TWELVE18 Media is set to change the landscape of television by developing meaningful yet entertaining projects and content. With careful selection of talent, audiences will be pleasantly surprised to see a variety of personalities that will positively impact our generation, through entertainment.

Maureen Aladin – Creative Director and Executive Producer for TWELVE18 Media, Inc.
Black Girls Create: What do you create?
I create digital and broadcast content and our production company also offers social media consultation. My focus is to create content that is uplifting, positive, impactful, engaging, and entertaining. Most recently, we just held a cast reunion at YouTube Space New York for the award-winning web series which I executive produced and created called My Life Offline. It features three of the top natural hair and beauty vloggers on YouTube: Nina Ellis-Harvey(@beautifulbrwnbabydol), Vaughn Monroe (@MsVaughnTV) and Chime Edwards (@haircrush). The show is a digital reality-based series that follows the ladies and the social media empires they've built all on their own. They've managed to amass a following of over 1 million plus subscribers of those who love them, those who hate them (because you'll always have those), and those who aspire to be just like them.The series chronicles their journey and gives you a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when they turn their YouTube cameras off. My Life Offline is about women who are transcending their digital profiles towards a bigger platform with the universal appeal of taking their online persona and brand, to the next level, sans all the drama, name calling, and brawls we see today. Outside of My Life Offline, I also have another digital show that was created by my production company called Comida Caliente. It was co-executive produced by myself and Stefani Vara and it's a digital reality cooking show featuring a Mexican-American family who is absolutely off the hook funny.
BGC: Why do you create and what is it about reality shows that made you want to step into that space in particular?
I am a writer at heart and I've been creating digital content for a long time. There was a time in my life when I used to be a singer and that sparked my foray into producing. I never really knew what producing was, and I'm very much a visual learner. I read the definition but it didn't mean I really understood the job of a producer.Through music, I created a show called The M-Spot. It was actually my very first digital show. It was such a fun time, but that was really when I started producing, I was like okay this is what producing is all about, I get it, I like it, and I fell in love with it. We're working on a lot of exciting projects with TWELVE18 Media. We're a growing company, and we have a very talented team of people who are very passionate about creating good content & content that we want to see. We're constantly coming up with these ideas. Sometimes the ideas that I come up with feel like they're not my own, I have a saying which I've coined that says "Inspired by God, Executed by Faith," I believe He drops these ideas into my head and I'm like "okay, I know how to execute!"
Inspired by God, executed by faith – Maureen Aladin
BGC: Who or what continues to inspire you?
BGC: Who or what inspired you to do what you do?
I work out, I pray a lot, I listen to positive music. I listen to gospel music, I listen to inspirational music. I listen to Les Brown, who's like my favorite motivational speaker. My dad told me about Les Brown when I was a kid. One of my favorite Les Brown quotes is "Some will, Some won't, So what." I also listen to Oprah and Ava DuVernay. I listen to people that are in the same space as me but who are also inspiring people through their own experiences and wisdom. I listen to Wayne Dyer. Those moments when I do get down, I will turn on a YouTube video and listen to Dr. Bill Winston or my pastor here in Brooklyn, Dr. A.R. Bernard.I believe that you have to constantly feed your mind with all things positive to keep you going.
I'm inspired by life. Inspired that I can wake up every day and have the opportunity to do what I love. There are a lot of people who are stuck and can't do what they're passionate about. Circumstances prevent them from stepping into what they really want to do. I thank God that I don't have those barriers, so I can continue to live out my passion. I'm bound to my passion and get to live it out. Is it hard? Is it difficult? Yes, absolutely, but I'm definitely built for it.
BGC: Why is it important as a black person to create?
I just wanted to create content that was normal, you know? I don't know if you're familiar with Black & Sexy TV but they're like the black Netflix and when I came across RoomieLoverFriends, probably through Issa Rae's channel, I was like, I love this! I started watching a lot more of their content. I totally support it because it's just us, but it's not us murdering each other, throwing drinks at each other's faces, cursing each other out. It's just everyday us and we don't see that enough. You need to see yourself because it gives you something to look up to, which is why the natural hair community was such a big deal because it was like a rediscovery of your authentic self. It's like I was born with this hair, why am I changing it for society? I've never been caught up on hair at all, and I've never had an identity issue, but I could relate to the girls because they were discovering their true selves. Of course, the implications of hair and society is a much deeper issue rooted in physical and mental enslavement. We've come a long way, and when you have the opportunity to see somebody being their authentic self, you can essentially relate and see yourself as well. You see that it's okay, you see that it's cool and that you have something great within you too. We have greatness within us. I think we should all tap into that, but if you don't see those images, it becomes harder to do so. Sometimes and unfortunately, you have to see something to believe it. Not everyone will believe what they can't see, which is why I wanted to create positive images of black women in media so women like me and young girls could have more images to believe in.
BGC: How do you prioritize your projects? How do you know when you need to simplify and practice self-care?
You need to have balance in life. You can't be all work and not have that balance that allows you to rejuvenate, meditate, and take care of yourself. I feel like I've paid my dues in terms of building my career as a producer. I absolutely love producing, but my producing plate can become very full. I actually had a very good friend of mine recently call, (because a lot of people like to share ideas with me), and she told me about an idea that she wants to do. I had to say I can consult you, I just cannot do another project. I love her to death, she's my ace, but I was just like I can't do another project.
BGC: It sounds like you've figured out, at least for yourself, and what was the journey like to get to this place, where you know your own capacity for projects?
Well, when I decided that I was transitioning from a singer into a producer, I was on a number of projects and I felt like I needed to be on those projects because it was necessary for me to learn. I needed to build my experience as a producer and so I was okay with working on a multitude of projects. After I worked really hard on several projects I was like okay this is it. I need to cut it down to my top three. As a creative being, you're always going to have ideas. It comes with the territory of being a creative, but you also tend to neglect other areas of your life and slack on balance. Balance is important to me, I think you should love what you do and you should also enjoy life, which means that it's not all work. It can't always be all work, you need time for yourself and your family so that you can come back with new ideas. I think that's a big part of knowing and managing my capacity. After I felt that I had gained a substantial amount of experience as a producer, I then decided that I would only work on my top three projects. Sometimes I still kind of get sucked into projects so I have to go back to the beginning, right now I'm involved in a lot of projects and that's why when I got the call for this new one I was like oh no I can't. My no is no and my yes is yes, I'm gonna be strategic and I'm going to mean it. You just have to go back to what you first told yourself. Revisit and reassess.
BGC: Any advice for young creators or people who are thinking about taking creating more seriously?
I believe that if you have an idea that's in your heart or an idea that keeps showing up in your life, then it's not there by accident. It's in your mind for a reason, and it's given specifically to you, for a reason. You're meant to bring it to life, but you should never overwhelm yourself to the point where you feel like you have to create it in one day. You should give it some thought, think about if you really want to do it, and then start making plans towards executing the project. Don't put any pressure behind yourself to get everything right. It's ok if you make mistakes, that's the whole point, that's how you learn along the way, but commit yourself to it. Believe that you can do it, be with a group of people who believe in you as well and make it happen. Take a chance with yourself and see whether or not you can bring to life what was deep in your heart, what you are passionate about. I think that people should just go for it, you know? Don't wait for anyone to give you the green light and say go ahead and do it. Don't wait for anyone to do that, you don't need approval from anyone, which is why we put so much content out digitally, because we are not in the business of selling gold. We know we have gold so what we'll do is put the gold out there and let it shine and when that shine hits you, you'll come to us.
BGC: What makes your work unique and special?
I believe in operating in excellence, so anything that I put out there I want it to be my best. You know for me, I serve an excellent God and it's not about being religious or spiritual I just have a relationship and I believe that if He's in excellence that I need to operate in excellence too, not perfection per se but I just need to do things to the very best of my ability if I'm gonna put it out there. People think that you can't execute what's in your head, people think that it's too hard to manifest what you've seen for yourself because of situations, circumstances, negativity, whatever it is, they feel that it's hard, and ok let's say yes it is hard, but it's supposed to be hard, nobody said it was supposed to be easy, so now that you know that how do you proceed? I think, people have to learn how to play "life chess" and find different moves. We have to figure things out and if one thing isn't working then it doesn't mean that you quit, it means that you find a new move., Dreams need to be simplified so that goals don't become dauntingly unreachable. Anything that you can envision is possible. Nobody else may see it, but if you can see it, that means it's reachable. "How" you get there doesn't matter, it's just about taking steps towards it every day. I believe that people need to hear that. People need to be inspired by that.
BGC: Any future projects you're working on?
Absolutely, we're doing a national search for the season 2 cast of My Life Offline. We will also be doing season two of Comida Caliente, the digital reality cooking show, and we've released a special red carpet documentary on Alyssa Cheatham who is a rising star. She plays Will Smith's daughter in the new movie Collateral Beauty. She is only seven and is an amazing actress, model, motivational speaker and now singer who just released her very first pop smash single called "The Weekend." The song is really good. It was written by my business partner (her mother), Sharra Dade. We are excited about Alyssa and what 2017 has in store. I am also the Chief Marketing Officer for Fragrances of Wine, which is my family's perfume business. It's me and my siblings and it's perfume that's inspired by Red, White, Sparkling and Rosé wines. We have more great things in the works for 2017 and we're thankful for everyone who's supporting our journey!

Perspectives on Mentoring
Zoë Dean-Smith, Senior Director, Global Programs
Mentoring costs nothing, apart from time. It is one of the most powerful gifts that one person can give to another and there is a place for mentorship in every society, at every level.
There is enormous value to be gained through mentorship.
Fundamentally, mentorship is an exchange. It has elements of giving and receiving on both sides. Mentors appreciate being offered the opportunity to give back and share their own best practice. This, in turn, helps the mentee to grow, to take that next big step beyond their comfort zone. Ideally, a mentorship pair develops a reciprocal relationship in which the mentor is also given an opportunity to reflect on her/his own and others' leadership styles.
Secondly, mentoring is a relationship that improves both leadership and career growth. Learning from someone else's best practice allows a mentee to bypass some unnecessary and possibly expensive business lessons. It gives the mentee the opportunity to see things beyond their own experience, to see a bigger or a different picture and to receive an impartial and trusted perspective. Within an organization, mentorship allows people to reach their fuller potential as an individual. An unexpected outcome of mentorship can include the opening up of networks, where the mentee is offered opportunities to connect with people outside their own environment.
Historically, generations of men have mentored and sponsored the next generations of men and boys. These relationships have proved to be so effective that it was time to apply and expand this investment to women. For women, particularly in the developing world, mentorship is a new and growing practice.
Within the Global Ambassadors Program (GAP), Vital Voices brings a global and trusted network of women leaders committed to investing in and supporting their own growth and that of others. For Bank of America, the program gives female executives within the Bank the opportunity to engage with women leaders from around the world for whom mentoring is a new and growing practice.
The Global Ambassadors Program has worked with 64 mentee women leaders in business, social enterprise and non-profit work from 33 countries across the developing world. These women come from different cultures and different societal challenges, the public and private sectors as well as NGOs and are all united by a set of common missing elements in both their leadership and career growth. The Global Ambassadors Program has addressed that gap by creating a new model, with women mentoring women as its backbone. This model is robust and holistic. Three elements that make this model unique:
The mentorship itself and includes one-on-one, group and peer mentoring.
We emphasize strategic planning, financial management, human resource management and communications in our business trainings.
Personal development and goal setting outside of the work arena are integrated into the program.
Since the beginning of GAP, we have witnessed the development of a number of extraordinary relationships and unexpected networks. For example, when Brazilian mentee Karla Borges participated in the program in Sao Paolo in June 2013, her mentorship goals included wanting to contribute to a better society, a better country. Her belief was that by empowering women, we can collectively increase the number of individuals working for change. Within two months after the program, Karla had created a legal support network for five of her fellow mentees in Brazil, had visited four of their organizations and made fundraising introductions to the fifth organization.
We have also seen multiple facets of business transformation. When Indian business owner, Sarika Bhattacharya, attended the GAP in October 2012, her biggest challenge was balancing her career as a human resources consultant with her passion for women's empowerment. She had both a consulting firm and an NGO. After the program, rather than dividing her energy between the for-profit and non-profit sectors, Sarika expanded her business to include diversity consulting. She now consults for such companies as Bank of America, Pepsico and Intel. In addition to this, Sarika has introduced an annual women's leadership conference called I Inspire. Read an update about Sarika here.
For a Vital Voices woman leader who has been mentored, her sustaining gift as a part of GAP is to return home armed with increased skills and thinking and to improve the conditions of her business/organization.
For the globally successful women leaders who serve as mentors, the program offers the opportunity to change mindsets. By traveling to different parts of the world, mentors gain fresh insights into different cultures and business norms.
Each Bank of America woman leader who has served as a mentor has claimed that through this experience, she has shared best practice, questioned some of her own learnings and has gained new insights into the conditions of women in different cultures. Read about Jennifer Taylor, chief operating officer for Bank of America's Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, and how she's connected to the Global Ambassadors Program from South Africa to India to Qatar.
We believe that the power of the mentoring relationship has the capacity to transform society. Relationships that extend over time and across geographies and industries — along with the profoundly transformative exchange of knowledge, ideas, data and perspectives — create a systemic, deeply-rooted talent pool that is put to work within economies and societies to advance the common good.
Spotlight: Karla Borges Furlaneto Spotlight: Sarika Bhattacharyya Spotlight: Jennifer Taylor Coming soon: Charlotte, North Carolina, May 8-12
We believe that the power of the mentoring relationship has the capacity to transform society.

Safety a factor in proposed JWPE
By Tasha Mahurin
mahurint@knoxfocus.com
The list of officials and organizations opposed to the proposed extension of the James White Parkway continues to grow. To date Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett, Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero, Knoxville Vice-Mayor Nick Pavlis, the Urban Wilderness Arts and Trade District, Ijams Nature Center, the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club, and the editorial board of the Knoxville News Sentinel have all expressed opposition to the extension.
According to a Draft Environmental Impact Statement, which both TDOT and the Federal Highway Administration signed off on in September, if the plan to extend the James White Parkway from Moody Avenue to the intersection of Chapman Highway and Gov. John Sevier Highway is executed, more than 60 homes and as many as five businesses would be impacted. However, the statement also maintains that if no action is taken, increased traffic and air quality concerns along Chapman Highway would continue to rise.
While the majority of the opposition to the proposed extension has been related to its potential impact on South Knoxville's Urban Wilderness Project, safety is a concern for those who support the extension.
TDOT tabulated crash rates for Chapman Highway from the Sevier/Knox County line northward to the Tennessee River for a 3-year period from 2007 to 2009. Overall, there were a total of 1,243 crashes over the three year period, which resulted in 10 deaths and 466 injuries
The majority of crashes occurred during the evening commute period between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Information gathered during the study indicated based on the types, locations, and severity of the crashes, that they were overwhelmingly contributed to by the number of traffic signals and relatively high volumes of traffic carried by the roadway, which results in congestion and backups at each light, especially during peak travel times.
"Crash rates and severity of crashes along portions of Chapman Hwy are substantially higher than statewide averages for similar roadway types," TDOT spokesman Mark Nagi told The Focus.
Traffic safety was one of the concerns identified by the Chapman Highway/James White Parkway Task Force first appointed to study the issue. After identifying the basic issues and transportation needs in the Chapman Highway corridor, assessing various options/solutions to those problems, and gathering input from the public, the majority of Task Force members believed that there was both a purpose and a need for extension of the James White Parkway south from Moody Avenue to Governor John Sevier Highway. They also stated that safety of the transportation system could be enhanced by creating a divided highway with full access control However, due to the potential environmental impacts, an EIS study was requested by officials and approved in 2005, with a final draft completed earlier this year.
"The Task force identified the need from increasing demand for a better commuter route for the fast growing areas of southern Knox County and the Seymour portion of Sevier County which could be addressed by the James White Pkwy," Nagi explained.
TDOT has scheduled a public meeting to be held at South-Doyle Middle School on December 6, at 5:00 p.m.
While those opposed to the extension have garnered a great deal of media attention regarding the matter, those who would like to see the project come to fruition have also contracted TDOT for more information.
"Individuals have communicated asking how they can make their approval known about the project. They have been directed to make written statements via the comment sheet available at the meeting or to write in to the address below after Dec. 6th post marked by Jan. 4, 2013 to make their opinion part of the official record," Nagi explained.
Those comments can be mailed to: Public Hearing Comments, ATTN: James White Parkway DEIS, Tennessee Department of Transportation, Suite 700, James K. Polk Building, 505 Deaderick Street,
Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0332.

As the historical model of education continues to come into contact with disruptive technologies, those technologies strike increasingly close to the heart of education's basic value proposition. Institutions like University of Phoenix leverage the internet to provide students with degrees more flexibly and inexpensively. This means lower profit margins per student for Phoenix, but much greater scalability than the traditional university model. Khan Academy and similar online learning programs ignore the degree/certification aspect. Instead, they aim a level deeper–at the actual provision of knowledge and learning–as the target of their technological optimization.
Code Academy, Dev Bootcamp, and Hacker School aim yet another level deeper. They offer the most direct proposition: the means and opportunity for lucrative employment. While many "ed-tech" startups are making attempts at broad innovations for education, these programs aim at a problem of narrow scope: the dearth of available, high-quality programming talent.

Anger is a protective emotion, but when it gets out of control, the consequences can be deadly serious. Anger management refers to the process by which a person learns how to identify stressors, take necessary steps to remain calm, and handle tense situations in a constructive, positive manner.
Anger management therapy is designed to help you decrease the heightened emotional and physiological arousal associated with anger. It is impossible to avoid all the people, things, and settings that incite anger, but you can learn how to control reactions and respond in a socially appropriate manner. The more you master yourself, the more you can master situations. The support of a mental health professional can be very helpful in this process.
Along with my colleague, Dr. Robert Puff, I wrote a comprehensive book on anger called 'The Everything Guide to Anger Management.' For more information on this book, please click here.
When working with anger management clients, I provide a controlled platform for the release of emotion while aiming to achieve positive and constructive responses, rather than negative and destructive ones. Clients are encouraged to examine the circumstances that trigger their anger and to become aware of their emotional state at each level of arousal. Affected people are taught how to use those psychological signs as a road map to control their anger through the use of more effective coping strategies. By identifying the emotional reaction to specific situations, my clients gain awareness and insight into the way their body responds to past and future circumstances. In addition, I work to help clients in identifying anger responses that may actually be defense mechanisms for other concerns such as depression or anxiety. Often, for example, people will express anger when, fundamentally, what they are really experiencing is hurt.

Q: Get String does not return value from the other class So I have 4 classes

*

*PrefUtil - Shared Preference to set and get data

public class PrefUtil {
    private static final String TAG = "PrefUtil";
    private SharedPreferences mSettings;

    PrefUtil(SharedPreferences prefs) {
        this.mSettings = prefs;
    }

    public String get_string(String key) {
        try {
            String value = this.mSettings.getString(key, null);
            Log.d(TAG, String.format("get_string: %s='%s'", new Object[]{key, value}));
            return value;
        } catch (ClassCastException e) {
            Log.d(TAG, String.format("get_string %s class cast exception", new Object[]{key}));
            return "";
        }
    }

    public void set_string(String key, String value) {
        Editor editor = this.mSettings.edit();
        editor.putString(key, value);
        Log.d(TAG, String.format("set_string: %s='%s'", new Object[]{key, value}));
        editor.apply();
    }
}

*OpenVPNService - uses PrefUtil to set data

private PrefUtil prefs;
prefs.set_string("payload", pl);
prefs.set_string("proxyhost", pr);
prefs.set_string("proxyport", String.valueOf(pport));

*HTTPSupport - to get or fetch data

public class HTTPSupport
{
    private Socket incoming;
    private String netDataString;
    private String[] bugHostRotate;
    private String[] bugHostRotate2;
    private String[] bugHostRotate3;
    private int countRotate = 0;
    private int countRotate2 = 0;
    private int countRotate3 = 0;
    private Random mRandom = new Random();
    private int k = 0;
    private int h = 0;
    private int i = 0;
    private Context mContext;
    private Socket mSocket;
    private PrinceUtil util;

    public HTTPSupport(Socket in){
        incoming = in;
    }

    public HTTPSupport(Context c){
        mContext = c;
    }

    public Socket socket() {
        Toast.makeText(mContext, util.getPayload(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        String trim;
        Socket socket = null;
        String remote = util.getProxyHost() + ":" + util.getProxyPort();
        }
}

*PrinceUtil - class to get data

public class PrinceUtil {
    private PrefUtil prefs;

    public String getPayload() {
        return prefs.get_string("payload");
    }

    public String getProxyHost() {
        return prefs.get_string("proxyhost");
    }

    public String getProxyPort() {
        return prefs.get_string("proxyport");
    }
}

The problem is that set string works it returns data when I debug it or toast it to MainActivity but in HTTPSupport when I call util.getProxyHost() it is null it doesn't return data. What I am doing wrong?

A: In the PrinceUtil class, the prefs field is never assigned. In Java, the default value of a reference type field is null, so attempts to call any methods on prefs will throw a NullPointerException. You can correct this by adding a constructor that allows an instance of PrefUtil to be supplied when creating an instance of PrinceUtil:
public PrinceUtil(PrefUtil prefs) {
    this.prefs = prefs;
}

Note that this is similar to how PrefUtil has a constructor that accepts a SharedPreferences instance.
You'll also need to do the same for the util field in HTTPSupport. The current code includes two constructors in that class, one that sets incoming, and one that sets mContext. This means that in any instance of HTTPSupport, one of these fields will be unset, and util will always be unset. I would recommend combining these into one constructor that takes all three values:
public HTTPSupport(Socket incoming, Context mContext, PrinceUtil util){
    this.incoming = incoming;
    this.mContext = mContext;
    this.util = util;
}

There are other unset fields in the source code provided, but they're also not used in any of the methods. I'm assuming that the code is incomplete, but these also need to be initialized before use.

A table of ten or so rows is easy to find information in.
A table of ten pages—that's harder.
Select the table, including the headings.
Choose Table > Sort. You'll see this window. It looks really techy and complicated, which it is, but I'll point out the really important stuff.
This part is very important. Be sure that you select Row where indicated. This means that it is the rows of information that will be re-ordered. However, you're sorting by a particular column, like the Name or Postal Code column, and Column will show up elsewhere in the window where you do the actual sorting. It's kinda stupid and complicated, but you'll get used to it.
Now you select the column to sort by. Leave Key1 selected, then specify the column you want to sort by (might be Firstname, but you just select the number). Also select the type of data, Alphanumeric or Numeric. If you're sorting by numbers, you MUST select Numeric. Then select the order: Ascending (A-Z, 1-9) or Descending (Z-A, 9-1).
Click this image to see it a bit bigger.
If you want to sort by two columns, such as by state and then by last name, for instance, then you'll want to use the Key 2 options. For Key 2, select the column to sort by, the type of data, and the order, Ascending or Descending.
There you are, all sorted.
The more separate they are, the more you can change one without affecting the other. And the more you can make changes fast.
You already know how to do this. Styles are one example. Another is the automatic number formatting you can apply in spreadsheets. Typically this is for numbers that express dates, dollars, percentages, etc. Here's the spreadsheet with no formatting, and below with automatic currency formatting.
You might not know yet, however, that you have the same abilities with numbers in Writer tables. Here's the same information in a table.
To quickly apply or change the number formatting, select the cell or cells, right-click, and choose Number Format.
In the window that appears, select the format you want. First select the Category, then the Format. You can fiddle around with the options below the lists, including number of decimal places.
Click OK, and you've got the formatting. If you change your mind later and want different formatting, it's easy to change; just repeat this procedure and pick different options.
Tables are a good way to arrange data. Nice, structured, borders between each cell, etc.
The only question is, how do you get the data into a table format?
You can type from scratch, of course. You can painfully copy and paste.
Or if your data is set up right, with a tab or comma or other item separating the data into columns, you can just convert the text to a table.
Let's say you've got this. The arrows are tabs separating the "columns" of data. (And let's say that it's actually about ten pages long, since this feature is a big timesaver but only if you've got a bunch of data to convert.) The blue is just artistic license.
Choose Table > Convert > Text to Table.
You'll see this window, where you can specify exactly what separates each column of data. It might be a tab, a comma, etc. Also set the options for headings, in the bottom part of the window. The example text here has headings, but yours might not.
If, through some sort of search-and-replace procedure, or for whatever reason, the % or & character separates each column, then you can specify that. As long as it's a keyboard character, you can specify it.
Click OK, and you've got your table.

Djerma horses are from Western Africa and the middle of the Niger. They originated from Barb and Dongola horses. The name Djerma comes from the tribes people of Djerma. To own a Djerma horse, in Africa, is considered a sign of wealth. These horses are held in high esteem in Africa especially by the tribes people. Their owners adorn the animals with colorful fabrics, fringes, braids, etc. The riders adorn themselves, as well. These horses can be seen "decked out" in parades festooned with the royal colors of red, burgundy, purple and blue.
They are dark colored -usually brown.
Their build is light. Although they are small they are fine runners. Because they are smaller and have a good temperament, some are breeding the Djerma to be used by children and women and sold outside the country. There are mixed feelings about this in Africa as many feel that Djerma Horses should be kept within the country as a symbol of pride.

Porter Ranch schools working to protect students from leaking gas, LAUSD says

By Greg Wilcox | gwilcox@scng.com | Daily News
PUBLISHED: December 3, 2015 at 6:32 p.m. | UPDATED: August 28, 2017 at 6:32 a.m.
With efforts to plug a leaking gas well above Porter Ranch likely to drag on for weeks, school officials Wednesday night outlined steps being taken to protect students at two nearby elementary campuses.
Vivian Ekchian, superintendent of Local District Northwest for the Los Angeles Unified School District, said that one step would be having nurses at both campuses during the school day.
Her comments came during the monthly Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council meeting at a local church that attracted an overflow crowd of more than 1,500 people, some of whom became boisterous during the public comment section at the close of the meeting. The session served as a briefing on repair progress by more than a dozen agencies, as well as what Southern California Gas Co. is doing to improve communications.
"We'll work with each and every family to make the best decisions regarding (their) safety," Ekchian said. "People have relocated, and now we need to know where so we can find the best schools for you."
Officials stressed that no evacuations have been ordered and that residents who are leaving are doing so voluntarily.
The district is not taking any chances if that order should come, Ekchian said.
"We are planing day and night for all possible scenarios," she said.
Ekchian said that the staff at the two schools closest to the storage field — Castlebay Lane Charter School and Porter Ranch Community School — have reconfigured some classroom space into play areas so students don't have to go outside for exercise.
Charcoal air filters were installed Thursday at the two schools as well as air purifiers.
The stricken well above the community in the Santa Susana Mountains has been leaking since Oct. 23 and has prompted 1,178 families to seek gas company relocation assistance, and 348 have been relocated as of Thursday, according to company spokesman Javier Mendoza.
The field can hold up to 86 million cubic feet of natural gas and it consists of 115 gas wells, some that date back to the 1950s. The field is now at about 80 percent capacity, said Jimmie Cho, senior vice president of gas operations and system integrity.
Some residents and the community group Save Porter Ranch not only want the leak capped, and quickly, they want the field shut down. Earlier Wednesday attorney R. Rex Parris filed a proposed class-action lawsuit on behalf of five individuals and the group.
The Los Angeles Superior Court negligence/nuisance suit states that there has been a constant flow of gases and fluids that sickened hundreds of the 30,000 residents who live the north San Fernando Valley.
The meeting featured some impassioned pleas from residents to have the field taken off line.
One of those came from Dr. Ram Dukkipati, who practices nephrology in Northridge and is affiliated with Northridge Hospital Medical Center and Harbor UCLA Medical Center.
He prefaced his comments to the panel by stating that he was rich.
"I will spend every one of my … dollars. We don't want you in Porter Ranch," he said to loud applause. "We don't care about the well. We want your company completely shut down."
On Tuesday the company was grilled by the City Council on the way it communicated about the problem.
Dennis Arriola, the company's CEO, admitted at that session that it had not done a good job and took responsibility for it.
At Wednesday night's meeting Gillian Wright, the company's vice president of customer services, said she understood the residents' concerns.
"We're focused on (fixing) this leak as soon as possible, but we are also focused on getting you back in your homes as soon as possible," she said.
Wright also noted that the company was putting up a dedicated web site where residents could get timely information about the repair process and other matters, that it has established a 24-hour call center for relocation assistance, and that it would open a community resource center in Porter Ranch and would create a community advisory committee.
"We are working as hard as we can … to minimize the burden on the residents," Wright said.

Get there early, introduce yourself, exchange contact information, follow-up and meet for coffee. If you like coffee and lively conversation about current events, go to a coffee shop several times a week, until your face becomes familiar to others. This is a great activity for introverts, because at coffee shops sometimes you don't even have to initiate the conversation; after several weeks of hanging out there, they come up to you! Build Your Group. Try out several interests: square dancing or chess or civil war history.
Once you have surrounded yourself with others who bring out your best, allow yourself to be better. And then support them to be better, too. Each week at choir practice I have an opportunity to choose. Will I sing from my egotistical self or my authentic self? Singing from my ego, I only care how I look which often leads me down the road of anxiety, fear and even arrogance. When I sing authentically, I am spiritually grounded, grateful, and even astonished. When our choir competed nationally and performed on the same stage as Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton, we rose to the occasion and sang better than we ever have. Who will help you be better?
On a job search, pay attention where you focus your attention. When I focus my eyes on my choir director, I sing better. When I focus on the 30,000 people at the Staples Center who would be watching us perform, my singing would have gotten worse. I sang with one voice with 49 other choir members and beautiful music was made.
Each of you have been given some incredible gifts, too; yet, where are you focusing your attention? If you focus on your mistakes, guess what? You will make more mistakes. If you focus on being adaptable and resilient, you'll bounce back from mistakes faster.
Have you found yourself in a situation where there was no obvious way out? If your best efforts are not getting you where you want to be, and your best thinking is keeping you stuck, perhaps it's time to try a different way.
Under what conditions would you bring in an outside career expert, like me? Regardless, bring me up to date about your current situation by calling 314-560-1088 or if you are ready to get started now, sign up for my two-hour diagnostic session that will pinpoint what's getting in the way and how to fix it. Why wait? Ready To Get Started?
What a valuable and generous article! I'll be sending people from my own site to come read it. Thank you!
Barbara, Wow! And you are welcomed.
Love this post Shary! I've sung in choirs since age 3 and nothing is more gratifying than making a joyful noise with friends-so glad you could share this encouragement!
Diane, Yes, music + people = joy!


'Moving Backwards into the Future is an interdisciplinary exhibition that features more than 100 of the finest Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander works from the NGV collection. The exhibits reflect different elements of Indigenous art history and culture from the early nineteenth century to now and explore the evolution and status of Indigenous art within the context of contemporary world art. Central to the exhibition is the idea that Indigenous visual culture – the world's longest continuing art tradition – is not a fossilised expression of an unchanging society but like the concept of the Dreaming is meta-temporal, that is, it incorporates the past, present and future into a complete and present reality. Moreover, Indigenous art is an aesthetic experience, a courier of visual culture, a seductive and eloquent articulation of identity, time and place.' Excerpt from catalogue.

Bush Administration Never Did Anything Bad, It Turns Out

We already know that nobody who worked for George W. Bush ever committed any kind of war crimes or did anything illegal in starting the Iraq War, because surely if they had the Democrats who control the Congress and the White House would have done something about it. Now we also learn that, when all those U.S. attorneys were fired in Bush's second term, sparking lots of whining from people who care about that sort of thing, that was perfectly legal as well. Hooray for Alberto Gonzales, who won't go to jail but instead will remain on the outside doing, uh, whatever it is he does these days! [NYT]

Minimum Wage and Living Wage: Millions to get pay rise in 2020 - will you get £930 extra?
NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE and National Living Wage are set to rise in April 2020, the government has confirmed. Boris Johnson has said nearly three million people will benefit from the pay rise.
PUBLISHED: 10:31, Tue, Dec 31, 2019 | UPDATED: 10:34, Tue, Dec 31, 2019
The National Living Wage (NLW) is set to rise by 6.2 percent in April 2020, to £8.72 per hour, the government has announced today. The bumper rise, said to be the biggest cash increase ever, will begin from April 1, 2020.

It results in an increase of £930 over the course of the year for a full-time worker on the National Living Wage, the government said.
The new NLW rate applies to over 25 year olds.
Nearly three million workers are set to benefit from the increases to the NLW, as well as the rise in minimum wage rates for younger workers, according to estimates from the independent Low Pay Commission.
The government has today announced that younger workers who receive the National Minimum Wage will also see their pay boosted, with increase of between 4.6 percent and 6.5 percent, dependent on their age.

As we enter a new decade, we're setting our sights higher, to help people earn more over the next five years and level up access to opportunity across our great country
It will see 21-24 year olds seeing a 6.5 percent increase from £7.70 to £8.20 an hour.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: "Hard work should always pay, but for too long, people haven't seen the pay rises they deserve.
"Our government will put a stop to that, giving nearly three million people from Edinburgh to Eastbourne a well-earned pay rise, including the biggest ever cash boost to the National Living Wage.
"But that's not all. As we enter a new decade, we're setting our sights higher, to help people earn more over the next five years and level up access to opportunity across our great country."

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sajid Javid, said: "We want to end low pay and put more money in the pockets of hard-working families. This latest rise will mean that since we introduced the National Living Wage in 2016, the lowest paid will have had a wage increase of more than £3,600.
"But we want to do more to level up and tackle the cost of living, which is why the NLW will increase further to £10.50 by 2024 on current forecasts."
Business and Energy Secretary, Andrea Leadsom, said: "We want to make the UK the best place in the world to work and grow a business. Employment is at a record high and as well as investing to meet that ambition, we also want to make sure that people get to keep more of what they earn.
"Our people's pay rise will put more money into the pockets of millions of hard-working Brits across the country - but we won't stop there. We want to make the UK the first country in the world to eliminate low pay in the next five years."

But responding to the announcement to the increase in the National Living Wage, the independent social change organisation, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, warned that the "rising tide of poverty" could continue.
Claire Ainsley, executive director at the independent Joseph Rowntree Foundation, commented: "The Government is right to take steps to tackle the injustice of in-work poverty and move towards a real living wage.
"But too many workers are finding that minimum wage increases are being lost due to high housing costs, and inadequate social security.
"To really make sure that those who are worst off feel the difference, the government also needs to act to reduce their housing costs, ensure social security properly supports people, and invest in skills and good jobs across every region of the UK.
"Otherwise the risk is that the rising tide of poverty will continue for the four million workers who have been caught in it, rather than offering the route out of poverty that so many badly need."
National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage changes in 2020
The National Living Wage (for over 25 year olds) will increase 6.2 percent from £8.21 to £8.72.
The National Minimum Wage will rise across all age groups, including:
A 6.5 percent increase from £7.70 to £8.20 for 21-24 year olds
A 4.6 percent increase from £4.35 to £4.55 for Under 18s
A 6.4 percent increase from £3.90 to £4.15 for Apprentices

1. This day started with an appointment to see the ENT as I have an off and on sore throat – very mild and maybe a couple times a week. Because of the length of time, I was urged to go see him since 15 years ago I had vocal cord cancer which was removed with surgery. The good news is that he said there was not even any sign that there had been cancer and he thinks that the soreness if creeping up from possible arthritis in the cervical vertebrae. Now I would probably not have gone, except that when they did discover the cancer, the reason I went to the doctor was something equally dumb. I simply could no longer sing in church. My voice wouldn't cooperate. So I went feeling very stupid about going, but finding the cancer early was a great idea. So this visit was good news.
And here is what they look like when in use. The little fellows go inside and get stuck to the sticky sides of the tent.
3. I went to get some meat out of the dog chest freezer which sits outside and found it had thawed out – but not completely. So with somewhere between 4-500 pounds of dog bones and meat from the hunter scraps last year, I did not want to lose it. It comes packed in banana boxes and I usually take a box out at a time and repackage it to put in the indoor freezer for them. Then I can take a couple days worth out at a time to thaw. PANIC button push time! I took a box of scraps inside, repackaged it and put in freezer, but now that freezer was full. I figured that temporarily I could put enough packages of bones in the garage freezer to save another two boxes of bones, so drove the car around to do so. DH showed up about then to help me. By this time there was enough water in the bottom of the freezer that the bottom of the boxes came unglued. We packaged the bones in grocery plastic bags, tied them shut and loaded them in the back of the car. Then we found that the outlet wasn't working, So I went around, found all the GFIs and reset them. The freezer came back on. So we reloaded the freezer from the back of the car. It may be that the freezer was dying and tripped the GFI. If that is the case, I will go to the used appliance store and replace it in the morning. It could also be that something else tripped the GFI.
Now you know why I use adrenal support supplements.
The scarf is now finished! I know I thought I could get it done before the end of August, but that just didn't happen. However, it is finished now and I can move on.
