Packers QB Brett Favre Named NFC Offensive Player Of The Week
Brett Favre was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for games played the third week of the 2006 season (September 24-25), the NFL announced Wednesday. - More Favre nominated for Air Player of the Week | Vote Now! Jennings nominated for Rookie of the Week | Vote Now!
Quarterback BRETT FAVRE of the Green Bay Packers, linebacker SCOTT FUJITA of the New Orleans Saints and kicker JOHN KASAY of the Carolina Panthers are the NFC Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week for games played the third week of the 2006 season (September 24-25), the NFL announced Wednesday.
OFFENSE: QB BRETT FAVRE, GREEN BAY PACKERS
-It was a milestone afternoon for Favre, who led the Green Bay Packers to a 31-24 road win over the NFC North-rival Detroit Lions at Ford Field. With no score in the first quarter, Favre connected on a 75-yard touchdown pass to rookie GREG JENNINGS, the 400th touchdown pass of his illustrious career, joining DAN MARINO (420) as the only players in NFL history to accomplish the feat. It was the 10th career touchdown pass of at least 75 yards for Favre, tying five other players for the most all-time. On the day, he completed 25 of 36 attempts for 340 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, posting a Week 3-high 127.1 passer rating. With the Packers clinging to a 24-21 fourth-quarter advantage, Favre connected with running back AHMAN GREEN on his third touchdown pass of the day, a 10-yarder for the club's final score. The win was the first for the club's first-year head coach MIKE MC CARTHY.
In his 16th season from Southern Mississippi, this is Favre's 10th career Player of the Week Award and first since Week 10 of 2004
DEFENSE: LB SCOTT FUJITA, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
-On what was certainly one of the most memorable nights in the history of the New Orleans Saints franchise, Fujita helped make sure it was a winning one as well, playing a major role in the 23-3 win over the Atlanta Falcons on the night the Superdome was reopened. Fujita posted eight tackles, 1.0 sack and one forced fumble in the win. His sack and forced fumble came on the opening series of the game, forcing a fourth-and-10 punt that was blocked by teammate STEVE GLEASON and recovered by the Saints for a touchdown and 7-0 advantage. Fujita, who joined the club as a free agent after spending 2005 in Dallas, was instrumental in holding the Atlanta ground game in check, as the Falcons - who entered Monday night averaging 279 rushing yards per game - were held to 117 rushing yards.
In his fifth season from California, this is Fujita's first career Player of the Week Award.
SPECIAL TEAMS: K JOHN KASAY, CAROLINA PANTHERS
-Kasay was a pivotal factor in the Panthers earning their first win of the season, a 26-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. The veteran kicker connected on four of four field goal attempts, becoming the first player in NFL history to hit four field goals from 46 yards and beyond in the same game. After a 51-yard kick in the first quarter, a 50-yarder in the second and a 49-yard effort in the third, Kasay connected on his most important kick of the day, a game-winning 46-yard field goal with two seconds remaining to lift the Panthers to victory.
In his 16th season from Georgia, this is Kasay's sixth career Player of the Week Award.

-Seattle quarterback MATT HASSELBECK, who completed 24 of 33 attempts for 227 yards and five touchdown passes, helping Seattle to a 35-3 halftime lead in a 42-30 triumph over the Giants.
-Philadelphia running back BRIAN WESTBROOK, who posted 164 yards of total offense in a 38-24 win at San Francisco with a career high-tying three touchdowns. He scored on rushes of 71 and eight yards and added a four-yard touchdown reception. He rushed for 117 yards and totaled four catches for 47 yards.
Other nominees for NFC Defensive Player of Week 3 were:
-Green Bay safety NICK COLLINS, who made seven tackles and broke up three passes, including the final play of the game in the Packers' end zone.
-Seattle safety KEN HAMLIN, who returned two interceptions for a total of 63 yards, with each pick leading to first-quarter touchdowns. He also added four tackles.
-Chicago defensive tackle TOMMIE HARRIS, who forced a fumble that led to the game-winning touchdown in 19-16 win at Minnesota. Harris also added two tackles and 1.0 sack on the day
-Minnesota cornerback ANTOINE WINFIELD, who returned an interception seven yards for a touchdown and added 10 tackles against Chicago.
Other nominees for NFC Special Teams Player of Week 3 were:
-Washington punter DERRICK FROST, who averaged 56 yards on two punts with a long punt of 60 yards.
-New Orleans special teamer STEVE GLEASON, who blocked a punt on the opening possession of the game which was recovered in the end zone for a touchdown, setting the tone for the Saints in their Monday night win versus Atlanta.
-Chicago kicker ROBBIE GOULD, who connected on four of four field goal attempts from 41, 24, 31 and 49 yards in the Bears win.


Learning for registered nurses (RNs) and advanced practice nurses (APRNs) doesn't stop after earning an accredited nursing degree.
To properly maintain licensing and certification, nurses must complete continuing education hours. Conferences are an excellent way to satisfy your professional development requirements while networking with other nurses and traveling around the country.
Whether you're focused on oncology, mental health, neonatal, critical care, administration, forensics, gerontology, or another specialty, there are plenty of conference events happening annually to suit your interests.
The following are five great conferences for nurses that you should consider attending in 2016.
In March, the American Nurses Association will offer its 2016 ANA Annual Conference at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista for a maximum of 14 CNE hours.

Press Release: Inauguration Of The First Nations Tax Commission
fntc2020-07-06T08:57:09-07:0018 June, 2007|
KAMLOOPS, BRITISH COLUMBIA (June 18, 2007) – The First Nations Tax Commission (FNTC) celebrated its inauguration today on the Kamloops Indian reserve. The 10-member FNTC is one of the four institutions created as a result of the passage of the First Nations Fiscal and Statistical Management Act (FSMA) which received Royal Assent in March 2005. It is the successor organization to the Indian Taxation Advisory Board.
The event began with the appointment of the tenth Commissioner, Ms. Terry Nicholas, by Sakej Henderson, Director of the Native Law Centre at the University of Saskatchewan. The appointment, a unique feature of shared governance institutions, was made pursuant to a regulation under the FSMA.
"This is a truly historic moment. With the final appointment in place, the Commission can now begin the work of fulfilling its mandate to help First Nations build stronger economies." said C.T. (Manny) Jules, FNTC Chief Commissioner.
The traditional ceremony that followed featured an honour song, prayer and smudge ceremony. Each Commissioner was then called forward to take the oath of office."Kamloops is the cradle of First Nations property taxation" said Jules, as he traced the origins of the Commission. The Kamloops Indian Band led the successful 1988 amendment to the Indian Act (Bill C-115), which gave First Nation communities the right to levy property taxes on First Nations land. Kamloops is now the location of the head office of the FNTC.
Over the next two days, the new Commissioners will attend an extensive orientation session, to better prepare themselves for the FNTC's workload.
The Indian Taxation Advisory Board will continue its services until the Commission becomes fully operational on July 1st, 2007.

We just had our first need to add an additional recipient policy to assign a secondary smtp address to a specific group of users. The policy was added successfully and if you preview the ldap filter, the results are correct. The problem is now one of Priority. Back in our 5.5 days we had a regional setup, which carried over at first to our 2000 Org. We then consolidated all servers into a single admin and routing group and no longer had a need for the "regional" recipient policies. Unfortunately, we find that we can't delete them mow or change their priority. Attempting to delete returns the message: "This Recipient Policy cannot be deleted". I assumed it was because it had a Priority of "Highest", but when I attempted to change the priority I got the message: There is no such object on the server. Facility LDPA Provider, ID no: 80072030, Exchange System Manager. Thought I might be able to find and delete the objects via adsiedit, but could not locate them under Exchange System Objects or anywhere else for that matter. So, does anyone have any suggestions or know of any tools or utilities that will let me get these recipient polcy objects removed?
can you remove an old recipient from 1st admin grp in 2007?

Winter Session takeaway: For every hour of work done, one House lost 5, other 4
Lok Sabha worked for just 19 hours while losing 92, Rajya Sabha for 22 hours while losing more than 86. In other words, for every hour of work done, Lok Sabha lost five hours while Rajya Sabha lost four.
Written by Pradeep Kaushal | New Delhi |
In Lok Sabha, the Speaker expressed the hope that "there will be no disruptions during future sessions and we will all work in a better manner, resulting in meaningful discussions and a positive exchange of views".
The disrupted winter session of Parliament came to a close Friday, the least productive session during the term of the 16th Lok Sabha so far. The presiding officers of both Houses registered their unhappiness over the frequent disruptions. Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said the loss of 91:59 hours tarnished the image of members. Rajya Sabha chairman Mohammad Hamid said all sections of the House need to introspect on the distinction between dissent, disruption and agitation.

Lok Sabha worked for just 19 hours while losing 92, Rajya Sabha for 22 hours while losing more than 86. In other words, for every hour of work done, Lok Sabha lost five hours while Rajya Sabha lost four. Figures released by the Lok Sabha secretariat showed this was the lowest during the term of the current Lok Sabha in terms of hours, while data from PRS Legislative Research showed that productivity hit a low in percentage terms, too, during the same period.
"Rajya Sabha worked only for 21 per cent of the time it was scheduled to. In the case of Lok Sabha, the working time was even lower, just 17 per cent," said Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar. So far in the 16th Lok Sabha, the average productivity of Lok Sabha has been 92% and that of Rajya Sabha 71%, according to PRS Legislative Research.

Soon after the two Houses adjourned sine die, the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs recommended their prorogation to the President. Home Minister Rajnath Singh chaired the meeting. The recommendation put an end to speculation that the government might not go in for a prorogation of at least one House so that Parliament could be reconvened for a brief special session to clear bills aimed at putting the GST regime in place. Sources indicated that the budget session may be convened early, either towards the end of January or the beginning of February.
Ananth Kumar was noncommittal when asked about the government plans on the GST-related bills. He said proposals were pending before the GST Council. "It will meet on December 22 and 23 and let it decide," he said. "Once it gives its mandate, it is our duty to give it legislative shape." Pressed further, he said, "We will cross the bridge when we reach it."
In Lok Sabha, the Speaker expressed the hope that "there will be no disruptions during future sessions and we will all work in a better manner, resulting in meaningful discussions and a positive exchange of views". "I am confident of receiving cooperation from leaders of all parties," she said.
In Rajya Sabha, the chairman said, "Regular and continuous disruptions characterised this session. The symbolism of dignified protests, so essential for orderly conduct of parliamentary proceedings, was abandoned… The prohibition in the rules about shouting slogans, displaying posters and obstructing proceedings by leaving their assigned places was consistently ignored by all sections of the House. Peace prevailed only when obituaries were read."
The two Houses hardly transacted any legislative business. The only exception was the passage of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill by both Houses. Rajya Sabha had cleared it two days ago and Lok Sabha hurriedly passed it on the final day after a short discussion.
Numerically, Lok Sabha could boast of having passed more bills, but these other bills were urgent financial matters, which included that Taxation Laws (Second Amendment) Bill, the Supplementary Demands for Grants (General), the Demands for Excess Grants (General) and Appropriation Bills.
Rajya Sabha went through an incomplete debate on demonetisation the first day of the session before a deadlock set in over the demand for the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the entire discussion. Lok Sabha could not discuss the issue because of disagreement between the two sides on the rule under which it could be taken up.
Veteran parliamentarian and BJP stalwart L K Advani hit the headlines after he expressed his despair over the manner in which Parliament was functioning. He remarked that he felt like resigning his seat.
Disabilities Bill: one issue that united MPs in both Houses
After Rajya Sabha earlier this week, members of Lok Sabha put aside their differences Friday and joined hands to pass the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill 2016. The bill covers 21 kinds of disabilities and provides for protection of persons with such disabilities against discrimination.
An amendment moved by Kavitha Kalvakuntla of the TRS, seeking a raise in job reservation from four per cent to five, was put to vote following a demand by K C Venugopal of the Congress. It was defeated 121 to 43. Replying to a brief debate, Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment Thaawar Chand Gehlot announced a scheme for a universal identity card for disabled people; this would also be linked to the Aadhar card.

Fort Monmouth Parcel to Begin 'Request for Offers to Purchase' Process
The Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority (FMERA) will issue a Request for Offers to Purchase (RFOTP) for the approximately 82-acre Parcel B in the Eatontown section of the Fort. Proposals will be accepted until June 16, 2021. The RFOTP will be available at https://www.fortmonmouthnj.com/bidding-opportunities/open-rfprfotps/.
FMERA simultaneously announced that it will hold a virtual pre-proposal meeting on March 30, 2021 for individuals or entities interested in purchasing the property. Anyone interested in attending the meeting needs to register on FMERA's website.
Parcel B consists of approximately 82 acres of land and approximately one million square feet of buildings slated for demolition. The site, considered the gateway to the Fort, is located at the main entrance to the Fort, at the intersection of Route 35 and the Avenue of Memories in Eatontown. FMERA envisions redevelopment of the property as a neighborhood village, mixed-use development. Redevelopment of the property will be subject to the Fort Monmouth Reuse and Redevelopment Plan, which operates as the master plan for Fort Monmouth, and FMERA's land use regulations and design and development guidelines, which serve as the zoning ordinance for the Fort.
"The Reuse Plan always anticipated that this property would be the centerpiece of the Fort's redevelopment in Eatontown," said FMERA Executive Director Bruce Steadman. "All bidders will be required to meet the 302 residential units, 20 percent of which must be affordable. In consideration of the pandemic and recent market shifts, FMERA revised the original RFOTP to be more flexible on the mix of commercial uses permitted in the original offering."
According to Steadman, FMERA still strives to redevelop this parcel as a neighborhood village style center with public amenities that encourage walking, connectivity, and gathering spaces. FMERA originally solicited redevelopment of the property in 2013 and 2015 as a town center development. After the two leading scorers opted to terminate negotiations for the project, FMERA reevaluated the proposed development program and adjusted the thresholds for each individual asset class. The current RFOTP reflects these adjustments, providing for a more flexible approach to the mix of uses, while still adhering to the tenets of the Reuse Plan, including the residential component.
The project boasts great frontage and has easy accessibility to the Garden State Parkway and NJ Transit.
"This site is extremely well positioned to build on the momentum that has occurred to date on the Main Post," said FMERA Marketing & Development Manager Sarah Giberson.
Giberson noted that this momentum includes recently-completed residential projects by RPM Development (East Gate, Liberty Walk), the on-going development of a new New Jersey City University campus, and a range of projects in the development pipeline including The Loft, a renovation of the former Dance Hall; The Baseline, 26 acres under development by OPort Partners (Denholtz Properties); and The Alley at the Fort, the former Fort Monmouth Bowling Center.
According to Borough of Eatontown Mayor Anthony Talerico, Jr., "This is a rare and exciting development opportunity in Monmouth County. The scale of the project will elevate the redevelopment effort and offer a mix of uses that will enhance the overall quality of life."

that Sylvania's old-growth forest and clear lakes may look different in the not so distant future due to the careless introduction of non-native plant and animal species that have no predators and therefore will become invasive.
In 2006, Scott Robinson, an observant Sylvania visitor, first noticed a few garlic mustard plants at Ash A campsite on Clark Lake, along the trail to the latrine. His was the first report to the Forest Service. In 2008 Sylvania volunteer Dan Wallace found more garlic mustard at the south end of Clark Lake, along the Clark Lake trail. These two infestations were obviously brought in by visitors to Sylvania, and emphasize the need to clean boots and equipment before visiting. Anyone walking through the woods in southern Wisconsin can easily pick up soil with garlic mustard seeds, which are easily deposited in other natural areas.
European swamp thistle was first collected in Michigan from Marquette County in 1934. This tall and prickly weed produces many wind-dispersed seeds, and has spread throughout the Upper Peninsula. It was first collected in Wisconsin in 1961 and is still spreading west. European swamp thistle becomes easily established in wet sites, including lakeshores, wetland meadows, and conifer swamp. Because it is already so abundant, Sylvania Wilderness is currently the only place on the Ottawa National Forest where control is being attempted. Since 2006, the Forest Service has tried to control all infestations within the Wilderness. Most work involves walking the entire shorelines of Clark Lake and Loon Lake. Volunteers and Youth Conservation Corps students wear thick gloves and used small-headed shovels for "assisted pulling" of the plants. The target window is early July, when the thistle has bolted and begun flowering, but before seed set begins. Other non-native thistles in Sylvania are bull thistle and Canada thistle.
Japanese barberry, a small shrub with yellow flowers, small spoon-shaped leaves, and many short sharp spines, has been found on about 8 sites within Sylvania. All sites have been small infestations, with just one to three bushes, and are being dug up as soon as they become known. Japanese barberry can overrun the forest understory, as has happened around Long Lake, less than one mile from the Wilderness boundary (see photo below). Birds disperse barberry fruits to remote spots throughout the western Upper Peninsula. Please be on the lookout for this invasive plant, and report sites to the Forest Service.
Several other invasive plants are known within Sylvania but outside the Wilderness boundary. Purple loosestrife has been treated near the Clark Lake canoe launch, and has not been seen since 2006. A site of Japanese knotweed on the north side of the road to the Clark Lake day-use area has been treated with herbicide for several years, and has been very difficult to control. Spotted knapweed has been found within the Wilderness, but is most abundant in the sandy opening at the north end of Clark Lake, east of the day-use area.
Take a look at the map of invasive plants to see where they have been found in Sylvania.
Just outside the Sylvania Wilderness boundary, in the north arm of Crooked Lake, is an infestation of Eurasian water-milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum), an aggressive non-native aquatic plant. John Skogerboe first found this infestation at the boat launch in 2002, during lake surveys by the Army Corp of Engineers in Gogebic County. The few Crooked Lake homeowners have been working with the Forest Service since then to control and, hopefully, eradicate this infestation. Treatments began in 2003 with a thorough survey and underwater-snorkel pulling of the Eurasian water-milfoil plants. In 2004 the homeowners arranged for chemical treatment of the infestation, and in July the water near the boat launch was treated with Renovate liquid herbicide (active ingredient triclopyr). The milfoil showed some symptoms of the herbicide but lingered on, so in September the site was treated again, this time with the granular herbicide Navigate (active ingredient 2,4-D). For the next four years surveys found only one to three Eurasian water-milfoil plants, and each year they were hand-pulled by snorkelers (to see pictures, click here). However, in 2009 sixteen Eurasian water-milfoil were found, including a new spot at the northeast end of the bay. Snorkelers spent hours pulling all the plants in 2009, but the spots came back in 2010, with a total of twenty-two plants (go to Activities>Weather, maps & directions to see a map showing the location of identified plants). The snorkel-pulling was repeated twice in 2010. In 2011, several additional plants were discovered. Two spots were therefore treated (active ingredient 2,4-D). A subsequent survey of the north bay revealed no plants. A much more detailed survey of the entire lake (as well as nearby Duck Lake) found no plants (to read the entire report, authored by B. Gajewski and funded by a grant from the 'Secure Rural School, Title II, USDA Forest Service', go to lake survey). This makes it the most successful aquatic plant control effort in the western Upper Peninsula.
This success was one of the reasons the Forest Service considered converting the Crooked Lake boat launch into a "carry-down" access. Go to FS Proposal to view the Forest Service document and related information.
Earthworms, like all living organisms, were driven out of the UP by the advancing ice sheet of the Wisconsin Glaciation. Those native North American earthworm species that survived south of the ice appear to be not very cold resistant. This accounts for the relative success of European species at colonizing formerly glaciated regions.
Most earthworm species that occur in the Upper Great Lakes Region, including Sylvania, are therefore not native to North America, but are of European origin. In recent decades, researchers have documented that some parts of Sylvania, and a good portion of the Ottawa National Forest, have been colonized by these invasive earthworms, which may have originally been brought in to the area by fishermen. These researchers have noted significant changes occurring in soil structure and understory vegetation of Sylvania's forests, presumably due to the action of invasive earthworms. In particular, earthworms can, over time, reduce the thickness the organic soil horizon (the duff layer), leading to significant declines in the abundance of soil microfauna and mesofauna. Recent evidence suggests that reduced abundance of small soil fauna, and alteration of soil microclimates, as a result of earthworm activity, may be contributing to the decline in some vertebrate fauna, such as terrestrial salamanders. Earthworm activity may also negatively affect the ability of some native herbaceous plants to become established and to maintain their populations, including some tree species. The lack of recruitment of young sugar maple trees over much of Sylvania in recent decades may, in fact, be due to the combined effects of several factors acting together, including: 1) the activities of invasive earthworms on the soil; 2) high deer numbers over many years, whose heavy browsing of maple seedlings can prevent them from reaching beyond a few feet in height; and 3) persistent and repeated droughts over much of the last decade, which has added additional stress to the entire ecosystem.
This exotic beetle from Asia was first discovered in the Detroit and Windsor areas in 2002 and since then has spread throughout lower Michigan, Ohio, northern Indiana, and recently into Wisconsin and the UP. The adult does little damage; it is the larvae (the immature stage) that feeds on the inner bark, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients, and thereby kills the tree. The EAB has destroyed tens of millions of ash trees in southeastern Michigan alone. The beetle has no known predators in North America; the only practical control option is tree removal.
Since the EAB can travel no more than a couple of miles on its own, the most likely cause of its spread throughout the Great Lakes region is the movement of firewood. Several government agencies, including the Ottawa National Forest, are working to contain and halt the spread of the EAB. In the UP, all of Mackinac, Keweenaw, and Houghton counties are now quarantined.
The Emeral ash borer has now been detected less than 100 miles to the north, threatening a number of 250-year old black ash that are growing in association with hemlock in Sylvania.
Carefully inspect and clean all seeds, soil, and debris from your clothes, boots, and equipment before entering Sylvania Wilderness.
Use the boot brush stations located at trailheads. Better yet, clean your boots before leaving home.
Inspect your boat, trailer, fishing and boating equipment and remove any plants and animals both before going in the water and after coming out.
Remember, live bait is prohibited in Sylvania, except Crooked Lake. Never release live bait!
Visitors to Sylvania are welcome to pull up thistle and knapweed plants, or cut the stems at the base, below the rosette of leaves. Wear thick gloves! Please report sites of other invasive species at the Entrance Station or contact Ian Shackleford (ishackleford(at)fs.fed.us, 906.932-1330 ext. 331).
More information on how to identify these invasive plants is available at the Entrance Station. Please be certain of your plant ID skills before attempting to remove plants.
Do not bring fire wood into Sylvania. You may purchase fire wood in Watersmeet.


One person I had heard a lot about from different sources while searching for interview candidates about Toronto's Beach neighbourhood is Marie Perrotta, the Founding Director of the Pegasus Community Project for Adults with Special Needs. This non-profit charitable organization provides daytime opportunities for adults with developmental challenges, family support and community outreach. Pegasus also runs a thrift store whose revenues support the operational funding needs of this organization and provide practical work experiences for program participants.
Just before 10 am this morning I went to meet Marie at the Beaches Community Centre which is the location for one of her program groups. A few minutes before Marie's arrival I had a chance to sit down for a few minutes with Gillian Story who is now a full-time program counsellor with the program. Gillian explained that the Pegasus program consists of three groups of adults with special needs that meet at three different locations: the Beaches Community Centre, Centre 55 and the Matty Eckler Community Centre, all in Toronto's east end. Since graduating with a degree in music and psychology at Concordia Gillian started working at Pegasus in October of 2006 and admits it was a big learning experience at first. But she says that the staff and the participants in the program have been extremely welcoming and made it easy for her to fit in.
As Marie arrived and took off her coat to get ready for an interview, one program participant, a 24-year old woman named Shannon sat down beside me. The group was very cheerful and demonstrated a very natural sense of curiosity. A couple of the participants had peppered me with questions as to who I was, why I was here and what I was planning to do, and I briefly explained my interview plans. Shannon mentioned that she works at the Pegasus Thrift Store twice a week and volunteers there on Saturdays as well. She operates the cash register and welcomes the customers. Marie confirmed that Shannon has a great talent working with people and referred to her as a "natural social worker". On Mondays Shannon goes to Variety Village, a fitness and life skills facility in Toronto's east end, where she and her friends from Pegasus enjoy swimming, weight-lifting and other physical activities. Shannon was very gregarious and outgoing and inquired whether they might be a possibility to see her later at the Pegasus Thrift Store.
I did not want to let Marie wait any longer, so I thanked Shannon for talking with me, and Marie and I relocated in order to be able to do a quiet interview. Marie is originally from Buffalo, and she and her husband moved to Ontario to complete their graduate degrees here. After her undergraduate degree in French literature she completed her graduate studies in assessment counseling at the Institute of Child Studies at the University of Toronto. Her work background prior to her involvement with Pegasus includes psychiatric research at the Hospital for Sick Children.
One of Canada's attributes that captured Marie right from the start was people's openness, the country's civility, diversity and tolerance. Marie noticed these characteristics right away and added that tolerance is underrated. In her words, if you spend enough time with people who are different, with time you'll get over those differences. I wholeheartedly agreed with her and we concluded that often it is lack of exposure to people of different backgrounds that creates negative stereotypes.
Marie has three children: Andrew, 34, an adult with developmental challenges, Olivia, who just graduated from international development and science at McGill University in Montreal, and Cristina, who at 17 years of age is still attending high school. As the mother of a child with a developmental disability Marie understands the unique pressures of families dealing with developmental challenges. In 1993 Marie found out that adult children with developmental handicaps would not have access to day programs after the age of 21. About 650 people in Toronto were on waiting lists for existing day programs and Marie knew she had to do something.
Marie got several parents together that were in similar situations, but the group did not last long. She called on government funding agencies and approached the Matty Eckler Community Centre, part of the Toronto Parks and Recreation Department. The representatives at the community centre reacted extremely positively and offered Marie some space for her intended day-time program. Once she had secured the location, she formally set up a charitable organization and put together a board of directors which included another parent with a developmentally challenged child, as well as three other board members, including a teacher, a child daycare administrator and an occupational therapist.
From January to September of 1994 the team raised $30,000. Alison Masters, one of the Board members, held a big auction and a party at Lido's Restaurant. With another fundraising event and a small grant from the city the program was ready to start. One of the earliest exercises was to find a name for the organization, and Marie came up with the idea to draw on Greek mythology. In the spring of 1994 they had set a goal to get the organization launched by the fall, so she decided to pick a fall sky constellation and came up with the name Pegasus. The organization indeed got its start in September of 1994. Today many other names of heavenly objects are used in the fundraising efforts of the organization: The "Galaxy of Stars" lists donors in different categories including "Hercules", "Perseus", "Cygnus" and "Lyra". Another group of donors is referred to as the "Meteors".
Over the years funding has come from many different sources. For ten years Marie ran an annual yard sale from her front yard and as the handling and storage of donated goods became too onerous, fundraising efforts have now shifted to the "Pegasus Thrift Store", located at 970 ½ Kingston Road. The store is an interesting project because not only does it provide significant funding for Pegasus, it also offers practical training and work opportunities for many of the participants in the Pegasus program.
Until 2000 Marie ran the program out of her house and recalls that acquainting herself with the necessary computer skills initially presented a challenge. In the beginning, when her daughter was only 4 years old, Marie had trained her to take telephone messages. So one day a call from the Association of Community Living came in and Cristina politely asked the caller to spell out the name of the association. When Marie had a look at the message Cristina took, she saw a big note, all scribbled out across the whole sheet of paper in a 4 year old's handwriting, but with a perfectly proper spelling of the organization's long name.
Today, the Pegasus Community project receives significant funding from the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services, and a program fee has been implemented. Marie indicated that the government support has been tremendously helpful in light of the enormous financial and psychological strain on families with a person who is suffering from developmental handicaps, which include such disabilities as Down's Syndrome, autism, certain cases of cerebral palsy and others. Marie added that many cases of developmental handicaps do not have an exact diagnosis.
The program is very staff intensive: the ratio of staff members to program participants is 1 to 2.5. Some of the participants require care to meet their physical needs. Staff also look after some medical needs, such as seizure monitoring, giving medications, and feeding through a G-tube. All of the staff members and volunteers in the program receive the requisite training to be able to provide proper care to the participants. Marie indicates that today virtually all of her staff members have two or more years of post-secondary education and many have university degrees and related experience.

Sensing the risks and the challenges posed by the virus at a very early stage, the Kingdom's wise leadership issued a Royal decree stipulating the creation of a specialized committee to follow up on the developments pertaining to the new Coronavirus, consisting of 24 government agencies and headed by His Excellency the Minister of Health. The committee was commissioned by the leadership to take all required steps and precautions necessary to confront the epidemic and reduce its Outbreak.
The leadership provided high level support to the efforts of the government agencies that worked with team spirit, in a framework of cooperation and coordination, resulting in integrated performance and professional work.
The cornerstone of achieving success was the level of harmony and coordination among all parts of the system and its components in crisis management, which was praised by the World Health Organization and many international specialists and experts.

Megan Thee Stallion Fights Back Tears Over Gunshot Injury, No Tory Mention
July 28, 2020 by website 0 Comments
Megan Thee Stallion is ready to talk about her injuries after the shooting she says she endured, but she's still fighting back tears — and, notably, NOT spilling names … including Tory Lanez.
Meg talked Monday about suffering injuries to both of her feet. She says she had to get surgery to get the bullets out, and, luckily, no bones or tendons were hit.
The rapper broke down crying a few different times during the stream, saying she wasn't ready to speak on it until now — adding that it was a serious situation she didn't take lightly, and one her fans (not to mention her family) helped her get through amid tons of attention.
Interestingly enough, Megan did NOT speak about Tory … who allegedly shot her as she exited the SUV they were riding in together early on July 12.
He was charged with possession of a firearm, but nothing more. Everyone's been pretty mum on who did what — and even Meg's playing it close to the vest for now. The only thing she says plainly … she'll be more careful with who she brings into her circle going forward.
As she's previously said … she's "hurt and traumatized" after the shooting, and our sources say that feeling of being victimized is partly why she won't mention Tory by name. Still, law enforcement sources tell us he is under investigation for an alleged assault with a deadly weapon — but he has not been charged.
In any case, Meg says she's doing better and ready to get back to her regular routine.

Judge denies request to disqualify D.C. attorney, firm from city's opioid lawsuit; drug companies seek dismissal of amended complaint
By Jonathan Bilyk | Dec 22, 2014
A federal judge has cleared the way for former District of Columbia Attorney General Linda Singer and the law firm for which she now works to continue representing the City of Chicago in an action against a group of pharmaceutical companies over the marketing of opioid painkillers.
U.S. District Judge Elaine E. Bucklo on Dec. 15 rejected an attempt by Purdue Pharma LP and two of its affiliates to disqualify Singer and the firm of Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll from representing the city because she held office at the time her then-subordinates had extracted a hefty settlement deal from the drug company over essentially the same issue.
Four days after that ruling came down, several of the defendant drug companies being sued by the city submitted motions seeking the dismissal of the city's October amended complaint. Those motions are scheduled to be presented before Bucklo on Dec. 29.
In denying the disqualification request, Bucklo noted Singer's past involvement with a similar action the D.C. attorney general's office brought about seven years ago against the company, which resulted in the settlement, but said Purdue failed to demonstrate her involvement was anything more than peripheral.
Because the evidence does not indicate "she was personally and substantially involved," Bucklo said Singer's actions in that case do not "create a 'reasonable appearance'" of impropriety affecting the city of Chicago's case against Purdue and its fellow defendants.
Purdue Pharma moved to disqualify Singer and the Cohen firm in August, about three months after the city filed suit against Purdue Pharma, Purdue Pharma Inc., The Purdue Frederick Company Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc., Endo Health Solutions Inc., Actavis PLC, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and Cephalon Inc.
In 2004, almost three years before Singer took office as D.C.'s attorney general, that office's Consumer and Trade Protection bureau began work along with representatives of more than two dozen other law enforcement jurisdictions on a multi-state investigation into the marketing of OxyContin.
About three months after Singer took office, Purdue agreed to pay a settlement of $19.5 million, including almost $1 million to D.C.
However, because the settlement would have exceeded the amount D.C. law would allow the district to accept, Singer and others helped coordinate a push for legislation in D.C. to boost the statutory limit to $3 million.
Singer also helped edit a press release with comments attributed to her trumpeting the settlement and commending Purdue for its "cooperation and willingness to work with the attorneys general" to "help stem the continuing illicit use of OxyContin."
As attorney general, Singer's name also appeared on the signature panel of the related consent judgment, though her deputy attorneys general who had worked the case for three years signed the actual document, "presumably as her designees," Bucklo wrote.
In 2012, the City of Chicago launched its own investigation into similar opioid drug marketing practices, and hired Singer and Cohen Milstein, a firm with 80 attorneys and offices in Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver and Florida, to assist.
Cohen Milstein also represents two California counties suing the same drug makers over the same issues.
After the city filed suit, Purdue argued Singer's past involvement with the D.C. investigation should disqualify her and Cohen Milstein under Rules of Professional Conduct.
Bucklo, however, said nothing she had done during her stint as D.C. attorney general rises to the level of improper or unethical behavior suggested by Purdue Pharma.
The judge noted Singer had only overseen the completion of the case in an official role, rather than in a hands-on capacity, and did not make any key decisions to impact the outcome of that case.
Further, Bucklo said Singer's involvement in drafting the associated press release announcing the settlement signified nothing, as public officials routinely allow their names to be ascribed to quotes in similar releases trumpeting achievements resulting from the efforts of their staff and others, and of which they may have only limited knowledge.
"The Purdue defendants are placing too much weight on a garden variety press release," Bucklo said. "These practices are so commonplace among government agencies that a reasonable person reading the D.C. Attorney General's press releases would not assume, from the mere presence of Ms. Singer's quote, that she was personally and substantially involved in the underlying matter."

Presacral Neurectomy is the surgical removal of the presacral plexus - the group of nerves that conducts the pain signal from the uterus to the brain. Presacral Neurectomy is employed for treatment of conditions causing chronic pelvic pain. Post treatment, pain signals are not transmitted at all for that area.
The cost of a Presacral Neurectomy depends on a number of factors and it is important to understand the reasons for wide range of costs in the market, and consult experts to help you avoid surprise elements.
Your overall health is one factor that can affect the final cost of your Presacral Neurectomy. The risks involved with surgery increase if you have any existing health issues. A general health examination will be carried out during the consultation period to assess the level of risk involved if the surgery for Presacral Neurectomy goes ahead. Underlying conditions could result in the cost of Presacral Neurectomy being higher.
The experience and reputation of the hospital and surgeon is another factor that can increase or decrease Presacral Neurectomy prices. Presacral Neurectomy surgeons with particularly good reputations and decades of experience are likely to demand a higher price. Savings on Presacral Neurectomy can be found with surgeons who are highly-skilled but still developing their reputation.
The possible expense of aftercare and rehabilitation for surgery will not usually be covered by the initial Presacral Neurectomy cost estimate given by the hospital. The patient might also acquire additional costs from nurse and therapist visits. Painkilling medication and specialist equipment can also increase the price.
Presacral Neurectomy Hospitals Patients can find significant cost savings and shorter waiting times without compromising on quality by traveling from their home country for a major procedure like a Presacral Neurectomy. One of the first things to consider when searching for a hospital for Presacral Neurectomy is the experience and profile of the surgeon. The patient needs to build a good relationship with the surgeon as the recovery period and specific details of the Presacral Neurectomy vary depending on his or her condition. It is not always possible to meet face-to-face with the surgeon before traveling for Presacral Neurectomy abroad. Many hospitals offer a series of consultations either by phone or online. This allows patients to communicate any concerns with the surgeon prior to treatment.
Many hospitals have started offering services designed for Presacral Neurectomy to make the process smoother for international patients. More services include translation and interpretation, airport transfers, car rental, concierge services and hotel booking. These hospitals help take care of logistics so that the patient can focus on recovery after Presacral Neurectomy.
The accreditations and certifications of a hospital can help Presacral Neurectomy patients make a judgement about their level of safety and quality. Any hospital accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI) meets a number of safety requirements specific to healthcare.
Lyfboat – a trusted Medical Advisory & Discount Platform, enables patients to find quality Presacral Neurectomy at affordable costs! Our platform facilitates direct connectivity, communication and free medical opinions from top medical institutes, all from a single source. We negotiate the best offers for you and provide expert medical advice to help you make informed decisions!

Cohorst takes challenges in stride
Senior captain faces tough competition, deafness
Cohorst takes challenges in stride Senior captain faces tough competition, deafness Check out this story on greenbaypressgazette.com: http://gbpg.net/2cRuK5k
Andrew Pekarek, USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin Published 6:01 p.m. CT Sept. 11, 2016

GREEN BAY - Cole Cohorst isn't afraid to admit that he should have probably joined the Bay Port boys cross-country team earlier than he did.
Possessing initials that even match up with those of the sport, Cohorst proved to be a perfect fit for it last year as a junior in becoming the Pirates' first WIAA state qualifier in four years.
"He had a nice climb," Bay Port cross-country coach Mike Jameson said. "We're hoping he can peak at the right time this year."
Cohorst isn't shy about saying his goal for this season is to return to Wisconsin Rapids for another state run, which he hopes to accomplish as a member of a team this time around.
The senior captain knows it will be a challenge to do so, but he's confident his squad can accomplish the feat.
Why wouldn't he be? After all, Cohorst has never been one to run away from difficult circumstances.
He is partially deaf in both ears and wears hearing aids.

For someone who was the new kid at school on a few occasions growing up after moving for his parents' work, Cohorst became accustomed to addressing his inquisitive peers about his hearing aids.
"People even now ask about it," said Cohorst, who categorized his deafness as being moderate to severe. "I'm very open about it because it's something you have and I don't think you should be hiding it or anything."
Cohorst, a first-team all-Fox River Classic Conference performer, feels being deaf has made him a stronger person.
"I watched movies with the closed captions on," Cohorst said. "It helped me become better at reading and writing. I've been highly proficient at it and above my grade level since I've been in kindergarten."
Cohorst, who maintained a GPA above a 4.0 for both semesters as a junior, has lived in Howard since he was in seventh grade. He competed in cross-country in middle school before choosing to go out for soccer during his first two years of high school.
Although he enjoyed soccer, Cohorst knew his true calling was to be a distance runner.
"He did track and was rather inconsistent," Jameson said. "But all of a sudden a green light went on over the summer (last year) training for cross-country. He trained really well during the cross-country season and reaped the benefits at the end and peaked at the right time. He's got a lot more hunger this year. Hopefully, he has a great season and pulls his teammates all together and they get collectively stronger."
Cohorst's deafness has never been much of an issue communicating with teammates. Even in the instances when he has to take his hearing aids out when completing workouts in the rain, Cohorst relies on reading lips.
"It doesn't really affect him at all," Bay Port junior Kyle Thieme said. "He can joke around with it and is OK with that."
Cohorst, who finished 60th in Division 1 at state last year, has gotten off to a rough start this season due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot.
However, he is starting to hit his stride and earned the last medal position Thursday in placing 15th in the Green Bay Southwest Invite at Colburn Park. The Pirates finished fourth at the 13-team meet.
Meanwhile, Thieme is coming back from a broken toe that forced him to miss all of last season. Thieme's return, along with the addition of his younger brother, Ryan, a freshman, should help put Bay Port in position to contend for its first trip to state as a team since 2011.
The Pirates were ranked No. 11 in the Wisconsin Cross Country Coaches Association's initial Division 1 state poll, which also featured No. 7 Kimberly and No. 9 Green Bay Preble from the Manitowoc sectional. That sectional also includes Ashwaubenon, which returns a pair of individual state qualifiers in senior Tannor Wagner and sophomore Randy Johnson.
Despite facing a stacked field, Cohorst likes his team's chances.
"It would be so much fun if you could have the team there (at state)," Cohorst said. "I was kind of warming up by myself last year. Since I'm captain this year … I'm trying to help them all come together as a team and pack run a little bit. I know if we can work together, we can get to state."

What is .TUF file in Log Shipping?
TUF file is a Microsoft SQL Server Transaction Undo file. .TUF File contains the information regarding any modifications that were made as part of incomplete transactions at the time the backup was performed.
A transaction undo(.TUF) file is required if a database is loaded in read-only state. In this state, further transaction log backups may be applied.
This entry was posted in SQL Server and tagged .TUF, Transaction Undo file on April 4, 2011 by Jugal Shah.
1 If so what is the main difference b/w .trn file and .tuf file.
.Trn is log backup file and .TUF is undo file. We can not use .TUF file but we can use .TRN file using Restore Log command.
.TUF is used by sql server agent to restore the database in readonly/standby mode or simply in logshipping.
.trn= extension of transaction log file….
What if this tuf get deleted accidentally? doest it affect logshipping behaviour.Pls explain.
yes if u will deleted the .tuf file ur log shipping restoration job will not work.
and your database can't be restored . in such case you have do a full back up and subsequent log/diff. back up to get it restored.
Is there any way to change the location of .tuf file in log shipping?
I am using sql server 2005 and by default it creates it in the .trn folder,but it just has read permission to this folder,so it cant create utf file and log shipping failed.

Jerudong Park v.2?
I thought I was an avid newspaper reader and I was quite surprised to have missed this one. Anyway, I found this news on www.earthtimes.org about our Jerudong Park:-
Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei's famed 644-million-dollar amusement park - Jerudong Park Playground - will relaunch this weekend after being "virtually dead" for years, park officials said Friday. Opened in 1994, the Playground was once billed at the largest amusement park in South-East Asia, boasting lavish rides, entertainment venues and a free admission policy.
The government hoped the multi-million-dollar extravaganza would attract thousands of foreign tourists to the tiny oil-rich nation, but the response proved disappointing.
To cope with the smaller-than-expected foreign market, the Playground's administration started charging admission fees and started a ride ticketing system a few years ago, which turned off Brunei visitors.
"Despite the charge, almost all rides were closed back then. So we re…
Jame Asr Stained Glass
The Guardian UK had this story on 8th December 2009 about John Lawson. Who? I bet that you would ask. I asked that too until I saw this photograph:-
[Stained Glass at Jame Asr Mosque in Kiarong]
And it was this guy who made that:-
John Lawson, who has died of cancer aged 77, was one of the leading stained-glass artists of his generation. He designed glorious windows not only in Westminster Abbey and many other British cathedrals and churches, but also in mosques, palaces and hotels as far afield as Dubai, Oman and Brunei. For the last three decades of the 20th century he was chief artist for the internationally renowned Goddard & Gibbs Studios.
When the 20-year restoration of Westminster Abbey was nearing completion in 1992, Donald Buttress, the Surveyor of the Fabric, or cathedral architect, suggested that the work should be commemorated with a replacement stained-glass window for the plain clear-glass one on the west wall of the abbey's early-16th-century Henry VII chapel.

Remember, Remember, The 8th of December
Exactly 47 years ago today, some people thought they heard fireworks. They were wondering why fireworks? Thy did not know that it was not fireworks that they heard. It was the sound of small arms fire. A group of people decided that they needed to take matters into their own hands. I was a two month old fetus in those days. My mother told me that she and my father had to sleep on the floor in case any stray bullet went through their wooden government quarters in Kuala Belait. One uncle told me that he was almost shot at by another uncle when he as members of the armed guards of BSP went to the Panaga Police Station to take refuge. The police shot at them because they thought the guards wanted to attack the police station. What I know about what happened 47 years ago was what I heard and read. A number of books had been written about it. Today my entry is about those books which you can go to the bookshops and buy them for yourselves.

Bruneian in Atomic Bomb Hiroshima
I remembered when I was in Darjah 4 way back in the very early 1970s, one of the fahaman article or comprehension I was reading had a story about a Brunei man during the aftermath of the first atomic bomb in Hiroshima. Apparently he had been a student there and the bomb fell over the city. Luckily he survived the bombing. After that I searched high and low for the book but to no avail. At that time I didn't know who the author was let alone from which book was the excerpt taken from.
About three years ago, I was in Mega Book Store. That's a free plug for the bookshop. I found this book written by Pengiran Yusof. I am 46 years old now and of course by now I know who he is and that he was the one who was in Hiroshima when the bomb was dropped by the Americans. I glanced through the book and lo and behold, that narrative was in the book. I quickly bought it, it was only $9.60.
I was rather surprised to discover that the book was only published in 2002 by Dewan Bahasa Malaysia. So I…
Our Pantangs
Someone asked in the comment box whether I could write something about pantang larang of Bruneians. I could. But then why would I do that? There is a book that you can actually buy and read all about it.
This book published by our Dewan Bahasa in 2006 contained all there is to know about the do's and dont's of our society or rather the dont's of our society. All the pantangs are listed in alphabetical order and altogether there are 115 of them (I counted). They range from 'Anak perempuan dilarang bermain permainan lelaki kelak sigau' to 'Tidur atau baring di atas batang besar ditakuti ditolak hantu kagui'.
For each pantang, there is a reason given and what lesson the pantang was supposed to teach. And there are also illustrations for a number of them.
If you read through them, most of readers will recognise a few but to be honest I am sure you will not recognise or even realise that there are pantangs which nobody has told you about. Some are slightly out of d…
Old Tutong Photo
I was looking through my father's old album searching for photographs to illustrate my third book when I came across this photograph. I thought this will go nicely with the maulud article in that book.
My father was an Assistant District Officer in Tutong in the 1960s. You can see him in the middle of the photograph in white with his interesting long shoes. That shoe we used to call as kasut pembunuhan. I don't know why. I thought it has gone out of fashion until I saw someone wearing it recently.
Anyway, the photograph is not so much about maulud but it is more about Tutong. If you look at the background, you can see old shops. That shophouse building has been torn down, someone told me burnt down, whatever it is, it has been replaced. The interesting information is that Kedai Haji Hasbullah, the famous maker of pulut panggang is still there.
What's more interesting is that the shop labels. All the Chinese labels are in Jawi. Nowadays labels are both in rumi and jawi. In jaw…
The History of the Borneo Games
I was asked to research on the history of the Borneo Games by Brunei Times. The 3rd Borneo Games is currently on at various venues throughout Brunei at the moment. I found out many things including the fact that one of my uncles was the first Brunei Borneo Games athletes. My article was published yesterday on Brunei Times:-
Remember these names? Sinin Metali, Aloysius Sibidol, Zainab Kadir, Junaidi Hamdan, George Chong, Abdullah Mustafa, Sanah Tamit, Pengiran Md Zain, Katherine Teo and Marina Metali? If these names do not jog your memory, then what about Latif Olen, Kuda Dita or Dilbaugh Sinkler?
Bruneians in the 1950s and 1960s interested in sports would remember that these were Brunei's and some of our neighbouring states' best athletes competing in the Borneo Games. Borneo Games was the most prestigious athletics competition that we had at that time.
Not many people remembered the first few Borneo Games nor did people remember the first Brunei athlete who took part in the first Borne…
Brunei Statistics 2008
What is the GDP of Brunei Darussalam? What is the amount of rainfall in Brunei? What is the maximum and minimum degrees over the last five years? How many teachers are there in Brunei? What is the value of our exports? Or our imports? How many Dewan Bahasa book members are there? How many criminal cases were handled by the police? What is our road casualties? How many dentists are there? Or Doctors? Or Nurses? How about pharmacists? What is the leading cause of death in Brunei? How about the top 10 leading causes?
This green book produced by the Statistics Department of the Economic Planning and Development Department can tell you all those statistics and many more other stats that you ever want to know or not want to know. This is the most useful book if you ever need to do a time series analysis of any data.
The latest book is the 2008 edition and I got mine a couple of weeks ago courtesy of my colleague at the PMO. It costs a miserly $8 for the amount of wealth that you can get from …
Selamat Hari Raya Haji
Two of the most important Islamic holidays of the year are Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha. Brunei as the rest of the world is celebrating Hari Raya Haji or Hari Raya Korban or Eid ul Adha. Do you know the history behind it?
We know Hari Raya Eid ul Fitr or Hari Raya Aidil Fitri as we say in Brunei marks the end of the long fasting month of Ramadan, Eid-ul-Adha marks the end of Hajj, the sacred pilgrimage to the holy city Mecca. Also popularly known as the Festival of Sacrifice, this Muslim holiday Eid-ul-Adha commemorates Nabi Ibrahim's unselfish act of sacrificing his own son Nabi Ismail to Allah.
The history behind Eid-ul-Adha follows the story of the faithful Nabi Ibrahim, who was instructed by Allah in a dream to raise the foundations of Kaabah, a black stone, the most sacred Muslim shrine in Mecca. Immediately responding to Allah's command, Nabi Ibrahim set off for Mecca along with his wife and son, Nabi Ismail. At that time, Mecca was a desolate and barren desert and Nabi Ibrahi…
Expensive Brunei Stamps
Not many things can make me go gaga. But the sight of this stamp on ebay certainly does the trick. This $5 stamp overprinted by the Japanese during the Second World War is worth a fortune. I tell you it's a fortune. At the moment, the opening bid for it is US$1,099.95 and so far no one has bid. But if I know the ebayers, wait till the last minute, someone will snap this up.
This is the other one also on at the same time. This 6 cent red overprinted Japanese occupation is currently open for bidding from US$699.95. The last time I tried to bid for this, it disappeared at around US$700+. But that figure is now the starting pay.
If you don't want to buy any other Brunei stamps, then get these two. You will not regret them.
Bruneians Winning Golf!
Yesterday, our football veterans won. Today, I found another winning Brunei entry, this time at Golf. This is a report from Malaysian Mirror also dated 23rd November 2009:-
JOHOR BAHRU: Brunei team, Lapor Po Tiger blazed the course on a very wet week at Tanjong Puteri Golf Resort to emerge as winners in the grand final of the World Amateur Inter Team Golf Championship (WAITGC), from November 3-5.
Powered by the sultanate's best known amateur golfer, Seruji Haji Setia (0) and backed up by Pg Adam Pg Hatan (0), Dennis Koh Kheng Siang (8) and youngster Sanjok Moktan (3), Lapor Po Tiger combined for a three-day total of 55-over-par 703 at the 6,454-metre, par-72 championship course, winning the gross title by six strokes.
"It was a team effort. The course was tough and the weather condition was challenging (round three was delayed by more than four hours due to thunderstorm) but we managed to pull through," said Seruji who was the team captain. "We are absolutely delighted with this win as …
Brunei Football Veteran Wins!
The New Sabah Times yesterday (23rd November 2009) reported this headline "Spectacular Bothwell goal seals Brunei Veterans' victory" and had this story (good to know we can still win it):
KOTA KINABALU: Mohd Brian Iman Abdullah Bothwell scored a spectacular goal in sudden-death extra time to help Brunei Veterans retain the Borneo 7s crown for the second successive year.
Brunei Veterans, made up of Brunei ex-national players, defeated MX10, virtually the same side that lost the final last year, albeit that last time out they played under the Lecoq FC banner.
Yesterday, it was a closely contested affair with Brunei Veterans drawing first blood through Mohd Brian Iman's opener as early as the third minute.
But MX10, who were strengthened by almost all ex-Rhinos with the likes of Bobby Chua, Harun Laban, Andrew Laban and Suharmin Yusof, found the equaliser when ex-Rhinos' skipper Jelius Ating nodded home in the ninth minute.
Then Harun helped MX10 to take the lead by slotting home in…
Rice Industry Statistics
During the launch of the agrifood by His Majesty, all the guests received several books as gifts. One of the books is a small booklet containing the Agriculture statistics of 2008. I was quite intrigued with the statistics on rice which looks like this:-
Throughout the last 10 years from 1999 to 2008, our local production has increased. The Agriculture Department has been slowly making local rice production efforts meeting the target of if I am not mistaken 20% of self sufficiency or something like that. That was not good enough and though the efforts of 2009 has been much more and has led to the new target of total self sufficiency in rice. Even from 1999 to 2008, we can see the local production increased from about 200 metric tons to about 900+ metric tons.
What's interesting is that the increase in rice production did not cause any dent in the rice imports. There was a sudden fall in 2000 but between 2001 to 2007, rice imports remained at around 30,000 metric tons and even increa…
Brunei's Finest Veterans
My spare time this week has been taken up calling up some of Brunei's athletes in order to complete my article on Borneo Games. I asked a number of people for names and my Minister gave me this name - Cikgu Haji Abdul Razak bin Bongsu. Finding his contact number was one of the easiest. Two of his children are engineers with the Public Works Department.
When we finally talked to each other, I discovered another whole world. When I was a student in Singapore in the 1970s, anything about Brunei always excited us. The lowest hill in the world then, which was a tiny bump somewhere in Shell's golf course. That got a mention in the Guiness Big of World Records. And the biggest story (to us students in Singapore) was an athlete Aloysius Sibidol winning world records for discus and javelin throwing. You probably are saying to yourself, huh??? Yes Sibidol established world records - in his age group. He was a veteran athlete.
I knew the world of veteran athletes was there but I didn't…
Borneo Games
The Managing Editor of Brunei Times asked me to write an article about the upcoming Borneo Games. This is not an easy subject to write. You see, for most of the articles I have written, I have practically all the reference books and other reference articles somewhere in my library. So I generally am able to write most things about Brunei but give me a topic on sports, my mind will be unable to function.
Anyway after a few quick checks on the internet which yielded very little but sufficient to go on, the first one was actually held in Brunei in 1954. It was at SRC in Seria. 1954 is not a good year. Borneo Bulletin has yet to go live then and practically everything was in Seria because that's where the British government really is. Not much was in Town. The first 5 year RKN was just kicking off.
However Seria is where I was born and my family more or less were in Seria then. I phoned my dad and he said why don't I ask my uncle as he remembered that my uncle took part in the Games…
Old Chinese Temple in Muara
Muara Chinese would remember this. This was the old chinese Temple in Muara. This was eventually demolised in the mid 1980s to make way for the expansion of the Muara Port.
Brunei Otters
A couple of months back, one of my junior colleagues took this photograph from his office. He has a nice office on the sixth floor of the MOD Building. That office overlooked the Highway and the airport as well as the huge canal flowing next to the highway. We have actually taken a boatride along that canal all the way from Kampong Ayer. When he first showed me this photograph, I was not sure what I was seeing. But when I cropped up the photograph. See, if you can recognise the animals.
Caught me by surprise too. I did not realise that there are otters living in our rivers. That means that the Brunei wildlife is more varied than I thought and to see a family of otters which honestly I have not seen in Brunei other than watching them on television even surprised me till now.
That really means we have to take care of our environment. We don't know what else is there that we inadvertently destroy in our haste to modernise.
Labuhan Kapal and Sungai Tekuyung
Yesterday during the 100 Years of Modern Land Administration Symposium, also held on the sidelines was a small exhibition of previous land related items. These are the cadastral equipment used to measure the size of land etc and also related old documents.
[The forerunner to today's electronic calculator]
[Really old land document]
[Minister looking at old land documents]
What we found interesting is that the first land title was at Labuhan Kapal. Labuhan Kapal is where the wharf is currently. Though yesterday someone argued that it is where the food stalls are rather than at the wharf. If you searched for an old photo of the Labuhan Kapal somewhere in this blogsite, you will find it. What I found interesting was the boundaries of that particular land. The boundary was Sungai Tekuyung. Sungai Tekuyung is somewhere where I live which is in Kilanas. That can't be right. If that is right, that would be a really huge piece of land. So, somewhere along the wharf, there used to be a sma…
100 Years of Modern Land Administration
Today will be held a special symposium to mark 100 years of modern land administration in Brunei. It will be held at the Kiulap Plaza Hotel.
Land Department itself is not 100 years old. It was formed in the early 1960s. Prior to that, it was the District Offices with special District Land Officers working in the district offices that determined whether or not you could have your land application approved. So the symposium is not celebrating 100 years of Land Department but 100 years of modern land administration - or rather the Land Code which was enforced in 1909. Before the land code of 1909, all land was either Crown Land (Kerajaan) or appanage land (held by high ranking nobles who were awarded "sacred" titles by the sultan) (Tulin), or private-heirloom land (held primarily by high-ranking nobles) (Kuripan). Today any land not under private title is state land. Only citizens are allowed to own land.
Rather than invent the wheel, here is what the Commissioner of Land said ab…
BEDB's 2000 Housing Project
Yesterday morning, I accompanied my minister to visit the housing project conducted by BEDB at Pandan 10 in Kuala Belait. It was a working visit to see if there is anything new that our own Housing Development Department (HDD) can learn from it as well as keeping an eye on the project as the houses will form part of our housing stock soon.
[Getting ready for the group photograph]
I remembered and tracked down an old BEDB press release about the cost of the houses. This is what it says in February "According to the BEDB's infrastructure division, the cost per house in Bina Puri's tender price is lower than for previous contracts awarded under the National Housing Scheme as a result of greater efficiency and economies of scale. "There will be savings for the government in terms of both time and money" said Mr Geoffrey Shim, Senior Executive Engineer with the BEDB."
Despite Mr Shim's claims, we were much disappointed to learn that the cost is not any lower than that built by t…
Brunei $100 1988
How many people remember this $100 note? Not many I am sure.
All these while, all my other notes collection was growing, I only had two pieces of this $100 note. On the internet too, especially on ebay, this is rarely available. On the current ebay, there is one currently available note with a price of about US$260. I was quite surprised the other day when my nephew said someone deposited a few pieces. I rushed to see him and saw 6 of these notes in varying condition. The worst was badly folded but the best was in the EF category. If you managed to get hold of one, keep it. It may not be worth as much as the Begawan note but I am sure that will change. You just can't find these notes.
This is one of the least remembered paper money that Brunei had ever produced. It was produced around 1988 to 1990. Many people remembered the older $100 of Sultan Omar Ali and of the earlier Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. Those two were the large notes. Those two were replaced by this $100 notes.
However thi…
A Growing Industry in Brunei
The Oxford Business Group on 3rd November 2009 published the following article:
Brunei Darussalam: A Growing Industry
Ensuring domestic food security and developing a viable export sector are at the heart of Brunei's efforts to establish a strong commercial food processing industry, though the country has to balance its staunch commitment to environmental protection with the need to achieve self-sufficiency in basic staples.
At present, Brunei Darussalam's agriculture only partially meets the country's food needs, with a small contribution to both employment and the economy, something that may well change in the near future.
Last year, the total output of Brunei Darussalam's domestic food sector was just $158m, though under a new strategy developed by the Department of Agriculture this is to increase to $430m in 2013 and $1.9bn by 2023. While the strategy aims to improve yields from farms, the emphasis is on growing the agri-industry.
Speaking at the …
High Pay with Minimal Schooling
I was intrigued by one article on finance.yahoo.com entitled "10 Jobs With High Pay and Minimal Schooling Required!" The article was written by Michael Kling and published on yahoo finance on Tuesday, November 3, 2009. It read as follows:
You don't have to go to college earn a decent living. Some professions pay good salaries without requiring post-secondary schooling.
Your New Career
Here's a list of top-paying jobs requiring little schooling, and their median annual earnings as of 2006, using the latest data available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Keep in mind that these jobs have their own challenges and often require some type of specialized schooling - sometimes on-the-job training.
1.Air Traffic Controllers: $117,200
These workers make sure airplanes land and take off safely, and they typically top lists of this nature. The median 50% earned between $86,860-142,210, with good benefits. Air traffic controllers are eligible to retire at age 50 with 20 yea…
Rebellion in Brunei
Tun Teja commented in the Comment Box a few days ago about how he just came across this book. In fact this is not a new book, this book has been around since the third quarter of 2007. I bought it in Singapore last year for a would you believe it price of S$193.81. I checked on the internet this morning, the price is much lower now. Barnes and Nobel is selling it for US$56.21 (S$78.86), Amazon USA is selling it for US$79.00 (S$110.84) and Amazon UK is selling it for GBP43.12 (S$98.96). Shipping and packing is of course extra.
This book is written by Datuk Harun Abdul Majid, one of our local businessmen. This book arises out of his dissertation when he was doing his Masters at King's College in London and he carried out his research at the Department of War Studies there.
Some people commented that no one has written about the 1962 incident. In fact, there are a number of other books written about Brunei Rebellion which you can still find in the market. Topmost obviously is HRH Princ…
Graduating Today?
This morning, lots of people will be coming out of ICC with brand new degrees and diplomas. I was going to do a short piece about the History of UBD and found that UBD has already publicised it in its website, but just in case, you have not read or seen it yourself, here it is with some additional notes.
The idea of establishing a university of Brunei Darussalam was first raised during a comprehensive review of the country's higher education facilities in 1976. Subsequent discussions led to the appointment of a steering committee which, with the assistance of the British Council, proceeded to engage a group of experts to study and advise on the matter. However, active planning for a university did not commence until 1984-5, at which time academic links were discussed with a number of universities in the United Kingdom and Malaysia.
On 23 April 1985 came an announcement from His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Negara Brune…
The Story of Two Books
I bought two books this week. One is a normal price or rather, locally Brunei priced best seller book and the other is an old almost antique book which cost five times more than the other one. When I look at Amazon, the price of that best seller was almost half but I guess with postage etc, it would probably cost close to what our local bookstores are selling. Anyway, I am talking about Dan Brown's Lost Symbol which retailed for $50.80.
I don't know about you. But after having watched National Treasure movies and reading other books and watching all those National Geographic and other channels, I didn't find the Lost Symbol that mysterious anymore. I guess that's me. Though I did lose some sleep trying to read the 500+ pages in just two days. Would I recommend it? Well... I would say buy it but wait for the paperback.
The other book which I bought was this. This plain green book is entitled simply 'The Royal Brunei Malay Regiment' which tells the history of the b…
RBA's Boeing 777?
According to The Washington Post compiling news from Indian newspapers on 26th October 2009, amongst them The Indian Express, Royal Brunei Airlines will finally be acquiring her Boeing 777.
Remember the continuing saga about Boeing 777? About 2 years ago, RBA was supposed to have leased a couple of Boeing 777. Brunei Times in its 18th June 2007 news wrote that "... reports on the internet (airlinersgallery.com) have stated that the airline has already acquired its first Boeing 777-200 last month. According to the report, a Boeing 777 has been repainted in full RBA livery from American flag carrier United Airlines, which is awaiting delivery at Fort Worth Alliance Airport in Texas. Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA) is also looking into expanding its fleet, with the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner touted as one of the possible future choices ..." The photograph of that Boeing was this:-
Anyway, despite the training and retraining of pilots, the planes still did not appear. Now The Indian Ex…
Brunei - now a big fish!
The Oxford Business Group reported the following on 26th October 2009:
Brunei Darussalam: Diving In at the Deep End
Brunei Darussalam is steadily building on its reputation as an Islamic financial services hub, making up for lost time and developing a credible sharia-compliant banking and financial sector.
Though the Sultanate has long offered Islamic financial services, operating in tandem with conventional banks and institutions, the lack of a broad-based regulatory environment meant that until recently the sector struggled to gain the recognition it deserved.
However, over the past few years there has been a rapid shift, thanks in part to reforms that established rigid guidelines to ensure banks offering Islamic products were fully compliant with sharia financial law requirements. As a result of these and other measures, Islamic banking sector has been equipped with a regulatory platform equal to or in advance of most of others operating in the industry.
These dev…
