The Cross-cutting theme of WYC is "Youth for Sustainable Development". WYC 2016 will facilitate a process that strengthens effective youth participation in the planning, implementation and evaluation of various global issues of the world which refers to the process of defining the future global development framework that will succeed the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) of the United Nation. The Conference will also create an inclusive platform for youth that enables them to review the progress of the SDG's, share ideas, experiences and innovative approaches for effectively contributing to the SDG framework and its implementation.
Today's youth are arising to shape the present and futures of their countries. They want to be heard, to be included in decision making debates and to make change. Student's engagement, social innovation, fostering democracy, youth employment, conflict and sustainable development are amongst the issues that have been discussed on the floor of the "WORLD YOUTH CONFERENCE 2016".
The conference will foster information exchange between persons who have faced many different types of issues (not directly human – made, although many have significant contributory factors from human activity and environmental change).

On March 1st, MRHS student body president Dawson Field found out that he was accepted out of 750 applicants as an ambassador to Utah State University and will also be receiving a 4-year full ride scholarship.
Field's role as an ambassador will be to help the university recruit students from out of state, and also give tours to students who visit the Utah State Campus.
According to Field, it was a very long progress, which he started on January 10th. He had to make a portfolio and write a couple of essays. When they cut down the applicant pool to only a hundred, he says he had to then answer a few questions. Then, he had to give a presentation and do an online live interview until he was finally accepted as one of the 24 ambassadors in the program.
"I want to become a dentist, so I will need to major in a science like chemistry or biomedical science," Field says. He wants to maintain good grades while still having a good time. He is hoping to go to a 4 year dental program after his undergrad.

Big Ben: Ovechkin's Bender, T.O. Snubs a Snub, Mets Yankees Ideal Trade Partners
Ben Whitney • June 12, 2018 • 0 Comments
Stamford, CT: Here I go here I go here I go again, girls what's my weakness? Sorry, I was thinking about something else. We've got some fun stuff on tap, including; an Alexander Ovechkin Cup Bender for the Ages, T.O. Snubbing the H.O.F. Snubbers, and the Yankees and Mets glaring trade compatibility. Let's get to it.
Oh my god Alex Ovechkin was doing keg stands out of the Stanley Cup in the middle of Georgetown after throwing out the first pitch at a Nationals game and then ended up swimming half-naked in a fountain and I never thought i'd say this but this was all worth the 44-year wait ? pic.twitter.com/WZ5Bfh2aEM
— Rachel Nichols (@Rachel__Nichols) June 10, 2018
Ovi's Legendary Bender
Much to the chagrin of Angry Ward, I was the first to kick the Ovechkin/Russian/Collusion jokes on MTM way back on May 15th. But I hereby recant. Judging by the Great 8's post Cup behavior, that guy is an American now. He hasn't chugged from a catfish yet, as far as I know, but he's having a blast.
Does anyone else get to hold the Cup?
It's good to see guy a man enjoying his long awaited arrival in the promised land after so many years in the dessert. Then embark on an epic bender. Hank Lundqvist could never pull it off.
T.O. is Right, Screw the HOF
Gary Myers said he would not have voted for Terrell Owens for the Hall of Fame if he'd known T.O. wasn't going to show up for the induction ceremony. Owens has more receiving yards and TDs than any other WR in the Hall of Fame not named Jerry Rice.
I was not a fan, but I'm not an idiot (don't ask my wife). Owens is a first ballot H.O.F.'er. He had six Pro Bowls and nine 1,000 yard seasons. The fact that he didn't make the top 10 in voting in his first year of eligibility is lunacy.
Myers argued that his locker room disruptiveness should be taken into account in the voting. Fine. But not attending the ceremony? Come on. Why does everyone have to act like a Mean Girl Trump little baby these days? He was one of the best ever and should have been voted in immediately.
Legarrette brings his package of skills to Detroit
If the Mets Had an Average Offense…
Has anyone checked Todd Frazier's bat? It's one thing to hit one handed, off balance home runs over the short porch at Yankee Stadium, but his game winner on Sunday night didn't look like it should have gone 380 feet.
Anyhoo, the Mets can pitch. Their starting pitchers had an ERA of just over 2 during an 8 game losing streak. That's hard to do. They shut out the Yankees powerful offense for 9 innings twice in the series but only came away with one win. I'm no Sabermathematician, but I think I've identified the problem.
Only the Marlins and Orioles have scored fewer runs than the Mets. If the Mets can find any kind of offense, they could get into the Wild Care race.
Ideal Trade Partners
Deep undercover for Putin
But let's say they are not in contention ahead of the deadline. With Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard, the Mets have two coveted aces who could bring in a big haul from a Yankees team flush with prospects. With the Yankees light on starting pitching and frothing at the bit to get past Houston, this is a perfect match.
Both players are under team control for a few more years, so the Yankees would likely be willing to part with a few good prospects. No, not Gleyber. But deGrom probably cut his hair to let the Yankees know he was keen to come over.
I know it's unlikely to happen. Hell, the Mets wouldn't even throw Lucas Duda to the Yankees last season, and he might have done more harm than good. But this year it makes so much sense.
Trim that stubble and you'll be ready for the Bronx, Jake
The veteran hitters Sandy Anderson brought in have not worked out and Cespedes's hamstrings are going the way of David Wright's shoulder. If Sandy Anderson can't get it done, it might be time to make a move.
The Mets will try to squeeze the Yankees, if they even get to the table, as they need to stock the pond with young talent. A three player package highlighted by Clint Frazier and other top 10 or 15 Yankee prospects seems quite doable.
Side note: this is the second time Tanaka has hurt his hamstrings running at Citi Field. What's up with that place? Tanaka should strike out on purpose from now on.

Ben Whitney comes from journalistic stock. Aside from his brothers, rumor has that his great-great grandfather was the youngest brother of Eli Whitney and covered the earliest "rounders" games. Big Ben is also another New York Rugby Club player/pal of Different Matt, Short Matt and Junoir Blaber. He likes film noir discussions, has twin girls and took up ice hockey after retiring from rugby.

Expo '70 was a world's fair held in Suita, Osaka, Japan, between March 15 and September 13, 1970. The theme of the Expo was "Progress and Harmony for Mankind." In Japanese, Expo '70 is often referred to as Osaka Banpaku (大阪万博). This was the first world's fair held in Japan.
The Expo had the highest visitor numbers of any world expo in history with 64 million visitors. Its architectural design presented utopian architectural viewpoints and foreshadowed future tendencies in architecture including tensile constructions, metabolistic structures, neo-historic and symbolic styles. Matshushita Electric donated a time capsule that is to be opened in the year 6970.
The master plan for the Expo was designed by the Japanese architect Kenzo Tange with help by 12 other Japanese architects who designed elements within it. Bridging the site along a north/south axis was the Symbol Zone, planned on three levels it was primarily a social space which had a unifying space frame roof.
The Big Roof echoes Archigram ideas - a techno-utopian instant city devoted to sick gatherings and entertainment; a realization, in the East, of what they were never able to build in the West. Archigram was a group born in 1961 with the publication of a magazine by Peter Cook, David Greene and Mike Webb. "Osaka 1 - Environmental Jukebox" was their exhibit for Expo '70 and was basically a corridor, through which thousands of people an hour will pass. The audience participated in responding to five simple questions about 'Cities" with a 'yes' or 'no' push-button response. The questions hung in the air, and were printed in a special edition of Archigram called "Osakagram".
Also of note, The Tower of the Sun was originally built for Expo '70 and housed in the Festival Plaza building known as the "Big Roof" designed by Kenzo Tange. The tip of the tower projected out of the Big Roof's ceiling due to the height of the building. The Tower currently has three faces, two in the front and one in the back. A face between two arms represents the present, and a black face on the rear of the tower is the sun of the past. Originally another face "Sun of the Underworld" was located on the basement floor, yet currently it has been moved to an unknown location.


CARACAS, Venezuela – Venezuela said Thursday it has arrested a U.S. national who is accused of being an intelligence agent tasked with sowing chaos and civil unrest throughout the country.
The alleged agent, Timothy Hallet Tracy, was detained Wednesday at an airport near Caracas as he tried to leave the country, according to Venezuelan officials, who also released pictures of the North American.
"Judging from the way this gentleman behaved, we presume that he belongs to some intelligence organization, because he is trained and he knows how to infiltrate, and how to handle sources and security information," Interior Minister Miguel Rodríguez Torres said.
Authorities also accused Tracy of being linked to an organized protest effort here known by the name "Operation Sovereignty," in which student demonstrators pressed for more information about the health of President Hugo Chávez prior to his death last month.
The movement, which has also been vocal in calling for transparent and fair elections, rejected results of the April 14 presidential vote won by Chávez's handpicked successor Nicolas Maduro.
Tracy, who officials said was born in the midwestern U.S. state of Michigan in 1978, "began to have close relations with these youths from Operation Sovereignty," Rodríguez said at a press conference.
He said Tracy was part of a supposed plot hatched by right-wing political forces in Venezuela to reject results of the election.
The U.S. man sought "to bring the country to civil war, … which would immediately provoke the intervention of a foreign power to restore order and reestablish democracy," said Rodríguez, in an apparent reference to the United States.
Washington, which so far has refrained from recognizing Maduro's government, had little to say about the alleged U.S. agent's arrest.
Maduro won the vote by a slim 1.8 percent, narrowly defeating right-of-center businessman Henrique Capriles.
Members of Venezuela's opposition have alleged electoral fraud, claiming some voters cast multiple ballots or even used ballots belonging to people who had died.
A partial review of ballots has been planned, although a national election board has not indicated when that review would take place.
Violence in the immediate aftermath of the contested balloting led to at least nine deaths and scores of injured.
Both the government and Capriles have called massive street rallies for May 1.


An option to consider for your business is to buy a building or land through a commercial mortgage. Its terms are flexible, and it makes the most sense when considering cash flow. You can also consider this option when taking over an existing business, and developing properties as investments. One thing to keep in mind is that the lender has a legal claim over the property until it is fully paid. This should not be a problem as long as the borrower is true to their end of the agreement.
1. With permission from the lender, a business is able to sublet spaces to other businesses. Depending on the number of rooms in the building and permission of the owner, subletting space to others can reduce mortgage payments. Sublet enough spaces, and it may completely offset mortgage payments all together.
2. Unlike renting, the interest paid on a commercial mortgage is tax deductible.
3. As previously mentioned, free space may be sublet.
4. If the value of the property increases, it makes your property more valuable.
5. Mortgage payments will more than likely be similar to a rent payment. Unlike rental payments, commercial mortgages offer a tax benefit.
1. If you're currently having a cash flow problem, the substantial deposit necessary could put a strain on your business budget.
2. The substantial deposit could be used for other business expenses.
3. Responsible for maintaining the property. When you rent property, if something goes wrong, it's the owners responsibility to fix it. Not so when purchasing-- the responsibility goes to the buyer.
4. Harder to relocate the business. If you're considering moving your business in the future, commercial mortgages may not be the route for your business. Depending on the economical climate of your region, selling property could be difficult.
5. Just as an increased value of property makes your investment worth more, the converse is also true-- if the value of land and/or property in the region decreases, so does your value of your investment.
As in any investment, purchasing land or buildings for commercial purposes, business owners need to consider the location of the property, if the business plans to relocate, and their cash flow when making a decision.

Special episode this Friday night, and the guys aren't visiting Alaska. They are visiting the jungles of South America!
They have lost money every season and start from scratch every year. Why not stay at the same place? They were getting gold towards the end.
Everyone knows that if you can't hit the jackpot in Alaska, South America is the logical next step.

Ah. Good point Corey. They did make a couple thousand each or something like that.
Anyone watch it? Holy extreme! What a crazy episode.
I still need to see the after show, I think there is no way this can be profitable. How do you get equipment there?!

'The Walking Dead' Season 10 Finale Delayed Until Later This Year
March 25, 2020 in Entertainment News
The Walking Dead depicts a fictional group of heroes struggling to maintain their way of life in a post-apocalyptic, walker-infested world. But sometimes unexpected real-world events offer up its own set of unique challenges.
Today, AMC announced that current events have unfortunately have made it impossible to complete post-production of The Walking Dead's upcoming Season 10 Finale. As such, the current season will end with Episode 15 on Sunday, April 5. The planned finale will appear as a special episode later in the year.
In Season 10, with the Whisperer War upon them, the collective communities must come together and possibly sacrifice all they have to find a way to silence the Whisperers once and for all. Otherwise they face a certain doom. In Episode 15, the communities prepare for the final battle of the Whisperer War.
But every cloud has a silver lining. Also on April 5, the first eight episodes of TWD Season 10 will be made available for free on AMC.com and the AMC app immediately following the airing of the last Season 10 episode. Those eight episodes will be available on AMC's platforms until Friday May 1.
There's a touch of irony in this.

Queen's Brian May Covers Buddy Holly Classic
Legendary Queen guitarist Brian May have premiered a music video for his rare tribute version of Buddy Holly's rock 'n' roll classic 'Maybe Baby', which he had just released as a single.
Brian's version of the track is on the second disc of bonus tracks on the April 22 deluxe reissue of his second solo album, 1998's Another World. The second release in his Gold Series, it contains the remastered original album alongside Another Disc, which includes previously unreleased remixes, rarities, live tracks and cover versions.
"I've never done a Buddy Holly song, and I did 'Maybe Baby,'" says Brian, ever aware of the part that the single played in his development as a musician. "That song more than probably any other, is the reason that I'm here doing this, playing guitar and being a rock star and being a very fortunate person."
The new video also includes a Queen fan's visual tip of the hat to the T.E. Conway character, and Brian says of the second disc on the new deluxe album: "It has a also an escapade where a dear friend [and] relative of mine, T.E. Conway, visited me from the southern states of America and performed for me, if you like."
'Maybe Baby,' credited to Holly's group the Crickets, entered the UK and US charts in March 1958, and it had a profound effect on May, who was then just ten years old.
"I heard Buddy Holly make that incredible sound on his guitar, that clang, singing that beautiful song, hearing those wonderful harmonies of the Crickets," he remembers. "And it completely motivated me. I just thought, 'That's what I want to do. I want to be able to make music that does that to people, makes them feel this kind of yearning, makes them feel this joy and passion.'" Watch the video below:

Helping the Monarch Butterfly Recover
Biodiversity, News, Wildlife
biodiversity, Featured, habitat loss, milkweed, monarch butterfly
The life-cycle of the Monarch butterfly is epic. When cooler temperatures signal the coming North American winter, the vivid orange and black insect makes a grand 3,000 mile, multi-generational journey south to Mexico, at times flying at altitudes as high as 10,000 feet.
The Monarch is the only butterfly species making such a long, two-way annual migration. Offspring of the overwintering butterflies make their way north in the spring, looking for a place to lay their eggs, beginning another four generation cycle. The last generation, born in the early fall, make their journey back to their wintering grounds in Mexico. Sometimes roosting in the very same trees their ancestors did the previous winter.
Where did all the Monarchs go?
According to professor of ecology Marcus Kronforst of the University of Chicago, in 1996 one billion Monarchs journeyed on their great migration. By 2013 that number had dropped to only 35 million.
At first deforestation of the Monarch's wintering grounds was suspected as the main culprit of the rapid population decline. But the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service report that Mexico has since virtually eliminated illegal logging. Even with a protected wintering habitat, the clusters of hibernating butterflies now only occupy less than two acres, when they once covered up to 45 acres.
So what's at the root of this precipitous decline?
Climate change is a factor, as the changing seasonal trends impact the Monarch's migration patterns. There is also a stark reverse correlation between diminished population and the rising use of glyphosate, an herbicide introduced in 1997. Glyphosate kills plants without a genetically engineered immunity, including milkweed, the only food a Monarch caterpillar eats.
"Milkweed is a casualty of our choice to plant monoculture crops," says Ya-Wei Li, senior director of endangered species conservation for Defenders of Wildlife
"The continued use of herbicides on milkweed reduces the habitat for monarchs," Li says. "But if Monsanto had never invented Roundup, there would've been something else thought up to eliminate monarch habitat so we could get as much corn and soybeans as possible."
Native American tribes join the fight to save the Monarch Butterfly
Monarch populations have rebounded since 2013, thanks to growing efforts to find solutions and restore habitat, but remain well off their highs from two decades ago. An initiative launched in 2015 by the Obama administration to seed habitat along the "Monarch Flyway" from Texas to Minnesota.
Earlier this week, seven Native Americans tribes announced they have joined forces with the University of Kansas Monarch Watch and the Euchee Butterfly Farm in Bixby, Oklahoma with plans provide more habitat and food for the Monarch.
"For the last several years, we have been raising bees and pollinators, so when this opportunity came along, it fit with what we were doing," said Thalia Miller, director of the Chickasaw Nation Horticulture Department.
A single Monarch butterfly weighs less than a dime, yet its seasonal journey across thousands of miles, over mountain ranges, prairies and pastures, fighting the mighty headwinds of North America, belies its delicate veneer. Monarchs are a mysterious and magnificent part of an intricate mosaic of life on Earth.
It may seem that the fate of such an apparently fragile creature could have little impact in the larger scheme of things. Instead, perhaps it is a lesson on the importance of preserving and better understanding each strand in the web of life.
After all, if a butterfly flaps its wings…

On 12th February 2009, a group of young people and residents from the Lower Shankill presented a set of concrete and reasonable recommendations to improve access to and quality of play in their community. Through the process of setting human rights indicators, the group has identified key issues for change including lighting in play areas, speed of traffic, and participation of both children and parents in decisions relating to play. The event was co-sponsored by the PPR Project, Lower Shankill Community Association, Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People and PlayBoard.

[Federal Register Volume 79, Number 45 (Friday, March 7, 2014)]
[CFDA Numbers: 93.612, 93.602]
Notice for Public Comment on the Adoption of Program Policies and
Procedures for the Native Asset Building Initiative, a Joint Funding
Opportunity Announcement Between the Administration for Native
Americans and the Office of Community Services
AGENCY: Administration for Native Americans, ACF, HHS.
ACTION: Notice for Public Comment.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 814 of the Native American Programs Act of
1974 (NAPA), as amended, the Administration for Native Americans (ANA)
is required to provide members of the public an opportunity to comment
on changes in interpretive rules, general statements of policy, and
rules of agency procedure or practice that affect programs, projects,
and activities authorized under the NAPA. In accordance with notice
requirements of NAPA, ANA herein describes its planned changes to
interpretive rules, general statements of policy, and rules of agency
procedure or practice as they relate to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2014
Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for the Native Asset Building
Initiative, HHS-2014-ACF-ANA-NO-0786 (hereinafter referred to as NABI).
Projects funded under this initiative receive two grant awards from
two Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Program Offices--ANA
and the Office of Community Services (OCS). Grantees under the NABI
program implement economic capacity building projects that are targeted
toward increasing the economic stability of low-income individuals and
families, through the establishment of Individual Development Accounts
(IDAs) and related services that motivate individuals to save, invest,
and accumulate assets. NABI is part of a national Assets for
Independence (AFI) demonstration project, authorized under the Assets
for Independence Act of 1998, to test, demonstrate, and develop
knowledge about the impact of IDAs and related services. For additional
information about NABI, please see the Health and Human Services (HHS)
Grants Forecast at the following link: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/hhsgrantsforecast/index.cfm?switch=grant.view&gff_grants_forecastInfoID=66481.
DATES: The deadline for receipt of comments is April 7, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Comments in response to this notice should be sent via email
to Lillian Sparks Robinson, Commissioner, Administration for Native
Americans, at [email protected]. Comments will be available
for inspection by members of the public at the Administration for
Native Americans, 901 D Street SW., Washington, DC 20024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carmelia Strickland, Director,
Division of Program Operations, ANA, (877) 922-9262.
A. Administrative Policies: ANA would make the following changes to
the Administrative Policies in the NABI FOA.
1. ANA will clarify the conflict of interest standards to ensure
they align with the rule at 45 CFR 1336.50(f). This rule authorizes the
Office of the Chief Executive of a federally recognized Indian tribal
government to be paid salary and expenses with ANA grant funds provided
such costs are related to a project funded under ANA FOAs and that the
costs exclude any portion of salaries and expenses that are a cost of
general government. Given this rule regarding the allowable use of
grant funds, we would adopt a limited exception to previously published
conflict of interest standards that previously did not include the
regulatory exception applicable to the Office of the Chief Executive of
federally recognized Indian tribes.
2. ANA intends to adopt the following policy for the NABI FOA:
ACF encourages all eligible applicants to participate in the Assets
for Independence demonstration project; therefore awards made under
this FOA will be exempt from the following Administrative Policies
regarding limitation of ANA awards: ``Limitation on the Number of
Awards under a Single CFDA Number,'' and ``Limitation on the Number of
Awards Based on Two Consecutive Funding Cycles.'' (Please see FOA Index
for a full statement of these policies).
Since NABI was developed as a special initiative between ANA and
OCS to increase Native American participation in the national Asset for
Independence demonstration project, ANA also will remove the related
disqualification factor titled ``Only One Active Award per CFDA.'' This
disqualification factor had been included in the FY 2013 version of the
NABI FOA to ensure the ``Limitation on Number of Awards per CDFA
Number'' Administrative Policy. The exemption from the Administrative
Policy coupled with the removal of the disqualification factor is
intended to encourage increased participation in the NABI program.
B. Federal Evaluation: ANA intends to include the following
ANA and OCS are required by statute to evaluate the impact of their
funding. To fulfill the evaluation requirements, ANA and OCS will
implement a federally sponsored evaluation strategy to assess the
success and impact of approved projects. The federal evaluation
strategy will include grantee-level documentation. In accepting a grant
award, all grantees will agree to participate fully in the federal
evaluation if selected and to follow all evaluation protocols
established by ANA and OCS or their designee contractor.
C. Name Change of a Disqualification Factor: ANA would change the
name of the disqualification factor titled ``Board Documentation'' to
``Assurance of Community Representation on Board of Directors'' in
order to further clarify what is being requested of applicants
regarding demonstration of community representation. The content of
this requirement will not change, and it still will not apply to tribes
or Alaska Native Villages. All disqualification factors will be in
Section III.3. Other of the published FOA.
D. Eligible Applicants: ANA intends to clarify eligible applicants.
Eligible applicants will remain the same as those entities noted in the
FY 2013 version of the NABI FOA (HHS-2013-ACF-ANA-NO-0587, available
at: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/open/foa/index.cfm?switch=foa&fon=HHS-2013-ACF-ANA-NO-0587) and will include
Native 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, federally recognized tribal
governments and Alaska Native Villages, Native non-profit organizations
designated by the Secretary of the Treasury as Community Development
Financial Institutions (CDFIs), and Native non-profit credit unions
designated as low-income credit unions by the National Credit Union
Administration (NCUA). The bulleted lists of example organizations
under each type of applicant will be removed and clarifying language
will be added that describes the following eligibility rules: Native
non-profits must have 501(c)(3) status with the Internal Revenue
Service; tribes and Alaska Native Villages may only apply jointly with
a non-profit with 501(c)(3) status; Tribal Colleges may apply as either
a non-profit with 501(c)(3) status or jointly with a non-profit with
501(c)(3) status.
E. Projects Ineligible for Funding: ANA would revise language in
this section to provide clarification on two of the types of projects
ANA will not fund under regulations at 45 CFR 1336.33(b), as follows:
1. Projects for which a grantee would provide training and
technical assistance to other tribes or Native American organizations
to the extent such training or technical assistance is duplicative of
ANA-funded training and technical assistance available to tribes and
other entities that are eligible to apply for ANA funding. This does
not apply to ``train-the-trainer'' capacity building projects.
2. Projects from consortia of tribes that do not include
documentation from each participating consortium member specifying
their role and support. Projects from consortia must have goals and
objectives that will encompass the participating communities. ANA will
not fund projects by a consortium of tribes that duplicates activities
for which participating member tribes also receive funding from ANA.
F. Page Limits for NABI Applications: ANA would change the maximum
page limit for applications submitted in response to the FY 2014 NABI
FOA from 200 pages to 150 pages. This page limit excludes business
plans (if applicable) and mandatory grant forms (Standard Forms and
ANA's Objective Work Plan form). The 150-page limit is consistent with
ANA's other FY 2014 FOAs. Applications that exceed the page limit will
have excess pages removed from consideration during the panel review
G. Two-File Application Upload Requirement: ANA would exempt
applicants from the ACF application two-file upload requirement for
electronically submitted applications when responding to all FY 2014
ANA FOAs, including NABI, in order to reduce the technical burden on
such applicants and to ensure that lack of technical resources, not
otherwise required of applicants, does not unintentionally act to
disqualify an applicant, otherwise eligible, from applying under ANA
FOAs.
H. Outcomes Expected for NABI Applications: ANA intends to
emphasize monitoring of outcomes specific to the AFI initiative by
requiring applicants to provide annual targets for the following: The
number of IDAs opened per savings goal (home ownership, education, and
entrepreneurship); the number of participants completing financial
education trainings; the number of individuals completing an asset
purchase; the amount of non-federal cash contribution deposited in the
Project Reserve Fund; and the percentage of the 5-year federal AFI
budget that will be drawn down annually. Target numbers for the entire
5-year project period were requested in previous FOAs.
I. Protection of Sensitive and/or Confidential Information: ANA
intends to add the following application requirement to all FY 2014
FOAs in order to ensure the protection of confidential and/or sensitive
If any confidential or sensitive information will be collected
during the course of the project, whether from staff (e.g., background
investigations) or project participants and/or project beneficiaries,
then provide a description of the methods that will be used to ensure
that confidential and/or sensitive information is properly handled and
safeguarded. Also provide a plan for the disposition of such
information at the end of the project period.
J. ANA Application Evaluation Criteria:
1. Changes to Criteria: ANA would add three additional criteria to
the FOA, titled: Need for Assistance, Objective Work Plan (OWP), and
Organizational Capacity. The concept of Need for Assistance was
articulated as the Problem Statement and was evaluated under the
Outcomes Expected criteria in prior years' FOAs. The OWP and
Organizational Capacity were
previously listed and evaluated as part of the Approach section. They
will be listed as separate criteria to highlight the critical nature of
these elements to project success. Bonus Points that appeared in prior
years' FOAs will be removed from the evaluation criteria.
2. Titles and Assigned Weight: ANA would adjust the maximum point
values of the evaluation criteria scores to further prioritize elements
that are important to project monitoring and success. ANA proposes to
use the following criteria values for the FY 2014 NABI FOA:
Need for Assistance--15 points;
Outcomes Expected--10 points;
Project Approach--20 points;
Organizational Capacity--25 points;
Objective Work Plan--20 points;
Budget and Budget Justification--10 points.
3. Scoring Guidance: ANA intends to provide guidance to reviewers
to utilize the table below when allocating points for applications in
order to ensure consistency and equivalence in scoring between
different panels and panel reviewers. ANA would add the following table
to all FY 2014 FOAs:
Excellent..................................................       93-100
Very Good..................................................        86-92
Good.......................................................        78-85
Fair.......................................................        70-77
Needs Significant Improvement..............................         0-69
K. ANA Internal Review of Proposed Projects: ANA proposes to
clarify the language in Section V.2. Review and Selection Process of
all FY 2014 FOAs to clarify the scope of discretion to be exercised in
making funding decisions as follows:
Based on the ranked order of applications, ANA staff will perform
an internal review and analysis of the highest ranked applications in
order to determine their consistency with the purposes of NAPA, all
relevant statutory and regulatory requirements, and the requirements of
this FOA. ANA's Commissioner has discretion to make all final funding
decisions. In the exercise of such discretion, the Commissioner would
consider whether the project:
1. Would further the purpose of this funding opportunity as
described in Section I. Description, or is likely to be successful or
cost effective based on what is submitted for evaluation in response to
Section IV.2. Project Description.
2. Fails to provide documented commitment of non-federal cash
contributions as described in Section III.2. Cost Sharing or Matching
and Section IV.2. Project Description, Commitment of Non-Federal
3. Allows any one community, or region, to receive a
disproportionate share of the funds available for award.
4. Is essentially identical or similar in whole, or in part, to
previously funded projects proposed by the same applicant, or
activities or projects proposed by a consortium that duplicates
activities for which any consortium member also receives funding from
5. Provides couples or family counseling activities that are
medically based.
6. Originated with and/or was designed by consultants who provide a
major role for themselves and are not members of the applicant
organization, tribe, or village.
7. Contains contingent activities that may impede, or indefinitely
delay, the progress of the project.
8. Has the potential to cause unintended harm or that could
negatively impact the safety or privacy of individuals.
9. May be used for the purpose of providing loan capital. Federal
funds awarded under this FOA may not be used for the purpose of
providing loan capital. This is not related to loan capital authorized
under Sec. 803A of NAPA [42 U.S.C. 2991b-1(a)(1)] for the purpose of
the Hawaiian Revolving Loan fund.
10. Includes human subject research as defined at 45 CFR 45.102(d)
and (f).
L. Reporting: ANA would change the reporting requirement from
quarterly to semi-annual for Objective Progress Reports (OPR) and
Financial Status Reports (FSR). Therefore, grantees will be required to
submit an OPR and an FSR every 6 months instead of every 3 months.
Please note grantees will still be required to submit a Federal
Financial Report--Federal Cash Transaction Report to the Division of
Payment Management on a quarterly basis.
Lillian Sparks Robinson,
Commissioner, Administration for Native Americans.

The Hyena Scientist
by Sy Montgomery and Nic Bishop
HMH Books for Young Readers, ISBN 978-0544635111
This myth-busting new addition to the critically acclaimed Scientists in the Field series by Sibert medal winning team Sy Montgomery and Nic Bishop is perfect for nonfiction readers looking for more female scientist narratives, or a fresh perspective on an underrepresented animal—Hyenas!
Timely and inspiring, The Hyena Scientist sets the record straight about one of history's most hated and misunderstood mammals, while featuring the groundbreaking, pioneering research of a female scientist in a predominately male field in this offering by Sibert-winning duo Sy Montgomery and Nic Bishop.
As a scientist studying one of the only mammalian societies led entirely by females, zoologist Kay Holecamp has made it her life's work to understand hyenas, the fascinating, complex creatures that are playful, social, and highly intelligent—almost nothing like the mangy monsters of pop culture lore.
"...Montgomery's graceful prose draws readers into the experience with clear explanations and vivid description. Bishop's striking photographs show off the doglike hyenas' furry cuteness. He includes close-ups of cubs at play and rest, researchers at work, and adult hyenas interacting with one another, as well as tent scenes, other wildlife, and the always-impressive scenery. Readers may be inspired by the stories of the scientist's diverse team of assistants: a retired medical social worker, U.S. graduate students, and a young Kenyan who hopes to study in the U.S. An appealing, elegantly designed introduction to another much-maligned species."
—Kirkus, Starred Review
At the den, the fluffy, spotted babies play like puppies, dashing and lunging, wrestling and spinning. Tiny infants, still coal black and lacking their spots, sit on opposite sides of a patient, older cub--each chewing gently on an ear of their tolerant sibling. Nearby, an even younger infant nurses contentedly from his mother, who's sacked out on her side. She lifts her head, tilting her tall, expressive ears forward, and looks through the windscreen of our Land Cruiser into our faces. There is no malice in her wide, liquid brown eyes, just innocent interest. Reassured it's just us, the mother lays her head back down and relaxes with her baby...

A few readers have contacted me and asked for a hot chilli sauce recipe.
Chilli sauce means different things to different people in different countries. But this is what I call chilli sauce it's one you use as a condiment on the side of a plate or on top of a meal add it to stir fries or to pasta sauce. Often people think that a chilli sauce is one that has beans and sometime meat in it and is a meal on it's own served with nachos or rice.
Add more or less chillies and tomatoes to suit yourself then adjust the other ingredients to correspond with that. It's not really an exact science just real a personal taste thing these are the ratios I prefer it a pretty potent mix.
Combine all the ingredients in a large saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat. Stand for 5 minutes.
Process mixture, in batches, until smooth. Pour into hot sterilised jars. Secure lids.
Store as you would other bottled products. Refrigerate once you open it you can freeze it if you like but make sure you leave space in the jars for expansion.
When I freeze this I usually do it in plastic containers or even in ice cube trays so I can just get a bit out when I want it. Use more or less chillies and tomatoes to adjust the heat to suit you needs. You can also scrape out the seeds and the inside fleshy stuff to reduce the heat if you want to.
Be careful chopping chillies – use gloves and don't get them on your eyes. Also be careful when you blend or process them opening the lid can be like walking into a cloud of capsicum spray.
I think I got this recipe originally from an Australian website taste.com.au which has some really good straight forward recipies.

Natsuki and Shizuru have been together for eight years. Everything has been perfect but suddenly things are falling apart and neither one knows how to put themselves, or each other, back together. Rated T. Coarse language within.
A short story about the night Shizuru awakens as a Hime. The night of Tamayura is filled with love... longing... and laughter. One shot.
After her confrontation with Natsuki at the end of the Carnival, Shizuru gets a glimpse beyond the veil, and must face what she sees therein.
Natsuki and Shizuru have been in a relationship for a long time. Unfortunately, Natsuki has the bad habit of breaking up with Shizuru often. Shizuru has had enough of it.
Natsuki contemplates her position in life.
Shizuru's thoughts after saving Natsuki from Nao that first time.
Natsuki awakens five years into the future, getting a glimpse of where she might be headed and the relationship in her future.
Story has it that deep within the acclaimed cursed woods dwells a phantom - a demon.
Natsuki is indeed in trouble, uh...?
I haven't the knack of telling tales, nor am I much in the mood to do so, but your eager eyes don't leave me with any other option. My name is Shizuru Viola and my story goes as such.
After the brutal events of the HiME Carnival, Natsuki is still trying to come to terms with Shizuru's betrayal of trust. Will another unexpected tragic event mend the wounds of the past?
Selling her daughter like chattel is horrifying, but what other choice does Saeko have? Nothing could be worse than First District.
Continuation of my story Fragments of happiness. Our former HiME have build up normal lives but when something happens they have to fight again and face old demons again.


Hi Karen, last poster is just slightly further up the road from me.
I'm very pleased that you have decided that you can go ahead with ARC2012. There is a point where courage and jumping into the unknown becomes sheer stupidity - but generally speaking, the path of courage is the one to follow, isn't it?
Sadly, I really don't think I can get down to this ARC meeting. From Inverness to Bath is quite a trek - I have made four forays south of the border over the past two years - two of them to the ARC! But they were such fantastic events, with a real sense of pioneering. I shall badger one or two folk I know nearer to Bath to get off their a***s and be inspired for the weekend. In the meantime, may the goddesses and gods smile upon you and ARC2012.

Afflict The Comfortable (The Mind of Bob Buzzanco)
Bob Buzzanco: Historian, Writer, Agitator, Professor, Sicilian
← ". . . to maintain this position of disparity"
Bedtime for Scalia, Recess for the Court →
Bipartisan Imperialism
Posted on February 4, 2016	by buzzanco
After Carly Fiorino took a swipe at Hillary Clinton's record in a debate last fall– "if you want to stump a Democrat, ask them [sic] to name an accomplishment of Hillary Clinton"–Politico asked about 20 well-known Democrats to give their opinions on what Clinton's most notable achievements had been. There were comments about her role in health care, her commitment to women in the 1995 Beijing speech, and helping the victims of 911.
But as persistent as any theme to the responses was that Hillary was tough and U.S. foreign policy was strong.
Some of the responses:
Bill Burton, head of a Democratic Super PAC: "Her role in killing Osama bin Laden."
Howard Dean, presidential candidate 2004 and head of DNC: "The sanction on Iran that brought them to the table."
Paul Begala, Clinton crony and CNN analyst: "crippling sanctions against Iran."
Donna Brazile, Democratic strategist: "As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton was instrumental in building an international coalition around the toughest regime of sanctions against Iran in history."
Harry Reid, Senate Democratic leader: "American foreign policy was stronger when Hillary Clinton left the State Department than when she arrived."
Chuck Schumer, NY Senator and Israel BFF: "She negotiated the cease-fire in Gaza that stopped the Hamas from firing rocket after rocket into Israel."
Bill Scher, Campaign for America's Future: "winning the UN resolution supporting military intervention in Libya." "And she cajoled Russia to abstain on the Libyan resolution, which was critical to securing its passage in the UN Security Council."
In an earlier day, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and the rest of the PNAC gang would have surely boasted of similar accomplishments . . . and liberals would have howled in disgust and called for impeachment. But now, destroying Libya, holding the victims of Israeli aggression responsible for slaughter, trying to crush Iran, provoking crises in the Ukraine, increasing the military budget, and simply making America "strong" qualify as admirable traits.
In a 1976 Vice-Presidential debate, Bob Dole caught hell when he said Watergate and the Nixon pardon could be discussed in the campaign, "but it's not a very good issue any more than the war in Vietnam would be or World War II, or World War I, or the war in Korea, all Democrat wars, all in this century. I figured up the other day, if we added up the killed and wounded in Democrat wars in this century, it'd be about one point six million Americans – enough to fill the city of Detroit."
Despite the incomprehensible idea that the Democrats are the weaker party and imperil America that became popular after Vietnam, Dole was right–for the most part, Democratic presidents are more likely to use the U.S. military abroad, and Hillary Clinton did not take a detour from that historical path. When it comes to protecting the empire, Democrats and Republicans alike share the same mission, and they both brag about it.

Today we'd like to introduce you to Leslie Trotter.
Growing up, I had always had a passion for photography, writing, and culture. Traveling was also a big part of my life, but once I started to travel internationally as a teen, I knew that I didn't want to stop. During my years as a university student, I heavily integrated myself within the international community and took a chance on photography with a simple point and shoot camera.
When I was accepted into the gallery on campus without even submitted my work, it inspired me to continue. Once I graduated, I thought about ways I could integrate my interests. So, Traveling Curiosity was born. I bought a DSLR, created a blog, and went abroad. I captured what I wanted and wrote about what I experienced, books that I have read, and international films that I have seen.
Going into the new year, I will be branching out and working with local artists and people in the community on different projects along with expanding my business to photographing events and portraitures.
I have had a lot of anxiety. I didn't know what people would think or how I would be received. Networking was also something I have also always struggled with. It has been and still is a learning process for me. Learning how to put myself out there, finding my voice in writing, and trying to make it all make sense together has been hard, but an incredible journey.
Please tell us about Traveling Curiosity.
Because my interests and curiosities are varied, Traveling Curiosity was created. If someone wants to know something or have something reviewed, I will do it. This has led me to trying some great restaurants, reading some very interesting books, watching incredible films, and seeing places I wouldn't have originally thought to go.
I also collaborate and take pictures of others. I don't limit myself, and if I had done so, I don't think I would have been able to discover or share these things with others to provide new information or clarity.
I would have created a more detailed plan and paced myself instead of jumping straight in. I'm still in the process of organizing myself because of that.

How a spork named Forky became the new star of 'Toy Story 4'
Ryan KostJune 12, 2019Updated: June 17, 2019, 11:30 am
Forky is the latest "Toy Story" character. He is not a fork, though. He is a spork. Photo: Pixar
If you'd have asked me, directly following my day at Toy Story Land a.k.a. Pixar Animation Studios, what my favorite part was, I probably would have said the pool (which I only imagined using) or the free food (I liked how each of the dish descriptions featured a portrait of one of the characters; Buzz for the slow-cooked salmon, Woody for the roast chicken).
But now, having had some time to process my experience, I have a new and surer answer: Forky.
Forky is one of the new characters in "Toy Story 4." He is a plastic spork with red pipe-cleaner hands and mismatched googly eyes and Popsicle-stick feet. (The confusing-but-ultimately-perfect name came from director Josh Cooley's daughter.) He is voiced by Tony Hale ("Veep") and he is in a perpetual state of existential crisis. How could something meant to be thrown away now be a child's toy? (He throws himself away more than once.)
HOW A REPORTER SPENT A DAY AT PIXAR: I ate so much food and also learned about computer magic.
The idea came to the movie simply while scenarios were being imagined for Bonnie, the child who plays with these toys. "What if Bonnie picked up a rock and started playing with it? Does a rock come to life?" Cooley says. "It just became fun to think, what if she did actually make a toy."
Though I have not seen the film, which opens Friday, June 21, in its entirety, I understand that by the end of the movie Forky comes to accepts his new, imposed purpose. This is meant to be heartwarming. It's also maybe sinister?
But let's not think too hard about that, because this is not real life and Forky is delightful — he is weird and stilted and extremely lovable in his naivete. In order to better understand him, Pixar had me and several other journalists make our own.
Early on a Thursday morning, we were ushered into a room with long tables. On those tables were sporks and stray googly eyes and multicolored pipe cleaners and clay and Popsicle sticks — everything we'd need to play God.
Claudio De Oliveira, an animator on "Toy Story 4," was tasked with being our guide. He explained he had made dozens of Forkies while working on the film. And then he showed us a heartwarming video of him surprising his daughter with a make-a-Forky day. She freaked out. It was very cute. I was also freaking out, but I was able to contain my excitement because I am an adult. "Unless you make your own, you will not get the full experience that is Forky," De Oliveira said.
This reporter's Forky. The best Forky. Photo: Ryan Kost, The Chronicle
And so we began. Some went wildly off script.
"Yours is like a mythical creature," somebody said to somebody else. (I was too focused on my own Forky to notice who.)
"Super Forky," another person said. I rolled my eyes and imagined their abomination.
I will spare you further details, as they are immaterial. All that matters is this: I made the best Forky, and I was proud.
At the end of our workshop, our handlers/friends scooped up our Forkies. They would be kept safe, they told us, while we went to our next class. We could pick them up later. But this, it turned out, was a lie. When it was time for me leave, I was unable to retrieve my Forky. The room he was in was being used for interviews that could not be interrupted.
I was sad for a time. But after a few days, it occurred to me that he was probably in the trash, exactly where he would want to be.

Hello! Today I have Nancy from Simple Clockwork here to answer some interview questions. I've never met Nancy before online or in person and I had never heard of her blog so; this was an awesome opportunity to meet a new blogger and pick her brain.
I'm Nancy. I have different nicknames by different sets of friends but I'm generally called by my complete name. I enjoy books, writing, blogging, food, and driving. I spend more money and time on books than what other people deem as reasonable. Recently, I discovered that, as a reader, I'm a hybrid product of a "bookophile" and a "book-buster". As a bookophile, I just love books of all ages—how they smell, look, and feel—the result of which is an occasional impulsive book-buying spree. As a book-buster, I have lots of them strewn all over my room, but I love them too much to destroy them (which is why I also have a Kindle).
How did you start blogging? And how long have you been doing it?
I'm a fairly new book blogger who enjoys short stories, Philippine literature, children's and middle-grade books, Christian fiction, romance, and a bit of YA. I have been blogging since October last year. I could say I'm an accidental book blogger. Simple Clockwork started out a personal journal which evolved into a book blog after I discovered a community of book bloggers via bookblogs.ning.com. So far, I'm enjoying what I'm doing, continuously amazed by how supportive the international book blogging community is.
So what is your favorite genre to read and why?
My current favorite genres are short stories and Philippine literature, and even poetry, which I used to dislike very much. I host The Short Story Initiative at my blog and partnered with Mel U of The Reading Life to feature very old Filipino short stories. But really, anything goes. I mean, there are times when I like to read YA for a month then romance the next. Recently, I enjoy graphic novels about local and foreign mythologies, fairies, and the like. A dose of the supernatural can really be exhilarating.
Now this is tough. There are so many! For novels, I think Linnet and the Prince by Alyson Holman is a really good fantasy and romance deal, although underappreciated from my point of view. I would also go for short stories by O. Henry and Oscar Wilde. For movies, Mulan would be part of the top list along with other romantic comedies, such as "He's just not that into you" and "The Break-up". Sounds like sad titles, huh? I assure you, I'm in happy relationship of eight years.
Oftentimes, I would do a blogging frenzy on the stories I've read. One time, I did a post on what happened with my blog since my comeback (I went missing from the blogging community for a couple of months). I summarized the things that happened and titled the post, "7 things this blog has been up to, apart from, well, reading." It warms my heart to know how much my blog has achieved in just short a time. The post was like a personal motivator. The least favorite post would be explaining to my readers why I have to stay away from blogging for a while. The post is titled, "A tribute to my late cousin, a second sister". My cousin who was like a second sister died some months ago. Getting back to blogging and fixing my routine were really difficult for me. Sometimes, it still is.
Who are your favorite publishers to work with?
To be honest, I haven't reached that level yet like other book bloggers who are working closely together with publishers. Some reviews I have had were books written impressively well by independent writers. I look forward to working with publishers someday.
Any suggestions for the newer bloggers out there?
As the old wisdom goes, "No man is an island", so find your niche and work/share/link with other bloggers who share your passion.
Thank you, Jaime, for having me, too! Cheers to you and to BBAW 2012!
Thanks Nancy! It was awesome meeting and interviewing you!
I love learning about a blogger that is in a completely different genre of reading. Awesome Q&A Jaime.
Nice to meet another blogger! I personally only like reading poetry but I hate having to analyze it! I haven't read much Philippine literature but it sounds great!

Intermediate Bridge is for the person who used to play bridge but has not done so for years and needs to get up-to-date on the latest advances in this forever-evolving game, for the person who plays bridge but feels developmentally stalled and needs help getting to the next level of proficiency, or for the moderately experienced social and/or duplicate bridge players.
Open bridge is offered on Wednesdays from 10 to noon for a drop-in fee of $5. Michael Hess supervises games of duplicate bridge in which contestants play identical cards, with each deal scored independently, permitting comparison of individual scores. For all levels of play. This is not a sanctioned game.

La Plaça de les Sardanes és un indret al veïnat de Sant Daniel de Girona inclòs a l'Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya.

Descripció
És un espai herbat i rodejat d'arbres, situat a la confluència de les rieres de Sant Miquel i de la Torre. S'hi accedeix travessant un passera de bigues metàl·liques i solera de formigó, baranes metàl·liques. S'hi puja per uns esglaons. A un costat de l'espai intern hi ha un cadafal per les sardanes, de tres esglaons de pedra de Girona, recolzats a un mur posterior on hi ha una placa escrita: Plaça de la Constitució.

Història
Antigament hi havia una construcció senzilla anomenada la Barraqueta i que feia d'escoles i Ajuntament. Amb la proclamació de a Constitució de 1869 es col·locà la placa commemorativa. Al 1901 es traslladen les escoles i l'Ajuntament i resta com a plaça per a ballar-hi les sardanes durant la Festa Major. El 1901 es van construir les grades pels músics. Al  s'anomenava al lloc "Plassa Balladora". Actualment s'ha construït el pont d'accés, en substitució d'un en mal estat.
