Even though I've helped thousands of people nurture their intuition and develop confidence in their decision-making abilities for over a decade, I know what it's like to struggle with doubt and be paralyzed by fear.
Quite some time ago, I had a longing in my life for meaning. I craved spiritual harmony. I yearned for a divine truth.
It was so painful because I felt alienated from the religious structures in which I was raised. The traditional rituals and observances that I inherited did not serve me. In fact, they specifically stated that they did not belong to me. I was not welcome.
The absence of significant ceremony in my life left me feeling confused, detached, and outcast. I grew disenchanted and disengaged from the rest of the world. I felt there was no spiritual safety net to support me.
I remember being alone in my college dorm freshman year, having been given special permission to be on campus when everyone else was with their families over winter break. I had been kicked out of my home before the semester started for refusing to lie about my sexuality. I knew I was gay and not going back in the closet. So there I was, alone in a stark white room on an empty campus for Thanksgiving, wondering if I'd ever belong anywhere. I couldn't concentrate on much of anything because I alternated between feeling numb and deeply sad. I cried myself to sleep the first night.
But then I had a beautiful epiphany within that darkness. I got out of bed, grabbed my Tarot deck, and started pulling cards. And the story that I read in them helped me realize that the power and resources I deemed to be outside of me in other people could be reclaimed. I could choose to find meaning in my life experiences. I could find value in the struggles. And that Thanksgiving I created my own ritual of gratitude and it shifted my entire existence. Today I still create my own sacred observances as I did then. By making them up according to my intentions.
My life improved.
The ceremonies I created to honor my experiences helped me develop a deep confidence in my abilities. My creativity and courage skyrocketed, and I took chances I'd never taken before.
I ran for top leadership positions in students government and clubs and won. I earned leading roles in theater productions, edited the school yearbook and newspaper, and published cartoons, poems, and short stories. I established mentorships with faculty advisers and teachers who shared their wisdom with me. Their coaching influenced me to take the path I'm on today. I'm so grateful for their guidance.
Today I have a rockin' life! I have friends and clients all over the world, and my chosen families support and nourish me. I get to work with high-powered, high-performance people who are making a big impact in the world. And the best part is the peace and forgiveness I've found with my birth family, a gift I wouldn't have deemed possible all those years ago. I want this kind of life for everyone!
And that's why I've dedicated myself to helping people who feel alienated from the beliefs they grew up with. I love helping people tell better stories and then live them! Because I understand how painful it can be to struggle with meaning while craving spiritual connection. Everyone deserves their own psychic support system!
I'm on a mission to help people transform their perceptions, perspectives, experiences, and in the process, their reality. And even though my schedule is pretty booked with regular clients, I have created space for a limited number of appointments for anyone who wants their own epiphany! If you, or anyone you know, struggles with claiming a connection to the divine, or simply wants clarity at their crossroads, please message me. I'm offering a limited number of "Reclaim & Reframe!" Coaching and Reading Breakthrough Sessions at half of my regular rate for only a few weeks. I'd be honored to support you.
Any questions, I'm here for you.

This post, written by Tori Walker '18, recounts her weekend experience with her host family:
This weekend, in particular, is an opportunity for all of the students on the exchange to spend individual time with their host families and do something outside of our pre-planned agenda. Personally, my host family made plans for us to spend our Sunday in Versailles, France. Waking up early isn't part of their routine, especially on weekends, so this morning was full of rapid preparation for our drive to Versailles, since they wanted us to arrive early enough before the attractions filled with crowds.
The cars here, as you may know, are usually very small, so squeezing into their car was quite an experience this morning as we were rushing out of Neuilly. My host family had discussed with me the roads in Paris before, but I hadn't actually driven out of the city before today. We took the circular highway to Versailles that revolves around all of Paris, containing different exits here and there for a myriad of other cities. The apartments throughout Versailles were built during Louis XIV's reign, so none of them reached or surpassed the height of his castles. We realized the weather was much nicer than the entire previous week of wind and rain. The sun gradually peeked out behind the dreariness as we began to walk through the gardens of Louis XIV behind his golden, Roman/Greek-inspired castle. The gold-plated fountains and gates that surround the property, along with the embellishments of Louis's face with sun rays around it represent the name he used to carry: "The King of the Sun". His court used to pay him almost too much attention throughout his daily life, because of how much he was worshipped by his people. In fact, they used to watch him eat, sleep, and wake up each day. In his castle, his rooms, or apartments, are plastered with murals from the time period, some of which are based on various Greek myths or gods. For example, there are rooms designed for certain goddesses such as Venus and Diana. One of the most stunning rooms in the castle was the Hall of Mirrors, which was filled with reflective glass and big windows looking onto the gardens; the mirrors helped the light reflect and fill the room as it entered from the back.
Once we were done walking through the castle, we drove to a famous, nearby market where we bought fresh, organic food for our upcoming lunch. The markets are very different here than from ones we have at home. They are very loud and filled to the brim with people, and they have just about any fresh food you are looking for. My host family is very fond of French cheese, so I tried a few different kinds, some of which smelled better than others. The sellers here were all constantly yelling and publicizing their own produce as if there was a competition between each other. Meanwhile, my senses were competing between smelling the various foods, listening to the voices filling the city, and holding onto Lise's arm so that I didn't fall behind in the market maze. When our list was finally checked off, we returned to Neuilly to enjoy our upcoming, delicious lunch.

It could be that Van Noy was sort of coasting along figuring that he would be okay, but then when traded realized that he could easily be out of a (very well paying) job if he didn't start putting in the effort. Coaching: JBK touched on this, but beyond just the 'system', the style of a coach might very well be able to push the right buttons with a guy that the previous coach just wasn't doing right. This is a credit to the new coaching staff of course, but also a mark against the old staff. It could be that the old staff was just giving up too early on a guy and assuming he wasn't going to amount to much when a different approach with him might have gotten more out of him. Culture: I certainly don't think culture is everything in a sport franchise, but I also believe it's part of it... If you're a Lions fan you expect them to be mediocre at best. I'm sure that feeling exists to some extent inside the team as well. No, it isn't logical, but it still exists. Move from a team that's won one playoff game in 60+ years to a team that is in the SB 5 of the last 10 times... well, that's going to rub off on you a bit. Honestly, it's probably some combination of all of these things put together, but it does make me feel like the Lions may have given up too early on Van Noy, especially given their lack of depth at LB, which is sorta what I said at the beginning of this thread. 1. He is a backup. In Detroit he was drafted to high & too much was expected .. injuries didn't help. 2. The overall talent in NE is vastly superior, which means he has to make fewer plays that determine their success. So when he does make a play, it sticks out.

One year ago in March 2016, a law was passed in Guatemala to create a special body designed to search for disappeared women, but it has still not been implemented, as 428 women are still reported missing.
Peace Hasn't Dismantled Patriarchy and Femicide in Guatemala
The Public Ministry and women's groups are still working on a draft to submit to Guatemala's government outlining the mechanisms that allow the search body to function in practice.
The composition of search teams remains "an important part to work on," said Alejandra Gonzalez, head of the Women's Office at the Public Ministry, "although we agree that the experts are the police officers."
According to the official estimate issued by the National Police, 3,670 women were reported disappeared between Jan. 1, 2007, and March 1, 2017, including 428 who have yet to be found.
The most affected departments are Guatemala City, Escuintla, Chimaltenango, Huehuetenango and Suchitepequez.
Plagued by a legacy of brutal military violence, especially violence against Indigenous women, Guatemala continues to suffer a gender violence crisis. Many women in the Central American country are still struggling for justice in decades-old cases, as femicide has again risen in recent years.
According to official figures, over 5,000 women and girls were violently killed in Guatemala between 2008 and 2015, with over half of the victims being minors.
Femicides in Latin America
In November 2015, a group of 60 Guatemalan women's organizations condemned the serious deterioration of women's rights under former President Otto Perez Molina from 2012 to 2015.
According to activists, militarization is one of the key factors behind the criminalization of gender rights advocates, which often results in violence.
According to U.N. Women in Guatemala, at least two women are violently killed in the country every day. Rampant impunity fuels the widespread crisis of femicide.
Guatemala — along with its neighboring countries El Salvador, Honduras, and Mexico — has one of the highest rates of femicide in the world.

Well, well, well… Matt Horn's blog meets an upcoming comic book movie. Seems to be a running theme, right? And I'm rollin' with it because these two forces will collide again when Warner Bros. releases "Man Of Steel" on June 14th. Before we get to MOS, I'm going to rewind a bit. Going back to the most recent Superman film and reviewing "Superman Returns".
Zack Snyder's "Man Of Steel" is just a tad over 2 weeks away from being released in the U.S. Even though "Man Of Steel" is completely unrelated to Bryan Singer's 2006 Superman interpretation "Superman Returns", I decided to refresh myself with "Superman Returns" for compare & contrast purposes for when I eventually see Zack Snyder's new Superman flick.
I'm going on record – right here, right now. In my opinion, there is a 0% chance that "Man Of Steel" is a flop. The creative team of Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan are too good to let MOS be a flop. After Bryan Singer's Superman attempt fell flat, DC & Warner Bros. realize they're up against the wall and CANNOT strikeout with Superman again, or they will completely lose interest in the property. Oh yeah, everyone's hope for a Justice League movie would evaporate too if "Man Of Steel" doesn't soar.
So let me get to the reason for this blog: Part 1 – "Superman Returns"
"Superman Returns" to me was a whole lot of nothing. I remember liking it more the previous times I watched it. Sure, we got to see Superman fly around, avert some disasters, and "save the day". But when the credits started to roll, I didn't feel like this movie took me anywhere. There wasn't really a plot, so there wasn't really a resolution. It was literally just frames with familiar characters viewers recognized from the comics books or previous movies.
I realize Bryan Singer tried to be epic, while doing his best Richard Donner impersonation with "Superman Returns", but he missed the mark big time. The third act really had no punch. Singer tries to portray Superman as the epic hero he is, by saving all of America. But only 4 or 5 characters actually even know that America is even in danger. Which doesn't have an epic ring to me. The people in Metropolis probably felt like this were just dealing with an earthquake. Granted, Superman did actually save some lives during the earthquake, but that scene didn't really add anything overly important. Just a chance for fans to see Superman use his abilities.
I guess I'm just disappointed that it's implied that Superman stands for truth, justice, and the American way. There's no journey Superman's character goes on, he's just… blah. Heaven forbid Bryan Singer actually try to develop Superman… or any of the characters for that matter.
Lois Lane was in this film because everyone knows Superman loves Lois. Jimmy Olsen was in the Daily Planet because everyone knows he works alongside Clark and Lois. Lex Luthor was in this movie because writers knew he is Superman's greatest villain. These characters all had a little interaction, but what was the purpose? Everything was just really misguided. I feel like Kevin Spacey, who worked with Bryan Singer in "The Ususal Suspects" (which I loved), must have been crazy excited to land the role of Lex Luthor, and overly bummed when he saw the final product. Spacey's life motto probably goes something like this since being in "Superman Returns": Friends don't let friends act in Bryan Singer films…
I guess the moral of this post is this: "Superman Returns" was bad and don't let Bryan Singer near any projects that have potential. I want to be excited for the next X-Men film – Days of Futures Past, but with Singer attached, its worrisome.
Go see Zack Snyder's "Man Of Steel" on June 14th!!!! I promise, you won't regret it.

Until they got the bats going, the Everett Black Sox AA American Legion team of Bryant was willing to[more] scratch out whatever they could offensively. And they were able to put together a 3-0 lead in the first two innings on just one hit. A five-run fourth blew the game up and the Sox earned a 9-1 win over the Benton Sport Shop Junior team at Bryant High School field Wednesday night.
Jason Hastings and Trevor Ezell each had two hits in the game as the Sox improved to 2-0 on the season. Ezell, who was on base all five times he came to the plate in the team's opener at Hot Springs Village, reached in three of his four plate appearances as the Sox lead-off man against Benton.
Hastings and Chase Tucker each drove in two runs and Cody Gogus was on base three times.
On the mound, the trio of Zach Cambron, Justin Emmerling and Devin Dupree combined to limit Sport Shop to just two hits in the five-inning contest.
Cambron shut out Benton over the first two innings, though he allowed three walks. Meanwhile, Everett scratched out its lead. In the first, Wes Akers drew a two-out walk and stole second. Benton pitcher Ashton Holyfield got within a strike of getting out of the inning but his 1-2 pitch was pounded by Cody Gogus for a long double to right-center. Akers was able to score easily to make it 1-0.
In the second, the Sox got some help but forced some of it by hustling on the bases. With one out, Austin Caldwell tapped to third resulting a wild throw to first. Caldwell went to second and, when the throw there was not handled cleanly, he dashed on to third. Korey Thompson got ahead in the count 2-1 then perfectly placed a squeeze bunt. Holyfield charged off the mound to field the ball, then tried to flip it to his catcher Clay Holicer. But the toss sailed past Holicer and Caldwell scored easily as Thompson sprinted to second.
He would do a little more sprinting moments later when Trey Breeding got a bunt down to the left of the mound. Again Holyfield got to the ball and fired to first for the out. Thompson, on the run as Holyfield pitched, rounded third and never stopped. He slid safely home as Benton first baseman Ian Allred failed to get off a throw.
With a 3-0 lead, Cambron returned to the mound in the third. He induced a grounder to short by Allred but then hit Hunter McDade with a pitch. McDade stole second as the count went to 3-2 on Holicer. The next pitch, Holicer drove into the gap in left-center for an RBI double, Benton's first hit of the game.
Emmerling came on to relieve Cambron. Wesley Ramsey got a bunt down and reached safely on an errant throw. With Holyfield at the plate, Ramsey stole second. Emmerling then picked Holicer off third. After a brief rundown, Breeding, the Bryant catcher, made the tag then threw to Akers at third as Ramsey wandered off second too far. He tried to scramble back but Akers' throw to Thompson nabbed him for an unusual 1-5-2-5-4 doubleplay to end the inning.
The Sox were unable to add to their lead in the bottom of the inning. In the top of the fourth, Holyfield was back up and he walked on four pitches. Dupree was called to the mound to face Lucas Ward who greeted him with a line drive. But Hastings speared the ball and caught Holyfield off first for a doubleplay.
Austin Sheridan followed with a single but Dupree struck out Jay Davies to end the inning. He would fan two more in a 1-2-3 top of the fifth before the Sox made it a run-rule win in the bottom of the fifth.
The fourth-inning uprising started with a walk to Thompson. He was forced at second on Zach Graddy's comebacker to Allred, the new Benton pitcher. But Ezell lined one down the right-field line for a double that chased Graddy home all the way from first.
With two down, Akers and Gogus drew walks to load the bags for Tucker who parachuted a hit into shallow right-center to drive in two. Hastings followed with a single down the left-field line to knock in two more. Harrison cracked a double but Allred wriggled out of the inning at that point, getting Thompson to fly out to center.
A run away from a run-rule win, it didn't take Bryant long to end it in the bottom of the fifth. Graddy singled. With Caldwell, in as a courtesy runner, on the move, Ezell laced one to the corner in left. Caldwell scored easily to clinch the win.
The team was set to travel to a tournament at Jonesboro High School on Friday. The Sox open against the Jonesboro Hurricanes at 8 p.m.

text: October 30, 2015 Congestion on Canadian highways is having a significant negative economic impact on major Canadian cities. Rather than face the political challenge of introducing road tolls to discourage traffic, governments have chosen to build carpool lanes on urban highways, despite evidence that these lanes have limited effectiveness in curbing congestion. Ben will present a case for converting existing and planned carpool lanes to high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes, giving drivers the choice of using them or free lanes. Policymakers in major Canadian cities need realistic options for reducing the economic cost of congestion and increasing revenue for transportation infrastructure; converting carpool to HOT lanes would fit those needs.

Please join me in welcoming fellow Black Rose Writer Joe Swope to Britbear's Book Reviews. Today I interview Joe and his novel, Pleasant Valley Lost for my author feature.
Set amid the turbulent times of the late 1960s, Pleasant Valley Lost chronicles the last days of a family dairy farm condemned to destruction by a federal dam project. As the family struggles to find a new home and build their future, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers moves into Pleasant Valley, ruthlessly destroying a community and its history. Pleasant Valley Lost is based on the true story surrounding the author's childhood farm. Originally part of the estate of Pennsylvania's fifth governor, the farm had been in the Swope family since 1939 and was located in one of the most fertile areas of the region. Pleasant Valley Lost also recounts the family's long- suffering devotion to baseball and the Philadelphia Phillies. Following many years of losing seasons, the Phillies finally provided cause for celebration when they claimed their first World Series title in 1980. Today, Pleasant Valley and the Swope farm are submerged under the Blue Marsh Dam.
Buy Pleasant Valley Lost by Joseph J. Swope at Black Rose Writing.
Welcome, Joe.
Your website describes Pleasant Valley Lost as "a work of narrative non-fiction, a family memoir written in the format of a traditional novel". What inspired you to write about this topic?
Our historic family farm, handed down from my grandfather to my father, was originally part of the estate of Pennsylvania's fifth governor. Our farm was in the heart of Pleasant Valley, an agricultural community with roots that dated into the early 1700s. In the early 1960s, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers designated the area as the site of a federal dam project. The Corps allowed the area to hang in uncertainty for more than a decade, but when they did begin the condemnation and acquisition proceedings, they did so ruthlessly and heartlessly. The Corps did their best to erase the history of the community. I've been trying to find the right way to tell this story for more than 30 years. Finally, in 2013, a local gallery ran an exhibit on the lost landscape beneath the Blue Marsh Dam that drew record crowds. At that point, I finally found the voice I needed to tell the story this region deserved.
Your homepage displays some amazing photographs and paintings. Can you talk a little bit about the selection process for the graphics on your site?
I've been really fortunate in locating the images that represent the Pleasant Valley region. The watercolor painting of our farm, which is also on the cover of the book, was done by a local artist in the early 1970s when it was clear the area was doomed to destruction. The painting has graced my mother's living room wall for more than 40 years. There's an aerial photo of the farm, which I didn't even know existed until the gallery exhibit.
I also have a pretty extensive photographic background, and it's come in handy. A number of photographs from the farm were in pretty bad shape until I copied and enhanced them. I also took a number of original images as part of my master's degree project on the American independent farmer, and they're represented on my website as well.
Your story sounds like an incredible personal journey. What about the characters you created. Are they fictional or based in reality? Talk a bit about the character you describe as a "mentally-challenged handyman".
Adam was indeed real. He came to our farm at about the same time I was born and lived with my parents into the 1990s. Adam is an amazingly complex character and represented one of the real challenges in writing my book. He was incredibly strong, gruff and rough-hewn, but capable of surprising acts of kindness. There's a scene in the book – which is based on a real incident – where my younger brother is attacked by a hive of bees far from the farmhouse. Adam carried him from deep in the fields to the house, reassuring him the entire time.
The real difficult aspect of portraying Adam was his language. When my 81-year-old mother read the first draft of my book, she asked: "Can you use words like that in a book?" Then, she acknowledged that "Adam never did say a sentence without swearing." Adam's profanity – in both English and Pennsylvania Dutch – was an integral part of my childhood and his relationship with my family, especially my father. You just can't realistically portray Adam without swearing nearly every other word. It may become a sticking point with some readers, but there was no other way to paint a realistic picture of him.
It's great that you stayed true to his character.
You describe the late 60s and early 70s as "turbulent times". What did you experience during this time (besides the events chronicled in the book) that lead you to describe the time period this way?
My parents weren't particularly political, but there was no way to escape the realities of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Vietnam, the civil rights movement, the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard Nixon and Watergate, the suburbanization of America that led to the decline of the inner cities . . . there was no escaping the cataclysmic shifts taking place in the United States and across the world. It was the first time that the definition of what was "right" was subject to argument, and it seeped through every part of society: in school, in church, at home. Pleasant Valley Lost isn't directly about these cultural shifts, but they are used as a backdrop to the events occurring in our community.
When did you first know you wanted to be a writer? What's the first thing you remember writing about?
I was fortunate to discover my love of writing early. As early as sixth and seventh grade, my writing skills began to shine. By eighth grade, I had fully learned the power of words. We had a demerit system in our school, and one of our teachers would come into class and read off a list of students with the number of demerits each had received. It was a ridiculous number – some received 30 or 40 demerits at a time without explanation. So I wrote a parody story for the school newspaper that turned the demerit system into a race, listing the leaders and their strategies for winning. The story got censored, but the system got changed. That was when I knew I could make a difference with words.
Talk a bit about your career as a public relations professional, educator and writer and how (or if) it's influenced your writing.
I always wanted a career where my writing skills played a major role, and the public relations profession has been the perfect avenue. One of the best things about a public relations career is that I never have two days that are the same. I think my career as a PR professional and my adjunct university teaching efforts have influenced my writing in complementary ways, since in many cases I'm teaching at night what I practice during the day.
A couple of specific lessons come through in my writing style. First, be clear and to the point. There's an old journalistic axiom that says: "The Declaration of Independence, the first chapter of the Book of Genesis and the Gettysburg Address are all less than 1500 words." In fact, the Gettysburg Address is less than 300 words. You can say a lot in a short amount of time.
Second, bring your scene to life. You very quickly learn that the man wasn't driving a car fast. Instead, a 37-year-old clean-shaven white man with medium-length brown hair was driving a red 2007 Chevrolet Impala at over 80 miles per hour. Details are everything.
Third, satisfy the reader with an appropriate ending. I've always found that I can't write a story without having the beginning and the end. I'll figure out the middle along the way. But too many great ideas go unfulfilled. One of the things about journalism and public relations is you tell the end of the story up right up front. You tell readers what happened, then go back and explain why in the trusty inverted pyramid style of writing. I don't write my books that way, but it does remind me of the importance of the ending!
That's great advice.
You recently posted on Facebook that your publisher, Black Rose Writing reported that Pleasant Valley Lost has shattered all of the previous pre-order records for sales on their website. What marketing tactics did you use that helped you to accomplish this amazing feat?
While my campaign was a solid public relations campaign, I really didn't do anything remarkable. The biggest thing that contributed to the success of Pleasant Valley Lost is that it has tremendous appeal to those who remember the area before the dam. As I mentioned earlier, the gallery display in 2013 attracted record crowds and had to be extended three weeks to accommodate the demand. One of the great things about Berks County, Pennsylvania is that its residents take great pride in local history, and a number of people have thanked me for this contribution.
That being said, I launched a Facebook author page, a website and promoted Pleasant Valley Lost on Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr and Google+. One thing that most people don't recognize about Google+ is that it significantly helps your search ratings on Google (marketing secret revealed!).
I had bookmarks printed and distributed them freely, trying to enhance word of mouth. I shot a short video trailer that I've received a lot of compliments about as being genuine and heartfelt. That's on YouTube and linked to all my other social channels.
I also have a good relationship with a number of local media, and I received coverage on the local community access channel as well as a chain of weekly newspapers. The biggest boost, however, was a section-front story in the Reading Eagle, the daily newspaper in Berks County. They focused on the local history angle, and the story came out three days before the book's release. The tremendous coverage served as an amazing catalyst for the launch of the book.
That's amazing. I think the print media and press are great tools that so many of us either forget about, or have difficulty accessing.
Another of your Facebook posts says it took you two years to see Pleasant Valley Lost from start to finish. Describe your writing process for us.
I have to ruminate on my story for a long time before I put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). As I mentioned earlier, I have to know my beginning and ending before I start, plus some vague direction of how I'll get from A to B. I have a lot of handwritten notes laying all over the place, then I finally sit down and start writing. One of the things I discovered in writing a book was there was too much to keep in my head (old age, I guess), so I started doing a chapter outline, which grew and grew as the book progressed. It kept me on track.
The thing about Pleasant Valley Lost is it actually took much longer to write than two years. I started writing about Pleasant Valley in my freshman year in college, and there's a couple of lines from that initial essay that made it into the book. I did a lot of research on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for an Environment Science class, and more when I wrote my master's degree project. After graduating from college, I wrote several pieces on the Blue Marsh Dam for local newspapers and magazines. I started a book numerous times, but never could get very far.
After the gallery exhibit, which actually used a number of materials I had collected, I started again. I made two major decisions that made the book work. First, I decided to write in first person (which I NEVER do!) to give the story the intimacy and emotion it deserved. Second, I compressed the time frame to focus primarily on 1968 to 1972. The book actually extends to 1980 (the dam was completed in 1979), but the major action takes place in four years. It took me 37 years to get it right, but I finally had a vision that worked!
What research did you have to do while writing Pleasant Valley Lost? What is the most interesting thing you learned as a result of your research?
I actually needed to do a ton of research. As I mentioned, I had extensively researched the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and discovered that Pleasant Valley was not the only victim of their voracious appetite to flood America. They have left a string of questionable dam projects that have destroyed communities across the country.
In writing the book, I had to go back and research the events of the late 1960s and early 1970s. It was a history-changing time – the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy; the election of Richard Nixon as president and the subsequent Watergate scandal; Vietnam; the civil rights movement; the first Moon landing . . .All these things happened in the timeframe of my book.
The second thing that took some work was the cultural changes across the country. There's one scene that depicts New Year's Eve 1968 leading into 1969. Who was on TV that year? Guess what, it wasn't Dick Clark. It was Guy Lombardo and his big band. When did suburban shopping malls begin to carve into the shopping meccas of the inner cities? My mother is a devout Catholic – when did Saturday night Mass start? Again, all these things came into place during that timeframe, and I tried to get as much right as possible.
What's next for Joe Swope, author? Tell us about your current work in progress.
Well, as usual, I have multiple projects and not enough time to tackle them. I'm working on a children's book , something that I've always wanted to do since I have six kids ranging from ages 5-24 I can't draw a stick figure to save my life, so I've recruited my oldest daughter, an artist and architect, to illustrate it.
I've also been approached by a publisher of professional books to consider writing a book on public relations practice for beginners. I'm on the outline stage of that project.
I have a fantasy book in various stages of construction and a pretty solid outline for a science fiction novel. Fantasy and Sci-Fi have always been my first loves, so at some point, I want to re-visit those genres. I also have an idea of a re-telling of the Arthurian legend.
Finally, I'd love to re-visit Pleasant Valley one day and write a prequel. I'd call it Pleasant Valley Alive and show the community while it was flourishing, before the entrance by the Corps of Engineers. But I have to interview people soon. Most of the people who remember Pleasant Valley at its height are in their 80s and 90s, and won't be around forever. My uncle will turn 97 this spring. He's still sharp as a tack. He'd be a great resource.
So all in all, I have enough projects for the next 10 years. Now just to find the time.
Best of luck with Pleasant Valley Lost and all of your future endeavours, Joe. How can interested readers discover more about you and you work?

About Joe Swope (from Amazon Author Page):
Joseph J. Swope has been writing both fiction and non-fiction since high school. Swope has enjoyed an award-winning career in public relations spanning more than 30 years in both higher education and corporate settings.
He is currently the Communications Manager for UGI Utilities, Inc., a natural gas and electric utility based in Reading, PA. Swope has also served as an adjunct faculty member at Alvernia University since 1982.
Pleasant Valley Lost is Swope's first book, and it chronicles the last days of his historic family farm before its condemnation and acquisition for a federal dam project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Swope farm and the rest of Pleasant Valley eventually became the Blue Marsh Dam in 1979.
The story also documents the family's long-suffering devotion to the woebegone Philadelphia Phillies of the late 1960s and early 1970s, a loyalty that finally paid off in a World Championship in 1980.
Swope is a lifelong resident of Berks County, Pennsylvania, and he and his family reside outside Bernville, just a few miles from the Blue Marsh Dam. He never visits the complex.

Diabetes is a chronic condition where an individual's body cannot maintain healthy levels of glucose in the blood. Unhealthy blood glucose levels can lead to a variety of long term and short term problems. Glucose is a type of sugar, and is the body's main source of energy. To function properly, our bodies require sugars (glucose) to be converted into energy. The hormone, insulin, is essential for the conversion of glucose to energy, and is therefore responsible for stabilizing the amount of sugar in the blood. People with diabetes tend to have insufficient insulin levels which results in a build-up of glucose in the blood. There are three main types of diabetes:
- Type 1 diabetes: With this type of diabetes, the body's immune system attacks and destroys cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. It is an autoimmune condition, and the cause of this reaction is currently unknown. This type is less common than type 2 diabetes (affecting approximately 10% of people), and usually occurs before the age of 40. People with this type of diabetes have to depend on insulin injections
Foods for Detoxing
Detoxing is a not an easy business, especially when it comes to deciding what to eat.

And your detox diet can be easily integrated into your family's dietary requirements. Focus on eating fresh foods that are simple to prepare and easy for your body to digest, absorb and eliminate.
So what can you eat while detoxing?
Here's a list of delicious hearty foods to put on your next shopping list. Asparagus protects the liver from toxins and acts as a natural diuretic to help flush toxins from your body.

These preemptory procedures price a lot lower than fixing one drawback. John Hait, in his well-known e-book on Passive Annual Heat Storage (PAHS), describes 4 strategies of heat transfer. Most individuals point out simply three. The fourth method, most important to earth-sheltered houses, is warmth transportation. Heat transportation occurs primarily when water, usually chilly, flows near the structure's partitions and roof and sucks up your rooms' valuable warmth. Then you have to regularly add extra warmth and take away extra moisture if the roof and walls leak as properly.

The Falcons are having talks with StriVR Labs, a virtual reality company with software that allows players a 3-D look at live action from practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The Falcons are very interested in the new technology, but have not reached an official agreement with the company, according to the firm.
If a deal is reached, the Falcons would join the Dallas Cowboys as the only NFL teams using a drone to film part of their practices and use virtual reality to help their players improvement .
Clemson, Vanderbilt, Arkansas and Auburn have used the technology that was developed former Stanford kicker Derek Belch.
Under Falcons general manager Thomas Domitroff, the franchise has looked to technology to help improve player performance.
Back in 2011, the Falcons and Polar USA entered into an agreement to use heart rate monitors to establish work load and peak efficiency times.
"We will always be an organization that will attempt to be on the front end of the learning curve when it comes to nutrition, sports science, and the athletic performance of our athletes," Dimitroff said at the time of the deal. "Because of the cutting-edge Polar technology, we are now able to closely monitor our players to ensure they perform at a very high level as well as taking the necessary steps to properly recover."
In 2013, the Falcons entered into an agreement with Catapult, an Australian company, to provide them with GPS athlete tracking technology.
At that time, the devices were used by seven other NFL teams to monitor athlete movement and they let the team know how hard each player is working.
In 2014, the Falcons entered into a deal with Sparta Sports Science to develop an athletic performance program based on "force plate" technology.

Sheffield City Region has revealed its exciting itinerary for MIPIM, the world's largest annual property conference to be held in Cannes (12-15 March 2019). This includes an extensive programme over the three-day event, with inspirational speakers who are leaders in their respective industries, which is set to generate interest from global investors and developers who attend.
Mayor Dan Jarvis' vision for a Global Innovation Corridor is set to be the main focus for Sheffield City Region (SCR) as it aims to form business relationships, attract investment and showcase the region on a global stage at the conference. Through the Global Innovation Corridor, SCR aims to grow the region's advanced manufacturing, wellbeing and digital clusters, underpinned by reliable, green and highly-connected transport infrastructure.
The Global Innovation Corridor will link assets such as the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District, the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Sheffield Hallam University's Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre, the Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park, the National College for High Speed Rail, Barnsley's Digital Media Centre and Doncaster Sheffield Airport. As a result, the Global Innovation Corridor will be a magnet for people, industry and innovators from across the world.
Sir Nigel Knowles, special advisor on international trade and investment to Mayor Jarvis, said: "As we build our vision for a Global Innovation Corridor connecting people, places and ideas, MIPIM provides an excellent opportunity to engage with international partners – and forge new investment partnerships."
He adds: "MIPIM provides an annual opportunity to bring together the best of the private and public sectors in our region, and unites them to show the world what makes Sheffield City Region such an attractive place to live, work and invest in. We have a packed programme of events set to inspire investors and developers and I'm therefore delighted to be leading the SCR delegation once again."
Sheffield City Region's action-packed programme at MIPIM will showcase the very best that the region has to offer and the investment and development opportunities that exist. Highlights include the Northern Powerhouse panel session, which features Sheffield City Region alongside partners including Leeds City Region; the launch of the Global Innovation Corridor and a seminar focusing on Innovation-led growth.
Owen Michaelson, Chief Executive Officer at Harworth Group plc, one of SCR's sponsors at MIPIM, said: "The region has a big story to tell in two respects; the quality of the assets it has at its disposal including the Advanced Manufacturing Park and Doncaster Sheffield Airport, alongside what it contributes to the quality of discussion and key policy matters such as placemaking and infrastructure.
"Land and property-related businesses in the region should therefore not underestimate just how important MIPIM is in establishing and refining potential deals and cultivating new relationships. Being part of a wider delegation helps this process and we recommend others join us in sponsoring the region to promote its assets and expertise."
One of the partners joining the Sheffield City Region this year is Sheffield Hallam University. Director of estates Daniel Ladbury said: "We are committed to the Sheffield City Region, providing leadership to drive improvements in social mobility, health and the economy. Our industrial partnerships allow us to address the skills gap and helps business grow and our research is characterised by a focus on real world impact – addressing the health, cultural, economic and social challenges facing society today.
"Our property developments will support these ambitions by creating exciting new spaces for students, staff, visitors and businesses to better engage with the University and each other, supporting the activity of the City Region.
"MIPIM provides us with an invaluable opportunity to showcase this work to a global audience and champion the Sheffield City Region as a strong proposition in which to live, work, learn and invest."
Matt Hutton, associate director at Bond Bryan, said: "Bond Bryan has worked within and alongside the Sheffield City Region for the last 30 years. Our heritage began in Sheffield and we continue to work extensively in the region. We are incredibly proud to be supporting SCR again this year as they continue to develop an increasingly engaging plan for our region.
"MIPIM is about being surrounding by like-minded professionals who strive to drive growth in our region; it's invaluable to be able to get a wider perspective on where the market is heading and to build new and lasting relationships.
"Property is a 'people business' and MIPIM offers the spontaneity of engaging in discussions, informal meetings and chance encounters in a relaxed atmosphere. Overall there is a universal openness to new people and opportunities which is really refreshing and is reflective of the confidence within Sheffield City Region at the moment. It's a truly exciting time."

How to Develop Leaders in Your Small Group
Overcoming our own barriers as leaders
October 02, 2018Print this article
In order to fulfill God's calling, we need to be serious about developing believers and preparing them to disciple, teach, and lead others. This series focuses on two key areas in developing others in a small group setting: 1. Overcoming an unhealthy reliance on ourselves and 2. Seeing and calling out potential in others.
Healthy things grow. This is true in the physical world and true in the spiritual world. It is true of individuals and true of organizations, ministries, and churches. In fact, we know from Scripture that God designed the church to grow (Acts 2:46-47 and I Corinthians 3:5-7).
Growth in ministry is good. It can be exciting and energizing, but if we are honest, growth can also be extremely challenging. What happens when you are not ready for the growth? What if you cannot keep up with all the opportunities to teach, lead, and disciple?
Entrusted to Equip Others
In the past few years of leading the adult small group ministry at my local church, I have found that growth catches most leaders off guard. I have seen this scenario play out over and over: a group is healthy and full of life. The leader does an amazing job and the people in the group are growing spiritually. Suddenly they have 20-25 people in their home every week, and even more people want to come. The signs are clear it is time to expand and create more groups. There is only one problem. They cannot identify a new leader. There is no one who feels comfortable, confident, or is willing to lead a new group.
As spiritual leaders, there is a tendency to be so focused on taking care of and teaching people that we neglect a vital part of our leadership responsibility. The Bible teaches us that those who are entrusted with leadership in the church have the assignment to equip believers to be a part of building up and serving other believers.
"It was he who 'gave gifts to people'; he appointed some to be apostles, others to be prophets, others to be evangelists, others to be pastors and teachers. He did this to prepare all God's people for the work of Christian service, in order to build up the body of Christ" (Ephesians 4:11-12).
Overcoming Common Misconceptions
Equipping leaders begins with overcoming an unhealthy reliance on ourselves. One of the biggest barriers to investing in potential leaders comes from the way we think about our own leadership. If we have an improper perspective about our own role, it will not only limit our ministry, but it will also limit the people we are leading. Here are a few common misconceptions that leaders need to overcome to be successful in developing others.
1. If I can't do it all, I am failing.
There is a big difference between being a responsible leader and being personally responsible for everything. Too often we view asking for help as a sign of weakness, but the reality is that involving others is a mark of great leadership. When you are feeling overwhelmed or unable to keep up with all the responsibilities of leading your small group, instead of seeing it as a sign you are doing something wrong, see it as an opportunity to include others. Look for areas that you can allow others to begin to lead such as organizing activities, leading the prayer time, caring for group members, or leading the small group discussion. Remember, God often puts us in a place that stretches us in order to remind us that we cannot do it on our own. We are designed to depend on God and depend on others.
2. If I don't do it myself, it won't get done right.
It is easy to think we would be happy to let others lead, if only we could trust them to do things correctly, when what we feel is that the only way to ensure something is done right is to do it on our own. This kind of thinking is not only prideful, it is very limiting. If you do not involve others, you will hold your group back from growing. I have heard it said that if someone can do something even 50% as well as you can do it, you should let them do it. Look at Jesus's example. Even though no one could match Jesus's ability to teach and care for people, over and over he assigned his disciples these tasks. Even though it can be scary to entrust ministry to someone else, remember our goal is not perfection, it is discipling people and that always involves letting go of personal control.
3. It's not fair to expect someone else to take on more responsibility.
One of the most dangerous things you can do as a leader is to say someone else's "no" for them. Because we know firsthand the work and sacrifice that goes into leading a small group, sometimes we are hesitant to ask other people to commit to leading alongside us. While we may think we are being considerate, we have to remember that in our effort to protect them we may be robbing them of an amazing opportunity. God has designed each person to serve and live out a specific calling. As leaders, we should be looking for ways to help others embrace that calling. Instead of assuming someone is too busy or won't be interested, we need to present them with an opportunity and allow them to seek God and decide.
As you grow in leadership and as your small group grows in maturity, don't miss out on your calling to develop leaders. God has not only called you to disciple and teach, but you are called to develop others to disciple and teach.

10. Brad's Status
Mike White's meditation on jealousy is pitch-perfectly narrated and embodied by Ben Stiller, this decade's token actor for portraying white male neurosis and guilt. Despite its limited perspective, Brad's Status shares a universal understanding of grappling with issues about self-worth, our significance and the very human desire for comparison, over the course of a father-son college tour. In the tone of White's television series Enlightened, the movie embraces the anxieties of its protagonist, allowing us to embrace ours, too.
9. The Work
This is a documentary that will wreck you, though not exactly in the way that its subjects are wrecked. Filmed over the course of four days in a single room at Folsom State Prison, The Work follows an intense therapy session with a group mixed of convicts and civilian men. It's a program that takes place twice a year at the prison and asks those participating to drop all their gang affiliations and prejudices in order to peel back the toxic layers of their manhood and arrive at an elemental truth about themselves and others. Nothing can really prepare you for how these interactions and sessions take place, but they demonstrate the depths of pain and fractured foundations many men have endured over their life. It's an agonizingly emotional experience to watch others uncover.
8. Columbus
An enhanced focus on the aesthetic has the tendency to sacrifice the resonance of the story it's trying to tell. Not the case in Columbus, one of the most beautiful, and beautifully shot, movies of the year for its particular attention to how each can simultaneously inform the other. As envisioned by Kogonada, making his feature debut, the movie connects — listens, observes, follows — John Cho and Haley Lu Richardson in the architectural hotbed of Columbus, Indiana, as they share their lives over long walks while caring for their parents. The conversations are quiet and painful and intellectual. Richardson spends one scene explaining her love for a particular building in town, but Kogonada films it in silence. You are forced to watch her body language instead, a visual that says everything you can't hear. It's sometimes all you need.
7. Get Out
Arguably the biggest surprise of the year, Get Out is an exhilarating combination of humor, horror and, yes, social critique, which never lectures its virtues. In other words, it's an entertainment from beginning to end from a director, Jordan Peele, whose touch and craft significantly enhance its most memorable and iconic imagery. Get Out has achieved an astonishing amount of faces and phrases — Daniel Kaluuya's frozen mug, The Sunken Place — that have permeated everyday culture, a testament to its relevance and stable of remarkable performances.
6. Personal Shopper
Oliver Assayas' follow-up to Clouds Of Sils Maria ponders death and the presence of the afterlife in the style of a chilly thriller and slow-building mystery. Kristen Stewart lives in Paris as a medium and personal shopper, convinced her recently deceased brother is trying to get in touch with her. The movie's moment of extreme fascination comes through an iPhone's text bubbles, as she messages with what she believes could be her brother's ghost. You're never certain about this lonely young woman's mental state and yet the movie's precise attention to detail — the suspense of the occult always lurking — provides a window into the process of grief and feeling connected to what's beyond our sight.
5. Call Me By Your Name
Luca Guadagnino makes the kind of movies that you want to live inside of. This is partly — well, mostly — because he shoots in the luxurious, sun-drenched vistas of the Mediterranean, as he does here. The sensual pleasures of Northern Italy in Call Me By Your Name though, serve as the crucial, seductive backdrop and foundation for the romance between Timothee Chalamet's and Armie Hammer's characters. Their relationship, which takes place in 1983, takes its time developing and then offers the inevitable heartbreak attached to summer's end. Michael Stuhlbarg, playing Chalamet's father, delivers a monologue near the end of the movie that conjures instant tears, if they haven't already been flowing to the accompaniment of Sufjan Stevens' songs.
4. The Florida Project
Sean Baker's films examine the marginalized, underrepresented, and forgotten parts of society. In The Florida Project, he highlights those living in poverty alongside the Kissimmee, Florida, highways, those residing in extended-stay motels in the shadow of Disney World. Instead of living at the top of a crystal palace, however, six-year old Moonnee (Brooklyn Prince) calls the third floor of The Magic Castle her home. The camera hovers around her height and follows the hijinx and burdens she and her friends find living in a community of single mothers and fathers scraping for money and for a better life. It's a profoundly serene, colorful and melancholy landscape of survival.
3. Phantom Thread
If his work hasn't already been overstated, Daniel Day-Lewis (allegedly) ends his acting career with one of the most detailed and rich performances he's committed to screen. Director Paul Thomas Anderson has made a mesmerizing movie about the obsessive nature of humans in relation to their work, and it couldn't be more fitting that Day-Lewis is involved as its central figure of dedicated meticulousness and method. As a dressmaker in 1950s London, his world is one of order and control that is tested repeatedly by the women in his life — his wife and sister — who form a captivating and confounding love triangle. Phantom Thread might be best interpreted as a comedy, a natural inclination once you're wrapped up in the absurdity of its specificity and interiority in the pursuit of sartorial creation.
2. Lady Bird
In one sense, Lady Bird does not exactly boast new material. It follows a high school girl through her senior year — chasing boys, falling in love, breaking up, arguing with mom, participating in school functions, laughing and crying with a best friend — and the emotional collateral attached to it. In another sense, it resists and transcends every well-mined trope and becomes something extraordinary. Greta Gerwig's directorial debut and semi-autobiographical story is a summation of her clear, spirited grasp of human behavior and feeling. The mother-daughter drama at its center is latent with anxieties about class status and letting go. It treats both figures — Lady Bird, played by Saoirse Ronan, and her mother, by Laurie Metcalf — with empathy, creating a moving portrait of love and perspective and its evolution over time.
1. The Lost City Of Z
It seems as though only director James Gray can match the ambition of his characters with his own as a filmmaker. In this case, he subjects himself to the South American jungles, where his protagonist, English soldier Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), navigates with endless curiosity and purpose the uncharted territories of a country yet to be explored by a Colonist country. At once a tale of personal obsession to discover a fairytale land and a historical perspective of the radical endeavor to profess the dignity and personhood of the native tribes inhabiting the rainforests, The Lost City Of Z stands as a grand achievement. As is typical with Gray, it also showcases a signature final shot worthy of everything seen before it.

Merrow Ignores Charter School Efforts to Clean House

RCEd Commentary
Former PBS NewsHour education correspondent John Merrow is ignoring what's actually happening in American education.
Merrow recently called out leaders in the charter school movement for not doing enough to protect the charter "brand" from the bad behavior of the worst actors in the sector. He even suggested that these leaders create a "Hall of Shame" for the perpetrators. But Merrow, who recently reported on a number of stories highlighting problems in charter schools, is not listening. Far from being silent, charter advocates from Education Secretary Arne Duncan to national and state organizations regularly call out failure and inappropriate behavior.
And they do more than just talk about accountability. In the last five years, more than 1,100 charter schools were closed because of low-performance or mismanagement, according to Washington, D.C. nonprofit Bellwether Education Partners. That's approximately 16 percent of today's 6,700 charter schools. So, not only do people in the charter sector call out failure, they actually cull it out.
In the traditional public school world, "teacher bashing" is completely unacceptable. So much so that almost any discussion of the possibility that a teacher, somewhere, might be ineffective, inevitably brings down a rain of accusations of "more teacher bashing." Even worse is the chilling effect this might have on candor when truly egregious behavior is ignored or downplayed. I feel obliged to call out Merrow's request as only the latest example of extreme "charter bashing."
The double standard for honest talk about objective problems in the two sectors is so pronounced that attacks like Merrow's tend to roll off the hunched shoulders of the professionals working hard in the charter sector. Teacher bashing is taboo, but charter bashing remains a fully-endorsed, all-day, every-day, blood sport.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could agree that the people working in all our public schools -- charters and traditional public -- deserve deep respect? Just as those few that break the public's trust, regardless of the sector they work in, require our response.
Far from silent, charter leaders regularly call out failure and inappropriate behavior, just as they reasonably defend the autonomy that helps so many charter schools succeed. That is not cowardice. That is leadership in a movement that contains highly successful innovators, as well as bad actors that need to be identified and purged.
I agree with Merrow that there are examples of bad behavior in the charter school sector, and far too many leaders of both systems who are reluctant to speak to their challenges. But I hold up the charter sector for its progress toward collective responsibility. Its honest brokers deserve political support for standing up for quality, not scorn. Scorn should be reserved for the bad actors themselves. I see much less introspection among traditional school systems.
If you are looking for examples of leadership that balance urgent calls to address failure with proposals that also protect what is working, the National Association of Charter School Authorizers (my former workplace) stands out.
NACSA's One Million Lives campaign is a five-year effort designed to jumpstart an increase in closures of failing charters. NACSA called for closing the 1,000 lowest performing schools, and replacing them with 2,000 higher performing charter schools over five years. The sector has responded accordingly. Those closures don't happen by accident. NACSA has evaluated and assisted authorizers with implementing practices that help them close failing charters. I, myself, worked with colleagues at NACSA to strengthen oversight by amending laws in 15 states.
The National Alliance for Public Charter Schools also provides leadership. The organization crafted legislation for both Mississippi and Washington state that ensures that schools that fail on the state accountability system, or are in the bottom quarter of the state's accountability system, are not renewed. Unfortunately, the Washington law was held unconstitutional, among other things, for not empowering the state to oversee charter schools like other public schools -- which is pretty twisted when you consider how much higher the standard was for Washington's charters compared to traditional public schools. But regardless of the irony, these policies reflect the values of the charter sector's leadership. These are not policies of an organization unwilling to raise the bar on charter school performance.
Another example is the California Charter School Association.The CCSA annually calls for closure of California charter schools that are failing. Now, they may not identify as many low-performing schools as I would, but they are suggesting the elimination of dues-paying members that don't meet their standards. The City of Chicago also recently stepped up, announcing a new accountability framework for charters and announcing the closing of four underperforming schools.
All this is not to say that the charter sector has this figured out, or that problems are not real, or that all the stakeholders in the charter space are committed to rooting out failure or fraud. But there are important voices in the charter movement that call for action to address the sector's shortcomings. That willingness to confront and deal with problems, ironically given the criticism from Merrow, is actually one of the things in the charter sector that is special and seems to be thriving. And the leaders pushing for stronger behavior and the application of higher standards for performance deserve support, and even a little credit.
