I grew up in Glenville, NY which is located right outside of the capital. My family is from Naples, Italy so I grew up in a traditional Italian household. I feel very fortunate about this because I got to grow appreciating Italian and American culture. I received my bachelor's degree in Psychology from Siena College in Loudonville, NY and my master's degree in Counseling and Community Psychology from Sage College in Albany, NY. I am the first person in my family to receive a master's degree. 10 days after I finished grad school I hopped on a plane to Las Vegas, NV to start a new path. This journey led me to join the AAC team and I couldn't be more grateful. I live with my fiancé Jamie and our 2 dogs, Rocco and Oliver. We are excited to be getting married this November 2017.

Just like generations previous, America's young people have big desires and aspirations and their native communities can play a big position in serving to them fulfill their full potential. Teenagers keen on these summer jobs should search for employers that provide coaching packages. On the cheap end its like $350-$four hundred a month for an 18 yr previous with a clear report. White teens are more likely to work over the summer time than teenagers of other races and ethnicities.
Most on-line businesses have a tendency to use social networking websites, but if you have numerous mates and your not just a few guy marketing on social networks then you definitely stand an opportunity in selling more merchandise and extra successfully selling an internet site or a weblog.
I am a junior in highschool and I presently work at a gymnastics coach on the gymnasium I've grown up at. I'm working with my coaches, a few of whom taught me 14 years ago after I was two years previous. Many times, those in host or hostess positions will move into wait workers roles after having been with the company for several months to a year. It is potential to earn a profitable residing by collaborating in and signing up for legit jobs online. Teens eligible for these summer season jobs must display a modest proficiency in inventive or performing arts. Summer time jobs are readily available for these youngsters with the flexibility to carry out during special occasions. As with every little thing our teens do, it is our accountability to look out for our kids.
For 18- and 19-year-olds, the summer employment price last 12 months was 43.6{88c35caa56d4d3922ae2d07a17124b6f0b988c7748c0e90d15b86e6ef6124269}, nonetheless effectively under the sixty two.6{88c35caa56d4d3922ae2d07a17124b6f0b988c7748c0e90d15b86e6ef6124269} average price in the summer of 2000. Teens need the income for requirements comparable to faculty supplies, transportation, phones, clothes, school tuition and in lots of instances to help support their whole household. Stipulations: Most retail jobs don't require a lot, if any, job experience or schooling.
There aren't any set instances that they should work, teenagers can rapidly and simply work at their very own tempo as often or as little as they like every week, it is as much as them. Open to teenagers thirteen & up, however you could contact their assist quantity should you're trying to enroll underneath the age of 18.

These summer season jobs require teen applicants to develop and instruct youth friends in a wide range of out of doors activities. The catch here is that to land these jobs, you're going to both need to bid very, very low on the work, or you are going to need a longtime profile of previous jobs with excessive ratings.

Two Mexican flags popped up at a most unexpected place – near a golf course in Scotland. The flags were flown near one of the GOP presidential presumptive nominee's golf courses in the Scottish Lowlands.
Trump is scheduled to visit Scotland on Friday.
It appears the flags were raised as much in protest of the golf courses owned by Mr. Trump as against his candidacy for the presidency. "We did this to coincide with his visit to show solidarity with the Mexican people and many other groups that Donald Trump has lied to and intimidated, because we've experienced it," David Milne said to ABC News' Good Morning America reporter Louise Dewast.
One of the two residents flying the green, white and red flag of Mexico on Scottish soil said the action was taken "in sign of solidarity with the people of Mexico."
Mr. Milne owns property that is adjacent to one of Trumps golf courses. He has gone as far as forming an advocacy group that has campaigned against Trumps course. He said it was "the most obvious symbol" because of Trumps pledge to build a wall along the U.S. southwestern border and his comments that have been largely misconstrued by the left-of-center American news media about criminal illegal aliens who are pouring into the U.S.
Milne's beef with Trump seems to center around the idea that the wealthy commercial developer has allegedly tried to force local residents to sell their property. A claim that was promptly denied by Trump's Scottish company's executive vice president, Sarah Malone.
"I would categorically dispute any claims that we have purposely made life difficult for the neighbors or done things that were wrong," she told NPR's Leila Fadel in Frebruary. "We simply haven't."
The second Mexican flag was reportedly flown by Michael Forbes, another resident who protestes against the course being built.
This is certainly not the first time a Mexican flag has been raised in a foreign country to protest Trump's presidential campaign. Breitbart Texas reported in April about a Canadian citizen, former Mexican citizen, construction worker who draped the Mexican flag from the top of the Trump International Hotel which is under construction in Vancouver, Canada.
The freshly naturalized Canadian citizen took the action "because from the concrete pouring, finishing, drywall, taping, wood forming and general labor, Mexicans were there, building it, doing good work," ABC News quoted from his Facebook page.
Trump is travelling to Scotland this week to visit his two golf courses located in the Scottish Lowlands. He will attend the re-opening of the Turnberry course located in Ayrshire along the Firth of Clyde, southwest of Glasgow. He is scheduled to visit the Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire on Saturday. This course is located diagonally across the country along the North Sea coast north of Aberdeen.
Mexican flags are routinely seen being carried at Trump protests in the United States.

D-III Tourney: Another Miracle For Messiah
Nov. 23, 2008
Courtesy of Christopher Newport
NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Christopher Newport's men's soccer squad dropped a heartbreaking 2-1 double overtime decision to No. 8 Messiah in the NCAA Elite 8 Sunday afternoon.
Winston Mattheisen's goal in the 57th minute put the Captains on top 1-0. CNU put several balls in the box and Mattheisen knocked home the loose ball.
Trailing 1-0, Messiah's J.D. Binger found the back of the net to knot the score at 1-1 with exactly one minute to play in regulation.
The two squads played a scoreless first overtime session, but in the second, Derek Black threaded a pass to Ben Pezon for the game-winner in the 103rd minute for the Falcons 20th win of the year.
The two teams were evenly matched in the first half. The Captains Kevin Greenberg picked up two yellow cards in the first 33 minutes and was sent off the field.
The Falcons out-shot CNU in the first half, 4-3.
In the 65th minute, Bryan Davis was whistled for a hard tackle and received a red card, which put the Captains down two men for the remainder of the game.
Christopher Newport had several chances to extend its lead before Messiah tied the score, despite playing two men down.
Messiah out-shot CNU, 19-9. Justin Wolfe had four stops for CNU while Jared Clugston made no saves for the Falcons.
The Falcons improve to 20-2-2 on the year and will meet the winner of Ohio Northern/Loras in the NCAA semifinals. The Captains finish the year 17-5-3.

census economic data bureau
Get information on degree programs, masters degrees and online degrees at CampusExplorer.com
In its efforts to estimate the number of small businesses in the country, the U.S. Census Bureau counts Schedule C businesses (individual proprietorship or self-employed individuals), partnerships, and Subchapter S corporations (usually small corporations in which the profits pass through to the owners without being taxed first). It does not count the large number of small businesses incorporated as standard corporations.
Every five years, in years ending in "2" and "7," the U.S. Census Bureau surveys business enterprises and publishes an Economic Census that compiles and analyzes a wide variety of statistical data about business and industry. The entire report is published in stages, starting two years after the designated census date. The most recent reports available are taken from the Economic Census of 2002, and these reports provide the most accurate data available concerning the state of small business at the turn of the twenty-first century.
As of 2006 the most current U.S. Census Bureau economic survey with fully available data on small business and home-based business remains the 1997 Economic Census. In some instances, this five-year census report does not analyze the data for the same criteria used previously. Therefore, data derived from the 1992 census and published in 1997 as Characteristics of Business Owners Survey are also used in this chapter. The outstanding portion of the 2002 census is scheduled for release during the remainder of 2006. Thus, by the end of 2006, the economic data for small and home-based businesses will be more current, and a new economic census will be undertaken in 2007. The publication schedule for reports from the 2002 Economic Census is available online at http://www.census.gov/econ/census02/guide/g02sched.htm.

text: I'm looking into buying an M3 Lite online, but i don't know where to get it from. I'm in the US, so i need a site that ships here. Anyone have any good suggestions? I was looking at one on BambooGaming.com, but i don't know how they are and also they don't ship with boxes. (I'd like it to come in all nice and new, in the wrappings and such.)


text: I recently made a purchase of 5 Cherry Red Shrimp from "Alpha Pro Breeders". I went to their site and saw many positive reviews from their customers. I used USPS Priority as my shipping option. The shrimp arrived in 2-3 days (not sure exactly when they shipped as I asked for a tracking # and never received it. ) When I opened the package according to their instructions, I quickly saw that 3 were dead and 2 were healthy. There appeared to be no extra shrimp. The dead shrimp appeared that that they were torn apart by something sharp. The problem may have been the green plastic mesh they included instead of a small piece of a live plant as promised on their site, for the shrimp to cling to. The mesh was a bit on the stiff side with sharp edges where trimmed. My guess is that during the jostling around on the trucks the 3 dead shrimp got cut up. When I notified Alpha Pro Breeders to get a replacement they replied, I didn't read the fine print and they can't replace the dead shrimp because it was clearly stated that they only stand behind their shrimp if I chose to pay for and use one of their FedEx options. So technically they were correct. Being a reasonable person I offered to pay for shipping if they replaced the 3 shrimp. Their response was if I ordered a new batch of 5 and I used FedEx they would "throw in a couple of extra shrimp" I'm not going to get crazy but thought this isn't the way to treat a new customer. They didn't stand by their product in my view and certainly weren't reasonable when they didn't agree to my offer which I thought was reasonable and a good compromise.

Marks & Spencer
M&S' International marketing managers were using spreadsheets to create and share their plans with Head Office. Delays in collating the plans meant that they were never up-to-date, leaving key decisions on availability and trading strategy to be made on incomplete information.
The M&S team was looking for a way to improve visibility over what was happening in their stores and to cut down the delays in communication that cost them money and opportunities.
Concrete helps teams across M&S plan together in near-real-time and track any activities as they progress so managers at Head Office can easily get a live view of what's happening in their stores from one place.
By having one central account of current, planned and historical activity across all business areas, comparisons can be made, risks and opportunities quickly identified and key business indicators can be tracked.
Concrete has reduced the amount of time and resource spent collating information and avoids the pitfalls of planning off-line, such as duplicated effort and out of date information. By connecting the international and domestic teams, activity can now be planned in synergy rather than isolation, leading to improved efficiency.
For M&S, Concrete acts as a hub connecting all teams and employees online. Social planning lets them plan and manage activities and clashes across department, surveys let them get feedback from employees quickly on important initiatives and their engagement hub gives HR a central place to train managers in the best ways to keep teams engaged.

The Woods
Trees are not always able to heal their wounds, spending a lot of stamina, prematurely dying. Enormous damage to forests cause fires. This terrible calamity not only for woody vegetation, but also for all living things. The main reason for their appearance – a violation of fire safety rules people. Killed not only trees but also animals, birds, burned litter and topsoil. Within a few minutes, fire can destroy that which has grown for decades. Fire causes significant damage, even when applied only to the ground and not spreads on the crown.
In this case, burning litter, kill beneficial microorganisms and insects. The fire weakened trees. Attacked by pests, in this regard in due course the trees are dying. In the forest, especially in dry weather, should comply strictly with fire safety rules. Keep in mind: protecting the environment – the duty of every one! Before we expand a fire in a certain place for it removed a layer of sod and include it in side.
Pull out on the lawn dry grass. If the peaty soil, to plant fires are strictly prohibited, as this may lead to the underground fire. When the need disappears in the fire, it must pay, pelting the ground or pouring water, and sod put in its place. In the green areas of cities the fire spread is not allowed. To prevent forest fires clear of dead wood, twigs, debris, hold special firebreaks, the sands are grown the most fire-resistant conifer-hardwood stands. For the early detection of fires in forests used ground-based forest conservation and air patrols, building supervisory tower, fire station, chemical, forestry enterprises are provided with special fire-fighting equipment. For rapid communication in forestry are the radio station. Nonetheless, most importantly the protection of forests from fires – strict rules of conduct resting in the woods, especially in green areas. Everyone who is in the woods, should know the rules of fighting fires. In the event of ground fires fire knocked branches of hardwood, sleep land, flood water, a special solution of chemicals, plows spend mineralized strips, etc. To stop riding a fire is necessary to make fire break. Anyone who saw the fire in woods, must immediately take measures for its suppression. If you do this on its own is not possible, inform the forest guard, police or fire department. Being in the woods, take care of fire security, because the forest – natural lungs of our planet!

4 Reasons Inflation Is Too Low
(Originally published here.)
Worried about inflation? Then you probably think that prices are rising too quickly. But there's a monetary policymaker -- James Bullard, the president the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis -- who has the opposite concern.
Bullard fears that inflation is too low. So much so, in fact, that he dissented in today's monetary policy announcement from the Federal Open Market Committee. Bullard believes that "the committee should signal more strongly its willingness to defend its inflation goal in light of recent low inflation readings," according to the press release.
Prices have risen 0.7 percent over the last year as measured by the index tracking personal consumption expenditures, the Fed's preferred measure of inflation. The rate of inflation has been below target and generally falling since last April. The central bank has an annual inflation target of 2 percent.
If inflation is so far below the Fed target, why is this not more of an issue? The rest of the monetary committee answered that question with a change to their policy statement: "Partly reflecting transitory influences, inflation has been running below the Committee's longer-run objective, but longer-term inflation expectations have remained stable."
Let's take this out of Fedspeak. "Transitory influences" are usually changes in prices of food and gasoline, which tend to be volatile. The Fed recognizes that inflation is below target. But it's okay, they say, because investors and businesses trust them to hit 2 percent inflation eventually.
This is wrong on several counts. Bullard, the lone dovish dissenter at this meeting, is right.
1. The Fed's own projections anticipate that inflation will stay below 2 percent through the end of 2015. Its best guess for inflation this year is just 1 percent. If such expectations become reality, it would mean that in the time since the Fed has adopted its inflation target, inflation has been above the target for three months and below it for 45 consecutive months.
2. It's not clear that inflation expectations remain anchored at 2 percent. Several different measures exist, but one compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland finds that inflation will remain below 2 percent through the "forecast horizon" of 30 years.
3. The Fed mischaracterizes what's driving lower inflation. It's not "transitory influences." That's what core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices and now stands at a 50-year low, is telling us. Another way to see this is in how broadly inflation is falling. The Bureau of Economic Analysis divides personal consumption into 19 sectors -- categories such as "housing and utilities" and "clothing and footwear." Inflation has slowed in 16 of these categories since last year. That's the broadest disinflation since the late 1990s.
4. It's worth asking why monetary policymakers are shooting for just 2-percent inflation at this moment. The Fed has a dual mandate: It's supposed to be thinking about unemployment, too. Keeping these two in balance, as Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota haswritten, would mean tolerating temporarily above-target inflation to help unemployment fall more quickly. Instead, the Fed has chosen to let unemployment fall slowly so that inflation never breaches the target.
The chat in markets is now all about "tapering," or the gradual exit of monetary easing. That's a mistake. The Fed still hasn't finished the job it gave itself.

Preparing skilled workers in a key to expanding middle class
Iowa must focus more attention on training skilled workers if we are going to expand our middle class and help working families recover from the national recession.
A skilled workforce is an incentive to employers. Businesses looking to locate and expand in Iowa want to know that they'll have the workers to make the products and provide the services they offer.
It's estimated that by 2018, 62 percent of all Iowa jobs (1.1 million jobs) will require some training or education beyond high school, which means Iowa needs more skilled workers.
A recent study commissioned by Iowa's Economic Development Authority reported that Iowa's shortage of skilled workers is our state's most serious economic development weakness. Two-thirds of Iowa companies surveyed are having trouble finding the employees they need. That combined with low population growth among younger Iowans suggests that Iowa could face a problem for a long time if we don't take action.
Fortunately, Iowa's outstanding community colleges and nonprofit organizations are preparing workers for local job openings. The Legislature has invested in these efforts, including education, work force development, job training and adult literacy, to ensure the success of Iowa families, a stronger middle class and a growing economy.
This week, legislators heard from students who have taken advantage of new worker training programs to improve their skills and their job opportunities. Pathway Navigators help students figure out what they need to do to get the education and job training that will help land them an in-demand local job. Successful career pathway programs also allow employers to share their perspectives on hiring, technology advances and industry trends that can help develop successful education and job-training programs.
Our community colleges have taken on the challenge of training a skilled Iowa work force, and Iowans of all ages and backgrounds are taking advantage of the opportunities they offer to prepare for meaningful work that will keep our state and citizens competitive.
To contact Senator Kinney when the Legislature is in session, call the Senate Switchboard at 515-281-3371. Otherwise, he can be reached at 319-631-4667. E-mail him at email@example.com.
Senator Kinney is vice-chair of the Agriculture & Natural Resources Budget Subcommittee. He also serves on the Agriculture, Education, Government Oversight, Judiciary, and Natural Resources & Environment committees.

Did you notice anything? This is becoming sort of a monthly thing, isn't it? I swear it's not intentional, but I couldn't pass the opportunity to update you on my life here in the US (regardless if you're interested or not). As promised in my previous post from the same series, I'll rearrange the photos as they were posted, and not as they appeared in my Instagram profile so that they make more sense. Anyway, let's get to it!
one. Roan and I slept on the floor the night before we moved out of his cousin's house because we had already loaded the bed into the U-Haul van earlier on for the next morning's move. | two. I took a photo of my bare feet to support TOMS campaign, which is to give a pair of shoes to a child in need for every photo posted on Instagram with the hashtag, #WithoutShoes. | three. About a month since I had my hair cut short, I went for another spontaneous trip to the salon to get an even shorter haircut. I've been wanting to do it since God-knows-when, and I'm so happy I did because it's so edgy and funk. (P.S. My Mom hates it, though!)
four. I got my legal permanent resident card (green card) in the mail, and both Roan and I couldn't have been more relieved. It's been a pain to always bring my passport along with me to serve as my ID. If only I'd gotten my driver's license already… | five. This photo was taken at our day trip in Balboa Park a couple weeks ago, and it's probably one of my favorites. The tree's roots reminds me so much of something I couldn't quite put my finger on. | six. A photo at The Venetian Resort & Casino in Las Vegas when Roan and I went there for his cousins' wedding anniversary. The clouds were totally fake as this was taken inside the building with closed roofs.
seven. The highlight of our 24-hour stay in Vegas was probably watching the Rock of Ages at The Venetian Resort & Casino. Roan sang to most of the songs in this show, and I was impressed! | eight. A photo I took when we drove by Oceanside a couple of weeks ago. I badly wanted to go to the beach, but it was nearly impossible to do so since we've had chilly weather throughout the entire week. | nine. Taken at Seaport Village (with my photobomber husband) while waiting for Dad's arrival at the San Diego International Airport.
