- English As A Second Language ("ESL") Programs
- On Campus ESL Program
- On-Site Customized ESL
- Testing
- Instructors
The Hispanic Institute makes it easy for an employer to arrange for its workers to receive quality instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL). A company can choose to send employees to our regular on-campus program or have the Institute develop a custom program, tailored to the employer's particular industry, with instruction delivered at the company's site.
The Institute operates an extensive adult education program that offers ten (10) levels of English as a Second Language (ESL), as well as Courses in keyboarding, word processing, and other basic business/office skills. This program serves more than 2,000 students a year at its instructional site located in Hackensack.
The Courses cover elementary, intermediate and advanced ESL, focusing on grammar and vocabulary as well as on reading and writing skills. English is taught in a variety of practical contexts. (e.g. employment, housing, shopping, banking, etc.)
Courses are offered year-round, on Saturdays, with both morning and afternoon sessions available. Call our office to obtain a detailed schedule.
The Registration fee is $200.00 per person for a 40-hour (ten-week) course. Discounted rates are available for employers enrolling groups of 15 or more students at one time.
At the end of each course, the Institute will provide the employer with a report detailing the attendance record and final grade of each employee enrolled in the program.
One of the Institute's experienced ESL professionals will meet with the employer's management to analyze the needs of the company, design an appropriate and relevant course of study, and arrange a convenient class schedule.
The Institute also provides instruction to managers and executives who are non-native speakers of English that need to familiarize themselves with business expressions and idioms commonly used in the U.S.
Fees are based on the number of participants, as well as the number of instructional hours desired. Most Courses are conducted in 20 or 40 hour modules conducted over 10-week or 5-week cycles.
At the end of each course, the Institute will provide the employer with a detailed progress report on each student.
Since all Courses are customized to your needs, call us to discuss your particular requirements.
Regardless of whether you choose the on-campus or the on site custom program, all students are administered an English proficiency test prior to beginning their studies so that can be placed in the appropriate level of instruction.
The Hispanic Institute's ESL Courses are taught by a pool of seasoned professional instructors experienced in teaching adult learners. Their experience includes teaching in industry, in colleges and universities, and in various other settings, both in the U.S. and abroad.

Ginabean: A Storybook about Success for Grown-Up Girls
The highly anticipated third installment is here!
Growing up in middle class America with the rest of the Baby Boomers, Gina was taught that being successful was the key to happiness – and that she would be given every opportunity to have a happier, more prosperous life than her parents had. Trusting in those ideals (that no one has ever seemed to question), Gina has worked hard and followed the rules all her life. But when Ginabean compares middle class life today to the previous generation's, it seems to her that all our so-called "progress" hasn't always been positive. IS life getting better??

I do not think we are in a such situation. For the moment, I'll concede the word "most". However, I will assert that there is an important constituency that still needs to be represented. A constituency that wants to give browser vendors every opportunity to move towards increasing standards compliance. I happen to be in that set; there may be others too. So, as an alternative to the original proposal[1], let's make the selection of compatibility vs standard explicit. One set of users will insert meta tags that contain content such as the following: "HTML/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.2)" Another set will chose meta tags that contains values such as: "HTML/5.0 (standard; WD-html5-20080124)" This makes the choice explicit. This makes it difficult for the choice to be an accident. This makes it difficult for someone to state that they were misinterpreted. But most of all, it makes it easy to remedy in the case where the author chose incorrectly: s/standard/compatible/. - Sam Ruby [1] depending on how this discussion goes, these two "alternates" merely differ on what the default value for the meta tag is. I would be OK with specifying that the default is user agent specific.Received on Wednesday, 25 April 2007 14:44:28 UTC

Just when Sanofi-Aventis
In a press release last week, Swiss generic drug manufacturer Schweizerhall said it was close to receiving final marketing approval in Germany for a version of Sanofi's anti-clotting drug Plavix. Because of European Union rules, if Schweizerhall gets marketing approval from the German health-care authorities, it could eventually market the drug in all of the other EU countries as well.
Sanofi booked 2.4 billion euros in Plavix sales last year, making the drug its second-most-important compound by revenue. The top seller, fellow anticoagulant drug Lovenox, is facing imminent generic pressures of its own.
This would be an unexpected blow to Sanofi, because the main European Plavix patents aren't expected to start expiring until 2013. Schweizerhall didn't say how it would avoid breaking Sanofi's patents on Plavix.
Sanofi and its Plavix marketing partner Bristol-Myers Squibb
Every time Sanofi seems to squash generic competition for Plavix or Lovenox, new avenues to attack these drugs always pop up. Sanofi has been mostly successful in escaping generic competition on its lead drugs thus far, but it's still dealing with Plavix patent challenges throughout other parts of the world, including South Korea and Canada. From this Fool's perspective, it seems Schweizerhall may have won the most recent round of Sanofi's ongoing generic wars.

While remaining best known for his tenure in the Eagles, Glenn Frey also enjoyed considerable success as a solo performer, with a career dating back to the glory days of the Detroit rock scene of the mid-1960s. Born in the Motor City on November 6, 1948, Frey formed his first band the Mushrooms in 1966, soon appearing live on the local TV program Robin Seymour's Swinging Time and becoming a staple at the area teen club the Hideout; for the club's Hideout Records label, the group cut their debut single "Such a Lovely Child," a session produced by another aspiring Detroit rocker, Bob Seger.Glenn Frey.
The Mushrooms split soon after, and Frey joined the folk-rock group the Four of Us; he subsequently formed two more Detroit teen bands, the Subterraneans and the Heavy Metal Kids, before relocating to California in the early 1970s.
After co-founding the Eagles a year later, Frey enjoyed a remarkable run as a member of one of the decade's most successful bands, assuming lead vocals on smashes including "Take It Easy," "Tequila Sunrise," "New Kid in Town," "Lyin' Eyes" and "Heartache Tonight." When the Eagles disbanded in the wake of 1979's The Long Run, he began a solo career in 1982 with No Fun Aloud, notching a pair of Top 40 hits with "I Found Somebody" and "The One You Love." 1984's The Allnighter spawned the hit "Smuggler's Blues," which subsequently inspired an episode of the hit TV series Miami Vice on which Frey guest-starred; his acting work later continued in an extended guest role on the acclaimed Wiseguy as well as a starring turn in 1993's South of Sunset, which as a result of its premiere episode's 6.1 Nielsen rating - believed to be the lowest fall debut in major network history - was cancelled after only one episode.
More successful was Frey's continued musical career which reached its peak in 1985 with the Top Ten smash "The Heat Is On," a single released from the soundtrack to the Eddie Murphy comedy Beverly Hills Cop. Frey's contribution to the Miami Vice soundtrack, "You Belong to the City," was also a blockbuster, narrowly missing the top of the charts. However, his next solo LP, Soul Searchin,' did not follow until 1988, notching only one Top 40 entry, "True Love; " Strange Weather, issued four years later, missed the charts altogether. After issuing Glenn Frey Live in 1993, he joined the reunited Eagles on their phenomenally successful "Hell Freezes Over" tour, with a live album of the same name reaching Number One a year later. In the late 1990s, Frey also co-founded his own label, Mission Records, with attorney Peter Lopez.

Outgoing Human Rights Chief Attacks Panel on the Family, Raises Questions About Successor
NEW YORK, August 29 (C-Fam) In one of her last appearances in that role, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights told a gathering of left-wing groups to "watch out" for an upcoming panel in Geneva on protecting the rights of the family.
"It's not clear who's going to win the battle on which experts will be sitting on that panel," said Navi Pillay, who complained, "It's much easier when [I am] empowered to select the panelists, because then we can consult with all of you and we get people with expertise. But I'm saying too much…"
In July, the Human Rights Council adopted a resolution on the "Protection of the Family," despite opposition from the United States, the European Union, and others who viewed the singular form of "family" as excluding same-sex couples.
The resolution calls on the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to prepare a report on the protection of the rights of the family and to convene a panel discussion, which is scheduled for September 15.
Pillay said her office was debating over "whether we should get bogged down in defining what is family."
Pillay has been an outspoken proponent of sexual orientation and gender identity, claiming they are protected human rights categories like race, ethnicity, and religion. Her office launched the "Free and Equal" campaign to promote lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights, which included materials using Mother Teresa's image and quotes out of context.
The end of Pillay's tenure as High Commissioner is sparking anxiety among some activists that her successor, Prince Zeid bin Ra'ad of Jordan, will not share her enthusiasm for the LGBT cause.
"I have to express a certain amount of fear that as you're leaving, what is the future going to be?" asked Bruce Knotts, the director of the Unitarian Universalist UN Office. "In the beginning of your administration, we made a lot of progress very quickly, with very little opposition. That's now changed, and now there's very stiff opposition."
Pillay said she shared Knotts' concern, and that Prince Zeid "said he would continue the work of the office as it was being done." However she was less sure "about the level of focus." She implied Zeid had objections to "creating a new standard" and did not want to "deal with issues that are not internationally accepted human rights norms."
Pillay has inflamed controversy on several issues in addition to LGBT. In 2012, her post was renewed for only half a term after the United States attempted to block her altogether for her criticism of Israel.
Last month, over a hundred U.S. members of Congress wrote a letter denouncing her for alleging war crimes by Israel – "a nation defending its citizens from […] Hamas, a United States and European Union designated foreign terrorist organization."
"The United Nations Human Rights Council simply cannot be taken seriously as a human rights organization," the letter alleges, calling on Pillay and her office to "condemn the use of civilians as human shields."

In grid mode, lists display records in a table view, with several columns. An administrator can activate List v3. List v3 split mode is similar to the list and form view available in UI15. However, List v3 split mode consolidates information from multiple columns into a single row. List v3 split mode does not support multiple form tabs. Note: Users with the personalize_control role can make split mode the default view for a list, by configuring the list controls and setting the Default view mode field to Split. When you open a record in split mode, Display type business rules are evaluated twice, once for each pane. This double evaluation might have an impact on performance. Consider this impact when creating business rules. List pane configuration Figure 1. List pane in split mode In split mode, the title of the list card is either a default value or it is configured in System Mobile UI > Table Titles. Important: Table title records are used in the mobile application as well as in the list pane. You can change the title for any table or add a title record for a different table, however, the change affects the mobile user interface (UI). For example, in split mode the default title for the Departments [cmn_department] table is the department Name. If you create a table title record to display the Description field as the Department list card title, the Departments list appears in the mobile application.

This book contains all the poems recommended in Berquist's best-selling Designing Your Classical Curriculum. The extensive selection includes poems by Robert Louis Stevenson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Robert Browning, William Shakespeare, G.K. Chesterton, William Butler Yeats, Robert Frost, and many others. There are three indices to help locate specific poems. This book also includes dictation selections that are useful tools in the development of the child's writing ability, as well as study questions and answers for each poem.
The major texts of Western culture are a gateway to wisdom that can widen your views on self and society in enduring ways. The extraordinary body of literature given us by writers from antiquity to the present day, as Professor Weinstein notes, "is potent stuff, serving not only as transcription of history but also as a verbal Pandora's box, capable of shedding light on those transactions which remain in the dark for many of us: love, death, fear, desire. We are talking about more than artful language; we are talking about the life of the past and the life of the world."
It is truly a monumental legacy. And now you can examine its most important works - whether drama, poetry, or narrative - in this series of 64 penetrating lectures that reveal astonishing common ground. You'll see how this award-winning teacher uses several different analytical perspectives, including Feminism, Marxism, Freudianism, Deconstruction, Postmodernism, and New Historicism, to give us fresh insight into persisting human themes like rites of passage; the "fit" or "misfit" between self and society; the creation of an identity; and the play, weight, and presence of the past in understanding our present.
You learn how drama makes visible the conflicts and wars of culture in ways other forms cannot manage. How poetry can go to the heart of human existence with a purity and power akin to surgery, bidding us to challenge and change the way we usually do business. And how narrative can tell life stories in ways that enable a possession of that life that is hardly imaginable any other way.

Last week it was our birthday (we have our birthday on the same day!), so we planned to go away for a trip in the van over the weekend. Originally we were going to leave on Friday evening, but one of our gifts was two MASSIVE steaks, which we really wanted to eat, so Friday night became steak (they were so big we had to share one) and wine night and we set off on Saturday morning instead.
The forecast wasn't great and we had been so busy we decided to explore the West coast rather than climb mountains. Our planning consisted of checking Google Earth for nice looking beaches and driving to them! I decided we should aim for Kintyre, but with just two days we weren't going to be able to drive far south so we decided on a route that stayed north with some nice beach options.
We set off around 10.30am on Saturday, and drove around the bottom of Loch Lomond to Arrochar. We have been to Arrochar a good few times to walk or climb in the Arrochar Alps, but I had never been any further than than, and Chris has only been as far as the Rest and Be Thankful pass: a nice view point that looks down Glen Croe. From then on we were in new territory for both of us.
We carried on along the A83 to the tip of Loch Fyne, where we stopped to check out a brewery (Fyne Ales) that we had heard good things about in Achadunan. It seems very nice and we bought a few bottles to try; it definitely looks like the perfect place to stop off on the way down from Beinn Buiddhe one day.
Further on, Inverary looked nice and the castle is very impressive. We stopped for a wander at Port Ann and followed the marked trails down to the abandoned Otter Ferry (we didn't see any otters there).
We then carried on until the turning right approx. 3km beyond Ardrishaig, where we took the B8024 across to the west coast and the edge of Loch Caolisport. We paused for a cup of tea and biscuits just beyond Tighnahoran, but the beach I had been hoping for didn't look as inspiring as I had imagined; it was a very calm place though (all the beaches were disappointing on Saturday, but we later discovered it was simply because the tide was in!).
We carried on going, whilst starting to think of finding somewhere to stay for the night. There is really very little in that area: there were hardly any cars on the roads and just a few scattered houses and farms. Kilberry has a shop (I think I remember one) and a café/restaurant/pub but there's not much anywhere else, except a campsite about 2km before you reach Kilberry.
We drove right down to Loch Stornoway, where we got out to have a look. The water was amazingly still and came right up to the grass, which I had never seen before; we didn't stay long as the midges quickly found us!
We parked for the night in a layby above Port Mor and from the time we arrived to our departure around 11am, we only saw about 4 cars! The beer from the brewery was very good.
In the morning the sun was shining and we could see the sand at Port Mor, so we found a gate and a muddy path down to the little bay. It was perfect, nobody around, nice white sand, clear blue water and just enough sunshine.
Two seals were watching us from some rocks just off the beach along with a collection of shags or cormorants (I'm not very good at distinguishing them).
The sea was too inviting to resist and not as cold as we expected! We spent a good while swimming, wading, finding beautiful shells and introducing Chris to hermit crabs (which are very cool!), before drying off and finishing our birthday cake (thank you Kirstie!).
We then moved on to Ardpatrick: there is hardly anywhere suitable to park but we managed to tuck the van in, and followed a track past Ardpatrick House to another small bay. Seaweed and layers of massive shells lined the top of the beach but beyond that was a large expansive of beautiful sand.
As we climbed over the rocks to see what was around the corner, I spotted something in the water ahead of us. After a couple of seconds I realised it was an otter, and, amazed, we stopped to watch. We quickly realised that there appeared to be another on the rocks: in fact, there were three, a mother and two youngsters, who she was fishing for. It was incredible; I have always wanted to see otters but had never found any before. We were about 25m away and watched them for nearly an hour; the mother fished almost constantly, and made an unexpected amount of noise when she found something suitable for the young ones, which would promptly leap into the water. Otherwise they would just swim around the shore and roll about on the rocks. Eventually we left them and moved on but ended up just above them. The mum eventually noticed us and dashed back, making a very peculiar huffing noise and led them away tucked in either side of her. They weren't that bothered though as we saw them again all curled up together on some rocks just around the corner!
On the way back up the beach, we couldn't resist another swim, the water was too nice. Then we headed home, following the road to Tarbet and then the A83 back to Arrochar again, via another tea break in Inverary. Overall, it was an absolutely wonderful weekend and we felt like we'd been away for much longer than the two days.

In this video, Robert McMillen discusses what to consider when migrating to Exchange 2016 from a previous version. There are many different ways you can and cannot migrate to Exchange 2016 which are covered in this video. Minimum software and active directory requirements are covered for your consideration.
- [Voiceover] Welcome to Deploying Exchange Server 2016. There are many different ways you can and cannot migrate to Exchange 2016, and we're gonna cover those in this video. There is minimum software and active directory requirements and they're all covered in this video for your consideration. Let's first talk about Coexistence. Coexistence between Exchange 2016 and older versions of Exchange. You can have Exchange 2010 SP3 and Exchange 2013 to coexist with 2016 as you do your migration.
You may want to do this, so that way you don't have any down time while you are moving from an older version of Exchange to a newer version. So this way you can have your Exchange 2016 installed and running, and you can start migrating your users as it is convenient. Now let's discuss domain requirements. The active directory domain is what we're referring to here, and it must be at least 2008 R2 or newer. This is not the same as the server where Exchange is installed, this is active directory.
Active directory has to be installed on a server that's 2008 R2 or 2012 or 2012 R2 or newer. The server requirements are a little different. The server is what Exchange server 2016 is actually installed on, and that server must be 2012 R2 or newer. Now when Exchange 2016 first came out, they did allow you to have 2012, the first version, or R1. However, now that changes have been made to Exchange 2016, Microsoft does want you to have 2012 R2 or newer.
Now that we've discussed the type of active directory domain and the server requirements, let's talk about what goes on the server itself. We're gonna want to install on the Features section the .NET Framework 4.5.2 or later. We're also gonna want to install Windows Management Framework 4.0 or later, and Unified Communications needs to be 4.0 or newer as well. These are all features and applications that you'll want to install prior to installing Exchange server 2016.
Another requirement would be Office Web Apps Server. Web Apps Server is only if you want to be able to view attachments in Outlook Web Access, which is basically just through a web browser rather than a client such as Outlook. So for example, if we have Outlook Web Access that your users are accessing Exchange and accessing their email, and there's an attachment and they don't have the application running on their particular PC to be able to view that attachment, well, you're going to need the Office Web Apps Server to be able to view that attachment without having to install the application.
If the user already has the application installed, such as Microsoft Word, and it's a Word attachment, then they won't need to use the Web Apps Server. So this is an option for an administrator if they want to have attachments to be able to be opened by the users without having to have the applications installed on the local PC. This is what you would need to do, and this Office Web Apps Server needs to be installed on a separate server than your Exchange server 2016 implementation.
Now we can talk about clients. Clients are applications such as Outlook where you can attach the Exchange server to your Outlook client simply by opening the client, putting in your credentials, and then you can see your email, your calendar, your contacts, all the things that Exchange offers. So you want to have a client that is at least Outlook 2010 service pack two or newer. You can also go 2013 with service pack one, so if you do do 2013, you have to have at least service pack one.
And of course, 2016 doesn't require any particular service pack. If you're using a Macintosh then you want to have 2011 or newer, and that is the version of Office or Outlook. Sometimes you can just purchase Outlook by itself, other times you can purchase a version of Office that includes Outlook in the package. Another consideration is that once you install Exchange 2016 it makes certain changes to Active Directory and the organization at large, so you can no longer add an older version of Exchange.
So what that basically means is, if you already have Exchange 2010, Exchange 2013, and then you install Exchange 2016 and you have them in coexistence mode, you cannot add another 2010 or 2013 Exchange server. Just something to keep in mind. There's also a couple of different types of migrations, and this is more of a mindset than actual modes themselves. You have cutover or you have coexistence, or mixed mode.
So cutover basically means I'm only going to be using this older version of Exchange while I cut over to the newer version of Exchange, whereas mixed or coexistence basically means you're going to keep those older versions around for an extended period of time, and then you're going to eventually go to cutover mode and retire those older servers. By keeping all of these different migration considerations in mind, you will have a much smoother transition to Exchange server 2016.
Join Robert McMillen as he takes you through the process, from preparation, and configuration, to deployment. Along the way, he informs you of new features, so you'll know how the 2016 version compares to 2013 or 2010. This course is designed to provide new or experienced networking professionals the essential steps needed for a successful implementation of Microsoft Exchange Server 2016.

I know, it's Monday and I always post on Mondays. It says so right down there on the right-hand side. Except today I have a mean case of the Don't Wannas. I re-injured my lower back yesterday afternoon and all I really want to do is curl up on the couch with a blankie and a book and a cup of coffee or chai and do nothing. But since Thanksgiving is in TEN FREAKING DAYS that isn't happening.
So, instead of cuddling up in my jammies, under a blankie and being a big boober-head, I'm pretending to be my normal Monday person. Or at least that is what I was doing before my Biggest's school called.
Phone calls from the school typically don't make this mom get all happy-happy and this phone call was of that same kind. Except worse.
"Hello, this is the attendance line of Blah Blah Middle School, calling to let you know that your child did not attend first period. Yada Yada Yada."
And my heart did that little thing where it both leaps into your throat and stops beating all at the same time, with only the mass flooding of adrenaline getting it beating again.
How many times have you seen notices for missing kids? The photos on the newspaper inserts, the milk cartons, the nightly news, the amber alerts on the highway reader boards – every one of those kids has someone who cares about them. Maybe not enough but everyone of them is being missed for every second he or she is missing.
And for about ten minutes, I had no idea where my kid was. For ten minutes, he appeared to be missing.
Ten minutes.
Ten minutes to think about how small he looked under his backpack when I dropped him off at the corner by his bus stop. Ten minutes to think about all the times I have yelled at him. Ten minutes to think about the first time his fingers gripped mine. Ten minutes to think about how he tried to explain yet another scientific concept to me over the weekend and I was horribly confused by his knowledge. Ten minutes to think about how much my life has changed since he came into it and how much I pray I never have to live without him.
Ten minutes.
It was a really, really long time those ten minutes. And yes, I kept telling myself everything was fine. But I also kept hearing that little voice wondering "but what if it isn't." The mama bear in me had her car keys in hand and ready to go search. The more level-headed version of myself remembered that my youngest son needed to be picked up from his bus stop first.
This morning the pain in my back faded as my heart ached to hold my first baby, the baby who made me a mom. This morning reminded me of how much of parenting is luck and love and living moment by moment. This morning was filled with feelings. And now I am feeling especially thankful that in a few more hours he will be home. I can't wait to hold him and am so very thankful that I will be able to.
*I don't know the specifics yet, but it appears the school bus was late picking up kids so they were late arriving at the school. I have a feeling there's an interesting story behind it, but one I'll never fully know. At least I know the most important bits. He's fine.

This weekend, fans will have a chance to watch Deep Purple live during two shows in South Florida. Deep Purple is, of course, known in music history as one of the pioneers of heavy metal. The English group, having gone through multiple lineups, is in the Mark VIII stage of the band, which includes a lineup of lead singer Ian Gillan, drummer Ian Paice, bassist Roger Glover, guitarist Steve Morse, and keyboardist Don Airey. This current lineup consists of most of the Mark II lineup of Deep Purple, with the exception of co-founding member and organist John Lord, who passed away in 2012, and original member and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. Perhaps the most commercially successful stage of the band, one cannot mention the Mark II lineup without naming several of the classic tracks that came about from this talented quintet. For instance, almost anyone who has ever picked up a guitar is familiar with Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water," as it is the first song you usually learn to play. I can attest to this with my personal experience. Off of the 1972 album titled Machine Head, the track is most notably known for its simple, yet impactful four-note guitar riff.
The first show is taking place Saturday, August 30, at Hard Rock Live Orlando. Doors open at 7p.m.
Tickets for the Orlando show are priced as follows on the Hard Rock Live Orlando website:

The last two were recorded with singer Myles Kennedy, best known for his work with Alter Bridge, and The Conspirators, comprised of drummer Brent Fritz and bassist Todd Kerns. Previous performances by the group has shown the audience can expect fan-favorites from Slash's days in Guns N' Roses and from the supergroup Velvet Revolver in addition to Slash's new material with the band.
Doors open at 7p.m. Tickets for entrance are priced at $54 on the Seminole Hard Rock Casino website.

text: I'm ready for a New Year to begin. I like to set intentions for my personal and business life. They give me something to strive towards and as a goal setter, I really need the direction at times. The past year, hand-in-hand with my word Trust. has given me great rewards and unexpected results. I took the year to search deep inside to what I really love to do and to where I see myself going. Two things stuck out instantly. I love to paint and I love to teach. Now these are both things I have been doing for the past 22 years so they really didn't come as a surprise. But what did surprise me was that I actually missed just putting paint and brush to wood. Seems simple right. However, I have made my living for the past 12+ years doing colored pencils. Art, yes, just with a different medium and different results. Oh, I like colored pencil and the fact that it, as a very controlled medium, showed me the way to realism and exactness that my architectural rendering muse inside loves very much. But after a while I just wasn't satisfied with its limitations and not-so-quick finish. So the return of a paintbrush in my hand is something I am almost giddy about. The ideas swirling in my head are amazing, challenging and will take me out of my comfort zone once again. I am ready to see the endless possibilities of what the New Year will offer me. Are you ready?

West Side Montessori is at the leading edge of disaster readiness, making history as the first school in the state to have a safe room that can withstand an F5 tornado. To be proactive and provide the safest possible school environment for students, families and nearby neighbors, the school worked closely with the Lucas County Emergency Management agency on the design of the tornado safe community room, which can shelter 420 people for two hours. "It's satisfying to create a safe space to give parents, students and teachers peace of mind, with the hope that it is never needed," said Keith Russeau, Architect, and Principal of The Collaborative, the architects for this project, which also included the completion of a gym, enhanced art and music studios and additional classroom space.

The Welch Allyn MacroView otoscope features a patented optical system that provides the practitioner with an increased field of view and magnification to get a large, clear image of the tympanic membrane. Welch Allyn's traditional diagnostic otoscopes feature a wide-angle magnified viewing lens.
Please Choose from the drop down Above.
Fiber optics and halogen light produce optimum illumination The Welch Allyn otoscope uses both fiber optic technology and Halogen HPX™ illumination. Fiberoptic light transmission provides a 360º ring of light without visual obstruction or specular reflection. This distal light results in glare-free viewing and an easier examination.
Focusing capability The Welch Allyn MacroView otoscope has the capability to zoom in or out on the area in view, resulting in a clearer image to aid in diagnosis. A focusing wheel, conveniently located on each side of the otoscope and the back eyepiece, is available to the practitioner for adjusting the focal length. The adjustable focal length can compensate for both the practitioner's vision and the length of the patient's ear canal, thus creating the clearest view of the tympanic membrane possible.
Pneumatic otoscopy capability When examining tympanic membrane mobility, the ability to perform pneumatic otoscopy is extremely valuable. The Welch Allyn otoscope incorporates a closed system and an airtight seal.
Specula attachment and removal The Welch Allyn MacroView otoscope features a unique specula attachment and removal design, the TipGrip, which provides the practitioner with a secure attachment between the specula and the otoscope during the exam.
After the examination is complete, the tip can be released from the otoscope by turning the TipGrip counterclockwise or by simply twisting off the tip with one hand, as is the technique with traditional otoscope models.

Tram Facts not Fiction
Video--see for yourself it isn't complicated science it's just blindingly obvious!
Edinburgh Council continue to deny the evidence of their own eyes - by saying traffic does not got down the centre of the street.
Why? Because the distance from the kerb matters a lot .
Why? This extract from an email to senior colleagues by the head of the Council's Scientific Services Department (released under FoI) makes clear.
".......The net effect of using the national bias factor and the larger diffusion factor is that the calculated levels of N02 at the building facade will be greater than the value which CEC would calculate, and the combined effect is more likely to tip the value over the air quality maximum."
(the further traffic really runs from the kerb, and the parked cars, the larger the difffusion factor--------By pretending the traffic is closer than it is, the diffusion factor is reduced and the air pollution recorded in the final 'corrected' figures then comes out as a lower number)

The UN's Aarhus Convention Compliance Commission (ACCC) isn't really there to 'do detail' and second guess experts about their schemes and the plans, in order to make a judgement on whether this or that tram system is better or worse.
So when they mention a detail it is significant.
In their recent judgement they highlighted the offer made by Edinburgh to residents that Hope Street, which connects Queensferry Street and Charlotte Square, could work as an alternative route for traffic releiving pressure on the residential streets from the inc reases in traffic created by the demands of the

The source document on The Findings and Recommendations of the Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee in respect of the communication brought by two Edinburgh Residents
ON the one hand ..... it's all brilliant but only if it doesn't snow!
Does this mean someone inside the council thinks that the positive spin is rotating so quickly it is in danger of overbalancing and smashing into the ground? So they immediately 'rowed back smartly' from the sunshiney glow of the first press release with the wintery warning of the second?
Who knows what goes on inside Edinburgh's council?
If this was about veniality, corruption, bribery or anything like that then the lid may well have blown on what is actually going on.
But Edinburgh isn't Moscow, Mexico, Lagos or
The debate over London's airport capacity received an important additional contribution recently in a study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T) who found that expanding Heathrow could result in 3 times as many deaths from the reulting pollution in 2030 than building an airport on the other side of the city in the Thames Estaury.
The report was picked up by many media outlets and given wide publicity, such is the interest in whether or where extra airport and runway capacity should be built in the South East.
A spokesperson for the scientific team even joked that the

The case taken to the United Nation's Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee in Geneva by two Edinburgh residents over the lack of true openess and consultation in the dealings of Edinmburgh Council, particularly over the Tram Project planning and effects, is nearing a final conclusion.
The Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee have a provisonal report on their website, admirably they practise what they preach in adopting the position of putting all information into the public domain, unlike our Council.
So although it is a provisional finding, and has been sent to both parties it is on
This 2 minute video report (click here to see it) speaks for itself... Edinburgh Council fought for years to say that the traffic in this street flows down the kerbside.
It doesn't though!
They have continued for another two years to pretend it flows 'down the edge of the parked cars'.
As the video shows (click here) the traffic flows where Residents (who after all live there) have said it flows, for over 4 years, and that is down the centre of the street, another vehicle width out from the parked cars, and two vehicles from the kerbside.

An innovative approach
Bridging science and tradition
An innovative approach to yoga, based in 30 years of research and didactic practice Gert van Leeuwen, School of Critical Alignment Amsterdam, The Netherlands
A good life starts in the spine
The primary goal of Critical Alignment Yoga (CAY) is to mobilize and align the spinal column, restoring crucial mobility, balance and spaciousness to the rest of the body while freeing emotioins and introducing a lighter, more meditative consciousness into daily life.
Over time, we all become increasingly crooked, as residual tensions slowly push and pull heads, necks and backs out of alignment. We take these tensions with us to work, and they are there when we socialize, sleep, or exercise. Our back and neck accompany us everywhere and their unconscious patterns of holding ensure that we continuously operate in a state of tension, regardless of what we may be doing. Even when we are doing yoga.
Through Critical Alignment Yoga, students discover how stiffness and a lack of stability in the back influence body and behavior, in yoga and daily life. The precision with which CAY isolates and identifies the physical source of problems, in turn brings students face to face with the ambitions and negative emotional patterns underlying their pain and tension.
In his book, Yoga: Critical Alignment (Shambhala Publications, 2013) Gert van Leeuwen explains how the consequences of structural stress form a serious threa to our health.
- On a physical level, stress causes a range of problems related to an increasingly rigid spinal column. Not only back problems, but also other seemingly unrelated parts of the body can end up with symptoms whose origin lies in the spine.
- On an energetic level, important emotional centers (heart & abdomen) can become so blocked as to restrict our ability to experience relaxation or a sense of inner spaciousness. With the gradual loss of a warm and positive connection to the body, emotional lives become increasingly dominated by anxiety, stress and depression.
Van Leeuwen has developed an innovative model of teaching, a new form of yoga therapy, and a range of technical tools to help restore strength and mobility to the spinal column, with far-reaching consequences.
The CAY didactic model and therapeutic approach are comprehensive and thorough methods for achieving results in the complex mind-body problem of stress and its multiple layers of impact, starting with loss of mobility and alignment in the spine. Van Leeuwen's method features a structured, sequential approach to releasing stress and tension from the body's more superficially located movement muscles while building strength and increasing mobility in the deeper postural muscles. Lessons are structured around a theme – for example a particular asana – and then carefully sequenced using the movement 'chains' or sequences that Van Leeuwen developed to bring the body steadily deeper into the posture.
This process is further enabled by the innovative range of tools that Van Leeuwen has created that help to penetrate complex body structures where deep residual tensions are situated. These include a rubber 'strip', a wooden arch, a headstand frame, a rectangular rubber 'block' and a felt mat. Around the world, Van Leeuwen's tools are received with surprised enthusiasm by students for whom they make an essential and welcome point: it is truly possible to restore movement and space, even to the hard to reach spots!
The result? Profound and sustained release in patterns of tension along with an unparalleled development of core strength.
Finally, the meditative approach of CAY aims to restore a positive connection between mind and body and to bring this into daily life. This is achieved by connecting a meditative consciousness and relaxation to an active asana practice. Van Leeuwen believes that willpower is associated with tense behavior and that movement initiated by willpower actually tenses the very mucsles that we want to learn to relax. By relaxing these muscles and instead activating the deeper postural muscles, students are able to release tension and build strength at the same time, literally learning to relax through movement, and bringing a meditative quality to asana practice.
1. Based on tradition and science
- CAY has been developed from an intensive study of both traditions and the science of movement
- In his more than 400-page book, Van Leeuwen provides this background along with a comprehensive, illustrated description of the method
2. New insights into the body
- The development of 11 movement 'chains' or sequences in the body from which any asana can be constructed
- The notion that the upper back should be straight
- The re-connection of movement and relaxation through the distinction and differential use of postural and movement muscles
3. New insights into teaching
- A new and comprehensive 'problem-oriented' didactic model
- Effective teaching methods for creating a strong link between active yoga and meditation, and for integrating practice with daily life
- The initiation of movement from a state of relaxation instead of using willpower
- A systematic and structured approach to the content of each lesson, in which each element forms a coherent part of a larger plan
4. New tools
- The use of unique and ingenious tools that enable mobilization of inaccessible parts of the body
5. New therapy
- CAY therapy is a logical extension of the yoga method, requiring an additional year of teacher certification. Research on the effectiveness of the therapy is underway
'I was introduced to Critical Alignment after years of classes in Hatha, Ashtanga, and several other styles. At first I had to get used to the completely different style of lessons. It was so 'chilled out', none of the huffing and puffing I was used to, but I felt great at the end! Three years later, I can say that CAY is the deepest and most effective yoga form I have ever experienced. It is a precise and intensely, painstingly thorough method. Building and reworking physical patterns from the ground up, regular practice has brought about permanent and fundamental changes in my body, replacing chronic pain, stress and tension with spaciousness and core strength. The classes are calm and relaxed, yet I have somehow managed to develop the strongest core I've ever had in my life. Sometimes we take an entire class just to build up one asana, but that asana is likeI've never felt it before, suddenly it makes complete sense, everything is in place and feels so right, yoga has never gone this deep.'
Amsterdam, Katie-Lee Weille

I had a very pressing need to find my dream bed and mattress – it wasn't more of a 'want' than a 'need'. You see, about ten years ago I got a bulging disc in my back that meant at one point I could barely walk.
Small tasks became almost impossible and I ended up going for physiotherapy to manipulate the disc back into place. As a bit of a wake up call, I learned then and then that it was important for me to strengthen my core.
Fast forward a few years – and the slipped disc started to make a comeback. But this time, no matter what exercises I did, the back pain just wasn't going away and I couldn't work out why.
Then in May I went on a week's *bleisure trip to Miami (*mixing business and pleasure!) and my back pain disappeared almost immediately.
I put this down to the fact that I was moving more and getting out and about, but one day during my holiday I called home and spoke to VIP.
He told me that he had slept on my side of the bed while I was away and he had woken up with terrible back pain.
And as he was saying it, the penny suddenly dropped; my mattress was more than 12 years old and it had to be its lack of support that was contributing to my deteriorating health. Something needed to be done – and fast.
The mattress
I've always got in the habit of doing tons of research when I know I'm buying a high-end product. I need to know that the money I'm spending is being spent well and that any investment I make is a wise one.
That doesn't mean that I scrimp when it comes to products – especially ones concerning my health, but I am interested in finding products that offer value for money.
So when it came to researching mattresses I spent a good week whittling it down to my final 3 and then doing some extensive research to decide on what I'd be buying.
There were many factors that I needed to take into account when deciding on the mattress including support, temperature, movement to name a few.
But the final choice for me came down to two factors – the best mattress that would support my preferred position of sleep (on my tummy!) and of course, the reviews. And trust me, I spent HOURS reading them.
But it paid off. In the end I decided that the best mattress to buy was Leesa.
On the company's website it describes the Leesa mattress as…
…Redesigned from the inside out to give you the comfort, support, and universal feel everybody needs to sleep better. Our unique combination of performance foam layers deliver cooling bounce, contouring pressure relief and core support for amazing sleep.…
The Leesa mattress is expertly-crafted to offer extraordinary sleep, night after night, at an outstanding value. The 5cm Avena foam top layer provides airflow for a roller night's sleep and enough bounce for freedom of movement.
The 5cm memory foam delivers the body contouring and pressure relief you've come to expect from memory foam. The 15cm base foam adds strength, durability and structure to support sleepers of all sizes, with our feeling too firm."
The company had so many great reviews to back up what it was claiming – and I was sold!
I ended up going for a Super King size! When I've stayed in hotel rooms that have had a Super King size bed, I've loved the fact that I can lie sideways and my feet and head don't reach the ends.
And let me tell you my friends, this is one of the few benefits of being a vertically challenged 5'1".
I bought my Leesa mattress online – and in fact, it was actually cheaper to buy it direct from Leesa's website rather than a third party like eBay or Amazon (yes, I did LOADS of research on this too!)
My Super King size Leesa mattress cost £769 and at the time, Leesa was offering £120 off any bed or mattress plus free delivery, bringing the price down to £649 in total.
But you know what, I would have happily paid £1,000 for the mattress. Since acquiring it I've slept wonderfully – it feels really plush with just the right level of support, and I haven't had a bad back since. I really couldn't have made a better choice.
My only regret was not changing my mattress years ago.
The dream bed!
So now that I had my dream mattress, I need a dream bed to go with it.
Again, having stayed in quite a lot of hotels in the past (given that I was a travel editor of a national magazine), I knew exactly what I wanted.
- It had to be a Chesterfield design as they look so plush and beautiful.
- I wanted a wingback bed (where the edges of the bedhead curve round) as I just think they look amazing and unique.
- I also wanted the bed to be an ottoman bed – as you can never have enough storage!
- It had to be medium or dark grey – eventually I want a French-style bedroom and the dark grey would go with romantic pale hues that I wanted for things like bed accessories and wallpaper etc…
I know I was asking a lot and that I had my work cut out. In truth, I spent the best part of three months trying to find the exact bed I was looking for.
I'd find loads of beds that were a Chesterfield style and that offered the wingback design, but they weren't available as an ottoman style. Or I'd find something that had the first three requirements, but it wouldn't be available in any other colour than 'oyster'.
Eventually, I came across my dream bed – and I knew it was the one because as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it. I literally couldn't stop looking at it. It had all four of my requirements too.
And would you believe me if I told you it came from eBay? Of all places, I wasn't expecting to find my dream bed (with such specific requirments) from eBay!
The bed was bought from a buyer called Chic-Furniture1 and cost £749.99. It sounds a lot, but it was worth every single penny.
And you know what? It's STILL the best bed I've ever seen (or slept in!) to date. I literally could spend all day in my bed, stroking the headboard and feeling like a queen of the manor!
The bed accessories
So you can't have a gorgeous bed without some plush bed accessories – and Beautfy (via Domu Brands) came to my rescue when they announced they had launched a new range of home furnishings including throws, bedspreads and cushions galore.
I chose this gorgeous (faux fur) Blush Pink Mongolian Throw to add a layer of glamour and luxury to my bed – and the great news is that it's a very affordable £24.99.
I also chose a couple of pink velvet cushions (at £14.99 each), which match the throw's subtle blush pink tones.
And how good does the pale dusty pink look against the dark grey bedhead?
As you may know, I'm also a massive fan of TKMaxx – they do some absolutely brilliant homeware in there – designer goods for a fraction of the price you'd normally pay for them. It's my kind of shop as it really does offer fantastic value for money.
I picked up this Hotel Collection 300 thread count King Duvet Set from TKMaxx for less than £10 (it was originally £26).
The reason I got the King size rather than the Super King was because my mum had bought me a really expensive goose down king sized duvet not long ago which I love, so I kept the duvet as it still fits the Super King bed.
I also then had to buy a fitted sheet – and this 600-thread Charles Street Super King sheet was just the thing. The RRP was over £40, TK Maxx was offering it for £34.99 and then had reduced it further to £27, so I really did pick up a bargain.
One tip for when you do buy sheets – go for the highest thread count that you can afford. Your sheets will last for years and the higher the thread count, the more it feels silky and smooth – and luxurious to sleep on!
So that wraps up my post on my dream bed and mattress – the only thing left to do is to get my dream bedroom.
For that I'll need new wardrobes, a lick of paint, some nice Damask wallpaper and maybe even a chaise longue. Well, you can't go for the French look without a acquiring a chaise longue can you?! Here's hoping 2019 sees my bedroom transformed – you'll be the first to hear about it when it is!
What's your favourite bedroom style? And what do you have your eye on updating in 2019?

I haven't shot a roll of film in probably 10 years.
I learned my love of photography on a Pentax K1000, 26 years ago and I've had an itching to get out that old camera and go back to those moments in time when shooting a roll of film was about nothing--and everything. It was all I ever wanted to do.
So recently, I went and bought a roll of B&W film. I felt like a little kid. It was so exciting talking to the store owner about developing and printing my photos myself again, the old way. I was back in my element and it felt so comfortable. That little box of film made me so happy.
The next weekend, with my kids and a friend in tow, I headed off to spend time in a cabin. A perfect place for me and my roll of film. The kids thought my old Pentax was a cool little camera and they were surprisingly understanding when I couldn't take 10 pictures of the same exact thing without wasting my roll of film. I had to rely on my skills to get it right the first time. Out of habit, I kept wanting to view the back of the camera but there was no image to look at. I would have to wait until the film was developed.
After taking a couple of pictures, remembering the feel of the camera, all those little dials with their numbers, my instincts kicked in and all the fun of shooting came flooding back to me. I discovered something I had lost so long ago. These pictures didn't have to be perfect, the moment was already perfect. I just had to capture how that moment felt. I didn't need to look at every picture the instant I took it. The freedom to just shoot was something I didn't realize I needed so badly, a renewed excitement I wanted to bring to my work to trust my instincts.
I will be shooting a lot more film. I already have a roll of color loaded in the camera.
TWERKING!, natural, water, birthing center, cookies, punk rock, and breathtaking mama. Those are just some of the words to describe my latest birth photo session. The doula Rosemary Beyer from Sweet Birth Maternity Services, had that room crazy and rocking. The wonderful energy was enough to make mama start dancing even while experiencing contractions. I usually love black & white images, but with the colorful personalities in this room, and with mom's blue hair, full color images was the only way to go.
Photographing a birth inside a birthing center was wonderful. Seeing a baby being born is just the most incredible experience but watching a mom listening to her body, and being able to give birth in a loving environment while being surrounded by nothing but support and the perfect birth plan of mama's choice is beyond amazing..
I met Melissa and Michael, the proud parents to be, on a Monday for the first time and by Wednesday, Ely was born. I am so happy that it worked out the way it did because I might have missed out on meeting some incredible people.
Congratulations to Michael, Melissa and big brother Emery! And make sure you leave some love at the bottom for Michael and Melissa.
I absolutly love documenting births. If you are going to be having a baby and would like to have all the details captured please contact me firstname.lastname@example.com

Victoria's Beautiful Life
My recent storytelling session was with Victoria and her boys. Victoria's family is so amazing and full of energy. We added cousins to the mix and went to the pool, where Victoria showed off a penguin dive. Documenting a day in Victoria's life was a wonderful experience. I enjoyed spending time with her and her family
She is such a beautiful and attentive mother. I adore how open and honest she is with her sons when they ask questions. She must be doing something amazingly right since she is still getting snuggles from her oldest.
When I first consulted with Victoria about her storytelling session she was worried that she wouldn't have anything for me to document and that her day was boring. I assured her that everyone has a story to tell, and the days are full of beautiful details we just need to slow down and look for them.
EVERYONE has a story every day to tell. I would love to help you tell yours.
you can contact me at jennifer@jenniejamesphotography
Follow me on instagram to see more of my work..
What I love most about photography is documenting. Taking everyday moments and freezing them. Not just what is happening but the emotions. Being able to bring alive a moment that has already passed. I love hearing a client tell me that they just love their photos. And seeing posts about how much emotion that the photos have evoked. Then I know that I have done my job well.
Being at Anna's house to her was just another day but with a photographer tagging along. But for me it was a story unfolding it was exciting. Watching her go about her daily tasks to me is just beautiful. Taking care of her family mothering two little people to mold them into adults. Anna and the boys were perfect subjects because they pretty much just ignored me for the time that I was there. The boys had things they had to do so they could have tablet time and for them it was very important business. And I love that one of their chores was mandatory play time. I always walk away from my sessions with a little piece of my clients in my heart. This family was no exception. The soul of this family is filled with kindness and love.
To see all of the images in this family's documentary session follow the link
I would love to tell your family's story whatever it may be. I would even be willing to go on vacation with you *wink* wink*. email@example.com
Finally, some well deserved tablet time.

New York........
New York the city that brought out so many emotions in me. I was terrified and excited to be walking among all of the people. I found a braveness I never had before and asked a few people if I could take their photo. I saw things that made me so sad that by the end of the trip I had to try so hard not to look which stung in a different way. Just writing this brings the rush of feelings back and makes me cry.
We had so many laughs and fun that I will never forget. Middle eastern spider man will be forever ingrained into my mind. Sydney using her feet to do weird things and putting on a comedy show for us. (some day I will start booking her for gigs :-) ) Staying up till the wee hours in the morning and trying to find our way on the subway.
What I will remember the most will be the amazing time with my daughter, mom and sister. The laughter was the most wonderful part of this trip. We all laughed so much. And seeing my mom so happy was worth the trip. ( Thanks mom for the opportunity to go on this trip)
Picking photos to share was so hard so let's just say that this is part 1.
I must begin with the preface that weddings are not something that I normally do but every once in a while a very special couple will come along. When David and Anastasia asked me to document their wedding and told me I could do whatever I wanted (yes they are this cool!!!) I knew that I had to document this very special day for them.
They are clients that have become friends. I have done their son's newborn photos and his one year birthday. Anastasia even let me come and hang out at her house for hours and document their morning and afternoon routine.
Their wedding was beautiful and the celebration was fun. The excitement for these two was just unreal. They were surrounded by such a loving group of family and friends. I had such a hard time picking photos to show there were so many that I loved. I have added just a few.
I am truly blessed to have a job where I get a glimpse into peoples true lives. I am invited among friends and family for the most private moments of life.
Don't let your daily moments go by with out documenting them. Life happens in the blink of a eye and soon you will be saying "Remember when....." Contact me for a life session.

Volume 14, Issue 20
September 18, 2015
In another move to make it easier for unions to organize employees, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued a Guidance Memorandum on September 1, 2015 announcing that, effective immediately, the NLRB will accept electronic signatures to support a union's election petition.
When a union seeks to represent a group of employees, it must file with the NLRB a petition for a representation election. The petition must prove that at least 30% of the employees in the bargaining unit at issue support the union. To satisfy this "showing of interest" requirement, a union will usually submit authorization cards or a list of signatures designating the union as the signers' agent for collective-bargaining purposes.
Requiring this showing of interest allows the NLRB to determine whether a representation election is warranted. The employer can challenge the validity of the showing of interest and seek dismissal of the petition for election if there is objective evidence to demonstrate that the signatures are not authentic or are otherwise fraudulent.
As a part of its efforts to amend the NLRB's election rules, the NLRB has determined that electronic signatures will now be accepted for a showing of interest if they include specific information (e.g., the signer's name, email address or contact information, telephone number, the language the signer has agreed to, date, and name of employer) and are accompanied by declarations identifying what electronic signature technology was used and explaining how its controls ensure: (1) that the electronic signature is that of the signatory employee; (2) that the employee herself signed the document; and (3) that the electronically transmitted information regarding what and when the employee signed is the same information seen and signed by the employee.
While the NLRB states it is simply trying to be cost-effective and fulfill Congress' request "that Federal agencies, including the Board, accept and use electronic forms and signatures, when practicable," the reality is that this change will continue to accelerate the speed of union elections. It continues to be important for employers to educate their employees about the risks of unionization before it notices organizing activity.

The following article is from Fight Back! News:
Los Angeles, CA – The August 29th Chicano Moratorium Organizing Committee held a press conference here Aug. 25 to announce a protest march and rally set for Aug. 28 in East Los Angeles. The march commemorates 40 years since the Chicano Moratorium.
The committee denounced the ongoing war in Afghanistan-Iraq and the U.S. military recruiting targeting Latino youth, especially immigrants. Veteran Chicano activist Carlos Montes urged participation in the event, which is demanding full equality and self-determination for the Chicano nation.
Yvonne De Los Santos stated, "Today Chicano youth continue to be recruited by false promises of legalization and education only to be sent to fight U.S. wars for domination for profit. We denounce the current U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and call for all troops to be withdrawn. We learned from the Vietnam War that wars only serve to kill and maim our youth and make profits for the war industry like Halliburton and others."
The committees also demanded that District Attorney Steve Cooley open an investigation into the killing of Ruben Salazar by the LA County sheriffs at the original Chicano Moratorium on August 29, 1970.
On August 29, 1970 over 30,000 Chicanos marched to protest the Vietnam War, the high casualty rate of Mexican-Americans in the Vietnam War and racism at home. The Los Angeles Police Department and LA sheriffs attacked the peaceful rally, beating and arresting dozens and killing Ruben Salazar, a Los Angeles Times writer and news director for KMEX.
Delegations will be converging on East Los Angeles from as far away as San Francisco and El Paso, Texas.

Kristina Ellis
Author of "Confessions of a Scholarship Winner" and "How to Graduate Debt Free"
Kristina Ellis Bio
When Kristina was 7, her father tragically died after a 4-year battle with brain cancer. Her family then slipped below poverty level and struggled to figure out their new life. Battling depression, eating disorders, and self-harm, she made the decision to take her own life--only to be stopped by a midnight phone call that set her on a path toward hope.
Haunted by the decision she had almost made the night before, Kristina decided to abandon her patterns of self-abuse, embrace gratitude, and start fighting for the life she wanted. She got involved in volunteer work, sports, and competitions. And even though her family still struggled financially, Kristina found things she could excel at and ways to keep herself positive.
Her first day of her freshman year of high school, Kristina's mother sat her down and told her, "You have four years to figure out what you're going to do with your life because you're on your own financially after graduation. I'm telling you this because I love you, and I believe in you. You are not meant to live in poverty, and I know that if you work hard, you can go to a great college and start fresh. The choices you make now will impact you for the rest of your life."
Kristina took that challenge and ran with it, devising a plan to find college and scholarship success despite average grades and limited athletic ability. She immersed herself in research, working to figure out what made a person successful in the scholarship application process and how she could personally stand out.
Her strategy allowed her to win the title of Miss Indiana Teen USA, travel to Haiti on missions work, win two Gold Medals in the Junior Olympics for gymnastics, coach a 45-member gymnastics team at age 16, and start a fundraiser that sent shoes to Tanzania and Haiti.
Kristina's efforts really paid off when she was awarded over $500,000 in scholarships for college and was able to attend her dream school, Vanderbilt University, for free! Now Kristina is on a mission to help students find similar or even greater success!
This scholarship mentor encourages students to believe in themselves and their potential. Her message inspires students to understand that, even if the odds are stacked against them, they can overcome their circumstances and achieve their dreams!

KEEPING THE FUN IN SPORTS-having fun is one of our core goals
'Giving a child the chance to play is only half of the battle – children cannot play and learn effectively if they do not have fun'.
2016 Sterkinekor-Egolisquash Christmas Party
120 players, coaches and sports coordinators from the Johannesburg Inner-city, Soweto and Alex centers were treated to an early Christmas at the Sterkinekor Office Park. The players had a great opportunity to play a round-robin squash tournament, have fun in the outdoor activities and watch a movie at the cinema.
For most of the players, the highlight of the day was watching a movie in a cinema for the very first time in their lives!!!! Thanks to Sterkinekor for providing such an experience that our players given their backgrounds would not have otherwise.The players were provided with breakfast, lunch and party goody bags at Sterkinekor. This event also marked the celebration of our achievement at the SA Sports Awards for being awarded the 2016 Recreation Body of the Year award.
Our thanks go to Sterkinekor for their great support in ensuring that the players had a fun-filled Christmas. We look forward to growing our partnership with Sterkinekor in 2017!!!! Special thanks to Erica Isaacman of Popz @Popz.Sterkinekor who made the Egolisquash Sterkinekor connection.............
2015 Cricket Awards
Egolisquash has been fortunate to partner with Lions Rugby and Highveld Cricket organizations who share our vision of ensuring that children have access to sports fun-filled activities.
Through these organizations, Egolisquash players and coaches were able to watch rugby and cricket fixtures at the Lions Rugby stadium and Highveld Cricket stadium. Many of our players and coaches had never been to a rugby/cricket match before and this was a great way to learn more about the game. These outings were a great success- through this huge exposure to the sport of rugby and cricket our players and coaches are now avid supporters of the games.
