|.Crestone, Colorado - 2008 - (under construction) - This Buddhist based Retreat Center will be home for the teachings of Reggie & Lee Ray. It will also be used as a larger gathering space for other teachings and events, serving the greater Crestone/Baca community. The 2 buildings, the Shrine Room Building & a Residence Hall have both been designed to utilize solar energy (photovoltaic, hot water collectors & passive heating & cooling) and with the precepts of Harmonic Proportions.A CANCER patient has raised more than £4,000 to help build a new state-of-the-art facility.
Lorna Kean, who is having radiotherapy at Colchester General Hospital, held a race night which attracted 100 guests.
She was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in January last year.
She became aware of the Cancer Centre Campaign during her treatment and wanted to do something to support it.
Mrs Kean, a retired property lawyer who has two daughters with her husband Robert, said: "At the time of diagnosis, I was president of Colchester Centurion Rotary Club, the members of which all rallied to support me during my treatment and especially with the race night.
"Over the previous year the club had lost two members to cancer and now both myself and another rotary friend are undergoing treatment, and so wanted to help with the appeal."
They raised a total of £4,500.
Sonia Tankard, lead for radiotherapy thanked Lorna for her support.
The campaign hopes to raise £3.25million to bring all the cancer services together in one place at Colchester General Hospital.

}World War II influenced the boys in A Separate Peace, by John Knowles, by making them grow and mature more quickly than they would have had there not been a war. The war made some boys stronger and readier for whatever life would bring, while in others it disabled them to the point that they could not handle the demands of life.
The maturing influence of the war on Finny was a considerable one, even though it did not seem to the other boys that he was growing up at all. Gene's jealousy leads him to the point where he has to destroy Finny's greatest asset, his skill in sports, just so that he does not have to be the "popular guy's friend. Gene knocks Finny off the tree limb and he breaks his leg. Everyone at Devon except for Finny suspects that Gene caused Finny to fall off the branch, not Finny's loss of balance.
Finny's outlook on the whole situation is very grown up. He did not blame anyone but himself, even though it was not his fault at all.  Inside he is suffering with the anger and hurt of being excluded from the one thing that he wants to do most, fight in the war. This is an excellent example of how the war suddenly made the boys grow up into men. They had to face adulthood, and in order to do that, they had to become adults.
Another boy in the story who was made to grow up by the war was Leper. When he sees the movies about the ski troops, he thinks that it looks fun, so he surprises everyone by enlisting. Leper did not quite know what he was getting into when he enlisted. He thought that it looked like a fun ski trip; he could serve his country and ski around the world at the same time. Most average teenagers are not faced with the pressure of a war and shortages of everything, and so Leper had to grow in order to handle the pressure of the war.
But, in the process of growing, the pressure becomes too great. After a short time in the army, Leper goes crazy, and is labeled as a section eight discharge. But instead of having to go through that dishonorable fate, he escapes. Escaping is not a very good example of how much Leper grew, but it does show that a kid can grow up only so fast.
The third, and last, character that shows growing from the war is Gene. At one point, Gene and Brinker decide to enlist together, but Gene backs out of it because he feels that he is not ready. This shows that Gene has begun to mature. Gene feels that he has some debt to pay or some peace to settle, perhaps, before he ever goes to war. He shakes the limb with Finny on it as a search for that peace. He thinks that if he gets rid of Finny, even though Finny is his best friend, that everything will be fine. But it is not. It only makes things worse because soon after Finny is injured, Gene discovers that Finny never meant to overshadow him, or force him into doing anything he did not want to.
It takes almost the whole novel for Gene to finally mature enough to go to war and fight for his country. It is not his fault that he does not mature as quickly as some of the boys, but he is not rushing into things. He is finding and fighting for peace within himself before he ever sets foot on a battlefield.
 They were boys one day and had to be men the next. World circumstances forced them into a situation that they were ill equipped to handle. They had no warning of how difficult circumstances would become nor how much courage would be required to surmount these circumstances.Sustainable development goal 3 aims at ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being for all at all ages; to achieve these it is essential to strengthen health systems as well as empower health workers. Decentralization has long been advocated as a desirable process for improving health systems. Recently, it has been seen as an integral part of broader health reforms to strengthen health system and achieve improved equity, efficiency, quality and financial soundness. Nevertheless, we are still experiencing a top down approach in health system where almost all decisions, policies and developments are made by the central government.
According to Gilson et al. 1994, anecdotal and country-study evidence confirms that poorly designed and hastily implemented decentralization has serious consequences for health service delivery however, active involvement of health managers in the decentralization design, clear national resource allocation standards and health service norms, and an ongoing trainings and capacity building of managers are essential for guarding equity and quality and for improving efficiency in health service delivery. This training course on health system decentralization will empower leaders in the counties, districts, cities and local government to make decisions, develop sustainable policies and be the catalyst of change and drivers of development.
By the end of ten days, participants shall be equipped with skills and knowledge to meet challenges faced during decentralization. The issues encountered during designing, implementing and managing a decentralization transition these includes: financial, strategic, and quality management, monitoring and evaluation, needs assessment and prioritization and teambuilding. The first week will address the policy level process, assessing needs of a given community and setting priority while the second week will focus on enhancing management skills in the context of decentralization.Graduating college opens up a new world of possibilities. Some people graduate with a job lined up, others take a little longer to find their next step. During this time, there are a lot of financial decisions that need to be made and you are going to be solely responsible for them. It may be a new world of possibilities but it is also the real world, with real bills and expenses. You want to be financially prepared for this step in your life.
If you do have an income, make sure you establish a budget. Keep track of how much of your paycheck you need to go to certain expenses, bills, or
