Parental Rights

Legal Representation to Protect Your Rights as a Parent

The Schneider Law Firm, P.C., represents clients in child custody, parental visitation and related legal matters.If you are a parent facing divorce and subsequent child custody and visitation determinations, or if you are an unmarried parent who is seeking custody or visitation rights, please contact our law office today to schedule a free initial consultation. Our experienced family law attorneys can help explain your visitation rights and your legal options.

What are my Rights as a Parent?

A child custody case in Texas typically involves designating one parent as the custodial/ “primary parent.” The child’s primary residence (typically used for determining school enrollment) is with the custodial parent. The other parent, the noncustodial parent, is ordered a possession schedule. The parent named primary will typically also be given the exclusive right to receive child support on behalf of the child, payable by the noncustodial parent. The primary parent does not necessarily get more time with the child. A parenting plan addressing child custody, possession and access will be established by the court, and will detail the visitation schedule granted to both parents. The needs and best interests of the child will be considered when determining this parenting plan.

Parent Rights and the Best Interest of the Children

Texas family law courts are tasked with determining the best interests of the child, and do not favor one parent over the other in legal issues involving children. Many are under the impression that mothers are favored in child custody proceedings. However, Texas courts aim to make determinations that benefit the child or children involved.

At the Schneider Law Firm, P.C., we have attorneys who represent both mothers and fathers in a range of family law matters affecting children. This includes a variety of cases, such as:

  • Child custody
  • Visitation
  • Child support
  • Paternity

We do not discriminate against mothers or fathers. We represent clients with the aim of working in the best interests of the child. To learn more about our approach, contact us online or call 817-755-1852 to schedule a free consultation.

Fathers’ Rights

Once the father’s identity has been legally established, he can pursue child custody and visitation rights, as well as other parental rights. This is often done through a paternity test when a child’s parents are unmarried. If the parties were married, there is a presumption of paternity. We have a thorough understanding of Texas paternity laws and how they apply to alleged fathers.

Mothers’ Rights

Our firm can provide legal assistance if you are a mother trying to prove the paternity of your child. Once the identity of the father has been legally established, you can seek child support payments and hold the father accountable for fulfilling parental obligations.

Contact an Attorney that will protect your Parental Rights

A child deserves to have both parents in their life. Our law firm can provide the legal resources necessary to establish a legal relationship between a father and child. To find out more about mothers’ and fathers’ rights, as well as our other practice areas contact us today. Our family law attorneys look forward to helping with your case.

Over time, the lives of parents and children change. A child custody and visitation plan that once worked for the family may no longer do so. In these cases, it may be necessary to modify the child custody plan. However, in Texas, it must be shown that a significant change in circumstances has occurred, which warrants a modification. Again, the best interests of the child involved will be considered.

If you are interested in learning more about your parenting rights and options, or the possibility of pursuing a modification of visitation, please contact our office today, call (817) 755-1852.

  • Great Lawyer in court and out

    Had a tough interstate custody case with my ex. Mike was awesome and made sure my kid end up here with me where he belonged. Highly recommend.

  • E. Jenkins

    In the summer of 2013 I found myself visiting multiple legal firms in the FTW area. I was searching for the perfect person and firm to represent me. I was filing for custody of my very young daughter. When I met Melissa Swan, I knew that my search was over. She immediately had a game plan and made me feel very secure. Anytime I had a question, Priscilla and Jason made sure that it was answered in a timely manner. We spent less than a year, and after it was all said and done, I have primary custody of my daughter. I would say hiring Ms. Swan and Schneider Law Firm was one of the smartest decisions I have ever made.

    E. Jenkins
  • B. Davis

    In 2012 I found myself looking for a lawyer. I found Schneider Law Firm. I went in for my consultation, and then met with Melissa Swan. Melissa is very understanding and handled my case with care.

    B. Davis
  • R. Carson

    My lawyer was Alison Porterfield she was the best thing that could have ever happened to my family during our custody battle. She was so proficient and caring.

    R. Carson
  • A. Hoover

    Absolutely the best law firm around when it comes to Family Law. I first came into contact with Melissa Swan in 2013 and I only wish our paths would have crossed way before. Melissa is outstanding and has been a total lifesaver for my daughter and myself. She, along with Priscilla and Laurie have gone above and beyond. I would highly recommend Melissa Swan.

    A. Hoover
  • K. Whitworth

    Bria Wallace represented me in a family case. I would and have recommended her to many friends who were or have been in the same situation as I was. She is very professional and honest. She helped me get the most precious thing back to me. Thank you Bria.

    K. Whitworth
  • N. Dood

    Melissa Swan was absolutely brilliant at handling a family law appeal judgement for me. Appeals in family court are VERY difficult, but she cared enough to really dig deep and make a bullet-proof appeal case and WINNING! Would highly recommend.

    N. Dood
  • K. Holloway

    Melissa swan did great ! Won our child custody case hands down. Rough start finding right attorneys but finished strong .Also won our child support case too ,in same case.

Review: Best Add-Ons For NASCAR On Kodi

Are you looking for the best add-ons for NASCAR on Kodi? NASCAR racing is an amazing and most-watched sport on US TV, second only to the National Football League. However, lots of Kodi users are wondering for methods to watch NASCAR racing within your favorite media player. Also, we searched the Kodi scene wondering for the best add-ons one can watch NASCAR races and other content.

Today, we’ll discuss what is NASCAR, where it’s at today, where it’s coming from, and who broadcasts it. Then, we’ll then explain you to the 5 best add-ons we’ve found to watch the content of NASCAR. We’ll display you how to install them, what about its cost, and what other amazing features or content they also have.

Use VPN To Stream Content:

Before we move into details about dealing with a repository going down, we should accept the security issue. After the crackdown clearly explain, copyright holders and their lawyers are getting more serious about the security or use of Kodi add-ons. After using add-ons for streaming or installing then you must be careful. It means anyone can track or monitor your activity, downloads, also reveal your identity. For this purpose Kodi users prefer VPN.

A virtual private network (or VPN) translates your data. It can then passes it to a private proxy server, where it is decoded and then sent back to its original destination labeled with a new IP address. Using a private connection and masked IP, no one tells about your identity.

Staying safe on the Wi-Fi is like many people are getting concerned about. While ISPs tracking and selling user information, governments notice citizens and hackers searching for any weakness they can exploit. This is also an issue when it comes to streaming videos using Kodi. The software set off red flags on all industry thanks to its many third-party add-ons that source pirated content. ISPs react by monitoring Kodi user traffic and also strangling download speeds.

The best VPN can helps to keep you safe on all the above threats. VPNs also encrypt chunks of data before they leave your device. However, making it impossible for anyone to take your identity or view what you’re installing. This base level of security is amazingly powerful for a lot of tasks. It includes breaking through censorship firewalls, accessing geo-restricted content, and making your portable devices safe on public Wi-Fi.

IPVanish VPN For Kodi

IPVanish knows very well what features Kodi users want most. Speed is the first priority. Also, the service delivers fast downloads to a wide network of more than 850 servers in various countries. No matter where you live, you’ll be able to log into a low-latency server for amazing speeds. Security is also key, that IPVanish addresses by locking down all data with 256-bit AES encryption. Also, it keeps your identity secure using DNS leak security and an automatic kill switch. IPVanish can make you safe and secure!

IPVanish’s includes the best features:

  • It is easy-to-use apps for Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, and iOS.
  • Zero-logging policy on all traffic for privacy.
  • Provides full access to all of Kodi’s add-ons.
  • Infinite downloads and no restrictions on speed.

IPVanish also offers a 7-day cash-back guarantee. It means you have a week to analyze it risk-free.

All You Need To Know -> NASCAR Racing

NASCAR stands for National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. It is an American family-owned business governing many stock car auto racing events.

Stock Car Racing Origins

The Stock Car term comes from the fact that only cars are available to the public for the race. Also, they can only be modified via parts available to the general public. All it begins in the 1930s during the prohibition era.

Eventually, drivers begin to race against each other. What begins as friendly challenges between moonshiners eventually progressed to organize or manage events in the early 1930s. The major issue stock car racing faced was the absence of a unified set of rules between tracks. When he (Bill France Sr.) realized that this was becoming an issue, he set out to become an organization with the intent to address that.

NASCAR is now high-performance racing machines that can bear a cosmetic similarity to any car one could purchase at a dealership. Together with improvements in car performance, many safety-oriented improvements were also made throughout the years.

Today, there are many different series or classes of races, each with different cars and specifications. Also, there even a series of pickup truck races. Each year, NASCAR sanctions over 1500 races at over 100 tracks in Canada and the US.

NASCAR On Cable TV & Broadcast

Today, the main NASCAR broadcasters races are FOX or NBC with about half of the NASCAR Monster Energy Cup races airing on every network. Their specialized sports channels NBCSN and Fox Sports often offer extra content like qualifying runs or practice.

NASCAR On Kodi -> NASCAR Racing Add-ons

Revved Up

Revved Up

The add-on Revved Up for Kodi is probably the only one to specialize in NASCAR racing. Also, it streams content from the official NASCAR YouTube page. Also, it includes recaps of all Xfinity Series races and Monster Energy Cup. But also it has full race replays of the two series, moving back to the 2016 season. Race replays are also available for days of airing on broadcast TV.

The major thing missing in this add-on is live NASCAR events. On YouTube, NASCAR streamed some of its races in the past but NASCAR never announced a clear policy on the subject. We also believe that whenever NASCAR streams live events, they will be available there.

Steps To Install Revved Up

Step 1:

Head over to the Kodi home screen, then tap the Settings icon (the little gear located at the top left of the screen) then tap File manager.

Step 2:

Double-tap Add Source, then tap <None> and on the screen that opens type in the path exactly as follows: then tap OK.

Step 3:

Move back to the Add source screen, tap the box at the bottom of the “Enter a name for this media source“, and then input noobsandnerds then tap OK to save the source.

Step 4:

Return back to the Kodi home screen, then tap Add-ons located at the left of the screen. Then, tap the Add-on browser icon.

Step 5:

Tap Install from zip file then tap the noobsandnerds source you’ve just added.

Step 6:

Then, tap to launch the repo installation and wait until the confirmation that the add-on is turned on located at the top right of your screen.

Step 7:

Tap Install from repository then tap on noobsandnerds Repository and then again Video add-ons.

Step 8:

Now locate and tap the Revved Up add-on then, on the next screen, simply tap the Install button under right.

Step 9:

All add-on and its dependencies will install, as confirmed by a text located at the top right of your screen.

The USTVnow add-on is one worth that you are looking at for TV content. As it takes the benefit of the fact that many American TV Channels stream their online content for free. As it includes channels like ABC, Fox, NBC, and CBS. The addon also offers both on-demand and live streams content across all types of different genres. It is not going to be displaying much in the way of premier content, but there are lots to enjoy nonetheless. And if you can pay a subscription fee, then there is also a premium service which makes even more US TV available.

Unfortunately, USTVNow can’t offer NBCSN, NBC, or Fox Sports. You can’t watch practice and qualifying runs. Also, USTVNow now includes NBC but it was recently erased and it’s impossible to know if it will ever return. Also, USTVNow channels are only available in standard definition with free service and the best image quality can certainly leave to be desired. However, premium upgrading for $19 a month for the coming three months, $29 a month after that will receive you HD quality and 24 channels but still no NBCSN, NBC, or Fox Sports.

Steps To Install USTVNow

The add-on USTVNow is an “official” Kodi add-on so it’s quite easy to install. Just follow these simple instructions.

Step 1:

Head over to the Kodi home screen, then tap Add-ons located at the left of the screen. then, tap the Add-on browser icon (the open box at the top left).

Step 2:

Tap Install from repository then chooses Kodi Add-n repository then again select Video add-ons.

Step 3:

Now locate and tap the USTVNow add-on then, on the other screen, tap the Install button located under right.

Step 4:

When you first use the add-on, you’ll need to enter your USTVNow username and password. Note that your account MUST use a password and NOT use Facebook or Google login for this add-on to work. Keep that in mind when creating your USTVNow account.

Other Amazing Features Of USTVNow

If you depend on your subscription level, USTVNow aslo includes either 6 or 24 various channels amongst the most popular.

PS Vue

PlayStation Vue of PS Vue is Sony’s that offers in Internet-based TV. Also, it replaces a satellite subscription or cable and it a paying service. You can also note that it is only available in the US. Their $39.99 Access plan offers 40 channels like NBC, NBCSN, Fox, and Fox Sports 1 so you can also watch any broadcasted NASCAR Content. It includes every Xfinity, Monster Energy, and Camping World Truck Series race, practice, plus qualifying, and display like NASCAR RaceDay.

For a bonus, PSVue also enables you to add any NASCAR series to your “favorite shows” list and have it automatically recorded and saved in the cloud for later viewing.

Just like the USTVNow add-on, the add-on PS Vue is a Kodi front-end to the PS Vue service. any channel that is added in your PS Vue subscription will also available within the add-on.

Installing PS Vue

Follow the steps to install PS Vue:

Step 1:

Head over to the Kodi home screen, then tap Add-ons located at the left of the screen. Next, tap the Add-on browser icon.

Step 2:

Tap Install from repository then tap Kodi Add-n repository and then again click on Video add-ons.

Step 3:

Now locate and tap the PS Vue add-on then, from the other screen, tap the Install button under right.

Step 4:

When you first initiate the add-on, just input enter your PS Vue password or username.

Other Features Of PS Vue

The service provides lots of specialized channels like HGTV or Discovery and also TBS, AMC, USA, or SyFy, to name a few. You can also opt for the complete package that has over 90 channels for $74.99 a month.

NBC Sports Live Extra

NBC Sports Live Extra

The service NBC Sports Live Extra is completely free but there’s a catch. You need to subscribe to a satellite provider or US cable and your channel lineup also includes the NBC. It is the official streaming service of NBC.

The Kodi add-on of a similar name can be used to watch some NASCAR content in the second half-season. Also, it includes the championship race or NASCAR playoffs.

Steps To Install NBC Sports Live Extra

Here’s another “official add-on” this one is very easy to install as the others.

Step 1:

Head over to the Kodi home screen, then tap on Add-ons located at the left of the screen. Then, tap the Add-on browser icon.

Step 2:

Also, tap on the Install from repository then choose the Kodi Add-n repository and then again Video add-ons.

Step 3:

Now locate and tap the NBC Sports Live Extra add-on then, on the other screen, tap the Install button under right.

It works without any login until you need to play the real content. When you, you’ll be reminded that you want to enable it. Just follow the on-screen steps or pop-ups. The process needs you to login to your satellite provider or cable.

Other Amazing Features

The add-on provides four sections, Live & Upcoming, FeaturedReplays, and Highlights. Every section is the best mixture of every sport carried by NBC. In fact, you’ll find different sports content there.

Fox Sports Go

Fox Sports Go

In 2013, Fox Sports Go launched and it can also be considered to be the brilliant streaming tool for watching live sports coverage online. However, currently, it works only within the US, so if you love sports but you live abroad, the service is unavailable.

Fox Sports Go (FSGO) is a streaming service that enables you to watch any televised sporting event without sitting in front of the TV. As it was launch in 2013, Fox Sports Go covered lots of significant events in sports.

It offers unrestricted access to an array of sports content. It includes important highlights or exclusive interviews. Many sports fans across America can use this tool. Also, it provides streaming from some necessary cable channels. It inlcudes Fox Sports 1 or 2 and Fox College Sports. You can then access NHL, NBA, and MLB games from regional networks. It means that you can’t miss an important match again.

Steps To Install Fox Sports Go

The process is quite similar to the earlier two add-ons. Just the name of the required add-on in the last step is quite different.

Step 1:

Head over the Kodi home screen, then tap on the Add-ons located at the left of the screen. Then, tap on the Add-on browser icon (the open box at the top left).

Step 2:

Tap Install from repository then tap Kodi Add-n repository and then click Video add-ons.

Step 3:

Now locate and tap the Fox Sports Go add-on then, on the other screen, tap the Install button under right.

Amazing Features Of Fox Sports Go

Quickly apply multiple formats in a Word document

Applying multiple formats throughout a document can be a tedious task. Bust the task with this easy-to-use keyboard shortcut.

I tend to think of styles in terms of entire documents, or even sections or paragraphs. Applying formats to individual words or phrases is often easier accomplished manually, usually as an afterthought, but only if you're applying the formats just once.

Repeating the manual process is inefficient. Fortunately, there’s a shortcut -- the Ctrl + Y keystroke combination. This shortcut remembers the last set of formats applied. By set, I mean multiple formats applied to a selection. There are two limitations with this shortcut:

  • The shortcut remembers only the last set of formats applied. That means you'll want to apply the set to every occurrence in the document, before starting a new formatting task.
  • You must apply the first set of formats using the Format dialog box. If you use icons on the Formatting toolbar, Word remembers only the last icon clicked. It can’t remember a set of formats applied via the toolbar icons.

To use the Ctrl + Y shortcut to quickly apply multiple formats, do the following:

  1. Select the first word or phrase.
  2. Choose Font from the Format menu.
  3. In the Font dialog box, select the appropriate formats.
  4. Click OK to close the dialog box and return to the document, where Word will have applied the specific formats to the previously selected text (step 1).
  5. Highlight the next word or phrase that you want to format and press  Ctrl + Y to apply the same formats chosen previously (step 3).
  6. Repeat step 5 until you're done applying that particular set of formats.

This shortcut is most useful when you’re in a position to apply multiple formats to an entire document -- usually after you’ve created the document and you’re reviewing it.

I know this review was done in 2011, so I understand that much has changed that would be included if done today. There are two clear top contenders today. E-sword is still near or at the top of this category. However, TheWord is also in that same spot today. E-sword is the best for the beginner or less serious student of the Bible. TheWord is best for the more serious or in-depth student of the Bible. Both have many modules and books to add and TheWord can be used as a portable program from a USB stick..

Online Bible is really far better than E-sword. At the very least, it deserves a mention in your list. Online Bible isn't the best name, I know, since it's a downloaded program, but it predates a time when "online" didn't necessarily mean on the internet (1995). It's updated regularly and available free at and most of the modules and study tools are free as well.

It's so much better than most other programs because you can scroll through the entire Bible (no three-click-process to change books); you can search and have all the verses *displayed with the text*, rather than a click-each-reference-to-see-what-it-said, allowing you to search very fast to find what you want; It has a simple and clean interface, and runs on a memory stick.

Wow, this section is bare! Here's some more good study software:

Bible Analyser ( ... installer and portable versions
TheWord ( ... installer, with option to install to USB
BPBible ( ... installer and portable versions (from

All of these are high-quality, actively-developed and have extra packages one can download.

Also an update: Davar4 comes in a zipped package now. Extras can still be added separately.

Please change your download for e-sword to the author's page as the other link is broken.

Thank you

An earlier comment suggested the product by Olive Tree, the software I use. And unlike e-Sword, it is also free for the iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, PDA's and other platforms. Also, all your resources will follow you if you have the program on several computers or handheld devices like I do. Note: the Olive Tree program may or may not be what you're looking for, but it's worth a try. It's not as powerful as The Word (mentioned below), probably the best (off-line) program if you study all the time, but it gets the job done. And is quite easy to use and navigate.

FOREVER SLAVE - Update From The Band

Spanish female fronted gothic metallers Forever Slave reported that they are finishing the recording of their new album. The last studio album from the band was in 2008 released Tales For Bad Girls. Here's what the band reported: "All our new songs are finished. We have arranged some of them while we are waiting for the recording. We hope to have a new album in 2013 or at least, we want to have everything ready for the release. We have delayed 2 years the recording, because this album should be ready in 2011, but that was very difficult for us with the crisis situation. I hope you understand these delays now. We are so sorry for that but we are doing everything that we can do at this moment. We would like to finish the recording and production of this album this year." Link

What does it mean to be a ‘ gentleman ‘ in modern culture?

My definition of a gentleman….

A gentleman keeps an overview, sees what is happening, and makes sure that the other (s), without the sight of the person (M/F), feel at home.

He does not condemn and assess.

Looks at everything with a friendly smile, listens, is modest and creates a snug environment for you in which you know you’re safe.

No tricks, no mannerisms from a booklet but a basic attitude that goes beyond keeping a single door open.He is the shepherd, a good house father and judge in one. Reliable and sacrifice-minded.

A gentleman focuses attention and energy entirely on you and stays in the background.You feel and know that he is there and enters the foreground when he deems it necessary. A gentleman does not recognize his appearance but of attitude and behaviour.

In my humble opinion, the classical characteristics of the gentleman, precisely in this modern increasingly superficial culture, have become even more relevant.

My husband likes to be a true gentleman and he loves to appreciate it.

It gives him confidence and he wants to show everyone that he loves me and how important I am to him. His ways often remind me of my grandfather. A very galante man.

On our first date my husband had taken butter hamlets for me.Really very cute. In the beginning his way of doing for me was very much getting used to. I am very much on myself and independent, also opinionated, I want to try it myself, because then I learn the fastest. Let him be the ‘ strong ‘ (according to society then), I found tricky, I am after all rete dominant, but in the end I thought to myself about who is this actually going?

This is his way of expressing his love to me.If I can’t appreciate that because I might seem weaker then, gee how far from home am I actually? So I’m just not able to accept love as it comes, then I’m not even worthy of his love.

At the time I accepted his love, I noticed that it did not make me weaker at all.Only stronger. Previously I had never expressed my love “my Way” to him (or whoever), by accepting him I could also accept myself and I also dared to be much more myself. That has made our relationship, but also us as an individual much stronger.

Eventually, gentleman is going to be mainly around manners.Previously, you learned those ways more, today a lot less and the number of men who behave naturally as a gentleman is rare. So I am very economical on my husband!

Chivalry is dead.

Maybe it’s age, but young men of my age (25) I don’t find so gentlemen-ish anymore.

Probably I am an old soul and people will think that I am disadvantaged or women are inferior.But that is not the case. I only get the jitters of some women who call themselves a feminist and do not act there altogether.

But I personally love it as men: keep the door open, pay the bill on a first date, not sit on their phone during a dinner, do not expect the first date sex, ask if I have safely come home, dress neatly at occasions etc.I can still continue.

But unfortunately, the use of social media will increasingly wipe out my ideal image.These are the open relationships. Ehh because of this, being a gentlemen for many men is also really low on the list come to fear I. A relationship but in addition 3 more? What a gentlemen.

In My imaging is a gentlemen also romantic?But maybe I’ve watched too many movies. That probably.

I don’t see how you are just being very polite to women that degrades you women or sees lower in some way.No, we are very capable. I can open the door myself first and pay the bill. In fact, men have often offended when I offered to pay. And I do like a masculine man. And I don’t mean The Rock. But men who know what they are doing and are attentive and can take care of you. People scare them when I say so. But I think almost all women want that. Someone who CAN take care of them. I can also take care of myself, but I also look for (also have) someone who can. It’s a win win situation for me:)

Do not entirely agree with Quora user in this case.
In my opinion, offering a jacket, opening a door or sliding a chair backwards does not mean that you are assessing a woman as weak.It means that you take as much account as possible the small thingies in whatever culture that may be and whether it is a woman “without or with crat skirt”. It also means that when a woman indicates that she is not happy with it (which I haven’t encountered yet), you then accept that opinion and try to adjust your behavior.

It’s mainly about trying to listen and do your best for her.But as far as I am concerned, a ‘ gentleman ‘ in modern culture seems as much as possible on a ‘ gentleman ‘ of the old culture. There wasn’t that much wrong with it though.

Addition for the ‘ gentleman ‘ of modern culture: don’t sit on your mobile during a date!

What it is not especially for me is to see women as weaker beings who, above all, have to be protected against everything and anything, because ‘ we men ‘ do so much better.It is not someone who considers women too weak to do their own coat, open a door or sit down in a restaurant.

The reason that a ‘ real gentleman ‘ had to do this dates back to the time of the hoop skirts, where women could indeed hardly have a door and needed help to sit down.But that time is far behind us.

A ‘ gentleman ‘ or ‘ gentlewoman ‘, is someone who-as the word suggests-‘ gentle ‘, is kind, gentle. But without losing themselves.Someone who stands up for what he or she is for, without hurting others.

Someone who supports others in the way that other person needs it, not the way in which he or she deems it necessary.

A very long time ago extinct kind of man.
For me, “gentlemen” on a door means WC.
In modern culture, the characteristics of a gentleman are not even recognized:
He never wears sandals.Practices open-air sports where no noise or cheering is to come. He puts his phone out at the table. Gives a correct tip. Does not use a hair dryer. Before a lady goes up the stairs. Is not afraid to tell the truth. Is friendly with staff. Keeps the door open for someone on his path. Gives a firm handshake. Lights up the hearth with one match. Reminds themselves of names. Can open the S closure of a BRA with one hand. Makes a perfect risotto. Gives only a handshake to a stretched hand. He is spontaneous. He knows when to keep his mouth. He takes time for intimacy and freeages. His shoes are always polished.

Every man can be a man, but a gentelmen is a (behavioral) choice a characteristic.A man who behaves courtely to others at all times. It can be a lifestyle that you try to meet as much as possible (or sometimes occasionally). Or it is your institution that you have and you are naturally already more or less.

My interview for master’s program at the Department of Oncology

By Chitra Yadav @chitraydv

It was early January when I received an email stating that I got shortlisted for the interview. I still remember I got a gap of 3 days for interview preparation. There were three professors in the interview panel for the Masters in Radiation Biology intake, and the interview lasted for around 25 minutes. It included various questions that are listed below.

1. The very first question was about my academic background and questions related to my under-graduate specialization. For example, what made you choose this stream? What could be the most impactful contribution it can bring to modern problems?

2. The second section was more based on my research experience and publication work. There were questions like the contribution of my research work towards major environmental problems? Most importantly, how can I criticize my research work with all possible limitations?

3. The third section included the questions to check my knowledge of cancer, for example, what do I understand by cancer and what makes cancer challenging to treat?

4. The fourth section was about radiation physics, in which they asked about the working mechanisms of radiation on cancer cells. All the possible ways by which radiation can affect the cells? Types of radiation, about EM spectrum, and most importantly, the impact of radiation on non-cancerous cells?

5. The final section was quite diverse in which we discussed the extra-curricular activities, funding options, why I choose oxford? Why do I want to study this course? And lastly, what are my future plans (short-term and long-term goals)?

My experience in this interview was great as the professors were very kind, and we had many interesting discussions on cancer and its treatment. There are some points that one should keep in mind, as they helped me in this interview.

1. The most important thing is being honest. Never pretend like you know the answer if you do not know, as it is completely OK if you are not aware of some things.

2. Make sure you are answerable to each and everything written in your SOP and CV. It is better not to include it if you cannot speak on it.

3. It will give you more confidence if you are aware of the research background of the panellist. You can discuss their work if you get a chance in between.

4. It is vital to have some basic knowledge of the course you are applying to even if it is new for you as it will show that you are really interested in this course.

5. Lastly, being CONFIDENT. It matters a lot how you present yourself, so make sure you are confident enough of who you are and what you know.

I had a mindset of sharing my knowledge and learning something from them rather than pleasing them to take me in. Never lose hope even if you are inexperienced, as it was the first interview of my life.

The Coconut Tree

Cassie's Experience

This week I visited The Coconut Tree. The Coconut Tree brings Sri Lankan street food to Oxford. To put it simply, it was delicious!

The restaurant and bar had a really cosy atmosphere. Upon entering, the hum of people laughing and chatting really set the scene for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. It was obvious that everyone was having fun. At the Bar, we were offered the ‘Cocotail’ menu. The Coconut Tree offer delicious cocktails; classics like the mojito are on the menu, but what really excited me were their special cocktails. I had the ‘The Drunken Sri-Lankan,’ which was a fiery ginger-beer based cocktail served in an adorable elephant! My friend tried the Yaka, which is served on fire! (Yes, really!)

When the time to order our food came, we were utterly spoiled for choice. The menu works in a similar way to Tapas, and our waitress recommended choosing around 3 dishes per person. I was immediately struck by the amazing value for money, especially on a student budget. There was a great selection of vegetarian and vegan options, the portions were very generous, and the food was so delicious. As a first-timer, I was encouraged to try the ‘Hopper,’ a bowl-shaped coconut milk pancake served with a coconut sambal, seeni sambal and lunu miris. It was so tasty, and I would definitely agree that it is a must-have for first timers! I would highly recommend the cheesy colombo, fried cheese cubes served in sticky sauce (it was so moreish!) The hot battered spicy cuttlefish and the ‘fat sister,’ a pumpkin curry, were also amongst my favourites; but it was very difficult to pick a top dish when everything we had to eat was so brilliant.

More than anything, the staff really stood out. The service we received was always with a smile, which really contributed to the atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and the dishes that we ordered on their recommendation turned out to be our favourites. I will definitely be returning to the Coconut Tree!

Mahnoor's Experience

Totally loved the opportunity to check out The Coconut Tree. It was truly "one of a kind"

experience. A welcoming team who greet you so warmly, explain the menu and help you choose, along with food that tasted so amazing that me and my guest couldn't help but feel great.

It was a fine dining experience with a lovely traditional touch. Being from Pakistan, I felt the food was close to the ones I am used to having back home.

The menu, as explained by the lovely staff works for each person choosing 3 dishes.

We ended up having quite a lot to eat and honestly loved every bit of it, so much that even when our stomachs were full, our taste buds couldn't let go of the taste.

I particularly loved the daal (it reminded me of the way my mother cooks it).

The Hoppers as recommended by their staff were truly amazing, we tried the egg hopper and loved it.

My friend tried the chicken curry and pineapple curry and loved both of them!

I haven’t been paying much attention to this new Jake Gyllenhaal film Nightcrawler, but after this trailer, I’m definitely excited to see it. Gyllenhaal looks to be at his slimiest here, and with all the crazy car antics, I’m getting a kind of Drive vibe off of it. Could be pretty badass! Or rather, fucking amazeballs.

Nightcrawler comes out October 31, 2014.

Just an old motorcycle suit.

I’m just going to keep posting Ant-Man clips until the movie is released or starts looking awesome to me. Maybe I’m looking too hard for something to complain about since I’m an Edgar Wright fanboy and he departed the project a while back because of creative differences, but all the promotional stuff I’ve seen for Ant-Man so far has been severely lacking in…I dunno, enthusiasm? I mean, listen to Paul Rudd saying “Nice!” in the clip above. There isn’t a hint of joy. He doesn’t even seem impressed with his own work. I’m not going to hold my breath for a great movie here, but don’t mistake that for me not wanting Ant-Man to kick ass. I think this could be a great time. Just give me something to get pumped about!

Ant-Man comes out July 17, 2015.

Research Study Abstract

Demonstrating the utility of a person-worn camera to assess multiple behaviors in different populations: Beyond accelerometers and food recalls

  • Presented on May 21, 2014

Purpose: To provide objective measures of physical activity (PA) and eating behaviors (EB) using a single device. Person-worn cameras (PWC) offer the opportunity to classify and characterize multiple concurrent activities and their contexts, simultaneously; allowing for the objective classification of contextual and time-specific activities.

Methods: Two distinct populations, overweight females (OF n=197 person-days) and university employees commuting via bicycle (CB n=90 person-days), wore a PWC for a minimum of 8 hours a day for 3-5 days along with a hip worn accelerometer. PWC images were annotated for position(e.g. sedentary, or walking/running) and activities (e.g. eating, TV watching, etc) using standardized procedures.

Results: Results are presented to demonstrate the utility of PWC images to objectively identify behaviors in different populations.

• OF showed no difference in sitting time between weekdays and weekends, compared to a 10% difference in CB group.

• Time spent cycling was double on weekdays vs weekends in the CB group (8.2% vs 4.3%) while accelerometry did not detect differences in activity level.

• Both the OF and CB group performed more household activity on weekends vs weekdays (10% and 14% respectively).

• In the CB group, 13% of eating time was in front of a TV/screen on weekends

• OF evidenced stable car use on weekdays vs. weekends while the CB group varied by as much as 9%.

Conclusions: This study demonstrates how a PWC can assess multiple behaviors concurrently, which may be useful in better understanding the context and timing of specific behaviors.

The Barn at Hickory Creek

barn venue

About The Barn at Hickory Creek

In 1954, Thomas H. Shartle, Sr. purchased the property on FM 3187 to be used as the headquarters for Hickory Creek Ranch. The property extended from SH 7 East to SH 21 East and included more than 4,000 contiguous acres. In addition to this, there were several other tracts of timber and pasture land around Houston and Leon Counties bringing the total acreage to 9,000+.

Following the death of Tom Sr. in 1997, the cattle business was sold as well as all the pasture land except the headquarters.

In 2003, the remaining pasture known as the headquarters of Hickory Creek Ranch was purchased by grandson Wade Shartle and wife Jenni and consists of 360 acres of pasture land surrounded by 1,300 acres of pine timber land that is still owned by members of Thomas H. Shartle, Sr.’s family.

In 2013, Wade and Jenni’s daughter decided that she wanted to get married in the old hay barn located on the property. This sparked the idea for a total renovation and the creation of a rustic wedding venue. In four months time, the old hay barn, originally built in 1951, was transformed into an elegant venue with beautifully stained concrete floors, large chandeliers and the addition of an air conditioned bride’s room and bathrooms.

The Shartle family diligently worked to create a unique venue that is perfect for any event, not only will you and your guest be able to enjoy the rustic elegance of a restored barn; they will also have the benefit of a gorgeous view of a 31-acre private lake

It is our hope that you will enjoy the beauty of Hickory Creek Ranch as much as we do.

First contact, only by sms, after reading my conditions. If you consider that "having sex" with someone is above all making love, that it is each time a unique moment where pleasure must be shared, and that you can't plan in advance as you do in a restaurant when ordering your menu, then you can continue your reading, we have chances to get along, and not only verbally ;-). I only travel, to your hotel or your home, in Harvey . Take the time to exchange a few sentences and even more if you are talkative, then touch each other softly, kiss each other to gradually find the stings of the other's pleasure. Listen to your senses and let yourself be gently and voluptuously led by desire. That's how I see it. Slowness, especially during a first meeting, is essential for me, but does not exclude wilder moments if the desire, on your part and mine, is felt. I propose meetings of 1 hour minimum, because taking the time is the essential condition for an intense moment of shared pleasures. Brown, pretty, I am 33 years old, with generous shapes (1m62 for 65kg, 95D), blue eyes surrounded by a face often smiling or even laughing decorated with dimples, silky hair.

Indian Restaurant Owner On Trial After Peanut Death

An Indian restaurant owner is on trial accused of the manslaughter of a customer who suffered a fatal allergic reaction to peanuts after eating a takeaway curry.

Mohammed Zaman — owner of the Indian Garden restaurant — was plagued with debt so he began cutting corners as a means to cut costs.

Zaman’s strategies reportedly included employing illegal workers and substituting almond powder for a cheaper ground nut mix that contained peanuts.

Where the 53-year-old restaurateur really went wrong is by failing to warn patrons of the new ingredient being used in their recipes.

Due to Zaman’s negligence, Paul Wilson, 38, died at his home after consuming curry made with the peanut mix.

According to The Telegraph, Wilson specifically asked for “no nuts” when he ordered his food but was still served the lethal dish.

“We say Paul Wilson did what he always did and ordered no nuts in clear and simple terms,” said prosecutor Richard Wright. “There was no confusion here. Instead there was a business in which corners were being cut for the sake of profits, systems were non-existent and the customer was constantly exposed to danger.”

Zaman is being charged with manslaughter but pleads not guilty, denying any wrongdoing despite the fact it is evident he falsely advertised meals he was serving.

Even before Wilson’s death, a similar incident occurred at another restaurant Zaman owned in which a 17-year-old girl had a severe allergic reaction after eating a dish she believed contained no nuts.

Luckily, she survived after being rushed to the hospital and injected with an epi-pen, according to The Telegraph.

This should have served as a wakeup call to Zaman to either revert back to the old ingredients or start thoroughly warning customers, but it’s pretty clear he did neither.

Zaman’s scheme to save money and avoid losing customers with peanut allergies greatly backfired. He deserves to be exposed and punished for putting innocent peoples’ lives at risk.

A Pandemic Can't Stop Knox College's Jazz Program

By Eleanor Sevigny

Published January 28, 2021 in The Burg GALESBURG - In April of 2020 Andy Crawford the Managing Director of Knox Jazz Year cancelled the Rootabaga Jazz Festival because of the Covid-19 pandemic. After cancelling the event Crawford made a decision, “I was determined not to cancel more events. I prepared our program for every contingency plan. This led to changing what jazz looks like for our community because of Covid-19.” “Right now at Knox we do not have a big band. Ensembles are made up of 10 people or less. Musicians have to use custom made masks for their woodwind instruments. We no longer have Thursday night jazz performances. As a professional musician I’ve lost a lot of my work. It’s not just me. Musicians all over the world are hurting,” Crawford lamented. Despite the hardships that Covid-19 has brought to the musical community, Crawford has achieved his goal of not cancelling anymore events by revisioning them. The Jerome Mirza Jazz Residency will be hosted on Knox College’s Youtube Channel. The Jerome Mirza Jazz Residency keynote speakers will do a presentation followed by a live question and answer session. The jazz residency series schedule is as follows: January 31 Amir ElSaffar Beyond the Other Shore - Transcultural Music Making, February 21 Allison Miller Creative Making RIGHT NOW!, March 7 Fabian Almazan Developing a Voice: Approaches to Self - Teaching, March 21 Ndudzo Makhathini Imporvisation in Jazz as Divination: A (South) African Context, April 11 Ulysses Owens Jr. The Musician’s Career Guide: Turning Your Talent Into Sustained Success, and May 2 Jeremy Cunningham Breaking Down the Fourth Wall. All presentations will be at 3 pm. For the series finale Jeremy Cunningham and his ensemble will perform his moving project The Weather Up There live in concert on May 16, 4 pm on the Knox campus. Crawford’s determination also resulted in the Rootabaga Jazz Festival going virtual as well on April 16 and 17. “Rootabaga will be fairly different than it has been,” Crawford admitted. “There will be no alumni band performance and we are not sure if we will be able to do a performance at the library for kids this year,” Crawford explained. There will be a virtual school tour for the District 205 schools. Tito Carrillo will record a video for each of the schools with Jason Brannon, Whitney Ashe, and Andy Crawford. As far as the other performances go, Rootabaga will not have a performance at Fat Fish this year. “Instead our performances will be held at The Orpheum. We hope to open up our performances to a limited audience, but will not know if that is possible until closer to the event.” Crawford explained. Rootabaja’s schedule is as follows: Soul Message April 16, 7 pm and Greg Ward’s Rogue Parade and Knox Jazz Ensemble April 17. The Knox band will record their performance prior to the event. The time for the April 17 performance will be determined in April. Both events will be available on the Knox Youtube Channel. Even though Rootabaga and Jerome Mirza Residency Program are not the same this year, there is an advantage to going virtual. “By going virtual we are able to open up our performances to a lot more people. We now have an unlimited audience,” Crawford explained. Once we are past the Covid-19 pandemic and things have returned to normal, Crawford has a request for the Galesburg community, “Support live music whenever and however you can. Don’t take for granted what we have in this community. Take advantage of every opportunity you have to enjoy live music.”

Confidence – The Rosetta Stone of Teaching

In The Confident Teacher by Alex QuigleyLeave a Comment

Nearly a decade ago I began teaching English (not very well if I remember). I was a startled rabbit of the most baffled kind. Each morning I would quietly take ‘Rescue Remedy’ in the gents toilets to help conquer my raging nerves, before embarking upon the war of attrition that was every school day as an NQT!

University success was a distant memory. I made the usual mistakes, experienced the typical emotional roller coasters, and eventually made my way through it to the other side. Now that I have a leadership role myself, I see that confidence is not just the Rosetta Stone for students to unlock their potential, it is just as important for teachers.

Not just new teachers either, confidence waxes and wanes – sometimes when we think we are on the other side we are dragged back in the swim – battered by self doubt!

As a Subject Leader, I have the privilege of experience and the greater self-confidence it typically brings, yet the old ‘imposter syndrome’ never goes away – but, perhaps that is a good thing. I have seen brilliant teachers and trainees wracked by self-doubt, whilst the worst of teachers can be full of conviction in their own superior ability.

As a friend, colleague and leader, I suppose it is my job to help guide through that tricky course between two different types of self doubt: one with the attendant drive to keep getting better, and the other self doubt that becomes crippling and destructive for a teacher.

I hesitated in writing any blog posts about confidence, as I didn’t want to betray any professional secrets of colleagues past or present. I discussed this with my brilliant colleague Helen, a young teacher, still fresh from completing her NQT year, who agreed to guest post her personal thoughts. They mirror many of my experiences as a new teacher and it is a refreshingly honest account of why confidence is crucial in teaching:

A few weeks ago my Subject Leader introduced the new personalised coaching ideas which would form the basis of our faculty training time this year. The idea was to focus in on one or two key things that would improve our teaching and work on them in discussion with other members of the faculty– in his words making ‘marginal gains’ to move from good to outstanding. Excellent in theory: I was an NQT last year, I’ve got this reflecting thing down and I have a whole multitude of things to fix! In reality, it was Monday afternoon, Year 10 had been in an entertaining mood and, as such, my reflection on my own practice extended about as far as: ‘What on earth am I doing – it was supposed to be easier this year!’ I survived the session, went home, cried, then composed (although didn’t send) a long and dramatic email to my Subject Leader complaining about the whole situation.

So far: so mature.

The main thrust of my ramblings concerned the central issue that teaching is wholly personal. And with that it can be potently emotional and even psychological. So a discussion of our areas for development can begin to delve into a whole heap of insecurities which we would often rather keep hidden.

Luckily, I have a very supportive department who spent the next morning soothing my concerns, and a Subject Leader who can generally pick up on my mood within about five seconds of entering my classroom! So, with my Subject Leader, we spent break discussing the roots of my email (which when I showed to him he found hilarious). We came back to the same place we ended up throughout my NQT year.

Confidence. Or a lack thereof.

Confidence can sometimes be overlooked in discussions about teaching, but it seems to be absolutely central to everything we do as teachers.

Not in a ‘standing up in front of 30 teenagers requires confidence’ way, but in the ‘I need to have a fundamental faith in the decisions we make every day‘ fashion. In my NQT year, the thing I found hardest was not dealing with tricky students (however fun Friday 5 with Year 9 can be!); it wasn’t the piles of marking which seemed to take over my life; but it was the sudden sense of responsibility for my students. There can be debate over how responsible we are for the students in our classes, but as I started my job I seemed to shift from a twenty three year old whose greatest challenge was driving a car and remembering to pay the bills, to having groups of teenagers whose progress in English was pretty much at my door. The Year 11s who needed a C to get into college, and the Year 13s who wanted to get into university, were now mine for a few hours per week and I had to try to get them there.

This is an exaggerated way of looking at things and I had an incredible NQT mentor who counselled me down from these hyperbolic heights, but the main thing I had to develop, and will continue to develop, is the confidence that I am making the right decisions and doing the best by my students.

So on an afternoon in October, a discussion of marginal gains collided with a mindset of ‘there are so many things to fix – where do I even start’.

I’ve been a perfectionist for much longer than I’ve been a teacher so it’s a tough habit to break. Therefore, it was only once I had admitted this to my Subject Leader – and more importantly to myself – that I could actually get on with the job of coaching and improving. If we fail to recognise this central point then any coaching will be as productive as my initial session – I was there, I was talking, I was listening but I wasn’t making any (to use a buzzword) progress.

It was only following an emotional email, a break time discussion, and a few good lessons, that I could get my head around what I needed to do in terms of my own coaching targets.

I can only speak as new (ish) teacher, but it’s an easy cycle to get stuck in: lessons go wrong, emotion kicks in, confidence is bashed and the ability to be positive about how to improve can start to slip out the window. Yet, it is this emotional focus which actually makes it one of the trickiest things to combat.

My Subject Leader can give me a range of strategies to improve my questioning but, much as it frustrates him, he cannot wave a magic wand and teach me to have faith in the job that I am doing. It is the ultimate part of the job that requires small improvements – saving those comments from students and colleagues, taking pleasure from the fact that all my Year 13s did get into university and slowly building up self-belief. Building confidence. It is also something that fluctuates continually depending on the class, the day, the topic, or even the weather!

There are endless discussions over how to improve our teaching, but I know that at the centre of my own practice is a more personal battle: the need to be able to step back and reflect, without losing faith in my instincts. It is easy to put on the confident-teacher mask, but to really move forward that confidence needs to run much deeper.

The first step to becoming the type of teacher I want to be, is developing the confidence to believe that I can actually be that teacher.

I am very lucky to share my working day with bright stars like Helen, who care so much about what they do, the students they teach, and the colleagues they work with each day.

Perhaps the ultimate paradox about confidence is that teachers who lack it are driven to reflect deeply and become much better for it, whereas the teachers who are too full of it end up becoming gorged on their own self-importance and never become truly great teachers. What Helen’s words remind me is that we teachers must keenly remember that we are human – all too human – that we should tend to one another as we aim to do for our students.

We should remember that we all want to be better teachers, but that the process is fraught with fears and other attendant doubts. Finally, and most important of all, that we should be kind to one another. Yes, that is the main thing I have learned working as a teacher. Not just with our students, but with our colleagues too – we must be kind.

So let us celebrate then the humble teacher, struggling to get better each day – building their own wall of confidence, so that their students may do the same. And let us be kind to one another.
