B.C. celebrates B.C. Beef

“BC Beef Day celebrates the superior quality and flavour of 100% BC Beef, the product of cattle raised in our province’s renowned agricultural regions and processed locally in our communities,” said BC Association of Abattoirs president, Mike Noullett.

In 2013, the BC cattle industry raised and marketed more than 246,000 head of cattle and calves, generating farm cash receipts of almost $208 million. The Thompson-Okanagan, Cariboo, Nechako and Peace River regions are the top beef-producing regions in the province.

The brand, 100% BC Beef, comes from cattle that were born, raised, fed and processed entirely in British Columbia. Every product with the 100% BC Beef logo has been assessed by the BC Meats Quality Information System, and has been rated top quality. By making the choice to purchase 100% BC Beef, consumers are choosing to support local farmers, sustainable agriculture and the B.C. economy, as well as eating high quality, humanely raised beef.

This year, the BC Breeder and Feeder Association, BC government, BC Cattlemen’s Association, BC Association of Cattle Feeders and the BC Association of Abattoirs, enjoyed 100% BC Beef from Vancouver Island. The beef was produced and processed by Courtenay area family businesses.

“After over a decade of challenging times, the beef industry is strengthening and growing in B.C. It is now more important than ever for government and industry to work together as we rebuild a strong and sustainable B.C. beef industry for our consumers,” said Larry Fossum, BC Cattlemen’s Association president.

Empowering parents to take control of their child's education.

When it comes to your child’s education are you:

Feeling like you are swimming upstream?
Frustrated by a lack of concrete answers to your questions and concerns?
Feeling helpless as you watch your child struggle?
Lying awake worried about your child’s academic future?
Thinking there has got to be a better way to educate your children?

The Engaged Educators Team Is Here For You and Your Child

Our Team of Skilled and Engaged Educators Offer the Following:

Free reading assessments
In – depth skill assessments in both reading and math
One on One programs
The NAS Project (customized private education)
Workshops for parents

  • We had spent thousands of dollars trying to fix our daughter’s reading problem with little results; so we were very skeptical. It was wonderful to know that an actual specialist was testing our child, to find the underlying problem. With guaranteed results we had nothing to lose. In a matter of weeks , the change in our daughter was huge. I would not hesitate to recommend them to other parents; in fact I am their number one fan!

    Faith W.
  • Thanks to you, the huge void in the school system has been filled!

    Daniel M.
  • We struggled for years (8) with our daughter, teachers, tutors and special classes. After 10 weeks it's as if there never had been a disability. Lani and her team has exceeded our expectations.

    Cathie G.
  • Lani, the principal called from my child’s school the other day. She said she was most impressed with her conversation with you and the amount of support you are offering for my child. I have only one thing to say to you, THANK YOU. Lani you have been the answer to my prayers. Thank you for believing in my son as much as I do.
 Just thank you.

    Dana A.
  • This is a very safe and supportive place to guide and nurture a child as they fill in those "learning gaps" created by, but not always dealt with, our education system.

    Trish D.
  • After spending the equivalent of 2 years university tuition on other programs to help our youngest son, with no success, Lani and her team lived up to their promise and I recently attended my sons Grade 12 graduation. He completed all university required courses and not the supplemental courses recommended by the school. Thank you, for giving my son unlimited scholastic options in his future.

    G. T.
  • Our son hated reading, he got through to grade 5 a below average student in reading. Engaged Educators (formerly Beacon) has turned his whole life around, he loves to read, has a lot more confidence and his self-esteem has improved. If it wasn’t for Lani and her team helping our son, he would never have experienced how much fun reading really is. Thank you so much.

    Kathy A.
  • Lani, I get great reports from parents whose kids you have helped - most appreciative - I am suggesting you to my associates & all parents as the only place to go - it is worth the money for the self esteem of your child!

    Dr. Diana Monea (optometrist in Calgary)
  • You have literally changed the course of both our daughters' and our family’s lives. Everyone was so nice and accommodating and the fact that you feel wanted, a genuine desire to help children (and adults) be better at who they are is so cool. Thank you. My daughter is in grade 3 and since the middle of grade 1 she had struggled. As a parent I would suggest to any other parent that if you think something is wrong go with your instincts, you know your child better than anyone. Bring them to see you for the free assessment. It will either confirm your suspicions or calm your concerns. At the beginning of grade 3 she could hardly read now she actually sits down on her own and writes stories for fun! Thank you.

    Kelly-Ann P.
  • Coming to you for help was the best thing we could have done for our daughter. She couldn’t read even the simplest book and now she’s reading everything and loving it. Being able to do the lessons in French was an added bonus, as help for kids in French Immersion is difficult to find. Thanks Lani and her team.

    Caroline S.
  • The rough seas are behind us now. Thank-you for all you do, thank-you for all you are, and thank-you most of all for all you have helped our daughter become. Words are not enough.

    Trudy R.
  • My son's self-esteem and confidence went through the roof. It was just amazing! I think this is a fabulous program.

    Christy O.
  • Our daughter’s confidence has grown so much with reading & writing as well with her classmates.

    Robbie L.
  • Allowed our daughter to learn at her own pace, build confidence and really paid off on school results.

What is the main conflict of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer"?

Tom Sawyer's main conflict is his conflict between his self-interests and what is the right thing to do.

In his afterword to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, a novel about a young boy who "overflows" with the exuberance of life, ignorance of responsibility, and mischievousness, Geoffrey Sanborn writes that Mark Twain composed a tribute to "the free, unscarred, unsmitten nature" of childhood. In fact, Sanborn points out, Twain himself admitted that he was captivated by youthful pleasures. Sanborn states that when he published his book, Twain wrote in his epilogue that his novel was "strictly the history of a boy."

Tom's boyish adventures are delightful. He is mischievous and plays tricks on the other children; for instance, he fools the neighborhood boys into whitewashing the fence for him, and he trades for tickets while at Sunday school so that he can have enough to win a Bible, whose verses he does not even know. However, as the narrative progresses, Tom's adventures become less frivolous. In Chapter 10, for example, after Tom and Huck Finn witness the murder of Dr. Robinson by Injun Joe, they vow to be silent. Unaware that Injun Joe plans for Muff Potter to be blamed for his crime since Potter's knife is in the body of the doctor, Tom and Huck make a blood oath not to reveal what they saw out of fear for their own lives. But, when Tom learns that Potter is arrested for the murder of Dr. Robinson, his conscience torments him for not having reported the truth about the murder. It is at this point that Tom faces a conflict of his own selfish interests against what is right. Because of this guilt, Tom sneaks off to Potter's jail cell in order to bring the man small gifts.

In Chapter 13 Tom joins Huck and Joe Harper on a raft, and they pole their way to Jackson's Island. After trading tales and eating, the boys lie down to sleep.

Then at once they reached and hovered upon the imminent verge of sleep--but an intruder came, now, that would not "down." It was conscience. They began to feel a vague fear that they had been doing wrong to run away; and next they thought of the stolen meat, and then the real torture came. They tried to argue it away by reminding conscience that they had purloined sweetmeats and apples scores of times, but conscience was not to be appeased by such thin possibilities. (Ch.13)

As a consequence of this "intruder," the boys resolve that “their piracy should not again be sullied with the crime of stealing.” It is at this point, therefore, that Tom starts to develop his moral conscience and begins to mature. Nevertheless, Joe, Tom, and Huck do not return as they should. So, when their raft is found, the townspeople naturally assume that the boys have died. After learning what has occurred, Tom convinces the other boys to all appear at their funeral. When they do so, they are met with much rejoicing, and the boys delight in the attention. Later, at the trial of Muff Potter, Tom testifies that he witnessed Injun Joe commit the murder of Dr. Robinson. This testimony demonstrates Tom Sawyer's maturation as he has done the right thing.

dymatsuoka eNotes educator| Certified Educator

The main conflict is the clash between Tom's imaginative vision of the world and the adult world as it really is.

Tom's elaborate, creative adventures (pirates, treasure hunters, robbers) and pranks (tricking the boys into paying him to paint the fence, bartering for proof of memorized Bible verses) place him at constant odds with the adult world, and he is not above lying audaciously to get out of trouble either.  The fact that Tom does have a conscience and a good heart only adds to the conflict he experiences.  On the one hand, Tom wishes he could be like Huck, who lives without rules because he is on his own, yet at the same time Tom realizes that it is a sad thing that Huck has no one to love him.  Although Tom's exploits get him into a lot of trouble, when it really counts (worrying Aunt Polly by disappearing on his pirate adventure, letting the wrong man take the blame for Dr. Robinson's murder), Tom chooses to do what he knows is right.

slchanmo1885 eNotes educator| Certified Educator

The conflict in "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" is the Tom and Huck's struggle with Injun Joe over the treasure. The climax, which can be considered the most interesting or most exciting part of the story, is when Tom has a close encounter with Injun Joe when he is lost in the cave with Becky. During this part of the story, Tom and Becky are lost in the cave, their supplies have run out, and it seems as though they might die there, with no way out, no light, and no food. Then, to even further the excitement, they hear Injun Joe, who wants to kill them, in the caves and they are almost caught. There seems to be no way to resolve the problem, when luckily, Tom discovers a way out.

A Sentimental Journey: Memoirs, 1917-1922 Summary

Viktor Shklovsky

(Literary Essentials: World Fiction)

A Sentimental Journey is a novel difficult to describe or categorize. Its narrative line emerges only in discontinuous episodes, memories, character studies, and literary discussions. Yet the cumulative effect of these separate pieces communicates in very personal terms the sweep of events in the revolutions and civil war bringing the Soviet Union into being. The novel is a literary experiment growing out of the commitment of Viktor Shklovsky and other Russian Formalist literary critics to the renewal of Russian prose in the first quarter of the twentieth century. Shklovsky calls the work “memoirs,” but he shapes these memories of World War I, the February and October Revolutions, and civil war as he would a novel, though no conventional novel. The title is an ironic reference to Laurence Sterne’s eighteenth century English novel, A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy (1768); previously, Shklovsky had published a celebrated analysis of Sterne’s Tristram Shandy (1759-1767). The episodic structure and self-conscious narrative devices of Sterne’s works had excited Shklovsky in his search for ways to make a fresh start in the Russian novel. Sterne’s eccentric and leisurely commentary on his casual travels in Europe is a far cry, however, from the hair-raising history which Shklovsky offers with acute objectivity and tragic irony.

New times bring the need for new forms: Shklovsky’s memoirs make of his experience “a case study for posterity,” as he describes his aim. He communicates events sifted through his own consciousness just as a realistic novelist might do, but he organizes his material using radically different unifying devices.

The novel is in two parts: “Revolution and the Front” and “Writing Desk.” The first part recounts in intensive detail the coming of the February Revolution among soldiers in the armored division in which Shklovsky served; the effort of the Provisional Government under Aleksandr Kerenski to continue the war; the Kornilov revolt; and the Russian army in Persia and its wasteful withdrawal. Shklovsky is an active participant in each of these military undertakings. Part 2 describes, after the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks, Shklovsky’s efforts to support the constitutional government of the February Revolution, first in Petrograd and then in German-held Ukraine, and afterward his joining the Reds to fight the White General Wrangel’s attempt to restore the czar. Both parts also present personalities and activities of the Futurists and the Serapion Brothers, Shklovsky’s literary friends and students. The groups present themselves as creative and human in contrast to the inhumanity of the surrounding violence and death. Episodes follow depicting the deprivation of life in civil war Petrograd.

EQIRA: Empirical and Quantitative Investment Research and Analysis

Hedge Funds Weekly: September 14, 2015

The following is an excerpt from our Hedge Funds Weekly report, which is available in the clients section. If you are not yet a client, please request access.

Hedge Fund Performance

Our factor-based estimates project that hedge funds gained 0.43% last week as long equity exposure nearly erased hedge funds’ month-to-date losses. Our factor-attribution analysis indicates that equity beta contributed 0.53% towards total return, which was sufficient to overcome seven basis points of lost alpha. Hedge funds’ collective month-to-date and year-to-date performance now stands at -0.05% and +0.77%, respectively.

Global Benchmarks

Equities globally were strong last week. Domestically, every style and sector posted gains, except for energy, which fell along with oil and other energy commodities. MLPs continued their long slide downward, losing an additional 4.17%. They are now down 21.56% for the year, one of our worst performing benchmarks. Real estate performed well, adding 2.22% globally and 2.54% domestically. Agricultural commodities and base metals diverged from other commodities, gaining 2.73% and 3.46%, respectively.

Oil (-3.17%) and energy commodities (-2.69%) were among our worst performing benchmarks. Joining them were gold (-1.61%) and precious metals (-1.39%). Domestic bonds finished the week down modestly, while foreign bonds rode currency gains to positive performance.

All of our multi-asset class benchmarks rose. Our global 60/40 and risk parity indexes added 1.28% and 1.66%, respectively. The US versions fared slightly worse, gaining only 1.19% and 1.05%.

Market Factors

Note: we report factor performance using excess returns risk-adjusted to an expected annual standard deviation of 10%.

Short volatility and variance factors returned to profitability after suffering through multiple weeks of steep decline. Short uncapped US equity variance added 3.05% to finish as our best performing market factor. Put and buy writing added 2.05% and 2.00%, respectively.

Commodity beta, oil, and gold were all losers, but medium term momentum and term structure strategies each added in excess of 1%. Investment grade credit underperformed, but high yield relative to investment grade gained 1.02%.

Equities were mixed. Equity beta rallied 1.35%, but most sectors underperformed the broader market. MLPs severely underperformed REITs, losing 2.82%. The spread was our worst performing market factor for the week. As with commodities, medium term momentum strategies worked well.

US Treasuries underperformed across the term structure, but non-government fixed income spreads gained, as did foreign developed government bonds, which were aided by a 0.68% gain in foreign currencies relative to the US dollar.

Foreign exchange strategies performed weakly. FX carry lost 0.44%, momentum lost 0.47%, and value lost 1.91%.

Multi-asset class momentum and trend following strategies were also weak, with one-month momentum declining 1.96% and our aggregate trend following factor losing 1.16%.

Also notable was the underperformance of foreign real estate, which lost 1.15% relative to US real estate and 1.79% relative to foreign equities.

August 2015 Estimate Review

The indexes underlying our hedge fund composite indexes have begun reporting returns for August, which allows us to begin assessing the performance of our end-of-month estimates.

As currently stands, we have correctly predicted the direction of 29 of 30 strategies. Nine estimates are within 25 basis points of the true index return; seven more are within 50 basis points. While our hit rate is above average, our accuracy is a bit below average. This is not too surprising, however, given the volatility and magnitude of last month’s returns.

Our initial estimate for our broad hedge fund index return differs from the current estimate by only seven basis points, which is quite good considering the size of the return. Thus far, we have overestimated performance in 14 strategies, most significantly in Emerging Asia (1.37%), Equity Value (1.11%), and Special Situations (1.11%), and underestimated performance in 16, most significantly in Healthcare (1.60%) and Energy (1.38%).

Overall, our forecasts have resulted in a 92% reduction in variance relative to naïve forecasts of flat returns. The reduction is greater than normal, but again somewhat expected due to the size of the month’s returns.

It thus far appears that we may again see an unusually high divergence in strategy returns between index providers. The current spread between the highest and lowest return in Equity Short-Bias, for example, is a stunningly high 11.21%. The spread is a strong argument in favor of using composite indexes of indexes to evaluate hedge fund returns.

Friday movie roundup – March 6

There’s only one movie to round up this week, an under-the-radar documentary called “Watchmen,” about a Swiss family of watchmakers.

No! I kid! It’s about superheroes murdering people!

I hope no one wanders into this thing thinking it’s a regular ol’ comic book movie. It’s a hard-R-rated drama with less action than you’d think, and more sex, nudity, and brutal violence than you’d think. It is not for kids! Do not bring your kids, you stupid parents.

That’s all we have this weekend. The rival studios didn’t scheduled anything to compete with “Watchmen,” and I don’t have any indie stuff to review at the moment. Have you seen that “Slumdog Millionaire” yet? I heard it was pretty good.

Frances McDormand's Alleged Oscar Thief Charged With Felony Grand Theft

Terry Bryant has been charged.

The man who is alleged to have stolen Frances McDormand's Best Actress Oscar statuette for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri was charged with one felony count of grand theft of property exceeding $950 on Tuesday, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office tells ET.

A public information officer for the L.A. County District Attorney’s office told ET that Bryant pleaded not guilty on Wednesday afternoon and will return to court on March 28. His bail, which was originally requested at $20,000, was reduced to $0, and Bryant was granted release on his own recognizance (OR), meaning that no bail money is paid to the court and no bond is posted after the suspect promises in writing to show up for all future court appearances.

As of Wednesday afternoon, ET could confirm that Bryant's bail had been reduced to $0, but the court record did not yet show that he had been released.

Bryant, who prosecutors allege was seen taking McDormand's award at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Governors Ball on Sunday night, faces a maximum sentence of three years in county jail if convicted as charged. The case remains under investigation by the LAPD.

On Tuesday, one of Bryant’s extended family members, who asked not to be identified, told ET that he was saddened to hear the news of Bryant’s arrest.

“I don't know if it was because he wanted attention,” the family member said. “I pray that he learns his lesson and I pray that he'll tell people he's sorry for what he's done and that he means it. That's where my heart is for him.”

“I want him to apologize to [McDormand]," the family member added. "I want him to apologize to the industry who has given him access. I want him to apologize to the family because we were looking up to him.”

The family member also stated that Bryant is a good person, and despite losing his parents at a young age, "wasn't a troubled man."

"He was involved in the church, trying to get his life together and refocus. And the sad thing, next thing I know, my wife told me about the news,” the relative said. "That hurt … I love that man. I’m just frustrated."

Nightmares Are Common But Underreported In US Military Personnel

A new study shows that a high percentage of military personnel with sleep disturbances met criteria for nightmare disorder, but few of them reported nightmares as a reason for sleep evaluation. Those with nightmare disorder had an increased risk of other sleep and mental health disorders.

Results show that 31 percent of military participants had clinically significant nightmares, and trauma-related nightmares occurred in 60 percent of them. Participants who met criteria for nightmare disorder were five times more likely to have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), four times more likely to have depression, three times more likely to have anxiety, and two times more likely to have insomnia. Despite their common presence, nightmares were reported as a sleep-related concern by only 3.9 percent of military personnel.

“This research provides a basis for furthering the study and knowledge of nightmares in survivors of traumatic experiences,” said principal investigator Dr. Jennifer Creamer, medical director of the Sleep Medicine Center at Martin Army Medical Center in Fort Benning, Georgia. “Treatment of nightmares can lead to improvement in sleep, quality of life, and other disorders such as suicidality.”

The study results are published in the March 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.

Nightmares are vivid, realistic and disturbing dreams typically involving threats to survival or security, which often evoke emotions of anxiety, fear or terror. A nightmare disorder may occur when repeated nightmares cause distress or impairment in social or occupational functioning.

According to the authors, this was the largest study to assess clinically significant nightmares in an active duty population referred for the evaluation of sleep disorders. The study involved 493 active duty U.S. military personnel. Participants had a mean age of 38 years, and 78.5 percent were men. Participants predominantly served in the Army (45.6 percent) and Air Force (45.2 percent); 9.2 percent served in the Navy/Marines. Approximately 74 percent of them had been deployed. Those with trauma-related nightmares were more likely to have traumatic brain injury, PTSD, anxiety and depression.

Nightmares beginning within three months of a trauma are present in up to 80 percent of patients with PTSD, and these post-traumatic nightmares may persist throughout life. Post-traumatic nightmares may take the form of a realistic reliving of a traumatic event or may depict only some of its elements or emotional content.

“Nightmare disorder is highly prevalent but under-recognized in military personnel with sleep disturbances,” said Creamer.

A best practice guide from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine indicates that treatment options for nightmare disorder include medications, most prominently prazosin. Several behavioral therapies also can be effective, such as image rehearsal therapy and other nightmare-focused cognitive behavioral therapy variants.

“Military personnel and health care providers require education that nightmares are not normal and there are treatments available,” added Creamer.

“JET is very important for the future when the fossil fuels are used up”

concluded Zheng Ze, one of twenty one distinguished Chinese students who visited Culham as part of a study tour to the UK. Zheng Ze and his colleagues are among China’s brightest science and engineering students – each of them had been the best of their province in their final science and engineering exams. Now they are studying a range of scientific and engineering disciplines at Beijing’s Tsinghua University, including electrical engineering, bioscience, mathematics, physics and computer science. Tsinghua University is often ranked as the first or second best university on mainland China in many national and international rankings.

CCFE head of communications, Chris Warrick, introduced the young visitors to fusion before they went on a tour of JET. Apart from the machine itself, the remote handling unit raised much interest: “The arm is so long, I’m amazed it never falls down” exclaimed Qui Fan.

“Our time at JET gave us enough motivation to pursue our dreams”

In July Azza Faiad from Egypt, prize winner in the European Union Contest for Young Scientists visited JET. Azza and seven colleagues were top-ranking students from a total of 87 science projects in 37 countries. EIROforum, the partnership among Europe’s eight largest international laboratories, awarded each winner a week’s stay at their institutions. Azza’s project explored the methods of reprocessing plastic waste into usable hydrocarbons using catalytic cracking.

Azza was accompanied by, Nourwanda Sourour, an eighth term Gas and Petrochemicals Engineering student, who also acted as mentor to Azza’s project. Freelance journalist Rasha Dewedar also joined the duo to report on their life-changing experience.

The three toured the various facilities at JET – had a go at the in-vessel training facility and took the opportunity to chat with researchers about their careers. “It is the first time that I have seen such a huge collaboration!” said Azza. “People from all over Europe work towards one goal, like one family.” About her meeting with JET scientist Joelle Vallory, Azza wrote in her report: “It was so inspiring to hear her story, she is an exceptional role model. On this visit, were given enough motivation to pursue our dream and believing that everything is possible and could be conducted by strong will and creative thinking.”

Living Above Our Means

piggy bank

My children spent the night with a friend the other day and came home feeling like they were part of the ‘have not' population.  Their friend had four 4-wheelers, a beautiful in-ground swimming pool complete with a slide and an attached hot tub, and not just a bedroom, but a huge playroom as well.  Their house was fancy and rich looking – with stone pillars at the driveway.  One look in their friend’s closet and they were instantly filled with jealousy about all the fancy, name brand clothes that their friend had. She also had a brand new Mustang convertible sitting in the garage, just waiting for the day that she turned 16. This makes no mention of the fact that every time they check Facebook, they are inundated with kids in their school taking fancy cruises and beach vacations – while our summer is spent in a backyard swimming pool.

Returning to our modest home probably felt like they had stepped off the train of fortune into a town of mediocrity.

Sadly, this is not the first time that my kids have felt this way.  As a stay-at-home parent of four children, my husband works his butt off for our family.  And, if I were to return to work – we too would be able to provide more of the luxuries for our children like their friends.  Yet, for us that was not an option.  With the kids involved in so many extracurricular activities and going to a school out of district it is mandatory that one parent is around to take care of the kids. Many of their higher income friends aren't able to play sports because their parents are at work, and the kids spend a lot of time alone because BOTH of their parents work in order to pay for all the extras in life.

According to a financial analyst, over 50% of the population lives above its means, owing nearly 67% of their monthly income to bills and financial obligations.  Additionally, most families have no savings built up because they are spending everything they make to live a lifestyle that has them ‘keeping up with the Jones' so to speak.  With the financial atmosphere in the United States so fragile, people are essentially robbing Peter to pay Paul just to afford lifestyle that in reality they cannot.

Unfortunately, this does eventually affect our kids.  When kids see other kids who seemingly have more, they don't necessarily understand the financial situation.  All they see is that someone else in their social circle has more, or is living better than them.

In my opinion, it is important for children to grow up without having every single thing they want.  I try to instill in my children that they need to work for the things they want in life, and I try to get them to appreciate the things (and time) they do receive.  At some point, they will become adults and they won't have everything they want.  There will be a time in life when they struggle, and are reduced to a Ramen noodle diet.  I feel if I give my children the perception that money is no object and that all of their wants and desires will be handed to them on a silver platter, they will end up disappointed as adults.

Even more than that – I want my children to be happy – with or without things.  I want them to be as happy with their above ground Walmart swimming pool as they are swimming in their friends fancy in-ground waterfall pool.  I want my kids to realize that their dad and I work hard to provide them with a good life, and that a good life is not contingent upon THINGS.

More than that, my husband and I believe in spending as much time with our kids as possible.  Now that I have two teenagers in the house, who will likely be fleeing the nest in 5 or so years – I am grateful to have had the opportunity to BE with my children.  I now know how fast time flies. While this means that I don't have fancy clothes and cannot buy myself the latest Vera Bradley bag – I am content with that.  And, I think my kids are too.

I don't believe that any of us should feel pressured to live above our means in order to fit in or be accepted.  I also don't think it is fair to judge another family for what they have (or don't have) and that happiness does not come with an income contingency.  For me and my family – we are content doing without some of the finer things in life to have these years to spend together.

 How do you work to keep your kids grounded and focused on the importance of family versus ‘things'?

Successful Social Housing Community Improvement Fund (SHCIF) projects – Case Studies

Across NSW, organisations have used the $20 million Social Housing Community Improvement Fund (SHCIF) to improve community facilities, enhance open spaces, improve safety, increase accessibility and bring tenants and their neighbours together.

As applications open for Round 3, we want to share some of the great projects that tenants and community groups have worked on so far, and pass on some details about who can apply and what projects we consider for funding.

New life in local parks

Project: McLeod Park upgrade
Organisation: Hawkesbury City Council
Location: South Windsor
Funding from the SHCIF: $50,000
Co-contribution from the recipient: $170,000

FACS contributed $50,000 to an overall $220,000 regeneration of McLeod Park in South Windsor. Hawkesbury City Council was able to use the money to make improvements to the park including new picnic shelters, seating, a bubbler and landscaping.

“The upgrades delivered under the SHCIF Project have resulted in the park being used by a number of local organisations on a weekly basis.” – Hawkesbury City Council

Creating vibrant hubs

Project: The Welcome Garden - Gawaymbanha
Organisation: Westside Community Centre Inc.
Location: Albury
Funding from the SHCIF: $14,044

The Welcome Garden (or Gawaymbanha, which means ‘Welcome’ in Wiradjuri) project is a major extension and renewal to a small existing community garden in Albury.

The Garden includes a community yarning circle consisting of a fire pit and seating.. The garden extension also provides a range of native bush produce, sustained by tanks and water systems installed using SHCIF grant money.

The project was designed, developed and delivered by community volunteers from local social housing, who were supported by after school groups, The Albury City Council  - Wagirra Trail program and Mutual Obligation programs. The Welcome Garden now forms a culturally appropriate meeting place where the local community can congregate for events such as NAIDOC celebrations and other events and also as an all access therapeutic garden space.

Brighter surroundings and closer communities

Project: The Urban Forest: Weave Youth Hallway & Foyers Art Project
Organisation: Weave Youth & Community Services in partnership with RedLink
Location: Redfern
Funding from the SHCIF: $49,350

Weave Youth & Community Services used funds from the SHCIF to employ a project worker and an arts worker, who collaborated with tenants at the McKell social housing building to reimagine their home and develop ideas on how to beautify the hallways. In consultation with residents the theme was developed and the project was named: The Urban Forrest Project.

A series of art workshops were held over 12 weeks to develop content in line with the theme. A part of the project also included photography and all residents were invited to get their individual and family portraits taken. All residents were gifted copies of their images and many expressed what a special experience it was for them to be involved in and felt very valued and respected.

Throughout the levels of the McKell complex, visitors and residents now bump into bright bird portraits, floral designs, tree trunks bound in lucid knits, and support beams swathed in fabrics.

The Urban Forrest has helped create a sense of pride, beauty and added colour and energy to the social housing complex.

Giving and getting back

Project: Shelter for Clifton Community Food Garden
Organisation: Clifton Community Food Garden Inc
: Wollongong
Funding from the SHCIF: $3,250

Using SHCIF grant funds, tradesmen from the local men’s shed built a shelter and meeting area at the Clifton Community Food Garden where members of the Shoalhaven community can join them to enjoy the garden and its produce.

Vegetables grown in the garden go to members of the community who need them most, and provide compelling and nutritious proof of the garden’s benefits to the local community.

“The new shelter enables our volunteers to work longer hours, producing more vegetables for the public. Vegetables are distributed to needy families, including social housing residents. With the garden now able to provide shelter, more residents will be willing to join.” – Clifton Community Food Garden Inc

More info

Applications open 9am Thursday 30 March, and close 5pm (AEST) on Wednesday 10 May 2017.

Non Essentials of Creationism

Posted by Matt Postiff January 5, 2011 on Matt Postiff's Blog under Creation

One of the main points of my talk at the Preserving the Truth Conference will be that there are certain "non negotiables" that must be believed for one to be a Young Earth Creationist. These are the sine qua nons or indispensable elements regarding the doctrine of creation. I will go over them in upcoming posts. In this post, I want to cover a number of items that are not necessary to believe regarding young earth creationism. They are:

  1. To believe in an exact age of the earth, “6,000 years”, or “Ussher’s Chronology”. Dogmatism on the precise age is not necessary as long as the age is “young.”
  2. To believe in the water vapor canopy theory.
  3. To believe that the second law of thermodynamics started at the Fall.
  4. To believe that the speed of light has changed or that the universe is a particular (small) size or that time dilation accounts for the appearance of age.
  5. To believe that radioactive half-lives have changed.
  6. To believe that angels were created at a particular point in the creation week.
  7. To believe that God only created fresh water and not salt water.
  8. To believe a particular view on the initial light source used during the first three days.
  9. To believe a particular identification of “evening and morning” in the six days.
  10. To know the answer of every possible question that may be raised about creationism.
  11. To abandon true science or be intellectually backward.

That is to say, you do not have to believe a certain way on these particular questions. Multiple answers or hypotheses are consistent with young earth creationism.

On the whole, I am a very sociable person and have a natural caring attitude and I would say I am very responsible.

Another of my personal qualities I would say is that I work well with others and part of a team. I am often told that I am considerate and helpful by my friends and family, this could be the effect of having one parent who is disabled which has caused me to think of the needs of others before myself from very young age.

My future career hopefully will involve working with children, I work very well with children and love looking after them and organizing activities for children to do, I love working with children because I think that I would learn a lot from them and they always have lots of energy and I love to see them happy and laughing and I hope that I could help them and teach them a lot, also it is something I just really enjoy and could never get bored of. I enjoy making others happy and solving personal problems of others. I look after my young cousins regularly which we all enjoy and is good experience for me. In December last year, I went on work experience to a Primary school in Bramley, Leeds. During my work experience I spent my time working in reception and year one, where I organised different activities and helped out in activities such as arts and crafts and encouraged the children to learn through play. Also I have recently completed a course in child care and peadiatric first aid and I am doing a course in Equality and Diversity.

In my spare time I enjoy many outdoor activities such as canoeing with friends, rollerblading and walking. I have been climbing at Leeds Wall for a number of years in the groups and with an instructor.
I also enjoy baking and arts and crafts, I spend a lot of my time baking different things for my friends and family.

Then place tea leaves into the strainer, pour hot water until leaves are covered and let it steep for a while. By tilting the Magisso Teacup the other way, tea doesn't get any stronger. Now tea is ready to be enjoyed while leaves in the strainer spread their natural fragrance.

Lawful Permanent Resident May Be Deported Over Decade Old Misdemeanor

A 55 year old woman who has lawfully lived in the United States since she was a baby is facing deportation based on a 2001 misdemeanor drug possession charge. ICE conducted a pre dawn raid on her home. She has lived her entire life in the United States and has no ties to Italy, her country of citizenship. Yet, she is subject to deportation based on an old minor criminal conviction. Read more here. Although there may be forms of relief available to her, this story illustrates the importance of taking every criminal charge seriously when you are not a U.S. citizen.

Why not use technonology in the debates?

Asked by hoosier_banana (824points) September 29th, 2008

Put up a big screen behind the candidates, or one on eachs’ podium, put the question on it, list points made, put tax graphs up, let(or force) the candidates argue their cases with visual aides.

Do you have any idea how much that would confuse McCain?!?!?

Technology and McCain dont go well together.

wundayatta's avatar

Great idea!

queenzboulevard's avatar

double true @chris

hoosier_banana's avatar

John can have Cindy’s help, it would be cute to see them working together. Or he can use old fashioned paper based charts. But he might have trouble dodging a question when it’s in bold block letters behind him.

gailcalled's avatar

People our age, (as I mistakely said in another question) need different glasses for close-up and wall screens. I took a course recently; ideas were on wall screen, computer screen was in front of me. It was bifocals off, reading glasses on, off, on the entire course. I learned almost nothing.

tWrex's avatar

I think that while it’s a good idea in theory it would be terrible in practice. It would mean that the debates would almost be pre-rehearsed otherwise you wouldn’t be able to prepare enough things thoroughly. Furthermore, can you imagine if something got hooked up to the net with that? I guarantee you that script kiddies galore would be trying to hammer at that. hell I’d probably take a poke at it. that’d be funny as hell! see my face in ascii behind them with a vote for Ron Paul above it.

augustlan's avatar

I like the idea of having the question on a screen. Answers would prove more problematic.

tWrex's avatar

The other problem is that then who can get into that system on the sides of the debaters? Let’s say it is a closed system, who’s to say that someone from the McCain or Obama camp doesn’t setup a honeypot and then reroute the traffic to make the questions appeal more to one candidate or another? Or they get the questions prematurely and can whisper into the ear of the candidate what’s coming up so they can write a note and prepare. The abuse inherent within computers would make me shy away from it even though I think it’d be sweet.

augustlan's avatar

Good points, tWrex.

hoosier_banana's avatar

I think the question behind them, and charts(that the candidates provide) for topics that are certain to come up would be a good start. If the host of the debate managed the content and the candidates had the opportunity to challenge, I think things could stay pretty fair.

Google has great app for opening up the debate to the public, not just asking questions, but voting for the questions you want asked. I love Google, again and again

gooch's avatar

Ability to use technology does not make one a great leader. My grandfather was a great leader and knew very little about technology. All nerds know technology and most would be horrible leaders of a country. I guess my point is it doesn’t prove that useful of a tool for off the cuff debate.

blastfamy's avatar

I agree with @gooch,

The president should know about leadership – and the majorly important issues. This is not to trivialize such immense issues as net neutrality and the like; but for someone to be as old as one of our candidates is, there should be no surprise that he is not hip on tech.

This is what advisors are for.

blastfamy's avatar

The one thing I have against tech in debates (as far as that Al Gore TV channel goes), is information overload. Random comments (often skewed to one particular side of a debate) seem neither fair nor helpful.

tWrex's avatar

Could you imagine twitter in the background, constantly updating? Like twistori . You’d see:
“I love Palin’s hot bod.”
“I hate seeing all these comments.”
“I believe McCain is older than Father Time.”
“I think Obama’s a dumbass.”
“I believe I can fly and it’d be great if the stock market would follow suit.”
“I feel like no one is answering the questions.”
“I wish they’d just SHUT UP already.”

i’m still trying to decide. i usually i go to kol nidre, stay up late with friends, get up early and go to morning services, sleep all afternoon, and wake up in time to go to neilah servies, then break the fast.

i think i usually bathe. i don’t take any special pleasure in it though.

this year i’m not so sure. i’ll definitely not participate in “worldly activities” like going to school or work, but beyond that…i just don’t feel…very yom kippur like… i don’t know. maybe i will be tomorrow afternoon. we’ll see

The Duggar Family to Visit Focus on the Family March 19

Colorado Springs, Colo. – Focus on the Family is hosting a "Meet the Duggars" family event on Saturday, March 19, during which people from the community can meet the stars of the TLC reality show, 19 Kids and Counting. The event will feature musical performances by the Duggar children and a presentation, Q&A and book signing with Jim Bob Duggar and his wife, Michelle.

The program will be held at the Focus on the Family Main Building at 1 p.m., followed by a  book signing in the Welcome Center from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are free, available on a first-come first-served basis, and can be picked up at the Focus Bookstore and Welcome Center beginning March 7.

"The Duggars are such a great example of how intentional parenting and lots of love result in a strong, thriving family," said Gary Schneeberger, Focus' vice president of communications. "We're eager to welcome the local community to Focus so they can engage with the Duggars and find a little encouragement as they raise their own families."

Unabashed Christians, the Duggars have used their fame to share the message that children are a blessing from the Lord and to promote debt-free living. In addition to their own show, which is currently in its fifth season, the Duggars have appeared on numerous national television shows and been featured in several media outlets, including The ViewThe Today ShowPeople Magazine and The New York Times.

The idea to film a segment of their TV show at Focus came from the Duggars themselves, Schneeberger said, since they are big fans of the ministry and have benefited from the resources it provides.

"I've spoken with Jim Bob several times, and each time he mentions what a blessing Focus has been to his family," Schneeberger said. "They are particularly big fans of our Adventures in Odyssey radio series for kids and the work we do advocating for families in the public-policy arena."

Jim Bob and Michelle live in Tontitown, Arkansas, with their 19 children – nine girls and ten boys: Joshua James, Jana Marie, John-David, Jill Michelle, Jessa Lauren, Jinger Nicole, Joseph Garrett, Josiah Matthew, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah Robert, Jeremiah Robert, Jason Michael, James Andrew, Justin Samuel, Jackson Levi, Johannah Faith, Jennifer Danielle, Jordyn-Grace Makiya and Josie Brooklyn.

How to Find the Perfect Training Shoe, According to Nike

Workout novices might think there’s little difference between a running shoe and a training shoe, but as the head of men’s training footwear at Nike, Greg Smith knows that’s not the case.

“We tend to see most people buying running shoes out of habit and to be their overall workout shoe when they run once or twice a week — but they’re spending much more time in the gym,” he explains. “It should be the other way around.”

The difference all comes down to how you move your feet...
