Rita Gallagher - The Heathery Hills
[LTCD9132]
Donegal native Rita, though possessor of three All Ireland singing titles between 1979 and 1982, has only rarely appeared on record, which I find puzzling, especially considering the extent of her repertoire. Both of her previous releases – the cassette Easter Snow (1997) and CD The May Morning Dew (2010) – provided a persuasive demonstration of Rita's special way with a song, so I was doubly delighted to receive this new collection. The Heathery Hills is beautifully packaged, as befits the quality to be found within, and presents a dozen songs from Rita's ever-expanding repertoire, with no instrumental accompaniment. Not that any is needed.
Rita's voice is not one that deliberately calls attention to itself per se, ostentatiously either through over-personification or through overt display of technique. However, the listener will quickly fall under the spell of the distinctive internal rhythm of her singing style, which is allied to her remarkably natural use of controlled ornamentation in the unconstrained and highly individual delivery of a melodic line. Interestingly, it's for this reason (or maybe in spite of it) that the tune element is often first to make an impression, its contours drawing the listener in to the story being told. Rita has herself said that "in about 90% of all cases, the tune of a song is what attracts me to it initially", which may sound something of a paradox when, after all, the words of a song are judged its raison-d'être. Yet it's almost certainly the ornate beauty of the tune, and Rita's wonderful way with it, that first draws you in. Take The Lowlands Of Holland for instance, a song we all know, but one which here doesn't provoke the "not again!" reaction, simply because Rita makes it so much her own with her thrilling and understanding delivery and her telling incorporation of variant components (all such matters being explained in the excellent booklet notes). It's a good example of the care Rita takes with the songs, to present them at their best and most persuasive in her role as song carrier.
The Heathery Hills focuses to a lesser extent than its predecessors on songs learnt from the Tunney Family, although Brigid Tunney (Paddy's mother) is the source for the title song, and her granddaughter Brigid Tunney is the source for both The Buachaill Roe and Early, Early (a version of The Croppy Boy). Coincidentally, two of the standout renditions on this disc are of songs which Rita learned from Sean Cannon: The Bay Of Biscay and The Yellow Bittern. The gorgeous Lament To The Moon comes from Packie Byrne, while the plaintive The Hero From Bonny Carlow (from Paddy Berry) is unaccountably less well-known. But whatever the sources, this is another grand collection of songs. The steadfast, serene consistency of Rita's singing style, which in a lesser singer might be counted a drawback, is here a distinct advantage, a shining example of Rita's artistry in bringing the songs to life in her own inimitable way. This is a tremendously satisfying, and most treasurable, CD.

There are all kinds of travellers these days. The kind that chases Michelin-starred chefs and makes early reservations at some of the World's Best Restaurants. The kind that travels with an (almost) empty suitcase in anticipation of all the shopping they'll be doing. The kind that has an unending thirst for culture, music and people. Then there's the kind that plans an itinerary around what they see on Instagram — especially if it means scoring a very likeable photo for themselves too. Believe it or not, Moscow is one of those places.
Built in 1561 and commissioned by Ivan the Terrible, the colourful structure with its multi-coloured domes has become the poster child for Moscow. There's a myth that Ivan blinded the architect behind the cathedral to ensure nothing as beautiful could ever be made again.
St Basil's Cathedral is so magnificent that we decided to list it separately but within its surrounding vicinity that is the Red Square, is an endless supply of photography inspiration. Once you're done there, head 'next door' to another Instagram-worthy spot, the Kremlin.
Let's just say if Hong Kong's Yik Cheong Building that appeared in Transformers, with its overwhelmingly dense exterior, is in your Instagram list, so should this. Because of its 50-meter height and half a kilometre in length, some of the locals have called it 'The Titanic' and 'House-Boat'. Others know it as the House of Nuclear Scientists because it was designed with the possibility of a nuclear war happening in mind. Originally built with a white concrete facade back in the 1980s, the apartment complex has since turned to a shade of grey. Stop at the Tulskaya metro station and it'll lead you right to it.
Speaking of metro stations, Moscow came in second on a list of the world's busiest subways in 2017. However, what makes it different is that most of these stations are beautifully decorated — almost like an art museum. You'll find classic marble columns, crystal chandeliers, stained glass windows, mosaics and even paintings. Komsomolskaya station, in particular, is known as "Moscow's Sistine Chapel".
When it comes to architecture, Moscow has a beautiful balance of old meets new. One of the latter is Zaha Hadid's gorgeous, geometrical Dominion Tower, which was only unveiled in 2015.
For those who love using the hashtag #minimalism, head over to the left shore of the Moskva River to spot this wave of giant white granite that spews modernism with a touch of surrealism.
Moscow is certainly a city with plenty of architectural beauty that comes in a variety of 'genres'. From traditional to minimalism to something as eccentric as the Arseny Morozov Mansion.

Inquiry into the Register of Environmental Organisations
By: Esther Abram, Giving Green Manager, Australian Environmental Grantmakers Network
Did you know that philanthropists played an important role in steering the Charities Act 2013 through the Federal Parliament? The passage of the Charities Act was incredibly significant for so many reasons, not least of all the fact that it moved us on from the definition of charity as enacted by the Statute of Elizabeth in 1601.
The new statutory definition of charity was also a huge advance in certainty around the issue of advocacy (which includes research, developing policy solutions, community development and education, communications and marketing and working to influence government and business decisions) for funders and charitable organisations alike. But fast forward two years and there is fear that we are about to take a step backwards. The Federal Parliament's House of Representatives Environment Committee has announced a new Inquiry looking into the Register of Environmental Organisations.
There are some worrying signs the Inquiry is aimed at restricting the types of environmental groups that can get deductible gift recipient status (DGR) and the activities organisations on the register can undertake. It appears to be implicit in the terms of reference for the Inquiry that 'on-ground environmental works' should be the main activity that DGR environmental organisations can conduct.
However, the AEGN believes that there are many different approaches which philanthropy and the charities it supports needs to adopt in order to protect and enhance our natural environment. 'On-ground environmental works' are certainly important. However the provision of information or education, carrying out research, and undertaking advocacy are equally important and depending on the environmental problem seeking to be addressed, they may be a more suitable practical approach to adopt than focusing on 'on-ground environmental works'.
With public comments suggesting a large number of groups could lose their DGR status, based on their activities beyond 'on-ground work', environmental organisations are understandably nervous. But the impacts of this go far wider than the organisations on the Register.
Funders too will be impacted by any changes and the prospect that grantmakers could have their choices further limited are not welcome. The Register includes fewer than 600 environmental organisations and there are thousands of groups without DGR, many of them doing useful environmental work, that can't be funded directly by PAFs or PuAFs. Nor is the idea of more red tape attractive to grantmakers. Most importantly, organisations that conduct activities beyond 'on-ground environmental works', including those that use advocacy activities are often the most effective groups to fund to achieve environmental protection. Losing these organisations from the Register would significantly diminish the ability of philanthropic funds to effectively protect and enhance Australia's natural environment.
It is very important that grantmakers respond to the Inquiry and defend the ground gained by the Charities Act 2013. This legislation gives charities (and philanthropy) confidence to use (or fund) advocacy to further their objectives, by incorporating the 2010 High Court of Australia decision on Aid/Watch v Commissioner of Taxation. The High Court ended years of debate when it found that activities that aim to change government laws and policies are charitable. This is because our democratic system relies upon freedom of communication between government and the community.
The Charities Act makes it clear that charities can engage in a wide range of advocacy activities to further their charitable purpose. It also clarifies the fraught area of advocacy during election campaigns. Charities are not allowed to have a purpose of "promoting or opposing a political party or a candidate for political office", but they are allowed to distribute information or advance debate about the policies of candidates or political parties.
As members of the philanthropic community you are well aware that Australia has a complicated tax framework for deductibility. A submission to the Inquiry could help to prevent it being further complicated by changes to the environmental register. The Australian Environmental Grantmakers Network and Philanthropy Australia will both be making submissions to the Inquiry. If you would like to make one, please contact esther@aegn.org.au at the AEGN or Krystian Seibert at kseibert@philanthropy.org.au.

Best gyms in Fresno to crush your New Year's resolutions
by: Gabe Salazar
Posted: Jan 3, 2022 / 11:26 AM PST / Updated: Jan 3, 2022 / 11:26 AM PST
A customer wipes sweat from their face as they work out on a treadmill inside a Planet Fitness Inc. gym as the location reopens after being closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, on March 16, 2021 in Inglewood, California. – Los Angeles County is allowing fitness centers and gyms to reopen for indoor workouts at ten percent capacity with customers wearing face masks under Covid-19 public health guidelines.

FRESNO, Calif. (YourCentralValley.com)- For some, "quarantine 15" may have extended from 2020 into 2021, leaving many people extra motivated to shed those extra pounds.
From fitness classes to training facilities with stationary equipment, Fresno offers a multitude of gyms to get a handle on your New Year's resolutions and get shredded for 2022.
Here are the top five best gyms in Fresno, according to Yelp.
5. Fort Washington Fitness
Fort Washington Fitness takes the normal training facility-type gym and makes it more upscale. According to its website, the gym offers 20,000 square feet of free weights, cable and machines, and cardio equipment. When you enter through their doors, it feels like you're walking through a hotel lobby with marble flooring and even an elegant water feature greeting guests in the lobby.
The facility has private male and female locker rooms which feature showers, saunas, and towel service. Additionally, the gym offers wellness services such as cryotherapy and an infrared sauna.
For membership fees, click here.
4. Title 29 Fitness
The gyms now has two locations, the original one in Fig Garden and a new location in Clovis. According to its website, the gym focuses more on a coaching program with trainers. Even from the moment you consider becoming a member, the gym will walk you step-by-step to determine the best course of action to take on your fitness journey.
The Fig Garden location is at 4025 W Figarden Dr. Ste 107 Fresno, CA 93722. The Clovis location is at 2141 Shaw Ave Unit 108 Clovis CA 93611.
3. The Iron Office
The Iron Office is a local veteran-owned private gym that focuses on strength and conditioning. According to its website, the facility has industry-standard equipment for strength and conditioning, as well as those whose target is weight loss and overall fitness. The training programs incorporate aspects from powerlifting, bodybuilding, Olympic weightlifting, cross-training, and strongman.
Members at The Iron Office vary in skill level, from the seasoned athlete to a first-day beginner.
The Iron Office is located at 2481 N Sunnyside Ave, Fresno, CA 93727.
2. Planet Fitness
Planet Fitness needs no introduction as there are more than 2,000 locations around the country. One of the reasons why the gym is so popular is because of the ultra-affordable membership fee, which is only $10 a month for a basic membership, and $22.00 a month for a "Black Card" membership which includes extra perks such as unlimited use of a hydromassage, tanning bed, access to every Planet Fitness location, and the ability to bring a guest with you.
If you live in the Central Valley, you've probably heard of GB3. This Fresno-originated gym offers aerobic classes, pools, whirlpools, saunas, steam rooms, and the newly added functional training rooms.
Monthly membership fees are easy to remember because of the "dollar a day" fee for the gym's base plan. However, GB3 offers discounted plans which can be found here.


Adilabad, Andhra Pradesh, Feb 26 (UNI) A businessman was robbed by three fake naxals.
Police said here today three men posing themselves as Janasakthi naxals, entered the house of S Krishnamurthy in Kanapur village on February 24 and threatened him with a toy pistol and an axe seeking Rs 50,000 for party funds.
When he expressed his inability to meet their demand, the gang immediately searched his house and took away six tolas of gold from his house.

Find your variety
Why Rijk Zwaan
Rijk Zwaan opens brand-new R&D facility in Fijnaart
On the afternoon of Friday 14 September, Rijk Zwaan officially opened its brand-new R&D facility on Eerste Kruisweg in Fijnaart. This extension gives the international vegetable breeding company the necessary space to further expand its research activities.
65 percent more space
The construction project, which started back in November 2016, has connected two new buildings to the existing one, resulting in approximately 65 percent more space. The buildings are interconnected by a newly created atrium in the centre, which serves as the canteen and a presentation and reception area. In addition to the new-build project, Rijk Zwaan has renovated the existing offices and laboratories for molecular biological and cellular biological research.
Thanks to this expansion, Rijk Zwaan has gained more room to grow and modernise its research activities. Fijnaart is home to Rijk Zwaan's biotechnological research centre and is a breeding location for open-field crops. Around 350 employees are based at the facility in total.
Continuously launching new vegetable varieties that meet the needs of both growers and consumers requires extensive research, and Rijk Zwaan invests around 30 percent of its annual revenue in research and development, equating to approximately 10 million euro per month.
"A place for collaboration"
"It takes a lot of people and a lot of expertise to develop a new variety. That's why I'm so happy with the terrific new lab and all the extra workspaces, but also with the wonderful atrium. The atrium is now the beating heart of this facility – a place where our people can come together, forge contacts and share ideas and concerns. It's a place for collaboration", said Managing Director Kees Reinink during the opening ceremony.
A look inside for locals,
On Wednesday evening Rijk Zwaan had invited a number of local residents to see inside the new Fijnaart facility. "It's important to us that local residents are involved in new-build projects right from the start", explains Communication Specialist Steven van Paassen. "We celebrated the end of this project together by organising a presentation and guided tour of the building, and giving our neighbours a peek behind the scenes."
for family,
On Saturday Rijk Zwaan held its latest 'Family Festival' – a special employee event organised once every six years. This year, employees had the chance to show their family and friends what goes on at the facility and the results of all the building and renovation work. At Rijk Zwaan the top priority is to offer employees an enjoyable job.
and for demo visitors
Since Monday 17 September the Rijk Zwaan Demo Weeks have been under way in Fijnaart. From now until 26 October, the vegetable breeding company is showing its horticultural customers, vegetable processors and retail clients how much it has to offer in open-field crops. Visitors can also take a look at the new building while they are there.
Visual link to De Lier
The extension in Fijnaart was designed by the architectural firm called RoosRos Architecten, which also designed new buildings for Rijk Zwaan's head office and the SQC in De Lier. As a result, those buildings are all visually linked by sharing a similar look. The construction and completion of the project went entirely according to plan.

Commemorating this year's seniors
by Isis Kirkland, Editor-in-Chief
The Covid-19 pandemic has interrupted the class of 2020's senior year. With the spread of the virus, this year's seniors have been faced with the cancellation of their prom and senior trip, as well as postponed graduation and "grad ball."
"We all feel for our seniors," Principal John Arlotta said. "As I am retiring this year, I certainly wanted to be able to see everyone and say goodbye. I am sure they would have wanted something similar."
To commemorate the seniors, the high school staff has hung up posters with each graduating senior's name on them. The posters, which alternate colors between red and white, are located on the perimeter of the school's grounds, near the football field.
"I really appreciate the signs because seniors have unfortunately missed out on a lot, so I think that they do a good job of commemorating and honoring all the graduates," senior Jennifer DeStefano said.
Nothing like this has been done for seniors in the past. In order to get the posters made on such short notice, parents, school administrators, and the Board of Education had to work together.
"I want to credit our parents, especially Mrs. Scarpelli and Mrs. Somers for taking the lead on this. We all worked together to get this done and the Board of Ed generously funded it," Arlotta said.
Though the coronavirus has prevented seniors from experiencing some memorable high school milestones, Arlotta encourages students to focus on the good memories from the past four years rather than just the last few months.

Q: C language library equivalent to Java ScheduledExecutorService? I want a thread pool that will allow jobs to be scheduled after a specific delay or at an absolute time, for which I would use ScheduledExecutorService in Java.  Is anybody familiar with a C library providing equivalent functionality?  Actually, I want something with even more features than provided by Java: I want new threads to be created as necessary instead of being chosen from a fixed-size pool, which would be the equivalent of java.util.concurrent.Executors implementing something like a newCachedScheduledThreadPool() method.  Seems like I want a lot, is it Christmas yet?

A: You might try Glib for thread pools:
http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.28/glib-Thread-Pools.html
I know this doesn't quite give you the equivalent of ScheduledExecutorService, but it seems it should be relatively easy to write some wrapper code which could implement the scheduling part.

Vietnam, country occupying the eastern portion of mainland Southeast Asia. Tribal Viets inhabiting the Red River delta entered written history when China's southward expansion reached them in the 3rd century BCE. From that time onward, a dominant theme of Vietnam's history has been interaction with China, the source of most of Vietnam's high culture. As a tribute-paying state after throwing off Chinese rule in 938 CE, Vietnam sent lacquer ware, animal skins, ivory, and tropical products to the Chinese emperor and received scrolls on philosophy, administration, and literature in return. Sinic culture seeped deeply into society, but it shaped the aristocracy and mandarin families more than it did the peasantry, which preserved distinctive customs, beliefs, vocabulary, lifeway's, and gender relations. Modeling themselves on Chinese emperors, Vietnam's kings exacted tribute from ethnic minorities on the periphery of the Vietnamese state and called themselves emperors when not addressing the Chinese court. Although cultural and spatial gaps between the Vietnamese court and the farthest reaches of society were not as great as they were in China (Vietnam is about the size of a Chinese province, with a comparable population), the Vietnamese state's capacity to rule diminished with distance from the capital. The refractory character of bamboo-hedged peasant communes was captured in the cliche, "The emperor's writ stops at the village gate."
Vietnam has a long history of affiliating with a dominant civilization and adapting that civilization's ideas, institutions, and technology to Vietnamese purposes. This pattern of affiliating and adapting was already evident in Vietnam's historical relations with China, and it reappeared as descendants of mandarins responded to the challenge of the West by rejecting tradition and becoming communists to combat colonialism. The pattern was evident again as it animated 20th-century artistic movements that employed Western forms to promote social renovation; and since the 1980s it has been the driving force behind the Vietnam Communist Party's embrace of economic liberalization and integration into the world economy. Such strategic absorption and adaptation have helped propel Vietnam to become one of the world's most populous countries, with one of the most rapidly expanding market economies.
Hanoi is located in the north, whiles the country's largest city, Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), is in the south. Vietnam experienced a period of prolonged warfare in the mid-20th century, and a partitioning (1954-75), first militarily and later politically, into the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, better known as North Vietnam, and the Republic of Vietnam, usually called South Vietnam. Following reunification in April 1975, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam was established in July 1976.

Everything is awesome! Life-long Lego fan lands dream 'master builder' job after 18 years as supermarket shelf stacker
A supermarket worker has swapped stacking shelves for stacking colourful bricks after landing his dream job of playing with LEGO all day.
Life-long Lego addict James Windle beat 1,000 others to land the role as a master Lego builder at the Lego Discovery Centre in Manchester.
Pic By: James Speakman/Mercury Press
The 34 year old from Manchester, who still gets given Lego as a Christmas present every year, previously worked as a general assistant at Tesco for 18 years.
Now James is one of only 24 master builders in the world – spending his days creating and building Lego masterpieces.
James went through a gruelling interview process including having to present his designs to a panel of children – and was told he'd bagged the job by a 10ft model shark knocking on his door.
James, who started the job earlier this month, said: "To be told I'd got it felt like the start of my new journey.
"It's my dream job to work with Lego and get to do something creative. I'm living my best life.
"It's just awesome – I get to play with Lego all day, get paid for it and get to see how happy it makes the kids and parents.
"Lego has always been a passion for me since about the age of four.
"I got my first set for Christmas and used to get a set for every birthday and Christmas from my mum. She stills buys one for me every Christmas. I just never grew out of it.
"I've got a Lego tattoo on my arm – it's a mini figure that I can draw on. I can draw a happy or sad face or colour it in.
"I like Lego because I get to use my creativity and imagination and build whatever I want.
"My head is full of ideas and Lego is one of those products you can play with and there's never a wrong or right answer. If you build something you can break it up and make it again.
"I find it so relaxing and it's good for the brain.
"Now I'm working with Lego it's like I'm a kid in a candy shop, it's so much fun. I have all these ideas running through my head and I can order parts and create."
James's home is full of his creations including a decorated mirror, a huge Millennium falcon and glass cases filled with models.
He reckons he's got thousands of bricks and loves sharing his passion with his nephews and nieces.
Having a background in fashion, James decided it was time to make use of his creativity and decided to go for it when people suggested he apply for the role of master Lego builder
James said: "I worked in the supermarket for many years and it got to the point where people were saying 'why are you here? Why are you not using your creative talents?'
Pic By: James Speakman/Mercury Pressa
"I studied fashion at university and I try to incorporate that into my Lego creations.
"I saw the job advert when it was posted on social media. Everyone knows I like Lego and my friends and family were telling me to go for it so I thought I would.
"I sent them pictures of things I'd built with Lego or models that I'd built. I was shortlisted from 1,000 people then it was like an X Factor-style competition with various stages.
"I got to the stage where I was competing against 50 other people and we had 30 minutes to build something. I built a unicorn and master truck which I called the Unicornator.
"We were also asked to build something that was meaningful for us so I built a Manchester Pride stage with musicians.
"There were 12 children between the age of four and 12 in the audience to judge what we'd made.
"I got the call saying I'd made the top four and was invited in for a formal interview.
"I found out I'd got the job after a 10ft shark knocked on my door. I answered it and there was a shark mascot saying 'you're hired'.
"I was in complete shock. I was like 'are you kidding me?'
"I thought that says something about a company – the way they made all that effort. I felt like it was a really cool company and it's going to be a lot of fun.
"I held back the tears and when everyone left did a silent scream and got the prosecco out.
"My mum is very proud and that's what it's about – making your mum proud.
"I'd been thinking for a while about changing jobs but I never thought this would happen.
"As I went through the process I was getting more confident but a few weeks ago I'd never have imagined this."
James said a typical day is spent creating and maintaining models and he's now busy making things for Halloween – including a giant spider to crawl up a model of Manchester town hall and a zombie Alton Towers scene.
And he's thinking of getting a new hobby now he's spending eight hours a day playing with Lego.
James, who's spent about £40 a month on his passion, said: "I'd say I have thousands and thousands of bricks. I couldn't tell you how many, but I pass a lot of it on to my nieces and nephews.
"Luckily I get a discount now. I try to keep my displays tasteful. A lot of it is in frames or in cabinets and I've got a big Millennium falcon.
"Now I'm building Lego for about eight hours a day. Before I would probably spend two or three hours a night playing with it after work. I found it very therapeutic."
General Manager Manchester Cluster, Merlin Entertainments, Jenn McDonough, said: "We had thousands of applicants apply for the role – as you can imagine it's incredibly sought-after.
"We chose James because he's absolutely perfect for the job – he's incredibly creative, talented, outgoing and patient and the kids love him, of course.
"We're delighted to welcome James into the Merlin family, and I can't wait to see him inspire families for years to come."

Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
The river [by which the King sat to fast] carries the most auspicious water, which is mixed with the dust of the lotus feet of the Lord and tulasi leaves. Therefore that water sanctifies the three worlds inside and outside and even sanctifies Lord Siva and other demigods. Consequently everyone who is destined to die must take shelter of this river.
Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
Maharaja Pariksit, just after receiving the news of his death within seven days, at once retired from family life and shifted himself to the sacred bank of the Yamuna River. Generally it is said that the King took shelter on the bank of the Ganges, but according to Srila Jiva Gosvami, the King took shelter on the bank of the Yamuna. Srila Jiva Gosvami's statement appears to be more accurate because of the geographical situation. Maharaja Pariksit resided in his capital Hastinapura, situated near present Delhi, and the river Yamuna flows down past the city. Naturally the King would take shelter of the river Yamuna because she was flowing past his palace door. And as far as sanctity is concerned, the river Yamuna is more directly connected with Lord Krsna than the Ganges. The Lord sanctified the river Yamuna from the beginning of His transcendental pastimes in the world. While His father Vasudeva was crossing the Yamuna with the baby Lord Krsna for a safe place at Gokula on the other bank of the river from Mathura, the Lord fell down in the river, and by the dust of His lotus feet the river at once became sanctified. It is especially mentioned herein that Maharaja Pariksit took shelter of that particular river which is beautifully flowing, carrying the dust of the lotus feet of Lord Krsna, mixed with tulasi leaves. Lord Krsna's lotus feet are always besmeared with the tulasi leaves, and thus as soon as His lotus feet contact the water of the Ganges and the Yamuna, the rivers become at once sanctified. The Lord, however, contacted the river Yamuna more than the Ganges. According to the Varaha Purana, as quoted by Srila Jiva Gosvami, there is no difference between the water of the Ganges and the Yamuna, but when the water of the Ganges is sanctified one hundred times, it is called the Yamuna. Similarly, it is said in the scriptures that one thousand names of Visnu are equal to one name of Rama, and three names of Lord Rama are equal to one name of Krsna.

World NGO Day: Assessing 'role' of NGOs
2nd Mar, 2022
World NGO Day is annually observed on February 27 to celebrate, commemorate and collaborate with various NGOs around the world
What is NGO?
A Non-Governmental Organisation, better known as an NGO, is an association that is registered with the government and works for the upliftment of society.
Role of NGOs in India
India has over three million non-governmental organisations(NGO).
NGOs work across a range of arenas and play important roles of facilitator, catalyst or partner in bringing social transformation.
They have been dynamic in almost all sectors: Health, education, livelihood in rural and urban areas to name a few.
Another major achievement of NGOs includes influencing the Indian government to formulate various developmental laws and policies, which include
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA)
Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS).
NGOs also partnered with the government to successfully implement major campaigns like Swachh Bharat Abiyaan and Sarva Siksha Abiyaan.
Which associations can sign up as NGO?
Trust: A Trust composed of one or more people can sign up as an NGO, as per the Indian Trusts Act, 1982.
Company/Association: Any company, club or association consisting of professionals can act as an NGO by registering under the Companies Act, 1956.
Society: It is to be noted that any society of people that aims to better society can sign up as an NGO as per the Societies Registration Act, 1860 by approaching the Registrar of the Societies.
Charitable Trust: Also, any Charitable Trust can sign up as an Non-Governmental Organisation under the Charitable Endowments Act, 1920.
Any other group, society or association that aims to uplift the society.

B-17, Eat Your Apple Seeds!
I don't have time to write a long post today, but I'd like to provoke your thoughts a little. I'm munching on organic apples (pictured), halved, cores intact & served with a sprinkling of organic cinnamon. Simply lovely with a pot of tea!
If you Google apple seeds all sorts of scary articles appear (makes for interesting reading!) about apple seeds being bad for you. Now if you really want to confuse yourself, type in the benefits or nutrition of apple seeds. Interesting uh?… I reckon nature knows best & if we were a little more in tune with the natural world we might even know what would heal us, as the animals do!
Apple seeds, like ANY SEED ON THE PLANET, contain the 'lifeforce' or energy to sprout new life!! That's energy to fight disease & promote healthy cells. Food for thought indeed.

To transform Atlantic Canada's fashion destination into an even more stylish and desirable shopping and gathering place.
Halifax Shopping Centre's strategy of introducing high-profile brands to the region in order to establish itself as the fashion destination of Atlantic Canada has been wildly successful. But the Halifax Shopping Centre's success came with new challenges, including a demand for new space. Because the Centre is virtually landlocked, the only option was to re-evaluate existing underutilized and underperforming space.
The inspiration for an innovative and massive redevelopment began with the idea of converting a basement bowling alley into a new food court, and an office tower into new retail space.
On the west side of the Centre, a new main entrance will grandly introduce visitors to a stunning new food court, formerly the home of the aforementioned bowling alley. This sleek, contemporary food court will feature floor to ceiling glass that will illuminate the area with natural light, creating an elevated dining experience. A wider selection of food purveyors, a natural gas fireplace flanked by soft seating, a 1,000 sq ft open-air patio, and new washrooms will enhance food court amenities and encourage shoppers to visit and to linger.
Converting one of the office towers to over 45,000 sq ft of new retail space will showcase new-to-market aspirational brands, enhanced by the largest flat glass structural skylight in Eastern Canada. The 14,000 sq ft skylight will enclose 2-level retail stores creating an open-air streetscape shopping experience. Installation of a new ceiling and conversion to LED lighting in the common areas will advance both design and sustainability of the Centre.

Recently I came across an excellent article entitled "Death by Curation" on how museums have developed an over-reliance on programming special exhibits, as opposed to trusting their permanent collections to make revenue goals. Author Colleen Dilenschneider makes the point that blockbusters can increase annual revenue expectations to often unreasonable levels. The blockbuster-addicted museum then sinks more money into further special exhibits that may not be as successful as the first blockbuster, or even break even.
Over two decades, we've seen this pattern play out in performing arts organizations, as well as museums and other membership-based attractions. Of course, the blockbusters themselves are usually not the problem. The way that an arts organization handles a blockbuster can be. As the curation article corroborates, blockbusters have the potential to leave the organization in the lurch afterwards when 1) the previous spike in revenue leaves staff hungry for more and 2) patrons acquired from a blockbuster don't come back. TRG and other research bears this out; just one in five patrons returns to an arts organization after their first visit.
Blockbusters also have the potential to create sustaining revenue long after they finish their runs. A blockbuster by definition means an influx of new patrons, but if you can't get them to come back, then all other future efforts to increase revenue—pricing tactics, fundraising campaigns, etc.—will fall flat. Using simple best practices, staff can leverage blockbuster programming to encourage repeat attendance or subscribership/membership. Smart organizations use innovative (but common sense) techniques to leverage blockbusters. We recently featured Phoenix Theatre in a case study about leveraging blockbusters—in this case, Les Miserables.
• That season, 30% of single ticket buyers became multi-buyers (ticket buyers who bought more than one show in the same season), up from 16% in the previous season.
• Additionally, 16% of new patrons who came to Les Miserables came back the following season—and half of them came back as new subscribers.
Invite them back. This sounds simple, but surprisingly many organizations don't ask patrons back after they attend as a ticket buyer. Sending a simple, strategically timed email or postcard with the right offer can be all it takes. What's the right offer? It may be your next production or exhibit, or a discount to an annual event or permanent collection. You might offer value priced admission to an upcoming event on a day or at a time that's normally not well sold. It's always best to test two or three offers and see which has the best response. The point is: keep inviting them back.
And remember: once a patron has made a transaction with your organization, you may follow-up with them one time by email, provided that you also display an opt-out for future email communication. Make sure that you make that offer a good one. Being able to go back to new patrons via email has huge return-on-investment potential.
• Encourage patrons to buy tickets online, where you can capture their information in a user-friendly form. We counsel organizations, especially museums, to give a small discount to encourage online sales. Doing so also puts in place contact information with long-term value at negligible cost and time.
• Train your front-line staff to collect contact information whenever there is time. Make sure they are collecting information from every new-to-file patron who calls in to order.
• For those waiting in line to buy tickets on the day they are attending? If your ticketing system has mobile integration give them a QR code to "sign-in" and hasten the process, or go low-tech and hand them a card to fill out while they wait. Some patrons won't do this; others will. Don't assume. If you don't ask, you'll never know.
Leveraging blockbuster programming to bolster retention is one means of encouraging patron loyalty. Watch our webinar "The Loyalty Business Model" about using patron loyalty to drive revenue with Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre.

BPI gets investment grade rating
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:09 AM August 28, 2019
Ayala-led Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has bagged from global credit watchdog Standard & Poor's a credit grade that is at par with the Philippine government's all-time investment grade rating of BBB+, a notch away from "A" territory rating.
This is the first credit rating assigned by S&P to BPI, which recently announced a plan to return to the global bond market this year. This makes BPI the first private domestic bank in the Philippines to achieve investment grade ratings of BBB+ in both issuer credit rating and stand-alone credit profile.
The outlook on the long-term rating is stable, which means it is unlikely to change in the next 12 to 24 months.
This rating follows S&P's upgrade on the Philippine government's credit rating to BBB+, its highest level so far.
"The ratings reflect BPI's dominant market position as the third-largest bank in the Philippines, its good competitive position and its strong capitalization. We expect the bank's risk adjusted capital (RAC) ratio to be 10-11 percent over the next two years, underpinned by high-profit retention and moderation in loan growth," S&P said in its research.
"In addition, we anticipate that BPI's asset quality will continue to be sound, underscoring the bank's good underwriting practices and risk control. However, a minor deterioration in asset quality is likely as the bank grows its higher-yielding, but riskier, consumer and small and midsize enterprise (SME) portfolio," the credit rating firm said.

Rumor: Lenovo Prepping 10-inch Quad-Core Ice Cream Sandwich Tablet
By Daniel P. HOWLEY - LAPTOP Senior Writer 2011-11-14T13:00:00Z
The rumor mill never stops turning. Today, we have word from Engadget that Lenovo is prepping a new 10.1-inch tablet for release later this year. Why the fuss over a Lenovo tablet? Because this one will supposedly include Nvidia's speedy new 1.66-GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor and 2GB of RAM. And to top it all off, this mystery tablet is also expected to run on Google's Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Other tidbits include a rear-facing camera, a fingerprint scanner that could also be used as an optical joystick, and a USB port complete with the bane of our tech-centric lives, a port cover. Covering the tablet will be what Engadget referred to as a "Special Fusion-Skin Body" coating, although we're still not too clear on what that means.
The last two Lenovo tablets we reviewed, the IdeaPad K1 and the ThinkPad Tablet, were both solid offerings that fell just short of being truly great devices due to their poor audio quality and bulky size. Here's hoping this new 10-incher doesn't suffer from the same flaws. There's no word on when the tablet will be released here in the U.S., but we'll let you know when we find out.

Nicely Preserved: 1979 VW Rabbit
Jeff Lavery
This 1979 Volkswagen Rabbit is a clean survivor that remains in unrestored condition, with some great period details. The Rabbit is a gasoline model, so some enthusiasts will likely be turned off by the lack of a diesel, but that shouldn't deter you from giving this one a look. The seller notes it has a rust-free body with an interior in excellent condition. Find it here on craigslist for $7,200 in Colorado Springs.
The Rabbit looks great on later MK2-style steel wheels with plastic wheel arch trim and OEM mudflaps. The body does look quite clean, and the brown paint is perfect for the era. The rear window louvers are another nice touch and indicative of styling trends at the time. While U.S. safety bumpers are awful in every application, at least the black plastic trim remains in nice shape.
The interior really does look as good as the seller describes, with bucket seats in seemingly beautiful condition and OEM Rabbit floormats still protecting the carpets. The steering wheel looks like a period aftermarket piece, but I'm not 100 percent sure if that's the case. The door panels have some aftermarket speakers installed, but at least it's in keeping with the car's overall modified-in-period vibe.
The trunk is nearly spotless, and a set of NOS mudflaps is included. The shock towers show zero evidence of rust or really any cosmetic damage, and the privacy tray remains in place. Aftermarket speakers can be seen out back as well, so someone definitely spent some money personalizing this car back in the day.
The asking might seem a tad high, but when was the last time you came across a clean MK1 Rabbit like this one? Plus, look at the awesome rear louvers! That has to add a few miles per hour to the perceived top speed.

Wrong wheels, wrong steering wheel, gasoline engine for $7200!!! I'll pass!

I for one like everything about it.

Yikes, this gives me bad memories of the '79 Rabbit I had for a few months in high school twentysomething years ago. It was like this one except tan with an automatic. The electrics were messed up and it would stall out and I would have to reach under the dash and wiggle the fuel pump relay to get it going again. One day it started smoking and burning under there and that was that. One thing to note is that these cars had an early version of passive seatbelts for the front seats that were shoulder belt only, no lap belt! That big padded bolster under the dash was supposed to keep your lower half in place. VW ended up getting sued after some people were killed/paralyzed in accidents as a result of this foolish design. $7200 for a Westmoreland-built gasoline Rabbit? TBNT (Thanks But No Thanks).

A non-oil smashing engine is a plus for me.
That AMC Guy
As I recall the rectangular headlights flag this one as a US-made Rabbit. (Back in the day many people said these were of lower quality than the German-made variety, but I don't know if that's true.)
I have owned both in the day, and yes, there definitely was a difference in the build quality and the fit and trim of the Westmoreland Rabbits. Rattles and squeaks galore.The colored interior trim, panels, and dash would fade to many different shades within a few years. The driveline and suspension seemed to be okay, with the exception of the upper strut mounts wearing out on a yearly basis.

Nope, I don't think this is a Westmoreland. The interior, rear valance, and everything other than the rectangular headlights are German import model. If you look close, I don't think the grille and headlights match the American builds either. I seem to remember they had to import Rabbits until the Westmoreland plant was up and running in 1979. Steering wheel isn't stock.
Nope, definitely a Pennsylvania Rabbit. The German models had round headlights and rectangular side marker lights. As per Wikipedia – The factory manufactured a range of fuel-efficient small cars with gasoline and diesel engines, all variants (or rebadged models) of Volkswagen's Golf: the Rabbit (79–84); Rabbit GTI (83–84); Rabbit Pickup (1979–1982); the Golf Mk2 and GTI (85–89) and the Jetta (87–89). Built with the largest incentive package the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania had ever offered, the factory had an estimated annual capacity of 240,000 cars, and reached production of 200,000 in 1980.[1] Engines and drivetrains for Westmoreland production were sourced from Germany.[1] Employment, projected at 20,000, reached its highest level in mid-1981 at 6,000 [6] and by 1984 had dropped to 1,500.
Seams like a unicorn. Match it to any US model, the grille and square headlights are different and made specifically for the German round headlight front end. The US-only had different fenders and radiator support (wrap around turn signals). I'm not saying your wrong about the origin, but nothing else about the car says US to me (dash, rear valance, knee pad). I can't find another front end like that to confirm on google, so either way it seems a unicorn.
Sorry, I may want to clarify. I shouldn't say it's not a Westmoreland car, because there were no German built cars with square headlights. It's different than any I've seen though, having all the German features. Did yours have the German interior too?
Nov 12, 2019 at 8:26am
The interiors were similar, but different. I had a 1978 and 1980, both with the Rabbit C trim. The 1980 had the same grill, headlights and side marker lights as this car does. The 1978 had a black dash, black steering wheel, no knee bolster, the turn single and wiper switches were black and nothing was color matched. The seats were textured VW TEX similar to the beetle and other earlier VW's. The 1980 had a knee bolster and color matched everything! The actual instrument cluster, not the dash, is the only thing that was the same as the 78. The seats were also different, they were smooth vinyl with no texture. The inside of that car was an ocean of blue plastic and vinyl. I really liked the 1978 interior much better. As far as performance, the 1978 was a 4 speed manual and 1.6L FI and I believe the 1980 was a 5 speed with a 1.7L FI. Other than that, they drove and handled the same. I may have pictures of both cars somewhere. If I can find them, I'll upload them to this post.
My late brother had one of these (not sure of the year) in the prettiest green. If I ever saw a pristine one in that color, I'd have to buy it.
Funny how "lack of a diesel" is mentioned as a negative. Back in the day except for a few years when gas prices peaked, you couldn't give away the diesels (the fact that most people could WALK away faster than the car would go didn't help).
I should know…I had one in the early 80s. New off the lot, it was a great deal given the undesirable engine. With a 4 speed manual, the car would actually eventually get to and cruise comfortably at 80, but you had to drive it like you stole it to get it to that speed. Plus it smelled like a bus. Good times.
Unobtanium Matt
I built and drove (and crashed) a lot of Rabbits in the old days. There were always two kinds of owners – guys who liked to drive who wouldn't touch the diesel with a long stick, and the diesel guys who wanted to thumb themselves in front of a log book talking about their achievement in fuel. To be fair, a diesel rabbit is a fine vehicle to get someplace slowly, but gasoline tells the rest of us to "make it quicker, make it quicker!"
Nov 12, 2019 at 10:01am
I think a lot of the comparisons previous posters are using as to whether this was a German or US-built example are hinging on easy to swap items. My recollection is that there was never a knee-guard like this is a 1980 Rabbit. In fact, I think it was introduced with the update to the Cabriolet in the mid-'80s. The square headlight and grill assembly without marker lights and turn indicators is definitely correct for a US-bound car in 1980. Just like the Scirocco, they didn't extend the marker light around until they had time to economically rework the sheet metal — which is why they screwed those unseemly lights onto the sides of the front and rear fenders.

About the time of this car, my new wife and I were looking for a new small car to replace her Pontiac Ventura SJ. The Rabbit was one of the prospective cars on our list, but we were unimpressed on the test drive, and especially with the fit and finish of the interior. We went with a new 1980 Honda Civic hatchback, and were very happy. Had the Honda for close to 10 years, and the only problem was the quality of 1980's Japanese steel, and parts of the car started to rot away in Long Island winters.
I still have a many parts for those perfect car
Old Good VW
Clean car! I would remove the rear louvers, add Neuspeed lowering springs, GTI rims, round headlight conversion and euro bumpers font and back. Then she's perfect!!
My dad had a 1979 VW rabbit, a dark brown one, that he had stored in his garage from 1995 until 2012. Dad gave it to his grandson (my nephew), but I don't know what became of it. All I know is that years earlier dad had put another motor in it, but could not get it to run because it needed a certain part. So it just sat in the garage (he was getting up in years). Anyway the body and paint were still in nice shape on it. I told my nephew that the replacement engine was in the car and all he had to do was get it running. I believe he intended to do just that. But again, I'm not sure what became of it.
Bought a '78 2 door with sunroof brand new. Made in Germany, "Dakota Beige" was the color. Fun great driving car. Ran it for 80,000 miles with no real problems. Finally the fuel pump relay started failing, turned out to be a faulty fuse panel ground. VW shop manager fixed it in about 10 minutes out in the parking lot.

These PA built Rabbits were a far cry from their German built brethren… pass.
