Continuing my plan to share my A-Z Album, here are the next two pages. I have included two scans of each to uncover the pull-out journaling. I challenged myself in this album to find unique ways to incorporate interactive journaling. Enjoy!
"C" is for Car! In the summer of 2004, I surprised my whole family with choosing a silver Mustang Convertible to become my new run-around-town vehicle. I was so tired of the old mini-van days, and rarely had more than one kid with me as I drove back and forth to school or for other errands. So I figured, Why not? I loved that car. I never grew tired of it. It finally gave way to a little more practical sedan in January 2009, which I affectionately refer to as my "Grandma" car. The old Mustang will always hold a special place in my heart.
"D", of course, represents my three lovely daughters. I had such a wonderful weekend visit from my darlings. My prayers are with them today as they travel back to Idaho. Love you, Girls!

The English producer turns to an open-hearted IDM sound.
loader mither also soundtracks a more permanent love affair in the London-based artist's life: one with UK club culture that began when the Cheshire-born Koza started raving at English superclubs like Cream in the '90s."taped over the courtyard mix" is presumably named in tribute to the room in Cream where Paul Oakenfold held his famous residency, which for many—this writer included—was a gateway to more underground sounds beyond the trance spun there. "frm angel meadows to abundant slums" is similarly nostalgic, with an opening that recalls the Twin Peaks sample Moby used for "Go."
Koza acknowledges his inspirations without imitating them. "my well crap car" could be a nod to Squarepusher's "My Red Hot Car." (Koza has suggested the Warp artist is an influence.) But the style is all Koza's own, a curious mixture of the nervy and subdued, with skittish drum patterns winding through sounds that gurgle in the eardrum and echo in space. There's a similar interplay between the abrasive rhythm and forlorn melodies on "met her in the backsies."
Though markedly different from the house-driven sound of Koza's first EPs, the crackly interstices of tracks like "arthur two sheds" are quintessentially Koza. That subtle complexity is reflected in all his music's introspective moods, from the detailed deep house of 2013's "Mosquito" to the various interior worlds across this LP. loader mither is occasionally tinged with the bittersweet feeling that comes with thinking about the past. But the fresh ideas across the album ensure that Koza doesn't dwell on it.

All tour information is user generated and although we try our best, we cannot guarantee its correctness. Always consult people with knowledge about the area and get a proper map. If in doubt, hire a guide!
The description below is basically for skiers. However, the summer route follows more or less the same line.
If the road is not open until Pré de Mme Carle, start by following it cutting across some bends until the meadow. Go past Cézanne refuge, following the summer trail and go up the southern slope on the right bank of the torrent of Glacier Blanc, primarily along the path of the summer trail. This slope dries quickly during the season, while the meadow may still be covered with much snow. Above the point 2163 a rock band cuts across the slope. Cross it via the trail if it is visible, if not slightly more to the east, be careful the slope is steep and exposed
By ascending traverses you then reach the broad flat area at the foot of the final arm of Glacier Blanc. This entire first part is exposed to avalanches due to strong snow cover.
Pass to the left bank of the dale and climb in the direction of Glacier Blanc refuge which is visible. Go back up the dale to near rock barriers dominated by the glacier seracs, and climb in a steep corridor to the NE emerging to the west of the refuge, it is sometimes more comfortable to climb on foot. (It takes 2 hours from the Cézanne refuge to the Glacier Blanc refuge).
Pass the Glacier Blanc refuge and go up via a corridor to the right of the summer trail, to top out from there to the west at the altitude of 2640m. Via dales and croups, on the left bank of the glacier, you reach the glacier and take foot on a not very inclined area around 2850m. Stay on the left bank of the glacier to surmount a crevassed area, pass the dale which rises in the direction of the Col Emile Pic to reach the foot of the bar which supports the Ecrins refuge. You reach the refuge via an unrelenting slope to the east of it which passes the rocky steep pitch. (it takes 2 hours from the Glacier Blanc refuge, 4 hours from Pré de Mme Carle ).
Descend to the glacier via the slope you went up the day before. Stay on the left bank of the glacier in the direction of the Ecrins pass.
Do not go to the pass, stop around 3300m. The trail on the NE face of Ecrins starts from the left base of the face and traverses towards the SSE until under the bergschrund of Barre des Ecrins, on the left in line with the summit, then returns in a long traverse to the west towards Dome des Ecrins. Around the level of the Ecrins pass, you go up via steep slopes under the large serac of the lower right part of the face. Try to remain as much as possible on a side slope on the left to be the least exposed to any ice falls. Leave the slope on the left around 3600m. at a slightly less steep area, avoiding the crevasses as best as you can, to reach a flatter area (3700m.) in line with Barre des Ecrins summit. Continue moving towards the SSE on a steep slope (frequent risk of windslab avalanches) until below the bergschrund and then go diagonally to the west to reach the slope suspended under the bergschrund (3940m.). Traverse until the Dome bergschrund, cross it as best as you can, generally slightly to the west of the plumb line of Lory notch (3974m.). If the snow cover is good it is possible to ski the summit, if not you can reach it on foot from the bergschrund. It takes 3 to 5 hours from the refuge to the summit.
Descend by the same route, being careful to avoid the crevasses you found during the ascent.
For Skiers: On the flat area of Glacier Blanc, starting from 3250m., it is possible to descend the right bank. Skirt close to the slopes of Pointe du Serre Soubeyran (3472m.) and enter the right bank serac area. Avoid the seracs via a secondary corridor under the east face of Pointe du Serre Soubeyran. (entrance of the corridor at 2880m. S3). Skirt the glacier to reach the flat area under final glacier arm (2300m.). Be careful, be sure to locate this section during the climb to the refuge the first day, and make sure it has sufficient snow cover. The top out of the glacier between 2500 and 2300m is very exposed to stone falls and is done on fresh ice covered with stones when the snow has melted.
No guides yet.
Negative slope values means the track is heading uphill.

August is an incredibly exciting time for Missouri State's campus. From freshmen moving in, to seniors reminiscing, campus is bustling with life once more. There are so many things to do on campus the first week and a half (give or take) of everyone moving back. Whether it's to welcome everyone to their new home, or the home they've loved for years!
1. Fan Fest and Bear Bash
According to Missouri State's website, more than 5,000 students attend Bear Bash every year, making it one of the largest student events of the year. Students that attend the events can have the opportunity to enjoy free food, games, karaoke, bowling and many more fun activities right beside their residence halls.
2. Belong-B-Q
Behind Freudenberger (Freddy) residence hall, there's an annual barbecue that takes place that allows students to learn about multicultural experiences, play fun games, and possibly win prizes.
3. New Student Convocation
New Student Convocation at JQH Arena allows new students to be officially welcomed to campus, and have a significant kick-off to their first academic year as Missouri State Bears. Students get to be gathered with their peers, meet the Pride Band and others, and listen to a featured speaker.
4. New Student Festival
Following New Student Convocation, the Festival kicks off. The Plaster Student Union (PSU) is bustling with student organizations, eager to welcome new students into their respective homes. Students can visit booths of over 150 organizations and departments throughout the PSU and the entirety of its outside surroundings where they can learn more about these organizations and programs.
5. Concert-On-The-Green
Every year, the Missouri State Pride Band performs their annual Concert-On-The-Green. This year, they will be unveiling their 2017 edition of themselves in the football stadium for all to hear. The music ranges from jazz to Latin to pop, so every Bear can enjoy a variety of music.
6. Solar Eclipse Viewing
The well-anticipated solar eclipse coincides with Missouri State's first day of classes. Classes aren't cancelled, unless the professor states otherwise for each student's specific class. However, Springfield, Missouri will be having 96% coverage at its peak during the eclipse, and there will be a viewing party held in Plaster Stadium. Attendees receive glasses to help view the eclipse safely during this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
7. Sample Springfield
Sample Springfield is a tradition that has been going on for 33 years. During this event, local businesses come to campus and share information about themselves, offer samples, free gifts, and more. There will be over 60 tables that give away free information, gifts, coupons, and swag to students to help them become familiarized with the area.
8. Glow Climb
The Foster Recreation Center (FRC) is hosting Glow Climb, which allows students to dance and climb rock walls under black lights with glow-in-the-dark paint. Attendees receive a white shirt to paint themselves, along with glow-in-the-dark bracelets.
9. RecFest
The FRC welcomes back students with carnival food, games, and prizes to win. You can win free massages, gift cards to the Bookstore, and many more. Some of the games and activities that will be offered to students include a Black Ops obstacle course and a giant sticky wall!
10. Tour Meyer Library
From August 18th to September 8th, students can take a tour of Meyer Library. It is a great resource to have, as you very well may be spending much of your academic years inside those walls. It's best to know where things are, what the rules are, and how to find the books and book types you're looking for!
Students, enjoy these next few days learning about campus and meeting the newest Bears! We can't wait to see you at our first meeting on August 29th at 5:30 p.m. in the Traywick Parliamentary Room, PSU 313

This is the collective code of conduct during the camp, to guarantee an inclusive and safer space for everyone involved:
- Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other prejudice based on sex, gender, class, ethnicity, nationality, age, language abilities, physical-cognitive abilities or religious affilitation is totally unacceptable and will be challenged.
- Respect each other's physical and emotional boundaries. Always ask for explicit verbal consent before touching someone or crossing boundaries. "No" almost means "no", and a "yes" is valid only when it is actively explicit and expressed with free will and in an autonomous way, without any restriction, coercion or threat. Do not exert relations of power and speak out against them.
- Be aware of the space you occupy in discussions and the privileges you bring, including sex, gender, class, or ethnicity. Always respect each person's right and space to express themselves, and make sure that everyone has the same chance of being heard in conditions of equality and mutual respect.
- Avoid assuming the opinions, choices and identifications of other participants. Ask before assuming, and do not speak in other people's behalf unless explicitly requested.
- Recognize that we are not here to judge each other or to compete with each other. Try to learn as much as you can from other people's ideas and experiences, and share yours as well.
- Be aware of the language you use in discussions. Try to speak slow and use a clear and simple language that is understandable for all, so that no one is excluded or minorized in the discussion. There are no masters or disciples here, but only people who participate, discuss, work and enjoy their time with their equals.
- If someone violates these agreements, a mediation process may start depending on the wishes of the person who was violated. If a serious violation happens to the extent that someone feels unsafe or threatened, the agressor may be invited to leave and/or participate in a collective mediation process.
- Danger of fire: Due to high risk of wildfires, any kind of fire (including smoking) is strictly forbidden outside of the designated smoking area. Warn other participants about this issue and be careful to any acts that can have a risk of fire.
- This code of conduct is the collective responsibility of everynoe who participate in the camp; in the meanwhile, each person is individual is responsible for their own acts and behaviours.

Happy Tuesday, everyone!
My apologies. 😦 Normally, we post the final challenge a week before the conference in order to give folks time to catch up, but we kind of messed up the dates this time around! Because of this, we're posting a day early and your final challenge is going to be something all attendees should be doing anyway this week: Spending at least thirty minutes preparing for a successful conference!
Is this your first conference?
Awesome! I'm so happy you're taking a major step to better your career. Refer to my Conference Critique Workshop #4 post that has general tips. Some ways even us veterans can prepare for the conference are:
- Printing business cards. Nothing fancy, just your name, phone number, and email address on standard business card paper from Staples is fine! You never know who you'll meet and business cards are a lot easier than scribbling on scrap paper. 🙂
- Previewing books that our presenting editors and agents have represented in order to get a better feel of their tastes.
- Printing directions to The Claggett Center or loading the GPS now rather than waiting until Saturday morning when you're already late! (Been there, done that.)
- Or reviewing the schedule to decide which breakout sessions you'd like to attend.
Have you paid for a critique?
Then refer to the same above Workshop #4: Surviving your first critique and prepare by:
- Printing a copy of your manuscript so you can follow along without having to crane your neck to read your reviewer's copy.
- Making a list of specific questions about your manuscript or publishing in general so you'll be ready if there's any spare time and you'll get the most for your money!
- And for a bonus: Memorizing a short, intriguing pitch for the manuscript you're having reviewed and any others. That way, if an editor or agent asks, "Tell me about your story," or "What else are you working on," you won't become all deer in headlights, and mumble, "Um . . . it's, ah . . . you know, about a girl." Again. Been there, done that.
Don't have a pitch for your manuscript?
No worries, you still have time. Check out my Workshop #5: Perfecting Your Book Pitch post for tips!
Are you going to participate in the First Page/First Looks session?
If your answer is no, then seriously reconsider. They are AWESOME! And if you're lucky enough to have your page selected, where else will you get the chance to receive instant feedback from the pros . . . for free??
If you are participating, then now is the time to spit-shine and polish the sucker. For some tips, refer to Workshop #2: Amazing First Pages and to be sure your submission is formatted correctly, Workshop #3: Formatting.
Once it's ready, be sure to follow these guidelines that are slightly different from the SCBWI MD/DE/WV website, now that we know how many people will be on each panel:
- Fiction authors of novels and picture books, bring 6 printed copies, (paper-clipped together,) of your first page (double-spaced, 250 word maximum, size 12 font, no visible names,) to be handed in first thing Sunday morning.
- Nonfiction authors, bring 3 printed copies of your first page with same above specifications.
- Illustrators, please send 3 jpg images to Susan Detwiler firstname.lastname@example.com by Friday, June 22nd.
Will you be attending Richard Peck's "You're only as good as your first line," breakout?
Awesome, I can't WAIT for this one! And Mr. Peck has requested that each attendee come prepared with their own first line. Need some help with yours? Then refer to Workshop #1: Opening Lines for some tips and examples.
Have you missed our previous challenges and still want to be entered in the raffle?
No worries, you still have time to catch up, but our deadline is Friday at midnight. Here's the links:
Conference Challenge #1 – Voice or Point of View?
Conference Challenge #2 – Why do you love it?
Conference challenge #3 – Give yourself a Woo Hoo!
Conference Challenge #4 – Speed Plotting
Conference Challenge #5: The Reverse Book Trailer
Conference Challenge #6: Famous Quotes
Conference Challenge #7: Happy Active 4th of July!
Have a great week, and be sure to say hi to Larissa Graham, Susan Mannix, and me at the conference! We love meeting new writers. 🙂

Hereditary amyloidosis
Primary tabs
Hereditary amyloidosis is a condition in which abnormal protein deposits (called amyloid) form in almost every tissue in the body. Deposits most often form in the heart, kidneys, and nervous system. These protein deposits damage the tissues and interfere with how organs work.
Alternative Names
Amyloidosis - hereditary; Familial amyloidosis
Hereditary amyloidosis is passed down from parents to their children (inherited). Genes may also play a role in primary amyloidosis.
Other types of amyloidosis are not inherited. They include:
- Senile systemic: seen in people older than 70
- Spontaneous: occurs without a known cause
- Secondary: results from diseases such as cancer of the blood cells (myeloma)
Specific conditions include:
A liver transplant may be helpful. Talk to your health care provider about treatments.

Image via WikipediaTo be a master/
10000 hours you need/
practicing your skill/
On this journey that many of us boldly walk. We often have to travel alone and this gives us time to take action to get the one thing that many people neglect. This thing is mastery of our chosen skill. In these days mastery is not stressed, we are told that we should be well rounded, and be able to do many things good, rather than focusing our time and effort into one thing. This week during my study I came across a quote that really helped put this Ha2ku into perspective. My whole life I have heard the saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket" I have even given this advice to people I love thinking I was looking out for their best interest. In actuality when we give this advice what do is end up stripping the world of a possible master of a necessary skill. This saying has us submitting ourselves to all types of trainings and classes waisting our time trying to be well rounded so that we can fit in with everyone else around. Those who pursue this path may be dooming themselves to path of the saying " A Jack of all trades master of none" worst we deprive the world of a master. ( Back to my daily study of quotes and proverbs) I found a quote by Andrew Carnegie that confirmed what came to me earlier this week ,he stated "put all your eggs in one basket and watch that basket". This flips the conventional wisdom on its head. It also promotes thought that help people get unstuck in their lives. Those of you that have chosen to begin your journey seek mastery. Developing your skills will always pay for itself. Just learn to look at each our, each mistake is an investment in yourself.
Why am I stuck on mastery today. It is because I am truly seeing a lack of masters. For me Masters bring a balance to society by setting an example of dedication to their craft that speaks to our young people. They also present opportunities for others to seek mastery by becoming an apprentice. The apprenticeship tradition has vanished here, and I think that we need to begin to bring it back. Mastery also motivates adults to push to something beyond themselves. It appears to me that we have built a society that rewards mediocrity and have stopped pushing our young people or better yet luring them toward mastery. I firmly believe that when young people are given " the lure to mastery" we don't have worry about many of the issues that we are dealing with. When we build masters we invest in the future of our society.
Now lets look at this number 10000. This number came to me in 3 ways. a few years ago i was listening to one of my wise elders give a young man advice about his career choice. this elder listened very closely to what this young man said and he then told the young man " It is good that you have decided on what it is that you want to do in life, my suggestion to you is to get involved with (that field of work) and make your first 10000 mistakes as soon as you can". I later approached the elder and asked him why would he tell a young man to make 10000 mistakes. The elder stated that 10000 mistakes is what it would take for anyone in any field to become the best at what they did. The next time i heard this number 10000 was in a recent discussion with one of my brother's who stated that his research had revealed that it takes 10000 hours in a field to become proficient at that skill. He then followed up the statement with examples of individuals who were at top of their fields and traced their success back to the 10000 hours of practice. The Third place i ran into the number 10000 which predated these first 2 encounters was the first time I picked up the Tao Te Ching. In their there was verse 42 that states:
The Tao begot one.
One begot two.
Two begot three.
And three begot the ten thousand things.
When I look at the number I see the power to generate. we all know that their are way more things in the Universe than10000, but that number is a good number to wrap your mind around. In being able to wrap our mind around it we can open up to the infinite possibilities it opens for us. To make a long blog short and not get into the numerology of the number it is easy to see that the number 10000 is a good number because it is big enough to keep the mind busy, but small enough to grasp and work with. So for those of you on your journey seek mastery and to achieve it practice practice practice:Peace & 1hunidyears

Passengers stranded in Loveland after jet slips off runway
December 23, 2004
LOVELAND — Allegiant Air representatives were at work Thursday trying to arrange travel for 149 passengers stranded when a jetliner ran off a Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport taxiway Wednesday night.
Many of the passengers were University of Wyoming football fans headed to Las Vegas to watch their football team compete against UCLA in the Las Vegas Bowl.
The plane, a McDonald-Douglas MD-80 jetliner designed to carry 150 passengers, was taxiing toward the end of the airport's icy runway for take-off at about 9:30 p.m. when the nose wheel left the pavement and became stuck in mud and snow, Allegiant spokeswoman Tyra Squires said today.
"There were no injuries to the passengers, and no damage to the plane," she said. "It was moving at a very slow speed, and went a couple of feet off the edge of the taxiway."
Because the jet was stuck about a mile from the terminal, passengers remained on the plane until buses could be brought from Fort Collins and Loveland to ferry them to the Hampton Inn in Loveland, just northwest of the junction of Interstate 25 and U.S. 34, where Allegiant had booked rooms for them, Squires said.

The airport was shut down for almost 12 hours, reopening at 8 a.m. Thursday. At midday, Allegiant was planning to bring the passengers back to the airport, then travel by bus to Denver where the airline had an identical MD-80 standing by to take them to Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, airport crews freed the jet and officials deemed it ready to fly.
Allegiant will offer full refunds for those who opt to skip the late Las Vegas trip, and will give all passengers vouchers entitling them to future travel on any Allegiant route.

Seminar in Portugal discusses contribution of archives for collective memory construction
Carolina Gonçalves Alves, Documentation and Information Analyst of FGV's School of Social Sciences (CPDOC), participated in the 9thInternational Seminar on Archival Knowledge (SESA). The event brought together Portuguese and Brazilian experts in Archival and Information Science, on March 6-9, at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Coimbra (FLUC), with the aim of promoting a dialogue between experts from various countries and discussing the contribution of archives to the constitution of the collective memory of the countries of the Lusophone world.
At the event, dedicated to the subject "Archive(s) and Identity(ies)", she presented a study on the personal women's files deposited at the FGV CPDOC. As a result of collective reflections carried out by the team involved in the organization of the women's archives of the Faculty, the work aims to give visibility to the documents and, consequently, to women's narratives of Brazilian Contemporary History.
At the same event, Alves talked about the prospects and challenges on the use of social networks in the diffusion of the CPDOC collection. This debate is carried out within the scope of the Dissemination Project of the School of Social Sciences Archive, whose purpose is to expand the reach of the historical documents kept by the institution. Considering that the CPDOC brings together a referential documentary set for the country's recent history, the project proposes to use social networks as a tool to disseminate the collection in order to attract a new audience.

Pencil Stationery: (Clockwise from left) Diary, notebooks, post-it notes
Here's a couple of stationery concept boards I've been working on. Using pencils to decorate a set of stationery could be a little obvious but I started drawing these stylised pencils and I had to incorporate them into the designs. I like the fresh feeling of the bright colours paired with the neutral backgrounds which give them a little zing.

Memoirs have the power to move us, connect with us and allow us to share life changing experiences with people we'd otherwise never have the chance to know. It's been a while since we've had a Memoir Monday, but this week our intern Sarah is excited to share this special title with you.
I can't believe how lucky I am: one of my first assignments as Simon & Schuster Canada's new intern was to read an advance reader's copy of Cyndi Lauper's memoir! If my childhood had a soundtrack, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "Good Enough" (The Goonies, anyone?) would most definitely be on it. I can't even remember how many school dances those songs were played at, but it was enough that now, whenever I hear either, I can't help smiling. I've naturally (and somewhat biasedly, I suppose) always thought of Cyndi Lauper as happy-go-lucky, as bright and awesome as the outfits she wears in her '80s music videos. But starting with the first sentence ("I left home at seventeen"), Lauper shares some brutal and ugly truths from her life that has made me respect and admire her so much more–to the point that I've already startled a couple of complete strangers on the commute home by asking if they know all about Cyndi Lauper and if not they should read this book (available Sept. 18!).
Reading the book itself is a really neat experience; it feels as though Lauper is talking directly to you, which makes her story that much more compelling. I honestly couldn't put it down, even though there were some parts that described, um, some more disturbingly realistic aspects of the rockstar lifestyle. What surprised me the most, though, was how much I was able to relate to THE Cyndi Lauper; I had no idea, for example, that her song "Sisters of Avalon" was inspired by one my (and her) favourite books, The Mists of Avalon (which leads me to believe we'd totally be besties in real life). There are such incredibly intimate stories shared in this memoir (from her sexually abusive stepfather to the heartbreaking inspiration behind her fight against AIDS) that I, oddly enough, now feel proud of Cyndi, in the way that only a friend or family member usually does. But I also think that that's what makes Cyndi Lauper: A Memoir so great and so readable: by the end of the book, I really did feel like I was listening to someone I really knew and cared about. I was more than a little sad when I finished reading her story. Cyndi Lauper is no longer just a cool celebrity to me; she's a role model, and someone that I want to hear from again.
Keep rocking on, Cyndi. You're awesome, and so is your book.

Filmed on location in College Station and McKinney, Texas as well as Paris and Normandy, France. Written and Directed by Dean J. Augustin

I came out in 8th grade. I was outed to my parents that same year. I remember, my mother called me into the kitchen, and there on the table was my yearbook open to one of many signatures. One of my friends signed off her message "to my best gay friend ever!!!!" and my mother read it. That was a tense ten minutes, but an honest ten minutes.
My parents were accepting as was the town I grew up in. Even the all-male Catholic high school I attended was accepting. Admittedly, there were moments when I felt imperiled because someone blasted the word "faggot" right in my face. Luckily, I was equipped with two powerful weapons. One: the knowledge that my parents, sister and friends would support me. Two: because I was out of the closet, I could response to such comments with, "yes, what about it?"
I didn't realize how lucky I was. Sure, it was a struggle at times. Puberty is always a struggle. Perhaps it was a little bit more challenging for me because every guy I liked was (typically) heterosexual.
For obvious reasons, around this time in my life the "sexuality" topic started making frequent appearances. So, in order to understand myself better and meet open guys, I joined my school's gay straight alliance and encountered my first transgender (trans hopeful) person…
Person, guy, girl… I'm typically a strong speaker, but the terminology surrounding that friend was ambiguous, difficult, impossible and made me bungle.
"Can I address the GSA with my typical, 'hey guys,' if he… if she is in the group? Is that offensive?" I wondered things like this whenever he and I were in the same room. At the time I called him just by his given name.
You've probably noted two inconsistencies here. One being, how can there be a transgender person going to an all-boys Catholic school? He wasn't transitioned yet and wasn't going to go through the process until after graduation. The other inconsistency is summed up pretty well by something someone asked me in a meeting which was the inspiration for this article.
I said in the meeting I was the student-leader of the GSA at Saint John's Prep. He said, "a GSA… at a Catholic school?!" I've already said this a few times, but I will say it again – I grew up in an environment that fostered my development as a person regardless of my sexual orientation. I really have to thank the headmaster at the time for sticking it to the various pressures (student, parent, teacher, Catholic institution) and sticking with Always Our Brothers and Sisters.
My point is this: when she [I will use this pronoun from now on] was in the room I was confused. I wanted to be tolerant and accepting and understanding, but I found myself thinking "how could you want to do this to yourself?" I admit, I more than once thought it was silly and unnecessary. Furthermore, I knew intuitively that making the transition would bring a lot of pain on her. My reasoning was pretty simple; I thought I'd had a pretty hard time of it (I hadn't yet realized my luck) and I was "just gay." I wasn't in the "wrong body." I wasn't going to "spontaneously change genders." I put this is quotes because I remember saying it. This was before I had an accurate appreciation for the breadth and width of the transition.
In order to overcome this character flaw I approached the issue from the only avenue I was equipped to approach it from – intellectually. I researched. I studied. I read blogs, essays, journals, medical dictionaries, psychology publications, and anything else I could get my hands on. But even with these I could understand.
After a while I just got used to it. It took me time. But for a while I reacted how much of the public reacts; I feigned tolerance, avoided eye contact, and got out of the room. Like I said, it took time. It took knowing someone to really make me understand. I think the same strategy can work to end much of the intolerance out there.
That was high school. So, as if it wasn't hard enough for her at that time, she had to deal with her family's seemingly ambiguous treatment of her. Now it's all well and good – but there was a time when I was seriously worried that she might be booted from her home, booted from school, scalded by her friends, and disowned. She, like me, was lucky because none of these things happened.
Luck. Lucky to be born into an accepting family, in an accepting town with liberal views. Lucky to know what I wanted and who I was so young. Lucky, even, that my parents got a hold of my yearbook and read the entry.
But is it all luck?
Equipped with the experiences I had in high school and oozing with existential questions like these, I began the epic quest for a college.
I loved Catholic school, but I'd wanted more in my life than just upper-middle class white boys. So, I chose an educational experience with a high level of diversity. I left home and moved 25 minutes from my hometown in Danvers to Dorchester to attend the University of Massachusetts Boston. This is the second best decision I've ever made, second only to choosing Saint John's Prep High School.
UMB has a student body of nearly 15,000. Nearly all of these students work part time, many work full time, many have families and responsibilities at home. All juggle academics with "the real world." Teachers and parents have been telling me about "the real world" since I was in preschool. This is the first time my education and "the real world" have been so inextricably interwoven.
Because of this huge diversity and because we are in such a tolerant epicenter of the US, there are all kinds of people at UMB. This is why we have such a proactive, vibrant Queer Student Center who, last semester, opened the personal narrative of transgender youth up to the school.
It was a warmish room in the Campus Center, with a projector-screen, a collection of uncomfortable chairs, a neglected podium in the corner, and some food platters on a counter in the back. After people filed in, introduced themselves, and got comfortable the stories began pouring out. These were the kind of stories that you don't want to listen to. Their are so overpowering they actually do damage to your image of our "great country." Unlike tearjerkers in movie theaters, these were real events that happened to real people in "the real world."
Their personal narratives could not be anything but depressing given the subject of the meeting: transgender, homeless youth. I wrote an article for the Mass Media on the topic and on the meeting specifically. When I turned the piece in, I described it as "the most depressing thing I'd ever written." My editor at the time agreed. Here it is with some edits:
Many of their stories start the same way despite differences in race, gender, sexual preference, and age; upon coming out or being found out, they were all disowned.
One UMB student described his home life. First he was kicked out, then allowed back in after a couple week at which "the transgender issue" was strictly avoided. "I didn't know how to feel myself."
After a series of comings and goings from home and climactic fist fight with his mother. Finally, words all-too-often heard by those in the LGBT community were spoken, "you're not part of the family anymore." He was without a home for an entire summer.
Driven by some buried parental instinct, after the summer and after the irrevocable phrase was spoken, he was called back. Lacking any other place to go, he returned. But his parents "halted everything." That is to say, during this period he was undergoing the process of hormone therapy to become in body who he was in mind. "Living as a female," he said, "wasn't going to work for me." So, while it was embarrassing for his parents to have a "daughter who was living on the streets," they were still unwilling to accept him for who he was.
Others in the discussion had similar stories.
After being booted from their home and removed from the family the real horror story begins – they found themselves in a world without a ceiling and usually without food.
Another transgender (male to female) spoke about her experiences. Her mother died from Multiple Sclerosis and her relationship with her father was weak and inconsistent.
"One day he'd be like, 'I don't mind helping you out.' The next day, 'get the fuck out.'" Now homeless since 2005, she described her whole experience.
She went through "the whole nine yards" of vagrancy. In desperation she "started prostituting in the middle of being homeless." Prostitution gave her a house, some money and even a friend or two. Unfortunately, there were drugs and because of these, she spent a year in prison.
By the time she was released, she'd "stopped using." But, she was still without a home.
While "house hopping," she met the man she is currently engaged to. They sat together during the meeting, bonded by their protracted battle against homelessness.
What about the shelters and halfway houses?
She described a shelter called "the Shattuck." Before entering the proprietors patted her and her fiancé down to make sure they weren't carrying drugs or weapons. During this, the staff member groped her inappropriately. Nonetheless, "we [had] nowhere to stay tonight." They found a spot to lie down.
"They pretty much wanted to separate us," she said, describing how she and her fiancé were treated. She had had enough. Infuriated by their treatment, she called the police and reported the abuse. The police did nothing. She described the attitude of the police towards them as, "you're fagots, so whatever."
Another in the group said that he sometimes "felt more comfortable on the street" because so few shelters stop discrimination even when it's manifested violently.
As if the struggle to find a shelter wasn't enough, they must struggle to find an "appropriate shelter." Ideally, this means a place free of harassment, but typically the only option is to find a shelter where they "can hide within the crowds."
There are some reliable shelters. Mark, a program director of Waltham House, stated the importance of taking a "step out of our comfort zones […] and advocating for these things that are not common practice," such as the protection of typically ostracized individuals in hopes that he can create a "safe environment."
Mark added, "in addition to being kicked out of home […] they're also running from the people who are supposed to be helping them."
Another member of an organization seeking to improve conditions of this large population put it well, "poverty had no color, no preference." Yet, it does not follow that those fighting poverty are open-minded.
A study done by the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force recently published a report appropriately titled, Injustice at Every Turn: A Report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey. The survey, as the title suggests, gathered large quantities of data from transgender individuals and compiled the information in one single massive study.
Originally, when I was looking at reports in high school, I had almost no faces to put with these numbers. Sure, I had the one friend whose transition went relatively smooth. But, this report tells the story of people far less fortunate.
Let's begin with children. Try to take into account everything they're going through at the time of their transition or their decision that they wish to transition. In transgender respondents between kindergarten and 12th grade, 76 percent reported harassment; 6 percent reported expulsion (due to their sexual identity); 35 percent reported physical assault of some kind while 12 percent reported sexual assault specifically.
As if this wasn't enough to upset you, these numbers can be broken down even further. Ethnicity and which direction of the transition (that is to say, male to female or female to male) also are accounted for. Even among this group of abused, there are subdivisions which clearly demonstrate a stronger bias against people of color. For example, the number of physically abused among blacks is 83 percent, 7 percent higher than the average.
But, perhaps the most criminal number is that seemingly small 6 percent. None of the other numbers give any identification as to whether or not administrative help was granted. Within the study itself, a girl who identified as gay said, "shortly after I came out in high school, I began receiving threats in my locker. The usual idiocy: 'damn dyke, no one wants you here,' or ,'fucking fag'." I would hope that such abuse, if reported, would result in the expulsion of those who wrote the note. The unique nature of that 6 percent is its demonstration that the administration of some schools not only fail to stand by gender-non-conforming students, but that they actively abolish them through expulsion.
There is a related statistic for adults, or at least those who have held jobs. 47 percent report "an adverse job outcome such as being fired, not hired or not promoted" due to their sexual preference or identity. With a number like that, it's not surprising that transgender individuals experience unemployment at twice the rate of "typical Americans" with "people of color up to four times the national unemployment rate." Even if a sexual-non-conformer does manage to get a job, "90 percent of those surveyed reported harassment or mistreatment on the job."
I've been told (and I've now looked it up) that it is, in some places, illegal in to be homeless. Many small city ordinances and state laws make it illegal, for example, to lodge in a public place, or a private area without the previous permission of the owner. Yet, it is two to four times more difficult for transgender identifying individuals (according to the numbers just conveyed) to get a job, make a stable income and find a stable place to stay. This is ignoring further discrimination in housing markets and apartment rental.
Do they have a family to go home to? "43 percent maintained most of their family bonds, while 57 percent experienced significant family rejection." Thus, laws targeting the homeless are laws targeting transgender individuals more than anyone else.
"22 percent were denied equal treatment by a government agency or official; 29 percent reported police harassment or disrespect; and 12 percent had been denied equal treatment or harassed by judges or court officials."
There is no end to the numbers – the statistics are staggering and there is no good reason, nor any viable excuse for the story the numbers tell.
I guess "the real world" my teachers told me about when I was younger isn't such a nice place. It puts people in boxes, pushes them into a sweeping tide of drugs, poverty, prostitution, and pain and watches them float away with a smirk. Well, it's not so much the world as the people who occupy it.
There is no good reason for the following statistic: "41 percent of respondents reported attempting suicide compared to 1.6 percent of the general population."
I am lucky. I continue to gain greater appreciation for how lucky I am. But I shouldn't have consider myself lucky. There is no reason that the way I grew up has to be the rare exception to a rule of oppression and abuse. The real world isn't such a bad place and the most aggravating enemy opposing equality is apathy. Continuing studies like these and their publication is a crucial factor in creating a country of understanding and tolerance.

The Pennsylvania Farm Bureau is holding its annual meeting in Hershey this week and its members will consider 158 resolutions.
One that is generating a lot of interest will be a vote on the bureau's policy opposing any expansion of hunting on Sunday.
The issue is House bill 1760 which would allow Sunday hunting on state-owned lands and private properties, including farms.
The NRA supports Sunday hunting, saying farmers should be allowed to make their own decisions about how to manage their land for hunting .

Nina Pham is the 26 years old Texas nurse who was lately diagnosed with Ebola disease in October. She was infected with the disease after she was caring for Liberian National Thomas Eric Duncan who was having the same disease. Thankfully she had gotten better and finally was released from hospital after a battle with death. But the first thing that Nina thought about was her dog. She wanted to see her dog named Bentley; her dog was under quarantine for about three weeks because there were worries that the dog may carry the same Ebola disease. So they made for the dog some tests, and she was completely isolated in Dallas Animal Services, who also posted many amazing photos later for Bentley the dog. Caring for Bentley, Nina's dog was very expensive, lots of money was needed for this but thankfully all the donations had covered it. It's amazing to see how people supported Nina on her hard time, even by helping her precious dog.
Thankfully, all the tests that have been made on Nina's dog were negative, Bentley was completely healthy, and it was then the time for the great reunion. They gave Bentley a bath and cleaned her up, and then it was the reunion time, tears and wagging tails. Bentley was very happy to reunite with her owner Nina and her family. It's very joyful to see that the hard time Nina and her family faced, had just ended up with tears of joy.
Now, Nina will have a new start, and as she said, Bentley the dog was always the reminder of encouragement and hope, she was the one who helped Nina to never give up. Nina had given a speech lately after she was reunited with her dog, she was thankful for everyone who helped her and supported her in her hard days. Nina was thankful for everyone who did their best to care for Bentley when she was fighting the Ebola disease.

CM to SFC: Engage private sector to promote Sarawaks national parks, wildlife as tourism products
8 month ago, 02-Dec-2019
Len Talif (third left) presenting a souvenir to Abang Johari (second right) as Sarawak Forest Department Director Datu Hamden Mohammad (left) and SFC CEO Zolkipli Mohamad Aton look on.
KUCHING: Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg wants Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC) to look into the possibility of engaging the private sector to promote and market Sarawaks national parks and wildlife as tourism products.
Abang Johari suggested that the private sector could look into targeting specific tourists for premium tour packages, promoting the best of what Sarawak nature and national parks could offer.
I would like SFC to look into the possibility to get the private sector to come in, and the private sector is good at promotion and also to find new markets. But for the asset itself must comply with the conservation, and that has to be done by our SFC.
Perhaps, I will ask the management to look into that possibility and try to get the private sector to come in but must be controlled tourists, not open for mass tourists, and we charge premium so that we can get some revenue for us to upgrade the infrastructure within our national parks.
Im very confident that is the type of tourists we can attract that will give premium revenue to our state, he said during the SFC 16th Anniversary Dinner here last night.
Abang Johari, who was a Tourism Minister for two terms since 2000, made the suggestion after encountering a tourist who was a bird watcher coming to Bako, here just to watch birds.
He said the reason why the initiative was targeted at specific types of tourists such as the bird watchers were because when he spoke to the bird watcher, he was told that the bird watcher spent a considerable amount of money just to come to the state to watch the various exotic birds.
On top of that, Abang Johari said he was told that the camera and imaging equipment brought by the bird watcher costed more than RM40,000 at the time.
In other words we have to pay attention to this type of tourists. They have a lot of money, and are willing to spend so much just to see the birds, he said.
On that note, Abang Johari also highlighted the importance of conserving the nature and environment of the state, so that not only these types of tourists would continue to come to Sarawak, but it would put Sarawak in the eyes of the world as one of the best nature tourists destinations.
Because of that, we are attracting these tourists. We have to look after our nature. These are some of the attractions that we have, and these people (tourists) who come over here, they are rich people.
That is the trend now because the world is having a problem where the natural habitats of these animals are declining, and they might go extinct. That is why thank God, we in Sarawak still have a lot of nature reserves, so we have to look after them properly, he said.
Earlier, SFC Chairman Datu Len Talif Salleh in his speech talked about the declining population of Sarawaks indigenous Helmeted Hornbills.
He said the reason for the decline was because of poaching, where a single catch of the bird could fetch for more than RM1,000 in the black market in China.
He said to date SFC had conducted more than 60 wildlife operations, arrested 33 suspects, rescued 1,000 wildlife and opened 11 investigation papers.
From those operations, Len Talif said SFC enforcement teams had confiscated 148 hornbill ivory and other wildlife parts.
Meanwhile, Abang Johari said recently, he was encouraged after meeting several European Union (EU) ambassadors, that if Sarawak were to keep up with its conservation efforts, EU might consider buying Sarawaks oil palm products again.
This was following the bad reputation of oil palm plantations causing severe environmental impact in this region.
This had prompted the EU to ban imports of palm oil products from Malaysia and other regions, as well as phasing out the import of palm oil based biofuels by 2030.
As you know our oil palm reputation is not that good in the EU. I met ambassadors from the EU, I told them about our conservation efforts, and they said if we have that management they will (consider to) buy our palm oil, provided that we can prove that we are also conserving our environment.
Because of that I will not approve anymore opening of new oil palm plantations. We only do agro park for food production, at the same time we will replant our degraded forest.
If we do that, I think in the next 10 to 20 years we will revert to what Sarawak was once was with lots of trees.
But there must be a political will, and I hope you will support me to do it, said Abang Johari.

Usually, I sit behind a computer and type words about motherhood. Earlier this month, however, I had the privilege to speak at a moms group called Moms On A Mission.
Click here to check out the audio.
Scroll down to Happy Homes by Sarah Williams
Don't you think my double chin is hot?? Thanks, kids.
(My belt is messed up because of the wireless microphone I was wearing. There were technical difficulties with it…which is why the audio starts at a weird place…so I used a handheld mic. I did not realize the wireless mic pulled my belt funny until I saw the pics. My attempts to be halfway stylish and wear a maxi dress were thwarted by technology. Dang it.)
When writing, I aim to appeal to all moms. Raising children is a calling and job that unites moms of any background, religion, etc. Though our experiences are all different, we have all a common goal of loving our kids well and raising them as best as we can. I don't usually talk specifically about my faith. I value my faith immensely, but what I normally write about applies to (hopefully) all moms…so I don't feel the need to weave it in. I know that each individual mom will translate what I write into her own life context.
In this audio segment, I am speaking at a church, so I share a lot about my faith. Even if you are of a different faith, I think you will find what I share valuable.
Take a listen and tell me what you think!
How have you made motherhood harder than it has to be??

Isekai Yururi Kikou – Chapter 141
Receiving a Request
I intended to take it easy after going shopping with Rebecca-san, but Allen and Elena seemed wanting to move to their hearts' content soon, so we came to the Adventurer's Guild to receive a request, and looked at the written requests on the board.
「「Which to do~♪」」
Just as I thought, the two eyed the requests while singing happily.
「Now then, which one would be good?」
Err……『Seeking Shadow Wolf fangs』『Seeking Water Bear pelts』『Seeking Giant Boar pelts』huh. These would be subjugation-type, harvesting requests. Requests like these involve defeating the corresponding monsters and submitting only the requested parts. The rest can be sold off.
We always accept only herb-picking plant requests, so we had not received any subjugation request before~
However…… they are all materials I have on hand. If we accept these requests, I could finish it right on the spot……
There would be no meaning in accepting a request…… the children wouldn't be content.
No, should I leave them in the《Infinite Storage》and go harvest new ones? We should do that if there are no particularly valuable requests.
「This is~?」
While trying to decide on the subject of the request, Allen pointed at one of the written requests.
The two still only know numbers and simple letters, so he must have pointed at something which stood out.
「This one?」
「This is a request wanting the『Cotton Sheep's wool』…… it's a sheep that looks like a lump of fluff~」
「「Lump of fluff~?」」
「Yeah, I think it should be a lump of fluff? Well, I have not actually seen it myself before」
Cotton Sheep is apparently a monster with the bulky wool of a sheep.
Is that hair a cotton? Is it a wool? That's the question.
But, I wouldn't understand unless I touched it.
「「Lump of fluff, wanna see~!」」
「N? Errr……――Ah~ this one is not good」
「The request is too far away. It would be a bit unreasonable」
Unfortunately, the main habitat of Cotton Sheep seems to be in the alpines of a foreign country.
There wouldn't be a problem if we planned to go that way, but it would be unsuitable for today's request.
Although unwilling, Allen and Elena gave up, so I decided to look for another request.
「Then, this~」
Next, Elena pointed at a written request.
「This one? This is……」
This request was seeking the scale of a Leviathan.
「Ah~…… this one is also not good」
「This request is asking for a scale of Leviathan――in other words, Kaiser's scale. Allen and Elena wouldn't like to hurt or bring pain upon Kaiser, right?」
I do not know whether it would be possible for us to tear off Kaiser's scale. Besides, I have no idea whether tearing off scales from Kaiser would hurt him. I mean, the time we received a scale from Kaiser, he casually ripped it off of himself. It might be actually the same feeling as plucking a hair is for us. But, the two wouldn't be satisfied unless I said something like this.
Just as I thought, the two refused with all of their might. They will surely give up on this request.
Rather, who is it, the one who put up such a request! Even though Leviathan scales aren't something so easily obtainable. Well, the remuneration for the completion is that staggering though!
「See, it's not a good request. Therefore, let's look for a different one」
「「Un, got it~」」
The children consented, so we viewed the requests once more.
「「That is~?」」
This time, Allen and Elena pointed at the same request.
「This one? This is『Seeking Bloody Wolf pelts』」
「「I know!」」
「Indeed. We have defeated Bloody Wolves in the Gaya Forest before」
「「Un! …… Huhh~ we have?」」
「Pelts of the Bloody Wolves? Yup, we do~」
Ohh~ After Allen and Elena chose this request, they seem to have noticed that we could complete it immediately?
「You understood it well. That's right. Even if we accept this request, it would end once we hand over the pelts」
「「No good-!」」
「Haha. Allen and Elena's turn would get lost after all, right?」
「Let's choose a different request then. Now then, is there anything good, I wonder~ ――Oh, wouldn't something like this be good?」
As I gazed at the large number of requests again, the request in the vicinity of the Capital frequently appeared, and yet, there were numerous monster materials I have not heard of before.
「「What is it~?」」
「N? This one requests the『Battle Eagle feathers』. We have not fought any bird-type monsters before, but how about it?」
「「Will do~」」
「Alright! Let's settle on this one then」
We have no experience against bird-type monsters, but the objective this time is the feathers. If there are fallen feathers around the nest, we really wouldn't have to fight the Battle Eagle. Therefore, there shouldn't be a problem with the degree of difficulty.
Besides, Battle Eagle itself is a C-rank monster, so it's not like we would fall behind if the fight broke out.
「Allen, will fight~」
「Elena, will do her best~」
Allen and Elena were full of motivation to fight as always.
「There's no need to defeat it by all means, but…… well, if an enemy comes at us, I will leave it to you」
We won't know until that time, but because we will surely encounter monsters on the way, it's not like there won't be any fighting for the two. I will have the two do their best at that time.
That being the case, I promptly took the『Battle Eagle feathers』request, and finished the procedures at the reception.
