Respect for the ethnic and cultural diversity, the supported civic education in the total and extended citizenship, the curricular pertinence for the different social and cultural realities with which the children arrive at the schools, as well as the promotion of communicative practices based on the respect for each other and the reciprocity in the understanding are basic elements that the school must have today.
It is necessary to teach the child from a very early age that we do not discriminate people because of their race or ethnic origin. It is necessary to fight against racism rooted for centuries in our cultures.
It is necessary to teach the child to respect diversity, to understand that diversity is present in different cultures and races, that it is different because we were educated in different cultures, but as we are all human beings our values differentiate us.
It is necessary to teach them to love their friends no matter if they are black, Chinese, white, Arab or native, to respect their cultures and traditions.
The educator has before him the crucial task of educating the respect towards diversity, because there are more families that emigrate to the great cities or other countries in search of a better future every day, and he must instil in his children the acceptance of the children of those families, their cultures and traditions, and to integrate them to his group of children.
It is necessary to respect cultures and traditions from different ethnic groups, but it is necessary to make the school integrate them. This means that we have from a very early age to educate the children with respect for diversity.
ACTIVITY No 1
Summary of the activity: The educator will explain to the children about the customs and ways of life of the children from other cultures, he will present pictures, photos or films of children with their typical costumes. In the second part of the activity there will be a workshop called "For the children of the world", letters will be written, stories will be told, drawings, cards, poetries etc. In the third part of the activity there will be a festival with costumes and typical dances of other countries and finally (4th part) there will be a conversation about the activity.
• To develop in the children notions on cultural diversity.
• To develop in the children notions on racial diversity.
• To develop feelings of respect towards cultural and racial diversity.
• Conversation
• Observation
• Dance
• Practical Actions
Material Resources: Paper, pencils or pens, fine cardboard, glue, watercolours, typical costumes.
Development of the activity:
1st Part
The first part consists of explaining to the children that in other countries of the world there are children who belong to other cultures that are different from our own, that they speak in different languages, that they dress with different clothes and that they have other customs.
We can show our children some pictures, photos or videotapes, emphasizing the ethnic, racial and cultural differences.
We will speak to them about the Asian children with their oblique eyes, their yellow skin, their way to walk with short steps, their language, their traditional suits, their houses.
The African children, with their black skin, curly hair, their way of speaking, of dressing, etc.
The natives, their coppery skin, their clothes, places where they live, their dialects, their customs and some of their traditions etc.
The Arab children, the colour of their skin, their way of speaking and of dressing, etc.
The Esquimo children, their oblique eyes, the colour of their skin, their way to dress and to feed themselves, their houses, etc.
This part is summarized explaining to the children that all the children of the world are our friends, that it is not possible to think that because they are different from us, they are not good or intelligent.
He will explain that the people are measured by their personal values (because they are good or bad, friends or enemies, generous or selfish etc), and not by the clothes, and/or the colour of their skin, or because they are rich or poor.
2nd Part
Here we will hold a workshop to make, with the help of the educator, letters for the friends of the world. Others will make cards, book markers, etc. to give them to the friends of the world. Some will make drawings, always highlighting that they will be given to other children as flatteries.
In this part the educator will emphasize again the fact of the existence of a cultural and racial diversity, (children of different customs and ways of life, of different cultural traditions and children with a different colour skin), the importance of not discriminating anybody because of the colour of their skin or because they have other customs and ways of life.
3rd Part
The educator will organize a festival of typical costumes and dances of some countries with the participation of the children and their parents.
4th Part
There will be a conversation summarizing the, emphasizing the questions:
Did you like the activity?
What have we learned?
What can we say about other children of the world?
Why shouldn't we reject other children because they are white, black, coppery or yellow?
Why shouldn't we reject other children because they dress differently, or because they speak another language, etc.?
The children will express themselves and later the educator will summarize emphasizing the necessity to respect all the people, all the children of the world have the same rights, according to what was decided in world-wide summits (The educator will explain that they are important meetings where representative of the children from different countries discuss the problems of the childhood in the world). In one of these summits, the chart of human rights was written and one of them is not to be discriminated for cultural and racial differences.
ACTIVITY No 2
Summary of the activity: This activity is to explain and make the children of the group understand the human right that talks about respect for diversity.
Objectives: That the children know respect towards diversity as an acquired right.
• Explanation
• Questions and answers
Material Resources: The document of the conventions on child's rights and human rights, to read only to the children about respect for diversity.
Development of the activity:
1st Part
The educator will read the text that talks about respect for diversity and later he will explain with simple words to the children:
"What is a right? One says that we have a right or rights when we can do things that nobody can forbid us. We have them by the mere fact of being people, by having been born, and they are guaranteed by the laws. For that reason we say that "it is not fair" when something is unjust, when someone has done something to us that we do not deserve".
"All the human beings, also the elderly people, have rights. The most important are the human rights, also called fundamental rights. One of them is the right to be respected and not to be rejected because of sex, race, age, religion or birthplace. They are called human rights because they are for all the people, boys or girls, women or men, independently from where they have been born or from where they live. Although, unfortunately, there are countries where they are not respected as much as in other countries".
2nd Part
The children are invited to ask whatever they want to know about this right.
The educator will explain to them that in the previous activity they had already spoken about respect for diversity (difference of races and cultures between the men and children of the world), the right for all the children of the world to not be discriminated.
Later he tells an anecdote to them:
"The children also have this and other rights. Not long ago, in 1989, in a city called Vienna, children's representatives from different countries met to speak and to write down the rights of the children.
This meeting is known as the Convention of the United Nations on Child's Rights, there they spoke on the basic rights of the child as far as the right to life, to have schools where to learn and the protection against bad people who in some countries exploit them because they put them to carry out hard works and they mistreat them."
Next there will be a group meeting so that the children can express what they understand about what has been said in the two activities.
ACTIVITY No 3
Summary of the activity: The activity consists of explaining and showing to the children the customs and traditions of the people who live in other countries.
• That the children know the customs and traditions of other countries.
• To teach the children to respect the customs and traditions of other countries.
• Explanation
• Observation
Development of the activity:
1st Part
The teacher will explain to the children the customs of other countries.
"If you spend your holidays in the same place you will notice that the same celebrations, music, dances and colourful typical suits are repeated. They are traditions because they are kept through time, and the elderly people are in charge of transmitting them. Do you like those customs and rites? They are important because they are exclusive of a town; they are its signs of identity and a sample of human diversity.
Frequently, many corners and streets of Latin America and Spain are filled with people who meet to share their emotions and customs: sometimes the reasons are religious, other times the reason is pagan, that is to say, nonreligious".
2nd Part
Photos, pictures or videotapes with multicultural contents must be shown.
Later, we will use the images, to tell the children about multicultural experiences, some examples can be:
"Did you know that in many places the arrival of the spring is celebrated? In the Andes the indigenous ceremony Tumarina takes place when the fields begin to bloom: the women gather flowers, they submerge them in the river and with the mixture that they obtain they wet the people's heads. In this way they attract good harvests.
In Seville, a Spanish city, there is the April Fair: the bullfights and the rejoneo (the art to fight bulls on horseback) are highlighted, the singing and dances in the small houses, where the women wear their faralaes suits (with colourful flounces) and they drink fine wine or manzanilla (dry sherry). And the arrival of the spring is also celebrated with the Fallas of Valencia (the festival of Saint Joseph in Valencia): the streets of this Spanish city are filled with enormous sculptures of papier-mâché that are burned on 19th March and they are called ninots (they are caricature figures of politicians, artists, or present time people).
In the Charra Party in Mexico, the riders dress in a very particular way: they wear jarano (a hat with a wide wing and high crown) and a short waistcoat. They sing Mexican folk songs, like the one of "Adelita". Did you know that the boys and the girls love to participate in the scrimmage (a rider contest)?
The Sanfermines of Pamplona, which start on 7th July, are one of the more universal Spanish festivals. But, do you know the party of the Moors and Christians? Do you know the indigenous ceremonies that worship the Pachamama (the Earth)? Did you know that some natives construct their houses when the Moon is full so that the wood lasts longer?
3rd Part
We will show photos, pictures or videotapes, so that the children can contemplate the diversity of the celebrations and religious customs, the educator can use the following stories:
"When the Latin American countries were colonized, they assumed many of the catholic festivities that were celebrated in Spain. Which is the patron saint of your locality? Did you know that Saint Anthony is the patron of the animals and that every 17th January the mascots are blessed in his name in the churches?
The 25th December is Christmas. Do you sing carols and go to the Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve? In Mexico, the festivities begin nine nights before the birth of Jesus, and one says that it is time 'of Posadas' (Inns). Do you look for an inn? Do not give up if they take long in opening the door, as it happened to the Virgin and Saint Joseph... Later, celebration and piñatas (container hung up and hit with a stick to release sweets inside)!
The Three Wise Men arrive on 6th January, after the procession of the previous day, and the eating the 'Roscón de Reyes' (large ring-shaped cake baked for Epiphany) is celebrated. How many pairs of shoes have they filled up with gifts and sweets?
In the days of Carnival, groups of people disguise themselves and cheer the atmosphere up with dances and masquerades, and they parade in great multicolour floats, next to carnival figures with large heads and giants. Do you know a better way to prepare yourself for the religious fast of the Lent?
The religious brotherhoods are associations of people who organize the Easter celebrations. In the processions they take out images to stage the passion, death and resurrection of Christ. In Latin America, the grounds of the streets are decorated with flower offerings, and in Andalusia, they improvise saetas (flamenco songs of Arab influence).
The festivity of Saint John the Baptist (24th June), date in which the summer begins, is celebrated in different ways: in Latin America, with ritual baths and buckets full of water turning upside down in the air. In Spain, fire is chosen to be jumped over it or to throw objects to the flames".
4th Part
Photos, pictures or videotapes about dances and pop music.
"Do you want to know the Latin American rhythms? There are many more, but it is necessary to find out about a few... Accompanied by an instrument! The quena (flute), the harp, marimba (xylophone), the maraca...
In Mexico they have the rancheras (Mexican folk song) of the mariachi musicians. The rumba, the salsa and cha-cha-cha are played in the Caribbean beaches. The merengue is Dominican. In Panama and Colombia they follow the rhythm of the cumbia (music and dance typical of the Caribbean coast of Colombia). A lively samba is listened to in the Andes. In Argentina, they dance the tango... When we are in Brazil, we have to dance some samba, bossa nova or lambada.
Those customs that we have learned today, when you go to visit other countries or when at school, or in the street, or the neighbourhood you see a person from those places, you have to respect them, because you would not like that other people made fun of your customs."
At the end of the activities there will be a great meeting for the children to express their criteria on what they have seen or heard, and they suggest different activities for the following days regarding the subject of diversity. The educator will write down such suggestions so that later he reaches an agreement with the children about what they are going to do those days.
ACTIVITY No 4
Summary of the activity: The children will recite poems and listen to songs or music from other countries of the world.
Objectives: To develop in the children feelings of respect and friendship for children from other countries.
• Listening

2nd Part
The children will recite the first poem and later, holding hands in a circle, they will recite the second.
3rd Part
They will listen to songs and typical music of some countries (those that the educator can obtain).
4th Part
There will be a conversation about the content of the poems and the songs.
The educator will ask:
For whom was the poem?
Would you give some of your things to people from other countries?
Why must all the children of the world be friends?
The same thing will be done with the songs.
The educator will summarize:
"All the children of the world must be friends, everybody wants and has the right to live peacefully and that their traditions and culture are respected".
ACTIVITY No 5
Summary of the activity: The children will make a choir with the title: "Give me your hand". Later the educator will explain the meaning of the words.
Objectives: To develop in the children notions about diversity and unity.
• Explanation
• Choir
• Circle
Material Resources: To decorate the classroom where the activity is going to be, it can be with flowers and drawings made by the children.
Development of the activity:
1st Part
It will consist of the teaching of the choir to the children.
All the children or half of the group, as the teacher likes, will make a circle, when the child says the first verse; everybody holds hands and begins to turn around.
2nd Part
The educator, after teaching the choir to the children, will analyze with them its meaning so that they get to know well the message.
3rd Part
The children will do the activity and invite their parents and all the personnel of the school.
The educator will explain to the guests that the intention of this activity is to demonstrate friendship among all the children of the world, how in spite of their diversity they can obtain unity so that no child is discriminated.
ACTIVITY No 6
Summary of the activity: Several critical situations will be presented to know what attitude the children would assume, finally there will be a conversation on these attitudes.
Objectives: To evaluate the knowledge and feelings that the children have developed regarding respect for diversity.
• Story
• Questions and answers
Material Resources: Texts of stories, the classroom book of anecdotes, photos and videos.
Development of the activity:
1st Part
The educator will present to the children the following critical situations:
What would do you if a black child does demonstrations of affection and friendship to you?
What would you do if an indigenous child wants to be your friend?
What would you do if an Asian child sends a friendship letter to you?
If you are at a party and a Latin child invites you to dance, what would you do?
What would you do if you are walking in the street and a child asks you for money?
What do you say and do if you go along a central avenue in Madrid and see a native dressed in his typical clothes?
What would you do if a new child arrives to your classroom who because he is from another country speaks your language badly?
How would you treat a child who is new in your street and does not know your games?
What would you do if you are in a street in the city or in your community and you see several people from other countries and they ask you for help to find the address of the place where they want to go?
There can be as many critical situations as the educator likes, as long as there is always the need for the child to express a criteria, opinion or experience regarding the multicultural experience that is presented to him.
The educator has to try that all the children express their criteria, and he can work in an individual way, in small groups, or in a meeting, according to what he considers convenient.
2nd Part
The children will do a critical analysis of the answers given by them, they will be guided by the educator.
3rd Part
Once the children have exposed their opinions, the educator will summarize the activity clarifying anything needed, and enriching each of the critical answers and opinions given by the children.

The role of foreign financial institutions in implementing Iran's nuclear agreement with world powers could be the most critical issue at the upcoming meeting of the commission on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Russian Permanent Representative to International Organizations in Vienna Vladimir Voronkov said.
"I think that the role of financial institutions in the implementation of the agreement will be a very burning issue. Now the process of unfreezing economic relations against Iran is going on as part of lifting of multilateral sanctions. But the US banks are not active enough and don't work effectively on providing financial mechanisms for this process," the Russian official was quoted as saying by TASS.
Voronkov noted that the US economic sanctions against Iran "create an unfavorable climate".
The Joint Commission's meeting will be held in Vienna on April 25 with the representatives of Iran and P5+1 (the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany) in attendance.
The meetings on JCPOA issues are held regularly every three months.

"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." ~ James Madison, Federalist Papers 47, 30 January 1788.
Only in America: George Orwell's novel, titled 1984 reveals "double speak" and massive surveillance which is now being used 99% of the time. "Double speaks" expanded version = elections, secret files, lies, fabrications, censorship, false flags, propaganda, trashed e-mails brought back to life, mainstream media blackouts, Google censorship, political correctness, disinformation, and finally, "secret justice", (i.e. when bogus "national security issues" prevent a Jury investigation or evidence from being introduced to a judge.)
And this is all done in the name of bogus legalism intended to increase the power of government and their job security. I call it Babylon revisited.
We the people are the public and they have the right to know the truth and especially so when there are hundreds and hundreds of state and federal agencies which exalt their "lordship" but regularly hide behind their own major corruption which may include other lives and livelihoods being lost due to the purposeful intent of government agencies and their mission which is meant to coverup their own unlawful deeds.
And when the federal courts and judges get involved, more often than not, they will favor their own, which is the government.
Therefore, it is expedient that the American people be protected from a common occurrence that happens when courts traditionally use a tactic claiming that there is a "national security issue" while
shielding government corruption. Consequently, by blocking key incriminating evidence, government becomes insulated from wrong doing on a regular basis.
The "Fast and Furious" debacle is a perfect example.
Although the Freedom of Information Act was passed in order to prevent government stonewalling, in numerous court cases, this act is worthless when a private person such as an investigating journalist or a whistleblower is denied key information which would expose unlawful and secret government agendas.
Finally, in court proceedings, when these instances arise , there is a clear infringement of due process for the common rights of the people who seek justice. One of governments weakest, but regular defenses is that by allowing secret federal evidence to be submitted, it will, in the end, compromise national security and "likely cause irreparable harm" even when it wouldn't. But then, what about the irreparable harm that will be inflicted upon a common person who will lose their legal battle because of evidence that is blocked by a federal judge?
Here is a case in point.
"Robert J. Maxwell had the most bizarre experience of all. He sued the First National Bank of Maryland for constructive discharge after he refused to assist in an illegal arms transaction by a bank customer whom he determined to be a CIA front. Maxwell claimed he was so threatened by the CIA because of his resistance, that he became ill and had to leave his job. A federal judge in Maryland not only prohibited Maxwell from questioning his bank employers about the CIA relationship, but indicated that Maxwell, himself, "could not testify" as to his own personal knowledge of the customer's status and the events surrounding the loss of his job. If there was nothing to hide, then the judge should have looked at all of the evidence.
If we don't allow citizens with grievances to pursue remedies in the courtroom, how do we ensure those who are wronged will ever receive justice? As Chief Justice John Marshall declared in Marbury v. Madison, citing common law tradition and Blackstone's Commentaries, the entire legal system could crumble "if laws furnish no remedy for the violation of a vested legal right. Preserving the right to a fair trial is particularly crucial when the government is a party to legal action, for if there is one fear the framers of the nation's legal system shared, it was a fear of despotism." To put it another way, it is "unlimited power."
Americans learned this lesson firsthand after decades of arbitrary British colonial rule. While common law guaranteed jury trials to British subjects, it did not apply to the colonies. That is why the Founders wrote the jury trial guarantee into the Bill of Rights.
As Justice Byron White, a man known as neither a great liberal nor an enemy of the political establishment, noted some two centuries later:
"Those who wrote our constitutions knew from history and experience that it was necessary to protect against. . . judges too responsive to the voice of higher authority. The framers of the constitution strove to create an independent judiciary but insisted upon further protection against arbitrary action. . . . The jury trial provisions of the Federal and State Constitutions reflect a fundamental decision about the exercise of official power–a reluctance to entrust plenary powers over the life and liberty of the citizens to one judge or to a group of judges."
Despite the Constitution's Framers' intent, the United States does not have a government consisting of three coequal branches. Rather, Americans suffer under a judicial tyranny.

East Haddam is a town in Middlesex County, Connecticut, positioned along the lovely Connecticut River. This town is home to several nature preserves and state parks that you and your canine companion can explore. One of these is the Machimoodus State Forest, which offers trails with great views of the Moodus and Salmon Rivers, cliffs, and swamps. This accessible nature combined with the three veterinary clinics in town make it easy to have a happy healthy puppy in East Haddam!
East Haddam has shown its love to the dogs in the community by creating the East Haddam Dog Park! This dog park gives the neighborhood puppers a safe environment to run, play, and make furry friends. The park is located at the old ball field at the Town Beach, with a great view of the Moodus Reservoir. The park has two separate fenced off areas, one for large breeds and one for the little guys. Waste bags are provided, but don't forget drinking water.
If you want to kick back in nature with you best pal, go check out the Wolf's Den Family Campground. This campground is sitting on 35 acres in the beautiful Connecticut River Valley. There are electricity and water hookups, restrooms, picnic tables and firepits. Leashed dogs are welcome!
With all of these pet friendly amenities and activities, you and your dog will feel right at home in East Haddam!
Possibly one of the favorite places to get deep into nature in East Haddam is the Devil's Hopyard State Park. Accessible from Hopyard Road, this large park features 860 acres of wilderness divided by the Eight Mile River, and about 15 miles of hiking trails. The main attraction in this park is Chapman Falls, a waterfall that drops 60 feet into three cascades. It's even considered one of the top ten waterfalls in Connecticut. Your dog is welcome to join you as you hike, picnic, fish, and watch the wildlife in this state park. Fido needs to stay leashed at all times and be picked up after.
For a great place to enjoy some quiet meditation in nature, head over to the Brainard Homestead State Park. This 25 acres state park is located in the Moodus neighborhood of East Haddam. In this park, you'll find large grassy meadows and wildflowers surrounded by forests. There are pathways winding through this beautiful area that you and your dog can enjoy. The park also offers great bird watching, and views of the Connecticut River flowing past. Dogs are welcome, as long as they stay leashed and are picked up after. There are no amenities here, so be sure to bring drinking water for you and your dog.
The town of East Haddam has another unique place to take you dog for a hike! This is the Gillette Castle State Park in the neighborhood of Hadlyme. What makes this state park unique is that it was once the property of the actor William Gillette. Here you can take in views of his stone mansion with it's unique decor and medieval style-facade. On the property, you can find 3 miles of hiking trails with river views, trestles and tunnels. Amenities include a visitor center, picnic shelters and food concessions. Your pup is allowed on the trails and in the picnic areas as long as he or she stays leashed, but is not allowed in the buildings or on the decks.
Just across the border into the Town Center of Colchester, you can find a puppy paradise! This neighborhood is just 20 minutes away from East Haddam, and is home to the Colchester Dog Park. The Colchester Dog Park is a place where doggos can romp around in glorious off-leash freedom, and enjoy some pawsitive socialization. There are separate fenced off areas for large and small breeds, water bowls and picnic tables. Waste bags are available at the dog park as well, so please pick up after your pup! If you'd like to go a little further, the Airline State Park Trail runs alongside the dog park. This trail is part of the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a non-profit organization that converts former railways into pathways you and your dog can enjoy! Dogs need to stay leashed when they're not in the fenced in area of the dog park.
If you head west and cross the Connecticut River, you'll find the neighboring town of Haddam, and another place to get out into the great outdoors with your pooch! This town is home to the Cockaponset State Forest. This is Connecticut's second largest state forest, and has tons of trails for hiking, skiing, and biking. The trails range from easy to difficult, so people and pups of all fitness levels can enjoy. After working up a sweat, your dog will love to romp through the water in the creeks or the reservoir. Leashed dogs are welcome to enjoy with their two-legged friends! When you stomach is growling, head over to Cooking Co, also in Haddam. Here you can dig into a sandwich beside Fido at one of the dog friendly outdoor tables.

MARIA BARTIROMO, host: Well, the high price of oil is having a direct impact on the economy, and it may also become an issue in the upcoming presidential election. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is out with a new book, "The Conscience of a Liberal." Krugman teaches economics and international affairs at Princeton University and he was recently named Columnist of the Year by Editor and Publisher magazine. Congratulations, Paul.
Mr. PAUL KRUGMAN ("The Conscience of a Liberal" author): Well, thank you.
BARTIROMO: Good to have you with us. Let's talk about oil, and the way you look at it in the book is really the expense on middle class. The population is spending more money for oil.
Mr. KRUGMAN: Yeah. I mean, one of the themes of the book is the middle class hasn't done very well at all, and that's accentuated right now because oil prices fall more heavily. Now, we have a consumer price index which is supposed to measure typical consumption, but the lower down you are on the income scale, the more these oil prices hurt. And you--look, you know, people look at some of the macro numbers--4.7 percent unemployment, look likes a pretty good economy. People feel lousy about it. Partly that's long term trends of growing inequality, middle class left behind, and partly it's energy.
BARTIROMO: What kind of an impact are you expecting then on the economy? Because it's amazing to me that we have not seen a bigger impact on the stock market with $90-a-barrel oil.
Mr. KRUGMAN: If you had told us--you know, if you had told me four years ago that we'd have $90-a-barrel oil and we wouldn't already be in a recession, I'd be amazed. I think we may be hitting a cracking point, but it's amazing how well we've been able to hold up. On the other hand, 90 may not be the end of the story.
BARTIROMO: Let's talk about the upcoming election. And you wrote an op-ed on Friday in the Times that you're watching and you were surprised to see business actually walking away from the GOP. How significant really is that?
Mr. KRUGMAN: All of the stories--remember, it's just a couple of years since we were all being told permanent Republican majority. You know, 2004 election was decisive. It's never going to change. All of that assumed that the Republicans were going to have dominant--financial dominance, that business was going to support the GOP. Now, at least so far this election cycle, aside from oil and gas, there is no GOP industry. There--even industries like drugs, pharmaceuticals, is splitting its money evenly and most are supporting the Democrats. What that's telling you is that business, which was supposed to be the core of the coalition behind a GOP majority, has bailed out on the party. Not just on Bush but on the party.
BARTIROMO: Well, I don't know about that. I mean, look, the bottom line for business, I think, in many scenarios, is lower taxes, right? They want corporate taxes in check. They don't want their taxes to go up. We will see taxes go up, right, if we were to see the Democratic Party take control?
Mr. KRUGMAN: Yeah, but, you know, business also needs competent stability and they don't--the whole way--during the Republican dominance, the GOP tried to turn K Street into a subsidiary of the Republican Party rather than the other way around. Business didn't like that. Yeah, taxes will go up. No question. None of--all of that...
BARTIROMO: How much will they go up, Paul?
Mr. KRUGMAN: If you're making more than 200,000 a year, you're going to paying Clinton-era taxes. That's pretty clear from any of the Democratic candidates.
BARTIROMO: So 15 percent goes up to 30 percent.
Mr. KRUGMAN: Well, no, wait. Thirty-five percent goes up to 39.6 on top marginal rate. Fifteen percent on capital gains, probably--certainly goes back to 20 and probably to 28.
BARTIROMO: That's what I--yeah, that's what I was just saying.
Mr. KRUGMAN: Dividends probably go back to being taxed as ordinary income. You know, all of that to pay for universal health care.
BARTIROMO: Let's talk about universal health care. You know, we had on the maker of "Sicko," the film, Michael Moore...
Mr. KRUGMAN: Yeah.
BARTIROMO: ...you know. And he was talking about how, you know, other economies around the world--Europe, Canada--you know, they have universal health care and it works. Do you think it works?
Mr. KRUGMAN: I think it works. Whole chapter in "Conscience of a Liberal," my new book, about that. There are lots of measures. You know, people talk about the horrors of these health care systems. It's mostly imaginary, and the ones--France--Michael Moore uses France. France is a terrific health care system. It beats the US or matches it on every dimension and it costs only about 60 percent as much per person as ours does.
BARTIROMO: But I've got to say to you, Paul, if I get sick, I want to get sick in this country, I don't want to get sick in France.
Mr. KRUGMAN: My only reason that I wouldn't want to get sick in France is that I don't speak French. Otherwise, the high end care is as good as ours...
BARTIROMO: Right.
Mr. KRUGMAN: ...and, in many ways, the basic care is better. Germany is also--you know, this is--it's funny. Rudy Giuliani says, you know, if Hillary comes in we'll have French health care. French health care is terrific. It's--and it's--and of course there are no uninsured French citizens.
BARTIROMO: Yeah. So what is the plan on the Republican side for health care?
Mr. KRUGMAN: They're going to cut taxes so as to make people buy insurance policies with bigger deductibles and bigger co-pays and somehow that's going to solve the problem. It's--the Republicans believe that the problem with American health care is that people have too much insurance. I'm sorry. They--I--there's a logic to that, but it's crazy fundamentally.
BARTIROMO: Let me ask you about the broad economy right now. I want to ask you what you think of it and where we are right here because when you get, you know, differing--we just had segment on right before you and we looked at, on the one hand, you've got slowing growth--we know that. The US is slowing.
Mr. KRUGMAN: Yeah.
BARTIROMO: On the other hand you've got sky-high oil prices and other raw materials prices going higher, so there's an inflation issue. Where are you on all this?
Mr. KRUGMAN: I have to say I've been a little rattled--not in the way you might think--I've been rattled by the fact that the economy holds up as well as it does given housing bust has gone, you know, as badly, even worse, than I expected. Had all these financial ramifications. Oil prices are high. But we don't actually see yet in the data what looks like a recession, just a slowdown. And it may feel like a recession to a lot of people, but I'm not quite sure. We seem to be running on fumes. But we seem to do awfully well at running on fumes. So I'm--I have to admit a little bit of bafflement.
BARTIROMO: So you don't think we're going to go through a recession, or do you?
Mr. KRUGMAN: I think--you know, one in three chance, but it's--I--if I have to make a forecast, then my record is, like everybody's, pretty bad on this. I'd say we're heading for what we used to call a growth recession. The economy's still growing but unemployment is rising and people feel pretty lousy.
BARTIROMO: All right. We'll leave it there. Not a great point to leave it on, Paul.
Mr. KRUGMAN: OK. Well, sorry. I wish I was more upbeat.
BARTIROMO: Good to have you with us. Good luck with the book and congratulations to you.
Mr. KRUGMAN: Thanks so much.
BARTIROMO: Thanks for joining us. Author/columnist Paul Krugman. Coming up next, we'll take a look at the news this week that will move Wall Street and have an impact on you and your wallet. And remembering a grim anniversary. It was 20 years ago that Wall Street did something it doesn't want to do again.

Bread Upon The Waters : Chapter 4 : The Employers Try an injunction
Revolt Library >> Anarchism >> Bread Upon The Waters >> Chapter 00004
(1896 - 1965) ~ Anarchist, Feminist Organizer and ILGWU Leader : ...an anarchist, feminist labor organizer and vise president within the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. Born Rakhel Peisoty in Derazhnia, Ukraine in 1896 to a family of grain merchants, Pesotta was well educated during her childhood and, influenced by People's Will, would eventually adopt anarchist views. (From : Anarchy Archives.)
• "I had no ambition to hold executive authority. Valuing my own freedom, I wanted to avoid getting into harness, and to keep from becoming enmeshed in inner-circle politics. Too, I felt that I could serve the cause of my fellow-unionists just as effectively as a rank-and-file member. And it was my contention that the voice of a solitary woman on the General Executive Board would be a voice lost in the wilderness." (From : "Bread Upon the Waters," by Rose Pesotta.)
• "Soon after the 1929 stock market crash 30,000 persons in that city were jobless. Some organized the Unemployed Citizens' League, which set the pace for similar self-help groups all over the United States. Harvesting fruit and vegetable crops on a sharing basis, it set up various co-operative enterprises, which, however, were opposed by business men, who feared these would cut into their profits." (From : "Bread Upon the Waters," by Rose Pesotta.)
• "In the brief span of its life, the IWW produced men who became internationally known and whose names were torches of inspiration in many lands. Most of them paid a high price for their fame, some with their lives." (From : "Bread Upon the Waters," by Rose Pesotta.)
Chapter 4
HIRED THUGS APPEARED in front of the strike-bound garment factory buildings as another week began. Ostensibly their job was to protect "non-striking" workers; actually, they were on hand to foment disturbances. Clashes were provoked by these "guards" as they led in people who had never worked in the dress industry before, to replace the striking workers. Girl strikers were arrested and charged with disturbing the peace.
Representatives of both sides conferred on Monday with Campbell MacCulloch, executive secretary of the National Recovery Administration's state board. He proposed a three-month compromise plan to end the strike. We could see only danger in that proposal. Early and specific action was vital to us; more waiting would mean a tired and disgusted rank-and-file, and final acceptance, through sheer weariness, of unfavorable terms. The wearing-down process is a well-known tactic on the industrial battlefield. We rejected the plan quickly. To our surprise, the employers didn't favor it either. Next day MacCulloch was reported to have "tossed the strike situation into the lap of Washington officials."
On Tuesday evening, after every one else had gone, Paul Berg, secretary, Harry Scott, manager of the cloakmakers' locals, and I lingered at strike headquarters to clear routine details and ascertain where we needed reinforcements. Our desks were behind a railing.
About 9 o'clock a short man with a cast in his eye came in and asked: "Is Rose Pesotta here?"
"No," one of the boys answered promptly.
"When will she be in?"
"I don't know."
He inquired also for Israel Feinberg, Harry Scott, and Paul Berg They didn't know when any of those gentlemen would come in.
"They don't tell us everything. Come back in the morning."
"No," he said. "I'll wait around for a while."
He sat down. After some 45 minutes of cooling his heels, he placed four folded papers on the railing.
"If any of these people come in tonight," he admonished us, "be sure to tell them about this. It's important. There's a jail sentence waiting if they don't obey this order."
When we were certain the process server had left, we read the injunction. Issued on behalf of the Paramount Dress Company, among other things it prohibited the four of us and all other members of the ILGWU from "intimidating or harassing" any of the employes of that corporation. The Paramount shop was one of several factories in the building at 719 South Los Angeles Street, in front of which the clashes had been promoted by the "guards" on Monday.
Obviously this action was an attempt to demoralize us and end the picketing. The manufacturers were using the Paramount firm as a cat's-paw.
I knew that picketing must go on at No. 719, injunction or no injunction. Our lines must be kept intact. We would have to work fast. Without taking time to consult our lawyers or Vise-President Feinberg, my superior, I decided that we would stage a demonstration at the Paramount building next morning that the employers would not forget.
We sped to the homes of key members, instructing them to line up every possible picket in front of "719" at 6:30 next morning.
By the time the Paramount Dress Company opened its doors on Wednesday, over a thousand of our people were massed on the sidewalk. Scores of cloakmakers augmented the striking dressmakers' ranks, but the great majority of the marching pickets were girls and women.
Captain William (Red) Hynes, his assistant, Detective Lieutenant George Pfeiffer, other members of the "Red Squad," and a large detachment of uniformed policemen, were powerless against that mass of unionists. The police had decreed that our pickets must walk two abreast, but they couldn't enforce this rule. They had forbidden the pickets to call "Scab! " But when private cars owned or hired by the employers appeared, bringing in strike-breakers, no one could prevent the pickets from yelling that epithet in lusty chorus. Pent-up emotions were loosed. The hired thugs were on the job. There were fights in the center of the milling crowd, and shouts and screams.
Though the injunction applied to all members of the ILGWU, the police arrested only five strikers÷all women÷and then charged them not with violating the court order, but with disorderly conduct.
The employers saw the point of the demonstration: We had the strength of militant members. They realized that any further use of the injunction would win increasing public sympathy for the strikers. It was the only injunction during that strike.
Shortly after the walkout, a pleasant visitor had come to our headquarters÷a slim, fair-haired young man, dressed so simply that he might have been one of our own members. He introduced himself as Jerry Voorhis. I had heard of him and knew something about his liberal activities. Son of a well-known California family, he conducted a self-help school for under-privileged boys on his estate at San Dimas, in the foothills of the Sierras.
Taking me aside, he said he had long been especially interested in labor problems. From his pocket he took two paid-up life insurance policies with a cash value of more than $5,000, and offered them as a contribution to our strike.
I explained we did not need money; what we needed most was moral support from the people of Los Angeles.
"What, then," he wanted to know, "can I do to be most helpful?"
"It would help a lot," I said, "if you would arrange a public mass meeting, and invite both the employers and our union to state their cases."
He got busy at once, and such a meeting, well-advertised and largely attended, was held October 20 in the First Unitarian Church. The speakers included two of the strikers, who had poignant stories to tell of what they had been up against in the factories; the Rev. A. A. Heist, Methodist minister who had helped settle the great Colorado coal strike in 1927; the Rev. Allan Hunter, pastor of the Mount Hollywood Congregational Church; Chester Williams, chairman of the Southern California Youth Congress; and David Ziskind, prominent Los Angeles lawyer. Jerry Voorhis presided.
Charles Katz, attorney for the manufacturers, presented their side of the story, Bill Busick and I, that of the union. There could be no question in the minds of unbiased persons present that we had the better of the argument.
Afterwards, Mr. Katz was frank enough to say to me: "If I were on your side, I'd speak as convincingly as you." Later he became one of our attorneys.
Several similar meetings followed, gaining wide support for our cause.
Voorhis continued to give us practical and whole-hearted cooperation. Ever since, he has proudly carried a paid-up union card in one of our Los Angeles locals. I learned later that, not satisfied with a Yale degree, he had worked as a cowboy, a freight handler, and as an automobile mechanic. In 1936 he was elected to Congress, where he is one of an outspoken minority with a liberal point of view.
Systematically our pickets were reinforced each day by large numbers of others in the early morning, noontime, and late afternoon. Skeleton crews of watchers were assigned for duty throughout the night. Pickets served in relays, staying on the lines two hours or so at a time, and then coming to headquarters to attend shop meetings, for coffee and food, and recreation. Each afternoon there was a large meeting in the assembly hall, with talks by the organizers and by speakers from outside. Norman Thomas, standard-bearer of the Socialist Party, then touring California, was one of the visitors.
In that second week Senator Robert F. Wagner, chairman of the National Labor Board in Washington, wired MacCulloch urging arbitration. The manufacturers' association assented, on condition that we stop picketing. We answered that the strikers were ready to submit the issues to "an impartial committee of citizens," but opposed any cessation of picketing so long as the employers kept their shops open. "We will stop picketing when you close your factories," was our reply.
Booth, the employers' spokesman, asserted that "in all strikes picketing was halted during arbitration proceedings." It was an old ruse. Labor history is full of examples of broken faith by employers and of union defeat when strikers have been persuaded to stop picketing at this stage of an industrial conflict. The momentum we had gained, the solid morale of the strikers, must be protected.
Dr. Roy L. Smith, pastor of the First Methodist Church, inspected the strike area, visiting picket lines and headquarters. He reported his observations to a committee of representative clergymen. They passed a resolution calling upon members of their congregations to observe the picket lines at certain hours when clashes were most likely to occur.
Singing on the picket lines attracted and held crowds of shoppers. The time-tried union songs were best÷Hold the Fort, the Soup Song, and the rest. But the favorite of the strikers was Solidarity Forever, set to the ringing tones of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Their voices swelled and lifted, filling the brick canyon of the garment center.
When the Union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run,
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun,
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one,
But the Union makes us strong.
A hundred college students, girls and boys, joined the picket lines and staged a demonstration in our behalf, improvising songs and yells. They had been attending the Southern California Youth Congress at nearby Pacific Palisades. Nine were arrested for "disturbing the peace and blocking the sidewalk." Like charges were placed against the Rev. Wesley G. Nicholson, pastor of Westwood Hills Congregational Church, who was present as an observer. The Congress issued a statement saying it had investigated every phase of the strike, and condemning the manufacturers for paying dressmakers "as little as $2 or $3 a week."
One girl student from the University of Southern California performed a notable service for us, of which I knew nothing until later. I remember only her first name, Gretchen. She walked into various department stores and swank downtown retail shops and asked to be shown expensive dresses. After examining them closely, she asked: "Where is the union label? Why do you sell sweatshop merchandise?" The saleswoman had no answers to those questions.
Gretchen would than raise her voice in indignant objection. The manager would hurry to the scene. Gretchen would continue her protest, still in high key, while customers listened. As she walked out, she would tell the manager that unless his firm changed its policy and sold union-made goods she would never buy anything there again.
Soon we received inquiries from stores asking where they could get garments with the union label.
By the 26th, both sides had agreed to "arbitrate without reservation," and four days later a board of five was chosen to weigh the issues in the case. The five were: Mrs. Frances Noel, club-woman; Dr. J. L. Leonard, professor of economics at the University of Southern California; Rabbi Isadore Isaacson of the Congregation Israel, Hollywood; the Rev. James F. Cunningham, assistant pastor of St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, and Campbell MacCulloch, state executive secretary of the NRA.
Some 250 strikers marched on the 30th from headquarters to the California State Building, to file complaints with the State Labor Commissioner against manufacturers who had long violated the California minimum wage law. They had checks and work-hour stubs showing they had received $2, $3, $4, or $5 a week, though the legal bottom wage for women was $16 for 48 hours.
The state police refused to let the marchers go up to the commissioner's office. So they crowded into the main floor lobby and set up a roar of protest. Bill Busick pushed his way through, and at his urging they poured into the Assembly Chamber and took seats. Then Bill phoned upstairs, and Deputy Commissioner Charles Lowy hastened down and heard the delegation's complaints.
Immediately 200 other strikers led by Paul Berg marched to the City Hall and protested to Mayor Frank L. Shaw against undue police interference. The mayor said he would appoint a committee to investigate.
Meanwhile there were rumors that the police planned to use tear gas. We discussed that possibility at shop meetings and prepared our women for it. When "guards" provoked a clash between the strikebreakers and pickets at 719 South Los Angeles Street, I saw a policeman dashing toward the spot with a tear-gas bomb behind his back. I caught up with him and shouted, "I'd advise you not to throw that."
He turned quickly and halted. "Why not?"
"Because it would serve no purpose. Our strikers know as well as you do how to protect themselves."
"What will they do?"
"Nothing, just let the tears run down their faces."
As a matter of fact, we had advised our women to do what they did when peeling onions÷never rub their eyes, but allow the tears to run down their cheeks.
No tear-gas was used.
Lieutenant Pfeiffer, "Red" Hynes's assistant, although constantly in the strike area, was unable to cope with the activities of the striking girls, who were too swift for him A tall, powerful man, he once stopped me at the corner of Ninth Street and Broadway. Towering over me, he shook a finger within an inch of my nose, and said, "Rosie, don't think this is New York."
"I know it isn't," I answered, "but before we're through these girls will be working in shops as well organized as in New York."
Up to the time of our strike the Hynes "Red Squad" had ruled supreme in the Los Angeles labor field and in the Communist movement. Hynes always had advance knowledge of Communist activities, garnered from undercover men. But he was unable to get advance information on our movements. For practically always our strategy was planned by Feinberg and myself and communicated to others in the union only on the eve of execution. Most of our activities were organized swiftly and carried out before they could be interfered with.
On Hallowe'en, we arranged a children's party for the morning and another for the strikers in the evening. The hall was festively decorated on Saturday morning. Dressed in appropriate costumes, the youngsters played games, sang and danced. Several children spoke the "pieces" they knew best; others performed native Mexican dances. We served lunch with milk, ice-cream, and cake. While our young guests were enjoying these refreshments, I sprung a sudden question:
"Would you like to see where your mothers picket?"
"Sure! You bet!" they shouted.
Immediately after lunch, I had the mothers round up their offspring in Hallowe'en attire, and started a procession of some 300, two by two, toward the garment center. One of our girls phoned the newspapers, and by the time the marchers reached the heart of the district, reporters and photographers were on hand. The cameramen got good shots of the colorful parade, and the newsmen found the scene rich in human interest. Broadway shoppers stopped traffic to look on.
The tail end of the procession was passing the last of the garment buildings and was about to turn a corner when I saw men running toward me. At their head was Captain "Red" Hynes.
He spoke breathlessly, indignantly. "You always would embarrass me. Why wasn't I notified about this? Why am I always the last one to hear about things?"
I snapped back at him. "I didn't know we were supposed to notify you about anything. We have plenty to do trying to settle this strike."
Two days later Lieutenant Pfeiffer came to our office and made a similar complaint in his own behalf. The "Red Squad" was becoming a laughing stock because of our tactics, he lamented.
For a change I used a pleading tone. "Please lay off. Let us alone. We have a couple of thousand girls and women on strike. If you'll let me take care of it, I'll see that they return safely to work."
"All right, Rosie, I know you can do it."
Pfeiffer hailed from New York, having been born and raised under Brooklyn Bridge. Sometimes he remembered he had a sense of humor, buried deep. One morning, he was in charge of the squad in Hynes's absence. Strikebreakers had just got out of several of the employers' automobiles and were being led into the Cooper Building on Los Angeles Street. Some of the girl strikers yelled: "Scab!" Pfeiffer evidently thought they weren't doing justice to their cause. He stood in front of them, raised his arms in the position of an orchestra conductor , and command ed, "Now, girls, all together!" The repeated epithet was a roar of derision.
The employers and the police evolved a scheme whereby pickets were arrested in the afternoon so that they couldn't have police court hearings until next day. They had to be bailed out to avoid staying in jail overnight.
One group of girls, before leaving headquart ers for the afternoon picket lines, instructed us not to bail them out if they were jailed. They were arrested, 14 of them, refused bail, and were placed in cells in Lincoln Heights jail. I sent in food and fruit.
Next morning we went to take them to court.
The matron of the jail, red- eyed and haggard, faced us. She had a heartfelt protest to make. "For the love of God, never leave a bunch like that in this place overnight again."
"What's wrong with them?" I asked.
"It's their songs. They sang all night. I never got a wink of sleep."
Usually strikers convicted on one charge or another were sentenced to pay a fine or serve 10 to 15 days in jail. Invariably they preferred to serve their sentences rather than pay the fine. Several of the girls, all American -bor n, told me later that not until they found themselves in a cell did they realize that men and women who had never committed any crime were often arrested in this land of the free, particularly in Los Angeles. Reading newspape rs in the past, they had thought of arrested persons as thieves, murderers , prostitutes , swindlers, or gangsters. Now their knowledg e was broadene d. They expressed no regret that they had chosen to be jailed in a worthy cause.

Introducing Elizabeth Grant, Miss Preston 2016
Hey Guys!
Sorry I've not been active recently, I've been knee deep in exams, coursework, uni.. and uni life. Where do I start about explaining my insane journey of Miss Preston, it all started when I was fortunately in town (just after finishing a night shift) so if I do say so myself, I wasn't looking my best (haha!) and a beaaaaauuuutifuuul girl sauntered over and asked if I wanted to join Miss Preston. At first I was struck aback, I was like "have I just been scouted?" this is mad! I was more than happy to put my name down and get on with my day.
I distinctly remember not being happy about having my picture taken because I had no makeup on that day, haha! But Mark was ever so flattering to me and we only had a chance to talk briefly before they continued scouting and I continued my day. Unbeknown to be, I had just begun my journey on this incredible world will impeccable opportunities arising for me! I feel so blessed thinking back over it all. Ever since I got the call from Mark to congratulate me on getting through to the finals, I can just remember having floods of ideas running through my mind of what to do, how to fundraise, who I would be competing against and what was expected of me!
When Mark rang I was at a staff work meeting (I remember this vividly); I came back into the staff room and I told them I got into the final! They were soon insanely happy for me, telling me how proud they were and for the rest of that meeting, I was zoned out hahaha. I think that was the first thought in my mind, what am I going to do if I win? Like, can you imagine if you win? But that thought was always a quick passing one, it was never one I dwelled on… even though I probably should have, looking at where I am now haha!
I had never, ever done a "heat" before so I had no clue what on earth to expect when I got there, I was hugely impressionable to what was going on around me, I remember being quite shy with the other girls first, I think I was still in shock and just taking everything in. But I loved every. single. second. of. it. I remember now what I kept telling myself during the rehearsals!! I aimed to keep in contact with these guys organising the event, because no matter what role anybody had (either Kerry, teaching us the choreography or Mary and Liv working behind the scenes) they always looked so untroubled and beaming. Definitely a place I could see myself working in or lending a helping hand some time in the future.
I remember the night before our final, it was the Juniors final and a video was put up that same night of behind the scenes and when they announced the winner and they caught her genuine reaction. My mother and I sat and watched it a few times saying how adorable she was and how exasperating it must have been to hear your name. I can't even believe that I would be in that same situation the next day, AHHHHH!
During the daily rehearsals all of us girls got talking about what we've done in the run up to the final, whether we have done heats before, and whether we're nervous or not. I'd say a high percentage of girls were nervous, including myself, but because the main aspect of the night was to have fun, that fear kind of went away! Until the big night and the stage and hearing Mark count down that we have "5 minutes until show time" Ahhhhhhh!!! It was legitimately the scariest and most nerve racking time hearing him count down. In our dressing room, us girls were chatting about anything and everything but we all stopped still whenever we heard Mark on the telecom because we were soon anxious haha!
Our very own Mark was soon lovely to me, especially when I did have a little bit of a stress when rehearsing one wear. I was with my group and I was struggling to walk properly, I didn't feel comfortable so Mark took the time to walk with me step by step and just talk for a while. Something that took my mind off things and he didn't seem fazed one bit about helping me. It just highlighted to me how much he cares for these girls and that we all need to enjoy ourselves before the show can go on. If we weren't happy, it would shine through to the performance and show. Our former Junior Miss Preston, Abbie Kerr was in our dressing room just before we all went out for our first wear and she was telling us to enjoy every moment of it because it goes in a heartbeat… by god was she right.
By the time I was able to catch my breathe, we had twenty minutes to get our Eco outfits on and then we were out again! It was a whirlwind and even though the stress levels were "hiiiiiiiiigh" everyone from behind the scenes always ensured we were okay and enjoying ourselves; that made the night go easier. It didn't feel like a competition, it just felt like a group of friends dressing up and doing a catwalk in somebodies bedroom, haha! We were aware of the judges but (if I'm honest) I was on that catwalk just doing me and enjoying… being me! It was brilliant to just have fun with some girls who I know I'll keep in my life for a long time, some life long friends.
During the night our current Miss North West, Christina, came in and asked me "What number are you?" and she looked at my wrist surprisingly and said "Ah, it's you!" She told me that my family were going craaaazy at the back of the hall when I went out and I heard the cheering but I never knew how mad they were going! It really kept me going that night to know that they're possibly going to wake up with croaky throats from screaming so loudly. Christina also told me "If you don't feel out of it and feel a bit silly, you're doing it wrong" and that kept with me. I was well and truly feeling myself when it was my turn to strut haha!
Now we've all done our walks, we're all changed into our evening wear and we're waiting for the results. The famous "results" song comes on and I tell you I had the biggest goosebumps up and down my arms. This moment was especially special because nobody really spoke much behind the scenes, but everybody came together and either held each others hands or waists. You could see the admiration and respect that all these girls had of one another, after spending all day together and not knowing each other for specifically a long time. It was precious to have shared my crowning with the girls I competed with. From the results of Miss Popularity, Publicity, Charity and Personality; all the girls behind went WILD for whoever it was! The pride we had for every girl who won that award was amazing! It was liberating; something I know I won't forget.
When they read my name out, I was in complete shock. Like, I didn't even have a niggle that it would be me, I couldn't believe it! It was me! Little ol' me from Ribbleton who's now Miss Preston 2016. Even typing this now seems surreal still, but it's sinking in. I am SO ready to take on this role now. But at the time it took a lot of pushing and prodding from the girls behind the scenes to get me on stage hahaha! My legs had forgotten how to work. I would go back to that liberating feeling over and over, people who I didn't even know where standing to clap me. Me???? Lil ol' me from Ribbleton!
It's just incredible to have been given this chance. I wouldn't change the whole night and experience for the world. Now… I am Miss Preston, 2016! Let's get these plans rolling shall we? I have many plans set up for this year and I am insanely excited to get these sorted. Many little events I want to get up and running during the summer months, in and around Preston. All fundraising done will be in aid of Derian House, a hospice that is so close to my heart. They helped me when I was 5 and dealing and coping with the loss of my older sister, Melanie. It's a gesture I treasure now. I do think I was blessed to receive this title, even more so that I can do so much with this title that helps the establishment that helped me in my time of need. Derian House, I will forever be in your favour for the work and time you spent with me. Melanie is shining bright for us both and I will make her proud.
Preston 2016, let's make this a year to shine brighter than ever!
Your Miss Preston,

The Extraction Process | Sectioning a Tooth | Home Care Instructions | Dry Socket | Extracted Tooth Healing
You and Edward Kozlovsky, DMD, Joseph F. Miele, DDS, or George Sandau, DMD, MD of Marlboro Center for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery & Dental Implantology and Middletown Oral Surgery Associates may determine that you need a tooth extraction for any number of reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
The removal of a single tooth can lead to problems related to your chewing ability, problems with your jaw joint, and shifting teeth, which can have a major impact on your dental health.
To avoid these complications, in most cases, Drs. Kozlovsky, Miele and Sandau will discuss alternatives to extractions as well as replacement of the extracted tooth.
The Extraction Process
At the time of extraction the doctor will need to numb your tooth, jawbone and gums that surround the area with a local anesthetic.
During the extraction process you will feel a lot of pressure. This is from the process of firmly rocking the tooth in order to widen the socket for removal.
You feel the pressure without pain as the anesthetic has numbed the nerves stopping the transference of pain, yet the nerves that transmit pressure are not profoundly affected.
If you do feel pain at any time during the extraction please let us know right away.
Sectioning a Tooth
Some teeth require sectioning. This is a very common procedure done when a tooth is so firmly anchored in its socket or the root is curved and the socket can't expand enough to remove it. The doctor simply cuts the tooth into sections then removes each section one at a time.
Home Care Instructions After A Tooth Extraction
Some bleeding may occur. Placing a piece of moist gauze over the empty tooth socket and biting down firmly for 45 minutes can control this.
Blood clots that form in the empty socket.
This is an important part of the healing process and you must be careful not to dislodge the clot.
- Avoid rinsing or spitting for 24 hours after the extraction.
- Avoid use of a straw, smoking or hot liquids.
If swelling occurs you can place ice on your face for 10 minutes and off for 20 minutes. Repeat this cycle as you feel necessary for up to 24 hours.
Pain and Medications
If you experience pain you may use non-prescription pain relief medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
For most extractions just make sure you do your chewing away from the extraction site. Stay away from hot liquids and alcoholic beverages for 24 hours. A liquid diet may be recommended for 24 hours.
Brushing and Cleaning
After the extraction avoid brushing the teeth near the extraction site for one day. After that you can resume gentle cleaning. Avoid commercial mouth rinses, as they tend to irritate the site. Beginning 24 hours after the extraction you can rinse with salt water (1/2 teaspoon in a cup of water) after meals and before bed.
Dry Socket
Dry socket occurs when a blood clot fails to form in the socket where the tooth has been extracted or the clot has been dislodged, and the healing is significantly delayed. In this situation, Kozlovksy, Miele or Sandau will apply a medicated dressing to the dry socket to soothe the pain.
Following the post-extraction instructions will reduce the chances of developing dry socket. Dry sockets manifest themselves as a dull throbbing pain, which doesn't appear until three or four days after the extraction. The pain can be moderate to severe and radiate from the extraction area. Dry socket may cause a bad taste or bad breath and the extraction site appears dry.
Extracted Tooth Healing
After a tooth has been extracted there will be a resulting hole in your jawbone where the tooth was. In time, this will smooth and fill in with bone. This process can take many weeks or months. However, after 1-2 weeks you should no longer notice any inconvenience.

If you need oral surgery this is the place to go! Staff was so kind and friendly and patient. Dr. Kozlovsky is a gifted surgeon! He is so kind, and gentle and an amazing surgeon. He was very patient with me and kind as I asked him many questions. He assured me that everything would go smoothly. My procedure went so quickly no pain as he administered needle and pulled out my tooth. I highly recommend Dr. K, best oral surgeon I have gone too!! Janine C

After all the novelty of owning a house and renovating it to our desire, here comes the next wave of excitement: Home Improvement!
When we first moved into our humble abode, hubs and I agreed on keeping it to the minimum basics so as to ensure we do not overwhelm ourselves with debts and things we do not actually need. Having made ourselves comfortable for close to 3 years now, we have found ourselves to have slowly turned our house into a Mi home! It started with a Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner we first bought at Shopee (which works brilliantly to date), followed by Mi Home Security Camera for our cats and Xiaomi Smart Scale… so today, I will be sharing 3 additional Xiaomi haul that I'm super excited about and you'll get to enjoy my special promo code "SHSALENE" too!!
Why Shopee instead of Mi Singapore you may wonder?
Personally I feel that Mi Singapore isn't as well-stocked as they should be at the moment, resulting in certain products to be first launched at marketplaces, such as Shopee, instead of the official store. Obviously, there's a lot of vendors selling Xiaomi products, so you need to be vigilant against "inspired" ones. Read the reviews, best if they have real life pictures, and browse through their shop to get an idea of their services. Though I must say that I have not face any problems so far. Regardless, with big purchases, I choose to play safe and stick to the same seller from whom I bought my first Mi Vacuum from, Newstar Electronics. As always, they didn't fail to disappoint and delivered my items within 2 days!! I got extremely excited and started posting them on my IG Stories, be sure to check out my lifestyle highlights! For more detailed reviews as requested by some of you, here we go~
1. Xiaomi ZAJIA Infrared Induction Water Saving Device Automatic Faucet Adapter
We bought this faucet adapter for our kitchen simply for the convenience of being able to wash our hands and/or dishes when our hands are all dirty – at least the handle won't be. It's super easy to install, all you got to do is to charge it with USB prior to installation, wave your hand in front the little black rectangle and you're good to go! If I were to nitpick, the only troublesome part will be the occasional charging after an estimated 6 months of usage, and it doesn't come with a filter if you're particular about that – otherwise it's totally worth it!
2. Xiaomi SCISHARE 1.8L Smart Instant Hot Water Dispenser
This was actually the first Xiaomi product I added into my cart this round, hees! Any tea lover would definitely appreciate the ease in adjusting the temperature for brewing tea. It comes in 6 preset temperature to choose from, super easy to install and all you need to do is just add water! We were contemplating on getting a water dispenser previously, but hated the idea of how bulky and expensive they can be due to added "alkaline" filters that we do not need. Now, we just have to choose the temperature we prefer and enjoy hot beverages instantly. How cool is that!
3. Xiaomi Handheld Electric Mop 2000mAh / Wiper Floor Washers Rechargeable Wireless
I've been looking for a decent spray mop for awhile now as the previous one I've bought was rubbish. Was watching the video and wondering if this was all gimmick since it's just going to vibrate while spraying water out.. but gosh this is a legit game changer! We tested it after my hubs did some frying and our floor was all sticky, added a teeny drop of detergent into the water and watch it does its magic. My floor was the cleanest it has been aside from my PT helper. This purchase definitely exceeded our expectations.
4. Artificial Silk Fake Flowers Peony Floral Wedding Bouquet Bridal Hydrangea Decor
On top of electronics, I also bought some decor for my house (and flatlays). Love how good the quality is for something so cheap! Perhaps it's not very obvious in this photo, but when incorporated into flatlays, they do look pretty real. As per their description, I received a bundle of 5 for option B. No complains for sure!
5. Practical Kitten Cats Pet Hot Toys Rotating Butterfly Scratch
Last but note least, I bought something for my kitties. This is so cheap that even if it spoils really fast, I won't feel that it is a waste of money! Thankfully, the quality is definitely worth way more than the price. With just an AAA battery, my cats are kept well entertained for hours at a go. Despite being mercilessly thrashed by 3 cats, the butterfly is still holding up pretty good, with no signs of near-death. Lol.
Overall, we were really pleased with our purchases and appreciate how they were dispatched so quickly and arrived within a week! With Shopee Guarantee, upon receiving your items, you get to check and ensure everything is up to your expectations before dispatching the money to the sellers. This definitely add as an assurance that we won't be cheat off our money with no assistance.
As I wanted to maximize my purchase, I've actually downloaded the Shopee app on my iphone and access it via my shopback app to enjoy some cashback too. Super convenient and fuss-free! On top of prompt delivery and support given whenever needed, Shopee sure is a platform that's super easy to use, with strong payment gateway and security. The screenshots you've seen above were all shopped via my app, when I was on my way home from work. It is, in fact, a leading mobile-first marketplace in Southeast Asia and Taiwan. With a variety of products and categories, you too can enjoy good deals available on Shopee – such as daily Flash Deals, sitewide vouchers, etc.
For those who are interested and have been asking me for the links, I hope this has been useful for you. If you've yet to download the app, be sure to use my exclusive promo code "SHSALENE" for $7 off a minimum purchase of $15 for first time buyers (Valid till 31 October 2019)! Have fun shopping and do leave me a comment if you have any questions~ xx

After the first round of games, Denmark find themselves top of the group thanks to a 3-2 win over Serbia.
The hosts found themselves ahead but Denmark's class showed as the game progressed.
Vojno Jesic grabbed the first goal on the half hour mark for Serbia but they were quickly pegged back as Denmark scored within 2 minutes thanks to defender Nicolai Johannesen's effort.
Things turned worse for Serbia 6 minutes later and they went into half-time 2-1 down as Bojan Nastic found his effort fall into his own net.
Ogngen Ozegovic's goal early in the second-half saw Serbia draw level.
Nevertheless, Denmark had enough in them to secure the victory after 76 minutes when Viktor Fischer found the net, two minutes before being substituted.
Serbia will face France on Thursday whilst Denmark take on England.
Later today Germany face Holland and Czech Republic play Romania in their bids to get off to a winning start in Serbia.
