Canadian writing centre involvement
While Canada recognizes Black History Month, as Writing Centre professionals, it is our responsibility to address the gaps in our own education in February and beyond. Furthermore, we must confront the fact that these gaps were created intentionally to exclude learning about Black excellence, both historical and contemporary. It is our work to both name anti-Black racism as a force that has shaped our knowledge and our field, and to take up antiracist practices to re-shape our knowledge and our field.
Many Black writers, thinkers, scholars, and educators have made and are continuing to make significant contributions to Writing Centres, both as places of practice and as spaces for theorizing. We are taking this opportunity to amplify this work and to acknowledge and thank our Black colleagues for their contributions, which have been made in environments that are too often exclusionary, hostile, racist, and traumatic.
#BlackHistoryMonth in Canada
Black History Month began as a week-long celebration in February 1926. Its founder, Carter G. Woodson, was inspired in 1915 by a three week long event that was sponsored by the state of Illinois to mark the fiftieth anniversary of emancipation. Speaking to an audience of students at Hampton Institute, Woodson said: "We are going back to that beautiful history and it is going to inspire us to greater achievements." From its very beginnings, Black History Month has provided a necessary push for educators to intentionally seek out and amplify the work of Black writers, and to recognize the contributions that Black people have made to every facet of our society. The Association for the Study of African American Life and History has a detailed article about the history of Black History Month itself and the Black leaders who envisioned it and worked for its creation and continuation.
Black History Month was not officially recognized in Canada until the late 1970s. It was established in Canada, as in the US, through significant Black effort and leadership. In 1978, Dr. Daniel Hill, Donna Hill, Wilson Brooks, Joan Kazmarski, Lorraine Hubbard, and others co-founded the Ontario Black History Society and petitioned to have Black History Month recognized in February. The first official Black History Month in Canada was recognized in Toronto in 1979. You can learn more about Black History Month in Canada through the Ontario Black History Society website.
We invite you to read on, during Black History Month and beyond. To paraphrase Chantal Gibson, Otoniya J. Okot Bitek, and Ebony Magnus in their recent discussion of their poetry/photography exhibition un/settled, these works are good every other month, too.
All of the following resources have been authored or co-authored by Black writers, thinkers, scholars, and educators. We would love to see this, admittedly incomplete, list grow! Please submit your recommendations for additional resources here. https://forms.gle/CLvjJUbd4xvfwpjM9

This post was written and compiled by members of the BC Writing Centre Association, regional affiliate of the CWCA/ACCR, as part of our stated commitment to antiracism. In particular, this work addresses two of our public commitments:
Creating opportunities to learn from our communities about their experiences of injustice, especially as these pertain to the intersections of race and academic expectations.
Critically evaluating our resources in an ongoing way to ensure antiracist, decolonial, and Indigenized approaches and content.

Q: dynamically adding activeX button in a loop not working in Excel VBA I have a loop in which I am adding ActiveX buttons in a particular sheet. But no matter how big loop is it is adding only one button.
The loop is on rows of the sheet. Each time it should come to new row and add a button. But first time its coming to a row, adds the button and then function gets terminated. Even msgbox written after the line that adds the dynamic button does not executes.
Below is the code:
Public Function AddButton(strSheetName, counter)
Dim btn As OLEObject
Dim cLeft, cTop, cWidth, cHeight
    With Worksheets(strSheetName).Range("J" & (6 + counter))
        cLeft = .Left
        cTop = .Top
        cWidth = .Width
        cHeight = .Height
    End With
    With Worksheets(strSheetName)
        btn = .OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.Label.1", Link:=True, DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=cLeft, Top:=cTop, Width:=cWidth, Height:=cHeight)
    End With
    MsgBox "After Adding button"
End Function

Now This function is getting called in a loop. In first iteration it comes to the function adds a button to desired location and immediately after adding the button this function and the calling function(and hence the loop) gets terminated. Even the msgbox(After Adding Button) does not executes.
What may be the reason? Any help?
Thanks in advance
Akki J

A: You are missing the SET Command before the btn = code.
Also you don't need a Function for this :) Try this (TRIED AND TESTED)
Option Explicit

Sub Sample()
    Dim i As Long

    For i = 1 To 5
        AddButton "Sheet1", i
    Next i
End Sub

Public Sub AddButton(strSheetName As String, counter As Long)
    Dim btn As OLEObject
    Dim cLeft, cTop, cWidth, cHeight

    With Worksheets(strSheetName).Range("J" & (6 + counter))
        cLeft = .Left
        cTop = .Top
        cWidth = .Width
        cHeight = .Height
    End With
    With Worksheets(strSheetName)
        Set btn = .OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.Label.1", Link:=True, _
        DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=cLeft, Top:=cTop, Width:=cWidth, _
        Height:=cHeight)
    End With

    MsgBox "After Adding button"
End Sub

Informed opinion on the Gonzalez situation » « I love this song
Seattle, I am seething with envy
I wish I could be there this Friday — this sounds like an extremely cool art gallery event, sponsored by the Cephalopod Appreciation Society.

Please come early to sign-up as a blind drawer – you will be randomly teamed up with a poet or musician, blindfolded, and only given the length of that particular piece to create your work. The giant squid has so rarely been observed by human eyes – we eagerly await the creative insight your blind drawing will provide!
Dedicated to spreading cephalopod love, knowledge & understanding through art and science, the Cephalopod Appreciation Society is going on its sixth year. It's been a big year for giant squid, and a big year for us. We can't wait to party with you at the McLeod Residence!

Was there one?
I didn't see one, and can we have two this week to compensate?

Considering how much H20 has been falling on us in Seattle lately, I fear that there may soon be squids perusing the stalls at Pike's Place market. Squid throwing fish across the counter in front of a crowd of tourists?
SabrinaW says
Apparently, there was a salmon swimming up one of the flooded highways out here, so I wouldn't be surprised to see squid invading too.
Maybe the squid could catch the fish and make it into a salmon-juggling act. Or they could throw tourists to the fish.

…of course the Chambered Nautilus, Cuttlefish, Octopus and Squid
Unfair to Vapmyromorphs! I protest!
However, by the grace of Cthulhu, I have a 4 hour layover at SEA from 7 to 11 on 12/7. Hmmmmmmm….

Conservancy OKs plan to groom South Portland waterfront lot
By Alex Acquisto
SOUTH PORTLAND — Plans to turn what was an overgrown, neglected and weed-covered lot in Knightville into a full-fledged park are moving closer to fruition.
Dan Hogan, of E Street, received approval last week from the Nature Conservancy in Brunswick for his plan to rebuild the small plot of land known as the Pope Preserve into a modest, but well-groomed park.
Located behind the Hannaford Supermarket on Cottage Road, the small parcel sits along a tidal channel cove off the Fore River. Standing at the water's edge from the preserve give visitors a direct view of Portland's working waterfront.
The preserve was named after Robert G. Albion's wife, Jennie Barnes Pope, who died in the mid 1970s. The two lived on the property, and Albion owned much of the surrounding acreage until the mid 1980s, when he donated it to the Nature Conservancy.
The conservancy then sold the 1-acre upland parcel and 27 acres of adjacent mudflats to the city for $1, Hogan said.
The sale included deed restrictions and the understanding that the area will remain preserved open space. Any additions or new plantings at the parcel must be vetted and approved by the conservancy, because the organization still has oversight over the land.
In the years since, the parcel hasn't been regularly maintained and grew thick with invasive Japanese knotweed and trash.
For Hogan, who can see the vacant lot from his back yard at the end of E Street, clearing the parcel came about inadvertently three years ago.
Hogan and his wife, avid trekkers on the city's Greenbelt Walkway, wanted to circumvent the Hannaford parking lot when accessing the Thomas Street connector that leads to the Greenbelt from their home.
Etching his path through the woods landed Hogan on the overgrown lot. When it became apparent how ideal the spot would be for the neighborhood if cleared and manicured, his project tripled in size.
"I had no intention of making it into a park," Hogan said Monday as he stood with his back to the ocean on a path of wood chips he and volunteers laid that meanders across the preserve.
Over the next year and a half, Hogan worked to stamp out the knotweed by digging up the roots and covering the soil with heavy rolls of carpet.
Earlier this spring, to celebrate the near complete removal of knotweed and to create a haven for monarch butterflies, Hogan and other volunteers planted milkweed along the shoreline.
This month, after consulting with a landscape architect, Hogan presented a site plan of sorts to the conservancy, which included his proposed "plant palette" of 13 native shrubs and trees, including shadbush, seaside goldenrod, black chokeberry, bayberry, swamp milkweed, salt marsh hay and marsh marigold.
Rehabilitating the upland area by planting native vegetation will not only enhance the environment by staving off invasives, he said, but it will also provide improved aesthetics for neighbors.
The plans include installing a horseshoe-shaped path, possibly with three granite benches. The plants and trees will act as buffers for the nearby supermarket and its parking lot.
In his proposal to the conservancy, Hogan wrote, "the intended use of the preserve is passive enjoyment of the natural beauty of the site and as a habitat for birds and other wildlife, as envisioned by the donors of the land, the Pope/Albion family."
While Hogan is working with City Manager Jim Gailey as the project progresses, it does not have to be sanctioned by the City Council, Gailey said Tuesday.
Hogan is now poised to begin looking for funding through grants, donations and fundraising. He hopes to plant the border trees and shrubs and install the path this year.
Late Monday afternoon, as Hogan stood and surveyed the preserve, two geese and their four fuzzy goslings left the calm waters and waddled onto shore.
"Everyday I wake up here and have to pinch myself," he said.

The Pope Preserve in South Portland is on track to become a modest park, thanks to Knightville resident Dan Hogan.

Oil Spill Probe Committee to be named this week - Report in two weeks
The Committee to probe the oil spill at Muthurajawela last Saturday once it is named officially early this week, will probe into the causes of the leak, its damages and as to who needs to take the responsibility for the incident said Petroleum Resources Development Ministry Secretary, Upali Marasinghe.
The Committee will comprise officials from the Ministry, the Marine Environment Protection Authority (MEPA), Sri Lanka Coast Guard (SLCG) and Ceylon Shipping Corporation Ltd. (CSCL). Member nominations are to be obtained from different organisations.
While the Committee could obtain expert assistance in their investigations, the Committee report is expected in two weeks.
Last week a leak in a ship-to-shore pipeline damaged marine and coastal eco systems in the western coastal belt.
While the highest destruction was recorded in the areas Dikkowita, Uswetakeyyawa and Thaldiyawatte to the north of the pipeline, visual damage could be recorded from Bambalapitiya in the South, to Pitipana, Negombo in the North. Hundreds of troops and volunteers were deployed in a cleanup operation lasting four days in an effort to minimise the environmental impact.
While the ground level cleanup operation is concluded, MEPA field officers are deployed in the area to observe the effects on a daily basis, said General Manager, Dr. Terney Pradeep Kumara. MEPA teams would support cleanup efforts of concentrated residue on the beach which could be found in corners or in small pockets. He requested residents to be vigilant and to inform MEPA teams visiting the area in order to carry out proper disposal.
Researchers said that the actual damage to the marine system could only be assessed after lab tests. Environmentalists predicted years for the marine and coastal eco system to be regenerated.

The plant was inaugurated by state Energy and Industries Minister Saurabh Patel on September 13.
A Rs 38-crore water treatment plant built by the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) to supply water to the residents of the west and south regions in the city has run into trouble,with water supply becoming irregular less than a month after it started.
The Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited (SSNNL),which had agreed to supply 75 million litres per day (MLD) water from the Narmada canal running from nearby Sekhri village to the plant,has withdrawn the initial agreement that it had entered with the VMC and has put in new conditions which the civic body is finding hard to meet,leading to the trouble between the two parties,which is affecting water supply.
The plant was inaugurated by state Energy and Industries Minister Saurabh Patel on September 13. It had become operational after a nearly three-year delay.
The supply of water from the canal to the treatment plant was cut off by the SSNNL on October 6,the reason for which was the failure of the VMC to "execute" the agreement it had reached with the SSNNL,officials of the state government undertaking that governs Narmada water said.
"Though we have resumed water supply to the treatment plant,we won't be able to do so for long unless the VMC executes the agreement. Water supply was cut down because of the failure of the VMC to execute our agreement," executive engineer,SSNNL,G J Rai said.
The civic body on its part said that it had deposited Rs 3.75 crore as part of an an agreement entered with the SSNNL in August 2013 for supply of 75 MLD water,ahead of making the plant operational. "The SSNNL has now added a new condition. It wants the VMC to construct an intake structure near the canal which is 40 km away from the treatment plant,which will incur additional cost," executive engineer,VMC,Amrut Makwana said.
Taking a dig at the ongoing tussle between the two bodies,former deputy mayor from Congress,Chirag Zaveri,said the project was important for the city as it contributed nearly 15% of the total water supplied to the city. The work on the project had begun in December 2009 and was expected to get over in October 2010.

How I Learnt To Speak Four Languages In A Few Years
Apr 20, 2012, 3:00am
Lifehacker reader Gabriel Wyner was tasked with learning four languages in the past few years for his career as an opera singer, and in the process landed on "a pretty damn good method for language learning that you can do in limited amounts of spare time". Here's the four-step method that you can use too (and you don't have to invest hundreds in a language course like Rosetta Stone).
This is the method I've used to learn four languages (Italian, German, French and now Russian); it's the method that got me to C1 fluency in French in about five months, and I'm currently using it with Russian (and plan on reaching C1 equivalent fluency by September).
I go in four stages. The stages will take different amounts of time for different languages and depend on how much time you have available per day, naturally. The US Foreign Service Institute makes estimates for language difficulties for native English speakers, and they seem to be spot on in terms of comparative difficulty — Russian seems to be taking twice as long as French did for me, and they estimate languages like Chinese to take twice as long as Russian. That being said, let's say we're talking about a language like French, and you have 30-60 minutes a day to spend on it, I've included estimates for how long each stage might take.
Stage 1: Learn the correct pronunciation of the language.
Time: 1-2 weeks (or longer for languages that have a new alphabet that will take some time to get comfortable with)
Starting with pronunciation first does a few things — because I'm first and foremost learning how to hear that language's sounds, my listening comprehension gets an immediate boost before I even start traditional language learning. Once I start vocabulary training, I retain it better because I'm familiar with how words should sound and how they should be spelled. (Correct spellings in French, for example, are much easier to remember when there's a connection between the spelling and the sound), and once I finally start speaking to native speakers, they don't switch to English for me or dumb down their language, which is awesome sauce.
If you're learning a language with a different alphabet, this is where you learn the phonetic alphabet(s) (Kana, for Japanese or Pinyin for Chinese, for example).
How do you learn pronunciation?
There are a few routes here, and a lot of excellent online and in-print resources (Pronunciation guides with CDs or MP3s are usually very good). Personally, I think it's worth the (short) time to learn the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) for the English language first (Wikipedia / some video tutorials I've been producing), and then see what sounds are different in your target language. In the process of learning IPA, you learn the components of each vowel and consonant and you'll really understand what makes a French word sound French, and a Chinese word Chinese.
Stage 2: Vocabulary and grammar acquisition, no English allowed.
Time: About 3 months. This stage involves two different time commitments: building your vocabulary and grammar flashcards and reviewing the deck.
This stage takes advantage of a few valuable tricks:
First, I'm using Anki, a wonderful, free flashcard program that runs on smartphones and every computer platform. Anki is a spaced repetition system, which schedules reviews of flash cards based upon how often you've successfully remembered a card. In the end, it helps you put a huge number of facts in to your long-term memory very rapidly — you can typically learn 20-30 new words a day in about 30 minutes on your smartphone.
Second, I use a modified version of Middlebury College's famous language pledge — No English allowed! I use pictures and whatever limited vocabulary I have to build the rest of my vocabulary. By skipping the English, I'm practising thinking in the language directly, and not translating every time I try to think of a word. This results in quicker learning and better vocabulary retention over time, and a much faster transition to comfortable fluency in the language.
Third, I'm using frequency lists to guide my vocabulary acquisition. These lists show the most common words in a given language, and learning those words first will be the best use of your time — after 1000 words, you'll know 70 per cent of the words in any average text, and 2000 words provides you with 80 per cent text coverage. It's not enough for fluency, but it's a pretty phenomenal base!
Since I'm starting out with zero words, I have to go in a few steps:
To save time, I start with a basic list of 400 words that are common in English and extremely easy to picture — things like man and woman, dog and cat, to run and to cook. I find good (!) translations of these and put them in my Anki deck without any English — just the word and its picture.
After those, I grab a frequency list and mark off any remaining words I can portray with pictures alone (basic nouns and verbs), and put them in my Anki deck. Once I have some words to play with, I start putting them together. I use Google translate (Exception to no English rule — just be careful there's no English in your Anki deck) and a grammar book to start making sentences, then get everything double-checked at lang-8.com before putting them into my Anki deck. Fill-in-the-blank flashcards let you drill your grammar and connecting words, and you can usually just type these straight into Anki from your grammar book.
As vocab and grammar grow, I eventually move to monolingual (French-French, for example) dictionaries and writing my own definitions for more abstract words (again double-checked at lang-8.com). This builds on itself; the more vocab and grammar you get, the more vocab and grammar concepts you can describe in the target language. Eventually you can cover all the words in a 2000-word frequency list as a foundation and add any specific vocab you need for your own interests.
Most people's eventual goals (by, say, the end of stage 4) will be approximately 2000 to 6000 words, plus around 1000 grammar cards, depending on how far you want to go. (Here, we're talking about words that are in your Anki deck — you'll pick up a bigger passive vocabulary from reading.) As a very rough estimate, if you end up with approximately 5000 cards, it will take you a bit less than six months to learn them with Anki if you're doing 30 minutes a day (half that if you do 60 minutes per day).
Stage 3: Listening, writing and reading work
Time: This stage overlaps quite a bit with stage 2 and 4. Once you're comfortable reading or writing anything, usually a month or two into stage 2, you can start stage 3. Stages 3 and 4, the immersion part, combined took me about seven fairly insane weeks where I spent any free time reading, watching TV and writing.
Once I have a decent vocabulary and familiarity with grammar, I start writing essays, watching TV shows and reading books, and talking (at least to myself!) about the stuff I see and do. Every writing correction gets added to the Anki deck, which continues to build my vocab and grammar.
You should read and watch anything that's enjoyable to you — it's more about quantity than anything; I'm a big fan of the Harry Potter series in translation, and dubbed versions of the TV series 24 are insanely addictive and not that difficult to follow after the first few hours — you can literally spend all day in front of the TV, and it's actually productive! As for writing, you can (and should) write whatever you want — journals, opinions, what you did today, your grocery list, anything. The goal is to get something down on a page that you can submit to lang-8.com, get a correction, and put that correction into your Anki deck.
Stage 4: Speech
At the point where I can more or less talk (haltingly but without too many grammar or vocab holes) and write about most familiar things, I find some place to immerse in the language and speak all the time (literally). No English allowed or else you won't learn the skill you're trying to learn, which is adapting to holes in your grammar or vocabulary by going around them rapidly and automatically without having to think about it). I prefer Middlebury college, but if you don't have seven solid weeks where you can cut ties to the rest of the world and just speak the language, you'll still get a lot from even a couple of weeks in your target country as long as you stick to your target language and spend as much time as you can talking. There are internet exchanges and Skype videochats that will absolutely help you practice speaking, and if you surround yourself with foreign language TV and movies, read books and videochat with people frequently, you can sort of simulate the immersion experience on your own.
The more intense you can make it, the faster your brain will adapt and learn how to put all the info you learned in stages 1-3 together quickly enough to turn into comfortable, fluent speech.
About Gabriel Wyner: "I am an opera singer, and part of my job involves singing in Italian, French, German, English and Russian (and sometimes Czech, Spanish, Hebrew and Latin). After several unsuccessful language learning attempts, I tried my first immersion program in German in 2004 and got hooked. Since then, I set out to see if I could become fluent in all of these languages. I've gotten through German, French and Italian, and I'm aiming for fluency in Russian by September. I'm currently living and singing in Vienna, Austria, where I've been teaching English using these methods and have recently finished a book on language learning. The companion website is at www.TowerofBabelfish.com, where these ideas are described in a bit more detail."

rashad @rashad
The fact is that Gabriel is already more than halfway there as a musician. The same part of his brain that gives him the music edge makes him a pretty good runner in the language stakes.
Which is not to say that the rest of us shouldn't try, but don't let it get you down if you do what he suggests and you're still on page 1 of Lithuanian for Dummies after three years...

*shakes fist at book* damn you Lithuanian.. Y U So hard!!!
bolt_krank @Simon
I agree that pronunciation should be the 1st. You get it wrong in the beginning and you start reinforcing those mistakes as you go along, making them harder and harder to drop later.
memeweaver @MikeW
" Correct spellings in French, for example, are much easier to remember when there's a connection between the spelling and the sound" ... which is rare enough in Parisian French, but the two diverge further in regional dialect. Took me some time to realise that LOOENG was "loin" etc.

St Mochulla's National School Tulla
Admission Policy of St. Mochulla's N.S. Tulla -2008
St. Mochulla's N.S. is a co-educational, rural primary school with a catholic ethos under the patronage of Bishop Fintan Monahan, Bishop of Killaloe.
Our School provides an education founded on an appreciation of childhood and family. It fosters an environment that values the physical, emotional, social, spiritual and intellectual growth of children. This requires the creation of a school community where the human differences present in our school and in our society are acknowledged, respected, esteemed and viewed as essential, and where ideas and behaviours that oppress others are challenged and addressed through an educational process. These differences include but are not limited to: race, gender, ethnicity, cultural, social, lifestyle, economic and religious, as well as the variety of physical, intellectual, and spiritual qualities that make unique individuals of us all.
Catchment Area.
The school catchment area is recognised as the parish of Tulla and such areas, designated for school transport reasons, as being nearer to the closed schools of Knockjames, Drumcharley, Fortane and Maghera than any other school. The Board of Management acknowledges the constitutional right of parents/guardians with regard to the right of choice of school.
Process of Admission.
• Parents/guardians must complete an application form (availed of by phoning or writing to the school) and forward same to the principal accompanied by a copy of the child's birth cert and where the child was baptised outside the parish a baptismal cert (if applicable). Prospective pupils and their parents will be invited to an open morning in the last term prior to commencement in the autumn term.
• Application for admission will be considered in accordance with Department of Education and Science and Irish National Teachers Organisation guidelines on class size and regulations laid down in the Education Act.
• Pupils must be 4 years of age before September 1st of year of admission.
Pupils transferring from other schools
• It is encouraged that the new pupil, accompanied by a parent/guardian, might visit the school prior to enrolment to meet with the Principal and where possible, the class teacher.
• Parents/guardians of new pupils are informed that it is policy to discuss the transfer with the Principal of the school in question. Transfers from other schools should be accompanied by such educational records as deemed appropriate by the Principal of the other school together with details of attendance records.
Enrolment of Children with Special Educational Needs.
• Parents/guardians of a child with special educational needs must supply all relevant reports on that child in a timely manner.
• The school will co-operate with the parents/guardians and all relevant agencies to ensure that all the necessary supports are in place and provision made to cater for the child's educational requirements.
• It should be emphasised that it is to the child's benefit that all relevant documentation in relation to that particular child's needs be made available to the school at the earliest opportunity. Failure to do so may result in a delay in providing the appropriate supports for the child.
• It will be at the school authority's discretion to determine how to provide for a child's needs until the appropriate supports are in place.


Who is the Cancer Woman?
The Cancer woman is the most sensitive sign in the zodiac. As a water sign, she runs on pure feelings and emotion, and she's always guided by her caring but carefully guarded heart. Her universal ruler is the Moon, and while most people's ruling planets take months or years to change signs, her orb changes signs every few days. This explains, in great measure, her reputation for being moody. The truth is she's just super sensitive to the shifts of the Moon, resulting in heightened tides of emotions, intuition and degrees of openness to others.
The Cancer woman makes a great friend and a loving, loyal partner in relationships. She cares deeply for those she loves, but becoming one of those people isn't easy—she approaches every relationship with a degree of caution. She protects her sensitive heart by hiding behind her shell of armor.
What Does the Cancer Woman Want in Love?
Security is a big word in the Cancer woman's vocabulary. It doesn't necessarily mean financial security, although she wouldn't mind that. But feeling safe and secure in her relationships is her biggest concern. She really wants to be in love with her best friend— someone to laugh with, share everything with and even occasionally have a healthy disagreement with. Once you're in her heart, you're there for life. As the sign that represents home, the Cancer woman loves to invite people into her world. She especially wants her lover to feel so comfortable that they'll never want to leave.
The one thing she doesn't want in a relationship is discord or confrontation. Sometimes, however, avoidance of issues can actually cause problems, so luckily Cancer women are sensitive enough to talk, listen and hash it out as long as the approach isn't hostile. When backed against a wall though, watch out for an emotion explosion that would rival the world's largest volcanic eruption.
What Does the Cancer Woman Need in Love?
Ideally, the Cancer woman needs a strong, supportive and steadfast partner who is as loyal, loving and as in it for the long haul as she is. She needs a love that is close but not suffocating, and lets her have plenty of time to recharge her batteries (sometimes alone). She can be a very independent girl, but she wants to know and believe without reservation that she and her love will always come together at the end of the day and share anything interesting or important the other might have missed.
Cancer pairs well with any of the earth signs, but even better for her would be her fellow water sign, Scorpio. She and Scorpio share a connection that only two water signs can share—one that is based on security, trust and deep, deep emotion.
What Does the Cancer Woman Need for a Blissful Love Life?
The Cancer woman can be complicated, complex and even wildly contradictory. Not only does she want and need an easy-going partner, she needs to be more that way herself. She is prone to worry, and in her love life, she's more inclined to worry about her lover's happiness, sometimes putting it before her own.
She loathes criticism or being told what to do, causing her to avoid uncomfortable conversations. But this results in bottled up emotions. Therefore, the best love advice for the Cancer woman would be to let go of worry and not be afraid to express her emotions as they happen, so they don't all come out in one explosive episode. If the Cancer woman would give exactly what she wants from her other half—an open, honest and secure relationship—then she would have a recipe for a blissful love life.
Which Signs are the Most and Least Compatible With the Cancer Woman?
Thank you I don't know who wrote this but it is ME 100%. I wish I had a copy of this to read everyday. I try not to worry much but my man has to be something special because I have had so much expierence in this field that I could help others. I have a story to tell. Whoever you are God Bless You you told me in Cancer.

Wal-Mart RFID Trial Shows 16% Reduction In Product Stock-Outs
Study also shows that RFID-equipped stores were 63% more effective in replenishing out-of-stock merchandise compared to stores without the technology.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. says its customers are finding the items they want in stock on shelves more often in stores that are using radio frequency identification technology with embedded electronic product codes, compared with those that are not, according to initial findings from a University of Arkansas study conducted during the last several months.
Researchers found a 16% reduction in out-of-stock merchandise at Wal-Mart stores equipped with RFID labels using EPC codes. The study also shows that out-of-stock items with RFID were replenished three times faster than items using standard bar-code technology. Wal-Mart also experienced a "meaningful reduction" in manual orders resulting in a reduction of excess inventory, according to the university report.
The study also showed that RFID-enabled stores were 63% more effective in replenishing out-of-stock products than control stores not equipped with the technology.
"An RFID tagged item made it to the shelf three times quicker than a non-tagged item," says Simon Langford, strategy manager for RFID at Wal-Mart. "These items were identified as being in the back room three times quicker than those without RFID tags."
Linda Dillman, executive vice president and CIO for Wal-Mart, told InformationWeek last month that the study would provide conclusive evidence RFID technology increases the frequency with which it can put products in customers' hands.
The study is the first to compare the impact of RFID with embedded EPC on merchandise availability in operating stores. For 29 weeks researchers analyzed out-of-stock merchandise at 12 pilot stores, including Wal-Mart Supercenters, Discount Stores, and Neighborhood Markets, equipped with RFID and 12 stores without the technology.
While Wal-Mart commissioned the study, the University of Arkansas conducted it independently. Specific items were selected at the beginning of the study and the items remained constant throughout the process to ensure data consistency. To establish a baseline prior to the study and to measure the impact of RFID, out-of-stock items were scanned every day throughout for 29 weeks at the 24 stores.
Dr. Bill Hardgrave, director of the RFID Research Center at the University of Arkansas and executive director of the Information Technology Research Institute, oversaw the study. "Our analysis consistently found, throughout the test period, that the RFID-enabled pilot stores statistically outperformed the control stores without RFID technology in terms of providing improved on-shelf availability of items for customers," Hardgrave said. "Essentially, this meant fewer total out-of-stock items and fewer occurrences of empty shelves when the merchandise was in the backroom."
The 16% reduction in merchandise stock outs was determined by physically scanning product stock-outs on the shelf every day. Details and findings of the study will be made available in the near future via a series of white papers released by the University of Arkansas.
Beyond improvements for in-stock merchandise, Wal-Mart also sees benefits from RFID in overall inventory reduction throughout the supply chain, which is important to drive down costs. "With little effort we have been able to make inroads into this area," says Rollin Ford, executive vice president for logistics in Wal-Mart. "Manual orders placed by stores were reduced by approximately 10%."
With prices falling as much as 70% for RFID tag inlays that are inserted into shipping labels, Wal-Mart fully expects suppliers to start tagging additional merchandise in 2006. It also expects that by mid 2006, the retailer will move from the first generation of RFID tag " Class 0, Class 0+ and Class 1 to Gen 2 tags. And encouraged by the development, ratification, and improved read rates of Gen 2 technology, Wal-Mart is now in the final stages of testing this global standard.
Wal-Mart this year began installing equipment to more than triple the number of stores where RFID technology has been installed. By the end of October, Wal-Mart will have more than 500 stores and clubs and five distribution centers live with RFID. The next 200 suppliers will join the existing approximately 130 in January 2006, shipping EPC-tagged cases and pallets.
In 2006, Wal-Mart will double the number of stores that are RFID-enabled, along with distribution centers that service stores. By the end of 2006, more than 1,000 stores, clubs, and distribution centers will be using RFID. In January 2007, Wal-Mart expects the next wave of 300 suppliers to start shipping tagged cases and pallets. That will bring the total number of suppliers using RFID in early 2007 to over 600.

Rose Floats: Some Communities Still Build Them the Old Fashioned Way
By Patrick Healy	• Published at 6:33 pm on December 31, 2016
Plop! Plop! Plop!
Down came the drops of rain runoff from the freeway overcrossing onto the bustling area below -- usually a parking lot -- but approaching the annual Tournament of Roses parade, float central for volunteers in La Canada Flintridge.
"You just gotta dodge it as it comes down," advises Shannon Rodick, spending part of her holiday break from the University of Oregon to help decorate her hometown's annual entry in neighboring Pasadena's tradition-rich parade. "Mostly, it's covered."

Indeed, the leaking is only beneath the gap between the two sides of the Foothill Freeway where it crosses over Hampton Road at Foothill Boulevard.
But the fact the volunteers don't expect a fancy indoor facility -- or even a tent --says a lot about this foothill community's holiday spirit.
"It just makes it that much more fun," said Jeff Helgager, a hydraulic engineering specialist -- his day job is with a water district -- who serves as construction co-chair.
Though volunteers help with the floral decoration of most all Rose Parade floats, as elaborate and sophisticated as they've become in recent decades, the majority nowadays are designed and constructed by one of the handful of professional companies that focus year-round on prepping parade entries.
When it comes to floats, La Canada is old school, one of only five small cities, and Cal Poly, that still rely on volunteers for the entire project.
Like Cal Poly, the city that shares the Jet Propulsion Laboratory with Pasadena is blessed with some serious local talent.
"Lucky to have a large contingent of technical people, engineers, computer people, who help us put together the design of it, and animate it," said Chuck Terhune, himself a retired engineer who serves as president of the La Canada's donation-supported Tournament of Roses Association.
The corporate-free, do it yourself community spirit is part of the appeal for Jerry Bulosan of Glendale, who's been taking time from his real estate work to volunteer the past four years.
"You can see the float come together," Bulosan said.
During the year, some 80 volunteers take on the design and building of the mechanicals -- much, but not all, mined from past floats -- and that part is done indoors. The week before the parade, the float is moved out beneath the freeway, and more than 1,500 volunteers brave the elements to help with decorating.
Among them is a precocious first grader from La Crescenta who's overjoyed finally to have met the volunteer minimum age requirement of seven years.
"I've always wanted to since I knew what a float was," said Aliana Taylor-Aguilera.
With her mom Christy Taylor already an expert at picking and "fluffing" carnations, Aliana's mission is to deliver them from the preppers to those applying the flowers to the float.
La Canada's 2017 entry is "Backyard Rocketeer," depicting the story of a child -- a budding rocket scientist -- who builds a rocket ship and on Monday morning will set out on Colorado Blvd to explore a flower-festooned solar system.
It has special appeal for Aliana, who confided, "I don't want to be a decorator. I want to be a scientist."
Then, running another batch of fluffed carnations to the Backyard Rocketeer, she added, "but this is fun!"


In a city that boasts over 140 museums and also has a food culture worth traveling across the Atlantic for, you just know there are going to be cafes and tearooms in certain Paris museums that are as worth visiting as the museums themselves. Over the years we've become loyal fans of these culinary gems found in some of the most romantic and glorious museums of Paris.
We've already told you about the best places to eat at the Louvre and where to eat at Musée d'Orsay, so let's now take a look at the culinary secrets of some smaller museums in Paris, including Musée Jacquemart André and Musée Maillol. Let's head out for a museum meal, knowing you won't have to travel beyond the gift shop to find something truly good. Here are our favorite cafes, restaurants, and tearooms worth a detour.
It's hard to believe the the Maillol Museum cafe was once a cabaret. In 1951, brothers Jacques and Pierre Prévert opened a cabaret here — the Fontaine des Quatre-Saisons — before it was a museum dedicated to French sculptor Aristide Maillol. In the 1990s Maillol's artistic muse, Dina Vierny, with the help of architect Pierre Devinoy, renovated the lower level, highlighting the vaulted ceilings and added sleek banquettes and chic furniture.
The menu features salads named after famous artists like the Gauguin — a melange of spinach, chicken breast, snap peas, ginger, coriander & mint— and the Matisse, with feta, sundried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes & tapenade. There are also main courses, tea service, pastries, hot drinks, and chilled Roederer champagne by the glass.
There has always been a cafe at the Jeu de Paume and now Hana Bento adds an Asian twist with a pleasing Japanese decor and cuisine to match. On the menu is bento, udon, and nigiri along with teas imported directly from Kyoto. The cherry on the top is the stunning terrace open during the summer that overlooks the large pond of Jardins des Tuileries. And Paris being the City of Desserts, there's also a good selection of patisseries, cheese cakes, financiers, and Asian-inspired concoctions.
Located in the splendid former dining room of the mansion, Café Jacquemart-André is the one of the most beautiful tea rooms — and best kept secrets — in Paris. Although the museum is located on busy Boulevard Haussmann, you'll feel like royalty as you sip tea and sample pastries prepared at the best patisseries in Paris – Pâtisserie Stohrer and Michel Fenet's Petite Marquise.
For lunch you can order salads, quiches, or the daily special before you indulge on ice cream and those great desserts. There are pretty salads named after famous artists and filled with seasonal ingredients — the Nelie (named after the museum's founder) is a blend of French beans, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, beetroots & chervil; the Botticelli is a tangle of angel hair pasta with prawns, Chinese cabbage and toasted sesame seeds.
A secret garden in the middle of Paris. Just for the setting alone, this is probably our favorite museum eatery. Relax in the interior garden of the Petit Palais — surrounded by swaying palm trees, banana trees, and ornamental grasses. The cafe overlooks three decorative pools, bordered with blue and gold mosaics, colonnades, and exotic plants.
It's a revelation to learn that the museum and the garden debuted during the 1900 World's Fair. In fact, the colorful mosaics at the Petit Palais cafe were created by the Italian mosaic artist Giandomenico Facchina (1826-1923). He also helped to restore St Mark's Basilica in Venice and his mosaic work can be found in many iconic Parisian locations including Paris department stores Printemps and Le Bon Marché, and even Palais Garnier.
On the menu — breakfast, lunch, and tea time with pastries from Lenôtre, salads, sandwiches, and savoury and sweet tarts. Added bonus — as this is managed by the City Paris, you have free access to the museum, garden, and cafe.
Cross the street from the hidden garden cafe at Petit Palais to arrive at opposite world — the Grand Palais' MiniPalais. The cafe menu, managed by 3-Star Michelin Chef Eric Frechon of hotel Le Bristol, has been gathering a loyal fan club. It's a restaurant, it's a cocktail lounge, it features a vast 3,200 square-foot outdoor veranda lined with palm trees.
With Chef Frechon in charge of the menu, you know it's going to be good. The cod perfumed with coriander and lemongrass, tandoori with red onion relish, and giant baba au rhums keep Parisians coming back for more.
And in case you've been living under a rock, you'll know that cocktails have stormed Paris in the past decade. The cocktail bar at MiniPalais features drinks like the Captain Hook, made with rum infused with raisins, pineapple syrup, lime and passion fruit. We're fond of the the Green Bay, a blend of Bombay gin, Chartreuse, lime, basil, and ginger beer.

The world is broken. There is suffering. And God Himself comes into that suffering to be with us. This is the true nature of compassion – to suffer with. But awareness of the brokenhearted and God's great gift of Himself could easily become just another insight that comes and goes. So in the New Year, how do we carry the message of Christmas in our hearts? How do we live its truth in our lives, rather than pack it away with the ornaments?
We are called to love one another as Christ has loved us, to enter compassionately into the suffering of others, and to share Jesus' love with them. One important way we can do this is through prayer.
A specific invitation to prayer surrounds January 22, when our nation will mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal in the U.S. throughout the nine months of pregnancy. Since that tragic decision, more than 57 million children's lives have been lost to abortion, and many women and men experience – often in silence – deep and lasting suffering due to their involvement.
The U.S. Catholic bishops are inviting the faithful to participate in 9 Days for Life, a period of prayer, penance and pilgrimage set aside from January 18-26 to observe this anniversary by taking part in local events and by joining Catholics across the country united in prayer. Each day of the novena includes simple prayers and different brief intentions, reflections and actions. Along with prayers for the end to abortion, the novena also includes prayers for other intentions related to human dignity, such as the end to the use of the death penalty, for those nearing the end of their lives, and for all who are on the path of adoption.
Visit http://www.9daysforlife.com to download a free app, to sign up for daily emails or text messages, and to access other helpful resources. Daily intentions will also be posted on social media with the hashtag #9DaysForLife. Follow People of Life at http://www.facebook.com/peopleoflife.
In this New Year, let us remember the brokenhearted and the suffering in our prayers and, remembering Christ's own love for each of us, reach out to be with others in support and in love. Though we may not see the immediate effects of our prayers and good works, we can trust in God's power to work through us.

D. Cromie chaired the meeting and began the meeting by introducing our guests.
Thursday, January 17, Grandview Heritage Club, Britannia Board Room, 7 – 9 pm.
D. Cromie opens the discussion with a question about the validity and value of Grandview Woodland Community Plan (GWCP), saying that people worked diligently, in good faith for a long time to create this plan, only to be told by city planners that the plan is a "guide" only. A guide for whom, and what does that mean? Is there a city-wide plan?
Colleen Hardwick—Ms. Hardwick began by saying she was elected to represent the people of Vancouver, all of them and had to think of our children and children's children when making decisions. She calls for creation of a new city-wide planning process (the last was in the early 1990's and she would re-visit those plans). Ms. Hardwick claims that councillors recognize there has been a lot of top down directives and that they want to put forward an antidote to that style of governance. She wants to start on a positive note—make a plan that takes into account the nuances of each community.
Adriane Carr--Thanks GWAC for the invitation to speak, noting that Grandview Woodland always has packed meetings. Ms. Carr went on to explain that her 1st motion this year was to call for a new city-wide plan (the first city-wide plan was created in 1928/29). She says that City Councillors worked together to make this motion a true collaboration. She would like to use neighbourhood plans to inform the city-wide plan and to set some goals by asking what kind of city do citizens want? Ms. Carr believes council must ask citizens the big questions: How do we make a city-wide plan. How do we organize it? What should the process of consultation look like?
Michael Wiebe--He said he understands the community plans creation process because he worked on the Mount Pleasant Community Plan and was a member of its Implementation Committee. Mr. Wiebe related how his neighbours were frustrated as they saw proposal after proposal failing to follow the neighbourhood plan, despite the thousands of hours spent on developing it. Recognizing that the process was so broken, Mr. Wiebe ran for council. He felt no one at City Hall acknowledged or implemented the good ideas that came from the community. As a consequence, valuable ideas and time were lost.
Lisa Dominato She started by citing her background in the Hastings Sunrise area and in public planning. Ms. Dominato insists that public planning needs local input to succeed but that the "big picture" also must be acknowledged (transit, other infrastructure, diversity, etc.). She said that neighbourhood nuances need to be considered.
Jean Swanson Ms. Swanson related her experiences as a member of the Downtown East Side (DTES) Planning Committee, five-years ago. She does not think there is much to celebrate in this plan, noting that all involved must acknowledge problems with implementation and insist that the neighbourhood plan has value and is recorded. Ms. Swanson urged the audience to be sure what they really want is translated back to council. Her key concerns, however, are for tenants and housing affordability. She is the "go-to person" for this issue. Ms. Swanson wants needs to be met and cited the Kettle Friendship's dire need for affordable housing. She wants to see that the Kettle gets the housing it so needs and without the towers.
Divisiveness. Improving urban living space by building for the future often means dealing with divisive situations and branding (NIMBY, for example)—how can we address divisiveness and move forward?
Motion to Change Consultation Policy. Can Council do something? Can councillors draft an amended policy, one that addresses concerns raised at tonight's meeting?
Lisa Dominato noted the passion, candor, and diverse voices in the room tonight. She thanked GWAC and audience members for inviting her and for talking about the issues.
Adriane Carr said that such public meetings were important for gathering information, saying "We can't get this [kind of information] at Council. Let's work together." She's excited about working with neighbourhood councils to make changes.
Michael Wiebe likes the open dialogue we experienced tonight. Mt. Pleasant was a good example of dialogue and moving to consensus. He reminded everyone that we must give and take if we are going to create livable communities in a livable city.
Colleen Hardwick cautioned the audience not to oversimplify or get stuck in binary constructs when it came to planning. She said that in 2016, the City built twice the number of units than in past years. To be sure, capacity was built, but affordable rents disappeared along with rental stock. She warned people to exercise care and not to paint with broad brushstrokes. We need to pay attention to the details and know what we want. She reminded the audience that in the end, it is all about the money. Ms. Hardwick urged audience members to work together to come up with solutions and compromises.
Invited guests, audience members, and GWAC Board members agreed that the meeting was a respectful, positive, and energizing success. People felt that residents' concerns about the broken planning process were heard, and they felt they were going to be part of a more collaborative planning process at a changing City Hall.
D. Cromie adjourned the meeting at 9:10 pm.

Marina Rodriguez vs. Mackenzie Dern
UFC: Saturday, October 9th at 4:00 PM ET
The Line: -- Marina Rodriguez +130 / Mackenzie Dern -150 Click Here for the Latest Odds
Mackenzie Dern and Marina Rodriguez face off on Saturday in a women's strawweight battle for the main event of UFC Fight Night 194 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Dern is currently ranked 4th in the division while Rodriguez is currently ranked 6th.
Mackenzie Dern comes into this fight with an 11-1 record overall and she has won four fights in a row. Dern's last fight came against Nina Nunes in April of 2021 and it was late in the first round that she locked in an armbar and won the fight by submission. Dern is averaging 3.64 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 3.57 significant strikes per minute. Dern mostly likes to keep the fight on the feet, but she is averaging 0.51 takedowns every 15 minutes and is successful on 10 percent of his takedown attempts. Dern wants to lock in submission attempts and she tries 2.3 of those every 15 minutes. In this fight, look for Dern to try and lock in one of those submissions early, and finish this fight.
On the other side of this matchup is Marina Rodriguez who sits with a 14-1-2 record overall and she has won two straight fights. Her last fight came against Michelle Waterson in May of 2021, and it was a dominant performance. Rodriguez outstruck Waterson 125-88 and that led to the unanimous decision loss. Rodriguez is averaging 4.89 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 3.24 significant strikes per minute. Rodriguez likes to keep the fight on the ground and is only averaging 0.28 successful takedowns every 15 minutes. She is also stopping 62 percent of her opponents' takedown attempts.
Dern is the better fighter, and she is going to have no issue dominating this fight. Rodriguez is going to get herself in a bad position, and Dern is going to take advantage. Take Dern to win this fight on the money line, and throw a little bit on Dern to win by submission.

UFC Fight Night 194: Randy Brown vs. Jared Gooden Picks and Predictions


Boris Johnson has been warned he faces private prosecution over his "£350m a week" claim that was used throughout the EU referendum campaign.
Private prosecutor Marcus Ball said he notified the former foreign secretary on Saturday of his intention to bring a court case over alleged misconduct in public office.
As reported by this newspaper in September, Mr Ball has spent two years preparing the case and raising finance, and has instructed solicitors Bankside Commercial to bring a prosecution on his behalf. They have retained the services of Lewis Power QC and two other barristers from Church Court Chambers to handle the case.
Asked if he is mounting the case in a bid to prevent Britain leaving the EU, Mr Ball said: "This is about stopping lying in politics; this is not about stopping Brexit, the courts do not have the power to do that.
A study by King's College London found that half of the UK still believes the claim.
Lewis Power QC said Ball's legal team are "duty bound not to comment upon the guilt or innocence of Mr Johnson as this is a decision that can only be made within a court of law".

Firstly I must apologise for not being here this evening, but I had other commitments. John Copson and Christopher Bayne are here to answer any questions, should you have any.
This group was first formed nearly 7 years ago, by David Perrin and myself (John Sanders) with our first meeting in March 2003.
We decided to have the first ordering date on the first Tuesday in August and they're after every 3 months. In the August 2003 23 people ordered oil. Up to February 2010 we have grown to 193 in Lt Melton, 11 in Gt Melton. Bawburgh, who joined us in 2006 with 15 people, has now grown to 77. So in total we have 281 people who belong to our group.
February sees the highest amount for ordering, with February 2010 totalling 109,500 litres with 140 people who ordered.
I personally do most of the work on the computer, recording addresses, telephone numbers and dates ordered.
We then share either taking the orders to the various oil companies or faxing them.
I would like to show our appreciation to Barbara & John at the Village Shop who hand out the forms and take in the orders. Without their help and support it would be very difficult to operate.
John and I, welcome Edwina Clark who has volunteered her services into our ordering group, with Adele Gilbertson as a back up, both from our village. We also have Christopher Bayne who represents Bawburgh who assists us.


True – SNOW is great – for sledding, skiing, making snowmen and having snowball fights! AND – while is falling, it's SPECTACULAR!
My daughter got her wish – today, when we woke, we had about one inch of crisp white snow! Beautiful!…until it was time to clean off the cars, plow the driveway and shovel the paths!!

How a nursing degree shaped, inspired and challenged Hema
This article appears in: Health, Nursing and Midwifery, Studying in Australia
Hema is a proud Nepalese graduate who was determined to make a difference in people's lives. Committed to advocating for and protecting others, Hema knew a career in nursing was the only path for her.
As an avid nature lover, Hema fell in love with the tropical vibrancy that Darwin has to offer.
"I love nature, so Darwin is an amazing place to live for me," she says.
Studying at CDU gave Hema a newfound confidence, teaching her how to interact with other people and to respect cultural differences.
The student community and CDU staff welcomed me with open arms, creating such a positive experience.
"CDU graduates also have the best career and employment prospects," she adds.
Practical placements and work experience
As a community nurse, Hema had the opportunity to visit rural locations to help locals with their medical needs.
She savoured not only the experience of gaining a vast range of clinical knowledge but the prospect of seeing amazing places.
"Darwin is the greatest place to learn since the rural cases are usually care flights to Darwin," she says. "When provided with simulation blocks, don't hesitate as it is the best opportunity to learn before dealing with real patients."
Don't forget to have fun while studying. It is the journey you will remember for life.
Hema also spent some time during her mental health placement volunteering to help clean and organise homes of people who are dealing with mental health issues.
"I grew up in a society where I was taught mental health was a taboo. Coming to CDU, after doing my mental health course, and placement on top of it, I came to realise how wrong that was," she says.
"I made the best out of my time during my mental health placement trying to see where my patients were coming from, and I wanted to make a difference."
As an international student, Hema quickly embraced the Australian way of life.
"I was surprised how friendly people are. Back home I was not used to interacting with locals just walking down the street," she says.
"Also, Australian slang and their way of shortening words was confusing at first. Another culture shock for me was drinking tap water. I don't remember the last time I bought bottled water in Australia."
Graduation and beyond
Hema had the opportunity to deliver a sentimental speech at her graduation ceremony.
It was her way to give thanks to those who had helped her along the way and give well wishes to her fellow graduates.
I wanted to share the emotional connection that I developed with CDU and the people in it and give thanks to the faculty and non-faculty staff of CDU.
Since graduating, Hema has applied for the graduate program at Royal Darwin Hospital.

Navy Veteran Rick Scott announced more spending for military bases.
Already-heightened efforts to attract Puerto Rican voters — whether the voters left the island long ago or are recent hurricane refugees — have shifted into higher gear amid a new death count from Hurricane Maria.
"With this grant, we're making sure that Florida Democrats have the tools they need to identify and connect with new Puerto Rican voters, and provide them with the support they need as they settle in the Sunshine State," Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez said.
Meanwhile, Republican Gov. Rick Scott embarked — in his official capacity, not as a U.S. Senate candidate — on his sixth trip to the territory since Hurricane Maria ravaged the island last September.
The Thursday trip to "offer guidance" regarding ongoing hurricane recovery, came at the invitation of Puerto Rican Gov. Ricardo Rossello, according to a news release from Scott's office.
The latest Democratic and Republican efforts came on the heels of a report by a research team led by scientists at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health that concluded far more people might have died in Hurricane Maria than official totals indicate. Based on storm-experience comments from randomly surveyed households, the report said perhaps 4,645 people died who otherwise wouldn't have perished if Puerto Rico hadn't been ravaged by Maria.
The estimate would ratchet up the death count, which the officials who invited Scott to the island have held at 64 — 20 fewer than Florida recorded from Hurricane Irma.


During "The Drawing of the Three"
Stephen King plays a central role in The Dark Tower Series. He is able to channel the spirit of Gan and write stories about Roland Deschain's world.
The Crimson King wished to have him killed. King was in increased danger whenever he was working on a book in The Dark Tower Series. The first time the King tried to kill Stephen King was when King was a child. He was in a barn with some chickens and a flood of red spiders poured out of them and chased after him.
In Song of Susannah, Eddie and Roland go visit Stephen, who is at a stand still and is afraid to write about The Dark Tower. Since Roland knows Stephen King is his creator, he hypnotises Stephen and tells him to listen for the song of the Turtle, and when he hears it, to write. Roland also tells King to forget about seeing them. After this, even when Stephen doesn't write a Dark Tower book, what he's working on is still connected to them.
The Crimson King's efforts to kill Stephen came to a head in 1999 when Stephen King was almost killed by Bryan Smith in a car accident. King was saved by Jake Chambers when Jake pushed him out of the way of Smith's truck. Jake died in the accident.
When Stephen writes the seventh volume he leaves Susannah a message in Joe Collins bathroom, knowing she would swat her face when she laughed (causing the sore on her mouth to bleed), in the bathroom. It helps her deduce that Joe Collins is in fact Dandelo, because when they came to Odd's Lane, the " 's " was scrawled there (leaving Odd Lane, and anagram for Dandelo). She is able to save Roland from laughing to death.

As mentioned in Beyond BBQ, every region has indigenous ingredients and local treasures, and they are worth seeking out. One of the traditional items in Memphis has to be the grits. People travel far and wide for good grits, and even though they are a Southern staple, new artisanal twists keep making it better and better.
Take dried corn and grind it until it's the texture of rough sand. Simmer it in some water. Stir in some cheese. Season it well with salt and pepper. Serve warm and creamy. In Italy, you'd be making polenta — which sounds exotic and fancy. Here in the South, we're referring to grits. This is one of those cases where a dish's name seems to hurt it and keep it from rising to a coveted place on the table.
If you didn't grow up with grits (or worse, grew up with instant grits), the taste of yellow-corn, stone-ground, fresh-from-the-farmers'-market grits is a revelation.
Meeting Becky Tatum, the lady behind Delta Grind, gives you a new appreciation for this seemingly simple product. There is nothing pretentious about Becky. She likes to work hard. She likes producing a fantastic product. She loves talking with her chefs and customers. Petite and pretty, Becky tackles the dusty business with hidden strength and a bit of sass.
Food historians place the origin of cooked grits with Native Americans, who allegedly welcomed the Jamestown settlers with the thick mixture. Trends with grits come and go and vacillate between down-home and sophisticated preparations. Whether simple or complex, starting with good, toothy, flavorful grits is paramount.
The "corny" taste of freshly stone-ground grits is subtle and provides a textural slate for a plethora of other flavor layerings. There is a splendor in grits — no pomp or snobbishness required — available on your plate from a nice Mississippi lady.
