St. Mary - A Life of Humility
Humility is the amazing and beautiful robe, which our Lord put on; through it, He manifested Himself to us. It was not possible for earthly people to see the Lord of lords and God of gods in the glory of His divinity, but only through humility.
In the past, He said to His elect prophet, "You cannot see My face; for no man can see Me, and live." (Exodus 33:20) When He descended with His glory on Mount Sinai in the past, the mountain was blazing in a fiery smoke; it was the case that, "Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be stoned or shot with an arrow, whether man or beast." (Exodus 19:12, 13) So terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I am exceedingly afraid and trembling." (Heb.12:18-21)
In the New Testament, God incarnate and became man through His dwelling in St. Mary's womb. She carried Him by her hands, and He ate and drank with man. Moreover, He offered Himself to us as food, indeed, so that we would abide in Him and He in us.
Sts. Augustine and Eronimos noted that the Lord Jesus started His sermon on the mount by talking about humility saying, "Blessed are the poor in spirit [the humble]." (Matt. 5:3) Thus, He started His ministry with the subject of humility and continued in it all His life to His death.
The first sin, which resulted in the fall of our race was the sin of pride; and no wonder we see God addresses it with the virtue of humility.
St. Mary and Her Life of Humility
Throughout her life, St. Mary was known for her many virtues, especially the virtue of humility. Her humility was the key virtue that won her favor with God such that He chose her to be His mother. She declared this herself in her famous praise, "For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant." (Lk. 1:48)
H.H. Pope Shenouda III is saying about her humility, "When God wanted to chose a girl to dwell in her womb, He chose one full of humility, so that she would be able to receive the glory and honor rightly due her, while keeping the appropriate balance because of her humility."
St. Mary was such a humble person that she was not affected by the honor, visions and revelations she received. In contrast, St. Paul received from the Lord a "thorn in the flesh" to protect him from pride and exaltation, "And lest I be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me … lest I be exalted above measure." (2 Cor. 12:7)
Illustrations of Her Humility
Her humility was clear during the annunciation. While the archangel spoke to her with reverance and declared the great and marvelous work of God who will incarnate from her, she said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord." (Lk. 1: 26-38)
After that, she did not think about herself as the mother of God seeking honor, respect and glory. Instead, as a maidservant, she thought of Elizabeth who was in need of help. Thus, St. Mary went into the hill country quickly and served her for almost three months. Elizabeth recognized the great honor bestowed upon her and remarked about Mary's humility, "But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" (Lk. 1:43) When Mary heard these words, she redirected the glory and honor to God in her famous praise, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior … for He who is mighty has done great things for me." (Lk 1: 46, 47, 49)
When she gave birth to Jesus in a lowly manger, an environment not commensurate to the mother of God, she accepted it in complete submission and humility without protest.
Forty days after of giving birth, she entered the temple and with complete humility, although she is the example of purity and virginity, she offered a sacrifice for her purification according to the law of Moses. (Lev. 10:8) She offered a pair of turtle doves which was the offering of the poor. She did not complain from her poverty nor was she ashamed of it and try to show herself rich before people.
Although Jesus was her son and not Joseph's, she introduced him before herself as if he was the greater. This happened at the temple when she said to Jesus, "Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously." (Lk. 2:48)
At the wedding of Cana, she didn't try to attract attention to herself nor to the power of her intercession, but she played her role and fled away from any glorification, honor or even respect and gratitude. In general, she is an excellent model for humility and self-denial that won her favor before God to be the mother of God.
The Greatness of the Virtue of Humility
St. Pachomious, the founder of Coenobitic monasticism, said, "Seeing somebody through the eyes of a humble and pure heart is better than any vision, because through him, you see God the unseen."
Once, a monk said to St. Timothy the Hermit, "I find that my mind is always with God." The saint replied, "Better still is to see yourself below all creation as there is no fall from humility."
Once St. Macarius the Great was asked, "Which is the greatest virtue?" He replied, "If pride is considered the worst of all vices, to the extent that it cast a host of angels out of heaven, no doubt humility is the greatest of all virtues, because it is able to elevate the humble, even if he is a sinner."
What Does Humility Do?
Humility takes man back to his original state.
Though humility man can defeat the devils.
Humility preserves God's grace in man.
God exalts the humble. (1 Pet. 5:5, 6)
Humility manifests God's mysteries and qualifies us for His gifts. (Ps. 25:14)
Humility aids and rescues us in times of trouble. (2 Cor. 7:6 ; Ps. 116:6)
Humility keeps at bay God's wrath and answers prayers. (2 Chron. 32:26; 2 Chron. 33:12; Job 42: 2-6, 9-12)
How Do We Obtain Humility?
Perpetually observing the humility of our Savior. (Matt. 11:29)
Knowing one's self through: (a) meditating on one's true self; (b) meditating on one's sins; (c) meditating on one's changing self.
Avoid boasting on spiritual gifts. (Phil. 2:13; 2 Cor. 3:5)
Do not pretend to do a deed that others will observe and praise you for. (Matt. 6:1)
Rejoice in insults and despising.
Do not justify yourself for the wrongs you do. (Ps. 141:4)
Flee from the praise of others and give thanks to God who helped you in your good deeds. Do not utter in front of others that which make them praise you.
Esteem all others better than yourself. (Phil. 2:3)
Do not choose the best places. (Matt. 23:6)

Techzine News Infrastructure Taiwan not a fan of chip production on EU soil
Taiwan not a fan of chip production on EU soil
chip production, EU, Taiwan, Thierry Breton, TSMC
For the time being, there seem to be no plans for TSMC to carry out semiconductor production within the EU. Taiwan wants to keep this on its own soil as much as possible.
Wang Mei-hua, the Taiwanese Minister of Finance, has made it clear that she has little interest in the idea of Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturers building factories within the European Union, Reuters reports. According to Wang, TSMC will focus its most advanced technologies on the island.
"TSMC has said repeatedly that the most advanced technology will definitely be (produced) mainly in Taiwan," she said. "As for how Taiwan and the EU can cooperate, companies have their arrangements and considerations, and it can be further discussed."
Attempts to attract TSMC to EU
In doing so, Taiwan is going directly against the EU's wishes to attract more semiconductor production to the continent. Last week, EU Ambassador to Taiwan Filip Grzegorzewski announced the EU's intention to establish an investment forum on the island later this year in order to market the continent as an attractive place to invest. In concrete terms, the intention was to tempt semiconductor companies to build chip factories in Europe. However, the focus was not only on TSMC. "Taiwan has more than TSMC to offer," Grzegorzewski said. "There are other excellent semiconductor companies in Taiwan."
European Commissioner Thierry Breton is keen to see the EU build more sovereignty in chip production, especially now that European car manufacturers such as Volkswagen are in a pinch because they cannot get enough chips for their cars.
Taiwan holding off Europe
Wang says he has not had direct contact with the EU on the subject in the past two weeks. "But in our talks with the EU, industrial cooperation has always been an important topic. It's not just limited to semiconductors, it's on broader industrial cooperation."
Despite TSMC clearly keeping its focus on chip factories on its home island, the company does have plans to expand production beyond Taiwan's borders. The company already has several factories in China and it recently announced plans to build a factory in the US state of Arizona.

Ayoob Kara: A Study In Media Distortions
by Sheri Oz · Published January 13, 2017 · Updated September 5, 2017
We have all heard stories about how the media twists stories around and produces fake news. How often do we have the opportunity to see it in action ourselves? Here is one example I chanced upon two days ago.
On Tuesday morning (10 January), I was driving down to Tel Aviv, listening to Galei Zahal on the radio, as is my habit. The programme "Ma Bo'er" was on. Razi Barkai interviewed Deputy Minister Ayoob Kara and bereaved father David Einhorn regarding the fact that no MK or Cabinet Minister had come to any of the four funerals of the young soldiers killed in the latest terror attack in Jerusalem.
A mere ten minutes later, at 10:00, part of Einhorn's interview was replayed on the hourly news, as was part of an interview with Minister Yoav Galant, that was heard earlier on Boker Tov Yisrael. My curiousity was sparked by the fact that the interview with Kara had disappeared as if it had never taken place. An hour later, on the 11:00 news, listeners heard only Einhorn.
The evening news programme on Mabat also carried an item lambasting the government for not having had even one single representative at any of the funerals. Deputy Minister Kara was interviewed in his car and this time he said something that sounded to me quite different from what he had said in the morning on the radio. I set out to understand what had happened between the morning and the evening. First, let me present clips of the radio and television interviews and the 10:00 radio news broadcast [in Hebrew, translation below].
http://www.israeldiaries.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/רזי-באקאי.m4a
First Barkai interviews Einhorn, who lost his son in the second Lebanon War in 2006. Einhorn is complaining that elected government officials only appear at events that are good for the public relations value that they provide. He argues that the army takes kids and, without asking their parents, sends them off to whatever missions are required, that it is only right that representatives of the government take the time to show respect to the fallen and their families.
Razi suggests that perhaps some politicians are reticent to appear at funerals because they are exposed to boos on the part of the funeral party. Einhorn rejects this argument by raising the fact that even memorial events held in the Knesset, away from the masses, are not well attended by members of the Knesset.
You are an elected official so you take responsibility for your actions. You send our sons to war, you send our sons to serve in the army . . . I am sorry, you don't have an hour to spare to come and take part in the family's bereavement?
Einhorn went on to talk about his sense of shame caused by the fact that nobody attended any of the funerals.
Razi moved on to interview Ayoob Kara.
Razi: You also did not attend any of the funerals, but you tried to go, you asked to go. What response did you get, Ayoob?
Kara: Look, I am talking as a bereaved brother, a member of a bereaved family, who lost 2 of his brothers, not one, and a wounded veteran and officer. I leave my official title aside and I, personally, and all of Israel can hear me, there is no family to which I can attend either the funeral or the shiva and I do not do so. Yesterday, as well, I tried to go, but regarding two of the funerals to which I intended to go I was told "no media" and the significance of that is that they do not want public officials. . .
Razi: One moment – you checked with the two families. There were four funerals but regarding one funeral, I know the family requested that it be private, without the media.
Kara: Regarding other funerals, it was also made clear they wanted them to be private. Yes, in any case I asked the Knesset Secretary, and the regulation is, in fact, the army is responsible for these funerals [unclear]. Yesterday, the prime minister . . .
Barkai remarked that surely the army would not prevent a politician from attending a funeral and Deputy Minister Kara talked about his sensitivity to the families and intention to visit all the families where they will be sitting shiva. He explained the fact that the government is responsible for funerals of terror victims and the army for funerals of soldiers. Here the situation fell between the two. The government left these four funerals to the army given that, while the fallen were victims of terrorist acts outside the battle field, they were soldiers.
Kara: I don't want to be in the position that I arrive at a funeral and am told that politicians are not welcome; this has happened to me in the past. . . . There is no bereaved family that I do not visit. Very simply, I wanted very much to be there yesterday, but to my chagrin, the regulations need to change and I promise you that from this day forward you will see me at every funeral because of what happened yesterday when I thought that perhaps it was better for me not to be there.
On the news a few minutes later, we only hear David Einhorn talking about his shame on behalf of the government ministers and MK Yoav Galant admitting to having made a mistake that should not have happened. An hour later, the news broadcast included only Einhorn's statements of shame.
http://www.israeldiaries.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/גלי-צהל-חדשות-11.1.17-שעה-10.m4a
I wondered where Ayoob Kara had disappeared to. Why was his interview not mentioned – why was it deemed unimportant to hear that he had struggled with the idea and then purposefully decided not to attend out of sensitivity to the families?
I might have let it go at that.
However, on the Channel 1 evening news (link no longer active since the Israel Broadcasting Association closed its doors), Deputy Minister Ayoob Kara was interviewed on this same topic after it was declared in the item prepared for the broadcast that "no government minister felt it necessary to attend any of the funerals". This harsh statement was repeated in an interview with Eli Ben Shem, Chairman of Yad LeBanim.
It's a disgrace that the State of Israel, that takes children 18 years of age from their mothers and fathers, doesn't ask them what they will eat and where they will serve and where they will do battle and returns them in a coffin and nobody sees fit to come and pay respects to the family in its most difficult moments.
All that Deputy Minister Kara said in his interview clip was:
I regret the fact that I was not able to be there because I thought, mistakenly, that perhaps members of Knesset and ministers were not welcome.
While that does hint at the fact that Ayoob at least gave some thought to attending, it makes it seem like a glib response, something said out of necessity to appear like a nice guy and not very sincere. That is quite different from the impression I got from Ayoob's interview on the radio in the morning, in which he appeared to struggle more between his wish to go and express solidarity and respect to the bereaved families and his wish not to impose himself where he is not wanted. This is a legitimate dilemma, I think, and I can only wonder why his television interview would be cut so short as to eliminate the opportunity for us to see one of our representatives in a very human moment.
I had the opportunity to speak with a source connected with Deputy Minister Kara. He informed me that the interview for Mabat was, indeed, longer and that they had edited out everything but the sentence above.
Is there a valid reason for allowing an apparently thoughtful and sensitive politician (in spite of the fact that these are three words that do not seem to belong together in the same sentence) to come across as superficial and insincere? Was there an agenda here, either against this particular individual or against the current government?
While this particular instance is perhaps minor, and may cause you to wonder why I would invest so much energy and words in writing about it, I suggest that this small example very clearly demonstrates how what is presented to us as news is so easily twisted and how we are so easily mis-informed by the very news upon which we rely to inform us.
At first I thought the reporting might be reflecting something against Ayoob Kara himself, but as I wrote it, it became clearer to me that this was just another way to bash at the government. I noticed on the TV news item that only members or past members of the coalition parties were interviewed. Sitting MKs, even if they are members of the opposition parties and still claim to be Zionist, such as Yesh Atid or the Zionist Camp, could be equally chastised yet none of them were asked to speak to the camera. Was this just another jab at making the current government look bad?
News programmes are supposed to boil things down to a size the public can digest because the amount of news events happening each day is overwhelming and we cannot keep up with it all on our own. News programmes are not supposed to boil things down so much that the context is no longer available and the kernel of truth is perhaps rendered unrecognizable.

Conflict can be an extremely painful and disconnecting experience. It creates an us and a them- a separation that harms everyone. We put on our armor and blame each other. We begin to tip toe around and avoid each other. We sacrifice our authenticity. Over time, trust and safety are lost, and with our drawbridges up, we are powerless to reach each other. When this happens, we are not doing anything with intention to harm, but we are entrenched in our positions and lack the skills to communicate with love and care, and to ask for what we need in ways that work. We use tragic strategies that harm others and ourselves and result in disconnection.
How would all parts of our lives be enhanced if we had the skills to stay openhearted through conflict? What If we could foster curiosity and listen deeply to other perspectives without dropping what matters to us? Imagine being able to process your own difficult feelings and gain clarity and choice about what will really serve us while ensuring the dignity of others at the same time? What if compassion replaced shame and blame? Would this communication skillset support life being more wonderful everywhere? These skills can be learned. We can communicate in ways that bring us closer together, creating resilient, respectful, caring relationships, even when differences seem insurmountable.
Join Pam Orbach for six weekly sessions of learning the basics of Compassionate Communication. This is the heart of restorative work, What we practice, we become.

Харківський завод сільськогосподарських машин Мельгозе (1873–1923) — приватне промислове підприємство в Харкові, що спеціалізувалося на випуску сільськогосподарських машин. Засноване промисловцем Е. І. Мельгозе в 1873 році. У 1923 році увійшов до складу заводу «Серп і Молот».

Історія
Корпуси заводу розташовувалися в Харкові по Кінної вулиці, № 27(нині вул. Богдана Хмельницького.
У 1889 році на заводі працювало 58 робітників, завод виготовляв плуги, кінні приводи та інше знаряддя на 40 тисяч рублів на рік.

Завод випускав кінні молотарки, кінні приводи, сівалки, віялки, молотарки, жнивні машини та іншу сільськогосподарську продукцію, а також здійснював реалізацію імпортних жнивних машин, переважно німецького і американського виробництва.

While speaking with The Silicon Review, OnePoint Patient Care Leadership addressed how the company was built on the foundation of a patient first philosophy, its people and innovation.
The term 'hospice', which shares the same linguistic root as "hospitality," can be traced back to medieval times when it referred to a place of shelter and rest for weary or ill travelers on a long journey. The name was first applied to specialized care for dying patients by physician Dame Cicely Saunders, who began her work with the terminally ill in 1948 and eventually went on to create the first hospice – St. Christopher's Hospice – in a London suburb.
MORTON GROVE, IL — November 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OnePoint Patient Care, an industry leader in local hospice pharmacy, eprescribing technologies and Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) solutions, has increased its market share to more than 75 percent for hospice medication dispensing in Colorado.

Construction soon to begin at Theatre District

Grading work should begin next week at the former Imperial Mall site to make way for the first phase of the planned Theatre District project.
Attorney Tom Huston, representing Perry Reid Properties of Lincoln and its affiliate Theatre District LLC, gave that update during the Hastings Planning Commission meeting on Aug. 17 where commissioners voted 8-0 to recommend approval of the plan modification for the Theatre District Redevelopment Project. Commission member Jacque Cranson was absent.
Phase 1 of the project has grown. The project will start with mass grading the entire site.
Theatre Drive, which will connect 12th Street and Marian Road, soon will be established and utilities will be installed.
Huston said grading will take four to six weeks.
"We hope to have vertical construction on the balance of the phase 1 project commencing in October," he said. "That's our plan right now."
The multi-family residential building will be 78 units, instead of 75 as previously planned.
Design of the multi-family building is expected to be complete by Sept. 1.
Huston said there is a contract in place for construction of the 9,000-square-foot flex building.
The apartment building will be a $10 million investment. The flex building will be an investment of $1.5 million to $1.7 million.
The first phase will include the façade restoration of the former Sun-Mart building and parking lot for $1.3 million, as well as façade restoration and renovation of the former K-Mart building for $1.7 million.
There is an update to the tax-increment financing numbers, which now include $1.6 million for the multi-family building, $400,000 for the flex building, $400,000 for Sun-Mart and $500,000 for K-Mart.
The project ran into issues earlier this year when a contractor hired to remove debris from the razed mall building failed to complete that work.
That issue soon was resolved.
"We're pleased with where we are," Huston said. "We're happy to move forward. It has been a long process, but we got the final plan development permit approved about six weeks ago. We gave the architects the green light to proceed with everything at that point. That design process is concluding, and we're ready to move forward and hopefully see a lot of activity this fall."
There are eight more lots on the Theatre District property to be developed in future phases.
"We have a lot of interest in the eight additional lots, but we're moving forward with these four lots to begin with and I hope to be back in front of you maybe this winter, next spring with additional development as part of the Theatre District," he said.
Commission members lauded Huston as well as the project.
"It's exciting to hear the energy coming out of your voice that we're moving forward," Chairman Marshall Gaines said. "A lot of people I've been with have sat around grumbling. Just wait, there is a plan there."
Commissioner Willis Hunt thanked Huston.
"It's probably as thorough of a project as I've ever been involved in," Hunt said. "I really appreciate all the information you bring. You're very forward with everything we've seen. I know it hasn't gone as well as you'd wish, but nothing in construction or life goes that way."
Also during the meeting, commission members unanimously recommended approving a conditional use permit for the Hastings Tribune for the assembly/neighborhood use of Seaton Hall, a meeting area for events inside the Tribune Building at 908 W. Second St.
Seaton Hall is a 2,400-square-foot space that was formerly occupied by the Tribune business offices and the newspaper's advertising sales and design teams. It's located on the west side of the building, just off the alley between Burlington and Lexington avenues.
Most Tribune offices have moved to the east side of the Tribune building adjacent to Burlington Avenue.
"There used to be a lot of desks there and chairs and filing cabinets," Tribune Publisher Darran Fowler said of the space on the west side of the first floor. "Once you remove all those things out of that space it's a pretty wide open space."
The Tribune also has existing office spaces off Seaton Hall available for lease.
"That was our original intent, but the pandemic came along and we decided to pursue this opportunity to host events," Fowler said. "We sensed and heard there was a need for such things. We know the demand when it comes time for graduation receptions, small gatherings. That's basically what it is. It's a space for small gatherings."
There are four conditions for the conditional use permit:
Compliance with all city, county state or federal regulations.
The resolution authorizing the conditional use permit must be filed with the Adams County Register of Deeds.
The applicant agrees to enforce a reduced maximum occupancy of no more than 134 persons at one time.
The new use will require a change in occupancy permit and inspection.
In other business, the commission members:
Unanimously recommended approval for an ordinance and amendment to the Official Zoning District Map to rezone a portion of unplatted property generally located east of Lakepark Lane and north of 38th Street from "CP-3, Commercial Business Planned" to "R-1, Urban Single Family Residential."
Unanimously recommended approval for an ordinance and the amendment to the Official Zoning District Map to rezone Lots 14, 15, and 16, Block 15 of Veith's Park Addition on the east side of Lexington Avenue, just north of M Street, from "R-1, Urban Single Family Residential" to "I-2, Heavy Industrial."

Vathal or vendhaya kuzhambu is the ultimate Tambrahm rustic dish, made when you don't have fresh produce on hand, especially during the monsoons when the sundried vegetables from the previous year come in handy. Vathal means dried stuff basically any vegetable or certain berries like turkey berry (sundakai in Tamil), black night shade (manathakkali in Tamil) in their sundried form are added to a thick tamarind extract, with basic kuzhambu powder (spice mix) and boiled to a thick jam-like gravy, and eaten with rice. The flavor comes from the tadka/thalippu/tempering in sesame oil and the tart tamarind extract, the tartness balanced by the vathal or vegetable of your choice. Fresh vegetables such as drumstick, red pumpkin, onions/shallots are also used and are typically my favorites. If you have no vegetable or vathal on hand, one version of this uses papads. Fry the papads broken in pieces in the initial tempering, and proceed as usual.
Optionally, add a bit of jaggery/gud/raw brown sugar to balance the taste. I always forget to do this, but it adds a different dimension to the taste. Serve on top of hot rice, with a drizzle of oil or ghee, with some fried papad on the side.
You have neither: take one whole urad papad (plain), break into pieces, fry in the initial tempering oil, and proceed as usual. This is not very commonly done, but it's amazing!
Serve with hot rice, with a drizzle of oil or ghee and a side of papad.
Also great with cool yogurt rice on a warm summer evening.

Home Latest US Agency Selects Gombe for Implementation of State2State Governance Programme
US Agency Selects Gombe for Implementation of State2State Governance Programme
By Segun Awofadeji
Gombe state has been selected for the implementation of the United States Agency for International Development -funded state2state governance programme through the Development Alternative Initiative ( DAI) to support the state's reform efforts of making service delivery efficient and accountable.
This was disclosed by the Chief of Party, USAID, Mr. Tressan Sullivan, during a courtesy visit to the Governor in Gombe.
Mr. Sullivan said the main focus of the programme was to deliver key services in basic Education, Primary health care and Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sectors.
He said the key component of the project was to support the State in improving delivery of these public services at Local Government level, adding that the entry level of the programme is hinged on public financial management, economy and conflict analysis and mitigation.
He said the intervention was expected to commence operation in the State in the second quarter of 2021 and will continually work with the State and Local Government areas to boost capacity for better and effective performance in governance.
Meanwhile, Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya has lauded the interventions of USAID in the educational, economic and Agricultural development tailored towards human capital development in the State.
He stressed that the International Donor Agency had been playing a pivotal role in championing the training of Teachers at the primary school level and providing basic education materials through its Strengthening Education in the North East Nigeria (SENSE) project which aligns with the State's Better Education Service Delivery for All, BESDA.
He said if successfully implemented, both programmes had the potential of solving the challenges of basic education in the State.
"Equally the Rural Resilience Activity RRA being implemented by Mercy Corps which is aimed at supporting our local farmers with the Basic skills of improved farming and to provide input to rural farmers who are in the majority because 75 percent of our people are peasant farmers and they need that support so we are happy for the interventions".
Governor Inuwa Yahaya thanked USAID for coming with yet another intervention to compliment the efforts of the State government, saying everything hinges around transparency, accountability and good governance which is what his administration stands for.
"So far we have engaged in reforms, difficult as they may be, but we are trying to make sure that we change the situation for the better going back to the campaigns, we made promises to our people and that we cannot do without good governance, transparency and accountability".
He said his administration had instituted the Treasury Single Account, TSA, to ensure prudent financial management, improvement on the budget system through public engagement and the formulation of a ten year development plan for the State which will be launched soon.
The Governor said his administration had also established the Bureau for Public Service Reforms which is aimed at human resource management in the State and the enhancement of productivity among the State workforce.
He said his administration was open to transparency, accountability and good governance, citizens engagement and improved relationships with civil society organisations since they relate more with the communities.
Governor Yahaya told his guests that the centrality of Gombe had a lot of responsibility, as the state had been playing host to thousands of IDPs fleeing the conflicts in neighbouring states of Borno, Yobe, Adamawa and Taraba states, thereby causing a huge strain on the State infrastructure.
He expressed the hope that during the cause of the project, the capacity of civil servants in the State will be enhanced to deliver on development, generate accurate data for analysis as well as monitoring and evaluation.

How My Best Freelance Writing Jobs Came From Company Blogs and Digital Magazines! By Tim Leffel
For many, the phrase "freelance writing" conjures up images of famous magazines on a newsstand. Often the best-paid work, however, comes from companies that aren't in the publishing business at all. They're commissioning articles as part of their content strategy, to either connect with their customers or improve their website's search traffic.
In this declining print magazine world, most of my jobs now come from company websites and blogs. For years, I have written for the Viator Travel Blog, aligned with an international tour company. There, I've placed travel stories about Guatemala, Hungary, the USA, and spots all over Mexico. I've written round-ups for the blog of BedAndBreakfast.com and the hotel booking company Trivago.com. My latest was a feature story for a digital magazine, a great hiking adventure narrative that took place in Peru. It wasn't for the likes of Outside or Backpacker though; it was for the in-house publication of outerwear technology company Gore-Tex.
Other assignments have come from upscale rental car company Silvercar, coupon site DealsPlus, and finance site H&R Block. These companies know that the best way to get more traffic to their site–and generate leads–is to produce fresh content on a regular basis. So, they are willing to pay professional writers to generate articles that will appeal to their customers. My examples are from travel, but this concept can be applied to other specialties such as medicine, finance, education, or automotive.
Where do you find these opportunities? Sometimes, it's just a matter of keeping an eye on job board sites like MediaBistro, JournalismJobs or sites that find freelance job listings, like WritersWeekly.com. Other times, you stumble upon them in your research and send a pitch. Two of mine came through Contently after setting up a portfolio there to show my work. If you're a known expert in a subject area and have a high position for that on search engines, sometimes the jobs will come to you. If you see a company that doesn't have an online content strategy but should, go pitch your services to create one for them. Then, instead of a one-off assignment, you might have a steady stream of articles to produce.

Intense Pain In The Big Toe Joint? It Could Be Gout
If you have been experiencing intense pain and inflammation in the joint of your big toe, it's time to visit the doctor of podiatric medicine at Family Foot Health Center. Our specialist is uniquely qualified to determine the cause of your condition, which is potentially a form of arthritis called gout.
An attack of gout is triggered by an excess amount of uric acid accumulating in the joints. It's a common ailment affecting some three million people a year, and was once referred to as a "rich man's disease" because rich foods like meat and wine can indeed raise the levels of uric acid in our systems. Because the big toe is the farthest part of the body from the heart, it's also the coolest part of the body, and is thus susceptible to this temperature-sensitive condition.
This tendency for uric acid to build up in the system is often inherited, but can also be linked to conditions like high blood pressure, our diets, diabetes, obesity, medications, and a host of other factors. The symptoms of gout include intense bouts of pain that occur swiftly, mainly during the night or upon rising. Redness and swelling at the joint are common, and the area may feel warm to the touch.
To diagnose this condition, our podiatrist performs a comprehensive examination that may include a blood test and X-ray to rule out other causes. The patient's family and medical history, and their eating habits, are also discussed in detail. We may prescribe medication, recommend dietary restrictions, and suggest rest and immobilizing the affected foot in order to bring down the swelling.
For painful conditions of the foot such as gout, trust the expert: The doctor of podiatry at Family Foot Health Center. The level of care you'll receive stands alone at the top of our specialty. Please don't hesitate to contact us today to schedule an appointment.

NEW YORK (AP) - Whether the New York Rangers truly believed they could overcome a 3-2 playoff series deficit earlier this year doesn't matter now.
The Rangers did it against the pesky eighth-seeded Ottawa Senators in the first round, giving them confidence they can pull it off again against the formidable New Jersey Devils and reach the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in 18 years.
The historical calendar is in line with the dates of New York's 3-2 comeback over the Devils the last time these division and area rivals met in the Eastern Conference finals in 1994. None of the names are the same for the Rangers, and only New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur - and assistant coach Larry Robinson - still have the same jobs as way back when.
So the top-seeded Rangers' point of reference as they head into Game 6 in New Jersey on Friday night isn't the history book but rather their shared experience of rallying past Ottawa.
If they extend their season, they will be back at home on Sunday for a winner-take-all game.
"You can draw off that experience, just the feelings going into the game," Rangers captain Ryan Callahan said. "Just stay even keeled about it. We've got to go into an opposing building and win one game and get it back to the Garden.
"They're going to be a desperate team, too, to close it out on their home ice. We need to find that next level, that extra desperation. Obviously, it's a huge game, but we don't need to say that."
New York has embraced desperation much more than prosperity this postseason. The Rangers have won two in a row in a series only once and have never enjoyed a two-game lead in any of their three matchups. However, they are 3-0 when facing elimination - including Game 7 victories over Ottawa and Washington.
"We've been through these situations a lot this year, including in the playoffs," Rangers coach John Tortorella said Thursday after practice. "I'm very comfortable as far as our mindset. Today was a good day for us. As we approach our game, I'm very comfortable in where we're going to go."
That was not as easy to see Wednesday night in New York's 5-3 home loss to the Devils in Game 5. The Rangers fell behind 3-0 less than 10 minutes into the game, but managed to tie it in the opening minute of the third period.
However, a goal with less than five minutes remaining by Devils fourth-line forward Ryan Carter finished the Rangers for good. The loss was New York's first in these playoffs in which it scored at least three goals.
"It's a good group," Tortorella said. "It's a group that stays with it. There's not a lot of panic there. They just go about their business, and we're a pretty good hockey team."
They were the best in the East over the 82-game regular season, and they tied for the second-most points in the entire NHL. All that will be an afterthought if the Rangers fail to get to a finals matchup with the upstart Western-champion Los Angeles Kings.
If confidence can be conveyed in words, then the Rangers seem loaded with it as their season hangs in the balance.
Tortorella said goaltender Henrik Lundqvist will rebound from a subpar performance in Game 5 and "play his best game tomorrow night." He echoed that sentiment for top-line forward Brad Richards, who also struggled on Wednesday.
"It's tough when you go into a game like this. You want to win so bad, sometimes it's more pressure than you need," Lundqvist said. "When you're out there, you try to focus on the things you always focus on. The challenge every time you play an important game is to find a good balance mentally, but I'm trying to approach it the same way."
Tortorella is a master motivator, whether it be with words of encouragement or a dose of tough love that often results in benchings within games. No one is immune from that, as leading scorer Marian Gaborik found out in the Rangers' Game 2 loss.
The coach also has been less contentious with reporters recently, making postgame news conferences calmer even as the stakes have risen during the East finals.
Tortorella is no stranger to digging out of 3-2 holes. He coached the Tampa Bay Lightning to the championship in 2004, erasing such a deficit in the finals against the Calgary Flames.
"I don't have to motivate the team," Tortorella said. "I think our team is motivated. I don't look at it as overcoming a 3-2 deficit. We need to win a hockey game. We're preparing to try to win one hockey game, and we'll see after that.
"We prepare as we always do. There's no magic. There are no special speakers coming in. There is none of that."
Richards scored two goals in that Game 6 win for Tampa Bay, and Ruslan Fedotenko - now his teammate again with the Rangers - found the net twice in Game 7 to lock up the Cup for the Lightning.
That experience would seem to be invaluable, but maybe not.
"That was a really long time ago, and I had a concussion at that time so I can't remember really anything," Fedotenko said with a wry smile. "I remember winning, but that is basically it."

Gladney is only accepting new families to adopt children age 3+ years or special medical needs children from Taiwan.
Gladney works with two government-licensed child welfare foundations in Taiwan. Gladney's Taiwan program is able to offer adoption opportunities to families desiring to adopt a toddler or school-aged child.
Birth parents are typically involved in this adoption matching process. All adoptive family information shared with birth parents is non-identifying. Continued communication after placement, between the birth parent and adoptive family, is coordinated between the child welfare foundation and Gladney.
Children come into the care of a child welfare institute when a birth mother decides to relinquish her rights to a child or a child is referred by the social service department of a local county government. The youngest children are approximately 3-5 years old. There are many children ages 6 and older at the time of referral. Healthy and special needs children are available, both male and female.


For years I overcomplicated things in my business. This was making my life difficult and I started to ask myself the question – How can I simplify things so I can multiply my life?
Last week I had a full day strategy session with a client of mine. When he came to me he was overwhelmed with all the marketing he had to do, didn't have one ideal client that he focused on speaking to, and he was frustrated.
Our work together changed all of this for him. His business was too complex, and he thought the answer was more complexity.
But the secret to growing it wasn't more, but less.
You are no different from him.
Your schedule: Know the things you must do (and it probably isn't what you are doing right now) and delegate the rest. Do the stuff you are good at and love, but get out of the day to day commoditised work.
Your services: Less is more. If you are focusing on compliance work and dabbling in advisory services you will do neither well. You have to make a strong choice – and you have three options: Compliance, advisory or a hybrid of both. Until you know which you are going to choose, and then subsequently master that choice, you will end up overworked and stressed. And even worse, your clients won't be getting the value.
Your marketing: Avoid playing at marketing or "trying" content marketing or SEO. You want a simple sales funnel. One traffic source that you can scale up, and a conversion tool you can rely on.
Once you have got these things in place your business will be fun again. And your life will be more rewarding.
Simplify your accounting firm, so you can multiply it.
That way you will be more visible, vital and valued.
