chuggington characters
The Chuggington Wooden Railway was released in September 2010 to Canada, and on 1 March 2011 to specialty retailers in the United States.
The series is set in the fictional town of Chuggington, and follows the adventures of 6 young novice railway anthropomorphic locomotives, (or "Trainees",) named Wilson, Brewster, Koko, Hoot, Toot and Piper.
In the UK, several children's books are in the works, including Koko on Call: A Nightlight Adventure, based on an early episode.[18] Publications International and Scholastic introduced Chuggington books to the U.S. market in late 2010 and early 2011, respectively.
The Chuggington Interactive Railway was released in the United States in February 2011.
The first series of 52 episodes was sold to broadcasters including the BBC, ABC (Australia), TF1 (France) and Super RTL (Germany) in a deal announced in February 2008.[5] A second series of 26 episodes was purchased by the BBC and many other broadcasters throughout the world.

During training, Wilson and Chug Patrol must evacuate animals from the Safari Park.
Chuggington is a british TV Series which has been airimg in the UK by the BBC since 2008.
Koko loves going flat out, whooshing ahead of the others, and has yet to learn that speed isn't everything.
Koko is painted green and white on her body with purple lining and underbody.
In the Season 2 premier, Koko's New Look, Zephie painted her, out of anger, to look like a pirate.
Unlike Wilson and Brewster, Koko is completely electric and uses her own power directly from the tracks beneath her.
Koko will always own up or apologize and try to put things right, once she has understood the full implications of her actions.
Koko is based on the 0 Series Shinkansen, a Japanese bullet train.
Koko is very confident and loves to explore and have adventures.

Three apprentice engines (called 'trainees' of course!) are learning to ride the rails and perform essential tasks – Wilson (an eager but slightly impetuous red engine), Brewster (a loyal and rugged freight engine) and Koko (whose speed and daring deeds sometimes get her into mischief).
Wilson is a trainee with the Chug Patrol rescue squad and Brewster has joined the Chuggineers – a construction and engineering crew, while Koko learns with Speed Fleet – the fastest passenger trains.
They have lots to learn from their mentors, Jackman- the heroic chief of Chug Patrol, Zack, Tyne and Fletch, the highly-skilled Chuggineers and Hanzo, the fastest chugger in Chuggington.
Old Puffer Peteis a steam train and is the oldest chugger in Chuggington – but he's been looked after so well, he can still chuff up and down the tracks (albeit slowly and wheezily).

My son loves Chuggington, and it's something I can handle too! Compared to Thomas, my kid's other favorite, Chuggington's characters are more vibrant and fun, the storylines are not as repetitive, and ultimately the lessons are more worthwhile.
Sorry, we failed to record your vote.
Well, our little toddler just loves these Chuggington DVDs and that's worth five stars.
This is the only show he stops dead doing what he's doing to watch and the storylines are so cute and teach so many lessons that I welcomed having my little guy watch Chuggington.

In terms of the nature of both series, Chuggington may well be cartoonish, but it is by no means ashamed of it, and nor should it be. It adds to the fun and enjoyment that children must get when they watch this series. Thomas isn't as 'cartoonish' as its counterpart, but in a bid to relate to its audience, relies far too much on elements that the writers believe they will like – alliteration and rhyming are the prime examples here, but at the same time, the over-reliance upon ridiculous gimmicks such as children's parties, picnics and storytelling sessions. In Chuggington, the main characters are children, and they are found to be constantly learning from and observing the 'adult' trains as they strive to be the best that they can be. This value does not translate into Thomas and Friends in its current state at all.
In Chuggington, the main moral ideas seem to be geared toward having a positive 'can-do' attitude. That you're capable of anything if you put your mind to it, which is a wonderful moral to put to children as it will boost their self-esteem, encourage them to try harder and make a go of learning new skills which will aid their personal development. The episodes I have observed as part of this study have taught very positive morals in a very constructive manner – self belief, taking the advice of others and using it effectively, having patience and learning how to deal with jealousy. These are all life lessons that children will need to learn to see their way through life, and the way they're portrayed in Chuggington is very transparent. You're watching something which is entertaining, but at the same time, the lesson the Chuggers have learned is obvious. It's effective storytelling at its best and puts the current stock of Thomas and Friends stories to shame.
However, Chuggington does better Thomas and Friends in one area with its character designs – the human characters. These actually look and feel like real people, and they are fascinating to look at in terms of their looks facially, builds, heights and weights, and it adds real depth to the series. It could be argued that Nitrogen have been working to a precedent with Thomas – for nearly 25 years, the human characters were simply figurines, and to maintain the 'look' of the old series, they have developed the people in the series to match this style, whilst also adding 'life' to them at the same juncture.
Chuggington is a bright, bustling modern metropolis, with opportunities for the characters to go beyond that and into the countryside, which can vary from a set of lush green rolling hills akin to those of the British isles to breathtaking rocky gorges, which would be more prevalent within an American landscape. We can therefore deduce that Chuggington is placed within a 'global' setting, and cannot be pinned down as British, American or Australian, it's simply diverse. Having seen the series redubbed for the American audience whilst holidaying in Colorado in 2010, it translates exceptionally well and the series sits well with any accent, language or dialect! The cast of locomotives is equally as diverse with the three main characters based on British, American and Japanese designs of Diesel locomotive, and living side-by-side with steam, Diesel and Electric locomotives of every 're-imagined' design.
Whilst both series deal with talking trains, the design of the characters are very different. Keeping in tradition with the values of old, any new Thomas and Friends characters are developed directly from real life locomotives, and the designs are followed stringently to create a locomotive which mirrors it's real life counterpart. This is particularly true of the newer designs that Nitrogen Studios are responsible for under their own steam, such as Charlie, Hiro and Scruff, who are far more detailed in appearance than the model designs that have existed since the series began. Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James and Percy still retain their 'toy-like' appearance out of faith to the originals, built by Clearwater Features in 1983.
The engines are basically that, they are railway engines fulfilling tasks that would be expected of them on a railway in the 1950s and 1960s. But at the end of the day, the mechanical nature of the storylines means that personality traits hold no bearing on the Island of Sodor these days – you can basically write a storyline first and then slot the character in second. A prime example of this would be in Diesel's Special Delivery from Series 14 of Thomas. Diesel is a notorious trouble-maker, he used to tell lies, cause havoc and demean the steam engines with threats of scrap – here, we see him vying for the attention of children to be 'clapped and cheered'. Not only is this a huge departure from the original character who simply wished to dominate, it's a storyline which is clearly geared toward a more sensitive and child-like character such as Rosie or Percy.
Quite honestly, this is severely underestimated as a competitor by HIT Entertainment, and they're going to discover that much to their peril if the standard of writing for the series does not improve dramatically very quickly! In terms of story quality, they are second to none. There is always something to engage your interest throughout, they make effective use of their character base, and utilise it to their full potential to create storylines that are humorous, exciting and enjoyable. The subplots throughout push the running time forward with ease, there's always something happening within Chuggington, and it doesn't always have to be focussed upon the 'Character Of The Day' – the supporting cast for the series are well represented, well portrayed and well used.
Thomas, however, isn't the product of a 'creative team'. He and the original stories are drawn from the love between three generations of a family. A father passing on the love of steam and railways to his son, and in turn, the same story repeating itself, but with far more creative results when the Rev Awdry nursed his son through measles with three simple, but moral, railway stories to keep him amused. The story progresses somewhat with the urging of a wife to seek publication, an editor who is so enthralled and encapsulated by the work being produced that he commissions a new book every year for nearly 30 years, the torch being picked up by the same son for whom the original stories were intended, and later grabs the attention of people in media who help maximise its full marketing potential on a global scale.
I had always been intrigued by the differences between Thomas & Friends and Chuggington. However, having never watched any episodes of Chuggington in full, I could not make an informed opinion and chose to believe that the series was somewhat inferior to Thomas, given what I had been hearing from other people. But when Series 15 of Thomas and Friends aired, and left a very bitter taste in the mouth of the faithful older fans, I knew the time was right to explore the other side of the fence.
The energetic and humorous stories are meant to entertain, but also to help equip children from three to six with the practical social and emotional skills required to get along in today's challenging society.

Featuring new wagons and machines, including the massive yellow Mega Chug Crane, and new friends Payce, the tunnel runner from Tootington, and Cormac, the cheeky forklift engine, "Chuggineers Ready To Build" (SRP: $14.98) will help Wilson, Brewster, Koko and little trainees at home discover important lessons about safety, responsibility and teamwork.
Anchor Bay acquires and distributes feature films, original television programming, including STARZ Original series, children's entertainment, anime (Manga Entertainment), fitness (Anchor Bay Fitness), sports, and other filmed entertainment on DVD and Blu-ray™ formats.
The series follows the adventures of three young trainees – Wilson and his friends Brewster and Koko – as they ride the rails and take on exciting challenges that test their courage, speed and determination.
Dick Rothkopf and the other Chuggington creators at Ludorum also believe in the importance of teaching young children and their parents to be safe inside and outside vehicles. The new Chuggington public service announcement is a perfect demonstration of that. They also have a terrific safety website with games, tips, and other activities for kids. And they have agreed to provide information about helmets, bike safety, seat belts, and safety seats in upcoming episodes of their show.
Today, as part of Child Passenger Safety week, Dick and I spent time with the lively youngsters at Harriet Tubman Elementary School here in Washington, DC. The young students, however, were much more interested in our Chuggington friends, Wilson, Brewster, and Koko.
At the end of the day's events, the Tubman Elementary School kids took a pledge to "Think Safe, Ride Safe, and Be Safe," and they were awarded with badges just like those earned by their favorite Chuggington characters. Kids everywhere can take the same pledge on the Chuggington safety website.
He loves things to be perfect and tidy, just as a dustbin engine should be! Note: The Chuggington wooden trains are compatible with Thomas wooden trains and track.
Every episode of Chuggington consists of two vignettes ("Rolling Reporter Wilson," etc.) and a BADGE QUEST segment, in which a shrill loudspeaker named Vee (controlled by aliens?!) hands down tasks to the trainees so that they can get a stupid badge.
The trainees on Chuggington are asked to handle any number of random tasks: shipping freight, pulling the ice cream car (named Frostini, complete with comical Italian accent), or starring as an extra in Action Chugger's shitty action movie.
I'm not saying a bunch of little British twats screaming out the theme song is any better (thanks to "Another Brick in the Wall" and "The Living Years," I am firmly against using British boy choirs in rock songs), I'm just saying that the producers felt compelled to dumb down what was already a dumb British show.
"Lights Camera Action Chugger." The trainees are basically hired as pissboys on Action Chugger's movie set.

Ruby Hollerby Sharon Creech
310 pages, General Fiction
Reviewed by BookGenius
Wonderful read, but some morality issues.
PlotThe "Trouble Twins", Dallas and Florida, are adopted by eccentric old couple Sairy and Tiller and taken to the mysterious "Ruby Holler" to live. The twins long for a place to call home, and Ruby Holler might just be it.
MoralityMr. and Mrs. Trepid lie throughout the story, but in the end, they pay for it. Two teen boys steal, and twice in the story a bird comes and tells one of the twins about a place where everything is magic. It's not clear whether this encounter is the boy's imagination, real, or a dream. Also, a man does think about what happened to his divorced wife, but that's as far as it goes.
Spiritual ContentNone.
ViolenceOne of the twins imagines one of his old foster parents falling into a snake pit, and another one getting dropped in the road by a bird.
Drug and Alcohol ContentNone.
Sexual ContentNone.
Crude or Profane Language or ContentOne of the twins calls everything she doesn't like "putrid." "Golly" and "heck" are used.
ConclusionI would recommend this book to anyone, any age. It was a good read that had a good message. There really isn't anything it that would discourage me from recommending it to anyone.

I can't say I am a massive foodie, nor can I say I love food. What I can say is that I like to eat nice, healthy and nutritional food that will not make me sick by 10pm at night.
For most people food is something they can eat and enjoy be it healthy or a little naughty. For me and many others that suffer from Crohns colitis it can be a little bit like Russian roulette. You see I used to have what I believed where mini food poisoning episodes that happened every night at ten pm followed by a nice little low BP session on the way back to bed. My parents didn't know this as I thought it was normal and my parents believed in themselves in bed by 9.30pm and this was late.
Time fast forward by 20 years and I got a little sick and found I have and have had crohns my whole life ( oh and yeah the Dr said there's NO SUCH THING as mini food poisoning ) I still believe in it.
I asked the doctor about diet and he said that I should continue with what I did as I had listened to my body and discarded all the foods that had made me ill.
I now live my life on fresh produce, I don't eat meat( except whilst pregnant or my body craves it) and basically no breads. I also have fabulously tasty smoothies that give me all my daily nutritional needs.
Does this mean that I can't enjoy my life NO quite the opposite, I no longer get sick nightly and enjoy a happy active life. I don't need medical intervention as I use the food I eat as my medicine. Also I try and stay away from areas that people are smoking ( no offence to smokers I just get sick when I breath the chemicals).
Food for life is so important for everyone not just those with an illness, this is why it is so important that we try to nourish our bodies with chemical free, in season fresh produce. The more chemicals that are in our foods the more resistant we become to medicine from the pharmaceutical companies, which means that when the need arises the most they have no benefit to us.
I know that there is a movement out there to raise awareness to this and I hope that my story helps inspire others.
Stay beautiful and strong everyone.
Namaste 🙏

CRM systems and sales staff are generally not the best of friends. Old-fashioned sales systems generate manual administrative work and require the documentation of sales activities. This is valuable time that your teams would rather spend converting sales leads.
How about a system that lets you record activities straight from your email application? Or a mobile app that gives you at-a-glance insights into your leads? Simply put, a CRM system that provides intelligence through reports you compile yourself.
Features such as social selling alerts give you relevant news about your prospect such as company takeovers, a new product launch, or the appointment of a new CEO. This is the kind of intelligence that allows you to make a difference.

3 in 2008. Well, actually, not even a year ... in a total of three months, I've been stung by three bees / wasps.
Three months = three bee / wasp stings (which provides for much entertainment)
27 years and 9 months = total of *1* sting.
I'm really not sure what to make of this, tho it may be preparation for my next stages in life.

Jhoulys Chacin Is a low cost move but the feel of a small market type move. Cubs would be wise not to go this direction.
Cashner again another small market move. He has lost velocity on his fastball. So this is not the same arm they traded.
Yu is the only upgrade to Arrieta. They are not going to gain value via FA
On upgrading Lackey any would do but honestly I would shy away from any multi year deal.

Description of Castlevania
First in a hit series that is still going strong on the Nintendo 64, Castlevania is the first and only entry that was ported to the PC.
The plot is standard kill-the-Dracula fare, but what the game lacks in plot innovation, it makes up for in spades in the sheer playability, ingenious level design, and a LOT of great atmosphere. Although the graphics in this PC version is far inferior to the NES classic, and the wonderfully eerie music is missing, the wonderful level design and very addictive gameplay are still here to glue PC gamers to the screen for hours on end.
While most other platform games feature "typical" weapons such as the rifle, and standard go-to-the-right-forever-and-climb-some-ladders level design, Castlevania gives you a cool Indiana Jones-style whip that is useful for more than plain monster-kiling. The levels are very expansive, and navigable in more than one direction: sometimes you will be walking left, then up the ladder, then over the chasm (using your trusty whip to swing from ceiling hooks), then to the right, then inside the doors and so on. This makes navigating the levels very "realistic" -- the first three levels comprise one castle, then you are tossed into the dungeons, from where you finally emerge to enter the second castle, where you are greeted by Frankenstein himself at the entrance.
In addition to great level design that is never repetitive, another hallmark of Castlevania is the numerous famous undead who stand in your way, each with his (its?) own attack style. As end-level bosses, they are extremely difficult to defeat. Frankenstein, for example, is not only very tough, but comes with his helper, little Igor who jumps around throwing fireballs at you. Dracula himself is one of the toughest bosses you'll ever find in an action game, and it'll take you a good part of the hour (if not days) to defeat him.
All in all, Castlevania is simply a must-have for every action gamer. The lack of NES' graphics and great soundtrack is more than made up for by the brilliant gameplay. Just make sure you have a high tolerance for frustration, because you'll definitely need it. This is a game that inspired countless clones and spawned numerous sequels, although none of them was ported to the PC. Highly recommended!

My first experience with Stan's tire sealant wasn't exactly ideal. Going up the Roxas trail in Maarat, I tried to ride on a deep rut and the rear tire blew out. My bike was covered with sealant mixed with dust. Needless to say, Caloy, All Terra's wrench, wasn't too happy when I brought it to the shop for a bike wash. After that, I went back to good old dependable tubes. I placed the bottle of remaining sealant on the top shelf of our bookshelf and was never touched since.
I was partly to blame for this mishap. Despite reading from NoTubes.com that my IRC Mythos tires aren't recommended to be converted to tubeless, we still pushed through. In hindsight, we should have heeded the warning, but we were young and carefree then. How can something wrong feel so right? Right.
I think that was more than a year ago.
Enter 2010. The IRC tires are long gone; replaced by the Kenda Nevegals that were endorsed by John Tomac. With all the wonderful dirt tracks of Camp Aguinaldo and Fort Bonifacio on top of the usual haunts of Maarat, La Mesa and Licao-licao, I looked at the bottle of Stan's sealant gathering dust and thought: maybe it's time to try this again.
I think the mountain bike gods are trying to tell me a message when I bumped into this instructional video while surfing Singletrack.com:
I think it's time.

Initially, we're going to raise money for little poor kids in Africa who, without us, wouldn't go to school next year.
Let's get stoked about this! Seriously, I want energy and excitement to rush over us and make us feel like we overdid it on the Fun Dip. Remember when you were seven, and everything was awesome? Remember running to the Christmas tree and seeing all those video games, Barbie or Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles figures, or Furbies? Well, instead of plastic junk and malfunctioning Tickle Me Elmos, we are going to give these kids a future. They are gonna be so pumped when, out of the blue, they're told that someone has paid for their school fees and helped pave the way for a solid livelihood. We're going to change the course of several lives and give these kids a chance, one they desperately want and would otherwise not receive. What an honor!
Education assistance is a real need in Kenya. My contact in the community, a college-educated Kenyan woman who has devoted her life to serving this poor community, wrote to me, "Thanks for contacting me . . . this has been a need in our hearts and we have not been able to do it but God has his plans of opening good ways." We're going to be one of these good ways.
Alright, here's how it's going to work…
Every month, I'm going to post a new fundraising challenge on both my blog (rgrblog.wordpress.com) and this page. I'd like everyone to accept the challenge. It's going to be fun, it's going to be uplifting, and it's not going to be all that difficult. Of course feel free to give beyond what the challenge asks of you. At the same time, if the challenge in a particular month doesn't ask anything of you, don't feel compelled to give. Without further adieu, here's the challenge for the month of October:
October 2013 challenge:
● This challenge will kick in when you go grocery shopping, except, however, when you go merely to, say, buy tonight's dinner, milk and eggs, or some gummy worms or M&M's to satisfy a craving. In other words, for the challenge to arise, you must be shopping for more than a minor amount of groceries.
● If you're shopping for a normal or larger amount of groceries, the challenge will be to (1) abstain from buying a single, unnecessary item OR to replace that unnecessary item with a cheaper alternative and (2) then give the money you would've spent on that item, or the difference in price between the two items, to this charity.
● The item can be whatever you want it to be—a two dollar bag of chips, an eight dollar steak, a five dollar bottle of wine, or even a fifty cent stick of gum.
● For whatever it's worth, this is how I plan to do the challenge. I plan to grocery shop as a normally do, picking up all items I would normally pick up. After getting into a checkout line, I plan to set one of my grocery items aside. I'll then get out my smart phone, log on to crowdrise.com/funraisersic, which is "optimized for all mobile devices," and donate that item's value to charity. That's it—a small sacrifice for us, a potentially monumental gift for a third world kid, one who in a lot of ways is just like me and you.
The funds will be safely funneled through the non-profit JL, Patt & Friends Inc., a North Carolina based charity headed up by Dr. J.L. Williams. Interestingly, I first met JL in the Nairobi mall that was recently attacked. During that encounter, he convinced me to go with him on a missions trip to South Hoor, Kenya, a place to which he's been going an average of one to two times per year for a decade or more. It was in South Hoor where I met the two boppers in the photo, Joput and my man Huntingtu. Since coming back to the States, I've been in touch with JL, and he's happy to channel all the funds we raise to the South Hoor kids. If you have any questions, let me know. In the meantime, let's have some fun and help some kids!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter Vivienne isn't the only family member featured in mum's new Disney film Maleficent - the couple's adopted kids Pax and Zahara also appear with their tutors.
Jolie has revealed that the siblings have uncredited roles in a christening scene at the beginning of the film.
She tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "They're with their teachers. The idea of that day was the prince and princesses from around the world show up for the christening, so there will people of all races, all creeds.
"It was Pax and his teacher, who is Vietnamese, playing the Vietnamese Queen and Prince and then Zahara and her teacher playing the African or Nubian queen and princess.
"I had to walk by them being very mean. Of course, I wanted to stop and wink at them."
Little Vivienne portrays the young Princess Aurora, aka Sleeping Beauty, in the film.

This year, the city of Roseville will spend about as much to fund its pension plan as it does on parks and recreation.
San Luis Obispo County will spend five times as much on pensions as it does prosecuting criminals.
And Stanislaus County's pension costs will be nearly double its $23.5 million general fund budget deficit.
The initial logic of increasing retirement benefits to retain quality employees has been turned on its head: Paying for those benefits is forcing local governments to lay off employees – and cut programs.
The old joke is that General Motors is just a health insurance company that makes cars on the side," San Luis Obispo County Supervisor Adam Hill said during a pension presentation at a recent board meeting. "My concern is that the county government is becoming a pension provider that provides government services on the side."
Yet today's escalating annual pension payments barely touch the looming shortfall: $28 billion in unfunded liabilities – the difference between what pension systems have and the pension benefits their employees have earned – at the 80 largest city and county governments in California, according to an extensive Sacramento Bee review of pension plan valuation reports.

Supporting Your Student's Mental Health
Whether your student is transitioning from high school or has already been away from home for awhile, it is not unusual to wonder what role you should play in supporting his/her mental health. Although the young adult years are a time when students build their autonomy, a robust support network is still important for good mental health. Often, the best thing to do is to offer to be available if your student needs you, and to work together to determine what you can do to be most helpful to him/her during the school year. Below are a few tips:
Familiarize yourself with local mental health resources.
We know that U-M students turn to their parents for reliable health information, so you will want to be informed about available resources and encourage your student to become informed as well. See our resource database for information on mental health and other support services.
Stay in contact.
Although your student should be becoming more independent and taking on more responsibility for managing his/her own mental health, it is still appropriate for you and your student to discuss how things are going. Respect your son or daughter's boundaries and work together to come up with a plan for staying in touch that feels comfortable for you both. Email can be a good way to stay connected, but it's also wise to plan for the occasional phone call. You can often sense things in your student's voice that may not come across over email.
Know how to recognize your student's mental health symptoms.
Other people are often the first ones to notice when someone may be entering the early stages of a mental health episode. Even when someone can't pinpoint an exact concern, she/he can sense that a loved one is acting "differently" or that "something is wrong." Take some time to reflect on symptoms that your student may have experienced in the past that indicated something was wrong, and give yourself permission to tell her/him if you notice any of these symptoms occurring again (whether they occur while your student is home during a break or you sense something over the phone). Have a conversation with your student in advance about how to communicate your concern in a way that will be comfortable for her/him to hear.
Don't be afraid to ask about suicide.
- Asking about suicide does not put the idea into someone's head.
- It is best to be direct and non-judgmental.
- ALL talk of suicide should be taken seriously. If you are concerned that your student is at risk for suicide, call Psychiatric Emergency Services at 734-936-5900.
- See the Jed Foundation website for more tips about what to do if you are concerned that your student may be thinking about suicide.
Preparing for a healthy transition to college
We recognize that the transition to college can be an especially stressful time for both students and parents. If your student has a mental health disorder, you may be especially anxious about how he/she will handle this transition and wonder how you can support him/her. We encourage you to start talking with your student early about preparing for college and about how his/her mental health condition will be managed while at U-M. Below are tips for helping your student make a healthy transition.
Start planning prior to your student's arrival on campus.
Students have a lot on their minds, especially in the first few weeks of class. So it can be easy to forget about things like insurance, medication, or staying healthy. See our checklist of tips for a smooth transition to help your student get started. Included are steps to help ensure ongoing care, and to address medication and insurance issues.
Encourage your student to make a plan for mental health and wellness.
Planning is a key component to staying healthy and succeeding in college. All too often, students wait until mental health symptoms become severe before taking action. Our plan for mental health and wellness allows your student to make a customized plan to recognize mental health symptoms early, create strategies for managing potential stressors, and plan for treatment and support.
Talk to your student about staying healthy.
It can be a good idea to talk with your student about issues he/she is likely to come across, such as how to handle stress and how to make good decisions about alcohol or drug use. This can be especially important if your student is taking psychiatric medication. Make sure your student knows what medication they are taking and how alcohol or other drugs may interact. Try to remain non-judgmental, but make your expectations clear. The self-care strategies section of this site has tools designed to help students maintain their physical and mental health.
Create emergency contact plan.
It is important to create a "back-up" plan in case there is a time when you are unable to reach your student. It can be a good idea for you to have the contact information for someone who is likely to know how to locate your student, such as a roommate or resident hall advisor (RA). In addition, if your student signs an authorization to contact form, you may also be able to have contact with his/her treating clinician for more urgent matters. We also recommend that students fill out an emergency contact card to keep in their wallet.
We recommend that you visit the Jed Foundation's website transitionyear.org for more information about supporting your student's mental health during the transition to college.

There's something about sweet treats that unite people, especially the sweet-toothed. That fluffy raspberry cheesecake, gooey chocolate tart, and that beautifully decorated donut. They just seem to tug our heart strings and we can't help but get them off the shelves. Sweet treats are probably the very reason for my existence!!

Guide to Stockholm, Sweden
Guide to Stockholm, Sweden
Stockholm's good looks and fashion sense could almost be intimidating. But this city is an accessible beauty, as easy to explore as it is to love. Without a shadow of a doubt, Stockholm is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Built on no fewer than fourteen islands, where the fresh water of Lake Malaren meets the brackish Baltic Sea, clean air and open space are in plentiful supply here. One-third of the area within the city limits is made up of water, while another third comprises parks and woodlands. Surrounded by pristine forests and a vast archipelago. What's not to love? As a result, the capital is one of Europe's saner cities and a delightful place in which to spend time.

hey lydia - hope that you are coping well x thinking of you and yours x
Rossini's birthday falls on leap year according to google, so he's only 59 instead of 200+
Today also marks the day that my friend who has been keeping me sane at work left - which means that although we hope to keep in touch there is no hope for my sanity now
cute post :) hope all is well! much love!
It looks like a lot of "up in the air" characters are celebrating today. Hope you've had a good one, too.
Blessings and Bear hugs!
Pixies~ Thanks, and I am coping alright. Losing Abby has been hard but each day is better.
Aha, Rossini was a "leapling"! I found that term when working on the post.
So so sorry about your work friend leaving. Believe me, I know how a good person can keep you sane at work, so you will really miss him. I do think you will not lose your sanity, however. :)
Amber Lee~ February was an intense month here, and I'm kinda happy to welcome March. It was so good having a greeting from you and I'll see ya soon. Love to you, too.
Rob-bear~ It was a pretty good Leap Day, in part I think because these photos cheered me. Thanks for your happy wishes--much appreciated.
ha i love your leap pictures...
and now MARCH! may you have a bit more SPRING in your step...lol
Brian~ Okay! I would rather have spring in my step than March in step.... :)

Self Description: I do not expect too much from life and I am ready to contribute my own happiness in relations with a man. I am very open and sincere and I have no hidden thoughts and ideas. What you are looking at is me, really ME. also I am a very serious and responsible lady who has strong family values. I like active rest and keeping fit. People say that I am punctual and reliable. I like to take care of my appearance but I value inner beauty as well. I am a strong woman with a sensitive soul.
Comments: That is impossible to describe a person with whom I will spend the rest of my life. Because all people want to see in her/his partners only good qualities but nothing is so simple. Every person is unique and there must be a balance of good and bad qualities. So if you have this balance and you also like to smile, to make people good and you are really ready to meet me you would be Welcome by me. Thanks a lot for visiting my profile.

Author Name: Nicky Newton-King, CEO, Johannesburg Stock Exchange
1. Could you give us a bit of background about your exchange?
The JSE was formed in 1887 during the first South African gold rush. Following the first legislation covering financial markets in 1947, the JSE joined the World Federation of Exchanges in 1963 and upgraded to an electronic trading system in the early 1990s. The bourse demutualised in 2005 and listed on its own exchange in 2006.
Today the exchange is a diversified, full service exchange offering investors a range of markets namely equities, debt and derivatives (currency, equity, commodity and interest rate). We provide primary and secondary markets as well as post-trade services. We also sell market data and regulate primary and secondary markets. The JSE is one of the Top 20 exchanges in the world by market capitalisation, which currently stands at around US$1.12 trillion. There are currently 384 companies listed on the JSE. Though still home to a range of resource companies, these make up only 24% of our Equity Market in market capitalisation (JSE market capitalisation) terms, with Consumer goods, Financials and consumer services sectors (industries) making up 26%, 18% and 9% of market cap respectively (Stats as at 14 May 2014).
2. How active are foreign investors in your exchange? How accessible is your market?
The extent of foreign participation in our markets varies depending on the specific market in question but for equities and bonds it averages between 25-35% of daily activity. The JSE markets are fully electronic and remotely accessible from anywhere in the world. There are no restrictions on foreigners investing in South Africa and a liquid currency and liquid equity and bond market ensures that they can enter our market easily.
We believe strongly that investors should not be constrained in their investment decisions and as an emerging market exchange we therefore focus on making sure that market risk is the only risk consideration that investors have to deal with; working with our listed companies and government representatives to "sell" the SA story internationally; and not losing sight of our domestic investor base. While foreigners are a large part of our market and we will always seek to attract foreign investment, the core of our investors are local investors and we have to remain relevant to their needs.
3. What new project/product are you currently working on?
The JSE has a roadmap of large projects, many technology-focused. To focus on a selection of our current projects:
- We are moving our other markets onto the same trading technology as our equities market, provided by MillenniumIT. We currently have international participants in our derivatives markets but once we move onto a new platform, it should be easier for international participants to access these markets. In addition, it will also align the performance of the various markets. We will continue to invest in the best, relevant technology for our markets with the aim of increasing liquidity for all participants.
- The decision to migrate to a single trading platform for all our markets also necessitates implementing a new clearing solution and we have selected Cinnober for the development of a new multi-asset clearing technology platform. We believe this holds real promise for delivering enhanced trading and market data services to clients, more efficient margin through cross-product offset and unlocking product growth opportunities for the JSE.
- We are working to shorten the settlement window for equity market trades from the current five days after trade date to three days, with a consequent reduction in settlement risk. Phase 1 of the project went live in July 2013. Work on Phases 2 and 3 is also progressing.
- Lastly, we have recently launched our collocation facility which allows JSE customers to place their trading equipment closer to the JSE's trading and information systems. The colocation facility will initially provide space, power, cooling, and physical security for 35 racks for clients' trading equipment.
4. What are the challenges you see in your market today and in the future?
The challenges in our market are not unique and include the flow of global capital, as directed by the evolving response of global monetary authorities to the financial crisis, as well as changing investor sentiment toward developed and emerging markets. While these challenges will continue to affect the environment we operate in, the JSE believes that what is important is to continue to focus on running our markets properly and avoid the temptation to overreact to change. It certainly assists to offer a diversified range of products and services, as we do.
While there can be a heightened sense of risk in emerging markets, exchanges must ensure that they mitigate those risks that fall within their control. Thus, rules relating to market participation must be clear, consistently applied and understood. Technology must work faultlessly. The JSE works hard to stay ahead of industry changes and to know how to deal with its implications for our industry.
The JSE welcomes our regulator's long-standing commitment to aligning with global financial regulation standards so that these are appropriate for South Africa. The impact of such regulation has been positive in the sense that the quality of our regulatory regime has received wide acclaim and this goes a long way in influencing investor perceptions about our market.
5. How do you assess your exchange`s position at a time of increased globalization?
A more globalised investment community means that the JSE competes with exchanges around the world to attract both investors and possible listings. It is impossible for any exchange to control all the factors determining where investors choose to allocate their funds or where companies choose to list. Factors like regulation and economic policy and prospects are just some of the things they consider.
As an exchange, we ensure is that we operate in such a way that market risk is the only concern investors have when they trade here. We can ensure a safe and stable trading environment so investors know that they will always receive their shares and cash when they trade here and that our systems will always be up and running.
Globalisation has also provided us with new opportunities because more investors have become aware of the trading environment we can offer them here. A more interconnected world has not only resulted in international investors taking increasing notice of emerging markets, and of late especially of Africa, but allowed for uncertainty and unfamiliarity over trading in these markets to be reduced.
While the JSE can help investors access the African growth story, though are credentials obviously extend further than this. The World Economic Forum assigned South Africa the following rankings out of 144 countries in its 2013-2014 global competiveness survey:
- Ranked first for the effectiveness of regulation of the South African securities exchanges for the third consecutive year
- Ranked first for protection of legal rights
- Ranked first in terms of auditing and reporting standards
- Ranked first in terms of effectiveness of corporate boards
- Ranked second for soundness of banks
- Ranked second for availability of financial services
- Ranked second in ability to raise finance through the local equity market
Interconnected financial market also means that aside from the well-developed institutional investment market in South Africa, the JSE also has strong links with international markets. This means that companies are able to access the capital they require through a JSE listing and receive all the benefits of an international listing with the higher associated costs.

Definition about Stones and Crystals for Healing and Insight For Centuries Healers and Native people have used Gemstones to direct Energy in order to Balance the Mind, Body, and Spirit. While this might seem mysterious, modern Science has shown that Gemstones are "built" with well-ordered atomic structures. Already stones and crystals have been used to filter or funnel energy for a wide variety of uses. Crystal healing is the belief that crystals have Energies and Properties that are able to Improve Health. Crystal healers say that it works because everything is Energy and Vibrates at various frequencies and that crystals work via these vibrations. Every living thing has a Vibrational Energy System, which includes Chakras, Subtle bodies and Meridians. By using Crystals, they can allegedly retune an energy system or rebalance a body's energies, thus Improving Well-Being. Crystals have been used for Healing Divination, and by those seeking a Spiritual Awakening since Time immemorial.

Today, I am on and I am at another cyber, so I will see if I can send anything. It may just be because of a newer camera, but I will try right now. Okay, from this cyber I can send photos.
On your "Where is my apartment photo," look at sectors A with B and G. The corner there has a slanted street headed northwest. We are the first house on the right on that street right at the corner of A, B and G. That should help you find it.
The whole red sector is my area. The part south of Bollenar is Elder Brush and Elder Orozco´s sector. They have it easier, because they have all of Bollenar as their sector. The church is in either M or N, just so you know.
Awesome! I assume this is your companion and the other two on bikes behind you are the Elders you room with. I love you so much!
Yep. This is north of Bollenar crossing a bridge and a river toward Chorombo. It is about 3 kilometers from Bollenar. We were headed to lunch 14 kilometers from Bollenar. We have a lot to do. Anyway, we bike the entire sector and only use busses going to Melipilla.
Yep. This is north of Bollenar crossing a bridge and a river toward Chorombo. It is about 3 kilometers from Bollenar. We were headed to lunch 14 kilometers from Bollenar. We have a lot to do. Anyway, we bike the entire sector and only use busses going to Melipilla.
We have had to tighten my pedals, because they loosen up daily and we have had to replace many parts that were stripped and the chain falls off often. I still need to get an air pump and replacement tubes and a lantern to mount on my bike for the evenings, because it is dark at around 6 or 7. We bike around 15 miles daily, if not more. We have a lot to do and never enough time. I have spent around 15 hours on bike maintenance this week and I have had a popped tube, flat tires, brakes that don´t work, gear changes that don´t work, and many other issues. Every day of this week my bike has had issues, so it has been challenging and exhausting, but now my muscles are used to the torture and are feeling better. Overall the week went by very quickly, anyway.
I figured the first week would feel a bit like torture. Is there a store nearby where you can get parts for the bikes? Is your bike the worst one of the four since you have the least seniority there? Do you have a photo of you and your bike?
Not yet. There are 6 bikes. The other two elders have new bikes, because members from the ward mentioned how bad the bikes are to our mission president. There were 4 before that, but those two have the new ones. There is a guy who repairs bikes in Bollenar and we have been going and working on getting him to replace some of the parts on the bikes that are bad for new ones and looking for the problems and fixing what we can. We have been buying and fixing them up. My companion has had more experience with bikes, but still he has had problems with his bike. Right now, he doesn't have brakes... We are trying to get them fixed up, so we can focus more on the work. Our leaders know that the bikes are breaking down daily and it is possible that they will get us new ones, but still we are working with what we have. We have taken parts from the other bikes, replaced anything and everything possible and now we are getting to the point where we barely have problems. We are doing what we can, little at a time and we shouldn´t have many more.
I wasn´t able to take a ton of pictures, because on a bike it is hard to take pictures and I don´t want to crash or break my camera, so I have a few. I will send but not of the new house or the bikes yet. I will look into it this week. I have a few of the landscapes and sector from when I stopped a couple times.
The church is in M right where the point of the yellow push pin is. I already looked up the address for it online. Here is a screen shot closer up.
You are now at 500 feet above sea level. Your last area was about 1500 feet above sea level. It should be easier to breathe as you are killing yourself on your bike. 15 kilometers is a lot of ground to cover, but it will be great for your health. Always think positively!
Is your house the one on the right or the yellow one on the left?
The one on the left with the black gate. That small house in there. Also, they are doing maintenance and repairs on our house now, so it is getting better. Just so you know, just going to lunch was 14 kilometers and then we had to go back so 28 and a mile is 1600 meters, so 1.6 kilometers is a mile, so you get the math to how much we bike. I biked over 20 miles the other day....
Things are going well. We had 15 new investigators this week, but none attending and we did not have less active members attending, but we had both of our retention attending. Retention are the new members. That was really good. One of our retention is blind, so we try to stop by and help him when we can. We visited him 3 times this week and a brother in the ward picks him up in his car on the way to the church on Sundays. He is great. We are working to take both of them to the temple on the 13th of June. Things are going really well and there is a lot to do all the time.
Do you shop for groceries in Bollenar or Melipilla? Do you carry groceries on your bike or walk to the store and back?
I am glad you have many people to teach. I hope you can get them all to attend their meetings. Are any of them families? Who are the retentions? What are their names? Tell me more about the people you are teaching, where they live and what they do for a living.
Are you enjoying this area? Where do you have your District meetings?
We have reunions in Melipilla. We do all of our selective shopping Monday in Melipilla. We can buy some things in Bollenar, but if we want more things then we have to get them in Melipilla. So far, I have gone toward Chorombo and Maria Pinto. The people we are visiting live between those two separate roads. Our retention is Carlos Delgado. He talked yesterday for the first time in church. He is 20 and we are visiting his family as well. He lives with his parents and siblings and is the only member. His mom and sister are living with other guys, so they need to get married to be baptized and aren´t attending, but we have visited them. Hernando Cruz is the blind member and lives alone.
We shop in Melipilla, and then take a bus to Bollenar and walk in to the house. There is a small shop on the street at the top of sector G where there is a little shop. We can buy things like bread, eggs, and other things there close to the house to not have to carry as much. I am out of time and will answer your other letter and then I will be off and I will send a couple more pictures quickly.
It sounds like you have been working hard and smart. That is good. I told Dad he should have spent more time teaching you how to repair bicycles. I am sure you will be an expert by the time you get home. I am glad you don't have to spend the money to buy your own bicycle, but a new one would be less work. Are you riding uphill, downhill or mostly flat roads? It looks to me like it would be uphill to get to your sector and downhill to get home.
Ok on the photos. Try to take some photos this week with you and your companion, the other Elders in your apartment, your apartment, your bikes and the people you are working with. We would love to see who you are teaching and know how we can help them by praying specifically for their needs and your needs. Specific prayers can make a big difference. It will be Fast Sunday next week. What can we fast for that will help you the most?
The sector is uphill and downhill there are rolling hills.... Generally up going out, but still with ups and downs that are tiring. I will send a few photos right now. More than anything pray that the people arrive at church. That is the hard part here. It is the distance. We are doing all that we can so that they understand why they need to do everything in the gospel. Most people give excuses and we have heard them all, so I have gotten used to it and know what people need to hear generally, but they have their agency. More than anything, pray that we encounter people prepared to be baptized and that we find our purposes here in this sector.
Here are the pictures leaving Diego de Almagro. I have a couple more, but I don´t have time to send them all. Ask Camila and Guillermo to send you the pictures that they have? You can say "Elder Goode dijo que deben enviarme las fotos que tienen con él." They will understand that they means Elder Goode said you should send me the picutes that you have with him. They mentioned it, but I don´t know if they have sent them to you. Also, can you send Soley a message with my mission email? I forgot to have them put a . between my first and last name so if they write I won´t get it. Can you fix that for me?

A few landscape photos to help. I am out of time once these come through. Thanks for everything and I will talk to you next week. I finished reading the New Testament yesterday and started Doctrine and Covenants yesterday, as well. I am in section 11. I am also in Alma 5. I need to study more, though. I want to get through a lot more material.
What crops do they raise? What are in the long buildings that are everywhere? What is in the ponds that are by the buildings? We see these all over the area of Melipilla. The left road is going to Chorombo and the right road is going to Maria Pinto.
I love you so much and we are all so very proud of you. Work hard! Be diligent and obedient! The Lord will bless you to be successful.
Love always and forever,
Those are barns where they store chickens and raise them to eat. Chileans are crazy about chicken....
Yes. I will write to her today.
Thank you I appreciate it. I gave Camila and Guillermo the correct address, but I made a mistake when I was with Carlos and Soley. Thanks for everything.
Thank you for serving and be willing to work through the tough times and the killer bike issues to serve the Lord and these wonderful people. Imagine your life without the love of Camila, Guillermo, Carlos and Soley. It would be lacking so much. A mission is definitely worth every sacrifice. Keep on keeping on. I love you, Son.
