Together We Can is excited to announce a partnership with the Rick and Sue Diamond Foundation for a long-term fundraising initiative to support Recovery in the Lower Mainland. Introducing Diamond Dogs! With a simple hot-dog cart and the passion to help a growing community of addiction survivors we want to turn your hunger into dollars donated for the cause.
One hundred percent (yes! 100%) of ALL PROCEEDS benefit several charitable causes. Currently Together We Can (TWC) will donate its full part of the proceeds to the Alano Club of Vancouver. Other causes include the myriad of efforts the Rick & Sue Diamond Foundation supports including one of their newest projects called "The Living Room". The Living Room is a drop in centre that will support homeless and addicted in Surrey with a place to learn about and fight their addiction, get help, get food, and most importantly stay alive. Many of those who join the successive ranks of the recovery community give back countless hours to help newcomers and help those who are down on their luck find hope and become productive, kind and understanding members of society.
The hot dog cart is donated by the Rick & Sue Diamond Foundation and is staffed by client-volunteers from Together We Can. These clients are excited to give back to society by donating their time and effort and we are extremely proud of them. Expect to see our DIAMOND DOGS all over Vancouver. Hungry while christmas shopping? Don't expect bad weather to stop our passion! What happens when a homeless person asks us for some food? Well, we give them one. We are REAL and we are here to help make Vancouver a better place with your help. Hot dogs and smokies are reasonably priced and fantastically tasty.
We thank all the volunteers, as well as everyone who came out to support us at 1525 W 7th Avenue, Vancouver at the Alano Club this weekend. Smokies, hot dogs, and drinks were savoured and enjoyed by everyone. Stay tuned for our next event, where we will be serving delicious hot dogs again. Special thanks to the Rick and Sue Diamond Foundation for their generosity and commitment to community fundraising initiatives such as this.

So, it's come to this: I'm preparing to interview for a temp job.
My contact at the agency sends me a humiliating email telling me what to do: Please wear a suit, it says, as if I'm new to this, as if I'm a high school senior going on her first interview, as if I've never seen the inside of an office before.
The definition of insanity, in a quote attributed to Albert Einstein, is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I've been doing the same thing since June of 2009; I look at job postings, send a cover letter and resume to ones that look promising, go on interviews, sometimes get called back for a second interview, and sometimes make it to the final two candidates.
I live in Albany Park, and go downtown rarely these days. When I do it's usually for some humiliating interview, so I make sure to build in other, more practical reasons to be there so it doesn't feel like a total waste of train fare and effort when I ultimately get rejected. I'd noticed that one of the rhinestones in my eyeglasses had fallen out. They're LaFont frames; an extravagant purchase, they are by far the most expensive thing that I wear, excluding my engagement ring. It took me a year to convince myself to buy them; I tried them on as a lark at a LaFont trunk show at a boutique called Eye Spy Optical on Lincoln. I already had a pair of glasses, several, in fact, I'm something of an eyewear maven. Most of the frames I've bought are vintage, and cost no more than $35. I had just gotten a prescription filled in a pair of reduced price Francis Klein frames when I saw the LaFont frames, so I held off. The next time I was due for an eye exam and new prescription, covered by insurance, I took the plunge. They sit perfectly on the bridge of my nose, making my face appear neither too large nor too small, they are feather light, and I've owned them for about four years.
My last trip downtown was for a farewell lunch for a former coworker who's relocating to San Francisco, and I sat silent as my former colleagues caught up on their work lives. Dan talked about his upcoming job change, and spoke in disparaging terms about his current supervisor, who didn't make a counteroffer when he told her that he'd been offered a job elsewhere, securing his opinion of her and of his current workplace. It was like listening to people speaking another language; I had nothing to add to the conversation. My built-in practical reason for being downtown that day was to visit the optician who'd filled the prescription for me. He couldn't help with my missing rhinestone, but gave me the business card of someone who works in the Jewelers Building at 5 South Wabash, and recommended that I try there.
I sleep poorly the night before my interview for the temp job; I wake up tired, bleary, and depressed. I go through the morning ablutions of any regular working woman, and make my way to the brown line at 7:30am. As the train makes its way toward the loop, it gets crowded. It's been so long since I've had a regular commute that it's strange to see all the working stiffs on the train engaged in behavior that has become alien to me: people from around the city have gotten up early, showered, fixed their hair, put on a suit – maybe a tie, and gotten on the train where they sit or stand in a mute, deadened state, interacting only with their iPhones, iPads, and the odd newspaper. They get off downtown, walk into air-conditioned buildings and spend the day pretending that they don't know any curse words. I get off at Adams and Wabash and join the streams of people walking down the stairs, moving urgently towards their destination. It looks like a carefully choreographed piece of performance art.
I find the address, and make my way to the security desk, where I get a temporary ID and pass through a turnstile corral that separates the public from a bank of elevators, and make my way to the 14th floor. Halfway through the second interview (there will be three in total) I've heard enough to I know I won't get this job. As it turns out, I've been interviewing for a personal assistant position, but the description was for a development assistant position, and in retrospect it's clear that I've answered some key questions incorrectly. I make my descent to the first floor and call the agency, as per my emailed instructions. "Do you think you'd accept if they offered you the job?" they ask. "Yes, I would," I say.
I go to Einstein's Bagels to get coffee and something to eat, and as I walk in the door the theme to "Sanford and Son" plays on the audio system, like some kind of cosmic commentary on my life. I order a bagel and a small coffee, and the woman at the register recommends that I get the bagel and medium coffee combo because it's cheaper. She's wearing an apron and a baseball hat with the Einstein's logo on it; I'm wearing a suit – the uniform of the perpetual job seeker. I wonder what it is about our interaction that moves her to make this suggestion; is it something in the way I walk, or the way I stare at the menu on the wall behind her that gives away my employment status? The bagel and medium coffee combo saves me about a dollar and a half, and it makes me feel protected somehow that this woman I've never met is looking after my financial well-being.
I sit at a table and pull out my Hallmark thank you notes from my purse, the cheapest kind available, $4 for a pack of 10, and my book of stamps. I've been on roughly 40 in-person interviews and 15 phone interviews since I was laid off in 2009: I've interviewed for six different positions at Rotary International; four at the University of Illinois at Chicago; and two at the University of Chicago; just to name a few, and I like to think that my contribution to the greeting card industry and the US Postal Service has supported the economic viability of both entities. I used to pore over every word in a thank you note and keep a copy of the text for future reference; now it comes out like so many prepackaged Hallmark messages: "Dear [name], thank you for taking the time to meet with me today regarding the open
[job title] position. I enjoyed our conversation, and hope to have the chance to discuss this opportunity further. Sincerely…"
Thank you notes written, coffee and bagel consumed, I left Einstein's and made my way to South Wabash. I rode the ancient, creaking elevator in the Jewelers Building to the eleventh floor and walked into the wrong studio – an expensive looking, brightly lit establishment that specialized in watches. They weren't sure they could help me, and I'd have to leave the eyeglasses with them if I wanted their expertise. I thanked them and left with my eyeglasses in hand. As I approached the elevator again I saw the place listed on the business card my optician had given me – Danny & Debbie Jewelers, tucked behind the elevator bank in a moldering two room studio with a view of an alley. In the back room, a man in his late 50s or early 60s who must have been Danny worked on a piece of jewelry, in the front room dusty display cases that were mostly empty housed a few pairs of silver earrings, and a plate with the Aztec sun calendar hung on one wall. I explained to a dark-haired woman who must have been Debbie what I needed, and she approached a shelf stacked with boxes of rhinestones. She pulled one down and Danny joined her in poring over them. They spoke to each other in Spanish, and I tried to understand them. Debbie referred to Danny as "Papa," and I heard him use the word "chiquita," which I've only heard in reference to bananas. "Esta, papa," she said, holding a tiny purple rhinestone in a pair of tweezers. Danny affixed the rhinestone into my eyeglass frames, told me not to wear them for a few hours, and retreated into the back room. I packed the eyeglasses into my bag, and pulled my wallet out, but Debbie made no move to write up an invoice or ask for payment. "What do I owe you?" I asked. "Oh, like, a dollar," she said, almost an afterthought.
On the train ride home I reflected on the events of the morning: for less than half of what it cost for me to ride the train downtown for my useless interview, two people worked earnestly to replace a tiny rhinestone that only I knew was missing. A few days later I would get a phone call from the temp agency, which I would let go to voicemail. I played it back, and missed the first few seconds because I was fumbling for the speakerphone button. "…great news" the voice on the message said, but the intonation was flat. I rewound to the beginning and heard the phrase in its entirety: "Unfortunately I'm not calling with great news…"
I've been trying to find a job to replace one that I lost for over three years, but it only took a minute for Danny and Debbie to find a replacement rhinestone for me. The color isn't an exact match, but only I know which one it is. I like the fact that it doesn't match perfectly; it reminds me of the small dignities that still exist in the world, of the possibility of finding what has been lost, of the inevitability of time moving forward regardless of what I have or don't have in the moment.

Advances in protein technologies have mushroomed to meet the growing demand for purified proteins for biomedical studies, structural genomics endeavours and clinical trials. The choice of an expression system is driven by a number of considerations, including the post-translational modifications that the product requires, whether a soluble protein is desired and whether the polypeptide is to be secreted. Often, however, the choice of an expression system is based on in-house expertise and familiarity with a subset of expression system. In this book internationally renown authors comprehensively review current and emerging expression technologies. Detailed reviews of the molecular genetics of expression systems in various organisms are presented. Topics covered include: Expression of extremphilic proteins; expression in E. coli, Bacillus spp., Saccharmyces cerevisiae, and methylotrophic yeasts; insect cell expression and the baculovirus system; and Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines for large-scale protein production. Also covered are two emerging expression systems, Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 and Caulobacter crescentus.

As a marketing strategy, online marketing has earned respect from webmasters. Many people have made money through affiliates for years. Between the years of history and the rapid pace of continuing development, there is a lot of internet marketing information out there. Total rookies and grizzled veterans alike will appreciate the affiliate promotion tips laid out in this article.
Be sure to remain completely honest with your visitors about affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is no different than any other advertisement strategy: It doesn't pay to be dishonest. If you can convince your audience that your affiliate links also have value, they are far more likely to check them out.
Be very careful not to abuse this process. Don't allow your partners to do so, either. You will end up annoying your visitor. The worst case scenario would be the potential spread of a virus or interference with tracking click-through behaviors.
Many will then choose to unsubscribe and then you will lose customers and need new ones. To attract new customers, send high quality emails to pique their interest.
If you are turning a good profit, consider trying to get a better commission. Most affiliate networks are happy to recognize good work.
To help earn money, affiliates like to use text services. While this is a newer strategy, many affiliates are using this to generate business.
Only keep the affiliates that are extremely profitable, to make the most of your online marketing. Conduct regular reviews of how your affiliates are performing. When you make space for other affiliates by eliminating the ones that do not work it will help.
Make sure the affiliate companies you are doing business with are both fair and generous. If your affiliate company isn't offering you at least 20% of the proceeds from each sale, dump 'em. The good affiliate companies understand that paying you a higher commission percentage will bring you back to represent more of their products.
Popular Products
Carefully research any products that you are considering linking to before you actually do so. The arrangement of the links will make a difference in the profits, so move them around from time to time.
Your affiliate status may suffer if you choose to market some of the web's most popular products. The most popular products do not necessarily tout the best quality. Competition will be very hard to deal with if you are dealing with a very popular product. You might not turn a profit.
When you are ready to choose prospective affiliates, make sure you already have a good feel of who the target audience will be. Not only will you increase the traffic in your website, it will also tell your customers that you know their needs and that you care about what they want.
You should give careful consideration to the products you intend to advertise before setting up the links to do it. You should take time to investigate how to arrange affiliate links in the most effective manner. An efficient and appealing design may lead to higher profits.
If you really want to jump start your affiliate marketing business, use paid ad placements, including Google AdSense. These paid advertising systems will target customers that are typing keywords into their browser, thus targeting customers that will probably have interest in your product.
There is great inequality in the design of affiliate websites. Some of these type websites tend to be complicated and hard to navigate. This may not be the best scenario, however, ambitious owners won't allow the design of the site to prevent them from generating income. These obviously helps out visitors, but it can also increase trust, and may motivate people to make purchases.
Engage in affiliate marketing in a clear and honest manner. Disclose all affiliations and tell people what you are trying to accomplish. If your visitors are not completely confident about your level of honesty, they are less likely to make a purchase for you to profit from.
Google Ads are a smart start to any affiliate marketing program and can shorten the wait time for profits. These ads target keywords and help increase traffic for your website.
An excellent tip for affiliation is to set a certain deadline for purchasing an affiliate product. If customers see that a product only has a little time left to sell, they may impulse buy that product. You can use this tactic to increase your sales.
Gaining your reader's trust is important in building a good reputation. If your readers actually like you and your content, they will support you by seeking out your referral links and clicking them if they are planning on buying the product anyway.
Tell your readers up front that you're part of an affiliate program. Being up front about it makes viewers more likely to accept your use of affiliate advertising to earn money to produce more content.
Actual statistics will really help you understand your position. It is a real asset to be able to view numbers for who is visiting your site and what they have purchased.
A very useful tool in affiliate marketing is an interesting newsletter that entices people to your business. A couple years ago emails were a fun thing. These days people will avoid giving out their email address at all costs, in order to avoid receiving spam.
When you have selected the products that you want to sell for affiliate partners, make sure your marketing efforts focus on pulling in an appropriate audience for those products. If your products are cheap, you can get away with a lot of volume and low visitors. If your product is high end and more costly, your strategies will need to be even more focused on converting visits to sales.
Emphasize positive words when you are running an affiliate marketing campaign. Even the phrases that are slightly negative you should not use. g.
Lifetime commissions are hard to come by in web marketing. While you should still keep an eye out for them because the rewards are wonderful, just keep in mind that they are hard to come by. Vendors pay the webmaster a commission for purchases made by the customers steered to them by the webmaster. Unfortunately, the commission is typically only paid for the first purchase so no commission is earned on any repeat orders. That is why it is worth it to find the best commissions.
Try not to use pop-up ads, instead use pop-under ads. Many people also set their computers so that pop-ups are blocked, and if this is the case, they will never even notice your adds. It is shown that pop-unders that load under the browsers are more likely to be read by visitors than pop-ups.
Move away from pop-up ads to pop-under ads. In addition, because of pop-up blockers, some readers never see pop-up ads. Results show that pop-under ads that load in the background while the reader is viewing your content have a much higher response rate than pop-ups.
A good affiliate marketing tip is to make sure you use an affiliate network. Affiliate networks are used to connect web business to good advertising partners. A successful webmaster will only do business with prominent networks. The use of these networks will bring you closer to your success. Your company will gain a better reputation by working only with established networks.
You need to make sure that your site is relevant to be successful with internet marketing. Stay current with what your affiliate programs offer. Increasing your program's usability and increasing your ad appeal can be helped with new tools that are continually being created.
Try to sell something that is quite popular already. A common strategy is to stay away from extremely popular products to steer clear of competition when participating in affiliate marketing. That said, it is possible to get high conversion rates in a popular niche with the right marketing plan and site design. Popular niches are often popular because many people need the product, so lots of competition doesn't necessarily mean that the market is saturated. Your job is to provide a unique marketing gimmick or perspective that stands out from the rest.
Giving customers confidence that your online business is legitimate is highly important. Your affiliate links need to be somewhat subtle. If you have done the right thing you will be able to see if someone is a partner.
Use online communities to help you develop new marketing strategies. There are a huge number of affiliate marketing forums where you can get help, as well as tools and programs to make your affiliate site even better.
Too many banners make a site appear confusing so try to avoid overusing them. Excessive banner ads make your site look trashy, and can turn off potential visitors. Make sure the content-to-banner ratio is appropriate, and ensure that banners don't interfere with your main content.
Think about additional products to complement what you are already selling. They might also want an mp3 player to listen to on their walks.
Before you sign up with the affiliate companies you have chosen, make sure that they offer commission on every product or sale that the company offers you. Ask them if they can track online, telephone, snail mail, and fax orders. If you have earned profits through these alternative methods, you certainly want to ensure that you are paid.
Invest some cash into paid advertising. Buy advertising associated with your keywords to convert more customers. Ads are a great way to draw in new customers and increase awareness of your products.
Affiliate Link
Author a e-book and upload it to websites that share articles and documents. You can entice more customers to your site using this suggestion, since the visitors have already shown an interest in your chosen topics. Be sure to include a number of links to your website inside the document.
Honesty is always the best policy, so remember to disclose to your readers that you are paid if they purchase from an affiliate link. Most people know when they are visiting an affiliate link and will only mistrust you if you aren't upfront with them. If you are honest with your readers and visitors, they will be more likely to use your services as an affiliate for future purchases.
Variety is key when it comes to success with an affiliate program. Make sure that you advertise with a handful of different venues for added profit. Some potential customers do product searchs through online search engines. Different strategies, such as the use of fliers or brochures, might be more effective for others. Discounts can encourage some potential customers to make a purchase. If you advertise your product in several ways, your audience will be larger.
Consider the peripherals when you are establishing affiliate links on the pages of your website. They might also want an mp3 player to listen to on their walks.
Consider entering a niche market to increase your profits through affiliate marketing. By using these niches, you can gain profits quicker than using niches that are more packed which could require lots of unwanted waiting time to gain visitors.
If your objective is to promote the sales of a product or service that is your own, you need to design a separate website for your affiliate program. Showing your affiliates in a positive way will make more affiliates want to do business with you. If your site ranks well in searches, other businesses will clamor to be associated with you.
You should go with some social media when you are doing affiliate marketing, Google will recognize this. Google's search engine takes social media into account heavily when ranking sites. The various social media sites tie in closely using the various information shared on the sites.
There is more money in the world of affiliate marketing than you think. Being educated on online marketing, as with any type of marketing, is important in maximizing your profits.
Sometimes when you are beginning with affiliate marketing, in order to make money, you need to spend some money. Look around at ways to spend some of your affiliate marketing profits for advertising and promotion. Advertising with venues, such as Google and Facebook, can yield a great return on investment.

Car Park Solutions for the Smart Traveller
One of the greatest pleasures one can experience in this life is travelling. If you are privileged enough to get to travel a few times within a year then you are very fortunate. People travelling to Central London should consider staying in Presidential Apartments to experience a more convenient, feel-at-home stay in the city. The Presidential Apartments Marylebone is the well-known, well-established serviced apartments in Central London.
While travelling is generally thought to be a very relaxing and fun experience, people often forget the hassles one has to go through sometimes when travelling or preparing to travel.
Getting to the airport, for example, and deciding if you should take your car, call a cab, or ride a shuttle. Each has their own pros and cons. Unless you have family or friends willing to drop you off, then you have no problem here, but if you don't or you don't like the idea for other people going out of their way just to drop you off, then you should consider these other options.
If you decide to take your own car, you will be comfortable and safe, and it will save you money. However, when you get to the airport, you have to decide where the safest place to leave your car would be. If you chose to take a cab to the airport, although convenient, it may be costly to you, depending on where you live. If you ride a shuttle service, although more cost-effective than the cab, there's no telling who you'll be riding with and your safety. No telling if it'll be comfortable, too.
Some airports have paid parking on a daily rate, and that, as you would expect, would be very expensive especially if you'll be travelling for more than a couple of days. Some people think it's quite unsafe to leave their cars at the airport. For those who would be away for weeks, their car's health is their concern because their car's battery might die.
Thankfully, there are local lots near the airport that offer affordable and comprehensive services. They watch over your car and turn it on when needed, so that your car battery will be in good health while you're away. This is great news for those who will be away long and plan on long term airport parking. Free shuttle service to and from the airport are also provided.

Selly Oak Nursery School

0121 472 1700
email: email@example.com
I have worked for both Birmingham and Dudley MBC's in Nursery and Primary schools as a Teaching Assistant and HLTA for a number of years since 1984. I had seven years at home raising my family who are now grown up. I finished work in 2010 when I moved to Holland with my husband for his job. Whilst there I helped with the local Beavers weekly group sessions. We returned to the UK in 2012 after having a really enjoyable time.
When I was asked to be a Governor at Selly Oak Nursey I welcomed the role to be part of an "Outstanding" educational establishment. I hope that with my experience I can support this nursery in its continuing success to be a place where children and parents feel happy and secure.

How inspiring was it that thousands of Egyptian women marched in Cairo last week? That things got so bad in Tahrir Square that Hillary Clinton felt compelled to cut the shackles of State Department protocol and weigh in on events she described as "shocking"?
I'd say moderately inspiring. And also, at the same time, if you plunge into the deeper context of the trigger that actually provoked the explosion among the female protesters, pretty damn depressing.
Here's why. What the women in Cairo were marching against last week was the brutal treatment of a young victim who has since been dubbed, very significantly, "the blue bra girl"—this, because government soldiers, after storming Tahrir Square, tore off the anonymous woman's head scarf and a lot of her clothing and beat her supine, half-stripped body. Was it the violence itself against a helpless victim that set off the women's mass outrage? Apparently not.
"Men are not going to cover your flesh, so we will," one homemaker confided to another protester. And yet another told a New York Times reporter: "I came so that girls are not stripped in the streets again, and because my daughters are always going to Tahrir."
In other words, best one can tell from reading media reports on the protests, it was the stripping of a young woman, her sexual humiliation and videoed shame, that ignited all that rage—and not necessarily the beating or, least of all, the general condition of all Egyptian women, whose daily round of indignities surpass even those of the girl dubbed "blue bra."
And yet here are some of the other outrages that by rights should have been—but were generally not—included in the women's list of grievances:
And, of course, the reason the rest of the world knows the latest young Tahrir Square victim only as "blue bra" is because she knows only too well—as do her angry Egyptian sisters—what would happen to her were she to reveal her real name. Indeed those marching sisters were, for the most part, either veiled or covered with head scarves. And although some of the protesters demanded female rights, quite a number confined themselves to decrying the military's lack of "gallantry" (translation: when you strip a girl down to her bra and beat her bloody, you are possibly deficient in gentlemanly qualities).
And here is another question, or rather a set of questions. Last March a fair number of Egyptian female protesters were rounded up and transported to military barracks where "virginity tests" were administered while concealed soldiers watched. Where was the anger of the Egyptian women then? Last February, also in Tahrir Square, the CBS newswoman Lara Logan was beaten, sexually assaulted, raped manually, as she put it, by gangs of men. She was saved by an Egyptian woman—actually, several Egyptian women, who, as she recalled, "closed ranks around me."
But there were no demonstrations. She was an outsider, dressed not in an abaya but trousers and a shirt. Where was the anger of thousands of Egyptian women then?
Where will it be tomorrow, for that matter? And for how long? And on whose behalf?

Title: "Does competitive swimming during puberty affect lung development in pubertal females?"
Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Bill Sheel (Kinesiology)
Committee members: Dr. Kristin Houghton (Division of Pediatrics, Medicine), Dr. Don McKenzie (Kinesiology, Medicine), Dr. Jim Potts (Division of Pediatrics, Medicine)
Chair: Dr. Ian Franks
Introduction: Whether the large lungs of competitive swimmers result from intensive swim training or genetic endowment has been widely debated. Given that peak growth velocities for the lungs occur during puberty, this longitudinal study aimed to determine if competitive swimming during puberty affected lung development.
Methods: Female swimmers and healthy controls aged 11-14 years old were assessed before and after one competitive swimming season. Pulmonary function testing included lung volumes, spirometry, diffusion capacity (DL,CO), and maximal inspiratory (PIMAX) and expiratory (PEMAX) mouth pressures. Ventilatory constraints, including end-expiratory lung volume (EELV), expiratory flow limitation (EFL), and utilization of ventilatory capacity (V̇E/V̇ECAP), were assessed during an incremental cycling test.
Results: Despite being of similar age, maturational development, and size as controls, swimmers had a larger total lung capacity, forced vital capacity, and peak expiratory flow. Although DL,CO was greater in swimmers, there was no difference when expressed relative to alveolar volume. Both PIMAX and PEMAX were greater in swimmers. Swimmers and controls achieved a similar relative maximal oxygen consumption and experienced similar ventilatory constraints as characterized by EELV, severity and prevalence of EFL, and V̇E/V̇ECAP. Changes over time were similar between groups.
Conclusion: Pubertal female swimmers already had larger lung capacities, higher flows, and greater indices of respiratory muscle strength compared to controls, but had similar ventilatory constraints while cycling. One competitive swimming season did not further accentuate this enhanced function or alter exercise ventilatory mechanics, suggesting that competitive swimming during puberty did not affect lung development.

Today, an LA Times story reported that, during a hearing to consider financial sanctions against the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, Superior Court Judge Amy Pellman reprimanded department social workers for their handling of a juvenile dependency case.
The story describes a family consisting of two parents and eight children struggling with homelessness, financial difficulty, and, in the case of the father, alcoholism leading to domestic violence. The Department initially removed the children based upon these issues; however, what happened afterward is what drew Judge Pellman's ire.
In November of last year things began looking up, with the mother reunited with the children after procuring an apartment and the father receiving counseling for his alcoholism. During his therapy, the father was ordered to stay away from the children, but was willing to live in his car to save money to pay the rent. The children were getting straight-A's in school and participated in sports and dance.
However, the two social workers handling the case reported the family to the landlord for the apartment building, alleging the family was violating the lease by having too many people living in a single apartment. Based upon this report, the landlord evicted the family. Following the eviction, the workers contacted one of the children's schools to report that she no longer lived within the school district. The family narrowly avoided the child's expulsion by obtaining a waiver allowing her to remain in the school.
During the hearing, Pellman addressed social worker Eleanor Clements and case supervisor Juliet Macias, stating, "You are there to support this family, not harass them. If a parent is being nasty or obnoxious or disrespectful then you are the professionals, right? You are not to respond in kind, OK?" Pellman continued, concluding that the workers acted out of "bad blood" in an effort to stifle the family's progress. Ultimately, however, Pellman concluded that she did not have the authority to impose sanctions against the department because the workers' actions did not violate a court order.
The sanctions process stems from a judge's inherent power to punish individuals or entities that the judge deems to have violated the Court's authority. The imposition of such sanctions against the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services have risen substantially over the last few years, nearly doubling from $25,000 to $48,000 between 2010 and 2011.
As evidenced by this story, the Department of Children and Family Services wields a significant amount of authority and has the ability to impose considerable restrictions upon parents it deems unfit. To make matters worse, Courts often rely too much on reports prepared by social workers to make decisions regarding the children at issue.
Thankfully, stories like this are coming to the public's attention. Finally the public can see what it only had heard anecdotally from parents caught in the nightmare that is dependency court. Social worker sometimes abuse their power and act out of malice when they don't like the parents or don't want them to succeed. A push for open courts is one solution to bring transparency to the system. Lauren K Johnson has written and spoken on this topic to the community.

Commentary:.Digital transformation remains a hot topic in the U.S. healthcare industry because technology is a primary driver behind an unprecedented confluence of three trends sweeping the healthcare sector:
* The escalating pace of technical advances in medical devices is driving the pursuit of better clinical outcomes for patients.
* An increasing rate of insured individuals is driving demand for better customer service from all healthcare organizations, both providers and payers.
* A continuing wave of mergers and acquisitions in the healthcare sector is driving the need to generate higher profits while controlling operational costs.
Coping with any one of these challenges is a daunting proposition for a business. Put the three together, and the task seems overwhelming for any organization of any scope and scale. That's why business intelligence is the most promising source of support for healthcare organizations. Just as patient data enables doctors to make better diagnoses, BI can empower healthcare leaders to run better businesses.
In fact, the faster a healthcare organization embraces BI, the better it will cope with the pace of digital transformation. A recent commentary for Healthcare Data Management, "Analytics and Healthcare: Ten Trends for 2016," by Brian Denton, associate professor at the University of Michigan, underscores this point. While Denton's column provides an excellent overview of what's happening and why it's happening, his column does not explain how it will happen.
For healthcare organizations of all sizes and specialties, IT Managed Service Providers (MSPs) will play three critical roles in enabling BI beyond installing tech tools. For healthcare organizations, MSPs can:
* Bring a specialized skill set – technical and functional – not native to the organization
* Add resources (i.e., people) to existing staff as necessary
* Mentor business teams through the BI process from design, through implementation, to adoption, with continuing support.
The third role may be the most important, as research by the Society for Information Management revealed through its 2016 IT Trends Study, which bucks conventional wisdom that business technology is more about tactics than strategy. This same traditional thinking holds that MSPs are mostly arms and legs, not brains with experience.
For healthcare companies, whose staff and budgets are stretched to match the demands of today's confluence of market forces, MSPs can contribute as business consultants, facilitating seven steps of BI evolution. Here are those steps in the order they should be pursued:
Strategize: Before considering apps and implementations, MSPs can moderate discussion with a healthcare organization's leadership about business plans and goals. The conversation should have a linear sequence, clarifying the current state of the company's IT before delving into the particulars of any future state. Also, a clear distinction must be drawn between what the business needs and what any technology stakeholders may want.
Prioritize: MSPs should shed light on the level of effort that will be required to meet the client's goals. No budget in any business is bottomless, a reality that is keenly felt under today's conditions. Level of difficulty often maps to level of expense. And, the pace of transformation should be set according to available funds.
Analyze: MSPs should guide healthcare clients through the process of developing key performance indicators, establishing baselines and setting realistic targets – before any new technology is implemented.
Evangelize: Communicating up, down and across an organization for "buy in" from every level in each department at all branches takes considerable discipline. But it's an effort that should be made before implementation, too. MSPs should assist by sharing successes and lessons learned from helping other healthcare clients. Through experience, most MSPs should know what to say and how to say it when making the case for BI.
Customize: By working through the first four steps of BI with a client, MSPs will have insight into building solutions specific to that organization. Few healthcare executives would believe "one size fits all." But even fewer will know how to do the proper sizing. An MSP should.
Optimize: Just as new BI technology needs to be customized to the nuances of a client's business, those solutions must be calibrated for peak performance in certain functional areas, such as finance, operations, clinical facilities and others. Again, an MSP's experience with other healthcare businesses in comparable situations delivers value that a firm would have trouble generating on its own.
Visualize: Like the "Optimize" phase, imagining and articulating the next generation of a BI solution and what will be necessary to support it is challenging without specific expertise and experience. MSPs should have these two attributes in abundance.
Digital transformation is an imperative in the minds of today's healthcare leaders, BI can deliver the most transformative power for healthcare organizations, and MSPs can be the most powerful catalyst.

Mission & Evangelism in Recent Thinking 1974-1986
Mission & Evangelism in Recent Thinking: 1974-1986 by Robert Bashford.
This study of mission and evangelism is part of a thesis presented by the Revd Robert Bashford for the degree of M.Phil (CNAA), which he was awarded in 1989. Originally, Mr Bashford considered the international statements on mission published by the Lausanne Congress in 1974, by the World Council of Churches (Nairobi, 1975) and by the Roman Catholic Church (1975) as well as the material presented here. He also extended his scope to take in statements on mission made by the Methodist and Roman Catholic Churches in the United Kingdom.
As the Anglican Communion embarked on a Decade of Evangelism, and as it does so in the 21st Century, it is essential for us to remember that in many respects we have been here before. The good intentions, the inspiring statements, the expressions of goodwill, and the almost total absence of any lasting results - all these will have had a familiar ring to those contemplating evangelism in the 1990s.
It is vitally inportant for us to understand what happened in the 1970s and 1980s, so that we realise just what are the strengths and weaknesses of our current position. Mr Bashford has given us an important survey of material which is often very hard to locate, and extremely difficult to analyse properly. His presentation is readable, and his research is thorough. We commend his study as an important contribution to the ongoing debate about, and practice of, mission in Britain.
Robert Bashford has been Vicar of Clapham, Bedford since 1996.

So now that you know the first few steps to your wedding planning, here are some key things to check off your list as the wedding day gets closer. If you're planning for a flawless wedding, the planning typically takes well over a year; so let's say, a year and a half to be on the safe side.
The first steps you need to take should be initiated within the first year to a year and half, these steps are the ones listed above. Once these are confirmed and set, you can start planning closer and to the more detailed aspects of the wedding.
6-12 months
- If a photographer and a videographer hasn't already been booked, now is the time to do it!
- Select a florist, decide on and reserve your bouquets, corsages, and other floral arrangements.
- Choose decorations so that you can finally bring your visions of the wedding to life.
- Wedding dresses shouldn't be a priority (although eager brides say otherwise), but 6-12 months is about the right time to start looking. Once you're found that perfect dress, the next steps are the alterations, and fitting that would need to be done a few times as the date gets closer.
- Bridesmaid dresses should be chosen during this time, when you've chosen your color theme and your dress
4-6 months
- As your special day approaches, you should now be considering to have chosen an attire for the groom and his groomsmen.
- Time to plan a honeymoon! Planning your trip requires plenty of research and can be very time consuming and quite the hassle, especially if you're trying to do it last minute with your wedding not so far away, so try and make these arrangements four to six months prior.
- The details of the receptions should be almost established by now and discussed with the MC so that if any changes occur within the next few months it shouldn't be a drastic problem.
2-4 months
- Since you've already created and revised the guest-list, it's time to finally send them out!
- The ceremony should be planned out, with your officiant being in the loop of things.
- Although everything is set and planned for the ceremony and reception, it is necessary to plan a rehearsal dinner so everyone knows exactly what they are in for.
- And of course, what would a wedding be without an amazing cake! The fancier the cake, the earlier you would need to book for them to create your masterpiece.
For the last month, the foundation of an amazing wedding should have already been planned out but now is the time to officially finalize everything! Final dress fittings, final rehearsal dinner, finalize transportation, programs and seating for the ceremony and reception, and finalizing honeymoon plans. These are just the main aspects of finishing up your planning, but the details are just as important to be aware of during the last month.
Finally, a week before your wedding, you will need to start organizing a plan for the closure and the aftermath of the wedding without causing more chaos. Some small tips include preparing for any payments that need to be made beforehand. Make necessary arrangements for rental returns, cleaning up, moving into your new home and start packing for your honeymoon trip!
The most important thing to remember is to have FUN during the process of planning your wedding. You only get to do it once, so enjoy it while it lasts!

Domestic Violence Hotline (24hrs/7 days)
1800 811 811
What is Domestic Violence?
Domestic Violence is an abuse of power in a relationship where one person uses a range of behaviours to intimidate, dominate and control the other person through fear.
These behaviours include:
- Emotional abuse (put downs)
- Social abuse (isolation)
- Sexual abuse (unwanted sexual contact)
- Economic abuse (controlling what you spend)
- Physical abuse (hitting, spitting, punching, kicking)
- Verbal abuse (name calling)
- Harassment
- Stalking
Everyone deserves to live a life free from fear and abuse!
Signs of Abuse may assist you recognise if you, or someone you know, are in an abusive relationship. Most women in abusive relationships will experience a range of these behaviours from the abuser. Experiencing any one of the signs is very serious and you do not need to experience several, or all of them, for your relationship to be abusive.
Women often ask us what to look for or how they can predict if a man they are interested in is likely to be abusing or controlling. Signs to Look for in an Abusive Personality provides a guide to inappropriate behaviours to be aware of.
When should you seek refuge?
- When you or your children are suffering from the effects of domestic violence
- When you fear for the safety of yourself and your children from a violent partner
- When you need support, understanding and assistance to leave an abusive home
If you are in an abusive relationship, having a Safety Plan worked out in advance can help you get out of the home safely and quickly if necessary. It is helpful to work through the steps, even if things are going smoothly. Bring your Safety Plan with you if you need to leave in a hurry.

In honor of my childhood hero and good friend (ahum) Muhammad Ali, I will now adopt the chants of the children of Zaire from 1974 as my political cry. Look for it in posts, but more importantly listen for it at events or just while driving down the street.
That guy standing on the barstool yelling bomaye? That would be me.
Ali! Bomaye!
Strickland! Bomaye!
Sherrod! Bomaye!
Shamansky! Bomaye!
Feel free to join me anytime…but get your own chair. This is hard enough! May the fighting spirit and outspoken nature of the Greatest of All Time live in you all. Now go forth and protest.

Ram Charan's new movie working stills have been leaked and Ram Charan is looking as a fierce pakka mass villager. Sukumar is directing the film and the movie runs totally on a village background. Ram Charan will be seen completely different in the film in a mass get up. His new appearance in the film resembled his father Mega Star chiranjeevi in Mutha mestri which was released back in 1993.
Ram Charan has grown a long beard to suit up the rough character. Recently the film's first look sketch has been unveiled by Sukumar and it described that the entire film runs on village story. For the first time ever Samantha will be pairing with Ram Charan in his new film.
At first Sukumar thought of taking Hebah patel but later Samantha has bagged the chance to act with Ram Charan. This will be the first film for Samantha after engaging with Naga Chaitanya. Currently the film crew is busy in shooting at Godavari location.
Ram Charan will play a powerful role in the film and this is completely different to Ram Charan's charishma. Till now we have seen Ram Charan in stylish appearances but now we will see him a pakka mass villager. Ram Charan's earlier film Dhruva is a successful hit at box office and now Ram Charan is eyeing for two back to back hits.

However the film name is not yet decided and more details are yet to be known. Stay tuned to mashables.in for more updates on Ram Charan's new movie with Sukumar.

Getting closer to the ½-way-point of your pregnancy, you're probably experiencing joy, discomfort, excitement, and longing for the weeks to go by and the arrival of the much anticipated day you finally get to meet your little one. At 17 weeks pregnant, it can be easy to fall into the hopes of time flying by, but do your best to stay in the moment. Everything about pregnancy is a waiting game; if you were "trying" for this pregnancy, you had to wait for ovulation (and possibly even take medication or test diligently for it), have sex accordingly, wait for the day you could test, wait for the pregnancy test to be positive, and wait for it to be confirmed by a doctor. Now that you're pregnant, you'll be waiting for each of the highlights like getting to find out the gender and actually going into labor and giving birth. Patience is the key to staying somewhat sane throughout the pregnancy process.
On the good side of your 17th week of pregnancy, your baby has reached a length of 5"! Her little body is, now, able to move around and react more. In addition to her limbs, she's able to pick her head up from her chest… a huge feat for someone so tiny. With all of the movement of her arms, legs, and head, it's a good thing that this is the point of your pregnancy that the soft cartilage that composes her skeleton is hardening to form strong bone. In addition to all of the physical changes she's undergoing, she's going to start being able to hear around this week. So, as of this week, your voice will be something constant that brings her peace and will continue to do so after she is born. Many moms choose to play music to their tummies via headphones starting at this point; the jury's still out on whether early introduction of classical music affects IQ.
At 17 weeks pregnant, there are a lot of things you can do to enjoy this time of your life more and focus less on the anticipation. With your growing belly and the physical changes you're undergoing to accommodate the growth of your uterus, pampering yourself is a good idea this week. Pain and swelling can occur in every part of your body from your hands to your feet, so resting and relaxing, warm baths (not too hot, or for too long), pedicures, and swimming are just a few activities that can alleviate pain and swelling. In addition to pampering, your diet and physical activity (once again) can have a major impact on the comfort or discomfort you experience in pregnancy; try to limit your sodium intake, drink more water daily, hydrate even when you're not feeling thirsty (thirst is a physical sign that you have surpassed the point of needing hydration), exercising daily (promoting blood circulation), and elevating your feet whenever you lay down.
The 17th week of your pregnancy can be exciting and also exhausting. While filled with the anticipation of delivering your baby, you can start to forget things that benefit you and how you feel at this time. By taking the time to pamper yourself, you can keep your mind and body happy… which helps every aspect of your pregnancy and developing baby, too. Don't discount the power of a pedicure or relaxing massage, and now is the time to forego folding the load of laundry in order to close your eyes for 15 minutes. Proper nutrition, hydration, and physical activity can also have a huge impact on your mind and body; don't forget to limit salty foods and drink lots of water. Going for a walk may sound exhausting right now, but you could be amazed at how much the blood getting pumping can help your mood and tiredness.

Article Title
Performance Management and Citizen Induced Financial Sanctions and Incentives in Education: Is There Public Support?
Widespread political support has expanded the use of market driven performance reforms. A growing number of these reforms aim to increase democratic accountability and enhance performance by including citizens in the evaluation phase of the administrative process. However, citizen support for market themes is unclear. Do they share elected officials enthusiasm or are there limitations on their support? This research assesses these questions by examining the demographics of support for financial sanctions and performance pay in education. The results reveal targeted demographic groups are generally less supportive of organizational sanctions and employee incentives than untargeted groups. Targeted parents, including racial minorities, urban, poorly educated, and economically disadvantaged parents were the most opposed to market reforms designed to enhance of the quality of educational services provided in their communities.

Become Listed Guide
Vietnam Tour Guide Business Principles
In order to maintain the integrity of Vietnam Tour Tailor company LTD, community of Vietnam Tour Guide and to ensure that our mutual customers have consistently great experiences, Tour Guides adhere to the following Business Principles. By doing so, we all achieve our goals.
To register as a Listed Vietnam Tour Guide, you agree to uphold the following principles:
As you are working in Vietnam, you have to follow the government policy which is listed in the Vietnam Law on Tourism. Thus, the foremost condition to be a listed guide is to get a International Tour Guide License granted by VNAT (Vietnam National Tourism Administration) which is still in use. This certificate will assure that VTT will not counter any problem when you lead the tour and that we will not have to pay any entrance fee for the guide she hires which will rise up our rate and lower down the company competitiveness.
Moreover, it is to show your education level which you have to gather to get qualified for the license. You should always be proud that you are a well-trained person and that you have to work to deserve that training.
You are a professional, whose primary concern is to provide your customers with unique travel experiences. To that end, you always act in a friendly, calm but professional manner. You understand that everything you say and do is a reflection of you, Vietnam Tour Tailor Company, Vietnam and Vietnamese culture. You accept that you have total responsibility for your customer's happiness and safety. You believe that it is best to under promise and over deliver.
You believe in full and complete disclosure. All information in your tour guide profile and tour description pages are accurate and up-to-date. Where changes due to weather or other circumstance are possible, they are noted the tour description. You have a keen awareness of any hazards and clearly explain issues related to personal safety.
VTT tries our best to instantly satisfy any customer need of a tour guide or tour services, so please try to make your Availability Calendar up-to-date. If you have set your calendar to be Available and the Customer book you then you are RESPONSIBLE to deliver the tour. Please stay connected via Cell phone or internet to update your availability whenever you have a change in the calendar. If you set the date to be available and then do not deliver the tour for sometimes on purpose, we will put a Notice of Non Professional Guide to your guide profile and that would effect your trade mark for long term tour guide career!
Once a tour booking is confirmed, you will do your utmost to deliver the tour unless there is an illness or other exceptional circumstance. In this case, as soon as possible, you will inform the customer and VTT so that we can work with you to find another qualified tour guide to take the tour who are in the list or the Qualified guide you know who are not in the list recommended by you should be creating a profile in our web site before the end of the tour so that clients can make a rating for his(her) performance. In all cases, you are responsible for the successful delivery of the tour as you are the one who confirmed it.
Once you have the a tour booking and arrange the guide by yourself without informing us, we will not pay you after the tour and wait till clients' feedback to know what happened. If any trouble happens, we will issue the Full refund to the customers.
The cost extra per day for your performance is charged to customers will be as described in the tour description. You understand that the value of the Extra money that the clients have to pay for your performance of the tour will be realized when they tour with you. We believe that all the guide hope to get the tip at the end of the tour but under no circumstances will you ask for a tip directly by anyway since you will be able to set your own salary after 10 reviews, tipping is not always necessary. Let's try go serve customers go get best reviews and set up the salary you deserve!
Your role is critical to the success of the tour. You are passionate and are well versed in the subject matter of your tour. If you don't know something, you are forthright about saying so and make an effort to get the answer before the end of the tour.
You are proactive and confirm and reconfirm all details of your tour, a day or two ahead of the activity. If possible, you contact VTT on the evening prior to the tour. During the tour, you anticipate events and are aware of what's going on around you. You understand that you are responsible for the well-being of your customers and aware of their emotional and physical safety at all times.
You present a tidy appearance, appropriate for the tour and avoid activities that might give offense – smoking, chewing gum, foul language and the like.
You understand that your job very demanding and that everything won't always run smoothly. When changes have to be made, you are clear to the customer why the change is being made and report to VTT for solution. You do your best to make the customer happy at all times.
If you are confident that you, your professionalism meet the guidelines, and agree with all the Regulations, please do not hesitate to register your Online profile to start the Quality Test and to build your own trade mark by contacting us with: firstname.lastname@example.com

Many times I have been given advise that goes along the lines of: don't tackle too many issues at one time, don't try to change too many things at the same time. I tried to honor this advise for most of my life, but it doesn't work! This is not a good piece of advise! It is true for certain circumstances, but it just won't work when you try to transform yourself.
The way to go is: Think Big! Find out what is important to you. Create your vision. Create your dreams. If you are looking for a personal transformation you will soon notice that you need to work on more than one project. You may need to look into switching careers. You may have to start creating a new network that allows you to meet the people who can help you with your transformation and to reach your goals.
Exploring all this at the same time creates momentum and you may discover that there is an interconnection between the people you need to meet to reach your transformation.
Let me share with you what I mean.
My personal transformation is centered around three topics: professional career, getting involved in a caring community and creating a network of friends that will help me during this process. Last week I went to a professional networking event where I met amazing people who shared my idea of being involved in a caring community. We clicked instantly and are now planning charity events for a cause that is dear to us. If I hadn't opened myself up to work on different aspects of my life, I may have not gone to this event (if my focus had been on community only) or I may not have sought the conversation with these amazing people (if I had looked for career development contacts only).
I truly believe when you Think Big, magic happens and you create a momentum that makes you open to meet the people you need to meet to follow your personal transformation.
Dream Big!

dis is Bartholomew, sighning off.
*The Golbraith-Ewles scale of Optimized Feline Facsimile Media Exposure is a unique rating system whereby any piece of media may be judged for having too many OR too few cats in it, opperating mostly from an understanding of supply and demand, i.e. the more cats there are past a certain point, the less value or impact each one is able to lend to the medium. In this scale, an ideal score is between 7 and 9, with any score higher or lower rendering judgment as either "underrepresentative" or "wasteful", as the case may be.

She is Nicki, the controversy's favorite child, who is all the time high on heels of grabbing the headlines. Well, it seems she loves the tabloids and the juicy stories they publish which is why she keeps on generating the bigger spicy-juicy content for them to publish.
On Monday, we found Nicki Minaj grabbing the attention of the show attendees to her bigger and voluptuous derriere and just after two days, the babe was ready to flaunt off her bigger and rounded assets through much revealing cleavage which was showing off the colorful bra.
The popular singer came out of her hotel in London being clad in a bra and a small cropped denim jacket over it. She paired the denim jacket with a pair of stone wash high-waisted jeans.
Dusky beauty Minaj accessorized the outfit with a denim cap. The huge view of her huge assets seemed really mouth-watering. Check out the picture and enjoy the heat.

Oswestry Cambrian Rotary 2014 © All Rights Reserved The Legal Stuff Oswestry Cambrian Rotary Privacy Notice
Cambrian Rotarians have started a wheel chair pushing service in partnership with the Oswestry Town Council following the banning of cars (other than funeral cars) into the cemetery.
Cars were banned after a number of incidents in the cemetery with people leaving their cars on the narrow roads forcing other to drive past them on the grass and consequently over some of the graves.
Cambrian Rotarians have adopted the Roundabout outside the main entrance to the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital.
Work started on 29th October and we are grateful to Guy Wilkinson of WGW Builders Ltd in Oswestry for his donated 2 days of work with his machine to strip off the soil and accumulated weeds on the roundabout prior to us turfing the centre area and applying white stone chipping's around the outer ring. Job done!
Cambrian Rotary have introduced the town's first community Halloween celebrationon 31st October as an annual event. Pumpkin carving competitions and Fire Breathing
Cambrian Rotarians took on the Father Christmas street collections around the streets of Oswestry and local villages for 2017 and going forward. Just over £3000 collected for local organisations and Rotary supported projects.
Cambrian Rotarians as part of our community project with Osyteers will be fitting 25 key safes kindly donated by David Wilson Homes for the elderly and vulnerable residents in Oswestry.
We also have a lot of fun!

The fabrics are beautiful and the photo really doesn't show how pretty, the instructions are super great.....so up the stairs I went after dinner. I took a nice cup of coffee and my iPad. I set up the iron and ironing board, pressed the fabric, sharpened my rotary cutter and started cutting the pieces. I listened to some Kenny G, yes, Kenny G.
Swaying to the music and I cut the first three series of pieces and before I knew it, it was an hour and a half later. Do I have any business starting a ANOTHER quilt? Not really. Here are the telltale scrapes from truing up the fabric.
These instructions are super great for cutting.
All these rulers and I am missing the one I need for part three.

Theo slept through the night last night. 9 pm to 7 am. It was absolutely dreamy. I feel amazing this morning, like I could run a marathon. Or at least walk around the block.
I'm not expecting a repeat performance, though. If there's one thing I've learned from parenting, it's that change is the only constant. I'll just take each night as it comes, and be grateful for any small mercy.
Simon has been watching WonderPets all morning. We don't get Nick Jr., but Grandma Debbie bought 3 dvd's of this, our favorite show. Seriously, WonderPets is the best kids show ever. We all love it. Nate's mom, after hearing us rave about the show, did a little searching online with hopes of furthering her quest to buy Simon everything his heart desires. She found a site, which apparently looked legit, and put in her order. They arrived, but looked curious. No cases. Just three blank discs, wrapped in green bubble wrap. Grandma totally (but unknowingly) bought bootleg discs of our favorite show. And we are so grateful.
Nate is "sleeping in" this morning, after staying up as late as he could manage last night. This is his first attempt to acclimate his body to his new schedule. He starts third shift on Monday night at 11 pm. I got me a real working man now, with steel-toed boots and a union card. We're all hoping that the graveyard shift is a very temporary deal for us. Not the best arrangement for a family. The weekends will be the hardest, as Nate will have to maintain the same sleeping schedule 7 days a week. That means I don't really get a respite all week... I have the same childcare schedule 7 days a week. And Nate will miss out on the extra hours with his family that the weekend used to afford. Instead he'll spend the wee hours at home and alone, the solitary wakeful person in the house. I don't expect it to be too bad. Still, it will be nice to be normal people again, eventually.
September is here, and it is glorious. Have a lovely day, friends.
Third Shift, Please Be Kind
