Raising Cane's Makes Its Highly Anticipated Youngstown-Area Debut in Boardman
Popular chicken finger brand with focus on community involvement to give away Free Cane's for a Year and more on May 15
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (May 13, 2019) – Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, the Louisiana-based restaurant company known for its ONE LOVE® – quality chicken finger meals – is set to open its first Boardman restaurant on Wednesday, May 15, at 450 Boardman Poland Road.
The new restaurant will kick off its grand opening festivities with live entertainment beginning at 7:30 a.m. Then, starting at 8 a.m., Boardman's first Raising Cane's will host a "Lucky 20" drawing to award 20 customers ages 13 and older Free Cane's for a Year! Raising Cane's will accept entries from 8-9 a.m., with the Lucky 20 drawing held at 9 a.m. Caniacs must be present to win. Youngstown State's mascot, Pete the Penguin, will also be onsite to pump up the grand opening day crowd.
First-time visitors will be treated to traditional cheers and other high-energy chants to launch the location in unique Cane's fashion, compliments of its 125 newly hired crewmembers. In addition, the first 100 dine-in customers ages 13 and older to purchase a Combo meal will receive a free limited-edition Cane's T-shirt, along with a voucher for a free Box Combo – containing four fresh, never ever frozen chicken fingers, Texas toast, secret recipe Cane's sauce, coleslaw, crinkle-cut fries and a drink – that may be redeemed on a subsequent visit.
"We are thrilled to bring Raising Cane's ONE LOVE to everyone in the Youngstown area," said Eric Ongaro, President of Raising Cane's Ohio, a proud Raising Cane's franchisee. "Our new restaurant is in a great location, right next to Boardman Park, and we've assembled an incredible crew led by Youngstown State alum, David Fedor. He grew up in the area and brings 20 years of restaurant experience to the Cane's culture. I have no doubt that this team will do an excellent job at serving the local community."
Along with its focus on chicken fingers, Raising Cane's is renowned for its commitment to active involvement in its local communities. Last week, Fedor and his crew donated landscaping items and volunteered their time cleaning up the Field of Dreams.
"We had a great time helping clean up the Boardman Community Youth baseball and softball fields," Fedor said. "The group serves about 600 youth in the Boardman community as well as running local, regional and national tournaments. We are honored to have had the opportunity to volunteer our time at the fields."
Boardman's new Raising Cane's is open Sunday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to midnight. This marks the 31st Raising Cane's in Ohio and 438th system-wide.

Junior Alexis Sanchez Prado ran workshops for young people in four cities across Peru, educating children and teenagers about their rights.The seminars presented participants with the opportunity to speak openly about issues that are important to them.
Many young people across Peru are unaware of their rights, especially when it comes to voicing their opinions. Junior aimed to educate children and teenagers across the country by hosting workshops in four cities: Lima, Andahuaylas, Iquitos and Piura. During the seminars, the participants expressed their opinions on seven main topics: education, health, environment, media & communication, participation, child labour and violence.
To submit a report to the United Nations' Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) about the fulfilment of Children's Rights in Peru from the perspective of children and teenagers.
All of the children and teenagers involved were active participants in the workshops, as they were eager to learn more about their rights and discuss important issues with other people their age. Since most of the participants were unaware of their rights to express their opinions, the workshops were essential in helping them see their voices have value and that they have the power to make a change in the world.
The seminars presented participants with the chance to speak openly while making them aware of their rights, along with the importance of expressing their opinions about the world around them. Junior's project is sure to have a lasting impact, as participants told him that they will pass on what they learned in the workshops to other young people across Peru.
In running workshops across Peru, Junior has learned that a simple seminar can make a big difference in the world. The project has made him think more about the power of children, and how they have the ability change the world. He enjoyed engaging with the workshop participants, learning more about their opinions on important issues like education.
We do not need to wait years to let children and teenagers know about how important they are within our society and what they can do to improve their lives and the lives of others.


Fishing for Walleye in lakes is equivalent to downhill skiing on blue diamond slopes; doable, but not nearly as challenging and potentially rewarding as pursuing huge Walleye in fast flowing double-diamond rivers. And let's face it, if you want to catch trophy Walleye consistently around eastern Ontario, you better be working on cracking the code of Lunker hot-spots like the Gatineau, Ottawa and St. Lawrence.
While it may seem difficult to imagine anything living in the broiling turmoil of Spring Rivers, think of it as nature's way of re-setting the table. Gone are last night's chip bowls and empty beer cans, and out come the lumber-jack breakfast specials. It's a restocking of the buffet and the fish love it!
With current comes opportunity. Instead of fish having to seek prey, they simply hunker down in prime ambush points and wait for their food to arrive. Prime staging areas include rocks, minor depressions in the river bottom, current breaks caused by points or wing dams, back eddies, the leading and tailing edges of islands, ship wrecks, and inside turns along the river itself. Anywhere fish can avoid fast current while still maintaining proximity to food conveyed by fast moving water.
When fishing heavy current, it's important to understand the role of slip streams. Surface water moves faster than water closer to the bottom. The slip between the fast overhead and slower deeper currents begins about three meters from the bottom, and slows to roughly half in the last meter. The reduced velocity results from drag generated by the combined effect of structure and bottom contours.
Whether bottom bouncing, dragging Carolina or dropshot rigs, or working a three-way harness, the goal is to reach bottom while maintaining as close to a vertical presentation as possible. The more line you release, the more the current has to grab on to and sweep downstream. This is where your thinner braided lines Like Shimano's Maxcuatro PowerPro comes into play.
For dropshotting in open water with fast current, I'll use 10-15lb braid. When using heavier weights for bottom bouncing or a three-way harness, I go up to 50lb test.
I use fluorocarbon line in 2-meter lengths of 10lb test for dropshotting, and 15-20lb test fluro in 2-3 meter lengths for heavier applications to put distance between the bait and the 2-5 ounce weights. Larger baits include lunker-sized stickbaits such as 4-6 inch shallow running crankbaits, or spinner harnesses with size 2 or larger blades. Shimano makes a range of Compre bottom bouncing rods in the 8-foot range that have the power, length and sensitivity to handle the heavier gear and fish, and reels such as the Tekota 300 line counter that can take the strain of extracting gear from snags without blowing up.
Which direction to troll a river is open to debate? Anglers on the U.S. side of the St. Lawrence claim they can always tell who's a Canadian because we generally troll up stream. Personally, my choice depends 100 per cent on technique.
I like to move up-stream when working spinner rigs or large cranks for Walleye that I know are belly down on the bottom. Keeping the bait working in front of disinterested fish while slowly moving up stream can trigger strikes – they just can't resist.
To quickly cover territory in search of actively feeding fish, I like to execute controlled drifts downstream using jigs or dropshot rigs. It's an effective technique in the late fall when Walleye are schooling up and feeding on or near flats just prior to taking up winter residence deep in the main channel.
Boat control is the challenge, making a bow-mounted electric trolling motor a must. If you're limited to primary propulsion only, angle across current to maintain steerage and optimum trolling speed. With an electric, you can carefully control both your forward movement or backwards drift while keeping your bow pointed up stream at all times.
Remember, your boat will want to drift the same speed as the surface current, while your bait will move at the far slower speed of the current below the slip stream. Maintaining both perfect upstream troll or downstream drift speeds means paying attention to the slope of your line. The objective is to maintain as near to vertical a presentation as possible.
When trolling upstream and you're out from shore, it can be difficult to judge if you're creeping forward or falling back since the motor is continuously working and a wake is coming off the stern. This is when a Lowrance fishfinder with GPS comes in handy. Simply watch your trail laid over your Navionics map and when the trail starts to appear in front of where you thought you were going, you know you are, in fact, slipping backwards.
With so many great rivers in the region, and so few people equipped or experienced enough to fish them properly, they represent access to large Walleye that experience reduced fishing pressure. While fun to catch, they aren't the fish you necessarily want to eat. Take home Walleye in the 16 to 19 inch range. Fish that are 3-4 years old and haven't been around long enough to biomass things like Mercury. The big ones are also the fish responsible for the vast majority of the breeding, so let's keep the fishing sustainable and let the big girls go.

Home Columnist What's Going on with Captain Özil?
What's Going on with Captain Özil?
Andrew Misra
Few players in the Premier League divide opinion quite like Mesut Özil. Often the subject of analysis and discussions, most people have something to say about Arsenal's number 10 and current captain. Some love him, craving his artistry and finesse, whilst blaming Arsène Wenger for stifling his creativity. Others loathe him and will indulge any opportunity to berate his apparent laziness and rue how a player reportedly on £300k per week can disappear in games so frequently.
Firstly though, let's think about why we're banging on about Özil so much. It's because he is a sublimely skilful footballer. This is a player who possesses a remarkable appreciation of the space around him on a football pitch. The extraordinary Avatar-eye vision, allied with supreme technical ability, manifests itself in those glorious, implausible defence-splitting passes. Özil is unique because few playmakers of his delicate ilk exist anymore, particularly in the Premier League. That's why when he delivers we stand up, take note, and marvel about it as we do for few others. Last Monday is a prime example, when he inspired Arsenal to a comeback against Leicester City which turned Twitter into a virtual Özil appreciation evening. Rarely have keyboards had to deploy the umlaut (the two dots over the 'O') so relentlessly.
When Özil arrived on British shores in the summer of 2013, he was lauded and quickly crowned the 'assist King'. It didn't take long for the dethroning, and since then a pattern has recurred often. No sooner does Özil resume that mantle than he has to step down yet again. Little wonder that he's tired. But last Monday at The Emirates, Özil was the man in possession of the captain's armband and everything seemed to be looking up.
Then came this weekend with Arsenal at Crystal Palace. Captain Özil was barely involved and hit the headlines after he was hooked by manager Unai Emery with 22 minutes to go. In a textbook 'toys out of pram' manoeuvre, he angrily reacted to being substituted, throwing his gloves to the ground in dismay, making no eye contact with his boss. The Spaniard defended his captain post-match, saying it's good to show character and all players should want to play. It is true that Özil's apparent anger at failing to reproduce his influential Leicester performance can be viewed positively. But is ignoring your manager as you depart the field the kind of behaviour you expect from an experienced 30-year-old World Cup winner? The captain of a team reacting in this manner is unacceptable.
Özil can feel aggrieved about being played out of position in the past and has every right to be disappointed at being substituted, but this still does not excuse him blanking the manager who has put so much faith in him by giving him the armband.
Of course, we've seen criticism levelled at Özil before. Typically, a sub-par performance leads to 'laziness' complaints headed by pundits such as Graeme Souness. The latest iteration of this saw the Scot mock the German on Saturday for showing more passion than he's ever seen him show after the Selhurst Park strop. These are then swiftly countered by some irrelevant stats showing that Özil actually covers more distance in 90 minutes than Mo Farah. Simply put, Özil is not a 'lazy' player. No, he doesn't track back, but that isn't the point. Gary Neville once commented that he and his Man United team mates didn't mind Cristiano Ronaldo not tracking back in games, as they knew he had the ability to go and win the match for them. The same should apply to Özil.
Criticism which is perhaps more valid though is that concerning his attitude. His tendency of late to miss games with 'illness' has been picked up on. Indeed, since January 2017, Özil has missed games with illness at least six times, including a trip to Liverpool in March 2017, with the latest instance being this August for the visit of West Ham. Is this really illness, or is it part of a wider attitude issue? When you ally this with his sullen demeanour during many games, you have to question whether he stands out as captaincy material.
So why did Emery hand Özil the armband? Maybe to get the best out of Özil, but this is problematic. Indeed, for a player subject to extremes, who is either praised to high heaven or unceremoniously lambasted, shouldering the burden of the captaincy only serves to magnify this attention. This current Arsenal squad may be lacking in obvious captaincy candidates, but surely Emery can find better alternatives. Perhaps Özil purposely made a scene on Saturday to get himself stripped of the armband. After all, it's far easier to disappear with 'illness' if you fancy when you're not the skipper. Emery seemed determined to put his own stamp on this side as he leads the Gunners into a new era, and indicated that no player will be more important than the team, as he experienced with Neymar at Paris Saint-Germain. But in affording him the privilege of the captaincy, is he risking putting too many of his eggs into a flimsy, Özil-shaped basket? Time will tell.
So perhaps we can be a bit kinder to Özil, but equally, his attitude can be improved. Let's not forget that this is a player who was widely considered to be the best 'number 10' in the world just a few years ago, a view expressed by José Mourinho. Guess who won Germany's Player of the Year award in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016? Özil. He recently became the highest scoring German in the Premier League and with three goals in seven Premier League appearances already this season, he might be on his way to his highest scoring campaign. Özils don't come around very often, particularly in this country, so maybe if we berate his 'laziness' less, his attitude will improve, and we can all spend more time marvelling at Mesut's magic.

The next setting you may choose is the number of disks you would like to stripe together for the Services and Data block. The default number is 3 x 512GB. Striping gives you additional throughput. The more disks you have in the same group, the faster you can read from them.
We have started with the standard template first. The VM got deployed and we have done the initial patching and setup (Windows and Visual Studio updates). It immediately became obvious that stopping and staring the VM causes a lot of grief. Windows starting up, checking for system updates, Windows Defender validating the system, waiting for the background services to come up, opening Visual Studio and waiting for the Team Explorer connection takes very long time.
If you have to go in a meeting, do a lunch break, or for whatever reason you do not want to use the VM there is no "suspend" option where you can turn it off and save some money. Your only option is to fully shut down the VM to get it in a Stopped (deallocated) in which case you do not spend extra money. Then you can wait several minutes to bring the whole system up again.
The layout of the converted VM looks slightly different from the Premium LCS template, if you check it in the Azure Portals' Resource Groups section. But with this you can already squeeze out a little bit more juice and effectively shave some waiting time off.
The faster tier already felt better, but it is way off from what we can get on a local deployment. The reason behind is summarized in the table above – you are capped by IOPS and throughput per disk (stripe). If you are doing 4K access on a 500 IOPS SSD, that means your throughput is throttled to 2 MB/sec. Wow!
I had to pull out some tools to measure this myself and compare it against a couple of years old desktop-grade workstation with virtualization enabled (8-core i7-4790K with hyperthreading, 32 GB DDR3 RAM, SATA-6gbps HDD and SSD, M.2 key SSD disks).
The throttling is visible on the write speeds for IOPS and throughput very much for Azure, the desktop workstation wins hands down.
The synthetic measurements could also be translated to real-world usage scenarios. When you need to build a larger model, or create the XPath database from several thousand small XML files whenever you want to include changes, every second counts.
Costs-wise a D13v2 Standard tier machine running for 6 hours a day * 22 days * 12 months with an estimated cost of 1,2 GBP per hour it would put the annual price of a developer VM close to £2000. The same with Premium storage (1x 128 GB OS, 3x 512 GB storage) is roughly around 2,1 GBP per hour, putting the total at about £3300 per annum. If you build a decent workstation and acquire the product licenses, the bill stops around the lower price mark.
For now my decision is to stick to your own build that could support 1 or 2 developers per workstation, and have a look at Azure once their price drops considerably, or the throughput multiplies for the same amount. If you have used the cloud for AX development for a couple of months now, please do share your experience with developer VM performance as well.

1980s/1990s Nostalgia: Dawn Schafer
Kristy, Claudia, Stacey, Mary Anne, Dawn, Mallory, Jessi. If these names mean anything to you, then at some point during your childhood you probably read at least one (if not several or all,) Babysitters Club books. If you're really sharp, you will have also just noticed that I listed the characters in the order in which their first book of the series was released. If you're a true fan, you'll probably notice that I left Abby off the list. And you probably don't care.
All of the characters had their set personalities. Kristy was the tomboy, Claudia was the artsy underachiever, Stacey was the cool New Yorker, Mary Anne was the shy one, Mallory was the awkward kid who dreamed of better things, and Jessi was a dancer with a big heart.
And then there was Dawn.
Of the seven core characters (sorry Abby,) Dawn was probably the greatest enigma. Dawn's role in the BSC as the 'alternate officer' because unlike the other four members she didn't have any particular quality that would make her a good president, vice president, secretary or treasurer, yet she was capable enough to be able to pick up any of the tasks if one of the other girls were absent and it was required of her. She was a vegetarian and her clothing was described as 'California Casual.' (I had no idea what that meant when I was nine years old and I still have no idea now.) Later, she became interested in Environmental issues.
Dawn was introduced to the series in the fourth novel Mary Anne Saves the Day as a new girl who had moved to Stoneybrook from California, where she was essentially a prop for the shy Mary Anne, who is forced to make it on her own after a fight with her childhood best friend, Kristy. We learn that Dawn's parents have recently divorced. Dawn lives with her newly single mother, and younger brother, Jeff. Meanwhile, Mary Anne lives with her father, a widower whose wife died of cancer when Mary Anne was just a baby. And, of course, there is a rather obvious twist, in that it turns out that Dawn's mother and Mary Anne's father were childhood sweethearts. Over the course of the series, their romance would be rekindled and the pair would marry, making Mary Anne and Dawn stepsisters.
The major problem with Dawn's character was that author Ann M Martin seemed to have little or no clue what to do with her. Her stories were an eclectic mix--some focused on her emerging interest in boys, which always seemed to force her to act out (Dawn and the Older Boy, Dawn's Big Date,) while others focused on her struggles with her parents divorce and the fact that her parents now lived on opposite sides of the United States (Dawn on the Coast, Dawn's Wicked Stepsister, Dawn's Family Feud, Dawn's Big Move.) There were also lighthearted moments (The Ghost at Dawn's House) and the downright forgettable (Dawn and the School Spirit War).
Dawn was eventually written out halfway through the series, written back in, and then written out again and given her own spin-off series The California Diaries, a series that was darker, more YA than middle grade, and perhaps a better fit for the character.

My career in Architectural Design began in the Rodney County Councils Civil Engineering Department. Although this is far removed from what I do today, it has provided me with a strong fundamental base knowledge of the area I work and live in, which I would never have had moving straight into the field. After leaving the Rodney County Council in 1987 I was appointed office manager of the Warkworth branch of Whangarei Architecture and Engineering firm Dunning Hawthorne Geddes. (Hawthorne Geddes today) We provided each other with many different skill sets and I can attribute my knowledge of local soils to the years I spent working there. I still have a very close working relationship with Hawthorne Geddes to this day. In 1995 BK design was born. From my early formative years to the present day I have had a focus on producing functional and meaningful designs that are client driven. All projects are given the same in-depth assessment and design input to produce the best creative and practical solutions. I believe that good design is fundamental to all architecture no matter how large or modest the project and my ultimate aim is to create architecture which is thoroughly appreciated by those who occupy it. Over my 28 year career as a designer I have worked on many different projects, ranging from small residential to large commercial warehouses. Through the years many things have changed, but the one thing that hasn't is good design.

This is the third of four fabulous concerts given by the Gould Piano Trio at St. George's, Brandon Hill, Bristol and captured live on disc by SOMM. The concert recorded on this third Volume took place in February 2012 as part of a simultaneous live broadcast by BBC Radio Three for later transmission. The Gould Piano Trio are joined here by the popular clarinettist Robert Plane (former principal clarinettist of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and the CBSO) who features in two of the three works on the CD.
Beethoven composed the Op. 11 Trio in B flat major in 1798 and scored it for piano, clarinet (or violin) and cello. It opens with a graceful Allegro con brio followed by a beautiful, lyrical Adagio 2nd movement. The Allegretto third movement opens with a delightful theme leading to a witty set of nine variations.
Beethoven originally composed the set of Variations on 'Ich bin der Schneider Kakadu' ('I am the tailor cockatoo') round about 1795, the year following the appearance of Wenzel Müller's 1794 comic Singspiel Die Schwestern von Prag ('the Sisters from Prague'), in which this soon-to-be-popular song may be found. Müller's opera was revived in 1814 and its success prompted Beethoven to revise these ten variations worthy of the, by then, great composer. Each of the 10 variations seems to become more elaborate than its predecessor, and this brilliant work ends with a quasi-fugue as the music hurries to its delightful end.
The concluding work is a rarity: the Piano Trio version of the Septet Op. 20. The Septet was first performed in 1800 and became one of Beethoven's most successful and popular works. It circulated in many editions and arrangements for different forces. In 1803 Beethoven himself arranged it as a Trio for clarinet (or violin), cello and piano, and this version was published as his Op. 38 in 1805. The music falls into the tradition of the instrumental classical serenade in that there are no fewer than six movements.
Robert Plane won the Royal Over-Seas League Music Competition in London in 1992 and has since enjoyed an international solo and chamber career. He has made concerto appearances in the USA, China, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Malta and Ireland with the Virginia Symphony, Zurich Chamber Orchestra, Dortmund Philharmonic, RTE National Symphony Orchestra, Ulster Orchestra, Bournemouth Symphony and on tour with the City of London Sinfonia and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. He made his BBC Proms concerto debut in 2011 in Simon Holt's Double concerto 'Centauromachy'.
Robert has collaborated with the Gould Piano Trio for over 20 years, in concert and on disc. CDs of music by Brahms, Bax, York Bowen, Stanford and Cyril Scott have been highly acclaimed, BBC Music Magazine describing their release of Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time as the 'best modern account' of this monumental work. Robert regularly performs with leading string quartets (Maggini, Auer, Brodsky, Dante, Mandelring, Vellinger, Carducci, Cavaleri, Tippett) and with pianist Sophia Rahman.
Robert has held the principal clarinet positions of Northern Sinfonia, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

The lack of compliance with the peace accords and the launching of foolhardy economic "plan" reflect a government devoid of defined leadership, dominated by contradictory forces and lacking in credibility with the people.
Juan Hernández Pico, SJ
Land transfers and credits for former combatants in rural areas, new housing settlements for the demobilized and civilian reinsertion programs for former military are burning and still pending issues from the peace accords. Failure to fulfill these points is exhausting the patience of the ex combatants and a moment of perhaps uncontrollable public confrontation is approaching. The government's inability to reschedule these agreements reveals not only a lack of political will, or of funds, but a lack of authority, what the February 15 pronouncement of the Central American University (UCA) calls "a problem of power."
Systematic Delay in the Peace Accords
Important and rapid advances were made in transferring land during November and December 1994, after the government and the FMLN promised in October to speed up the process. But the rhythm has slowed again since the beginning of 1995. According to the FMLN, 47% of those who should benefit from land transfers had not received anything by mid February. Everything indicates that the resignation of the minister of agriculture (accused of corruption), and the appearance of new officials linked to ultra right sectors of ARENA at the head of the Land Bank and numerous departmental offices played a role in this. The resignation of the housing minister, also for corruption, has left President Armando Calderón Sol without two of his closest Cabinet collaborators, reducing his executive power. There is now little doubt that the political aim of paralyzing the government and, above all, frustrating the fulfillment of the peace accords is behind the right's numerous accusations of corruption against other members of the right.
The slow funneling of credit to agricultural production also seems aimed at sabotaging the peace accord's land redistribution policy. If credit one of the most important instruments of democratization does not arrive in time for the agricultural cycle, it could undermine the meaning of land distribution. The economic Cabinet, which wants the available income to finance luxury goods and financial speculation, does not see the urgency, partly because it has no policy that plans for the country's food self sufficiency.
All of the socioeconomic measures contemplated in the peace accords are suffering systematic delay. The provision of housing to ex combatants has not even begun, nor has the delivery of pensions to war wounded. The Social Economic Forums, which discussed the legal labor frameworks of economic policies, have not been reinitiated; they were interrupted during the electoral campaign almost two years ago. The public discussion of the recent government economic "plan" would have been the best moment to reopen the Forum, but that did not happen.
Although there is talk of installing the tripartite consulting group contemplated in the new labor code into the Labor Ministry, this group would be restricted to resolving employer labor relations. It is not designed to deal with socioeconomic policy.
In addition, nothing has been done to comply with the recommendations of the Truth Commission or the Joint Group regarding judicial reforms or the investigation of death squads.
Behind the Violence
The most serious aspect of El Salvador's situation is that the government lacks real unified responsibility, as opposed to nominal unity, since it is fragmented by its internal conflicts. While militarism and the commitment to democracy are disputed in the national arena, groups of diverse economic backgrounds are fighting over control within the government arena.
Demobilized members of the armed forces, given their unsatisfied needs and the frustration of feeling deceived, have launched violent demonstrations, taking over public buildings and holding hostages. At the end of January they occupied the National Assembly and tried to take over the Supreme Court and other central government institutions. The anti riot battalion of the new Civil National Police (PNC) responded moderately and with a certain level of impotence. The PNC director insisted that its assigned budget was too low.
Just a few days later, with the first takeover resolved, another attempt, this time unsuccessful, was made to take over the Assembly. On that occasion the opposition representatives on the left abandoned the hall, protesting that they were surrounded by the armed forces. The presence of the armed forces in the National Assembly does not appear to have resulted from a presidential order, but from an unconstitutional initiative of the Assembly president, which the President of the Republic later had to cover and guarantee.
In addition, violent demonstrations were held in front of the presidential offices when Spanish President Felipe González was in El Salvador in February. González and Salvadoran President Calderón Sol, who were signing various agreements, had to be rapidly transported to the airport to make sure that the tear gas did not reach them.
On all these occasions the reasonable demands of the demobilized were manipulated by anti democratic forces opposed to the fulfillment of the peace accords; they had been given arms that only the army or "death squad" type paramilitary forces could have. Baseless promises not covered in the agreements were made to former civil defense members and district patrols to get them to join the protests. This manipulation also aimed to demonstrate the weakness of PNC security to the population and show the new administration's inability to respond to the people. Another facet of the goal was to challenge the Spanish government's expressed determination to condition Spanish credits and investments in El Salvador on fulfillment of the peace accords.
The forces within the governmental structures that are gambling on the return of an authoritarian regime in which the military will increase its power again have played an intelligent game ever since the end of the war. They have constantly haggled over the budget to develop the PNC and continuously infiltrated it with members of the former security forces, without subjecting them to an aptitude test within the parameters of the new security doctrine.
In two cases, this infiltration has not been by individuals but by entire specialized bodies; the Commission to Investigate Criminal Acts and the Special Narcotics Unit. This last case was taken to ONUSAL with the demand that what is today called the Narcotics Detachment (DAN) be drastically cleansed. This provoked those who were purged to go on a strike, which has lasted more than a month with the support of some other allies.
Poll Data
The results of all of this conspiring are reflected in public opinion. A poll done by the Central American University's Institute of Public Opinion (IUDOP) while the Assembly was occupied and the DAN strike within the PNC had already begun, indicates that 63% of the population holds the government primarily responsible for the disturbances. Only 4.6% believe that the demobilized armed forces members were responsible. A large part of the population (45%) considers crime and delinquency to be the greatest problem, while 40% believe that the main problems are economic. More than 70% think the government is not at all or only very slightly concerned about resolving these two types of problems.
Considering that 33% of the population views the PNC actions as good or very good and another 48% considers them acceptable, it would appear that the population is complaining not about the PNC's activities but rather about its insufficiencies, perhaps precisely because it is not supported by the government.
The Salvadoran population identified the causes of the recent strikes and demonstrations well; 35% blame it on the failure to fulfill the peace accords, and 31% on the economic crisis. The country is aware of the general crisis and 69% believe that there will be many social conflicts in 1995.
Privatizations
Weekly conflicts have erupted in some public institutions since the start of the year, the great majority expressing worker opposition to future privatization of these institutions. The cycle of conflicts began with the INPEP workers, who manage the pension funds for state workers. They charged that the collective bargaining agreement worked out between management and the union has not been ratified by the Housing Ministry since October 1994.
Pension funds are probably the most critical section in any privatization process, because the funds imply huge capital for any audacious private insurer who adds them to its financial or bank portfolio. With this capital one could later buy shares in other state companies, such as communications (ANTEL) or electricity (CEL).
ANTEL workers have held street demonstrations and even decided to hold work stoppages in international telephone communications. The Union of the Salvadoran Social Security Institute (STISS) took over the institute's offices, and was the only group the PNC acted against with great force. The water and sewer workers (ANDA) and those of the Public Works Ministry (ATMOP) are also ready to initiate new conflicts.
Within the private sector the most significant actions have been accusations by textile piecework industry workers from the San Marcos Free Zone. They took advantage of an exposition of piecework machinery in the Hotel El Salvador to denounce the mistreatment to which they are subjected.
Everyone knows that the maquiladoras (piecework assembly plants) are infamous for not respecting labor rights, that they maintain inhuman and even illegal working hours and use high unemployment rates as blackmail to stop any protests. At this moment, certain private enterprise figures are demanding that the Labor Ministry investigate the maquiladoras suspected of such violations, adding that it would be unjust to judge the whole industry based on isolated cases of injustice.
A Plan that Does Not Convince
On February 2, President Calderón Sol defined in a speech to the nation what is erroneously referred to as an economic "plan." It was obvious that the government has no clear and comprehensive strategy for El Salvador's economic development. Even after some 20 days of public debate. the measures that were initially "floated" remain: maintaining a fixed rate of the colón against the dollar (although it is not clear what rate), dropping both the ceiling and the floor of taxes (but much more gradually and less drastically than had been initially announced), increasing fiscal efficiency (not by upping the value added tax at this time, but by emphasizing more complete coverage in collecting current taxes) and privatizations.
For some analysts, the key is in the privatizations; INPEP first, followed by ANTEL, CEL, etc. These would attract the kind of financial, industrial, export/import capital that would make use of these measures. Meanwhile, the state supports this with more efficient fiscal collection. The discussions before the announcement of the final plan at least focused the tax issue with less imprudence, bringing with it the decision not to tax the majorities by increasing the value added tax.
Medium and small businesses, unions, social organizations, the Church, the universities and research centers (with the exception of FUSADES) and even some large business sectors, have all criticized this "plan." The multilateral financial institutions expressed considerable reservations about it as well.
Before the government could launch a publicity campaign in favor of the measures, the population made its views known in the IUDOP UCA poll. Of those polled, 58% were aware of the measures, of whom 61% did not agree with them and 19.5% did. Almost the same majority (60.8%) considered that these measures would only benefit the country's rich. One third considered that the country's economy will not improve with the measures and another third think it will improve a little bit. Most consider that the main negative impacts will be felt in employment and agricultural production.
The hyperbolic language the government used to present its plan as El Salvador's key to open the door to the global economy does not seem to have convinced the majority. The government's arrogance and lack of realism in designating El Salvador "the Hong Kong of Central America" and insinuating that a platform of Central American regional integration is no longer necessary has not been well received in the country.
Church and Media
The failure to fulfill the peace accords, the campaign against the Civil National Police, the manipulation of the just demands of the demobilized armed forces personnel and the launching of a conflictive economic "plan" that does not emerge from the discussion platform contemplated in the accords (the Social Economic Forum) all reflect a government without definite leadership, dominated by fragmented and contradictory forces. In these conditions the democratization process implied by the peace accords will probably take a step backward.
Perhaps the most disturbing result of the UCA opinion poll deals with people's measure of confidence in various institutions. Over half of the population (53.5%) has no confidence in the political parties, and 70.5% has no confidence in either the government as a whole or in the Justice Department specifically. The winners were the Catholic Church (in which 62.5% expressed much or some confidence) and the media (59.6%).
For all that, in El Salvador at the beginning of 1995, there is not yet any institution that offers a hopeful political alternative from another perspective.


If you're planning to drop any weight hydrated in any way times is essential. Weight reduction through depletion is temporary and dangerous . Regrettably it isn't just feasible to shed weight fast it's quite straightforward to perform and many diet programs rely on this to offer you "immediate" results.
You may wind up into step and cling-film into a sauna for an hour. You might have lost a substantial quantity of weight but you must see it is just temporary because it's to rehydrate each cell in your entire body, and the moment you drink your body will hang on to all those fluids for life.
The time period which you're feeling great as soon as you stay on the scales and unwrap your self and determine the weight has come off is short to the hours or days and weeks you will feel less than 100% because of dehydration.
High levels of hydration imply that more water can be brought into the large intestine (the colon) that helps to make large, soft, bulky stools That Are easily transferred by the human body's natural peristaltic motion. The meals which you consume has time, Whenever you have good transit occasions. In reality, the more time the food remains in the human body, the more of it that you may consume and the more fat you'll gain or retain. Another impact of this is that you're more inclined to keep whenever possible.
Starting to determine how important it's to stay hydrated? Beginning weight reduction through fluids is a poor idea to know? Of ingesting these fluids all, an additional bonus is the fact that it takes the edge you lower your food consumption and will consume.
Weight loss is an easy equation. You'll gain weight if you're consuming more calories than you're using. You may shed weight if you're consuming more calories than you're eating.
Hydrate yourself. Drink 8 or more glasses of water every day. Daily. Cut down. Since it's diuretic that means you will expel fluid than you're drinking caffeine is a great example. Salt is just another thing. This may seem like a fantastic idea but in fact it is not currently keeping the water in the proper places. Because of any number of procedures which have intracellular osmosis an excessive amount of salt in your diet can let you dehydrate in a manner that does not provide a desire to you. Though you'll put on pounds in retention that is undesirable.
Staying hydrated has other advantages. When you drink a lot of water, your body systems (more especially your own kidneys and lymph system) work much better. Frequently the most obvious ones are smooth skin and hair when that is happening you're expelling toxins that has many consequences.


You can empower patients to break the cycle of depression by explaining this cycle, noting the consequences of continued avoidance and isolation, and urging patients to engage in some type of pleasurable behavior (even if the patient doesn't feel like doing so). Drawing a picture of the depression cycle on paper and planning the behaviors in advance can be helpful for patients. Asking patients to track their moods before and after the planned behaviors can yield persuasive data to encourage continued activity. Patients cannot wait until they "feel like" doing something; behavioral activation requires patients to engage in activity regardless of their mood or energy level.


I am looking to install some electric in my garage, mainly a few double sockets, and a lighting circuit for 2/3 ceiling mounted strip lights. possibly even a socket outdoors. I currently have one socket and one light in the garage and a security light to the front of the house all wired off of one power supply from my circuit breaker under the stairs in the house.
Anyone able to tell me what i am going to need to do this, or am i better getting someone who knows a bit.
In general when wiring a garage one must allow for it becoming a laundry room with washing machine and tumble dryer so would allow for a 32 amp supply. If not attached to the house then some method of reducing the power available for the lights for example a consumer unit. And since there may be some rough work are cables will need protecting. The use of conduit and or steel wire armoured cable would be likely and due to current draw the volt drop and the earth loop impedance would need calculating in order to select the cable. Depending on how close to the house and what type of supply feeds the house earthing arrangements would have to be selected. Either TT or TN-S and this would also have a bearing as to if 2 or 3 core cable is used. When an electrician visits he will have most likely done similar jobs in the past and will not need to work things out before hand but will be able to plan using past experience being reasonably sure when it is all tested it will pass. You however will need to submit your plans to building controls before you start to comply with Part P and will need to prove you are competent to do the job. Then on completion you will need to measure all the impedance and or resistance of cables used and complete the forms showing all your test results. If you think you can complete this then all well and good but if not then better to get an electrician to start with. He may allow you to labour for him digging holes etc. So reducing the cost but if he is to sign the completion paperwork he must have been in control even if he did not do it all himself.
Then decide if you still want to do it yourself.
It is a bit more involved legally now.
A mature attempt to wire up garage?
Armature attempt to wire up garage?
Amateur attempt to wire up garage?
If it's the latter then I suggest you get a professional to do the job.
Now where did I put that kebab?

Our Client was charged with assault and battery following a nasty neighborhood dispute. Our Client and her Neighbor got into a disagreement about a timeless neighborhood issue: turning around in a neighbor's driveway.
This lead to a heated verbal altercation outside of my Client's house. Following the altercation, the Neighbor told the police our Client pushed her in the back. My Client claimed she never touched the Neighbor.
When we got to Court, our Client was offered a solid plea bargain: Plead guilty, be put on probation, and the conviction will disappear after probation.
Our Client turned this down and chose to go to trial, insisting on her innocence. She knew going to trial meant the possibility of a guilty verdict, resulting in having the conviction on her record.
Read more: Jury Trial win in East Lansing.
This is the uncertainty many people face when choosing whether to plead guilty or go to trial. A plea bargain results in certainty about the outcome of your case, whereas in a trial you can win and walk away, or lose and be in a worse position than if you had plea bargained.
Each person charged with a crime has an absolute right to take their case to trial. You don't even need a reason.
You can go to trial whether you're 100% innocent, 100% guilty, 50% innocent and 50% guilty, believe the crime you were charged with is unfair, or believe you were the true victim of the situation.
In this jury trial, the government charged that our Client had committed an assault and battery. Legally speaking, the definitions of assault and battery are a bit more specific than how they are used in the public.
This is how I explain the terms to clients. A battery is when I punch someone. An assault is where I try to punch someone but miss or threaten to punch someone and I have the present ability to carry out that threat.
You can substitute any sort of offensive touching with the word "punch", and there's your definition of assault and battery. The jury can find a defendant guilty of the offense if they find the defendant committed either an assault or battery.
Our Client's claim was absolute innocence. Indeed, she had never been in a physical fight in her entire life. She had never even spoken to this Neighbor before the night she was accused. Why would she now start fighting people over little things?
We got our answer when we sent a Freedom of Information Act request to the police station, asking for all police reports involving the Neighbor.
We found the neighbor had called the police on basically all her neighbors for various reasons. The neighbor had been using the police department to bully her neighbors for years.
The jury trial lasted most of the day. The jury deliberated for about an hour before delivering the verdict: Not Guilty.

Q: How do I amend MySQL query to count the number of times a value appears in a DB table/result? The following database result/table was created by joining 2 tables together using the SQL query below. What I also want to do is to display a third column which counts how many times a certain value is contained within the main_category column. An example of the desired result can be seen in the table at the bottom where the third column shows the number of times 'main category 1' appears - in this example 8 times, and that 'main category 2' appears 6 times.

A: i have take you example data provided in your question here the subquery just to show you the logic how you can do it
SELECT *,(SELECT COUNT( mcat) FROM `categoriesstack`

 WHERE mcat=cs.mcat) AS `count` FROM `categoriesstack` cs

Here is your fiddle
This is how you can implement in your query but not sure that is works
  SELECT headings.heading AS sub_category,
         primary_category AS main_category,
  (SELECT COUNT(primary_category) FROM `TABLE1` WHERE primary_category=TABLE1 .primary_category) AS `count`
  FROM   TABLE1 INNER JOIN headings ON TABLE1.Heading=TABLE2.heading

UNION

  SELECT TABLE2.heading     AS heading,
         secondary_category AS main_category,
  (SELECT COUNT(secondary_category) FROM `TABLE1` WHERE secondary_category=TABLE1 .secondary_category) AS `count`
  FROM   TABLE1 INNER JOIN TABLE2 ON TABLE1.Heading=TABLE2.heading

ORDER BY main_category ASC

Hope it works fine

….Updated to confirm VE4WWO for its 1300 UTC time slot. Also, Hams on the system may ask NWS offices to make contact with other NWS offices that maybe on the system during a NWS office's designated time slot. NWS offices, at their discretion, can allow Amateurs who want to make contact with other NWS offices during their time slot, if they so desire when requested by a station or at their own discretion. Remainder below is unchanged….
The contact from VE4WWO reports that there maybe issues with their IRLP node that may not allow them to do net control so they have been listed as tentative.
Other NWS offices have contacted as well but its not clear if there is interest in participating on the system. This will be updated as things change. Its also possible that other NWS offices will be monitoring and participating on the system much like last year where various NWS offices got on to the system during open time slots or when NWS offices had exhausted making contacts on the system. If you are a NWS office SKYWARN Coordinator interested in utilizing a time slot for Net Control duties, please contact me and CC: Matt Mehle.
For those that want to do listen-only, New England IRLP reflector channel 9129 and the *VKEMCOMM* Node: 270177/IRLP reflector 9508 will be utilized for those that just want to listen to the event.
The New England Reflector system, IRLP reflector 9123, EchoLink Conference *NEW-ENG*, Node #:9123 will also be available for usage as required. NWS Taunton Amateur station, WX1BOX, will be on the system looking for contacts and stations and can designate the use of that system to other NWS offices on an informal basis. From NWS Taunton, we will be able to monitor both VoIP systems during our timeframe for operations during SRD.
Event information on SKYWARN Recognition Day can be found at http://hamradio.noaa.gov and can also be found in the December issue of QST on page 66.
The 8th annual SKYWARN Recognition Day (SRD) special event will take place Saturday, December 2, 2006. SKYWARN Recognition Day is an event co-sponsored by the National Weather Service and the American Radio Relay League, and it is the National Weather Service's way of saying "thank you" to Amateur Radio operators for their commitment to helping keep their communities safe.
During the 24-hour special event, amateur radio operators will visit their local National Weather Service (NWS) office, set up Amateur Radio stations, and work as a team to contact other hams across the world.
"Ham radio operators volunteering as storm spotters are an extremely valuable asset to National Weather Service operations since they are cross-trained in both communications and severe storm recognition", says Scott Mentzer (N***QE), organizer of the event and Meteorologist-In-Charge at the NWS office in Goodland, Kansas.
In typical warning operations, it is the direct communication between mobile spotters and the local NWS office which provides vital ground truth information. Spotter reports of hail size, wind damage and surface-based rotation in real time greatly assists the radar warning operator since that information can be correlated with Doppler radar displays. The result can range anywhere from a more strongly-worded statement to convey a greater sense of urgency, or the issuance of a tornado warning a few minutes earlier than would otherwise have been possible.
While National Weather Service offices utilize the real-time reporting of severe weather events to assist in warning operations, hurricanes and tropical storms have shown us that ham radio operators are equally important during the recovery phase of natural disasters.
There are countless stories where ham radio worked in tandem with more conventional technology to relay emergency traffic.
SKYWARN Recognition Day will be held on December 2, 2006, from 0000 UTC to 2400 UTC.
The object is for all radio amateur stations to exchange QSO information with as many National Weather Service Stations as possible on 80, 40, 20, 15, 10, 6, and 2 meter bands plus the 70 centimeter band. Contacts via repeaters are permitted.
The exchange should include call sign, signal report, location, and a one or two word description of the weather occurring at your site ("sunny", "partly cloudy", "windy", etc.). NWS stations will work various modes including SSB, FM, AM, RTTY, CW, and PSK31. While working digital modes, special event stations will append "NWS" to their call sign (e.g., N***A/NWS).
We hope to hear many Amateurs on VoIP and all other modes that will be utilized during SKYWARN Recognition Day 2006. Thanks to all for their continued support for the VoIP Hurricane Net as well.
You can also get to the presentation and net recording by clicking the VoIP WX Net Presentations archive link from the main menu. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
Given the quiet Hurricane Season of 2006 in the Atlantic, it has given the net management team some additional time to focus on initiatives that the net management team as put together and worked on for the past year. All of you have seen the efforts made in PR, Web Site reorganization, Net Control recruitment and solicitation of stations from the affected area of hurricanes to participate in our net. Another piece of that work is to do more presentations on the weekly net to generate interest.
Tony Langdon-VK3JED, our VoIP Hurricane Net Technical Coordinator, will be doing a presentation for this week's net on the Australia High Fire Danger and Summer Weather given the El Nino pattern. Some of Australia's worst fire weather comes from El Nino patterns. Tony will walk us through that scenario and the issues associated with it.
The Power Point presentation will be posted on the VoIP Hurricane Net web site prior to the net. The net will be recorded and archived on the web site.
This will be the first in a series of presentations that we hope to do roughly on a monthly basis. For December, a presentation may not be done because of planning of activities on VoIP for SKYWARN Recognition Day.
I hope many will check into the net this Saturday. Also, with daylight savings time, the time of the net will change locally as the net will remain at its time slot of 0000 UTC. A separate note will be put out on that fact shortly.

If Shohei Ohtani's ulnar collateral ligament injury requires Tommy John surgery, he might not play again until 2020.
This morning, we learned of a report from ESPN's Pedro Gomez, which said that Angels pitcher/DH Shohei Ohtani was likely to undergo Tommy John surgery, causing him to miss the remainder of the 2018 season and all of the 2019 season.
Angels GM Billy Epler, however, said Gomez's report was innaccurate.
Gomez also pointed out, the longer the Angels wait now to see if Ohtani absolutely needs the surgery, the longer his road to recovery will be. "They're trying to hold out, because they're in the middle of the season, they're kind of competitive right now, he is their best pitcher, but it doesn't look good at this point". Days after he signed as a free agent with the Angels in December, Yahoo reported that Ohtani had a Grade 1 UCL tear but Eppler said at the time that there were "no signs of acute trauma" in the ligament.
The Japanese star is now out for three weeks after suffering sprained elbow ligaments, and the club is hopeful he may respond to platelet-rich plasma and stem cell therapy. "That this is completely treatable with the biologic prescription that the doctors recommend". Ohtani's devastating split-finger fastball is a pitch that puts significant strain on the elbow.
Ohtani had a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) shot in October, before he signed with the Angels, to treat previous elbow pain. He has stuck out 61 batters in 49 1/3 innings.
Losing the two-way star, who has four wins and a 3.10 ERA as a pitcher and a.289 batting average with six home runs as a hitter, would be a crippling blow to an Angels team looking to contend in this year's playoffs.
"But that's not his circumstance, and that's not how we want to utilize the player", Eppler said.

Listening Tour Recap: Glastonbury
On Tuesday, August 21, our Greater Together Listening Tour 2018 stopped at the Glastonbury Boathouse. Forty-four residents, along with nonprofit and municipal leaders, joined Hartford Foundation President Jay Williams and Foundation staff for a wide-ranging conversation. After a short introduction, Jay invited guests to tell us what they love about living in Glastonbury, as well as some of the challenges facing their community.
Here are a few things we learned throughout the course of the evening:
Like many areas of Greater Hartford, Glastonbury features beautiful natural resources. Residents want to ensure that we keep these environments pristine for generations to come. This is another common theme that we've heard at other stops on our Listening Tour. There are spectacular areas to explore in the Greater Hartford region, and protecting the environment is important. There are quite a few businesses in Glastonbury who currently do not recycle, and use single-use plastic, such as bags, straws, and lids. How can residents of Glastonbury be good stewards of the environment? How can businesses and residents be educated about the benefits of reusing, reducing and recycling in order to keep Glastonbury beautiful?
Glastonbury has great generational diversity. There are young families, professionals in their 50's and seniors in their 80's. However, intergeneration problems then arise when silos are built. This is another common theme we've heard in other towns, with a few suggesting using or creating senior or community centers to help foster intergenerational connections. What role can the Foundation take in helping to break down silos among the generations?
There was a robust discussion about workforce development, particularly around the vocations. While our vocational education is better in relation to the rest of the country, we still need to do more. There is a lack of talent in the vocations, particularly in rocket science and robotics, and there is a need to have a fully trained workforce in order to remain competitive in the global economy. We are making some strides to refill the pipeline. Three community colleges in the Greater Hartford region have two-year programs focused on manufacturing: Asnuntuck Community College in Enfield, Tunxis Community College in Farmington, and Manchester Community College. Glastonbury High School just opened a center for robotics and new technology. Connecticut is also home to world-class employers, such as East Hartford based Pratt and Whitney, who are willing to invest in individuals who have the basic knowledge, but lack a four-year degree. How can the Foundation support technical education and workforce development to help keep Greater Hartford region competitive in the global marketplace?
As with other stops on the tour, there is a desire in Glastonbury for more collaboration and resource sharing. There are many nonprofits in Glastonbury and the Greater Hartford region that need support. Some of these organizations are doing similar work in the region. In addition, there is a decline in volunteerism. Fewer young people are joining organizations and volunteering. How can different organizations across many disciplines collaborate to make a greater impact? As the current volunteer pool ages, retires or otherwise becomes smaller, how can we help replenish the numbers of volunteers needed to keep our towns vibrant?
People love living in Glastonbury, however, there is a self-image problem on the local and state level – residents often have a negative outlook about the future of our region for various reasons: taxes are too high, a lack of affordable housing, traffic congestion to name a few. People are leaving the state and therefore Glastonbury. Some feel siloed within their own communities, or unwelcome because they are of a different race than the majority of residents. How can we work together to instill a sense of pride in the region and state that is inclusive for future generations?
Thank you to everyone who attended our Glastonbury Listening Tour event! If there are any additional ideas you would like share, please email them to together2018@hfpg.org. We would love to hear from you! Our next stop for residents of Hartford is on September 5 at the Chrysalis Center, located at 255 Homestead Ave, Hartford, CT 06112.

Hartford Area Inner City Capital Connections (ICCC) launches capacity-building training initiative for over 60 businesses


Earth Activist Training « Donate to help us train the Earth Healers at Earth Activist Training.
Please help us train the next earth healers!
Why donate to Earth Activist Training? Because in our work over the past 15 years in regenerating land and community, organizing for justice, and building beneficial relationships, we have focused on providing Diversity Scholarships for people of color working in environmental and social justice.
What will they do with this training? Our students are growing food in urban farms in Baltimore, teaching inner-city kids in Indiana, organizing a permaculture gathering at Standing Rock. They've brought permaculture to global justice mobilizations and set up graywater treatment at Occupy camps, provided bioremediation after Hurricane Katrina and trained designers and teachers at a suburban farm in the SF Bay Area, worked to empower girls and young women who live in public housing, and so much more!
In the last several years, our work on increasing diversity and bringing the skills and tools of permaculture to leaders in impacted communities bore fruit. We had some of the most diverse courses ever. Our January 2015 course was the first to provide interpreters for Deaf students, and our amazing students will be ambassadors in the permaculture world for Deaf access and consideration of disabilities. In addition, we had members of our local Pomo and Miwok tribes that began our program with traditional dances and participated in the learning. We've had students of African-American, Native American, Latino, Asian, South Asian backgrounds, many LBGT students, youth, elderly, and disabled students who work in a wide variety of settings and organizations—from community gardens in Baltimore to organizational consulting and academia. We expect a huge ripple effect.
At the North American Permaculture Convergence in Hopland, CA over the last three years, we were proud to note how much more diverse the participants, speakers and presenters were—and how many of them had come through an Earth Activist Training. We believe we are truly making an impact on the permaculture movement as a whole.
But simply bringing together a diverse group is not enough. Teachers, facilitators and venue providers need to know how to create a truly welcoming environment, how to handle conflicts when they arise, and how to move the group past divisions into deeper learning. Our skills and those of our mentees continue to grow and deepen, and through increasing our mentorship capacity with our new Social Fellowship program, we hope to find ways to train others in these crucial capacities.
Yes, the times are challenging…and that beautiful world of justice seems to be receding before us. But the world is also full of people quietly doing their best—healing, planting, teaching, organizing, regenerating, and taking action to make the crucial changes we need. Thank you so much for doing your part—and for supporting ours!
P.S. Please, share this letter with your friends and social networks. And, come take one of our programs yourself: one of our two-week permaculture design certificate courses, our Sacred Earth intensive, or perhaps a Social Permaculture training next year.
Alliance of Community Trainers, the fiscal sponsor for Earth Activist Training, is a 501c3 nonprofit.
