In a campaign entitled "B4Stage4", The Mental Health Association of CT and Mental Health America are encouraging CT citizens to step up and get treatment for mental health conditions (see link below).
Keep in mind that if you are stupid enough to get treatment for a mental health disability and end up in court with a custody issue, you will put yourself seriously at risk of losing your children based upon that diagnosis.
Do not be stupid enough to listen to public policy calls to have you receive treatment for your mental illness when the government and state agencies will then use it against you to deny you your fundamental civil rights.
Not only will you experience discrimination in the workplace, you will also experience discrimination in every courtroom in the State of Connecticut--this means the Probate Courts, Civil Courts, Criminal Courts, and Family and Juvenile Courts.
The Connecticut Judicial Branch remains non-compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 and also with the ADA Amendments Act of 2008. Until this changes, you are putting yourself severely at risk if you sign up for mental health treatment or in any way allow yourself or your children to have on record that they have any kind of mental health diagnosis.
See the call for you to give up your precious freedoms in the notice below:

California is entering what appears to be a third straight dry year — so dry that some sectors of the state are calling for emergency measures and enacting water-use restrictions.
We are thankful that San Diego County isn't at that point, in large part because of our region's legacy of leadership in taking steps to stretch and diversify our water supplies. We've been out front on water conservation, helping to decrease water use even as our population and economy continue to expand. Our region also secured large volumes of independent Colorado River water in a historic 2003 agreement that is still ramping up and will provide highly reliable supplies for decades.
Building on that tradition, the San Diego County Water Authority, Poseidon Water, Kiewit Shea Desalination contractors and local governments have successfully partnered to complete the first year of construction on the next major piece of the region's water supply diversification program: The Carlsbad Desalination Project. The pioneering project — which includes a desalination plant, a 10-mile pipeline and upgrades to Water Authority facilities — is more than 25 percent complete.
Construction is progressing on budget and on schedule to deliver a drought-proof supply of high-quality water by early 2016.
The roots of the desalination project go back to the drought that plagued California in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which provided virtually all the region's water at the time, slashed the county's imported water supply by 31 percent. The Water Authority responded with a strategy to diversify its water supply sources through a variety of measures, including conservation, long-term water transfers and local supply development, such as seawater desalination. After more than a decade of planning, the Water Authority approved a 30-year water purchase agreement with Poseidon Water in November 2012. The public-private partnership quickly secured a financing package that has been lauded as innovative by the finance industry, and construction began in late December 2012.
When complete, the Carlsbad facility will be the largest, most technologically advanced and energy-efficient seawater desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere. It will produce up to 50 million gallons per day of drinking water, enough for 112,000 typical households. It's projected to meet 7 percent of the region's water demand in 2020, accounting for about one-third of all locally produced water.
That water will be transported to Water Authority facilities via a large-diameter pipeline being built through Carlsbad, Vista and San Marcos for distribution countywide. To date, more than two miles of the pipe have been installed. With some of the most complex and difficult areas completed, Poseidon expects to accelerate the pace of pipeline construction in 2014.
The overall project was designed with environmental benefits; it will be the first large-scale water supply project in California to neutralize its carbon footprint. Poseidon also will preserve the 300-acre Agua Hedionda Lagoon in Carlsbad, restore 66 acres of coastal wetlands in South San Diego Bay and plant 5,000 trees throughout the county in areas damaged by wildfires.
In addition, the project is infusing $350 million into the local economy and supporting an estimated 2,500 jobs in seawater desalination, engineering, construction and other industries.
One year into construction, we are thrilled to see this effort progressing so quickly and efficiently. We owe our thanks to the residents and businesses of North County who have patiently supported the project despite the inevitable inconveniences that construction can cause. We hope they are proud of being a part of one of the most innovative water projects in the nation.
As we move toward the finish line, we are confident that our region will soon enjoy the long-term benefits of tapping the Pacific Ocean as a renewable, highly reliable water source that improves our water supplies for generations to come.

Yo Dorky............ someone looking for you!
I am probably dealing with a stubborn person.Nah, no thanks.
what binary options company has the easiest trading platform?
I think most people are not aware of binary option is actually gambling package in the form of investment. Say at a specific time, 11:25 a.m., you put down $1000 that XYZ stock will either increase or decrease in price within five minutesby 11:30 a.m. If you are wrong, you get $15 back. If you are right, you win about $70. Mathematically, the site always has an edge and you will always lose, like a player vs the casino. These sites promote themselves as offering controlled risk (you cant lose more than a specified amount), low cost, big gains if you guess right, and ease of useyou can trade from home whenever markets are open and set up an account with a credit card.
Hi Ļaughing Ģor I agree with you that binary trading is just a euphemism for gambling but on the other hand I also think that it is like a guessing game, dont you? I think it is just a matter of observing or whatever strategy that you may have in order for you to predict what will happen on next sec/minute. I actually have a friend who is earning money from it that's why I became curious about this binary thing. Anyway, have you had an experience doing binary trade? If so, I want to learn from you hehe
Hi,Ther is no requirement to have any previous experience in Binary options trading, with a little time, any skill level can grasp the concept of binary options trading. The price of an asset is the basics required to predicts the direction. The price will either increase (call) or fall (put). Successful binary options traders often gain great success utilizing simple methods and strategies as well as using reliable brokers.


text: This is the third Vpad 7 since my first purchase in Nov 2011. The first one didn't work right out of the box. The replacement started to reboot on its own constantly. And here's the third one I just got for an replacement. It seems to have similar rebooting issues I had with the last one. What's weird with this one is that it almost reboots every few minutes when I'm at home, but it can last almost a whole day at work without a glitch. Occasionally it does reboot at work as well, though. So what could be causing this besides the fact that I may have an anti-Vpad 7 ghost hanging around at home that I can't hunt down? The only major difference between home and work I can think of is I don't have very strong Wifi signals at home in the spots where I usually would sit and use the tablet. But I also tested at the spot that has strong signals at home and it keeps on rebooting as well. To isolate the issue, I have installed no programs on this unit so far. The only thing I do is to browse on the internet. So can somebody please tell me what the heck is going on with this piece of junk? It's driving me crazy! If I can replicate the problem anywhere easily, then I can send it back for another replacement. But I'm afraid they'll tell me nothing is wrong if it goes the way as at my work!

Supra UK is a subsidiary of Supra, a global company with a headquarters in Oregon, USA. The company was founded in 1955 by an estate agent called Delbert Williams and today is a leading provider of key management systems. Williams came up with an ingenious solution to the problem of showing clients round homes and struggling to locate the keys to each house. The answer was a lockable key box, to give instant, one-key access. The company grew, and in 1990 introduced the first electronic key box, the Entrycard. Further developments have included the iBox in 2002, which used an infra-red signal, and a Bluetooth iBox in 2010 that allowed smart phones to communicate directly with the box and link to the internet-based portal, SupraNet. The company continues to produce high-quality, mechanical key solutions, using master keys or combination locks. Many of the company's UK products, which can be purchased online from easylocks, are police-approved as part of the Secured by Design initiative. These items all provide users with the ultimate peace of mind and reassurance that their property is highly secure. The Supra C500 Police Approved Key Safe has been awarded LPS1175 Level 1 accreditation; the highest level ever given to a UK key safe. It includes advanced security features such as a pry-resistant long-travel bolt and a clutch mechanism that prevents forcing of the handle.

How Can You Edit Photos Faster While Keeping Your Own Style? Create Your Own Presets
Presets make your photo editing work faster. That's because they can do several frequently used operations for you at once. Thanks to presets, you don't have to set up all of your tools the same way manually each time. You can just click once. But what if you're not interested in presets for somebody else's edits? Just for your own hand-crafted edits? No problem. Zoner Photo Studio can give you what you want. You'll save time while keeping your own original style.
Presets are predefined settings for photo-editing tools. They let you edit photos in a single click. How do you create them, save them, and use them in ZPS? I'll explain all of this through a simple example: toning pictures towards teal and orange, which has become a very popular edit lately. I'd like to invite you to download the sample picture (or use a similar one of your own) and follow along to learn the steps.
But Wait, Why Teal and Orange?
If you've been following recent cinematography, you've likely noticed that in almost every recent film, the blues are shifted towards teal, and they are very often used together with orange. This works well, because these are colors on opposite sides of the color wheel, and so they form a contrasting pair. Red and green could work the same way, but if a scene needs to contain, for example, someone's face, then orange is more useful as it's a more natural skin color.
Editing a Single Photo First
So my goal is to create a Teal and Orange preset, and I'll be setting it up while working with this photo here. That means that I'll be shifting the green of its trees towards orange, while shifting its sky's blue towards teal.
I open the photo in the Develop module and go to the Color section in the right panel. I start by testing some shifts in its overall tinting towards different values. That way I can see how the picture's different colors work and how the changes I'm making affect them. Here I'm aiming, of course, to produce a teal-and-orange take, and so I'm shifting the hue lightly into the negative values.
Now, this does change absolutely all of the picture's colors, including those I didn't want to change. But I'll fix that in the next step. I also found here that it helped to increase the Vibrance and decrease the Saturation. For now, I'm going to feel free to deliberately overshoot a little.
Shifting Individual Colors
In this step, I'm making some small adjustments for colors that I've shifted accidentally. The original orange is too far towards red, and so by moving it upwards, I'm returning it towards what's normal. For the very next color, yellow (which often appears in greenery in photos), I do the opposite: I move it downwards, more towards orange.
I make the blue sky more teal by shifting all of the blue shades from blue out to indigo downwards.
If it seems like a color is too saturated, I click into the Saturation setting and decrease it.
Saving the Preset
Now that everything's done, I click the Presets icon at the top left of all of the controls in the right pane, and then the + button at the top of the Presets controls. The + stands for Create Preset. I can use the Ctrl+S keyboard shortcut as well.
Now I name it and set where to save it.
In the next step, I set which tools to include in the preset. While I could include every single tool, the more tools a preset has, the less universal it is. So I limit my color-tuning preset to just color settings, and I recommend you do the same. I also have presets for landscapes and for portraits, and so on.
So for a landscape photo, I first apply my Landscapes preset with some settings (mostly exposure) for landscapes. Then I use my Teal and Orange preset if I wish to shift its colors towards teal and orange. It's just one click more, and it saves me—and can save you—lots of time and work with fine-tuning other settings if I end up also using my preset for a genre other than the one I originally created it for.
To use my preset, I open the presets panel and click on the preset's name. Running the mouse over its name previews it.
The photo before and after applying the preset.
Download Zoner Photo Studio X, enjoy it 30 days for free, and edit photos lightning-fast with presets.

Go to the H1 of the class
I'm refactoring some HTML right now and it occurs to me that headings are problematic for non-frontend devs and inconsistently used at best among frontenders.
When I was at Yahoo a big part of the styling philosophy revolved around Atomic CSS. These were the kind of predecessor to React's JS-like inline style declarations. Styles were generated by a post processor based on descriptive short class names. Eg,
display: inline-block becomes
D-ib for example (not the real syntax anymore but similar idea). The compiler would generate a the stylesheet to make the class name work, eg
.D-ib {display: inline-block}
The reason I'm bringing this up is that headings typically have some styling associated with them. The base stylesheets of browsers define them, and they are block-level at the very least. Most CSS template systems further define them and/or do some kind of "reset" that redefines them.
At a basic level, heading tags are semantic, telling an agent at what level in the hierarchy of information this markup resides. That's basically it. I'm coming to think that in the age of components we need to treat headings as relative and purely semantic. On one extreme I see developers using just
div everywhere. This gets around the problem of default stylings but throws away any attempt at semantic hierarchy. Maybe they sprinkle in some non-standard class name scheme for that.
H tags would have no styling different than
div. Components always start with
H1 at their top level, and would be rewritten during page composition to the appropriate depth based on "root" heading level. Styles are applied separately. Possibly inverting the "additional semantics" pattern by supplying "additional styling" even using
.h1 class names. This seems like an anti-pattern at first but then some common trends in React styling started as anti-patterns as well.
Simple Ubuntu Desktop with Vagrant
I wanted to spin up a Linux development environment to hack on some code that needed epoll. I could have run everything in a Docker container, but I kinda wanted to be in that environment for total hackage.
I thought maybe I'd just do it in a Virtualbox instance. Then I didn't want to install Ubuntu or anything. Then I realized that Vagrant is supposed to solve this problem. Installed Vagrant and used Ubuntu Trusty – https://app.vagrantup.com/ubuntu
$ brew cask install vagrant
$ vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64
$ vagrant up
Then I realized I wanted a minimal desktop.
So googling.
Yep, XFCE FTW. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18878117/using-vagrant-to-run-virtual-machines-with-desktop-environment
Then install chrome. It's easiest to SSH into the instance and past this stuff in through the native shell.
$ wget -q -O – https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add –
$ echo 'deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable
In Virtualbox

Forgotten Javascript
Every once in a while I get reminded of some dark corner of Javascript even though I'm developing with it every day. I give a lot of JS coding interviews and every once in a while something comes up that I hadn't anticipated in the questions that I usually ask.
Recently someone tried to solve one of my coding problems using
arguments.callee. I hadn't thought about this variable in a while, and I realized why once I looked it up on MDN.
The short answer is that it doesn't work in strict mode, which of course everyone is using right?
The long answer is that you are effectively looking at the call stack, which in most languages is sketchy due to compiler optimizations (function inlining, etc). In C# I have seen some code that relied on applying the attribute
[MethodImplAttribute(MethodImplOptions.NoInlining)] to the function to keep the compiler from inlining it.
This got me thinking about today's highly-optimized Javascript runtimes. Surely they can do inlining when generating target code right? It turns out that yes, they can, and even better, in the case of V8 we can trace how the optimizations are applied.
I took the example I found here and ran it myself to verify that my version of V8 installed via homebrew on OSX was performing the same optimizations.
Micro thing-uses
Hello friends. I'm still writing code every day, believe it or not. I'm back in startup land. Away from big tech land mostly. Seeing both sides of the coin has been helping me have some insights I didn't have before on the open-source adoption of technologies that trickle down from big organizations.
In the past I have mostly held the position that Your'e Not Gonna Need It with most things involving scale or performance, or (insert x thingy). Big companies need to deal with multiple facets of scale that you don't need when your entire engineering department fits at one desk pod.
However, there are some success stories around the adoption of some technologies and some failures. I'm not sure yet if I can draw conclusions yet on what tips the scales one way or another. I think the elephant in the room right now is microservices. Leading up to microservices was containerization.
What are the technologies? Docker. Kubernetes. Lambda. Graphql. Apollo.
These don't seem like they have that much in common but they are all attempts at granularization of the solution space in some way.
The monolithic app has been derided since I started in the software industry. My entire career we have been splitting things into libraries, creating dependencies and fighting the ugly monolith. He's an easy enemy. A strawman. Kill the monolith!
Companies like Microsoft, Google and Facebook have been known to keep all their code in one big repository. A monolith? Not necessarily but in some cases yes. Death to the monolith, long live the monrepo?
The distinction between units of code reuse and units of deployment is still something that confuses the issue. Remember n-tier apps? Of course we will handle x in the n tier. In reality there was one server with all the tiers on it. Was the database a tier? How many cycles of splitting and joining database schemas did the app go through?
It was an imperfect abstraction at best. What is a tier?
Now I ask, "what is a service"? What makes a service "micro"?
This post is not for answering questions but for asking them.
When we wrote .NET remoting objects, were those microservices? Why was DCOM so hated? Were they microservices? Remember registries for COM components – service locators in Java? Is this the old new thing, microservices?
Two ideas in computer science that have endured like viruses are functional programming and the UNIX philosophy. Why are these good ideas? Maybe they are bad ideas but somehow they keep popping up like bad pennies. Functional means never having to remember that you said you were sorry. UNIX means dance to your own drum beat, but only one.
Are UNIX commands proto-microservices? Is Bash the proto-orchestration framework? We are giving way too much credit to the shell here. It was UNIX pipes that was the stroke of genius. Does UNIX have side effects? Does it ever. However it's interesting that there are some general patterns that hold. Standard I/O, return codes, and file handles cover almost everything. Pipes are special files. Sockets can be as well. So two basic subsystems cover almost everything in UNIX.
This brings us back to making some generalizations about service models. Why didn't CORBA deliver on its promises? .NET remoting? I'm going to put out a strawman here and say – state and side effects.
Sounds like a familiar refrain. Functional programming vilifies these two things as its raison dêtre. What if, rather than fighting state and side effects, we use these as the very definition of a service? Monads are designed to encapsulate state. Could the same be said of a microservice? What about side effects? Any time in a system that there is a state boundary, is that a microservice? What about a specific side effect?
I was going to philosophize on containers and connectivity here too, but I think I'll save it for next time.
Editing Javascript
One of the things I heard over and over again when I first started doing large applications with Javascript was "which IDE do you use?". At the time I was using Visual Studio. Believe it or not, ancient Visual Studio had pretty good debugging capabilities with Internet Explorer. Everyone knows now that duo did not last.
There was a long stretch of time where I was using the editor of the month. Sublime text or something along those lines. Extensible editors were the rage but it didn't feel like Javascript was a first-class citizen. I used to tell people that I didn't use an IDE, which was not really true looking back. I had (and still have to some extent) a collection of VIM scripts that did things like open my editor windows and manage files on the left side. Searching open files and switching buffers. Compared to event to the old Visual Studio it was a little crude. But it was fast and it worked.
Later on I worked for a startup doing Python development. Intellij's PyCharm was the IDE that we used there and it was amazing. Just every little thing catered to the language and I realized that the shortcuts from their Java IDE were the same. Later when I moved back to doing JS I tried out WebStorm and was hooked.
WebStorm is an amazing IDE. JetBrains did a great job at making it a seamless and consistent experience. Over time I think I kept buying it and extending the license. I ended up using Atom on a team at Yahoo along with the other devs and forgot about WebStorm for a while. Atom was a good editor. It was cool because it was written in Javascript. It was a JS app. While this had a certain appeal, there were some limitations that irked me like speed and opening large files. Coming from VIM this is kind of hard to compete with but it bothered me nonetheless.
I joined a new startup and loaded up WebStorm for the first time in a few months and realized my license had expired again. Not wanting to expense this on my first day of a new job, I opened up MS Visual Studio Code (VSCode). I had it installed out of curiosity that MS was doing an open cross-platform editor written in JS like Atom of yore.
I installed some plugins and started using it. Some people at work asked me what I was using immediately. People started using it. It was catching on for some reason. One guy found that it had a plugin for Emmet HTML generation and he was hooked. People were starting to use it and it seemed like overnight everyone was there. I never even advocated for it, it just happened.
Whatever the case JS is a first class citizen and there are tools out there that rock for dealing with it. The days when I tell people I don't use an IDE for Javascript are over.
Front-end trends
The last few years have seen an incredible acceleration in the JS and general front-end ecosystem. However, the more things change, the more that they stay the same. The general problem that the Web is solving is still the promise of write-once run most places in some compatible way and without pre-installation. The paradigm is so strong that even native app development is trying to get in on the action.
In the last few months I've been involved with a production React Native iOS app and a Chrome extension and a "regular" React JS app. Javascript is everywhere and the tooling has become so fluid that we end up with new tools and best practices between projects only months apart.
When I was working on the Yahoo homepage, the decision to use React had just been made. The Media organization did a full turn to embrace it. The Web framework being used was called Touchdown. The "old" touchdown used Jade templates believe it or not. This had been pretty cutting edge only a year or two ago. Since we had control over this framework we went full steam into converting everything to use React.
However, there were a few old-timers around still that would just open up debugging tools or run things through a proxy and point out all of the issues we were ignoring about page weight, multiple requests, slow rendering, web fonts, and a litany of other issues. This is the old school web. The browser makes requests. CSS comes down the wire. Things block. JS is parsed. Rendering happens. Repaints, reflows, DOM thrashing.
React was created to solve a problem. The problem was how to make rendering UI based on data mutations predictable and easy. That's really it. It didn't tackle any of these other issues of content delivery or page performance other than to make disposing and updating DOM very fast and efficient. Effectively re-render for (almost) free. There were some leaks in this abstraction that could be patched manually with things like ShouldComponentUpdate.
Already there are serious competitors to React like Vue and Marko. Web Components have been on the horizon for some time now. We will likely learn the lessons of react and move on.
The JS ecosystem can be likened to learning how to learn or designing a process to produce and artifact faster rather than producing the actual artifact. Babel is ubiquitous so we are transpiling our code everywhere. I wonder if JS is even going to remain. Once browsers support a more general virtual machine and we transpile our JS to that VM, nothing is stopping us from replacing JS wholesale in this ecosystem.
Which brings me back to my initial point. The more things change the more they stay the same. Web front end has nothing to do with JS specifically. It's HTTP requests and assets. DOM and styling. Browser rendering engines.
I'm trying to distill some design wisdom I've come across over the years doing front-end work. There's always this phase of any project where designers have a system of styles and components in Sketch or Illustrator. Sometimes this system is ad-hoc and sometimes it's quite premeditated and referential. Either way the system must be translated to code by developers.
In the code world, we strive to define things as few times as possible (ideally once) and reuse things where we can while still allowing us to easily break out of the defaults where we need to without much effort.
Getting this all set up is easier said than done and many times the system is quite clean until part way through the project where it gets messy all of a sudden when some assumption made earlier suddenly doesn't apply after all.
I'm being deliberately general here since what I want to do is put forth a few simple rules to derive the specifics from. These are:
Avoid semantic styles
When I was first introduced to atomic CSS I started to realize how problematic commonly created custom CSS rules like `button` and `top-navigation` were. This is the root of unmaintainable and impossible to reuse styling. Atomic CSS espouses composition of small rules. If `button` is a rounded corner box with a border and gradient it's better to have rules for the border style and background applied separately to form a component called `button` rather than describing the styling directly in CSS.
Themes are pulled instead of pushed
It's tempting to create page-level rules that define things like font sizes and colors. This is dangerous because it's hard to prevent unwanted side effects in the components to which the rules are applied. It's also tempting to create top-level rules that affect only certain things on the page but not others by pure coincidence such that later changes will cause undesirable effects that need to be locally overridden. Theme elements should be available globally but applied locally. I'm referring to this as "pulling" values from a global context rather than having the CSS engine "pushing" things down automatically from the stylesheet.
Themes consist of a fixed set of attributes
Decide on a fixed set of things that are part of a theme. This includes colors, sizes, border radii, etc. Provide default values in the theme. Having well-known theme elements will avoid confusion and allow re-theming to be done smoothly without errors.
Use sequences/functions (scales) for sizes
I learned a secret about layout from a CSS library called Tachyons. The idea here is that you don't need that many pixel sizes to make a well-designed layout. In fact the sizes/proportions that aren't used are just as important as the ones that are. Make omission part of the design. An example here (I never used this, and it probably looks bad but it illustrates the point) is to use a Fibonacci sequence for margin sizes [1,1,2,3,5,8,13…]. I think of these like a musical scale. There are certain notes (sizes) in the scale but some are omitted.
Distill intent
It's important to specify the meaning of layout and positioning. What I mean by this is that sometimes designers will nudge spacing around elements to that they line up in some way that isn't explicit by looking at the design. For example an element might be two-thirds of the way down its parent but looking at the Sketch layout we see that it's 235 pixels or something like that. It's easy to see centering and sometimes the tools support notions like that but often implicit layouts are hard for developers to pick out.
The only answer here is to design with these intent rules in mind and call them out or reverse-engineer them with the help of design by asking "what did you mean here?". Which brings us to the last point:
Specify exceptions
Not everything fits into a neat box and sometimes design is akin to kerning text where we need to take visual weight or color or any one of a hundred different subtle factors into account when doing layout. Exceptional cases should be called out and reused if possible. This is kind of an anti-theme. The things that apply once instead of the things that apply always.
I'm thinking of calling this CSStem (CSS System). I'm not sure what form it will take. Probably a document and some examples along with tooling for generating a style guide/gallery/storybook type of web page as output.

Building more complex commands using Raspberry Pi terminal

You can take a look at some basic ones in following list. I thing it is more important to learn how to use them, get desired result by building more complex commands. Commands can also be combined in to single line using piping. In this case the output of one command becomes input of next one and so on. Lets go with few examples. We all know that Raspberry Pi comes with Python installed. So we should expect to find lots of .py files here: sudo find / -name *.py this throws us large list of file names:

Conference on Economic Human Rights Comes To Haverford
Emily Edwards is strong, but she is struggling. The West Philadelphia mom has been out of work for three months and has a 2-year-old boy to feed, clothe and shelter."It's very hard to deal with at this point," she says."I'll take from my mouth before I let him starve, so there are times when I won't eat because my son is hungry and he has to eat. Or there are times I'm cold just to make sure he's warm. It's very trying."
But Edwards gets support from Witnesses to Hunger, a project she joined a year ago at the urging of her best friend. The program recruits low-income mothers and care-givers to take photographs of what hunger looks like in their neighborhoods and teaches them to advocate to make changes in their communities through speaking engagements and dialogues with policy-makers. And it's been a crucial lifeline for Edwards."It's a sisterhood," she says."I can come and hear [people talk] about what I've been through without anyone judging me. It's a home away from home."
Though many often think of the problems of people like Edwards as being social or economic in nature, Cara Curtis '10, a religion major and current Haverford House fellow, wants us to view them as human rights violations. That's why she created the "Human Rights: Right Here" conference, which is supported by the Haverford House fellowship and the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship. The Haverford House fellowship is a one-year program for six recent graduates of the College who are committed to social justice and volunteer action who live cooperatively in a West Philadelphia house while working with non-profit organizations in the city. Curtis has been working at the Philadelphia GROW Project and the Drexel School of Public Health on initiatives related to good nutrition and health for children and their families.
Curtis'"Human Rights: Right Here" summit, which will take place February 24 and 25 at various locations on Haverford's campus, aims to give a human rights framework to issues of domestic poverty, including hunger, migrant rights, housing, the death penalty and other issues of economic justice."I recognized, as a very recent Haverford graduate, that there's a lot of interest in and commitment to social justice on campus and a lot of concern for issues of poverty and economic issues in Philadelphia, but there's not a whole lot of awareness of human rights as a tool that could be connected to that."
Curtis says that in America we usually think of human rights as political ones—the right to not be imprisoned or tortured for one's beliefs, for example—but that the foundational documents of the human rights movement, like The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which the United Nations adopted in 1948, also include language that promises all humans the right to work, to be educated, to be fed, clothed and sheltered."I think the issue of dignity is really central," says Curtis."Every human has rights, and not just to not be imprisoned and to be able to speak freely, but to have food. Every human has the right to have housing… But it's an idea we've forgotten."
Curtis' conference will include an opening presentation by Dr. Mariana Chilton, associate professor at the Drexel School of Public Health and the principal investigator for the Philadelphia GROW Project, and two panels: Human Rights and Grassroots Organizing in Philly and Placing Philadelphia in the National and Global Human Rights Dialogue. Speakers will include Galen Tyler of the Kensington Welfare Rights Union, Jesce Walz, an artist and grassroots activist, Renny Cushing, the executive director of Murder Victims' Families for Human Rights, Sarah Paoletti, an associate professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and founder and director of the Transnational Legal Clinic, Eric Tars '98, the director of human rights at the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty, and Emily Edwards, who will represent Witnesses to Hunger. She hopes, she says, that her participation in the conference will help put a face on the issues for Haverford students.
On the second day of the "Human Rights: Right Here" symposium, the College's campus will also play host to the John B. Hurford '60 Humanities Center-sponsored collloquium on disabilities and the arts, "In/Visible." Organizers have scheduled the two events so that those interested in the related topics may attend both. Says Curtis: "We were amazed by how much overlap there really is in thinking about human rights and dignity... so I think they fit together really well."

Areez Katki's ongoing textile practice at Glanville Terrace in Parnell is not a seasonal affair. It is not organized by collection, nor is it stylistically cohesive. Instead, garments are divided into families of 'Series' as opposed to collections.
Areez find fibers derived from various breeds of sheep, silkworms and plants, endeavouring to study their characteristics and treat those fibres with careful consideration & respect – whilst including them in his creative practice. This, like any craft practice, he says, will constantly develop and grow.
This 'Series' celebrates the 'Composition' and 'Egyptian cotton' garments, photographed in Areez's studio by friend and collaborator Olivia Renouf.

Entries and nominations for the 2019 Australian Museum Eureka Prizes, the country's premier national science award, are open. The deadline for submissions is in three weeks. Read more
Employers from across New South Wales were recognised for their support of ADF Reservists at the Defence Reserves Support Council's annual Employer Support Awards event in Sydney.
The inaugural Women in Defence Awards were launched last week at the 15th annual ADM Congress in Canberra.
CASG Deputy Secretary Kim Gillis and ADM Managing Editor Katherine Ziesing announced the finalists of the Essington Lewis Awards 2018.
Tim Ryan of Nova Systems took out the award this year.
Internationally recognised Defence scientist Zenka Mathys has won the 2017 Minister's Award for Achievement in Defence Science for improving fire safety for Navy ships, submarines and crew.
All interested parties are asked to complete an expression of interest document and submit by December 13, 2017.
The Essington Lewis Awards are designed to recognise excellence in the degree to which industry and the Department of Defence have worked together in a spirit of collaboration to overcome challenges or problems.
The award was in recognition of ATS' supply of products and services to the world's largest range contract for the construction of 34 military ranges in the UAE.
Nominations for the awards covered some of the wide range of services that support NZ Defence, including information technology, engineering and catering supplies.
Judges were faced with an unenviable task as a strong lineup of entrants contested the inaugural Maritime Australia Industry Innovation Awards.
Western Australian company Ikad Engineering has been named Outstanding Small to Medium Enterprise at the annual Defence Teaming Centre awards ceremony in Adelaide.
The awards recognise and reward local companies and individuals at the forefront of naval and maritime innovation and carry with them a total of $40,000 in cash prizes.
Start-up telecommunications company, Myriota and wearable technology company IMeasureU, were selected from forty-seven quality industry and university applicants from across Australia and NZ to develop the technology.
Airbus recognised Cablex's successful provision over a decade of electrical harnesses, avionic bays and platform integration services to Airbus for NH90 and Tiger platforms globally.
It is hoped the laser technology can be developed to defend against threats such as drones and missiles or even space junk by being accurate and powerful enough to destroy objects that are a great distance away.
Building on the success of the rebooted event from last year, this year also incorporated the Essington Lewis Awards, where Defence partnered with ADM to recognise excellence in collaboration between CASG teams and industry.

Cardiff City have announced the signings of Neil Etheridge and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing from Walsall and Rochdale respectively.
The duo will officially join the club on July 1 after the expiration of theri current deals. Goalkeeper Etheridge has over fifty international appearances for the Philippines while winger Mendez-Laing made over 70 appearances during his time at Rochdale
Etheridge has also previously played for Bristol Rovers, Crewe Alexandra, Charlton Athletic and Oldham Athletic.
He has been Walsall's number one for the past two seasons, making 94 appearances.
"We haven't had a big goalkeeper, and this lad is 6″2," said Warnock.
"He's always come out on top when we're talking about goalkeepers and we're delighted that he's agreed to sign.
DOUBLE DEAL | #CardiffCity have agreed terms with @Neil38Etheridge & Nathaniel Mendez-Laing ? https://t.co/149v8joiE0#CityAsOne ?⚽?⚽ pic.twitter.com/UngHQGKhC5
— Cardiff City FC (@CardiffCityFC) May 30, 2017
After starting out his career with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Mendez-Laing has enjoyed loan spells at Peterborough United and Sheffield United, before later joining the Posh on a permanent basis.
He has since made over seventy appearances for League One side, Rochdale, scoring 10 goals last season in League One for Dale.
"I've watched him this season in particular and you get hunches about players, as a manager," added Warnock. "I just feel that he can contribute a lot to us next season.
"I think he'll be a very good squad player and it's up to him to get into the first-team and make the position his own. He's only a young lad still, but he's got explosive pace and a lot to prove and I think it's the right place for him. I think the fans will enjoy watching him."
Warnock added: "We've been working hard since the season ended and we're hoping to continue with further exciting announcements in the coming months."

I love this outfit, all of the colours are so pretty and the pink boots are so cute! I know the feeling too, it seems like autumn is just around the corner now, even though it's very sunny here today, there's that chill in the air. - TashaReplyDelete
Love the boots! I've got no idea what's going on with the weather, either. It feels more like November than August right now. (Well, September. I just noticed it's after midnight and has been September for six mins!) Hoping the sunshine comes back before Autumn really sets in. xxReplyDelete

WWDH - Chicken Poached in Coconut Curry
This week, Kayte chose Chicken Poached in Coconut Curry for Wednesday with Donna Hay. You can find the recipe online here.
I really liked this dish - if I had bothered to make rice, it would have been perfect to mop up the lovely coconut red curry sauce. I wish I had also used more sweet potato than I did.
To see what the other Donna devotees thought of this dish, visit the LYL section of the WWDH website.

The more things change…
Posted on | September 29, 2012 | No Comments
All you need to do in this exercise is replace newspaper or journal with digital or social feed. Check it out and then guess what decade this was published.
"Our newspapers are overwhelmed with material that is of no importance. The obvious remedy for this would be more intelligent direction in the collection of news, and more careful sifting and supervision of it when gathered. It becomes every day more apparent to every manager that such discrimination is more necessary. There is no limit to the various intelligence and gossip that our complex life offers ; no paper is big enough to contain it; no reader has time enough to read it. And the journal must cease to be a sort of waste-basket at the end of a telegraph wire, into which any reporter, telegraph operator, or gossip-monger can dump whatever he pleases. We must get rid of the superstition that value is given to an unimportant " item " by sending it a thousand miles over a telegraph wire."
It's from an editor's note in the 19th century San Francisco newspaper, The Argonaut, Jan. 7, 1882. Price 10 cents.
The editor's note goes on to summon the patron saint of this blog as it makes a time-worn about what works in journalism. And today, whether it's a blog, a web page or an e-book or e-article, the principal is timeless:
"Perhaps the most striking feature of the American newspaper, especially of the country weekly, is its enormous development of local and neighborhood news. It is of a recent date. Horace Greeley used to advise the country editors to give small space to the general news of the world, but to cultivate assiduously the home field, to glean every possible detail of private life in the circuit of the country, and print it."

Vintage air travel posters and airline nostalgia. Today Mypixel heads on the wings and takes you up among the clouds. We will see really good looking travel posters.
During the thirties and seventies there was a glamorised adventure to travel by air. Today all that is lost and it´s not that glamorous to fly any more.
But here are some nostalgia from the pages of vintage magazines or gracing old travel posters.
So let us cast a glance back at the day when flying was an event, and airlines treated it accordingly, infusing boundless style and luxury into their ads.
The Golden Age of Air Travel, thus defined, will fall between the 1930s and early 1960s – we will never tire of revisiting these glowing times. The sad thing is that it will never come back that mystified feeling.
So that is what nostalgia is all about. So lets head on to see the Vintage Air Travel Posters and Airline Nostalgia.

By Teachers, For Teachers
Bradley Academy
Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Who was your favorite teacher? Why?
Mr. Thompson, my Latin teacher, was my favorite teacher in high school. He had such a love for learning and made a dead language come alive for all of us.
What are three things every teacher should own?
A Staples Teacher reward card, a stapler, and a pencil sharpener.
If you could have any person (living, dead or fictional) as a principal, who would it be?
If I could have any person as a principal, it would be my grandfather. He inspired me to view education to be as necessary as breathing. He was a life-long learner and now so am I.
What profession other than your own would you most like to attempt?
I would love to have been a forensic anthropologist. I love the process of solving the mystery of what happened in the past.
Describe your all-time favorite lesson/unit activity.
My favorite lesson was done with a 6th grade group of students comprised of resource and language impaired children. We had been discussing adjectives. We (I team taught with the LA teacher) gave them the project of designing a cereal box and creating a commercial that they had to perform for the group. It was AMAZING how involved and excited they became. The commercials were wonderful and full of descriptive phrases.
What is the greatest misconception about teachers?
The greatest misconception is that teachers have it easy. HA!
What stereotype about teachers is true?
Teachers love to organize!
How did you know you wanted to be a teacher?
I kind of fell into teaching. It suited my personality.

Welcome to the New South Wales Human
Rights Education Committee.
The New South Wales Human Rights Education Committee (NSWHREC) was formed early in
2000 with the view to creating close links with the broader
community. Its objectives reflect those of the National Committee. Human rights
education is critical to maintaining and fostering a tolerant, just, equitable and
democratic society. Fundamental to the work of the NSWHREC will be defining and
re-examining human rights education in Australia and ensuring our community draws the greatest possible benefit from it. At the heart of human rights education is
promotion of values and access to knowledge that can be summed up in the Australian ethos of 'a fair go for all'.
The NSWHREC works closely with the National Committee for Human Rights Education. On January 1, 1996, the National
Committee for Human Rights Education joined 21 other countries
in launching the United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education
(1995-2004). The Australian Government responded by setting
up a National Committee on Human Rights Education. The membership of the national committee is representative
of a wide range of community interests whose members provide
support to a variety of educational projects designed to promote
wider community understanding of human rights. Recognising the importance of human rights education in Australia and the existing gaps in its delivery and coordination, a number
of Australians with the support and encouragement of government agencies, business
and community organisations have established a National Committee on Human Rights Education.

Meetings between the city managers of both cities failed to end in a resolution, and the matter now might end up in court.
Talk about a water bill.
Port Orange formally sent Daytona Beach Shores an $825,000 bill for an energy surcharge that Port Orange failed to include in its wholesale water-and-sewer service from March 2009 through last September because of a mistake by its finance department.
Meetings between the city managers of both cities failed to end in a resolution, and the matter now might end up in court.
Daytona Beach Shores says it owes nothing, and rejected a Port Orange proposal in December where that city offered to make improvements to the system over four years with the $825,000.
"The City of Port Orange and the City of Daytona Beach Shores have a long history of working together," Parker wrote in his Thursday letter. "For your further consideration, I am enclosing the bill for the unbilled portion of the Daytona Beach Shores sewer charge."
Fifty-five pages of documentation also were sent, including the rate resolution that implemented the energy surcharge and master meter readings over the 43 months of underbilling.
Daytona Beach Shores City Manager Michael Booker has said his city would not pay for another city's mistake, and was willing to go to court, if necessary. He said in December Port Orange was responsible for "sound managerial and technical control over its utility systems" and that his city cannot be considered a "source of funding" for 43 months of energy surcharge underbilling discovered last fall.
But Port Orange's position has been summed up by Mayor Allen Green, whose take on state law is: "If you owe it, you owe it."
As far as a next step, Green recently said "legal action" might be pursued.
Parker said in his November offer he hoped a negotiated repayment plan could be reached, which ultimately required the approval of elected leaders in both cities.
A Port Orange independent auditor's investigation recently found Finance Director John Shelley and Customer Service Manager Betty Barnhart responsible for possibly as much $2 million in under- and overbilling gaffes that occurred within and outside Port Orange. The biggest mistake in Daytona Beach Shores mainly involved failing to pass along an energy surcharge "that was not assessed against the master meter flows," according to Parker. Both Barnhart and Shelley opted for early retirement.

50 Percent of Missoula Students Proficient in Math, 57 Percent Proficient in Reading
The Smarter Balance standardized test results for Montana were released today, August 17, and offer a perspective on how well local students are doing. Missoula County School District One Superintendent Mark Thane says Missoula schools are outperforming the state average.
"We don't have data yet on other states, but I can say that statewide totals for Montana showed in math 41 percent of the students scoring Proficient or Advanced, in Missoula County Public Schools that number was 50 percent of the students, so nine points higher than the state average," Thane said.
Local students also outperformed most of their statewide peers in reading.
"The reading proficiency rate across the state was 50 percent and in Missoula County Public Schools the proficiency rate was 57 percent, so again, seven points higher than the state average," Thane said. "When we look at this data, with Missoula County Public schools scoring higher than the state average in a state that tends to score in top ten nationally, I think there could be some good news there."
There may also be some bad news. Thane says he was "concerned" and says that proficiency rates were not what he expected. About 30 percent of Missoula students fell into the "near-proficient" category in both reading and math, which may explain the difference.

Thuthukani Preschool
see website: www.thuthukani-preschool.co.za/
Thuthukani Creche
Thuthukani Creche in the rural area on the road to Paddock.
Building Thuthukani Creche was quite a unique endeavour in that the local municipality UGU, the local community (Mrs. Lushaba) and the church, the St. John's Lutheran Congregation, backed by congregations of the SELK in Germany, took hands together to get this building off the ground. The congregation has undertaken to supervise the maintenance of the building and by having members on the board to ensure the continuity of creche.

Angels Care KZN: Shelter for the Homeless
- History of the Angels Care KZN Centre
- and lessons learned by it
This scan through the history of the ACKZN is written from the perspective of the pastor of the St. John's Lutheran Parish. This report was accepted as a true account at the governing body meeting of 21 March 2015 in Elysium KZN.
- Peoples Rescue: First Phase
Soon another lady took over the management and she decided to do all devotions on her own. She eventually asked all pastors to not come any more as she wanted to do all the counselling herself. Most people left the centre as they were forced to listen to the DVDs of the specific confession of management. Where were these people going? The original lady came to the rescue and got hold of an old farm-house near Elim mission station. That is where most of the people from the shelter near Skogheim where going. At that stage people, who had migrated from this shelter to Paddock, managed to contact the pastor of St. Johns' Lutheran through the farmers living in the area. In this way the original Catechises and Counselling could continue at the new premises.
Still, there was no proper management in place and soon the centre was handed over to Angels Wings. Angels Wings is managed by a man and his wife who reside at the base homeless shelter in Benoni. He installed the current managers Janndre and Carlin as managers of the then Angels Wings. Now the centre had a more structured management. Janndre and Carlin had to report to a manager above themselves. This was the beginning of a relatively stable time of building up the old farmhouse. Nevertheless, conditions were harsh. The centre depended solely on donations. Janndre spent his time trying to find funds and food for the people. Another problem was, that management was on duty 24/7 for 365 days a year. This was a very unhealthy system, but without necessary funds what was to be done.
At some stage a couple from Richmond got involved. They had a shop and started to donate more and more to the centre. Through them more people got involved, even as far as Harburg. The local community climbed in and much assistance was granted. Many other congregations of the community got involved and regular services were held almost every Sunday. In the mean time some management frustrations had crept in as donations could not be handed over because no financial audit was available to proof transparency. It was in those days that the idea of calling in a proper governing body to run the centre was pursued. Janndre and Carlin applied for a NPO number so that the shelter with its own name, "Angels Care KZN", could start to implement its own governing body. A governing body structure was pursued because it would ensure that the centre would be run with proven accountability, balances and checks. After a long wait and after some handing over problems this eventually happened. A governing body was called together which started meeting regularly.
- Angels Care KZN: Second Phase
- Lake Placid
- Finances
- Problems
- The Move
- ACKZN in another Crisis
Some weeks before this critical meeting huge offence was taken by management when a self-proclaimed pastor, accompanied by the wife of the landlord, confiscated Baptism candles and wind-chimes because they were supposedly demonic. From management's point of view this is when serious tension arose. When the wife of the landlord refused the entry of a women with child because she was not married the relationship between management and the wife of the landlord finally broke down.
To cut a long story short: The wife of the landlord demanded that management be fired immediately and a long list of accused needed to be thrown out of the centre too. After a lengthy and lively debate the governing body decided to give management thirty days to get the centre in good order again. The main reason for granting this second chance was the lack of proper evidence. Secondly there was the reasoning that as this was more a shelter than a recovery centre, operating under very harsh conditions, having to deal with people who cannot help themselves it would be better for all involved to use this experience as a learning curve.
In the same week the wife of the landlord handed in her resignation from the governing body. After the governing body had received an appeal from all residents to get another chance, this was granted.
Due to the conflict between management and the governing body on the one hand and the wife of the landlord on the other hand, the landlord terminated the lease of the property. An agreement was reached to be out by the end of February 2015.
Of course a lot of detail is left out. This is just the bare-bone story of the conflict.
- Move to Elysium
- Lessons to be learned from the conflict
- There were different expectations as to what this centre was supposed to be. The expectations of the wife of the landlord were going more in the direction of a recovery centre which would not accept any deviation from the Law of God. The rest of the governing body saw this centre to be merely a shelter for the homeless. Such a shelter needs strict basic rules and governance. At the same time one needs to remember with whom you are dealing. Trying to rigidly enforce the Ten Commandments amongst people who have been kicked out so many times in their lives will not really help them. They will just be passed on. The deadly spiral will not be broken.
- One needs to understand the situation these people find themselves in. The thing which they have heard most of the time is exactly this: accusations. And rightly so. They are no angels. This is no secret. They come to the shelter because no one can or wants to help them any-more. This can often be heard when speaking to the relatives. So what does it help to once again kick them out? It is nothing new to them. They are so used to this action. They will just move on, to be kicked out again and again and again? Is that a solution? Is that the best we can do? Just give them the boot around South Africa? We have to realise they come to the shelter because neither they nor their relatives are able to help! Of course there needs to be boundaries.
- One of the big lessons we learn from this conflict is that this kind of shelter ultimately needs its own piece of land where vegetables and other food can be planted etc. At best the governing body should own the land so that the right measure of oversight and discipline can be applied without interference from outside. What these people need is stability, discipline and a safe haven to return to. Above all they need love and compassion. They need the sacrificial love of Christ more than anything else in the world which the Christian counsellors should convey to them. This compassion shown to them can give them hope. Once they have a little bit of hope the desire to change is close by. And with time, through many failures and backslides, there might be a slight improvement. This is a realistic scenario.
- Yet as a Christian one needs to be careful not to Bible bash or enforce Christianity on people. It should be offered, but never enforced. When the Gospel is preached in its orthodox form, it will come across as a fresh breeze of new life and new mercies for every morning. It is when the Gospel is turned into Law, that people are judged rather than forgiven! To be sure, there is a place for the Law of God, namely to condemn the old sinful nature. But the Gospel should be preached with the Law to ensure that despair does not set in. This means giving people more than one chance to fall and stand up again, as long as there is repentance somewhere along the line.
- If anyone does not want to be administered according to Christian teachings, this should be respected. The ACKZN is a homeless shelter for all people of all creeds and religions in the first place and not a church.
- The way forward: What would be necessary to really improve such a centre?
- A piece of land, maybe a small-holding, belonging to the governing body of the centre.
- Governing body envisaged to have a building or buildings with enough space for about a 100 people.
- At best such a centre needs some or at least one large company or group to sponsor them with a fixed or fairly fixed donation every month (Total of R60000+ / month) which would cover the basic food and living costs. Then the focus could be on the management of the people not where to get enough donations and food for the people.
- There needs to be proper training, holidays and career planning for management and other staff-members.
- Proper networking with local Police Force and hospitals and Child Welfare is essential.
- Financial transparency is of utmost importance at all times.

Then there is a very interesting website telling the story of two homeless cousins, the one an artist, the other a writer. then god spoke
The writer of the two, Rodney, has written poems telling about his experience. He has given me permission to publish them here on this website. This can give you a good idea what these people typically experience and how they see things.
He called it: "Perceptions of life". Here they are:

Happy Sketch Challenge Day! Today's Sketch Challenge #653 at SCS is a fun one! For this card I used a few new goodies from ODBD. The sentiment is from Bon Voyage. I made a frame with Double Stitched Rectangles, The Boho Bolds paper in the background was cut with one of the Leafy Edged Borders to make the wavy layers in the sketch. I did flip the waves in the opposite position. My three elements are the new Hibiscus and Frangipani flowers. They are surrounded by Tropical Leaves and Ferns.
Thanks for coming by to visit!
Have a wonderful day!

I recently purchased Frog Legs and Ponytails' Caroline Dress PDF pattern for only $9.99.The pattern includes sizes 0-8 and a matching doll pattern! It's a beautiful dress and the instructions are very clear and detailed with a few helpful tips too. You can tell a lot of time and effort went into the making of this pattern.
Using the Caroline Dress pattern and inspired by ZoZoBugBaby's beautiful Karaleigh Dress, I made a lovely dress for Serenity last night. The Karaleigh Dress is similar to the Caroline Dress, but it has a gorgeous double ruffle at the bottom instead of a band. It's so girly and twirly! Both of the dresses are kinda like "pillowcase"dresses, but so much more charming! I am totally impressed at the wonderful fabric combinations Julie comes up with when she designs her clothes!
While my fabric combo isn't nearly as striking as Julie's, I think I did a pretty good job sewing my first "pillowcase" dress! I played around in Photoshop again using Pioneer Woman's free action sets: 1 & 2 and got these cool vintagey type results:
Please ignore the dog hair all over Serenity's dress! Gizmo (or Gizzy Mo!), my Japanese Chin, sheds like crazy and his longs white hairs really showed up on that black & while polka dot ruffle fabric!
POST-IT NOTE: ZoZoBugBaby's $10 skirt sale starts tomorrow at 8AM PST (or 10AM CST). Plan to hit her store during that time! Hurry and place your orders quick! Last time Julie's skirts went on sale, they sold within 3 minutes of posting!! I'm hoping I can grab a couple for Serenity before she sells out!! And don't for get to check out the ZoZoBugBaby blog for all of Julie's latest updates!
The Frog Legs and Ponytails' Caroline Dress PDF pattern was worth every penny too! If you're looking for an "uptown & classy" pillowcase dress pattern, then this pattern is the one to buy!
Have fun sewing!

History is the story of humanity. It is the examination of the written record of major social, political, cultural, and economic events of the past. The study of history seeks to form narratives and uncover linked sequences and patterns in past events. It also investigates cause and effect, or why certain outcomes happened as they did and how they are linked to earlier events.
Enriching and fascinating, the history courses offered at Wallace Community College will spark your imagination and help develop your writing, critical analysis, and research skills. At least one history course is required for students who seek a transfer degree (Associate in Arts or Associate in Science).
