Christmas giveaway and return to sender..
26 comments:
Not just you... I did a Christmas Fair yesterday. Took €13 and the stall fee was €10! Considering I had spent a whole day there and it was 25 kilometres from home I was out of pocket too. Like you, I am now reconsidering what I do...ReplyDelete
I used to do bear fairs, some good some not so good, very demoralising. Hope things pick up for you.ReplyDelete
I agree- it is difficult to price things. I have not done any Christmas Fairs this year. Beautiful giveaway [how I longed for a Sindy doll as a child - I used to spend to spend hours sewing dresses for my friends' dolls, cos it meant I got to play with them for a bit]ReplyDelete
I think you should definitely think about an Etsy shop, even if it's just so I can get my hands on some of your vintage goodies! Your blog brings lots of joy to to people, I hope it helps you too!ReplyDelete
Please enter me, I love that deer, and I'm a bit partial to a good tin......I would love an old quality street one from my youth! :)
Oh what a pretty giveaway! I love the wreath you made. Stop by and visit me, I'm having a giveaway too!ReplyDelete
Dorothy @ www.hensrule.blogspot.com
What a fabulous giveaway, I'd love to be considered. I found a Sindy doll in the sandpit of our local park when I was little. I swapped it later for a gonk; one of my biggest regrets..... I agree with Ada, you should definitely have an Etsy shop. Your stall, btw, looks gorgeous. xxReplyDelete
Oh dear ... sorry to hear the fair was not a good one. The last one I did (a couple of weeks ago) was the worst ever so don't beat yourself up over it and hopefully things will pick up. Love the wreath. Hope you have a good week. M xReplyDelete
ROFl here so its you I've been bidding against on Ebay is it???? Hmm will have to up my bids.............. I too have had "Bad Fair Days" Just keep going, and pray next one will be better. If I win the giveaway I promise to PM you first so we don't bid things up to silly prices :-) JoanReplyDelete
I've just done a rubbish fair too ... Could be there are too many things on at once, there were hardly any people at mine! Sorry you've had some sad times, I hope you and your family are ok.ReplyDelete
I'm having trouble with my pics, need to get them sorted!
Enough waffling, down to the nitty gritty! Yes please I'd love to enter your fabulous giveaway ... And I'm easily contacted through my profile!
Have a lovely evening
Claire xxx
Oooh lovely giveaway, please enter me!ReplyDelete
I've always sold on eBay, but am dipping my toe into Etsy at the moment...it all takes time tho' (which I don't have at the moment!)
I've found that having open house events, both at my home, and also at friends and colleagues houses are more lucrative as you've got a captive audience (ooh that sounds mercenary, but it's so rubbish to pay for a stall, stand there all day, then make a bloomig loss) I offer the hostess 10% of sales to spend on my goodies.
Sally x
PS Like you I also use my blog as a tra-la-la hideaway :)
Can you enter me too! Sorry to hear about the fair, it is a horrible feeling sat there with few sales. I haven't done a fair in a while because of it!I also noticed that quite a few people are not shy about just taking ideas from my/others work. I too would echo the Etsy shop idea, as you can sell vintage pieces. The thing which puts me off is working out all the postage.I've had more success on ebay.FlissxReplyDelete
I am sorry to hear you've had sad times, sending you all a quiet hugReplyDelete
Oh lovely Jenny I have been so busy recently, and have only just caught up on your last few posts - all a joyous array of things to see and words to giggle at...apart from the bit about you having a sad time. That is rotten and I hope better times are around the corner. This may seem a bit churlish but please don't enter me for the givewaway - I won such a gorgeous prize last time I think it is someone else's turn! I just wanted to pop in and say thanks for the laughs and the lovely photos - especially love the wall of fabric hoops - too too beautiful. Take care lovely lady. Rachel xxReplyDelete
I would love to be entered into your fab giveaway, Im already a follower.ReplyDelete
I have only done one fair so fair, not great, but at least I made the price of the stall, and spent a morning with my bestest friend so not all bad!
Hope things pick up soon.

Hi Jenny, I would love to be entered in your giveaway please. On the subject of fairs etc we are having a Christmas tree festival and craft market in the village this Saturday. I had thought of having a table, but the pitch costs £10 and most of my items are under £5 and I really doubted whether I would make much profit, so I have decided not to go with it. I'm taking my doll's house along for the bygone toys section (just for show) so I'm still supporting the village!ReplyDelete
I sell my wares on Folksy and get steady sales, I've sold a patchwork cushion this morning - yipee!
Sorry to hear about your sad times, big hug.
Oh how I wish I could have been to see your stall - those tablecloths would all have come home with me because, as you know Jenny, I really do need one or two more. I spy a tin of Dorcas pins (I could never get the lid off mine).ReplyDelete
I haven't tried selling on Folksy or Etsy mainly because I haven't got around to it yet. But I do seem to do ok at fairs and I too have a lot of things under £5. I view them as "loss leaders" that draw people in and hopefully I can then tempt them to spend a little more - very Sainsbugs. Philippa xx
I thought about doing a fair but the table cost £40 and I didn't think it would be possible to even make that money back so I went to the fair to see how busy it was... I was right it was no where near the high street as promised and most people bypassed the stalls and went straight to the cake. But sometimes you just need to try things don't you. Better luck next time, your stall looked very pretty. Hugs Sarah xReplyDelete
Hugs to you and yours Jenny... sorry I didn't make the last Bazaar... back just wasn't up to it... I would have bought some things from you for sure. There will be a new homemade and vintage event happening near me in the new year in a large village hall, cheap stall prices, easy access if want more info just let me know. I think Etsy could work or just add Big cartel to your blog. CxReplyDelete
I would love the Peek Frean's tin, my Mummy and Aunties worked at their factory in Bermondsey in the 50's. Sorry your trading was naff but please don't give up, your market needs you. We also thought your stuff was too pretty and precious to touch but not sure how to rectify that. What about selling to vintage shops, Vintage @ Chi were asking for stock. Keep calm and tra la la on.ReplyDelete
Eco Ethel xx
ps, check out Custard Hall on Jelly Jam! EExxReplyDelete
well done for trying the christmas fairs. I'm not sure what the magic receipe is. I don't really think a lot gets sold, perhaps etsy is worth a try although I haven't cracked that either! you stall did look lovely though, don't lose hope, Heather xReplyDelete
What fun giveaway items and a gorgeous table display!ReplyDelete
Not sure if this helps but I'm currently on Etsy and Notonthehighstreet.com (NOTHS). When I first joined Etsy under my previous shop name I had a slow trickle of sales. After changing my shop name I've had no sales. However, since joining NOTHS I have had a regular stream of sales (more than my Etsy shop), which is great. To date, I would say NOTHS is better as more people can find you compared to Etsy but then I know plenty of people who do really well on Etsy.
I think with your items, you would do well on Etsy. It's also a good starting point as it's expensive joining NOTHS, so Etsy is a good starting point.
Best of luck with whatever you decide!
Jo :-) x
Hi Jenny, we missed you at the last V&VN, even Maureen didn't turn up ! but there were thousands of people so don't be down cast & comeback with your beautiful stall next year, but don't forget your prices ( you chancer ! ) am still on the hunt for a green scarf if you have one you can bear to part with ? sorry its taken me a while to get in touch I wasn't sure how to contact you via the blog, have had to consult my son for it support ! DebraReplyDelete
p.s Bea & I love the Blythe photos
contact me via: http://www.debrabuchanan-lee.co.uk/Contact_Us.html
Hope things improve! Your stall looked lovely - wish I was nearer, nothing like it round here!ReplyDelete
Hi, I did a local craft fair Saturday and nearly made enough to cover what I spent on other stalls!! But it did seem to be the pocket money stuff that was selling..couple of pound here and there. But we did get to sing some carols and sample mince pies so every cloud...!!ReplyDelete
I would love to enter your giveaway...the stag embroidery would go well with my paper mache moose head that I've draped in fairy lights. Who needs a tree???
Cool giveaway...hope I'm not too late to enter. (Been a bit of a mad week and blogging was relegated low on the list - again.)ReplyDelete
You know, fairs are nice things to visit but, for me, not so nice to sell at. I wonder if peeps think they will go and find humungous bargains - like, boot fair prices maybe, and are horrified to find that, actually, things are priced at their proper value and, even more shock and horror, the seller hopes to make a profit?? I don't know but so many folk report that their biggest sellers are the very low priced goodies. Not worth doing anymore, methinks. Especially not if you have handmade something and spent hours doing it. I'm an Etsy and Folksy seller and very happy with both of them - Etsy is better than Folksy in terms of sales.

Sentencing Law & Policy Blog Features Rob's Piece on "The Racial Geography of the Federal Death Penalty"
The piece, co-authored by blog contributor Rob Smith and attorney G. Ben Cohen, is available on SSRN. Professor Berman at Sentencing Law & Policy recently spotlighted the piece here.
The abstract states:
Scholars have devoted substantial attention to both the over-representation of African-Americans on federal death row and the disproportionate number of federal defendants charged capitally for the murder of white victims. This attention has not provided an adequate explanation for (much less resolution of) these disquieting racial disparities. Little research has addressed the unusual geography of the federal death penalty, in which a small number of jurisdictions are responsible for the vast majority of federal death sentences. By addressing the unique geography, we identify a possible explanation for the racial distortions in the federal death penalty: that federal death sentences occur disproportionately where the expansion of the venire from the county to the district level has a dramatic demographic impact on the racial make-up of the jury. This inquiry demonstrates that the conversation concerning who should make up the jury of twelve neighbors and peers – a discussion begun well before the founding of our Constitution — continues to have relevance today.
After documenting both the historical and racial relationships between place and the ability to seat an impartial jury, and the unique impact demographic shifts in the jury pool have on death penalty decision making, we propose three possible solutions: 1) A simple, democracy-enhancing fix: a return to the historical conception of the county as the place of vicinage in federal capital trials; 2) A Batson type three-step process for rooting out the influence of race on the decision to prosecute federally; 3) Voluntary measures by the Attorney General to mask demographic and location identifiers when deciding whether to provide federal death-authorization. We explain why a return to county-level jury pools in federal capital cases (whether through statutory construction, legislative change, or through the authority of an fair-minded Attorney General) prospectively limits the impact of race on the operation of the federal death penalty, without establishing the intractability of the federal death penalty as a whole. Finally, we observe that any effort to study the federal death penalty cannot merely address those federal cases in which the Attorney General has considered whether to approve an effort to seek the death penalty, but must also include an assessment of the cases prosecuted in state court that could be prosecuted federally and the prosecutorial decision concerning when and whether to prosecute in federal court.
The piece poses a lot of interesting questions about race, federalism, jury selection, and the geographic arbitrariness of the death penalty. As always, we invite commentary and discussion here.
This Week at the Supreme Court
This Tuesday and Wednesday, I'll be watching four oral arguments at the Supreme Court (assuming I can get in line earlier enough both mornings).
Professor Berman the Sentencing Law and Policy blog notes in this post that it will be a big week for sentencing followers:
As detailed in this SCOTUSblog post and in this CrimProf post, the Supreme Court is hearing oral argument on three notable sentencing-related cases during this abbreviated week. Specifically, these three (of my list of top 10) sentencing cases to watch this term are to be argued in the next two days (with links and descriptions from SCOTUSwiki):
To be argued Tuesday, October 13:
- Padilla v. Commonwealth of Kentucky (08-651) — effect of defense lawyer's wrong advice on consequences of a guilty plea
- Smith v. Spisak (08-724) — unanimity of jury as an issue in finding mitigating evidence in a capital case
To be argued Wednesday, October 14:
- Alvarez v. Smith (08-351) — right to court hearing to challenge forfeiture for a drug crime
I suspect that Spisak and Alvarez might get the most press attention, but I think Padillais the case that could prove to be the most consequential. All three cases are likely to be quite significant if the Justices ultimately resolve them in "big" ways; all three may well be forgotten before long if the Justices embrace a minimalist approach to their decision-making. As always, I heartily welcome and encourage pre-argument predictions and punditry on any or all of these SCOTUS cases in the comments.
Court-Watching: Maryland v. Shatzer
Today was the first day of the Supreme Court's October Term. According to SCOTUSblog, the Court postponed the first scheduled argument of the Term – South Carolina v. North Carolina – because the two lawyers slated to argue the case both had family emergencies. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get inside the Supreme Court for the case I really wanted to watch today – Maryland v. Shatzer. (I learned my lesson… don't use the Court's restroom before getting a card with a number to save your spot in the line). However, I did see almost all of the second argument in Mohawk Industries, Inc. v. Carpenter. I will write a brief post on my initial impressions of the Carpenter argument later. I've reviewed the transcript from Maryland v. Shatzer, so I will share some of my observations from that here.
In Shatzer, the Supreme Court must decide whether Edwards v. Arizona – which bars police from initiating questioning with criminal suspects who have invoked their (Miranda) right to counsel at interrogation – applies to an interrogation that takes place nearly three years after the invocation. The case presents unique facts that test will test the Court's willingness to enforce the bright-line rules announced in Miranda and Edwards. In 2003, the police suspected Michael Shatzer, Sr. of sexually abusing his then three year-old son. When approached by a detective, Shatzer, who was incarcerated on another unrelated offense at the time of the interrogation, said that he would not talk to the police without a lawyer. The detective terminated the interview. The police shortly thereafter closed the sexual abuse investigation. In 2006 — three years later — the police re-opened the investigation because the alleged victim was able to make more specific allegations. At this time, the defendant waived his Miranda rights and gave a statement. The court below ruled that the statement could not be introduced at trial.
At oral argument, the State of Maryland took the position that a "break in custody" should allow police to re-initiate questioning without providing a lawyer to the defendant who requested one:
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Without regard to the time? A break in custody of one day, do you think that should be enough?
MR. GANSLER: Your Honor, we do think one day should be enough, as long as it is not in the pretrial detention category.
Notably, the State defined "custody" narrowly to mean custodial interrogation: "But the break in custody for Edwards purposes ought to end at the end of the interrogation." On this theory, it did not matter that Shatzer was incarcerated the entire time between interrogations because correctional custody is different from interrogatorial custody. Justice Sotomayor seemed troubled by this thin distinction.
It seemed to me that the State took a stronger position than the case's facts demanded, perhaps because it sensed that this conservative Court will strike at Miranda and other cases that protect criminal defendants' Fifth Amendment rights:
"In other words, the police don't have to get somebody a lawyer. Whether or not somebody has the opportunity to consult a lawyer or not, as long as they are provided with their Miranda rights, the Miranda rights themselves are the protection that the defendant has."
[**THIS PARAGRAPH HAS BEEN EDITED**] This position strikes me as fairly remarkable. The State actually claimed that the defendant has the burden to get a lawyer in the Fifth Amendment context, even if he is locked down in prison. Although it is true that the State does not need to get the defendant a lawyer in the Fifth Amendment context (before indictment), the State must ensure the defendant has met with a lawyer before it initiates another interrogation.
The United States also argued on behalf of the State of Maryland. The U.S. argued that suppression of the statement here would not fulfill the anti-badgering premise that underlies Edwards. As the advocate said,
"And I think the fact that the Maryland Court of Appeals in this case concluded that two years and seven months is covered by an anti-badgering rule just shows at some point how far this has departed from the original purposes of Edwards in the first place."
Sotomayor indicated that she had a broader view of the Edwards rule than the Government:
"there were two aspects to Edwards. One was the coercion, but the other was the respect for the advisement of counsel. And so the test that you are proposing only addresses the coercion prong of it, not the respect for the invocation of counsel."
The Respondent argued for a strict and robust reading of the Edwards rule. In response to an extreme hypothetical posed by Alito, Shatzer's lawyer said that a Fifth Amendment request for counsel would preclude the police from questioning the defendant 10 years later on another charge altogether. Though this seems like a ridiculous result on its face, Shatzer's lawyer later pointed out that the problem would be alleviated altogether if the State actually provided counsel to the defendant as promised. Quite easily done. Justice Scalia proposed another elegant solution to Alito's damning hypothetical: "What if — what if we limited Edwards to the same crime? That would — that would really make it much easier . . . ." The Respondent agreed that this suggestion would clear up many problems in the current doctrine (this agreement can't prejudice the defendant because such a solution would also protect the defendant's right in this case).
It will be interesting to see how the Court resolves the issues presented here. It seems like there are three main questions that linger after the argument: (1) does a break in custody suffice to negate an Edwards invocation?; (2) will the Court set a specific period of time (for example, seven days) after which an Edwards invocation presumptively expires?; and, (3) will the Court limit the scope of an Edwards invocation to the specific case the police are investigating?
What To Look For in the Coming Term – a Brief Preview of the Supreme Court's Criminal Caseload
Rob and I will provide detailed analyses of many of the criminal cases that the Court is set to hear this term. But, first, here is an overview of what's on the schedule. To this point, the Court has granted certiorari in 19 cases that impact the rights of criminal defendants. Though new themes may emerge as the Court grants more Petitions early in the term, the Court is set to make key decisions in the follow areas of constitutional criminal law and procedure:
Prophylactic Rules to Protect the Suspect's Fifth Amendment Rights: Whittling Away
As last term's decision in Montejo v. Louisiana demonstrates, some members of the Court are openly hostile to "prophylactic" Fifth and Sixth Amendment protections. This term, the Roberts Court may be setting itself up for a future raid on the Warren Court's treasure chest. If so, the death by a thousand cuts starts with two important Fifth Amendment cases that could fundamentally alter the scope of constitutional protection afforded to individuals whom the State decides to interrogate.
- Florida v. Powell – the question presented here is whether, under Miranda, a suspect must be expressly advised of his right to counsel during custodial interrogation. When the police interrogated Powell at the police department, they informed him that he had the right to an attorney "before answering" any questions. The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the district court's ruling that Miranda requires the police to advise a suspect specifically that he can have an attorney present during the interrogation. The Court granted the State's petition for certiorari.
- Maryland v. Shatzer – this case requires the Court to decide whether its decision in Edwards v. Arizona, which prohibits the police from initiating questioning with criminal suspects who have invoked their right to counsel, applies to an interrogation that takes place nearly three years after the invocation. Before Edwards, the police could re-approach suspects who had previously invoked their Miranda rights and asked for an attorney. Noting the immense coercive pressure the State can bring to bear upon suspects, the Supreme Court decided that the police could not re-initiate the interrogation of someone who has asked for a lawyer. In Shatzer, the Court confronts a unique fact pattern, detailed here. The extreme facts give the Court a vehicle to criticize Edwards's wisdom and to limit Miranda's reach.
Eighth Amendment Sentencing: Are Juveniles – Who Cannot Be Executed Under Roper v. Simmons — Also Different in the non-Capital Context?
Two cases present the Court with the question of whether life without parole sentences for juveniles who commit non-homicide crimes are unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment. I wrote about these cases – Graham v. Florida and Sullivan v. Florida – here.
Prosecutorial (Mis)Conduct: What Happens if the Prosecutor Crosses the Line?
The Court has agreed to decide two different cases that touch on what happens when the prosecutor intentionally engages in questionable behavior. These cases emerge from very different postures, but both raise interesting questions:
- Pottawattamie County v. McGhee – this case asks whether a prosecutor can be subjected to a lawsuit for civil damages for wrongful conviction and incarceration where the prosecutor knowingly elicits false testimony during a criminal investigation, and introduces that testimony against the criminal defendant at trial. The outcome will depend on whether the Court views the procurement of false testimony to be a constitutional violation, and whether it finds that the prosecutors enjoy absolute prosecutorial immunity.
- McDaniel v. Brown – the legal question presented is whether the evidence presented at the defendant's trial was insufficient to support the conviction. As SCOTUSblog states here, "[a]t the heart of McDaniel v. Brown is the 'prosecutor's fallacy,' a trial error in which the prosecution equates the probability of the defendant's DNA randomly matching the DNA found at the crime scene with the probability of the defendant's innocence." The Ninth Circuit ruled in the defendant's favor, and the Court granted the State of Nevada's petition for cert. As this Crime & Consequences post explains, the decision may turn on rules about what kind of evidence federal courts can rely upon when reviewing claims in federal postconviction.
The Sixth Amendment Confrontation Clause: Managing the Fallout from Crawford
Last term, in Melendez Diaz v. Massachusetts, an opinion which created a stir among prosecutors, Justice Scalia built upon his landmark Crawford opinion to explain that defendants cannot be denied the right to confront those individuals who create the lab reports in State crime labs. This term, the Court has taken a case that may significantly limit Melendez-Diaz's scope. Briscoe v. Virginia asks the Court whether – if a state allows a prosecutor to introduce a certificate of a forensic laboratory analysis without presenting the testimony of the analyst who prepared the certificate – the state avoids violating a Sixth Amendment Confrontation Clause violation by providing that the accused has a right to call the analyst as his own witness? SCOTUSblog posted a thoughtful analysis of the issue here.

Principal's Update- March 20, 2020
Dear Addison Families,
Hello Addison Families,
After weeks of hard work, our 4th and 5th graders dazzled audiences this past week in the school production of Alice in Wonderland! Every other year, Addison partners with the Palo Alto Children's Theater to host a show. We had to be creative this year to identify a "stage" but through a lot of creative thinking and planning, we were able to use the courtyard for this purpose. The students did a wonderful job and I'm grateful to all the parents who helped support the production. The Kindergarten-5th grade classes have been invited to see Alice in Wonderland on Monday.
Also, we had another successful Addison Auction last weekend. As you can imagine, it takes a tremendous amount of work to host this event so I just want to thank Sharyn Efimoff and Purvi Kapadia for their countless hours and dedication to build community and raise funds for our PTA. The staff members also had a great time and we enjoyed socializing outside of school!
On Friday, our English Language Learner (ELL) Specialist, Amanda Gantley, hosted a meeting for parents of children with a primary language other than English. She reviewed the criteria to qualify as an ELL, the supports and services for ELL's, and the assessments given to assess language process. If you have a child that speaks another language and missed this meeting, please contact Ms. Gantley at email@example.com.
Next week, we will be celebrating Halloween! On Wednesday, Oct. 31, I hope you'll be able to join us for the annual Halloween Breakfast from 7:45-8:15am near the field and play structure. At approximately 8:30am, the Halloween Parade will begin at room 15. The 5th graders will lead the parade as we make our way to the Kindergarten classes. After picking up our last class from room 3, all students will walk out to the field for performances and a costume showcase. There will be a parent viewing area identified with signs and cones on the field so please stay in that area to view the event.
Please keep the hallways and path to the field along the green fence open. Remind your child to leave toy weapons and fake blood at home so all students feel safe on this day. Finally, if your child does not want to participate in the Halloween activities, please email me asap as we have made special arrangements for non-participation. Thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to seeing you next week!
Amanda Boyce

RFID to Protect Intellectual Property
BookFactory is partnering with FileTrail, selling laboratory notebooks fitted with EPC Gen 2 tags to companies that need to track researchers' personal notes.
Jun 04, 2009—Laboratory notebook manufacturer BookFactory is marketing a new RFID-enabled scientific notebook that a company can use to track the books' movements around an office. Scientific notebooks can be of extreme value to pharmaceutical, food or medical firms because employees often record the development of new products, recipes and technologies within them by hand. The data written in the notebooks can be worth millions of dollars to a company that needs to prove it was the first to develop a new drug, flavor or other patentable idea.
BookFactory has teamed with FileTrail, a records-management software and technology firm that will install the RFID interrogator infrastructure and software to manage data regarding the books' movements around an office. BookFactory will sell the books with embedded RFID tags that transmit an ID number to the interrogators.
For the past six years BookFactory has been selling serialized scientific notebooks to companies such as pharmaceutical firms and food manufacturers. Typically, a company assigns serialized paper notebooks to its employees, who then use them to record research results by hand. Because the material written in the books can be highly valuable, intellectual theft or industrial espionage are major concerns. To keep them safe, businesses maintain a watchful eye over the books. Workers can document their findings in the books, which remain the property of the company, never leaving the office.
At any particular time, a company can ask for a book to be returned, then lock it in a vault or copy it onto microfiche. In the case of a legal patent dispute, the firm can then present the book as evidence, which tends to be more convincing in a courtroom than electronic records, which can be manipulated. "No electrical system is foolproof," says Andrew Gilmore, BookFactory's president. A paper trail in a permanently bound book is often much more credible to a judge or jurors. "There's no way to alter that," he says, noting that even the pages are stitched together in such a way that they could not be removed without that action being apparent.
If the notebooks leave the office or end up in the wrong hands, however, the company then has a problem. FileTrail, which provides RFID tracking solutions for files and assets in offices, was approached by some of its customers and asked to find a way to track lab books, and to ensure they do not fall into the wrong hands, according to John Packowski, the company's marketing and public relations director. Attaching an RFID sticker to a notebook itself is not a failsafe solution, he points out, because the tag could be removed.
In January of this year, Gilmore says, FileTrail approached BookFactory seeking a better solution, and the two companies designed the result. FileTrail would provide the RFID tag that BookFactory would embed in its books for customers seeking an RFID solution. FileTrail would also provide the software and reader installation to the company. The two companies announced the new system at the annual Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) meeting, held this week in Anaheim, Calif.
When the books are printed, BookFactory integrates an EPC Gen 2 UHF passive RFID tag into each cover so it cannot be removed. Each tag has a unique ID number encoded onto it. The company then uses an interrogator to read the tag and ensure it is working properly. When a user receives a book, he can scan its tag and input the unique serial number printed on the cover—as well as other data, such as to whom the notebook will be assigned, and any restrictions governing that book's movement, such as which area of the office it is permitted to be in.

Disney World, Florida, is more than a place – it's an experience. It's every kid's dream to meet their favorite movie characters in person, and Disney provides that experience for families every day. We know that, for parents, convincing the kids to leave the park and head back to the hotel can be tough. That's why you need to know about these vacation homes just minutes away from Orlando, where you and your kids can keep the magic going right until lights out. No matter what movie characters your kids are into, we've got their dream home.
Star Wars at Grand Traverse Villa
Disney's Hollywood Studios is host to many Star Wars-themed attractions, including Launch Bay and Path of the Jedi. In just a few years, Disney will raise its Star Wars game even higher, opening a Star Wars-themed land being referred to as Star Wars Land, slated to debut in 2019. When the fun ends at the park, the fun begins at your villa. At Grand Traverse, you can sit down in the comfort of your own vacation home for a private viewing of your favorite Star Wars film in a home theater literally built for such a viewing. Settle into your large, leather bucket seat, place your drink in the cup holder, and prepare for an epic movie marathon on a massive flat screen surrounded by stormtrooper-adorned walls.
Avatar at Palmilla Villa
Avatar is the highest grossing film of all time, so it's no surprise that it has a big presence at Disney World. At Animal Kingdom starting May 27, you'll be able to experience an attraction that's literally out of this world. This 'journey to an all-new land' takes place in the film's fictional, magical state: Pandora – The World of Avatar. It will feature a luminous river journey and native Pandoran food and beverage.

Snow White at Muirfield Villa
Hi ho, Hi ho, it's off to bed we go! Yes, you might actually be able to get the kids excited to go to bed here at Muirfield. First, it's a visit to Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland where the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train takes you through the Enchanted Forest and inside the rocky tunnel before you run into the whistling and singing Seven Dwarfs hard at work. If by the end of it all the kids still aren't tuckered out, they'll be excited to get to their room. A Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs-themed bedroom sleeps ten and is perfect for a siblings' or cousins' sleepover for boys and girls. A twin daybed is designed for two little princesses, while the two bunk beds are made for Sleepy, Sneezy, Doc, and the rest.

On your visit to Disney World, let down your hair and make a walk over to Princess Fairytale Hall in Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland for a magical meeting with Rapunzel, star of the movie Tangled.

At the end of a long day full of fantasies, the beautifully designed pink and purple bedroom at Watson with two princess-worthy beds will put a big smile on your little girls' faces. It's themed around Tangled, complete with a portrait of Rapunzel and her locks on the wall.
Bonus: Drive-In Movie at Loxahatchee Villa
OK so this villa has no Disney tie-in, but we had to throw in one for the adults. Remember summer nights at the old drive-in cinema? Whether a first date or a night out with the family, the drive-in was a staple that has become not much more than nostalgia. Loxahatchee, less than 10 miles from the park, brings that feeling right back with a Drive-In themed home theater room. It'll make you feel like you're back in the '60s, from the kitsch theater sign to the car-shaped loungers and right down to the faux pickup truck where you can snuggle up with that special someone to watch an old favorite – just make sure it's a Disney movie.

Appeals Procedures
The statutory procedures in processing an appeal are provided for in the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005 and/or the Social Welfare (Appeals) Regulations, 1998. References to "Sections" in the following are to provisions of the Act and references to "Articles" are to provisions of the Regulations.
1. Making an Appeal
1.1 Notification of appeal
In the case of a decision made by a Deciding Officer/Designated Person of the Department, any person who is dissatisfied with that decision may, by giving notice of appeal to the Chief Appeals Officer within the statutory time limit, have the question referred to an Appeals Officer for determination (Section 311). The Section is interpreted as applying to persons with a material interest in the decision.
While the statutory notice of appeal is to the Chief Appeals Officer, in practice it may be sent either directly to the Social Welfare Appeals Office or it may be handed in to any office of the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection for transmission to the Office.
A person making an appeal is entitled to know fully the basis on which the initial claim was disallowed.
There is no charge for making an appeal.
1.2 Time for making an appeal
The notice of appeal must be made within 21 days of the notification of the Deciding Officer's decision (Section 311 and Article 9) but notice of appeal made after that period may be accepted with the approval of the Chief Appeals Officer (Article 9).
In exercising discretion under this provision, factors to which the Chief Appeals Officer would have regard would include the reasons for the delay, the length of the delay (the longer the delay the more cogent should be the reason for the delay), the question at issue, the prospects of success and the interests of justice.
1.3 Content of appeal
The notice of appeal must contain a statement of the facts and contentions upon which the appellant intends to rely (Article 9). The statutory procedures require that the notice of appeal be accompanied by whatever documentary evidence the appellant wishes to submit in support of the appeal. In practice, however, documentary evidence submitted subsequent to the notice of appeal will be considered by the Appeals Officer.
1.4 Acknowledgement of appeal
Every notice of appeal received in the Office is acknowledged and a leaflet containing an introductory guide to the appeals system is enclosed with the acknowledgement.
The appeal is recorded on a computerised register of appeals which is then used for monitoring the appeal through the appeals process.
1.5 Withdrawal of appeal
A person may withdraw the appeal at any stage by giving notice in writing to the Chief Appeals Officer (Article 9), but in practice, notice of intention to withdraw an appeal will be accepted by telephone (followed by written confirmation) or personal call. An appeal may be deemed to be withdrawn where the indications are that the appellant is no longer interested in pursuing the appeal and so the appeal has effectively been abandoned.
2. Predetermination Procedures
2.1 Submission by Department
In the case of an appeal against the decision of a Deciding Officer/Designated Person, the Chief Appeals Officer is obliged to notify the Minister of the appeal. The Minister must then furnish to the Chief Appeals Officer a statement, by or on behalf of the Deciding Officer, showing to what extent the facts and contentions advanced in the grounds of appeal are admitted or disputed. Any information, document or item in the power or control of the Deciding Officer that is relevant to the appeal must also be furnished (Article 10).
In fulfilling this statutory requirement, the Department may undertake further investigation of any new facts or evidence arising from the appeal, for instance by a Social Welfare Inspector. In the case of a claim to a sickness or disability related payment, the Department may arrange a further examination by a Medical Assessor.
It is open to the Deciding Officer/Designated Person of the Department at this stage to make a revised decision on the question at issue but only if such a revised decision would be in favour of the appellant (Section 301). Where a revised decision is made at this stage, effect is given to it by the Department and the appeal is thereby resolved.
If a revised decision by the Deciding Officer/Designated Person is not possible, the papers are submitted to the Chief Appeals Officer for referral to an Appeals Officer for determination. An appellant will be advised of any additional evidence adverse to his/her case which arises from such further investigation and will be afforded an opportunity to comment on it.
2.2 Notice to concerned persons
Notice that an appeal has been submitted is issued to any other person who appears to be concerned, i.e. a person with a material interest in the case (Article 11). The calling of witnesses who might be in a position to furnish evidence in relation to the matter to be determined is a function of the Appeals Officer paragraphs 3.3.4 and 3.3.7 below.
2.3 Referral of appeal to Appeals Officer
On receipt of a submission from the Department, the question at issue is referred to an Appeals Officer (Section 257 or 257A) for determination and the appellant is so informed.
2.4 Alternate reference to Courts
The Chief Appeals Officer may, where s/he considers it appropriate, refer the appeal to the High Court for decision. This procedure has not been used to date but it is envisaged that its use would be confined to appeals where complex points of law would be involved (Section 306).
It is, also, open to the Chief Appeals Officer to certify that the ordinary appeals procedures are inadequate to secure the effective processing of an appeal and to direct that the appellant submit the appeal to the Circuit Court for determination (Section 307). In practice this procedure is confined to appeals where special arrangements might need to be made for the anonymity of witnesses at an oral hearing.
3. Appeals Procedures relating to determining appeals
3 1 Request for further information
An Appeals Officer to whom an appeal is referred may request any person concerned to furnish further particulars with respect to the appeal and may allow amendment of the notice of appeal and of any statements made (Article 12).
3.2 Summary procedures or oral hearing
Where the Appeals Officer is of the opinion that the appeal can be determined on the basis of the documentary evidence and without the need for an oral hearing s/he may determine the appeal summarily (Article 13).
Where the Appeals Officer considers that an oral hearing is required to determine the question at issue, s/he will arrange for an oral hearing of the appeal (Article 14).
The circumstances in which an oral hearing is required are not specified in legislation. In Kiely v. Minister for Social Welfare (Supreme Court 1977 l.R. 267) the Court stated that
"An appeal is of such a nature that it can be determined summarily if a determination of the claim can fairly be made on a consideration of the documentary evidence. If, however, there are unresolved conflicts in the documentary evidence, as to any matter essential to a ruling of the claim, the intention of the Regulations is that those conflicts be resolved by an oral hearing".
More recently [Galvin v. the Chief Appeals Officer and the Minister for Social Welfare, High Court 1997 3 l.R 240] the High Court stated
"There are no hard and fast rules to guide an Appeals Officer or, on an application for judicial review, this court, as to when the dictates of fairness require the holding of an oral hearing. The case (like others) must be decided on the circumstances pertaining, the nature of the inquiry being undertaken by the decision-maker, the rules under which the decision-maker is acting and the subject matter with which he is dealing and account should also be taken as to whether an oral hearing was requested."
In practice an Appeals Officer will arrange an oral hearing in cases where there is conflict in the evidence presented by both parties or whenever a hearing is requested to enable the appellant to present his/her case adequately. An oral hearing would also invariably be held where the decision at issue has resulted in an overpayment of social welfare payment repayable by the appellant.
3.3 Venue for oral hearing
In the Dublin and surrounding areas appeals are heard in the Social Welfare Appeals Office in D'Olier House. Outside Dublin, the hearing is arranged at a venue convenient to the appellant.
Timely notices are sent to all parties concerned.
3.4 Attendance at oral hearing
The appellant will ordinarily appear at the oral hearing in person and may be accompanied by a member of his/her family or, with the consent of the Appeals Officer, by any other person.
An appellant may also be professionally represented if s/he so wishes.
Also present at the oral hearing may be the Deciding Officer/Designated Person who made the decision or they may be represented by another officer of the Minister. Any other person whom the Appeals Officer considers should be heard may also attend (Article 15). Every effort is made to keep the hearing as informal as possible.
3.5 Payment of Expenses
If a person has to travel to attend the hearing, the Appeals Officer will arrange reimbursement for reasonable travel and subsistence expenses and compensation for any loss of earnings (Section 316).
The costs of professional representation at an oral hearing are not paid. However, the Appeals Officer may make an award in regard to such representation but only in respect of the representative's actual attendance at the oral hearing (Section 316).
3.6 Format of oral hearing
Oral hearings are held in private and the aim is to keep the proceedings as informal as possible. However, the Appeals Officer may, if s/he thinks it appropriate, take evidence on oath and administer oaths to persons attending as witnesses at the hearing (Section 313).
The Appeals Officer will begin the hearing by introducing him/herself and all other persons present. S/he will also indicate if there are other persons whom it is intended to call to give evidence in the course of the hearing. The Appeals Officer will then outline the Deciding Officer's decision against which the appeal is being made, the grounds of the appeal and the Department's response to these grounds. Evidence will be taken from any witnesses.
At the hearing the appellant is afforded every opportunity to set out his/her case and to question any evidence offered by witnesses. Alternatively, his/her representative, should s/he have one, may do this on his/her behalf.
In a minority of cases the Appeals Officer may be compelled to postpone or adjourn the hearing. This might be necessary if, for example, a crucial witness is not available or some additional evidence requiring further investigation is introduced at the hearing. In other cases the Appeals Officer may agree to defer consideration of the appeal to give the appellant the opportunity of obtaining some further evidence in support of his/her case e.g. a Medical Consultant's report.
3.7 Failure to attend an oral hearing
Where a person fails to attend an oral hearing, the Appeals Officer may take such steps as s/he considers appropriate to determine the appeal (Article 17).
An Appeals Officer may, by giving notice in writing, require a person to attend an oral hearing and to produce any relevant documents. A person failing to comply with such a notice is guilty of an offence and, on summary conviction, may be fined up to €1,500 (Section 314). This provision has been availed of to require witnesses to attend to give evidence on the question being determined.
4. Post-determination appeal procedures
4.1 Decision of Appeals Officer
Following his/her consideration of the appeal, including evidence adduced at the oral hearing, the Appeals Officer will normally be in a position to make a decision within 2/3 weeks of the hearing.
The decision of the Appeals Officer will be in writing and, where the decision is not in favour of the appellant, will include a note on the reasons for the decision (Article 19).
4.2 Notification of decision
A notification of the decision and, in the case of an unfavourable decision the accompanying note of reasons, will be sent to the appellant and any other person concerned (Article 19). The relevant papers are returned to the Department at that stage for any necessary action in relation to the decision.
5.1 Question for consideration
The question before the Appeals Officer for determination is the same question as was before the Deciding Officer/Designated Person who made the initial decision. The Appeals Officer is not confined to the grounds on which the initial decision was based and s/he may consider the question as if it were being determined for the first time (Section 311). In practice, the appeal will be concerned with the grounds for the initial unfavourable decision and an appellant will not be required to defend a possible failure to satisfy some other condition relating to the payment claimed.
5.2 Evidence to be considered
In considering the question at issue, the Appeals Officer will have regard to all relevant evidence including the documentary material. This material may include reports of Departmental Investigating Officers and, where appropriate, Medical Assessors, the grounds of appeal including any documentation submitted with it and the submission by or on behalf of the officer who made the decision. Other documentary evidence could consist of correspondence from an employer as to the occurrence of an occupational accident or in regard to how a person's employment terminated. As well as that, the Appeals Officer will also have regard to any facts emerging from the presentation of evidence at the oral hearing.
5.3 Application of legislation
The conditions underlying entitlement to benefit are contained in provisions of social welfare legislation [the Social Welfare Acts and Regulations made thereunder] and the Appeals Officer must apply this legislation to his/her findings of the facts in determining the question under appeal. Some issues may involve the application of other legislation or case law - such as whether a divorce might be recognised as valid or whether the conditions of an employment are as an employee or self-employed person.
Case law used consists of Irish Courts judgements and of decisions by other courts acknowledged in Irish courts judgements.
5.4 Statutory interpretations
Some appeals may involve issues which had not hitherto arisen and the decisions of Appeals Officers in those cases may provide guidance were the same issues to arise again, subject, of course, to the merits of individual cases.
The (published) annual report of the Chief Appeals Officer to the Minister contains summaries of cases determined by Appeals Officers, which the Chief Appeals Officer considers would be helpful in construing particular aspects of legislation or in making findings of facts based on particular circumstances.
6.1 Revision by an Appeals Officer or by Chief Appeals Officer
A decision of an Appeals Officer may be revised by an Appeals Officer in the light of new facts or new evidence brought to attention or if there has been a relevant change of circumstances since the decision was given (Section 317).
A decision of an Appeals Officer may also be revised by the Chief Appeals Officer if it appears to her/him that the decision was erroneous by reason of a mistake as to the facts or the law (Section 318).
In either case, the person concerned should submit a written statement of the grounds on which a review of the decision is sought. In all procedures, principles of natural justice are fully adhered to and, if such a review would have a material interest for some other person concerned, such other person would have to be afforded an opportunity to comment.
6.2 Review by Courts
The decision of an Appeals Officer is in general final and conclusive (Section 320), subject to appeal to the High Court on a point of law or review as described above.
It is also open to any appellant to seek a judicial review of a decision in the Courts if s/he feels that a decision is deficient for want of fairness of procedure. The courts, however, will not generally disturb a decision unless it is "plainly and unambiguously flying in the face of fundamental reason and common sense", the criterion laid down by the Supreme Court in The State (Keegan) v. Stardust Compensation Tribunal 1986 l.R. 642 as the test by which the reasonableness of decisions of tribunals are judged.
In 1995 in the context of consideration of a decision of an Appeals Officer which was the subject of an appeal to the High Court, that Court, in upholding the decision of the Appeals Officer, stated -
"The decision reached depends on the importance which the Appeals Officer attached to some facts. This was a balancing operation which is essentially a matter of degree and his conclusions should not be disturbed unless they are such that no reasonable person could draw them. In my opinion the Appellants have not shown that the conclusions drawn by the Appeals Officer are ones which no reasonable person could draw and neither have they shown that they were based on a mistaken view of the law."
In an appeal against that judgement, the Supreme Court (Hamilton, CJ) in upholding the decision stated that
"..it would be desirable to take this opportunity of expressing the view that the Courts should be slow to interfere with the decisions of expert administrative tribunals. Where conclusions are based on an identifiable error of law or an unsustainable finding of fact by a tribunal such conclusions must be corrected. Otherwise it should be recognised that tribunals which have been given statutory tasks to perform and exercise their functions, as is now usually the case with a high degree of expertise and provide coherent and balanced judgements on the evidence and arguments heard by them it should not be necessary for the courts to review their decisions by way of appeal or judicial review."

My sensitive heart always gets the best of me. I'm quietly crying at my desk at work. Wondering why I let people affect me so much? Why do I always expect a positive reaction when I'm so used to the negative? Isn't doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result the definition of insanity? I'm not insane. I'm just too caring.
A few days ago, my sister had her baby. Initially, I was upset that the news came through my Mom, but I gave her a break. She's a brand new mom! She deserves it! She's probably too wrapped up in her bundle of joy to have time to message everyone.
As days past, I heard she was connecting with other friends and relatives, but my husband and I still hadn't heard from her or her fiancé. I thought for sure once she received our gift that we would hear something.
We mailed a gift the day my nephew was born. We had it bought for months now. I slowly purchased things as I found them. My last addition was the book, "On the Night You Were Born", by Nancy Tillman – a book I think every child should own.
I tracked the parcel. She received it yesterday. We never heard a thing.
I honestly thought pushing a human miracle out of her vagina would change her. I thought she would magically fill with light and love as she laid her eyes on her child for the first time. I thought this love and light would extend to the rest of her family because she would want her child to be a part of their lives. I was willing to forgive everything she had said and done to me over the past year – heck, over our entire lives – if it meant that our family could be closer again.
Clearly, I was super fucking wrong.
I guess childbirth doesn't change everyone. Some people are unable to offer compassion, understanding and love to the world. Some people are too self-absorbed to ever step outside of their manipulative, narcissist bubble.
Today, my brother's wife told me that my sister mentioned she received our gift. She is mad that my parents gave us her address.
I'm done crying now. I'm also done trying.
My happiness is too important to let her misery continuously inflict pain onto me. I may never know my nephew, but that choice was made by his mother.

Public service workers from across the country gather at the Senedd today at 12.30pm to tell politicians that local services are under such severe strain their future is threatened. Members of UNISON will make the case for fair funding for Wales and investment in the quality public services our communities deserve. The union's mass lobby comes ahead of the Welsh Government's announcement of its draft budget proposals later in the afternoon.
Margaret Thomas, UNISON Regional Secretary said,
"UNISON members work supporting children in your local school, care for sick, elderly and vulnerable members of your family and provide your essential council services. They know public services have been so badly damaged by Tory spending cuts that we have reached a crisis point. It is only thanks to the workforce of public service champions that they are still functioning.
"We welcome the Welsh Government's commitment to additional funding for public services. We are keen to learn more detail and to be involved in the discussions about how all our public services can be properly funded. Quality services would reduce inequality and help create the healthier, fairer and better Wales we want to live in."
UNISON is encouraging members of the public to support its campaign to protect local services and they are invited to the Senedd lobby. The trade union has also created an e-petition on the Welsh government website, local government and financing.

We believe that true JOY is found through unveiling the essence of your individual spirit, which encourages the personality to bring forth what the soul has come here to express and experience. Through this process you will begin uniting with the universal source of divine consciousness, which brings you to a life of joy.
J.O.Y is the journey of you.
What is the Joy Experience?
We believe that joy is found by unveiling the essence of your individual soul and spirit and to bring forth what the soul has come here to learn, express and experience. Once you discover your inner truth you start to discover the joy in life. You learn to celebrate you and the world around you. You have put on a new set of glasses.
I wrote the book The Call Of The Day to share with you these truths and how I got there through much turmoil in my life. It was also written to share with you how imperative it is right now to find your truth, be it and live it. To be very clear on how you want to see your world and your planet. It is up to us individually and collectively to shape our future. The book and workbook helps you to learn how to stay clear and grounded as much as possible.
So to start the journey we start by looking within to find our personal truth and understanding.
To start the process of finding your truth – do an Intuitive Reading by me.
How this works:
Visit #1 – An initial meeting
(Free initial consultation – by phone or in person)
We can discuss what you are looking for and where you are on your spiritual path. No worries, you can be a beginner just exploring or you may want to get to work and discover the true you. I will get your full name at birth and birthday before you go so I can put together an intuitive reading for your next visit.
- Visit #2 – Do reading and discuss options
We do an Intuitive Reading, which will also provide you with your overall make-up what you excel at and what your path is or has been. It also will provide you with your individual musical notes of your name, your colors, crystals to use and aromatherapy. My Recommendations.
We will decide if this is all you were looking for or you wish to move forward with the work. My work is an integrated program that combines energy work and personal counseling.
You will receive my book and workbook if you are going to continue on with spiritual counseling. Spiritual counseling is me guiding you and providing books and tools to help you on your path.
It is a safe space for you to come and talk, learn and to heal. We will incorporate Sound and Color Healing as well. The energy work after the counseling is an important piece of clearing, letting go, and grounding you in.
You may want to do just Sound and Color healing work to balance your chakras or other methods of sound healing. This is fine.
- Visit #3 – Your Plan
You will get a JOY toolbox, recommendation, and price sheet. You decide which things you want to have in there. It would have Sound bowl or bowls, possible tuning forks, aromatherapy, crystal stones to work with, affirmations and so on. You can buy as little or as much as you want to spend at a time. You may only want one thing or all things. It's up to you. The JOY Website has products for you as well to chose from.
- We will decide as we go as to what you need the next session to be.
- On completion of this body of work you will have begun your true-life journey.
When you are doing counseling and sound work together, you will get the discount of $150.00 per session. It's usually $100.00 per service.

Julie Wallace first noticed something was wrong with her son Jacob, when he was just three years old. For the next two years Jacob's condition continued to worsen. Through a series of tests, doctors determined Jacob would need a kidney transplant at just five years old. Julie made the decision early on that if she donated her own kidney, she would not be able to care for her son post-transplant. Jacob began dialysis while he was waiting for a healthy kidney. That call came just three months after he was listed for a transplant. Julie recalls the transplant process to be quick, yet scary. But she was up for the post-transplant care her young son needed.
"I would just say that as a mom, the biggest fear in life is not being able to help your child," said Julie. "Ultimately, another mom lost her adult child and although this is beyond my comprehension, she and the family selflessly donated her child's organs---so that many others could have a chance at life. I am so grateful for that family and although Jacob eventually lost that kidney and needed another at 16, I still think about that family and pray for them daily. If they had not done what they did, my son wouldn't be here today."
Jacob's donated kidney lasted about 10 years, before he began getting sick. His transplant team had been monitoring his health and now believed he would need another kidney transplant within the next year. Jacob had very low energy, felt sick most of the time and found everyday tasks like going to school very difficult. This time around, Julie knew she would be Jacob's living donor and do whatever he needed to help.
"I was already so close to Jacob, he's been sick since he was 3 so we've spent a lot of time together," said Julie. "I didn't think we could get any closer. I have been able to say I gave him life twice, although truthfully him being healthy and growing up is the biggest gift I have ever been given as a mother."
This time around, Jacob was healthier, older and more responsible. He was able to take charge of his own care. The recovery process was quicker because he was in much better health than during his first transplant at just five years old. Their family was already familiar with the recovery process. The doctors went to work prolonging Jacobs's health, planning carefully and giving him the care he needed. This time Julie was able to prepare herself as well as Jacob, for the surgery ahead. The surgery went well, both Julie and Jacob made a great recovery and the kidney is functioning!
Jacob, now 19, said he feels completely normal. He is currently attending Montreat College. He is a vibrant teen who knows the meaning of sacrifice, determination and perseverance.
All Jacob could think to say when overwhelmed by telling his story was, "Yeah, my mom is amazing."

On Feb. 20, Canada's highest court granted the private evangelical Christian university leave to appeal the Ontario Court of Appeal's ruling that sided with the Law Society of Upper Canada's decision to refuse accreditation to graduates of Trinity Western's proposed law school.
Though the Ontario Court of Appeal recognized the Law Society's decision infringed Trinity Western's religious freedom, it said the infringement was reasonable in light of the Society's statutory obligations to protect the public interest.
"This will be the biggest religious freedom case of definitely the decade and possibly of the next half century," said constitutional lawyer André Schutten, the Association for Reformed Political Action (ARPA) Canada's legal counsel and director of law and policy.
At issue is Trinity Western's community covenant that all faculty and students must sign. Among the covenant's requirements is a promise to refrain from all sexual activity outside of traditional marriage.
"This goes beyond just the individual right to religious freedom, to now talking about the right for an institution, for a community of believers together to be able to identify, to associate and to profess a particular belief about a deeply held conviction about their religion, in this case about marriage and sexuality in particular," Schutten said.
"We are pleased that leave was granted in this case so it can proceed to be heard at the Supreme Court of Canada," said Bob Kuhn, President of Trinity Western University, in a Feb. 23 release.
"We believe that the Court will protect the TWU religious community, based on last year's ruling of the British Columbia Court of Appeal and the 2001 Supreme Court of Canada decision involving Trinity Western University's School of Education."
The Supreme Court also granted leave to appeal the British Columbia Court of Appeal decision that ruled against the Law Society of British Columbia's refusal to accredit future students. The Court will hear these two appeals simultaneously.
The university's covenant prompted the B.C. College of Teachers to block accreditation of graduates of Trinity Western's teachers college on grounds the community covenant is discriminatory against the LGBT community. That case was fought all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled in TWU's favour in an 8-1 decision in 2001.
"Basically what the state has said, even though we fully admit you are completely competent, we are going to say because of your religious beliefs we will not recognize your credentials," Schutten said. "That to me is a very scary proposition and I hope that it will be roundly and soundly defeated at the Supreme Court of Canada."
