The radical education of Trump pick Betsy DeVos
Don't miss stories. Follow Raw Story!
There was a brief moment in mid-November when education reformers were thrilled about President-elect Donald Trump's swamp-draining imperative and what it might mean for the nation's eternally beleaguered public schools. On November 16, Trump met at his Manhattan tower with Eva Moskowitz, whose Success Academy charter network has achieved impressive results with children of color across…

Carl Hoffman is the author of The Lunatic Express: Discovering the World . . . via Its Most Dangerous Buses, Boats, Trains, and Planes. A contributing editor at National Geographic Traveler, Wired, and Popular Mechanics magazines, his stories about travel, adventure and technology – and often the nexus between them — have also appeared in Outside, Men's Journal, National Geographic Adventure and Smithsonian. His reporting has taken him to 65 countries, where he's flown with missionaries in Irian Jaya and mercenary bush pilots in the Congo and south Sudan, ridden reindeer in Siberia, eaten parrot in Borneo, driven the Baja 1,000 and once sailed a 16-foot open racing dingy 250 miles. He has won four Lowell Thomas Awards from the Society of American Travel Writers. His previous book is Hunting Warbirds: The Obsessive Quest for the Lost Aircraft of World War II.
How did you get started traveling?
My first adventures took place in the pages of books. I loved books with maps and I devoured Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons, about children who discover a sailboat and an island on the lake they're visiting over the holidays: "With a lake as big as a small sea, a fourteen-foot dingy waiting in the boathouse, and the little wooded island waiting for explorers, nothing but a sailing voyage of discovery seemed worth thinking about." That line captures the birth of wanderlust better than any I've read since. I gobbled up adventure tales and novels with a strong sense of place, from T.E. Lawrence to Wilfred Thesiger to War and Peace to literary journalism. When I finished college I backpacked around the world for seven months and the world in my head matched the world in reality; I was smitten, especially with chaotic, sensual places that challenged me. I wanted to see more, to smell more, to taste more, to know more.
How did you get started writing?
I was raised in a family of readers; my father was a newspaper editor and my mother a children's librarian, and to be a writer was the greatest accomplishment I could imagine. My mother fed me novels and my father fed me the great narrative journalists like John McPhee and John Hersey; writing is all I ever wanted to do. During that first trip around the world I kept a journal and wrote letters to my family and everyone liked them; I got home and just started writing stories and selling them to newspaper travel sections.
What do you consider your first "break" as a writer?
I pitched Islands magazine for years about exotic destinations and finally sent the editor an idea about a place that was the opposite of the classic island paradise — a flat, marshy, buggy, hot island in the Chesapeake Bay inhabited by a few hundred watermen; the editor said she'd look at it on spec, so I went for a week, wrote a piece that she loved, and it won a Lowell Thomas Award soon after. Next thing I knew, she sent me to the Canary Islands for two weeks.
As a traveler and fact/story gatherer, what is your biggest challenge on the road?
To push ever deeper; to report and to find the pulse of a place through its stories and characters. I don't consider myself a travel writer so much as a journalist, and the best travel writing is good story-telling mixed with in-depth reporting. I want to know why things are the way they are, and to do that you have to connect with people and drill into their lives. For Lunatic I spent hours riding mini buses in Nairobi with a driver and his tout, and went to their homes after. I didn't just ride the same ferry route that killed 1,800 people off the coast of Senegal; I found a survivor who could tell the tale. In Mumbai I traveled with a former street thug who not only had a fascinating take on riding its commuter trains, but took me to the mortuary of a hospital where many of the trains' victims end up. Sometimes it's exhausting, but I find I have to keep pushing and digging deeper all the time. And when I do, the best jewels are found.
What is your biggest challenge in the research and writing process?
I find writing difficult. No words ever come easy; it's just a slow and patient grind that feels almost physical to me and I force myself to sit at my computer from eight or so in the morning until five or six at night, day after day after day. And in Lunatic I write about loneliness and the end of my marriage and that was difficult; I found it hard to strike the right balance between saying enough and not too much. Also, of course, it's hard on your family and social life to be away so much — it separates you from everyone in the nine to five world.
What is your biggest challenge from a business standpoint? Editors? Finances? Promotion?
The great challenge is always finding the right stories. Not topics, or interesting places, but stories that embody a place and have a great narrative and that no one's ever really told before. As long as I can find those, I can keep the work flowing in and the bills paid.
Have you ever done other work to make ends meet?
When I first started out I decided I wanted to make my living from writing only; I spent the first three years working construction to get started, but for the past 25 years I've never had a job. It's a passion and if you're not willing to give it everything than you can't do it. You have to be willing to sacrifice, to live meagerly at first, in order to have the time to write and pitch full time.
What travel authors or books might you recommend and/or have influenced you?
I love so many: Tobias Schneebaum, a gay New York artist and wonderful writer who walked naked into the Amazon in the 50s and then went to live with the Asmat on the Indonesian half of New Guinea, and wrote two books: Keep the River on Your Right and Where the Spirits Dwell. He writes about the conflict between feeling different and searching for a sense of belonging in the exotic, which is something I think about a lot. Norman Mailer said Schneebaum was both the most timid and most fearless person he'd ever met. When I was younger I loved Thesiger's Arabian Sands and T.E. Lawrence; again, I love tales about people who feel like outsiders in their own cultures and seek the connection they lack at home in the far away – it's a theme in Lunatic – and of course they find it only for a time and then always have to return 'home;' you can never escape who you really are. And I like Lawrence Osborne and Tony Horwitz, fine writers who are also good journalists evoking both a sense of place and history.
What advice and/or warnings would you give to someone who is considering going into travel writing?
To not forget the importance of reporting. It's not enough just to travel, to move, to be somewhere — you have to ask questions. I don't think anyone should aim to be a travel writer; they should strive to be a good journalist, first; a great writer can write about anything.
What is the biggest reward of life as a travel writer?
To subsume myself in otherness for a time; to have a license to ask questions and burrow into people's lives is a great privilege. To get to leave on a new adventure. And then to come home again. You can't have one without the other.

Technology is not what we seek but how we seek
Futurists have supplied some of the most penetrating visions for enterprises and organizations intent on reinventing themselves and redefining their sectors. Gerd Leonhard is something more. A humanist who not only thinks about the future, but someone who resides there and travels back to the present day to share his insights and practical wisdoms. Welcome to a new way of 'doing the present' from your chosen future.
The future is more unknowable and yet much closer than it's ever been in human history. Humanity will change more in the next 20 years than in the previous 300 years. In business life winning or losing are now happening faster than ever before. Digital transformation may be your view of the future, but in Gerd Leonhard's world it is only one among multiple Megashifts, which will completely reshape business and life.
In our personal lives, waves of technology and social change are radically reshaping our reality and creating wholly different life patterns compared to those of the previous generation. Humanity has never been as empowered before, while at the same time our lives are threatened by new kinds of instability – from vanishing jobs and weakening national identity to social unrest and terrorism.
The second decade of the twenty-first century may not quite be the world of George Orwell, yet, but living in these times is certainly puzzling. Futurism used to be the study of the future, but nowadays it's hard enough to read the present, and practically impossible to detect the long-term future exactly or confidently. Gerd Leonhard has spent his lifetime engaging with change, as a professional artist, internet entrepreneur, author and now as a visionary thinker and speaker.

Listed by Wired Magazine as one of the top 100 most influential people in Europe (2015), Gerd Leonhard's work focusses on the future of humanity and technology, digital transformation, big data, automation, AI and robotics, media, content, marketing and advertising, telecommunications, culture and tourism, banking and financial services, government and leadership. In his keynotes, presentations, workshops and advisory sessions Gerd often addresses topics such as digital darwinism and the challenges of digital transformation, the redefinition of human-machine relationships, the future of work and jobs, privacy in the era of big data, the sharing economy, and many more. His presentations are renowned for a hard-hitting and provocative yet inspiring, humorous and motivating style.
Gerd is a much sought-after speaker, having presented at more than 1500 events in 50+ countries since 2005. His list of clients include Google, Sony, UBS, Mastercard, Unilever, Lloyds Bank, WWF, Nokia, The Guardian, Telkom Indonesia, Siemens, RTL, ITV, BBC, France Telecom, Orange, Deutsche Telekom, MTN, The Financial Times, DDB, Ogilvy, Omnicom, The EU Commission, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, VISA, and many others. Gerd Leonhard is a member of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA, London). He resides in Zürich, Switzerland.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

First's bus network changes at a glance
The revamp of the First bus network for Slough and surrounding areas will end a number of key cross-county routes, replacing them with shorter hops with connecting services intended, according to First, to make the network more reliable. Here's your guide to the new services.
The most significant change to Colnbrook residents will be the scrapping of the 75, 76, 77 and 78 bus services, but the 60 and 61 buses will also have new service numbers.
The new Route 7 will depart Slough Bus Station and continue along the London Road to Trelawney Avenue to Langley's Harrow Market. It will then continue along the existing Route 75 to Axis Park, then to Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 and Heathrow Central.
This service will operate 24-hours a day, 7-days a week and will operate to a daytime frequency of up-to every 10 minutes on Mondays to Saturdays and up-to every 20 minutes on Sundays. Night service N7 will start operating at 2330 from Slough Bus Station and 0015 from Heathrow. It will operate up-to every 30 minutes seven nights a week. Alternate journeys will continue to either Central Bus Station, or serve Terminal 4 and Hatton Cross.
First has yet to publish an updated network map.
There is no change to the 81 bus service from Colnbrook to Slough and Hounslow provided by London Buses, or the 305 service from Poyle and Colnbrook to Staines and Wraysbury provided by Surrey, Windor & Maidenhead and Slough Councils.
The network change will take effect on Saturday, 24th September 2016.

In the past 12 months – Pilar Barrio tells us- we have been bombarded by hundreds, if not thousands of articles, about content marketing. Unless I'm becoming paranoid, I do see them everywhere… when I open my Twitter feed, when I visit any industry blog or magazine… Anyway, what is all about and does it really matter?
First of all, she continues, content has been king since the beginning of time. Especially since the birth of the called social web. I started my career doing precisely that: creating and distributing videos across the Internet with the aim of getting people sharing them. Back then, we hadn't rationalised the scientific bit of what we were doing. Perhaps because we didn't have a clue and were just 'experimenting' (which is what scientists do right?) or maybe we were just really busy doing what we had to do, and it worked.
So now that we know this is not new, does it really work? Do I need to spend any time or effort paying attention to content? Yes and yes! The question is how to spend your time and how to make it effective.
Humans are impatient species. And those who happen to be marketers, communicators or creators fit in that box more than any other person in the planet. So we just want to get it done, launch it and see it fly. However, the most important step to good effective content comes much earlier and it's something many tend to ignore. Here they're 5 simple steps to content success:
1- Listen into your audience conversations.
Fine, I'm not saying you start another Murdochgate here and go crazy hacking the phones of your customers. No, there is an easier (and ethical) way of doing this. You can use free or paid for tools such as Socialmention or Viralheat to do so. Identify which key topics your audience are talking about within your sector and surrounding areas of interest.
Don't limit your research to your brand and competitors. People don't just talk about brands online. For example, if you sell coach tickets, analyse conversations about traveling within the routes you cover, about their motivations to go to those places, about what they do when they get there, about what they tend to be worried about before, during and after their journey.
It's about finding out what creates engagement for the audience on social media. Then, quantify the number of conversations per topic and use them as a guide to start building your content calendars.
2 – Draw a picture of your typical 'fan'.
This is about finding out and understanding what other things they like on social media, what other products, brands, sectors they tend to follow on Twitter, like on Facebook and what content they share already. It's sometimes tricky to find out and you may need to gather the data manually on a spreadsheet to analyse it.
3 – Capture the zeitgeist.
Zeitgeist is a German word that means something along the lines of 'spirit of the time' and in this context, I'm referring to 'trends now'. What is driving conversation and engagement right now on twitter? What type of content formats are being shared everywhere? Here, you need your observation skills (e.g. I recently found that many of my Facebook and Pinterest contacts were sharing 'motivational' images and ecards). Pinterest can be great for that, as well as twitter's trending topics.
4 – Matching games.
Now the fun starts. You've spent some time doing your research, you know your audience better and are ready to create your content calendar. So all you need is to apply a 'brand filter' (are the topics relevant to my brand personality?) first and then a 'messaging filter' ('can I convey my brand messages using these themes as a container'?) and voila!
5 – Choose your format.
Finally, your zeitgeist research should have guided you to choose the best formats in which deliver your messages. Is it a 'how to' video? Is it 'an ecard'? Is it a 'poll with an image'? Whatever you end up creating, read it out loud and think 'Would I click, share or like that post if it wasn't my business'? If the answer is no, then you know what to do.
There are, of course, loads of best practices to take into account when creating content for different social platforms and we know that a visual statement is essential on places like Facebook or Pinterest, however it's all about keeping your eyes (and ears) open and learn from the world around you. Good luck!
It's your turn now! Any doubt that came across when following these steps? Something else to add to this post? Leave us a comment! We'll be very glad to hearing from you!
In the meantime, follow our contributor Pilar Barrio's website or Twitter account. Fancy knowing the latest trends and info about social media? Come and follow us on Twitter or Google+, or find new pictures and infographics on Pinterest. Why not to join our interesting conversations with other specialists on our fanpage and our LinkedIn Group. We'll be waiting for you!

If you're happy in your r/s how would you phrase the sentence that you were at a vacaction with your bf, if a friend of you two asked you?
- "I have been at vacation with my boyfriend."Vote A
- "I have been at vacation with [his first name]."Vote B
- "I have been at vacation with [his nick name]."Vote C
- They're interchangalbe. It's Either of the options mentioned above.Vote D
- idk/wanna c resultsVote E
Most Helpful Guy
To be honest, if a friend asked me, I wouldn't tell them. Because in my mind, a vacation serves to get away from the city, including people!00|00|0
"we have been" past tense. So it's in the past and you're already in the city. Thus it shouldn't matter whether you want to escape from people during your vacation or not, because now they can't follow you in your vacation anyway.
I guess I wouldn't talk too much about it. I would refer to the vacation as "I have been" as I am very conservative about information.

The Republican John Kyl has baffled observers by proposing amendments that are widely seen as ludicrous.
Anti-Arab senator's odd political tactics
For years, Jon Kyl, a Republican senator from Arizona, has made himself the point man for anti-Arab and anti-Muslim initiatives in the US Senate. At times, his behaviour appears to be so motivated by negative animus that it can be described as nothing less than bizarre. In 2003, for example, Mr Kyl used his chairmanship of the Senate judiciary committee's subcommittee on terrorism, technology and homeland security to hold "informational hearings" on Saudi Arabia.
The hearing was timely, to be sure, but it was most definitely not informative. The three witnesses he called to testify had all written books on the kingdom: Dore Gold, former spokesman for the government of the Israeli prime minister at the time, Benjamin Netanyahu, and author of Hatred's Kingdom: How Saudi Arabia Supports the New Global Terrorism; Steven Schwartz, a former Trotskyist who converted to Sufism, had written The Two Faces of Islam: The House of Sa'ud from Tradition to Terrorism; and Robert Baer, a former CIA officer who had served in the Gulf region during the 1990s, author of Speak No Evil: The Truth About Saudi Arabia and Their Crude Threat to the West. What all of them had in common was a dislike for all things Saudi and the fact that none had ever been to the kingdom.
This year, however, Mr Kyl has taken things to a new level. Last month, for example, at the behest of the Center for Security Studies, a notorious anti-Muslim outfit, Mr Kyl invited Geert Wilders, the Dutch parliament member and demagogue to show his inflammatory video Fitna at a special reception on Capitol Hill. No mere controversial politician, Mr Wilders is under indictment for incitement to hate and discrimination in his home country. Before coming to the US, he had been denied entry to Britain to show his video before the House of Lords. Mr Wilders is not shy in promoting his views, once telling The Guardian newspaper that "Islam is something we can't afford any more in the Netherlands".
"We need to stop the Islamisation of the Netherlands. "That means no more mosques, no more Islamic schools, no more imams." Mr Kyl's invitation to Mr Wilders and the showing was especially troubling and revealing of Mr Kyl's motivation, since it was timed to conflict with a hearing convened by John Kerry, a senator and chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee. Mr Kerry's hearing was titled Engaging with Muslim Communities Around the World, and featured as witnesses Madeleine Albright, the former secretary of state, Adm William Fallon, the retired Centcom commander, and a number of prominent American Muslims.
Further evidence of Mr Kyl's penchant for the bizarre anti-Arab or anti-Muslim gesture came this week when the senator sponsored three amendments to his chamber's efforts to pass a budget bill. Republicans who had been using parliamentary manoeuvres to block a vote on the fiscal 2009 budget reached a compromise with the Democrats, which would allow a vote if the Republicans could introduce a number of amendments to the resolution. Thirteen such amendments were introduced, three by Mr Kyl.
Mr Kyl's amendments did not focus on cutting earmarks or on wasteful spending or on big government - all objects of Republican criticism. Instead, all of Mr Kyl's amendments targeted Palestinians. One was redundant, insisting that "none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act ? [be] diverted to Hamas or entities controlled by Hamas" - US law already forbids such transactions. Another required a report on whether some of the military aid the US provides to Egypt should be set aside "to improve efforts to counter illicit smuggling, including arms smuggling, across the Egypt Gaza border".
It was the third Kyl amendment that left many observers baffled. This amendment would require that "none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be made available to resettle Palestinians from Gaza into the United States". What, you might be asking, is this about? It appears that a scurrilous story is circulating on right-wing websites, claiming that Barack Obama, the president, has issued an executive order to resettle Palestinians from Gaza in the United States, and has dedicated US$20.3 million (Dh74.5m) for this purpose. The story has grown with the telling, to the point where now conspiracy theories suggest there is a presidential order that will allow hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States.
Enough fringe groups have pushed this baseless story so hard that it has gotten a page of its own on a website that debunks "urban legends". Nevertheless, Mr Kyl used his prerogative as the second-ranking Republican in the Senate to potentially hold up the entire budget so that the Senate may vote on an amendment based on a hoax. Only after being rebuked by Mr Kerry did Mr Kyl agree to withdraw this amendment, acknowledging that it was premised on a scurrilous rumour.

Law Professor Plays an Active Role at UN Legal Aid Conference in Buenos Aires
December 02, 2016
Professor David McQuoid-Mason (second left) with delegates at the Conference.
Winning the annual Ellie Newman Moot Court competition, beating 320 participants by showcasing outstanding legal skills, is a sure sign that fourth-year Law student Mr Elisha Kunene is equipped for success in the legal profession.
Kunene competed in the Moot final - hosted by the School of Law in Durban - alongside finalists Ms Jolene Thompson, Mr Andile Mabaso and Mr Connor Alexander.
The finalists displayed their legal prowess in front of judges, Law School academics Professor Karthy Govender, Ms Lindiwe Maqutu, Professor Tanya Woker and Mr Vishal Surbun as well as family and friends.
A highlight at the final was third-year Law student Mr Andile Mcineka being awarded the Yunus Mohammed Public Interest Law Award by Madam Justice Dhaya Pillay for his article: "Winnie Getting the Short End of the Stick", which was published in The Sunday Tribune.
The award recognises Mcineka's valuable contribution to knowledge in the field of public law.
'There was depth in his argument; he drew on judgments in a coherent manner; it was a pleasure interacting with him…' these were some of the comments made by the judges on Kunene's performance before his announcement as the winner which was greeted with resounding applause and a standing ovation from the audience.
'Winning the Ellie Newman award means the world to me. It's literally a dream come true. My time in 'varsity has been quite difficult in a number of ways but I was determined to finish strongly and I sort of viewed this year as a rebuilding period,' says Kunene.
'Earlier in the year a good friend of mine and I won the Southern African National Debating Championships and I ranked first in the country. So I really feel like God is with me on this winning streak.'
The great debater who used his skills to coach school debating teams to generate funds for his university tuition got academic merit scholarships from UKZN for his first and second year. However, monetary challenges nearly saw Kunene being financially excluded in his second year.
'In a remarkable turn of events I was able to stay and complete my studies thanks to a generous intervention by Norton Rose Fulbright. The firm and I parted ways this year but I will always be grateful to them and to everyone else who have contributed to keeping me going,' he said.
Looking to the future, Kunene said: 'I have been granted the great privilege of being accepted to clerk for Justice Raymond Zondo at the Constitutional Court next year.' His long-term plans include becoming an advocate.
Thandiwe Jumo
Professor David McQuoid-Mason of the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies presented a paper at the 2nd International Conference on Access to Justice and Legal Aid in Criminal Justice Systems in Buenos Aires.
The conference - held under the auspices of the Argentinian Ministry of Justice and Office of the Federal Public Protector, the International Legal Foundation, UNODC and UNDP - aimed to promote full implementation of the UN Principles and Guidelines on Access to Legal Aid in Criminal Justice Systems (2012) and the UN Model Legal Aid in Criminal Proceedings Law (2015), particularly for Latin American countries.
McQuoid-Mason was one of the International Legal Aid Experts who assisted with the drafting of the UN Principles and Guidelines as well as the UN Model Legal Aid Law which he proposed at the First UN Legal Aid Conference in Johannesburg in June 2014.
McQuoid-Mason's paper was titled: "Challenges Faced When Seeking to Include the United Nations Principles and Guidelines' Non-lawyer–Centred Provisions in Legal Aid Legislation for Developing Countries with Small Numbers of Lawyers".
He also facilitated a session on: "The Role and Function of Legal Aid Boards in Administration".
McQuoid-Mason further arranged a meeting of African Legal Aid Providers which was facilitated by Judge Dunstan Mlambo, Chair of the Board of Legal Aid South Africa, and held several side-meetings with legal aid representatives from Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Fiji and Pakistan, all of which he has helped or is assisting with their Legal Aid programmes.

The One Ring was also known as Ruling Ring, the Master Ring, the Doom of Man, the One Ring, the Ring of Power, and Isildur's Bane.
Sauron disguised himself as Annatar, or "Lord of Gifts", and aided the Elven smiths of Eregion and their lord Celebrimbor in the making of the Rings of Power. He then forged the One Ring himself in the fires of Mount Doom. But creating the ring simultaneously strengthened and weakened Sauron's power. On the one hand, as long as Sauron had the ring, he could control the power of all other Rings of Power, and thus he was significantly more powerful. On the other hand, by binding his power within the Ring, Sauron became dependent on it. Without it his power was significantly diminished.
The words of the Ring-inscription are in Black Speech, a language devised by Sauron and used in the land of Mordor. The inscription reflects the One Ring's power to control the other Rings of Power. The writing uses Elvish letters, in a mode adapted to the Black Speech.
Normally the One Ring appeared perfectly plain and featureless, but when heated its inscription appeared in fiery letters. A drawing of the inscription and a translation provided by Gandalf appears in Book I, Chapter 2 of The Fellowship of the Ring, "The Shadow of the Past".
Gandalf speaks the words in Black Speech in Book II, Chapter 2, "The Council of Elrond":
Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul,
Ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.
Translated, the words mean:
One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
- When Sauron captured Celebrimbor, he makes him refine the Ring to conceal its power. Celebrimbor, however, not only does this but also gives the Ring a will of its own. He then steals it from Sauron and uses it to try and defeat him and rescue his family. This attempt ultimately fails, resulting in his and his family's death, and causing him to become a wraith bound to Mordor. Ironically this failure was only made possible due to Celebrimbor earlier giving the ring a will of its own consequently causing the ring to slip off his finger at a critical moment and return to its true master.
- In The Bright Lord DLC, the game reveals further details about the One Ring when Celembrimbor use it to brand Uruks, ghûls, caragors, and Graugs which explains how the One Ring rules them all.

At long last, I have located a copy of the first version of the Black Veil (many thanks to Vyrdolak!), the "Vampyre Almanac" version. This was written by Father Sebastiaan van Houten back in 1999, or possibly 1998, and is mentioned in the 1998-1999 edition of Vampyre Almanac. Lest important roots be forgotten (as some would prefer), I have included it below for historical purposes, for reference, and so that it can be compared to subsequent versions. In the few short years since the Black Veil was first written, its evolution reflects the evolution of the Vampyre lifestyle and subculture (as well as the vampire roleplayers community) into something more than mere roleplaying. With the efforts of Father Sebastiaan and a number of other like-minded individuals with a vision in the New York City ("Gotham") area, the Sanguinarium was formed and the Black Veil became more than a mere set of guidelines for vampire-pretenders to interact with each other.
This early version was presented to the then-forming real vampire community (which had some overlap with the vampyre lifestyle community, and still does today), but was met largely with criticism and rejection because of its rather roleplay-like concepts and language. Also, there was concerns of plagiarism. Michelle Belanger rewrote it in 2000 (version 2). Sanguinarius helped present the improved version to the vampire community as "The 13 Rules of the Community", and it was received much better than the first, although there were still those who rejected it.
To see other versions of the Black Veil and more information, please click back to Sanguinarius's Articles Index, Vampyric Lifestyle & Culture and select a different version. For an alternative to The Black Veil, refer to The Vampire Ethos.
Vampyre Etiquette – The Black Veil ("The Forgotten One")
The "Black Veil" is a code of vampyre etiquette developed by and for the members of the Sanguinary Society. It is based on common sense and a collected from years of experience. Many Societies and Households have their own versions of this mixture of philosophy and ethics. It is the job of a sire to teach the Black Veil to their childe as part of them becoming Calmae.
Treat others with respect and consideration at all times. Get to know them as you would in any other social situation.
It is disgraceful for an individual to represent the scene to any media organization that would exploit and take advantage of the scene. In addition exhibit any behavior which might threaten the community as a whole, such as attracting negative media exposure or the interest of fundamentalist religious groups.
Honor thy elders, it is proper bow to them or more formal greeting as one would nobility. They are to be addressed as Sire, Milord or Milady at havens and society functions.
Do not approach, make advances on or touch anyone's thralls or children without permission. If you wish to move on someone's kitra (vampyres lover / soul mate) ask permission from both members of the relationship in a polite manner.
First names and pseudonyms usually are used within the scene. Everyone's personal identity is confidential, so avoid using last (or real) names in meetings and pseudonyms in scene settings.
Bloodletting and or blood drinking is not considered proper in a haven or publicly, nor is drinking from unwilling individuals.
During Court, fledglings are to be seen and not heard.
When greeting another sanguine it is proper to employ the sanguine greeting (which varies from scene to scene). Most generally involved the one of lesser notoriety initiating an exchange of kisses on the back of each hand.
Vampyres are ladies and gentlemen; the vampyre aesthetic commonly incorporates traditions past eras and the courtly elements of respect between individuals and the genders. Honor and Chivalry are expected to be carried out as if we grew up with such traditions.
Hospitality is one of the most important things for vampyres, try and make your home or haven open to those from other cities, as long as they respect your local traditions and customs. Honor the traditions and customs of the locals of any new domain you enter, you may learn a great deal.
Everyone's opinion is valid, although it might differ from ones own. Honor someone else's opinion as new knowledge and do not condemn it.

Lovelies, as I mentioned in this post, I am taking some time off from blogging to decide if and/or how I want to move forward with Consider Me Lovely. In the meantime, I am honored to have some friends of mine guest post!
Hi, it's Tasha from Imperfect Concepts. Sharing a motivational guest post today. As, Rocquelle is on a blog sabbatical of sorts, deliberating on her next brilliant and strategic move.
I have been doing some reflective thinking over the last couple weeks about why it is so hard for women entrepreneurs to succeed, especially when compared to their male counterparts. The one thing I've noticed after speaking to several creative business owners is that is that we as females, tend to be more negative thinkers when compared to male business owners .
We think to ourselves all too often, "everyone is counting on ME." I can't possibly finish all of these pressing matters and still be a good mother, daughter, sister, girlfriend or whatever. In essence, we compare our chapter two to someone else finished book, a book that has been edited over and over. Honestly it is not far to any of us to compare ourselves to others or place unrealistic expectations upon ourselves.
Several years ago, my life wasn't perfect. I was living a lie of unhappiness and smiling through the pain. Couldn't we say that's what women are taught? At the time, I had a life coach but I was only going through the motions.
Late last year, I knew the passion I had for my retail store was dying, but at the same time, another passion was coming full circle. This passion was helping other women create the businesses they love. How could I, a person that lacked passion in my own retail venture help other women ignite their fires? I could and I had to, I decided in April 2013 that no matter what punches came my way, I would succeed and my business would succeed. Most importantly, I would help others succeed on their own terms.
I flipped the negative Nancy switch and said, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." I say this phrase countless times a day. I have trained my thoughts.
Women are powerful! United, we are a force to be reckoned with. Today is the last day you get to be the victim. Today is the day you claim, "I am a conqueror and I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
Believe in your dreams, goals, & visions because they matter. Chase after your hearts desires, today not tomorrow.
What are some dreams and desires that you need to chase? What's keeping you from chasing them?

This bread has been on constant rotation around our house lately. It is delicious (especially right out of the oven) and it is pretty healthy so I feel good about eating it, too. I have always found baking to be really therapeutic, and I seem to have a major baking itch lately. January has called for some serious comfort food and therapy in the form of baking it seems.

Chipotle Pimento Cheese
It's pretty clear that we love pimento cheese around here. I mean this is the second pimento cheese recipe I have posted in less than a year. Pimento cheese is a staple in most southern households and growing up, you usually could find pimento cheese or chicken salad in the fridge at my house. But I never really was a fan of pimento cheese until after I was pregnant. It is so strange how your tastes can change after having a baby! Now I can't get enough…clearly.
Spiced Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting
I hope that everyone isn't already over pumpkin recipes because I have the best one. Yep. Delicious, cinnamon-spiked pumpkin cake covered in cream cheese frosting. I'm sorry that I have been sitting on this one for weeks. I've been meaning to post the recipe but have no excuse. In all honesty, I made this in the middle of September and again at the beginning of October. Oh, and again at the end of October. I've been so busy eating pumpkin bars that I clearly have had no time to post the recipe!
I've made a lot of pumpkin recipes this fall much to my husband's dismay. He claims he isn't a fan of pumpkin but continues to "try" recipes over and over again. The so-called pumpkin haters in my house have not deterred me from making many pumpkin treats. I've made chocolate chip pumpkin bread and roasted butternut squash orrechiette. There's been pumpkin cornbread (recipe coming soon) and pumpkin cinnamon rolls. And I have an entire pinterest board dedicated to Fall (read: pumpkin) recipes.
Four Berry Yogurt Muffins
Before berry season comes to an end, I had to sneak in one recipe using all of the fresh berries at the market. These muffins are a favorite in our house because they are easy to make and bursting with berry goodness. This recipe takes the standard blueberry muffin and elevates it with the addition of three other berries. Cinnamon adds some warmth and greek yogurt cuts some of the fat so you can feel a little better about your waistline. Even though it is after Labor Day, it still feels very much like summer here in Texas!
{How-to} Make Homemade Ricotta Cheese
Just call me Master Cheesemaker. On second thought, don't. But I would like to inform you that I have officially made homemade ricotta. Twice. Yep, you read that right. I am officially crossing "make your own cheese" off the bucket list. And guess what? You can, too! After several years of carting my plastic wrapped, brand new cheesecloth from apartment to apartment, I finally busted it open and took it for a test run. Watch out Cowgirl Creamery, here I come. No, I joke. I could never do anything that required molding or resting, aging or brining. But what I can do is this. Add milk, cream, and buttermilk to a pot. Heat for 15 minutes. Let sit for 30. Drain in cheesecloth. Eat. As my Food Network leading lady, Ina Garten, would say, "how easy is that??" It is ridiculously easy indeed, Ina.
Momofuku Compost Cookies & A Special Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to Jessss-ssssieeeee, Happy Birthday to you! Today, April 11th, is my little sister's 27th birthday! That's right. We are getting soooo old! And that's not all party people, today is my half birthday. As I'm sure my sister fondly remembers, since we are exactly 18 months apart, I always insisted on celebrating my half birthday on Jessie's real birthday. It took a few years, but she soon realized that she could celebrate her half birthday on my birthday (October 11th, mark your calendars) so it ended up being pretty fair, really.
Granola Bars
Happy Friday! So to end a very long, rainy week, I am happy to report that the sun finally decided to show its face again, AND spring is right around the corner (can you believe March is only a few short days away?). Daylight savings time? Is that you? Your late nights are so close, I can feel it.
Avocado Toast
A quick afternoon snack, this avocado toast is on frequent rotation at my house. Obsessed with the Cafe Gitane version I once had in NYC in a cramped corner table, I decided to recreate it at home and whaddya know? It is super simple and just as tasty as the Gitane version. Okay, maybe not quite as good but pretty close. And did I say how easy it was? Mash a ripe avo, spread on toast, sprinkle with some red pepper flakes, drizzle with a little olive oil (good quality of course), and voila, a healthy afternoon snack!

How untenable is the idea of eliminating earmarks? So untenable that Republicans are now borrowing from Bill Clinton to walk back what was recently one of their top initiatives.
"I am proud to stand with Leader Boehner in calling for an end to earmarking as we know it," Tweeted House GOP conference chair Mike Pence today. The sentiment was echoed — retweeted, as the kids like to call it — by Boehner himself, and Pence put out a statement today calling for "Congress to make the hard choices that are necessary to break Washington's spending addiction, and ending earmarks as we know them is a step in the right direction."If that language sounds familiar to you, it should. It's almost word for word identical to President Bill Clinton's pledge to "end welfare as we know it." Of course, Clinton hardly ended welfare — he reformed it.
Clinton no more ended welfare than Republicans plan to end earmarks. The GOP Pledge to America is entirely silent on earmarks, and Boehner has been unable to say, when pressed, that Republicans will push to end earmarks altogether if they retake the House.
For those keeping budget score, however, it's worth pointing out that a complete elimination of earmarks would reduce the budget deficit by $0.

It shames us to admit that we have recently found ourselves in unfamiliar territory. We are sincerely looking forward to a classical concert. This classical concert, in fact. The Dallas Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Marc Albrecht and accompanied by guest concert pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, hits more psychological highs and lows than a high school home room with the moody expressions of Wagner, Liszt, and Strauss. The full bill includes Wagner's Overture and Venusberg Music from Tannhaüser, Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 2 (perhaps the most cheerful of the bunch), and Strauss' Death and Transfiguration as well as his Dance of the Seven Veils from Salome.

Our Dear Bat Guy series we started last month went well enough to give it another run. If you have any questions then try us at [email protected] Or, you can hit us up on one of our many social media channels like Facebook and Instagram.
This months Dear Bat Guy delivers some serious answers for two piece piece bats for younger kids as well as the reason, from an insightful reader, as to why they prefer non-composite barrels. Other questions just make us laugh. But, now, you atleast get to revel in the stuff we sort through! But we love it! See last months Dear Bat Guy about Impedance Matching.
A Serious & Insightful Conversation
Dear Bat Guy,
Thanks so much for your site and the time you put into it. I dare say I spend an inordinate amount of time on it. I particularly enjoyed your mail bag post today and hope you do make it a regular thing. While it is true that answers to many of the questions folks ask are available on your site, your responses can still be illuminating.
For example, in your response to andrew35, you noted that the 2016 voodoo raw and the voodoo one are best swung by a very strong batter. This was a useful insight as I had been considering the raw -9 for my almost 13 yr old son as his first senior league bat. He is a good hitter, but he is still waiting on that growth spurt. Based on your response to Andrew35, I think either the cat7 -8 or the covert -9 may be a better fit, although a bit pricey. I had been tempted by a rip-it element one -10 I saw for approx $60, but passed on it as I was thinking it would be good for him to start getting used to a heavier bat (he currently swings a 30/20 in his youth league). Any thoughts on that?
Sorry to ramble on a bit and thanks again for all the fantastic info.
Bat Guy:
Thanks for the comment and thanks or reading. We hope to make the mailbag a regular thing.
Of the bats you mentioned the COVERT drop 9 would be his best, lightest, swing. We have swung the drop 10 extensively and love it. We can't imagine the drop 9 is much different. But, to your point, it is not cheap at the moment. We always struggle to pay original retail price on a bat knowing full well that in 9 months it is probably half that price.
In terms of pure value, We would look at the drop 8 Senior Barrel 2016 MAKO TORQ. I get the spinning handle is hated by most. But, really, you can tape it down with some simple athletic tape or buy a Lizard Skin and tape it down entirely. That bat for $110 is a STEAL and parents just can't get over the spinning handle. But in terms of barrel size and pure performance it really can't be beat. And for $110 on a top shelf performance bat? Really, hard to go wrong. Here is the 30/22 for $109: http://amzn.to/2kE8aA5
Thanks Bat Guy,
The TORQ is a great value but I am inclined to go with an alloy barrel. We don't need to purchase for a little while so hopefully the Covert's price drops.
Bat Guy:
Out of curiosity, and this is a very sincere question, why an alloy barrel? I'd love to hear your take as to why someone might prefer an alloy barrel over a composite one. I think there are plenty of good reasons. Just wondering if there is anything specific for you.
I like not having to worry about break in, both the time and also whether or not it was done right. Plus, the fact that the barrel has only a limited number of hits is something I worry about messing with my head, although I suspect I overdo that concern. I do have a weakness for the sound of alloy!
Dear Bat Guy,
My son also typically prefers a slight end load or at least not a super light feel. That said, of all the bats he has used, he has probably hit the best with his CF7.

2018 Bat Model Release Dates
Email: When will the 2018 model bats come out?
Bat Guy: Wow. We've yet to even think about those. But, if manufacturers hold true to what they have done in years past for baseball expect some teaser bats to come out in June 2017 and then a full on marketing press come August. Most 2018 performance bats will go on sale in September of 2017.

Garage Sale Deals
Facebook: So I bought 2 bats at a garage sale this week. 2013 Demarini vexxum 2 5/8 barrels size 31 and size 32…what do you think about those bats are they great?
Bat Guy: Great? That's not the word to use for the 2013 Vexxum. But they are good bats. Yet a garage sell deal on DeMarini is always a fun thing to swing. At $10 a pop, or less, we would have bought them too.

Facebook: Just hard to believe that a 2 peace bat is best for a 7 year old, I can't see a 7 year old generating enough bat speed to make that bat bend. I would have guest a one peace alloy for a 7 year old. Please let me know your input…..
Just Bat Reviews: Two piece bats aren't good because they can bend. You don't want them to bend.
Two piece bats are good because they take the sting out of the hands because the vibration can't travel through the transition piece. It also allows the manufacturer to better control swing weight when the bat is made in pieces—especially composite pieces.
Bats DO NOT flex on the swing. That is a salesman/manufacturer's myth.

Blue or black. White or gold? This debate went viral yesterday. Consequently, I was distracted enough to forget about the hoodie that killed Trayvon Martin.
That young man died on the same day that we got distracted by this "debate." On February 26, 2014, a child was shot down by someone who continues to break the law.
I wonder how many Facebook photos would have changed yesterday if this wasn't such a large issue. How many hoodies would have been posted again? Maybe none. Maybe many.
The great dress debate could be ironic. It could be more.
But please don't forget.
Please remember that we lost a valuable child to a void society. An absence of love. A hoodie. We lost a child to ignorance. Don't forget. All lives matter. All deaths rob us of a second chance.

Hello My Lovelies,
Contrary to my usual Wednesday Bring IT! series – I'll be the only one Bringin' the goods today :D!
This may be one of the shortest blog post you've seen from me, so don't gasp! And don't be snarky either ;). It may be short but there's a lot of sweat and happy tears behind it.
As some of you already know, I put out a call to the blogosphere 2 weeks ago for people to drop by and let me know when they publish their blog posts along with a few other things I had asked for.
264 comments later…plus slightly swollen fingers and a bit of blurred vision…
I'm pleased to present you with The Practical Guide to Blog Posting Schedules.
Inside, is a nice and neat table of 82 blogs (the one's whose authors came over and commented) along with their direct links, authors, taglines and publishing days. I tried to keep it as basic and simple as possible so as to make it easy to follow. I hope you find it useful. And if you don't, you can always keep it as a souvenir lol.
But before you download it, please make sure to thank my good friend and partner in crime Brankica from Live Your Love, for her very cool design and PDF skills. She's the little techie genius who turned my shabby looking Excel sheet into this pretty PDF file I got for you here.
Oh, and Bran also spoon fed me the instructions to install that nifty little "Share to Get" button you see below.
I always say 2 heads are better than one, and in all honesty, I couldn't have worked with a better head on this project.
You see folks, that's the beauty of using Social Media the way it was intended. You make friends along the way, who sooner or later come to the rescue when you need them or turn into great business partners and collaborators.
To grab yourself a copy of this FREE guide, all you have to do is share it on Twitter or Facebook. Yup, that's the cheap price you gotta' pay. But if you ask me, it's kinda worth it.

We know that 10 HDA is an essential measurement of royal jelly and its potency/quality. Studies have shown that royal jelly may have estrogen-like effects and the 10-HDA components may be significant to this.
"Royal jelly (RJ) excreted by honeybees and used as a nutritional and medicinal agent has estrogen-like effects, yet the compounds mediating these effects remain unidentified. The possible effects of three RJ fatty acids (FAs) (10-hydroxy-2-decenoic-10H2DA, 3,10-dihydroxydecanoic-3,10DDA, sebacic acid-SA) on estrogen signaling was investigated in various cellular systems."
In fact it appears that this substance has an impact on hormones in both males and females. In men, it may have the capacity to increase testosterone production and in women, the production of estrogen.
If you need to dig a little deeper into these effects then the following may be useful –

Any SMUGgers expert in using Google Earth on the iPad and iOS 7?
I'm trying to find a way to get a list of saved places from my Mac to my iPad in Google Earth.
What I've found essentially says put everything you want to transfer into a folder in GEMac, export as a kmz file, then open that in Google Earth on the iPad, either via Dropbox and open with... or by sending yourself an e-mail with the file attached.
But I don't see any listing of places in GEiOS, or any way to save a place even after you look it up with the Search box. Am I missing something obvious?

Chandigarh, India (PressExposure) October 28, 2009 -- Many people are under the impression that once they have bought a computer, they do not have to bother much about computer repairs, because after all, the computer is new, and the manufacturer is a reliable company with a good market standing. What they do not understand is that the machine is a machine and they may find the computer not working properly because of a virus or a downloaded program which has wrecked the functioning of the system. If you live in Cary, then you should have number of few Cary Computer Repair service providers.
That is the reason why it is extremely necessary for a person to make sure that he has the best (most cost effective and reliable) professional computer repair service provider in the area. So for example if you have a computer and you're living in Cary, you have an option of asking your own computer dealer to provide you with the address of a good Cary computer repair service, or make sure that he rectifies the computer, whenever it faces any possible technical problems.
A good Cary computer repair provider is going to have a large number of professionals working for him, who are going to give you adequate and proper service, whenever required.

One of the hardest lessons to learn about Christmas or holiday gifts is that the focus needs to be on the other person. It's always easier to think about what we want to give the person, rather than what the person really wants.
I have been given some lemons for presents down through the years – and probably have given my share of duds too.
When I was about 10 years old I really wanted an electric train. Other kids wanted toy trucks or BB guns, but my wish was for a train. My parents always gave me an argument, but there was not doubt in my mind that Santa had taken my call and was working on it.
On Christmas day that year I rushed downstairs to look under the tree and, sure enough, I saw the long cardboard box that I had been wishing for. I ran upstairs and woke up my parents. "I got my train. I got my train," I repeated.
My father said, "You did?"
My mother looked at my father. "I thought you said…."
I ran downstairs and tore open the box. Ugh, a tool box! There was the plastic pliers. And there, the wooden screwdriver. What a letdown.
Half a century has passed since that day. You would think that I could put that behind me now, but no, the disappointment is still there, tempered by the realization that I have gotten many hundreds of wonderful presents since.
More recently, a relative sent me an unusual Christmas present, probably the all-time lemon – a huge, white plaster map (of California, for some reason) that she had already started to paint and then stopped. She also sent me along some paints, in case I wanted to finish the job. Big question mark here.
If you really want to know what to get someone, you have to listen to what they are saying and put aside your own feelings.
Sometimes they don't even know what they want. Then, you have to pay particular attention to what they are doing and how they are acting. This is the more difficult, but infinitely more rewarding, part – trying to figure out what they themselves don't fully understand.
Half of Christmas is about love and appreciation, but the other half is about diplomacy. Avoiding the embarrassing moment gets complicated. Some years ago my wife and I got my father-in-law an electric knife. Later, my mother-in-law told me, "He sure loves his electric knife." I felt gratified.
Years later, they got me a similar electric knife. When I asked him if he still used his, he seemed perplexed.
"Oh, we threw that thing out years ago," he said, apparently forgetting that it had been a present from us. "I don't believe in them."
Another embarrassing moment is when you open up that gift that you know you would never in a thousand years be caught using. Your mind is saying, "Hmmm, what the devil am I going to do with this thing?" But you find your lips saying, "Oh, isn't this an interesting gift."
In the final analysis, it's all relative. Today's DVD player is tomorrow's Rubic's Cube. Just go with it.
We know Christmas has flaws, but what makes it the best holiday is that we get a chance to tell each other how we feel about them without having them look at us like we're crazy. So go with it. Get embarrassed.

I have been long distance dating this guy. Every time he comes to town we're all over each other but when he leaves its like we dont even know each other. Any reasons why?
Most Helpful Girl
Three years ago, a man from Egypt found me on FB and we began a whirl wind romance. After spending a lot of Time on Yahoo and Skype, I flew over to stay with him and his lovely family for 30 days. Things went so well that 3 months later, I flew back, where we tied the knot in Cairo
After returning to the states, we Continued full force to keep the bond of Matrimony going as strong as we could By using our ol' faithful Computers, such as Skype. This helped keep our lines of communication open at all times, and even with our many problems that we do Did and still Do face, we still Continue to Communicate, trying to work it out. It's the next best thing to be being there...
LDL is one of the hardest relationships to have. It takes a lot of time and effort and if Only One person is exerting the energy into the Long distance, then there will Finally, after the lovey dovey stuff later----Be nothing Left to be said...
Make the move to Begin your Beguine with him. If you are not doing Skype, then start This. If you Are, then suggest This more with him. He has to understand that your relationship is Not just Whenever he pops into town, that it Must Continue to be nurtured and nursed, for without This, Compromise, trust and loyalty, you will eventually end up with nothing.
Perhaps he is Not into the 'Computer Convo' Commitment. However, it goes with the LD territory, whether he is There or Not, And----Likes it or not. Out of touch has to be Just as Important as 'In touch' when you are in this sort of relationship.
Good luck. xx00|00|0

GOP Lawmaker Called Civil Rights Hero John Lewis A 'Racist Pig' And Immediately Got DESTROYED
Republicans just can seem to get over the fact that beloved civil rights leader Rep. John Lewis (D-GA.) dared to question President-elect Donald Trump's legitimacy. And unbelievably, one has even gone as far as to call him a racist pig, Raw Story reports.
John Lewis is a civil rights icon
Yes, really. Tommy Hunter, a Republican who sits on the Gwinnett, Georgia, County Board of Commissioners went so far as to call Lewis a "racist pig" on his Facebook page this past weekend and had the temerity to question Lewis' own legitimacy, reports the Atlanta Journal -Constitution.
"John Lewis' district is drawn to keep him in power," Hunter opined. "His wins are all illegitimate. How can other reps be concerned about working with him."
He also wrote other such "witty" remarks on his FB page:
"There ain't one political pundit that didn't say on November 9 that this would be Demonrats EXACT response to Trump winning. Like I heard Rush, I believe, say Demonrats do not live in reality. They believe the polls were right and THE REAL VOTES WERE WRONG. What a bunch of idiots."
Fortunately he has since deleted these posts, and John Lewis has plenty of fans who promptly put Hunter in his place, with feisty comments about the importance of this man, who is a civil rights leader.
Related: To Spite John Lewis, Trump Cancels MLK Day Museum Trip.
Here's a couple of supporters telling Hunter a few truths.
"The comments you made about John Lewis are reprehensible," wrote one commenter. "How in the hell people in Gwinnett county could vote for a scumbag like you I don't know. You should immediately apologize to John Lewis."
"It is because of lacking basic, decent respect like you that we are now facing the oncoming sh*tstorm of Trump," another person wrote. "If you don't resign, you'll be driven from office at the next election. We do not need people in office who disrespect true heroes. You will pay for this.
He narrowly won reelection in 2016, and his racist comments certainly aren't going to help his cause. The areas he represents—"covers a wide and diverse swath of southern and eastern Gwinnett, including parts of Snellville, Loganville, Grayson and Dacula," the Journal-Constitution reports.
Undoubtedly, many of these voters will remember his insults.
Related: Trump Picked The Worst Time To Attack John Lewis
Gabe Okoye, Gwinnett County Democratic Party Chairman is calling for Hunter to resign.
"Hunter is a disgrace to Gwinnett County in particular, and Georgia in general," he told the newspaper, "and he should apologize for those comments."
Hunter was first elected to the Board of Commissioners in 2012.

<<It surpasses the SM model, in my humble opinion,in that it supplies
ombudsmen to help the little children>>
What makes you think that the little children in Sudbury schools have no
one to help them? There is absolutely no basis for that assumption. True, I
don't know of a Sudbury school that officially nominates, elects, or
appoints guardians for new and young students. But in part that's because
it's quite unnecessary. At Alpine Valley, at least, mutual support of all
students, not just the newer ones, is extremely widespread and runs very
<<Summerhill students run that school. When a child can say in a letter home
to his parents, "I've met this really nice chap here." (meaning A.S. Neil),
means that Neil didn't exercise his potential authority.>>
No, it means you have a non sequitur. The mere fact that this child
regarded Neil as a "nice chap" has next to no bearing on the degree to
which Summerhill students run their school.
<<Consensus has been used in place of J.C. and it seems to concentrate on
the human element more by putting more importance in relationships instead
of punishment.>>
I wonder what your experience is with JC. In mine, the emphasis is on a
group of one's peers drawing lines of personal responsibility when
individuals disagree. It is the community's voice defining what behaviors
are and aren't acceptable. Yet JC does not operate on the basis of fear,
trying to deter misbehavior through punishment. The culture at Alpine
Valley School very strongly favors constructive over punitive sentences;
ideally, all sentences have as a key component something intended to remind
or demonstrate to the individual why s/he was charged, and how to avoid
that situation in the future.
But more importantly than charging and sentencing, JC is about fairness and
respect, and how these values are (and, occasionally, are not) translated
into actions. The amount and sophistication of ethical reasoning that goes
on in JC is truly amazing, as is the emphasis on what it takes to function
in a human community. Indeed, in my experience, the "human element" and
"relationships" are a very central part of JC.

Last year I looked into going back to school. I went and took the tests, signed up for the classes and had everything in order to begin. However, at the end I ended up backing out… Why because I suffer from social phobia as well as PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder), and the school was pressuring me to attend class at the campus.
Having these conditions limit what I can and cannot do. With the conditions I have, I find it easier to interact with others online, rather than in person.
Colby Community College has a giveaway going on right now, for two moms to get an online Virtual Assistance Scholarship.
I feel this is the perfect opportunity for me to obtain a degree in something I love doing and that is helping others. It will allow me to show my daughter anything is possible no matter what conditions you may have, and it will allow me to show myself I can do it. I have a habit of talking down upon myself, even though I know deep down I can do anything I set my mind too… I often view the things I do as not good enough.
I often state I have no regrets in life, however, I have one regret and that is not getting a better education. I am hoping this regret can be no more, and I can get a better education, and I can provide better for my family in a virtual setting which I can handle better than in the "outside" world.
Being able to attend Colby Community College would be a blessing.
Do you also have the same regret about not pursuing your education? Well it's not to late, if you would like a shot at earning a VA degree make sure to enter the giveaway. Just go HERE for more details.
