"VEDA's total volume was extraordinary this year, consisting of a mix of bond financing and direct loans," said Jo Bradley, VEDA's Chief Executive Officer. "VEDA experienced another big year in the issuing of tax-exempt conduit bonds -- an important financing tool for larger businesses, with VEDA serving as the conduit that allows these companies to access the tax-exempt market." VEDA closed an additional $53.1 million in agricultural, commercial, energy and small business loans. Of this amount, agricultural projects comprised 41%, compared with 29% for commercial projects, 16% for energy projects, and 14% for small business projects.
As of June 30, 2018, VEDA had assets of $300.3 million, with a loan portfolio totaling $266.7 million. Since its inception in 1974, VEDA has approved financings totaling $2.5 billion.

Mbalentle Mangete (9) and her teacher Linda Matiwane after crowned Western Cape Story Bosso champ at Intshinga Primary School.
Nine-year-old Mbalentle Mangete, a Grade 3 pupil at Intshinga Primary School in Gugulethu, has been crowned the Western Cape's best storyteller.
She entered her story, "My hero, Desmond Mpilo Tutu", at a special storytelling event Story Bosso by Nalibali held at the school. The theme was "South African Heroes".
Story Bosso is a multilingual storytelling contest designed to provide aspiring storytellers with an opportunity to showcase their talent and to promote storytelling in all official South African languages. An initiative of South Africa's national-reading-for-enjoyment campaign, Nal'ibali, it receives thousands of entries each year.
Mbalentle said she developed an interest in reading and writing at an early age and that her teacher, Linda Matiwane, has been an inspiration to her.
The reading whizkid said it was through hard work and the desire to do well, that won her the prize. "I like maths and isiXhosa at school. After school when I get home I always find time to read. This has given me an opportunity to read more and more," she said.
Thanking everyone, including her classmates, teacher and parents, for their endless support, she said in future she wanted to be a teacher. "I want to teach and help others. Teaching empowers young people. I always look up to my teacher who is an inspiration," she said.
Ms Matiwane spoke highly of her pupil, saying she was always willing to come forward and help read the books in class – and, she said, she was not surprised when Mbalentle won the competition.
"She is a shy person but when it comes to her school work, she is always on point. In class she is not shy to come up with topics and suggest to read a book for her peers. She is a very brilliant kid, can be inquisitive," she said.
Nal'ibali managing director Jade Jacobsohn said storytelling was an important part of South African heritage and played a key role in children's literacy development by encouraging the use of imagination, curiosity, and empathy.
"Stories need to be valued for the critical contribution they play in the development of young minds. They help build neural circuits in our brains, particularly in young brains, that ultimately enable sophisticated thinking and reasoning," said Ms Jacobsohn. She said heroes guide people about how to live our lives.

Order of the Phoenix film news
The film magazine Empire has exclusive news on their website about the fifth Harry Potter movie for which filming is now under way (use the link above to access the full story). Daniel Radcliffe says of David Yates: "The new director's fantastic. I've never been quite this pushed before, so regularly. He's really pushing Harry's emotional and psychological journey. But he also seems to have an incredible eye for sets and shots and things."
Producer David Heyman reports on what they've filmed so far: "We've done a little bit of action so far. We've done some stuff involving centaurs and Grawp, who is Hagrid's 16ft brother. The kids have to act against a lot of blue screen for characters like Grawp, but thankfully they're used to that by now."
The fifth book is not universally popular with the cast; Emma Watson has said she "really didn't like" it, compared to the others, but Daniel Radcliffe says "It's actually my favourite. The third and the fifth are my favourites, which is a very uncommonly held opinion." He suggests that "the problem is that Harry can be seen to come across as quite petulant in the book, and I don't actually think that's the case. I think when J K Rowling puts things in capital letters I don't think that necessarily means he's shouting. It could just refer to the sort of energy behind what he's saying. I think that's one of the things that people object to about the book, is that they don't want a manic-depressive superhero." Both Radcliffe and Heyman insist that Harry will not be just a petulant teen in the film version.
Filming is due to continue until the middle of May, after which they will take a two month break so the young actors can do their exams (GCSEs in the case of Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe). Filming will resume in July and continue until October or November, and it's expected that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will reach cinemas in November 2007.

Thanks for this news, Michele.
November 2007 is a long time from now! Since when do child actors have to take exams (kidding!)
In any case, Daniel comes across as more and more thoughtful in interviews, have you noticed?
You're welcome for the news. I'm personally not that interested in seeing the fifth film after hating the fourth one so much, but I know others are interested.
Yes I'd noticed Dan's a lot more thoughful - I don't find it too surprising, he's growing up, after all.
The Poodle's Friend said...
You didn't like the fourth film? I guess I can see why. It did miss out on a lot of the beautiful details on the wizarding world that made the book so good.
What do you think of the fifth book? I'm inclined to agree with Emma on this one, but a lot of people actually loved it.
It would be fair to say I hated the fourth film and have now declared war on film versions of the Harry Potter books since they persist in ripping out the (to me) most interesting bits - eg. the bits that demonstrate Hermione's importance to Harry's "Quest" !
If you're interested in reading my full "review" of the film ("rant" might be a more accurate word !), it's at: http://scholar-blog.blogspot.com/2005/12/harry-potter-and-goblet-of-fire-film.html
I find the fifth book somewhat headache-inducing since JKR persisted in deploying the CAPSLOCK every time Harry got upset, but I enjoyed the story - I haven't hated a single book yet, although the third remains my favourite.
I'm a fan of both the books and the films. I have to say I've never really been disappointed to the point of not wanting to see them. As huge,detailed and specific as the books are, I can't imagine all of that crammed into a 2 hour movie that all would understand and appreciate. To that end, I think they did the best adapatation that could be done, and knowing JKR reviews and essentially blesses the script beforehand helps. If she's content with the film version, I am too.
No, there was no S.P.E.W. or Ludo or Winky or Veela, but so what. The adaptation for the movie gave us the core of the story, as well as incredible scenery, special effects, and talented actor portrayals. Yes, it was a bit off the written word, but that's what made it fun. For me, perfect example of this fun was the dragon chase scene for the first task. Re-reading this section of the book, as a read, my vision wasn't nearly as breathtaking or gripping as the movie. Them adding the roof and flying sequences was the right move for the big screen.
Just my take on it. I'll look forward to the next installment of the series, whatever and however it's finally adapted. Heard release date is 7/13/07.
Well I know lots of people who love the films, but as a book person, and a big fan of the HP books in particular, I felt the films didn't live up to their potential. When you consider just what Peter Jackson managed to cram into the LotR films, I see no excuse for the HP films not being far more detailed. There's no reason to doubt fans and film goers wouldn't sit through a 3 hour film, so why try cramming it into 2 hours and rip out the most important (in my eyes at least) plot details. I wasn't so worried about SPEW (although it grates my cheese that it's always Hermione's character development that gets hacked about the most - typical Hollywood), as some of the other stuff that is important in the book for the later books... I've a friend whose husband has not read the books but loves the movies, and he had trouble making head or tail of film four - they don't stand alone.

The Green Area of Morro da Policia: Health practitioners working with communities (BRAZIL)
July 29, 2018 September 17, 2018 by Chiara
Source: Background paper commissioned for the WHO conference on the Social Determinants of Health (http://www.who.int/sdhconference/resources/draft_background_paper24_brazil.pdf)
Author(s): Camila Giugliani, Denise Antunes do Nascimento, David Legge, Kátia Cesa, Neusa Vitória Marques, Vera Lúcia Machado de Oliveira
Summary: A community in the city of Porto Alegre whose health chances are constrained by their living circumstances. A seminar by the municipal Health Surveillance Department, entitled "The divinity of water", inspired community members by linking the environmental and spiritual dimensions of water. Many initiatives originated to clean and improve the neighbourhood. One of the positive outcomes was the registration of the population: the people were formally recognized as citizens and full holders of the right to health care. Moreover, concrete results and improved life conditions promoted inclusiveness and encouraged people to participate in a process for change thus increasing solidarity. This story can be "scaled up" where practitioners are given the skills, confidence and freedom to engage with communities in a respectful way and where the values and principles reflected in this story are manifest at the practitioner, management and policy levels. The story has been documented and analysed as a project of the PHM in Brazil and was in some degree inspired by the short course "The struggle for health", which was presented by the International People's Health University (IPHU), a project of PHM globally, in Porto Alegre in September 2008. This link points to the role of civil society in confronting the structures of exclusion and marginalisation at the global and national levels as well as in local communities.

It's a rainy day here in Southern Tennessee. As I look out my bedroom window, the fog over the pasture hides the grazing deer and the squirrels scampering from tree to tree.
I've been lying in bed by the large window in my room reading my Bible about Solomon and all his wisdom. Next, I'll be starting a new book that just arrived in the mail yesterday.
In a litte while, I'll check my four bank accounts to see how much passive income I made overnight.
After I publish this blog post, I'll answer some email and drop into a few Facebook Groups to interact with members of a few online communities.
On my To Do List for today is to order some printing for the education conference we're hosting at a beautifully restful state park in two weeks and gather the essentials we'll take to that life-changing event.
The last two of my seven children, who are adults now but not quite out of the house, will be waking soon and going about their day.
It's peaceful and quiet here on the farm and I thank my God for the privilege of being able to reach out to help a needy world through a simple $200 laptop from home or from anywhere I want to call home.
It's also fun to travel and see God's amazing world, which I do quite a bit now that I am no longer homeschooling that crazy bunch. It was a challenge to homeschool for almost 30 years but it was totally worth it and super fulfilling because now they're all doing what they love. While the world encouraged me to pursue "fulfillment" in a job working for someone else, my late husband and I were pouring our lives into seven children while living a humble life on our farm.
In the process of helping my children discover who they are and what they wanted to do, I discovered how to make a living on the Internet. There are so many ways; the problem is not how to do it but which of hundreds of ways is the best for you.
So I help like-minded homeschool entrepreneurs learn to work from home and to educate their children to be home business owners instead of working as employees for someone else. I also host a few conferences throughout the year.
In two weeks, my team is bringing together home business experts and thought leaders in entrepreneurial home education at Fall Creek Falls State Park to share with families from all over America.
I love helping families learn to live like my family does peacefully here at the Backside of Nowhere. It's wonderful to have all you need and to be able to help others.
But it takes thinking differently about education. That's why we host our Home Education for Home Business Conference.
If you love the idea of being able to sleep in on a rainy day to read a good book, learn how to work from home. Who knows what you and God together might create that changes the world.
Although mine are grown and gone, my great joy is that my grandkids are being home educated now! I feel that I've gotten the baton safely in the hands of the next generation…and it is a tremendously joyful feeling!
Fabulous Rhea.. As a proof reader, I was pleased I caught no mistakes! Which is so rare today.
Rhea, I love the way you paint the picture of your work day, revealing what is possible. It would be wonderful if everyone knew the options that are available to design their own work and life, and have financial freedom. I appreciate your vision to make that happen!
We'll see what God will do. I, too was reading Solomon's wisdom in Proverbs today. Proverbs 28:25-trusting.

So these are the last group of the sky paintings (excluding the oils). I had a hard time with some of these paintings. There are several that were so "subtle" the photos captured almost nothing.
None of these look totally like the actual paintings--they tend to be darker. The group immediately below (and the one above) are all 6x4 postcard sized.
Below are images that are 7x 10 1/4 paintings. I am fond of all of these. They are mostly watercolor. I may have uses some gouache here and there but not much. I like using gouache as clouds.
I like the last of the small ones. "It was a dark and stormy night ..."
I like most of these..I think I like the big sun one best..."big" meaning 7x10!
I love your paintings. So soft and flowing. I would love to see them 30"x 40" or larger completed in acrylic or oil. The larger to me the greater the impact.

Chess History Add comments
Kasparov takes on Korchnoi (notice Karpov lurking in the background) in 1982
Considering he was/is one of the greatest players of all time Garry Kasparov has featured surprisingly infrequently on this website. It's time to put the record straight with a post dedicated to the ex-World Champion who is one of my chess heroes.
November the 9th is a date that Kasparov remembers with great fondness as I discovered recently when watching an interview clip with him on You Tube. There are two reasons for this. The first, and most prominent, is that he won the World title from Anatoly Karpov on the 9th of November 1985. Not only that but he won the match with a game that is considered to be a masterpiece. If you haven't seen it, I've put it into the game viewer below. The annotation is Raymond Keene's.
The second game in the viewer was also played on the 9th of November. This time Kasparov draws his happy memories from his famous victory against Victor Korchnoi at the Lucerne Olympiad in 1982. Kasparov was just a young man then and of course Korchnoi was persona non grata with the Soviets due to his defection and the acrimonious clashes he'd had with Karpov for the World title in 1978 and 1981. When the USSR were due to play Korchnoi's adopted nation, Switzerland, Karpov immediately said he wouldn't play in the match and that forced young Kasparov into the limelight to play on board 1 for his country against the defector.

I've added the link to the interview with Kasparov where he tells the fascinating story behind this game with Korchnoi – the passage about Lucern 1982 starts at 0:55. It's really interesting and the game analysis is excellent. If you want to follow the analysis through for the whole game then you'll need to watch parts 28 and 29 in this series as well. You'll be directed to the next part at the end of each video.
Below is a later segment of the interview where Kasparov talks about and analyses the famous game with Karpov. This is a long video which is well worth watching in full. However, if you just want the segment about the final game of the 1985 World Championship then you should skip to 40:00.
So there you are. Two good reasons why Garry Kasparov will be smiling today!

Texas State University bomb threat
by texannews · October 18, 2012
By Caleb McCaig –
At around 9:40 a.m. Texas State University sent out an emergency text alert to all students registered for the alert service advising them of a bomb threat on campus at the admissions building. The campus surprisingly was not evacuated, even after another emergency text was sent out at 10:05 a.m. stating that two resident halls, San Jacinto and Tower, were included in the bomb threat area. This has been the fourth bomb threat to an educational institute in less than a month.
The other schools affected by bomb threats were the University of Texas in Austin, North Dakota State and Louisiana State University. Each of these schools evacuated classes when the emergency alert texts were sent out. Travis Veselka, a senior biology student at Texas State University, said the atmosphere was "pretty normal on campus, nothing has really changed about anything."
"It's kind of ridiculous the campus wasn't evacuated, they say they really care about the students and then they do this," Veselka said. He did, however, appreciate how quickly the emergency system sent out the texts and emails. "Yes, it absolutely worked well, the email and text woke me up right when it was sent out. I was actually surprised how quickly it got there."
At noon the official Texas State University twitter account tweeted "EMERGENCY ENDED… All halls and building are open except Admissions. All classes will be held as normal."

Don Draper (1929-1990) was a character actor who specialized in playing snooty salesmen or maitre'ds. He appeared in Miss Piggy's Hollywood (half of The Jim Henson Hour episode 105), cast to type as George Wendt's prim tailor.
Draper's other TV credits, dating to the 1970s, include episodes of Lou Grant, Diff'rent Strokes, Newhart, Married... with Children, Moonlighting, Hard Time on Planet Earth, and Mr. Belvedere. His few film credits include Moving (with Richard Pryor) and Caddyshack II (again playing to type, as a club manager).

Microsoft has admitted it has a soft spot for Linux – but it thinks open source users don't share the same enthusiasm.
And it seems that Microsoft may actually be quite keen on taking a leaf out of the open source book, with an eye on putting its source code in the public domain. What some execs would like to see is a smart-card scheme – an extension of the existing practice where selected trusted users can access source code in a secure environment.
But Microsoft remains adamant that commercial reasons prevent it from simply putting the source code - its "crown jewels" - in the public domain.
That magpie attitude, according to Microsoft, is mutual. Red Hat's decision to end support for its free software and the Novell-SuSE link-up have put the last nail in the coffin of the free software model, the Redmond behemoth believes - even going so far as to speculate that the move from free to paid-for open source software is a validation of Microsoft's way of doing business and the only way the open source movement can survive.
Despite the rivalry, Microsoft is keen to talk up its love for the competition, One Microsoft employee even went so far as to say Linux having a 50 per cent market share would be good for Microsoft. "At least if Linux takes off, their viruses will propagate and we won't be seen as the bad guys any more", he said. Tipp equally sees advantages to Linux taking off. "We think Linux is great", he said, adding that competition from the penguin and associates keeps the Microsoft on its toes.
Open source users, however, aren't quite so overflowing with praise, he said. "We haven't talked to a single user who's said they're using [open source] because it's better." Tipp argued that it is more a case of sheer frustration with licensing and Microsoft's poor relationship with its customers over the last few years – or simply the perceived cost benefits of open source - driving users to migrate.
And it's that 'misperception' that Microsoft is most keen to address, restating its aim to get more information on how free software fits into the total cost of ownership into the hands of its consumers.
But when it comes down to how seriously the Gates camp really takes its open source rivals, the message is now they've started to sit up and take notice: "Do we lie awake at night and worry? You know Microsoft, it's the paranoid company. If someone buys just one copy of something else, we worry," Tipp told silicon.com.

Why did you decide to pursue a graduate degree?
Pursuing graduate studies has been one of my ambitions since my undergraduate. During the early years of my undergraduate studies, I developed an serious interest in the medical applications of pharmacology and genetics and an appreciation of how understanding the molecular mechanisms of underlying human disease can ultimately help us predict, diagnose and treat illnesses. Since then, my fascination with genetic research has not only continued but it has also deepened and shaped my future career plans, and I have become extremely interested and passionate about being a researcher in the genetics field, which was the precursor that led to pursue my graduate studies in medical genetics.
Why did you decide to study at UBC?
UBC is one of the top universities for research and teaching in Canada and around world. As I wanted to unite my background in pharmacology with my research passion and experience in Genetics to pursue my doctoral research in Pharmacogenomics, I found that UBC provides an excellent opportunity to be part of one of the largest Pharmacogenomics networks in Canada, the Canadian Pharmacogenomics Network for Drug Safety (CPNDS), which includes a large team of researchers and clinicians across Canada and internationally that would provide me the support I need to become an expert in the field of Pharmacogenomics. Thus, I believe studying at UBC will not only help me explore concepts and findings in genetics but will also provide me with the opportunity to further discover my hidden passion for this field and prepare myself for my life-long career in genetic research.
What is it specifically, that your program offers, that attracted you?
The Medical Genetics program at UBC is well-known for its rigorousness and the variety of research topics that it provides, from model organisms and epigenetics to population genetics and genetic counselling. I was also attracted by the divergent community of researchers and clinical geneticists in this program, this rich network gives trainees huge opportunities for interacting and building connections with other trainees, researchers and faculty members pursuing different aspects of research within the same field.
What was the best surprise about UBC or life in Vancouver?
I have been really impressed by how beautiful Vancouver is! Being a coastal city close to the ocean and majestic mountains makes Vancouver one of the most livable cities in Canada. Coming from Montreal, I have been surprised by how different the winter season is in British Columbia compared to the east coast. Even during the winter, you will never run out of weekend adventure options!
I believe studying at UBC will not only help me explore concepts and findings in genetics but will also provide me with the opportunity to further discover my hidden passion for this field and prepare myself for my life-long career in genetic research.
What aspects of your life or career before now have best prepared you for your UBC graduate program?
Pursuing my MSc degree at McGill University was a huge step that prepared me very well for my PhD at UBC. The lessons that I have learned during my MSc degree did not only help me build a foundation to complete my MSc research but also get prepared for my path to PhD. Pursuing research in human genetics afforded me a great chance to explore the genome and its variation through genetic analyses and provided me with a comprehensive grasp of this field. Beyond learning mere facts and theories, I have also learnt to read and critically evaluate both classical and current research articles. Finally, I was given the opportunity to get involved in multiple research projects and present my research in national and international conferences, which fortified my personal growth and self-confidence in presenting my research to a large audience.
What do you like to do for fun or relaxation?
I love biking around the city and hiking during the summer. I also enjoy playing the piano and solving chess puzzles.
What advice do you have for new graduate students?
Finding the suitable environment for your graduate training is of great importance and has a huge impact on your overall performance and graduate life experience. Make sure to surround yourself with supporting mentors and to get connected with the big community of researchers both inside and outside the department. Also, make sure to give yourself breaks from time to time and dedicate some time for your own hobbies, social life and physical activities. Finally, time management is a key skill that will help you succeed in your graduate studies, mastering it will also help you avoid a lot of unnecessary stress!

Adverse drug reactions are major reactions of chemotherapy among patients with pediatric cancers, often requiring dose reduction and affecting patients' survival and quality of life. My project aims to investigate the genetic risk of serious neurological reactions induced by chemotherapy in patients with pediatric cancers using gene-level and genome-wide approaches. Understanding the genetic contribution to such reactions will help better understand the pathology, identify patients at high risk, and ultimately offer opportunities for modifying treatment plans to prevent the occurrence of these severe reactions and reduce the burden incurred on cancer patients and their caregivers.

best of roald dahl books
Wes Anderson made a handsome stop-motion animation of the book in 2009, voiced by George Clooney and Meryl Streep. This book boasts more than 500 pages, and contains nearly 30 of Roald Dahl's best short stories, selected from five of his published short story collections. Not many love stories take in a mad woman in the attic and a spot of therapeutic disfigurement, but this one somehow carries it off with mythic aplomb. Boy is a superb document of life in the Britain of the 1920s and 1930s, but is also highly revealing about the genesis of the writer's obsessions. Expanded from a short story Dahl had published in The New Yorker in 1959, Danny tells the story of a boy growing up with his father William, a garage attendant, in a gipsy caravan beside a wood. The imagination is simply spewing over the top and it was made into an amazing movie. ShortList is now ad free and supported by you, the users. This is a must read! When it comes to children's books, Roald Dahl has written some of the most significant in the genre.His books have influenced a generation, and continue to inspire young people to read. Published posthumously in 1958, Tomasi di Lampedusa's novel is set in 19th century Sicily, where revolution is in the air. In her plot, the murdered child returns to haunt a black community, suggesting the inescapable taint of America's history. But it is Becky Sharp, one of literature's great characters, who gives this novel its enduring fascination. He wrote in English and took the title of his novel from a Yeats poem, but wove Igbo proverbs throughout this lyrical work. And yet Roald Dahl was also a highly complex character, as the Royal Mint's decision to scrap a commemorative coin in his honour attests. The Best of Roald Dahl is a collection of 25 of Roald Dahl's short stories. The witches is definitely the best Roald Dahl book. Read this in the fifth grade and LOVED it! While Heller drew on his own experience as a WWII pilot, it was the McCarthyism of the fifties that fueled the book's glorious rage. Roald Dahl is one of the best-selling children's authors of all time having sold approximately 250 million books worldwide - which makes our job of rounding up the top ten pretty darn difficult. A passage about the unpleasant personality of Mrs Twit eroding her once-attractive face into ugliness is especially fine, while his repulsive description of her husband's filthy beard attests to a life-long loathing of facial hair. Gizmo is very adorable! The Grand High Witch's genocidal plan to wipe out the children of the world with poisoned confectionery reads like a perversion of Willy Wonka's golden ticket scheme, while the narrator's being turned into a mouse looks all the way back to the author's own youth as described in Boy, that book itself inspired by his having commenced work on The Witches. The Witches9. Also read the Bfg it is also gucci twins. The book is dedicated to his two eldest daughters, Olivia and Tessa and the 1996 film of the book even features Simon Callow as a grasshopper and Richard Dreyfuss voicing a centipede - in case the story needed any more charm. Do good so interesting rohal dhal probably lied. Dahl would continue his biography with a second book, Going Solo (1986), recording his war service with the RAF. Space, time travel or dystopia? I rate this book 10 of 10. Dahl's book had to be issued with a disclaimer warning children not to try this at home. However, we've decided to rise to the occasion because, thanks to a certain pandemic, we need all the entertainment we can get at the moment. Are you sure you want to mark this comment as inappropriate? Our journalists will try to respond by joining the threads when they can to create a true meeting of independent Premium.

For every lucky Elizabeth, who tames the haughty, handsome Mr. Darcy and learns to know herself in the process, there's a Charlotte, resigned to life with a driveling buffoon for want of a pretty face.

Our Master Tailor has the skills to alter your Coat or Jacket to achieve the perfect fit. To improve the fit of your coat or jacket we can take in the side seams or rear centre seam for a flattering fit. We can also shorten the length of your coat or sleeves ensuring the original stitch pattern, thread colour and any detail are matched perfectly. When shortening the sleeves of a coat we can offer two options. We can shorten from the crown (shoulder) or from the sleeve end. As professional tailors with over 30 years of experience, we would recommend shortening from the crown as the most effective way of achieving a flawless result. Working from the shoulder means that the cuff detail or 'shams' are not disturbed and consequently the design and proportions of the coat or jacket have remained original. We can narrow or 'chip' the shoulders of a coat for a neater fit or add pads to define the silhouette or even out a dropped shoulder. A ripple of excess fabric across the back neck area or 'Square back neck' can be removed by simply opening the back neck and shoulder seam, lifting excess fabric and re-stitching as original for a more complimentary fit on the body. We also specialise in Coat Relining. If your jacket or coat has a worn lining we can replace your existing lining with either a close resembling colour, or replace it with a colour of your choice adding more pockets or detail at your request. Zip replacement or buttons are of course basic alterations that we are happy to perform.

Thank you for taking time to write to us. I know it's a controversial matter and surely many/most do not whole heartedly agree with the feminine dress suggestions we make. And, you're very right in the different points you make regarding the dress of men and women and the dress or practices in "Biblical times." Many years ago I came to the position I hold to this day regarding modest/feminine dress — and distinguishing masculine and feminine dress and for this reason, I haven't owned a pair of slacks/jeans for over 20 years. This decision came to me at a conference where I saw many beautiful sisters wearing pants/pant suits — even tastefully fitting — and yet, when they reached down to gather things I couldn't help but notice shapes and accentuated areas of the body I have come to believe ought to be covered — so I began to study the effect of different forms of dress for men and for women; the allure of women, the effect of women's dress styles on men's thought-life, etc., etc., and I studied a bit longer after talk it all over with my husband and making the personal decision regarding modest/feminine apparel I hold to this day. Interestingly, I came to this conclusion some time after doing a study of God's designed roles for men and women and their differences.
I know this breaks down and that there are no real hard lines one could draw — especially knowing there are very feminine looking pants/etc. available. But in general, to me it's important to align myself with God's design (male and female created He them) and not wearing clothing that pertains to the other (Deuteronomy 22.5) this would also be sort of hard to come to a hard fast rule over — thus I just don't even spend time trying to split hairs over what's feminine and what's masculine — instead I go with a covering issue and dresses/skirts seem to me to deal best with this. Again, my desire is simply to encourage women to embrace their femininity (and, btw, these are just suggestions — and this is not legalistic talk — this is not a salvation issue and cannot/mustn't be construed as such and this would be one of those endless doubtful disputations issues and therefore not appropriate/necessary for haggling over). Our (American) culture seems to generally not care regarding the needful distinguishing of men's roles and women's roles and dress. I pray to be a help, not a hindrance and surely not attack those who don't see it this way at all. I just want to encourage women to seek purity, honour and modesty. Sometimes I see that God seems to exaggerate (I don't mean change or make special exceptions) His call/requirements on some lives and others glean what seems to be very different results. Anyway…. no offense intended here (and none take, by the way). Just iron sharpening iron. I've received letters like this many many times through the years and always appreciate the opportunity to discuss the matter of modest/feminine attire. God bless you.
I am a little concerned about many opinions I hear regarding why women should wear dresses. While I do feel that dresses are more modest and am moving in the direction of wearing long skirts and dresses for that reason, I do not agree with the idea of women wearing dresses to distinguish themselves from men in a way that is biblically commanded. The Bible never says that women must wear dresses so avoid being mistaken for men. And I don't typically have any problem (nor does anyone else I know) distinguishing men from women. Pants for women are pretty feminine. Too femine, really. Men did not wear shirts and trousers in biblical times, and I actually feel that they are too immodest when a man tucks in his shirt. I would much prefer that men and women would dress per Jewish customs in biblical times, with both women and men wearing long tunics with outer robes. Though the women's tended to be longer than the men's, they were both much closer to our modern day modest dresses than anything our men wear today. They were distinguised by being a little longer for the women and by being more elaborate or more brightly colored for the ladies.
It just seems hypocritical to me to say that women should only wear dresses and not pants like men when men did not wear pants as men wear today. Perhaps what we should be telling people instead is that men should wear shorter dresses than women. Or perhaps we should begin to return to old customary clothing traditions of biblical times and return to wearing tunics and robes.
Hi! I found I was getting quite a few hits from this website http://www.achristianhome.org/ModestFeminine/Modest_Clothing_for_you.htm and wanted to thank you for linking me. I thought maybe http://www.mariemadelinestudio.com would be a good fit for your link page, probably even better than mine. They are definitely carving out a niche in modest yet lovely dressing for young women. They sew sweet, darling, fashionable, modest clothing for others as well as sell their fabrics. Such a beautiful family, the girl's will make you laugh with their bubbling, sweet,funny, personalities. I cannot say enough good things about them, I just love the Long ladies.
I was looking at your blog and I feel like I have a product that you would really enjoy reviewing! We are a company from Utah specializing in layering pieces that expand wardrobes for women and girls started by 2 women who wanted to create a product that would promote modesty and help women and girls feel comfortable in today's latest fashions, as well as extend wardrobes in these tough economic times. It's called Halftee (check us out on the web at halftee.com or halfteegirlee.com) I would love to be able to work together. Please feel free to look at our site and choose any item that you would like to review and I will be happy to get that right out to you!!!
I added your site today. May the Lord God be with you and grant you His marvelous peace and blessings.
Thank you! And bless you for dressing modestly.

Government Pushes Factory Farming
Despite consumers becoming more and more conscious about the environmental, cultural and economic repercussions of their food choice, Food and Water Watch says that the US government is pushing for and encouraging more factory farming in US oceans.
Over the past decade, people have become increasingly conscious about the environmental, cultural and economic repercussions of their food choices, and a movement has emerged to support more diverse, sustainable options. This movement has extended to choices about seafood, as people take note of issues such as overfishing and the environmental ramifications of different types of fish farming.
Despite this, the US government continues to subsidise the development of open ocean aquaculture, a type of factory farming that threatens the health of our oceans, coastal communities and consumers. Factory fish farming involves the production of as many as tens of thousands of fish in cages off the coastline.
This report revisits the four US taxpayer-supported factory fish farming experiments — in Hawaii, New Hampshire and Puerto Rico — that are described in Food & Water Watch's previous reports, Seas of Doubt and the first edition of Fishy Farms. Because all of these research and demonstration projects have previously received government funding to advance the industry, we have traced the operations' histories for lessons that can be drawn about the feasibility of ocean fish farming.
The results are bleak. This newest update finds that despite having as many as 13 years to overcome setbacks, the farms have been largely unsuccessful, facing some combination of technical, economic or environmental setbacks. They have experienced fish escapes, equipment failure and community opposition. In some cases, the problems have caused the operations to relocate, scale-back, sell out to other companies or even stop production altogether. Operations that have since been proposed have had difficulty securing permits and community support.
Even as new information about these facilities continues to demonstrate that their feasibility is uncertain, the data is becoming clearer about their potential impacts. A leading argument used to promote factory fish farming is that we need it to offset the US sea-food trade deficit — that is, to import less seafood and produce more seafood for local consumption.
A Food & Water Watch analysis finds that to do this through factory fish farming, however, would require an almost unimaginable 200 million fish to be produced in ocean cages each year. This would call for approximately 41 per cent of the entire global production of ishmeal to be used as feed, could produce as much nitrogenous waste as the untreated sewage from a city nearly nine times more populous than the city of Los Angeles and could lead to the escapement of as many as 34.8 million fish (if conditions are unfavorable) or one to two million fish (if conditions are ideal) into our oceans in one year alone.
Despite years of opposition from consumers, environmentalists and coastal communities, as well as increasing evidence that this type of farming is infeasible and irresponsible, the federal government, under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), has continued to sink resources to support this industry and develop a policy for it. The government already has spent over $44 million in support of the troubled industry. During a time when people are pushing to trim the federal budget, NOAA continues to request money to support ocean fish farming — money that could be more wisely spent supporting job creation and economic growth in other areas.
After more than a decade of setbacks, it is time for the US government to recognise that factory fish farming is not the solution for increasing seafood safety and availability. NOAA must stop taking money away from improving the sustainability of our wild fisheries. Congress should act to prevent federal agencies from fast-tracking the development of the industry. The international community already has learned that large-scale, industrial, land-based agriculture cannot solve all economic and food security problems. When it comes to seafood and our oceans, we should take a lesson and avoid repeating the same mistakes.
The factory fish farming industry has failed to demonstrate that it is environmentally sustainable or inancially or technically viable on a commercial scale. None of the US taxpayer-supported factory fish farming experiments have succeeded in proving that the industry is financially feasible or environmentally sustainable.
Open ocean aquaculture is not a solution to the US seafood trade deficit . According to Food & Water Watch analysis, based on examples from cobia, a type of fish currently in production, the United States would need to produce 200 million fish each year to offset the $10 billion seafood trade deficit. Our estimates conclude that:
It would take more than 1.2 million tons of fishmeal — or 41 per cent of the current estimated global supply — to feed this many fish
Assuming that these fish produce a similar amount of waste as farmed salmon, this volume of production would lead to as much nitrogenous waste as the raw sewage from a city of over 34 million people — nearly nine times the city of Los Angeles.
If as many fish escaped from these farms as escaped on average over the course of three unfavorable years of salmon production in Washington state, 34.8 million fish could be released into our oceans, where they could compete and interbreed with wild fish . This is over 17 times as many fish as are estimated to escape from salmon farms in the Atlantic Ocean each year.
Even if the industry avoided the unfavorable conditions of storms or equipment failure, we could still expect one to two million fish to be released into our waters annually, comparable to the quantity of salmon escapes in the Atlantic that some scientists believe has contributed to the extinction of wild Atlantic salmon.
Ocean factory fish farms will not reduce pressure on wild fish populations. The aquaculture industry already is the world's largest user of fishmeal and fish oil, consuming 80 per cent of the world's fish oil and half the fishmeal each ear.
Rather than contributing to domestic and global food supplies, open ocean aquaculture facilities will likely produce an expensive product that is out of reach for many US consumers and may, in fact, contribute to food insecurity in populations that are dependent on the small fish species used in fishmeal and oil for protein.
Like other factory-style industries with the goal of outputting as much as possible for the smallest cost, offshore fish farms will employ relatively few people, and the jobs may not be desirable or safe for workers.
Despite spending many resources and staff time, neither NOAA nor Congress have successfully drafted a policy that could responsibly regulate factory fish farming.

We've come to expect our devices to work flawlessly, rendering any hiccup in performance or reliability more than a minor inconvenience. Here are six tools that will help prep and maintain your Windows hard drive or SSD PC for long-lasting, fast and stable performance.
Our flagship award-winning HDD defragmentation and SSD optimization software is a must if you want to maintain your hard drive (or SSD) for lifespan-extending and sustainable speed and performance improvements.
File and free space fragmentation are inevitable. As time goes on, all the file downloading, access, editing and deleting you do results in chunks of free space scattered all over your disk (the way your system sees it), which results in slower write times and extended wait times to access files and applications.
Symptoms: Have you ever waited for a program to open or to save a file? Exactly.
PerfectUpdater solves the problem of outdated drivers wreaking havoc on your computer's performance and it only downloads original manufacturer drivers to ensure you're safely downloading from the source.
All the hardware and software that comprise your PC require up-to-date drivers that help your system communicate with these components in order for your PC to operate flawlessly and reliably. The problem is when a new update is available for a driver and your system does not recognize this or the manufacturer doesn't notify you of this update – which is not uncommon – the hardware, software or device connected to this driver can stop working correctly or lose functionality altogether.
Symptoms: Have you ever lost your speakers, audio or wifi for no apparent reason? Bingo.
Yes, you see the word "defrag" and you think, "Isn't that what PerfectDisk's for?" and you'd be right. That's because PerfectRegistry defragments and compacts the Windows registry, an area that is off-limits to PerfectDisk's file and free space defragmentation solution, but equally important, when it comes to performance and speed.
The Windows registry is where your system accesses your Windows configuration settings. Windows and programs are constantly querying the registry for information. Over time, the registry becomes internally fragmented from the addition and removal of registry entries and the registry ends up with a lot of blank cells. When new items are added to the registry, these blank cells remain unused, causing the registry to grow much larger than the size of the actual data it holds, resulting in slower boot time, slower system operation and slower application performance.
Defragmenting the registry, compacting it and eliminating the bloat for faster system access to your Windows configuration settings results in faster boot time and registry errors are eliminated, improving general Windows operation.
Symptoms: Slow system boot, strange error messages, even system crashes.

Symptoms: No symptoms required. One question: Are you prepared for a Windows failure?
PerfectGuard blocks spyware in forms ranging from keyloggers to webcam hackers – any malware designed to monitor and record your every move, whether it's what you type into your keyboard, view on your screen, copy and paste to your clipboard or what your webcam can see. Sometimes a phishing email can appear legitimate enough to fool even the most vigilant among us.
PerfectGuard is an additional layer of security that complements your antivirus solution to close off the vulnerabilities in your existing security software, blocking zero-day malware so new most security software can't even recognize it.
Symptoms: Sadly, most victims of spyware may not even know they are being monitored until it's too late, after banking, email and credit accounts have already been compromised, resulting in identity theft or worse. One clue would be if your webcam indicator light goes on even when you're not using it, though some webcam hackers can view everything through your webcam even when the light is off.
PerfectFileRecovery is the most advanced deleted file finder, able to locate long lost files other file recovery programs can't find – even accidentally deleted documents that don't have a name attached.
PerfectFileRecovery can find more file types than any other recovery software and it also allows you to preview your lost files before attempting to recover them, so you don't need to purchase a license in order to discover the file you wanted to recover was not the one you hoped it was. This also goes for music and video files: the LivePreview feature allows playback of audio and video files before you recover them.
Symptoms: Ever delete a file only to need it at a later point? This is your best chance of finding it again.

Following the first two weeks, our group was able to review the draft questionnaire and discuss the tasks concerning ethical guidelines.
These were then used to produce a short statement in our questionnaire which ensures that all surveys will be anonymous and all data will be stored securely on cloud drive which is password protected and accessible only to the team members. We were then able to produce the Ethics Statement section for our Video Diary Framework which outlines the discussed points.
It was important to emphasise that the videos produced by students taking part in our research were to be used in the production of the final film and therefore permission should be obtained from other people if they were to be part of the videos. We also ensured students that we would not publish any pieces of the videos they would not feel comfortable with.

Trinidad & Tobago raises rate 25 bps, ready for challenge
Trinidad and Tobago's central bank raised its benchmark repurchase rate by another 25 basis points to 3.50 percent, its third increase in a row, and said it was "prepared to further position its monetary policy stance to address any challenges that may arise from unanticipated changes in global energy markets."
The Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago, which has raised its rate by 75 basis points since September, added that it had embarked on intensified open market operations to "aggressively" remove excess liquidity from the banking system in coming months and larger and more frequent foreign exchange interventions would also indirectly help absorb some excess liquidity.
The main factors behind the central bank's rate rise was the U.S. Federal Reserve's guidance about its future policy path - which signaled a likely rise in the U.S. fed funds rate to around 1 percent by end-2015 - along with signs that Trinidad and Tobago's economy seems to be approaching full capacity and the positive growth outlook for the country's non-energy sector, the bank said.
The anticipated U.S. rate rise is expected to make U.S. dollar assets even more attractive than TT dollar assets, prompting further capital outflows in search of higher yields, the bank said.
Trinidad and Tobago's economy appears to be approaching full capacity judging from a number of indicators, including the fact that headline inflation is creeping up, hitting 8.5 percent in December from 5.50 percent at the start of the year.
Earlier this week the central bank said it had sold US$400 million to the banking system during January, the largest foreign exchange intervention in a single month to date, surpassing November 2010 when the bank sold $315 million when there was also unsatisfied demand for foreign exchange.
The central bank's strategic foreign exchange management program kicked off on Jan. 15 with a $200 million intervention, then it sold another $100 million Jan. 23 and then $100 million Jan. 28.
Despite sales of $1.7 billion in 2014, the central bank said there was significant unsatisfied demand that carried over into early this year.
The demand for foreign exchange derives from substantial imports of consumer durables that is fueled by elevated domestic liquidity and strong growth of consumer credit.
Trinidad and Tobago's net official reserves amounted to $11.1 billion as of Jan. 28, or 12.5 months of import cover.
The Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago issued the following statement:
"At its January 2015 meeting, Central Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) agreed to a third consecutive increase in the 'Repo' rate by 25 basis points to 3 1⁄2 per cent. The MPC based its decision on three factors. The first and most influential factor was recent interest rate guidance from the US Federal Reserve about the future path of its monetary policy. The second factor related to signs the Trinidad and Tobago economy seems to be approaching full capacity, and finally, the MPC considered the still positive growth outlook for the non-energy sector despite the steep decline in oil prices.
Following its December 2014 meeting, the Fed's guidance on the medium-term course of its monetary policy, signalled the Fed funds policy interest rate would likely increase to around 1 per cent by the end of 2015. As a result, global financial markets are now expecting the first increase in the Fed funds policy rate in eight years to occur in the second half of 2015. This anticipated increase in US interest rates is expected to make US dollar assets even more attractive to investors than TT dollar assets, prompting additional portfolio capital flows out of Trinidad and Tobago in search of higher yields. Although the interest rate differential between TT- and US-dollar assets has widened somewhat over the past month, domestic interest rates must move from historic lows to maintain a comfortable enough position relative to US interest rates. By January 20th, 2015, the TT-US differential on benchmark 10-year Treasuries stood at 87 basis points, compared with 53 basis points at the end of December 2014.
There are signs the Trinidad and Tobago economy seems to be approaching full capacity. This is reflected in the movement of a number of economic indicators. Headline inflation is creeping up, reaching 81⁄2 per cent in December 2014 from the 51⁄2 per cent at the start of the year. The pickup in headline inflation is mainly due to food price inflation, which remained in double-digit territory (almost 17 per cent) for the sixth successive month in December 2014. The acceleration in food prices largely reflects rising prices for locally produced vegetables and fruits. Unemployment is exceptionally low at a little over 3 per cent of the labour force, with the business community reporting shortages of skilled workers which could push up wages in the private sector. Consumer credit continues to expand at a strong pace, helping to finance substantial imports of consumer durables and contributing towards significant excess demand pressures in the foreign exchange market. In the face of declining crude oil prices, the Government substantially revised downwards its energy price assumptions for the 2014/2015 Budget, but it intends to return to the original fiscal deficit target of roughly 21⁄2 per cent of GDP. This suggests the Government is likely to maintain its expansionary fiscal stance that would further add to elevated liquidity levels (currently around $6 billion) and push up core inflation.
The positive momentum in the non-energy sector has delivered fairly respectable growth for 15 consecutive quarters to December 2014 and the near-term outlook is for continued steady performance in non-energy output. Boosted in part by strengthening growth in the United States and softer oil prices, the tourism-based economies of CARICOM should see some uptick in activity in 2015, providing further support to Trinidad and Tobago's non-energy exports.
Central Bank has put in place a programme of intensified open market operations to aggressively remove excess liquidity from the banking system in coming months in order to support its Repo rate adjustments. Larger and more frequent foreign exchange interventions aimed at preventing systemic foreign exchange shortfalls will indirectly contribute to absorbing some of the excess liquidity. Central Bank is prepared to further position its monetary policy stance to address any challenges that may arise from unanticipated changes in global energy markets."
