Freedom of belief and religion in Macau is protected by a constitutional document called the Macau Basic Law. There is no state religion in Macau.
The Macau government allows freedom of religion and the residents of Macau have the right to practice a religion of their choice. Based on Article 3:34 of the Macau Basic Law: "The people in Macau are free to participate in religious activities and to preach as they wish." In Article 3:120: "The Macau Special Administrative Region embraces the principle of freedom of religion and belief; the government will not interfere in the internal workings of a religious body or organization and the believers are free to maintain ties and to develop relationships with overseas religious organizations outside Macau." Religious organizations can found religious colleges or other schools, hospitals and welfare organizations in accordance with the law. Schools operated by religious institutions can teach their religion. Religious organizations have the right to use, handle, inherit and obtain financial contributions in accordance with the law. Their right to wealth is protected by the law.
When compared with Hong Kong, Macau's religious makeup is far less diverse. Most of its believers are Buddhist, comprising more than three-quarters of the population in 2006. Former Portuguese administration of the territory has established Roman Catholicism as one of the main religions in Macau, although Protestant Christianity is also represented. The Bahá'í Faith in 1988 established a teaching institution for 250 students, comprising a kindergarten, primary school, and secondary school and there are about 400 Muslims in Macau, worshipping at one mosque.[1]
Centuries of Portuguese influence has given the Catholic Church a prominent place in Macau's various charity organizations and social welfare work. However, recent reports suggest that Roman Catholicism is in decline in Macau; aided, perhaps, by the territory's booming gambling industry.[2]
The various religious communities maintain peaceful relationships with one another. The Macanese people are generally tolerant of other religious views and practices and public ceremonies and dedications often include prayers led by both Christian and Buddhist groups.
Protection by the Basic Law[edit]
The Basic Law of Macau provides for a freedom of conscience, freedom of religious belief, freedom to preach and the freedom to conduct, and participate in, religious activities. Mainland China does not govern religious practices in Macau. The Basic Law states that the government of the Macau Special Administrative Region, in accordance with its principle of religious freedom, will not interfere in the internal affairs of any religious organization nor in the efforts of that organization and its believers to maintain and develop relations with counterparts outside Macau, nor in any way restrict religious activity which does not contravene the laws of the Region.
A Freedom of Religion ordinance requires religious organizations to register with Macau's Identification Services Office. This ordinance, which was in place before the handover and has remained in effect subsequently, provides for freedom of religion, privacy of religious belief, freedom of religious assembly, freedom to hold religious processions and the freedom to organize religious education. It also stipulates that religious groups may maintain and develop relations with religious groups abroad. There have been no reports of discrimination in the registration process.
Traditional beliefs[edit]
The majority of people who live in Macau are ethnic Chinese, who traditionally follow a version of Mahayana Buddhism syncretized with Confucianism and Taoism often called the Triple religion.
Buddhism is the largest religion in Macau, with about 90% of the population professing the religion. It is the fastest growing religion in Macau. Buddhism has influenced much of Macau's traditional culture.[3]
The culture of Macau is influenced by Chinese Confucianism and its associated values and morality. In 1909, the Macau Confucianism organization was created. The organization was at first an offshoot of the Beijing Confucianism organization, but later gained independence. The purpose of the Macau Confucianism organization is to "respect the principles of Confucianism, to spread the holy virtue, provide education for those with aptitude and promote the culture." To this end, in 1913 the Organization started a small school in Macau. In 1960, the organization printed a selection of the sayings of Confucius for use in secondary schools. It has collected about 74 sayings from the Analects of Confucius, Mencius (Book) and other Confucianist classics, in order to help students to memorize and recite them.
On the birthday of Confucius, which is celebrated on 27 August of the lunar calendar, the organization holds a ceremony of commemoration and sacrifice at which school students are invited to take part.
Taoism was first introduced to Macau in the third century. Elements of it have since largely been practiced alongside Buddhism.[3]
Roman Catholic Church[edit]
Catholicism is a lasting legacy of the Portuguese colonial control of Macau. 36,500 children are enrolled in Catholic schools.[citation needed]
The Catholic Church in Macau is organized through the Diocese of Macau, which follows the Roman (or Latin) Rite. This Catholic diocese was established on 23 January 1576 by Pope Gregory XIII, and is currently limited in extent to the territory of the Special Administrative Region (MSAR) of the People's Republic of China. Since 2003, Bishop José Lai Hung-Seng has been at the head of this corner of the Holy See. Unlike mainland China, the communist authorities in Beijing do not directly interfere with the Church in Macau.
Macau became a diocese of the Catholic Church in the sixteenth century, after the arrival of the Portuguese. At its foundation, the Diocese of Macau was given a wide jurisdiction over various ecclesiastical territories in the Far East, such as China, Japan, Vietnam and Malaysia (but not the Philippines). It became a major training and departure point for Catholic missionaries to different countries in Asia. To further strengthen this role, a college was founded in São Paulo in the sixteenth century, the first Western college in Asia for the training of missionaries. In the eighteenth century, the Seminary of St. Joseph was also established to train missionaries and priests.
According to the Pontifical Yearbook 2004, there were about 18,000 practicing Catholics in Macau in that year (representing about 4% of the total population), 24 secular priests, 52 religious priests (members of religious orders), 62 brothers and 183 sisters in the territory.
According to government statistics, Catholics in Macau, in 2005, numbered about 27,000 thousand (about 5.6% of the total population) and most of them were members of the Chinese community, with some Portuguese, people of the Eurasian community with Portuguese descent and thousands of other foreigners, including many Filipinos. There has been a progressive decline in the use of the Portuguese language in the liturgy and increasingly, mass and other sacraments are celebrated in other languages. Recent government surveys have indicated that Catholicism is declining among Macau's population.[4]
Although the Catholic Church is not the predominant religion in Macau, it continues to influence and engage in areas such as social work and education. The Diocese of Macau has six parishes and 24 social institutions, made up of eight daycare centres, six nursing homes for the elderly, five rehabilitation centres for the mentally and physically disabled and five children's homes. In the field of education, in the 2004/2005 school year, the Catholic Church taught in 31 schools, to over 36,000 students and over the years, a large number of influential non-Christians have received a Christian education. In addition, there is a Portuguese Catholic university, an educational institution of higher education known as the Inter-University Institute of Macau.
Among the important annual events are the Good Friday procession and the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima procession.
In 1807, the Reverend Dr Robert Morrison, the first Protestant missionary to China, landed at Macau. Morrison's main objective was to reach the Chinese living in Guangzhou and he started his missionary work there straight away. It was only later that he founded a Chinese Protestant church in Macau itself. Following the Opium War of 1842, the Qing Dynasty gave Hong Kong to the United Kingdom and most Protestant missionaries and British subjects who lived in Macau moved to Hong Kong. As most of the British were Protestants, the Macau Protestant population was reduced to only a handful for a long time. By the 20th century, some Chinese Protestants were meeting in people's homes. The most famous Chinese Christians to open their homes for meetings were Mr Lui De Shan and Dr Yu Mei De. With the support of churches in Hong Kong, Ji Dou Church was founded. This was the first Chinese Protestant church in Macau (its original name was Ji Dou Hall). It was registered with the Portuguese colonial government in 1905 and the church building was constructed at Hei Sha Huan. The Macau Baptist Church, the second Chinese Protestant church in Macau, was built soon after and following this, a number of Chinese Protestant churches were founded.
When the Victoria Diocese of the Anglican Communion was established in 1849, it included Macau as well as Hong Kong. When the Province of Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui was established in 1912, Macau was included with Hong Kong and Guangdong. In 1951, following the communist take over in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau left the Diocese and established the Sheng Kung Hui Diocese of Hong Kong and Macau. Following the end of the British administration of Hong Kong in 1997, in 1998 the Diocese was succeeded by the Province of Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui (commonly called the Hong Kong Anglican Church).
Today there are about 4,000 practicing Protestants in Macau with an average of just 50 people participating and worshipping in services at each church. Many churches in Macau were founded by different communities from Hong Kong and other countries, representing the Anglican Church, the Baptist Church and the Lutheran Church, but historically there was little cooperation between them. When the Union of Christian Evangelical Churches in Macau was founded in 1990, a new era of cooperation began. In 2006, the 7th Chinese Congress on World Evangelization was held in Macau, further inspiring the Protestant churches in Macau to unite.
Due to pressure in the past from the Portuguese colonial government and the Roman Catholic Church, Protestant churches were allowed to do only limited social, pastoral and educational work. They were also limited by poor funding and many Protestant schools were closed after the "3/12 movement", which reduced even further the role of the Protestant churches in education in Macau. There are only seven remaining Protestant primary and secondary schools in Macau. There are, however, some rehabilitation programmes run by Protestant organisations that receive government support. A Protestant counselling service was started by the Macau Chinese Christian Mission in 2005. Missionaries are free to conduct missionary activities and are active in Macau. Religious entities may use electronic media to preach.
Jehovah's Witnesses[edit]
Jehovah's Witnesses have been active in Macau since 1963.[5] Currently, there are over 300 ministers of Jehovah's Witnesses who teach the Bible in Macau.[6]
Other religions[edit]
Islam has been present in Macau since before the Ming Dynasty. Although the exact period and manner of its introduction is disputed, it is traditionally held that it was brought to the area by Arab and Persian traders. During World War II, a large number of ethnic Hui Muslims fled to Macau to escape the devastation in the rest of the country.
In 2007, Macau had one mosque and Muslim cemetery, the Macau Mosque and Cemetery, to serve the city's more than four hundred Muslims that associate under the name of "The Macau Islamic Society". This mosque was under renovation in the late months of 2007 and planned to double in size in order to provide a more modern mosque in the heart of Macau. Both Muslims and Roman Catholics sometimes choose to name one of their children Fatima, Omar or Soraya.
Macau was one of the areas chosen for the Bahá'í expansion plan known as the Ten Year Crusade. In 1953, Frances Heller, of California, USA, became the first Bahá'í in Macau. In 1954, Yan Peifeng became the first Macau resident to convert to the Bahá'í religion. In March 1964, Macau's Bahá'í population consisted of 30 people. On April 21, 1959 the first Local Spiritual Assembly was elected and by 1962 the religion had spread to the islands of Taipa and Coloane. In 1989, Macau formed its first National Spiritual Assembly. At the moment there are four Local Spiritual Assemblies with four hundred members in total, and are collectively known as the Macau Bahá'í Community.
Falun Gong practitioners can be found in Macau.[7] The practitioners exercise daily rituals in public parks.

From childhood it is said too have life you have to earn money but while earning all these we always think we have money but we can enjoy the life why it is so why people make them so busy in earning money so that they can enjoy their life is it necessary to focus that much on money and dont able to get a bit of enjoyment from the life ???

Oct 5 2012: Money is definitely a means for enjoying Life but not an END in itself. Today lot of Politicians, Power brokers, Big Industrialists have made lot of Money and kept in tax haven countries other than their Swiss Accounts. However, I believe that their Life is not enjoyable as much as a person who finds solace in what he / she is having.
One of my friend told me... IF ONE RUNS BEHIND MONEY, MONEY RUNS FASTER...
In such a race, one will meet an end in one's Life without enjoying Life.

analog monitorThe traditional type of color display screen that has been used for years in televisions. In reality, all monitors based on CRT technology (that is, all monitors except flat-panel displays) are analog. Some monitors, however, are called digital monitors because they accept digital signals from the video adapter. EGA monitors, for example, must be digital because the EGA standard specifies digital signals. Digital monitors must nevertheless translate the signals into an analog form before displaying images. Some monitors can accept both digital and analog signals. Some analog monitors are also called digital because they support digital controls for adjusting the display.
Most analog monitors are multifrequency monitors, which means that they are designed to accept signals at two or more preset frequency levels.

The Proficiency Delivery targets provide schools and districts with the annual progress needed to meet their 2017 Proficiency Delivery goals. The overall Proficiency Delivery targets and goals are created based on the combined percentage of students scoring proficient or higher in math and reading. Delivery targets and goals are provided for all schools, although state- and district-level progress is tracked only for students in grades K-8. Data in this table refer to the Kentucky Performance Rating for Educational Progress (K-PREP) tests, which can be found here.
School readiness means that each child enters school ready to engage in and benefit from early learning experiences that best promote the child's success, and every school will be ready and prepared for every child. Child readiness for school encompasses five developmental areas: approaches to learning; health and physical well-being; language and communication development; social and emotional development; and cognitive and general knowledge.
Theory of Action:
IF schools/districts and early childhood providers collaborate to ensure all children experience effective transitions from birth to school entry;
and if schools/districts appropriately assess all students with a common kindergarten entry assessment at school entry;
and if schools/districts and early childhood providers receive support through Leadership Networks;
then, more students enter kindergarten ready to learn and achieve proficiency in reading and math by 3rd grade.

Shady Grove Fertility in Rockville recently helped form Donor Egg Bank USA, a collaboration of more than 100 fertility specialists across the country. Limited access to eggs has been one of the obstacles to the use of frozen eggs. Sperm banks usually are well-stocked because men produce so much semen. Women, on the other hand, produce a limited number of eggs.
The collaboration gives women access to potential donors beyond the region where they live, opening the door for more procedures. The eggs can be shipped overnight.
"I think [frozen eggs] will eventually revolutionize the way egg donation happens in the future," said Heidi Hayes, CEO of Donor Bank USA. "It gives patients more options."
Michael Levy, director of IVF at Shady Grove Fertility, said women are told that the use of frozen eggs is new, but many women are comfortable with trying the procedure.
"I haven't had anyone say they don't want to do this because it is too new," Levy said. "It is tried and tested."
The use of frozen eggs raises ethical issues similar to those that have come up with fresh-egg donation and sperm banks. Some worry that poor women will sell their eggs for income. Others wonder about couples who choose certain characteristics for their baby.
The use of egg freezing among younger women also highlights concerns with the way America treats family issues in the workplace, Darnovsky said.
"There are social policies and workplace policies that should be addressed," she said. "Women are delaying motherhood because they need to get careers started. If we had workplaces that were more enabling and friendly, women and men who wanted to start families could."

Disability Accommodations
Thomas Jefferson University is committed to providing equal educational opportunities to all students, including students with disabilities. Under the law, a person with a disability is defined as an individual who (1) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities (2) has a history or record of such impairment, or (3) is regarded as having such impairment.
A student requesting accommodation for a disability must contact the Assistant Provost of Student Affairs (215-503-6335, 1123 Edison Building) and submit documentation of that disability. The documentation must:

- Include the names and scores of any specific testing or medical assessments used to make determinations.
- Include suggested educational accommodations.

e-book reader
A shortened form of electronic book reader, e-book readers are handheld computer devices like Amazon's Kindle, Barnes and Noble's NOOK and Apple's iPad that make it possible for books in digital form to be viewed and read by users. The technology for e-books and e-book readers has been available in more rudimentary form for more than twenty years, but the popularity of these devices didn't really take off until the Kindle's introduction in 2009 and the iPad's introduction in 2010.
While most E-Book Reader (also referred to as Ebook Reader) devices utilize monochrome matte displays to more closely replicate the visual look of reading a physical book, newer (and more expensive) e-book readers like the Kindle Fire and the NOOK Tablet utilize the more typical LCD screens found in notebook computers and tablets in order to provide additional functionality beyond just reading e-books such as Web browsing a viewing multimedia content.

Just like its store-bought cousins, this mesmerizing homemade lava lamp relies on a simple scientific fact: oil and water don't mix. When you pour both into a bottle, the denser water sinks to the bottom, leaving the oil on top. A store-bought lamp uses heat to propel the water up through the oil, but here the fizz from an antacid tablet triggers the frenetic action. The carbon dioxide bubbles shoot globules of colored water upward, and the globules drift back to the bottom as the bubbles disperse.
Fill the bottle just over halfway with the oil, then add water, to an inch from the top. Add 10 drops of food coloring.
Place the bottle on the pie pan to catch potential spills. Cut or break an antacid tablet in quarters and drop one quarter into the bottle. When the bubbling slows, add another quarter-tablet to get it started again. (Adding too many tablets at once will cloud the oil with bubbles.)
To store the lamp, let the bottle sit until all the bubbles have completely dispersed. This prevents the buildup of gas in the bottle. Cap it and put it in a safe place to prevent spills.

The man who raised Adrian Peterson's 2-year-old son says he's sick and tired of people feeling sorry for the NFL star, claiming AP didn't care about the boy because he never got the chance to meet him.
We broke the story, AP only learned he was the biological dad a few months ago. Before the revelation, the child's mother was under the impression that the father was a man named Bobby Ruffin.
After the child passed away on Friday, Bobby went to his Facebook page and unloaded ... writing, "So tired of this poor Adrian Peterson sh*t. Let me blow all your minds. The boy who died was my son."
"Yes A.P. he was the biological father but I raised him and he carried my name. Tyrese Robert Ruffin. I don't blame AP for not really caring cuz him and I both found out recently who the biological father was."
"AP met my son for the first time yest when my son was already in coma. I was here today when we pulled the plug, not him. He was happily practicing and has no problem playing on Sunday."
"So yea this isn't all out yet but I'm sick of the poor AP sh*t. He didn't know or even meet my son. Sorry for the outburst but put yourself in my place."
Damn right!! You tell 'em Mr Ruffin!! AP's sperm, but he wasn't his father.
A 2 yr old freaking died `` here!!
Save the drama `` for yo momma!!!
AP isn't out there saying "poor me"... It's sites like TMZ that have it as a headline 3x a day.
He does have a point! Sorry for your lost, guy.
A f cking men! Sperm doesn't make a father. May you find peace in your time of sorrow MR RUFFIN!
Only slutttz don't know who the real father is. I wish the mom would take the boys place
Exactly my thoughts. I don't get why the outpouring of feelings on the sperm donnor. My feelings are with you and the mother, Mr. Ruffin.
He's right. I'm sorry he is going through this loss right now. First the loss in learning the boy wasn't biologicially his and now this. This guy must be going through a lot...he can rant all he wants.
This guy is right...but it wasn't Adrian who was looking for sympathy....he most likely tried to keep this as quiet as possible...but of course the MEDIA plays it out
shut up sit down if that ho had told him you might have a point but now let the man grieve and don't be the kind of person who is so shallow you would not want someone to grieve for a son he never knew cold another good choice by a ho picking your selfish ass
I completely agree....sorry this man Mr. Ruffin lost his child. Horrible way for a baby to die. It is disgusting that AP chose to play football instead of supporting the mother of his child while she had to make the decision to end her childs suffering and pull him from life support. One hell of a football player does not mean you are one hell of a parent. You found out months ago and never met him, come on clearly this child was not his priority. Money does not buy class!
I hear that man. Condolences to the real dad who raised the kid...Sad all around.
forget about poor ap...poor little 2 year old that a bitch ass has to beat up a kid so bad he dies....burn in hell...hope your ass gets raped daily in jail
They are both suckers if you ask me.. and the mom is the biggest idiot here to let some violent f ck near her son. The innocent are the ones who suffer. Rest in peace little one.
Mr Ruffin...at the time you found out the child was not yours AP found out the child was his. Instead of pulling stunts like this you should respect the fact that AP was willing to drop everything he was doing to respond to an emergency. He can't control the media. Just seems like Mr Ruffin is mad that its not his name out there...RIP Little Guy.

Kevin Van Trump has over 20 years of experience in the grain and livestock industry.
Wild weather patterns, USDA uncertainty and July deliveries should make this an extremely volatile week in the grain and soy markets. Producers should be looking to make final catch-up sales before what could be "game changing" data by the end of the week. Some type of floor in DEC13 corn between the $5.50 and $5.70 level still seems to make a lot of sense to me. A similar type of strategy in NOV13 soybeans, with a floor of some sort in place looks to be a smart play. There are just too many extreme dynamics in the marketplace right now to be taking "unprotected" risk. Below are just a handful of reasons why we need to proceed with caution and extreme respect for today's volatile markets.:
Don't miss out on my breakdown of the USDA's Quarterly Grain Stocks report this Friday, should be a big one...

West Virginia natural gas producers want a say in Mon Power's proposal to buy coal-fired generation — but not to argue against it.
"What we're not interested in doing is kicking the coal industry when they're down," said Independent Oil and Gas Association of West Virginia President Dennis Xander.
Mon Power has a large deficit in generation capacity to serve its customers and those of Potomac Edison, IOGA reiterated in its Jan. 4 petition with the Public Service Commission of West Virginia to intervene in the case for Mon Power's proposed solution.
The utility proposes to increase its installed capacity by almost 1,500 megawatts, primarily through the acquisition of the 80 percent of the coal-fired Harrison Power Station that it does not already own.
"IOGA desires the opportunity to express its views to the commission about using natural gas as an inexpensive, clean and reliable fuel for power generation, and believes that its views will materially assist the commission in reaching a decision in this case," IOGA wrote in its petition.
That doesn't mean IOGA is going to argue that natural gas would be better, Xander said.
"We don't intend to take any kind of position in that," he said. "However, to the extent that the commission wants someone to step up and say, 'Hey, look, the industry has an abundance of inexpensive, clean fuel that is an alternative,' we'll do that."
IOGA also wants to be sure to keep the record straight on what natural gas can and cannot do in the electric power industry.
"You're going to see a whole bunch of spreadsheets come out where people are going to calculate what the cost per kilowatt-hour would be under various scenarios," he predicted from long experience. "By intervening, we want to make sure whatever information the commission gets is right."
If the suggestion came up that the Harrison plant should pursue gas co-firing — burning natural gas with coal, something FirstEnergy already is considering at Harrison — IOGA would be behind that idea, Xander said.
"But we did not intervene for the purpose of trying to replace coal with natural gas," he said. "West Virginia needs coal jobs and coal severance taxes."

Ship(s): Polar Pioneer
Trip Highlights:
Explore the beautiful landscape and biological diversity of South Georgia, an island that's home to a staggering amount of wildlife, including several varieties of penguins and seals.
Summary: This spectacular journey combines the rugged beauty of the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, the South Orkney Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula. South Georgia's remote, untamed landscape is simply stunning. Scattered across the mighty Southern Ocean, the tiny arc of windswept islands and harbours are some of the world's greatest wildlife sanctuaries. Famed for its abandoned whaling stations and Shackleton's heroic journey, South Georgia is home to literally millions of fur seals and penguins, wallows of elephant seals, and nesting albatross. In Stromness, Leith and Grytviken Harbours, the well-preserved remains of vast whaling factories sit quietly at the base of 3000-meter high mountains. The nearby bays are home to king, macaroni and rock hopper penguins.
Embark in the late afternoon to a
warm welcome before setting sail along the
Beagle Channel.
Days 2 - 3: Drake Passage
Your Drake Passage crossing offers excellent bird-watching from the outer decks or the warmth of the bridge. Learn about Antarctica from your expert naturalist's informative talks, and about safety and environmental guidelines from expedition staff. You'll have time to meet fellow travelers, chat, read and prepare for the days ahead. Keen eyes watch for icebergs, while sightings of penguins, fur seals and king cormorants announce your approach to the South Shetlands Islands.
Days 4 - 6: South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula
Awaken to the thrill of Antarctica! Explore the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic continent, with visits to busy penguin rookeries, historic sites and making a continental landing.
Day 7: South Shetlands / At Sea
Approaching the whale-rich waters and steep slopes of Elephant Island, hope for a clear view of where Shackleton's men wintered beneath their upturned boats. With luck, take Zodiacs ashore near Point Wild.
Day 8: South Orkney Islands
Following in Shackleton's wake, cross the Scotia Sea detouring to the remote, mountainous South Orkney Islands. Zodiac cruise through a maze of icebergs to land at a beach bedecked with penguins, seals, and lichen-encrusted boulders.
Day 9: At Sea
You'll have time to reflect on all you've seen and learned, and to prepare for the next phase of your journey as you continue across the Scotia Sea.
Days 10 - 13: South Georgia
We have ample time to explore the network of harbors along South Georgia's spectacular northern coast, visiting wildlife havens that include the world's largest king penguin rookeries and majestic albatross nests. Kayakers revel in paddling the coastline's nooks and crannies, accompanied by playful seals. In Stromness and Grytviken harbours, 3000-metre peaks form dramatic backdrops to the remains of whaling stations. Kelp-strewn beaches are cluttered with basking elephant seals, feisty fur seals and a plethora of penguins.
Days 14 - 16: At Sea
Keep watch for the kelp-skirted Shag Rocks and wildlife while crossing the Scotia Sea, entertained by your expert naturalist and historian.
Day 17: Falkland Islands
Dawn greets you in the British capital of Stanley, Falkland Islands. Bid farewell and continue onward travel, stop in the Falkland Islands or continue onto Punta Arenas in Chile.

AHS: Bring pets inside during upcoming cold weather
PHOENIX -- As you brace yourself for the Artic blast coming this way, the Arizona Humane Society urged pet owners to bundle up their animals.
Animals can't just depend on that fur coat to keep him warm.
"They really do rely on us to provide them with resources they need to stay warm," said AHS spokesperson Bretta Nelson.
The agency would like to remind pet owners to keep their pets inside if at all possible as tempertures dip down into the 20s.
If you cannot accommodate your pet inside, remember to, provide adequate shelter, provide them dry bedding and give them ample food, as the extra calories will help them stay warm

Alert! Alert!
Because NICHCY's website will only remain online until September 30, 2014, most of its rich content has moved to a new home, the Center for Parent Information and Resources (CPIR), where it can be kept up to date.
The new address of Resources Especially for Foster or Adoptive Families at the CPIR is:
My duty is to care for her;
my love explains the manner of my days.
—Jane Wiley
Giving a child a home is a remarkable gift. This page is written for the families who've adopted children with disabilities (and without!) and those who offer them safe haven through fostering. t's also written for those who work in state agencies or in private organizations who find foster homes and adoptive families for so many children.
Table of Contents
- About foster care
- Addressing disability
- Organizations focused on adoption and foster parenting
- Finding support groups
- Selected websites of more info
About Foster Care
Foster care is a program, run by each state, which "allows stand-in parents, referred to as foster parents, to care for minor children who have been removed from their biological home." (1) The U.S. Children's Bureau, Administration for Children, Youth and Families, estimates that, in 2010, there were approximately 408,000 children in foster care in the United States and that approximately 53,000 children were adopted with public child welfare agency involvement. (2) Those statistics tell us that there are a lot of remarkable children and families out there touched by foster care and adoption! It's also estimated that at least one-third of the children and youth in foster care today likely have disabilities. (3)
When disability is involved, it's not the least surprising that families will have questions, concerns, and an immediate need for specific information about the disability. Information can help! To that end, NICHCY is honored to offer guidance about disabilities in children and the systems of help that address disability-related needs. These resources are likely to be helpful to those in the child welfare system as well, as they place children in foster homes and with adoptive families.
Addressing Disability
This first section tells you where, on NICHCY's website, you can find information about disabilities. We've tried to anticipate what type of information you might be looking for; you'll find this framed as a "lead-in" statement or question matched to a resource on our site that would answer that question. We hope this helps you speed to the info you want. If a "lead-in" doesn't apply to you, go to the next one and see if that's it, that's what I want to know, bingo!
I want to know more about a specific disability.
NICHCY offers a series of fact sheets on the more commonly occuring disabilities.
Are you looking for info on one of these disabilities? If so, click on its name and go to that fact sheet.
AD/HD | autism spectrum disorder | blindness/visual impairment | cerebral palsy
deafness and hearing loss | deaf-blindness | developmental delay
diabetes | Down syndrome | emotional disorders | epilepsy
heart conditions | hemophilia | intellectual disability | lead poisoning
learning disabilities | leukemia | nephritis | rheumatic fever
severe disability | sickle cell anemia | speech/language impairments
spina bifida | Tourette Syndrome | traumatic brain injury
But there's no fact sheet on the disability I'm interested in!
NICHCY has a vast library of materials on many, many other disabilities, including rare disorders. Use the SEARCH box on our site. Enter the name of the disability of interest. The SEARCH should identify organizations specializing in the disability in which you're interested.
I think this baby or toddler in my care may have a disability or a developmental delay (or I know so).
It's really important to follow through and see if the young child does have a disability or delay. If so, he or she would benefit greatly from early intervention services, which are designed to address very young children's developmental and disability-related needs. To find out more about what to do, we'd suggest you take a look at these NICHCY pages first:
Developmental Milestones
What's a developmental delay?
Overview of Early Intervention
I'm caring for a preschool-aged child who has a disability or delay (or I think so). What should I do?
It's important to find out if the child does indeed have a disability or developmental delay. If you're right and there is a disability involved, the child will most likely be eligible for special education and related services, which can really help children. Schools are responsible for evaluating children suspected of having a disability, even preschoolers (ages 3-5). The evaluation is provided free of charge. To learn more about the steps you might take, you may wish to read:
Special Education Services for Preschoolers with Disabilities
Evaluating Children for Disability
I'm concerned that a foster/adoptive child who's doing so poorly in school because of a disability. What should I do?
If you are concerned that the child's school performance is being affected by a disability, you'll first need to find out if he or she really does have a disability. If you're right and there is a disability involved, the child will most likely be eligible for special education and related services, which can really help children struggling in school. Schools are responsible for evaluating children suspected of having a disability. The evaluation is provided free of charge to families. Start the process by asking the school (preferably in writing) to evaluate your foster/adoptive child under IDEA to see if there's a disability involved. To understand more about the steps to take, we'd recommend you read these two webpages:
The 10 Basic Steps in Special Education
Evaluating Children for Disability
Behavior is a real problem for my foster/adoptive child, in school and at home both. Help!
You may want to visit NICHCY's Behavior Suite, a series of five resource webpages that all address behavior challenges.
My foster/adoptive child with a disability is in high school now. Shouldn't we be planning ahead to life after high school?
Yes, indeed. In fact, under IDEA, transition planning is required no later than when a youth with a disability turns 16. To learn more about transition planning, visit these NICHCY resource pages:
Transition in the IEP.
Transition Suite.
A series of 9 resource pages on all topics "transition."
What's available in my state to help me address the disability needs of my foster/adoptive child?
Great question! In fact, there's a huge amount of help in every state for children with disabilities. It is made available through state agencies, disability-specific organizations, and organizations especially for parents (including foster and adoptive parents). We highly recommend you get your hands on a NICHCY State Resource Sheet. These are available online at our State Resources page. Use the drop-down menu to name your state, and the resource list will automatically appear. There, you'll find the many state agencies involved in disability issues (including the State Department of Special Education), disability organizations specializing in specific disabilities (e.g., Down syndrome, learning disabilities), and organizations that help parents (for example, the Parent Training and Information Center, known as the state's PTI).
Organizations Focused on Adoption and Foster Parenting
There are several organizations that foster and adoptive parents may be especially interested in, because of their focus on foster care and adoptive parenting. We've listed these below.
National Council on Adoption
The Council is an adoption advocacy nonprofit that promotes a culture of adoption through education, research, and legislative action. Its areas of focus are infant adoption, adoption out of foster care, and intercountry adoption. The Council offers publications for adoption professionals, for families, for birthparents, and others.
This organization hosts multiple websites on adoption and is a popular adoption information destination because of the richness and depth of its information for families (both birth and adoptive) and for adoption professionals. Adoption.com also publishes the AdoptionWeek e-Magazine, which is sent to more than 120,000 email recipients each week. Adoption of special needs children is an area of particular emphasis, as you can see at the link below:
National Adoption Clearinghouse
The National Adoption Clearinghouse provides information to families who have adopted a child. Their contact information is:
Child Welfare Information Gateway
The Child Welfare Information Gateway connects child welfare and related professionals to comprehensive information and resources to help protect children and strengthen families. The Gateway features the latest on topics from prevention to permanency, including child abuse and neglect, foster care, and adoption. Toll free: 1.800.394.3366.
Adoptive Families Magazine
Adoptive Families is an award-winning national adoption magazine and a leading adoption information source for families before, during, and after adoption.
This website on adoption and special needs treats the two subjects separately, but offers a wealth of information and links on both.
National Resource Center for Adoption
Visit the NRCA to find information to aid with special needs adoption programs as well as web links to other helpful organizations and publications with a particular emphasis on working with special needs adoption.
National Association of State Adoption Programs
NASAP provides a forum in which State Adoption Program Managers can pool their expertise and promotes networking activities as an association with other direct child welfare entities and individual professionals so that each state can develop and maintain an efficient, state-of-the-art adoption program.
Adopt America Network
AAN is dedicated to helping place children with special circumstances, whether they are physical, emotional or something else (for instance, older children and/or siblings). If you're looking to adopt, this would be one connection worth pursuing.
National Foster Parent Association
The mission of the NFPA is to support foster parents in achieving safety, permanence and well-being for the children and youth in their care. NFPA's website features state-level information (both state foster parent associations and foster parent regulations for the state), information for foster parents, and an extensive list of "foster parent links." A toll-free number is available at: 1.800.557.5238.
Foster Care and Adoptive Community
FCAC Online Training offers 135 courses (5 interactive) with new topics added continuously. English and Spanish training modules are offered, so that you can "complete mandated training hours from the comfort of your home." Lots of other information is available, including state-level contacts.
Adoption Clubhouse
This website is specifically for adopted children ages 8 – 13, their parents, and others interested in knowing what's on the minds of young adoptees.
Finding Support Groups
Parents often find that joining a support group of other parents, even online, can be a rich source of help and connection. You may find this as well. Other parents of children with disabilities can share their insights, suggestions, and observations about how they address their child's disability needs, what agencies or organizations they've found helpful, and where to go for particular types of information or assistance.
There are several types of parent groups in the U.S., including:
- Support groups (such as Parent-to-Parent) for families of children with disabilities, which can match you with another parent whose child has the same disability as yours or whose circumstances are similar;
- Parent training and information (PTI) centers and community parent resource centers (CPRC) in every state (funded by the federal government), which are dedicated to helping parents understand their rights, work with the school system as an advocate for their child with a disability, and much more; and
- Groups concerned with a specific disability, such as United Cerebral Palsy Associations, Inc. (UCPA) or the Arc (formerly the Association for Retarded Citizens).
The contact information for all these types of groups is listed in the NICHCY State Organizations Search for your state.
