2007 Citywide Teacher of the Year
Patricia H. McGloine
Congratulations to our 2007 Citywide Teacher of the Year Patricia McGloine! As an IB (International Baccalaureate) and AP (Advanced Placement) European History teacher at Princess Anne High School, McGloine is a 20-year veteran teacher, with all of her years having been spent teaching in Virginia Beach.
McGloine, according to her principal Pat Griffin, is the sort of teacher who makes more than an impact... she is a "great teacher who makes a difference." She works hard to maintain a student-centered classroom in which students are encouraged to think critically and analytically, to share ideas, to trace relationships and compare and contrast historical events. She doesn't simply teach, but rather engages her students in the study of history, making it both interesting and meaningful.
McGloine encourages learning through motivation making subjects come alive through the use of differentiated teaching techniques. In McGloine's class, students learn by doing. From role playing in a "French Salon" setting, where intellectuals and bluestockings engage in discourse relating to politics and philosophy of the day, to debating whether or not the Reign of Terror (during the French Revolution) was justified through a historical context, students become a part of the lesson, learning through doing, collaborating, and sharing ideas. Through all these experiences, students gain increasing motivation, which is all part of their teacher's "master plan!"
McGloine's service to students and school doesn't end with the classroom. She serves on countless committees, councils, and is a coach, mentor, and advisor to students and staff alike. Currently, she is the assistant student activities coordinator, Lead Teacher for IB, and a Table Leader and Examiner for the AP European Exams. In addition, she makes time to present at conference and training events.
For Pat McGloine, teaching is an art form that "REQUIRES people who are passionate about their subject and willing to adapt their lessons to the learning styles, abilities, chemistry, previous knowledge, and even the daily moods of their classes."

How To Control Oily Skin During The Summer — Expert Tips
My already oily skin goes into overdrive in the summer, so if you're like me, you definitely need some tips on keeping oil and shine at bay as the temperatures rise! Keep reading for expert advice.
Who better to offer skin tips than a TV makeup artist? Essie Cha, former makeup department head for The Vampire Diaries and makeup department head for The Walking Dead, knows a thing or two about keeping makeup on and shine off — read her easy to follow tips for a shine-free summer below!
Essie offered these expert tips:
"Skin needs moisturizers regardless of the climate or your skin type. I use Dermalogica Active Moist and Oil Free Matte SPF30 on all actors, especially during the summer. To control oil, my makeup team and I apply Clearing Mattifier throughout the day and around the T-Zone. And don't forget to apply sunscreen on top!" Dermalogica has a ton of celeb fans — Jessica Alba and Britney Spears reportedly use the products.
More Summer Skincare Tips
After you get your skincare routine settled, make sure you pick the right makeup. Try the Neutrogena Shine Control Liquid Makeup, which is light and breathable but still contains must-wear SPF.
If you tend to get oily later in the day, don't pile on powder — inset blot with boscia Black Charcoal Blotting Linens. They absorb oil and shine without disturbing makeup.
Do you struggle with oily skin?

Looking for ways to stay full through out the day without over eating? Sometimes I have found that I think I am hungry and before I know it I have over eaten. Not only does that leave me feeling pretty horrible, but it can lead to me need some larger pants! And I certainly do not want that 🙂
Here are some of the things that I have learned along the way that help me to stay full without getting to full or to big for my pants!
1. Eat a filling breakfast. Skip the donuts or other pastry items. Get yourself a breakfast that will stick with you like a hearty bowl of oatmeal.
2. Focus on food when eating.Numerous studies have shown that people that are preoccupied with things like watching TV while eating end up eating more than when they are not preoccupied. Focus on your food and you will enjoy it more and stay full longer.
3. Go for fruit instead of juice. Have a choice between a bottle of apple juice and an apple? Go for the apple and you will stay full longer.
4. Eat fiber rich foods. It is no secret that fiber packing food like broccoli keeps you fuller longer.
5. Take a multivitamin daily. Sometimes we eat things because our body craves them due to us not having enough of something in our system. If you take a multivitamin you can reduce that from happening to you.
6. Eat 5 meals instead of 3. Instead of eating 3 large meals a day try to break it up into 5 or 6 low calorie meals. Not only will it keep you full all day long but it will make sure your metabolism does not slow down!
7. Drink water. Don't drink your calories in soda. Instead drink water all day long. Sometimes we think we are hungry when we are really just dehydrated. At the first sign of hunger, drink a glass of water and see if that takes care of it.
8. Try some chewing gum. Sometimes if we think we are hungry chewing some gum can take care of that hunger. Studies have shown that something about mimicking the chewing of food like that makes the body think that it is getting food. As a bonus it keeps the metabolism reving too.
9. Eat a salad or broth-based soup before your meal. Studies have shown that people that eat a salad or cup of soup before eating not only don't eat as much but they stay full longer.
10. Give your food time to digest. Did you just eat but still feel hungry? It takes your body about 20 minutes to digest that food, so give it some time and see if you are still hungry. Chances are you won't be!

Bitter gourd, bitter melon, goya, karela, balsam-pear… this green, knobbly vegetable is actually known under many different names depending on where you are from! As per its name-sake the flavour of the flesh is very bitter and is an acquired taste at first- but give it a go and you may never look back!
This cool and refreshing salad has a Japanese-inspired dressing that is rich with the umami of dashi fish stock, sweet mirin and fruity apple vinegar. Crunchy rings of bitter gourd are sweetened with small bursts of sweet tomato cubes and enlivened with fresh mint and lemon-basil leaves. It makes for a wonderful little side dish or appetizer whet the appetite!
Don't be scared of the bitterness of the bitter gourd- the process of salting to remove some of the juices and then quickly blanching mellows the flavour considerably. If this is your first time trying this vegetable I hope this dish will have you return for seconds!
For the salad:
- 3 bitter gourds, cut into 5mm rings with seeds removed
- 1 fresh tomato, de-seeded and cut into small dice
- 1 handful of fresh mint leaves
- 1 handful of fresh lemon-basil leaves
- 1 large handful of dried bonito flakes
For the dressing:
- 3″ square of dried kelp
- 1 large handful of dried bonito flakes
- 2-3 tsp instant dashi powder
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1-2 tsp apple vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Make the dressing. Place the dried kelp in a small saucepan and add in enough water to just cover the kelp. Bring to the boil and add in the dried bonito flakes. Cover and remove saucepan from heat. Leave to cool completely, then pour the stock through a fine sieve to remove the kelp and bonito flakes. Reserve the stock and discard the kelp and bonito flakes. Add the mirin, vinegar, sugar and sea salt to the stock. Taste and adjust seasoning if required.
- Place the sliced bitter gourd in a colander and massage in approximately 2 teaspoons of salt. Leave to stand for 15 minutes.
- Rinse the bitter gourd to remove the salt. Bring to a boil some water (enough to cover the bitter gourd) with a little salt in a large saucepan. Blanch the bitter gourd in the boiling water for 1 minute then refresh in ice water. Transfer the bitter gourd to a colander to drain.
- Mix together the stock with the bitter gourd, mint and lemon-basil. Leave to marinate for a least 30 minutes.
- Just before serving, mix in the diced tomato and top with dried bonito flakes.

Subsidence is an inevitable consequence of most forms of underground mining. In the UK it has more commonly been associated with coal extraction but is also associated with the extraction of other minerals including brine pumping. Outside the UK it is also associated with the mining of coal and other resources including metals.
We advise owners, developers and operators to understand the impact and mitigation options associated with active and future mining activities. In the UK we also act for the Cheshire Brine Subsidence Compensation Board in discharging their statutory duties.
We are highly experienced in subsidence engineering, modelling, prediction and monitoring. On many occasions key members of staff have acted as Expert Witness for and on behalf of claimants and respondents.

I recently conducted a workshop for Women in Consulting (WIC) entitled, "How to Position Your Consulting Business into New Markets" and learned a lot from the attendees. I enjoyed the experience and we did some great brainstorming at the end for everyone's businesses.
Most of the attendees were either consultants or entrepreneurs, contemplating a new market. Some were interested in biotech, or Green and others were deciding between several markets. In general, the group needed a process to help them begin marketing their skills to a new market that they hadn't tried before.
Overall, these women had incredible skills ranging from project management, marketing, training and development, HR, copywriting, engineering and even web development. Here's some tips and tricks for entering new markets for the first time that were discussed at the workshop:
1.) Find your focus: Although it may seem easy to say "I'm entering the Greentech market" you still need to determine a target audience and companies that you'd like to work with. Many of the people in the workshop I conducted were still unsure if the market they were going after would really be best suited to their skill sets and meet their expectations. Research, research and research! Once you've found your focus, make sure you do your homework to find out about the top 2-5 companies you may want to work for and find out what they're doing in their market.
2.) Determine your unique selling point – what makes you unique? Positioning yourself in a new market is critical. If other people have expertise in a specific market and you are competing with them, how can you add your value? The answer is to re-position your skills so that you are solving problems for the new market you want to enter. Find ways to address what makes you unique. Ask yourself how can you solve problems for this new market using the skills you've acquired in different industries?
3.) Update your image online to reflect your new market interest: Once you've re-positioned yourself, update this online! Use LinkedIn and other online vehicles to show your interest in new markets. Updating your resume and profile to indicate your new interest will make it clear you're ready to work in different industries.
4.) Find a market that suits your interests, passion and long-term goals: If you're not passionate about a company's cause, you may want to re-consider working in that market space. What moves you, what products are you passionate about and what business matches your own long-term goals? Ask yourself what industries match who you are as a person and as a professional.
5.) Network using your own rolodex: Chances are that someone in your own network knows someone in the market you are about to enter. Whether it's a coffee meeting or lunch to get better acquainted, find a mentor or networking buddy who can help you learn more about the market you'd like to enter and research what that industry is looking for in this economy. Make sure you get a greater understanding for their pain points right now, what types of people they like to hire and learn how their values match up to your own.
I will post more later on this topic, as I have compiled more notes on this workshop.
I will be conducting a webinar in December for People OnTheGo with the topic of "Top 5 Tips for Entering New Markets" and will post the registration link for everyone soon!

Martin Speake Quartet
8.30pm Monday 21st March 2011
We extend a warm welcome to the excellent Martin Speake on his first ever visit as leader to the club. His alto playing style has often been compared to that of the Cool School of performers such as Lee Konitz and Paul Desmond but that would be to understate his talents as both player and composer. He has many diverse CDs to his name, such as the self-explanatory "Exploring Standards" and "Charlie Parker", as well his work with Nikki Iles in the Secret Quartet on two albums of self-composed material, 2001's "Secret" and the follow-up last year, "Bloor Street", of which The Scotsman said "It has been almost a decade since the Secret Quartet made their first recording, but they have reconvened in glorious fashion on this intelligent, beautifully crafted follow-up".
Joining Martin will be Mike Outram, guitar, Chris Hyson, double bass and Dave Wickins, drums with what promises to be an entertainingly diverse programme of music covering all aspects of his work so far.
To hear a sample Martin's work on "Exploring Standards" follow the link to his website where you will find details of all his CDs to date:

Our Story
About us
Our Story
Welcome to APL Packaging, the home of high quality packaging.
Our aim is to help you buy the best packaging in the easiest possible way.
The early days!
APL was born in 1987, when we started to design and produce retail packaging. At that time Nick Varlow started as Anglo Packaging Company.
The business grew quickly, and Anglo Packaging Ltd was incorporated in 1988, which is where "APL" comes from. We built our first website in 1998, And yes! the home page said "Click to Enter"! Everyone thought that websites needed a front door in those days!
Online orders take off!
We launched the first ever packaging e-commerce site that really worked -and customers actually used - in 2002. We initially used a mind-numbing piece of software called Actinic. The site took 12 hours to upload using a dial-up connection! Fortunately, technology, and our spannering, moved on quickly. Our first Online Order was on the 11th July, 2002. (Thank you Celia H!)
Things moved so fast that we moved from Hove to Worthing to buy our bigger warehouse in 2004, and we built our lovely bright offices at the front.
Easy online ordering for plain and printed packaging!
Online ordering for print quickly followed in 2005. This was another world first, this time for ordering printed packaging online, and it continues to go from strength to strength. In 2008 we changed our name from Anglo Packaging Ltd to APL. (we found that's what people were calling us!) We now concentrate entirely on online packaging sales and rapid turn-round printed packaging. It's proved to be a good decision. It suits the times, and the business continues to grow.
We are expanding year on year by meeting our customer needs. We operate from our own modern warehouse and offices in Worthing. All our goods are stocked in our warehouse so there's no waiting. We carry out all our own fulfilment, which makes us ultra reliable.
APL supply plain packaging, and we supply printed packaging. Plain packaging will always be delivered next working day to anywhere in the UK (Unless you're on an island or in Highlands) when ordered by 4:30pm Monday to Friday. Printed packaging will normally be delivered from 7 working days from proof of approval. It's simple, economical, and quick.
Why buy from APL?
We offer the lowest delivery threshold in the industry, free delivery on all orders over £75!
We use top class carriers, DPD Local, giving you a 60 minute delivery window for your order.
We have a simple online ordering process that works from any device.
We offer the quickest turnaround time on printed carrier bags, from 7 working days from proof of approval
We know our industry and business inside out and we are eager to pass this benefit on to you. We are knowledgeable and wanting to answer your questions and needs. We are always pleased to receive your comments, please email

Rashes can be caused by an allergic reaction to something you have eaten or been in contact with, It can be hormone related, be from an infection, from insect bites or even be related to circulation issues such as vasculitis. As your doctor has ruled out scabies and the rash and itch is persisting I would suggest going back to your GP and discussing referral to a Dermatologist to assess this rash. They may need to do some testing such as blood tests or skin scrapings to locate the cause of the rash as this will dictate treatment. Hopefully this will help you,

An American in Sussex
i-studentglobal spoke to international student Molly Berenhaus, an American PhD Psychology student who first came to University of Sussex during her undergraduate studies. She talks to us about why she choose to study in the UK, the difference between studying in the UK and the USA and finding work whilst studying abroad.
How did you decide to study in the UK and why did you decide to study at the University of Sussex?
I started my degree at the University of Michigan in America. I'd spent the summer before working as a camp counsellor and met a lot of people from England who really sparked my interest in studying in the UK. During orientation week, I attended the Fresher's Fair and saw the stall for Study Abroad, where I was told about University of Sussex and Brighton and it seemed like a great place to study. I enrolled to study abroad in the UK for the second year of my course (courses are 4 years in America), which was unusual as most people study abroad later on in their degrees. When I arrived in the UK, I felt calmer almost immediately. Brighton is an amazing place which is vibrant and colorful and with a lot of music and theatre to go and see.
And once you were here in the UK, you decided to stay?
Pretty soon after arrival, I had decided that this was the place for me, so I spoke to my advisor and by the end of my first term here, I was enrolled as an international student studying the first year of my BSc in Psychology.
Molly's first trip to London in 2010
How does the education system for Psychology differ between the UK and the USA?
The style of teaching is very different in the UK to the US. Over here, students have to be a lot more self-regulated and motivated, spending a lot more time working independently than you do in the US. The education system in America is also really competitive, much more than I've noticed in the UK. I loved my undergraduate degree here because I was able to take electives from other subjects - I took some electives in drama, a module on playwriting, modern and post-modern drama and UK politics, which all really interested me.
Did you try to get work whilst studying in the UK and how did you find it?
In America, students really know how to search for opportunities. I think there is a little more pressure in the US compared to in the UK. I approached one of my lecturers that I got on well with and asked if they wanted a research assistant and they said yes, and that I would also get paid for it. It was as simple as that. Later on in my course, when I was living in Brighton, I worked part-time in a children's clothes shop in the city.
Molly's Graduation (June 2013)
Was it difficult to get funding and arranging your VISA for your PhD?
I was fortunate to be awarded one of the Chancellors International Research Scholarships, which covered all of my course fees, a stipend living allowance and also £5,000 per year for research expenses, which allows me to visit international conferences. Once I had the scholarship confirmed, getting the VISA for the further study was very simple.
Finally, have you travelled to anywhere else whilst studying in the UK?
Since being in the UK I've visited a number of other cities in other countries including Prague, Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam, Krakow and Dublin. I've also travelled abroad to a number of conferences including Rotterdam, Porto, and back to the USA.

I got so focused on the rest of the drugstore deals that I forgot to get this up last night! We had an unexpected week off from coupons this week, long story short our car is the in the shop with all the coupons in it and we are staying with family. It was a blessing that it died in a town that we planning on staying in for a few days!
I actually haven't needed to grocery shop since we got here except for three things. We are in a very tiny town in Florida so my only option was the gas station mini mart… I could drive 30 miles to go to the "Red Rabbit" but I am not up on the sales or coupon policies so it probably wouldn't have helped.
For 3 things I paid $14.35
Normal Southern Savers prices for them maybe $3.50
It was very painful… but reminds me why we coupon.
We bought:
All Detergent – over $7 (my normal price $1.90)
Salt $2.39 (on sale at Walgreens next week for .50)
Always… $4.50 (normal price .99 or less)
No matter how tired you get from coupons, one trip paying mini mart prices should cure you!!
How did you do this week? Leave a comment or link to your savings post (no links to home pages please make it easy for folks to see your post)

Professional wedding photos are on most couples' must-have lists, but that doesn't mean candid snaps from friends and family are equally special. The problem? Tracking them all down after the big day. I got married in the days before the hashtag so after I said my "I dos", I was emailing guests, going on Flickr and Facebook to track down pics, and begging when necessary. In the end I got lots of the photos my guests took, and it was a good thing, too. My wedding photographer ended up in the hospital on my wedding weekend and the backup he sent? Stunk. I mean, my pics were awful. Thankfully, my loved ones stepped in to fill in the gaps and I was able to make my own wedding album with my favorites.
These days, couples should not have the same issues that could make finding their wedding photos being so much work. Apparently, 55% of all weddings have a hashtag! Does yours? If not, experts say there's more to picking the perfect wedding hashtag than putting a pound sign in front of your names. A lot of brides and grooms will choose a mashup, a la Brangelina. Make it easy by including your wedding day or year or some defining feature – like #sarabob2015 or #halloweenwedding2016. Just make sure you check your wedding hashtag on Instagram and other sites to be sure it's original enough that you won't be wading through other couple's photos after the big day.
Just whatever you do, make it easy to remember! If it's too long or weird or complicated, guests aren't going to us it. And if all else fails, try the Wedding Hashtag Generator!
The best reason to create and share wedding hashtag is that you get to see your wedding from multiple perspectives! Your photographer will be one person in one position but your friends and family may capture moments your photog never sees. For instance, one of my very favorite wedding photos was myself and my husband and our families posing with the photographer in front of us wearing my mother's hat to block the sun. If I hadn't chased down everyone's pics I never would have seen it!
So pick a wedding hashtag, spread it around, and enjoy hundreds more wedding photos than you would have otherwise!

They've done witches and ghosts, serial killers and Nazis, nuns and Voodoo queens, satanic possessions and alien abductions – and that's only in three seasons. So just what does American Horror Story have planned for us in season four? Well, despite creator Ryan Murphy's attempts to keep it quiet, American Horror Story: Coven writer Douglas Petrie let it slip on a recent episode of the Nerdist Writers Panel podcast: it's going to take place at a carnival.
Since Murphy has already said the new season will be set in the 1950s and that Jessica Lange is "practicing her German accent," who knows what kind of carnival it will be. I guess…a German one? AHS star Sarah Paulson also revealed that she's already working on "a special skill" for season four – perhaps a contortionist or a trapeze artist? As the details come rolling in, it sounds like this season will be as crazy as ever. Murphy's looking to continue the lighter, more humorous tone of Coven, but let me be the first to say it: there is nothing funny about clowns. I CANNOT HANDLE CLOWNS. And you just know that a horror-filled carnival is going to be full of clowns. Meep. I am never going to sleep again.

What's this season's hot musical in the Soviet Union? Raggedy Ann, the Musical Adventure, a new show billed as ''a fantasy-filled adventure about a young girl who dreams that dolls, especially her Raggedy Ann, can come to life.''
Written by Tony Award-winner William Gibson (The Miracle Worker, Two for the Seesaw), with music and lyrics by Joe Raposo (You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown), the show was the first American stage production to play the USSR as an upshot of the recent cultural thaw between the superpowers.

Thriller U's dad found dead
THRILLER U is calling on Jamaicans who have any information that can assist the investigation into the death of his father to come forward.
The body of the artiste's 73-year-old father, Thadious Jamieson, was found in bushes along the the Simon Main Road in Tredegar Park, St Catherine, yesterday. He was reported missing a week ago.
"The police received an anonymous call reporting a foul odour coming from the bushes. The police called us to the scene and we could identified the clothes and the shoes," Thriller U told Jamaica Observer shortly after the discovery.
"I am calling on people with information as to what could have happened to my father to just come forward... Call the police, it can be an anonymous call... jus' call. We'd love that kind of assistance right now. Just put yourself in my shoes. It is eight years after my daughter was murdered overseas and now it's my father; any information will be appreciated," the reggae singer appealed.
He said his father's white Toyota Corolla motorcar — licence plate number 1287 GV — is still missing.
The Spanish Town police are investigating.
Jamieson was last seen alive on the afternoon of Saturday, September 2 leaving a hardware store in the Greendale area of Spanish Town. When he did not return home, the artiste and family made an alarm. Last Monday the family announced they were offering a reward of $500,00 for anyone who could offer information that would lead to Jamieson's safe return.
In a statement on social media, Thriller U expressed thanks for the outpouring of love and support the family has received over the past week.
"My dad is resting in the arms of sweet deliverance. May his memories be the light that shines in our darkest hour. I'm truly disturbed as a result of the way he was viciously and senselessly taken away from his family, especially my mother — his wife. I'm letting the authorities do their job to investigate the murder of my father," the statement read.
In 2009, Thriller U's 15-year-old daughter, Nekitta, was murdered in Florida and his wife shot and injured in the incident. Both were vacationing in the United States when a gunman broke into the home of the friend with whom they were staying in Miramar, Florida. Two occupants of the house, Faith Bisasor and her 15-year-old son, Davion Bishop, were also found dead.
Thriller U — a a solo act as well as a member of the quartet LUST — is known for songs including I'll Prove It to You, Young and She Green, Ain't No Way To Say I'm Sorry, and I'll Never Love This Way Again.

Young the Giant
Young the Giant
Roadrunner Records
KROQ puts on a great show with their Weenie Roast. This last year they had a small stage to compliment the main stage that had lots of smaller groups. Young The Giant are a band that played that small stage (announcing eagerly that they were natives of Irvine, California where the event was held). They put on a really good show. They tied for second best performance of that stage with Foster The People (Neon Trees easily took first place, they just killed it). It's interesting to me that those two bands resonated so much with me considering they are radio contemporaries. Though their instrumentation is quite different, I think that both bands represent a great ability to write songs that live on in your head long after you've turned off the radio.
Aside from the already minor hits in "Apartment", "My Body", and "Cough Syrup", take a listen to "I Got". There's a classicness (can I trademark that non-word?) to the song. I think that in many ways these songs are well-enough constructed to where if the band got a little more commercial success they would live on and be remembered for years to come. That's how much I like their songs. These aren't as outright "Pop" as what Foster The People put out but they still resonate very well. This is more the type of music that fills that gap of what is commonly referred to as "Alternative Rock". Again, this isn't Rock-your socks off music but it's not exactly sleepy Bon Iver either (think more Airborne Toxic Event or even Kaiser Chiefs).
The thing is, as great as the standouts are, this band may be a case of too much of a good thing for many people. They've definitely got a style that they don't really deviate from that much. So if you loved what you heard on the radio, there's maybe too much more of it here. Also, if you hated what you heard on the radio, well, then you are going to hate the rest of this as well.
That said, the standouts are all likely to be songs you've heard on the radio already. The rest of the album is very good, but not as great as what you are familiar with. Still, a great debut and a great display of some song-writing skills. I just hope they evolve their sound a bit to add a bit more diversity in their future releases.

"Pop! Pop! Let's go to the basement and look at your fishing lures!" My maternal grandfather, "Pop", must have heard these words or something very similar every day when I was little. I stayed with my grandparents during the day while my parents worked, and even at four years old the fishing bug had already bit me. My grandfather, who had the patience of a saint, would just smile and say "Ok, let's go take a look." We would go down stairs and sit on an old couch and Pop would open up the old metal tackle boxes that to my four year old eyes were treasure chests.
|Pop's Tackle Box
|Bomber Water Dog - One of Pop's
Pop was a fisherman for most of his life, and he used to have an old Johnson outboard motor in the basement that he would take up to Lake James or Lake Norman and put on a rental boat to fish. He often talked about buying his own boat, but by the time I came along Pop's fishing trips weren't as frequent and he never did buy a boat.
|Pop and six year old me with a trout
He still loved to fish, though, and often in the summer he would take my cousin and me, along with my parents and my aunt and uncle to one of those trout ponds where you pay by the pound for your catch. These ponds were near either Marion or Little Switzerland, NC and we would have fun catching trout that would wind up on the grill that evening back home. I don't remember Pop fishing much on these trips. I think for him it was a way to help introduce us at an early age to fishing, and these ponds were about as close as you can get to nonstop action. I'm sure Pop wanted us to catch a lot of fish and have a good time without the chance of getting bored with fishing. I'm also sure that Pop couldn't have known at the time that when I got older, trout fishing would become one of my favorite pursuits, although now it's usually with a fly rod in mountain streams.

David P. Tilton, president and chief executive of AtlantiCare, is convinced that merging with Geisinger Health System in Danville, Pa., will have a big payoff for his Atlantic County health system - despite the 211 miles separating the headquarters of the two organizations.
"It works because they've proven that they can do this with other organizations as distant as West Virginia and Maine from their Danville headquarters," said Tilton on Tuesday after announcing that AtlantiCare had reached a definitive agreement to merge with Geisinger.
AtlantiCare operates hospitals in Atlantic City and Galloway Township with a total of 589 licensed beds. Geisinger has five hospitals, a physicians group with 1,100 doctors at 80 clinics, and a health insurance company.
Tilton said AtlantiCare and Geisinger were convinced the future lies in managing the health of populations of people rather than getting paid for specific services.
In Maine and West Virginia, Tilton said, Geisinger reduced the amount of health care used, as measured by admissions rates, readmission rates, and emergency-room visits.
"When you're managing a population of people, you need to be able to show performance in those specific areas because that's where the real dollars are," Tilton said.
AtlantiCare's plan is to "mirror the kinds of results that they're achieving in Danville" and elsewhere, Tilton said.
The deal, which requires regulatory approvals that could take nine to 12 months, calls for Geisinger to invest $62.5 million in AtlantiCare's growth as part of a $175 million, five-year investment plan.
Under the plan, AtlantiCare is responsible for the first $50 million. Then AtlantiCare and Geisinger will split the remaining $125 million, Tilton said.

Hello! Holy smokes. It's been awhile, hasn't it? Being a stay-at-home mom 4 days of the week and a night-shift waitress for the other 3 has left little time for much else. Except Pokémon GO. I have been trying to pick away at various projects as much as I can. Trying to do this while also doing Normal Adult Things like paying bills and feeding my family has made creative work a bit more slow-going than usual, but here's an update on how things are going nevertheless! Retail Hell – This is certainly my most successful project to date! I've now been working on Retail Hell, my webcomic, for over a year with no end in sight. I've seen a huge spike in followers lately–over 300 since the beginning of July–so I feel the project has truly lifted off now. I've also switched to digital art. I'm still actively writing a comic a week and may, eventually, do more. I'd certainly like to! Mushroom and Anchovy – This is a trilogy of novels that I wrote many years ago and have pondered on ever since. I've never been completely sure of what I should do with them. I've decided to compile them into a single three-part novel and crowd fund through Inkshares! This way, I can keep the book as it is–a silly, strange oddity–and distribute it to anyone interested in reading it. I'm not really sure who the target audience is, but if you want to take a look at it, you can read the first chapter for free and without signing up for anything at the link above. At 50 followers, I'm going to begin my crowd funding campaign. Population: 1, Redux – Ahhhhh. Uhhh. Okay, hear me out. So, I've reached a level of massive scope creep. I blame Undertale. Pop: 1 was going to have a few endings and just be the absolute bare minimum of what I'd originally wanted. After playing Undertale, I decided I wanted to put more effort in. Now, it's blown up and has over 15 endings, and I'm not even close to finished. I like to think this will be worth it, but I know about 3 people will actually play the finished product, so I'm just kind of hoping I feel accomplished by the end of it. Maybe. So, I've given up on a release date. Population: 1 will be released when it's released. It will be unnecessarily large, but it will finally be in the form it should have been when I first wrote it. This blog – Well, I'd be lying if I said I was working hard on it. Truth be told, the blog has sadly taken a backburner to everything else going on in my life. I absolutely haven't given up on writing in it and have a few drafts I've been trying to whittle away at. I'll update when I can! Makeup??? – Having less time for writing has meant I've turned my creative endeavours in another direction and I've decided to use makeup as an outlet. If you're curious, take a mosey over to my Instagram account. I've been doing themes since I went back to work to keep things fresh on the weekends. It's been a lot of fun and I've learned a lot! Patreon – I've decided to start up a Patreon account in an attempt to help further my projects along. Anything I make–no matter how small–goes directly to my projects. Hilda Hobbletoes – This project was placed heavily on the backburner and is simmering as a future children's book. It's still being thought of, so I hope you can look forward to future updates. Amelia – Of course the reason for my being so busy is because I'm raising an intelligent, engaged little girl! She's always up to something. Lately she's started really talking and it seems like she has a new word every day! She's nearly 20 months old now–over a year and a half–and I'm not really sure where the time is going. A few weeks ago, I was invited...Read More
Now that I'm met with a little more free time before the little one arrives, I'm going to focus on some of my ongoing, current, in-the-works, and brand new projects! Without school in the way, I actually have time to work on them. Population: 1 I know this project has actually been complete for some time, but I've been in a slow process of re-purposing the project to something a little different. It was intended, originally, to be an interactive blog, but since I've discovered Twine and how to use it, I've learned that Population: 1 was meant for that platform all along! So, it is slowly being re-purposed to a game. If you want to check out the original blogs in the meantime, you may understand what I mean! Hilda Hobbletoes This is a project I'm really excited about! I've teamed up with local artist Lis Plante, who is doing some beautiful artwork, and we're slowly but surely crafting a world of gnomes, fantasy, and adventure. Our main character is a gnomish miner named Hilda Hobbletoes, and her adventure will also be on Twine. We're starting with one story for now, but we're going to see where that takes us, and perhaps move on from there. Short Story Challenge I might be crazy for doing this, but I signed up for a short story competition that will begin the week after my due date. My short stories have been pretty stagnant lately, though, so this will be a fun challenge. Plus, maybe being in the "sleep-deprived new mom" stage will make for some interesting, if a bit weird, short story ideas… A Couple of Dreamers I've been working on this novel for a couple of years now, and I hope to have the draft completed in the near future. It's a short novel, directed at kids around 12-14 years old. The novel went on the back burner while I focused on school this year, but I'm hoping to pick it back up and complete it before long. Retail Hell This one has been on the very back burner–more like under the broiler on low, if you will. I've had the concept of a retail-based webcomic in mind for nearly three years now, but being that I'm no artist, I haven't gone past the planning stages. I hope to change that eventually, but for now, I'm just gradually adding to the story as time goes on. Those are all of my current, large-scale projects. I'm really excited about all of them, but if I had to pick a favourite, it would likely be Hilda's story. It's exciting to be collaborating with other artists doing work I'm interested in, and Lis has been a pleasure to work with! Please follow and like...Read More

The 2015 J.M.K. Innovation Prize and Report
Launched in early 2015, The J.M.K. Innovation Prize was designed to seek out boldly promising ideas in the field of social sector innovation—however untested or wherever they arise. From a pool of more than one thousand applications from every corner of the country, we selected ten outstanding awardees who receive multi-year support for their visionary ideas.
Seeing those applications as a valuable source of information about the makeup and trends of the social innovation sector in the U.S., the Fund commissioned a study that distills seven key insights from the submissions received.
Download The J.M.K. Innovation Prize: Learning from America's Social Entrepreneurs.
Why an Innovation Prize?
Innovation is in The J.M. Kaplan Fund's DNA. From our inception more than 70 years ago as a New York–based family foundation, we have championed risky, early-stage endeavors focusing on longstanding subject areas of heritage conservation, social justice, and the built and natural environments.
We know there is a hunger for early-stage funding. Today, many outstanding ideas fail to find backing from established philanthropic sources. We sought to fill this gap, not only by providing capital to the social innovation field, but also by taking risks on projects that others may consider unfledged. In addition, we wanted to introduce social innovation funding into areas not typically served by the field—including historic preservation and environmental conservation—thereby bringing visionary thinking to realms that have long been a central focus of the Fund.
The Prize Process
We offered up to ten $175,000 awards to U.S.-based individuals or teams working with a non-profit organization or fiscal sponsor to address our country's most pressing needs through social-sector innovation. Each award consists of up to three years of support at $50,000 per year, plus $25,000 for technical assistance or project expenses. Just as important, winners benefit from the Fund's community of social innovation experts and fellow entrepreneurs as a peer-learning network.
The response was overwhelming: 1,138 applications from 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. We built a rigorous evaluation process, recruiting 373 volunteer reviewers from the Fund's network. Each application was scored by at least 6 reviewers, after which 202 entries were advanced to the second round. Fuller applications were read by subject matter and social innovation experts in disciplines including justice, education, human rights, food systems, energy, natural resources, and the arts. From a group of 15 finalists, we selected ten awardees we believe offer extraordinary potential.

Pulis previews
Tony Pulis spoke to West Brom's official YouTube account on Thursday ahead of the trip to West Ham on Saturday.
On the agenda included the win over Stoke last Saturday, the form of James Morrison and Nacer Chadli and the encounter with the Hammers, who sit below them in the table.
Testimonial talk
Chris Brunt has signed a new contract, initially until the summer of 2018 but with the potential of an additional year based on appearances.
Aside from representing Albion over the course of the next 18 months or more, there's also the matter of a testimonial that Brunt will be due.
To mark Brunt's new contract, we take a look at exactly why the Northern Irishman fully deserves a testimonial.
Allan explains
Allan Nyom has suggested that the Africa Cup of Nations will attract the top African players, if the tournament was moved to the summer.
Held every two years, the continental cup takes place in January, disrupting the seasons of players and their domestic clubs.
Nyom and Liverpool's Joel Matip decided against representing Cameroon after putting club before country - Nyom explained that he was worried about his losing place in the Albion side.
Deal deserved
Chris Brunt has signed a new contract which should tie him to West Bromwich Albion until the summer of 2019.
First and foremost, it's 110 per cent deserved.
I have always admired Brunt as a footballer - his technical ability is astonishing.
He must surely go down as one of the best (if not the best) left-sided players to don Albion stripes in the last 30 years.
Depleted Irons?
There will potentially be a big boost for West Brom at the London Stadium this weekend, with Slaven Bilic confirming that Andy Carroll, Aaron Cresswell and Cheikhou Kouyate have all missed training today.
Indeed, Carroll, who has been in excellent form of late, hasn't trained this week.
Andre Ayew is in contention after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, but Angelo Ogbonna is out and Sam Byram is a doubt too.
Strike targets
West Brom managed to shift Saido Berahino off the books in the January transfer window, for an initial fee of around £12m.
For a player who hadn't played since September and who didn't appear to be playing again any time soon, the sale of Berahino was received generally by the Albion fanbase as a positive piece of business.
With only Salomon Rondon and Hal Robson-Kanu left at Tony Pulis' disposal, a new attacking player at the end of the season will be a priority.
Here's a few names Pulis could consider.
Coming together
Ben Foster freely admits it's "coming together nicely" for West Bromwich Albion , but is keen to manage expectations.
Having opened up a gap to Stoke City, following last Saturday's 1-0 win at the Hawthorns, West Brom have the chance to distance themselves from another top ten rival this weekend.
A win at the London Stadium would move the Baggies eight points clear of West Ham, and with a far greater goal difference.
Whatever the result, Albion will finish the weekend eighth.
Bullet dodged?
With every passing week, West Bromwich Albion 's shock 11th hour decision to pull out of that deal to sign West Ham forward Diafra Sakho makes more and more sense.
Albion face the Hammers on Saturday, but, once again, Sakho will be nowhere in sight.
You might remember that last summer, a club-record £16 million fee and personal terms had been agreed, but rigorous medical tests exposed a flaw in Sakho's fitness.
It was determined by Albion's medical staff that Sakho's pre-exisiting back injury would prevent him from featuring until six weeks into the new season.
Team news
Tony Pulis could boast the rare luxury of having a full squad to select from this weekend.
Jonny Evans, who missed Saturday's 1-0 win over Stoke City, is thought to be the only concern for West Bromwich Albion .
But Evans is understood to be progressing nicely and should be in contention for a place among the squad at West Ham on Saturday.
The Northern Irishman has been out for over a month with a calf injury.

I am really starting to embrace this idea of gratitude and I am noticing how different I feel emotionally when I am staying in this space of being grateful for people, experiences, and the small stuff. Last week in my afterschool program, we facilitated a conversation about gratitude. The kids had just had an assembly about Veterans day and one of my students talked about what Veterans Day meant for her and her family since her dad is in the Army and had served in Iraq. It was very impressive that a 3rd grader could articulate Veterans day with such pride as well as talk about sacrifice. I was brought to tears.
I am so thankful to be in the space of tiny humans everyday. They teach me so much about life and how to treat others. They also remind me about super small things that I need to be grateful for.
...glue bottles that work
...hot soup for snack
...sharpened pencils
...reading a story at the end of a long day
...getting 15 minutes to play outside
When I provide these super small things for them, they light up. They enjoy them. They use them. At those moments, they are the only things that matter. It got me thinking in this 30 days of thanks project, the super small things I am grateful for and I came up with my top 10.
...hugs. anytime, anywhere.
...fresh, clean sheets.
...wool socks.
...hot drinks on cold days.
...good food.
...pens and notebooks.
...walks and time outside.
...sleeping in.
...conversations with family who live so far away.
...rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation.

Sometimes you walk into a place and you just know its going to be a home run. For me, that was Parc. It was recommended to us for a Saturday afternoon Brunch and I honestly could have stayed there all day right through dinner. It was surprisingly spacious for a brasserie and yet still had all the comforts you expect from a French restaurant. The staff was friendly and helpful and not once did we feel rushed. The menu was extensive and designed to be fun to mull over. Parc is unique in that it serves breakfast, lunch & dinner 7 days a week. Something traditionally found only at hotels and diners and not upscale city restaurants.
The drink menu was extensive and they have a barista on staff for specialty coffee drinks. I was inspired by the drink selection and started off with something different than my usual glass of champagne, although not too different! I opted for Kir Royal, one of my favorite champagne cocktails when it is made correctly and Parc did not disappoint. In fact, I had two!
We sat with out drinks and a basket of pastries that we had ordered and took our time chatting and looking over the rest of the menu. We choose fairly basic breakfast entrees and they were all very good and had just enough of a twist on it to make it interesting. For example, the scrambled eggs came scrambled with fresh parsley and the Quiche was served double the height of what I am use to seeing it. We finished our meal with tea & coffee and were sad to leave. I could have easily moved over to the expansive bar with the abundant beers on tap, including my favorite Hoegaarden, and sat there all afternoon watching the rain and the passers by walking on the sidewalk and in the park across the street.
Dining at Parc made me wish I lived in Philadelphia, or Paris! In a true nod to Philly, I have never had a bad meal in this city. It really is a foodie's city and does not get the recognition it deserves.

Whether we like it or not, the truth is that people are constantly judged by their outward appearance. Even people with the most noble of intentions can do it without fully realizing it, as it just seems to be part of being human. It is not totally surprising, because historically humans relied on appearance to determine the health of others. As society advanced we obviously have better ways of figuring things out, but that primal instinct is still there. Fortunately many parts of beauty are controllable, especially if you visit www.teamsalon.com.sg for all of your hair needs.
This website makes it very clear just how amazing the salon is and gives information about every aspect of their services. It includes some of their highlighted past clients, such as the Miss Singapore International beauty pageant. It should go without saying that if beauty contestants are happy with the service, they must be doing a pretty great job. No matter how picky you are or how bad you think your problems might be, this salon is a great way to turn things around. Whether you are looking for treatments or just basic maintenance, they are the best place to get it all done.
One highly appreciated fact is the way they list their prices right there on the website. This takes any mystery about costs out of the equation, making sure you can determine exactly which services are within your budget range. This is important because not everyone can afford to spend unlimited money on these kinds of services. Fortunately the salon does their best to keep the prices reasonable though, as it is pretty hard to find any competitors that are significantly cheaper. All in all, whether you are having problems or just want to make sure everything is perfect, this is a great option for hair.

NSCAD University student Violeta Izquierdo adds sugar and glitter to traditional silver jewelry.
"People in Halifax have no idea what's going on here," she says, tucked away in the brick-walled jewelry studio in the historic buildings of the labyrinthine Duke Street campus.
"They're always pushing you to get out of your comfort zone."
NSCAD University professor and longtime department head Pamela Ritchie, with professor Kye-Yeon Son, have shaped the college's jewelry design and metalsmithing department into a breeding ground for some of Canada's top jewelers.
Key to the program is a focus on the individual voice and not on a collective style.
"When a school has a particular look, it gets very famous for that but then everybody is pigeonholed," says Ritchie. "We want our students to find their own niche and one that can compete in such a highly competitive and post-disciplinary time.
"They get basic traditional goldsmithing skills and then they're asked to develop their own vocabulary and their style. That's one of the things that gives the department its strength."
NSCAD jewelry students need to be well-rounded, with a mind for scientific inquiry, an interest in ideas and an artistic vision.
Graduates, including Donna Hiebert, Lydia Buxton and Emily Gill, have won nine of the last 11 national student jewelry competitions sponsored by Ottawa's L.A. Pai Gallery. Every year, NSCAD students and alumni are finalists and winners in the Niche international craft awards. Mary Lynn Podiluk won both the L.A. Pai prize and the Niche professional category in 2012. Three of the five full-time faculty at George Brown University are NSCAD graduates.
"We have one foot in the iron age and one foot in the computer age," says Ritchie.
She went to England in 2000 to study computer-assisted design and discovered 3D printing.
"When I came back, I was determined to bring that to NSCAD. It took a while, but we now have a printer."
Computer technology won't end hand-crafting, though.
"It just broadens the possibilities.
"Jewelers have worked side by side with machines and hand processes for as far back as I remember. We have an old Industrial Revolution kick press, but we also have computer technology."
Ritchie, exhibiting in Worlds You Can Wear at the Mary E. Black Gallery, May 28 to July 12, has taught at NSCAD for 30 years and been department head for most of that time.
"It has changed a lot in size and in the number and types of courses. Everything is so much work to improve here because the college is not rich. Over the years we've added holloware (metal tableware). We have gemology. We offer workshop specialty courses in enamelling and right now in ceramics in jewelry. We have to keep upping the ante.
"Students, when they leave, go out with many different possibilities. Some will set up their own studios or work in a co-operative environment."
They can work for other studio or industrial jewelers, in galleries as curators and administrators or as dental technicians. "We've had a few scooped up by dental labs."
Izquierdo, originally from Colombia, was studying art history in Montreal when she decided she'd rather make art.
"My mom lives here so I knew about NSCAD."
She was immediately drawn to a jewelry class because "you get to play with fire and metal," she says.
"My mom is a big jewelry wearer but I never thought of it as a thing you could do until I was at NSCAD. I think most people assume jewelry's machine-made and that's what I thought."
Izquierdo likes to mix traditional metals with new materials like resin, sugar, glitter, glow-in-the-dark colour and crayons. "I'm all about colour. I want it to be a little bit over the top.
She will develop her own line. "I have to. This is something I'm passionate about and that I really enjoy doing."
Graduating student Aurelie Guillaume, a nominee for the 2015 Starfish awards, came to NSCAD in 2012 after finishing her three-year jewelry degree in Montreal. "I wanted to try new techniques, and I knew NSCAD offered more alternative materials and enamels."
"I could barely do a little square of enamelling before," says Guillaume, who learned enamelling from part-time instructor Lillian Yuen.
Enamelling is "just so magic as a process, with a little coloured glass powder and you fire it in a kiln and it's shiny and the colours are so bright and it has this vitrified surface.
"I really love illustration, and colour is very important to me."
Guilliaume's brooches and wall pieces are densely detailed, multi-coloured, narrative figures that are imaginary hybrids of humans and animals. "I like to draw things that transport me to a different world."
The artist, who has been a familiar figure selling Noggins produce at the Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market, has enjoyed her time at NSCAD.
"I got the techniques in my other school but, on the artistic side and self-development, I feel I grew up here. The teachers want to push the ideas and emphasize a coherent body of work. You go deeper in your subject.
"I'd like to continue to push this further. It's very challenging. I envision a big mural filled with these characters in a few years."
Shelbey Dodds of Erin, Ont., also loves the challenge of jewelry. Always interested in art, she came to NSCAD after an unsatisfactory year at OCAD Univeristy in Toronto.
"I didn't think the atmosphere was for me. A friend of mine whose mother was an art teacher suggested NSCAD.
"I'd never taken jewelry. I knew I could do a drawing and sew a garment. I didn't know if I could finish a ring. When I did it, it was a huge accomplishment and a challenge I hadn't experienced before."
Dodds, who wears one of her square rings, loves the fabrication process.
"You take a lot of time preparing a piece to be soldered. When you heat it, it all shifts. There's a lot of focus and tension, you're so close to it all the time. It's right in front of your face, you're looking at it all the time.
"We have an opportunity to really embrace conceptual jewelry making and conceptual thinking. We also have so many people around us that have great experience in the jewelry realm and can give a lot of technical advice and direction. It's the best of both worlds."
