Vegan Gluten-Free Iced Holiday Shortbread CookiesBlissful Basil
Jump to RecipePrint Recipe
These vegan gluten-free iced holiday shortbread cookies are the perfect addition to any festive gathering. A simple, 5-ingredient shortbread dough is rolled out, sliced (or punched out with cookie cutters), and baked until crisp and golden. The cookies are then slathered with vegan royal icing and topped with sprinkles. This is a great recipe to make with your little loved ones!
I've had this recipe on my to-test list for three years. THREE years!
I'm not sure what inspired me to finally take on the challenge and work out the kinks, but I'm so glad I did.
These simple shortbread cookies have quickly become a beloved holiday favorite in our home, and I hope they have the same effect in yours.
These vegan gluten-free iced holiday shortbread cookies are made with a simple shortbread base that requires just 5 ingredients (plus sea salt). No fancy mixer or techniques required, just a trusty bowl-n-spoon duo.
To make them, you'll whisk together oat flour, coconut flour, and sea salt. It's the combination of oat flour and coconut flour that gives these cookies the proper bite and texture, so please resist the urge to tinker (or do so at your own cookies' risk).
Once the dry mixture is ready, add a bit of melted coconut oil, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract to it. Then, give everything a good stir, and let the dough stand for 5 minutes to thicken. As the dough sits, the coconut flour will absorb more of the liquids, yielding a soft, spongy texture.
Next, form the dough into a log, wrap it, and chill it for 30 minutes.
When it comes to chilling the dough, you want to strive for a happy medium—it should be chilled enough to roll out smoothly (instead of ripping/tearing) but not so chilled that it crumbles when you roll it. If you happen to over-chill the dough, don't fret. Simply knead it between your hands for a few minutes to gently warm it to the right texture.
Once the dough is properly chilled, you have a decision to make.
You can:
1. Go the traditional holiday cookie route. Roll out the dough on a clean, floured work surface and use cookie cutters to punch out cookies. Then, repeat, repeat, repeat. This process takes a bit longer but results in cute, festive cookies. It's also a fun project to tackle with little ones.
2. Go the less traditional but speedier route. Simply slice the cookie dough log into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
Either way, transfer the punched out or sliced cookies to lined cookie sheets, and bake for just 12 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom with light golden edges.
While the cookies bake, you'll prepare the vegan royal icing. I don't make traditional icings and frostings all that often, so I left this one up to a vegan baking expert.
I made a half batch of this vegan royal icing recipe (i.e., 3 tablespoons—1.5 ounces—of aquafaba to 1 1/2 to 2 cups confectioners sugar), but you could certainly make a full batch and double the cookie recipe or freeze/refrigerate any leftover icing.
Just be sure to follow the instructions to thin the royal icing so that it can be used to "flood" sugar cookies, otherwise it will be too thick (like pictured below) and you won't get that smooth icing finish as pictured.
Once the cookies have cooled, frost them as desired.
I added some festive vegan sprinkles, but these cookies are just as delightful with a bare canvas of icing.
I hope you enjoy these vegan gluten-free iced holiday shortbread cookies! Cheers to a joyful, cookie-filled holiday season. ♥

Top 10 Vehicles Powered By Motorcycle Engines
Sometimes the best car engine comes from a bike
7. Volkswagen XL Sport
Volkswagen's limited-production XL1, with its diesel hybrid powertrain, might be great at producing ultimate mileage, but hypermileage doesn't normally equate to a thrilling driving experience. In an exercise to flex its engineering muscle, and to take advantage of its recent purchase of Ducati, VW debuted the XL Sport concept car at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. Instead of the diesel hybrid in the XL1, however, VW stuffed the 197 hp V-Twin from the 1199 Panigale Superleggera! VW claims the car weighs 1962 lbs, has a drag coefficient of 0.258, can hit 168 mph top speed and 0-62 mph in 5.7 seconds. VW also restyled the car to make it look less science experiment and more sportscar, updating it with paddle shifters, sport suspension and ceramic brakes along the way. It's too bad this is only a concept.

Pictured : A fountain
In our return leg in this Cup competition against The Fountain we were lucky enough to register another 8-1 win to progress to the next round. As on Sunday night the score line flatters us a bit, and The Fountain again missed several chances to win points. I was going to mention how many bounce-outs they had, but after I had two bounce-outs in just one throw I really think we all suffered in the same way. Walking back scoring just 20 with 75 points "on the floor" really makes you curse your luck.
Again, John S was the only Chelmsford player to drop a point, losing in a really close game which went right down to D1. He won't like me mentioning it. So can I just reiterate that John S ("Yorky", postal address to follow) lost our only points, both games running :o)
In my Singles game against their Captain I was falling behind with some awful LT40 shots, but I managed to score 400 points in three throws to bring myself back into the game, with the best shot being a 135. That gave me the impetus, and I finished reasonably well to grab the point.
We have a real affinity with this "all ladies" team, and they've even offered to come down and support us in the next round. Great ;o)

Questions / Wonderings / Observations
Do I understand correctly? This new incarnation of the Vivaldi Community is constructed / based on Wordpress behind the scenes, under the hood?
Okay, I have installed a Test Header. https://suntana.vivaldi.net/
Now ... I'm not liking that my Blog's title ALSO appears above the Header. I also don't like the Sub title below that. And I am not seeing a way to deselect / deactivate those two. IS there a way to make them disappear. I want the ability to have the HEADER take the place of both of those.
I mean, yeah, have the option there for those who might like the current setup. I just happen to not prefer the current setup.
Is it my imagination or is it hidden in plain sight ... or is there currently NO capability for installing a Background image?
- Is there now or will there be in the near future the capability to add Images and Emoticons in comments? I'm not seeing that right now.
Okay okay, after peeking and poking around some more, I HAVE already found the answer to my 1st question. I do see now that Wordpress IS indeed being used as the blogging platform.
I finally managed to figure out how to install Background images by changing to different themes. However, unfortunately the results were horrible. The text was unreadable. Apparently the Background image capability on this current version of this new platform is not exactly recommended.
For example, on my current Blogger Blog, I have a transparent theme whereby while you can see the Background image, there is by the same token a transparent dark backdrop in front of the Background image so that the text on the page has contrast and is definitely readable.
I didn't immediately see how to accomplish that same LOOK here on this new Vivaldi platform.
I don't know. I'll experiment some more. But, the initial results are pointing to that I won't be able to achieve the LOOK that I had hoped.

I think you have free hand in customizing your blog, you aren't dependent on themes. I'd like to check this and give advice, but sadly my blog is down and marked as spam
Well, for example luetage, let's say that for comparison purposes, we put the CSS customizing route aside for now. On Blogger, with the available theme templates in conjunction with the various things / attributes that were are allowed to modify, we have a much more potent arsenal of customization tools at our disposal to put together a LOOK much more to our liking.
With the current Wordpress-based Vivaldi new platform, we currently have a VERY limited theme / template selection from which to choose. (5 is it?) Not only that, but the things / attributes that we are allowed to change within those themes are also VERY limited.
For example, here is my current Blogger Blog: https://suntana511.blogspot.com/
(No CSS code is involved.)
(Moderator feel free to remove the link if my Blog is outside the Vivaldi guidelines.)
With the current tools available (to the best of my knowledge) on this new Vivaldi blogging platform, I'm not seeing the ability to remotely approach putting together something very similar to that LOOK here on Vivaldi.

We live in a natural world of immense size and beauty. We marvel at its contents (from the microscopic to the cosmic), enjoy its many patterns (whether in snowflakes or in the rings of Saturn) and occasionally delve into its intricate processes.
The products of past natural events lie scattered about, awaiting discovery, analysis and appreciation. We are drawn to wonder what lies beyond our vision and our understanding.
Why is the nature of Nature so attractive? A musical score, a piece of literature or a magnificent painting all reflect something of the minds that fashioned them. Can the same be said of the Mind that fashioned all things, from atoms, babies and raindrops, to oceans, mountains and spiralling galaxies?

To be fair, the sting is real and still very raw. But, it certainly appears that Democrats are failing to recognize (or acknowledge) some key lessons from this election.
As one Twitter user put it:
This appears to be a teachable lesson that, at least for the moment, is lost on many liberals.
As I have said before, the ethical and intelligent way to combat bad ideas is with good ones. Combating bad ideas (or, at least ones you disagree with) with bullying, coercive censorship, and violence may win you a short-term victory, but it is also a surefire way to increase your opposition's numbers long-term.

"Be aware that we live in a very competitive environment whereby youth is king and people are looking for less-invasive procedures, and these procedures are now for the first time being directly marketed by the manufacturer in consumer magazines," points out session moderator Franklin L. DiSpaltro, MD, a plastic surgeon in West Orange, N.J., and a past president of ASAPS.
What was once a friendly and organised gym has turned into a miserable experience since pure gym too...k over from soho gym in Lewisham. They released nearly all the instructors, some of whom had been working there for 20+ years and had built up a loyal clientele. No notice, no suitable replacements and now most classes are taken by PTs who have had little or no training. It's a joke and dangerous to train with instructors who do not appear to be qualified to teach group classes. The entire atmosphere has changed and loyal gym members have left in their droves. The low prices are not an incentive to stay. I'd rather pay more and have the excellent Les Mills classes taught by proper Les Mills instuctors thanks... just as they were before. See More

Activ8 Trampolining: Vital Equipment Replacement
(West Midlands)
Activ8 Trampolining are a local club who pride themselves on their inclusive nature for the whole community, meaning fees are very low to ensure accessible participation in a deprived area. One of our trampolines is over 15 years old, and due to safety will shortly no longer be useable. Without replacement 60 spaces per week will have to be lost!
Our goals:
- Protect 60 spaces per week currently at risk due to old equipment. Due to safety our oldest trampoline (15 yrs old) will soon be unusable, meaning the people currently using it would lose their space. As such a new trampoline will be purchased.
- Support our national and international competitors. By purchasing a competition standard trampoline they will no longer be disadvantaged by training on old equipment. Our current squad trampoline would be used to replace our oldest trampoline.
- Continue to offer top level coaching to all our members at a very low cost. Without funding our membership costs would have to increase as we could not afford the replacement equipment, making our club less accessible to the more deprived members.
How we will achieve our goals
As club fees remain inclusively low, we only just cover our running costs. As such saving for expensive replacement equipment is hard. If we were to receive funding it would enable purchase of vital new equipment, preventing the loss of 60 spaces per week, while also supporting our national and international performers to achieve their potential.
Where the money will go
Our club encourages all ages and abilities to participate including disability participants, with 5 competing nationally. We have 300+ members, several competing national and international. Funding will prevent the loss of 60 spaces per week due to broken equipment, as well as providing the best opportunity for our high level performers to succeed.

Diggers at Gallipoli did not just face death or injury through battle but had their fitness sapped by an epidemic of gastro ailments caused by swarming flies.
"At its most virulent, diarrhoeal disease claimed as many men through sickness each fortnight as would be placed out of action in a general assault," says an article in the Anzac Day issue of the Medical Journal of Australia (MJA).
Failed public health measures led to the spread of the communicable diseases (CDs), said Dr Milton Lewis of the University of Sydney and the MJA's editor-in-chief, Professor Stephen Leeder.
They reviewed accounts of the summer of 1915, which showed CDs, particularly gastrointestinal ailments, took an enormous toll on the Australian and New Zealand troops.
"Flies swarmed from May until October. Latrines were built, rubbish burnt and bodies buried, but incompletely so and disease continued to spread, especially as the troops' nutritional status began to wane," they wrote.
"Those who were sick could not be easily evacuated and the troops themselves scorned this approach because of the administrative difficulty in returning to the front when well."
Dental problems - due partly to the effects of army biscuits, lice infestations and a limited diet - added to the challenges of the Anzac fighting men.
"Battle fatigue, illness and the risk of death these were the realities daily confronting the Anzacs," they said.
"We need to be clear in our understanding of the variety and depth of challenges faced by those troops 100 years ago."

Tuition and Fees
The following topics are covered below:
Tuition is $7,500/year. Students may make monthly payments of $625/month, 2012. Students who choose to make semi-annual payments will receive a semi-annual discount of $200, so that the semi-annual payment will be $3,550. Students who make an annual payment will receive a $600 discount for the year, so that the annual payment will be $6,900. Student tuition will NOT be increased for the fiscal year July 2018-June 2019, despite increased costs, and even though this will be the seventh consecutive year that tuition has been steady at $7,500/year.
Students are not responsible for paying tuition for any portion of a year in which they are not enrolled, whether it is due to graduation or withdrawal. Students may enroll on the first day of any month of the year. They may withdraw on any date, by giving written notice to WISR's President of their decision to withdraw. (See specific refund and withdrawal policies, below). Students graduate on the last day of the month in which they complete all requirements and are approved for graduation by their Graduation Review Board.
Total Program Costs:
Since the completion date for all academic programs, at WISR and elsewhere, cannot be precisely determined in advance, the total length of time, and cost, of a degree program at WISR cannot be projected in advance. The length of time to complete a program is influenced by each student's life circumstances and the intensity with which they choose to pursue their studies. The Frequently Asked Questions section of our catalogue and this website discusses the approximate lengths of time that many students have taken to complete each program in previous years. If for an extended period of time (6 months or longer) a student anticipates that she or he will not be able to actively pursue her or his studies at WISR, the student is advised to consider withdrawing for that period and then re-enrolling.
However, the State requires that we provide an scheduled timetable for completing each degree program—for the purposes of reporting data to the State in the annual reports, for providing information to prospective students in the School Performance Fact Sheet, and for providing one scheduled timetable in this catalog, on our website, and in our enrollment agreements with each student. In arriving at the scheduled timetables for each degree program, we have assumed that many students may choose to move at the equivalent of a part-time pace, if they have especially busy and demanding work and family commitments.
We have decided to use 6 years as the scheduled timetable for completing the doctoral degree, the extensive Master's program leading to the MFT and/or LPCC licenses, and for the BS program. And, we have used 4 years as the scheduled timetable for completing the other (non-MFT) Master's program in Education and Community Leadership.
Our actual experience is that some students choose to take even longer than these schedules due to work and family responsibilities, for example. Many students complete these programs in much shorter periods of time. These timetables also don't take into account how the transferring of previous academic credit, especially in the BS program, may substantially reduce the time necessary to complete a degree at WISR.
Using these schedules, and using our current annual tuition of $7,500/year and a $600 enrollment fee, Total Costs for the EdD, MS program leading toward MFT and/or LPCC licenses, and BS programs is $45,600. The Total Cost for the MS program NOT leading toward State counseling licensure is $30,600.
Students should be prepared for the following added expenses:
- A required monthly fee ($9/month) to access books and readings through ScribD (www.scribd.com)
- A required annual membership in a professional association (approximate cost of $150 per year or less, typically) such as the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (required of all WISR MFT program students), the American Sociological Association, or the American Educational Research Association
- Roughly $60 or less per course for required books and ebooks
- For doctoral students $250 to pay WISR to contract with an outside expert in the area of their dissertation inquiry, to help guide them and serve on their Dissertation Review Committee, and for Master's students, $150 to pay WISR to contract with an outside expert in the area of their thesis inquiry to help guide them and serve of their Thesis Review Committee.
- Although there is no cost involved, California residents who constitute the vast majority of WISR students, should plan on making a trip to either the San Francisco or Los Angeles Public Library, to obtain a public library card to provide added access to relevant journals, books and videos. Students outside California are encouraged to identify with the help of WISR faculty additional library access for themselves. WISR's pays an annual fee to the Library Information and Resources Network (LIRN) to provide access to valuable library resources, and WISR's Librarian and Learning Technology and Design staff person provide information and guidance to WISR students on how to locate relevant Open Access Library resources, which are increasing greatly in number every day.
WISR's Board of Trustees has decided that modest tuition increases of about $25/month probably will be necessary every year or two. WISR's faculty and Board devote considerable energy and thought to keeping WISR's tuition as affordable as possible, while still maintaining an extraordinary high level of quality of education. The vast majority of each student's tuition goes toward instructional costs, with minimal amounts being spent on administrative and institutional overhead costs. Whenever a tuition increase is necessary, the Board will announce about May 1 of each year the tuition rate for the coming fiscal year (July-June).
Upon enrollment, or re-enrollment in the case of students who have taken a break from their studies at WISR, a $600 enrollment fee, $250 of which is non-refundable, is due, and the rest of which is pro-rated as per refund policies noted in this section.
Students should expect to spend about $50 to $100 on books (or e-books) for each course. In addition, all students are required to
1) purchase and maintain a monthly membership in ScribD (access to many required readings—books and articles, for $9/month. www.scribd.com),
2) purchase a membership in a major professional association such as the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (www.camft.org), American Educational Research Association, or American Sociological Association. (These fees are typically less than $150/year.) Depending on the student's interests, faculty may approve a membership in another association, instead. All MFTs students must obtain a membership in CAMFT, because, among other things, this provides access to psychology journals through the EBSCO library online data base.
3) if a California resident, the student must obtain a free library card (but requires a visit on site) to either the San Francisco or Los Angeles Public Library. This card entitled the holder to access to important added online library data bases (off site, need not be at the library), as well as, to thousands of films and videos available through Kanopy (www.kanopy.com), and some of these films are required viewing for many WISR courses. WISR will provide other access to limited number of Kanopy films, but at least to those that are required, to students who are not California residents, if the student is not able to obtain access through another library.
Students may choose to pay their tuition by using their Visa, Master, and Discover Card credit cards. Those wishing to make a credit card payment should contact WISR's President, either over the phone or on site at WISR. Students may also pay tuition to WISR through paypal by entering WISR's e-mail address for the merchant account: email@example.com Also, students in other countries often make payments to WISR by direct wire transfers to WISR's bank.
Unfortunately, WISR students do not have access to scholarships, nor to Federal grant and loan programs. Because WISR is very small by design, and is not accredited, our students are not eligible for Federal and bank-funded student loans. Furthermore, lending institutions are not required by law to defer student loan repayments that WISR students may have acquired elsewhere prior to enrolling at WISR. In some cases, WISR students have successfully negotiated this with lenders, but because WISR students are not eligible for student loan monies, the lenders are not obliged to defer the student's payments.
Fortunately, our tuition is much more affordable than the tuition at most other institutions, and students may make monthly payments throughout their enrollment at WISR.
VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF WORK-STUDY POSITIONS: In addition, there may be one or two institutional work-study positions sometimes available. Occasionally, WISR has some needed work that can be performed by a few qualified students at a rate of 6 hours work for $100. At this point, work-study earnings are limited to a maximum of $500/year.
A student registers at WISR by signing an WISR ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT (Tuition Contract) and paying the necessary tuition and fees, and discussing initial study plans with a faculty adviser. The ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT outlines the obligations and commitments of WISR and of the student. When first enrolling, a student must pay at least the first month's tuition, or $625 in addition to the $600 enrollment fee.
The tuition rate on the student's initial WISR ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT stays in force, unless the student wishes to change his or her payment plan (e.g., from monthly to semi-annual, or from annual to semi-annual), or until the Board announces in writing a tuition increase (see above), and the student enters into a new agreement based on that change. Students also receive information about the State's Student Tuition Recovery Fund.
Students never pay for tuition for any period of time covered in their enrollment agreement, if they withdraw or graduate before the end of the period specified in that enrollment agreement. (See refund policies below). If a student withdraws from enrollment during a period for which tuition has been paid, s/he will receive a refund according to the refund policies stated below.
Students may take a Leave of Absence for a minimum of six (6) months, at any time, with notice by the end of the month prior to the Leave. Students may not take a leave for a just a couple of months; it is expected that most students will take vacations, get ill, and have special family and job demands and crises that may make it difficult or even impossible for them to attend to their WISR studies for several months out of the year. WISR operates on a 12 month calendar so that students can be heavily involved in their studies for as little as 8 or so months out of the year, or for all 12 months of the year. However, if a student believes that he or she will not be able to get much done in the coming 6 months, for any reason, personal, financial, job, health or other reasons, then it is best to take a break for 6 months or longer, until the student has the time, energy and/or funds to be engaged in her or his studies more than a little bit. During a leave a student may attend seminars (but not for credit or to meet WISR requirements) to stay somewhat connected to WISR, but may not meet with her or his faculty adviser or receive credit for work performed during the leave period. Work performed during a leave is considered the same as prior experience, and is not eligible for credit as such. When the student is ready to re-enroll–at any time after the six month minimum period–he or she may re-enroll by paying the $600 re-enrollment fee (naturally, the student is not charged tuition during the period of their Leave). However, if the student owes back tuition, they will not be allowed to re-enroll unless they first negotiate with a Board representative an acceptable and realistic re-payment plan on top of the regular tuition that they will be paying once re-enrolled.
A student may withdraw at any time. Notice of cancellation of an Enrollment Agreement must be in writing to WISR's President, and a withdrawal may be effectuated by the student's conduct, including, but not necessarily limited to, a student's lack of attendance. The student will receive a refund of any tuition already paid according to the following guidelines. If a student withdraws after instruction begins, but before the end of the first month of enrollment or re-enrollment (that is, after the cancellation period described above), they are entitled to a full refund of all charges, less $250 and a portion of the $625 first month's tuition prorated on a daily basis. If a student withdraws during the first 60 % (percent) of an enrollment period as specified in their enrollment agreement, the student will receive a pro-rata refund on a daily basis of any tuition already paid beyond the date of withdrawal, minus $250 of the $600 enrollment fee. If the student withdraws after 60% (percent) of the enrollment agreement period, the student will receive a pro-rata refund on a daily basis, minus the $600 enrollment fee. That is, their tuition refund will be computed by calculating all monies for which they have paid tuition for an enrollment period, then charging them the daily rate for the period enrolled, and refunding them the balance of the tuition monies paid for that enrollment period. That is, in no case will the student be responsible to pay tuition for days for which they have contracted in the Enrollment Agreement, when they have chosen to withdraw before the end of that period and when they will not then be enrolled for some of those contracted months. WISR will also refund money collected for a student's tuition from a third party on the student's behalf. Refunds will be paid within 30 days of cancellation or withdrawal. A student who withdraws and wishes to later re-enroll is subject to the policies on Leaves of Absence (see above).
Students making monthly payments have until the end of the month to make their payment for that month without the payment being late. The first month in a fiscal year that a student is late in making their tuition payment, they will be assessed a late fee of $25/month. However, in any additional month(s) in that fiscal year in which a student is late or behind in their tuition payment(s), they will be charged a $50/month late fee.
Because WISR makes every effort to keep its tuition affordable by charging a little as possible, and since students are allowed to improve their cash flow by making monthly payments, it is absolutely crucial that students make timely payments of their tuition (by the last day of the month in which the tuition is due). Students who fall two or more months behind in their tuition payments are subject to disenrollment for a minimum of 6 (six) months, and will not get credit for work done during that period, and will be charged the $600 re-enrollment fee upon return to enrollment at WISR, assuming they also have taken care of their owed tuition and late fees, either by paying in full, or by paying a portion and successfully negotiating with the Board financial representative a payment plan that they will adhere to.
The student has a right to cancel their enrollment agreement and obtain a refund. Such cancellation must be in writing to the President at WISR, 2930 Shattuck Ave., Suite 300, Berkeley, CA 94705. The student has the right to cancel the enrollment agreement and obtain a refund of charges paid through attendance at the first class session, or the seventh day after enrollment, whichever is later. If a student withdraws after instruction begins, but before the end of the first month of enrollment or re-enrollment (that is, after the cancellation period described above), they will be refunded all except $250 of the $600 enrollment fee, and a portion of the $625 first month's tuition prorated on a daily basis. Notice of cancellation of an Enrollment Agreement must be in writing to WISR's President, and a withdrawal may also be effectuated by the student's conduct, including, but not necessarily limited to, a student's lack of attendance.
"The State of California established the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying institution, who is or was a California resident while enrolled, or was enrolled in a residency program, if the student enrolled in the institution, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss.
Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must pay the state-imposed assessment for the STRF, or it must be paid on your behalf, if you are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition.
You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment, if either of the following applies: you are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program.
It is important that you keep copies of your enrollment agreement, financial aid documents, receipts, or any other information that documents the amount paid to the school. Questions regarding the STRF may be directed to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, 2535 Capitol Oaks Drive, Suite 400, Sacramento, CA 95833, (916) 431-6959 or (888) 370-7589.
To be eligible for STRF, you must be a California resident or enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, paid or deemed to have paid the STRF assessment, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following:
- The institution, a location of the institution, or an educational program offered by the institution was closed or discontinued, and you did not choose to participate in a teach-out plan approved by the Bureau or did not complete a chosen teach-out plan approved by the Bureau.
- You were enrolled at an institution or a location of the institution within the 120 day period before the closure of the institution or location of the institution, or were enrolled in an educational program within the 120 day period before the program was discontinued.
- You were enrolled at an institution or a location of the institution more than 120 days before the closure of the institution or location of the institution, in an educational program offered by the institution as to which the Bureau determined there was a significant decline in the quality or value of the program more than 120 days before closure.
- The institution has been ordered to pay a refund by the Bureau but has failed to do so.
- The institution has failed to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a federal student loan program as required by law, or has failed to pay or reimburse proceeds received by the institution in excess of tuition and other costs.
- You have been awarded restitution, a refund, or other monetary award by an arbitrator or court, based on a violation of this chapter by an institution or representative of an institution, but have been unable to collect the award from the institution.
- You sought legal counsel that resulted in the cancellation of one or more of your student loans and have an invoice for services rendered and evidence of the cancellation of the student loan or loans.
To qualify for STRF reimbursement, the application must be received within four (4) years from the date of the action or event that made the student eligible for recovery from STRF.
A student whose loan is revived by a loan holder or debt collector after a period of noncollection may, at any time, file a written application for recovery from STRF for the debt that would have otherwise been eligible for recovery. If it has been more than four (4) years since the action or event that made the student eligible, the student must have filed a written application for recovery within the original four (4) year period, unless the period has been extended by another act of law.
However, no claim can be paid to any student without a social security number or a taxpayer identification number.
Note: Authority cited: Sections 94803, 94877 and 94923, Education Code. Reference: Section
94923, 94924 and 94925, Education Code."

Indeed, WISR takes the position that consumer protection and student rights are important to a healthy postsecondary education system in California. WISR has an impeccable history of perfect compliance with state law since we were first approved* in 1977 [*Under current State law, Approved" means, "approval to operate" which means compliance with state standards as set forth in the California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009 (California Education Code, Title 3, Division 10, Part 59, Chapter )], and there have been no complaints against us in that entire time. Furthermore, in order to promote consumer protection, high quality education, and institutional integrity and credibility among institutions of private postsecondary education, WISR has taken a leadership role with about a dozen other institutions to form the Association for Private Postsecondary Education in California (APPEC).
Please consult our web page (or online catalogue section) on "Non-Degree Learning" to find about tuition charges for students seeking to receive credit for only one or two independent study courses, for a single workshop, or for non-credit instruction.
Quite appropriately, the State of California requires that WISR, and all unaccredited, State licensed schools, colleges and universities, disclose to prospective students possible limitations students may subsequently encounter in using their State licensed, but unaccredited degrees. We have discussed the uses and limitations of WISR degrees at great length in these other sections of our website and online catalogue, in particular, please consult the section, "Learning About WISR."
We repeat some of the highlights of the points mentioned elsewhere in this section on "Tuition and Fees" because it is important for prospective students to be aware of the most important limitations they may encounter in using a WISR degree.
In compliance with Assembly Bill 2296, Chapter 585, Statutes of 2012, effective January 1, 2013, WISR discloses the following:
- WISR offers unaccredited BS, MS and Doctoral degrees—that is, WISR is not accredited by an agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (USDE).
- WISR's degree programs are approved by the State Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education [ "Approved" means, "approval to operate" which means compliance with state standards as set forth in the California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009 (California Education Code, Title 3, Division 10, Part 59, Chapter )]. More information may be obtained from the Bureau's website: www.bppe.ca.gov
- Graduates of WISR's MS in Psychology program that is designed to meet the State's academic requirements for the MFT and LPCC licenses, respectively, are eligible to sit for those licensure exams in California after meeting the other requirements (most notably, sufficient hours of supervised internship). WISR makes no claims that students may sit for licensing exams in other states. Students and prospective students interested in licensing in other states should contact those states for definitive information. Oftentimes, the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) will be able to help its student members of that association learn how to obtain information from other states.
- Students and prospective students should know that a degree program that is unaccredited or from an unaccredited institution is not recognized for some employment positions, including, but not limited to, positions with the State of California.
- Students enrolled in unaccredited institutions are not eligible for federal financial aid programs.
- Further information regarding required disclaimers is below . . .
Generally speaking, it is wise not to expect to transfer credit at the graduate level (MS or Doctoral) between two institutions, because most graduate programs want students to all of their graduate degree program work at that institution. Transferring credit at the BS level is not so difficult between accredited institutions, but since WISR is State licensed and unaccredited, those considering WISR's BS program should NOT plan to transfer ANY of their undergraduate credit to an accredited institution, nor use their BS degree itself (for admissions to a graduate program in an accredited institution). Specifically:
The transferability of credits you earn at WISR is at the complete discretion of an institution to which you may seek to transfer. Acceptance of the BS or MS you earn at WISR is also at the complete discretion of the institution to which you may seek to transfer. If the credits or degree that you earn at this institution are not accepted at the institution to which you seek to transfer, you may be required to repeat some or all of your coursework at that institution. For this reason you should make certain that your attendance at this institution will meet your educational goals. This may include contacting an institution to which you may seek to transfer after attending WISR to determine if your credits or degree will transfer.
The transferability of credits you earn at the Western Institute for Social Research (WISR) is at the complete discretion of an institution to which you may seek to transfer. Acceptance of the degree or academic credits you earn in the Western Institute for Social Research (WISR) is also at the complete discretion of the institution to which you may seek to transfer. If the credits or degee that you earn at this institution are not accepted at the institution to which you seek to transfer, you may be required to repeat some or all of your coursework at that institution. For this reason you should make certain that your attendance at this institution will meet your educational goals. This may include contacting an institution to which you may seek to transfer after attending WISR to determine if your credits or degree will transfer.
Only one of WISR's degree programs is specifically designed to lead to employment in a specific career—the MS in Psychology that meets the State's academic requirements for the Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) license, and more recently the LPCC license, as well, is designed to help students move toward eventual licensing and careers and employment as licensed MFTs (and for some as LPCCs as well). The significant and typical successes of our MFT program alumni in accomplishing these particular employment and licensing goals is described in our "School Performance Fact Sheet for the MFT Program" which is on our website and available as a hard copy, upon request.
Although the success of WISR alumni in professional advancement and employment is very impressive and well documented, the success of any one student in using their degree from WISR to obtain a particular job definitely CANNOT BE GUARANTEED OR EVEN EXPECTED. Although WISR has been State Approved* since 1977 [ *Under current California law, Approved" means, "approval to operate" which means compliance with state standards as set forth in the California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009 (California Education Code, Title 3, Division 10, Part 59, Chapter )], it is not regionally or nationally accredited, and indeed, very tiny institutions such as WISR are seldom, if ever, even evaluated by the regional accrediting agency, and the relevant national agencies do not evaluate institutions offering PhD programs. IT IS IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT WISR'S DEGREES ARE UNACCREDITED, AND THEREFORE, WISR STUDENTS AND ALUMNI MAY SOMETIMES BE ELIMINATED FROM CONSIDERATION FOR SOME JOBS, AS WELL AS FOR LICENSURE AND CERTIFICATION IN MOST FIELDS IN OTHER STATES.
The actual experience of WISR students is that they are mostly satisfactorily employed in jobs and careers that they have desired, oftentimes with much greater success than they even hoped for prior to enrolling at WISR. Nevertheless, there are fairly common instances where students and alumni have found that they are eliminated from consideration for some jobs and promotions in public agencies (Federal, State, County, City) when for reasons of legality or bureaucratic convenience, the public agency stipulates that an accredited degree is required for a particular position. Seldom, if ever, have our alumni or students encountered difficulties, because of WISR's unaccredited status, in obtaining jobs in non-profit and community-based agencies. Similarly, WISR students and alumni have in many cases been successful in obtaining foundation grants, being hired as consultants, and writing books and articles for publication. Although WISR alumni have sometimes been hired for faculty-time faculty positions in large, accredited institutions (e.g., San Francisco State, University of California, Morris Brown University), and many have obtained part-time positions in such institutions, it is well documented that many college and university hiring committees will not consider applicants holding unaccredited degrees.
3. WISR'S FINANCIAL INTEGRITY: WISR has never had a pending petition in bankruptcy, is not operating as a debtor in possession, has never filed a petition for bankruptcy, and has never had a petition in bankruptcy filed against it that resulted in reorganization under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code.
4. ACCESS TO WISR'S ANNUAL REPORTS TO THE STATE: The State of California's Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) is making the annual reports of all State approved* institutions, including WISR, [*Under current State law, Approved" means, "approval to operate" which means compliance with state standards as set forth in the California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009 (California Education Code, Title 3, Division 10, Part 59, Chapter )] available on the State's website at: https://www.dca.ca.gov/webapps/bppe/annual_report.php .

This is Brachial Plexus Awareness week 2017. Brachial Plexus Palsy, or Erb's Palsy, is a severe nerve injury which occurs when the doctor yanks or pulls too hard on a baby's head during birth. The condition is rare, with approximately two instances for every thousand successful births, and is completely preventable with the correct procedures during delivery.
Depending on the extent of the injury, Erb's Palsy patients may have some use of their arm and hand, or none at all. In cases where only the nerves of the upper brachial plexus are affected, the baby will have a greater chance of being able to use their arm after birth, but if the injury was severe enough to affect all five levels, it is extremely unlikely that the patient will have full use of their arm.
Doctors can prevent Erb's Palsy through a number of maneuvers to deliver the baby's shoulder without lasting damage being done. For example, if one shoulder is stuck, the doctor can rotate it out of the way to avoid a permanent nerve injury. Erb's Palsy occurs when a doctor pulls the baby's head during delivery or uses brute force to push from above to force the delivery.
Doctors across the country have been working to eliminate Erb's Palsy by adopting long term training courses to help reduce rates of birth injuries. At Weill Cornell Medical Center, the rates of certain birth injuries fell to just two percent of the national average rate after they instituted increased safety training. Statistics like that show the importance of proper training and show that these conditions truly are preventable.
If you or a loved one has been injured by medical malpractice, we will listen to you, explain your options, and help you decide what action to take. The consultation is free, whether you call toll free at 1-888-MEDLAW1 (633-5291) or fill out a contact form to submit via E-mail.

Walking up to the Shirah Street Beach Access, there's a little outpost to the right that could be mistaken for some sort of quaint birdhouse.
But upon closer inspection, the horizontal wood-rimmed door to the house has "borrow a book" burned into the wood and "mini library" scorched onto the bottom of the frame.
A row of paperbacks and hardbacks from the likes of Dean Koontz, Patricia Cornwell and Michael Palmer are stacked neatly within the hut.
These mini libraries were made for beachgoers who are in need of a good book to read while relaxing on the beach. The idea to install mini libraries throughout Destin was dreamed up by Fort Walton High School senior Carson Miller.
Miller planned out and built the mini libraries for his Eagle Scout project with guidance from his father, Johnny.
"I didn't want to build a generic bench," Miller said. "My dad and I were driving around and saw a mini library and we thought it was a great idea to put some by the different beach accesses."
He used recyclable materials to make six mini libraries and went through the city to get the approval needed to place the libraries by the beach accesses.
"My parents sent out a note on social media about my Eagle Scout project to ask people for book donations," said Miller. "Boy, we got a ton of books."
Miller said the project was a lot of work and was more complicated than just building the mini libraries.
"It taught me a lot about hard work and what you can accomplish with it," he said.
It took about two weeks to build all six of the libraries.
Beachgoers can find the mini libraries installed at five beach accesses along Scenic Highway 98 including Barracuda Street, Pompano Street, Tarpon Street, The Shores at Crystal Beach, and Shirah Street. The sixth mini library is located at O'Steen Public Beach Access on Holiday Isle.
Next year, Miller will be attending Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. He plans to major in materials engineering.
"Basically it's like finding materials that make things better, like composite materials to make objects cheaper and stronger."
Miller finished fourth in his graduating class and continues to work toward becoming an Eagle Scout with Troop 599.

Welcome back for more Hypno!
I found Z fold cards on Pinterest and thought they would be great with the Hypno papers. They are super easy to make and allow good use of those two part sentiment stamps.
Club Scrap papers, stamps, buttons. Twine and feathers.
1. Score an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper horizontally at 2.75 and 5.5.
2. Trim paper vertically at 7.25 and 5.5.
3. Fold the 5.5 x 11 and 1.25 x 11 pieces in a Z pattern.
4. Trim pattern papers to fit panels. I used a 2.5 x 5.25 panel and a 5.25 x 5.25, leaving the middle fold empty.
5. Stamp and embellish 1.25 strip. There will be a 1.75" strip left over. I used those for mistakes.
Closed card: 5.5 x 5.5 which will require additional postage.
Club Scrap papers and stamp. Tim Holtz numbers. Denim.
Club Scrap papers, stamps and jewels. Sizzix die. Recollections flowers.

ecently my most prominent obsession has been pink. It's completely unexplainable and baffling, however blushing pink has turned my previous hate for pink into complete adoration, and while not all pinks suit my skin tone, blushing pink is perfect for my warm toned olive skin.
Several designers used blush pink in their collections this '14 season. The most notable of these were: Nina Ricci, Burberry Prorsum, Céline, Bottega Veneta, Prada, Miu Miu, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Louis Vuitton, and Jil Sander.
The most popular way to showcase blush pink was through a coat. This look might be the most consumer-friendly way to participate in the blush pink trends. A shirtdress is another option: in a solid, with polka dot hearts (Burberry Prorsum), or gingham (Prada). Lastly, accessories are the most understated way to take part – a purse or heel can still add a touch of the booming trend to your wardrobe.

About Us
Bundesdruckerei, DATEV, SGH, Neopost Deutschland, Asterion, BeCloud and b4value.net have joined together with a common technology base to become an unprecedented business network for the exchange of business documents. Thus, eliminating significant initial hurdles for companies for the electronic exchange of data and documents.
Since 2004 the German Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), headquartered in Kaiserslautern, has supported the development of a technology that allows for business documents to be exchanged between the sender and receiver independent of their respective system environment. A redundant network architecture provides the necessary process security and scalability, where each node represents an independent provider. Each provider is based on the same technological platform. A member may now send documents in individual formats to a different member via their provider- independent of the node the respective sender or receiver is connected to.
What sounds like a complex pilot project at first, has long become common practice and doesn´t require neither investments nor changes to the existing processes on the member side. Therefore, millions of documents are already been send monthly between many hundreds of thousands of companies in this manner, and it´s a growing trend.
The coalition of providers by means of a common technology base is unique and offers economic independence of each provider and significant size and security through cutting-edge technology. This differs fundamentally from all business models and options of its competitors. As a coalition, each node profits from the developments and opportunities of the others. Furthermore, the volumes generated are reflected in attractive conditions for each member – even with conventional dispatch via letter post. This network is revolutionizing the market!

I Told You So
Interviews With Jon WienereBook - 2013
'I exist to say, No, that isn't the way it is,' or What you believe to be true is not true for the following reasons.' I am a master of the obvious. I mean, if there's a hole in the road, I will, viciously, outrageously, say there's a hole in the road and if you don't fill it in you'll break the axle of your car. One is not loved for being helpful. 'Gore Vidal, one of America's foremost essayists, screenwriters, and novelists, died July 31, 2012. He was, in addition, a terrific conversationalist. Dick Cavett once described him as 'the best talker since Oscar Wilde.' And Vidal was never more eloquent, or caustic, than when let loose on his favorite topic, the history and politics of the United States. This book is made up from four interviews conducted with his long-time interlocutor, the writer and radio host Jon Wiener, in which Vidal grapples with matters evidently close to his heart: the history of the American Empire, the rise of the National Security State, and his own life in politics, both as a commentator and candidate. The interviews cover a twenty-year span, from 1988 to 2008, when Vidal was at the height of his powers. His extraordinary facility for developing an argument, tracing connections between past and present, and drawing on an encyclopedic knowledge of America's place in the world, are all on full display. And, of course, it being Gore Vidal, an ample sprinkling of gloriously acerbic one-liners is also provided.

If you've ever watched an infant or toddler attempt to drink out of an ordinary sippy cup, you will probably have witnessed their frustration at not being able to find the mouth piece, or get any liquid out (because said mouth piece is around the wrong way)
There is a fine line between a cute little confused look, and a full blow toddler tantrum… and Hank has crossed that line many times due to him not being able to work out why he can't get any water from his cup (and yes, I have taken photos of these tantrums to document as part of a 'why my toddler is crying' collection…mean Mummy!)
Enter the WOW Cup. It's a 'sippy' cup with a 360 degree drinking edge. The innovative edge opens when you suck on it (yes, I've tried) and closes again after drinking, which means... NO SPILLS, halleluiah!
|266ml WOW Cup from Howards Storage World
Hank loves this WOW cup because he thinks he is drinking out of a cup like Daddy, and Mummy loves it because I don't have to worry about any spills or an impending 'Why-Can't-I-Get-Any-Water tantrum'
The WOW Cup is available from Howards Storage World and is $14.95
Has your toddler tried the WOW Cup?

I'm 43 still have all my parts and I am in full blown menopause
Kim - posted on 05/28/2009
No, you are not too young for pre-menopause. Can begin in your 30's. I am 41 and going thru night sweats, etc. Seems to happen on and off. My mom began at 41. I believe I began about 38. Menopause is when you are thru it all and your cycle stops. My periods are usually on time, but I have started a week late a couple of times.I watched information about it on the Oprah Show and The Doctors. Most of the world seems to think you have to be in your 50's and older. Not true at all.
[deleted account]
Peri-menopause can start as early as mid to late 30's. My mother in law was done with menopause by the time she was 48. My best friend is 43 and going through it now. So no...you're not too young but you should talk to your doctor. The only way my best friend found out was because she had her appendix taken out. When they ran her blood work they checked her hormone levels because some of the symptoms she was having had nothing to do with her appendix. She is in the begining stages...night sweats, vivid dreams, MOODY AS HELL (LOL), the only thing that hasn't changed is that her periods are still normal. Heavy, but on time.

Well if early menopause runs in your family your more likely to start sooner too. My gramma started in her early forties, my mom started at 38. Just more fun for me to look forward to. =)
I've also heard if you started your period earlier in life that menopause comes on sooner too. Can't remember where I heard it though.
Sandra - posted on 05/28/2009
My mother started at 49 years old the full menopause. I am 43 and I am going through Pre menopause now for about a year. My doctor said it can start as early as 35 years old. My doctor said you can go through the pre menopause stage for years before going through the full stage of it.
I haven't seen my doctor yet for a second appointment to go over if medication is need yet or what I can do to lessen the symptoms.

I blog. Many things people do. Spending most time with the phone. Driving incessantly. Working around the kitchen. Reading. Watching television.
Sharing my thoughts with the masses. For those whom cares. For those whom browse. And for those whom are catching a glimpse on what I am writing from time to time. The feeling is the same. Godwilling and Godspeed.
We can turn cuckoo at wit's end. Long hours in the office. Commuting in traffic jams. Hurried lunch hour. And waiting for that special someone.
Not to mention calamities that befall us. Looking after the sick. When our car broke down. When our roof leaks. Or even when payments are due. Many had sleepness nights trying to make things right. Pity.
We get into the scheme of things in order to make a living. Staying by the sidelines is a spectator's sport. For the rich perhaps. But then again, how many are they rich folks out there? Majority are struggling for a living. Debts and rentals are the norms.
No joke. No crying wolf. Better late than sorry. Never say never again. Looking for options and finding solutions to everyday problem occupies the mind.
Meeting and talking to people rules the day. No man is an island. Money don't fall from the sky or grow on trees. They come from people. It's a reality. An honest day of work means everything.....................

When the police reopen the investigation, it casts suspicion on Allie and her best friend, Blake, especially as their budding romance raises eyebrows around town. Allie knows she must tell the truth. Can she reach deep enough to remember that night so she can finally break free? Debut writer Jennifer Shaw Wolf takes readers on an emotional ride through the murky waters of love, shame, and, ultimately, forgiveness.
So..that's it. Another review will be posted tomorrow and it is......The Selection by: Kiera Cass. I hope you enjoyed and you can never read too much. :)

I had a great experience at Technology Traders Booval. I took my wife's iPhone 6 to get repaired after she dropped it into the toilet. When I picked it up the next day, the phone worked as good as new and her data was still on the phone. Thanks Aaron. Highly recommended. Oct, 2016

Cameron is an absolute champion! I had a few problems with my phone and he fixed them straight away and actually walked me through what was wrong with it. Highly recommend these guys for phone repairs. I will be back as soon as i drop my phone again haha. Sept, 2016
ThomasCustomer - Toowong TT
Wow! Great service. Fixed a button on an iPhone and replaced a battery in another iPhone in less than 60 minutes. With a grocery store next door, we went to get some stuff, and when we came back, both phones were ready. The cost seemed more reasonable than other places that I called, and I didn't have to leave the phones for a day, so kudos! Oct, 2016
Daniel. ACustomer - Capalaba TT
I dropped my iPhone 6 and the screen was cracked. Within minutes of emailing the business they got back to me with a price quote and an estimated time frame for repair. I swung by the same day and they repaired it in 30 minutes. Super fast, convenient, and a good price compared to other businesses that I called/researched. I definitely recommend having a cracked screen repaired here! Nov, 2016
JohnCustomer - Toowong TT
The team of folks here are brilliant!!! I have brought in a number of devices that have either been killed by the kids, dropped or have started to deteriorate due to age and we have been given back healthy devices. Huge kudos to skills sitting in this shop. Thanks guys for helping us save precious memories or data. Prompt, friendly, knowledgeable and professional - A++ Oct, 2016
AnthonyCustomer - Booval TT
Great customer service with a knack for getting it right the first time and in a quick fashion. I seem to drop my Iphone and break the screen regularly, so finding a place that can fix it cheaper than other places while maintaining the quality I want is hard. To my surprise I found Technology Traders and haven't been to another retailer since. They have full stock of mobile phones, cases and chargers. They also repair computers, phones and tablets. It's a one stop shop for anything electronic and it's located opposite Coles in Capalaba shopping centre. Dec, 2016

I have decided that my blog name sucks. Yes, sucks. I find that word just sums things up. I want to write a condolence card that just says "This Sucks" because often there are no other words that explain suckiness quite as well. Please let me know if you come up with some.
Anyhow, back to my blog name sucking. I know I have no focus to my blog, it is a little all over the map. That's part of its charm perhaps? Not quite sure. Maybe I need focus. Meh, too much effort. Plus, that's not really me. I am pretty random sometimes so I like that my blog reflects that.
However, back to the name idea. I changed it to simply "Twisted Intelligence" but would like to do better, any suggestions?
I thought about the name Freshly Baked – writings from above the bakery.

There is such a thing as Tales of Extraordinariness #4: The Investigatist Returns. Yes, previously seen in ToE#1, the Investigatist now returns and faces his toughest case yet. It is pretty flipping tough.
Anyway, this mediocre publication might appear at Travelling Man Newcastle at some point (or not), but if you know me, just ask when you see me and I'll see if I've got any copies spare (though possibly not).

On August 14, 2018 at about 11:38 PM Waterloo Police Officers met with Whittney McGrane. She reported to police that her husband, Patrick McGrane, had damaged her vehicle with a shovel and poured an accelerant on the vehicle while her and a friend were inside the vehicle. Officers later located and spoke with Patrick McGrane. Mr. McGrane was arrested on charges of Arson in the 1st Degree. He remains in the Black Hawk County Jail on $150,000 bond, this incident remains under investigation.
A criminal charge is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

We must learn all we can from the recent flooding events in the north so we can be even better prepared the next time.
This was the key message from Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Michelle O'Neill as she announced she had appointed Alan Strong, the current chair of the Drainage Council, to lead a review into the winter flooding.
Speaking on a visit to Clady, requested by Grace McDermott, to view how the village had been impacted by the significant flooding last winter, the Minister said: "I am pleased that Alan has accepted my invitation to chair this review. It is important that he is independent from those involved with the management of this flood event and I am confident he will carefully examine current procedures and practices, test how robust, effective and fit for purpose they are, and make recommendations where necessary."
During her visit to the Tyrone village, the Minister heard how many of the flood defences in the Strabane District protected many properties during the prolonged and heavy rainfall in November and December. She was also briefed about the initial flood investigations which identified that some repair work was necessary. This is ongoing to ensure that existing defences are fit for purpose and ready for the next flood.
Minister O'Neill said: "As we all know, the flooding had a major impact on the lives and livelihoods of a significant number of people throughout the north many, like those I am meeting in Clady today, are still dealing with the effects. While the hard defences in Castlederg and Strabane fulfilled their function and protected the towns from flooding, we have reviewed and have undertaken some repair work to existing defences.
"The multi-agency response, involving Rivers Agency, TransportNI, NI Water, PSNI, NIFRS and the councils worked well and I want to once again offer my personal appreciation for the tremendous work that was undertaken throughout the many flooding events over the winter to protect people and properties.
"We have a duty to the people that we serve to ensure that we carefully examine our response to this emergency and learn lessons that can be applied, so that when the next storm comes along, we are even better prepared to minimise the impact on families, homes, businesses and farmland from flooding."
Mr Strong is a senior lecturer in environmental engineering in the University of Ulster and a well respected civil engineering professional. The Minister called on those affected by this winter's flooding to write to Mr Strong to outline their experiences, their concerns and most importantly, their suggestions on how the multi-agency response could be improved.
The Minister concluded: "For me, it is important that the review not only considers the multi-agency emergency response but that it also considers the issues faced by those most affected by the flooding. It is vital that the experiences of those most affected are captured and considered by the review. Alan is as keen as I am that this happens and he will meet with some residents, businesses and farmers, to hear about the effect the flooding has had on their lives and livelihoods."
Written correspondence from those affected by the flooding should be sent to Alan Strong c/o Rivers Agency, Hydebank, 4 Hospital Road, Belfast, BT8 8JP.
In his first task, Mr Strong chaired a review event - attended by representatives from Rivers Agency, TransportNI, PSNI, Fire and Rescue Service, NI Water and the local councils at CAFRE's Loughry Campus in Cookstown - which considered the effectiveness of the multi-agency response to the floods.

LYON, France — Tyler Adams looks and sounds like a man ready for the next challenge.
The 19-year-old has already made 52 league, playoff and cup appearances for the New York Red Bulls. Lately he's been making inroads at the international level and is slated to earn his fifth cap with the U.S. when it takes on France this Saturday. Combined with his exploits at last year's FIFA U-20 World Cup, it's clear that Adams is a man in demand. A long-rumored move to Bundesliga side RB Leipzig looks to be in the offing.
"The Red Bulls have been everything for me since I was a kid, so they know where I stand with having big ambitions to go overseas and ultimately reach big goals, playing in Champions League," Adams said at the U.S. team's hotel. "Hopefully one day I'll play at a stage where Christian [Pulisic] is playing and Weston [McKennie] and guys like that.
"For me, it means a lot that I've had talks with my club [and manager Jesse Marsch], and they know where I stand with that, and they want to help me with the best step going forward. But all I can focus on right now is playing well with Red Bulls so that doors continue to open up."
That focus will need to be at its peak against Les Bleus, who are among the contenders for the World Cup. Last weekend, a loss of focus saw a credible road draw for the U.S. against Ireland turn into a disappointing 2-1 defeat. The fact that France toyed with the same opposition on its way to a 2-0 win back on May 28 has prompted visions of a blowout.
Adams isn't pondering that scenario but appreciates the enormity of Saturday's challenge.
"You talk about it on a scale of 1-10: Ireland, OK, you're giving them a five; you have to say France is a 10 now. That's how the game gets ramped up," he said. "For me, I look at it as a huge opportunity.
"On the day, my idols that I look up to — N'Golo Kante, [Corentin] Tolisso, [Paul] Pogba, all these guys — now they're my rivals. And for me I look at that as a huge standpoint in my career. Now I'm playing against guys like this and this is what it's really about. You want to make a statement in games like these that you deserve to be on the field with these guys."
So far Adams has shown that at just about every level, climbing the ladder through the Red Bulls academy, the reserve team and finally establishing himself in the first team. He has accomplished this in part by continuing to refine his game. At the moment, that involves becoming more of an attacking force.
"I think that the biggest thing I've been working on every day after practice is catching balls on the half-turn and finding ways to set guys up successfully, whether that's with the ball, finding the right areas or spacing myself in between guys right in the middle so it's hard for them to defend me," he said. "Basically, becoming the biggest threat I can offensively."
There's no doubting Adams' defensive tenacity. One word that comes up often when Adams talks about his game is "competitiveness." It's a trait he's always had, though it amplified around the age of 11. Up to that point, Adams had been an only child, but when his mother, Melissa Russo, met Adams' now-stepfather, Darryl Sullivan, the family of two soon became a family of six thanks to Sullivan's three children.
"Once I met them, it was like hell broke loose," Adams said. "There were fights all over the house and in the front yard, whether it was soccer, basketball, anything. So I think that that helped me, as well. But at the same time, it helped me to kind of find good management and good temper control at the same time because on the field I'll flip a switch and I'm very competitive. But off the field it's a little more laid-back and relaxed."
That balance seems to fit well with that of other young U.S. talents such as McKennie. The two crossed paths at the U-17 residency program in Bradenton, Florida. Oddly, neither player ended up being a mainstay of that particular U-17 cycle, but the two have been reunited.
"Playing together every day, we found a pretty good chemistry, and that's continuing to build now with the national team," Adams said.
Saturday will provide the latest glimpse of the presumed U.S. midfield of the future, as well as a gauge of just how far they have to go.
"We didn't qualify for the World Cup, and there's heat that comes with that," Adams said. "But I think now, for a young squad, we have to put that behind us because there's a bunch of young guys eager to prove their points that we want to be the next real thing in the soccer world and we want to prove that U.S. soccer deserves a platform with the Frances and the Germanys."
If Adams can move that process along, there's no doubt that even more doors will open.
