Known to many as "America's Educator," Ron Clark is the 2000 Disney American Teacher of the Year, a two-time New York Times Bestselling author, the subject of a television movie and the founder of The Ron Clark Academy. Ron is regularly featured on network and cable television (The Today Show, CNN and Oprah,) and was dubbed by Ms. Winfrey as her first "Phenomenal Man."
Ron Clark brings charisma, energy and devotion to the education profession. Ron pioneered innovative projects in rural North Carolina working with minority students in a low wealth area. His highly effective programs garnered national attention and led to a White House invitation to be honored by the President of the United States.
Ron Clark's personality is marked by a sense of challenge and adventure. Upon watching a television piece chronicling low test scores and the lack of teachers in inner-city New York, Ron packed his car and moved to Harlem. After being warned by the principal that his class was the least disciplined group she had seen in years, Ron prepared himself by visiting the home of each student before the first day of school. Ron Clark involved his students in projects in the city and state, and his "low achievers" soon began to excel; and by the end of the year, their scores were higher than the "gifted" classes in his district.
In 2003, Ron Clark released the New York Times Bestselling book "The Essential 55" which includes his 55 expectations of students - as well as all individuals - young and old. Ron's second book, "The Excellent 11," was released in August 2004 and further captured the attention of parents, educators and students alike.
Obviously Ron Clark did not stop there. In 2006, Ron Clark founded The Ron Clark Academy, an inner-city school serving students from across metro Atlanta. The privately-funded institution is unique for its innovative teaching methods and curriculum based on worldwide travel. Each year the students, grades 5 through 8, apply their in-class lessons to international adventures. And, by the time of graduation, each child will have visited six of the seven continents. Teachers from around the world visit the Academy to observe the innovative and "out-of-the-box" methods for achieving student success.
Ron's most anticipated book came in 2011, "The End of Molasses Classes: Getting Our Kids Unstuck--101 Extraordinary Solutions for Parents and Teachers." This New York Times Best Seller brought to light 101 innovative and classroom-tested ways for improving America's schools and leading our children to greatness. A must read for every teacher and parent.
In addition to his many duties as an educator, Ron Clark is a much sought after keynote speaker. He shares the uncanny adventures he has had in the classroom and speaks of his experiences teaching in Harlem. Within his humorous and heartwarming stories, he delivers a message relevant to each of us. It is a message of hope, dedication and the never-say-never attitude required to achieve goals and dreams.

Ron Clark will share his journey from teaching in a low-wealth rural area in North Carolina to the inner-city streets of Harlem in New York City. Along the way, Mr. Clark will share inspirational stories of how his students made outstanding growth in test scores, conducted projects that garnered worldwide attention, and were invited to the White House three separate years to be honoured by the President. Mr. Clark was the 2000 Disney American Teacher of the Year, and he has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show where Oprah dubbed him her first "Phenomenal Man."
In 2006, Mr. Clark was the subject of a television movie "The Ron Clark Story" featuring actor Matthew Perry (as Mr. Clark), who was Nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for his Outstanding Lead Actor role. This movie is regularly featured on the TNT Network.
From the success of his first book and the movie, Mr. Clark invested royalties and earnings to purchase, renovate, and open a one of a kind school. The Ron Clark Academy (RCA) was created to be model school where the goal was to extend RCA reach beyond our student body by having an impact upon students everywhere. Each year, thousands of educators-- teachers, administrators, and superintendents (42,000+ total to date) participate in educator training programs to learn how to replicate RCA's style, philosophy and success in their own schools. Those educators return to their classrooms, impacting the lives of 10 million students around the world.
Mr. Clark has written four books about his teaching practices, "The 55 Essentials - Life Lessons for Teachers, Parents, Students and the Rest of Us", "The Excellent Eleven" which outlines qualities and characteristics parents and teachers should have to instill success in their children and students, and "The End of Molasses Classes: Getting Kids Unstuck, 101 Extraordinary Solutions for Parents and Teachers." This book offers the Ron Clark Academy's 101 Innovative and Classroom-Tested Ways for Improving America's Schools and Leading our Children to Greatness.
Everything can be taught in more than one way – and everyone has multiple ways of thinking and learning. This theory of multiple intelligences, which Howard Gardner first introduced more than 30 years ago, has revolutionized the fields of education and psychology.
The John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Gardner is a world-renowned psychologist. His 1983 book, "Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences," detailed a new model of human intelligence that went beyond the traditional view that there was a single kind that could be measured by standardized tests.
He continues to build on his studies of intelligence, and has since authored several hundred articles and nearly 30 books, including "Leading Minds" (Basic Books, 2011), "Five Minds for the Future" (Harvard Business Review Press, 2009), "Changing Minds" (Harvard Business Review Press, 2006), "The Disciplined Mind" (Penguin, 2000), and his most recent, "The App Generation: How Today's Youth Navigate Identity, Intimacy, and Imagination in a Digital World" (Yale University Press, 2013).
Repeatedly recognized as one of 100 most influential public intellectuals in the world by Foreign Policy and Prospect magazines, Professor Gardner has earned numerous honors, including a MacArthur Prize Fellowship and John S. Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, the Prince of Asturias Award for Social Sciences, and he was the first American to receive the University of Louisville's Grawemeyer Award in Education. Most recently, Professor Gardner was named to the American Management Association's Top 30 Leaders in Business of 2014 list. He has received honorary degrees from 29 colleges and universities, including institutions in Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, South Korea, and Spain. Professor Gardner has also been elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, American Philosophical Society, National Academy of Education, and the London-based Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce. He serves on a number of boards, including New York's Museum of Modern Art.
For more than two decades, Professor Gardner has collaborated to direct the GoodWork Project, now a component of the larger Good Project, a large-scale, non-profit effort to identify and study individuals and institutions that exemplify good work – work that is excellent in quality, socially and ethically. More recently, he has conducted reflection sessions designed to enhance the understanding and incidence of good work among young people, and is now also investigating ethical dimensions entailed in the use of the new digital media. Among Professor Gardner's other new research undertakings are a study of effective collaboration among non-profit institutions in education; a study of conceptions of quality nationally and internationally in the contemporary era; and a major study of liberal arts and sciences in the 21st century.

Creativity: Big C, Little C, and the Affordances of Digital Media (via video link)
In a world where almost everything that can be done by machine will be, the human capacity to think 'out of the box' and to create new products, findings, and ideas becomes crucial. Drawing on decades of research, Howard Gardner will describe the factors that lead to major "Big" creativity; modest "little C" creativity; and the potential of digital media either to create unimportant 'mini C' creativity and also to encourage "Middle C" creative collaboration in various media. The groundwork for creativity should be laid early in education, and sustained in different ways across the lifespan. Gardner's pathbreaking research – scientifically sound and imminently practical – should be of interest to principals and vice principals, district leaders, practitioners and education policy makers.

'You're Not Thinking, You're Just Being Logical'
What Have the Venezuelans Ever Done For Us?
'You're Not Thinking, You're Just Being Logical'
Sometimes, getting children to learn things means it's best if they don't think. Yet, without having thinkers leaving our schools, we risk committing the same follies that got us into this mess in the first place. In this entertaining and interactive session, Ian will take this quote from the great Danish physicist Neils Bohr as a starting point to share ideas, insights and strategies about:
• The importance of thinking for yourself
• Why learning isn't thinking
• How to get children's brains to hurt
• Thinking and doing the right thing
• The link between thinking, creativity and self-esteem
What Have the Venezuelans Ever Done For Us?
We can vastly underestimate what children are capable of by helping them succeed in a system that is by definition, limiting. But when we change the focus of what education is for, then everything changes. Drawing on his work in education around the world, Ian will challenge delegates to consider:
• What is education for?
• Who sets the limits?
• The surprising things we can learn about education when we look outside of the world of education
• The links between community, poverty, challenge and opportunity that we can all benefit from
• What happens when inclusion really does mean inclusion
Why Do I Need a Teacher When I've Got Google?
Practical Strategies for Motivation, Learning and Independent Thinking
Why Do I Need a Teacher When I've Got Google?
Drawing on over two decades working with young people, teachers and school leaders across the globe, Ian will take delegates through a challenging revaluation of what great teaching and learning is all about. Full of practical and workable strategies to take into the classroom or the staffroom, this engaging and entertaining workshop will cover areas including:
• Why the first 15 seconds will determine what happens next
• What neuroscience tells us about enabling effective learning
• Strategies to ensure they are thinking for deeply, widely, creatively and for themselves
• Employability in the 21st century vs Unemployability in the 21st Century
• The things that get in the way of their learning that are nothing to do with your teaching
• And why we desperately need great teachers in the Google age.
Practical Strategies for Motivation, Learning and Independent Thinking
An interactive and reflective day designed to get to the bottom of the perennial question - what are they learning while you're teaching them? Full of classroom-based strategies to bring the best out of children and young people of all ages and abilities, it is an opportunity for delegates to consider the fundamental differences between teaching, learning, remembering and thinking and how to ensure all four are taking place:
• The importance of 'state' and other insights from neuroscience
• The seven keys for essential motivation
• Avoiding the many ways to fail a test
• 8 Way Thinking and other question-based techniques
• The four-letter word that changes everything

A Global Revolution Goes to School: The Maker Movement
A Global Revolution Goes to School: The Maker Movement
The Maker Movement is a revolutionary global collaboration of people learning to solve problems with modern tools and technology. Adults and children are combining new technologies and timeless craft traditions to create exciting projects and control their world. The implications are profound for schools and districts concerned with engaging students, maintaining relevance, and preparing children to solve problems unanticipated by the curriculum. The technological game-changers of 3D printing, physical computing and computer science require and fuel transformations in the learning environment. Educators can adapt the powerful technology and "can do" maker ethos to revitalize learner-centered teaching and learning in all subject areas.
Agile Education - Schools of the Future Today
Invent to Learn: Making, Tinkering, and Engineering in the Classroom
Agile Education - Schools Of The Future Today
The world is changing at an astonishing pace. Today's students will have careers we can barely guess at using tools and technology that have yet to be invented. Global collaboration networks and rapid prototyping are disrupting traditional business and industry. Yet we see little of this future in schools. The maker movement, design thinking, and agile development offer a transformative vision for what school could be – rapidly evolving, radically individualized, and relevant.
This workshop will explore these new movements and how school leaders can use them to inform the design of new schools, from buildings and learning spaces to program development and curriculum.
Invent To Learn: Making, Tinkering, And Engineering In The Classroom
This workshop offers a day of hard fun and problem solving — where computing meets tinkering and design. The workshop begins with the case for project-based learning, making, tinkering, and engineering. Participants will have the opportunity to tinker with a range of exciting new low- and high-tech construction materials that can really amplify the potential of your students. Next, we will discuss strategies for effective lessons and assessment. You will view examples of children engaged in complex problem solving with new game-changing technologies and identify lessons for your own classroom practice. Powerful ideas from the Reggio Emilia Approach, breakthroughs in science education, and the global maker movement combine to create rich learning experiences.

Great to Greater: How The World's Best Schools Keep Getting Better
Great To Greater: How The World's Best Schools Keep Getting Better
Why do most schools make progress "from good to great," but then become complacent and stop improving? This interactive keynote, based on a new study of schools around the world, explores the common characteristics of schools that avoid complacency and make the journey from "Great to Greater." The presentation includes practical examples of next generation accountability systems that help so that high-performing schools can challenge themselves to improve performance by students, faculty, and leaders.
The 100-day Leader: Planning for Short-Term Wins, Long Term Success
Why Change Initiatives Fail: How Cultural Shifts Require a Revolution in Change Leadership
The 100-day Leader: Planning for Short-Term Wins, Long Term Success
Why do more than 70% of strategic plans fail? Because they depend upon the illusion that schools can engage in multi-year planning in an educational environment that changes every season. This interactive keynote provides a practical alternative to traditional planning processes. The 100 day plan provides the essential short-term wins that can then contribute to long-term success. While faculties and staff members may think that five year plans are remote from their personal reality, the 100-day plan provides immediate importance and urgency for everyone in the system.
Why Change Initiatives Fail: How Cultural Shifts Require a Revolution in Change Leadership
Change Leadership has been the subject of a great deal of speculative writing for decades. Now it is time to compare the speculation to the results. In this interactive presentation, Dr. Reeves challenges some of the prevailing mythology of change leadership and suggests new and practical alternatives to accelerate the pace of change in schools and large and complex educational systems. The new evidence on educational change suggests that the pervasive tradition of "buy-in" should be replaced with a system of rigorous hypothesis testing, followed by an assessment of claims, evidence, and results.

Education Disrupted: The New Contexts for Learning in a Globally Connected World
From Old School to Bold School: Nine New Realities for Reimagining Education
Education Disrupted: The New Contexts for Learning in a Globally Connected World
The last 15 years have seen an explosion of devices and connections that are changing the landscape of education and learning. We now carry massive storehouses of information and knowledge as well as billions of potential teachers in our pockets and backpacks. As a result, a new world of connected, networked, self-directed learning and creating is upon us, with huge implications for schools. What constitutes an education now that we can learn deeply in informal spaces outside the school walls? What are the new roles of teachers when content knowledge is ubiquitous? And how do we best prepare our students for the modern learning worlds in which they will live and work? We'll tackle these and other questions as we explore the important and complex changes and shifts that come with ubiquitous access to the Web.
From Old School To Bold School: Nine New Realities For Reimagining Education
Current systems of schooling were built for a world of scarcity, one where if we needed to learn something, we had to be in a particular place, at a particular time, with a particular group of people to study a particular curriculum, with a particular teacher. But today, the world is abundant with information, knowledge, teachers, and technologies. Learning, for all intents, has left the building, and the learner is now solely in charge of the what, when, where, how, and with whom of learning. At this moment of huge shift, what are the new lenses through which we must contextualize our work as educators and change leaders? This session details nine challenging yet exciting new contexts that must now frame our work with students.
Reimagining Classrooms for the Modern World: The Opportunities for Learners in the Networked Era
Change Leadership: Implementing High Bar Change Initiatives To Move Schools Into The Future
Reimagining Classrooms for the Modern World: The Opportunities for Learners in the Networked Era
The age of continuous, ubiquitous learning is upon us, and the implications for schools and teachers are enormous. Knowledge and information are no longer siloed in a place-based curriculum. Expert teachers who share our passions are now everywhere and increasingly easy to access. And instead of tests and grades and diplomas to show our "expertise," mastery is transparent and shared through online portfolios of ideas and creations that are easily found through a Google search. How do we prepare our students for this new world where being a deep and powerful learner is now way more valuable than being learned and book smart?
That's the question we'll explore in this demanding yet inspiring full-day workshop on Reimagining Classrooms for the Modern World. It's a highly interactive and hands-on experience that will help you reexamine your personal and professional practice. We'll challenge traditional narratives of classrooms and create new stories that are founded in old truths about learning and the new realities of change. We'll build our own capacity to learn using technology, and we'll consider new ways of thinking about teaching, about literacy, and about flourishing in a world of "perpetual beta." And more.
Change Leadership: Implementing High Bar Change Initiatives To Move Schools Into The Future
Change is constant, yet in schools, change is rarely embraced at a systems level. More often, "change" is manifested in technology deployments, tweaks to existing policies, or the addition of new and improved curricular resources. Rarely does "change" rise to the level of belief systems, norms, or long term mission and vision work. That's because creating the conditions for serious, relevant, and sustainable change is complex and difficult work.
Yet, as many engaged in it will report, it's also some of the most important work leaders at every level can do right now. And while there is no set recipe for change, the ingredients are clear. This full-day workshop focuses on clarifying the whys and, even more, the hows of change that schools must now engage in to fully serve the modern learners now in their classrooms. Participants will walk away with the outlines of a long-term, comprehensive process for changing their schools that go beyond increasing efficiencies and, instead, focus on shifting the fundamental premises upon which schools now rest.

He retired from the role of Superintendent, responsible for District Leadership Development with the 75,000-student Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB), where he also served as the Board lead for Aboriginal education from 2006 until 2012.
Working closely with such renowned creativity experts as Sir Ken Robinson and Sir John Jones, Peter has become recognized internationally as a leader and catalyst for creative change district-wide initiatives that inspire and advance education; student, faculty, community and business engagement; and strength-based models and creative thinking. He has developed numerous presentations and papers on these topics, and is regularly invited to speak both nationally and internationally.
A critical component of Peter's work was the publication of a system and community action research study guided by the question, "What are the conditions under which creative and healthy individuals and organisations flourish?" In 2013, Peter's work was recognized when he was given the Distinguished Leadership Award by the Ontario Public Supervisory Officers' Association, representing one of the most successful education jurisdictions in the world.
With a reputation for engaging, compelling and practical ideas, Peter has advised academia, the business community and government departments at all levels on how to develop strategy to imbue creativity throughout an organization, as well as to create environments for optimal learning and engagement. Peter has been invited to sit on the Global Distinguished Leadership Panel at the Canadian Principals' Association conference, Banff, Alberta; on the creativity expert panel at the World Creativity Forum in Oklahoma; and was appointed to the Board of Directors for the US-based National Creativity Network.
More recently, Peter's book, The Wonder Wall, co-written with Jane Daly, outlines three imperatives and four conditions for leading creative organizations. The book includes powerful and poignant real life stories from individuals and organizations around the world, and has received outstanding reviews among learning, leadership and creativity leaders such as Sir Ken Robinson, (who wrote the Foreword), Richard Gerver, Pasi Sahlberg, and Sir John Jones.
Peter plays in a blues/rock band, and has been featured as an entertainer on provincial and national radio and television. He uses these talents to ensure his presentations balance imperative information with humour, hilarity and plenty of inspirational audience participation.
The Wonder Wall: Leading Creative Schools and Organizations in an Age of Complexity
The Wonder Wall: Leading Creative Schools And Organizations In An Age Of Complexity
Peter challenges us to consider why it is imperative, in this age of complexity, to foster learning cultures that encourage and spark the unique abilities, curiosity and interests that lie within our students, our teachers, our employees, and our broader learning community. Through this presentation Peter describes three imperatives and four conditions that he considers pivotal in unleashing cultures of possibility and creativity. He interacts with the audience throughout, and poses questions to help further thinking in the areas of learning, leadership and creativity:
• How do you set the stage to foster imaginative, creative and innovative organizational cultures? What barriers can you expect to encounter?
• What strategies can you use to move forward successfully? Peter challenges some common assumptions pertaining to leadership and learning, and provides suggestions and practical ideas to foster truly innovative and vibrant organizational cultures.
• What are the conditions for optimal learning and creativity to flourish? Peter will show you how to think through this crucial question—and suggests ways to move forward when the inevitable pushback occurs to organizational change.
• Learn about classrooms, schools and organizations that have successfully fostered creative learning cultures and find out we can learn from them.
He then challenges the audience to formulate their own questions and ideas – and draws on these throughout the session. And has a lot of fun doing it!
Making the Extraordinary Happen: Fostering Creative learning in classrooms and schools
Making The Extraordinary Happen: Fostering Creative Learning In Classrooms And Schools
Through this full day, highly interactive workshop, Peter uses a series of questions, stories from his own experiences, and anecdotes from multiple sectors of society to provide practical strategies to foster creative learning in your school, classroom and organization.
What is creativity?
How do we define it and why does this matter?
Why do we consider some children (and adults) creative and not others?
What is the role of imagination and creativity in our classrooms and organizations?
How can we best inspire the curiosity and natural wonder in our children?
What can we learn from other sectors to help inform what our schools should look like?
What are the critical imperatives upon which to found our learning cultures?
What conditions need to be in place to inspire joy and creativity in our learning?
These questions, and a host of others, create an experience through which Peter reveals his own beliefs about what works in classrooms, schools and organizations, what doesn't work, and how we can foster remarkable learning environments for our children – and throughout our organizations. Come prepared for a day of serious learning touched by joy, music, and lots of humour!

More I-don't-feel-goods
What a wonderful start to the weekend, first yesterday now this morning. I am not a morning person and waking up in pain just made me really cranky. I wasn't even going to get up but Mother Nature called loud and clear. So I dragged myself out of bed and took something. After an hour and a shower, I was feeling much more human. Ready to tackle the day and go to work. Work? On a saturday your ask? Yes, we have these experiments running that require contant care. As I had the last two weekends off and I was not going to Montreal this weekend, I gave one of the other post-docs a break. We have a new post-doc starting on Monday and she will be working on this project until she gets settled. So I need to get her access to the facility so I can have a break during the week to. At least we wrapped up one of the two experiments. Running two experiments at the same time, in the same cages is a real pain in the butt. This experiment is a short one so it will finish end of next week. Then I will give everyone a little break before starting another experiment.

Congratulations on all of the fabulous deals you have acquired so far for your vacation! By now you have saved a significant amount of money and will be able to use that hard earned cash for bigger and better attractions, nicer restaurants, or if you are like me, you can tuck it away for a future vacation in the not so distant future!
When it comes to attractions, I start by researching Chamber of Commerce and Convention and Visitor Bureau's websites. Just Google the city name and Chamber or CVB and you should be able to find it fairly quickly. If you have time before you leave, request any written information that they can send you. While you are e-mailing or calling them, ask them to tuck in any coupons or brochures they have on hand for the area. They don't mind doing this if they know you are definitely visiting the area.

Even a Hen Could Obtain Lasik Surgical procedureIf you take the time to check out any one of the message boards or chat rooms online about Lasik surgical procedure, you will certainly wonder how anyone might obtain the courage to set up a Lasik treatment, and also why on earth they would want it. The various Lasik clinics sound anywhere from impersonal to something similar to Dr. Monster's laboratory, as well as the Lasik procedure itself appears, well, surreal. It seems like the only individuals that would certainly obtain Lasik are those with such negative vision that they can not get out of bed without their glasses on.
Well, let me offer you my tale of exactly how I chose Lasik. For me, Lasik was not necessary, but I figured would certainly streamline my life. For these factors, Lasik looked extremely appealing.
The paragraph over might make you believe I am a "macho man" (hope so, think so!), so why in the world would I hesitate of a little Lasik scalpel? OK, practically Lasik does NOT utilize a scalpel yet rather a "microkeratome blade", however it is still a sharp item approaching my eye as part of the Lasik treatment. Nowadays Lasik medical professionals could get a laser to cut the flap in the eye, which is greater than a little far better than a sharp blade. Anyway, I had also many spills in my life to assume any kind of sharp object nearing my eye was an excellent concept, even under the skilled hands of a Lasik medical professional.
After chatting with 3 (yes, three!) independent Lasik doctors, they each assured me that a 28 years of age person in almost perfect health and wellness (OK, I exaggerate a bit) with modest nearsightedness was just one of the greatest prospects for a successful Lasik procedure. I decided to arrange my Lasik procedure with the one that had the best performance history, and also together took the most time to clarify every little thing about Lasik to me.
The Lasik surgical treatment was not unpleasant, though I accepted nearly whatever they used to provide me comfort, including a teddy and a sedative bear. (I even went back to take a photo of me as well as the Lasik soothing teddy bear.) The only unusual thing I keep in mind about the Lasik procedure itself was a smell, something slightly like hair burning. I mean that was my eye. I am kind of pleased they didn't tell me to expect that prior to the Lasik treatment, I am uncertain I would have entered.
After a couple of years, I presume I was a virtually perfect Lasik customer, as my eyes currently have 20/20 vision as well as have continued to be steady long after the Lasik operation. I claim that if you are a great candidate for a Lasik vision improvement treatment, order that teddy bear and go on in.
If you take the time to review any of the message boards or conversation areas on the Net regarding Lasik surgery, you will ask page yourself just how any individual could obtain the courage to arrange a Lasik procedure, and also why on earth they would certainly want it. The different Lasik clinics audio anywhere from impersonal to something similar to Dr. Monster's lab, and the Lasik procedure itself appears, well, surreal. OK, practically Lasik does NOT utilize a scalpel but instead a "microkeratome blade", yet it is still a sharp object approaching my eye as component of the Lasik treatment. I determined to schedule my Lasik procedure with the one that had the finest track document, and also coincidentally took the most time to describe everything about Lasik to me.

Shmurda to Serve 7 Years Following Plea Deal
After a long and suspenseful wait, rapper Bobby Shmurder will be serving a seven-year prison sentence after accepting a plea deal in court today. Shmurda, whom quickly became a rap sensation in 2014 with his breakout single titled "Hot Nigga", rose to fame in the hip hop and urban communities, because of his catchy hooks and violent lyrics.
Those same lyrics however would come back to haunt Shmurda in December of 2014 when he and several associates were arrested in a recording studio in New York City on a 69 count federal indictment with charges ranging from murder, attempted murder, drug dealing and a range of other crimes in the Brooklyn area. Prosecutors later used song lyrics along with an association with the well known street gang, the GS-9 Crips, as evidence in their case against him.
After spending 21 months in jail , failing to post his $2,000,000 bond ,Shmurda's attorneys have come to an agreement with prosecutors earlier today for a plead deal where he will spend 7 years in prison and five years probation. Not bad, considering Rashid Derissant GS-9 associative of Shmurdas ,received 58 1/2 years earlier this year. There has been no official word from Shmurda's representatives yet, however updates will be provided as they occur.

Update update update!
Wow! I can't believe how long it's been since i posted anything! I guess when i'm busy Blogging doesn't rank too high on my to do list.
So Here's what's new:
We (at work) survived our first sale, so that's good.
I'm working my first saturday this week, so we'll see how that goes.
i'm having lunch at Parliament House today, and the Watoto Children's Choir will be performing. It's a fundraiser held by Rev. Hon. Dr. Gordon Moyes for the choir, so it should be a good time. Our store donated some things to the auction, so it should be good to see how much it goes for.
Another part of my job is to look after the music section of our store, and that coupled with the position of store supervisor, i get calls from label reps and the like. I had someone from CCC music come and have a chat last week, which was good and informative. He also have Me a free dvd, which was very nice of him. Then, in our deliveries on tuesday, there were three cd's for Me from integrity music, which was a pleasant surprise. The best thing? I was actually considering purchasing all three of the cd's, but now i don't have to!
the three cd's were :
Coming Up to Breathe - Mercy Me
Phil Wickham - Phil Wickham
Welcome Home - Brian Littrell (of Backstreet Boys fame)
I'm still slowly reading the book on pre destination (God of the Possible), and even though it's heavy-going, it's good. Ps John actually spoke on pre destination on Sunday, which was great, as it's something that's not spoken about too much, especially from the pulpit.
well that's all for now - i'll try to post about the lunch and the choir on my way good tonight!

Prior to buying furniture to your Wall Decals for Bedroom Quotes, you should decide some factors such as wall colour, or bedroom wallpaper, and the sort of flooring you want. Make an effort to go with a colour that will help you build a calm atmosphere and in addition compliment well along with your furniture. The lighting needs to be chosen wisely as well want . very bright bedroom is just not soothing enough, whereas a room with insufficient lighting will hinder activities including bedtime reading. Accessories add some perfect finishing touch to bedroom designs. For instance, soft furnishings add comfort, style and colour whereas beautiful cashmere throws are lavish and warm. Scented candles put in a nice touch and woven baskets provide storage and deal with natural, rustic and eclectic styles. You can also use wallpaper to do business with the decoration of one's room, for instance, striped wallpaper will make walls look taller, or rooms appear wider, which is particularly best for small rooms.

Keep this in mind.
Something I stumbled over
How anyone can see Eddie Vedder as an "iconoclast" is beyond me. Perhaps I'm the only one who remembers his poser fans walking around in my freshman year of high school. They were so artistic, innovative, and original that they teased the baseball player who listened to country music. I was friends with the ball player; he didn't care much for those guys. Mostly, he just felt at home on the mound.
It's not just Eddie Vedder, either. Apparently there's a whole show of these phonies pretending to be iconoclasts. Fiona Apple? Quentin Tarantino? Dave Chapelle? These guys are the establishment, not the counter culture. I'm a guy that goes to Church, writes a blog, and wears expensive Portugese shoes because they're the only ones that help my knees get through another day. Even I can see through their self-promoting hype. None of these so-called iconoclasts have the courage to shatter icons of religion in the street. Every time they get close to upsetting the mainstream America that pays for The Sundance Channel, they back off and hide behind the first amendment. They have the right to say whatever they want to say, and even misrepresent their personalities to earn a buck. However, to be an outcast in America, you'll have to do better than irking a few bible-thumpers who themselves are a bit too eager to please the masses from the pulpit. We're a tolerant people. Making enemies with Jerry Falwell and Oral Roberts might be enough to impress socialist friends in Europe, but it's a long way from gaining my respect.
I listen to Robert Johnson sing the blues. There's more devil in his dead left hand than in Eddie Vedder's whole body. I can respect Kurt Cobain. That guy had pain in every note, and pain in every word. We would probably never see eye-to-eye on anything, but I would love the chance to try anyway. Unfortunately, he's gone.
Eddie Vedder, however, is still with us. He's even cool enough today to call himself an iconoclast. Fame is wasted on him.

I can't stand Eddie Vedder. I couldn't stand his band in highschool either. Still can't.

you guys are fucking idiots tat obviously don't know what the hell youyr talking about. Kurt Cobain was a wated herion addicted loser that wasted his life early 'cause he didn't want to "fade out". Vedder's a class act, 17 years later and the only seattle band left standing.

Tonight at dinner Miss Lucy asked Mr Nick "Dad, are you ever going to turn bad?"
"What do you mean, bad?" he replied.
"Oh, you know [thrusts fists and into the air as if punching someone repeatedly]."
"Bad like hitting people?"
"No, bad like not believing in God and going to church and stuff."
"Oh. Well, I don't think so."
Miss Lu thinks about that for a moment. Then, excitedly, she says "Hey, let's make a promise!"
"What kind of promise?" I asked.
"Let's promise to never turn bad!"
We all agree. Mr Nick has us all put our hands in toward the middle of the table, and we say together "I promise to never turn bad!" and then lift our hands high up in the air.
Miss Lu is very pleased.
Calvin Jesse continues to throw his ball and look for the crusts from his sandwich he tossed off from his high chair before we finally let him down.
It's a good way to end a day, promising as a family to never turn bad.
(Playing around with the camera is another good way to wrap up the day!)

secure your money
After much research into security, we offer two recommendations to ensure that your cryptocurrencies are protected. Keep reading to learn how to trade and hold cryptocurrency without worrying about the state of your holdings.
Step 1: Be Sure to use a vpn
Virtually Private Networks (VPN) keep your connection to the internet encrypted, anonymous, and, of course, private. In addition, a VPN can operate in any country so that you can make trades on the go. Such a system is extremely encouraged when trading bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in order to keep your assets safe. We here at The Daily Bit highly suggest the use of a Nord VPN server as it is efficient, secure, and speedy.
Step 2: Store your holdings on a wallet
If you keep your cryptocurrency on an exchange, there's no way to ensure its safety because an exchange can get hacked. The safer way is to keep your cryptocurrency on a hot wallet with services such as MyEtherWallet. However, the most secure method of monetary storage is on a cold wallet. On a cold wallet, your cryptocurrency is stored in a secure, offline environment. The best companies that do this are Ledger Nano or Trezor. We highly recommend storing your personal wealth on cold wallets.

President Bush today, finally, said the "Islamofacist" word and it is about time.
It is because Mr. Bush said a word that the CAIR crowd has already condemened that we are framing what the War Against Terror is all about.
It is not about subjugating that masses of Islam to Christian rule or to convert them to Christianity. It is to take the fight to those that have so scared the majority of peaceful adherents to Islam. They are to be called by their proper name-Islamofacists.
Mr. Bush has done his best to point out that most Islamics are peaceful people and trying to do their best to follow their religion to the best of their understanding.
What Mr. Bush has failed to do until today is frame the War Against Terror in undeniable terms. To refer to the thugish adherents as what they are. Today in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Mr Bush, praising British officials fot thwarting the next 9/11, he said "Islamofacists" and it is about time.
Of course the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) went ballistic because Mr. Bush took the gloves off. We need the gloves to come off and call the enemy what it is and to continue the fight, whether it is in Afghanistan, Iraq or the shadowy world that is Islamofacist terrorists.
Now, Mr. Bush must not succumb to Democratic and left-wing opinion and try to take back that comment. He must continue to say the I-word every chance he gets. It frames the debate and takes it out of the leftist shadows and the "gray areas" that they so like.
Like it or not, this is a titanic struggle of good vs. evil. Not Christianity vs. Islam, but good people of both and the Jewish faith, the world's three monotheistic religions fighting those who will pervert Islam and throw the world to a dark age of misogynist rule under a caliphate or caliphates.
Now, President Bush that you have said the I-word, keep it up. Let the American people and the enemy know that we know what we are up against.

In the late autumn of 1975, as J.J. Johnston remembers it, ``I was at this cattle-call audition for a commercial at (filmmaker) Joe Sedelmaier`s, and my friend (and fellow actor) Bob Swan-Big Bobby Swan-comes up to me and says, `You know this guy Dave Mamet? They say he`s a pretty good writer. He`s got this play, ``American Buffalo,`` and they`re holding auditions for it over at Goodman.` ``
Johnston, an actor just then making his way in the profession, did indeed know Mamet. They had worked together in children`s theater and had appeared as World War II sailors in a production of ``Mister Roberts,`` starring John Gavin, at the old Mill Run Theatre.

The Wowona Packing Company out of Cutler, CA announced that it's expanding a voluntary recall because the fruit could be contaminated with Listeria.
The fruit was packed from June 1st through July 17th, and the company said that the recall affects a number of grocers, including CostCo, Trader Joe's, Kroger and Walmart.
Starting today, the government has strengthened its requirements for what foods can be labeled as gluten-free. Now, food manufacturers have to make sure that a food has fewer than 20-parts-per-million of gluten before it can legally be labelled "Gluten-Free" and be placed on shelves.
20 parts-per-million of gluten is the amount that's generally recognized by the medical community as being low enough to not trigger any reaction in people who have celiac disease, which is a severe gluten allergy.
Right now, these new rules don't apply to restaurants, but the F.D.A. is encouraging them to get on board as well.
Gluten is a protein typically found in grains like wheat, rye and barley.
A new trend is catching on at businesses - daily meditation.
A new study found that people make more decisive and rational business decisions after just a 15-minute meditation session. It also found that people who meditate regularly tend to get higher performance ratings and are less likely to quit.
The effects aren't just personal. Researchers found that when bosses meditate, their employees tend to perform better as well.
The travel site Orbitz recently created a meditation and prayer center at one of its locations after noticing that employees were sometimes sneaking into stairwells for peace and quiet. H.B.O., Proctor & Gamble, and the Seattle Seahawks also make time for workers to meditate during the day.

words by ross jones
A wonderful energy subsumes 'Stubborn Comfort', the first full-length from Rochester, New York trio Anamon. Recording the whole nine-track album one late night in humid July, the group drew Ana Emily Monaco's music from it's shrewdly contemplative foundations and crafted something that glistens with an irreplaceable togetherness. It's particularly prevalent on new single 'Fast Car', the second taste of their anticipated record which is set for release next month.
The most interesting of elements to Anamon's music is time. 'Stubborn Comfort' is a collection of songs that Monaco wrote over a few years, the experiences and subtle alterations in personality that mature and develop weaved within the spacious atmospherics of their warm, bristling guitars and Monaco's demonstrative voice. 'Fast Car', with it's tap-spun pace and jumping, bass-heavy rhythms, almost embodies the process of their recording, the spirit of completing something so full and rich in a such a short amount of time gleams within.
At a barely visible two and a half minutes, you'd expect a throng of ideas rushing for contention within its busy timeframe, yet Monaco's songwriting is much more perceptive, able to slowly and earnestly adjure the lingering illustrations that radiate from her words, all characteristically sparing and incisive. It's a highlight, a beaming embodiment of integral intimacy.
'Stubborn Comfort' is available from November 10th

What Should I Do?
Hi everyone! I only have 3 classes left to take for my pre-reqs. Those classes are A&P II, Statistics and Microbiology. Should I take A&P II along with Statistics and then Microbiology over the summer? Has anyone ever been in this predicament before and if so, how did you make out?
About lecole01
Joined: Jul '17; Posts: 22; Likes: 10Oct 5, '17I am taking micro, a&p II, psychology, and nurse aide. It's doable if you study everyday. I took stats online and a&p I last summer and it was an easy classOct 5, '17I'd do Micro and A&P II, then stats over the summer. Micro isn't a class I'd recommend shortening.Oct 5, '17Yup, all three are certainly doable, but if you really want to take a maximum of two at once, take statistics over the summer. Also, if your A&P class is anything like mine, you may well see some crossover between some of the microscopic content.Oct 5, '17Before you sign up for classes, make sure that the class you need to take over the summer is indeed offered over the summer. Don't ask me how I know this.Oct 5, '17It depends on when the cut-off point is for applying, and how well you personally can handle a heavy workload.
I had a similar situation and ended up taking 4 classes at once. It was a nightmare, but I was determined to meet the deadline to apply. I took Chemistry, Chemistry lab, microbiology, and pathophysiology.Oct 5, '17I would suggest taking Micro/A&P over the summer if they are offered concurrently. If not, at least take Micro over the summer. Depends how strong you are with math when it comes to stats. I thought it was easy, but it also depends on your instructor.Oct 5, '17I would not do that course load of summer, but that's me & I know something would suffer if I had tried that because I know myself. Not everyone is that way, what one person can handle, others can't, you may be able to handle it, but, be honest with yourself about your abilities to take on a heavy course load like that. Good luck.Oct 5, '17I took Micro by itself. It was very demanding but I did well. It just depends what else you have going on. I was working and took it at night with lab twice a week (I think). I also took A & P I & II by themselves, but I was working full-time when I did that. Stats I took with other classes but I think they were pretty easy classes so I could concentrate on the stats.Oct 6, '17Micro was the easiest of those 3 classes for me. It really depends on you and what your strengths and weaknesses are. If you struggle with Math I would actually tell you not to take either of those classes with statistics, but then they usually can't be taken at the same time, either.Oct 7, '17I took anatomy with micro and it wasn't too difficult but it was very time consuming. You have A LOT of studying to do. I had to take 6 hours for each class to study and it was hard to balance at times. I don't recommend taking micro over the summer, I think stats would be better for the summer than micro.

Apologies to my readers for my tardiness. I have been traveling a lot lately, and it hampers my ability for the real important things in life--blogging. ;)
I recently posted on some possible ways to merge NAMB and IMB, and Mike Ebert, Communications team leader at NAMB, was gracious to post a reply. I am going to comment on his reply here, rather than in the comments section, because I believe my readers will gain something through our interaction. If it happens in the comments, it will probably just be ignored. I would encourage you to go to that page and read his complete comment in its context as I am going to pull out specific quotes.
I'm sorry you didn't get your questions answered properly, but don't give up on us just because someone wasn't able to clearly explain how we work!
For the record, I do view NAMB to be a valuable entity. Like most SBC entities, however, I think that we need to make changes so that we continue to look outward. My question to the gentleman at NAMB was specifically "Does NAMB have any cross cultural church planters working in my city?" That is when he explained to me NAMBs connection through the state and association levels. I am deeply concerned to find that we only have one person doing this kind of work through any SBC entity. Our city is a "majority minority city. It is the 4th largest hispanic city in the world. We have the third largest Vietnamese population in the States and are home to over 100,000 Muslims. One person just seems inadequate.
I only really went looking for answers at NAMB because some people who heard about our project thought that we were putting ourselves in competition with NAMB. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. We certainly don't need just one more organization. Turns out we are not.
Because all of NAMB's mission field—North America—is on someone else's home turf—state conventions, associations, churches—we're very careful to work through SBC partnership. That means some missionaries who receive partial funding from us don't even receive a paycheck that says "NAMB" on it. It comes from the local state convention or the association or the church and those entities receive dollars from NAMB.
And isn't that the way we would want it?
This is the mentality that I keep running into--Turf. I do realize that for the sake of the local church we don't necessarily want national resources being used to set up a church just down the road which "competes" with at existing church. Why would the first church give to such an organization? At the same time, this is exactly the problem we need to address--turf.
Each level of SBC entities adopts the same mentality. I currently am working at an association; and that is where I realized the problem. We, as an association, have been doing people group research for our city. Our mentality was that we would have the information ready (who the PGs where, where the are, a basic worldview document, and a few pointers on strategy for working in that context.). Our SOP was to wait for the initiative of the churches to come to us with this burden. We were poised to help them once they came to us (though we were beating this drum at every meeting). The problem, is that when you look at our city in terms of "red dots" (think of the IMB world evangelization map), that we have many red dots just waiting for the gospel, and most churches are only thinking about themselves, their Sunday event, and their bottom line. If reaching a red dot doesn't help them, then they aren't interested. We, the association, needed to change and become more proactive. When I went looking for partners, I looked to those organizations closest to us-state convention and NAMB-and realized that they were operating under our old paradigm. They wait on the initiative of the churches. The red dots can't wait. This isn't really anyone's turf since most of these people are not candidates for the churches in our city, not to mention the fact that most of the churches are in the suburbs and most of the internationals are in town. What is true of the world (that all of the resources and the green dots are in the west) is also true of our city. The resources and believers are out of town and all of the major areas of lostness are in town.
It doesn't matter to me whose name is on the check or who gets credit {and I think it is positive that NAMB is funding stuff that doesn't bear its name-kudos}, but we need to get past respecting churches, associations, and states turf. We need to be proactive in our mission--unilateral if necessary. In our overseas operations we deal with many of the same issues. What is the role of the local church in reaching the majority people group? There are instances in which we work with and through the local church. But in the 10/40 window, more often than not, the work must be done in spite of the local believers {there are significant cultural, religious, and even ethnic barriers which explain why the churches are reluctant, and at times resistant, to reaching out}. All of this is particularly true in the Muslim world. In the same way, we need to be willing to send missionary church planters to the international population in our major cities just like we do overseas. Though our churches at home don't have the same soci-cultural issues, they are still reluctant to get into local internal work.
Most state conventions or local associations or local churches for that matter don't want (or need) a national entity coming in and telling them where they need a church. So we work in conjunction with them.
I agree. We don't need a top down organization. But at the same time, the local church is not equipped to look at their city as a strategy coordinator would. That is to say, most churches think they are effective if their sanctuary is full and if their budget is met. They only start asking questions when they see empty seats.
Regarding restructuring our denomination, I personally am in favor of getting rid of the middle man (the state conventions). I do realize that will never happen. But while we are dreaming... I think that NAMB can be a cooperative way for all of our churches to channel their money towards local missions. NAMB can funnel money and provide guidance at the strategy level {Someone has to be keeping their eye on the red dots and funneling people and resources to them}. The local association can provide local and regional strategy and guidance. All of the other activities of the state conventions {since we just got rid of them} need to be carried out as an integral part of the strategy to impact lostness. {this is actually a great way to evaluate church programs at the local level. Leadership sets the focus and strategy and then evaluates programming in light of that. Some things get cut. Others get refocused. Our ESL program might stay, but we tweak it so that we are using this as a part of our strategy to reach a particular branch of our community with the gospel}. We need orphanages, hospitals, etc, but how do they fit in to our overall strategy? I think they are important and useful, but, perhaps, there is a better way of structuring them so that they make more sense strategically {we still provide the same services, but in a format which better demonstrates our commitment to meeting needs and reaching people}.
We provide research, training, strategy, experienced church planters, resources, etc. And, yes, funding.
All of this is great, but this is exactly what the state conventions and local associations provide. There is one thing that each level needs to add to their list of services--Leadership. I am not all negative concerning the local church. There are a great many of them which are interested in reaching the internationals in their community, but they have no one to show them how. Thus, they either do nothing, or strike out on their own. You and I both know that there are resources available, but the churches don't know that. I am with the IMB {its complicated} and have visited many churches that don't know that the IMB is the SBC mission board! This is true at the local level as well. Many of the rank and file at our churches don't know that they are part of our association or what our association does. There is a disconnect between our entities and our churches and if the SBC will go forward effectively this needs to be remedied. But what if an entity {be it NAMB the association or the state} were to use money to fund a missionary church planter who served as a networker to compel and lead churches to action? I think a lot of church which are sitting on the fence would jump on that.
As for MSC missionaries. They've been a part of what we do since the late 1970's. We don't appoint an MSC missionary unless the local state convention tells us they fit with their state mission strategy. True, they are not funded in the traditional SBC missions model way, but the origin of the paycheck is not what makes a missionary. Our state convention partners provide local oversight of MSC missionaries and hold them accountable to the missionary ministries they are performing.
I wasn't trying to say anything negative about MSC. We have had MSCers at our church before and it was a real blessing and I assume that is the case wherever they go. By definition, this couple who served in our church were not missionaries. They did play a vital role in our church, they just weren't missionaries by definition or role. When the average southern Baptist hears that we have 5,000 missionaries stateside, he is hearing that we have 5,000 people who are on the street, sharing the gospel and planting churches. Truth be told, most rank and file Baptists, pastors included, probably don't know what NAMB does, and this is a problem {the same is true of the SBC, State conventions, local associations, IMB--and we wonder why we are in trouble...}.
Mike, I appreciate your time and interest. I do understand the political restrictions on NAMB {which also apply to the associations and state conventions} but to me, that is the problem. The goal of a missionary is to take the name of Christ where it is not known. By definition, that is no one's turf.

Kota Kinabalu Town Centre
Kota Kinabalu is the capital of Sabah and has a population of around 600,000. It is the 6th largest city in Malaysia. The residents are very mixed, comprising of the local Kadazan and Dusun Ethnic Groups, Chinese, Malays, Indians and also immigrants from the Philippines and Indonesia.
KK Town Centre is small and compact. You can walk from one end to the other in probably half an hour. The town is laid out in a grid with main roads running parallel to the waterfront. It is an easy town to walk around, and there are lots of interesting things to discover as you will find out in my future posts. Over the years, the waterfront has been reclaimed to make way for new developments, and there is currently a major redevelopment under construction at the South-Western end of the town.
There are not many highrise buildings in KK Town Centre, most of the structures here are low-rise shophouses. One of the most popular building typology is a 6 to 7 storey shophouse or shop-office with courtyards or lightwells in the middle. The Api-Api Centre was one of the earliest examples of this typology and remains very popular till today.
The Api-Api Centre. Now painted in green. It used to be bright orange.
Wisma Sabah - one of the early local landmarks. There are many tour agents here.
The Grand Hyatt KK - one of the first 5 star hotels in KK.
The Centre Point Shopping Centre - one of the biggest in KK, now overtaken by OneBorneo, a huge development about 1/2 hour drive from KK Town Centre.
The heart of KK Town. Shophouses predominate.
Some new developments still following the shophouse typology - the Wawasan Square near the Waterfront.

Works by Lee Blessing, Julia Cho and Rebecca Gilman make up the eight plays selected for this summer's O'Neill Playwrights Conference as part of the O'Neill Theater Center in Waterford.
The selection is smaller than usual, attributed to the late-in-season appointment of conference director Wendy Goldberg. She is also artistic associate at the Arena Stage in Washington, D.C., where for five years she has directed the new-play development programs, as well as directed plays.

In a April 2013 email with the Co-Chair of the Pensacola Port Users Association, the City CAO Bill Reynolds begs for enlightenment on how the Port of Pensacola could be better used "given its location".
After Zimmerman is paid to market the Port, after the Port committee has adjourned, after screwing up project High Hat and after 2 years of Hayward leadership, the City's CAO still doesn't have a plan for the Port.
Sad but true!
Enlighten Me!

Gone are the days when married people were totally out of bounds to the single and searching. Nowadays, it seems wearing the ring means they are only one foot in the pool-still active for the taking. Apart from the witchcraft of wanting to take someone else's spouse just because you think you deserve him better than the wife, some people clearly don't see the big deal of playing the side chick role because the man is 'good, generous and responsible' as if that makes it okay to parasite on a fellow woman's husband. Most men would back off after their close female friends got married or found out a woman they were into was someone else's spouse out of respect. After all, you don't do what you wouldn't like to be done to you, right? Some people don't honestly care about the feelings of others.
Check out this scenario. A struggling lady in between jobs comes across a 'nice' man who helps her out financially and even goes out of his way to help her get a good job. On one of their conversations, it slips out that he is married but is unhappy. The lady's first instinct is to break things off immediately but reconsiders because of the immense help he has been to her. He assures her he'd leave his wife and marry her if she would agree to it. Confused about what to do considering the fact that she was already having feelings for him, she consulted her mother about the situation hoping to get some wisdom.
And guess what, the mother proposed that since the man is generous and responsible, the lady should consider having his child so she would be assured of being well taken care of. When she protested that the man was married, the mother dismissed it saying, if the wife was taking good care of her husband, he wouldn't be chasing her around town. And if the wife made him as unhappy as he claimed, then there was nothing wrong with keeping such a good man happy if it was in her power to do so.
"But he's married!" Either the m word didn't sink into her thoughts or she just chose to ignore it, the mother insisted that it was fine if she didn't want to take over the wife's place in his life but bearing him a child was the way to go.
"But if he can leave his wife for me, then he can leave me too for another." "That's why I'm not necessarily asking you to accept his marriage proposal. Just bear him a child, preferably, a son. That would seal the deal. This way, he will take care of you and the baby and if you find a husband for yourself later on, you can end things with him romantically but keep him bound to taking care of his child. All the good men are either taken or yet to be born, my dear. You either switch off the conscience and grab the ones who come on to you or you wait your turn. You know time isn't really on your side. You don't have many years to wait around. Take him on his offer. You get spared on performing the wifely duties but enjoying receiving the cash. I'm telling you things have changed. You have to change along with it."
Seriously? This misguided advice wasn't offered by her peers who might be dismissed of not knowing better but by her mother who by the fact that she is older and has seen much more of life would tell her the truth no matter how unpleasant it might sound.
Since when did married mean flirt with until you find your own? Why can't people put themselves in the shoes of the ones they want to overthrow? The fact that he claims he is unhappy doesn't make it right for one to play the role of the spare part whose services are sought for when the main machine was faulty.
Some ladies actually push these married men to leave their wives and marry them instead. They forget the whole ball game changes when you move in together. There's a lot of insecurity about where he is when you don't reach him on the phone or he comes home late because of fears that he has found yet another someone to play your previous side chick role. Stolen possessions never last long in the grips of the thief.
If he claims he is unhappy, maybe he should work on himself and his marriage. The flames of compatibility might not always be on but marriage is more than feelings. It's a commitment. Leave him to figure it out. If he goes ahead to leave his wife, you should have no hand in it. The tears of a neglected wife would only curse you and your future.
Married meant out of bounds back then and should mean even more the same today.

The Scarecrow, the Woman, and the Crows
Last night, I lay quietly in my bed, My face buried in the round pillow, my body kissing the crumpled bedsheet - of rough cotton which was made. I read a book on the farewell to arms, and how a soldier ran away from the war with his newly found love in a young, caring… Continue reading The Scarecrow, the Woman, and the Crows
Wanting More
I was never the kind of lover who would listen to women asking for more sonnets to be written for them, instead, I would write haikus and leave them wanting for more in a state of utter confusion.
The Art of Living
In Bihar, staying in the three-storeyed, well-painted house with four wild cats, two ever-hungry dogs, a picture of your dead brother, hanging, and parents - one on pills, the other too loud is like staying in a cocoon - rolling, turning, twisting, knowing that you are over-sized. Here, you eat good food with fat -… Continue reading The Art of Living
The Lizard and the Poet
The green lizard on the cemented wall crawls near the bright yellow light that fills the room while the sunlight is away, It sticks its tongues out, traps a fly, chews on it, swallows it. Stays. The lizard wriggles its tail - contented with the newly acquired food and the bright, warm, yellow light. *****… Continue reading The Lizard and the Poet

Sleeping teen while fucked
Finals are coming up at school and the best place to find hot chicks are at coffee shops. I cruised over to one across from the city college campus a few nights ago and started talking to this incredibly hot bitch! She was sweet but when we started flirting I knew right away she would throw those books on the ground the second she saw my cock. Of course I took her back to her place around the corner when I started to caress her perky tits. She was pretty tired at first but woke up when she kissed her way down to my hard cock. Her throat felt fucking great! After a long while of fucking she knocked out and we took a nap. I woke up and took off her bra again. Her panties just slid right off tight wet pussy like butter! This slut has one amazing ass and a beautiful face to smear my load on!!

The Trump administration has thought of a new way to help preserve the safety of Americans while still encouraging tourists to visit. By applying new questions that ask for social media history, security will be able to better find those who might have some sort of terrorist connections.
Under the new, stricter rules, the questionnaire will demand to know a visa seeker's past 5 years of social media history, emails, phone numbers, and even employment history.
While critics are arguing that this will discourage some from coming to the United States, this is a policy all cities can support.
AmericaNow reports:
Officials will request the additional information when they determine "that such information is required to confirm identity or conduct more rigorous national security vetting," a State Department official said on Wednesday.
The State Department said earlier the tighter vetting would apply to visa applicants "who have been determined to warrant additional scrutiny in connection with terrorism or other national security-related visa ineligibilities.
President Donald Trump has vowed to increase national security and border protections, proposing to give more money to the military and make Mexico pay to build a wall along the southern U.S. border.
He has tried to implement a temporary travel ban on people from six Muslim-majority nations that a U.S. appeals court refused to reinstate, calling it discriminatory and setting the stage for a showdown in the Supreme Court.
The Office of Management and Budget granted emergency approval for the new questions for six months, rather than the usual three years.
While the new questions are voluntary, the form says failure to provide the information may delay or prevent the processing of an individual visa application.
Immigration lawyers and advocates say the request for 15 years of detailed biographical information, as well as the expectation that applicants remember all their social media handles, is likely to catch applicants who make innocent mistakes or do not remember all the information requested.
The new questions grant "arbitrary power" to consular officials to determine who gets a visa with no effective check on their decisions, said Babak Yousefzadeh, a San Francisco-based attorney and president of the Iranian American Bar Association.
"The United States has one of the most stringent visa application processes in the world," Yousefzadeh said. "The need for tightening the application process further is really unknown and unclear."
