1. ACTEA has a new name!
ACTEA announces a change of its name to the Association for Christian Theological Education in Africa. The acronym ACTEA remains the same because it continues to have good name recognition. Other sister organizations in ICETE use the word association because they do more than accreditation, and ACTEA agrees.
2. ACTEA staffing
Many of our readers will have heard of the shocking and unexpected death of the ACTEA chairman, Dr. Douglas Carew (Sierra Leone), in November, only three weeks after he chaired the ACTEA Executive Committee that met in Nairobi after the ICETE consultation. Dr. Carew's untimely death and other factors caused a significant shortage of ACTEA personnel, so a small team met in Nairobi in February to plot the way forward. They included Dr. Desta Heliso from Ethiopia, Dr. Bungishabaku Katho from DRC, Rev. Joe Simfukwe from Zambia, Dr. Stephanie Black from AIU (Kenya), Dr. Paul Sanders from ICETE and Dr. Rich Stuebing (ex-Zambia, now USA).
Of the many decisions made at that meeting, a few are highlighted here:
The Executive Committee will be enlarged in order to include a wider representation of the ACTEA family, both geographically and linguistically.
The ACTEA office will move to Nairobi, Kenya from its present location in Ndola, Zambia. We already have a place to rent and a part-time office administrator, so we hope to announce further details soon. Being closer to the AEA (Association of Evangelicals in Africa) continental office should have practical benefits to ACTEA.
Several donor organizations have indicated clear interest in supporting the hiring of ACTEA staff in 2013, so plans are in motion to do that. Soon ACTEA will give more details on the positions that will be filled.
Dr. Rich Stuebing has agreed to be the ACTEA Interim Coordinator for the rest of 2013, so he will carry most of the administrative responsibility until the designation of a full-time ACTEA Director. He will also be the main link with ACTEA institutions at the various levels of the accreditation process and will be assisted by the ACTEA Executive Committee, which will meet again in Nairobi on August 10. Dr. Stuebing taught in Zambia for more than forty years and has a Doctor of Ministry degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Some institutions will be familiar with his thesis, the ACTEA monograph Training for Godliness in African Theological Education.
3. How to contact ACTEA during the interim period
Until the Nairobi office is operational, the best way to contact ACTEA is to use the email address of the Director (actea.africa@gmail.com) or the Deputy Director (adm.ass.actea@gmail.com). Dr. Stuebing is available personally at rwstuebing@gmail.com.
4. ACTEA Council will meet in Nairobi on November 15/16, 2013 SAVE THIS DATE!
All accredited institutions are asked to send a representative to this important meeting, so please let the ACTEA office know who will attend. If transportation costs are a major hindrance, ACTEA may be able to help with a subsidy for those travelling from a distance.
5. ACTEA Librarians' eNews
ACTEA friend David FitzPatrick from the Bible Institute of South Africa has agreed to coordinate another issue for us. If you know of a topic or an article that would be of interest to ACTEA Librarians, please contact David directly at dfitz@bisa.org.za.
6. ACTEA Associate status
ACTEA is happy to announce the official approval of this new type of accreditation, which is custom-made for institutions that already have recognition from another organization (usually the government). The process is shorter, costs less and seeks to maintain an evangelical ethos at the institution concerned. More details may be obtained from the ACTEA office.
7. A call for prayer
ACTEA staff and committee members greatly appreciate your prayers for these days of transition. Please remember staffing concerns, moving the office, relationships with ACTEA institutions, finances, services (such as Librarians' eNews) and donor support.

Engelke, Matthew
A Problem of Presence: Beyond Scripture in an African Church
Berkeley: University of California Press, 2007. 319 pp, pb, $27
This book is an anthropological analysis of an unusual branch of the well-known Zimbabwean independent/indigenous church group known as the Masowe Apostles, which traces back to Johane Masowe and his 1932 vision in what is now Zimbabwe (there is a helpful biographical section on Masowe). The particular group studied here meets on Fridays, not on Saturdays as most of the other groups do, and is therefore known as the Friday Masowe. The other distinctive of this group, and an important focus of this book, is that they do not read the Bible. This AIC insists on having a "live and direct" faith, not one that depends on a material book, claiming that Jesus and the apostles did not have a Bible either, so biblical truth is greater than the biblical text. They depend on the Holy Spirit alone, and healing is a major emphasis, as with other Masowe groups. Engelke states the main focus of his concern in the concluding chapter: "The problem of presence [i.e., the Holy Spirit] is a problem of representation—of how words, objects and actions get defined as such and, in the process, become significant". The author is an anthropologist of religion at the London School of Economics, and this book won the 2009 Turner Prize for Ethnographic Writing. Engelke provides helpful historical and cultural background, noting that individual dependence on the written word can replace the African traditional emphasis on community. He also outlines how the Friday Masowe outlook relates to that of other Africans such as Desmond Tutu, and political leader Canaan Banana of Zimbabwe (the former said the Bible led to liberation; the latter to exploitation—because the missionaries gave Africans the Bible and took their land). The author also shows familiarity with Zimbabwe church historians Terence Ranger and Clive Dillon-Malone who have both written on the African Apostles. Because it is primarily an ethnographic study and sometimes relies on technical terminology, this is not a book that will have wide interest outside of southern Africa and cultural anthropologists. Readers may well be frustrated that, as an anthropologist, the author hesitates to make moral judgments on issues such as a key contact/leader being convicted of raping the women who came for healing ("for me it is a sociological point, not a religious one"). Most Christians will also be rightly startled and troubled by the group's avoidance of Scripture. The Friday Masowe seem a striking example of how an AIC group that considers itself Christian can depart from basic Christian understanding and practice in its responsiveness to context.
Ndjérareou, Abel
De Quelle Tribu Es-Tu?
Abidjan: Les Editions PBA, 2007. 143 pp, pb
[address order inquiries to: abel.ndjerareou@gmail.com]
Ndjérareou, originally from Chad, was formerly Dean of the Faculté de Théologie Evangélique de Bangui (FATEB/BEST) in the Central African Republic. Ndjérareou aims to bring a theological, missiological and ethical approach to bear on the problem of tribalism, in brief to answer the question, 'what does God say?' The book consists of four chapters, 'God's Reply', 'Jesus' Reply', 'The Church's Reply' and 'The Church Leaders' Reply'. Ndjérareou considers the biblical approach to ethnicity, particularly emphasising the implications of the creation of all human beings in God's image, and the malignant effects of the Fall on every human relationship, including ethnic difference. In 'Jesus' Reply' he argues from the Great Commission that the great purpose of Christ's work was to create one great new family out of all the nations, such that the church is a new and unique tribe. In the last two sections he applies the biblical teaching to the church and its leadership, where too often the blood of tribe carries greater weight than the blood of Jesus. Accordingly, he calls on the church and its members to recognise their transformed identity and to live it out; and on its leaders to fulfil their prophetic, intercessory and teaching roles with respect to tribal difference, and themselves to be an example to those they lead. The book is clear and easy to read, and it communicates the author's own passion and conviction. It is much enriched by anecdotes drawn from Ndjérareou's personal experiences of tribal tensions and conflict in Chad, and of the way in which Christians and churches have responded. Ndjérareou might perhaps have given more detailed attention to the nature of ethnic or tribal identity, which tends simply to be accepted as a given. There is also very little discussion of the positive value of ethnic difference in the purpose of a God who has so obviously made a world of rich and teeming variety and diversity. The problem with ethnicity, or tribe, is not so much ethnic difference as such, which has immense potential for the mutual enrichment of human beings, but that of the too frequently hostile human response to those who are 'other'. Nevertheless, the book is a significant contribution to evangelical African reflection on a critical issue, where professing Christian believers, including evangelicals, have so often lost their way with disastrous consequences.

Home/News/Breaking News/As Investigation Continues for Old Boosters' Missing $$, New WHS Football Boosters Make Transparency, Player Safety & "Doing Things Different" as Priorities
Heather Borden Herve, GMW Editor
Breaking News,
Kids & Families,
Sports,
Wilton Schools
Artie DiRocco has a tough job ahead of him. As president of the new Wilton Warrior Gridiron Club, the new booster club for Wilton High School's football program, he has to put some distance between his new organization and the old booster club.
Wilton Police are currently conducting an investigation into money that disappeared from the previous organization, and no one will say on the record how much is missing or who is responsible–and all anyone will say off the record is that it's a 'significant' amount, and people are very unhappy.
DiRocco is eager for Wilton's football families, fans and friends to know this new organization is very different than the last. Building new trust is especially important as the team's season is less than two months away from starting and he needs to get fundraising going–and fast.
"We have to get it right and we have the opportunity to start over and get it right this time, and that's really what the main goal is," he says, acknowledging that some people are afraid to trust his boosters. "We're seeing that already, and that's a big issue for us to battle and we think that the best we can do for now is transparency, complete transparency."
Fundraising is important, because ultimately the money raised by the boosters supports player safety, first and foremost, says DiRocco. For instance, a new helmet costs $500. In a year where new helmets are needed, for a roster of potentially 90 kids, that's a hefty bill to foot for the school, so the boosters make sure that all players will get the new helmets, not just some.
"Football is not a cheap sport. Particularly, in this day of concussion awareness where the latest state-of-the-art helmets are mandatory if you want your kid to be safe, which is what we all want," DiRocco explains. "The school is covering a lot of it, but we're here to help do that because if they say, 'We're going to buy 40 helmets, and they're going to the kids that play the most,' well, that doesn't really feel good as a parent. I wouldn't want to look at the sideline and see my kid with a different helmet than somebody else, and then see him go in the game and have my heart in my throat."
It's also about being competitive, in the FCIAC, which is possibly the most competitive conference in the state. DiRocco says booster support can make a huge difference.
"Darien and Staples and New Canaan–look at their training program, their off season programs and the attention and strength training compared to what Wilton's done in the past; it's easy to see their growth compared to the stalling of the Wilton program. If you look at success in football, it is cut across economics–wealthier towns have better football programs. Last year, the top programs were Greenwich, Darien, and New Canaan. Saint Joe's, which is a private school and gets private donations and has an endowment, they're successful too. There is a direct correlation in the success of a program to how it is funded."
That's where boosters come in, to help provide that funding.
"The amount of training that Wilton does compared to other towns is really not that high, and our off season programs and conditioning and things are not what they are in other towns, and we'd like to start to compete with those towns. And in order to do that, there are clinics, and camps, and strength and conditioning programs, and strength evaluations, and things along that line."
Other things DiRocco says his new boosters organization wants to cover include player access to online game films–something players had to pay for out of pocket before–and a new, video and digital playbook, which he says is a great tool to help players better learn the plays.
"Kids learn differently and play differently, and that could potentially make a kid who wouldn't step on the field a football player. Kids being stronger and faster and better and quicker, with better equipment helps them stay safer. So it's not just about being in the best helmet ever. It's about being in the proper condition, being trained properly and actually knowing the program, knowing the play and knowing where to be. And that's how you stay protected on a football field."
Transparency, Trust and Tradition
So how do you ask for money when people might have lost money with your predecessor? DiRocco admits that it's a challenge, but he's trying to do it through showing the new organization is completely open, trustworthy and transparent: "Transparent about where we raise our money, how we raise our money, and what we're spending our money on."
The new organization has a new, much more user-friendly website, where DiRocco says all financials, board bios and mission statement will be posted. And the new organization has a more formal board structure with much stricter checks and balances–like keeping different people on different accounts, for example, rather than have one person control everything.
"Every month we're going to have our treasurer prepare monthly financials, and our vice president is going to get those financials and bank statements and he's going to make sure they tie every month. And on a monthly basis, those are going to be presented to the booster board for acceptance," DiRocco vows.
The new boosters club has also joined a national organization called Parent Boosters, with over 4,200 booster organization members across the country, something the old booster organization was not a part of.
"There's some best practices that you can learn from 4,200 other booster organizations, things in your bylaws you can learn from 4,200 other booster organizations. They are a great resource and they helped expedite getting everything done," he says.
What's more, DiRocco not only was not a member of the prior booster organization, he also brings with him a track record of trusted board experience managing a non-profit. He stepped down after many years as president of Trackside Teen Center to lead the Warrior Gridiron Club.
"I've done this before, yes. I think that's why originally they reached out to me. And there are some nuances to running nonprofits, particularly in the state of Connecticut," he explains.
Running a non-profit involves fundraising, and DiRocco says the new club has gotten creative with how it's hoping to raise money. Organizers have created new donation levels, ranging from $25-$1,500, with benefits like more access, season tickets and premium parking for higher level donors.
"Being in the locker room before games for pregame speeches, access to the press box. We're working on buying a couple more headsets, so you can listen to the coaches during the game. We're offering parking spaces up by the concession stand, so you don't have to walk up the hill in the dark. It's being more generous, or as generous as we can, with tickets to the games. Instead of giving away one or two, we have whole families," DiRocco says.
While a booster club usually looks to parents as the primary source of funding, the new football boosters are hoping to encourage alumni to be more involved as well.
"The alumni have been long overlooked as part of the football program in Wilton. They sit in the stands feeling like they're not part of a program they built. This is the 30th anniversary of the last FCIAC championship for Wilton. We've been in touch with some of the key players of that grade, and we're going to do some things that I don't want to disclose yet to honor them this year. And football is more of a family than a sport. And part of that family is the history, and we really want to bring back some of the rich history of Wilton football," DiRocco says, adding, "Listen, if we get money out of the alumni that's gravy to us, that's wonderful. We want them to help the program and be part of it. We're going for the history–if we get more out of it, that's wonderful."
Golf Outing Fundraiser Aug. 22
The Gridiron Club has a major fundraising event, a golf outing planned for Aug. 22 at Sterling Farms–which could get complicated. The old booster organization had to cancel its own golf outing that had been planned for earlier this month when its money disappeared–money that people had given to register for that event.
DiRocco knows that many people feel burned, and even though he reminds everyone that the new club is a separate and different organization, he's still going to make sure that anyone who had paid to take part in the old club's outing won't have to pay to play in the new club's event. It will be hard, because he has no access to records or financials from the old organization. [Editor's note: Police have offered no comment on whether financial records have been turned over or what they have learned, citing an "ongoing investigation."]
"We believe there are individuals who have registered for golf, and even booster membership with the previous booster board. We don't know who those people are. We would actually need those people to contact us. They can do it through the website. They can contact me directly. We will honor. People are not going to lose money. We're not going to ask people to pay for their booster fees twice. We're not going to ask people to pay for golf outing twice. It's just not going happen. We're going to honor it. But, in honoring that, we hope people understand that we're incurring debt. We're starting at zero," he says.
But he adds, it's the principle.
"We're hoping for a big turnout. It is our single biggest fundraiser of the year, and we understand there's some people registered for another golf outing. We're going to, again they'll be honored. The golf outing is important on a lot of levels, not just as a fundraiser. It's really a time when the parents get together."
All in all, DiRocco hopes that people see the new club in a new light, and consider the Gridiron Club a fresh start.
"We think that the Boosters are pretty well situated to start over again, and start to focus our attention to the right places, and that's really what our main goal is. It's around safety, it's around experience around the experience around football."

Our metal stamping equipment currently includes more than 20 modern punch presses, toolmaking equipment, shears, tumbling equipment, deburring, welding equipment, and miscellaneous such as tapping machines, radial and conventional drills.
In the 1890's there was a gradual shift into metal stamping. This was the result of a growing need in the furniture, bicycle and automotive industry for metal stampings.
Our tool and die makers have the knowledge and experience to produce dies on time and to the required specifications. With the help of Cad/Cam and Wire EDM the transition from blueprint to production tooling is quick. Our toolmakers will repair and maintain the dies to keep them up and running.
With our state of the art stamping equipment, we're capable of delivering ¼" diameter stainless steel discs to 28" diameter stainless steel discs and every size in between.
Stainless steel washers serve a variety of critical functions. When it comes to distributing load or functioning as spacers, stainless steel washers are the ideal solution that will withstand the elements better than many other materials.


Your cartoon is disgusting by implying Mr. Trump is equivalent to Hitler, Stalin and Bin Laden. The Right thinks the Left is wrong. The Left thinks the Right is evil.
Your obvious hatred of Mr. Trump proves the point. A full retraction or acknowledgement of your bad taste is in order.

Edtechs in Pakistan: The Current Scenario
Jehan | May 09 2022
Budding post-COVID competition for Edtechs in Pakistan is providing more clarity to the startups regarding the domains they function in
There is also a relatively untapped gap in unconventional education and a need to target the facilitation tools market
The interest in Pakistan by MENA Edtechs is paving the way for further growth in the industry
The Edtech space has ballooned in potential over the last decade. Maqsad's recent $2.1 million pre-seed funding also signals intent from local investors and those in the MENA region to bank on Edtechs in Pakistan, acting as a catalyst for this growth.
The global pandemic had a massive role to play in this rise in interest too. With students kept away from physical classes, there was a rush to find continuity solutions that could be used as a substitute for an in-class education, and that is where platforms like Sabaq, Edkasa, Maqsad, and Nearpeer found their seats at the table.
COVID Rattled the Education Sector
According to the World Bank, approximately one million Pakistani students may not return to school at all. And these students cannot be blamed – to mitigate the financial toll of COVID, families will expect all members to pull their weight and contribute.
However, the government did try to close this gap:
One of the primary reactions to school closures was the Pakistan government's Teleschool initiative – televising educational content for K-12 students during regular school hours.
It helped shed more attention on Edtech startups in the region since the entire project depended heavily on the involvement of Taleemabad, Sabaq.pk, Knowledge Platform, and Sabaq Muse.
And this was reflected in the numbers: from the 13 Edtech startups that partook in a 2020 i2i study, roughly half expressed that they were expecting to raise funding despite the pandemic!
However, despite these efforts, in 2022, we can confirm that 8% of adolescent girls and 21% of adolescent boys have not returned to school since the pandemic.
Hence, the Edtech space in Pakistan has room for more players and has proven that it can provide solutions to the long-standing education problem in the country.
Diversified Opportunities in the Space
Becoming an Edtech startup doesn't specifically mean providing online classes and access to tutors. The key is not to replace schools but to facilitate them.
Therefore, we have seen local startups branch out within the same vertical and offer diverse solutions. For example, Taleemabad creates resources and tools that can help teachers, principals, students, parents, and owners. These include their LMS system and their Teacher App.
Wondertree is another significant outlier in this regard, the organization was founded in 2015. They create games to help educate special needs students, offering a therapeutic and rehabilitation-based curriculum.
And according to CEO, Muhammad Waqas, it is crucial for them to maintain their niche. He says: "It was very important for us. In fact, targeting this sector was our ethos and the reason why WonderTree came into being."
With that said, alongside platforms focused on specialized education, there is clearly a lot of room in the industry for new players offering various continuity, administrative, and facilitative tools.
More Clarity in the Domains
When there are several players jostling for position in the same space, they tend to settle into their own distinct grooves.
Hence, with major funding going to those targeting K-12 programs, platforms teaching life skills and other unconventional topics seem to be overshadowed.
But startups like Nearpeer are treading that line with confidence. Not only do they offer help to students in the most prominent secondary to higher programs in Pakistan (Intermediate, O/A Levels), but they're also diving into skill-based programs and entry-test preparations.
Additionally, with the lines between domains clearly drawn, entrants like EDMY too have some clarity about where they would expand in the future:
"We're currently in the entrance test examinations space … moving on, we will expand into professional development courses, such as IT, networking, blockchain, crypto, management-related courses, project management, and interpersonal skills development." – Co-Founder, Osama Siddique
With these efforts, alongside the work being done by platforms like Edkasa, the future of Edtech seems to be covering all bases!
New Challengers in the Space
Egyptian startup, Orcas, recently raised $2.1 million in pre-series A funding led by Access Bridge Ventures and CIRA's NFX Ventures.
It is a self-paced K-12-based teaching platform that focuses on providing online/in-person one-on-one tutoring sessions. Moreover, they will be using their newfound growth to enter the Pakistani market.
Furthermore, last year, Jordanian Startup, Abwaab, took over Edmatrix, a Pakistani Edtech startup. Abwaab too is focused on providing a self-paced learning platform using video lessons and tutor engagement.
This interest in Pakistan has also been well received by local startups. Maqsad's Rooshan Aziz says:
"The education problem in Pakistan is huge and it's good to see multiple players working to address this. Given (that) it's early days for the Edtech ecosystem, we believe this will create awareness."
So it goes without saying, Edtechs in Pakistan are relishing the prospect of global competition.
The Future is… Bittersweet!
Since there is a massive audience to cater to, the current tactic seems to be working: an amalgamation of diversified educational startups offering classes, tools, resources, and platforms to facilitate every aspect of teaching.
The inspiration to scale is also right next door – Indian Edtech startup Byjus did what many Pakistani startups fail to do: recognize that the market is vast.
However, there are barriers for Pakistani startups to emulate Byju's success, and this can be primarily attributed to Pakistan's unreliable financial and payment setup, forcing subscription-based services to resort to using JazzCash and EasyPaisa.
There is a massive need for Fintech companies to allow for sporadic payment methods. Additionally, banks must look into offering customizable consumer financing options to help facilitate Edtech startups, who are limited to freemium packages to entice potential users.
And if that wasn't enough, there is a traditional mindset in Pakistan that compels families to instill their trust in a teacher they can meet, a tuition center they can visit, and a fee they can pay physically.
Therefore, there is still some work to do before Pakistani Edtechs can truly flourish!

CREATING GLOBAL CHANGE: PROGRAM
Interdisciplinary Conference in Women's and Gender Studies
Thursday, March 28 – Saturday, March 30, 2019
On behalf of Middle Tennessee State University's Women's and Gender Studies program, we welcome you to the 13th biennial interdisciplinary conference, Creating Global Change. Thank you for attending and actively engaging issues of interest in the field.
The conference thematic, Gendered Migrations, Bodies and Borders is particularly relevant to current events allowing for cross-disciplinary collaboration on the complex global environments shaping migration through gender. Program panels, films, and performances address border crossings and contested bodies, identities, and spaces. These scholarly and creative works explore sociocultural and geographic borderlands that influence communities of cultural resistance, indigenous feminisms, and social change. Our keynote speaker is creative writer and journalist Daisy Hernández, author of A Cup of Water Under My Bed: A Memoir, and co-author (with Bushra Rehman) of Colonize This! Young Women of Color on Today's Feminism. The keynote event will begin at 4:00 p.m. in the Student Union Ballroom (STU) with an introductory ensemble performance in song by Nashville in Harmony, a city chorus for people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, gender expressions, and their allies. The keynote lecture will begin at 4:30 p.m. followed by a book signing reception with Hernández.
A featured panel presentation Gendered Bodies and Indigenous Resistance in the Borderlands is scheduled for Friday at 11:30 a.m. in the STU Ballroom. The discussion will explore how indigenous cultures of resistance shape identity, border crossings, and claims on bodies and spaces. Expert panelists include Jacki Thompson Rand (University of Iowa) with a focus on Native American women in the Southeast, Lisa Kahaleole Hall (University of Victoria, Canada) on Native Hawaiian women, Robert Gutierrez-Perez (University of Nevada-Reno) on LGBTQ Chicanos/Xicanos in the Southwest border region, and Paul Chilsen (Middle Tennessee State University) on women tribal leaders in the Brazilian Amazon.
Please also join us in the STU Ballroom on Friday at 3:00 p.m. for a featured film by Ellie Lobovits, Birth on the Border, followed by a guided discussion with Adelle Monteblanco (Middle Tennessee State University) about women giving birth and Mexican-American midwives. Against a backdrop of oppressive U.S. border policy, the film explores legal border crossings from Mexico into El Paso, Texas, for the purpose of childbirth. These women's stories of risk, strength, and resiliency reveal the complexities of life on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Once again, the conference will open with a preconference day Student Showcase on Wednesday, March 27th, in the STU Ballroom with student papers, posters, and performances. Finally, look for an interesting array of conference paper panels from international and regional scholars scheduled throughout the conference on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in the Parliamentary Room.
We sincerely thank so many who assisted in organizing and funding this conference. We acknowledge and thank our Conference Organizing Committee co-chaired by Roberta Chevrette, Communication Studies, and Ashleigh McKinzie, Sociology, for their dedication to putting together the program.

Thematic Panel, Friday, March 29th, 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., Student Union Ballroom
Gendered Bodies and Indigenous Resistance in the Borderlands
The panel critically examines borders and borderlands as they relate to emergent feminisms within indigenous culture. Panelists explore the complex histories of identity, colonization, and race-based violence that make claims on gendered bodies, identities, and places. Insights into specific historical cases of indigenous acts of resistance to the logic of possession and control are provided including everyday life performances, artistic expression, and legal and collective action.
Jacki Thompson Rand, History, University of Iowa
Professor Jacki Rand, a citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, has research interests centering on federal Indian law and policy, settler colonialism, and global indigenous histories.

Film Screening and Discussion, Friday, March 29th, 3:00 – 5:00 p.m., Student Union Ballroom
– BIRTH ON THE BORDER – by Ellie Lobovits
Birth on the Border is a documentary short that explores legal border crossing from Mexico into the U.S. for the purpose of childbirth. The film delves into the narratives of two women from Ciudad Juárez who cross the border legally to give birth in El Paso, Texas, as well as the stories of two Mexican-American midwives. Against the backdrop of oppressive U.S. border policy, these women's stories of risk, strength, and resiliency reveal the complexities of life on the U.S.-Mexico border. Trailer.
Ellie Lobovits is a filmmaker, curator, and cultural observer. Ellie's research, writing, and filmmaking focus on borderlands, the body, and feminist stories. Her most recent documentary film, Birth on the Border, explores childbirth and legal border-crossing on the US-Mexico border. Ellie is also a photographer, childbirth doula, and lover of flowers. She holds an MA in Visual Anthropology from San Francisco State University.

– Birth in Pieces –
El Jardín Birth and Family Resource Center and MindWarp Films present Birth in Pieces, a locally filmed and produced documentary that focuses on women's birth experiences in the current context of a high national and state maternal mortality rate. What's wrong with birth in the USA? Birth in Pieces explores mothers' individual birth stories within a larger framework of a fragmented maternal healthcare system that doesn't always place value on a mother's autonomy or well being. In order to fix these systematic problems, we have to start by listening to women: it is possible to have an empowering birth and healthy start to motherhood, and all mothers and babies deserve that opportunity. Trailer.

I was always sporty at school, often playing school matches every weekend, but I was also one of the bigger girls. Finally, I now look at myself in the mirror and I can honestly say I'm totally happy with how I look.
I have always been one to value my health and fitness, and for as long as I can remember my life has revolved around sport. I have run a half marathon, cycled London to Paris and taken part in many dance competitions, all of which I have loved.
We have two facilities conveniently located on the North & South of Hereford. Both facilities boast a great range of our services and have changing facilities and showers as well as free parking.
In 2014 at the age of 62 I was unfortunately involved in a serious car accident which resulted in spinal, hip, sternum and foot injuries. I spent several weeks immobilised at the Queen Elizabeth Military Trauma in Birmingham. The paramedics and hospital medical staff did a great job and prevented my condition from becoming much more serious.
At home I spent many months wearing a body brace and my mobility was further impaired by a pronounced limp caused by a severe trauma injury to the right hip. I found it really hard to make the adjustment from an active exercise orientated lifestyle to a sedentary existence. It became clear I needed specialist help.

There was briefly another participant swooping into Wednesday night's vice presidential debate.
For several minutes, a fly landed in Vice President Mike Pence's hair, not moving as he answered questions about racial injustice and whether justice has been done in the death of Breonna Taylor.
Conversation about the fly briefly dominated corners of Twitter, where debate watchers discussed their distraction and inability to focus on Pence and California Sen. Kamala Harris' answers. Some joked about the need to test the fly for the coronavirus, as it had skirted the plexiglass partitions separating the candidates and moderator.
Wednesday night's intruder wasn't the first to take center stage at an election year debate. In 2016, a fly briefly landed between Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's eyes during a town hall-style debate with now-President Donald Trump.
The Biden campaign used the fly incident as a fundraising opportunity:

I was wondering if the royals attending the Winter Olympics will visit with each other?
Perhaps we can have a thread for news and pictures of the various royals at this winter olympics. Especially if there are photos of royals in groups.
Posts 39-42 of this link to the Italian Royalty sub-forum have pics of Prince Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy carrying the Olympic Torch in Turin, watched by his parents, the Prince and Princess of Naples.
Princess Anne of Britain, Prince Albert of Monaco, & Crown Prince Willem-Alexander of Netherlands are all also present at Turin. They also attended the IOC meeting.
are we suppose to post pics of royals at the winter olympic in this thread, or in each royal's thread?
I've just seen Constantine and Anne-Marie at the Opening Ceremony - I'll keep you posted as we go!
And there's Prince Albert in a red hat and a pretty blonde on his arm.
King Harald's just been shown but not with Queen Sonja.
Sonja isn't going to be there.
Princess Benedikte of Denmark is reported to be at the opening ceremony, by the Danish commentators. And Crown Prince Frederik is supposed to arrive later to follow the Danish Curling team. I think that's good.
I've noticed that the difference between watching the Danish and the Norwegian television - is the commentators. The Norwegian commentators knew almost every flag-bearer by name, and had sports relevant trivia about every single team marching in. The Danish team commented a little bit about the teams marching in, almost nothing about the sports part of it, but plenty about the stuff around - like Berlusconi's absense, the security around the Danes after recent events, and other strange stuff.
"Those who do not like you fall into two categories, the stupid and the envious"
It's pityful, indeed. It should be an honour to attend.
Has anyone figured out who the blond is?
Her name seems to be Charlene Wittstock, a swimmer for South Africa.
(info from the topic HSH, Prince Albert - Current Events, Part XVII ).
Lot of athlets are beginning competitions tomorrow. They must prepare, instead coming to the ceremony.
It was a wonderful opening ceremony, and the lighting of the Olympic flame was spectacular!
The King and Queen of Sweden will attend the Olympics in Turin from 17 February.
Is the pretty blond sitting next to albert a fling or an olympic committe member or something. I also liked the ceremony and the lighting part was really nice as well as the tenor that came after. I love the Olympics, I always get exited when they come aroud. I also noticed the security around the Danish team. Shame really, this should be a nonpolitical and peacefull time.
I saw the Prince and Princess of Piedmont, Marina in brown furs I believe. Willem-Alexander and Maxima were also there, apparenly Maxima danced on the YMCA (I missed that part).

Clippers coach Tyronn Lue thinks Norman Powell…
Clippers coach Tyronn Lue thinks Norman Powell can win Sixth Man of the Year
Powell has appreciated the team's faith in him and the clear expectation that he'll reach high standards

By Janis Carr | Orange County Register
Clippers coach Tyronn Lue keeps bringing up the subject and Norman Powell continues not to listen when the conversation turns to the Sixth Man of the Year award.
Powell insists he is not after individual accolades and the only hardware he wants to get his hands on is the Larry O'Brien Trophy for winning the NBA championship.
"If I'm in the running and I get it, great, but I think the main focus is always trying to help the team win and be the last team standing at the end of the year," Powell said. "That's my main focus and whatever accolade you get on the way there, it's a bonus."
The numbers, however, back up Lue's argument.
Powell is averaging 13.7 points off the bench this season and 16.2 points in the past 10 games. In seven of his past eight games, he has reached double figures, punctuated by his 30 points in Monday's 121-114 victory over the Utah Jazz.
The guard also is contributing 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. Former Clippers guard Jamaal Crawford was named Sixth Man of the Year in 2017 with similar numbers.
"Like I said, Sixth Man of the Year, that should be his goal, and he has a great opportunity to do that, having 30 points on 15 shots off the bench," Lue said. "Very efficient. And we need him to play well, especially with guys being out and he's stepping up, playing well for us."
Powell didn't look much like a star when the season began. He struggled to find his spot in a crowded rotation. He found enough touches to score in double figures in just two of his first eight games. Lue took notice.
This time, Powell listened to his coach, who told him that he had all the tools to turn it around and it wasn't going to take an overhaul of his entire game. Powell just needed a shot of confidence.
"We knew what he can do," said Lue, whose team continues its busy November schedule with a game at Golden State on Wednesday night. "Well, I knew what he can do offensively, scoring a basketball and like we said before, he works too hard. He puts too much work in for his offense not to come around.
"He's been playing great as of late. This is how we need him to play off the bench."
Powell, a 2015 second-round pick out of UCLA, said earlier this season that he was "nowhere where I needed to be. Didn't expect it, but one thing about me, I always figured it out."
Buoyed by the confidence of his coach and the advice of the rest of the staff, Powell got to work and started to believe his game would improve.
"The whole coaching staff and organization and my teammates are always telling me next shot. He (Lue) is always telling me to keep my head up and stop worrying about it.
"It just comes from the amount of pressure I put on myself and how good I want to be and the amount of time I work on my game and the expectations I've set for myself," Powell said.
"He's always telling me just next shot. He came in at halftime and told me next time I put my head down on a missed shot, he's taking me out of the game. So, he's pretty confident in my abilities and weathering the storm and waiting for that one game where everything starts dropping."

Clippers' Norman Powell delivers timely message
Like Monday night when he made 10 of 15 shots from the field, including going 3 for 4 from 3-point range to the delight of the Crypto.com Arena crowd, re-igniting Lue's push for him to start looking at the Sixth Man of the Year award and even All-Star status.
"I like the fact of not sugarcoating what the situation is and of him being direct and forward with me and the expectations so there's nothing I'm leaving to guess or have to figure out," Powell said. "He's been direct. I know that I'm a big part of this team and that they need me."
LEONARD, GEORGE OUT AGAINST WARRIORS
The Clippers will be without Kawhi Leonard (right ankle sprain), Paul George (right hamstring strain) and Luke Kennard (right calf strain) for Wednesday's game at Golden State.
Leonard landed awkwardly after trying to block a shot late in the fourth quarter of the Clippers' victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday.
"Just rolled my ankle," he said after the game. "But I should be fine."
Leonard has played just five of 18 games so far this season after missing the entire 2021-22 season following ACL surgery. The two-time NBA Finals MVP played in two of the first three games of the season before experiencing stiffness in his surgically repaired right knee on Oct. 25. He then missed 12 consecutive games before starting and playing 25 minutes Thursday against Detroit.
George will miss his second consecutive game.

WHEN the Soviet Union announced two years ago that it would revamp its schools, it was a victory for the economic planners who argued that the needs of the labor market should dictate educational practices. After an unusually lively public debate, it was decided that, among other things, more students would be channeled into vocational schools and children would start school at 6 instead of 7 years of age.
Today, however, that Russian educational program is in the doldrums, with the economists' logic bumping up against the resistance of students and parents, inadequate facilities and a teacher shortage. Disputes also continue over the schools' proper role. The press, for instance, recently presented arguments on a proposal to shorten lessons in Dostoyevsky to make room for more ''practical'' subjects.
Some of the changes ordered two years ago are being delayed with official approval. While less than half of the country's two million 6-year-olds are expected to begin formal education next year, taking 11 years of instruction rather than 10, more than half will go to Soviet kindergarten, which is like a preschool. The reason, Soviet officials say, is concern about children's health. Some doctors have argued that 6-year-olds need the special care they get in kindergarten. ''The doctors say, 'Don't hurry,' '' cautioned Kira V. Agrafonova, deputy chief of the elementary and secondary division of the Ministry of Education.
But officials admit that the delay was necessary for other reasons. ''There won't be space in the schools'' to accommodate the extra children, Mrs. Agrafonova said. Even without the new class of 6-year-olds, some schools in Moscow neighborhoods where many young working families live have to run double or triple sessions. In addition, there is a shortage of teachers at the elementary level, a problem that some top officials have attributed to low pay and poor benefits.
The primary aim of the proposed changes was the redirection of many students whose goals - or whose parents' goals - included a place at a prestigious institute of higher education and a respected intellectual job with access to influential people. The Soviet Union is chronically short of skilled technical workers, but the vocational schools that train them are unpopular with parents, who associate the schools with low grades and discipline problems. One teacher said her school pressured teachers to push students toward vocational education by setting informal quotas.
In general, Mrs. Agrafonova said, after the eighth grade, 31 percent of the 14- or 15-year-olds go on to technical or vocational schools, and 9 percent become industrial or agricultural laborers. Sixty percent of the students continue through high school. Fewer than a quarter of all 17-year-olds attend universities and affiliated institutes. The plan adopted two years ago called for 60 percent of the students to be channeled into vocational schools after the eighth grade.
The state, meanwhile, has announced the creation of a new obstacle for students who have their sights set on the institutes. Before they can take entrance examinations, applicants have to appear before a commission for a ''vocational-guidance interview.'' Gennady A. Yagodin, Minister of Higher and Specialized Secondary Education, told the press that the commission ''will have the task of determining whether the applicant has made the proper choice.'' In letters to the editor, some parents complained that the process can be unfairly subjective. But others asked for tips on how to help their children do well in the interview.


Ladders of various types are in only about every home and work place. There are extension ladders, step ladders, rolling ladders, fixed steel ladders, do the job platforms and different types of specialty ladders to fit particular needs. Extension ladders are commonly know among everyone. A lot of the extension ladders are made of alloy or fiberglass. Aluminum ladders offer lighter weights which can make them easier to use for the average person. Most extension ladders come in heights ranging from 16 - 60 feet, and weight capacities of 250 - 375 pounds. The fat capacity rating can be a little miss leading considering a lot of the best quality ladders like Werner ladders are test to four times the said capacity. Fiberglass extension ladders are the option you want to choose if you are going to be doing electro-mechanical work or working around electrical sources. The fiberglass doors frame will not conduct electrical energy keeping the user safer from electrical injuries. Another characteristic that is a plus in ext ladders are D rungs. This means the top side of this rungs are flat. This provides the user more secure footing even though climbing up and down the step ladder.

Even though in most houses freezing bacon isn't an option just because it's eaten within a few days after buying, sometimes you might actually want to freeze bacon. If that's the case, read the rest of the article to learn the most important things about freezing bacon.
First thing you need to know is that you can freeze both raw and cooked bacon. As a matter of fact, cooked bacon freezes better than raw, so if you plan to freeze this meat for a longer period of time, it's better to cook it before freezing to get the best possible results. If you're cooking bacon you know that will be frozen, cook it to a level slightly below you usually cook it. One thing you need to remember – sometimes bacon seems to be somewhat salty after freezing and thawing – that's because freezing draws out some of the water from it.
If the package isn't opened yet, you can transfer it directly into the freezer. If you know bacon will stay there for longer than a month or two, wrapping the original packaging is what you want to do. You might wrap it with freezer wrap or put it into a freezer bag or airtight container. Just make sure it's wrapped well to avoid freezer burn.
If the package is already opened, you have quite a few options. The easiest one is quite similar to the previous method – transfer bacon into a freezer bag or airtight container (make sure there's as little space in the container as possible, to avoid freezer burn), seal it tightly and transfer into the freezer. If it will be stored there for more than 1-2 months, cover bacon twice.
You can also decide to cut bacon into thick slices, so you'll be able to easily thaw just a small slice instead of thawing the whole bacon. Make sure you first wrap each slice individually using freezer or plastic wrap and then transfer all slices into a freezer bag (remember to squeeze out all the air). Thick slices work well, as they freeze quite well, thaw quickly and you don't have to individually wrap a gazillion of slices.
When freezing raw bacon, it's recommended to not keep it in the freezer for longer than one or two months. Of course it won't go bad, but it's quality will slowly drop and you might not be satisfied with the outcome after a longer period of time. If you want to freeze bacon for longer, consider cooking it first.
As mentioned earlier, cook the bacon to a level a little below you usually cook it. After that drain it and wait until it cools down. Now it's time to package it. Your options are the as in the case of freezing raw bacon – you can decide to freeze it whole in a freezer bag/container or cut it into slices, wrap each slice and then put into a freezer bag. It's up to you – choose the method thaw will work finest for your needs. It's recommended to not freeze cooked bacon for longer than 3 months, but there are also people who have frozen it for longer than half a year and still were satisfied with the outcome.
Frozen bacon can be put directly onto the pan to cook it, or if you'd like to accelerate the process a bit, you can put it for a few minutes into the microwave to thaw it a little beforehand.
As you can see, freezing bacon isn't that difficult. Remember – if you want to freeze bacon for a longer period of time, make sure you cook it before freezing – cooked bacon freezes better than raw.

A propanol vagy pontosabban propán-1-ol, 1-propanol egy szerves vegyület, primer alkohol. Konstitúciós izomerje az izopropanol vagy más néven 2-propanol.

Kémiai tulajdonságai
Színtelen folyadék, a szaga a hétköznapi alkoholra (etanol) emlékeztető. Vízzel, etanollal és dietil-éterrel korlátlanul elegyedik. Főként oldószerként használják. A propanol gyúlékony vegyület, meggyújtva elég. A lángja alig világít. Az égésének termékei a szén-dioxid és a víz. Oxidációval propionaldehiddé és propionsavvá alakítható. A propionsav a krómsavas oxidációjával nyerhető.

Előállítása
A propanolt etilén, szén-monoxid és hidrogén reakciójával állítják elő. Ez a folyamat úgynevezett hidroformilezés. Ennek során először propionaldehid keletkezik, majd ez redukálódik tovább propil-alkohollá.

A szeszes erjedéskor keletkező úgynevezett kozmás olajok is tartalmaznak propanolt, ezekből is kinyerhető.

Felhasználása
A propanolt főként oldószerként használják. Felhasználható lakkok, festékek, cellulózszármazékok oldására. Emellett fertőtlenítésre is használható. Kiindulási anyag egyes szintéziseknél.

Vladimir Putin has never been a fan of a free press or open public debates, but the Ukraine crisis has provided the Kremlin with a new favorite target for cracking down even more harshly on political expression: cyberspace. Last week, Galina Timchenko was ousted as editor of the Russian news site Lenta.ru, after publishing an interview with a right wing Ukrainian nationalist. She was replaced with an editor much more friendly toward Putin and his allies. The websites of opposition leaders Garry Kasparov and Alexei Navalny have also been targeted, along with other sites critical of the Russian president.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the embattled Turkish prime minister, recently pushed new censorship legislation through parliament, making it easier for the government to block web content – and now Twitter is restricted across the country.
Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro has blocked websites covering topics that might be a bit uncomfortable for his government, such as skyrocketing inflation and anti-government protests.


Verifying benefits gives you and your clients a realistic expectation of coverage, which helps to determine the best options for payment.
The date and process by which a newborn can be added to the policy.
After your client completes the client information form and submits payment, we'll verify their benefits and send a report that clearly explains their coverage.
If your client is covered by two or more insurance plans, they'll specify in the client information form which plan is primary and which plan is secondary/tertiary/etc. Coordination of benefits between multiple insurance companies often lengthens the claim processing time.
A gap exception allows a client with exclusive provider organization (EPO), health maintenance organization (HMO), or preferred provider organization (PPO) insurance to receive services from an out-of-network provider at an in-network rate. We charge a flat fee for the preparation and submission of a gap exception request or any necessary appeals.
Whether you're submitting a claim for birth center facility charges or for prenatal, birth, postpartum, or global perinatal care, we charge the same fee ($90) to prepare a claim, scrub it for errors, and submit it for payment. Please keep in mind that a home birth can create two claims (one for the birthing person's care and one for the baby's care), and a birth center birth can create up to four claims (one for the birthing person's care, one for the baby's care, one for the birthing person's facility fee, and one for the baby's facility fee).
We charge a flat $40 claim preparation and submission fee for well-person or lactation care.
We submit provider and subscriber claims to insurance companies, healthcare sharing ministries, Medicaid, and TRICARE.
Claims are submitted within three business days of the date we receive the applicable claim preparation and submission fee and the information necessary to create a claim. Midwives and birth centers share this information by giving us access to their electronic health record system, or by completing a superbill we customize for their practice. When you fill out the provider and practice information form, you can tell us which option works best for you.
We also prepare detailed invoices for clients' flexible spending accounts (FSAs), health savings accounts (HSAs), and health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs). As with insurance claims, invoices are prepared within three business days of the date we receive the $90 preparation fee and necessary information, which is shared via electronic health record system access or completion of a customized superbill.
If you've been working with another billing service or doing your own billing, some of your claims may have been rejected or incorrectly processed. We're happy to investigate claim statuses and the process for submitting reconsideration requests or corrected claims.
We can work with your cash-pay clients to arrange payment plans, send invoices, process payments, and make payment reminder calls when necessary. Our in-house collections work balances compassion and persistence without harassment. When payments are made, we can deposit these funds directly into your bank account.
Approximately half of the midwifery billing services we surveyed charge $200 to $500 to "set up" your practice with their clearinghouse. Our fees accurately reflect our cost of doing business, so there's no need to tack on additional fees.
Some billers charge a monthly minimum fee to cover the times their clients' practices experience a lull. If your practice isn't making money, we aren't either. We only charge for the services we provide, never more.
