Ačandara ( Аҷандара,  აჭანდარა – Ačandara) je vesnice v Abcházii, v okrese Gudauta. Leží přibližně 15 km severovýchodně od okresního města Gudauty v podhůří Velkého Kavkazu. Obec sousedí na západě s Durypšem, na jihu s Abgarchukem a s Aacy. Na severu a na východě od obce se nachází těžko prostupný Bzybský hřbet. Ačandarou protékají potoky Dochurta, tvořící hranici s Durypšem, Čbaarta a Aapsta.

Severně od Ačandary se nachází posvátná hora Dydrypš s 919 metry nad mořem. Místo slouží jako jedna ze sedmi svatyní abchazské původní víry. V okolí Ačandary se nachází též dolmeny, pocházející z 2. tisíciletí př. n. l.

Vesnický okrsek Ačandara
Ačandara je vesnické správní centrum s oficiálním názvem Vesnický okrsek Ačandara (rusky Ачандарская сельская администрация, abchazsky Аҷандара ақыҭа ахадара). Za časů Sovětského svazu se okrsek jmenoval Ačandarský selsovět (Ачандарский сельсовет). Součástí vesnického okrsku Ačandara jsou tyto části:

 Ačandara (Аҷандара)
 Aualica / Baraschu (Ауалица / Барасхә)
 Auasyrchva (Ауасырхәа)
 Blatchva / Kvabyryvita (Блаҭхәа / Қәабырыҩҭа)
 Dzybzyr (Ӡыбзыр)
 Habvy (Ҳабҩы)
 Cvyndyrta (Ҵәындырҭа)
 Džgydyrchva (Џьгыдырхәа)

Název, pověsti a tradice
Dle legendy byla obec v dávné minulosti napadena nepřáteli, kteří zajali veškeré zdejší obyvatelstvo, jejich dobytek a ukradli též veškerý jejich majetek. Jediné dvě osoby, které unikly zajetí, byly stařenka, která se sotva hýbala, a lovec jménem Čandar, který onoho dne nebyl v obci přítomen. Po svém návratu se Čandar dověděl od stařenky, co se přihodilo a pustil se do pronásledování nepřátel. Dohnal je v úžině mezi dvěma skalisky, odkud nepřátele napadl. Svým hrdinským činem Čandar pomohl osvobodit všechny zajaté vesničany, ale sám z boje vyvázl vážně zraněn. Vděční vesničané mu vyrobili z větví nejbližšího stromu nosítka a snesli ho z hor zpět do vesnice, kde nakonec zemřel. Větve použité na nosítka, potřísněné Čandarovou krví, poté vesničané zabodli do země a ty velmi rychle zakořenily. Vesničané proto k uctění Čandarovy památky pojmenovali stromy vzrostlé z těchto větví Ačandarcla (Аҷандарҵла – Čandarův strom) a později přejmenovali svou vesnici na Ačandara. V abcházštině tento název znamená "Tam, kde jsou Čandarovy stromy." Ve vsi se nachází obrovský platan, jehož stáří se odhaduje na tisíc let.

Dále se jedná o posvátné místo pro abchazský národ, díky blízkosti hory Dydrypš, na jejímž vrcholu byl kdysi postaven křesťanský kostel. Přesto od nepaměti je místními obyvateli hora ctěna dle způsobu jejich původní víry. Dle záznamů z přelomu 19. a 20. století se dochoval popis zdejší tradice: Na úpatí hory ten, kdo byl obviněn z trestného činu a chtěl své jméno očistit, provedl obětování bohu. Poté v doprovodu místního abchazského žrece vystoupil na horu, kde pronese přísahu, že je nevinen a svou nevinu hodlá dokázat. Tímto žrecem je dle tradice člen zdejšího rodu Čičba.

Obyvatelstvo

Dle nejnovějšího sčítání lidu z roku 2011 je počet obyvatel vesnického okrsku 1226 a jejich složení je následovné:

 1217 Abchazů (99,3 %)
 9 příslušníků ostatních národností (0,7 %)

V roce 1989, před válkou v Abcházii žilo v obci Ačandaře 178 obyvatel a v celém Ačandarském selsovětu 1522 obyvatel.

V roce 1959 žilo v tomto selsovětu 1759 obyvatel.

The PCC have not forgotten that the church needs redecorating as you may remember from an earlier email. We are now instructing Peter Rhodes to contact the preferred contractor to begin work on this at their earliest convenience. This an even more substantial piece of work than the bell tower, but we have an idea on costs and we have a time limited faculty or "permission to proceed".
We have dipped into the savings pot and been helped by your generous support via the "Hipton Hill challenge" sponsorship to pay for the tower repairs, but we will be inviting further assistance for the redecoration.
To help with this Anne and John Logan are laying on a concert at their house – a professional group – on Sunday 8th September. Tickets I believe are available contact Anne next week.
So watch out for scaffolding being installed in the church and the church may be restricted in its use for a short time – we will keep you posted on any developments.

Wildlife Commission Offers Waterfowl Hunting Opportunity for Youth January 31st
By Super User / Fishing / Monday, 22 December 2014 05:00
COINJOCK, N.C. (Dec. 12, 2014) — The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission has a limited number of permits remaining for a special youth-only waterfowl hunt on Jan. 31 on Currituck Sound.
The cost is $5 per youth hunter and the deadline to purchase a permit is close of business, Jan. 15. Permits can be purchased at any wildlife service agent location, online, or by calling 1-888-248-6834.
The hunt is for youth between 12-15 years old. Youth hunters must hold hunter education certification to participate in this permit hunt. During the hunt, the youth must be accompanied by a licensed adult. The adult is not allowed to hunt and does not need a permit. Both the youth and accompanying adult must attend a mandatory orientation session on Jan. 30. "All participants are provided guidance and assistance every step of the way," said BB Gillen, the Wildlife Commission's outdoor skills coordinator. "Youth and adults always have fun and learn — and typically are successful — at these events. This hunt in particular has been one of the most popular and successful waterfowl hunts for youth in North Carolina."
The check-in, dinner, and orientation will be held Jan. 30 — one day before the hunt — at the Hampton Lodge on Waterlily Road in Coinjock. The Currituck Waterfowl Association will provide boats, life vests, decoys and guides for the hunt. Youth hunters must bring their own shotguns and steel shot.
"This is a unique opportunity for kids to experience an awesome waterfowl hunting tradition and meet an outstanding group of volunteers who will work hard to provide a good time and a good hunting experience," Gillen said. "The Currituck Waterfowl Association has been partnering with the Wildlife Commission for years to provide the guides, boats, decoys, staffing — the whole shooting match. I commend them for their outstanding conservation efforts."
For more information on this youth hunt, contact BB Gillen at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 919-218-3638. The Wildlife Commission provides permit hunting opportunities across the state. These hunts allow for managed participation, provide opportunities for special areas and include special hunting opportunities for youth and persons with disabilities.

It's Not About Me
Today was the second day of the NAMI Connections training. For the most part, I really enjoyed it, because there was a lot more role playing than yesterday. The best way for me to learn is through action and imitation, so I definitely think that today's training was more productive, at least for me.
During one of the role plays today, I had an "Aha!" moment that helped ease my stress level-I realized that becoming a facilitator is not about me and I immediately felt a lot better. I had been really stressed out earlier, because I just could not let go a stressful incident that happened this past Tuesday at my NAMI group. To be honest, I really did not want to return to my group and my mind just kept ruminating and ruminating over what had happened. But you know, not everything in life is about me! I can use what I am learning at this training to help other people and I do not have to let what the person at my group say bother me. As my sponsor would say, "It's that person's business what they think of me." I cannot control other people, places, or events and I have come to realize that I too often try to control that which I cannot. I think constant worrying is a way that we try to control what cannot be controlled. As the day went on, when I started to get stressed about going back to the meeting, I would tell myself "It is not about me." Saying that eased off the pressure and now I have a new mantra that works.
We need to be humble and not codependent. I cannot control you and you cannot control me. So don't even try! Let us instead try to live together in harmony.

It Looks Like Wind Waker and Plays Like Super Mario 64. Fantastic.
We've been covering the delightful A Hat In Time for a while now, but not only have the developers recently launched a Kickstarter to help fund the development, I also finally got a chance to play it. Now I can tell you that without a doubt, this is project worth supporting.
If you've not heard of the game before, it's a "collec-a-ton" platformer, whose influences—Wind Waker, Banjo-Kazooie, The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario 64—are readily apparent. Hat girl, the protagonist, moves much like Mario does—to the point that I almost expected her to be able to do all of Mario's moves. There are slight differences of course: Hat girl, unlike Mario, can immediately double-jump—just as an example. She also has stuff like a pogo-stick/Umbrella and a hookshot, which aren't things Mario can use. This might make her cooler than Mario, even if she doesn't move quite as fluidly as Mario does (not yet, anyway).
She's definitely cuter than Mario, at least.
Few games seem to tap into that sense of wonder nearly as well—and this is that I've only tried a preview build which isn't finished and doesn't have all the assets.
Oh, and sure, I collected some orbs along the way. Why not? But mostly, I wanted to get lost in A Hat In Time's world. It's a place that reminds me a lot of Delfino Plaza in Super Mario Sunshine, though that might just be the tropical theme.
I didn't get to see most of these locations, although they sound enticing.
Time is falling apart and it is the job of the brave interstellar-travelling Hat Kid to collect all the time pieces and put them back together! But watch out, you're in a race against the evil Mustache Girl who wants to use time for evil!
If the devs manage to raise enough money, they'll also include co-op. For now, what you can bank on is a delightful game with five chapters, and these chapters have different acts—think doing different stars on the same level in Super Mario 64.
They're hoping to release A Hat In Time in early 2014 for PC and Mac. You can vote for it on Steam Greenlight here, and you can donate to the Kickstarter here.


I wanted to let you know how much I love your soap! I bought three bars (it was a variety) and they all smelled wonderful. On a whim I tried using the soap to wash my face and it's been absolutely amazing! Your soap doesn't dry out my skin or leave any weird soap residue.

The Grip of Death:
A Study of Modern Money, Debt
Slavery and Destructive Economics
Michael Rowbotham
Jon Carpenter 2007
This lucid and original account of where our money comes from explains why most people and businesses are so heavily in debt. It offers important insights into subjects that concern us all: mortgages, building societies and banks, food and farming, transport, poverty and wealth, and what's on the supermarket shelf.
It explains:
Why virtually all the money in the global economy has been created as a debt
Why only 3% of UK money exists as legal tender; and why in a world reliant upon money created as debt, we are kept permanently short of it
How and why mortgages are responsible for creating almost two-thirds of the total money stock in the UK, and 80% in the US
Why consumers can't get quality products
Why business and corporate debt is at its highest level ever
Why debts mean that a small farm can be productively very efficient, but financially 'not viable'
Why national debts can never be paid off without monetary reform
How debt fuels the need to 'grow', thereby revolutionising national and international transport strategies, destroying local markets and producers, increasing waste and pollution, and exacerbating resource depletion
How 'Third World debt' is a mechanism used by the developed nations to inject ever-increasing amounts of money into their own economies, and why debtor nations can never repay the debts
Why politicians who rely on the banks to create money can't fund public services
Why 'debt-money' is fundamentally undemocratic and a threat to human rights
The author proposes a new mechanism for the supply of money, creating a supportive financial environment and decreasing our reliance on debt.
"A radical, shocking and eye-opening expose of how our monetary system really works."
"A work to be cherished... stands out not only for the quality of the research and the writing, but for the compelling vision that it unfolds".
Economic Reform
"Essential reading for social and environmental reformers. It fills a major gap in accepted theory... Rowbotham's work places him on a par with the social reforming economists E. F. Schumacher and Henry George."

Federal district court judge Thelton Eugene Henderson was born in Shreveport, Louisiana on November 28, 1933 to Wanzie and Eugene Marion Henderson. Henderson grew-up in the South central area of Los Angeles, California in an all-black neighborhood. He graduated from Jefferson High School in Los Angeles and was the recipient of a football scholarship to attend the University of California at Berkeley. In 1956, Henderson graduated with his B.A. degree in political science. Later, in 1962, Henderson earned his J.D. degree from Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of California at Berkeley and was admitted to the California Bar in January of 1963.
Both his high school counselor and football coach was alumnus of the University of California at Berkeley and encouraged him to attend their alma mater. While there, he became interested in African American history and helped to form an organization that catered to African American students. After graduating from college, he was drafted into the United States Army, where he served as a clinical psychology technician. Thereafter, he earned his law degree and was hired as an attorney with the civil rights division of the United States Department of Justice, where he served from 1962 to 1963. During his tenure with the Justice Department, Henderson investigated patterns of discriminatory practices in the South. Returning to Northern California, he practiced general law in private practice and was the directing attorney of the East Bayshore Neighborhood Legal Center in Palo Alto. From 1968 to 1976, Henderson was the assistant dean of the Stanford University School of Law. There, he helped increase minority enrollment to twenty percent of the student body and taught law classes.
In 1977, Henderson became a founding partner of Rosen, Remcho and Henderson in San Francisco, where he remained until 1980. He also taught administrative law and civil procedure at Golden State University of Law in San Francisco. In 1980, Henderson was appointed to the United States Federal Court and became the Chief Judge of the United States District of Northern California in 1990, thus becoming the first African American to reach that position. In 1998, he became Senior U.S. District Judge. Henderson was the recipient of the 2003 American Inns of Court Circuit Professionalism Award for the Ninth Circuit in recognition of a senior practicing lawyer or judge whose life and practice serves as an example for others.
He is divorced and has one son. He resides in Berkeley, California and enjoys fly-fishing.
Thelton Henderson was interviewed by The HistoryMaker on April 7, 2004.

The champion attitude of Red Bull, the incredible reliability of Mercedes, and the collapse of the middleweights are the main results of the French Grand Prix
July 27, 2022 by Jack William
The last Grand Prix almost buried the intrigue in the fight for the title of world champion and the winner of the Constructors' Cup. However, race brought a lot of reasons for reflection.
Red Bull is the absolute leader in 2022
The victorious calm of the Austrian team can be characterized by the phrase of Max Verstappen on the radio immediately after the finish: "How did Sergio finish? The fourth? Great, another +7 points in the overall standings for us." It's hard to imagine that after last year's battles with Hamilton in every race, Perez cared about his teammate's place at the finish.
Now everyone at Red Bull is relaxed, enjoying the process and the victories. The latter is already in 8 in 12 races of the season. Verstappen's lead in the individual standings reached 63 points, and Red Bull is 82 points ahead of the competition. Such a lag is almost impossible to win back. Although in the case of Sergio Perez's failures and solving his problems, Ferrari may still try to impose a fight in the team standings.
Mercedes is the best in terms of reliability and loss minimization
After almost every qualification this season, the German team is written off in the race. However, the last four Grands Prix show that the Silver Arrows look very good at a racing pace. Verstappen's pace is certainly far away, and the Ferrari is slightly ahead. But in France, Perez was left behind in the face-to-face fight, which was a great sign, as was the first double podium of the season. Another feature of the current Mercedes is the ability to squeeze the maximum in any situation. Russell had some minor mistakes in two races, and there is nothing else to remember by and large.
If we talk about competitors, then Ferrari has not had clean races for a long time – then a mistake in tactics, then a delay at the pit stop, then a mistake by the pilots themselves. Therefore, it is very rare to see two pilots of the Italian team in the TOP 5 at the finish line. Red Bull is also sometimes unlucky, especially Perez. And Verstappen drove through the wreckage in the UK, which is why he lost the victory. And Mercedes is already getting closer to Ferrari in the Constructors' standings with stable finishes – only 44 points behind.
"Small" teams are sinking lower and lower
The beginning of the season in this regard gave a wonderful intrigue. Kevin Magnussen on Haas and Valtteri Bottas on Alfa Romeo regularly scored points. Gradually, progress was made in Alfa Tauri, and Alex Albon was gaining credit points on a very modest Williams. If we take the last few races, we can note the following. Bottas has not scored points for a long time, Alfa Tauri with an update package in France looked even slower, and Aston Martin scores points only with a large gathering of competitors.
In this regard, only Haas looks good – Mick Schumacher scored points in the last races. In France, Magnussen could have done it, but a fine for changing the engine prevented it.
Now both Alpin cars regularly get into the TOP 10, and Lando Norris usually scores points. So it turns out that if the leaders have no problems, then the rest are fighting only for the 10th position.
Let's say "THANK YOU" to the new rules
Many people have been waiting for the transition to the new regulations, and we can sum up the first results: expectations are being met so far. On some tracks, we see a wheel-to-wheel struggle and bright overtaking. Of course, most overtaking takes place due to DRS. But it is precisely the other aerodynamics that allows you to stay behind the competitor's car. All this leads to the fact that the pilots can fight side by side for several turns in a row. Of course, this is not yet a return to the golden time of Formula 1 in terms of overtaking, but it is already a big step forward.

Jana Schmieding and Abby Lovett want to raise the value of the New York City apartment that they own, so they're taking a three-day weekend to renovate their kitchen. They soon find that renovating in the city is not so easy. From getting supplies and tools to their home to their lack of construction knowledge, everything seems to stand in their way. As the obstacles increase, they ask for an extra day off and have to do battle with a snowstorm.


You see the razor-thin models gracing the covers of magazines?you watch actors and actresses on the big screen who seem to never gain a pound. And you wonder: How do I differ from them? You may be surprised to learn that a number of famous people at one time had difficulty maintaining a healthy weight. But they were able to conquer their problem, thanks to a new-and-improved, healthy view of eating.
For these women, healthy eating became a habit?a habit they refused to break. They themselves recognized the tremendous role that psychology plays in weight loss. They refused to give in to negative feelings of frustration and denial and chose a positive path instead. The women also made it a point to weigh themselves regularly so that they could chart their progress.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of these women?s experiences was the fact that their weight loss actually came in spurts. At times, they regained their weight, but they did not let that deter them from their final goal. They simply viewed their setbacks as challenges that they needed to overcome. This may be the key psychological trait that separates successful dieters from unsuccessful ones?perseverance. In essence, these women were able to change their personalities in a positive way in order to achieve their long-term weight loss goals.
It must be noted here that the psychology of weight loss is a complicated matter. There is no single ingredient that can turn a fat person into a thin one. However, recognizing that there is a psychological component to successful weight loss may, in fact, be half the battle. Once an individual recognizes that he or she is engaged in a psychological fight, he or she is better able to do battle. By retraining oneself to seek healthy approaches to diet, one can, in effect, mold oneself into a new individual?one that no longer lives to eat, but simply eats to live.

Gary Nathaniel Matthews Jr. (born August 25, 1974) is an American former professional baseball outfielder. He played Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1999 to 2010. Matthews is the son of the 1973 Rookie of the Year, 1979 All-Star, and former Philadelphia Phillies broadcaster Gary Matthews.

Career

Early career

Matthews began his career with the San Diego Padres in 1999 and has also played for the Brisbane Bandits of the Australian Baseball League, Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Mets, Baltimore Orioles, Texas Rangers, and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. He was traded by the Mets to the Orioles for John Bale on April 3, 2002. Up until 2006, Matthews was not a big figure in baseball, getting only 2,167 at bats over his first seven years (1999–2005).  During that time, he hit 59 home runs, stole 54 bases, batted .249 and had a .397 slugging percentage.

2006 season

Matthews got off to a fine start in the 2006 season, and as a result he was chosen to play in the 2006 All-Star Game. He and his father were the 14th father-son combination to appear in an All-Star Game, as his father took part in the 1979 game.

Matthews is known for his jumping skills and flair for the dramatic in the field, often taking away what would be home runs in the process. His home run-stealing catch against Mike Lamb on July 1, 2006 was so outstanding, Lamb himself applauded after the play. Team radio announcer Eric Nadel said it was the best catch he's ever seen a Rangers outfielder make in his 26 years with the ballclub. It was later called the #1 defensive play ever performed by The Best Damn Sports Show Period.

On September 13 of the same year, Matthews hit for a natural cycle in a game against the Detroit Tigers, with a single for his first hit, a double for his second, a triple for his third, and a home run for his fourth.

After his fine performance in 2006, with 19 home runs, 79 RBIs, and 194 hits (including 44 doubles), and respected defensive work in the outfield, he was signed by the Angels to a 5-year contract worth $50 million.  Many baseball writers such as ESPN's Rob Neyer have called it one of the worst contracts of all time, citing that Matthews' prior performance was never good enough to deserve it and that his subsequent drop-off should have been predictable to the Angels.

Human growth hormone controversy
On February 27, 2007, the Times Union, an Albany, New York newspaper, reported an investigation regarding a steroid ring that involved more than two dozen doctors, pharmacists and business owners who have been, or will be, arrested in Alabama, Texas, Florida and New York. The investigation uncovered evidence that testosterone and other performance-enhancing drugs were purchased by current and former MLB players, NFL players, college athletes, high school coaches, a former Mr. Olympia champion and another leading contender in the bodybuilding competition. One of the baseball players named was Gary Matthews Jr. The evidence listed led to Matthews being named in the Mitchell Report. As a result of being naming in the report, he was given the derogatory nickname Gary Matthews Juicer.

In coordination with the team's wish that Matthews make a statement on the matter, he denied using HGH. The Angels had reportedly threatened to void Matthew's five-year, $50 million contract if he did not give a response to the allegations. If he in fact took human growth hormone (HGH) prior to its addition to Major League Baseball's "banned substances list" in 2005, then he would be "grandfathered in", therefore resulting in no punishment but a stern warning, if anything, never to use HGH or any other substance banned by MLB in an attempt to further enhance his playing abilities.

2008 season

Matthews had 8 home runs and batted .242 for the 2008 season.

2009 season
On July 10, 2009 he got his 1,000th hit against Joba Chamberlain of the New York Yankees in the second inning. Matthews was the last hitter of the Angels 2009 season, striking out against Mariano Rivera to end game six of the 2009 American League Championship Series.

2009–2010 offseason and trade to Mets
After the end of the season, Matthews went public with his desire to be traded to another team in spite of having two years left on his contract. "I don't expect to be back; it's time to move on", Matthews said. "I'm ready to play for an organization that wants me to play every day. This organization has other plans, and that's OK." The OC Register's Sam Miller doubted Matthews could find a job with another team, comparing him to other aging player with similar attributes. While calling Matthews' contract the sixth biggest franchise-killer, SI.com said the trade outlook for Matthew was not good. "The Angels are reportedly shopping Matthews, but it's hard to imagine any takers unless L.A. eats most or all of his remaining salary."

On January 22, 2010, Matthews was traded to the New York Mets for relief pitcher Brian Stokes. The Angels picked up $21.5 of the $23.5 million left on Matthews' contract. The trade was met with widespread surprise. Buster Olney, writing for espn.com, wrote the Mets were "seeing something in him that other teams are not seeing." Quoting an anonymous talent evaluator for a Major League team, "Matthews is a player to be avoided. Slow bat. Declining range. And above all else, a player who wants to be a regular and will be an unhappy distraction in your clubhouse when he's not in the lineup every day", while another executive called the move 'baffling.' Fangraphs' Matthew Carruth called the trade "close to a wash" while Rob Neyer of ESPN.com said "One might argue that the Mets just gave up something for less than nothing." With regular center fielder Carlos Beltrán out after having undergone surgery, Matthews was the starting center fielder for the Mets on opening day.

On June 4, Matthews was designated for assignment after batting .190 in 58 ABs.  On June 15 Matthews was released by the Mets.  He signed a minor-league contract by the Cincinnati Reds on June 23. He was assigned to Triple-A Louisville, where he hit .313/.359/.490. However, he was not promoted to the majors, and on July 24, he opted out of his contract with the Reds and became a free agent.

Raúl España
Director, Institute for Sociological Research (IDIS), La Paz, Bolivia
On 21 August 1971, Fr. Mauricio Lefebvre Beaudry, OMI was assassinated on his way to help the victims of the violent coup d'état of Hugo Bánzer Suárez. This year, 2021, marks the 50th anniversary of this painful event. The Institute for Sociological Research (IDIS), which has borne his name since 1999, published in August a compilation of documentaries, testimonies, lectures, articles and photographs on Mauricio Lefebvre. The tribute included a lecture by Hugo José Suarez, "Maurice Lefebvre: a fundamental sociology".
Maurice Lefebvre was born in Saint Denis, Monterey, Canada, on 6 August 1922. In 1940, he entered and was formed to be a Religious at the Oblate Seminary in Chambly, and in 1948 he was ordained a priest in Canada. He arrived in Bolivia in 1953. He worked in the mining centres of Llallagua, Siglo XX and Catavi where he showed his deep social sensitivity. In 1958 he entered the Higher University of San Andrés (UMSA) in La Paz, Bolivia to study. He then travelled to Rome where he studied sociology. In 1966 he returned to the country and promoted the work of the "Church and Society in Latin America" (ISALP), an institution that brought together actors from different fields committed to social change in Bolivia. In 1968 he joined the UMSA and promoted the creation of a degree in Sociology. He died on 21 August 1971.
Mauricio Lefebvre, in his career, demonstrated that although sociology as a science tends towards objective knowledge of social reality, this is not contradictory to the social commitment that should characterize the sociologist. Commitment to the thirst for justice, to the defence of freedom not only as a realization of civil and political rights but also of social rights and, above all, commitment to contribute to the suppression of the social inequalities that undermine our dignity as human beings.
In this respect, Mauricio pointed out: "I do not observe our national reality as a 'disinterested' technician who has been entrusted with the study of a socio-economic sector and the elaboration of a report with its corresponding evaluations and recommendations. I will make my analysis as the Bolivian I consider myself to be, a Bolivian who is committed to the social progress of his country. I have lived in Bolivia since the beginning of 1953 and I hope to live here for the rest of my life. If I was not lucky enough to be born in this country, I consider myself Bolivian anyway, because I believe that the place where one has freely chosen to live, where one has been received, is more decisive for one's national identification, and not the place where one was born, without any initiative of one's own."
From his religious perspective, he also stressed the primacy of social commitment; for Fr. Lefebvre, as a priest of the Catholic Church, the spiritual dimension was insufficient if it was not intimately linked to the social dimension: "Can the most beautiful lesson of catechism interest these people in misery: the underfed, the unemployed, the malnourished and the homeless, if it does not help them to get out of their misery?"
"… to be the presence of Christ and of the Church in the midst of a suffering world and to seek with the people the remedies to these evils: that is why [it is important to have] study circles with the men of the slums and community development projects".
But, for Fr. Lefebvre, this commitment should not be just a declaration, a show of good intentions, but should be witnessed by life itself, by action: "to be an effective witness of Christian life in the midst of people of all ideological, political, religious, anti-religious tendencies"; this commitment therefore requires "…all the love and all the courage necessary to risk one's skin."

One barrier to energy savings is the perception that assessing the efficiency of an air compressor network is disruptive and time consuming. In this article Stef Lievens, business line manager for Industrial Air at Atlas Copco Compressors UK, argues that, when approached correctly, the process can be efficient, fast and hassle-free.
When conducted responsibly, compressed air energy audits can quickly flag-up no-obligation opportunities for improvements and energy savings that companies can either implement themselves or work with their partners to realise.
This is particularly pertinent for companies seeking to implement an energy management system while working towards achieving ISO50001. There's also a strong case for companies that need to comply with Phase 2 of ESOS, which requires participating companies to conduct audits to identify cost-effective energy-efficiency opportunities.
As air compressors typically consume between 10 to 12% of a factory's electricity, and sometimes up to 30 per cent, the potential for realising energy savings by conducting a compressed air energy audit shouldn't be overlooked.
Thankfully, the initial step couldn't be any easier and involves a visual assessment, such as a free #airCHECK service, that can be conducted in as little as 10 minutes; without any disruption to production. By nature, this type of exercise is intended to flag-up 'quick-win' opportunities for end users to fix costly air leaks and address inefficient operating practices; such as leaving compressors to run during periods of low-demand like evenings and weekends.
Some companies may be under the illusion that their compressed air system is highly efficient, or simply happy that it is operating sufficiently. In either case, it causes no harm to undertake a quick #airCHECK, which can also be used to highlight whether a compressed air system is non-compliant or losing serious money.
For those wishing to investigate the potential savings in more depth, the next stage is to perform a straightforward data-logging exercise; such as an iiTrak system energy audit. Again, this type of no-obligation service is intended to be unobtrusive, with the required hardware usually taking less than 15 minutes to install. After set-up, the data logging device is left to operate for a one-week period, during which AIRchitect software intelligently analyses compressed air usage patterns.
Following this, participating companies will receive a free and detailed report, outlining where compressed air production improvements or opportunities to reduce energy consumption could be made; as well as highlighting any non-conformance with ISO standards. It's at this stage when participating in an energy audit usually shows its true value. This is because the potential process and production enhancements, not to mention financial savings, are often compelling enough to enable a plant or energy manager to make a very strong business case for their organisation to invest in a compressed air upgrade.
