text: Johannesburg - Resting one hand on his wife's shoulder and the other on a crutch, Landile Qebula shuffles along, wheezing heavily. The retired gold miner is showing off his four-room house perched near the top of a dusty hill in South Africa's rural Eastern Cape province."With the money I earned on the mines I built this," the 52-year-old says proudly of the dwelling that lacks running water and whose zinc roof is held down by bricks. "But for 33 years of work and what I am suffering, it is not enough."Qebula has silicosis, an incurable and degenerative lung disease, the result of 13-hour days in mines more than a mile underground. Now unable to work, he and his 11 family members survive on just R1 400 a month from the government.The pittance may just represent a down payment.Unlike the generations who preceded him, Qebula and as many as half a million others have tenacious and well-financed champions fighting on their behalf: Motley Rice, a legal powerhouse based half a world away in Charleston, South Carolina. Responding to an appeal from South African lawyer Richard Spoor, the firm is financing an effort that could upend the country's signature industry.Historic settlementsMotley Rice isn't just any law firm. Its late co-founder, Ron Motley, helped invent mass-tort litigation in the 1970s by bringing the first suits against makers of asbestos, a cancer-causing substance used in insulation. He spearheaded litigation against the tobacco industry that resulted in a R3.3trn settlement in 1998. More recently, co-founder Joseph Rice helped put together more than R161.4bn in settlements of lawsuits against BP over the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.While it's taken more than seven years, the unlikely combination of deep-pocketed US lawyers and impoverished South Africans is finally having some success. Miners and families of deceased workers were certified as a class in May by a judge in Johannesburg, paving the way for the country's biggest class-action suit. While both sides say it's too early to speculate on the size of any payout, a recent settlement suggests it could run as high as R26.9bn - 20 times the 2015 profit at the country's biggest producer.That would make it worth the lawyers' investment. The winning attorneys will get either twice their normal fee or 15% of any award, South Africa's High Court has ruled. Spoor said he would then reimburse Motley Rice's costs; the split of the rest remains to be negotiated, Spoor said.Some 32 companies, which include AngloGold Ashanti, Harmony Gold and Sibanye Gold are the defendants. While denying liability, the six biggest defendants say a "settlement that will be fair to the claimants and sustainable for the industry" is preferable to litigation that could take as long as 15 years, according to a joint statement by their Johannesburg-based spokesman Alan Fine of Russell & Associates.The legal wrangling is where Motley Rice comes in.Michael Elsner was at his desk in an office outside Charleston when he got a call from Spoor, who wanted to know if Elsner would be interested in helping with cases he'd filed on behalf of some stricken gold miners. That was in 2009."He needed a partner for strategic advice and funding," Elsner said in an interview.After doing his own research and getting the law firm's blessing for its first dive into a case outside the US or Canada, Elsner agreed to serve as Spoor's consultant.The firm also assigned Elsner's wife, Liza, to the case, making the litigation part of their everyday life. "As she likes to put it, we're working on things 24 hours a day," he joked.Relying on his asbestos-litigation experience, Elsner helped Spoor set up systems for collecting and storing information from prospective clients and gearing up for pre-trial information exchanges with the mining companies. The cost is running at about R500 000 a month - about R6m a year."We couldn't do it without their support," Spoor said in an interview.With millions of migrant labourers recruited to South Africa's gold mines in the past 50 years, the eventual number of claimants could swell to as many as 500 000, Judge Phineas Mojapelo said in the May ruling. Spoor reckons between 100 000 and 200 000 is a more realistic number.It's not hard to find them. In a settlement not far from Qebula's village, Bongani Nkala walks with the familiar shuffle and wheeze. The 62-year-old says he was fired in 1996 after becoming too sick to work."The mine bosses told us we are the living corpse," he said. "We are not useful for the mines anymore. We are like the dead."The miners claim that they were negligently exposed to vast amounts of silica dust for decades, causing silicosis and pulmonary tuberculosis. Silica dust is found almost exclusively in gold mines, indicating a strong connection with mining. The link with tuberculosis is less clear because it can be contracted from other sources.South Africa's mines, which have produced a third of all the world's gold, were as profitable as they were ruthless. Since gold was discovered in 1886 they recruited millions of poor, black workers mainly from rural areas across southern Africa.Qebula would typically wake at 04:00 in a 16-man hostel and make his way to the number 8 shaft of Great Noligwa, a mine now owned by AngloGold, the world's third-largest producer. He would change into his overalls, pick up a headlamp and descend as far as a mile below the surface in a huge steel-cage. He and his eight-member mining crew would then walk, and sometimes crawl, through a labyrinth of tunnels for as long as three hours, to whichever panel of ore they were working. Heat regularly breached 40 degrees Celsius.Qebula spent most of his days - and working life - using a handheld drill to make holes for explosives. The blasted rock would then be carted to the surface for processing."We walked a long distance up to the lift and that whole distance was dusty because of the blasting," Qebula said. "We covered our noses with our overalls."Only in 1997, three years after white-minority rule ended, was he issued a mask, Qebula said. The only dust-control measure was to spray water in affected areas. "After some hours the dust would come back again," he said. Qebula said he was fired in 2010 after becoming too sick to work and received a one-off payment of R51 000.AngloGold said he left the company after he was found medically unfit. "The search for an alternative, less strenuous surface role was unfortunately unsuccessful," a statement said.Safety measuresDust control is much improved in recent years, says Fine, the spokesperson. Companies now use sophisticated ventilation techniques and automatic sprays and issue protective equipment as standard practice. For its part, AngloGold says no blasting takes place while employees are underground.Now, Qebula spends most of his day sitting in his armchair directing his kids to fetch water from a nearby river and worrying about how to pay for their education."The chest pains are getting more severe," he said, sitting in his living room, his hand gripping an armrest scratched through to the foam underneath. "It's not easy to breathe."While the effect of silica dust has been known about since the early 1900s, South African law prevented miners from suing for the lung damage. Spoor challenged the ban in lawsuits beginning in 2006. The costs were so high he almost lost his house, but eventually won in the country's highest court in 2011.Despite their successes, the clock is ticking on the legal battle. At least 20% of Spoor's claimants have died in the past decade. Thembekile Mankayi, whose application to sue AngloGold for R2.6m led to the courts overturning the ban in 2011, passed away just days before the ruling.His wife Nozuzile Mankayi, 66, says she is proud that he made legal history, but still hasn't received a cent of compensation. She has 10 children and seven grandchildren."We were happy that he made it possible for other miners to claim compensation but all that is fading away daily," she said, as she visited Nkala's house after hearing about the visit by Bloomberg News. "We don't know if we will get anything anymore. We are no longer patient."Both sides say a settlement would be best. Elsner envisions setting up a trust financed by the companies. The trust would fund a system of "mobile medical facilities or some other way to offer access to medical testing and treatment," he said. Such trusts have overseen billions in payments to US asbestos victims in the past 25 years.The companies favour current and future employees being compensated by a government-backed fund and are working with department officials to achieve this, Fine said. They also want to help fix a second, government compensation fund and to top-up statutory payments, he said.A separate case between 4 365 former mineworkers and Anglo American and AngloGold Ashanti was settled for R500m in March. That gives a payout ratio of R115 738 per person. (This is a theoretical figure because medical and administrative costs will be deducted and each miner will be individually assessed for compensation).Those figures "set a minimum standard," Spoor said. Using his assumptions for between 100 000 and 200 000 people affected, that would bring an eventual payout to between R11.57bn and R22.88bn.While saying it's too early to speculate on a final sum, "some of the numbers that are being quoted are way outside the realm of any fair actuarial valuation," AngloGold CEO Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan said in an interview.Lawyers for the companies - which include Norton Rose Fulbright, Webber Wentzel and ENSafrica - and the former employees have held preliminary settlement discussions. Elsner sees his boss, Rice, as a key weapon in the miners' arsenal when talks get serious. "He's one of the most creative negotiators ever, so we'd benefit from having him involved," Elsner said. If a deal can't be reached quickly, Elsner said Spoor and other South African lawyers should press ahead with the class action as aggressively as possible to get some silicosis suits to trial as test cases."I don't want people to have to wait 10 or 15 years to get a ruling," he said. "By that time, all the people we are fighting for will be dead."Read Fin24's top stories trending on Twitter: Fin24's top stories

Hi Rob, read anything you can about Karpman's triangle. I learned this in LE when dealing with Domestic Violence incidents. The triangle is this you have a victim, an attacker, and the white knight usually LE. When all 3 elements are present you can get some unusual and unexpected outcomes, such as the victim may unite with the attacker against the white night when it comes to the point where somebody is going to jail. Very probably has interesting connotations in respect to COIN operations. I will try and find some links.
Here is one to start.

Certain things are really helping me get through this tough (yet very enjoyable) slog, and this post is a dedication to the simple and wonderful things that seem even more wonderful after 10 hours of typing in silence!
Millionaire's Shortbread
I am currently munching on a slice with a large cup of tea. One of my favourite ever treats (so long as the caramel:chocolate:shortbread ratio is right, which it is here). Bliss!
Pretty toes
I painted my toenails for the first time all summer on Sunday! I rarely go without colourful toenails, but this summer I've been so busy, and my toenails have been wrecked thanks to running/hiking so I haven't bothered. Then, on Sunday I had a bit of 'me-time' for some pampering, and now everytime I look at my toenails, I feel a sensation of chilled-out-ness, briefly. (nb. Those are not my feet. I wish!)
More specifically, the above pose, which doesn't look like the man above when I try it, but wow it feels good! I come to my yoga mat in an evening, and I am more un-bendy than I've ever been before; even Child's Pose is a struggle! Despite this, or maybe because of this, I feel better after yoga than I ever have before; my body feels awake, alive, loose and fresh. Surprisingly, I don't even feel demoralized by my inability to stretch and bend and balance like I used to - I simply feel grateful to be unfolded so thoroughly!

THE new head teacher at Dumbarton Academy's has told how she is looking forward to leading the school into a new era.
Jacqui Lynam took up the role on Monday and is relishing the prospect of pupils and teachers making the transition to a brand new super school next year.
She follows the lead of Graham Hutton who left the school in November after securing a position at Grove Academy, close to his home in Dundee.
Mrs Lynam said: "I am delighted to be joining Dumbarton Academy as head teacher and looking forward to working with pupils, parents, staff and the local community.
"I recognise this is a new start for me with fresh challenges as well as for the school."
A brand new Dumbarton Academy building is set to be opened later next year at the current Crosslet Road site, providing much improved facilities for pupils and staff.
Mrs Lynam added: "I am also looking forward to the opening of the new Dumbarton Academy building in 2013.
"My aims will be to build on the excellent standards and reputation of the school and to ensure all pupils leave Dumbarton Academy with a range of qualifications and skills to prepare them for the next stage in their chosen career."
Education director Terry Lanagan was pleased to see Dumbarton Academy's new head teacher take up her post.
He said: "I am delighted to welcome Jacqui Lynam to West Dunbartonshire Council as head teacher of Dumbarton Academy.
"Jacqui comes to us with a very strong reputation, following two spells as acting head teacher of Renfrew High School.
"She performed extremely well throughout the recruitment process and made a strong impression on staff, pupils and parents at the school.
"I am confident that she will build on the excellent work done by the school under the leadership of Graham Hutton over the last three years and will enable Dumbarton Academy to achieve even greater success in future."

Abellaite Abellaite was named in honor of its discoverer, amateur mineral collector Joan Abella i Creus. Found in the abandoned Eureka uranium mine in Catalonia, Spain, abellaite is an example of a hydrous carbonate mineral. Such minerals are often colorless or poorly crystallized, which potentially explains why abellaite was initially overlooked at a locality abundant with 61 other known mineral species. Cotype material is deposited in the collections of the Natural History Museum of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain, specimen number MGB 26.350

Sepp Blatter is considering staying on as FIFA president despite his resignation in early June, according to Swiss newspaper Schweiz am Sonntag.
The paper quoted an unnamed source close to Blatter as saying he "had received messages of support from African and Asian football associations" asking him to rethink his decision to step down.
Former FIFA governance adviser Michael Hershman had told ESPN's Jeremy Schaap earlier this month that he was also uncertain that Blatter would walk away.
FIFA will set a date for the new presidential election next month. It is expected to take place on Dec. 16, although the European Parliament has urged 79-year-old Blatter to walk away immediately.
However, Schweiz am Sonntag said experts at FIFA doubted whether any of those vying to succeed Blatter, including former Brazil star Zico, could command a majority.
PR consultant Klaus J. Stohlker, who worked as Blatter's personal adviser from January to the end of May, told the newspaper: "It's hard to find someone who is equal to him.
"Blatter has built the organisation into a global, highly successful company, and he's a top diplomat. Blatter has a reasonable chance. It now depends on how he behaves in the coming months."
He added: "Blatter is the elected president at FIFA."
News of Blatter's reported rethink comes just days after FIFA's director of communications and public affairs Walter De Gregorio also announced his resignation from world football's governing body.
The paper reports that De Gregorio had been a leading voice in the clamour for a new start at FIFA, and that his differences with Blatter were insurmountable.
De Gregorio refused to comment when asked about those claims by Schweiz am Sonntag.
Now that the expulsion vote on Israel dead things are going to go back to normal at FIFA what a calculated scam this was.

The Atlantic, not known for sympathy to conservatives, brings up this inconvenient truth about the Democratic Party:
Believing women about assault—even if they lack the means to prove their accounts—as well as understanding that female employees don't constitute part of a male boss's benefits package, were the galvanizing consequences of Anita Hill's historic allegations against Clarence Thomas, in 1991. When she came forward during Thomas's Supreme Court confirmation hearing and reported that he had sexually humiliated and pressured her throughout his tenure as her boss at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, it was an event of convulsive national anxiety. Here was a black man, a Republican, about to be appointed to the Supreme Court, and here was a black woman, presumably a liberal, trying to block him with reports of repeated, squalid, and vividly recounted episodes of sexual harassment. She had little evidence to support her accusations. Many believed that since she'd been a lawyer at the EEOC, she had been uniquely qualified to have handled such harassment.
But then something that no one could have predicted happened. It was a pre-Twitter, pre-internet, highly analog version of #MeToo. To the surprise of millions of men, the nation turned out to be full of women—of all political stripes and socioeconomic backgrounds—who'd had to put up with Hell at work. Mothers, sisters, aunts, girlfriends, wives—millions of women shared the experience of having to wait tables, draw blood, argue cases, make sales, all while fending off the groping, the joking, the sexual pressuring, and the threatening of male bosses. They were liberal and conservative; white collar and pink collar; black and white and Hispanic and Asian. Their common experience was not political, economic, or racial. Their common experience was female.
For that reason, the response to those dramatic hearings constituted one of the great truly feminist events of the modern era. Even though Thomas successfully, and perhaps rightly, survived Hill's accusations, something in the country had changed about women and work and the range of things men could do to them there.
But then Bubba came along and blew up the tracks.
How vitiated Bill Clinton seemed at the 2016 Democratic convention. Some of his appetites, at least, had waned; his wandering, "Norwegian Wood" speech about his wife struck the nostalgic notes of a husband's 50th-anniversary toast, and the crowd—for the most part—indulged it in that spirit. Clearly, he was no longer thinking about tomorrow. With a pencil neck and a sagging jacket he clambered gamely onto the stage after Hillary's acceptance speech and played happily with the red balloons that fell from the ceiling.
Yet let us not forget the sex crimes of which the younger, stronger Bill Clinton was very credibly accused in the 1990s. Juanita Broaddrick reported that when she was a volunteer on one of his gubernatorial campaigns, she had arranged to meet him in a hotel coffee shop. At the last minute, he had changed the location to her room in the hotel, where she says he very violently raped her. She said that she fought against Clinton throughout a rape that left her bloodied. At a different Arkansas hotel, he caught sight of a minor state employee named Paula Jones, and, Jones said, he sent a couple of state troopers to invite her to his suite, where he exposed his penis to her and told her to kiss it. Kathleen Willey said that she met him in the Oval Office for personal and professional advice and that he groped her, rubbed his erect penis on her, and pushed her hand to his crotch.
It was a pattern of behavior; it included an alleged violent assault; the women involved had far more credible evidence than many of the most notorious accusations that have come to light in the past five weeks. But Clinton was not left to the swift and pitiless justice that today's accused men have experienced. Rather, he was rescued by a surprising force: machine feminism. The movement had by then ossified into a partisan operation, and it was willing—eager—to let this friend of the sisterhood enjoy a little droit de seigneur.
The notorious 1998 New York Times op-ed by Gloria Steinem must surely stand as one of the most regretted public actions of her life. It slut-shamed, victim-blamed, and age-shamed; it urged compassion for and gratitude to the man the women accused. Moreover (never write an op-ed in a hurry; you'll accidentally say what you really believe), it characterized contemporary feminism as a weaponized auxiliary of the Democratic Party.
Called "Feminists and the Clinton Question," it was written in March of 1998, when Paula Jones's harassment claim was working its way through court. It was printed seven days after Kathleen Willey's blockbuster 60 Minutes interview with Ed Bradley. If all the various allegations were true, wrote Steinem, Bill Clinton was "a candidate for sex addiction therapy." To her mind, the most "credible" accusations were those of Willey, who she noted was "old enough to be Monica Lewinsky's mother." And then she wrote the fatal sentences that invalidated the new understanding of workplace sexual harassment as a moral and legal wrong: "Even if the allegations are true, the President is not guilty of sexual harassment. He is accused of having made a gross, dumb, and reckless pass at a supporter during a low point in her life. She pushed him away, she said, and it never happened again. In other words, President Clinton took 'no' for an answer."
Steinem said the same was true of Paula Jones. These were not crimes; they were "passes." Broaddrick was left out by Steinem, who revealed herself as a combination John and Bobby Kennedy of the feminist movement: the fair-haired girl and the bare-knuckle fixer. The widespread liberal response to the sex-crime accusations against Bill Clinton found their natural consequence 20 years later in the behavior of Harvey Weinstein: Stay loudly and publicly and extravagantly on the side of signal leftist causes and you can do what you want in the privacy of your offices and hotel rooms. But the mood of the country has changed. We are in a time when old monuments are coming down and men are losing their careers over things they did to women a long time ago.When more than a dozen women stepped forward and accused Leon Wieseltier of a serial and decades-long pattern of workplace sexual harassment, he said, "I will not waste this reckoning." It was textbook Wieseltier: the insincere promise and the perfectly chosen word. The Democratic Party needs to make its own reckoning of the way it protected Bill Clinton. The party needs to come to terms with the fact that it was so enraptured by their brilliant, Big Dog president and his stunning string of progressive accomplishments that it abandoned some of its central principles. The party was on the wrong side of history, and there are consequences for that. Yet expedience is not the only reason to make this public accounting. If it is possible for politics and moral behavior to coexist, then this grave wrong needs to be acknowledged. If Weinstein and Mark Halperin and Louis C. K. and all the rest can be held accountable, so can our former president and so can his party, which so many Americans so desperately need to rise again.

James Rynerson enjoyed less than two hours of freedom before his wife realized the error and made him turn himself back in.
While you were sleeping: Wife returns husband to jail following error
Here's what happened while you were getting some refreshing shut-eye.
Quebec crane operators were ordered back to work. The Administrative Labour Tribunal granted the demand made by the Quebec Construction Commission (CCQ) to put an end to the strike. According to the decision given Thursday evening, it is urgent to send the operators back to work because "it appeared evident that construction sites had been suffering major impacts as a result of work stopping." The CCQ said workers who defy the provisional order could be held in contempt of the tribunal and face fines of $10,000 for an individual or $100,000 for a corporation, or even imprisonment. Crane operators across Quebec began striking on Monday. The commission said the strike is illegal because the collective agreement between employers associations and trade unions is valid until 2021. At the work site for the new Champlain Bridge, which will connect Montreal to the South Shore, workers began pressure tactics a week ago. The dispute is due to changes made May 14 to the training qualifications required to become a crane operator. The crane operators allege the changes are unsafe for them and the public.
The Plateau Mont-Royal administration said that a new bylaw banning any new parking spaces in alleyways will be implemented in 498 of its 505 zones. The bylaw bans the establishment of any new parking spots in public alleyways or lanes behind residences or businesses. The borough said existing parking spaces will not be affected. The Plateau's administration said it wants to reduce the dependence on cars in the borough and turn alleyways into green spaces where children can play safely. On Wednesday, the Plateau Mont-Royal held a public registry — effectively a petition — at Laurier Plaza for citizens from 36 of the borough's 505 zones to declare their opposition to the new parking rules. The borough said it would reconsider implementing the bylaw in zones where approximately 15 per cent of eligible voters were opposed to it. The borough decided against implementing the bylaw in seven of the 36 zones where more than 15 per cent of voters signed the registry opposing the rules. "We have confirmation today, once again, that what we're doing has the support of a vast majority of citizens," Mayor Luc Ferrandez said in a statement Thursday. "We will continue to put forward a vision of the alleyways in the Plateau as places of life, where games, trees and quiet are prioritized rather than cars."
Court records say a Colorado inmate, mistakenly released from jail, enjoyed less than two hours of freedom before his wife realized the error and made him turn himself in. The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reports James Rynerson was in custody late last month at the Mesa County Jail on a $2,000 cash bond while awaiting prosecution on menacing, disorderly conduct and trespass charges. Rynerson, 38, was released after Mesa County sheriff's deputies at the Jail mistook him for another inmate, Marvin March. Mesa County Sheriff's Sgt. Henry Stoffel said Wednesday that jail employees broke procedure when they failed to check Rynerson's wristband and picture, and that an investigation is ongoing to determine whether jail policy around the housing list needs to be updated. He credited Rynerson's wife for returning her husband to custody.

Foster kittens find a welcoming sanctuary at Conrad Weiser High School
Super socialized, the cats have gained the attention of students, teachers, administrators and staff.
At Conrad Weiser High School, Frank, Rick and Oklin are impacting people's lives.
They are the three latest short-term foster-care residents out of a total of 23 who have found a welcoming sanctuary at the school since last spring.
Like all of their four-legged, fur-covered, bright-eyed and bewhiskered predecessors, Frank, Rick and Oklin are very likely to be adopted because every previous foster resident has been adopted.
What's going on?
A lot and apparently much more than was ever expected.
�We are all a family here who care about each other,� said Kasey Giffin, 19, of Wernersville, a special-needs student with a passion for painting, writing, befriending others and embracing kittens.
Giffen was joined by his fellow students, Eric Roman, 19, of Wernersville and Manny Velez, 18, of Wernersville, cuddling kittens, making sure they eat and keep clean while providing them space to snuggle contentedly in their arms or energetically swat at the zippers and drawstrings on their hoodies.
Super socialized, the kittens have gained the attention of students, teachers, administrators and staff all throughout the school whose lives have been touched by the tiny creatures' needs.
What started out last March as a kitten foster-care project in a Life Skills class for special-needs students has evolved into an open-door policy of drawing mainstream students to intermingle with kittens and bond in friendship with special-needs teens for as long as a half-hour at the end of each day.
Destress with kittens
It has brought teachers into the Life Skillls classroom to destress with kittens for their own slice of pet therapy, and it has sparked the organization of an Animal Rescue League Club (partners in the foster-care program), dedicated to fundraisers for the shelter nonprofit. The club recently participated in the Jack Frost Parade with a float.
Fostering kittens has brought all sorts of people together with all sorts of intellectual and emotional needs in a public house of education.
�I can't overemphasize the positive impact this program has had on creating a wider community; I honestly didn't see that part coming,� said Rebecca Miller, special education teacher who, at first, embraced the idea of a foster kitten program in her Life Skills class just to re-enforce concepts of compassion and responsibility for her special students.
Colleen Toal, a paraeducator and support faculty for the Life Skills class, is the engine behind the foster-care project, a pet lover with some 14 to 20 pets (dogs, cats, goats donkeys and birds at her small farm), and a longtime activist in animal rescue.
�We call her the animal whisperer,� Miller said.
Whisperer though she may be, her voice and actions have echoed in Conrad Weiser's halls.
�The first few days were a whirlwind of excitement, especially the first day I came walking through the halls with a carrier full of kittens (as many as five at one time),� Toal said. �All the kids pitched in to help unload all the equipment from the car, and we got the nursery all set up.
�It was 'aws and look how cutes' for a couple of days, but we got down to business pretty quickly as the babies needed more than cuddles during free time.�
Stresses responsibility
Sanctioned by the administration and parents, the kitten foster program stresses the responsibility needed for long-term pet care, everything from syringe feeding to formula warming, to the importance of spaying/neutering, nutrition, the need for stimulation and socialization and pet cleanliness.
�When a kid would say, 'I want this one,' or 'how can I adopt that one,' I'd ask them what they will be doing when they are around 25 years old because that's how long you will be responsible for this kitty," Toal said. "It was usually met with a blank stare. I hope I opened some eyes.�
Being exposed to the needs of kittens every day can alter attitudes.
In the Class Cash program where students are paid $20 in make-believe money when completing selected chores, they can take their funds to buy anything from candy to toiletries to socks at a tiny school store.
More students are using some of their money to buy cat food, redirecting attention from themselves to the foster kittens.
Tori Williams, foster coordinator at the Animal Rescue League, said the shelter currently has 300 kittens, but at the height of the summer can have up to 400 kittens.
�We have roughly 50 to 60 foster parents, and typically a kitten is kept up to 8 weeks or when it is 2 pounds and then altered and put up for adoption,� she said. �Our overall foster kitten program exceeded expectations. We had 1,200 kittens adopted this year.�
She praised the Conrad Weiser program as an important part of community outreach because of its platform to educate people about animal welfare, promote adoptions, raise awareness about pet therapy in helping mental health and expand community compassion and interaction.
Donations forthcoming
Toal said the Animal Rescue League has provided supplies and offered medical care for the school's foster kittens, but donations of food, kitty litter and toys also have been forthcoming from the community.
�I think the program is amazing,� said Alyssa Perez of Robesonia, another Conrad Weiser paraprofessional. �It brings people together in this school who wouldn't normally cross paths. When people are tired, upset, angry, they come here for a quick pick-me-up with the kittens.�
Janell Hoffmaster of Wernersville, another paraprofessional, said she's witnessed the therapeutic benefits on students of just holding kittens.
�I've seen Eric (Roman) and the struggles he has with reading out loud just melt away when he's holding a kitten,� she said.
�I don't know why, but having the kitten just makes me more relaxed,� Roman said.
Mainstream students not in the Life Skills program have been drawn to the foster kitten classroom simply because of its welcoming vibe.
A new student at Conrad Weiser this year, Nat Gregonis, 15, of Womelsdorf, a sophomore, said he stops by every day.
�At home I have five pets � a whippet, French bulldog, two cats and a corn snake,� said Gregonis, who identifies as transgender and suffered bullying at his previous school. �I never had any friends, but this is a welcoming safe space in my life. Cats are emotionally helpful to those with depression.�
Camille Bauerly, 18, of Stouchsburg, a senior, moved to the district last year and discovered the Life Skills class and kittens, both of which served as a friendly portal to a new school.
�I've become a mentor to special needs students, helping with homework projects and this is a most welcoming place,� she said, adding that sometimes as many as 25 students pour into the classroom, waiting patiently to hold or pet the kittens during a personal learning time period at the end of they day.
Support kitten foster care
Other students such as Alyssa Mott, 15, of Wernersville, a sophomore, praised for her exceptional organizational skills (she was the main force behind sparking the Animal Rescue League Club), and Amanda Baker, 17, of Sinking Spring, a junior and a pet-lover with an affinity for helping special-needs students, are among the regulars who strongly support kitten foster care.
And Rena Butcavage, 17, of Wernersville, a senior, said she comes the Life Skills class regularly because she loves the kids and supports the sense of greater community created by the presence of kittens.
�I love cats and I love Mrs. Miller,� said Taylor Krick, 14, of Stouchsburg, who has cerebral palsy and an allergy to cats.
But she was still sitting in the classroom, saying that she considers being a veterinarian or a make-up artist or an educator working with special needs children.
�Kittens help me with anxiety,� she said. �They calm me down, relax me. I use my tiny voice to talk to them.�
�It would be wonderful to see other school districts try this out,� Toal said. �I think a lesson in humanity, compassion and responsibility is just as important as everything else that is taught.�
Toal said she is willing to help other school districts on a path toward building and embracing diversity in their communities through addressing the needs of abandoned kittens.

Guidelines for First Time Credit Card Users
A "first" credit card can be exciting, tempting and intimidating. If you are getting your first credit card (or your child is getting his/her first card), here are some ideas to keep in mind.
1. A credit card is serious business. The issuing company is lending you money and you have responsibilities.
2. One card is probably enough. Avoid the temptation by only having one card.
3. Keep the credit limit low. Depending on how you are going to use it, $500 or $1000 is high enough for most first-time credit card users.
4. Pay off the entire balance each month. Avoid charges and build a good credit record.
5. Make the payments on time. This helps build a good record and avoids late payment charges.
6. Use the card for emergencies. Start off slowly with this new convenience. Keep using cash and checks for most purchases, especially until you get comfortable with the card.
7. Never let others use your card. You are responsible for all charges on your card. Do not let others borrow it or give out the number.
8. Keep track of your use of the card and compare your records to what shows up on the monthly statement.
9. Keep the card active. Even if you are only using the card for emergencies, use it for small purchases every three or four months just to keep it active. Then be sure to pay off the balance before any interest is due.
10.Avoid using the card for cash advances. The interest rate charged for advances is usually high and interest is charged immediately.
11.Create a spending and budget plan. Do not let your credit card payments exceed 20% of your monthly income.
12.If having a credit card turns out to be a problem, get rid of it or stop using it for a while.
Here are some other things to keep in mind about your credit card.
· The credit card companies make money by charging interest on long-term balances. Often the rates they charge are relatively high.
· Choose a card that fits how you are going to use it. Probably for a first time user, find a card that has low (or no) annual fees and low interest rates. If you are not going to use it much, the benefits (airline miles or money back) will not compensate for the fees usually found with these types of cards.
· Having a good credit record is important. Those with good records usually find that getting credit is easier and they often qualify for lower rates on their borrowing.
· Investigate the details of the card thoroughly. Be sure to understand all the fees and how interest charges are calculated.

Great lakes sport fishing charters with
Captain John Milbourne

Guide To Booking A Charter!
If you like the idea of trolling, casting or jigging for your favorite
Great Lakes Fish you have come to the right place! There are many
qualified charter boats around the Great Lakes that can allow you many
experiences from the deep-water angling to the shallower near shore
Remember, it's your choice! Trips can be planned around a variety of
variables, a specific time of year, using a specific fishing method, and
for a particular fish species. Each of these methods have their time and
place, just as different seasons of the year result in different sizes
and numbers of fish caught and different kinds of satisfaction gained by
the angler. The choices are many, and trips need to be thought out
Choose your captain wisely - it's your choice! Many charter anglers have
found it takes years of trial and error to find a Charter Captain who
best meets their needs, desires, and budget. Since the 1970's the
charter boat industry has grown dramatically, most captains are superior
boat operators and are required to pass boat inspections. They are
excellent anglers, and have a good knowledge of the water, weather, and
where to find fish. Most will also go the extra nautical mile to make
your experience memorable. Avoid the occasional bad charter by asking a
the proper questions before your charter trip is booked.
The cost of a charter varies by the operation and the services they
offer. The most common way that charter captains charge is by a time
limit, for example a six-hour (Half Day) could be $450 based on 4
anglers and an eight-hour (Full Day) could be $550 based on 4 anglers.
If the charter boat has a First Mate it is proper to tip the mate as the
mates pay is based on tips. Most Charters in the Great Lakes are
licensed for six-passengers, plus two crew for a total of 8 fishermen.
Nearly all the Great Lakes Charters include bait, tackle, and ice in the
base cost of the trip. Some offer an executive charter, which may
include breakfast, lunch, and beverages. Most of the time fish cleaning
can add to the cost of the trip. Party or head-boat charters, where more
than six people can fish using their own bait and tackle or that
supplied by the boat is a lot less than a private charter. The bottom
line is that you get what you pay for. Be sure to ask
questions to assure the charter is what you want.

Jones Up Top Sparks Orioles Resurgence
It was exactly one month ago today, on May 26th, when the Orioles fell to the Houston Astros 4-2, completing a series sweep and bumping their losing skid up to four games. The team owned a 26-19 (.578) record and were two games behind the Boston Red Sox. Needless to say, a sense of frustration was hovering over Birdland like a dark cloud.
At this point in the season, the offense was in the middle of a slump and its spiritual leader, Adam Jones, was hitting just .223/.282/.357. He'd hit just five home runs, knocked in just 19, and was striking out at a rate of once every 4.62 at bats. Clearly, Jones' struggles were mirroring that of the team, and knowing the role that Jones plays – he is the tempo setter on and off the field – it's really no surprise.
The very next day, as the team traveled to Cleveland, the genius that is Buck Showalter obviously decided that a move to the top of the order for Jones could work. I'm not sure how this discussion played out, and what Jones' level of involvement was, however the move certainly came as a shock to most Orioles fans as Jones doesn't fit the mold of your traditional lead-off hitter. His aggressive nature at the plate sees him strikeout far more often than he draws a walk, and he also doesn't stick around long and produce drawn-out at bats. That's his style – he swings at the pitch he likes – and it's worked for him since debuting in 2006.
That night at Progressive Field, Jones went 3-for-5 as the Orioles snapped the losing skid with a much-needed 6-4 win. While Jones' success was noted, there was still a lack of belief within the fan base that the move would work for a prolonged period of time, or, whether in fact that was even Showalter's intention. The far more likely scenario was Jones moving back down the order upon finding his groove.
As we now know though, that was a month ago and Jones is still out there looking to get things going at the top of the lineup. In the 30 games batting in the number one spot, Jones has produced a very impressive .317/.350/.603 slash, belting 10 home runs and knocking in 29 along the way. In those 30 games, the Orioles have gone 19-11 (.633) and the team currently sits four games clear of Boston in first place.
While all of Jones' key statistical indicators have risen markedly, and are being well reported on, one which hasn't been reported on with a great level of detail has been his decreasing rate of strikeouts. Since the move to the top of the lineup, Jones has struck out 23 times at a rate of one strikeout every 5.48 at bats – a significant improvement on both his career number (one strikeout every 4.86 at bats) and that seen earlier this season when batting between two and five in the lineup.
While somewhat unconventional in the methodology, the move has worked incredibly well and has arguably been the most important move made by Showalter this season to date. While baseball coaching manuals may not recommend it, Jones needs to remain in the lead-off spot for the foreseeable future, and hopefully his success there can continue to provide the spark required that fuels this mashing Orioles offense.

By Kelly Bonner : upout – excerpt
After the April announcement that we'd be getting new BART cars, SFMTA announced that Siemens, the developers of San Francisco Muni cars, are ready with a fleet of 260 new vehicles that are set to be delivered by end of 2016 to replace the current fleet of 151. This means that by 2017, you could be looking at these new designs that were previewed in the Embarcadero recently. They feature a new seating configuration, new color schemes (including green instead of red!), new exterior design and a host of other features. Shiny…
But one big change is that the majority of seats will most likely be laid out longitudinally, instead of transverse like they are now:…(more)
New BART seat arrangement, photo by Zrants
The Siemens vehicles are rail cars but seats are also being eliminated on BART and probably the new buses as well.
Do you really want people standing on buses going up and down steep hills and stopping and starting constantly? If public vehicles have standing passengers they should move slower and start and stop slower, not faster. I practically fell into a wheelchair when BART started suddenly the other day. How many people can reach the hangers? What is the plan for children and short people who can't grab onto a seat or pole? Hang onto strangers?
Removing seats is not the way to convince more people to take Muni to run errands that involve moving stuff. We have seen anti-backpack comments from bus riders who feel backpacks take up extra space. Packages, wheelchairs, baby carriages, luggage, pets, and bikes, among others, take up space and displace humans. How long before Muni starts charging extra for the stuff?
We insist on all private vehicle passengers wearing seat belts. Where is the protection for public vehicle riders?

Add a touch of farm-style flair to your contemporary kitchen with this streamlined three drawer base cabinet. With a shallower drawer above – perfect for keeping your cooking and dining utensils – and two extra-large drawers below – ideal for dinnerware, pots, saucepans, colanders, and so on, this cabinet promises lots of functional storage space. The outstanding quality of this cabinet is visible in the premium grade 3/4″ solid birch wood from which the face and drawer frames are constructed as well as in the 5/8th" grade A plywood from which the drawer boxes are crafted. The attention to detail is again exhibited in the expert dovetail joinery of the drawers and the soft-close, full-extension undermount glides on which they are fixed, ensuring they open and shut smoothly and sit flush with the front of the cabinet. Plus, the drawer panels have been treated with MDF to combat warping and cracking. Finally, the cabinet's natural maple veneer interiors and light grey waterborne UV finish serve to emphasize its clean, organic lines and minimalist look. Retails with a CAM lock assembly system.

Hi everyone! Here we have a very bad weather. It has been raining like crazy for three days now. And there are floods in some places. I hope the water will go away and the sun will come out soon.
And onto the swathes that I have today for you. They are of a beautiful polish A England – Crown Of Thistles.
This is an amazing colour. And it is from their latest collection called Elizabeth & Mary. It is shimmery and I think it has a little bit of a holo touch. You can see it in a picture bellow.
It was a little thick when I was applying it, but I was already used to that from their previous colour that I swatched and you can read all about it in this post: a england – Fotheringhay Castle. Other then that, there was nothing special about it's application. This time I put on two coats, but it would have been opaque in one.
It is a little tricky to photograph. It is not that blue in real life.
You can see in this two macro shots just how beautiful it is. And shimmery.
And it has a shiny finih. I just can't stop starring at my nails :).
What do you think of A England – Crown Of Thistles?
Well thank you for reading and see you soon! xoxo

I've followed Amy Tan's work for a while now. She inspires me, plain and simple. She recently created a handbook to help us dial into our creativity. Here's the link if you want to join us!
Amy and her friend, Jaime Waters, did a little video of how they created their first pages. So inspiring!
I've had this on my list for a few days to work on myself. Then today school was closed due to icy weather, so I printed two and worked on it with my son. We had a great time. Here's what we came up with.
My son chose to highlight the seasons in his good idea section. He drew a bird for the spring; arrows moving fast for summer because it goes by way too fast, a desk with a pencil for fall because that's when school starts, and used a snowflake stamp for winter. He recently was sick so he drew the word with a line through it for the less of this section. For more of this, he wants to travel more with family.
Funny mine included more travel too! and I want to live a simple life. I was so into the project that i spelled family wrong! oops! I'm all about things that are pretty so mine had to have flowers in them.
We used some stamps, some scrapbook paper, washi tape, stickers, colored pencils, pastels and crayons. It was a blast! Thanks Amy!
