Stow -- Additional budget reductions are on the horizon if the Stow-Munroe Falls School District does not obtain new funding by 2008, according to school officials.
Ryan Ghizzoni, who has been working for the district on a consulting basis since leaving his post as treasurer May 14, presented a five-year forecast of the district's finances to the Board of Education May 24. The forecast, which the Board approved that night, outlines the schools' projected financial situation through 2011. The state requires local school districts to submit five-year forecasts each May and districts must submit revised forecasts each October.
Ghizzoni presented good news and bad news to the Board during the presentation.
He said the district is expected to see a slight positive fund balance in 2008, but that balance will come from budget reductions and other savings.
The Board recently approved cuts to its budget because voters rejected a 4.17-mill operating levy May 8 that would have generated $3.9 million for the district annually for five years.
Ghizzoni said the cuts are expected to total $775,000.
"Without the reductions, we would consistently be going into further debt," he said.
More savings occurred from a $125,000 decrease in utility costs this past winter, and school officials reduced their workers' compensation costs by $100,000, said Ghizzoni.
He added the district also is slated to save $450,000 through 2009 when certain staff members retire. A cost reduction would occur if those employees are replaced by individuals who would earn lower salaries, said Ghizzoni.
However, he said, these cost savings will not solve the district's financial problems.
In 2009, the district will begin deficit spending unless a new revenue source is found, said Ghizzoni.
He also said the $775,000 cuts would affect only the budget for the 2007-08 school year, so without new money, additional and, most likely, larger cuts would be required in the future.
"It's important the district passes a 7.7-mill renewal levy in November 2007 to continue the current revenue stream," Ghizzoni recommended, adding a new levy of a similar value to the failed May issue also should be sought in March 2008. He recommended the Board should not ask voters to pass two levies in November.
Declining property values for new construction and flat-lined state funding are hampering the district's ability to fund its operations, said Ghizzoni.
Board President John Pribonic said school officials would prefer not to make cuts, but, "it was one of those decisions we had to make."
Boardmembers have not determined whether they will ask voters to pass a renewal levy in November or seek new money next March.
Copies of the five-year forecast are available in the district's central office on Allen Road in Stow.

On the outer part of your aura I see your personal Animal Spirit Guides. These energies are called Totems from the Native American Indian word for friend. I also see Energy Centres, known as Chakras which is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel. These centres are multi-dimensional vortexes that appear as shimmering spheres of light that speak in colour, sound and vibration. They reflect issues around health, emotional attachments, and the use and direction of your universal or Divine energy (also known as prana / chi or ki). I offer personal spiritual art sessions at my venue, as well as various Festivals and Spiritual Centres/shops. I also offer postal Readings. For further information, please click on the link below:

This traditional ceremony opens us up to walk the shaman's path, and we can all do this if we receive the right guidance, training and inspiration. I felt then, as I do now, that my work could help others find their own inner visions. (Please read my book: Ghost Mountain if this intrigues you!)If my shamanic journey interests you, and you feel a calling to walk the shaman's path, please read my Shaman's Door series about my experiences with the Native Indians many years ago. If you want to go deeper, consider attending my gatherings or healing circles.
My focus is on "self empowerment" because the shamanic belief is that we are all equal spiritual beings! If any of us is in pain, we are all in pain.. and of course, as one is healed, we are all healed Therefore healing ourselves is the most selfless thing we can do.I invite you to browse through this website and read the many articles and blogs I have written. If these offerings ring an inner bell, then a session, reading, a book or CD will support your spiritual journey. We are all here to support, encourage and assist one another evolve to the higher vibrations of spirit, and we do that by following our intuitive instincts, inner messages, gut feelings and attractions.
It really is that simple!

Unless we unite around a pathway to citizenship, our teachers and students could face deportation.
February 28, 2017
Teach For America came out in support of the DREAM Act in 2011 to provide pathways to citizenship for children who came to the States without documentation. We believe all children deserve the right to pursue higher education and careers without a threat of deportation.
Meet Our Managing Director of DACA Corps Member Support
I was proud Teach For America took this stance because I was an undocumented student myself. My family came to this country in search of opportunity, escaping violence and poverty in Mexico. While my mother worked as a housekeeper and my father worked as a mechanic, I did what so many undocumented students do—hid my immigration status and focused on getting good grades in school.
Fortunately, I lived in Texas, one of the few states in the country that allowed undocumented students to attend college and pay in-state tuition. I was able to enroll and graduate from the University of Texas at Austin. Fourteen years later, I adjusted my status through my husband and sought a job where I could make a difference for immigrant youths.
That led me to Teach For America, where I've made it my mission to recruit and support corps members who are formerly undocumented immigrants and to train all corps members on how to help undocumented students navigate the education system.
On Teach For America's Support
When Congress failed to pass the DREAM Act, Teach For America backed an interim solution presented by President Obama in June 2012 known as Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Qualified young adults, essentially the same group defined as DREAMers, could apply for DACA status and receive renewable, two-year work permits and temporary relief from deportation. This was life-altering for young immigrants, who were able to work, obtain driver's licenses, get health insurance, open bank accounts and provide for their families.
In 2013, Teach For America was among the first organizations to recruit college graduates with DACA status into the workforce. Our first DACA cohort consisted of two teachers hired in one district. Today, 136 alumni and corps members with DACA status are working in classrooms to expand educational opportunities for more than 6,000 students in 11 states. Another 10 DACA alumni are promoting equity in the nonprofit, corporate, and higher education sectors, including one enrolled in medical school and one on staff at Teach For America.
In keeping with our mission, our DACA teachers work in shortage-area subjects and hard-to-staff schools. Vanessa teaches social studies in a high-poverty New York City school. Priscilla teaches science just 10 minutes from the border of Mexico. Many of our DACA teachers are bilingual like Alexis, or they bring Ivy League educations to the classroom like Jose. And like Gianella and Jaime they all serve as role models and navigators for students who face the intersecting challenges of poverty and undocumented status.
Yet these incredible leaders with DACA status face a serious risk. The White House has signaled it may rescind DACA and stop approving or renewing DACA applications. Our DACA teachers and leaders would lose their ability to work and would be at risk of deportation—a far cry from the pathway to citizenship these individuals deserve. Such a move would have far-reaching impacts on our students and communities.
The Pew Research Center estimates almost 7 percent of K-12 students are undocumented or have one undocumented parent at home. That's an average of two kids per classroom. If DACA is rescinded without a solution in place, these students would lose the chance to connect with teachers who mirror their life experiences and the legal pathway to driver's licenses, jobs, and higher education. They could be separated from their families or deported to countries they've never known as home.
Our nearly 150 corps members, alumni and staff with DACA status are just a small segment of the 700,000 DACA recipients employed across the country today. All told, the Center for American Progress estimates that ending the employment of these taxpayers, who own cars and homes and contribute to all sectors of the economy, would reduce the nation's GDP by $433.4 billion over a decade.
Teach For America is proud of the impact our DACA leaders have made on our corps, communities, and country. We will continue to provide them legal assistance and classroom resources during this time of uncertainty, as we fiercely advocate for lawmakers to reintroduce and move forward with the DREAM Act.
We see every day that our corps members, alumni, and staff with DACA status are role models who create safe and welcoming classrooms for all of our students and contribute to the economy. They deserve a pathway to citizenship. We ask Congress and the White House to recognize their contributions and find a permanent solution that will allow them to fulfill their American dreams.

Newborn photography is a popular trend among new parentsâand for good reason. Who doesn't want timeless photos to treasure of this special time in your life? And, I mean, come on, newborn photos are pretty much the best thing ever!
It's almost too much cuteness to handle!
Seriously, this cutie in an oversized bowtie!
But, there is a very cool new trend in the world of baby photography. Photographer Jocelyn Conway has started something called the "Bump Bowl." She creates a plaster cast of a pregnant woman's baby bump when she's about 36 weeks pregnant. The, after baby is born, Conway snaps photos of the newborn nestled in the cast mama's belly. Awwwwww! How sweet.
Pregnant belly casts have been popular for a while now, and this latest twist gives the keepsake  casts a dual purpose. You get to have a cast of your pregnant belly as a commemorative item, but also as a photography prop for when your new baby arrives!
And it is just amazing to see how newborn babies fit into their mamas' bellies. It gives us such a unique view of what they might look like in utero. Look how snug and cozy they are!
Forget about boxes and beds and other photography props. A bump bowl is the perfect container for a baby! It's just as Mother Nature intended.
How content does this baby look? We bet she is happy to be back in mom's belly again. . .at least until she can be back in her arms!
The "Bump Bowl"Â trend is probably one that will be here to stay for a while, and with pictures this cute, it is easy to see why.

Is there any better vessel to cradle a newborn baby, than a beautiful replica of safe place he most recently resided? Such a beautiful and personal prop, and I'm so glad this mother brought it to me to use. Bonnet hand knit by me. #highrivernewbornphotographer #highrivernewbornphotography #okotoksnewbornphotographer #okotoksnewbornphotography #calgarynewbornphotographer #calgarynewbornphotography #yycnewbornphotographer #yycnewbornphotography #highriver #okotoks #calgary #yyc #newborn #newbornphotographer #newbornphotographer #littleandbrave #lifeandlensblog #clickinmoms #inbeautyandchaos #thebloomforum #canon #5dmarkiii #bumpbowl #bellycast #knitting #handknit #knittersofinstagram
I mean, look at how perfectly they fit in there! What a fun way to use your pregnancy cast and make the most of your baby's first photography session.
These photos give you a glimpse of how your babe may have been positioned in your womb.

World Wide Web Inventor :: Sir Tim Berners Lee
Sir Timothy John " Tim " Berners – Lee, OM (Order of Merit), KBE ( Knight Commander Order Of The British Empire), FRS, FREng, FRSA (born 8 June 1955), also known as "TimBL", is a British computer scientist, MIT professor and the inventor of the World Wide Web. He made a proposal for an information management system in March 1989 and on 25 December 1990, with the help of Robert Cailliau and a young student at CERN, he implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the Internet.
Berners – Lee is the director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which oversees the Web's continued development. He is also the founder of the World Wide Web Foundation and is a senior researcher and holder of the Founders Chair at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). He is a director of the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI), and a member of the advisory board of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence.
In 2004, Berners – Lee was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his pioneering work. In April 2009, he was elected a foreign associate of the United States National Academy of Sciences. He was honoured as the 'Inventor of the World Wide Web' in a section of the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony in which he appeared in person, working at a NeXT Computer at the London Olympic Stadium. He tweeted "This is for everyone", which was instantly spelled out in LCD lights attached to the chairs of the 70,500 people in the audience.

I played the single player campaign of Crysis 2 a couple of weeks ago. I found the single player campaign to be short and enjoyable. This game adds the ability to upgrade your nano suit which allows for a limited amount of variety which is nice. The New York location makes for a nice change from the tropical island setting of the previous games as well. Overall this game did not seem to be be as "big" a game as the previous two episodes. That isn't just a matter of length, it seems to me that Crysis 2 has less variety of scenarios and enemies than the previous games and is more on rails. One simple example is that you can no longer just jump into any vehicle you see and use it. There are a few vehicular segments but they run pretty much on rails. Still good though, just not as good. Crytek brought out a super duper DX11 graphics patch the day after I finished the game. I installed it and replayed a couple of levels but to be honest I didn't really notice the difference. The base game looked good enough for me.
Next on to Medal of Honor 2010, EA's attempt to tackle modern warfare and dethrone Activision's Call of Duty series. This was something of a disappointment. Although the game combines all the elements in its Afghanistan setting with high tech tier 1 soldiers combating hundreds of Taliban it is far less polished than Activision's games. The "on rails" nature of the campaign is emphasised to the point of annoyance. In many segments for example the game automatically switches you to a certain weapon regardless of whether or not you were previously carrying that weapon in the inventory. You might think that such hand holding would make a game easier but amazingly it sometimes makes it harder. In one example my buddy asked me to snipe enemies on a far away hill. Luckily I had a sniper rifle in my inventory so I pulled it out and scanned the hill for targets. Unfortunately it was very dark and I couldn't see much through the limited zoom on my scope. I fired away at imaginary targets for several minutes while my npc buddy berated me for not killing any enemy. Then, more by chance than design, I took a few steps forward and hit an invisible trigger point. Abracadabra I was suddenly wielding a super duper sniper rifle with night vision long range scope. Arghhh. Similar magical trigger points occur throughout the game and combined with unskippable cut scenes they are a damned nuisance.
I found that this game also raises a few issues in relation to the asymmetrical nature of the conflict. At least in WWII games your opponents had similar levels of technology to you but In Afghanistan playing as a US soldier you are equipped with state of the art weaponry while your opponents wield 1950's era AK47s and RPGs. In order to provide some challenge the game throws hundred of them against you but you would need to be entirely devoid of a conscience to not have some qualms about destroying entire Afghan villages just to rescue one marine not to mention the limited opportunities it presents for exciting game play. To be honest from a pure game play point of view it would probably be more entertaining to play a badly equipped Taliban fighting the might of the USA but I can understand why this would not be politically acceptable in the Western market. For these reasons I am not entirely convinced it makes sense to use ongoing conflicts as a platform for games - better to stick with historical conflicts or with fictional ones.
I didn't try multiplayer on either of these games.

$ cnpm install @fullstax/svg-sprite
is a low-level Node.js module that takes a bunch of SVG files, optimizes them and bakes them into SVG sprites of several types:
<view> elements, useful for foreground images as well,
<defs> element,
<symbol> element
It comes with a set of Mustache templates for creating stylesheets in good ol' CSS or one of the major pre-processor formats (Sass, Less and Stylus). Tweaking the templates or even adding your own custom output format is really easy, just as switching on the generation of an HTML example document along with your sprite.
For an up-to-date list of browsers supporting SVG in general respectively SVG fragment identifiers in particular (required for
<defs> and
<symbol> sprites as well as SVG stacks) please refer to caniuse.com.
Being a low-level library with support for Node.js streams, svg-sprite doesn't take on the part of accessing the file system (i.e. reading the source SVGs from and writing the sprites and CSS files to disk). If you don't want to take care of this stuff yourself, you might rather have a look at the available wrappers for Grunt (grunt-svg-sprite) and Gulp (gulp-svg-sprite). svg-sprite is also the foundation of the iconizr project, which serves high-quality SVG based CSS icon kits with PNG fallbacks.
To install svg-sprite globally, run
npm install svg-sprite -g
on the command line.
Crafting a sprite with svg-sprite typically follows these steps:
The procedure is the very same for all supported sprite types («modes»).
// Create spriter instance (see below for `config` examples)
var spriter = new SVGSpriter(config);
// Add SVG source files — the manual way ...
spriter.add('assets/svg-1.svg', null, fs.readFileSync('assets/svg-1.svg', {encoding: 'utf-8'}));
spriter.add('assets/svg-2.svg', null, fs.readFileSync('assets/svg-2.svg', {encoding: 'utf-8'}));
/* ... */
// Compile the sprite
spriter.compile(function(error, result) {
/* Write `result` files to disk (or do whatever with them ...) */
for (var mode in result) {
for (var resource in result[mode]) {
fs.writeFileSync(result[mode][resource].path, result[mode][resource].contents);
As you can see, big parts of the above are dealing with disk I/O. In this regard you can make your life easier by using the Grunt or Gulp wrappers instead of the standard API.
Of course you noticed the
config variable passed to the constructor in the above example. This is svg-sprite's main configuration — an
Object with the following properties:
dest: <String>, // Main output directory
log: <String|Logger>, // Logging verbosity or custom logger
shape: <Object>, // SVG shape configuration
svg: <Object>, // Common SVG options
variables: <Object>, // Custom templating variables
mode: <Object> // Output mode configurations
If you don't provide a configuration object altogether, svg-sprite uses built-in defaults for these properties, so in fact they are all optional. However, you will need to enable at least one output mode (
mode property) to get reasonable results (i.e. a sprite of some type).
Many configuration properties (all except
mode) apply to all sprites created by the same spriter instance. The default values are:
// Common svg-sprite config options and their default values
var config = {
dest: '.', // Main output directory
log: null, // Logging verbosity (default: no logging)

Please refer to the configuration documentation for details.
At the moment, svg-sprite supports five different output modes (i.e. sprite types), each of them having it's own characteristics and use cases. It's up to you to decide which sprite type is the best choice for your project. The
mode option controls which sprite types are created. You may enable more than one output mode at a time — svg-sprite will happily create several sprites in parallel.
To enable the creation of a specific sprite type with default values, simply set the appropriate
mode property to
var config = {
mode: {
css: true, // Create a «css» sprite
view: true, // Create a «view» sprite
defs: true, // Create a «defs» sprite
symbol: true, // Create a «symbol» sprite
stack: true // Create a «stack» sprite
To further configure a sprite, pass in an object with configuration options:
// «symbol» sprite with CSS stylesheet resource
var config = {
mode: {
css: {
// Configuration for the «css» sprite
// ...
mode properties are shared between the different sprite types, but there are also type specific options. Please refer to the configuration documentation for a complete list of settings.
// Common mode properties
var config = {
mode: {
<mode>: {
dest: "<mode>", // Mode specific output directory
prefix: "svg-%s", // Prefix for CSS selectors
dimensions: "-dims", // Suffix for dimension CSS selectors
sprite: "svg/sprite.<mode>.svg", // Sprite path and name
bust: true || false, // Cache busting (mode dependent default value)
render: { // Stylesheet rendering definitions
/* -------------------------------------------
css: false, // CSS stylesheet options
scss: false, // Sass stylesheet options
less: false, // LESS stylesheet options
styl: false, // Stylus stylesheet options
<custom>: ... // Custom stylesheet options
------------------------------------------- */
example: false // Create an HTML example document
Foreground image sprite with
<symbol> elements (for being
<use>d in your HTML source):
// «symbol» sprite with CSS stylesheet resource
var config = {
mode: {
inline: true, // Prepare for inline embedding
symbol: true // Create a «symbol» sprite
Traditional CSS sprite with a Sass stylesheet:
// «css» sprite with Sass stylesheet resource
var config = {
mode: {
css: { // Create a «css» sprite
render: {
scss: true // Render a Sass stylesheet
<defs> sprite,
<symbol> sprite and an SVG stack all at once:
// «defs», «symbol» and «stack» sprites in parallel
var config = {
mode: {
defs: true,
symbol: true,
stack: true
mode-less run, returning the optimized SVG shapes only:
// Just optimize source SVG files, create no sprite
var config = {
shape: {
dest: 'path/to/out/dir'
Depending on your particular configuration, svg-sprite creates a lot of files that partly refer to each other. There are several configuration options controlling the exact location of each file, and you are well advised to spend a moment on understanding how they interrelate with each other.
Relative destination paths refer to their ancestors as shown in the following scheme, with the current working directory being the ultimate base.
Destination option Default Comment
cwd $ <dest>/ . Main output directory
<mode.css.dest>/ css «css» base directory
<mode.css.sprite> svg/sprite.css.svg Sprite location
<mode.css.render.css.dest> sprite.css CSS stylesheet location
<mode.css.render.scss.dest> sprite.scss Sass stylesheet location
<mode.view>/ view «view» base directory
By default, stylesheet resources are generated directly into the respective mode's base directory.
"Oh wait! Didn't you say that svg-sprite doesn't access the file system? So why do you need output directories at all?" — Well, good point. svg-sprite uses vinyl file objects to pass along virtual resources and to specify where they are intended to be located. This is especially important for relative file paths (e.g. the path of an SVG sprite as used by a CSS stylesheet).
Special care needs to be taken when you create a CSS sprite («css» or «view» mode) along with a stylesheet in one of the pre-processor formats (Sass, LESS, Stylus etc.). In this case, calculating the correct relative SVG sprite path as used by the stylesheets can become tricky, as your (future) plain CSS compilation doesn't necessarily lie side by side with the pre-processor file. svg-sprite doesn't know anything about your pre-processor workflow, so it might have to estimate the location of the CSS file:
mode.<mode>.render.css.dest as the CSS stylesheet location.
mode.<mode>.render.css to
TRUE, the default value applies, which is
mode.<mode>.dest / "sprite.css".
mode.<mode>.dest / "sprite.css".
So even if you don't enable plain CSS output explicitly, please make sure to set
mode.<mode>.dest to where your final CSS file is intended to be.
The complete configuration documentation including all options can be found here.
To get you quickly off the ground, I made a simple online configurator that lets you create a custom svg-sprite configuration in seconds. You may download the results as plain JSON, Node.js project, Gruntfile or Gulpfile. Please visit the configurator at http://jkphl.github.io/svg-sprite.
In order to improve accessibility, svg-sprite can read meta data from a YAML file and inject
<title> and
<description> elements into your SVGs. Please refer to the meta data injection guide for details.
For CSS sprites using a
"horizontal" or
"vertical" layout it is sometimes desirable to align the shapes within the sprite. With the help of an external YAML file, svg-sprite can not only control the alignment for each individual shape but also create displaced copies of them without significantly increasing the sprite's file size.
svg-sprite uses Mustache templates for rendering the various CSS resources. This makes it very easy to tailor the generated CSS / Sass / LESS / Stylus resources to your needs or add completely new output formats. Please refer to the templating guide to learn about the details.
svg-sprite comes with a pretty feature complete command line version. A typical example could look like this:
$ svg-sprite --css --css-render-css --css-example --dest=out assets/*.svg
Please refer to the CLI guide for further details.
<style> or
<script> elements contained in the file

300 gr of minced meat(usually lamb)
100 gr rice
1 finely chopped onion
3 tbsp butter
1 egg
Salt as taste
1 tsp of pepper, ground coriander, cumin seeds
For shape:
Tomatoes, it depends on your tomatoes size. Take as much tomato as all your filling will be used up
For base:
60 gr vegetable oil
1 onion chopped
All remaining tomato content that was take out
Sour cream for serving
Wash your tomatoes carefully, cut the top and take out all of content with small teaspoon. Fill with meat. Fill all of your tomatoes in this way. Heat up oil, put onion and fry until golden add tomato content continue frying until smooth. Reduce heat. Put carefully all of tomatoes in pot face up. Pour some water that covers tomatoes for 2/3. Bring to boil, then cover the lid of your pot. Cook until rice is ready for approximately 30-40 min. Take from heat, take tomatoes very carefully as they are soft and barely hold their shape.
Serve with some vegetables and sour cream:)

The video "Take a look at the World" (Ralph Myerz feat Annie) is out. Annie wrote it in December while she was stuck in Bergen – Annie and Ralph's Norwegian home town. An awfully soggy city in winter time. Annie simply had to write this sunny travelogue: a dreamy escape from icy fjords, snowmen and the cold north wind. This is a sunny winter song about distant shores, beaches and partys elsewhere on the planet.
The single will be out in US, UK and Asia on June 25th. This is the first single from Ralph Myerz' forthcoming album "SuperSonic Pulse" (DiscoPinata Records). The video is directed by Øystein Fyxe. Final mix & touch: Röyksopp. Filmed in Barcelona, Tokyo, Berlin, Bergen and New York. A vibrant nocturnal ride through the world.
Ralph Myerz explains: "As it´s 10 years since my debut and since I´ve worked with so many nice artists on SSP, I wanted to have something extra special which could connect the dots from the Bergen days and till 2013. I had this track that I thought would be perfect for Annie, so I asked her and she said yes straight away! After recording the vocals in Berlin and after I did the first rough mix,I knew this track would be taken to the next level if Røyksopp did the final mix & touch.
It´s something I really want to look at when I´m 75 years old, and think wow!! I did some crazy stuff back then! Supersonic Pulse is like my own personal musical memory scrap book containing all my favourite artists!"
The album also features George Clinton, Snoop Dogg, Diana Ross and David Banner and many more.
Recorded in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and of course Bergen…

I believe that small groups are essential and the best way to do effective student ministry in today's culture. To have an effective small group, you must have an effective small group leader. I would venture to say that the effectiveness of your small group ministry hinges on the small group leaders. You get the point. Small group leaders, you are very important to the success of the student ministry. I want to share 5 thoughts that are on my mind this morning that I want small group leaders to know:
- You get what you put into it– You know the saying, "you get what you pay for?" It simply means that if you go cheap, many times, you get a cheap product. If you go expensive, many times you get an expensive product. It makes sense. In small group ministry, you get what you put into it. If you put little time into it, your small group will be of little value. On the contrary, if you put a lot of time into your small group, your small group will be of great value. So, it is up to you. Put time and effort into your small group. Target a student not there, and go out of your way to contact them encouraging them to get back involved. Speak with your students outside of small group time. Put time into them, and you will see results. Do not be frustrated with the lack of results in your small group when you as the leader have not put time into the small group.
- Being on time and consistent is more than you realize– I understand things come up, we get sick, we have to work late, but being on time and being there consistently is important. First of all, your example is on the line. If you are not consistent, how can we expect our students to be? Secondly, consistency is important, because students need consistency from their small group leader. They will open up to someone that is consistent week in and week out more than someone who they see once a month. Leaders, try to be consistent! Your students need it. Also, being on time each week shows students how much you care and value their time and your investment in their life.
- Never underestimate the power of love– Every student needs love from their small group leader. Students will make mistakes, and they will annoy you at times, but remember to always love them. Love them in the good and the bad. Do not use your leadership at the small group to only discipline and boss them around. Use it to love them.
- Set the example– If we expect our students to do their daily devotions with God, we need to be doing ours. If we expect our students to be consistent in coming to youth group, we must be consistent in coming to youth group. If we expect our students to attend events, we must try to come to events. Good leaders duplicate themselves. I am afraid in many cases though that bad leaders duplicate themselves as well. Students will many times emulate what they see from you so be consistent and set the example.
- Minister to the entire family– if you have not tried to meet the parents of your students, you are missing the point of family ministry. You are not called to simply meet the individual needs of the students, but we signed up to minister to the entire family. You are not the parent, the parents are. We must inform, educate, and encourage the parents in their position as the parents. Get to know them, talk with them, and encourage them. Share positive growth about their student to them. Share concerns in a loving and mentoring way with them about their student. Pray for them and pray with them!

Sturgeon spearing has its roots in Native American customs. Specific rules and regulations have changed several times, but the Lake Winnebago system is now a model for management agencies around the world.
Sturgeon spawning is a yearly event that draws spectators, researchers, wardens and volunteer guards. They gather on the banks of Wisconsin's Wolf River and its tributaries, where the fish journey to spawn on the rocky banks from where they themselves hatched years before. It's truly a sight to behold, and all of the sturgeon look like the ancient creatures they are—nearly unchanged for 150 million years.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'services' tag.
The IAHSA and LeadingAge Housing with Services Study Tour was inspiring, informative and interesting. Each of the five communities we visited brought something new to the table and showed what dedication and commitment can do for senior living.
The most important lessons we took with us are seldom taught, and less often shared. The leaders of Jewish Community Housing for the Elderly, Hebrew Senior Life, Sanborn Place, Cathedral Square and Hearth Inc taught us the following:
1) You can make anything happen with volunteers.
- Many of the services we saw including fitness, educational initiatives and caregiving were conducted not by paid staff, but by willing volunteers. Students, retired seniors, community centers and relatives can be found all around us. Why not utilize their talents and time to enrich your community?
2) Maintenance Staff are the eyes and ears of your community.
- All of the sites we visited recognized the value of their maintenance staff, and for good reason. While it may take time for residents to warm up to nurses and staff, maintenance personnel are invited right into the home. They are there in a time of need when something goes wrong, they have daily contact with the residents which helps them identify risk concerns and can report incidents as they occur.
3) If you don't ask, you won't receive.
- Finding funding opportunities is an arduous task of piecing together various resources. A large support can come from private donors, annual pledges, rotary clubs and old fashioned fundraising. People love to make a difference, help them find a way by talking to them about it. One donor at Hebrew Senior Life said "I wanted to give back to an organization that gave my mother so much happiness in the later years of her life."
4) Take risks.
- Jacqueline Carson, CEO of Sanborn Place in Reading, Maryland, has a unique and bold approach. As her residents age, she remains flexible to adapt her community to their evolving needs. If something doesn't work, she finds an alternative that does.
5) Intergenerational programs are essential, not optional.
- These programs aren't just for seniors. Intergenerational programs strengthen communities by enhancing the lives of youth and children, spread positive thinking about ageing, encourage cultural exchange and can even maximize your financial resources through partnerships. They can also help you with point #1.
6) Invite your greater community in.
- While your senior community may not be able to parade around the town, your local leaders can certainly tour your facilities and get to know their supporters – after all, seniors vote! Nancy Eldridge frequently hosts events in her buildings and identifies concerns for her local leaders to address so that they stay involved and stay committed. Her program, SASH (Supports and Services at Home) is an exemplary framework for coordination a the community level.
This year we at IAHSA are particularly well positioned to look forward to spring by connecting with colleagues at IAHSA's Second European Conference – Our Future: Quality Ageing Services – in Vienna, Austria, 22-23 May. While this programme is devoted to sustaining, enhancing and expanding ageing services, and the formal presentations will be top notch, I think that the programme structure and networking opportunities will once again be the features that participants end up valuing most.
IAHSA education programmes emphasize shared learning and our European Conferences are structure with facilitated roundtable discussion groups. We aim to create educational environments that enable participants from diverse backgrounds to share with and learn from one another's real-life, hands-on experiences. Our guiding programme principles include:
- Interactive Participation: exercises that involve the learner and facilitate inter-personal exchanges to stimulate collective observation and thought.
- Problem-Solving: activities that encourage inquiry, reflection and exploration of a common challenge or opportunity.
- Blended Models: approaches that combine a variety of events and learning delivery methods to develop applicable skills over time.
- Relationship-Building: discussions that generate possibilities for fellowship, collaboration and action.
I hope that you will agree with IAHSA that the best way to ensure Quality Aged Services and a better future for our elders is to advance the field by sharing our collective wisdom and experiences. With this in mind, I invite you to join us at IAHSA's Second European Conference – please visit the Web site to register for Vienna!

Episode 9
Many communities around the world see disease and mental illness not as something to be treated, but as something to be feared. As a result, many suffering from curable conditions are stigmatized within their communities. But through education and organizing, some people are challenging these stigmas and addressing previously taboo health issues.

While our friends on the left continue to complain about how conservative economic policies are holding North Carolina back, the state continues to enjoy lower unemployment and unprecedented budget surpluses.
It was announced yesterday that for the first quarter (July – September) of the current (2016-17) Fiscal Year, North Carolina collected $191 million more in tax revenue than expected. That's 2.6 percent above target. This surplus helps pad the General Fund with a total $46.3 million in revenue heading into October.
This latest surplus is driven by more people working (North Carolina's businesses have created more than 440,000 jobs in the last five years), fatter paychecks, and more than $15 billion in tax relief since Republicans took control of the state legislature in 2011.
For what it's worth, this isn't the first time that the left's policy experts have managed to get it all wrong when it comes to tax cuts and budget surpluses. A few of the many examples:
- NC PolicyWatch: Monday Numbers (by Chris Fitzsimon, May 12, 2014): "600 million — amount in dollars of the potential state revenue shortfall in 2014-2015 because of the higher than expected cost of the personal income tax cuts enacted in 2013"
- BTC REPORTS: 2015 Budget Undermines North Carolina's Competitiveness (by Tazra Mitchell, Cedric Johnson & Alexandra Forter Sirota, September 2014): "…the new tax cuts already are costing the state much more than expected and will continue to reduce the revenue that is available…"
- Massive tax cuts and NC's ballooning revenue shortfall (by Chris Fitzsimon, NC Policy Watch podcast 10/27/2014)
- Expert Opinion: N.C. Budget & Tax Center's Tazra Mitchell on our state budget: "Legislative leaders and the governor failed to acknowledge the tax plan's growing cost in the 2015 fiscal year budget, likely because they knew that the huge revenue losses put the state on a financially irresponsible and unsustainable path. By the end of the fiscal year, the revenue shortfall could reach as high as $600 million—for a total cost of more than $1.1 billion"
- Revenue continues to underperform projections, shortfall likely to grow larger (by Tazra Mitchell, October 2014)
- Mid-year revenue shortfall grows, official revenue outlook filled with caution and uncertainty (by Tazra Mitchell, January 21, 2015): "…The fact that lawmakers allowed the next round of costly income tax cuts to go into effect earlier this month—rather than pausing the plan and reassessing the damage—will do little to improve the revenue picture going forward."
- Time for legislators to stop ignoring North Carolina's revenue shortfall (by Chris Fitzsimon, NC Policy Watch podcast 1/26/2015)
- Revenue Shortfall Caused by Tax Plan Hinders Investments in a Strong Economy (North Carolina Justice Center)
The budget surplus announced yesterday follows an earlier budget surplus, announced over the summer, of $425 million received over what was projected for the last fiscal year (ending June 30, 2016) when the State Budget Office revised revenue figures upward above May projections by $95 million. There was also a surplus announced back in March.
