The Six Lessons of Kiva
by: Guy Kawasaki
Stanford Magazine has a terrific article about Kiva called "Small Change, Big Payoff" by Cynthia Haven. This is the story of how Matt and Jessica Jackely Flannery created it to enable people to make micro loans to entrepreneurs around the world.
The results are awesome: more than 123,000 people have loaned more than $12.4 million to 18,000 entrepreneurs. In fact, there so many lenders that there's has been limits so that everyone can make a loan. The process involves reading a short profile about each entrepreneur and then deciding which to fund. From beginning to end, you can make a loan in under five minutes if you're a slow typist. Lenders do not earn interest though the micro-finance organizations that helped Kiva find the entrepreneur does. Entrepreneurs pay 99.67 percent of the loans.
Here are some lessons that any entrepreneur can learn from the Kiva phenomenon:
Create meaningful partnerships. Most entrepreneurs create partnerships to impress investors, journalists, customers, and parents. Hence, most partnership as bull shiitake. The best test of a partnership is whether its existence requires that you change numbers in a spreadsheet. No changes = b.s. partnership. In the case of Kiva, it has sixty seven partnerships with micro-finance organizations. It is these organizations that provide the "leads" for lenders to fund.
Also, Kiva has partnerships with PayPal (free transactions), Google (free traffic) as well as with Yahoo!, Micorosft, MySpace, and YouTube. As you can imagine, these kinds of partnerships do make you reboot Excel.
Catalyze and support evangelism. Like Apple, Harley-Davidson, and Tivo, evangelism starts with a great product, and Kiva has one. When you have a great product, then evangelists will appear, and Kiva has 250 active volunteers—what I would label "evangelists." Kiva has really institutionalized evangelism if you ask me.
Find a business model. You'd be surprised how many people wave their hands or avoid the topic of business model completely. Kiva's model is a minimum $2.50 voluntary fee that lenders pay when checking out their "shopping cart." If I understand this right: lenders receive no interest and pay a voluntary fee to Kiva in order to loan money. And you thought Google had a great business model—wow, as Wayne and Garth said, "We're not worthy."
"Bank" on unproven people. What would the ideal background be of the founder of Kiva? Investment banker from Goldman, Sachs? Vice president of the World Bank? Vice president of the Peace Corp? Vice president of the Rockefeller Foundation? Partner at McKinsey? How about temporary administrative assistant at the Stanford Business School? Because that's how Jessica started her quest. The spark that lit the fire was a speech by Muhammed Yunus, founder of the Grameem Bank and Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Focus on free marketing. Kiva launched in 2005 with seven businesses in Uganda. The first "marketing" was sending out an email to the wedding invitation list of Jessica and Matt. All seven businesses were funded in a weekend. Then the Daily Kos picked up their story from a hacked together press release. Then PBS's Frontline covered the organization and loan volume went from $3,000 to $30,000 over night. No road show. No Demo. No TechCrunch 40.
Ignore the naysayers. The Flannerys got a lot of advice that you can't send money around the Internet without government approval; that Kiva couldn't scale beyond a few African villages; that a non-profit couldn't offer an investment product; and that it would violate SEC regulations as well as the Patriot Act. Besides this, Kiva was a no-brainer. :-)
Yup, there's a lot any entrepreneur can learn from the Kiva story. More importantly, why don't you go to its web site and make a loan? You could co-invest with me in Chhorn Yan, mother of six in Cambodia, who needs capital to expand her home-based, offline grocery store. One way to look at this is we could fund one Webvan or 800,000 Chhorn Yans.

Making energy from waste : 25 MW Rachna Power Plant on the cards
LAHORE: National Industrial Parks (NIP) Development and Management Company has decided to establish a 25 megawatt (MW) power generation plant based on municipal and agro waste besides local coal or combination of these fuels for the electricity requirement of the industries at the Rachna Industrial Park on the main Lahore-Sheikhupura Road.
The Rachna Power Plant will be the first-ever power unit to be developed on the basis of waste as a source of energy. The plant's primary fuel will be Refused Derive Fuel (RDF) prepared from a mixture of municipal solid wastes and agro wastes, while the coal would be used as a backup fuel.
The technology of an integrated recovery of recyclable materials and production of the refused derive fuel will be adopted for this power plant.
The concept of the modern waste to energy plant has been proposed for the Rachna Power Plant, which is very different from the old incinerators due to the technological progress of the last decade.
Chief Executive Officer Mohsin Syed at NIP meeting in which investors of the Rechna Industrial Park were also present said the municipal solid waste of Lahore and surrounding area and the agro wastes, which including rice husk, corn and wood waste of the adjoining areas would be collected and transported to recycle it into a real fuel that could be easily stored, transported and efficiently burned at the plant site within the premises of the Rachna Industrial Park.
He said the power generation complex was proposed to consist of one unit of 6 MW and two units of 11 MW each with total gross capacity of the 28 MW and the net capacity at site would be 25.5 MW to provide operational flexibility and reliability in case of shut down of one or more units.
The power generation facility would be located within the premises of the Rachna Industrial Park located at 7.5 kilometers (km) Lahore-Sheikhupura Road on the Upper Chenab Canal. The site is at the distance of 18 km from the
Lahore-Shekhupura Motorway Interchange, 24 km from the Lahore city centre and 40 km from the Allama Iqbal International Airport Lahore and an area of 10 acres has already been earmarked for the power generation complex at the Rachna Industrial Park, the NIP chief explained.

So you're about to become a mom for the first time. It's an exciting time and there are a few worries as you make plans to welcome the baby. Questions arise about how to do things, about your ability to be a good mother and about what role your husband and other family members will play.
One obvious issue is that of parenting classes. Should you go to one or more? If you do go, will they be of any help?
Well the consensus is that the advantages of going to parenting classes far outweigh the disadvantages. Mind you it's not a straightforward case for everyone. If you live out of town and transport is not too flash, finding the time and the money to get to a class may be difficult. And if the local classes are not free and you are struggling financially, then again going to class is not an easy decision.
But if you are fairly close to a parenting class and particularly if they are free – and most are – then by all means go along and boost your skills and your confidence.
One of the main benefits is in making new friends. You will meet other new moms and chances are they are experiencing the same sorts of things you are. They will have the same questions and concerns and knowing there are others in same boat as you is a confidence boost in itself.
Then there are skills to learn. How to change a diaper, feeding, bathing and sleep routines. All these issues are discussed and more. And it's always good to know about things before they happen. What if your baby has trouble going to sleep or seems to be crying a lot? What may be the reason for these things and how can you tackle them?
Every new mom wants to be successful and have a happy and healthy baby. Parenting classes are designed to help you every step of the way.
One thing you may discover is that most family members have a tip or piece of advice. Grandmothers in particular may believe they know all about bringing up a baby – after all they brought up the parents of this new baby. And while it's great to hear advice from others, sometimes that advice may be a little strange or even downright wrong.
The truth about giving birth and what is likely to happen in the days and weeks when you take your baby home are explained sensibly and accurately in your local parenting classes.
Now don't forget your partner. If the parenting classes welcome fathers, make sure you invite the other parent along. Caring for baby is a team effort and changing diapers can be done just as easily and as expertly by a man as by a woman. At least that's what you need to tell your husband who may try and avoid his parenting responsibilities!
Being pregnant is a busy and exciting time. Whatever else you do, take the time to attend parenting classes where you can relax and really make yourself the best mother you can be.

Black Holes' Cosmic 'Choir Singers' Finally Identified
By Nola Taylor Redd 29 July 2016
The blue dots in this field of galaxies, known as the COSMOS field, show galaxies that contain supermassive black holes emitting high-energy X-rays.

The frenzied feeding of gigantic black holes fills the universe with powerful X-rays, creating ever-present background "music."
Although this music's melody is easily identified by scientists, the individual singers have long remained obscure. Now, new data from NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) spacecraft has begun to identify some of the voices.
"We knew this cosmic choir had a strong high-pitched component, but we still don't know if it comes from a lot of smaller, quiet singers, or a few with loud voices," study co-author Daniel Stern, NuSTAR project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said in a statement. "Now, thanks to NuSTAR, we're gaining a better understanding of the black holes and starting to address these questions." [Gallery: NuSTAR, NASA's Black Hole Hunting Space Telescope]
As black holes' powerful gravity pulls in surrounding gas and dust, some of this material is heated and accelerated to nearly the speed of light. This process unleashes powerful X-ray bursts that sing across space, creating what astronomers call the cosmic X-ray background.

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has managed to identify many of the black holes carrying the melody, but the most energetic objects with the highest-pitched voices have continued to blend into the crowd.
That's changing, however, thanks to NuSTAR.
"We've gone from resolving just 2 percent of the high-energy X-ray background to 35 percent," Fiona Harrison, NuSTAR principal investigator and lead author of the new study describing the findings, said in the same statement. "We can see the most obscured black holes, hidden in thick gas and dust."
Most (if not all) galaxies contain supermassive black holesat their centers. Although the Milky Way's black hole is relatively quiet today, it must have gobbled up a great deal of "food" in the past to grow to its present size — about 4.5 million times the mass of the sun, previous observations found.
The new study, which has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal, will help astronomers understand how black hole feeding patterns change over time, the researchers said.
NuSTAR is the first telescope capable of probing the high-energy X-ray songs of black holes. It has revealed a black hole bounty since its 2012 launch.
"Before NuSTAR, the X-ray background in high energies was just one blur with no unresolved sources," said Harrison, a professor at the California Institute of Technology. "To untangle what's going on, you have to pinpoint and count up the individual sources of the X-rays."

Weird object flying upwards to the sky.
What could this be. Paper bag? bird? UFO? a humanoid?
This video was posted onto YouTube by mastr139. They describe the video by asking what is this? UFO?? HUMANOID??? CRAZY FLYING OBJECT??
They said they were taking a shower when they saw the crazy object flying by their backdoor and neighbours house, they quickly grabbed their phone and shot the video.
One comment suggested it was a balloon, however mastr139 said that the object was moving straight up and if it was a balloon the wind would have caused it to fly to the left.


I thought it would be nice to supply various save games for Daggerfall. Since we currently have lots of disk space, feel free to submit your ZIPed save game with a short description to the Webmaster.
I try to run all save games with the FIXSAVE utility before testing them out.
Most of the save games have been successfully loaded on my machine.
Saved games should be loaded with a patched version greater than or equal to the version it was saved as. It is possible to load a v2.13 game in say v1.79 but this is not reccommended.
To use the save game merely backup any of the SAVE0-5 directories in Daggerfall directory (if you want to keep that save game). Delete all files and uUnzip one of the saved games into this directory.
Enjoy the games and let me know of any problems with them.

What Should You Know About Quitting Xanax?

How to Stop Using Xanax
Xanax is a brand name for alprazolam, a short-acting central nervous system depressant prescribed for anxiety and panic disorders. Xanax is commonly abused for the feelings of wellbeing and calm it can provide.
Xanax addiction and abuse can have serious consequences, and withdrawing from the drug can produce severe and even life-threatening symptoms.1
Many people become psychologically dependent on Xanax to help them stay relaxed in social situations. Because people tend to rely on the drug as a coping mechanism, Xanax can be difficult to quit. While it may be tempting to continue to use Xanax to help combat anxiety, the benefits of quitting outweigh the perceived benefits of continuing to use.
Benefits of quitting Xanax include:
Improved mental and physical functioning: Long-term abuse of Xanax can lead to memory loss, impaired coordination, depression, confusion, and agitation.1 Quitting can relieve these symptoms and allow the user to live life without constantly being under the influence of Xanax or recovering from its effects.
No longer needing to rely on the drug to feel better: People who learn how to manage anxiety and stress without Xanax will not be dependent on the drug to cope with everyday life.
Dramatic reduction or elimination of the risk of long-term consequences: Abusing Xanax long-term can lead to problems with relationships, employment, and finances. Quitting can lead to improvements in these areas while also preventing other problems such as accidents due to the drug's side effects.
Quitting Xanax on your own can be extremely difficult and, during acute withdrawal, can even result in some life-threatening health complications. Attending a treatment program ensures that you are provided with quality mental and physical health care and greatly increases your chances of recovery.
Medically assisted detox, which can take place in an inpatient or outpatient setting, is usually the first step in the recovery process. Your physician will help you slowly lower your dose over time to minimize withdrawal symptoms. In cases of severe addiction, your doctor may recommend 24-hour monitoring in a facility during the withdrawal period and may prescribe additional medications to help ensure a safe detox experience.
Following detoxification, it is recommended that you transition into a treatment program that includes therapy and relapse prevention. Treatment options for Xanax addiction include:
Inpatient treatment: Many people choose to leave the comfort of home to stay in a residential treatment center on a 24/7 basis for a period ranging from 28 to 90 days or longer. Inpatient treatment is highly recommended for those with severe, recurring, and multiple addictions, since it minimizes the chance of relapse. Inpatient care is highly structured, and contact with the outside world is limited. Treatment typically includes medically assisted detox, counseling, therapy, support groups, 12-step programs and, in some cases, alternative therapies. Luxury amenities such as spa treatments, gourmet meals, and private rooms are also offered at some facilities.
Outpatient treatment: Outpatient rehab takes place in on a part-time basis. Users attend support groups, educational meetings, and detox appointments at the outset of the treatment program, if necessary. People who participate in these programs do not live at the rehab facility and can still attend work or school during treatment.
Individual or group counseling and therapy: Counseling and therapy are crucial to the recovery process. They help address the reasons a person became addicted to Xanax in the first place and enhance self-esteem and overall mental health. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques are often used to help the user learn to cope with stress and triggers that may make them want to use. Motivational interviewing and stress-reduction techniques may be used as well. Group counseling is also important, as recovering users will be both supported and challenged by peers. Therapy can also help users address any co-occurring mental health disorders that may contribute to their addiction to Xanax.
12-step programs: Participants are provided with structure and support in these programs. They follow a step-by-step process to recovery with the support of the group and a sponsor.
Aftercare Programs
Recovery is an ongoing process that does not end after initial treatment, and it is much more challenging to maintain sobriety outside of the treatment environment. Aftercare programs help people in recovery from Xanax addiction stay sober and avoid relapse. Some aftercare treatment options include:
Sober living communities: Many people choose to live in a residential sober living community after treatment. This provides recovering users with a safe, supportive, drug-free environment where they are surrounded by peers who can relate to their struggles. These communities offer some of the same treatment approaches as initial rehab, along with other services such as job placement, recovery coaching, and social activities.
Relapse prevention: Relapse prevention is perhaps the most important component of aftercare treatment. It helps users identify and assess high-risk thoughts and behaviors that may trigger a relapse and learn to effectively deal with them using specific techniques and strategies.
12-step programs: Twelve-step programs typically continue after treatment on a weekly basis to help users maintain sobriety.
Outpatient visits: Many recovering Xanax users will continue to visit their physician on an ongoing basis to address overall physical health, stay clean, and treat any co-occurring mental health disorders. Other forms of outpatient addiction therapy may be beneficial well after completion of the initial treatment period.
Counseling: Individual and group counseling may continue long after treatment to help users cope with the challenges on their continued path to recovery.
Support groups: Many people continue to attend weekly meetings for years after initial treatment to help maintain sobriety through peer support.

Xanax can cause physiological and psychological dependence, especially in those who abuse the drug. Recreational users are significantly more likely to experience withdrawal symptoms, and the risk of withdrawal increases at doses higher than 4 mg per day. The risk of psychological dependence is also increased in those with other substance use disorders or a family history of addiction and mental illness.1
Withdrawal symptoms usually begin to appear within 6-8 hours after the user's last dose of Xanax. The symptoms peak in intensity on the second day and start to improve by the fourth or fifth day.6 The psychological symptoms of Xanax withdrawal can be difficult to distinguish from general anxiety.
The most common symptoms of Xanax withdrawal are:1
Impaired concentration.
Dysphoria (sense of unease) ranging from mild to severe.
Muscle cramps and twitches.
Diarrhea.
Decrease in appetite.
Heightened sensory perception, often to the point of discomfort.
Clouded senses.
Blurred vision.
Sweating.
Vomiting.
Abdominal and muscle cramps.
Pins-and-needles sensation on the skin.
Rebound anxiety and panic disorder symptoms.
Tremors.
Depression and suicidal thoughts.
Seizures (usually only in those who abruptly stop using).
Because withdrawal symptoms can be severe and life-threatening, medically supervised detox is recommended. In cases of severe addictions and long-term use, 24-hour monitoring and supervision by a qualified medical team may be necessary. Some withdrawal symptoms will typically occur even when a person is purposely tapering as the body adjusts to lowered amounts of the drug in the system.
Get some form of professional help: Quitting Xanax is difficult to do alone and can be dangerous due to the symptoms of withdrawal. Once you've made the decision to quit, seek the help of a medical professional or rehabilitation facility as soon as possible.
Address the reasons you became addicted to Xanax: Many people begin using Xanax to treat or self-medicate their anxiety. To improve your chances of recovery and long-term sobriety, you'll need to seek treatment for any co-occurring mental health disorders.
Learn to cope with triggers and stress without Xanax: See a psychologist or counselor to help you learn coping skills to manage stress and triggers that may make you want to use Xanax. If you know that certain people, places, or experiences will make you more likely to use, avoid them whenever possible.
Seek support when needed: Quitting Xanax may prove to be one of the biggest challenges of your life. Don't hesitate to reach out to your family or friends for support when needed.
Attend support groups: Support groups can provide encouragement from other people who can empathize with your situation.
Practice healthy habits: Practicing healthy habits, such as eating a balanced diet and exercising daily, can help reduce the physical and psychological effects of withdrawal and help decrease the risk of relapse.
Try natural and alternative treatments for anxiety: The Anxiety and Depression Association of America recommends the following alternative treatments for anxiety: yoga, meditation, relaxation techniques, acupuncture, massage therapy, art and recreational therapy, biofeedback, and dietary supplements and herbs.4
If someone you care about has a problem with Xanax, you can try the following approaches to help get them into a recovery program:5
Be compassionate and supportive: Address the person in a kind, loving manner that shows your genuine concern.
Urge the person to seek professional help and medically assisted detox: Recommend that the person taper off Xanax slowly with the help of a physician, rather than attempting to quit cold turkey.
Never approach the person with blame, guilt, judgment, or anger: This will only isolate you from the person. Instead, be as compassionate and supportive as possible. Avoid preaching or lecturing.
Stay involved and be supportive throughout the recovery process: Understand that recovery is an ongoing process, and the person will need your help before, during and after treatment.
Stop making excuses or taking responsibility for the person's behavior: Be as supportive as possible without becoming so involved that it affects your emotional and physical health.
Seizures can occur during withdrawal, especially when people rapidly decrease the dosage.
Quitting Xanax cold turkey is dangerous because withdrawal symptoms can be severe and life-threatening. Seizures can occur during withdrawal, especially when people quit abruptly or rapidly decrease their dosage. People with epilepsy or those with a history of seizures should never attempt to quit cold turkey.
Withdrawal is both psychologically and physically unpleasant, which causes users to crave the drug to alleviate the symptoms. Even the most determined people trying to quit Xanax may relapse during the withdrawal period. Those trying to quit Xanax, regardless of the severity and duration of the addiction, should consider doing so in a recovery center under medical supervision.
Xanax can be very difficult to quit. The withdrawal period can last weeks and even months.
The psychological effects of withdrawal can also lead many people to relapse. Most people start using Xanax to help cope with anxiety and deal with stress, so it may be difficult to take part in everyday activities without the drug. Rebound anxiety and insomnia typically occur during withdrawal, too, so many people may start using again to stop these symptoms. Some people may also experience depression and suicidal thoughts during withdrawal.1,2
Quitting Xanax may not be easy, but it is achievable. The first step to recovering from Xanax addiction is recognizing that you need help. The second step is to ask for it. People should never try to quit Xanax alone. If you or someone you love is ready to quit using Xanax, contact an addiction treatment professional or rehab facility immediately to begin treatment.

Reilly blazes trail in Hout Bay
Sport / 29 July 2018, 2:15pm / Stephen Granger
Kane Reilly won the 16th Hout Bay Trail Challenge in record breaking time. Photo: Stephen Granger
Back from international competition in Europe, Kane Reilly raised the South African trail running bar to new levels with a superb record-breaking victory in the 16th Hout Bay Trail Challenge on Saturday.
Two hundred and fifty participants, running solo or in teams, completed the challenging 40km circuit of Hout Bay mountain peaks in perfect conditions, starting and finishing at the harbour and summiting Karbonkelberg, Suther Peak, Llandudno Ravine, the Back Table and Vlakkenberg before traversing Constantiaberg and descending to East Fort for a final beach crossing.
By his standards, Reilly had below-par performances at Zegama in Spain and Mont Blanc in France in the past six weeks - the first two of the high profile Golden Trail Series. Bad sinusitis scuppered his chances at Mont Blanc, where his fifth place the previous year had promised hopes of a top 10 finish.
But Hout Bay is Reilly's happy hunting ground. Having achieved the unthinkable by breaking the four-hour barrier for the new, longer course last year in 3hr 59min 34sec, he simply cranked up the ante, racing clear from early on to cross the finish line in 3:54:34 - exactly five minutes inside his time last year.
"I wasn't sure whether I would be able to go for the record today," admitted Reilly, "but I felt relaxed and strong and was able to race well. The presence of top athletes like Ben Brimble and Robbie Rorich in the field made me keep up the pace as I was expecting them to challenge me."
Robert Shaff, running the first leg in the mixed team competition, stayed within contact of Reilly for the first half of the climb up Karbonkelberg, before conceding.
Brimble placed second, almost half an hour behind Reilly, with Rorich, who spent time navigating his was back on the trail after running off course more than once, third.
Everygreen veteran, Katya Soggot, was too strong for Sam Reilly – Kane's sister – returning to the scene of her 2010 record-breaking triumph to regain the title in an excellent 4: 59:17.

Chester Cup the highlight on final day of May Festival
The three-day Chester May Festival comes to a close on the Roodee today (Friday) with the highlight of the meeting, the Chester Cup taking centre-stage. We have previewed the pick of action.

The three-day Chester May Festival comes to a close today (Friday) with the highlight of the meeting, the Chester Cup taking centre-stage
As already alluded to, the £125,000 Chester Cup is the highlight of the meeting and is live on ITV4 at 2.45pm with 17 runners going to post.
The 6/1 market leader is Not So Sleepy, a talented hurdler who won the Betfair Exchange Trophy for the second successive year at Ascot in December. He also finished a fine fourth in the Cesarewitch on the Flat at Newmarket in October.
Others towards the head of the market include Rare Groove (17/2) who returned from a 559 day break to finish a good second at Newcastle in March, before going one better at the track in April.
He is progressing with every run and is respected. Future Investment (8/1) was only 11th in the Cesarewitch, but is another capable of further improvement, along with Irish raider Falcon Eight who represents Irish trainer Dermot Weld. The son of Galileo has been gelded since finishing third in a Group company at the Curragh in June.
Hochfeld (12/1) is another to note having finished second at Nottingham on his latest start, whilst Trumpet Man (12/1) has the services of the King of Chester Franny Norton and is also respected. Cardano (12/1) was second in a competitive event at Musselburgh last time out and cannot be overlooked along with Coeur De Lion (12/1), a talented stayer who does however need to rediscover his best form. Themaxwecan (12/1) and Who Dares Wins (12/10 are others who warrant a mention.
Elsewhere on the card, five runners go to post for the £100,000 G2 Huxley Stakes (2.15pm). The exciting Sangarius heads the market as the 11/10 favourite for Sir Michael Stoute. The son of Kingman was a winner at Royal Ascot winner in 2019 and was seen back to his best when successful in the Listed Quebec Stakes at Lingfield in December. He has undergone wind surgery since and looks an exciting prospect for this term.
Armory (2/1) progressed with every run last term, including when scoring in Group company at the Curragh in August. He finished an excellent third to stable companion Magical in the G1 Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown in September, before finishing a fine second in the Cox Plate at Moonee Valley in October. He is capable of further improvement this term.
Bangkok (4/1) was behind Sangarius at Lingfield in December, beaten a nose, but has since gone on to land the Winter Derby and Easter Classic at Lingfield on the All-Weather. He reverts to turf here, but is a big player. Pavalecino (12/1_ was second to Bangkok in the Easter Classic and completes the field along with Bharani Star (28/1), sixth in the Oaks at Epsom last term.

Hollywood star Tea Leoni, visiting Viet Nam as a UNICEF ambassador, on Thursday kicked off a campaign to raise awareness about the plight of children suffering disabilities linked to Agent Orange.
Leoni this week visited families and health centers with children suffering birth defects linked to dioxin, the highly toxic chemical in the defoliant that the US military used here during the Viet Nam War.
"The (US) public, I think, is not aware of some of the specific dioxin issues," the 42-year-old star of "Deep Impact" and "Jurassic Park 3" told reporters at the end of her five-day visit.
"I think there is great compassion from the US and its citizens (and a desire) to want to bridge whatever gap there may be remaining from our time here," said Leoni.
"As a mother, it is a very intense experience to visit with another mother and see her caring for children who are so in need of support and care."
The UNICEF United States Fund aims to raise two million dollars this year and up to five million dollars in coming years to help Vietnamese children with dioxin-linked and other disabilities, said the group's president Caryl Stern.
US forces sprayed about 80 million liters of Agent Orange and other herbicides on south and central Viet Nam to deprive opposing forces of forest cover and food crops.
Washington has rejected responsibility for the millions of people Viet Nam says have suffered direct or second-generation disabilities due to Agent Orange. US officials point to a lack of mutually agreed data.
"I'm not a scientist, I'm not a medical professional, and it has not been proven or disproven to me," said Stern.
"What I see in front of me are children who are disabled in a disproportionate number in the areas where dioxin is at those higher levels."
The United States has funded efforts to clean up a dioxin "hot spot," the Da Nang airport, while Congress last May set aside three million dollars for environmental remediation of dioxin storage sites and for health programs.
A US court last month rejected a case brought against US chemical companies that manufactured Agent Orange and other defoliants.
UNICEF country chief Jesper Morch said the Vietnamese government last year asked the United Nations to help address the environmental and health impacts.
The money raised in the new awareness drive, with help from the Ford Foundation, will help collate data and boost services for tens of thousands of disabled children, linked to Agent Orange or not, Morch said.
Pointing at the current shortage of services, skills and equipment for families and teachers in the developing country, Morch said, "You have teachers working with deaf and mute children who don't know sign language."
In the central city of Da Nang, he said, "Of 64 communes, there is only one commune that has even the semblance of an adequate rehabilitation center, with trained physiotherapists and the tools and equipment disabled children need."

London has been on my bucket list for years so last summer I decided it was time to go. I chose December because it's off-season and everything is a lot cheaper and less crowded. Then one evening, while watching Doc Martin, a popular TV series filmed in Port Isaac, I thought, "I can go there!" Port Isaac is a small fishing village in Cornwall, about a four hour drive from London. In Doc Martin, it's called Portwenn. This also seemed like a great opportunity to see the countryside, so I hired a guide (Richard's Tours) for a two day tour.
My guide recommended several hotels in the area, but while googling, I discovered one called the Stargazy Inn. Naturally, I had to stay there, just because… what better place for an amateur astronomer? But the strange spelling was intriguing, so I did some more googling and discovered that the Inn did not get its name from stargazing. I'll explain later.
Doc Martin souvenirs in a shop in Port Isaac.
Richard picked me up at my London hotel at 6am. About a two hours later we stopped so I could take pictures of Stonehenge. We arrived at Tintagel a couple of hours later. Tintagel is the legendary birthplace of King Arthur. After lunch in Port Isaac we wandered around town, looking at various filming locations for Doc Martin. By late afternoon, he dropped me at the Stargazy Inn and we later met for dinner at The Golden Lion, the pub often featured in the TV series.
Of course it was cloudy almost the entire time I was in Cornwall, so I didn't have the opportunity to do any astrophotography. In fact, the only shots I got of anything other than this planet were of the Moon and Venus – from central London.
A great view at Tintagel.

Here's a link to a 360 panorama of the house.
So how did the Stargazy Inn get its name? Not because of stargazing, but because of a fish pie. The pie is made of sardines along with eggs and potatoes, covered with a pastry crust. It is said to have originated in the village of Mousehole in Cornwall. In the 16th century a fisherman named Bawcock saved the village from starvation by rallying the town's fishermen to go out during very stormy weather. The legend is that the entire catch was baked into a huge pie, thus saving the town from starvation. The fish were skinned and boned, tails and heads removed, before putting them in the pie. The heads poked through the pastry lid, to prove that there were indeed fish in the pie.
The pie was named "stargazy" because the fish appeared to be gazing upward at the stars.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a single restaurant that serves Stargazy Pie. It's still made for celebrations and in a few high-end restaurants, but has otherwise fallen out of fashion. However there are several recipes online and someday I might have to try making it, because by all reports it's delicious.

I think I'll go back to Port Isaac someday, but in the summer. The sun always shines in the fictional town of Portwenn, but not so much in Port Isaac. The dramatic coastline and landscape would be great backdrop for astrophotography.

Doing the Dream: Iyanla Vanzant speaks at Ivy Tech Kokomo about race, togetherness
By Caele Pemberton Kokomo Tribune
By Cara Ball Kokomo Tribune
KOKOMO - Iyanla Vanzant demonstrated why she has become a popular inspirational speaker Thursday night when she was part of Ivy Tech Kokomo's annual "Doing the Dream" event to honor Martin Luther King Jr.
Vanzant, who has written several books and appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show, began by walking and dancing down the Bel Air Events staircase to the song "Takin' it to the Streets," by the Doobie Brothers.
"I know what can make us stronger," she said. "I know what can bring us together, and that's why I chose the great philosophers, The Doobie Brothers."
Vanzant asked the audience to hold hands and just breathe.
"I want you to become conscious for a moment of the life that's in your hand," she said. "We call it holding hands, but really you're holding a life."
The Brooklyn, New York, native talked about her childhood and growing up in a variety of cultures, with black, Cuban and Native American influences. The one culture she didn't connect with as a child, she said, was white culture. She said when she was younger she was a member of the Black Panthers, a black activist group, and she said for a long time she hated white people.
She shared a story of going to a tent meeting for a church group where she was the only black person. The minister asked people to share with the crowd, and as people asked for forgiveness, she said she found herself walking to the front of the group. When the minister asked what she wanted to be forgiven for, she told them she hated white people.
"I said 'I hate white people, and I don't want to hate them anymore,'" Vanzant said. "'I want to be healed.'"
She said several men came and kneeled in front of her, asking her to forgive white people.
"In that moment, I recognized we're all one," she said.
She said people need to be concerned about others around them, as King advocated, and she added that the world needs healing when it comes to understanding people of different backgrounds.
"We need to learn to serve without the expectation of reward or recognition," she said.
At the end of her speech, she took questions from the audience. She was asked for advice on how to have difficult conversations about race issues.
Those conversations probably will be difficult, Vanzant said, but it's important to ask people to have open and honest talks about race, and it's important for people to understand that people of different cultures and experiences will react differently to different situations.
"Don't expect people of color to react the way you would," she said.
Wendy Ndichu, a member of the Black Student Union at Ivy Tech Lafayette, asked Vanzant what students could do to help society and change mindsets despite limited resources. Vanzant said Ndichu should never ask anyone what she should do, but rather seek advice and mentoring from people a few years older than she is.
Ndichu was able to meet Vanzant after the speech, and she said it was inspirational to hear from and talk to someone like Vanzant.
"I suppose my inspiration [for asking my question] comes from seeing somebody who looks just like us," she said. "A black woman, who's made it, who has succeeded, it sort of just gives you an encouragement that you too can do it."
To Ndichu, Vanzant's message was about doing what you can with what you have.
"This is a frequent feeling that I have, that I don't have the resources that I need to impact people, to be a positive impact, to be any sort of impact, but her words were about doing what you can with what you have," Ndichu said. "It gives you no excuse. And don't ask anybody anything of how you're going to do it."

Red Horse is a trio made up of Eliza Gilkyson, John Gorka and Lucy Kaplansky.
• What percent of the general populace has to at least recognize all the participants' names for something to qualify as a "supergroup"?
• Are there really "supergroups" anymore, in this era of anyone playing and recording with anyone?
• Is the term "folk supergroup" actually an oxymoron?
• Is this just a clone of the "folk supergroup" Cry Cry Cry, in which Kaplansky was also a principal?
The adoring folk fan will gush that Red Horse is a unique ensemble that has no predecessor. The slightly skeptical observer might intone that this trio is clearly based on the rousing success of Cry Cry Cry, of which Lucy Kaplansky was indeed a member (with Dar Williams and Richard Shindell). That group had the dual effect of being popular in its own right and also helping to re-energize the solo careers of its participants.
The adoring folk fan might suggest that the material is simply wonderful on "Red Horse." The slightly skeptical observer might point out that Cry Cry Cry at least did other songwriters' material. On "Red Horse," though Gorka does contribute one new original, the rest of the material is made up of three covers; the remainder of the disc (eight tracks) is Gorka singing an older Kaplansky tune, Kaplansky singing an older Gilkyson tune, Gilkyson singing an older Gorka tune and round and round. It feels a bit self-congratulatory.

Recently, I (my wife left 2 minutes in…mumble, mumble I'm not gonna like this…mumble, mumble) watched Inception . I thought it was a good movie that kept you on your toes just following which dream level they were in and the plot line for that sequence. I really like the idea of dream invasion and the planting of an idea is great for a movie plot. After watching the movie, I'm still not sure if all of the dreams are completed…I feel like there is one more that he won't let go of, unlike his wife. I think this kind of plot lends itself more to a TV series than a movie series, but they may be able to work it out. They could certainly take the alternate side and show the defensive training to protect from dream invasions. Likes: Dream in a Dream in a Dream, the Architect role, the montage scene (I like montages…reminds me of Team America or Family Guy ) Dislikes: Unwilling-ness to share his faults with others that could have jeopardized the mission, his willing-ness to test this idea on his wife I'll give it a 9/10, I was into it, it definitely didn't seem that long.
The borzoi (/ˈbɔrzɔɪ/, literally "fast") is a breed of domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) also called the Russian wolfhound and descended from dogs brought to Russia from central Asian countries. It is similar in shape to a greyhound, and is also a member of the sighthound family. The system by which Russians over the ages named their sighthounds was a series of descriptive terms, not actual names. "Borzói" is the masculine singular form of an archaic Russian adjective that means "fast"."Borzáya sobáka" ("fast dog") is the basic term used by Russians, though the word "sobáka" is usually dropped. The name "Psovaya" derived from the word Psovina, meaning "wavy, silky coat", just as "Hortaya" (as in Hortaya Borzaya) means shorthaired. In Russia today the breed we know as borzoi is therefore officially called "Russkaya Psovaya Borzaya". Other Russian sighthound breeds are "Stepnaya Borzaya" (from the steppe), called "Stepnoi"; and "Krimskaya Borzaya" (from the Crimea), called "Krimskoi". The plural "borzois" may be found in dictionaries. However, the Borzoi Club of America asserts "borzoi" is the preferred form for both singular and plural (in Russian, the plural is actually "borzýe"). At least one manual of grammatical style rules that the breed name should not be capitalized except at the beginning of a sentence; again, breed fanciers usually differ, and capitalize it wherever found. Borzoi are large Russian sighthounds which look similar to a number of central Asian breeds such as the Afghan hound, Saluki and the Kyrgyz Taigan. As a general approximation, "long-haired greyhound" is a useful description. Borzoi can come in almost any color or color combination.The long top-coat is silky and quite flat, with varying degrees of waviness or curling. The soft undercoat thickens in winter or cold climates, but is shed in hot weather to prevent overheating. In its texture and distribution over the body, the borzoi coat is unique. The borzoi coat is silky and flat, often wavy or slightly curly. Borzoi males frequently reach in excess of 100 pounds (45 kg), ~120 pounds. Males should stand at least 30 inches (about 80 centimeters) at the shoulder, while females should not be less than 26 inches (about 66 centimeters). Despite their size, the overall impression is of streamlining and grace, with a curvy shapeliness and compact strength.

State pays ACLU over $1.4M under Pence
April 19, 2016 | Dave Stafford
Keywords Abortion / American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana / attorney fees / Courts / Gov. Mike Pence / Gov. Mitch Daniels / Government / Immigration / lawsuit / neglect
Prosecutor suspended by DeSantis loses bid to get job back
Supreme Court leak report findings: Lax security, loose lips
Protesters rallying at the Statehouse April 9 against a new Indiana law restricting access to abortion foreshadowed another costly court battle over a divisive social issue. If recent history is a guide, the court fight will cost taxpayers not just the state's expense of defending House Enrolled Act 1337, but also the legal fees for Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky to sue the state over the law.
Under the administration of Gov. Mike Pence, legal fees paid to the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana have soared beyond $1.4 million and may approach $2 million, according to an Indiana Lawyer analysis. The $1.4 million total does not include fees that have been or will be paid in the current fiscal year ending June 30 or other legal fees ACLU claims are owed by the state. The fees represent the state's payment of legal bills to parties who prevail in federal court on claims that government action violated their constitutionally protected civil rights.
The $1.4 million taxpayers paid the ACLU in legal fees during Pence's term is more than double the amount paid during second term of his predecessor, Gov. Mitch Daniels, according to available state records. Since Pence took office, $1,461,700 in fees has been paid to ACLU by the attorney general's office, which represents the state in litigation. By contrast, payments to ACLU during Daniels' second term were about $700,000.
Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law professor John L. Hill teaches constitutional law and said the increase isn't all Pence's fault. "I think some of it has to do with new challenges to old policies — like the 7th Circuit challenge to Indiana's traditional marriage law.
"At least some of this is the result of the changing social/cultural environment which makes some of these challenges more attractive/palatable, i.e. winnable," Hill said in an email.
Pence took office Jan. 1, 2013, halfway through that fiscal year. During Daniels' portion of FY 2013, state claims records show only $25,894 was paid to ACLU, but much of that fiscal year's $334,903 in ACLU claims — and some in later years — reflects litigation expenses that originated during Daniels' administration.
Nevertheless, the claims history and likely future costs under Pence show a trend of soaring fees that likely will continue in part due to constitutional lawsuits over the governor's positions on hot-button social issues.
The ACLU represents Planned Parenthood in a suit filed April 7 that seeks to block HEA 1337 from taking effect July 1. The new law would prohibit abortions because of genetic abnormality, race, sex or ancestry, and would mandate disposal of an aborted fetus only through burial or cremation. Before its passage, opponents warned the bill raised an unconstitutional burden to the right to abortion and that its enactment would be met with a federal lawsuit.
Planned Parenthood's suit is the third the ACLU filed on its behalf in recent years seeking to block an act of the General Assembly restricting access to abortion that was signed into law either by Pence or Daniels. In the two prior suits, the Indiana laws were ruled unconstitutional, resulting in the state cutting checks to the ACLU for Planned Parenthood's legal fees — $170,342 in 2013, and for $122,945 last year.
During the Pence years, ACLU also has fought and won cases — and clients' legal fees — contesting state laws regarding who may marry, who may perform marriages, and other hotly contested social issues. Taxpayers picked up the tab for plaintiffs' legal fees in each case because court rulings found state violations of civil rights. Among these cases, the state paid ACLU $149,933 last year for representing couples in suits that successfully struck down Indiana's same-sex marriage ban. Other lawyers also represented litigants in those cases — the state estimates total plaintiffs' legal fees it paid in the same-sex marriage cases alone were about $1.4 million.
A Pence spokeswoman declined to comment about the steep increase in fees or answer submitted questions for this article. "We are not going to comment on current or past litigation," Kara Brooks wrote in an email.
The $1.4 million paid to ACLU during the Pence years does not include, for instance, fees of approximately $520,000 the ACLU says it's owed for a recently resolved, long-running suit originating under the Daniels administration involving the Department of Correction's solitary confinement of mentally ill prisoners. The total also does not include any potential fees if ACLU's clients prevail in the pending abortion case or another current suit in which ACLU is representing a nonprofit agency that to date has successfully fought Pence's suspension of federal funds for the resettlement of Syrian refugees.
In the latter case, Exodus Refugee Immigration Inc. v. Mike Pence, et al., 1:15-CV-1858, Judge Tanya Walton Pratt of the U.S. Court for the Southern District of Indiana granted a preliminary injunction against Pence's order suspending certain federal refugee resettlement funding. Pratt also denied Pence's request to stay the order, ruling Exodus is likely to prevail on the merits. A victory for Exodus could produce a hefty legal bill because ACLU spared little expense: Its top national immigration lawyers traveled from New York to appear in court and helped draft expansive briefs in response to the state's arguments. Pence has appealed Pratt's rulings to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
"Obviously, the reason that the Exodus case is here is that the governor took a certain position," ACLU of Indiana Legal Director Ken Falk said. He called that case and the Planned Parenthood cases outliers in terms of expected fees should the plaintiffs prevail. "There are a lot of lawyers involved," he said of the Exodus case. "The governor made a judgment, and now the state is defending that judgment."
Falk declined to comment on reasons for the increase in litigation and fees ACLU has been awarded under Pence, but he said the cases "certainly" often involve hot-button social issues. "Politicians have a right to take a position," he said, as long as their attorneys advise them they believe the position is constitutionally defensible.
"It's not unusual when you have a civil liberties case, that it arises out of the Legislature's or the governor's action … that may be directed toward a view of majority rule," he said. "Frequently minorities have to worry about the governor, the General Assembly and the majority taking away rights."
Attorney General Greg Zoeller said in a statement, "Legal challenges are supported by public funds in order to provide for an opportunity to have the courts review state actions. This is part of our system of checks and balances and is an important means to ensure that government has acted within its limited authority and to protect individual liberty."
The AG's office has a duty to defend acts of the Legislature and actions of officeholders to protect the state's interests, spokesman Bryan Corbin said. "The State's lawyers cannot decline to defend their client based on subjective opinion, personal whim or prognostication. The Attorney General's Office has a duty to defend the state client as long as a nonfrivolous defense exists.
"If the state's lawyers were to subjectively select which statutes they will defend from ACLU challenges and which laws they will abandon to be struck down without any defense, this would in practice be a 'litigation veto' of laws the people's elected representatives passed that the state's lawyers did not like," Corbin said.
However, he pointed out that in 2012, the state ended its defense of warrantless arrest and consular ID provisions in a 2011 immigration law after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down similar language in an Arizona law. He noted the state continued to defend other portions of the law that were upheld in federal court.
At least 44 cases were filed by the ACLU against state actors from 2009-2015 in which the state prevailed or the cases ended without payment of legal fees to the organization, Corbin said.•
