Student Bank
The Garrison Forest Business Office provides students with a safe place to keep their money. Families who wish to use this service must make an allowance deposit for the first three months allowance (at a minimum) before the start of school for student's personal expenses.
The allowance account permission form allows each family to indicate an amount of money each student can withdraw over a one month period. Personal choice plays a large part in the amount a student needs to set aside for additional expenses. Some classes and athletic programs require additional fees for materials, as do field trips and so forth. The Business Office also cashes personal checks for students.
The Business Office is located on the 2nd floor of Manor House and is open Wednesday and Friday.

I've never been a podcast enthusiast, I never listened to the radio because I just wanted to listen to music rather than people talking and hearing annoying ads. But then my favorite bloggers and YouTubers started their own shows and I decided to give it a try a couple of years ago.
Initially, I listened to my favorite podcasts on my laptop, because I found it easier to just click the play button in the embed player on the browser, but then, after consuming all my data with Spotify (I don't have Premium) during my commute, I decided it was about time to test some apps. I didn't want to pay since I didn't want to fully commit before testing all the free options. But it turned out that free podcast apps suck. They are full of ads, you can't decide where downloading the episodes (if you aren't an iPhone user you usually have the option to have an SD card with additional memory space in your smartphone), and most of the time they crash or stop playing if your screen goes on standby.
After struggling for months, I caved and I purchased Pocket Casts…the best 2,99€ I've ever spent! The app works very smoothly, no ads, you can save the downloaded episodes in your memory card, the widget is awesome, the search bar works amazingly well. The list could go on and on!
Now the podcasts. My subscription list looks long, but I don't usually listen to every single episode of every single show. I prefer to pick just the ones that interest me after reading the blurb and the show notes. My top favorites:
Tea and Tattle is a recent discovery and, well, I do listen to every single episode of this podcast because Miranda and Sophie are my favorites. I love the topics they discuss and I also love that the episodes are around 30 minutes, the perfect length for my commute.
Portrait of a Freelancer is a nice show by Ariel Bissett, my favorite booktuber. She chats about her life as a freelancer and now as an MA student.
The Lavendaire Lifestyle is the podcast by Aileen Xu, probably my favorite YouTuber ever. I have to admit that I don't care too much about the interviews because I never know the guests, I prefer the episodes where Aileen shares her own thoughts and advice.
The Minimalists show was added to my library after watching the Minimalism documentary on Netflix. Despite the length of the episodes, I really enjoy them, so many great advice.
The four podcasts above are my top favorites and I usually listen to all the episodes, the other 2 rows are all about productivity and I basically just pick the topics I really care about. What Should I Read Next is all about books and Elise Gets Crafty is probably the very first podcast I ever listened and the host, Elise, usually invites fellow creatives I know (like Ali Edwards and Emma of A Beautiful Mess). The Tolkien Professor is my dose of Middle-earth nerdiness and I can't wait to listen to his new series Exploring The Lord of the Rings. MuggleCast is the very first podcast about Harry Potter, it's been around for years but I discovered it just a couple of weeks ago, so I still have to listen to it. Finally, a couple of podcasts about LOTRO, my favorite computer game ever, to keep myself updated on all the new things and in-game events.
Not being able to afford audiobooks, podcasts have been a game changer lately. I don't listen to them only during my commute, but also when I play LOTRO or when I have some free time but I don't want to stay in front of a screen. I love this medium because the episodes are usually around 30 to 60 minutes and I can choose to learn something new or just listen to someone chatting about my favorite topics. YouTube is great for the same reasons, but I it makes me fall into the comparison trap and want to purchase expensive things (journals, geeky merch, stationery, and so on), not the best if you're trying to live a more intentional life.
Do you like podcasts? What are your favorites?

Jiaoxi is the hottest hot spring [温泉 wen chuan] destination in Taiwan. It is located in Yilan [宜蘭], about an hour drive from Taipei. While it's doable as a day trip, I highly recommend staying overnight at Jiaoxi for at least a night to fully enjoy bathing in all the wonderful hot springs! My mom loves staying at the Hotel Royal Chiao Hsi [礁溪老爺酒店]. I don't blame her. The facilities, the service, the meal plans, the environment…everything is just what the doctor ordered for a relaxing getaway. The hotel is mostly an open-space environment, with tall glass walls to let in ample sunshine.
If you're lucky enough, you may snag one of the ocean view rooms; both times my mom took me to Jiaoxi, we could only manage to get a mountain view room. Still a beautiful view: palm trees, lush rainforest, birds flying overhead.
The rooms themselves are a work of art. Hotel Royal Chiao Hsi is modeled after traditional Japanese hot spring hotels, complete with tatami beds, a tea room, and little 茶點 [cha dian], or dim sum treats. When I went in 2008, they even brought in fresh fruits to your room, daily! You're also provided with a set of yukata [浴衣 yu yi in Chinese], and sandals to wear around the hotel and to the hot springs. They used to let you bring the sandals–which are really comfy–home, but not anymore.
The central baths are wonderful too. There are outdoor [露天風呂 lu tian feng lu] and indoor baths, ranging from boiling hot water to near-freezing temperatures. My favorite thing to do is to jump from the hottest pool into the absolute coldest. It's absolutely cathartic when you feel the heat dissipating from your body–like being bandaged in Icy Hot all over (except you're hot first then cold). Showering facilities are meticulously clean, with wonderful-smelling shampoos, creams, and body washes. The ones by the pool come with small wooden buckets to pour over yourself.
If japanese hot springs aren't your thing (as you have to bathe in the nude), the swimming facilities are amazing. Giant infinity pool and hot tubs and whirpools galore! Essentially an outside water-based playground. They even have pools of the doctor fish, which are these tiny goldfish that nibble away at your callouses. I don't know if my feet were more beautiful after wading in the doctor fish pool, but it was a ton of fun to see how long I could keep my feet underwater; the nibbles tickle a lot!
Beyond that, there's a games room with pool and ping pong tables, as well as a computer lab if you want to spend your hot spring vacation surfing the internet (…why?). When I first went in 2008, the hotel offered a lot of outdoor excursions: the most memorable being crab catching at night. It cost about $25 per person–a small price to pay for a priceless experience. You're put on a shuttle bus to this serene and isolated beach somewhere in Jiaoxi (neither my mom nor I remember), given lanterns, a net, and a bucket to put the crabs in. There's a contest to see who can catch the most crabs; I forget the prize.
And no, the crabs were not for eating. We all set them back into the ocean once we tallied who had the most crabs. It was a blast! There was such diversity in the crabs we caught; tiny ones the size of my thumb to bigger ones that could cause a painful pinch. Red ones, blue ones, brown ones, gray ones. I'd never seen so many! Once we all set the crabs free, our guide ordered us to all shut off our flashlights. We were surrounded in complete darkness; no streetlights or any illumination for miles. With no buildings or mountains to obstruct our view, the sky encircled us in a snowglobe of twinkling celestial bodies. I have never seen anything as stunning or divine since that night.
There's plenty to do outside of the hotel too; I love climbing the Wufengqi Waterfall [五峰旗瀑布] and exploring downtown Jiaoxi for a lot of good snack [小吃 xiao chi] booths. Wufengqi is about a 90-minute to 2-hour hike, and totally worth it even on the muggiest day. The falls are split into 3 tiers, with the final fall being the largest and the harder one to get to.
The trail is well-maintained, albeit wet from all the spray. After a rock slide in 2009, the last section to the upper falls was closed and is yet to be reopened. When my mom and I went this past summer (2014), we jumped the railing and found that the trail was perfectly in-tact and walkable. Still, I'd recommend using common sense if it's a rainy or stormy day out.
Downtown Jiaoxi is incredibly small, but cute and full of tasty treats. Jiaoxi is famous for high-quality preserved duck eggs [鹹蛋 xian dan], scallions/green onions [蔥 cong], hot-spring tomatoes [番茄 fan qie], hot-spring mochi [麻糬 mua ji], and dried kumquats [金棗 jin zao]. Hotel Royal Chiao Hsi, however, already has an astounding selection of good eats for its lunch and breakfast buffet, as well as a beautiful kaiseki meal for dinner. All of this is already incorporated into your stay when you pay for the hotel, too!

First of all, y'all, my dining table is so messy right now. I would have put a picture up, but some of my friends are really tidy and would probably be grossed out actually seeing that I sometimes don't even put lunch dishes away until snack time. Just imagine there are two half-gnawed carrots like three inches away from this computer I'm typing on. [bc there definitely are.]
BUT I needed to at least start this post. Making space for me to be able to sit and think about things that aren't practical (in the making-our-house-run sense) is really difficult right now. I realized this morning I have a real problem with my job description.
Or, really, I have a problem with my understanding of my job. Or even what a job is. I think I'm among a large percentage of Americans whose lives have been shaped from a very young age to think about what career we will have. Which, if you look within the scope of all of human history, is fairly unique.
As I've been a full-time stay-at-home mom (albeit part-time paid staff for our church), I've had to process what it means to do the work that I do, and to begin to reorient myself away from overvaluing work that makes money. I've had to let go of feeling useless when I don't bring in money for our family, or ashamed of how little money I've made in the past year (or five. or like all my years, really). I've never had a career; I've only had a full-time, salaried job for one year of my whole life, no joke.
If I'm being honest, I feel like that sounds like I'm pretty useless. Dare I use the word I'm tempted, and really say I feel worthless? Because yeah.
But today I feel the winds of the Spirit saying I need this to be fully uprooted and thrown into the fire. Glorifying God is my job. Full stop. Following Jesus IS my job. And it's also the very best thing I can do for my marriage and my family.
Oh for sure, we could use a bit more income. It would reduce some stress (hi homebuying I DON'T LIKE YOU). But I won't feel more peace by eliminating all the situational stress in my life (also bc that's not a thing that's possible). I need to drink from the well of living water, and be satisfied in the only person who has what my heart needs. THAT is my life's job.
I'm going to start my training period at work now.

Septic and waste water
Onsite sewage management systems (OSMS)
For homes or properties in the shire that are not connected to the reticulated water system (town water and sewage), onsite sewage management systems (OSMS) are used. These include:
- Septic systems
- Secondary treatment systems such as aerated water treatment systems
- Composting toilets.
Onsite sewage management systems involve the treatment of wastewater followed by the release of liquid and solid products into the environment. If not maintained and treated properly there can be serious adverse effects and impacts:
- Spread of disease, bacteria, virus and pathogens
- Contamination of groundwater and surface water
- Degradation of soil and vegetation
- Unpleasant odours, noise and insects
Making changes to your OSMS
You can download the application forms below to make changes to your OSMS, as well as our On Site Sewage Management Code of Practice, which explains the process and requirements to help you prepare your application to Council.
- You will need Council approval to install, construct or alter a human waste treatment device.
- All OSMS are allocated a risk rating which determines the frequency of inspections. When a system is well maintained there is the opportunity to downgrade the risk rating.
- View Council's On Site Sewage Management Code of Practice
- Application to install or alter and operate an on-site sewage management system
- Application to downgrade OSMS risk rating
- Download the Easy Septic Guide from the NSW Office of Local Government's website

ODOT, Patrol urges holiday shoppers to drive cautiously
Intersection crashes increase during holidays
December 19, 2013
) – It's a fact -- intersection crashes increase during the holiday shopping season.
In an effort to bring awareness to this trend, the Ohio Department of Transportation and Ohio Department of Public Safety is partnering to remind motorists not to be distracted while driving through busy shopping corridors or anywhere in the state this holiday season.
Today, the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Ohio State Highway Patrol brought awareness to this trend by holding a media event on Ohio 117/309 on Lima's east side where a safety upgrade project is just completing.
"This project is one of the best examples of how the Ohio Department of Transportation is improving travel safety by addressing areas which, over time, become high crash areas due to business development and the increased traffic which results," said Kirk Slusher, Ohio Department of Transportation District 1 deputy director.
"Nothing will prevent all accidents from occurring, but roadway improvements, along with driver awareness and attentiveness, may help reduce the frequency of accidents," he said.
The Ohio 117/309 east of Interstate 75 had been identified as a safety/congestion location on ODOT's Highway Safety Program listing. The main issues were rear-end and angle accidents which were occurring along the route, most often at high-volume driveways and primarily during left-turn movements.
There were 13,585 crashes at intersections in Ohio during last year's holiday shopping season, killing 27 people and injuring 5,200.
To improve safety at intersections, ODOT has improved the reliability and visibility of signals by installing reflective back plates on signals and installing battery backup systems to maintain power to signals during outages, installed brighter LED signal bulbs, and installed enhanced signing at intersections.
Intersection safety is one of the major roadway safety initiatives in ODOT's "Every Move You Make, Keep it Safe" campaign.
Programs include Safe Routes to Schools, Roadway Departure Crash Reduction and Intersection Safety. The public is invited to find out more by visiting www.everymove.ohio.gov.

We are not to be the ones to remove the weeds from the crop. It is more important to focus on our growth, than to worry about the weeds. In the end, Jesus will be the one uprooting the weeds, so we need not worry of them.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. – John 1:1
Our Namesake:
Named for the Greek term meaning "word," "reason," "principle," and "logic," The Yale Logos is a semesterly journal of Christian thought that seeks to stimulate discussion of a Christian worldview in a way that is relevant, accessible, and engaging to the Yale community.
Our Story:
The Yale Logos was founded in 2009 by a group of students from different Christian traditions in Yale Students for Christ. They wanted to present Yale's campus with pieces that showcase Christian thought as beautiful and intellectually satisfying. We uphold the Nicene Creed as a baseline for Christian orthodoxy, but we have had staff from very diverse Christian backgrounds. See our constitution to learn more about our mission and doctrinal beliefs.
We believe the light of Christ– the Word made flesh– should guide our thoughts and deeds, and we want to show Yale's campus that the gospel has relevant, intellectually rigorous answers to questions they raise about life, meaning, and justice.
The Logos is published by Yale College students; neither Yale University nor its affiliates are responsible for the material herein.
Interested in what the Christian faith says about finding home and community in the church? Check out our latest issue "Discovering Home, Cultivating Community" and tell us what you think.
You should definitely check out our blog: The Word. If you like what you see (or don't) or if you would like to write for us, let us know.

College applications and deadlines are crucial. To facilitate the application process and ensure a measure of success, the following information should prove helpful.
College Admissions
Colleges vary radically in application requirements; they also vary widely in early decision, early action, and regular decision deadlines. Check all catalogues and applications for deadlines. Most Early Decision applications are due by NOV. 1; you should begin this option in August or September. In addition to the College Handbook, a number of catalogues, brochures, and applications are available in the Career Center. Remember also to go on the Internet and check school websites as a great number of colleges have on-line applications. It is your responsibility to follow the prescribed guidelines and meet all deadlines.
Application Guidelines
- It is definitely recommended that you apply to more than one school. There is no "right" number of schools to which you should apply. However, if your first choice is very selective, your second choice should be one in which you are reasonably sure you will be selected. NOTE: At some schools the competition is increasing each year because more students are better qualified. When applying, ask yourself the question: "Would I accept someone with my qualifications?" Check the typical SAT and/or ACT scores, class rank, and curriculum of students currently enrolled using the freshman class profile available in the College Handbook, Internet, or school information.
- Read the application carefully and be sure you understand the questions before you complete any part. Make a copy of the application. Write a rough draft of a copy before writing on the application. When you finish, check to be sure you have answered everything. PROOFREAD, and then have someone else proofread the final copy.
- If applying to more than one school, complete one application at a time. Be sure to answer the question(s) asked. If an essay is required, you may be able to use one essay for different colleges. Be sure to check carefully when reproducing essays; nothing is worse than putting the wrong college's name on an essay. Remember, the admission review board reads hundreds of essays daily. Make sure to catch the reader's attention; see your English teacher or me with any questions.
- The college requests a high school transcript that is a copy of your grades, G.P.A, courses, and test scores. A SCHOOL RECORD RELEASE FORM must be completed and on file before any transcript may be released. NOTE: One form may cover all institutions application is made to, if so noted on form.
- Bring the completed application with the application fee (check only) to the Academic Advisor so all information is sent together. There is less chance that part of the application will be misplaced at the admissions office if everything goes together. Completed application form and request for transcript must be made at least two weeks before it is due at the college. It is to your advantage that this information arrives well before the deadline.
- Colleges vary in their policy regarding letters of recommendations. If your choice requires academic letters of recommendations, it is the responsibility of the student to ask the faculty for the recommendation. Once you have decided who will write your recommendation, please provide those teachers with a Recommendation Request form, available in the Academic Offices, at least three weeks prior to the application deadline. Letters are to be returned to RCS and will be submitted with the application/transcript materials.
- If you apply online, you must fill out a special TRANSCRIPT REQUEST FOR ON-LINE APPLICATIONS to notify the Academic Advisor to release your records. This purple form is available in the Academic Offices.
- It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to submit all the required forms before the deadlines set by guidance as well as by the colleges. Apply as early as possible. If your application is not in the Academic Office two weeks prior to the mailing deadlines we cannot guarantee that it will go out on time. Remember – Lack of Planning on your part does not necessitate panic on mine.
- Some colleges will notify you when your application folder is complete; most will notify you if it is not complete. Since your folder will not be read and evaluated if it is incomplete, contact the admissions office if you have not heard anything one month after mailing your application.
- Remember, your applications offer you the opportunity to make a good impression or a poor one. Even the most outstanding academic and extracurricular record can make an unfavorable impression if the application is poorly written or carelessly handed.
- Please ask the Academic Advisor for assistance with the application.
- Please notify the Academic Advisor as you receive your decisions. This includes acceptances, wait-list, deferrals, denials, and grants and scholarship awards.
- Senior year does count! Most schools require a mid-year grade report that reflects the first semester senior grades. ALL colleges have a condition to their acceptance that the admission is based on maintaining the academic standards at time of admission and graduation from high school. Upon graduation, a final transcript is submitted to the college you have selected. Senioritis can be disastrous. If there is a significant difference in the academic record at the time of acceptance and the final transcript, the college may revoke acceptance. Do not let this be an option; maintain your academic integrity at all times.
The College Application Process
Most colleges accept or reject you on the basis of three main factors: your academic and extracurricular record; test scores; and subjective criteria such as essays and interviews. Choose a realistic variety of colleges, and be sure to include at least one that you're fairly certain will accept you.
After determining which schools you're going to apply to, the next step is actually requesting and filing applications. If the guidance office does not have applications for the particular school on file, write or call the school as soon as possible to request an application. You should also visit the schools' websites to check on applying or requesting applications online.
Once you have your application materials, you should make a separate folder for each school. It is also important to make a master list of deadlines. It is your responsibility to meet all deadlines! Try to get everything done ahead of time, rather than waiting until the last minute. You should make a copy of the blank applications and fill out a rough draft before completing the original. Remember to make copies of everything you send for your files.
Please request transcripts and/or recommendations from guidance or your teachers well in advance of the deadline. There are many other students requesting these materials, so the more notice you can give, the better. Also, make sure your guidance counselor is aware of the specific deadlines.
Finally, make sure you note how the college wants the materials to be sent to them (i.e., everything together in one packet, applications and transcripts separately, etc). If you would like the guidance office to send everything together for you, make sure you give sufficient notice and have everything handed in well in advance of the deadline.
Good luck to all of you!!!

There are lots of architectural designs which may be applied to doorways. But, on occasion lots of these fashions are attractive and it can be tough to select the one which will best fit your house.
It is possible to begin by assessing your existing door in addition to your own property. Many houses in the New England region feature Victorian-style homes. If you are looking for the best architecture style then you can go to this site. Homes from the Southwestern countries often feature Mission-style houses.
You may examine a number of the various architectural styles and see whether any of the elements are employed in your property. For many houses, the design is clear. Others might have had subdued influences and just incorporate a feature there or here.
A good deal of homes now, but don't contain any one specific style. Many are single- or manicured homes made to match families with no substantial elements of a layout to signify they've been affected by a style. As a result of this, you could have the ability to cross a lot of door styles because they might not mesh nicely with your own property.
By way of instance, a craftsman door might appear odd with most of the modern homes. Rustic doors seem better when compared to outside on houses that signify that log cabin-like style.
Consider any special elements you need on your door, like several lights, and understand that particular architectural designs will not include them. Doors of different styles may likewise be mimicked in various degrees – should you've got a classic rectangular doorway framework, these doors could be crossed off the list.

Namibian flag bearer arrested on suspicion off sexual assault in Rio
Namibian boxer Jonas Junius has been arrested on suspicion of a sexual assault in the Olympic Village, Rio police have confirmed.
Junius, a light-welterweight who was due to fight Hassan Amzile in the first round on Thursday, has been detained after allegedly attempting to grab and kiss a maid.
The alleged incident took place on Monday night and Junius, Namibia's flag bearer at the opening ceremony of the Olympics on Friday night, was taken to the nearest police station in Recreio for questioning.
A statement on the Rio civil police's official website said: "Recreio police said yesterday, August 7, that Jonas Junius was arrested.
"Jonas tried to grab and kiss a maid who managed to extricate herself. The incident occurred on the 11th floor of the hall in building two of the Olympic Village."
The International Boxing Association (AIBA), amateur boxing's world governing body, was aware of the incident.
A spokesman for AIBA said: "AIBA has taken note of the serious allegations towards a Namibian boxer who was due to compete at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
"We understand that the situation is being dealt with by the local Brazilian authorities and have complete confidence that they will handle the matter appropriately."
If charged, the suspect will be detained in Bangu prison, where Moroccan Hassan Saada has been held since Friday.
He was charged with attempted rape after he was alleged to have propositioned two Olympic Village cleaners, grabbing one of them, on Wednesday.

One of these days, I'll have a knock down spray booth for my shop. This is a goal7 because applying primer and paint by brush is a lot of work. It is funny though, a premium paint job completed by a professional painter will often include a final brush on coat of paint so the finish will have a hand made look to it.
I have found through this project that spraying on a finish is the preferable way to go. Getting an even coat of thick primer with as few brush marks as possible is difficult. In addition, as you can see in the photo above, to eliminate runs, I am applying primer only on horizontal surfaces (note the lower section laying on its back on the work bench).
The process is to apply primer, allow it to dry, sand it with light to moderate pressure, and then apply a second coat of primer followed with a light sanding. This process is time consuming. That is why using a sprayer would be better, I can spray a controled amount on both horizontal surfaces as well as vertical ones and achieve better results in less time.
I'll continue this process this week and hopefully have the final coat of paint on by the end of the week.

NC PRIVATE SCHOOL VOUCHERS STILL LACK ACCOUNTABILITY, TRANSPARENCY: One of the report's authors describe the study as "quasi-experimental." Caveats included in the report read more like the warnings for prescription medication than an evaluation of a government program. The goal of those who ordered up the report had little to do with an objective evaluation. What they wanted was a campaign sound-bite. Inflated statements about the report that say it shows "positive, large and statistically significant" impact of vouchers spread across the Twittersphere and other social media avenues. Citizens rightly demand that public schools meet standards and demonstrate that student are – or are not – achieving. Does it make ANY sense that millions of tax dollars should go to private schools that don't have to demonstrate that kids are learning – or even attending class? The latest report from N.C. State University tells us little about the voucher program and doesn't bring us any closer to the transparency and accountability the program needs.
VOTER ID IS BACK IN NC, AND THE JUSTIFICATIONS ARE AS LAME AS EVER: Moore called photo ID a "common sense measure to secure the integrity of our elections system." He said it's needed because "protecting our democracy should be one of lawmakers' highest priorities." Rep. John Sauls, a Lee County Republican who is a primary sponsor of the constitutional amendment, said, "Our state must not tolerate anyone's vote being threatened because lawmakers failed to prevent fraud." What a sham. For years, Republicans in North Carolina alleged that in-person fraudulent voting is rampant. Then, in April 2017, the state Board of Elections released the results of an extensive, objective audit of the 2016 election. It found that out of almost 4.8 million votes cast, one fraudulent vote probably would have been avoided with a photo voter ID law. One! If Sauls is worried about lawmakers failing to prevent fraud, he should pay more attention to Russian hacking or mail-in absentee-ballot fraud, both of which pose bigger threats than someone showing up at the polls illegitimately.
TRUMP'S TAX LAW SPECIFICALLY PREYS ON PEOPLE OF COLOR: The Trump tax law primarily benefits already wealthy people who already had access to the educational, systemic, and human resources necessary to accumulate wealth. The "Racial Wealth Gap" is the reality that the average wealth for families is much higher than for African-Americans. Our dreadful history of discrimination in housing, lending, and employment has legally obstructed the ability of African Americans to accumulate wealth over generations. The Trump tax law is expected to encourage state and local governments to add fees and fines to make up lost revenue. As Peter Edelman exposes in his new book, "Not a Crime To Be Poor," court costs, bail, fines, and incarceration for non-violent behavior all act to keep people of color in an endless loop of economic distress where great harm is done to families and communities. The Trump tax law is estimated to cost $1.9 trillion in lost revenue in the next 10 years. We have already seen that this Congress is willing to cut medical, health, and social services to offset some of their tax cuts. This is not sustainable.
HOW WE TREAT REFUGEES SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT US: New policies have capped how many refugees the U.S. will accept at 45,000 this year, down from 85,000 in 2017, and across North Carolina in 2018, agencies may see one-third of the 2,000 people who were resettled here a year ago, a number that had already dropped significantly from 2016. Most of those who have come to our state as refugees in the last decade have made their homes in Raleigh, Durham and Charlotte. Meanwhile, this country's philosophy of refugee resettlement has devolved into a scarcity model exacerbated by a dose of adult-strength stranger danger. America is, shamefully, on a path to accepting fewer refugees than at any point since 1980. "Refugee resettlement should not be a partisan issue. It's a humanity issue," said Phillips, who works in Raleigh. "These are people who are looking for safe haven and some place they can achieve self-sufficiency. The level of hateful rhetoric, the disinformation, the misinformation is hurtful to individuals as well as to the overall scope of the (resettlement) program."
IT'S ANTI-FREE MARKET TO PROP UP COAL AND NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS: President Donald Trump's fascination with coal borders on obsession — maybe that's what happens when coal barons donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to one's inauguration — and he has promised repeatedly to revive the flagging industry. Never mind that the energy market is moving away from coal in favor of cheaper and cleaner natural gas, solar and wind power. Now the administration is contemplating invoking two rarely used laws to postpone the demise of some coal-fired power plants for two years, while also propping up some nuclear power plants that were slated to be mothballed. It's a preposterous idea. Continuing to operate financially nonviable power plants and forcing grid operators to buy power they don't need or want is an unacceptable governmental intrusion into the power market that, by one analysis, would needlessly cost consumers hundreds of millions of dollars.
NEVA BARTHOLOMEW: "PRO-LIFE" SHOULD MEAN HELPING DISABLED CHILDREN LIVE: Regarding "Plan gives taxpayers' dollars to pro-life clinic, Christian hunting club" (May 30): Twelve thousand North Carolina children with severe intellectual disabilities and autism are desperately waiting for services from our state. Many are like my daughter Meg – nonverbal, sleeping only a few hours at a time and not toilet trained, even at age 14. Many have hardworking parents who are struggling with how to care for these children at home. North Carolina has a Medicaid waiver program designed to help provide services to families like mine. The goal of this waiver is to keep these children in their own homes and out of institutions. But it can't work if it's not funded, and our state legislature continues to choose other ways to spend our tax dollars. Every year, the waiting list for these services grows. Most people on the list have been waiting for several years now. This year our state legislature has chosen to provide $1.25 million to religious-based anti-abortion clinics that provide no actual health care services, only anti-abortion counseling and referrals. That's over $1 million that will not go to the 12,000 disabled children waiting for health care services. What does being pro-life mean if it is not to help disabled children and their families live productive and happy lives? If the hypocrisy of this funding plan wasn't enough, this budget was written in secret by a handful of Republican lawmakers. It's time for the term "pro-life" to truly mean better lives for children in North Carolina.
CECILIA & ROBERT WALKER: POLITICS CANNOT REPLACE HUMANITY: We are appalled at the new policy established by the Department of Justice about a way to deter and discourage potential immigrants who may be undocumented. That is the policy to take children away from parents at the border and place them in foster care with American residents. This is one of the most inhumane practices that our country has ever engaged in. It is also a policy that will negatively affect those children for the rest of their lives, as well as the parents. Some of those parents will probably never see their children again, but that will probably be called "collateral damage." Has our government lost all sense of value about people? What about the whole question of family values, when families are being disrupted in abominable ways? It is conceivable that some of those removed children will be mistreated physically, sexually and emotionally, and that is nothing but criminal. The question must be asked: Where is the justice in the development and implementing of such a policy? Forget justice; where is the humanity in this process? We are ashamed that such a policy has even been conceived by our government, much less implemented. Who will raise their official voices in protest? We find it difficult to think that no one in the government will do so. Politics cannot replace humanity, or our society will fall by the wayside, and we cannot ever be the moral compass of the world that we like to think we are.
WILLIAM DELAMAR: RELIGIOUS SCHOOL EDUCATION SHOULD NOT BE PAID FOR WITH PUBLIC DOLLARS: "Three out of four NC voucher schools fail on curriculum" (June 3) begs the question, why would our state Legislators take needed public education money from our schools to subsidize substandard schools? Schools that are not science-based and teach Biblical writings that have been disproved by science? The earth is not 6,000 years old and was not created within six days. We know that, and to teach Biblical parables as fact results in children not thinking critically and ultimately trains them to be followers and not leaders.
Accepting these schools as normal sets a dangerous precedent that unfortunately is consistent with the nationwide attack on public education that seems to be disturbingly coordinated. Many of us were raised in the Christian religion and the values taught have had a mostly positive effect on society, but teaching the literal interpretation of the Bible as part of an educational curriculum crosses the line and should not be subsidized by taxpayer dollars. If parents want their children to be indoctrinated by these schools they should pay for it out of their own pocket and not public dollars.
From the dark side
This week the News & Observer (hopefully by mistake) treats us to some Koch Brothers propaganda on school vouchers:
New research shows that the North Carolina Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP) may be working for students. N.C. State University recently released a study showing that a small sample of OSP students outperformed a matched sample of public school students in Spring 2017 on a standardized math, reading and language test. The study's results were "positive, large and statistically significant." While the study's limitations prevent the authors from directly attributing the results to the program and restrict those results only to the volunteer OSP students who participated in the study, the outcome suggests that the OSP may be making a real difference in students' academic performance.
It does not suggest anything of the sort. Catholic (private) schools only make up 10% of NC's voucher recipients, but provided 50% of the "volunteer" students tested for this report. Those Catholic schools also already use that Iowa test, meaning those students were already familiar with it. The only thing this outcome suggests is that NC State has some serious academic integrity problems, and should take a deep breath and do some self-evaluation.
The program serves economically-disadvantaged students whose parents would not be able to afford private school tuition. For these children, their new school can unlock potential that was previously hidden. Take, for example, a family in Merritt in coastal Pamlico County. Ruzalia Davis' son, a third grader, struggled for attention in an overcrowded public school classroom. Now, at his new private school, Ms. Davis' son benefits from small class sizes and has earned a place on the honor roll for the first time ever. "The Opportunity Scholarship Program has opened the door for my child to receive a better education. Truly, being awarded this scholarship has been the greatest thing for my young scholar and our family," said Davis.
"Small class sizes" is a huge understatement. The school, based in a church, has a grand total of 18 students. Not in each grade, that's the whole school. I've had this argument before and will likely have it again in the future, but anecdotal stories of extremely small, specialized schools is worse than pointless when considering state-wide reform.
But voucher proponents love to do this, because it supports the false narrative that vouchers help poor (especially black) children.
As to the reference I made about the Koch Brothers, the author of this misleading propaganda hails from the Institute of Justice based in Virginia:
The Institute for Justice has long been involved in litigation and advocacy efforts around the country that involve school privatization efforts as well as issues revolving around private property, economic liberty, and free speech.
The law firm was founded in 1991 by Clint Bolick and Chip Mellor. In the firm's early days, Bolick was known for his work opposing affirmative action legislation, and acted as one of the top strategists endeavoring to hold up the passage of the 1991 Civil Rights bill.
And, according to the New York Times, he is one of the prime architects behind school voucher plans in Milwaukee and Cleveland, which have come under intense scrutiny for no better or worse academic outcomes for its students as compared with public schools and numerous incidents of fraud and abuse of the programs.
According to the IJ's tax records, the law firm took in more than $18 million in donations during the 2012 fiscal year. Asked who funds the Institute, attorney Komer said he did not know.
"I believe, however, that 80 percent of our funding comes from individuals, and 20 percent of our funding comes from foundations…we are a 501c3, so donor lists are considered secret, or private, I think," said Komer.
According to the website SourceWatch.org as well as the IJ's own website, the Koch brothers were instrumental in providing the startup funds necessary for the Institute for Justice to get off the ground.
Another prominent funder of the Institute for Justice? The DeVos family, heirs to the Amway fortune who have poured hundreds of thousands of dollars of seed money into school privatization groups.
Wife Betsy DeVos runs the American Federation for Children, a national school privatization advocacy organization. Betsy is also known for her conservative Christian right-wing ideology and for having poured millions of dollars into promoting voucher programs across the country.
And now she's the #$%^&* Secretary of Education, which the author of this 2014 piece (Lindsay Wagner) would have told me to stop huffing paint if I predicted it was possible four years ago.

All student visa holders must have medical insurance or Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the duration of their student visa.
It is a Department of Home Affairs direction that all international students applying for a student visa must have Overseas Student Health Cover for the entire duration of their student visa.
Australian Government visa regulations require you to be certified medically fit and possibly vaccinated against some diseases before you leave your country.
The Australian High Commission or Embassy in your country can advise you on this.
Exceptions: You do not need OSHC if you are a:
• Norwegian student covered by the Norwegian National Insurance Scheme
• Swedish student covered by the National Board of Student Aid or by Kammarkollegiet
• Belgian student covered under the Reciprocal Health Care Agreement with Australia
UWA has a 'preferred provider' agreement with Allianz OSHC. UWA receives a 14% administration fee from Allianz OSHC. Students may obtain Overseas Student Health Cover from the provider of their choice.
Overseas Student Health Cover is offered by a number of providers. To obtain health cover from another insurer, please refer to Australian Education International's Study in Australia website for options available to you.
You are strongly encouraged to read the relevant health cover policy documents for information regarding what is and is not covered.
It is recommended that you have your eyes and teeth checked before departure. Dental work and spectacles are not covered under Overseas Student Health Cover and are relatively expensive in Australia. You can purchase cover for these ancillary services at an extra cost.
The University can arrange health insurance cover through Allianz OSHC for international students joining for the first time. You pay the insurance cover at the same time as your first semester tuition fee.
You can order your membership card through the Allianz OSHC website approximately two weeks after you have completed your student enrolment process.
It is the student's responsibility to ensure that their health cover is current at all times for the full length of their visa. To renew your health insurance, you must contact your health insurance provider directly. You can renew your Allianz OSHC online.
A dedicated Allianz OSHC representative is in attendance at Student Central each working day of the week.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your health insurance is current at all times. Expired health cover is a violation of your Student Visa and exposes you to potentially high medical costs.

Volkswagen AG was built on the (Type 1) Beetle. Then, in the mid 1990s, when the U.S. business was teetering on oblivion, a "New Beetle" was created as an auto-show exercise. Even the prospect of a Beetle redux was enough to drive new customers to the dealerships in the U.S., and many bought Jettas and Passats while they awaited the arrival of a fresh Beetle.
But now, VW is setting the sun on its third Beetle next year and is ushering in "The Final Edition" for sale this model year.
Volkswagen of America confirmed today that it will end production of the iconic Beetle in 2019. To celebrate the Beetle's rich heritage, two special models will join the lineup for its last model year—Final Edition SE and Final Edition SEL.
"The loss of the Beetle after three generations, over nearly seven decades, will evoke a host of emotions from the Beetle's many devoted fans," said Hinrich J. Woebcken, President and CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. "As we move to being a full-line, family-focused automaker in the U.S. and ramp up our electrification strategy with the MEB platform, there are no immediate plans to replace it. But as we have seen with the I.D. BUZZ—which is the modern and practical interpretation of the legendary Bus—I would also say, 'Never say never.' We're excited to kick off a year of celebrating one of the true icons of the automotive world, with a series of events that will culminate in the end of production in Puebla in July 2019."
The current Beetle is a vast improvement on the "New Beetle" that was introduced in 1997 as a '98 model. It was sold until 2011, compared with the original that sold between 1938 to 2003 in some global markets. The current Beetle was introduced in 2011 as a 2012 model. Far less bulbous, designers changed the profile and the roofline to make it sleeker, a bit more aggressive, and a bit closer to the original and targeted a bit more to male buyers.
The current Beetle is built in Puebla. Mexico, alongside the Jetta sedan.
VW's technical director Frank Welsch said at this year's Geneva Motor Show said this generation of Beetle would be the last. The company confirmed that this will be the final model year.
Beetle sales in the U.S. last year fell to 15,156, down from 22,667 in 2015 and 43,134 in 2013.
Volkswagen is trying to emerge from its "Dieselgate" scandal that has dented the company's reputation worldwide. VW was caught installing defeat devices on its diesel engines to make them pass emissions tests even though they would fail the standard in real-world driving. Killing off the slow-selling Beetle is part of a broader strategy to move forward and emphasize modern design and electric powertrains.
There is a trial going on this week in Germany with VW shareholders trying to get satisfaction for lost value from "Dieselgate", charging that VW top executives kept knowledge of the defeat devices secret.
Since the 1990s, VW's German management has had a conflicted relationship with the Beetle. Germans do not like to look back. And the Beetle is associated with the worst of the country's and the company's history.
Ferdinand Porsche designed the original Beetle in the 1930s in a scheme with Adolf Hitler to develop a vehicle that would be affordable to the German working class. It was the Nazi Party's Model T. Porsche had the design in progress before he hooked up with Hitler, but the Fuhrer was his bank for the project.
Some Beetles were built before World War Two, but production soon gave way to military vehicles that were based on the Beetle's platform. After the war, Volkswagen was re-started and a family of vehicles was developed off the original car–the Microbus, the Squareback wagon, the Karmann Ghia, The Thing. But by the late 1970s, emissions and safety regulations, and the Germans' desire to move on from the old-fashioned design, ended Beetle production and sales, except for building them in Mexico for developing markets in Central and South America where emissions and safety standards trailed the rest of the world.
But Volkswagen is not turning its back entirely on its nostalgia. As the company charts an aggressive course to bring electric vehicles to market, it intends to launch an EV redux of the Microbus in 2022. [Check out a video of the new Microbus here] The original Microbus, the unofficial symbol of 1960s hippy culture and rebellion, finally went out of production in 2013 in Brazil. It will come back as a fully-modern EV and be a key part in VW's strategy to put "Dieselgate" behind it.

Gamers are still angry at Capcom as they continue to wait for the company to repair an on-going problem with its free PROMO DLC for Street Fighter X Tekken. The free content promised to include twelve new characters for Playstation 3 and thirty-eight new costumes for both Sony's new handheld and PS3 console system. Gamers who purchased Street Fighter X Tekken for PS Vita received a promo code that could be redeemed via the Playstation Store.
When complaints first began to pour in, Capcom was quick to respond on their Capcom-Unity forums with an update. A fix was promised during last week's PSN update, but it did not materialize. Gamers returned to Capcom-Unity to vent their frustrations.
Capcom also offered another solution by encouraging gamers to email them at email@example.com with their PSN account information, PROMO redeem code, and the time the code was redeemed on PSN. Based on the responses posted so far on Capcom-Unity, gamers are still waiting to receive a response from Capcom. In fact, most of the complaints state that emails were sent over 2 weeks ago.
Apparently, there is a 'known' bug in Street Fighter X Tekken preventing the DLC from working. It has been mentioned that Sony will refund your PSN wallet IF you were among the many people who purchased a digital copy of the game, but this still doesn't resolve the problem for gamers who purchased physical copies. A small percentage of gamers have claimed they were able to download the DLC, but the majority are still experiencing problems.
The situation continues to simmer as gamers wait unabated for an answer from Capcom. When will they see a fix? Only Capcom knows the answer to this.

Enjoy Southern plantation-style and city living in this A. Hays Town masterpiece. Town, the prolific architect who initially designed the home, also oversaw and approved all updates and renovations to this two-owner property. Boasting over 7,000 square feet, each and every inch of this grand home has been appointed with high-end textiles and décor. From the hand-stained flooring in the formal entry to the hand-painted cabinetry found throughout, the touches and attention to detail are unparallel. Whether it's entertaining a large group in the banquet-size formal dining room or hosting a charity function for 100s, this home is built to accommodate every gathering, large or small. Architectural touches—such as the reclaimed wrought iron fence that surrounds the perimeter of the home and the fireplace and marble mantel acquired from a historic hotel in New York—are too many to mention. While you'll find old-school appointments like a butler's (2nd) kitchen, you'll also find updates like commercial appliances, flooring, and fixtures. On the lower level, is the perfect office space, complete with custom built-ins and a fireplace. The main kitchen flows into an informal country-French inspired dining area and family room that features exposed beams, brick flooring, and a fireplace. The master suite provides ample space for a glorious retreat offering a well-appointed bath with marble floors, soaking tub, shower, and built-ins. The space opens onto the garden room. The second floor of the home houses several other bedrooms, each with its own private bath while the third floor features an art studio and an additional bedroom with soaring ceilings and rustic wood charm. In addition to the primary residence there is an 832-square-foot carriage house on the property—perfect for out-of-town guests or as a mother-in-law residence. The grounds of the home are meticulously maintained and landscaped to perfection. Anyone looking for historic elegance, space, and a classic Southern mansion, will appreciate all that this home has to offer.

Blacks In Government (BIG) Conference in Atlanta, GA
The 2002 Blacks In Government (BIG) 24th Annual National Training Conference was held in Atlanta, GA, during the last week of August. Glynn Williams attended the conference as a BIG member-delegate representing the U.S. Geological Survey's Woods Hole Field Center.
BIG is in its 26th year as a public-service-employee advocacy, training, and professional-development association; it has 3.2 million African-American public-sector employees at the Federal, State, and local levels.
It was exciting to listen and to learn about changing government practices, policies, and attitudes pertaining to diversity in American institutions and the American workforce (in the private, corporate, and, especially, government sectors).
A tribute to Janice M. Scott, who was killed last September 11, 2001, at the Pentagon, was also given.
For further details, please refer to the BIG live-broadcast and replay Web site.

Menopause Home > Estrace Vaginal Cream Side Effects
Headaches, bloating, and hair loss are some of the common side effects seen with estrogen medications like Estrace Vaginal Cream. Side effects that are rare but serious include blood clots, dementia, and heart attacks. Most people actually tolerate the medication well; when Estrace Vaginal Cream side effects do occur, they are usually minor and either do not require medical attention or can be treated easily.
As with any medicine, Estrace® Vaginal Cream (estradiol vaginal cream) can cause side effects. However, not everyone who uses the medication will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Estrace Vaginal Cream. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Estrace Vaginal Cream side effects with you.)
Women sometimes assume that Estrace Vaginal Cream can only cause vaginal side effects. However, because a significant amount of the hormones in Estrace Vaginal Cream is absorbed into the bloodstream, any of the usual side effects of estrogen medications can occur with Estrace Vaginal Cream. Common side effects of estrogen medications include, but are not limited to:
- Irregular vaginal bleeding or spotting
- Abdominal (stomach) cramps or bloating
- Nausea and vomiting
- Headaches
- Breast tenderness
- Hair loss
- High blood pressure
- High blood sugar (hyperglycemia)
- Fluid retention
- Enlargement of benign tumors of the uterus (uterine fibroids)
- Vaginal yeast infections.

Often people in recovery fall into the trap of believing that in order to stay clean, they have to say goodbye to playfulness, spontaneity, and fun.
As it turns out, when you disown any aspect of yourself, you only slow down your healing.
Journalist, author, and recovering alcoholic Neil Steinberg said it well in our conversation about The Adventure of Recovery:
"if Keith Richards can create this mythos of a heroin addiction, then why can't we create a mythos of recovery? To me, recovery is an adventure. I don't want to live a dull life."
We agree. Giving up alcohol doesn't mean giving up on fun, festivity, and good cheer. On the contrary, you can enjoy yourself even more without the guilt, shame, and hangovers!Read More →
