10 Extreme Examples of Gender Inequality
rushfan . . . Comments
The human rights of women throughout the Middle East and North Africa are systematically denied by each of the countries in the region, despite the diversity of their political systems. Many governments routinely suppress civil society by restricting freedom of the press, expression, and assembly. These restrictions adversely affect both men and women; however, women are subject to a host of additional gender-specific human rights violations. For example, family, penal, and citizenship laws throughout the region relegate women to a subordinate status compared to their male counterparts. This legal discrimination undermines women's full personhood and equal participation in society and puts women at an increased risk for violence.
Family matters in countries as diverse as Iran, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia are governed by religion-based personal status codes. Many of these laws treat women essentially as legal minors under the eternal guardianship of their male family members. Family decision-making is thought to be the exclusive domain of men, who enjoy by default the legal status of "head of household." These notions are supported by family courts in the region that often reinforce the primacy of male decision-making power.
Here are ten of the most extreme examples of gender inequality you can find currently practiced, often state-sanctioned, in the world today.
Forbidden from driving
In Saudi Arabia, women aren't allowed to drive, or even ride bikes, and men aren't allowed to drive women they're not closely related to. The kingdom is currently dealing with the dilemma of how to get 367,000 girls to school on buses that can only be driven by men. The logical question at this point is this: If no men are allowed to come in contact with schoolgirls, and women aren't allowed to drive, who will be driving the school buses? The Ministry of Education is currently recruiting "Al-Ameen" or trustworthy men for this initiative. It may be hard for some to take this term seriously considering the way Saudi Arabia's religious police infamously broke the trust of 15 girls' parents in 2002 when a girls' school was on fire. The police forbade them from leaving the building, and in some cases beat them to keep them from leaving, because the girls' heads weren't properly veiled. The girls all died in the fire. One has to wonder how the Ministry of Education plans to handle school-bus breakdowns near similarly inclined men.
Clothing requirements
In 2001 a militant group called Lashkar-e-Jabar demanded that Muslim women in Kashmir wear burqas, head to toe garments that cover their clothes, or risk being attacked. Men threw acid in the faces of two women for not covering up in public. The group also demanded that Hindu and Sikh women dress so as to identify themselves: they said that Hindu women should wear a bindi (the traditional colored dot) on their foreheads, and Sikh women should cover their heads with saffron-colored cloth.
Right to divorce
In many countries, while husbands can divorce their spouses easily (often instantaneously through oral repudiation), wives' access to divorce is often extremely limited, and they frequently confront near insurmountable legal and financial obstacles. In Lebanon, battered women cannot file for divorce on the basis of abuse without the testimony of an eyewitness. A medical certificate from a doctor documenting physical abuse is simply not good enough. Although women in Egypt can now legally initiate a divorce without cause, they must agree not only to renounce all rights to the couple's finances, but must also repay their dowries. Essentially, they have to buy their freedom. In Israel, a man must grant his wife a get, a Jewish divorce writ that can only be given by a man to his wife – never the other way around.
Access to education
In many areas of Afghanistan, girls are often taken out of school when they hit puberty. Cultural factors related to the 'correctness' of sending girls to school, reluctance to send girls and boys to the same school after third grade, as well as the perceived and real security threats related to girls walking to school and attending classes all contribute to slowing down the enrollment of girls in schools. Likewise, the enormous lack of female teachers, who are fundamental in a country where girls cannot be taught by a man after a certain age, is having a negative impact on girls' education. While progress has been made since the fall of the Taliban, women are still struggling to see their rights fulfilled. Literacy rates among young Afghan women are disturbingly low: only 18 per cent of women between 15 and 24 can read. While the total number of children enrolled in primary schools is increasing tremendously, the percentage of female students is not.
Right to travel
Husbands in Egypt and Bahrain can file an official complaint at the airport to forbid their wives from leaving the country for any reason. In Syria, a husband can prevent his wife from leaving the country. In Iraq, Libya, Jordan, Morocco, Oman and Yemen, married women must have their husband's written permission to travel abroad, and they may be prevented from doing so for any reason. In Saudi Arabia, women must obtain written permission from their closest male relative to leave the country or travel on public transportation between different parts of the kingdom.
Victims of violence
Women's unequal legal rights increase their vulnerability to violence. In many countries in the region, no specific laws or provisions exist to penalize domestic violence, even though domestic violence is a widespread problem. Domestic violence is generally considered to be a private matter outside the state's jurisdiction. Battered women are told to go home if they attempt to file a complaint with the police. Few shelters exist to protect women who fear for their lives. Spousal rape has not been criminalized; husbands have an absolute right to their wives' bodies at all times. Penal codes in several countries in the region also contain provisions that authorize the police and judges to drop charges against a rapist if he agrees to marry his victim.
Custody rights
In Bahrain, where family law is not codified, judges have complete power to deny women custody of their children for the most arbitrary reasons. Bahraini women who have been courageous enough to expose and challenge these violations in 2003 were sued for slander by eleven family court judges.
Most countries in the region-with the exception of Iran, Tunisia, Israel, and to a limited extent Egypt-have permitted only fathers to pass citizenship on to their children. Women married to non-nationals are denied this fundamental right.
Sexual subjugation
Many countries criminalize adult, consensual sex outside of marriage. In Morocco, women are much more likely to be charged with having violated penal code prohibitions on sexual relations outside of marriage than men. Unmarried pregnant women are particularly at risk of prosecution. The Moroccan penal code also considers the rape of a virgin as an aggravating circumstance of assault. The message is clear: the degree of punishment of the perpetrator is determined by the sexual experience of the victim.
Female infanticide
China's one child policy has heightened the disdain for female infants; abortion, neglect, abandonment, and infanticide have been known to occur to female infants. The result of such family planning has been the disparate ratio of 114 males for every 100 females among babies from birth through children four years of age. Normally, 105 males are naturally born for every 100 females.
Similarly, the number of girls born and surviving in India is significantly less compared with the number of boys, due to the disproportionate numbers of female fetuses being aborted and baby girls deliberately neglected and left to die. The normal ratio of births should be 950 girls for every 1000 boys, however in some regions the number is as low as 300.

The Pursuit of Happiness is a 1988 Australian film directed by Martha Ansara.

In the mid 1980s Ansara was involved in the Australian anti-nuclear movement and wanted to make a film about Australia's relationship with the US. She originally intended to make a documentary but then it evolved into a dramatic feature about a married relationship that acted as a paradigm for the US-Australia relationship. Ansara:
It was a bit of a crude analysis, but it took so long to make (under the 10BA system) that by the time we finished the film - it was 1987 - for various reasons, the anti-nuclear movement was on the way out, so the film missed its time. And with films, timing is everything. If we had done it in a year, which we couldn't, it probably would have done very, very well. As it was, it did return 40 percent to the investors, but that was because it was very low-budget. The interesting thing about the film is that, if the audience was not very sophisticated, they liked it enormously. If they were sophisticated, they thought it was really daggy.

Read how regular MoonWalkers Genene and Linda keep the fundraising rolling in. They share how they set out to raise money for Walk the Walk and what really works for them. Their last charity bingo night raised a fabulous £379.00 to add to their growing total.
When initially thinking of fundraising ideas we thought we could do bingo, tombolas etc, so we set off walking around Kings Lynn wearing our Walk the Walk T-shirts and approached different companies and shops to see if they were able to donate prizes for bingo, tombola and raffle. The response was overwhelming and we had enough for two bingo nights including raffles and a tombola. Work colleagues, friends and family also donated unwanted presents too which added to our prize mountain!
We approached our local British Legion as we knew they held bingo nights for various charities. They were very friendly and helpful. We chose a night which was beneficial to both us and them and the rest is history. We knew we needed 20 prizes, 10 for a line and 10 for full house and tried to allocate our prizes as such, so the full house prizes were valued at a higher price value than the line prizes. So we knew what we were doing and the bingo caller would also know we had a template with each game noted and the prizes that were being played for. We then allocated about 25 items for raffle prizes, it's always good to have a few bottles of alcohol and some chocolate for this!
At the British Legion their clientele love a game of bingo and having lost their regular bingo night, we could do one every week if we had the time to. We are very lucky that the owner doesn't charge us for the use of the room either as we bring in extra customers that use their bar facilities.
When approaching companies we went to a local Indian restaurant to see if he was able to donate a prize and we were astounded by his reply... he doesn't donate prizes but he would help us if we helped him. His suggestion was to have a charity night at his restaurant on one of his less busy nights. We bring in custom for his business and for that he would donate 50% of the money taken on food for the evening. This has averaged out to be £200 each time we hold one. We have had 5 of these so far and he is willing to hold more for us. With the added bonus that our local Mayor has said he will attend our next one.
Sponsor a bauble or ribbon in remembrance of loved ones that battled and lost, were battling or recovered from cancer. Names were written on the ribbons, they then went on to become a fringe that decorated our bras for London and were turned into a rosette for The MoonWalk Scotland and The MoonWalk Iceland. The rosette continues to come with us on every event since.
Pink Day - tombola, food, drinks - all pink items used. Each guest brought along a baby photo and a recent photo for a guess the baby competition. Guests also paid to guess the number of pink sweets in a jar, the person closest to the actual number wins the jar.
We have also had three tombolas and bag packing events at our local supermarket, Linda's son shaved his head and beard twice to raise money and people paid to come along to a three course meal that we had planned and cooked.
20 years of Walking the Walk!

For decades, funding from government to provide human services has fallen well short of covering actual costs – resulting in a continual struggle by human services leaders to operate high-caliber programs, maintain skilled and fairly compensated workforces and exercise strong management functions.
The budgets of contracts between human services organizations and government frequently do not allow for compensation for staff consistent with responsibilities and necessary qualifications. This occurs with such positions as early childhood education teachers, social workers, youth development specialists and family counselors. Ironically, many human services staff, who have dedicated themselves to helping people contending with serious challenges find that they themselves are in need of the same sorts of services they are providing.
These insufficient salaries and benefits translate to a difficultly in recruiting and retaining high-performing staff, leading to disruptions in care and low morale among staff. Moreover, in a number of cases, government agencies, hospitals, and universities offer compensation for these sorts of positions that is considerably more generous than that which human services organizations can afford. Strong applicants continually express an interest in joining the human services field but indicate that given personal financial pressures, they often feel compelled to opt for employment in these other sectors.
When contracting with human services organizations, city and state government usually limit the amount of funds that may be expended on overhead, also known as "indirect expenses," for such functions as financial management, human resources, information technology and facilities management. The large majority of human services contracts allow for overhead rates of between 8% and 10% -- but actual overhead rates for human services organizations usually range between 12% and 20%. This results in sizable deficits, compelling human services organizations to function without adequate management capacity and to scramble to raise supplemental funds.
Human Services organizations aim to embrace bold ideas and forward thinking. Regrettably, though, because they are so strained by insufficient funding from government they too often lack the wherewithal to engage in innovation. If properly resourced, human services organizations would make use of philanthropic support to incubate, pursue data-driven strategies and ensure superior services. To achieve the highest impact, human services organizations must be enabled to stop operating in a climate of constant crisis. Like the people they support, they cannot be expected to thrive while their basic needs go unmet.
The relationship between the human services sector and government is symbiotic. Government calls upon human services organizations to deliver the indispensable services that it itself is not equipped to provide. And human services organizations are equally dependent on government – indeed, government funds are the primary source of income for most human services organizations, often comprising more than 80% of their budgets.
We are pleased that the city and state governments have taken steps to begin strengthening the human services sector. The city has established a Nonprofit Resiliency Workgroup designed to enable us to arrive collaboratively at solutions and we will take part fully in this effort. The state has created the Nonprofit Infrastructure Capital Improvement program and is refining systems like Grants Gateway, which simplifies the process by which human services organizations engage in contracts with the state.

Geelong director Emma Watson has poured every bit of energy into her upcoming adaptation of E.M. Forster's novel A Room With a View.
Watson has not only written the play, she has made the costumes, hats and even upholstered the furniture to depict the setting, in 1908.
"She just lives and breathes it," Skin of Our Teeth Productions artistic director Christine Davey said.
"Emma approached me with this idea and she's just really nailed it."
Independent Geelong theatre company Skin of Our Teeth Productions will premiere the bold and sumptuous new adaptation of A Room With A View in Geelong next month.
Watson's adaptation bolsters E.M. Forster's career defining literary ideas of feminism, the belief in freedom and truth, while adding grace and a gentle learnedness.
It follows the story of English rose Lucy Honeychurch touring Italy with her prim spinster cousin Charlotte Bartlett as chaperone. It's a play about change and loss, about pretension and honesty, about expectation and entitlement and ultimately about how spontaneous actions in a rigid world of set social codes can shatter and explode into life changing potential.
"It's really just a lovely story," Davey said.
"Sometimes we need an escape to another world or another time where life was a little bit easier. The costumes are beautiful and it's just a beautiful play. It's a comedy, but it's not your barrel of laughs, 'ha ha' type of comedy. There's no horrible character or evil villain."
Starring Lauren Atkin as Lucy Honeychurch, the play is an elegant comedy written in 1908, is widely recognised as one of the finest novels of the twentieth century. Foster was the master of building romantic suspense out of psychological repression.
"She's (Atkin) in every scene and is doing a phenomenal job for a young person," Davey said.
"She is 23, but has to portray someone who is 18 during that time, which isn't easy to do."
The production will feature music from the early 1900s.
"I always love to incorporate music into the stuff I do in theatre," Davey said.
"You can use it as a means to create comedy or pull heart strings."
A Room With A View will be performed at Shenton Theatre from 11 to 26 August. For tickets, head to www.trybooking.com/NSWF

Understanding the Eucharistic Congress as historic event nears
More than 5,000 people expected to attend Diocese of Knoxville's September jubilee anniversary kickoff
By Deacon Sean Smith
Eucharistic Congress is a gathering of Catholic clergy, religious, and laity to bear witness to the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Congresses bring people together from a wide area, and typically involve the celebration of Mass, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and inspirational and catechetical presentations delivered by highly respected theologians and evangelists.
Congresses occur on an international, national and diocesan level. The most recent international Eucharistic Congress was held in Dublin, Ireland, in 2012 and the next international congress is scheduled in Cebu, Philippine Islands, in 2016. Some dioceses in the United States have held Eucharistic Congresses at significant moments in their history and some, like the Archdiocese of Atlanta, hold a Eucharistic Congress every year.
Eucharistic Congresses began during the second half of the 19th century in France. Emilie Tamisier (1834-1910), a laywoman, organized the first international Eucharistic Congress at Lille, France, under the inspiration of St. Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868), who is called the "Apostle of the Eucharist." This undertaking, in which she was assisted by other laypeople, priests and bishops, received the blessing of Pope Leo XIII. The theme of this first Eucharistic Congress was: "The Eucharist Saves the World." It was believed that a renewal of faith in the presence of Christ in the Eucharist would provide the remedy for ignorance and religious indifference.
In more recent times, Eucharistic Congresses have propelled Catholic evangelization. Blessed John Paul II said in his Message for World Mission Day on April 19, 2004: "In order to evangelize the world, we need experts in celebration, adoration and contemplation of the Holy Eucharist. The Church needs deeply Eucharistic souls to enter into the inner sanctuary of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus and to draw from that infinite source of divine grace, the power to go out and to pierce the darkness of our world with a proclamation of the luminous truth of the Gospel. Only in and through the Eucharistic Mystery will we find the light that will transfigure us."
And Pope Francis recently stated in a message to the Archbishop of Cologne on the occasion of the National Eucharistic Congress in Cologne, Germany: "Encountering Christ, giving ourselves to Christ, proclaiming Christ—these are the pillars of our faith, which are concentrated in the focal point of the Eucharist." The celebration of the Eucharist, the source and summit of the whole Christian life is the center of every Eucharistic Congress. The celebration of the Word of God and the inspirational and catechetical talks that precede the Mass can contribute to examining the various aspects of the Eucharistic Mystery – aspects that are suggested by the theme of the Congress. Praying in common and adoring the Blessed Sacrament contributes to interiorizing these themes.
Eucharistic Congresses generally offer ample opportunities for the faithful to participate in the healing sacrament of reconciliation, as well as time to enjoy fellowship with other Catholics in an inspirational and joy-filled setting.
On the occasion of the Diocese of Knoxville's Silver Jubilee Anniversary, we will celebrate the region's very first Eucharistic Congress Sept. 13-14 at the Sevierville Convention Center in Sevier County, a major gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains. The Eucharistic Congress will mark the beginning of a yearlong celebration of our diocese's 25th anniversary and will represent an extraordinary opportunity to offer our gratitude to Christ for the growth of the Catholic faith in East Tennessee.
The theme of our Eucharistic Congress is "His Presence + Our Faith + Families Together In Christ." Joining us in celebrating this special occasion are some of the most influential personalities in the U.S. Catholic Church—a lineup called "almost miraculous." The keynote speaker will be Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York. He will be joined by Cardinal Justin Rigali, archbishop emeritus of Philadelphia, as well as popular speakers and authors Father Robert Barron and Dr. Scott Hahn.
Cardinal Rigali and Bishop Richard F. Stika will lead an "Evening Chat" about the Catholic Church and the popes Cardinal Rigali has served over a 30-year period as well as Cardinal Rigali's time serving in the Secretariat of State of the Vatican.
Additional breakout sessions for the youth will include the talents of ValLimar Jansen, Paul George, and the musical talents of Josh Blakesley and Sarah Kroger.
A Hispanic program for the youth will feature the inspirational music of Johann Alvarez and an adult program led by Father Rafael Capó, executive director of the Southeast Pastoral Institute (SEPI), and Sister Rosa Hernández, MGSpS of the Diocese of Stockton.
As Catholics, we do not often have the opportunity to come together to celebrate the greatest gift of our Church, the Holy Eucharist, shoulder-to-shoulder with thousands of Catholics rejoicing in His presence with "unique intensity." This Eucharistic Congress will be an opportunity to be thankful (the very meaning of the word Eucharist) for all our blessings and to deepen our relationship with God. We will have great speakers, good music and lots of joy as we celebrate and adore the source and summit of the whole Christian life.

A: You can likely manipulate the string to get that information; however if that doesn't work for you - you can use Facebook PHP WebDriver to run that JavaScript in PHP, a crude example would be:
$driver = RemoteWebDriver::create($host, DesiredCapabilities::chrome());
$file = $this->webdriver->executeScript("return params[file]", array());
$preview = $this->webdriver->executeScript("return params[preview]", array());

There is an example of using php-webdriver on Github.

Hoping to have a pleasurable moment engaged in an online casino that you can click to with your own personal computer? Not sure on how much money you need to spend in a virtual gambling hall?
Online casino fun can make a winner out of you if you know how to deal with your actual betting money that you place in one of the games of chance within your preferred site. And this doesn't necessarily mean that you have to shell out a lot of money with your credit card since there are some sites that allow you to play for free.
In the case of real money involved, though, you have to take note that most of the major credit card companies prohibit the use of their cards with these gambling sites. So, you have to search for other options that will allow the transfer of funds and winnings to your name if this is your desire.
Whether it's for free or for real, what you may have to take into account when opting to place your bet in a game is the term, "betting limits." As a whole, this would determine how much you will have to place in a certain game.
Certain points about this term that you have to keep in mind are here below: • It is the set limit made for a single wager by a gamer. • There are minimum and maximum requirements for this. And to know what the amounts are, you have to acquaint yourself with the house rules for games. • The person manning the game can readily extend the maximum limits that a customer can bet on. However, this is merely done on special occasions or cases as allowed by the virtual gaming hall.
Another term in an online casino that would be useful is "money in action," "money put in action," or, simply, "action." This is also another factor to consider in playing in a virtual environment if you want to know how much money you'll use.
The thing to bear in mind is that this amount is not actually the total dollar amount that you will bring to a particular game. For this, you can start with less, say a hundred dollars, and wager a small amount ($5 to $10) on each bet for the whole playing session.
The number of bets – like, for instance you had a total of 90 tries – would then be multiplied to your minimum wager: 90 multiplied by $5 or $10.
The total amount is what is used for action, which, in particular, is not usually equal to the hundred dollar amount you had started with.
Yes, it's true that knowing the amounts required for playing may seem confusing at first. But, that's only half the battle.
Once you get a hang of this, you'll see that playing in an online casino would merely be like a leisurely walk in the park – whether you choose to play for free or not.

"After the storms, a new morning comes."
The rain has stopped! Umbrella and tricycle outside ASKI!
Mary Riedel, KF9, Philippines
I'm sitting in Cabanatuan City, Philippines on the island of Luzon, which is one of the main islands in the Philippines (a nation composed of over 7000 islands). My name is Mary Riedel and it's Day 5 of my Kiva Fellowship at Alalay sa Kaunlaran, Inc. (ASKI) (a partner in development). ASKI has been an MFI Partner with Kiva for 10 months and I am the third fellow to be on the ground here with Adam Preston fellow #4. They have over 2000 Kiva Entrprenuers and have raised a little over 400K on Kiva.
It's weird to be so close to the recent devasation of Ketsana (Ondoy – local name) and Parma (Pepang – local name) and still feel somewhat removed from it all, apart from the rain of course and carrying "payong ko" (my umbrella). However, it has touched the lives of many employees here and all of the Kiva clients/borrowers at ASKI who live in Region II (Northern Luzon) where there was serious damage from Parma. This region was chosen to be "Kiva Country," (as the ASKIANS call it) because it is the most remote and under-served area in the ASKI portfolio.
It's all just settling in now. Personally, while the first storm was happening I was scurrying around the US packing up my apartment, saying goodbye to loved ones, and wondering what the future would hold. Fully taking in the storms would have put my system on overload so I just concentrated on flying into Hong Kong and getting all my ducks in a row (local phone, local plane ticket, last minute "work" shoe purchase) to head out to the Philippines. The storms were a part of life only from a logistical standpoint. It was of course a weird feeling knowingly flying into Parma even if was winding down (so we thought). It was also strange arriving on Day 1 and hearing that Parma made a u-turn, and was heading in for more carnage from my clients (borrowers) and fellow ASKIANS. I am mad at Parma and the rain! But I am told this is par for the course – Ketsana and Parma were typhoons of devastating proportions but during the year the Philipines gets about 25 typhoons on average (Philippine Climate) - part of life like death and taxes in the US.
Anyway, I digress…. Over the past four wet days I have had the opportunity to attend a morning devotion before work. (The Philippines is predominantly Catholic and many organizations including my host MFI are religiously affiliated). Wednesday's devotion given by Mr. Boggs really hit home for me, they showed a video of Ketsana and the devastation in Manilla…set to music (tears).
You tube video…not exact video, Mr. Boggs is in the field
There were dogs and kids and amazing images of survival and people coming together. This was followed by a moving talk about hope and service. We were all encouraged to think about what we could do for the community- "Take out your cell phones and text yourself– 'what is the legacy of service I'd like to leave behind?' He then when asked, "Could we give up some time today to pack relief goods?" This is a true reflection of the type of organization ASKI is, they go beyond microfinance with their ASKI foundation arm.
Today (Friday) formal devotion didn't really happen, there were too many people who couldn't make it into the office. So we sat in groups and used the time to pack more relief goods for those most recently affected (600 packages/300 Pesos each for today's delivery) thanks to Opportunity International. It has just stopped raining today, mid-morning.
So where does this actually leave the MFI clients? Well, ASKI is still developing a strategy right now but the rumor is that many of the loan terms will be extended (grace periods) and new loans will be given on top of these loans so people can rebuild. "What other choice do we have?" said one of the ASKI employees. If we don't provide new loans to rebuild the borrowers won't have a fighting chance. Historically, ASKI has chosen to guarantee their loans on the Kiva site so most likely the loans will be covered by ASKI to Kiva Lenders.
Right now overall damage is being assesed by the Executive Director, Rolando B. Victoria (Boss Rolly) Unfortunately, I just found that Boss Rolly is stuck in the field and can't get back to HQ right now because of a flooding bridge. But there are still smiles at ASKI because the sun is out and the water will go down. "After the storm a new day comes."
Me and my partner in crime (KF9er Adam Preston) will also have to delay our trip up North another few weeks, the recent flooding in Central and continuous flooding in North Luzon is just too bad and electricity is not yet restored.
I am grateful to be here to help a new morning come to ASKI clients and employees. Stay tuned….
Loan to ASKI clients!

BBC WS 'Outlook' squeezes in irrelevant mantras
The December 17th edition of the BBC World Service radio programme 'Outlook' – billed as "the home of extraordinary personal stories" by its presenter Jo Fidgen – included an item described in the synopsis as follows:
"Gaza is one of the most densely populated places in the world, and it's seen a lot of conflict and a lot of human suffering. But there's one teenager, Maram Makkawi, who's been doing her best to help thousands of its stray animals. She's been speaking to Outlook's Saskia Edwards about why she does it."
Jo Fidgen's introduction to the item (from 16:15 here) was virtually identical to that synopsis:
Fidgen: "OK, let's head to Gaza – one of the most densely populated places in the world. It's in a lot of conflict and a lot of human suffering. But there's one teen there who's been doing her best to help the thousands of stray animals in Gaza and she's been speaking to Outlook's Saskia Edwards about why she does it."
The same synopsis appeared in a version of the report uploaded on the same day to the BBC News website's 'Gaza' page.
There are numerous other cities in the world with a higher population density than Gaza City and other places in the world with higher population densities than the Gaza Strip as a whole. Nevertheless, the BBC could not pass up the opportunity to once again promote that well-worn mantra which, together with the context-free references to "a lot of conflict" and "a lot of human suffering", has absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter of the otherwise unexceptionable report about a young woman taking care of stray animals.

For petes sake they said one of. Do you understand the english language or not.
Most people would have thought that given the killing and suffering in Gaza then it adds to the story. Not you.

The British Biased Corporation just its own unique form of anti-semitism, time to kick them out of Israel and excise this cancerous growth. Stop the BBC bias against Israel https://www.thepetitionsite.com/en-gb/takeaction/700/623/910/
please outline the antisemitism here.
If not then it is clear you have no idea of what the term means
You idiot, there is only one Jewish state and the BBC do everything in their power to denegrade Israel and make it seem bad even with a story about some Palestinian with a conscience about animals, it is you a non Jew who has no effing idea what anti-semitism is now f off and go spout your pro Iranian crap elsewhere
I thought so you cannot. Very poor attempt at propaganda
Haha Q.E.D.
Err Einstein I did not make any allegations like your and discredited attempt.
sprichst du deutsch oder doppelt holländisch?
Howse about a BBC report on the fantastic humanitarian work that Israel does for people and animals – whilst the Gazaans have been so-called refugees for thirteen years. and contributed nothing to the world nor themselves Some hope ! Dream on !

GEC is pleased to announce the growing of our team with the addition of Environmental Project Manager Beth Erdman, Staff Engineer Tom Fahl and Architectural Intern Sarah Hoffman. We want to welcome our new staff members.
Beth Erdman joins GEC's Environmental Department with a wealth of experience working in the public sector for the last 15 years, primarily with environmental cleanups. Beth has a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Sciences with an emphasis in Geology and Hydrogeology. Originally looking for a career in the teaching field, Beth changed career directions after taking an Environmental Geology class.
Ms. Erdman will be providing a wide range of Environmental Services but primarily in areas of Phase I and Phase II Site Assessments, Site Investigations, Property Transactions, Storage Tank Services and PECFA Administration.
Beth lives in the Oshkosh, WI area and enjoys spending time mostly outdoors with friends, family and her two dogs Dixie and Georgia.
Tom Fahl joins GEC as a graduate from UW Platteville with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Municipal and Transportation. His interest in Engineering came from randomly choosing Civil Engineering for a high school paper. The more he learned about the field, the more he fell in love with the idea of turning it into a career.
Tom shared, "I'm looking forward to the challenges GEC will provide me with outside the box thinking and providing the best product for our clients". Tom will be applying his skills to several avenues of engineering but primarily within the municipal services.

Sarah Hoffman is the newest addition to our Building Design Team as an Architectural Intern. Sarah graduated with an Architectural Degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a minor in Structural Engineering. An interest in interior design turned into an Architectural passion for Sarah before High School.
Sarah felt a draw to GEC from first learning of an opportunity within the Building Design Services Department. "GEC stood out to me not only because of their proximity to my hometown, but because of the services we offer so closely aligned to both my major and minor degrees." Hoffman said.
Sarah enjoys anything that has to do with her being outside, spending time with family and resides in DeForest, WI.


My daughter (8months) has been refusing vegies for nearly two weeks. She will eat fruit, yoghurt and cereal. Any suggestions on how to encourage her to eat vegies again?
I have a similar problem with my son so I continue to buy baby food veggies and mix them into his dinners (Like Mac and Cheese) Seems to be working for now.
I would take some veggies and then dip the end of the spoon into fruit so the 1st taste was sweet. It always worked for me. When they got older I would just mash the veggies a little bit and they liked the texture better than the smooth. I found out that if you keep offering it they will eventually eat it on there own.
I found that mixing veggies into the fruit worked.

Writing and community
I'm an award-winning writer who takes my themes from history, travel and the mysteries of the human heart. I'm especially interested in writers and artists in transitional generations (THE PIECES OF ME), the aftermath of war (ISOLA D'ELBA ), and how the mistakes we make can shape entire lives (THE SUFFERING WE CAUSED).
I've created this website and blog to share with you thoughts, information, questions, observations - all of the kinds of things that build a community of readers and writers. Please don't be hesitant to Contact Me and let me and others know what you're up to, especially now as we all learn to cope with a new reality of a socially isolated world.
THE PIECES OF ME
"Oh, let me gather myself together,
Where are the pieces
quivering and staring and
muttering
that are all to be a part of me?"
- Robert McAlmon
THE PIECES OF ME is a bio-fictional novel about Kay Boyle's emergence as one of the most promising talents of the fabled Lost Generation. It's fitting to open this brief summary with Robert McAlmon's poem, which I first encountered in Kay Boyle's autobiography, Being Geniuses Together. Just as it was for Kay, the words of the poem became something of an anthem for me as a young writer struggling to find and trust my fictive voice. Now it's given me the title for my novel about Kay's tragic love affair with Ernest Walsh, poet and publisher of the avant grade literary magazine, This Quarter. More than a lover, Walsh mentored Kay, publishing her work and introducing her to the artists and writers who were revolutionizing 20th Century arts, culture and literature.
Kay Boyle famously "knew everyone and saw it all." A complicated woman - passionate, wildly romantic, reckless in love - Kay was also fiercely ambitious. Her meteoric rise as the "Golden Girl" of the literary ex-pat world was no accident. It was, instead, the result of hard work, an unrelenting cultivation of those who could help her career and a genius for language and character revelation in even the smallest of details.
Kay Boyle's life and career as an author of more than 30 highly acclaimed volumes of fiction, poetry and essays; activist; teacher; wife and mother have been documented in biographies and the recent publication of her letters. But for me, the story of Kay and Ernest's love and her early successes can best be told in novel form, where it's possible to freely describe the sensory details and imagine the interior moments that reveal emotional truth.
As ISOLA D'ELBA opens, World War II is newly ended, and all of Europe is shell-shocked. A grieving Madeleine York arrives on Isola d'Elba. Her fiancé, Thomas was killed in the Allied invasion of the island, and she is desperate to forgive him for not being able to save himself. By coming to Elba, she hopes to to learn more about the cloudy circumstances of his death. She's accompanied by Thomas's young son, orphaned, frail, and left to her to mother.
But the island's residents are wary of strangers, hostile to questions about what happened during the war, and Madeleine must finally accept that its mysteries – a body on the beach, two murdered girls and a third missing, the fate of her dear Thomas – will not be revealed. While she has come to mourn, in the end it's Thomas's son she must save.
THE SUFFERING WE CAUSED
Set against a backdrop of the unrest of the Sixties, THE SUFFERING WE CAUSED, is no romantic retelling of those turbulent times, but a tale of abandonment and loss, and the lasting consequences of youthful recklessness.
The novel opens with Caroline's escape from the charismatic and dangerous Hartman. They are fugitives, on the run after a bomb exploded and Caroline's closest friend killed. But where will she go? She cannot go home – the police will be looking for her there. And Hartman will be tracking her.
On her journey "underground," Caroline survives by what Hartman has taught her about leave-taking, "Don't look back." But she's haunted by every detail of what she's done – the trip to Mexico to buy explosives, her betrayal of her friend who was killed and the way she abandoned her beloved Aunt Rose, who raised her from infancy. When she meets and falls in love with J.C., and has his son, she thinks she is saved. But when threatened with discovery, she deserts them, too, and flees.
After fifteen years of staying away , when she realizes her son may be in danger, it's time to come home, even if it means facing up to her past and atoning for her sins.

Tampa unveils plans for Julian B Lane Park renovation
By Keith Morelli, Tribune Staff Published: September 9, 2014
Artist rendering of proposed promenade along the river.
TAMPA – Susan Lane stopped by to hear and see first hand the renovations planned for Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park, tucked onto the west bank of the Hillsborough River between Tampa Preparatory School and the Laurel Street Bridge.She had not been invited by city officials. If they had known she would be there, they may have asked her to say a few words.
Her father was Julian B. Lane, Tampa's mayor from 1959 to 1963, who was instrumental in fighting segregation and went on to become a state lawmaker. The park named for him was built nearly 40 years ago, and Susan Lane had never walked through it before. "I've never walked to the river," she said. Besides being mayor, long before the park was built and dedicated to him in 1977, her father was captain of the Hillsborough High School football team, which played an annual Thanksgiving game at Phillips Field, the municipal stadium then on the Tampa Prep site. "He would have been really pleased," she said, after looking over the proposed design. "We all are proud of this."
The concept came out of a series of meetings with community leaders and residents living close to the park, including North Boulevard Homes across the street, said Mark Johnson, with Civitas, the urban design and landscaping team hired by the city to mold the park. "We didn't start with an idea," he said. The idea came after meeting with more than 300 people who dished out their own ideas. "It was refined again and again, based on people's feedback."
The most prominent need: a "great lawn," where picnics can be held along the riverfront, he said. "That's a big deal here," he said, more so than in other cities where the Denver-based Civitas has designed parks. There will be more, he said. A boathouse will store not only the Stewards Foundation, which offers rowing programs for children and teens and hosts crew competitions each year, but other organizations as well. There will be kayaks, canoes, paddleboards and even dragon boats stored in the boathouse. On the second floor will be a community center, Johnson said.
Now, there are mounds throughout the park, including one in which a small amphitheater sits. That will be torn down, along with some of the hills, so that the river can be seen from the west end of the park, Johnson said. There will be renovated parking and a water park for children. Basketball, tennis and beach volleyball courts will be renovated, and two stages for public events are planned. Walkways will adorn the park so people can stroll along the river and beneath the old live oaks.
"First and foremost," Johnson said, "people wanted access to the river." Mayor Bob Buckhorn said the surrounding communities have offered input that the designers paid attention."This pays homage to the neighborhoods," he said. "We included the communities in this. They've been involved. This is like no other project I've been involved with during my 25 years with the city."
The park is part of Buckhorn's plan for 150 acres of largely public riverfront land just north of Interstate 275, which city officials refer to as the "west bank." Eventually, the mayor said, the west side of the river between Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park and Rick's on the River restaurant to the north will be accessible to the public."It's not inexpensive," he said, "but I think it's worth doing."
Buckhorn said $8 million is in the budget to start the project, which he wants completed within five years. He said it will cost a lot more than that but wouldn't venture a guess. He said the city is looking at ways to offset costs, like boathouse naming rights or other private-sector sources of revenue. "To put it in perspective, Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park is five acres and that cost $20 million," he said. "This park is 25 acres. This will cost a significant sum of money. "But this is a worthwhile investment," he said. "It will pay dividends for years to come."

Maclean's — канадский журнал-еженедельник, публикующий материалы на злободневные темы. Журнал издаётся концерном St. Joseph Communications (права приобретены в 2019 году у группы Rogers Publishing) и распространяется на территории всей страны. Количество читателей журнала, издающегося с 1896 года, в начале XXI века оценивается Канадской энциклопедией более чем в два миллиона.

История
Издание, выпуск которого начало рекламное агентство в 1896 году, в первые годы существования носило имя The Business Magazine и выходило раз в месяц. Целевой аудиторией журнала в эти годы были деловые люди, а основой содержания — перепечатки из заграничных изданий, посвящённых бизнесу.

В 1905 году журнал приобрёл , для которого это стало первой попыткой издания коммерческого журнала для широкой публики — до этого специализацией Маклина были отраслевые издания. В 1906 году имя журнала было изменено на The Busy Man's Magazine. До конца первого десятилетия XX века содержание журнала и его целевая аудитория не претерпели серьёзных изменений, однако затем произошла смена редакционной политики. Издание, с 1911 года получившее название Maclean's, стало включать всё больше оригинальных материалов, в том числе предназначенных для читательниц-женщин, а с учётом роста национального самосознания главный редактор Т. Б. Костейн стал больше внимания уделять внутренней канадской тематике. Расширение аудитории было связано со стремлением превратить публикуемую рекламу в основной источник финансирования издания, а для этого нужно было адресовать публикации той части населения, которая совершала больше покупок. Повышенное внимание к канадской тематике, выгодно отличавшее издание Маклина от американских журналов схожего толка, обеспечивало больший объём подписки внутри страны.

С февраля 1920 года Maclean's перешёл с ежемесячного на двухнедельный формат. Число его подписчиков в этот период составляло 70 тысяч, а к началу 1930-х годов, по собственным данным издателей, достигло 130 тысяч человек. Количество подписчиков выросло до четверти миллиона к 1945 году, когда в журнале публиковался путевой дневник британского журналиста и политика , совершавшего в это время 5000-мильный вояж по Канаде.

Популярность журнала достигла пика в начале 1950-х годов, когда его оттавским корреспондентом был Блэр Фрейзер, а издателем в Торонто — Ральф Аллен. В журнале в этот период сочетались высококачественные репортажи и развёрнутые публикации на общественно-политическую тему, хорошая работа иллюстраторов и литературные произведения. Затем, однако, по мере того, как рекламодателей стало всё больше привлекать телевидение, Maclean's, как и другие журналы, начал испытывать финансовые трудности. Даже сотрудничества с такими ведущими журналистами как ,  и Кристина Макколл, оказалось недостаточно, чтобы избежать кризиса. Проблему в этот период удалось решить лишь переходом на ежемесячный формат. Улучшение ситуации наступило после того, как в 1975 году в Канаде прекратилось распространение американского журнала Time, и Maclean's занял освободившуюся нишу. С 1975 года Maclean's, ставший первым национальным новостным журналом, снова перешёл на выпуск раз в две недели; его представительства действовали в Оттаве, Ванкувере, Калгари, Монреале, Галифаксе, Вашингтоне и Лондоне.

В 1978 году в канадском налоговом законодательстве произошли изменения, благоприятствовавшие периодическим изданиям, в которых канадскими были бо́льшая часть содержания и штата. Эти изменения позволили Maclean's, редактором которого в это время был Питер Ньюман, впервые в его истории перейти на еженедельный формат. В 2007 году Maclean's первым из канадских еженедельных изданий наладил выпуск полностью электронного издания, объявив бесплатную годичную подписку на свою интернет-версию. В 2012 году было запущено мобильное приложение для iPad. В 2019 году издательская группа Rogers Publishing продала журнал вместе с рядом других крупных изданий, в том числе Chatelaine, концерну St. Joseph Communications

Статья Канадской энциклопедии в начале XXI века оценивала количество читателей Maclean's более чем в два миллиона человек. В 2005 году издание стало победителем в номинации «лучший журнал» в рамках ежегодной серии премий National Magazine Awards.

Регулярные публикации и дополнительные издания
Каждый год в марте Maclean's публикует рейтинг канадских вузов. Этот рейтинг пользуется популярностью, хотя некоторые университеты отказываются от включения в него, а критики указывают на излишнюю упрощённость и субъективность критериев, а также низкую надёжность из-за малого объёма выборки. Ещё одной популярной ежегодной публикацией Maclean's стал список 100 лучших канадских работодателей.

Помимо публикуемого в журнале рейтинга вузов, регулярно выходит в виде отдельного издания «Справочник Maclean's по канадским университетам» (). Публикации прежних лет из Maclean's легли в основу выходящей отдельно серии книг (Canada at War, Canada on Ice, Canada in the Fifties, In the Face of Disaster, Maclean's People), имеющей в Канаде статус бестселлера.

The Haystack at Hampstead Theatre
The Haystack at Hampstead Theatre | Theatre review
What are the implications of state surveillance? What happens to those who ask too many questions? Written by Al Blyth and directed by Roxana Silbert, The Haystack is a tense, modern thriller that raises important ethical questions regarding the thin line between safety and oppression.
Neil (Oliver Johnstone) and Zeff (Enyi Okoronkwo) are two young, self-proclaimed computer geeks working for GCHQ. The play follows Neil retelling his story to journalist Denise (Lucy Black), who is tasked with finding the person leaking state sensitive information to Guardian reporter Cora (Rona Morison). However, things become complicated as Neil's work leads to suspicious suicide and his interest in Cora becomes more active and intrusive.
Blyth obviously has a talent for crafting gripping relationships. The dynamic between Neil and Cora is full of suspense and it creates an odd sensation: feeling uncomfortable whilst simultaneously rooting for him. The unique technological angle presents a gripping power dynamic that is creepy yet fascinating to watch. Furthermore, the wit and comedy throughout the production highlight Blyth's talent in crafting not only a full-fledged story but also engaging dialogue. All in all, this makes The Haystack a chilling but enjoyable and immersive watch.
In addition to the writing, The Haystack's acting must be applauded – particularly the chemistry between Johnstone and Okoronkwo. The journey of their friendship, whilst not being the main focus of the play, stands out remarkably. Despite The Haystack's strengths, its use of technology and stage design are somewhat lacking. The videos and theatrical effects used throughout the play feel outdated at points or (especially in the second half) missing altogether. For a production concerned with surveillance and our modern use of technology, the video compositions and set design felt disappointingly like they belonged to an earlier decade.
However, The Haystack's story, cast and message don't disappoint. Its comments made on voyeurism, the consequences of disrupting the status quo and questioning where safety truly lies makes it an important and poignant watch. It is a production that presents thrills, chills and a fabulous start of the year for the Hampstead Theatre.

The Haystack is at Hampstead Theatre from 31st January until 7th March 2020. For further information or to book visit the theatre's website here.

Blackwater Hires PR Giant in Image Seige
By RICHARD LARDNER
Friday, October 5, 2007; 5:17 PM
WASHINGTON -- Public relations giant Burson-Marsteller has vast experience steering companies through tough times. But there's a limit to how much it can help Blackwater USA, a new client that's been battered by negative publicity.
The State Department, which pays Blackwater hundreds of millions of dollars to protect U.S. diplomats in Iraq, has stringent rules barring the private security contractor from discussing with the media the details of its work, according to those familiar with the arrangement.
Under those limitations, it's difficult to repair a corporate image, said one official close to Blackwater.
The department allows little room for error. On Sept. 16, Blackwater guards were involved in a shoot-out in Baghdad that left 13 Iraqis dead. Blackwater issued a statement to reporters saying its personnel acted lawfully and appropriately to a "hostile attack" from "armed enemies."
That statement was not cleared first with State officials, a move that prompted complaints from the department because the statement pre-empted official inquiries into the incident. The Iraqis have maintained the Blackwater guards opened fire without provocation.
More recently, Erik Prince, Blackwater's top executive, appeared with department approval before a congressional committee investigating the company. Although Democrats on the committee were sharply critical of Prince, Blackwater representatives viewed his appearance as a rare and welcome opportunity to respond to their critics.
Even in a hostile hearing room, Prince could at least respond, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak to reporters.
Burson-Marsteller was brought aboard by the Washington law firms representing Blackwater _ McDermott Will & Emery and Crowell & Moring.
One of the Burson-Marsteller executives working on the Blackwater account is Robert Tappan, a former State Department official who joined Burson-Marsteller in July and is president of the company's Washington office.
At State, Tappan was deputy assistant secretary for public affairs. While at State, he spent six months in Baghdad as director of strategic communications for the Coalition Provisional Authority, the temporary governing body that disbanded in June 2004.
Paul Cordasco, a spokesman for Burson-Marsteller, said the company does not discuss its clients.
According to the Center for Media and Democracy, Burson-Marsteller clients have included cigarette maker Philip Morris, nuclear power plant owner Entergy and Allergan, the pharmaceutical company that makes Botox.

Substitute Lewandowski Creates Bundesliga History by Slamming 5 Goals in 9 Minutes
by R K Gupta on September 24, 2015
Robert Lewandowski didn't feature in the starting line-up in Bayern Munich's league fixture against Wolfsburg on Tuesday September 22, 2015 . The home fans at the Allianz Arena in Munich were a bit surprised to see Wolfsberg keeping the ball with them for the first 5 minutes as Lewandowski watched from the benches as just another spectator. Wolfsburg got an opportunity in the sixth minute but Caligiuri's cross was nicely held by the Bayern goalkeeper. Though Bayern claimed the ball possession, they couldn't control the game. Then in the 27th minute, Caligiuri got a great ball from Draxler and smashed it past Neuer from the right edge of the box. Wolfsburg took the 1-0 lead and kept it until the halftime. After the break, Bayern coach Pep Guardiola replaced Juan Bernat with Robert Lewandowski. The next 6 minutes went by in the same manner as the game in the first half. Then the unprecedented occurred. In the period between the 51st and 60th minutes, the Polish international improved his season's goals tally from four to nine in an extremely rare onslaught. He began his miraculous streak in the 51st minute with a tap-in and followed that up with a sublime strike from just outside the penalty area. . His third goal came from a rebound chance, fourth from a stunning volley and the last from an acrobatic cycle shot. The official time for Lewandowski's dazzling performance was recorded as 8 minutes 59 seconds and the Pole had played for a shade under 15 minutes since he came as substitute for Bernat. Riding on Lewandowski's heroic exploits, Bayern ended as 5-1 winners after a 0-1 deficit at halftime.
In one of the most scintillating football displays in recent memory, Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski made history by singlehandedly taking his team to a 5-1 victory against Wolfsburg. Lewandowski scored each of those five goals scored in a space of 9 minutes in the second half. In the first half, Lewandowski didn't play but Bayern coach sent him in to replace Juan Bernat after 45 minutes. Wolfsburg had a reasonably good start and even found the lead from a 27th minute goal by Caligiuri, who made gainful use of a beautiful ball from Draxler before smashing it past the Bayern goalkeeper Neuer. Wolfsburg were plain unlucky to miss a 2-0 lead in the 38th minute, when goalkeeper Neuer came 50 yards out of the goal, when Guilavogui sent the ball flying. Luckily for Bayern and Neuer, the ball grazed the left post and bounced away. Nothing special happened after this massive relief for Bayern and the teams went for the break with Wolfsburg leading 1-0.
The 27-year old Robert Lewandowski joined the Bayern Munich side after halftime. In his sixth minute on the field, Lewandowski just tapped in a ball to open his account in the 51st minute and 60 seconds later, had a terrific strike from just out of the box. In the 54th minute, Lewandowski got his hat-trick, after he received a lovely ball from Goetze and though his huge strike hit the post in the first attempt, the Pole rifled home the rebound. That was the fastest hat-trick ever in Bundesliga history, achieved in 3 minutes 22 seconds. In 1991, Michael Tonnies had taken nearly 6 minutes, playing for Duisburg against Karlsruher.
Lewandowski was not finished yet. He scored his fourth goal in 57th minute, when Lewandowski received a ball from Costa and smashed it inside the goal and in the 60th minute the Pole achieved a unique distinction of scoring his fifth goal on the trot inside 9 minutes. The last of his goals was scored from a fabulous scissor kick from just inside the box. Lewandowski had once scored four goals for Borussia Dortmund in their 4-1 win over Real Madrid in the 2013 UEFA Champions League semi-final. But 5 goals in 9 minutes were sweeter, when his side was down 0-1 at halftime. The final victory score of 5-1 was a stunning blow for Wolfsburg, who were completely unprepared for the Lewandowski onslaught.
One unhappy person with Lewandowski's feat on Tuesday was Bayern captain Philipp Lahm, who said Lewandowski could have grabbed seven goals tonight. In the 69th minute, Costa sent a juicy cross to Lewandowski, who struck cleanly but an incredible goal-line clearance by Rodriguez denied the Pole. Then in the 79th minute, Lewandowski's right footed shot from right side of the box was also blocked. The match ended with Lewandowski falling one-goal short of equaling Bundesliga's 6-goal haul by Cologne's Dieter Mueller in their 7-2 win over Werder Bremen in August 1977.
