Crafty Critters: GappyGOBS' Helen & Wilma
It's that time again - grab a cuppa and get ready to learn all about a new small business owner and their pet in my latest Crafty Critters interview. I have such fun writing the questions for this series and scrolling though instagram accounts looking at photos of cute pets - living the dream!
For this month's Crafty Critters interview I chatted to Helen of GappyGOBS: a one woman, one pug business which sells personalised portraits as prints and cushions as well as other accessories, all with a focus on pets and animals! Let's find out some more about them (oh yeah and there might be some photos of a pug wedding in there somewhere!)...
How and when did gappyGOBS begin?
gappyGOBS launched at the end of 2015. I was an illustration graduate working 9-5 in a fairly creative marketing job, I was lucky to have it, but didn't feel fulfilled. I wanted to make my own rules and build my own brand. I got my arse into gear and started making things happen for myself.
When and where did you get Wilma and did you always know you wanted a pug?
Wilma came into my life with a bit of a bang. The opportunity arose to adopt her (for free) from a friend-of-a-friend that wanted to find her a home quickly. She was a breeding pug, and after a relationship breakdown she was no longer wanted. I loved pugs and had always imagined getting one at some point of my life.. It was an impulse decision to take her on - and probably not really thought all the way through - but I was worried about the sort of hands she could get into, as she was still able to conceive a litter at the time. She changed my life completely and I have never looked back!
What advice would you give to people who are interested in getting a pug?
Invest in a good lint roller – they malt. A lot! I would recommend doing some research to see if they would fit into your lifestyle. They have huuuge personalities; Wilma makes me laugh every day and OMG she is the cutest, but there are a few things to think about: They struggle in the summer and are prone to separation anxiety. They also snore like a small wildebeest.
Pugs are great, but are often victims of their own success and irresponsibly bred for money. So please consider a rescue pug! I wrote a blog post that goes into a bit more detail you can read if you are keen to get one.
You do a lot of pet portraits - tell us about some of your favourites.
There are so many! I love being commissioned for both pet portraits and custom pet cushions as I get to hear about other pets and how they have made an impact on customer's lives (..so cheesy, but true). I often ask for a little description of the pet's character – mainly for my own amusement – but it's always fun to capture that personality in their portrait. One of my favorite portraits was one I created for @thevnicelife of her two Chihuahuas and Pomeranian. They have such expressive faces, and I really like how the arrangement of multiple pets turned out.
A pet cushion that stands out in my mind was of @Rubenthepersian for Rachel from Oh No Rachio. He was a pretty big character on Instagram, and unfortunately passed away. There was a prevalent feeling of sadness across the online community of creative pet owners. It was nice to create something for her to keep and remember him by.
How do you find balancing your day job with running gappy GOBS? Your 9-5 job is quite creative too isn't it? How do you avoid creative burnout?
A few days a week I work in Marketing for a Music Education Agency. I love my job, but it is very different to create content and artwork to fit an existing brand and please a team of people. So I treat that and my business as two quite separate beasts. Working on gappyGOBS is very much like playtime for me! It is so liberating having such creative freedom and I really enjoy being boss.
To avoid creative overkill, I try to mix up my schedule and always make time to exercise. I attend a few gym classes a week; go running along the beach as well as the daily dog walk. I really noticed a difference in my mood when I made exercise a part of my daily routine. It helps me to unwind, disconnect from technology and the rush of endorphins is a lovely little pick-me-up.
You switched up your business 6 months in, phasing out some products and bringing new ones in. What made you decide to do that?
When I began, I was still very much an artist with no clue about business. So in the early stages of gappyGOBS I was still experimenting and testing the market.
A main passion of mine was Wilma. I was posting a lot of photos of her on Instagram and I think I began to build a bit of an audience based on this. The pet-related products began to sell much better than others, and in all honesty, I loved my new focus on animals so much more! I really enjoyed communicating with this tribe of like-minded pet-fanatics. Once I had found this niche, I was a much happier designer and the business really began to thrive.
Wilma recently got hitched! Tell us a bit about her special day and what inspired you to host a doggy wedding.
Wilma and I moved into a shared house with 4 humans and a male pug named Buddy. It wasn't love at first sight, but slowly they grew quite fond of one-another. They followed each other around, started play fighting and I noticed Wilma really come out of her shell. She seemed so much happier with a little companion to make trouble with! The idea of a dog-wedding came up one day, it seemed like a really great theme for a party, so we did it! It was such a funny day; we constructed a balloon arch for the alter in the garden, we had bridesmaids, vows, and guests dressed up in wedding attire. Our neighbors watched the ceremony out of their windows!
What are some of your favourite instagram accounts to look at for cute pets?
I love seeing Lemon Freckles' pair of pugs in her wonderfully colourful home, Winny the Corgi is up there as a firm favorite as well as Bruno the Mini Dachshund, Hello Harriet's cats and Kayley Mills' guinea pigs in their fun curated scenes for something a little different! I could go on for hours…
Big thanks to Helen for taking the time to chat to me about the lovely Wilma. Look out for their adventures on instagram, look for #wilmathebear for some puggy goodness!
You can catch up with what Helen's doing on her website where you'll also find her blog and her shop. Her custom pet cushions would make the best Christmas gift, but be quick as the cut off date for orders is November 15th!
All photos are courtesy of Helen's instagram except the last three which are @lemon_freckles, @kayleymills and @_helloharriet. _Photo of Ruben the Persian cushion originally posted by @onrshop.

Leading mobile broadband provider 3 is to launch a revamped Mi-Fi device, boosting consumers who enjoy using web services on the move.
The internet service provider has teamed up with Huawei to offer a new Mi-Fi product which converts a 3G data connection to a local wireless network.
Consumers can use the Huawei E585, which comes in a stylish black model, to create personal Wi-Fi hotspots for up to five devices.
This characteristic may appeal to those who have purchased an Apple iPad tablet to complement their laptop or desktop PC.
Other changes from the previous Mi-Fi offering include an improved OLED display, and the removal of flashing LEDs to indicate performance.
3 is set to launch the device next month at a retail price of £49.99 on its pay-as-you-go mobile broadband packages, with other service options to be announced.

West Lancashire Community Safety Partnership (WLCSP) is working to ensure that Edge Hill University's new students have a safe and enjoyable time whilst studying and socialising in the borough.
The Partnership, which includes the University, has an excellent track record of delivering a large programme of activities to integrate students safely into the community. The annual partnership Welcome Week programme will start in earnest when students arrive on Sunday, 17 September. WLCSP members view this period as an ideal opportunity to provide key safety and welfare messages to the students and its work has previously been received well by local residents.
Many aspects of this programme will extend beyond the initial Welcome Week (which used to be known as Freshers' Week) when returning students will be given the important messages.
Dave Tilleray, West Lancashire Community Safety Partnership chairman, said: "The Community Safety Partnership wants to welcome Edge Hill University students to West Lancashire. We have made a lot of effort to ensure plans are in place to help local people and Edge Hill University to integrate students into the area during the first few weeks of term."
Edge Hill University will distribute Halls of Residence & Student Handbooks to all students, containing information on safety, security and behaviour. University staff will ensure students are inducted into their responsibilities as citizens in our local community.
During Welcome Week, partnership members will be in and around Edge Hill's campus on St Helens Road to offer help and advice to new students and provide assurance for the wider community.
The Police have a dedicated patrol plan and, with the help of funding from the Community Safety Partnership, will have extra officers on local streets during the first two weeks of term. There will be foot patrols until 3am, particularly on key nights for Welcome Week activities as identified from information provided by the University's Students' Union.
Councillor Kevin Wright, West Lancashire Borough Council Portfolio Holder for Community Safety, said: "Welcome Week is a very busy time and the Community Safety Partnership has an excellent plan in place for this period once again. I would like to reassure residents that all relevant organisations are working together on their behalf. This partnership working provides excellent value for money as the agencies work together to ensure the Welcome period runs smoothly."
Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service will give fire safety talks to first year students and carry out fire safety checks on student accommodation across the borough. They will also deliver a crashed car demonstration to the Welcome Fayre and provide road safety information.
In addition to regular Saturday night patrols on Saturday 23 and 30 September, Ormskirk Street Pastors will have volunteers on extra town centre patrols between 10.30pm and 2.30am on Friday 29 September.
The Council's Environmental Enforcement Team will also be undertaking daily patrols of Ormskirk for the three week period visiting all known student properties to provide advice in relation to waste, re-cycling and noise.
Fay Sherrington, Edge Hill's Director of Student Services, said: "As we approach Welcome Week 2017, Edge Hill is proud to continue its participation in the Community Safety Partnership initiative. Ensuring our students and members of the Ormskirk community are kept safe is of paramount importance to us, and we work closely with the CSP to support a safe, secure and welcoming community environment. We're continually communicating crime safety messages to students and also encourage them to be neighbourly and become active members of the local community."
West Lancashire geographic policing Inspector, Adrian Jolly, said: "In consultation with the Community Safety Partnership (CSP) we have devised a comprehensive multi-agency plan to ensure that Welcome Week is a success and passes peacefully, keeping disruption and anti-social behaviour to a minimum. Alongside the other CSP members work, we will be facilitating increased foot patrols in and around the vicinity of the university and town centre. Residents and students alike will be re-assured that there will be a visible police presence throughout the Welcome period."
Matthew Hamer, Service Delivery Manager West Lancashire District, said: "This will be Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service's 13th year delivering fire safety advice to new students living on campus as well as those living in rented accommodation off site. We have seen the number of call outs reduce significantly over this time and we will continue to deliver these important messages."

The role of Modern Technology and Science is increasing and has major impact on day-to-day lives of today's people, as it will in the future. One way or another, advancements in Science and Technology are affecting people all around the world, in New York and in an unknown place in Africa. Technology affects people's lives by improving medicines, provides better treatment for diseases and insures a longer life. It improves transportation by helping people move from one corner of the world to other in hours by using transportation services such as Airways, Railways, or even Bus Transportation. Modern Technology changed people's lifestyle and the way they live. For example, now it's possible to surf Internet on TV, watch programs, pause Live TV, and even playback live shows. Internet surfing is a technology revolution. Because of that technology, a person could know what is happening on the other side of the world, chat with others about different matters and even talk using Instant Messaging Services. Watching TV on computers too is possible. Due to Internet, it is now possible to say that the world is at your fingertips. Recent discoveries and scientific breakthroughs such as Cracking the DNA code and Mapping the Genome may completely change the way people look even before they are born. Parents can change color of their unborn son's eye from blue, black or brown. Diseases that are passed through generations, like diabetes, chronic diseases may be eliminated from the unborn child. Such changes will create a child who is disease free and completely immune from world diseases. This might be helpful, as people would be healthier than before. Due to genetic alteration it maybe possible to extend human life expectancy, therefore an average person may possibly live up to 150 years healthily.
Human life has totally changed since arise of science and technology. We have reached upon top of our life by the help of science and technologicalthings. Science and technology has totally revived our life
Science in Ancient India
The Contribution of India to the world of Science & Technology dates back to ancient times. India had the best of the scientists in different fields of science and technology – mathematics, medicine, architecture, astronomy, geometry, chemistry, metallurgy, etc. Aryabhatta was a fifth century mathematician, astronomer, astrologer and physicist. He introduced the concept and symbol for Zero and the decimal place value system to the world of mathematics. Bhaskaracharya introduced Chakrawat Method or the Cyclic Method to solve algebraic equations. Kanad, a sixth century scientist developed the atomic theory which says that the material universe is made up of anu/atom, which...

Date: January 23 and 24, 2016
Location: Seattle, WA and Portland, OR
It's that time again in the Pacific Northwest—time to support the American Lung Association and compete in our one and only multi-multiclimb event! Saturday January 23, the Rainier Tower "The Pedestal" (40 floors, 520 vertical feet) will welcome roughly 300 climbers for one of the more competitive races in the region. Then Sunday the U.S. Bancorp Tower (40 floors, 530 vertical feet) will host another roughly 300 climbers for the same formats. The great thing about these two races is that climbers only have to pay one donation and a discounted entry for both races.
Both races have 4 options: a 40 floor sprint and 80, 120, or 160 floor multi climb distances. The competition is arguably tougher in Seattle, however climbers who do both races will attest that the "Big Pink" in Portland is the harder of the two buildings. There are always a good dozen or so climbers who make the trek for both climbs. Hopping the Amtrak Cascade is a great way to relax and enjoy the beautiful PNW countryside. Highly suggested for anyone wanting to visit for the race.
Both climbs do not separate the men from the women. PJ Glassey, Tristan Roth, Daniel Dill,
and Crossman brothers are just a few of the names you may see at the top, however there are some very strong athletes who climb just one event.
Check out the list of 2015's winners:
40 Floors PJ Glassey X Gym 4:45
80 Floors John Andrew X Gym 10:38
120 Floors Kevin Crossman X Gym 15:52
160 Floors Tristan Roth X Gym 18:45
40 Floors Calon Russell 4:29
80 Floors John Andrew X Gym 10:57
120 Floors Charlene Weaving 22:24
160 Floors Tristan Roth 18:52
The ALA runs a great, coordinated, and fun event, one that is capped off by spending time in both amazing cities. Finishing the event in Portland may be even sweeter than Seattle. The food is excellent; while in Portland you have to try the food trucks, too many to count, or grab yourself a Voodoo Donut. Yes you read that right, a doughnut. Especially one topped with bacon. You will be glad you did.
The cup points for these races are concentrated in the shortest and longest climbs (75 point per gender apiece!), the 40 and 160 floor distances. Be sure to enter these for the maximum TowerRunning USA points!

And wasn't that when you turned up, I ask, when you took up with me? When was that exactly? When was it you led me up the garden path?

'Teen Wolf's' JR Bourne on the Return of Conflicted Hunter Chris Argent
Teen Wolf's Chris Argent (JR Bourne) and generations of his family were raised to hunt werewolves. To effectively do that job, he was trained to be lethal, remain calm under pressure and keep his emotions in check. Even when Chris' teenage daughter Allison was killed during a fight with demons at the end of Season 3, he compartmentalized the loss and ultimately left town with Isaac.
Now, with his sister Kate back from the dead and the mysterious Benefactor targeting supernatural beings, Chris has come home. However, it's quickly becoming apparent that not all wounds heal easily.
Bourne spoke with Spinoff about Chris Argent's return, his dysfunctional family and whether he could possibly be this season's big villain.
Spinoff Online: Viewers have been anticipating Chris' return ever since he left Beacons Hills last season. Where has he been all this time?
JR Bourne: Chris has been in a severe state of grief and confusion. I think this is the most confused he has ever been. He touched on it in season three about taking a break from hunting. His daughter's death might have been the final straw for him. He's been off dealing with that and with his sister Kate. He knows she is up to no good. He's been busy.
How is he dealing with Allison's death? What is his frame of mind?
That's what is causing everything. The loss was so much. It's put him in a state of anger, so much frustration and maybe even resentment. Where does he put it all? Where does he put that hurt? Does it go into what he was trained to do or does it go somewhere else? That is the result of the loss of his daughter.
Obviously, there are plenty of raw emotions bubbling beneath the surface. Does Chris blame Scott or Stiles for what happened to Allison?
I don't know if he's pinpointing anyone or if he's looking at it as a group. It's a great question. I don't know if I got specific with that when I was looking at the season this year. I think it's more of this entire world. Does he blame that rather than just one person? You'll see.
Kate is his sister and now a were-jaguar. What are his thoughts on her transformation?
Wow. That's everything against the code. With my wife, we did what we were meant to do as hunters. We sacrificed her. My sister realized she was about to turn. The code says you have to sacrifice yourself. It's always been that way with the code. One of us follows the code and one doesn't. The fact she's turned and become this thing is against everything Chris stands for.
Can you tease how their little family reunion goes down?
It is a family reunion you definitely don't want to be present for. You wouldn't enjoy it. You know those family reunions you go to and then you have a drink and quickly get out of there before it gets any more comfortable or awkward? That's us.
With Isaac gone, will Chris be bromancing it up with Derek again or spending more time with the other pack members?
There isn't a bromance with Derek. I think we would have all liked to see that. We had some great stuff together in Season 3, but there are so many things that everybody is dealing with, not only as a group, but individually as well. We weren't able to find that time. Argent is pretty alone.
What else can we expect in Season 4?
In the next few episodes, you're going to see the family reunion. That's something you don't want to miss. Pretty quickly, you're going to see the state of mind of Argent. That's going to be exciting and scary. And we'll see the state of the group.
Will he becoming more of a father figure for these youngsters?
That's interesting. I sort of thought of that as well. Again, we're going to see too many other things going on. Everybody is too preoccupied to deal with those issues. We're gearing up now and it just doesn't slow down.
How will Chris' hunting skills be put to good use?
That you are just going to have to keep watching to find out. They definitely get put to the test. I do love that stuff. There's always action on Teen Wolf. People are going to be happy with what's coming next.
Are Kate and the Benefactor two separate threats or will those storylines collide?
That's a good question. I don't know what I can say. I don't want to give away any spoilers. Jeff [Davis] has done such an amazing job creating this multi-layered threat for everybody. It's not going to be long before you figure that kind of stuff out.
Some speculate that Chris could be the Benefactor. Does that make sense to you?
I have come across that. There's a long list of potential suspects for the Benefactor. There's a long list of Beacon Hillers that could fit the M.O. I'm not surprised, but you're just going to have to keep watching.
With roles on 13 Ghosts, Secret Circle, Exorcism of Emily Rose, Fringe, Butterfly Effect 2 and Stargate, do you naturally gravitate towards genre roles or has it just worked out that way?
It's just worked out that way. It's not something I aggressively went after. It really just unfolded that way. I've really loved it. I feel very lucky. The nature of our Teen Wolf fans is so unbelievably supportive and loyal. It's like nothing I've ever seen. I'm very grateful for that.
Teen Wolf airs Mondays at 10 PM ET/PT on MTV.

Funny convo with my theist cousin
Funny convo with my theist cousin
Here's one message. You can not only have sex slaves, but sell your daughter into sex slavery! Cool!
When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)
Hmmm this says something ocmpletly different
" 7 "If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do.8 If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself,[a] he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her. 9 If he selects her for his son, he must grant her the rights of a daughter. 10 If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights. 11 If he does not provide her with these three things, she is to go free, without any payment of money. "
Here's how to rape a woman biblically-
"If there is a young woman, a virgin already engaged to be married, and a man meets her in the town and lies with her, you shall...stone them to death, the young woman because she did not cry for help...and the man because he violated his neighbor's wife." [If the woman is not engaged] "the man who lay with her shall give 50 shekels of silver to the young woman's father, and she shall become his wife." Ephesians 5:22-23
Again, it says : 22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
Any other ignorant, twists you want to put on the bible?
I'm done but I encourage everyone to open the Bible and see what it actually says. If more Christians did, there would be a lot less Christians.
Wives submit to your husband's lol. That's a good thing? What if they dont? Hint: has something to do with stones!
Interesting how what you said actually had nothing to do with Christiananity, and how you completly twisted every word of each verse. Typical Athiests, hate themselves so much, because they believe they have no purpose, that to have something Like GOD in your life, they have to attack to fill the empty void in their hearts..
Absolutly! Wives need to submit to their husbands.
... or be stoned to death!
BTW the above post is why I continue to comment on your posts. Of course you have to attack the person pointing out this bullshit instead of defending it on its own merits. That is the only recourse you have since it can not be defended on its own merits.
Here's another hint. You have no clue how I or other atheists or Hindus, or anyone else feels about their lives. Since you don't you are obviously just making shit up. Kinda like every story in the Bible!
Actually you are wrong, if you paid any attention, you would see that everything you said was in fact bullshit, just like you said.. for you said nothing accurate, and twisted the words to fit your needs of attack christians.. because again, you are empty inside.... And knowing your LIFE, I know why you are empty and why you are this way now.
So you think the Bible is inaccurate? What I posted was passages straight from the Bible itself.
And BTW you don't know jack shit about my life, or how fulfilling it is or isn't. Or how empty it is or isn't. You should really stop projecting your own insecurities onto me. But since you're projecting this kind of BS onto me let me take a stab.
The reason you are attacking me instead of defending the bible is because deep down you know it's bullshit, but for emotional reasons, especially fear, you can't admit this to yourself.
See, you still ignore everything, because I took the quotes straight from the bible, and defended it because you twisted it, you didnt take it straight form the bible, you twisted it to fit your needs.
And I'm not attackin you.. In fact you are attacking me, so taking what you said, the reason you are attacking me is because deep down you know it's bullshit, but for emotional reasons, especially fear, you can't admit this to yourself. ....
I hope you find that one thing to make you not feel so empty inside, so empty you make it your mission to try to hurt people, and use god to twist everything to fit your hurt... Love you Josh... You will get through this I know it.
Mark I don't feel empty inside at all. The stuff you posted is merely a different translation of what I already posted and says almost exactly the same thing. The message is the same. Why would I comment on that? Drive the point further that not only do you not read the bible but when you do you fail to understand it? A man can pay for a woman slave according to the bible. Please point out where it doesn't say that. You are being disengenuous, and deceitful. I'm not trying to hurt anyone. Your post says open the Bible so I put some passages that don't get talked about much for good reason. It makes Yahweh look like the monstrous mythological war god that he actually is.
Twisting the word of the bible doesnt make you right
1. I didn't twist the word of the bible. I posted passages directly from the bible.
2. The first passage you posted was a direct translation of the one I posted.
3. The second passage you posted had NOTHING to do with the second passage I posted. It's from a different book.., which you failed to document. Furthermore the passage only furthers my point about the bibles misogynistic view of women
4. Anyone can look up the passages I posted and see for themselves whether I was twisting the bible passages or not and prove to themselves that I did not.
5. You were the one that started making assumptions about my life that you know absolutely nothing about.
6. The god Einstein believed in, if in fact he believed in god at all, is not even remotely related to the blood - thirsty, insecure war lord depicted in the Bible.
Here lets sum this convo up with this pic. Because even tho I posted the accurate passages you said yours came from, and how it said something completly different then what you twisted it to say, you still are flaaping your wings around like you're victorious.
What translation of the bible did you post your passages from Mark. What makes you think that your translation is accurate, while the one I used isnt? Furthermore how is the meaning of your translation any different? Do not both passages posted start with selling your daughter as a slave / servant? The rest also being very similar? I hope you are just being disengenuous, because I would hate to think that you are actually this stupid.
Lol. It's always like this with him too. Just no face palm big enough!

I've tried pointing out how the Bible was misogynistic to a Jehovah's Witness. Showed her where it says husbands are the Masters to their wives. She said that's not sexist, just means they serve their husbands. I couldn't get her to see how sexist that is.

RE: Funny convo with my theist cousin
Do a google search on Dark Bible. It has a sample of some of many ridiculous passages that are found in the King James version of the Bible, sometimes along with some context that many of them also crave for.
Anyone who can think for themselves with a straight mind would never try to justify any of the atrocities in the Bible all in the name of an imaginary creature.

Been in that situation many times. I have resorted to demmanding they open the bible to the passage and read it out loud for themselves. My sister-in-law has stopped mid sentence and closed the book just so she did not have to repeat something violent or uncomfortable from her precious holy book. It is a mental condition that can only be cured by being honest with yourself about what truth really means.
"Truth does not demand belief. Scientists do not join hands every Sunday, singing, yes, gravity is real! I will have faith! I will be strong! I believe in my heart that what goes up, up, up, must come down, down, down. Amen! If they did, we would think they were pretty insecure about it."

I see that behavior as looney. Mental illness.
I don't have time to entertain the Loonies in life. I have known too many of them in a variety of crazy "flavors".
Once I figure out who the crazy ones are, I don't associate with them, I avoid them at all costs. I don't friend them on facebook, I don't answer their calls, when they want to meet up I am ALWAYS busy, I don't ask them for favors, I never have what they need to borrow or information they might be seeking.
Life is short, I seek out people who I can relate to.

A less combative approach might be productive. The objective in persuasive communication is not really to get your points across directly, so much as it is to have your audience ask themselves the right questions. In the exchanges above to my eyes you come across as combative, and your cousin comes across as defensive. A person in a defensive posture is rarely going to accept any new information. Rather, they'll rationalise and excuse what they find. I would suggest asking more questions and sticking to a single point rather than dancing around. For example, rather than

Moving on to a new subject allows your cousin to think they won the previous point while you also think you won it. All you both end up remembering is that that other guy was a fool. Try to pin your opponent down to the point where they concede or agree to disagree, rather than moving on.
Give me your argument in the form of a published paper, and then we can start to talk.

The value of a preschool lesson plan is connected to the expected outcomes for the students involved. Understanding the literacy knowledge of the class is key in determining the best way to move forward. Teachers feel more prepared and ready to tackle the learning process when a lesson contains appropriate content and active methods. It is critical to keep the lesson basic and enjoyable when working with preschool children.
Encourage Discovery
Preschool children are quick to absorb what is around them. When you are developing your literacy plan, think about how you can infuse literacy in everything you do. Take the time to talk to your students individually and use challenging vocabulary that causes them to ask questions. Hold topic conversations in small groups. Your language will set the tone for their learning. Ask your students to create lesson topics. For example, ask each student to select a topic and use those topics as a weekly content focus.
Read! Read! Read!
It goes without saying that reading encourages literacy. Children love to hear stories read by their teacher. Pick fun stories and read them more than once. Use your finger to follow the words as you read them. You will be surprised at how quickly your students will begin to recognize the words. Finally, create an activity that brings the story to life. For example, if you read a book about bears, have your students color a picture of a bear. They can even introduce their bear to their classmates.
Focus on the ABCs
When creating your lesson plan, always incorporate the alphabet. It is critical for preschool children to recognize letters and make connections with corresponding sounds. Start by labeling everything. For example, Susie should see her name on her cubby, her table spot and her take-home folder. Next, engage your class with activities that emphasize letter sounds. Teach the class a nursery rhyme, story or song that emphasizes a letter. Ask them to emphasize the letter when they say it aloud. Do this everyday for a week until they connect the letter with the sound.
Develop Young Authors
Writing is an important part of encouraging literacy. Planning lessons that empower children to share their voice in written form helps to make connections between letter sounds and word identification. Provide a lesson that asks students to write down words without emphasis on correct spelling. For example, show your students three pieces of fruit and ask them to write down the words that best describe them. Let them know that they should write the words as they imagine them. If they are unsure, write the words for them as they describe them to you. Afterward, let everyone eat some fruit as a reward.

In the mood for a good movie? Some toe-tapping music? A thrilling book? ON THIS DAY will lead you to new possibilities every day, tied to interesting moments from history and popular culture. Whether it's streamable and downloadable music and film, e-books and e-audio, or physical books and DVDs, we hope you'll find something to enjoy as you pick up a few bits of history each day.
|On this day in 1901, Vittorio De Sica was born. De Sica was an actor and director, an important figure in the Italian neorealist cinema of the 1940s. Two of his films -- Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow and The Garden of the Finzi-Continis -- won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar; in the years before that category was created, two other De Sica movies -- Shoeshine and Bicycle Thieves -- won honorary Oscars. De Sica directed more than 30 films, and appeared as an actor in about 150 more. In Bicycle Thieves, a father and his son scour Rome in search of the father's stolen bicycle, without which he will lose his job; the movie is available for streaming at Kanopy, or on DVD.
|On this day in 1931, David Eddings was born. With his wife, Leigh, Eddings wrote several popular series of epic fantasy novels. Leigh Eddings was not credited as co-author until about a decade into Eddings' success; their editor believed that co-authored books sold less well, and encouraged the authors to use a solo by-line. The "Belgariad" series, published with only David Eddings' name, is the story of a young man's quest to find a sacred stone in order to slay an evil god; the series begins with Pawn of Prophecy, which is available as an e-audio at OverDrive.
|And on this day in 1958, Michala Petri was born. Petri is a recorder virtuoso whose repertoire ranges from the Baroque, the period when the instrument was the most popular, to contemporary works written specifically for her. Petri has recorded more than 30 albums, including Scandinavian Moods, a collection of short pieces by Grieg, Nielsen, and other Scandinavian composers; it's available for streaming or download at Freegal.

The majority of us spend approximately 1/3 of our lives resting and also gối chữ u are an essential part of to getting a valid evenings rest. Just how do you deal with finding the gối chữ u that is right for you and/or your household?
Allow's begin with exactly what kind of sleeper you are. gối chữ u are a personal selection. No two individuals are alike. As well as undeniably no two people in a relationship are alike when it comes to resting style. Take a look at exactly how you and/or your partner or member of the family sleep? Are you or them a side sleeper, back sleeper, belly sleeper, or pillow hugger? This will determine what sort of support you have to get that excellent evening of sleep.
Back sleepers need a medium support cushion that will assist the organic curvature of the upper spine, providing support under the head, neck and also shoulders. A lot of pillows in the marketplace, Natural or Synthetic, will work, with the exception of a really soft (head attacks bed mattress when you set on cushion), which will not give the proper assistance you should sleep easily. Contour pillows function well for these type of sleepers.
Side sleepers require something that contours as well as cradles the neck, giving an also sleeping surface. Commonly recognized by a seam. The side sleeper pillow aids keep the physical body in a straight line. Again, most pillows in the marketplace, Natural or Synthetic, will certainly provide you the proper support you have to sleep easily, with the exemption of extremely soft (see description over), unless you are a Pillow Hugger (see below). Shape cushions can also help these type of sleepers as well.
Cushion Huggers are generally a Side Sleeper, but require a quite soft cushion (see explanation above) to make sure that they could squeeze (kind) the cushion as they sleep. Also stiff of a cushion will certainly wake the sleeper during the evening to adjust just before returning to rest. Down and Synthetic Down, would certainly function well for these sleepers as they are the softest.
Tummy sleepers require a soft cushion to make sure that the head and neck aren't transformed to either side. These are the people which will certainly succeed with a quite soft cushion (see description above), as these will offer them simply sufficient support without lifting their head and neck area excessive, plus these will not poof up on the sides to interfere with breathing, as this could cause sleep disruption throughout the evening. For that reason try to find Down as well as Synthetic Down, as these will be the softest.

Intelligent Environments (IEs) are physical spaces in which IT and other pervasive computing technology are woven and used to achieve specific goals for the user, the environment or both. IEs have the ultimate objective of enriching user experience, better manage, and increase user awareness of that environment. The 14th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE'18) will be held in Rome, Italy. The beginning of the conference will be preceded by a series of workshops and tutorials on topics related to the main conference. The tutorials program will be co-located, and run in parallel, with the workshops programme.
As a part of the latest in the highly successful series of International Conferences on Intelligent Environments, we plan to host a number of tutorials on important topics relating to Intelligent Environments, to be given by well-known experts in the field, at the 2018 conference in Rome, Italy. The aims of these tutorials are to introduce these topics of interest to PhD students and other "early career researchers", plus other people who are beginning to develop interests in those areas. These tutorial sessions should also provide people with similar interests an opportunity to learn and discuss their interests, experiences and views with like-minded researchers in an informal setting, to make valuable connections and enjoy the event!
We are currently inviting proposals for tutorial topics, speakers and volunteers. If you have any suggestions as to what you would like included, who would make good speakers, or you would like to volunteer to organise a tutorial yourself, or have any questions about the planned tutorials, then please email the tutorials colloquium chair (contact details below).
All tutorials should be on topics appropriate to the general theme of Intelligent Environments (for further details on the range of appropriate, see http://intenv.org/ ) and should be accessible to people with a good general scientific and technical background, but not necessarily having any previous specialist knowledge of that topic.
The main presenter for all such tutorials MUSTbe an expert in the field, and should either hold an appropriate doctorate or be of comparable standing (e.g., having been a leader of some relevant industrial projects in the field).
The decision on which proposed tutorials get accepted will be carried-out through a two-stage process. Initially, some of the tutorials proposed will be short-listed based on the quality of the proposal and relevance of the topics covered. These short-listed tutorials will later be confirmed at the Final Selection Stage (see "Important Dates") if they have successfully attracted a sufficient number of submissions and registrations. The tutorials can last for 1.5 hours or (in exceptional cases) more.
Some degree of financial support will be given to the tutorial organizers. That will be related to the success of the tutorial.
Summary notes and other materials submitted by the Tutorial presenters by the deadline below will be included in the Workshops and Tutorials Proceedings, which will be published as a volume of the Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments Series by IOS Press, and made electronically available through ACM Digital Library (to be confirmed).
Please address queries and requests for further information about the IE'18 Tutorials Colloquium to its chairs:

How Florida Space Coast Manages User-Generated Content
Travel photos, and especially beach photos, are among the most prevalent snapshots being shared across social media. Brands do not need to spend valuable marketing dollars and time staging happy families enjoying sun and sand. Actual vacationers supply perfect images and are usually happy to allow brands to repurpose that content. After discerning this, the Florida's Space Coast joined forces with Chute to employ user generated content (UGC) that both promotes the Space Coast and also provides inspiration (and sometimes evidence) for visitors.
"People love to see the real, authentic experiences travelers are having," says Jeanna Wood, Content Manager at Florida Space Coast. "As an office, we decided to use user generated photos as a form of marketing because of the authenticity. We can go out and have a photo shoot and provide these beautiful shots but at the end of the day, those actually don't perform that well compared to user generated photos."
In addition to Chute's platform enabling her team to find and manage engaging content, that stream of authentic photos helped Florida's Space Coast disprove inaccurate stories about the area.
"Three or four counties down from us, they experienced an algae bloom," says Wood. "People mistakenly thought it was happening here on the Space Coast. We had crazy, negative media and we were able to dispel all of it by just going through the Chute feed, selecting recent images and saying, 'hey, the water is clean and beautiful! People are out swimming!'"
Florida's Space Coast partners with Chute to showcase UGC on its website and social media. Users are much more likely to engage with these photos than professional photography. Along the bottom of their websites, visitors can view images taken from fellow travelers' real experiences on Florida's Space Coast.
Wood also tucks away relative images for future use. "I love it when I see a cup of coffee photo come up and I know National Coffee Day is approaching so I store that photo away and come back to it. Now I'm able to use a UGC photo, not something we crafted." This simple practice saves staff time creating original content.
Chute makes it easy for brands to find and use UGC, taking time consuming manual searches out of the equation.
"The platform is phenomenal," says Wood. "Coming in after a weekend off, it is awesome to see thousands of photos taken right here on the Space Coast. People really love using those social platforms and we love seeing those photos and sharing them with our other fans."
Wood also appreciates the availability and flexibility of the Chute team.
"We love that in a moment's notice we can contact the Chute team with any questions or concerns or if we have ideas, they are always open to hear what we have to suggest."
The company also uses Chute Rights to insure proper UGC usage and respect. If Florida's Space Coast wants to use a photograph whether on social media or in print, a considerate request is made directly with the person who published the photo. Florida's Space Coast is easily able to honor the rights of their travelers while also acquiring fantastic content for both digital and print using Chute Rights.
"We've actually taken it a step further by requesting that the user send us high resolution images," says Wood. "Then we can print them in publications including our annual vacation planner. Instead of filling it with a bunch of stock or produced photos, we use user generated photos."
Florida's Space Coast has discovered the usability and practicality of Chute's platform. By utilizing UGC, the destination engages on a larger scale with users and saves both time and money.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings is to search out a thing. -Proverbs 25:2 AMP
Have you noticed that God will place things on your heart that are bigger than you? You feel overwhelmed because you're not sure how to accomplish the task. The tendency is to procrastinate because doing something new is scary. –But, if you never step forward in it, you'll never realize how strong you really are. If you run in the opposite direction, you will truly fail to discover the treasure of possibilities that were destined for your life.
You see, you were designed to overcome obstacles, not play in the safe zone forever. "Safe zone thinking" leaves us with a boring, unfulfilled life that subsequently causes limited growth. Safe zone thinking prevents us from discovering and developing new areas of strength. When we can make steps towards doing the "hard" task, we will make way to grow in a whole new area, creating fresh confidence and bolstering our capacity.
One of my biggest fears was having to speak in front of people. I was the person that kept to myself. I was fine in one-on-one settings and even small groups, but speaking in front of a crowd was like climbing Mount Everest. Too hard… Frightening… Scary… I didn't want the extra attention or spotlight. How did I overcome my fear? Bottom line was I had to "just do it". But also, I had to assess a few thoughts.
Why does this make me afraid?
What will happen if I confront my fear?
Will this be the end of me or is this an opportunity to be stretched?
Am I willing to let go of my fear?
Since it wasn't going to kill me, I made steps towards preparation. I made sure I had my notes in front of me and just went for it. I also took a public speaking class. What is it that you can do to help you reach your objective?
It was vital that I overcome my fear and by the grace of God, I did just that. The more I stood to speak the better I got. The more I did what I feared, the more confidence was built within me. It provided new building blocks by which I could grow. That's really how we can make steps towards conquering our fears… Face them and don't allow excuses to hold us back.
Embrace opportunities for growth. It's a part of our experiencing life. After all, you are powerful! You were made for this! You have skills and giftings that are meant to be shared and expressed. You have dreams that were deposited in you because you have the potential to accomplish it.
Though it would be great if everything could be laid out for us, usually that's not how it works. A good portion of our growth and development is searching it out. –Just doing it!!! It gives you the opportunity to learn and investigate as you're sorting through it. You don't have to let fear petrify you any longer. Make the effort to do what God is telling you and know that He's right there with you. He will highlight the details for you and send the connections, but you have to be willing to step forward to take the brave steps He shows you.

Darrell Issa's Fight Against The Post Office- Could It Have Anything To Do With Contributions He Has Received From UPS?
Darrell Issa Has Some Explaining To Do!
Darrell Issa, the GOP ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is leading the charge that may very well close the United States Post Office. The fight may initially cost 120,000 postal service workers their jobs and eventually cost all of the other postal workers their jobs as well. The goal of the GOP and Issa, according to most involved in the fight, is to put the US Post Office out of business and allow private companies to take over all mail operations in this country. The reason: the GOP currently believes that private corporations are more efficient in every field. But according to the Center for Responsive Politics, Issa has received thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from the PAC representing UPS. To be fair, prior to Issa turning against the US Post Office, he did accept contributions from the US Post Office. Their representatives now say that Issa will never receive another dime. Does it sound a little fishy that Issa would accept money from both sides in the fight? Everything Issa does sounds fishy, because everything Issa does rarely passes the smell test.
Issa is one of the wealthiest men in Congress. He has a more than shady past, dotted with arrests for auto theft, allegations of arson and insurance fraud, as well as a conviction on weapons charges. Trust him because he has proven to be trustworthy? Not likely, if you consider his past. Even Issa's recent past while a member of Congress is shrouded in questionable actions. Congressman Issa purchased land and then asked for and received pork barrel government funds for improvements that increased the value of his investment. He has purchased another land parcel at a price $3 million dollars less than another offer on the table, thus suggesting to some that he has received millions of dollars in land discounts in a pay for play scheme.
Issa has a Goldman-Sachs connection, too. While using his Congressional power to block an investigation into the activities of Goldman-Sachs, it was revealed that Issa was investing millions with the company.
Does Issa Own Stock In UPS or FedEx?
Darrell Issa owns, according to his financial disclosure forms, interests in many financial funds that feature varied investments in many private corporations. The breakdowns of the funds' investment portfolios are not readily apparent. In light of issa's past patterns, it would be prudent to determine just how much, if any, money Issa has invested in either UPS, FedEx or any other private firms that would seek to pick up the slack if the Post Office were to close. Congress, or at least the Postal Service should pose the question to Issa. It is the only way to determine if Issa has a personal interest in pushing for the closure of the US Post Office. The hundreds of thousands of workers that would lose their jobs deserve answers.
Why The Post Office Operates At A Loss
The US Post Office costs American taxpayers nothing. All operating costs are funded by the sales of stamps and postage. Granted, they are currently operating in the red, but that is because of onerous requirements placed upon them in the recent past. Unlike any public or private corporation in this country, Congress has mandated that the post office fully fund all of their foreseeable pension and health benefit costs for the next 75 years. Congress also decided, in their infinite wisdom, to allow only 10 years for the Post Office to accomplish this feat. Sounds impossible? It may prove to be. But Congress could remove the requirement, or at least amend it, so that the Post Office could survive.
In this economic climate of job losses and financial insecurity, why would the Republican members of Congress desire to add to the economic misery being suffered by millions of Americans? Why would they chance increasing the numbers of unemployed?
Maybe those making these decisions have personal financial gains to consider. The American people need to question the motives behind this all out assault on the U.S Post Office and its employees.
Leave it to Darrell Issa? No way! Not in light of his past transgressions and questionable sense of ethics. Issa, who owned the security company that manufactured the Viper car alarm even supplied his voice to the alarm itself. What is the old saying? If it sounds like a viper...
Issa's Colorful Past!
HR2309 proposed by Representative Darrell Issa is being pushed as a remedy to the problem Congress created with passage of HR6407
Issa claims he is striving to save the USPS yet he is ignoring expenses that can be deleted without disrupting the service.
#1. The Postal Accountable and Enhancement Act,HR6407 needs to be rescinded. In 2006 the PAEA signed by Bush, mandated that the USPS fund 75 years of retiree health benefits in 10 at 5.5 Billion a year which has been mistakenly referred to as a loss which could lead to the conclusion by hasty readers that the Post Office's expense for labor is the cause of the loss, not the demand for 75 years of retiree health benefits paid to the treasury in 10.
#2. Overpayments of 50 to 75 Billion the USPS made to the Civil Service Retirement Service should be returned.
#3. Overpayments the USPS made to FERS need to be retrieved.
#4.The USPS needs to charge more for delivering UPS parcels to places UPS don't.
#5. Adjust the ratio of managers to workers.
#6 Quit giving deep discounts to large businesses.
Issa's solution is to cut the workforce by at least 100,000, and make Postal Workers' wages and benefits depend on a separate board when a contract isn't agreed upon. This is a case where Issa's cure would cause the death of the USPS as a public service and have it revived as a business with lower paid workers, higher rates , less service and higher pay and bonuses for those at the top levels of management.
S1789, sponsored by Lieberman, passed in the Senate in April but not in the House,would cut 100,000 jobs with the USPS when we don't need to have more unemployed workers. S1789 would decrease compensation for injured workers and end it for those over 65, when we don't need to take away compensation or lower compensation for injured workers. It would weaken the unions which promote a "living wage" at a time when we don't need to add more people to the "working poor", S1789 would close smaller post offices (some have already closed), and slow mail delivery by closing 200+ distribution centers.
In 2006 Congress voted to have the USPS fund 75 years of retiree health benefits in 10 amounting to 5.5 Billion a year.
Saddled with funding 5.5 Billion a year that had nothing to do with mail delivery, the USPS could no longer have it's revenue =costs as it had done until 2006.
If this bill is passed or HR2309 the USPS will end up virtually privatized with lower wages and benefits for its 'workers, a scaled down and overworked workforce, more mail services contracted out, less services for the public including curbside service in place of home delivery.
This is how the Post Office could end up privatized if HR2309 were passed.
Management is replaced if they cannot successfully restructure Postal Service finances when the Postal Service fails to pay its bills for more than 30 days, a receivership-style authority takes over for USPS management with an explicit mandate to cut costs while maintaining universal service.
Jillian, NO YOU are not getting the point! Every independent business has to have a plan for funding promised retirement! It must be that the post office has never made that plan! Someone has figured out they are in trouble if they don't! You can bet money WE the taxpayer will be paying this if it doesn't get fixed! Don't think for a moment it wont happen!.............cause it always does!........How many times have we heard ......but their too big to fail blah blah blah
American Romance I don't understand your statement. Unionized pensions are mounting?? Here are the facts: the pension funds for the USPS have been OVERFUNDED, and the unions are fighting to get Congress to refund these overpayments to the USPS so that they can use this money to get out of the financial hole Congress created back in 2006 when it passed the law requiring the USPS to prefund future retirees health benefits. There is no call from the unions for a bailout of any kind, nor is there any problem with any of the USPS pensions. Without the prefunding requirement alone, the USPS would be in the black. If Congress amends or eliminates this requirement, and refunds the pension overpayments, the USPS would be profitable, WITHOUT a bailout, WITHOUT reductions in service, WITHOUT closures of over 50% of all processing centers, WITHOUT major reductions in workforce, and (STILL) WITHOUT taxpayer money.
I know nothing of Issa, but I do know that unionized pensions are mounting at the post office and cannot be sustained!........I also know FedEX and UPS don't have these problems! The only real way to save these unionized pensions is for the American taxpayer to once again bail them out! I for one am sick and tired of bailing everyone out! Who is going to give me a pension when I'm working till I"m 70 so someone else can have one and be able to retire at 55?? .........something wrong with this pic!
Ups mkes so many more mistakes then the USPS/ million sent that it is not funny. If we let the GOP sell off this service it will be our falt not the GOP. By the way if the DEMS thought they could get away with it they would being doing the same. Both parties are for the rich parties. There is only one party that is for the people of this nation, The Green Party. If you want good government register and vote Green.
Actually, I have heard of this. Think there's a bill out there trying to stop it but then what are the chances of that passing?! Go for it - looks like you really do your research and it will be a good hub! And you'll either feel better or be mad as hell after writing it - or both :)
And these are the same people screaming about Obama stopping the 'job creating' Keystone XL (which will only create about 20,000 jobs - maybe) . . . the hypocrisy never ends. Good hub!
One has to wonder if anyone on the right has any morals or ethics. All of their issues seem to revolve around greed. Greed for money and greed for power.
Perhaps OWS offers a little ray of hope
Voted up as usual
As always, Jillian, these guys are always cut from the same cloth. We are going to have to continue to call them out on their lies and spread of misinformation. Thanks Cred2
Great Hub Jillian. issa has no scruples yet investigates everyone. Has he ever investigated himself? I doubt it. How does he get re-elected?
Way to 'Follow the money'!
That's a familiar story Jillian. The post office workers in this country (UK) are on the hit list. There are some people in this World who'd sell their grannies for profit.
Hi Jillian,
I posted a comment about an hour ago and it never showed up. HP don't like me anymore since Adsense dropped me. good one, put this guy in the slammer.
Here is a prime example of your tax dollars at work, but not working for you but for Mr. Issa, the guy who is supposed to be working for you. There is no law that stops the people who make the laws from getting rich on those laws they pass. There aughta be a law! Today a Wall Street thief got convicted of insider trading and got the highest penalty ever given, 7 years, for stealing billions. This same thing needs to be applied to the thieves in Congress, they need to atart going to prison not getting a slap on the wrist and taken off a committee. Thanks for a really good article Jillian, good to see you, your friend,

How Good Food and Strong Social Ties Will Save Society• http://www.thedailybell.com
Good food plus interesting people is a recipe for happiness.
As humans evolved, we lived in tight knit self-sufficient communities. Nomadic hunter gatherers spent their time foraging, hunting, eating, and playing together.
It's tempting to romanticize those days, but they came with some pretty harsh realities. As stressful and lonely as the modern world can be, countless technological benefits have made our lives longer and healthier.
Yet automation and technology have become an end in themselves, rather than a means to live a better life. It is at this juncture that society would do well to examine where we came from, and where we are.
There is no reason we can't meld the philosophies of our ancestors and our modern world. We can keep the prosperity and reconnect with our roots.
Bad food and social isolation are actually quite related to the industrial age. One of the saddest images I can conjure is someone eating a microwave dinner in front of the tv alone.
Humans evolved mostly foraging and hunting as groups. Strong social ties were inextricable from reaping the most necessary resources.
Forager's Diet
We don't need to go back to loin cloths and straw huts to enjoy what our ancestors enjoyed.
But we could take a few pages out of their book.

Recruitment is one of the most important aspects of a fraternity. The very nature of our organization dictates that members are men who uphold the principles and ideals of our brotherhood. The Theta Tau chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha is no different from other campus fraternities in this respect. However, we do differ in the form that our bond of brotherhood takes. The members of our chapter enjoy a bond that transcends what you may find in most other clubs and organizations. Because we don't want to see that bond weakened, we must be selective in our recruitment. We are looking to attract the highest-caliber men that Wake Forest University has to offer.

Why was Lambda Chi important to me in 1965 and even today in my retirement years? I list the following reasons to answer the question:
First, active brothers continue to emphasize the motto: NAUGHT WITHOUT LABOR. Such a practice will assure a brother's success at Wake and in life.
Second, in 1965, there was an emphasis on good grades. This emphasis continues today. In fact, Theta Tau continues to lead all the on-campus Greeks in grade point average. These high grades spell future job search success for brothers. Also, who can ever forget how fellow brothers are always there to help a brother with a tough subject?
Third, Lambda Chi creates instant friendships that will become life-long brothers and usually future contacts for the job market.
Fourth, the fraternity provides great social opportunities. Brothers develop close personal friendships through the fraternity projects on and off campus. These projects, as well as tailgate parties, create a strong sense of camaraderie.
Fifth, Lambda Chi emphasizes the development of leadership skills. During my time at Wake, my brothers occupied key campus positions of leadership in campus organizations. Today the present brothers continue to hold down significant campus leadership in some of those same organizations.
Fellow brothers, what are some of your more memorable days as a Lambda Chi? Consider writing some of them down and sending them to Theta Tau Alumni Association for future Taukers.John Y. Dockery, '65T.T.A.A. Secretary
The Theta Tau chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, takes its responsibilities as a campus organization seriously. That is why we comply with Wake Forest University policies and state and local laws.
We make every effort to use alcohol responsibly and according to University policies and state laws. All of our formal recruitment events are dry.
Horror stories abound about what some college men are forced to do while pledging for fraternity membership. Although hazing is portrayed in a funny light in movies such as Animal House, the truth is that hazing is illegal and hazardous, not to mention extremely detrimental to fraternity membership. As such, Lambda Chi Alpha does not haze.
How is "hazing" defined? Our definition is by far the broadest — hazing is "any action taken or situation created intentionally to produce physical discomfort or mental discomfort by embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule." The associate members of our brotherhood are treated with the same dignity and respect that each brother shows to one another.

Wonderland, a public, collaborative project by Lance Fung is set to open in October 2009 in the Tenderloin of San Francisco and includes an impressive number of artists whose projects will respond, in some way, to the neighborhood. This article expresses my concern about this project and is best summarized through the following question borrowed from Izida Zorde: what responsibilities do artists working in relation to communities have to engage not just with their surface but also with their underlying politics and realities? "Wonderland: A world turned upside down" asks that we consider the broader impacts of our artistic practices in geographical locations we have little connection to and questions the curator's intention of reconceiving the Tenderloin, the poorest neighborhood in San Francisco, as a tourist destination. Full article published on Open Space.
