Why should you raise sponsorship?
Rennie Grove Hospice Care is a registered charity offering services to support local patients diagnosed with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses. By offering a 24-hour responsive hospice at home service in combination with other services such as day hospice and family support, we allow our patients to choose how and where they want to be cared for towards the end of life.
Thanks to the help of people like you, we were able to support thousands of local families in Herts and Bucks every year at no cost to them, and the number of people needing our support is predicted to rise in the coming years.
It is vital that we put on events such as the HERTS 10K to help raise the annual £7.9 million needed to keep the service in operation and help us to meet the growing demand.
The HERTS 10K is to raise money for Rennie Grove Hospice Care only. As a charity we invest significant amounts of time and resources into the organisation of the HERTS 10K. It is for this reason that we cannot allow the event to be used to fundraise for other charities.
How can I raise sponsorship?
Personalise your page by including a photo of yourself and a short bio explaining why you've decided to take part in the Herts 10K.
Ask your closest friends and family to sponsor you first as an empty page may put some people off. Also, by targeting your most generous supporters first it sets a standard for others to follow.
Send out an email to all of your contacts with information and a link to your page.
Post the link on social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter.
Include the link in your email signature at work.
If appropriate, ask your employer if you can send round the link to your colleagues and even to external work contacts.
Ensure sponsors read the gift aid statement and tick the box if they are eligible to do so.
Download the Herts 10K sponsorship form 2019 . You can pass the form to your work colleagues, pin it on the staff notice board, or take it to the playground.
Ask your family members to pledge money first on your sponsorship form, if they are generous this might set a standard for people to follow!
Encourage your employer or any local companies you have links with to sponsor you. It's also a good idea to ask your employer if they have a match giving scheme you could use.
Start raising sponsorship money early, take your sponsorship form everywhere you go! Extra forms are available to download if needed.
Keep people who have sponsored you informed of your progress and how much you have raised.
Try and collect your money straight away in order to save time after the event.
When you have collected your sponsorship money please send a cheque made out to 'Rennie Grove Hospice Care' to Rennie House, Unit 3, Icknield Way Industrial Estate, Tring, HP23 4JX.

The size of your company is somewhat irrelevant because with time comes business and what will you do with the extra papers that you collect?

It organizes all of your contacts and company information to access the information when you need it.
It is one tool that your company will not regret. As your business develops, you will be able to stay organized and efficient to keep those sales coming. Contact us today to schedule your demo!

When you are posting on social media as the voice of a company for the first time, its recommended that you do some research and follow a few key steps before jumping right in. It takes a little bit of thought to decide what you want your company's tone to be like. After all, the internet is where the majority of people are connecting with companies these days.
Design and keep a personality tone. No matter how many people handle the company's social media, it must be constant with each post, comment, etc. You are identifying the company as one. This can be tricky if you have a few people managing the platform, so it should be discussed.
Post at appropriate times. If you are posting great updates at times when your customers or target audience isn't online, chances are they won't see that post. Doing a little bit of research can help identify when the most ideal time is for you to get the maximum reach. Typically this is before the work day starts- early in the morning, or right after work hours. Sometimes the peak hours can even be later on at night or on the weekends.
Connect with those that share your passion. It is so much easier to grow your social presence when you have others who share the same interest. You can share knowledge and learn for both yourself and your audience. Having a core group online also makes it more fun to connect and socialize.
Utilize many platforms. Just because Facebook worked wonders for one company, doesn't mean that it will for you. Choosing a few social media platforms will help because you can do a little bit of testing to decide which outlet gets more attention. This doesn't mean that you should join every social media network that is available, but to have a few.

Pinterest caught on fast for the consumer, and it's perfect for marketing your lifestyle brand! Customers are able to see photos of clothes, food, landscapes, art, etc. and be inspired. It encourages personality expression by posting photos and creating boards that are designed by the things you like. Here are a few tips, so your company can manage Pinterest the right way.
1. Be creative. Creating a post that catches the user's eye is what will bring attention. Using unique fonts and interesting graphics to get your point across can be powerful and is sure to intrigue the customer.
2. Show personality. When the customer feels like they know your brand and their values, they will feel more inclined to give you business. Show appropriate humor to humanize your brand.
3. Use vivid color. When the post is eye-catching, the customer won't be able to miss the post. Use colors that are pleasing to the eye, and not overly cluttered. Bright colors with contrast are popular to use.
4. Use Infographics. If your brand is complex, use infographics to get your point across. It is an easy way to condense information to make it readable and user-friendly. Infographics that are visually appealing tend to get shared more.

Social media has become very popular in recent years. Companies are now utilizing it to reach out to their customers and build relationships with them. Although it might sound easy, there are some rules to follow for optimal engagement.
Plan: Create a plan, and follow it. You can use social media without a plan, but the results will be minimal, at most. Create a schedule that works for you and your company. Set a specific time throughout your day to spend a few minutes on posting/responding to customers. Once you have a pattern down, it will become easier to follow.
Set Goals: Set quarterly, monthly, weekly and even daily goals for your page. This will help with measuring how effective your strategy is with where you want to be.
Patience: Social media is like a slow growing snowball. It takes awhile to gain quality followers/engagement at first, but once you do, it will all pay off. It will be difficult for a smaller business to gain hundreds of followers overnight. Keep in mind that it can be more important to have a few quality followers compared to many of little value.
Offer Deals: Offering deals keeps the followers wanting to come back to your page. It also makes the follower feel valued and special if they are only getting a deal because they liked your page.
Friendly Voice: Create a company personality for your page, so your follower knows that there is a face behind the computer. Adding character will increase the levels of engagement and make your page more lively.

You have a great product or service, but what good is that if no one knows about it? Social media is a hot marketing tool to share with your company with people. With easy ways to share, pin and repost, it would be silly not to hop on board! Get your name and product out there before your competitor beats you to it. There are a few key ways to make sure that you don't just post content, but so you make the most of your content to keep your audience coming back for more.
Watch for trends: How well your company does is influenced by how well your competitor is doing. Follow the trends of their social media sites. What content do they post? How active are they? Try something new. Combine what works for them and what works for you to find the perfect balance.
Inspire your customer: Create posts, tips and advice, so your customer wants to keep coming back for more. Focus on topics that they love and are interested in that also relate to your company. If they are constantly learning something from you, they will return. If they found your content interesting, it is more likely that they will share it on their social media sites, which gets your name out there.
Engage their emotions: When people can relate to your information on some level, they will be intrigued to learn more. This can be achieved by telling a story, making them feel special, or deepening a social connection. People are more attracted to positive emotional responses than negative because they finish reading the content and feel good afterwards.
Have a good header: These different approaches all intrigue the level of curiosity, interest, humor or admiration. When you use a header that makes the reader question themselves, it grabs their attention and makes them want to read. Sharing information with them that others in society might not know about makes them feel smarter, and boosts their self-esteem.

While content marketing is known to improve results on search engine ranking systems, it is also true that effective, high quality content marketing is more of a marketing art than a strategy. If you have not worked to implement content marketing for your business site yet, read further to determine why it is a great idea to start now.
Content marketing helps you solve any issues that your customers may have, which in turn solves your issues as well. Make sure to create content that is relevant to your customer audience and the services your business provides. This allows an easy platform for your customers to look through instead of working hard to find what they are looking for buried in your site. The best way to do this includes creating a blog post or an article posting on your website, while also sending out an email blast to your customers who are experiencing the particular problem at hand. By addressing your customers' problems through content and sending it out, you are cutting down on customer service time by giving them their answers online.
High quality content writing that includes a great deal of value to your reader will get shared and spread throughout the web. This works to create a credibility and sense of authority attached to your business. Also make sure to have one author publishing content that is created under your content marketing strategy. It does not matter who this individual is, as long as it is consistently them posting. This use of content marketing will allow you to become more established and lead to greater leads and give you additional exposure in Google through Google+.
Consistently creating content for marketing will also strengthen relationships with your customers. This is also important for repeat and loyal customers, as updating your stream with helpful and rich content will keep your readers interested. This can not only include blog post, but video, images, apps, and more. Also work to get your customers involved and create content for you. Having guest authors is a great, creative way to keep your feed interesting. While content marketing is a great way to improve your SEO and drive traffic to your site, old and new customers will benefit from your successful content marketing campaign.

Looking back over the years, you can see what design trends stuck and what didn't. They key here is the difference between a trend and a fad. A fad is hot, but only lasts for a short time, while a trend usually lasts for a few years. There are some new trends for the year 2014 to keep a lookout for to keep you customer as engaged as possible. Afterall, your website is your showroom. You want it to not only display the correct information, but to look appealing to the eye, too.
Simplicity – Your site needs to be easy to navigate and use. Avoid unnecessary information to get the message across with less clutter. You must tell a message, not just have it look pretty if its not workable.
Video– The best way to get the user engaged is to use animations or tell a story through a video. Videos are easy to share online and keep the user highly engaged. You can see the engagement statistics through online tools that measure the effectiveness. Having videos in place of text make it easier on the reader and get the information across in a faster manner.
Long scrolling sites– An easier format to display content is to make a long scrolling website. Also have format changes, so the user doesn't realize how far they have been scrolling, and keeps them reading more.

Your website might have high rankings in SEO, but would it rank high in the social category? Websites that come across more friendly and engaging are far more likely to attract more users and keep current customers interested. Here are three ways you can increase your social standings, today!
Creating content that your customers will find helpful and useful is important. Your users care about how helpful your website and content is; it can increase the level of trust they have with you. Make titles enticing, use infographics and videos often since they are generally shared more. They are quick, easy to read and visually more appealing than content.
It isn't uncommon for companies to not ask customers or visitors what they wanted to see next in terms of products or improvements. Having a poll is a great way to get helpful feedback that will help both you and the customer in the end. In the end, this will increase customer retention and future feedback.
Seek and encourage feedback- by choosing "emotionally intelligent words" to represent the personality of the brand. This makes it more of a personal experience for the user, which makes them feel more comfortable about leaving a comment on your site. Switch up your approach to see what works best for your company and see which leads to boost social activity.

Today's devotion comes from Isaiah chapter 17.
And will become a fallen ruin.
And there will be no one to frighten them.
And the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
In the valley of Rephaim.
Declares the Lord, the God of Israel.
And his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel.
Even the Asherim and incense stands.
And the land will be a desolation.
And have not remembered the rock of your refuge.
And set them with vine slips of a strange god.
In a day of sickliness and incurable pain.
Who rush on like the rumbling of mighty waters!
Or like whirling dust before a gale.
14 At evening time, behold, there is terror!
Before morning they are no more.
Such will be the portion of those who plunder us." Isaiah chapter 17.
Today's Scripture moves back and forth between the prophecy of destruction of Damascus to the prophecy of punishment of Israel.
Even the Asherim and incense stands." Verses 6-8.
Israel's hope, and our hope, is not based in ourselves.
And set them with vine slips of a strange god." Verse 10.
We forget the God of our salvation. We make spiritual idols in our hearts (if not earthly idols made of stone). We chase after other gods.
We prefer the god of our alleged free-will which we can manipulate rather than the Sovereign God of Scripture Who dictates the terms of His salvation. "For He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. … So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires." Romans 9:15-18.
Scripture is summarized by Reformed Doctrine in "TULIP". Man's natural condition is "Total Depravity", the "T" of "TULIP". We are dead in sin and hostile to God. We do not understand. We do not seek God. We do not do good.
Our only hope is that God will unconditionally elect us to salvation and do everything that is needed for our salvation from beginning to end: from the beginning of "Unconditional Election" through "Limited Atonement" through "Irresistible Grace" to the end of "Preservation of the Saints", the "U", "L", "I", and "P" of "TULIP, the Five Points of Calvinism, the Reformed Doctrine of Salvation.

Second Quarter Review, 2001
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, July 5, 2001
Bradford Cooke, President and CEO of Canarc Resource Corp. is pleased to provide this review of the Second Quarter and plans for the Third Quarter.
Over the past three months, Canarc slashed its operating costs to a minimum level sustainable under current market conditions, and closed a private placement with major shareholders to provide Canarc with working capital.
The Company welcomed two new Directors to the Board and thanked two retiring Directors for their years of service. Canarc dropped all of the silver properties in Mexico held by its 65% owned subsidiary after our joint venture partner relinquished their interest but the Company also acquired a new, prospective, gold-silver property in Mexico.
Last but not least, management continues to work with the government of Suriname in order to receive the mineral title owed to us on the Benzdorp property. The Sara Kreek placer mine continues to operate near a break-even basis.
· Canarc laid off its geological and support staff, incurring a one-time severance cost but significantly reducing its ongoing operating costs. Technical personnel remain available on a consulting basis.
· The Company closed a CA$450,000 private placement financing to pay off current accounts and provide working capital into 2002. Exercise of the warrants will provide Canarc with up to $600,000 in additional proceeds.
· Mr. Leonard Harris is a metallurgical engineer who held senior management positions with Newmont and directed the development of Newmont's huge Yanacocha gold mine in Peru. Leonard is currently an active Director of Glamis Gold, Corriente Resources, and several other companies.
· Mr. Stephen Peck is an economist who co-founded the investment firm of Weiss, Peck and Greer and acted as Vice Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange in the early 1970's. Stephen is currently an active Director of several companies and acts as Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Mount Sinai Hospital/School of Medicine and Mount Sinai/NYU Health.
Silver Properties
· All of the silver properties in Mexico held by Canarc subsidiary, Minera Aztec Silver, were returned to the government after joint venture partner, Far West Mining, relinquished their interest. Although some silver mineralization was intersected in drilling, and several attractive targets remained to be drilled, the depth of overburden, low silver price and high holding costs made it impractical to continue with the project.
· Minera Aztec acquired an attractive, new, high sulfidation, gold-silver prospect in Jalisco, Mexico called the Clara property. Clara is a large, intensively altered, high sulfidation, gold-silver prospect with rock chip assays up to 25 gpt gold and 148 gpt silver that is essentially ready to drill. Canarc is seeking a senior partner to joint venture the drilling and development of this property.
The Company's focus in the third quarter will be on moving the Benzdorp and Clara projects forward. With the recent activity in the price of gold and gold stocks, it would appear that now is the time to prepare for a better gold market.

Giuseppe "Pino" Taglialatela (born 2 January 1969) is an Italian former professional football coach and goalkeeper. He is currently club chairman of Lega Pro club Ischia.
After developing in the Ischia Isolaverde Youth Sector, Tagliatela transferred to the Napoli Youth Sector, and was promoted to the first team during the 1987–88 season, as the club's third-choice keeper, behind Claudio Garella and Raffaele Di Rusco, failing to make an appearance with the club. Taglialatela began his professional playing career while on loan with Palermo during the 1988–89 season, while they were in Serie C1; after appearing with Avellino in Serie B the following season, he began to gain attention from Serie A clubs.
Taglialatela moved to his native club Napoli in 1990 during their peak, but played in only three games, making his Serie A debut on 6 January 1991, in a 1–0 away defeat to Juventus. After three loan spells at Serie B sides Palermo, Ternana, and Bari, he returned to Napoli, following Giovanni Galli's transfer to Torino, playing with the club from 1993 until 1999. On this occasion, he was finally able to break into the first team, and became the club's number one keeper for several years, as well as the club's captain in 1999, also attracting attention from larger clubs, including Inter, although he elected to remain with Napoli, despite the club's financial crisis. During his third stint with Napoli, he narrowly missed out on the Coppa Italia during the 1996–97 season, as Napoli lost the final to Vicenza. His later seasons with the club were less successful, as Napoli suffered Serie B relegation during the 1997–98 season, conceding numerous goals.
After leaving Napoli, Taglialatela moved to Fiorentina for 5 billion lire in a co-ownership deal (€2.582 million), where he played as understudy to Francesco Toldo, and later Alexander Manninger. The club also signed Fabio Rossitto for 15 billion lire from Napoli, as well as selling Emiliano Bigica to Napoli.
During his first season with the club, Taglialatela made his UEFA Champions League debut in a 2–0 away defeat to Valencia. In June 2000, Fiorentina signed Taglialatela outright; Bigica also joined Napoli outright.
Taglialatela won the Coppa Italia during his second season with Fiorentina; his third season in Florence was once again less successful, as Fiorentina were relegated to Serie B.
He subsequently moved to Siena for a season in 2002. After a year-long hiatus, he signed with Serie C1 side Benevento, before ending his career after a season with Avellino, retiring in 2006.
Due to his consistent performances, reactions, athleticism, and agility, Taglialatela earned the nicknames "pipistrello" (bat), and "Batman"; he was also known to be a specialist at saving penalty kicks; throughout his career he saved 11 penalties from 28 attempts, and has the highest save percentage from spot kicks in Serie A history (42.9%).
From February to May 2012 he worked as goalkeepers' coach for hometown club Ischia.

While smiling depression is not a technical term that psychologists use, it is certainly possible to be depressed and manage to successfully mask the symptoms. The closest technical term for this condition is "atypical depression". In fact, a significant proportion of people who experience a low mood and a loss of pleasure in activities manage to hide their condition in this way. And these people might be particularly vulnerableto suicide.

River of Light is back for 2022!
One of Liverpool's most popular events is back next month to light up the city centre.
River of Light is set to illuminate the waterfront across 17 nights from Friday 21 October to Sunday 6 November, and will showcase ten artworks from a host of local, national and international artists along a 2km route.
The installations will include a mix of brand new, never-before-seen commissions as well as existing artworks which haven't been on display in the city before.
The theme of this year's FREE event is Unexpected Twist in a nod to the World Gymnastics Championships 2022 which is taking place in the city during the same period.
Full details of all ten pieces, the artists and their locations will be unveiled next month, but to whet people's appetite the team behind the trail has announced the first two pieces:
BEAM – A brand new commission by the acclaimed Lucid Creates (artists Helen Swan and Chris Carr) will see a beam of light transport visitors to a hot, summer's day, accompanied by the sounds of the British countryside. But after several minutes the feeling of peace and warmth will change to unease and suspense… Located at Canning Graving Dock, opposite Museum of Liverpool, the artist behind the work are no strangers to River of Light and have previously showcased large-scale artworks including 2021's incredibly popular Dance Together – a huge tribute to the legendary nightclub Chibuku.
Evanescent – A series of giant bubbles will take over Exchange Flags courtesy of Australian artist Atelier Sisu. The immersive sound and light structure will react to visitors as they explore the artwork, depicting the transient nature of human existence. It has already been showcased in locations including Taiwan, the USA, Greece and Australia.
November 2021's River of Light event was hailed as the most successful to date, with around 150,000 visitors enjoying the festival. City centre restaurants and shops saw an increase in demand and at the time, Liverpool BID Company recorded its highest footfall rates since the start of the pandemic, with 1.5 million people visiting the retail area during the October half term 2021. Liverpool ONE also benefitted, with 15 per cent more diners at its restaurants, compared to the same period in 2019. And there was also a retail boost with a 44 per cent increase in sales – particularly in shops that sold toys, games and athletics/leisure wear.
River of Light will be delivered by Liverpool City Council's Culture Liverpool team and is supported by Arts Council England.

For more information and to book tickets for the World Gymnastics Championships 2022 (29 October – 6 November) visit: https://www.2022worldgymnastics.com/
Liverpool City Council's Cabinet Member for Culture and Visitor Economy, Councillor Harry Doyle, said:
"River of Light is officially an autumn staple and we're delighted to announce the trail is back this year in all its illuminated glory.
"This is our fifth year of staging this popular outdoor art gallery, but each year it has evolved – locations have been tweaked, different installations have been introduced and each time we work with new artists from all over the world who are aware of the event's high-calibre reputation and want to be part of it which is a huge coup.
"And this year's trail comes at an incredibly busy and exciting time for the city – the World Gymnastics Championships 2022 will be taking over the M&S Arena and will act as the inspiration for this year's River of Light instalment. And the eyes of the art world will already be on the city as Tate Liverpool plays host to The Turner Prize.
"Clearly Liverpool is the place to be this autumn."
Artist Helen Swan, from Lucid Creates said:
"The experiences we design are always formed through collaboration between the place and its people, the soundscape and its composers, and the structure and its visuals.
"Every time we bring one of our projects to River of Light, Liverpool and its people unite with us in creating spectacular experiences that are entirely unique in energy and style.
"BEAM is our latest experience, commissioned by Culture Liverpool especially for River of Light 2022 and its theme is Balance. All of Earth's energy is fuelled from the sun, our relationship with, and dependency on the sun hangs in a delicate balance. BEAM invites us to consider this balance by taking audiences on a journey of flux through joy, tension and release."
Liz Stewart, Head of Museum of Liverpool (interim) said:
"The River of Light brings the city together, in a really special way. The installations are spectacular, and the backdrop of our beautiful city makes for an unforgettable experience.
We're really excited to have an installation by Lucid Creates on our doorstep, and look forward to seeing how they animate the Canning Graving Dock once again."

Home › Great Expectations by Dickens, C
Great Expectations by Dickens, C
Publisher: Penguin 2002
Charles Dickens's Great Expectations charts the course of orphan Pip Pirrip's life as it is transformed by a vast, mysterious inheritance. A terrifying encounter with the escaped convict Abel Magwitch in a graveyard on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet the bitter, decrepit Miss Havisham and her beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella at Satis House; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor – these form a series of events that change the orphaned Pip's life forever, and he eagerly abandons his humble station as an apprentice to blacksmith Joe Gargery, beginning a new life as a gentleman. Charles Dickens's haunting late novel depicts Pip's education and development through adversity as he discovers the true nature of his identity, and his 'great expectations'. This definitive version uses the text from the first published edition of 1861. It includes a map of Kent in the early nineteenth century, and appendices on Dickens's original ending and his working notes, giving readers an illuminating glimpse into the mind of a great novelist at work.

Top 10: Best South Asian American Children's Books (ages 2-14)
Posted on July 28, 2011 July 13, 2019 by Pragmatic Mom
I don't know a lot about Southeast Asian American children's literature so this was fun list to research and it was fun to hunt down books I had heard about but haven't read in a while as well as discover a few really great authors that are new to me. I asked a Mom Friend at a birthday party — we were both waiting in the car for 2+ hours while our kids jumped on gigantic trampolines — since she's East Asian what East Asian KidLit was in her bookshelves. She said there wasn't a lot available and it's true. These books are fantastic but under the radar. It turns out that she's an expert on immigration particularly refugee immigration to the United States. I only knew her as my child's friend's mother/room parent for 3rd grade.
If you know of any books that you or your children have enjoyed, please leave me a comment and I'll keep adding. I know I am heavy on just a few authors for this list, so it would be great to expand it. It's just that my library didn't have all the books I was seeking that day and I'm too lazy to reserve. These days with money so tight, when you reserve a book you need to do it online at the library site that frustratingly slow. In addition to that, you'll get a notice that your book is in, but with new cutbacks, you have to go pull the book from the shelves yourself. I tried to get the books through my new color nook but these books aren't popular enough to warrant ebooks yet. I hope that changes! The sign of the times, right? Caught between old world inefficiencies but not in the new world of downloadable books.
p.s. Thank you to reader Navjot for giving these links to other great lists of Southeast Asian KidLit and one for Southeast Asian YA (Young Adult).
p.p.s. Author Darshana Khiani has the best and most complete list of South Asian Children's and YA book lists that she makes at least twice annually!
Best Indian-American Books for Kids
10. The Grand Plan to Fix Everything by Uma Krishnaswami
Eleven-year-old Dini loves movies—watching them, reading about them, trying to write her own—especially Bollywood movies. But when her mother tells her some big news, it does not at all jive with the script of her life she has in mind. Her family is moving to India…and, not even to Bombay, which is the center of the Bollywood universe and home to Dini's all-time most favorite star, Dolly. No, Dini is moving to a teeny, tiny village she can't even find on a map. Swapnagiri. It means Dream Mountain and it only looks like a word that's hard to pronounce. But to that open-minded person who sounds the name out, one letter at a time, it falls quite handily into place: S-w-a-p-n-a-g-i-r-i. An honest sort of name, with no surprise letters waiting to leap out and ambush the unwary. That doesn't mean there aren't surprises in Swapnagiri like mischievous monkeys and a girl who chirps like a bird—and the biggest surprise of all: Dolly.
So now, Dini is hard at work on a new script, the script in which she gets to meet the amazing Dolly. But, life is often more unpredictable than the movies and when Dini starts plotting her story things get a little out of control.
This is a joyful, lively Bollywood inspired story is full of colorful details, delicious confections and the wondrous, magical powers of coincidence. Uma Krisnaswami will have you smiling from ear to ear. [chapter book, ages 9-12]
9. The Happiest Tree: A Yoga Story by Uma Krishnaswami
Hatha yoga has been practiced in India for centuries and is now a popular activity for children to help them focus and calm their minds. My middle daughter who is energetic, to say the least like Vinyasa Yoga and says that it makes her feel calm. This is a good thing! If your child enjoys yoga, he or she will like this story about how Meena, who thinks she's clumsy, uses the power of yoga to help her during her school play when she's a wiggly tree. The yoga poses in the back include tree, frog, lotus, cat, and cobra. If your child wants to explore yoga, the card deck Yoga Pretzels is a fun way for kids to explore different yoga poses! This would also make a nice gift paired together. [picture book, ages 6-9)
8. Monsoon by Uma Krishnaswami
The theme of this story–a child impatiently waiting for a change in the weather is a fairly common one in literature, especially picture books. But the heart and soul of this story is India, and properly so. It's no surprise to anyone that reads this picture book that the author grew up in India. In the story India is not a far away or exotic place, it is home-and Ms. Krishnaswami's poetic prose paints that love of her home on every page, with every word. The text on each page is brief, but it is text to be savored, full of rich imagery as everyone prepares for the monsoon rains. This is clear from the very first line: "All summer we have worn the scent of dust . . ." The author does not fall back on old clichés but finds new metaphors to describe the town and the coming rains. The result is a description that is refreshingly vibrant and just different enough to tantalize–but not to alienate-readers. It allows me to step into another country as if I were a native, experiencing the anticipation through the young narrator as she waits, worries and hopes for the rains to come. At the very back of the book, the author has included a page of information about the monsoons and India for those who want to understand the 'what' and 'where' of the story better. The addition of the information at the back allows the author to accomplish the goal of sharing the knowledge without allowing it to bog down the text of the story itself. from Shamshad at Amazon [picture book, ages 4-8] *I'll review this when I can get my hands on a copy.
7. Bringing Asha Home by Uma Krishnaswami
Asha arrives at long last from India to her new adopted bi-racial family in the United States, just in time to celebrate Rakhi Day with her new older brother Arun. [picture book, ages 4-8]
6. Catch That Crocodile! by Anushka Ravishankar
A simple story about a crocodile who shows up unexpectedly in a village. Only little Meena knows what to do. The illustrations are two color block prints that give this picture book it's quirky appeal. [picture book, ages 2-6]
5. Naming Maya by Uma Krishnaswami
The reviews at Amazon are a little harsh but I disagree. I really liked this chapter book about 12-year-old Maya who has returned to Southern India (Chennai) with her mother after her grandfather dies in order to sell his house. While the book is set in India and sparkles with imagery of rickshaws, crowded streets and the colorful personalities of their neighbors, the story is really about relationships: how Maya comes to terms with her parents' divorce, Maya and her mother's relationship with their housekeeper Kamala Mami and Kamala Mami's complex relationship with her own son and daughter-in-law. To me, the tangled web of relationships is true to East Asian familial relationships and is a story that not only teaches about another culture but also how very alike we all are no matter where we hail from. [chapter book, ages 8-14]
4. Rickshaw Girl by Mitali Perkins
Set in Bangladesh, the Rickshaw Girl is one of my favorite books (and it's not just because I met Mitali Perkins who lives in my town). It's a short chapter book about a girl who uses her artistic ability to help her sickly father support their family in an unexpected and gender-bending way. Uplifting and very educational about the hardship of growing up in poverty in Bangladesh, this is a great read that transports the reader into a different culture and lets you walk in their shoes. I find that it is as appealing to boys and girls. [short chapter book, ages 7-10]
3. My Mother's Sari by Sandhya Rao, illustrated by Nina Sabnani
This is a gorgeously illustrated picture book that collages sari fabrics with appealing drawings of multicultural children enveloped in the richly colored sari which can be anything from clothing to a hanky to a magical world of pretend. [picture book, ages 2-7]
2. Chachaji's Cup by Uma Krishnaswami
The beauty of making a list on a topic that I know nothing about is discovering really outstanding authors and Uma Krishnaswami was my find from this list. I wasn't able to find all her books at my library, but the ones I read were consistently sensitively told yet mesmerizing stories. Chachaji's Cup is no different. This is an advanced picture book that tells of the hardships of Partition (when India was split from Pakistan and many, many people were forced to uproot and move based on their religion) but told from grandfather to grandson in a gentle way to explain the significance of a special teacup he uses every day. This teacup is symbolic of hope, resilience, memory, and love, and bridges the new life in America from the old one in India. It's a picture book that would be important in an elementary school classroom but would also be good at home for any child to understand how others arrived in America whether it's someone in their family or a classmate. [picture book, ages 7-10]
1. Hot, Hot Roti for Dada-ji by F. Zia, illustrated by Ken Min
This is the book that started the list. It arrived in the mail and my youngest made me read it over and over again even though he's never eaten Indian food nor knows what a roti is or tastes like. It didn't matter. He loved this book which is a spin-off Popeye but instead of spinach, it's homemade roti that fortifies Dada-ji (and his grandson Aneel too!). The brightly colored illustrations are appealing and I also like how this book combines the old country with a modern, harmonious East Asian American family. But be careful, after reading this book, you will be craving roti! [picture book, ages 4-8]
The Yellow Suitcase by Meera Sriram, illustrated by Meera Sethi
A quilt handmade by grandma comforts Asha after her family journeys to India only to be too late to see her. For kids visiting relatives when they are very ill, this book affirms that they are not alone in their grief and loss, in a country where customs and even relatives may not be familiar. [picture book, ages 6 and up]
Step Up to the Plate Maria Singh by Uma Krishnaswami
Uma Krishnaswami set this book in a really interesting time: spring of 1945. Japanese Americans have been sent to internment camps, including a family in 9-year-old Maria's town of Yuba City in California. There are still laws that prevent people of color from owning land, voting or becoming citizens. America is at war on two fronts.
Against this backdrop, Maria Singh wants to play softball but Papi from India and Mama from Mexico are surely going to object. There's the modesty issue, but Maria can't field the ball in a long skirt. There are other issues the family is concerned about during these turbulent times: racism and its effects on their community, India's bid for independence, and being forced to move from their home. That's a big one. This is a little-known chapter of segregation that forced mixed-race marriages. Maria and her family will charm the reader, letting them see that love is color blind, strong and steadfast. [chapter book, ages 8 and up]
Finding Mighty by Sheela Chari
Sheela Chari's second mystery combines graffiti art, parkour, Indian American characters, diamond smuggling, and family secrets. It's set in Yonkers, NY and is a fast-paced urban page turner. [chapter book, ages 10 and up]
A Long Pitch Home by Natalie Dias Lorenzi
In this book, 10-year-old Bilal uses his newly acquired skills in baseball to help his father join them in America. His father is caught in a web of corruption in Pakistan.
I loved this YA romance novel of two kids the summer before college. It's a fun and humorous take on When Harry Met Sally with a "sort of" arranged marriage of two high achieving Indian Americans. Set in San Francisco's SFSU, this book combines manga with web development, and love not exactly at first sight. If you like Jenny Han's TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED series, you'll like this. [young adult, ages 12 and up]
Sea Glass Summer by Anjali Banerjee
Eleven-year-old Poppy Ray longs to be a veterinarian, but she's never had a pet. This summer, she's going to spend a month with her uncle Sanjay, veterinarian and owner of the Furry Friends Animal Clinic on an island off the Washington coast.
Poppy is in for big surprises. She loves tending to the dogs, cats, and even a bird, and she discovers the fun of newborn puppies and the satisfaction of doing a good job. But she learns that there's more to caring for animals than the stethoscope and cotton swabs in her Deluxe Veterinarian First-Aid Kit. She's not prepared for quirky pet owners, gross stuff, or scary emergencies. With help from a boy named Hawk, a chunk of seaglass, and a touch of intuition, Poppy gains a deeper understanding of the pain and joy of working with animals.
With warmth and humor, Anjali Banerjee tells the story of a resourceful, determined girl who can't wait to grow up, but begins to realize just how much she has left to discover. [chapter book, ages 9 and up]
Review by Paper Tigers.
Vanished by Sheela Chari
This book came highly recommended on a number of fronts including kidlit book bloggers and authors (see comments below). I will track it down so I can review it pronto! Author Uma Krishnaswami has an interview with author Sheela Chari here.
In Andal's House by Gloria Whelan, illustrated by Amanda Hall
Alex of Randomly Reading has this great picture book for older readers about a young boy in India who feels the sting of discrimination even though the caste-system no longer exists.
Thank you to Sunita who suggests two more books: There have been some recent releases that my girls have liked – my teenager recommended The Lost Girl and my 8 year old got Nina and the Travelling Spice Shed from her school library. I've read both and they are fantastic – both have strong Indian female characters and both are mostly set in India.
The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna
Eva's life is not her own. She is a creation, an abomination – an echo. Made by the Weavers as a copy of someone else, she is expected to replace a girl named Amarra, her 'other', if she ever died. Eva studies what Amarra does, what she eats, what it's like to kiss her boyfriend, Ray. So when Amarra is killed in a car crash, Eva should be ready.
But fifteen years of studying never prepared her for this.
Now she must abandon everything she's ever known – the guardians who raised her, the boy she's forbidden to love – to move to India and convince the world that Amarra is still alive. [Young Adult, grades 8 and up]
Nina and the Travelling Spice Shed by Madhvi Ramani
Nina is seriously grumpy. She's been saddled with a school project that she doesn't want to do and her parents who won't stop telling her how wonderful India is. But she's never ever been there!
A chance discovery changes everything — could her sweet aunty be a secret agent? Is her Aunty's spice shed, in fact, a travel machine? Before long Nina is traveling in her shed with no idea where she will land.
Nina is about to embark on a crazy adventure involving a short-tempered holy man, a charming street thief, glamorous film star and a fierce Tiger.
Secret Keeper by Mitali Perkins

When her father loses his job and leaves India to look for work in America, Asha Gupta, her older sister, Reet, and their mother must wait with Baba's brother and his family, as well as their grandmother, in Calcutta. Uncle is welcoming, but in a country steeped in tradition, the three women must abide by his decisions. Asha knows this is temporary–just until Baba sends for them.
But with scant savings and time passing, the tension builds: Ma, prone to spells of sadness, finds it hard to submit to her mother- and sister-in-law; Reet's beauty attracts unwanted marriage proposals; and Asha's promise to take care of Ma and Reet leads to impulsive behavior.
What follows is a firestorm of rebuke–and secrets revealed! Asha's only solace is her rooftop hideaway, where she pours her heart out in her diary, and where she begins a clandestine friendship with Jay Sen, the boy next door. Asha can hardly believe that she, and not Reet, is the object of Jay's attention. Then news arrives about Baba . . . and Asha must make a choice that will change their lives forever.

First Daughter: Extreme American Makeover by Mitali Perkins
In time for election year, meet America's first daughter!
Adopted from Pakistan when she was three, Sameera ("Sparrow") Righton is not your typical all-American girl. None of this used to matter, but that was before her father decided to run for president of the United States. Now some of her father's campaign staffers think that maybe a dark-skinned, adopted daughter could hurt his chances. They begin to pressure Sameera to change her name to Sammy and to be more "American." Sameera is torn between molding herself into the perfect daughter and being true to herself. Who will win out? Sparrow? Or Sammy?
Bollywood Babes
Bindi Babes series by Narinder Dhami
My going-into-6th grade tried to read this book but didn't like it. I said, well it's like an Indian American Beacon Street Girls. She countered that Beacon Street Girls is better. Maybe that is splitting hairs. It's not that either series is bad per se, it's just that neither is or ever will be up for prestigious children's lit awards. BUT, there is a place for everything and this series is great for East Asian girls who want to see themselves (2nd generation) in the books that they read for fun. We read Beacon Street Girls for the same reason … one character was the actual literacy specialist at our elementary school and we recognize many of the places in the book since it's just one town over.

A diverse bookshelf is like a window to the world – it's a lovely feeling – curiosity:)
To Navjot,
Thank you so much for your book suggestions. I will add them to the list!

What a nice surprise to find so many of my books on your list! Yes, do look for Sheela Chari's new book: Vanished. You'll find an interview with Sheela on my blog: http://umakrishnaswami.blogspot.com/2011/07/interview-wednesday-sheela-chari-on.html
Also the region you refer to in this list is South Asia and not East Asia. Here's how the South Asia Book Award committee defines the region:
http://sanoc.org/saba.html
"The countries and islands that make up South Asia are: Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Maldives, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the region of Tibet. We will also consider stories that take place in the Caribbean Islands that focus on a South Asian subject."
This is a brand new award–the first books will be chosen in 2012. We're all in for a treat.
To Writing with a Broken Tusk,
I knew something was wrong when I typed in my title. Thank younger your assistance. I corrected it. And thank you also for the book suggestion which I will add to the list. Thank you also for the heads up on the South Asia Book Award. I will definitely blog on it but probably on my other blog, jadeluckclub.
Great list – thanks!
I have 2 daughters – one 8 and one 14, so this is useful. There have been some recent releases that my girls have liked – my teenager recommended The Lost GIrl and my 8 year old got Nina and the Travelling Spice Shed from her school library. I've read both and they are fantastic – both have strong Indian female characters and both are mostly set in India..
Thanks so much for your great book recommendations Sunita! I'm adding to the list!! I wish there were more Indian American books for kids so I'm glad to find out about these!
do says:
I believe India is considered South Asian. Not South East
Thanks Do! I get this confused!
I just looked it up on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia
Maith says:
Another good book for the 11-13 crowd is "Mayil Will Not be Quiet" by Niveditha Subramaniam and Sowmya Rajendran. It's set in India, so the milieu may be somewhat strange to children brought up here, but my 11 year old daughter loved it. She found the descriptions of Mayil's internal life very true to life.
Thanks so much Maith for your great book recommendation! Adding it!!

Q: how to save the textbox value when trigger any selected manual event in page zk framework Can i use any event name here to bind the value or sever side calling any method then it will be bind. Please find below code provided by ZK.
<intbox value="@load(vm.selected.quantity) @save(vm.selected.quantity,before='saveOrder') "/>

dirty checking server side operation

here when clicking saveorder button it's working properly. but i need when any method call by inside java code then it should be bind.

tab change

another requirement is when i am changing tab before it should be bind the value.

A: AFAIK there's no way to bind the saving process automatically, therefore you can put in your before condition multiple commands:
@save(vm.selected.quantity,before={'saveOrder', 'otherCommand', 'anotherOne'})

For the tab changing (if you are refering to the ZK component), you can bind the onSelect event of the tabbox to a command and add it to the before condition

A: You can simply use @bind in value
<intbox value="@bind(vm.selected.quantity)"/>.
Then the value will be automaticly saved whenever intbox was changed.
Or  if you need validation :
<intbox value="@bind(vm.selected.quantity) @validator(vm.validator)" />
validator is an instance of a class that implements org.zkoss.bind.Validator, org.zkoss.bind.AbstractValidator for example.
Here is ZK wiki about validation:

U.S.-China Nuclear Security Exchanges Hampered by Lingering Suspicions
Plutonium pits for the U.S. nuclear arsenal are cast at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2005. Los Alamos National Laboratory
By Rachel Oswald,
Global Security Newswire
| July 18, 2014
Years after Washington accused China of nuclear espionage, the subject of resuming laboratory-to-laboratory exchanges among scientists remains a sensitive one.
It has been 15 years since a congressional committee accused China of advancing its nuclear weapons program in the 1980s and 1990s by stealing thermonuclear warhead designs from the United States. And 14 years have passed since the FBI's espionage case against former Los Alamos physicist Wen Ho Lee collapsed and he was released from jail.
For at least one expert, that is enough time for the United States to now consider resuming nuclear laboratory exchanges with China in order to assist the latter country in improving its nuclear security practices. In an online post published last week by the National Interest, Hui Zhang, a physicist and expert on China's nuclear arms policies, argues that bilateral laboratory exchanges conducted from 1995 to 1998 should continue, beginning with "less sensitive activities that are identified as mutually beneficial."
The lab-to-lab program was canceled in the aftermath of allegations made in 1999 by a U.S. House select committee led by then-Representative Christopher Cox (R-Calif.) that China was using the scientific exchanges to pilfer classified nuclear weapons information.
In recent years, reports have surfaced that the Energy Department was contemplating restarting the laboratory contacts as a means of building two-way understanding about each side's nuclear arms policy.
Currently, Washington and the Chinese government are jointly funding the construction of a nuclear-securitytraining center in Beijing that is to focus on combating the illicit trafficking of atomic substances and technologies in the region. Last week, U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz discussed the issue of reducing the use of highly enriched uranium in research reactors with the head of China's Atomic Energy Authority.
At the same time, concern has been rising in the United States about cyber espionage committed by Chinese hackers. Last year, a Defense Department advisory board alleged that cyber attackers from China had gained access to the design plans for a number of U.S. ballistic missile defense systems. And a Pentagon report revealed a notable increase in recent years in the amount of military cyber espionage -- understood to originate from the Asia-Pacific region -- on radiation-hardened electronics. So-called "rad-hard" technologies have applications in nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.
Beijing officially denies ordering digital intrusions against the networks of U.S. defense companies and government agencies. Chinese officials have argued Washington is being hypocritical in its allegations, given recent revelations by former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden about widespread National Security Agency electronic spying.
Still, Zhang, a senior researcher at Harvard University's Project on Managing the Atom, recommends that nuclear laboratory contacts be restarted. He'd like to see them begin with comprehensive bilateral discussions on best practices for remote monitoring of nuclear warheads, tracking and observation of fissile-material shipments, and safeguarding atomic arsenals. If these exchanges proceed smoothly, he proposes that, "based on the experience from U.S.-Russian cooperation, China and the United States may consider mutual visits and joint work at selected key sites."
For other researchers, such as Michael Auslin of the American Enterprise Institute, reinvigorating nuclear laboratory contacts with China is a dangerous proposition.
"Resuming nuclear laboratory cooperation with China ... is a terrible idea," Auslin, an expert on U.S.-Asia relations, wrote in an email response to questions from Global Security Newswire. "It sounds like it would be a good way to promote trust and best practices, but in reality has the high likelihood of becoming a Trojan Horse whereby the Chinese gain sensitive, if not vital, information about how we protect against threats and evaluate our nuclear programs."
Auslin found particularly objectionable Zhang's recommendation that Chinese specialists be allowed to observe"force-on-force" exercises at U.S. civilian atomic sites that are designed to assess a nuclear power operator's ability to protect sensitive materials from theft or disturbance by potential intruders. To do so "is an invitation to give away our deepest plans for defense of nuclear facilities," he said.
Lora Saalman, an associate professor at the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies, said she found some of Zhang's recommendations for best-practice exchanges worth exploring. But she argued that, at present, the suggestions appeared to be more beneficial to China than to the United States. To get backing from the U.S. government and policymakers, a stronger case should be made on how resuming the laboratory contacts would be good for the United States, she said in an email.
"To my understanding, there is already some momentum in U.S. official channels to re-start the lab-to-lab exchanges, but there has been longstanding reluctance on the Chinese side," which has previously demanded an official apology for the allegations made in the Cox report, Saalman said.

Jeb Bush (AP/Erik Schelzig)
Our long national charade is over: Jeb Bush ends his official non-candidacy after treating us all like fools
A look at how Jeb Bush spent his final days of definitely not running for president
Simon Maloy
Today, at long last, the obscene and flagrantly absurd shadow campaign of John Ellis "Jeb" Bush comes to an end. Jeb will give a speech at Miami Dade College announcing the results of his half-year, soul-searching, money-grubbing, election law-flouting "exploration" of his own presidential ambitions. Having had a nice long conversation with himself (and having squeezed wealthy donors for as much money as he could for his super PAC), Jeb is set to announce that he is, in fact, an official candidate for the presidency.
That's sad for me, since it will limit my opportunities to attack Jeb for being a thoroughly corruptible lout. He's been methodically constructing his campaign apparatus for months and doing everything else an official candidate would, but because he declined to say the magic words "I am a candidate," he remained free of all the fundraising restrictions that might otherwise slow the growth of his campaign war chest. He did this for six months, it was done in deliberate bad faith, and he knows full well that everyone else knows the scam he pulled. But he also knows that our largely useless campaign finance laws have giant loopholes for him to slide comfortably through, so he doesn't care.
But that's all coming to a close today. So I'm going to seize my chance while I can and, for the sake of posterity, chronicle how Jeb Bush spent his final days as a man who is definitely not an official candidate for the presidency.
Like any good bullshit artist, Jeb refused to break character and kept the act going right up to the bitter end. As my colleague Jim Newell ably documented, the political media whipped themselves into a frenzy last week over news that Bush had "shaken things up" and replaced the person who will manage his campaign. While Jeb was on his tour of Europe, a reporter from NBC News asked why he changed his campaign manager, and Jeb threw the question back in her face like she was an idiot for even asking it: "Well, first of all, we don't have a campaign, so there was no switching."
Cam-paign? What is this "cam-paign" you speak of? My dear madam, I fear you are confused! I am but a simple traveler in these foreign lands. Now if you'll excuse me, I must go comment on U.S. foreign policy and have my picture taken shaking hands with heads of state.
So there's no campaign. Fair enough. But at the same time Bush was chastising reporters for accusing him of having a campaign, he was giving other reporters a sneak peek of the campaign themes he plans to lay out in his big speech today. "I hope that the message will be a hopeful, optimistic one," he said, according to the Washington Post. "It won't dwell too much on the past. I will talk about why it is important to change directions. I will talk a little bit about, hopefully, the leadership skills that are necessary to solve problems." (As part of the ludicrous dance around his candidacy, Jeb developed a curious habit of saying he "hoped" that he would do something candidate-related, as if he wasn't in control of his political destiny.) He's apparently also going to talk about how Florida, the state he once governed, "was changed by my leadership, and I think it changed for the better."
Now, if you take Jeb at his word, it's entirely possible that he's going to stand behind the lectern at Miami Dade College today and deliver these thoughts on leadership and ruminate on his own successes as governor, and then declare he's not running for president. It could happen! He doesn't have a campaign, after all. At least not as far as the Federal Election Commission is concerned.
Anyway, as Jeb was describing to reporters the themes of the campaign he doesn't have, his advisers were telling other reporters about the campaign strategy they're going to pursue – hypothetical strategy, I mean. According to CNN:
In conversations with multiple Bush advisers and confidantes in the run up to his official White House launch Monday, a singular theme emerges from inside his close-knit world: Patience.
Team Bush seems to say it as much to remind themselves, as they do the pundit and donor classes. They know patience is not an easy watch-word when today's politics moves at warp speed.
"It doesn't happen in a day," said Al Cardenas, Bush's long time friend who will serve as a senior adviser on his presidential campaign.
And while those Bush aides were leaking strategy details, other Bush people were rounding up and rolling out a series of high-profile political figures who endorsed Jeb for the office he wasn't officially running for. You know, just normal stuff that people who might not be running for president do all the time.
All this to say that in the days leading up to today's speech, Team Bush abandoned any pretense of concealing Jeb's intentions. It's just as well, since it's been a long time since anyone had any real doubts about Jeb's eventual candidacy. But Jeb himself stuck with it. "We don't have a campaign," he insisted, making one last mockery of election law before his non-existent phantom campaign magically springs to life.

Two men who work in the fishing industry were today granted bail after pleading not guilty to charges of illegal fishing and conspiring to commit criminal offences on a fishing boat.
Fisherman Sammy Vella, 34, from Marsaxlokk, was charged with catching and selling undersized swordfish, filing false declarations and failing to notify the port authorities of his return.
Former Valletta footballer Darren Debono, who at the time of the incident was not on the boat, was charged with conspiring with Vella and unloading illegally caught tuna.
The 40 year old, from San Ġwann, is the registered owner of the fishing vessel and also runs a fish restaurant.
The police were informed of the case, when officers from the fishing authorities noted that fishing vessel Marie de Lourdes II had returned to port without notification.
Regulations state that fishing boats are to inform port authorities of their return, four hours prior to their arrival.
Once at shore, the accused started unloading their catch which included tuna. Officers from the Fisheries Department called on site and the police were informed.
The accused argued they had been fishing for swordfish and the tuna was part of the by-catch. However, swordfish tackle was found onboard and the fisheries officials rebutted that the amount of tuna found on the boat was over the by-catch percentage allowed at law.
Magistrate Miriam Hayman granted bail to the accused against a deposit of €3,000 and a personal guarantee of €15,000 each.
At the end of the sitting, Debono's defence counsel informed the court that the accused had a scheduled business flight to Libya on Saturday morning.
The Court asked the prosecuting inspector for his views about the request. Inspector Jurgen Vella was about to say he had no objections to Debono's request but then told the magistrate he would abide by any decision she takes.
"I want to know what you think and what you were about to say", Magistrate Hayman told the inspector. He then confirmed that there was no fear of Debono absconding from the country.
Defence lawyer Gianella de Marco, informed the court that Debono resides in Malta, had his wife and children on the island and also owns a number of businesses locally.
After retiring to her chambers, to ponder the request, Magistrate granted Debono permission to go on his business trip and return Monday.
The defence lawyers of Sammy Vella called on the court to allow the fisherman to keep his identify card and passport.
"Such documents are to be kept on board if Vella carries out fishing outside territorial waters. Seizing his documents effectively precludes him from carrying out any form of serious and profitable fishing. He cannot earn his living by fishing only in territorial waters", lawyer Michael Sciriha said.
However the court turned down the request, and threatened the lawyer with finding him in contempt of court if he argued the decision. "I am definitely not changing my decree", Magistrate Hayman said.
Police Inspector Jurgen Vella prosecuted while lawyers Michael and Lucio Sciriha and Giannella de Marco appeared for the accused.
