Author has written 4 stories for Twilight.
Hello! My complete PenName is Medea Ariadne Artemis DeMarchi, but since it's long I just took out Artemis. My former PenName is Artemis S. Cullen- I wanted to change it so I did. :)
I'm a fan of Rick Riordan's books, most notably The Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series and The Hero's of Olympus Series as well. And it's simply because I've been reading his books since I was child and I never felt the need to stop.
I blame my deep interested in Greek, Roman, and Egyptian Mythology for reading a ton of Non-Fiction books, and watching many shows on the History, Science & Discovery Channel. xD
I (being a person with a wide range of interests') am also interested in art, so I have my own profile on DeviantArt.
So far I've only uploaded a few Photographs, Poems and Drawings. I'll try to upload some more things soon.
I also enjoy writing my own stories, and am currently writing a few books of my own, but I'm not sure if I'll try to get them published. (I might try in a few years.) There not that good though, so as a backup plan, I have an account on Fictionpress.com;
So far its very empty (with only one short story)... I'll try to upload a few of my stories some other time. I have to edit them first because their really bad... and boring. xD
My Avatar is a painting called The Oracle which was made by blackeri. The following link leads to the original drawing; http:///art/The-Oracle-50266146. That painting is one of my personal favorites ever! It's really amazing! ... Once you get a full view of it. :D

Try not to cry.
Month One
I am only eight inches long
but I have all my organs.
I love the sound of your voice.
Everytime I hear it
I wave my arms and legs.
The sound of your heartbeat
is my favorite lullaby.
Month Two
today I learned how to suck my thumb.
If you could see me
You could definetly tell that I am a baby.
I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though.
It's so warm and nice in here.
Month Three
You know what Mommy?
I'm a boy!!
I hope that makes you happy.
I always want you to be happy.
I don't like it when you cry.
You sound so sad.
It makes me sad too
and I cry with you even though
you cant hear me.
Month Four
My hair is starting to grow.
It is very short and fine
but I will have a lot of it.
I spend a lot of my time exercising.
I can curl my head and curl my fingers and toes
and stretch my arms and legs
I am becoming quite good at it too.
Month Five
You went to the doctor today.
Mommy, he lied to you.
He said that I'm not a baby.
I am a baby Mommy, your baby.
I think and feel.
Mommy, whats ambortion?
Month Six
I can hear that doctor again.
I dont like him.
He seems cold and heartless.
Something is intruding my home.
The doctor called it a needle.
Mommy, what is it? It burns!
Please make him stop!
I cant get away from it!
Mommy! HELP ME!
Month Seven
I am OK.
I am in Jesus' arms.
He is holding me.
He told me about ambortion.
Mommy, why didnt you want me?
Every ambortion is just...
One more heart that was stopped
Two more eyes that will never see
Two more hands that will never touch
Two more legs that will never run
One more mouth that will never speak.
Ambortion is wrong. People are here on earth for a reason, and some crazy mothers don't want their babies.

The rain still clung to me as I sat down in the passenger seat of my dad's car. I dropped my dance bag in front of my feet, relieved I didn't have to run with the thing anymore. Sweat and rain dripped onto my face as I prepared myself for another ride home with my father.
"Hey, sweetie." He said not taking his eyes from the dark road ahead.
"How was dance?"
"It was fine."
"How was school?"
"It was good." I have had this conversation with him millions of times in the same exact place, on the same exact route. He would change the gears of his stick shift, accelerating to faster speeds talking about things while I stayed silent and watched the world pass by through the window.
"I think I'm getting better with the guitar," He said glancing over at me, "I can actually play the beginning of a song."
I continued to stare out the window, watching the front tire glide through puddles, creating a wave as if it were a boat cutting through troughs on a stormy sea. "Cool." His fingers tapped an irregular rhythm on the steering wheel.
"How about college? Have you started looking?" My head snapped from the window to look at him. This wasn't part of our usual narrative, and I wasn't sure how to respond. So I went to my default answer whenever an adult asked me about my future.
"Um kinda, but I don't know what major I want to go into or what type of job I want."
He gave me a sideways look,"Can't you decide on a school without knowing that?"
"Yea, but I really want to know before I get there. I want to have it all figured out, so I don't have to worry about it, you know?" I took a deep breath. I was going to start explaining to him how every other seventeen-year-old had their whole lives figured out but me when the smell of rotten cabbage assaulted my nose. My face automatically scrunched up, pushing my nose into my eyes as I looked over at Dad. He had the exact same look on his face.
"Skunk." We said in unison. He cracked a smile and I let out a laugh.
"Do you remember those stories I used to tell you and your brother?" He asked still smiling.
"What stories?"
"You know, the ones about the enchanted forest that I would make up?"
I snorted, "You mean the ones about the skunks?"
He started to laugh at that, "Yea, the skunk ones! What did I call them?"
I thought about it for a minute before it came to me, "Daisy and Dandelion, that's what you called them." We looked at each other for a second before we burst into laughter.
"Two skunks named Daisy and Dandelion. Oh boy. Too funny."
I had completely forgotten that my dad used to tell us these stories. My brother and I would lie in our beds and plead with him tell us one more about the amazing skunk brother and sister duo. He would come up with these crazy adventures and even crazier characters. My eyes would become heavy, and no matter how hard I tried to stay awake I would always fall asleep to the sound of my father's voice.
"And their neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver."
"Oh, the beavers!" He threw his hand in the air, "They always had trouble with their dam!"
"You named the skunks Daisy and Dandelion, but you couldn't come up with names for the beavers?"
"Eh, you win some you lose some. My imagination only went so far on the fly," He scratched at his beard, "And what about the wise rabbit? What was his name?"
"There was a rabbit, but it wasn't wise." His brow furrowed at this.
"I was sure there was a wise rabbit! I mean I made it up, I should know."
"No Dad! You're thinking of the wise owl. Get it? Owls are wise?"
"Right, right. You're right. But owls and rabbits are pretty easy to mix up, you've got to admit."
"One flies and one hops. Also, owls eat rabbits, Dad."
I shook my head at him still smiling. The smell of the skunk had dissipated, and my clothes and hair had dried off in the warm car. I watched the headlights pierce through the rain, creating reflections that made it seem as if specks of starlight were falling from the sky.
"I should have written down those stories, huh?" He said, "Probably could have made a lot of money off them."
"Yea, maybe."
There was silence again, except for the rain tapping on the roof of the car. I began to look out the window again, thinking that the moment had passed.
"You know you could do that."
"Do what?"
"Write stories."
"I mean you love to read, right? You could become the next J.K Rowling if you really wanted to."
"Ok Dad, sure." He looked over at me as I said this.
"I'm completely serious. It's ok that you don't know what you want to do, no one knows what they want to do when they seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty. There are so many possibilities that you are not going to know where you will end up. There is no way. My advice to you would be to find something that you love and go with that. Don't worry about the money, or what other people think, just go for it. If you do something you love you will never work a day in your life."
I nodded, a bit amazed that this advice was coming from my father. It felt weird hearing it from him. As I had grown out of those stories, my father and I had grown apart and I stopped caring about what he had to say. Hearing him talk like this reminded me of what it was like before when we talked and laughed and had fun. It reminded me that I should probably listen to him more often. He was my dad after all.
Before I knew it, we were in my mom's driveway, and it was time to get out of the car. The rain was still falling heavy on the pavement, and I could hear my dogs barking inside, welcoming me home.
"Hey." He said. I looked over at him and smiled. He pulled me in for a big hug, "I love you kiddo. Have a good night." I held onto him tight and a little longer than I usually did.
"Love you too. See you soon." I grabbed my things and rain out into the rain. When I got to the porch, I looked back and watched him pull out of the driveway. His headlights cut through the downpour and lit up the path ahead of him.
Daisy and Dandelion
The rain still clung to me as I sat down in the passenger seat of my dad's car. I dropped my dance bag in front of my feet, relieved I didn't have to run with the thing anymore. Sweat and rain dripped onto my face as I prepared myself for another ride home with my father.

EWU's wheelchair basketball team take on tournament competition
Last updated 3/14/2019 at 11:32pm
By SHANNEN TALBOT
Staff Reporter
The summer before Liam Doloughan's senior year of high school, he was running along a trail on a cross-country trip. About three miles out, an excruciating pain in his hip stopped him in his tracks. With just three inches of movement in one leg, Doloughan was able to make it back to the team's camp, but what would follow would change the course of his athletic future forever.
Doloughan's hip injury led to a diagnosis of joint malformation that effectively ended his running career. Around the same time, his brother suddenly passed away, and soon Doloug...

The fast, easy way to backup all your Office 365 data
SkyKick Cloud Backup is a market-leading backup solution that helps protect your Office 365 data. Featuring unlimited backup storage, powerful search mechanics and one-click data restore, it's one of the fastest and easiest ways to get your productivity back on track.
If you're using Office 365 for your email, to store files in the cloud via OneDrive for Business, or to communicate and share files with your colleagues via Office 365 Groups and SharePoint, SkyKick will back up everything automatically up to six times per day. So, even if you delete a file by accident, chances are that it will be saved on a previous backup and can be easily recovered.
Office 365 archiving isn't a substitute for backup
Microsoft will only replicate your data in Office 365 for data retention purposes. Many users assume that their data is automatically backed up, as emails are archived. Unfortunately, features such as In-Place Hold and Legal Hold will only capture an email in Exchange Online and protect that data from deletion to meet compliance and legal requirements. Using SkyKick Cloud Backup, however, reduces these risks.
Powerful search indexing means we can find and restore emails in minutes, not hours
All data is backed up with encryption in transit and at rest, remaining safe in UK or EA Azure datacentres.
No data caps, no retention limits, and up to six daily backups.
Individual or bulk data can be recovered to the same location, so you know exactly where to look.
All data is backed up separately to eliminate the risk of cross-file infection
Helps you comply with data protection and litigation policies.
Data recovered in minutes
Restoring individual data from Office 365 can take IT Technicians up to 6 hours, due to a long and complicated export and import process. But with SkyKick, your files can be recovered in minutes with the one-click restore feature. The solution also allows your files to be restored in bulk on OneDrive for Business, plus, all your Office 365 data can be recovered to the exact same location it was saved within.

Desta Gallery Presents: Visual Poetry
1 Oct 2016 – 30 Nov 2016
Event times
October 1st - November 30th
Monday - Saturday 10am - 5pm
Cost of entry
Desta Gallery presents their newest exhibit, Visual Poetry, featuring painter Bryn Craig, Robin Brandes and Leisha Douglas.
Bryn Craig
Oil Paintings
Although his work is representational, Craig is not a photo realist. He says, "I look for the poetry in even the most ordinary subjects, not just the surface appearance. I hope to stimulate that same response in the viewer". His subjects range from the surf crashing wildly on a rocky coastline in northern California to a quiet corner in a city at night, to a rural landscape and even the occasional portrait.
He uses traditional techniques and materials (oil on canvas, watercolor on paper) and is not interested in what he considers unnecessary showmanship.
Craig is a graduate of the Philadelphia Museum College of Art and attended the Art Students League of New York. His influences are many and varied from Fairfield Porter, to John Singer Sargent, but he is most identified with Edward Hopper. Influenced by, but very much true to his own style and outlook.

To be lost in nature is to be found is a visual and verbal contemplation. The book offers the reader to reflect on their relationship with the natural world. Each page is an invitation to deepen awareness and appreciation for nature and our indissoluble relationship to it.
When Robin Brandes and Leisha Douglas met 22 years ago in Bali, Indonesia for a healing arts tour, they discovered they were kindred spirits and would remain close friends thereafter. Despite living on opposite coasts, they continued to share and cultivate their mutual love of art, poetry, meditation and hiking in the woods (not to mention consignment shopping) together.
This book is their inaugural collaboration of their respective creative talents. Robin brings her virtuosity as a graphic designer, painter, book designer and bookbinder while Leisha brings her many years as a published poet and writer to this project. To be lost in nature is to be found invites the reader into a contemplative relationship with our natural world.

You may be hesitant about using probiotics for your toddler. Especially if he's usually healthy, why rock the boat, right? However, your toddler's collection of microorganisms began to develop in the womb. They solidify in infancy and into early childhood. The good bacteria in your toddler's body help it in digesting food and synthesizing vitamins. […]Continue reading
Probiotics are the helpful bacteria that live inside of your body. By fighting against harmful bacteria they are able to create a healthy balance that keeps you feeling your best. These friendly bacteria are best known for their ability to prevent and treat indigestion, constipation and diarrhea. But they aren't a one-trick pony! Beyond just working […]Continue reading
Ready to transform your health? Rather than trying to count the tons of probiotics in your pickle, why not just drink down your daily requirement? It's easier to do than you might think – all you need to do is find a source of probiotics that you love and get in the habit of gulping it […]Continue reading
We are a nation slowly but surely becoming obsessed with prebiotics, but why? Why are they suddenly so important to our health? According to the Journal of Nutrition, a prebiotic is "a selectively fermented ingredient that allows specific changes, both in the composition and/or activity in the gastrointestinal microflora that confers benefits upon host well-being […]Continue reading
While "probiotics" has become a buzzword lately, prebiotics have been quietly doing their job behind the scenes. At this point, most people have heard at least a thing or two about the incredible, edible probiotic. You can hardly get through a TV show without having to listen to a yogurt commercial actress explain their amazing value. […]Continue reading
Think probiotics are just about gut health? Sure, these friendly bacteria are great for your gut, but the benefits of probiotics extend far past your gut. In fact, they benefit your body from head to toe. But first things first. Before we really go in-depth about what probiotics can do for your body, we need […]Continue reading

Assoc Prof Louis Phee
Assoc Prof Louis Phee is a serial inventor. In a career spanning 15 years, he has come up with six inventions, mostly in the field of medical robotics.
His latest – and proudest – invention is a world first: a robotic endoscope with two small arms that can remove tumours in the stomach without leaving scars.
And it slashes surgery time to a fraction of the eight hours originally.
"I wake up for my hobby," says Assoc Prof Phee from the School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering.
"When you have passion for your work, it becomes a very serious pastime and that is what drives you."
Assoc Prof Phee built his first robot – a device that can insert a flexible endoscope through the anus to inspect the large intestine – in 1995 when he was a 24-year-old NTU undergraduate. "Innovation has no age limit," he explains. "Even a six-year-old boy building with his Lego set does it in his own unique way."
Some of Assoc Prof Phee's robots have been commercialised and used in hospitals. He has won honours for his work, among them the Tan Kah Kee Young Inventors' Award in 2001, Singapore National Academy of Science Young Scientist Award in 2006 and Outstanding Young Persons of Singapore (Honoree) Award in 2007.
"Whatever I do, whether it's for research and development or something else, it needs to be tangible. There must be some product at the end that makes a difference to someone. I always hope to see my work bringing benefits to patients," says the elder of two siblings whose parents supported his early interest in creating and fixing things.
"You need to really want to do something to be thinking of it all the time," he says of his passion. "It's a kind of commitment that consumes you and gets your subconscious mind working on it."
So how can we be more inventive? Always look at things differently, be critical and test the limits, he advises. "Innovators always push the boundaries to see how things can be done better."
Asst Prof Arul Chib
This Assistant Professor has a life-changing story to tell. It is a story with the word passion written all over it.
Saddened by the plight of millions of people the world over, 39-year-old Arul Chib dumped his high-paying job at Procter & Gamble for something that is now bringing smiles to the faces of thousands of underprivileged women in the tsunami-ravaged Indonesian province of Aceh Besar.
The cause of the smiles: one of the world's first healthcare mobile phone systems which the don from the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication & Information devloped for midwives.
Each phone comes with an easy-to-use application that can transmit expectant mothers' vital signs to city hospitals, helping doctors anticipate complications in pregnancy.
His efforts helped improve the delivery of rural healthcare services and in 2011 he was recognised with the ProSPER.Net-Scopus Young Scientist Award in the category of information and communication technologies for sustainable development.
"I have a favourite catchphrase: make it personal," he says.
In his younger days, Asst Prof Chib sold products like soap and shampoos at Procter & Gamble, a multinational corporation. He was earning more than twice his current pay but gave it all up for his passion.
He recalls the turning point: he had been selling a new kind of adhesive sanitary pad to villagers when one of the women asked him what panties were.
He soon found himself spending time in underdeveloped regions using information and communication technologies in creative ways to help the poor.
"If you are a young person wondering what to do with your life, let me ask you: should there be this huge divide between the rich and the poor, or a society in which everyone has the same opportunity to reach a basic standard of quality of life?"
"It's very easy to expect the next person to pick up the baton and run with it, join a non-governmental organisation, create innovations for the poor or develop a vaccine to eradicate cancer. If you feel for something, just go ahead and get involved. Once you make it personal, you'll have this connection with the community and you will want to get involved anyway," he says.
Asst Prof Chib believes innovators must get down close to the ground in order to fully appreciate the needs of the community.
It helps that, growing up, his parents instilled in him the value of respect for all others, no matter what their social status. "Fishermen, for instance, deserve my utmost respect. In remote rural areas, they are the ones who keep me alive and fed," he says simply.
"We have a choice what to do with our lives. I could have a multi-million-dollar bank account and leave this world with the money sitting there, or I can leave knowing I have been a positive force. Which option is more satisfying?"
Asst Prof Adams Kong
His reverse-engineering skills combined with a consuming spirit not to let criminals roam the street led Asst Prof Adams Kong to a world-beating discovery.
He is the proud inventor of the world's first body vein identification system.
This leading expert in palm print identification has gone one step further by having a system that identifies criminals by taking photographs of them and reverse-engineering them so the veins, or blood vessels, on the bodies are more visible.
These are then compared to photos of suspects that are also put through the same process. The system was inspired by a case Asst Prof Kong helped crack when he used skin marks to identify a paedophile and put him behind bars in the US.
In 2010, he received a $250,000 proof-of-concept grant from the National Research Foundation for the identification system. Despite his success, the humble don from the School of Computer Engineering insists he is just trying to do his bit for society.
"Many girls suffer as victims of sexual offences while the perpetrators roam free. How would a normal person react? They would want to help," says the 37-year-old, who holds five patents and has two more in the works.
"I care for the young ones among us and I would also like for there to be justice in society. It is a driving force for me," Asst Prof Kong adds.
With fresh media reports about victims of crime being left in the lurch and, in some cases, to die, Asst Prof Kong feels that helping people is slowly becoming less of a social norm.
It's a trend he attributes to rising individualism. "Society tends to overemphasise accomplishment, which draws on the 'I am better than you' mentality instead of 'what can I do for others?'."
"As an educator," says Asst Prof Kong, "do I equip my students with knowledge that will aid their careers in a self-serving way? Or do I equip them with values that help them become good people eager to contribute to society?"
"To shape the world – that's the goal I'm working towards," he adds.
Asst Prof Matthew Chang
Asst Prof Poh Chueh Loo
It is not something a newsmaker is likely to admit in public. "I'm a control freak,'' says Asst Prof Matthew Chang in describing his work with microbes.
"I want to be able to direct the behaviour of microbes and programme them to do the things we want them to do," he says.
Last year, this scientist from the School of Chemical & Biomedical Engineering bioengineered an E coli bacterium to kill a deadly bacterium resistant to most antibiotics.
Thanks to Asst Prof Chang and his colleague, Asst Prof Poh Chueh Loo, the world can now combat the superbug Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which causes infections in the upper respiratory, gastrointestinal and urinary tracts.
Asst Prof Chang's pet peeve turned out to be the inspiration for this innovation. "What frustrates me is that we can't control bacteria. I've always believed that someday I would make microbes act like robots."
A biochemical engineer by training, Asst Prof Chang, 36, is part of a team that was awarded a research grant in 2010 under the National Research Foundation's Competitive Research Programme funding scheme for their innovative work in engineering microbes to produce valuable biofuels from bio waste. Under the scheme, a project can receive up to S$10 million in funding.
"I'm keen to return the help I received as a child using what I'm good at," says Asst Prof Chang. Hence, his continuous desire to innovate.
For Asst Prof Poh, it's a privilege to groom the next generation of scientists as well as develop new technologies in the field of healthcare, which is his interest.
"Research means being at the forefront of something new and exciting that could potentially make our lives better," says the 35-year-old.
"Whenever I visit a hospital and see sick people on their beds, I'll wonder what else I can do to help them."

Lorena Ritchey: Seeking out solutions at Nationwide
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
The ability to adapt in the face of new challenges is not only a necessary component of success in business, it is what drives Lorena Ritchey, VP of project delivery services within the IT department at Nationwide. "Believe it or not, I gravitate towards problems," Ritchey says with gusto. "I love to solve a problem!"
It is what led her to where she is today, she believes. Ritchey has been with Nationwide for more than 20 years, but her road to IT a winding one. Originally part of the company's operations and business sectors, she found her way into tech through her desire to keep learning.
"It's not by accident, I think, that I found myself in IT specifically. Especially at Nationwide, where we look to use and leverage our technology to drive our business," she says. "I found myself fascinated in solving the problems, and just wanted to get closer and closer to building the solution. So, I found my way into IT, not accidentally, but through my own curiosity, because I was always planted in situations where they needed business expertise to solve the problems we had in the business through technology."
As Nationwide invests more than $550 million annually on IT-enabled programs and projects in support of its business strategy, it is an important area of focus for the company, affecting its ability to succeed in an ever-changing landscape.
In her current role, Ritchey is responsible for managing a shared PMO services organization spanning all locations, business units, and corporate functions, and leads executives, program and project managers, and an organizational change management team, totaling some 400 associates and contractors. Efficiency has improved under her leadership, utilizing best practices, such as DevOps and end-to-end Agile, to move the organization forward.
The company has also focused on diversity, and Ritchey took part in an interview process resulting in Nationwide winning a 2018 Catalyst Award in honor of its efforts to advance women and diverse groups in the workplace. She says she firmly believes in the power of "diversity in all facets." The company's goals are "trying to attract younger talent, trying to retain talent based on expertise, and also trying to attract diverse talent, and that's across the United States."
Ritchey is a strong supporter of these diversity efforts, and is an active member in groups both within and outside of the company that work toward those aims, including the Women in IT Forum, Women in Technology International, and the Women's Associate Resource Group. Additionally, she chairs Nationwide's IT Workforce Effectiveness committee and serves as the Executive Sponsor of its Asian Network Group. Outside the company, she is a Board Member on the Catholic Foundation and a founding Martha's Women Circle Member, and also a Board Member on the Bishop Watterson Catholic High School Mother's Club.
She also hopes to see more young women encouraged in the STEM fields. Part of that effort has seen her judging a "Girls Can Code Hackathon," where young women work with mentors to create an app in a short period of time, and, more broadly speaking, to consider a future for themselves in the science and technology fields.
"I want to make sure we use this [Women in Leadership honor] as a platform to encourage our young women, and our women who aren't necessarily young but are trying to reinvent themselves and wanting to get back into the workforce, that you can do it," Ritchey proclaims. "And especially in IT, given the fact that anybody can educate themselves. Anybody can upskill. You don't have to come from a traditional development background."
"And I'm an example," she adds. "I came from the business. I came from operations. I used to process transactions in the service center. But I had a curiosity to learn, and I had a desire to solve problems, and I'm here. That's the kind of story that I want to tell."

Lack of Helmet Kills Motorcyclist
A motorcyclist crashed in an accident on the North Freeway and later died because he was not wearing a helmet. According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office report, the crash occurred near Cypresswood Drive around 1 a.m. Thursday morning. Sheriff's deputies at the scene said that the rider had struck a curb and lost control of his motorcycle. In the accident, the rider struck his head and was critically injured. He was taken to Ben Taub Hospital where he later died of his injuries. No other vehicles were involved in the accident. Motorcycle accidents can cause very serious injuries. The most important thing to remember about motorcycle safety in addition to following the rules of the road is to wear a helmet. That one safety device can make all of the difference on just serious those injuries are and can ultimately save the life of the wearer. Because motorcyclists are much more exposed the elements and risks on the road than drivers of other types of motor vehicles are, taking every precaution to insure safety is important. Here are some ways to insure that you stay safe while riding a motorcycle: * Make sure each rider is wearing a helmet and other protective gear. * Check your headlights, turn signals, brake lights, mirrors and other equipment before setting out. * Be certain that your brakes are working the pressure in your tires is the right p.s.i. and at the proper pressure recommended in the owner's manual. * Check to see that the motorcycle's horn is in good working order. * Never ride more than two people on a motorcycle. The only exception to this important safety rule is when there is a sidecar attached to the motorcycle. Be sure to check the tire pressure on the sidecar as well. * When you are on the road, always be aware of potential hazards such as other vehicles that might not be able to see you, debris in the roadway, railroad tracks, or any other obstacles that could potentially cause an accident. * When you are riding your motorcycle around other vehicles such as large trucks, make certain that other drivers are aware of your presence. Sometimes a couple of short beeps of your horn to alert them of your presence can help. * When you are riding in traffic in the city, allow yourself a two-second stopping distance between your motorcycle and the vehicle in front of you. On the open road or under highway conditions, and depending upon your rate of speed, this stopping distance should be increased to three or four seconds or more. If it is dark, this stopping distance should be even greater. Allow yourself at least five to seven seconds or more of stopping time. * Be sure to check potential blind spots and turn your head. Helmets can sometimes cause vision impairment. Make sure your helmet has the DOT approved safety sticker before you purchase it. If you or someone you love has been involved in and injured in a motorcycle accident, give our experienced accident attorneys a call. Medical costs, damages, raised insurance rates along with other legal concerns are best handled through the advice of a competent legal professional with years of experience in the Texas legal system. When you call us, we can introduce you to an attorney who will be the best suited to help you with your case. Our lawyers take the time listen and to outline options for you and will file any necessary legal or insurance paperwork for you. Your initial consultation is free and without obligation.

21st SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME - Year C - Luke 13:22-30
Long before the antidiscrimination laws, Mrs. Rosenberg was stranded one night at a fashionable resort on Cape Cod, one that did not admit Jews. The desk clerk looked at his book and said, "Sorry, no room. The hotel is full."
The lady said, "But your sign says that you have vacancies." The desk clerk stammered a bit and finally said, "Look, you know that we do not admit Jews. Please try the other side of town." Mrs. Rosenberg stiffened. "I'll have you know I have converted to your religion."
The desk clerk replied, "Oh, yeah? Let me give you a little quiz. How was Jesus born?" "He was born to a virgin named Mary in a little town called Bethlehem," she replied. "Very good," the clerk said. "Tell me more." "He was born in a manger." "That's right," said the clerk. "And why was he born in a manger?" Mrs. Rosenberg said loudly, "Because some idiot behind a hotel desk wouldn't give a Jewish lady a room for the night.
There is the story of the evangelical conference. A man was late and arrived to find a huge auditorium packed to the brim until he spotted a chair way up front. He slowly edged his way up so as not to disturb the speaker; he leaned over to the woman next to it and whispered, "Is this chair saved?" She whispered back, "No, but we're praying for it."
So ends the issue about who's saved and who's not, who's in and who's out. It's a fruitless and irrelevant question-rightly ignored by Jesus. Since God calls every human being to salvation, the real issue is not numbers or trying to find out if I will be in the final count. But, how do we embrace God's invitation and calculate the cost?
Matthew tells us, "as long as you did it for the least of my brothers, you did it for me" - OR NOT. The crucial question is how did you spend yourself in service to others? Claiming you shared a few drinks is not going to cut it.
Someone who went beyond empty words and foolish numbers is an alcoholic by the name of Matt Talbot; an Irishman was born in 1856 to very poor Irish working-class people. At age 12 took his first job and his first drink. It wasn't long before the 12-year-old was coming home drunk. Not unlike today's drunken 14-year-olds getting off the train to go to teen night.
Matt later went to work at a brickyard and proved to be a good worker. Now in his late teens with steady pay he headed for one of Dublin's 2,000 pubs. Alcoholism was a major problem in Ireland and a record from 1865 showed that the police arrested some 16,000 Dubliners for drunkenness, a third of them women.
The laborers were paid in the pubs and so the paycheck seldom left there. Matt Talbot was in the forefront wasting his pay on drink. His addiction was such that sometimes he sold his boots or his shirt for a drink. To feed his habit, he once stole a fiddle from a blind man who earned his living playing in the streets.
No one knew then that alcoholism was an illness, a terrible craving arising from a complex disease involving heredity, emotional factors, and the makeup of the brain. Way back in 1784 Dr. Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia wrote a pamphlet suggesting that alcoholism was an illness rather than a moral failing, but it took nearly 2 centuries, 1958, for the American Medical Association to finally get around to that opinion.
One Saturday night Matt and his hard drinking brothers went to the local pub they were broke but expected their drinking buddies to treat them. They didn't. Matt was so angry that he left in a huff, trudged home and told his mother that he was so mad he was going to take the pledge and stop drinking. His mother said, "Go in God's name, but don't take it, unless you intend to keep it."
Keep it he did. From that point on he never took another drink. Withdrawal, nausea, and all the horrible aftermath followed but Matt held fast. They didn't have AA or Al-Anon or the 12 steps in those days. No friends of a New York stockbroker and the Ohio surgeon who founded AA in 1935 were around. Matt had to go it alone. But not quite - He had God and a devotion to Mary.
Up to this point Matt had been a nominal Catholic (after all, alcohol was his God and the bar was his altar), but after his conversion, he drew close to God. He started going to daily mass. He would kneel on the steps a half-hour before church opened. He made the Stations of the Cross, prayed the rosary daily, and gave much of his money to the poor. He followed ancient penitential practices, like sleeping on a plank instead of a mattress, and he found a wise spiritual director in a Msgr. Michael Hickey. He did this for years. A reformed alcoholic on the streets of Dublin, he had no time and less patience about who is saved or not. Prayer and service were his concerns.
Matt had a heart and kidney condition and at age 69, on Trinity Sunday, 1925, on his way to church he fell in the street and died. He was given the last rites, taken to the hospital, but having only a rosary and a prayer book on him no one knew who he was until his sister identified him. When his body was undressed at the hospital it was found that he was wearing chains, an old form of Irish monastic asceticism. People at the hospital were astounded and soon word got out. People heard of the chains got interested in him and stories of his Holiness spread eventually to the Vatican. He is now venerable Matt Talbot.
Lord, will only a few people be saved?" And Jesus said, "it's a non-question, for people will come from the East and the West, from the North and the South, from Cape Cod and Dublin, and will recline at table in the kingdom. You've been invited. How you respond, how your life is spent, not saved, is the only issue. End of discussion." End of homily.

The third quarter of 2018 brought a tumult of completed and newly started trade deals for the administration of President Donald Trump. Six ongoing deals will define the success of the President's trade policy approach ahead of the midterm elections, and beyond.
The renegotiated NAFTA deal, reborn as the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) has been agreed in principle but has yet to be signed. The biggest risk is whether an obstructionist Congress post-elections agrees to sign it or not.
The punch and counter-punch of tariffs against Chinese exports, started by the section 301 review of intellectual property rights, has no clear "off-ramp" at this stage. The next move is for President Trump to decide whether to escalate duties to cover all of China's exports and run the risk of further retaliation.
New trade negotiations have been started with both the European Union – which will likely focus on technical barriers to trade rather than tariffs – and Japan. The latter will likely take the longest to achieve given the requirements for Congressional consultations.
In the meantime negotiations with India are less formal and still ongoing, though tackling what the President has called "The Tariff King" will require balancing the needs of Make-in-India with Make-America-Great-Again.
Finally the Taiwanese government has called explicitly for free trade negotiations. That's exactly what the Trump administration is looking for, but would lead it into a geopolitical quagmire.
(1) USMCA – Updated NAFTA Needs to Clear Congress
NAFTA is reborn as USMCA following the conclusion of negotiations between Canada and the U.S. to join the prior deal struck between Mexico and the U.S. The revised text will now be reviewed by each country's parliaments in order to allow the deal to be formally signed by November 30. The major sticking points relating to dairy and dispute settlement were resolved, though from an economic – and Trump administration policy – perspective it was a solution to rules of origin that mattered most. The automotive sector, where U.S. imports totaled $138 billion in the past 12 months, has been the main focus.
The near-term impact on auto supply chains should be minimal given (a) most standards are phased in through 2023 and beyond and (b) the caps on parts exported to the U.S. from Canada and Mexico are 2.7x their current levels. Additionally there are limits on passenger vehicle exports that are 54% and 43% above current levels from Canada and Mexico to the U.S. Those ceilings equate to 54% of current total U.S. imports and may present a future challenge to striking trade deals with Japan and the EU. They too in total accounted for 54% of U.S. vehicle exports in the past year.

(2) China Tariffs – $250 billion Off-Ramp or $270 billion Escalation?
The Chinese government's decision to not engage in talks with the U.S. after the bilateral imposition of duties on $360 billion of trade makes it more likely President Trump will go ahead with his threat to apply duties on all Chinese exports. There were 8,656 tariff lines with imports worth $270 billion in the 12 months to July 31 that were not hit by the first three lists (July 6, August 23 and September 24).
There are several implementation challenges for the President. First is that several tariff lines have already been granted exemptions in previous assessments. That would rule out 128 of 1,080 chemicals products as an examples.
Secondly most remaining products are consumer goods where price increases may prove unpopular including $46 billion of mobile phones and $38 billion of laptops PCs. Targeting apparel ($27 billion) and footwear ($14 billion) for tariffs (a form of tax) is also regressive from an income perspective.
Furthermore targeting kids products ($12 billion of toys) seems politically untenable ahead of the holidays. A more nuanced approach targeting commercial products (computer monitors and printers) or those already subject to other tariffs (e.g. metals) may be more successful.

(3) EU / U.S Trade Negotiations – Early Harvest, Tough Grains
The USTR and European Commission have said out a process to cut technical barriers to trade (TBT) that will run through late November. That should maintain momentum after the initial kick-off between President Trump and President Juncker led to a standstill in new duties. It's unlikely though that a wider trade deal with complete tariff cuts will be delivered in the mold of TTIP. While the U.S. is applying for TPA deal approval from Congress that will likely only come after the midterms, possibly under a new Congressional makeup.
The EC may not get approval from Italy and France for negotiating authority. The $163 billion American merchandise deficit with Europe, including a record high in July 2018, will keep the Trump administration's eye on progress and could be partly satisfied by a small selection of reduced tariffs. Longer-term tariff reductions worth $12.4 billion may be possible ($7.2 billion on EU exports and $5.2 billion on U.S. exports). Leading products for discussion should include passenger and commercial vehicles ($2.4 billion of bilateral duties), beverages ($388 million) and refined oil products ($1.0 billion) based on average MFN duties applied at the HS-4 level.

(4) Japan / U.S. Negotiations – Hurry Up, Ask Permission, Then Wait
Negotiations to create a new Japan-U.S. trade agreement could be the defining policy action for both countries in 2019. The project, launched by Prime Minister Abe and President Trump, can't start until 90 days after Congress have been informed of the plan. That needs to include detailed negotiating positions 30 days before the talks start.
The initial negotiations will focus on reducing tariffs. On the basis of WTO duties, Americans paid $2.9 billion of tariffs on Japanese exports while $1.2 billion was paid by Japanese buyers of American products in the 12 months to July 31. That equates to average tariff rates of just 2% in each direction. There's plenty of potential opportunities but they may not be significant at the macroeconomic level.
The largest potential area cut U.S. import duties is in cars. The U.S. has a 2.5% rate and Japan 0% resulting in $1 billion of duties that could be cut. On the Japanese side the most significant tariffs are on beef with $655 million due to a 39% rate. There is also an opportunity to cut U.S. duties on Japanese capital goods exports. That could offset the increased costs for American industry resulting from section 301 duties on Chinese exports.

(5) India / U.S. Negotiations – "Make America Great Again" Meets "Make in India"
The Indian government believes trade talks with the U.S. will take target of facilitation measures rather than a full trade deal. That follows President Trump's assertion that India is ready to launch FTA negotiations. With a $22.6 billion Indian trade surplus in the 12 months to July 31 – despite a 21% surge in American exports to India – engagement with the U.S. may prove wise given the administration's stance on deficits.
India's imports in 2Q have been led by aerospace, coal and petrochemicals – the U.S. will want to promote oil and gas purchases too as India reduces its reliance on Iran. India's appetite for energy can be seen in its surging imports of all products which rose by 28% in August and by 18% in the past 12 months.
Read more → (Sept.13)
(6) Taiwan / U.S. Negotiations – Where Policy Meets Geopolitics
Taiwan's Foreign Minister has called on the U.S. to start bilateral, free trade negotiations. While that would fit with Trump administration policy both on trade and towards Taiwan there appear to have been few significant moves since a March directive from the President. That may be linked to ongoing, fractious negotiations with China. The U.S. accounted for 12% of Taiwan's exports in the 12 months to August 31 after an 8% expansion in the past year.
Yet, Taiwan's trade surplus of $17 billion vs. the U.S. will win it few friends in the Trump administration. Easy wins from a merchandise-led deal may prove hard to find. Taiwan is already a major importer of the American government's priority products including high tech semiconductor making gear was 8% of imports from America in the 12 months to July 31), aircraft, oil and soybeans. There may be some room for expansion of exports of autos (1.6% of Taiwan's imports from America, or half the proportion for all countries outside NAFTA) and pharmaceuticals (0.5%, or one third the proportion).

Favorite braised beef recipe launches new cooking column
Whenever I tell people that I cook and write about food for a living, the question inevitably comes up.
"So," they ask, "what's your specialty?"
I've never had a satisfying answer. I'd shrug, mentioning my love of Indian food or the millions of ways I've mastered, upon becoming a mother of two, some combination of butter and noodle. Most often, I'd reply that my specialty was "home food," a broad and meaningless descriptor meaning the food I cooked at home.
A little over a year ago, I signed a contract with the book publisher Little, Brown to write my first solo cookbook, "Repertoire," due out in spring 2018. (I have some experience in the cookbook realm; I've co-authored five of them.) As I wrote the proposal, I realized that what I'd been calling "home food" was actually something quite different: It was a repertoire.
The recipes that I cook year in, year out — the backbone of my cooking life — may at first seem like a random compilation: curried noodles, a blueberry-maple upside down cake, flank steak with salsa verde, bucatini all'Amatriciana. But upon closer inspection, the recipes that comprise my own repertoire aren't random at all. They're the keepers, the ones I've made so many times I can do them with my eyes closed.
Like a musician, these are the pieces I know how to perform, and I perform them often. Repertoire recipes are what I serve for both weeknight suppers and dinner parties, the meals that I feed my two young sons. They are real recipes, from real life, and they really work — durable enough for fledgling cooks but satisfying enough for the more experienced. I think they prove that home cooks don't need hundreds of recipes in their arsenal but only a few dozen, and the freedom that cooking them frequently gives you.
This column is intended to help you develop your own repertoire. These are recipes you can lean into, made to be repeated and riffed on, recipes that I've developed in my own home kitchen with you in mind, without fancy equipment or ingredients.
A dozen years ago, when I moved to San Francisco from Boston, Paul Bertolli's "Cooking by Hand" was one of the first cookbooks I picked up. Bertolli had cemented his reputation as a forefather of California-Italian cuisine, and his book introduced me to Neapolitan beef ragu, a piece of chuck braised in tomato sauce until fork-tender. I latched onto the idea and have made my version of it often.
The ingredients are few; the technique is basic. Time and low heat do most of the work, and what work it is — transforming a tough cut into something supple, and imbuing the sauce with deep savor. But the genius part of this recipe, especially for the time-strapped among us, is that it's actually two dinners in one.
For the first meal, serve the sliced beef with some cooked winter greens and polenta alongside. Then, for a second, simpler supper, toss that enriched tomato sauce with pasta and bury it under a snowdrift of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. The recipe works equally well with pork shoulder; you could add basil instead of rosemary, or swap the red wine for chicken stock. The braised beef benefits from being made a day ahead, and the sauce can be frozen for up to three months. People often call that freezer-stocking "money in the bank," but it's actually something much better: a promise of another home-cooked meal, just as good as the first.

Tomato-Braised Beef
Serves 6
3 to 4 pounds beef chuck, in one piece
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and finely diced
1 medium carrot, peeled and finely diced
1 stalk celery, finely diced
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine or chicken stock
2 (28 ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes
10 garlic cloves, peeled
1 sprig rosemary
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Season the beef generously on all sides with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or other heavy-bottom pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the beef (it should sizzle gently) and sear, turning as needed, until browned on all sides, about 10 to 15 minutes total. Transfer the beef to a rimmed baking sheet and add the onion, carrot and celery to the Dutch oven. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.
Pour in the wine, increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Boil until the liquid has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Pour the tomatoes into a bowl and, using your hands, coarsely crush. Add 4 cups of the crushed tomatoes to the pot (reserve the remaining 2 cups tomatoes) and stir to combine, then stir in the garlic.
Return the meat to the pot and tuck the rosemary sprig in alongside it. When the tomato sauce begins to simmer, remove from the heat. Cover the pot with a sheet of parchment paper, then the lid on top. Transfer to the oven. Let cook for about 30 minutes, then uncover and check; the liquid around the beef should be simmering gently. If it's bubbling vigorously, reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees.
Re-cover and continue to cook, turning the meat every hour or so, until the beef is fork-tender but not falling apart, about 3 hours. If the sauce looks too thick, add some of the remaining tomatoes. (To make ahead, cool to room temperature and then refrigerate, covered, for up to 2 days. Skim the fat from the surface of the braise with a spoon, then reheat, covered, in a low oven until heated through, about 30 minutes.)
With two large spoons, transfer the beef to a rimmed baking sheet. Let the tomato sauce sit until the fat rises to the surface, then use a spoon to skim off and discard. Season the sauce to taste with additional salt. Remove the rosemary sprig. You can leave the sauce with a rustic texture, or you can use an immersion or tabletop blender (or a food mill) to blend until smooth.
Transfer the beef to a cutting board and cut into thick slices, then transfer to a platter and spoon some of the sauce on top and alongside the meat. Serve warm. Surplus sauce will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 days, or can be cooled and frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or break into chunks and reheat gently over low heat in a saucepan.

This family name is an inheritance from our forefathers, to which one is committed. DeSilva stands for the selection of the best grape qualities and care of the land of the old, deeply-rooted vine enclosures. The origin and character from our vineyards make the difference.
Vine variety: 100 % White burgundy
Description: A full-bodied yellow with green reflexes and with a fresh aroma of apples, apricots and a hint of sage. Dense and elegant. Long persistently.
Position: Kühebene in Kaltern. It is a plateau at about 500-m sea and is approx. 50 years old; deep-being rooted grapes.
Land: The land is more loamy and less sandy.
Harvest: End of September, beginning of October.
Development: Mechanical removal from the stems, traditional mash fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Juice extraction is carried out before the stormy fermentation in order to guarantee optimum maceraton or extraction in the mash respectively. When fermentation is completed the wine is extracted from the marc and in this case deliberately stored in a stainless steel tank for biological acid degradation.
Serving temperature: 10-12 °C
Food recommendation: To hors-d'oeuvres, fish and to white meat and also recommendable as an Aperitiv.

A grant worth € 375.000 has been awarded to our members, Auke Pols and Andreas Spahn in the 2014/2015 MVI NWO competition, Top Sector Energy.
India faces two major challenges in the field of electricity generation and use. Its electricity demand is growing while its central grid suffers from severe performance deficits. Meanwhile, a significant part of India's population does not even have access to the central grid. The Indian government aims to address these challenges in part by using smart grids, energy networks that use ICT to match supply and demand from multiple sources. However, successful smart grid development is not simply a matter of getting the technology right: social embedding, ethical acceptability and institutional support are at least as important. This project therefore sets out to answer the question: How can smart grids be successfully developed and implemented in rural India?
The goal of the project is to answer the research question by the actual responsible development and implementation of a smart grid prototype.

Tacoma Public Schools is the fourth largest districts in Washington, behind Seattle, Spokane and Lake Washington. It serves about 30,000 children in preschool through 12th grade and has 35 elementary schools, 11 middle schools, 10 high schools and four early learning centers. Reaching a graduation rate of 89.6 percent, the Tacoma School District's Class of 2019 witnessed its most successful year since the State began tracking the statistic in 2003.
But how did the district and public education start in Pierce County?
The first formalized classes ever held in what is now Washington state were held in the Nisqually Methodist Mission. The humble building was located near the Hudson's Bay Co. operations at Fort Nisqually in present day DuPont. The teacher was Chloe Clark, but the mission only lasted two years, from 1840 until 1842. The mission didn't do all that well in converting the Native Americans of the area, so it was simply abandoned. But it did mark another first in history. It marked the first wedding of American citizens in Western Washington. Clark married William Willson, who would later go down in history as the founder of Salem, Oregon.
The elementary school in DuPont is named in Clark's honor to mark the milestone of her bringing education to the region, but those classes were more religious in nature than your typical public education. Keep in mind that their Methodist Mission came and went almost a full decade before the American settlement of Steilacoom and the Army base of Fort Steilacoom were ever created, so it is not like they were teaching settler children.
Education for the children from the growing numbers of settlers to the area would start in 1854 in a two-story log cabin on the banks of Steilacoom in 1854.
It was the home of Rev. John F. DeVore and wife Jane, who founded and ran the nearby Methodist Church. Lydia Anne Bonney conducted classes in their living room during the school year, which ran in July, August and September that year. She is therefore honored as being the first public school teacher north of the Columbia River and why Steilacoom is designated as School District #1 within Washington State.
During the Indian War of 1855-1856, the log-structure-turned-schoolhouse also became a blockhouse that provided safety in case of an attack, an attack that never came. Regardless of that fact, the children kept their trinkets and books tied in handkerchiefs – ready for quick removal – and many of them had hiding places picked out beneath logs in the woods both for their belongings and themselves, in case the Indians overran their school.
Hostilities ended in mid-1855, and a treaty was signed in 1856. Calm returned to the land. The end of the Indian War brought an influx of settlers to Puget Sound, and they had children. They needed schooling. But they were farm folk, and Steilacoom was a metropolitan center that was far from the homesteads. That fact made it difficult to get kids to school on time.
In 1855, the first purpose-built school north of the Columbia River was constructed at the current site of Park Lodge School in Lakewood. Lumber from Andrew Byrd's Lumber Mill at Lake Steilacoom was donated to construct the one-room schoolhouse. The school drew children from as far east as Spanaway and Fern Hill. The Byrd School was moved a year later to a more central location on land donated by W. P. Dougherty. The one-acre site was on the southwest corner of his land claim, property later known as the Flett Dairy. It is now the corner of Steilacoom Boulevard and Lakewood Drive. The school was rebuilt and expanded in 1861 and remained in use until 1885, when it burned to the ground.
The site laid undisturbed for more than a century, until it was excavated by members of the Lakewood Historical Society in 1999 as the site was preparing to become an apartment complex. The oil lamps, nails, hinges and candle holders that were found are now on display at the Lakewood History Museum.
Formal school district's mushroomed around the region as the Territorial Legislature enacted a property tax to fund schools rather than having communities gather donations.
The area kept growing so a more formalized educational system was needed. Tacoma School District No. 10, given its name as the 10th district in the state, was largely influenced by a new influx of European immigrants. Many immigrant families, primarily from eastern and southern Europe, for example, were from rural areas and struggled to adapt to a more urban way of life. This focus on the civic responsibilities of schools resulted in the improvement of libraries, lunchrooms, administrative offices and other rooms designated toward providing the necessary space to address community concerns.
James P. Stewart is noted as Tacoma's first teacher, for serving the first year in 1869. A middle school is named after him.
The Pierce County Board of Education formed. Its first superintendent was Clara McCarty. She also holds the distinction of being the first graduate – male or female – of the Territorial University, now known as the University of Washington. She was one of 17 freshmen and the only one to graduate. She is also noted as the first woman to hold elected office in Pierce County.
She had earned a bachelor's degree in science in June 1876 and taught classes for a few years and then attended the University of California before returning to the area. On November 2, 1880, McCarty was elected Superintendent of Pierce County Schools. She was 22 years old. She supervised the schools in Tacoma, Orting, Sumner and Puyallup. She then married John H. Wilt in 1882 and opted out of seeking reelection. Her successor was also a woman – Cornelia Greer. A University of Washington dormitory, built during the construction boom of the 1960s, was named in her honor. McCarty Hall was torn down in 2015. It has since been replaced with a new hall that also bears her name.
As the county seat and the South Sound's most populous city, Tacoma's school district grew as the city grew. What is now the district's central administration building started its life as Tacoma High School, which operated from 1896 to 1906. It was also the site of the short-lived Washington College for Boys, which operated from 1885 until 1896.
Wood schoolhouses in neighborhoods were proving too small. Concrete structures then sprung up. John Rogers Elementary School, built in 1907, holds the distinction as the district's first concrete school building. Noted architect Fredrick Heath designed the building while he was also retrofitting the failed hotel project that is now Stadium High School as well as the Pythian Temple and a host of other buildings. Rogers operated for generations before being closed in 2002. It was most recently renovated to be Destiny Middle School, a charter school that closed after only three years of operation. It is now vacant again.
What is now Jason Lee Middle School, started out as West Intermediate School. It was the first and largest of six intermediate schools funded in 1923. It was created on the former campus of the College of Puget Sound (now the University of Puget Sound) at 6th Avenue and North Sprague Avenue by architect Roland E. Borhek. The school was named after the notable Methodist missionary and pioneer Jason Lee.
Now, the story of how UPS moved to its current location is a bit of an interesting story that reaches just outside of the City of Destiny. The University of Puget Sound was founded in 1888 by what is now the United Methodist Church. The idea for a private college in Tacoma originated with Charles Henry Fowler, who had previously been the president of Northwestern University. Fowler was in Tacoma for a Methodist conference when he spoke of his vision of a Christian institution of learning in the area. In September 1890, UPS opened its doors, taking in 88 students.
Enrollment grew, so the university wanted more space. Administrators purchased land on a waterfront site just west of town. Those plans fizzed, however, after it was determined that the site was too far away from downtown Tacoma. That land was sold to raise money for another site before then finally settling on the current North Tacoma location. That news disappointed education-seeking settlers of that area. They had already given the neighborhood of the would-be campus a name, University Place. It's a name that survived until it was formalized in 1995, when the area became a city.

At a special briefing, US State Department officials said that the administration was doing away with emergency and security messages and have instead gone for a four-ranking system, starting with a Level 1, which is "Exercise normal precautions"; Level 2 "Exercised increased caution"; Level 3 "Reconsider travel and Level 4, which is "Do not travel". India was placed in Level 2 category.
According to Associate Press, Afghanistan was placed in Level 4, "Do not travel" category for reasons that included terrorism, civil unrest and armed conflict.
"Travel to all areas of Afghanistan is unsafe because of high levels of kidnappings, hostage taking, suicide bombings, widespread military combat operations, landmines, terrorist and insurgent attacks, including attacks using vehicle-borne or other improvised explosive devices (IEDs)," says the advisory for Afghanistan.
"Attacks have targeted official Afghan and U.S. government convoys and compounds, foreign embassies, military installations, commercial entities, non-governmental organization (NGO) offices, hospitals, places of worship, restaurants, hotels, airports, and education centers."
According to the advisory, family members cannot accompany US government employees who work in Afghanistan while unofficial travel by US government employees and their family members is restricted and requires prior approval from the US State Department.
Pakistan was placed in Level-3 "Reconsider travel" category, and travelers have been advised not to travel to Balochistan, KPK and FATA due to terrorism. It also included AJK, potential for armed conflict between Pakistan and India.
According to advisory, over the past six months, there have been at least 40 significant terrorist attacks across Pakistan, resulting in over 225 deaths and 475 wounded, most of which occurred in Balochistan, KPK, and the FATA. In the past, there have been large-scale terrorist attacks resulting in hundreds of casualties.
For India, the travel advisory asked travelers to exercise increased caution due to crime and terrorism with some areas have increased risk. Travelers have been asked not to travel to Indian-held Jammu and Kashmir due to "terrorism and civil unrest".
The advisory said that Indian authorities report rape is one of the fastest growing crimes in India whereas violent crime, such as sexual assault, has occurred at tourist sites and in other locations. "Terrorist or armed groups are active in East Central India, primarily in rural areas."
It said that the U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in rural areas from eastern Maharashtra and northern Telangana through western West Bengal as U.S. government employees must obtain special authorization to travel to these areas.

The Big Bears Room
The Big Bear Room caters for children aged 2 and a half years to 5 years old in an environment which promotes independence with children being able to freely choose activities based on their own interests. The room has clearly defined learning areas such as an art area, book corner, role play area amongst many others.
Following the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, children are encouraged to develop skills such as basic maths and literacy, decision making, creativity and social skills as well as learning about the world we live in. This is supported through independent play, adult and child led activities, key group time and time spent doing one to one activities.
Independence is encouraged in all areas, especially in preparation for school with children taking the lead in areas such as deciding on appropriate clothing for outdoor play and dressing themselves, serving their own vegetables at mealtimes and working things out for themselves.
A range of additional activities are also offered such as Debutots, French lessons and football sessions.
Sharon McGregor is the Room Leader of the Big Bear room and works alongside Ceri Frost, Ruth Lamphee and Cye Gates.

School is in full swing here and I've started to see some Halloween decor pop up in our neighborhood already. I haven't gotten that far, of course, but I have started to crave a little pumpkin…
I've adapted the following recipe from here.
Pumpkin Oat Muffins
2 cups of oatmeal (either quick oats or rolled oats)
1 15-16 oz. can of pumpkin
1/4 cup of honey
1 cup of Greek yogurt
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. of baking powder
1/2 tsp. of baking soda
1 tsp. of pumpkin spice
1tsp. of vanilla extract
chocolate chips, amount as desired
- Blend oatmeal in a food processor until the texture is fine.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the oatmeal and blend together in a food processor. Add the amount of chocolate chips desired and stir.
- Grease cupcake pan or liners. **The lack of oil in this recipe may cause the muffins to stick to the pan and/or liners.**
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick is removed cleanly. Allow muffins to cool before consuming!
This recipe will yield about 12 muffins.
Note: We strive to eat naturally. To us, that means we eat locally, organically, and we avoid foods that are genetically-modified and/or processed whenever possible! When prepared, recipes are modified as such. Some of us here also eat gluten, soy, and dairy free!
These are perfect for breakfast, lunch, and everything in between!
