Today we made these great "Angry Birds" birthday cards with the older children at our School Holiday Program. These cards were easy to make with the assistance of punches and circle cutters, and the children had a great time.
We are repeating this activity for children 8 years and older next school holidays, so if you would like to join us, please contact Lauren or Lisa on 03 8786 6656. Prior payment of $5.00 per child or $8.00 per family will be required to secure your booking.
The Thursday Scrapbooking Group will also be making these cards during Term 4, so if you would like to learn how to make them without the kids tagging along, come and join us! You will make beautiful pages, cards and gifts for your family and friends to enjoy while learning all about scrapbooking, cardmaking, stamping and other papercrafts. The Scrapbooking Group is held from 10 am to 12 pm every Thursday during term time at a cost of $8.00 per session which includes all materials.
Don't be fooled by the final score - Baylor 82, TCU 54. This game was actually very competitive at the start and the difference between these two teams isn't nearly as large as it might appear. TCU was up 31-30 late in the first half when Baylor went from zone to man and it was like they flipped a switch. They went on a 27-4 run and turned the game into a laugher by the middle of the 2nd half.
The thing I wonder about Baylor is why they play so much zone when they have the athletes to play man and compete with just about any team in the country. The underlying principle behind playing zone is to mask a disadvantage in talent and junk up a game against a better team. TCU went into a zone several times over the course of the game in order to try and stem the tide against Baylor and that's a program that might want to consider playing zone in order to make up for how overmatched athletically they are on the perimeter. When Baylor is playing a zone, it plays right into TCU's hands.
TCU doesn't have a lot of guys who can break down a defense and create shots for themselves or their teammates 1-on-1 but it didn't matter when Baylor was sitting back in a zone. They could pass the ball around the perimeter and cut into open spots in the zone and eventually create a good look. The only way for the defense to make it work is to try and be aggressive and attack out of the zone and TCU was too well prepared for where the ball needed to go. They also had the the most critical piece to picking apart a zone - a big man (Chris Washburn Jr. - the son of the former NBA player with the same name) with the size to see over the defense and the passing ability to find the open man.
As soon as Baylor went into man and started forcing the TCU guards to create off the dribble, it was church. Scott Drew just might want to think about doing that more often.
2) The Terry Maston show
The player of the game was Baylor sophomore big man Terry Maston, who continues to come on over the last few weeks. After 13 points against Iowa State, Maston had the game of his life on Tuesday, with 17 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists on 8-11 shooting. He kept Baylor in the game in the first half and he was almost completely unstoppable in the post. At 6'7 215 with a 6'11 wingspan, he looks like a Baylor big man - long, bouncy and skilled - and he seems well-positioned to be the next in the long line of frontcourt stars that Scott Drew has churned out. I love a big man with bloodlines and Maston is the nephew of former NBA big man Tony Battie.
What really stands about his game is ability to score in the post. He has incredible footwork and touch with his back to the basket and he has a great feel for where he is in the paint and how to get shots off from any angle. Your best chance to stop him is to push him off the block and he will definitely need to hit the gym in the off-season and get stronger. When he gets position, though, it's over. Cal super freshman Ivan Raab is the only guy in the country I've seen this season with Maston's feel for playing in the paint.
Maston doesn't even have a recruiting mixtape, which shows you how under the radar he was coming out of high school in DeSoto (a Dallas suburb). Scott Drew has a great eye for talent and he knows how to develop big guys.
3) Taurean Prince being aggressive
Just as important as the man defense in blowing open the game was Prince becoming more aggressive and looking to push the ball in transition and attack the rim and create offense either for himself or his teammates. Prince is Baylor's best player and when he's not looking to score their offense can get stagnant. He didn't have a huge game statistically but he filled up the stat sheet and got Baylor going by igniting the break and getting them going defense to offense - 9 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block on 4-6 shooting.
He gets knocked for his consistency and aggressiveness but I think that will actually work in his favor at the next level, where he can play in a more secondary role. Prince is not a natural first option and he'll much better when he can play off of more talented players who can set him up for offense instead of having to set up other people. A lot of times guys get moved down in the draft because they don't put up huge scoring numbers at the NCAA level but that's not what they will be asked to do in the NBA anyway. I really like Prince's all-around game as a 6'7 220 combo forward and I think he will be a steal if he stays as a late first-round pick.
4) TCU is a few guards away from being a good team
The Big 12 is a tough place for a rebuilding program so you might not see it by their win-loss record at the end of the season but TCU has some building blocks in place. They have a really interesting group of big men - Karviar Shepherd and Chris Washburn Jr. could play for any team in the country and Vladimir Brodziansky, JD Miller and Devonte Abron are 6'8+ guys with talent on their bench - and a solid 3-and-D wing in Brandon Parrish. The problem is they just don't have enough talent at the guard positions and that's going to get you killed in the college game.
They only played two guards for most of the game on Tuesday - Michael Williams and Chauncey Collins - and Collins is probably best used as a scoring guard off the bench while Williams just can't hang athletically at the Big 12 level. He had no chance of staying in front of Lester Medford and TCU almost had to play zone to keep him in the game. Williams might have been a decent bench guard but that was a huge mis-evaluation from the TCU coaching staff and they've really put themselves between a rock and a hard place when it comes to having enough guards this season. To be fair, it looks worse without Kenrich Williams, a 6'7 wing whom they lost for the season. If they had Williams and Kyan Anderson, their senior PG from last season, they might have had a chance to compete for a postseason berth.
5) Lester Medford dominated the TCU guards
Medford was only 1-5 with 3 points but he had 11 assists on 2 turnovers and he completely controlled the flow of the game. He had Williams playing on skates all night and he could go by him whenever he wanted. Medford is the X factor on this team - Baylor needs consistent offense from their backcourt to complement the players they have upfront and Medford, as their senior PG, is the logical place to look for it.
6) Baylor is set up well for next season
The key to being a consistent NCAA program is to set up your team so that you have young players in supporting roles who are ready to take on bigger roles going forward and there's a seamless transition from one team to the next. You want to have a team and a team in waiting each season and Baylor's team in waiting looks really good. They will be built around Johnathan Motley and Terry Matson upfront - and those two guys could be one of the best frontcourts in the country - and they have two athletic wing shooters (Al Freeman and King McClure) a transfer PG from Miami (Manu Lecomte) and a 6'5 freshman PG with good bloodlines (the son of a former Baylor player whose now the Utah Jazz GM).
An NCAA coach is a head coach and a GM in one position and Drew might not be the greatest X and O's guy but he is one of the best GM's in the country.
7) TCU better find a guard in the JUCO ranks
If I was a JUCO PG, I'd think long and hard about the prospective pitch that TCU could give me. They have a ton of big men coming back who could cover me on defense and whom I could set up on offense and they will offer a ton of opportunities to have the ball in my hands and rack up big stats while playing in one of the best conferences in the country. Baylor has done a great job of mining the JUCO ranks for PG's - Pierre Jackson, Kenny Chery and Medford - and TCU should think about following their model if they want to be competitive next season. There's a clear ceiling on this season's team but what has to really worry Trent Johnson is there aren't any promising young guards for their team in waiting either.
8) Trent Johnson has a really dry sense of humor
I have gotten to sit in on his last two press conferences - a dramatic win over Texas and a crushing loss to Baylor - and he was consistently funny in both situations. He's a clever guy with a bit of an edge - he had a lot of great one liners and he answered every question sardonically. He would be great on TV and that's looking like where he will be up if he keeps this up.
Mumpung lagi keluar buku terbaruku, jadi kali ini mau ngomongin soal promosi buku. Tapi kali ini buku terbarunya bukan buku anak lho ya. Melainkan buku ketrampilan. Judulnya "Menjahit Untuk Pemula." Buku ini memang diperuntukkan bagi siapapun yang ingin belajar menjahit. Di sini ada cara mengukur badan, membuat pola dasar, merancang bahan yang akan dijadikan baju, sampai cara menjahitnya. Harganya murah meriah kok yaitu Rp 40.000 (empat puluh ribu rupiah).
Sebenarnya ini bukan buku baru-baru banget. Ini adalah buku lama yang judulnya adalah "Pintar Menjahit Untuk Pemula." Buku ini sudah dicetak sejak tahun 2005 dan hingga tahun 2014 buku tersebut sudah mengalami cetakan sebanyak 22 kali dengan jumlah @ 3000 eksemplar untuk sekali cetak. Sedangkan cetakan pertama adalah 5.000 eksemplar.
Itu belum termasuk untuk penjualan proyek lho ya. Jumlah penjualan buku "pintar Menjahit Untuk Pemula" untuk keperluan proyek memang tidak pasti. Tapi pernah dulu dicetak sampai 7.500 eksemplar. Memang untuk penjualan proyek ini harganya lain dari harga penjualan biasa. Royaltinya pun hanya separoh dari penjualan biasa alias 5% saja. Tapi kalau jumlahnya banyak lumayan juga bukan?
Kembali lagi soal promosi buku. Jadi kenapa bisa buku "Pintar Menjahit untuk Pemula" ini dicetak berulang-ulang, bahkan sampai direvisi dan dicetak lagi? Padahal saya gak pernah melakukan promosi apapun. Saat itu tahun 2005 saya masih gaptek habis. Gak ngerti yang namanya branding, apalagi promosi buku dengan cuap-cuap di sosmed.
Lagi pula saya juga bukan orang yang suka narsis. Lagi pula menurut saya promosi buku dengan cara narsis itu gak akan mendongkrak banyak penjualan. Karena pada dasarnya orang membeli buku karena :
Membutuhkan isi buku tertentu
Suka pada buku tertentu sehingga bisa mendapatkan kesenangan dengan memmbacanya
Jadi kalau ada orang yang membeli buku karena alasan pertemanana, atau faktor gak enak karena ada di komunitas tertentu yang sudah menerbitkan buku tersebut, maka yang ada orang tersebut akan kecewa ketika ternyata buku yang dibelinya tidak bermanfaat atau tidak bisa memberikan kesenangan. Bagi penulis sejatinya akan sangat sedih jika bukunya tidak bsia bermanfaat bagi pembacanya, karena itu artinya membohongi pembaca.
Jadi begini sebenarnya. Tahun 2016 ini ada beberapa buku yang sudah saya tulis di tahun 2005 - 2010 lalu dan penjualan bagus, kemudian phak penerbit meminta saya untuk merevisinya kembali. Jadi buku revisian ini akan diterbitkan lagi menjadi buku baru. Dalam merevisi ini saya hanya perlu menambah atau mengurangi isinya. Untuk buku jahit ini saya menambahkan kreasi bajunya. Sehingga ada beberapa model baju baru yang menjadi contohnya. Sementara untuk buku yang lain saya justru diminta untuk mengurangi isinya.
Kembali lagi soal promosi buku ya. Pasti masih pada penasaran kenapa buku-buku saya bisa dicetak berulang-ulang tanpa ada promosi yang berarti dari saya. Berikut ini adalah langkah-langkah saya dalam menulis buku sehingga saya gak perlu narsis untuk promosi buku tap penjualan bisa maksimal.
Membuat konsep buku berdasarkan kebutuhan calon pembaca. Jadi saya harus tahu buku ini nantinya untuk siapa dan berapa banyak orang yang membutuhkannya. Ini penting karena semakin banyak orang membutuhkan buku yang kita tulis, maka akan semakin tinggi tingkat penjualannya.
Membuat buku yang bisa berguna dalam jangka waktu lama. Seperti misalnya buku jahit yang saya buat ini akan digunakan sampai kapanpun, karena ilmunya ya tidak akan berubah, hanya saja konsepnya memang perlu dikembangkan sesuai dengan kebutuhan jaman.
Membut konsep penjualan sejak awal. Memang penjualan adalah tugas dari marketing si penerbit. Tapi tidak ada salahnya kita membantu mempermudah tugas si marketing. Ini bisa kita lakukan dengan melakukan riset pasar buku. Dari hasil riset itu kita akan tahu seberapa besar penjualan buku yang bisa dicapai dan apa kelemahan serta kelebihan dari setiap buku yang sudah ada. Dengan demikian kita akan bisa membuat konsep buku yang penjualannya bisa bagus di toko buku ataupun di toko buku online.
Membuat buku yang bisa dicetak untuk proyek. Biasanya pemerintah akan mencetak buku-buku pengayaan yang akan didistribusaikan ke perpustakaan, lembaga kursus dll. Nah para penulis buku bisa memanfaatkan peluang ini. Kita bisa melakukan riset dari kurikulum sekolah dan mendapatkan peluang ide di sana.
Itulah yang saya lakukan selama ini. Memang nama saya gak akan begitu dikenal di sosisal media. Tapi yang penting bukankah penjualan buku bisa tinggi dan royalti bisa banyak? Pilih mana hayo terkenal di mana-mana tapi bukunya akan banyak yang di obral karena gak laku karena hanya mengandalkan penjualan toko buku dan gak berumur panjang keterbacaannya., atau gak begitu terkenal tapi royalti tinggi ? Jadi dari apa yang sudah saya alami terbukti bukan kalau proosi buku itu gak harus narsis.
The latest edition of the International Labour Organisation (ILO)’s World of Work report 2013 has revealed that the gap between rich and poor in most low and middle-income countries remains wide.
Many families which have managed to rise above the poverty line are at risk of lapsing back.
According to the report that was made available to the Guardian yesterday, by contrast, income inequalities have increased in advanced economies over the past two years, against the backdrop of increasing global unemployment – predicted to rise from the current 200 million to nearly 208 million by 2015.
The world work report 2013 states “repairing the economic and social fabric”, income inequalities rose between 2010 and 2011 in 14 of the 26 advanced economies surveyed, including France, Denmark, Spain and the US.
Inequality levels in seven of the remaining 12 countries were still higher than before the start of the crisis.
It states that although the economy was encouraging, but there were still-fragile signs of improvement in emerging and developing economies, while many advanced economies continue to face high or even rising unemployment and increasing inequalities.
As the global economy continues a slow recovery from the financial crisis, most emerging and developing countries are experiencing rising employment and narrowing income inequalities compared to their high-income counterparts.
Economic inequalities are also on the rise, as small firms lag behind their larger counterparts in terms of profits and productive investment.
While most large enterprises have regained access to capital markets, start-ups and small enterprises are disproportionately affected by bank credit conditions. This is a problem for job recovery now and affects economic prospects over the longer term.
“These figures present a positive development in many parts of the developing world, but paint a disturbing picture in many high income countries, despite the economic recovery.
The situation in some European countries in particular is beginning to strain their economic and social fabric. We need a global recovery focussed on jobs and productive investment, combined with better social protection for the poorest and most vulnerable groups.
And we need to pay serious attention to closing the inequality gap that is widening in so many parts of the world,” said ILO Director-General, Guy Ryder.
The report shows that middle-income groups in many advanced economies are shrinking, fuelled in part, by long-term unemployment, weakening job quality and workers dropping out of the labour market altogether.
By contrast, the report provides evidence that pay of chief executive officers in many of those countries has once again soared, following a short pause in the immediate aftermath of the global crisis.
“The shrinking size of middle-income groups in advanced economies is a matter of concern, not only for the inclusiveness of those societies but also for economic reasons.
Long-term investment decisions by enterprises also depend on the proximity of large and stable middle-income groups which are in a position to consume,” said Raymond Torres, Director of the International Institute for Labour Studies, the research arm of the ILO.
In Spain, the size of middle-income group declined from 50 per cent in 2007, to 46 per cent by the end of 2010. In the United States, the richest seven per cent of the population saw their average net worth increase during the first two years of the recovery from 56 per cent in 2009 to 63 per cent in 2011. The remaining 93 per cent of Americans saw their net worth decline.
“More and better jobs are needed so there can be a more balanced distribution of income in both advanced and developing economies,” Torres stressed. The size of the middle-income group in developing and emerging economies has increased from 263 million in 1999 to 694 million in 2010.
This is a major achievement of a growing number of Latin American and Asian countries, which spread more recently to some countries in Africa and the Arab region
Investing in girls and women's health is not just the best thing to do, it is the smartest thing to do. (File photo)
Between January and March, nine mothers lost their lives giving birth at Makole Health Centre in Dodoma district. The number is three times the deaths recorded at the centre between October and December last year where three women died.
Harriet Kidayi, the Reproductive and Child Health Coordinator in Dodoma district based at the health centre blames this on late referrals to hospital.
To some, the number of women who died giving birth at the health centre, may not seem to be a big deal. But the reality is no woman should die giving birth. No woman should die giving life.
Globally, almost every minute a woman dies of complications related to pregnancy and child birth. And 99 per cent of these deaths occur in developing countries. Experts say the likelihood of a motherless child dying prematurely is ten times more than that with a mother. Every year, more than one million children are left motherless.
The late referrals that Kidayi, the reproductive and child health coordinator in Dodoma district says caused the deaths of mothers at Makole health centre this year are just one among many causes of maternal deaths in Tanzania. And there are various reasons why expectant mothers get to the hospital late and many are beyond their control.
Things like lack of transport to the nearest health facility. This is a big problem in rural areas. There are areas where expectant mothers walk for two days to get to hospital for delivery. Because of poverty, they can’t afford to hire a vehicle to the hospital. And the list of reasons for late referrals is long.
With only 18 months left before the 2015 Millennium Development Goals deadline, the Tanzanian government and other stakeholders in the health sector are fighting to see to it that the country attains goals number four on reducing child mortality by two thirds and number five on maternal mortality reduction by three quarters by 2015.
The government has been promoting family planning as part of the national reproductive health strategy. This is because 20- 25 per cent of maternal deaths could be avoided through prevention of unplanned and unwanted pregnancies.
Also mothers and children can become healthier and families can better provide for the care and upbringing of their children. Girls will not be forced to drop out of school because of unexpected pregnancies. Moreover, family planning is good for the overall development of the country.
Tanzania’s target is to have 60 per cent of women and girls using contraceptives by 2015 in a bid to reduce child and maternal mortality rates and improve women’s health. However, this is a challenge given that only 34 per cent of all women use family planning today. But we can get there if we want and this year’s health budget allocation of 1bn/- for reproduction health is a good move.
This is the first time that the government is allocating its own money for the purpose. The minister for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Hussein Mwinyi said when tabling the health budget in parliament last month that this is a big step that signals to development partners that Tanzania is serious about the matter. However, some Members of Parliament were not convinced 1bn/- was enough. This year’s budget allocation for health is 753.9bn/-.
Family planning is one of the most powerful ways of improving the health of women and children and of controlling population growth of a country. This is a fact that is yet to be known by many people especially those living in the rural areas of developing countries like Tanzania.
It is because of this high level of illiteracy that the US-based Population Reference Bureau (PRB) recently organised a one-week workshop in Dar Es Salaam for health journalists who can be good ambassadors in spreading the message.
The journalists were equipped with information on maternal and reproductive health. They also discussed how the press can play a vital role in addressing reproductive health and fertility issues and how these can cause socioeconomic development.
PRB is a non-partisan and evidence based organization with a mandate of informing people around the world about population, health and the environment and at the same time empowering them to use that information to advance their well being and that of generations to come.
Presenting the Tanzania MDGs progress report at the journalists’ workshop, the Director of Advanced Family Planning, Halima Shariff said infant mortality rates have declined by more than a half in the last decade. According to 2010 statistics, the rate stands at 51 per every 1,000 live births. This therefore is a green light that the set target of reducing infant mortality rate to 31 out of every 1000 births by 2015 is achievable.
On the other hand, reducing maternal mortality ratio remains a challenge. In 1990, the maternal mortality ratio stood at 529 per every 100,000 live births and after 10 years, in 2010 that is, the ratio was 454 women per every 100,000 live births. At this slow pace, the efforts of decreasing this to 133 by 2015 may clearly not be achieved.
Access to family planning services is one key component in achieving the above. Both men and women need to know the importance of child spacing and how this greatly contributes to improving the health of both the mother and the child. They also need to know the importance of giving birth in a health facility.
2010 statistics show that only 51 per cent of births in Tanzania are attended to by a skilled personnel. It therefore becomes difficult for the 90 per cent target to be attained in less than two years. This is given the country’s serious shortage of skilled workforce among other reasons.
To curb the shortage, the government has promised to increase the number of medical personnel and also to create a user-friendly environment for family planning services especially for youths since most are denied access to the services.
Harriet Kidayi, the Dodoma Reproductive and Child Health Coordinator says there has been an improvement in accessibility and use of family planning in Dodoma. She says most women prefer modern methods like the injectable method.
In 2011 62 per cent (84,804) of the targeted women were using contraceptives out of the targeted 136,004. In 2012, the percentage rose to 77 per cent (110,234) out of the targeted 142,596.
She however says that there is still more to be done in the peri-urban areas to have more women enlightened on the matter.
“Men’s involvement in family planning issues should be enhanced to help the current situation. Though as a district we have never received serious complaints of men battering their wives due to decisions they take on family planning as is the case in some regions,” Harriet says.
On maternal deaths, Harriet says; “to address this, the government has increased the number of health centres in the region by introducing Hombolo and Kikombo facilities. It has also introduced clean delivery packs containing all the necessities needed by women during labour and this is given to every woman at 39 weeks of pregnancy to help in case of emergencies.”
She also added that the number of mothers dying during delivery had greatly gone down in Dodoma district. A total 66 deaths were recorded in 2012 compared to 129 in 2011.
To attain the target goals by 2015, more efforts are needed and these include channeling more funds in the sector. The government needs to stop depending entirely on donors since delay of funds usually causes shortages. For years, family planning budget has been dependent on donor funds.
Another area of concern is addressing high fertility rates especially in the lake zone regions. Women in rural areas still have a high rate of seven children while those in urban areas have four children per woman. Lack of access to family planning services in rural areas, lack of willingness to use them and teenage pregnancies are cited as major factors contributing to the high fertility rates.
Dr. Muzdalifat Abeid, Head of Maternal Unit at Temeke Hospital says women are not willing to use family planning due to myths and misconceptions, low understanding of family planning by men thus discouraging their wives, religious beliefs and inadequate resources to sensitize people and facilitate delivery of the services.
All these are vices to fight if we want to see changes in infant and maternal mortality rates.
Speaking at the opening of the recently concluded high level global meeting on girls’ and women’s rights in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Women Deliver President, Jill Sheffield said investing in the health and reproductive rights of women and girls has benefits for both the families and the country at large.
“When we invest in girls and women’s health, it’s not just the best thing to do, it is the smartest thing to do,” said Ms Sheffield. She explained that sexual and reproductive health should be looked at as a human rights issue.
“We should look at it as a human right to have access to contraceptives and give it a central place in our work. All these commitments are in place and governments only need to implement them,” she said.
World leaders attending the meeting called on governments to invest more in the wellbeing of mothers and girls. Having been represented at the conference, we hope Tanzania will heed the call and thus meet the MDGs on maternal and child mortality come year 2015
