From the apple in our pies to the pumpkin in our soups, we have bees to thank for many everyday ingredients …not just honey. In fact, one third of the fruit and vegetables that we eat today, as well as nuts and many other flowers and plants, depend on bees for pollination.
Teaching children the importance of the roll of honeybees on earth is vital to their protection. A great start is by introducing them to the anatomy of a honeybee. This printable, paired with our Protecting Honeybees e-course for kids is the perfect deep dive into conservation education. Teach kids today how to be Global Guardians of tomorrow!

Hi all!
I'm new here. Avid Apple fan. Apple //e was my first computer so I have a lot of love for it.
I came across this Apple // inspired computer case but I'm a little worried it's nonsense.
It does have over 70 backers but all the images look like nice computer renders not the real deal.
What do you guys think?

Buy Now 10k Yellow Gold 1.35mm Solid Singapore Chain Necklace, 20″
10k yellow gold classic singapore necklace Necklace finished with spring ring clasp Perfect chain for your favorite charm or collectible
- This is exactly what I wanted, only I didn't know it! In spite of the reviews that should have clued me in, this necklace really is incredibly thin and delicate-looking; I was expecting something a tad heftier. But it is absolutely gorgeous, and just what I wanted to wear around my neck all the time, whether or not I'm wearing another necklace in addition. Several people here have commented on how "sparkly" it is: it looks like a line of light around your throat, subtle, hardly there, but definitely present. I love it. It seems sturdy, I've worn it ever since I got it 5 days ago, shower, bed, etc. I have short hair, so that hasn't been a problem, might if I had long hair. Another reason to wear it all the time is that the ring clasp is tiny; I'm pretty good with such things, but am not enthusiastic about taking this off and putting it back on very often…
I want to add that the double presentation box it comes in is extremely impressive, but a little crazy with a piece of jewelry this size: the necklace would be completely dwarfed by a box a quarter the size. I guess it's the thought that counts, but if I had received this as a gift the box would have led me to believe I was getting the Hope Diamond.
- This is a lovely necklace. The thickness is perfect for a women, its not too thin or too thick. It sparkles quite well. I love it. This was what I could afford at the time, and I am not disappointed.
- Better quality than I expected. My husband loves it and doesn't take it off.

Uptown New Orleans: A Family-Friendly Itinerary
While some other parts of the city may be more known for their late-night entertainment options, Uptown, with its child-friendly food scene, ease of navigation via streetcar, and vibrant, walkable commercial corridors like Magazine and Freret streets, offers a wide variety of things to do with kids. There are great bookstores, parks and playgrounds, tours, cafes, restaurants, museums, and shops that are perfectly suitable for the under-18 crowd.
St. Charles Avenue, Magazine and Freret streets are packed with shopping destinations, art galleries, and restaurants (many of which have spacious outdoor or balcony seating). Freret Street is also home to a market, held on the first Saturday of every month from noon till 4 p.m. The event features live music and plenty of food vendors. Magazine and Freret Streets are easy to walk, and you can take a streetcar all the way along St. Charles Avenue for a mere $1.25.
The majestic, oak tree-lined St. Charles Avenue is one of the most beautiful streets in the country, if not the world, with blocks upon blocks of spectacular mansions and landscaped gardens. The ride on the historic St. Charles Avenue line streetcar is high on top of the many visitors' bucket list because it's the oldest continuously operating streetcar line in the world (since 1835), and because it affords a very easy and pleasant way to see the Garden District and Uptown areas.
To take in all the beauty of the Italianate, Victorian and Greek Revival architecture of Uptown, you can take your kids on a free walking tour. Many of the original mid-19th century mansions have been immaculately preserved and are surrounded by the impressive gardens. Both self-guided and guided tours are available daily in the Garden District and Uptown — on foot or by bus or car (free for kids under 6). Kids and adults alike might also like visiting Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, one of the oldest cemeteries in the city, located in the heart of the Garden District, between Washington, Sixth, Prytania, and Coliseum streets.
Another must-stop, especially if you have kids in tow, is the magnificent Audubon Park. Located in the historic district of Uptown near the picturesque campuses of Tulane and Loyola universities, Audubon Park is perfect for a stroll or a picnic (bring some bread to feed the ducks). Lined with hundreds of ancient live oaks, it features a 1.8-mile jogging path, playgrounds, picnic shelters, a lagoon, recreation areas, and a zoo.
The Audubon Zoo is one of the top zoos in the country, full of lush vegetation and exotic animal exhibits. The younger kids may like riding the zoo's Swamp train, and older kids can try the Safari Simulator ride. The Zoo features rare white alligators, a komodo dragon, sea lion shows, a carousel, and the award-winning Louisiana Swamp and Jaguar Jungle natural habitat areas. During the warmer months, you may want to bring your bathing suits and splash in the Zoo's mini water park, the Cool Zoo. Tickets are $22.95 for adults and $17.95 for kids ages 2-12 (Cool Zoo is $12 extra).
Another remarkable destination for the kids is the Louisiana Children's Museum, a 30,000 sq. ft. space of over 100 interactive exhibits that include a climbing wall, art studio, and mock cafe. Tiny tots have they own play area. And last but not least, the Maple Street Book Shop is a treasure trove of all things Louisiana and offers free storytime for kids on Saturday mornings.
Eating and Drinking
Uptown is packed with restaurants that feature kid-friendly menus and/or menus catering to children specifically. These are but a few highlights, starting with St. James Cheese Company, home of the $5 Mini Moo sandwich. Targeting the "smaller cheese lovers," it's made Hook's Cheddar cheese grilled on wheat bread, and comes with chips and fruit. The kids will probably also love the shop's cheese and charcuterie boards, which change daily and come with bread and an assortment of condiments (prices range from $12.50 for three items to $30 for 10).
We also recommend The Company Burger on Freret and Cadiz streets for its solid menu of delicious burgers, fries and milkshakes; and the famous Camellia Grill diner with an extensive breakfast menu. The affordable Dat Dog at its Freret Street location dishes out a wide variety of meat, fish, vegan and veggie hot dogs, sausages, and other kid-friendly comfort food like burgers and chicken. Your kids will be happy to know that the dogs and the sausages come with a choice of more than 30 toppings.
For local comfort food with homestyle Creole and Cajun fare like po-boys and jambalaya, try Joey K's on Magazine Street. The menu is already kid-friendly, but there's also a kids' menu — with grilled cheese, fried shrimp and catfish, and more. The seafood-focused Superior Seafood & Oyster Bar has great views of St. Charles Avenue, an oyster bar, and a kids' menu that goes beyond chicken tenders, with items like the grilled shrimp and grilled chicken pasta alfredo.
For a sweet treat, Sucre on Magazine Street cannot be beat for its Parisian patisserie feel and dozens of amazing confections. The whole family will enjoy the cakes and the macaroons, and there is a serious beverage menu for the adults to enjoy. DISTRICT. Donuts. Sliders. Brew. on Magazine and Jackson streets also has a sophisticated coffee menu plus donuts and sliders. The tiny District: Donut & Coffee Bar location on the corner of Arabella and Magazine streets offers a smaller menu, though still packed with coffee and espresso options, plus kolaches, biscuits, donuts, and sandwiches.

The state election outcomes from November have proved once again that a respectable amount of the population from various states support the use of medicinal cannabis. The total number of states that have passed laws legalizing the medicinal or recreational use is now 28. With more and more states changing their laws, there has been an increase in the opportunities for glass blower artists to cash in on the individuals seeking heady glass to use. Some artists have huge fan bases and followings and with each piece, they create fetching thousands of dollars. With more and more money entering the industry, functional heady glass has never been more popular.
A heady glass pipe is a handmade, piece of blown glass that serves as a functional pipe for smoking. Artists can create just about anything out of glass and each one has their own unique style that their followers will pay big money to own. Some pieces are part of a limited run while others are truly one-of-a-kind works of art. While many turn to social media to grow their followings, art galleries are starting to show interest in this emerging style of art. A few years ago, pipe-makers would not have been considered artists outside of the cannabis community, however, now the pieces they make are regarded as fine art and have attracted the eye of the art collecting community.
Pieces of heady glass art are highly coveted by collectors from the fine art community as well as the cannabis community. Glass pipe blowers who started out making glass art quickly realized the opportunity that the cannabis community offered. One artist said that he would struggle to sell a glass flower for one price but he could create the same flower into a functional pipe for smoking and easily sell it for double the price. Functionality is now demanded and the artists are delivering. Social media has been one of the major forces behind emerging artist's popularity over the years. Networking with smoke shops and showcasing their pieces on the shop's social media accounts provides a huge grassroots marketing presence for these artists. Smoke shops provide an outlet for these artists to display and sell their pieces to the community.
There are some important things to look for before purchasing a piece of heady glass art. Sometimes during the complicated and intricate process of creating the pieces things go wrong. So before you lay down a decent amount of money for a piece be sure to check for these things:
- Hairline Cracks– if the colors in the glass do not set properly after completion, the pieces are more likely to fracture. Be sure to check the entire piece over for hairline cracks.
- Water Test– if you are allowed, perform the water test to ensure that the pipe functions correctly.
- Base– since you are investing a sizable amount of money in a piece of heady glass, you want to make sure that the base is stable. It should not be easy to tip over by accident, especially since the glass is fragile.
- Joint Placement- you don't want the joint too close to your face because that can be a hindrance while using.
- Upselling– make sure that you know what you are buying. Some shops may misrepresent heady glass pieces in hopes of charging more to unknowing customers.
For those wishing to start a collection of heady glass, the options available are truly endless. Before making your purchase, explore the different shops in your area to get a feel for what you might like. Also, social media can be a great place to explore your options. For those in South Florida, Holy Smokes Smoke Shop has the best selection of heady glass.

The World Next Door
Curated by Ruth Bianco
11 June → 28 June 2009
Malta Contemporary Art, Marsa
The idea for this exhibition grew out of a continuing interest with the "notion of territory". The participants are all artists I have met on my travels whilst they themselves were "away from home", engaged in fine art research. It is within this ongoing context of interrogation and travel that I would like to introduce the works in this joint exhibition. This implies that the work is contextually fluid and nomadic - open-ended, questioning journeys, rather than closures. The show, therefore, is "a-topic" in that the works resist fixture and examine "territory" through temporality and 'viatorisation' in terms of themes, materiality, personal experiences and artistic navigation. For clearly, spatial perception is transformed when global networks, speedy travel, political, business and weather crunches bring more climates for flight, migration, and a collapse of distance, with yet a stronger awareness of cultural multiplicity. The sociologist Marc Augé talks of a sweeping "net" wherein the knots link us together. Yet, like the junctions on a spatial superhighway these constellate in multi-directions.
The language of video was chosen not only for its mobility but also because it is an apt expression for 'the consumption of movement'; even more so, because its light-bound nature gives a spatial and visual freedom that remains very particular to it. Adversely, the medium's "ease" often gives it a non-place amongst art formats, particularly here in Malta, although it is precisely its transience that in fact gives it potential and conceptual challenge. Indeed, when Augé identifies "non-places" (eg airports, stations, motorways) as consumptive havens of fleeting character, he also sees them as: 'the extension of new spaces in our world; spaces of circulation giving us the sense that the earth is small..' The non-place is: 'a space of absolute freedom. A freedom that remains very particular.'
These videos have that kind of vehicular quality, where the materiality of time itself is part of the issue of the materiality of art and culture today, combined in the personal histories, land politics, physicality, loss, sense of itinerancy, escape or imaginings through which each artist here chooses to address territoriality. For, increasingly, we are told, there no longer is any territory... this has become one of the illusory effects of globalisation. In his recent introduction to Altermodernity, Nicolas Bourriaud observes: 'in a world every inch of which is under satellite surveillance, territory takes the form of a construction or a journey'. 'The exodus' he says is the gestural legacy of modernity leading to the current standpoint of: 'the extreme globalisation of culture'. In the context that art has always been creatively "fugitive", my view is that more than "refugee", the contemporary artist is "avatar" (living transformed realities). My surmise is that territoriality is but "connective transitoriness". The artists here all navigate through different media to explore interdisciplinary practice in their art, and video is but one conceptual departure for them in this show.
The title of this show is a re-use from a literary work by Rajni Srikanth that searches for human meanings beyond cultural identities, places and current tense geopolitics. In this exhibition, the moving image is used as a metonymic device to map territoriality through individual meanings by artists I met on the move, themselves on the move, whose art is in research and on the move:
Reem Bader, Maria Papanastasiou, Sumita Chauhan, Linda Gibson, Leah Decter, Josephine Turalba, Esin Croft.
And life goes on.. (2004) by Reem Bader
Bader presents herself as protagonist of her own dislocation in this video which she produced whilst "away from home". The act of using two chairs to move around with daily life issues portrays the sense of displacement within one's own territory.
Reem Bader (b Ramallah) is from Palestine and now lives in Amman, Jordan where she works with the Royal Film Commission. She began her practice as a graphic designer and illustrator, and later completed an MFA at UCA, UK in 2005. Her work has been shown in art exhibitions and film festivals in different parts of the world including: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Japan, and India.
Green Line...(2009) by Maria Papanastasiou
Papanastasiou uses screen as mapping device to plot 'placeless place' and hard fact: Nicosia, Cyprus, 'the only city in the world divided in two parts'. Empathy is personified in the heterotopic mirror-split: 'I am over there, there where I am not.. there where I am absent'.
Maria Papanastasiou (b Athens) currently works and lives between Greece and the UK. She finished an MA at the University for the Creative Arts, UK; now continuing to MPhil/PhD in FA. Engaged in multi-media practice including: print media, installation, video. Has shown work in major galleries in Athens and Mykonos; UK and Malta. Works in many private collections in Greece, and in New York.
Homage to Space (2009) by Sumita Chauhan
Chauhan examines territoriality through its intrinsic relationship of body to space. Spatial awareness is revealed in the act of stitching space itself. In her words, this 'irrational behaviour of locating and relocating space brings presence of new organic shapes'.
Sumita Chauhan (b New Delhi) currently lives and works between New Delhi, India and the UK. Taught art; later pursued an MA in FA at UCA, UK, currently continuing to MPhil/PhD. Interdisciplinary practice includes: sculpture, installations, multimedia. Shows internationally and was resident artist in UK; selected for International Peninsula Art Festival in Taiwan; and AIR programme in Finland.
Passages from India (2-channel)(2008)by Linda Gibson
Gibson juxtaposes found footage (a home film and a mainstream film relating to the British Raj of 1920s) to explore the notion of "abroad", of "another", as possible utopian visions of travel and film. This questions the perplexing conundrum of truth and fiction.
Linda Gibson (b England) lives and works in Kent, UK. She trained in painting at Goldsmith's in London, and took an MA in Fine Art at UCA, UK moving into mixed media and video to explore the dichotomy between fiction/drama and truth/documentary. Engaged in art education parallel to international practice; recent shows include: London Biennale UK; FA Mus., Malta; Artconnexion, Lille, France.
Imprint (2008) by Leah Decter
Decter explores territoriality through the 'perpetual palimpsest'. Personal histories and Jewish custom, whereby 'pebbles are left on a gravestone to mark a visit to the dead' are echoed in the ritual loop of laying stone upon stone upon stone as an 'act of remembering'.
Leah Decter (b Canada) lives and works in Winnipeg, Canada. She is currently taking an MFA in New Media at Transart Institute at Donau University, Linz, Austria. Interdisciplinary practice includes: installation, video, photography, performance, public interventions, sculpture. Has worked as curator and educator in the arts, undertaken residencies and exhibited widely in: Canada, USA, Australia, and UK.
Mighty Ballistic (2008) by Josephine Turalba
Turalba explores violence as an age-old exchange for power and territorial acquisition everywhere. She takes to the streets in her "body armour" - a brass bullet dress - as a way to test tensions between placid reaction and infliction, protection and hostility.
Josephine Turalba (b Manila) lives and works in Manila, Philippines. She is currently taking an MFA in New Media at Transart Institute at Donau University, Linz, Austria. Engaged in interdisciplinary practice: jewellery design, video, painting, installation, performance and sculpture. Received international recognition in jewellery design. Exhibited in: the Philippines, New York, Berlin.
So Many Words are Left Unspoken (2005) by Esin Croft
Croft gives voice to silence. Cultural conflict and the need for escape from: 'the heavy weight of religion' and 'inherent prejudice against women', are translated into iconographic transitions from east to west to parallel 'masks of repression and displacement'.
Esin Croft (b Turkey) comes from Istanbul, Turkey and currently lives and works in the UK. Following art & design studies in Istanbul, Turkey, she completed an MA in Fine Art at UCA, UK. Engaged in interdisciplinary art and design, she currently runs a practice focused on ceramic and graphic design, along with showing and creating other work in video, sculpture and drawing. Has shown in Turkey and UK.
after 800 metres take the motorway... (2009) by Ruth Bianco
A video shot on the road "away from home", exploring the language of the super highway in which the utopian freedom of overland travel, driving, infinite motorways and anonymity is overshadowed by the satellite gaze of the GPS (Global Positioning System).
Ruth Bianco (b Malta) graduated with an MA and PhD in Fine Art from the University for the Creative Arts, UK. Recent exhibitions include: Remont Gallery, Belgrade, Serbia 2009; Windows upon Oceans, Apollonia European Art Exchanges, Strasbourg, France 2009; Dans la Nuit des Images, Grand Palais, Paris 2008; Crossings, Amiens, France 2007; Virtual Residency, Faux Mouvement Centre d'Art Contemporain, Metz, France 2007; Femme d'Europe, Saint Tropez, France 2006; National Museum of Fine Arts, Valletta, Malta, 2008/06; BV Gallery, Landes-Kultur Zentrum, Linz, Austria, 2008; Bezruc Opava Festival, Dum Umeni, Opava, and Fiducia Galerie, Ostrava, Czech Republic 2007; Rencontres Internationales, Paris, Berlin, Madrid 2006/2007/2008; Citric Gallery, Brescia, Italy, 2006; Herbert Read Gallery, Canterbury, England & Waikato University, New Zealand 2005; Canterbury Cathedral, Canterbury, UK 2005; War Shelters, Birgu, Malta 2005; Pinto Wharf, Valletta, Malta 2003.
Collections include: Tate Gallery London; Victoria & Albert Museum, London; Royal College, London. Recent curated show: Mile of Paper at the National Museum of Fine Arts, Valletta (2008). She is also Visiting Tutor for the MA in Fine Art at University for the Creative Arts, UK; Artist tutor for the MFA at Transart Institute at Donau University, Linz, Austria; and Senior Lecturer in Art & Design in the Dept of Architecture at the University of Malta.

Many people suffer an injury because of an accident, and sometimes, it is serious. You suffered a burn, had a car accident, or a slip-and-fall resulted in an injury. In some cases, it's an unavoidable accident.
Sometimes, however, it might count as a personal injury. However, when does it count, and what can you do about it? If you believe you suffered a personal injury and you want to act now, reach out to a personal injury law firm to get the help you need.
What is a Personal Injury?
You suffered an injury, but not every accident is a personal injury. The situation must meet a few criteria before you can file a claim. If you suffered an injury, make sure you qualify for compensation.
A personal injury happens as a result of someone else's negligence with another person's safety. We all have a "duty of care" that states we should, within reason, avoid causing harm to others. This might include making our property safe or warning people of danger, driving with care, and avoiding causing harm where possible.
What Can You Do?
If you've been injured by another person, you may want to file a civil lawsuit against the person. Unlike a criminal suit, these cases are meant to compensate you when you've been wronged by another person. You'll need to file within the statute of limitations, which is a time limit that will leave you barred from recovery if you don't act in time.
For example, Michigan residents will have three years to file a claim before they're barred from filing. Once you've filed, you'll take your claim to court if the responsible party won't offer a reasonable settlement.
Fighting Back with an Attorney
Unfortunately, it's not always easy to get compensation for your personal injury. You'll need to be sure that you're following all the laws that could affect your claim, and you'll need to be ready for the defense to protect their interests. If you don't have help, there's a chance that the worth of your claim could be devalued or dismissed.
Before you get started, then, reach out for help. You'll need someone with experience to get your claim settled, and if you're not familiar with personal injury law, it's not difficult to lose the compensation you need. So, reach out for help with your personal injury lawsuit before you get started.

Chesley was 10 months old on November 5th. She weighs 21lbs 8oz. She is standing without holding on to anything for a few seconds here and there but mostly when she has no idea she is doing it. The scond she realizes it her little tush hits the floor and she looks at me like, "What was I supposed to do next?" She has decided she is totally done with saying Mama and all she says now is Da-da-da-deeee! Which is really a shame because Daddy's not here for a while-and is missing his girl!! He's worried she may walk before he gets back but I doubt it. Just in case she decides to prove me wrong I am doing nothing to encourage her! So one day when she asks how old she was when she walked I'll tell her however old she ends up being and then I'll say, "But you might have walked sooner if I hadn't stunted your development so that your Daddy wouldn't miss out!" She's still her smiling sweet self but gaining attitude every single day! Once again the monthly photo shoot was no easy feat! Mom had to come over and then walk into the kitchen and hide then sneak up behind Chesley on the couch to hold the sign up. This only lasted till Chesley got curious about what I was looking at behind her and then it was all over! We got a couple cute ones though-enjoy!
"Wow, Mama you can flip me over and get back into camera position pretty quick! But not quick enough to catch my smile!"

Hello Escondido Soccer Club and FC Heat families,
In this edition of the newsletter you will find quite a lot of information that you may need to review more closely. All of this is available on our Websites: FCHeat.org and Escon
Our End of Season party and celebration was a huge success. Scheduled on the Friday where Monday through Thursday poured down rain, we finally got lucky. Even though it was chilly and windy, hundreds of families showed up for drinks, tacos and music and the kids enjoyed scrimmage games against the coaches.
This day epitomized the kind of club Escondido Soccer Club and FC Heat has become. The home town based, family club for the children and families of our city.
This was a day to recognize our players and the families that drive them (no pun intended). It was a time to see the people and staff behind the scenes who keep our club moving forward. And it was a time to recognize the high achievers in all categories. Without all of the above, we would just be a run-of-the-mill style soccer club – This was a day where we were able to celebrate our success together and join in the fun and camaraderie, and absorb the smiles and laughter of our children.
The Awards List…
FC Heat Manager of the Year was Kristin Fox and Volunteer of the Year was Tracy Wright. Jessica Escobedo was Board Member of the Year and Coach Bryan Wilkes was Coach of the Year with Roger Rolim de Moura as Runner-Up.
A special Cornerstone Award was presented to Coach Jose Valle for his dedication and service to the youth of our club. A card that accompanied his trophy said this;
"The corner stone of any building is by far the strongest point. A building is built from the ground up with deep and strong foundations to uphold the test of time.The Cornerstone Award uses this as a mission statement in the lives of our children.
The award is given to an outstanding member of FC Heat Elite & Escondido Soccer Club who demonstrates by example these fundamental meanings and beliefs. The recipient of the Cornerstone Trophy is an exceptional humble, human being who demonstrates and teaches by example life's lessons, setting high standards, strong ethics, great values and solid beliefs in doing the right thing in life. All of our children, young or old, benefit from the lessons taught by the recipient of this award."
Congratulations to you all – and to every player in the Heat Competitive Program, you are all winners!
Due to the age matrix changes this year we faced many challenges with our younger tryouts. But we were not alone as every other club in the US faced the same scenario.
Quite a few emotions came into play as many existing teams were literally split in half, one half moving older and the other half staying the same. In some instances, where some players were playing up two years, it actually split the team into three. This in itself scattered already experienced players to different teams, where it then became tough to name an A and a B team. In some cases we had many players of one birth year and in others we had very few. Some players were equipped to play up one year, but very rarely two years. A player playing up two years had to have exceptional skills and be physically able.
We were well prepared however, with coaches in place for as many teams as we projected, and our goal was to find a team for as many players as we possibly could. This was a lot of work.
The attendance for tryouts was excellent as word is obviously spreading about the kind of experience that players are enjoying at FC Heat, and that plus the exorbitant costs at the bigger clubs are sending many more new players to home based clubs like ours.
New coaches were allocated teams and experienced coaches were moved around in order to strengthen certain areas. This was mainly a result of coaches' evaluations, which you the parents were part of. This is part of fine tuning an already successful coaching model. 32 teams were built or are being built in the younger age groups, which does not include our older teams.
Many questions were asked by parents who did not quite understand the reasons for the new age matrix (this is why we wrote a previous newsletter on this subject). Some thought that teams had to be totally age pure with no players playing up, while others wondered why their children could not play with their friends as they have done so over the past few years, irrespective of their ages. Many parents would only have their child play for a certain coach and not another, which again spread the talent among different teams. You can only imagine the challenges we faced by trying to please the majority.
In any case, FC Heat is in good shape and ahead of the game this early in the year. 32 teams were built or are being built in the younger age groups. Our teams were strong last year, but I think they will be even stronger this year. As mentioned, this does not include our older teams, as those tryouts will be in March when our high schools have finished their seasons. Please stay tuned to our Website for the dates of the older tryouts, which will be posted soon.
With tryouts being so early this year, it is possible that your child may have missed them. If this is the case then below is a list of our younger teams that are still looking for players. Just e-mail the coach and have your child join their practice as a tryout. We have plenty of time before our season starts.
Girls 2008 – James Griffen
Girls 2005 – Hector Hernandez
Boys 2008 – Sebastian Oros
Boys 2005 – Denis Sweeney and Robert Jeffers
Boys 2004 – Bryan Wilkes and James Griffen
Boys 2003 – Bryan Wilkes
Boys 2002 – Alvaro Melgoza
One of our own needs your help…
Jacob George played recreational soccer this last season for Coach Mark Memmelaar's Empire team. He played for the BU12 bracket even though he is only 10-years-old.
Mark said this about Jacob, "He played goalie and forward. He didn't love playing goalie, but he was good at it and always willing to do so if asked. And that was a big part of this team's success last season. Jacob still managed to score 2 goals in his times as a forward. He is quiet but fearless and deceptively strong. A really friendly kid and always happy."
Thank goodness Jacob is fearless and strong, because on January 20, 2016 he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Obviously he and his family were taken by surprise, but while all are still in shock, they continue to fight this enemy head on.
Well Jacob, we have your back!

Danelec Marine receives type approval for New-Generation ECDIS ProductsIT and Communications, Marine Equipment Products and Services, Technology — By admin on January 23, 2017 at 4:54 PM

Breaking news and expert analysis on legal and compliance issues
From Banking and Finance Law Daily, January 11, 2017
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Expressions Hair Design v. Schneiderman about whether a New York law that prohibits the imposition of surcharges on customers who use credit cards but allows discounts for customers who use cash is an unconstitutional abridgment of the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech.
In the underlying case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held that New York's credit card "no surcharge" law does not violate the First Amendment because it is directed more toward price regulation and conduct than toward "speech" and does not regulate speech as applied to "single-sticker-price" sellers (see Banking and Finance Law Daily, Dec. 15, 2015, and Sept. 29, 2016).
New York law. Among other things, New York's credit card "no surcharge" law (N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law Article 29-A, §518) provides that "[n]o seller in any sales transaction may impose a surcharge on a holder who elects to use a credit card in lieu of payment by cash, check, or similar means."
Petitioners. At the outset of the oral argument, on behalf of the petitioning New York merchants who are challenging the state law, attorney Deepak Gupta clarified that one of the merchants has engaged in dual pricing—charging two different prices: one price for cash and another price for credit. That merchant focuses on communicating the cash discount to comply with New York's "no surcharge" law, Gupta related. The other merchants have refrained from dual pricing altogether because they don't want to run the risk of "failing to comply with this regime."
"As applied" challenge. During questioning by the Justices, Gupta emphasized that the merchants "want to engage in truthful speech. They want to disclose more." However, some of the Justices questioned the anchor for the constitutional challenge, given the language of the New York law. For instance, Justice Breyer maintained that the statute states only that a merchant "can't charge a surcharge" for credit and is silent about any cash discount. Similarly, Justice Sotomayor commented, "I just don't see anything about speech in the statute." Further, Justice Alito indicated he was not entirely comfortable about ruling on the state law's constitutionality without knowing how New York's highest court would interpret the statute.
In response, Gupta emphasized that the merchants were raising an "as applied" constitutional challenge, which focuses on how the law has been applied and on the way the law has been enforced by New York officials. He also noted that the state law provides a criminal penalty for its violation.
In response to Justice Breyer's comment that the state law appeared to be "a form of price regulation," Gupta asserted that New York officials told various merchants that they didn't need to change what they charged but needed to change what they said. According to Gupta, "that's not price regulation. That's the regulation of how prices are communicated." Justice Kagan remarked that Gupta's stance placed a lot of emphasis "on a few cases in which prosecutors describe the law in a certain way," but that the New York law, "as written, doesn't really do any of the things that you're saying."
Assistant Solicitor General. Next, Eric Feigin, Assistant to the Solicitor General, spoke as amicus curiae on behalf of the United States. Feigin suggested that the Court should analyze the case by consulting precedents on "speech regulation." Justice Sotomayor asked Feigin to walk through several hypothetical scenarios in which the state law would or would not likely be violated, and the Justices commented and queried accordingly.
Feigin suggested that the Court use the former federal law on credit card surcharges as a makeshift "baseline" for discussing the issue. Notably, Feigin ultimately recommended that the Court remand the case to the Second Circuit "and allow for the New York Court of Appeals to have a definitive interpretation of the law, because there's clearly some dispute about what the New York law does."
Price regulation. On behalf of the Attorney General of New York, Steven Wu, Deputy Solicitor General of New York, argued that the "plain text of New York's statute refers only to a pricing practice and not to any speech."
In an exchange with Wu, Justice Alito expressed his concern about the fact that individual attorneys general or district attorneys in New York could arrive at different interpretations of the New York law prohibiting surcharges. In addition, Justice Kagan remarked that New York's "enforcement history" of the state law appeared to be at odds with Wu's argument that as long as a merchant's listed price is the credit card price, the merchant's cashier "can call it whatever she wants."
In response to Wu's statement that the case involved "direct price regulation" that was not subject to First Amendment scrutiny, Justice Ginsburg commented that the New York law "doesn't set any price at all. It lets the merchant set the price. And the question is how that price is described."
After further questioning by the Justices about hypothetical pricing scenarios and how the state law would be engaged in those scenarios, Justice Kennedy wondered whether these "complicated" pricing schemes might support the notion that the New York law is too vague. Wu disagreed, contending that the state law would withstand a "vagueness" challenge under the Due Process Clause.
In an exchange with Justice Kagan, Wu indicated that a "dual pricing scheme" would be legal under the state statute. Kagan noted that the Second Circuit had "abstained" from deciding that issue.
Rebuttal. In his rebuttal, Gupta underscored that the case involved a "criminal speech restriction." According to Gupta, while a typical governmental "disclosure regime" tells a merchant "precisely what to say," serious constitutional issues arise in the New York law's situation because the governmental disclosure regime "does not tell the merchant precisely what to say." Further, Gupta queried whether the cost of credit card usage was being suppressed as part of the law's mix.
The Docket is No. 15-1391.

Jay: Hi Jonathan, I want to title this video True Confessions. It has been almost two months since I sent you a video and I just realized this morning that the last video I sent you was the morning before Ripley died, Ripley who was our beloved chocolate lab of 12 years, such a big part of our family and since that time I will tell you, I have struggled with just kind of getting my head back in a place where it was before. It really hit me a lot harder than I realized and that's one of those things that anybody who had a weight problem in their life deals with emotional eating and for me I was always a secret eater. So, that's kind of the bad news.
The good news is that after it's been almost two months, I kind of feel like I have got my wind back, we definitely still miss Ripley deeply, but I think that I finally got my head back in line and during that time, I had a hard time exercising, but I still was able to go out and do it. My eating definitely did not go to where I wanted it to be. There was times that I kind of fell off track. I didn't really get into any secret eating, but I just kind of like [indiscernible 00:00] maybe it was morning.
So, I just wanted to kind of clear the air and let you know that I put weight back on, I have not been eating as SANEly as I should have, definitely my clothes are tighter than they were before. I have actually taken some pictures and things to document that for myself and I would share them with people, but it could be scary, but I am a big believer in making sure that you can share things with your circle of influence. So, I have kind of [indiscernible 00:00] that to my family and friends to let people know about it. So, that's my true confession, the fact that there comes a time and place where you kind of need to come out from under a rock and go back to the things that work for you well.
So, I wanted you to know that I am going back to the book. I am going back to the workbook. I am going to also start making sure that I share once a week my weight with people because I know that was something that was very helpful for me overall. I do have some really good news though. I reached out to Derek Johnson of New Metabolism who is the person introduced me to your book in the first place and I got my labs done and ironically because I was eating SANE, believe it or not, even during — may not the best, but overall pretty SANE in the past — ever since I started your program, which is while ago, I found out that because of that when my labs came back, it's not that I don't need to improve upon things, but I got an A-.
Basically, Derek said that my blood work is pretty much at an A- level. Yes, I need to just lose weight, but I am eating well and my health is in great shape. So, the good news is that your program has helped me in terms of making sure that I am eating better than I used to in the past. I am starting to transition better after Biggest Loser in terms of living the rest of my life as the best of my life.
So, that's the good news. I am back on track, I am out from under a rock and I am hoping that my clarity, honesty, and accountability will be able to help people realize that sometimes no matter where you are at, you got to start some place and the best thing is to let people know that you are ready to go out there and get yourself back on track. So, that's the latest. I love to hear your thoughts on that and I will talk to you soon.
Jonathan: Hey Jay, as you know, I am terribly sorry to hear about Ripley. I grew up with a black lab. It was like a sibling to me and I know how hard it was when Silver passed. So, my deepest sympathies to you and Jennifer and the rest of the family, but I am very, very encouraged to hear that you are back on track and in fact, that your SANE eating over the past year has led a metabolic framework. Those are going to set you up for a long-term success because as we have talked about a healthy body, which you are developing, seeks out slimness and seeks out fitness because that is our natural state.
So, step one is to heal the body and then step two is the body takes care of everything else and that's a really profound mindset change because it accounts for and forgives us. If we do sometimes go off the ranch a little bit because again think about it like a healthy immune system. If we have a healthy immune system and happen to go off the ranch and get a cold, that's all right, our healthy immune system will get us back to health, but if our immune system itself is broken down, that's when we are really in bad shape. So, eating SANE foods or exercising intelligently, we are healing ourselves first.
Secondarily, the weight comes off and the other thing I would like to mention and I am happy that you are not beating yourself up too much for this emotional eating. We hear so much about this, but the reality is that we all emotionally eat all the time. I say this because unless we were to eat unflavored goop at every meal, we always use our emotions to identify foods that we enjoy and the foods we eat.
So, the key though is to recalibrate our taste buds and to recalibrate our emotions to simply focus on SANE delicious foods of which there are many. So, it is not about not eating food or even feeling bad when we do eat food or maybe even eat too much of that food. The key is when we do eat food, to eat the right kinds of food and in doing so to heal our body so that if we overdo it on occasion, our body just naturally rebounce as we saw in studies in the Smarter Science of Slim where people would overeat, but never gain the amount of weight expected by traditional calorie math because they were hormonally healed.
So, again, it's all about that food quality about healing ourselves first and when we do that, even if we experience bumps in the road; first, they won't be big bumps because there will be bumps eating the right kinds of food and two, even if we do go completely off the ranch, we will have that healthy metabolic immune system to bring us back to normal easily.
So, all of my congratulations to you on developing that healthy body. It sounds like you are back on track and also my kudos to you for what is unquestionably a healthy mind because the clarity and the accountability that you are bringing to this are just phenomenal and inspirational. So, glad to have you back Jay.


text: Well all you clam diggers: did you run the race? It was warm yesterday (for a change), as least at the finish line at the Crossroads. Local (regional) guy won it. For you who haven't (and maybe never will) run the course, it's starts in Big Sur at the 26.2 mile mark and it's a straight run north until you hit the finish line. Plenty of hills and a cool ocean breeze to contend with. If you like running a shorter course, there's a relay, and a 10.6 mile course which starts around Rocky Point. Looked like everyone was having a good time. Congratulations to all the participants and supporters.

Teetotal for a year: why waking up to low and no is the trade's biggest challenge
Asda has come under fire for selling cans of lager that are cheaper than the price of a bottle of water.
Asda has come under fire for selling cans of lager that are cheaper than the price of a bottle of water.
The supermarket giant is selling four packs of 440ml Skol lager for 90p, which works out at 51p a litre.
The deal on the cans makes it cheaper to buy than bottles water. A four pack of 750ml bottles of Evian water costs £2.91, which works out at 97p a litre.
Alcohol Concern has criticised the deal, saying that the low price will encourage young people and heavy drinkers to binge drink.
In a statement, Asda said: "We believe that all our customers deserve value across the whole of the store whether it's on lager, a loaf of bread or a litre of petrol.
"We take our role as a responsible retailer very seriously; we have already banned the sale of alcohol in our town centre stores overnight, have stopped selling certain alcopops and shooters that appeal to young people and have doubled the number of test purchases carried out in our stores.
"As we've said in the past, we believe a ban on promotions and the introduction of minimum pricing will simply create incentives for black markets."

Today I'm so happy to introduce you to my newest contributor, Morgan from Morganize with Me. You can learn all about Morgan right HERE. Please join me in giving Morgan a big welcome!
As a blessed momma to two daughters, one 14 and one eight, I know first hand that girls come with lots of itty bitty little things that can really stump a parent when it comes to organizing! So today I'm sharing with you "Five Organizing Tips" that specifically help to organize girl spaces. Whether you have a teen, pre-teen, grade-schooler or preschooler, you will find that these easy to implement organizing tips can transform a little (or big) girl's space.
No. 1 – Match Hangers
Does this make a room more organized? Not technically, but it will make things look more streamlined and that moves you closer to being more organized. It's an easy organizing step! I use pink hangers for my daughters and blue hangers for my son. (This also makes it easy to know who's hangers belong to whom.)
No. 2 – Utilize Baskets
Baskets are an organizer's assistant! I use them to categorize, separate and designate where items belong.
I know you don't need me to say, "A place for everything and everything…"
No. 3 – Create a Display
Design an area for displaying artwork, cards, pictures, memories, awards etc. In our home about once a quarter we take a few minutes to clean up the display boards and then add their special items (the keepers) to their memory boxes.
The magnetic boards I purchased from IKEA and the blue colored square bulletin boards were a little DIY.
No. 4 – Hang Hooks
Like I said, girls come with lots of little things. Little things like earrings, bracelets, necklaces… So I use these lovely little hooks (Command Wire Hooks, 9-Hook) and slap them up wherever I need a spot to organize and categorize. I also put them on the back of doors to make a quick coat rack. (Kids are better at organizing when the clean up is simple and right in front on them.)
I also should highlight the stuffed animal catch-all in the closet, also from IKEA. #lifesaver
This is another fabulous solution that I discovered and use for my eldest daughter. She is able to easily keep her small jewelry items organized in this see-through organizer.
No. 5 – Design a Beauty Station
Whether or not your children have to share a bathroom, it is a good idea to also set up a "Beauty Station" within your daughter's bedroom. This will allow her to spread out in privacy without having to share counter space.
The baskets (of course I used baskets) make a great spot for tucking away the hair appliances. For both of my daughters they mostly get ready in their rooms and only use the bathroom for teeth brushing and showering.
This last shot is a re-purposed cup holder. It makes for a great larger jewelry display. When organizing, always look for ways to re-purpose items around your home. Shop your own home first!
Your turn…what tips do you have for keeping up with a girl's space, in an organized fashion? I'd love to hear!
Happy Organizing!!!
Morgan is the energetic and motivated, but also realistic girl, behind Morganize with Me. She is a list lover, fitness fan and chaos controller! Her mission is to share tried and true techniques that she hopes will encourage her readers and clients as they focus on their health and homes.

And as imagination bodies forth, the forms of things unknown, the poet's pen ... turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing a local habitation and a name."– William ShakespeareRebecca's vivid imagination, sometimes wild and full of adventure, takes over when she sits down to write fiction. Her characters most times reflect her own life experiences, coupled with her travels around the world: England, France, Belgium, Russia, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, to name a few of her favorites. She can't help letting a few pieces of her own life come into play in her stories, but she successfully reshapes the embodiment to fit her CONTEMPORARY ROMANTIC SUSPENSE and WOMEN'S FICTION novels.For instance: people she meets and observes, places she sees, along with the heartbreak, the sadness, the tragedy, the pain ... and on the flip side ... the happiness, romance, travel, the ultimate feelings of euphoria ... it all culminates and combines in her heart and mind before it hits her fiction desk and is assigned to a character. Rebecca loves developing characters. Portraying a clear picture of each character in her mind and what sets them apart from each other is a regular process for Ms. Buckley. Then comes the story, setting, and the drama that is transported to the reader in the form of a book. From her heart to your eyes.

Two Unforgettable Books
Shahabnama by Qudratullah Shahab is undoubtedly one of the unique books in the Urdu literature. It is a bestseller autobiography that has never gone out of print since its release in the late 80s.
The books discusses at length the pre-partition era, the post-partition Pakistan, details about the growing influence of military and bureaucracy in the mainstream politics. It is a mammoth book but it has been written in such interesting and simple style that the reader cruises through it. I read it 6-7 years ago and once I started I couldn't put it down until I finished in a few days. The book's most surreal and debatable chapter (other than the haunted house) is where Shahab claims to have been in touch with a mysterious mystical figure codenamed Ninety. Ninety, according to Shahab, provided him the spiritual guidance. Shahab also expressed his deep respect and affiliation with Silsila-i-Owaisia. So the readers get the ample dose of Sufism too which appealed to many people.
Mumtaz Mufti, Shahab's close friend shed more light on Shahab's spiritual facet in the second part of his autobiography 'Alakh Nagri'. In his words: In the first half of his life he discovered women and in the second half Qudratullah Shahab.
One interesting fact is that Shahab's autobiography was published posthumously so no one could question him but there are several books available in the market that rebut all his and Mumtaz Mufti's claims about Shahab's spiritual personality.
Call it a reality or a fictionalized fact, the truth is that 'Shahabnama' exhibits the writing prowess of the author. It's been one of my favorite books of Urdu literature. I, like many people, will always be in search of truth. I am neutral about his claims of spirituality.
I had once written a post about Manto as to how just by sheer chance I stumbled upon Mantorama in the library of my college. Manto's personal life has nothing special to write about. He was apparently an ordinary married man with three daughters, got sued many times for obscenity. He was a short story writer, scriptwriter and a journalist. He died of excessive drinking in 1955 at the age of 42. In 2005, fifty years after his death, he was commemorated on the postal stamp.
It is indeed Manto's larger than life work that has kept his name alive. Manto in my view is the best thing to have happened to the contemporary Urdu literature. His work carries strange depth, bitterness, indifference and melancholy. His work was termed as lewd which is neither true nor false; it all depends upon the reader's perception and sensitivities.
When I had first read his certain stories – I had taken a slight offence. It was perhaps I was reading him with my elder's eyes – who had detested him. But later on when my thinking reached certain level of maturity, I realized the class of Manto. It is difficult to name his best stories because each one is a gem but usually the following of his stories always receive special
1) Toba Tek Singh
2) Mozalle
3) Naya Qanoon
4) Khol Do
Mantorama is the collection of all his short stories, novelettes etc.
September 25, 2009 2:53 pm
i think u havent yet read other books that's why u may be saying that these are the unforgettable!
but really i agree that one of them is mine choice too..!
September 26, 2009 1:59 am
i m also suffering from this problem hehe, when i take such books to read, a JIN comes infront of me and says, 'Pehle MBBS ki Books to Niptalay'.
September 30, 2009 6:53 am
Excellent share…Very Nice Post(Y)
Would like to read your detailed posts on
1) Toba Tek Singh
2) Mozalle
3) Naya Qanoon
4) Khol Do
in b/w i am also wondering about shahab mystical codenamed Ninety, may be one of the political organizations in Pak got inspired and they named thier headquarters with that;)
laila khan permalinkFebruary 9, 2010 2:35 am
i jus start readin shahabnama n m lovin it….its one of an awesome book…:) no doubt we got talented ppl..
adeel arif khan permalinkAugust 9, 2011 5:06 am
i think ayesha is absolutly right. her remarks about shahab nama having depth of thought and containing well inside view. i had read shahab nama several times. it is a milestone in pakistani political history.
April 26, 2012 3:57 pm
Brilliant post. I haven't read Shahabnama yet, but I plan to.
Manto was a visionary, in my opinion. What he wrote was misunderstood, and taken out of context. His writings were taken out of proportion and then used against him. What he wrote then, is more relevant in this era. A genius, who was thrashed around. Had he been born in West, he would have become a legend. Sadly, he found himself in a hypocrite society.
Well done, again. Loved the post 🙂

Wolverines win 2018 'Duel in the D' game at Little Caesars Arena
By @MichaelCaples –
DETROIT – On Friday, the Wolverines and Spartans needed a shootout to decide a winner.
That wasn't the case tonight at Little Caesars Arena.
It was the Wolverines prevailing in the annual 'Duel in the D' rivalry game in Detroit between the two storied hockey programs – the first of its kind at the new home of the Red Wings.
Cooper Marody, Jack Becker and Quinn Hughes scored for the Wolverines to lead Michigan to a 3-2 'Iron D Trophy' win, while Hayden Lavigne recorded a 32-save win between the pipes.
"I think both teams really wanted to win, the crowd was really into tonight," Hughes said after the game. "Obviously Michigan, Michigan State, we don't really like each other too much, so as the game was going on, it was getting heavier and faster. It was a good win for us, we're lucky we came out of it and we're really happy."
The biggest save of the game, however, came from Joe Cecconi with 2:21 remaining in the third period. The Wolverines defenseman stopped a shot from MSU's Cody Milan that had gotten past Lavigne; video review confirmed that Cecconi kept the puck from crossing the goal line.
"It might be, yeah," Cecconi said when asked if it was the best save of his career. "I've had maybe one or two of those but that was probably the best one."
Taro Hirose and David Keefer scored for the Spartans, while Johnny Lethemon made 30 saves in the loss.
With the win, the Wolverines finish 3-1-1 against their in-state rivals from Michigan State.
Hughes' goal at the 14:06 mark of the third period turned out to be the game-winner after initially giving the Wolverines a 3-1 lead. It was his second highlight-reel goal in as many nights, after his Friday night strike made the SportsCenter Top 10 plays list.
For his Saturday goal, he collected a pass from Cecconi and put a toe-drag fake on Lethemon before sliding the puck through his pads. It was his third goal of the season.
"Sometimes it just goes in bunches for me," said Hughes, a USA Hockey's NTDP alum projected to be a top pick in the 2018 NHL Draft. "Obviously I was frustrated with not having scored in a while, but, things happen, and I was lucky I got a couple of goals this weekend."
Tonight, @umichhockey recorded a 3-2 win over their in-state rivals…in front of 19,000+ at @LCArena_Detroit.#DuelintheD

The win over the Spartans wasn't good just for state bragging rights; it was also crucial for the Big Ten standings. The Wolverines are battling for home ice in the first round of the conference tournament, and they're now four points ahead of fourth-place Wisconsin, and five behind second-place Ohio State with two conference games (against No. 1 Notre Dame) left on the schedule. The Fighting Irish have secured a Big Ten regular-season title already.
"Huge," coach Mel Pearson said of the points earned on the weekend – five out of a possible six. "You can't say it enough. We want home ice in the playoffs. We were picked to finish 6th in the conference, and we have something to prove. We have two games left to prove it, and we will be ready. I know Notre Dame will be ready. We had two good games with them and we will look forward to it. We will get to work starting tomorrow."

Holly can speak about numerous topics, including: street harassment, sexual harassment in schools, campus sexual harassment or assault, sexual assault in the military, as well as her career path and how she published a book.
She regularly speaks about these topics on college campuses, at high schools, to community groups, and at bookstores or libraries.
Her speaker fee is negotiable. If the location is outside of the Washington, D.C. area, travel expenses must be covered. If the location is more than a four hour drive away from the Washington, D.C. area, lodging must also be included. Contact her at hollykearl AT yahoo DOT com.
Holly wrote her master's thesis on street harassment in 2007 and a book in 2010. Since 2008, she's run the Stop Street Harassment blog and collected stories and tracked activism from all over the world.
Her new book Stop Global Street Harassment: Growing Activism Around the World is out Aug. 30, 2015. Here is information specific to talks she can give relating to the book and its scope.
Three other suggestions for the event format include: 1) a two-hour interactive workshop, 2) an hour lecture with Q&A, and 3) a panel that includes Holly, a local person who shares her street harassment stories, and a local activist who talks about local anti-street harassment efforts and how people can become involved (for example, individuals may be from a men's anti-violence group, local HollaBack, local rape crisis or self defense group).
Holly can create a custom talk to meet the needs and interests of the audience. Topics she can cover include:
- Defining street harassment
- The prevalence and the global scope of street harassment
- Why street harassment is not a compliment/why men who harass do so
- What street harassment plus racism or homophobia looks like (intersections of oppression)
- How the line of acceptable stranger interactions can vary by person and how to navigate that complexity
- The impact street harassment has on people's lives
- Why street harassment is a human rights issue
- Assertive ways to respond to harassers, be they your own or those you see as a bystander (this section can include role playing assertive responses to street harassers)
- Ideas for mentoring young women and young men about these issues
- The importance of male allies and how all men can help end street harassment
- Creative ideas for activism, raising awareness, and creating change
- Examples of successful anti-street harassment campaigns
- Street harassment activism in history
- Global campaigns to stop street harassment
For audiences already informed about street harassment, Holly can focus on brainstorming concrete action they can take in their community to address specific problems of street harassment.
Sexual Harassment in Schools:
In 2011, Holly co-authored a national study on sexual harassment in grades 7-12. She is available to give a talk that covers the key findings of the report (such as prevalence, the impact it has on students, and why students harass each other), as well as the "promising practices" of what administrators, teachers, parents/family members, students, and community groups can do to address this issue in schools.
Her talk can also emphasize the importance of Title IX compliance as well as the differences and similarities between bullying and sexual harassment.
Campus Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault:
Holly's expertise on this topic began her sophmore year of college when she and a friend surveyed 10 percent of their student body to find out how prevalent rape was on campus and if people knew what to do if they or someone they knew was raped. The findings showed that by senior year, nearly everyone knew at least one person who had been raped, yet students of all grade levels had almost no idea what to do. Holly and her friend presented suggestions to the Dean of Student Life, who implemented them the following school year.
For several years while employed full-time at AAUW, Holly worked on projects that addressed sexual harassment and sexual assault and she can speak about: 1) its prevalence; 2) student's rights; 3) activism ideas; 4) schools' responsibilities; and 5) ideas for reducing sexual harassment and assault on college campuses.
Military Sexual Assault:
Sexual assault in the military is a rampant problem! Since 2011, Holly has worked on this issue by helping veteran survivors suing the military, serving as a social media volunteer for The Invisible War and speaking at numerous screenings of the film, and attending and writing about military sexual assault hearings in Congress.
She can speak about the prevalence of sexual assault in the military, what makes sexual assault in the military unique compared to sexual assault in other institutions, and what initiatives are underway to change it (lawsuits, legislation, and awareness-raising campaigns).
Holly is happy to talk with and offer advice to Women's Studies students or other groups of students, interns, and young professionals about her career path. She can cover the steps and choices that took her from a college graduate in 2005 to a nonprofit professional at a respected national women's organization, author, and national street harassment expert.
The format that works best is a group discussion, although she can do a lecture style format for a larger audience.
Holly can cover the steps involved in getting a non-fiction book published. After going through the Op-Ed Project training in early 2010, Holly has had many op-eds published and can also talk about the importance of writing op-eds and the process involved to have one published.
The format that works best is a group discussion, although she can do a lecture style format for a larger audience.

Learning how to put on makeup like a pro can't be any easier than now with the proliferation of how to's and tutorials online. Indeed being beautiful has become not just an obsession among smart women but has become an integral part of looking polished and professional especially for working women.

One of our most southerly developments in Scotland is Barony Gate in Lochmaben.
Built three years ago by Taylor Wimpey, it comprises 79 households.
Its main street Vendace Drive is actually named after Britain's rarest freshwater fish, the Vendace.
This beauty is only found in a handful of locations – including the adjacent Mill Loch!
Staked and tied trees are scattered throughout Barony Gate's central amenity section, where the well appointed Play Area is also located.
A screening strip of woodland edge mix along the residents' fences is establishing well and is bordered by beautiful Beech hedging.
There is an access road down to the SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage System) basin, where catchment water from the development can settle before flowing out into the loch.
Between this path and the adjacent agricultural field is feature Hawthorn hedging, which is establishing well and breaks up the transition from amenity grass to meadow, as seen to the left in the photograph below.
We've now undertaken our second amenity visit of the summer and the green spaces are looking in tip top condition.
To ensure Barony Gate continues to look its best throughout the season, a selective herbicide is applied to the amenity grass areas in May/June.
Also known as a 'weed and feed', in addition to removing the non-grass species, such as Clover, Daisy and Dandelion, some fertiliser is included in order to promote lush green growth.
After all, what would summer be without blue skies and green grass?
You can find out more about Barony Gate and the surrounding area in this helpful video.
