continues.
Hollywhoot Review: Be the Greatest Movie Director in the World!
It's not too hard to be the greatest movie director in the world. When playing Hollywhoot, anything can happen. Here is our Hollywhoot review after spending time playing the game.
For now, Joyseed is preparing the global release for Hollywhoot. It is planning to release the game for Android and iOS in July 2018.
Congratulations for Joyseed and iCandy for the acquisition!

Love brings such misery and pain

It's so bad, it's so sad
I'm in love with you

But what can I do
I'm still in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues 'bout every night

New Deck & Railings – Chester County
This is a project that we completed during fall of 2014. Our team added a new deck & railings to this Chester County, PA property. During this upgrade, Smucker Brothers Construction built a TimberTech Deck and steps with Westbury Aluminum Railing. We also added all of the railing on the patio and steps. A neat feature is that every post has a cap with LED lights on a timer. We are very pleased with how this project turned out and appreciate how the aluminum really gives it a nice clean look.

Is Baking Powder Gluten-Free?
Question: Is Baking Powder Gluten-Free?
Gluten-free baking recipes frequently call for "gluten-free" baking powder and some products are labeled "gluten-free." Why is that? Learn what's in baking powder and even make your own fresh gluten-free baking powder at home.
No, not all brands of baking powder are gluten-free. Baking powder is made from baking soda, cream of tartar (a bi-product of wine production) and a "moisture absorption agent" which is usually, but not always cornstarch. Other starches including potato starch (gluten-free) and wheat starch (contains gluten) can be used in baking powder products.
Therefore, not all brands of baking powder are gluten-free. According to manufacturer information, the following baking powder brands are gluten-free. Most of these products are available at large and small grocery stores in the United States. Read More »

Full agenda for Kennett Square Borough Council includes sewer agreement discussion
By Steven Hoffman
Kennett Square Borough Council's agenda on Monday night included everything from a presentation on a recently completed feasibility study to a series of HARB application approvals to a discussion about finalizing a new sewer agreement between the borough and neighboring Kennett Township.
The feasibility study focused on potential sites for a new borough administration building and police station, including whether space for the borough administration offices and a police station could be incorporated into the plans for the parking garage expansion. The feasibility study also looked at a number of different options for places where an administration building and police station could be located, primarily focusing on properties that the borough already owns. Kennett Square Borough officials will review the results of the feasibility study.
Also at the Aug. 6 meeting, Kennett Square Borough Council briefly discussed a new sewer agreement with Kennett Township, but the issue was tabled until a later date.
"We've been working with the township to revise the agreement for about a year," borough manager Joseph Scalise explained to borough council. Scalise noted that Kennett Township is looking for some increased sewer capacity to accommodate new residential and commercial connections, so it was a good time to revise the agreement, which was first established sometime around 1978 and has been updated periodically. Several council members had questions about the agreement, including whether Kennett Township might pay for some of the upgrades to the wastewater treatment system that are currently needed, so it was decided that the best course of action would be to table the matter for now.
Council member Wayne Braffman, who serves on the borough's Finance Committee, said that the committee recently reviewed a report about the current year's budget at the halfway point, and the borough's expenditures are trending lower than what was budgeted and the revenues are coming in slightly higher than what was budgeted. Overall, Braffman said, the borough is about $40,000 ahead of what was budgeted when the revenues and expenses are combined.
"We're in pretty good shape at the halfway mark of the year," Braffman said.
Mary Hutchins, the executive director of Historic Kennett Square, informed borough council that the organization is going to be looking for people to fill four positions on the board of Historic Kennett Square for 2019.
Braffman said that it would be nice if some of the new board members lived in Kennett Square Borough. The borough is going to spread the word about the upcoming vacancies on Historic Kennett Square's board to help spread the word about them.
Borough council voted unanimously to award a professional services contract to EDiS for work related to the proposed parking garage expansion project.
Borough council approved the demolition of a building at 120 South Willow Street. The demolition of the building is necessary to make way for the new library that is going to be constructed.
HARB applications for a fence at 217 South Willow Street and a sign at 116 South Broad Street were approved by council after the applications had been reviewed by the Historic Architectural Review Board.
Borough council also approved a special event application for the Kennett High School Homecoming Parade for Sept. 28.

Canaan was the name of the fourth son of Ham, the youngest son of Noah, the father of all humanity (Genesis 9:18). This Canaan would give his name to the much coveted country of Canaan and the people who live there. The original Canaanites (an ethically diverse group of people) were displaced by Israel (Deuteronomy 7:1, but see our article on the Exodus for additional considerations).The root-verb כנע (kana') is generally thought to mean to be humbled, subdued, or brought into subjection, but more fundamentally, this verb describes the process of synchronicity; bringing elements from a wild, feral state into a state of common order and mutual benefit (like, say, a trade agreement). State formation depends on synchronicity, but, more fundamentally, so does language formation.
Canaan became the recipient of a curious curse that made him the perpetual servant of his two uncles Japheth and Shem. After having survived the flood and their 230 days stay in the Ark (40 days of rain, 150 days of floating, 40 days of drying) Noah planted a vineyard (a common symbol of general human culture), made wine and got drunk, and lay naked in his tent. Then not Canaan but Ham, the father of Canaan, saw Noah naked and quipped about it to Shem and Japheth. The two older brothers walked into their father's tent backwards and covered Noah without looking at him.
When Noah awoke he learned what Ham had done but then lashed out at Canaan, Ham's fourth son. He decreed that Japheth should become large but live in the tents of Shem, but Canaan should be the servant of all of them. Why Noah became so upset with Canaan instead of Ham is not told.
Synchronicity may demand the abandonment of one's naturally free state, which some thinkers interpret as a wholesale loss of freedom. But in fact, the secondary freedom gained (say: the ability to converse) from this initial loss (giving up growling and howling and having to agree on words) is far greater. This same principle may even explain why a universe which operates by means of the second law of thermodynamics (pursue maximum entropy) is able to produce DNA and cells to run it (greater than maximum entropy).
The strength of a group is proportional to its level of synchronicity, and the principles of laughter and harmonic music may have originated as demonstrations of strength (namely group-synchronicity) rather than entertainment (see the name Isaac).
About half of the thirty six occurrences of this verb in the Bible occurs in the reports of military campaigns (Nehemiah 9:24). A large portion of the other occurrences deal with a king's submission to God (1 Kings 21:29).
HAW Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament notes two striking usages of this verb, namely in Leviticus 26:41 and 2 Chronicles 7:14, where humility is marked as a key condition for God's blessing.
This root yields one derivative, the feminine noun כנעה (kin'a), meaning bundle or pack, which demonstrates that the verb does not simply denotes subdual but rather a bringing tightly together (Jeremiah 10:17 only).

. . . to change "quitting smoking" in this quote to "dieting"?
"Quitting smoking is the easiest thing I ever did. I ought to know. I've done it a thousand times."
– Mark Twain
For so many people in our diet-driven culture, losing weight is a serial activity. When approached with a more long-reaching outlook – and a good dose of patience – great improvements are possible. Real changes simply take time.
I like to ask clients this question: Where would you like to be in 6 months, at the same weight or higher (after losing the same 5-10 pounds 3 or more times and gaining them back), or 15-25 pounds lighter with some genuinely different habits? The answer is obvious, so why do so many people behave as if they prefer to yo-yo back and forth?

Clemson, S.C. --- The Tennessee State University volleyball team defeated South Carolina State, 3-0, in the opening match of the Big Orange Bash hosted by Clemson.
The set scores were 25-17, 25-16 and 25-19.
Shaquita Williams led the Tigers with 13 kills in the season opener while Terakka Walker added 11. Britani Hathorn registered a match-high 21 digs while Erika Moss tallied 33 set assists.
In the opening set, Tennessee State fell behind, 4-2, before taking the lead behind three straight points. After trading points over the next several rallies, the Tigers used a 7-3 run to capture a 19-13 lead. TSU went ahead, 23-17, before a service ace and a kill by Shaquita Williams sealed the win.
A couple of attack errors led to TSU falling behind, 3-0, in the second frame. The Tigers, however, regrouped and tied the match at 8-all. The score was 10-10 when a kill by Shaquita Williams sparked a 7-3 run by the Tigers and forced a Lady Bulldog timeout.
SC State pulled to within two but that would be as close as the Lady Bulldogs would get as the Tigers finished strong and took a, 2-0, match lead.
Tennessee State led early in the third set but SC State battled back as the teams played to an 11-11 tie. The lead wavered back and forth until a couple of kills from Danielle Howell and Sherryce Butler helped the Tigers go up 20-16.
SC State called a timeout in an effort to halt the Tigers' momentum but costly errors by the Lady Bulldogs coupled with timely kills from S. Williams and Rebecca Moudree pushed TSU to the win.
Tennessee State (1-0) tallied 43 total kills and hit .226 in the match while South Carolina State (0-1) only managed a .058 hitting percentage and 21 kills.
The Tigers return to action tomorrow with contests against host Clemson and Loyola-Maryland.

You have helped me come to terms with the Legends In February Shirt of dementia and that it's ok to feel sad! My grandmother has dementia. She thinks my teenage daughter is me. She thinks i'm my mom. My mom has been deceased since 2008. I don't have the emotional fortitude to keep reminding her. I just go with it. It was extremely hard the first time she called me my mom's name. But the last 5 years she's declined so much. We just try to do the best we can. She's 91.
Legends In February Shirt, Hoodie, Sweater, Longsleeve T-Shirt
Legends In February Shirt, Hoodie, Sweater, Longsleeve T-Shirt
No point in upsetting her. She is the heart & soul of our small Legends In February Shirt. Just know that you are an awesome son. Loving and taking care of her and all her needs speaks volumes about you. Dementia is a cruel disease. Your doing a great job. Keep loving and taking care of her. May god bless you with strength love and kindness. Although my parents don't have dementia…it's one of my biggest fears for them since it does run on my father's side. I cherish every moment i can with my parents and help them as much as i can.
This story is so heartbreaking but it lets people know they are not alone in caring for those who suffer from this. Also, people need to pierce the Legends In February Shirt denial of dementia happening to them. To figure out now how to pay for the months or years of care (especially with our present government determined to cut back medicare/medicaid to frighteningly meager levels), and whether that care you'll be receiving will be humane or awful.

I was asked in a recent interview what five mistakes I had seen ruin companies the most. I want to share my answer with you in hopes that it will help you lead well.
Here they are.
- Unwise Hiring – I've long been stunned by how casually some firms hire. This is usually for two reasons. First, they hire in crisis mode. Typically, someone left unexpectedly and so there's a rush to find a replacement. This means the usual due diligence is overlooked. Second, they hire sentimentally. The dock manager has a son who just got out of prison or the boss's secretary has asked to stretch her wings and try a new role. Again, the usual due diligence is overlooked. We should remember that it is relatively inexpensive to hire but it is costly to hire badly and have to fire. Hire slowly and cautiously, as free of sentiment as possible. It will serve you well.
- Clumsy Firing – Most firms create unnecessary bloodshed when they let someone go. I've seen situations in which everybody in the firm knew that a given worker had to go but it was still so mishandled by the "higher ups" that it caused the firm to lose ground for years. The wise steps to follow are simple. Maintain a clear record of the low performance or misdeeds that lead to the need for an employee to leave. Make sure this employee knows of the concerns about him or her well in advance and has a chance to address them. When the time comes to let the person go, explain well, move quickly, be generous in severance, articulate the need for the move to the rest of the firm, and show compassion for all involved. Then heal and move on. A skillful firing should gain ground for the firm in every way.
- Murky Goals – Surveys have shown that most workers believe they are expected to show up and do decent work. This is fine, but these beliefs alone won't produce an exceptional firm and motivated workers. People want to feel part of a grand purpose. They want to team. They want to achieve. They want to be rewarded for their sacrifices. They want to celebrate victories together. So, a leader must set goals that stretch the firm but that are achievable. He must talk about values that everyone can share and be proud of. She must inspire workers with visions of what can be done and what it will mean for each of them. When goals are achieved, the workers should be rewarded handsomely and celebrated. You can have a firm of "clock punchers" or you can have a firm of champions. Leaders determine the difference.
- Uninspiring Leaders – I can state this one briefly. There are the kind of leaders everyone wants to follow. They care. They embody noble values. They inspire by how they live and what they say. They are wise. They build a firm that benefits everyone and makes life better. Then there are the duds. We all know who they are. I don't even need to describe them. They are the opposite of the inspiring leader. Avoid them like the plague. Do everything possible not to be one.
- Overreach – You and your firm are made for specific purposes. If vanity and foolishness prevail, the best cookie company in the world can venture into real estate or tech or publishing and create unparalleled disaster. Global business history is filled with examples of such folly. Do what you do, do it very well, and guard the boundaries of your purpose. Success will come of it.

Nine new employees graduate from intensive Navajo Generating Station training program
LECHEE, Ariz .- Nine men have graduated from the most intense entry training program in the energy industry to become the newest employees at the Navajo Generating Station (NGS), earning the title O&M 1.
The seven-week-long Power Plant Fundamentals School, a version of the program NGS originated 40 years ago to train its operators, instructs each new employee in every phase of the power plant's technical operation, procedures and safety.
The highly technical course, which is equivalent to a two-year college course, is nicknamed the "Do or Die School" because only successful completion earns a student a fulltime job at NGS.
"You made it through. That's a significant achievement," said NGS Human Resources Manager Tim Barney. "Be proud of yourselves. A lot of people aren't able to get through it. It takes a lot of dedication."
Tom Hull has taught the course for 25 years. He said this graduating class pulled together more than many in a long time.
"The skills that you brought to the school, the work that you did helping each other out, making sure that no one got left behind, the sacrifices that you made to get through the school and the work ethic you show, don't set those things aside," he said.
Hull said there is no down time during the program. Everything taught is important, and everything needs to be learned and remembered.
Ray Elshire, who was assigned to the Black Mesa & Lake Powell Railroad, said he found out how true that was.
"Forty-one years of life and I've done a lot of things," he said at the recent graduation luncheon. "All I can say about this is 'Holy Cow.' You aren't kiddin'. This was the hardest thing."
He said calamities, problems and doubt flooded him during the second week, leaving him wondering why he left his previous job.
"Both cars break down - can't deal with it. Parent-teacher conference - can't deal with it. Dad, I got to be here - can't deal with it," Elshire said. "Tom had me to the point where I was counting flagpoles because I was expecting it to show up on a test."
But he said he's both pleased and proud to have made it through and to be working for NGS.
"I'm really looking forward to going to work on the railroad but I would have taken any job," he said. "I would have changed the tires on the bicycles. I feel real fortunate to be here."
NGS conducts the Fundamentals School twice a year. Each new course is advertised throughout the Navajo Nation and in Phoenix.
The course is difficult to get into and prospective students are told it is difficult to complete. About half of those who are interviewed are invited to participate. Then, only about half who begin are able to successfully finish.
While mechanical ability is helpful, some students come with little but a determination to succeed.
The program has been equated to a 21-credit college course, with 10 hours a day of classroom lecture and fieldwork followed by at least two hours per night of study group.
The curriculum outline is 50 pages long. It includes sections on virtually every aspect of the power plant's parts, equipment, procedures and operations; from electron theory to the railroad that delivers coal, from physics to the history of the Federal Reclamation Act of 1902 and why NGS was built where it is.
Along the way, students are taught how to study to learn the material effectively. But the key to their success is teamwork to help each other. By the end of the course, students have progressed from learning how individual systems work to understanding how they function as an interconnected whole to produce electricity.
Because NGS can be compared to an immense yet complicated tea kettle, students learn the properties of steam, heat and fuel down to their molecular levels, and how energy is captured and used.
With concerns about power plant emissions, students learn that NGS pollution controls remove 99.5 percent of particulate matter, 97 percent of sulfur dioxide and, with the addition of $45 million low NOx burners installed last year, 40 percent of nitrogen oxide.
Mike Woods, manager of New Employee Development, said NGS has hired 261 employees over the last 10 years - all of them Navajo or Navajo preference.
Another 56 employees have also taken the course.
Currently, 452 - or 83 percent - of NGS's 545 employees are Navajo.
"We feel we did a good job with you guys," he said. "We try to give you all the training so if in two or three years from now you're out here by yourself at 3 in the morning and something happens, you'll know what to do."
Among the graduates assigned to the Railroad Department are Nickolas Black, Lionel Calamity, Raymond Elshire, Nicholas Etcitty, Ryan Parkett and Rodney Thompson
Those assigned to the Maintenance Department are Derek Duncan, Alvin Smith and Myron Whitehorse.
Often, current NGS employees with professional skills are encouraged to participate in the program. Their knowledge and familiarity with NGS prove valuable to the new employees in training.
Another who went through the school is NGS mechanical engineer Franklin Mallahan, whose experience assisted the new students succeed.
Also attending were Logan Tsinigine, a recently-hired electrical engineer; Julian Galindo, a civil engineer from Phoenix; George Truillo, a recently-hired instrument technician; and Helena Badonie, an administrative assistant.

Dear HOPE Supporter,
Thank you for your generous suport to HOPE's project treating children with Rickets. Cox's Bazar has one of the rarest forms of Rickets in the world and the debilitation is still being studied by international experts. With the donations we received from you, we trated many children, particularly those with reversible Rickets; that is, we were able to reverse their condition through providing them with continuous supplements and counseling their mothers on appropriate nutrition. This is a huge success. Surgery for irreversible Rickets is costly, complicated and takes an incredibly specialized surgeon hours to perform. HOPE decided that in roder to better serve the children of Cox's Bazar and to best prevent Rickets, we would revamp our project to treat malnutrition. The help of Dr. Ekaterine, a Pediatrican from Georgia, HOPE Foundation was able to conudct a malnutrition study while treating children who were greatly suffering. HOPE has realized this is the most cost effective and sustainable approach to preventing Rickets as well as best serving children in need. Children with irreversible Rickets will continue to be seen at HOPE Hospital and referred to a specialist who will is apt to perform required surgery. HOPE is excited to announce this shift in program to our supporters, as we feel we will reach mroe children and prevent Rickets from occuring at all. Thank you again for your incredible support, it is truly affected the lives of so many Bangladeshi children.
Best Regards,
Ashley Pugh
HOPE Foundation for Women and Children of Bangladesh has been extremely busy in the past few months! Despite Cyclone Mahasan that hit our village of Cox's Bazar, we have continued to provide lifesaving health care services to those most in need. HOPE Foundation has held two cleft surgery camps in collaboration with our recent partner Smile Train, working tirelessly to give those children a second chance at life. HOPE also received a visit from our obstetric fistula surgeon, the world renowned Dr. Steven Arrowsmith, and put on an obstetric fistula repair camp during the cyclone! Because of these efforts, 18 women are now cured of their incredibly debilitating condition. In addition to providing high quality health care to thousands of women and children, these specialized care camps make HOPE a place for advanced medical specialty, which is rare given just how rural and remote of areas we are working in.
HOPE has formed new partnerships as well. On top of gaining new corporate sponsors, HOPE is now partnering with Resurge International, a California-based organization that conducts medical missions to cure burn, trauma and cleft in the world's most desperate of places. In South Asia, more children die of severe burns than HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Respiratory disease! This is due to the fact that women and children use open fire cooking pits to cook and light their homes. Often times their clothing is too loose from the body and catches on fire. Other times children are playing too closely to the fire and lack adult supervision. We are now working to address these severe burns and provide reconstructive surgery to hands and feet that have been rendered useless due to burn injuries. HOPE is looking forward to October when Resurge International will come to Cox's Bazar and provide 50 surgeries to disabled individuals!
In the near future HOPE will be expanding its educational and training opportunities for rural women and girls, and provide not only them with a livelihood and advanced skill, but also be increasing the capacity of Cox's Bazar to help bring themselves out of poverty. In educating more girls in the health care field, we are giving them the skills training that will employ them for the rest of their lives, while helping the community build better access to trained health care workers. It is essential that we continue to build the capacity of the region in which we work, as it is the most sustainable way forward. HOPE wants to ensure we are always giving back to these people in the most appropriate and generous form.
Thank you for your incredible support to HOPE Foundation for Women and Children of Bangladesh. Without you, we could not do any of this lifesaving work!
Hope Foundation for Women and Children of Bangladesh is pleased to share the great strides and successes as of late! On January 28th, 2013, our Community Midwifery Program began with the students attending their first class. This program is the first Bangladeshi Government recognized Midwifery program in all of Bangladesh! HOPE will train and graduate 100 midwives by the year 2016. In total, the course will run for 3 years, consisting of 2 years of study and the final year in an internship. The end goal of the program is to provide a supply of midwives that will be rigorously trained and capable of working in rural areas where accessibility to delivery and care services is vastly underdeveloped. The students who were chosen for this course are all local girls, living in and around Hope Foundation medical centers. This helps ensure that, once they graduate, these trained midwives can go back to their own communities and help deliver babies at home as independent practitioners or seek employment at the Hope Clinic near their homes. The midwives can also seek employment elsewhere, but by selecting girls who are living in rural areas they are more likely to stay in their communities to work and provide services to the rural women who are most at need. The use of trained midwives working with mothers while pregnant, during delivery, and postpartum, will facilitate a smoother and safer birth process. Through the use of trained midwives, we can expand our outreach and education concerning rickets, and educate new mothers on how to provide adequate nutrition to their newborns and children to prevent this condition. Furthermore, midwives will be able to recognize birthing complications during delivery and after, and help these women in need to access appropriate medical attention immediately, as opposed to these women suffering for long periods of time, unaware that their condition can be treated. A greater access to midwives means more lives are saved, both mothers and babies!
From November 4-12, 2013, the world-renowned surgeon from Michigan, Dr. Steven Arrowsmith, returned to Bangladesh to conduct Hope's third Fistula Camp. Possessing over 25 years of experience, Dr. Arrowsmith has worked all over the world, particularly in Africa, to treat women suffering from Obstetric Fistula. Fistula is a condition in which a small hole is created in the genitalia, a complication due mainly to difficult, prolonged labor. In Bangladeshi villages, most births are at home at the hands of untrained birth attendants who encourage premature bearing down as soon as labor pains begin. This painful labor can last for days and the effect of all that pressure can cause fistula. The prolonged labor also means that the baby dies inside the mother. Obstetric fistulas result in incessant, lifelong incontinence if untreated. The smell and the social stigma result in husbands abandoning their wives, since they do not know that the condition can be cured, and eventually these women become ostracized from their communities. Through our grassroots approach to locating and examining women for operation, we are treating these women and restoring their lives. 24 surgeries were completed by Dr. Arrowsmith during his 9 day camp.
November 26th through December 6th, HOPE Foundation's partner Smile Bangladesh returned to Cox's Bazar to hold a third Cleft Camp. The mission was led by Dr. Shahid Aziz, a Maxillo-facial surgeon from New Jersey, and a long-time friend of HOPE. Dr. Aziz brought along an entire team to complete 60 operations in 12 days. Here at Hope, we are ecstatic that we are reaching an ever-increasing amount of patients!
The work of Hope Foundation is due to our kind supporters. We greatly thank you for all that you have committed, and because of your actions, we have saved the lives of thousands. Your contributions pay for cleft and fistula surgeries, the training of birth attendants and midwives, food for the patients while they are admitted into the hospital, and so much more! We cannot thank you enough for the support you have shown us and we look forward to a very bright future!
Note: The picture above shows two of our volunteers, Dr. Ekaterine and Dr. Nada Alnaji feeding formula to a baby who needed our services at Hope Foundation hospital. The formula will provide this baby with the calcium that is necessary to prevent rickets.
In the last three months, Hope Foundation hospital has provided treatment of rickets for 50 children! Our committed health workers are continuing to administer door-to-door nutritional surveys to members from the Cox Bazaar community in efforts to raise their awareness of rickets and how it can be prevented with adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D. We have updated the 'Overview' section of this Global Giving page to provide more information on prevalence of rickets in the Cox Bazaar, Bangladesh area, and on our personal action plan for treating rickets. Please feel free to give it a glance. The update explains that Hope Foundation provides treatment for rickets and makes arrangements for patients with advanced cases to have surgery where they are referred to Ma-O-Shishu Hospital in Chittagong, Bangladesh. However, we are excited for that to change! In 2013 we will benefit from the services of a very qualified surgeon from France, Dr. Thierry Craviari, who has volunteered to perform rickets correction surgery in-house at Hope Foundation hospital to any of our patients in need.
Thank you kindly for keeping track of our page, our progress and for GIVING! We hope you can see how much your donations have improved the quality of these children's lives. If you want to learn more about this cause or any other projects of Hope Foundation, please ask. We would love to fill you in.
Earlier this summer on May 12th, Hope Foundation held a fundraiser at Mehfil Restaurant in Sunrise, FL. Over 100 supporters attended the dinner. Among the guests were Mr. Nurun Har (member of Parliament) and Dr. James Howell (Professor of Public Health and Associate Dean at Nova Southeastern University). We were thrilled to see the community support for a good cause and look forward to utilizing the funds raised for our various projects, including Rickets surgery.
In addition, we are delighted to welcome international medical professionals including Dr. Jonathan Pham and Dr. Garsevanidze who will be dedicating their time to our patients at Cox's Bazar Hospital for Women and Children.
Thank you all for your support and contributions. Great work has been accomplished and we could not have done it without you!

The paper mache ball is dry and thick enough to remove the inside support. Patrick decides to try to on for size.
Added some extra support at the based around the hole for Patrick's head. Traced the opening and cut out a piece of foam core to glue on.
Sketched on the rough layout for the facial features.
Created lips from tag board with tabs that fold over in order to glue it on the face to match the curve. I hate compound curves. Makes everything more difficult.

Electrical Issues well dealt with
3e - Electrical Construction was a true find! Power had suddenly gone out in part of the house late on Friday afternoon, and the circuit breakers couldn't be reset. We also had a couple of other electrical issues. Their representative came over quite quickly and fixed everything, even driving to a store to pick up an LED lighting fixture. He also managed to repair a problem we hadn't worried about. We found him to be exceptionally knowledgeable, thorough and resourceful.

This Goldendoodle Does More Good Deeds in a Day Than Most People Do in a Lifetime
Hit by a car, Hope the golden doodle almost didn't survive. She lost one of her legs, and then went on to become a tireless service dog. Today, she provides therapy for autistic children, hospice patients, trauma victims and the elderly—and she even performs in plays! Seriously, there's nothing this three-legged therapy dog can't do!

DAEGU, SOUTH KOREA – Galen Rupp went into the men's 5000 final at the World Championships with the tenth-best time this season out of the 16 finalists. That is exactly where he finished in the race; however, Rupp was moved up one spot when Imane Merga of Ethiopia, who had finished third, was disqualified for pushing.
Rupp's Oregon Track Club training partner, Mo Farah of Great Britain, won the race in 13:23.36, holding off Bernard Lagat of the United States in the stretch run. Rupp's time in his first 5000 global final was 13:28.64.
The men's 5000 was one of six finals on a rousing final day of the championships, which saw the United States win 25 total medals, just one less than its best total ever at the world meet.
The 5K race went very much as expected, with a slow pace early becoming very fast over the last two laps. Rupp ran much of the middle part of the race in second place, but had dropped back to fifth with a mile to go.
Rupp tried to put himself in the mix in the last 800 meters, but couldn't match the closing speed of Farah, Lagat and the other leaders.
The 25-year-old former Oregon star said he wasn't upset by the outcome, and took a long term view of his performance here.
"It's better to for it (at the end). If you die, you die . . . I need to keep working on my strength. I think (training) is going well."
Rupp, who finished seventh in the 10,000 earlier in the championships, said he will run one more 10,000 meter race in Brussels, Belgium before returning home.
Farah started training with Rupp under his long time coach Alberto Salazar earlier this year, and is Salazar's first athlete to win a world gold.
"I'm just so happy for Mo," Salazar said. "I know the pressure that was on him to win . . . He and Galen get along really well and are great training partners.

May is Quink Fair! Forming
Maud and i were arguing. She wants a centralized kitchen cooking for this event. I was drawing from the Burning Man culture and wanted every camp and participant to be self reliant. This energetic and fiery organizer from Montreal is helping the international effort to build a relatively small celebration in central Virginia. Maud was upset with me because the kitchen in a festival is something deeply important to her; it sets the mood on the type of sharing that is going to occur; and I hadn't manage to find a time to talk with her about it.
The event is called Quink Fair!
The formulating idea is that we know a lot about festivals, and if we try to take the best parts of several of them, we might be onto something. Which of course invites all manner of comparisons between these quite different events.
Maud hails from Velo Quebec, the giant Quebecois bicycle tour company, where one of her jobs was to scout ahead and prepare these tiny towns for a temporary invasion of as many as 2000 cyclists. Housing, sanitation, food, medical and more all need to be on hand for these exhausted cyclists who will have even longer days.
For Quink Fair! the centralized kitchen versus everyone cooks for themselves question is ultimately a cultural one. When we are comparing Burning Man with the Rainbow Gathering, we see that food is a central and slightly exclusive part of a burner's experience. Rainbow has a rule that every campfire is a public fire and for many of the camps, the principal activity is cooking for people who will not be paying for this service.
Maud is challenging that we want to be more like Rainbow than Burning Man. Part of the issue is about money. While Burning Man has a decommodification ethic, the treacherous nature of the venue requires serious preparation. The culture demands preparation, which makes the event expensive (Rainbow is free) and pushes participants to expensive and exclusionary meal plans. And Maud is a realist. Sophia House has a high functioning institutional kitchen, and groups of volunteers can sharing the cooking, with donated food, insuring that everyone gets fed. This will reduce the time spent cooking by most of the participants and camps, giving them more time to have a positively tranformational experience.
Which is what a quink actually is.
Turns out Maud is right. Rainbow's hippie roots of sharing and dynamic group cooperation are more in line with the world we are trying to create than Burning Man's radical self reliance. And clearly i should call her more.

I am a fan of survey websites and have been for a number of years now. Surveys are often frowned upon by people who earn money on the internet. Some people assume that surveys will pay you 50p for 30 minutes work. By being selective about the companies that you use it is possible to make a nice amount of money per month. You may never be able to work from home solely completing surveys, however, you could certainly enjoy a nice holiday or save towards a new car. You could take some of your survey earnings and use them for matched betting. This is a fantastic way to make some extra money.
Top survey websites
Today I am going to talk to you about my top survey websites. Survey websites are not my biggest source of income these days but they are a nice chunk when added up throughout the year.
I will give you a brief overview of the cashout for each of my top survey websites. I will also share with you some of my personal experience so I hope you find this useful.
Tips for completing surveys
Today I am going to share with you some of my top tips for completing surveys.
I regularly write about survey companies here. I'm a bit of a fan of surveys as I can pick them up as I want. I don't have to worry that if I miss surveys for a day or two that I will be penalised. I do not have to worry about being disturbed if the phone rings.
MintVine (now known as Branded Surveys)
Recently I have been on the lookout for new survey websites. One website that I have come across is Mintvine (now known as Branded Surveys). MintVine (now known as Branded Surveys) is *free to join, like almost all of the sites that I write about. Payments are made via Paypal and while I've only had one so far it was made promptly. As with most companies there are survey profiles to fill out. It is best to get these done as soon as you join. Survey profiles allow companies to send out relevant surveys and waste less of your time.
Ever wondered what is a get paid to website?
A phrase that is mentioned frequently here on Katykicker.com is get paid to. I am going to explain, in a little detail, what a get paid to website is. Also, how you can use them to make some extra cash.
A get paid to website is a website that allows you to get paid to complete a number of different offers. You will complete free, and paid, offers and receive money, points or gift vouchers in return. Depending on the website.

The label and promoter has events lined up in London, Bristol, Glasgow and Berlin this summer.
Fresh from their recent off-Sonar excursions, the outfit will be in Bristol tonight with the artist that so far has single-handedly carried their label: Auntie Flo. Next Friday they've booked French edit master Pilooski at their regular London haunt, Plastic People. They'll have a few more parties there over the course of the summer: Jackmaster and Jam City on July 20th (celebrating a record release by H+P's latest signee, Sophie, who will play live), It's A Fine Line (AKA Ivan Smagghe and Tim Paris) on July 27th and Saschienne (Sascha Funke and Julienne Dessagne) live with Trevor Jackson on August 31st.
In early July H+P will host two daytime events with Cómeme, a label run by Matias Aguayo that's most often associated with a tropical latin bent, making it prime fodder for summer outdoor parties. The first will be in Glasgow (H+P's hometown) and is co-presented by Highlife and Optimo. The bill features Aguayo with label signees Christian S and Ale Paz, plus Auntie Flo and Highlife resident Esa. There will be an after party following at La Cheetah once the party ends at 11:00 PM, with the same lineup minus Esa. The next day they'll head to Brixton for a party with Odd Rituals, featuring Aguayo, Christian S and Ale Paz plus Capracara. Both members of Optimo will DJ as well.
On July 21st H+P will throw their first party in Berlin at Loftus Hall, with many of their core artists (Auntie Flo, Esa and Sophie) plus South American acts Alejandro Paz, Ana Helder and Hugo Capablanca.
Tickets to most of Huntleys + Palmers events are available here on RA.

Holy living is something that must play an extremely important role in the life of every believer in Christ. Holiness is the tenet that creates a clear distinction between those who are in Christ and those who are not. It's also a way of living that's quite common all throughout the Bible with respect to those who have been earnestly seeking God. It is the condition by which we become acceptable and worthy before God. We're commanded by God Himself to be holy according to (1 Peter 1:16).
Besides, without holiness, no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). With this in mind, since we're wretched sinners in the sight of a holy and righteous God, we need to have a true understanding regarding the source of that holiness we are to live by, and why we have to allow that holiness to be preserved continuously by the indwelling of the person of the Holy Spirit.
Our holiness and righteousness come from Christ Jesus at the moment we accept Him as our Lord and Savior (1 Corinthians 1:30). These two things mentioned above are the starting point of our own worthiness to God. Holiness is a state of purity or freedom from sin.
Fulfilling the call to holy living is totally dependent on the finished work of Jesus on the cross as well as what He's willing to continue to do within us, through us, and with us to transform us into His likeness if we're willing to allow Him to do it through complete submission and surrender to His lordship because obedience to the Word of God is the essence of holiness.
Holiness Is The Product Of Salvation
The question is why did God save us in the first place? Well, there are three primary answers for that particular question. The first one was to deliver us from eternal death which is the product of sin by giving us eternal life through Christ (Romans 6:23). The second one was to deliver us from sin so that we could be totally free from the impulsive and controlling power of sin in order for us to have been able to live our lives for Christ's sake (Romans 6:6-7). The third one was to grant us victory, freedom, and authority over the forces of evil (Luke 10:19; Revelation 12:11).
The way that God has saved us must convince us that we can no longer live the kind of abhorrent and unacceptable life that we once used to live. Because the core message of salvation is very simple which is based on the following reality. We're saved from something so horrible, poisonous, and deadly; therefore, we must change course through genuine repentance and submission to the Word of God. In other words, we just cannot continue to live the same old life, which had brought spiritual death upon us, or the same life that is an offense to God and Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
Therefore, a deep and complete transformation within our whole attitudes, tendencies, and our ways of life must take place. After being saved, we've been transitioned from the kingdom of darkness ruled by Satan into the Kingdom of Light (Colossians 1:13-14). As a result, our ways of living and thinking have to reflect that very light that's being shun through Christ into our lives. Christ says in (John 3:19) that those who're practicing evil love the darkness because darkness is consistent with what they're practicing.
On the other hand, if we're walking in the light of Christ, our lifestyles must be consistent with that light. We're to walk away from the sinful things related to darkness that we used to practice. The brand new nature that we receive from Christ upon salvation must supersede the old one (2 Corinthians 5:17). We must be willing to put to death the old version of ourselves by living in accordance with the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16). When that happens, the Holy Spirit will empower us not to follow the impulsive desires of the flesh. That is the precursor of being filled with the Holy Spirit.
For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:7).
Upon analyzing this Scripture, the type of life that God wants us to live originates from His Kingdom. It's a form of life that's consistent with how that Kingdom operates. It's a way of life that's contrary to what our own human nature desires. Lastly, it's a way of life that's exceedingly above our old sinful lives. We've been called by God through Christ in order to inherit eternal life. But keep in mind, life doesn't just end there after being saved, and God also has many marvelous things that He wants to fulfill through us in order to move His Kingdom forward in a big way.
The truth is that we're the people that God will use in order to fulfill His sovereign will for humankind. In His Word, He lays out how we're to live as His children so that He can accomplish whatever He wants to be done through us. We must condition our lives according to the precepts found in His Word.
In that case, His Word must always have the first priority in our lives. Because if we honor the Word of God by obeying it, He's the One being honored as a result. The Word is the instrument by which God sanctifies us (John 17:17). We're Christ's representatives on this earth (2 Corinthians 5:20). We can only conduct ourselves in such a way that corresponds to the core values of whom we represent.
The Holy Spirit Is Our Holiness' Preserver
The Holy Spirit, who is a gift from God to us was sent to fulfill a very important task (John 14:26). To sum it up, His role is to release the saving, restoring, and transformative power of the death of Christ into our lives to enable it to fulfill its main purposes. Bear in mind, the Lord's death is the pathway to all blessings that we'll ever receive from God. The job of the Holy Spirit is to unleash to us the very things that Christ's death was intended to accomplish on behalf of all of us.
Our daily walk with the Lord is based entirely on what the Holy Spirit is doing in our lives. Christ has sowed a seed within everyone who has accepted Him as Savior and Lord. Therefore, the Holy Spirit was sent in order to take care of that seed, so that we could bear good fruit for the Lord. He's the One empowering us to live holy lives by aiding us to make much of Jesus.
There Is Tremendous Power In The Finished Work Of Jesus To Enable Us To Fulfill God's Holiness Call
The death of Jesus was intended to snatch us from the powerful, impulsive, and compulsive grip of our sinful nature by which Satan dominates people's lives. His death has made it possible for us to walk away from the things that used to hold us captive to how He wants us to live. We must live in such a fashion that plainly demonstrates the awesome power of the Lord's death on our lives.
We're supposed to live a completely liberated, redeemed, and fulfilled life. However, the bad news is that many people have chosen to live in ways that deny that power. Even worse, many have also chosen to dishonor Christ's tremendous sacrifice by their constant rebellion to God. It grieves God's heart to see what the enemy is doing in people's lives due to their hardheadedness and stiff-neckedness to the truth that can set them free.
In closing, we have to take full advantage of the enormous power lying within that sacrifice in order to allow God to bring toward fulfillment what Christ's death was intended to bring forth into our lives. There is power in the sacrificial death of Christ, His shedding blood, and His name to make us overcome whatever we have to overcome.
We can do so by allowing His finished work to become the core foundation of our Christian walk instead of just living as though He has never died for us. We can do so by constantly renewing our minds daily through the Word in a way that reflects what God wants to accomplish in our lives on the ground of Christ's death and resurrection, and what they mean to us. Lastly, we can do that by stopping to live in our human ways but to live according to God's call and purpose for our lives.

ICC Zambales Documentary
The Lighthouse Marina Resort with the International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians (IYFR) Philippine Fleet, in partnership with Metro Pacific Investments Foundation (MPIF), in cooperation with Ocean Conservancy and ICC Philippines collaborated in one of the largest volunteer efforts in the world for ocean preservation. The Shore It Up! International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) Zambales last September 21, 2013 proved to be a consistent environmental event that is celebrated every 3rd Saturday of September. In fact, the Philippines is the second largest participating country in the world with 143,946 volunteers in 2012.
Despite the rainy weather, people participated and have spread out to their nearby cleanup sites that have been increased this year. Thus, they were able to see firsthand that there is trash not only in the beaches and coastal areas but also even in their very own locations. These include 4 sites in SBMA, all 17 Barangays of Olongapo City and 11 towns from Zambales, for a total of 47 cleanup sites. An official count is yet to be announced, but to date, there are approximately more than 25,000 volunteers.
"Our objective for the Shore It Up! ICC has always been to unite everyone in cleaning our waterways and inspire people to change their methods of dealing with trash," explained by Jun Avecilla, ICC Area Coordinator, International Vice Commodore of IYFR and President of The Lighthouse Marina Resort.
They achieved their goal in tapping all 17 Barangays of Olongapo and the working group of Zambales for a series of Waste Management Seminars in August and September led by Mr. Bert Guevara, President of Earth Day Network.
Not only were they able to reach out to officials and other concerned citizens, but the whole Saturday was dedicated to educating children and the public for a sequence of environmental activities. MPIF invited 50 Cub Scouts and 50 Girl Scouts ages 8-9 for a Junior Environmental Scouts Seminar after the coastal cleanup. This was followed by Water Bonsai Making by Public Employment Service Office (PESO) of Zambales to the Senior Scouts of Olongapo City Regional High School Students and a Contreras Sculptures & Casa San Miguel Art Workshop with Special Program of the Arts (SPA) students from several Olongapo City High Schools. This is one way to instill values in the minds of our youth.
Every additional person making a change adds up to something meaningful. Through the data collected from Ocean Conservancy's annual cleanup, innovations to develop materials, manufacturing processes and products that will interrupt the cycle of pollution has been made.
This event is in cooperation with: City of Olongapo, Province of Zambales, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, Vice Governor's Office, Public Affairs Office of Olongapo City, Earth Day Network, Rotary Club of Cubao West, Rotary Club of Subic Bay, Rotary Club Cluster 4C, Rotaract of Subic Bay Freeport, Lions Club 301-DI, PLDT Smart Foundation, One Meralco Foundation, SPI Global, Metro Pacific Tollways, Maynilad, People Management Association of the Philippines, SBFCC, JCI Olongapo, Ayala Malls Harbor Point, Philippine Coast Guard, PACTEC Inc, Clawdaddy's, Aqua Pik, Abenson and Printing Excellence.
Media Partners: TV 5, Philippine Star, SubicTimes.com, SubicUpdater.com, Subic.com, Get Wet Asia, C! Calibre & K-Lite 96.7fm.
#lmrgogreen #icczambales #iccsubictimeslmr
Last September 11, Mr. Bert Guevara once again led another successful Waste Management Works attended by several members of the Local Government of Zambales, Olongapo, and Subic Bay Freeport. This activity was supported by Vice Governor Ramon Lacbain, Mayor Rolen Paulino and SBMA Chairman Roberto Garcia.
One of the solutions to our trash problems is through managing our the way we handle our trash. Please visit our Waste Management Section of our website for more information.
Resolution Meeting in Olongapo
The City of Olongapo has been very supportive with the International Clean Up campaign. Last September 9, 2013, members of the local government came together at the City Council Session Hall to discuss matters concerning the proposed legislation declaring every 3rd Saturday of September as International Coastal Cleanup Day.
This city is indeed taking action in the movement of change. Congratulations City of Olongapo!

Dedicated in creating a wave of change to help preserve our environment

Well! I got ordained on Monday night at the Elim National Conference in Minehead. It was a pretty special occasion really, with the National Leadership Team of Elim laying hands on the 26 ordinands and praying for us. Jeff Lucas then delivered a great message to the 3,000 or so people attending the conference.
My wife Gill and my parents travelled across to Minehead from Cardiff for the ordination, the stewards in the venue were all from City Temple in Cardiff, the rest of the leadership team from the church were all present, as was Gary Smith my long-time colleague at Ignite. The suit and tie were required dress for the occasion but didn't stay on for the rest of the week.
A little earlier in the day I needed to be assisted by Chris Cartwright- good friend and senior pastor at City Temple. I'd locked myself in the bathroom and the lock was jammed, with me wearing only a towel. After much struggling with the lock we seemed to have no alternative but for Chris to hand me some clothes through the window and for me to climb out. He tried one final time to open the lock and it worked. The assembled gathering in the evening were amused to hear me thanking Chris for rescuing me- not spiritually but from the toilet!

|ACQUISITION OF ROOSEVELT HOTEL Another major step during the year was the acquisition, through a wholly owned subsidiary, of the leasehold estate comprising the Roosevelt Hotel, New York. This property was being operated by Hilton Hotels Corporation under a management contract but was owned by a separate corporation, Roosevelt Hotel, Inc. In May, an agreement was entered into to purchase the assets and assume the liabilities of Roosevelt Hotel, Inc. A few minority stockholders of Roosevelt objected to the transaction and instituted a suit which was dismissed on our motion. In order to avoid the expense and delay of protracted litigation, a settlement was then negotiated under which an offer was made to the Roosevelt Hotel stockholders either to purchase their stock for $21.15 per share or to exchange one and one-half shares of Hilton common for each share of Roosevelt. Hilton further agreed to repurchase any of its own common stock issued in connection with this exchange at $16.66 per share for a limited period. This offer was accepted by the holders of more than 95% of the outstanding stock of Roosevelt Hotel, Inc. and, on December 31, 1952, our subsidiary, Hotel Roosevelt Corporation, acquired all of the assets of Roosevelt Hotel, Inc., subject to its liabilities. Thereby the Roosevelt Hotel was integrated into the Corporation and its earnings also will inure to the benefit of our stockholders. SALE OF LUBBOCK HILTON AND DAYTON BILTMORE In May, the Hilton Hotel in Lubbock, Texas, was sold for $1,450,000. Under the terms of the sale, Hilton received $300,000 in cash and took back an installment note of $1,150,000 secured by a mortgage upon the hotel and equipment. This sale resulted in a profit of $792,602, subject to income taxes at the capital gains rate.
