I just received this Call to Action that was issued by the Texas Nurses Association and thought they did such a good job describing the bill that I wanted to share it:
"SB 1415 by Senator Hegar was heard in the Senate Health and Human Services Committee yesterday, April 14, 2009 and left pending. Your Senator is a member of the committee and needs to hear from you that he or she should vote for favorably reporting the bill from committee. The Health and Human Services Committee will meet tomorrow, Thursday, April 16, beginning at 9:00 am, and we would like the committee to vote on SB 1415 at that meeting. A committee substitute was laid out (CSSB 1415)
The Committee Substitute for SB 1415 gives the Board of Nursing (BON) additional options when addressing minor violations:
1. It gives the BON a new option of taking "corrective action" against a nurse the board finds has committed a minor violation of the Nursing Practice Act or BON rule. A "corrective action" would be a non-disciplinary, administrative action.
2. It directs the BON to pilot test a new concept of "deferred disciplinary action" as an option for addressing minor violations. A "deferred disciplinary action" would be a disciplinary action in which final action would be delayed pending the nurse's successfully fulfilling certain conditions, e.g., remedial education. If successfully completed the case would be closed without final disciplinary action being taken against the nurse.
Under current law, the BON has only two options for addressing minor violations – dismiss the case or impose disciplinary action that remains on the nurse's record permanently. CSSB 1415 gives the BON a third option.
CSSB 1415 is good for patient care because it will allow the Board of Nursing (BON) to spend less time on nurses who are reported for a minor violation of the Nursing Practice Act or BON rules and more time on reports that raise a question about the nurse's ability to practice nursing safely. It is obviously good for nurses because it permits the BON to address reports of minor violations in a more expeditious, non-disciplinary manner that does not stay on the nurse's record permanently."
Are you contacting your Legislators yet about all the important bills pending involving nursing?

Texas Senate Bill 1415 - Looks good!
I just received this Call to Action that was issued by the Texas Nurses Association and thought they did such a good job describing the bill that I wanted to share it:
Tuesday, April 21, 2009
WARNING - Legislation to Watch For
If you have not been tracking legislation that could affect your nursing practice, you need to do so NOW. The Board of Nursing has a great handout listing the various proposed bills. The bills that I have been watching closely are:
**HB 998, in support [this bill makes the current contested case procedure fair and is long overdue]
**SB 1880, against [see my explanation below]
Please take the time to educate yourself on the bills and contact your Senators and Representatives to tell them what you think about the bills. Too often the actual people that are going to be affected by the bills do not voice their opinion regarding the legislation.
I am very worried about various sections in SB 1880 and that the bill is trying to fix a few isolated problems with a mighty big hammer and that the resulting effect on nurses will be very sad. This bill came in the middle of my dear friend's illness and death, so I was not able to voice my opinion but I plan on doing so now. What bothers me is that when I looked at the witness list, I did not see any organizations or individuals that had experience with the day-to-day application of the incidents this bill proposes to affect. As I said, the bill on its face seems reasonable until you know about the actual application and the unfair, adverse effects the various sections will have on hard-working good nurses. I think it is crucial that our Legislators know about the effect various sections of this bill will have on nurses and ultimately the public because this bill will cause nurses to leave nursing, thereby increasing the nursing shortage.
Please contact your Legislators now or you will have to suffer the consequences of no action. I also want to point out that, unlike organizations with paid lobbyists, no one pays me to watch these bills or to take time to contact my Legislators or to sit at the Capitol for hours to testify; I do these things because I want to try to help nurses get the best possible laws in place that protect them and the public. And some of the proposed sections that I am fighting against or fighting for would actually take work away from attorneys, so there is no compensation there either. I am taking these stands because I believe that it is the right action to take.

According to the NHS, one in ten people may experience depression in their lifetime. Recognising the symptoms and seeking help can provide the tools to manage the persistent sadness and feelings of hopelessness that can accompany the condition, as Lea Rice realised when she was diagnosed.
Ever since her teenage years, Lea would have frequent feelings of anxiety, but had no idea why.
It was common for her to go from feeling unusually happy and euphoric to suddenly feeling completely the opposite.
'I couldn't get out of bed, I couldn't stop crying and I would have constant feelings of panic. It can feel like you're drowning and you can't get back up to the surface.'
Lea felt ashamed about her feelings and would hide her symptoms from her friends and family, but she realised something was deeply wrong.
Her friends had noticed she was a bit down and to combat this she would act extra outgoing and bubbly to distract herself from how she was really feeling.
Diagnosing depression
Lea's mum had also experienced depression and recognised the symptoms so she insisted that Lea should seek support from a doctor.
When seeking medical advice she admitted to experiencing suicidal thoughts and was consequently diagnosed with depression at just 21 years old.
'When I was diagnosed with depression, it was a scary thing to address. I told my best friend immediately, but with the right support from friends and family, I learnt how to deal with it and it became easier to talk about.'
Finding the right treatment
Her GP advised trying a course of anti-depressants. They worked at first, but after a while they stopped having an effect.
'My doctor prescribed me with another type of anti-depressant to see if that would help but it made me have suicidal thoughts and gave me terrible nightmares.'
Lea's doctor explained that every person with depression is different and not all people react to medications in the same way.
Coupled with medication, Lea also began seeing a counsellor recommended by her mum, and after a few sessions started to feel like she was making progress.
'The combination of anti-depressants and seeing my incredible counsellor helps me to get through the day. However, depression is an ongoing issue in my life which can sometimes reoccur.'
Dealing with depression
Lea feels that her depression is something that she will have for life but can be controlled. With counselling and medication, she has been able to pursue her career as a content manager.
'My workplace have allowed me time off to recover, and are flexible when I experience a low period.'
Outside of work, Lea is a dancer and finds that her confidence to get up on stage can be affected by depression, but is determined to overcome this.
'I have to work first on being able to deal with the day-to-day, but the next thing I want to do is to build up my confidence again, so I can get back on that stage and enjoy performing once more.'
Support from friends and family
Even though Lea is open about her mental health, she feels that it does still impact her family and friends. She finds the condition has caused her to react instantly towards those closest around her unintentionally.
'I occasionally react negatively to the most innocent comments because sometimes I don't have a hold on my emotions, but as I and those around me learn more about my condition, it's becoming more manageable.'
Lea's advice
What advice does Lea have for those who have been diagnosed with depression?
• 'Support networks on specialist websites are a great place for you to post how you're feeling and to receive support and encouragement from others who are going through the same experience.'
• 'Talk to somebody who has shared experience. It can be difficult to put it into context to people who don't have the condition.'
• 'You really aren't alone and there are brighter days coming – the brighter days are the ones you want to hold on to when you're having a bad time.'
• 'My mum gave me some advice that I hold on to - catch the little bubbles of happiness and keep them for the bad days.'

Causes of a massive elevation in serum aminotransferases (aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) in the substance-abusing patient include viral hepatitis and drug hepatotoxicity. A patient chronically addicted to injection heroin and cocaine presented to the emergency room in a confused state and was admitted to a medical ward with an AST of 4120 U/L, ALT 3820 U/L and right upper quadrant discomfort. Investigations for viral and hepatotoxic causes for the liver dysfunction revealed only hepatitis C seropositivity. A computed tomogram of the abdomen, however, revealed a significant contusion to the right lobe of the liver consistent with traumatic injury. A motor vehicle accident, in which the patient was wearing a seat belt, and which had occurred a few days before admission and had been thought to be minor, was the cause of the liver dysfunction. Significant blunt abdominal traumatic injuries are usually managed exclusively by surgical trauma units. This case underlines the need for medical specialists to be aware of hepatic contusion injuries and to have a high index of suspicion when investigating unexplained hepatocellular dysfunction in chronic substance abusers who have been in motor vehicle accidents.

Recovery Tips to Know before Surgery Randy Wong, MD on 17 Apr 2017
People looking for breast augmentation in Honolulu, or a variety of other cosmetic procedures, have been relying on Dr. Randy Wong's skill and friendly staff for years. His low pain procedures and way of integrating complementary alternative medicine is able to make procedures as comfortable as possible, but there are still a few recovery tips that are important to be aware of prior to surgery. By keeping these pieces of advice in mind, your recovery will go much easier and you will be back enjoying life in no time.
For any surgery, including a tummy tuck in Honolulu, you will want to be sure to pick the right surgeon for your needs. Dr. Wong will help guide you through what will be taking place during the procedure and can also show you before and after pictures from previous patients to give you an idea of what results to expect. Scheduling a consultation is a great way to find out more about any procedure you're considering.
Post-op moving and massages help facilitate recovery. Especially if you've recently had a breast augmentation at Honolulu Plastic Surgery Center, massaging the implants is important. Motion helps prevent scar tissue around the implants from contracting. Giving a good massage every two hours during the first two weeks to a month after surgery is ideal.
Liposuction at Honolulu Plastic Surgery Center is another popular procedure, and just like any other procedure, it's important to avoid high blood pressure. Relax, don't get too worried or unnerved about things. Take some time to recover and don't let outside concerns bother you during this time. Similarly, avoid exercising for the next four weeks to allow your body to recover. It's generally a good idea to stay away from aspirin and other supplements that could prevent blood from clotting.
Perhaps most importantly in an effort to recover quickly following surgery is to stay in a good state of mind. As much as it is a cliche, much of recovery is mind over matter. Think about the positive outcomes of your surgery and focus on how great you will look and feel in a short period of time. The more positive energy you focus on your recovery, the better it will go. You may not be ready to hit the gym right after surgery but before long you'll be ready to do everything you've always done, and you'll look even better doing it.
Dr. Wong and his staff at Honolulu Plastic Surgery Center are happy to discuss recovery and any other aspect of cosmetic surgery with you to make sure you're ready and informed when you schedule an appointment. From liposuction to breast augmentation, Honolulu Plastic Surgery Center is skilled at anti-aging regenerative medicine and reconstructive surgery, so no matter your needs we should be able to help. Give us a call at (808)725-2114 to schedule an appointment or consultation and find to how we can help you look and feel better.

What an absurd claim!
Have you seen the television commercials for supermarket food products that claim to be made with "real ingredients"?
The absurdity…all ingredients are "real ingredients." Even the chemical stabilizers, thickeners, preservatives, and colors. Any ingredient that hasn't lived or been grown on a farm is still real. Formulation of an ingredient in some laboratory doesn't make it UNreal. It is what it is. It's real SOMETHING.

Court documents unsealed Friday revealed a federal court order to Apple Inc. to assist the FBI in unlocking the phone of alleged gang member Desmond Crawford. In a letter from Apple's lawyer Marc Zwillinger, the company refused to comply with the actions ordered by the U.S. District Court.
An affidavit of FBI Special Agent Matthew Knight described phone calls between Crawford and other members of a gang called the Columbia Point Dawgs. The calls were intercepted by the FBI.
"During our investigation of the CPD, we intercepted calls between CPD members/associates in which they discussed the use of violence to further the gang's goals," the affidavit stated.
The FBI intercepted "several calls" that revealed that Crawford was involved in several drug deals as well as the shooting of one unidentified "John Doe," according to the affidavit. For these reasons, Knight applied for a court order to be granted access to the full digital content of Crawford's iPhone, which was approved Feb 1.
The American Civil Liberties Union urged the U.S. Department of Justice to unseal all court documents relating to the case, which resulted in the documents' release Friday. The ACLU disapproved of the court order to unlock the phone, according to Technology for Liberty Program Director Kade Crockford.
"Our involvement was simply to unseal the docket in that case so that the public could see what was going on in terms of what we expected, which was the government's application for an artifact order to force Apple to help them get inside an iPhone connected to that case," Crockford said. "When the document was unsealed, that's exactly what we found."
The court order was based on the All Writs Act, which allows courts to order corporations to disclose information. Because the All Writs Act was applied in the 1977 case United States v. New York Telephone Co., the court order aimed to apply it to Crawford's case as well.
"We disagree with that interpretation," Crockford said. "The New York Telephone case does not apply to an iPhone encryption, and that's for one basic reason, which is that Apple does not actually possess any of the information that the government is seeking in these cases."
Crockford explained that while the New York Telephone Co. owned the information released to the government, as it was billing information, Apple does not own the information on Crawford's phone or any other.
"If you have an iPhone and you put your pictures on it, those pictures do not belong to Apple and are not in Apple's possession — they're yours," Crockford said. "It's totally inappropriate to force a technology company to write new software code by signing that code with its cryptographic key to a telephone that is not in its possession to obtain information that the company does not possess."
Crockford said the U.S. Supreme Court has ordered access to more than 60 phones, few of which were involved in terrorism cases. The most famous case has been one involving the Dec. 2 shooting in San Bernardino.
"Apple didn't want to do what the government was asking it to do because it knew that if the government got precedent through a court to be able to force Apple to do this in the San Bernardino case, it would be able to get precedent to force Apple to do this in every criminal case," Crockford said.
Access to the encrypted information on iPhones, Crockford explained, would be "fundamentally dangerous," as that information could be accessed by others attempting to hack the encryption.
"What that will really do is mean that there's no such thing as secure encryption, that there's no such thing as secure technology," Crockford said. "It's not just the FBI, not just the local police pursuing unlawful court orders, but also foreign governments, industrial spies, criminal hackers will have a much easier time stealing people's information when it's stored or transmitted digitally."
The letter from Zwillinger was written in response to the order from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California, and highlighted several instances wherein Apple objected the court orders.
"Apple responds that following its objection or other response to each request there as not been any final disposition thereof to Apple's knowledge, and Apple has not agreed to perform any services on the devices to which those requests are directed," Zwillinger wrote in the letter.
Several Boston residents shared mixed opinions regarding Apple's decision. Many said they disapproved of Apple's objection.
Mike Hachey, 28, of Dorchester, said he does not value rights to privacy, and Apple should comply to all court orders.
"If FBI has a warrant, Apple should comply," he said. "There's no absolute right to privacy, there never has been, and there shouldn't be."
Michael Gill, 62, of Brighton, agreed that Apple should comply with the order if there is probable cause.
"I have nothing to hide if somebody wants to listen to my cellphone conversations," he said. "You can't just do it because you feel like it. You need to have some probable cause."
Kedijah Cook, 35, of Roxbury, supported Apple in its objection.
"Apple shouldn't have to unlock the phone," she said. "It's wrong to do that to someone's private property."

Escape from New York 1.5
Snake catches up with the stars of Escape from New York, at a convention near you!
Snake Plissken finally gets to meet the awesome actor Tom "Thrill Me!" Atkins at the Monster Mania convention in Cherry Hill, New Jersey Sunday March 14th 2010. Mr. Atkins played Rheme in Escape from New York.
Tom Atkins signing a copy of the Escape from New York novelization written by Mike McQuay. This particular novel which was sent to me by my good friend Joe Thornton,was one of the many prized possessions in his EFNY collection which he started back in 1982. He sent me a copy because I didn't have one, (What a pal!) and he never in a million years thought that a star that was in the movie would ever get this close. Tom signing the book sure meant a lot to him.
Snake Plissken finally catches up with actor Charles Cyphers at the Chiller Theater convention on April 16th 2009. Cyphers played the Secretary of State in Escape from New York.

This is a dream come true for me as I got to play Snake in the web series, and meeting Mr. Carpenter was an experience I will never forget!
It was like meeting GOD! We had a certain amount of time to get in, present him with a copy of the EFNJ DVD, ask a few questions, take a quick pic and get the hell out. Kinda sounds like the plot of Escape from New York.
I really hope that he watches the video and sees the dedication and love that was put into it by all of us.
Chris .R. Notarile was inspired by John Carpenter to start making his own films, and finally got to meet him in person. Look at that grin of total satisfaction on his mug, and a triple thumbs up certainly summed up the event. It was quite a day at Monster Mania, a lot of dreams came true that will certainly pave the way to new adventures for all of us.
Here is a picture of Snake Plissken ( Hector De La Rosa ) finally meeting Cabbie ( Ernest Borgnine) at the Chiller Theater convention in 2011.

For the past four years, Daniel Taub has served as the Ambassador of the State of Israel, but will soon be making his exit from the position. Mr. Taub has been known for his witticism, as well as his proper demeanor, and due to the extensive relationships that he has built over that time span, is sure to leave an incredible void. With a level of popularity that has seldom been seen by a man in his position, Mr. Taub remains somewhat of an outlier, preferring to be addressed by his first name. Through his consistent efforts, the relationship between the United Kingdom and Israel seems to be at an all-time high, and he recently sat down with Manchester City Fan for a Q & A session, for which many things ranging from his incredible career to his personal methods for success were discussed.
Daniel Taub stands firm regarding his position to never look back, seeing it as one of the key attributes that propelled him throughout his career. When reflecting on his career over the past four years, Mr. Taub believes that, not only did he and his staff reach the goals that were set in the beginning, they have actually exceeded them. One of his major contributions during his tenure, was the opening of Israel information centers in parts of the United Kingdom that had not been reached in previous times. Reading is also one of Mr. Taub's regular essentials, believing that by reading things that are associated with the many processes in his daily life, helps to keep him focused and on track. Due to the demanding nature of the position, During Mr. Taub's time as Israeli Ambassador, he did mention having a few regrets; most notably, not taking advantage of the incredible theater options available in the United Kingdom. He also noted that during his time as the Ambassador of the State of Israel, he learned to take advantage of speaking with friends, as well as enemies, due to the idea that there is always something to be gained through conversation. Throughout his successful career, Daniel Taub has always maintained a family-first approach to life and discussed the possibility of reuniting with his family in Israel once his term has been officially completed.

Judges 21:1 And the men of Israel sware in Mazphah sayinge: there shall none of vs geue his doughter vnto any of Beniamin to wife. Judges 21:2 And the people came to Bethel and abode there till euen, before God & lifte vp their voyces and wept sore Judges 21:3 and sayd: O Lord God of Israel, why is this chaunsed in Israell that there shoulde be this daye one tribe lacking in Israel? Judges 21:4 And on the morow þe people rose vp by tyme, and made there an altare, and offered burntofferinges and peace offeringes. Judges 21:5 And the children of Israel asked, who are they among all the tribes of Israel that came not with the congregacion vnto the Lorde? for they had made a greate othe concerninge them that came not vp to the Lorde to Mazphah saying: that they should surely dye. Judges 21:6 And the children of Israel had pytie on Beniamin their brethren, and sayd: there is one tribe cut of from Israel this daye: Judges 21:7 what shal we do vnto the remnaunt of them, for to get them wyues, for as muche as we haue sworne by the Lorde, that we wyll not geue them of oure doughters to wyues,
Judges 21:8 Then they sayde, what are they of the trybes of Israel, that came not vp to Mazphah to the Lorde. Judges 21:9 And beholde there came none of the enhabitoures of Iabes Galaad vnto the congregacion. And when the people were vewed: beholde there were none of þe enhabiters of Iabes Galaad there. Judges 21:10 And the congregacion sente thether .xij. thousand men of the strongest of them, and commaunded them saying: go and smyte the enhabiters of Iabes Galaad with the edge of the swerde both wemen & children. Judges 21:11 And this is that ye shal do: vtterlie destroye al the males & al the wemen that haue lyen by men. Judges 21:12 And they founde among the enhabiters of Iabes Galaad foure hundred damoselles vyrgynis, that had knowen no man by lying with any male. And they broughte them vnto the host to Siloh, which is in the land of Canaan. Judges 21:13 And the hole congregacion sente and spake with the children of Beniamin, that were in the Rocke of pomgarnettes, and called paceablye vnto them, Judges 21:14 and Beniamin came agayne at that tyme, and they gaue them the wemen which they had saued a lyue of the wemen of Iabes Galaad. But they so suffised them not. Judges 21:15 And the people had compassion on Beniamin because that God had made a gappe in the tribes of Israel.
Judges 21:16 And then the elders of the congregacion sayde: what shal we do to the remnaunt of them, to get them wiues seing al the wiues of Beniamin are destroyed? Judges 21:17 And they sayde: there must be an enheritaunce for them that be escaped of Beniamin, that a trybe be not destroied out of Israel: Judges 21:18 how be it we may not geue them wiues of oure doughters. For the children of Israel had made an adiuracion saying: cursed be he that geueth a wyfe to Beniamin. Judges 21:19 Then they sayde: beholde there is a feaste of the Lorde yerlye in Siloh, which is on the northsyde of Bethell, and on the east syde of the way that goeth from Bethel to Sichem, and south from Libanon. Judges 21:20 And they commaunded the children of Beniamin saying: go and lye in wayte in the vyneyardes. Judges 21:21 And when ye se that the doughters of Siloh come oute to daunce in a rowe, then come ye oute of the vyneyardes, and catche you euerye man a wyfe of the doughters of Siloh, & get you vnto the lande of Beniamin. Judges 21:22 And yf theyr fathers or brethren come vnto vs to complaine, we wyl saye vnto them: haue pytye on them, because we reserued not to eche man his wife in time of warre, and therto because that ye gaue them none in due tyme, ye were to blame. Judges 21:23 And the children of Beniamin dyd euen so: and toke them wyues accordynge to the numbre of them of the dauncers, whyche they caught. And then they went and returned vnto their enheritaunce, and buylt there cytyes and dwelt in them. Judges 21:24 And the chyldren of Israell departed thence at that tyme and wente euerye man to hys trybe, and to his kynred, and went out from thence euery man to hys enheritaunce. Judges 21:25 In those dayes there was no kyng in Israel: but euerye man dyd what semed hym ryght.

Gringo Cherry
by gringokev
by gringokev
After the introduction below it's time for the awkward first blog post. It's like the first day of university. You've cut your hair, purchased 'slim' jeans because you couldn't fit the skinny ones and loaded your iPod with
Billy Joel Broken Social Scene tunes that you will play just a little bit too loudly to impress your new liberal arts friends. Except in this case you're diving into the murky interwebs - a considerably deeper pool than the Tarantino-loving, Donnie-Darko-watching, horn-rimmed-glasses-wearing 'Introduction to Cinema Studies' crowd.
You foolishly think that the scathing and impatient e-hordes stumbling upon a lolcat's facebook while taking an awkward family photo will pay any attention to your all too familiar, colourful blog site. A situation that becomes significantly more awkward when you realise that there is more than a slight chance that absolutely no one will read this post. No One. Fine - no one bar your mother, your fellow blog partner/ best friend, and perhaps, just perhaps, a German tourist in Mexico wondering what this strange word the locals are hurling at him from the street corner really means.*
Why write then? I know this is what you - the non-existent reader - must be thinking. Why? In truth, I have no idea why or even how this blog came to fruition. I was sitting at my computer two weeks ago discussing this idea with GringoLuke on Gmail chat. Fast forward and here we are with a brand spankin' new blog, Spanish exclamation marks and no readers.
Does this scare a gringo such as I? I hear you bellowing from the empty caverns of our readers' den. Well, it does a little. But, when the apple fell on Newton's head? Was he scared? I'm sure he was too. Imagine being hit on the head with an apple and formulating gravitational theory in the same day. In 2010, he'd probably post on fmylife.com, drop a short tweet about 'gravity 'n' shit' and like you, miss out on this blog.
So I urge you, invisible reader to take off your cloak. We don't expect much. We don't expect you to log off your hotmail, stop playing Farmville or delete your Flickr account. We realise that you already have your four favourite websites and that's fine. Just bookmark us and stop by from time to time. Think of yourselves as the family-friendly, cake-baking neighbours and us as the uni students next door who sometimes babysit your kids. We're nice like that.
*This is a misleading statement. I googled 'Gringo' and we show up nowhere in the first 20 pages. In fact, we do not even show up when I google 'Que Gringo'. Or 'Que Gringo Blog'. Or 'Que Gringo Blogspot'. Or even 'quegringo DOT blogspot DOT com'.
Oy vey.

Trimming Traditions
December 16, 2009 by Emily Chase
Filed under Humor, Stories
By Emily Chase
Celebration of Christmas demands that we maintain certain family traditions year after year. Some traditions satisfy the desires of eager children, while others protect exhausted parents. Here are five easy suggestions for trimming those traditions to fit the current season.
Decorating the house is the first challenge of the season. Stores begin decorating their shelves before Halloween so why not follow their example and get an early start? Combine Halloween costumes with Christmas themes and have your kids dress up as a Christmas wreath or an oversized Christmas stocking. When they come home, just have them hang the costume on the front door or over the fireplace mantel. Your neighbors have helpfully filled the stocking with candy treats so you can cross that chore off your list too.
Have you accumulated a mountain of cardboard cutouts covered with macaroni and glitter that your kids made in preschool? Your children are now in high school, and your family tree is beginning to look like more a bulletin board covered with post it notes. Start a new tradition. Recycle those ornaments! Have your children write notes on the back and send them to their former teachers as greeting cards. Think of the joy the teachers will experience knowing the child that emptied the entire bottle of glitter into the fruit punch still remembers them.
Sane families enjoy sleeping in on a holiday morning, but some children have a tradition of rising early on Christmas and waking their parents in order to celebrate the dawn. Curb their enthusiasm for those wee hours of the morning by establishing a tradition of your own: No one comes in to wake Mom and Dad until after 7:00 a.m. If this fails, go one step further: After the kids are asleep with visions of sugarplums dancing in their ipods, tiptoe into each child's room, pick up the digital clock, and reset it to read an hour earlier. After all, if Uncle Sam can instill daylight saving time, why can't we introduce sleeptight saving time? Just remember there's a reason they call it Eastern Standard Time. Set every house clock to the new time. If your kids enter your room and find your clock reading the regular time, you are busted.
Children are always eager to begin opening gifts, so release some of the pent‑up excitement by heading it off at the pass. Allow your kids to open one gift on Christmas Eve before they head to bed. If your daughter has her heart's desire set on an EasyBake Oven, hide it under the pile of gifts. You, of course, bought the special light bulbs required to heat the oven. Allow her to open the pack of lightbulbs on Christmas Eve for an unforgettable memory. Trust me, I tried this one, and my daughter has never forgotten.
Traditions accumulate like calories on a plate of cookies. Year after year, you hang cards the same way, make candy‑cane cookies, and deliver homemade bread to neighbors. As your children grow older and head off to college, simplify. Do you really need to assemble that huge artificial Christmas tree again? Cut your work in two by only assembling the top half of the tree. The tree may not look as well proportioned, but everyone will comment on how much time you saved.
Traditions can be modified, but one element should never change. This year when you rise on Christmas morning, take time to remember the reason for the season. Jesus Christ was born!
"Let us thank God for His priceless gift!" (2 Cor. 9:15, GNB)

Lisnagarvey have not been going well in the League but they have progressed in two Senior Cup ties.
They won their first round IBA Senior Cup tie away to Castle with some ease and play Ewarts tomorrow (Saturday) in the second round.
On Wednesday night they progressed to the quarter finals of the NIBA Senior Cup with a 12 shots win away to Lurgan. They travel to Banbridge or Dungannon on Wednesday, June 15.
N. Graham 27, H. Cosgrove 12; I. Craig 15, A. Briggs; P. Cromie 23, D. Gilliland 13; D. Boal 18, M. Montgomery 20.
Cup win but League defeat
Lisnagarvey B 77 (1) Warrenpoint 84 (6)
Lisnagarvey B went into Saturday's NIBA Division 4 match hopeful of following up the midweek Cup win with more points, but they only managed one.
Two fours put Alton Reid 14-4 ahead at the tenth and he added another four on the way to a 24-8 lead at 15 ends before getting a 12 shots win.
Down 7-10 at the tenth and 10-14 at 15 ends Denis Rankin lost by four shots.
Down 7-8 at the tenth Ken Armstrong was still close at 15 ends but lost by 12 shots.
At the tenth Jim Chapman was 8-12 down and it stayed much the same when Garvey lost by three shots.
T. Law, K. Johnston, J. Nelson, D. Rankin 15, O. McLoughlin 19; A. Smyth, M. Simpson, D. Porter, A. Reid 29, K. Tohill 17; M. Humpherson, S. McDowell, R. McMullan, K. Armstrong 14, R. Aiken 26; J. Shortt, R. Lemon, M. Wilson, J. Chapman 19, E. McLoughlin 22.
Lisnagarvey B 98
Donaghadee B 66
Lisnagarvey B moved into the quarter finals of the NIBA Junior Cup where they will play either Curran B or Castle B, with an easy 32 shots nwin over Donaghadee B on Wednesday night.
It was a one sided affair with only Alton Reid being held to a tie and Jim Chapman coming back well to win.
J. Chapman 24, J. Robb 15; A. Reid 16, W. Brown 16; K. Armstrong 33, J. Purdy 21; D. Rankin 25, J. Smith 14.
Malone disappointed
Malone 59 (0)
Ballymena C 115 (7)
Malone had been hoping to collect some points at home to Ballymena C in Private Greens Division 4 but they failed to get off the mark.
Terry Monro had probably the best chance but lost the last two ends to go down by eight shots.
R. Wilson, U. Ramsey, J. Wilson, E. Mairs 13, D. Greer 23; D. Magee, I. McIntyre, M. Brown, T. Monro 18, L. Lyness 26; J. Finlay, D. Brown, B. Carson, F. Thompson 12, A. Walsh 36; J. Grant, R. Collen, R. Mairs, D. Nelson 16, J. Elder 30.

We all have them – those small humiliating stories of THAT moment when our kid said just about the most awkward thing there is to say in public. Usually at top volume and with perfect diction.
So we asked our readers the question, "What is the most embarrassing thing your kid has blurted out in public?" – and boy, did you let us know!
Cue laughter (and a whole lot of cringing) now …
Same, same but different
Standing in line behind a guy with an eye patch with my then three year old. She's looking at him curiously and starts to smile as I give her the wide eyed "no" look and shake my head.
ARRRR! She yells at the top of her voice. – Melanie Tennyson
A Indian was walking past and he had a turban on his head , master 3 yells out at the top of his lungs, "Look mummy, a Genie." He starts jumping up and down excitedly saying "Can I make a wish?" Over and over 😝 I was just a tad embarrassed – Tammy Hanson
A lady in a full Burqua – full head covering except the eyes walked passed us in the shops and Master 4 with his most excited look on his face turns to me and yells out, "Mummy, mummy look! There's a ninja!!" This Mumma bear… Mortified! – Rebecca Lloyd
Mr 4 saw a burns victim in the register line at Aldi and started crying "Mum!!!! A zombie!!!" I win. It was the lowest point of my parenting career. – Lopitta Kattan Fares
All of the judgement
Today at the supermarket a lady picks up a couple of chocolate bars and my two year old very sternly shout's at her "No! Put that back now!" 😶
I know I only have myself to blame 🤷🏽♀ – Hine Broughton
We were out having a picnic by the river and my 3yo daughter wouldn't finish her lunch. I explained to her that there are people in the world who don't get the opportunity to have meals. And without skipping a beat, she points at a large gentleman about 4m away and says loudly "Is that because that man ate all their food???" Nowhere to hide!!! – Emma Betterridge
While on a plane my newly 4yr old is tapping the window, I say "Don't do that, if it breaks everyone will get sucked out of the plane!" She replies "No they won't! They're all too fat!". The people in front and behind us just started laughing. – Tahnay Viles
The art of over-sharing
How about saying nice and loud, "Yuck mum are you doing a poo? That stinks" in the public toilets when they are in the cubicle with you. Just so everyone in there also is aware. – Brydie Weston
In the cinema bathroom and it's rush hour just as the movie ended and my kid started shouting all these questions about hair. Yep. You know it. – Lan Caldera
Went to the restroom with my 2.5 year old. After I was done she asked – very loudly – "Mummy, do you want me to wipe you?" – Laura Kongvongsa-Patel
In the public toilets at the shopping centre my 3yr old son blurts out as loud as can be "Mum!! You have a front bum????" I could hear the stifled snickers and wanted to stay in there forever lol – Kim Lasogga
Up close and personal
Sitting in the doctors wait room, Mr 3 asks me about the man sitting next to us "mum, when's that man's baby coming out?" – Erin Peckham
Today at the supermarket, my 4 year old, while staring straight at the person she was referring to "Mum, is that a man or a lady?" – Kristie Day
We were in a lift and master 3 blurts out that man over there stinks. I nearly died, I think I pushed every button in lift to get out. – Chantal Buys
Check out the whole Facebook post if you want to read all the hilarious comments.

Black holes are the dream of every space enthusiast and in recent years one name has cropped up very frequently in relation to black holes, Stephan Hawking. One of his revolutionary achievements was the idea that black holes aren't completely black, i.e. they emit radiation. The prevailing classical theory of the time explained the formation of a black hole as a gravitational collapse which will settle down rapidly into an equilibrium state characterized by its mass, angular momentum and electric charge as characterized by the no hair theorem. These usually characterize a stationary solution of a black hole. However there is a classical phenomenon called super radiance in which electromagnetic waves incident in certain modes on a rotating or charged black holes are scattered with increased amplitude. This directly corresponds to an increase in the number of particles by stimulated emission.
The first law of black hole thermodynamics derived from the solutions of Einstein equations relates the change in mass of the black hole, the change in area, angular momentum, and the charge as follows,
We notice that the right hand side, change in area is always non-negative, and thus arrive at the condition for negative change in mass, i.e. the energy from the black hole is lost to the wave packet which is scattered with the increased amplitude and is known as super radiance.
This classical concept, though works sufficiently well, breaks down when the mass of the black hole is reduced to be comparable to the Planck mass g. A quantum explanation is thus required to explain this phenomenon as an alternative to super radiance.
Hawking predicted that a black hole of M solar masses would glow like a blackbody of temperature kelvins. He explained this by the use of quantum fluctuations in vacuum as a result of energy-time uncertainty given as follows,
This allows virtual particles to exist for a brief duration as particle-antiparticle pairs. When this occurs near the event horizon, one of these particles may fall inside before they can annihilate each other while the other escapes as radiation. Since the particle emitted has positive energy the mass of the black hole must consequently decrease due to the increasing negative mass.
Hawking radiation has proved to be a gateway to explain various phenomena hitherto unexplained such as, the high amount of photons when compared to baryons and the theory of quantum gravity and has served to increase the understanding of the universe to the scientific community.

A lack of understanding regarding two critical facets of student loans can have a significant impact on your wealth. Let's start with interest capitalization. When you borrow money, you have to pay for the use of that money. It's called interest. Interest is usually charged as a percentage of your outstanding principal. For the example that follows, the numbers are as follows: a single, recent graduate who has an AGI of $140,000 that will go up by 3% each year. She has $400k of student loans with an average rate of 7%. When you join one of the government repayment plans (which you would most certainly do if you had 400k of debt), your loan balance works like a line a credit. In the example, the annual interest would be $28,000 a year. Under the PAYE plan, the required monthly payment (based on your income) would be about $12,000 a year. So after the first year, not only would you not pay down any of the principal (your 400k), you wouldn't even pay all of the interest. In fact, you would have about $16,000 of "accrued interest" that would sit in a "bucket" until you either pay it off or the government forgives that debt (more on this later). Note: the $16,000 of accrued interest does not change how much interest you are paying on an annual basis. You still owe $28,000 a year in interest, and whatever you don't pay just gets added to the accrued interest column. If we played this scenario all the way out to year 20, there would be a total amount of about $620,000 in outstanding debt (the original $400,000 loan plus the $220,000 in interest that never got paid).
Now, let's fast forward to the end of year 8. Under this scenario, you would have approximately $113,000 of outstanding interest sitting in that accrued interest account. When you go to file your annual recertification paperwork (this is required each year to stay in the income-based repayment program), you are one day late. JUST ONE DAY! This can cause your interest to "capitalize." That means that in year 9, your outstanding principal amount is now $513,000, which means that instead of incurring $28,000 a year in interest (7% of 400k), you are now incurring $35,000 a year in interest (7% of $513,000). By the time you reach year 20, your total outstanding debt amount would be about (assuming you recertify in time every year thereafter): $825,000. That's $205,000 more because your interest capitalized at the beginning at of year 9.
One day of tardiness just cost your net worth $205,000… kind of. I'll come back to that in a second. So you have to make sure you recertify every year and do so on time. In fact, I recommend you start three months early. Student loan servicers may mix up or lose paperwork, entering people in the wrong plan or not all. So be diligent, file your paperwork on time and make sure you check on them.
Now you might say, "All of my debt is going to get forgiven anyway. Why does it matter?" Well, you might be right. Under current legislation and probably for those currently enrolled in these programs, that may be true. Which is why I say it "kind of" costs your net worth $205,000. This leads me to my next point…
Taxable forgiveness. When you get to year 20 (under the PAYE plan), any outstanding debt gets forgiven. Throw a party because that's really great. But… there's a catch. All of that debt forgiveness is considered taxable income. In this scenario above, you would be earning about $250,000 in year 20 (140k with 3% income increase). If your outstanding debt is $620,000 and gets forgiven, THAT MEANS YOUR TAX BILL WILL BE BASED ON $820,000 OF INCOME. You could literally owe $100,000s in extra taxes. It is imperative that you meet with a tax advisor that understands how this works. It's anyone's guess as to what your actual tax bill will be in 20 or 25 years. But be aware, as it could be more than your entire earned income for that year. If you plan to go down the route of paying the minimum on your loans, make sure that you are anticipating a potential tax bill and saving money accordingly. For some people this can be a great strategy. But if you wait until the last minute to start planning for that tax bill, you could end up in a very bad situation.

Macedonia is a young country and its economy is in transition from being more or less centrally led to being a free-market oriented one. It is making economic progress as witnessed by the growth of its GNI from 2350 US $ in 2006 to 4800 US $ in 2015. Its WB Doing Business ranking has improved from 81st place in 2006 to 30th in 2015. It now takes only 2 days and 2 procedures to start a business, as against 48 days and 13 procedures in 2006.
Macedonian employers' interests are being represented by the Business Confederation of Madeconia (BCM). DECP first contacted BCM in 2006 and signed a partnership agreement with them in February of 2009. Cooperation between BCM and DECP has focused on enhancing BCM's representativeness by increasing its membership both at the sector level and at the regional level, as well as by offering new services. DECP is also assisting BCM in its attempts to be represented in the Economic and Social Council of Macedonia.

Join me in saving lives in Israel
Rev. Jerry Clark is known for his passion and unwavering voice and support for Israel, urging Christians to be like the young Jewish orphan who became Queen Esther and saved the Jewish people from the danger of an ancient Holocaust in Persia 2,500 years ago because she no longer chose to remain silent.
Referring to Esther 4:14, Rev. Clark reminds Christians that they, too, can be instruments used by God – Esthers, if you will – "for such a time as this" when Israel and the Jewish people suffer in distress. He urges Christians to pray for the peace of Jerusalem; to speak out against anti-Israeli, anti-Semitic propaganda; to learn about their Jewish roots; and to support and financially bless non-profit humanitarian causes, especially Heart to Heart Israel, an outreach of American Friends of Magen David Adom, an organization dedicated to saving lives in Israel.
In ministry since 1987, Rev. Clark served on the pastoral staff at Calvary Temple in Fort Wayne, Ind., for 14 years. While at Calvary Temple, he made his first and a life-changing journey to Israel in 1997. Rev. Clark moved to Chicago in 2001 and worked for the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews for 11 years, raising funds for humanitarian projects in Israel.
Since 1997, Rev. Clark and his wife, Sandy Thorn Clark, who make their home in Florida, have led dozens of Bible-based tours to the Holy Land to re-trace the steps and ministry of Jesus and to experience modern day Israel.
Rev. Clark joined the staff of American Friends of Magen David Adom, headquartered in New York City, in early 2016. He is director of AFMDA's Interfaith Outreach campaign, an outreach to raise funds to supply ambulances to save lives in Israel.

The Commonwealth
The Coalition Government is committed to strengthening its commitments with the Commonwealth. As a member of the Commonwealth, the UK feeds back on its commitments under the Commonwealth Gender Plan of Action (2005-2015).
We work across the UK Government to implement its commitments on the Gender Plan of Action. It also liaises across government to co-ordinate, negotiate and present the UK's position on gender equality, including the Women's Affairs Ministerial Meeting (WAMM) and the Commonwealth Heads Of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
Commonwealth heads of government meeting
The CHOGM is the most important body of the Commonwealth. It is held every two years to review global, political and economic developments and to conduct an overview of the Commonwealth's work in support of the interests of member countries. The next meeting will be held in Perth, Western Australia, from 28 to 30 October 2011.
Women's affairs ministers meeting
Women's affairs ministers meetings (WAMM) are held once every three years in a different region of the Commonwealth and are attended by Ministers responsible for gender and women's affairs.
Summary of the last women's affairs ministers meeting
The Ninth Commonwealth Women's Affairs Ministers Meeting (9WAMM) was held in Barbados from 7 to 9 June 2010. The theme was 'Gender Issues in Economic Crisis, Recovery and Beyond: Women as Agents of Transformation'.
Information is available on the Commonwealth Secretariat's website.
Delegations from 32 countries, including the United Kingdom, attended the Meeting. We represented the UK at the meeting.
The main outputs from the meeting were:
an analysis of progress on the delivery of the Mid term review (MTR) of the Commonwealth plan of action (PoA) for gender equality
The mid term review of the plan of action for gender equality
The Commonwealth PoA provides the framework within which the Commonwealth advances its commitment to gender equality. Please refer to the following link for more information:
The UK submitted its response to the MTR in December 2009; see an analysis of Commonwealth Member Countries responses.

It's Almost Halloween!
September and October have gone by very quickly. Halloween is coming up in just over a week, and I know that many teachers will be looking for some fun activities to do with their students – especially since Halloween is on a Monday this year! Those little goblins will be bursting with Halloween excitement and will need to kept very busy at school that day!
I have compiled a list of terrific, interactive resources that work well on the SMARTboard (but also in the computer lab, mobile device/tablet, or just projected onto a screen) that all have to do with the Halloween theme. Many of these are great to tie in to literature or other activities in your classrooms. For example, yesterday I read a class the book, "Pumpkin Heads" by Wendell Minor, and to follow up did a pumpkin carving activity on the SMARTboard using a site where we "carve" pumpkins electronically and light them up for Halloween. Lots of fun!
Find the complete compiled list of interactive Halloween resources (and tons of other great stuff!) on the Smart Resource wiki. Please consider joining this wiki and adding great sites of your own that you think would work well on SMARTboards and link to the BC Curriculum.
Happy Halloween!
