The Circle Of Life
Green Group at Sixth form have formed a mini enterprize called "Circle of life", please see the below powerpoint.
We have several items for sale, photos and prices attached.
These items can be viewed at Sixth Form Hub. If you are interested in buying anything please contact Green Group.
Community Cafe
Every Wednesday morning we host a Community Cafe at the Welcombe Hills Sixth Form Hub. The Cafe has been a huge success with most of the customers returning every week. We change the menu every term so the community don't get bored of having the same food and drinks every week. We also collect data from the customers on what they would like on the menu and what they think we should change. This helps with our maths skills.
I enjoy the Cafe because it helps with my communication skills.
On Wednesday 4th October 2017 students from Green Group opened a Community Café at 16-19 Hub.
Students have been busy this term preparing for this grand opening, they have been shopping for crockery and cutlery, trying out recipes, researching local eating places, designing the logo, leaflets and posters, looking at job roles and responsibilities and applying for a position of their choice. Students would like to thank the Tesco Food Share Scheme which has helped set up this Mini Enterprise.
Customers were queuing outside before the opening at 9.00am. Judith, the Headteacher officially opened the Café by cutting the ribbon and the doors opened, letting customers flood in! Customers included our parents, teachers and pupils from the Main Site, Governors, local community and special guest the Mayor of Stratford.
We were kept busy all morning serving the customers. Jess, Receptionist said 'I kept looking into the Common Room to see what was going on, it all looked busy and everyone was enjoying themselves'. Jess also said that she overheard customers on their way out saying 'I'm glad we came, it was lovely'. Chelsea's parents attended and they said, 'Chelsea, we are very proud of what you and your class are doing, keep up the amazing work'. One customer said, 'I was very impressed with the Community Café this morning, the detail with the menu, plants on each table etc etc and all the students did really well, were very professional'.
Ian, the finance manager announced takings of £70.00, everyone was delighted. Customers were also very generous by leaving tips - these will be collected up weekly and donated to a charity each term.
All students were very tired but felt a great sense of achievement at the end of the event.
They hope next week will be as successful and look forward to seeing you all there.
Green Group, Sixth Form.

SportsPulse: USA TODAY Sports' Scott Gleeson looks at five teams that have made improbable runs to the second weekend of March Madness. USA TODAY Sports
Lakota High School graduate and former Lakota East assistant coach Brooke Wyckoff is featured in a USA TODAY Sports article about working moms in coaching balancing basketball and family.
An excerpt from USA TODAY Sports' Lindsay Schnell :
Brooke Wyckoff laughs at the thought now, but when the 37-year-old Florida State women's basketball assistant found out she was pregnant, she remembers thinking, "How hard could this working mom thing be?"
A former standout forward for the Seminoles, Wyckoff had seen other female coaches balance basketball and family. The first two years of her career, Wyckoff considered herself a solid multitasker. Then she had a baby, and her respect for working mothers — especially coaches — increased exponentially.
"There's nothing like winning a big game on the road," Wyckoff says, "then asking the trainer for a bag of ice to keep your breast milk cold while you walk through airport security with a cooler."
The women's NCAA tournament is here, and Wyckoff and third-seeded Florida State are seeking the program's first trip to the Final Four. Avery, her 4-year-old daughter, will watch from the stands. Across the country, dozens of moms — and dads — in coaching will spend the next few weeks juggling scouting reports and nursery rhymes, balancing practice and play dates. While working dads are seen in sidelines across the country, it's the moms who say they have unique challenges on the job.
Wyckoff graduated from Lakota High School in 1997, just before the school split into Lakota East and Lakota West. She starred at Florida State, played in the WNBA from 2001 to 2009, coached for two seasons as an assistant at East, and returned to FSU, where she has been an assistant coach since.

Honesty is the first chapter of the book wisdom. ~ Thomas Jefferson

Internet was started by the military (to carry out Zionist wars) but got BIG due to the bandwidth demands of Joo porn purveyors.
This a fascinating topic & brings to mind another one that SUSHI & myself have touched on for a minute in the past: the theft of property of JAPANESE DETAINEES in WWII by JEWISH MOB: KORSHAK, PRITZGER family & others.
Yep, German culture that developed what we now call the coming together of science and technology in the late 19th century and early 20th century is as significant in the history of the world as the domestication of animals, 5th century Athens, middle age Christianity, 7th century Islam, and the Renaissance; this is the world we were born into and were going to die in. Unfortunately, when the Jews rushed-in to take control of this empire of the mind they actually killed the spirit of innovation and invention in science/technology, so all we have today is repetition and some improvement of the same ideas the Germans came-up with in this time period.
The Japanese lived by a different code altogether. To them war-crimes were part of warfare. They simply did not and I dare say, still do not, accept the concept.
The Japanese are correct -- war is war.

Helping Babies BreatheUsing infant resuscitation to save newborn lives
A simple training program that's making a profound difference in Sierra Leone, empowering local health workers to save newborn lives.
Sierra Leone ranks as the worst country in the world for under-5 mortality: 182 out of every 1,000 children in Sierra Leone — almost one in five — die before their fifth birthday. Nearly 30% of child deaths occur on the first day of life, resulting in 11,200 newborn deaths each year. The leading cause of newborn death is birth asphyxia/trauma, largely a result of a lack of skilled birth attendants at delivery.
Our Solution
The Helping Babies Breathe curriculum was designed to give birth attendants in developing countries essential skills in newborn resuscitation. World Hope International, (WHI) in a partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics and Children's Prize Foundation, is training and equipping Sierra Leonean health workers in HBB, with the ultimate goal of reducing neonatal mortality in hard-to-reach areas. The key concept of HBB is the "Golden Minute," which says that within the first minute of life, babies should be ventilated with a bag and mask if they are not breathing well on their own. The HBB training materials are pictorial-based and designed for even the most uneducated birth attendants, including those who are illiterate, to perform basic neonatal resuscitation.

"I recently delivered the annual Adam Smith lecture in Kirkcaldy, Fife. It was the first time a woman had been trusted to give this economics lecture all by herself. As a marvellous bagpiper led the way, it struck me that this might be my glass cliff moment. Because, let's face it, I'm not an obvious choice for such a task. But with men now making up two-thirds of economics students, all but one of the Nobel prizewinners for economics having been a man and every single British chancellor of the exchequer somehow having been required to be a boy, then finding a woman might have been tricky.
By happy coincidence, I chose as the subject of my lecture women's exclusion from the formal economy. Or as I like to call it, our grossly undervalued domestic product (GUDP). Never, as it happens, has this been more relevant than now, as the full horror of the gender pay gap is revealed. I have so enjoyed watching the debate unfold. Highlights include accusing women of conflating pay discrimination with the gender pay gap – silly women! – though nobody benefits more from this apparent "confusion" than the companies evading legal action.
Better still are those bemoaning the lack of explanatory data, while dogmatically concluding that the gender pay gap has nothing to do with discrimination in hiring or promotion decisions. And my absolute favourite – let's not forget the pro-choicers. These are the three women on this planet whose privilege and adoration of unfettered capitalism leads them to infer that women simply choose to work for less, and guarantees them a slot on every talkshow "in the interest of balance".
But the pay gap isn't the choice of women. It is both a cause and consequence of gender inequality. In many respects it is more important than pay discrimination because it shines a light on the deep structural inequalities in every part of our society and economy."

Arrows fly, swords clash, nobles and church men are gulled out of their coins, and the French and Venetians are successfully blamed for things they did not do. This is a collection of the entire first six books in Martin Archer's exciting and action-packed saga of Cornwall's Company of Archers at the dawn of Britain's military supremacy and the beginning of its great merchant companies. It is an enjoyable and sometimes witty read that sticks pins into the church and nobility along the way.
The on-going saga of the Company of Archers is set in dangerous and gritty feudal England during a time when there was great upheaval in Britain as the barons rose against the king, the Saracens were lashing out against the Christians for breaking a truce, and Islamic pirates from the Barbary Coast were fighting for control of the Mediterranean. This is British and English historical fiction at its action-packed best. It will appeal to the fans of books such as The Game of Thrones and authors such as Bernard Cornwell, Jeffrey Archer, C.S. Forester, Griff Hosker, Peter Darman, and Jerry Auteri.

I just wanted to drop you a line about the work your team did for this job. We never had to wait for a response to our needs no matter if your guys where in the middle of something; in minutes you were there. Even when Foreman changed, there was hardly a skip in the beat of work to stay ahead of the construction of the line. All of your guy's efforts have not gone un-noticed and is very much appreciated. Hope to work with you all again,
Forsythe, John R:(ComEd)
I wanted to send you a note about the L1809 project. As you guys know this project was executed in one of Com Ed's most environmental sensitive areas known as the Endangered Hine's Emerald Dragon Fly Area. This area is a very swampy wetland with thin soil over dolomite bedrock. This Dragon Fly habitat is about 3,000 acres along the Des Plaines River Valley the only other breeding sites known are in Door County Wisconsin, Missouri and northern Michigan. I wanted to let you guys know that I was extremely impressed with your team from Day 1. You took the time to do your homework before attending meetings with our Environmental Consultants. Your team was well versed about the area and the requirements. Your team asked all the right questions and executed this project flawlessly. We had a number of audits conducted on your team internally and externally by our environmental consultants to ensure you were compliment with all the state, local and governmental requirements to work in this area. There were no issues or deviations reported. I received a ton of positive feedback from the auditors and contractors. Your team had mats set up according to plan, never a day late. Your teams were out there assisting us with snow removal during each snow event without even having to call and ask for support. I called Nathan after waking up and looking out my bedroom window with 2 feet of snow asking him to do snow removal, he told me he has had a crew on site for 4 hours and was about 50% complete. I can't tell you how happy I was when he told me the crews were out there first thing in the morning.
Nathan was all over the execution of this project, we did not even experience 1 hour of delay by your team which is something I cannot say I have ever experienced by the competitors. On my last project I had a number of examples of delays caused by the matting competitor on my job. They had to relay mats because it was unsafe for the construction crews to stage their equipment. That was not the case when working with Midwest Access Solutions. For me the most impressive was how level the mats where in the dragon fly area, I was able to drive my small little Harley truck with 22 inch rims on your mats without having any issues or without me freaking out that I would lose my front end. In conclusion, I just wanted to give your team a big fat thank you knocking it out of the park on this very sensitive and high profile project. I look forward to continue our relationship on the next project.

Principal Project Manager
Transmission Project Management
From Day one when Midwest was established we have worked very closely with them on projects with some very tight schedules. Their services have proven to be very accommodating in our world of ever changing schedules and project hurdles. Their pricing is very competitive, and response time is exceptional. We look forward to the future of doing business together.

I am looking to spread the word a bit more among our Building Division Superintendents and Project Managers with regard to the benefits and uses of the CLT Timber Matting. I know you currently have a site agreement with our project team at Wildwood School. I was on site last week and really liked what I saw for this specific site and its intended use. Well thought out plan and sequence. Thanks for the help with this. I want to know if you can email me a brochure that I can then turn around and distribute to our other project teams showing the Wildwood application and the benefits of the product. If you have Wildwood pics to send with the brochure that would be a plus, if not I will attach them when I forward the literature. I was at your presentation last month and liked the product. I also know we did not have even half of the Supers there that day to see the presentation first hand. Any questions, give me a call.
Thanks for the help.
Gerry Eble
Senior Superintendent
I appreciate everything MAS has done for Ameren to date, your work has been superb. However, I just wanted to take time to say that we are now starting on the 2nd largest construction program in Ameren's history, the first being building our Nuclear Power Plant. That being said, if there is anything that looks like an obstacle to you supporting this program, call me anytime and I will get it out of your way.
Thanks again,
Chuck Twellmann, Ameren

For Immediate Release: Wednesday, February 27, 2019
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com (HDC)
email@example.com (HPD)
HDC and HPD Join Camber Property Group and Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement, Inc to Break Ground on Victory Plaza, a $65 Million New 100% Affordable Senior Building in Harlem
136-unit building on 118th Street will include units for formerly homeless seniors
New York, NY – Camber Property Group, Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement, Inc. (HCCI), NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and NYC Housing Development Corporation (HDC) held a groundbreaking ceremony today with community members and elected officials for Victory Plaza, a 136-unit, 100 percent affordable building for seniors in Harlem. The building, located at 11 West 118th Street, will include 41 units set aside for formerly homeless seniors and will be constructed using the latest sustainable design principles. Victory Plaza is being constructed on underutilized land associated with a neighboring senior housing building. The project will leverage recent zoning changes passed by the New York City Council known as Zoning for Quality and Affordability (ZQA) that provide density bonuses with the creation of senior affordable housing. The nine-story building will feature interior and exterior community space and an outdoor garden, as well as offices for on-site social services. The building anticipates a completion date of December 2020.
"Through Housing New York, we are looking to build the next generation of senior housing. Victory Plaza will create 136 homes for seniors, including 41 homes for homeless seniors, on land that was part of an existing HUD 202, delivering on a key strategy laid out in Housing New York 2.0," said HPD Commissioner Maria Torres-Springer. "I want to thank HCCI, Camber, Wells Fargo, and all our partners for working with us to protect our city's seniors."
"Through Housing New York 2.0, we doubled our commitment to senior housing and today, as we break ground on Victory Plaza, we continue to make good on that promise," said HDC President Eric Enderlin. "Thanks to all our partners who have worked to ensure these 136 permanently affordable homes will serve New York City seniors for generations to come."
"Victory Plaza will provide state of the art senior housing serving some of the most vulnerable New Yorkers" said Rick Gropper, Principal at Camber Property Group. "With on-site social services and curated indoor and outdoor amenity space, our residents will live in comfort without concern about rent burden. Camber and HCCI are thankful to HPD, HDC, Councilmember Perkins and Wells Fargo for their support in making this impactful project a reality."
"HCCI has produced quality affordable housing in Harlem for over 32-years," said Malcolm Punter, President and CEO of HCCI. "By and large, the production of the Victory Plaza Senior Housing, a core achievement adding 136 units of senior housing to Central Harlem, represents a strategic victory for our community. Our partnership with Camber, HDC, HPD, Wells Fargo is evidence that private-public partnerships in affordable housing continue to improve the lives of low-income New Yorkers."
"Victory Plaza will address one of the most urgent needs in New York City – affordable housing for seniors," said Vince Toye, head of Community Lending and Investment for Wells Fargo. "Wells Fargo is committed to helping improve access to affordable housing in areas where there are the biggest needs, and we're proud to support this ambitious project with both equity and debt financing."
The Aufgang Architects-designed Victory Plaza will be located in the heart of Harlem, where senior residents will enjoy close proximity to cultural attractions, restaurants and a range of senior centers and health service providers. It will also enjoy close access to parks, with Marcus Garvey Park two blocks to the north and within a ten-minute walk of Central Park to the south.
The $65 million project is financed by HDC, HPD and Wells Fargo. The NYC Housing Development Corporation (HDC) is funding $46 million in tax exempt bonds and subsidy, HPD is contributing $7 million in subsidy and Wells Fargo is contributing $26 million in equity generated from the sale of Low Income Housing Tax Credits, along with a $39 million Letter of Credit.
The New York City Housing Development Corporation (HDC) is the nation's largest municipal Housing Finance Agency and is charged with helping to finance the creation or preservation of affordable housing under Mayor Bill de Blasio's Housing New York plan. Since 2003, HDC has financed more than 150,000 housing units using over $21.2 billion in bonds and other debt obligations, and provided in excess of $1.9 billion in subsidy from corporate reserves. HDC ranks among the nation's top issuers of mortgage revenue bonds for affordable multi-family housing on Thomson Reuter's annual list of multi-family bond issuers. In each of the last five consecutive years, HDC's annual bond issuance has surpassed $1 billion. For additional information, visit: http://www.nychdc.com
About the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is the nation's largest municipal housing preservation and development agency. Its mission is to promote quality housing and diverse, thriving neighborhoods for New Yorkers through loan and development programs for new affordable housing, preservation of the affordability of the existing housing stock, enforcement of housing quality standards, and educational programs for tenants and building owners. HPD is tasked with fulfilling Mayor de Blasio's Housing New York Plan which was recently expanded and accelerated through Housing New York 2.0 to complete the initial goal of 200,000 homes two years ahead of schedule—by 2022, and achieve an additional 100,000 homes over the following four years, for a total of 300,000 homes by 2026.

After several years of hard work and going out and applying to several competitions, I finally got a promotion! Not only did I get a promotion, I got it by pure merit, I went through several written exams and multiple face to face interviews.
Jealousy reared its ugly head
Co-workers I had been working for over a decade started acting strange and aloof, instead of being happy for this joyous event in my life, they wanted to piss on it. These were people I went to Christmas dinners and after work drinking binges with. In the end they left me with the feeling that they were not my friends but literally my enemies. We all have been jealous at one point in time but in the end jealousy is non-productive and colossal waste of energy.
What are some of the traits that can help us from becoming jealous?
If you are comfortable with who you are as an individual and know where you are heading in life, then there is no reason to be jealous. You don't need to feel inadequate to others, you are going on your path and you are totally sure of yourself. Other people can be successful, so what? You can be too.
Don't compare yourself to others.
While it is important to see how you measure up against others to help measure your performance and determine goals, going overboard is going to consume you. Keeping track of who did what and if you are better is going to tire you out.
Seeking approval from other people
I've found that some people have to get a pat on the back, if they don't get that 'pat' their lack of self-worth shows. Their feelings get hurt and they resent you bad, then comes the jealousy, 'he got an award and I didn't'. It's great to get recognition from others, but to want it constantly can be a problem.
Celebrate others' successes
Celebrating others' success is healthy, you will be respected for being genuine. When the time comes they may reciprocate and that can only give you good vibes all around.
Associate with right crowd
Surrounding yourself with people who think like you and have integrity will create a good environment. Who wants to have people with crab mentality all around you. Find the right people, size them up and decide ultimately if you want to have them in your life.
If you find yourself getting jealous, take a moment and see why you are feeling like this. Stop yourself from going overboard and focus on yourself and how good you really are, you will realize that jealousy is not worth it.

Dark & Romantic Bridal Shoot in Nuutajärvi Mansion:
The location for this romantic styled shoot was ah-ma-zing! The old Nuutajärvi Mansion was built in 1606, and in 1793 Nuutajärvi glass village was founded in the area. The old mansion has played a big role in the glassworks community throughout the years but was lastly occupied in the 1990's.
When I first entered this majestic building it seemed like the time had stopped. You could still see old furniture, silverware, house items and even letters laying around the gorgeous rooms. Petra Veikkola and Helmivillakko had certainly done a great job for choosing this unique location for their workshop. Our gorgeous model Lotta could not been more perfect for the styled bridal shoot. Her timeless face, gorgeous wedding gown and the old, dark rooms of the mansion created a beautiful narrative for the shoot. She looked like an elegant manor lady on her wedding day. Ohh and did I mention the LIGHT? Old wall papers, gloomy furniture and rough earthy tones combined with the perfect natural light filling each room in such a serene way. It was, in every way, perfect.
If you wish to see another example set from my time in Nuutajärvi workshop, click here to view it.

SDCC 2014: All Three Captain America Directors Tapped For Agent Carter
SDCC 2014: All Three Captain America Directors Tapped For Agent Carter
Winter Soldier and First Avenger filmmakers will helm early episodes of Marvel miniseries
When Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D takes its mid-season break this coming season, the gap in new episodes will be filled by Agent Carter, a miniseries set in the late-1940s based around Haley Atwell's Agent Peggy Carter character from Captain America: The First Avenger.
Now, at Marvel's SDCC Television panel, Marvel's TV head Jeph Loeb has announced that Joe & Anthony Russo - who directed Captain America: The Winter Soldier - will direct the second and third episodes of the series, with First Avenger's Joe Johnston in talks for the fourth. Episode one will be handled by Louis D'esposito, a longtime Marvel hand who directed the original Agent Carter "One-Shot" that the series is based on.
The Russos cut their teeth as directors on television series like Community before breaking into features. Johnston is an old Hollywood pro, otherwise best known for directing The Rocketeer and the most recent Wolf Man feature.
So basically the first third of it will be by people we know are competent and whose work fits the general mood of the setting.
Sounds good to me.
Oh, it's only a miniseries. Well, fewer higher quality episodes might be the best. I'm excited.
I'm intrigued with this show. I haven't watched most of Agents of Shield, which I will get to eventually, but I loved Carter's character in the movie, so I really hope this is good. With finding out more about what she did after seeing the most recent movie, I have hopes that it will fill in some of the gaps. Even if it doesn't, as long as it's entertaining, I will be fine with.

Stylish luggage is a part of travel culture. A garment bag made from the finest Italian calf leather, canvas, and cotton-denim exudes the elegance of old times, but is also very functional. The hand-tanned leather gets even more beautiful through strain and usage because it develops a very special patina.
Many practical zipper compartments provide space for shoes, ties or underwear. The exquisite interior contains carefully designed accessories and the fresh cotton lining is pleasantly scent-neutral. The design is as usual understated, but the aura quite luxurious.
Our Tuscan tannery has passed on the tradition of plant-based tanning for four generations. Its work is conducted in a fully refurbished building with the most modern equipment and technology without altering the long traditional tanning process.
Turning raw calf skin into fine but stable leather that will last forever is done in wooden drums using natural tannins, which are made exclusively from selected wood.
A process that observes the necessary slow passage of time and shows respect for individuals and nature.
Our leather bags are crafted in Italy using traditional artisanal methods. Timeless, iconic leather luggage is created from the finest Italian calf leather, which is tanned in Tuscany by hand using only plant-based extracts, and natural fine lining. Each piece is handmade and original with distinctive fittings and details. Our collection offers the quality from the past for the fast pace of today.
You will notice that our leather bags will become more beautiful with time and with increased usage. The patina of countless trips and natural darkening gives the leather bags their flair.
We believe customers have the right
to know what their products cost to make!

To ignore Marx the philosopher is to remain impoverished in a market-driven world
Today is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx, the author of Das Kapital and the leading spirit of the International Workingmen's Association (known as the First International). In the words of Oscar Wilde, the Irish playwright and writer, "An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all." If this statement is true in the case of only one thinker in the history of ideas, that person would certainly be Marx.
If Marx had not decided to change the world, he would have been remembered today only as a name on a gravestone in Highgate cemetery in London. Thus, there is no question why a thinker like Marx was at the same time a great influence on the most important thinkers of the twentieth century and a victim of a terrible misunderstanding for all those who made a revolutionary prophet out of him.
Not of gulags, killing fields
For over a century the fate of Marx's thought was tied to that of Marxism. Even today, three decades after the fall of the Soviet empire, many still blame Marx for the cruel atrocities that happened around the world in the name of Marxism.
However, to think and to repeat that Marx is responsible for the Stalinist gulags or the killing fields of Pol Pot in Cambodia would be nothing but pure nonsense. No doubt, he would have been one of the first victims of Stalin, Pol Pot or any communist dictator. As such, the responsibility for the horrors of communist totalitarianism would be on the shoulders of no other ideology than Marxism-Leninism, which turned the materialist and historicist philosophy of Marx into a revolutionary eschatology and in many cases into a thermodynamics of terror. As Voltaire says majestically, "Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities."
Despite what happened in the past hundred years in the communist countries, Marx remains an important thinker and a central figure of the modern canon around the world. In other words, he should be read closely, with precision and patience. As such, any loosely philosophical approach or iconic view of Marx would turn the critical edge of his analysis of modernity and capitalism into wrong principles of a wrong struggle.
This is not to say that Marx provides us with all the answers to all our problems.

It was the perfect storm. I was young and single. The doctor's office I was under the care of for my pregnancy sent me to a different doctor for each visit. And by the time I delivered my baby, I was so emotionally stressed from my personal circumstances, that caring for myself physically was way down the list. 24 hours after I gave birth I was in agonizing pain only to be told that it was "normal". With no one in the medical field truly overseeing my medical care, this began a 3 month long medical nightmare. It was definitely one life lesson on the importance of learning how to be your own health advocate. So I have put together, from that experience and my heart health journey, 8 ways to courageously advocate for yourself when seeking a medical diagnosis. [Read more…]
Resolving to Think Like a Survivor
Much of America is currently trying to survive overwhelming natural disasters. Two category 4 hurricanes have hit land causing incomprehensible damage and as I'm writing this our country is remembering the attacks of September 11th. How do you think like a survivor? What is the difference between people who seem to fade away under the crush of overwhelming circumstances and those that seem to only grow stronger? This question that has always intrigued me. How do we resolve to think like a survivor? [Read more…]
Overcoming Heartache and Emotional Pain
"Mom, why are you taking a picture of your arm?", my daughter asked. I was sitting on the couch capturing a photo of the huge bruise on my arm. My arm was black and blue from an unexpected surgery I had gone through the week before. " It will help me as I recover emotionally to remember that I have gone through this surgery," I tried to explain. I knew, that soon the bruises would fade, but the emotional pain and heartache I (and my family) had gone through would last much longer. [Read more…]
Coping When Kids Leave Home Part II
Earlier this week I shared Coping When Kids Leave Home Part I. Today, I would like to share the second part of that post, Coping When Kids Leave Home Part II. As I mentioned, it is more than just seeing your kids less. It is a new season. It is a reason to celebrate. You and your child made it through the growing up years. They are ready to leave the nest and start a new season in their life. However, as a parent it is challenging to see our kids move forward without us. How do we let go of one season in our relationship with our child in order to allow a new one to bloom? [Read more…]

Summer is almost here in the Midwest! My husband and children planted flowers, mulched and mowed Sunday making the yard around our farmhouse lovely.

I am blessed to have many wonderful gift givers in my life.

Dear Friend: A Letter of Encouragement
Dear Friend,

Are You Trapped in Crisis Mode?
The woman sitting across from me was living in crisis mode. Fifteen years ago, I was just starting out as a court and family advocate. Part of the job I loved was talking with the clients that came into our agency. After hearing the woman in my office speak for close to half an hour, I was greatly concerned. She was in a very vulnerable position. Her current relationship was abusive. And to make matters worse she seemed trapped in crisis mode. [Read more…]

I almost burned our house down that day. It all started when I was cleaning out my work desk downstairs. Little did I realize the mess that was about to unfold. Sometimes our dating lives can be like that, messy and nearly disastrous. So before you decide are you ready to date again, ask yourself the four questions below. [Read more…]
Finding the Right Job for You
Note: This post contains affiliate links. For more information click here
Have you ever had that feeling that something is off, but you are not sure what? For those of you who may not know, the picture above is of a round bale feeder. The cattle are SUPPOSED to stand on the outside and reach in with their necks to feed. This heifer decided to just stand inside the feeder! Not sure how she managed that! It did remind me of a job I had years ago where everything felt off, and how I was faced with finding the right job.
In the 90's I began working as a flight attendant. In general, I loved this job. It was flexible, I had unbelievable flight benefits and the sun was almost always shining above the clouds.
But, alas, there came a time when I needed a job with more stable hours, where I was home every night. So I took another job. [Read more…]

Sociology: A Text with Adapted Readings
Sociology: A Text with Adapted Readings
Sociology is one of the social sciences. Its long-run aim is to discover the basic structure of human society, to identify the main forces that hold groups together or weaken them, and to learn the conditions that transform social life. In this, sociology, like any pure or basic science, is a disciplined, intellectual quest for fundamental knowledge of the nature of things. Most sociologists believe that they stand only at the outermost rim of this understanding.
Although some sociologists devote themselves to the development of first principles and fundamental concepts, others pursue relatively restricted inquiries, including careful reporting of significant events, the compilation and interpretation of sociological statistics, and the testing of hypotheses about limited topics. Some of this work has a practical orientation, such as the desire to control juvenile delinquency or to reduce absenteeism of factory workers; much of it is stimulated by intellectual curiosity, the desire to understand a puzzling fact or to comprehend an important event. In this book we shall draw on the sociological enterprise as a whole, both on attempts to formulate basic principles and on more modest efforts to contribute to the fund of verifiable knowledge.
When one seeks to draw general conclusions, he must be selective . The scientist is interested in kinds of things, in placing phenomena into categories, and this means looking at special aspects of the concrete world. The same "thing" can be understood in a number of different ways. Consider your instructor's chair. If a specialist in the branch of physics called mechanics were to study it, he would see it as a combination of weights and balances; a biologist specializing in anatomy would see it as a receptacle for the human form and might assess its effect on the spinal column; an economist might see it as a product of mass production, a unit of cost and price; the psychologist might see it as part of the perceptual frame of the student; and the sociologist might see the chair as a symbol of status.
Like any other field of inquiry, sociology is selective in its approach. It highlights and illuminates aspects of social life that otherwise might be only obscurely recognized and understood. Its specialized knowledge about basic elements and processes in the social . . .

A developmentally disabled patient of a state-licensed home died recently from complications caused by burns he received when an aide placed him in scalding bath water. The burns covered the man's feet and required a month-long hospitalization before he died. Prosecutors are considering whether to file charges against the aide. Read more about the incident.
How painful must this man's last month of life must have been! Burn injuries are horribly painful during the initial injury and during attempts to heal. Burns occur in nursing homes and assisted living facilities because of scalding water in hand sinks, showers, and tubs, and from spills. The temperature of the liquid, the amount of skin exposed, and the duration of exposure dictates the severity of a burn injury. Third-degree burns, like this man's probably were, penetrate the entire thickness of the skin and permanently destroy tissue. The severity of this man's burns is rivaled only by how senseless the neglect of the facility's aide was. If only she had taken a second to check the water temperature . . .
Our law office has been serving Virginians since 1997 and is dedicated to protecting the rights of the victims of nursing home and assisted living neglect and abuse in Richmond, Roanoke, Lynchburg, Danville, Charlottesville, and across Virginia.

Division 4
Semiweeklies 4,001 or More
1. Williamson County Sun — Digging your paper! Fonts are consistent but order of importance is obvious. Kudos to graphics designer— very effective. Loved boxing photo. Good use of photos above fold to draw readers. Use of lines, headlines, subheads and white space make this newspaper clean and reader-friendly.
2. Wise County Messenger — Wow! Your front page is ballsy! Definitely a fitting tribute to a fallen officer. Kudos for having the guts to not run typed stories on the front. Good use of quality photos. Wasn't crazy about font on sports front, but it is appropriate given the gritty, urban effect you were going for. Op-ed page easy to read.
3. Hood County News — Way to rock some photos! Excellent use of art above fold. Clean and easy to read. Design features— boxes on sports page— clean. Editorial page a bit hard to read. Frames and text on lifestyle page too much, although I understand the effect. Overall very clean.
4. Beeville Bee-Picayune — Liked that you aren't afraid to run big photos. Graphic with grapes on lifestyles front and teaser bar on front page interesting. Headlines have too many decks and tend to look the same. Use typography to tell readers what's important.
Division 5
Semiweeklies 4,000 or Less
1. Round Rock Leader — Points for innovation on homefront page! Overall good package, clean. Maybe consider breaking up text a bit more on homefront and editorial pages.
2. Copperas Cove Leader-Press — Your presentation of the dog fight on front made the page. Design elements — sidebars and other graphics— broke up the text well. Try to give things a bit more room to breathe and beware of too many three-deck headlines.
3. Lampasas Dispatch Record — Good use of photos to break up text. Sports sidebar is well done, as is sales tax graphic. Overall, division of stories— editorial page especially— needs some work. It's O.K. to use some lines. Liked front and sports pages!
4. Andrews County News — Good presentation of page 1 murder story— nice package! Good photo but too much text on sports. Don't change body fonts on editorial page, one on one. Not a bad package overall.

2. Wilson County News — Nice front centerpiece design. Good skybox. Nice photo display on living page. Sports has odd headline fonts! Distracting and not effective. Stick to main typeface. Good use of color photos throughout.
3. Rockdale Reporter — Nice front design of fair photos. Very strong sports page. You use photos well but cut down on use of color tints— looks dated and makes pages too busy and cluttered. Go for cleaner look. Good, strong headline fonts are used well throughout.
4. Pleasanton Express — Sports is your best page— nice impact, good use of photos and headlines. Main art on front page is attractive but posed and a bit cheesy. Living page lacks a focal point and dominant art. Green tint boxes went out with the '80s.
Division 7
Medium Large Weeklies
1. Smithville Times — Great fire/storm package. Good elections box. Strong opinion page. Fun and interesting lifestyles page.
2. Alpine Avalanche — Strong flag and teaser rail. Nice Obama package. Strong opinion page. Great year-in-review feature. Bright sports page.

You always refer to a "close examination" of the narrative "ascribed to the Prophet (PBUH)" in light of Qur'an, logic and historical facts. I respect your opinion about the ways of examination fully except one thing. I don't think we can understand everything "ascribed to the Prophet" with logic. There are many Ahadith narrated in Bukhari and Muslim that cannot be logically explained – for example about Dogs, pictures and many other which are referred time and again on this site by many people. You always put a "Question Mark" where you cannot explain the Ahadith. I just wanted to ask one thing; Is it necessary that we refute everything ascribed to the Prophet (PBUH) till the time we cannot find a logical or scientific explanation. Won't this qualify you to fall in the category of "Munkirin-e-Hadith"? I do not mean to be rude to you because you are helping a lot in communicating and propagating the Islamic message. But I think the correct way to promote your definition of Sunnah (which is different than classical scholars) is not to refute or try to explain every Hadith with the help of Science and Logic. You should rather start a process for a modern and more authentic compilation of narratives which can surpass the other great works like Bukhari and Muslim. But I think simply changing the classical view of Sunnah would not help the cause you are trying to propagate. Am I right or wrong?
First of all, We would like to clarify that we do not seek to find a scientific explanation of every Hadith. In fact, we generally hold the opinion of those who do so, to be incorrect.
Secondly,Munkirin e Hadith(though we dont like such terms)are those people who do not even consider hadith as a source to derive any information about deen.
As far as we are concerned we do not accept ahadith carelessly as it may give incorrect information about Allah's deen.We do hold that to be considered as accurately ascribed to the Prophet (pbuh), one of the acid-tests, which a narrative should be subjected to is that its content should not entail anything, which is contrary to the established and acknowledged scientific or established historical facts. Nevertheless, we are sure you appreciate that it is one thing to say that a narrative should not contain anything, which is contrary to established facts of science and history and quite another to seek a scientific explanation of every narrative, before accepting it.
However, you may still not agree with the application of the stated criterion in determining the accuracy of ascription of a given narrative to the Prophet (pbuh). Nevertheless, the significance of ascribing a saying or an action to the Prophet (pbuh), in our opinion, dearly demands extreme care and strict application of the criteria of acceptability of these narratives as being accurately ascribed to the Prophet (pbuh). It was precisely this pressing demand, which led to the development of the science of Hadith. It was exactly this requirement, which led such great names as Maalik ibn Anas, Bukhariy, Muslim etc. to prepare compilations, which according to their criteria were considered accurate.We do not see any reason why we should avoid applying the same criteria, wherever possible, in determining the accuracy of the ascription of a given narrative to the Prophet (pbuh).
In our opinion, Khatib Baghdadiy has very accurately summed up these criteria in the following statement:
ولا يقبل خبر الواحد في منافاة حكم العقل وحكم القرآن الثابت المحكم والسنة المعلومة والعمل الجاري مجرى السنة وكل دليل مقطوع به. (الكفاية في علم الرواية، ص 432)
No such narrative reported by a few people shall be accepted, which is against common sense, or against an established ruling of the Qur'an or against a known Sunnah of the Prophet or against any thing accepted and followed by the Muslims as the Sunnah, or against an obvious fact.
We hope this helps.

By Christine Valdez
Web Production Assistant
"If you can believe it, You can achieve" was always a mantra that David DeOliveira lived by and it was one that he would share with his students at East Side High School in Newark. He always believed in motivating his students to advance their education beyond high school, while leaving behind a legacy of his own.
During his time as a teacher and athletic coach at East Side, David believed that his students — whom he often referred to as his kids — had the power and ability to change their lives. According to his sister, Christina DeOliveira, David's mission was to have the students believe in themselves and give them every opportunity possible to succeed. It was a mission that he kept until his passing in February 2011 from brain cancer.
Christina recalls her brother not only as another teacher to his students, but as a father, brother, mentor and role model for countless students.
"His mission was to get them to believe it too and give them every opportunity to succeed," Christina said.
As David wanted his students to go on and achieve their dreams, he would try to help them by looking for scholarship opportunities for college. He would even try to chip in for the students' education if there weren't any resources available.
"Coach, as he was referred to by his kids, left no resource untapped when it came to searching for scholarship funds to help pay for their education," said Christina. "Where there was no money to be found in the school system, he often gifted money from his own pocket."
David's generosity toward his students helped change their lives. During David's wake, Christina said that many of David's former students approached her and her parents with stories about how David made an impact.
"During that time, former students approached my parents and I with stories of how David touched and changed their lives forever," she said. "How they would not be where they are or doing what they do had it not been for his influence, encouragement and support."
While listening to the various stories, Christina says that it was at that moment when she realized how much her brother meant to people in the community and the school.
"It was then that I knew how incredibly special my brother truly was and I needed to do something to keep this part of him alive," said Christina.
In order to keep his memory alive, Christina came up with the idea of starting a foundation in his honor and keeping a cause that meant a lot to him.
Over time Christina began to work on establishing a foundation in her brother's honor. In order to achieve that goal, she reached out to some of David's former students that were still friends with him on his Facebook account.
"When I started the foundation, I reached out to former students that I found were still friends with his account on Facebook," she said. "I didn't remember any names or know who they were. So I just posted a general message on his page about what I was doing and asking for people to reach out to me if they wanted to be part of the effort."
After posting the message on David's Facebook page, Christina immediately heard back from some of David's former students and athletes. Soon enough Christina held a meeting at her house to discuss the plan for the foundation with many of the students that had contacted her. During the meeting, a Selection Criteria and Process Committee was created with the students, along with criteria for selecting a scholarship recipient.
With the foundation in its planning stages, the committee opted to keep the scholarship within East Side High School.
"Since East Side High School was David's home away from home, the benefiting students will be from that school," said Christina. "Initially, we will look for an athlete from the girls volleyball team. Moving forward, we hope to get enough support to expand it to others."
After deciding on the criteria for the foundation and who would benefit from it, David's Gift, the Education Alternative was officially established in February. Upon of establishment of the foundation, events in order to raise awareness and to begin fundraising for it were beginning to take form.
As some of the members of the selection committee on the foundation were David's students and former volleyball players on the girls team he coached, the idea of a volleyball game between East Side's current varsity team and David's former players came up. Since many of the girls shared those same memories, it was decided that the game would serve as the foundation's kick-off event. That game was later schedule for April 10 at East Side.
"In their communications with each other, they reminisced about all the memories and good times they had when they played and how long it's been," said Christina. "From there, the idea of having an 'All Star Game' was born. Seemed like an appropriate way to officially kick off the scholarship."
Since many of the girls spent their time on the team with David as their coach, Christina says that they found the foundation and scholarship program as a way to give back in memory of their coach.
At the scholarship and foundation kick-off event, scholarship applications were made available to the senior athletes on the girls volleyball team. While trying to raise awareness about the cause and gaining support from people in attendance, T-shirts and brain cancer awareness pins were being sold. Along with an entrance donation fee and a concession stand, all proceeds made at the event are set to go toward the scholarship fund.
Before the game took place, some of David's former students took the time to talk about their former teacher and how he made an impact on their lives — in the form of essays and stories that they had prepared for the event.
One former student, Ursula Tiago, recalled how she had met David, how he would help her throughout school and how he became a friend.
"I went into high school not knowing anything about anything and I graduated knowing that whatever obstacle I encountered, I could count on my teacher/coach that became a family friend and that I will be forever thankful," said Tiago.
Another former student, Nilmara Zanette, talked her time at East Side and having arrived at the school from a different country. She mentioned how it was frustrating to go to school at first until she met David and he approached her about joining the school's girls volleyball team and how it changed her life.
"Playing became everything to me," she said. "It gave me hope and made me see the school in a different way and suddenly it wasn't so bad any more."
Christina describes the scholarship kick-off as a success and now has a few other events lined up. Another event in the works now includes some of David's other students — the boys versus the girls.
As the foundation and scholarship program continues to grow, Christina says that she will continue to do what it takes to help as many students reach their goals as possible.
"My goal is to do whatever it takes to spread the word and raise necessary funds so the scholarship continues to grow in a way that we can help as many deserving students go to college as possible," she said.
