Pan-American Exposition
first edition Softcover
1901 · Brooklyn, NY
by n/a
Brooklyn, NY: A. Wittemann, 1901. First edition. Softcover. f to vg. Oblong quarto. Original string bound olive wrappers, with b/w photographic reproduction pasted to front cover. Unpaginated. [24] leaves.Pictorial album containing 24 b/w photographic reproductions documenting the Pan-American Exposition, a World's Fair held in Buffalo, New York, from May 1 through November 2, 1901. The exposition is most remembered for two main reasons: - President William McKinley was shot by an anarchist, Leon Czolgosz, at the Temple of Music on September 6, 1901. the President died 8 days later. The newly developed X-ray machine was displayed at the fair, but doctors were reluctant to use it on McKinley to search for the bullet because they did not know what side effects it might have had on him. Also, the operating room at the exposition's emergency hospital did not have any electric lighting, even though the exteriors of many of the buildings were covered with thousands of light bulbs. Doctors used a pan to reflect sunlight onto the operating table as they treated McKinley's wounds. - Lina Beecher, creator of the Flip Flap Railway, attempted to demonstrate one of his looping roller coasters at the fair, but the organizers of the event considered the ride to be too dangerous and refused to allow it on the grounds. The photographs depict the following major buildings, exhibits and attractions: The Bazaar Building and Grand Canal; The Agricultural, Manufacturers, and Liberal Arts Buildings designed by George Shepley; The Electric Tower (the fair's center piece) designed by John Galen Howard; The Electricity Building designed by Green & Wicks; The Ethnology Building designed by George Cary; The U. S.

Varun with his rumored girlfriend Natasha!

We've often seen Varun Dhawan hanging out with the young lot of Bollywood, but this time our paparazzi spotted the actor with someone special i.e. his rumoured girlfriend Natasha Dalal.
Ever since Varun Dhawan has made his entry in the industry with Karan Johar's 'Student of the Year', the actor's love life has been the talk of the town since then.
Natasha was even seen hiding her face. Being the childhood buddies, Varun and Natasha are spotted together at most of the events. Although, the star had earlier confirmed to have dated Dalal in their childhood days, but now he claims to be just friends with her.
The actor opted for casuals, a Grey hoodie jacket with a pair of denims for a movie night out.
However, it looks like nothing has changed since childhood as Junior Dhawan and his alleged girlfriend have been spotted spending quality time on multiple occasions.

Discover some of the best practices to assist in analyzing your businesses social media data.
Performance Trackers
Most of the tools for this are referred to as analytical tools. A lot of people may be surprised to find that many of these tools are free. There are some great resources that are simple yet effective in helping people find meaning in their statistics.
One of the most common tools that people use is Google Analytics. It becomes easy to track performance and set goals with this resource. People can use custom reports to collect data.
Data Collection Websites
It is useful to employ sites that allow businesses to collect data on Facebook and Twitter followers. The Simply Measured site has these tools. People that have accounts can see if their social media presence is effective or in need of work. This is one of the most effective best practices to see regular relevant statistical data displayed.
This isn't the only way that people can check their statistics though. There are also some plug-ins on browsers that can be quite helpful as well. People that are interested in getting a plug-in through Chrome will enjoy Viral Heat.
There is another monitor by a company called Wildfire that promises to help companies track their social media popularity alongside other companies. This application is called Social Media Monitor and it tracks the popularity of websites in the social realm. This is one of the best practices for competing in such a highly competitive industry. Everyone want piece of the social media pie and all leaders needs to know what the competition is doing. This is often the only way to successfully compete.
Instant Information
The companies that want to establish a web presence must lean heavily on the world of instant information. There are so many circles of friends and consumers in technology that are tweeting or writing on the walls of their friends. Companies that are not part of this mix will lose business because these companies fail to properly address the new generation of consumers. The best practice of analyzing data starts with securing programs that accurately deliver relevant data.

Stockings, perhaps the most exciting part of Christmas cadeaux, are not typically part of Noêl festivities in France. I do however have a great friend who has a huge family — and fortunately an enormous fireplace — who has taken to the tradition with a passion to the delight of her children and now her grandchildren.
The stockings hung by the chimney with care. . . have always been my very favorite part of the holidays. I like them because, in a way, it takes more thought to fill them with charming offerings. Each one is theoretically strategically conceived to reflect the recipient's personality, all of which made me think about that most difficult of challenges: The Woman Who Has Everything.
I imagine all of us have one or more friends in that category and they tend to create a cadeau conundrum when we're confronted with those "what in the world can we give her?" occasions. Clearly, we're not in competition to "keep up" with her budget possibilities and as for my friends, they would never expect excess because they are kind, thoughtful, generous and mostly blithely unaware that we would even think it could be difficult to find perfect presents for them.
So, mes amis, that was the task I set for myself: Fill a Christmas stocking for the woman who has everything with gifts that never surpass $50 and sometimes ring in at less than $10. I'm not suggesting we would be responsible from toe to top, simply one (maybe two) special items that could be tucked within to give joy and show our affection.
Here then, is Part I of my two-part series:
3.) Clarins' three point eyeliner pen. It's slightly complicated to use the first time — instructions are inside the box — and requires a tiny bit of practice, but once you've learned the technique there is no turning back. The concept is so ingenious that it redefines, literally, everything we have ever thought about the process.
4.) Poudre Universelle Libre, Réverie, by Chanel. What could be more festive than a dusting of light reflecting gold and silver powder?
5.) Pate a tartiner Pietra by Pierre Hermé — it's sort of like an intensely chic version of Nutella from one of the world's most talented chocolate makers and, many contend, the king of macaroons.
6.) "Le Premeur" a calendar of fruits and vegetables which tells us what produce is grown in which season and therefore leads us to the best quality choices. It saves us from eating raspberries in December that taste like the carton in which they were so enticingly displayed for example.
9.) One or two shooting star hair combs, brass with a wash of gold something-or-other. Take my word for it, they're glamorous.
10.) Guerlain's beyond chic lipstick with its built-in mirror. It has heft, style and the magic "click" that tells a woman, "this is pure luxury."
A demain for the second installment.
Tish, I love this list. So many things I didn't know about and believe me I would be thrilled to receive any one of them. Yes, for the woman who has everything.
Merry Christmas !!
Yes please… to all these lovely goodies… And that eyeliner… it does look complex… but I trust you… 🙂 xv
Love stockings!!! love filling them and love opening them – yup Santa brings me one too!
All your gift ideas are perfect
Oh Tish, these are perfect for every woman I know!
Love & Hugs,
Art by Karena
$75 NOVICA Giveaway
I absolutely adore your suggestions.
I'll take the earings…and the Jungle Red …..and the hair comb would be fun and………
What marvellous choices Tish, l would be over the moon to have any one of these in my stocking.
Stockings are my favorite part of clothing and also of Christmas…! love filling them for my kids.
That fruit and vegetable chart is the cleverest thing I've seen in quite a while! And I'm going to make a note of that eyeliner pen to check out next time I visit the Clarins counter.

As with almost any beginning writer, you learn to become better by doing exactly what you are doing here - writing and putting your work out for constructive criticism. If you can accept that criticism, learn from it, and apply the lessons to your future writing, you will get better.
As it is right now, your story has some significant problems. You can not depend on spell-check as the only method of verifying the language in your story. You have real words that are not what you intended to use ("dose" when you mean "does", "physic" when you mean "psychic"). You need to review punctuation usage.
I had problems following the conversation between Dave and Chris. Review use of indentation and paragraph format to help readers distinguish between speakers. Consider adding description of actions to help break up the dialogue and give your readers time to process what is happening. (Is Dave squirming in his seat as Chris criticizes the story? Does Chris glance in the rear view mirror, honk his horn at someone he's passing, turn on the headlights?)
You've done some nice thinking about how to establish the feel of the apartment, the relationship between Dave and Lorrie, and some of the other story development elements. Keep that aspect going, but also spend more time on mechanics. Keep writing - and good luck!

Missed Part 2 of Bell Smith Springs – Winter Return? Click here to read.
Missed Part 3 of Bell Smith Springs – Winter Return? Click here to read.
– by Gary Marks
The Finale
First of all, I would like to thank you the reader for continuing to read the articles on Bell Smith Springs. This will absolutely be the final post for the Winter Series on Bell Smith. When I started these posts I only thought I would have enough photos and material to write at most two posts, but as I kept editing photos I realized that I have never come away from Bell Smith Springs with this many "unique" photos. So here we go one last time.
One More Stop
I finish photographing from the top of the sandstone giant and put the remnants of my lunch away. I look at my watch and realize that I have just enough time to see one more spectacle before prior engagements call. I backtrack once again and pass near the "Grand Staircase" and Devil's Backbone.
I zig-zag my way up the canyon via the Hill Branch Trail and follow the red markers on the south side of Hill Branch Canyon and walk a short distance up the white trail. When I reach the top I am able to look down on the creek. The softly trickling water below cuts through the whiteness of the new snow, creating what looks to be a watery trail for one to explore.
To the Cascade
I take several photographs and then continue to my final destination. I begin to notice that I am not alone. Fresh dog prints break up the new snow and my mind begins to wonder if I will catch up to this animal and if so, will it be friendly. The dog paws lead me to the slanted sandstone of the cascade area.
I am in for a special treat. The sandstone which for most of the year lies bare has acquired a winter coat. Water over time has created bumps and crevices creating a totally unique landscape. The new layer of snow has made the area uniform in color and has accentuated shapes, which in all my years of visiting Hill Branch I have never encountered.
I know that I must explore the area with my camera, because there has to be a photograph somewhere upon this barren landscape. As I walk along a side-stream down towards the cascade, I take my time to make sure I do not disturb any snow around some of the features that might be photogenic.
The Heart
I near the bottom and that is when I first see it, the Heart of Bell Smith Springs. The snow gives way to a oval size hole. The iron-enriched water gives this section of the stream a reddish tint where water slowly glides from the top and then rolls gently to the left down towards the cascade.
I sit up my tripod and click away with my camera. The photo that appears is one of the most unique photos of Bell Smith Springs I have ever taken. The "heart" reminds me of a red fuel pump ripped out of a chest of a mythical dragon and planted on a sheet of white paper.
The Final Descent
After many photographs at different angles, I turn around and take in the small cascade and the gorge that this creek has carved. I can think of no other area quite like this in Southern Illinois. I was here less than a month ago and photographed icicles dangling from the sandstone, but this time it was complemented by the presence of snow. I scampered down into the gorge, or should I say a controlled slide and photographed on of the last scenes from a day spent discovering and exploring one of the Shawnee National Forest gems during one of my most favorite times of the year.
Reflecting Upon
As I made my way back to the truck I reflected on just how much natural beauty that this place held. I thought about how the Grand Staircase reminds me of an entrance into another world; how the natural landmark of Devil's Backbone inspires one to make sense of their surroundings; how one of largest natural bridges resides hidden in the forest just waiting to be explored; and how the unexpected scenes like the "heart" of Bell Smith waits patiently for someone to photograph.
I think to myself what a great wintry day to have been exploring the natural wonders of Bell Smith Springs and the Shawnee Hills.

PS – While leaving the parking lot of Bell Smith, I was pulling out and lost traction in the snow almost plowing into a tree and off a small bank. Even with my 4×4 on, I only narrowly escaped from damaging myself and my truck. It reminds me that even though I do take precautions when traveling to these places in adverse conditions I am always taking a risk and do not encourage others to take unnecessary risks with their life and vehicles.

How far along?
29 weeks! Finally in the 3rd trimester – home stretch!
Maternity clothes? Yep. Kind of tired of them though.
Stretch marks? No new ones! I swear – if I hadn't have gotten fat in college, I probably wouldn't have any stretch marks!
Sleep: Pretty good! He's been starting to kick harder at night, so it's been taking me longer to fall asleep. Josh likes to push on my tummy and feel the baby kick back. It's cute!
Best moment this week: Our 3D/4D ultrasound! Got to see his sweet little face, feet and hands! We took my parents and Josh's parents to the Ultrasound. I'm so glad they got to experience it with us.
Josh, my dad and my father-in-law also set up the crib this weekend. I love standing over it and imaging what it will be like looking down at my little guy while he's sleeping. 🙂
|Sleepy boy!
|Sweet feet!
|Cute little ear!
|Yes – I am aware I need to iron the bedskirt. 🙂
Miss Anything? I've been really tired during the day. I miss coffee and having more energy.
Movement: LOTS! And his kicks are become a little more painful and less cute. 🙂
Food cravings: Sweets! I guess I passed my glucose test. (They said they'd call if the results were positive for diabetes and I haven't heard anything.)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Gender: Boy!
Labor Signs: Nope.
Symptoms: I'm so tired during the day. My back's been hurting a little bit too, but nothing too serious.
Belly Button in or out? In – but it really looks different than it used to! I need to take a picture of it so I remember what it looked like while I'm pregnant.
Wedding rings on or off? If I'm outside for a while, I have to take my engagement ring off. Luckily, I never got my wedding band sized and it fits perfectly when my hands are swollen. 🙂
Mood: Pretty happy. A little grumpy when I get too tired. Sorry Josh!
Looking forward to: Finishing up July and August and part of September. I'm ready to meet this little one!
Oh – and I've got to mention that I survived a Braves baseball game on Friday in record high temperatures at 7 months pregnant. And I didn't even complain! I should get a reward. 🙂

No security for Aamir
The latest buzz in town is that after King Khan it's our Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, who has lost his security cover. Shah Rukh Khan regained his security cover last month, after he spoke up against our adjacent country's government. But, Aamir still has to wait for his turn.
Previously, the actor was given police cover in the year 2001, when his film Lagaan released. At that time there was a threat against both Aamir and filmmaker Ashutosh Gowarikar, after they refused to pay the underworld. In a recent security inspection done by the protection and security branch of the Mumbai police, Aamir currently faces no such threat to his security.

Hacking your fundraiser part 1
Recently my inbox has been flooded with requests to donate to numerous admirable and worthy fundraisers – fundraisers for finding a cure for cancer, fundraisers for helping the impoverished all around the world, and fundraisers to help displaced people. Good stuff!
As part of my work with Changing the World 101 I often help students and clubs maximize the effectiveness of their fundraising campaigns. Over the years I've come across a few very effective psychological tricks that really help. I want to share four of the best here. This post will share the first two and next week I will cover the others.
1) The donation jar/counter technique
Have you ever watched a baby do something new for the first time? Lets say it's a somersault. Since somersaults are brand new to the baby it has no idea how to respond. It's internal narrative would be something along the lines of, "holy shit! what just happened? I have no clue about what to do right now. " Ok – I doubt the baby is cursing, but you get the idea.
Since the baby doesnt know what to do it looks towards it's caretaker to see how to respond. In most cases if the caretaker laughs and smiles, the baby will laugh and smile; if the caretaker cries and screams the baby will cry and scream.
In other words the baby gets its social cueing from other people.
Here is the interesting thing about that phenomena: it never goes away. Everyone, to some degree, looks towards their surroundings to understand how to behave. I know I do this all the time.
Have you ever been in a shopping center when a loud alarm goes off but no one seems concerned? That's social cueing. Theoretically we should panic when we hear that alarm, but since the people around us aren't panicking, we don't either (or if we are panicking we usually hide it).
You can take advantage of social cueing in your fundraisers. If you are using a donations jar, before the event starts put in one or two hundred dollar bills, a handful twenties, and a bunch of fives. This way when people wonder, "how much should I donate?" they will see that (apparently) people have already donated a lot of money to you. They will think to themselves, "wow – this is an awesome cause that people really want to donate to. I guess I should too!"
If you are running an electronic fundraiser you can do something similar. Most electronic fundraisers have some sort of "honor roll", "contributors" or "thank you" list on the side. This list is a simple display of people who have already donated and in some cases how much they donated. People can also choose to donate anonymously but still have their amount displayed. This is what you want to do.
Lets say you are planning on donating 20 of your own dollars to your fundraiser. Instead of lumping it in as $20, make three donations to yourself – one for $10, one for $7, and one for $3. Or ask someone who you know is going to donate to do so in that manner. Doing so will create the social cue that people look for when they decide whether or not to donate, and how much.
2) Give things away for free
Are you giving a talk or hosting some other type of event to raise money? If so then be sure to give things away for free. They don't have to be expensive. Consider buying refreshments in the way of coffee, tea, cakes, cookies, and if appropriate, wine and beer. Begin the event by saying "I want to thank you just for coming out this afternoon. I really appreciate your concern for the cause. As a very small token of my appreciation I bought refreshments for everyone here. Please feel free to help yourself. It's my small way of saying thank you for the help!"
If you are mailing out fundraising letters, consider mailing them in individual hand made cards that you make yourself.
By giving things out for free whether they are nice cards you clearly spent time on, or refreshments, or even small inexpensive gifts – you are creating a relaxed and caring environment that puts people in a generous mood. It shows how much you care about your cause and creates an atmosphere of generosity that translates into higher donations for the cause!

General Question
Do you watch Little People, Big World -- does it seem like reality TV is destroying families?
Asked by SamIAm (8690) December 21st, 2009
I don't watch this show religiously, but there have been a few episodes on today & I've been watching. I have no idea what season these episodes are from buttt I think they're recent (older boys are seniors in high school). Does it seem like the two parents are about to split up? Is this what happens when families go on reality TV? Can you think of an example of a family or person that has thrived from reality TV?
I watch lots of TV but not lots of reality TV… but it seems, to me, people who are signed up for this are doomed.

The Robotic Interactive Canine, otherwise known as R.I.C., is the multifunctional helper to the SPD team. It normally operates on all fours, and is a very handy machine. It is equiped with various scanners and can search for clues or criminals.
R.I.C. was once destroyed by Krybots, but was salvaged by Boom and Bridge, at the request of Syd. They upgraded it to version 2.0, and added a K9 Cannon mode.
R.I.C. is mostly used in battle, when it transfroms to a cannon mode. To summon R.I.C., the Rangers use a K9 Bone, whice connects to R.I.C. to activate the K9 Cannon. It is capable of weakening an opponenent ennough to trap them in a Containment Card.

About tanks has been said a lot, one thing is clear - they are very popular, the cause is a famous online game World of Tanks is trying to look up to many, sometimes with apparent success, and sometimes with complete failure. This game is stuck somewhere in the middle between success and failure, yet it is very similar to World of Tanks, and assume that this is a big plus, because playing WoT with the same number is not possible: (
Game Crazy Fighting Tank 3D-FPS is not online, but the game is not meant to require access to the Internet, someone will find it a good idea, and someone thinks that with this approach, it makes no sense. Yet, this is what awaits you in this game:
you can play in two modes - complete missions or try to survive on the battlefield, which scored enemy equipment. In the missions you have to destroy the enemy base or to perform a certain number of "kills", say - 10 to undermine the enemy tanks. In survival mode, and so it is clear of enemy tanks ... always more than you can destroy it, so that the only purpose - to hold out as long as possible with the maximum losses on the enemy's side.

First Australians
|SBS/Miegunyah Press
|Rachel Perkins and Marcia Langton
|Star rating
This sumptuous large format pictorial is a book-format companion to the television documentary series aired to richly deserved acclaim in 2008.
The success of First Australians in book format and its acknowledged limitations are linked to the Ken Burns methodology selected by the TV documentary series. The chapters follow the episodic format of the television series, driven by biographic portraits of Aboriginal leaders who confronted the overwhelming challenges imposed by the British colonisation of Australia.
The book succeeds in conveying a broader and more panoramic appreciation of Aboriginal history, contact history and European history too than one might expect from a biographical approach. There are several reasons for this.
Firstly, it benefits from the wide-ranging historical scope of enquiries by different authors. James Boyce's Tasmanian chapter touches on the broader question of genocide (he is more assertive on this than Henry Reynolds) as does Wayne Atkinson with regard to Victoria's Aborigines Acts of 1869 and 1886. Atkinson discusses the precursors of colonial Australia's Aboriginal reserve system in Cromwellian Ireland and the dispossession of Native Americans and powerfully underlines the critical role of education in enabling effective Aboriginal participation in European culture, economy and political struggle. Steve Kinnane hopefully and legitimately views Aboriginal-operated tourism as the beginnings of Bunuba recovery in the Kimberley.
Secondly, the actions adopted by the selected Aboriginal leaders encompass the entire range of personal and political options available to Indigenous peoples under variegated policies of colonial dominance, dispossession, relocation and threatened extinction. Some, like Jandamarra, abruptly veered from accommodation to resistance. Truganini can be viewed as an opposite trajectory. Many others are portrayed moving between direct actions, negotiations, personalised inter-racial co-operation, Aboriginal self-organisation, inter-cultural diplomacy, strikes, walk-offs, petitions and sheer survival. From Bennelong and Windradyne, to William Barak and William Cooper, Truganini and Jandamara, to Doug Nicholls, Vincent Lingiari, Charles Perkins, Marcia Langton and Eddie Koiki Mabo, the Aboriginal leaders adopted tactical methods that emphasised adaptation, resistance or co-operation. This was dependant on their own circumstances, the options available to them at different times and their individual dispositions and talents.
Thirdly, this book avoids becoming a simplistic or dogmatic ideological tract. The authors portray white settlers who are thoughtful, principled, brave and well-meaning as well as those who were ruthless, blind or indifferent. Marcia Langton depicts the early settler George Suttor as a friend of the Wiradjuri; Bruce Pascoe recognises benefactors like the protector William Thomas, the admirable mission superintendent John Green and agitator Anne Bon. Against the pathological killings perpetrated by Mounted Constable William Willshire, R.G. Kimber gives humane Alice Springs postmaster Frank Gillen his due. Wayne Atkinson recognises Daniel Matthews for encouraging education at Maloga and pays extensive tribute to the remarkable Sri Lankan teacher and doctor, Thomas (Grandpa) James. But neither do the authors err by underestimating the dominance and cruelty of race-based power. Laudable Europeans are presented as they were: both as imperfect products of their time and culture and as noble exceptions to generalised cruelties and injustice generated by stronger currents of greed, ignorance and popular racist ideology.
Finally, there is the transformative role of the illustrations. Viewers of the television series can partially anticipate the magnificent illustrations and photographs that comprise the emotional and historical centrepieces of the stories that are told. Here, the book is still more satisfying than its television equivalent. Readers have the opportunity of dwelling over and pondering the emotional and environmental implications of the illustrations, lingering on the human dimensions, causes and consequences of over 280 marvellous visuals. In turn heartbreaking, evocative and inspiring, they animate the seemingly impossible circumstances that confronted Aborigines seeking both to preserve their cultures and lands and adapt to the narrowing spaces remaining to them by the insatiable appetites of colonialism. Between beautiful reproductions of Aboriginal land by colonial artist Joseph Lycett and a moving, joyous photograph of segregated Kamilaroi kids on a sheep's back at Walgett, we are asked to repeatedly confront terrifying photographs of manacled Aborigines in neck chains being transported to prison and exile. Stunning photos of the physical and spiritual power emanating form Aborigines in traditional costume and country contrast with photographs of displaced women, men and children negotiating their confinement in reserves designed to destroy Indigenous cultures.
The First Australians companion book does face inevitable difficulties. Deployment of a series scriptwriter and regular on-screen interpretations presented by historians Marcia Langton and Bruce Pascoe over the length of the documentaries contributed thematic consistency and a sense of unity to the TV series. Because of its multiple authors, the book is less thoroughly integrated. I found the chapters by Bruce Pascoe, Wayne Atkinson and Steve Kinnane most rewarding and successful. RG Kimber's chapter is interesting but its approach is something of an anomaly; while James Boyce's strong contribution seems frustratingly truncated in contrast to his recent masterwork, Van Diemen's Land.
But this is less of a problem than it might seem. While there is an unavoidably patchwork quality to the overall text, the lavish visuals bestow their own dramatic consistency, human richness and thematic coherence to different histories told by different authors in different ways.

Intellectual Property Rights as Foreign Direct Investments
From Collision to Collaboration
Lukas Vanhonnaeker
Chapter 11: Intellectual property rights investments and public health – case studies
Lukas Vanhonnaeker
Le bleu du ciel, la vaste douceur des mouvements de l'etendue, la serenite du plein midi, semblaient exclure toute mauvaise intention. La mer etait gaie au soleil. Une caresse prealable assaisonne les trahisons. De ces caresses-la, la mer n'en est point avare. Quand on a affaire a cette femme, il faut se defier du sourir. (Victor Hugo). This book has raised numerous questions to which it is difficult to bring a definite answer, mainly as a consequence of the limited case-law dealing with IPRs investments. However, a few cases have come up and were dealt with by arbitral tribunals. The object of this chapter is to analyse two of these cases.

Michael Crichton Travels
Lome, Togo West Africa
Sunday, March 4, 2007
I finished this book by Michael Crichton called Travels. It is sort of relief to be finished.
If I see a very tall, close to 7 foot tall man walking in the Hotel, I will have someone I can try to convince to clean the fan and change the light bulb. There is no way this guy would fit into a chicken bus in Guatemala.
Autobiography, Auras, and Adventures, interesting collection of essays or ideas, gives me a better understanding of how he writes or creates his other books. I do not like to read travel books, and my natural desire to think as this as a travel book, interferes with my thoughts of the book, I would not call this a travel book. On the other hand, I have not read enough travel books to say what a travel book is, and hope I never become an expert on them.
Michael is insightful, he can see the value of intuition, unexplainable experiences, and probably travel.
I hope some publisher talked him into this and he did come up with the idea himself.
Advice for Michael on travel, leave the girls at home, do not take a tour, fly to a strange country, get on a bus at 6:30 am in the morning going anywhere. About 2-4 hours into the ride start you intuitive engine. When it says get off, get off, however if you make a logical choice, stay on the bus, until you trust you instincts. It is ok to get off any time after 2:00 pm for safety reasons. The inner journey is done alone, where there is no path.
I promise to make no jokes about being tall or hurting small Filipino girls, I think you could fly into Cameroon easy. I am quite sure Afrique is big enough for toi.
By the way, when you get off a the bus, you are supposed to go look for a room for the night, that is what we do, it is an algorithmic process. Bring Shakira with you, it would be good for me.

Vitamin Loading
Lome, Togo West Africa
March 4, 2007, 5:29 AM
I have went to Niger two times, I have went to Penn State to talk a professor about Malnutrition. I have a web site now:
We are generating large amounts of data, ideas, movement, and effectively I have done nothing, a big zero to change or solve the problems of Malnutrition. However, I suspect I am right in line with all the other organizations and have a better than normal chance of doing something.
What has been changed, is I am now eating healthier and taking my vitamins as I see a direct correlation between good health, happiness and brain alertness and the vitamins and food that enter my body.
If I eat well, and take vitamins, I am healthier and have more energy, I am the overactive brain Andy as normal of the past. My brain was slowing down, it was starting to be obvious to me, I was lethargic and did not wish to do anything.
I have went from cooking in my room about once every 20 days to cooking in my room once every two days. I am sure in Southeast Asia, I will always cook less because it is cheap to eat in places like Thailand. Here in Africa, I may be cooking daily soon, as I become more organized and prepared.
Sadly, I think I ate and prepared an egg sandwich in Niger and got food poisoning by doing what I am recommending. Eating in restaurants is not safe, however it is also complex and confusing to buy fresh foods. Just the other day, I realized the difference between and old carrot and a fresher carrot, the one is harder or almost brittle.
There are many trade offs in life, I now spend more times searching for food, but I have stopped eating all the processed package goods daily. I have never ate in restaurants regularly, I instead walk around and buy crackers, breads, and carbohydrates. Not the way to eat, but healthy and easy, or safe to eat this way, just not the full supply of nutrients and vitamins. If I eat packaged crackers, I will not get sick normally. If I eat in a restaurant, I will get sick.
Somehow, somewhere, there is an idea, a - presse - that will guide me to knowing if the food is fresh. I am thinking, I must only eat street food where I see them prepare it in front of me, or in highly active restaurants and only the plate that everyone is eating. The more exotic the order, the more likely the food has been sitting in the back for weeks waiting for some nut to buy.
I drank a whole container of apple juice, it must have been a liter. It took me days to find a place that sold juice that has the 100 Percent on the box. It is all French, and there is such and allusive use of words, I think they are selling sugar water, convincing the public it is healthy, and putting juice flavoring in the sugar water, this is portrayed as juice. I now only purchase juice looking drinks that has the 100 percent on the box. When looking at what is represented as juices, I see that about one in 10 boxes is really juice, the rest are just sugar drinks with flavoring.
Hmm, what great fun, I can watch the veggies and see if they pick up on this, I seem that as 90 percent easily manipulated by illusions of healthy foods. I will see if they buy the 100 percent or the normal, I think they normally just eat an orange because they have no money and a box is anti-organic in their mind.

Arrived to Work on Time
Lome, Togo West Africa
Sunday, March 4, 2007, 5:03 AM
Jet Lag
I am happy, I left the USA on February 22, 2007 and today is the fourth of March. I woke today at around 5:00 AM, and I have arrived on time to work. I have been late for work every day, and some days I did not even to go, just lounged around and did nothing.
I do not work.
However, I normally wake somewhere between 4:00 AM and 7:00 AM, then spend the time between waking and going to the internet café typing on the computer, or playing. This time is my get organized for the day time, it is my preparation for life time, it is my clarity of thought time. Here in Lome, Togo is very calm, life is easy, I have very little brain clutter that accumulates during the day, therefore if I wake at my normal time to start play, there is little clutter in the brain to clean. I will be super organized today, not just moderately.
I am looking for the clarity, that brings me serenity.
The problem was my diurnal cycles was off, I had jet lag, the body demands to sleep and wake when it wants to, I am not a person that forces my body to stay awake. I am an easy boss, if the brain wants to rest, it rest, no qualms anymore with doing nothing. I have nothing down well, this is one of the wonders of travel. I have slowly been socialized in these under worked countries to do nothing. I can be just like the locals, or closer, I can languish around, hang out, talk with people and not have a guilt in the world about doing nothing.
I just realized, the men on the corner of the bar downstairs, do the same all day. However, I think the experience of going to the bar, sitting on the corner, drinking the beer somehow feels to them, like they are doing something, they appear to have no problem with doing nothing either.
My workers in the USA , had no problems with doing nothing. I am probably wrong here, I am the weird one, it is not normal to think you should work, the majority of persons probably spend most of their time trying to avoid work, while I am always trying to learn to avoid working.
Not an important issue, unless maybe you have no money, then being lazy has a problem. I work at doing nothing all day, nonetheless, I get more done than most. I feel I am effective.
I have been reading the book TRAVELS, by Michael Crichton, it is interesting to learn how this very accomplished writer thinks. The book is more of a self-revelation or auto-biography story, then intermixes some near death experiences or high adventure tours so the name can be Travels. I truly think the travels is just want is says on the book, the reviewer says something about going to the other end of the earth to "see oneself for the first time."
Oh, well, not good to start on incomplete thoughts, I will finish the book today, therefore, I am intuitively thinking, this guy will wrap it all up, sum it up, make a tally and a total, and explain why he assembled the book together this way, and how "Spoon Bending" is related to travel.
I think he does not like revisions, he would like my style, no revisions, and, I do not ever reread or change bad wording often, I just let it fly.
I am awake today, and went to work on time, I am able to step to the batters plate and swing at the ball hard. I can try to bang it for the bleachers today, I have tons of reserves, and I took my vitamins.
My body cycles have been adjusted, my body is in synch with Togo, Michael would probably like the idea of good Karma or Kismet.

Socialized Smiles
Lome Togo
Saturday, March 3, 2007
West Africa children smile, jump, frolic, and are just plain happy children, adults have dull eyes, dull faced, and often seem to have lost the smile.
There is a nature, nurture question here for me, where does the happy thought go? I am not sure, but I do know, that Peter Pan needed to have a happy thought or needed to travel into his mind and feelings and find the happy thoughts, then he would smile
Socialization, are people socialized to learn they should not smile? Cities teach people to not smile, there is something about cities that say, you shall not smile. However, what happens to a child when he or she grows up, that one day they decide, I will stop smiling.
There are many adults in West Africa that smile, however there is a many who do not, I am not really thinking about Africa, I am thinking about India or Nepal. If I think of China, I think of Stone Faces, impossible to smile, the face is stone.
I often think or blame the United Nations, and all the NGO, ONG's for the lack of smiles. There is someone out there telling people they are less than, that life is drudgery, I am sure the African children do not know this, and the India children do not know this, although Indian children learn very faster to not smile.
I am sure there are places where life is drudgery, painful, earmarked where taking a shower or cleaning becomes a half-day task. They will slowly learn to skip the bath and live their lives.
Life is very good in Africa, there is lots of wide open spaces, the place is not crowded, if they banned motorcycles now, it would or could continue to be so. Everything grows easily in the jungle, there is no way to stop it, the loggers have cut down all the trees, therefore a plethora of farm land is available. Food is abundant, except in the desert where someone needs to say,
- Excuse me, you are living in the worst place on the planet, will you consider moving down about 5-10 degrees of latitude? -
The happy thought, I experiment with the more jaded persons, I say bonjour until they break, I sometime need to go multiple days and multiple attempts to make them smile. There is a black/white thing here and some of them are not sure they have permission or qualified to say hello to white people. Then again, the white people here do not walk in the streets, and do not roam around saying hello, they tend to drive the SUV, an enforcement of the I am different class system, purchased by money, a good old boys clubs, a country club separation. Buying first class tickets is a kind of tribalism, caste system, or class system, the first estate, where nobody says,
- Why do we have a King or Queen? -
A lot of this is because here in Africa I have found my happy thought again, I can smile easy, I can laugh and spontaneous joke and play, I have remember to take my vitamins, life is playful.

Three Month Rule
Lome, Togo West Africa
Saturday, March 3, 2007
I am stating, there is a Three Month Rule for travelers, I have nobody else to debate with, I have thought about it for years. I know of only a couple people on the planet that have openly, overtly discussed the rule with me, however, someone has to say,
- There is a rule. -
- There needs to be a rule. -
There are unspoken traveler rules, normally that non-travelers think they qualify to use or apply.
This is about the Three Month Rule.
If I stay more than three months in one location, then I have stopped traveling and have become an expat, I am living in a different country, I am not traveling or a traveler.
1. The counting of days or months is frowned on, no true traveler is clear about what day of the week it is or the date.
2. Doing a Visa run to another country, and returning does not stop or terminate the counting of time.
3. A person must have traveled for over one year, not violated the three month rules, to be considered eligible to think about the rule, talk abut the rule, all others person shall politely admit, they are not travelers.
4. The counting of days, the counting of months is to be very loosely enforce, nobody is allowed to say to a person, show me your passport. This is bad form.
5. The passport is the proof, yet in a accordance with rule 4, no person I allowed to check your passport.
6. This is an honor system, you need to feel guilty proof of purchase system, the only person who enforces the system can be yourself, you are allowed to cheat, lie, get quirky, make up sub-rules, however in the end, you will know if you obeyed the rule. Guilt and shame is your little goblin on your shoulder, telling you what to do.
7. Persons who say the rule do not apply instantly have defined themselves as non-travelers.
8. Travelers are not expatriated or expats.
9. After violating this rule, have lived in one location for six months, a person is required to stop the time count, they must start again, they cannot say, I have traveled for X amount of years as if it was continuous travel.
10. A person is not to discuss these rules with non-travelers.
All the rules above, violate the Prime Directive of Travel which is to do what you enjoy, and not care what anybody else thinks or says, therefore the Three Month Rule is moot.
I have thought two months should be the count for years, decided, this is too short, a Visa is often is for two months to three months. A good visa is offered for 90 days or the three months, a bad visa is for 30 days or less, a great visa is six months or more. There has been many considerations about this rule, however, the biggest one is I start to feel guilty after about two months in one location and say to myself,
- I need to leave. -
This rule and conditions are automatically activated and when I hear the words, I am traveling… or,
- I am traveler. -
If you are talking with me, Andy, and I say,
- Remember to travel. -
You can take it as an insult, because it was. This means you have explained how you are traveler too long and I know, you are not.
Three Month Rule
The Togo Debate Team
Lome, Togo West Africa
Saturday, March 3, 2007
I am on the debate team, we are having a debate with the other team, both side have one member who debates, I am the person who represents both sides. How to debate against myself is sometimes a mixed up world, I will say,
- Stop fighting with yourself. -
This is the downside of travel, having to choose destinations, choose options, I am required to make a decision.
I met this man Tim from England, an ex-game making person, and he is trying to ride his motorcycle around the world. He has now taken three years to go from England to Togo, spent about a year in Senegal and a year in Ghana, now a girlfriend from Ghana is coming to Togo to visit him.
Applying the Three Month Rule of Travel, he has probably traveled for one year, and live for two years in locations.
He was very non-committal, he did not make the choice to continue to travel, in reality he made the choice in two locations to stay.
I asked,
- How long will it take to travel around the world. -
He goes this long story about finishing what he starts, how he has an endless need to complete something, alluded to a near-death experience and said,
- A girl will never stop me from travel.-
Spoken in the true male macho style, he is riding a motorcycle, but to me standing down the line on my list of macho. I gave him an out,
And said,
- I think I will some day meet a girl and never have a good excuse to leave. -
He did not take the out, or the choice.
Enough about Tim, I said,
- 25 years. -
It will take him 25 years to travel around the world, or as normal for the person who want to say something, they will cheat, skip, or go too fast, but be able to think they can say, I did it. He is Brit and seems to obey all the proper Pub rules of Brit Travel.
I am debating with myself, shall I hang around for a few weeks, or should I try to find a benchmark location about one to three hours north of Lome. Nothing spectacular about Lome, in reality a great way to avoid Black People here. The hotel, I am presently in is full of White people with black girls in tow. There is strangely what looks like two sets of French Backpackers, they smoke.
The reason to hang around in Lome is to buy things and finish small project, I have been trying finish and send a newsletter on the top travel sites of 2006, it not the first of March and not completed. I suppose I need to commit.
The Togo Debate Team
I Can Think in Togo
Lome, Togo West Africa
Thursday, March 1, 2007
I am a recovering alcoholic, I passed the 20 year mark a week or two ago.
Many alcoholics drink to avoid thinking, they wish to drink to stop thinking about life, to avoid life. They wish to hide from the world, and climb into a bottle.
I find it strange now, however, I see the whole world trying to avoid thinking. I suppose thinking can be annoying, sometimes I am very bored. I have been a little bored here in Togo, as I learn to adjust to having free time. I hid in India and Nepal from the people, they just was too much in my face, I cannot stand the constant haranguing of my day.
I see too busy as the identifier of a person who is trying to avoid thinking, or keeping too busy. It is a very good way to avoid yourself or myself. I just keep too busy doing stupid things, sometimes smart.
Not all countries are the same, I have received some nasty emails from persons who wish or think I should be in love with all countries. It is sort of funny, really is just plain stupid, why does a person read a blog and then complain to the blogger. I deleted one the other day out of the newsletter system, I hope they never notice.
I have time to think in Lome, Togo, it is sort of a mix of issue, sometimes the streets are too busy, there are a lot of motorcycles or they call them motos here, they make a lot of noise. However, on the small sand roads between the hotels here, there is a peace and quiet that is greatly appreciated.
I can now think and enjoy life, it has been a long time since I could say this completely. I really enjoy the Philippines and Thailand, however, there is too may people. West Africa has about one-fifth the number of people or concentration of people. Yes, a city, is a city, however, I have found Africa pretty much deserted.
I have time, I have a thought to myself, I can dwell on an issue, I can think clearly without the clutter accumulating in my brain of too much of everything.
When I walk outside the hotel I am presently located in, I am instantly jumped on by about 5 people to buy this or that, they are learning, I just do not say a word, I do not answer them, I do not say anything, I just keep working. It is not natural for an Indiana Farm Boy to ignore people, it is city folk way of doing things. I try to remember, the next persons I met to say, Bonjour, or Ca Va or something, then I am back to being myself.
There is something to this, I am not sure how to identify it, but whenever, I walk around and there are people grabbing or wanting me to buy in a too forceful way, then I am in the wrong place. The hotel is not too much, it is only them waiting like the normal predators sales people they are, they demand to want to make money.
I was downtown Lome yesterday, in front of the Palm Beach Hotel and thought I was going to club a guy, he literally grabbed me or touched me. This is not common, a person doe not touch a person to sell, when they do they are wanting to get slapped side the head by me.
Togo has extremely low amounts of this type of behavior, India or Nepal has large amounts of this behavior. I can think here as the ratio of pushy venders has dropped considerably.
Tourist areas are the worst, transportation areas are bad, anywhere there is five star hotels and big centers of shops, many stalls, groups of mass people selling junk that nobody needs, then there is normally pushy salesperson.
I will leave the tourist area soon, this means I also leave some of the convenience like ok internet, the big grocery stores of West Africa.
However, I am a recovering alcoholic, I like to think, I like to be with myself alone and happy. I like to be with me, to think, to talk to people, to explore.
There needs to be some maxim or rules, one could be.
- IF a person really wants to talk to you, then do not talk with them. -
A rule of travel, hehehe
On the other hand, when I am in the most remote, never seen a white man place on the planet, then everyone wants to talk with me, I can not win.
Africa, no tourist, what a great place to think.
I am sure people wonder why alcoholics also go to places like this, or hectic places, or places like India or any under-developed country. They do so they can save all their money for drinking, and it is very difficult to get in trouble with the law, family, or social customs. It is easy to be a drunk, and nobody knows your name, there is zero commitments here, if you make a fool of yourself, you can move on down he road.
What makes life fun though is watching all the chaos, mixing, and the clashing of culture, lifestyles and ideas. Everyone is very serious sometimes, I find I get too serious, it is one of the identifiers of when I need to keep it simple stupid.
I Can Think in Togo
Amazing Africa
Lome Togo West Africa
Tuesday, February 27, 2007
Africa is an amazing place, the life is slow here, the pace is slow, everything is slow. I have more time alone here, but I can see the noise, the cell phone, the cars and motorcycles will increase, there will be a slow movement from peace and quiet to chaos. I think the bigger cities like Accra, Ghana and may more are already over the edge.
It will take me a week or two to adjust to the Africa lifestyle, and remember the good and bad of Africa.
I was laughing as I purchased a baguette this morning, I could not understand the French of the lady as she said 125 CFA. As, I walked away I realized every foreigner that walked up probably spoke good French, I am alone here on the French part of life, everyone speaks French and nobody speaks English. If someone does speak English it is normally one of the working girls hanging around the Hotel.
Amazing Africa

Van Zyl leads tributes for Adam
It was with great sadness that Leinster Rugby learnt of the death of Adam Mangan, 19, who died in a tragic farm accident recently.
Adam, a talented Gaelic football player who featured for Offaly's minors, played with the Leinster U-18 Clubs team and his local club, Tullamore RFC.
Adam was a part of the Leinster U-18 Clubs team that won the Interprovincial title in 2013, scoring a try in the match against Ulster, and helping the team to lift the trophy with victory in their final game against Connacht.
Adam's coach with the U-18 Clubs, Dan van Zyl, paid tribute to a young man who was "a pleasure to coach".
Dan added: "Adam was a lovely young lad who always had a smile on his face and was a very important member of the Leinster Youth Interprovincial-winning side.
"He was a very good winger with an eye for the try-line and it was a pleasure to coach him and to have got to know him as a person.
"He captained the Midlands side when they won the Shane Horgan Cup competition and was very popular amongst his peers.
"It is a real sad day for rugby and I am distraught by the news."
Adam's parents, Ray and Janette, and his siblings Cathal, Mark and Shane are all in our thoughts, as are his friends, team-mates and the local community in Kilclonfert as they come to terms with their loss.

5 Trade Ideas for Monday: Abbott Labs, ARRIS, BorgWarner, Lockheed and Nasdaq
- Posted by Greg Harmon
- on February 12th, 2017
5 Trade ideas excerpted from the detailed analysis and plan for premium subscribers:
Abbott Labs, $ABT, peaked in August of 2016 and started a saw-tooth move lower. 3 steps found it at a bottom, at a higher low, in December. It hovered there for the rest of the year before a move higher. A slight pullback was followed by a second move up. Now it is at resistance and consolidating. The RSI has worked off an overbought condition and the MACD is flat. A push over that resistance is a trigger to participate in more upside…..
ARRIS, $ARRS, crept up to a high in December. A small pullback was bought and it rose to the high again to start January. But then it fell back further, confirming a double top and continuing lower. It spiked lower to touch the 200 day SMA January 31st and has stopped falling since. Friday it took a step higher out of consolidation. The RSI is knocking on the mid line and the MACD is about to cross up. Look for follow through to the upside to participate…..
BorgWarner, $BWA, went through a long consolidation in the fall, not seeing any of the rise that most stocks felt following the election. That changed in December though as it started higher, rising 10% in less than a week. Since that jump it has consolidated again in a triangle. It ended last week touching the top of the triangle with the RSI rising and bullish and the MACD trying to cross up. Look for a push through the top of the triangle to participate higher…..
Lockheed Martin, $LMT, had a strong trend higher end in August. The pullback found support at the 200 day SMA in October and it reversed higher. That move back up made a higher high as it stalled in November. It consolidated there for a couple of weeks and then pulled back again, this time to the 100 day SMA. It had been consolidating in a range over that for 2 and a half months until pushing higher Friday. The RSI is rising in the bullish zone and the MACD is crossed up, positive and rising. Look for follow through to participate higher…..
Nasdaq, $NDAQ, broke above consolidation in July and rose to a high in August. A shallow pullback and retest of the high that failed led to a double top and move lower to a bottom in November retracing 78.6% of the move up. It confirmed a double bottom then and moved higher, retesting the August high again. The sharp pullback in a bull flag lasted until Friday when it broke the flag higher. The RSI is turning back higher in the bullish zone and the MACD is avoiding a cross down. Look for continuation to participate higher…..

After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which heading into February Options Expiration week sees the equity markets looking strong if not moving towards getting overheated.
Elsewhere look for Gold to continue in its uptrend while Crude Oil churns marking time. The US Dollar Index is looking stronger while US Treasuries consolidate in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite and Emerging Markets both look strong and ready for more upside.
Volatility looks to remain at extremely low levels keeping the wind at the back of the equity index ETF's SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts all look great and ready for more upside in the longer timeframe but the SPY and QQQ are getting a bit hot in the short term and may need a rest. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad'em well.

Article source: The Ranch Mine
In many ways, "Uptown Row" is a development between two worlds. The site is situated less than 500 feet away from a light rail station in Uptown Phoenix, between a heavy commercial thoroughfare and historic residential district. Its typology straddles the line between a single-family home and multi-family complex. It is part of a city that relies on the automobile but is actively shifting towards public transportation. This 10-unit greyfield development designed by young Phoenix based architecture firm The Ranch Mine and built and developed by Boxwell Southwest finds harmony in a diverse neighborhood, stitching together disparate elements in a refined, modern complex.

When looking for a product or service, the first thing I ask myself is "what is the value of this service/product and how could it help me?"
If I find that a particular product or service that I like I will purchase it or add it to the wish list. Then I do my best to share that product/service with my friends, clients, and my site visitors.
When it comes to new media, I have a strict list of products, services, resources that I use and recommend. Of that list, one product I find helpful is the Blog Engage Syndication program. This program helps website owners distribute their blog articles automatically to the Blog Engage Social Network and partnered sites.
What is Blog Engage?
I have talked about Blog Engage in the past but for those haven't heard of Blog Engage, it's a social bookmarking site for bloggers and more. When I first found the site (about 3 years ago), it was still in early stages of creation and hadn't been around that long. But now, its not only a place for bloggers share their work and network, it's a place where you can build connections, make friends, learn more, and build backlinks across several different sites.
Blog Engage is currently a private membership community but with an RSS syndication membership the membership fee is waived. Once you become a member, you can join the Affiliate Lights affiliate program. With this program, you can recommend the Blog Engage Service to your readers as well and make back that money you spend each month on service.
How Well Does Blog Engage Work?
In my opinion, Blog Engage can work great for any blogger and for any niche. However, I have noticed that design oriented sites do not do as well as blogging, SEO, social media and making money blogs do. But that is only because there aren't that many designers using the network. As the site grows and more design blogs become aware of the site and its value, it will be a great service for design blogs. As for other niche, there are quite a few doing great on there. Just don't take my word for it, check out this great article from Justin DragonBlogger.Com on how much of a value the Blog Engage Network is to him and his websites.
Just remember, Blog Engage is a social community and just a place to drop your links and run. In order to get the traffic and to network with other bloggers you need to spend time engaging with the community. Use the website to vote on articles, comment on submitted articles, and spend a little time in the private Facebook group pages. If you start loosing traffic from the community, like I have, it means you aren't spending the time on the site. If this is happening to you or it happened to you in the past and you stopped the service, try engaging with the community and see if that helps you build more traffic.
How Much Does the Blog Engage RSS Syndication Service Cost?
I took a screenshot of the pricing page of Blog Engage (6/11/2012) for current prices and to purchase a service plan, check out Blog Engage.
Are You Using Blog Engage RSS Syndication?
If you are using the service, let us know what you think of the service and share your results with us.

As a volunteer photographer for AGU it has been exciting and rewarding watching the young girls grow into maturity. Seeing they perform creatively in speech, songs and dance routine is a site to see. I wish the much success and they continue to build character and maturity in the young women of today making they stronger and self-confidence to compete in a rapid changing society.
Words Can not describe how excellent this organization is. As an AGU Volunteer, I have had the pleasure to see first hand how this organization has uplifted young women and guided them through both middle school and high school towards a path of nothing less than High Self Esteem and Success. This Organization and its leaders has shown passion and great efforts to make a difference in young women's lives.
My experience with AGU has been heartwarming and fun. As a volunteer with AGU, I have seen firsthand the programs, activities, and opportunities planned for young girls. As a retired school counselor, I see these dedicated, caring, creative educated women giving positive directions to the girls they serve. The mentors of AGU organize activities that build self-esteem, and provide educational information such as financial literacy, and college tours. AGU provides social opportunites such as "Miss Manners Classes" and "Dress for Success Classes" to their clientss who would not be exposed to these situations without AGU. One of the activites that I participated in was the annual TEA presented by AGU, in which the girls were the hostess , did creative poetry and dancing and interacted with the audience with fun activites. As a volunteer, it is always fun to see the girls grow mentally, socially, emotionally and physically as they participate in this organization. I am always impressed with the mentor's patience, kindness, and positive attitude as they work with the girls. This is a fantastic, creative, fun loving organization for the young girls, mentors and volunteers.
I was a participant of All Grown Up, Incorporated when I was in high school. The mentors in this organization greatly influenced my life in a positive manner. These were high-achieving, college-educated successful women that took the time to cultivate us girls. Because of this exposure, I was able to see several examples of success, and I, too, have completed college and obtained a Master's degree. Their early influence was key, and now I am paying it forward and am volunteering with this organization. AGU rocks!
