Hi everyone!
We are Meghan and Cadence, and we teach in the School to Community classroom at LCVI! This is a great group that is comprised of high-schooled aged students with a diverse range of learning abilities.
We really love teaching this group! It offers a lot of opportunity to interact with a wide range of teaching staff including teaching aids, interpreters, OTs, and other Queen's students. Every week we are greeted with smiling faces of students who are eager to learn!
We tend to use a lot of visual aids for these lessons as we have learned that the students respond best to this type of a presentation. We try to blend lots of different media platforms such as PowerPoints, videos and pictures. We also break up our lessons with a lot of activities both verbal, written and interactive! We have found it best to plan a 3-4 activities to spread throughout the lesson to maintain the student's attention and ensure they are retaining the information.
So far we have covered a lot of general topics including nutrition, bullying, social media, physical activity, healthy relationships, and personal hygiene. We are excited to continue on teaching about substance use and abuse, sexual education including puberty, reproduction, contraceptive use and STIs.
It is so exciting to see how what we are teaching is being retained based on the worksheets they hand in and their insightful question box questions! They are getting more active in our discussions every week and their curiosity continues to grow!
We are so happy to be a part of QHO and be able to give back to our community in this way. We hope we can continue to make an impact in student's lives over the coming weeks!
A big big thank you to the classroom teacher, Sharon and all of her support staff! They have made our transition into the classroom a huge success and their feedback is always appreciated!

6 Popular Ways to Do Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting has been very trendy in recent years.
It's claimed to cause weight loss, improve metabolic health, and perhaps even extend lifespan.
Not surprisingly given the popularity, several different types or methods of intermittent fasting have been created.
Every method can be effective, but figuring out which one works best depends on the individual.
Here are 6 popular ways to do intermittent fasting.
1. The 16/8 Method: Fast for 16 Hours Each Day
The 16/8 Method involves fasting every day for 14 to16 hours and restricting your daily "eating window" to 8-10 hours.
Within the eating window, you can fit in 2, 3, or more meals.
This method is also known as the Leangains protocol and was popularized by fitness expert Martin Berkhan.
Doing this method of fasting can actually be as simple as not eating anything after dinner and skipping breakfast.
For example, if you finish your last meal at 8 p.m. and don't eat until noon the next day, you're technically fasting for 16 hours.
It's generally recommended that women only fast 14-15 hours, because they seem to do better with slightly shorter fasts.
For people who get hungry in the morning and like to eat breakfast, this method may be hard to get used to at first. However, many breakfast skippers actually instinctively eat this way.
You can drink water, coffee, and other noncaloric beverages during the fast, which can help reduce feelings of hunger.
It's very important to primarily eat healthy foods during your eating window. This method won't work if you eat lots of junk food or an excessive number of calories.
The 16/8 method involves daily fasts of 16 hours for men and 14-15 hours for women. Each day you'll restrict your eating to an 8- to 10-hour "eating window" where you can fit in 2, 3, or more meals.
2. The 5:2 Diet: Fast for 2 Days Per Week
The 5:2 diet involves eating normally 5 days of the week while restricting calories to 500-600 for two days out of the week.
This diet is also called The Fast Diet and was popularized by British journalist Michael Mosley.
On the fasting days, it's recommended that women eat 500 calories and men eat 600 calories.
For example, you might eat normally every day of the week except Mondays and Thursdays. For those two days, you eat two small meals (250 calories per meal for women and 300 calories for men).
As critics correctly point out, there are no studies testing the 5:2 diet itself, but there are plenty of studies on the benefits of intermittent fasting.
The 5:2 diet, or the Fast diet, involves eating 500-600 calories for two days out of the week and eating normally the other 5 days.
3. Eat-Stop-Eat: Do a 24-Hour Fast, Once or Twice a Week
Eat-Stop-Eat involves a 24-hour fast, either once or twice per week.
This method was popularized by fitness expert Brad Pilon and has been quite popular for a few years.
By fasting from dinner one day to dinner the next day, this amounts to a full 24-hour fast.
For example, if you finish dinner at 7 p.m. Monday and don't eat until dinner at 7 p.m. the next day, you've just done a full 24-hour fast.
You can also fast from breakfast to breakfast or lunch to lunch. The end result is the same.
Water, coffee, and other noncaloric beverages are allowed during the fast, but no solid foods are permitted.
If you're doing this to lose weight, it's very important that you eat normally during the eating periods. As in, eat the same amount of food as if you hadn't been fasting at all.
The potential downside of this method is that a full 24-hour fast may be fairly difficult for many people.
However, you don't need to go all-in right away. Starting with 14-16 hours and then moving upward from there is fine.
I've personally done this a few times. I found the first part of the fast very easy, but in the last few hours, I became ravenously hungry.
I needed to apply some serious self-discipline to finish the full 24 hours, and I often found myself giving up and eating dinner a bit earlier.
Eat-Stop-Eat is an intermittent fasting program with one or two 24-hour fasts per week.
4. Alternate-Day Fasting: Fast Every Other Day
Alternate-day fasting means fasting every other day.
There are several different versions of this method. Some of them allow about 500 calories during the fasting days.
Many of the lab studies showing health benefits of intermittent fasting used some version of this method.
A full fast every other day can seem rather extreme, so it's not recommended for beginners.
With this method, you will be going to bed very hungry several times per week, which is not very pleasant and probably unsustainable in the long term.
Alternate-day fasting means fasting every other day, either by not eating anything or only eating a few hundred calories.
5. The Warrior Diet: Fast During the Day, Eat a Huge Meal at Night
The Warrior Diet was popularized by fitness expert Ori Hofmekler.
It involves eating small amounts of raw fruits and vegetables during the day and eating one huge meal at night.
Basically, you "fast" all day and "feast" at night within a 4-hour eating window.
The Warrior Diet was one of the first popular "diets" to include a form of intermittent fasting.
This diet also emphasizes food choices that are quite similar to a paleo diet — whole, unprocessed foods that resemble what they looked like in nature.
The Warrior Diet is about eating only small amounts of vegetables and fruits during the day and eating one huge meal at night.
6. Spontaneous Meal Skipping: Skip Meals When Convenient
You don't actually need to follow a structured intermittent fasting plan to reap some of the benefits.
Another option is to simply skip meals from time to time, such as when you don't feel hungry or are too busy to cook and eat.
It's a myth that people need to eat every few hours or they'll hit "starvation mode" or lose muscle.
The human body is well equipped to handle long periods of famine, let alone missing one or two meals from time to time.
So, if you're really not hungry one day, skip breakfast and just eat a healthy lunch and dinner. Or, if you're traveling somewhere and can't find anything you want to eat, do a short fast.
Skipping one or two meals when you feel inclined to do so is basically a spontaneous intermittent fast.
Just make sure to eat healthy foods during the other meals.
Another more "natural" way to do intermittent fasting is to simply skip one or two meals when you don't feel hungry or don't have time to eat.
The Bottom Line
There are a lot of people getting great results with some of these methods.
Intermittent fasting is not for everyone. It's not something that anyone needs to do. It's just another tool in the toolbox that can be useful for some people.
Some also believe that it may not be as beneficial for women as men. It may also not be a recommended choice for people who have or are prone to eating disorders.
If you decide to try intermittent fasting, keep in mind that you need to eat healthy as well.
It's not possible to binge on junk foods during the eating periods and expect to lose weight and improve health.
Calories still count, and food quality is still absolutely crucial.

Ocean Warming Threatens Coral Reefs and Soon Could Make It Harder to Restore Them
By Shawna Foo
Anyone who's tending a garden right now knows what extreme heat can do to plants. Heat is also a concern for an important form of underwater gardening: growing corals and "outplanting," or transplanting them to restore damaged reefs.
Coral Gardening
Coral reefs support over 25% of marine life by providing food, shelter and a place for fish and other organisms to reproduce and raise young. Today, ocean warming driven by climate change is stressing reefs worldwide.

Rising ocean temperatures cause bleaching events – episodes in which corals expel the algae that live inside them and provide the corals with most of their food, as well as their vibrant colors. When corals lose their algae, they become less resistant to stressors such as disease and eventually may die.

Hundreds of organizations worldwide are working to restore damaged coral reefs by growing thousands of small coral fragments in nurseries, which may be onshore in laboratories or in the ocean near degraded reefs. Then scuba divers physically plant them at restoration sites.

Sea surface temperatures on Aug. 3, 2020, measured from satellites. Warning = possible bleaching; Alert Level 1 = significant bleaching likely; Alert Level 2 = severe bleaching and significant mortality likely. NOAA Coral Reef Watch
Warmer Oceans
Climate scientists project that the oceans will warm up to 3˚C by the year 2100. Scientists are working to create coral outplants that can better survive increases in temperature, which could help to increase restoration success in the future.

When coral restoration experts choose where to outplant, they typically consider what's on the seafloor, algae that could smother coral, predators that eat coral and the presence of fish. Our study shows that using temperature data and other information collected remotely from airplanes and satellites could help to optimize this process. Remote sensing, which scientists have used to study coral reefs for almost 40 years, can provide information on much larger scales than water surveys.

Coral reefs face an uncertain future and may not recover naturally from human-caused climate change. Conserving them will require reducing greenhouse gas emissions, protecting key habitats and actively restoring reefs. I hope that our research on temperature will help increase coral outplant survival and restoration success.

Indigenous Peoples Hold the Past and Future of Food in Their Hands
By Alejandro Argumedo
August 9 is the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples – a celebration of the uniqueness of the traditions of Quechua, Huli, Zapotec, and thousands of other cultures, but also of the universality of potatoes, bananas, beans, and the rest of the foods that nourish the world. These crops did not arise out of thin air. They were domesticated over thousands of years, and continue to be nurtured, by Indigenous people. On this day we give thanks to these cultures for the diversity of our food.

How a Small North Carolina Community Is Pushing Back on Pollution
By Isabella Garcia
On Thanksgiving Day 2019, right after Caroline Laur had finished giving thanks for her home, a neighbor at church told her that a company had submitted permit requests to build an asphalt plant in their community. The plans indicated the plant would be 250 feet from Laur's backdoor.
Grassroots Resistance
The plant that would threaten Laur's health and home was awaiting the approval of an air permit by the North Carolina Department of Air Quality which, if approved, would basically greenlight the project. "This made me get out and go door to door," Laur says. One by one, she alerted her neighbors to the prospect of the asphalt plant. "I got to meet some of my neighbors I never knew before," she says. "There's no secret that there has always been a pretty strong line between the White community and the Black community here." In the end, three neighbors joined her efforts—the Rev. Bryon Shoffner, Anita Foust, and Bill Compton. Together, they formed the Anderson Community Group to advocate for environmental justice in their community.

"We are all the four corners of the community," Laur says with a laugh. "You've got a sick old White lady, Rev. Shoffner is a disabled vet, you've got Anita, who is a Black woman, and you've got a White, old country farmer. We all come from different faiths, but we've all come together as one."

Suddenly thrust into activism, the group contacted the North Carolina Environmental Justice Network, a coalition that provides resources and connections with other groups. "We advocate, we organize, and we assist communities with whatever actions they are thinking of trying to protect themselves," says Naeema Muhammad, the network's co-director. Muhammad met with the activists from Anderson and recognized their need for legal advice, so she connected them with the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. The legal resources were key when the group determined that the data from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's environmental justice report wasn't adding up.

The report—a requirement for all DEQ permit requests—stated that the Anderson community was 33% minority. That seemed far too low to the residents, so the Anderson Community Group did a census of each house within a 1-mile radius of the proposed plant—the same radius considered in the DEQ's environmental justice report.

"Rev. Shoffner went out into the community and did his own survey and found out that it was more than 70% minority," Laur says. "That was huge, because that changed the situation to a Title VI matter." Title VI is a federal civil rights law that prevents people from being discriminated against on the grounds of race, color, or national origin. Title VI cases require a more rigorous and comprehensive environmental justice report, so recognizing the Anderson community as a Title VI matter increases the strength of their request for a more in-depth report.

The massive difference in race demographics comes down to census data, Laur says. The DEQ was using race data from the 2010 census, which was only completed by about 64% of the population of Caswell County—the county where Anderson is located. Laur says the Anderson population response rate could be even lower because the community is considered "hard-to-count" by the U.S. Census Bureau.

"The people who don't fill it out are rural people who want to keep their land and don't want zoning and minorities," Laur says, which creates skewed race demographics. The Anderson Community Group said that when they brought up this issue with the director of North Carolina DEQ, he said he was aware of the problem.

"So that tells me that all the EJ reports in North Carolina that have been done may not even be valid, just like ours," Laur says. "We were told that we are the first [community members] who have ever doubted it and checked it out."

Elevating Voices
Determined to have new data collected, the Anderson Community Group rallied in early 2020. After learning from the state Department of Air Quality, the department responsible for approving or rejecting the asphalt air permit, that 100 statements of concern from community members would be sufficient to trigger a public hearing, the Anderson group gathered letters of concern from their community. They submitted more than 108.

"Then we were told there wasn't enough concern to have a public hearing," Laur says. "So, we started inundating the [Department of Air Quality director with emails and phone calls from the community."

Finally, in February 2020, the DEQ declared a public comment period for the issue, effectively placing the air permit for the asphalt plant on hold until a public hearing August 3. The public hearing will be held online because of COVID-19, but Laur says most people in Anderson don't own computers, and won't be able to attend. When the community group filed a complaint regarding accessibility, the DEQ then allowed public comments to be submitted via voicemail.

"Well, we don't have a cell tower out here," Laur says. She has personally never been able to use her cellphone in her home, and even her landline phone drops calls frequently. Even being able to afford a landline is a luxury in Anderson, Laur says.

The IFN also hosts community food tasting events featuring prominent Indigenous chefs.

7. First Peoples Worldwide (International)
First Peoples Worldwide was founded by Cherokee social entrepreneur Rebecca Adamson to help businesses to align with First Peoples' rights. Now a part of the University of Colorado's Center for Ethics and Social Responsibility, First Peoples Worldwide continues to ensure that Indigenous voices are at the forefront of decision-making processes affecting their own self-determination. The organization works with businesses and institutions to assess their investments and guide them in incorporating Indigenous Peoples' rights and interests into their business decisions.

8. Indigikitchen (North America)
Mariah Gladstone's Indigikitchen uses Native foods as resistance. Her cooking videos offer healthy, creative ways to eat pre-contact, Indigenous foods. The recipes abstain from highly-processed grains, dairy, and sugar, ingredients that did not become standard in diets of the Americas until European colonization. Indigikitchen hopes that its recipes inspire Indigenous cooks to connect with Native foods.

9. Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative (North America)
The Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative at the University of Arkansas provides model policies for Tribal governments to help promote and protect food sovereignty. They also co-organize the Native Farm Bill Coalition with the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, the Intertribal Agriculture Council, and the National Congress of American Indians. The Initiative hosts annual Native Youth in Food and Agriculture Leadership Summits, where American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian youth can learn about agricultural business, land stewardship, agricultural law, and more.

10. Indigenous Food Systems Network (North America)
The Indigenous Food Systems Network (IFSN) is a convener of Indigenous food producers, researchers, and policymakers across the 98 Indigenous nations of Canada.

Can Cities Go Zero-Waste? One Japanese Town Tried
By Olivia Sullivan
One of the many unfortunate outcomes of the coronavirus pandemic has been the quick and obvious increase in single-use plastic products. After COVID-19 arrived in the United States, many grocery stores prohibited customers from using reusable bags, coffee shops banned reusable mugs, and takeout food with plastic forks and knives became the new normal.
Kamikatsu, Japan. Yuki Shimazu / CC BY-SA 2.0
This reveals a worldwide truth: Even products made mostly from easily recyclable materials like paper, aluminum or cardboard can't be sorted and recycled if they contain plastic components that can't be separated.

The truth is, some materials simply aren't recyclable, and only 9% of all the plastic ever created has been recycled. As Kamikatsu's residents have painstakingly proven, no matter how many categories consumers sort their waste into or how diligently they scrub down their plastic food containers, most plastics cannot be recycled.

Meanwhile we keep hearing the industry-driven narrative that recycling can stop plastic from choking our marine life or littering our natural places. That's intentionally misleading.

Around the world, as in Kamikatsu, plastic is everywhere. With excessive amounts of plastic products and packaging stocked on store shelves, it's clear that zero-waste goals cannot be achieved by consumers alone. Plastic is not a "zero waste" material, so in order to achieve zero waste, companies must stop making so much plastic.

Marine debris collected at Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. NOAA
We can achieve that. The first steps include banning some of the worst and most polluting single-use plastics, placing a pause on the development of new plastics facilities, and protecting state and local governments' ability to enact more stringent regulations.

We must also shift the paradigm by holding producers responsible for the waste they create. By requiring new plastic products to contain recycled plastic and making producers fund the collection and recycling of plastic products, producers would be incentivized to design longer lasting products that can actually be reused and recycled.

These goals — outlined in numerous scientific studies and advocacy reports — have some forward motion. In the United States, a federal bill was recently introduced in both the House and the Senate, the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act. If passed this bill — or others like it on the local, state or national levels — could help move the world beyond single-use plastics and make that needed systemic change a reality.

The bill hasn't moved forward since it was introduced this past February, but the world is still on a deadline. A recent study published in the journal Science looked at rising levels of plastic production and said "coordinated global action is urgently needed to reduce plastic consumption, increase rates of reuse, waste collection and recycling, expand safe disposal systems and accelerate innovation in the plastic value chain."

Requiring producers to stop making nonrecyclable products designed to be thrown out is the first step toward achieving that goal. Only then will Kamikatsu and other towns, cities and countries around the world finally be able to eliminate plastic pollution and reach 100% zero waste.

The opinions expressed above are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of The Revelator, the Center for Biological Diversity or their employees.

Olivia Sullivan is a zero waste associate with the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (U.S. PIRG) working on a campaign to move the United States beyond plastic.

According to Cato's biographer Cornelius Nepos, the Origins consisted of seven books. Book I was the history of the founding and kings of Rome. Books II and III covered the origins of major Italian city and gave the work its title

I'm part of Coachme Elementor, where we organize high quality webinars for both starters, intermediate users and agencies. Whereas I mostly operate in English, currently the webinars are in German.
Would you like me to make a quick video tutorial about something related to Elementor? A setting, a workflow, or a custom CSS trick? As long as it's not about a third party theme (Astra, Ocean WP, etc.) or third party addons for Elementor except the ones I have already made tutorials about, or which are listed in this post, feel free to send me a request. You can read here why I don't do third party theme tutorials. Please note that requesting a tutorial doesn't automatically mean that I'll actually make that tutorial, and if I say "yes", it's not guaranteed that I'll do that right away.
I individually teach WordPress and Elementor Pro in conjunction with Hello theme (free theme, created by Elementor).
My handle is @Bovelett. But… I often forget to check message requests from people I'm not (yet) following. If you want my attention fast(er), make sure you mention me in a tweet.
You can find me here. Empty requests are ignored. If you can't be bothered to write a personal message explaining why you think it's a great idea to connect on LinkedIN, then don't send me a request.
If you want support for free, there is a really cool community for that on Facebook, for and by users. It currently has almost 58K members. As a moderator I'm already spending quite some time assisting people over there. Of course, if you have an issue with Elementor Pro, you can also send them a support request
Apparently the fact that I'm a moderator in the Facebook Community for Elementor, makes people think I have access to inside info on whatever related to this magnificent tool. Well, people, I DON'T. None of the moderators do. We're users, just like you.
Shush, off you go, take your fishing expedition elsewhere. 🙂

You can shield yourself against significant temperature changes in Rimersburg, PA by having your house insulated. Over and Above Insulation has a squad of qualified and experienced contractors who tackle spray foam insulation a lot better than most companies can. Insulating your attic and your walls is an excellent way to stay warm during winter, to guard against mold spores, and to keep outside noise down. Over and Above Insulation is amongst the few companies that can make the bold claim of being a leader in the foam insulation marketplace. The quest to providing supplemental protection for your residence in Rimersburg, PA starts off with a call to 888-483-6664.
Effectively taking care of this task from beginning to end is crucial, and is certainly something which the insulation contractors with Over and Above Insulation specialize in. We further make certain that each undertaking is phenomenal by involving each of our customers in the planning and operation phases. While organizing your foam insulation project, we'll be certain that it'll fit perfectly within the approved budget, and timeframe for conclusion.
Our qualified insulation contractors in Rimersburg, PA have so much to offer you, including:
Our personnel will only work with spray foam insulation endorsed as Class 1/Class A fire rated so that they do not catch fire that easily. Over and Above Insulation has stayed steadfast to its extraordinary approach for serving its clients since its establishment, and continues to develop its spray foam insulation application tactics for the greater good of future customers. Our contractors receive continuous training with the newest foams and application methods, so you are further benefited by the latest industry standards and practices.
On top of all this, we've effectively serviced innumerable individuals staying in Rimersburg and across Pennsylvania without causing damage to their houses or injuring any people from both parties. Those of you from Rimersburg, PA who would like to insulate their houses — and reduce their heating/cooling costs by up to 60 percent — may do so by getting in touch with the attic insulation contractors from Over and Above Insulation at 888-483-6664.
If you were to ask the vast majority of Rimersburg, Pennsylvania home and business owners about insulation, they would describe the classic yellow or pink fiberglass kind. While it is true that fiberglass was the only insulation choice in Rimersburg, PA for a long time, spray foam insulation has entered the market over the last several years. When compared to traditional insulation, you will discover that spray foam insulation weighs much less yet it is far more durable. This is excellent news for home and business owners in Rimersburg like you who are trying to save big money on utility bills! Be sure to give Over and Above Insulation a call at 888-483-6664 if you would like to find out more about the many advantages associated with spray foam insulation.
The thickness of fiberglass insulation found within Rimersburg, PA houses and businesses would lead you to believe it is very effective at its job but this is not the situation. You see, fiberglass insulation has a major problem with holding water and its fibrous texture makes it easy to split apart, which can produce gaps just big enough to crank up your electricity bills. However, the issue does not stop with mold growth and tearing as fiberglass insulation is also unable to insulate around outlets. We have found that these uncovered gaps can equate to the dimensions of a window. If you literally want to throw cash out the window, fiberglass is an excellent solution.
Fiberglass insulation also cannot form close to as snug of a seal as spray foam insulation can. Fiberglass is packed between wall frames in Rimersburg, PA houses and businesses and held in place with staples. Unlike fiberglass, spray foam insulation is applied wet and cures to fit in between the wall frames and around the outlets with perfection.
Although the snug seal and toughness found in spray foam insulation are superb benefits for people within Rimersburg, PA, the best part is that it is moisture resistant. Once fiberglass insulation has come into contact with moisture, mold growth will undoubtedly be on the horizon. When water comes into contact with spray foam insulation, on the other hand, it is absorbed and released correctly.
If you are like most home and business owners throughout Rimersburg, PA, chances are you are searching for ways to save money on electriCITY bills. Most of these individuals start by adding energy-efficient appliances, windows and doors to their houses or businesses. While this is certainly an excellent place to begin, it is even more important to focus on the energy you are losing instead of the energy you are using. As a result, individuals should think about the addition of spray foam insulation before investing money on new doors, windows and appliances that will not conserve that much money. Call our spray foam specialists from Over and Above Insulation at 888-483-6664 to receive a free estimate.

Tempe is a relatively large city located in the state of Arizona. With a population of 192,364 people and 37 constituent neighborhoods, Tempe is the eighth largest community in Arizona.
Tempe real estate is some of the most expensive in Arizona, although Tempe house values don't compare to the most expensive real estate in the U.S.
Tempe is a decidedly white-collar city, with fully 85.52% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Tempe is a city of professionals, sales and office workers, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Tempe who work in office and administrative support (13.47%), sales jobs (10.60%), and management occupations (8.59%).
Also of interest is that Tempe has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
Tempe is made interesting by being both a reasonably big city and having a major college student population: students here will find that the city provides a lot of amenities, culture, and opportunities for them. Tempe is more than just a college town, however, though the thousands of students certainly are a major part of the character of the city, as well as a contributor to the local economy.
Not only is Tempe a city with many college students, but it also retains many recent graduates who are looking to start new careers, shaping the character of the city into a place that is geared toward, and considered attractive to, many single, educated people. Many singles consider Tempe a good place to live without being in a really big city, with opportunities for friendships and fun with others like themselves.
Like elsewhere in America, most people in Tempe use a private automobile to get to work. But notably, a substantial number of Tempe's citizens do make use of public transit in their daily commute, primarily riding the bus. This helps more people get to work with less air pollution, and require fewer highways to get them there.
The education level of Tempe ranks among the highest in the nation. Of the 25-and-older adult population in Tempe, 44.58% have at least a bachelor's degree. The typical US community has just 21.84% of its adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree.
The per capita income in Tempe in 2010 was $29,786, which is wealthy relative to Arizona, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $119,144 for a family of four. However, Tempe contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
Tempe is an extremely ethnically-diverse city. The people who call Tempe home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Tempe residents report their race to be White, followed by Asian. Tempe also has a sizeable Hispanic population (people of Hispanic origin can be of any race). People of Hispanic or Latino origin account for 22.38% of the city's residents. Important ancestries of people in Tempe include German, English, Irish, Italian, and Polish.
In addition, Tempe has a lot of people living here who were born outside of the US (15.79%).
The most common language spoken in Tempe is English. Other important languages spoken here include Spanish and Chinese.

Review of History and Political Science, 1(1), pp. 50-62.
The paper brings to focus mis-presentation of civil society groups' struggles for multi-party democracy in Africa as the only entry point into understanding the struggles for democracy by the African peoples. Popular uprising against dictators, ethnic militia violence, popular rejections of election results are forms of popular struggles for genuine democracy that are yet to be given sufficient attention in our discourses of popular struggles for democracy in Africa. This error seems to be a product of post-Cold War neo-liberal discourse of democracy, which tends to 'emasculate democracy of its social and historical dimensions; and presents it as an ultimate nirvana'. The paper deconstructs this trend and follows up with an explanation of how such trend created crises of transitions; and how the African states have attempted at coping with these crises. The central argument in the paper is that although democratic transitions in most post-independence Africa remains endangered; there is nothing that makes democracy un-African or makes Africans ungovernable. The major set-back for democracy in the continent is its failure to evolve from the grains of its best-fit values but the imported 'best-practice' principles of the grand theories.

Add Cassandre Davis to the laundry list of Miami-based models who in any other city in the world might be the hottest thing in a bathing suit.
The stunning 31-year-old fitness model is rumored to be connected to soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, but thanks to all her bootylicious bikini shots, she's becoming something of a superstar herself with an Instagram following of 813,000 and climbing.
RELATED: Claudia Sampedro, the girlfriend of NFL star Julius Peppers, is the hottest thing in Miami, and it's not even close
As you can tell by her well-defined glutes, it's clear what Davis likes to focus on in the gym. It can't get much more toned than that.

Wayne Levy (January 26th 1944 – May 5th 2003) was born into humble beginnings in Melbourne, Australia. He went on to international success in teaching, writing and documentary filmmaking.
Wayne always had a passion for teaching and went straight from high school to a teachers college to learn the craft. After a six year stint at Sydney Grammar School, he returned to Melbourne in 1972 to marry Marilyn Sykes. They would go on to have two children together – Sally, born in 1974, and Nicholas, born in 1977.
In 1979 Wayne and his family moved to America so he could complete his Masters at the University of Indiana, Bloomington. Returning to Australia to lecture in media, journalism and mass communication at Victoria College, he was soon to travel overseas again with his family as 1984-85 saw him teach at the University of Singapore. This led to opportunities working for Asian Mass Communication (AMIC), an association set up to teach people in Asia about mass media and journalism.
His work for AMIC took him to India, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and West Timor over the next decade. Through this period he also made many important documentaries, particularly for use in medical facilities and hospitals. In Singapore he wrote a book on the infamous Raffles Hotel, and became their special guest. This was to be one of over 40 books that he wrote throughout his life.
His love of traveling and history led Wayne to take his family throughout South-East Asia, to Burma, Malaysia and Sarawak (Borneo). And at the end of his tenure in Singapore, Wayne and his family journeyed throughout Europe. As an avid photographer, no photo opportunities were missed.
From 1987-1989 Wayne and his family lived in Bogor, Indonesia, where he taught students in media, and established a television studio. He subsequently took his family to Egypt, to see all the incredible sites he had dreamt of visiting all his life.
His hard work overseas meant he could afford to build his own personal library, filled with books on his favourite subjects: film, history and true crime. He was a passionate reader, and his library was a great source of pride.
After leaving Deakin University, he traveled to Tanzania at the end of 1999. Here, as a Professor at the St Augustine University, he taught Africans the same skills he had been teaching his Asian students for so many years. At the end of 2001 he moved to Gaborone, Botswana, where he established and designed a new course in mass media and journalism. Living with his wife Marilyn in Africa, they had the opportunity to travel again – through Kenya, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Swaziland, Losoto and then to Middle East – Jordan, Syria, Israel, and Yemen.
From all his travels, he made friends all over the world. By the end of his life he had been to over 30 countries, and there wasn't a place that he went to where he didn't touch someone's heart. He loved to teach, and made a difference to thousands of people through his work in developing countries. His knowledge of teaching and media was unsurpassed, and respected internationally.
Wayne Levy died suddenly on 5th May 2003 in Gaborone, Botswana of a heart attack. He was only 59. He is survived by his two children, Sally and Nicholas, and his devoted sister Linda.

Most National Trust properties have beautiful gardens, looked after by armies of staff and volunteers. Baddesley Clinton was no exception. It was the wildlife that gave us most delight though: the ducks scooting around in the moat; the swallows feeding their young in their mud and straw nests under the entrance archway and the butterflies in the garden, nourished by the wildflower meadows which the National Trust encourages.
There were at least five babies in the swallows' nest and both parents appeared to be flying in and out with grubs for their hungry brood. It was high up and very dark, so my photo isn't great but we enjoyed watching them. They were completely unfazed by all the visitors walking in and out of the gatehouse, many of whom were oblivious to the life going on overhead.

Donation To The Mary Mac Foundation
9th Annual Mary Mac Golf Tournament 2020
After consulting with our Board of Directors, volunteers, and the Ocean Pines Golf Club, the 2020 Mary Mac Foundation Golf Tournament has been canceled in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We understand and share the disappointment that this year's event will not happen. However, it is critical that we consider the safety of our volunteers, golfers, Ocean Pines staff, and the larger community.
Last year, we donated nearly $27,000 to organizations that provide educational and recreational opportunities to youth and adults, including St. Vincent de Paul of Baltimore, the Ocean Pines Youth program, and Camp Barnes. We also support a scholarship in Mary's name at Severna Park High School.
This would have been the ninth year the Foundation hosted the golf tournament and we set an ambitious goal to make $30,000 in charitable donations in 2020. However, without proceeds from this year's golf tournament, we will not be able to meet our charitable giving goals for this calendar year.
Many of us have found ourselves asking what Mary would do or say in certain situations. This especially holds true now. Her generosity and unconditional love for her students, family and community bound us together. It is her grace and generosity that guides us and brings us together every year.
We know that this is a difficult time for many, but we ask that if it is still within your means to make a donation to the foundation, please consider doing so. No amount is too small. We will be donating all proceeds to organizations that support low income and homeless children and their families.
A tax-deductible donation can be made to the Mary Mac Foundation at www.paypal.me/
The Maryland State non-profit customer ID # is 002924225. | The Federal Tax ID # is 46-2720845
Thank you for your continued support.
The McMullen, Ansorge and Wojciechowski families
P.S. If you cannot make a donation at this time, we also participate in the Amazon Smile program. With every eligible Amazon Smile purchase, 0.5% of the price is donated to the Mary Mac Foundation. Please consider registering the Mary Mac Foundation as your charitable organization today. Click the Amazon Smile logo to get started. And make sure when purchasing through Amazon, to visit the Amazon Smile page so your purchases count!
What is Scleroderma?
Scleroderma, or systemic sclerosis, is a chronic connective tissue disease generally classified as one of the autoimmune rheumatic diseases.

Last year, through participation in the Baltimore Running Festival and the Mary Mac Golf Tournament, over $20,000 was raised for PHA and various charitable organizations.

We had a bye week during the Sunday school hour. It was one of those times the material was covered and we wanted to start the new class along with the other ones. We opened the class to questions.
We have done this before. This week followed the pattern of the past. Most of the questions revolved around the last book of the Bible, Revelation.
One would think we don't read the rest of the Bible, except maybe the four accounts of Jesus that we call the gospels. Other than that, unless the rest of the Bible is pretty clear (I don't think so), it seems like we are mesmerized by end-times interpretation.
I used the right word: interpretation. Few who rant and rave (especially the televangelists) bother to inform the audience that a lot of end-times teaching is open to various interpretations.
Jesus said we would not know when he is coming back, so what makes us think we can figure it out? Oh, probably the same thing that caused some woman named Eve, along with her husband Adam, to pick the fruit from the tree God said not to eat.
I was raised in an end-times church. You could bet (not sure we were allowed to do that in an independent conservative church) that every other preaching series was either Daniel or Revelation, with a few journeys into II Thessalonians and Jesus' short take on end times in Matthew 24.
I attended the Christian school there as well. For sure, one of the Bible classes we were required to take was Daniel/Revelation. In all the sermons and classes we took, there was nary a hint that there were other interpretive schools that had the ability to change the picture.
The strange thing is the one-sided interpretive view would have had very little influence on the church's statement of faith. It also has very little to do with the overall biblical picture of a daily life in Christ and a personal God.
A wise preacher once said he does not spend time preaching from passages open to great debate, but instead preaches on what is clear: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your might… and love your neighbor as yourself." That alone should keep us plenty busy.
As mentioned, Jesus didn't want us to get all caught up on his return. He said to look for it, but it was obvious he didn't dwell on it. So he didn't want us to be consumed with it, either. He wanted us to be consumed with him.
I've seen so many people light up when it comes to interpretive stances on the cryptic writings of Revelation. I've also seen the light go out when Jesus talked about taking care of the poor, inviting strangers in and setting prisoners free.
I bet (there I go again) I can get more people to attend an end-times study than I can to work with the poor or ex-cons. Jesus spent more time doing that than telling the disciples that he was coming back.
As I answered some of the questions, I used words Christians seem to disdain. I replied at times, "We really don't know." That's right! We can speculate, postulate and estimate. Some things we won't know until we get to the other side. Those things are in the hand of Jesus.
All I've got to worry about is today. Jesus said something about that in Matthew 6.
