Feb 25, 2018 - Economy & Business
Journalist Frank Bruni opens up about losing his sight
N.Y. Times columnist Frank Bruni, on the cover of the Sunday Review section, "Am I Going Blind?":
"They say that death comes like a thief in the night. ... The affliction that stole my vision, or at least a big chunk of it, did so as I slept. I went to bed seeing the world one way. I woke up seeing it another."
- "This was about four months ago ... I ... experienced what is colloquially called 'a stroke of the eye,' whereby the optic nerve is ravaged by a brief reduction of blood flow and thus oxygen."
- "The name for this condition is nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (N.A.I.O.N.), and it afflicts perhaps one in 10,000 Americans."
- "This tends to occur after the age of 50. (I'm 53.)"
- "There was nothing I could do — no diet, no exercise, zilch — to influence the outcome."
- "[I]n the middle of the night, when my bladder screamed, I hesitated before opening my eyes."
- "For the moment my handicaps are minor. ... My typos have multiplied. My texting is a joke."
- "I found myself taking inventory of the obstacles and upsets that people I knew were dealing with. There were children with autism. Parents with Alzheimer's. Financial crises. Career disasters. Addiction. Abuse."
Why it matters: "How much else lurked beneath the surface? Show me someone with a seemingly unbroken stride and unfettered path. More often than not, he or she is hampered and haunted in ways that you can't imagine."

Part 1 of 2: Salmon Spawning on Still Creek
On a beautiful October day, Still Creek was full of autumnal magic. The sunlight shone through the golden foliage, twinkled on the rippling clear water, and illuminated– what is that? The silhouettes of giant fish swimming through shallow pools! Spring Chinook salmon are spawning and it is a sight to behold.
[Video of Howard Schaller & Katelyn Hale discussing spring Chinook salmon in Still Creek.]
Council member Howards Schaller joined me on a tour of Still Creek, a tributary of Sandy River located near the town of Rhododendron, OR, over 100 river miles upstream from the Pacific Ocean. Why are we here? In the late 1990s, Sandy River partners identified Still Creek on their list of priority streams for restoring Sandy River salmon habitat. In fact, Still Creek was identified as one of the highest priority streams for restoring wild Chinook salmon in the Sandy River basin by its partners in 2006. Multiple partners, including SRWC, implemented restoration projects over the past two decades, including our salmon habitat restoration project in 2013.
As we walked upstream, Howard pointed out the results of various habitat restoration projects to keep the stream and its banks a complex place. These include placing large pieces of wood in the stream to provide fish with protection from predators. It also includes restoring native stream-side trees and shrubs, which provides shade to keep stream water cool. These different types of restoration projects make it great for spawning salmon and their eggs that hatch the next spring.
Log weirs
A 'weir' is low, human-made dam that helps regulate the flow of a creek. These weirs were built to create deep pools and areas of slower-moving water. These pools are where salmon migrating up or downstream can rest and hide from predators.
See how this giant log looks like it just fell over?
Take another look: at the base of the tree. There's a metal cable drilled through the trunk.
This log, with its rootwad attached, was flown in here with a helicopter. These projects were done to restore natural processes of a dynamic landscape. In fact, we saw a few trees that had blown over in the windstorm last month. These fallen trees will also impact the flow of the stream and provide lots of cover for juvenile salmon. Howard & I observed multiple adult salmon upstream of the jams, and were happy to see that these new log jams were passable by these amazing fish.
Log jams
Log jams are another common restoration tactic we use. These are large structures made of logs and tree root wads that create many different benefits throughout the seasons. Log jams help absorb the energy of a stream, slowing it down and stopping erosion in key areas. Log jams are great for fish habitat, too. They often also give migrating salmon & trout a place to rest, create good habitat for the insects they eat, and provide protective cover for juvenile salmon.
For more info on why log jams are the jam, check out our educational short video another one of our project sites not far from Still Creek.
Like many tributaries of the Sandy River, including the Sandy itself, Still Creek is a dynamic body of water. The creek often floods its surrounding area. This of course is a natural phenomenon, yet climate change is impacting those patterns. Fast waters move boulders, rocks downstream. Erosion occurs, but that is where more cobble and gravel come from. These restoration projects are "designed to be dynamic," Howard says. Instead of fighting natural processes with dams, pipes, and other constraining infrastructure, we aim to work with natural energies and processes. We aim to keep things dynamic, so that these amazingly resilient animals can thrive.
Thank you Howard Schaller for your time and edits.

Clea Grady from Veganuary makes the case for adopting your next pet instead of buying…
I have lived with animals all my life. The first word out of my mouth was the name of our first dog, Emma – a gentle Airedale terrier my parents bought from a breeder. Our second family dog, Beau – a bear-like Briard – was also a pedigree and like a brother to me.
Our next dogs, Honey and Denny, were inherited when we moved house and were sweet little rescues. (But I never really made any connection, being so young.) And our fifth family dog, a Bichon called Dougie, came from a pet shop. We went into the shop on a whim and he was the only one there… We left with him in our arms about an hour later.
It was only when I started living on my own that I encountered the concept of rescuing animals. I'd always longed for a cat and I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked into the RSPCA. So many cats! Big cats, pretty cats, terrified cats, territorial tom cats, poorly cats and tiny cats. Cats literally everywhere, and that's when I started to question things…
How on earth were there so many here? How could I choose just one? But one was all I could manage at the time, so I chose a lonely looking tabby, who was scowling down at everyone like an owl. I called her Hoot; my first cat, my first rescue, and the animal who would lead me down the path to where I am now.
Adopting is the way
I've started with some background because I 'get' it. Just like I once ate meat and cheese and eggs and fish, I also once lived with companion animals who were purchased rather than rescued.
The love you feel for an animal is not dependent on his or her origin, and we can love an animal who was obtained from a breeder as fiercely as we might love one who has been ill-treated and abused, or dumped, or forgotten.
When I say I am passionate about rescuing animals and we should all be adopting rather than buying them, I am not condemning anyone. I am certainly not suggesting you shouldn't love your current companion animal(s), or that they are in any way 'lesser than'. But I am saying there is another way, and that way should be the only way, for many reasons.
It doesn't take much digging to discover how many unwanted animals there are out there. The Stray Dog Survey confirmed that 47,596 dogs were left behind in council pounds and remained unclaimed by their owners in 2014-15.
Rescue centres up and down the country are bursting at the seams because people are dumping, abusing, or simply handing over their animals when a situation changes. And what happens when these shelters can take no more?
Well that's when we learn about the victims of the kill lists… the doubly unwanted. Animals who are abandoned and not re-homed quickly enough are killed, even though they are healthy, friendly and perfectly suited to being companions.
The Dog Rescue Federation estimates that around 20,000 mutts are destroyed each year in the UK alone, simply because no one wants them and the demand for space never stops.
In 2016, the CEO of the much-loved Battersea Dogs and Cats Home admitted that "1,200 of the 5,000 dogs that came in we had to put to sleep"; a statistic that doesn't make it into the TV show. These are ugly numbers for a nation of supposed dog lovers, and I haven't even started talking about the poor cats.
Being prepared
Thousands of animals are being dumped and killed year-on-year, yet still we buy. Why? People I know and love have gone out and bought a puppy or kitten, because they want to 'train them from scratch' or somehow mould their personalities.
The irony is that rescue centres are overwhelmed with puppies and kittens, especially after Christmas and often with 'designer breeds'. People buy a cute little thing thinking it's all going to be sunshine and roses and then realise that an untrained, young animal is actually a lot of hard work. Another irony is that a slightly older animal, who is already house-trained, might have been a more suitable companion from the get-go.
I adopted both my dogs at about four years old and my two cats at about 18 months and – having had a puppy before – can confirm that settling these animals into our home was far easier than when my family bought Dougie.
Furthermore, too many people fail to get their animals spayed or neutered, so abandoned pups and cats are free to impregnate or get pregnant. Pregnant cats are especially common as females are fertile at a young age. Many of them end up in shelters with bulging bellies and their kittens are born into rescue. If you want a puppy or a kitten you will find plenty if you choose to adopt.
The other thing I know people worry about is that rescue animals are 'difficult'. That they are so damaged that they're effectively beyond repair and will be more of a nightmare than a companion. Let's put a stop to that rumour right now.
Yes, it is true that there are some animals who have had so many devastating things done to them that they are broken, terrified and ill and, sometimes, aggressive. But what you may not be aware of is how many of these problems are addressed and worked through by the rescue centres, and usually before you even know the animals are available for adoption.
Rescues are run by passionate people who have often fallen into rescuing because of a love of animals and witnessing a need. The Founders of the Soi Dog Foundation, for example, moved to Thailand to retire, but when they saw the street dog situation for themselves, they felt compelled to act.
What began as a caring couple trying to help a few dogs is now a huge organisation rescuing animals from the dog meat trade, as well as the streets, sending dogs out for adoption all over the world, and carrying out comprehensive neutering and spaying programmes. Rescue people know the animals in their care through and through, and this is one of the things I love most.
Personality traits
We adopted two of our three cats before we had either of our dogs. When my husband fell in love with greyhounds, we were told it would take a long time to find a suitable dog, as these animals are bred to chase small furries. But, as we didn't care about anything else other than the dog being 'cat friendly', we found ourselves adopting Cosmo about a fortnight after submitting our application.
Cosmo is a lurcher; part greyhound, part collie and definitely part human. He'd had about five or six homes by the time he came to us; moved from pillar-to-post through no fault of his own (marriage break-ups and relocation).
He's the most affectionate and reliable dog with bags of personality and everybody (and I mean everybody) loves him. The organisation we adopted him from knew his history and personality, and his foster mum confirmed he had no problem living with cats. This sort of insight into an animal is something very specific to rescue and one of the huge advantages in my opinion.
A breeder knows nothing of an animal's personality and quirks when they hand you a tiny puppy or kitten. In contrast, a good rescue will know everything, or everything they can possibly know. What's more, reputable rescues only put animals up for adoption when they are ready to be re-homed, not when it suits the owner or when an animal is worth the most money.
So your potential dog or cat will have been neutered/spayed, had all his/her relevant injections, been taken through all sorts of behavioural checks and had any illnesses treated.
One of my favourite dog rescues, Greyhound Gap, says they will find the dog who is right for your family (and vice versa), and they will not re-home a dog unless they are absolutely confident of a match. This is a big selling point in my opinion – you will find the best animal for you and your situation. It's actually far less of a 'lottery' than buying from a breeder!
Growing with your pet
Currently, I live with three cats and two dogs. Often people say things like "Oh , are they rescues? Well done you", which always leaves me feeling slightly bemused. It's as though I've done something special or selfless in choosing to rescue them, but it honestly doesn't feel that way, because they give me so much in return.
Our greyhound, Rosie, is a rescued ex-racing hound and had an awful first four years on this planet. She's missing half her tail and couldn't even walk up and down stairs when we first adopted her (a racer's only life experience is concrete pen, to van, to track and back again).
She was fearful of people (especially men), quick movements, loud noises and had no idea how to play. Watching her learn to trust has been a joy. Three years on, she is a happy and fun companion and I honestly feel like I have grown as a person because of her. She's experienced the worst of people, yet loves us fiercely. Animals constantly amaze me in their capacity to forgive.
I've really only begun to scratch the surface on the subject of animal adoption. I've quoted some shocking statistics, but these don't include, for example, the beagles rescued from animal testing labs or the 9,000+ greyhounds who go unaccounted for every year – those who don't make it into the rescue records at all, because they're either shot or dumped and left to die, often with their ears cut off so they can't be identified by their tattoos.
I've not yet talked about cats, and the figures are astounding and saddening. Abandoned, stray and feral cats are a huge and ever-growing problem, and more often than not the existing rescue centres exclaim that they 'can take no more'.
Cats also seem to be regarded as even more disposable than dogs, with many people dumping family cats on shelters whenever their situation changes (instead of looking to re-home them themselves). And every spring the annual call goes out to discourage people from buying bunnies. There's a huge spike in dumped rabbits post-Easter, as people realise their little cottontail is an animal with needs and not just a cuddly toy.
In short, rescue animals need us. They are trapped in a situation that is not of their doing and, in choosing to buy, we condemn another animal to death. I believe it is our duty to help if we can and the rewards really are boundless. Please adopt, don't shop.
A few things to consider…
- Learn about animals – they are a lifelong commitment and you should know what you're letting yourself in for. Most organisations and shelters welcome volunteers and dog walkers – a great opportunity to enhance your knowledge and help out at the same time.
- Don't regard home checks as a test – good rescues will perform home checks as part of the adoption process. Your home and lifestyle need to be right for the animal and these checks are designed to make re-homing as stress-free as possible (for everyone).
- Do your homework – social media is great, as most organisations and shelters have groups and pages on Facebook. You can interact with people who've adopted animals, ask questions, learn about the organisation's ethos and read some wonderful anecdotes!
- Don't rush – finding the right animal for you may take time and this is a good thing. Companion animals are a privilege, not a right.
- Be honest – with yourself and the rescue centre about what you can handle. Don't commit to anything you're not 100% confident of.
- Ask questions – ask as many as you need. If in doubt, ask more!
- Make sure you get pet insurance – this is really important and could save you a huge amount of money in the long-run.

Fernando's Experience Working at "The Park":
"I reached a professional level I never thought I would achieve. Nothing like waking up and going to work to play music."
What I Have Learned From Fernando:
Usually when someone tells you how unbelievably awesome a movie is, it becomes impossible for it to live up to the hype. I heard about Fernando long before I met him, and Fernando is that rare quality "movie" that didn't disappoint. I have never had the good fortune to work with anyone as metronomically meticulous or contemptibly competent as Fernando. He has reminded me that we are all better off being surrounded by co-workers who challenge us to grow and be better, and in his case particularly in the area tempo. Fernando appears to be naturally gifted in the area of tempo/inner pulse (and he might be), but I have also witnessed prior to many shows him reviewing and reinforcing the tempo for every song that we are about to perform. I have too often had the jazz mentality that I would just "feel it" when we got on set, but some (maybe all?) gigs really demand that you do your "metronome homework" so that you aren't winging it on stage, and thereby ending up with a tempo that has the potential to crash the band. It is incredibly unfortunate that Fernando has had to stop working as a performer at Disneyland due to irreparable nerve damage, but I know that the positive affects he has had on myself and countless other drummers in his pursuit of excellence will last for many years to come.

Billy Pauch Jr. Mines 'Anthracite Assault' STSS $5,250 Victory at Big Diamond Speedway
Written by Bobby Sweeney
MINERSVILLE, PA – Billy Pauch Jr. took advantage of Jimmy Horton's battle with lapped traffic and the cushion, stealing the lead late in the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco 'Anthracite Assault' at Big Diamond Speedway.
The $5,250 win is Pauch's third with the STSS, going along with victories in 2016 and 2019. The Big Diamond win marks the third track – and state – the Milford, N.J., driver has conquered with the series.
Pauch's total payout included the $5,000 posted purse, $200 in cash plus product from Mat Mike Tools LLC and $50 as the Bill Brown & Company Heat-Race Hard Charger.
A large crowd took in the event, which features the only combined STSS Modified Velocita-USA South Region presented by Design for Vision and Sunglass Central and Halmar International North Region point event of the season.
Horton and Pauch led the field to the green for the 50-lap main event following the Beyea Custom Headers Redraw, with Horton getting the best of Pauch at the start. The early stages of the event were slowed by cautions, notably a lap three red flag for Stewart Friesen flipping, and a lap seven yellow for Matt Sheppard breaking. Following a lap 11 multi-car tangle, the race finally got a green flag feel.
Horton and Pauch separated themselves from third place Mike Gular, who was under heavy pressure from Ryan Godown. After a battle, Godown took third from Gular on lap 16, but was already three seconds behind the top two. Up front, Horton had a steady one-second lead as the race neared halfway, but traffic on the three-eighths-mile oval was soon to plague the frontrunners.
While Pauch initially closed in at halfway, Horton worked traffic masterfully to reestablish a comfortable gap. A bobble on lap 30 erased any comfort Horton had, but as before, Horton pulled away. With fifteen laps left, Horton looked strong and steady out front.
On lap 39, Horton hopped the cushion while working over a lapped car, and Pauch jumped at the chance. Pauch dove low while Horton struggled to regain his footing, with Pauch taking the lead.
Pauch's Rick Holsten-owned No. 96 ran away once he got clean air, but a lap 41 yellow for third place Godown halted his pace. This put Gular back in third, and Horton was left to fend off Gular on the restart. Pauch darted away, but a final yellow on lap 46 set up a single-file restart.
Pauch went high, Horton higher, and Gular low, but all three cars were essentially matched on speed. After a flawless final laps, it was Pauch grabbing his third STSS Modified win in the 50-lap Anthracite Assault.
"I was starting to catch him a little bit, I was riding around for a while there saving my stuff," Pauch Jr. said. "Jimmy is phenomenal, him and my dad (Billy Sr.) are the best in the business in my book, so it was awesome to see him run well and battle with him. I knew I had to get on it after Mike Mallett (from Dirt Track Digest) was telling me how hard I've stepped on it twice this week. There's a lot of people here tonight, I'm glad dirt racing is continuing to thrive though all of this. I'm thankful for a lot of people, I'm just happy to be here."
Horton was credited with 39 laps led on the evening. While second is a strong run paying $3,000, Neshanic Station, N.J.'s Horton was understandably disappointed after not leading the most important lap driving the Halmar International No. 43.
"We got a little loose at the end," Horton stated. "We got into traffic and they were in our way some. We had to search for a way by, and we killed our tires searching. Sometimes it's better to be second, and we have to get a little better ourselves. Even then, this is the best we've been in some time."
Gular, of Boyertown, Pa., spent much of the race in fourth, but slipped into third after Godown's issues. While Pauch and Horton ripped the top, Gular was way down low at the end of the event and nearly stole some extra spots driving the Terry Fasnacht No. 2A.
"I was hoping the top would get wide, but it didn't get wide enough," said Gular. "We were digging on the bottom, but we just didn't have quite the car we needed to win. Finding the last little bit to get those wins is hard, and that's what we're looking for."
Wallkill, N.Y.'s Tyler Dippel drove the Bill Pascual-owned No. 3 from 15th on the grid to finish fourth and Richie Pratt Jr. of Woodbury Heights, N.J., completed the front five in the Daniel Sommeling No. 51.
Finishing sixth through 10th, respectively, were Jeff Strunk of Boyertown, Pa., in the Glenn Hyneman No. 126; Andy Bachetti of Sheffield, Mass., after running inside the top-five; David Van Horn Jr. of Ringoes, N.J.; Jared Umbenhauer of Richland, Pa., driving for Rick Clay after starting 29th (dead last) on the field; and Mike Mahaney of Kings Ferry, N.Y., aboard the Olum's No. 33.
Forty-five STSS Modifieds took part in the program.
Tim Hartman Jr. took an unexpected victory in the accompanying 25-lap STSS Crate 602 Sportsman main event. Hartman Jr. started 18th and was involved in an early race tangle. However, a number of cautions played into the Niskayuna, N.Y., driver's hands as he advanced back through the field in a rough-and-tumble 25-lap main.
Utilizing a high-side run with two circuits remaining, Hartman Jr. swept past race-long leader Michael White coming to steal the $1,553 top prize including the Evergreen Fuels Inc. 'Low Temperature' Bonus.
Delaware native White was searching for his first-career STSS victory and had led the race from the outset, ultimately settling for second. Joe Toth, who made a go-for-broke topside charge on the final restart, Sammy Martz Jr. and Danny Buccasfusca completed the front five.
The event served as race No. 3 of the STSS Crate 602 Sportsman South Region point battle. Thirty-six Crate 602 Sportsman signed in for action.
The next scheduled event for the STSS is Wednesday, July 1 at N.Y.'s Fonda Speedway featuring both the STSS Modifieds and STSS Crate 602 Sportsman of the Halmar International North Region.
Big Diamond Speedway is a three-eighths-mile clay oval located in Minersville, Pa., just miles from Pottsville.

STEAM (Science, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) has become a broadly recognized method of teaching all over the globe. There are many schools and organizations that are involved with it and they adopt it into their teaching. TEFL community in Greece has become more and more creative over the last years and tries to perform new, innovative methods in their curriculum to improve their teaching skills. In this paper, there will be discussed some of the benefits of STEAM not in education in general but in the field of TEFL. Although STEAM has been used as a supplementary way of teaching across the units, as additional activities in lessons or even as a final step of a unit in coursebooks, it hasn't been seen as the basic curriculum yet. But the truth is that vocabulary, grammar and all of the four skills can be taught all based on STEAM. For instance, instead of doing a color experiment as a final step when the learners have learnt the colors, do an experiment for the students to learn the colors.
Text by Konstantina Karamouta - BA Hons English Language and English Language Teaching
Teaching young and very young learners demands effort, lots of lesson planning and new and innovative ideas all the time. I have started making lesson plans and building materials based on STEAM for the last few months and I have incorporated it into my curriculum for young learners. At first, I was terrified of how to manage all the demanding outcomes that the young learners should have, but by working on it over and over again I managed to have outstanding lesson materials and outstanding results- more than I could ever imagine. Young learners are curious learners, they want to explore, to have enthusiasm, to become creative and so much more that STEAM can offer. By using STEAM into the curriculum, learners become engineers, scientists, artists, photographers, actors/actresses, mathematicians, they develop their cognitive skills, their critical thinking, their creativity! Since young learners have a natural disposition toward science with their sense of curiosity and creativity, STEAM offers them great opportunities to dive into these two.
A STEAM approach helps teachers to create experiences into their teaching and this is what we are looking for in the field of education in the 21st century. ''STEAM is important because it helps teachers to incorporate multiple disciplines at the same time and promotes learning experiences that allow children to explore, question, research, discover and exercise innovative building skills" (Colker and Simon, 2014). STEAM provides young learners a natural environment in which they can collaborate, communicate and explore all together. My favorite example is when I first started implementing STEAM in my curriculum, a student came and told me ''Do you know the magic with the carpet and the lamp? '' and of course I didn't know what he was talking about. Our learners are exposed to constant input through visuals and online feed and they learn so many things that they want to test out all the time and that makes them more eager to the process that follows.
STEM became STEAM the last years and that was the greatest discovery in this section. Art is a vast section for me and for my school as well and it is very crucial that it has been a part of STEM. The right part of our brain functions with the help of arts, creativity and emotions. In the section of arts there are the visual arts which include drawing, painting and photography, there are the literary arts such as drama and poetry, there are the performing arts as dance, music and theatre as well. Art experiences help teachers to improve their teaching and learners to gain more knowledge and broaden their horizons. It helps both sides to investigate their inner self and appreciate the world around them. Arts help students become more fluent speakers through their creativity and willing to continue their learning process. It has been seen globally that many educators are teaching through arts with marvelous results.
STEAM has everything we need to make our learners ready for the years that follow. It is very common nowadays for students to lack a sense of will, not want to attend courses, avoid searching for new interests and be surrounded by people who suffer from COVID- 19 and financial crisis. We, as educators, should shine their way to education, we should stand for them and be with them and we have to be prepared to make them interested in reading, research, critical thinking and creativity. It is our chance to change past habits and bring ''awesomeness'' back to life. The world is changing and we should change with it, not tomorrow but today.

A couple, who divorced nine years ago following a $60 million settlement, fought in court for 1½ years over which parent their youngest child should have reunion dinner with on the eve of Chinese New Year.
A district judge decided in 2019 that the 13-year-old should have dinner first with his mother, before a second dinner at his father's home on the same day. But both parties were not satisfied and appealed to the High Court.
High Court judge Debbie Ong dismissed the appeals on Jan 7, urging the parents to reflect on their communications with each other and the positions they have taken in litigation.
In her judgment, Justice Ong said: "The court is the last resort for the resolution of parenting matters, for parents should intentionally endeavour to make these decisions for their children themselves."
The judge said that whether the issue was resolved in favour of the mother or the father would not significantly affect the welfare of the child, whom she referred to as C.
"What would significantly affect C's welfare is the parents' conflicts and the spirit in which they carry out the orders," said the judge.
She added that the conflict may have tainted the child's experiences of what ought to be joyful celebrations.
Justice Ong also said that if both parties' lawyers can work as a team to resolve their clients' parenting matters, they would have played a role in delivering "therapeutic justice", an approach focused on healing relationships and moving forward.
The couple, who had four children, had an uncontested divorce in 2012 after a 25-year marriage.
The current appeals concerned only their youngest child. Their oldest child has died, while two daughters are 21 and 22 years old.
For years after the divorce, the arrangements relating to the care of the children worked smoothly. There were no specific arrangements for dinner time on Chinese New Year's Eve.
But the co-parenting relationship soured in 2019.
The mother claimed it was because she had served a legal demand on the man for failing to pay her $60 million as agreed, while he blamed it on her deliberate non-communication.
In May 2019, the mother sought care of the child on Chinese New Year's Eve.
She said that with her daughters overseas, it was important to spend quality time as a family that day.
The father also sought care of the child, claiming that the boy always had reunion dinner with paternal relatives.
After the district judge decided that the child should have separate dinners with them on Chinese New Year's Eve, both parents argued that the arrangement was not workable.
The father suggested that the child have lunch with his mother and dinner with his paternal relatives, arguing that the child was too full to eat a second dinner.
But Justice Ong upheld the decision, calling it a sensible arrangement that will allow the child to spend time with both sides of his family.

Cathy Roberts, D.O.
Neurodevelopmental Behavioral Pediatrician
My name is Dr. Cathleen Roberts, but a simple Dr. Cathy works well. I am so excited to be a part of the team at 316 Counseling. I am a developmental pediatrician with board certification in
neurodevelopmental disabilities and developmental behavioral pediatrics. I have practiced in the DFW area since moving to Texas in 2004. In June of 2021 I retired from full time practice. Through God's perfect timing and connections, I was blessed to meet Dr. Becki and the team at 316.
I began my journey in medicine long before any formal training. My brother Eddie, who had profound disabilities inspired me and taught me things that formal training never could. During college I learned of a wholistic approach and went on to obtain my osteopathic medical degree (D.O.) at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. I completed my pediatric residency at Geisinger Medical Center in rural Pennsylvania. Eddie's influence led me to a rehabilitation fellowship through the University of Southern California and a developmental fellowship at the University of Virginia. I have had the privilege of partnering with families in Texas, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky.
I am passionate about helping children and families understand their developmental and behavioral differences and challenges. I believe that the more we understand the root causes of these challenges, the better equipped we are to empower and support. I also know that your child is impacted by the world and environment around them and that looking wholistically is essential. My goal is to partner with you to discover your child's strengths and provide a clear path forward to maximize their well-being, mind, body, and spirit.
In my free time, I love spending time with my husband and 2 young adult children. My play usually
involves baking, communing with nature, and gardening. I stay connected through life groups and bible study. When I have quiet time, I love cuddling up with a good mystery or historical fiction book.

Good morning! Here's how Cascadia's United States Senators voted on major issues during the legislative week ending Friday, September 11th, 2020.
In the United States Senate
BLOCKING REPUBLICAN CORONAVIRUS PACKAGE: Voting 52 for and 47 against, the Senate on September 10th failed to reach sixty votes needed to advance a Republican-sponsored coronavirus relief package.
Consisting of $300 billion in new spending and $350 billion in recycled funds, the bill (S 178).stopped well short of a competing $3.4 trillion measure passed by House Democrats in May. The Senate bill would fund supplemental unemployment benefits of $300 per week through the end of 2020 and a second round of Paycheck Protection Program forgivable loans for small businesses, while erecting a shield against lawsuits for businesses taking reasonable steps to protect against COVID-19 exposure. The bill omitted aid passed by the House such as $1 trillion to help states and localities avert layoffs, $200 billion in hazard pay for essential workers and $100 billion to help tenants pay rent.
In part, the Senate bill would provide $70 billion for K‑12 education including tax credits for private-school tuition; $31 billion for developing Covid-19 vaccines and therapeutics; $29.4 billion for the U.S. military; $29 billion for colleges and universities; $25 billion for public health services; $20 billion for farmers and ranchers; $15.5 billion for the National Institutes of Health; $10 billion for the U.S. Postal Service and $5 billion in aid to childcare centers.
John Thune, R‑South Dakota, said: "We may need to spend more" for coronavirus relief in the future. "This bill is simply an attempt to direct relief funds to some of the biggest priorities right now, like helping the hardest hit small businesses weather this crisis and providing more resources for testing, treatment and vaccines. These are areas we should all agree on."
Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D‑New York, said the bill "does not help renters keep a roof over their heads or American families put food on the table. It shortchanges health care and education. It does not provide a dime to protect essential state and local services. It is laden with poison pills…to guarantee the bill's failure. The truth of the matter is, Republicans… don't want to pass a bill."
A yes vote was to advance the bill.
Voting Aye (2):
Voting Nay (2):
Voting Nay (2):
Cascadia total: 2 aye votes, 4 nay votes
Key votes ahead
Congress in the week of September 14th will debate legislation to fund the government on a stopgap basis when the new fiscal year begins October 1st.

The Denver Broncos traded the No. 36 overall pick in the 2011 Draft to the San Francisco 49ers for the 45th, 108th and 141st picks. That's a nine spot jump by the 49ers to select Nevada quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Just one pick earlier, the Cincinnati Bengals selected quarterback Andy Dalton of TCU. Dalton was considered the more likely of the two to to go in the first round.
As a result of the trade, the Broncos now pick back-to-back in the second round with picks No. 45 and No. 46. They now also have a pick in the fourth round and in the fifth, having previously traded them away.

Forming and fracture limits of two metastable AISI 301LN high-strength austenitic stainless steels were studied. One of the alloys was cold rolled for additional strengthening. Hydraulic bulge testing was employed in the stretch forming experiments. Marciniak-type in-plane tests and tensile tests were carried out to study the limit strains in the deep drawing region. Laser-marked grids were used to measure the surface strains. In stretch forming both alloys failed by fracture, showing no signs of local necking. In the deep drawing region both failed by local necking and the fracture direction was inclined to the rolling direction. The forming limit could be predicted by Hill's criterion for the non-cold rolled alloy. For the cold rolled alloy the forming limits in the deep drawing region were much lower, indicating a rather flat forming limit curve.

The EDITED Retail Analysts break down the most important runway and lifestyle stories set to impact retail in the new year. Read on to learn trends you need to consider for the upcoming year.
In our previous article, we wrapped up the defining trends shaping the retail landscape in 2020. Now, familiarize yourself with the major themes that will influence women's, men's, teens' and beauty products alongside key commercial data.
Reach out to an EDITED retail expert to understand how to back up every decision you make in 2020 with the world's largest retail data source.
Womenswear: the Y2K bug
Why take note of this trend?
The 2020s marks the turn of a new decade. As a result, we can expect nostalgia to shift towards 00s influences. This presents a strong update that also builds on 90s trends – one of the most popular throwbacks of recent seasons. The release of a host of 00s reboots including Legally Blonde 3, Lizzie McGuire and Gossip Girl will play an essential role in propelling the decade. Versace's viral revival of JLo's 2000 Grammy Awards Dress for Spring 2020 is also a strong indicator of the direction fashion will take next year.
What's next?
Cardigans and corsets are already proving popular comeback items, as well as nostalgic footwear and accessory trends such as square toes, Mary Janes, hair slides and micro bags. Tonal dressing has been a notable runway trend and is filtering down into the mass market – see Max Mara for best practice. Pastel shades of lilac, pink and blue will rise to the fore as a key color trend as lilac arrivals have already risen 25% YoY for FW19. Download our Y2K The Trends To Invest In & Avoid apparel reports for everything you need to know.
With the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics coming up, Japanese art and fashion will be in the spotlight. Expect manga licensing and kawaii culture to grow this year. Log in to EDITED to read the full Womenswear: Trends To Watch For 2020 report.
Menswear: casual workwear
Why take note of this trend?
With Goldman Sachs relaxing its dress code and Marks & Spencer cutting back on its tailoring assortment, do retailers need to make men's workwear casual?
For 2020, the answer is yes. More retailers are promoting a smart casual dress code over the traditional suit in workwear communications. The Spring 2020 runway was inundated with unstructured and loose fit tailoring, where Fendi and Dior championed the new workwear look.
2019 saw the rise of performance workwear as a reaction to changing demands. More travel, longer commutes as well as fashion brands claiming a stake in the activewear market. Zara's Traveler range saw high SKU activity and promoted fabrics featuring stretch, moisture-wicking and waterproof qualities.
What's next?
Alongside investing in more performance fabrics, workwear edits in-store and online need to introduce more separates for 2020. Bombers, overshirts and coach jackets all make for excellent replacements to the blazer. The smart jogger came through as one of 2019's strongest trends and should continue into the new year. Lighter linen blends are ideal fabrications for Summer months, transitioning into warmer wools for Fall. The addition of a drawstring waist or cuffed bottoms are all that's needed to dress down suit trousers.
Polo shirts and jersey basics offer a replacement to the shirt – a favorite pairing to the casual blazer on the runway. Take inspiration from streetwear designers for sneakers in leather or paneled to add color for footwear. Then across accessories, soft leather briefcases and smaller cross body bags are ideal for the commuter.
After the Met Gala, the likes of Harry Styles and Timothée Chalmalet paved the way for a new interpretation of romanticism in men's fashion. Read more about this aesthetic and others in our Menswear: Trends To Watch For 2020.
Teens: eco-conscious
Why Take Note of This Trend?
2019 saw the rise of sub-cultures like the VSCO Girl and VSCO Boy, a Gen-Z phenomenon that traded the 'Basic Bitch' of 2009 for a more sustainably-minded individual. Functional and outdoor labels like Patagonia, Birkenstock and Fjällräven are a key element of the VSCO aesthetic, as was an awareness for more eco-sensitive practices like beach clean-ups. Young activists like Greta Thunberg are repositioning sustainable issues for Gen-Z, and her recent induction as Time's Person of The Year will further influence this movement.
What's Next?
Themes of planet Earth will persevere into 2020 bolstered by literal interpretations of the trend at the Spring 2020 men's and women's shows. These materialized in the form of floral/tropical prints, natural fabrications and sustainable collaborations like Heron Preston x Sami Miro. For teens, light-hearted references like small Earth graphics and references to 'mother nature' offer a subtle way for retailers to engage in the conversation, while retailers like Monki demonstrate a more vocal approach, boycotting Black Friday and introducing an Inner Outer Nature collection.
Thunberg joins K-Pop band BTS and 15-year-old tennis star Coco Gauff as the new wave of influencers impacting Gen-Z this year. Read what else will be on teens' radars in our Trends To Watch For 2020 report.
Beauty: HBO's Euphoria
Why take note of this trend?
The beauty industry was captivated by HBO's high school drama Euphoria, which aired in Summer 2019 with unconventional makeup central to the show. There was a particular focus on eye design play and stylized glitter, which became synonymous with the show. This trend emerged on the runway throughout the Spring shows, giving further weight to drag culture going mainstream.
What's Next?
As the show is set to return to screens in 2020, expect it to heavily influence makeup for festival season. In place of glitter pots that create organic shapes, there'll be an appetite for sparkles in more of a template or transfer to create sharper and cleaner shapes. Advancements in eco-credentials around glitters mean that these products are being looked at more favorably. Keep it eco and keep it neat.
The high demand for cult beauty brands and skincare will continue in the new year, as well as makeup trends nodding to the 00s. Read our Beauty: Trends To Watch For 2020 report rounding up the standout themes in this category.

Most of us need a little bit more balance in our lives. If you ever feel frazzled and you're losing control over everything around you, you can probably relate to this need. The lack of control and balance in your life is something that happens gradually, and often you don't realize how much balance you have lost, until you go to restore that balance. But not only do you need to restore that balance, but you need to redefine what it means to have balance in your life. If you don't have a clear vision of the balance that your life needs, you will never be able to maintain it.
When most people think about the balance of their life, work is the first thing that comes to mind. Work can look like so many different things, which is often why it is so difficult to balance out in your life. You may have a full time job that takes up most of your waking hours week after week. And many of us have a hard time truly leaving work at work, focusing on work problems and issues once we are home.
In addition to your career, there are household items that demand a lot of time, and this also constitutes work. Childcare is another thing that, while it feels unfair to label it as work, is absolutely work.
This is often just scratching the surface of the things in your life that are work. So, how is it possible to gain any balance when there are so many work related things that are pulling your attention in a hundred different directions at once? There will always be exceptions, but you should strive to have specific hours that you spend on work tasks. If you have a 9-5, leave that work there. Don't bring projects home with you, and don't answer emails regarding work issues when you are home. Specify certain hours that you will be doing housework. If you have hours set on a daily basis, it will be easier to keep your home clean and will not take more than your designated daily hours to keep things clean.
Down time
Down time sometimes feels like something you'll never have again. You think back to the simple times when you were in high school, college, pre children, pre career, that you had time to do absolutely nothing. You will probably never have such an abundance of free time ever again, but that doesn't mean that you don't deserve to have some free time in your life. In fact, it is necessary in order for you to thrive and have an enjoyable life. Depriving yourself of free time is going to stress you out and make you less productive when you are focusing on other things. Every single day, no matter what deadlines or dishes you have, you need to let yourself take a break. Schedule it in before you start your day, so you don't have an excuse to skip it when you are feeling overwhelmed.
It's important to separate downtime from scheduled time to do things that you enjoy. Downtime should be time that you are able to sit and not worry about things. Spend that time catching up on your favorite tv show. But you should also schedule out activities of things you enjoy. Date nights, grabbing drinks with friends, brunch on the weekends, going to the movies. These won't happen every day, but are important to have on a weekly basis.
Your health is important, and often neglected when you are overwhelmed and busy. It doesn't take a lot of time to plan out healthy meals for your week, but it's important to do so, and to stick to it. Finding time to be active and workout, even if it is just going on a walk in the evening with your dog, will improve the quality of your life, and you'll find that you have more energy for other things during the days.

The Gradient is a high standing building with an incredible view and a prestigious entrance hall to boot. When it comes to the layout of the building, the influences of modern architecture allow for plenty of functionality and flexibility thanks to a spacious ground floor whilst maximising the available office space without impeding the overall look of the building.
On the technical side, the Gradient features both direct and indirect suspended lighting that is triggered by a presence detector, thus reducing the building's ecological footprint and adding style to its many rooms. Furthermore, a cooled ceiling has been installed and its power is increased by the architect's structural style and approach. Additionally, the building's modulation stands at 1,29 metres with ceiling height of 2,70 metres.
As far as security is concerned, the Gradient has a built-in fire detection and alarm. A security guard is present in the reception area from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm. Further security measures include an audio-visual monitoring system, as part of the surveillance systems, which encompasses the main entrance and the car park.
Facilities and Building
The Gradient's occupants will enjoy the benefits of several facilities which aim to enhance working conditions - notably a bank and restaurant as well as showers and spacious cloakrooms.
The building includes carpeting and triple glazing for unparalleled insulation and reduced heating costs. It also boasts a multitude of air conditioning units, five elevators and a freight lift for easy access and mobility, both for personnel and goods.

One thing I've heard over and over again is that FDR concealed his dependence on a wheelchair, and the American public was unaware that he was physically disabled. Is that true? —Kel
If a president sits in a wheelchair and no one's there to photograph him, is he really paraplegic? Franklin Delano Roosevelt never explicitly denied that he'd lost the use of his legs, but he sure did his damnedest to keep people—especially of the camera-toting variety—from seeing him wheel around. When rare 1944 footage of FDR rolling onboard the U.S.S. Baltimore surfaced three years ago, the Associated Press claimed "Roosevelt's disability was virtually a state secret during his presidency," echoing an assumption popularized by Hugh Gallagher's 1980 book FDR's Splendid Deception. That doesn't quite cover it, though. Long before the internet, FDR evidently grasped the truth of the information-age maxim "Pics or it didn't happen." Many Americans knew Roosevelt was disabled, but he was determined they not perceive him as such.
It was in August 1921 that Roosevelt, the Democratic candidate for vice president the year before, became mysteriously paralyzed from the waist down and was diagnosed with polio. (Scrutinizing his symptoms posthumously, modern doctors have suggested that he actually had Guillain-Barré syndrome. But until someone digs up the old boy and finds some usable DNA, we'll stick with what his contemporaries believed.) A vigorous 39-year-old, Roosevelt threw himself into a series of recuperative regimens, and by the time he was called upon to nominate Al Smith at the party's 1924 convention, he could haul himself across the stage on crutches.
Roosevelt went on to run for Smith's seat as New York governor, and his Republican opponents were quick to target his disability. Smith cut them off at the pass: Acknowledging Roosevelt's "lack of muscular control of his lower limbs," Smith insisted that "a governor does not have to be an acrobat. We do not elect him for his ability to do a double backflip or a handspring."
In preparation for his first presidential campaign, Roosevelt addressed the subject head on. In 1931, Liberty magazine ran a story titled, "Is Franklin D. Roosevelt Physically Fit to Be President?" The piece began, "The next President of the United States may be a cripple." Roosevelt was remarkably candid and submitted to examination by three physicians. The conclusion: "Governor Roosevelt is confident of ultimate total recovery."
Then, once Roosevelt was elected, his disability was, for the most part, no longer under discussion. How'd he manage it? For starters, few White House press secretaries have tyrannized D.C. reporters as thoroughly as Steve Early. Throughout FDR's tenure, Early banned anyone seeking to snap a pic of the president in his wheelchair. Secret Service agents more than once yanked film or plates from the camera of a misbehaving photog. As for inquiries into Roosevelt's physical condition, they were invariably met with, "It's not a story."
Roosevelt's public appearances were carefully stage-managed to similar effect. The president rarely emerged from his limousine in the view of the public or the press. His legs were supported with steel braces, and when he spoke, he would grip the podium forcefully with both hands and emphasize his points with a jaunty, vigorous thrust of his head.
But neither did his condition go wholly overlooked. Time and The New Yorker both casually mentioned FDR using a wheelchair in 1934, as did a 1941 Life profile. Yet even his political adversaries—and Henry Luce was no fan—didn't harp on Roosevelt's disability, though Luce managed to publish a rare photo of him in a wheelchair in 1937. More remarkably, Roosevelt's overseas enemies rarely attempted to exploit his disability. Mussolini did once splutter, "Never in the course of history has a nation been guided by a paralytic," and a German propagandist called FDR "a physically broken person who is constantly venting his hysteria," but honestly you'd figure they'd have made more of it.
When he ran for his fourth term in 1944, Roosevelt was 62 and his health became an issue for the first time in a decade. He also appeared publicly in his wheelchair. "I hope that you will pardon me for this unusual posture of sitting down," Roosevelt told Congress, "but I know that you will realize that it makes it a lot easier for me not to have to carry about 10 pounds of steel around on the bottom of my legs."
FDR was perhaps the most effective American politician of all time, and throughout his career he managed his disability with a hard-nosed pragmatism that, as with so much of his presidential style, could be classified either as take-charge leadership or outright manipulation, depending on your perspective. Think about it, though: Today there'd be a treacly 10-minute documentary at the DNC about Franklin's polio, set to soft but stirring music, with poor Eleanor forced to gaze dewy-eyed into the distance. It's enough to make you think the Great Depression really was the good old days. —Cecil Adams

When did you start with GJM? September 7th, 2021, but had a prior part-time internship in the GJM Tax/Administrative departments and two prior internships in Assurance.
Why did you choose the accounting industry? I like seeing the whole picture of things and accounting is the basis and glue that connects the functions of a business together, so it keeps me connected with all the different aspects of a business (the whole picture).
What do you like best about accounting? I like determining and analyzing the numbers to help find efficiencies and improvements in other aspects of the business.
Are you from the Toledo area originally? If not, where are you from? Arlington, OH (South of Findlay).
What do you like about living in Northwest Ohio? Experiencing the four seasons even when it may be all in one day.
Where did you go to school? High School: Arlington Local '16, College: Bowling Green State University '20 & '21.

How do you like to spend your free time? Bake desserts, work in a woodshop, going on walks with my girlfriend, playing recreational sports.
Favorite book? Favorite movie? I have never read or seen any of the Harry Potters, but I played Quidditch at BGSU. I am not the biggest fan of reading books. I prefer watching movies instead. Favorites: The Rookie, Field of Dreams, Miracle on 34th Street.
Are you involved in any community organizations, do any volunteer work? Not yet but I am looking forward to getting into some.
What is something people may be surprised to find out about you? My parents worked and met at the Findlay office.
