Just over a year ago we articulated a new set of corporate values, and two really captured my imagination: 'give a damn' and 'leave a legacy'.
I think that with our Nobody Harmed ambition – and this crowdsourcing event – we are living up to those values, by facing into the challenge of gambling-related harmand identifying what needs to change.
I hosted the afternoon's event and when I stood up on stage to welcome everyone to the room I was nervous. I didn't know what to expect - and this degree of openness is unusual in our industry, maybe even in business at large. That's why I was delighted by the energy and the real support for meaningful collaboration during and beyond this event.
There were five big themes that stood out.
- Data is a huge asset
We heard time and again how smart collection and use of data can influence safer gambling behaviours: handing data back to customers so they can understand their actions; spotting risky patterns of behaviour in real-time to intervene; and also the joining up of data across different companies to ensure we can respond to the full picture. Long-term progress is going to rest on better, more real-time, more comprehensive data.
- Relationships matter
But we also heard a very different story too: that relationships and trust are crucial. When people do start to experience problems they're often in a 'hot state', so building relationships and understanding of that person's situation in advance can make interventions more effective and support more impactful. This puts shop colleagues in a really important position but also raises the stakes on really strong customer relationships online.
- Near-term, quick wins can make a difference
When Nicola, our Director of Retail, came back to William Hill after the event, she tasked her team with taking some quick action, such as using the business's creative firepower to make responsible gambling messaging more impactful in shops. And through our Responsible Gambling Fund, which will launches in 2019, we'll be able to seed-fund pilot activity - we hope alongside some of the people in the room at this event.
- System-wide efforts are vital
Some of the big ideas that came through can't be put into action quickly or by one entity alone. Since the event, the big gambling operators have come together behind a voluntary whistle-to-whistle ban on gambling advertising in football matches. And some of the other big ideas require meaningful partnerships between operators, local government and frontline organisations. The organisations that we had in the room are the system needed to tackle this challenge.
- Sustainable change requires reshaping the UK's culture around gambling
The pre-event survey showed it, and we heard it a number of times from experts in the room: one of the biggest barriers to tackling gambling-related harm is that it is a hidden problem, often stigmatised. That means tackling it requires an opening-up of how we view gambling and how we talk about it in society. There are green shoots, and elements of popular culture from TV shows to The Archers have recently featured storylines on the subject. But more needs to be done, and we want to be a part of that.
It was July when we set out the ambition that nobody is harmed by gambling. We can't do this alone but this event showed just how many people are prepared to work together in that common cause. We won't always make progress as fast as we'd like, or you would like. But as an organisation it's our commitment to be open and transparent on this journey, and we're counting on all of you to keep our feet to the fire."

A Cleveland, Ohio mother dropped her toddler from a second story window Tuesday to save his life. It happened just before the child's father allegedly set her on fire.
The toddler survived without a scratch thanks to another young mother who didn't hesitate when she heard the cry for help.
"She's just like, can you catch my baby? I said yes I got him and she dropped him in my arms and I caught the baby, Naquetta Jackson said.
Seconds later, the victim jumped from the window, her clothes ablaze.
The suspect escaped through another second story window in the back of the home. Eight hours later, Kevin Ford was captured just a few houses down from the scene.
Police say his clothes reeked of lighter fluid. The neighborhood is breathing collective sigh of relief. The child's mother was treated for burns and a broken arm and released from MetroHealth Medical Center.

Not surprisingly, a trio of former Michigan State football players has seen their collegiate time in East Lansing come to an unceremonious end.
In early June, wide receiver Donnie Corley (pictured), defensive end Josh King and defensive back Demetric Vance were all charged with one count each of felony criminal sexual misconduct in connection to an alleged assault that took place on Jan. 16 at an off-campus apartment complex. Not long after the warrants were issued and charges were announced, head coach Mark Dantonio released a lengthy statement announcing that all three players had been dismissed from his football program.
In early February, a Title IX investigation into the alleged incident was launched; four months later, that probe reportedly ended, with the findings then being sent into the university's student conduct system. A month later, an MSU spokesperson confirmed to mlive.com, all three have been "dismissed from the university for violating the school's relationship violence and sexual misconduct policy."
Instead of the school's Title IX office leading the investigation, the university brought in an outside consultant specializing in Title IX to investigate the allegations that led to the felony criminal charges.
In addition to the criminal sexual misconduct charge, King was charged with one count each of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and capturing/distributing an image of an unclothed person as well.

Get Kids Involved
If you have kids, then you know that up to a certain age they have a strong desire to help mom and dad do just about anything. When appropriate, get your kids involved in what you're doing. Simple household tasks like recycling and using natural cleaning products are a great start. If you have teenagers in the house, you can get their help with brainstorming and working on larger projects like installing sustainable cork or bamboo flooring in your home.
One task that kids of all ages will want to be involved in is helping out with the family garden. Teach them about composting and the virtues of growing your own organic vegetables and herbs. Seeing food on the plate that came from seeds they planted is a big thrill for a kid, as well as a great lesson in sustainability.

Your child is more capable than you realize. Even your preschooler can begin to learn these essential life lessons.
With so much for our children to learn in today's high-tech world, it's all too easy for them to miss out on practical life skills, whether it's running a load of wash, reading a map, or handwriting a letter. A recent study by the online security company AVG Technologies found that while 58 percent of 3- to 5-year-olds in the U.S. can navigate a smartphone, fewer than one out of six (15 percent) could make their own breakfast. "I see many parents doing everything for their kids instead of letting them figure out how to fend for themselves," says Tim Elmore, founder of Growing Leaders, a nonprofit in Norcross, Georgia, that works with schools and civic groups to promote leadership qualities in children. Start teaching these life skills now, and put your kid on the path toward independence.

The appointment of former Disney Studios topper Rich Ross as Shine America CEO is the latest high-wattage hire by Elisabeth Murdoch's Shine Group.
The growth of Shine America and its offshoots during the past two years has reinforced the assertions of autonomy that Elisabeth Murdoch and her father have made ever since News Corp. purchased Shine Group for $663 million in early 2011. The publicly-stated strategy has been
that Shine would remain entirely separate from other News Corp.
TV and film operations, giving it the best-of-both-worlds ability to draw on News Corp.'s deep pockets but the opportunistic nimbleness of an indie outfit, albeit a sizable one.
Observers have questioned the efficiency of having Shine operate as a sovereign state within the News Corp. empire, which has fueled speculation that Shine is a short-term part of the long-term answer to the generational succession issue that looms for the conglom that Rupert Murdoch built and controls as majority stakeholder. (At present Elisabeth Murdoch reports to News Corp. prexy Chase Carey.)
Within News Corp., there is no doubt that Shine is being built up for the long haul. Ross will assume his Shine America CEO post in January with a mandate to expand its scripted programming business. His hire comes a few months after Shine recruited NBCUniversal exec Vivi Zigler to run Shine America's 360 and Digital unit devoted to branded entertainment, ancillary products, live events and digital ventures. Moreover, Shine America has brought in nearly a half-dozen mid-level creative and business-oriented execs in the past year.
As Shine America CEO, Ross will succeed Oz native Carl Fennessy, who plans to return to Australia to resume his role as joint-CEO of Shine Australia by the middle of next year.
Ross and Elisabeth Murdoch go back nearly 20 years when both were working on the launch of FX at News Corp., and the two have stayed friends over the years.
"I have known and admired Rich for many years," Murdoch said in announcing the appointment. "He is a world-class executive and the ideal leader to build on our extraordinary momentum at Shine America."
Fennessy's plan had always been to return to Oz after he finished a reorg of Shine's U.S. operations, which included the blending of Shine's operations with Reveille.
Ross' immediate focus will be working with Carolyn Bernstein, Shine America's exec veep of scripted programming, in growing scripted TV development, with particular emphasis on developing properties derived from formats controlled by Shine's global affiliates. The company already has a high-profile drama pilot in the works at FX, "The Bridge," based on a Shine format that has been a hit in Scandinavia.
Shine already has a solid footprint in the U.S. TV market with unscripted series, including Fox's "MasterChef," NBC's "Biggest Loser" and numerous cable series.
For Ross, the appeal of returning to the exec ranks at Shine is rooted in the company's global approach to content creation. After a rocky 2½-year tenure as head of Disney's film operations, Ross took the summer off to consider his next move. Murdoch reached out to him about joining Shine shortly after he left the Mouse House, and the discussions became serious during the past six weeks.
"I knew I wanted to work at a company that cares about the content it creates," Ross told Variety. "I knew there was a unique opportunity to make great scripted content and reality content and have it go all over the world. Everybody's talking about doing a global business model but only Liz and Shine have really put it together."
Move to Shine returns Ross to his TV roots, though the company does have film development activity underway in the U.S. and other markets.
After being part of the FX launch team from 1993-96, Ross joined Disney Channels Worldwide as prexy and helped steer the cable group's remarkable rise with original skeins and telepic franchises. In October 2009, he was tapped by Disney CEO Robert Iger to run the Mouse's film division,
By many accounts, the segue to film was a rough one for Ross, who had the tough assignment of being a film biz outsider tasked with implementing major structural changes at the film studio right off the bat. By March, when Disney warned investors of a pending $200 million writedown on "John Carter," Ross' days on the Burbank lot were numbered.
"The journey of figuring out what's next after you've worked for one company for a long time is definitely a process," Ross said. "But Shine just semed to be a custom-fit for me. I feel like they are one step ahead of everyone else in being a global business. And to have the chance to work with someone I have so much respect for was too good to pass up."

FKEE UMP Lecturers Share Expertise in LEGO MINDSTORMS® Programming and Development
Pekan, 23rd February – The Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering or Fakulti Kejuruteraan Elektrik dan Elektronik (FKEE) Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) recently organized a Training of Trainers (TOT) workshop at Ancasa Royale Pekan in collaboration with the District of Pekan Education Office/ Pejabat Pendidikan Daerah (PPD) to enhance the skills of teachers from Robotic Clubs of Schools in the District of Pekan in the form of LEGO® MINDSTORMS® application.
This two-day workshop was attended by 22 teachers from 12 primary and secondary schools within the vicinity of the district of Pekan and facilitated by a group of eight FKEE lecturers. The event was graced by the Head of Human Resource Development Unit of PPD Pekan, Mr Kamaludin Abdul Latiff.
In his speech, Mr Kamaludin expressed his appreciation to the dedicated UMP lecturers who had helped the PPD by sharing their expertise in in-depth robotic set techniques. The workshop also gave the schools the opportunity to make preparations for a robotic competition which was nearing.
Mr Kamaludin was also impressed with the achievement of Sekolah Kebangsaan Serambi, representing the District of Pekan, which had managed to win the 8th position out of the total 68 participating schools in the Space Challenge Robotic Competition held in Putrajaya on 21st February 2017.
Meanwhile, according to the program director, Associate Professor Dr. Hamzah Ahmad, the ToT workshop also gave exposure to the teachers who were Robotic Club coordinators on basic techniques of LEGO® MINDSTORMS® robotic programming such as Line Following, Color Detection, and Move & Pick. He added that, "LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Set is a robotic kit which has the programming and hardware elements. This Robotic Kit will be designed for users to build and programme numerous robotic inventions or automations according to one's own creativity." Other scientific and engineering elements can be applied by students. The Robotic Kit would also be showcased at the local National Robotic Competition (NRC) and the international World Robotic Competition (WRC)," he said.
In this workshop, participants would be taught how to use LEGO® programming and building more efficiently. This workshop also received support from the Knowledge Transfer Program (KTP) which would ensure sustainability of knowledge in the fields of science and mathematics.
With this sharing of knowledge, it is hoped that all parties could form a concerted effort towards nurturing students' interests in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). He also hoped that with the exposure and training provided, the teachers could help students to apply the knowledge and skills at their respective schools.

So Virginia Reader's Choice - if you teach in Virginia, you may have heard of it. Each year, the VSRA selects 10 books per category (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12) and students read and get to vote on their favorite. It's a fun activity for students who love rooting for their favorite book!
This year is the first year I'll be promoting this as a Library Media Specialist. Already, some of my fifth grade girls have read through most of the books (I put them out in the Fall), but I waited to introduce it until January. Too many things going on this Fall, and I wanted to wait until after my professional conference.
There are LOTS of ideas out there for each book, but what I created was a packet with ballots, a Bingo type game, a "Memory Book" for my younger students (because you can't remember 10 books after reading #10!), as well as creating an Animoto video for the Primary level and finding book trailers for the 3-5 crowd!
I compiled it in a pack and shared with the other LMS in my district, but wanted to share it with you as well! Click on the picture to take you to TPT. If you are a TN user, it will be uploaded there soon! Right now, I need to get off the computer and help my son celebrate his 14th birthday (as soon as he finishes this level of "Halo Reach"). Happy New Year to each of you and even if you're not a Virginia educator, these are some pretty cool books! I hope to have book activities out there soon as well and add to the pack!

Acting San Francisco police Chief Toney Chaplin spoke about the incident at the police commission meeting. People there applauded Chaplin for the outcome of this incident. He says this is what officers have been training the last year and a half to do.
In his words, "the longer we delay these situations, the better they end," Chaplin said.
The nearly four hour standoff was filled with tense moments. There were bean bag shot, flash bangs and loud commands with one goal in mind. "The sanctity of human life above all, we would have stayed out here until tomorrow," Chaplin said.
Just after 2 p.m., SFPD responded to a man armed with a handgun in an altered mental state in the city's Tenderloin neighborhood at McAllister and Jones streets.
Sky7 HD showed the man shirtless belly down on the street.
The man told police he wanted them to take his life.
"The officers did what we've been training to do for the last 18 months and that is they created a safety pocket, they backed up, they created time," Chaplin said.
It was that time that enabled officers to de-escalate the situation while a vocal crowd gathered nearby.
"You have killed too many people already," said one bystander.
The man's family assisted negotiators. Officers secured the man's weapon and ammunition.

"He was hurt a little bit by some of the projectiles that had to be fired when he started clicking the gun," Chaplin said.
Mayor Lee commended SFPD and Acting Police Chief Chaplin saying, "In direct communication with me all afternoon he continually showed the judgment and prudence that resulted in a non-violent outcome."
Acting police Chief Chaplin apologized for being late to the police commission meeting. "He's not dead because of all the reforms we've already implemented," Chaplin said.
"That's what you should be doing that does not atone or account for years of carnage," said one person at the meeting.
When asked earlier on the scene if the man would be facing any charges Acting police Chief Chaplin said the man would first have a psychological evaluation.

and then birthday party #2…
the second party was later in the day and it was one of those build-a-bear explosions of kids and stuffing!
frankly, i was glad to not be going to this one.
but as ever, jaz had a fun time and came home with a super-duper new kittie 🙂
she is very proud of SweetieHeart. one word, not two.
which is what she named the kitty 🙂
now she is giving her new kitty a "bath"!
well, those three are ready for that cake to be out of the plastic, aren't they?
austin, aidan and jasper make great playground playmates!
what's going on here? are they figuring out who gets which piece?
jasper had her dress on, a thin layer of glittery powder on (everywhere!) and a homemade bracelet on and man, was she strutting around feeling cute 🙂
i just like this carousel shot.
or maybe i like this one better!!!
it was a busy, busy saturday for the two of them but they made it through the other side full of smiles and cake.
hmmmm, cake.

Sbai, Sabai, or Pha biang is shawl-like garment, or breast cloth worn in Mainland Southeast Asia. The term Sabai is used for a woman's silk breast wrapper in Cambodia, Siam, Southern Siam, Isan and Laos while in Coastal Sumatra it described as Shouldercloth. "Sabais can also be used by men in Lao weddings or when attending religious ceremonies. The type of sabai typically worn by Lao men often has checkered patterns. Sabai also well known as a long piece of silk, about a foot wide, draped diagonally around the chest cover one shoulder which its end drop behind the back".
The Sabai had noted as Cambodia's national costume tie with its ancient's Sampot and Chang Kben.
Along with the shoulder sash, selendang of Malay and sabai of Cambodia may have been derived from the Indian garment called a sari, the end of which is worn over one shoulder, concluded that most of today Southeast Asia countries were under Indianized kingdoms.
There are a related mythology in Khmer culture, retained a history of sabai which can likely to be invent since 1st century of Funan era in Cambodia's history. Preah Thaong and Neang Neak, a legend which shares a common with the founder of Funan era as the two main characters were recognize the similarity to Queen Soma, a first leader of Cambodia and a Brahmin Kaundinya. It discovered with the tales in the scene when Preah Thong clings to a piece of cloth known as sabai worn on the nagini in order to make the journey to the Nāga's kingdom. In that tale, sabai is symbolic to Neang Neak, the naga princess's tail. For instance, there is an important little rite within the marriage ceremony called Preah Thong Taong Sbai Neang Neak,a symbolic representation of the legend as the groom must to hang the bride's Sabai, follows to the room for honeymoon.
However, according to the most bas belief blooming around the temple since the beginning of Khmer Empire rule, most of Apsara had seem to upper nude worn only Khmer traditional sarong kor and their style of Sampot. This illustration had announced that those temple was built in order to blessing the Hindism in culture as the unique Buddhism temple, Bayon introduced a small part of carving which not look like of Apsara but the ruler's wife or concubine worn the traditional Sabai across its left shoulder, the same as what is worn today. The issue had depicts that sabai may present the clothing of Buddhism refer to the similar way of clothing of Buddhism monk which cover its garment across one shoulder.
The evidence started to totally correct after a Khmer King required to stop the Hindism in country and avoided to catch Buddhism especially Theravada for the nation's religion. Began from Ponhea Yat of Chatomok era, the court lady had known to worn the sabai which had transformed into a decoration shoulder shawl lately since the flourish of Siam Kingdom which heavily adapted Khmer culture into their own.

Here you can post the information about different pieces of national dresses. It doesn't matter clothing of what country you bear in mind. Please add photos of mentioned garments to make it more interesting and clear for other people.

"The range of styles and genres is really impressive to me," says New Form chief creative officer Kathleen Grace. "They put a lot of creativity into bringing something new to their channel, bringing something that people haven't seen from a Joey Graceffa or a Ryan Hunter before." The New Form Incubator, announced in July, represents the first set of production deals that the studio has announced since it was founded in April. Each film features a cameo from YouTube vlogger Mitchell Davis, which Grace says helps create continuity between the varying projects. Read more Ron Howard and Brian Grazer's New Form Digital to Offer USC Program After debuting on each creator's YouTube channel, the projects will act as back-door pilots of a sort to fully fledged digital series that could stream on a variety of online platforms, says Grace. "These are 14 distinct, interesting worlds to explore," she adds. "While we're focused on bringing audiences to these shorts, we're also thinking about what's next and how we continue to work with these filmmakers and turn these projects into series." One of those projects is Miss Earth, which was produced by Anna Akana, who also stars as beauty queen Victoria Young, who competes for the fate of earth in an intergalactic depopulation pageant. "I don't think there's enough science-fiction comedy out there," says Akana, who has been mulling the idea for some time and took advantage of New Form's resources to finally bring the project to life. Grace says New Form's goal was to work with budding filmmakers like Akana — who creates cinematic shorts in addition to vlog-style videos on her YouTube page — to help them stretch their skills. And Akana confirms that Miss Earth was the biggest production she's led. She adds that after working on many of her YouTube videos on her own, having a collaborative experience with New Form was a welcome change. "They had some great notes about making the story feel more complete," says Akana. "They haven't tried to step on me creatively, and they've been really insightful. They offer really solid insight into making the project better." Read more YouTube to Invest in New Content From Top Creators New Form also looked for filmmakers who were willing to develop ideas outside of more standard YouTube models. That's what appealed to Ryan Hunter, a member of comedy group POYKPAC, which created Mr. Student Body President, a comedy inspired by House of Cards and West Wing that follows the trials of school president Tyler as he tries to maintain his power. "One of the first things that Kathleen said to me is that they weren't interested in comedy because they felt that it was overserved online," says Hunter. "I actually became very interested at that point because they're trying to do something different, and I totally agreed with her." All 14 shorts debut Oct. 16 on the creator's YouTube channels. Here is a full list of the shorts funded through the New Form Incubator: The Front Page — Delve into the world of the bizarre and highly dedicated employees of The Weekly Gazette, a newspaper-turned-blog that specializes in stories of the paranormal, supernatural and just plain weird. The Front Page is a comedy short produced by 5 Second Films. Miss Earth — Set 1,000 years in the future, Miss Earth, starring and produced by Akana, chronicles beauty queen Victoria Young as she competes for the fate of our planet in Galactic's depopulation pageant. Killed the Cat — A surreal, indie coming-of-age pic by filmmaker Bertie Gilbert about three escapee teenage mental patients on the loose, trying to cope with life outside the walls of the hospital. The Rose Window — This film from the Brothers Riedell follows a young couple who decide to try out a controversial technology that allows them to see into their future — and what they see will change their relationship forever. Fine Tuned — A coming-of-age comedy from filmmaker Craig Benzie, aka WheezyWaiter, follows Linus, a computer programmer, and Reid, the emo rocker next door, as they team up to create a hit love song and put technology and old-fashioned songwriting to the test while trying to win the love of the girl. Instant Getaway — Filmmaker Joe Penna's story centers on a man running away from a Mexican cartel who uses a new teleportation device to get into the U.S., only to be accused of a murder he didn't commit. Ethereal — This sci-fi coming-of-age series, starring and executive produced by Graceffa, is set in a futuristic world where virtual reality immersion has been outlawed and banned — but best friends Zane and Asher find a way in. The Grey Road — In a post-apocalyptic world, where zombies have ruled the night for well over a decade and where people's souls are believed to have fallen into "the void," best friends Chance and Dallas are on a journey to find a way into "the void" to save the lives of the ones they love. The project stars and was produced by Meghan Camarena. Oscar's Hotel — From the surreal and fantastical mind of filmmaker PJ Liguori, aka KickthePJ, the story centers on Oliver, who has been made the new proprietor of Oscar's Hotel for mythical creatures and must ban together with the finest guests in the hotel to evict a troublesome beast. Mr. Student Body President — When the new principal threatens to dissolve the student government, Tyler, the seemingly upstanding student-body president, begins to release his true colors and his willingness to stop at nothing to maintain power. The comedy was produced by POYKPAC. Parallax — One morning, a meteor strikes the earth and leaves the world ablaze. Seventeen years later, Jonathan has devoted his life to predicting when the next wave of meteorites will hit the earth — except nobody believes him until it's too late. It was produced by Sawyer Hartman. Bad Burglars — From filmmaker Tim Hautekiat, this comedy follows a trio of loveable yet dysfunctional burglars that are ridiculed by the media and not taken seriously by their peers as they attempt to build a name for themselves through various failed robbery attempts. The Fourth Door — From filmmaker Tony E. Valenzuela and BlackboxTV, the project is an interactive cinematic exploration of death and the events that haunt our lives. I Ship it — This coming-of-age romantic comedy, produced by Yulin Kuang, revolves around Zoe and Charlie, wizard rock fans and musicians whose friendship turns into something much more when they are both dumped by their longtime partners.

First, I have made some changes to my blog. I made the blog the main page again, changed the theme, removed the page nav widget & added my Twitter feed as a text widget. Let me know what you think. I think it needs some more color but I have to purchase the ability to edit CSS. Please, please tell me if it needs something.
Second, the second presidental debate is tonight @ Belmont in Nashville. I most certainly will be watching. I'm hoping to live blog or live Tweet or maybe even do an Utterz. We'll see. It kinda depends if I'm at my own house. But I will have something to say about it. Just watch.

Pepperoni Pizza Stuffed Crescent Rolls [+ Video]
Our daughters make one recipe a week for dinner and these Pepperoni Pizza Stuffed Crescent Rolls are our youngest daughter's creation she can't wait to share!
I'm sitting here watching the Blind Side, remember that movie? I haven't seen it in years. In fact, the last and only time I've seen the recipe is when I was in the hospital fighting to survive. It's brought back a lot of memories sitting here, listening, watching, writing about Pepperoni Pizza Stuffed Crescent Rolls.
Ok, the writing about pepperoni pizza stuffed crescent rolls definitely didn't happen, but it is this time and it's all thanks to the little girl who I was desperately trying to live for in order to bring her into the world.
Can't wait to tell you all about it!
Time has flown by too quickly, hasn't it. I remember wanting and wishing for college and growing up, unable to see life around me.
Later I was excited to be in love, married and waiting on little ones to join our family. I had no idea that my body would work against me having children in a horrible way.
When I was pregnant with our first I got incredibly sick and couldn't figure out what to do to keep things under control. Everyone had all of the answers…
- Eat a little cracker before you ever even sit up in bed you won't throw up.
- Chew mint gum it will help with the nausea.
- If sleep more and take a walk outside in the cold air your body will handle the nausea more.
UGH!! It's not true!
Maybe for someone.
Not me.
Hyperemesis Gravidarum, It's Not Morning Sickness
We wrote an entire post about Hyperemesis Gravidarum, it's NOT morning sickness. We wanted the chance to explain what I was really going through and also, more importantly to help others be educated in what they might be suffering from and to know that they aren't alone.
Our second pregnancy was the absolute worst. I was in and out, in and out of the hospital over and over again. On one particular stay towards the end of the pregnancy I was so physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted.
The Blind Side
When you're that sick you can't stand noise, movement, reading, breathing, eating and on and on. Every sensory thing you could think of only makes you more sick. Because of that you spend a lot of time staring at the walls. Not sleeping because on top of being sick I developed insomnia as well. There was no release.
But one night, out of nowhere I felt like I could attempt TV. I turned it on and The Blind Side was on. I made it off and on through most of the movie that night. It sounds silly to say but it felt like a great tender mercy.
Can you imagine staring at the wall every day, all day and all night for 9 months? It makes you feel crazy because not only are you literally bored out of your mind but you're also so depressed and sick.
Her First Recipe Video
I know, what does this have to do with pepperoni pizza stuffed pizza rolls?
Not much, but also everything.
Our second daughter, the one that I was pregnant with when I had that tender mercy, she's the one that created this recipe. I found her recording her own video and decided to help her out.
I held the phone and she totally made her own little video!
How is our little miracle baby old enough to do something like that?! I think it's pretty darn good for her first video, especially at 8 years old!
Pepperoni Pizza Stuffed Pizza Rolls
As you can see, you make the pizza rolls by using just a few ingredients.
- Crescent Roll dough
- Pepperoni
- String Cheese
- Butter
- Garlic Seasoning
- The BEST Pizza Sauce for dipping (and I highly recommend you make our homemade version)
Can I Use Shredded or Sliced Mozzarella?
Can I use shredded cheese? Yes! Please use any kind of mozzarella cheese that you'd like, but string cheese stays the most cheesy and stretchy in the pepperoni pizza stuffed crescent roll.
Can you Skip the Garlic Seasoning?
You don't have to do the butter or the garlic seasoning. Or if you'd like to try a different version you could always do parmesan cheese sprinkled on top!

The last we heard from son of Zion Michael Ersland his plans were set for Zambia, Africa as a Bible translation advisor. Well, there has been a slight change in plans and he is now bound for Ghana, West Africa. He will be working with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ghana, the Bible Society of Ghana, and the Komba Literacy and Bible Translation Project. This project has undertaken the translation of the Old Testament (beginning with the lectionary) following the successful launch of the NewTestament in November 2014. Michael would like to set off to Ghana as soon as possible to join his new colleagues. The last obstacles remaining are funding for his household setup ($7,500 needed) and for his vehicle ($28,000 needed). Please prayerfully consider a special gift to one or both of these funds so that Michael can be released for service among the Komba.
You can read more about Michael's plans in his Winter/Spring 2016 newsletter or watch his video on his Luthern Bible Translator Project Page. He also posts to his Ersland Updates Facebook group. If you are interested in assisting financialy with Michael Ersland's mission work please go to his web page here and look near the bottom for links to Ersland Ministry "Ersland-Vehicle" or "Ersland-Household Set-up".
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. - Proverbs 22:6

With over 2,000 students living on campus, Oakland University is expanding with a new residence hall. However, it might not be enough.
Come fall, a majority of students are excited to move on to campus after their summer break. However, for some moving back to Oakland University this means moving into the Extended Stay America down the street from campus instead of a dorm room in one of the six on campus residence halls.
Due to an influx of students wanting to live on campus, Oakland University Housing made a decision to place handful of students on the seemingly never ending wait list to get into housing in the Extended Stay America off campus as a temporary solution. While this may seem like a solid temporary fix for these students to still attend classes and live near campus, most residents living in the hotel hate it there. Even with the new residence hall that broke ground on June 8, 2016 set to have 750-beds for students, with Oakland University set to continue expanding the campus population, many believe it will not be enough when it has finished construction in 2018.
Doran Londo is on his second year being placed in the hotel before being able to move back onto campus. Last year Londo explained that it took him the majority of the year before he was placed into an on campus room. His biggest complaints, the lack of transportation and community. Unlike in all other residence halls on campus where community building is a big part of everyday life, in the extended stay "it's non existent." says Londo. Londo has also never met his Resident Assistant either, someone who plays a huge role for students in housing to build community and make residences feel at home.
Last year Patrick Wilkerson was also placed on the waitlist for housing and lived in the Extended Stay America until being placed in a room in West Vandenberg Hall in late September. Wilkerson explained that walking ten minutes just to get onto campus was terrible. "It was hard to judge when I needed to leave for class as it took ten minutes plus the walk from the edge of campus to whatever building my class was in." Wilkerson also felt in more of a community once moving onto 5 West Vandenberg last fall.
The newest residence hall is set to be completed August 2018 but this only increases the chance that the demand for housing will continue to rise. When housing contracts opened for the 2016-2017 school year, Director of University Housing Jim Zentmeyer explained that all spots for returning students were filled up in mere minutes at a Residence Hall Association meeting a few days after the sign ups were opened. Why is Oakland University not looking into adding more than one new residence halls as this is such a problem year after year?
Current Resident Assistant Alexis Herbon has proposed the university turn Anibal and Pryle Houses back into residence halls. Being the same size as Fitzgerald House, apart of the Small Halls community including Hill House and Van Wagner House, that would provide beds for an additional 192 residence to live on campus. Herbon also explained "it's easier to find office space than housing space."
While a few students are admitted into on campus housing almost everyday due to other students choosing to leave their housing spots, many students are then placed into the hotel to fill those vacant spots, there is still a need for more housing expansion to be built over the next few years. Since Oakland University is already planning an expansion for the Oakland Center and the one residence hall, would it really be that much more to add a second new residence hall?

As Reform Jews, we have an obligation to the earth and all of its inhabitants. Our Jewish texts and tradition teach us a dual responsibility to "till and tend" (Genesis 2:15) the earth and to "love your fellow as yourself" (Leviticus 19:17-18). It is this tradition that leads us to see climate change as more than just an environmental issue. Climate change is an ethical, political, public health, and – above all – a social justice issue. Climate justice is about the real human-felt impacts of a changing environment and the urgency that places on us to act.
Introduction to Climate Justice
Working towards climate justice means addressing climate change at the intersections of the racial, social and economic disparities that it perpetuates. All humans rely on the environment for their livelihood. And, we recognize that addressing climate change is deeply interconnected with our vision of a more just world. Climate change causes droughts, diseases, extreme weather, famine and air and water contamination. Both in the United States and abroad, the effects of climate change disproportionately impact disadvantaged and vulnerable communities.
This is evidenced by the disparity in exposure to toxins, rates of diseases caused by climate change, and destruction left in the wake of extreme weather. Six million Americans live within three miles of a coal power plant. Coal power plants are more heavily concentrated in low-income and communities of color. Because of this disproportionate exposure, African American and Latino children are more likely than white children to be poisoned by lead and to have asthma. African American communities also have disproportionately high rates of asthma and cancer clusters. Internationally, the effects of climate change are most significant for developing countries that lack the means for proper preparation and emergency response. For example, Haiti's crops and agriculture were devastated by Hurricane Matthew in October 2016, which took the lives of over 1,000 people. This is due – in large part – to a lack of preparedness and poverty.
The United States and other developed nations have a unique role to play in curbing the effects of climate change and making long-term changes to further prevent it. The world's poorest nations contribute the least to climate change, yet they bear the heaviest brunt of it. Wealthier countries can help developing countries prepare for the effects of climate change and commit to reducing carbon emissions in their own countries. The Green Climate Fund, established by former Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, is intended to help poorer countries – many of which have more fragile ecosystems that are strongly affected by climate disruption and subsequent decreases in biodiversity and world food supply – adapt to climate change. Developed countries were encouraged to put money into this fund in advance of the historic United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, France in 2015. The United States has pledged to contribute $3 billion over 10 years to the Green Climate Fund. As of 2016, the United States has contributed $1 billion. Canada has pledged to contribute $2.65 billion over 10 years. Both the United States and Canada rank among the top 10 emitters of greenhouse gases and have a responsibility to lead the world on climate action.

My dear sweet Granny......
Oh how much i love you!
|My favorite person :)
Granny's Brother is here to stay with us a few days (more on that tomorrow). Granny is so feisty, funny and witty, and has the greatest expressions. I love watching her and her Brother talking with each other and noticing they have very similar personalities, that same wit, comical personalities, and expressions. I have spent all day listening to stories about their home town, old friends, war stories, their parents, the house they grew up in, and reminiscing through old photo albums. Today has been such a special blessing that i will never forget.
I am so very blessed to be able to live in the little house with her. Sometimes I get a bit depressed because i feel like my life has not really moved forward much the past couple of years. My friend told me i think you are meant to be there with her now and i really do think that is true. I have discovered what a true blessing it really is and not to take one moment for granted. I think i need her and she needs me. As Granny always says "you are my buddy and we help each other out!"

Think back to a time when someone insulted your favorite musician or band. Did you take it personally? Recent research suggests that an individual's favorite music genre is closely related to their personality traits. Professor Adrian North of Heriot-Watt University located in Edinburgh, UK, conducted a study that shows the correlation between musical tastes and personality type. North is an expert in music psychology and he has carried out extensive research on the psychology of music in the social aspect. Specifically, he has studied the relationship between pop music culture and why some adolescents may behave defiantly y when growing up. Professor Adrian North has been able to also make correlations that connect consumer behavior, and how music plays an important role in our lifestyles.
Over the past few years, Professor North has conducted a worldwide study that links musical taste and your unique personality. North asked participants to rate over one hundred different genres of music, followed by a series of personality-based questions. More than 36,000 people in over 60 countries participated in the survey to find out if there were in fact correlations between personality traits and their music taste.
Blues fans:
Jazz fans:
Classical fans:
Rap fans:
Opera fans:
Country and western fans:
Reggae fans:
Dance fans:
Indie fans:
Bollywood fans:
Rock/heavy metal fans:
Chart pop fans:
Soul fans:
Based on the questionnaires, fans of blues, rap, opera, reggae, and classical music have all shown to have high self-esteem. While indie and rock/heavy metal lovers lack motivation and have a low self-esteem. However, indie and rock/heavy metal fans are positive and creative. Country music fans proved themselves to be hard-workers. Soul fans displayed results of being outgoing and gentle. Based on North's overall findings, it seems clear that there are in fact a good amount of truth in the stereotypes of music fans. For example, rock/heavy metal fans hold a common stereotype of being rebelious, but research shows that they do have a soft side to them. There are many similarities between the different genres of music.
The Myers-Briggs® Type Indicator (MBTI®) assessment is an excellent way to identify your personality type, and gain a better overall understanding of who you are. The MBTI® is a questionnaire that measures your psychological views and personal preferences. No answer is correct nor incorrect, they are simply based on the individual. When you complete the assessment, you will be more knowledgeable about your behavior and persoanlity traits. Take the assessment now to match your personality traits with your taste in music.
"People do actually define themselves through music and relate to other people through it but we haven't known in detail how music is connected to identity. We have always suspected a link between music taste and personality. This is the first time that we've been able to look at it in real detail. No one has ever done this on this scale before." –Professor Adrian North
North is now seeking participants for an online questionnaire exploring the same topic. To take part in the research visit http://peopleintomusic.com

|Sullivan, Elaine (Carrick Therapeutics 201501 CEO before Eli Lilly + Evotec 2015H1 Supervisory Board Member)
Carrick Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the innovative research and development of transformative oncology medicines, today announced that the first patient has been dosed in the phase 1 clinical programme of CT7001 an orally bio-available Cyclin-dependent Kinase 7 (CDK7) selective inhibitor, that has shown striking efficacy in multiple pre-clinical cancer models.
Elaine Sullivan, chief executive of Carrick Therapeutics, said:
We are excited by the potential of CT7001 to make a major difference in cancer treatment, and intend to rapidly progress CT7001 through clinical development and bring this promising new medicine to patients as quickly as possible. This is a significant achievement for Carrick to take a pre-clinical candidate to first patient dosed in less than two years.
CDK7 inhibition has emerged as a promising strategy in a range of cancer indications. CDK7 acts as a master regulator of transcription, as well as a regulator of the cell cycle through phosphorylation of members of the CDK family. Inhibition of CDK7 suppresses the expression of key oncogenes such as c-Myc.
CT7001 was found to be effective in pre-clinical models of breast cancer, both hormone receptor positive and triple-negative, and transcriptionally driven cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia and small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). All these cancers continue to have major unmet medical need, for example, very little progress has been made for decades in the treatment of SCLC and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Due to its differentiated mechanism, CT7001 is also predicted to be efficacious where resistance has developed to current therapies.
CT7001 originated from Cancer Research UK funded scientists at Imperial College London and was licensed to Carrick by the charitys Commercial Partnerships Team. Rapid subsequent preclinical development by the companys experienced research and development team has led to approval for the first-in-human Phase I study. Efficacy studies are planned to start in 2018.
Carrick Therapeutics was established with an initial funding round that saw it raise $95 million, and continues to build its portfolio through partnering. Significantly, whilst other companies bank on a single molecule or biological mechanism, Carrick will build a portfolio that targets multiple mechanisms that drive cancer. In close partnership with a network of clinicians and scientists in internationally leading research institutes and hospitals, the business will drive its portfolio of ground-breaking cancer therapies from laboratories to the clinic.
The funding of Carrick Therapeutics was co-led by ARCH Venture Partners and Woodford Investment Management, with participation from Cambridge Enterprise, Cambridge Innovation Capital, Evotec, GV (formerly Google Ventures), and Lightstone Ventures.

I just got my hands on a really beautiful Red, White and Blue Cranbarry. These pretty common European crosses were produced in the mid-1970s. Unfortunately, the original pocket is completely destroyed. So, let's do a renovation.
The stick comes to me from a boyfriend trying to do something nice for his girlfriend. She's a former high school player, who's about to become a coach. The Cranbarry sticks are originally from England, and they're widely renowned for their artificial gutwall. It's some of the first real quality artificial gutwall ever seen in the wood stick game up to that point.
As some as you know, that's not my bag, so I went ahead and put in a traditional organic gutwall. Funny enough, I actually took the stick back a level in its technology. The frame was in great shape and the sticker even held up really well for all these years. There wasn't much left to do, so I finished it off by stringing a very traditional for Cranbarry red, white and blue pocket.
I always found it funny that an English company chose to sell a red, white and blue stick to Americans, but they turned out to be correct, because everyone used these sticks.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to work on this project. I loved bringing this thing back, and I don't get to do a lot of color-schemed pockets.

A common misconception is that one form of lacrosse came from the another. There are multiple distinct forms of the game played in different geographical areas.

Note: The following speech was written and read by Gina Nicholas, Keweenaw County citizen and chairperson of the Houghton Keweenaw Conservation District, speaking on behalf of the core partners at the Brockway Mountain Summit dedication on August 13, 2013. The core partners were Ed Kisiel and later Rich Probst, Eagle Harbor Township supervisors; Doug Sherk, Eagle Harbor Township Parks Committee; Dana Richter, Copper Country Audubon; Evan McDonald, Keweenaw Land Trust; Jeff Knoop, The Nature Conservancy; and Gina Nicholas, Houghton Keweenaw Conservation District.*
By Gina Nicholas
The Brockway Mountain story combines the ancient tale of Mother Nature's wondrous creation with the recent one of how farsighted individuals, the community and many working together can serve the needs of society and protect the beauty and integrity of the natural world.
A billion years ago, shifting plates crashed together creating a rift fault with deep cracks in the earth's crust. A series of lava flows emerged and formed the Lake Superior basin from Isle Royale to the Keweenaw Peninsula. Eons of geologic events, glaciers, time and weather sculpted this coastal ridge of which Brockway Mountain is a part.
This topography of basalt, conglomerate and sandstone is the canvas for the mosaic of native habitats you see from where we stand. Flora and fauna evolved over time and thousands of native plant and animal species call these forests, balds and wetlands home. The Peninsula's position as a bony finger of land jutting into Lake Superior also make this Keweenaw Coastal Wildlife Corridor important to migratory species -- raptors, water fowl, passerines, bats and insects.

Ancient Native Americans, and later the Anishinaabe, used the land lightly for its abundance of wild berries and game. They discovered the red metal copper and used it for tools and trade. Hundreds of years later the United States formed and its pioneers moved beyond the eastern seaboard. Horace Greeley said, "Go west young man, go west." While some thought he meant the California Gold Rush, he was really talking about the UP for Copper. Keweenaw County's highest mountain visible to the southwest was named for Greeley.
In the 1840s Douglass Houghton and other geologists explored and documented the mineral riches of the Keweenaw. Mt. Houghton, just visible to the southeast, was named after Houghton, Michigan's first State Geologist.
Miners and settlers followed including Daniel and Lucena Brockway. Brockway was a mine agent at Cliff, a business man, served as a postmaster, road commissioner and opened the first school in Copper Harbor. At that time, Keweenaw County was the heart of the Copper Boom.
By the early 1900s mines at Quincy and Calumet and Hecla had supplanted the earlier mines on the north end.
A new industry -- tourism -- was emerging. The National Park System, urbanization, the loss of wilderness and mass-production of affordable automobiles all contributed to scenic road trips becoming the popular family vacations. Michigan, rich with beautiful natural features, established public beaches, campgrounds and wilderness areas. Landscape architect Warren H. Manning is credited with first suggesting a scenic drive along this ridge in the 1920s.
The Great Depression hit in 1929 and miners and many others were out of work. These men had hungry families to support, and federal efforts to create a safety net were mired in political wrangling.
The Keweenaw County Road Commission -- Ocha Potter, William Hartman and William Bolley and engineer Clem Veale -- took the lead in organizing a local project that would give many productive work and build something of lasting benefit for the community. Manning's concept to build a scenic highway along this coastal rocky ridge was resurrected in 1932. Construction began in 1933. This road was built by the manual labor of many men. Road Commission employment increased -- from about 70 to 700 -- to give meaningful work to as many as possible. Although the rock walls came later, the road itself was completed in October 1933 and named "Brockway Mountain Drive." While the builders' names are long forgotten, their work -- Brockway Mountain Drive -- is here for the benefit of all of us today. Our project was possible only because of theirs.

During 1934-35, Harold Wescoat purchased the 320-acre summit and built the original "Skytop Inn." Brockway Mountain has been in the Wescoat family for three, going on four, generations, and, although private land, has always been open to the public.
Clyde and Lloyd Wescoat had foresight and realized how important Brockway Mountain was to the community and the environment. In 2010, rather than sell to developers who would subdivide and alter the land, Clyde called The Nature Conservancy. TNC knew this should be a local project, so Jeff Knoop called together the locals -- a.k.a core team: Eagle Harbor Township, Keweenaw Land Trust, Copper Country Audubon and the Houghton Keweenaw Conservation District -- to find a way to permanently protect Brockway Mountain.
The Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund Grant was identified. Ed Kisiel, former township supervisor, led the successful grant proposal effort.**
However, the Trust Fund grant required a 25 percent local match. The core team, with help from Houghton to Copper Harbor and across the State, got the word out that donations were needed to Save Brockway Mountain. Hundreds and hundreds of people -- from local areas, Michigan, most states and even foreign countries -- sent donations, wrote articles, told friends, penned thank you notes, filled out forms, documented history and geology, took photographs, did the legal work pro bono and made contributions in uncountable ways. The project started in late 2010 and Brockway Mountain summit was acquired by Eagle Harbor Township in February 2013.

Just like the many that built Brockway Mountain Drive 80 years ago this year, we also worked together and got the job done. The summit of Brockway Mountain is permanently protected. Our names may be forgotten, but our work will stand for future generations to enjoy thanks to all of you!
My hope is that 80 years from now our grandchildren, great-grandchildren and others will be here to take in the views of Lake Superior and the Keweenaw Coastal Wildlife Corridor, to see the constellations, Milky Way and the Northern Lights in the night sky, to count raptors flying down the valley as they rise on the updrafts, and to enjoy this unique, beautiful and ecologically rich place called Brockway Mountain. I also hope that our heirs continue the Keweenaw legacy of farsighted conservation for the benefit of man and nature.

Change, for better or worse, has been the operative word at Yahoo since Marissa Mayer took over as CEO a little over a year ago. From eliminating telecommuting to a new-look homepage to a redesigned logo, there has been no shortage of critical reactions along the way. As Yahoo gets ready to announce its quarterly earnings later today, three of its most recent changes are garnering, in respective order, grumbling, outrage and — perhaps, finally — a small cheer.
Better than nothing (grumble grumble): In a significant security upgrade, Yahoo will enable SSL encryption as a default option to all its email users in January, the Washington Post reports. SSL has been an optional setting for Yahoo Mail users since the beginning of the year.
The added layer of security will be noticeable to users by the "https" prefix in the URL. While privacy experts welcomed the move, criticism remained that Yahoo was late to the game. Google added SSL encryption as a default to to Gmail in 2010, for example, and since then it has also become the default for Microsoft's Outlook and Facebook.
Last November, 26 groups — including the ACLU, Electronics Frontiers Foundation and Reporters Without Borders — urged Yahoo to implement SSL to protect its users' privacy and security. Now it may be a case of too little, too late. The NSA has reportedly already broken SSL, and Google and Facebook are moving on to deeper levels of encryption.
"It is unfortunate that it has taken Yahoo four years to do what Google was able to do in 2010: deploy HTTPS encryption, for all users, by default," Christopher Soghoian of the ACLU told the Post. "Yahoo's glacial progress on this issue has been a gift to intelligence agencies around the world, who have been able to perform massive, dragnet-surveillance of Yahoo users' unprotected emails."
Update: Yahoo Mail will be improving upon SSL as well. According to a Yahoo spokesperson: "In addition to making https a default feature by January 2014 for all Yahoo Mail users, we plan to implement 2048-bit encryption keys, which will provide our users with a further layer of security."
Outright outrage: A furor has erupted from Yahoo Mail users upset with the service's new look.
Launched last week, the redesign gives the inbox a stripped-down look more akin to Gmail, with message threads and a cleaner design. But frustrated users have been vocal in their criticism over essential features that have been removed or hidden from plain sight, flooding Yahoo support message boards with tens of thousands of complaints. Among them: No more tabs feature, new emails are not boldfaced and the print button is missing. ZDNet reports there have also been numerous technical complaints about autosave malfunctions, SSL failure and accidental deletions of contacts and emails.
"I want my old email back," one user posted. "Quit changing things."
Other complaints ranged from the impassioned ("You don't need to force this abomination on your users") to the logical: ("There is a reason those in this forum use Yahoo and not Gmail. It is based on a difference in thinking how best to design webmail for both the casual and power user. . . . This is a major issue that determines the usability of the product.")
While many commenters threatened to leave Yahoo Mail, it's unclear where they would turn, since many of their posts deride Gmail and Outlook, the only other major free email services. Yahoo has yet to address the problems, ZDNet reports, other than a generic referral to its Help page.
Can we all agree this is good?: Meanwhile, Yahoo today unveiled a new look to its Flickr photo-sharing service. A more radical look was unveiled in May, again spurring many complaints, but this newest tweak appears more benign.
The redesign, which is now in beta and will be released later this year, includes larger pictures, less clutter and faster page-load speeds. "You'll see more pixels, get a cleaner view without any elements on the top or the bottom of the screen, so that photos can really be the center point," Flickr said in a blog post.
"Looks very nice," one commenter said.
At this rate, Yahoo may settle for that as a ringing endorsement.

October 13, 2014 "Indigenous Peoples Day"
Fantastic overview of the event of the 400 year anniversary of the Two Row Wampum treaty between the Dutch and the Haudenosaunee ("People of the Longhouse") in 2013 when the canoe journey from Onondaga in central upstate New York to the city of New York to the shore of the United Nations to bring the original message of peace and partnership as brothers "together side by side in the river of life, each not in the way of the other or their governance." It is the first treaty, signified by the wampum belt and a living record of the event, made with the indigenous peoples of this East Coast region with the European settlers in 1613. Many other treaties followed, in similar fashion with other governments such as the French, British, Spanish, and, of course, the United States.
The government of the Haudenosaunee, otherwise known as the Six Nations (Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora), is one the longest standing participatory democracies in the world and the blueprint of the government of the United States of America respected and observed by men like Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. The Treaty of Canandaigua, between the Haudenosaunee and the United States, in 1794 was commissioned by George Washington to memorialize the treaty in wampum as part of the "Peace and Friendship" treaties. The message is that it is time to recognize that relationship of sovereign brotherhood and respect with both Indigenous and European Americans, as well as to honoring the Earth and taking responsibility to take care of it again, to restore both peace and friendship.
