Philenoptera violacea (Lonchocarpus capassa)
(Apple-Leaf)
Occurs in northern Namibia, Botswana, Transvaal, Swaziland and northern Natal. This is a protected tree and is medium sized growing to 15 m. It is semi deciduous and has grey bark which oozes red when cut. The mauve, sweetpea-like, scented flowers are a good source of nectar and pollen for the bees and they open in summer and are replaced by fruit which consists of a flat pod which hangs from the tree for many months. It is found from the Eastern Cape , KZN, Mpumalanga and Limpopo so is definitely frost tender, although it is drought hardy. It is often an indicator of underground water. The bark has a distinct grey, mottled appearance. The wood is hard, yellowish and is used for furniture, carvings, mealie stumpers and dug out canoes. It burns too fast so is not used for firewood. The leaves are grey-green above and pale grey below. A nymph sucks the sap and a water secretion drips from the tree resulting in its common name of "Rain tree". The leaves are browsed by giraffe and elephant and browsers eat the fallen leaves at the end of winter so it is useful for a game farm. They are also eaten by humans as spinach in times of need. It is used medicinally as bark infusions treat diarrhea, intestinal problems, colds, snake bite and as a remedy for hookworm. Smoke from a burning root is inhaled to treat a cold. It is said to be a lucky charm and is used to resolve disputes. The roots and bark are highly toxic and are cut into pieces, thrown into water to paralyse fish so it is used as fish poison. The fish float to the surface and are then netted and remain edible. There is a belief that bad luck comes to those who cut down the tree. It is the larval host plant to the Striped Policeman and the Large Blue Emperor butterflies. The name is derived from the Greek Lonche=lance; karpos=fruit; tree with lance shaped fruit; the pod is linear-oglong, flat, membranous or leathery.

Plumbago auriculata
(Cape Leadwort)
An old faithful favourite amongst gardeners and landscapers. It is dependable, evergreen, drought hardy and fast growing. Plant it in the sun or semi shade and look out for the blue flowers in summer. These will attract butterflies and birds, which also use the bush as nesting sites. The flowers are edible and look pretty in a fruit salad or floating in a cooldrink. It responds well to pruning and if left to its own devices, it will scamper up to the tree tops. The roots and the leaves are used medicinally for headaches and the root bark is used as a bathing lotion to heal matrimonial discord. It is also magical and is said to heal fractures, and confuse enemies. Bundles of twigs are tied up into the roof rafters to ward off evil and prevent lightning. Root infusions dispel bad dreams and malaria and powdered root is put on warts and used as a snuff for headaches and fractures. A fire is made from the plant and the cattle and sheep are led through the smoke as this keeps them together and protects and defends them. This is the larval host plant to the Common Blue and the Short-toothed Blue butterflies. The name is derived from the Latin plumbum=lead; ago=resemblance, connection. The roots contain a fatty, lead coloured dye.

(Elephant's Foot, Spekboom)
Nature's wonder plant that purifies the air. A friend of mine has one growing in a pot in every room in her home. The porkbush is an attractive, evergreen succulent shrub or small tree that can reach 2 - 5 m in height, although usually around 1.5 - 2 m in a garden situation. It is protected. It has small round succulent leaves and red stems. Small star-shaped light pink to deep red flowers are borne en masse from late winter to spring although flowering in cultivation is often erratic. They are a rich source of nectar for many insects, which in-turn attracts insectivorous birds and is used as nesting sites. Bees use the nectar to make honey. It also attracts butterflies. The fruit are like inflated paper lanterns and are mauve or rose coloured. They thrive in warm situations on rocky slopes, in bushveld and dry river valleys. This bushy tree makes a lovely screen or hedge. The leaves of the porkbush can be eaten and have a sour or tart flavour. It is heavily browsed by game and domestic stock and highly favoured by tortoises. The porkbush is useful for preventing soil erosion. Traditional uses also include the increasing of breast milk for lactating mothers. The leaves are used to quench thirst, and sucking a leaf is used to treat exhaustion, dehydration and heat stroke. There are many medicinal uses as crushed leaves can be rubbed on blisters and corns on the feet to provide relief. The leaves are chewed as a treatment for a sore throat and mouth infections while the astringent juice is used for soothing skin conditions such as pimples, rashes and insect stings. The juice is also used as an antiseptic and as a treatment for sunburn. The leaves are excellent fodder for most domestic animals and game such as grey duiker, klipspringer, impala, bushbuck, nyala, kudu and elephant. A sprig is placed on top of Tomato Bredie as it is cooking and this imparts an elusive and tangy taste.

Ptaeroxylon obliquum
(Sneezewood)
This evergreen, medium sized tree is water-wise, extremely hardy and durable. Leaflets are distinctly asymmetrical in shape. Foliage sometimes colours in autumn and winter, but the tree is not always deciduous. The young foliage is browsed and enjoyed by game including various antelope and giraffe. This is a moderate to fast grower (0.4 to 1 m per year). It will withstand moderate frost and is very drought-tolerant, but will perform better where rainfall is higher. It appears to prefer shale or limey soils, but grows in most well-drained sandy or rocky soils. The tree is used traditionally both for medicine and ritual purposes. Bark is used as a snuff to relieve headaches. Pieces of wood can be placed in cupboards to repel moths. The resin from the heated wood has been applied to warts and powdered bark added to a wash to kill cattle ticks. The wood is reported to "burn like paraffin" giving a bright, hot fire. It was also used as tinder to make fire by friction. Flowers are small, sweetly scented, with four petals, opening white with an orange centre and are produced from August to December. Male and female flowers occur on different trees. The fruit is an oblong capsule, notched at the tip and splits open to produce winged seeds. This is the larval host plant to the Citrus Swallowtail butterfly. Plant it about 4 meters from a building and a pool. The name is derived from the Greek ptairein = to sneeze and xylon - wood, referring to the freshly cut wood that has an irritant which causes sneezing

Rothmannia capensis
(Cape Gardenia)
This evergreen, medium tree grows up to 10 m tall in woodlands but reaches 20 m in forests. It has a dense roundish crown. The bark on younger branches is smooth and grey-brown, but darker grey, rough and cracked like crocodile skin on older branches. The glossy green leaves are often crowded towards the ends of the branches and have little bumps. The beautiful bell-shaped flowers are borne singly in summer. They are creamy white with purplish red streaks and speckled inside the flower tube. They have a strong sweet scent, which lingers even after they dry. They are followed by round, hard, green fruits with leathery skin and marked with faint grooves. The fruits soften when ripe and turn brown. They contain many flat seeds embedded in pulp. The fruit is enjoyed by baboon, monkeys bushbuck, grey duiker and bushpig.. This beautiful tree is suitable for a small garden as it has non aggressive roots. It grows very well in light shade or full sun, preferring loam or sandy soils to clay. It grows moderately fast (0.7 m per year) and may flower in its second year, but most take a little longer. Do protect young trees from frost. It attracts birds and butterflies. It is used medicinally to treat wounds, leprosy, burns and rheumatism. The wood is hard and strong and is used hut building, fuel and tools. For Joran(George) Johansson Rothman (1739-1778) a Swedish botanist, physian and translator.

Searsia lancea (Rhus lancea)
(Karee)
This tree has recently changed its name from Rhus lancea. It is wide spread and is only missing from Kwazulu Natal. It grows to 5-10 meters and makes a lovely evergreen shade tree, hedge, wind break and roadside tree. It is in the top 5 frost and drought hardy trees. Our grandsons loved climbing these trees when they were little as they branch low down if left to their own devices. It attracts birds and butterflies and the fruit is enjoyed by our staff, although it is sour and it is traditionally also used to make mead or tea. It is also eaten by birds like bulbuls and the fallen fruit is eaten by guineafowl and francolins. The leaves and bark produce a brown dye. The leaves are also eaten by game like kudu, roan and sable, so it's a good fodder tree on a game farm. This tree indicates surface or underground water and it does not have aggressive roots. The wood is used as fencing posts as it is termite proof. The bark is used for tanning. Bushmen used the branches as shepherd's crooks. It is protected in the Northern Cape and the Jacobsdal area in the Free State. It is browsed by game . Plant it 5 meters from a building or a pond. It is used medicinally as roots, stem bark and leaves treat skin diseases. Roots are used for abdominal and chest complaints and the leaves are used for measles. Their vapour is inhaled for a cough. The name is derived fro the Greek rhous, = red; referring to the fruits or the autumn leaves. Named for Paul Sears( 1891-1990) a US plant ecologist and professor who authored many books.

Spirostachys africana
(Tamboti)
This medium-sized, semi-deciduous tree with a round crown occurs at low altitudes. It grows up to 18 m in height. The tree is commonly known for its toxic milky latex that exudes from all parts of it. Its characteristic bark is dark brown to black, thick, rough and neatly cracked into regular rectangular blocks that are arranged in longitudinal rows. Leaves are alternate, simple and are up to 70 x 35 mm and the margins are finely toothed. The young, red leaves are often visible among the older, green leaves in spring. The flower heads are 15-30 mm long, bearing mostly male and a few female flowers. The female flowers are attached at the base of each spike. Flowering takes place in August to September before the new leaves appear. The flowering spikes of this plant are unusual in appearance as the male flowers appear gold-coloured because of the pollen whereas female flowers are blood red. The flowers are visited by bees. The fruit is a capsule that is three-lobed and opens with an exploding sound that can be heard on hot summer days from October to February. The Knobthorn Moth lays its eggs in the fruit and the larvae cause the fruit to jump once they have hatched. This is why they are called 'jumping beans'.The fruit is eaten by birds, antelope and monkeys. This tree is very attractive in larger gardens, it is fairly drought and frost resistant, but grows very slowly. Although the latex is very toxic to humans it does have traditional medicinal uses, for example, a drop of the fresh latex is applied to a painful tooth as a painkiller. The bark is used to treat stomach pains but large dosages will cause damage to the internal organs. Powdered bark is rubbed all over the body to prevent having a hairy body. Wood smoke is inhaled to drive away evil spirits. Pieces of bark are worn as a protective charm and it is also used as a fish poison. It attracts birds, butterflies and is also ideal for bonsai. Antelope, stock and monkeys eat the fallen leaves while fresh leaves are eaten by Black Rhino and Elephant. Porcupine eat the bark. Although it is medicinal, all parts of this tree can cause nausea and death. The wood is hard and is used for furniture but is lethal if used for fuel. It is more fragrant than sandalwood and can be put into linen cupboards to keep fish-moths away. Even the sawdust smoke is lethal if burnt. I read of children who died after using the branches as skewers to braai their boerewors. The name is derived from the Greek speiros = spiralled or twisted ; stachys= spike as the flowers are in a tight spiral on the spike.

Victim's Testimony Exposes Vast Child Trafficking Network Among the Politically Elite
Matt Agorist December 5, 2017
A former child trafficking victim is speaking out and backed up by evidence exposing a massive multistate criminal operation tied to politicians, heads of state and the mafia.
It is no longer a secret that throughout all levels of the Hollywood establishment there is rampant sexual abuse. However, this massive ousting of pedophiles and sex abusers is leading to a place in which some of society's worst abusers make a living off your tax dollars—Washington D.C.
In a bombshell interview with Disobedient Media, Greg Bucceroni, a survivor of sex trafficking, described his experiences in an alleged child sex ring in the late 1970's and early 1980's that primarily targeted troubled young boys on the East Coast. The network was said to be comprised of known human traffickers, abusers and producers of child pornography with ties to organized crime who openly associated with prominent political figures, including some who have been accused of indiscretions in the past, according to DM.
For those who don't remember, Bucceroni is no stranger to exposing elite pedophiles as he came forward in 2012 with major allegations linking Jerry Sandusky to a massive pedophile ring tied to former Poly Prep football coach Phil Foglietta.
The pedophile ring operated under the cover of being a charitable organization that helped at-risk youths. Only this alleged pedophile ring preyed on them instead of helped them.
"(Between) 1977-1980 I was a child prostitute associated with a tri-state (NYC-NJ-PA) pedophile ring. (During the) summer of 1979 I was brought to the State College area by Ed Savitz for the purpose of child prostitution with Jerry Sandusky at a Second Mile fundraiser," Bucceroni wrote in the email. "Due to time constraints, Sandusky became unavailable and I was introduced to Phil Foglietta by Ed Savitz & Jerry Sandusky. Foglietta was introduced to us as Coach Phil who coached youth football in NYC. Foglietta agreed to pay $200.00 for child sex and followed us back to a Philadelphia hotel, myself (sic)ad another child prostitute then engaged coach Phil in child sex."
As DM reports, Bucceroni's assertions are corroborated by media reports, emails published by Wikileaks, FBI documentation of mafia activity and testimony from a congressional committee hearing obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests.
The pedophile rings included former Philadelphia businessman, Ed Savitz, philanthropist Samuel Rappaport, former Penn State coach, Jerry Sandusky, Coach Phil Foglietta, and former Wharton School of Business professor, Lawrence Scott Ward. Along with Sandusky, Ward was busted as well and is currently serving a prison sentence for producing and distributing child porn.
Bucceroni also linked former speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert, Lawrence King, and former DNC Chair Ed Rendell to the scandal.
King ran the now defunct Franklin Community Federal Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska, and it was alleged that the ring was "a cult of devil worshipers involved in the mutilation, sacrifice, and cannibalism of numerous children."
During the fall of the credit union, the NY Times reported that State Senator Ernie Chambers of Omaha, said the activities of Lawrence E. King Jr., the credit union's manager for the last 18 years and the central figure in its collapse, were "just the tip of an iceberg, and he's not in it by himself."
Bucceroni told Disobedient Media that Lawrence King would host trips to "take kids from the South Philly Boys Club to Washington D.C." Bucceroni explained that he was never tortured by Savitz or Lawrence King and was not personally aware of others being tortured but that Savitz used the "honey approach rather than vinegar."
Hastert was apparently very close to Lawrence King as well. As TFTP has reported in the past, Hastert, the former speaker of the house under Clinton and Bush is an admitted child rapist whose political connections got him a sweet deal during his prosecution.
Aside from the FOIA requests, WikiLeaks, and mainstream press backing up the claims of Bucceroni, as TFTP recently reported, we are now seeing the curtain get peeled back on DC showing how taxpayer dollars are being spent to cover up the rampant sex abuse taking place in the nation's capital.
Bucceroni's allegations not only tie sex trafficking philanthropists to the political elite, but they also encompass the mafia and a pornography empire that would help create and distribute the horrific acts by these monsters.
As DM notes, pornography mogul Richard Basciano was reported to have partnered with mafia notable Robert DiBernado, who The New York Times lists as a captain in the Gambino crime family that was under federal investigation for child pornography at the time of his murder. The New York Times reported that "Mr. DiBernardo and Mr. Rothstein are officers of Star Distributors, a company that Federal prosecutors are investigating for involvement in child pornography." The New York Daily News also confirms that in the 1980's, Robert DiBernardo and Ted Rothstein were partners of Richard Basciano. FBI documents state outright that Basciano oversaw Star Distributors, which was referred to as an outlet well known for distributing child pornography.
Aside from his mafia ties, Basciano was also well-connected to the political class.
Basciano had a well-documented friendship with Ed Rendell, a former District Attorney for Philadelphia, former Governor of Pennsylvania and former DNC Chair. Some press reports go so far as to suggest that Rendell shielded Basciano in the aftermath of a 2013 building collapse. An editorial by the Philadelphia Inquirer lamented that "It was disheartening to hear a former mayor, Ed Rendell, defend Richard Basciano," during the ensuing scandal. The editorial appears to have since been removed from the Inquirer's site.
Aside from being the former DNC Chair, Rendell was also reportedly involved with the child trafficking ring operating out of Haiti after the 2010 earthquake.
The Obama administration, with the help of Rendell who was the Governor of Pennsylvania, removed children from Haiti—illegally—and transported them back to the US.
Diane Paul, an expert on human rights in disaster zones at the Brookings Institution in Washington, said at the time, according to the Telegraph, "These people were well-intentioned but they were taking children out of the country without the right permission and that just shouldn't happen. Political pressure should not be used to take children in violation of regulations."
As DM notes, Wikileaks emails sent during the crisis reveal that in behind-the-scenes discussion of Rendell's Haitian efforts, Hillary Clinton's aides characterized Rendell as extremely motivated to remove the children from Haiti as quickly as possible. The discussion included statements by Clinton aides showing an awareness that the children Rendell sought to fly from the earthquake-ravaged island nation included 12 minors who were not involved in any adoption process.
Excerpt from Wikileaks-published email showing discussion of Rendell's efforts to remove orphans from Haiti
Rendell was so eager to take these children out of Haiti, that Clinton's aides noted that the Secretary of State herself may be the only person capable of stopping him. "The only person who may be able to back Rendell off is Secretary Clinton. Has anyone looped Cheryl Mills in on this issue?" the email read.
But it gets worse. As DM reports:
Rendell's intervention in Haiti was not the only human trafficking scandal tied to the former DNC Chair. Bloomberg reported on allegations of "systemic human smuggling" of forced laborers and money laundering documented in relation to a Saipan casino project by Hong Kong-based Imperial Pacific, controlled by Chinese billionaire Cui Lijie. The New York Times wrote that Rendell served on the company's Advisory Committee. Bloomberg reported that others involved with Imperial Pacific included former Directors of the FBI and CIA, former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour and a former executive in President Donald Trump's Atlantic City casino business.
Given the bombshell evidence presented by Bucceroni and delivered by Disobedient Media, which is backed up by massive amounts of evidence, the idea that someone could easily dismiss the allegations of rampant child trafficking among America's elite as a conspiracy theory is irresponsible at best, and complicit at worst.
On multiple occasions, the Free Thought Project has reported interviews of former child sex trafficking victims who've all noted—just like Bucceroni—that they had nowhere to go as police and high-level politicians all took place in the abuse.
In case after case, the Free Thought Project reports on horrifying instances of child sex rings that were allowed to go on for decades because politicians — including heads of states — policemen, clergy, and others were all in on the sick game.
This can no longer go on. As DM so eloquently put it, The Huffington Post recently wrote of the Weinstein scandal: "Since Harvey Weinstein's downfall, we as a society have apparently decided to try this radical new idea called "believing women." We propose that as a society we also try the radical idea of believing the children.

George Bernard Shaw Gets a Musical Treatment at GableStage
Hilary Saunders
Hilary Saunders | March 24, 2016 | 11:05am
For a play set in the 19th Century, George Bernard Shaw's Candida is frighteningly still relevant. Throughout his life, the Irish playwright and critic harbored allegiances to Marxism, gradualism, and, eventually, Fabian Socialism. And during his writing career, Shaw often wrote versions of himself or interpretations of his ideals into his characters.
Although Shaw's original play is considered one of his best, its narrative — imbued with an element of sociopolitical discourse — doesn't seem like strong musical fodder. Yet, in 2011, the musical adaption, A Minister's Wife, opened off-Broadway in New York. Set in London during the same period as the original tale, A Minister's Wife tells the story of the socialist reverend James Morrell, his strong-willed wife Candida, and the romantic, idealistic poet Eugene Marchbanks. The poet, infatuated with the reverend's wife, tries to persuade Candida to leave her husband. Naturally, a love triangle ensues.
This week, A Minister's Wife opens at GableStage at the Biltmore.
Musicals are rare for the theater. A Minister's Wife is not only the third presentation of GableStage's 2015-16 season but also only the third musical the company has done in 18 years, says producing artistic director Joseph Adler.

At GableStage, Stalking the Bogeyman Takes on Taboos
"It's very challenging music," Adler says over the phone from his office the day before the company was set to begin tech rehearsals. "These are not easy lyrics or easy melodies to sing. It's not your conventional melodic musical... The music advances the story line and develops character."
Yet the style of the music and the content of the narrative flow logically and easily. Bookwriter Austin Pendleton (along with music by Joshua Schmidt and lyrics by Jan Levy Tranen) distills the essence of Shaw to just one act than runs 90 minutes. Locally, set designer Lyle Baskin and costume designer Ellis Tillman re-create a period piece with both elegance and relevance.
"This piece — even though it takes place at the end of 19th Century — is as timely as could be because it deals with a reverend who is a socialist, a Fabian socialist," Adler says. "This issue of socialism is very prominent in our political discussion these days because we have an avowed socialist running for office. And that in itself is very unusual. Then, of course, we have the other issue of people asking if we're moving too far in that direction."
So basically, Shaw's romantic tales and political opinions predated our modern-day standards of feminism, use of Tinder, and popularizing of Bernie Sanders. That's why Adler believes A Minister's Wife will resonate with contemporary audiences.
"I don't think anyone can say the issues this reverend brings up and what he stands for are not just as topical and just as meaningful today as they were in England at the turn of the century. And I don't mean the 20th or the 21st. I mean the 18th or the 19th Century!" he exclaims. "It's pretty interesting... There are not too many plays that come from that period and were written that long ago that happen to be dealing with issues we're dealing with today."

A Matter of Love
Colin Wiseman / 6 min de lecture / Ski/snowboard, Activisme
Marie-France Roy on speaking up for our home planet.
A pre-dawn departure leads to tree line for first light. With a clear day on the horizon, Marie-France Roy and Kael Martin set their sights on backcountry chutes, while on a hut trip in British Columbia's Coast Mountains. Photo: Colin Wiseman
Marie-France Roy wasn't always a voice for the environment.
Through the 2000s, as she became one of the top snowboarders in the world, Marie carried a guilty conscience regarding the hypocrisy of her globetrotting lifestyle. Although she pushed herself in the mountains, she avoided risk in the public eye. She kept quiet because she feared the backlash of standing up for nature when her own environmental impact could be easily measured in film clips from far-flung locales. But in the past decade she's found her voice, despite the criticism she knew would come with it—from strangers, friends, even her own family.
"In recent years, my tolerance for risk in the mountains has become quite low," Marie says. "I want to ride powder for a long time, and I want everybody in our group to have a good experience. Sometimes I do push myself, still. Then I ask, 'Is the reward worth the possible consequences?'"
She asked the same question of environmental advocacy.

"Ever since I was a child, I've known that preserving the natural world would be the biggest challenge of my generation," Marie says. "I studied ecology in college, but then my snowboard career took off. When I broke my neck in 2010, I had time to think during the recovery. I realized that we get so much out of the mountain experience for our own selves, and it only makes sense to be willing to take some risk in order to protect it."
To Marie, environmental advocacy became a necessary act. Indeed, the risk of keeping quiet is now what scares her the most.
In 2016, while filming for Full Moon, a two-year project that documented the most legendary of female snowboarders from the sport's past and present, Marie rides Triple Shot out of Haines, Alaska. Photo: Ben Girardi
As a child growing up in rural Quebec, Marie spent most of her time outdoors. She noticed the difference between the water in the woods behind her house—"so full of life"—and the trash-filled ditches in the concrete landscape of the city: "It felt dead and stagnant, solely due to human development. I was probably 5 years old and I could see we were not working in harmony with nature," she says.
When her pro snowboarding career took off, "I needed something more to give me a sense of purpose," Marie says. "After my injury, I realized that nobody's perfect and we have to encourage political change in order to save the environment. We have to let go of our guilt and activate as a society."
By activating, she means empowering ourselves through education and participation in a community of individuals committed to the cause. She means accepting that some folks will question your daily behavior, but moving past the noise to pursue lasting change.
"I get called out all the time, whether it's people making 'green' jokes at dinner, or a stranger sending me a message asking why I still drive a car," Marie says. "There's a lot of resentment when you put yourself out there and fight for something."
Yet Marie decided to use her public presence to speak up. She produced and released The Little Things (2014), a pro-environment snowboarding film. Then she won the Climate Activist Award in 2015 from Protect Our Winters and TransWorld SNOWboarding. Of course, there were critics.
"A well-known snowboard photographer—a friend of mine—immediately commented on a post about the award: 'Stop trying to make yourself look green,'" Marie says. "People see that criticism and wonder if it's the right path to speak up for the environment themselves. It hurt, having a friend question my character like that when I'm trying to send a positive message."
Do as your dwelling does—less harm, more good. Marie, in her 400-square-foot cob house near Ucluelet, British Columbia, brewing ideas for the Westcoast Triple Plank, a surf, skate and snow fundraiser she hosts every May to benefit the Central Westcoast Forest Society. Photo: Graeme Owsianski
Although such attacks are commonplace in Marie's life, she ramped up her conservation efforts. She took steps in her personal life—traveling less, building a cob house with an elaborate composting system, installing solar panels and biogas processing and more—and further engaged with effective organizations like Protect Our Winters (she's been a board member for POW Canada since its inception in 2018). This has produced tension in her personal relationships.
Recently, she had a falling out with a family member over her ongoing advocacy efforts. Marie continues to act as a voice for change because she wants to measure her life by how much she cared for the planet.
"I have to do something," Marie says. "I think about it like this: what am I going to be the proudest of on my deathbed? It's not going to be about how much money I made. It's not going to be about me at all—it's going to be about how much I went out of my way to help others, the world, and things that provide harmony within it."

Marie acknowledges that not everyone has abundant free time to focus on advocacy. Still, she feels everyone can have a voice. She recognizes that true change requires engagement throughout society and is not an individualistic act. And it might even be personally rewarding.
"Going to rallies, activating with a like-minded group, you can build the connections and build a community and realize that we're in this fight together—collectively, we can be the voice for change," Marie says. "That's what we need to do to put pressure on politicians and corporations to change the way our society operates. There's no one right way to be an activist, and everyone needs to find their own comfort level and act in a way that fits their own life. Like in the mountains, if you don't have the right partners, you find people who empower and support you. There will be roadblocks and disappointments and critics, and you may have to take some risks. But how many times have you had to turn around in the mountains, in your personal life, and go back to try again?"

In 2017, Marie acted locally to empower new voices by creating her own annual event at home on British Columbia's Vancouver Island, the Westcoast Triple Plank. It's a three-day spring gathering of surf, skate and snow, along with an afternoon of hands-in-the-dirt volunteer work with the event's main benefactor, the Central Westcoast Forest Society. She's recognized the connection between outdoor sports and a love of the environment, and has offered inclusivity as a stepping stone toward organized action. The approach mirrors the balance she's found necessary in her own life. This past winter, Marie rode her snowboard as much as possible, spending most of her winter close to home in British Columbia's Coast Mountains. And she did it without any guilt.
"When I'm in the mountains, I remember why I care," Marie says. "It reminds me that I need to do something to protect this place that gives me so much, that the biggest risk is knowing what's happening to our climate and not doing anything about it. Snowboarding keeps me passionate and wanting to protect nature because I love it, truly."

In late December 2014, President Obama signed the ABLE Act into law. Under this law, beginning in 2015 states will be allowed to set up ABLE account programs very similar to the way they operate tax-favored 529 college savings plans. Relatives or friends can make annual contributions to an ABLE account up to the maximum federal tax-free gift limit. That's $14,000 for 2015, with the limit adjusted annually for inflation.
Similar to the gift tax law, these contributions are not tax-free or tax-deductible for the donor. They are, however, exempt from the gift tax. States can decide if they will exempt contributions from state taxes.
Withdrawals for qualified expenses will be tax-free on the federal level. The ABLE Act covers education, transportation, assistive technology, employment, health care and housing costs.
The ABLE Act amends Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Service Code of 1986 to create tax-free savings accounts for individuals with disabilities. Find more information here.

Documenting Gender
Dean SpadeFollow
This article analyzes gender reclassification policies, which determine when an administrative agency will record a change to an individual's gender marker. It's analysis takes place in three policy contexts: placement in gender-segregated facilities, changing gender marker on IDs, state provision of healthcare that prohibit gender discrimination on the record for those seeking care. It looks at the significant variation in these policies across agencies to demonstrate the instability of gender as a category of identity verification. The article also asks whether the assumed usefulness of gender for identity tracking in the variety of state programs reviewed is well-founded, and it places these concerns in the context of the "War on Terror," which has included many policy innovations aimed at standardizing recordkeeping and surveillance nationally.

Just like water puts out the fire, anger arises from fire so naturally it needs water to 'put it out.'
About Muhammad
5 Tips from Prophet Muhammad on How to Put Out That Fire
Follow the Sunnah for a Better Ummah
Suzana Nabil Saad, MA
"Something is different about you Adrian. You seem calmer, more at peace with yourself."
"I found my call in Islam." Adrian replied.
"Wait, what? I did not see that coming?"
His best friend Mark had known him since forever. They grew up together and knew pretty much everything about each other.
What Mark knew best about Adrian was his anger issues. He totally sucks at suppressing his anger. So if Adrian becoming Muslim meant he would be of a more tranquil nature, Mark was thinking maybe it was good for him after all.
Why Do People Get Angry?
People usually get angry for reasons such as frustration, helplessness, injustice, severe pain, etc. Also, some people are more tense by nature.
Something might trigger a reaction as well, such as a family member or friend commenting on something or even for no reason whatsoever.
Once you fall prey to your anger and choose to act out; shouting and perhaps even getting verbally or physically abusive is when things get bad. You choose to give in to your weakness instead of trying to be forbearing. Self-control is key here.
That is why Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) described the true strength of a person as:
The strong person is not he who has physical strength but who can control his anger. (Al-Bukhari)
Why Suppress Your Anger?
Let's face it, most people choose not to suppress their anger as it is so much easier to just lose it when you get angry. Controlling that fume is so much harder. Let's explore the benefits though of suppressing that anger; you will realize it is more of a win win situation.
Allah praises those who restrain anger:
Those who spend freely, whether in prosperity, or in adversity; who restrain anger, and pardon all men; for Allah loves those who do good. (Quran 3:134)
Tips From the Sunnah on Suppressing Anger
Tip 1: Seek Refuge with Allah
In a hadith reported by Al Bukhari, a companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him) by the name Sulayman Ibn Sard said:
"I was sitting with the Prophet (peace be upon him) , and two men were slandering one another. One of them was red in the face, and the veins on his neck were standing out. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
I know a word which, if he were to say it, what he feels would go away. If he said "I seek refuge with Allah from the Shaytan," what he feels (i.e., his anger) would go away.
Tip 2: Shift Your Posture
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
If one of you gets angry and he is standing, then he should sit down until his anger subsides. If it does not, then he should lie down. (Abu Dawud)
This has an amazing effect on diverting one's attention away from what is angering them.
Tip 3: Perform Ablution
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) recommended:
When anyone of you gets angry, let him perform ablution because anger arises from fire. (Abu Dawud)
Just like water puts out the fire, anger arises from fire so naturally it needs water to 'put it out.' It has an extraordinary healing effect to the raving anger.
Tip 4: Be Quiet
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised:
…When you get angry, be quiet.
Once a word is uttered you can not take it back. Unfortunately, the most hurtful words are uttered under rampant anger. Staying quiet is a priceless advice.
Tip 5: Say I'm Fasting
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had a tip for Ramadan as well:
If you are fasting and somebody tried to insult you or offend you, you should say I'm fasting.
In Ramadan some people could get extra sensitive due to lack of sleep and/or hunger. "I'm fasting" is a reminder that one should remain in a state of self-control so as to attain piety.
Stories From the Past
In a hadith narrated in Muslim, a companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him) named Abu Ma'ud Al Badri said:
"I was hitting a slave of mine when I heard a voice behind me saying:
Know Abu Mas'ud, Know Abu Mas'ud.
I did not comprehend the words as angry as I was until the voice got closer. I turned around and it was the Prophet (peace be upon him) saying:
Know Abu Mas'ud that Allah is mightier on you than you are on this boy.
Abu Mas'ud replied that the boy is therefore a free-man. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him that if he did not do just that, then he would have been touched by the fire of hell".
A man said to the Prophet:
"Advise me!"
The Prophet said:
Do not get angry.
The man asked (the same) again and again, and the Prophet said each time:
Do not get angry. (Al-Bukhari)
SubhanAllah, the true date of Laylatul Qadr was withheld because of an argument that took place between two Muslim men! 'Ubaadah bin 'Saamit said:
'Once the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came out to inform us the true date of Laylatul Qadr. (Unfortunately at that time) an argument took place between two Muslim men, whereupon he said:
I came out in order to inform you as to when Laylatul Qadr was, but because two people argued (the fixing of the correct date) was taken away. Perhaps that is better for you. So seek it among the ninth, seventh and fifth nights. (Reported in Mishkaat)
Stories From the Present
A Muslim mother-of-four whose veil was ripped off by a convicted racist has pleaded for her attacker's freedom after she discovered he had cancer.
"I did not realize the man had cancer. I don't want him to go to prison," 39-year-old victim, who was not identified, told The Daily Mirror on Tuesday, March 21.
"I would like the judge to bear that in mind when he does sentence him."
(Muslim Mum Pleads for Her Attacker's Freedom)
Esma Ali, a Muslim woman living in Monrovia, was interrogated as a suspect for committing crimes, as she walked down her neighborhood wearing a hijab one day. These were crimes Esma felt she never could have imagined committing! What shocked the officers was Esma's response, rather than holding a grudge against the officers, she decided to hold a "Thank You" event for the officers because of the dignity they showed her.
(Muslim Woman Thanks Monrovia Officers That Stopped Her)
Anger is the root of all evil. Nothing good comes out of anger but all goodness comes out of self-control. It only takes seconds to create a huge problem out of anger. How many times have you regretted over its' consequences? On the other hand, I am sure you have never regretted being patient.
Follow The Sunnah of Suppressing Your Anger For a Better Ummah.

Novomatic drops G2E Asia, only attending MGS
Dec 22, 2015 Newsdesk Latest News, Macau, Top of the deck
Austria-based gaming equipment maker Novomatic AG has announced that over the next three years it will only attend one of the two annual gaming trade shows currently taking place in Macau. The firm said in a release it had decided to commit itself to the Macao Gaming Show and would not be attending Global Gaming Expo (G2E) Asia.
"Following the recent Macao Gaming Show, Novomatic announced its intention to take the lead in making a decision which currently all major companies that exhibit each year in Macau are facing: namely, choosing one or the other of the two current annual Macau shows," Novomatic said in a statement issued on Monday.
It added: "Following a period of evaluation, Novomatic has made its decision to commit to the Macao Gaming Show for the next three years."
Although Novomatic is reportedly the first large gaming supplier to announce publicly a decision to attend only one of the two Macau trade shows for the casino industry, several industry insiders have privately told GGRAsia that one event would be enough to serve the Asian market.
"International trade shows are often described as the 'lifeblood' of the gaming industry, providing clear opportunities for exhibiting companies not only to display their latest product innovations but also to meet with both existing and potential customers," stated Novomatic. "But, in a time of cost consciousness, it is clear that making a choice between the two events currently based in Macau (a market that is now universally acknowledged to only require one show per year) is on the current agenda of the majority," added the firm in the Monday release.
Novomatic said its decision had been made "based purely on an extensive evaluation of visitor demand as well as future growth potential and market significance of the trade show".
The company opted for a three-year commitment to exhibit at MGS in conjunction with Jade Entertainment and Gaming Technologies Inc, and Laxino Systems Ltd. The Jade group is the distributor of Novomatic products in Asia including Macau, and Laxino Systems is Jade Entertainment and Gaming Technologies' Macau partner and representative there. The Novomatic brand will nonetheless have its own presence at MGS.
"Novomatic's confidence in [the] Macao Gaming Show reflects the hard work that we have put in over the years to bring the Macau government on board as vital supporters and sponsors of our show, as well as the backing of the leading 100 gaming and entertainment companies in Macau and Asia," Jay Chun, chairman of MGS's organiser the Macau Gaming Equipment Manufacturers Association (MGEMA), was quoted saying in Novomatic's release.
He added: "This announcement heralds the beginning of the next and most crucial stage of Macao Gaming Show's development: working with our partners – the Macao government, Novomatic, Macau's [casino] concessionaires and MGEMA members – in opening up the Asian industry to the world."
The 2015 edition of the Macao Gaming Show saw attendance rise 10 percent compared to the prior-year edition, with a total of 13,186 attendees recorded, according to the association. There was a record number of exhibitors – 168 in total – up by 22 in comparison with the previous edition, it added. The Macao Gaming Show was launched in 2013.
Shortly after the end of this year's event, the organisers had stated that Macao Gaming Show was to move to October for its 2016 edition. But shortly after, it was announced it would after all be held in November as have previous editions.
G2E Asia is presented annually in May by the American Gaming Association (AGA) and managed by Reed Exhibitions. The 2016 edition is scheduled to take place between May 17 and 19.
G2E Asia is a sister event to G2E, a U.S.-based trade show and conference focusing on the global casino industry. The latter is held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada, usually in the late September.
The 2015 edition of G2E Asia was the largest ever, measured by attendance, co-organiser Reed Exhibitions said in July. The event attracted a "record-breaking attendance of 10,095 visitors from 79 countries and regions, along with 185 exhibiting companies," Reed Exhibitions said in a press release. It added that the figures had been audited by a third party organisation. The 2014 edition of G2E Asia had recorded more than 8,200 visitors, according to Reed Exhibitions. A total of 160 exhibitors took part in the 2014 event.
G2E Asia made its debut at Macau Tower in 2007. The annual exhibition has been held at the Venetian Macao since 2008. The latter venue also hosts the Macao Gaming Show.
Novomatic said in its press release that it welcomed the decision from the Macao Gaming Show organisers to keep the event in November. Novomatic noted it was "a date that places the show at a comfortable… distance from G2E Las Vegas for visitors from across the entire Asian region and beyond."

Pressure group, the Malaita Ma'asina Forum, MMF, has described the launching of a new political party called the Melanesian Party as "funny looking".
The newly formed political party was launched at the Pacific Casino Hotel in Honiara last Sunday.
MMF President Charles Dausabea said subscribing to a political party in the Solomon Islands by any Melanesian country would be infringing upon the country's sovereignty.
He called on the leaders of Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and Fiji not to subscribe to the idea of joining a political party in the Solomon Islands.
Mr Dausabea said they would never question an established relationship of such if it was created a few years back.
But he said the fact that this came only before the dissolution of Parliament is "funny looking".
SIBC News hopes to run comments from the newly launched party's President in a separate bulletin this week.

Family wants to find people who helped save daughter 21 years ago
Dave Stewart · Journalist | Posted: Sept. 13, 2018, 4:55 p.m. | Updated: Sept. 14, 2018, 7:27 a.m. | 3 Min Read
Emma Taylor, 11 days old, is pictured at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital after experiencing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The family is now trying to track down the people who helped to save Taylor's life. - Contributed
WESTVILLE, N.S. - Mary Taylor will never forget the terror that came over her 21 years ago when she realized her daughter wasn't breathing.
Taylor was driving to their home in Freetown from Charlottetown, with her 11-day-old girl and her sister-in-law, Wendy, when she realized something was terribly wrong.
Taylor remembers exactly where it happened and when. They were on Route 2 just outside Springvale on July 27, 1997.
"It was absolute terror,'' Mary said. "I was in the backseat with her, so I noticed that she just wasn't behaving normally. I wiped her face with a cloth and she didn't move. It was a hot day and I was trying to cool her down.
"Then, I started doing the flicking and pinching (thing) and trying to get her to move and that's when I noticed her lips were a little blue. That's when I started yelling at my sister-in-law to pull over. It was terrifying, absolutely terrifying. It was definitely a life-changing moment.''
Wendy started performing artificial respiration on Emma while Mary attempted to flag down motorists on the highway. Quickly, two vehicles pulled over.
Mary believes one woman was a nurse but knows she definitely had medical training.
"She knew what she was doing. She started doing some artificial respiration on her as well, checking her pulse and did some other first aid.''
In the other vehicle that stopped was an older couple from Kensington who offered to drive them to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital "because now we had a little group of people and we only had a car''.
The nurse continued to check on Emma's vitals, telling Mary that she was getting a really low pulse to comfort the anxious mother.
"It wasn't until we got to the hospital . . . and laid her on a gurney that Emma started to cry. At that moment, I was able to breathe again.''
Now, Emma and her parents, Mary and Shawn, who live in Westville, N.S., want to find the people who stopped to help that day.
"It was such an overwhelming time that I never got anyone's names other than very minor details about who they were,'' said Mary.
Emma Taylor
Emma Taylor told The Guardian that she's always had the incident in the back of her mind.
"I want to meet these people,'' Emma said. "Not only did they save my life, but they also saved my parents. I know that if I had died that day it would have completely ruined them and I'm not sure my younger sister, Grace, would exist because of the loss that they would have gone through.''
After many tests and consultations with specialists, it was determined the most likely cause of Emma's unresponsiveness was that she had suffered a SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) event that was somehow caught and reversed by everyone involved.
"I am grateful and truly thankful to everyone involved that day,'' said Emma.
The family is now reaching out through social media and the media to try to find the people who helped out that fateful day to thank them.
They thought about doing it a year ago on the 20th anniversary, but time got away from them.
"We thought about it from their point of view,'' Mary said. "If we were ever involved in something like that we would like to know what the rest of the story was. We'd like them to know that she's good and wonderful and grew up to be a wonderful young lady.''
Emma is in her last year in the bachelor of science program at UPEI and will move to Dalhousie next year to take her masters. Her goal is to go into occupational therapy.
Anyone who has any information as to the identity of the people who helped out that day is asked to email the family at [email protected] or call 902-396-1499 or reach out to Shawn on Facebook.

California Wildfires Make Run Toward Giant Sequoia Groves
Crews were watching the weather this weekend as they battled California wildfires that have burned into some groves of ancient sequoias as they try to protect the world's largest tree.
The National Weather Service issued a weather watch for critical fire conditions in Sequoia National Park in the Sierra Nevada, where two lightning-caused fires merged Friday. The fire reached the western tip of the Giant Forest, where it burned four sequoias known as the Four Guardsmen that flank the road into the grove of 2,000 sequoias.
The extent of the fire's damage to the trees has not been determined.
Firefighters have wrapped the base of the General Sherman Tree, along with other trees in the Giant Forest, in fire-resistant aluminum of the type used in wildland firefighter emergency shelters and to protect historic wooden buildings, fire spokeswoman Katy Hooper said.
The General Sherman Tree is the largest in the world by volume, at 1,487 cubic meters (52,508 cubic feet), according to the National Park Service. It towers 84 meters (275 feet) high and has a circumference of 31 meters (103 feet) at ground level.
The fires, known together as the KNP Complex, burned 72 square kilometers (28 square miles) of forest land after making a significant run Friday. Low-hanging smoke that had choked off air and limited the fire's growth in recent days lifted, and gusts increased fire activity, particularly near the Giant Forest, Hooper said.
Crews scramble
The flames chased away firefighters who were wrapping the sequoias in aluminum and clearing vegetation on the forest floor that would intensify fire close to the trees, Hooper said. A hotshot crew was assessing conditions near the Four Guardsmen on Saturday morning to determine whether firefighters could safely go back and continue the work, she said.
The fires forced the evacuation of the park this week, and parts of Three Rivers, a foothill community of about 2,500 people outside the park's main entrance. Crews have been bulldozing a line between the fire and the community.
The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning through Sunday, saying some gusts and lower humidity could create conditions for rapid wildfire spread.
However, fire officials weren't expecting the kinds of explosive, wind-driven growth that in recent months turned Sierra Nevada blazes into monsters that devoured hundreds of homes.
Giant sequoias are adapted to fire, which can help them thrive by releasing seeds from their cones and creating clearings that allow young sequoias to grow. But the extraordinary intensity of fires — fueled by climate change — can overwhelm the trees.
"Once you get fire burning inside the tree, that will result in mortality," said Jon Wallace, the operations section chief for the KNP Complex.
The fires have burned into several groves containing trees as tall as 61 meters (200 feet) and 2,000 years old.
To the south, the Windy Fire grew to 50 square kilometers (19 square miles) on the Tule River Indian Reservation and in Giant Sequoia National Monument, where it has burned into the Peyrone grove of sequoias and threatens others.
The fire also had reached Long Meadow Grove, where two decades ago then-President Bill Clinton signed a proclamation establishing its Trail of 100 Giant Sequoias as a national monument.
Fire officials haven't yet been able to determine how much damage was done to the groves, which are in remote areas. They said crews were "doing everything they can" to protect the trail by removing needles, leaves and other fuels from around the base of the trees.
Thousands lost in 2020
Last year, the Castle Fire killed an estimated 7,500 to 10,600 large sequoias, according to the National Park Service. That was an estimated 10% to 14% of all the sequoias in the world.
The current fires are eating through tinder-dry timber, grass and brush.
In far Northern California, an early-season rain was a welcome sign for firefighters battling a cluster of wildfires ignited by lightning in the Klamath National Forest in late July. Fire officials say it won't extinguish the nearly 772-square-kilometer (300-square-mile) blaze but will help crews reach their goal.
Light rain is expected in the coastal area north of San Francisco over the weekend, but forecasters say conditions are likely to dry out by early next week, prompting a fire weather watch that may lead to power shutoffs in Napa, Sonoma and Solano counties.
Historic drought tied to climate change is making wildfires harder to fight. It has killed millions of trees in California alone. Scientists say climate change has made the West much warmer and drier in the past 30 years and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive.
More than 7,000 wildfires in California this year have damaged or destroyed more than 3,000 homes and other buildings and torched well over 3,000 square miles (7,770 square kilometers) of land, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Lamhe ( Hindi: लम्हे, translation: Moments) is a 1991 Hindi film directed by Yash Chopra and starring Sridevi and Anil Kapoor. The story was written by Honey Irani. It was inspired from the 1986 film Anokha Rishta starring Rajesh Khanna.
Lamhe was shot in two schedules in Rajasthan and London. Over the years it has been hailed as a classic and is regarded as a modern masterpiece and possibly Yash Chopra's finest film. Sridevi received acclaim for her double role, winning the Filmfare Award for Best Actress. Although a commercial failure in India, it became a success in the UK.

On the occasion of the Centenary of Indian Cinema in 2013, Lamhe featured among the Top Ten Romantic Movies of 100 years.

Love the remake of Telugu blockbuster Prema starring Venkatesh and Revathi. It could not repeat the success of the original and ended up as an average grosser. The makers changed the tragic climax from the original film to one with a happy ending.
