Belize weather will be affected some by Tropical Storm Harvey. According to Weather Underground it looks like Harvey is not going to do much more than keep San Pedro windy and wet. After this morning's 6:00am downpour we have not even had that much rain, lots of grey skies though.
I will not bore you with more bikini shots today so here are a few Belize City sign pictures. I have always appreciated the fact that hand painted signs are still so common in Belize.

Money isn't everything, but you're going to have bills after graduation—including those for any student loans.
Not all college degrees are created equal. There might have been a time when going to college, no matter the degree, was enough to land you a stable career. Those were also the days when a high school diploma and 40 hours a week were enough to buy a house and support a family of five.
Since then, wages have stagnated and career fields have become much more specialized. Finding a career that isn't within your degree field may be difficult. If you're planning to go to college, consider the long-term earning potential of your degree.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has a comprehensive list of careers and then breaks down:
You want to look for a career field that has a decent pay-to-education-level ratio, but also one that has job openings. A career requiring a masters-level degree that pays $30,000 a year on average is going to be a long-term struggle. On the inverse, a high-paying field with extremely low employment might also not be the best option (think professional athlete).
What are some of the toughest degrees to match with a strong salary?
Broadcasting – Radio and TV have changed drastically in the past few years. TV personalities and radio hosts average around $32,000 a year. On top of that, more and more stations are turning to robotic systems with canned material. That means jobs are going away.
Teacher – It is truly a career of passion. The hours are rough, with work often following you home during the year. The pay can be spotty, sometimes only coming in during the school year. Average pay is just shy of $40,000 a year. With an average of 2,200 hours a year, that's about $18 an hour, and that is done in nine or ten months.
Religion – Unless you really feel drawn to ministry, studying religion is going to be a struggle post-graduation. Non-leadership roles average less than $30,000 per year while leadership is just over $40,000 a year. The job market growth is about average, and since these degrees usually require a specialized school, everyone you went to school with is competing for the same spots.
This isn't to say don't pursue these degrees and careers. Obviously, the world needs teachers; it's a shame they aren't paid better. Be smart about how much you invest in your education with the understanding that you won't be rolling in cash after graduation.
Now, if you want to make money, no matter your passion for the field or not, here are your best degree options and careers.
Engineering – Basically, any degree that is associated with engineering is going to pay well, $80,000–$140,000 depending on your specialization. And that is without having to go for a masters. Growth is average for most fields of engineering.
Doctor and physician – Yes, doctors make a good amount of money—over $200,000 depending on your specialty. But you will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to get there. Job growth is above average, so the chances of you landing a job and paying back all that debt is good.
IT and computer science – Tech is huge, and it's not going anywhere. Salary is $115,000–$142,000, depending on where exactly you go in the field. The demand for people who can code and understand complex computer systems keeps growing, between 11% and 14% year over year. As more and more of the world is digitized, the demand keeps growing. And, if you are an innovator, there is a chance you could become the next tech billionaire. But stick to your schooling and focus on your work, chances of being a billionaire are slim.
If you want to learn more, the Bureau of Labor Statistics keeps the Occupational Outlook Handbook updated on a regular basis. You can search for the career field you're looking at to learn more about what is going on in your field of study. You shouldn't base your whole career on how much you stand to make, but it should be taken into consideration.

Procrastination is a force. It can stop you in your tracks when you're trying to build your practice.
Even if you're extremely passionate about wanting a full-time practice and dedicated to your mission of helping people, procrastination might be lurking over your shoulder whispering all kinds of distractions in your ears.
No one is truly immune to it.
You might find yourself scanning the internet instead of calling new referral sources.
Or maybe your flavor is watching lots of tv instead of participating in social media marketing.
All too common, are therapists that find themselves stuck in other jobs, leaving no time to market their practice. Believe it or not this can be a form of procrastination.
Procrastination comes in countless forms and is often one of the most difficult roadblocks to creating a practice in a reasonable time frame.
It's also sneaky.
Your procrastinating mind will play many tricks on you. Often you think you are focused on tasks that are productive and efficient, but in reality your mind is finding ways to do anything but be productive and efficient.
An example of this is when you are spending hours a week on researching new trainings you are interested in, which detracts from spending those on hours on getting new clients.
Sure, increasing your level of mastery is very important as a therapist, but all too often therapists bury themselves in training after training, because they are procrastinating from doing more seemingly mundane tasks of growing their practice.
So, how do you overcome procrastination so you become a force to grow your business, meet your goals and help tons of people?
Follow these 3 steps to ward off the procrastination monster before it rears it's ugly head.
1. Make a list of all of your procrastination behaviors
Think big here. Put any behavior in your life that feels like a distraction. Don't worry if it shows up in growing your practice or not.
Usually, many procrastination behaviors go unnoticed even though they are playing out in your business. Get very specific. If you distract yourself with watching tv, write down how often, how long, and what you watch. The more specific you get the easier it will be to identify these behaviors later.
2. Identify when you are procrastinating instead of working
This may sound simple in practice, but it's often difficult at first to execute.
During your "work day" when you are wanting to build your practice, refer to your list of procrastination behaviors every couple of hours. Check off the distractions that you spent a lot of energy into instead of focusing on building your business.
I'm not referring to behaviors during needed breaks during the day. It's important to take these breaks at regular intervals. I'm referring to the rest of the day when you are wanting to focus on your practice.
3. Create your urgency mantra
If you're wanting to grow a private practice and haven't reached your goals, you likely have a longing inside of you. That longing comes from a place of deep desire to manifest your vision.
However, if you haven't been fully able to manifest that vision there is likely a procrastination roadblock. In order to overcome the procrastination roadblock without making your life more complicated than it already is, you can use an urgency mantra.
An urgency mantra is basically a statement or question you can ask yourself as you get to know your procrastination behaviors more intimately.
A great example of an urgency mantra is to ask yourself the question, "AM I really willing to forgo my life vision by reading the news on the internet instead of marketing my practice?"
Notice how powerful that question is. Is you take a question like that very seriously you back yourself into a corner to make a choice. Either your going to keep procrastinating or you are going to choose to do it differently.
Whenever you catch yourself in a distracting behavior back yourself into a corner with an urgency mantra. Then it's completely up to you to make a new choice.
If building your practice is truly your highest priority and absolutely urgent you will find that nothing can stand in your way and new possibilities will come every day.

I took a dive into the mindset of Conservative party members and revealed how utterly the Brexit process has subverted traditional loyalties and reshaped political priorities.
The most striking finding was that Tory members would rather see the UK break up, the economy badly damaged and the Conservative party itself destroyed rather than let Brexit slip through their fingers.
The findings dominated political news and the thrust the potential break-up of the Union as an issue into the Conservative leadership contest, with both candidates having to respond to the findings.

No More Tolerance Of SUBVERSION – REGAIN CONTROL NOW Or Lose It For Good
The White House is experiencing what happens when you don't respond forcefully to a threat and nip it in the bud. When you try to play nice with the swamp vermin of the Democrat Party you give them life, you give them energy, and you create a monster that has to be taken down. The Trump administration now realizes they've got a monster on their hands. They'd better have also realized they're going to have to fight.
The monster has many forms and tentacles, which we are all familiar with – Democrats, establishment Republicans, the deep state, the intelligence committees, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and many more. An example of the public face of the coup is the treasonous carnival side show freak playing Congressman, Adam Schiff. He and his Democrats have successfully turned the supposed bi-partisan Russia "perpetual investigation into nothing" into a Democrat hit squad. It's what we saw coming when they engineered, with the cooperation of an all too-willing Paul Ryan, the exit of Devin Nunes as chairman. Just how long does a fake ethics investigation take, Ryan? About as long as a fake Russia investigation?
Schiff imagines himself the bobble-head for every purpose, sounding like a budget WebMd trained psychiatrist as he analyzes the behavior of Attorney General Sessions in the Blitzer interview, a regular Sigmund Freud. How do you feel about your mother, Schiff? Do you resent your father for using your head as a footstool when you were a child? Are you now taking those aggressions out on the normal people, those Republicans you resent? Did they bully you, call you Stewie Griffin when you were a child?
Schiff talks like it was the House Committee that Attorney General Sessions was testifying before as he expresses his dissatisfaction the testimony. What the heck. Democrats are all one big angry, unattractive, diverse family and witch hunts are family entertainment. It's the treasonous bond that unites them.
He tells comrade Wolfie that it's improper for a President to talk to the FBI Director about a pending case, and the "fact that the director was uncomfortable" around Sessions or the President is somehow evidence to this ass clown. They should have offered Comey a pipe and his slippers, rubbed his shoulders for him or, maybe had one of the Secret Service houseboys fluff up a pillow for him to put in his chair.
President Trump Can't Pretend He Can Avoid This Fight – It's Here Now
The attacks on our President have gotten completely out of control. The longer the White House allows these criminal insurgents to commit treason in the form of the combined open and covert insurgencies, the more damage will be done and the more difficult it will be to eliminate them. There must be consequences for their actions. There is no pretending they can simply avoid the problem any longer. That path leads to Nixonville and a successful coup by the Democrats based upon a total fabrication. We Americans aren't willing to accept that and our President damn well better not be either.
Act now to put a stop to it, President Trump. Call both of the swamp leadership snakes, McConnell and Ryan, in for a heart to heart talk, along with your allies and demand their support. Get the rogue committees under control and end the investigations. Go on national television and tell the American people the names of those who refuse to cooperate, we'll take care of them when they come home for their August recess.
Next, order, publicly or privately, the Attorney General to initiate an investigation into the collusion between Lynch and Clinton and whatever culpability James Comey may have. Perhaps you want to make him a witness with immunity, your AG knows best. Just do it and do it now.
Order Rosenstein To Fire Mueller – It's a Sham with a Conflict of Interest
And for crying out loud, Mr. President, order Rosenstein to put an end to this suicidal special prosecutor nonsense immediately. If he says no, can him too. You've got all the evidence for a personal conflict of interest that is needed. Act on it.
The subversive BS artist says that Congress cannot let the non-answers stand about whether or not the letters to the President were a pretext for the firing of James Comey. Why? What criminal offense has been committed even if they did write the letters as a pretext? Does the President now work for Adam Schiff, a nobody Congressman from California? Is it the job of the President to satisfy his curiosity? Did Schiff declare the Constitutional separation of powers to no longer be in effect? Who is this POS to be making demands of our President? Does anybody give a rip what this POS declares or thinks? Throw him in prison while he awaits his trail for treason, let him tell us what he thinks then.
This punk's empty threats, his smug arrogance and his fabricated claims, along with the Fake News CNN propagandists and others, are creating the impression that President Trump has done something wrong when he hasn't, that he's unfit for office when he's the best we could hope for. President Trump does not report to Congress, his is a separate and co-equal branch of government. McConnell and Ryan need to be reminded of that.
This dangerous tolerance of subversives within the government by the Trump administration has to stop. They need to stand up, stand strong and put a stop to this insurrection. Now is the time for action. Call a news conference, be a leader, act Presidential and put a stop to this before it destroys our last chance at peacefully regaining control of our nation.
It's your war, Mr. President, but we citizens and our children are the ones who will suffer if you lose it. We voted you into office and we still stand with you, if you will only stand up for yourself – and for us.

Grains of sleet are captured in an evergreen bush.
this, that, and the other
Grains of sleet are captured in an evergreen bush.
These leaves added colour and cheer to a dull, grey, damp, chill stroll.
You can see right through this snag.
Sunset blazed a path through the bush at the treehouse. It was good to spend time in the real world of trees, wind, sun, stars instead of the unreal world of bits and bytes.
Back on Thursday.
The different colours and textures of a wheat field in morning sun, and a bush in shadow, contrast wonderfully.
Field and bush await spring's bustling, almost hectic renewal. For now, they slumber through late winter quiet time.
I will return on Thursday. Blessings to you.
The Maple Leaf justifiably stands out.

Tauzin to deliver DTV bill
House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Billy Tauzin (R-La.) plans to
introduce a comprehensive digital-television bill after Congress returns from
Easter break at the end of this month, spokesman Ken Johnson said at the National Association of Broadcasters' convention in
Las Vegas Sunday.
Tauzin believes TV-set manufacturers ought to build affordable sets that will
both receive and pass through digital-TV signals, whether they are delivered
over-the-air or by cable, although set makers do not appear to be on that path
thus far.
Last August, the Federal Communications Commission implemented a rule that
requires set makers to include tuners in sets.
Cable operators and set makers also have agreed to build sets that will pass
through digital-cable signals without set-top boxes.
But consumers have yet to receive sets with either technology included, and
that concerns Tauzin, as well as broadcasters, House Energy and Commerce
counsel Jessica Wallace said.
Tauzin also wants to implement as quickly as possible a broadcast-flag
technology that will copy-protect digital content so studios will begin rolling
out high-end digital content over broadcast television.
"Chairman Tauzin wants to ensure that consumers are seeing new and exciting
content," Wallace said. "If content is not protected, the studios might migrate
their content to a closed distribution system."
Members of Congress and congressional staff all appeared stumped over how to
handle the issue of whether cable operators should be required to carry
multicast digital-broadcast signals.
"Broadcasters will make a better case for themselves when they develop more
solid multicast business plans," Wallace said.

In 1896, Charles T. Bisch, a local funeral director and carpet store owner, started the Charles T. Bisch Funeral Service on 6th Street, north of Washington Street, in Springfield, IL. As the business grew, he established a funeral home in the Lincoln Home area at 8th and Capital Streets, where he worked with his son, H.P. Bisch. In 1950, H.P. Bisch, his son Phil Bisch III and Charles T. Bisch opened the newly constructed Bisch and Son Funeral Home at our present location at 505 East Allen Street. Thus began Springfield's first dedicated funeral home.
Our funeral home has two large chapels, beautiful archways and eclectic décor including furnishings purchased by Charles T. Bisch during the Chicago World's Fair in the early 1900s. In 1982, a crematory was added to the location as the requests for cremation became more frequent. This addition was one of the first in Springfield, providing seamless professional care to those families requesting cremation. In 1995, a second funeral home was constructed on Springfield's growing west side. This location offers single-level access, one formal chapel and one large great room that can be customized into three separate chapels. The funeral home is appointed with custom woodwork throughout.
In 1997, Phil's sons Derek and Phillip Bisch IV, representing the fifth generation of the Bisch family, joined the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral and cemetery professionals. With the extended resources of the network, our strong commitment and service to all families of Springfield and the surrounding area continues to this day.

As regular readers may know, I am a guide with Edmonton Food Tours, which leads culinary walking tours of the City Market and the Old Strathcona Farmers' Market.
Now, the company (part of Alberta Food Tours and owned by Calgary's Karen Anderson) has expanded its offerings in Edmonton to include a walking tour of five of Edmonton's best downtown restaurants — The Marc, Bar Bricco, Alta, Woodwork and the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald.

Edmonton Food Tours launches Downtown Delights walking tour Back to video
The tour, called Downtown Delights, runs every Friday from 3:30 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. Local cookbook author and professional home economist Deb Anzinger leads the tour, which includes not only great cocktails and nibbles, but also highlights of Edmonton's downtown history and architecture. The nibbles may change, depending on chef's fancy, but the quality is always high, with a variety of sweet and savoury options. Beverages are also varied, from Alberta craft beers on the patio at the Mac to inspired cocktails shaken and stirred by some of the city's best bartenders.
I took the tour last week and found it a great way to sample some of the city's best nibbles, and enjoy some experimental cocktails, without a large investment of time or money. Guests learn insider tips on the restaurants, meet some award-winning chefs, and spend time in the company of other adventurous, food-loving folk. The tour is $115 and open to anyone 14 and older (non-alcoholic beverage pairings are offered for those under age). For further information and to book a ticket, visit edmontonfoodtours.com.

Removing calluses can be a mess-free, quick process with the PediVac, a callus remover that uses an emery pad that spins at 2,000 RPM and an internal vacuum to make skin removal easy and clean.
PediVac Review
PediVac is a hand-held foot file that uses a high-RPM motor and a vibrating emery pad to quickly remove calluses and dry skin.
The site claims their foot file is the first of its kind to grind and vacuum in shaved skin cells without leaving any mess.
The company behind the PediVac is Telebrands, whose business model focuses on As Seen on TV products like Atomic Beam flashlights, Red Copper cookware, and the Brass Bullet hose.
In this review, we'll give you our analysis of how this product works, how it compares to other forms of foot filing, what it costs and how it compares to callus removers you can find on Amazon.
How the PediVac Works
To get an idea of how this machine works, we read through the instruction manual that comes with the product. Basically, your PediVac has a cover over the emery pad that you'll need to remove. Once the cover is off, push the power button for two seconds.
The device has two speed settings: low and high. When you turn on your PediVac, it will automatically run at low speed. Press the power button once to switch to high speed. You'll know you've made the switch to high-speed when the LED light on the power button changes from green (low speed) to red.
At high speed, the PediVac's emery pad spins at 2,000 revolutions per minute which is what makes it efficient at removing calluses.
The instructions say that, to remove a callus, you'll want to "gently press the emery pad to the thickest area of dead skin you want to remove," them slowly move the emery pad out toward the healthy skin. Press and hold the power button to turn off the device.
Clean-up, according to the instructions, takes a few steps.
You'll want to remove the emery pad and run warm water over it. Air dry the pad before using it again.
To empty the collection chamber, you'll want to hold the device in your dominant hand and then twist the top of the PediVac counter-clockwise.
From there, the directions say to "slowly remove (the) circular sponge filter from (the) chamber," the instructions say.
You'll want to rinse the filter with warm water and let it air dry. This is a bit of a different process than what's advertised in the product's commercial. The commercial shows someone just tapping the side of the PediVac on a trash can and all the skin falls out.
According to the instructions, you'll want to air dry the filter. You can use it up to 100 times before getting a replacement.
The final step to cleaning your PediVac is to use a small brush (included with the device) to brush out the interior of the collecting chamber.
Other Alternatives for Removing Calluses and Dry Skin
Before the advent of devices like PediVac, the popular ways of removing calluses were emery pads and various metal devices you'd rub against your feet like a cheese grater.
The downside to these devices was manifold. First, it takes a lot of time to grind down a callus with an emery pad. Rather than letting the device itself do the work, you have to provide the pressure in order to grind down the tough skin.
On top of that, keeping a clean working area while you're doing this is almost impossible, as your filed skin tends to get all over the carpet or floor.
As far as metal devices go, there's a real risk of injury, as missing running the sharpened surface over soft, healthy skin could cause some real pain.
As we'll point out in the pricing section, the investment is minimal enough to where the price difference is well worth the control you have and the ability to avoid any injuries or mess.
PediVac Pricing and Return Policy
At the time of publishing, you could buy one PediVac along with a replacement emery pad for $19.99 plus $7.99 for shipping. You could add a second PediVac along with a tube of a foot cream known as "Miracle Foot Repair" for an additional $19.99 without any extra shipping fees.
You also have the option of upgrading to their "Deluxe" package, in which you get a dark gray PediVac and 10 extra emery pads. The gray PediVacs have a three-year warranty, too. Basically, you're paying an extra $20 to get nine extra emery pads per device as well as a dark gray color instead of the standard white and blue.
As a side note, the site was offering a PediVac with rechargeable batteries as a free upgrade.
According to the fine print, you can return your PediVac anytime within the first 30 days of having it. To do so, you'll need to send the following information, Telebrands says:
- Order number
- Name, address and phone number/email address
- An explanation for the return
- Indication noting your request for a return or a refund
PediVac Versus Similar Products on Amazon
We believe that comparison is an integral part of a purchasing decision. Knowing how much other similar items cost will give the PediVac some better context. Here's a quick list of three of the top-rated callus removers on Amazon:
- Emjoi Micro-Pedi Nano Callus Remover: $24.95, 4.6 stars from more than 1,000 reviews
- 1790 Electric Foot File & Callus Remover: $14.92, 4.6 stars from more than 1,000 reviews
- MicroPure Electric Rechargeable Pedicure Foot File: $26.99, 4.5 stars from 350 reviews
The big difference between these three products and the PediVac is that none of them have a vacuum mechanism to suck up the dead skin before it hits the ground. Furthermore, only one of the three is rechargeable.
So, in terms of value and clean-up, we think that the PediVac actually performs pretty well against the top-ranked devices on Amazon.
What makes the comparison more interesting, though, is that PediVac's phone message says it could take two to four weeks to ship to your home, whereas callus removers on Amazon can ship in as few as two days.
The Final Word: Our Thoughts on the Strengths and Weaknesses of the PediVac
Based on our analysis of this product, we believe its greatest strength is that it has a vacuum that sucks up all the dry skin.
However, we'd like to point out that we've reviewed another product similar to this that features a vacuum: the Personal Pedi Air. Both products spin at 2,000 RPM and come with a replacement pad. The Personal Pedi Air ships for free, which saves you $7.95 compared to the PediVac.
That being said, the vacuum feature is really helpful whether you choose the PediVac or not. It's the main advantage you get over the callus removers we found on Amazon.
The main drawback is something we haven't mentioned yet. Nowhere on the product's website does it tell you how to get replacement pads for the PediVac. We tried calling the customer service line three different times to get an answer but could not reach a representative any of those three times.
With this in mind, we'd say approach the PediVac with caution. While the device might work well for you, it's hard to say what will happen when you need to replace the emery pad.
Because of that, we'd suggest including other callus removers in your research, particularly ones for which it's easy to find replacement emery pads.
I have had such terribly dry ugly feet that I won't even go GET a pedicure because I don't want anyone to see them. The calluses are thick and hard and crack often which is painful. With this PediVac, I see feet I haven't seen in 35 years! Can't wait to get sandals.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

At present Oracle Labs is offering him around 120k base and 150k in stocks while FB is offering him around 135k in base and 110k in stocks.
How much does Adobe pay for Software Developer New Grad position? If you have competing offers which are paying the above mentioned salaries, will Adobe be open for negotiations? If so, how much base salary can he ask Adobe? Currently if Adobe is paying less in stocks as seen by glassdoor, he is planning to ask for 145k base so that Adobe will offer 140k (If the stocks they provide are less than 100k). Is that feasible? Could you please provide the ideal pay to ask Adobe based on his current offers?

Funding and regulatory obstacles frustrating delivery of social and affordable housing
The Housing Alliance, a collaboration of six of Ireland's largest Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) launched its new campaign, 'More Social and Affordable Homes', and met with members of the Oireachtas at an event in Dublin this week.
AHBs are not-for-profit organisations that have a social purpose to provide for people's housing needs by working in close co-operation with the Government, local authorities and relevant agencies.
Commenting on the campaign, Declan Dunne, Chair of the Housing Alliance, said, "The current shortage of social and affordable housing in Ireland is one of the most acute problems facing our society. Members of the Housing Alliance can deliver more homes, at scale, to help the State meet its social and affordable housing commitments – delivering homes for individuals and families who urgently need them. However, funding and regulatory obstacles are frustrating delivery."
"To make progress, we need Government support to move Approved Housing Bodies 'off balance-sheet'. Failure to secure reclassification will restrict funding available and thus impact on the output of more social and affordable homes."
"We also want to see the roll-out of new and sustainable affordable rental schemes – beyond existing pilot models. And barriers to the speedy delivery of new homes must be addressed."
Three Key Campaign Issues
With the 'More Social and Affordable Homes' campaign, the Housing Alliance is aiming to make housing a key issue in the lead-up to the local and European elections later this month. The Alliance is calling for action in three specific areas:
"Concerted action is required from Government to overcome these obstacles, and the Housing Alliance is keen to work with Government to achieve this," continued Declan Dunne. "We want to deliver homes and make a real difference to the lives of individuals and families all around the country."
Local Elections
Also speaking at today's event, John Hannigan, Vice-Chair of the Alliance, said: "Housing is an issue that has been consistently to the fore of public and political debate in Ireland in recent years. There is widespread agreement that more and better social and affordable homes are required.
"Local government plays a key role in housing delivery, and the members of the Housing Alliance collaborate and partner with local authorities nationwide.
"Leading up to the local elections this month, we are aiming to make this a key issue on the doorsteps. We want to engage not only national politicians, but local representatives and candidates nationwide. The Government has recognised that AHBs are central to the meeting of Ireland's social and affordable housing needs, with Rebuilding Ireland recognising that AHBs will deliver one-third of the 50,000 additional social homes needed by 2021. We believe that, with all stakeholders working together, we can significantly improve the supply of social and affordable homes."
Alliance Members
The Housing Alliance is comprised of six of Ireland's largest AHBs, bodies that have been formally approved by government to provide social housing. The members are: Clúid Housing, Circle Voluntary Housing, Co-operative Housing Ireland, Oaklee Housing, Respond and Tuath Housing.
Collectively, Alliance members are responsible for over 20,000 social homes nationwide, representing two-thirds of the total AHB housing stock in Ireland. Over the last two years, 2017 and 2018, Alliance members delivered more than 3,500 homes. They are currently working across at least 50 schemes with over 2,000 homes in the pipeline, and more to come in 2019, with the support of partners.
Further information about the 'More Social and Affordable Homes' campaign is available at www.housingalliance.ie.

Research ProjectsStudent and Faculty Research
Together with their faculty mentors, students work on transdisciplinary projects and in doing so, form strong connections with faculty and other outside organizations. Students engaged in research experience personal growth, develop confidence in their work, and advance their critical thinking skills. Below are some of the research and capstone projects our students and faculty are working on.
Brazilian waterweed in Fence Rock Lake
Summer Stebbins – M.S. in Environmental GIScience
Brazilian waterweed (Egeria densa) is an invasive aquatic plant from South America. It is often spread illegally through the aquarium trade because of its beauty. Unfortunately, aquarium dumping is a huge problem and can introduce this invasive across the United States. Identifying characteristics of Brazilian waterweed include their white flowers and whorled leaves of four. Brazilian waterweed is found throughout the United States. Photos courtesy of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station Invasive Aquatic Plant Program (https://www.portal.ct.gov/caes-iapp).
Food Access in Denton, TX
Sherry Stevens – M.S. in Environmental GIScience
One-third of all the world's food goes to waste (UN 2019). This waste happens in every step of the cycle, from food production (tossing food that doesn't fit "quality" standards or rots before purchase), to consumer waste (trashing "excess" restaurant food and food gone bad in homes). Still, many people are food insecure or have difficulty accessing healthy foods. Factory farming and food distribution create pollution through the growing, processing, and transportation processes.
Moreover, climate change is set to disrupt large monocrop production. Unpredictable weather, floods and droughts are making large-scale farming a financial and environmental risk. Having a sustainable food base means polyculture, biodiversity, and being able to adapt to change. Having a variety of plants and animals with symbiotic relationships creates healthier microcosms with more nutrient-dense foods. Also, a variety of foods almost guarantees that if it is an off season for some, we can still have a fruitful harvest. This can be accomplished much easier on small scale, permaculture farms.
The Twiga Walinzi Initiative
Jenna Stacy-Dawes – M.S. in Environmental GIScience
In 2016, San Diego Zoo Global along with the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, Northern Rangelands Trust, Loisaba, Namunyak and Lewa Conservancies, The Nature Conservancy, Sarara Camp, and others, in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service launched a collaborative community-lead conservation effort in northern Kenya to help save the reticulated giraffe species from extinction.
Giraffe are one of the most iconic animals in Africa and around the world. Unlike lions, cheetahs, leopards, and elephants, giraffes are uniquely African. Historically their range extended over large portions of southern and eastern Africa. However, that range is decreasing. Across Africa, giraffe populations have declined by about 40% and in December of 2016 the IUCN Red List officially listed giraffe as "Vulnerable" to extinction.
The Future of Alaska's Wild Places
Emma Bouchard – M.S. in Environmental GIScience
While Alaska is home to some of the largest tracts of wildlands in the world, it's also the site of some of the most threatened. Dual pressures of climate change and resource development have placed many of Alaska's wildlands at a pivotal moment in history.
A Framework for Monitoring Nightjars in Maine
Logan Parker – M.S. in Sustainable Natural Resource Management
Maine's nightjars, the Eastern Whip-poor-will and the Common Nighthawk, are in decline throughout their entire breeding ranges. The extent of the decline in Maine is currently unknown. Monitoring efforts have sprung up throughout the country in response to widespread anecdotal reports of declines, the outcome of which has led conservation prioritization of these species in several states and provinces.
In 2017, such a monitoring effort was begun in Maine and expanded through a partnership with the Maine Bird Atlas in 2018. Field methods have been tested and baseline data collected. Now, at the onset of the project's third year, the project endeavors to expand the program and begin collecting data of biological significance which can be used to inform conservation policies and actions in Maine. Using the baseline data collected from 21 nightjar monitoring routes in 2018, we have conducted power analysis using Monte Carlo simulation in the R package SIMR to determine the number of routes that will need to be monitored each season in order for population trends to be observed. The results of this analysis have indicated that 63 and 82 routes would need to be run annually to detect a decline ≥20% over a 10-year period at 80% power for Eastern Whip-poor-will and Common Nighthawk respectively.
Pollinator Gardens
Sue Opperman – M.S. in Sustainable Natural Resource Management
My capstone project on pollinator gardens was a jumping-off point that's already led me to multiple other projects. I'm currently working on installing a pocket park in my neighborhood with native pollinator plant landscaping, I have created a state-wide advocacy group that helps people with native gardens (which plants will thrive where, etc), I'm coordinating with the City to incorporate native landscaping into city managed areas, and have begun a campaign to have a native flower (the purple coneflower) named as the official flower of the City. Last week, I hosted a city-wide "seed swap and gardeners social" that had hundreds of attendees. And I'm coordinating the installation of vegetable beds at a local elementary school.
Impact of Riverside Homeless Encampments on Water Quality
Wade Leonard– M.S. in Sustainable Natural Resource Management
The environmental impact of homelessness is often an overlooked concern in terms of the various effects poverty can have on a society. In the Santa Ana River Watershed, the region of Riverside, CA has become a critical location for the development of homeless encampments along the river (Guerre, 2018). The Inland Empire Waterkeeper (IEW) organization has developed the Clean Camp Coalition (CCC) program in order to mitigate the environmental repercussions of increased trash dumping throughout the city's stretch of river. After determining that the rivers water quality was severely deteriorating due to increased exposure to pollutants as a result of its proximity to numerous homeless encampments (Guerre, 2018), the IEW sought to mitigate these effects with trash collection assistance and homeless outreach services. An assessment of this programs methodology has been conducted in order to compare the program's effectiveness and results with similar existing programs. Results have indicated that the river's water quality has remained relatively constant following the implementation of the CCC's riverside trash cleanup project.

Something that has fascinated me since my introduction to psychology is, for lack of a better term, double pictures. They are those drawings where at first glance you see a picture of one thing and then with a second glance you see another. The classic drawings are those of the young woman/old woman and the vase/two people kissing. I have to say, I am not the only one who is fascinated by these drawings. Lately, on Facebook, my friends keep sharing newer versions of this. The one currently floating through cyber space is that of a tree and you are asked to comment on the number of faces you find in the tree. I think I am up to thirteen, but it seems every time I see the picture, I find a new face or two more.
I bring this simple pleasure of mine up, because our reading from the Book of Acts is in many ways an account of there being more than meets the eye.
Yes, this morning's passage from Acts is about the conversion of Saul to Paul. And, yes, our passage contains many amazing details of this event, not the least of which is Saul being blinded by a great light and hearing the booming voice of Jesus speak to him from heaven. But when we take a minute and think about who Saul really was and what God called Saul to do we begin to realize two pictures of Saul are beginning to emerge.
Let's be honest, when Saul left Jerusalem for Damascus, he was no friend of Christianity. Before leaving, he had approached the Temple authority and gained permission to identify and imprison anyone he believed to be the followers of the Way, as Christianity was known in its earliest form. An earlier account in Acts tells us, it was Saul who took the lead in having St. Steven stoned to death. So it does not come as a surprise when Annanias questions God about sending Saul, the Christian killer, to him as a new convert.
Saul, however, was not the average convert in God's eyes. God had a big plan for Saul, in fact, you could say it was a, REALLY BIG PLAN. Saul was destined to become Paul whose mission it was to bring the Good News of Christ to the Gentile world.
Saul would never have been my first pick to lead Christianity beyond the boundaries of Judaism. After all, Saul could be described as stubborn, pig headed and a general know it all, which probably meant he didn't have the best people skills. He was also zealous or one could say fanatical about Judaism and there was of course his penchant or desire to eradicate Christians from the earth. I suspect, if Saul were applying to become the rector of St. Luke's today, the search committee probably would not make him their first choice.
In Saul's case, however, God saw a different image of this person. Instead, God saw Paul, a stubborn, pig headed, zealous individual who had the right strengths and personality to take Christianity from a small sector of Judaism to the world encompassing faith it became over the next few centuries.
It's uncanny how God has the ability to pick the wrong person for the right job. Right from the beginning, God has demonstrated the ability to pick who we may feel was the worst possible candidate and use that person to advance salvation history.
In the beginning, God choose the crafty and conniving Jacob over his more stable and hard working brother Esau to father the twelve tribes of Israel. But then again, it may have been Jacob's craftiness that allowed the nascent tribe to survive the hard nomadic life they were called to live.
And then God chose Moses, a Jewish Child, raised as a grandchild of Pharaoh, whose temper got the best of him when he hauled off and killed an Egyptian slave master. He then avoids persecution by fleeing Egypt. And then, forty years later, he is called by God to return to the land he left behind to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and into the wilderness for forty more years.
It's true, God does not see us the same way we do. It seems, God sees our strengths and understands our potential when we called out of the darkness and into light of Christ. How different from us! We, who when crossing paths with a young black or hispanic male who is heavily inked with angry looking tattoos and dressed in stereo typical style, often assume the person before us is a gang member. Or, we choose to fear the person in Middle Eastern garb, because we have been forewarned of their potential as terrorists. When we jump to these conclusions, as we all are conditionally prone to do, we fail to see the whole person who God sees. Because of this, we often miss seeing the child with great artistic ability or the great mind that understands the subtleties of creation unlike any other or the one who can articulate and resolve the crux of a misunderstanding.
God , doesn't see us a limited, but as limitless, and God does not focus on what we cannot do but on what we can do. While working in Boston, one of our older parishioners referred to his then fifty years old cerebral palsied son as a "mangled mess of humanity who refused to die as he was expected to at birth." I realize these words sound and are harsh, but in defense of the parent, they did come from an individual who today would be well over 100 years old and to some degree his words reflect the context of the American culture in which he grew up.
What was sad to me is that I knew his son when he was in his early twenties. Peter had been institutionalized at the nursing home in the town where I grew up. He was an active member of the church I attended. The young person I knew then was bright, and despite slight limitations with speech, he was quite articulate. I got to know him during an Advent event at which we made Advent wreaths. I remember Peter sharing his artistic eye as we made a wreath together and I remember his sincere desire to connect with and be part of our congregation.
When I met Peter again some thirty years later, the vibrant young man was gone, he was never encouraged to develop his talents or seek full independence. Most around him only focused on what he could not do instead of encouraging the complete and wonderful child of God to break forth. Sadly, Peter's was a life not allowed the chance to live fully into the dream God had intended.
Today, we have the honor of witnessing and participating in the Baptism of Brennen Daniel Taylor. Brennen is a special child, like all of us, he is a beloved child of God. Brennen is fortunate, thanks to the hard work of past parishioners and many others, the world he has been born into has made great strides in making room for those with physical and mental limitations. And, we, as his community of faith, are charged with helping him realize the dream God has for him. But we cannot do this if all we see is a child with limitations or use terms like disabled or handicapped to describe him. We are called to see and to describe Brennen as God does . . as whole, complete, and like you and me, created in God's image. We are also asked to accept his baptism as being like all others, as a thanksgiving and the committing of a life into God's service.
We never know what God's dreams are for the children we baptize at St. Luke's. What I do know, is with every child we baptize, God has created them with gifts and talents and a great amount of hope. Hope that they will use these gifts to move forward the Kingdom by doing amazing acts of compassion with their lives. While we do not know what God's dream is for Brennen, what we do know is two things. First, by having Brennen in our midst, Brennen like each of us, enhances and expands our understanding of what the Kingdom of God is like. And second, in the same way God was able to use a conniving thief to father the tribes of Israel, a murderous coward to lead the Children of Israel out of bondage and into freedom and a fanatical and zealous Jew to take Christianity outside the boundaries of Judaism, we know how God can and will use Brennen, for something spectacular as well.
