This is a story of 19-year-old Kofi who has revealed how deciding to become gay ended him with the deadly HIV infection.
Speaking under terms of anonymity, Kofi (as he prefers to be called) was lured to the act of sleeping with men by the internet after realizing that Ghana's gay community "have a special place on Facebook where they meet and discuss their personal lives".
Having so many gay friends through the internet, he now became active sexually as most of them visited him secretly to have sexual engagement in his room for three years.
" As soon as I entered into this practice, I was never satisfied. I always wanted more with the guys so I kept dating more of them," he revealed.
But few months down the line, Kofi started getting ill and thus decided to get himself checked at the hospital only to find out that he had contracted HIV.
Being scared of his diagnosis, he secretly signed on to the medication which he confesses " always makes me weak and tired".
"These drugs I take are very strong and I can't stand them. I was told by the doctor to always supplement it with food and multivitamins but I don't have the money to do that," he recounted.
When asked if he told his parents about his condition, Kofi revealed that he decided to keep it a secret since his "religious family" will sound suspicious when they get to know he has HIV.
" My father will ask me how I got it. They will suspect something so I can't tell them. I keep the drugs at my boyfriend's place," he confessed.
Homosexuality in Ghana is currently frowned upon with government considering ways of criminalizing the act. But with the story of Kofi, it is clear that most of Ghana's gays and lesbians may be living in the dark with deadly diseases like HIV due to the risky nature of their sexual orientation to the virus.

Very good, fresh-tasting take on minestrone. I used white kidney beans and vegetable bullion in water since that's what I had on hand. The fresh herbs brought a lot of flavor to the simple broth...

Subscribe To Terminator 2 Almost Had A Different John Connor Updates
With nostalgia proving to be one of the most profitable trends in hollywood, plenty of classic properties are being revived for new sequels or reboots. This includes the Terminator franchise, which will reunite Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, and James Cameron for its upcoming sixth sequel; the trio last worked together on Terminator 2: Judgement Day. T2 is largely considered the strongest entry in the entire franchise, which is likely why 2019's installment will be a direct sequel to that classic. Since it was announced, fans have been wondering if former child actor Edward Furlong could return as John Connor. And while we don't know how John's characterization will be handled, we recently learned that Furlong almost didn't get the part back in the day.
Edward Furlong recently addressed his audition process in a new documentary T2: Reprogramming the Terminator (via EW). The film describes how the inexperienced Furlong managed to nab the role of John, with him saying:
It looks like we almost could have had a very different John Conner in Terminator 2, after Edward Furlong screwed the pooch in his second audition. Luckily he managed to pull it together, and ended up giving a stirring performance as the kid who was destined to lead the future rebellion against Skynet.
Edward Furlong nearly losing the part should come to no great surprise, as he didn't have any exprience before landing Terminator 2. Luckily he ended up getting the role, which made room for him to book a few more high profile jobs in the years following. Aside from T2 he starred in films like Pet Sematary Two and American History X. As an adult his work slowed down, as he struggled with substance abuse and legal problems.
It should be interesting to see how John Conners is handled in the untitled sixth Terminator movie. Will they kill him off, recast, or bring back original cast member Edward Furlong? We'll just have to wait and see.
The new Terminator movie will arrive sometime in 2019. In the meantime, check out our 2018 release list to plan your trips to the movies in the New Year.

NC State
NC State basketball's newly signed freshman made a mistake — he went to class
N.C. State's basketball program signed guard Braxton Beverly last week to add a 3-point threat and depth at point guard for the upcoming season. There's a chance the Wolfpack will have to wait longer than originally anticipated for Beverly's services.
The 5-11, 170-pound freshman from Hargrave Military Academy had already started classes at Ohio State before he decided to leave the Big Ten program last month. Under NCAA rules, that means Beverly's exit from Ohio State would qualify as a transfer. As an undergraduate transfer, Beverly would have to sit out the 2017-18 season before he would be eligible to play for N.C. State.
Wolfpack coach Kevin Keatts is hopeful there's a chance, under NCAA rules, Beverly could still play for the Wolfpack this season.
"Our compliance office is working through Braxton's eligibility status," Keatts wrote in a text message to the News & Observer on Monday.
The plan is for Beverly to make the trip to Italy this week with the N.C. State team. Even as a transfer, he would be eligible to play during the 10-day trip. It will likely take another month or two for Beverly's eligibility status to be sorted.
N.C. State has had mixed results recently with the NCAA. Guard Terry Henderson lost an appeal for a sixth-year waiver in May. Before the 2016-17 season, forward Omer Yurtseven was suspended the first nine games and had to make a $1,000 donation to charity to restore his amateur status, but forward Ted Kapita was cleared by the NCAA without any issues.
Beverly's case is not related to injury or amateur status and is different from the moves made earlier this offseason by Lavar Batts and Thomas Allen. Batts signed a National Letter of Intent with VCU but was released from his commitment after a coaching change at VCU. Allen signed a LOI with N.C. State but was released from his commitment after a coaching change at N.C. State. Neither Batts, who is now at N.C. State, nor Allen, who is now at Nebraska, had started class at the school with which they had originally signed.
Beverly, rated a three-star prospect by 247 Sports, joined Ohio State after a standout, two-year career at Hargrave for coach A.W. Hamilton. Beverly averaged 20.3 points and 7.1 assists in leading Hargrave to a 90-3 record in two seasons.
After Ohio State coach Thad Matta resigned in early June, Beverly decided to leave the program. Hamilton officially joined Keatts' staff as an assistant coach on June 9 and Beverly decided to follow his prep coach to college.
Beverly would give the Wolfpack an added shooting and scoring threat this season while transfer guards C.J. Bryce and Devon Daniels have to sit out. Beverly also could serve as another ballhandler with sophomore Markell Johnson and Batts.
If Beverly has to sit out the season, he would still have four years of eligibility. Given Keatts added a pair of graduate transfer guards (Allerik Freeman and Sam Hunt) to this season's roster, it would be a plus to have another player in place for the 2018-19 season, but the preferred scenario is for Beverly to be able to play right away.

The house is looking great from a distance! You could almost believe that it is finished!!
As we get a little closer, you notice the trappings of construction and realize there is still more to be done!
The counters in the guest bathroom are looking good and waiting for the polisher to have that finishing touch. Don is looking forward to pitching in on that part of the project as it is a learning experience for the workers.
In the 1/2 Bathroom the counters are at the same level of completion.This picture looks funny, because the boards you see are not the finished work, they are sporting the curing concrete above.
The toilet in the 1/2 bath, which was sitting so close to the wall that we hit our elbows, has been moved over. There actually now sits a "comfy toilet."
Our bathroom is also at a similar stage but sanding to round the edges still continues.
The windows and doors are at a bit of a stand still and, although we have heard from the window makers, we do not know when they plan to return and finish the job. Our requests were many and complicated and they've had to put off some of their regular clients.
The French Doors in the Studio from the outside and the inside. The space above
Our Bedroom Closet is where the Window Guys lived when working on the installing of our windows. As the house progresses, they need to get back here to finish the job or we will be moved in and they will have NO place to stay while working!
As you can see, they came well prepared with cooking equipment, refrigerator, t.v and a dish for reception.
The Kitchen counters are coming along and, with the help of our friend Yoselin, Don and Max can even communicate about what is needed and wanted.
Just behind Don is were the oven and microwave will be located. Max is working on the water line to the dishwasher and to the left of Yoselin will be the sink.
Thanks Yoselin!
Here there is more progress! The counter at the left of the photo will be my "Office", next to the refrigerator!
At one end of the island will be the Cook Top, shown here. The other end will have a bench and table with 3 chairs. Coffee anyone?
The Bench will be made from wood--another project for Don. He is going to be very busy once we get to move in making benches, shelving, inside doors, dish rack, bathroom cabinets and wall, etc. and that doesn't even touch on all the things that need doing outside!
Jorge is busy working on the railing that goes up the left side of the stairs.
Smile, Jorge!
The stairs started out looking like this, only concrete!
Now the tops are covered with wood and the fronts with tile. We like the look much better and hope wood will be a softer landing for anyone slipping on the stairs!
Jorge has also been busy in the Laundry room making a stand for the wash sink that will go in next to the washer and dryer. When it was time to install the sink it was discovered that it was too big to fit where the plumbing and wiring was set for the washer and dryer. With a little chipping and adjusting all is well.
Outside work is being done on pipes for sewer and plumbing and electric lines. If you will notice the wooden structure behind Marvin, that is what is currently being used to hold the electrical wiring for construction! Remember we had to lift it when the large box trucks were backing up to the house to unload all our stuff?
In the foreground, the concrete boxes in the ground are for the propane tank, electric and rainwater clean out!

The market turmoil that has plagued the beginning of 2016 is wreaking havoc on the stock prices of public companies -- and if they can't get their balance sheets in check, troubled companies could be headed for a gloomy year.
These companies may initially look like bargains as they trade in the single digits. But investors who focus solely on low stock prices, without taking debt into account, do so at their own peril.
To help investors sort out which companies could be in real trouble, Real Money, TheStreet's sister site, has unveiled its "Stressed Out" index of 20 troubled stocks that you should be watching in 2016.
"Many of the smaller dollar amount stocks didn't get there because management wanted you to start buying them by the boatload," said TheStreet's Jim Cramer. "No CEO wants their stock to trade in the single digits. They trade there because the equity is compromised by the debt side of the equation."
The companies listed in the index carry unsustainable debt loads and have a history of burning cash and resources in the absence of steady cash flow. They range across sectors, including retail, oil and gas, basic materials and telecoms. The Real Money team will be providing deep-dive analysis of the debt and equity problems sending shares to record low levels and will continue to monitor the companies. Real Money will also add newcomers to the index as needed and remove existing targets as management prove successful in executing turnarounds.
Here are 20 distressed companies that investors should watch.
Office Depot (ODP - Get Report) is one of the few consumer-facing companies that made Real Money's Stressed Out Index. The Boca Raton, Fla.-based office supplies chain has been in the headlines for much of the past year over its impending merger with its competitor Staples (SPLS) -- a merger that Federal Trade Commission officials are none too pleased with.
To put it mildly, Office Depot really needs this merger to go through. Its stock, now hovering in the $5 range, has seemed to give up gains following the announcement of the merger.
Office Depot is expediting its plans to close 400 stores by the end of 2016 and up to 1,000 stores if the deal is approved.
As well, Office Depot's debt load has swelled, doubling from $659 million in 2012 to $1.58 billion as of 2013, wrote TheStreet's Tony Owusu. The good news is that Office Depot has sufficient liquidity, between its $1.2 billion credit revolver and the $958 million in its cash reserves, Owusu wrote.
In late January, the two companies pushed back the merger's closing (originally targeted for Feb. 4, 2016), but they are still committed to getting a deal done.
"This merger creates an unparalleled opportunity to better serve our customers and to deliver shareholder value," Staples CEO Ron Sargent said in a statement. "We are committed to completing this transaction and look forward to a full and impartial judicial review."
The lending business is by its nature a risky one, and student loans are getting a particularly bad wrap, with nervous observers predicting student loans to be the next bubble to burst.
Navient (NAVI - Get Report) made the Stressed Out Index due to its "looming unsecured debt maturities coupled with the perceived and real risks of the student loan market [that] could spell trouble" for the student loan manager, according to Real Money's Carleton English.
Despite the relatively bullish outlook on the company by sell-side analysts, Moody's has a Ba3 rating on Navient, placing the company relatively deep into "junk" territory, English wrote. "Among the risks Moody's sees that are unique to Navient: the company has $16 billion in unsecured debt and just over half of it is due to mature over the next four years," she said. "The credit rating agency believes that Navient will have to refinance a portion of that debt."
Moody's also is concerned with Navient's nearly $100 billion in Federal Family Education Loan Program ABS Trusts and has put these securitizations on review for downgrade. (FFELP was a government-sponsored student loan program that ended with the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.)
"The repayment rates on the FFELP term ABS trusts are slowing because a growing number of borrowers are opting for income-based repayment plans, and the number of loans in deferment and forbearance remains high," Brian Harris of Moody's said in August.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD - Get Report) has a big problem: The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based semiconductor company has posted losses for the past five quarters, and Wall Street isn't expecting anything different for the first quarter of 2016. With sales dropping by nearly 30% in 2015 and cash running off its books, Advanced Micro Devices is one of two tech companies to make the Stressed Out Index.
Advanced Micro Devices had only $785 million in cash, as reported in December, down 25% on the previous year, wrote Real Money's James Passeri.
Shares are down by roughly 25% since the end of December.
3D Systems (DDD - Get Report) is another struggling tech company that is feeling the brunt of waning global demand for its 3-D printers. The Rock Hill, S.C.-based company has seen its stock plummet over the past year.
3D Systems is also burning through its cash, posting only $157 million in the third quarter of 2015, down 58% year over year.
"We're disappointed with our overall results and the lower revenue from our 3-D printing products and services, which we believe were negatively impacted by continued challenging market conditions that extended customers' capital investment cycles and reduced demand across all geographies," CEO Andrew Johnson said on 3D System's third-quarter earnings call.
Still, the company sees demand in the health care market.
Sprint's (S - Get Report) market cap has been cratering, and the company can thank the high-yield debt that's weighing it down.
The Overland Park, Kan.-based telecom company has taken on a lot of sub-investment-grade debt to finance its operations, but given the market turmoil, the high-yield debt markets are under pressure. Sprint's debt is trading down in secondary markets, meaning that lenders are less confident of repayment.
"Sprint's $1.5 billion unsecured bonds, maturing 2020 with a 7% annual interest rate, were quoted at $0.69 on the dollar today, down from $0.93 on the dollar in November," Real Money's James Passeri wrote last week, citing pricing data compiled by Bloomberg. "The bonds are rated 'Caa1' and 'B+' by Moody's and S&P."
U.S. Steel (X - Get Report) was more than 4 times levered at the end of September. The ratio comes from U.S. Steel's total debt of $3.5 billion as measured against the company's EBITDA of $841.5 million over the past four reported quarters.
As a result of its being so highly levered, both U.S. Steel's bondholders and equity holders are fleeing, Real Money's Passeri wrote.
U.S. Steel's $450 million of unsecured bonds were trading at about 75 cents on the dollar as of Jan. 21, down more than 15% from December, based on pricing data provided by Bloomberg. The Pittsburgh-based company is burning through its cash as a result of interest expenses, and while it is considering its options (including refinancing more secured debt), a spokesman said in November that it was "premature" to make those decisions, Passeri wrote.
Still, if the bonds continue to trade any lower, it won't be long before the company could be in real trouble.
AK Steel (AKS - Get Report) is another steelmaker to watch, considering it has the second-worst leverage of the steel watch list group. AK Steel is levered more than 5 times when considering its total debt of $2.4 billion and EBITDA of $452 million over the past four reported quarters.
The West Chester, Ohio-based company's share price has plummeted nearly 70% since its 52-week high on May 14, 2015, of $5.93, and its market cap has also been slashed as "shareholders flee minuscule profits due to AKS's onerous cost burden," Passeri wrote.
AK Steel's $380 million of unsecured bonds were quoted at 83 cents on the dollar, down 23% over the past year, Passeri wrote on Friday, citing Bloomberg data.
This slide was updated on Feb. 11 to reflect figures from TimkenSteel's January earnings call and comments by CEO Tim Timken.
TimkenSteel (TMST - Get Report) has the poorest leverage condition of the steel watch list group, as it is theoretically undefined given EBITDA of -$31 million over the past year, and roughly $200 million in total debt.
Shares have tumbled 76% over the past 12 months, but the Canton, Ohio-based company maintains that through debt pay-downs and an amended credit facility, it is in healthier shape for the year ahead.
"We amended our $300 million credit agreement in December and ended the year with available liquidity of $84 million," CEO Tim Timken said on the earnings call in late January. "We paid consecutive quarterly dividends of $0.14 per share through the third quarter. We reduced capital spending by 40% in 2015, and we will take down another 40% this year."
Avon (AVP - Get Report) is burning through cash, and if it doesn't stop soon, the beauty products and fragrance maker will be in real trouble -- particularly since it carries more than $2.3 billion in debt.
Avon shareholders have gotten spooked, exiting the stock. Its market cap is down by nearly three quarters over the past year, and bondholders are also turning in Avon notes at a rapid pace. "The tranche of Avon's senior unsecured notes that pay a hefty 6.5% annual interest rate have lost 22% of their value in secondary markets over the past 12 months," Passeri wrote on Jan. 26, citing Bloomberg pricing data.
Even the suspension of its dividend and a $435 million cash injection by Cerberus Capital Management may not be enough to help the company. Passeri noted that while the Cerberus' December investment (in the form of acquiring the company's North American business) will allow Avon to dodge its looming debt maturities, it will still have to deal with the remainder of its debt maturing in 2018 and 2019.
"The bottom line is that slashing Avon's dividend and inventories and paying down debt may be a start, but the company cannot just put cover-up on this kind of sustained cash burn. Its future will hinge on whether it can start turning a profit in 2016, and investors will get an early peek at its chances in its early February earnings report," Passeri wrote.
Chesapeake Energy (CHK - Get Report) is one of several energy companies hit hard by the falling price of oil. As a result of its burgeoning debt load, it has been added to the Stressed Out index.
Chesapeake's debt load stands at nearly $11 billion, which the company has had trouble getting under control. The price of its bonds plunged in the fourth quarter, with many trading for less than 40 cents on the dollar, wrote Real Money's Carleton English on Jan. 26.
Chesapeake announced on Jan. 22 that it was suspending its preferred dividend, six months after it cut off its dividend on common shares, to help repay debt.
In December, Chesapeake issued an exchange offering with preference given to its notes coming due in 2017 and 2018 and the new notes maturing in 2022. It also has a $4 billion credit facility to draw from, but "taking on debt to cover debt is not a strategy that gives investors' confidence," especially as the company continues to post losses, English wrote.
Southwestern Energy (SWN - Get Report) is having a rough 2016. In just the first few weeks of the year, the oil and gas company announced a new CEO and that it was laying off roughly half of its workforce in the first quarter in order to shore up cash.
The workforce reduction will save the company roughly $150 million to $175 million per year. Southwestern Energy already implemented layoffs in 2015.
While the company doesn't have any debt maturities coming until 2018, it is significantly levered at 6.3 times as measured by net debt to EBITDA (based on 2016 projections), English wrote, citing Morgan Stanley.
And as of press time, Southwestern Energy had "not yet finalized its capital budget for 2016 and its oil rigs are sitting idle," English wrote.
Ultra Petroleum (UPL - Get Report) doesn't beat around the bush. The Texas-based company warned investors flat out in its third-quarter filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that if crude oil and natural gas prices remain low (or fall even further), "the Company is likely to generate lower operating cash flows, which would make it more difficult for the Company to remain in compliance with all of its debt covenants."
Ultra Petroleum has $2.76 billion in debt, with $62 million due in March 2016 and only $25 million of cash on hand, as of the third quarter. "Its ability to cover this issue with cash from operations is questionable as the company already accessed its credit facility to finance capital operations," English wrote.
Shares of Encana (ECA - Get Report) , the Canadian energy company, have sunk more than 70% over the past year due to falling oil prices. Meanwhile the company's leverage is at 5.1 times, compared with 3.8 times for its peers, English wrote, citing Morgan Stanley.
Even if Encana does shed assets, its position is unlikely to improve until energy prices rally for a sustained amount of time.
Dropping commodity prices as well as weaker global demand is wreaking havoc on Freeport-McMoRan (FCX - Get Report) , the Phoenix-based mining company that also has oil and gas businesses, which has $20.4 billion in debt. Last year, Freeport-McMoRan announced a slew of cost-cutting measures to shore up its balance sheet, including suspending its dividend.
Freeport-McMoRan, which reported earnings on Jan. 26, did beat analyst expectations but still reported a fourth-quarter loss of $3.47 a share (it posted a loss of $11.31 a share for all of 2015). The company said that it is targeting to reduce its debt by $5 billion to $10 billion but that it would take time and multiple transactions, including the shaving of assets, English wrote. It also slashed its capex spending for 2016 to $3.4 billion from $6.35 billion in 2015.
"We are where we are. We can't wish the market away. We can't wish this debt away we've got to deal with it and that's the hard decisions we're making," CEO Richard Adkerson said on Tuesday's conference call.
Ain't that the truth.
And then there are the companies that are indirectly related by the price of oil, such as McDermott International (MDR - Get Report) , a Texas-based company that designs and installs structures for offshore and deepwater oil and gas companies. The company is considered junk -- at least in regards to its corporate rating. Moody's downgraded the company to B1 from Ba3 on Jan. 21, citing the "risk of project cancellations due to the plunge in oil prices," English wrote.
"The nature of McDermott's business, which includes sizeable fixed priced offshore and subsea oil & gas projects, lends itself to volatility in orders, project timing, revenues and profitability and encompasses high execution risk," Moody's said.
Moody's isn't alone in its concern about McDermott. Earlier this month Morgan Stanley reiterated its underweight rating on the stock and said there is "higher company specific risk around winning new work and executing at profitable margins."
McDermott has a $500 million note coming due in 2021. It's priced at $65.50 as of Jan. 27, down sharply from the start of 2016, according to data provided by Thomson Reuters.
Tidewater (TDW - Get Report) is another struggling oil-and-gas service provider. The New Orleans-based company provides offshore vessels to the energy industry. Its customers are directly influenced by the price of oil. And for the final nail in the coffin, Tidewater also does a lot of business in Brazil and Venezuela, two Latin American countries notoriously associated with corruption.
Tidewater reported $1.5 billion in debt as of December. Though the bulk of the notes aren't due until 2020, prolonged low oil prices could hamper its ability to repay.
And then there is Transocean (RIG - Get Report) . The Switzerland-based company has seen shares collapse since its 52-week-high on May 14, 2015. It also confirmed plans to delist from the Swiss Exchange.
Moody's downgraded Transocean in October to Ba2 from Ba1 due to market conditions and is reviewing the stock for another potential downgrade, English wrote.
"Although the company has taken proactive measures to cut costs, defer large capital commitments and maintain strong liquidity, Transocean is entering a potentially prolonged period of declining cash flow generation and significant debt maturities," Peter Speer of Moody's wrote in October.
A Goldman Sachs analyst is also worried about Transocean's $1.6 billion in debt coming due in 2017 and reiterated his sell rating on the company.
Finally there is Texas-based Weatherford International (WFT) . Like Transocean, the company's corporate rating is under review by Moody's (which currently rates it at Ba1).
"While we believe that Weatherford will generate free cash flow and will focus on debt reduction through 2016, it will continue to be modest and not sufficient to offset overall moderate cash flow generation stemming from a prolonged oilfield service cyclical downturn," Gretchen French of Moody's wrote when issuing the October rating.
Not everyone is so down on Weatherford. RBC Capital Markets (a unit of Royal Bank of Canada) has an outperform rating on the stock, even if it did recently trim its price target by $2 to $9. Weatherford's $950 million in debt coming due in 2017 is "manageable," RBC Capital Markets says, but sustained low oil prices will test the firm's thesis.

Imagine for a brief moment that your child was threatened or mistreated at school. As they recount the day's events to you, you can see and hear that they are hurt, scared and emotional. Your blood starts to boil as you silently judge the actions of the other kid, and maybe even their parents. Wanting to keep your child safe, you tell them not to play with this other kid anymore. Avoid them. Don't engage with them. Find other friends to play with. As your child walks away, it feels like all is well in the world again.
As parents, we want nothing more than to keep our kids safe. When things become hard, challenging or emotional it is not uncommon for parents to tell their kids to just cut that part out. Something that we regularly do as adults, too.
The problem is avoiding emotions or conflict resolution doesn't solve the problem
It only makes it worse. Life is full of challenges, emotions and differences of opinion. As parents, it is our job to teach our kids the skills needed to navigate these moments. Not avoid them.
With social media being such a huge part of our lives, experts have declared that we are currently living in isolated bubbles. We surround ourselves with people who think like us and want the same things we do. We crave 'likes'. It makes us feel safe. Confident. It validates our choices. And, if someone comments or posts something we don't like or makes us feel uncomfortable, we unfollow.
Teaching our kids to cut out, rather than work through, is a slippery slope. Communication and conflict resolution skills are skills that are essential to our success. They are also skills that are taught and require practice. Learning to cut out experiences or exchanges that are challenging, uncomfortable and/or emotional negates any opportunity to learn and practice how to navigate such situations. By avoiding these situations, we never develop the skills needed, making it easier to continue to cut out and not work through.
Not all conflict is bad
The key is how we manage it and teach our kids to do the same. The more opportunities our kids have to practice and learn, the more successful they will be.
The next time you find yourself, or your child, in an emotional, challenging or uncomfortable situation – rather than cut out, work through. Encourage your child to talk to the other person, face-to-face, in real time. This engages accountability. Listening to other people's experiences and perspectives allow you, or your child, to gain an understanding of self and others. We each have differing perspectives in all situations. This doesn't mean one is right and one is wrong. Rather, each perspective is unique and needs to be understood.
Seeking to understand others allows us to learn and reflect how we contributed to the situation and what we could do differently the next time. Engaging in real life, real-time conversations – no matter how emotional or difficult – allows us to build our soft skills like empathy, compassion, critical thinking. Skills that we rob ourselves, and our children, or when we don't engage to work through any situation.
As humans, regardless of age, we all crave connection. We can't connect or understand others when we cut out. Curious conversations allow you to stay connected as you work through, seeking to understand the unique perspectives of others. That's ultimately what we all want – to be seen, heard and understood.

More Than a Farm: Pennings Farm and Cidery an Upstate NY Destination Experience
By Sabrina Sucato
Pennings Farm Market may have started as a farm when Jack Pennings bought 100 acres of farmland in Warwick, NY in 1980. But over the almost 40 years since its creation, Pennings has steadily evolved to become a destination experience: farm, cidery, market, pub, grill, beer garden, hop yard, ice cream stand, garden center, and more.
The Pennings Farm Cidery is what initially caught my eye. Brother and sister Tori and Stephen Pennings opened the Cidery in December 2014 to complement the operations already underway at the farm. As the newest generation to take a stab at the farm business, Tori and Stephen elevate time-honored traditions to a new level. Their cider is made from Pennings Farm apples, and they serve only New York State food and drink at the events they host to draw in a younger food-loving crowd.
Tori and Stephen are dedicated to keeping Cidery operations as Pennings-centric as possible. "Our pumpkin cider uses our own Pennings Farm pumpkin puree," revealed Tori. "My favorite ingredient is the honey in our Honey Hopped and Honey Razz ciders, which comes straight from the bees that pollinate our apple trees in the spring." In addition to Pennings' own honey resources, Honey Hopped is made with six varieties of Pennings Farm apples and three types of Pennings-grown hops.
Beyond the Cidery, Pennings offers some of the more expected farm activities as well. The Pennings orchard, which grows 26 varieties of apples and is open for pick-your-own every fall, is still run by Jack Pennings, the farm's founder. Jack's brother, Steve, and Steve's wife, Jill, run the bulk of the farm's attractions, like the pub and grill serving local farm-to-table everything, the beer garden with live music and lawn games, and the garden center that stocks everything from potted plants to outdoor furniture.
Craft brews? Check. Locally sourced ingredients? Check. Droolworthy flavor combinations? Check. On top of that, the dynamic duo behind the Cidery have the entertainment factor covered as well. Sunset Yoga on the Farm sounds far classier than the standard hayrides and corn mazes, which is precisely the point. A spot of exercise and meditation followed by a cool brew with friends is the new version of evening entertainment and drinks. It makes the farm feel sexy again.
The key to Pennings' success is that it doesn't rely upon just one draw. Some people may come to pick apples but will end up staying for live music in the beer garden. Others may visit the Cidery for tastings only to make their way over to the Grill for dinner. As society focuses more and more on the experiential over the material, Pennings seems to be on the right track. A trip to the farm is not a one-and-done kind of experience. Pennings hooks you with one thing and keeps you there with a dozen more. Welcome to the new farm model.

Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas is fielding plenty of questions about offer sheets and contract extensions of late, so naturally, trades are the next topic of discussion.
With Auston Matthews' and Mitch Marner's contract negotiations looming, the future deals for the young stars apparently tie into the Leafs' trade deadline plans, as Dubas said he'd like some term security attached to anyone he might add.
"... If we have some certainty or some relative certainty about where the contracts for Auston and Mitch are going to come in, and we have more certainty at that time for where the salary cap will be for next season, we may be able to add players that are more than just rentals, that do have some term, whether it's one, two, or however many years left on their contracts," Dubas told Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic on Monday.
"I think all those pieces kind of have to fit together. I don't really look and see many pure rentals that really change the dynamic of our group. So anything that we'd be looking at would be players that probably have some term."
The Maple Leafs have $5.8 million in available cap space for the remainder of the current season, per Cap Friendly. With next year's limit set to increase to roughly $83 million, Toronto is projected to have just over $23 million at its disposal heading into 2019-20.

Sound Horsekeeping Update - May 2, 2018/
- Program Updates for 2018
- Soil Tests for Pasture Management
- Manure Haul Off Options
- Colic and Spring Pastures
- Site Visits
- Manure Spreader Update
A lot of progress was made in 2017 in advancing Sound Horsekeeping practices in Snohomish County, and 2018 will be even better!
Earlier this new year I reached out to other counties around the Puget Sound and found that there is a lot of interest being generated in other Conservation Districts implementing their own Sound Horsekeeping program. I received emails from Whatcom, Whidbey Island, Skagit, and Thurston Counties. Just yesterday I received a note from Whatcom inviting me up for a day of presentations and site visits to train their Farm Planners on how to best serve the equine community there. In March we had a great workshop on Camano Island with a farrier and a veterinarian to give their perspectives on Sound Horsekeeping, and it was so successful that we are looking to do two more - one in north county and one in south county. We are also being recognized by the State and beginning to receive more cost-share funding for equine properties to help implement the BMPs I recommend during a site visit. And the momentum continues to build!
You may see me around the county volunteering with the 4H Horse Program or the FFA, and if you do please stop and say hello! And if you have a horse-focused group you would like me to speak to please let me know. I love sharing my experiences and solutions for the challenges of being a horse owner and rider in western Washington.
Now is the time to get your soil tested to manage your pasture for the grazing season! Just call the office to schedule a soil sampling and we will get you the results within 1 - 2 weeks so you can help your soil be as healthy as possible for your equine friends to munch on.
Is your manure piling up and spreading it is not an option due to high nutrients in your soil? Good news! A lot of the composting facilities that quit taking horse manure last fall are now taking manure again. And for our southeast county folks some really good news - Pine Creek Nursery is taking horse manure for free right now! They are located at:
If you come across any other good options or hear of a composter in the area that is taking manure again, please let me know and I will get it out to our community.
It's that time of year - colic season. Lots of horses getting turned out on our lush spring pastures are coming down with colic in all its forms. So be careful when you turn your horses out! For some good tips on how to face this challenge please take a look at my article on spring pastures: http://snohomishcd.org/shk-resources/2018/2/7/spring-pastures-what-to-consider-before-first-turnout
My schedule is filling up fast with site visit requests so if you would like me to come out and discuss some solutions to your challenges, or maybe you have a neighbor or a friend who could use some help, please call my office and let's set something up! While I always enjoy seeing new horse owners, I also like to see the progress the folks I have visited already are making so I can encourage others with their stories.
It's manure spreading season again!
This year there have been some changes to the program to make sure it is a viable program into the future. A few of the major things are:
- $70 a week rental fee, to cover the replacement cost of the spreaders as well as repairs and maintenance.
- Deliveries and pick-ups on Wednesdays.
- Right now the large manure spreader is booked through June, but the small one has some openings this month. Call to make your reservation as soon as possible!
- Looking for a delivery driver part-time, one day a week (Wednesdays). For full job announcement: http://snohomishcd.org/employment/
Please call me at the office or email me if you have any questions.
Keep an eye on our website for upcoming events and workshops, and I look forward to seeing ya'll sometime in 2018!
Now...go ride that pony!
