At this time, there is a huge collective sale fever that you can find in Singapore. But there is also a downside here. The DC rates used for the non-landed residential use are very high at this point. They raised with around 13.8%, which is a pretty high increase.
The DC rates are up in almost all the geographical sectors, some with just 6%, while others go up to 29%. The increase seems minimal, but it goes to show that the DC rates are getting pretty high. And yes, the developers have to pay them to enhance the use of some sites, same goes if they want to build some larger projects in there as well.
15 residential estates were put in collective sale, and only half were successful. The DC rate increase does manage to affect even many sales, and the developers do need to raise the price to get a good profit.
Some developers are offering lower prices to get some leasehold properties via a collective, something that does discourage owners to put them for a collective sale. The raise is something expected according to the head of consultancy and research at JLL Singapore. But even if this may not seem problematic, it's safe to say that there can be some rather problematic situations shortly.
Between the months of March and August, some major active collective sales ended up in the billions range. So it's safe to say that the sales are going well, but the DC rate increase may not have a positive impact on this in the very near future.
A thing to keep in mind here is that the rates went up for the landed residential users and the commercial ones too, something that you need to keep in mind for sure.
The increase of DC rates and the fact that the developer bids are also rather strange at this time may lead to an increase shortly too. It may be a problematic thing to deal with, but one that will most likely pay off extremely well in the end for the entire market. For the time being, it's hard to understand where the market goes, but based on the presumptions above, we believe that an increase in the overall prices is on the table, and this will come sooner rather than later!

iOS 10: Apple Urges Organ Donation via New iPhone Software
A new feature in iPhone Health app will let users sign up to donate organs
Users can use iPhone to sign up on National Donate Life Registry
Apple has partnered Donate Live America for this initiative
Apple on Tuesday announced that the coming version of software for iPhones will include an easy way for people in the US to become organ donors.
The California-based technology giant said that it collaborated with Donate Live America on a feature in an iPhone Health app that will let users sign up to donate eyes, organs or tissue after the release later this year of mobile operating system iOS 10.
A simple process will enable iPhone user to sign up on a National Donate Life Registry managed by the nonprofit organization, according to Apple.
"This is a huge step forward that will ultimately help save lives," said Donate Life America chief executive David Fleming.
In the US, an average of one person an hour dies waiting for an organ transplant because demand far exceeds supply, according to Fleming.
More than 120,000 people in the US are waiting for lifesaving transplants, and a new name is added to the list every 10 minutes, the nonprofit group said.
"With the updated Health app, we're providing education and awareness about organ donation and making it easier than ever to register," Apple chief operating officer Jeff Williams said in a joint release.
"It's a simple process that takes just a few seconds."
Health app on iPhone provides an overview of health and fitness data all in one place.
Apple's chief executive Tim Cook offered part of his liver for a transplant to Steve Jobs before the company co-founder died, but the offer was rejected, according to a Jobs biographer.
The Apple co-founder later did receive a liver transplant in 2009. He died in October 2011 at age 56 after a long battle with cancer.

2017 Senior Bowl Quarterbacks
January 20, 2017 Leave a comment2017 NFL Draft, ScoutingBy Mark Schofield
In a few days, the football world descends upon the Alabama gulf coast. While the seafood and nightlife that Mobile has to offer are wonderful, those who make the trip are looking to find the next gem in the upcoming NFL draft class. The quarterbacks heading to the Senior Bowl comprise an interesting group, and while it lacks the star power that a player like Deshaun Watson may have provided, there are a few signal callers here that can expect to hear their names called during the draft, perhaps as early as Day 2.
North Squad
C.J. Beathard – Iowa – 6'2" 215
Beathard is an experienced starter, with two seasons at the helm for the Iowa Hawkeyes. He led the team to a berth in the 2015 Big Ten Championship Game, but the Hawkeyes faltered a bit this season and suffered a blowout loss to Florida in the Citrus Bowl. Beathard is a generally accurate passer, both when throwing from the pocket and when on the move. His experience operating under center might lead some to believe that he is ready to work in a pro system, but it really only gives him a bit of an advantage when it comes to learning the footwork on drops from center. The concepts Beathard ran at Iowa are very similar to those run at other schools and by other quarterbacks in the draft. In addition, Beathard will have an advantage learning to read defense from under center, as the viewing angle from that position is much different, and more difficult, than when in the shotgun. Footwork is an area where Beathard is generally solid, although he does lapse at times. He has demonstrated the ability to work through progressions, but an area to watch is his processing speed and his tendency to pull the ball down and not risk throws or challenge throwing windows.
ITP Resources: C.J. Beathard and Patience, Placement and Leverage:
Sefo Liufau – Colorado – 6'3" 230
Liufau is one of the most experienced quarterbacks in this group, having started 39 games since setting foot on the campus in Boulder four years ago. He started seven games as a true freshman, becoming just the tenth QB in Colorado history to start as a freshman quarterback in school history. Liufau is a very tough and athletic quarterback, and he's not afraid to stay in the pocket in the face of pressure and adapt his arm angle or body to create enough space to deliver a throw. Heading into Senior Bowl week, look for some refined mechanics, as well as some more consistency in ball placement from Liufau. Additionally, Liufau needs to show he can work through the more complex progression reads that the professional game might put on his plate.
ITP Resources: Sefo Liufau Under Duress
Nate Peterman – Pittsburgh – 6'2" 225
After transferring from the University of Tennessee, Nate Peterman found a home in Pittsburgh. He started the last two seasons for the Panthers, and put up some solid numbers in the ACC. Peterman is an accurate passer, who seemingly has the arm strength to challenge most throwing windows that the NFL has to offer. There are also times when Peterman shows good anticipation as well as aggression, making some risky throws and showing a good understanding of both coverage schemes and route concepts. One question that I have at this point is whether Peterman can maintain that level of aggression on a consistent basis, because there are times on his tape when he seems to be almost too conservative with his decisions and placement of the football. Despite this, Peterman is one of the QBs I think has the best chance to make some noise down in Mobile.
ITP Resources: Nathan Peterman and Aggression
Josh Dobbs – Tennessee – 6'3" 210
The reason the aforementioned Peterman left Knoxville? Josh Dobbs. The Mechanical, Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering major started 35 games for the Volunteers while in school, including four starts as a freshman, making him only the eighth freshman in school history to start at that position. Dobbs is a very athletic quarterback, dangerous with both his arm and his legs. In addition, he has a pretty solid understanding of coverage schemes and route concepts, and has displayed the ability to work through progressions, make full-field reads and make some good decisions with the football. He has also shown the ability to throw routes on time within the flow of a play, as well as the ability to make anticipation throws. But there are times when his decision making is flawed, and these instances often pop up when he faces pressure. He'll be paired with Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson during the week, and that relationship might bear some fruit, as Dobbs could fit in well with Cleveland's passing concepts.

Antonio Pipkin – Tiffin University – 6'2" 208
Aside from Watson, no invitation to Mobile was met with more excitement than the announcement of the invitation to Pipkin. A standout for Division II Tiffin University, Pipkin took over as the starting quarterback for the Dragons very early in his freshman season and never looked back. On his tape, Pipkin looks every bit the part of a pro prospect. He shows good feel for the pocket, an understanding of blocking concepts as well as coverage and route schemes, and has the arm strength to win at the Division II level. Pipkin is also an athletic football player, who can make defenders miss both in the pocket and down the field. The biggest question mark facing him is whether his ability can translate to a higher level of competition. Will his processing ability adapt to the faster pace of play he'll see down in Mobile? In addition, while his arm looked more than sufficient against Division II competition, does he have the velocity to challenge the tighter throwing lanes he'll see in Mobile…and beyond? This is a great opportunity for Pipkin to answer these questions with a strong week of practices, setting him up for a rise up draft boards.
ITP Resources: Antonio Pipkin and Feel
Davis Webb – California – 6'3" 227
Webb is the type of quarterback that some teams could rate very highly if they utilize a vertical passing game. He was the starter at Texas Tech for a season before the Red Raiders turned the offense over to Pat Mahomes II, so the signal-caller headed west to finish his collegiate career at Cal. Webb operated in a Air Raid-based passing system at both schools, but was at his best when pushing the football down the field on vertical routes. Of all the quarterback in this class, whether headed to the Senior Bowl or not, Webb might throw the best go route of the bunch. But he'll need to address the other routes in the passing tree with some consistency, as well as shoring up his processing and decision-making, to truly make a splash down in Mobile.
ITP Resources: Davis Webb and Decision-Making
Two quarterbacks are traveling to Mobile after accepting invitations, but will not be participating due to injuries. For both players, the trip makes sense given that the concerns teams may harbor about them can be addressed in the meeting room or on the whiteboard.
Chad Kelly – Mississippi – 6'2" 224
A gunslinger at heart, Kelly led Mississippi to the Sugar Bowl as a junior, operating in a fast-paced spread offense. That junior year included a win over Alabama in the regular season, which propelled Mississippi close to the top of the polls for a short period of time. Kelly's senior year was marred by injury, as he suffered a right knee injury that ended his season, the second time he tore the ACL in that knee. He certainly has the arm strength to play at the next level, and as a QB in the gunslinger mold, there are few throwing windows he is afraid to challenge. Despite the offensive system, Kelly was tasked with making a number of decision both pre- and post-snap, and shows a good understanding of defensive alignment, coverage schemes and defensive leverage. His tendency to take risks on the field is an issue he'll have to address, but his off the field behavior might be his biggest hurdle. He was dismissed from Clemson, and this season he was caught on film storming the field during one of his brother's high school football games. Given his injury and off-the-field concerns, Kelly's best path to the NFL might run through both the meeting rooms in Mobile, as well as the medical examination rooms.

Seth Russell – Baylor – 6'3" 220
Russell in many ways fits the mold of a starting quarterback in the NFL. Over his two seasons at Baylor he displayed the arm strength, processing speed, athletic ability and deep accuracy that teams covet in a quarterback. But the Baylor product enters Senior Bowl week with some red flags. First on the medical side, his junior year was cut short with a broken bone in his neck. Russell recovered from that injury to be ready to start Week 1 of his senior year, but suffered a rough-looking ankle dislocation that ended his season and his collegiate career in November of 2016. The on-the-field concern stems from the offensive style of play. Baylor runs a very simplified spread attack, which doesn't require Russell to make a lot of progression reads in the style that we typically associate with the professional game. Their offense does require him to make decisions based on defensive coverages and Russell has the ability to work through RPO concepts, but whether he can translate that to a more conventional NFL offense is something he'll need to demonstrate at the white board while in Moblie.

After using my trusted raspberry pi for a little over 2 years, I was in need of an upgrade. In the beginning my goal was just to make a home firewall/server using PFsense, but then I added an extra requirement, it had to use as little energy as possible. My top priority was getting a system that used about the same electricity as my raspberry pi, or at least as close to equivalent watt per performance.
Freetomfr and others who are interested: we may see experimental ARM support for a small number of platforms before too long. Stay tuned.
Comment: Seems very nice, seems hard to come by in Europe.
Specs: AMD A4 Micro-6400T SoC which supports SSE (1, 2, 3, 3S, 4.1, 4.2, 4A), x86-64, AES, AVX and uses Single-Channel DDR3L-1333a blocks.
You could save some money and choose j1800 cpu instead and save some money!
I am running Pfsense with Openvpn [Server and client], Squid [Transparrent – Cache] and Snort [IDS/IPS] and i have never seen my cpu usage over 22% on my 20/20 connection.
Interesting with the J1800, been reading a bit about this CPU now, and seems like a good candidate. Properly gonna wait til next month before I make my final decision.
With a max TDP of 10 watt, it will be hard to keep the entire system below my requirement when idle, but if the bang offered here is better I might consider it more.
well the only downside is that the j1800 only supports Pcie-e x1 so i had to use a Pci-e x1 -> x16 riser to connect my intel pro dual nic, but it work flawless and without problem, the x1 has enough speed to max out the intel pro dual nic GB.
Martin if you can wait 2-3 month then i can sell you a cheap mb with an j1800 or j1900?
i think they are about little over a half year old.


Taking cue from the grim realities of delivery issues faced in India by Amazon, its top honchos have gone ahead to seek the extensive network of India Post for the same. There was a meeting on the same agenda between Amazon's Amit Agarwal, Monique Meche and Ravi Shankar Prasad, India's telecom and IT minister.
In fact, the immense success of China's Alibaba tie up with China Post to share processing centres, warehouses and delivery resources for ecommerce deliveries could be reinforcing this move. Currently, Amazon India is availing the India Post services for its deliveries to a limited extent.
The India Post comprises a robust network of 1.6 lakh post offices across India with 1.4 lakh of them alone in rural areas. By modernizing the India Post services with state of art real-time tracking and monitoring systems, Amazon wishes to deliver within 24 hours across the country.
The telecom minister has asked Amazon to submit a detailed proposal on the same.
The Indian government is also keen to give India Post a total makeover by making it an active participant in the finance and trading activities within the country along with modernizing its services. On the other side, the extent of financial investment made in ecommerce majors such as Snapdeal and Flipkart in India has certainly intensified the war between them to gain a firmer ground in the country.

Q: How to set group name when consuming messages in kafka using command line? Any idea how to set group name when consuming messages in kafka using command line.
I tried with the following command :
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic nil_RF2_P2 --from-beginning --config group.id=test1
'config' is not a recognized option

The goal is to find the offset of consumed messages with the following command:
bin/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.ConsumerOffsetChecker --zookeeper localhost:2181 --group test1

Can somebody help in this regards!!
Thanks in advance !!

A: The simplest solution is:

bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic nil_RF2_P2 --from-beginning --consumer-property group.id=test1

In case you specify the flag --from-beginning just remember that the consumer group should not have consumed any records in the past or else your consumer will start consuming from the earliest not consumed record by the specified group (and not from the actual beginning, as you may
incorrectly assume).

A: if you want change group id without lost offset of record you have get offset manually of current Group.id and set to new run consumer that have new id. if don't have any control to get offset in consumer instance you can run this command.
/bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --new-consumer --bootstrap-server <ip_address>:<Broker_port>  --group Group_name --describe

and then you can seek data from specific offset. pay attention you should call seek after call poll، Assign command not work.
also you can see my sample of code in github
Example here

A: You can use the --group option like this (tested with Kafka 2.0.0):
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --group test-consumer --topic test --from-beginning

A: Got the answer to change the groupname from command prompt!!
steps:

*

*create a new consumer.properties file, say consumer1.properties.

*change group.id=<Give a new group name> in the consumer1.properties.

*bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --new-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic topicname --from-beginning --consumer.config config/consumer1.properties --delete-consumer-offsets

A: If you are using bash then you can use its process substitution capability.
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 \
--topic nil_RF2_P2 --from-beginning \
--consumer.config <(echo group.id=test1)

Money doesn't guarantee success, insists Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson
Palace host Norwich on Saturday, who spent just spent £1.1million in transfer fees during the summer.
Published: 27 September 2019 - 9.30pm
By Press Association Published: 27 September 2019 - 9.30pm
Football Premier League Crystal Palace
Roy Hodgson believes Crystal Palace and Norwich are proof big-spending does not always guarantee results, although expects life to get tougher over the coming months.
When the Premier League transfer window shut on August 8, the Canaries had only spent £1.1million while the Eagles had splashed out £11million.
This is in contrast to Southampton, Brighton, Newcastle and Aston Villa, who all spent in excess of £50million this summer, but have fewer points than Palace while Norwich are above the latter two.
Hodgson feels there is value in sticking with the squad you have, especially if you have had success like Daniel Farke's team enjoyed last term when winning the Championship.
"We all know money doesn't guarantee you any success, it's just something that excites people towards the end of transfer window to see who has spent the most and who has won the transfer battle," Hodgson said, ahead of Saturday's fixture at Selhurst Park.
"You would be hopeful the money you are spending is on good players and good players will make you a better team, but there are no guarantees that will make you better than the team that hasn't spent much at all.
"There is another aspect to this too where when a team have a wonderful season like Norwich did in the Championship and they have good young players they are introducing into the team, sometimes keeping that team together you get the benefits of all the success."
He continued: "They know each other, they know exactly how each other plays and they have good players and all of those things can help you, certainly at the start of the season before sometimes the grind sets in.
"Of course that is when real judgement of teams has to be made – 14, 15 or 18 games into the season where the euphoria has passed long ago and it does become once again about the day-to-day work and day-to-day performances."
Palace will check on the fitness of Mamadou Sakho on the morning of the home game with Norwich, but should have James Tomkins in the squad again.
The former West Ham defender played an hour for the Under-23s against QPR on Monday and Hodgson is delighted to have him fit after he suffered a serious groin injury in April.
"We have been a bit cautious because it was a quite serious muscle injury that he had and we wanted to get that game out of the way so at least he feels he has played some competitive football," he said.
"He is fully fit and the only thing he lacks is match practise as did Mamadou Sakho when I had to throw him in the deep end at Tottenham."
Christian Benteke is also expected to feature against Norwich and trained normally the day before the game, with the forward not required to be present at Lavender Hill Magistrates' Court where his case for two speeding charges was adjourned until November.
At the start of July he pleaded guilty to the two offences, which took place in January and March.
"There are no excuses for it," Hodgson admitted. "If it happens you can't justify it in any way and you have to hold your hands up and plead guilty to the charge I guess and hope it is not going to be too draconian in the measures they take against you."

Enhancing Restorative Justice Practices Through Culturally Responsive Teaching and Community Engagement
By Kathryn Picano Morton, EdS, NCSP	• February 21, 2019
As educators, we have a professional and ethical responsibility to provide students with safe, equitable, and inclusive academic experiences. Traditional discipline procedures, such as zero-tolerance policies, school suspensions, and punishment-reward practices are often ineffective in correcting misbehaviors and disproportionately impact students of color. For these reasons, the paradigm is shifting from zero-tolerance policies in schools… Read More

MN Power customers concerned about proposed gas plant, rates
Tags: Minnesota Power, rates
Last fall, Minnesota Power announced their proposal to build a new $350 million natural gas plant in Superior Wisconsin. This power plant would add 250 MW of additional electricity generation capacity for Minnesota Power.
At CUB, our mission is to advocate for affordable and reliable utility service and clean energy for residential and small business consumers across Minnesota. This means that when a utility announces plans to build a new power plant, CUB wants to ensure the utility is using their ratepayer funds that pay for these facilities reasonably.
In this case, analysis by experts testifying for the Clean Energy Organizations — a coalition of Fresh Energy, Sierra Club, Wind on the Wires, and Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy — and the Large Power Intervenors – industrial electricity users, such as Enbridge and mining companies – has shown that the plant shouldn't be approved. Minnesota Power has not demonstrated a need for the electricity that the proposed plant would provide and, even if it is needed, hasn't shown that there aren't less expensive ways of getting that electricity. In many cases, energy efficiency or renewable energy can meet additional resource needs for utilities in a much more cost-effective way.
CUB has been tracking this issue very closely and has been informing Minnesota Power customers about how the plant could impact them, opportunities for public engagement, and what expert analysis has said about this proposal.
CUB also conducted a poll of Minnesota Power customers to gauge public opinions about the proposed power plant. Of a random sample of 552 customers, 77 percent said they were not inclined to support building the plant. A full 92 percent said they want Minnesota Power to do a full analysis of all energy options, which the company has not yet provided.
The poll also showed that Minnesota Power customers are sensitive to rate increases. Minnesota Power's two proposed residential rate increase requests in 2016 would have increased the average bill by $225 per year for the average Duluth resident. Nearly two thirds of the customers polled said that these increases would have a detrimental impact on their finances.
A $350 million power plant in which costs are paid for by increased rates would put a strain on customers budgets. The results of the poll underlines the need to take caution not to approve new investments unless they have been demonstrated to be necessary. The complete poll results can be found below.
*Note, the two rate hikes proposed by Minnesota Power in 2016 did not result in the full increase as originally requested by the company.
**Polling results were submitted to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission. All testimony on this issue can be found in Docket #17-568.
Who is your electricity provider?
Minnesota Power 100%
Are you aware that Minnesota Power has requested two rate hikes in the last year and half, and that these hikes could raise average residential customers' electric bills by 27%, or an average of $225 per year?
Aware 50%
Unaware 50%
Are you familiar with a proposal from Minnesota Power to build a new power plant?
Familiar 26%
Unfamiliar 74%
Are you aware that Minnesota Power has estimated this power plant would cost $350 million and would be paid for by its customers?
Utility customers pay for new power plants, if this new plant is built, the electricity you use could cost you significantly more each year. Are you inclined to support building a $350 million power plant?
Yes 23%
No 77%
It might be possible to meet electricity demands by using existing power plants or cleaner energy, like wind and solar, which could end up being cheaper for customers. Do you want Minnesota Power to make sure that a new power plant is the least expensive option before a new plant is built?
I want Minnesota Power to do a full analysis of all energy options 92%
I do not want Minnesota Power to do a full analysis 8%
As I said earlier, Minnesota Power has already pushed to increase residential electricity bills by 27%, or about $225 a year for the average household. This does not include the cost of a new power plant. If your electricity bill went up by $225 per year, would it have a financial effect on your family?
A $225-per-year increase in electric bills would make no difference 38%
I would have to make cutbacks in other areas 50%
It would be almost impossible to pay 12%
Minnesota Power offers rebates to its customers to make it cheaper for people and businesses to purchase energy efficient light bulbs and appliances. Did you know about these energy-saving rebates?
I have gotten a Minnesota Power rebate in the past 35%
I haven't gotten a rebate, but I'm aware of them 42%
I did not know about these rebates 23%

Brought to you by the Canadian Mental Health Association, Self Help & Peer Support, this toolkit is designed to address an often-forgotten aspect of peer work: effective supervision. This toolkit is aimed at helping people who are supervising and implementing peer roles to better understand peer support and its unique value proposition for mental health and addiction agencies so that they can support peer workers in unlocking the potential of this nascent profession in our communities.
Supervising Peer Staff Roles: Literature Review by Keely Phillips.
All three documents can be found here. Most of the supervision needs of peer workers are not unique to the practice of peer support, but are common needs across direct service work in the mental health and addiction system. For that reason, this toolkit focuses on providing resources that will help supervisors to address some of the unique issues for peer workers.

Jon Mycio, a student from London, Ontario, Canada is mobilising his friends to care for the poor in Africa. While Jon was serving with Hands at Work in 2011 he sowed in to communities in South Africa and Zambia and the experiences he had sowed something deep in him too.
Now his university Bible Study has committed to sacrificing student luxuries so that children in Malawi can have a better life.
On a hot day in September, a group of Church Unlimited cyclists took the community of Mpakeni in northeastern South Africa by storm. Church Unlimited has been partnering with a group of Mpakeni care workers called Siphamandla Home-Based Care over the last year. The Nelspruit-based church is one of Hands at Work's key partners in South Africa. Watch the video below to find out what the event was all about!
My-News.tv Mpakeni from Mario Kolbé on Vimeo.
Kristal Hoff is a high school teacher from Lloydminster, Alberta, Canada and has been involved with Hands at Work for the last three years. Her work in Malawi had inspired her to, upon her return to Canada, fight not only for the material liberty of school children in Malawi, but also for the spiritual freedom of high schoolers in Canada.
Some classes are held under a tree at this Malawi community school, a far cry from the school in LloydminsterIt all started when my feet were getting itchy. I had been in Africa for just over a year and a half [volunteering with Hands at Work] and then came home to teach at the high school [in Canada] I had attended: Lloydminster Comprehensive High School. My heart was still pumping hard for Africa and I just couldn't quiet myself about it. It's like that scripture where Jesus says if the people didn't speak, the rocks would cry out. I started just dreaming with a few teachers about the possibility of a partnership between the Lloydminster school and the Malawi community school. I dreamed up how it could work out: For the school to sponsor a group of 50 kids they would need to raise CA$9000 a year, which worked out to less than CA$1 per person per month. How easy! I had a few core teachers excited and then got the administration [of the school] on board.
Kissing camelsLloydminster is a very busy city with lots of big paychecks and lots of big dirty trucks. The dream was to see these kids see beyond the bubble of fast oil money in Lloydminster and begin to understand a bigger purpose for themselves. When I was teaching, I found that many kids have no appreciation for school anymore because they can easily quit and get a job on the oil rigs. I also found that many of the students I was teaching came from families that made it big in the oil boom and as a result never had to face suffering. It was interesting because when I thought of this relationship, I was more passionate about the transformation of the school and the student body in Canada than I was about the school in Malawi. It would be easy to find money for another source to help take care of the kids in Malawi, but I felt so strongly that it had to be these Lloyd kids.
"Nigeria and the people in Ilaje who lost their homes recently are heavy on my heart. I can't stop thinking about them," Hands at Work volunteer, Kristal Hoff, recently wrote.
In a 2006 report, the World Bank identified nine Lagos slums requiring an urgent response. Hands at Work is active in three of these slums, including Ilaje which is notorious being perched on the edge of an ocean bay and extending out over the water with homes built on stilts.
Read Kristal's thoughts on the recent developments in Ilaje below.
In 2009 I had the opportunity to visit Nigeria, specifically a community called Ilaje in Lagos. I blogged about it here. Ilaje was fascinating because half of the people lived on the land and half lived on the water in these wooden shacks on stilts.
I recently discovered that the government demolished all the homes that were on the water, leaving many families homeless and hopeless. Some have secured shelters on land but many have left looking for shelter elsewhere.
As the northern summer is now in full swing, so is our busy season of teams and visitors. This week we're featuring the Forge, a church partner from UK who is serving with Hands at Work in Zambia right now. Read about their experience here and follow them as they blog and tweet.

What an amazing year 2010 was for Hands at Work Canada! God has continued to open doors and to bring more people into the Hands at Work family, people like Nathan Chong.
Nathan is a little boy with a big heart to give. For his seventh birthday, Nathan had decided that he would ask guests at his birthday party to make a donation to Hands at Work in lieu of birthday gifts. He raised a total of 300CAD!
When Hands at Work founder, George Snyman, visited Toronto in December 2010, Hands at Work Canada arranged for him to speak at Nathan's school and the response was amazing. After George's visit, children sent letters to George and a quilt was raffled off with all proceeds going to Hands at Work. A simple, yet profound, act of giving from one child has planted seeds that will bear fruit in many children, both in Canada and in Africa.
We thank you for coming to our school to talk to us about Hands at Work in Africa. We understand that those people in Africa have scarce supplies, indeed. We understand also why we donate to Hands at Work and we hope to be able to donate more in the future.

In honor of WORLD AIDS DAY and in memory of all mothers and fathers who have passed away due to HIV/AIDS and the millions of children left behind, we are asking you to change your profile picture on facebook. In particular today we think of Dumiso (14) and Ayanda (13) in Swaziland.
Raise awareness once more that many are still suffering from the affects of HIV/AIDS but hope and healing can come through the work of our hands and the prayers of our hearts today.

ELAN15, News
ELAN 15: 2004-2005
This year, we're celebrating ELAN's 15th Anniversary, which we're marking at our Annual General Meeting on August 26, 2019! In this series, we'll be sharing a bit of our history, and featuring some of our long-standing collaborators, team members, partners, and community members who have helped shape ELAN into who we are today.
Writers' focus group.
In 2000, the Department of Canadian Heritage (PCH) advised the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) that they were negotiating a matching grant agreement with Canada Council to increase support for minority language communities. PCH asked QCGN if English-speaking artists would be interested in negotiating a similar agreement.
In May 2001, several dozen representatives of the English-speaking artistic community were invited to a meeting at the McCord Museum. The problem for English-speakers in Quebec is not language retention but population retention. During the preceding three decades, hundreds of thousands of English-speakers chose to move away from Quebec in a steady exodus that left the community enfeebled, fragmented and vulnerable. The challenge in Quebec was to build a sustainable community so that artists and cultural workers could stay in Quebec rather than leave. A consensus was reached that, in some areas at least, English-speaking artists are a minority in need of assistance.
Visual Arts focus group.
TV and film focus group.
Quebec Arts Summit trio.
Funders from Canada Council for the Arts and the Department of Canadian Heritage.
In October 2001, a draft agreement (Memorandum of Understanding) for an initial three years of support was signed by PCH and Canada Council. The resulting IPOLC program distributed a considerable amount of extra money to English-speaking artists via regular Canada Council programs. Six volunteers were appointed to a committee to negotiate with Canadian Heritage and Canada Council. During their regular meetings, the idea of an English-Language Arts Network began to emerge.
Between November 25-27, 2004, Quebec Arts Summit launched a process of creating a multi-disciplinary network for Quebec's English-speaking artists. QAS assembled more than 200 artists, government officials and community partners. It was the first time that representatives of the entire English-speaking arts community had been brought together. They concluded that the creation of an English-Language Arts Network could help create conditions to empower English-speaking artists to live and work in Quebec.
ELAN incorporated in April 2005, received funding from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Department of Canadian Heritage, and created a small website. Our offices were located in the Atwater Library with the Quebec Writers' Federation.
