As a pre-law student, it became apparent that justice was not necessarily synonymous with the rules :( With my right brain kickin' in, I hightailed it out and found myself behind the chair!
Upon completion of a rigorous apprenticeship under Vincent Narayan and Michael Harwell (those boys were tough!) I thought I would give hair a good 10 years and then 'write a book'. Sooo shortsighted… I navigated from a junior stylist position through a myriad of learning opportunities and senior promotions, which eventually led to a solo act.
Now celebrating my 27th (wow!) year as a successful, independent artist in one of the nation's most challenging markets, I find myself gearing up for many more days of painting and snipping.
As for the book.....maybe!
I am grateful to have collaborated with many clients in creating hairstyles they love. You can Click Here to read about a few of their experiences.

Social Psychology, Psychology of Self-Defense, and Perceived Intergroup Polarization
Faculty in Psychology and Brain Sciences Department
- Ph. D., Psychology, Stanford University
- B.A., Psychology, Cornell University, Ithaca
David Sherman received his BA in psychology from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. He received his Ph. D. in psychology from Stanford University, and completed a post-doctoral fellowship in Health Psychology at UCLA. Since 2005, he has been a faculty member in the Department of Psychological & Brain sciences at UCSB. His research, which is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, centers on how people respond to information and events that threaten the self.
David Sherman's research examines the role of the self in responding to threats and stressful events. In one line of research, he examines the psychology of self-defense, that is, why people often respond defensively to threats to the self, and how this defensiveness can be eliminated. In particular, he examines how self-affirmation can make people less defensive and more open to personally threatening events (e.g., negative health information), as well as group threatening events (e.g., the defeat of one's team).
A second line of research examines the phenomenon of perceived intergroup polarization, the tendency of individuals and partisans to accentuate the differences between their own and opposing groups. He examines how motivation impacts the process of polarization as well as the implications of polarization for negotiation and political attitudes.
A third line of research examines cultural differences in how people use social support in times of stress and the implications of these cultural differences for relationships, health, and well-being.

"Once alone, it is impossible to believe that one could ever have been otherwise. Loneliness is an absolute discovery."—Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping
For some, the idea of living alone may be incredibly unappealing—lonely, boring, isolated. For others, the idea of living alone may be a heavily romanticised thing—forever blasting terrible songs and singing along, never having to wear pants, not having to feel guilty or be hassled to clean the dishes and generally having complete control over your entire living space. I fall into the latter group, and this year I optimistically ventured into the world of living alone. My first three weeks of this new lifestyle, in what I dub my "Bachelor Sanitary Pad", has been a rich and sometimes unexpected learning experience.
On Adjustment
My only reservation about living alone was the prospect of ghosts, a worry that had afflicted me many times before when getting up to pee in the middle of the night. I feared that being completely alone would be conducive to psyching myself out constantly. I had been told by friends who had lived alone that this sort of paranoia, whether of ghosts or burglars, lasts only a few nights at most, and then is quickly forgotten. I consider myself easily scared, so I expected this period to last a bit longer.
However, on my first night sleeping alone, I went about my pre-bed routine completely paranoia-free, and quickly passed out in bed. Perhaps it was the excitement of this new mode of life or perhaps it was because I was really tired from an early morning flight, but I felt completely at ease on my way to slumber. Whatever the reason, this nighttime ease continues to last, and I seem to have avoided the "getting-used-to" period of living alone completely. (If any ghosts are reading this, please don't come here, this is not an invitation.)
On the Lack of Flatmates
While my previous flatting experiences are by no means the worst, they are definitely not the best. Like Abbi of Broad City, I had to deal with my own Bevers (i.e. my flatmate's rude, messy, freeloading boyfriend); then there was the heated Dining Table Placement War of the winter of 2014, and the Cold War-like period in 2013 when the kitchen rug would mysteriously appear and disappear several times over the course of a day. No longer having to deal with flat politics is perhaps one of the greatest reliefs of living alone. No more awkward confrontations, no more slow, bubbling, ever-increasing tensions over seemingly trivial things—the freedom is a surely beautiful feeling.
On the pragmatic side, one must quickly become versed in a variety of household skills upon the absence of flatmates. While in a flat there may be someone else who is especially good at dealing with spiders, another who is the broken appliance specialist, and the one who always chases you up to pay the power bill, with an apartment of one's own you have to fulfill all these roles yourself. This need not be daunting, but rather a chance to grow.
I like to think that I am doing quite well in this regard, especially in the role of DIY expert. As I was assembling my first piece of furniture on my own, I likened myself to Tim Allen on Home Improvement as I masterfully used a screwdriver to screwdrive in a screw, magically joining two planks of wood together. "I am truly a natural carpenter," I thought, with grand visions already appearing of all the other furniture I would not just assemble, but design and create myself. Everyone at Bunnings will know my name! When I finished my bookshelf and stood back and admired it, I even had three screws left over and I felt proud to have made it with even less material than provided. So resourceful, so efficient. Saving the world's resources. I am a home eco-warrier.
However, some things do remain unresolvable on your own—there is no one to help you open stubborn jars, or to wake you up if you sleep through your alarm, or to let you in if you lock yourself out. These are all scenarios that I do admittedly worry about. But perhaps the greatest critique on having no flatmates brings us to the next point: loneliness.
On Loneliness
The threat of loneliness is perhaps the biggest deterrent to living alone. But I have always enjoyed being home alone. From parents and siblings to flatmates, whenever they left me as the only one in the house, a calm would settle over me, the feeling of a kind of secret treat that I had all to myself. So the idea of living alone has always appealed to me as the idea of being home alone, forever, me-time, all the time. I guess I describe myself as an introvert, and find solitude peaceful more than isolating. Truth is, you probably already know where you stand, and if you think that you'd be lonely living alone, then you probably will be.
And of course, one can always go out and see people, or invite them over. However, a difference does arise from the lack of a constant presence of people—socialising has already become a less passive process, and more active and conscious. While this requires more work and advance planning, I believe it will ultimately be a good thing since I feel more appreciative of and dedicated to whomever I'm spending time with. Even when living with friends, it is still refreshing to get out of your house to go visit others. Now, every meeting holds that quality.
On Money
Along with the freedom of being your own interior designer comes the temptation of a hundred different shops offering a thousand different items. You could stroll along Cuba Street and buy a flamingo statue for $239 and stand it in your living room with no opposition whatsoever. As I called in my course related costs for the year, I could already see the email—"Hi there, I am applying to the hardship fund for the amount of $3 for a gluestick so that I can finish my assignment. While I qualify for course related costs, the entirety was understandably spent on a genuine Persian rug."
Worryingly, this is not as fantastical as it may seem. Last weekend I found myself gratuitously dipping into my savings in a suburban gardening center, forking out close to a hundred on houseplants. I fear that this is just the beginning. Curating and collecting a respectable home library, re-upholstering shabby Salvation Army furniture, spending triple digits on the perfect floor lamp, hiring a sculptor to carve a decorative marble bust of myself—these things have all suddenly become very desirable. It is almost definitely more reflective of myself than of living alone, but it's living alone that has led to my self-discovery of secretly wanting to become some sort of secretive debonair bachelor (or at least to own the associated material goods).
On Food
Even when flatting I have always cooked individually, so there hasn't been too much of a change. What living alone has brought to my attention is my reliance on others to know when to eat. When flatting, it was the smell of my flatmates' meals that would bring my attention to the hunger I was harvesting and I would quickly toddle off to the kitchen myself to cook something too. Now, my meals are incredibly irregular: sometimes I snack constantly instead of eating any real meals, other times I binge on a meal for a family of four at noon and render myself immobile for the rest of the day.
Furthermore, without visual or olfactory cues, there is also a lack of meal precedent. Before if I was hungry, and then smelt my flatmate cooking stroganoff, I'd likely crave and make a similar meal. Now, whatever is easiest and quickest is usually eaten. If you would like to eat like a responsible adult too, the diet consists mainly of cereal (I highly recommend Pam's Honey Snaps), ice-cream (try adding sweetened condensed coconut milk) and toast (also have this with sweetened condensed coconut milk—sweetened condensed coconut milk is great because it tastes even better than condensed milk but sounds healthy because it has the word "coconut" in it).
To further understand this diet, it is highly useful to investigate the fridge. In fact, the state of the fridge perhaps best exemplifies the quintessential bachelor(ette) lifestyle. Stray cans of beer and ham says "typical dudebro bachelor", whereas marmalade and cottage cheese says "I'm eighty years old". The current contents of my fridge consist of half a bottle of sparkling water, half a tray of tofu, half a grapefruit and half a chocolate bar. What this says about me is that I am very healthy and responsible. This is because leaving all your food half-eaten means that not only have you had a nutritious meal, but you are also being proactive by preparing something to eat later.
On Nudity
I truly and thoroughly enjoy domestic nudity. Whether this stems from the forbidden nature of such an act in the family home, a taboo perpetuated by prudish flatmates, or some other reason entirely, I cherish each and every moment of undress around the house. Cooking, cleaning, reading, eating, singing, dancing, looking for the keys—every activity no matter how mundane is suddenly elevated once clothes are shed. There is a freedom, a likely self-imposed sense of rebellion, but a sense of rebellion nonetheless, that elevates each action. In nudist daydreams I convince myself that I am a free and individual spirit in a sea of conforming, protestant prudes. Clothes are for the bourgeois. I am a political hero. Viva la revolution, until the Wellington winter demands otherwise.
On Cleanliness
During my flatting years I had observed in myself what I call the messy bedroom/clean lounge phenomena. My own bedroom would often fall into a state of complete squalor and clutter, while at the same time I could not even bear to leave a mug out in the lounge. It seemed to me that self-imposed guilt prevented my communal laziness, but in my private domain I need not feel bad for messing up anyone's space, since it was mine and mine alone.
Prior to moving in I had wondered if this tendency would spread across the whole flat now that I lived alone and, unsurprisingly, it has. This complex has stayed with me. The times when my apartment is the cleanest are the times right before I know someone is coming over, after I find myself quickly attempting to put on the disguise that I am a tidy, hygienic individual and you are visiting a tidy, hygienic apartment. Why I can only clean for others and not for myself makes me wonder what this says about me, and I wonder if this will change as I become further accustomed to living alone.
On the whole, my first few weeks of living alone have been a positive experience. I am happy that my preconceived belief that I would enjoy domestic solitude is proving to be true, even exceeding my expectations. While I do wonder if the novelties will wear off, if I'll be able to continue actively seeking social interaction, and if I'll become more responsible towards myself rather than others, my outlook for the rest of the year remains positive. Montaigne wrote that "the aim of solitude is to live more at leisure and at one's ease", and as long as I keep my bonsai collection under control, keep seeing friends and do the dishes every now and then, I do think that this ideal of solitude can be achieved by living alone.

Otolaryngologist in Dubai
Otolaryngologists are physicians trained in the medical and surgical management and treatment of patients with diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, throat (ENT), and related structures of the head and neck. They are commonly referred to as ENT physicians. Their special skills include diagnosing and managing diseases of the sinuses, larynx (voice box), oral cavity, and upper pharynx (mouth and throat), as well as structures of the neck and face. Otolaryngologists diagnose, treat, and manage specialty-specific disorders as well as many primary care problems in both children and adults.
Otolaryngologists treat the following:
• The Ears – The unique domain of otolaryngologists is the treatment of ear disorders. They are trained in both the medical and surgical treatment of hearing, ear infections, balance disorders, ear noise, nerve pain, and facial and cranial nerve disorders. Otolaryngologists also manage congenital (birth) disorders of the outer and inner ear.
• The Nose – Care of the nasal cavity and sinuses is one of the primary skills of otolaryngologists. Management of the nasal area includes allergies and sense of smell. Breathing through, and the appearance of, the nose are also part of otolaryngologists' expertise.
• The Throat – Communicating (speech and singing) and eating a meal all involve this vital area. Also specific to otolaryngologists is expertise in managing diseases of the larynx (voice box) and the upper aero-digestive tract or esophagus, including voice and swallowing disorders.
• The Head and Neck – In the head and neck area, otolaryngologists are trained to treat infectious diseases, both benign and malignant (cancerous) tumors, facial trauma, and deformities of the face. They perform both cosmetic plastic and reconstructive surgery.
ENT treatment will vary according to what type of problems or symptoms you are having. In the early stages of a disorder, surgical procedures may not be warranted, as in tonsillitis, for example. Early treatments will also depend on whether or not the disorder is related to an infection. If an infection is suspected, tests may be performed to determine whether the cause is bacterial or viral. Viral infections will not respond to antibiotics.
About Otolaryngology
Otolaryngology is a brand of medicine that specializes in the treatment and diagnoses of the disorder of the neck and the head. The complete name of the specialty is actually otorhinolaryngology, which includes the Greek words for nose, ear, and throat, which are exactly what these doctors specialize in. This is one of the most competitive specialties for doctors to be able to obtain a residency after medical school in the United States. These kinds of doctors have to have had completed at least five years of surgical residency. For their residency, they have to get one year of general surgical training and then four years in otolaryngology, which includes head, neck, and ear surgery. They can then choose to complete an advanced specialty in this area, and this training can last up to two more years.
So if you have a problem and need ear surgery, this is the kind of specialist that you will need to see. Because of their expertise, they will be able to quickly and accurately diagnose the problem and suggest the right line of treatment. Sometimes that treatment might only require medicine, but it could also mean that the person would be required to undergo ear surgery. This could specifically be needed to help a person hear better, but this kind of doctor might also look into severe and frequent infections or pain.

|Silly Putty: print's latest victim? (Steve Berry/Creative Commons License)
- Sadie Stein at The Paris Review laments some of the smaller things we could lose along with newspapers. "What will people use to clean up after their dogs?" she asks. "Where will they get rubber bands? Will "train-style" folding become a lost art? And what about Silly Putty?" It's the latter that she focuses on for this piece, remembering the retro plaything that picked up newsprint. (I had great fun using it on the comics pages, then stretching the faces into mutant shapes.)
- At Book Riot, Rita Meade has watched every single episode of The Golden Girls and noted the literary references. It's the sort of undertaking that defies logic, yet I'm glad someone did it. If you've ever wondered how often the ladies reference Shakespeare, now you'll know (it's more than you'd think). The citing of what's being referenced at the end of each entry sucks a little of the joy out of the list—especially because it's often obvious, and when it's not, it's neat to figure it out— but it's still a lot of fun.
- Can a book change a reader's life for the worse? In two well-written New York Times essays, Leslie Jamison and Francine Prose address the idea of books having a negative impact on someone's life.
- I don't cover a lot of children's books at Book Dirt, but my childhood self is thrilled that a lost Richard Scarry manuscript has just been published (by his son), and it concentrates on the best Scarry character ever: Lowly Worm. Any kid who cut his teeth on Scarry's picture books knows the worm, dressed in his weird sleeve of a suit and wearing one shoe. Picking him out of the heavily-illustrated pages was delightful. Details at NPR.
- Publishers Weekly has come up with a list of the top ten Patricia Highsmith books to coincide with the release of the film based on The Two Faces of January. Whether or not you agree with the ranking, it's nice to see some good Highsmith content (outside of the great stuff at Existential Ennui).

The former Prime Minister said it was not acceptable the companies had pushed through increases in bills which were twice the cost of wholesale gas and electricity.
Increases of up to 10 per cent meant some homeowners would be forced to choose between eating and turning on their heating this winter.
He also called for more help for a group which he called the "silent have-nots" and which he said was too often overlooked by politicians in Westminster saying he knew how they were feeling because "they were my neighbours. I grew up with them."
Sir John is in regular contact with David Cameron, the Prime Minister, and takes pains to support his successor in 10 Downing St and the Coalition Government.
The intervention on energy prices raised speculation that Sir John was floating a policy that could eventually be adopted by Mr Cameron.
However, Number 10 declined to endorse the tax plan, describing it only as an "interesting contribution" and insisting there are "no plans" for a levy on power firms.
In a speech to the Parliamentary Press Gallery, Sir John also said that:
- Iain Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions secretary, should listen "to a wide range of opinion" over his welfare reforms "because some of his critics will be right", adding: "If he listens only to the bean-counters and to cheerleaders concerned only with abuse of the system, then he will fail."
-The Conservatives would be helped politically if Scots vote next year to become independent from Britain, although it would be "very bad news" for the United Kingdom;
- The Government should revisit the issue of the constituency boundaries because they are "frankly an anti-democratic disgrace", saying that the Tories in the north and Labour in the south "have become fringe parties".
- He owed an apology to families of the Hillsborough disaster for ignoring calls when he was Prime Minister for an inquiry.
Many of the UK's biggest energy companies such as nPower and British Gas have recently unveiled inflation-busting increases in power bills.
Sir John's populist suggestion follows a pledge last month by Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, to pass a law freezing energy prices for two years.
Mr Cameron has rejected the Labour plan as "a con" and Conservative ministers say they will not offer "gimmicks" on energy prices, instead arguing that strong economy is the best way to raise living standards.
Sir John said that he felt Mr Miliband's heart was in the right place but that he had not thought through the effect of trying to cap bills.
Sir John said: "I do not regard it as acceptable that they [energy companies] have increased prices by this tremendous amount.
"Nor do I regard it as acceptable their explanation that they are investing for the future."
Sir John said the UK will "probably have a very cold winter and it is not acceptable … that many people are going to have choose between keeping warm and eating.."
Power companies should be taxed to pay for the cost of the extra benefits payments due to the cold snap.
He said: "I believe there will be difficulties this winter without action and if there are those difficulties the Chancellor will have my total support if he acted in the way.
"I suggest he impose an emergency [tax] on the energy companies to claw back the money that we will have to give to people to see the winter in any form of warmth."
Sir John said the scale of the increases of up to 10 per cent were simply not acceptable because they were twice as high as the rise in the companies' wholesale energy costs.
He questioned why power firms could not use the present low interest rates to borrow more money from banks to pay for investment.
Sir John said that "with interest rates at their present level it is not beyond the wit of man" for companies to borrow to pay for investment.
Sir John also addressed the pressures on costs of living for many people, particularly those who rely on income from their savings, describing it as "lace curtain poverty".
He said: "Low interest rates are unavoidable, essential for economic recovery, but they crucify the prudent long term saver.
"For many elderly people now in retirement the financial crisis has destroyed security of mind as well as the value of savings."
He called for more help for a group which he called the "silent have-nots" and which he said was too often overlooked by politicians in Westminster.
He said: "There are too many people falling behind through no fault of their own. "They are not high fliers, not financially secure. They are the dignified poor or near poor and to the shame of politicians and I include myself in this, there are still millions and millions of them."
Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, claimed that Sir John was now supporting his ideas. He wrote on Twitter, the social network: "Sir John Major makes Labour's argument: David Cameron stands up for the energy companies not hard-pressed families."
The news came as Ofgem, the industry regulator, brought in new rules to ban energy firms from hiking prices for customers on fixed tariff deals.
Providers will be prevented from automatically rolling customers on to another fixed term contract when their current one ends, which can tie them in with hefty fees and prevent them from comparing the market.
A spokesman for Energy UK, which represents energy companies, said Sir John's comments were an "an important contribution to the debate", insisting: "No one should be afraid to put the heating on this winter.
"If customers are worried they should get in touch with their energy supplier and they should be able to help.
"The energy industry is doing an increasing amount to help vulnerable customers and we will be looking at what more can be done to help people worried about their bills."
Three of the Big Six energy firms have announced price rises in recent weeks - 8.2 per cent by SSE, 10.4 per cent for electricity and 8.4 per cent for gas by British Gas, and 9.3 per cent and 11.1 per cent respectively by npower.
Their bosses, together with representatives from smaller companies, have been called to give evidence to the Energy and Climate Change select committee in Parliament on October 29

For those of you with kids...any suggestions for convincing your kid that eating is fun?
2 comments:
Succumb to what they like for a while and then try again eventually. Also, Evelyn has started eating raw vegetables and stuff now that she's in school and they have a garden. Peer pressure is awesome. But mostly, just keep trying.ReplyDelete
I would agree wtih Shawna. Just keep offering and try to get her involved as much as possible. Know that she won't be a teenager only eating beans, cheese and avacado. At least with my kiddos - they go through phases. They'll be all about a couple types of foods and will eat practically nothing else...then they'll get sick of that and move on to something else. Just keep offering the different foods. However, something that I have done from the start is vow NOT to be a short order cook. The family eats what I make. Now, I try to incorporate foods that they enjoy (or whatever phase they're currently in) but I will not make something for me and Darrin, and something different for the kids (or each of the kids). This means that sometimes, Rylee refuses to eat what I make and she goes hungry (Jake's a tank and normally eats whatever I put out in front of him...). That's okay -- it's her choice to not eat and unforunately, she'll have to learn the hard way that when she doesn't eat, she'll feel the pains of hunger. But, She won't starve herself. I put out healthy snacks throughout the day, so she can graze. This is a good way that I can introduce her to different foods without it being so formal like mealtime. Overall, try to remember that every kid goes through phases and as long as you just continue to offer a variety of foods, I'm sure she'll expand her cullinary tastebuds soon! :) Good luck!ReplyDelete

Facilitating psychological support for Family Law Court clients: The Mental Health Support Program
By Clare Witnish and Catherine Caruana
Services working with families involved in family law litigation may be interested to learn more about court protocols relating to the management of client mental health problems. The courts' Mental Health Support Program also provides a potential template for services wishing to improve both their support of distressed clients and their partnerships with organisations available to assist them. The following article provides an overview of the strategy as it applies in the Family Law Courts,1 including insights from one of the architects of the strategy, Justice Le Poer Trench2 of the Family Court of Australia.
Involvement in family law litigation can be an extremely stressful experience at the best of times, but particularly so for those clients struggling with issues such as mental illness, the emotional fallout from family breakdown and the personal issues often implicated in that breakdown (Rodgers, Smyth, & Robinson, 2004). This can make the navigation of court processes problematic. While the courts do not have a direct role in providing mental health services to court users, they recognise their responsibility to ensure that court staff are equipped to deal sensitively with affected clients and to refer them to appropriate services (Attorney-General's Department [AGD], 2009). When developing the Integrated Service Delivery Program, the courts consulted with experts in areas such as mental health, communication and client service delivery, as well as drawing on the insights of their staff, to develop ways of better supporting clients through the challenges of separation and litigation.
The Family Court of Australia developed the Mental Health Support Program with funding from the Department of Health and Ageing, under the National Suicide Prevention Strategy. The program aims, as set out in the final report (AGD, 2009, pp.6-7), are:
- to provide clients with access to the resources, counselling, and support they need to look after their mental health and overall wellbeing (these are services that are not available in the courts);
- to ensure clients, particularly those who may be mentally ill or distressed, are treated with respect and without judgement by staff; and
- to ensure clients receive services tailored to their particular needs, with particular attention paid to the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse clients and clients with fears for their safety.
The program was first piloted in the Adelaide and Northern Territory registries of the Family Court from 2005 to 2006 and, following an evaluation, rolled out nationally in all registries of the Family Law Courts in early 2007. It forms part of the Integrated Client Service Delivery Program, which, according to the Chief Justice of the Family Court of Australia, "aims to ensure that best practice, client-focused principles are incorporated into the courts' service delivery" (AGD, 2009, p. 1).
The program
The development of the Mental Health Support Program was informed by the Living is For Everyone (LiFE)3 framework, which stipulates that suicide prevention initiatives must be outcome focused, evidence-based and include expert involvement. The program has four key elements:
- Referral
- Court clients who appear to be affected by mental health problems are linked directly to existing community-based counselling services. This can be done by "warm-linking"4 or by other means that ensure the contact is made.
- Statements of Understanding have been developed between the courts and mental health support providers.5 These agreements help clarify the roles and responsibilities of each party and to identify the operational mechanisms and infrastructure needed to support the arrangements.
- Self-help brochures for clients containing information on available services are freely available at the courts.
- Protocols
- The program has clear guidelines for staff when dealing with clients presenting with a broad range of mental health problems ranging from stress to behaviour indicating threat of harm to self or others.
- There are distinct protocols relating to different perceived levels of risk:
- preventative referrals, to guide staff though dealing with all new clients;
- responsive referrals, when dealing with clients demonstrating a mental health need; and
- emergency procedures, when there is an immediate concern.
- The program protocols are:
- limited to one page;
- contain a series of steps;
- are colour coded for easy identification;
- include tips and suggested scripts; and
- explain the purpose of each step.
- Copies of all protocols are available on the resources CD attached to the final report (AGD, 2009), which is available from the Family Law Courts (see details below for obtaining a copy of the report).
- Staff skilling and support
- Ongoing training, targeted to each specific staff group within the courts, from administrative personnel to judicial officers, is delivered by a court trainer in conjunction with a mental health expert. These sessions provide education about mental health problems, and aim to de-stigmatise mental illness and equip staff to identify those who may require support.
- A number of strategies have been put in place to reinforce and support the use of these new skills by staff. These include a Peer-to-Peer Support Program to assist staff after a difficult interaction with a client.
- Copies of actual training materials used, including six training scenarios and a detailed overview of the courts' training program are also included in the CD attached to the Attorney-General's (2009) final report.
- Evaluation
- The independent evaluation of the program, which included client surveys and staff focus groups, informs a process of continuous improvement.
Following independent evaluations on previously determined performance measurements, the pilot program (see Family Court of Australia, 2006) and the national roll out of the final program were found to have resulted in positive outcomes, for both clients and staff. This included some unanticipated benefits. The program was found to be successful in developing relationships between local court registry staff and mental health services. This in turn helped community agencies to be more familiar with court processes, insights they could then pass on to their clients. There was general support amongst referral bodies for the warm-referral process as a strategy to prevent those in need falling between the cracks.
Across all court locations, staff reported greater confidence dealing with difficult situations and clients and in making appropriate referrals. They reported a 90% rating of confidence in their ability to empathise with clients (AGD, 2009), and appreciated the opportunity to offer clients concrete assistance, rather than send them away with a brochure. This has not only led to improvements in client perception of the courts and their services, but has also helped to reduce staff anxiety in responding to clients with mental health problems. Just as clients were being treated with more compassion, managers reported greater understanding amongst staff for colleagues dealing with personal issues.
The training of staff was successful in all areas, but most particularly in the area of increased knowledge, and the retention of that knowledge (such as safety and emergency protocols) over time (AGD, 2009). In an interview regarding the program, Justice Le Poer Trench commented that training was a far more effective tool to increase staff knowledge as compared to staff accessing such knowledge via a website. He has found the regular training for judges at Judge's Conferences to be extremely useful, for example, a session on the manifestation of mental illness and the likely impact of particular judicial styles on such clients.
Clients have also reported benefits from the program, with 91% of those surveyed indicating they were satisfied with the service they received (AGD, 2009). Information provision lead to clients being better prepared for the court environment, which in turn reduced client stress. For those referred to external agencies for counselling, 81% indicated they were satisfied with these agencies (AGD, 2009).
National roll out of the program
There were few changes to the program for the national roll out in 2007, funded by the Department of Health and Ageing, apart from the fine-tuning of the protocols and tailoring of the training program to more specifically address the needs of particular staff groups. Since the program became a permanent feature of the Family Law Courts' client service delivery, the majority of court staff at registries around Australia (excluding Western Australia) have undergone training. Over 100,000 self-help brochures have been distributed to clients. A set of mental health messages for clients has also been included in a range of relevant court brochures. In addition, a key mental health message was included in the style manual, which guides the development of all court documentation. The program has received two awards - a 2007 LiFE Award in the public sector category, and a silver award in the 2008 Australia and New Zealand Mental Health Service Achievement Awards which promote innovation and excellence in the mental health field.
The Mental Health Support Program of the Family Law Courts is a unique forensic initiative in Australia. This program, viewed in conjunction with the less adversarial trial process, which is now standard procedure in parenting matters in the Family Court of Australia, appears to be helping to humanise the often stressful and alienating experience of litigation in family law disputes. The success of the Family Law Courts in taking the emotional wellbeing of its clients and its staff seriously, and developing enduring relationships with mental health practitioners, is a model that may well be transferable to other agencies and services.

- Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos just finalized the terms of his divorce with MacKenzie Bezos. The two announced in January they had filed for divorce after 25 years of marriage.
- MacKenzie Bezos said she gave her ex-husband 75% of their joint Amazon stock, as well as voting rights over the shares she will retain.
- Jeff Bezos co-founded Amazon in 1995. The company has since grown to one of the most valuable, powerful companies on the planet.

Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon, announced the terms of his divorce with wife MacKenzie Bezos has finalized.
The two said they had "finished the process of dissolving" their marriage in separate Twitter statements on Thursday. MacKenzie said she will grant Jeff Bezos 75% of their co-owned Amazon stock, as well as voting rights over the shares she kept.
MacKenzie Bezos' remaining stake in Amazon makes her one of the richest women in the world, according to Forbes data. Though MacKenzie's shares total more than $35 billion, Jeff Bezos remains the world's richest person.

Bezos announced that he and his wife of 25 years were divorcing in January 2019. Last year, Bezos hit a milestone after his net worth hit $150 billion — making him the richest person in modern history, as Bloomberg put it. His net worth is now about $110 billion, according to Forbes.
Late last year, Amazon briefly became the second US company after Apple to achieve a valuation of more than $1 trillion (though its market cap has since sunk under that threshold).
That success hasn't come overnight, however. Bezos began his career in the hedge fund world in the 90s, then left a cushy job to launch his own startup.
Here's how Bezos got his start, and built one of the largest tech companies in the world.
Jeff Bezos' mom, Jackie, was a teenager when she had him in January 1964. She had recently married Cuban immigrant Mike Bezos, who adopted Jeff. Jeff didn't learn that Mike wasn't his real father until he was 10, but says he was more fazed about learning he needed to get glasses than he was about the news.

When Bezos was 4, his mother told his biological father, who previously had worked as a circus performer, to stay out of their lives. When Brad Stone interviewed Bezos' biological father for Stone's book "The Everything Store," Bezos' dad had no idea who his son had become.

Bezos showed signs of brilliance from an early age. When he was a toddler, he took apart his crib with a screwdriver because he wanted to sleep in a real bed.

From ages 4 to 16, Bezos spent summers on his grandparents' ranch in Texas, doing things like repairing windmills and castrating bulls.

His grandfather, Preston Gise, was a huge inspiration for Bezos and helped kindle his passion for intellectual pursuits. At a commencement address in 2010, Bezos said Gise taught him "it's harder to be kind than clever."

Bezos fell in love with reruns of the original "Star Trek" and became a fan of later versions too. Early on, he considered naming Amazon MakeItSo.com, a reference to a line from Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

In school, Bezos told teachers "the future of mankind is not on this planet." As a kid, he wanted to be a space entrepreneur. Now he owns a space-exploration company called Blue Origin.

After spending a miserable summer working at McDonald's as a teen, Bezos, together with his girlfriend, started the Dream Institute, a 10-day summer camp for kids. They charged $600 a kid and managed to sign up six students. The "Lord of the Rings" series made the required reading list.

Bezos eventually went to college at Princeton and majored in computer science. Upon graduation, he turned down job offers from Intel and Bell Labs to join a startup called Fitel.

After he quit Fitel, Bezos considered partnering with Halsey Minor — who would later found CNET — to launch a startup that would deliver news by fax.

Instead, he got a job at the hedge fund D.E. Shaw. He became a senior vice president after only four years.

Meanwhile, Bezos was taking ballroom dancing classes as part of a scheme to increase his "women flow." Just as Wall Streeters have a process for increasing their "deal flow," Bezos thought analytically about meeting women.
Source: The Everything Store
He married MacKenzie Tuttle, a D.E. Shaw research associate, in 1993. She's now a novelist. The couple has four kids together.
Source: The Everything Store
In 1994, Bezos read that the web had grown 2,300% in one year. This number astounded him, and he decided he needed to find some way to take advantage of its rapid growth. He made a list of 20 possible products to sell online and decided books were the best option.
Source: The Everything Store
Bezos decided to leave D.E. Shaw even though he had a great job.
"When you are in the thick of things, you can get confused by small stuff," he said later. "I knew when I was 80 that I would never, for example, think about why I walked away from my 1994 Wall Street bonus right in the middle of the year at the worst possible time. That kind of thing just isn't something you worry about when you're 80 years old. At the same time, I knew that I might sincerely regret not having participated in this thing called the Internet that I thought was going to be a revolutionizing event. When I thought about it that way … it was incredibly easy to make the decision."
His boss at the firm, David E. Shaw, tried to persuade Bezos to stay. But Bezos was already determined to start his own company. He felt he'd rather try and fail at a startup than never try at all.

And so Amazon was born. MacKenzie and Jeff flew to Texas to borrow a car from his father, and then they drove to Seattle. Bezos was making revenue projections in the passenger seat the whole way, though the couple did stop to watch the sunrise at the Grand Canyon.

Bezos started Amazon.com in a garage with a potbelly stove. He held most of his meetings at the neighborhood Barnes & Noble.

In the early days, a bell would ring in the office every time someone made a purchase, and everyone would gather around to see whether anyone knew the customer. It took only a few weeks before it was ringing so often they had to make it stop.

In the first month of its launch, Amazon sold books to people in all 50 states and in 45 different countries. And it continued to grow. Amazon went public on May 15, 1997.

When the dot-com crash came, analysts called the company "Amazon.bomb." But it weathered the storm and ended up being one of the few startups that wasn't wiped out by the dot-com bust.
In the early days, Bezos was a demanding boss and could explode at employees. Rumor has it he hired a leadership coach to help him tone it down.
Here are some of the strategies Bezos used in building his Amazon empire.
Bezos is known for banning PowerPoint presentations at Amazon. Instead, he requires his staff to turn in papers of a specific length on their proposals to encourage critical thinking over simplistic bullet points.

Bezos is also known for creating a frugal company culture that doesn't offer perks like free food or massages.
What does Bezos do with all his money? In 2012, he donated $2.5 million to defend gay marriage in Washington.

Bezos has also donated $42 million and part of his land in Texas to the construction of The Clock Of The Long Now, an underground timepiece designed to work for 10,000 years.

Bezos' interest in flying has gotten him into trouble in the past. In 2003, Bezos almost died in a helicopter crash in Texas while scouting a site for a test-launch facility for Blue Origin.

But in early 2016, he flew his personal jet to Germany to pick up and bring home the Washington Post reporter who had been detained by Iran.

Bezos is said to own a 5.35-acre estate on Seattle's Lake Washington that includes 200 yards of shoreline.

He also bought a seven-bedroom, $24.5 million mansion in Beverly Hills in 2007. There's a greenhouse, tennis court, pool, and guest house on the property, and it neighbors Tom Cruise's estate.

In January 2017, Bezos bought the Textile Museum, a pair of mansions in Washington, D.C.'s Kalorama neighborhood. The property sold for $23 million and is the largest in Washington. He's currently spending $12 million to renovate the place.

Now, more than 20 years after going public, Amazon has a market cap of over $900 billion. Barclays predicted Amazon could be the first trillion-dollar company.

In August 2017, Amazon officially acquired Whole Foods for $13.7 billion. Almost a year later, the changes to the popular grocery store are visible: Customers who are Amazon Prime subscribers can get 10% of sale prices, and you'll see some Amazon branded items offered, including tech products like the popular Amazon Echo line.
In July 2017, Bezos became the world's richest person for the first time, surpassing Microsoft founder Bill Gates. At the time, his net worth was more than $90 billion. While Gates reclaimed his top spot shortly after, Bezos became No. 1 again after Amazon released its Q3 2017 earnings in late October. Now, he's holding steady as the richest person in modern history.

Despite his high net worth, Bezos doesn't actually take home a high salary, comparatively speaking. His annual salary comes out to $81,840, according to Bloomberg.
Much of Bezos' wealth comes not from his salary but from the Amazon shares he owns. Bezos currently holds 78,893,033 shares in Amazon, accounting for a 16.3% ownership stake.

The two announced they had finalized the term of their divorce on Twitter in April 2019. MacKenzie will retain more than $35 billion in Amazon stock, making her one of the world's richest women.

High School Productions
HIgh School Productions allow schools to interact with the community. Technology now allows these productions to be streamed on the internet
High school productions are a staple part of every schools output within the academic year. More often or not the productions take the shape of popular musicals such as grease, fame and hairspray. Over recent years trends are arising where these events are streamed or published over the internet. In many cases schools with media departments are making their own recordings. Films such as High School Musical by Disney and Nativity are capturing people's imagination about high school productions and what benefits can come from public campaigns on the internet. Most schools now have their own websites. These websites provide an ideal platform for the broadcasting of these events.

I don't know if you notice or not, it JUST me, or I never reviewed any blush on my blog? Anyone? O.o
Everybody said that I am huge fan of lipstick. And YES! I admit it. You know, that candy in tube is truly gorgeous. I mean, they're so seductive. Hahaha. But, there are few people who know that I adore blush too. I love blush with peachy, slightly pink, bright reds, or even brown undertone. And I am still in the journey to collect them, from any brand, as long as it's matching with my skin tone.
FYI, I have tanned skin, I mean tanned, with yellow undertone. Seriously. My Surabaya Blogger fellas must be known of this. They already meet me in person. Some of them often hang out with me *ehem* like Olin. I never try to lighten my skin like crazy since my boyfriend loves my skin tone, he never asked me to lighten my skin, too. He loves my dark skin and my signature-narrow-mono-lid-eyes in the same way. Hahahaha. I never get what he thinks about my appearance for sure.
With this tanned skin, I have to find my right blush so I don't made any bad decision or I will turn my face into dirty mud. Haha. I'll go with peachy blush, or slightly bronze color. Hot pink and orange is okay, bright red is muuuuuch better, but no for any coral and purple-based-pink since they made my face look dull.
So, a few months ago, I bought three blushes. From MAKE OVER, I bet you know this brand, especially for Indonesia residence. Today I'll review one of them. It called Perfect Shade Blush in number 03 Promiscious Peach. And FYI, I got it for 75.000 rupiahs only!! What a great deal.
Product Description (From Web)
Radiate your inner beauty with a little bit help from this single blush on. Lightweight, silky smooth, and long lasting. Choose the color vibe, blush your check and create natural healthy look. Works on all skin type.
It has black glossy packaging with Make Over logo printed on it. It made from plastic but still looks sturdy. It's a bit bulky for me. The most important thing is the square packaging which I LOVE SO MUCH! I have a disorder that made me hate any imperfect shape, I mean, if it square, it must a perfect square, with sharp angle, not round angle. I don't like it. My friend said that I have OCD, what so ever.
When I open it, it comes with big mirror, and a so-so brush. I never use it since it's hard to blend the product with that kind of brush. I wish it come with full pan of the product without any brush :/
Promiscious Peach looks like mauve pink on pan. I almost can't see any orange tone in it. Then I wonder why it called as Promiscious Peach -__- BUT when I swatch it, It has bright orange tone in it which I love! It makes my face look fresher and this color truly pull my complexion, perfectly!
It has buttery and nice texture. It blends well on my skin. Too bad, it can be powdery if you swipe it too hard with your brush. See those powder???? It's annoying sometimes -__-
About the pigmentation, it has a great pigmentation, I mean, if you have fairer skin than me, you better use light handed when you apply this blush, since it can be too much if you don't swipe it carefully. But for me, I can dab it as much as I can, since it's buildable on my skin. And, the best part of this blush is, it won't fade away when your skin get oilier, it's like sticking on my cheek, blending with my skin and give me the natural glow. Gyaaaa, uber love!!!
What I love :
Great pigmentation
Nice color
Great packaging (for my preference)
Easily blend
Buttery texture
What I hate :
The brush -___-
It can be powdery if I swipe it too harsh
Final Verdict
This blush is great for me, it's affordable but it has great color payoff! Not easily smudge and stand on my cheek perfectly. You may like it if you want to find cheaper alternative for great blush on, but you may don't like it if you have big trouble with the powdery issue ;)
Hope this review helps you
See you *kiss*

Rosehips are a fruit rich in vitamin C and make great flavoring in jams, jellies and sauces, but they also make fantastic potpourri. Scented rosehips can get expensive though, and it is much easier and less expensive to scent them yourself. Enjoy the fresh smell they can scent your home with, throughout the entire year, and refresh the smell yourself anytime they might need a touch-up.
Pick rosehips. You want to pick as many as you think you need for the next year, until the roses bloom and go to seed again. If you feel ambitious and want to make tea, jelly or other recipes as well, you probably want quite a few.
Spread one pound of rosehips on newspaper and let them dry in the sun for two to three days. If the weather is not cooperative, you can also dry them in a dehydrator or the oven.
Pour the dried rosehips into a glass container and add thirty to thirty five drops of an essential oil, or you can use a fragrance oil. Place the lid on it tightly and shake the bowl once every day for the next week.
Remove the lid and spread the dried, scented rosehips into potpourri, or use them as potpourri by themselves.
- Depending on humidity, quality and amount, it can take several hours in the dehydrator.
- If you dehydrate them in the oven, spread them in one layer on a tray and dry them 18 to 24 hours at 110 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring them once in a while.
- Try making some rosehip tea with any unused dried rosehips.
- Try making jam with the rosehips you did not dry.

On the Special page is where limited or rare items are found to purchase. But the cost is going to be high. Horseshoes are the currency used and they have to be either earned by leveling-up or actually purchased via credit card. To buy more horseshoes select the blue Add Horseshoes button at the top of the Market menu. By selecting the Crops button you can choose which crops you would like to plant. The current options are: clover, tomatoes, pumpkin, potatoes, wheat, cotton, flax, corn, peas, peanuts, sunflowers, and eggplant. An effective way to level-up often is to plant crops regularly and maintain a constant crop rotation. Under the Trees tab are the fruit trees available for purchase. The present options include: cherry, apple, pear, peach, and apricot. You may also purchase a fully grown pine or oak tree for horseshoes or immature ones for 350 coins. You are probably thinking "why buy trees that grow automatically?" The answer is that you have to have trees to grow trees. If you have over-cleared your land no trees will grow. Or if a neighbor has chopped down a tree that you particularly liked you may purchase a replacement (this has happened to me). You may also earn these trees by completing certain collections or receive them as gifts from neighbors. Buy your animals under the animal tab. The current choices are: chicken, goat, sheep, pig, cow, ox, mule, horse, and goose. Again, all of these animals are also awarded by completing certain collections and may be received as gifts from neighbors. Under the Buildings tab you can purchase… you guessed it, buildings. And that word is as it implies. All buildings must be built. There is a challenge in each structure. You must use your energy to pound away on the building, the number of whacks depends on the kind of building. Once you are done building you must collect an assortment of tools. The tools range from hand drills and bricks to paint and hammers, etc. All of these tools must be purchased or gifted… they are never awarded. This makes completing the buildings a little difficult because you must have your neighbors participation. I recommend sending daily requests and swindle deals if necessary! The current building options are: cabin, general store, barn, school house, inn, covered wagon, chicken coop, and sawmill. *Tip – As you level-up there will be building challenges and sometimes even several of the same building. If you have already completed a building before the challenge has been set you will have to purchase another one and do it again. I recommend waiting for the game to prompt you so that you don't have to go through a building challenge without getting a bonus. * Tip- Keep a nice stockpile of tools. You will always need them in a building challenge and some building require a lot. On the Decorations page you can purchase an assortment of items to spruce up your homestead. Most of the items cost coins or logs but the best ones, of course, cost horseshoes. Many of these choices are really fun so save up your horseshoes and plan ahead. It wouldn't be a real homestead without an outhouse! Energy! Ah, a must have. Click on the energy tab to purchase your lightning in a meal. A whole guide can be written about the best ways to gain and spend your energy. But alas, I only have a few tips for you in this guide. See below for an energy breakdown and a few tips to help you get the most out of your fuel. My Stuff Reach into your Gifts box to view what has just come in. Don't worry, if you were expecting to find something and it's not there it has probably been moved into your Inventory. The Inventory is where all your gifts, bonuses, and unused decorations can be found, gifted and used. You can also add to your wish list of an item you already have by clicking on the green plus sign (+) right next to it. Send your wish list to your wall by selecting the Share button. There are so many Collections there are too many to list. These collections can be really fun but some are harder to complete than others. For example the groundhog collection. When the groundhog pest arrives he must be beaten into submission. This takes several whacks but when he's good 'n gone the award is usually coins and experience. Occasionally however, you will also find a random treat. Once all the treats are collected and the reward is traded in you will receive four extra energy. I've been working on the groundhog collection for months and I still haven't found the pumpkin rind. If this happens to you with any collection, just add the item to your wish list by selecting the green ( + ) sign and beg your neighbors to share from their bounty. *Tip – By the way, it's not necessary to clobber pests. If they are in the way of your work just use the Move tool to pick up the crop or animal you want to harvest and move it away from the pests red zone. This comes in handy when you first start playing and you have a great deal to accomplish with very little energy. I have heard of players being able to move the pest to a new location but have never been able to do this myself. *Tip – Most neighbors can be lured into giving you a much needed item if a trade is on the table. Gifting Everyone loves to give gifts. Whether it's a fun and decorative knick knack or something useful it is always a pleasure to give. Practice the art of gift giving daily in FrontierVille! In fact, your neighbor is relying on you to provide certain gifts to help them progress through the game. While your screen is minimized you can go to the Free Gifts tab to give one gift to each friend each day. The current options include items such as energy in a meal, building materials, fruit trees, livestock, decorations, and even occasional items to help people with a challenge. * Tip- you may also send from your own abundance at your Inventory screen. Select the present icon next to an item you would like to send and select which neighbor will be the lucky recipient. The Ink Pen and Spitball are examples of challenge items that can be gifted from the Free Gifts tab. Wish List Gifting Another way to bless your neighbor is to give them an item on their Wish List from your personal inventory. You are not limited in giving away these items if you have them. There are a few ways to give according to a Wish List. 1. Move curser over neighbors avatar at the bottom of your screen. Their Wish List will pop out. If you have the item a SEND GIFT button appears under it. Select the SEND GIFT button and a menu prompts you to choose how many of the item you would like to send. 2. While checking your News Feed you may see a Wish List posting from a neighbor. Select the Send Items link at the bottom of the request to see if you have any of the items to send. This will redirect you to the My Neighbors tab in FrontierVille which is located on a the top of the screen while the game is minimized. If you go to the My Neighbors tab through this route the only options visible will be that specific neighbors Wish List as seen below. 3. You may also go directly to the My Neighbors tab while your game is minimized to view all of your neighbors Wish Lists at once. *Tip – Be careful when gifting from your personal inventory. You may need those items for an up-coming challenge. Keep your generosity to a minimum because some of these items are really hard to get your hands on. Neighbors In our privileged time our requests to our neighbors (if we even know them) may be to borrow a cup of sugar, or an egg or two. Maybe you've gone out of town and asked your neighbor to keep an eye on the place. FrontierVille is so much more interactive than our real life relationships with our neighbors. In this game you rely on your neighbors not only to help out on your homestead, but for much needed items to make it through the game. There are specific items that are only attainable when gifted from friends and there are also items locked until you reach a particular number of friends. So make sure you find a good bunch and help each other out regularly. Since this game is relatively new there aren't very many groups on Facebook dedicated to increasing your neighbors list. But the numbers are growing every day. I found FrontierVille Friends group to be very helpful in expanding my neighbor list. To find group add on pages: 1. Type "FrontierVille Add" into the Facebook search bar. 2. Choose a group with a large amount of members. 3. "Like" the page. 4. Post a message on wall. "FrontierVille daily player, please add me." or… 5. Start selecting group members and "friend" them with "FrontierVille" in the message. 6. Once you have made the new friends, make sure to Invite them to be your neighbor on the Invite tab. *Tip – Keep your Facebook Friends organized by categorizing them. If you want to avoid communicating game questions on your wall you can send an Inbox Message just to your FrontierVille Neighbors. Creating Facebook Friends Lists 1. Select Friends on the left side of your screen while viewing your Facebook wall. 2. Choose Create a List at the top of the screen. 3. Name the list and click the friends to be added. ENERGY Energy is your most valuable resource! And as I said before a whole guide could be written on energy strategy. Early in the game it can be frustrating trying to accomplish anything with such a limited amount of energy. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your energy. Hire Neighbors Your land is overgrown with grass, wildflowers, trees and cactus and you must clear this land to make progress. If you are short on time and patience you can still get work done. Hire a neighbor to harvest or clear. *Tip- Remember you are limited to hiring 2 neighbors each day, so wait until all your own resources are exhausted to use this feature. Meals Food is gained by harvesting animals and crops, and can be used to purchase meals in the Market. Meals will partially refill your energy meter, allowing you to continue working. Some of the various meals are:
Light Snack
36 Food
80 Food
165 Food
320 Food
7 Course Feast
600 Food
All You Can Eat
10 Horseshoes
Full Refill
Beef Jerky
30 Horseshoes
Full Refill + 3 (permanent increase)
*Tip – Placing decorations like barrels or shovels on your cleared land will stop grasses and wildflowers from re-growing.Waiting One unit of energy is regained every five minutes. Therefore, the simplest way to reclaim a full meter is by taking a break from the game. Level-Up Leveling-up will completely refill your energy meter and add one permanently to your maximum level. Wall Posts Check your News Feed often because you can find food, energy, coin, experience, etc. off your friends' Facebook wall posts. Picking up some extra experience will help you get closer to leveling-up.

In 2006 Jillian Wolstein was on a flight returning from a safari in northern Botswana to the USA.
In 2006 Jillian Wolstein was on a flight returning from a safari in northern Botswana to the USA. With her experience of Africa fresh in her mind, she recognised that she wanted more meaning in her life. At home she surfed the Wilderness Safaris website and saw that in Malawi the staff of Mvuu lodge were requesting donations to help them build a classroom at Nanthomba, a school attended by most of the staff's children. She called the Wilderness office and requested bank details. She sent a donation sufficient for not just one classroom, but eight. It was the beginning of the award-winning HELP Malawi project.
Jillian's commitment did not end with making a donation. When I met her, four years later, she was on her hands and knees scrubbing the floor of a clinic they soon hope to open. Her continuing generosity, supported by other donors, evolved into an NGO called 'HELP Malawi'. The school that she built was given to the state, but an agreement was reached that the school would be run by a joint management committee consisting of representatives from the education department, teachers and HELP staff. Mvuu lodge, meanwhile, provides accommodation, facilities and logistical support for HELP's staff, some of whom are American and some Malawian.
Nanthomba Primary is an award winning project of HELP Malawi
A priority for HELP is to retain and motivate excellent teachers. So, whilst the teachers remain on state pay, they live in houses built by HELP, which have electricity, kitchen facilities and solar hot water – uncommon facilities for state teachers. In addition there are some volunteer teachers from the USA who support them.
HELP encourages gardening projects which give fresh produce and tea, and various craft groups sell their work to guests visiting the project from Mvuu. Debate and innovation are encouraged among pupils and staff, which is not typical of schools in Africa. We had a vibrant interaction with a grade 7 class; there is an energy and a level of organisation at Nanthomba that is striking. It is the intention that HELP will withdraw from the school's management in five years.
HELP brings US volunteers to rural Malawi
They hope that they can then move on to other schools in Malawi using the same partnership model. In a similar programme, HELP is about to re-open a government clinic near the school,working in partnership with the department of health.
The night before we arrived at Mvuu I had shared some 'greens' (Carlsberg) with a Scot based in Malawi. He was adamant that the best thing that could happen in Malawi was for international aid to cease, and aid workers to leave the country. He argued that such aid created a culture, among the people, and in government, that presumes that external organisations will step in and fill the gaps. It was with these thoughts in mind that I toured HELP's projects with Jordan, their enthusiastic US staff worker. Jillian hadn't heard of Malawi before she sent her donation. She is quite frank that she has no experience in development at all. But maybe the model she has developed has the right balance. It injects resources, but shares management, it introduces the 'western' culture of entrepreneurship, innovation and individualism that seem vital to economic success, but Jillian is honest enough to admit that, in part, her motivation is to give her and her family a sense of meaning which Africa does give to so many. And ultimately the projects are 'owned' by the state.
It seems to me that if a sense of mutual benefit continues to underline the project then this may distinguish HELP from other aid projects. Certainly the 800 children of Nanthomba school have been given a richer start in life through the efforts of HELP and Mvuu lodge.

(I have been sick and am steadily getting sicker. I had meant to post a review of the graphic novel Swordsmith Assassin, but I'm just too groggy to think and think it's best if I rest. Rather than break my promise of having content here 5 days a week, I have re-posted what I think was one of my funnier lists from my old Top 10 list blog, List SMASH! This list is also fitting, I think, because it's a list about a novel I haven't written to replace a review I haven't written, and in fact it's also about reviews. Freaking genius.)
Top 10 Review Blurbs for the Novel I Haven't Written
10. "Martin weaves the mythic elements of his story with the mundane and personal so seamlessly, it makes me want to shit." -Publishers Weekly
9. "I'm glad I don't have to read this out loud because I can't pronounce his name." -Newsweek
8. "This book is so good, we might just let him in if he stops doing that shit with those hookers who dress up like Cheetara." -Jesus
7. "Before reading this novel, I would never have thought so many references to Hitler, breasts, and the Incredible Hulk could say anything meaningful about childhood hunger. But Martin makes it work. God knows how, but he makes it work." -Booklist
6. "The book is so phenomenal, I bet every woman Mick ever wanted to have sex with who DIDN'T have sex with him - or dumped him - feels really, really sorry about it. They should probably write Mick a letter saying so. With nude pictures in a vain attempt to correct their error. And little wet marks where their stupid tears rained down on the paper." -Kirkus Reviews
5. "The world Martin creates - using both familiar pop culture icons and more autobiographical elements - says something about America that is important, timely, and yet ironically dealt with such matter-of-fact apathy that the reader must work that much harder to see beyond the more romantic elements which, while satisfactorily distracting, are like a big and ugly noise drowning out a prophetic songbird." -Dog the Bounty Hunter
4. "Glub. Bubble. Glub Glub." -Aquaman
3. "Mick Martin? Pfft. More like Mick MOTHERFUCKING Martin!" -Christian Science Monitor
2. "Monkeys. Heavy Metal. Fishnet Stockings. Macaroni and Cheese. Genius? Maybe. Maybe not. But someone published it, and that says something." -Christopher Lee
1. "I could've been fucking. But instead I read this book." -William Shatner

From The Labyrinth Library Podcast:
Mick Martin is the man who put me out of a job. How can I review anything else except in the light of the masterpiece he has produced? Try as I might, I can't come up with any review that is more accurate and informing than, "Not nearly as good as Mick's book, the bastard."
Ah well, back to selling my body, I suppose.

The High Line: new links
Friends of the High Line have put up two videos of interest to anyone following the progress of this new elevated park in Manhattan. (See previous post.)
The first is a history of the High Line, narrated by Ethan Hawke.
This one is a silent presentation on design of the High Line by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the project architect, and Field Operations, the landscape architect. Typically, the architect and landscape architect downplay the horticultural aspect of the project: there is no mention of Piet Oudolf, who is designing the plantings.

Dennis R. MacDonald is John Wesley Professor of New Testament and Christian origins at Claremont School of Theology and the author of numerous books, including Mythologizing Jesus: From Jewish Teacher to Epic Hero (2015), The Gospels and Homer (2015), and Luke and Vergil (2014).
Now available!
"Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them." Dennis R. MacDonald offers a provocative explanation of those scandalous words of Christ from the Fourth Gospel—an explanation that he argues would hardly have surprised some of the Gospel's early readers.
