Past Internships
Past students at the School in Jordan have held internships in a variety of fields. Read below about their experiences.
Ellise Johnson (Spring 2019, Middlebury College)
During my spring semester in Amman, Jordan, I completed an internship at the children's literature publishing house Al Salwa Publishers. I worked as their in-house translator and completed nine translation projects (all Arabic language children's books that I translated into English) in addition to many other small translation projects including back cover synopses, information sheets for book fairs, topical research projects, and blogs.
This internship was one of my most fulfilling experiences in Jordan, and I'm so happy that I stepped out of my comfort zone and worked with Al Salwa. I study translation at Middlebury College, so getting to apply the theory I had learned in my classes was an invaluable experience. I loved exploring the topics present in Jordanian and Middle Eastern children's literature. For example, I translated a story about a squirrel spilling milk, as well as an Omani adventure story in which the main character talks about her life living on the coast of and training to be a deep-sea diver. Translating stories offered me a new perspective on Arab literature as well as gave me the opportunity to tackle unique translation challenges such as translating dialectical intricacies that might be lost in English.
Along with abstract translation skills, I also dramatically improved my Arabic comprehension over the course of the semester. Reading two to three short stories per week made me a more confident reader, and the books were filled with practical language that I make use of every day. The office was such a lovely work environment, where I felt empowered to use my Arabic in every interaction.
This internship was an incredibly positive component of my study abroad experience. I am confident that I will use the valuable knowledge and connections that I made throughout my internship in my career and life post-graduation.
Clare Grindinger (Spring 2019, Washington University in St. Louis)
I liked my Global Nomads Group internship. The staff was incredibly warm and welcomed me into the GNG family. I worked on current and future projects, analyzing the programs GNG has in place currently for enhancement and creating and researching new curriculum material for future GNG programs. I worked with staff from New York City and London, and had the opportunity to interview professors from Morocco to Jordan who work with GNG in Arabic. GNG was a great office experience in Amman!
Catherine Cartier (Spring 2018, Davidson College)
This spring, I interned at We Love Reading (WLR), a locally run nonprofit that seeks to foster a love of reading in children in Jordan and around the world. I worked closely with WLR staff to review and produce content for their new website. I also produced two newsletters updating supporters about the organization's accomplishments. Attending a training in Irbid for new WLR volunteers, called Reading Ambassadors, was my favorite aspect of my experience. I loved seeing the enthusiasm of new participants and talking to them about their aspirations to bring a love of reading to their families and communities. I also greatly enjoyed getting to know my coworkers, who are deeply committed to WLR's mission. This internship allowed me to see the logistics of running a non-profit in Jordan, and through workplace communications, I greatly expanded my vocabulary.
Center for Strategic Studies/University of Jordan
Rachel Furlow (Spring 2018, GWU)
The Center for Strategic Studies (CSS) is a political and economic think tank based at the University of Jordan. The Center focuses its analysis on political, military, economic, and social issues that concern Jordan and the wider region and has frequently been ranked as one of the premier institutions of its kind in the Middle East. It hosts scholars on a wide variety of subjects and its scholars conduct quantitative and qualitative studies, host events, and collaborate on cross-regional academic efforts. During my time at CSS as an intern, I worked mostly with Dr. Walid Al-Khatib who is an assistant researcher and the Director of the Public Opinion Polling Department at the Center. My primary tasks were research-based including, but not limited to, conducting background research, writing literature reviews, editing English reports, and translating videos and articles from Arabic to English. Overall, the experience solidified my desire to work in policy centers in the future and allowed me to gain experience in a top think tank in the Middle East.
Vignesh Ramachandran (Spring 2017, Middlebury College)
This spring semester I had the opportunity to be a teaching assistant at a United Nations Reliefs and Works Agency Preparatory School in Jabal Nuzha. UNRWA serves the educational needs of Palestinian refugee children enrolled with the Agency at several school across Amman and Jordan. In my time at the preparatory school not only did I have the opportunity to hone my teaching skills with the 8th, 9th, and 10th graders, I also had the opportunity to attend classes with them in Arabic - mainly history, science, and Fusha. I also attended several events that occurred at the school with the students, like lectures about mental health, student led discussions about fighting the presence of drugs and gender-based violence in schools, and competitions that the students were involved in. This internship exposed me to the Jordanian education system and more specifically UNRWA's programs in education. Moreover I developed friendships with both students and teachers, enhancing my cultural understanding of Palestinian refugees in Jordan.
Daniel Buchman (Spring 2017, Middlebury College)
Mabarrat Um el Hussein is a home for at-risk and orphaned boys founded by Zain el-Sharaf (HM King Hussein's mother) in 1959. The Mabarrat currently operates under the patronage of HRH Princess Basma and serves a total of 70+ boys between the ages of 6 and 18 years-old. Some live at home but take advantage of the Mabarrat's services while others (a little over half) spend Saturday through Thursday at the Mabarrat and return home for the weekend.
My internship had two aspects to it; the first was administrative work. The Mabarrat is constantly looking for funding, so much of my job was to either write, edit, or translate potential proposals using a variety of media. I would work with the Mabarrat's general supervisor, who is a wonderful hard-working woman named Hanan Gammoh, to locate potential funding sources and work with her to assess what in the Mabarrat needs development or funding. I also translated press releases, wrote donor thank you cards, and made a film showcasing for board members all the Mabarrat's annual activities. Preparing for the annual Diplomatic Corps Bazar fundraising event was also a large part of the job.
The second aspect was locating volunteers and teaching courses. I was tasked with finding volunteers and supervising their work with the students while setting up other activities throughout the semester. I brought a storyteller and a stage magician to the Mabarrat and organized a visit to King's Academy. I also taught an English course to a group of local community women, who rely on the course to secure work and improve their quality of life, in addition to establishing a film production course using our newly renovated video lab facility. Throughout this time, I lived in the Mabarrat, so that the boys could get used to me and I could get to know them.
Cassandra Wanna (Spring 2017, Middlebury College)
CARE Jordan is an international non-governmental organization, and one of its many roles within the country is assistance to refugee populations. My work with the organization was within Azraq Camp which is currently the second largest camp in Jordan and provides shelter to almost 55,000 Syrian refugees. CARE has a Community Center within each village of the camp that provides activities, Case Management offices, and from which Outreach Teams are dispatched to meet with individuals within the camp from the comfort of their own caravans.
During my time with CARE, I was involved with all of these activities and was able to work within every village in the camp. However, the majority of my time was spent in the after-school activities program for children. I was charged with planning and implementing activities for the children and leading a team of Syrian refugees who also worked with the children. Most of my internship was physically spent within the camp, but I also worked on revision of documents in English, translation of documents from Arabic to English, drafting of proposals, and donor mapping. Overall, this is an amazing organization, and the work although challenging will be most beneficial for the right individual.
Humanitarian Research Services
Katie Preston (Spring, 2016, Middlebury College)
Humanitarian Research Services (HRS) collects vital information on humanitarian conditions across Syria to share with humanitarian organizations working inside the country. Focusing on Opposition-controlled areas, HRS gathers data on the realities of life in different Syrian villages, and tracks the movement of internally displaced persons (IDPs) for wider use.
My work at HRS focused on the northwest province of Idlib. I was responsible for compiling daily updates of events occurring in 'my' province, via different open-source resources. These events ranged from daily bombardments by Government and Russian forces to rises in fuel and bread prices. The bulk of my work at HRS was comprised of translating reports coming directly from Syria. Reports were often standardized site assessments of different villages written in MSA, but also included transcripts of analysts' conversations in Syrian dialect. Reports dealt with the demographics, healthcare needs, aid distribution, and physical safety of cities and towns throughout Idlib. After translating reports, I would enter them to a larger HRS database. HRS's interns would also catalog conflict events across all of Syria and enter them alongside the humanitarian data we were collecting and translating. I assisted analysts in their research projects, while conducting independent research. My research project focused on the string of protests that took place in Maarat al-Nu'man in the spring of 2016.
Daniel Peña (Spring 2015, Middlebury College)
Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD)-Legal Aid is a Jordanian independent non-governmental organization that seeks to increase access to justice through legal and capacity building, and advocacy programs. The goal is to empower marginalized communities and contribute as a civil society organization to a just and stable society.
My internship at ARDD-Legal Aid has provided me with a much widened understanding of the role of local NGOs in Jordan and their effectiveness in implementing change. While at ARDD-Legal Aid, I was entrusted with a variety of tasks that ranged from donor research and development work to helping plan and execute the first International Women's Day Conference that was held in partnership with Princess Basma bint Talal. Specifically, I assisted with ongoing data collection for projects; translation of surveys from the programs beneficiaries; a mapping system of Jordanian based civil society organizations; an in-depth analysis of Zakat and Waqf and its relation to humanitarian assistance in the MENA-region, and the first Quarterly Gender Pulse that provided an analysis of the regions media coverage of gender-based issues, specifically in regards to Arab women.
Working with ARDD-Legal Aid, I have had the opportunity to gain invaluable knowledge that transcends the walls of this organization to the hearts of those thousands of refugees living in Jordan. Their stories, which I have heard through reporting, stories discussed within the office, or personal interactions on site visits to Zaatari or workshops, has provided me with a holistic image of the Syrian refugee crisis, the challenges facing Jordanian youth, and the ongoing issues and challenges that women in Jordan face. While these stories may have brought heartache and questioning about the future of these individuals within the context of Jordan, ARDD-Legal Aid has proven to be an outlet and source of empowerment. The organization has provided the most vulnerable populations with support through a variety of outlets, units and programming. The projects and events that I have had a privilege to participate in and contribute to at ARDD-Legal Aid, have only furthered my hopes and perspective for prosperity and justice within the region.
Will Brennan-Arffmann (Spring 2015, Middlebury College)
This spring semester I was fortunate to work with Naseem Tarawneh and Mariam Adas on various projects they began this past winter. I helped launch various websites and social media platforms under their supervision, but primarily focused on creating written and visual content for Akhbarek—a website focused on sharing stories surrounding the topics of women's issues and gender/sexuality in the Arab world. Weekly activities involved meeting with fellow writers and the graphic designer for brainstorming sessions, which typically occurred every Sunday. After deciding on which stories we wanted to write, each person would take on certain responsibilities to complete them by the proposed deadline. I partook in completing different aspects of the story depending on my interests in the subjects; sometimes I wrote an article, while other times I was assigned to photographing or filming content that complimented the written portion of the story. We would prioritize assignments according to their deadlines, and throughout the rest of the week we travelled within the city of Amman (and sometimes explore its surrounding areas) to document stories through photography, film, and recorded interviews.
Another part of my job was to develop Akhbarek's presence on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. My primary responsibility was to provide images that either advertised written content on Akhbarek or highlighted accomplished women around the world. I wrote captions for each image in Modern Standard Arabic and English, and sometimes would include phrases in the Jordanian dialect if the post addressed an issue within Amman and/or its surrounding areas.

The role of climate change, as measured in terms of changes in the climatology of geophysical variables (such as temperature and rainfall), on the global distribution and burden of vector-borne diseases (VBDs) remains a subject of considerable debate. This dissertation attempts to contribute to this debate via the use of mathematical (compartmental) modeling and statistical data analysis. In particular, the objective is to find suitable values and/or ranges of the climate variables considered (typically temperature and rainfall) for maximum vector abundance and consequently, maximum transmission intensity of the disease(s) they cause.

Philippines, permanently converting much of the population within three generations. The Portuguese and the regulars of several other nations had also achieved substantial numbers ofbaptisms in China, Indochina, Indonesia, and Japan - although much of the progress achieved in the latter region was beginning to crumble by 1650 as the Tokugawa Shogunate launched a broad movement of Christian persecution.
The late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were to witness a continuing expansion of Christianity in certain areas of the world. Spain and Portugal pursued their conversions in the Americas, moving into the Californias and parts of Amazonia and Patagonia. In British and French North America, conversions remained relatively limited, although the period saw a huge influx of permanent European settlers, professing a wide variety of Christian denominations and sects. The eighteenth century also marked the advent ofthe first systematic Protestant missions activity, especially under the influence of the Pietists, who sponsored missionary efforts in North America, Africa, and India. But perhaps the most spectacular new conversions occurred among black African slaves on plantations across the Americas and the Caribbean. Free blacks from the nascent United States would themselves play an important role in proselytizing certain regions of West Africa.
Elsewhere, however, Christian missions experienced major disappointments and setbacks. In the eighteenth century, state-sponsored attacks on the Christian clergy and laity spread from Japan to China, Indochina, Siam, and Korea. Moreover, by the second half of the eighteenth century almost all areas of the world saw a sharp decline in the numbers of missionaries and a general flagging of energy. In part, it was a question of non-western nations coming increasingly to identify Christianity with European political and cultural imperialism. But in part the decline was also related to developments occurring within Europe itself: to the increasing rivalries for empire between European nations; to the pope's rejection of Jesuit efforts to adapt Christian rites to non-European cultures; to the broad attacks on the regular clergy by several European regimes, culminating in the suppression of the Society of Jesus; and to a sharp decrease in recruitment among both regular and secular clergies.

SEAT Leon 2.0TFSI Sport 2006 Road Test
The look of the 2006 SEAT Leon is down to Walter d'Silva. He designed the Alfa 156 and 147. Opening the garage doors to one of those is a bit like waking next to the face of a woman so beautiful you forgive her almost anything. Which can be the case with these Alfas.
Walter was tempted away to SEAT, a few months before the launch of the original Leon, but too late to influence its styling. That car's beetleback, Alfasud shape, like the hunched, racy look of the 2nd generation Toledo, had nothing to do with d'Silva.
The first SEAT to bear his touch was the Ibiza launched in 2002. Then we started to get tantalising glimpses of a new generation of d'Silva SEATs, showcased by the Salsa concept car in 2002.
That first morphed into the Altea MPV and I wondered what had happened to it. Then the disappointing, lardy-arsed 5-door Toledo that looked like the taxi it has become all over Iberia. We had to wait until last year for the car the Salsa was the true precursor of. And I forced myself to hang on until the 2.0TFSI before driving it, because I didn't want to be disappointed.
There's a good reason for that. In 2002 I auction-bought a 28,000 mile, 2000X lipstick pink metallic Leon 20VT 180 Sport, for just £7,750. I took a chance, but it turned out to be a brilliant buy and an excellent car. I had to let it go after 11 months and nearly got my money back after an excellent year's motoring during which it showed up most of the cars I road-tested, including the Golf IV GTI 180. So I really wanted to drive the new Leon that would be its natural successor. In a few months time there will be an FR 200PS version for another grand or two. And late in the year a red hot 240PS Cupra. But in the meantime the 2.0TFSI Sport is a bit of a bargain at just £16,020
One thing is for sure: the new Leon is colour sensitive. My test car came in 'Rubi red' metallic, not very different from my old 20VT Sport. And while it looks wonderful from some angles, it doesn't work so well from others. The high slab sides and low roof are supposed to elongate it, but from the rear three quarters it can look a bit dumpy. It shares d'Silva's trademark hidden rear door latches. It doesn't quite have the bigness of screen and shortness of body of the Salsa. Yet its looks work best from the front, front three quarters and side. Well enough to raise a smile of satisfaction when you open those garage doors. You can congratulate yourself for saving £4,000 on a Golf GTI for almost the same car in a sharper suit. And with d'Silva's unique tuckaway wipers that park themselves vertically in the A pillars.
It's surprisingly spacious inside. Plenty of head and legroom, even for piggy in the middle in the back. The minimalist dash is like a cliff-face of grey plastic, for the good reason it does not reflect in the huge front screen. The neat little A pillar windows actually work and prevent blindspots at the front when emerging from junctions. The engine pulls smoothly and strongly to 100 with no trace of turbo lag, just like a Golf GTI 2.0T.
The gearchange and cornering grip are good too. But if I owned one I'd whip it straight into a VAG dealer and have the steering weight re-set heavier via the OBDII port. As mine came, it was too light and feel-free but all current VAG electro hydraulic steering can be re-set by the garage to six different levels of assistance.
Despite the feel free steering the car doesn't disappoint in the corners. It can be pushed really hard before it starts to understeer, and tells you exactly when that is about to happen. Even on 17" alloys with 225/45 tyres ride quality is okay. The seats are comfortable. The engine is wonderfully flexible and with 25mph per 1,000 rpm in 6th you can leave it on cruise through the roadworks.
The cruise works better than in most other cars because the buttons are on the indicator stalk and respond quickly so you can easily slow on the cruise from 70 to 50. It resets quickly too.
You get lots of kit too. Dual front climate control, electric folding mirrors, fogs, CD radio, trip computer, leather steering wheel cover, airbags all over the place. The only thing I missed was satnav.
Over 229 miles I got at least 31mpg, maybe more.
So it gets a fairly enthusiastic nod. It's quick, flexible, economical and practical and good looking. Like the old model, I could live with one for a year.

Nuts 4 Nats
Went to see the National's play again last night (and have tickets for tonight as well but not sure If I can make it). It was another fine performance - of course, the national league leading Nationals did have an advantage over the pansy American League Blue Jays - their pitchers can hit.
Case in point: Not only did Esteban Loaiza pitch 6 shut out innings, his 2nd inning 2 run boomer of a double drove in the winning runs. The Blue Jay's pitcher on the other hand could barely swing and is hitting a pathetic .000 for the season.
I grew up on the New York Yankees (Reggie Jackson, Gregg Nettles, Chris Chambliss, Goose Gosage, Catfish Hunter, Ron Guidry, etc. are the heros of my youth) and American League ball, but now I see why my father gets so made about the DH. It just sucks. If your pitchers gonna play, make him play.
I went to the game, btw, with my father in law. It was armed forces night and they not only had the Army's drill team (tossing Springfield around in the air (with the bayonette attached) and parachuters, but they sung the Army Chorus sung the National Anthem while the Old Guard held the colors and had 10 new recruits sworn into the Army.
Oh yeah, President Bush and Condi where there too.
I actually had no idea until this morning when I read it in the papers. They didn't magnometer us (good thing too cause while I don't carry in DC some people do) or otherwise announce it and we can't see over where his box is from out seats behind home plate.
Oh yeah, Dave Matthews and his drummer Carter Beauford (and a couple of their friends and some body guards) were sitting two rows in front of us. I don't think anyone there noticed it was Dave Matthews and I wouldn't have except I recognized Carter.

Running Time: 11 min 5 seconds
A man and his daughter bond over something sinister and the only witness to their crime is an out of luck beggar.
Am well acquainted with Bollywood cinema and the stylized Horror themes from this market. Beliefs and conventions often limit interpretations of Horror content. The majority of themes in this genre center on the supernatural, but with limitations. The usual case revolves on a revenge aspect but it is rare to see western influences such as exorcisms. Actually, one film did release this year that was herald as genre defining for its use of exorcism thematics.
Nevertheless, Bollywood's take on scare factor are a must watch for enthusiasts of Horror. That leads us to the topic of this article, Rahul Nath's Monster.
Monsters develop as a slow boiler. It is challenging to elicit conclusions within the immediate stanza. As the film progresses we are witness to an uncanny relationship between a father and his daughter. The pair is vicious, or are they. As a spectator, I couldn't help but reflect on the underlying theme to this film. Love serves as the catalyst to doing evil actions. I relished the deep layer of attachment between the two characters. Conveying this detail made each "monster" human despite the mysterious path they walk on.
To start, the cinematography work includes a compelling implementation and refined craftsmanship. From my experience, some Bollywood films I've seen were heavy in poor CGI. Director Rahul Nath avoids all those visual eye candies and instead concerns himself with visual storytelling. The lighting turned the environment into an area of despair. Set against the backdrop of a storage area, Nath sets the proper angles to reinforce dread and solitary. This area develops into a park, a kill site, and an exclusive dining space.
Another facet of this production am most impressed with is the acting. Amit Sial and Sara Patkar had an onscreen chemistry that can only fit as heartfelt. Nath is clever into cementing this father and daughter bond. Audiences will see a nice shot framing these two characters. Seconds before the end credits roll solemn music begin to play, that was a nice accent.
On accents, Monster has subtitles, this despite the conversation being often in English. It was nice to have that extra feature for those in the audience that may not have followed each performer's accent.
Monster has originality written all of the production. The revelation in Act III was unsuspecting. Monster is a clever interpretation from script to screen. As shown, Nath delivers the narrative at a casual pace. The story lacked information on the martyr. I feel that feature merited further explanation.
In Conclusion
Monster is a clever horror short that explores love and an indivisible bond between father and daughter. The narrative is a twister outlook on good parenting. The acting felt cohesive and persuasive. Although the narrative served not into one role, the audience has enough to connect with the principal roles.

Innovation, Evolution and Economic Change
New Ideas in the Tradition of Galbraith
Edited by Blandine Laperche, James K. Galbraith and Dimitri Uzunidis
Chapter 1: Professionals' Capitalism and Democracy
Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira
Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira 1. INTRODUCTION The twentieth century will be known in the future for many major changes: it was the century of technological progress, the century of organizations rather than of family units of production and the century in which the number of bureaucrats increased so much as to merit being identified as social class – the professional middle class. In connection with these changes, it was the century when knowledge eventually became the decisive factor of production, and the control of technological, organizational, and communicative knowledge turned strategic. Yet it was also the century of democracy, which represents a check to this new power, while at the same time it is conditioned by it. While changes occurred in the social and political spheres, economies experienced enormous growth and became much more complex. In this process, markets assumed a major role in coordinating economies – by allocating factors of production employed by business enterprises – but, obviously, the coordination of the whole system surpassed by far, their possibilities. At the macro political level, the role of the state and of the institutional or legal system which it creates and enforces increased enormously. At the level of civil society (of politically organized society), corporative organizations, and, after that, social accountability organizations increased in number and influence, acting as control mechanisms of governments. Concurrently, at the economic realm, large business corporations, and all other types of large organizations, became dominant everywhere. Firms required entrepreneurs, organizations demanded managers or professionals covering an increasing larger spectrum...

I searched around and found many antivirus programs, many that claim to be free. I downloaded a few of the more reputable ones, but found that they are not really free! Some ask for a payment straight-up or allow you to scan for malware but have to pay to clean out the virus. From scanning, now at least I am certain that my hard drive is infected. But they're ridiculously expensive, I can't afford that. There's got to be a way to remove a virus without antivirus software.
Before purchasing antivirus software, first use the following two methods to remove the virus from your computer, laptop, external hard drive, pen drive or USB stick.
Method 1: Remove virus antivirus using cmd
- Click on Start and select Command Prompt (Admin).
Sign in with your Administrator account and password if the system asks.
- Type: D: and hit Enter. (Replace D: with the drive letter where the virus files exist.)
- Enter: attrib
- Enter: attrib -h -r -s /s /d D:\*.* (again, replace D: with the appropriate drive letter)
- Enter: del autorun.inf If other virus file types exist on your computer, replace autorun.inf with extensions such as *.ink, *.exe, or *.vbm to delete those suspicious files respectively.
Method 2: Block the Virus from the Task Manager
- Hold down the CTRL, ALT and DEL buttons simultaneously this will launch the Windows Task Manager. Once the Task Manager launched, click on the Processes tab. Look through every single process, which is a program that is currently processing information on your computer. If you see anything that looks unfamiliar, search the file name on the web and see if it's connected with any viruses. If you're confident that a particular file is corrupt, click the End Process button for this file.
- Launch your System Configuration utility and click the Startup tab. This lists all the programs that automatically run once your computer is booted. Most viruses launch themselves whenever you load up your OS, so again, look for any odd or unknown programs on this list. If you see a program with a surefire red flag, delete it from this list.
- Click the Start>Computer menu and go to your hard drive utility. Delete the viral files directly from your hard drive. This may or may not delete the virus in its entirety but you can also go to the location of viral files directly from task manager.

Ever since she returned to our television screens a few years ago the infamous Mama June has been undergoing a dramatic transformation.
The master chef behind such culinary delights as 'Sketti', a mixture of butter, ketchup and noodles, lost 300lbs through a mixture of surgeries and dieting.
In a journey documented on the show – sigh – Mama June: From Not to Hot, June lost weight and got a boob lift following an invite to her former lover Sugar Bear's wedding.
Speaking to ET at the time about her weight loss Mama June revealed that her change in appearance was so dramatic that her daughters struggled to recognise her.
She said:
I think [Honey Boo Boo and Pumpkin] weren't expecting this much weight to come off, and to look this different. I mean, that's the thing. 'Damn, she looks different.' And if I didn't talk, you wouldn't know who I was.
In fact, the 37-year-old is so happy with how she looks now that she's following in her daughter's footsteps and entering the competitive world of pageants.
Despite this renewed confidence, June still struggles with her self-esteem admitting that she may not be cut out for the fiercely competitive world of adult pageants.
In a trailer for the second season of her show she admitted:
I'm sorry y'all, I can't walk in heels, I've been always on the other side of the pageant world … I don't have any talent.
That said it's not stopped her posing in lingerie and anyone who's watched June's previous show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo knows that the Shannon family matriarch has never been shy.
I think we can all agree that June looks completely different!
June said she was really happy with the results of the shoot, explaining the pictures had proven her dedication to her family and that she felt she could be a full-time model.
And while some may say that the only reason Mama June's been able to lose all this weight is that network was willing to pay for her surgeries they shouldn't discount the hard work she's put in.
Speaking to Dr Mehmet Oz better known Dr Oz on his TV show, and reported by Metro, Mama June revealed that while people may think that surgery is a shortcut to easy weight loss it's actually quite difficult.
She said:
It's a daily struggle. I've had the gastric sleeve. I've had the skin removal surgery. But who would think, "Oh, that's just a fix," you know what I'm saying.
Trust me, it's work. You have to work put the work into it, because if you don't, there's no sense in spending the money and having the stuff done.
Good on her for losing the weight, it can't have been easy!
If you have a story you want to tell send it to UNILAD via [email protected]

Giant panda
The giant panda, or panda bear, is a large black and white mammal native to central-western and southwestern China, today classified as a member of the bear family (Ursidae)[1], though its unusual unbearlike features and habits for a long period consigned it to its own family (the Ailuridae).
The giant panda has a diet which is 98% bamboo, with other foods including fish, honey and yams. The giant panda is an endangered animal, with an estimated 3,000 pandas alive in the wild, though intensive conservation efforts have been made by the Chinese.
Evolutionists such as Stephen Jay Gould have tried to claim that the panda's thumb, which is a modified seamoid bone, is evidence of evolution. Gould claimed that an actual Intelligent Designer would have made the panda's thumb the same as the human thumb. But all this shows is variation, not evolution, possibly occurring in the panda. This argument also assumes that the Designer would want to design the panda the same way He designed the human. This assumption depends on revelation or hubristic assumptions about the nature of God.[2]
The World Wide Fund for Nature uses a giant panda as its logo, and the animal has been an enduring symbol for wildlife conservation for over 40 years.

Typeform Data Breach Affected More Than Just Millions of Sneakersnstuff Users' Data
Just days after adidas US announced a huge data breach, international retailer Sneakersnstuff — one of the most popular sneaker boutiques in the world — informed its customers of a breach that compromised names, emails, addresses, and more.
Today, Sneakernstuff customers received an email alerting them that their data had been accessed by an external attacker. The retailer was using Typeform — a Barcelona-based online survey and form building service — to collect sensitive customer data for raffles. According to the email, the "typeforms" affected include SNS's Daniel Arsham New York and Tom Sachs x NikeCraft Mars Yard.
The compromised data — name, email address, delivery address, and shoe size — had been deleted, and SNS stopped using Typeform in September of 2017, according to the retailer. However, Typeform reports that the attacker managed to get unauthorized access to backup customer data and downloaded parts of it.
According to Bleeping Computer, the backup file contained data gathered from Typeform customers through surveys and online forms up until May 3, 2018. Typeform passwords and user payment card information was not included in the backup file that the attacker(s) took from Typeform's servers. The company made a formal announcement late Friday night, two days after the initial breach on Wednesday, June 27 at 14:00 CET when it secured the affected server 30 minutes later.
However, one of Typeform's customers, payment provider Monzo, revealed that data for about 20,000 users who filled out surveys on its site had been exposed, according to Bleeping Computer. And while Sneakersnstuff regularly sees traffic of 5,000,000+ users for a hyped release, Typeform collects data for some of the largest names in the tech industry; according to Wikipedia, it has worked with Apple, Uber, Airbnb, and Nike, and the company's website lists Trello, HubSpot, Indiegogo, Forbes, and Freshdesk.
This latest data breach comes after a Ticketmaster breach early in the week. Then, on Thursday, adidas US announced its own massive data breach that affected the personal data of millions of customers.
You can read the entire Sneakersnstuff email alert below.
We just received a message at 2018-06-29 17:56 GMT+02:00 that a 3rd party service we historically used to collect data for raffles "Typeform" (www.typeform.com) had a data breach, which affected the following typeforms we sent out:
Daniel Arsham New York;
Tom Sachs x NikeCraft Mars Yard
The data compromised was:
– Name
– Email address
– Delivery address
– Shoe size
Although we had deleted the data, Typeform reports that an external attacker managed to get unauthorized access to backup respondent data and downloaded parts of it.
Typeform responded immediately and fixed the source of the breach to prevent any further intrusion.
We stopped using Typeform in September 2017 and no longer use this service in any capacity.
In case your information was downloaded by the attacker, we recommend that you watch out for potential phishing scams, or spam emails.

We take protection of your data and privacy seriously and regret this matter occurred.

OUT CAME the big golden bell and Andrew Holness shook it vigorously.
The thousands of Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) supporters who had crammed into the National Arena and had overflowed on the outside had one message for their leader.
"Call it Andrew, call it!" they shouted, even as their voices struggled to compete with the blaring vuvuzelas and ringing bells.
But the prime minister and party leader did not oblige.
"It is just a short time. I am not going to call it today," Holness said.
"But from what the public has seen here today, the public knows that we are ready."
He added: "You are now on your marks, the next time you see me at a mass meeting it will be get set ... . And yuh notice I start to get fit like Usain Bolt because it is going to be a sprint to the finish line."
The 39-year-old Holness, who was earlier elected unopposed to replace Bruce Golding as leader of the JLP, used the tail end of an otherwise dull presentation teasing Labourites that he would name the election date.
"I am not keeping too much suspense on the election ... . I don't want anybody to say that we caught them by surprise."
And with a chorus of "We ready! We ready!" from a sea of green in the jam-packed arena, he grabbed a golden bell and shook vigorously.
"The uncertainties can't follow us into the new year. We have to resolve those uncertainties this year," Holness told them.
"This election is about the people of Jamaica deciding that the pathway that we have already been, of economic stability setting the stage for growth, that we will continue on that pathway of growth and prosperity," the JLP leader said.
Holness, whose inaugural address as prime minister lasted one hour, said he would not be speaking for long, noting he had been criticised for the length of his inagural speech.
"I don't want to be criticised for giving long speeches again," Holness said.
Nonetheless, he spent more than an hour delivering his presentation, the first 45 of which was met with little applause.
He focused his presentation on four statements made by members of the People's National Party when that party was in government, saying he intends to have those comments relegated to the bins of history.
The statements criticised by Holness were Dr Omar Davies' "run with it", Dr Peter Philllips' comment that "those who plays by the rules are those who get shafted", and former Prime Minister P.J. Patterson's "the law is not a shackle" as well as his claim that politics is "the fight for scarce benefits and political spoils carried on by hostile tribes which seem to be perpetually at war".
"Politics in Jamaica for far too long has been about distribution; who gets what, how, where and when," Holness declared. "We have not had a serious discussion in this country about increasing the size of the national pudding."
The prime minister said Jamaicans must be made to recognise that hard work is the road to success.
"We must reinforce the long-held value, 'By the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread'," Holness said.
Pointing to the need to stimulate the economy, the prime minister said Jamaicans must recognise that those who play by the rules are the ones that get ahead.
"To get jobs, we have to get rid of the hoodlums who are extorting away the businesses from those communities," he argued.
Holness said the country would have to seriously reform the tax system to ensure that everyone paid their fair share.

Last week, CFB staff writer Robb Engen entertained and enlightened us all with a post on retirement, and specifically how young people should focus on making good financial decisions rather than spending all their time thinking about retirement. This is a good article that's worth a few minutes of your time if you haven't already read it. Oh, you have? Fine then, moving on.
Robb makes some assumptions in his post about future stock market returns. I'll let him explain further:
Investment returns are expected to be lower in the long term. No longer do we see projections of 12-15% returns.
He goes on to predict a 6% return will be the norm going forward.
I'm curious as to why this is. Robb is echoing (ha, see what I did there?) the sentiment of many different investment professionals. The Euro zone is crumbling! Greece is a mess! The United States is printing money like crazy! Commodity prices are close to record highs! The world is ending! I'm running out of exclamation points! No wonder most of the investment community is calling for lower returns going forward. The future doesn't exactly look rosy, that's for sure.
Before we get too excited about all this, let's take a look at S&P 500 performance over a few selected periods of time, data taken from Money Chimp:
I'm sure some of the more astute readers can figure out why I picked the dates I did. The dates I picked are the years of some of the greatest economic disasters of the past 100 years. Stock markets famously crashed in both the 1929 stock market crash and then again in 1987. The American economy suffered from high unemployment and a crippling national debt after World War 2. (Sound familiar?) Inflation was a horrible problem in the early 1980s. The point is, the market has always found a way to bounce back from adversity. Why wouldn't it do it again?
Yes, I realize the American economy has all sorts of problems right now. Their deficit is out of control and needs to be reigned in. That much is obvious. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they find a way to get things under control. The crisis will be averted, just like every other crisis in history. The sun will rise again and the economy will keep chugging along.
We are in a small window of history. Just like the crazy bullish people of the late 1990s, I think the average investor is letting pessimism cloud their judgment a little. The financial crisis is still fresh in everybody's mind. The American economy continues to suffer setbacks impeding recovery. It's not a rosy picture out there, and I'm as guilty as anyone in being a little bearish. Stock market investors are generally not very good at looking at the long term.
The stock market is said to be a leading indicator. If you look at previous recessions, the stock market typically starts to go up a few months before the recession is over. The market looks at improving economic news and likes it, hence the increase in value. The stock market will also decline before a recession is official. The market is quite good at predicting what'll happen in the short term. It's really bad at predicting what'll happen in the long term.
Predicting long term economic trends is hard. Who knows what new technology will even come out in the next decade, let alone the next half century. All I know is that it's coming, it will be awesome, and that I will spend money on it. It's okay though, because I'll keep getting returns in the 8-10% range without even trying, thanks to broad market equity ETFs.
Looking back at our table, I'd like to focus on one period of time, from 1987 to 2008. In between those two years we had a massive stock market crash, (October 1987) a savings and loan crisis, (late 1980s-early 1990s) a subsequent recession, (1990-91) a large sell-off in real estate, (early to mid 1990s in both Canada and U.S.) a huge tech bubble, that said bubble bursting, 9-11, the bursting of the U.S. real estate bubble, and perhaps the worst credit crisis in history. A lot of stuff happened. Most of it was bad for investors.
Buying at the beginning of 1987 and selling at the end of 2008 means an investor bought high and sold low. And yet the market still returned over 8%. The market has done it for the last 100 years. I'm confident it'll do it again. I'm willing to admit I don't know squat, but I do know that.

The tiny country of Wales packs in an abundance of treasures in an area smaller than Massachusetts. The country is alive with myths and legends, rugged mountain paths and beautiful beaches. Wales is a hiker's paradise where castles are an inescapable part of the landscape. Head out with a local guide to explore a sheep-dotted landscape bordered on three sides by rugged and windswept coastlines.
The capital city of Cardiff is located in the south of Wales and plays host to a sea of red jerseys when their national team play rugby - almost a national religion - at the impressive Principality Stadium.
Play golf at the prestigious Celtic Manor, host to the 2010 Ryder Cup, or explore the traditional mining towns and valleys which fuelled the industrial revolution.
North Wales is mainly covered by Snowdonia National Park and highlights include the beautiful Bodnant Garden, quaint Victorian seaside resort Llandudno and the UNESCO Heritage Sites of Conwy and Caernarfon Castle. Hike up Snowdon or head to Portmadog on the steam train and enjoy the variety of antique and bookshops on offer.

Indianapolis one-hundred and twenty-five years ago was almost an unknown region where solitude reigned supreme. We who see it today as one of the world's finest cities find it hard to picture the infant capital consisting of four or five cabins and spread over a distance of perhaps two miles.
