Let there be light — Agami and One Million Lights' initiative to distribute solar lanterns amongst poor students in Bangladesh. Solar lights will go to all the students in Agami's school projects in Bangladesh. The organization has partnered with One Million Lights (www.onemillionlights.org ) in implementing this rather ambitious project. We are calling it 'Let There Be Light' in the spirit of the famous unfinished movie of the same name by the film maker Zahir Raihan who was killed during the 1971 liberation war.
Solar lights in Cambodia — One Million Lights volunteer Paul Saunders brought 10 of our solar lights to the children at Cambodia Children's Fund. Here's a bit of information about their education programs: "Many of our CCF students arrive having had little or no education, and are often unable to read and write in their own language. Others have received some learning through the public school system, but due to substandard materials and teacher-to-student ratios, have been unable to realize their full potential.
Enthusiasm and light radiate from Peter Yobo as he talks about helping underprivileged youth reach their own unique potential. He feels that even people growing up in dire circumstances can be agents of positive change within their communities and around the world, but first, they need two things: assistance and exposure.
Healing Power of Hands, both small and large, in Haiti — Children use the Power of their Pennies to send Solar Lights to Haiti.
It all started with a terrible earthquake in Haiti. Elementary students and healthcare workers in Palo Alto, CA put their grief and sadness to work and have sent 20 solar lights to the people of Musseau, Haiti, with plans to send at least 80 more in March.

Understanding Homeowner's Insurance Replacement Cost – Brandon FL | Fairchild, Addison, & McKone Insurance, Inc.
It seems like at least once a week we receive a phone call with a concerned customer inquiring about the replacement cost on their homeowner's insurance versus the market price of their home. The market price of your home is set by; you guessed it, the market. As such, the market price can fluctuate greatly over time, and is impacted by the location of your home, the "curb appeal", the size of the lot, current interest rates, supply and demand of homes, and even the popularity of the architectural style of your home. Essentially, the market price is what you could expect to sell your home for under normal conditions.
Conversely, the replacement cost is the estimated cost of what it would take to rebuild your home in the event of a total loss. Replacement cost is impacted by the age of the house, the square footage, features of the home, the average cost of materials & labor, and location. The location factor helps to demonstrate how the two values differ. The market price uses location in terms of how desirable or undesirable an area is, whereas replacement cost uses location in terms of how expensive it is to get materials or the cost of labor for the reconstruction of the home or debris removal.
The replacement cost in homeowners insurance is to return the insured to the 'status quo' in event of a total loss.
For example, let's say that your house has a market value of $140,000** and your homeowners insurance agent suggests that you insure the house for $180,000 (replacement cost) but you decide to insure the home for only $140,000. If there was a fire or a hurricane that destroyed the house, you would be shy $40,000 if you wanted to rebuild your house and you'd have to pay the difference out of pocket. This is also true for a partial loss. If the home is under-insured, you would also be responsible for a portion of the damages, even if the total damages are less than the value you have the house insured for.
Another all too common occurrence is when people chose to insure their home for the same amount as the loan on the home. The problem with that is that in the event of a total loss, your insurance money could be only sufficient to pay off the mortgage but insufficient to restore your quality of life after the total loss.
If you are concerned the replacement value of your home is inflated, you can always contact your homeowner's insurance agent a call and we can reassess the cost to rebuild your home. After your home is impacted by a fire or a hurricane, there is no way to describe the feelings of loss that can affect you. Treasured family photos, wedding presents, childhood mementos are forfeited and there is no way to replace those. The last thing you want at that moment is to realize that financially, you and your family's standard of living are now in jeopardy as you struggle to regain a sense of normalcy and safety. That's really what insurance is for – to provide you with peace of mind.
**These examples are all generalizations. All policies are unique and your policy should be consulted for your exact coverage's.

Q: Pattern.matches doesn't work, while replaceAll does The regular expression seems to be ok, since the first line line correctly replace the substring with "helloworld", but the same expression won't match in the latter since i cannot see "whynothelloworld?" on console
System.out.println(current_tag.replaceAll("^[01][r]\\s", "helloworld"));

if (Pattern.matches("^[01][r]\\s", current_tag)) { System.out.println("whynothelloworld?");}

A: Pattern.matches() expects the entire string to match, not just a substring.
Use the .find() method of the regex matcher object instead:
Pattern regex = Pattern.compile("^[01]r\\s");
Matcher regexMatcher = regex.matcher(current_tag);
foundMatch = regexMatcher.find();

A: It can't match again because you just replaced it with "helloworld".
Edit: sorry, I forgot how this worked.


Erwan Heussaff and Anne Curtis tied the knot in Southland, New Zealand on Sunday, November 12.
Beautiful Bride, Anne Ojales Curtis-Smith is a Filipino-Australian actress, model, television host, VJ, recording and concert artist in the Philippines.
Handsome Groom, Erwan Heusaff is a Filipino-French chef. Before fame, as a teenager he weighed 240 pounds due to his sedentary lifestyle and went on to lose over 90 pounds, which inspired him to create his channel in June of 2012.


2014 model purchased in 2015 with 7 year 100,000 mile extended warranty. One owner. Brand new Michelin tires. Excellent condition exterior and interior. Offered a newer car which is reason for selling this one.


It is not hard to see why the Athos table has been a bestseller from B&B Italia since 2001. It's beautifully proportioned and accommodates your favorite party, big or small with an easy to use self stored leaf. The top is newly refinished in a medium gray oak veneer with a bright brushed aluminum frame. Easily extendable leaf mechanism at the middle of the table.


I hit a milestone today: I weighed 148 for a total of 130 pounds lost. Hooray!
That's 17 pounds less than I ever aimed to weigh when I started this journey, less than I weighed on my wedding day and in college, and I'm more fit than I've been... well, EVER. It's also just 9 pounds away from having lost half my body weight, which is pretty unreal to wrap my brain around.
It's fun to have this to celebrate while I'm benched from running these few weeks. I've been really enjoying myself just focusing on strength, yoga, and swimming, and my swimming has been really strong (go figure--when I'm not already exhausted from running, I have a stronger swim, who knew? lol). Today I even listened to my body and didn't push up out of bed when I was laying there feeling a little under the weather. Instead I went back to bed and woke up feeling healthy and happy. I know for some people, rolling over and going back to bed is NOT the goal, but for me now, I'm interested in achieving a balance between the pushing myself that seems to come naturally now and the tuning in to my needs that's not been coming so naturally. It feels like real victory to tune in, listen to the message, and NOT beat myself up for it!
Have a great start to the week, all! Love and Namaste.
Wow. Congratulations! That's a huge accomplishment.
How inspirational for the rest of us.
what an amazing accomplishment. I hope you do find that balance. I know you will. Maintaining is such a totally different mindset, but I think you are already there.
That is wonderful! I am so inspired by your success!
That is absolutely incredible! Wow! You lost a whole person, essentially. Way to go Melissa!
What an incredible accomplishment! Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to us all!
You have done, and are doing, a magnificent job!! I know that you will be able to maintain your weight loss and life style. Enjoy the swimming now that you aren't tired from running.
What an incredible accomplishment! Congratulations!
Woo Hoo! Congratulations. What a spectacular achievement!!!!
Sounds like you're really getting in tune with what your body needs. That's so cool!
That is so incredible!!!!! And good for you for listening to your body and sleeping in a bit :).
You are amazing! Congratulations on your accomplishments!!! You should be extremely proud of how far you have come!!!
Wow that is absolutely amazing! Congratulations.
Congrats on hitting a new milestone!
CONGRATULATIONS! That is absolutely amazing and fabulous!
WOW...just...WOW! What an awesome accomplishment!
congratulations!!! not only for the weight loss and fitness gain but also and maybe moreso for tuning into your body's needs.. giving it a break and a rest when it needs it.. and being cool with doing that! makes for a much better maintenance phase!
This is awesome...good for you!


UnChained is honored to be a part of changing lives – those of our Youth Trainers, program dogs, and members of the UnChained family from volunteers to supporters to partner organizations.
UnChained staff couldn't believe they were listening to such a young lady sing so wonderfully at only 13 years of age when we participated in the Live Like Coco Fun Run in spring of 2018 in Watsonville presented by the Live Like Coco Foundation.
Moved by her musical gifts, we humbly requested Morgen to write a song for UnChained, to which she and her mother agreed with great esteem. Inspired by our Youth Trainers and what they give to their dogs, Morgen penned a beautiful song entitled "Living UnChained" that perfectly captures our mission and the special bond between our students and their program dogs.
Once Kiki helped find Lady a loving home, she volunteered with UnChained, working fundraising events in Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties and giving back to her community. Kiki is a very special teen: she's given up many weekend mornings by waking before sunrise and working until sunset all with a positive, cheerful and helpful attitude. While Kiki helped to change the life of a young dog, a young dog helped to change the life of a young woman.
Watch Kiki's heartwarming story here.
In 2016, Leilani trained a little dog named Rodney in UnChained's Canines Teaching Compassion Program. Compassion was in full supply with Leilani. She and Rodney adored each other and Leilani helped Rodney find a loving home.
Because of her love of giving, Leilani returned in 2017 for her 2nd Canines Teaching Compassion program where she worked with Mango, a little guy with a big heart. Before coming into the program, Mango lost one of his hind legs and was a bit (understandably) timid. Leilani offered Mango patience and affection that helped him learn trust and confidence. Ultimately, Leilani's training and love helped Mango overcome his anxiety and reveal his true colors.
Leilani talked about her experience with both dogs in a video from fall of 2017. We hope you enjoy this young woman's passion and compassion as much as we do!

New Video Series: Refactoring With PhpStorm by Matthew Setter
Roman Pronskiy
We've collaborated with PHP engineer and technical trainer Matthew Setter to bring you a 7-part video series showing how to systematically improve the quality of your code using PhpStorm's refactoring functionality.
Check out the first two episodes!
What you are going to learn
In this series Matthew's going to teach you how to perform the following refactorings:
Change Signature: You'll learn how to change method names and return types; add, remove, and reorder parameters, and assign default values to parameters; change parameter names and types; and propagate new parameters through the method call hierarchy.
Extract Class: You'll discover how to make classes more cohesive and, if they get too large, how to extract methods and fields into a new class.
Extract Constant: We'll explore how to make your source code easier to read and maintain by refactoring hard-coded constants that provide no explanation of their value or purpose into class constants.
Extract Interface: You'll learn how to extract methods to an interface and mark the source class as implementing the new interface.
Extract Method: We'll discuss how to refactor code into a new method so that it can be used over and over again.
Inline Variable: You'll learn how to replace the usage of a redundant variable with the variable's underlying expression.
Introduce Field: You'll discover how to refactor an expression into a new class-level field so that it can be readily used throughout the class.
Introduce Variable: You'll learn how to refactor a selected expression into a new variable, which greatly helps reduce code duplication.
Rename: You'll learn how to rename symbols, such as variables, constants, classes, and methods, as well as files and directories, so that they are more intuitive, meaningful, and representative of their purpose.
Pull Members Up: You'll learn how to move class members up to parent classes. This helps you avoid manually copying methods and fields from one class into another, along with updating references to them.
By the end of this series, you'll be proficient at using PhpStorm to clean up code.

Dean Myers, 58, Wahpeton, ND, passed away Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at his residence. The Funeral Service will be Tuesday, 11:00 am at St. John's Catholic Church, Wahpeton, ND. Visitation will be Monday, from 5 PM to 7 PM at Willow Creek Chapel, Wahpeton, and one hour before the service at the church on Tuesday. Vertin-Munson Funeral Home, Wahpeton, is in charge of arrangements. Dean was born on November 5, 1954 in Webster, SD to Clyde and Laura (Bergstrom) Myers. He grew up and attended school in the Andover, SD area and graduated from Groton High School in 1973. He worked for various farmers in the area until he moved to Wahpeton to attend NDSCS for upholstery. He also worked for Robanks at that time. Dean was united in marriage to Julie Dierks on June 17, 1989 at St. John's Catholic Church. Dean worked for D & E Machining until it closed. At that time, Dean and Julie started Pro Tec Machining and have owned and operated that business to the present day. Dean was a member of the Wahpeton Buffalo Club and enjoyed the outdoors and animals, although he did like to hunt it was mainly to stock the freezer. He also rode motorcycle and liked to be with friends and family. Dean taught his daughter Laura to ice skate and was so dedicated to sharing this experience that he served as president of the Southern Valley Figure Skating Club for two years.

there are no words...we are so very sorry for your loss. May each passing day bring you understanding and peace. Our prayers are with you.
Julie and Laura - I was shocked and saddened to learn of Deans unexpected passing. I had the pleasure of working with Dean many years ago at D&E - and our paths would cross through Pro Tech. My deepest condolences to you. He was such a wonderful guy.
and puppies. Your in our prayers.
Myself along with Dean's graduating class of 1973 light this candle in Dean's memory. Dean was a very special friend and his family is remembered in our thoughts and prayers.
No words can express how saddened we are for your loss. Uncle Dean was such a wonderful man and he will be missed greatly by everyone who knew him. Although I haven't been up to see you guys in awhile I often thought of all of you. I will remember Uncle Dean as a quiet, pleasant person who was kind to everyone. Such a gentle, hardworking person who valued his family so much. I know the days and months are gonna be extremely hard for the both of you, but keep all the wonderful memories of your times together close to your heart and know that he will never be forgotten.
Julie and Laura, We are so saddened by the loss of Dean. He was a truly a great person. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs to you both.

Provider Fails to Meet Robocall Mitigation Requirements: Gets Cut Off from Other Networks
YouMailPS
For over a year, the FCC has been warning of dire consequences for communication service providers who don't fight robocalls and caller ID spoofing. In late November 2022, they showed they are serious, by removing a company fully from the call networks, requiring all other providers to "cease accepting the Company's traffic."
In this article, we cover:
The FCC Cuts Off Provider from Network Access
Requirements for Robocall Mitigation
Robocall Mitigation Solutions
On November 22, 2022, the Federal Communications Commission took the dramatic and somewhat shocking step of cutting off a voice service provider from other networks for failing to meet the FCC's requirements to protect consumers against robocalls and caller ID spoofing.
Global UC was removed from the FCC's Robocall Mitigation Database, which "requires all intermediate providers and terminating voice service providers to cease accepting the Company's traffic."
FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel summarized the FCC's point: "For too long, robocalls have flooded our phones and facilitated fraud. So we are using a new tool to fight against these scam calls. We are cutting providers off and preventing them from accessing our networks when they fail to demonstrate they will protect consumers."
In addition, the FCC continues to review other company robocall mitigation efforts, and has been presenting "show cause" orders to other providers, demanding that they show concrete steps in robocall mitigation, or they will face shutdowns as well.
For the past few years, CSPs have worried that the FCC would issue a Cease & Desist letter. We know see that they are willing go much further, with complete network shutdowns.
The FCC has made fighting robocalls a priority and pushed most of the responsibilities for that to the communication service providers (CSPs). Most CSPs are required to be certified in the Robocall Mitigation Database. To do so requires implementation of STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication protocols, and/or robocall mitigation plans for portions of a network where STIR/SHAKEN does not work.
Certifications that fail the Robocall Mitigation Database standards will receive a notification from the FCC, then a "show cause" order, then a shut down notification.
But there are relatively straightforward methods for CSPs to enforce robocall mitigation, that don't require dramatic network changes nor burdensome expenses.
YouMailPS is the commercial side of the very well-known YouMail app. With the YouMail app, consumers and small businesses use our voicemail system, add virtual numbers, offer a virtual receptionist, and more. This communication platform handles over one billion calls per year for over 10 million users.
The data gathered in this system allows YouMailPS billions of content datapoints, and have built decades of experience in fighting robocalls.
So CSPs flock to YouMailPS Robocall Mitigation, which is comprised of a collection of technologies. These tools leverage patented AI algorithms to analyze communications content, accurately identifying unwanted calls.
Next, unique digital fingerprints are matched with telephone numbers used by bad actors. These digital fingerprints often follow bad actors wherever they go – across spoofed telephone numbers and multiple originating service providers, so YouMailPS is effective regardless of attack duration, frequency, and other tactics.
This information helps CSPs reduce compliance risk by identifying problematic numbers immediately and being able to immediately shut down any number that behaves illegally.

On behalf of Vic Hill of Hill Macdonald, LLC posted in Child Custody on Wednesday, December 24, 2014.
In a by-gone era, the fathers went into the military and the mothers tended to the house and children. However, those days are gone as now either parent is just as likely to enter the different branches of service. Until recently, this choice may have come at a terrible price for some parents who were denied child custody on the basis of their military deployments. Many parents throughout Georgia and the rest of the country possibly lost custody due to their deployment status.
Congress just recently passed a bill that would no longer allow parents to be at risk for losing custody after deployment. The bill was first introduced in 2007 and has been presented yearly for approval. The major sponsor of the bill has tried for the past seven years to get the rest of Congress to throw support behind the bill.
The bill has been incorporated into the National Defense Authorization Act. One reason for the delay in passage was attributed to congressional members misinterpreting the bill's intention as many purportedly worried that such a law would give an unfair advantage to service personnel in custody matters. However, Representative Mike Turner, who wrote the bill, and the Chairman of the House Armed Services, Buck McKeon, worked together to get the measure through in order to level the playing field for parents who serve their country.
The bill now awaits the signature of President Obama, which is expected. The measure was born out of the experience of one mother who was denied custody of her child when she returned from her deployment with the National Guard in 2004. Two years later, she did regain child custody and she offered testimony in support of the bill multiple times. The bill is intended to protect a deployed parent's custody rights so that those who serve are not penalized by losing court-ordered custody. Georgia families have access to multiple professional resources who can provide guidance and assistance when questions of child custody cannot be resolved peacefully between parents.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Resident Evil Village won a "highly recommended" honor for best characters in the Tom's Guide Awards 2021 for gaming.
Resident Evil Village is a perfect way to spend a weekend — provided you want to be scared out of your pants. I learned this myself over the last few days, as I walked Ethan Winters through the latest traumatic experiences in his life, as fate conspired to bring him and his family back into danger.
And while the conversation around Resident Evil Village has been focused on the towering Lady Alcina Dimitrescu, curious fans should know RE8 is more than just her. In fact, if you were buying the game just for her, you might wind up disappointed. But this Resident Evil Village review will show why the game is great beyond her long, dangerous reach.

And a couple of pieces of housekeeping up front. First, this Resident Evil Village review will be as spoiler-free as possible. The experience of playing this game was one I enjoyed tremendously, and that came (in part) from being unaware of what I was about to see. The one thing that I was spoiled about, and the scenes that hewed closely to the demos, didn't hit as hard, so I wrote this review wanting to make your experience better than mine.
Also, I played Resident Evil Village on a PS5, where it played pretty smoothly, with one notable oddity I'll mention below. I bought the PS5 with Resident Evil Village in mind.
Resident Evil Village review: Game length
Earlier this year, I worried as to whether or not Resident Evil Village would be too long. Word came out that the game was going for much grander ambitions, after Peter Fabiano, producer and founder of Global Production at Capcom, told Official PlayStation Magazine (opens in new tab) that Village is "much larger than what players experienced in Resident Evil VII: Biohazard."
Then I got my hands on Resident Evil Village, and pleasantly discovered the game is just-long-enough. Friends finished the game before I could, ending it in 8 or 9 hours. Which was just as long as RE7 is rated for on How Long To Beat (opens in new tab).
(Image credit: Capcom)
And I wound up spending more time in it, finishing it in 12 hours and 20 minutes, and still loving it. Unlike how I played Resident Evil 7, I found myself obsessed with treasure hunting in the village and castles, for making the most of my trips to the shop and getting upgrades for weapons.
Resident Evil Village never wore out its welcome throughout that entire time, and I actually found myself going back to replay bosses, for loot-hunting related ideas.
Resident Evil Village review: World design
I won't spoil the events of the start of the game, but it's safe to say that Ethan, his wife Mia, and their infant child Rose are besieged by a group of rude houseguests. And their arrival quickly brings you to the titular village in Resident Evil Village, a wide-ranging plot of acreage in an un-named European country — where everything is wrong.
Lycans, aka werewolves, litter the alleys like drunks on Santacon week. Puzzles dare you to unlock their secrets. And then, a giant with a massive weapon shows up, in case you haven't screamed aloud yet. All this, you endure, to try and piece Ethan's family back together.
And the city is so lovingly laid out and designed that I couldn't help but enjoy myself, even when I had trouble navigating things. I blame myself for that, mostly, as I rarely tend to use the in-game maps as much as I should, something I later learned navigating Castle Dimitrescu. Covered in golden opulence, with all sorts of secrets to discover, this level is so well-designed (it may be the best of the bunch) that you may never want to leave.
Resident Evil Village review: Characters
As mentioned above, Lady Dimitrescu has been the talk of the town when it comes to Resident Evil Village, but she's far from the only memorable figure in the game. Most notably, the second castle of Resident Evil Village has possibly the most shocking moment in the entire game. I had it slightly spoiled for me, so I won't dare even suggest what frights await you.
What I can say, though, is that multiple people I know verbally exclaimed "Nope!" at the TV, upon first sight of a certain monstrosity. You'll see vampires, werewolves, mechanically-enhanced weirdos, mutations and more. It all snaps together as a love-letter to monster movies, and one that you probably won't play just once.
And that's not even the final boss of that castle, but a mid-boss who killed me at least twice. Those moments highlight to me why Resident Evil Village is such a success: the game has such a range of variety that it always keeps you on your toes. It's arguable that there is too much of the chases that are synonymous with the Resident Evil series, but each villain's attacks are varied enough that I didn't find myself bored at the slightest.
Village also seems to be a bit more finely-tuned for its frights than Resident Evil 7: Biohazard was. While that game was all about the haunted house jump-scares, and hitting you as often as possible with them, Village spreads its horrors out a bit more evenly, so that everything has more time to breathe (and for you to take a deep breath or two).
Resident Evil Village review: Sound and 3D Audio
While we used to watch X-Files with the lights off, for a sense of dread and immersion, many will probably play Resident Evil Village similarly. Instead, I recommend you play Resident Evil Village with headphones on — and on the PS5 — for a different reason.
The sound design of the game is so well done, that I found it essential to my survival. This is mostly because of the PS5's 3D Audio, which helped me hear where the lycans and other threats to Ethan Winters' life were coming from. And that's a big deal because the attacks are coming from all around you, and I found my access to medical supplies dwindling late in the game.
Resident Evil Village review: Shortcomings
My biggest gripe with Resident Evil Village is that the third act of the game doesn't feel nearly as clever as the rest of the action. The gameplay moves over to shooting, shooting and more shooting, especially in the penultimate section. And too much of that feels a lot less engaging.
I also found it weird that one of the big PlayStation 5 titles had so much pop-in — the weird visual glitch where items in your point of view just 'pop' into the scene. This may be a hazard of games that are designed for multiple consoles, as Resident Evil Village isn't a PS5 exclusive.
Resident Evil Village review: Verdict
I try and stick to a strong sleep schedule, with bedtimes and such, but Resident Evil Village shattered my ability to stop put down the controller and stop playing. One night I stayed up late watching a friend streaming it on Twitch, howling at his shocked reactions to the game's events.
Resident Evil Village is the most engrossing game I've played in forever, with a twisted labyrinthine story that hooks you in and pulls you down rabbit hole after rabbit hole. Somehow, its crazy, weird plot almost makes sense by the end, and any failings to that regard don't really feel that frustrating. The real beauty of the game, as this Resident Evil Village review shows, are the monsters we met along the way.

Year 8 is an exciting year for students at Carshalton High School for Girls , they are no longer the "juniors" of the school and start to feel much more confident in their lessons. The students also have begun to form friendships that will hopefully see them through to Year 11.
Year 8 students are also offered the unique opportunity of acting as school receptionists. Each student takes it in turn to spend a whole day working with another student on reception. This involves taking urgent messagse to students, checking registers, doing lesson checks, collecting work for students who are not in their usual lessons and meeting and greeting visitors to the school. The students thoroughly enjoy this day and it really helps them to learn their way around the school and see the range of tasks undertaken by staff around the school.
Year 8 students also become more readily involved in the many extra-curricular activities on offer at Carshalton Girls. Students are heavily involved in the inter-form House competitions, debating club, dance shows, drama productions etc.
Of course the other major preoccupation for Year 8 students is the Option Choice process, this starts before Easter. Following an Options Evening for parents and students held in March. Great care is taken to provide students with saster sessions of their choice before their final options are selected.

The climate change discourse has engendered considerable international debates that have dominated the environmental agenda since the mid-1980s. Currently addressing the threat of climate change is a global priority. In the context of the significant attention to climate change at global level, debates regarding identification of gender perspectives and the involvement of women in addressing climate change have arisen. It is believed that men and women will be faced with different vulnerabilities to climate change impacts due to existing inequalities such as, their role and position in society, access to resources and power relations that may affect the ability to respond to the effects of climate change (WEDO, 2007; Commission on the Status of Women 2008; Carvajal et al. 2008; BRIDGE, 2008).
Currently there is insufficient knowledge regarding gender differentiated impacts of climate change. As a result policy and decision-makers are not aware of the need for gender differentiated policies. It has therefore become important to understand the interrelations between climate change and gender so as to design effective climate change polices. With particular attention to South Africa, this study aims to examine the interrelations between climate change and gender so as to make a contribution to the existing information gap on the gender differentiated impacts of climate change.
The study will also aim to create awareness amongst policy and decision-makers about the need for gender differentiated adaptation policies. The study was conducted in rural areas located in uMzinyathi and uMhlathuze district municipalities. UMzinyathi and UMhlathuze are among the municipalities situated in Kwazulu-Natal. Kwazulu-Natal is a province of South Africa that forms the east coast of the country. It is South Africa's most populous province with a population of 9 426 017 million people. Apart from being South Africa's most populous province, KwaZulu-Natal has the biggest poverty gap of R 18 billion with 61% of the population living in poverty (HSRC, 2004).
The study makes use of qualitative research techniques guided by a combination of gender analysis tools. The techniques include participatory rural appraisal in the form of focus group discussions, role play, life histories and key informant interviews. Through these techniques, primary data was collected to understanding the differences in gender roles, activities, needs, and opportunities in the context of climate change.
The results of this study cannot be used to generalise South Africa as each community is unique and will differ in culture and values. However, the findings are an important step in unveiling the dynamics and realities of gender differentiated impacts of climate change including climate variability. In addition, with a wide scope of analysis and mthe time constraints this report cannot claim to be exhaustive, nevertheless every effort has been made to ensure that key emerging issues are highlighted.
In trying to understand gender and climate change in the context of South Africa, it is important to appreciate gender and gender relations in the country. In this context the contemporary position of women in South Africa cannot be fully appreciated without an understanding of the ways in which colonialism, capitalism and apartheid have morganised social relations and fractured society along racial, class and gender lines (Baden, et al., 1998). South Africa therefore presents a unique situation from a political perspective, particularly with reference to apartheid.
Since the establishment of the democratic government in 1994, various significant developments have occurred to set the pace towards building gender equality in South Africa. Having recognised that gender is dynamic and that gender roles are neither natural nor sacred, a number of progressive policies and legislation have been put in place to set the context for gender transformation. This is to encourage a situation in which women and men can make real choices about their own lives and other issues.
In spite of the major gains, there still remain enormous disparities and inequalities between men and women. The most important challenges are faced by women in rural areas who are still living in poverty with limited resources to ensure sustainable livelihoods.
Given that the men and women in both study areas are poverty stricken with dependency on agriculture and natural resource for their livelihoods, climate change poses a risk for them. Gender differentiated impacts of climate variability were manifested in the unequal distribution of roles and responsibilities of men and women in both study areas. Results reveal that through socially constructed roles and responsibilities, women seem to bear the most burdens resulting from climate variability impacts. Women's burdens were more evident in their response to the impacts of climate variability. Women were found to have extra workloads when faced with climatic stressors as they made efforts to cope with them. Working longer hours than men affected them not only physically but emotionally drained them as they constantly have to worry about the well being of their household members, especially children and the youth who depend on them.
Although the men's work load is lighter than that of women they are also impacted by climate variability. Men's impacts are more psychological than physical. Their psychological effects are further compounded by unemployment resulting in negative coping mechanisms. There is therefore no doubt that climate change will impact differently on rural men and women.
The results also show that gender roles are undergoing change due to climate related impacts which are further heightened by factors such as unemployment, HIV/AIDS and poverty which forces men and women to engage in different activities leading to new roles. With more women diversifying their livelihoods, gender roles are also being impacted. There is a change in gender roles to accommodate responses to the impacts of climate variability. In this study it was evident that women are now are involved in activities that generate earnings, thus reshaping relationships between men and women. The income generated by women through trade is used to sustain the household. Women generating an income also have more opportunities and power to decide what the income can be used for.
The shift is also driven by the country's constitution, gender legislations in the KwaZulu Natal province, the need for women to provide for their families and women's determination to see change that will improve their position in society. Women have also come to realise that it will take more than the constitution and decent laws to end gender inequalities. They strongly believe that in addition to the constitution and the laws, men need to accept the changing role of women in post-apartheid society. Women are aware that the constitution and the laws simply provide an enabling environment and a platform, from which women can voice their concerns. The rest depends on their determination to make the laws and the constitution work to for them.
The study shows that women are very knowledgeable and innovative with regards to coping with the impacts of the changing climate. Lessons can be drawn from their knowledge on how women can be better assisted to adapt to climate change. Results confirm that women play an important role in supporting households and communities to cope and adapt to climate variability.
The study strongly recommends that to effectively address issues of gender and climate change, focus must not only be on negative gender experiences but also assess and acknowledge progress that has been made in addressing gender issues and social changes that have taken place and lead to changes in gender relations. Lessons from positive experiences can be used to guide the way forward in achieve gender equality.
Mainstreaming gender into climate change is very critical and requires a holistic approach. While addressing issues relating to gender inequality it is also vital to look beyond gender inequality and assess the different needs and choices that men and women make that eventually impact on their way of life and the way they respond to climate related impacts.

The Letter Writer
Fesperman, Dan
"February 1942: Woodrow Cain arrives in New York City from a small North Carolina town having left behind a wife (who'd abandoned him), a daughter, and a career as a police officer marred by questions about his possible complicity in his partner's murder. A job in the NYPD gives him what he hopes will be a new beginning, and it's on the job that he meets a man called Danzinger. Dressed like a "strange old mystic," Danzinger nonetheless has the manners of a man of means and education and speaks five languages. And he can help Cain identify the body just found floating in the Hudson River. But who exactly is Danzinger? A writer of letters for illiterate immigrants on Manhattan's Lower East Side, he has seemingly boundless knowledge of the city and its denizens. And he seems to know much more than he's telling Cain: not just about the identity of the dead man, but about the how and why of his death, and how it puts Cain--and perhaps his daughter and the woman he's fallen in love with--in harm's way. But even Danzinger can't see that the more he and Cain investigate, the nearer they are to the center of a web of corruption, abject cynicism, and possibly traitorous activities from which they may never be able to extricate themselves"-- Provided by publisher.

This was a somewhat random pick, simply based on the short blurb description. It has turned out to be much more 'connected' than I ever imagined to current events & historical facts in the build up to WWII. I tried to not race ahead or read the end comments first.
First off Festerman comments on landmarks of NY City (a place I've never been nor care to visit.) Bellevue Hospital and the morgue tie in so nicely to a fascinating book by David Oshinsky, one I have heard several times because it's so packed with amazing facts. A highly recommend read or audio with no dull moments.
Secondly it ties so nicely to the present consternations of the so-called 'America First' theme just like the cozy up to Hitler by Charles Lindbergh and Joseph P Kennedy, the highly regarded 'America Patriots'. Reference Crosscut.com for the very real associations to the Silver Shirts & America First societies. It's a wonder the US is not required to speak another language, salute a certain nasty figure & wipe out all people who only look like the founding fathers. Yes, a read that gives food for thought.

Dan Fesperman accomplished a simple plot with this novel. I like the pace of his writing ... nor fast or slow. I also like that way the he combined true events with fiction.

Just got back from my short vacations with dear wife. Can't wait to get home but I still drive between the law. Don't wanna receive any unwelcome tickets for speeding. As we say in NA, Speed Kills! The first thing I do after reaching home is to open up my beloved computer, leaving my sweet wife to unpacked the baggages. For that I received a loving smirked from her. Thank you, my sweetheart for your understanding.
As predicted, I got bagful of emails which I gonna sort out later. The best is I got a new comment for Narcotics Anonymous 12 Steps - Step 8. It was from the highly acclaimed free-lance writer, TwoDogsBlogging.
On Thursday (Feb. 22nd) is my birthday but last Monday my sisters held a surprise birthday's party for me. Actually it was held for the three of us. First it was for my wonderful niece who is celebrating her Sweet Severteen birthday on Feb. 16th. Then it was for my mother too. She's celebrating her 65th birthday on the same date as mine. That's why I'm her "Anak Umi" as in Mamma's Boy!
They said a picture paint a thousand words. So, below are pictures taken last Monday, celebrating birthday Malaysian style. There's also an article about Methadone and the song, a live version by Dire Straits because I'm the Sultan of Swing. Enjoy it as much as I do.
Methadone Today is the official newsletter of Detroit Organizational Needs in Treatment (DONT). DONT is a methadone advocacy group organized by methadone patients to return dignity to methadone maintenance treatment and to protect the rights of patients. The idea of a methadone advocacy organization was conceptualized in March of 1995 when the DEA raided a Detroit methadone clinic. The groups agreed that there was a great need for patient unity to correct the damage that had been done and to thwart further involvement of the DEA in methadone treatment. DONT works to correct the misconceptions about methadone maintenance treatment and overcome the prejudice directed against methadone patients, strives to educate communities and policy makers about the benefits of methadone treatment, responds to the negative and sensationalized media, advocates for treatment on demand, and provides a platform whereby methadone patients can express their concerns about their quality of life.
Well, then! I get to be the first blogger to say Selamat Pagi, Noor Azman, and Happy Birthday to you!
Nice to have you "home" after your holiday. Thank you for sharing your family with us -- they are beautiful and everyone looks very happy and peaceful.
Peace and Happy Brithday again!!!!!
P.S. Send me your questions. I am ready!
It is really beautiful to see your culture and more so, that you can enjoy your life and all the beauty in it because you are clean today.
Happy Birthday Noor, its great to be back on your blog, I couldnt get in before I dont know why.
Really enjoyed reading your latest post, I have been talking to this Russian lady by email which is very interesting as well.
I dont know much about methodone and I am so thankful for that but I did get hooked at one point to inhaling petrol fumes so it seems I can get addicted to anything.
I soon stopped that though when I wound up in Pinderfields burns unit for 13 weeks!
Happy Happy Birthday Noor, what a great gift to be able to share All of You with your family and friends! You are proof of the miracle!
Happy Belated Birthday Noor. It sounds like a grand celebration.
Hey happy birthday Noor! I'm nipping in to a Sponsees birthday in the west end in a mo.
I LOVE the pics of your 'do'. very cool if you ask me. They look like LOVELY people.
Have you heard of 'spirit' photography? Its not exactly an art or anything. more a happy accident. But do you realize you have a 'special' photo? the one at the bottom. See the two funny looking circles on the guy with the blue shirt? Those are 'energies' or 'spirits' of some sort. spirits aren't the same as ghosts. spirits are more cool than that. they are a GOOD sign. like a guardian angel or something. as opposed to a random etheric person wandering about. Its a good omen! I've seen loads of these before in pics. they just show up randomly. it might mean that your friend has powerful friends on the other side, or that he has guardian spirits. or that he is an old soul with connections to other beings. who knows. obviously this is totally unproveable and could be utter hogwash, but i thought you might be interested. I always look for these if i ever take photos and I havnt got round to 'catching' on eon camera, which always p***es me off when i see a bunch of new photos. They only show up next to 'good' things. I've seen them in pics of religious ceremonies and in some building photos. they are very cool i think..
Happy Birthday, a few days late! Glad you had a good holiday.
Much love in those pictures! Happy Birthday Mamma's boy!
Hey, sorry I missed your B-Day too.
I am going to finally meet Squeaky Door this sunday!!!

"... A year or so before his death in 1788, Thomas Gainsborough made a series of chalk sketches of 'a poor smith worn out by labour'. In some of them, the smith appears as a woodman, carrying or sitting upon a bundle of faggots; and though woodmen appear in a large number of his drawings and paintings from the 1750s onwards, these particular sketches seem originally to have been made in preparation for what he was to regard as his greatest picture, 'The Woodman', executed in 1787 and destroyed by fire in 1810 ..."

These figures, all of them represented in paintings exhibited in the Paris Salons of the 1750s, all share the same oubli de soi, are all engaged in 'absorptive' states which create the fiction that we, the spectators, are not there: in forgetting themselves, they forget us too ..."

But whatever the differences between them, the most vocal participants in this debate were all finally on the same side, arguing with a largely silent (either stunned or indifferent) opposition to establish that there was a politics of landscape painting, that it needed to be understood in the context of landownership, agricultural improvement, the management of the rural poor, the changing economic relation between town and country and so on ..."

They never arrived, nicked, we presume, by a postal worker with a thing for blue movies. I like to think he wasn't too disappointed.

Mumbai, April 9 - An investigation into allegations that ICICI Bank extended a loan with a potential conflict of interest raises questions over the bank's governance and creates reputational risks, credit rating agency Fitch Ratings said on April 9.
Fitch will closely monitor developments, and would take appropriate rating action if risks to the banks' reputation and financial profile were to rise considerably, it said in a statement.
The allegation relates to a $500 million loan to Videocon Group, whose controlling shareholder co-founded a separate company with the spouse of ICICI's CEO Chanda Kochhar.
A significant portion of the loan has since become non-performing.
The ICICI Bank's board has denied any wrongdoing, highlighting that the loan was underwritten in accordance with the bank's credit standards and was extended as part of a consortium involving over 20 banks.
The bank has stressed that it has not given any credit to the borrower group outside of the consortium.
"Nevertheless, the presence of the bank's CEO on this credit committee - and the bank's reluctance to support an independent probe - have, in our opinion, created doubts over the strength of its corporate governance practices," Fitch said.
Fitch believes corporate governance at private banks, like ICICI, is generally stronger than at state-owned banks due to better-qualified board members and more professional management.
"Moreover, compensation structures at private banks are more performance-oriented, while a large and diversified investor base encourages greater management accountability. These assumptions could come under question if the investigations expose misconduct at ICICI," Fitch said.
The credit rating agency said, the investigation could also undermine investor confidence in the bank, with potential implications for funding costs and liquidity in an extreme scenario, although its status as a systemically important bank implies it will benefit from some form of state support.
"Meanwhile, there is a potential risk of financial penalties, as well as legal action, if the investigation comes up with findings against the bank."
Fitch said, ICICI Bank's rating is underpinned by relatively strong capitalisation and profitability.
"Core capitalisation was 14.2% in December 2017, among the highest in the sector. Losses on the loan in question would be unlikely to significantly undermine ICICI's financial profile - in particular, its core capitalisation would remain strong even if the loan were completely written off," it added.

Glastonbury sells out on news that 'there will be face-painting'
Wrenfoe
Booking lines have been inundated, with festival goers hoping to experience the once in a lifetime experience of having a sparkly butterfly drawn on their face, by someone with a GCSE in art but business degree from LSE. Fortunately Glastonbury fans have not been put off by the cost of £248 tickets, especially now that there will be a unique opportunity to 'see a guy with dreads, walking on stilts'.
Tickets sold out in just over half an hour, as soon as the rumour broke that there might be some kind bouncy castle. Said one attendee: 'Normally it's just boring old bands but this year there's going to be balloon animals!'
About 200,000 people are due to attend the festival at Worthy Farm, making the queues for the Punch and Judy tent particularly long. Festival goers can expect be harassed by jugglers of every ethnicity, have unprotected sex with a range of mime artists and win a party bag filled with poppers, just not the fun kind.
Not only is Glastonbury the world's largest green-field festival, it also boasts the longest game of Pass the Parcel. Yet, organiser Emily Eavis denied that the event was starting to resemble a toddler's birthday party, as the only jelly being eaten would be by Sir Paul McCartney – due to problems with his dentures.
