Any article that talks about the importance of green youth movements is mighty fine by us… and we are honored to be included in this HuffPo piece, talking about Project Green Challenge and the power of young people to change the world!
Green Youth Movements Teach Kids Important Lessons
First Posted: 10/1/11
The leaves may be changing colors soon, but students across the country are going green. A youth-led organization is engaging high school and college students in a 30-day challenge to adjust their habits and go green.
The Project Green Challenge, which began October 1, offers participating students 30 daily tips "to raise awareness about conscious living, informed consumption, and the collective impact of individual actions, as well as empower students with actionable steps for their own lives," according to the project's website.
The Project Green Challenge is a campaign by the student-led organization Teens Turning Green. Founded in 2005, the group is "devoted to education and advocacy around environmentally and socially responsible choices for individuals, schools, and communities."
The aim of the 30-day challenge is to both inspire students to alter their own habits and to reach out and touch others. The students who use internet and social media the most to share their experiences will have the opportunity to travel to San Francisco for a two day educational conference called "Green University."
Teens Turning Green co-founder Erin Schrode, 20, describes the Project Green Challenge as "thirty simple steps to take your life from conventional to conscious."
She told The Huffington Post that despite this being Project Green Challenge's first year, her organization has received a strong response from youth in 44 states and across the world.
Schrode was clear about her organization's mission. She said they want "to change the world, to prove that apathy is out, and to empower young people to be the change we wish to see in the world."
She added, "I want to demonstrate to my peers that you can live consciously without sacrificing anything, be it quality, style, time, whatever."
Audubon is also encouraging kids to take action for the environment. They recently launched the year-long Pennies for the Planet campaign encouraging youth to learn about conservation while raising money for environmental projects.
Schools are also taking steps to be more environmentally conscious. Schools in states such as Kentucky, New York and Virginia have all built facilities that implement alternative energy sources and increased efficiency measures. The state of Maryland is now including environmental literacy as a high school graduation requirement.
Be sure to find out how you can be a part of October's International Walk to School Month.
For information about how you can get involved with the Project Green Challenge, visit the campaign's website.
The new, super snazzy, hi-tech website is now live… get your login and join the fun on Day #1 of Project Green Challenge. Today's theme is a good starter: "Eco Profile." What's your green quotient at the start of the 30 day lifestyle challenge? Here is our brand new site… browse around, learn, share, and have fun going from conventional to conscious over the course of the coming month!
We love Practically Green! Check out this awesome post…
Everyone who reads this blog knows a teenager, right? Or knows a teacher, a coach, a doctor, a neighbor who knows a teenager? Maybe you ARE a teenager!
Join Project Green Challenge, an amazing month-long event created especially for students!
The brainchild of Erin Schrode and her friends at Teens Turning Green, it launches October 1 with an entire month of exciting daily activities. Practically Green is proud to be a media sponsor to support the Challenge all month.

Erin's mom Judi just emailed to say, "46 states.. 14 countries .. hundreds of schools.. thousands of students.. unprecedented! … so grateful."
Have a look and plunge in: "30 days to take your lifestyle from conventional to conscious." Wouldn't you love to wake up on November 1st having accomplished just that?
We have 460 schools with participants signed up for Project Green Challenge. How cool is that?! And Indiana University is leading the way…
University leads US in green challenge participation
Students can log onto www.projectgreenchallenge.com to learn how to sign up and more about challenges, prizes and participants. Though the challenge begins Oct. 1, registration will remain open after that date.
More students are signed up for the inaugural Project Green Challenge at IU than from any other university in the country.
Approximately 100 IU students have already pledged to take the 30-day challenge, with hopes to engage and educate high school and collegiate students on leading a green lifestyle through small changes.
Judi Shils, founder and director of Teens Turning Green, a California-based nonprofit organization, conceived the challenge idea in the spring. In designing the competition, Shils recruited environmentally conscious campus leaders from across the country.
Ellen Spurgeon, chief and director of sustainability for the IU Student Association, helped bring the challenge to IU. She serves as a campus liaison and is one of 12 Project Green Challenge interns.
"I was skeptical at first if IU had the demographic for it," Spurgeon said of the perceived lack of support for sustainable efforts at IU. "It's different in San Francisco. Here, it's a select group. I just didn't know how worthwhile it would be."
After assessing potential benefits and receiving a few convincing calls, Spurgeon threw herself into the planning of the challenge. She developed an outreach plan targeted at various campus organizations, such as Union Board and the Student Sustainability Council.
Those who take the challenge, which occurs Oct. 1-30, will receive a daily email containing a challenge to complete that day. These challenges were written by students, eco-minded companies and nonprofits and will range in topic from food to fashion to fitness.
Emails will also include video messages from celebrity spokespeople and green authorities and supporters, as well as resources to help participants complete each task.
Challenges will prompt participants to use social media to share photos, videos and experiences with others across the country and internationally. They will ask students to make a small change in their daily lives that could have a larger impact.
"Our goals are trying to demonstrate what can change very easily and help students see change happen and become green advocates on their own campus," Shils said. "My ulterior motive is to show kids how really powerful they are. If they can work together — cross schools, cross states — we will have critical mass, and the change will happen."
Each challenge has three levels of difficulty: green, greener and greenest. More involved and creative responses will increase students' chances of winning a variety of daily prizes.
Many sponsors, such as Whole Foods and The Container Store, are helping Teens Turning Green offer the daily challenge prizes.
The competition offers larger prizes, such as gift cards, food and supplies for the top-10 student contributors and a grand prize that includes a $5,000 college scholarship, makeover and eco dorm room transformation.
The most successful school will also receive a yet-undetermined reward, Spurgeon said.
Noting the importance and achievability of the challenge, Shils encourages all students to consider the initiative.
"Take a dive. You have nothing to lose," she said. "It's a great way to create habits and actions that will stay with you for the rest of your life. And there are cool prizes."
With just one day left until the start of the competition after months of dedication and hard work, both Spurgeon and Shils have high expectations for the challenge.
"I want students to walk away with a feeling of accomplishment," Spurgeon said. "It is easy to implement these steps and realize it is easy to take part in the green movement and that there is a big community for this, even if at IU it doesn't feel like that."
Shils complimented IU's participation in the challenge thus far.
"Ellen was one of the most spirited responses we've had," she said. "I've been really inspired and amazed by her energy. To see kids this powerful, this committed, this passionate — that's the goal. That power of one is living proof on your campus. I applaud all of you."

It is common to see professional athletes receiving massages on the sidelines. Professional sports teams have long since realized the important role that sports massage plays in enhancing performance, reducing injury and aiding rehabilitation. However, this type of massage isn't only for top athletes—it can benefit anyone engaging in physical activity. Whether you are a dedicated sports enthusiast or a weekend warrior, sports massage can help you to achieve your fitness goals and keep you safer from serious injury.
Sports massage is generally defined as a deep tissue massage on the particular muscles that are exerted during performance of a specific athletic activity. Some sports will have a greater impact on the legs, others on the arms, back, shoulders, elbows and wrists. The goal of sports massage is to prevent or reduce injury. This is achieved by improving the range of motion and flexibility of the areas treated, thus reducing the chance of serious injury, such as muscle tearing. Sports massage is also useful to enhance or maintain athletic performance because the increased blood flow to the treated area enables better nutrition of those joints and muscles. The boost in tissue permeability permits the effective removal of lactic acid, which permits the muscle to take in more oxygen and nutrients, thereby rebounding faster. Those who have already sustained an injury use sports massage to aid in healing and reduce discomfort.
But what if you don't consider yourself an athlete? Sports massage will benefit anyone who engages in any kind of physical activity. In fact, recent reports have shown a marked increase in the number of sports injuries among those aged 45 to 65. Perhaps your job demands regular physical labor, or you've been doing a project around your house or property. The improved range of motion and flexibility that sports massage provides can help you to perform physical tasks with greater ease and security.

transition to the next generation of leadership", said Mr. Polk. "I am
proud of the progress we have made since 2011 transforming the portfolio
and building a set of competitively advantaged capabilities in
innovation, design and eCommerce. I am committed to working alongside
the Board and the management team to ensure a smooth transition over the
next few months."

Bariatric surgery is saving lives and benefiting people struggling with morbid obesity worldwide. With each successful procedure, the medical community sees further evidence that bariatric surgery is an effective weight loss tool and treatment for obesity-related health conditions. Many studies show that bariatric surgery patients are living longer, higher-quality lives.
Secondly, our nutritional approach uses a method that has been shown to be much more user friendly than counting calories (calories on food packaging can be out by up to 25%!) and doesn't rely on weighing every morsel of food that passes your lips. Our nutritional approach is about achieving optimal health while gradually increasing the quantity of food you are allowed while supporting muscle growth and fat loss. This is important as the industry 'standard' approach is to restrict/decrease food as time goes on which leads to muscle breakdown and a lower metabolism – both of which are disastrous as far as fat loss is concerned.
The Medi-Weightloss® Program is not a diet; it's a lifestyle change. Get off the dieting roller coaster and rejuvenate your life, learning to live healthy and lean for a lifetime through a three-phase, physician-supervised weight loss program that works. In each location, patients receive a VIP experience from caring, experienced healthcare professionals and an abundance of hands-on support, education, and accountability. Our trained professionals help make your weight loss journey stress free and uncomplicated. It's true. Come see for yourself.
I have been helping clients to loose weight for over ten years now. My success has lead to employment in the film industry across dozens of films and I have also been employed to optimise the body composition of athletes to help improve their athletic performance. The majority of my work however, is with average, everyday people in my clinics in and around London.

Heavy bleeding or Menorrhagia can become a problem for many women at many different stages. Even women who have gone through tubal ligation, women who have started taking prescribed hormones and stopped taking them, or women who are approaching menopause can suffer from heavy bleeding. Only your doctor can diagnose menorrhagia and present you with treatment options.
One such option might be NovaSure, an endometrial ablation (EA) procedure that provides a solution to heavy periods. It is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that we offer as part of our gynecology services as an alternative to a hysterectomy and will avoid the effects of hormone therapy. NovaSure delivers ninety seconds of controlled radio frequency energy through a thin handheld wand to remove the lining of the uterus. The procedure is quick and simple and nearly all patients report no pain.
Heavy Period Treatments
There are various surgical and pharmaceutical treatments for women who suffer from heavy periods, or menorrhagia. Knowing the pros and cons of the treatment will help you have a conversation with your health care provider to choose the appropriate therapy. One of the main considerations is if there are children in the possible future because some treatments will render it impossible to carry a child. The most extreme treatment for heavy bleeding is a hysterectomy, or the surgical removal of the uterus and cervix. There are also hormonal treatments and less invasive surgical treatments. Only you and your doctor can choose the treatment that is right.
Stop Heavy Periods
To stop heavy periods there are a number of things you can do both on your own as well as treatments performed by your doctor. Heavy menstrual bleeding, called menorrhagia by doctors, can be a serious impediment to an active lifestyle. Those who suffer from menorrhagia lose more than twice as much blood as those with normal menstrual cycles and often suffer from anemia.
If you want to try at home treatments you can try applying ice packs to the abdomen for twenty minutes at a time several times a day. Vitamin C will help your body absorb iron and possibly strengthen the blood vessels. Iron supplements may help slow bleeding as some studies show that low iron levels can increase menstruation. Always check with your healthcare providers before self-treating.
Contact us today to schedule a consultation with one of our doctors.

The temptation of numbers
Robert Davies, Fund Manager VT Smart Dividend UK Fund
The FTSE 100 index has recently moved above the 7,000 level though it is fair to say that the progress has been slow and cautious. Indeed there have been days when it has drifted below again. However, since it has taken 15 years to regain the position it held at the end of 1999 investors should perhaps be grateful it has least challenged this totemic hurdle, especially given the many political uncertainties capital markets currently face.
It is important to point out though that anyone invested in this index over that time period would have made a total return, before costs, of about 70%. Despite the index ending the period at the same level it started at equity investors would have benefitted from a steady stream of dividends that, if reinvested, would have delivered a substantial gain.
Nevertheless, it is clear from the levels of transactions in and out of the fund over the last few months that many investors have taken the opportunity to sell some investments as the capital index regained its previous high. One of the many, and arguably misleading, myths about investing is that it is never wrong to take a profit. If funds are required for a specific purpose of course it makes perfect sense to realise cash. But if the motive is simply to lock in a profit it immediately raises some questions; how much is really profit, what to do with the cash and when to reinvest it? With interest rates at historically low levels on cash and bonds none of the alternatives look appealing. On top of that timing investment back into the stock market is just as tricky as timing an exit.
The alternative option of just letting your investments run can be difficult, but an excellent demonstration of why it makes sense was recently provided by a 92 year old American janitor. When he died Ronald Read left an estate worth $8m, yet this WWII veteran only ever worked in a garage and as a caretaker in a local store. He rarely traded his shares, preferring to reinvest the dividends he received from his portfolio of 95 blue chip high dividend paying companies. That way dividends, the increase of those dividends, the reinvestment of those dividends and the compound interest on all three allowed his portfolio to accumulate into a very substantial pot despite the trials and tribulations of the capital markets.
It would seem he didn't pay too much attention to the levels of the stock market indices over that long period.
For anyone who can stomach the short term volatility of the stock market it can be rewarding in the long term. Doing nothing isn't easy, especially in the modern news driven world, but if the temptation to trade can be avoided it can be the more profitable strategy.

AT&T internet prices and plans
AT&T's Internet 10–100, Internet 100, and Internet 300 plans come fully loaded.
You may have already noticed that AT&T offers two types of internet: fiber plans and DSL plans. Which type you can get largely depends on where you live, and chances are if you don't live in a big metro area, you'll have only the DSL option.
We always say if you can get fiber, go for it, and we stick by that motto with AT&T internet. But if all you're seeing are AT&T DSL plans, rest assured that we think the Internet 10–100 plan is a pretty good deal too.
Here's how the cookie crumbles when you look at each internet plan—plus how AT&T's prices and speeds compare to other internet providers.
DSL internet plans
It only takes a quick glance to see that you get more for your money with AT&T's Internet 10–100 plan.
In fact, the price for the Internet Basic 5 plan runs higher than the low-speed plans from other internet service providers (ISPs)—and those still offer a few more Mbps to keep those web pages loading.
|Download speed

But if you peeked ahead to the AT&T Fiber section, you probably already know what we're about to say next.
If you can get the AT&T Fiber Internet 100 plan, go for that over the Internet 10–100 DSL plan.
Why? Because you're guaranteed 100 Mbps speeds with the fiber plan, but the DSL plan promises to get you the fastest speeds in your area. Which could range anywhere from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps.
The not-so-great news: both of these internet connections run into issues the farther you are from your ISP or neighborhood internet node. That's why we recommend fiber—it uses light technology that doesn't get as distorted over long distances.
Want to nerd out with us? Check out our fiber internet and cable internet explanations.
Our pick for AT&T DSL: Internet 10–100
Who it's good for: The Internet 10–100 plan is a good match and worth the money if you and your family are average internet users and can get close to the top-end 100 Mbps speeds. That includes playing Stardew Valley with your friends or your 18-year-old streaming the latest Billie Eilish album while they study.
Why we picked it: AT&T's price for loading Facebook at 100 Mbps is right in line with other ISPs—and even a little cheaper than some. The one terabyte data cap is a bummer, but most of us will never come close to hitting that ceiling.
Fiber plans
So why go with fiber?
First off, fiber has fewer connection issues. You could say fiber is the most zen internet connection because there's less chance of your connection freaking out when 20 of your neighbors decide to download a pirated copy of The Lion King all at the same time.
(P.S. We do not condone piracy, the Jack Sparrow kind or the digital kind.)

Overall, we think AT&T Fiber is a better value than DSL. It's way faster, and you can choose from a wider variety of speeds—some even at lower prices than the competition.
If you want to max out your speed, AT&T Fiber's 1,000 Mbps plan is priced on the cheaper end, right along with CenturyLink and Verizon Fios. But boy, does AT&T's unlimited data cap sure look good—and chances are you need it if you're gobbling up the interwebz at 1,000 Mbps.
Our pick for AT&T Fiber: Internet 300
Who it's good for: Got a house full of gamers? Does every member of your family have to stream Chernobyl, Stranger Things, and Star Trek: Discovery all in different rooms? We feel you, and we think the Internet 300 plan will keep those lag and buffering monsters away.
Why we picked it: Most of us don't need 300 Mbps, but if you've got home security devices, smart home tech, streaming devices, gaming platforms, cell phones, and other electronics all connected to your internet even when your entire household isn't busy gaming and streaming, you probably need the extra oomph.
This fiber plan delivers, and the 300 Mbps speed is priced lower than most. You'll pay $10 to $25 more for the same speeds with other ISPs. (Mic drop.)
TV + internet bundles
One huge perk you'll get with AT&T Internet is that bundling can actually save you money. So if you want to follow your favorite sports team throughout the season or get an earful of Gordon Ramsay's latest creative insults in Hell's Kitchen, a bundle is the way to go.
You'll have the choice of bundling your DSL or fiber internet plan with either U-verse (AT&T's proprietary TV service) or DIRECTV.
Your bundle can also include home phone service, but to keep things simple, we picked out a few of our favorite internet and TV combos to give you a clearer picture.

AT&T internet speed and data caps
AT&T internet delivers more speed than what you pay for.
If you want high-speed internet, AT&T's got you covered. But if that's a bit more power than you need, you'll find more options for low-speed plans with providers like CenturyLink, Cox, and Comcast Xfinity.

Yup, AT&T has only two slower speeds, 5 Mbps and 100 Mbps. That's its main drawback: there's nothing hiding behind door number three that might appeal to, say, a married couple who work from home, don't have kids, and stream Hulu a few times a week.
AT&T's fiber plans do add three more speeds that cater to more types of internet activities.
You've got 100 Mbps for the family that watches CBS All Access together, 300 Mbps for the roommates who game and host a LAN party every weekend, and 1,000 Mbps for the 16-year-old Twitch streamer who's aiming to win the next $3 million Fortnite championship prize.
How fast is AT&T internet, really?
Internet speed is a tricky thing. You see, you don't always get what you pay for.
But with AT&T internet, we've found that it usually delivers the speeds it advertises.
This is what the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) calls actual/advertised speed, and it's typically measured as a percentage. In the 2018 "Measuring Broadband Across America" report, the FCC analyzed all of the AT&T plans together, and AT&T scored an average actual/advertised speed of 108.9%.1
|Average actual/advertised speed score
That means, according to the FCC, AT&T over-delivered on speed and its customers zoomed along with faster internet than they paid for. Nice.
(Of course, we try to take the FCC's reports with a grain of salt. The FCC may not have analyzed AT&T internet in your area—or it may not have analyzed the plan you're eyeing. Sadly, there are gaps in the FCC's data, so we like to check out other data before we make our final verdict.)
HighSpeedInternet.com also ranked AT&T well in terms of speed. Its most recent report on the fastest internet providers in the US placed AT&T as the second-fastest in the Northeast and the West, and third-fastest in the Midwest and the South.2
|US region
|Northeast, West
|Midwest, South
Data caps
Sadly, only the Internet 1,000 plan pulls out all the stops with an unlimited data cap. All the rest of AT&T's plans are stuck with a one terabyte cap. (But if it makes you feel better, you're still leaps and bounds ahead of Viasat's [formerly Exede satellite internet] max 150 GB data cap.)
Of course, you're gonna need to do a lot of streaming and downloading to reach that one terabyte cap. A lot.
To put that in perspective, here's a list of average file sizes (plus one for fun):
|File size
|4-minute song
|2-hour movie
|Video game
|The entire Internet Archive
|45+ Petabytes (45,000,000 GB)3
If you're all about unlimited power and a terabyte of data each month just won't cut it, we won't judge.
Instead, we'll point you AT&T's Internet 1,000 plan. Or, if you tend to eat up lots of data only a few times a year (say, when family comes to visit), you can always add more data to your plan each month. That comes at an additional price, though. And you're limited to spending $100 (which gets you 500 GB) on extra data a month.
|Additional data
Data effective 8/30/2019. Offers and availability vary by location and are subject to change.
*Up to $100, or 500 GB, of additional data each month.
Fees, contracts, and equipment
AT&T scores brownie points for delivering your equipment right to your door.
You'll need to sign a one-year agreement whether you get DSL or fiber, which is kind of a bummer if you ask us. (You hate to see it, right?)
Even Comcast Xfinity offers a few no-contract options for its internet service. We love the freedom a no-contract option gives us, and we hope AT&T decides to hop on the no-contract bandwagon in the future.
Installation and termination fees
Sorry, y'all. There's no getting away from fees when it comes to internet service, with AT&T or with any other internet provider. Here's a quick overview of what AT&T might charge you.
- Installation fees: Pay a $35 activation fee if you prefer DIY installation, or call up the pros for $99.
- Early termination fee: $15 for each month left on your contract—up to a total of $180.
Equipment and fees
If you sign up for AT&T internet, you'll get a Wi-Fi gateway modem-and-router combo, so chances are you won't need your own router to set up your Wi-Fi network.
It's also really nice that you can sign up for internet service and have the equipment delivered straight to your door. A buddy of mine, Andrew, did just this while he was staying in Virginia but needed internet set up in his new house in Florida.
"They shipped the box on Monday. It came Wednesday, [and] my girlfriend hooked it up and followed the instructions. The box activated itself, and she was up and running," he says.
Imagine that: you move in and your internet is set up before you even get your mattress unloaded. Priorities, right?
AT&T internet customer service
AT&T's customer service ranks well compared to other ISPs—but that's still low overall.
Customer service always seems to be a pain point for ISPs, and AT&T is no exception. However, it does score 69 out of 100 on the 2019 American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI)—second only to Verizon Fios.4
If you need to get chummy with an AT&T rep, social media or chat may be your best option. Here's where to find them.
- Online chat
- Facebook: @ATT (hours are 6 a.m.–1 a.m. CST)
- Twitter: @ATTHelp
Recap: Is AT&T internet good?
The Internet 10–100 and AT&T Fiber plans offer good value for a competitive price.
AT&T's internet offers up some competitive pricing and quick speeds. Here's a quick recap of why you might like it.
- AT&T's DSL plans are more widely available and can reach speeds of up to 100 Mbps. If you can get 100 Mbps, the pricing is competitive. But don't forget that the DSL plans come with a 1 TB data cap—unless you bundle with TV.
- AT&T Fiber is limited to certain areas, but it's a great buy if you can get it. It comes in three speeds and the fastest plan has no data cap.
- AT&T TV and internet bundles can save you some cash and get rid of that pesky data cap. And you get to choose between DIRECTV or U-verse TV. Choices, choices . . .
Still not sure AT&T Internet is for you? Maybe our other internet reviews can help you decide.
Q: Where is AT&T Fiber available?
Right now, AT&T Fiber is available at service addresses in 21 states, mostly in the southern and midwestern US:
- Alabama
- Arkansas
- California
- Florida
- Georgia
- Illinois
- Indiana

- Ohio
- Oklahoma
- South Carolina
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Wisconsin
You can check to see if your city has AT&T Fiber on AT&T's coverage map.
Q: What is AT&T Fixed Wireless?
AT&T's fixed wireless internet service brings internet to rural areas of the US by beaming your internet connection from an antenna on your roof to a fixed location.
While fixed wireless is certainly an exciting new technology for rural areas missing out on more than one internet option—or areas with no internet options—it isn't without its downsides.
Weather and landscape, such as trees and hills, can disrupt a fixed wireless connection. And while fixed wireless will typically run you about the same as a DSL or cable connection in cost, it comes with much lower data caps.
The speeds aren't much to write home about, either. (AT&T's cap is 170 GB and speeds are 10 Mbps or faster.)
If you're stuck hitting up the library for its free Wi-Fi, we feel your pain. We recommend giving AT&T Fixed Wireless a look and checking out this list of Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) to see what's available near you.

Hi everyone.
Preloaded SDcards
I struggled for whole summer to create a collection of ready to run packages.
It took lot of time and effort. I bought the php maianpal for the store
and also struggled over the settings and configurations.
Finally I have a mini online store.
I am selling ready to run preloaded SDcards. Each link for the sdcard
Each Sdcard item description has the link to the distribution, so if you are experienced You can do it yourself.
I also thrown in couple of custom SDcards (adding packages as Qt 12, python 3, espeak, RTSP's and such)
In any case if you want a preloaded micro SDcard with R-PI Os'es here they are.
Each Sdcard burn, boot and test takes about 30 min or so. I am adding to original SDcard
price just a small amount to pay out the work I do for each burn-test. Is far of being profitable
but is a start.
Thank you for reading.

Across the school, the children worked on our mission statement to ensure that it reflected them. St. Patrick's Catholic Primary School offers distinctive education with a caring christian community where everyone can feel valued, confident and secure.
We believe that each person is gifted, unique and loved by God.
By working in partnership, we create a challenging, stimulating and effective learning environment where Christ is our inspiration.
Our children's mission statement is :
Loving, Laughing, Learning- we are God's amazing gifts
Come and See
Across the school our core curriculum is the Come and See Programme, which was established in 2012. This programme offers a wide range of activities for all children and supports staff in it's delivery. Each year group follows it's own objectives over the course of the year, which feed into the overall topics in the school. There is a shared sense of belonging in using the programme and it offers a high level of challenge and questioning for all children, whilst affording them the opportunity to explore their faith at their own level. The children in our care very much enjoy the programme. It is the programme that is shared across the Dioceses of Hallam.
Religious Life
At Saint Patrick's, our children are at the heart of all that we do as too often we are the only experience of church that they have. We endeavour therefore to show them the love God has for them and this underpins all we do as a school. Liturgy is central to all we are trying to achieve with our children and the opportunities for child led liturgy and worship afford them a variety of opportunities to explore their faith, share experiences and grow in love of self and God.
As a Catholic school we have a duty to ensure that students have the opportunity to take part in Mass on Holy Days of Obligation, to celebrate important events in the life of the school and to give students the opportunity to take part in liturgies which celebrate important aspects of the Church Calendar and which help to promote the school's Catholic identity, for instance Advent Services, Ash Wednesday Services, Penitential Services, Holy Week Liturgies, Class Masses and class collective worship.
Students are enabled to engage actively in worship and sharing the Word of God. This reinforces the importance and relevance of these within their own lives and gives them the chance to serve and minister to their peers and to staff as well. Children are also encouraged to use their gifts and talents to help the whole community of St. Patrick's to access liturgy through different media e.g. music, dance, art, drama, ICT and so on – we all learn in a variety of ways and so need to experience liturgy being presented to us in different ways. This is evident within our Come and See assemblies and Masses.
Our teaching at St. Patrick's is truly rooted within the teaching of Christ. Our religious life stretches far beyond the RE curriculum and is an integral part of daily life within school. This enables the children to develop a deep faith, respect and love of one another and helps them to understand the world around them. We will update the page throughout the year with how we live out our Faith.

The Stimulus Plan
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but didn't the rich guys have their fun already? That's a big part of the reason we're in this mess now, isn't it? Why should they continue to get bigger tax cuts while the rest of us sit high and dry?
That's what's going to happen if this gets pushed aside, or if it gets blocked until 'changes are made'. These guys want to cut out the parts that create green jobs, affordable health insurance for families in need of it...even money for education, that's needed to keep hundreds of thousands of teachers from getting laid off!
I'm not gonna hate on these corporations for needing to stay in business. My question is this: Must they do it at our expense? Is a globally recognized business with plenty of money to blow going to fall off a cliff without a boost in capital that would barely put a dent in their bottom line...really?
Our schools need it more. The argument that raising taxes is going to hurt families makes me laugh. What's going to hurt us is if we have to pay those taxes and the corporations rather than our families are the ones to benefit from it. Either way, we're likely going to have to pay more in taxes. I, for one, don't mind paying a bit more...as long as it goes to benefit the people as a whole, not just those in a higher income bracket.

The stimulus package passed in the House, without a single Repub voting for it, but it has not yet passed in the Senate, and chances don't look good as the Repubs won't play nice. They are too busy throwing a collective tantrum at the expense of what's best for this country. Go figure. The only people that should be more ashamed of themselves than the Repubs are the conservative Dems. They need to get real and become Repubs already as they are an insult to true liberals everywhere.ReplyDelete
Yeah, I realized that after I looked it up (where it stood on where and when it passed and where and when it still needs to)...which I should've done before my rant to begn with.ReplyDelete
I found some flaws in the package myself, but for the Repubs to vote against it without even trying to negotiate it is just proving to everyone how childishly they can take a Dem winning the election. We had to deal when Bush got elected/re-elected, so can they!(Pres. Obama has repeatedly tried to work with them on this and other issues).
I read today, though, that they finally did negotiate enough for a handful of Repubs to agree to vote for it...and it took some of the trimming down even I thought it needed.
It bothers me, though, that the Repubs want to take away the money for education. What, we're supposed to give more money to the rich at the expense of the nation's collective intelligence? That burns me up because it takes away from the kids.

Farata (Traditional Mauritian Name)
'Farata' the Mauritian derivative of Paratha is a kind of layered pan fried flat bread. It is part of our rich cultural heritage and is now deeply rooted in Mauritian cuisine. The best thing about Farata is that it calls for only three basic ingredients – flour, water and oil, cooked on a "tawa" (traditional Mauritian frying pan). Farata is best served warm with spicy curries as a main course.

In 33 days i become one half of a whole.
In 33 days i will begin the life long process of marriage.
Justin is my best friend. Never in my life did i allow myself to imagine someone as amazing and as perfect for me as he is. He truly is the other half of me. Without him, i am not me. I can say without a doubt that my marriage will last. Because i know something other people dont. I know not to expect perfection. i know that true love can withstand any storm. and i know that there is ALWAYS a calm after the storm.
Im not saying i am all knowing. and im very aware that Justin and i will have some fights from hell. and there will likely be a period of time, or a period of several times, that we will hate each other. but the point of marriage is to fall in love over and over again. THAT'S what makes marriage so much of an adventure. and i cannot wait to start my adventure. I cannot wait to prove all of those people who have told me i am too young to get married wrong. Those people dont have my mind. They dont have my heart. they dont feel that incredible bond that i feel with Justin. Maybe....they dont feel that bond with anyone at all.
Just food for thought.

I'd love to see an enhancement to the gradebook which would change any null grade to a zero after the due date passes, on any assignment with a due date. This helps to get students' attention when they have missing/late work, and gives them a better accounting of their current grade.
The problem with the current system is that the student either a) gets graded based on work they have submitted (late and missing work is not included) OR, b) the grade is calculated based on points earned/total points in the course, even if those assignments are not yet due.

The Honor Bowl is a nationally recognized high school football showcase. In 2018 we worked with Spirit Sox to produce custom socks for the event.

Fantastic idea for a fund raiser, not labor intensive and with real upside potential for raising meaningful dollars. Everyone loves new socks, and these look good and feel good.
January 5, 2017
Spirit wear doesn't have to just be tshirts!!!!! Last year at LAUNCH, I met Lisa with Spirit Sox USA. Sox are creative and not every school has them. I have to say, Lisa is amazing, not to mention proud of her product. Lisa always makes herself available to answer questions and help with the design elements of our sox. I LOVE the Sox, they are reinforced, comfortable and the design and colors are all woven so they will never fade. When we got them in the mail, each pair of Sox were individually packaged which I thought was a nice touch, and parents will appreciate that too! Looking forward to our next design. Thank You SPIRIT SOX USA for thinking outside the box with your sox!!
July 24, 2018
Recently I had the pleasure of working with Lisa to photograph her products and I have been very impressed by her passion, professionalism and quality of her socks. She is a true business woman who stands behind her products and she is proud of it. Lisa is smart, creative, super organized and very quick to answer any questions you may have. During the photo session we had many folks try her products and the response was amazing - they all pointed out the quality and the comfort of the socks "it feels good…" We also had 5 and 6 year old toddlers try the socks for the moment of truth without any filters 🙂 - one of them was my daughter, a kid who absolutely hates socks and cries every single morning when getting dressed to school because she does not like any socks. She did not complain at all about anything, there was no discomfort towards the toes and the kid was happy, jumping and dancing with her stylish pink socks. Again, I cannot recommend Lisa and Spirit Sox USA enough.
January 31, 2019
Such an amazing fundraising idea! Spirit Sox USA truly delivers a fantastic and unique product that everyone loves.

Working with Lisa on her Socks is amazing. You tell her your idea and she comes up with different designs you can choose from. Great product!

Allan Brown
My themes cover landscape, natural forms and women mainly in paint and ceramics.
In my landscapes and natural forms I try to achieve a kind of brooding, mysterious quality often expressed in forms emerging out of or receding into darkness suggesting something primeval.
The paintings and ceramics of women are linked to feminist issues worldwide. For centuries western artists have mostly sought to manipulate images of women to suit religious, cultural and personal needs, that is primarily as passive, submissive creatures. The premise of a whole woman has been fragmented into virgin, whore, femme fatale, dutiful wife, holy mother witch, etc. I became interested in the earliest forms of earth goddesses bound up with nature. the cycles of birth, death and regeneration, not merely nurturing but also powerful and sexual as necessary for procreation - a metaphor for modern woman. The ascent of Greek and Christian sky gods displaced the earth goddesses and heralded the subjugation of women by men with disastrous consequences to the present day. My paintings seek to subvert Christian iconography and Greek mythology. Some are humanitarian / political illustrating various forms of male control and violence perpetrated on women.
I love the versatility of clay, the direct process of hand building and experimenting with various glazes.

Green and Red Chilli Stuffed Pickle
Whenever i visit my in-laws i make sure i go to a shop that sells almost 50 varieties of Khakra . They also have pickles, masalas and almost all pantry staples that you can think of. Their Whole Chilli stuffed pickle was one my favorite buys.
I saw these chilies in the local vegetable market at Kandivali and i could not be happier. I picked up 100 grams each as i remembered watching this on Kunal Kapurs show Pickled Nation.( Yes, i watch Living Foodz all the time) I had to make it now. Came back to Pune and got a packet of K-Pra Chilli Masala Pickle and here is the recipe. These chillies are big and less spicy specially for the pickle.
Green Chillies-100 grams
Red Chillies- 100 grams
k-Pra Chilli Masala-80 grams
Salt-50 grams
Jeera-20 grams- To Temper
Whole Mustard- To Temper
Kalonji-To Temper
Oil- 1/2 cup
Take a clean bowl and add the K-Pra Masala and Salt. heat oil and temper with Mustard Seeds, Cumin and Kalonji. Mix immediately in the Masala Mix. Leave for about half hour.
Meanwhile wash and wipe each chili and slit in between, Ensure there is no moisture.
Fill in each Chillies with Masala and keep it in another bowl. Mix in the remaining masala and transfer the contents to a clean glass jar. Enjoy with Stuffed Parathas, Plai Rice and Pulao.

I think that most of you realize that you need some time away from softball during the offseason to avoid overuse injuries and mental burnout. This break also provides an opportunity for you to reconnect with your family and friends since you probably haven't been seeing much of them except when they are driving you to practices and games. But WHEN should you take a break? How long should the break be? What else should you be doing during the break?
I'm so glad you asked.
It can be tricky. More than ten days off in a row unfortunately causes you to lose a large percentage of your recent gains. For that reason, if you are entering the off-season after being injured or haven't played in a while for other reasons, I suggest that you continue with a normal training schedule. Similarly, if you just started pitching and are finally starting to get the hang of the motion, now isn't the best time to be stopping.
Last year, I had a wonderful young student who had taken a long break from pitching lessons. When she chose to come back to lessons, however, she was very determined and had gained about 13 miles per hour in a very short period of time.
Yup, that is not a typo: 13.
And she is still gaining speed.
So for this lovely young lady, I didn't recommend taking a break at the time, because it could have really stalled her amazing momentum. She was on a roll and the break might have hurt that progress.
For everyone else, you want to schedule a rest period that is anywhere from 2-4 weeks long. If your season is over and you don't plan on attending any showcases, you might want to take that break right now. If you have showcases or important camps and clinics coming up, then plan your break either immediately after they are over (I wouldn't recommend waiting if these showcases are in January) OR take a break at any point that allows you to have two weeks time to ramp up your training and therefore look great at the showcase. For example, if you have a showcase on December 14th, you could take a break from now until December 1st.
Got it?
I strongly recommend prepping for your March season beginning in January, at which point there are only about 8 weeks left until the start of the season. Starting back up in January allows you to gradually increase your pitch count, work on speed, and work on spins. If you wait any longer than that, you won't be able to address all of those areas.
Finally, you should be CROSS-TRAINING and improving your nutrition and sleep during your break. Here are some programs that I love for cross-training. They are ALL available at Beachbody on Demand for only $99 for the year (sometimes they even have a free 14-day trial).
3 Week Yoga Retreat: This is excellent for any age group. Some of my athletes actually do this program with their parents. It will challenge your balance, but will also work on the mental component of your game. 3 weeks is also a perfect amount of time for the off-season, but the workouts are not overwhelming, so you could easily continue this program in-season as well.
Shift Shop: Every year, I have clients spending wayyyyy too much money on agility training, when they could be getting all of the same benefits from doing Shift Shop. This program uses agility markers and plyometric drills to help you become more explosive. It's very challenging, but perfect for working on those quick twitch muscle fibers.
80 Day Obsession: Okay, obviously this thing is 80 Days Long. So you probably will continue into the season with this one. The reason why I love this program for pitchers is for its focus on the glutes and its use of strength slides (all pitchers should own strength slides). The glutes have to activate in a big way for you to get a strong finish at the end of your pitch, but most girls tend to be weak in this area (especially the medial glutes). This program is considered advanced but there are plenty of modifications. I was doing it when I was 9 months pregnant, so no excuses!
P90X: There is P90X, P90X2, and P90X3. Not gonna lie: I don't much care for the original P90X. X2 and X3, however, are amazing. These are also considered very advanced, but you can certainly modify.
Core De Force: This is some of my favorite cardio. For pitchers, the kicks are similar to the kicks that you should create with your left leg (if you are a righty) as you drive out towards the catcher. I also love the intensity and the way the breaks are timed. There are higher intensity intervals and lower intensity intervals in every workout.
There are other amazing programs in Beachbody On Demand, but these are the best for pitchers. I would recommend limiting any overhead motions, however, and replacing them with other exercises. For $99 for the whole year (hello! that's like one session with a personal trainer), you can't possibly go wrong.
Message me with with any questions, and if you want more great content every week, sign up for the newsletter at www.flawlessfastpitch.com.

Underground Comedy Presents: Sam Morril
Sam Morril, one of the fasting rising comics in NYC, is a nationally touring comedian widely known as one of the best joke writers on the scene today. The New York Daily News called him "one of the four funniest in New York."
Sam has been seen on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Conan, Inside Amy Schumer, @Midnight, Adam Devine's House Party, Last Comic Standing, and America's Got Talent. He also has his own Comedy Central special and album called "Class Act." Both were met with rave reviews. "Class Act" went on to be #1 on iTunes comedy specials and was ranked number 6 in The Laugh Button's review, "Best comedy albums and specials of 2015."
As popular online comedy magazine, Splitsider, says: "Morril has a knack for making the potentially unfunny very funny, while still leaving enough bleakness lingering in the void to remind us that jokes are merely coping mechanisms, not problem solvers."
When not on the road, you can see Sam regularly at The Comedy Cellar, various other clubs, and indie shows around New York City.
DC Drafthouse
Every other week Underground Comedy will bring the best young comics from around the country to DC's Drafthouse Comedy Theater.

It is styled after a black box arts theater and offers beer, wine, liquor, and some pre-packaged snacks in the lobby. There are no minimum purchase requirements for patrons and no table-side service.
This is a fully seated show. Seating is general admission. You must be 18 to enter.
