This is it. This is for all of the marbles. The last post. The "what did you accomplish after all this time"? So here we go!
I entered this major about 5 months ago. I know you think I am crazy, and you are right, because this was a lot of work for one semester. Both the intro class and the seminar class together is a lot to handle. But because of the support of my classmates and fellow IDSers I got it done!
Building my program backwards was a lot easier than I thought it
would be. I had a large interest in health (hence the prior health education major) and I had taken many of the classes in the Women's Studies minor. So basically I just put the two together. That was the only easy part. I still had to get approved and figure out which classes I was going to include into my contract.
I settled on a program of Women's Health. With my general focus being on feminism and childbirth. I am and always have been very interested in the birthing experience.
Senior Seminar was unlike any other class I have ever taken. So much of my education was up to me. I had choice and that was amazing. When learning about the Applied Project I had so many ideas. I settled on a feminist movement project. I tweeted every day in the month of March interviewing a different person on feminism and their views of it. I interviewed all sorts of people. I interviewed my family, peers, professors, coworkers, even strangers! Anyone I met I wanted to know what they thought about feminism. This was a truly interdisciplinary project in general. I used technology (twitter), communication skills (interviewing), women's studies (feminism) just to name a few different disciples. This contributed to me as a student and as a feminist. I figured out what I truly believed in and that is not something I can really say about the pre calculus class that I took.
My Research Article I was not as passionate about as my Applied Project. It's not that I wasn't excited about childbirth as much as I once was, it was that I am not a "research writer".
It is just a skill that I was never really good with. Anyways, I researched the different kinds of childbirths. Where can you have a baby? Who can be there? What kind of professional can I have there? Are epidurals dangerous? What is the right choice? And the answer is that there is no wrong or right way someone chooses to have their baby. I did and still do want to be a doula or midwife one day and that's why I wanted to know all of these answers. Because no two births are the same, being able to hear and read different women's stories really taught me a lot and solidified this life choice.
The things that I have learned in the last 5 months are unlike anything else. IDS came to me during a really tough time in my life. I was going to counseling on a triweekly basis, I wasn't eating or sleeping, I really hated myself and that is really hard to admit. I hated where my life was and what I was doing. Then I found my hope. I wanted to feel like my education and time here was worth it all. I wanted to walk across that stage and feel like this wasn't a
waste of my time or life. And I can say that this is true. I will be graduating on Saturday and I am proud. I am proud of myself and that is all I need. So to say that this class and these two assignments contributed to my growth and education would be an understatement.

Ripon man fires gun to scare off gang-banger burglars
A man who heard banging outside his apartment confronted three suspected burglars and scared them off by firing a pistol, police said today. Officers arrested two of them a short while later.
Police said the incident happened just before 10 p.m. Sunday near West Washington Street and Key Avenue.
The resident told police he confronted three men outside his apartment building and as they advanced on him, he retreated and fired a semi-automatic pistol into the ground.
The men backed off but stayed in the area. Police responding to the possible burglary report captured two of the men about two blocks away: Lamberto Godina, 18, of Ripon and Jose Mendoza, 19, of Salida.
They were booked into the San Joaquin County Jail on charges of assault, trespassing, and creating a disturbance.
Officers are trying to locate the third suspect. All three are documented members of the Norteño street gang.
The police department will ask the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office to review the case for possible charges against the victim for discharging a firearm within city limits, under the suspicion that the victim needlessly escalated the situation, police said.
Police are not releasing his identity because he fears for his safety.
Citing an increase in criminal activity, most of it gang-related, in the area, police urge anyone with information on the incident to report it immediately at 599-2102.

Big Story
Our post yesterday on the future of SoccerAmerica sparked an interesting discussion in the comments about the purpose of the magazine in print and online.
The magazine still has outstanding access to decision-makers. This week, Paul Gardner has a two-part interview on the SoccerAmerica website with the recently re-elected President of the US Soccer Federation, Sunil Gulati.
The interview is…how can I put this charitably…curious. Gardner seems to meander from question to question based on various bees that have rattling around in his bonnet for some time, not bothering to particularly explain his point or follow-up strongly to Gulati's answers.
PAUL GARDNER: You took office with what seemed to me a serious conflict of interest situation over your work for the New England Revs. But it seems not to be a problem.
SUNIL GULATI: It gets brought up on various issues. There are times when there is a potential conflict — on MLS matters — but they are relatively few, and my involvement has been completely disclosed.
PG: Would it not make matters simpler and clearer to make your position — that of USSF President — a job with a salary? Why are you opposed to this?
SG: It's something that's been suggested, and as things are turning out, it seems that more and more Federations worldwide now have paid Presidents. But it's not something that I am comfortable supporting — a least while I'm president.
PG: I have seen no real evidence that national team success translates into a gain for MLS. I mean does it sell more tickets?
SG: When the national team is successful, people notice the game itself more, there's a general buzz. They certainly notice the players. Does that mean more people tuning in to MLS games? Those analyses are hard to make. It's very difficult to isolate data points, but I do believe that as the sport is successful in one sector, that often translates into other areas – just don't ask me to prove it statistically.
PG: The demise of the National Hall of Fame is not encouraging, a reminder that things can go wrong. Should the Federation do more to support it?
SG: We are continuing our support. We continue to put money into it. We believe it's important to have that annual recognition — the inductions of the sport's top players and personalities. The second part is the museum itself, the exhibits. The model we have on that front is not sustainable. The Hall has been heavily subsidized for many years by the local community, the state, sponsors, as well as by the Federation and the Foundation. It's not encouraging, true, but if you're asking do I think it's a reflection of where the sport is now — no I don't.
As we can see, Gulati easily brushes aside what are legitimate concerns poorly constructed into questions by Gardner that fail to get to the meat of any of the issues raised. There is no attempt to dig into detail in Gardner's follow-ups. It's certainly not a puff-piece, but it's almost better than that for Gulati, so easily does the Columbia University lecturer fend-off the veteran journalist.
Then things take a turn for the weird. Gardner's final question to Gulati, the overseer of all of American soccer, is a bizarre, unexplained query about how the hiring of an assistant coach by US Men's National Team boss Bob Bradley is somehow a retrograde step for the diversity of the sport.
PG: Diversity is one of your aims. You got it off to a good start with the appointment of Wilmer Cabrera as the U-17 coach. But I've seen little progress since then. In fact, I would describe the recent appointment of Jesse Marsch to be an assistant national team coach, as a glaringly anti-diversity move.
SG: Well, it's OK for us to disagree about individual coaching appointments — but when we talk about assistant coaches, the national team coach or any head coach in our program has great latitude in selecting his staff. So while I'm happy to discuss my decisions in appointing head coaches, I believe that assistant coaches are very much in the purview of the head coach.
Appointing Wilmer Cabrera was one very public thing. But we now have our website in Spanish, we have two or three Hispanics on our BOD, we have more Spanish-language coaching and referee programs. Very few people would think that the hiring of Wilmer is more important than, for instance, the ability to communicate, or having our courses available for Spanish-speaking programs. These are all pieces of the puzzle and an area where we clearly have to continue our efforts — and not only in the Hispanic community.
Indeed, as the second part of Gulati's question makes clear, there are a lot of points to explore about the USSF's work on diversity. All this, apparently, is of no interest to Gardner — the work at the grassroots is nowhere near as important as who Bob Bradley's assistant coach is, judging from the sole question he asks about diversity.
We have to dig a little deeper to understand Gardner's sputtering question and track back to his column from 10 days ago about the appointment of Marsch to the USMNT coaching staff to figure out where that came from.
The first half of the piece is a screed about Marsch's record as a player, a rather half-hearted attempt to paint him as dirty, before Gardner concludes he "was not a particularly violent player."
It's in the second half that we start to see some reference to what might have prompted Gardner's question. He picks up on some ill-considered comments by Marsch about diving Brazilians made a couple of years ago, concluding that:
Without questioning Bradley's admiration of Marsch's "knowledge and experience," I am merely pointing out that there are some problems of attitude here that would surely need to be addressed in a player who has been catapulted into the rarified atmosphere of the national team's ruling class.
To wit: an addiction to serial fouling, a compulsion to quarrel with referees, and a conviction that all Brazilians are cheats.
Bradley, for sure, must be well aware of all this. He has been Marsch's benefactor since recruiting him at Princeton University and he has coached him professionally at D.C.United, Chicago, and Chivas USA. It is disturbing to ponder that Bradley might actually find the attitudes mentioned above to be positive additions to the national team coaching agenda.
More likely Bradley is simply willing to overlook them. A kindly touch from the master to the protégé who, not long ago, let it be known that he regards Bradley as "a genius."
Gardner has been ripping on Bob Bradley since at least 1998, when he coached the Fire to the MLS Cup and US Open Cup titles, the journalist criticising the "boring" soccer he saw (if only Piotr Nowak had been Hispanic!). Bradley later moved on to the USMNT role succeeding Bruce Arena (who he assisted at DC United for two years before heading up the Fire), thus perpetuating the East Coast Anglo Rulership of Dull American soccer that at least allowed Gardner to keep filing in the same columns to SoccerAmerica and World Soccer with a mere find and replace on his Word document.
Maybe that's a bit mean. Gardner has been making an important point about the need for US Soccer and MLS to improve the integration of Hispanic soccer culture into the "mainstream" of the sport for many, many, many years. Surely there are some serious points on it worth raising to Gulati on that based on Gardner's long experience looking at it.
One could even question whether Bradley's continual loyalty to those he has worked with in the past does mean the US Soccer set-up is too insular, though the choice of an assistant coach isn't the best example there given that role surely has to be taken by someone the head coach knows intimately and trusts heading into a World Cup finals tournament.
There might even be a legitimate question to ask of US Soccer about Marsch's comments on diving Brazilians. Maybe.
Unfortunately, given the chance to ask the man in charge of it all about any of these elements, all Gardner could do was toss an irrelevant softball Gulati was able to hit for a home run.

Try either of those at a football game and you could end up with a criminal record. "
- Fake Sigi on the prospects for a work stoppage in MLS: "the players have absolutely no leverage in a work stoppage. None.

NYC Mayor Security Agent Attacked www.privateofficer.com
New York City, NY. Oct. 23, 2007
A member of the mayor's security team was attacked on a Manhattan subway platform Monday afternoon while traveling with the mayor. Sources say the mayor and his security detail were waiting for the 4 and 5 trains at the Fulton Street Station Monday afternoon when a man lunged at one of the officers. Sources say the officer struggled with the 30 year-old man when the train arrived and the mayor hopped on board. Commuters who spoke with NY1 were surprised to hear the news. "Makes me second guess trying to go this way," said one commuter. "Maybe I should try to find another route or something like that. I'm not sure. It's crazy." "It's very scary. I take this train everyday. Now I have to watch out, you know. I'm sorry to hear that," added another. The mayor was not hurt and officials say there is no reason to think the man was targeting the him. The suspect is under observation at an area hospital.

GRAPEVINE, Tex., March 7 — ClearStory Data, the company bringing business-oriented data analytics to everyone with its automated Data Prep and Data Inference, automated data blending via Intelligent Data Harmonization and business-oriented Interactive StoryBoards, today unveils new capabilities with Automated Smart Data Discovery to make it even faster and easier for organizations to find and isolate patterns in data across large, complex data sources. The new innovations make it possible for business users and analysts to visually discover the most relevant data from a single source or from multi-source blended and harmonized data to speed answers to key business questions.
As Gartner cites in its 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence and Analytic Platforms: "The market shift from IT-led to agile modern agile business-led analytics is now mainstream." As part of this market shift, organizations seek solutions that ease and automate data discovery, prepping data, blending disparate sources, and immediately seeing self-service interactive business insights, all with a simple user experience so anyone can work with data, organizations seek solutions that ease and automate data discovery, prepping data, blending disparate sources, and immediately seeing self-service, interactive business insights, all with a simple user experience so anyone can work with data.
How It Works
With ClearStory's new Automated Smart Data Discovery capability, business users and analysts can easily discover key patterns in complex, blended and harmonized data sources and instantly pinpoint the most relevant data to answer key business questions. When data is complex and large, or several disparate sources are harmonized to deliver fast business answers that matter, traditional IT-led data wrangling methods are no longer sustainable. With ClearStory's visual, interactive Automated Smart Data Discovery, users can navigate through any data quickly and see all data values in-context as data updates to spot all patterns that drive fast, meaningful insights. Customers benefit because key data and patterns are immediately revealed, yielding fast answers to critical business questions.
Furthering Automated Business Analytics

Highlights of ClearStory's Automated Smart Data Discovery capabilities include:
- Point-and-click, Fast Visual Exploration of disparate harmonized data that instantly reveals patterns, correlations and exceptions. The result is immediate identification of the most relevant data to answer key business questions.
- Patterns, Occurrences, and Outlier Detection across Non-numeric Categorical Data and Numeric Data to pinpoint key relationships and isolate down to the data of most relevance to speed analysis to reach business-critical insights.
- Fluid Contextual Discovery during Navigation that enables users to traverse dimensions in the data and immediately see which attributes are of statistical significance to answer key business questions. The result of this is the instant narrowing down of key data in-context to effectively answer business questions.
- Visual Options for Small Data, Large Data, and Highly Complex Datato accommodate the nuances, granular details and patterns that apply to exploring large data volumes or highly dimensional data sources. The visual options include interacting with data where there may be a high density of similar values, clusters, and many groupings that require more visual clarity and navigation options to find the most important data elements.
"We are excited about this breakthrough capability in smart data discovery as it's highly needed for the diversity of data that organizations are pulling in for insights," said Dr. Timothy Howes, Chief Technology Officer of ClearStory Data." As organizations struggle with analyzing large data volumes, with more complexity and from a diversity of sources, it becomes exponentially harder to understand what's most relevant in the data to answer business questions. ClearStory's Automated Smart Data Discovery gives business users an easy, visual and contextual way to identify important relationships between data elements, spot trends, outliers, and correlations, and understand their data better across all data types and sources."
According to Gartner, the BI and analytics market is in the final stages of a multiyear shift from IT-led, system-of-record reporting to business-led, self-service analytics. As a result, the modern business intelligence and analytics (BI&A) platform has emerged to meet new organizational requirements for accessibility, business agility and deeper business analytical insight.

Even if you don't have school-age children, your school district matters. It has an impact on your home's value, and if you ever plan to sell, a sought-after school district can be a major asset.
For those who don't have children, relying on school district information provided by your realtor or through websites such as Public School District Search and GreatSchools.org is fine.
If you do have children, however, other factors have to be considered. Sure, a school district can look great on paper, but how do you know if it is right for your child?
Before purchasing or renting in a district, schedule a meeting with the principal of your child's potential school. You want to ask about the school's mission (the school should have a clearly defined, detailed mission). Ask about parent involvement – how organized is the PTA? Are parent volunteers sought after and welcomed? Is there a tutoring program? How is the community as a whole involved in the school? Does the school have partners in the business community? Look for a principal who is very active in his or her school – highly visible around the school, knows students by name, and is respectful and open with teachers.
Music, art, and physical education should be integral parts of the curriculum – not underfunded afterthoughts. High schools that value their fine arts department as much as they do their sports program are ideal – they understand the importance of a well-rounded student, and they appreciate how creativity through art and music enhance a student's academic performance.
Ask about school safety procedures. This isn't just making sure that all visitors must pass through and sign in at the front office. How seriously does the school take issues such as bullying and threats? Do they have clear emergency plans in place? Are regular fire drills implemented? In the case of inclement weather, how are parents notified?
Regular communication between teachers, administrators, and parents is also important. Find out how parents are kept in the loop, and find out how frequently teachers contact parents. If teachers maintain blogs, ask how often these are updated, and the type of information students can find there: upcoming tests, notes, information on projects, and homework assignments are all helpful.
If your child has special needs, ask the school about these programs, as well. Does the special education program fit the needs of your child? Ask the principal to give you a tour of the school, and if possible, observe a special education class in action to make sure it is right for your child.
Finally, rely on your judgment. It doesn't matter how a school ranks if you like the school, the principal, and the teachers. As a parent, you'll know if a school will fit your child and if he or she will be happy there. Although the school may not be the "best" on paper, it may turn out to be the best school for you and your child.

Seeing them talk like this you can feel theirs passion.
I thought it would be interesting to say the first time I saw them in a film/tv-series and in which film/tv-series I think they were at theirs best.
I saw Rupert Friend in Pride and Preducie, but I really loved him at Young Victoria.
I saw Aaron Johnson in Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, and I loved him at Nowhere boy.
I saw Eddie Redmayne Tess of the D'Urbervilles, and I loved him at Birdsong.
I saw Ben Wishaw at Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, and I loved him in this role.

IL Candy Factory Chemical Spill
Tuesday, June 21, 2016 @ 11:06 AM gHale
A chemical spill at a candy factory in Itasca, IL, forced an evacuation that left 18 workers ill Friday.
Shift workers at the Willy Wonka Candy Factory returned to work Saturday after the lithium chloride spill.

NC Chemical Plant Blast Forces Evac
Lithium chloride is a chemical used for humidity control.
When firefighters arrived around 1:30 a.m., workers were already outside, officials said.
About 18 workers complained of respiratory issues and around a dozen of them went to the hospital for treatment.
"Our companies got on the scene and evaluated, found the building evacuated," said Deputy Fire Chief John Radzinskil. "The product was not the main problem. It was a water soluble product that we didn't have much to do with. They're going to clean that up on their own."
Wonka is a Nestle company.
The company said the spill happened at 9:30 p.m. when a pipe carrying the lithium chloride burst.
The company said it is a non-hazardous material and the spill ended up contained.
However, hours later, employees began complaining of nausea and difficulty breathing.
At first, two or three employees complained of nausea 2.5 hours after the spill had been contained, said spokeswoman Roz O'Hearn. Later, more employees began complaining of sickness.

There are many lessons and tips to learn about trading the Forex. These 40 Forex trading tips and lessons are a result of what I've learned about trading, as a beginner, and from the use of a Forex demo account. So, if you are a beginner level trader, or thinking about becoming one, this list of 40 trading tips and lessons is especially for you! The list is not in any particular order of importance, and later I'll provide additional reading for many of these points.
1. Appropriately select the right Forex trading platform, and preferably a Forex broker without a dealing desk.
2. Select the Forex market indicator tools that work best for you, and watch their market signals.
3. Realize that leading or lagging market indicator tools are not perfect, but still valuable.
4. Learn to trust the market indicator tools more than your market fear, anxiety, or greed.
5. Don't be anxious to enter a market until you have fully determined the proper entry point and direction.
6. Don't allow your anxiety or greed to cause you to be anxious before you determine an appropriate exit.
7. Admit when you're wrong and get out of a trade that goes awry before it gets out of hand.
8. Test, and retest your knowledge and strategies with a demo Forex account before going live!
9. Once you go live, test new strategies with your demo account, not with your real money!
10. Strategies for scalping, intraday trading, or swing trading, must match your budget to avoid margin calls.
11. Don't allow a winning streak to cause you to overlook your true percentage of winning vs losing trades.
12. If you don't know how to trade, don't buy a Forex automated robotic software to do the job for you.
13. Become proficient at proper entry and exits within a Forex demo account, before opening a live account.
14. If you take a wrong position it's best to exit promptly and suffer small losses, rather than hoping for a market retraction, which could eliminate a large sum or all of your equity before the retraction occurs!
15. Start small with the number of lots you trade, but think big since the Forex can result in exponential earnings, or losses.
16. Lack of initial capital can make it difficult for swing trading in order to avoid margin calls, so plan on having a good sum of initial funds to open your account, so you're not undercapitalized.
17. Your attitude about the Forex must be the same as a business mentality - you will experience both profits and losses.
18. Study each time chart prior to entering a trade to confirm the direction and trend of the currency pair you've selected.
19. Become proficient at trading one or several currency pairs rather than jumping around with a variety of pairs.
20. The best time to trade is early mornings when the market has the most activity.
21. If you trade in the afternoons, realize the market moves slower and may result in impatience.
22. If your trades are not closed out the same day you entered, prepare for potential overnight losses.
23. Take the time to evaluate the proper price to set your stop losses, take profits, trailing stops etc.
24. Don't beat yourself up when you lose a trade, but rather re-evaluate why it happened and learn from it.
25. Don't enter the Forex market with a "get rich quick" attitude, which could cause you to become too anxious to make money and result in making incorrect trade decisions.
26. Don't allow anxious feelings to cause you to enter into a trade too early.
27. Use your Forex demo account when you're unsure about your strategy so you only lose play money, not real money if you're wrong.
28. A Forex demo account is the best place to learn from your mistakes so the price you pay for your mistakes is only lost time, and not money.
29. A Forex demo account provides you with the ability to learn from indicator tools and your strategies, right or wrong.
30. An important purpose of using a Forex demo account is to learn how to train and control your trading emotions, so you don't allow your emotions to control your trading, which will generally result in losses.
31. One of the most difficult Forex trading lessons to master is learning to control your trading emotions.
32. Trading the Forex naked (without indicator tools), using price action and pattern recognition helps to eliminate emotional trading decisions, and to increase profits.
33. Trading the Forex based on price action saves you time, and helps to eliminate market anxiety.
34. Always be mindful of proper money management while trading. Don't allow market greed to push you to trade too many units, or too large of a percentage of your equity at any time.
35. Quit when you're ahead and take a break, it's not possible to win every trade.
36. Realize that indicator tools will not teach you how to trade, but rather will be like a crutch.
37. Learn to trade without indicator tools and learn to recognize candle patterns and market reversals.
38. Don't be anxious to open a live account until you have proven your ability to be profitable by practicing with a Forex demo account, which works like a trading simulator.
39. Watch to make sure your trading emotions such as anger don't take over and cause you to become self-destructive with your trading.
40. Realize that your success with trading the Forex will depend a great deal on whether or not you can master your trading emotions, positive or negative.
Happy trading! This completes my list of Forex lessons and tips in summary, and I hope you found it to be helpful. If so, please leave a comment! Thank you!

The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) conducts audits on healthcare organizations to ensure full compliance with the requirements and implementation specifications of HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules.
Every Covered Entity and Business Associate is eligible for an audit. The primary audit objective is to assess compliance of the HIPAA regulated industry, with a focus on selected specifications of HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules. OCR also hopes to discover industry-common vulnerabilities that remain undetected during routine OCR complaint investigations and compliance reviews, and use these findings to develop new breach prevention strategies. OCR will ultimately use audit findings to determine where to focus ongoing enforcement initiatives.
OCR's audit protocol encompasses requirements and implementation specifications from HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules. Included in the protocol are 89 Privacy requirements, 72 Security requirements and 19 Breach Reporting requirements. Based on the type of Covered Entity or Business Associate selected for audit, OCR will identify a subset of topics to be audited from among these 180 audit items.
Let BlueOrange Compliance help your organization become audit-ready.

Difference between Pillow Top and Euro Top
Pillow top and euro top mattresses have become popular mattress choices. Main feature of both models is a thick, soft and cushy layer of padding that is attached on the top of the mattress. They are always the softest models in their product line, thus provide the highest level of comfort. The difference between them is more aesthetic than functional, since they differ in a way the top is stitched to the mattress.
Pillow Top
Top comfort or padding layers are loosely sown on to the top of the main body of the mattress. It looks like there is an obvious, separate piece or a pillow attached to the mattress.
Euro Top on the other hand is sown on to the top more firmly with straight, vertical edges continuing up from the main body of the mattress. Euro Top looks like it is a part of the whole mattress structure; it doesn't have the gap between the top and the mattress and is separated only with a stitched seam.

The actor once explained why they chose their daughter's name.
"It was just a name we like," he shared. "I always kind of liked Indie or Indiana for a boy and she like India. We sorta went, 'Oh, well, whether it's a boy or a girl that will decide.' It just seemed to fit."

We are so proud of our students' leadership successes! They have an article glowing about their deeds in the Burnaby Now! Link to the Burnaby Now article. The magic of community programming is what happens a few years down the line…when kids that once partook in programming are now leading that programming and acting as shining examples of healthy members of a community!
The Magic of Community Programming
Byrne Passion
Last year with the help of the Passion Foundation and Loretta Cella, 16 of our Byrne Creek girls participated in the Passion Project leadership training series. As a part of these workshops a final community project or initiative is encouraged. The project is completely developed, created, and completed the youth who participate for their peers. It's an opportunity for them to showcase their leadership skills, develop new skills, and give back in a lasting way.
This is the video that our Byrne Creek students created over the summer. Check it out here. This video highlights the negative voices girls have about themselves based on outside influences and what its like to Change the Tape.
The girls will continue with this program into the fall as they begin to develop Girl's Leadership Workshops for our feeder elementary schools.
Connecting for the Future
I recently received a gift from Byrne Creek's Parent Advisory Council (PAC) Chair Janet Reid. It is a gorgeous First Nations art piece that I love! It is called, The Parent Voice: Connecting for the Future.
I went to put the artwork up in my office the other day and noticed the artist's interpretation of the painting. It was a moment where I realized that the painting is a perfect fit for the path that we have charted in developing our community school model here at Byrne Creek:
"The Parent Voice: Connecting for the Future design encapsulates the elements of sharing, connection, growth and leadership which also run parallel to the mutual understanding and desire to sustain and brace a well balanced and healthy future.
The Man and Woman symbolize the sharing of their words, wisdom and cultural teachings with love and respect. The Eagles symbolize power of Great Spirit, courage, freedom and the capacity of bridging worlds. The Salmon symbolize the power of instinct, determination, intuition and the ability to follow your vision. The Bears symbolize the power of strength, sweetness of truth, deliberation, conservation and healing.
When creating this design I wanted each animal to have a partner to represent how we should never stand alone. The practice of partnership is a leading model of personal and professional success. I hope the viewers of this design feel its meaning within themselves as it comes from a place of welcoming, love, respect, understanding and unity. May we continuously thank and honor our Parents, Elders, Role Models, and Caregivers for their wisdom and guidance as we continue our journey in a sustainable and well balanced future.
Jamin Zuroski is the artist of this treasure and the author of this narrative. On his bio Jamin is described as a person of First Nations, Polish, and Ukrainian descent."

Body Activism
As a Health At Every Size labor doula and social worker, I am passionate about creating body positive community and exploring the personal body histories we each bring to the birth space. I studied psychoanalytic and social theories on food and embodiment at The Women's Therapy Centre Institute. I worked at The Body Positive in Berkeley CA and The New School in NYC facilitating workshops with women around body positivity, size discrimination and intuitive eating. I offer trainings for birth workers that are focused on untangling cultural messages around health and weight and understanding how to support our clients navigate these themes throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I also lead groups for pregnant people to better understand their food and body thoughts throughout pregnancy and foster body positive community.
If you are interested in learning more about workshop offerings, check out my workshops. If you would like me to organize a group or workshop, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Walmart is by far the world's largest retailer. Its annual revenues exceed those of Kroger, Target, Costco, Home Depot and Walgreens combined. It is also the world's largest customer, doing business with over 100,000 suppliers from across the globe.
That's why Environmental Defense Fund has spent seven years on the ground with Walmart, driving sustainability initiatives from within. The company's unique place in the global supply chain could raise the bar for environmental performance across the board, providing EDF with a powerful lever for achieving global environmental results.
With the introduction of Walmart's supplier Sustainability Index, environmental outcomes truly worthy of Walmart's scale seem achievable for the first time: Major reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Improved efficiency across supply chains and sectors. Improvements in water quality and human health. The list goes on.
Please join EDF Managing Director Elizabeth Sturcken for a discussion on the Sustainability Index. We'll explore new initiatives, successes to date and areas where EDF hopes to see improvement. Details below.

"Thanks so much for taking our wedding photos Robbie. They're better than I could have hoped and really capture some special moments of the day. What lovely memories."
— Vibeke & Sam
"If you want serious talent… then you have the person! My husband and I got married a month ago tomorrow and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Robbie arrived at our venue bang on time, and nothing was too much work. Robbie was very understanding as to how stressful it can be getting ready and ensured he didn't interrupt in any way, whilst still taking superb photos. Throughout the day it was wonderful to know our photo's were taken care of and there wasn't a moment where Robbie wasn't snapping away! He also made it fun, finding wonderful and quirky scenes to take photos of my husband and I."

Paint Shop Survey: Many to Choose From
Our poll turned up quality shops in most regions of the country. Expect to pay at least $10,000 for a simple job on a single if you want top-notch results.
When aircraft maintenance budgets get tight, paint and interiors are the first things to get put off. This may be part of the reason our latest survey of paint shops turned up fewer top-rated shops than the one we did five years ago. Natural selection is weeding out shops that dont deliver in quality and service. The good news for anyone with paint so tired it blends in with a canopy cover is that prices have barely movedperhaps even dropped slightly if corrected for inflationand there are still several high-skill shops in business around the country (with the seeming exception of the Pacific Northwest). You should be able to find a place to get great paint without crossing multiple time zones.

As a teenager, I had acne. It wasn't horrible but it was problematic and annoying. As I grew up my skin/acne go better but my pores remained the bane of my existence. They are huge, uncloggable, and unsightly. I've even had people say to they wish they could pop all of them. As an adult, I've used Proactiv, Clean & Clear, Clearasil, Neutrogena, and Cetaphil. Nothing clears out my pores enough and most of the products I've used have dried out my combination skin or given me a rash. I was at my wits end until I hung out with a friend this past Friday and she told me about Olay Regenerist Detoxifying Pore Scrub Face Wash. She said she had dealt with the same problem and that Olay had done the trick for her ghastly pores. So with my friend's advise and Cora's tips/tricks, I've started a new skin regiment. I know (now) skin care doesn't stop after puberty and I feel fully armed to beat my skin into submission. I'm going to be chronically my skin's progress.

Hewlett-Packard has launched a portfolio of business technology optimisation (BTO) software, drawing on expertise acquired when it bought Mercury Interactive earlier this year.
According to HP, the new software brings together Mercury's applications management software with its own systems and network management software.
The Mercury acquisition should help HP better sell its software to the executive suite rather than just to the CIO or the IT staff, said IDC analyst Stephen Elliot. "When you see a presentation by an HP sales manager they should be talking as much about the business problem being solved as the technology itself," said Elliot. "Historically, for HP it was much more of a technical sale."
The new HP-Mercury portfolio helps customers integrate key IT functions across business strategies, applications and operations. Taking lifecycle approach, customers can deliver better business outcomes by making the right spending decisions, delivering applications and services on time with the right quality and performance, and meeting business service-level agreements, said Magdy Assem, worldwide director of product marketing at HP Software.
"Our focus is to be able to actually...enable CIOs to optimise the business outcome of IT, not the IT outcome," said Assem.
HP has also announced the development of nine "software centres" that cluster various software products around certain business processes, including project management, software quality assurance, or network management.

I've seen quite a few posts on transgender-related Facebook groups asking about various possible plant sources of estrogens or androgens. This happens to be something I researched in some detail during the years when I was trying to get around the Harry Benjamin standards of care. The most helpful source I found during that time was a U.S. Department of Agriculture website, "Dr. Duke's Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Databases" (https://phytochem.nal.usda.gov/phytochem/search ). It's a comprehensive compilation of research on chemicals found in plants and is searchable by plant species, chemical name, chemical activity and other, more technical terms.
Here's a brief rundown on some of what I found out there in looking for sources of estrogen:
First, there's a difference between actual estrogens and other chemicals that are estrogenic, i.e., have effects or activities that are similar to estrogens in some way and/or to some degree. The database lists a total of 81 chemicals as estrogenic (plus one more listed as possibly but not confirmed as estrogenic, rutin (see more below). In contrast, the database lists just five estrogens: estradiol, estradiol-17-beta, estriol, estrone and coumestrol.
Here is each of the estrogens and the plant sources for them, by species name followed by common names (the words in parentheses refer to the actual part of the plant in which they're found):
Humulus lupulus – Hops (fruit)
Panax ginseng – Ginseng; Oriental Ginseng; Korean Ginseng; Chinese Ginseng (root)
Panax quinquefolius – American Ginseng (plant)
Punica granatum – Pomegranate (seed)
Phaseolus vulgaris – Navy Bean; Green Bean; Pop Bean; Field Bean; Haricot Bean; Flageolet Bean; Snap Bean; French Bean; Black Bean; Dwarf Bean; Popping Bean; Kidney Bean; Wax Bean; String Bean; Haricot; Garden Bean; Haricot Vert (seed; i.e., the bean itself, not the pod)
Glycyrrhiza glabra – Licorice; Smooth Licorice; Licorice-Root; Common Licorice (root)
Panax ginseng – Ginseng; Oriental Ginseng; Korean Ginseng; Chinese Ginseng (root)
Punica granatum – Pomegranate (seed)
Salix sp. – Willow (flowers)
Humulus lupulus – Hops (fruit)
Malus domestica – Apple (seed)
Olea europaea – Olive (seed)
Panax ginseng – Ginseng; Oriental Ginseng; Korean Ginseng; Chinese Ginseng (root)
Panax quinquefolius – American Ginseng (plant)
Perilla frutescens – Perilla (sprout, seedling)
Phaseolus vulgaris – Navy Bean; Green Bean; Pop Bean; Field Bean; Haricot Bean; Flageolet Bean; Snap Bean; French Bean; Black Bean; Dwarf Bean; Popping Bean; Kidney Bean; Wax Bean; String Bean; Haricot; Garden Bean; Haricot Vert (seed)
Phoenix dactylifera – Date palm (pollen, seed)
Prunus armeniaca – Apricot (seed)
Punica granatum – Pomegranate (seed)
Zea mays – Corn, Maize (seed, oil)
Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera – Brussels Sprout (shoot)
Glycine max – Soybean (shoot, plant, seed, root, leaf)
Medicago sativa – Alfalfa; Lucerne (root, sprout/seedling, leaf, shoot, plant)
Phaseolus lunatus – Lima Bean; Butter Bean (seed)
Phaseolus vulgaris – Navy Bean; Green Bean; Pop Bean; Field Bean; Haricot Bean; Flageolet Bean; Snap Bean; French Bean; Black Bean; Dwarf Bean; Popping Bean; Kidney Bean; Wax Bean; String Bean; Haricot; Garden Bean; Haricot Vert (seed)
Pisum sativum – Pea (fruit)
Psoralea corylifolia – Black Dot; Malaya Tea; Babchi (root)
Trifolium pratense – Red Clover (root, sprout, plant, flower)
One thing to be taken into consideration upfront: Estradiol is by far the strongest (i.e., the most biologically active) of these substances; all the others are far weaker, which means they would have to be consumed in much larger quantities to get the same effect. At the same time, the concentrations of all of the chemicals, including estradiol, are pretty low, so even those plants would have to be consumed in mass quantities to have any effect. It should also be mentioned that some of these plants also show up on a search of the database for chemicals with anti-estrogenic properties, which would suggest that consuming those plants would end up having no net effect.
My impression is that while many of these plants might offer some help to women dealing with the symptoms of menopause, they offer little or no help to transgenders seeking substitutes for prescription HRT. And I speak from experience, having tried some of them.
Based on my research, some years ago I decided that the most promising of these plants was red clover. For one thing, it has a much higher concentration of coumestrol than any other plant (1,322 mg/100g compared with 14.08 mg/100g for the second-place source, dry kala chana, whatever that is; so almost 100 times as strong). In addition, red clover also contains high concentrations of coumarin, a chemical precursor for anti-coagulants such as coumadin (Warfarin).
Which brings us to rutin. The USDA database cites one study (Economic & Medicinal Plant Research, 6: 189) that found estrogenic properties for rutin, a flavonoid found widely in citrus fruit and numerous other plant species. It's also an anti-coagulant recommended for prevention of HRT-related blood clots. The USDA database lists a total of 263 plants that contain some rutin, but since it's readily available as a nutritional supplement, I won't go into detail.
Many of the other plant sources are also available at health food stores, pharmacies, etc. Estriol is also available in pill form outside the U.S., but in this country it's only available in topical creams. Red clover can be found in capsules, which I personally found fairly indigestible, and also in teabags; the resulting brew is drinkable, but to me tastes sort of like overcooked spinach. (I also tried ginseng capsules for a while, with similarly disappointing results.)
Anyone who's on HRT should avoid phytoestrogens because they bind to estrogen receptors and block the more active prescription estrogen you're taking. If for whatever reason you're unable to obtain prescription estrogen, you could try these phytoestrogens, but my personal experience was that they had no perceptible effect. (Which is not in any way meant to imply that they aren't effective for treatment of menopausal symptoms; there does appear to be a fair amount of research supporting their efficacy for that purpose.)
As for the non-estrogen "estrogenic" chemicals, some may actually have stronger effects than the actual estrogens. Most are flavonoids or isoflavones, such as genistein and daidzein, which are found in abundance in soybeans. The same caveat about avoiding them while on HRT applies here, too.
Not on any of these lists is that favorite ingredient in nutritional supplements aimed at menopausal women: black cohosh (Actaea racemosa). According to USDA, black cohosh contains no estrogens, but does contain one isoflavone, Formononetin, that (like other isoflavones) has some estrogenic properties.
I apologize to any transmen readers for not including information about androgens and androgenic chemicals, but I would surmise that the same kinds of limitations and caveats apply to the phyto- sources for those types of chemicals: use only if you can't get the prescription stuff, and don't expect much effect.

IPS Parent & School Associations
The IPS Parent Association (PA) is a separate body from the IPS Association (IPSA). The difference being that the PA assists the school on a day to day basis by, for example, selling school materials and uniforms, organising fundraising events and after-school activities for the students, whereas the IPSA assists the school in future planning initiatives and strategic planning. The IPS Board of Governors is made up of IPSA members.
The International Preparatory School Parent Association (PA)
IPS is supported by a lively and committed Parent Association (PA). All parents who join the school are encouraged to become members of the PA. The PA has its own office and storeroom situated at the main school entrance and parents are welcome to visit during opening hours. The office is run by the PA Secretary, Mrs Clothilde Desmarais. The PA office is responsible for selling school uniforms and school stationery and also undertakes the main organisation and administration of a number of extra-curricular activities for IPS students.
The members of the Parent Association elect a PA Committee each year. This committee is very active in organising a number of community events through the year. These events are very popular with our community and are designed to bring our community closer together and to raise funds for special projects to enhance student life on campus. In recent years the PA has contributed generously towards enhancing technology, providing air-conditioning and providing some very popular jungle-gym equipment for our playgrounds. The PA is also active in organising social events at the school, holding bake sales and in supporting the outreach work of the IPS Student Council.
The PA Committee is comprised of the Chair and Vice-Chair, the Secretary and Treasurer and a number of supporting members. In addition, the PA encourages parents to come forward as PA Class Representatives. The PA Chair is also an ex-officio member of the Board of Governors and is invited to join Board meetings.
The PA is a very valuable resource for our school and for parents new to the school and PA members are always eager to answer questions and do what they can to help new IPS families feel at home!

text: A quick connection to Salesforce with Pentaho 28. February 2014 Heath Programming Comments (0) I have been tasked with create a quick way to load orders into sales force by my employer. They have set up the custom order type in sales force and provided me a login and csv file. This is the limit of my knowledge of sales force, so I am starting from scratch. I was able to look around their developer site long enough to find a wsdl and was well on my way to creating a custom c# app to attach to it and simply pars the csv file, but decided to dual purpose this experience and try to do it with the new tool in the shop, Pentaho. Pentaho, if you're not familiar, is a ETL / DTL tool that runs on java and creates files called kettle files. http://www.pentaho.com/ These files script data transformations and movement as transformations and jobs and can be run on a server on a scheduled basis. The UI editor for configure it is called spoon and is basically a 100 click tool (100 clicks for every line of code I could write). Its basically an attempt to make the standard process of file reading, writing and data conversions all take place in this tool. Its a nice idea as who likes writing file readers and parsers? Well me too sort of, but you get my drift.Anyways, I crack open Spoon (Pentaho front end), create a new csv file import type and configure it as below. Basically, I browse to the file I want to load, make sure its comma delimited and quote enclosed then press get fields, it did a nice job in this case and I was able to simply press ok.Next, I was looking for web server endpoint to tie the data too, but instead found the SalesForce endpoints sitting there for me. So I grabbed the upsert one (as the files I'm getting weekly are total refreshes so upsert is the way to go). I configure it like below. Basically, all I had to do was enter a username and password as well as the select the custom order object we had created in SalesForce and then edit mappings. This is where you tie file fields to the sales force service fields. This isn't too hard and not worth picturing, you can see a few in the picture above. Then I was done with the transform and loading data to Salesforce. I will talk more about finishing the Pentaho job off in another post.
