Women in jail face an uncertain future, especially if they are pregnant or already have children. But women in the Wayne County (OH) Jail have a resource that gives them tools to make a brighter future.
Two years ago, Jeanne Altland started helping with a ministry serving women in the jail. The chaplain at the jail at that time had arranged for the ministry to start, and Altland, a retired child welfare social worker, stayed on and took over its leadership after he left about two months later.
"I really like meeting with these ladies," said Altland, also the assistant office manager at Pregnancy Care Center (PCC) of Wayne County in Wooster, OH. "I think we're providing something they like."

Every Wednesday two volunteers teach classes on parenting, life skills, conflict, family stability and personality strengths. The women can use the classes to meet county requirements to regain custody of their children when they leave jail.
They also benefit from the center's Earn While You Learn curriculum – the content, and the "baby bucks" they earn and bank while in jail, which can be used in the pregnancy care center for baby supplies. And their "baby bucks" can be used for supplies for themselves, such as "toiletries, laundry soap, body wash, hair conditioner, even socks," according to Altland.
One student of the jail ministry commented, "These classes have really good topics each week. They are relatable and easy to understand, even the tougher emotional topics like family violence. The time and effort put in these classes are appreciated."
More than life skill education, these classes offer hope.
Getting a job, finding housing and seeing their children again are the things that give these women hope for life after incarceration. Local children's social services accept the six-week certification that some of the jailed mothers need to be able to have their children back.
"Case workers can choose which of our topics they want the ladies to cover," Altland explained.
Another advantage of the center offering the classes is that it gives the women somewhere to turn for help once they're out of jail.
One of the women said, "I really enjoy all of the classes and I find the topics really helpful. I look forward to continuing to come to PCC [the pregnancy care center] when I am out of jail. And the Baby Bucks will be useful, too!"
When students from the jail ministry visit the Pregnancy Care Center upon release it keeps relationships with their mentors going, where they can attend more classes and Bible studies, or simply share what is happening in their lives.
Relationships are exactly what Altland and the other volunteers want to develop with the women.
"You have to show love," she said. "It doesn't matter what they've done. You don't have to approve. But you have to love them."
Tweet This: "You have to show love. It doesn't matter what they've done. You don't have to approve. But you have to love them."
Altland exhibits love and concern in her sensitivity to what the women want and need.
"None of the teachers try to pretend they're perfect," she said. "We didn't have perfect parents, and we didn't always parent perfectly."
When the teachers admit they aren't perfect it shows "the ladies there is hope," she added.
Altland has also noticed that because they're separated from their families, Christmas can be a depressing time of year.
This year they made the classes more fun with lighter subject matter than heavy topics like family violence. Instead, she said they covered "life skills such as buying a car or having a checking account. I got permission to bring in cookies. They liked that."
Altland is aware of what they miss.
"Some don't have visitors," she said. "This gives them a chance to socialize."
"Your behavior reflects Jesus Christ," said Atlland. "We do share the Gospel, but not every week. They appreciate when we share."
One of the best results is when the women get their children back and can use the insights they've gained from the parenting classes to become better parents.
Tweet This: One of the best results is when women get their children back & can use insights they've gained from the classes to become better parents.
For anyone who would like to develop a women's jail ministry Altland recommends talking to others already ministering in jails.
She says it's important to train volunteers carefully and "give insight into the ladies they'll see."
"Teach basic guidelines about leading a group, how to share carefully about your life," she said. "We want to be good visitors. We're there at the mercy of the jail officials."
Altland has a 17-point guideline sheet for volunteers to read and remember that includes information on how to enter the jail, the time with the ladies, keeping boundaries and maintaining control in a classroom. She goes in with a new volunteer teacher three times, then turns the class over to her, along with an assistant – they always go in pairs, not alone.
They ask that the women in the class "show each other respect, be friendly and caring, keep what they learn about someone else confidential."
"Don't take what you've learned about your neighbor back to the cell block," Altland said. "We have a list of group rules the ladies sign and agree to."
The ministry is closely tied with the pregnancy center.
"I couldn't do it without PCC," said Altland. "It has the support and resources I need. You say Pregnancy Care Center around here, and the jail said, 'Yes, of course.' They're very well-regarded."
Altland's care for the women extends to her attitude about the ministry.
"It's given me so much joy," she said. "It's rewarding. Going there on Wednesday is very satisfying."
The women in jail feel the same way, saying they "really enjoy the class and the ladies that come."
Editor's note: Laura Roesler has a degree in English from Hamline University with a second major in nursing from St. Catherine's, both in Saint Paul, MN. She completed volunteer training at New Life Homes and Family Services in Minnesota, coming away with knowledge about abortion and its effects surpassing what she'd gained in nursing school. Laura taught nursing assistants with the Job Corps and worked as a nursing home nurse and a school nurse. She left the workforce for several years to raise her family – she and her husband have four children, adopting their youngest daughter from Guatemala at age three. Laura was the editor of Home Health Aide Digest and later remained a contributor, and she has also had articles in Senior Perspective and The Christian Examiner.

A new '1917' featurette explores Sam Mendes' single take marvel
On Christmas Day, Universal Pictures is preparing to release Sam Mendes' cinematic marvel, 1917. Today, the studio has offered a tease of the incredible production with a behind the scenes featurette that shows off the Academy Award winning director's unique approach to telling a World War I story. As you can see for yourself in the player below, 1917 will unfold in real time with a single continuous shot designed by cinematographer (and fellow Oscar winner) Roger Deakins!
At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic's George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones' Dean-Charles Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers — Blake's own brother among them. Mark Strong, Andrew Scott, Richard Madden, Claire Duburcq, Colin Firth and Benedict Cumberbatch also star.
1917 is directed by Mendes, who wrote the screenplay with Krysty Wilson-Cairns (Showtime's Penny Dreadful). The film is produced by Mendes and Pippa Harris (co-executive producer, Revolutionary Road; executive producer, Away We Go) for their Neal Street Productions, Jayne-Ann Tenggren (co-producer, The Rhythm Section; associate producer, Spectre), Callum McDougall (executive producer, Mary Poppins Returns, Skyfall) and Brian Oliver (executive producer, Rocketman; Black Swan).
Produced by Neal Street Productions for DreamWorks Pictures in association with New Republic Pictures, 1917 will be released by Universal Pictures in limited release on December 25th before going wide on January 10, 2020. Universal and Amblin Partners will distribute the film internationally, with eOne distributing on behalf of Amblin in the U.K.

St. Louis, MO's Black Fast come forth to prove that great metal can come from the most unlikely of placed with Terms of Surrender.
Text Review:
Any rock and metal fan who grew up in St. Louis can confirm that St. Louis, MO is not a rock market. In a city where either rap or country reign supreme depending on territory, it can feel like you are on the outside if you prefer any type of music besides pop-country and rap.
But somehow, even in a market where your genre isn't on top, real musicians with passion can rise like beautiful roses growing out of manure. And out of a big city where pop-country and rap are promoted by dozens of radio stations as opposed to two rock stations, rises a young group of well-trained musicians named Black Fast who are determined to shred the world apart.
These four men now signed with eOne have a lot to their name in a short time and without even their first fully released LP. In 2013 metalsucks.net named them as one of the best unsigned bands and their self-released EP even gained year end nominations. Combine these accolades with the fact that Black Fast have a guitarist and bassist with legitimate jazz degrees and you can understand just how much potential there is in Black Fast.
My first experience with Black Fast didn't come through traditional FM radio though but though Liquid Metal. They have been highlighting the new album's promoted single To Propagate the Void and also the upcoming album release. For a SiriusXM radio station that is known for cranking out the classics of metal on an hourly basis to take time and highlight a new group is huge.
While discussing the new album with Pure Grain Audio, vocalist Aaron Akin stated that: "I was excited, I was confident in the songs, and wanted to make a statement. Now, after having some time to chew on it and digest, I am extremely proud of the way this record turned out."
Going back to Terms of Surrender's first single, this was the introduction to Black Fast for many people who were listening at the right time. And now that everyone is capable of hearing it, it's the best first impression any metal band could ask for.
Everything about this track is brutal. It defines what thrash metal should be. From an intense opening to raspy and consistently good vocals to AMAZING guitar solos to a never ending drum rhythm, TO Propagate The Void not only delivers what metal fans crave but also showcase just what these men are capable of.
And what's better is that To Propagate The Void is the standard that is consistently met throughout the rest of this album. Eight out of nine tracks on this album all reach over four minutes and not one second is spent as just a space to get from point a to point b.
Now that Black fast have their music in the public and available for purchase, this is the moment where people can find songs like The Coming Swarm and I Conspire, actually purchase the music, and then revel in the fact that there are still metal bands capable of producing this high quality and creativity at a younger age, especially in a generation where mixing effects and radio formulas are the norm.
Just like To Propagate The Void, everything connects, the vocals are on point, and the guitar work is absolutely fantastic. It's extremely hard not to get sucked into songs like this. You can instantly see these guys playing their hearts out live on stage while listening to this song and at no point does the adrenaline slow down.
Terms of Surrender have every single element that you can hope for with a new band to get behind and a new album to purchase. The tracks go deep, there is variety in the guitar work, passion in the performance, and every second of this album feels like it's four men putting everything on the line to prove they have what it takes to become something in the music world.
It's hard not to get excited when a new band is found that not only are starting things off on the right foot, but you find out about them right when the train is leaving the station. In the case of Black Fast, it's a train that has potential to melt the tracks and plow through the metal community.
Overall, Terms of Surrender delivers on every aspect of thrash metal you could ask for. There is instrument work to behold and admire and vocals and rhythm that will make you happy to blow out every speaker you own. If enough people buy into and support Black Fast starting with this album, then they could be around for a long time.

NCOSS and Homelessness NSW Letter to Ministers - Social Housing COVID-19 Plan
NCOSS and Homelessness NSW have jointly written to our Ministers for Health, Housing, and Families, Communities and Disability Services to call for the development of a social housing COVID-19 plan for NSW, including the implementation of immediate measures to keep social housing tenants safe.
Read our letter here:
Supporting Economic Recovery in NSW: Investment in Social and Affordable Housing is Critical to Supporting Jobs Today and Families into the Future
Supporting Economic Recovery in NSW: Investment in Social and Affordable Housing is Critical to Supporting Jobs Today and Families into the Future is a new report by Equity Economics in collaboration with NCOSS, Shelter NSW, Community Housing Industry Association NSW, Tenants' Union of NSW and Homelessness NSW.
Hundreds of thousands have lost their jobs and are facing financial hardship for the first time. The economy must now recover at a time of record levels of household debt and without the support of drivers of growth, including international migration. The NSW government will need to invest to sustain a recovery for the people of NSW, our communities and the economy.
The most immediate challenges emerging from the crisis are rapidly rising unemployment, widespread failure of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), falling incomes and wealth and, perhaps most concerningly, rising inequality and disadvantage. The optimal fiscal policy response will simultaneously address each of these challenges. Few policy levers present such a solution, the exception being a greater investment in social and affordable housing.
In this report, we analyse the economic and social benefits of:
- Building additional social and affordable housing stock across NSW, to recharge the economy;
- Repairing old social housing stock, further boosting employment;
- Rapidly acquiring available properties in the private market to find a permanent solution for rough sleepers and others in temporary/crisis accommodation.
Read the report here:
Cost of Living in NSW: Austerity hits home
Cost of Living in NSW: Austerity hits home is the latest annual report from NCOSS looking at the cost of living for low income households in NSW. It outlines the findings of an online survey conducted in May 2019 and completed by 730 people across NSW. The survey aimed to provide a cost of living snapshot by collecting information on household budget priorities, expenditure on essential goods and services and experiences of financial stress and hardship.
Many of the key findings in the 2019 Cost of Living in NSW report are now likely to be exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. NCOSS has developed a supplementary paper calling on the NSW Government to ease the pressure on households in NSW, create jobs and stimulate economic activity by:
- Boosting the supply of social and affordable housing
- Establishing a Resilient Communities - Support and Connect fund
- Partnering with a suitable academic institution and NCOSS to create a NSW Institute for the Social Services Industry (NISSI).
The Cost of Staying Connected: Telecommunications findings from the 2019 Cost of Living in NSW survey
Australians as a whole are more digitally connected than ever before – we are connecting more devices to the internet, consuming more data, participating in a greater range of social, cultural, and economic activities and accessing more essential services on-line. A growing share of household income is now spent on internet services. Access to technology and telecommunication services impact on people's capacity to stay connected, both socially and economically. Without access and connection many people are at risk of disadvantage that extends beyond 'disconnection'.
The 2019 Cost of Living in NSW survey was completed by 730 people living in low-income and low- to middle-income households in May 2019. The results presented here are drawn from responses to questions on usage, access and the cost of telecommunications services. This data provides insight into the challenges faced by households to stay connected. It confirms the digital divide facing many, and the particular groups most at risk.
Protecting the most vulnerable during the COVID-19 crisis
The rapidly developing COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) crisis is having a significant and increasing impact on vulnerable communities. Early on, NCOSS worked with Homelessness NSW to urgently highlight the need for increased resources to support rough sleepers, those experiencing housing stress, and social housing tenants, given their heightened vulnerability at this time. We sent a joint letter to the Premier, Treasurer and Minister Ward calling on the Government to provide for rapid rehousing, multi-disciplinary outreach and a moratorium on evictions for people in private rentals.
Continued advocacy led by Homelessness NSW has seen an additional $34 million announced by the State Government on 27 March to expand temporary accommodation and rental products, as well as increased flexibility for services to respond appropriately. This has been a major achievement. NCOSS has also advocated to the NSW Treasurer to push his federal colleagues to see investment in social and affordable housing as essential infrastructure that will serve as an economic stimulus and create jobs. We are calling for a financial package of support for the sector and other initiatives which will grow jobs and support vulnerable people.
In addition to our ongoing policy and advocacy efforts around COVID-19, we continue to update our sector resource with relevant information around service continuity, financial and other supports for services and clients.
NCOSS Pre-Budget Submission 2020-21
The 2020-21 NSW Budget has been deferred from June 2020 to later in the year. In the interim, NCOSS has developed a Pre-Budget Submission that asks the NSW Government to prioritise 2020-21 investment in measures that will:
- Address the cost of living for households under pressure
- Create economic opportunities for those who are missing out
- Support a viable, stable and diverse community services sector
NSW Women's Alliance emergency briefing on COVID-19
The NSW Women's Alliance has developed an emergency briefing on COVID-19 that highlights key challenges and measures to support women, children, young and LGBTIQ people experiencing sexual, domestic and family violence during the COVID-19 crisis. NCOSS is a member of the Women's Alliance along with state-wide and peak organisations working with women, families, children, young people and communities impacted by sexual, domestic and family violence.
Health impacts of exposure to poor levels of air quality resulting from bushfires and drought
NCOSS has made a submission to the NSW Parliament inquiry into the health impacts of exposure to poor levels of air quality resulting from bushfires and drought. We respond to the inquiry's Terms of Reference regarding the impact on the health and wellbeing of particular at-risk groups, and highlight the heightened need to provide for these groups during disaster events. This includes people who were already living with limited resources and unable to seek shelter from hazardous air quality and other environmental conditions due to the 2019-20 bushfires.
Mapping Economic Disadvantage in Fire Affected Communities
This report profiles five areas impacted by the 2019-20 bushfires and identified as having high levels of disadvantage. We present data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) regarding each region alongside findings from the NCOSS Mapping Economic Disadvantage in NSW resource.
Many more communities experiencing already high levels of disadvantage have been impacted by the bushfires than those profiled in this report. Detailed information, identifying poverty rates by location and for different demographic groups, for those bushfire impacted areas across the state can be accessed via updated NATSEM/NCOSS interactive maps at: http://bit.ly/3cTdKr6
Review on Raising the Age of Criminal Responsibility
The Councils of Social Service Network has made a joint statement to the Council of Attorneys-General (CAG) Working Group in response to the review on raising the age of criminal responsibility. The statement highlights that the laws dictating the age of criminal responsibility in all states, territories and the Commonwealth need to be reformed in line with key principles, the first being that the minimum age of criminal responsibility should be raised to at least 14 years.
National Consumer Credit Protection Amendment (Small Amount Credit Contract and Consumer Lease Reforms) Bill 2019
The National Consumer Credit Protection Amendment (Small Amount Credit Contract and Consumer Lease Reforms) Bill 2019 provide important safeguards that protect consumers against unfair credit practices that have persisted in the fringe finance industry by consumer lease providers and Small Amount Credit Contracts. This submission outlines why these reforms are crucial for people living with disadvantage and provides feedback on how to strengthen key provisions to ensure vulnerable consumers benefit from the full protection of the law.
Draft Health Care and Social Assistance Sector Plan
NCOSS provided feedback on the Health Care and Social Assistance Work Health and Safety Sector Plan to 2022, highlighting the relationship between characteristics of the operating environment and psychological wellbeing of workers.
Equal Remuneration Order supplementation
NCOSS recently wrote to the Hon. Dominic Perrottet MP, NSW Treasurer, to seek commitment from the NSW Government to address indexation and Equal Remuneration Order (ERO) supplementation issues in future funding arrangements for community sector organisations in NSW. NCOSS is seeking the Treasurer's support to ensure that contractual arrangements for community sector organisations include annual indexation of 3% and ongoing ERO supplementation that is built into baseline funding.
NSW Productivity Commission Discussion Paper
NCOSS made a submission to the NSW Productivity Commission Discussion Paper Kickstarting the productivity conversation. NCOSS calls on the NSW Government to use the productivity reform agenda to strategically target the community services sector – part of the fast growing healthcare and social assistance industry – to help address existing and impending vulnerabilities in the NSW economy, address future demand and support those who are at risk of disadvantage in the community. NCOSS also advocates for the community services sector, research institutions and the NSW Government to work together to create a whole of Community Services Industry Plan for NSW that articulates the vision of a thriving sector and the steps needed over the next 10 years to achieve that vision. Our recommendations provide opportunities for the NSW Government to support continued growth in the state's living standards and the wellbeing of its whole population.
Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety
NCOSS made a submission to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety. NCOSS calls on federal, state and territory governments to improve the accessibility of My Aged Care and the broader system, particularly for older people from diverse backgrounds. NCOSS also calls for more funding that enables service providers to respond flexibly to diverse needs, resources more social inclusion initiatives and provides adequately for carer support, resources and respite.

Kevin Towers' 'orbit' an irresistible force in baseball, life
In more than 30 years in baseball, Kevin Towers pulled countless players, scouts and executives — and everyone in between — into his universe.
None, as confirmed by more than 20 speakers at Sunday's two-and-a-half-hour celebration of Towers' life at Petco Park, ever had an unkind word to say about the longtime front-office executive.
Not even the players whom Towers released.
One particular yarn spun by longtime friend and agent Barry Axelrod — flanked on stage by "KT" jerseys representing Towers' tenures in San Diego, New York, Arizona and Cincinnati — involved a police officer pulling over Towers in downtown San Diego.
Towers apparently had hit the road without his headlights on. The officer, as he was about to ask for Towers' license and registration, recognized the Padres' general manager.
Of course he did: Tower had released the officer sometime earlier.
Towers looked over the officer, asked his name, and a light bulb switched on. He knew where the officer had gone to school, what round he'd been drafted in, where he'd played in the system.
"You were pretty good," Towers told the officer. "You were a good little middle infielder on both sides of the bag — short and second.
"You couldn't hit much, though."
At that point, Axelrod — in tow with Towers — figured a ticket was surely headed their way. Then the officer nodded in agreement and said, as relayed by Axelrod: "That's what you told me when you released me. You were right. You also told me what I needed to do to get better. I tried, and I realized that you were honest with me. I didn't quite have it.
"So here I am now."
The officer sent Towers on his way without the ticket.
Towers was 56 when he died on the morning of Jan. 30 after a 14-month battle with a rare cancer of the thyroid.
He had constructed the Padres' second-ever World Series team after his unlikely climb from a minor league mound into a big league front office. His teams won four division titles and more than 1,000 games in his 14 years as San Diego's general manager. He won another NL West title as Arizona's chief baseball operations executive.
Yet, who Towers was cast a large shadow over all that as more than 100 friends from across the game descended upon Petco Park for Sunday's gathering, the first opportunity for many to revel in the stories accumulated in Towers' "orbit," as Theo Epstein described it.
Epstein won two world championships in Boston and another in Chicago. The Cubs' 44-year-old president of baseball operations, however, got his start in the Padres' PR department as a 21-year-old just out of college.
"I was just a peon," Epstein said. "A nobody. A faceless kid trying to be invisible and not get in the way. But there was never such a thing as 'a nobody' to Kevin Towers. That's just not how he was wired. He didn't care if you were the president of a team or an intern, if you were a star player or a clubbie, if you were a national writer or the backup guy at some local paper, he would treat you like an equal.
"That was KT."
Epstein continued: "If he liked you, he would drag you into his orbit, his gravitational force, and then you were in for the ride of your life."
The two talked baseball often. Towers, newly married to Kelley, dragged every morsel of information out of Epstein's single life in Pacific Beach. Soon enough, Epstein was working for Towers in baseball operations, charting pitches at Qualcomm Stadium and on his way to his own decorated career in the game.
"KT was an incredible boss," Epstein said. "He was empowering. He was a great listener. He was a generous teacher. He had this way of making you think you mattered, that you were a contributor, even when you were mostly learning."
The protégé was still learning, Epstein admitted with a chuckle, when Towers later pried Cla Meredith, Josh Bard and cash from the Red Sox in May 2006 for catcher Doug Mirabelli. That transaction started with a call to Towers' "Stalking Horse," Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman.
Towers usually referred to Cashman as his "sugar daddy." This time around, he wanted to use Cashman to drive up the price on Epstein.
No problem, Cashman said.
"In the end, he called me up all happy and satisfied," Cashman recalled. "'I got Cla Meredith out of those guys.'"
Epstein didn't know that before Sunday afternoon. He should have known better.
"Nobody," Epstein said, "was better at building a bullpen than KT."
A lot of stories were told Sunday. Tears were shed. Laughs, more than anything, were shared.
There was the time that dinner and drinks — always drinks — with rival general managers and their wives turned into a late-night bowling excursion in Manhattan. There was the time when longtime Cardinals GM Walt Jocketty had the darnedest time returning Towers' briefcase because he wasn't aware that Towers checked into his hotel under an alias — "Otis Campbell," the town drunk from "The Andy Griffith Show." There were so many long nights that became mornings in the Padres' suite, the place for writers, agents, executives and players to be at the winter meetings
"We'd literally have to kick people out in the morning to start business," Padres Assistant GM Fred Uhlman Jr. recalled.
That's not to say there weren't times when Towers upset the people he came to call friends.
Towers, for instance, had more than a handful of dust-ups with Phil Nevin. One involved Towers trying to trade his power-hitting third baseman to Cincinnati for Ken Griffey Jr. despite a no-trade clause. There were arguments about cavernous Petco Park. After one particularly heated postgame tiff, Towers arrived at the ballpark the next day, marched down the hall to remove Nevin's photo from a wall, and hung it over a toilet in the Padres' offices.
The photo is still hanging there today, 14 years later.
"You never knew what kind of day you were going to have," Uhlman said, "when you worked with Kevin."
There was the time when first-year manager Bruce Bochy called on Towers, his pitching coach at short-season Spokane in 1989, to finish a game for a depleted pitching staff, only to see Towers immediately plunk the opposing team's No. 1 draft pick in the head.
There was the time he wore out Bud Black, on his first day as the Padres manager, on a two-and-half-hour "power walk" through the back fields in Peoria as he ran through every player in the organization.
There was the time he had a tipsy Kirk Gibson, his manager in Arizona, head-butt Jon Daniels during a long back-and-forth as the Rangers general manager and then-Rays executive Andrew Friedman tried to "gang up" on Towers on a three-way deal for Arizona outfielder Justin Upton.
Daniels, a fraction of Gibson's 6-foot-3, 215-pound frame, dropped immediately. Towers and Friedman then hit the floor, too, in laughter. That trade never materialized.
"He never gave in," Gibson said with a laugh. "Kevin loved to wear the horns. That's what his whole life was all about."

The Englishman played at Anfield for three seasons, scoring over 40 goals in that time.
Now playing at Stoke, the 37-year-old has a podcast show on the BBC.
Called That Peter Crouch Podcast, the forward has already revealed hilarious stories from his time at Liverpool such as Steven Gerrard's fancy dress antics.
And he had co-hosts Chris Stark and Tom Rostance in stitches once again when asked about Secret Santa, where someone receives a gift without knowing who sent it.
But his gift to then boss Rafa Benitez made a very cheeky reference to the current Manchester United manager.
Crouch said: "I had my boss once for Secret Santa and it was Rafa Benitez.
"It was no limit, so we went all in.
"But Rafa had started changing his image a bit, wearing a leather jacket.
"So I got him a new leather and I also got him Jose Mourinho's 'How to win the League'."
The forward then bursts out with laughter as his co-hosts struggle to contain themselves.
But then Crouch reveals Benitez's reaction to the book.
"I thought this wasn't going to go down well," he continued.
"He had a look at it, opened it up and he was genuinely interested, like 'I'll read that'."
Crouch made a hilarious comment about his marriage to model Abbey Clancy earlier this month.
And he revealed the one footballer that scared him last month.

Swimsuit was about a month. Was packed in two packages. As a gift, the store put a chain and an elastic band, which is certainly nice. Panties are not much different, there is no high gum as in the photo from the seller. At a height of 160, the weight of 55 kg approached the size of m. The bodice with a lace-up, due to it you can adjust the fit, the straps are adjustable. The seams are even, the threads do not stick out, there is no smell of extraneous. Cups (in my case) do not support the chest not like, i will change. Swimsuit is not as bright as in the photo. In general, the goods are satisfied, for such an amount of $10.89. With the seller did not communicate. 28 Feb 2019 09:02

Middle Eastern countries are rich in history, culture, food, and language. The region is dynamic and deep in learned texts, insights, and more. However, outsider access to this region is becoming more limited as many Middle Eastern countries are reluctant to receive foreign criticisms of their economic policies, human rights records, or political unrest. This is in contrast to another country near the region that welcomes international students, business, and research into its country. This is the country of India. By allowing foreigners into its country, the Indian government is able to promote global economics and improve its advancement and scholarship.
After years of trying to prevent fraud and corruption in corporations at home and abroad, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has hired a corporate compliance expert. Several reports have stated that this expert is Hui Chen, the former head of compliance for Standard Chartered Bank and ex-assistant general counsel at Pfizer Inc. The DOJ believes that an expert in this field will allow the DOJ to determine more effectively if corporations should be criminally charged for failing to prevent wrong doing. This expert will also determine if all possible measures and programs were implemented under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), yet the crime occurred anyway.
There are several opportunities for companies in India today. The country of India has a large nucleus of business that provides a wide assortment of services and products to the international marketplace. When it comes to intellectual property, such as trademarks, logos, and brand recognition in India, there is a specific set of rules and forms that must be filled out and filed properly in order to register your intellectual property. These rules differ significantly from the procedures that are required in the United States.
If you live outside of the United States and wish to enter the country in order to control an investment that you have made within the U.S., then you will need an E2 Visa. The main purpose of an E2 Visa is to allow people from other countries to own and operate a business in the U.S. This visa can be renewed for two year terms indefinitely. Only citizens of countries that have a treaty with the U.S. are eligible. Russia, Brazil, India and China are a few of the countries that are ineligible.
International private law encompasses business throughout the world. International business owners may sometimes find it difficult to determine who or what governs all of the international laws that relate to your business.
The reason this is so difficult to determine is that there is no definitive government body who oversees every single international law.
The United Nations is the most widely recognized and influential international organization. This is true even though many have come to doubt its effectiveness is recent years.
The judicial counterpart to the United Nations is called the International Court of Justice.

If you are currently operating an International Business or are considering starting one, you should be aware of the major legal principles that fall under International Business Law. There are three main legal principles that are recognized in much of international law. These are not actually required but are based primarily on courtesy and respect. The three main principles are: the Principal of Comity, the Act of State Doctrine and the Doctrine of Sovereign Immunity. Each one of these is described as follows.
Now that you are operating a thriving business, you have decided that it is time to expand overseas. There are many factors to consider before expanding and with the help of an international business attorney all of your concerns can be addressed.
I wonder how many people understand the importance of managing an Intellectual Property Portfolio? Companies place their focus on the obvious items like trademark and patents and sometimes fail to see how much more they can be capitalizing on such as trade secrets or trade dress for example. This is how such companies as Coca-Cola make their money, by keeping their formula a secret. What are your company's strengths and assets? What is it about your product that makes it special and competitive?
Do you find international business law interesting and intriguing yet remain unclear as to what it encompasses? International Business involves operating a business across national boundaries or that will have an effect in another country. This includes activities such as the buying and selling of goods; investments in industries; the licensing of processes, patents and trademarks; and the supply of services. The number of corporations conducting International business is constantly changing.

This weekend, 14 teams from Virginia and North Carolina will converge on the Day Complex in South Boston for Troy Nation's Back to Where it All Began men's slow-pitch softball tournament.
The tournament is held to raise money for the Troy Strickland Memorial Scholarship and other events that Troy Nation puts on.
Wayne Lowery founded Troy Nation after the tragic death of his friend and coach, Troy Strickland in July 2018. Strickland drowned while saving a girl who was caught in the rip current in the ocean near Emerald Isle, North Carolina.
On the Troy Nation website Lowery wrote "Because of Troy's heroic act and the profound impact it had on the county of Halifax, I was compelled to create Troy Nation." Troy Nation has been a nonprofit for around eight months now and since its inception the group has raised money to help provide for the youth of Halifax.
Fundraising events that Troy Nation has held include a car wash, creating and selling T-shirts, selling barbecue and the men's slow-pitch softball tournament. These fundraisers have helped sponsor youth from Halifax to attend a football camp at Averett University, raising money for Strickland's family in their time of need and helping to send a local girl to represent Halifax County at the National Leadership Program at the University of North Carolina. There also was a baseball camp that they hoped to put on this summer, but with COVID-19 they had to cancel that.
Troy Nation has been able to do all of these things in a short amount of time, and Lowery knows they will be able to do even more as they continue with their efforts.
Last year, in the first tournament that Troy Nation put on, there were six teams participating, and this year that number has more than doubled as 14 teams are signed up to play.
The tournament will begin at about 8 a.m. Saturday and will continue throughout the day and into the night with Lowery saying they hope to wrap things up by 10 p.m. Sunday will be more of the same as things will kick off around 8 a.m. and they are hoping for the championship game to end by 9:30 p.m.
Lowery says they are playing 41 games in two days on two fields so there will be plenty of softball action all weekend for fans to come and watch and support Troy Nation.
With Virginia now in Phase Two of reopening, there's a 50-person limit on gatherings. More details on social distancing for the tournament will be released in the coming days, organizers wrote in a Facebook post.
There is no entry fee to attend the tournament, and there will be concessions available as well as a 50/50 raffle with all proceeds from those benefiting Troy Nation and the Troy Strickland Memorial Scholarship and their youth program.
"It is going to be a big day to raise money and get awareness out on us and what we do and what we are trying to do," Lowery said.
Lowery is hoping that Troy Nation will continue to grow as time goes on and that they will be able to reach more communities.
"We want to keep growing and reach more communities and more kids and do more things, but you have to start somewhere, and we are starting right here in our hometown," Lowery said.
Strickland was very involved with coaching and mentoring youth in sports, and Lowery wants to make sure Troy Nation continues to help carry that on. Lowery is hoping to bring tournaments to Halifax and have college coaches come out to them and give the kids an opportunity to be seen.
"We had good talent here, they just get overlooked sometimes," Lowery said, speaking about how youth from larger cities sometimes have the advantage of being seen more than those from more rural areas.
"We want to continue to help the youth and keep them out of trouble and keep them occupied. Sports teaches a whole lot more than just playing ball," Lowery said.
Lowery said they are in need of umpires and volunteers this weekend. Interested individuals are asked to contact Lowery at 434-471-6191.

Here's why the Xiaomi Mi 9T should be your next smartphone!
I am a real sucker for devices that offer impressive bang for buck, and the Xiaomi Mi 9T was just that. We have already done a full review for it, so you can check it out. Here's a summary of why you should definitely consider the Xiaomi Mi 9T if you are looking for a new smartphone without spending too much.
1. Powered by the beefy Snapdragon 730
The Snapdragon 730 is Qualcomm's premium mid-range chipset, and it does live up to its title. The Snapdragon 730 outperforms the Snapdragon 835 and Kirin 970 in benchmarks, both of which were flagship processors back in their day.
In addition to that, Qualcomm harnessed a new 8nm FinFET process for the Snapdragon 730, which promises better efficiency and performance. The best part is that you get a premium mid-range chipset without having to pay a premium price for the Xiaomi Mi 9T.
What does this translate to in real world applications? Smooth daily usage experience and a fluid gaming experience. In PUBG Mobile, you would be looking at Smooth-Ultra graphics settings which translates to around 40 fps. That's more a limitation from the game though, as the Adreno 618 is indeed powerful enough for some serious gaming, even in the graphically-intensive Honkai Impact where we saw the frame rate hovering around 54 fps with maxed out settings.
2. Most advanced triple camera setup in its price range
Instead of cheaping out and throwing in a depth sensor in there just to give you an illusion of more cameras, the Xiaomi Mi 9T gives you a 48MP Sony camera, an ultra-wide camera and a telephoto one. The three cameras perform quite admirably, as you can see in the image gallery below. Some of the images are taken by Billy Cane, Xiaomi's photographer.
48MP of Gloriousness
The new 48MP camera sensors are probably one of the best innovations to have arrived on smartphones, and the Xiaomi Mi 9T makes full use of it. It takes amazing shots with its 48MP f/1.75 primary camera, matching and even exceeding what some flagships can deliver.
Ultra-Wide Angle Camera
Since I first got my hands on a smartphone with an ultra-wide angle camera, it was one of my favorite features on a smartphone. The Xiaomi Mi 9T offers a 13MP f/2.4 ultra-wide angle camera, sufficient for some awesome shots with a wider perspective.
2x Telephoto Camera
Having a telephoto camera might be somewhat redundant with the powerful 48MP camera, but a dedicated lens to handle zooming can reveal better results than using digital zooming, especially when it comes to the field of view when taking portraits. Regardless, it is just nice to see the option on a smartphone as affordable as the Mi 9T when some "flagship" smartphones that are priced at RM2500 and above lack a proper telephoto camera.
Most other smartphones in the sub-RM1500 range offer a dual camera or less. If you are in the market for an affordable smartphone that can take some awesome photos, look no further, this is it.
3. No bezels, no notches, no cutouts!
While some flagships are still touting cutouts and notches — even Xiaomi's own Xiaomi Mi 9 flagship has a notch — the more affordable Mi 9T offers a full bezel-less display with a popup camera. There are many mid-range devices with popup camera, but the Xiaomi Mi 9T is the most affordable one of them all.
RM1199 is still unprecedented pricing for a smartphone with no bezels, so if you are after a edge-to-edge viewing experience, the Xiaomi Mi 9T is your best option. Whether it's gaming or videos, no notches will improve your viewing experience.
4. Watch movies and videos in HDR
In addition to not having the selfie camera in the way, the Mi 9T's display also supports HDR. It offers 103.8% NTSC gamut, which is a fair bit above the 100% sRGB standard. For comparison, the sRGB gamut is approximately 72% NTSC gamut, so you will be seeing much more color on the Xiaomi Mi 9T. You can now enjoy HDR in YouTube too and Netflix as well, letting you take in a more vibrant experience than on any other mid-range smartphone in the market now.
This might have been a feature that you might expect on a flagship, but now you can also enjoy it on the very affordable Xiaomi Mi 9T. And oh, there's Widevine L1 support too, so you can enjoy Netflix HD too.
5. Hi-Res Audio and a headphone jack
With such a great display, you would be silly not to connect a pair of good headphones to be able to enjoy excellent audio as well. Few phones in the market retain an audio jack, but the Xiaomi Mi 9T is one of them. And the best part is that it is Hi-Res Audio certified too. It should be one of the most affordable devices to get Hi-Res Audio certification.
The Xiaomi Mi 9T also supports LDAC, aptX, aptX-HD and aptX-adaptive for high quality audio over Bluetooth, if you decide to cut the cords down the road. There's also support for Qualcomm TrueWireless Stereo Plus for improved performance with true wireless earphones, although few headsets actually support the feature. But hey, if it does take off one day, at least you know the Xiaomi Mi 9T is ready for that.
For a smartphone that is priced from RM1199, the Xiaomi Mi 9T is one fine device that just doles out the goodies. There are probably more impressive smartphones out there, but you would have to pay a lot more for a few additional features here and there. The Xiaomi Mi 9T is definitely our choice for a sub-RM1500 smartphone.

Eyelash Extension Care and Maintenance
Lash extensions shed according to your natural eyelash growth cycle. Simply put, your natural eyelash growth cycle is the length of time before your eyelash falls out naturally. The average life span of an eyelash is between 90 and 120 days. And, of course, when your natural eyelash falls out, so does your extension. Everyone's eyelash growth cycle differs, and often eyelash extensions can last up to several weeks. On average, a person naturally loses 1 – 4 eyelashes every day. There are factors that affect how long eyelash extensions may appear to last, with one key factor being how well you take care of them. Lavish Lashes® require minimal care, but to ensure that your extensions stay beautiful and last as long as possible, follow these tips.
before getting your lashes wet. KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF YOUR LASHES,
no matter how bad you want to touch them. Don't rub, pick or pull your Lavish Lashes® to avoid permanent damage to your natural eyelash.
Caffeine and stimulants may put you in an agitated state, preventing you from becoming still and relaxed during your appointment. Refrain from consuming caffeine and stimulants before your appointment.
Avoid wearing eye makeup to your eyelash appointment. Remove mascara, eyeliner, and other eye makeup before- hand. Although the lash stylist will have eye cleanser on hand, removing eye makeup can be time-consuming and take away from your lash extension application time. Also, avoid curling your lashes ─come with your lashes in their natural state.
Bring a contact lens case and saline solution to your appointment, if you wear contact lenses. As a safety precaution you will be required to remove your lenses before the lashes are applied. Wearing contact lenses while getting lash extensions is a safety issue and may be uncomfortable. After the lashes are applied, you can put your contact lenses back in, or if more convenient, just wear glasses to your appointment.
Individuals exposed to a known allergen prior to their appointment, i.e., seasonal allergy or pet allergy being the most common, may be more likely to experience an allergic reaction to the eyelash extension adhesive. It is recommended that you consider taking an oral and/or ophthalmic (eye) antihistamine prior to your appointment.
Silence your cell phone before your eyelash extension session. While the lash extensions are being applied, your eyes need to remain closed. A ringing cell phone can be a distraction and trigger the urge to open your eyes unexpectedly.
Eyelash & Brow Lift, Tint, Design
Lash Lift $65
Lash Lifting is a great alternative to eyelash extensions or for individuals with sensitivities. Lash Lifting treatments are unlike traditional lash perms of years past. This procedure lifts your natural lashes at the root and in an upward position, creating the appearance of longer, thicker lashes, lasting from 4 to 6 weeks.
Lash Lift & Tint $80
This treatment is ideal for those that want a little extra oomph from their lashes, without the maintenance of lash extensions, or the daily use of an eyelash curler. Add tint to enhance natural lashes color and use little to no mascara.
Eye Brow Wax and Eye Brow Tint $25
Brow design cleanup and maintenance, while reducing the need for brow penciling. Lasting three to four weeks.
Eyelash Tint $20
Tinting treatments reduce the need for mascara application and can last between three to four weeks.

0Posted in: Maps DiscussionAbout the Reviews-------------------------I started playing CTM maps around when Vechs released his 8th map, "Nightmare Realm". I just fell in love with the "Complete the Monument" genre and have never been able to put it away from my heart. Recently, I've started to think "Hey, I could probably review CTM maps pretty well!". Finally, I've decided to put my skills to the test and try to review some maps and have some fun! If you would like your map reviewed, please send me a link to the map in a reply! You may also suggest a map for me to review!
Grading Scale------------------0-3 - This map was pretty darn bad. It didn't have any creativity, didn't present ANY form of a challenge, and had some bugs in it that need to be fixed.
4-6 - This map presented some challenge and had a few points of originality, but for the most part didn't get that quite down and still had some issues.
7-9 - This was a pretty decent map. It lived up to it's potential and didn't present too many buggy errors.
10-12 - I quite enjoyed this map. You have obviously put some effort into it and shown that you can make a pretty awesome map!
13-15 - This map was mind boggling! You've slapped the CTM genre in the face and said, "Your mine now!".

I've been playing on Easy mode which has most likely contributed to not dieing at all. I haven't found any records yet or the monument, which worries me.
