Terms & Conditions
a) Introduction
All tailor-made tours and services can be booked directly with Sampan Travel Company Limited (hereon referred to as Sampan Travel, the Company, 'we', 'us', or 'our'). This can be done either over the phone, via Skype, or email.
b) Booking Conditions
i) Booking and Pre-payment
Payment for a holiday is required in up to two stages prior to the trip.
Once a Final Itinerary and quote has been created by Sampan Travel and approved by the client, the latter have up to 7 calendar days to make a pre-payment of 40% of the total holiday cost. Payment should be made directly via bank transfer to the Sampan Travel bank account in Myanmar or Singapore. If no payment is made within 7 calendar days, any reservations made on the behalf of the client will be dropped. In exceptional circumstances (for instance when a certain part of the holiday requires a large portion of payment up front), clients will be asked to make a pre-payment of more than 40% of the total holiday cost. When this is the case, the client will be explicitly informed of this at the outset.
It is important for clients to check all the details on their Final Itinerary before accepting and making the pre-payment. In the event of any discrepancy on the Final Itinerary please contact us immediately. Sampan Travel will make any necessary changes and send the amended Final Itinerary back to the client for their approval. On the receipt of the amended Final Itinerary, the client has once again 7 calendar days to confirm the Final Itinerary by making the pre-payment. If Sampan Travel are notified of any discrepancies after the client had confirmed the Final Itinerary and made the pre-payment, the client may be asked to pay necessary amendment charges (please see below v) Amendments by Client for details).
If a client is booking within 30 days of the commencement of the holiday, then full payment will be required.
Sampan Travel will not commence confirming your reservations until the pre-payment has been received.
A contract will come into existence on the date on which the client confirms a Final Itinerary by making the pre-payment. This states that the client is happy with the itinerary and the price per person. When the clients makes the payment they are confirming that they are at least 18 years of age and that they understand our booking conditions and have accepted them on behalf of themselves and all members of their party. All contracts with Sampan Travel are subject to these booking conditions.
Prior to the creation of the Final Itinerary and quote, Sampan Travel will require the confirmation of the members of your party and their names as scripted in their passports.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all correspondence will be sent to the email address that the client signed up to Sampan Travel with, or if the client does not have a Sampan Travel account, the address with which they originally contacted Sampan Travel, unless another contact email address has been explicitly communicated.
ii) Special Requests
Special requests, such as diet, room location, single, twin or double bedded room, a particular facility or flight seat should be indicated before the Final Itinerary is confirmed. We will pass any request on to the hotel or airline but cannot guarantee that it will be accommodated. We will also pass on any dietary requests to airlines. Sampan Travel will make every effort to ensure that special requests are met, but make no guarantees. The provision of any special request does not constitute a term of your contract with us, unless we have explicitly stated its provision in the Final Itinerary.
Sampan Travel must be made aware of any health issues that you or those traveling with you suffer from before the acceptance of the Final Itinerary and the pre-payment. In the unlikely event that we feel unable to adequately attend to the these needs, then we reserve the right to respectively decline the booking of your holiday. If we are informed of any health issues after you have confirmed the Final Itinerary, then we reserve the right to cancel the holiday and withhold the deposit.
iii) Payment and Costs
The balance is due 30 days before departure. If it is not paid in time, Sampan Travel reserve the right to cancel your travel arrangements and retain your deposit.
With regard to bank charges/fees, Sampan Travel shall absorb charges levied by our bank, whereas bank charges/fees levied by the sender's bank are to be borne by the traveller(s).
All rates are quoted net to travel agents in US Dollars prevailing rates of exchange.
The Final Itinerary will explicitly state what is and what isnt included in the quoted price of the trip. If it is not explicitly mentioned as included in the package price of the Final Itinerary, then clients are to assume that it is not covered. If unsure, it is recommend that you raise the issue with your personal Sampan Travel operative.
Sampan Travel is under no obligation to give a breakdown of the costs involved in a trip.
iv) Hotel & Flight Reservation Only Service Fees
For hotel and flight reservations only, the following flat rates apply:
Length of holiday / Charge
1 – 5 days / US$50
6-10 days / US$100
11-15 days / US$150
16-20 days / US$200
Over 20 days / US$250
Booking, Payment, Amendment and Cancellation Policy is the same for the Hotel & Flight Reservation Only Service as it is for any other Sampan Travel journey. Please see below for details.
v) Amendments by Client
Sampan Travel will make every effort to assist the client if they wish to make amendments to their holiday after the Final Itinerary has been accepted and pre-payment made. If it is possible to make the amendment and it is regarded by us as a material change (a material change includes a change of destination; the alteration of the duration of stay in a specific destination; or an addition or subtraction of a major activity. It does not include a change of flight time of less than 24 hours or other domestic transfers; nor a change of accommodation so long as both hotels in the same bracket and a deposit has not already been paid; nor a change in time of a certain activity) it will be subject to an amendment charge of US$50 per booking, together with all other expenses incurred by Sampan Travel as a result of the change. Costs are higher for the substitution of a passenger. Please see below for details. The charge of US$50 is required whether or not Sampan Travel as a result of the changes succeeds in confirming your requested amendment. Scheduled airlines normally regard name changes as a cancellation and rebooking, and any alteration may incur a 100% cancellation charge in respect of the air fare. Your request may be treated as a cancellation and re-booking and the normal cancellation charges (see below) will apply dependent upon the conditions imposed by our suppliers.
Sampan Travel will try its upmost to make any Minor Amendments to the Final Itinerary that a client may request, but it will not be regarded as a breach of contract if we are unable to make these amendments.
vi) Cancellation by the client
All cancellations must be made by email. Since Sampan Travel incur costs in cancelling your travel arrangements, the following cancellation charges will be payable, depending upon the number of days prior to departure Sampan Travel receives your notice of cancellation:
Days prior to departure / Loss of total holiday cost:
Over 30 days / 40% (or pre-payment if different)
30 – 7 days / 75%
Within 6 days / 100%
We strongly recommend that you secure adequate travel insurance, which should in most cases include cover, under certain circumstances, against loss of deposit or cancellation fees, at the time of booking.
vii) Substitution of Traveller
If someone in your party is unable to travel due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances (eg. jury service, illness, redundancy, death or serious illness of close family member) then they can be switched with someone suitable to Sampan Travel so long as:
1. We receive the request via email and are given sufficient time to make the changes. This will be determined on a case by case basis.
2. Costs incurred by us in making the changes and an administration fee of US$150 is paid
3. The new traveller agrees to be bound by Sampan Travel's terms and conditions.
viii) Amendments by Sampan Travel
After the Final Itinerary has been received and confirmed by the client, Sampan Travel makes every effort to deliver the itinerary as advertised. We plan arrangements a long time in advance of your holiday using independent suppliers such as airlines, hotels, local transport operators and guides, over whom we have no direct control. In some circumstances, Sampan Travel may have to modify a holiday before you depart. Most of these changes are minor. In such cases, Sampan Travel will notify the client of this change, but is not obliged to pay any compensation, and the minor change is not regarded as a breach of contract.
If Sampan Travel is forced to make a material change (see above v) Amendments by Client for what constitutes a material change) we will notify the client as soon as possible and send an amended Final Itinerary.
If the client is not happy with these changes, then the client has 7 calendar days in which to inform Sampan Travel of their wish to either cancel the booking, or to alter the amendment. In the case of the client wishing to cancel the booking following an amendment made by Sampan Travel for reasons other than force majeure (see below for what constitutes force majeure), Sampan Travel will return the deposit in full. Clients will receive the following compensation, calculated according to the number of days prior to departure that they are notified of the change.
Days prior to departure date / Compensation per person:
Over 30 / US$10 per person
30 – 7 / US$30 per person
Within 6 / US$50 per person
If the client informs Sampan Travel of their wish to cancel the holiday after 7 calendar days following the receipt of the amended Final Itinerary, Sampan Travel will retain the 40% pre-payment. If a client responds after 7 calendar days with an alternative amendment to replace the Sampan Travel suggested amendment, this will be treated as an original client amendment and therefore subject to the terms outlined in v) Amendments by Client. If Sampan Travel hear nothing from the client in regard to the amended Final Itinerary, then we will assume that the client is happy with the changes. Sampan Travel will continue booking the holiday, and the client will be bound by the amendment and cancellation policies outlined in v) and vi).
Force majeure are unforeseeable circumstances beyond Sampan Travel's control or the control of our suppliers, the consequence of which it is impossible for either the Company or its suppliers to avoid even with all due care. Force majeure includes but is not limited to, war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity (actual or threatened), industrial dispute, unavoidable technical problems with transport, machinery or equipment, power failure, changes imposed by rescheduling or cancellation of flights by an airline, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, flood, drought, epidemics and outbreaks of illness.
lf Sampan Travel becomes unable to provide a significant proportion of your holiday after it has commenced, every effort will be made to provide suitable alternative arrangements, which will be made for you at no extra charge (save in the case of force majeure) or, alternatively, you will be returned to your point of departure and the company will, where appropriate, pay compensation. No compensation is payable in the case of force majeure.
ix) Cancellation by Sampan Travel
We will not cancel your hotel arrangement less than 30 days before your departure date, except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance. If you fail to pay the balance of the holiday cost at least 30 days before departure, Sampan Travel will treat your booking as cancelled and retain your deposit.
If we make a cancellation before 30 days prior to the trip, unless the cancellation has been caused by force majeure, in addtion to the return of the deposit Sampan will pay you compensation as set out below:
Days prior to departure date / Compensation per person:
Over 30 / US$20 USD per person
30 - 8 / US$60 per person
7 - 0 / US$100 per person
If the journey is cancelled due to force majeure, we will attempt to refund as much of the paid monies as possible; subtractions will be made depending on fees demanded by our suppliers, and administrative fees. The administrative fees will vary from case to case; it may be as high as but will never exceed US$100 per person.
c) Liability
i) Sampan Travel's Responsibility
Sampan Travel acts as an intermediary between the local suppliers providing the services. Additional expenses incurred due to force majeure (see above to see what constitutes) must be borne by the tourists themselves. Sampan Travel strongly suggests that passengers take out adequate private travel insurance. The Company reserves the right to provide alternative accommodation or amend itineraries in response to force majeure. Sampan Travel will try to inform clients of such amendments as soon as possible, however it is not an obligation, and compensation will not be paid.
Sampan Travel will provide compensation if we or our suppliers have performed negligence that has resulted in illness, injury, loss (including loss of enjoyment), damage, cost or death. We will not provide compensation if any of the above was caused by the act / omission of acts of the client or those in their group; a third party who is not part of our arranged journey (essentially any service that does not form part of our contract); or force majeure.
If Sampan Travel are found liable for the loss or damage of any personal possession, we will pay back no more than the amount equivalent to the excess on the client's insurance policy which applies to this type of loss per person, subject to a maximum of US$250 per person. In the event that no insurance policy has been taken out, the maximum of US$250 per person shall apply.
Sampan Travel is not obliged to offer any compensation for accidents suffered or incurred that were not due to any negligence by ourselves or our employees or a result of a breach in contract.
Sampan Travel also accepts liability if you or any member of your party suffers death or personal injury as a direct result of the holiday failing to be as described in the Final Itinerary and of a reasonable standard. However, these acceptances of liability do not apply if there has been no fault on the part of Sampan Travel or its partners, agents, or suppliers and the loss, death or personal injury suffered is attributable to the client's own acts or omissions or to the acts or omissions of a third party not involved in the provision of the services which make up the holiday, or to unusual or unforeseeable circumstances or events which could not have been anticipated or avoided by Sampan or its partners, agents or suppliers even with the exercise of all due care.
Operational decisions may be taken by air carriers and airports resulting in delays, diversions or rescheduling. These decisions Sampan Travel has no control over and therefore we will not accept responsibility for them. Where, as a result of circumstances beyond our control we are obliged to amend or end a client's holiday after departure but before the completion of the holiday, Sampan Travel will not pay compensation or reimburse the client for expenses incurred. We strongly recommend that clients have adequate travel insurance for their holiday and should claim via your insurance company for any loss or damage to luggage and/or personal possessions.
When booking an additional excursion locally the client's contract is with the local company providing that excursion and not Sampan Travel. Sampan Travel has no legal liability for anything that goes wrong on such an excursion and any claim which a client might have arising out of the excursion will be against the specific local company and subject to their terms and conditions. Sampan Travel will attempt to offer advice, guidance and assistance if clients suffer death, illness or injury arising out of an activity which does not form part of the holiday with Sampan Travel, or an excursion arranged locally.
ii) Client's Responsibility
General information concerning passport, visa and health requirements are subject to change and clients must check relevant current requirements before departure. Clients will likely require a full 10 year passport to travel which is valid for six months after the date of your return. Valid tourists visas are also required and all children should travel on full passports. It is the client's responsibility to obtain all documents required for their holiday and ensure that they are in proper order. Sampan Travel will not be liable to make any refund or pay compensation if a client is unable to proceed with the itinerary as planned due to incorrect or missing personal documents.
Approximately 7 days before departure Sampan Travel will send clients their flights tickets together with any other information concerning your holiday. It is important that clients check all the details on these documents, specifically names and flight times, and contact us immediately if you have any queries. The correct timings, using the 24 hour clock system, may have been adjusted since you received the latest Final Itinerary. All timings are in local time.
Clients are responsible for checking-in for flights at the correct time. Sampan Travel cannot accept responsibility for clients missing flights as a result of late check-ins. Furthermore, credit or refunds will not be given for lost, mislaid or destroyed travel documents.
If in our opinion or that of any airline pilot, hotel manager, tour leader or other person in authority, a client's behaviour is causing damage or danger to property or persistently affecting the enjoyment of others, we reserve the right to terminate your holiday. In such a scenario, no compensation or refund will be paid.
Clients are responsible for the costs of any damage to the accommodation and/or any extra charges incurred with our suppliers during your holiday. Should clients fail to make such payment at the time the charges and/or costs are incurred, they will be liable to reimburse Sampan Travel for these and the client authorises Sampan Travel to automatically debit their credit card to the value instructed by the supplier.
iii) Complaints
Sampan Travel will provide the client with all the relevant and necessary contact details of Sampan Travel operatives for clients to use during their trip.
If clients are unhappy with any aspect of the arrangements while on holiday, they must address their complaint immediately to their personal Sampan Travel operative (or assigned substitute), who will be on call during working hours (local time) for the duration of your trip and/or to the management of the hotel or other supplier whose services are involved. Sampan Travel will do their best to rectify the situation. If the problem cannot be resolved locally and clients wish to complain, full details must be sent to Sampan Travel via email within 30 days of the completion of the holiday. Sampan Travel will do their best to investigate and reply within 28 days of receipt of the complaint.
Sampan Travel will have an open ear to any additional complaints and feedback made after the conclusion of the holiday.

- How she worked side-by-side with Wahabi scholars and physicians who seemed to shun her even in clinical contact.
- Why the religious police are so threatening and dangerous

By Mayshad Mag
Mayshad Magazine is an advocacy platform for empowerment which mainly focuses on empowering women, raising awareness and exploring a contemporary lifestyle.
What is the secret of your positive energy?
Living in a positive energetic state is a choice. I instinctively choose the positive option, the upside, the half-full and always see the good in everyone. If there were a secret I would say it begins with non-judgement and acceptance of what is unfolding each moment. I have had challenging times in my life like everyone, but if we can still face life with positivity, hope, intention and compassion then we will attract like for like energy.
Tell us about a project or an accomplishment that you consider to be the most empowering?
The most empowering accomplishment has been raising my two daughters. Now 21 and 19 they have blossomed into kind, intelligent, conscious young adults. The joy of being allowed to love, support, nurture, champion and validate them as they uncover and discover who and what they came here to be, has been and remains, a privilege. I divorced 11 years ago so realistically we have been the 'Three Musketeers' for most of their formative years.
We parents wear our medals proudly and believe we all have wonderful children, which I know is the truth. I can't even begin to explain how proud I am not only of their accomplishments but also of who they are as human beings. Their growth has been my growth; I learn from them all the time. They are like a mirror for me, I see myself in them, but with all the extras; a zillion other expressions, interpretations and ideas for everything. I am their mother, they are my daughters, and there is the platform for them to launch themselves like a rocket to embrace their own journey of growth, passion and purpose.
You launched your brand "SIRO cashmere" a special luxury tee-shirt collection. What is your inspiration while creating your designs?
My inspiration was quite selfish. I wanted to take the decision making out of my morning routine "What to wear?" I thought if there was one item of clothing, simple yet luxurious – a luxury basic – what would it be?
The answer came to me as a simple tee-shirt made from the most luxurious yarn in the world – LORO PIANA Cashmere. That's where the idea began and came to fruition after designing a capsule collection of eight tee-shirts in Monte-Carlo. I produced them in Italy using 100% LORO PIANA silk and cashmere yarn. My SIRO cashmere tee-shirts are available across 10 colours all complementing the stunning beauty of where I live on French Riviera.
How do you refuel creatively each season to deliver must-have looks?
The beauty of my simple yet luxuriously basic tee-shirt collection is exactly that – my customers choose their favourite tee-shirt shapes and order five or six at a time in all colours. It's like finding that perfect pair of jeans; once you have the tees that accentuate your best bits and skim the less popular areas, you're hooked. I wear my SIRO tees most days, all year. Businesswomen wear them under their formal outfits then slip on some sparkles to take them out to dinner. Mums drop their children at school in their SIRO and then straight on to yoga class – it's your 'best friend' – a 'take you anywhere' item in your wardrobe.
As a CEO, what is the one characteristic that you believe every leader should possess?
I believe every leader should possess intention. There should always be an aim and purpose to their leadership and goal. They should act responsibly, lead by example and set standards others will respect.
What are you doing to ensure you continue to grow and develop as a leader?
My leadership of others and myself is a priority. I strive to connect with what I know is my purpose. I have clear intentions and aim to be fully present in my life. I have faith in something much bigger than me and embrace all of life with complete passion, unconditional acceptance, joy, surrender and love.

Beautiful area to walk, the deer are beautiful...a little different from Alabama deer. I think the billboard is of Mary (as in Jesus' Mother) since it is so close to Easter. She is gorgeous. Thanx for sharing, TiffReplyDelete
She is beautiful, I would love to see a billboard like that in our City. Thank you for sharing with us!ReplyDelete
Have a great day!
Wonderful post Beth!ReplyDelete
You have such lovely place to walk! So serene and beautiful, love the deer and geese!ReplyDelete
The billboard is a site to behold. All the hustle and bustle of the city, she looks like a calm in the storm. Great post!
Love our Holy Mother on the billboard! Beautiful!ReplyDelete
I wonder if the billboard is by the same people who are putting up the billboards here in Toledo, Ohio (and my sister saw in Seattle) that say the end of the world is coming May 21. Weird!ReplyDelete
The billboard of Mary is a nice reminder that Easter is not about the bunnies and eggs, but the death and resurrection of our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS.
I love your blog.
I love it! It is so peaceful and serene among the chaos of the city! Thanks for sharing with us! karen....ReplyDelete
It is a reminder from Our Blessed Mother That Heaven awaitsReplyDelete
she is beautiful

Nine-year-old Rubi Light has all but been ruled out of the 2014 Crabbies Grand National after trainer Robbie Hennessy advised that he had disappointed over his last run out.
He went to Clonmel on February 20th for a trip over hurdles but never quite got into the race and though he ran home, it was in last spot from five runners.
A Grade One winner in his prime, he had been given an entry into the National but it now looks certain that he will bypass that, and may even be finished for the rest of the season.
Hennessy said: "He's finished now for the season. He's just not been sparking.
"He burst (a blood vessel) at Leopardstown in December, but we thought we'd give him a chance at Clonmel.
"Andrew (Lynch, jockey) said he was never travelling so we'll give him six months and get him right again.
"He had a great first run back at Gowran, but he's clearly not 100 per cent right. He'll be taken out (of the National) on Tuesday, but there's always next year."

Miss Vamp 2012 bares her fangs
Nadine Kam photos
Miss Vamp 2012, Tabatha "Tab" Sabre Brown, took her place on the winner's divan Oct. 12 at Hawaii Theatre, where she was crowned by Miss Vamp 2011, Tara Tynanes.
From the white of POW WOW Hawaii's "Blank Canvas" event, I visited the opposite end of the spectrum with a journey to the dark side and the Miss Vamp Hawaii pageant Oct. 12.
Prior to the event, I was at the Honolulu Firefighters Foundation's 3rd annual Signature Chefs Food Festival, so some there wondered why I was dressed for early Halloween in Rodarte's ribcage sequin dress, but I was happy to have occasion to wear it.
Fifteen women vied for the Miss Vamp title, which put them through the rigors of a more mainstream beauty pageant's talent and Q&A sessions ... but not quite when most of the contestants sported fangs and other accoutrements of the undead. And the usual swimsuit competition is replaced by sexy lingerie in a "Moonbathing" segment.
Judging the event staged by Camera Obscura, DJ Nocturna and Lana Saldania, were filmmaker and casting director Brent Anbe, theater director and teacher Taurie Kinoshita, and filmmaker Aaron Yamasato, who had a tough task.
Tabatha "Tab" Sabre Brown made quite an impression on the audience with a seductive vampire act (an excerpt is included in the video), and was named Miss Vamp 2012 as well as Miss Photogenic. First runner-up was "Ecstacy" Ashley Balmores, and Ai Saito was named Miss Congeniality.
Just as at a more typical beauty pageant, disappointment among non-winners was palpable. But, unlike a Miss America contestant, with a competitive shelf life of about six years, these creatures of the night have many lives ahead of them.
The timing of the competition means they all have time to recover in time to emerge on All Hallow's Eve. It's no big secret that downtown Honolulu happens to be a fertile feeding ground and the women said they find easy victims among those stumbling home from the bars.

Whether print or digital, learning outcomes should be at the center of every tool you bring into the classroom. Many edtech tools can help students study content like mathematics and history. Other tools focus on skills like reading, writing, collaboration, and digital citizenship. Decide which learning goals the tool will help you achieve and make sure you have a plan to assess whether your students are meeting these outcomes! If a site includes student performance data and academic rubrics, that can help!
2. How easy is the tool to use?
Time is a precious resource! Make sure to pick tools that are easy to use from start to finish. If it takes you and your students multiple class periods just to get started, the tool might not be worth it. Consider how accessible the tool is for you and your students. Can the tool be used on the devices in your classroom? Is it important for students to be able to log-on from the computer lab, library or at home?
We love tools that share a syllabus, rubrics, or an instructional calendar to help plan. These resources can help you figure out exactly how much time each student should spend online in order to meet his or her learning goals.
3. Is it safe for my students?
When it comes to student safety, you can never be too cautious! Make sure you understand your school's technology policy. Read the privacy policy and terms of service and make sure the learning tool handles student information in a safe and responsible way.
4. Is their support team available to help?
Asking a question and not receiving an answer can be pretty frustrating. Before making the decision to bring an new tech tool into your classroom, send the support team an e-mail or tweet and see how long it takes for them to write you back!
5. What are other teachers saying?
What better time to discover and share resources than the start of a new year! When picking technology, see what other teachers have to say. Are other teachers using the learning tool? How are they using it in their classrooms? What are common problems that you might anticipate? Remember, if you're having a hard time finding teachers to ask, search the company's name on Twitter or use the hashtags #edchat and #edtech to connect and learn from educators outside your school site or district.
6. Is it fun and engaging?
Make sure the learning tools you bring into your classrooms are fun and engaging for both your students AND yourself. If it looks dull, boring, and feels like a quiz, your students won't be engaged for long and won't stay motivated. If the teacher dashboard is packed with information and hard to read, you'll find reasons to avoid it. Pick tools that will be as fun for you to implement and maintain as it will be for your students.
Some other questions to consider: How much does it cost? Does it align with my classroom focus? Do I have access to the technical resources necessary (bandwidth, load times, compatibility with Edmodo/ Google Classrooms, installation requirements etc)?
What other questions do you think about when looking for technology to bring into the classroom? Have a tool that you're interested in trying out in the classroom? Let us know! We'd love to hear your thoughts and share your resources with our teacher community.

Book Title: Kept from You (Book 4: Tear Asunder)
Author: Nashoda Rose
Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions
Cover photo: Copyright © 2016 Wander Aguiar Photography (http://www.wanderbookclub.com)

A first kiss that changed everything.
Killian Kane.
He was the most feared guy in high-school.
Guarded. Angry. A fighter.
But when I caught him watching me with his captivating green eyes I saw something more. Something protective and kind.
He warned me to stay away from him.
I did.
Until I didn't and he kissed me. A knee weakening, body tingling kiss that left me breathless. And scared the hell out of me.
And then…
He warned me never to come near him again or next time he wouldn't let me go.
That was eleven years ago.
We aren't teenagers anymore. He has probably forgotten me. He's a famous rock star now. I'm a dance instructor with a broken dream and desperate for a job.
So, when we cross paths again I don't expect him to remember me.
He does.
And his warning eleven years ago? I'm about to find out exactly what that meant.
WOW! What a book! Second chance and a rock star romance…I couldn't have asked for anything better. Kept From You is the fourth book in the series, and it's Killian's and Savvy's chance to tell their story, and what a story it is! Killian aka Kite and Savvy have known each other since high school. They weren't friends, but they weren't enemies either. Kite had the reputation of being scary in school…fighting a lot. But, he fought for the underdogs, the kids that were bullied. Savvy wasn't really frightened of Kite; she was drawn to him. All they really shared were some words and an unforgettable kiss before Savvy left town. But, they never forgot one another.
"God, it was incredible. It was my first kiss, and I had nothing to compare it with. But it was life changing because every kiss from now on would be compared to Killian's." ~Savvy
Eleven years will pass before the two meet again, and this time they will share a lot more than a few words! Ahhh….this is such a GREAT story!
Kite and Savvy are opposites in some ways. He was dark, and she was light. However, the two did share painful pasts but in very different ways. Each had a dream that they went after. As I always say, I love dual POVs, it gives such insight to the character's thoughts. You had to have insight into Killian's character to know what made him tick. I loved discovering that he had always been drawn to Savvy.
"But her long red curls had been a beacon and I'd been the lost ship looking for a way out of the angry, stormy sea of emotions."~ Killian
He just wouldn't allow himself to have her, and as you will discover, some were very good reasons. I love his protectiveness of her. And, Savvy, I couldn't help but love and admire her. Life gave her a crap hand, but instead of wallowing in it, she was determined to make it better. She always showed people kindness even when she was in pain or suffering. I love when two characters complete each other, and these two certainly did.
The plot twists were excellent as well. Kite has a past and not a good one, and it just added to the story. I also loved the secondary characters, many from previous novels, even though this is my first book by this writer. Now, I'll be going back and reading the other books in the series until the next one comes out! I always love finding great new writers so I'm looking forward to reading more by Nashoda Rose!
Nashoda Rose is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who lives in Toronto with her assortment of pets. She writes contemporary romance with a splash of darkness, or maybe it's a tidal wave.
When she isn't writing, she can be found sitting in a field reading with her dogs at her side while her horses graze nearby. She loves interacting with her readers and chatting about her addiction—books.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, March 9 (UPI) -- Joining the demand for democracy across the Arab world, a group of United Arab Emirates leaders are calling for direct elections.
The 133 petitioners include academics, former officials, journalists and activists, participant Ahmed Mansoor told CNN.
The petition is addressed to Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, president of the federation, and the Supreme Council of the seven emirates in the U.A.E.
The group also wants the advisory Federal National Council to get legislative powers.
"The group called for a comprehensive reform of the parliamentary system of the Federal National Council, and included demands for free elections by all citizens," Mansoor said. "It also demanded reform of legislation governing the work of the Parliament to include legislative and monitoring authorities and calling for necessary constitutional amendments to ensure that."
There have been no public demonstrations in the U.A.E. so far. They are not officially banned, but police never grant permits for them.

This year I have had the amazing opportunity to participate in a few Voxer groups that have given me the nudge to pursue coding at my school. With great mentorship from Adam Welcome and Dr. Brad Gustafson I was able to really wrap my head around-do kindergartners really have the ability to code? With some visual supports from Jennifer Kloczko I jumped into research and planning.
This next month we are kicking off a 'Coding Club'. For 6-8 weeks I will get the opportunity to work with small groups of students during the day using a variety of technology tools to develop our skills in the following:
By learning to code and operate robots we will be able to:
- Create solutions for problems
- Collaborate with each other
- Develop visual spatial skills (the ability to mentally orientate, manipulate, track and rotate robots)
- Reflect on our learning
- Read and interpret visual information
- Demonstrate the safe and cooperative use of technology.
- Independently apply digital tools and resources to address a variety of tasks and problems.
- Communicate about technology using developmentally appropriate and accurate terminology
In order to get this all up and running I needed to secure:
- Space (play centers when not in use)
- Materials (we have 6 Spheros and a 'Hive' of Beebots as well as 6 iPads and a cart soon to come).
- Parent communication (we are adding a section to our blog https://packersintraining.wordpress.com/ for parents to watch our progress).
- Connection with current programs (we ran by our vocabulary with current VEX Robotic Coaches at our Intermediate, Middle and High School)
- A tentative lesson plan format and focus for the week. I also identified ISTE Standards as well as Minnesota Kindergarten Standards for linkage back to classroom learning.
- STUDENTS! Teachers are working right now to identify a few students that might enjoy developing a Spark in computer science, programing and collaborating with their peers.
My hope is to have a mini open house during conferences so parents can 'see' what we are doing. So to answer the question-YES we are Coding in Kindergarten!
