The tenge (Kazakh: теңге, Kazakh pronunciation: [teŋˈge]; Russian: тенге́, Russian pronunciation: [tʲɪn⁽ʲ⁾ˈɡʲe]; sign: ₸ ; code: KZT) is the currency of Kazakhstan. It is divided into 100 tıyn (тиын, also transliterated as tiyin or tijin). The ISO-4217 code is KZT.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, attempts were made by most republics to maintain a common currency. Some politicians were hoping to at least maintain "special relations" among former Soviet republics, or the "near abroad". Other reasons were the economic considerations for maintaining the ruble zone. The wish to preserve strong trade relations between former Soviet republics was considered the most important goal.
The break-up of the Soviet Union was not accompanied by any formal changes in monetary arrangements. The Central Bank of Russia was authorized to take over the State Bank of the USSR (Gosbank) on 1 January 1992. It continued to ship USSR ruble notes and coins to the central banks of the eleven newly independent countries, which had formerly been the main branches of Gosbank in the republics.
The political situation, however, was not favorable for maintaining a common currency. Maintaining a common currency requires a strong political consensus in respect to monetary and fiscal targets, a common institution in charge of implementing these targets, and some minimum of common legislation (concerning the banking and foreign exchange regulations). These conditions were far from being met amidst the turbulent economic and political situation.
During the first half of 1992, a monetary union with 15 independent states all using the ruble existed. Since it was clear that the situation would not last, each of them was using its position as "free-riders" to issue huge amounts of money in the form of credit. As a result, some countries were issuing coupons in order to "protect" their markets from buyers from other states. The Russian central bank responded in July 1992 by setting up restrictions to the flow of credit between Russia and other states. The final collapse of the ruble zone began when Russia pulled out with the exchange of banknotes by the Central bank of Russia on Russian territory at the end of July 1993.
As a result, Kazakhstan and other countries still in the ruble zone were "pushed out". On November 12, 1993, a decree of the President of Kazakhstan, "About introducing national currency of Republic of Kazakhstan", was issued. The tenge was introduced on 15 November 1993 to replace the Soviet ruble at a rate of 1 tenge = 500 rubles. In 1991 a "special group" of designers was created: Mendybay Alin, Timur Suleymenov, Asimsaly Duzelkhanov and Khayrulla Gabzhalilov. As such, November 15 is celebrated as the "Day of National Currency of Republic of Kazakhstan". In 1995, a tenge printing factory was opened in Kazakhstan. The first consignment of tenge was printed abroad, in the UK. The first coins were minted in Germany. In February 2019, the President of Kazakhstan signed a bill into law that will remove all Russian captions from future tenge banknotes, as it is not a state language.
The word tenge in the Kazakh and most other Turkic languages means a set of scales (cf the old Uzbek tenga or the Tajik borrowed term tanga). The origin of the word is the Turkic teŋ- which means being equal, balance. The name of this currency is thus similar to the taka, lira, pound and peso. The name of the currency is related to the Russian word for money Russian: деньги/ den'gi, which was borrowed from Turkic.
The new symbol for the Kazakhstani tenge.
In autumn 2006, the National Bank of Kazakhstan organized a competition for the symbol of the Kazakhstan Tenge and received over 30,000 applications. On March 20, 2007, two days before the Nauryz holiday, the National Bank of Kazakhstan approved a graphical symbol for the Tenge: ₸. On March 29, 2007, the Bank announced two designers from Almaty, Vadim Davydenko and Sanzhar Amirkhanov, as winners for the creation of the symbol of the Kazakhstan Tenge. They shared a prize of 1 million tenge and the title of "parents" of the Kazakhstan Tenge symbol. The character was proposed for encoding in Unicode in 2008, and was included in Unicode 5.2.0 (August 2009) at code point U+20B8.
While older coins were struck in Germany, current coins are struck domestically, by the Kazakhstan Mint in Oskemen.
In 1993, the first series of coins were introduced in denominations of 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 tiyin featuring the national arms and were struck in bronze. 1, 3, 5, 10 and 20 tenge were struck in cupro-nickel and depicted stylized and mythical animals. The coins of this period circulated alongside tiyin and low denomination tenge notes of equal value.
Commemorative coins are issued in denominations of 20, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000 and 10,000 tenge. Silver and gold bullion coins exist in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 tenge. Many of the 20 and 50 tenge commemoratives are also struck in cupro-nickel and occasionally make it out into general circulation as a side coinage with face value.

The text on the reverse side of the 200 tenge banknote is written in Kazakh, although text on the reverse sides of the other banknotes is written in Russian.
Some 2,000 tenge notes spelled the word "банкі" (bank) incorrectly as "банқі".
The National Bank of Kazakhstan issued a new series of tenge banknotes in 2006. They have the same values as the previously existed ones.
The 2006 series is far more exotic than its predecessors. The obverse is vertical and the denomination is written in Kazakh. All denominations depict the Astana Bayterek monument, the flag of Kazakhstan, the Coat of arms, the handprint with a signature of president Nursultan Nazarbayev and fragments of the national anthem. The main differences across each denomination are only the colours, denominations and underprint patterns.
On the contrast, the reverse side of the notes are more different. The denomination is written in Russian, and each denomination shows a unique building and geography of Kazakhstan in the outline of its borders.
The first printing of the 2,000 and 5,000 tenge notes issued in 2006 had misspellings of the word for "bank" (the correct spelling "банкі" banki was misspelled "банқі" banqi). The misspelling was a politically sensitive issue due to the cultural and political importance of the Kazakh language.
On October 3, 2016, the 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000 tenge banknotes of the 2006 series lost their legal tender status and are no longer valid. From October 4, 2016 to October 3, 2017, these notes can be exchanged without commission at any second tier bank and branches of the National Bank of Kazakhstan.
The National Bank of Kazakhstan issued a new series of tenge banknotes dated 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 in denominations of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000 tenge. The designs for this series feature the "Kazakh Eli" monument on the front of the notes. On 1 December 2015, a new 20,000-tenge banknote was introduced. It contains the issue date of 2013, and is a commemorative note to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the introduction of its national currency, but was not issued until 2015. In 2017, the National Bank of Kazakhstan issued a 500-tenge banknote as part of this series, but has caused controversy over an image of a gull on the reverse side of the note and the image of the Moscow business center in Kazakhstan's capital of Astana.
Since 2008, a number of commemorative designs have been issued, including notes celebrating the 2011 Asian Winter Games hosted in Astana. Commemoratives can typically be found in these denominations: 1,000 tenge, 2,000 tenge, 5,000 tenge, and 10,000 tenge.

The National Bank of Kazakhstan issued a 10,000 tenge commemorative banknote to commemorate the 25th anniversary of independence from the Soviet Union. The commemorative note contains an image of Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev,and was launched into circulation on the Day of the First President, December 1, 2016.
On September 2, 2013 the National Bank of Kazakhstan moved the Kazakhstan Tenge from a managed float and pegged it to the U.S. dollar and Russian ruble.
On February 11, 2014, the Kazakh National Bank chose to devalue the tenge by 19% against the U.S. dollar in response to a weakening of the Russian ruble.
On August 20, 2015, The Kazakhstan National Bank has done away with the currency band with respect to conversion rate of Tenge. Now, the Tenge is a free-floating currency and its exchange rate against the major currencies are determined by demand and supply in the market. Due to this change, the currency Tenge lost its value by 30% in a single day.

He lived and taught for some time in Aleppo. Al-Masudi, writing five years after the fact, says that Farabi died in Damascus in Rajab 339. Henry Corbin writes that the evidence supports the common in Iran that al-Farabi was Shiite. Corbin argues that there are similarities between what he calls Farabis prophetic philosophy and the teachings of Shiite Imams. Najjar Fauzi refers to the point that Al-Farabi may be Shiite because his political philosophy seems to be influenced by Shiite sects, Farabi made contributions to the fields of logic, music, philosophy and education. Al-Farabi wrote, The Necessity of the Art of the Elixir Though he was mainly an Aristotelian logician and he discussed the topics of future contingents, the number and relation of the categories, the relation between logic and grammar, and non-Aristotelian forms of inference. He is credited with categorizing logic into two groups, the first being idea and the second being proof. Al-Farabi considered the theories of conditional syllogisms and analogical inference, another addition al-Farabi made to the Aristotelian tradition was his introduction of the concept of poetic syllogism in a commentary on Aristotles Poetics.
Al-Farabi wrote a book on music titled Kitab al-Musiqa, in it, he presents philosophical principles about music, its cosmic qualities, and its influences. He wrote a treatise on the Meanings of the Intellect, as a philosopher, Al-Farabi was a founder of his own school of early Islamic philosophy known as Farabism or Alfarabism, though it was overshadowed by Avicennism. His Neoplatonic theology is more than just metaphysics as rhetoric. In his attempt to think through the nature of a First Cause, Al-Farabi had great influence on science and philosophy for several centuries, and was widely considered second only to Aristotle in knowledge in his time. His work, aimed at synthesis of philosophy and Sufism, paved the way for the work of Ibn Sina, Al-Farabi wrote a commentary on Aristotles work, and one of his most notable works is Al-Madina al-Fadila where he theorized an ideal state as in Platos The Republic. Al-Farabi represented religion as a rendering of truth, like Plato. Al-Farabi wrote a short treatise On Vacuum, where he thought about the nature of the existence of void and he may have carried out the first experiments concerning the existence of vacuum, in which he investigated handheld plungers in water.
Lira is the name of several currency units. It is the current currency of Turkey and the name of the currencies of Lebanon. It is the currency of Italy, San Marino and the Vatican City, all of which were replaced in 2002 with the euro, and of Israel. The term originates from the value of a Troy pound of high purity silver, the libra was the basis of the monetary system of the Roman Empire. When Europe resumed a monetary system, during the Carolingian Empire, the Roman system was adopted, particularly this system was kept during the Middle Ages and Modern Age in England and Italy. In each of countries the libra was translated into local language, pound in England, livre in France. The Venetian lira was one of the currencies in use in Italy, during the 19th century and the Ottoman Empire adopted the lira as their national currency, equivalent to 100 piasters or kuruş. When the Ottoman Empire collapsed in years 1918-1922, many among the successor states kept the lira as their national currency. In some countries, such as Cyprus, which have belonged to both empires, the Ottoman Empire and the British Empire, the lira and pound are used as equivalents.
A currency symbol is a graphic symbol used as a shorthand for a currencys name, especially in reference to amounts of money. The European Commission considers the global recognition of the euro sign € part of its success, in 2009, India launched a public competition to replace the ₨ ligature it shared with neighbouring countries. It finalised its new symbol, ₹ on 15 July 2010. It is a blend of the Latin letter R with the Devanagari letter र, when writing currency amounts the location of the symbol varies by currency. Many currencies in the English-speaking world and Latin America, place it before the amount, the Cape Verdean escudo places its symbol in the decimal separator position. The usage of many European countries, such as France, the decimal separator follows local countries standards. For instance, the United Kingdom often uses an interpunct as the point on price stickers. Commas or decimal points are common separators used in other countries, see decimal separator for information on international standards.
The snow leopard or ounce is a large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species because, as of 2003, fewer than 2,500 individuals may be reproducing in the wild. As of 2016, estimates for the size of the population vary from at least 4,080 to about 8,700 individuals. Snow leopards inhabit alpine and subalpine zones at elevations from 3,000 to 4,500 m, in the northern range countries, they occur at lower elevations. Taxonomically, the leopard has been classified as Uncia uncia since the early 1930s. Based on genotyping studies, the cat has been considered a member of the genus Panthera since 2008, two subspecies have been attributed, but genetic differences between the two have not been settled. Both the latinized genus name and the occasional English name ounce are derived from the Old French once, originally used for the European lynx. Once itself is believed to have arisen by back-formation from a variant of lynx, lonce – the l of lonce was construed as an abbreviated la.
This, like the English version ounce, came to be used for other lynx-sized cats, and eventually for the snow leopard. The snow leopard is known in its native lands as wāwrīn pṛāng, zigsa, bars or barys, barfānī chītā Urdu, برفانی چیتا). According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the origin of the word panthera is unknown, a folk etymology derives the word from the Greek πάν pan and thēr because they can hunt and kill almost anything. It was proposed to have come ultimately into Greek from a Sanskrit word meaning the animal or whitish-yellow. The Greek word πάνθηρ, pánthēr, referred to all spotted felines generically, schreber named the cat Felis uncia and gave its type locality as Barbary, East India, and China. In 1854, the British zoologist John Edward Gray proposed the genus Uncia, British zoologist Reginald Innes Pocock corroborated this classification, but attributed the scientific name Uncia uncia. He described morphological differences between snow leopards and the members of Panthera.
Almaty /ˈælməti/, formerly known as Alma-Ata /ˌælmə. əˈtɑː/ and Verny, is the largest city in Kazakhstan, with a population of 1,703,481 people, containing 9% of the countrys total population. Almaty is considered a World City with a Beta - classification according to GaWC and it served as capital of the Kazakh state in its various forms from 1929 to 1997, under the influence of the Soviet Union and its appointees. Alma-Ata was the host city for a 1978 international conference on Primary Health Care where the Alma Ata Declaration was adopted, in 1997, the government relocated the capital to Astana in the north of the country. Almaty continues as the commercial and cultural centre of Kazakhstan. From 1929 to 1936, Almaty was the capital of Kazakh ASSR, from 1936 to 1991 it was the capital of Kazakh SSR. After Kazakhstan became independent in 1991, Almaty continued as the capital until 1997, Almaty remains the largest, most developed, and most ethnically and culturally diverse city in Kazakhstan.
The city is in the foothills of Trans-Ili Alatau in the extreme south-east and it has a relatively mild climate with warm summers and quite cold winters. Since the city is in an active area, it has an endemic risk of earthquakes. Although most do not cause any significant damage, Almaty has suffered some large destructive earthquakes, in 1997 the capital was moved to Astana in the north-central part of the country. Since Almaty has been referred to as the capital of Kazakhstan. The name Almaty has its roots in the medieval settlement Almatu, a disputed theory holds that the name is derived from the Kazakh word for apple, and is often translated as full of apples. Originally it was Almatau which means Apple Mountain, the Russian version of the name was Alma-Ata, since independence Russian has tended to use the Kazakh Almaty. There is great diversity among the wild apples in the region surrounding Almaty. The wild Malus sieversii is considered a candidate for the ancestor of the modern domestic apple.

Glad you're back! Hope the eye thing resolves completely and soon.
Don't know about bugs, but marigolds are definitely supposed to keep the deer away from your garden. Hope your eye issue goes completely away. The shawls are beautiful and the colors you chose are stunning.
The garden looks fabulous! I am also doing the Fairyhill Shawl but had to rip it back a couple of times. The life lines I have been using are just that: saving my life ( or sanity). Her patterns are very pretty and I am enjoying the challenge. Hope your eye problem is totally resolved. Heading to Maine for a 4 day camping trip and hope to get some knitting done then.

Essays on Gianni Vattimo: Religion, Ethics and the History of Ideas
What has postmodernism got to do with Christianity? To what extent can a nihilist derive an ethic from the history of a religion? Can a western approach to secularisation be applied to Islam? These questions are central to this collection of essays from 2011–2015 by Matthew Edward Harris. The essays are grouped around the interrelated themes of religion, ethics and the history of ideas and constitute a critically constructive approach to the subject matter. Harris defends Vattimo against some of his more strident critics, but nevertheless poses questions of his own. Along with a new introduction, outlining Vattimo's life, thought and ideas, and a conclusion, which looks at how developments in Vattimo's views on religion have wider implications for his 'weak thought,' the volume includes nine essays on Vattimo's thought. Harris' overall argument is that Vattimo is overly reliant upon history and that there is a contradiction within his style of 'weak thought,' which is against definitive pronouncements yet excludes outright anything that does not pertain to the history of linguistic messages.
Matthew Edward Harris studied for his PhD at the Department of Philosophy, Staffordshire University, UK and is Head of Religious Studies and IB Coordinator at Warminster School. Holding degrees from Oxford University, the University of Birmingham and the University of Bristol, Matthew has published numerous articles on Vattimo for journals such as Parrhesia, The Heythrop Journal, and Minerva.
"In this beautifully written book Matthew Edward Harris does not simply reconstruct the 'Christian' essence of Italy's most important philosopher of religion, but also contributes far beyond the circles of Vattimo's scholarship, where its already been received as a fresh and powerful critical intervention. Anyone interested in 'Christianity after religion,' as Vattimo would say, will find this book necessary to understand what remains of God in the 21st century."

HID lights, (High Intensity Discharge lights) refer to lighting technology that relies on an electrical charge to ignite xenon gas in a sealed bulb. The light produced is similar to the light produced by the sun. "HID's" do not have a filament but instead create light by igniting an electrical discharge between two electrodes in an airtight tiny quartz capsule filled with xenon gas. This is why this style of high-performance lighting is also called Xenon Lighting! The HID xenon lamp works based on the on the gas discharge principle, where an arc of light is created between two electrodes in a glass tube filled with metal salts and inert gases.
HID lighting produces more light and uses less energy than a standard bulb. The quality of light emitted by HIDs is closer to that of natural daylight, making them preferable for automotive applications.
How does High Intensity Discharge lighting compare with incandescent (standard) lighting?
In order to compare types of lighting, a basic understanding of how High Intensity Discharge lighting works is necessary. A standard incandescent light consists of a tungsten filament inside a gas-filled bulb . When the bulb is turned on, a current is sent through the filament creating a high current draw. Tungsten has a high electrical resistance, so the current generates heat, which then produces light.
The gas inside the bulb slows the evaporation of the tungsten filament, but eventually the heat will cause the filament to decay enough to break, causing the light bulb to literally "burn" out.
Many light bulb manufactures claim that their incandescent "hyper white" bulbs will give you the HID look, but the truth is that these are still regular filament style bulbs with good marketing and poor performance! Most of the "HID look" light bulbs on the market are simply painted with a transparent blue paint that fades over time (see Pic), some are filled with some kind of "magic gas" that is supposed to give you true HID quality, but both are just gimmicks to trick you into buying their bulbs. Only true HID/Xenon lights, like we sell, will give you real HID lighting performance.
HID's have a capsule of gas instead of the tungsten filament. The gas is actually used to produce light instead of simply slowing the decay of the bulb. Two electrodes are positioned close together and hermetically sealed inside the gas capsule. The electrodes are wired to ballast containing a circuit board with several high current capacitors, transistors, and resistors. The ballast acts as the light's control center, igniting the light and then regulating its power flow.
When the ballast ignites, it takes in a small amount of power and creates an intense charge of electricity across the electrodes. This electrical charge excites the gas molecules inside the bulb and causes them to discharge photon particles, producing light. Because the light is based on this gas discharge, HID's only produce about 5% of their total output at ignition and can require up to 30 seconds to warm up to full power.
This process creates several significant advantages over a standard light bulb. Because heat is not a necessary component of light production in HID lights, they are able to produce more light at a much cooler temperature. HID lights are also far more efficient because the electrical current is only the catalyst for the gas to discharge its light particles, not a burning filament. The ballast regulates a constant flow of power only to keep the gas molecules excited, while a standard light requires a constant intense electrical current to keep the filament hot. HID bulbs will last longer than standard bulbs, since there is no filament to burn out, and will continue to produce full light even toward the end of its "life."
In addition to being more efficient, HIDs also produce a brighter and more intense light because the entire capsule of gas is used instead of just a small filament in the middle of the bulb. This also means that the light will be distributed more evenly than with a standard bulb. This advantage in light quality is a major reason why HID systems are preferable for automotive lights. Motorists are able to see much more clearly and farther down the road with HID lights than with standard halogen headlights. In fact, many car manufacturers are including HID lights as part of their standard package instead of making them a luxury upgrade.
What other features make HID's better than regular light bulbs?
One of the most noticeable features of HID lighting is the colors of light produced. In HID lighting the color emitted by the bulb is measured using the Kelvin scale. This basically means that the color is varied due to its temperature. For instance, the HID kits we sell will range in color scale from 4300k (super bright white)-12000k (bright white with blue tint). We also offer "Dark Blue" for those that want the "bluest" of headlights.
Before deciding on the color you want you need to know what you are looking for first, Looks or Performance. If you are looking for performance, you should consider the 6000K version which will give you the most light output, however it will not display any blue tint. On the other hand, if you are looking for color, you need to get something between 8000K, and 12000K, or the ultimate in color, our "Dark Blue, or Purple." However, you will not get as much light output with the intensely colored HID's as you will with the 6000K. If you want the best mixture of light output and color you need to get the 8K which happens to be our best seller.
SEE OUR HID COLOR CHART BELOW!
*You will find that the higher number "K" goes the more blue the HID lights get.

Monday, Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe, tweeted a video of Washington Post reporter Aaron Davis attempting to ambush the group's imminent undercover bombshell video on the paper.
Leading up to the video release, WaPo reporters were panicking and stalking the Project Veritas headquarters!
In Monday's undercover video, Washington Post National Security Correspondent Dan Lamothe and Director of Product Joey Marburger speak to the paper's hidden agenda. Evidently, covering Trump the way they do is good business, even though it's fake news.
The left-wing media went crazy and relentlessly attacked James O'Keefe, claiming the guerrilla journalist is 'irrelevant' and ineffective.
This only motivated O'Keefe to up the ante so he bragged about having inside sources at WaPo and subsequently leaked an internal email showing panic had spread.
An email was sent by the Washington Post's deputy managing editor Tracy Grant to the paper's entire newsroom notifying reporters of a policy change in respect to visitation.
"Beginning immediately, all requests to bring groups into the newsroom — whether students, visiting journalists, representatives of governments or other groups — must be cleared with me. Even for approved groups, we may limit where they can go and the use of still or video cameras," wrote Grant.
On Tuesday, O'Keefe tweeted out a poll asking the public which WaPo reporter he should expose next as he teased the new video was about to drop.
WaPo's National Security reporter Adam Entous admits the Russia story is a "f*cking crapshoot" and there is no evidence suggesting Trump colluded with the Russians during the 2016 presidential election.
Once again, O'Keefe catches fake news sycophants admitting there is no evidence to support the Russian collusion story yet they continue to roll out blazing 'Trump-Russia' headlines.

Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs, Office of Population Affairs, OPHS, HHS.
The Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs (OAPP) requests applications for prevention grants under the Adolescent Family Life (AFL) Demonstration Projects Program, as authorized by Title XX of the Public Health Service Act. These grants are for community-based and community-supported demonstration projects to find effective means of preventing pregnancy by encouraging adolescents to abstain from sexual activity through provision of age-appropriate education on sexuality and decision-making skills. Faith-based organizations are eligible to apply for these demonstration grants. These Title XX grants should clearly and consistently focus on promoting abstinence as the most effective way of preventing unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. All adolescents under age 19 are eligible for services. Funds will be available for approximately 35 projects, which may be located in any State, the District of Columbia, and United States territories, commonwealths and possessions.
Application kits consisting of the appropriate forms, a copy of the Title XX legislation, and guidance on the preparation of the application may be downloaded from the following INTERNET address: http://opa.osophs.dhhs.gov. If you do not have access to the INTERNET, you may obtain a kit from the Grants Management Office, Office of Population Affairs, 4350 East-West Highway, Suite 200, Bethesda, MD 20814. Written requests for application kits may be faxed to (301) 594-5981. All completed applications must be submitted to the Grants Management Office at the above mailing address. In preparing the application, it is important to follow ALL instructions contained in the application kit.
The OAPP Program Office at (301) 594-4004. OAPP staff members are available to answer questions and provide limited technical assistance in the preparation of grant applications. Questions may also be sent to OAPP staff via e-mail at opa@osophs.dhhs.gov. If contacting the OAPP by e-mail, please place the phrase "AFL Prevention Question" in the subject heading.
Title XX of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 300z. et seq., authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants for demonstration projects to provide services to pregnant and nonpregnant adolescents, adolescent parents and their families (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number 93.995).
Under this program announcement, OAPP intends to make available approximately $6.5 million to support an estimated 35 new PREVENTION demonstration projects only. The awards will range from $150,000 to $250,000.
Please note, in Fiscal Year (FY) 1999, OAPP issued a similar Request for Applications (RFA) announcing approximately $3 million for new abstinence education prevention demonstration projects. In response to that FRA, OAPP received 142 grant applications and was able to fund only 17 new projects.
Grants may be approved for project periods of up to five years. Grants are funded in annual increments (budget periods). Funding for all approved budget periods beyond the first year of the grant is contingent upon the availability of funds, satisfactory progress of the project, and adequate stewardship of Federal funds. A grant award may not exceed 70 percent of the total costs of the project for the first and second years, 60 percent of the total costs for the third year, 50 percent for the fourth year and 40 percent for the fifth year. The non-Federal share of the project costs may be provided in cash expenditures or fairly evaluated in-kind contributions, including facilities, equipment and services.
Applications are encouraged from organizations which are currently operating programs and which have the capability of expanding and enhancing these services to serve significant numbers of adolescents according to the guidelines specified in this announcement.
The specific services which may be funded under Title XX are listed below under the heading entitled "PREVENTION SERVICES."
The following application requirements contain information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13). These information collections have been approved by OMB under control number 0937-0198.
The OAPP has scheduled a series of technical assistance workshops to help prospective applicants. At each of the one-day workshops, the public will be able to learn more about the purposes and requirements of the Title XX program, how to apply for funds under this program announcement, program Start Printed Page 1220eligibility requirements, the application selection process, and considerations that might help to improve the quality of grant applications. These workshops are offered at no cost. However, all participants must preregister using the form at http://opa.osophs.dhhs.gov or you may obtain a registration form from the OAPP at (301) 594-4004. Written requests for registration forms may be faxed to (301) 594-5981. The address of workshop locations and logistical information will be faxed or e-mailed back to you upon receipt of your registration.
Workshop Dates and Locations: January 22, 2002—Omaha, NE; January 23, 2002—Billings, MT; January 24, 2002—Seattle, WA; January 25, 2002—Las Vegas, NV; January 28, 2002—Charleston, SC; January 29, 2002—Dallas, TX; January 29, 2002—Indianapolis, IN; January 30, 2002—Providence, RI; January 31, 2002—Newark, NJ; and February 1, 2002—Dulles, VA.
Any public or private nonprofit organization or agency is eligible to apply for a grant. However, only those organizations or agencies which demonstrate the capability of providing the proposed services and meet the statutory requirements are considered for grant awards.
Holistic approaches to preventing teen pregnancy are often termed "youth development" or "developmental assets." It has been documented that successful holistic projects are those where adolescents themselves are an integral part of the design, implementation, and evaluation phases over the life of the project. Adolescents need to see hope for a future, acquire the skills necessary to turn hopes into reality, and be provided with an array of opportunities to get them to that reality.
The OAPP encourages applicants to take a holistic approach that addresses the societal disparities that contribute adolescent pregnancy, such as unequal access to enrichment programs, job opportunities, support groups, etc. In addition, the OAPP encourages applicants to provide opportunities for improving the adolescents' sense of self through cultural understanding, sports and recreation, visual and performing arts, and other activities that build an adolescent's sense of self-worth and self-efficacy, as long as these activities contain an educational component. All services provided by AFL grantees, however, including all activities that are part of a holistic approach, must be within the scope of the Title XX prevention services listed below and must not be inconsistent with "abstinence education" as defined in the "Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996," Pub. L. No. 104-193.
Under this announcement, funds are available for abstinence education PREVENTION projects only. Community-based, community-supported, faith-based and school-based applicants are encouraged to apply. The project site must be identified in the application rather than selected after the grant is awarded.
Under the Title XX statute, the primary purpose of prevention programs is to find effective means of reaching adolescents, both male and female, before they become sexually active in order to encourage them to abstain from sexual activity. There is general agreement that early initiation of sexual activity brings not only the risk of unintended pregnancy but also substantial health risks to adolescents, primarily infection with STIs, including HIV. Accordingly, applicants must clearly and consistently focus on abstinence as the most effective way of preventing unintended pregnancy and STIs and must provide services that help pre-adolescents and adolescents acquire knowledge and skills that will instill healthy attitudes and encourage and support abstinence from sexual activity. Any information provided for adolescents who may be or become sexually active, which relates to reducing the risk of unintended pregnancy and disease, must be medically accurate and must be presented within the context that abstinence is the most effective choice and is what the project recommends.
Under the statutory requirements of Title XX, applicants for prevention programs are not required to provide any specific array of services. OAPP encourages the submission of applications which focus on educational services relating to family life and which teach the social, psychological and health gains to be realized by abstaining from sexual activity. The legislation also permits a proposal to include any one or more of the following services as appropriate:
(1) Educational services relating to family life and problems associated with adolescent premarital sexual relations including:
(a) Information about adoption,
(b) Education on the responsibilities of sexuality and parenting,
(c) The development of material to support the role of parents as the providers of sex education, and
(d) Assistance to parents, schools, youth agencies and health providers to educate adolescents and preadolescents concerning self-discipline and responsibility in human sexuality;
(2) Appropriate educational and vocational services;
(3) Counseling for the immediate and extended family members of the eligible person;
(4) Transportation;
(5) Outreach services to families of adolescents to discourage sexual relations among unemancipated minors; and
(6) Nutrition information and counseling.
In addition to the Title XX statutory requirements, programs must not be inconsistent with abstinence education as defined in the "Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996," Pub. L. No. 104-193. Accordingly, under this announcement the term "abstinence education" means an educational or motivational program which:
A. Has as its exclusive purpose, teaching the social, psychological, and health gains to be realized by abstaining from sexual activity;
B. Teaches abstinence from sexual activity outside marriage as the expected standard for all school age children;
C. Teaches that abstinence from sexual activity is the only certain way to avid out-of-wedlock pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and other associated health problems;
D. Teaches that a mutually faithful monogamous relationship in context of marriage is the expected standard of human sexual activity;
E. Teaches that sexual activity outside of the context of marriage is likely to have harmful psychological and physical effects;
F. Teaches that bearing children out-of-wedlock is likely to have harmful consequences for the child, the child's parents, and society;
G. Teaches young people how to reject sexual advances and how alcohol and drug use increases vulnerability to sexual advances; and
H. Teaches the importance of attaining self-sufficiency before engaging in sexual activity.
Faith-based and community-based organizations are eligible to apply for AFL grants. Please note, however, that no funds provided through the AFL program may be expended for sectarian Start Printed Page 1221instruction, worship, prayer, or proselytization. If a religious organization offers such activities, they shall be voluntary for the individuals receiving services and offered separately from the program funded under the AFL program. An AFL program cannot discriminate in providing program services to an individual on the basis of religion, a religious belief, or refusal to hold a religious belief.
The grantee shall submit all curricula and educational materials for use in the AFL project, whether currently available or to be developed, to OAPP for review and approval prior to use in the AFL project, to ensure that these materials are medically accurate, do not violate the restrictions on sectarian activities, and comply with the statutory prohibition on advocating, promoting, encouraging or providing abortions.
Section 2006(b)(1) of Title XX requires each grantee to expend at lease one percent but not more than five percent of the Federal funds received under Title XX on evaluation of the project. Waivers of the five percent limit on evaluation may be granted by OAPP in cases where a more rigorous or comprehensive evaluation effort is proposed (see sec. 2006(b)(1)). As this is a demonstration program, all applications are required to have an evaluation component of high quality consistent with the scope of the proposed project and the funding level. All project evaluations should monitor program processes to determine whether the program has been carried out as planned and measure the program's outcomes.
The OAPP encourages applications to include a proposed goal(s) statement and related outcome objectives. A goal is a general statement of what the project hopes to accomplish. It should reflect the long-term desired impact of the project on the target group(s) as well as reflect the program goals contained in this program announcement. An outcome objective is a statement which defines a measurable result the project expects to accomplish. Outcome objectives should be described in terms that measure the results the project will bring about (e.g., decrease in premarital sexual activity among the treatment group, increase in intent to remain abstinent among the treatment group). Good applications should contain a few outcome objectives that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-framed (S.M.A.R.T.).
S pecific: An objective should specify one major result directly related to the program goal, state who is going to be doing what, to whom, by how much, and in what time-frame. It should specify what will be accomplished and how the accomplishment will be measured.
M easurable: An objective should be able to describe in realistic terms the expected results and specify how such results will be measured.
A chievable: The accomplishment specified in the objective should be achievable within the proposed time line and as a direct result of program activities.
R ealistic: The objective should be reasonable in nature. The specified outcomes, expected results, should be described in realistic terms.
T ime-framed: An outcome objective should specify a target date or time for its accomplishments. It should state who is going to be doing what, by when, etc. The Public Management Institute, How to Get Grants (1981).
Section 2006(b)(2) of Title XX requires that the evaluations be conducted by an organization or entity independent of the grantee providing services. To assist in conducting the evaluations, each grantee shall develop a working relationship with a college or university located in the grantee's state which will provide or assist in providing monitoring and evaluation of the proposed program. The OAPP strongly recommends extensive collaboration between the applicant organization and the proposed evaluator in the development of the program goals and objectives of the intervention, identification of the variables to be measured, a clear and organized timetable for initiation of the intervention, baseline measurement, and ongoing evaluation data collection and analysis strategies. Additionally, it is important to establish this collaborative relationship between the applicant organization and the proposed evaluator when preparing the application to ensure that the project's proposed goals and objectives and the evaluation are consistent with each other. The proposed evaluator should be included in the program planning meetings to ensure that there is uniformity in the intended outcomes of the program.
Applications must be submitted on the forms supplied (OPHS-1, Revised 6/2001) and in the manner prescribed in the application kits provided by the OAPP. Applicants are required to submit an application signed by an individual authorized to act for the applicant agency or organization and to assume for the organization the obligations imposed by the terms and conditions of the grant award. The program narrative should not be longer than 50 double-spaced pages.
Applicants must be familiar with Title XX in its entirety to ensure that they have complied with all applicable requirements. A copy of the legislation is included in the application kit.
Applicants for grants must also meet both of the following requirements (each year):
(1) Requirements for Review of an Application by the Governor. Section 2006(e) of Title XX requires that each applicant shall provide the Governor of the State in which the applicant is located a copy of each application submitted to OAPP for a grant for a demonstration project for services under this Title. The Governor has 60 days from the receipt date in which to provide comments to the applicant. An applicant may comply with this requirement by submitting a copy of the application to the Governor of the State in which the applicant is located at the same time the application is submitted to OAPP. To inform the Governor's office of the reason for the submission, a copy of this notice should be attached to the application.
(2) Requirements for Review of an Application Pursuant to Executive Order 12372 (SPOC Requirements). Applications under this announcement are subject to the review requirements of E.O. 12372, "Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs," as implemented by 45 CFR part 100, "Intergovernmental Review of Department of Health and Human Services Programs and Activities." E.O. 12372 sets up a system for state and local government review of proposed Federal assistance applications. As soon as possible, the applicant (other than Federally-recognized Indian tribal governments) should contact the State Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for each state in the area to be served. The application kit contains the currently available listing of the SPOCs which have elected to be informed of the submission of applications. For those states not represented on the listing, further inquiries should be made by the applicant regarding submission to the relevant SPOC. The SPOC's comment(s) should be forwarded to the Grants Management Office, Office of Population Affairs, 4350 East-West Highway, Suite 200, Bethesda, MD 20814. The SPOC has 60 days from the closing date of this announcement to submit any comments.Start Printed Page 1222
Applications which are judged to be late or which do not conform to the requirements of this program announcement will not be accepted for review. Applicants will be so notified, and the applications will be returned. All other applications will be reviewed by a multi-disciplinary panel of independent reviewers and assessed according to the following criteria:
(1) The applicant's provision of a clear statement of mission, goals, measurable (outcome) objectives, reasonable methods for achieving the objectives, a reasonable workplan and timetable, and clear statements of expected results. (25 points)
(2) The capacity of the applicant to implement the program, including personnel and other resources, and the applicant's experience and expertise in providing programs for adolescents. (15 points)
(3) The population the project proposes to serve, including ethnic composition, number of adolescent and pre-adolescent clients, family members and community members. [Healthy People 2010 is a set of health objectives for the Nation to achieve over the first decade of the new century. The two goals of Healthy People 2010 are to increase quality of years of healthy life and to eliminate health disparities. In evaluating this criterion, priority will be given to programs which serve minority populations in order to eliminate health disparities.] (15 points)
(4) The applicant's presentation of a detailed evaluation plan, indicating an understanding of program evaluation methods, and reflecting a practical and technically sound approach to assessing the project's achievement of program objectives. (15 points)
(5) The applicant's presentation of the need for the project, including the incidence of adolescent pregnancy in the geographic area to be served and the availability of services for adolescents within this geographic area. (10 points)
(6) The applicant's presentation of an organizational model for service delivery with appropriate design, consistent with the requirements of Title XX. (10 points)
(7) The community commitment to and involvement in planning and implementation of the project, as demonstrated by letters of commitment and willingness to participate in the project's implementation, acceptance of referrals, etc. (10 points)
Final grant award decisions will be made by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Population Affairs. In making these decisions, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Population Affairs will take into account the extent to which applications recommended for approval will provide an appropriate geographic distribution of resources, the priorities in sec. 2005(a), and other factors including:
(1) Recommendations and scores submitted by the review panels;
(2) The geographic area to be served, particularly the needs of rural areas;
(3) The reasonableness of the estimated cost of the project based on factors such as the incidence of adolescent pregnancy in the geographic area to be served and the availability of services for adolescents in this geographic area; and
(4) The usefulness for policymakers and service providers of the proposed project and its potential for replication.
OAPP does not release information about individual applications during the review process until final funding decisions have been made. When these decisions have been made, applicants will be notified by letter of the outcome of their applications. The official document notifying an applicant that an application has been approved for funding is the Notice of Grant Award, which specifies to the grantee the amount of money awarded, the purpose of the grant, the terms and conditions of the grant award, and the amount of funding to be contributed by the grantee to project costs.

Who Bares, Wins On The American Music Awards Red Carpet!

Hosted by Pitbull and featuring performances by Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez and Iggy Azalea, Fergie, Charlie XCX, Selena Gomez and more, it was definitely a night filled with killer music.

HuDost
Open Sesame Music
Before recording this album singer Moksha Sommer was told she had a brain tumour and she didn't know if she'd make it out alive. So she co-wrote these songs and thankfully lived to tell the tale.
Opener "Trespasser" speaks of someone who feels like a trespasser not knowing if they'll be allowed to stay. The melody is upbeat and Sommer's vocals soar like an eagle. "Waiting" is slow and soft, the gorgeous vocals recalling Sarah McLachlan to a country-like hum. Producer Malcolm Burn no doubt helped shape this album's strong sound. "Salome" is slightly like a Dead Can dance song played by an Americana band. The mysticism is well played and Sommer dreamily sings of the biblical temptress. "All My guitars" is life affirming and is sung by Jemal Wade Hines for a change, and he has a nice voice too. It's fairly upbeat and edges towards Beatlesy psychedelia. HuDost's new album should appeal to many music lovers.

Saying they were tired of having to cater to homeless people and the problems that they bring, a large crowd overwhelmingly told county officials that they are not interested in having a tiny homes village for people dealing with homelessness in their neighborhoods.
Nearly 300 people packed a meeting room at the Manzano Mesa Multigenerational Center on Thursday evening for the first in a series of meetings to familiarize people with the tiny homes concept and explain the six sites that are on the table for development. Five of those sites are south of Interstate 40 and east of Louisiana.
The crowd, mostly from neighborhoods in the Southeast Heights, erupted into booing when County Commissioner Debbie O'Malley was introduced as a driving force behind the tiny homes village. Exasperated, she said she was leaving but was persuaded to stay.
It didn't get much better after that as individuals from the contentious crowd, one after another, stood at a podium to denounce the project.
Karen Little questioned why nearly all the sites were clustered in that portion of the Southeast Heights. "For once, let them pick someplace else," she said to applause.
The 116-square-foot homes are estimated to cost $17,000 to $20,000 per unit. Between 25 and 35 will be built on a chassis. They will be insulated, have heating and cooling and contain a bed, desk, chair and storage space. The units will be wired for electricity but not plumbing. Restrooms, showers, laundry and a kitchen will be in communal buildings. The money to build them, along with the infrastructure, will come from a $2 million general bond county voters approved in November 2016.
According to her math, if the homes cost $20,000 each, the 35 units would total $700,000. Based on that, the square footage cost for each of the 116 square foot units comes out to $172. "I'm blessed to live in Four Hills, but I do not have $172 a square foot," she said.
"And now you want to bring a homeless village. You want to bring something into my neighborhood? Bring a police substation," she said.
Kristi Adams lives in the Four Hills area and her mother lives at Las Colinas retirement village, adjacent to one proposed site. Adams said she regularly donates money to local homeless shelters and is aware of the issues surrounding this population.
"I don't think this is the right location because it's far from the resources where they can get food and shelter and training." Most of those providers are located north of Downtown between First and Third streets.
One of the lonely voices in the wilderness came from Matt Thomson, who lives northwest of the State Fairgrounds.
"There is a rise in crime and people are very fearful. They made it very clear that they blame the homeless. I'm disappointed that people talk about the homeless in such derogatory terms." O'Malley also expressed concern that many in the crowd may not have understood the project fully and how it could have a stabilizing effect on the neighborhood.

Let a woman become emperor, Japan's defence minister says
Taro Kono set himself apart from Japanese conservatives by calling for a female emperor upon the Chrysanthemum Throne – something observers reckon is still a long way off.
Japan's Defence Minister Taro Kono may have upset the country's conservatives by calling for women to be allowed to become emperor, but his comments have failed to generate any real debate about the future of the nation's endangered monarchy.
The veteran politician adopted a position very different from that of the vast majority of his ruling Liberal Democratic Party when he said in an interview last Sunday that the nation needed to consider alternatives to drawing a new emperor from the paternal line of the imperial family, which has been the accepted practice in Japan for more than 1,000 years.
Although Kono said he had no issues with following tradition, he pointed to issues that have arisen in recent years related to a lack of suitable heirs in the imperial family's male line.
Emperor Naruhito, who ascended to the Chrysanthemum Throne last year, only has a daughter with his wife Empress Masako, and it took several years for Crown Princess Aiko to be conceived. As women are not permitted to become emperor, an impending crisis of succession was only averted when the then-crown prince's brother, Prince Akishino, sired a son in 2006.
Now 13-year-old Prince Hisahito is the presumptive heir to the throne and is being groomed to one day become emperor. Yet he too will eventually come under pressure to produce a male heir.
Kono suggested that one way of avoiding this narrowing of focus might be to allow the male offspring of an emperor's daughters to be included in the line of succession. He similarly wondered on Sunday why branches of the imperial family that had been stripped of their status immediately after the second world war could not be welcomed back into the fold.
But it was his remarks on a future empress that was most divergent from traditionalists, although it is an opinion that he has stated previously.
Asked for a solution to the shrinking pool of male heirs to the throne, Kono said one possibility would be having a female emperor, "beginning with Princess Aiko".
Responding to a follow-up question at a press conference two days later, Kono reiterated his position on the future of the nation's monarchy.
"It is necessary for the people to understand the imperial crisis and to think at an early stage about what to do in the event of succession to the throne," he said.
He concurred that a male emperor is "most desirable" and agreed that since the birth of Prince Hisahito the issue can be put off, but added that stable succession to the throne is becoming "quite risky".
Yoichi Shimada, a conservative academic with ties to the LDP, described Kono's comments as "no surprise because he's quite liberal".
"This was an urgent issue a few years ago, but it has been resolved for many decades now because of the birth of Prince Hisahito," Shimada said.
"But I agree that it would be desirable to at least open this discussion again as it is not impossible that something could happen to the prince."
Not only could an accident befall the heir presumptive, Shimada said, but there are also concerns for his safety after an incident in April last year when a man managed to get into the boy's exclusive school in Tokyo and left two kitchen knives on his desk.
Shimada's solution to the succession problem is one that is frequently put forward by conservatives who still chafe at the laws imposed upon Japan by the Allies after its defeat in 1945. Allied General Headquarters in 1947 ordered that 11 branches be sheared off the imperial family tree and that their members be considered commoners.
"I believe it would be possible – and the right thing to do – to restore those families' status as members of the imperial family," he said. "There are enough families to guarantee sufficient male heirs, which would solve the issue of succession."
Hiromi Murakami, a political-science professor at the Tokyo campus of Temple University, said conservatives appear to be tying themselves up in knots to find a way to keep a woman off the throne.
"They insist that there is no way that a woman can take the throne again, but I do not understand their logic," she said, pointing out that Japan has had empresses in the past and that previous emperors had several concubines so it was easy to produce sons.
Current Prime Minister Shinzo Abe strongly criticised a report commissioned by his predecessor Junichiro Koizumi in the early 2000s recommending that a woman be permitted to become emperor and in February scrapped another study group set up to consider solutions to the problem.
"This is a core, fundamental value of Abe and other conservatives in the Diet and I am sure that Kono's comments will have upset them, but there has been very little reaction," Murakami said.
Japanese media mentioned Kono's comments in passing – the conservative Yomiuri newspaper devoted three paragraphs to them and the more right-wing Sankei gave them five – but the editorials have remained silent, so far.
"A lot of students read heavily promoted right-wing news magazines and that inevitably shapes the way that they see things," said Murakami. "It's a little scary that the younger generations have so easily adopted conservative attitudes, while young women, even today, are constantly under pressure from what they read or see on television, from family, friends and neighbours to get married and settle down.
"It's almost as if they are brainwashed and they do what they believe is expected of them, and Abe and the conservatives want to reinforce those attitudes and values."
As a consequence, Murakami said she believes that a Japanese empress is still many years off.

Judge won't drop charges for former gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A federal judge in Florida has refused to throw out criminal charges against Andrew Gillum, disagreeing with the former Democratic gubernatorial nominee's assertions that he was the victim of selective prosecution because he was a Black candidate for governor.
Gillum and a colleague were indicted earlier this year on federal charges including conspiracy, wire fraud and making false statements to FBI agents. Prosecutors said Gillum funneled donations through third parties back to himself for personal use.
According to prosecutors, Gillum met with undercover FBI agents posing as developers while he was mayor of Tallahassee and during his campaign for governor. His associates sought donations from the agents, and suggested ways to provide money without listing them as political contributions, including paying for a fundraising dinner, according to the indictment.
MyPillow CEO questions DeSantis 2022 election win: 'I don't believe it'
Gillum has pleaded not guilty and denied the charges, saying they were politically motivated.
Saying the defendants' arguments were "meritless," U.S. District Judge Allen Winsor last week dismissed four motions from the defendants challenging the continuation of the prosecution.
Gillum had asked that the charges be dismissed because prosecutors delayed filing them and he was being prosecuted because of his race and politics. The judge who was appointed by former President Donald Trump said Gillum had offered nothing to support the claim of selective prosecution because of his race or politics.
Gillum, who is Black, was the Democratic gubernatorial nominee in 2018 and narrowly lost the race to Republican Ron DeSantis. After losing, Gillum was still seen as a rising star in Democratic politics and was hired as a CNN analyst.
Then, in March 2020, Gillum was found intoxicated and unconscious in a hotel room with two men, including one who works as a male escort. Two days later he entered a rehabilitation center, and later did a television interview in which he said he's bisexual.
