Finalist in the Foreword Reviews INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award
This story of one Australian family from 1808 to 1998 is based on real people and some fiction to fill in the gaps. Many names were changed and other events deleted to respect living family members. A history of Australia as it affected the family through the generations, it commemorates the supreme sacrifices they made during war and hardship. Called A Stunning, Generation-Spanning Epic one reviewer says Smith has managed to bring the microcosm of a fascinating and complicated family in line with the macrocosm of global history over the course of more than a century.
In 1935, Ruth was in born to an unmarried Jewish mother in Germany. Fearing the Nazi persecution, Ruth was sent to England on the "kinder transport to be raised by a Church of England priest. He raised her both as a Christian and a Jew. Her faith enabled her to build bridges between different groups, even at an early age. She grew up to become an engineer, became a giant in the largest construction company in the world, where she developed and implemented the unique social interaction system that would unite people from different backgrounds and beliefs.
Based on a special unit to create movies and newspaper articles designed to reassure the Australian public that their coastal cities were safe from invasion, this work blends fact and fiction in a tale showing the development of the unit, along with the romances and intrigues that developed. A loved one goes missing in action, folllowed by surprising events that include developments in Hollywood, Canberra North Queensland and war-torn south-east Asia.

Although Laurie Gough
was an intrepid traveller who had explored wild, far-off reaches of

strange, and foreign than any land she had ever visited.

Maggie is a World War I Canadian nurse serving in France, who falls in love with a soldier involved in the underground effort to end the war.
The choices she makesabout her lover and his radical politicslead to dramatic consequences both during the war and after, when they return home to the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike.
This is a gripping story, with realistic depictions of the "mash units" very close to the battlefields, as well as descriptions of the situation in wartime Britain, where soldiers and nurses enjoyed brief respite and were able to socialize.
Susan Taylor Meehan based this book on the life of her great-aunt, who frames the book. The second half gives the reader insight into life in Winnipeg after the war, when Maggie is swept up in the dramatic General Strike.

Cavanila's words echoed amidst the ruins of the 17th century B. C. E. earthquake on what is now the Greek island of Santorini (Thera). But what that 20-year old Minoan priestess would soon learn is that far more disastrous events were about to threaten her entire civilization, one of the most powerful and advanced in the ancient world. And what she could not have foreseen was how her commitment to her people's survival would challenge her inner strengths and force her to struggle through a series of increasingly more daring and portentous decisions the outcome of which would put her self-respect and well-being at risk, and change her life forever.
After a career in the biomedical sciences, Jesse Sisken has devoted his energies to the study of ancient Greece and the photography of modern-day Greek islands. This novel, Cavanila's Choices, is the first of a series set in those islands.

Alex Binkley's first venture into science fiction comes after a long career as a journalist.
Having barely avoided self-destruction, an ancient race has expanded to eight other worlds. While the Beings have explored Earth repeatedly with their flying saucers, they didnt consider the primitive Terrans worth contacting. That changes when their worlds came under attack from a relentless, mysterious foe. The aliens offer to repair Earths ravaged environment in exchange for pilots and soldiers to fight their enemy. The First Earth Expeditionary Force battles in space and on the ground while trying to unravel a link between the enemy and the lost civilization of Atlantis. Theyre also caught up in understanding the motives of robot-like creatures that serve the aliens and discovering the origin of centuries old ruins on several planets and a seemingly uninhabited community under a protective dome.

Born in Bristol, England, Anthony (Jo) Johansen grew up with the sea. His love of ships and sailing led him to a fascinating life in the British Merchant Navy. This book is filled with his adventures, as he lives through the Blitz, travels the world, encounters some unforgettable characters, and faces dangers, not the least of which is the dreaded rogue wave.
Sometimes we fear to try new things, but in Fair Wind and a Following Sea Johansen tells of all sorts of challenges that he sought out and met with courage, enthusiasm and an ironic sense of humour. Following his adventures is an enjoyable read.

From a review of The Eyes That Shone,
Reviewer: Michael Doherty
At a time when many people are fascinated by Who Do You Think You Are? along comes Philip Donnellys entertaining and observant memoir of his personal journey from 1940s rural Ireland to Canada in the late 1950s. Its a gentle, informative tale that brings to life a pre-electrification Ireland when community (in this case, communities in Cavan and Meath) meant everything. The glue that binds Donnellys story together is his relationship with his first wife Nancy (born in Chicago but raised in Dublin), who passed away in 2001.
Well illustrated with some fascinating photographs, The Eyes That Shone is a story that will resonate with many who grew up in an Ireland unacquainted with the Celtic Tiger.
Words to Live By, a memoir by William Whitehead
Published by Cormorant Books
This is a charming account of the life of William Whitehead, from his childhood in the 30s, through three decades as a documentary film maker, and his 40-year relationship with Timothy Findley. Their partnership was both professional and personal, and Bill was the man at Tiff's side at every public appearance, as well as his travel companion and in many ways his collaborator. During their years at Stone Orchard, the farm they shared with many cats, Tiff wrote in longhand. Bill then transcribed each chapter into the computer and read it aloud to Tiff so they could discuss it. The book is full of delightful anecdotes about many of their famous friends in the theatre and literary world. It also reveals a great deal about Tiff's personality and shows how crucial Bill was to keeping him stable and sober. More on Terzo's blog about the connection between Tiff and Simon Teakettle.

It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very difficult to acquire that "perfect balance" between superb usability and appearance.
I have to admit that you've done a fantastic job with this particular.
Furthermore, the blog loads super quick for me personally on Opera.
Outstanding Blog!
Asking questions are actually pleasant thing when you are
not understanding anything fully, but this piece
of writing offers pleasant understanding even.
Hello, I log on to your blog daily. Your writing style is witty,
keep it up!
Great article! We have been linking to this particular great content on our site.
Maintain the excellent writing.
Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a twenty
five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now
broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but
I had to share it with someone!
Here at Essential Components, we've got the most powerful formula of Garcinia Cambogia, at 1600 milligrams per serving with 60% HCA concentration.
Those people who have known garcinia cambogia can also
be familiar with a superb fruit called mangosteen.
This is my first time pay a quick visit at here and i am truly
impressed to read all at single place.
An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment. I do
believe that you should publish more on this issue, it may not be a taboo matter but typically folks
don't talk about these topics. To the next! All the best!!
This study analyzed the effects of Garcinia cambogia extract on mice over a
period of 4 weeks.
I read through this article fully concerning the difference of newest and previous technologies, it's remarkable article.

6 Things the Academy Awards Can Teach Authors
The Oscars are more than an embarrassing stroke-a-thon. They actually can teach you a lot about being a better writer and author. If you're paying attention.

Guest Blog: Gregory G. Allen On The Working Writer
When people ask me 'what do you do', isn't it strange I still don't say "I'm a writer"? Instead, I talk about my day job. You know – the one that pays the mortgage, the bills, and allows me to be a working writer.
But just what the heck is a working writer anyways?

Fiction 'n' Nonfiction Sittin' In a Tree
Writers can be a bit territorial. It takes so much of yourself to be a writer of anything that people get a little . . . what's the word? Prickly?
Yeah, let's go with prickly. It's a nicer word than "arrogant" and I'm not really trying to start trouble here. I just want to stand by nonfiction's side and say that I sanction a peaceful coexistence between fiction and nonfiction. I like them both and they both have a right to live.
What we've had for some time now is tolerance between the two camps. Poop on tolerance. Tolerance is an ugly word. Tolerance means "You suck, but since I can't do anything about you, so just don't bother me." What we need is acceptance.
As wars go, this one between fiction and nonfiction is delightfully non-destructive. The worst it gets is just really, really annoying. Fiction writers bust out the Rudyard Kipling ("Fiction is truth's older sister") to remind us that news stories, biographies, scientific fact books, and histories are all just works of opinion, really, and, therefore, are not the actual truth. Fiction, on the other hand, is pure. There are no lies, just representations of the writer's soul.
On the other hand, nonfiction writers condescend fiction as make-believe. Not a word of it actually happened, they say — it even says so in the disclaimer that no part of the work is real. Nonfiction, therefore, is important. Instructive. Real.
Okay, everybody. . . take a breath and relax. Everything's all right.
The disharmony, at least to me, seems to be over the words "truth" and "fact." Truth changes, fact doesn't. Truth is a product of its time and of those who perceive it. Who's the nicest guy in the world? Ask ten people and you'll get ten different answers, all of which will be the truth to the person answering. No one is lying, they all just see things differently. What's two plus two? Ask everyone at any point in history, and they will all say four. That's a fact.
If nonfiction, then, were to be judged on its adherence to inarguable facts, then the only true nonfiction would be mathematics books (not science books, because science changes all the time). And that would be really boring reading. Even Einstein liked detective stories.
I make no greater point this week than this — it's all good. Fiction has its value and nonfiction has its value. Both have their strengths and their flaws. So let's, everybody, stop fighting over which is the more valid. It doesn't matter.
And that's the truth.

About my weight loss..
Last year while I was writing and releasing my new book I got into some terrible (worse than usual) habits around food. I was using foods - specifically bready/sugary foods - very alcoholically. That is, I was locked into a cravings-binging-guilt cycle that was very reminiscent of my boozing days.
I was hyper aware of this dysfunctional behaviour. I knew very clearly whenever I was binging beyond normal 'treating' of myself (i.e. being a total and utter pig) because I often felt sick and really bad about myself afterwards. I could also clearly see that my worst binging came when I felt low emotionally or was dealing with something stressful or gritty.
And the scales were climbing up and up and up. One day I climbed on and saw that I was on the cusp of my highest weight EVER. This was my trigger number one to change.
My second trigger to change came at almost exactly the same time. I was listening to an online conference and they interviewed a woman who was talking exactly my language about food - like .. big time! Her name was Dr Susan Pierce Thompson and she was a recovering addict herself who had switched her addiction to food after getting sober. She talked about flour and sugar having the same impact on the brain as alcohol does and explained the programme she had developed that was working for many, many people.
I got her book Bright Line Eating: The science of Living Happy, Thin & Free immediately and half started following her programme by cutting out flour and sugar. The cravings stopped which was great but I wasn't losing any weight so reluctantly I started doing her full programme (I was reluctant because it involved weighing portions and I was embarrassed that I needed to get the scales out to weigh my food every meal).
But I'm so pleased that I pushed past my reluctance and embarrassment because FUCK ME THE WEIGHT JUST STARTED DROPPING OFF! Her programme is bloody brilliant because a lot of the time I'm not that hungry - just the right amount of protein and veggies to keep me going until the next meal - but the results have been dramatic.
To date I have lost 14kg (nearly 31 pounds)!! Her plan is quite detailed but I'm not going explain it here because it's all in her book and I really recommend you get the book because there is a lot of science and explanation in there about how our brains and bodies work which is so empowering.
I can't recommend it highly enough to anyone who wants to lose weight but mostly wants to be free from that awful cravings/binging/guilt cycle around food that is extremely soul destroying. I do still slip and eat those foods sometimes and then have to combat cravings for a few days until they've gone. But for the most part I live without these foods and happy.
Long may it last!
Love, Mrs D xxx

You look great! It's been my "secret" too. I don't eat sugar (or white flower or bread). When I do, I binge, just like I did with drinking. Sweets are not safe around me -- I can't have them in the house or I will binge. I realize this now, and the weight really does fall off. I'm going to check out Dr. Thompson's book for some reinforcement.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Mrs. D. ; )
This is so terrific. I do believe that everything is inter-connected: our diet, our spiritual lives, our escape behaviors! I did it in reverse: I lost 22 pounds through more mindful eating from last July through September, and then realized that the last frontier was dropping the wine at night. I am on day 121 AF; my blog is six weeks old at mereismindful at the blogspot. Thank you for your help and inspiration!ReplyDelete
I am going to order this! I've noticed I am having horrible urges, even though i ate enough to be stuffed. It is mostly around salt, though.ReplyDelete
I'm nearly at the end of your book Mrs D, and I have loved it. Between you and Clare Pooley, I have been able to see myself as I have been (Numb Brained Gulper Of Wine) and as I want to be (Clear Headed Swigger of Tea). I'm only at Day 5 but have returned to my old love of blogging to keep track of these early days. I just wrote a post about you and Clare, actually xxReplyDelete
I am nearly done reading your second book and the mindfull thing sounds really great I keep looking at objects and REALLY thinking about them. Then telling other people (which is where it falls down i think).ReplyDelete
I am now on day 70 and feeling ok. life has thrown some shit at me recently (just found out i have to have a hip replacement, at 42 :(...) and my son had ADD. BUT i have managed to get through it all without a vino, of which i am very proud of myself. I usually like to exercise a lot but that has had to take massive steps down atm cause of my hip, so have felt sorry for myself. But i will get there. now I just need to focus on not eating the shit i have turned to consuming without the wine. I don't think I'm ready to step away from sweets yet. Agirls has to have something... xxx
14kg weight loss is amazing, well done! I've been a sugar binger for most of my life. I'm now in possession of the bright line book & I'm already 3kg down! Thanks for recommending & sharing xReplyDelete

You Might As Well Give The Dog A Spin-off Also! Whitney Port's New York Show Gets Approved! 25.Sep.2008
WhitneySo Whitney Port's spinoff of The Hills has been officially approved but then what is up with this Audrina getting her own show crap?
Plus, really who from The Hills is not getting a show: Brody and Frankie, Speidi (yup I used it), Audrina and Whitney. That leaves only Lo and Stephanie.
And no one wants to watch Stephanie (who has totally stolen Amanda Bynes' haircut which wasn't great to begin with) or bitchy Lo.
Though Lo can be funny. Of course, I never thought Lauren could carry a show because she pretty much has no personality just a lot of pretty hair.The girls

At Long Last
OK I finally said fuck everything and decided to finally write a new post since its long, long over due- going to address a lot of different things as importance and as I think of them. The catalyst for me writing this is when James called me the other day (probably a week or two now) but regardless he told me Peter found his half life game around the house and was going to give it back. Paul, give me my fucking DVD back, and if you broke it give me money so I can replace it. Since me telling you this means absolutely nothing to you I will say something you do care about. You claim to be a Christian (fundamentalist from what I can see but that aside) and if that's true there are certain things from the bible you follow like the 10 commandments. Now I know its been awhile since I read the bible but I seem to remember that one of the commandments was thou shall not steal. Now for about a year you didn't steal it, you were just borrowing it but since you really don't give a shit about friendship I am taking it to stealing. And I'm not just saying this to pull at your religious strings (best phrasing I can think as opposed to heartstrings) I actually took the time to talk to a preacher and his interpretation to this was yes this is stealing. So just wrap it up, put my address on it (obviously you have the address since you took several months to find it by asking everyone but me) and mail it, or give it to Peter to give to James to give to me, or whatever. Or else you are just another Christian hypocrite which fuels the source of hate for James and myself. As long as I am on the subject of hypocrisy I might as well get into the fact that I have started listening to a

The Canon Powershot SX510 HS is packed with plenty of features. As well as having a wide range of manual controls the big attraction of this model is its 30x zoom lens. This type of lens gives you a great deal of flexibility. As well as being able to zoom in on distant subjects it is also equally at home when you are taking panoramic landscape shots or photographing groups of people.
Its feature set makes the Powershot SX510 HS a good choice if you see photography as a hobby. In many ways it is similar to a Digital SLR, but with the convenience of not having to worry about changing lenses for different types of shots.
If from time to time you find 30x zoom is not enough, Canon have equipped the Powershot SX510 HS with a feature called Zoom Plus. This increases the amount of zoom available to 60x, giving you one of the most powerful cameras around.
When you are looking for creative control, manual features include shutter priority, aperture priority and fully manual exposure. There are also extra white balance options for colour control, compared to more basic digital cameras.
Other features include a 3 inch LCD screen, the ability to GPS tag photos, Full High Definition Movies (1080p) and Wi-fi connectivity to make sharing your photos easy.
Sorry. I am unable to find any prices for this product.
Consumer Tip What is included in the price can vary from retailler to retailler. For example some prices may include free delivery, a battery charger or extra memory cards. We would always recommend comparing the offers of more than one shop.

When it comes to preparing beds for flowers, vegetables, or shrubs, you must do it properly to ensure success.
Before planting, do a thorough job of removing any weeds that may have grown in the bed. If it's a new bed, remove any existing turf. Be sure to be thorough about this as well. Turn the soil to a depth of eight inches and then spread a two to four inch layer of organic matter, such as compost, over the turned soil. Organic matter loosens the soil and helps with drainage.

Cardiff, 10 March 2015<\/strong> – Data released by leading property consultancy JLL shows that direct real estate investment in Wales hit a record-breaking £0.7bn in 2014, up 97 per cent on the previous year.<\/p>
These figures, set out today (10 March) at the launch of JLL's South Wales Report 2015, follow the news that direct real estate investment in the UK hit a record £65 billion in 2014 – a 16 per cent increase on 2013.<\/p>
Justin Millett, director of capital markets in JLL's Cardiff office<\/strong>, said: "There are a number of reasons why the UK and Wales have performed so well over the last 12 months. The UK as a whole is seen as the global centre for cross-border investment and has been fuelled by increased investor confidence in the accelerating economy, as well as fierce competition for assets and strong pricing in London.<\/p>
"In Wales, the investment market is considered good value, with yield return on investments higher here than in other regions outside London."<\/p>
Whilst it is the office market that traditionally attracts the headlines in Wales, the strongest performing sector in capital markets was retail and leisure. Of the £0.7bn investment pot, the single largest contributing transaction was the £156 million sale of the Parc Troste out-of-town retail park in Llanelli to M&G in August 2014.<\/p>
In contrast, the largest office investment traded in 2014 was the sale of Ty Hywel to a Kuwaiti family trust in March in a deal worth £40.5 million. The growth of alternative sectors such as student housing and leisure has been a significant trend. An example of this was the £12 million sale of a hotel and three leisure units at Imperial Gate on St Mary Street, Cardiff, to L&G in November 2014.<\/p>
Millett continued: "Strong pricing in London allows investors to realise gains and look to the regions for good value investment opportunities. The regional market is at its strongest, with volumes up from 51 per cent in 2013 to 58 per cent in 2014, showing a real shift of emphasis away from London where volumes dropped by 3 per cent last year. <\/p>
"Looking ahead, we expect 2015 to be another record year, though the rate of increase will slow markedly not least due to a lack of stock. More importantly, however, is the uncertainty surrounding the UK general election which will inevitably lead to a slowdown in volumes as investors digest the prospects and implications."<\/p>
According to Chris Sutton, lead director in JLL's Cardiff office<\/strong>, the occupational markets have seen a rise in the number of transactions with a welcome return of inward investment in both in the office and industrial markets.<\/p>
Office market activity is dominated by Central Cardiff Enterprise Zone, with significant schemes such as Capital Quarter and Central Square.<\/p>
Testament to increased confidence in the Wales market, Deloitte announced plans to expand its operation and transfer some specialist functions from across the UK to the Capital's enterprise zone, promising to create 500 new jobs over the next three years. <\/p>
Sutton continued: "We should celebrate the fact that businesses like Deloitte and BBC Wales are choosing to expand in Wales which, in turn, is leading to much-needed new development, including increased speculative development of Grade A office space."<\/p>
In the industrial market there has been another marked increase in take-up particularly for large units of over 100,000 sq ft. The headline inward investment transactions last year included the opening of Pinewood Studios Wales at Wentloog and the expansion of Tenneco Walker Automotive in Methyr Tydfil. <\/p>
Sutton says "However, there is also a welcome increase in 'build-to-suit' high-bay units for the logistics sector with Aldi in Wentloog, Bidvest 3663 and DPD Geopost together representing a potential 750,000 sq ft of new development in 2015."
The current Welsh planning system is set to change in summer 2015 when the Planning (Wales) Bill is expected to secure Royal Assent.<\/p>
Sutton explains that how Wales implements this Bill will determine whether the new planning system rises above that of England: "Planning is often quoted as a blocker to development and a drag on new investment. This bill should bring strategic direction to the plan-led system and secure improvements in development management." Sutton concludes: "The Welsh economy has undoubtedly moved into a period of sustained recovery, and there is a more positive picture both in terms of employment and business investment. <\/p>
"Going forward, the outlook for South Wales is positive and the record activity in the capital markets in 2014 illustrates there is continued investor confidence in the region.<\/p>
"However, the immediate lack of available Grade A floorspace in both office and industrial markets is emerging as a key issue for Wales and is a clear opportunity for both developers and Welsh Government to consider."<\/p>

All Christians agree that the Bible has a great deal to say about ethical behaviour. The prophets were deeply concerned with the welfare of the poor and the oppressed. They almost despaired of the heartlessness of those who wielded economic and political power.
Similar concerns are evident in the words and deeds of Jesus. He said, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God" (Luke 18:25). Jesus' ministry was devoted primarily to the marginalized in society.
In Making Moral Decisions: A Christian Approach to Personal and Social Ethics, Paul Jersild identifies at least five different sets of presuppositions with which Christians have approached the Bible in their endeavour to pick up the tune of the Biblical mandate.
The Bible provides a moral code. Those who subscribe to this view generally hold that the moral imperatives in the Bible are clear, consistent, and comprehensive. One can appeal to the Bible for guidance on every conceivable situation in life. On any given issue, the Bible says the same thing everywhere. It is now the obligation of Christians to implement what the Bible says.
The Bible provides moral direction through the example of people of faith. According to this view, one must look for moral principles rather than for specific moral commands. One gleans these moral principles from reading the biblical stories about people of faith.
The Bible's moral impact flows from God's involvement in history as Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier. According to this view, it is the nature of God which provides moral direction. For guidance in moral dilemmas one does not search for individual biblical passages which may be relevant to the question at hand. Rather one asks what is the responsible thing to do for people who know themselves to have been created, redeemed, reconciled, and sanctified by God.
The Bible reveals God's plan of salvation, while our moral response depends on our particular church heritage. This view emphasizes that what one regards as morally responsible at any one point depends to a large extent on the deliberation of the church, based on the best exegetical insight of the day.
Arland J. Hultgren illustrates this claim by citing the 1925 ruling of the Augustana Lutheran Church on divorce and remarriage ("Being Faithful to the Scriptures: Romans 1:26–27 as a Case in Point" in Word & World XIV, Number 3, Summer 1994). He reproduces the relevant sentences from the 1925 document: "The Synod steadfastly adheres to the doctrine in the Bible … that marriage cannot be unnulled or dissolved except by death, adultery, or … desertion … ." and "The Synod … solemnly cautions its pastors against officiating at the marriage of divorced persons, except in the case of the innocent party, when legal divorce has been granted on the ground of adultery or … desertion … ."
Since this ruling was initially formulated, the church has shifted a great deal in how one applies and implements this teaching of scripture. Today we are convinced that there is no such thing as an innocent party in marriage breakdown. We are all guilty and in need of forgiveness. Today's church is convinced that God not only grants forgiveness, but graciously offers the opportunity to make another attempt to create a committed and lifelong relationship with a new partner.
The Bible does not in fact give us a unified, coherent basis for moral life. This view observes that readers often use the Bible to confirm their own pre-conceived notions of what the Scriptures say about the moral life. One should recognize that at different times and under differing situations, not only does the Bible give differing moral directives on a given subject, but that morality is not even at the heart and centre of the biblical witness. The acknowledgment of one's sinfulness and the assurance that Christ has died to reconcile sinners to God is more important than moral behaviour.
Jersild argues that none of these five views are either completely right or completely wrong. He maintains that the Bible is not primarily concerned with morality, although it does contain great moral substance.
People of faith must struggle to find answers which are both faithful to scripture and appropriate to the needs of the present day. When the Bible does offer moral imperatives, these commands should not be regarded as the final word for today, says Jersild. For example, rules relating to male–female relationships need to remember that we are not living in the Roman Empire. The structure of the family, particularly the status of women, has changed greatly since then. Thus the Bible does not provide ready-made answers to all of today's problems.
We must recognize that there is no one perfect way for implementing the will of God. We deceive ourselves when we think that we can live in such a way that we "have no sin." One should not just pick and choose any one of these five approaches. Rather, one must be aware of the merit, but also of the inadequacy of all of these approaches.

Today I had four lessons to teach. For two of the lessons I was left alone with no teacher to teamteach with or discipline the class.
One lesson went ok as I was able to communicate enough to teach and they were well behaved. The other class was diabolical as they could not understand me and I had to revert to really easy stuff instead as had no JTE to help.
Meanwhile the teachers that should have been present were snozing in the staffroom.
I feel let down and frustrated. Surely they know they are not supposed to leave me to teach by myself??
Has this happened to anyone else and how did they remedy the situation?

Reflection on Fema Training
Reflection Paper on FEMA Training
Irene R. Diaz
Lamar University
By providing a means of prevention practices a school can actually eliminate or minimize the crisis all together (Cavaiola & Colford, 2011). This statement is very clear and true in my opinion. A crisis can be as small as a car wreck or as large as hurricane (FEMA, 2012). Being a counselor, you must be prepared to handle all crisis's that may occur in your community, whether it affects one student or the entire school district, you must be able to respond to the need. "Individuals, families, and entire school communities are sent reeling in the aftershock of most crisis events. The manner in which schools cope with such events, both during and immediately after them, often determines how quickly the schools return to some level of pre-crisis equilibrium (Cavaiola & Colford)." With this in mind, I believed that taking the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) certifications would better prepare me for a crisis that could occur in our schools or community. Living in the Fort Hood area, it is imperative that the counselors be able to help the students with any crisis that may occur. I was surprised at what the modules covered and what seemed to be a repetitive nature of the topics. The modules presented an overview of how the hierarchy of command should be set up and followed. It defined each level and what positions should be activated depending on the level of the crisis or which position does not need to be activitated. They explained who was in charge and what would happen if the crisis grew and how resources are handled. They defined and informed what each level did and what group would handle matters for a crisis situation, such as Logistics, Operations, Planning, and Finance.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Springfield man has been charged with sexually assaulting his friend's 14-year-old daughter.
The Republican reports that 37-year-old Christopher Phelps pleaded not guilty Friday in Springfield to charges of rape of a child by force and indecent assault and battery on a child under 14. Bail was set at $100,000.
Prosecutors say the sex assaults had been happening for several months before Phelps' fiancée found emails describing them on April 8.
Authorities say Phelps had known the victim's father for years and has known the victim since she was born.
Authorities say the girl told police the sexual contact began when she was 11 years old or younger. Police say she told them her and Phelps began having sex when she was 14.
