Virgin Mobile USA "Together we've made it possible. Virgin Unite has been our partner in The RE*Generation from the very beginning of developing and delivering the programme until now. It's been a true partnership. We couldn't do it without them." A unique approach While other companies are cutting back on their support for charity initiatives, in 2009, Virgin Mobile USA decided to invest more. They wanted to have a real impact on an issue that affects the community in which it operates, an initiative that would engage their customers and staff, as well as have a social impact and make a difference to the world. In addition to it being the right thing to do, they also believed that this would increase loyalty among their staff and customers. What do they support? Over two million young people in the USA face periods of homelessness every year. Forced out of their homes, often due to violence, abuse or neglect, they have to survive on the streets. Virgin Mobile USA and Virgin Unite are working together to help change these young people's lives through The RE*Generation initiative. The initiative connects organisations that support homeless young people with their peers who want to help. It's easy to get involved. People can donate money – online or by text – or volunteer their time with organisations that support homeless youth. Working with Virgin Unite "Together we've made it possible. Virgin Unite has been our partner in The RE*Generation from the very beginning of developing and delivering the programme until now. It's been a true partnership. We couldn't do it without them." - Felicia Hill, Brand Experiences and Cause Marketing, Virgin Mobile USA Impact? The RE*Generation team at Virgin Mobile USA made the Virgin Mobile Festival free to the public in exchange for an optional $10 donation to help alleviate homelessness amongst young people. It captured attention worldwide, increased awareness of the issue, and most importantly, put smiles on the faces of fans when they needed it most. A free programme which allows fans to volunteer their time at homeless youth shelters in exchange for a VIP ticket has been incorporated into all of their music sponsorships and events. Our work has: • Generated over $7 million worth of cash, volunteered time and in-kind donations for The RE*Generation since 2006, from staff, customers and external partners • Led to at least 300,000 customer actions since the start of the initiative, including volunteering and cash donations • Lobbied the US Congress to officially designate November as National Homeless Youth Awareness Month, reaching over 68 million people and increasing awareness of homelessness amongst young people issues by over a third among the target audience • Created opportunities for 2,500 young people to have the Bigger Futures they deserve, through counselling, education and employment training and support • Reached almost 35,000 homeless and at-risk young people with clothing, counselling and emergency services and supplies. • Donated over 70,000 hours of community service, nearly 20,000 hygiene kits and 1,000 pairs of shoes from Converse, through the Free.I.P. programme which allows young people the change to earn a free concert. • Donating 200,000 items of clothing to homeless young people and supported over 200,000 outreach sessions with homeless young people • Contributed to over $1 million in matched funding for YouthNoise, with more than 10 million young people reached and more than 300,000 people taking action • Delivered 900 medical visits for homeless young people Awards The National Alliance to End Homelessness honoured Virgin Mobile USA and Virgin Unite at the 2010 Private Sector Achievement Award for our efforts to combat homelessness amongst young people in the USA. The National Network for Youth, one of the most well respected advocates for homeless youth, honoured Virgin Mobile USA in 2008 with the Golden Pen Award. This annual award recognises excellence in reporting on youth issues. Here's what they are saying "I've been an advocate for homeless youth for 15 years. I've never seen so much media attention on this topic. I am very hopeful that our work will allow mainstream America to gain a better understanding of this often invisible group of young people. I remain in awe in your work in garnering greater publicity and media attention to this issue. Thank you, again, for your contribution to our work!" - Richard A. Hooks Wayman, former Senior Policy Analyst, National Alliance to End Homelessness "Virgin Unite's assistance in developing and delivering the RE*Generation initiative, and in recruiting high profile individuals such as Jewel to get behind out efforts, has been invaluable." "The private sector has to significantly step up its efforts in addressing America's social ills. Frankly, in one sense, it's just good business. Our customers expect and demand that the brands they support are socially conscious and I think in our country it is not just enough to have financially successful corporations, but we need corporations that also have a heart and a soul. We cannot let the economy be an excuse for cutting back on causes that need our attention" "The 24 hours I spent on the street through a homeless project made a profound impact on me and connected me to people in ways that I never even realised could be possible. I run a cell phone company. Our business is all about connecting people. I now realise and passionately advocate that the connection between the private sector, non-profits and government in addressing these issues is more important than ever." - Dan Schulman, former CEO, Virgin Mobile USA

The Wusthof Classic Knife blade with the serrated edgeThe wavy or serrated edge allows an easy cut through crusty food like a traditional roast and crispy bread.
The Wusthof Classic Knife blade with the hollow edge When cutting an air pocket is created between the hollow edge and the slice. This prevents the food from sticking to the blade and allows for finer slices.

Kevin Stea (dancer/actor/choreographer) talking about my book, NEVER BLEND IN, says," i'm so proud to have a part of this project. read a blurb from my interview with david here!"
David E. Watters, a graduate of Trinity College of Music, London and the Institute of Education, University of London, has worked internationally as a performer, director and educator for more than 20 years, has taughtliteracy, drama and music within a wide variety of socially and culturally diverse settings and, as a personal and professional development associate with The Pacific Institute (www.pacificinstitute.co.uk), a personal tutor, freelance writer, public speaker and founding member of NBI Associates (www.nbiassociates.co.uk), is an Equality Advocate who brings inspiration and motivation, enhances personal efficacy and encourages excellence.
As a performer he has worked for Disney, Warner Brothers, English Chamber Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Mayfield Chamber Opera amongst many others.
As a teacher, David was most recently a Head of Department in Further Education with a 100% pass rate and a fantastic progression record; students currently studying at Laban, Rose Bruford, RADA, Trinity College of Music. and working successfully within the industry – most recent success being Rachel Adedeji who reached the televised finals of X Factor 2009.
David, who regularly writes for www.ambiente.us, One Nation and Polari, has been championed by Stuart Milk, nephew of Harvey Milk and Equality Advocate, who has said: "I love your work, which is vital to show the richness of embracing and celebrating our wonderful diversity. As Harvey would say, you're bringing medicine into the world that the world needs! Thank you!"
He is an inspirational, motivational speaker who most recently shared a platform with Peter Tatchell and Stuart Milk at the 17-24-30 No to Hate Vigil in Trafalgar Square, London.
David is currently finalizing his book, Never Blend In: The Legacy of Harvey Milk which supports and is supported by The Trevor Project and the Harvey Milk Foundation.
The book sets out to highlight and challenge social perceptions of the LGBT community; to understand the causes of low self-esteem and suicide ideation felt by many LGBT individuals and, through a unique collection of inspirational interviews with well known and everyday people, to inspire and encourage the younger generation, or anyone questioning their validity, to lead a balanced, fulfilling and dignified life.
Role models from education, entertainment, law enforcement, medical and emergency services, politics, religion and sports have participated in this accessible and much needed discourse to illuminate the reader's journey of self-discovery and self- efficacy.
Openly LGBT and successful role model figures can play an enormous part in highlighting the wealth of possibilities available to young people. These people, who are successfully modeling admirable qualities and character traits such as determination, diligence, vision and consistent effort, can only serve to inspire and encourage the younger generation, or anyone questioning their validity, to lead a balanced, fulfilling and dignified life.
Notable voices in the book are Harvey's colleagues, Anne Kronenberg, Tom Ammiano and Danny Nicoletta; Equality Advocate, Stuart Milk; actors Stephen Fry, Alan Cumming and Anthony Rapp; Human Rights Campaigner, Peter Tatchell; musician Darren Hayes (Savage Garden); Sordid Lives writer Del Shores; columnist, Michael Musto; filmmaker, Parvez Sharma; actress and businesswoman, Calpernia Addams; NBA star John Amaechi; Rabbi Denise Eger, Rev. David Weekley, Lt. Daniel Choi and authors Lesléa Newman and Tom Rob Smith.
We, as a community, are under or misrepresented in the media and this impacts upon how individuals are perceived and treated by society. Positive, inspirational role models from the LGBT community can have an enormous impact on addressing this and can give hope to individuals who feel less valid and disenfranchised from society.
Most inspiring have been the "regular" people (the Scottish fireman, the Canadian concert pianist, the American professor, the South African artist or the student in Cardiff) who live with authenticity and, perhaps without realizing, are role models and inspirational figures to those whose lives they touch.
The "community" if such a thing exists is diverse but too many live in the shadows. My point, with this book, is that self worth determines our potential and that blending in is a direct result of feeling "less than", feeling ashamed of how God (whatever that means to you) made you".
Harvey Milk's legacy, for this author, is the growing number of proud LGBT individuals who refuse to live lives limited by the judgment of others.
We can be part of society without blending in. To me it means living with 100% authenticity (as Dr Phil or Oprah might say!). We shouldn't compromise our identity to be accepted and everyone regardless of sexuality or gender identity has a right to fully live.
Life need not be a self-fulfilling prophecy and by recognizing that our "truth" has been shaped through our relationships, our environment and our experiences, we can begin to change our perceptions, heighten our self-esteem and move toward our personal and professional goals with clear vision and purpose….
David's background in arts and education, combined with a solid understanding of CBT, and his passion for Equality Advocacy drive every aspect of his work as a motivational speaker, personal development facilitator and a writer.

Rogers Schools Add Chinese Programs
By: Kyle Leyenberger
Updated: October 5, 2012
Students at each of Rogers' high schools are learning to draw Chinese characters for the first time this year, but they are also learning about the country's culture.
Teacher Xiaomin Sun says it's impossible to truly understand a language if you don't know about the people who speak it, and Student Kesia Ferris says it makes the class even more interesting
"It's amazing to hear about the experiences he's had," she says. "You learn the culture and how China works and it helps you understand the people and the language better."
Ferris wants to be an Asian linguist, and was thrilled to find out her school was adding the course.
"It's a good opportunity, especially for my career choice," she says. "I'm applying to go to China or Korea next year."
Ferris might have some competition in a few years. Larson's Language Center started a new set of Mandarin classes this week, and the youngest student is just two years old. Owner Lorena Larson says it helps to teach kids languages at a young age.
"She started at home with English, here with Spanish and now she's learning a third language," Larson says. "They pick up everything quick and they don't think like adults. We are thinking always why? How come? They just listen repeat, make connections and say it."
The preschool's Spanish programs are full, and they decided to expand their Chinese.
"We started several years ago with private lessons," Larson says. "We saw more calls about Chinese we decided it was a great moment since we know several businesses in the area are opening their business in China."
Ferris hopes to be a part of that business after graduation.
"China is probably the worlds greatest contender in the global market," she says. "The three main languages will be Chinese English and Spanish, so I think it would be a good idea to learn those languages."

Arkansas Abortion Law
Arkansas now has the most restrictive abortion law in the nation and sets up the sharpest challenge to Roe vs. Wade 40 years ago. The American Civil Liberties Union says the 12-week abortion law is headed to federal court and an eventual overturn. This is an outcome one Arkansas Senator hope to avoid.
Senator Jason Rapert says, " The eyes of this nation has been on the Arkansas House of Representatives today. And the eyes of this nation has seen that people are ready for a change".
The governor's office saying it knew another override was likely, but Beebe wanted to block a law he viewed unconstitutional and costly to defend.
