Ly Thuch praises Malaysian businesmen for helping rebuild Kingdom

KUALA LUMPUR (FMT) – Cambodian Senior Minister Ly Thuch has acknowledged that Malaysian businessmen played a large role in turning his country from a ruined state into a nation with a booming economy.
He told online news portal Free Malaysia Today that Malaysians were among the first people to invest in Cambodia after three decades of war and famine had left it with nothing to offer "other than ashes".
"We had nothing left," he said. "Almost all our intellectuals had been killed by the Khmer Rouge.
"We needed teachers and we needed midwives, hospitals, schools, houses, roads, clothing, everything. And Malaysians came forward to invest."
Cambodia's economy, driven by tourism and garment exports, is now one of the fastest growing in Southeast Asia. According to the World Bank, it is among the fastest growing in the world, averaging at eight percent between 1998 and 2018.
Mr Thuch was in Malaysia to receive the CHT International Achievement Award in Kuala Lumpur. The CHT Awards is a biennial event organised by CHTNetwork to honour world-class achievements of exceptional individuals from various countries who have inspired the world over and played a significant role in their contribution towards helping others.
Malaysian entrepreneurs first entered the ravaged country to produce textiles and Mr Thuch noted that the textile industry has since grown into one that is worth $12 billion a year in exports.
He said Malaysian businesses also started the construction sector in Cambodia, "which is now still booming".
Among other businesses engaged in by Malaysians are those that come under the education, telecommunications, banking and tourism sectors.
Mr Thuch said these were benefitting Cambodians through transfer of knowledge and employment.
"From ashes, we are now heading for the skies," he said.
Mr Thuch, who is the First vice-president and secretary-general of Cambodia's Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority, also spoke of efforts to clear his country of landmines left over from years of war.
"We are now aiming to free our country of landmines by 2025," he said, adding that the areas cleared so far would constitute three times the size of Singapore.
"We have another 2,000 square kilometres to clear, mostly located in rural areas and forests."
He said one landmine could kill an entire family and more than 20 percent of Cambodia's children had been handicapped by mine blasts.
"The government couldn't build schools or hospitals until landmines were cleared," he said.
For the effort, Cambodia spends between $7 million and $10 million a year, with another $30 million coming from Japan, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. South Korea will join the list of donors next year.
According to Mr Thuch, families living in areas free of land mines earn nearly four times more than those in the danger zones.
He said Cambodians are hungry for success as the government looks at upgrading the workforce with IT skills and improving human resources and the use of English.

How to Manage a Candidate Who Doesn't Play by the Rules
View all blog posts under Articles | View all blog posts under Master's in Political Management Online
President-elect Donald Trump doesn't play by conventional political rules. While he has steadily presented himself as an outsider, some political analysts believe that Trump differs from previous outsiders in that the political elites no longer have the power they once had to exclude candidates who rail against the systems. By leveraging this fact, and the nearly constant media attention, Trump caught the attention of voters across America who were tired of what they perceived to be the "same old, same old" in the political arena.
The 2016 presidential race emphasized the rising power of outsider candidates. From Republican candidate Ben Carson to Democratic nominee runner-up Senator Bernie Sanders,
these outsiders tapped into the true psyche and needs of conservative and liberal voters. Their respective messages resonated with people, beyond party affiliations and convention.
As the common belief is that politicians will say anything to get elected, voters were less enthusiastic about veteran, mainstream party members such as Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio who represented "the establishment," rather than the people. Voters wanted change – and so millions of Americans cast their ballots for Trump.
While the 2016 presidential election has a lot to offer in terms of lessons for candidates and campaign managers alike, one of the main takeaways is how to effectively manage a candidate who doesn't play by the rules. Essentially, how does Trump being elected to the presidency demonstrate the best way for campaign managers to handle an outsider candidate? Here are the top three considerations to pay attention to:
1. Trump's team listened to voters – not other politicians
Whether or not you agree with the tone of his message, Trump's team did make it a point to listen to his voters, not to other politicians. During his campaign, he was famous for telling his supporters that should he become the next president, he would give them everything they ever wanted. From building a wall on the Mexican border to slowing the influx of illegal immigration to bringing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., his many controversial promises struck a chord with many unsatisfied voters.
Even if Trump does not intend to follow through on renegotiating NAFTA or completely repealing the Affordable Care Act, his campaign management team encouraged him to refuse to play by typical political rules and listen to the voters, rather than follow in his GOP predecessors' footsteps.
When managing a candidate as unruly and polarizing as Trump, it may be best to listen to what the people want – not what the system wants. In this way, Trump's followers felt more connected with his campaign and came out in droves to vote for him. Basically, if your candidate is an outsider, embrace what the supporters want, don't just tell them what they should hope to happen.
2. Trump's team ran his campaign like a business
While Trump might not have political experience, his years of business dealings have taught him something about running a successful operation. Though he has experienced several setbacks, such as filing for bankruptcy and the now defunct Trump University, there is little doubt that Trump runs a universally recognizable brand. Trump was able to emerge right back on top, no matter what struggles or controversies he encountered throughout his business and reality show careers.
Trump's team approached his campaign in much the same manner. While scandal after scandal threatened to slow down his political momentum, Trump wasn't afraid to stay true to his unique brand. He frequently promised his supporters that he was going to run the country like a business – despite his own failings – and refused to take no for an answer even though he faced seemingly insurmountable odds.
Campaign managers can use this business-like attitude when approaching their own unruly candidates. Whether your candidate is running on an outsider's platform or struggles to overcome past controversies, it's important to approach each situation by sticking true to your candidate's brand. Just like with Trump, even if you think the odds are not in your candidate's favor, if they stay true to their brand and don't apologize for circumstances they cannot change, you may see their appeal rise among a select set of the electorate.
3. Trump's team encouraged him to lean into his outsider message and honest approach
Unlike traditional conservatives, Trump's policies and overall message pushed the boundaries of Republican norms, drawing in an entirely new or frequently ignored voter base. He appealed to white, rural voters who felt overlooked by both the GOP and the Democratic Party, aligning himself as an outsider who would solve their problems. Hitting on hot-button issues such as immigration, national security and the economy that resonated with lower income, less educated voters, along with many other conservatives who were concerned about rising insurance premiums and taxes.
Much like running Trump's campaign like a business, his team also encouraged him to lean into this outsider message and controversial running style rather than shy away from it. His advisors realized that these voters didn't want a candidate who spoke, acted and thought like the rest of the politicians in Washington D.C.
These people wanted someone who wouldn't be afraid to voice the very concerns they had been raising for years, but were frequently ignored or put down. What Trump's team did right was letting Trump be as transparent as possible with his supporters, thus shattering previous notions that political candidates are not truthful or will do anything in their power to get elected.
Additionally, instead of regulating his Twitter account, his team seemingly let him run wild, doing everything from mocking his revival's spouses to posting conspiracy theory links without vetting their credibility. While other political candidates were concentrated on being respectful and not offending anyone on social media, Trump's team threw caution to the wind and embraced this unconventional approach.
What you can learn from this situation is that your candidate should not be afraid to be him or herself in person and online. As an outsider, supporters will demand a certain level of authenticity, which is unheard of in the rest of the political spectrum. Whether or not Trump was being honest during his campaign, he did convince a portion of the country that he meant what he said.
While there is not likely to be another major candidate on the same outsider level as Trump, his campaign offers many insights into how campaign advisors can successfully manage future candidates who also don't want to play by traditional rules.

Most input data is entered into the computer by using a keyboard. This input method is similar to typing on a typewriter. Computer keyboards include keys that are designed to perform specific tasks. These special keys include function keys, directional keys and special-purpose keys such as Alt, Ctrl, Enter, Ins, and Esc. These keys enable the user to perform complex tasks easily when using the application.
For example, many applications use a function key to access online help for the user. Some new keyboards have even 110 keys, with three new keys designed to simplify working with Windows 95. Two of these keys, next to the Alt key, bring up the Start menu. The third key, next to the right Ctrl key, brings up a menu of functions that are frequently accessed in whichever application is currently being used.
'Scan code' of the key and sends it to the operating system. A copy of this code is also stored in the keyboard's memory. When the operating system reads the scan code, it informs the same to the keyboard and the scan code stored in keyboard's memory is then erased.

dEXTRIS for iOS
May 16, 2014 by Chris Wilson in gaming
From full-on ports of console shooters to completely stripped down "tap to jump" endless runners, we never really seem to escape the discussion of what kind of games work best on a small touchscreen device. Which makes sense, because it's really hard to get this stuff right — especially when it comes to the controls themselves.
Having said that, dEXTRIS is especially interesting because it's one of the few games that feels like it was designed around the control scheme — an approach famously used by Flappy Bird creator/developer Dong Nguyen, who wanted people to be able to play on the go, with "one hand holding the train strap."
Whereas Flappy Bird optimized the single-handed control system, Chaotic Box's Frank Condello has focused on another familiar grip — the same one we all use when thumb-typing in portrait orientation. Take a look at AppSpy's gameplay video above to see it in action.
Condello already has a few iOS cult classics under his belt, and one thing they have in common that the competition often lacks is finely-tuned responsiveness. But now that the "twitch" genre popularized by Super Hexagon and Pivvot (and of course the aforementioned Flappy Bird) has blown up, Condello's penchant for creating fast-paced and, frankly, really difficult, games will hopefully gain him a broader following. He's often tweeted in the past about the monumental challenge of making a living as an iOS game dev, but since dEXTRIS is free and ad-supported, all it would take is the right combination of circumstances for him to be making some serious daily bank à la Dong Nguyen.
Of course, dEXTRIS doesn't feature a cute bug-eyed bird and nostalgic Marioesque pipes.
The bottom line is that dEXTRIS is pure, in almost the same way that Flappy Birds was. Do one simple yet super tough thing for as long as you can. And then do it again. And again. Until you want to throw your phone at the wall.
If that sort of thing appeals to you, I promise you: dEXTRIS is gonna totally be your jam, as it is mine.
dEXTRIS is free on the App Store.

Share the post "Quick plays: CLIMAX BLUES, THE LUCID DREAM"
The PR sheet says there has been a country music revival in the UK and that certainly bears up given the success of artists like Lady Antebellum and Taylor Swift (although you could argue she has gone more mainstream pop now).
Lucy May has already had airplay for her previous single 'Paper Heart', most notably on BBC Radio 2. This four song EP is released ahead of her album due in April. The title track is a fast paced country pop tune, very radio friendly and Lucy May has a melodious voice. 'Hooked On Your Love' is a tad more traditional country with its pedal steel guitar in the background. The other two songs are acoustic versions of 'Hole In My Heart' and 'Hold You In My Arms', both show off her strong vocal.
This album is a collaboration between Robin George and Pete Haycock (he was involved in the first ELO Part II line-up), one of the founding members of the Climax Blues Band (note this CD I guess couldn't used the 'Band' tag as the band are still going!). This was recorded in 2013 and sadly shortly after completion Pete Haycock passed away in October 2013.
It is an interesting mix of styles, as you have the blues rock of Pete Haycock shining through on 'Blue Monday' and then on the pacy 'Miss You', those hook filled choruses that Robin George does so well work to great effect on a big blues riff.
Great to hear two guitarists having a blast (check out the soloing on 'Lonely Avenue' amazing stuff), with the sax of Mel Collins really adding to the soul/funk sound on a couple of songs. Jacquie Williams is the album's secret weapon as she adds oomph into the backing vocals and gets the odd spot to show her vocal strength.
The Crunch release a new single, 'Neon Madonna', ahead of their new album due in April. The band are a bit of punk/alt rock supergroup as the line-up includes the Clash's drummer Terry Chimes, Sulo Karlsson of the Diamond Dogs and Mick Geggus of the Cockney Rejects.
This is the band's third album and they formed om Carlisle back in 2008. For a four piece they certainly create a wall of sound as the reviews from their earlier albums suggest. They reminded me a lot of the Stone Roses at times with their extended trippy musical passages.

An acquaintance recently told me that her special-needs dog was having a hard time getting on and off the couch because jumping was difficult. She wasn't familiar with dog ramps, so I told her about the low-cost DIY dog ramp we created to help ease Peanut's travel up and down from "her spot" on the couch.
The alternative is to lift me up and down at my command. The choice is yours.
We decided a few years ago that it would be best to keep Peanut from jumping on and off furniture to limit the impact to her wrist joint, which was progressively getting weaker over time. We tried doggie stairs that we bought from the store but were unhappy with the product. The width of the stairs was too narrow, the woolly fabric that loosely covered the bumpy plastic was too thin, and the whole frame was just light enough to be wobbly under Peanut's weight as she moved, freaking us both out. We checked out manufactured dog ramps as well, but they were either too industrial or just too expensive. Our little Goldilocks needed something that was just right.
Since what we needed was just a simple, sturdy board, we made our own. We went to our local big box home improvement store to browse wooden boards. An associate assured us several times that our particular selection would more than support the weight of a 17 pound dog. (The ramp actually supports me, and I'm a few stones heavier.) In addition to having the board cut there to our specifications, we also purchased some inexpensive carpet off the roll that would not snag on her nails and that I thought would nicely compliment the room colors.
After stapling the carpet to the board and doing a practice run with Peanut, we quickly learned that we needed something to create more friction under paw. The carpet fibers were a bit too slick. I happened to have several rolls of rubber non-slip liners, so we secured a roll of that over the carpet. It did the trick beautifully, creating the resistance she needed to safely walk up and down the ramp.
Non-slip rubber liner wrapped across the length of the board (could also use a non-slip carpet or rug pad) Our rolls of rubber liners happen to be intended to line tool box drawers. I've also seen similar liners sold for use in kitchen drawers that keep items from sliding around.
We kept it simple but I could have easily added decorative trim to the sides just for fun.
Back of dog ramp, carpet and non-slip pad stapled to the board.
The weight of the ramp resting at an angle on the carpet makes it quite sturdy. It does not budge at all when Peanut trots up or down, not even when she puts a bit of speed into her dismount. We don't use it on tile flooring, but I did set the ramp up on our tile floor in the kitchen to see what would happen-specifically whether or not it would slip. It did not slip, likely due to the weight and the rubber non-skid liner wrapped around the bottom that rested against tile. I would still make sure that if using on a slick surface like tile that you test to verify that the ramp will not slide. Otherwise, ensure you add a stopper to prevent sliding or even make the ramp triangular, the way many other DIY ramps are constructed.
The board can be placed under the couch if we need it out of view, but that doesn't happen too often. A handle could also be drilled in to the side for ease of grabbing and sliding under furniture.
Training should be pretty quick and easy for a food-motivated dog. We held a treat at the base of the ramp, called out "ramp" and gave Peanut a treat. We then held the treat a few inches higher up the ramp, forcing her to take two steps up to reach the treat. As she did that, we called out "ramp" and gave her the treat. We repeated this process every couple of inches until she walked herself up the ramp and on to the couch. We lavishly praised her for a job well done, and promptly started the process of going back down. She picked up the new skill very quickly. Now, we just call out "ramp" when we need to direct her on or off the couch.
My online searches for DIY dog ramps didn't turn up the best results, so I offer up this idea to anyone who needs such an aid as part of their pet's occupational therapy.
Update 6/26/13: Since this is by far my most popular page, I would love to get more feedback if you tried this little project yourself and how it worked for you. Thanks!
Thanks so much for your reply Amy! I'm glad that you think the idea is useful for your design, good luck! No, I find that there is hardly anything that we pug parents won't do for them.
Thanks so much for saying that!! Peanut is a wonderful girl.
Thanks Raquel, I hope this works out for your Boston too!
Hi Colleen, how kind of you to give those puggies a 2nd chance and try to ease their mobility. It sounds like these stairs are outside? My husband said that the rubber liner might not hold up well outdoors but thought that something like AstroTurf might afford durability while providing some resistance against slipping. I'm positive that the store had outdoor-use carpet as well as inexpensive synthetic grass available off the role. Maybe large pieces of those types of material would hold up to the elements while allowing puggie to keep his grip. I'm also aware that some stores also sell non-slip tape for outdoor use (I've never tried it) but that might also be a possibility with your materials. Thanks for your reply and good luck!
I love adopting the old pugs. They are so beautiful and so is yours. Thanks for the suggestions. I ordered my ramp right after I read your blog. I will use outdoor carpet but I think I am still going to try the liner first because nothing moves on it in the kitchen and I think astro turf still might be too slippery. I live in So. Calif and unfortunately at the moment we don't have any elements, particularly rain so I think it might be OK. I really appreciate all of your ideas.
Great article. I tried something like this but ended up purchasing this: http://www.loadingrampstore.com/cat/Dog-Ramps-and-Pet-Stairs/1.html. It ended up being cheaper than the materials.
Thanks Robin, I appreciate the comment. Glad you were able to find a good, easy, inexpensive solution.
Going to try this with a very large board outside to eliminate the steps for two dogs, one Bichon and one Carolina Dingo, but both with issues. Husband says it won't work, I say it will. I'll let you know!
Hi Susan, thanks for checking this out and giving it a try. We're in the same camp that anything to help make things a little easier on them is worth the effort. Hopefully your husband will soon be saying, "OK…you were right." 🙂 Good luck!!
Thanks for the idea! My senior cat loves jumping from my couch to floor. He currently has a cushioned stool but had an accident recently and did not fully make it to the stool and hurt himself. I believe the ramp will be a lot more ideal and safer, cutting out the jumping up and down. Thanks again for your post!!
Thanks so much for your comment, Brittany. Poor guy! Hopefully he takes to the ramp quickly and enjoys taking the easy route on and off the couch. Good luck!


I am deeply protective of my ME time, in a way I never knew before. I don't think it came so much out of a conscious decision to protect my time. Rather, it came out of an intense desire to focus on a personal goal and to pay attention to my physical and emotional needs on a daily basis.
I recently spent about 4 months diving into a fitness challenge/contest, where the grand prize was to be on the cover of Oxygen magazine. While I wasn't dead set on getting on the cover, I was going to make sure I put in the work to give myself every possibility. The caveat was that I wanted to do it in a healthy way, with balance and attention to my energy levels and daily needs.
I have had adrenal fatigue and am still not over that hurdle. I may never be fully free of adrenal fatigue, and that's probably a good thing. I have a habit (I won't say it's good or bad) of diving in to something I am passionate about and pushing my limits. My body has finally learned to tell me when to slow down. Or, perhaps, I just finally learned to listen.
While some of this may seem extreme, it was so good for me to be able to say yes to what I was doing and no to distraction, to know that I was making the decision to honor the commitment I had made for 3 short months. I needed that.
Yesterday, I realized that I am feeling lonely, but then I don't make an effort to go out and be with people. At first, that felt so contradictory, but I really don't want to go to the effort of being with people just because I am lonely. I want to reach out to people from a good space, not a space of lack.
I am getting to know myself. I am giving myself the space for creativity, allowing the space to try new things, revisit the things I love, allow spontaneity and experimentation.
There is a void in my life after the challenge, and nature abhors a vacuum. As long as I allow the void, the goodness will flow in. I don't need to fill it myself for the sake of filling it. Let nature and inspiration do that!
109- Who moved my mirror?
This is why it is divine to be alone… this is why getting self right within is vital… this is why exclusive love is an illusion… this is why being ones own beloved is perfect… this is why spending sacred self time in the reflection of another in a vibrational frequency that is elevated, is a sublime exchange and to walk away whole and in peace simply is a beautiful expression of love... with zero attachment, feeling blessed and content.
All of this is a lovely reminder of time with my beloved, and with those beloved in my life who partake in the dance of divine being, who reflect all the beauty we share and bring me closer and closer to my self, my first beloved.
To my beloveds, you live in my heart, always.

Severe Allergic Reactions to COVID-19 Vaccines Occurring at Higher Rate Than Flu Shots
A general view of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) headquarters in Atlanta on Sept. 30, 2014. (Tami Chappell/Reuters)
PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMATION
CDC Says It Hasn't Seen 'USA Variant' of COVID-19
January 9, 2021 Updated: January 10, 2021
A federal health agency has rejected the notion that a new variant of COVID-19 that originated in the United States exists.
"Researchers have been monitoring U.S. strains since the pandemic began, including 5,700 samples collected in November and December," a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spokesman told news outlets on Jan. 8.
"To date, neither researchers nor analysts at CDC have seen the emergence of a particular variant in the United States, as has been seen with the emergence of B.1.1.7 in the United Kingdom or B.1.351 in South Africa," he added.
The White House Coronavirus Task Force told states in a report last week that there may be a "USA variant" of COVID-19.
"This fall/winter surge has been at nearly twice the rate of rise of cases as the spring and summer surges. This acceleration suggests there may be a USA variant that has evolved here, in addition to the UK variant that is already spreading in our communities and may be 50 percent more transmissible," the report stated.
"Aggressive mitigation must be used to match a more aggressive virus; without uniform implementation of effective face masking (two- or three-ply and well-fitting) and strict social distancing, epidemics could quickly worsen as these variants spread and become predominant."
The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Several new variants of COVID-19 have been detected in recent weeks, including B.1.1.7 in the UK. While that variant is more easily transmitted than the main COVID-19 strain, it doesn't appear to be deadlier, authorities say.
U.S. officials said the UK strain has been detected in the United States, but currently makes up a small percentage of total cases.
Both the United States and United Kingdom this week recorded their highest daily death tolls from the CCP virus this week. The U.S. toll topped 4,000 for the first time, while the UK recorded 1,325 deaths on Jan. 7.


Halloween Decorations for Work – You've come to the right place if you're looking for work-appropriate Halloween costume ideas. Over the years, I've gone as a housewife, an alien, a clown, a gypsy fortune teller, an Indian, a hobo, a cow, an oversized kid, a witch, an old lady, a Ty Beenie Baby, and more. Below, you'll find a list of things to consider, some great costume ideas, and links to other articles on Halloween topics. I've been fortunate to work for employers who enjoy the fun of Halloween and also enjoy giving back to the community.
One employer hosted a trick-or-treating event for handicapped and under-privileged children. These children often missed out on the traditional Halloween activities because of their handicaps. On Halloween, the children were bused to our workplace and the entire office dressed up and passed out candy to them. Many of them couldn't walk and were wheeled through in wheelchairs and wagons. You could tell from the looks on their faces that they loved our costumes and the fun atmosphere.

Missouri funding up to $1 million in biodiesel infrastructure projects
The Missouri Agricultural and Small Business Development Authority announced Sept. 2 the Biofuel Infrastructure Incentive Program to increase the distribution and use of biofuels in the state of Missouri. Funds will be awarded to fuel retailers, fuel distributors, terminal companies or fleet operations that dispense, or will soon store or dispense, ethanol blends of E15 or higher or biodiesel blends of B6 or higher.
Applications are due Oct. 29 and projects receiving funds will be notified no later than Nov. 30.
The MASBDA Board of Directors has approved up to $2 million for the Biofuel Infrastructure Incentive Program, with half appropriated to biodiesel projects and half appropriated to ethanol projects. Applicants must be a business entity that is constructing new, retrofitting or improving existing infrastructure or equipment that handles biodiesel fuel, biodiesel blend fuel or ethanol blended gasoline at a facility in Missouri. The project may include multiple locations within the state. The maximum award per category (ethanol or biodiesel) to any single entity is 50 percent of eligible costs, or $250,000, whichever is less.
"An investment in expanding Missouri's biofuel infrastructure is an investment in Missouri agriculture," said Jill Wood, MASBDA executive director. "Biofuel production increases the demand for two of Missouri's top commodities, corn and soybeans, and also benefits livestock producers in the form of soybean meal and dried distiller grains."
Funds may be used for, but are not limited to, costs associated with the construction, installation, upgrade or retrofit of:
Fuel dispensers/pumps
Related/attached equipment
Underground or above-ground storage tanks
Tank system components
Other infrastructure located in Missouri with the sole purpose to ensure the environmentally safe availability of blends of ethanol or biodiesel
"Biodiesel is a Missouri-made, renewable fuel that supports Missouri soybean farmers and provides more options for fuel suppliers and fleets," said Kyle Durham, chairman of the Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council. "This program is an important step in our efforts to build new demand and access for biodiesel and growth for our economy here in the state."
Within each fuel category, up to 75 percent of the funds will be awarded to Tier 1 projects and up to 25 percent of funds will be awarded to Tier 2 projects.
Tier 1—Any terminal company, fuel distributor or fuel retailer with more than five locations.
Tier 2—Any fuel retailer with five or fewer station, fleet operations or individual businesses.
Earlier this year, MASBDA awarded nearly $700,000 in funds that will improve and expand infrastructure of the biofuel industry in Missouri by more than 14 million gallons.

Silver Creek WetlandSeminarAdmin2018-04-24T03:06:27+00:00
The Provincially Significant Silver Creek Wetland is the most important remaining coastal wetland on southern Georgian Bay. It is an important migratory stop for birds and home to a wealth of fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. This includes four species of turtle, seven species of frog, at least two species of snake, salamanders, egrets, trout and salmon, beaver, mink, muskrat, fox, coyote, deer, songbirds, many breeding birds and birds stopping to recharge on their way north or south. Silver Creek Wetland also plays an important role in fish spawning.
In addition to providing a home for wildlife of many kinds, the Silver Creek Wetland provides other valuable ecological services. It improves water quality, reduces flood damage and erosion, and contributes to recharge and discharge of groundwater. It also mitigates sedimentation of the Bay.
More development
Our plan for the Silver Creek Wetlands
Chris Ballard, Minister of the Environment and Climate Change
The Silver Creek Wetland is an area covering approximately 180 hectares (450 acres) along the shore of Nottawasaga Bay spanning the municipalities of the Town of Collingwood and Town of Blue Mountains. Two streams feed the wetland: Silver Creek, an exceptionally clean and pure trout/salmon stream, and Townline Creek, which is smaller, not quite as pure, but nevertheless provides important cold water fish habitat. The Silver Creek Wetland extends along both sides of Highway 26 west of Collingwood, with its centre point located somewhere north of the intersection of the eastern end of Silver Creek Drive and Highway 26, towards East Black Bass Bay.
The first significant issue, and the reason that the Watershed Trust was formed in 1995, was that a developer wanted to turn the Silver Creek Wetland into a golf course. We won that battle, ultimately resulting in a portion of the Wetland's official designation as Provincially Significant. Read more about the formation of the Blue Mountain Watershed Trust.
The Wetland is all privately owned. Authorities such as Conservation Authorities and the Ministry of Natural Resources must have owners' permission to enter and monitor. Only when there is a development proposal are owners obliged to allow access for evaluation purposes. Agencies cannot simply evaluate the wellbeing of endangered and threatened species and ensure a healthy habitat.
There are several housing developments planned for parts of the Wetland that do not fall under the designation of Provincially Significant:
Consulate East
Consulate West
70 & 80 Madeleine Drive
Huntingwood Trails
The Watershed Trust is in discussions with the Town of Collingwood, the Nottawasaga Conservation Authority and the developers about the approval and the detail of these plans.
Private ownership of the Wetlands not only limits conservation officials' access, but also limits public enjoyment of the wetlands. We believe that it's important to get these lands out of private hands when the opportunity arises.
To that end, we put forward {The Silver Creek Wetland – A Vision for the Future} in 20XX. [LINK to document] Our vision includes transferring management of the Wetland and its sensitive portions—those that by law must remain unaltered—from landowners either to the relevant municipality or to a Conservation Authority (CA) such as the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority.
The Collingwood Town Council the Blue Mountains Town Council, the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority and the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority have endorsed our proposal. It was also presented to the Niagara Escarpment Commission (NEC) in 20XX.
"The NVCA is the logical steward for this delicate ecosystem," observed Norman Wingrove, President of the Watershed Trust. "Without their monitoring and management, adjacent development will degrade the area, diminishing its ability to provide healthy habitat for birds, turtles, fish and mammals."
To date, no landowners have expressed interest in passing stewardship of the parts of their land that cannot be developed to a CA or municipality.
You can help the Trust in its efforts by becoming a member or by making a tax-deductible donation. As a member, you have the option of taking an active role in fighting development within the Silver Creek Wetland. One of the most important things you can do is to write and express your concerns to your local MPP and to:

The return of the legend
The new Montblanc Heritage Egyptomania collection reawakens the spirit of exploration
Eternal Egypt, Eternally Fascinating
From Roman emperors to modern-day travellers, ancient Egypt has captivated the imagination for millennia. Seduced by the allure and mystery of the land of the pharaohs, early 20th century explorers set out on expeditions to uncover secret treasures. The discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb and the mysteries inside it created one of the biggest cultural events of the 20th century. A new era of Egyptomania has dawned influencing every part of the arts and intellectual life - from the Art Deco movement through films and literature to unique writing instruments.
"Elegant combination of vintage
flair and the spirit of exploration."
Like one of the many breath-taking discoveries unearthed by the great archaeologists on expeditions down the Nile, the Montblanc Heritage Egyptomania collection brings back one of its own iconic treasures from the past. The so-called Montblanc 'Egyptian Fountain Pen' from the 1920s, featuring an elegant octagonal shape and Egyptian style engravings, is reimagined for today's writing culture enthusiasts, combining vintage flair and the spirit of exploration.
Write Like an Egyptian
Created in partnership with an expert Egyptologist, the octagonal precious resin cap of the writing instrument is decorated with authentic hieroglyphs that translate as "white stone mountain", denoting Montblanc. The barrel of the Doué is inscribed with hieroglyphs from the ancient "Book of the Dead" – one of the most important Egyptology discoveries that contains magic spells intended to assist while journeying through the underworld to access the afterlife. The 14K gold nib on the fountain pen features an embossed scarab – a sacred ancient Egyptian beetle – and a triangular heart-hole that offers a softer writing style, reminiscent of historical Montblanc fountain pens.
The Montblanc Heritage Egyptomania Edition is made up of two editions, each available as a fountain pen, ballpoint pen and rollerball pen. Start your own writing adventure, shop the collection at Montblanc boutiques worldwide or online.
Turning writing instruments into works of art, the new Montblanc Heritage Egyptomania - A Revival of Ancient Egyptian Treasures brings to life the glory of Ancient Egypt. Reminiscent of the richly decorated exterior of King Tutankhamun's sarcophagus, the yellow gold exterior is inspired by the precious objects found in his tomb. The solid gold heritage nib features a crook and flail design - a symbol for the divine authority of the kings and queens of Egypt – and is set with a diamond. The turquoise scarab beetle opening mechanism, decorated with carnelian, opens to reveal the writing instrument.
It is only fitting that one of the greatest civilizations to ever exist is honoured with craftsmanship at its best.

At 14,491', Mt. Whitney is the tallest peak in the lower 48 States. The best place to view the mountain is right where we were staying -- in Lone Pine, California.
On our last day, the clouds kept taunting us by keeping the peak hidden. But just before we headed back to L. A., they took pity on us and drifted away so that we could get a clear look at the mountain.
We we going to drive up to the Mt. Whitney Portal, about 10 miles from the base of the mountain, but the road was still closed by snow.

Capsaicin is an external analgesic available in over-the-counter (OTC) medicines that temporarily relieve minor aches and pains associated with arthritis, simple backache, strains and sprains, and bruises. Capsaicin is also the chemical that makes chili peppers taste hot. When used as an active ingredient in topical pain relief medicines, capsaicin produces a warming sensation in the treated area. It can be found in single- and multi-ingredient topical pain relievers.
What is capsaicin used to treat?
How much capsaicin can you take?
Different types of products containing this active ingredient have different strengths. That's why it is always important to read and follow the Drug Facts label. Most medicines warn against use of an active ingredient for longer than 7-10 days. Stop use and ask a doctor if symptoms persist.
Capsaicin is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is safe and effective when used according to label directions. These products are for external use only. After applying a topical pain reliever containing capsaicin, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. If you are using the medicine to treat hand pain, you should wash your hands after 30 minutes. These products are for external use only.
Talk to a healthcare provider before using the medicine on a child under the age of 18.
You are allergic to chili peppers.
Do not bandage, use a heating pad on, or expose the treated area to heat or direct sunlight.
Do not apply the medicine before or after strenuous exercise.
Do not apply the medicine to wounds, or damaged, broken, or irritated skin.
Do not apply the medicine immediately after taking a bath or shower.
Your condition worsens or if symptoms last for more than seven days or clear up and return again within a few days.
Redness is present or irritation develops.
A severe burning sensation occurs.
You accidentally swallow the medicine, or get it into your eyes or nose mucous membranes. Immediately contact a healthcare provider or the poison control national helpline at 800.222.1222.
A temporary burning sensation may occur upon application but usually disappears in several days.


Exterminate the competition with this Doctor Who-inspired tumbling tower game.
The officially licensed game comes with 36 wooden pieces, each of which is colored TARDIS-blue. Printed on the blocks is the fictional time machine. And no, the blocks are not bigger on the inside.
The goal is to build the TARDIS tower and then take it apart one brick at a time. Similar to Jenga, the more bricks that are removed, the more wibbly wobbly the tower gets!
You can get the tumbling tower game through Amazon for $53.28.

Music albums on the decrease in urban music
By Lyonike Mughogho on Dec 13, 2017 Entertainment
Malawian musicians in urban circles are in the present day dodging production of albums, a development considered detrimental to the industry's growth.
Very few musicians are focused on producing albums followed by a proper launch. Instead, most artists opt for mixtapes which are judged to be less serious projects. This is owed to a number of factors.
Nathu: It is quite true that most artists are concentrating on singles.
Financial factors are mostly drawing back production of albums among urban artists in the country. Most artists do not have promoters who can facilitate production and distribution of copies in the country.
In an interview with Malawi24, award winning radio personality Joy Nathu of MBC Radio 2 also cited the financial factor while emphasizing on the importance of albums.
"It is quite true that most artists are concentrating on singles. I would say that it's due to financial capabilities of the artists because if you observe you shall find that most of the artists we have are youthful and they manage and sponsor themselves," he said.
The renowned radio personality noted that an album is very important as it helps musicians grow. He added that it also help musicians to get new listeners due to song variety.
"It's important for every artist to understand that an album is valuable and it assists in growth as well as gaining new listeners due to the variety of concepts of songs in an album."
Death of the buying culture is another factor that is affecting production of albums. With the emergence of music websites where music can be downloaded, the audience ignore compact disks. This is because it is cheaper to download than to buy a music collection.
Nathu believes that musicians who work on albums can help in enhancing the buying culture.
"Artists who work on albums can assist build a buying culture among Malawians. Right now the buying culture is dying because artists are not releasing enough albums. Another problem is the few albums released are not made available and accessible."
On the contrary the grass is greener on the non-urban side where albums production are order of the day.

We are rapidly approaching our arrival to your beautiful island on Easter weekend. My wife and I are not vegetarian, however we do eat a lot of fresh fruit and veggies with fish and a bit of poultry here and there. Not much red meat at all. We wanted to know what we can expect for Veggies and Fruit in April? I understand that Island Farms has some great selection of greens (arugula - yumm our favorite), however we wanted to know what else can we expect in season. I know that this question must have been asked a hundred times, but it's our first time visiting Eleuthera and we're a bit lost on what to expect.
You can pick up fresh veggies at Island Farms, onions, tomatoes, greens, broccoli.. you must try their artesenal breads! The larger grocery stores like Burrows always have some kind of fruit. Bananas, sometimes imported fruit i.e. apples. There is a fine fruit shop in South Palmetto with a good selection of produce.
YOu can sometimes find small local pineapples at the stores. And try Blanche's stand on the seaside in James Cistern after 2 pm.
The supply boat comes in on Tuesday so Tuesday afternoon usually is the time for the best selection.Have fun!
The Rock Sound Market has an incredible selection of produce, usually well stocked at the end of the week. The proprietor sends out an email mid-week to let interested parties know what produce has come in.
Thanks for all the information everyone. I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but are pineapples in season in April, or is it too early?
Also are we going to have a hard time getting food on Easter Sunday when we come in? I understand that probably most things will be closed, but we just wanted to know if something would be open.
Don't forget, Easter Monday is a holiday as well and stores will be closed.
Perhaps you can get in touch with the caretaker a few days before your arrival and give him/her a list of a few basics you'll need upon arrival. Then you can stock up when you know the stores will be open. Just a thought.
As a fellow Montrealer just returned from Eleuthera and already yearning to go back I envy you. Where will you be staying? All the answers you got are great if you are staying in the Governor's Harbour/Palmetto Point area. In the North, try AAA Farms, Asa Albury is the owner/manager. He is on the airport road, just across from the Scotiabank (actually across from the Oasis Water Stand)- green duplex apartment. His front door is on the side of that building, just knock. Call first (335-1732 home or 551-0928 cell)so he will be there. I got huge bags of arugula, mustard greens, parsley, coriander that lasted a long time. He cut it for me right there. Also - Fine Threads (Frederic), a taxi driver at North Eleuthera airport has "greens". Can't miss him - his white van is marked "Fine Threads". Wesley Johnson's store in Lower Bogue is open 7 a.m. till 10 p.m. and was open Christmas and so probably Easter. He has lettuce (usually romaine), peppers, green onion, celery, sometimes red onion, grapes, cantelope and/or honeydew melon, apples, oranges, limes etc. most of the time. He gets supplies on Thursday morning and Friday night boats. Let me know where you are staying and I can tell you more re shopping.
Eleuthera Supply in Governors has local pineapples this week.

Through this experience he learned the importance of trust in team members. Beyond this experience, Michael has also created 6 different companies: some successful, some not, but each served as learning lessons to fuel the next great idea. Michael has raised over $150 million in capital throughout his career, as well and can speak to the world of VC funding and the value of networking within.

Many times startups, small business, and nonprofits may have limited capital resource but unlimited ideas. Even when you may only need the partnership to get started or it is solving a temporary need, identifying like-minded companies who can complement one another is a skill on its own. This session will focus on how to identify potential ways you can leverage partnerships, how to determine the right partners, and how to set up partnership agreements. In addition, success stories related to strategic partnerships will be shared, with potential for partnership matchmaking within the session itself.

The prospect of a full-blown trade war between China and the US has been tormenting investors and policymakers around the world since the Trump administration first announced tariffs on steel imports in April last year.
However, there is one new reason for hope: the Chinese state-run Xinhua News reported yesterday that the country will re-establish official trade negotiations after talks broke down in June. "It is a good thing if they're sending a delegation here. We haven't had that in quite some time" Larry Kudlow, Director of the Economic Council, told CNBC. The American markets also greeted the move warmly, opening strongly on Thursday (See Marketssection).
Some observers, however, question the potential of the talks. The visit will be made by the Vice Minister of Commerce – a low level official – and it will take place at the end of the month, right when a new set of American tariffs on Chinese goods will come into force: China is expected to reciprocate.
Yet the meeting is an unusual sign of de-escalation that perhaps shows that the two countries would rather avoid a trade war. And so they should. A full-blown trade war is almost certain to damage global growth. The Economist Intelligence Unit forecasts that it could slow from 3% in 2017 to 2.4% in 2020, and American growth would lower from 2.8% in 2018 to 1.3% in 2020 as a consequence of the trade dispute.
Even if the two countries seem willing to drag out the fight for now, the dispute is unlikely to last over the long term. The negative economic impact will be felt in America by the end of the 2018, and to add to the pressure, Democrats are in a strong position to win the majority of the House of Representatives in the Midterm elections next November. This could force the Trump administration to rethink its trade strategy and abstain from further escalations.
Official figures released yesterday show a 31% drop in the number of apprenticeships over the past year in the UK. The drop thwarts the government's efforts to create 3 million apprenticeships by 2020. Business leaders are calling for a reconsideration of the current apprenticeship levy, demanding instead for more flexible policies that allows companies to spend the money on a broader range of training.
The diplomatic standoff between Turkey and the US continues to grow as Steve Mnuchin, the Treasury Secretary, announced that Washington had prepared further measures against Ankara. Although the Lira gained some momentum yesterday, product of a $15bn Qatari investment pledge, it is likely to tumble again over the next days as the impasse continues. America is pushing for the release of Andrew Brunson, an evangelical pastor arrested in 2016 over espionage charges. (£)
Egypt is said to be finishing off the details of a truce deal between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, an Egyptian security source told Reuters yesterday.Any agreement will need the consent of Fatah, the party which commands the Palestinian National Authority, which maintains a vast presence in the Hamas-controlled Gaza strip.
Walmart released Q2 results yesterday, unveiling its strongest US sales growth in more than a decade, a result of increasing traffic to its websites and stores. The result, which excited investors and sent Walmart shares up by almost 10%, established the company as one of this year's winners from a US economy characterised by low unemployment and robust consumer spending.
Amazon is said to be reaching out to some European insurance firms to see if they would contribute with their products to a UK insurance price comparison website, as reported by Thomson Reuters. This would be a major incursion of the tech giant into financial services. It is unclear what kind of insurance products would be offered, and there is no official statement from Amazon regarding the idea yet.
Applied Materials, the world's largest chip manufacturing equipment supplier, reported a 19.3% rise in quarterly revenue yesterday as chipmakers boosted spending to meet an increasing rising demand for memory from smartphone makers. Nonetheless, the results were below expectations as revenue failed to grow. (£)
The announcement of the restoration of trade talks between China and the US has lifted markets across the globe. The FTSE 100 increased by 0.78% or to 7,556.38. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial average rose 1.34% to 25,558.73, the S&P 500 gained 0.77% or to 2,839.99 and the Nasdaq went up by 0.78% to 7,835.12.
According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics yesterday, retail sales grew 0.7% in July compared to 0.5% in June, matching expectations for a 0.2% increase. These good results can also account for the strong market performance in the UK yesterday.
Companies most affected by the volatility of the trade war benefited the most from the Chinese announcement: shares in Boeing, which is China's biggest airplane manufacturer, rose by almost two percentage points from $337.71 to $344; while stocks in ZTE, a Chinese phone manufacturer, rose by more than 8%.
On the currency markets, sterling increased against the dollar to 1.2716, still less than the peak from earlier in the week; and 0.17% lower versus the euro at 1.1173.

In the Financial Times, David Pilling examines the population explosion Sub-Saharan Africa is set to experience in the coming years and explores the extent to which population growth alone can lead to economic growth. Unlike population figures in Asia and the West, which have begun to stall, Africa is posed to account for most of the world's population growth in the coming years. If the new people manage to find jobs, Africa should also account for most of global growth. But this is a misleading assumption: if population growth naturally led to rising living standards then Africa would already be a mid-income region, but it is in fact far from that. The key for economic growth is a low dependency ratio, Pilling believes, which measures the share of people that are not in the labour force; and a low fertility rate, which allow people to focus on their productiveness. Instead of forcibly bringing population figures down, however, African policymakers should focus on improving health and education systems, empowering woman and raising awareness.
Writing for The Telegraph, Daisy Buchanan defends University education. She stresses societal needs for doctors, engineers and teachers – all of which must go through university. Contrary to what some public figures say, Buchanan argues, University indeed inculcates key factors for a successful life. Instead of deterring students from pursuing higher education, Buchanan thinks that we should promote them. "When we discourage people from going to University, we're telling them that we don't care about their future" she argues.
If you consider any naturally occurring measurement – the height of a mountain, the population of a country or the price of a stock – the number is 30% likely to begin with a 1, and less than 5% likely to begin with 9. This phenomenon is known as Benford's Law, and it is used in applications such as forensic accounting and audit for fraud detection.

'We're A Nation Of Citizens, Not A Nation Of Immigrants', Bannon Gave Libs Epic Beatdown
Democrats and some misguided Republicans like Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina have been talking up how we supposedly need illegal immigrants to have a pathway to legal status and even citizenship.
President Donald Trump's former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, however, sees through these half-baked ideas. He was recently documented in the new book Bannon: Always the Rebel by Keith Koffler telling it straight why it's a lie that Americans are better off with more immigrants.
Detailed Koffler, "Bannon says, 'We're a nation of citizens; we're not a nation of immigrants,' correcting what he believes is a common misperception. 'So now we have to start to act like citizens come first. All policy should be oriented to making the working people in this country and the middle class in this country have a better shot at success. And we've gotten away from that. What we've done is brought in huge global competition for their jobs, for their schools.'
Bannon went on to point out how the mass influx of legal and illegal immigrants makes for huge profits for corporations and their CEO's at American citizens' expense.
Koffler explained, "The low-skill, low-wage, non-English speaking people entering the United States from Mexico are taking jobs from Americans, Bannon strongly believes. 'The people most affected by illegal alien labor, is the black working class and the Hispanic working class,' he said.
'Go into the inner city. That's why they're not paying a guy 12 bucks or 13 bucks to flip burgers at McDonald's. Because they don't have to! They get all the labor they want.'
Kaoffler added, "Bannon seeks not just to end illegal immigration, but he wants to vastly curb legal immigration and reduce the number of refugees the United States takes. 'Until we have the black working class and the Hispanic working class getting high-value-added jobs, we've failed as a society. To me: citizens first.
And we don't need a million immigrants in this country. Particularly, we don't need a million immigrants that don't come with a real set of skills.'"
Do you agree with Steve Bannon?

Top things to do in Astana, the city of Expo 2017
President's palace. Apartment of a president of Kazakhstan. Astana.
29 june 2017 ,
by Simona Denise Deiana
Nella capitale del Kazakistan tra giugno e settembre si svolge Expo 2017. Cosa vedere ad Astana, una capitale moderna dal carattere sia orientale sia occidentale.
After Expo Milano 2015, the capital of Kazakhstan is hosting Expo Astana 2017. But few people know the history and places of interest of this city. Let's discover what Astana has to offer as a modern capital, from its identity based on Eastern and Western cultures to its futuristic architecture.
Brief history of Astana
Astana is a young city built for the will of Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev who wanted to move the country's capital from Almaty in 1997. The decision was taken due to the geopolitical position of the city – it is located in the middle of Kazakhstan and the Eurasian continent – as well as due to its infrastructures that facilitate transports and communications. The new capital was also chosen for the abundance of space and lands to allow its development. In 1998 the city was named Astana, which means "capital" in Kazakh.
Baiterek Tower, the symbol of Astana, the capital city of Kazakhstan
The architectural concept underlying the city's development is a Eurasian vision, resulting in a place that unites the Eastern and Western world in a harmonic way. This ambitious goal is achieved thanks to the excellence of the contributions. The author behind the Astana Master Plan is renowned Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa, who also designed the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Kuala Lumpur International airport, and the National Museum of Ethnology in Osaka.
Among other important contributions is British architect Norman Foster, who designed and built the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation and the Khan Shatyr Entertainment Centre.
Today, Astana is an ever-changing city that raises the interest and curiosity of a growing number of tourists.

What to visit in Astana
Bayterek Tower
The Bayterek Tower, the tree of life in the middle the city and Eurasia, is the emblem of the capital. Everything in this monument is symbolic: the golden sun on top (at 97 metres of height) and the interior architecture representing the three fundamental universal principles. Bayterek means "poplar" in Kazakh and its structure made of metal, glass and cement is unique and magnificent: it is 105 metres tall, weighs 1,000 tonnes, and is sustained by 500 poles. The glass sphere on top changes colour with sunlight and is suspended at a record height.
Palace of Peace and Reconciliation
The Palace of Peace and Reconciliation is a pyramid built by Norman Foster in 2006. The name was chosen because the palace hosts religious leaders from all over the world for the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, held every three year. The pyramid is 62 metre tall and sits on a 15 metre high earth covered block, for a total surface of 25,000 square metres. Visiting it is a unique experience, with its concert hall, its apex accessible with a lift and an indoor winter garden.
The Hazret Sultan and Nur-Astana mosques
When in Astana, there are two mosques you can't miss: the Hazret Sultan mosque and the Nur-Astana mosque. The former is more majestic, the latter is smaller and has a golden cupola that becomes surprisingly suggestive when hit by the sun. To visit them you need to take your shoes off and women also need to wear a blue hooded gown.
Astana is also home to a synagogue that, like all other monuments in the city, reflects the modern, multicultural and multi-faith side of Kazakhstan. Here, the representatives of all ethnic groups and religions live and work together and the city has become home to a series of public forums dedicated to interethnic and inter-faith cooperation.

Ливанские миссионеры (, , CML) — маронитская мужская монашеская конгрегация епархиального права. Конгрегация ливанских миссионеров является одной из четырёх маронитских мужских монашеских конгрегаций (наряду с мариамитами, баладитами и антонианами-маронитами).

История
13 марта 1866 года маронитский священник епархии Баальбека Юханна Хабиб основал в бывшем армянском монастыре Крейм в Горном Ливане конгрегацию ливанских миссионеров. В 1873 году маронитский антиохийский патриарх Булос Бутрос Массад утвердил устав монашеской конгрегации. 22 мая 1884 года первые четыре члена этой конгрегации приняли монашеские обеты. С самого начала своего существования ливанские миссионеры занимались деятельностью среди маронитов в Ливане и в маронитской диаспоре по всему миру.

В настоящее время
На 31 декабря 1974 года в конгрегации действовало 8 монастырей с 53 монахами. В настоящее время ливанские миссионеры занимаются миссионерской и благотворительной деятельностью среди верующих Маронитской католической церковью, руководят несколькими высшими учебными заведениями в Ливане и в других странах мира. В ведомстве конгрегации находится радиостанция «La Voix de la Charité». В 2009 года они основали в Ливане одноимённый телеканал. С 1940 года конгрегация издаёт периодическое издание «Al Manarat — Revue de sciences religieuses» на французском языке.

Конгрегация содержит в Джунии памятник Пресвятой Девы Марии Ливанской, принимая и обслуживая паломников.

Q: Run two jQuery functions at the same time Parallel god day, I want to ask a question about the jQuery where it is possible to execute more than one event at the same time without waiting for the other process
as example :
<input type="button" id="btnSave" />
<script>

    $('#btnSave').click(function () {
        //... Do something
    });
    $('#btnSave').click(function () {
        //... Do something else
    });

</script>

A: Maybe you need this:
$('#btnSave').click(function () {
        function1();
        function2();
    });

This week we were in for a treat when we took part in an African-inspired dance workshop. Using the djembe drum as inspiration, we learnt part of a dance and even put our own spin on it.
We learnt how to walk to a beat and strive some fantastic balances and moves. We had a fantastic morning!
