An intellectual disability is a problem with learning or understanding things, solving problems, concentrating and remembering.
Having an intellectual disability doesn't mean you lack parenting skills or that you can't parent as well as other people.
In fact, you can do a great job of raising your children if you have:
And parenting with an intellectual disability has many rewards. These often come from the ways families and children adapt to the situation. For example, you might find that you're raising children who are very caring and kind, sensitive and responsive to the needs of others, tolerant and compassionate, mature, appreciative of their own health, responsible, independent and empathetic.
Intellectual ability or disability on its own doesn't determine a person's ability to be a good parent. It's usually more to do with the challenges that can come with having an intellectual disability. These challenges can make it harder for people to cope with looking after children.
For example, if you have an intellectual disability, you might also:
That's why parents with intellectual disability need support. Having the right support and help from other people can help parents deal with some of these extra challenges.
Worries about being judged
One of the biggest challenges people with intellectual disability face is being judged on their ability to raise their children. Other people often think that people with intellectual disability aren't capable of providing suitable care for their children because of their disability.
If you have an intellectual disability you might worry about seeking help from support services in your community. But getting support services is one of the keys to ensuring that you're the best parent to your child.
It's always OK to ask for help. Speak to your GP for more information about support services you might be able to access.

Art Dubai, the leading contemporary art fair in the Middle East returned for its 10th edition. Held at Madinat Jumeirah, the fair holds the largest and most diverse fair line-up to date, with 94 galleries from 40 countries exhibiting in the Contemporary and Modern halls. Art Dubai continues until 19 March.
"Art Dubai has come a long way over the past 10 years," says Antonia Carver, fair director, "and we're all excited to see the developments over the next decade. Our programme is unlike any other. We represent an art world that is truly global, has huge potential, and our programme foregrounds artistic discovery, ideas-generation and cultural exchange."
Now being a home to 40 different galleries, Carver says that Dubai art scene has experienced a major transformation in past ten years.
"We see new galleries opening every year and the government has been very supportive of the art scene development," adds Carver.
Art Dubai Contemporary included 76 galleries from 35 countries while Art Dubai Modern included 13 galleries from nine countries.
In its debut participation in the art fair, Dubai-based 1×1 Art gallery presented the work by six contemporary Indian artists.
"We have been in Dubai for last 20 years and we've just moved to new space recently in Al Aserkal Avenue," comments Malini Gulrajani, founder of 1×1 Art Gallery. "We used to work only with Indian artists and clients and we were quite happy working in this niche market. But recently, we have made the decision to expand our market and to do things differently. The world has changed and you have to open yourself to other areas and artists from other countries.
"Dubai art scene has changed a lot and 20 years ago it didn't even exist. We are proud of being part of that process and that change, bringing the art to the fore. Al Aserkal has a great structure and they are working hard to promote art. On the other hand, being in Dubai is a great advantage for galleries since it is in the middle of the world, you can network and work with people from anywhere."
In addition to returning to the fair's contemporary section, Ayyam Gallery presents a curated exhibition in the selected focus on seminal twentieth-century art, Art Dubai Modern.
With art spaces in Beirut and Dubai, Ayyam Gallery featured the work of Nadim Karam and Faisal Samra, two of the Arab world's foremost innovators. Lebanese artist and architect Nadim Karam unveiled at the Contemporary Gallery the Shhhhhhh…shout! installation, exploring what happens when a silence erupt into shout.
This year, Istanbul-based Sanatorium gallery featured the work from artist Ahmet Dogu İpek.
Gallery One showcased a great selection of Palestinian contemporary art by emerging Palestinian artists, including the "Universal Soldier" project by Palestinian visual artist Bashar Alhroub. His project tackles the notion of plastic toy soldier games, which are globally popular among children, as a reflection of reality in parallel to the actual soldier deployed on the ground.
"Within children who have suffered the affliction of war, such toys and games take on a different dimension," explains Alhroub. "As a result, they tend to carry a more peculiar effect on the child, especially during their awareness formation phase. Raising important questions about the soldier as the customary symbol of war the project attempts to dismantle the dominant stereotypical associations."
The first ever exhibition of its kind on the Philipines' art scene in Marker, ambitious new commission and projects, the largest non-to-profit educational programming of any international art fair worldwide and the return of the highly anticipated Global Art Forum.
Besides the gallery halls, the fair's programme included commissioned projects and performances, artists' and curators' residencies and educational workshops.
Yasmina Reggad, an independent curator and writer who works between London, Algiers and Athens explained that eight new site-specific projects have been developed this year through Art Dubai Commissions and A.i.R Dubai residencies.
Exploring the themes "The Future was", the tenth edition of the Global Art Forum was commissioned by writer Shumon Basar, with Amal Khalaf and Uzma Rizvi as co-directors and it included a series of 32 live talks, panels, and performances.
Recognised for its support of artist, the Abraj Group Art Prize invited artist from the Middle East, Noth Africa and South Asia to submit proposals for a major new commission to be produced through a $100,000 award. Curated by Nav Haq, the Abraj Group Art Prize winning artist duo Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme showcased the new commissioned work alongside three shortlisted artists Dina Danish, Mahmoud Khlaed and Basir Mahmood.

Happy Sunday, Zoners! I hope you're all enjoying a nice weekend. It's ark-building weather where I am, but you can't have everything, right? I mean, where would you put it all? Anyway… it's time for a peek at the latest Colbert news, so here's your zeitgeist for September 27th.
Colbert Report writers at the Paley Center
- For those of you in the New York area, or able to travel there, you might still be able to pick up tickets for a program featuring the TCR writers at the Paley Center for Media on Sunday, November 7 at 5:00 pm. The program is The Truthiness Behind the Lines: An In-Depth Look Behind the Scenes with The Colbert Report Writers, and it's described as a discussion of "the process of turning terrifying news into hilarious comedy."
The Emmys, and TCR's lack of them
I know that not winning an Emmy gives "Stephen" plenty to be enraged about on the show, but this year seemed to be an especially deep disappointment because they did win an award last year. Several articles about the Emmys also expressed the belief that TCR was passed over unfairly this year.
- Why does 'Amazing Race' keep winning the Emmy? Why doesn't anyone gripe about 'The Daily Show's' romp? – LA Times, The Envelope
"Oh, yeah, Stephen Colbert is also in [the best variety series] category and behind a desk, but as brilliant as his show is (clearly superior to the excellent "Daily Show," methinks), he's just too silly, so voters don't take him seriously in this program category. However, he did beat "The Daily Show" for variety writing last year, so he's a threat." (One of the comments claims that TCR "will always remain an appendage of the Daily Show." Maybe that's why the academy voters don't take it seriously enough to give them the Emmy for best variety series? I'm starting to wonder if that's the case.)
- Television Thanks You for Watching – New York Times: Mike Hale makes a passing reference to TCR's Emmy snub (emphasis mine).
"'The Daily Show's' Jon Stewart, accepting the award for variety show (snatched from the more deserving 'Colbert Report'), merely made a joke about watching the football game on NBC."
Reminiscing about Chicago
- Stars turn out to Hollywood event for Chicago's celebs – Chicago Sun Times
"At a Santa Monica hotel, R.J. Melman ran into Stephen Colbert — who reminded the son of Lettuce Entertain You founder Rich Melman that the comic had worked lunches at Lettuce's Scoozi! restaurant, back when he was starting out at Second City. "I never made more than $200 a week," zinged Colbert, who now, of course, can drop two C-notes on lunches without blinking an eye."
Interview with Kyp Malone from TV on the Radio
- Catching up with… Rain Machine's Kyp Malone – Paste magazine
"Paste: One of the great moments of TV on the Radio's appearance on The Colbert Report earlier this year was Stephen reaching over and stroking your beard. Do you feel violated?
Malone: He asked me. Being on TV maybe changed things a little bit. I don't know why exactly it does, but it does. It seemed like it would make it more compelling to say yes than to say no. We had talked a little bit beforehand. I like him as a satirist, but he also seemed like a very good person. It was very comfortable to be around him backstage."
The Psychology of Truthiness
- The Dangers of "Truthiness" (part 1 of 9) – Psychology Today, Moral Landscapes blog: This is the first installment of an examination of the concept of "truthiness," why it's bad, and how easy it is to fall into that trap. An interesting read, and not too academic.
Funny pic of the day
- I have so many jokes to go along with this pic, yet none of them are appropriate for a family-friendly blog. C'est la vie.
(h/t DB, Ms I, Jennie, Erica M. for the pic, everyone who sent the info for the Paley Center, and especially one of our international Zoners, RTS from Sri Lanka, for the link to the Kyp Malone interview)

|England cricket captain, Paul Collingwood, and Pulman SEAT Franchise Manager, Chris Slater, help unveil a mint condition SEAT Ibiza Mk1 – one of the very first SEAT models launched in the UK 25 years ago.
More than 150 people gathered at a Sunderland car dealership on Thursday evening for an exciting double celebration.
The dealership formerly known as Alexandra Bridge Cars – one of the oldest SEAT dealers in the country – hosted the lavish bash to mark 25 years with the sporty Spanish brand and, more importantly, becoming part of the Pulman family.
Now known as Pulman SEAT, the Southwick car retailer pulled out all the stops to deliver an action-packed evening of entertainment for the assembled customers and VIP guests.
Top local band The Longsands provided the soundtrack to the evening as the guests enjoyed authentic Spanish cuisine and wine and the chance to look over current SEAT models as well as a Leon touring car driven by Tom Boardman and a mint condition Mk1 Ibiza which was among the first cars launched by SEAT in the UK.
Then came the highlight of the evening – a lively question and answer session with England cricket captain and local lad, Paul Collingwood.
Finally, a raffle was drawn with the winners picking up an iPod Touch and tickets to see comedian Peter Kay on stage. The raffle itself raised almost £200 for the dealership's chosen charity NSPCC.
Speaking afterwards, Pulman SEAT Franchise Manager, Chris Slater, said: 'This was a great occasion for the dealership and we were absolutely delighted that so many people, including lots of our long-standing and valued customers, were able to join us.
'Firstly, we wanted to celebrate the fact that we were among the handful of dealerships that helped launched SEAT UK a quarter of a century ago and have played an important role in helping to make the thriving brand the enormous success it is today.
'We also hope everyone left with the impression that things will be even better now we're part of Pulman which has grown to become one of the very best Volkswagen franchises in the country thanks to its out and out commitment to delivering a fantastic customer experience.'
SEAT UK Director, Peter Wyhinny, was keen to pay tribute to the team at its long established Sunderland outlet and the handful of other original SEAT dealers that helped bring the brand to the UK.
He said: 'Launching a new brand into a fiercely competitive market place is never easy, but that small initial group of professional and enthusiastic dealers helped SEAT UK hit the ground running and build real momentum.
'The skill, experience and contacts of the original dealers were obviously instrumental in allowing the company to get a foothold, build sales and grow the network.
'Today, as a thriving and well-established marque, it's wonderful to see members of that original group still with us and going strong.
'The future looks very bright for Pulman SEAT, SEAT UK and SEAT customers in the North East.'

Are you a huge Zelda fan? If you are, you're probably eagerly awaiting the release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, which is expected to see a release this 20th of November.
The good news is that if you're a huge fan and you're looking forward to some sort of special collector's edition version of the game, Nintendo has not disappointed with the announcement of a special edition of the game that will come bundled with a gold Wii Remote accessory.
The special edition will set players back $69.99 and unfortunately if you were hoping to get your hands on the gold Wii Remote, this will be the only way for you to get it unless someone else puts it up on eBay. If you feel like you could do without the gold Wii Remote, the game alone will cost $49.99.
Take note that for those who purchase the game early, regardless whether you go for the special edition or regular game, every copy in the initial production of the game will include a free CD that features select orchestral arrangements of the game's music as part of the franchise's 25th anniversary.

Angry Bird Wooden Structure!
We are still at it. I have been calling this last week operation Angry Bird. I love helping make decorations for parties. When I was told I have free range to make or create anything I wanted too, I spent hours thinking of what I could make. This particular project was a last minute idea! I knew that my father in law had just cut up a pallet that he had some rock delivered in and thought it would be great to create a fun scene from the original Angry Birds. It was a little less fancy with what seems like a bunch of wood stacks, then what the games have evolved into today.
What you will need:
- Wood Pieces
- Nails
- Hammer
The first thing we did was nail a few boards together. I had my daughter hold the boards, while I nailed on boards.
We continued to add more boards. Make sure that you have a few boards that are parallel to the board you are nailing vertical! This will create a base so that it doesn't fall over.
We also added a few extra boards just by placing them slanted, resting on our structure.
Here you have it a wooden structure from the Angry Bird Game.
You can use this just for decorations and place some Angry Birds and pigs on it or you can place it on a table with different party items on it. We ended up using ours as a cupcake holder. Stop back by and check out the party and see the cupcake display! If you like the Angry Bird Balls in the picture we did a step by step!

Join David Franz for an in-depth discussion in this video Clips and clip-based gain, part of Pro Tools 10 New Features.
In Pro Tools 10 regions have been renamed clips to create common nomenclature with Avid's video software packages. With the change in name comes a big new feature, useful in both post-production and mixing applications. It's called clip-based gain, and it enables you to easily adjust and match the gain, or volume, of an individual clip before the clip signal is routed to any plug-ins on the track and before it hits the track's fader. While similar to volume automation, clip gain is only associated with the clip, not with the actual track that the clip is on.
From the View menu, we can choose Clip > Clip Gain Line, as well as Clip > Gain Line Info. You can see the Clip Gain Line here as well as the Clip Gain Fader icon in the lower-left corner of the clip. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Equal on a Mac or Start+Shift+Equal in Windows to show or hide the clip gain. With no change in the clip gain, you'll see 0 dB as shown here.
However, I can adjust the clip gain by clicking on the fader and dragging up or down. I can also use the Trim tool to change the gain. You'll see the Clip Gain Trim icon as I click and drag and the clip gain changes. Notice how the waveform reacts in size according to the amount of gain. Now this is called static clip gain because the gain applies to the entire clip; however, if I use the Grabber tool to adjust the gain, this is called dynamic clip gain because the gain changes over the length of the clip.
I can also use the Pencil tool to draw in clip gain. You can edit clip gain just like any other type of automation, even copying and pasting clip gain like this. If you right-click on the Clip Gain Fader, you can bypass, clear, or render the clip gain as well as show or hide the Clip Gain Line for all clips.
Now you can adjust the Clip Gain Line between -144 dB and +36 dB and that Clip Gain setting stays with the clip, even if you move or copy or paste the clip, and clip gain can be imported from AAF and OMF sequences and exported with AAF sequences, but not OMF sequences. Let's look at what happens when I create a crossfade between two clips that have different clip gains. So first I'm going to change this clip gain right here. Now, I'm going to create a crossfade between these two regions. Look at that.
We see two Clip Gain lines. That simply means that the clip gains for each clip carries through the crossfade, and the crossfade will act like normal, mixing the two signals at their clip gain levels. A simple but handy new feature in Pro Tools 10 is that you can right-click on any clip in the clips list to reveal the file in the Finder on a Mac or in the Windows Explorer in Windows. And here's that clip. Finally, since regions have been replaced by clips, region groups have been replaced by clip groups. S clip group simply consists of several clips grouped together, like this.
With a bunch of clips highlighted here, I can go up to the Clip > Group command and now they're all grouped together. With the new clip group name, there's also a new file format .cgrp, which replaces the region group file format. Region group files can be imported from sessions made in previous versions of Pro Tools, but clip groups are not backwards compatible with previous versions of Pro Tools, because they contain clip gain settings. So now you know all the ins and outs about using clips and clip-based gain in Pro Tools 10.
- What's new with importing and exporting files
- Adding real-time fades overlapping cross-fades
- Utilizing the Edit window indicators
- Working with the improved AudioSuite plug-ins
- Creating a reverse delay or reverb effect
- Understanding the interface and nomenclature changes
- Getting help with Pro Tools

The amount a student will receive will be determined based on what they qualify for (their EFC from the SAR) and what funds are currently available at the time they complete their financial aid file. Because some financial aid funds are limited, and because some funds have deadlines, it is important for students to apply early, meet all deadlines, and complete their financial aid file as soon as possible, so that the Financial Aid Office (FAO) can best meet their needs. Students should refer to their award letter to
understand what funds they have received. Their award is based on full time attendance, and will differ if enrolled in less than full time attendance at the time of disbursement. Students can always inquire at the FAO if they are unsure how their award will be affected if less than full time.

The income statement reports a company's financial performance while the balance sheet reports its financial health. One proceeds from the other. A company's financial performance regulates its financial health. Performance and health are linked through the net income account on the income statement and the equity account on the balance sheet. Consequently, your understanding of the interrelationship between the two is essential for having a fully informed perspective of your company's financial picture.
Basic Accounting Equation
Double-entry accounting requires a credit entry to offset every debit entry for all bookkeeping or accounting transactions. The total of all debit entries must equal the total of all credit entries. The basic accounting equation refers to balance sheet accounts: Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity. Asset accounts are debit entries. Liability and owner's equity accounts are credit entries. Every entry that's recorded in an asset account as a debit must have an offsetting credit entry in either a liability account or in owner's equity.
The Balance Sheet
The balance sheet reports financial health of a company on a specific date in time — "as of Dec. 31, 2005," for example. The basic accounting equation informs that assets, the resources employed to conduct business operations, are acquired through either borrowing or through owner's equity — Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity. Change in the owner's equity account from the previous period is the principal marker of the company's financial health. An increase in owner's equity is a sign of good health. It shows that the company is relying less on debt to its fund operations. Conversely, a decrease in owner's equity shows the opposite.
The Income Statement
The balance sheet reports the financial health of a company as of a specific date; the income statement reports income and expense activity for a specific period of time. It shows how much money the company made after accounting for all expenses. The bottom line figure represents its profit or its loss. The company can either distribute the profit directly to the owner as an owner's draw, or it can reinvest the profit in the business. In either case, the profit is reflected in the owner's equity section of the balance sheet by using the "expanded accounting equation." The expanded accounting equation is an affirmation of the interrelationship between the income statement and the balance sheet.
Expanded Accounting Equation
The expanded accounting equation incorporates income statement accounts into the basic accounting equation as follows: Assets = Liabilities + [Owner's Equity + Revenues – Expenses – Owner's Draw]. Assume your sole-proprietorship company's basic accounting equation at the beginning of Period I was as follows: Assets ($200,000) = Liabilities ($50,000) + Owner's Equity ($150,000). Your income statement for Period I reported: Total Revenue ($80,000) – Total Expenses ($55,000) = Net Profit ($25,000). Your expanded accounting equation at the end of Period I would be: Assets ($225,000) = Liabilities ($50,000) + [Owner's Equity ($150,000) + Revenue ($80,000) – Expenses ($55,000) – Owner's Draw (0)]. Because revenue increases while expenses and draws decrease owner's equity, the aggregate revenue, expenses and draw accounts actually increase or decrease owner's equity. Corporations have a similar expanded accounting equation that provides greater detail for changes in shareholders' equity accounts.
The Inseparable Duo
The expanded accounting equation is implicit in all financial statements. Non-publicly traded companies, however, may not provide the detail on the balance sheet to clearly understand the income statement connection. That's why it's important to read both documents as a pair so you can track the movement of money from the income statement to the balance sheet. If the expanded accounting equation does not compute, something is awry.

'If you can't be mine you won't be anybody's' – a jealous man said after finding out his ex-wife had started to date a new man.
Lazar Ibishev, of Chatsworth Road, Buxton, made threats that he would kill the new partner of his former wife on June 21.
The 44–year–old pleaded guilty to sending an offensive message by public communication network when he appeared at High Peak Magistrates' Court.
Laura Dyke, prosecuting, said: "The couple were divorced in 2008 and there are two children as a result of that marriage.
"The couple got back together around Christmas last year, but the relationship ended again in May.
"Since this time the complainant has started a new relationship."
She said that on June 21, the defendant contacted his ex wife via her mobile phone, saying 'this guy you're going out with is going to die. I'll kill him and end up in prison, I don't care. If you can't be mine, you won't be anybody's. Be careful what you do next'.
The complainant then returned a missed call from him later on.
"He said 'think carefully what you're going to do. It's either me or him. He won't be amongst the living much longer. I'm not threatening you, I'm threatening him,'" Miss Dyke continued.
The defendant, who works as a labourer, was arrested on June 22.
In interview, Ibishev told officers he had been drinking at the time of the incidents, having had two or three glasses of vodka.
"He indicated he never meant to carry out the threats, merely scare the victim," Miss Dyke added.
James Riley, defending, said: "He found out through one of his children his wife had started seeing someone else and he acted poorly in drink and made some outlandish comments in a phone call.
"There was no substance to the comments made on the phone, they were just made out of distress, anguish and drunkenness.
"He deeply regrets the inconvenience caused to the police and he's brought shame on his family.
"This is an act born out of drunkenness and immediately the remorse shown was evident."
The case was adjourned for the preparation of a pre–sentence report and Ibishev will appear at High Peak Magistrates' Court again on August 5.
He is on bail until that date with the condition that he has no contact with two named witnesses.

In the village of Chelm, the only ones with any common sense at all are the children – but even their puzzling logic only makes sense in Chelm!
The Children of Chelm animates the classic tales that have become funnier and more beloved with time. The Chelm stories have been told and retold at family gatherings and as bedtime stories for over 100 years. Many happy childhood memories begin with a parent saying, "Once there was a tiny village by the name of Chelm where everyone was sillier than the next."
Combining Aesop's Fables with the humour of Woody Allen, the half-hour pilot episode entitled `Tree of Fools' is narrated by Grandma Rachel who is a wise (and wise-cracking) old woman. Rachel tells a story that begins on the eve of the Great Cherry Festival – when a greedy, petulant king wants to steal all the cherries for himself. But as 11-year-olds Anna and David try to stop the king from ruining their festival, the silliness of Chelm logic gets them out of one sticky situation and into another. It's not long before Anna and David have to contend with a runaway boulder, a feather snowstorm, a captured moon and, of course, a giant chicken!
Children of Chelm is produced by Breakthrough Entertainment and Pitchi Poy. Animated by Funbag Animation Studios.

Kalkaska, MI (PRWEB) May 28, 2014
Terra Contracting Services, LCC (Terra), a subsidiary of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation, is one of the nation's leading providers of essential services for environmental construction and infrastructure-related applications. On April 1, 2014, Terra acquired the Trucking and Field Services Division of Team Services, LLC. Based in Kalkaska, Michigan, Team Services, LLC is a provider of drilling, rigging, trucking, and field operation services to the Oil and Gas (O&G) industry in the Upper Midwest and Northeast.
This acquisition enables Terra to establish a footprint in the northern Michigan energy market which is the center of Michigan's O&G industry. The Trucking and Field Services Division integrates well with Terra's existing service portfolio and broadens our capabilities into this critical market. This new capability will introduce further opportunities to offer Terra's existing service lines to a well-established set of customers within the O&G market. Terra will also provide ongoing services and support to Team's Service/Completion Rig Services division, which was not acquired.
Terra's President, Steve Taplin, stated, "We are extremely pleased to add new teammates to Terra as a result of this acquisition. Their expertise, along with our added capabilities, will help us expand our geographic reach and better serve our established client base. We look forward to supporting our new teammates as they bring their talents and energy to our bright future."

Next week, Americans everywhere will be celebrating the 4th of July. It's a holiday that's code for fireworks, sparklers, outdoor activities, BBQ cooking and comfort food, camping, picnics, parades, stargazing, bluegrass and country music, warmer weather and spending time with friends and family. Not a bad deal, right?
Members of Ning communities nationwide are sharing about the things that make for a memorable and special 4th of July — and letting the world know what makes them as all-American as apple pie… or Bruce Springsteen.
The Chamber of Central Mass South Online is letting people know about its fireworks show on July 3. It's one of the region's largest fireworks displays! A few states south of Massachusetts, Amy Shair, a member of The 919 Business Network, shares over a dozen 4th of July activities happening in North Carolina's Triangle area. Celebrations continue even after the 4th of July, and Morgen Connor shares about the July 7 fireworks show happening in Peterborough, New Hampshire.
Though fireworks remain one of the mainstays of the 4th of July, other Ning communities are highlighting other ways to enjoy the great outdoors. On the Naples Velo Community, an inclusive cycling Ning site, there's a 4th of July 50+ mile bike ride followed by a post ride picnic.
As many of you know, Colorado is experiencing major wildfires right now. On VW Camper Family, member Jeremy Nix asks the community for ideas and suggestions for making camping fun when building a campfire isn't an option.
Quintessential to any 4th of July celebration is, of course, a great BBQ. In May, we highlighted many wonderful Ning communities cooking up a storm of delicious summer foods. Adding to this, Penni of Raw Food Rehab shares how to make a Cleanse America Fruit Cake (catchy, no?). Not only is it easy to make, it's kid-friendly, and healthy!
Looking to make this or something else delicious and healthy for your 4th of July? If you live in the San Diego area, there's still time to pick up some organic produce thanks to the Ramona Certified Farmers' Market (held every Saturday). Used as their main website, they also use their Ning community to introduce the world to the various famers selling produce at the Ramona Farmers' Market. Other healthy meals you can make include French Potato Salad, which Lois Carter Fay shares on RecipeIdeaShop.
Needing some good tunes to play during your 4th of July celebrations? Look no further than the chords heard on No Depression, a bi-monthly music magazine and home to Americana and roots music.
Not living in the USA? Share your traditions on a Ning community and let us know about it!
Have a safe and fun 4th of July. Wear plenty of sunblock and enjoy, ya'll!

Have you heard about the 'Two Week Challenge'? You must have sex every single day for 14 days. This is good for you. Really.
Reported in the Mail on Sunday this morning, Kate Garraway, a presenter on UK ITV, wrote about interviewing her friend who had just spent two weeks in Paris, doing The Challenge, with her husband! It doesn't matter where you do it, in the bedroom, in the kitchen, in the cupboard, on the stairs – just don't miss a day. For two weeks.
Studies carried out in Israel showed that women who had two orgasms a week were almost a third less likely to have heart disease. Another study at Queens University, Belfast, found that having sex 3 times a week could slash your heart attack and stroke risk.
It is a super healthy activity.
There is now evidence that it improves your cognitive function and appears to ward off dementia.
What have I been banging on about all these years?!
Happy Love-Making.

Natural Sciences faculty and students participate in Day in the Life of the Hudson River
On Oct. 20, 2015, Nyack College biology majors and Department of Natural Sciences faculty (Dr. Peter Park and Dr. Daniel Kaluka) participated in the "Day in the Life of the Hudson River" Ecology Research Event. Our students partnered with SUNY Rockland's Nancy Arias and her students to jointly collect valuable research data on the Hudson River at the Hook Mountain Nyack Beach site.
They collected data on some of the Hudson River's 200-plus species of fish and also examined the physical and chemical aspects of the river with a wide-range of equipment. Spanning over 70 sites from Troy to Staten Island, "Day in the Life" brought together over 5,000 students from 100 different schools, institutions, and organizations to simultaneously survey and study the Hudson River.
"More than a field trip, 'Day in the Life' trains students to use hands-on field techniques to describe their communities' natural resources, and explore how their piece of the river fits into the larger ecosystem. Initial findings are posted online within a few days of the event. Scientists will work with students as they actively investigate the river ecosystem, measuring water chemistry, examining small sediment cores, collecting plankton, donning waders to seine for fish and looking at possible changes to the area from rising sea level." – NYS DEC, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University

LANSING — Legislation to support Michigan's successful, award-winning tourism promotion program was approved Tuesday by the state Senate, said Sen. John Proos.
Senate Bill 110 would dedicate another $10 million from the state's 21st Century Jobs Fund to the Pure Michigan advertisement campaign, bringing the total to $25 million. It would also make the program a permanently eligible use for the jobs fund.
"We must continue to support Michigan's $17.5 billion tourism industry and the thousands of Michigan job providers and families who depend on it," said Proos, R-St. Joseph. "As the governor said, we must use value budgeting with our limited resources. The program has had a direct, measurable effect on boosting tourism in southwest Michigan and also helping the state budget. For every dollar we invest in Pure Michigan, the state gets back almost three dollars in revenues."
A Michigan Economic Development Corporation study determined a return on investment of $2.83 for every dollar spent on Pure Michigan advertising.
"This is truly a worthy investment for southwest Michigan," Proos said. "I strongly supported this boost because it accomplishes three goals: helping keep and create jobs in the state's tourism industry, generating more state revenues and improving Michigan's national image to companies considering locating in our state. And it does all three without increasing taxes."
SB 110 has been sent to the House of Representatives for consideration.

|Adoption and Children Bill
Mr. Dawson: Is not the hon. Gentleman being overly modest in asserting that the changes that the amendment would bring about are small? He is breaking with the hereditary principle of the monarchy and with that of the peerage. Is he not dealing a greater blow to the system of inherited privilege and wealth in this country than any Labour Member would have dared to propose?
Mr. Bellingham: The hon. Gentleman's point is interesting. The changes are minor in the context of a Bill that will hopefully make adoption much easier for hundreds of thousands of people. As a result of the Bill, many thousands of families will provide loving homes for children. As I said, the proposed changes would at the most affect 50 families. I will shortly draw my remarks to a close, as other Members want to speak.
It is wrong that children born as a result of egg or sperm donation or, dare I say it, illicit liaisonsor even surreptitious overseas adoptionsshould be given more rights than legally adopted children. That is the fundamental point.
Mr. Djanogly: Has my hon. Friend discussed his amendments with august institutions such as the College of Arms?
Mr. Bellingham: I happen to know that such institutions take a fairly neutral viewthey can understand both sides of the argument. My hon. Friend's intervention is none the less constructive. If the Parliamentary Secretary were to accept the logic of my arguments and the amendments were made, it would be important to ensure that such organisations were on side, to lessen the chance of the removal of the amendments on the Floor of the House or in another place.
We ought to put the proposed reform in context. Will the Parliamentary Secretary carefully consider the examples of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, where adoption carried inheritance rights? Subsequent natural children there could never take away adopted children's rights. Gaius Julius, nephew of Julius Caesar, was adopted; he inherited the imperial office and became Augustus Caesar. Labour Members may be familiar with Ovid and with the myth of Hercules, who was adopted by Zeus and Hera. Ovid wrote:
Tim Loughton: My hon. Friend draws an important analogy. Was not Ovid exiled to the Black sea, supposedly for having an affair with the illegitimate daughter of the emperor Augustus, who would not have been able
The Chairman: Order. I ask hon. Members to keep within the scope of the amendment. I am being super-generous.
Mr. Bellingham: We have had a brief excursion into the classics, which may have revealed that some Conservative Members might be better equipped for the modern age had they spent more time reading subjects such as mathematics and the sciences. On the other hand, we do have a knowledge of the classics.
The amendment would bring about a symbolic reform. It would demonstrate total acceptance of adopted children at every level of society. I commend it to the Committee and look forward to its acceptance by the Parliamentary Secretary.
Mr. Brazier: I shall be brief. My hon. Friend the Member for North-West Norfolk made a parallel with the classical world at the end of his speech. There was almost a management principle involved in adoption law in Rome and Greece. Adoption was so much the norm in classical Rome that, according to Gibbon, there was not a single instance in all the centuries of the Roman empire of descent through blood relatives lasting for three generations. There were sometimes military coups, but in the majority of cases the emperor chose to adopt the worthy candidate as his son rather than to pass power on to his natural descendants.
For all its faults, the edifice of the Roman empire was the most stable secular structure that the world has ever seen, lasting for about one and a half millennia, depending on when one considers it to have started and finished. We can learn from it. Choosing a person who was worthy if one was not satisfied of the suitability of one's blood offspring was the Roman approach.
Ms Meg Munn (Sheffield, Heeley): The hon. Gentleman referred to a ''person'' being worthy. In relation to the amendment, I am sure that we are talking about a worthy man.
Mr. Brazier: Not always, no. I can remember at least one
The Chairman: Order. I hope that the hon. Gentleman will not be tempted to digress.
10.30 am
Mr. Brazier: The case I have in mind is that of the lady who inherited the titles of Attila the Hun, but I shall have to look it up. You are right to reproach me, Mr. Hood, but I mentioned that not because we all seek succession for the monarchy but because my hon. Friend the Member for North-West Norfolk makes a serious and worthy point. Many people who have reached the pinnacles of success have chosen to pass on not only their inheritance but their position among their followers. One example of a person adopted into a privileged family who went on to do huge amounts of goodhe is still doing so, not least for my partyis Mr. Stuart Wheeler, whose actions were reported by the newspapers shortly before the election. His family passed on to him considerable wealth and position, and he had a privileged education. He has chosen to use his position in a number of philanthropic ways.
The question that I want to ask the Committee is this. Would it not be a thoroughly good, symbolic measure if Parliament were to allow the provision to apply to peeragesthey are still sought by many people for many reasons, although new ones are nearly always life peeragesas a way of saying that we are determined that adopted children at every level of society should be treated in exactly the same way as birth children?
Kevin Brennan: Further to the intervention of my hon. Friend the Member for Sheffield, Heeley (Ms Munn), does the hon. Gentleman believe that an adopted son should take precedence over his older sister when the title is inherited? What he is exposing is not so much a shortcoming in the Bill that may need to be rectified, but shortcomings in the wider system. Those shortcomings, which create much unfairness, may need to be rectified in more wide-ranging legislation, and I am sure that we would welcome the hon. Gentleman's support for such legislation.
Mr. Brazier: That issue goes well beyond the terms of clause 68, although it is a serious matter. There is a practical, albeit curious, difference between many Scottish titles and almost all English titles, but this Committee is not the right place to address that point, and I am sure that you, Mr. Hood, would restrain me if I did so.
Most of the Bill, rightly, deals with adoption as it applies to the vast majority of children; but allowing one or two symbolic cases over the years, which is all we are talking about, will say something about every adopted child. I strongly believe in symbolic acts but I have always rejected symbolic gestures. Symbolism is fundamental to the way people live. The amendment proposed by my hon. Friend the Member for North-West Norfolk would say something engaging to every adopted child.
Mr. Djanogly: Having heard my hon. Friends put across a competent argumentI have great admiration for their reforming zealand having heard Labour Members speak about the hereditary principle, I thought that a Conservative should make a case for the hereditary principle. My argument, which is that the hereditary principle is both hereditary and a principle, has been touched on. We may or may not like it, and I am sure that all hon. Members have a view, but that principle is based on blood tiesand on legitimacy. Whether or not that is regarded as correct in this day and age, it is the principle on which the hereditary system is based. Changing the principle would be a dangerous thing, for doing so would undermine the whole concept. Although fairness and advantages would be won for adopted children if they were included, it would not be consistent with the principle as it stands.
My hon. Friend the Member for North-West Norfolk asks where we go from here. Life peerages have been mentioned. The children of those who now receive life peerages receive the courtesy title; that should apply in future even if the child is adopted. In the same way, and using the same rationale, the same should apply to new hereditary peeragesI appreciate that not many are createdand adopted children should be included. In effect, we would be creating a new principle without destroying the existing one.
Ms Rosie Winterton: The debate has been wide ranging. I am sure that the hon. Member for North-West Norfolk sincerely wants to right what he believes is a wrong affecting the rights of adopted children. However, as the debate has shown, the intention underpinning the amendments would have substantial implications for the wider law in that areaand for the rights of other children.
Although I understand the motive behind the amendments, they will not achieve the consistency that the hon. Gentleman intends. As my hon. Friends have made clear in speeches and interventions, the amendments address the rights of adopted sons only. Daughters cannot usually inherit peerages and the amendment would not change that, whether or not the daughter was adopted.
Mr. Bellingham: The Parliamentary Secretary is right, but some peerages have a special remainder, which allows the eldest daughter to inherit. In fact, quite a few Scottish titles have such an arrangement and a number of titles have been created with a special remainder for the daughter for one generation.
One example is the Bass family, the famous brewing family from Burton. The first Lord Burton had only a daughter: she became Baroness Burton and her son became the second Lord Burton. The Parliamentary Secretary should bear such cases in mind. I have no difficulty with the rights of daughters being put on the same footing as those of sons. Our monarch is a female, and there are plenty of able female politicians on both sides

Infectious disease
Infectious disease is the medical specialty practiced by doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of complex infections, whether caused by bacteria, virus, fungus, or other infectous agent. They treat people who have chronic (long-term) infections or disorders such as HIV or tuberculosis. Some may have a focus of their practice such as patients with HIV or tropical diseases. Before you consult with a infection disease specialist, it is good to know if he has a focus of practice within his specialty, and if he is certified by the Sociedade Brasileira de Infectologia, which is the official organization recognized by the Associação Médica Brasiliera.

Police arrested a Kenner teenager and booked him on drug charges after an undercover investigation prompted by complaints from the community, according to authorities. Several tipsters dialed up Crimestoppers Inc. and the Kenner Police narcotics hotline, fed up with Joseph Staehle, 18, and the troublesome traffic from his drug sales, said Sgt. Brian McGregor, spokesman for the police department.
"He was a neighborhood menace," McGregor said. In February, detectives began making a series of undercover marijuana buys from Staehle, of 3545 Tulane Drive, Kenner.
They concluded the investigation Saturday (March 29) with his arrest. Officers booked Staehle with six counts of marijuana distribution, five counts of violating drug laws, possession of hydrocodone and illegal possession of a stolen firearm.
Detectives booked Staehle on the drug law violations because he is accused of selling narcotics near Woodlake Playground, 131 W. Esplanade Ave., Kenner, McGregor explained. The playground is a drug-free zone, a state designation that includes enhanced penalties for selling illegal drugs within 2,000 feed of such areas.
The stolen firearm charge stems from a Jan. 30 incident in which police arrested a suspect at Staehle's home who was wanted on an outstanding warrant. While there, officers found a .45-caliber pistol that had been reported stolen out of Alabama. Investigators later linked the gun to Staehle through forensic evidence, McGregor said.
Staehle was being held Monday evening at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. Bond was set at $207,500.
Anyone with information about Joseph Staehle, or anyone else possessing or distributing illegal drugs is asked to call the Kenner Police Department at 504.712.2222 or the Kenner Police Drug Hotline at 504.466.3073. The public can also contact Crimestoppers Inc. by calling 504.822.1111

U.S. Growth May Accelerate as Europe Shrinks – 2012 Looks to be a Better Year for Real Estate
Rising confidence, fewer firings and gains in holiday sales show the U.S. economy is picking up, defying a slowdown in Europe and much of the rest of the world.
The divergence will become even starker in 2012 as the world's largest economy accelerates, the 17-member euro area sinks into a recession and growth in emerging markets cools, according to economists like Maury Harris of UBS Securities LLC and Barclays Capital Inc.'s Dean Maki.
"There is a sense of decoupling," said Harris, chief economist at UBS Securities in New York, whose team was the most accurate in forecasting the U.S. economy in the two years through September. "We can still have a decent year here in the U.S. even with the rest of the world slowing down."
Housing and auto sales, two areas which slumped during the recession, will probably improve.
An improving job market and freer credit may underpin American household sentiment and spending just as the debt crisis in Europe prompts additional belt-tightening overseas. Stabilization in housing will erase a source of weakness at the same time [Read more…]

Highest Pending Home Sales Again in November as Mortgage Rates Remain Low
Pending home sales continued to gain in November and reached the highest level in a year and a half as mortgage rates remain low, according to the National Association of Realtors®.
The Pending Home Sales Index,* a forward-looking indicator based on contract signings, increased 7.3 percent to 100.1 in November from an upwardly revised 93.3 in October and is 5.9 percent above November 2010 when it stood at 94.5. The October upward revision resulted in a 10.4 percent monthly gain. [Read more…]
The Great Recession is Changing Attitudes Toward Buying and Selling a Home
In the last few years, Americans have experienced the most severe housing-market downturn since the Great Depression. The national homeownership rate during this period has declined from a peak of 69 percent in 2004 to 66 percent presently. Unemployment is high, income growth is stagnant and home sales are low. Indeed, in this environment, many have questioned whether the American dream of homeownership has ended.
A recent report that uses data from the University of Michigan's Survey of Consumer Attitudes to examine consumer attitudes toward homeownership before, during and after the financial crisis has some interesting findings. In particular, it measures the extent to which the recession has changed consumer sentiment toward home buying and selling.
There are a number of principal findings:
• Despite high unemployment, slow economic growth and problems plaguing the economy, almost 80 percent of American households believe that now is a good time to buy a home.
• Positive sentiment is strong particularly among [Read more…]
Some Good Signs for the Real Estate Market
Sales ticked up for existing homes and new homes, several real estate market indicators revealed last week, pointing to a housing market that may finally be entering recovery mode.
November sales of existing homes increased 12 percent year-over-year
In the most recent report, the Census Bureau reported that the new-home market continued its rebound, with sales of new houses once again inching up last month. New-home sales rose 1.6 percent from October to November to an annualized rate of 315,000, and sales were up nearly 10 percent compared to November 2010.
The median sales price of a new home in November was $214,100, the Census Bureau reported, and the inventory of new houses nationwide decreased to a [Read more…]
Recent Interview with economist Robert Shiller of the Case-Shiller Index
Yale University economist Robert Shiller says don't be depressed by the sharp fall in house prices in October's S&P/Case Shiller Index. Many reasons to buy now.
The Case-Shiller index, created by economists Karl E. Case and Robert J. Shiller, is widely considered the most reliable read on home values. The housing index compares the latest sales of detached houses with previous sales and accounts for factors such as remodeling that might affect a house's sale price over time.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers traces its history back the the late 1800's when the nation was first starting to become electrified. It is the oldest union of electricians in the world, as well as the largest. The IBEW utilizes an apprenticeship program that runs from three to five years to train new journeyman electricians. Wages for journeymen depend on their field of specialization and location.
Outside Linemen
Journeyman outside linemen are electricians who bring electricity from the power source, or generation station, to the end user. They're the people who climb towers to repair downed electrical lines after a storm. The hourly journeyman wage for outside linemen with the Northwest Line, covered by IBEW locals 77, 125, 483 and 659, was $44.73 in February 2012. Wages are only part of an IBEW journeyman lineman's total compensation. They may also receive pension, education and health care benefits, which vary by location. For example, those covered by Local 104 receive comprehensive family health care provided entirely by the employer. Those covered by IBEW locals 77, 125, 483 and 659 receive employer-funded contributions to the National Electrical Annuity Plan.
Inside Wireman
Journeyman inside wiremen take the power delivered by outside linemen, and distribute that power throughout commercial, industrial or municipal environments, such as a manufacturing plant or a retail complex. The inside wireman apprenticeship program typically requires five years to complete, at which time the apprentice earns journeyman wages which vary by location. The base wage for journeyman inside wiremen at Local Union 26 in the Maryland, Virginia and District of Columbia region was $40 per hour plus paid benefits. Wiremen covered by Local 340 in Northern California earned a total wage package of $58.20, which includes $39.06 per hour in base wages.
Residential Wiremen
Journeyman residential wiremen fulfill the same role in residential environments that inside wiremen perform in industrial settings. They install electrical lines and systems in new single and multi-family residential construction, and maintain and repair those lines and systems in existing structures. The base wage for journeyman residential wiremen covered by IBEW Local 569 in San Diego, Calif., was $21.62 per hour plus paid benefits, as of May 31, 2010. Those covered by Local Union 46 in Puget Sound, Wash., earned base wages of $17.50 per hour.
Job Opportunities
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects new employment opportunities for electricians to grow by 23 percent between 2010 and 2020, providing 133,700 new jobs. Due to the seasonal nature of the construction industry, journeyman inside wiremen tend to find more stable work opportunities.
