Challenge Level: Easy
Did you know that smart phone boxes can waste up to 1 billion square feet of landfill (landfill is a section of earth that has been reserved for trash) every year? But they don't have to. If everyone reused their boxes, they could help avoid taking up landfill and reduce waste. Here's how I reused a few iPhone boxes I collected from family and friends. When I take something ordinary and recycle it into something cooler, I call it "upcycling". Make sure you check out my how-to video, too. And, please share this post or video to encourage others to reuse boxes and packaging.
To design the iphone 5c case below, I used washi tape on the outside and stuffed some recycled Japanese paper scraps into the box. This project took less then three minutes and I love using it for my erasers and mini pencils. It's also great to carry jewelry in when traveling.
To makeover the iphone 6 box below, I used leftover Japanese paper my mom had from another project. I simply Modge-Podged the paper straight onto the box. Make sure you modge-podge or glue carefully around the corners and press down so the paper does not puck; otherwise it makes it hard to close and open the box. I used this box to put a x-mas gift in for my ama (that's the Chinese word for grandma) instead of using wrapping paper. She kept the box to reuse, too!
The box with the cool silver polka dots in the photo below was made with a super wide new kind of washi tape I found. Super easy!
Thanks for reading this post. Would love to hear about any recycle, reuse or upcycle projects you have done.
Don't know what Modge-Podge or Washi Tape is? Then you might want to check out the Arts & Crafts Glossary & Resource Guide we created.
RESOURCES: iPhone c, 4 & 6 boxes, gold washi tape from Michaels, large silver washi tape from Joann's Craft (in store), Blue & gold paper from Paper Source, Modge Podge and red ribbon from Target.

text: "El Negro detras de la Oreja" is an ongoing series that examines the links between race, politics, and identity in the Caribbean, and focuses on issues of antihaitianismo in the Dominican Republic. In The DNA series, I use hair and family DNA testing as a metaphor to explore racial identity in the Latino culture. My Mother's family comes from West Africa, particularly from the Fula tribe, my father comes from the Middle East, of Jewish descent, and I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic. " El Negro detras de la Oreja" is very familiar saying in the DR, meaning that our mixed race will always have the black race hidden "behind our ears." It also means that we are always looking for the most efficient way to hide our African heritage and whitewash ourselves as people of "Indian" and "Spaniard" descent, obliviating any kind of linage to black culture and perpetuating the myth of the "White Dominican." This ideology was fabricated by colonization, and built into a social system based on misconstructed historical facts. This work is an examination on the Dominican Collective Consciousness and the relevance of antihaitianismo as a dominant ideology by looking at the painful story that surrounds the two peoples of the Hispañola: a History that paints a picture in where Dominicans, regardless of their skin color, are never black, only Haitians are.

And this is why I created Soul Care for the New Mom.

A Hot Air Balloon wedding in New Zealand offers a truly 'out of this world' experience. Taking off at sunrise allows you to enjoy the beginning of your day and your new life together in an original and memorable way. Canterbury's geography and climate are ideal for ballooning and there is no other place in the world where it is possible to fly from the centre of the city, in view of the sun rising out of the ocean, toward snow-capped mountains. Flights are available year round - weather permitting - and are always early morning in the cool dawn air when the winds are light. Departures can range from as early as 5.00amin the spring and summer to as late as 7.00am in winter. The balloon flight is approximately one hour but you should allow up to five hours for the whole experience from pick-up to return.
Happy Monday everyone! I have a fantastically cute wedding to share with you guys today. Denise + Dave threw their special day at their own home they recently purchased together in a small town outside of Chicago. How sweet is that? :) With the love and support from family and friends, it was a true handmade wedding. From the escort cards, to the pom-poms and special tissue garland hanging from their front porch – every detail has a bit of family love in it. Multiple generations of twins, loving friends, local foods, hand-carved details and sentimental stories. Congrats to Denise + Dave!

Different, again, is the Scotch wedding, which, as often as not, takes place in the house of the bride's mother or in a hall instead of a church. Up in the Highlands, where the wearing of the national costume is more universal than down in the southern counties, these marriages are most picturesque and partake more of the character of a festivity than a religious ceremony. They generally take place in the evening, and are followed by a supper and dancing in which the newly married pair generally join, leaving the assembly by the last train which can take them away to start on their honeymoon.

Well, whatever floats your boat.G-force wedding (Pic:Reuters)
Well, whatever floats your boat... Groom Noah Fulmore ties the knot during a zero-gravity jet flight after his bride insisted on doing something unusual.
Erin Finnegan, 30, who wore a" space fashion" white outfit, said:" I've been to a lot of boring weddings, so I wanted to do something different."
The New Yorkers experienced weightlessness as G-Force One, a modified Boeing 727-200, manoeuvred above the Gulf of Mexico. Noah, 31, admitted he had trouble lining up the first kiss - so they must have really struggled with the cake...

Washington Legislature adjourns after final votes
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — The Washington Legislature adjourned Friday after a marathon triple overtime session where lawmakers raised the gas tax to pay for transportation projects across the state, cut college tuition and put more money toward the state's education system.
Lawmakers went home Friday afternoon after the House passed its last remaining bills.
The House and Senate adjourned shortly after the House passed a transportation bonding measure, as well as a transportation spending bill for projects across the state, the final two components of a $16.1 billion transportation revenue bill passed by the Legislature last week.
The chamber also moved a separate bill that will delay a requirement for high school students to pass a high school biology exam for this year and 2016, which helps about 2,000 students at risk of not getting diplomas.
The votes came a day after the Senate took its final votes of the year, on both the graduation requirement delay, and a bonding bill tied to the state construction budget.

The Professional Gamer - July 13, 2018/
Another week in the midst of the inter-season anime drought. Funimation has been a little slow adding the last few episodes of My Hero Academia to their simul-dub collection, so I've had to find other things to watch instead. Also, I'm thinking about a new MMO now. Which I may have already downloaded and started a free trial on. So, what's going on then? Read on to find out.
On the anime front, I'm making progress with the Food Wars! dub. I'm still enjoying it, though it does take a bit to get used to the English language voice actors. The English dub does a great job adapting the comedy keeping the humor accessible. I'm currently watching the Fall Selection arch, and enjoying the voice acting for the judges a lot.
Now, in the realm of MMO's, with the recent issues at ArenaNet, I decided to find a new game to play. I know, I know. There's no ethical consumption under capitalism, but there are at least some options that are less bad. Long story short, I downloaded the demo of Final Fantasy XIV, and I'm having some fun with it. I'm still kinda in the new MMO stage where I'm learning about the game and how my character works. We'll see how it goes as I progress more, but up to this point the quests have a good mix of humor and seriousness. The complete edition is on sale currently, so it might be a good chance to get the game if you've thought about doing it in the past.
That's all for now. Have a great week and game on!

Method 3 of norovirus infection
By incorrect handling of vomiting and diarrhea, schools and hospitals, or facilities for the elderly, the outbreak seems to have happened.
The characteristics of norovirus, patients develop an infection even if the first oral, then, is that the contact infection spread rapidly, with splashes infection.
If the force and momentum that infection, because people have increased to develop an infection came out I do not have to deal neatly around.
Again, let's stop the infection, it would be important is hand washing.
Although hand washing is recommended by the method of prevention of various diseases, hand washing is effective even norovirus.
For example, before the meal is of course, also, wash your hands well after using the toilet as well, as well as after before cooking, and the treatment of vomiting, please do not forget to wash your hands.
It is hand-washing by water, using soap, try to wash your hands tightly so that there is no washing leave.
Also, please note that after washing, the towel can be passed around the family is, because it may be infected with the virus of the disease.
Should be avoided in the towel during toilet, the whole family is like that wipe your hands.
For adults, children as well as vomiting infected, some people do not cause diarrhea.
And adults of such symptoms, you may notice that he does not have an infection, they transferred to the children.
After that, in some cases, would bring the virus and the child is attending kindergarten, school, to facilities that become infected population.

Hi everybody,
Does anyone know the best way to tie into an overhanging eve when building a window bay? The rafters overhang 24 inches and the bay will protrude 16 inches from the existing wall. Also I plan on putting a header in where I cut out the wall but wonder if one is neccesary above the actual window itself. Hope somebody has encountered this situation before and can offer some advice. Thanks, Chip:)
You indicate that there is a 2-foot soffit overhang over the bay window. This strongly suggests the wall is a support wall for the rafters above and a header is required. The size depends on local factors (snow load, code), window span and your roof structure. I recommend you consult a builder or engineer on the header size. The window can be tied into the soffit with 1x trim boards to join and smaller trim over the seams. Still, the structure is the more important issue here.

The UCU union's dispute over the USS pensions scheme in older universities has been suspended for talks, following a meeting in Manchester last Thursday.
The union's leadership presented delegates with an impossible choice between suspending the action and an all-out strike.
Despite this setback, lecturers should vote yes to strike alongside other unions over pay. A pay ballot began on Tuesday of this week.
Lecturers are voting to elect a casual further education member to the UCU union's national executive committee. Socialist Worker supports UCU Left candidate Mandy Brown from Lambeth College, south London.
Lecturers there were set to strike for two hours on Wednesday of this week to defend conditions. Voting in the election ends on Thursday of next week.

There's a discussion going on in the back of my car about bad dreams. Anya is describing her dream, which involved a big white door with a white heart on it that breaks into people's homes and steals all their stuff. "It's got lots of patterns on it," she tells me.
"Can you draw it for me?" I ask.
"Yes. It's a beautiful door, but it's very mean."
"Yeah, I'd like to be on the look out for it, so would love to have your drawing."
Lily speaks up then about her own bad dream involving a little dog, a beach and a crab.
"Anya," she says, "if you have another bad dream and it wakes you up, just say, 'GO AWAY BAD DREAM' in a very angry and fierce voice."
Anya nods a solemn yes, vowing to use this technique next time.
"Does that work?" I ask, wondering if she really had found a way to banish the bads.
"No. Not for me. But it might work for Anya," she retorts.
And this is why I adore kids; there is no sense that the world works in a singular way. Just because a technique is unproven doesn't mean it won't be proven one day with another person who's chemistry might be different. It just might work for a person who is more open to it, perhaps.
Of course, I may have just smashed that for Anya by asking the question. Lily spoke with such conviction that Anya could have been totally willing to believe and therefore, it could have been the answer she needed to get through the next bad dream.
Ah well, I'll learn how to keep my mouth shut and mind open someday.

Most of you who know me also know Kevin Mayer (otherwise known as Rude Kevin). The two of us will be playing an acoustic concert on Saturday, February 6th at 6:00PM. The reason for this, aside from our love for music, is to raise money for our trip to Ecuador this March with Hands for Humanity. This organization is a nonprofit charitable foundation reaching out to meet the needs of the underserved children of Ecuador. The focus is to enhance quality of life through medical and surgical exchange programs, local service projects and cultural enrichment opportunities. Kevin and I will be working at an orphanage in Portoviejo.
The show is free, all we ask is that you donate what you can afford and enjoy the music.
The set will include some cover songs and some originals. BUT: you can request a song for a donation of $20! Send me a message with the song & artist, and we'll see what we can do to learn the song and play it for you at the show!

What kind of Ultrasound equipment do you use to perform the 4D Ultrasounds?
We use the state of the art and top of the line technology GE Voluson 730 to perform our Ultrasounds. This machine is the best 2D, 3D and 4D Ultrasound machine available. Only the GE Voluson 730 generates 3D images with amazing clarity and gives you the same clarity with 4D imagery of your baby in motion. Our ultrasound equipment allows you to see your baby in live motion video.
Is the 4D Ultrasound covered by Insurance?
At this point, insurance does not cover the costs of our Ultrasounds. Since this is an elective procedure and is not intended to be a replacement for your doctor ordered Ultrasound, you will need to pay the cost of this Ultrasound as an out of pocket expense. We accept cash, Visa, MasterCard, and debit cards. Expecting mothers must currently be under physician's care.
Are you able to tell the sex of the baby?
In the majority of cases we can provide an indication of the sex of the baby during the very first session, as early as 15 weeks. We can't however guarantee that the baby will cooperate during your session. Certain factors such as body tissue content, developmental stage, umbilical cord location, fetal position and amniotic fluid all affect the ability to determine sex and clarity of photographs and videos. Each Ultrasound is unique; this is a fun experience. Early Gender Determination is NEVER 100%.
What if we can't get good photographs of the baby?
We offer a free rescan if we aren't able to get a photograph of the babies face. We will make every effort to obtain a number of quality pictures during your appointment. Again, be sure to drink a lot of fluids several days prior to your appointment.
Can I bring my family and friends?
Absolutely! In fact, we encourage our clients to invite family and friends to attend the elective 4D Ultrasound session. This is a joyous and wonderful experience, one that can be shared with your family and loved ones. We can comfortably accommodate up to 8 people in our comfortable atmosphere.
How far along should I be before I have a 4D Ultrasound?
If you plan on having only one 4D Ultrasound, we would recommend having it performed between the 26th and 34th week of the pregnancy. However, good images of your baby may be obtained anytime after about 15 weeks of pregnancy due to the fact the baby has less weight, however you may see the baby tiny as it may weigh less than a pound. Many mothers obtain more than one 4D Ultrasound and have images to enjoy and compare from their second and third trimesters. Most mom's want to see how their baby grows, reason why they come several times during the pregnancy.
How long does the 4D Ultrasound take?
Depending on the package you choose, the 4D Ultrasound session will last between 10 to 25 minutes. Adding the photographs and video to DVD or USB may take up to an additional 15 to 30 minutes depending on the package you have selected.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes, appointments are necessary for all Ultrasound visits. If you are coming to browse our baby clothing then no appointment is necessary. If you require a specific time or day, it would be best to book ahead otherwise. You can call us the same day to see what we may have available.
Is it safe? Are there any risks to me, or my baby?
Extensive studies over 30 years have found that Ultrasound has not been shown to cause any harm to mother or baby. Routine scanning of all pregnancies is now normal throughout the United States. In 3D/4D scanning exactly the same type and intensity of Ultrasound is used as with conventional 2D scanning. 3D and 4D Ultrasound both utilize sound waves to look inside the body. 4D Ultrasound will be similar to a conventional scan in terms of exposure.
Take notice, most elective ultrasound studios advertise and sell precious heartbeat animals. Recording your baby's heartbeat requires adding an unnecessary element to the session. Our Certified Sonographers highly recommend that this sweet sound be heard and recorded during your doctors visit.
Does this take the place of an Ultrasound at my doctor's office?
No, Women seeking an elective prenatal Ultrasound must already be receiving treatment with a healthcare provider for prenatal care and have their due date, its preferred that they have already undergone an ultrasound by their doctor to look for any abnormalities or other pregnancy related issues. Please note, at no time is this exam to be used in place of a complete diagnostic Ultrasound.
What is an elective prenatal Ultrasound?
We offer elective 2D, 3D & 4D prenatal Ultrasounds to provide a positive bonding experience for the mother, father and family members with the unborn baby. We feel that realistic images provide a connection between the parents and baby that can be beneficial to the whole family.

The Sound of Cranes Flying Over
And that brings me to my point. Earlier this year scientists discovered how the crane makes this remarkable noise, that can be heard for kilometres.

That's nasty about the tomatoes...ReplyDelete
especially when one thinks that it would have been someone who KNEW he was away in hospital...
poor guy, he must feel terrible.
It's like allotment thefts...
often it isn't from outside the allotment, but insider work....
and you can't help but wonder which b'stard it was!!
Tim: It particularly bothers me that it must have been someone who knew he wasn't there, as you say.ReplyDelete
Isn't that terrible about the tomatoes? It was bad enough having blight.ReplyDelete
Fraussie: I suspect that's why his tomatoes got stolen, because it's been a very mixed year for tomatoes. Lots of people had their crop fail.ReplyDelete
The cranes make a wonderful sight.ReplyDelete
How terribly mean to steal the tomatoes. It makes one wonder whether the thief knew he was in hospital, which makes the crime even more despicable!
And we have such faith in French honesty, as demonstrated to me so many times in the last 10 to 12 years. It is extremely unkind and one hopes that the thief will be 'found out'. Whatever we do will come back to us!ReplyDelete
Gaynor: I feel sure it was someone who knew he was away.ReplyDelete
RIF: Indeed many more people are scrupulously honest here than not.

Three local legislators will host a Facebook Live panel and answer questions regarding child care legislation they have introduced this session.
The lawmakers include Sen. Claire Wilson, D-Auburn, vice chair of the Senate Committee on Early Learning and K-12 Education; Rep. Kristine Reeves, D-Federal Way; and Rep. Tana Senn, chair of the House Committee on Human Services and Early Learning.
The live-streamed event happens at noon on Wednesday, Feb. 6, via Wilson's Facebook Live feed at https://www.facebook.com/SenClaireWilson.
The child care industry is a $500 billion economy and generates 15 million jobs, according to the legislators. Working parents need access to quality and affordable child care to raise healthy families. Over the last decade, the cost of child care has drastically increased, forcing families to make hard decisions about how to best care of their kids.

Here we go guys and gals, after a lot of brainstorming I finally have a relay race scenario for all of my fellow Tail Feathers players! I have listed the basic rule set first, followed by a series of photos to show off how to set up and handle various situations as you race! If you have any questions or want to contribute to the idea feel free to do so!
Scenario Name: Relay for Resources
Scenario Story: In a desperate attempt to end the battles in the northern reaches of the woods the Downwood Militia sent a siege party out to try and burn down the nest of the wicked black birds that had made winter preparations so difficult. Zure was sure that if the Vermin Raiders lost their nest they would leave. What none of the mice in the war room had expected though was that as the Oakguard snuck into the dark and twisted tree that night, a storm was brewing under the cover of darkness as well. The mice had infiltrated without much problem, lit the nest, and scurried off. The smell of burnt wood and waste begin to fill the forest air, along with screams and orders coming from the frantic rats that were stationed there. That's when the storm released its first crack of lighting and the winds quickly climbed to full speed, carrying sparks from the fire into the rest of the forest. Before long the entire forest was dancing in flames, nothing and nobody was safe. Zure ordered the other mice to begin evacuating as him and the other riders mounted their trusty birds. There was no hope for saving the forest now but the least they could do was collect the food and twigs that they had been fighting so hard to gather in days past. Apparently Snag had the same idea, because as the mice took off he saw those blasted black birds in the distance ... flying right towards the bushes as well. That's when Zure knew this night would be a battle of speed rather than strength.
Starting Setup:
Number of Players - 2 to 5
Nest Points - 0
Victory Condition - Be the first player to collect the majority share of berries and twigs, and return them to the starting nest.
Special Mission - None
Scenario Setup:
Each player picks a single bird and pilot. If only two players are playing each player may then pick one additional bird and pilot. Players may pick any bird and pilot combination, there is no point limit in this scenario. Action cards are not used in this scenario.
Scenario Special Rules:
Combat - Players cannot attack, swoop attack, or defend in this scenario.
Tilting - PLayers may tilt their birds normally before moving on their turn, they may make a piloting check after tilting and before moving as well.
Death Spirals - If during a player's turn a death spiral would initiate, resolve that death spiral normally. However if the result is a tie, the death spiral still ends and the birds are returned to their flying positions as they would normally be.
Burning Leaves - If a bird's flight path crosses, ends with a burning leaf or a burning leaf drifts into a bird return that leaf to its starting branch. Add 1 wound to that bird/pilot.
- If a burning leaf drifts across a berry token, place it under that token. That leaf is considered to still be drifting. If it ends its rotation under the token, the leaf remains and is still considered to be drifting.
- If a burning leaf touches a branch return it to its starting branch.
- If a burning leaf touches a tail feather token, remove that token from play. After each player has taken a turn, flip and remove tail feather tokens as you would at the end of a normal round, before drifting the leafs.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________________
The basic idea of the relay race is that each player is racing their bird to collect the majority share of resources on the battlefield (i.e 4 of 7 for two players, 3 of 7 for three players, etc.) Once a player has collected a resource they must return to the starting nest to score that point. If their bird/pilot is destroyed while carrying a resource, that resource is placed where that unit was before it was destroyed. The first player to score the majority points wins. If only two players are playing then they may each pick an additional bird to start on the opposing trees trunk. Once the bird in flight touches that tree overlay with its base, you may exchange that unit with your other unit. Remove all wounds and status markers from the bird that just landed. If a bird is destroyed it must begin its next turn from the starting nest. To begin the race players roll off two dice each and score the numbers, highest number goes first. The first player places their unit inside the starting nest, at center tilt, and may take a normal movement. Then each player continues to do this until all players have taken their first turn. Once that is done flip the leaves from green to orange and drift them each one rotation. Orange indicates that the leaf is on fire. When a leaf is placed back on its branch, place it orange side up. There is no normal rounds, instead players continue to rotate taking turns. After every player has taken a turn, which will be dubbed a round always drift the leaves one rotation, as you would at the end of a normal round.
The Battlefield
Starting set up for two players (for 3 or more each player launches their birds one at a time, as described above)
Tagging the tree to swap birds
The leafs flipped, to show that they are now on fire! (They dont start on fire, to aid with the balance of starting the race. You could just start them on the orange side but remember they are not flaming leaves until after everyone's first turn)
Some examples of where the flaming leaves may end up.

Drugmakers Raise Prices on Hundreds of Medicines
New analysis shows Allergan setting the pace with increases of nearly 10% on more than two dozen products
Pharmaceutical companies are ringing in the new year by raising the price of hundreds of drugs, with Allergan PLC setting the pace with increases of nearly 10% on more than two dozen products, according to a new analysis.
Many companies' increases are relatively modest this year, amid growing public and political pressure on the industry over prices. Yet a few are particularly high, including on some generics, the cheaper alternative to branded accounting for nine out of 10 prescriptions filled in the U.S. Overall, price increases,...

This Blending Syllables Name Game lesson plan also includes:
What a fun way to practice segmenting words into syllables! Engage learners by using their own names, spoken by Mico the puppet (or one of your favorites). Mico announces names slowly, syllable by syllable. If scholars have a single-syllable first name, he uses middle or last names (this also keeps them on their toes). Once they recognize their names, they stand. Extend the objective by also naming an object in the room for the standing pupil to point to. Also, you could assign a skilled learner to be the puppeteer for a round.

With Christmas fast approaching, I want to thank you for everything you have achieved in 2017.
You should all be proud of the positive contribution you've made to the lives of those you care for.
As nursing staff, we each have the power to influence how care is delivered, whether this is in the workplace, in branch meetings, at RCN Congress or through our campaigns.
This year, a particular highlight of mine was the way in which members from across the UK, both in the NHS and independent sectors, rallied in support of our Scrap the Cap campaign.
I was fortunate to attend many Scrap the Cap events and I was inspired by the people I met, your passion and professionalism, and the way in which you won the support of both colleagues and the public.
You showed the same enthusiasm in meetings with MPs and other elected representatives.
The 1% pay cap may be scrapped but our campaigning won't stop until nursing staff have received a meaningful pay award. It's important we do not lose the energy built up this summer while we await the new pay offer in spring 2018.
Our safe staffing report, published in September, laid bare the terrible impact that nursing shortages are having on the care you provide.
The current situation is unsustainable, so next year we will build on the progress made in Wales and, more recently in Scotland, to campaign for UK-wide legislation to guarantee safe and effective staffing.
There are unprecedented changes happening to nurse education and new roles being created which will affect us all. With change comes uncertainty, but, from my experience, it's better to influence change than let it happen to us.
So I ask you all to recognise your power and influence. Nursing staff at all levels are leading innovative work to improve the way we care for our patients. Let us celebrate this fact and continue our hard work in 2018.
Finally, I hope those of you working over the festive period will have the opportunity to spend time with loved ones.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Facebook's goal for 2018 is to help you have deeper interactions with the people you care about.
Similar to LinkedIn, the interactions, shares, and comments made by your personal connections will rank higher on your news feed than content from a business page or news source.
Here's how your company can work with the recent changes:
Person to person will be more valuable than person to page
We encourage your team to follow your business page and engage with the content (like, share, comment) from their personal Facebook profiles
When sharing content from a business page to your personal network, introduce the post with a unique question or statement that sparks conversation
Show rather than tell with live video. Feature your team, product launches, or answer FAQ's (to name a few!)
Connections with people in your network will get the biggest boost because interacting with people you are close to is more meaningful
Invite friends, colleagues, and clients to like your business page through a personalized Facebook message. Make sure they follow your page to get the latest updates!
Prioritize exchanges that reflect more time and care
Have more interactions that require effort such as crafting long and thoughtful replies
Interact with others by liking and sharing great content. Tag your Facebook connections to extend the posts reach

Oregon is cutting an effective program to help mothers in prison stay close to their kids.
Sign the PETITION to save this program!!!
December 10th, 2014 BETH SLOVIC | News Stories
In 2008, Eva Guzman arrived at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Wilsonville, to begin a sentence for robbery. Eleven days later, she gave birth.
"I had my daughter," says Guzman, now 33. "And then she was gone."
Guzman was already the mother of two children, 3 and 6. In that way, she was not unique; two-thirds of female prisoners in the United States are mothers, according to the Women's Prison Association in New York.
But Guzman's story behind bars has an unusual ending. When Oregon prison officials released her in August 2013, she had developed stronger bonds with her children, thanks to an intensive rehabilitation program at Coffee Creek, called the Family Preservation Project.
The 4-year-old program encourages and helps women to stay in touch with their children, engage in their lives even while in prison, and learn parenting skills many of the women lack.
"If I didn't have the program, I wouldn't be where I am today," says Guzman, who now works as a technician at a residential treatment center in Seaside.
A study published in June by Portland Community College called the Family Preservation Project "a laudable and effective approach" and called on the state to keep the program going.
Now prison officials are cutting the program.
Kim Brockamp, assistant director of the offender management and rehabilitation unit at theOregon Department of Corrections, says the state agency faces a $37 million shortfall in its current budget, and the program is too expensive for the number of prisoners it serves.
Advocates for the program say the decision to cut it is shortsighted; it should be expanded rather than axed.
"Women need to keep their bonds with their kids," says Jammie Sherriff, a 2011 graduate of the program. "I wish the program could be open to more women."
At first blush, the program looks pricey: $300,000 a year for 2½ staff positions, supplies and other expenses. It currently serves just 11 women, 17 children and 22 caregivers—often family members looking after the inmates' children. The program has graduated another 23 women, none of whom have returned to prison.
Compared with the Corrections Department's total two-year budget, however—$1.4 billion and 4,500 employees—the program is tiny.
Still, Department of Corrections Director Colette Peters asked her agency to cut spending. The program was one of the most expensive per inmate. "It's just not good fiduciary responsibility to continue this program," Brockamp says.
State Rep. Jennifer Williamson (D-Portland) says Corrections is cutting the program without offering any alternatives. She's meeting with prison officials next week to find a possible solution.
"Right now, it's this or nothing, and nothing is unacceptable," Williamson says.
The Family Preservation Project grew out of an Oregon Department of Education program started at Coffee Creek in 2003. Corrections later took it over.
Guzman was arrested at age 27 for a crime she committed at 16. Police said she had served as a lookout during a robbery that resulted in a 37-year-old man's death.
Some aspects of the program—the workshops, the parenting classes, the group sessions—almost turned her off. Guzman says she was "a really hard case" because she lacked coping mechanisms, and she recalls she nearly quit.
"'I'm done with this thing,'" she says she told the group during a particularly tough session. "I walked down the hall, and I was crying. I looked back, and I saw they were all smiling. I said, 'Can I come back in?'"
The program allowed Guzman regular visits with her kids, kept her in contact with their teachers by phone, and helped ease the stress on her children's caregivers. That's what drew Guzman to the program—the promise of relationships with her children.
"I just wanted to see my kids," she says.
Documentary filmmaker Brian Lindstrom, who directed Alien Boy: The Life and Death of James Chasse, has been filming the Family Preservation Project since April for a film tentatively titled Mothering Inside. He says the project helps women understand how they came to be in prison, and how to break the cycles of poverty, addiction and incarceration that could ensnare their children.
"This program is deep and it transforms the lives of not only the women but their families," Lindstrom says. "I truly believe that if this program were expanded, it would significantly reduce recidivism, and shouldn't that be the goal?"
Emma Moore-Montgomery, 31, went to prison in 2007 for criminally negligent homicide and driving under the influence, crashing the car she was driving and killing her passenger, the father of her 3-year-old son. She was released three years ago after serving nearly a four-year sentence.
The Family Preservation Project helped Moore-Montgomery maintain a relationship with her son and work through the pain she had caused the mother of the man she killed.
"Coming home would have been hard, because [my son] wouldn't have had even a partial mother figure," Moore-Montgomery says. "That program helped us still be mothers as much as we could."

'Studies in the freshman year are not state-funded'
German education is available at a reasonable fee and the cost of living is also quite cheap but universities discourage part-time jobs for students reports Vimal Chander Joshieducation Updated: Jul 14, 2010 10:24 IST
Germany is known for research and development. Not only does its industry embody pathbreaking technology but its universities (especially TU9 which are parallel to America's Ivy League varsities) are the proud alma maters of Wendelin Wiedeking (CEO of Porsche), Kofi Annan, former secretary general of the United Nation, Carl Benz (founder of Mercedes) and Rudolf Diesel, inventor of the diesel motor.
Bernd Kraus, executive director of Freshman Institute, Aachen University of Applied Sciences, talks to HT Horizons about the scope and career opportunities for aspiring engineers in Germany.
Why should one go and study in Germany, and more particularly at Aachen University?
Cost of living is one of the cheapest in Europe, which is around Rs 4 lakh per annum. German companies and universities are known all over world for their technological innovation and research. And education is available at very affordable price because it is state-funded for both domestic and international students.
Students have to spend huge money (Euro 16000) in freshman year before three year's graduation starts and the fee for the remaining three years is quite low (Euro 1300 per annum). Why is there such a huge gap?
Freshman year's education is not funded by the government. The university has to raise funds on its own for that. In the freshman year, students are trained in German so that they can grasp the lectures given in German language during last two years of graduation.
Why are international students taught in German, and not in English?
There are certain programmes which are taught only in English (such as business administration) and some of them are taught in both English and German (such as electrical and mechanical engineering), while a few are taught completely in German. It depends on the student what he chooses to do.
The programmes which are taught in both the languages entail first year's study (subsequent to freshman year) in English and rest of the two years in German language. We want students to understand German technology in the local language.
But don't you think it deters international students from studying in a foreign language?
No, it works to their favour. If you wish to work in a German company anywhere in the world, including India, then you will be given preference because you know both the languages. It makes you better than the technocrats who know only English. We get a fair number of international students. Currently, we have 30 per cent of them. Out of 2,500 students studying at Julich campus, around 800 are of foreign origin.
Does the university assure accommodation to international students in the campus?
We don't have campus system in Germany. The university is spread across the town, housed in different buildings. Accommodation is mostly provided by the private parties. But it is normally located in close proximity to the university building.
Are there any opportunities for students to stay back?
One is free to stay for a year after the completion of graduation and one can look for a job during that period.
Can students also do part-time jobs during their stay as students?
They can do it, but we don't help them find part-time jobs. If they do so, there are chances that they will take longer time to finish studies. We always discourage students from doing part-time jobs.

MySims Kingdom Hands-On
We play EA's upcoming portable MySims game where trouble is brewing.
GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.
MySims Kingdom on the Nintendo DS doesn't exactly put you into the heart of King Roland's kingdom as it does in MySims Kingdom for the Wii. Instead, your goal is to revive your section of the island after a mysterious person in black swoops in to suck away flowers, shrubbery, and even houses. The overall theme is similar to the last MySims for the DS where you were in charge of luring back the inhabitants of the island by doing various miniquests for the individuals that you met. Along the way, you will have minigames to keep you occupied, and, of course, it wouldn't be a Sims game if customization wasn't included.
After creating our sim, we met up with the new mayor, Ellen. Apparently, our character had been on vacation for a while, so everyone was very excited to have us back. Ellen finally hands over the key to our home, and we bring back our furniture from storage. Then, our first night in town is interrupted when we wake up to find that someone has come by and cleared out most of the town. King Roland, the ruler of the kingdom who likes to drop by for surprise visits, is very distraught, and so our adventure begins because it's up to our custom-made sim to revive the island.
We immediately met up with the slightly crazy scientist next door-- Dr. F-- and got a hold of an extractor, a handy item that allows you to suck the essence out of outdoor objects. This extractor can also be upgraded with parts that you conveniently get as a gift when you help out the locals. Essence is collected from a variety of sources, and soon, we were introduced to a Synth-O-Matic, a device that allows you to combine different essences to create an object out of thin air. Using the touch screen, you drop your essences in the device and manually shake it or choose the automatic shaker. Each combination can have several outcomes, so it can take multiple tries to see all the possible creations. Synthing and collecting essence alone is a game in itself, especially when your battery runs out quickly and doesn't recharge until the next day. You will need to pay attention to the time of day because it will affect whom you can talk to, what minigames you can play, and which stores you can visit. Sleeping isn't always necessary, and you can choose to lie down for however long you want.
Scattered throughout the island are minigames that you can play to earn money. You can play tennis where the first person to reach 11 points wins. You can help Ellen distribute vegetables by playing her Vegetable Vendor minigame, which requires you to pass out the correct vegetables to the customers within a certain amount of time. The kayaking game takes a little getting used to, considering you have to balance the stroke of your stylus on each side of the kayak, but you can play it multiple times for a small fee. Ghost Blasters is an enjoyable but easy minigame where you tap all the ghosts that appear onscreen.
There is also an ongoing minigame that you can play to help repopulate the zoo. It seems that all the animals have taken off, so the zoo keeper has asked you to take photographs of animals and bring them to him so that he can catch the animals. You are given a camera that you can use at anytime to take pictures, but you are limited to three save slots for the pictures.
The pace feels a little slow because you spend quite a bit of time running back and forth. Because everything was stolen, the environment is also pretty barren when you begin. However, like other open-ended games of the past, there is a lot to do, and it can definitely keep you entertained for hours as new areas are made available. We didn't get a chance to check it out, but there is a multiplayer option where you can play the minigames against a friend.
MySims Kingdom for the DS is scheduled for release this fall.

Affinity Groups
Affinity Groups at FAU provide first-year students with the opportunity to engage with peers who share their major and/or interests. At some other institutions you will hear the terms learning communities, living learning communities, or first-year interest groups, at FAU we call these Affinity Groups.
Affinity Groups are open to both first-year residential and commuter students! Residential students will live with other Affinity Group students in their residence hall (space is limited after May 15) and commuter students will be engaged through the SLS course and the co-curricular programming happening on campus in the residence halls. Students will work with their advisor to build their specific course schedule and will enroll in SLS 1412 or SLS 1503, which will be specific to their Affinity Group. In addition, students will be exposed to a variety of events and programs outside of the classroom that connect directly to their Affinity Group. Overall, data shows that students who participate in an Affinity Group or a similar group (e.g., learning community) attain higher GPAs and higher first-to-second year retention.
Residential students interested in living in an Affinity Group apply directly in their Housing application. Commuter students can apply within the Owl Done portal. Students who applied to an Affinity Group should watch their FAU email account for acceptance and next steps. Reach out to the Student Success Initiatives team with any questions by emailing email@example.com.
Use this search field to filter through the different Affinity Groups.
|Affinity Group Name
|Join other students interested in the global study of business! As the 10th largest college of business in the nation, FAU offers a wide variety of traditional business majors (i.e., marketing, finance, management, et al.) plus some truly cutting edge areas such as hospitality and tourism management, health administration, entrepreneurship, and forensic accounting. As part of the Affinity Group, you will bond with members of the business community, form strong study groups, and visit many areas of the college of business complex. You'll be inspired by cutting edge faculty members from multiple business disciplines to help you on your future journey.We welcome you to consider the FAU College of Business Affinity Group!
|Criminal Justice
|The Criminal Justice Learning Community is designed for first-year students who are committed criminal justice majors. As members of this community, they have the option to participate in educational, social and community service programs that will help them feel at home at FAU and introduce them to opportunities in the criminal justice field.
|Engineering Owls
|Due to the extremely rigorous and structured nature of the engineering/computer science curriculum, it is critical that first-year students are provided with a comprehensive support system that incorporates a supportive community, academic support, professional development opportunities and social activities. By providing hands-on guidance throughout their first year, this AG will help ease the students' transition to Florida Atlantic University, enhance student's on-campus experiences through strategic campus activities, expose students to various university-wide opportunities to engage in student clubs/organizations, undergraduate research, internships and much more.
|First Generation
|The First-Generation Affinity Group is a housing opportunity that connects First-Generation students to create a community and cohort on FAUs campus. First-Generation students are more likely to suffer from impostor syndrome and not have a concrete support system which leads to them either dropping out, transferring, or taking much longer than their peers to graduate. By starting a First-Generation Affinity Group, a social and academic support group can be started as soon as First-Generation Students reach campus.
All students that are first in family to go to college and by creating a cohort for them earlier on, roots and support (both social and academic) for these first-generation students will start early. The community will benefit Residential Education, FAU, and ultimately students by giving an insight on what first-generation students need to succeed on this campus. Considering that there are over 8,000 students who identify as first-generation, this community will give us insight on how to better serve that population of students.
The purpose will be achieved through a planned curriculum and group meetings which allows bonds to form early in the year as well as peer and staff support.
|Freshman Learn
Separate application required
|Freshman Learn (F-LEARN™) is an affinity group that focuses on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students' academic success. By working with on-campus partners, F-LEARN™ provides a select group of first-year students an inquiry-based/hands-on learning experience through an early research opportunity that is generally reserved for upper-level students. For more information, and to apply, visit the Freshman Learn website.
|Heart of Healthcare
|Health Care is a huge part of our economy, our political agenda, and our personal futures. Many students have a general interest in health-related matters, and those interests are both widely diverse and closely interrelated. Are you considering becoming a health care provider, going into health economics, becoming a journalist with a specialty in health care, going into health law, becoming a politician with a special interest in health, pursuing a career in medical research, or in any other way have a strong interest in health-related matters? This affinity group provides you the opportunity to share that interest in your living environment with others in health-related majors who want to learn and explore together with you.
|La Casa FAU
Beginner/Intermediate Language Proficiency Required
|Don't just study and speak the language – live it! La Casa FAU coordinates academics and a living space with a shared interest in the Hispanic culture and Spanish language. Led by faculty from our Spanish Studies department, fully immerse yourself in the culture and language for two semesters and learn to think more expansively about the Spanish speaking world. Enhance your residential experience by navigating day-to-day life while interacting in Spanish with your room, suite and floor-mates. This affinity group is recommended for non-native speakers who have taken at least two years of high school Spanish or a beginner's Spanish course in college, and Spanish heritage learners. Spanish heritage learners are students who grew up speaking or hearing Spanish at home or int heir community, who have had no formal Spanish courses, and who have been educated predominately in English. Proficiency: intermediate or below.
|LEAD and Serve
|This community will serve first-year students living on-campus. The overall purpose of the community will be to build on leadership development activities and experiences that participant students may have had in high school (i.e. Student Council/Government, Yearbook, etc.) and connect them with leadership development programs and activities at FAU (i.e. Freshman Class Council, student organizations, iLead, etc.) The purpose will be achieved by student attendance at iLead, a Day of Service (Weeks of Welcome and/or Homecoming), Fall Hot Topic Institute, and more. Students will then be able to make meaning out of their experience through in-class reflection.
|Media and Communications
|Are you fascinated by the news media or sports communication? Do you see yourself as an investigative journalist, a TV reporter who asks the hard-hitting questions in interviews, or a production professional working behind-the-scenes in print, television, or digital news media? If you answered "yes" to any of these, the Media and Communications Affinity Group is for you!
|Mind, Body, Behavior
|The Mind, Body, Behavior Affinity Group provides first-year exercise science, psychology, and neuroscience students with the opportunity to live and learn together while exploring potential careers in physical therapy, physician's assistant, occupational therapy, athletic training, and other medical fields. In addition to living with others who share your passion for the sciences, sports, and exercise, you will receive intentional academic support through advising, tutoring, and study groups to promote the transition to the major and the FAU community. Lab and facility tours, guest speakers, and other activities are designed to help you explore career options and provide opportunities to meet with professionals in the field.
Department Approval Required
|The Nursing Affinity Group is for first-year students who have been admitted to the FAU Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing. The mission of this affinity group is to give students an introduction into the field of Nursing, the skills needed to be successful in the career, and to provide a network of support from classmates, faculty, and mentors.
Instructor Permission Required
|The Pre-Health Professions Affinity Group is available for students considering Pre-Health Professions majors including: pre-med, pre-veterinary, pre-optometry, pre-dental, and pre-pharmacy. Admission to a Medical/Professional school is a very complicated and competitive process that requires exceptional grades, community involvement, and leadership experience. This affinity group helps students learn the keys to being competitive applicants, while providing the support necessary for students to excel in the science curriculum.
|Pre-Law Affinity Group
|The Pre-Law Affinity Group PLUS will offer both a starting point and ongoing support for FAU students who are considering law school. In support of this mission, PLUS will coordinate and provide a variety of services to aid students in three objectives: 1) Exploring the legal field; 2) Identifying FAU resources; and 3) Building a foundation for law school applications.
This Affinity Group will benefit Residential Education and FAU by providing a platform for existing FAU groups such as the Undergraduate Law Journal and Phi Alpha Delta with new opportunities to collaborate. FAU students interested in pre-law will also benefit from opportunities to connect and to access campus-wide resources. The Affinity Group will also benefit the FAU community by providing students with guidance for self-assessment, academic decisions, skills development, and ultimately law school applications.
|Science, Technology, Math
|Students in the Science, Technology, and Math Affinity Group will be part of a vibrant community with strong academic support and a multitude of opportunities for social interactions. Residents of this community receive intentional academic support through advising, tutoring, and study groups while living in close proximity to their classrooms and laboratories. Students' future success is also enhanced through the development of relationships with faculty members around research opportunities and career exploration. This affinity group assists students in navigating challenging first-year courses in science, technology, and math disciplines while making lifelong friendships.
|Social/Behavioral – Psychology/Neuroscience
|The Social/Behavior Affinity Group is geared toward psychology and neuroscience students who are interested in the behavior of humans and nonhuman animals. In the Social/Behavioral affinity group, we will explore career options for students who are considering majoring in psychology and neuroscience with the goal of providing an environment where students can connect with each other and with faculty, learn strategies that foster personal development, and develop critical thinking skills as they explore an important social issue through the eyes of multiple disciplines and service learning experiences.
|Tomorrows Teachers
|The Tomorrows Teachers Affinity Group will allow the students to gain a hands-on practical experience that will hopefully confirm their choice of teaching as an occupation and help to clarify which level of teaching will be a better fit for them. The students will gain an understanding of how schools work within a community, an appreciation of how schools and universities cooperate to prepare teachers, and what it means to be a teacher. With the leadership of peer-mentors, students are introduced to useful resources, receive academic support through study groups, and participate in special learning and group activities. Students will come to know more about themselves, their learning styles and their vocational fit.
|Under the Microscope
|Aspire to work with animals? Dream of solving the great challenges in human health and disease? Marvel at the building blocks of life and how research moves the world? Students who join the Under the Microscope Affinity Group will broaden their knowledge and awareness of emerging problems and innovative solutions in the life sciences, a first step in developing a career path. This affinity group is geared towards biology, chemistry, biotechnology, and geology majors, to name a few, who are interested in research "under the microscope" and beyond!
|Women in Engineering
|According to the American Society for Engineering Education, in 2014, only 19.9% of the Bachelor's Degrees awarded in engineering were granted to female students. Clearly, intentional efforts need to be employed to increase the recruitment, retention and graduation of women in this degree. This Affinity Group will not only help women transition to the College of Engineering and Florida Atlantic University, but also support their unique needs as women in the Engineering field. Students will be connected to programs, services, and resources as well as women in the Engineering and Computer Science fields.
