Enter to Win a Print Copy of BLOOD LUST
The Sentinels #3
Alexandra Ivy
Released May 31st, 2016
Blessed and cursed by their hidden abilities, the Sentinels have no choice but to live, and love, on the edge of humanity…
The Sentinel assassin, Bas, is facing the greatest challenge of his outcast existence. His young daughter, Molly, has been kidnapped. But her disappearance has brought the return of her mother, Myst, whom Bas has never forgotten--or forgiven.
Haunted by a vision that she's destined to create a weapon that will destroy thousands, Myst was never impulsive--until she met the irresistibly handsome Bas. But with the Brotherhood, the enemy of the high-bloods hunting for her, Myst had to stay on the run, to keep her child, and the world, safe. Now, with the most important thing in both their lives at stake, she and Bas must embark on a treacherous journey to save Molly, to confront the truth of Myst's fate--and to face their fierce desire for one another.

Pacing toward the long bar that was set near the leather sectional couch, Bas grimly poured himself a scotch. Tomorrow he would have the suite cleaned from top to bottom. Maybe that would get rid of the lingering scent of honeysuckle.
He was on his second drink when he heard the sound of approaching footsteps and he whirled to study the woman who came to a hesitant halt in the center of the room.
His brows snapped together. He told himself it was be-cause she was an unwelcome interloper and not because she looked as delicate and ethereal as a moonbeam.
A very sexy moonbeam.
She wrapped her arms around her slender waist, making a visible effort to meet his gaze.
"There's no need to glare at me," she chided.
He set aside his empty glass, smoothing his face to an unreadable mask.
It was something that should have come easily. He was a cold, ruthless assassin, wasn't he? Unfortunately, this woman had a unique talent of getting under his skin.
In more ways than one.
"You've been screwing with my daughter's mind," he said between clenched teeth, still unnerved by the revelation that this woman had been speaking with Molly without his knowledge.
Her chin jutted to a defensive angle. "I'll admit that I've often communicated with Molly, but I was hardly screwing with her mind. We talked like any other mother and daughter."
He narrowed his gaze. "You knew very well that I was unaware of your telepathic powers. You deliberately used that lack of awareness to take advantage."
"Molly was the one to reach out to me."
His scowl deepened. "How? You're not trying to claim she's a telepath?"
"No, but I could sense her," Myst muttered. "She needed to know that her mother loved her."
"A mother who loves her child doesn't abandon her."
She flinched at his deliberate attack. "I didn't . . ."
"Didn't what?" "Nothing."
He studied her pale face.
She was hiding something. But what?
"Why are you here?"
"You know why." She hunched a shoulder. "I'm here to see my daughter."
"Why?" he pressed again. "Four years ago you left her on my bed and walked away without looking back. Surely you can understand my confusion why you were struck
with a burning need to see her now."
Her lovely face, which looked far too young to be a mother, flushed at his accusation.
"Molly was traumatized when she was kidnapped." His breath hissed between his teeth.
The memory of Molly's kidnapping was still a raw wound that made him think about killing things.
"You don't have to remind me," he snapped. "We were all traumatized when she was taken."
The velvet-brown eyes widened with something that might have been confusion. "I'm not blaming you."
"Then what are you doing?" he asked.
"Trying to explain that after Molly was taken she reached out to me in terror," she said, her voice trembling as if she'd been as tormented as he'd been by her abduction. "She couldn't tell me where she was, or who'd taken her, so all I could do was try to give her comfort and swear to her that I would come and visit if she would be a good girl and do everything they told her to do until you could come for her."
Her soft words should have infuriated him. What right did she have to make promises to his daughter?
Instead, he went hunter-still. "You were so certain I would find her?"
"Yes," she said without hesitation.
He struggled to keep his face devoid of emotion at the insane flare of pleasure that raced through him at her absolute confidence in his skills.
What the hell was wrong with him?
It wasn't as if this woman's opinion mattered, did it?
"Is that why it took you a week to get here?" he snapped, angered by his ridiculous reaction to this female.
"Or were you just too busy to care that your daughter was in danger?"
Her head snapped back, an unexpected fury tightening her delicate features.
"Don't ever say I don't care about Molly," she spit out, her hands clenched into tiny balls. "I left the second I knew she'd been taken. If I hadn't had to make sure I wasn't being followed I would have—"
She bit off her impulsive words, stiffly turning to walk toward the bank of windows.
"Followed?" he instantly pounced. Was this a trick? A lame excuse for not rushing to help in the search for Molly?
"By who?"
"It doesn't matter."
Bas kept his gaze locked on the fragile profile reflected in the window.
"It does if you're in danger."
She hunched her shoulders, a visible shiver shaking her body.
"All I'm asking is a few days to spend with my daughter," she said in low tones.
Bas was moving before he could halt his forward progress, grabbing her shoulders so he could turn her to meet his searching gaze.
"I want to know why you think you're being followed," he insisted.
Her ridiculously thick lashes lowered to hide her expressive eyes. A sure sign she was about to lie.
"You're always in hiding," she muttered. "I didn't want to accidentally give away your location."
Her jaw tightened, but her gaze stayed lowered. "Can I stay?"
His grip eased on her shoulders, his fingers compulsively stroking the satin-soft skin of her back.
"For how long?" he demanded.
"A few days."
"And then you intend to disappear into the ether once again?"
Some undefinable emotion clenched his stomach at her blunt admission that she couldn't be bothered to spend more than a handful of hours with her child.
His hand moved from her shoulder to grasp her chin, tilting back her head so he could study her delicate features.
So innocent.
The face of an angel.
How the hell could she be so cruel toward her only child?
Unless . . .
"Do you have another family?" he abruptly demanded.
She blinked, as if confused by his question. "Do you mean parents or siblings?"
His lips thinned. "I'm asking if you have a husband and pack of kids. Is that why you treat Molly like a dirty secret?"
"Of course not," she breathed, a genuine outrage darkening her eyes. "And I don't treat Molly like a dirty secret."
Dropping his hands as if he'd been scalded, Bas took a step back.
He didn't want to feel a sharp-edged relief that he'd been wrong in his suspicion that Myst was already claimed by another male.
He didn't want to feel anything for this woman.
"No," he said abruptly.
"No what?" she asked in bewilderment.
"No, you can't stay," he informed, retreating behind his icy composure. "It isn't fair to Molly."
She sucked in a sharp breath, her expression stricken. "A visit from her mother isn't fair?"
"You can't just appear and disappear from her life when-ever you want." He shrugged. "It's too confusing."
"All I'm asking is a few days."
"Bas . . ." She held out a slender hand. "Please."
Her soft, pleading expression didn't touch him, he fiercely assured himself.
He was turning away and heading out of the room because he needed to check on Molly, not because he was trying to avoid the blatant yearning on her beautiful face.
And the strange emotion that was currently twisting his gut into tight knots wasn't guilt.
Or regret.
No way.
"Lock the door on your way out," he commanded, refusing to glance at her.
"I'll return in the morning," she said, the words soft but stubborn.
His steps never faltered. "You're wasting your time."
"It's my time to waste," she muttered. "I'll be back."
Bas had reached the end of the short hallway when he heard the sound of Myst's retreating footsteps, followed by the closing of the door.

Nude on the Moon: The B-52's Anthology,5 mins, 21 secs
The B-52's
If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the, Love Shack! Love Shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway, lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So come on and bring your jukebox money
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby, Love Shack bay-bee.
Love baby, that's where it's at, Oh love baby, that's where it's at
Sign says, Woo, stay away fools, 'cause love rules at the Love Shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby! Love Shack, that's where it's at!
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin', wearin' next to nothing
Cause it's hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies! The whole shack shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around!
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby
Funky little shack! Funky little shack!
Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about 20
So come on up and bring your jukebox money.
Bang bang bang on the door baby! Knock a little louder baby!
Bang bang bang on the door baby! I can't hear you
Your what? Tin roof, rusted!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love baby, that's where it's at
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin' at the love shack

Woman Faces 93 Days in Jail Over Vegetable Garden
It's summertime, so let's harvest some locally-grown, organic outrage. A Michigan woman is facing up to 93 days in jail for planting a vegetable garden in her own front yard.
Oak Park, Michigan resident Julie Bass planted the vegetable beds in her front yard because the price of organic food his so high. But the city booked Bass under a regulation that says "a front yard has to have suitable, live, plant material." Apparently people were offended that her lawn wasn't an artificially-lush, perfectly flat carpet of green grass. The city gave her a ticket, and when she didn't root up her garden they charged her with a misdemeanor.
Bass explained to a local news station: "We thought it'd be really cool to do it so the neighbors could see. The kids love it. The kids from the neighborhood all come and help."
So, she's she's admittedly trying to hook kids on the stuff? They'll be lured in with cherry tomatoes, and slowly work up to string beans. Before you know it, the kids will be vegetable junkies, bartering their Razor scooters for a hit of sweet summer squash. Sick.

Eight Companies With Cool Employee Work Perks
Work Perks To Be Jealous Of
Here's an idea: When you're done reading this article, go tell the boss you're going to go ahead and call it a day. Don't forget to grab a free beer from the break room on your way out.*
If you're like most of us, you'd probably want to polish up that resume before making a move like that. That's because most of our jobs are some combination of normal, boring, productive and/or dead-end. This fact makes it easier to complain about our workplace to friends, and who doesn't like to do that? People with great work perks, that's who.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Americans spend an average of 50 minutes commuting to work every day, where they will likely spend more time with their colleagues during the week than with their families. It helps to have some extra incentives to actually enjoy coming into the office.
Work perks can mean many things to many people, of course. One person's private company jet can be another man's red Swingline stapler. However, either you'll want to enjoy those perks vicariously through the people who get them, or they'll make you scowl in envy and complain about your job even more. Shall we see which one you are?
*Don't blame us for any negative repercussions that may occur.
Getting a 'Google'-Plex of Work Perks
Let's just get this one out of the way. As one of the most popular and innovative large companies in the world, Google brought in more than $8.5 billion in profit last year, meaning it has the pop culture state of mind and enough million-dollar bills under office seat cushions to scrounge up a remarkable work environment for its 32,467 employees.
One gets the impression that everything is free for workers -- sorry, "Googlers" -- on the Google campus. Lunch, snacks, beer and rock climbing are all provided, to name a few. Understandably, this is not all out of the kindness of Google's heart; productivity benefits when workers never leave.
"The goal is to strip away everything that gets in our employees' way," executive chairman Eric Schmidt said.
Further benefits include up to $5,000 in adoption fees reimbursement, up to $12,000 for tuition, up to $12,000 matched to your favorite charity and $500 to expense take-out meals for new parents during their 12 weeks of maternity leave.
The two cherries on your envy sundae? Employees can bring their dogs to work, and there was a company-wide 10% raise in 2010.
9-ish to 5-ish
In what should win awards for "Most Common Sense" and "It's About Time," Netflix's workday policy is rather revolutionary for a large company. There are no official work hours of any kind.
"We don't measure people by how many hours they work or how much they are in the office," the company's career site states. "We realized we should focus on what people get done, not on how many days (are) worked."
In essence, if you do your job well, you won't be forced to sit at your desk until 5 p.m. just because that's the way it's always been done. The same principle applies to vacation time, so there are no defined limits for time off as long as you complete your work.
"We try to get rid of rules when we can," the company says on its website.
Netflix is quick to point out this kind of style is not for everyone. Those who abuse the system are let go faster than you can say "Qwikster."
Keeping with the hands-off theme, there is no dress code at Netflix. The company assures that "no one comes to work naked," though it almost reads like a challenge.
Nice Shoes
A child-rearing tactic some parents use is to present their children with a new toy, and then try to convince them it would be great to give the toy to another kid. It's meant to illustrate the edifying and bonding powers of giving, but it can backfire.
That isn't the case with Las Vegas-based shoe-selling website Zappos, which seems to be trying the same tactic with its employees. As you might imagine, the grown-up version substitutes cash for toys: Employees are given monthly allowances of $50 to award to a deserving co-worker.
Management then reviews the top recipients each month for a winner to receive a $150 Zappos gift card, a covered parking spot, and an office parade complete with noisemakers in his or her honor. Also included is a cape to wear or not wear for the month.
Since a parade will tucker anyone out, nap rooms are provided. Breakfast, lunch and snacks are on the house in the office. Last year, employees were offered a session in "laughter yoga" to boost the positive state of mind and immune system.
Zappos also offers an on-site life coach and up to $6,000 in adoption-fee reimbursement, which is certainly admirable.
Water Cooler, Meet Watering Hole
After a long day at the office, the fastest and most efficient way to unwind is normally by gracing a favorite bar to build camaraderie and a little buzz with colleagues. A growing number of companies are deciding it's a good idea to bring this combination to the office.
Way ahead of the curve is the Boston Beer Co., brewers of Samuel Adams beer. In addition to monthly cake-and-beer parties to celebrate employee birthdays, all 700 workers get to choose two cases of beer to imbibe for free each month. It's certainly a good decision to be familiar with one's product.
SendGrid, an email service based in Boulder, Colo., has gone a few steps further. Yes, there's the fridge full of beers in the break room. You'll need them to wash down the freshly baked cookies once a week and burritos and tacos from the unlimited account at the Chipotle downstairs.
Don't even say it, because SendGrid has it covered with a free gym membership for all 40 local employees, a ping pong table and ski passes to work off all of that guacamole. Of course, sometimes it's good to just get away for a bit. In addition to unlimited sick time, SendGrid flew the whole office to Cancun, Mexico, this January for a "meeting."
DJ Booths and Frequent Flyers
Qwiki: More and more larger companies are offering shuttle services with Wi-Fi connections for easy -- and productive -- commutes for their employees. Tech startup Qwiki may not be large enough yet for a fleet of shuttles, but they do reimburse their employees for their transportation to the office, be it a train ticket or a free bike. Drop off your commute clothes at the company laundry and dry cleaning service, then shuffle by the office DJ booth to get in the groove for the day. Qwiki also reimburses membership dues at the gym of employees' choice.
Electronic Arts: As if working for a video game company wasn't fun enough already (it has "game" in the job description!), employees at Electronic Arts sometimes get special screenings of blockbuster movies prior to public release due to the company's high-profile entertainment partners.
Southwest Airlines: Many might decide to work at an airline for the prospect of traveling. Southwest Airlines offers what would be the dream job perk for any rolling stone: unlimited free travel on the airline. The availability extends to spouses and partners, and the offer even includes four "buddy" passes per quarter. Employees also receive discounts on partner airlines, hotels and car rentals. Maybe it's time to invite that flight attendant friend of yours over for dinner.

The sneaky cake
I've been doing a lot of food posts lately.
I must be hungry.
Anywho, in an attempt to do something a little less vegetable-y with my crazy huge zucchini harvest, I found this chocolate cake recipe.
I made it the non-spicy way, substituting chocolate chips and doubling the vanilla. And it's good.
On my first time around, I baked a single batch in a bundt pan. It made for a very thin (short?), although still completely delicious, cake. I'd suggest doubling the recipe for a prettier, more traditional looking bundt cake.
But really, a loaf pan is the way to go.
And I promise you (or your children!) will never, ever suspect there's a vegetable hidden inside.

Angrysparrow, Hetairoi and myself went up to Heflin Al last weekend to hike a short section of the Pinhoti. Our original plans went astray when I came up lame due to severe blisters from new boots and bad socks. Fortunately, Sam and John decided not to shoot me to put me out of their and my misery!
We hiked from the Pine Glen Campground to the Lower Shoals Shelter, approximately 7 miles. Since we got there late on Friday, we hiked after dark for about half those miles. And, in order to make the hike that much more difficult I decided to leave my headlamp in the truck! I hiked by the light of Sam and John's lamps. They were very patient with an old man who can't remember all his gear!
Here is a shot looking out from the shelter.
A shot of my SWT ready for a cold night.
Sam on the left and John on the right.
A shot of the shelter. Very nice place, clean, no mice and we got a regular visit from a Great Heron each day.
Looking down from the trail above the shelter.
Another shot.
Sam and John had gone on down the trail on a day hike while I rested the dogs. Upon their return we ate lunch and then gathered enough firewood for a really nice fire that lasted well into the night. The obligatory rain started around 5 pm and continued on through the night. It let up for awhile in the morning and then drizzled on us while we hiked out on Sunday.
A good time was had by all with promises to return and do the original hike plan!

Carrier IQ, the vendor and carrier-installed rootkit software pulled into the spotlight last month by security researcher Trevor Eckhart, has caused quite a stir. Carriers including AT&T and Sprint use the software as a means of collecting data logs that might help them identify and address connectivity problems and other issues, but the software's covert nature and wide range of snooping capabilities make it a concern. The good news is that detecting the software on your Android phone couldn't be easier thanks to a new app from Bitdefender called Carrier IQ Finder. Read on for more.
Android phone users can install Carrier IQ Finder [Android Market link] from within the Market for free. Once the app is installed on your smartphone, simply tap the icon to open it and you'll know in less than a second if your handset has the Carrier IQ software installed.
The bad news, however, is there's precious little you can do about it at that point if you're afraid your carrier might use the software to spy on you. The two main options — install Eckhart's removal tool Logging TestApp Pro Key [Android Market link], or install a third-party ROM — each require you to root your device, which could lead to problems if attempted by less savvy smartphone users. With the Carrier IQ related lawsuits beginning to pour in though, carriers may soon issue software updates that remove the tool from their handsets in an effort to curtail damages.
Carrier IQ software is installed by carriers in an effort to "collect enough information to understand the customer experience with devices on our network and how to devise solutions to use and connection problems," according to Carrier IQ's website. The software logs a tremendous amount of sensitive data however, and it gives carriers access to all or most of it. Exactly how each carrier uses the software remains something of a mystery, but expect plenty of light to be shed on the software in the coming weeks and months as Carrier IQ falls under the microscope.

Hi there! I've actually had a little free time to do some card-making this week, so I decided to enter a couple of challenges that Paper Crafts magazine currently has going on.
The first card is for the Paper Crafts Go-To Sketch Challenge #3. This is probably one of the quickest cards I have made in a long time.
And this second card is for the Moxie Fab World Fun with Fabric Challenge. I wasn't too sure about this color combo, but it's kinda growing on me now.
Hope you all have a great day and get a chance to do some crafting! :)

The risk of nuclear weapons being used is at its highest since World War Two, a senior U.N. security expert said on Tuesday, calling it an "urgent" issue that the world should take more seriously.
Renata Dwan, director of the U.N. Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR), said all states with nuclear weapons have nuclear modernization programs underway and the arms control landscape is changing, partly due to strategic competition between China and the United States.
Traditional arms control arrangements are also being eroded by the emergence of new types of war, with increasing prevalence of armed groups and private sector forces and new technologies that blurred the line between offence and defense, she told reporters in Geneva.
With disarmament talks stalemated for the past two decades, 122 countries have signed a treaty to ban nuclear weapons, partly out of frustration and partly out of a recognition of the risks, she said.
"I think that it's genuinely a call to recognize – and this has been somewhat missing in the media coverage of the issues – that the risks of nuclear war are particularly high now, and the risks of the use of nuclear weapons, for some of the factors I pointed out, are higher now than at any time since World War Two."
The nuclear ban treaty, officially called the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, was backed by the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017.
The treaty has so far gathered 23 of the 50 ratifications that it needs to come into force, including South Africa, Austria, Thailand, Vietnam and Mexico. It is strongly opposed by the United States, Russia, and other states with nuclear arms.
Cuba also ratified the treaty in 2018, 56 years after the Cuban missile crisis, a 13-day Cold War face-off between Moscow and Washington that marked the closest the world had ever come to nuclear war.
Dwan said the world should not ignore the danger of nuclear weapons.
"How we think about that, and how we act on that risk and the management of that risk, seems to me a pretty significant and urgent question that isn't reflected fully in the (U.N.) Security Council," she said.

Tag archives for Czech Beer Festival
Last year I booked my air tickets and took British Airways flights to Prague from London to attend the famous Czech Beer Festival, which is being held every year ever since it was founded in 2008. I had been hearing about this renowned event from my friends, who had already been to this festival in the past years and told me about their experiences and fun moments here. For some reasons, I wasn't able to make it to the festival either with my friends or individually. But, I somehow managed to visit Prague in 2012 to take part in the beer festival. It was a great experience indeed for me and I will be attending the Czech Beer Festival in 2013 as well.
This is a must visit event for beer lovers. I strongly recommend visiting it at least once. You will simply love attending this fantastic event and having great times here. I want to share my experiences at the Czech Beer Festival 2012 so that this may be of a great help to you in preparing beforehand your visit to Prague in the years ahead.
Prague is easy to reach from most parts of the world. There are many international airlines that providing cheap tickets. From most European cities, it takes nearly 2-3 hours to reach Prague. However, the flight duration from Asia, United States, Africa are long. Whether you are boarding your flights to Prague from Europe or other continents of the world, you'll simply love to participate in the Czech Beer Festival year after year.
The Czech Beer Festival is the largest beer event in the Czech Republic. Ever since its founding in 2008, the festival has become an instant hit with the native Czech people as well as people from around the world. The people in Czech Republic drink more beer per capita than anywhere else in the world. The Czech Beer Festival 2012 was held from May 17 to June 2 at Holešovice Exhibition Center in Prague. This is the most frequented place in the city which Prague citizens love the most to be around. The holding of the Czech Beer Festival here therefore made an obvious choice for the organizers.
This was the 5th edition of Czech Beer Festival. The 17-day-long festival was indeed quite eventful with fun-filled moments. I had a gala time here. The visitors to the festival were offered a selection of the best from Czech breweries, chefs, bakers and butchers. I and scores of visitors here got a chance to taste more than 70 brands of Czech beer. The beers were of top quality and were served in glass pitchers by boys and girls donning Czech national costumes.
The main focus of the Czech Beer Festival on May 21 was on gay and lesbian beer fans. The festival on May 28 celebrated the burgeoning Vietnamese population in Prague. A mass reunion of Czech expatriates from across the world was the chief feature on the second weekend of the festival, from May 25 to May 27.
It was a sheer delight attending the festival. I have already booked my flight tickets in advance and would be taking flights to Prague to attend the Czech Beer Festival being held from May 16 to June 1, 2013. Don't forget to attend this exciting and interesting festival!

My first question was answered quickly when reporters and "stakeholders" were sworn to secrecy, ushered into the Victoria Conference Centre main hall and handed a stack of papers revealing the B.C. NDP's first budget in 17 years.
Would they balance the budget, or dip into the red to finance their plan to sweep away everything from bridge tolls to medical premiums to daycare waiting lists? Premier John Horgan promised before the 2017 election to keep the books in surplus, and last week Finance Minister Carole James delivered a three-year forecast with more than $200 million left over in each year.
The sales pitch on the budget was "bold" and "historic," a dramatic departure from 16 years of cold, uncaring leadership that turned over the strongest provincial economy in the country to the new NDP-Green minority government. A closer look reveals mainly tweaks to the status quo.
The NDP had already delivered on one expensive promise, matching the B.C. Liberal pledge to cut Medical Services Plan premiums by half on Jan. 1. Canada's last direct health care fee collected $2.6 billion at its peak a year ago, and James made her biggest course correction to replace some of that revenue.
A new employers' health care tax takes effect next year for employers with payrolls of more than $500,000. Larger businesses that currently pay their employees' MSP will have to pay the new payroll tax and the MSP for a year. The B.C. government and local governments, being large employers, will pay the new tax too, so this will trickle down to you one way or another.
The foreign buyer tax on urban real estate jumps from 15 to 20 per cent. This is a tweak of the B.C. Liberal measure introduced in the summer of 2016 that caused a brief flattening of the roaring Metro Vancouver real estate market before home prices began rising again.
The tax is being extended to the Fraser Valley, Central Okanagan, Greater Victoria and Nanaimo regions. It sounds bold, but foreign property purchases outside Metro Vancouver are relatively rare.
Horgan has been softening us up for months about the supposed NDP revolution in child care. That $10-a-day promise was just a slogan created by daycare advocates, borrowed by him for the election. Now it's a 10-year plan that will eventually mean free daycare for low-income families, if you re-elect an NDP government twice.
Starting this September, parents will receive a new child care benefit of "up to $1,250" for each child under age three, if their family income is less than $111,000. Parents of older children get nothing until 2020.
This is an extension of the existing child benefit program for lower-income families. The NDP government is also adding to the existing subsidy program for child-care providers, and expanding on the last B.C. Liberal plan to fund 1,800 more spaces in 30 B.C. communities.
The pre-election promise to conjure up 114,000 housing units is another 10-year vision. James tossed out big numbers, like 14,000 new rental units for middle-income people. This mostly reinforces a widely held urban myth that the government builds housing, and that drug users wander the streets due to a shortage of apartments.
In fact the construction industry is flat out in urban areas, building rental housing among other things. It's called a market economy, and demand for rental housing is high and rising.
A more practical NDP move is the increase to the Shelter Aid For Elderly Renters (SAFER) program, which will provide an extra $930 per year to 35,000 low-income households.

Insider was wrong about reality television. The old guy figured this would just be a fad that would pass by after a few years. That's not the case. There seem to be just as many shows like Survivor, Amazing Race, Dancing with the Stars and others today as there were a few years ago. It seems they are here to stay, and Insider figures it must be about the mighty dollar. Although all of these shows give away a lot of money to the winner(s), it must pale in comparison to having to compensate those actors and actresses who make more in a 10 minutes than Insider gets in social security compensation for the year. That's all well and good if the networks want to continue to peddle this crap, but the old guy will not be jumping on the bandwagon. He will just shun the major networks and flip to the History Channel or A&E, two of his favorites these days that actually produce stuff worth watching.
You're an old-timer if: you are a Republican; a bible is in your house and you actually read it; tap water is just fine with you; one pair of jeans is enough; you still wear shoes that are 10 years old; you take a pill with each meal; you vote whenever you are called to do so; distractions are a good thing; you don't care if your socks match; you shower at night; you actually burn wood in your fireplace; you like your meat on the rare side; you eat out only on special occasions; you don't understand what it means to "go green"; you manually balance your check book; you cut your own grass; and you only carry cash.
You're a young-timer if: watching TV without a remote control is out of the question; you are a Democrat; you never use the phone book; you don't drink water out of the tap; your closest is full of jeans; you don't care about what you eat; you vote only when it's convenient and does not interfere with your busy life; you like reality television; you don't like to wear socks; relaxing means sitting in front of the television; you have a fake fireplace in your house; if everything you eat must be well done; you crave constant praise and adulation; you would rather eat out than cook at home; you pay someone to cut your grass; you trust the bank to balance your check book; reading is a chore; you think a pony tail is cool; you only carry around a charge card; and the sight of a gray hair sends you to the salon.

In Rome in the time of the Emperor Hadrian (from 117-138 a.d.), there lived a virtuous Christian widow named Sophia (Wisdom), with her three daughters: Pistis (Faith), Elpis (Hope), and Agape (Love). This God-pleasing mother instructed her children in Christian virtue from their birth. When the children were twelve, ten, and nine respectively, the whole family was brought before the Emperor for refusing to sacrifice to the Roman idols. Although tender in years, the three sisters remained steadfast in their confession of Christ, and suffered beatings, stabbings, and burning, but remained unharmed until they were at last beheaded.
These blessed daughters of the Heavenly Father awaited their martyrdom as if it were their wedding and they were going to meet their Bridegroom Christ and to live with Him forever. St. Sophia took her daughters' bodies and buried them outside of Rome, and after three days of mourning at their grave, joined them in the Heavenly Kingdom. This contemporary icon, of the young martyrs who gave up the glories of this life to receive a hundredfold in Heaven and their most-wise mother, is from Greece.

The only thing US surveillance needs to read the contents of your email, with no prior authorization whatsoever, is your email address.
The only thing US surveillance needs to read your private Facebook chat or private messages is your user name and a date range.
In fact, according to newly revealed documents given to The Guardian by Edward Snowden, one program, called XKeyscore, enables the National Security Agency (NSA) to see "nearly everything a user does on the internet".
The NSA's training materials boast about XKeyscore being its "widest-reaching" system for squeezing intelligence from the internet, The Guardian reported on Wednesday.
On that same day, senior US intelligence officials testified to the Senate judiciary committee amidst the raging debate over mass surveillance.
The Guardian once again turned to documents revealed by whistleblower Edward Snowden to detail XKeyscore.
Those documents depict how XKeyscore allows NSA analysts to search, with no prior authorization, through vast databases of emails, online chats and browsing histories of millions of individuals.
In early June, The Guardian had revealed that the NSA collects telephone records of millions of Verizon's US customers under a top-secret order issued on April 25 by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
In alerting the media regarding the phone records collection, amidst other things, Snowden in early June had made statements—published by The Guardian in this video interview—that initially sparked controversy but which have now been illuminated by the newly revealed documents.
To wit:
"Any analyst at any time can target anyone [depending on an agent's authorities]... I, sitting at my desk, certainly had the authorities to wiretap anyone, from you or your accountant, to a federal judge to even the president, if I had a personal email".
At the time, US officials vehemently denied that claim.
Mike Rogers, the Republican chairman of the House intelligence committee, said this of Snowden's assertion:
"He's lying. It's impossible for him to do what he was saying he could do."
The Guardian's account of the Xkeyscore program, if it bears out, would prove that Snowden most certainly was not lying.
While US law requires the NSA to obtain a Fisa warrant to target a "US person", no such warrant is necessary for intercepting communications between Americans and foreign surveillance targets.
But regardless of legal authority, Xkeyscore puts a dead simple interface in front of analysts that gives them the technology to enable the type of wiretapping Snowden describes, if not the legal authority.
The only thing the analysts needs, The Guardian reports, is identifying information such as an email address or an IP address.
Beyond email or IP address, the documents show that intelligence analysts can search by name, telephone number, keywords, the language in which the internet activity was conducted, or the type of browser used.
The Guardian describes one slide from a 2012 document entitled "plug-ins" that details the various fields of information that can be searched.
From The Guardian:
[The slide] includes 'every email address seen in a session by both username and domain', 'every phone number seen in a session (eg address book entries or signature block)' and user activity – 'the webmail and chat activity to include username, buddylist, machine specific cookies etc'."
The program can search within email bodies, webpages and documents, including the "To, From, CC, BCC lines" and the 'Contact Us' pages on websites".
Beyond email, analysts can search HTTP activity by keyword, which gives its analysts what the NSA calls "nearly everything a typical user does on the internet", whether it's searching terms on Wikipedia, interacting on Facebook or Twitter, or reading the news on CNN.
The amounts of data collected by the NSA with this program is "staggeringly large", The Guardian says.
In fact, XKeyscore is continually engorged by ongoing data collection to such an extent that it can only be stored for a brief time: three to five days, with metadata staying around for 30 days. The documents claim that at some sites, the amount of data collected per day—20+ terabytes—can only be stored for as little as 24 hours.
One slide shows the agency's method for handling it all: a multitiered system of four separate programs, with one each dedicated to storing metadata, "content selected from dictionary tasked items," user activity metadata, and "unique data from beyond user activity from front end full take feeds".
It is this last subset that is by far the largest, and it is stored in XKeyscore. The Guardian reports that in 2012, there were at least 41 billion total records collected and stored in XKeyscore for a single 30-day period.
In response to revelations about XKeyscore, the NSA told The Guardian that its activities are "focused and specifically deployed against—and only against—legitimate foreign intelligence targets in response to requirements that our leaders need for information necessary to protect our nation and its interests."
Its statement continues:
"XKeyscore is used as a part of NSA's lawful foreign signals intelligence collection system.
"Allegations of widespread, unchecked analyst access to NSA collection data are simply not true. Access to XKeyscore, as well as all of NSA's analytic tools, is limited to only those personnel who require access for their assigned tasks … In addition, there are multiple technical, manual and supervisory checks and balances within the system to prevent deliberate misuse from occurring."
"Every search by an NSA analyst is fully auditable, to ensure that they are proper and within the law.
"These types of programs allow us to collect the information that enables us to perform our missions successfully – to defend the nation and to protect US and allied troops abroad."
Snowden, when interviewed by The Guardian in June, portrayed those limitations and that oversight as, basically, window dressing.
He said:
"It's very rare to be questioned on our searches... and even when we are, it's usually along the lines of: 'let's bulk up the justification'."
What do you think?
Are we sick of PRISM yet, or do we still have room for outrage?
UPDATE: Criticism has immediately greeted the XKeyscore revelations.
Writing for The Week, US journalist Marc Ambinder claims that The Guardian's Glenn Greenwald misunderstood the function and the power of the tool.
Ambinder says XKeyscore is not top-secret, though collection of bulk data is perhaps classified.
Furthermore, he says, XKeyscore is not used for surveillance, and is, rather, simply a search tool for NSA databases that hold data collected through other means.
He writes:
I quibble with the Guardian's description of the program as "TOP SECRET." The word is not secret; its association with the NSA is not secret; that the NSA collects bulk data on foreign targets is, well, probably classified, but at the SECRET level. Certainly, work product associated with XKEYSCORE is Top Secret with several added caveats. Just as the Guardian might be accused of over-hyping the clear and present danger associated with this particular program, critics will reflexively overstate the harm that its disclosure would reasonably produce.
The NSA, for its part, has put out an unsurprisingly "nothing to see here, folks" press release about XKeyscore.
Some commenters are deeming Snowden hyperbolic.
Others have put out a potentially helpful guide (or opinionated spin, depending on your take) to translating the NSA's legalistic declarations.
If there really is nothing to see here, folks, my apologies for swallowing The Guardian's interpretation of XKeyscore.
Your thoughts, as always, are welcome in the comments below.

Dear Mike:
You have a good memory. The record is actually 50 starters (not including totals from 1987, when each team played three games with replacement players). In 2013, the Giants started 46 different players. That tied them with the Jacksonville Jaguars for the league's second-highest total, behind Tampa Bay, which used 47 starters.
With all the injuries we have had this year do you think the Giants will look at their training methods?
Dear Mike:
It's a big day for Mikes. This question arises after every season, because let's face it, the Giants lose several players to injuries every season. Training methods are constantly under evaluation and discussion. If it is determined that something is not working, it is eliminated or changed. But by and large, how the Giants prepare for the season is not thought to be a factor behind the injuries.

You've trained them. You've deployed simulated phishing tests. You've reminded your employees countless times with posters and games and emails about avoiding phishing scams. Still, they keep falling for the same ploys they've been warned about for years. It's enough to drive security teams to madness.
According to Verizon's 2016 Data Breach Investigation Report, 30 percent of phishing messages were opened by their intended target, and about 12 percent of recipients went on to click the malicious attachment or link that enabled the attack to succeed. A year earlier, only 23 percent of users opened the email, which suggests that employees are getting worse at identifying phishing emails -- or the bad guys are finding more creative ways to outsmart users.
The consequences of a security breach caused by human error are bigger than ever. For starters, the No. 1 inflection point for ransomware is through phishing attacks, says Stu Sjouwerman, founder and CEO of KnowBe4. What's more, a handful of competing cyber mafias "are casting their nets wider and wider," with more scams to more users, to attract more hits, he says.
A single ransomware cyber mafia was able to collect $121 million in ransomware payments during the first half of this year, netting $94 million after expenses, according to McAfee Labs' September 2016 Threats Report. Total ransomware increased by 128 percent during the first half of 2016 compared to the same period last year. There were 1.3 million new ransomware samples recorded, the highest number since McAfee began tracking it.
One look at the top five social engineering scams that employees still fall for, and it's not hard to see their appeal. Sjouwerman calls them the seven deadly social engineering vices that most employees share: Curiosity, courtesy, gullibility, greed, thoughtlessness, shyness and apathy.
Human nature may be to blame for many security breaches, but there are ways to help employees shed their bad habits and avoid these scams.
1.'Well it looked official'
Official-looking emails that appear to be work related – with subject lines such as "Invoice Attached," "Here's the file you needed," or "Look at this resume" -- still have employees stumped, experts say.
A survey by Wombat Technologies found that employees were more cautious when receiving "consumer" emails regarding topics like gift card notifications, or social networking accounts, than they were with seemingly work-related emails. A subject line that read, "urgent email password change request," had a 28 percent average click rate, according to the report.
"Most people are not going to look really closely to know where that email came from, and they click on it and their machine may be taken over by somebody, or infected," says Ronald Nutter, online security expert and author ofThe Hackers Are Coming, How to Safely Surf the Internet.
"Especially when you're exchanging files with subcontractors or partners on a project, you really should be using a secure file transfer system so you know where the file came from and that it's been vetted." He also cautions recipients to be wary of any file that asks the user to enable macros, which can lead to a system takeover.
In the absence of a secure file transfer system, users should hover their cursor over email addresses and links before they click to see if the sender and type of file are legitimate, he adds.
2. 'You missed a voicemail!'
Scammers have been trying to install malicious software through emails designed to look like internal voicemail service messages since 2014. Businesses often have systems set up to forward audio files and messages to employees, which is convenient but hard for users to discern as a phishing hoax.
Today, "The voicemail is a spoofed Microsoft or Cisco kind of voicemail," Sjouwerman says. "They go to their in-box and there is a voicemail, but they missed it and then open the attachment. [Spoofers] can catch practically anyone with that," and not just the accounting department where invoice scams are sent, he adds.
3. Free stuff
Most employees can't resist free stuff – from pizza to event tickets to software downloads – and they'll click on just about any link to get it, phishing experts say.
"Nothing is truly ever free," Nutter says. "We're starting to see again where you'll get a link saying, 'Here's free software.' It could be something that's actually out there already for free, but they're sending you through their website, which means you may be getting infected or compromised software."
Adding to the danger, "A lot of these download sites are bundling [software], and you also have to download something else that you don't even want," Nutter adds. "If it compromises your security setup, now you've just opened Pandora's box."
He recommends first checking to see if your organization has already licensed the software, or if it's truly free software, then go directly to the software vendor's website to download.
4. Fake LinkedIn invitations and Inmail
One of the commonly repeated scams that Proofpoint is seeing involves fraudulent employee accounts on LinkedIn that are being used for information gathering, says Devin Redmond, vice president and general manager of digital security and compliance.
For instance, someone creates a fake LinkedIn account posing as a known member of a project team or even a company executive. "It looks very legitimate and that person does work for the organization. [The imposter] connects with you, you accept and they start communicating with you," Redmond says. "As the employee, if it's an executive account that you're linked to, you're happy and excited that this executive is communicating with you, and you start to, unknowingly, give information that's sensitive or private to the organization." Meanwhile, the information is being used as a broader campaign to gather sensitive information on the company.
Redmond suggests that if a colleague asks to connect on any social network, then email their legitimate work address and ask if they've requested to connect with you. "It's an easy way to keep yourself out of hot water," he adds.
5. Social media surfing at work
Employees who surf Facebook, Twitter and a host of other social media sites can potentially open the door for cyber thieves because the scams require less work for them, and it's also a relatively new area of awareness training for employees.
"Think about that ROI from the bad actors' perspective," Redmond says. "Instead of having to send 1,000 emails (to get one hit), I can get them to my page with one post."
Social media's cyber risk is still a topic that employees understand the least – with an average of 31 percent of questions missed regarding security awareness on the topic, according to Wombat. However, 76 percent of organizations surveyed enable employees to use social media on their work devices. This puts organizations at significant risk considering the lack of understanding in the area.
"I speculate the reasons why organizations are doing so poorly is it's still fairly relatively new," says CTO Trevor Hawthorn. "We're also seeing a younger workforce. There is a belief in the industry that those employees will just click on anything. I think there is something to that."

The "People's Pledge" was less than perfect, but does not deserve the scorn of Jeff Jacoby's Jan. 9 op-ed column " 'Pledge' stifled speech, but didn't make Warren-Brown race less nasty."
We could argue about the lack of civility during the campaign, but the pledge never promised civility. It promised candidate accountability if either wanted to take the campaign negative. That was unquestionably achieved.
More important, it ensured political spending disclosure, far from a guarantee in the world of super PACs and dark money. Equally important, it rightly limited the ability of big political spenders from gaining undue favors from our US senator.
The near universal praise for the pledge does not indicate support for stifling political speech, but rather opposition to big-money outside groups drowning out the voices of average voters, often without proper disclosure.
State and federal legislators should act on this support and pass strengthened disclosure legislation and ultimately a constitutional amendment to end unlimited election spending.

Exclusive copy of Connect Point Group Business Plan, which reveals the full extent of the proposed scam involving Fraser Eagle. 8 of the Fraser Eagle companies have been placed in administration, whilst one has been renamed to Connect Point.
This business plans shows the plan to transfer the existing client, customer & supplier base outside of the administrator & owners of Fraser Eagle, whilst almost 200 staff have been made redundant and suppliers are owed millions.
The entire Fraser Eagle group of companies had a turnover of around 33 million pounds, yet just one of their companies - Fraser Eagle Limited - had commitments to suppliers of over 2 million pounds every month. Certain suppliers are owed almost 360,000 pounds, yet Connect Point are trying to deceive their suppliers into working for them without revealing their links - or paying what's owed already.
It is imperative this document is released immediately, as Connect Point are currently recruiting suppliers that are not aware the company is a 'front' for a phoenix scheme run by Fraser Eagle's Managing Director, Kevin Dean.See the blog http://gigglemal.com/ for additional information related to the collapse of Fraser Eagle.

At 135m, The London Eye is the world's largest cantilevered observation wheel. It was conceived and designed by Marks Barfield Architects and was launched in 2000. It has won over 85 awards for national and international tourism, outstanding architectural quality and engineering achievement. In fact, it has become the UK's most popular paid for visitor attraction. A remarkable feat of design and engineering, the London Eye gave London's skyline a dramatic new addition and has been offering guests a new perspective on London ever since. Originally, it was intended as a temporary structure, able to be dismantled and transported to a new location, and had planning permission for just five years. But with millions boarding it every year, its popularity has prompted its lease to be extended. Today it is a permanent fixture on the London skyline and a beautiful symbol of modern London. The London Eye belongs to the Merlin Entertainments Group. Merlin Entertainments is the largest European entertainments company operating in Europe. Our aim is to deliver unique, memorable and rewarding experiences to millions of visitors across the Globe.

Accessing files on disk with RienaLocations
The class
org.eclipse.riena.core.RienaLocations with static methods
getDataArea() and
getDataArea(Bundle) should be the single place that manages and knows about where to read/write files on disk.
Always use RienaLocations when you need to read or write application-specific data (e.g. user settings or custom caches) to/from disk.
See package
Util classes
All in package
org.eclipse.riena.core.util. See the source files for a complete list of methods and the inline Javadoc for more information.
Helper for arrays.
public static <T> T[] copyRange(T[] source, int from, int to)
- Copy from the given source array from index from to index to into a newly-created array of the same type with size to - from.
Helper for I/O operations, e.g.
public static void copyFile(File from, File to) throws IOException
This helper provides conversions from classes only implementing
Iterator or
Enumeration such that they can be used within the extended for()-loop (foreach).
All the
able() methods can be used with a
null parameter. So, explicitly checking for
null is not necessary!
Note: All these methods induce a small performance penalty.
String[] strings = null; for (String s : Iter.able(strings)) { ... }
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer("this is a test"); for (String str : Iter.able(st, String.class)) { ... }
Use this to explicitly document do-nothing behavior, e.g. in empty try-catch clauses:
Nop.reason("do nothing, can happen if some other bundle registered this service");
Helps with converting string representation of maps and lists to their Java counterparts.
Provides static methods that allow a grovvy-like experience for calling methods, setting and getting fields and creating instances. Both on accessible, i.e. public and inaccessible elements. And everything without fiddling around with the reflection API.
URLClassLoader sysloader = (URLClassLoader) ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader(); URL url = new URL("file:c:\\"); ReflectionUtils.invokeHidden(sysloader, "addURL", url);
Offers static convenience methods like:
public static boolean isGiven(final CharSequence sequence)
- the counterpart to
public static boolean isEmpty(final CharSequence sequence)
public static boolean isDeepEmpty(final String string)
- like isEmpty, with the difference that whitespace-only strings are considered empty.
public static boolean equals(final CharSequence sequence1, final CharSequence sequence2)
- null-safe equals
WeakRef simplifies the usage of WeakReferences. It provides a simple API that allows to define a notification callback which gets called when the target object is about to be reclaimed by the garbage collector. This is useful for objects (targets) that do not have a dedicated life cycle but need some sort of finalization action when no longer used.
targetRef = new WeakRef<Object>(target, new Runnable() { public void run() { stop(); } });
To access the target you have to use
object = targetRef.get(); if ( object != null ) { // .. do something }
The null check is required because the target might have gone away.

SC Supreme Court throws out lawsuit on sales taxes
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The South Carolina Supreme Court has thrown out a lawsuit challenging billions of dollars in sales tax exemptions.
The high court ruled Wednesday that Richland County resident Matthew Bodman did not have a reason to sue and failed to make his case anyway.
The justices say his arguments wrongly focused on the sheer number of tax exemptions and limits, rather than their worthiness.
But Chief Justice Jean Toal seemed to invite lawyers to try again. Toal stressed the ruling does not preclude a future challenge on the constitutionality of specific exemptions.
She says many could not survive even a minimum level of scrutiny.
Attorney Dick Harpootlian says his firm is considering its options.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Brian White says the ruling removes a cloud from the budget.

Shop a classic tale in gorgeous hand-bound leather. A seductive, wistful masterpiece, Truman Capote created a woman whose name has entered the American idiom and whose style is a part of the literary landscape.
Holly Golightly knows that nothing bad can ever happen to you at Tiffany's; her poignancy, wit, and naïveté continue to charm. This volume also includes three of Capote's best-known stories, "House of Flowers," "A Diamond Guitar," and "A Christmas Memory," which the Saturday Review called "one of the most moving stories in our language." It is a tale of two innocents—a small boy and the old woman who is his best friend—whose sweetness contains a hard, sharp kernel of truth.

The human eye and brain together translate light into color. Light receptors within the eye transmit messages to the brain, which produces the familiar sensations of color.
Newton observed that color is not inherent in objects. Rather, the surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others. We perceive only the reflected colors.
Thus, red is not "in" an apple. The surface of the apple is reflecting the wavelengths we see as red and absorbing all the rest. An object appears white when it reflects all wavelengths and black when it absorbs them all.
Red, green and blue are the additive primary colors of the color spectrum. Combining balanced amounts of red, green and blue lights also produces pure white. By varying the amount of red, green and blue light, all of the colors in the visible spectrum can be produced.
Considered to be part of the brain itself, the retina is covered by millions of light-sensitive cells, some shaped like rods and some like cones. These receptors process the light into nerve impulses and pass them along to the cortex of the brain via the optic nerve.
Have you ever wondered why your peripheral vision is less sharp and colorful than your front-on vision? It's because of the rods and cones. Rods are most highly concentrated around the edge of the retina.There are over 120 million of them in each eye. Rods transmit mostly black and white information to the brain. As rods are more sensitive to dim light than cones, you lose most color vision in dusky light and your peripheral vision is less colorful. It is the rods that help your eyes adjust when you enter a darkened room.
Cones are concentrated in the middle of the retina, with fewer on the periphery. Six million cones in each eye transmit the higher levels of light intensity that create the sensation of color and visual sharpness. There are three types of cone-shaped cells, each sensitive to the long, medium or short wavelengths of light. These cells, working in combination with connecting nerve cells, give the brain enough information to interpret and name colors.
The human eye can perceive more variations in warmer colors than cooler ones. This is because almost 2/3 of the cones process the longer light wavelengths (reds, oranges and yellows).
About 8% of men and 1% of women have some form of color impairment. Most people with color deficiencies aren't aware that the colors they perceive as identical appear different to other people. Most still perceive color, but certain colors are transmitted to the brain differently.
The most common impairment is red and green dichromatism which causes red and green to appear indistinguishable. Other impairments affect other color pairs. People with total color blindness are very rare.
Birds, fish and many other mammals perceive the full spectrum. Some insects, especially bees, can see ultraviolet colors invisible to the human eye. In fact, color camouflage, one of nature's favorite survival mechanisms, depends on the ability of the predator to distinguish colors. The predator is expected to be fooled by the color matching of the prey. Until recently, it was thought that dogs didn't see any color at all. Recent studies now show, however, that dogs can differentiate between red and blue and can even pick out subtle differences in shades of blue and violet.

Emerging Leaders Series: Community Leader Spotlight on Project PLASE
- When:
- Location:
- Student Center
- Room:
- 301
- http://www.ubalt.edu/bemore
- Description:
The level of poverty in Baltimore City is astounding, with one in four residents living below the poverty line. As Maryland is one of the wealthiest states in the United States, these statistics are particularly disparaging. Unfortunately, on any given night, about 4,000 of Baltimore's citizens are homeless. Moreover, homeless populations tend to have coexisting illnesses and psychiatric disorders that require regular, uninterrupted treatment that is not viable without first establishing the stability of adequate housing.
RSVP now as space is limited.
Kristen Kearby is the Director of Development and Communications at Project PLASE. Crystle Barfield is a student at UB, a previous intern at Project PLASE, and an advocate for those currently experiencing homelessness.
Project PLASE serves the most vulnerable individuals among Baltimore's homeless population, people facing substantial barriers to gaining housing. We believe that each individual can overcome the hardships of life and experience a sense of wholeness with a stable place to call home, ample access to resources, and the ability to direct the process of our own growth and healing. To help homeless individuals reach these ends, Project PLASE provides our clients with stable housing, personalized case management, individual and group counseling, skills training, and physical health care. We treat, restore, and rehabilitate the whole person and empower each individual to function at the highest level possible.
Be More is UB's leadership and community engagement program. It enhances student learning through impactful leadership development and civic engagement experiences. Be More encourages students to take advantage of leadership opportunities, leverage their talents and strengths, and engage on a deep level with their community.
