We're a role-play server based on the Webtoon "unOrdinary" and we're looking for active roleplayers who are interested in participating in chain-roleplays, meaning roleplays that are done chapters to chapters, we want those who will stay and be a part of the community, helping us develop the storyline. We want to make a place where OCs has a story of their own while also integrating themselves into the main story, taking on important roles and developing their character along the way. We use Discord as our platform of communication. Our roleplay takes place on our own site: https://rpcafe.mn.co. So if you're interested in being part of a complex storyline/roleplay, join us and make a story for your OC!
UnOrdinary speaks of the unfairness of the world. In the world where everything is ranked by power where the strong rule over the weak. A man who strongly felt that this world needed to change wrote a book called 'Unordinary', A story of a man with a powerful ability born into a world of cripples. The man only used his power for others, helping the weak, saving lives and spreading wealth. He ultimately dies but no-one was sad for he had brought charity, allowing the world to become peaceful. Many high-tiers who read Unordinary have been inspired by the book's message to turn to vigilantism, becoming heroes who defended the weak. The Heroes are targeted by a mysterious organization named 'EMBER'. The 'EMBER' began wiping out the 'heroes', murdering them one by one to silence their rebellion, not only that Unordinary was branded by the Authorities as controversial and highly illegal contraband due to the society-challenging ideas it presents: That high-tiers should use their abilities to help others, that even low-tiers have something valuable to offer, and that people from both ends of the ability spectrum should be able to co-exist as equals rather than master and servants. There are speculations that the government may have some parts in the strange deaths of the high-tiers, pulling the strings behind EMBER, however there have yet to be any evidence of their involvement. Note that from this point you will be reading the 'future plotline', the current role play has yet to reach this state. OLD STORYLINE The Old "World" (RP) revolves around a group of high school students who discovered unOrdinary through a friend whose father happened to be the author of this very book. And like many, the book changed their ideals of the world. They began acting strangely. Some no longer cared about the world's system. Then one day, one of the student mysteriously disappeared only to turn up as a mere corpse in front of their door step. Nobody knew what had happened to the him, until one of them discovered files in the author's office which had links to EMBER. They began their researches regarding the organization and little did they know, they were getting themselves even deeper into this mess. One by one, the students began to disappear only to share the same fate as the first rebel. In order to survive, they fought against EMBER and have lost their lives with only a few survivors. Those who did created two fractions, known as: Order and Chaos. A knowledge known only by a few. FUTURE STORYLINE The "World" (RP) revolves around two groups of rebels who have joined forces with one objective in mind, to change the current society into one in which low and high tiers can co-exist. These two groups are called: Order and Chaos. These organizations were formed by those who were inspired by an old story about a group of students who fought against EMBER but have sadly lost their lives to evil. Their lives may have been blown out but not their will. Many carry on their flames and have continue to fight against EMBER.

Turkey Now! – MO & Candan Erçetin
Opening Festival

Tom Cohen, dirigent
Candan Erçetin, zang
As the opener of this new edition of Turkey Now! Turkish singer Candan Erçetin will perform a concert of music from Turkey, especially Turkish music influenced by the Balkans. Candan sings pop, folk and traditional songs, in Turkish, Greek and French and (himself from a family with North Macedonian and Albanian ancestry) in Macedonian. In 1986 she represented Turkey in the Eurovision Song Contest with the group Klips ve Onlar. Her first album Hazirim (I'm ready), with Thracian and Macedonian songs, hit number one on its release in 1995 and featured songs by the likes of Sezen Aksu, Yusuf Tümley, and mostly Gökhan Kirdar. In the future she would also compose more and more songs herself, but then partly on texts borrowed from great poets such as Neyzen Tevfik and the Persian freethinker Omar Khayyam.
Successes and awards have accumulated over the years, including two awards from the French channel MCM for best video clip. After a career spanning more than 25 years, she can call herself one of the best interpreters of songs from the Balkans, both in traditional and modern arrangements. The tireless Erçetin has worked with the well-known big names of Turkish music, as well as with new generations of Turkish musicians, such as rapper Ceza and rocker Teoman. This time she will perform with the Metropole Orkest conducted by Tom Cohen and add her name to the list of legendary artists who have worked with this orchestra.

Are you struggling to get pregnant? Do you have PCOS? Don't worry–it IS possible to get pregnant with PCOS. In fact, I Got Pregnant on My First Try with PCOS. How did I do it? And how can you, too, get pregnant even if you have PCOS? Take a look at this step-by-step guide to what got me here.
Honestly, I never imagined I would be writing this post.
Since the day I found out I had PCOS four years ago, I've been terrified that I was infertile. I've watched countless friends desperate to be mothers, worthy and deserving of and more than ready for a baby, struggle to get pregnant.
I know how heartbreaking it can be.
And I knew that I was predisposed to have trouble thanks to my PCOS.
But four years ago, I also knew that I wanted to heal my body. And I wanted to do it naturally, to truly heal the root cause, to address the underlying issues, and not just slap a band-aid on my symptoms.
I knew that wouldn't work long-term, and I knew that if I ever wanted to get pregnant, I'd need to start getting my body ready now.
Was I ready to start a family then? Hell no. I was 26 years old. Matt and I weren't even married yet. I was nowhere near ready to be a mom.
But I knew one day I would be, and I wanted to be ready, financially, emotionally, and physically.
I had to get my PCOS in check.
Well, that day came right before Christmas of 2017. Matt and I had been waffling for over a year on whether or not we were ready to start trying and we finally decided that it was time.
So I checked my Glow app to see where I was in my cycle, and I started taking ovulation tests to confirm. Low and behold, a few days later I was ovulating.
I'll spare you the graphic details of what came next, but by January 11th, I had a positive pregnancy test in my hands.
I couldn't believe it. It was our first month of "trying" and I was already pregnant.
I had PCOS and I got pregnant on the first try!
How did I do it? And how can you, too, get pregnant even if you have PCOS? Take a look at this step-by-step guide to what got me here.
Ok, I have to provide this disclaimer before we get started here: first, I share this information not to brag or rub my fertility in anyone's face. Rather, my goal is to show you that it's possible to get pregnant with PCOS, that PCOS doesn't have to take your fertility, and that natural conception CAN happen even if you have PCOS.
Secondly, this is what worked for me. Every woman, every body, everyone's experience is going to be different. Different approaches work for different people, and so I hope these tips will help guide, inform and inspire you. But you must take what resonates with you, what works best for you and do that.
Get off hormonal birth control. Ok this one seems super obvious, I know. You can't get pregnant while you're on birth control… duh! But what I really mean here is to get off hormonal birth control long before you're ready to get pregnant. I took my last "pill" in March of 2015 and it took over a year for my cycles to regulate, regular ovulation to occur and my body to be in a place where it was even possible to get pregnant. Not only can take some time for your body to regulate, but if you wait to get off the pill until you're fully ready to have a baby, you'll have less time available to heal your body than if you had discovered these issues earlier (when you weren't masking what your hormones were doing with the Pill). It's stressful enough working to heal your body without the added pressure of making of baby. Learn more about this here.
Start following a real-food-based, anti-inflammatory diet. Food is the #1 way to heal your body naturally. Food is medicine. The right foods will nourish your body, balance your hormones and blood sugar, helping you lose weight, boost fertility and feel great. Likewise, the wrong foods can throw your hormones out of whack and cause your PCOS to flare up with all kinds of frustrating symptoms, like acne, anxiety, weight gain, PMS, and worse, infertility. Get the scoop on the best and worst foods for PCOS here.
Track your cycle. Once you're off all hormonal contraception and you can see what your cycle is really doing, it's time to start tracking. You'll want to know how long your cycles are, if and when you're ovulating and where your fertile window falls, and how regular your periods are in the first place. Here are my favorite tracking tools for boosting fertility.
Confirm ovulation with test strips. While apps and thermometers and special tracking tools are immensely helpful when trying to get pregnant, the only way to be 100% sure that you've ovulating (and thus, that it's a good time to try to conceive) is with ovulation urine test strips. Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Tests were my favorite–it's the only ovulation test that detects the rise in two fertility hormones before ovulation–estrogen and luteinizing hormone (LH)–with easy to understand digital smiley face results on the reader. With this information, you can try to conceive on your 4 most fertile days to maximize your chances of getting pregnant, naturally! Clearblue is the easiest ovulation test I've found to understand.
Run a complete hormone panel blood test every 3-6 months. I've talked before about how important it is to see where your hormone levels fall at different phases throughout your cycle–without that knowledge, it will be really hard to target your specific imbalances with supplements, lifestyle and holistic remedies, food, etc. My naturopathic doctor runs a complete hormone panel (this includes everything from estrogen and progesterone to thyroid, testosterone, DHEA, etc.) a few times a year. While you can have your doctor run these panels, sometimes more conventional doctors are infuriatingly averse. I don't understand their hesitation, but regardless, you still have options. My favorite: an at-home health test from EverlyWell. Their Women's Health and Fertility Test measures 11 hormones that impact your menstruation, fertility, thyroid and weight. The instructions are simple, the blood test is a nearly pain-free prick of the finger (the saliva test just involves spitting into a test tube), and the results arrive in your inbox quickly in an easy to understand format, making treatment easier! Even better: you can test your hormones throughout the day AND at different points throughout your cycle, rather than just getting one teeny snapshot of what your hormones were doing at that exact moment in time. Since our hormones fluctuate all the time, this is really valuable to get a clear picture of what's really going on. If you're not sure how to interpret your results, Dr. Gottfried has an amazing hormone lab resource for optimal reference ranges.
Treat underlying hormonal imbalances with natural supplements. Not the birth control pill. Not Metformin. Not Clomid. At least, don't start there. Those medications will not heal the root cause and they come with a slew of side effects. Instead, rely on natural supplements to treat the underlying issues. Vitex, Evening Primrose Oil, DIM, Inositol and Maca are some of my favorite supplements for women with PCOS. Learn more about the best supplements for PCOS here.
Ensure your thyroid is functioning optimally. This is crucial–so many women have undiagnosed hypothyroidism, which can contribute to infertility. If you have irregular periods, low libido, low body temperature, imbalanced thyroid hormone levels, anxiety/depression, and/or you've already struggled to get pregnant, your thyroid could be to blame. But don't worry, treating hypothyroidism naturally is not only possible, it's actually pretty easy! Read our complete guide to natural thyroid treatments here.
Detox your life. Cleaning up your diet isn't the only way to balance your hormones. In fact, the natural products I used (and the toxic ones I tossed) made a huge impact on my hormones and thus my fertility. Why? Did you know that nearly all of these products contain endocrine disruptors, fake estrogens and other harmful chemicals that mimic estrogen in the body, causing hormonal imbalances and infertility? It's sad and scary, but true! So make the switch to non-toxic personal care, cleaning products, and cosmetics ASAP! To help you get started, check out these DIY beauty and cleaning products, this guide to the 10 most toxic skincare ingredients, the best online natural beauty stores, and the 20 Best Natural Beauty Products on Amazon. Remember, the goal is simply to reduce your toxic load. You don't have to be perfect, but by limiting processed foods and toxic and harmful chemicals, you will put yourself on the fast track to your most fertile self.
Practice plenty of self-care. Cortisol (the stress hormone produced by our adrenal glands) affects every single one of your hormones, and your fertility depends on balanced hormones and nurtured adrenals. So how do you do this? With simple self-care strategies. Some of my favorite self-care techniques include meditation, yoga, Epsom salt bath soaks, massage, essential oils, and reading (particularly in the sun for 15 minutes a day to boost Vitamin D levels). It's also helpful to consume less caffeine and alcohol. I have since switched to decaf coffee (with the occasional green tea or matcha latte), and I try to limit alcohol to 1-2 drinks per day, often skipping drinking altogether.
Reverse any insulin resistance or imbalanced blood sugar. Insulin resistance is another issue many women with PCOS struggle with. What does this mean? Essentially, your blood sugar (fasting glucose and insulin) levels are way too high, putting you at a very high risk for developing Type 2 diabetes and increasing your risk of infertility. Cutting out refined carbs and sugar, focusing on healthy fats, fiber and protein, eating at regular intervals (especially first thing in the morning), and a couple of supplements (namely Ovasitol) help bring fasting insulin levels down. I personally was able to lower mine from 6.3 to a healthy 2.9. And my fasting glucose is now an ideal 88. While many doctors will prescribe Metformin to treat this kind of PCOS, there are all kinds of scary and dangerous side effects that come with the prescription medication, so I prefer to go the natural route first. You can learn more about insulin resistance here.
Heal your gut. Our digestive system is at the heart of our overall health and wellbeing. In fact, the gastrointestinal (GI) tract/digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder, plus a combination of nerves, hormones, bacteria, and blood –is so important, not just for breaking down our food into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth, and cell repair, but also for our nervous, immune and endocrine system. The latter being the glands that produce hormones that regulate sexual function and reproduction. So if you suffer from diarrhea, gas, bloating, constipation, abdominal pain and/or you've been diagnosed with IBS, IBD, Leaky Gut, Crohn's, Colitis, Celiac or Diverticulitis, your fertility is likely affected. Heal your gut, boost your fertility. Good news: there are five main ways you can heal your gut and improve digestion naturally. Learn how here.
As you can see, getting pregnant with PCOS isn't exactly easy. And if your hormones are really out of whack, like mine were, it can take many months to get everything back where it should be.
So be patient, don't give up, natural healing is possible and it is so WORTH it.
And, if you're not ready to have a family yet, but you know you want one someday, I recommend starting now.
I can't imagine if I had waited to get off the Pill until I was ready to have a baby. It took me over a year to get my hormones balanced, and nearly two to get my entire body functioning optimally.
It would have been devastating if, on top of all of that, I was struggling with fertility.
I cannot stress enough how happy I am that I reversed my PCOS long before I was ready to have a baby.
Because now, thanks to everything I've done for my body over the past four years, I'm pregnant. And I was able to get pregnant with PCOS on the first try!!
And instead of struggle and heartbreak and worry, I was able to feel nothing but joy.
I hope that for you, too! And I know you can do it.
Don't let any doctor, friend or family member tell you that if you have PCOS, you're infertile.
If I can, you can. Here's to you, your resilience, your strength, your discipline, your health and your fertility. You got this!
P.S. Because of the heartbreak and loss many women have experienced I want to take another moment to acknowledge them.
Many women have lost children, have lost their mothers, or have struggled to get pregnant. If you are one them, please know that I feel indescribable empathy for you. I hear you, I see you, I know you, truly. I have many close friends and family members who have gone through similar issues, and I, too, have had my own struggles.
This is what's important to me right now and what I feel compelled to do, and I fully realize that it's not for everyone and that some readers may feel hurt, offended, or just plain sad when they hear my story. And for that, I am truly sorry.
That being said, I feel I would be doing a disservice to my audience to never talk about anything pregnancy, motherhood or fertility-related. I want women to feel seen, heard, and supported.
And, to be totally honest, I feel I would be doing a disservice to myself and my family to tamper my excitement. This is a happy and joyous time for us, and while I absolutely want to be sensitive to others, I also want to ride those emotions. Life is hard and painful and a freaking roller coaster, so any chance we have to be truly happy, we should take, IMHO. Who knows how long it will last, ya know?
Ok, that's my schpeal. Thank you for listening, for understanding, for your support and for just being here. If you ever want to talk personally, please feel free to email me directly.

Were you put on progesterone after finding out you were pregnant?
No, my progesterone levels were healthy when I got pregnant so there was no need.
I used fertilemd along with inositol powder and got pregnant the first month of using both times!! As someone who has PCOS and struggled with infertility, this was a dream come true!
Wow! Congrats, that's amazing! Thanks for sharing!!
Hello! Thanks for the article. Did you stop taking the Insitol once you became pregnant? If so, how did you wean off? Did you also use Vitex?
I completely agree with what you have written. As someone with PCOS myself I too got pregnant pretty soon. It took a few months of trying but being disciplined with your body really made a difference. In my case I kept my weight in check, my sugar intake in check and kept my body active and it made a huge difference.
Hi, This is really a great share with such a useful knowledge. Putting your mind at ease and just focusing on stability indeed can help out the person to relax throughout and get fertilized. I completely agree with all the points you mentioned. Really a well-written post.
Thanks so much Dr. Quinn–really appreciate your supportive feedback!
Thank you for sharing. It is always nice to hear the success stories and gives me more hope.
I only wish I would've known about my PCOS before we started trying to conceive. Other than infertility, I've had no symptoms. Thanks for sharing.
Ooh, sorry to hear that Alisa, but I'm glad you have knowledge now so you can hopefully move towards better health + fertility. Wishing you the best!
Thank you for sharing this information that will help so many women, and – perhaps even more importantly – celebrating your JOY and not dampening your excitement! I so love and appreciate your empathy and compassion for others, and 100% agree that you'd be doing yourself and others a disservice by keeping this all to yourself. Cheers to you, Kate!


25 years later, I'm ever so grateful for those who never lost the nerve to speak up to dour old men. You are heroes all.
Back in the fifth grade, close to a quarter-century ago, my class learned about the Responsibility of Parenthood by carting around egg babies for a couple of weeks.
The numbers declined slowly but steadily. Eggs were dropped, or sat upon, or mislaid. There were some particularly dramatic losses on the playground, and a few (failed) attempts to fool the teacher with unsanctioned replacements.
In short, a bunch of ten-year-old kids did pretty much what you'd expect them to do.
I'd been wondering, recently, how accurate my memory was of that time; if I'd actually taken the exercise as super, super seriously as I remembered. Had I really hand-sewn outfits? And converted an old toolbox into a plush, fully decorated mobile nursery? And started up a mini cloth diaper laundry operation at my desk?
Then I found these--still dusted with baby powder--and doubted no more.


Present state: The station site is now occupied by Robson & Cowan agricultural merchants who have erected a number of buildings in the goods yard. The platform is largely intact although it has been infilled at the west end. The station building and station house are in good condition and are now a private residence. A small woodenbuilding stands at the west end of the station. This is original and was, perhaps, the lamp room. There is a small replica Scotsgap 'totem' sign fixed to it.
Notes: The station opened as Scots Gap on 23rd July 1862 being renamed Scotsgap in October 1903. The station was poorly equipped as a junction with no branch bays and a single platform on the down side. The station building was solidly built of local stone with a stone signal box at the east end. The station had two parallel loops with two sidings on the north side. There were three short spurs, one serving a locomotive turntable. The outermost siding served a goods platform and cattle dock and a goods warehouse.
The map below shows the Rothbury branch bearing away some distance from the station. The junction was actually in the station and the two lines (the Wansbeck and the Rothbury) ran as two separate lines side by side to the point where the Rothbury branch turned away to the north.
The station closed to passengers on15th September 1952 and to goods on 3rd October 1966.
Although the branch was of some benefit to the local community it was a disappointment to the promoters failing to bring expected profits and in July 1872 the North British Railway absorbed the line. The NBR made a number of improvements. Rothley Station was renamed Longwitton and opened to the public in April 1875 and the terminus at Rothbury was substantially improved. A number of sidings and branches were build to serve line side industries and collieries.
13th September. The branch remained open for freight with occasional passenger excursions. The final steam hauled enthusiasts special visited Rothbury on 9th November 1963 and the freight service was withdrawn two days later. The very last passenger train was a private diesel working in July 1964 carrying members of the North Eastern Region's Chief Civil Engineering staff on their annual office outing. The track was lifted later that year.

New study raised debate: Does Eggs good or bad for you?
james henry March 19, 2019 opinions
New study on Eggs raised debates.
The debate over whether eggs are good for you is age-old: while a good source of protein, they also contain potentially harmful cholesterol.
Now, a new study published on Friday by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has weighed in.
After analysing 30 000 Americans from six separate studies, researchers concluded that eating an extra half-egg a day increased the risk of cardiovascular disease (6%) and premature death (8%) over the study period.
That is relatively little, especially given that a half-egg daily is double what the average American eats.
Separately, the study found an additional 300 milligrams of dietary cholesterol per day increases the risk of heart disease by 17% and premature death by 18%. But 300mg is twice the average daily amount eaten by Americans. A large egg contains about 186mg of cholesterol.
The new data suggest that eating eggs increases the risk of heart attack or stroke, although the study does not establish a causal link. Still, it offers enough data to "make a strong statement that eggs and overall dietary cholesterol intake remain important in affecting the risk of (cardiovascular disease) and more so the risk of all-cause mortality," physician Robert Eckel, of the University of Colorado, wrote in an editorial in JAMA.
It's all a balancing act
But as Tom Sanders, a professor of dietetics at King's College London, points out, these results differ from a large US study published in 1999 that found no effect — like a 2013 analysis of three million adults published in the British medical journal BMJ.
A recent Chinese study even concluded cholesterol decreased the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Sanders thinks the new results are only relevant for the United States, where the average person eats more eggs and meat than in Europe.
"Eggs in moderation — around 3 to 4 per week — is fine, and that is what current UK dietary guidelines say," Sanders said.
In France, national nutrition guidelines refute the idea that you should not eat more than two eggs a week: "You can eat them regularly."
And dietitian Victoria Taylor, of the British Heart Foundation, insists that the way you eat the egg and with what is so important. "Eating healthily is all about balance. If you're eating too much of one thing it leaves less room in the diet for other foods that may have more health benefit.
"Eggs are a nutritious food and, while this study focuses on the amount we're eating, it's just as important to pay attention to how the eggs are cooked and to the trimmings that come with them. For example, poached eggs on whole-grain toast is a much healthier meal than a traditional fry up."
New study raised debate: Does Eggs good or bad for you? Reviewed by james henry on March 19, 2019 Rating: 5

Memory Chips Signal Sector Getting Set For Recovery
Narrower Losses at Hynix, Samsung Offer Signs of Bottom
Evan Ramstad
Updated April 27, 2009 12:01 am ET
Memory chips appear to have hit the bottom of their business cycle, an important signal for the broader semiconductor industry, which has been suffering through its worst slump to date.
Memory chips account for just 14% of the $260 billion global semiconductor industry. But they are a leading indicator of industry performance because of their commodity-like status as widely used products that are hard to differentiate. The memory downturn that began in early 2007 foreshadowed last year's broader industry troubles, which became worse after the financial-industry crisis led to a global downturn.
The two biggest makers of memory chips, Samsung Electronics Co. and Hynix Corp., both of South Korea, on Friday announced smaller chip-related losses for the first quarter than they experienced a year earlier.
"Looking at the first-quarter situation, I have to believe the memory market hit the bottom," said Nam Hyung Kim, a memory-chip market analyst at iSuppli Corp. in El Segundo, Calif. "From now, it's the recovery stage. But the problem is the manufacturers have a long way to recover."
Earlier this month, expectation-beating quarterly results from leaders of other chip segments, such as Intel Corp. INTC 0.45% in microprocessors and Texas Instruments Inc. TXN -1.26% in digital signal processors, also raised hopes that the industry's downturn may be reaching a turning point.
Makers of memory chips experienced their longest upturn ever from 2002 to 2007 as computing functions spread into cellphones and NAND flash memory exploded in use for storage cards, digital music players and other gadgets. In 2004, Samsung's operating profit margin for chips was 41%, a record for the company.
Big profits spurred Samsung and others to invest heavily in new factories for memory chips, creating excess capacity that began to sharply erode prices and profits in early 2007. The surge in production came as demand growth slowed for personal computers and other digital gadgets that use memory chips. Early last year, small makers of memory chips tumbled into the red and, by year end, industry leader Samsung was also unprofitable.
Many manufacturers cut back production in response and are now operating well below their capacity. Even so, Mr. Kim estimated that all of Taiwan's chip makers, which account for about 25% of global DRAM production, could stop work and the industry would still be oversupplied.
One positive signal: Spot-market prices for memory chips have risen sharply over the past six weeks. On Friday, the average spot price of the mainstream one-gigabit DRAM chip was $1.21, up 61% from its low of 75 cents on March 11, according to DRAMeXchange.
Still, executives remain cautious as higher prices will likely trigger makers to restart some idled capacity, creating a burst of supply that would damp prices and profits again.
"We are not seeing any clear indication of demand improvement," Cho Nam-seong, a vice president of Samsung's chip business, told analysts on Friday.
Memory-chip makers sharply cut capital spending to cope. Analysts estimate DRAM-related spending will plunge to about $4 billion this year from $11 billion last year and $22 billion in 2007, while spending on NAND will be about $3 billion compared with $8 billion in 2008 and $11 billion in 2007.
Hynix executives said Friday they will delay ordering new equipment until at least June. Samsung executives said they still haven't decided how much to spend this year.
For the first quarter, Hynix reported a net loss of 1.18 trillion won ($881 million), narrower than its loss of 1.69 trillion won in the fourth quarter but far wider than its loss of 675 billion won in the first quarter of last year.
Samsung, in its report Friday, said it saw a slight narrowing in the operating loss of its chip business to 670 billion won in the first quarter from 690 billion won in the fourth quarter, though the margin of its loss widened on lower revenue. The business had 200 billion won in operating profit in the first quarter of 2008.
Samsung's overall net profit was 620 billion won, down 72% from a year earlier. Its consumer-electronics division produced a sharp jump in operating profit while the cellphone business, its largest by revenue, posted a marginal improvement.

Trump peddles right-wing 'prayer rug' conspiracy
AirTV is essential for Sling TV subscribers 6 Months Ago

Trump is tweeting email forwards now.
In an apparent attempt to put pressure on Democrats to approve funding for his border wall, amid mounting pressure of the ongoing government shutdown, President Donald Trump pushed a claim that Muslim "prayer mats" had been found at the U.S.-Mexico border.
In a tweet published on Friday morning from his personal account, Trump quoted an article from right-wing newspaper the Washington Examiner in an apparent bid to harness Islamophobia to secure the $5.9 billion he wants to deliver his campaign promise of a border wall.
Border rancher: "We've found prayer rugs out here. It's unreal." Washington Examiner People coming across the Southern Border from many countries, some of which would be a big surprise.
The Washington Examiner article, which is based entirely on the testimony of an anonymous Arizona rancher, includes no evidence to substantiate that this is the case.
The rancher, who also said Czechoslovakians were crossing the border, reportedly withheld her identity for "fear of retaliation" by Mexican cartels.
Interestingly, however, the story is grounded in a recurring conspiracy theory narrative peddled by the far right. In 2014, the same story was pushed by right-wing publication Breitbart. The alleged "prayer rug" turned out to be an Adidas shirt.
According to the Daily Beast, the conspiracy stretches as far back as 2005 when conservatives tried to claim that Islamic terrorists were trying to infiltrate the country. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) even took to the floor in Congress at the time to push the claims that prayer mats and Arabic texts had been recovered from the border, providing no evidence.
Subsequent investigations into the matter by other outlets, speaking to Border Patrol officers, failed to turn up evidence of prayer mats being found.
It seems that, when it suits his needs, the president is happy to accept without question the credibility of stories which include unsubstantiated claims by unnamed sources.

Eurovision Choir 2019 Preview: The Ten Nations Competing for Glory in Partille, Sweden
By James Maude

[AdSense-B]
The below editorial features the opinions and views of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of #escYOUnited as a whole, Eurovision or the EBU.
Last week ESC United published a basic primer of the 2nd Eurovision Choir contest to be held this Saturday, August 3, 2019, at the Partille Arena in Gothenburg, Sweden. We went over some basic rules, the running order, the presenters, the judges, and some other odds and ends, and today we'll do a brief overview of the ten participating choirs at Eurovision Choir 2019.
This list will be ordered, as is standard practice in Eurovision blog circles, by the order in which the choirs were drawn to perform in the first round (one four minute song or multiple songs totaling four minutes).
It is Sweden's first tilt at Eurovision Choir, and they bring the internally selected and internationally renowned Zero8 chorus from Stockholm.
They bill themselves as having started as a barbershop group and expanded upon that format by incorporating influences they heard on their travels to competitions and events in Russia, Georgia, Italy, and Switzerland. Zero8 have one album, the classical "Mes Très Chers Frères," released in 2017 to commemorate their tenth year as a group.
Zero8 will be conducted by Rasmus Krigström, the group's founder and member of the 2012 World Championship Barbershop quartet The Ringmasters.
Based on Zero8's evolution over the past decade, expect their entries (I say entries as Zero8 have to be favorites to make it to the second round) to be more along the lines of "Goin' Home" than their barbershop origins.
We have a prior Eurovision entrant making a comeback! Remember Witloof Bay, the a capella group with the beatboxer that narrowly (by one point) failed to make the Grand Final at Eurovision 2011 for Belgium? Their male lead vocalist Nicholas Dorian is conducting Belgium's Almakalia at Eurovision Choir 2019.
Dorian, who also teaches music and vocals at IMEP School of Music and Pedagogy in Namur, was tasked to put together Almakalia specially for the Eurovision Choir 2019 contest. Dorian was also a vocal coach for Belgium's Eurovision Choir 2017 entrant Les Pastoureaux. This time Dorian takes the lead and selected 22 IMEP students and selected the works for Almakalia.
Though their full name – Babite Municipality Mixed Choir Maska – brings to mind a bunch of binmen leading a sing-along at the local working mens' club, Koris Maska is one of the more innovative mixed choirs in Europe, blending Latvia's classical traditions with some frankly oddball outside influences in instrumentation and vocal techniques. Check out this prize winning effort from 2017.
They will be conducted by Koris Maska's artistic director Jānis Ozols, who is also well-known to Latvians as a presenter of arts and culture television shows and for his appearances and commentary on Latvian food shows. He is also the head conductor of Jurmala's city choir. Koris Maska have been around since 2000, and have two records to their credit: "7 Stories of the Gospel of Thomas" and "Winter," composed by choirmaster Laura Jēkabsone, with instrumentals by famed Latvian pianist Aurēlija Šimkus and guitar virtuoso Gints Smukais, who you may remember as the finger-tapping acoutic guitarist from Miks Dukur's Supernova 2019 entry "Life."
Germany brings us a bit of jazz and gospel to the Eurovision Choir 2019 and a review of their entrant BonnVoice's history suggests they like to bring positive energy and a touch of modernity to a capella. Their relatively small following (to other competing choirs at least) and non-traditional approach (including some rap) suggest BonnVoice will be underdogs at Eurovision Choir 2019. But they will stand out and have a chance of an upset if conductor Tono Wissing keeps their Eurovision Choir 2019 selection in line with how BonnVoice have entered contests in the past.
Perhaps the most "modern" sounding choir of the ten entrants is Norway's Volve Vokal from Bergen, Norway. An all-female choir formed in 2006 by conductor and professor at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences Gro Espedal, Volve Vokal are known for innovative staging and new techniques, including some almost-screaming techniques and female takes on medieval male choir vocals. Another potential underdog to watch out for, Volve Vokal could take the crown if the three judges are looking to make a statement about the potential of what choral singing can be in the modern era.
Volve Vokal also have one EP, "Eingong," to their credit. They may run the risk of being a divisive entry, but you can't fault them for being ambitious and pushing the envelope.
Denmark's Vocal Line is one of the more experienced choirs at Eurovision Choir 2019, having shared stages with Bobby McFerrin ("Don't Worry Be Happy") and the Rolling Stones ("You Can't Get What You Want" being the highlight of that concert at the Roskilde Festival in 2014, and if you can tolerate cellphone footage, you can check out their performance on YouTube).
Vocal Line, founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 1991, and conducted by Jens Johansen, is probably the most "accessible" to Eurovision audiences due to their bridging of the Nordic classical and contemporary pop, particularly to those who may think Norway's Volve Vokal is "out there." That should not be taken as a dismissal of the group's sound – Vocal Line have decades of experience and will surely be among the favorites for the crown.
This is the nation that has garnered the most press, given that it is Scotland's debut in a Eurovision competition (with speculation that Junior Eurovision 2020 will be next for England's rowdy Northern neighbors) and the conductor and woman responsible for the assemblage of talent and selection of music is well known.
Gaelic singer, journalist, trained ballet dancer, and BBC Alba weather presenter Joy Dunlop doesn't need much of an introduction, and BBC Alba signaled to Europe that they mean business in their debut by roping in Dunlop to gather 45 Gaelic folk singers from all over Scotland for a choir named Alba (Gaelic for Scotland). The brief interview below with Dunlop from 2013 should give a few clues as to what to expect from Alba – songs steeped in Gaelic tradition, but made relevant for modernity and getting the feeling across even if viewers won't understand the lyrics. Dunlop is literally a Gaelic ambassador as Gaelic development officer for An Comunn Gaidhealach, and you can expect her to be one in Partille, too, as we know one of Alba's songs in the first round is well-known Gaelic song "Innis dhomhsa cà il thu cadal."
The choice of Dunlop and how they're assembling the choir is also shrewd marketing, as Google results for this year's competition are dominated by Scotland and several local newspapers doing reporting on the singers selected from their village or island to join Dunlop in Partille.
Dunlop would actually be an inspired pick for the United Kingdom at Eurovision 2020, but since she's awesome and is a wonderful ambassador for a uniquely British brand of folk music, I doubt the patronizing Southerners at BBC HQ who either aren't willing or aren't able to present a brand of British the rest of Europe could get behind would promote her or a performer like her for the main event.
Slovenia are going in a different direction after their debut win in 2017 – they are going with a more jazz-influenced outfit in Jazzva. As they say on their website, "Jazz has entered the world of vocal music more than a decade ago. In our journey of exploring the human voice, we write new stories, search for harmonies and play with different colors and effects. With each song we perform, we try to find a special relationship and to bring it as experienced and authentic as possible for our listeners. Our repertoire consists of songs from a wide variety of genres; from pop, rock and jazz to arrangements of folk songs and more. We work with great arrangers who more than successfully make sure all of our little crazy ideas come in between the notes."
It is clear from their repertoire that they want to bring fun and playfulness to a capella. Conductor Jasna Žitnik is the one who'll be trying to find a way to balance the crazy ideas with a perfect presentation in Partille.
Cake O'Phonie's director and conductor Antoine Krattinger is also a label owner and sound engineer, and brings influences of pop and rock to his arrangements for this vocal group. Switzerland are making their debut at Eurovision Choir 2019 this year, and this relatively young ensemble are bringing no less than six songs in their first round medley, with five of Switzerland's languages to be performed (French, German, Italian, Romansch, Patois).
This choir's youthful appearance is deceiving – Wales's Ysgol Gerdd Ceredigion will be a favorite for Eurovision Choir 2019, as under the tutelage of Islwyn Evans, almost every class of youth singers to have turned out for this choir have crushed their competition. Ysgol Gerdd Ceredigion beat out Côr Sioe Ieuenctid Môn, Côr Ieuenctid Môn, Côr CF1, and John's Boys to win Côr Cymru to earn the right to represent Wales at the second Eurovision Choir of the Year contest.
Ysgol Gerdd Ceredigion is a music school founded in 1993 by Islwyn Evans in the Teifi Valley, West Wales. This youth group is no stranger to Côr Cymru, having won the award for Best Choir in 2003 and 2009. Ysgol Gerdd Ceredigion have also had success on the international tour circuit, having done performances in the United States, Hungary, Spain, Canada, Germany, and France.

     Abstract

    The **kwargs syntax in a function definition indicates that the
interpreter should collect all keyword arguments that do not correspond
to other named parameters.  However,
Python does not preserved the order in which those collected keyword
arguments were passed to the function.  In some contexts the order
matters.  This PEP introduces a mechanism by which the passed order of
collected keyword arguments will now be preserved.

     Motivation

    Python's **kwargs syntax in function definitions provides a powerful
means of dynamically handling keyword arguments.  In some applications
of the syntax (see

     Use Cases

    ), the semantics applied to the
collected keyword arguments requires that order be preserved.
Unsurprisingly, this is similar to how OrderedDict is related to dict.

    Currently to preserved the order you have to do so manually and
separately from the actual function call.  This involves building an
ordered mapping, whether an OrderedDict or an iterable of 2-tuples,
which is then passed as a single argument to the function.

     [1]

    With the capability described in this PEP, that boilerplate would no
longer be required.

    For comparision, currently:

kwargs = OrderedDict()
kwargs['eggs'] = ...
...
def spam(a, kwargs):
    ...

    and with this proposal:

def spam(a, **kwargs):
    ...

    Nick Coglan, speaking of some of the uses cases, summed it up well

     [2]

    :

These *can* all be done today, but *not* by using keyword arguments.
In my view, the problem to be addressed is that keyword arguments
*look* like they should work for these cases, because they have a
definite order in the source code. The only reason they don't work
is because the interpreter throws that ordering information away.

It's a textbook case of a language feature becoming an attractive
nuisance in some circumstances: the simple and obvious solution for
the above use cases *doesn't actually work* for reasons that aren't
obviously clear if you don't have a firm grasp of Python's admittedly
complicated argument handling.

    This observation is supported by the appearance of this proposal over
the years and the numerous times that people have been confused by the
constructor for OrderedDict.

     [3]

     [4]

     [5]

     Use Cases

    As Nick noted, the current behavior of **kwargs is unintuitive in
cases where one would expect order to matter.  Aside from more specific
cases outlined below, in general "anything else where you want to
control the iteration order

     and

    set field names and values in a single
call will potentially benefit."

     [6]

    That matters in the
case of factories (e.g. __init__()) for ordered types.

      Serialization

     Obviously OrderedDict would benefit (both __init__() and update()) from
ordered kwargs.  However, the benefit also extends to serialization
APIs

      [2]

     :

In the context of serialisation, one key lesson we have learned is
that arbitrary ordering is a problem when you want to minimise
spurious diffs, and sorting isn't a simple solution.

Tools like doctest don't tolerate spurious diffs at all, but are
often amenable to a sorting based answer.

The cases where it would be highly desirable to be able use keyword
arguments to control the order of display of a collection of key
value pairs are ones like:

* printing out key:value pairs in CLI output
* mapping semantic names to column order in a CSV
* serialising attributes and elements in particular orders in XML
* serialising map keys in particular orders in human readable formats
  like JSON and YAML (particularly when they're going to be placed
  under source control)

      Debugging

     In the words of Raymond Hettinger

      [7]

     :

It makes it easier to debug if the arguments show-up in the order
they were created.  AFAICT, no purpose is served by scrambling them.

      Other Use Cases

      Mock objects.

       [8]

      Controlling object presentation.

      Alternate namedtuple() where defaults can be specified.

      Specifying argument priority by order.

     Concerns

      Performance

     As already noted, the idea of ordered keyword arguments has come up on
a number of occasions.  Each time it has been met with the same
response, namely that preserving keyword arg order would have a
sufficiently adverse effect on function call performance that it's not
worth doing.  However, Guido noted the following

      [9]

     :

Making **kwds ordered is still open, but requires careful design and
implementation to avoid slowing down function calls that don't benefit.

     As will be noted below, there are ways to work around this at the
expense of increased complication.  Ultimately the simplest approach is
the one that makes the most sense: pack collected key word arguments
into an OrderedDict.  However, without a C implementation of OrderedDict
there isn't much to discuss.  That should change in Python 3.5.

      [10]

     In some cases the difference of performance between dict and OrderedDict

      may

     be of significance.  For instance: when the collected
kwargs has an extended lifetime outside the originating function or the
number of collected kwargs is massive.  However, the difference in
performance (both CPU and memory) in those cases should not be
significant.  Furthermore, the performance of the C OrderedDict
implementation is essentially identical with dict for the non-mutating
API.  A concrete representation of the difference in performance will be
a part of this proposal before its resolution.

      Other Python Implementations

     Another important issue to consider is that new features must be
cognizant of the multiple Python implementations.  At some point each of
them would be expected to have implemented ordered kwargs.  In this
regard there doesn't seem to be an issue with the idea.

      [11]

     Each of the major Python implementations will be consulted regarding
this proposal before its resolution.

     Specification

    Starting in version 3.5 Python will preserve the order of keyword
arguments as passed to a function.  To accomplish this the collected
kwargs will now be an OrderedDict rather than a dict.

    This will apply only to functions for which the definition uses the
**kwargs syntax for collecting otherwise unspecified keyword
arguments.  Only the order of those keyword arguments will be
preserved.

      Relationship to **-unpacking syntax

     The ** unpacking syntax in function calls has no special connection with
this proposal.  Keyword arguments provided by unpacking will be treated
in exactly the same way as they are now: ones that match defined
parameters are gather there and the remainder will be collected into the
ordered kwargs (just like any other unmatched keyword argument).

     Note that unpacking a mapping with undefined order, such as dict, will
preserve its iteration order like normal.  It's just that the order will
remain undefined.  The OrderedDict into which the unpacked key-value
pairs will then be packed will not be able to provide any alternate
ordering.  This should not be surprising.

     There have been brief discussions of simply passing these mappings
through to the functions kwargs without unpacking and repacking them,
but that is both outside the scope of this proposal and probably a bad
idea regardless.  (There is a reason those discussions were brief.)

      Relationship to inspect.Signature

     Signature objects should need no changes.  The

      kwargs

     parameter of
inspect.BoundArguments (returned by Signature.bind() and
Signature.bind_partial()) will change from a dict to an OrderedDict.

      C-API

     TBD

      Syntax

     No syntax is added or changed by this proposal.

      Backward-Compatibility

     The following will change:

      type(kwargs)

      iteration order of kwargs will now be consistent (except of course in
the case described above)

      as already noted, performance will be marginally different

     None of these should be an issue.  However, each will be carefully
considered while this proposal is under discussion.

     Reference Implementation

    TBD

      Implementation Notes

     TBD

     Alternate Approaches

      Opt-out Decorator

     This is identical to the current proposal with the exception that Python
would also provide a decorator in functools that would cause collected
keyword arguments to be packed into a normal dict instead of an
OrderedDict.

     Prognosis:

     This would only be necessary if performance is determined to be
significantly different in some uncommon cases or that there are other
backward-compatibility concerns that cannot be resolved otherwise.

      Opt-in Decorator

     The status quo would be unchanged.  Instead Python would provide a
decorator in functools that would register or mark the decorated
function as one that should get ordered keyword arguments.  The
performance overhead to check the function at call time would be
marginal.

     Prognosis:

     The only real down-side is in the case of function wrappers factories
(e.g.  functools.partial and many decorators) that aim to perfectly
preserve keyword arguments by using kwargs in the wrapper definition
and kwargs unpacking in the call to the wrapped function.  Each wrapper
would have to be updated separately, though having functools.wraps() do
this automaticallywould help.

      __kworder__

     The order of keyword arguments would be stored separately in a list at
call time.  The list would be bound to __kworder__ in the function
locals.

     Prognosis:

     This likewise complicates the wrapper case.

      Compact dict with faster iteration

     Raymond Hettinger has introduced the idea of a dict implementation that
would result in preserving insertion order on dicts (until the first
deletion).  This would be a perfect fit for kwargs.

      [5]

     Prognosis:

     The idea is still uncertain in both viability and timeframe.

      ***kwargs

     This would add a new form to a function's signature as a mutually
exclusive parallel to **kwargs.  The new syntax, ***kwargs (note
that there are three asterisks), would indicate that kwargs should
preserve the order of keyword arguments.

     Prognosis:

     New syntax is only added to Python under the most

      dire

     circumstances.
With other available solutions, new syntax is not justifiable.
Furthermore, like all opt-in solutions, the new syntax would complicate
the pass-through case.

      annotations

     This is a variation on the decorator approach.  Instead of using a
decorator to mark the function, you would use a function annotation on
**kwargs.

     Prognosis:

     In addition to the pass-through complication, annotations have been
actively discouraged in Python core development.  Use of annotations to
opt-in to order preservation runs the risk of interfering with other
application-level use of annotations.

      dict.__order__

     dict objects would have a new attribute,

      __order__

     that would default
to None and that in the kwargs case the interpreter would use in the
same way as described above for __kworder__.

     Prognosis:

     It would mean zero impact on kwargs performance but the change would be
pretty intrusive (Python uses dict a lot).  Also, for the wrapper case
the interpreter would have to be careful to preserve

      __order__

     .

      KWArgsDict.__order__

     This is the same as the

      dict.__order__

     idea, but kwargs would be an
instance of a new minimal dict subclass that provides the

      __order__

     attribute.  dict would instead be unchanged.

     Prognosis:

     Simply switching to OrderedDict is a less complicated and more intuitive
change.

       Alternately, you could also replace ** in your function definition
with * and then pass in key/value 2-tuples.  This has the advantage
of not requiring the keys to be valid identifier strings. See

Q: androids putExtra I'm having thoughts abut my current app.
I have this TabHost class with two tabs.
Tab1 shows data from a WS in a Listview. Tab2 shows the same data as a diagram in a webview.
Of course, I'd rather not call the same webservice for the same data twice, so I was thinking of doing the WS call already in the TabHost class and then send the data as a JSONArray to both my tabs using putExtra.
Is that possible or simply stupid?
Regards

A: Have a look at this video that talks about making WebService calls and RESTful clients.
As a general principle it is a bad idea to make a WS call from a Activity or the main UI thread. There is a high probability of getting ANR's (Application Not Responding) when the network is slow or if the webService is taking time to respond.
JSON is meant for making WebService calls and usage should be restricted to that layer. While nothing stops you from using JSON for passing data I would consider it as an anti pattern or hack.
Suggested way to do this.

*

*Put your webservice into an IntentService class (This will ensure the UI thread does not block).

*Convert the response into a Parcelable object and send it back to the activity via an intent.

*You can use this Parcelable object in the intent.putExtra to pass it around.
While this sounds like a lot of work it is cleaner and will save you a lot of pain later. Also the documentation on IntentService and Parcelable is a bit terse so you will have to do some searching on StackOverflow to get it right.

Google Launches Android For Work, Here Are All The Details
Ben Reid· February 26, 2015
Google first announced Android for Work at last year's I/O developer gathering, and after a fair amount of delay, the search giant has now considered it ready for prime time. Catch the low-down after the jump.
Google's aim with this project is to enhance workplace productivity and provide a safer working environment for everybody involved. It integrates work profiles, the Android for Work app, Google Play for Work, and a number of other tools in its efforts, and its main attraction is that it's incredibly secure.
Boasting SELinux security, it offers peace of mind in terms of keeping data specific to those authorized to see it, permitting the administrator to add and remove apps to connected devices as is deemed necessary.
The Android for Work app will work with devices running back to Android Ice Cream Sandwich through to KitKat, but to get the most out of Android for Work, which also encompasses the new multi-user support, the latest Android Lollipop 5.0 will be necessary. Essentially, the Android for Work app brings work profiles to devices that don't support them at stock level, adding secure mail, calendar, contacts, documents, and browsing, as well as apps vetted by the IT administrator.
It has certainly taken Google a while to bring this service to market. It's not often that a year goes by between initial announcement and release where the Mountain View company is concerned, but nonetheless, it's here now, and if you want to sign up, you can do so via the Android for Work website: google.com/work/android
Some remain skeptical of placing their faith in the big companies when it comes to security, but having said that, if you're going to rely upon anyone for a secure, work-based environment, it's probably going to be the Big G.
As aforementioned, interested parties can point their browser to the Android for Work website, and with this year's I/O already confirmed and registration commencing from next month, there's scope for a few more improvements to be announced in the very near future.
To close, I think this is a good move from Google, particularly since it has teamed up with a wide range of companies including the likes of Cisco, BlackBerry, Motorola and Samsung, and it'll be intriguing to gauge the response.

The idea for a crab has been in the back of my head while working on alternates of other sets. In those I lacked sufficient hinge parts to make a recognizable crab. That should not be the case with this set which contains a huge amount of various hinge parts. The only problem is that it falls short several times on a single part to make it perfect. In this case the claws are not positioned in the traditional way because I had to use a hinge part that moves perpendicular to the direction I wanted as there are only three of those in the set, instead of the four I needed. Nevertheless it is a minor flaw because otherwise the claws are nicely symmetric. The other sections are the legs. For the outer leg extension I had five instead of six parts but in this case I used another part to mask the flaw. A crab can be a bit battered. The body was quite troublesome to get right. The issues involved creating a solid construct to attach the hinge parts for the legs and getting the right sloped parts where I wanted them and and creating shell on top. I had to use a combination of plates and bricks to fill up the bottom and interior. The set has many inverted slopes but far few regular slopes. It has six large curved corner slopes, but very few to put in between. Fortunately crabs come in many shapes and forms so there is sufficient freedom to make it work out alright. This particular crab has a bit of a tail and a head. This was mainly because I lacked the bricks to make it works out as I wanted and the hinge brick for the claws is so large that I wanted something of a head to mask it to some extent. Both remain fairly small so I think its alright. The weakest section of the crab are the eyes which are fairly flimsily attached to the head. The body is also pretty heavy so that the hinge parts of the legs easily fall flat if you move it around too much but overall it holds up well enough.
Getting any decent color scheme with such a large sized crab (it really is quite big) is impossible but I think I managed to order things fairly consistently so the result looks quite alright. What I am most satisfied about is that the model looks really like a crab. Compared to earlier models I made to look like lobsters and turtles this one fits the bill quite well.


Sorry that we haven't updated this page very well over the past few weeks in Kenya. The team arrived home on 28th July and we stayed on for an extra 11 days.
We were delighted to finally get our Kipepeo family moved into the newly built home on Jengana land (rather than rented premises) on Saturday 5th August after many delays. The home is not completely finished, it still needs work, but the kids have more space, beautiful land around them and we're no longer paying rent. A huge thank you to all who prayed, gave financially and to those in the 2017 team who painted, sanded, varnished, swept and carried to speed up the workmen who were running behind.
Work will continue with as little disruption to the kids as possible.
Just before they moved, on Friday 28th July we welcomed a new little 13 month old baby boy into the family. He is classed as a 'rescue case' so will hopefully be reunited with his mother eventually but for now he has settled in well. He was a little thin and very hungry but a few days with good food, a safe and comfortable place to sleep and good care makes a big impact.
Work in our other projects continues, the feeding programme is still giving almost 300 kids per day a warm porridge breakfast and supporting the Mukuru slum school (Utu Wema) to give lunch to those in most need who can't afford the minimal fee charged to the others.
The team were involved in these projects and much more, over the next few days we'll update you on those….


I had such a wonderful time meeting adorable little Maggie and her great parents! We ran around the yard, smelled some flowers and played some instruments! It was a great morning and this girl is a natural in front of the camera!
