(NEW YORK) — Today, there are an estimated 1.1 million people in the U.S. living with HIV, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.With drugs such as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) made available to help treat and prevent the spread of HIV, the number of people diagnosed with the disease has decreased. The annual number of new diagnoses declined 9 percent from 2010 to 2016 in the U.S.But the outlook wasn’t always this hopeful.”It was completely unexpected. Everybody was baffled by this,” Guy Vandenberg, who worked as a nurse helping patients with AIDS during the 1980s epidemic, told ABC News’ Good Morning America. “It was a mystery initially as to what this lethal thing was. And when you don’t know what something is, it’s extra scary.”

From unknown to epidemicIn 1981, the first cases of what would eventually become known as AIDS started to arise on the West Coast of the U.S. By 1985, there were an estimated 558,000 people diagnosed with AIDS living in the country.At the beginning, medical professionals were uncertain what caused the disease and exactly how it was spread.The uncertainty resulted in a great deal of fear. Many medical personnel refused to give care for fear of being exposed. Others felt that in order to give care, it was necessary to wear protective gear, referred to as “space suits.””The space suits originally came into existence to protect patients who were severely immunocompromised,” Vandenberg explained. “And then in some hospitals, it got turned around because health care professionals got so scared that they wanted to wear them for their protection.”At the time, the majority of AIDS patients were men who had sex with other men, leading many to believe it was a disease contained to the gay community and was often referred to as “gay cancer.””From the beginning, this was not a gay epidemic,” Vandenberg said. “Yes, there were a lot of gay men who were infected, but this virus doesn’t discriminate.”Vandenberg says the misconception led to many gay patients — regardless of being infected with the virus or not — receiving lower levels of care than other patients. Vandenberg, who himself is gay, experienced this firsthand when hospitalized in the 1980s.”The food tray was shoved into the room and everything was covered in plastic,” he said. “Then everything was put in biohazard bags when it was taken out. People were fully gowned when they came in, even just to talk with me.”

The power of touchWhile hospitals around the country were frightened of patients with the disease, San Francisco General Hospital decided to take a different approach to the care provided to AIDS patients by embracing the power of touch.In 1983, SFGH founded the world’s first in-patient AIDS ward, known as 5B. It was dedicated solely to the care for patients with HIV and AIDS, and the staff was made up of health care providers who volunteered to be there.5B stood out from other hospitals because staff treated patients like any other and were not afraid to touch them.”We knew enough to know that this wasn’t casually transmitted,” Vandenberg said. “We didn’t have the absolute certainty to back that up, but if this had been airborne or transmitted through casual contact, we would’ve seen something really different.”The recently released film 5B, produced by Verizon Media Company, shares the stories of nurses such as Vandenberg, who worked in the ward and documents how the 5B changed the way patients were cared for.Vandenberg began his nursing career in the late 1980s working with AIDS patients in hospice care, an area of the medical field where nurses are trained to care for patients with compassion. He would later take these skills to SFGH when he transferred to the AIDS ward in the early 1990s.”5B combined this approach of doing what you could to help a person survive with the approach that we had in hospice of human touch, and recognizing that there’s a human being behind all of those tubes and gadgets,” he said.”People need human touch. If they’re not accepted in society, if they’re not accepted in their family, then there’s nurses, there’s volunteers. It’s not the biological family…it’s the logical family,” Vandenberg added.

Continuing the fight against HIV/AIDSIn 1998, Vandenberg’s life would change forever when his partner, Steve Williams, became severely ill and hospitalized. Initially, Williams was tested for cancer, but would later be diagnosed with HIV.”I was angry that HIV had come so close because I had been working in it a number of years and I somehow felt that I was entitled to a reprieve or something like that,” Vandenberg said.Williams was admitted to SFGH, where he would recover from the severe illness. Now, the pair have dedicated much of their time to “paying it forward” by travelling the world to help areas that are greatly impacted by HIV and AIDS.With recent medical advancements, Vandenberg is hopeful that HIV will soon be eliminated but recognizes there is still much work to do.”On the one hand, I feel very hopeful that we now have so much that we can do,” Vandenberg said. “Medical advances are incredibly important and I’m glad that they’re happening. But with these medical advancements, we have to also make sure that they get implemented.””Don’t wait for a leader. Don’t wait for someone to show you the way,” he adds “Don’t wait for the right presidential candidate to show up. It’s you and me. It’s right now. It’s right here. You are as prepared as you need to be.”

How To Teach All Levels...In The Same Classroom!

9:07 AM

Do you have diverse learners in your classroom? Are some students way ahead of others? Maybe you have students with special needs or limited English. Now what?

Trying to accommodate different ability levels and individual student needs at the same time can seem overwhelming, but there are techniques that can make it more manageable.

In this post I’ll give you a few tips to handling a variety of needs in the same classroom. Here are a few tricks that helped me as an elementary special education teacher:

This is a no- brainer for teachers in the lower grades. If you teach pre-k through second grade, then chances are that you’re already using centers. But what if you teach older students? Is it appropriate to use centers with older students? My answer is…YES.

How you use centers will completely depend on what is appropriate for your group’s age, interests, and subjects being taught. If I was able to utilize centers while teaching a college course, then I’m confident that you can make it work in your classroom too!

What I mean by the word “centers” though is really just more than one activity going on at one time. Instead of completing tasks one by one as a whole group, try doing them in small rotating groups.

Your groups could look something like this:

Group 1: Direct instruction with the teacher
Group 2: Independent work at desks
Group 3:  Research for an upcoming project on computers in back of the room

Breaking the class down into smaller groups gives you the opportunity to more accurately tailor the assignment to their needs.

Grouping students by ability level can help you to provide a lesson better suited to their needs, but it is important to switch up the groups often. Try periodically mixing the groups up by interest, learning style, personal choice, or even randomly so that no student feels “stuck” in any one group.

My groups changed weekly and were different according to subject level. In other words, whatever group students were in for reading had nothing to do with their math group. We switched it up regularly so there really wasn’t any one high or low group.

The students seemed to enjoy mixing it up and it kept things fresh and interesting for everyone. Give it a try… It isn’t as hard as you think!

Give students choices in how they want to learn. This allows them to become more motivated. A motivated student is an engaged student.

Provide a variety of assignments that meet the content standard you’re working on. Allow students to choose their lesson task.

Our job as teachers is to coach them in the right direction. We challenge them, provide assistance if necessary, and encourage them to push further in their learning.

Tiered instruction goes hand in hand with centers and student choice. A tiered assignment is basically the same lesson or standard taught with different tasks.

When working on the Days of the Week and Months of the Year with my self- contained students, I used different activities to address my objective.

In addition to our daily circle time activities, I also had my students practice writing the Days and Months as a morning independent work task. Some students cut and paste the letters, some stamped, and some traced, while others were able to just copy the words without help.

All of the students were working on the same standard, but the lesson was modified for their individual needs.

These activities can be found in my TPT shop. These activities are no-prep and great to have on hand for morning work, early finishers, sub plans, and even homework. You can get my Days of the Week Sample for FREE and try them out!

I hope you’ve found my tips on differentiating instruction helpful. If you decide to try one out, I would love to hear how it went in the comments below. If you have any additional tips that might help a novice teacher, please share it with us!

  1. Great post!! I have so many different levels in my small group classes and it's definitely a challenge! I often use centers (even with just 5 kids in my groups!) so that I can give each student more individualized instruction.

  2. Thank you! I think breaking the class into groups makes things so much easier. Once you get the routine in place, the centers practically run themselves and get to focus in on the students more closely. Thank you for sharing your ideas! It sounds like you're doing a wonderful job.

  3. Hey… I loved the article, the above list truly has some really amazing tips and tricks I can personally use. I feel you should check out this app “PRETO3”, it’s an amazing app for classroom management which acts as a one stop for everything you need it has all the features required to manage a school/class.

Block Parties Abound in Corcoran for National Night Out

Cruising through Corcoran on August 4th, you couldn’t help but be excited to see all of our neighbors on the streets and on every corner! National Night Out (NNO) was an incredible hit this year in Corcoran! Throughout our neighborhood there were 19 block parties held! What an incredible turnout and a great way to come together as a community!

NNO was originally an event designed to build camaraderie between the police and community in an effort to build safer, better places to live. It was made to bring a true sense of community to big city areas, and provide opportunity to bring all people together from different backgrounds and living situations. This is still the case today, right here in our neighborhood. NNO has become the time of year that all Corcoranites come together and get to know the people that live all around us.

For example, on 22nd avenue, over 30 neighbors from both rental units and homes, came to get to know one another, see how big the neighborhood kids have become, share in some great food, and play around on the streets with no concerns of safety. It was an awesome evening of excitement, new friendships, catching up, and it went until the sun went down and the moon came out. By the end of the night everyone had a blast and learned more about what it means to be part of our little block.

And since that night, I can’t go down the block without seeing someone once that I have built a new friendship with! That is true community unfolding right here in Corcoran.

Why we need your help

Cosgrove Care's support workers, carers and volunteers are working tirelessly to provide home care to the elderly and support to children and their families. During this time many people are especially vulnerable. Our older people are more isolated than ever and our children’s daily lives as they know it have changed significantly. Due to changing circumstances 48% of our supports have been cancelled, our retail shops closed and fundraising events postponed, which has had a significant impact upon our charities income.

How you can help?

By donating a small gift of £10, £20, £50 or £100, which would usually be spent on a trip to the cinema or evening out, you will help us to respond immediately to help elderly people and children with within your community.

Where the money will go?

We will use the funds raised to provide:

  • Home care to the elderly and meet volunteer expenses, such as fuel costs, to help volunteers deliver essential foods.
  • Support the cost of virtual supports, such as mobile phone data, and the cost of postage to post crafts to the children and adults we support.
  • Purchase of additional technology to help our volunteer coordinator keep in touch with the local community.
  • Help to meet the running costs of the charity such as accommodation and the cost of staff, who are paid by the hour, who help to provide emergency support, as well as skilled clubs, such as drama and the arts.

Together we will get through this. From everyone at Cosgrove Care thank you for thinking of us at this challenging time!

'Bam' looms as answer to UK's post problems

Kyle Tucker
View Comments
Mar 30, 2016; Chicago, IL, USA; McDonald's All-American forward Bam Adebayo (13) shoots during the McDonald's High School All-American Game at the United Center.

CHICAGO – There is the term glaring, as in obvious, like Kentucky’s painfully clear lack of a rugged post presence last season.

And then there is actual glaring, as in staring, like the way Edrice “Bam” Adebayo mean-mugged Sacha Killeya-Jones after every dunk or block or give-me-that rebound in practices for the McDonald’s All American Game this week.

The former form of glaring might be the antidote to the latter kind, which had a lot to do with Wildcats being sent packing in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Although Killeya-Jones will soon be his teammate at UK, the 6-foot-9, 260-pound Adebayo showed him no mercy here in Chicago. Somewhere, John Calipari is smiling.

“You got no friends when you’re on the other team,” Adebayo said. “You can’t just say, ‘Oh, he picked Kentucky so let me back off him.’ No, we’re just going to go at it. We’re always going to go at each other in practice and the best man wins. After that, we’re going to be shaking hands off the court and it’s going to be buddy-buddy again.”

New Cats already pushing rivalry buttons

A double-double machine in high school, Adebayo posted another one – the only one – in Wednesday night’s McDonald’s game: 16 points, 12 rebounds, two steals and a block in just 22 minutes. Eight of his boards were on the offensive glass and most of his six made shots (on nine attempts) were violent dunks, save one impressive mid-range jump shot.

So should anyone be worried about Kentucky’s frontcourt next season?

“No, I don’t think so,” said the 6-11 Killeya-Jones. “We’ll have a big front line and we’ll all fight. Bam, when he goes to the cup, when he’s around the basket, you don’t really expect him to jump as high as he does. He gets in there and hits you with an elbow you don’t expect and he’ll jump and keep rising. He’s a really athletic dude, and he’s real physical.”

The Wildcats sure could’ve used some of that this season. Five players standing 6-8 or taller combined for just 10 double-doubles. Adebayo, ranked as high as the No. 4 overall prospect in the Class of 2016 by ESPN and no lower than 15th by any of the major services, could surpass that total by himself next season.

“They were just missing a motor,” he said. “Tyler Ulis and Jamal (Murray) and (Isaiah) Briscoe carried them, but they needed a motor inside. I’m just a motor. I like to play hard. If it involves trash talking to get in somebody’s head, I’ll do it. I gotta get that rebound. Kick, scratch, budge, just gotta get that rebound.”

He had five of those in the first four minutes against the nation’s top high school prospects Wednesday night. He turned offensive rebounds into rim chin-ups. He snatched an opponent’s jump shot right out of the air with both hands, although it was a goal tend.

Future UK teammate and fellow McDonald’s All American Malik Monk is excited to join Adebayo in Lexington.

“You can’t stop him,” Monk said. “You cannot stop him if he’s trying to rebound – at all.”

Jack Doss, coach of the McDonald’s East team, became similarly enamored of Adebayo during the week of practices. He’s confident “Bam” is the answer to what ailed UK this season.

Fox, Monk ready to be next great UK backcourt

“He’s going to bring a lot of energy and some ‘man.’ Men win in the paint, and he’s one that’s going to win for them,” Doss said. “They just needed somebody to score and be consistent inside this year. I think with Sacha and Bam, they’re going to be really good.”

Adebayo said he’s packed on about 25 pounds in the last nine months, thanks to a hardcore workout regimen, and his chiseled physique suggests it is largely good weight. There was not a player on Kentucky’s roster last season who looked or played as intimidating as the teenager who is on his way.

“Bam’s a grown man,” said point guard De’Aaron Fox, the fourth Cat in Chicago this week. “I don’t think (post presence) will be a problem. If Bam looks like he’s about to jump, I don’t even jump. I can’t get to where he’s getting. And once he grabs the ball, there’s no popping it up. He’s not letting go. You’re going to break a finger.”

A mother and father and two of their children were found guilty of offences against children including rape and sexual assault, while three other people had already pleaded guilty ahead of an eight-week trial.

Their offences totalled over 40 and spanned more than three decades, before they were finally brought to justice.

A number of agencies worked alongside police throughout the investigation and the crown court trial, including Crasac.

Dianne Whitfield, the charity's CEO, told CoventryLive: "We have been supporting some of the victims within the case and have been closely involved since 2015.

"It's a huge relief that there have been four convictions and previously three guilty pleas. But I'm also incredibly devastated for the victims that it went on for 30 years.

"Knowing that some of the victims did approach police beforehand and it never went anywhere, it's awful.

"What I do know is that when the case was reopened, there was a referral to our service. From that we made contact with police and asked it to be reviewed under the victim's right to review.

"And although it was out of the timescale we are relieved that they did and reopened the case.

"From then the relationship with both police and the intermediaries and the support for the children has been incredibly positive, and that's reflected in the guilty verdicts."

Potential police failings

Crasac deal with current cases and those that stretch back over previous decades, just as this one did.

Police were first made aware of abuse to one victim by Antony Potts in 1989 - but the case never reach the courts.

West Midlands Police revealed that an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) in to the original investigation stated that it had involved ‘poor policing’.

The IPCC recently became the Independent Office for Police Conduct and they told CoventryLive that the full details of that report will not be published until all proceedings connected with the case have come to an end.

Antony Potts, 49, of Milverton Road, Wood End, was found guilty of 13 counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and nine counts of inciting a child to perform a sexual act and cruelty - all against children.

His half-brother Nathan Potts, 26, of Burnaby Road, was convicted of two counts of rape of a child, four counts of sexual assault, inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and sex with another adult.

Meanwhile Nathan's parents - and Anthony's dad - Keith Potts, 67, and Julie Potts, 60, both of Burnaby Road, were both found guilty of two counts of cruelty to a child.

Commenting on changes over the last 30 years, Miss Whitfield said: "Horrendous abuses happened (in the past) that went nowhere near the criminal process.

"When this case was reopened there was a massive commitment, motivation and hard work to make sure they were supported.

"There was 30 years of abuse before this stage and that's a depiction of the changes we are experiencing generally within society and within the responses of statutory services.

"And that can only be for the better."

"Justice where we see injustice"

Miss Whitfield spoke of her pride in those who work at Crasac for their involvement in this case, as well as all cases where they do everything they can to support the victims.

She said: "I will know to leave this job that day I don't feel horrified by a case. This horrified me, but all cases horrify me.

"Awful things happened to these children and we know it will be happening still and that's what keeps us motivated to support and ensure justice where we see injustice.

"I'm proud of the work Crasac does day in, day out, and I can see the commitment that is provided by our workers to these children."

Time Line

How horror of child sex abuse case unfolded over 30 years

  3. July 2015

    Deemed there was be insufficient evidence to bring charges against Potts et al.

  4. Case re-opened

    In January 2016 the testimony of a fifth person saw the case re-opened and the full extent of the abuse began to unfold

  5. Trial begins

    Birmingham Crown Court hosted the trial that was to last for eight weeks and began in April 2018

  9. July 2018

    Antony Potts was jailed for life for his crimes, while his half-brother Joshua was handed 16 years in prison

  10. Other sentences

    Keith Potts and Julie Potts were jailed for eight years and seven years respectively, while Elaine Potts and Joanne Hoye are serving four years each in prison.

  11. Joshua Potts sentence

    The 26-year-old was sentenced a day later and jailed for 16 years with an extended licence to run for eight years.

  12. August 28

    Nathan Potts was the final family member to be sentenced and was given 20 years in prison with an extended licence for eight years.

Serious case review

A serious case review is currently underway by the Coventry Safeguarding Children Board.

David Peplow, chair of that board, said: “In complex cases like this where children have been harmed it can be helpful to review the way in which different organisations have worked together.

"Therefore, a Serious Case Review was commissioned and is due to report later in the year.

"It seeks to understand how a number of agencies worked together to protect the children from harm and whether any lessons can be learned. It is being independently authored and chaired. ”

Rape victim

Miss Whitfield added: "It's critical we pick up on these reviews and not just to say it's about better communication between agencies, as that's often a finding, but to embed it and hold those that haven't to account.

"We have to do that or things won't change rapidly enough to protect (victims) and that has to be the key motivation.

"Is there more to be done? Absolutely. We can never take our foot off the accelerator with relationship to this work."

Lessons to learn

An NSPCC spokesman said: “It is important that lessons are learned. Children who have been sexually abused have already suffered extraordinary trauma.

"Seeing their perpetrator brought to justice can be a crucial part of rebuilding their lives.

“As with all crimes, there are many reasons why child sexual abuse cases don’t make it to court.

“However, it is vital that children are fully supported by appropriate specialists through the interviewing and evidence gathering process. When a case does not reach court it’s essential that the child has access to help and support to deal with the emotional impact it may have.

“We want survivors of child sexual abuse to know they will be listened to, regardless of how many years have passed.”

TORONTO - Newcomer Jose Berrios prolonged the Blue Jays' Rogers Centre return party on Sunday.

The 27-year-old Puerto Rican pitcher, acquired before the Major League Baseball trade deadline last Friday, pitched six shutout innings in his debut outing to lead his new team to a 5-1 victory in the Blue Jays first series in Toronto in 22 months because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Blue Jays (54-48) swept the Kansas City Royals (45-59) and outscored their opponents 15-5 in the three-game set. Toronto has won four in a row and five of its last six and began the month of August 3 ½ games out in the American League wildcard race.

“They gave me a really nice welcome,” Berrios said of his new teammates. “I'm comfortable here.

“I know there is a minimum for the crowd 1/8 15,000 fans 3/8 , but you could still feel the support.”

The Blue Jays sent prime prospects in infielder/outfielder Austin Martin and pitcher Simeon Woods-Richardson to the Minnesota Twins. Berrios had spent his entire professional career in the Twins organization before the trade.

“This was something new to me, the first time not with Minnesota,” he said. “I think we gave each other confidence.”

Berrios arrived at Rogers Centre around 8 p.m. on Saturday to meet with manager Charlie Montoya and pitching coach Pete Walker. Slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. also was hanging around the Blue Jays clubhouse with his family when the newcomer arrived.

Berrios (8-5) revealed he drifted off to sleep around 9:30 p.m. His biggest challenge wearing No. 17 for his new team was overcoming a couple of extra days of rest between starts. He was scheduled to start for the Twins on Friday.

“What I was impressed with was he was relocating to a new team, a new country in a pandemic and dealt 1/8 with all the challenges 3/8 ,” Montoya said.

The crowd of 14,427 must have wondered what all the praise heaped on Berrios was true. He was hit hard early by the Royals, a familiar Central Division opponent of the Twins. Berrios yielded four singles in the nine batters he faced in the first two innings. But he found his groove in the third, fourth and fifth innings by throwing more breaking balls.

In the sixth, Berrios surrendered a one-out double to outfielder Andrew Benintendi and loaded the bases after hitting Hunter Dozier and Michael Taylor with two outs. But Berrios struck out Edward Olivares, the final batter he faced for the afternoon.

Berrios wound fanning seven Royals, hit three batters in his 95-pitch, 64-strike outing. He has pitched at least six innings in his last five starts and 10 of his past 11.

His new teammates provided the necessary run support in the third inning. First, red-hot George Springer knocked in catcher Reese McGuire with a double to right-centre field. Marcus Semien then smashed a two-run homer for his 25th of the year to become only the second Toronto second baseman to reach the single-season milestone.

Kansas City starter Brad Keller (7-10) left the game after three innings because of lower-back tightness.

Toronto third baseman Santiago Espinal slammed a solo shot in the fourth. The Blue Jays pushed home an additional run an inning later after four consecutive walks to Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Cavan Biggio, Randal Grichuk and Espinal.

Guerrero Jr. was given the day off. With the arrival of Berrios and reliever Joakim Soria, also acquired before Friday's trade deadline, the Blue Jays optioned pitchers Thomas Hatch and Tayler Saucedo to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 1, 2021.

People have been asking me “So…what’s next? What is your next big rocket project?”

I’ve been noodling around with a tube fin based rocket. This will be my newest design project since project Perseus (XR4), whose roots go to XR3 (project Pegasus).

Up to now, all of my rocket designs have revolved around XR2 (Artemis) and XR4 (Perseus) rockets. The Comanche XR9C is an offshoot (a blending) of both Artemis and Perseus designs – combining the best of both into a unique design.

The new project carries the designation “XR10”, and will be called “Project Zephyr”.

The most notable feature of the new rocket will be the fact that it will make use of  “tube fins” in its design. Tube fin rockets use a series of hollow tubes around the base of the airframe instead of traditional fins.

I am interested in this design for two reasons.

  1. I think the design will be capable of stable flights across a wide range of weather (wind) conditions.
  2. Should make an excellent launch vehicle for a wide range of experimental payloads.

The first of the Zephyr designs will be a small scale boiler plate version of the rocket to be used in a series of flights with the purpose of logging all of its aerodynamic characteristics. The final flights of this model will be designed to push the limits of the rocket. This design will be designated XR10-1.

These test flights could begin by fall 2013 and last about 12-15 months.

The next will be a functional small scale version of the rocket with functioning computer systems with the capability of multi-staged flights.

There will be two rockets built for this portion of the project as these test flights will be quite extensive, and will last over a period of one and a half to two years. This length of time will be necessary to “tweak” the aerodynamic & mechanical design, as well as the flight computer software. These rockets will be designated XR10-2 and XR10-3. XR10-2 is set for a maiden flight in late 2014 / early 2015.

XR10-3 could follow a few months after XR10-2’s maiden flight.

As the test flights of these rockets comes to a close, construction will begin on a high power version of the rocket ( Zephyr V or XR10-HP) to launch by late 2016.  The final high power version will have the goal of routine launches reaching 1 mile or more in altitude.

In the meantime, between now and Apr 2014, there will be several High Power flights of Nesaru XR6, as well as the maiden flights of Comanche XR9C. In January, Vega will fly a series of flights over several months to test mechanical systems for use in XR10-2 and XR10-3 rockets.

Over the next few months or so, I will be laying out more information on this new rocket as the design comes together.

I am currently in the process of merging several disconnected rocketry projects into this particular one.

This will certainly be a busy little project for me!

My style has evolved over the years. Sartorial mishaps, lifestyle changes, my mood, motherhood, age, body insecurities..... these all affect how I want to dress.  While I like to dip my toes into trends, I prefer to tread cautiously. There's comfort in my core aesthetic of the simple yet special, timeless yet current. However, change excites me and I enjoy experimenting. I'll filter anything that gives me horrible grade school flashbacks, camel toes, and whatever adds a completely unnecessary 15 lbs to my frame.

Since my color palette pretty much stays the same, I like to refresh my looks through silhouettes and unique details. Most of the time it only takes one stand-out item to re-do an entire wardrobe. For tops it could be an interesting tie detail, neckline or sleeve construction. For bottoms its hemlines and the shape or cut. Lately I've been eyeing mom jeans and the denim trend of 2016 - the kick flare, or cropped flare.

After realizing that they are extremely figure flattering, pairs effortlessly with flats or sneakers, and can be dressed up or down..... I ordered my first pair.  According to WhoWhatWear, they should fall right at the ankle and fraying should be kept at the hemline.  I'll be breaking these in for the next few days and will hopefully get to sneak in some outfit shots this weekend.

There are endless styling options, but I'm eager to pair these with my go-to favorites: slim fitting long sleeve tees or sweaters, block-heeled sandals, and a classic coat.

I've been extremely busy adjusting to my new schedule and work load. I want to thank you for all the continued support despite these long breaks between posts! Still trying to find my rhythm here, but very happy to have you join me on this journey.

Be sure to drop by The Edit , since I update that section pretty often. Thanks for dropping by!

The Importance Of Immigration To The United States

754 Words 4 Pages
The United States is the land of opportunity which gives everyone who has entered legally the right to pursue their American dream. It has made America a diverse place with many nationalities which has created issues regarding immigration. Whether or not we should have more than 11 million immigrants deported, a wall built in between Mexico and the U.Ss, or stop relations with other countries that don’t completely agree with our governments principles. There needs to be a immigration reform for people who has contributed to this country from many sacrifices made when leaving their own country. And like Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “Remember, Remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.” …show more content…
No matter if your were born, raised, adopted, or immigrated to the United States legally, we are all descendants from another place in this world that is not America. Every person in this world is equal to one another because we are all humans. So why do we classify ourselves with race, ethnicity, nationality, social status, economic status, or by sexual preference? The world would be a better place if people put their diffrences aside and work together towards their goals in life. If this country is truly “One nation, under God…” then why doesn’t the government start by passing a immigration reform to truly have a single nation and not divided into many groups. As God said in I John 3:18 – “…Let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.”
In conclusion, immigrants have sacrificed many things from leaving their country to come and have a better life in this country but also contribute if it was their own. So why not sacrifice a little for many immigrants that have spent more to all of their life in this country. So if we are truly the “land of opportunities “ then why not give immigrants the opportunity to prove the government their full potential as a citizen of the United States of

The Philosophies Of Teaching: My Personal Philosophy Of Education

Philosophy of Education

Everyone encounters some type of math in their life. Whether it’s going to the store and someone determines whether they have enough money to get certain items or parents budgeting their financials so that they can take care of bills and the expense of their families. Somewhere in each of our lives we have to understand math. Children as they get older, their minds begin to mold into their experiences and encounters they face. If they do not see how it would help them in the future or impact their lives they do not take it fully serious.

There is no one student that learns exactly like the other, so a teacher coursework should have variation in it when they go through it.

I believe a teacher should teach the material in various ways but also have the students perform what they learned for verification to see if they are grasping the …show more content…
I believe that teachers have to be willing to listen to what the students have to say. Teachers will always face students who don’t understand or grab a topic right away. Teachers have to understand they were once students and if a student ask for assistance or a question they have to be able to explain it in a different way for the student to understand.

The education system is not perfect, but even though this is true. Teachers have to be willing to go the extra mile to help better their students. To have the title Teacher means a person is selfless and has the mindset of a servant. A teacher will have to do things that they don’t always want to do but the reason we choose to teach is because we believe that through teaching we can help better the next generation and their children. If we want society to succeed we are called to step outside of our comfort zone and be the difference that our education system will

Early last week the U14s travelled to Queenswood for their national playoff. The first ten minutes were rather open with neither side closing down very quickly. Then Beth Porter started putting pressure on the opposition with her clean hitting from the back and Emily Thorpe managed to get hold of the centre of midfield. A couple of goals before halftime was the result. In the second half Jess Pilling controlled their right winger who had made a few good runs down the right in the first half and this dried up their main source of agirls u14 hockeyttack. Cranleigh upped the intensity and put together some really good passing movements. Ellen Talbot on the left wing became a thorn in the opposition’s side. This dominance resulted in three further goals in what turned out to be quite a comfortable win in the end.

Two days later, the U16s entertained Canford. The opposition were quick and strong and soon had Cranleigh under a lot of pressure. As they put the squeeze on our 16s it became increasingly difficult to get the ball out from the back. Poppy Bathurst, however, dealt very well with their useful centre forward – and then there was Sophie Miller. She made tackle after tackle including saving two almost certain goals.

The second half saw a different Cranleigh team take the pitch. Megan Batchelor had a sensational half at inside left and, with Eva Solt taking control of the centre of the pitch, the tide turned. Olivia Camsey was still causing havoc in and around the opposition’s D and once the first goal went in, they just kept coming. In the end it was 5-0 with some great hockey being enjoyed by a large crowd whose support encouraged the team to put in a great second half performance.

Both sides will travel to Cannock for the National Finals on February 26th-27th (U16s) and February 28th (U14s).

Jordan Maguire-Drew has joined Crawley until the end of the season

18 January 2021

Crawley Town Football Club are delighted to announce the loan signature of Jordan Maguire-Drew from Leyton Orient until the end of the 2020/21 Sky Bet League Two campaign.

The attacking winger will join up with the squad ahead of tomorrow’s game against Stevenage, and should be available for selection at The People’s Pension Stadium.

Much like James Tilley, Jordan is another Brighton & Hove Albion youth product, having played for Dagenham & Redbridge, Lincoln City, Coventry City and Wrexham on loan. Before leaving permanently to Leyton Orient in early 2019, where he made 58 league appearances, scoring 12 times.

Technical Director Erdem Konyar said, “Jordan is another local lad that has a good pedigree and EFL experience.

“He will give us an added boost in the offensive area, and it’s testament to our manager John Yems and Lee Bradbury; as we are building a side that players want to be a part of. This near enough completes our recruitment for January.”

Jordan will be available for tomorrow’s game against Stevenage.

He married Marilyn Bethune, of Wainwright, at 17 years of age and to this union came three beautiful children. Ervin's work of choice was the oilfield, he enjoyed everything from the rigs to the well operating in the industry. He was passionately interested in his hobby of collecting model cars and has a collection to be proud of. When Ervin fell on hard times with his health, he remained steadfast and strong in spirit and was always ready to welcome his coffee friends to his living room for a good visit. He was always encouraged by the love and support of his dear friends through the years. Even though work and hobbies were a huge part of Ervin, he will be remembered as a loyal and devoted husband, father, grandpa, brother, and friend.

Home Gaming Destiny 2 – How to get the Thunderlord heavy machine gun Exotic

Destiny 2 – How to get the Thunderlord heavy machine gun Exotic

2 min read

Thunder! LA LA LA LA LAAAA! THUNDER! Back in the days of the original Destiny, Bungie’s idea of any problem in the cosmos being solved by more bullets was best emphasised by the use of heavy machine guns. Essentially auto rifles with all of the bullets ever, these heavy lead-spitters were monsterous when Destiny first arrived.

And then they all vanished, because Dominus Ghaul is a jerk. Heavy Machine Guns will return in Destiny 2’s Black Armory update in December, but you won’t have long to wait to get a proper taste of these reworked death-dealers. A couple of weeks back, data-mining for The Festival of the Lost revealed that at least one quest would reward players with a reimagined Thunderlord. How do you get one? Here’s how…kind of.

How to start the quest for Thunderlord

Amanda Holliday wants to speak to you, so head on down to The Tower and find her in the hangar. Amanda will start you on a quest that is called Journal of the Reef Cryptarch, which will have you investigating just who was responsible for killing Master Ives over on the Reef.

Acquire Journal Pages

Thunderlord (1)

You’ll need to find several pages for the journal that Amanda hands you, which can be acquired from a number of sources: Decrypt legendary or Exotic engrams and take down powerful Fallen in the European Dead Zone. The second option is the easiest, as you can simply head down to the EDZ, wait for a Glimmer Excavation public event and score challenging Fallen kills right there in one go. Easy peasy, especially if you’re packing a Riskrunner in your arsenal.

Twiddle your thumbs

Thunderlord (2)

Yup. Completing the first step of Journal of the Reef Cryptarch will reward you with a message that Amanda needs time to crack the encryption on the pages, which according to the original data-mining source, is a process that will have players working at this quest for the next three weeks as multiple new steps are unlocked over several days.

I’ll update this list as those new steps are added, and I’ll also pray that one of those steps does not revolve around killing invading Guardians with a hand cannon in Gambit again. I’ve got OG Ace of PTSpades from that exotic quest.

Home Gaming Friday Debate: Should game concepts like Battle Royale be legally protected?

Friday Debate: Should game concepts like Battle Royale be legally protected?

2 min read

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds PUBG Corp. is busy trying to sue Epic games for the similarities in-game concepts between it, and the most popular game on the planet right now, Fortnite Battle Royale. Those concepts themselves aren’t entirely new, stemming from a Japanese movie called Battle Royale, that put dozens of children on an island with goal of being the last one standing – Basically, a precursor to The Hunger Games.

It brings up an interesting question in video games: Should those ideas be protected? While it’s obviously bad to outright clone things, is riffing on concepts a misstep enough to head for litigation? Up until now, it’s not been possible to copyright concepts, and that’s a good thing; we’d not have had Sonic after Mario had that been the case. In the 90’s we had a rush of so-called DOOM clones, that spawned some really good franchises of their own. Hell, God of War was effectively a westernized take on Devil May Cry. We’re just now moving out of the MOBA and Hero Shooter phases, with survival games being another genre of games that have been copied seemingly ad infinitum.

On the other hand, it does seem a little unfair that Epic specifically and blatantly nicked PUBG’s core concepts to revive its own struggling game, and has now become the bigger property by some margin.

Contra to that once again is the fact that it’s deserved: Epic has continually updated, optimized and better Fortnite, while PUBG has become an unoptimised haven for hackers and cheats.

Gamesindustry.biz’s Rob Fahey addresses this expertly, saying that it should be up to the market to decide, not up to the law. But what do you think? Should game concepts be as protected as intellectual property?

Kaseya did not pay ransom for decryptor, refused to ‘negotiate’ with REvil

Kaseya did not pay ransom for decryptor, refused to ‘negotiate’ with REvil

Kaseya did not negotiate with cyber criminals and pay a ransom following the REvil ransomware attack on July 2 which compromised about 60 MSPs and 1,500 end users.

On Monday, the vendor confirmed on its website that it “did not pay a ransom – either directly or indirectly through a third party – to obtain the decryptor.”

“While each company must make its own decision on whether to pay the ransom, Kaseya decided after consultation with experts to not negotiate with the criminals who perpetrated this attack and we have not wavered from that commitment,” an update on its website stated. “Recent reports have suggested that our continued silence on whether Kaseya paid the ransom may encourage additional ransomware attacks, but nothing could be further from our goal.”

The vendor last week obtained a REvil ransomware decryptor key that has helped unlock ransomed filed of some 1,500 impacted customers.

Colonial Pipeline paid US$4.3 million in ransom when it was hacked in May, but federal officials were able to seize majority of that ransom back.

Over the weekend, Kaseya’s incident response team and Emsisoft partners continued to assist customers restoring their data.

“The decryption tool has proven 100% effective at decrypting files that were fully encrypted in the attack,” the update stated. “Kaseya has maintained our focus on assisting our customers, and when Kaseya obtained the decryptor last week we moved as quickly as possible to safely use the decryptor to help our customers recover their encrypted data.”

Senator Markey Introduces the SPY Car Act to Regulate Automotive Cybersecurity

August 2015

On July 14, Senators Edward J. Markey (D-Mass) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) introduced the Security and Privacy in Your Car Act of 2015, or "SPY Car Act." The bill, which would amend both the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (49 U.S.C. § 30101, et seq.) and the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. § 41 et seq.), has two purposes:  (1) to create more secure vehicles, and (2) to better inform consumers about vehicle cybersecurity and the use of driving data.

The SPY Car Act seeks to achieve these goals by imposing both cybersecurity and labeling requirements on automotive manufacturers and by limiting the use of personal driving data. Specifically, if the bill were to pass in its current form, it would:

  • Require Federal Cybersecurity Standards for Vehicles: The bill establishes three categories of cybersecurity standards for vehicles—anti-hacking, data security, and threat detection.
    • Anti-hacking: anti-hacking measures must be in place for all "entry points1 to electronic systems." Further, manufacturers must incorporate "isolation measures" to separate "critical software systems," which affect the driver's control of vehicle movement, from non-critical software systems. These anti-hacking measures must also be evaluated for vulnerabilities, including through penetration testing, and adjusted and updated accordingly.
    • Data security: all driving data collected by electronic systems must be "reasonably secured" against unauthorized access.
    • Threat detection: any vehicle with an "entry point" must be able to "immediately detect, report, and stop attempts to intercept driving data or control the vehicle."
  • Establish Uniform Cybersecurity Labels for Vehicles: The SPY Car Act would add a "cyber dashboard" to the mandatory fuel economy label to inform consumers about the extent to which the vehicle provides cybersecurity and privacy protection. This dashboard must be "easy-to-understand" and "standardized."
  • Limit the Use of Personal Driving Data: The Act would amend the Federal Trade Commission Act to give the FTC authority to enforce privacy standards for motor vehicles and limit the use of personal driving data. All vehicles would have to provide "clear conspicuous notice, in clear and plain language" about the collection, transmission, retention and use of driving data. In addition, owners and lessees would have to be given the opportunity to terminate collection and retention of that data, and termination should not result in the loss of navigation or other features "to the extent technically possible." Finally, information collected by a motor vehicle could not be used for advertising and marketing purposes absent the consumer's express consent.

The SPY Car Act proposes that these requirements apply to all motor vehicles manufactured for sale in the United States two years after implementing regulations are enacted. Final regulations, per the SPY Car Act, would be in place three years after it is enacted. Thus, these requirements could take effect in approximately five years. In addition, the regulations would be reviewed and updated every three years.

The SPY Car Act is one of several recent signals that Congress's interest in the Internet of Things is heightening. One of the bill's sponsors, Senator Markey, has been a particularly vocal advocate of increased regulation in this space. In February of this year, he released a report titled, "Tracking and Hacking: Security & Privacy Gaps that Put American Drivers at Risk." Also in February, Senator Markey proposed federal automotive cybersecurity standards at the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation hearing examining the Internet of Things. Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE) and Representative Leonard Lance (R-NJ) have likewise introduced and passed resolutions in the Senate and House seeking to impose a national strategy for the Internet of Things to promote economic growth and consumer empowerment.

Manufacturers, marketers, and others should follow Congressional activity on these issues closely, as this is likely just the beginning of increasing federal interest and action in this space.

1 The Act defines "entry points" to include means by which "driving data" may be accessed or control signals may be sent or received. "Driving data" includes information about a vehicle's status (such as its location or speed) or its owners/operators/passengers.

Additional details

Sail Date: Mar 2020

We had saved for 2 years for this cruise to celebrate our 35th wedding .Two days before Saga wrote to us to advise the ship had the virus on board so they were doing a deep clean and therefore the cruise was to be delayed by 6 hours.When we got on board they appeared to be taking things very seriously over cleanlious but this was acceptable.We then found that there were no books in the library.no hydro pool ,no deck pool ,no crafts, and the entertainment disrupted.Guest speakers were cancelled at the last minute and virtually every public toilet was closed.We found that this was the fourth cruise in a row that the virus had been on.Virtually straight away the virus appeared again which meant the restrictions became even tighter.Washing hands before eating in the Grill being supervised by staff and hand sanitisation being done time and time again between courses.As the numbers increased the fear of getting the virus increased so 80 percent of the cruise was spent in the cabin.We regularly saw crew members in gowns and masks.During the cruise it was announced that the cruise would be cut short by 1 day and the overnight stay in Madeira where there was no Corona Virus .Instead they still went into Spain where the Coronavirus had taken off and still sent coach trips out.When we got back they only agreed to compensate for ! day lost and nothing else.They also cancelled every further cruise until May with full refunds.The staff were incredible keeping their good humour at all time.However we never saw any officers until the last day at sea.There was no captains cocktails.On the face of it the boat looked impressive but with co much plastic in the construction creaked and groaned all night.The saving grace was that all the cabins had balconies.Nearly all the seating in the public areas were for show not comfort, far too long in the seat and no back.Not enough cushions.We feel that the cruise was total disaster from start to finish.Saga should have canceled the cruise.They gave us insufficient warning which gave vunerarable elderly passengers no chance to check with their doctors that travel in these circumstances was ok.We will never go with Saga again and as my car insurance was due I have refused to renew that again.Having set off Saga should now be compensating passengers for the lack of amenities
