The Statement below, a reaction to the Financial Times Article 'Somali Lessons for Afghanistan', comes from UNPO Project Coordinator for Brussels, Mr. Andrew Swan, reminding readers that Democracy, Good Governance and the Rule of Law Does exist in the Horn of Africa.
Sir, Gideon Rachman ("Somali lessons for Afghanistan", July 27) fails to recognise that within the borders of failed Somalia there is a successful state-building exercise: Somaliland.
Born out of lengthy talks in the 1990s, a grassroots democratic movement has created a moderate Islamic state of the kind the west dreams about. The success of this de facto state is the most real demonstration available today that, instead of imposing external puppets or models of governance, the west must listen to, and do more to further without compromising, the moderate voices in Somaliland and Afghanistan.
Just as the success of Somaliland goes sorely neglected, so moderate Afghan voices such as Ramazan Bashardost, the "Afghan Gandhi", should be given more credit and, consequently, more credibility in national and international circles.
Only by supporting such examples of budding good governance, democracy and rule of law can the war against extremism be won.


Filloux's plays explore social justice from a global perspective, with a focus on Western liberalism. Themes of 'honour killing', the Khmer Rouge genocide, human responsibility in the face of lawlessness, and women's rights are treated with a lyricism that is at once anguished, brutal and poetic. In her plays, Filloux places the personal in the political using imaginative and evocative theatricality. Her characters look through to other worlds, illuminating the complexity of different cultures and the difficulty of seeking justice. A collection of five new plays by Catherine Filloux, with introductions for each play by the leading scholars who provide context and commentary on the range of Filloux's drama. Lemkin's House is a surreal portrait of Raphael Lemkin, the man who coined the word genocide. In The Beauty Inside, Filloux places the audience in the midst of a culture war after an attempted 'honour killing'. In Eyes of the Heart, a Cambodian refugee woman suffers from psychosomatic blindness. Silence of God depicts America's complicity through the eyes of a journalist, at the end of the Pol Pot leadership. Mary and Myra is a play about one woman (Mary Todd Lincoln) damned by her reputation, saved by one (Myra Badwell) who was damned into obscurity.
Catherine Filloux is an award-winning playwright who has been writing about genocide, human rights and social justice for the past 20 years. She is a co-founder of Theatre Without Borders, a volunteer organization engaged in international theatre exchange. Her awards include the PeaceWriting Award, Roger L. Stevens Award, Eric Kocher Playwrights Award (O'Niell) and the Callaway Award.

by Skip Barber of Lakeville, Conn.
Responding to Antonia Shoumatoff's August 2 story, "Noise and Nuisance: How Lime Rock and Amenia are responding," it's important to point out two things that were not reported.
First, the story failed to tell the readers exactly how many Sunday afternoons Lime Rock is asking for. Without that number, a reader can't be faulted for deducing it might be every Sunday, which is not the case.
The number of Sunday afternoons Lime Rock Park is asking for is two.
Our asking for two Sundays afternoons would not materially increase the total number of noisy hours. For example, one of the two Sunday afternoons would be used for Sunday of Memorial Day weekend: We would take the nine hours that we traditionally use on Monday, and instead use three of them on Friday or Saturday, and use the other six hours on Sunday afternoon. Memorial Day Monday would become a quiet day.
Second, regarding Music Mountain... We love Music Mountain. Their cultural contribution to the area over the past 87 years is unequalled and unquestioned; the last thing Lime Rock wants to do is harm Music Mountain.
So with respect to the one Sunday afternoon (of the two we are asking for) in the season that Music Mountain conducts its concerts, we would request a change of the start time of that one concert to 6:00 p.m.
Lime Rock would pay Music Mountain the difference in revenue if it suffered decreased sales for that concert due to the change of that start time. Lime Rock would also be happy help promote their new Saturday evening jazz concerts.

Virginia v Texas Tech Live!
Will try to keep up to date on how our entries are doing as the game progresses!
17.0: Virginia 81-75 (Virginia had an 11-0 run). 156 points was improbable 2 hours ago. All tiebreakers won now when Virginia wins.
31.2: Virginia ball! They lead 77-73 (150). With free throws, 79-73 (152).
1:06: Geez, if it's that close, keep the call on the court. Virginia 75-73 (148). Oy, they overturned the call, now Virginia ball.
2:45 left OT: Texas Tech leads 73-72. Projection 154.
End of regulation: 68-68, 136 points. Boy that last second took forever. Texas Tech shot was blocked. With projection of 153 points, if Texas Tech wins, Kds911 (>=138) would win 2nd and FortressHoops3 (>=148) would win 5th and TJ (150-153, ties 154) would win Bonus. If Virginia wins, Kds911 (>=138) would win 1st and FortressHoops3 (>=148) would win 3rd, Agnes Schweitzhoffer (>=135) would win 6th and Kai Pomeroy would win Bonus (>=151, Ties 150). This is the 8th OT final (first since '08).
12.9: A 3 up, we're tied! 68 all. That's 136 points. At least one more point needs to be scored for 137. Or we go to overtime!
22.5: Texas Tech up 3 68-65.
35.1: Timeout! Texas Tech up 66-65! That's 131 points. 4 more and a Virginia win gives Agnes Schweitzhoffer 6th and MistressNine would be in line for the Bonus (135-139).
1:31: Timeout! Virginia 65-64. 129 points now! 134 projected! One more point and Philly Eagles Again would get 6th (tied 129, 130-134) if Virginia holds on.
2:38: 61 all. Virginia is only the second team to score 60 or more points against Texas Tech in tournament. Projected 131.
3:28: And we're tied at 59! 129 projected points. If Texas Tech wins, this is Netflower's limit, if it goes to 130 then Fire Bill Self is poised to win Bonus (130-136, ties at 137).
4:47: 1st forced timeout called by Virginia leading 59-53. Projected 127, giving BamaG consternation (needs <=128 to win 6th, 129 would cause a tie) if Virginia ends up winning .
7:23: Virginia 55-47. Projected 125. Can The Gambler 2 smell first place (easily winning tiebreaker now by 12)? Samurai Jack would get 5th. BamaG would barely win the tiebreaker for 6th. Agnes Schweitzhoffer would win the Bonus (winning tiebreaker now by 9).
10:20: 10 point Virginia lead 53-43. Projected 129.
11:24: Virginia 50-41. No fast break points so neither team has needed to call a timeout to stall a run. Projected still 127. Virginia hitting 49% of their shots.
13:00: 3 straight 3's combined by both teams. 45-41 Virginia. 127 projected points.
15:15 left (2nd half): Texas Tech's Jarrett Culver finally hits a field goal (1/9). Virginia 42-33. 121 projected points.
Half: The teams did combine for 51 points in the last 13 minutes, which would project to 157 so maybe second half will be exciting.
Half: Virginia 32-29. Projected 122 points. Virginia has won last 61 games when leading at the half. Incredible.
3:57: Virginia 25-24. Projected 123. Who will win their first title? Oh, besides the pool, which team will win their first title?
6:00: 21-21. Going up, now 120 pts projected.
7:55: Picking up now. Virginia 19-16. Virginia had a 10 point lead. Now projected 116 pts.
12:38: Texas Tech just hit their 1st field goal. Virginia 9-6. Projected 82 pts now.
13:00: Just 7-3 Virginia. That's just 57 points combined. Those who are rooting for low scoring are The Gambler 2 (<=137) and WhereUGoneSteveFisher (<=147) if Texas Tech wins and The Gambler 2 (<=137), WhereUGoneSteveFisher (<=147), and BamaG (<=128) if Virginia wins. For the Bonus, Netflower (<=129) if Texas Tech wins and Agnes Schweitzhoffer (<=134) if Virginia wins.
15:51 left (1st Half): Oy, vey, just 5 points (Texas Tech 3-2 on three free throws). That's only about 48 points total combined at end of the game.
Our 2nd HWCI Women's World Cup Pool Begins in May!
BANC OF CALIFORNIA STADIUM, LOS ANGELES/SANTA BARBARA, CA (smt)- Will this be a Butler-UConn type championship when just 94 points were scored? Texas Tech has held the two Michigans to 44 and 51 points and 6th-best offense in Buffalo to 58 points while Virginia held high scoring Oklahoma and Oregon to 51 and 49 points. Including the tournament, Virginia is #1 in scoring defense (allowing 55.5 pts/game) and Texas Tech is #3 (58.8). Virginia is 7th in 3-point percentage (39.4%) though they take their time taking their shots. Or maybe we'll be surprised and Texas Tech will score something like 78 or 75 like they did vs Buffalo and Gonzaga or Virginia will score 80 like they did against Purdue. Virginia has needed luck at the buzzer twice, scoring a game-tying buzzer beater off a missed free throw against Purdue and a missed double-dribble call and foul on a buzzer-beating 3-point shot against Auburn. Texas Tech has won each game by at least six points with four in double-digits. With all that, Virginia is just a one-point favorite to try to complete the worst-to-first (losing to #16 seed to winning the title) and the over/under is an all-time low of 118 pts. With so many tiebreakers in play for the top 6 and the Bonus, this low over/under is at least 10 points less than the tiebreak point giving those entries who guessed lowest a little buffer.


Mobile advertising network Kiip has forged a partnership with Publicis Groupe-owned agency, VivaKi.
The US mobile ad startup, which enables brands to reward a mobile gamer at the 'achievement moment', with rewards and commercial offers, is now working with VivaKi to help boost 'Mobile Moments' for Publicis Groupe Clients.
VivaKi said it is working closely with Kiip to 'expand and accelerate global publisher relations'.
Managing director at VivaKi Ventures and chief social media officer at VivaKi, Michael Wiley, said as mobile devices become deeply embedded into consumers' everyday lives, it becomes increasingly difficult for brands to create a positive connection with people.
"We always seek to identify emerging partners and solutions that can benefit our broader organisation," Wiley said.
"Kiip provides opportunities to engage consumers at significant 'moments' in their daily activities – whether it be levelling up in a game, crossing an item off a to-do list or completing a workout.
Wiley said Kiip makes it easy to 'add value in the moment', as it rewards users for using apps they love, through non-interruptive experiences in games or apps. It captures users during moments of elation, either with real, tangible rewards or gifts of virtual currency.
As Kiip has worked with many of Publicis Groupe's portfolio brands such as P&G, Mars, Georgia Pacific and more, Wiley said the partnership makes it easy for Publicis Groupe brands to buy moments across the growing mobile ecosystem - as well as have access to first-look and new product opportunities.
Kiip has offices in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, LA, Vancouver, London, Bogota and Tokyo.


School playground equipment grants will provide the community or school to contribute to providing both social and physical benefits for the children or students. As you know, school playground is a big investment, so any form of capital help would be even better.
Children playing in the school playground will have better social skills as the result of playing with other children. These skills include cooperation, compassion, leadership, negotiation, communication, etc. Moreover, the physical challenge of school playground will help these kids healthier. After all, the best work out for children is playing.
That said, getting a grant for this cause still require some efforts since there are many people who have the same ideas as you are. You have to have careful planning and search for suitable funders. A proposal that is in line to the funder's priorities and specs is also important. In this post, you will learn about all of it.
First, you have to have clear information about what you need and the cost needed for the equipment. For example, you can write that you want to install a monkey bar or merry go round, write down the total cost, and add information about the shipping and installation fees that are needed.
Another thing to keep in mind is to provide demographic information about the students of the school, especially if there are a significant handicapped people or high-risk population. This often becomes the funders' target. For example, you want to provide easy access to the playground for minority descendants children in your area.
Have a proper research using an online directory of foundations is a good way to go. Use their search feature and enter the keywords that are related to school (i.e. elementary education, youth, children, playground etc).
Now that you know where to send your grant proposal, you should carefully see their website and learn which way the first contact would be acceptable. Some ask for a full proposal, some may ask for email or letter of inquiry. If not listed, try to send email to them. In that mail, remember to ask whether you are allowed to send a proposal for your school playground project, and don't forget to write down the short version of your project too. If they want to see your proposal, ask if the organization prefers a narrative form of the proposal or a specific application form.
You also have to include the school IRS letter, which will prove that your school has the 501C3 status (tax-exempted).
Last but not least, make sure to follow the timeline provided by the grantmaker. Always send the proposal before the deadline passed. You should also write a thank you note or letter to show your appreciation, regardless you get your grants for school playground equipment or not.

Primroses are one of the first bloomers of spring in cold winter climates, and a bright and welcome sign of warm weather to come. Sometimes, however, you may discover what you thought to be healthy primrose leaves turning yellow, which can put a real damper on an otherwise happy celebration of spring. Keep reading to learn how to treat yellow primrose leaves.
Why are Primrose Leaves Turning Yellow?
Yellowing primrose plants can be attributed to a few causes. One common and easily treated problem is improper watering. Primroses need moist but not waterlogged soil. Make sure to water them regularly, but plant them in soil with good drainage to ensure they don't stand in water, which can cause root rot and yellowing leaves.
By the same token, don't let the soil dry out, as this can cause yellow, brittle leaves. Two exceptions to this basic rule are the Japanese and drumstick primrose, which can both thrive in very wet soil.
Leaves may also turn yellow if your plant is in direct sunlight. Primroses can tolerate direct sun in places with very cool summers but, in most cases, it's best to plant them in partial or filtered sunlight.
Not all causes of yellowing primrose plants are environmental. Various varieties of fungal rot are manifested in the production of smaller leaves that turn yellow and wither quickly. Remove and destroy infected plants to reduce the spread of the rot to healthy plants. Improving drainage may also help combat it.
Leaf spot is another disease that appears as yellow to brown spots on the undersides of leaves. Leaf spot can be combatted by the application of fungicides or the simple removal of infected plants or leaves.
Mosaic virus can be transmitted by aphids and appears as a yellow mottling on leaves that are often very stunted. The virus is not serious but is easily spread, so remove and destroy infected plants to prevent further infestation.


As Christian and Faithful journeyed on, they saw an elevated wooden stage built in the centre of a large field. Around it were gathered the town folk of nearby Endless Distraction. They were seated on chairs they had brought out, and chattered happily before the show began.
Christian and Faithful were curious of this scene and paused to consider it.
"Relief and rest are indeed promised by our Master, but watching others pretend at life is surely not one of the ways He desires us to do so," said Christian.
"Zeal without knowledge is indeed a curse, and we would desire to escape it. But the three giants you mention are but three links of a chain of voices that has never ceased condemning the thing you invite us to partake of," Christian replied.
A wave of doubt seemed to flicker across Christian's face, but it passed and he remained resolute.
Christian marvelled at the throng that was gathered around the stage.
Christian and Faithful moved to where the stage was out of their vision, and the faces of those who gazed were plain and discernible.
The play began. The expressions of the crowd seemed to be connected to marionette strings held by the Stage-master, Manipulus. He could tug up and down, and change them as he wished. At his chosen moment they would laugh. At his chosen moment, they would cry. At his chosen moment, they would tremble. Faithful wondered at how powerful the stage was.
The play came to an end. The crowd cheered, wiped their tears, and shook the hand of Manipulus.
As the town folk departed, they talked longingly about being faithful pilgrims. They spoke of their deep admiration for fearless and guileless travellers to the Celestial City. They agreed how helpful it was to view such things for their inspiration.
And then they all returned to the town of Endless Distraction.

EXCERPT 1 (From the Prologue)
That night, just shy of midnight, she opened the window wide enough for someone to jump through. Dressed in lacy lingerie, she painted her mouth with lipstick. She sprinkled the pillows with drops of the men's cologne. Then she climbed into bed, clutching the telephone in one hand and the meth in the other. And she waited.
Marco came home twenty minutes later. Annie knew he was the plus ten kind of drunk by the way he slammed into the hall table and the subsequent heavy and unsteady footsteps down the hallway as he made his way to the bedroom. She'd invented a scale to gauge Marco's drunkenness. Five was the afternoon kind of drunk while watching football with some of his buddies. He was harmless then, almost playful. Anything above an eight meant that he would have his fists on her before he passed out on the bed.
His footsteps were closer to the bedroom now. She dialed 911, speaking quietly into the phone. "I'm being beaten by my boyfriend. Send police to 8011 Alvarado right away." She hung up, bracing for the worst, hoping they would arrive in time.
Then he was in the doorway, his red eyes scanning the room, taking in the open window, her lingerie, and her painted mouth.
He yanked her from the bed, tearing the front of her nightgown apart so that she was in only her panties. "You little slut. You had someone here? In my bed?" He went to the window, shouting into the night like a crazed animal, "Where is the son of a bitch?" Slamming the window shut and locking it, he turned towards her, utter rage displayed on his now almost purple face. A vein popped from his forehead; his pulse beat wildly at his neck. Then, he lurched towards her, yanking her up by her mane of thick curls. She closed her eyes, knowing the pain was coming, and slipped the meth into his pants pocket.
Please, God, don't let him hurt the baby.
He slammed her against the wall, smashing his fist into her face. She felt blood from her nose mixing with tears she could not control. But she did not cry out. She did not beg him to stop as she sometimes did. This time they were coming. She must hold on until they got here, until they could see what he did to her.
He shook her now so that her teeth rattled inside her head. "What? You're not bothering to lie to me tonight?" He punched her face again, slamming her head against the wall. He tossed her on the floor and straddled her before slamming her head into the floor over and over. Then he was up, leering over her. He kicked her in the side, hard, with the toe of his boot. She cried out from the pain. She moved her hands over her stomach. She couldn't get a breath. Had he cracked her rib? Please, God, protect the baby.
He was on top of her again, slamming her head on the rug.
Next, she heard a loud thump. Was it the sound of the door being kicked in? Yes. That was it. There were footsteps, too. Running feet. They were here. Finally someone would see what he did. Her sight was blurry now, her eyes swollen almost shut and stinging from the blood that dripped into them. But she no longer felt the pain. It was as if she were out of her body now and merely a spectator. And then suddenly Marco was no longer on top of her.
Through her dim vision, she saw there were two of them, dressed in blue uniforms and carrying long black sticks. One of them smacked Marco on the head with his club. Marco cried out and held his head in his hands.
"Check his pants pocket," she managed to croak out.
One pulled Marco's arms behind his back while the other searched his pockets. "Meth," he said, opening the package.
One cop handcuffed him as the other one read him his rights, just like in the movies.
"You piece of shit," said the shorter cop to Marco. "You're going away for this and the drugs."
"The lying whore had a man in here," said Marco. "Everyone knows I have every right to kill the bitch." He turned to look at her. "You'll pay for this if it's the last thing I ever do."
She turned her face away as the cops shoved him towards the door.
An EMT was above her now. He was tan and had blond hair bleached almost white from sun. A surfer, maybe. The pain had found its way back to her consciousness. She moaned as he examined her.
"Bastard broke her arm. And a rib too, I think."
"I didn't have a man here," she whispered.
"It's all right. Don't talk."
"I'm pregnant."
His eyebrows went up and down. There was alarm in his eyes but his voice was soothing. "Okay, kiddo. You're gonna be fine. The ambulance will take you to the hospital."
"I don't have any insurance." Her throat was so dry. If only she had some water.
"Don't worry about it. We'll figure that out later."
"Am I dying?"
"No, you're gonna be fine, kid. Just hang in there." He was gently probing her stomach, his fingers pushing into the extra flesh.
"I'm sorry I'm so fat," she said, tears leaking out the corners of her eyes.
"Shush now. Just stay still. It'll be all right soon."
"Hold my hand until they come?"
"Of course," he said, taking it between both of his. Her hands were the only part of her body that didn't hurt.
"Jesus, what an animal," she heard him say as she felt herself drifting away.
And then it all went black.
GIVEAWAY INFO:

RAFFLECOPTER CODE: Riversong Giveaway
Tess Thompson is a mother before all else, and a writer after that. After honing her craft in theater with a prize-winning play titled My Lady's Hand, her heart was called to a different storytelling medium: the great American novel.
She is currently working on an ambitious historical fiction trilogy inspired by a story from her great-grandmother. The first of these, Riversong (Booktrope Editions), went on to become #1 on Barnes and Noble's Nook Book chart in October 2011. Two years after its release, readership of Riversong continued to grow, spending weeks in the top 100 Kindle bestsellers. The second installment, Riverbend, is scheduled for release in May of 2013.
In March of 2012, Tess was honored to contribute to Write For the Fight, Booktrope's collection of essays reflecting on life's past, present and future. All proceeds from the sales of this collection benefit breast cancer research.
Like her main character in Riversong, Tess hails from a small town in southern Oregon. She currently lives in a suburb of Seattle, Washington with her two young daughters – a card shark working her way toward the tables of Atlantic City, the other a princess in training – and their wild but lovable dog, Patches.

This new Combination Cylinder by Abus is opened using either up to 6 digit combination code, an encrypted electronic key, or proximity chip. The cylinder body is made from stainless steel and is really built to last. Particularly useful in situations where the loss of keys may become an issue, such as in offices, hotels, or other situations where multiple people may be in possession of keys, therefore increasing the chances of ongoing costs of replacing keys.
ABUS is a German manufacturer of preventative security technology as well as a market leader in padlocks and bike locks. August Bremicker & Söhne founded the company in Wetter, Volmarstein, Germany in1924. The company is still family owned and continues to be managed by the 2nd generation Bremicker family. Over the last 90 years, the range of products has increased considerably and today, alongside padlocks, ABUS produce a variety of products including smoke alarms, video surveillance systems, bike and boat security products, alarms and locking systems, including this new and intuitive combination wheel cylinder.
Being IP44 rated the combination code cylinder is suitable for use on most internal doors but we would not recommend use on external doors where it would be exposed to the elements or harsh weather conditions. For main entrances we would recommend perhaps considering a typically more externally graded combination codelock, and use these as an easier and more stylish internal combination lock solution.
The combination code euro cylinder can be fitted to almost any door that uses a Euro style cylinder without the need for drilling or chiselling the door. This is one of the big advantages with these cylinders - there's nothing more required than to replace an existing cylinder with one of these. It really could not be simpler!
Similarly, using the combination cylinder lock could not be easier. You simply rotate the dial and press for each number that your code is. On the last number, the cylinder will acknowledge the correct code and then by turning the cylinder you will be able to open the lock.
The Combination code lock is manufactured to order in various sizes from 60mm overall to 150mm overall in 5mm increments. These cylinders are built to order so please allow up to 15 working days for delivery.

At Lisden we develop mobile apps that are tailor-made to our clients' requirements.
The mobile apps that we develop for our clients here at Lisden are often natural extensions of their businesses – saving them time, money and reducing their daily hassles by performing key functions through an app.
We also develop apps for clients wanting to realise a new business idea or concept – and we've worked with clients across multiple sectors, including sports, retail and the smart appliance/internet of things (IoT) market.
An app can add value to your existing business or realise a new idea.
What would make life easier for you?
Would it be useful for you to easily locate employees and contractors in the field and to automate some admin tasks (like time-sheets and job reports)? Or perhaps it would help you to communicate and engage directly with customers or staff through one channel (and save you time by dealing with fewer phone calls)? If so, then an app could be an efficient and cost-effective software solution for you and your business.
With a tailor-made app, you specify the functions that you need to make your business run more smoothly and your life easier – or to realise your new app concept.
The cost of a mobile app – or any bespoke software – depends on the complexity of the project and the time that the development work will take. However, at Lisden, we do develop mobile apps cost-effectively using cross-platform technology.
Cross-platform development means that we develop mobile apps that work on both Android and iOS (Apple) devices, so there's no need to spend additional time and money on separate mobile apps for the different platforms. In short, this means mobile app development that is quicker and more cost-effective. We develop once, you pay less.
Whatever your app project needs, at Lisden we will work with you to draw up a detailed brief for your app that outlines the project specifications. We then provide a detailed quotation with a clear cost breakdown – so that you are fully informed and in control of costs.
Here at Lisden, we're always happy to talk through a potential app that would benefit your business – or any other custom software project – with no obligation.
What is custom software development (and why should I care)?

Written by Dr. Christopher Cortman
To wit, Philip Humbert, a corporate entrepreneur, created a Letterman-esque top 10 list of 10 characteristics of successful people. His list included hard work, creativity, eagerness to learn, etc. Glenn Ebersole, a financial expert, composed his own list of 10 "common" characteristics of successful people, including recognition and acceptance of the value of business and themselves; balance in work and life; and having a support system of people with similar mindsets. But the granddaddy of all lists of the characteristics of successful people probably belongs to James Stephenson, who has compiled no less than 25 characteristics, including be aggressive; sell benefits; get involved; grab attention; and become a shameless self-promoter, in the midst of many, many other characteristics.
So what are we to conclude? Maybe, just maybe, successful people can have any number of characteristics that promote their success and, with a little creativity, we can come up with not 10 or 25 but hundreds of characteristics of successful people.
So what about failure? Why do businesses and people so often fail? Sometimes an idea isn't as appealing as it seemed when created on the drawing board. Sometimes, like the typewriter, the product has run its course. Sometimes it's a product squashed by bad timing or a restaurant with bad parking. Other times it's good competition or a rotten economy. Sometimes people just quit. But what about self-sabotage? You know, when people deliberately (or less-than-consciously) spoil their own chances of succeeding by creating their own demise. In the spirit of shameless self-promotion, it's time to quote Cortman and Shinitzky (2009) on "The saboteur...a self-created mindset that protects the self from apparent damage."
Let's describe how the saboteur operates by re-telling an old joke: A factory worker excitedly opens his lunch bag, lifts the top half of his sandwich only to angrily slam the food down on the table and exclaim, "Peanut butter. I hate peanut butter!" After three consecutive days of watching this scenario unfold, the worker's friend breaks down and asks, "Why don't you tell your wife to make something else for lunch?" The first worker responds, "Hey buddy, leave my wife out of this. I make my own lunch."
The joke, of course, is fiction but the saboteur is real. But why? If, as psychologists say, all behavior is purposeful and goal-oriented, why would people trip themselves up on the road to success? Why would we work so hard to succeed and then find a way to foil our efforts?
The answer lies in that four-letter F word that we all grapple with throughout life: FEAR. Fear has been described by some as False Evidence Appearing Real; more often, it is experienced as F...Everything And Run. What exactly do we fear? Two things mainly: failure and rejection. The fear of rejection is as pervasive as the fear of death and almost as powerful. It prevents people from asking others on dates; requesting promotions and raises; and even attending important functions. The potential of being excluded often reminds people of childhood experiences that made them feel worthless and inadequate. As such, they are to be avoided at all costs. Jen could have won the race for class president, but she will never know for sure. Her saboteur ensured that, at the very least, she wouldn't lose it because she never entered in the first place.
Fear of failure works in much the same way: Kevin had a chance to be promoted to the top of his management company but, in order to do this, he would have to lead meetings in front of several dozen employees. But Kevin hated to be the center of attention ever since he was molested by a neighbor during his childhood. The idea of people looking at him made him feel uncomfortable and, in his mind, made him conclude he was bound to fail, so he surprised his bosses by rejecting their offer for a significant promotion.
So what do we do with the saboteur -- that inner voice that talks us out of good opportunities to grow and succeed? Here are six steps from the book Your Mind: An Owner's Manual for a Better Life (Cortman and Shinitzky 2009).
1) Embrace it. The saboteur is like a big brother who defends us on the playground from the lunch-stealing bully. It acts as our friend and protector, by removing any possibility that we will be rejected or defeated. Hence, there's no need to eliminate him entirely. Instead, we embrace his self-protective tendencies.
2) Address and identify what the saboteur is fighting. What is your fear and what does this fear say about you?
3) Adapt. You may not be able to operate in the same way you always have. Once you address why and how your saboteur acts, you need to be realistic with yourself about what you must do differently. Be realistic, even if it hurts.
4) Plan. Create a plan based on the previous three steps in such a way that you both embrace and release your fear with a plan to succeed!
5) Act on your plan. A plan that gathers dust is no plan at all. Don't ignore your saboteur. Instead, when you start trying new behaviors, ask your saboteur to reframe its role. Instead of talking you out of facing your fears, your saboteur should be there to pick you up and dust you off after you fall and encourage you that you can do it.
6) Thrive. The last step is resolving to move forward in a positive direction, even if things go awry. You may fail your math test but that doesn't make you a failure. A positive but realistic outlook thwarts the saboteur. Remind yourself, "I can stand it if we lose the game." "It is not the end of the world if our bid not accepted by the company." Finally, remind yourself that I am lovable and deserving of love, regardless of whether the person I desire chooses to love me.
It's really a simple choice: learn to master your saboteur or learn to enjoy your peanut butter sandwiches.


Your One Word by Evan Carmichael (@EvanCarmichael) | Dre Baldwin - Creator & Author of "Work On Your Game"
"Telling your story helps people connect to you, and the instant they connect with you personally, they're much more likely to take action.
This is one of the biggest mistakes many entrepreneurs make.
They hide behind their website and marketing materials. They don't want to make it all about themselves. They don't have huge egos. They want to make the products and services shine, not themselves.
Telling your story isn't about boosting your ego.
I heard of Evan via his 10 Rules From YouTube video series, and pre-ordered his book based on a great offer he made for early adopters. I almost didn't finish reading the book, as it starts off with a lot of you-can-do-it, take-the-leap entrepreneurship talk. But I skimmed past that and got to the meat of the book. It was a quick and easy read that pushed one idea: Whittle everything you do down to one idea; even better to one singular word.
Evan explains why the ideas and that one word matters, and how to infuse that feeling being that word into everything you do — products, your team, social media, and the rest.
You Should Read Your One Word If: You're a beginning entrepreneur trying to carve out your niche, or a seasoned entrepreneur/brand who has confused even yourself as to what you stand for.

Heather Heber-Percy
Heather Heber-Percy is well known throughout the UK dating industry since she started up her own dating agency called Country Partners, in 1983. The agency became a huge success and covered the entire country at a time when there were only four other dating agencies – introduction agencies as they were called then – in the UK. Huge positive media coverage helped to provide a much-needed and trustworthy dating service in both Town and Country areas. Heather's background at the time was as a trainer for The Samaritans. She continued with the Samaritans for a further ten years at various centres throughout the country.
In the 1990s, Heather went on to create another specialised dating service called The County Register and was the first person in the UK to come up with the idea of headhunting for people wanting to find a partner in life. Heather also became a Director of Praxis, a well known Interim Management Company based in the Midlands – one of the first of its kind. The founder and CEO Carl Hague had enormously creative ideas that spilled over into Heather's own business, helping her to develop The County Register even further.
Again in the 1990s, Heather became the Chairman of The Association of British Introduction Agencies, but resigned in 2020, to help further develop The Dating Agency Association, a newer and forward-thinking Association that traditional dating agencies within the UK today may wish to become a part of.

Lemarc Thomas
EU representative
With a background in psychology, Lemarc Thomas has pursued a career within the international matchmaking industry for ten years. Following on from his studies in psychology, Lemarc specialised in psychological trauma and was fortunate enough to work with some of the UK's top trauma experts dealing with post-traumatic stress. Having decided to take a break from such intense and demanding work, Lemarc then became interested in positive psychology and as a result, joined a team of psychologists who were matchmaking in London at the time. He soon began to realise how important relationships and finding love have become, and as a result, Lemarc has become dedicated to learning about relationships ever since.
After meeting his partner who he then married, Lemarc agreed to move to Sweden, where he has successfully created Sweden's one and only matchmaking agency, which has been growing steadily over the last four years.
Lemarc combines the art of matchmaking with the science of love, and passionately promotes conscious matchmaking. Grounded in attachment theory and integrating ideas from other psychological models, combined with self-leadership strategies, Lemarc has created a unique four-step model to love, "roots to love". He is also the founder of the Swedish Love Professionals.

In April 2013, Procter & Gamble (P&G), the world's largest consumer packaged goods (CPG) company, announced that it would extend its payment terms to suppliers by 30 days. At the same time, P&G announced a new supply chain financing (SCF) program giving suppliers the ability to receive discounted payments for their P&G receivables. Fibria Celulose, a Brazilian supplier of kraft pulp, joined the program in 2013, but was re-evaluating the costs and benefits of participating in the SCF program in the summer of 2015. The firm's treasury group and its US country manager must decide whether to keep using the program and, if so, whether to keep their existing SCF banking relationship or start a new relationship with another global SCF bank.

In principal, the 30 percent quota system for women provides a special opportunity for women to enter the world of politics, refering to the concept of social and cultural disparity between women and men as political subjects, which is proven by the low rate of representation of interests in political life. The representation rate of women in formal political institutions both at the national and local levels is still too low, making it hard for women to influence policies and inspect the effectiveness of their implementation.
On March 9, 2005, the Women Research Institute launched three books, book entitled: Women's Representation in Public Policiees in the Regional Autonomy Era (Representasi Perempuan dalam Kebijakan Publik di Era Otonomi Daerah by Women Research Institute; Political Identity of Women in Aceh (Politik Identitas Perempuan Aceh) by Edriana Noerdin and Feminist Methods in Social Research (Metode-Metode Feminis dalam Penelitian Sosial) by Shulamit Reinharz.
The Millennium Development Goals had formulated eight goals; among others is related to maternal health. With regards to achieve this MDGs target, particularly on maternal health, it seems that Indonesia faced quite serious constraint to reduce the number of maternal mortality. Moreover, the number of maternal mortality in Indonesia is still debatable. As an illustration, in 2009 UNESCAP, UNDP, UNFPA, and WHO stated that there is an increase of number of maternal mortality in Indonesia from 307/100.000 to 420/100.000. Meanwhile, the national data published by Bappenas (National Planning Body) 2009 showed that the number of maternal mortality in Indonesia decreased from 307/100.000 in 2002-2003, to 228/100.000 in 2009. However, Bappenas indicates that Indonesia will difficult to achieve the MDG's target to reduce maternal mortality to 102/100,000 in 2015 although the trend of the national number is decreasing. Bappenas projected that the number of maternal mortality in 2015 in Indonesia will be around 163/100,000, far lag behind from Malaysia and Thailand which number of maternal mortality each is 30 and 24.
The Women Research Institute (WRI) launched its second edition of the Affirmation Journal, a journal on the findings of WRI's newest research on women's movement. The launching, which was held along with a seminar under a related theme, was held on 14 May 2013 in Jakarta. This journal analyzes forms of women's power, from the ones in social movements to their social, cultural, and political implications at the individual level, family level, civil society group level, and the general public. Also part of the study were factors such as global and local economics and politics as well as the influence of 'local extra' and 'local response' on feminist leaderships on several women's organizations in Jakarta, Lombok, Padang, North Sumatera and Lampung. This research aims to obtain an overview of the issues and challenges of women's issues that are currently and will be faced by women's organizations.

Heinen's Grocery Store to Carry Good Flour Co. Products at 23 Locations in the USA
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 4, 2023) - The Good Flour Corp. (CSE: GFCO) (OTCQB: GFCOF) (FSE: 3KZ) ("GFCO") is pleased to announce further expansion into the United States with a distribution relationship with Heinen's Grocery Store ("Heinen's"). Heinen's is a family-owned grocery store that has been in existence for over 93 years with 23 locations in Ohio and Illinois. Heinen's will carry GFCO's Artisan Fried Chicken Mix and Artisan Pancake and Waffle Mix. Availability of these products in Heinen's stores is expected to occur in January 2023.
"The addition of Heinen's as a retail partner for GFCO is another significant development. GFCO is building momentum is the retail space in the United States after adding Sprouts Farmer's Market and now Heinen's. Heinen's prides itself on its high standards "you have to find the best to sell the best" and GFCO is excited that its products meet these standards," states Matthew Clayton, CEO of GFCO.
About Heinen's
In 1929, local butcher Joe Heinen opened a butcher shop in Shaker Heights after discovering a passion for the trade. In 1933, Joe Heinen pioneered Cleveland's first supermarket across the street from his shop, selling traditional grocery items alongside hand-butchered meats. In the 1930s, bringing these two shopping experiences together was revolutionary in the grocery industry, but what truly set Heinen apart was his commitment to quality.
Joe Heinen's vision lives on 93 years later under the leadership of his twin grandsons, Jeff and Tom Heinen and their children, Kim, Kelsey and Jake Heinen. Together, this family of grocers is focused on making Heinen's relevant in the ever-changing industry through reimagining the traditional grocery store as a destination for quick and easy meals, fresh-overnight seafood, wellness guidance, dietary friendly solutions and traditional in-store butchers.

She dressed up in her witches outfit and we went to town, she had her photo taken at a photobooth and also had her face painted. Many people talk of Halloween being to 'Americanised' but you know what? its just a bit of fun. Our day was finished off with a touch of trick or treating before we went to a halloween party and then spent a few hours with the bride to be.
