Crime Prevention Ottawa's Board member Dr. Irvin Waller often sends out emails about interesting things – this one particularly caught my eye.
So, I draw your attention to a great evaluation of a program in Chicago that works, here I am quoting Dr. Waller:
Mentoring and Social Skills training in schools show initial violence prevention success
A recent randomized clinical trial, the largest ever conducted with an urban youth population (nearly 2,500 adolescent boys in 18 schools in Chicago), carried out by the University of Chicago Crime Lab in partnership with Youth Guidance, World Sport Chicago and the Chicago Public Schools showed that an intervention called Becoming a Man-Sports Edition ("BAM"):
- strengthened social-cognitive skills and generated massive declines in violent crimes by at-risk youth (over 40 percent) during the program year, though the impact faded the following year
- Increased the degree to which youth were engaged in school, as measured by school attendance and class credits earned, an impact that lasted through the program year and the year following
Return on investment exceeds three times the modest cost.

Richie's boyfriend, rocker Joel Madden, is the other proud dad.No other details were available as WENN went to press, although Aguilera and Bratman are believed to be considering the names Jackson Jake and Max for their son.

DEAR BENNY: With mortgage loan rates at record lows, I'm thinking of refinancing my 30-year fixed-rate loan. The lender is recommending that I roll into the refi amount the balances I owe on my car and two credit cards. The advantages would be that they'd be "paid off," the interest rate on the amounts would be lower than I'm currently paying on any of them, and the interest paid would be tax-deductible.
But I see a big disadvantage, too. The total of the amounts on those five-year (on which I still have three years to pay) and revolving loans would now be amortized over 30 years! Does it make sense to do that? How can I figure out if it's a smart move or not? –Janet

Oxford Tier Tournament – Saturday 9th April
Both myself and Tyler are off down the M40 on Saturday to Oxford, for the Oxford Gaming Club's Warmachine and Hordes Tier Tournament. We will probably be leaving home around seven in the morning and hoping to be at the venue for eight thirty with the first game starting at nine thirty. I am taking a Tier Two Hierarch Severuius list and Tyler a Tier Three Butcher list.
Up until now I have had eight games with my tournament list and Severius and have only won a single game. But hoping to get a few more games in over a couple of evenings this week.
This will be our fourth Warmachine and Hordes tournament and up until now we have both managed to avoid last place, which is something I hope will continue. Its also my first Warmachine and Hordes tournament with a fully painted army, so maybe I will be in with a shout of Best Painted!!

Honest and Affordable Includes roof vent... don't be fooled!
Home Adviser Review
You probably know to clean your dryer's lint filter. But did you know that your dryer's vent system also need cleaning?Lint builds up in the dryer's vent over time, causing the dryer to overheat. And the lint is so combustible that is can easily catch fire.
So, how do you know your dryer vent needs cleaning? Look for these signs.
You'll know your clothes dryer vent needs cleaning if your clothes are not dry at the end of a normal cycle. Here's why: The dryer vent is designed to push our hot, moist air so your dryer can pull in more dry air to continue the drying process. But if the dryer vent is clogged with lint, that moist air stays in the dryer, making it hard for your clothes to dry off. This not only causes the dryer to overheat, but it also:
That burning smell when you run your dryer? It's probably dryer lint which is very flammable.If you smell a burning odor, stop using your dryer immediately and have it inspected ASAP.
When the vent does not exhaust air properly, your dryer will feel very hot to the touch at the end of a normal cycle.
The outside vent opening is where the air from your dryer exits into the world. If you see lint around the opening, chances are, the vent system needs cleaning.
You should have your dryer vent inspected and cleaned annually.

I wish I'd taken a picture of this salad for you. Honestly, I had no idea it would be that good though!!
If you want to treat yourself to a quick, easy lunch, that the whole family will love, here's what you need:
1/2 block of organic tofu, in small pieces
1/2 cup quinoa
1 cup greens, chopped
1/2 cucumber, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/2 red pepper, chopped
Lemon Garlic Salad dressing (I used Farm Boy brand this time – any organic brand will do)
Soak the quinoa for 2 hours. Drain and cook in vegetable stock according to directions
Cook the tofu in coconut oil with some of the lemon garlic dressing and some Bragg's sauce. We like our tofu well done – kind of crunchy on the outside.
Chop your veggies and set aside. Once the quinoa is cooked, allow it to cool for a bit and then mix everything together with about 1/8 cup of the dressing.
SO Darned GOOD!!!!

4 Books that Shaped Me in 2016
4 Books that Shaped Me in 2016
In 2016 I wanted to consume writing that mattered.
Books are a powerful means of engaging with different voices, new ideas, and ways of being. Between writing a PhD and learning how to be a social change-maker, I read 25 books.
In my down-time I learned about science with Cosmos, philosophy with New Philosopher, and read conversations with extraordinary humans in Dumbo Feather. I cried while listening to The Moth and was angered when I listened to this episode of This American Life.
While the books I read helped me learn, most of all they were my hideaway that kept me floating above the stress and strain of 2016. Below are the books I couldn't wait to open. They made me think and inspired me to live.
"Everybody's looking for their tiny piece of meaning. Some fleeting, perfect thing that might make them more alive."― Kate Tempest
You can tell that Tempest is a poet in the first few pages of the book. Her metaphors and similes are fresh and perfectly relay the dreary world her characters live in. The plot follows two young women trying to make a life – whatever the cost. The writing is captivating and raw, and leaves you thinking about the book for weeks after.
"Tomorrow and plans for tomorrow can have no significance at all unless you are in full contact with the reality of the present, since it is in the present and only in the present that you live. There is no other reality than present reality, so that, even if one were to live for endless ages, to live for the future would be to miss the point everlastingly."― Alan Watts
I was introduced to Watts a few years ago but never paid proper attention. I'm glad I did this year. Watts is a self-described "philosophical entertainer" and he lives up to this description well – capturing the essence of Zen Buddhism and other religions, and then imparting their wisdom in an accessible way. This book helped make sense of my disconnected thoughts and offered a refreshing way of thinking.
History has many themes… One of them is that women should be quiet.― Kathleen Hall Jamieson.
On a promotional tour for another book, Moss received a high volume of questions from women on how to speak confidently and safely. This book is her response to those questions. In a world where male voices exceed women's in the media and in parliament, Moss' book provides apt instruction on how to be heard effectively, including tips for preparation, formulation of strong arguments, negotiation of pay, and how to respond to critics – especially when violent language is used.
Speaking Out was one of the many books I read on women and gender in 2016 and was the most helpful with respect to practical means of being a strong female leader in the 21st century.
The Man in the High Castle – Philip K Dick
"Can anyone alter fate? All of us combined… or one great figure… or someone strategically placed, who happens to be in the right spot. Chance. Accident. And our lives, our world, hanging on it."
I'm a long time fan of Dick, who I consider both a science-fiction writer and philosopher. I first read A Scanner Darkly at age 16 and have been making my way through his writings since. The Man in the High Castle gives insight to an alternative world where the United States lost World War II. In Dick's style, it's educational and philosophical with enough science-fiction elements to keep readers on their toes. It's no wonder this book ranks highly in lists of the greatest science-fiction works of all time.

An American computer industry worker has joined the millionaire club after she won a variety of jackpots totaling $1.97 million within a week's time at Jackpot Capital.
The winner is a woman living on the East Coast who made a small deposit and hit two jackpots soon after. The first win netted her $630,000 on the Vulcan slot and then followed it up with a nice $12,000 hit on Builder Beaver. By the end of the week she had racked up nearly $2 million in wins.
Commenting on her incredible streak of luck, the winner said, "I typically play Builder Beaver, Achilles and Spirit of the Inca, and sprinkle in some video poker. I had played Vulcan a few times with not much luck even though I really like the game. But this time big surprise – now I love it!"
"When I saw that I'd won over $600,000 on that one spin I literally said out loud 'No way!' Looking at the screen in disbelief, I actually felt sick for a brief second, to be honest. I just walked around going OMG there is no way that just happened!"
"Then I started thinking about the fact that I could pay off everything, help others I want to help, and buy literally anything I need. I have some specific people I want to help, including my parents and a few close friends. I am thrilled to be able to do that."
"I've played at Jackpot Capital for a couple of years now. I'm a Platinum VIP member. I kept telling my friend 'One day I'm going to do it!"
"I had no luck for the longest time, and this time I won with a $40 starter deposit."
The lucky winner said she plans on using her winnings to help friends and family, renovate her home, pay down debt, and invest wisely.

My head weaves
with currents,
of air and timing,
with movements of the
drum and soul brushed beats.
These hands have touched,
and learned as beat,
moments in key,
that solo within
the wind.
With eyes still closed,
I trace the smooth;
the glaze that moves
my hair.
I exhale the moment
for the song of reason,
and keep in motion,
the timing of currents
in the mind of beat.
Raison d'etre;
while dreaming song
and swept among;
the currents.

Just reward: A 2017 comeback story for the ages
State lawmakers would be wise to re-examine the barriers to second chances and first careers throughout the state.
Lisa Creason's life changed overnight.
After working as a certified nursing assistant in Decatur for more than a decade, on Oct. 9, 2017, she walked into work as a registered nurse.
It was more than just a title change – more than a pay raise, too. That day, a hard-fought education, a crushing loss, a legislative battle spanning two years and a shot at redemption all paid off.
Creason's dream had come true.
Her comeback story starts in the same place it ended, Decatur. More than 20 years ago as a teenage single mother, Creason stole money from a sandwich shop cash register in order to feed her daughter. She spent one year in prison as a result.
But she never could have imagined the scarlet letter that crime would become.
Creason fought to rebuild her life over the next two decades. She started a nonprofit to combat violence in her community. She raised three children despite the death of her fiancé. She went back to school, and received a waiver from the state to work as a certified nursing assistant.
But she wanted more. Her earnings weren't enough for Creason to be completely independent, and she desperately needed to move her family to a safer part of town. She returned to school again to begin the process of becoming a registered nurse.
"I just want to go to work as a nurse, take care of my kids and get off of government assistance," Creason said at the time. "That's it."
After countless hours of work – whether buried in books on the bleachers at her son's football games or burning the midnight oil with an early-morning shift the next day – Creason graduated with an associate degree in applied science in nursing from Richland Community College.
She called her mom in tears.
"I will never forget coming home from the school and calling my mom and telling her I passed the final. I'm done," Creason said.
But that wasn't enough for the state. Despite her graduation, Creason was denied access to the test she needed to become a registered nurse due to the crime she committed decades earlier. She was crushed. But she fought back.
Against all odds, she succeeded.
After passing the General Assembly and receiving Gov. Bruce Rauner's signature, SB 42 took effect January 2017.
Free to take the test she needed, Creason hit the books yet again in preparation for the final chapter of her journey. She passed. Creason is now a registered nurse in the state of Illinois.
That brings us to 2018.
Illinois still puts up too many barriers for ex-offenders seeking work, driving up the odds of recidivism and costing taxpayers millions as a result. And even for those who haven't served a sentence, occupational licensing laws can be far too costly for Illinoisans trying to climb the economic ladder.
A November 2017 report from the Institute for Justice showed Illinois imposes particularly harsh restrictions on a number of seemingly arbitrary occupations.
Sign language interpreters in Illinois are required to pay a $900 fee, complete over four years of education, and pass two exams to obtain a license despite the fact that 29 states don't license the profession at all. A cosmetologist must complete 350 days of educational training to practice in Illinois, but an EMT can be licensed after just 37.
Few individuals possess Creason's resilience. Most would have just given up. That's a problem, especially in a state with meager jobs growth and where too many find it in their best interest to leave for greener pastures.
State lawmakers would be wise to re-examine the barriers to second chances and first careers throughout the state.

Well, its been about a week now since Kit and I broke up and I think I'm coping with it pretty well. Sure, I'm still a bit rough around the edges and thinking about still gets me a bit teary-eyed but I can control it now. I try not to think about it and I'm getting better at it. But there are times when I lie in bed and embrace my pillow and still say her name. I still want her but not as much as I used to. Maybe after the previous pains and frustrations I've gone through I'm getting numb to it all. Well, I hope not. I wouldn't want to be an insensitive, stone-hearted guy after all this is done.
So what have I been up to these past few days? Almost next to nothing. I haven't read or tried anything new. Hey, its the Holy Week, what do you expect? We didn't go out of town this year and I haven't had anyone to have any real conversation. If Kitkat were at home, we'd probably have been talking at almost every opportunity. Alas, she's in Batangas. I called her up last Wednesday night and we talked for quite a while and got some stuff cleared up. Some things still aren't as clear-cut but hey, they weren't that way from the start. There's this saying that goes "If it ain't broken, don't fix it." Well, the problem here is I'm wondering if its broken or not. By default I'd assume that they aren't so I'll leave things as they are. No point in bringing up what isn't important, right?
This whole "breaking-up" thing has left me emotionally drained. I'll probably need a break from Kitkat and females, in general, for a while. I don't know why but this experience is a bit easier than the one I had two summers ago when I was pining for Roni. Maybe I learned from the past, maybe I didn't have much as much emotional strength to lose this time because I lost it all before, maybe it was because of the different circumstances. I don't know. However, a little thought keeps creeping into my consciousness taunting me: maybe you never cared about her in the first place. Now that bugs me.
Kitkat is scheduled to go back home today and I don't know if she's there already. Why am I bringing this up? For your information, I'm concerned about her. Yeah, I still am. I mean, take away all that love and affection stuff and deep down, we're still friends.
Okay, I just called her-or should I say tried to call her. What do I mean? Well, the phone line is busy. Well, I guess I'm not the first on her list of people to call when she got back. I mean, a simple text would do fine. But no, not one peep out of her. You know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking that she doesn't care about me anymore. I'm thinking that maybe I shouldn't care about her either. Commitment is such an overrated thing, you know. It's so hard to find someone who'll be as committed to you during the good times as they are during the bad days. Damn. And by the way, life fucking sucks!
Tomorrow is registration day for all the students required to take summer. I'm part of that group of students and I've also become involved with RegCom, the student organization that handles registration for the rest of the Ateneo. Its going to be one heck of another long day ahead tomorrow. I wake up at around 4:30-5:00, do my stuff, leave the house at 5:30 and get to school by 6. Then the whole day is spent with RegCom, doing menial jobs and other dirty work until around 6pm. Fuck I'm beginning to hate this. In fact, my mom has been nagging be these past few days about it. Damn, I hate how things are going right now. And you know how all this gets worse? I have to go through all that tomorrow and on Tuesday.

. The woman of Freeman may be placed in traditional or non-traditional settings they maybe married or unmarried, they may be dressed in shawls and aprons they may be caring for families or for animals but these woman do not conceal their individual identities. Their actions "indicate self-empowerment, which reaffirms their identity" (Daniel 5). In contrast, Nathaniel Hawthorne portrays his female characters as vulnerable people who cannot stand on their own. These women are wives, daughters, and mothers; however they have identities because of the men to whom they remain attached. These women are ready to obey every command and fulfill every desire that the males impose, upon them. They

ability as an editor to recognize great literature and to dismiss insignificant works. Poe was the first major, or influential, writer to recognize the genius of Nathaniel Hawthorne. In his review of Hawthorne's Twice-Told Tales, Poe says that "Mr. Hawthorne is scarcely recognized by the press or by the public . . . yet . . . he evinces extraordinary genius, having no rival either in America or elsewhere." This critical recognition of Hawthorne, therefore, attests to Poe's keen critical faculties; few critics have made such wholly accurate summations about a writer's talent which subsequent generations of critics have verified. In Poe's review of Twice-Told Tales and in his two main essays

. American literature fully captures what it means to be an American through the ages, and, as an American, all of an American's duty to know where they came from and how they got to where they are today. American Literature provides a great number of well-written works, but this discussion is going to be between, "The Most Dangerous Game" written by Richard E. Connell and "Young Goodman Brown" authored by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In two of the most well-known short stories, "The Most Dangerous Game" and "Young Goodman Brown", there are ironic similarities portraying evil between their settings, characterization, and plot.

, and George Eliot. On the American side was the unlikely company of Longfellow, Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Emerson. With a knowledge-bound sentence that suggested she knew more than she revealed, she claimed not to have read Whitman. She read Thomas Carlyle, Charles Darwin, and Matthew Arnold. Her contemporaries gave Dickinson a kind of currency for her own writing, but commanding equal ground were the Bible and Shakespeare. While the authors were here defined by their inaccessibility, the allusions in Dickinson's letters and poems suggest just how vividly she imagined her words in conversation with others. Included in these epistolary conversations were her actual correspondents

Homelessness in America Homelessness in America is a social problem that we are faced with on a daily basis. Despite the vast number of research done by Americans on homelessness, little is still known about the effect that it has on our society.

Unfreeze, Change, Freeze Kurt Lewin proposed a three stage theory of change commonly referred to as Unfreeze, Change, Freeze (or Refreeze). It is possible to take these stages to quite complicated levels but I don't believe this is necessary to be able to work with the theory. But be aware that the theory has been criticised for being too simplistic. A lot has changed since the theory was originally presented in 1947, but the Kurt Lewin model is still extremely relevant. Many other more modern change models are actually based on the Kurt Lewin model.

European Crisis and its effect in the International Market After the Second World War, the world was in search of a new alternative to stop with the horrific wars between nations. In 1950, France, Italy, Germany, Luxemburg, Belgium and Netherlands joined in order to obtain peace, protectionism and economic advantage. It was the foundation of the current European Union. This significant moment in history was followed by a remarkable transformation around the world: the globalisation of the market. Globalization was described by Joseph Stiglitz (2002) as "the removal of barriers to free trade and the closer integration of national economies". This new reality, from local to a global

Young women beware. The single mother phenomenon is escalating at an alarming rate. Why...Why relegate oneself to a concubine, one night stand, mistress, perpetual girlfriend, common law status. Is it for love, loneliness, insecurity? When is it time to say, enough! Back in the day, a woman was courted, her family treated with respect and approached for her hand in marriage. Children were born in wedlock. That was the norm. Not that things were perfect, but there was a strong demarcation line between right and wrong. Wrong for whom one may ask. Who usually loses when a relationship with children involved goes down the drain? Now anything goes. Women place little value on themselves. Men

Value-conscious consumers – consumers like Leslie Wells. Leslie Wells's recent expedition to the new Cub Foods store in Melrose Park, Illinois, was no ordinary trip to the grocery store. "You go crazy," says Wells, sounding a little shell-shocked. Overwhelmed by Cub's vast selection, tables of samples, and discounts as high as 30 percent, Wells spent $76 on groceries - $36 more than she had planned.

Porter's Five Forces Analysis Of Market Structure
265 words - 2 pages
[Porter's Five Forces analysis of market structure The competitive structure of an industry can be analysed using Porter's five forces. This model attempts to analyse the attractiveness of an industry by considering five forces within a market. According to Porter (1980) the likelihood of firms making profits in a given industry depends on five factors: 1. The likelihood of new entry i.e. the extent to which barriers to entry exist. The more difficult it is for other firms to enter a market the more likely it is that existing firms can make relatively high profits. The likelihood of entering a market would be lower if: the entry costs are high e.g. if heavy investment is

Human On the Death Sentence: We Pay What We Done… or Not Introduction For most Americans and around the world, the automobile is an essential part of daily life especially for "every second is money" and hate waiting type of people.

Comparison Of Odysseus And Athena As Liars
744 words - 3 pages
Comparison of Odysseus and Athena as liars Deception, or the act of deceiving or defrauding, is a prominent theme in the Odyssey. Though inherently dishonest, deception can be used to gain information and knowledge. Different characters (and people) use it different ways. This essay will establish that, whereas Odysseus uses deception to help him progress from Nobody back to Odysseus, king of Ithaca, Athena does so to keep her identity secret when she disguises herself. Odysseus ensures his security and protects his identity while deceiving Polyphemus, thus displaying his true cleverness. Odysseus tells Polyphemus that "Nobody is his name," (9,365) he uses this clever deception so the

Why does it seem to be such a major thing for people to just take out the trash? It amazes me that so much contention can arise about such a mundane, essential task. (We have SO MANY instances related to that topic.)
Maybe we could collaborate on a book "In-s and Out-s of Trash Related Trauma" or something.
I am REALLY sorry you had such a lousey awakening this morning. May you find some lovely daffodils or other equally lovely reminder that life can be beautiful under all the rubbish.
Maybe your other family members can remember the same and come to appreciate each other and working together in a spirit of love and understanding. Harmony = happiness. Yes?

Oh, but you make it sound SO MUCH FUN...

Wasn't fun. Eyes practically fell out of my head. Never heard Cara use the f bomb before. Or swear much at all, actually. PW: harmony does equal happiness, however both Tim and Cara are demanding to know why they are being punished by the mandatory family meeting. Now they are united in their opinion that I'm the bad guy. Sigh. Family dynamics are something.

I'm sorry to laugh at your pain, but I'm not in the mood to cry this morning.
My wife is a patient woman, but she has her limits. Dylan and I sometimes get in trouble with her at the same time, and for the same reason. I guess that might be one reason she refers to us as "her boys."

Hal: have you and Dylan ever gotten into trouble with your patient wife at 4 AM? If so, how patient was she at that time. Because, really, about the time my two were both glaring at ME, I was ready to open a can of whup-butt on both of 'em. Jees. We're usually such a quiet bunch...

Hope your family meeting was productive and peace restoring!
Early morning + rude awakening + trash + stress can NOT be a good combination. Fingers crossed these particular events don't occur in unison again.

Relief at finding my car brought to mind delight over a repenting sinner
Thought for the weekend
I had a very embarrassing experience on Wednesday afternoon. When you read the details of it you'll think I'm daft or else, very unkindly, you'll think I had a 'senior moment'.
I lost my car. I was visiting in one of the hospitals and parked my car on the second floor of the multi-storey car park.
When I was leaving the hospital I returned to the second floor and it wasn't there. Now, of course, it wasn't my fault!
I knew it was on the second floor — it was parked in a dark, concealed space.
Instinctively, I thought it had been stolen.
But, just in case it happened to be on another floor, I decided to take a walk around to see if I could spot it.
Unbelievably, 20 minutes later, I found it on the sixth floor, not in a concealed spot but right out in the open air on the top floor of the car park.

Well, I was a happy man.
That which was lost was found.
There's a woman in the Bible who Jesus spoke about — you can read about her in Luke 15. She really did lose something valuable.
She had 10 coins which had been probably given to her by her husband when she got married and she lost one of them.
She seemed to have lived in a fairly small house with little light and she was determined to find the lost coin.
Jesus says that she went for the biggest spring clean you have every witnessed and, wonderfully, somewhere in an obscure corner, she found the lost coin.
Was she happy? You've got to believe it. The Bible tells us that she called her friends and neighbours together and held a party to celebrate.
Now, why would Jesus have told a story like that?
I mean, it's quite interesting and it has a nice ending, but why do we need to know about some unknown woman who lost a special coin?
Well, here's what Jesus said: "In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
That's it. As the woman rejoiced with her friends and neighbours when that which was lost had been found, so God rejoices with the angels of heaven when a sinner repents and turns to God in faith.
I wonder, will there be rejoicing in heaven today?
