Their relationship began innocently enough.
Deb was a young looking 50 year old woman, married to the same man for almost 30 years.
After raising two great kids, Deb returned to work part time in her husband's orthodontist office. She enjoyed the patients and just the general busyness of the office and being married to the boss had it's perks so she chose to work just Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Her schedule gave her the freedom to get together with friends, volunteer and take long weekends visiting her grown kids and their families. Life was good and then out of the blue she got a call from her niece.
"I'm stuck, Deb. The only dance class I could get Brittney into meets on Tuesday mornings at 9:00. I have to be at work by 8:00 and my parents are busy on Tuesdays. If she is going to take dance, I have to find another way for her to get there."
The desperation in her voice was clear. Deb understood the frustration since she knew the grandparents, her sister and brother in law, were very rigid about their schedule and most likely wouldn't flex to help out with their only grandchild. Irritated with them but feeling for the young mother, Deb found herself not only agreeing to drive the child to dance class but also to care for her until mid afternoon on Tuesdays.
Her niece, Lisa, thanked her over and over until Deb finally found an excuse to end the call. Walking past a large minor in the hallway, Deb looked at herself intently and said, "Sucker! There goes a chunk of your freedom."
That evening Deb explained the plan to her husband. Scott was a bit put out but trusted that Deb would make it work. In the end they agreed that caring for little Brittney would take up most of one of Deb's free days but she actually adored the 4 year old and soon she was
looking forward to spending time with her regularly.
The first dance lesson was scheduled for early September so Deb was up and ready when Lisa brought Brittney over early that morning. Brittney was excited about her lesson and about staying at Auntie's house.
Arriving 15 minutes early, Deb and Brittney waited in the car for the other children to arrive. Soon lots of happy little girls, including Brittney, skipped into the small dance studio. An instructor came over to take the group of children into the other room and she invited the adults to wait in the small lobby. Strollers and diaper bags took up much of the space so Deb retreated to the peaceful quiet of the coffee shop located at the other end of the small strip mall.
No sooner had she ordered her latte and sat at a table, but a tall young man entered the shop. She couldn't help but notice him since he reminded her of one of her son's friends. Sipping her drink, she began fiddling with her phone. At first she didn't even notice him standing next to her table but then he said, "Excuse me, Mrs. Nielson, you are Deb Nielson, aren't you?"
Deb looked up at his handsome face and charming smile. It took a minute to place him but then she smiled and exclaimed, "Danny Taylor! How great to see you!"
They shook hands and she invited him to sit with her. Danny was an old friend of her son from Ankara travesti middle school. It had to have been at least 12 years since she last saw him.
"It's Dan now." He said with a smile. "How's your family? How's Brian? It's been a long time."
"Yes it has. The last time I remember seeing you, you still had your braces on. Then your family moved and you and Brian lost touch. Are you back in town now?"
"Yes, I'm going to Med school to become a doctor. I always loved living here and was happy to be accepted at the university." He answered.
They exchanged small talk easily. She shared about the kid's marriages and grandkids and he shared about his family and the intensity of Medical school.
Then with a start, Deb realized the time was getting away and said, "I'm sorry. I have to go and pick up my niece. She's in a dance class and I can't be late."
Dan smiled and said, "I know, I watched you drop her off and walk down to this shop. I admit I followed you but seeing you was purely accidental. I wasn't creeping on you, I promise."
His boyish good looks disarmed her and she laughed. "I'm not concerned. It was great to run into you. I'll be sure to tell Brian that I saw you and please greet your parents for me too."
She offered her hand to him but instead he reached over and hugged her. "Of all my friends' moms, you were my favorite. I always thought you were hot."
Deb pulled away and looked at him curiously. He winked at her and squeezed her hand as she turned to go. Quickly she dismissed his comment as teasing. After all, what 28 year old, good looking guy would be interested in a 50 year old grandma?
The rest of the week flew by. Brittney called Deb a number of times to remind her of dance and their play day coming up on Tuesday. As she had a number of times before, Deb silently questioned the sanity of parents who supplied a 4 year old with a cell phone, but she couldn't blame Brittney for their stupidity. Besides, Deb really didn't mind the interruptions. The little girl was a joy to have around and with her own grandchildren living out of state, Deb especially loved spending time with her.
As she walked in to dance with Brittney the next Tuesday, Deb saw Dan standing next to his car. After delivering the little girl to her classroom, Deb walked over to him and asked, "So, are you always here on Tuesday mornings? What's up?"
Dan replied with a disarming smile, "Good morning to you, too, Mrs. Nielson. Tuesdays are my study days so I usually find a quiet coffee shop and study during the morning. Last week I guess I just picked the right one, since I found you."
Flattered but suddenly tense, Deb answered, "Are you going to show up every Tuesday? I don't think that's a good idea, Dan. You know that I'm married and I'm old enough to be your mother. So, if that's what you have in mind…"
Dan interrupted her, "I wasn't sure what I had in mind today, but I like how your mind is working!" One look at the sudden tension on her face, he continued, "Don't get worked up, I'm not going to force you into my car. I just want to spend some time with you. Coffee is great. Konya travesti More would be better but I'll settle for coffee."
His charm melted her resolve and she reasoned that coffee never hurt anyone.
For the next three Tuesdays they met in the coffee shop right at 9:05. They talked about their families, jobs, movies, politics, pets, you name it, it came up. Conversation flowed easily and they laughed often. He was charming and quite a gentleman. She was lovely and interested.
On that fateful Tuesday, Dan invited her to have dinner with him the next day. She had already told him that her husband was leaving in the morning for a conference and that she hadn't made any plans. Dan watched her face intently as she struggled to come up with a reason to say no.
Finally Deb took a deep breath and said, "I don't think that's a good idea. Having coffee on Tuesday mornings is innocent, although you know I haven't told my husband about it, but dinner feels different somehow. I appreciate the invitation but no, I don't think we should have dinner."
As usual they chatted until it was time to pick up Brittney. Dan walked her to the dance studio door and placed his hand on the small of her back. Leaning in close to her ear he said softly, "So what time should we meet for dinner tomorrow?"
Flustered and a little irritated she was interrupted by Brittney throwing her arms around her legs. "Dan, I told you no. Please respect…"
He forced a small piece of paper into her hand as he spoke over her, "Here's my number, call me with a time."
With that he confidently walked to his car, flashing a grin over his shoulder. Making sure Brittney wasn't looking, Deb made a face at him before heading to her car. Well, I guess dinner wouldn't hurt, she thought. Of course deep down she knew it very well could.
As he knew she would, Deb called him and they set up a time and place to meet. She wouldn't allow him to pick her up but Dan still felt he had won a battle of wills. At 7:00 on the dot he stood in the lobby of a local Italian restaurant watching for her. He recognized her car and was sure to hold the door for her.
Deb had insisted that they go someplace casual but, Dan noticed, she was dressed elegantly in a simple black dress with a low back. The skirt flared out but was plenty long and the neckline kept her cleavage hidden. She chose it because it was conservative but still looked great.
Dan wore black dress pants, a blue shirt and tie and a leather coat. Deb thought he looked like a young business man but much sexier. She blushed as the thought entered her mind and then tried unsuccessfully to dismiss it.
Their table was soon ready and Dan ordered a bottle of wine. Soon Deb had relaxed enough that they were talking and laughing comfortably. Dan leaned over often to touch her hand or bump her knee. His behavior concerned her at first but soon excited her as the wine took effect and she relaxed. His company was charming, dinner was wonderful and dessert was sinful.
As they left the restaurant Dan suggested that they walk around the quaint downtown area for a while. It was an especially nice İzmir travesti evening and Deb agreed. Passing through a beautifully lit park they stopped to admire the view over the river. A few couples stood nearby, holding hands, snuggling close and kissing.
Dan reached out to put his arm around Deb and leaned over to kiss her. In a moment of weakness, Deb responded and slipped her arms around him, under his coat. She lifted her face to meet his and kissed him gently. Warm, soft kisses became harder and longer as their tongues began a sweet slow dance. For long minutes they stood together allowing the inevitable to happen. How long they kissed, Deb didn't know, but she knew they had crossed a line and that she wouldn't stop him from going farther.
After a while, Dan moved Deb until she faced the river and he pressed into her back, his arms tightly circling her waist. He whispered softly in her ear about all the things he would love to do with her. As if in a dream she listened and allowed him to mold his body to hers. Feeling his hard cock against her almost brought her back to reality but his voice was hypnotic in her ear and frankly, it had been so long since a man pursued her so aggressively. There was something so animalistic and primal about him that she couldn't stop herself from moving forward.
In silent agreement they walked hand in hand to his car. He held the door for her and quickly got in his side. Taking her hand and kissing it, he asked, "Do you want to come to my place or should we go to yours?"
Startled, Deb answered quickly, "No, no we can't do that. I guess we should go to yours."
Dan drove to his loft apartment close to the University. They quickly ran up the two flights of steps and entered his place. He was suddenly and unexpectedly a little shy and offered her a tour. She said no by throwing herself into his arms which caused him to lose his balance and they tumbled onto the couch. They both laughed at the comedic domino effect but then he took advantage of their position and began to kiss her lips again.
Flat on his back with Deb laying directly on top of him, they kissed for long minutes. His hand reached down to slide up under her dress and he buried a finger in the elastic top of her thigh high. He growled a low tone as he fingered her leg and relished in the silky feel.
His lips moved to her neck as she threw back her head and offered herself to him. He moved his other hand to her neck and slowly began to explore downward. Deb reached back and unzipped her dress before getting up to slip out of it. It fell to the floor, uncovering her beautiful body. His breath caught as he took in the amazing sight of her in her thigh highs, lacy panties and matching bra. She was more beautiful than he could have ever imagined and as he reached for her he hoped he would measure up to her expectations.
Deb stood before him, mostly naked, wanting to see him too. She took both of his hands and pulled lightly, knowing she couldn't pull him up but wanting him to offer himself to her too. He stood and together they stripped him to his briefs and socks. His young body was so hard and perfect, she stood in awe of him and hoped that she would measure up to his expectations.
Dan gathered her in his arms and kissed her deeply. "You are so beautiful," he whispered.
A sigh was all she could manage before she allowed him to lead her into his bedroom.
Part 2 to follow.

Discipleship Pathway + Strandz
We have partnered with Discipleship Pathway, a creative initiative from the Nelson Diocese, to put together digital leadership training for children and families ministry leaders across Aotearoa New Zealand.
We unpack a key value of Strandz in each class, and discuss how the church can empower children and families to be hope bearers and kingdom changers in the world. Each class is made up of short, simple, creative, fun and engaging modules, and are presented by some of the most experienced children's ministry leaders we know. These videos are great for those starting out in kids ministry, if you'd like a refresh on a particular topic, or want to dig deep into a topic that you're interested in. We hope you love them as much as we do. |
Who's it for?
Our classes can be viewed as soon as you're signed up and enrolled through the Discipleship Pathway website. You're free to watch them by yourself, or gather a small group or ministry team together to view and discuss them together. We'd encourage you to consider who else could join you on this learning journey, as we often learn better in community. Ask yourself, 'What is God saying to me through this module?' and 'What can I do about it?'
These videos are created for our Anglican Churches in New Zealand, but are available for any church or denomination to use, both in NZ and further afield.

How much does it cost?
It's free! Thanks St John's College Trust for funding this awesome project.
Child and Family Theology
In this class, we'll explore how best to reflect God in the way we see children, care for them and support their faith. Annette Osborne equips the Church to weave faith into the lives of our children, as a wider church whānau, on a journey of following Jesus together.
Modules in this class
Intergenerational Communities
Growing up in an intergenerational faith community is the best way for us to form faith, as we journey alongside other ages and generations in discovering who Jesus is. As we create space for children and young people to authentically belong in our faith communities, we ensure they are wrapped up in a welcoming, loving and accepting church whānau, who provide opportunities for all generations to worship, serve and seek God together.
Modules in this class
Whānau on mission
As we look at the life of Jesus, we read so many stories of his ministry taking place outside the walls of the church. In this Whānau on Mission class, Greta Greenwood unpacks how children and families can step into a God given adventure in their local communities, as they love and serve the neighbourhoods they are already planted in. We'll explore ways to share our faith, have fun, care for creation, and be people of generosity and gratitude, and more - as part of a whole-hearted community.
Modules in this class
Partnering with Families
How do we come alongside families to help form faith in the home? More than starting a new programme or trying to juggle church and children, Partnering with Families is about discipleship woven into the fabric of everyday lives. In this class, Cath McVey gets to talk about her two favourite things: children and mission! With experience in teaching, ministry and raising a family in Aotearoa, she shares how to support families in faith formation and develop rhythms of discipleship in the home. Enjoy a balanced perspective from someone who's done the hard yards.

The best pregnancy tests for under £10
This page contains affiliate links, which means we may earn a small amount of money if a reader clicks through and makes a purchase. All our articles and reviews are written independently by the Netmums editorial team.
Having a child can be an expensive business, so it's worth looking for budget options from the start, and that starts with taking a pregnancy test!
Although you could (and should!) go to your GP when you think you might be pregnant, it's worth doing a quick test at home first to make sure.
Cheaper tests have fewer features, but are still accurate (usually around 99%) and typically give results within three to four minutes.
Good luck!
1. Clearblue Fast and Easy pregnancy test £8.99
*Results appear in just two minutes
*Over 99% accurate results
*You can use this test five days early
The Clearblue brand is a well-known name in pregnancy testing, hence the higer price for just one test.The absorbent tip turns pink to help you sample correctly and clear plus (+) or minus (-) results appear in just 2 minutes. This test gives 99% accurate results from the day your period is due and is so sensitive you can test up to five days before your missed period.
2. SureSign Pregnancy Test Strips 2 pack, £0.72
*For early detection of a pregnancy

3. Boots Pregnancy Test 2 pack, £3.34
*An easy to use twin pack of tests
*Results are over 99% accurate
*You can get results in three minutes
An alternative to pricier pregnancy tests, this two-pack from the high street chemists offers great value and as it's often offered as part of a Boots 3-for-2 promotion, so can sometimes cost even less than the RRP.

*Test up to 4 days before your period is due.
*Has one step, easy to read results.

5. One Step® Pregnancy test kit £2.95
*One step midstream pregnancy test
*Results appear in three minutes
*Can be used four days before your period is due
This is a highly sensitive test that can be used midstream and is used widely by the NHS. All you need to do is remove the cap and pee straight onto the test stick.

Despite Corey Maggette only spending one year at Duke University before the 1999 draft, he set a lot a future trends that continue to this day in Durham. Now more than 20 years after he was on campus, Maggette's name once again comes up as the new season gets ready to start.
Why is Maggette's name in the news? There is another talented freshman on campus from the Chicago area this year, and even though they do not have too many similarities in playing style, it shows off the pipeline of players from the Windy City. Maggette started the trend, as he was the first to show that going from the Midwest to North Carolina was a smart move.
Maggette to Steward: 20 years of success with Chicago kids
Since the 1980s, Mike Krzyzewski has shown that he is not afraid to recruit nationally with his basketball team. It was fully on display in the 1986 season, as the starting lineup came from areas like California, Arizona, Washington DC, and more.
Despite landing players from all over, Krzyzewski never found a strong footing in the Windy City when pursuing top talent. Maggette changed all that when picking Duke over nearly every single blue blood program in the country. Considered by some to be the best overall prospect in his class, it was a huge surprise that Krzyzewski was able to lure him away from all the competition.
Chicago has always had a reputation as being one of the hotbeds for basketball in the country. As a native of the city himself, Krzyzewski always knew that he wanted to land as many top prospects from some of the big schools in the Chicago area to start building great relationships. That all started with Maggette, and it indirectly led to several other players.
After Maggette, players such as John Scheyer, Jalil Okafor, Jabari Parker, and more took the chance and moved to Durham. Some of the most successful teams in the last 20 years have had Chicago players as a prominent part of the team. Is DJ Steward the next in line?
Healing from Whitney Young High School, which is the same school as Okafor, Steward comes in with high expectations. It just so happens that he transferred to Whitney Young high school after first going to Fenwick High School, which is the alma mater of Maggette. Having players to look up to locally certainly played a role in helping him decide on Duke, but he also focused on making the right decision for himself.
The shooting guard is considered a fringe one and done type of player at this point, but a lot will depend on how he plays during the season. NBA scouts believe that he will have the chance to contribute at a high-level at some point in the NBA, but it remains to be seen if he stays more than one year.
Maggette to Durham, but not for long
A lot of the players from Chicago in recent years have moved to Durham, but only for a short amount of time. When it comes to landing top prospects, they tend only to last one year on campus before the NBA calls. Well before the one and done rule actually became a thing, Maggette was ahead of the curve and shocked a lot of people when he declared for the draft after one year.
Everyone from the fans to Mike Krzyzewski himself were not exactly happy with Maggette's original decision, but it has turned into the norm in a lot of ways. The coaching staff has embraced it, the casual basketball fan has embraced it, and just about everyone knows that if a player is very successful at the college level, they will probably leave after that year. read more
Is Steward planning on just one season in Durham before jumping to the next level? At this point, people are not sure how many years he will hang around. He has the skill level and the body to play in the NBA at some point, but it depends on how much he puts it together.
Recent players from Chicago who have only spent one year in Durham were marked as one and done players before even arriving on campus. There was very little they could do to mess up the buzz around them, and they ended up having great seasons for Duke as well. Steward figures to be more of a role player instead of a dominant force, but Maggette knew he would have his opportunity to shine with the ball in his hands so often.
Continuing a tradition
Former players like Maggette take a lot of pride in seeing younger talent from Chicago pick Duke. With so many programs in the Midwest lacking the same level of consistency, Chicago area players are opening up their recruitment nationally. It always helps a little bit when southern schools offer kids growing up in colder weather, as warmer climates always seem a bit more comfortable during basketball season.
Stewart is hoping that he can have a great career with Duke. One can imagine that former Duke players like Maggette will definitely have their eye out on the current representative from the Windy City. Krzyzewski will continue to search for the best players in the United States, but there is always something a little cooler for him when he brings in players from his home city.

When the cake, flowers, decorations and day is gone, what will be left? Your photos. Your leather-bound wedding album that will be around for decades. Yes, the de- tails are important, but don't skimp on your wedding photo- graphs. They will be what captures how the entire day un- folds, the expression of your husband as he sees you for the first time, the flower girl taking a nap on the pew, your mother crying as you say your vows, the beautiful decorations you put so much time into and the gor- geous dress that you spent hours picking out. Your wedding will be beautiful. Make sure your pictures match. Please don't hesitate to call me, email me, text me or even facebook me, to ask how I can help. I pride myself in quality work, pro- fessionalism during my weddings and making the day flow as smoothly as possible. I want to be your wedding photog- rapher. Katy
Meet Katy I am a mother of two, wife, gardening enthusiast, lover of all things chocolate, coffee and traveling, and Owner of Charizma Photography. I work full time as a wedding, portrait and newborn photographer out of Oshkosh, WI. I started informally photographing weddings and por- traits in 2006-2007 and continued to work hard at learn- ing the trade, taking workshops, attending WPPI (Las Vegas) and upgrading equipment. This year, we opened a 3600 square foot studio to better accomodate our cli- ent's and our studio needs. To date, I have around 170 weddings, under my belt, as both a lead photographer and assistant photographer. Our studio is located in Oshkosh, WI, at 708 Oregon St. (Between Inner Sun Yoga Studio and The Salvation Army Store) Appointments can be made via phone or email.

Q: How far in advance do you typically book? FAQs A: I typically like to have a couple booked 8 months to a year before their wedding. Dates are not held until a contract and a non-refundable retainer have been sub- mitted. Q: Does your assistant photographer shoot pictures as well? A: Yes. They take candids, reception photos and ceremony pictures. I photograph all of the portraits, family pictures, and creative images. This allows me to have full control over how your images look, and my assistant can focus on helping me light and set up the pictures. The assistant photographers who regularily assist me, are photographers and most of them own their own photography companies. You can be assured that they have excellent wedding photography experience. Q: Do you sub-contract other photographers to shoot your weddings? A: No. I do photograph all of the weddings that I contract with. The only exception would be for illness, acts of God, or causes beyond my control. This is addressed in my contract. To date, no other photographer has had to take over any of my con- tracts. Q: When should I expect to see my pictures? A: Engagment photos are sent out 2-3 weeks after your session. Weddings take ap- proximately 6-7 weeks. All images are provided on a fash drive with a "Permission to Print" form. Q: We have a limited schedule on the wedding day. How much time do you need for pictures? A: We take pictures the entire time we are with you, however, for formal pictures with your family, we usually like to have 45 minutes. After family pictures are done, we do like to have around 2 hours for wedding party photos, and the cou- ple's pictures alone. This is something I do discuss when we meet to talk about your schedule. This time allows for traveling from place to place. We work quick- ly, but we always appreciate a healthy time frame so we can do our job properly :) If you feel you will not have this much time, please contact me and we can work out a plan. Q: Do you provide a picture list? Or is that something we need to make? If so, what should that include? A: I don't like to follow a canned list for the whole day, but it is much more eff- cient if we can work off of a list for family photos. If I know what relatives (names are a huge help) need to be in which pictures, I can call them out and have them ready to go. If you have any specifc images in mind (creative images, portraits, etc,) that you would really like to see, please add them on the list and label them "special requests". We do our best to capture everything, but we will inform you if we are unable to photograph something. (hint: pulling lists off the internet, last minute, usually won't help us. Please contact us if you need help putting this together). I am always happy to help! Q: Do you give discounts for ________? A: No. Given the amount of time, equipment, insurance, experience, expenses and knowledge we put forth for each client, and the very limited number of weddings we take on, we are unable to discount wedding services. Q: Do you accept credit cards for wedding payments? A: I am unable to process full wedding payment via credit card, due to high fees. We accept check or cash for wedding collections.
the Wedding Day Schedule Planning your big day can be a huge challenge and it is something we re- ceive tons of questions on. What is the best time frame to allow for all of the desired pictures, and still leave time to party and enjoy our guests? Over several years of weddings, we have noted several things that must be mentioned, in order to plan your day effciently. 1. Think about when you want pictures to start. Our suggestion is to wait until the last hour of the salon, or when you arrive at the ceremony ven- ue, to have us start. Pictures of you being laced up into your dress, put- ting on your jewelry and your bridesmaids ooohing and ahhing over you, are most often the kind of pre-ceremony images most cherished. Detail pic- tures are also important, and we like to take pictures of the dress, shoes and rings before they are put on. 2. Plan time for travel. We used to see plenty of itinerarys with the cere- mony ending at 3pm and the park pictures starting at 3:05. Unless you plan on teleporting, we defnitely suggest planning out your route on a gps, or maps app. 20 minutes of driving, one way, can throw your whole sched- ule off by 40 minutes and make you late for dinner and possibly run into scheduling issues and extra fees with your limo service. We are more than happy to help you plan this out, and wedding consultations are encouraged before the big day. I never say no to a Starbucks date with my clients! 3. Plan a half hour, after dinner, for sunset pictures. We love evening light, especially during the summer. You can't beat the colorful sky, cool- er tempertures and a few minutes of quiet, after you have been surrounded by family and friends all day. Have your personal attendant ready with face powder, lip gloss and a bottle of water. Freshening up is often needed by the reception time. 4. Leave an hour of time, where you can leave your wedding party in the limo, or at the bar/reception, so you can focus on pictures of just you two. Many times, we have run into issues with energetic members of the wedding party, purposely distracting the couple, the groom, the bride, all in good fun. To really provide an excellent array of timeless photos, of just you two, we love having uninterrupted time to work.
Engagement Sessions
Engagement Sessions are a great time to get to know me, and how I work, and a chance for me to get to know you and how you interact as a couple. photos are taken at a location of your choice and include up to 2 hours of shooting time. Past clients have incorporated themes, or concepts, into their sessions and have an absolute blast showing off the results to friends and family. Some couples have a favorite town where they met, went to college, or grew up together. Many times, we travel for engagement sessions and en- courage you to think of places that might be special to you. Madison, Milwaukee, Steven's Point, Hay- ward, Appleton, Green Bay and many more, are all cities we have traveled to for sessions. Farms, art museums, abandoned houses, the capitol, gardens, whatever you prefer, are possibilities. a family session is encouraged, if you have started your family and want to make sure your child, or children, are included. as a child and baby photographer, I love working with them and hope to make them comfortable in front of the camera be- fore the big wedding day. They often love to view the images on the back of the camera and make me chase them around to get a great picture. Sessions are scheduled 2-12 months before the wedding day, and images are fnished, and sent, within 2-3 weeks. Digital fles are included with permission to Print.

I don't know how I managed to miss thanking my photographer. Especially after what a fantastic job you and Amber did! Dennis and I are thrilled with our pictures. We had a perfect wedding day, and are really happy with the photos we'll have to look back on and remember for years to come. Also, thank you for all you did on the day of the wedding.

Reducing obesity in pre-school children: Implementation and Effectiveness of the HENRY Programme, Luton, UK
Davidson, RosemaryIssue Date
Childhood obesity
Show full item recordAbstract
The HENRY Programme trains Early Years Practitioners (suitable for Health Visitors, Midwives, Children's Centre workers, Nutritionists, Dieticians and Childminders) usually based in Children's Centres to facilitate groups with families and carers of 0 to 5 year olds. The eight week programme (2.5 hours per week) builds upon mutual support and praise, with families and facilitators working together to focus on factors known to be associated with later obesity. The approach is based on behaviour change and self management techniques. The study design is a process and outcome evaluation using a mixed method approach. The process evaluation aims to understand how and why the intervention was adopted, drivers and barriers to implementation and the role of context. With respect to HENRY this will involve semi-structured interviews with families, staff and stakeholders at agreed time points throughout the delivery of the HENRY Programme, and observations of staff training and HENRY sessions and settings.

Brent's award-winning Civic Centre opened in 2013, replacing the former headquarters at Brent Town Hall. The building attracts thousands of visitors each year who come to speak to customer services, get married, register births and deaths, study, socialise and more.
>As one of the greenest public buildings in the country, it uses 70% less energy, saving money and protecting the environment, and it brings all our services under one roof.
Since the building first opened, we have been regularly checking how people use the building to ensure it continues to be a welcoming space creating a positive experience for all visitors.
Customer Access review
Since the Covid pandemic, more residents access our services online and face-to-face support is being prioritised for residents with the most complex need.
In 2021, we launched a review to improve the way customers and residents access our services in the Civic Centre to respond to the changing needs of those using the building.
We received feedback from over 500 residents, staff focus groups, workshops and surveys.
As a result of this consultation, we will be making some changes to the building to improve the customer experience.
The key layout changes
The redesign will see changes to Wembley Library, the Customer Services Centre on the ground floor and the mezzanine floors.
The benefits will include:
- A new Welcome Desk to help visitors and customers get to the right place
- A new welcoming main entrance to the building on Exhibition Way by Sainsbury
- Fully utilised customer-facing spaces equipped with self-help screens
- A repurposed mezzanine floor with a flexible and multi-use enclosed Children's Library, more study spaces and an expanded Brent Hub - this will create a better service for our customers, partners and all staff from libraries, customer services and hubs who will be able to work more collaboratively
- A private Family Room for confidential meetings
- Improved temperature control in the Atrium
- The building will be more accessible for visitors with wheelchairs, pushchairs, and complex needs
- A dedicated digital area to support residents and visitors
As part of the project, office spaces will also be rented out to other organisations, bringing in additional income that we can put back into protecting our frontline services.
The project will cost £2million. This project will pay for itself in the long term with greater customer experience and additional income.
Building work will begin in summer 2023 and is scheduled to be completed by December 2023. Thank you in advance for your patience and we apologise for any inconvenience caused in the meantime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are you running?
Because Sacramento isn't working for regular people and it's time to shake things up. It works for the big donors, special interests and career politicians – but it doesn't work for the average Californian. As a mayor of a local city, I see this first hand – we get slogans from politicians, we get press releases from Sacramento, we even get blamed for problems they started – but we don't get results.
Here's just one example – California has the highest percentage of unsheltered homeless in America – and we need to tackle this problem statewide. The Sacramento politicians keep blaming the local cities for the problem – but the cities didn't close the mental hospitals, the cities didn't take away the funds we once had to build affordable housing, the cities didn't decide to take away funds for roads and transit we need to support new housing, the cities didn't starve the money we need for job training, drug treatment and other services. The state did that. And if we want to solve the problem – the state needs to do that.
I can't think of a bigger wake up call to Sacramento than to see one of their own defeated by a people-powered campaign. It will really, and truly shake things up when they see that they can't get away with business as usual anymore – when they see that the people are demanding more than promises – we are demanding solutions.
What will be your top 3 priorities if you are elected?
Reducing homelessness, making our state safer from crime and addressing traffic gridlock, which contributes so much to environmental damage.
Housing and Homelessness
What is your plan for homelessness?
Invest in mental health, drug treatment, supportive housing and affordable housing – and then require that people use that housing once it is available. We know the answers – we are just not delivering.
We need both long-term and short-term solutions to truly address this issue. Short-term we need to look at navigation centers, mental health treatment programs like the MAT program in Rhode Island. There they have a comprehensive program that includes full drug treatment and more than 90% of program participants are staying clean and staying off the streets. I'd like to see California pursue a similar model.
Long-term we need to focus on building housing people can afford where it makes sense. We'll continue to see people back on the streets without supportive services for those who experience chronic homelessness. By helping our neighbors into shelter and providing them with job training and placement, mental health support, and other services, we can help them take their lives back. We have been focusing almost exclusively on building permanent homes for the homeless that are very, very expensive. We also need to build more safe and decent shelter options. Of course we need to build more affordable housing of all types. It's that simple. In the State Assembly I'll work with local communities to build more, and more affordable housing. And I'll make sure it's next to existing transit so we don't increase traffic.
Do you support rent control?
I support protecting tenants in the most effective way possible – and that is not state-mandated rent control.
I am running for office in large part to help address our serious housing crisis. And we need real solutions – starting with millions more homes and the basic infrastructure like better transit to support those homes. The solution to a scarcity of homes is more homes.
Unwise rent control is basically a form of rationing – and study after study says it backfires in numerous ways. First, it takes units off the market. It means fewer new units are built. And it locks people into homes – so you have cases where high-wage doctors, lawyers and computer programmers are in rent-controlled units and teachers, nurses, and janitors can't find any place to live.
If it worked – I could see supporting it. But it just doesn't work.
Do you support SB9, SB10, or SB423?
The recent housing laws passed down from Sacramento essentially allow for-profit developers to build whatever they want, wherever they want – even potentially in our once-protected coastal zones if SB 423 becomes law. I believe that citizens have a right to speak out about what gets built in their neighborhoods, or even right next door to them.
I certainly agree that we need more affordable housing all over California – but developers and Sacramento politicians should work with local communities to build housing where it makes sense.
Would you support eliminating single-family zoning in California?
First of all – we don't really have single family zoning anymore in California. Almost everywhere homeowners can add secondary units by right.
What I don't support is bulldozing neighborhoods all over California so developers can build whatever they want. The developers gave politicians millions of dollars – and what they got back was a blank check to essentially destroy our neighborhoods for their profit. That needs to end.
Do you support Proposition 13
Do you support any changes to CEQA?
Health Care
Do you support a single-payer/Medicare health care system in California?
I support a public option that would allow any Californian who wants the ability to buy into our state's Medicare system to do so. If single payer works – it will work in the marketplace and it will grow, become more efficient and be chosen by families and companies as the healthcare system of choice. I support the option and choice – not a mandate from Sacramento. Additionally, there's no funding mechanism outside of new taxes I can't support.
Transportation and Infrastructure
Do you support Governor Newsom's new plan for high-speed rail?
What is your position on charter schools?
Do you support expanding early childhood education?
Public Health and Safety
Do you support holding people who are diagnosed with mental illness against their will?
Do you support the implementation of supervised injection sites?
Do you support a woman's right to choose?
Do you support gun control?
Do you support and will you protect union members' right to strike?
Do you support collective bargaining for workers?
