This step-by-step guide is for new international undergraduate students transferring to SFU from other Canadian post-secondary institutions, including Fraser International College.
Step 1. Check and update your study permit and other documents
☑ Check your study permit expiry date, and apply for an extension if needed
▶ You must submit an application to extend your study permit before it expires
☑ Follow the Designated Learning Institution Student Transfer o (or DLI transfer) process to notify Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that you will now be attending SFU
▶ If you do not inform IRCC that you are now studying at SFU, your previous institution will report you as not being enrolled, which can cause issues moving forward with your study permit.
☑ Check the conditions/remarks relating to your work eligibility while you study. Ensure the details under the client information section are correct on the study permit issued to you
Step 2. Apply for the BC Medical Services Plan (If applicable)
☑ If you are in British Columbia and have not already done so, apply for the BC Medical Services Plan (BC MSP) o
▶ MSP is required by law for anyone living in BC for more than 6 months.
▶ It will take about a month to process your MSP application -- apply early so that you will be able to opt out of the Guard.me@SFU plan with proof of MSP coverage (see AFTER YOU START AT SFU for details)
Step 3. Find housing
☑ If you are moving from outside of Metro Vancouver, research housing options: on campus or off campus
▶ Consider making an advance appointment and discuss with International Student Advisors before making a decision on off-campus housing to avoid housing scams
☑ (If applicable) Apply for on-campus housing as soon as possible, spaces are limited
Step 4. Learn about SFU
☑ Complete University Prep o. You will receive (or have already received) an email invitation once you accept your offer of admission. This course includes a module for FIC Transfer students.
▶ It's a free online course that will help you prepare for SFU. You will learn about the academic culture, degree requirements, course enrollment procedures, and our wide range of opportunities and resources. Assessment evidence shows that students who complete the course have higher rates of academic success and GPAs than those who don't.
▶ You will receive your first Co-Curricular Record o accreditation for completing these courses.
☑ Sign up and attend Welcome Day o
▶ Welcome Day is for all new undergraduate students starting at SFU. During this day you will:
- meet your professors, classmates and the SFU staff who will help launch your time at SFU
- find out more about your program of study
- get comfortable on campus
- receive free SFU merchandise, including a t-shirt
☑ Sign up for the Global Connections Program o
▶ When you join the Global Connections Program, you can request to be matched with a Community Leader to support you and answer your questions one-on-one about all aspects of life at SFU. You will also be meeting other SFU students through various events, activities, and trips over the course of one term. See photos of our past events and programming on our Facebook and Instagram.

Burnaby Campus Tour
As a new international student at SFU, you will be automatically enrolled in a 4-month primary medical insurance plan with guard.me@SFU for your first term of studies. This is to ensure you have valid coverage during the waiting period for public health insurance under the BC Medical Services Plan (BC MSP).
☑ If you already have valid MSP coverage, opt out of the Guard.Me@SFU o plan online for a full refund before the opt-out deadline.
▶ Check opt-out deadlines for Guard.me o
☑ If you are new to British Columbia, apply for the BC Medical Services Plan (MSP) o as soon as you arrive. Your coverage will begin two to three months after your arrival date in BC. If you will be residing in BC for six months or longer, it is mandatory for you to enroll yourself and any accompanying family members in BC MSP.
▶ Opt out of the Guard.me@SFU o plan when your BC MSP takes effect (after the waiting period). You may be eligible for a partial refund of the guard.me@SFU fee if there is more than one month remaining in the term, and you have not used the plan.
☑ Make changes to your secondary insurance (SFSS Studentcare o) if necessary, i.e. opt down to the basic plan, opt out with equivalent coverage, add family members) during the opt-out period for Studentcare.
Step 6. Confirm your enrollment requirements and work eligibility
☑ Maintain enrollment requirements o as an international student
▶ Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) requires you to actively pursue your studies while at SFU. SFU is required to report on the enrollment status of international students twice a year.
▶ Your enrollment at SFU affects your ability to work, study, and stay in Canada. To help you comply with the conditions of your study permit, review the information in this section carefully and contact an International Student Advisor, Immigration Specialist if you have any questions.
☑ Determine your eligibility to work on campus o or off campus o
☑ If you have not already done so, apply for a Social Insurance Number(SIN) o if you are eligible and planning to work in Canada.
▶ You must provide your SIN to your employer within three days of starting work.
▶ At the beginning of the Fall and Spring terms, Service Canada offers on-campus SIN clinics to help you apply for a SIN on campus. See upcoming sessions here.
z RESOURCES
Step 7. Get the most out of your time at SFU
☑ Complete SFU 101 o to help you transition to SFU and prepare for academic success.
▶ This continues on from University Prep and gives you tips for a successful first year on campus. You will be automatically enrolled in SFU 101at the beginning of your first term and you will receive Co-Curricular Record o accreditation for completing these courses.
☑ Follow ISS on Facebook o and Instagram o for the upcoming events, opportunities, and important reminders
☑ Sign up for Events and Programs o offered by International Services for Students
☑ Read ISS Newsletter sent to your SFU Mail account to stay up-to-date on advising, immigration, medical, opportunities, and important reminders.

Hello South East Texas... glad you made it to the CB.
This being my first post I'll make it sweet and short.
Nov 7th a friend and I made it to Rodgers Park under
the Autumn blue sky of poet dreams, people slowly
gathering in front of an old baseball backstop from
my youth... a monument at the far side of this
old Beaumont gathering spot.
Having grown up here I was feeling nostalgic, and coming
to my first Tea Party for the SETX chapter made it also
something to take pride in. The crowd gathering was from
all walks of life, young and old the like. Not to my surprise
these were the type of people I meet when out fishing... friendly
compassionate and who have never met a stranger. The event
went on without a hitch except maybe only that we ran out of
day, book-marked with a photographer's dream sunset. The
image most burnt into my mind.s eye is the one below. Our
next generation under the Gadsden Flag smiling with faith
that all we have perservered for will still be here when
she becomes a woman. Thanks to all that attended.
Click on the picture below for a slide show
of this wonderfull coalition.

Movie people love a good Easter egg, and in these days of shared movie universes it's hard to find a film that doesn't have a few of them. But one of our favourites is when a character from a completely different movie or franchise crosses over into another movie universe.
We're not talking sequels or specifically shared universes (like Ant-Man in Captain America: Civil War), more the cheeky blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameos that are there for the fans.
Here are our top stealth movie crossovers.
1. Jay and Silent Bob in Scream 3
The ViewAskew-niverse's iconic stoners played by Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes pop up in the third part of Wes Craven's slasher satire series. In a bit of mega-metaness, they're getting a tour of the Stab studio and they spot Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox), who they mistake for news anchor Connie Chung.
Returning the favour, Wes Craven played himself in a cameo in Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back.
2. Doc Brown in A Million Ways to Die in the West
Great Scott! Back to the Future's mad scientist Doc Brown gets a brief appearance in Seth MacFarlane's not-very-good comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West. Doc is in a barn tending to the DeLorean when MacFarlane's farmer pokes his head in. It's a reference to BTTF3, which, you will recall, is set in the old-timey cowboy days.
3. Ray Stantz in Casper
"Who you gonna call? Someone else..." Dan Aykroyd's ghostbuster makes a brief appearance in full costume with proton pack in this family spook caper. He's just been chased out of the house by three irritating ghouls more annoying, it's implied, than even Slimer.
4. Rapunzel in Frozen
Disney movies are packed to the rafters with Easter eggs from other Disney movies – in fact there's such a thing as Pixar Theory, which links all the Pixar movies together into one universe. We've chosen just one crossover for now, and it counts because it's so subtle that it's not meant to be an official cameo.
Rapunzel and Flynn pop up in Arendelle for Elsa's coronation, though they can only be seen from behind.
There's even a theory that Frozen, Tangled and Tarzan are all linked (Anna and Elsa's parents get shipwrecked on the way to Flynn and Rapunzel's gaff, they wash up in the jungle, give birth to Tarzan and then get killed). At least one of Frozen's director favours this theory.
5. Randolph and Mortimer Duke in Coming to America
The wealthy antagonists of Trading Places, who make a bet before manipulating and swapping the fortunes of Eddie Murphy's Valentine and Dan Aykroyd's Winthorpe, return for a different Eddie Murphy joint.
By the end of Trading Places the tables are turned and the Duke brothers are bankrupt. Then in Coming to America, they're back. Though Murphy takes on a different role, in a brief cameo we see Randolph and Mortimer living homeless on the street till Murphy's Prince Akeem gives them a wad of cash. "We're back!" Randolph exclaims.
6. Frank Martin in Collateral
This is a slightly cheeky one, since the character is never named, but we're pretty convinced that Jason Statham's cameo in Michael Mann's Tom Cruise-fuelled crime thriller is as his character from The Transporter. We see him trade cases with Cruise in an airport, having 'Transported' one there. He's basically a kick-ass courier.
7. ET in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
George Lucas sneakily included his pal Steven Spielberg's ET aliens in the first of his dreary Star Wars prequels, The Phantom Menace. The 'Asogians' can be seen in the corner of the screen getting incensed with the rest of the Senate over the film's hopelessly convoluted plot, although it's unclear whether ET himself is present.
8. Han in Better Luck Tomorrow
A character so beloved that they completely screwed with the Fast and Furious timeline just so they could bring him back in more movies: you can get even more mileage out of Sung Kang's street racer if you accept Justin Lin's claim that his 2002 movie Better Luck Tomorrow is an unofficial sequel to the hit franchise, with Kang playing Han again.
(The film actually came out before Han's Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift debut, which means that now we're actually messing around with the real world's timeline. What fun!)
9. The T-1000 in Wayne's World
Wayne Campbell is just driving along (badly) and minding his own business when he's pulled over by a cop. But it's not a cop – it's a shapeshifting Terminator looking for John Connor! Does that mean that Wayne's World and Terminator are set in the same universe? Which would mean that the non-existent third Wayne's World film didn't happen because of Judgment Day....

FEMME Alliance's mission is to address the underrepresentation of women working in the film, television, media and advertising industries. The internship program allows participants to produce content and learn about the business on a professional level in a professional environment. It covers areas from pre to post production with established timelines and deliverables. Participants will be able to increase their knowledge base and enhance their skillsets through hands-on engagement. An important aspect of the experience is teambuildingand leadership. Students will be mentored throughout the program. This includes one-on-one coaching by professional talent, peer-to-peer mentoring and group discussions. In parallel to producing their own content, participants have an opportunity to shadow professionals while they work. It's another layer that helps to demonstrate as well as reinforce the student's knowledge.
Through FEMME Alliance's fellowship program our aim is to bolster the numbers by offering an immersive, hands-on, interdisciplinary experience to emerging talent. We understand that success is determined by what one knows (i.e., "hard skills"), and the ability to lead and interact with others throughout one's educational and professional journey (i.e., "soft skills"). Thus we integrate both hard and soft skills training into the program. This allows us to simulate real-life scenarios that are reinforced through hands-on engagement and mentoring by industry specific professionals.
The program consists of internship opportunities where the participant works on professional projects. We collaborate with companies to develop programs that will allow participants to work alongside professionals to produce content and develop business strategies. The projects
vary based on company and industry. We're always looking to collaborate with leading organizations to develop career opportunities.
The program is national and is held throughout the year. The time frames and locations depend upon our industry partners. We collaborate with academia and companies to create opportunities for emerging talent around their projects. Yet, we are not able to provide equipment and/or facilities for students to work on their projects.
College-level female students and recent graduates are invited to participate. We focus on applicants whose concentration / major focuses on the film, television, media and/or advertising industries.
The program is 100% free! All we ask for your enthusiasm, honest efforts, commitment, collaborative spirit and positive attitude.
The schedule for each program depends upon the project. However, participants must commit 15-20 hours weekly. We work with participating educational institutions to offer approved credit hours upon completion. Our up-coming 2017 program runs from January through May in New York City, NY.
Students can work as an individual or in small teams to produce projects that will garner national distribution. The type, style and genre of the projects are determined by our partners. Participants will brainstorm, cerate their own outline and shot list as well as shoot and edit content. They must also create business strategies, giving them insight into the overall product ecosystem. Business strategies include budgets, branding, marketing, advertising and the like. The end product varies based on the partner. It can be anything from BTS vignettes and interstitials to webisodes and ad campaigns.
Participants must have access to equipment and/or the ability to borrow equipment from their educational institution. B~STEM Project or participating companies do not provide equipment, editing resources or facilities. Participants must have access to the tools needed to engage in the program.
Registration is open on an on-going basis via our website. Acceptance is based upon the program's industry of focus and location.We will post programs on our website as well as notify qualified applicants when program openings are available.
We will invite 2-10 participants per collaboration. We will also maintain a reserve list in the event an applicant we've invited is unable to participate. We ask that if you're invited and your plans change to notify us immediately. As space becomes available we can send out additional invitations.
College-level female students and recent graduates are invited to participate. We focus on applicants whose concentration / major focuses on the film, television, media and/or advertising industries.

Super Kids Nutrition is always on the lookout for new ways to get kids excited about fresh food and healthy living! We had the opportunity to speak with nutrition educator and co-director of the UC Davis Center for Nutrition in Schools (CNS), Sheri Zidenberg – Cherr, Ph.D. based in Davis, California.
Garden-based learning is an educational strategy that uses school gardens to supplement instruction in a variety of subjects. Growing the garden creates hands-on activities for the students in math, science, language arts, history, environmental studies, nutrition, and health. Nutrition to Grow On, the garden curriculum we developed and used in our research, actually incorporates core educational standards into the curriculum with excellent results. Students increased their nutrition knowledge and food preferences! We need to get kids to like more healthy foods, garden-based learning does this.
It's a fun way for kids to learn! Especially with teachers that have such a large amount of responsibility within a standards-based education setting – they need a curriculum that utilizes those standards within their teaching area. Using garden-based education, you can teach a variety of subjects and it's a hands-on, enjoyable learning style for children. In addition to improvements in health and food choices, studies have shown improvement in test scores, self-esteem, social interaction, and behavior!
That said, we may not see any sustained learning in terms of nutrition and behavior change until parents are part of the whole program. Parent involvement makes a big difference. Our Nutrition to Grow On curriculum and many of the garden-based curriculums available out there have found that it's really beneficial to get parents involved, whether it's a take-home newsletter or activity sheets. A major part of the Nutrition to Grow On curriculum is take-home activity sheets the children complete with their parents.
Parents & teachers can get together and form a team. Put the word out to the school community to see who has garden experience. We've found in our studies that you really need parent involvement as well as a garden coordinator, an individual who is responsible for bringing the team together and committed to implementing and maintaining the garden.
There are often small community grants offered by Home Depot, Lowes or Wal-Mart. Check to see what's available in your area! Our website at the UC Davis Center for Nutrition in Schools, https://cns.ucdavis.edu/, provides a wealth of information and free resources for use throughout the school community. We have information regarding current programs available that have been incorporated into the standard based/core curriculum with excellent and exciting results!
Again, it is important to form a team of parents and teachers. They must then do the research and know what resources are available. When approaching the school administration, bring in all the evidence that a school garden can benefit children's learning and their long-term health. The UCD Center for Nutrition in Schools has numerous research papers that support a school garden curriculum: https://cns.ucdavis.edu/resources/research/.
Along with this evidence, bring a list of volunteers, and the anticipated cost of the program. Most importantly, have a designated garden coordinator – there must be someone who takes responsibility for coordinating the team members. Also, there are garden programs available that provide teacher training. The UC Davis Children's garden program does phenomenal training for teachers. They provide instruction on how to plant the garden, design activities for the garden that address health, nutrition and science, as well as networking opportunities to support the implementation of school gardens. Check it out at https://childrensgarden.ucdavis.edu/sf/schoolgardeningprogram
It's really time and availability of garden-based curriculum that is the biggest challenges. Teachers are worried they don't have time. Principles are worried the teachers don't have enough training in the standards-based curriculum for use in the garden. Teachers and administration aren't aware of the resources already available for use – oftentimes for free!
The key to overcoming these challenges is to know what resources are available. The Center for Nutrition in Schools has information regarding available curriculum and training at https://cns.ucdavis.edu/resources/curriculum/index.cfm. The Nutrition to Grow On curriculum is also available for free on the California Department of Education's website: https://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/nu/he/nrttogrow.asp.
One of the benefits we saw was the children's ability to make healthier choices and contribute to the choices of their family. We saw in the earlier studies with Nutrition to Grow On that children felt more confident to ask their parents to buy specific fruits and vegetables – they were more knowledgeable as a result of the school garden. Children were also more willing to try fruits and vegetables as a snack, where they would never have before. They were able to help their entire family to make healthier choices!
The garden coordinator of the team is usually responsible for maintaining the garden. The coordinator may not actually do the work but will organize a rotation schedule or team of volunteers to take care of the garden throughout the year.
It can be a parent, however some programs will provide funding to hire a garden coordinator. There's also the California Master Gardener Program that provides trained volunteers to assist with implementing and maintaining a school garden. Check out the website for additional information: https://camastergardeners.ucdavis.edu/
Garden-based learning is a great environmental tool to teach children academics, appreciation for the environment and long-lasting nutrition and lifestyle skills. They say it takes a whole village to raise a child – that's really what is required to improve children's nutrition. We want children to realize that it feels better to eat healthier foods and to make changes for life. Changing the food selection at schools and forcing kids to eat it is simply not enough.
Check out our tips to start a family garden and how gardening yields more than just crops! You can view all of our nutrition and health expert interviews for everyday tips to healthy living.
We help grow healthy kids, families and communities to create healthier generations!Learn More

Signs That Your Child Needs Tutoring
The challenge for parents is knowing when their child needs help. Many parents are left to wait until they receive a report card to discover grades that simply don't match their child's intellect.
Of course, by the time you are reading these grades on a report card, the semester has finished, and it is too late to help.
How to Know if Your Student Needs Tutoring
From years of providing reputable one-to-one
tutoring in Santa Clara CA
The Tutoring Center
, Santa Clara CA
knows that the earlier a parent can identify a student's need for help, the better off the student will be. Below is information on two common indicators parents can look out for, and how
tutoring in Santa Clara, CA
can help.
Their Homework Takes Longer Than It Should
This is a great indicator, however, it is often one which parents struggle to pick up on. This isn't because they aren't paying attention to their children, but simply because it can be hard to gauge whether or not the lessons they are learning require so much additional study. In contrast to the types of teacher characters you may have seen in movies who get together to scheme and plot ways to make their students' lives horrible with exorbitant amounts of homework and detention, it's important to remember that teachers are reasonable people. This means that while you should expect your student to complete a modest amount of homework each night, teachers know that giving their students so much homework that they are up until the early hours of the morning only means they come to school the next day tired and unable to learn or behave well. The next time that you see your young student with their study lamp on as they prepare for bed, spend a few minutes with them to gauge how they are going and ask the question: Do you need help? Some students can feel uncertain about asking for homework help because they see their peers around them handing in their homework on time and without concern. As adults, however, we know that this is simply a perception and it is likely that their peers are also struggling. Struggling with homework is a common concern for students, but it doesn't have to be. Speak with

Another Assignment That's Due the Next Day?
The first time that you heard your young student tell you that they couldn't help with the dishes because they had an assignment due the next day, you passed it off as teenage adolescence. When it happened the second time when you asked if they wanted to go to the movies, you were a little skeptical of their intentions. Of course, as soon as they said no to meeting their friends at the mall, you knew something was up! You were right, something is up. However, it isn't the level of your student's time management skills. While some parents adopt the theory that as long as their student completed the assignment on time then it doesn't matter if they complete it during the week over a few sessions or if they finish it all in one night, this behavior is indicative of a much bigger problem, and one that has the potential to cause serious damage to a student's grades. While, yes, the assignment will be completed, consider the following. A gifted and talented student attends each class and listens meticulously to every lesson the teacher provides. During lectures, they take high-quality notes which are so well written that other students use them to review their own work. By all measures, this describes an ideal student who is on course to achieve high marks. Now, consider that this student, as gifted as they are, lacks proper time management skills. Because of this, they are unable to plan their homework, assignments, and test preparations adequately. This sees them completing an essay or assignment which would have and should have taken them a week to finish, within a matter of hours. And worse yet, the hours they are completing the essay are the hours their brain is used to sleeping through, leaving them with a brain that is falling asleep as they write. As you can likely imagine, this doesn't result in a high-quality assignment being handed in to the teacher. All that comes from this behavior is an assignment which in no way represents how much the student has learned throughout the class, their general knowledge in the subject, their learning abilities, or even their interest or excitement in the subject or class. Instead, the teacher receives and is forced to assign a grade to an assignment which isn't an accurate representation of the student's abilities. Of course, this assignment grade is also likely to make up a large part of their overall semester grade, bringing down their engine grade point average because of something simple like planning study sessions.
Tutoring in Santa Clara, CA Can Help
If your student is always rushing around to complete their assignments before they are due, consider this a sign that they need to improve their time management skills.

By Leona Thomas
The first time I went to Dharamsala (McLeod Ganj) in India, I knew only that the Dalai Lama lived there. In my opinion there is no room for adventure if you know everything in advance. I like to be surprised. So I didn't bother to look anything up on the internet. Instead I asked my friend.
I was staying with Amar who lives in the old Tibetan Camp in Majnu Ka Tilla and does most of his business with Tibetans. He told me that buses travelled between Majnu Ka Tilla and Dharamsala every evening and he had some important advice for me.
He said, "Leona, just remember two things. Don't talk to any strangers. And don't listen to any stories the Tibetans tell you." I pointed out that I knew nobody there and would have to talk to strangers. I added that I had already heard all the stories in Nepal. Nobody was going to get anything past me. They turned out to be famous last words...
He recommended a hotel he stays in every everytime he goes to Dharamsala. When I asked if I should book my room before traveling he said not to bother because they always have plenty of space.
The bus ride through Delhi and out into the Indian countryside was quite magical. Exotic buildings were lit up in spectacular countryside. It had a lovely romantic quality. But I was travelling alone. In the early hours of the morning the road began to twist and turn but I didn't give it too much thought. We were deep in the countryside and unable to see anything.
Finally we arrived at the end of the road. A few lights showed a concrete bus station. I began walking. The whole town was in darkness. Two guys asked where I was going and took me there.
Then the fun began.
Amar's hotel was full!
They said to try the place next door but that was full too! I told the hotel staff that I would wait until it got light enough outside to see where I was going and then I would leave. They agreed and brought me some hot water to drink.
About an hour later the staff advised me that they did have a customer checking out at 12 noon if I would like to wait for the room. I agreed.
A hot cup of salty Tibetan tea arrived.
Once I had finished drinking that, they invited me to take rest in a tiny basic room that they were decorating... I settled down for a nap. It was not comfortable but I had not slept well on the bus so I fell into a deep sleep. The staff tried on 3 different occasions to wake me up by banging hard on that door. Finally I heard them.
My room was ready.
When I arrived in my new room the curtains were all closed but I noticed there was a door ahead. I stepped out onto a balcony and got the shock of my life!
In all the conversations I had ever had about Dharamsala, not one person had ever mentioned the landscape! I am used to seeing Tibetan prayer flags waving in the breeze and the buildings were a similar style to the ones in Kathmandu, Nepal. They were nestled in the midst of a lush verdant hillside. Everything was peaceful and definitely Tibetan.
And towering over everything was a majestic snow-capped mountain! The beauty of the scene held me transfixed.
I had been in Dharamsala about one week when I decided it was time to visit the Dalai Lama's temple. As I left my room I heard a Spirit voice tell me someone was waiting to meet me.
The road leading down to the Dalai Lama's temple would probably be interesting to most tourists as there were shops on one side and market stands on the other. Everywhere I looked people were selling Tibetan artefacts. They were trying to persuade me to buy but I knew I could get this stuff for a fraction of the price back in Kathmandu and I wouldn't have to carry it on a plane!
But one shop caught my attention. It had some nice fabrics in the window. I heard a voice from behind me and a few minutes later I was seated inside the shop, facing a young Indian man. We began to talk.
The first thing he told me was that apparently he had designed all the jewellry in the shop and at least half of the fabrics too. Everything was very beautiful and he was too! But I doubted that he was speaking the truth. I smiled sweetly and nodded a bit. I thought, 'I don't believe you.'
He carried on speaking. Apparently, I could act as an agent for the shop and sell things on their behalf. It would be a great business opportunity for me... I let the words wash over me. I had no interest in this either.
But then he said something that had me on the edge of my seat and wide-eyed in wonder!
He proudly announced, "I am like a pirate! I travel everywhere!"
My inner child not only sat up straight but almost jumped out of the chair with pure joy! I heard her voice inside my head, "WOW! A pirate! I never met a pirate before!" And if I had a mirror before me I swear I would have seen my eyes were huge like giant saucers! I could feel her joyful excitement and sparkling magic dancing inside of me. My inner child was definitely interested in this conversation! And she wanted more!
The young Indian spoke again, "Yes, I am like a pirate. A green pirate!"
Now my inner child was even more excited!
I heard her again inside my head, "WOW! A green pirate!" My eyes sparkled and I was on the edge of my chair! After a few minutes' silence, my inner child quietly asked me, "What's a green pirate?" 'That's a good question,' I thought.
"What's a green pirate?" I asked my young Indian friend.
The young man looked stunned and a bit confused. I could almost see his brain ticking over. Then a look of understanding spread over his face.
He replied, "No! Not a green pirate - a green PARROT!"
In 2011, in a small handicrafts shop at Dharamsala (McLeod Ganj), I discovered that I was not as immune to fantastical stories as I had imagined. Maybe if he had been a Tibetan I would have been wiser. But in the end it was a young Indian man from Kashmir who told me the most improbable story I have ever heard in my life.
And I fell for it hook, line and sinker!
Next week
Dharamsala! Part Two
The adventure continues...

The marketers of toothpastes have come up with a new spin that will work on your teeth – toothpaste that helps prevent plaque. Since most American consumers are now aware of oral hygiene and the threat of gum disease, toothpaste manufacturers and marketers have spent upwards of $77 million to sell anti-plaque and tarter control home care products. The media blitz in the dentistry world is on.
Dentists have always known that plaque is the cause of gum disease. And plaque will eventually contribute to the formation of tarter on your tooth. But if you use these new toothpastes, will they work.
Crest and Colgate and other major brands have added a substance that seems to slow the accumulation of tartar on the tooth. You can try it and see for yourself if it works.
But the bottom line for many dentists would be to make sure you're brushing right, no matter what toothpaste you use. A new group of bacteria forms on a tooth every 24 hours, so the object of brushing is to disrupt these colonies. Dental hygiene includes: good tooth brushing techniques, a learned skill that takes practice. However, even the most determined brushing won't always get rid of debris beneath the teeth.
That's why an annual dental cleaning and refresher course on brushing and flossing should bring you up-to-date on the oral health front. And what about those new toothpastes? Can't hurt. Call your dentist today.
Sure, regular cleanings with our office promote good oral hygiene, but did you know it can also prevent a multitude of diseases? That 2 o'clock chair-side rendezvous may not seem nearly as exciting as a late lunch with a friend, but it will be well worth it in the end. Here are 10 really great reasons to stick with your regular dental cleaning schedule!
If it's been more than 6 months since your last check up and cleaning, call your dentist to schedule an appointment today!

Those who are parents know that there are numerous books devoted to what to expect when you are expecting that new addition to the family. To a lesser extent yet quite similar in importance, there are several things you need to anticipate when starting a home based business. Considering that for many a new entrepreneur this is a major shift in life as it was known up to that point in time, you will need to understand that several life changes will go hand in hand with this monumental decision. The benefits you will reap from starting a home based business are numerous. They are the ups that make the sleepless night well worth it! You will become the master of your own destiny and in so doing of your own schedule. No longer bound to arbitrarily set work schedules, you will have the freedom to work as you see fit and skip work as you desire. Time no longer revolves around getting to work on time, but instead you can finally put family and also yourself first and the work second. Yet at the same time you need to remember that with this freedom also comes the need for discipline. Skipping work too often will translate into lower profits and thus a severely curtailed income, missed business opportunities, and in some instances even missed deadlines! To counteract the pressure associated with deadlines and chasing opportunities, commonly referred to as the business downs, you may wish to set a loose but workable schedule for yourself. Note the kinds of things you would like to accomplish during that particular day. Make note of the activities that will help you to grow your business and separate them from those that simply maintain a status quo. While the former should always receive first billing, the latter may be skipped occasionally. By defining the priorities you will not be spinning your wheels and become consumed with business downs and gradually allow them to overtake the ups! Another down you will need to honestly anticipate is the ability to turn a profit. Instant profit is unheard of, and while some business models will lend themselves to seeing results rather quickly, others will require some time before a steady stream of income sets in. Patience is not just a virtue in this case but also a necessity to see you through the downs and keep you focused on the ups while you are plugging away at making a profit. The ability to be organized is perhaps the backbone of any successful home based business, and while you do not need to be an organizational wunderkind, it is imperative that you learn how to organize your home and your business. Good organizational skills will literally cut hours from the time you need to spend administering your business on a weekly basis! Last but not least, take the time to set realistic goals and celebrate each achieved goal as a new milestone. By preparing yourself thusly for the ups and downs of running a home based business, you success is all but guaranteed.

Last month, Ryan Quarles said he would be reviewing the U.S, Department of Agriculture's 'Statement of Principles' to see how it relates to Kentucky's own pilot hemp research program.
A provision in the 2014 Farm Bill allowed states to grow hemp for research purposes, but did not remove the cannabis-related plant from the controlled substances list, giving federal agencies authority over restrictions.

Check Aadhar Card Status online if you have not received your aadhar card or delayed by UID to issue you a aadhar card - Current Aadhar Card Processing Status
- An Aadhar card is an unique identification card given to you by the central government of India. It is a card that is responsible for your individuality in this country. Based on the biometric system of recognizing this card is actually provided in 16 states of India now. To go to the site, you can visit https://resident.uidai.net.in/web/resident/check-aadhaar-status
How to apply for your Aadhar card:An appointment has to be made with the regional office. Once that date is given, the person has to personally visit the regional office and get the application process completed. In this process, the person has to present their documents to the verifier and then get their retina and fingerprint scanned. They also have to get their signature scanned. The details provided by them would be verified and then after the verification process is over they can get their Aadhar card mailed to their homes. In between the verification process, one feels the necessity of checking their Aadhar card status then,
This is how step by step they can check their status online:
- At first you need to visit the official page of Aadhar card.
- Then you need to visit the 'Status' page on the website.
- You would be given an acknowledgement slip at the regional centre itself while you went there to apply for it. You need to keep this particular slip handy because there would be a box visible asking for this particular acknowledgement slip number.
- You need to enter the acknowledgement slip number in its respective box.
- Also, there would be the time and date of when the acknowledgement slip was generated on the acknowledgement slip itself, you need to enter that particular detail in its' respective box too.
- After these particular steps, there would be a box asking you to put in 'CAPTCHA' provided for you.
- Once you are through with these steps all you need to do is click on the check status button.
- You would be shown the status of your application.
Points you need to keep in mind while checking the status online:
- You would definitely keep your acknowledgement slip with you; with this particular number you cannot get the status.
- The acknowledge number should be filled in very carefully, and the time and date should also be put in. The time and date of acknowledgement slip would be provided on the left-hand side of the slip.
- You need to first put in the 14 digit number and in the same space after the number only can you put the time and date.
- You should have the same mobile number which you have used while enrolling for the Aadhar card. Or else you cannot get your OTP.
You can also check the status of your Aadhar card using your registered mobile number or your email id. This is the best-given process though as lots of time the results do not come through the text message.
