We are all abuzz with the news of Swets bankruptcy which is reminiscent of the RoweCom/Faxon unpleasantness in earlier years. Elsevier, Springer, Wiley and many others have cautioned customers and the news is everywhere. Here are just a few links that we assembled in our ATG NewsChannel post Caught My Eye: More on Swets
Was excited to see that internationally renowned chemist Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, has been named founding editor-in-chief of the American Chemical Society's first fully open access journal, ACS Central Science which is set to launch in early 2015. Currently a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigator at the University of California at Berkeley, Bertozzi is widely recognized as one of the most accomplished and respected chemists of her generation. "My goal is to make ACS Central Science a highly selective journal and the primary venue for reporting the most important advances in chemistry and in allied fields where chemical approaches play a major role," Bertozzi said. "Now is the time for innovative publishing strategies that focus and elevate the visibility of chemistry as 'the central science.'" The term 'central science,' coined some 40 years ago, is commonly used to describe the focal role of chemistry in bridging the physical and life sciences, as well as the basic sciences, with applied disciplines like medicine and engineering.
The Charleston Conference is right around the corner! Have you registered yet? Meanwhile we are already receiving queries about the next Fiesole Retreat which will be in Berlin in May 2015. The latest from Isabelle Eula, Chief Librarian, Head of Library and Learning Commons, Monash University, Malaysia. To learn more about the Retreats visit http://www.casalini.it/retreat/
Just learned that the delightful Narda and her entrepreneurial husband Peter Tafuri – frequent attendees of the Charleston Conference — stopped by John Riley's bookshop over the weekend. Narda had come to Northampton for the funeral of her "mentor," Lee Hawkins, a teacher and Camp Fire Girls leader. Narda found a reprint of the Camp Fire Girls 1912 Manual at Gabriel Books, John's famous bookstore! Narda was thrilled to think that this might have been the one Lee Hawkins had used as a child.
Here is a photo of Narda and Peter in Gabriel's Books!
And a boost or is it a boast for bookstores! According to this article in The Bookseller (28 September) the 16-24 generation is still firmly in favor of print books! "Exclusive research conducted by Voxburner for The Bookseller showed that while nearly three-quarters of young people said they prefer the print form, only 27% prefer eBooks and 31% said they don't buy e-books at all."
Speaking of another frequent attendee in Charleston, y'all have to visit Mike Markwith's Facebook page to see his grandson Tom smiling up at us with a Dodgers t-shirt! Says Mike : my grandson has his priorities straight! Dodgers rule, Giants drool. Tom is now 11.
And to finish Rumors for this week — Charleston is well known for its hospitality, and the Annual Gala Reception Thursday night is a true Charleston affair! The reception this year (generously sponsored by Gale) will be held at the South Carolina Aquarium. Delicious lowcountry specialties as well as mofamiliar reception fare, will be served. And – ta da — in 2014, the reception will feature an Open Mike event. Each performance will be 15-20 minutes and you will need to register in order to perform. This will not be a Karaoke event but you can bring a CD to sing along with. To register just contact one of the following folks:
- • • Jack Montgomery at email@example.com
- • • Scott Plutchak at email@example.com
- • • Leah Hinds at email@example.com
Thursday November 6, 2014 7:00pm – 9:00pm
South Carolina Aquarium(100 Aquarium Wharf, Charleston, SC 29401)
This is gonna be fun!
Tom is originally from Brooklyn N.Y but has spent his entire professional career in South Carolina, most recently as Head of Reference Services at the College of Charleston. As part of the Against the Grain and Charleston Conference team, he serves as the associate editor of the print ATG as well as the co-editor of the webpage. Tom's conference duties include coordinating the Penthouse Suite interviews as well as the conference poster sessions.
He received his MLS from the University of Buffalo, SUNY and a second master's in public administration from the College of Charleston and the Univ. of South Carolina.

text: Teachers, early childhood educators, and childcare providers play a critical role in laying a foundation for young children's developmental success. The first three years of life provide a critical foundation for child developmental success, and this period is both a time of vulnerability and opportunity. During this period, strong early relationships between parents or caregivers and their child(ren) can protect children and promote child resilience, even in the face of stresses and adversity. Yet caregivers' own experiences of stress may interfere with their ability to detect, interpret, and respond to young children's emotional needs. In our early work interviewing and meeting with early childhood staff, we often heard a wish for more support as teachers navigate the challenges of supporting not only children, but also parents and the parent-child relationships, in their classrooms.

Marcus Eklund
Global Managing Director, FCM Travel Solutions
As a global travel management company (TMC), we put the needs of our corporate customers and their travellers at the heart of everything we do. With customers in over 90 countries, it is essential that we continue to innovate our products and services. We have to look ahead to the future requirements of our customers, in order for FCM to stay at the forefront of the TMC sector.
This is why we decided to partner with Amadeus to power our new flagship online booking solution called Seeqa. It's built on Amadeus' corporate online booking tool, Amadeus cytric Travel. This has allowed us to build an exclusive roadmap for the platform's capabilities that includes integrating FCM's own technology applications and bespoke content.
Over the last few years, the technology that supports a traveller's journey has changed significantly. Today's travellers need to be able to book their next trip on-the-go and find the flights, hotels, rail, and car options, as well as other ancillary services they are looking for in just a few clicks. Also, it's important for the corporation to ensure that whatever the traveller is booking it is within company policy.
One of the first applications that will be integrated and available to our customers is our mobile chatbotapplication called Sam, which supports business travellers with all aspects of travel throughout their trip. Subsequently, further development work is to be undertaken on the user interface and to enhance the user experience.
Easy to use and agile technology is what travellers and corporations need to manage their journeys. Our partnership with Amadeus ensures that this is a reality for our customers and also gives them access to the widest choice of travel content available. We're excited to launch Seeqa and to have the support of Amadeus to help deliver better technology and power smarter business travel.

Stimulation use mild electric pulses, delivered through a device, to relieve chronic pain. The electricity blocks the nerve impulses that make you feel pain. When other treatments don't give you enough pain relief, stimulation may be an option. Stimulation reduces or eliminates the need for pain medication.
In spinal cord stimulation, the device blocks pain by sending electrical pulses to the nerves in the spine. Spinal cord stimulation is also called neurostimulation.
A spinal cord stimulation device has 3 parts:
- A generator, which sends the electrical pulses and is placed in the upper butt or the abdomen
- Thin wires called leads that deliver the pulses from the generator to nerves along the spinal cord. The leads are placed under the skin
- A programmer, which is like a remote control and lets you adjust the stimulation
Most patients who get a spinal cord stimulator have up to 70% less pain. Many can decrease or stop taking pain medicines.

The first ever Comédie-Française workshop provided a chance for students from Harvard University and Université Paris Nanterre to plan a week long festival of activities based around the exploration of the CFRP data.
Encouraged to explore the theme of 'success', they investigated the programming of various evenings at la Comédie-Française (between 1680 and 1793) to create presentations pertaining to the historical and theatrical importance of their chosen performances. The students defended their projects at a meeting of the organizational comittee of the 2016 CFRP conference (Harvard, USA) and together the students and the committee used them, in part, to create the final conference schedule. The conference was titled "C'était comme un orage...". Collectively, the students also created an information pamphlet and prepared a 35 minute skit, which they performed at the CFRP conference on May 20th, 2016.
The workshop aimed to turn traditional methods of teaching theater history upside down ; it instead experimented with the idea of inquiry based experiential learning, where collaboration and student driven learning are key.
The workshop was a part of the Idéfi-CréaTIC initiative, and was funded in part by the Partner University Fund. It was coordinated by T. Karsenti, S. Guyot and S. Harvey.

Since this simple Pasta Salad with Sun-Dried Tomatoes contains no mayo, it's perfect for a picnic or pot-luck when it might sit out for a while.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the pasta and cook according to package directions. When cooked, drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Shake to drain well. Pour into a large bowl; add the sun-dried tomatoes, olives, celery, and green onions. Stir to combine. In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 teaspoons reserved sun-dried tomato oil, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Pour over salad; add parsley; mix well. Allow to sit at room temperature for 20 - 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
LindySez: Try these variations: 1. Add some coarsely chopped marinated artichoke hearts. 2. Add some crumbled Feta or diced mozzarella cheese.
Pasta salad, picnics and BBQ's just go hand in hand.
During the summer months, when everyone wants to be outdoors, I start thinking of all the different pasta shapes and how I can incorporate them into a great tasting side salad. This recipe for Pasta Salad with Sun-Dried Tomatoes fits the bill as being a great tasting side salad.
And it's fairly low-fat and low-calorie to boot!
You can use any pasta shape you like, from elbows to bow-ties, to small shells. I prefer these little small shells as their size and shape allow you to get all the wonderful components of the salad into your mouth in one bite giving you tons of flavor. Since this salad contains no mayo, it's perfect for a picnic or pot-luck when it might sit out for a while.
So whether it's Memorial Day or Labor Day, or any day in between, this salad is the perfect salad to accompany your BBQ or grilled delights.

360-degree tag radius
Helios PRO has six sensor areas located on the front, back, shoulders, and phaser creating a 360 tag radius. Protected with a durable polycarbonate mold, these shells can resist incredible impacts.
2.4 gHz military-grade radio with continuous data link
Helios PRO offers a military grade radio that streams real-time data to the game computer and your scoreboard(s). This creates a continuous data link between players vests and the game computer.
Helios PRO phaser
The Helios PRO phaser brings the next-generation of technology, features, and player experience to laser tag…

Ultra-thin and ultra-light
Helios packs incorporate surface mount technology leading to exceptionally small space requirements for the sensor and light areas on the vest and phaser. This enables the Helios product to be incredibly low profile. By using the space saved from reducing the circuit board height, the material thickness of the plastic covers has been increased which leads to a more durable product. All this and more has been achieved while saving on weight, the new Helios pack (vest and phaser) is over 1kg lighter than any previous equipment produced by Zone.
Front clips and adjustable side-straps
The Helios vest is designed to be put on like a rain coat, allowing small children as well as larger players to suit up without difficulty. The side-straps can also be adjusted to fit players of all body types.

Our packs have been tested under the most ruthless conditions with stress testing to make sure your laser tag attraction won't buckle under abuse or rough play.
We've seen other laser tag equipment crack and break when dropped and knocked, and our customers deserve better than that!
For more info please visit our 'durability' page.
Simple repairs with 'Swaptronics'
Zone's Helios PRO laser tag systems are incredibly easy to maintain, as any internal component is 'hot-swappable', meaning you just open the plastics, pull-out any board or part that may be malfunctioning and then replace it with a new board from your spare parts kit.
No soldering required!
Then you just send us the broken parts back and we'll replace them for your spare parts kit.
In 1996, we trademarked the term 'Swaptronics' to describe the ease of replacing parts on our laser tag equipment.
Our technology is designed to assist our operators in making repairs both easy and quick. The longer your packs are down, the more revenue it's costing you. We're dedicated to making sure any pack downtime is as minimal as possible.

Blanche's Book Club: 'Rest In Power'.
I heard about this book, "Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin" when Trayvon Martin's parents appeared as guests on a recent episode of "The Daily Show". They'd taken their story, which started when Trayvon was born, and put it into print for all to read. And I immediately added my name to […]More

The demo is planned to be done by various taxi driver asosiai online ranging from IRTI Parking Field to the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub).

The demo is done by filing three demands related to PM No. 108 of 2017. The demands are about the rejection of sticker installation, operation area boundary, and the article which the Supreme Court (MA) has not submitted to PM Number 108 Year 2017.
Star said since PM No. 108 was inaugurated Kemenhub, it also has long intended to demo. "We will do it if Kemenhub wants to weaken the taxi online by enforcing the policy," Bintang said.

Industry Landscape:
- The end of 2018 saw a large increase in the number of advisers joining licensees, as they attempted to beat the FASEA education requirement deadline that applies to new advisers joining the industry from January 1st this year. The increase saw more than half of the entire years' worth of new adviser authorisations come in during the last few months of the year. While over 8,500 new advisers jumped on board in 2018, nearly 40% were registered in December.
- HUB24 revealed details of its new offering for advisers. Since 31st December 2015, the platform has grown from $2.4 billion in FUA on platform to now over $10 billion. During the same three-year period, the number of advisers using the platform has increased from 556 to almost 1,500.
- FASEA meets advisers halfway on degrees. The most important update is that for advisers with non-relevant degrees, shortcuts are now available if that degree involved 4 to 7 courses in one or more of the designated fields of study, meaning financial planning, investment, accounting, tax, finance, business or commercial law. Of the eight courses required to attain a graduate diploma – each requiring 120 hours of study – advisers who satisfy the criteria will receive credit for two courses.
- FASEA also recently published its foreign qualification standard policy that includes a two-step assessment process for new advisers. The process will entail (1) an assessment by a Department of Education and Training and (2) an assessment by FASEA as to the equivalence of the foreign qualification to a degree or qualification approved under FPS001 Education Pathways Policy. FASEA said it will then determine the requirements for the new entrant or existing adviser. (For anyone that may have studied overseas, our advice is to get your qualifications assessed ASAP, the feedback we have received is assessments are taking quite a while and most businesses will now not hire or even interview without FASEA recognised qualifications being confirmed upfront).
- Angus Woods (Managing Director at Adviser Ratings) recently published a very interesting article on dealer groups that had been reducing advisers' numbers. Angus issued – Looking back on the last 12 months, despite a net gain across the industry of +11% in 2018 due to the FASEA deadline (as stated above). Some licensees, such as BT Financial Group have made a concerted effort to consolidate advisers among its 3 licensees, BT, Securitor and Magnitude. Adviser Ratings did not include the wind ups in the last year (such as CPA Australia and Dover).
- NAB stated that the sale of its MLC wealth management businesses may be pushed back until 2020 following the Hayne royal commission final report and the resignations of its CEO and chairman.
Recent Changes to Senior Leadership:
- Adam Youkhana, previously with YBR has joined Clime as GM Wealth and Distribution.
- Brian Benari retired as Managing Director and CEO of Challenger with incoming CEO Richard Howes.
- Michael Spurr, appointed as CEO of Count, replacing Ed Box.
- Sonya Choi La Rosa recently joined Paragem as General Manager Operations.
- Narelle Wooden appointed general Counsel & Secretary at CountPlus.
- Lisa Chambers appointed General Manager, Advice Monitoring at NAB.
- Interesting few months at IOOF with CEO Chris Keleher and Chair George Venardos stepping down following the prudential regulator's announcement to take legal action last December.
However, it is business as usual for the group with long term leader Renato Mota stepping in as acting CEO. Darren Whereat who was appointed in August last year to the newly created role of General Manager Advice has stepped up as acting General Manager Wealth Management. Other changes at IOOF include Helen Blackford to CEO M3 and Geoff Kellett CEO of FSP.
A Recruiters market insight:
- With a number of advisers openly stating that they will look to exit the industry over the coming few years, there will be a high demand for experienced, well-educated and compliant individuals. There is already a noticeable increase in senior advice salaries across the board and this looks likely to continue due to that demand.
- There is still high demand for candidates to work within advice remediation, from junior, case assessors and senior leadership roles.
- A new online fact find, Telescope, is launching soon. With just four screens and no long, arduous forms, Telescope can be filled out by clients before you meet with them, so you can get a sneak peek into their thinking, their family and their financial resources, and then have a shorter, more productive meeting as a result. Telescope is currently pre-beta. Founders, Sarah Penn and Alese Watson, say that there are only 20 places in the beta program and most are already filled.
If you'd like to be considered, check out telescope.solutions.
- Outsourced Paraplanning continues to be a popular option for our clients from Banks through to Boutiques. Clients use outsourcing providers to help them through particularly busy 'peak' periods to supplement inhouse support while others run a 100% outsourced model. This could be in part due to the increase in paraplanning salaries and shortage of talent on the market, which can make outsourcing cost effective. We have received very good feedback on a number of operations including CPC Group. If you are in need of their support, please contact Rozetta Keatley at CPC – cpcgroup.com.au
- The FPA Sydney Chapter Committee have organised a Breakfast event on 14 March 2019 available to members and non-members. The panel session will be addressing the real concerns many financial planners have around the legislative landscape and how to adapt their businesses following the Royal Commission around Fee for no Service. There is an impressive line-up on the panel:
- The Regulator: Violet Wong, Senior Manager at ASIC
- The Licensee: Claire MacKay, Quantum Financial
- The Association: Dante De Gori, CEO of FPA
- Click here for more details and to register your attendance. CPD hours will be awarded for this event https://fpa.com.au/events/fpa-sydney-chapter-panel-discussion/

The one where we actually left the house
We had a couple of days in the middle of different people suffering where we got out, once just for a couple of hours leaving a poorly Louka with my Mum, and then last weekend we all got out together before the bug got Aaron and laid him up for days and Leo developed an ear infection.
Since moving to Cyprus, and especially since starting the Famagusta Parents Network website I've been itching to get out and explore new places, we're a bit rubbish at getting out and about with a list of varying reasons as long as your arm but am I'm loving the fact I 'have' to now its my new 'job'!
One of these places was the Agia Napa aqueduct, something that I thought would be interesting to find 'because it's there' but not something that I expected would be the worlds best day out. There are many places locally which fall into that category for me which means it's taking forever to visit them!
But exploring we went, and found a lovely little walk, just off one of the main roads in the tourist town of Agia Napa. Down a footpath with just a small sign saying 'Aqueduct' that is easily missed as I've driven past it for over four years without realising where it was!
As ever in Cyprus, its not buggy friendly for very far so we abandoned it at the bottom of a huge flight of steps and slowly helped Louka negotiate them!
We walked along the path explaining to Leo what the aqueduct was for and how it would have worked and enjoyed the views of the coastline.
We then, to Leo's delight, discovered a cave and stopped to explore....
I really enjoyed getting to finally see a bit more of the area, we've seen shockingly little in four years but we're get there eventually!

Why is it hard and painful to chew with teeth?
Dental diseases in no way do not pass in the absence of discomfort and pain. This is the only method with which the dental device and the basic nervous concept speak of trouble. However, what should be done, in case it is painfully chewed – the teeth feel suffering, which cannot be traced in the presence of "tranquility"?
Causes and symptoms
The reasons, according it painful to chew with your tooth, is quite large. However, more generally, complaints about this feature are presented in the moments, if there are subsequent illnesses and capital:
- The root cyst. The presence of this disease near the top of the root, which resides in the remains of the jaw, formed a depression filled with liquid. Atheroma is able to draw in no way to provide its own stay, but precisely up to these times, now in its deepening is not infected. In this case, its scales are relatively instantaneously increasing, which leads to excessive pressure in the matter around it. The presence of the cyst is generally more painful to chew into the fang, in the root of which this disease has formed – the presence of chewing food work in the base increases, which causes an increase in discomfort. Less often-in painful symptoms, the disease surrounding with "cystic" is involved, but this means that atheroma previously achieved very large volumes.
- Self-adapters for themselves implants or tabs are unable to overlook. However, if they are incorrectly selected, made or illiterately fixed, often formed painful things. The factor of this is unevenly calculated work in the dental several and irritation of gum materials. Claims in this case, then after that, as well as the bridge, it is painfully chewed, is presented earlier in the course of the first day after the prosthesis. For this reason, the connection between the design of bridge prostheses and the appearance of unpleasant traits does not in any way keep fluctuations in the factor.
- This in fact affects the situation if it is painful to bite into the crown – very significant and "biting" into tender matter, or, on the contrary, does not overlap the height of the tooth – the lover is capable of causing great suffering, the saturation of which increases with the period.
- Diseases of the temporomandibular joint. The presence of dysplasia, inflammation or degenerative modifications in one or two joints of the jaw causes the disease to be in the main sequence. This is because the junction of the teeth of the upper and lower jaw is broken, what leads to the early demolition of teeth, located near the high load and periodontal diseases of the teeth, which stopped participating in the process of chewing.
In addition, the fact that it is painful to chew with it hurts to chew on a tooth, the difficulties with the TMJ express themselves to the main annoying pain, giving in the ears, and in addition, a crunch or "crack" in the area of the temples presence of chewing.
Possible complications
Common burdens in moments, if suffering is neglected, are:
- Chronic trauma of plastic materials, initiated incorrectly selected or in a dietetically defined prosthesis.
- The destruction of the temporomandibular joint with the loss of a significant part of its functions.
- The spread of the infected enclosed cyst root to nearby matter, something that pulls for itself probable orbital and meningeal burdens.
- Conversion of cells into a mucous membrane of the oral cavity into a thin presence of the circumstance of their continuous trauma.
- Diseases of the higher departments of TRACT, initiated by a long-lasting method of slightly chewed and not processed by enzymes of saliva food.
Methods of treatment
Before choosing the right method of cure, the doctor performs an early investigation, the task of which is to reveal the root cause of the pain syndrome. For the purpose of this can be quite a survey of the oral cavity, but you may need a radiographic examination, CT or MRI.
After the conditions that cause suffering are established, the only one that can be selected is the one from the following ways of cure:
- Removal of an individual crown or bridge, with its further correction or the production of the newest prosthesis. Even after the design of implants, determined by the anatomical distinctive features of the dent alveolar aggregate of the patient, suffering, as well as the principle, proceeds without the help of others.
- Treatment of TMJ diseases involves a systematic aspect. Someone contains medicinal therapy with the method of NSAIDs, chondroprotectors, analgesics, vitamins and minerals in a pharmaceutical figure, and in addition physiotherapy (ion-check with pharmaceutical applications, UV treatment, treatment, etc.). In single variants, a surgical invasion, the presence of which the natural pathologies of the joint may change or the osteophytes from the articular planes may be needed.
- With the root of the tooth cyst, therapy is surgical, and thus reaction methods are ineffective. During the procedure, the doctor performs a resection of the root's elite with the removal of unnaturally modified materials, after which the sutures are applied and the patient is prescribed drug therapy.
Help means if it hurts to chew on a tooth
- If you do not have the ability to resort to a doctor, and suffering makes life difficult, take a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory method (Nimesil, Diclofenac, Nurofen, Fastum, etc.) or analgesics (Metamizol sodium, Drug, Medication, etc.).
- To reduce the possibility of forming or spreading a contagious or inflammatory course, constantly rinse the mouth with a substance of soda (1 tsp into a glass of water) or a decoction of chamomile. The washing done is obliged to be nice temperature, and not to cause discomfort in any way.

of Freemind:
Severely handicapped from birth, MacKinsey Flint rises to prominence as one of the world's greatest experts of cybernetics. To escape from the confines of his crippled body, Flint succeeds in transferring his mind, for a limited amount of time, into an android body.
However, the transferral process has an unexpected side effect- free of the restraints of the body, the android can utilize the 90% of the mind that lies dormant in humans, bestowing startling psionic powers to him.

On the StinkTrain this morning, the transit cops made their annual appearance to ensure we drones had all paid our fare. The woman across from me was understandably caught off-guard, and had to rifle through about 50 assorted credit cards, drivers licenses, store loyalty cards, home pregnancy tests, etc. to find her pass. While she was doing it, the transit cop stood there like a 10 year old ready to trade baseball cards. Every card she produced that wasn't a transit pass or Rollie Fingers rookie card was met with him saying "nope…"
"…nope…nope…nope…nope…nope…nope…nope…" and then finally "…THERE IT IS! You're golden."
It struck me that "you're golden" was awfully high praise for something as mundane as finding your bus pass in the place you'd most expect to. That got me thinking that our collective propensity for exaggeration has the effect of making truly superlative things essentially indescribable. If producing a bus pass for a transit cop makes you golden, what would you be if you did something truly remarkable like saving somebody's life or walking on the moon?
"You saved my life! You're golden, along with all the other transition metals! And the lanthanoids too!"
If you ever walked on the moon, the logical extension would be that you'd be all of the above along with the halogens and noble gases.
It doesn't take long for anything that's used routinely to become de-valued. I personally notice it most with people who laugh too frequently (usually out of social awkwardness in my experience). People who laugh at everything make everything worth nothing. Same goes for people who are angry all the time. Their anger has no impact because they're mad at everything, always. You can't tell when people like that are truly amused or truly angry.
I suppose the transit cop unthinkingly fell into the cultural trap of trying to make everything seem better than it is. He wanted to be Mr. Positive. For some reason, that's seen as a worthwhile trait by lots of people. I see myself as a pragmatist, so to me an attitude like that just makes you look like a happy idiot. In my opinion, what he should have said when the woman found her pass was "thank you". It's simple and polite.
Interestingly (or not, depending on your definition of interesting), as I was putting the finishing touches on this write-up a friend commented on a video I had posted on Facebook. I described it as "awesome", and he said "Must be pretty amazing for YOU to use the word 'awesome'".
I like that. It proves my point. I'm not known to over-react, so when I describe things as being better or worse than average it gets noticed. I've got a lot of headroom if anybody ever walks on the moon or saves my life.

ASAP's abuse-prevention program is being used to ensure healthly physical and behavorial interactions and safety. It includes a Director's Guide, screening protocol, staff training - animated videos and a test for certification and guidelines for parents. It raises the standards of camps and camp staff in a respectful and innovative way and reduces liability. By providing trainings and implementing safety measures, camps will be sending a message to counselors, campers, and parents that they are educated, aware, and will not tolerate abuse.
Learner Outcomes:
- Administrators, counselors, and staff will have an increased awareness about the signs of sexual abuse, the ability to identify children who are struggling, and the tools to get them the professional help they need.
- Safety protocol will be implemented throughout camp to ensure proper boundaries are maintained and that staff and campers are not at risk. Potential perpetrators will be deterred from joining camp or perpetrating.
- Parents will be informed about child sexual abuse, the tools to speak to their children in preparation for camp, and the awareness of how to respond in case boundaries are violated.
