How do we teach children on the spectrum to be confident and independent self advocates? When children are young the parents or caregivers have the responsibility of fighting for health insurance coverage so that they have access to all the appropriate therapies that they need, for example. However, as Sharon Fuentes, a blogger in Northern Virginia and a mother to a boy with Asperger's, point out, "I'm not always going to be here. My main goal in life, for any child, is to raise an independent, responsible adult who is able to function in the world and be able to contribute to society. We all have to advocate for ourselves. The reality is that with special needs kids, if they able to learn these skills just by watching, they would. But they can't so we have to teach them."
Parents can help their children be better self-advocates, as they grow older. First the child should be aware of what his/her needs are as well as her specific strengths and weaknesses. Jim Ball, executive chairman for the national board of the Autism Society says that you want to make sure that your child also knows how to filter the information they give out about themselves. "They are so trusting of people and so open and honest about who they are, which is one of the qualities I love most about them …so you have to teach them that there is a time and place to discuss it."
Here are some tips on teaching your child to express their diagnosis and express their specific needs
– They should understand the difference between needs and preferences. For example, for Fuentes' son, who is 13 years old, she had to explain to him that sitting close to his teacher in class was a preference, while having a quiet space to retreat and collect his thoughts when he gets overwhelmed is a need.
– Writing a note to their teachers. For older children especially it can be a useful exercise to write a letter to each of their teachers to explain who they are, what they like and dislike, what causes them stress, and what they most need to succeed. This is not only great for their own self-awareness, but also a great resource for the teacher.
– If it's possible, include the child in their own Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meetings. They can voice concerns over situations that may be problematic for them as well as gain a better understanding on how things work. "Just asserting what they want is important for anyone to be able to have a sense of self-worth, and a sense of confidence that you can share what you want and people are listening to you," says Fuentes.
– It's important to talk about who are "safe people" when it comes to sharing information about themselves. They do not need to tell everyone, including all of their peers, where someone may use the information against them in the case of bullies, for example.
– There are many books that can help with advocacy. Jim Ball recommends "Ask and Tell: Self Advocacy and Disclosure for People on the Autism Spectrum," edited by Stephen Shore.


text: The Best Locales In Houston For Your Cinco De Mayo, Taco Tuesday Turn Up Monica Jones May 5, 2015 Food, Lifestyle Cinco De Mayo traditionally known as "El Día de la Batalla de Puebla" is the one holiday where you can glorify your love for tacos and tequila wholeheartedly. The Mexican holiday is reserved to remember and honor the Battle of Puebla and most importantly celebrate Mexican culture and heritage. If you're a true Texan you've had the privilege of being exposed to one of Mexico's pride possessions in its cuisine. Thankfully at some point the Mexican culture blended with the North and the great state of Texas was blessed with Tex-Mex food. Many Houston area restaurants feature dishes that fuse native ingredients like corn, beans, and pork which have been satisfying generations of foodies for years. This year Cinco de Mayo coincidentally falls on a Tuesday, and we're guessing that "Taco Tuesday" and Cinco de Mayo specials will leave Houstonians in a food coma in no time. With a slew of Tex-Mex options in the city we've managed to narrow down our top choices to binge on enchiladas, fajitas, and margaritas without breaking the bank on Cinco de Mayo. Molina's: When in search of an authentic Tex-Mex experience one restaurant makes the top of our list mostly because it was one of the first coined Tex-Mex restaurants in Houston. The combination of flavorful enchiladas, cheesy chile con queso, and top shelf margaritas make Molina's a staple in the city and favorite among former President George H. W. Bush. Molina's will offer $5 house margaritas all day and a combo plate that includes fajitas, chicken, and 2 shrimp for $34.95. El Tiempo: El Tiempo is a diamond in the rough as most of its locations aren't the prettiest however the food is worth the eye sore. Adorned with festive décor this Tex-Mex restaurant has a long history of dishing out your favorites as the restaurant as the current owner is the predecessor of the queen of Tex-Mex, Mama Nifa. Treat yourself to a canonball, a golden fried stuffed avocado with your choice of chicken, shrimp, or beef. Gringos: What doesn't Gringos have to offer should be the question. With more than 8 area locations the Tex-Mex eatery has plenty of options for local residents to choose from. "Cinco like a Gringo" the catchy theme that will welcome hundreds of Coronita lovers as the establishment gets festive for the holiday. Be sure to also try the new featured drink of the month, the watermelon margarita. Besos, Monica Rodriguez Gonzalez Blanco Share this:TweetShare on Tumblr

England, 1560
(To Shield the Queen is apparently the title of this novel in the US. It was originally published in the UK as The Robsart Mystery.)
The Queen, Elizabeth I, is in love. And the man she is in love with is the unpopular – and already married! – Robert Dudley. If somehow he were to get an anullment and Elizabeth married him and he assumed the role of pseudo-king, there could be civil war. Especially as Mary Stuart, ex-Queen of France by marriage and Queen of Scotland by right, is considered by many people to be the rightful Queen of England. She is the legitimate granddaughter of Henry VII of England, whereas Elizabeth, in the eyes of many, is illegitimate, a bastard, the daughter of Ann Boleyn, whose marriage to Henry VIII was never legal as he had not been granted an anullment of his previous marriage by the Pope.
But of course, the real point was that Mary was a Catholic, whereas Elizabeth was a Protestant. The civil war would be a religious war.
And then, in September 1560, Robert Dudley's wife Amy Robsart is found lying with a broken neck at the foot of the staircase in their house. Was it murder – as many suspect? Murder instigated by Dudley – or even by the Queen herself?
Enter a young sleuth, Ursula Blanchard, brought up Cinderella-style by her sadistic aunt and uncle, then widowed young after a runaway marriage, and now trying to support her daughter and herself in a very harsh world. Her mother had been one of Ann Boleyn's ladies-in-waiting, and had got herself pregnant and borne the illegitimate Ursula, then died. But now Ursula is offered a post at the court of Elizabeth, who shows a not unnatural sympathy with any who knew and loved her mother, as Ursula's mother had. They are in fact almost exactly the same age.
I won't tell you the story, but of course it is Ursula who unravels the mystery, and at the same time uncovers a widespread Catholic plot against the Queen – in which it turns out her new, sexy, half-French lover, Matthew de la Roche, is involved. Now where do her loyalties lie?

who has led
through historic surges in enrollment, announced he will retire from the president's post in July of 2013.
Pulliams has led the state's largest community college nearly eight years, since May of 2004, raising the college's profile in the region. He helped the college win a $374 million bond measure in 2008 that has paid for more classrooms and workforce training programs.
Under his leadership, the college's enrollment grew more than 40 percent, scholarship awards to students tripled and annual contributions to the PCC Foundation climbed.
The president, also a member of the
, has helped foster partnerships between PCC and the City of Portland and has helped Portland Public Schools redesign Jefferson High School.
"Being president of Portland Community College has bee the best job I ever have had," said Pulliams, who was the first in his family to earn a college degree.
Pulliams revealed his retirement plans to PCC's board of directors Thursday evening. The board will launch a national search for a new president this spring. After he retires, Pulliams said, he will work as a consultant, helping other college boards search for executives.
Before coming to Portland, Pulliams served as vice chancellor for Community Colleges for the State University of New York, president of Orange County Community College in Middletown, N.Y.; and president of Highland Lakes Campus of the Oakland Community College District in Bloomfield Hills, Mich.
He has a bachelor's degree in social science from Michigan State University, a master's in counseling and personnel from Western Michigan University and a doctorate in education administration from the University of Michigan.

State of Play Synopsis
Oscar winner Russell Crowe leads an all-star cast in a blistering thriller about a rising congressman and an investigative journalist embroiled in a case of seemingly unrelated, brutal murders. Crowe plays D.C. reporter Cal McAffrey, whose street smarts lead him to untangle a mystery of murder and collusion among some of the nation's most promising political and corporate figures in State of Play, from acclaimed director Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland).
Handsome, unflappable U.S. Congressman Stephen Collins (Ben Affleck) is the future of his political party: an honorable appointee who serves as the chairman of a committee overseeing defense spending. All eyes are upon the rising star to be his party's contender for the upcoming presidential race. Until his research assistant/mistress is brutally murdered and buried secrets come tumbling out.
McAffrey has the dubious fortune of both an old friendship with Collins and a ruthless editor, Cameron , who has assigned him to investigate. As he and partner Della (Rachel McAdams) try to uncover the killer's identity, McAffrey steps into a cover-up that threatens to shake the nation's power structures. And in a town of spin-doctors and wealthy politicos, he will discover one truth: when billions are at stake, no one's integrity, love or life is ever safe.

Moses and Ten CommandmentsAccording to Biblical text, the Ten Commandments represent the covenants agreed to on Mt. Horab. The description of the tablets in the story says they were carved in stone housed in an ark, and the ark placed in a sanctuary in the Egyptian manner. Ten Commandments
This creation of a written mosaic law and the idea that it should be held sacred and sovereign over all the commandments of other gods lead to the idea of an inflexible law carved in stone but this was later modified by the selection of judges who could interpret any ambiguities. There are biblical passages that also refer to ten commandmentsThe Commandments being written by God on stone, and it is widely though not universally held that these were the Ten Commandments as detailed (see also: "Ritual Decalogue" for an alternative view). The commandments were inscribed on what is called tablets of stone, also referred to as tablets of testimony or tablets of the Covenant, that God gave to Moses. Moses then gave them to the people of Israel in the third month after their Exodus from Egypt. Israel's receipt of the commandment sor the Law of Moses Law of Moses occurred on the third day of preparations at the foot of the mount. Ten Commandments Law
After receiving the commandments and returning to Mount Horeb, Moses saw that the Israelites had "defiled themselves", and that his brother, Aaron, had made a Golden Calf and an altar in front of it. Moses, in terrible anger, broke the tablets. God later offered Moses to carve two other tablets, to replace the ones he smashed.Moses appears as the writer in in Exodus, God himself in Deuteronomy. This second set, brought down from Mount Sinai by Moses, was placed in the Ark of the Covenant, hence designated as the Ark of the Testimony, as we call them
The Ten Commandments
The Bible also makes other references to the commandments. References to them and the consequences for not following them are found throughout the book of Deuteronomy.
In the New Testament, we say that Jesus is Lord.
Jesus is Lord

The 10 Commandments - Christ's Summation in the New Testament About 1,400 years later, the 10 Commandments were summed up in the New Testament at Matthew 22, when Jesus was confronted by the religious "experts" of the day:
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:36-40).
A reflective reading of Christ's teaching reveals that the first four commandments given to the children of Israel are contained in the statement: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." It continues that the last six commandments are enclosed in the statement: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

We've featured lots of dedicated games torrent trackers recently on FILEnetworks Blog including GameAccess (Open), SeedGames (Open) and JuicyBitz (Open). The tracker we are going to talk about it not just another BitTorrent site with games – it's in fact the only one of its kind we've seen so far. GameUpdates is a private tracker for all game related extras – this includes update patches, mods, HD trailers, demos, betas and more. With this tracker around, there is no need to browse several dozen sites and wait in download queues to get mods and patches for your favorite PC games.
As you might already know patches, mods, demos and betas of modern games are quite large in file size. Due to bandwidth restrictions, most sites that allow free direct access to such files either limit the download speed or enforce the user to wait in queues. Some of these tend to get deleted pretty soon too. With technologies such as BitTorrent around, I've always wondered why people put up with this BS. This is exactly where GameUpdates.org has nailed it – they are showing the world how effective a distribution medium BitTorrent can be.
Note that GameUpdates is not a public torrent index. They maintain their own private tracker (all members have upload rights enabled) and require users to maintain 1:1 upload to download ratio. It's not a tiny site either. As of 10/4/2009, GameUpdates tracks over 2200 torrents and maintains an Alexa ranking below 150k - respectable stats for a niche tracker.
Registrations for this site are currently open. During this time, interested members can register an account for free. We do not know for how long this site will stay open so get in there ASAP.

A secure portal allowing our customers and vendors 24/7 access to their operational and financial information.
The avocado fruit has been dubbed a superfood for its nutrition and health qualities, and its popularity with consumers is rocketing. That means it's more important than ever that producers and importers can rely on fast and reliable transport of this cargo.
MSC's global network, expertise and advanced reefer technologies are helping avocado producers from countries like Chile, Peru and Israel to reach different parts of Europe, where imports tripled between 2013 and 2017. Global production is expected to reach 6.4 million tons by 2020, with consumption in the US and China also growing rapidly.
MSC is a world leader in reefer cargo services, offering the best tailor-made end-to-end refrigerated transport solutions for all kinds of fruit. With one of the world's largest and most advanced reefer container fleets, we understand the importance of preserving refrigerated cargo from the moment we receive the container until it reaches the recipient's door.
"People love eating avocados, making them an important tropical fruit with high commercial value" says Giuseppe Prudente, MSC's Chief Logistics Officer. "As they have relatively short shelf life we really have to take special care in their transport. That is our focus at MSC, where we use the latest technology and have continuously-trained experts to ensure your produce arrives in the best condition at the right time."
Deploying new, innovative technologies and shipping equipment
Our customers have a wide range of reefer technologies at their disposal according to their needs, including the XtendFresh controlled atmosphere (CA) solution for high-respiring perishables such as avocados and bananas, and most recently introducing the Star Cool CA system from Israel. These technologies enable MSC to transport fruit and other refrigerated cargo over longer distances, creating tremendous new opportunities for exporters and importers.
In addition MSC offers tailor-made end-to-end transport solutions across road, rail and sea and pre-trip inspections to ensure the very best door-to-door service and equipment to meet customers' requirements, and in 2018 we transported over 1.6 million TEU of reefer cargo.
MSC also offers customers the opportunity to learn more about new reefer technology and how it keeps cargo fresh at the MSC Reefer MasterClass. These can be arranged anywhere there is demand, offering the chance to meet representatives from the whole supply chain, and see real-life demonstrations of how a reefer container operates on its journey.
To find out more about how we can support your avocado business, come and see us at Hall 25, Stand B03 at Fruit Logistica Berlin from Feb 6-8. Or take a look at our event page here and our solutions for fruit shipping here.

Specifically statements and/or information provided are not meant as and cannot be construed to contain any legally binding offer by or on behalf of MSC that is open for acceptance.
New hubs for the SOT programme
The crucial role of container shipping
MSC's "Suspension of Transit" programme is a flexible cargo service that will help to fulfil the resumption of demand from Asia and ensure service continuity.
Why we Keep Investing in Reefer Cargo Services
Chinese New Year is the most important of all traditional Chinese festivals, with millions of people travel home and enjoying fresh produce.
Learn why the long distances involved in this trade require specialised logistics

Our arsenal of assessment tools helps clients sharpen their awareness of how they are perceived and creatively strategize their optimum work environment or lifestyle change. The result is clearer personal insights and more satisfying, realistic expectations.
Most of us operate under perceptions formed early in our life or imposed on us by teachers, mentors, bosses, or family members. We often fail to update personal information of our talents, strengths, preferences, gifts or values.
Using industry accepted, scientific, assessment instruments have been standard methodologies for many career counseling and coaching professionals for years. Couple assessment results with observable human behavior, test result trends, demonstrated proficiencies, and we could come up with likely valid conclusions.
At Resume & Career Services we use an assortment of instruments appropriate to your objectives whether it is career focused, personal interest, or lifestyle focused. Assessments are not designed to measure one's intelligence, judge one's values or education, but rather to create an awareness to accurately communicate traits, preferences and behavior style.
It is difficult to get to where you want to go if you have not confirmed that you have the requisite capabilities or passions for your target goals. The value of assessments is they help you gain confirmation, clarity and confidence. Again, these assessments are just indicators of consistent trends for strengths, natural talent and preferences.
Armed with this information you can choose among viable options for your work industry, environment, lifestyle or hobby. Imagine being able to link your strengths to known missing proficiencies of a company where you are pursuing an interview. Do you think you would have an advantage over other candidates if you can succinctly communicate your vision of how you can contribute to transforming an organization to gain even higher performance output? Or perhaps the newfound knowledge will allow you to rationally explain why you are changing your lifestyle to pursue a long-deferred passion.

Lawyers: Start with WHY
Every attorney and law firm knows what they do, and some will even describe how they do it. But very few describe why they do what they do.
The Future of Law: Are You Ready?
North Carolina attorneys are getting a glimpse of what the future holds due to recent events happening right here in our state. Avvo is offering limited legal services to consumers online. Legal Zoom filed a 10.5-million-dollar antitrust lawsuit against the North Carolina State Bar which was settled last year. Part of the consent order that resulted from that lawsuit requires both parties to "mutually support and use best efforts" to pass House Bill 436. HB436 will further define the "practice of law."
Good News for Attorneys! Old School Selling is Dead
I've never met anyone who aspires to be a sleazy salesperson. The issue for some attorneys, however, is that they are afraid to sell/promote/talk about generally their services AT ALL for fear of that is how they will be perceived.
Business Development Basics for Attorneys: Your Personal Brand
This post will be the first in a three part series in which I will discuss three fundamental concepts for attorneys to consider with regards to their business development and marketing efforts: 1) Identifying your personal brand; 2) Identifying your key audience; and 3) Using key messages as you network with this audience. In today's post, I'll […]

It was Hubby's birthday on Friday and he said he didn't want a cake. Say what? No cake? On your birthday? And he has a person who loves to bake for a wife?? He said he didn't want a cake because it's fattening. I know where he's coming from. We had been eating out more than usual lately and he's feeling the effects on his waist!
Well, a cake doesn't always have to be rich and calorie-laden. I looked for a simple cake to make and settled on Dorie Greenspan's Marble Loaf Cake. Marble cake is one of Hubby's favourite cake anyway. I brought it to our friend's house where we had a simple dinner of pasta and salad and dessert was the marble cake with coffee. The cake was served plain – no glaze, no sauce, no ice-cream, no unnecessary addition of calories – just what Hubby wanted. There were also no candles and no song, just birthday wishes, as he likes his birthday quiet! Happy Birthday, babe. Love ya!
Basic Marbled Loaf Cake
(adapted from Dorie Greenspan's Baking From My Home to Yours)
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons/ 170g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
4 oz bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled.
Center a rack in the oven and preheat oven the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a loaf pan (I used a 9-x-5-x-2 3/4-inch loaf pan), dust the inside with flour and tap out the excess. Place the pan on two regular baking sheets stacked on top of the other.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. With a stand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the sugar and beat for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Don't be concerned if the batter curdles. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the flour mixture in 3 additions and the milk in 2, mixing only until each addition is incorporated.
Pour half the batter into a medium bowl and stir the melted chocolate in, mixing gently until combined.
Drop spoonsful of plain and chocolate batter randomly into the pan, then plunge a table knife deep into the batter and zigzag the knife through the batter, making 6 to 8 zigs and zags.
Bake the cake for 1 hour and 20 to 30 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted deep into the center comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a cooling rack and let it rest for about 15 minutes before unmolding, then cool the cake to room temperature right side up on the rack.

Good luck if you're facing the high street today. Personally, I cannot think of anywhere I want to be less, and there are options even if you still have gifts to buy. Here are my favourites:
Railway Stations
St Pancras and King's Cross now have plenty of choices for great last-minute gifts. Personally, I'd be heading for Sourced Market to see what I could put together from there (I imagine that Paperchase or Kikki K would have something suitable to make some kind of hamper from). Even if only M&S was open, then you don't have to rely on their pre-made gifts. Most big stations might give you options to find something suitable.
Service Stations
A bit the same as the railway stations, you could make some good options. If there's a Waitrose or M&S, then sorted on the food front. You could buy a whole bunch of food and drink magazines at the newsagents. And the giant tubes of Jaffa Cakes seem a good standby.
Farm Shops
These will probably be having a busy day too, but still not as hectic. We'll be heading to one of our local ones to pick up the meat order, but they have great selections of craft beers and ciders on offer. There's also good sweet choices, and jams and pickles. While these might not have been your first choice, they are better than no choices. Christmas Day cold shoulder is never good.
Your local shop
My local shop has a surprisingly good selection of gin, and not just Gordons and Bombay Sapphire. They also have good fizz, and some local jams and honey. For a really different gift, they also have Indian ready meals made by a small local company that are delicious. The naan bread is spectacular. Even if you don't go in the rest of the year, then you might be surprised by what you can get.
Online vouchers for events, not things
There are loads of options still for being a voucher for something to do, rather than a thing. Better than the wrong fragrance any day. Or bad fragrance. Try Seasoned for great cookery courses or Not On the High Street for everything from a walking tour of London in four drinks to a Bristol foodie walking tour. Something for everyone, everywhere, with great downloadable vouchers.
So, there really is no need for rubbish, last minute gifts, particularly as it's likely only to be the more expensive ones that are left. And maybe there'll be a story you can tell about why this has all been so last minute.
Otherwise, see you at the farm shop, we're the ones having coffee and bacon sarnies and looking chilled. Merry Christmas!
