Carla Silver Executive Director, Leadership and Design
Jennifer Bryan's presentation at Harvard University was brilliant. She set just the right tone in engaging the audience in a discussion of important issues surrounding identity, sexuality, and gender. Her talk was extremely well received and we are already planning to invite her back. Using her recent book as focal point for the discussion, Dr. Bryan addressed a group of faculty, doctoral and masters students, and staff. Her delivery was captivating, her knowledge of the field deep, and her understanding of child and adolescent development broad. The audience of educators all agreed that they were better equipped to deal with these issues after hearing from Dr. Bryan. In fact, teachers, education administrators, parents and policy makers should all have the opportunity to engage with Dr. Bryan in these important discussions.

For GSS Losing Biodiversity chapter 7, Energy Use chapter 10. Excerpt: ...diesel is the single largest expense for the fishing industry and its biggest source of greenhouse gases. Not all fish have the same carbon finprint, however, and a new study reveals which ones take the most fuel to catch. Robert Parker, a Ph.D. student at the University of Tasmania, Hobart, in Australia, and Peter Tyedmers, an ecological economist at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, analyzed more than 1600 records of fuel use by fishing fleets worldwide. They ... reported online this month in Fish and Fisheries. 7. Sardines: 71 liters ...Icelandic herring and Peruvian anchovies are the least fuel-intensive industrial fisheries known, caught with just 8 liters of fuel per ton of fish. 6. Skipjack tuna: 434 liters ...5. Scallops: 525 liters ...4. North American salmon: 886 liters ...3. Pacific albacore: 1612 liters ...2. Sole: 2827 liters ...1. Shrimp and lobster: 2923 liters ...How does wild seafood compare with other kinds of animal protein? The median fuel use in the fisheries is 639 liters per ton. In terms of climate impact, that's equivalent to a bit more than 2 kilograms of carbon dioxide emitted for each kilogram of seafood landed. Chicken and farmed salmon and trout are roughly the same, but beef is significantly higher at 10 kg of carbon dioxide per kg of live animal. "If you're looking at having a green diet, you want to transition away from beef," Parker says.... http://news.sciencemag.org/climate/2014/07/what-seafood-guzzles-most-gas. by Erik Stokstad, Science.

Saudi Arabia's spring MERS surge continues, as we've seen new cases announced for 11 days in a row. So far, 35 cases have been reported in the month of March, with the bulk of those (n=21) coming from a cluster in and around Buraidah.
The (largely, but not exclusively) nosocomial Buraidah cluster continues to expand today with the addition of a 33 y.o. male expat listed in critical condition whose exposure is `under investigation'.
A second case today, this time from Hail, is a 60 y.o. male in critical condition, whose exposure is also listed as `under investigation'. Yesterday we saw another case from Hail (M,48) listed simply as a `primary exposure'.
`Primary cases' are those that occur in the community when there is no known exposure to a health care facility or to a known human case.
The MOH also reports two more deaths from the Buraidah cluster, which seems to be deadlier than usual. So far 9 of 18 symptomatic cases have died, including 4 patients in their 20's.
Nearly all have been listed as having (undefined) pre-existing illnesses, and this may well be contributing to the elevated mortality rate. Hopefully we'll get more details when the Saudis report these cases to the WHO.

What is osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is a disease that damages the slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones in a joint. This allows bones to rub together. The rubbing causes pain, swelling, and loss of motion of the joint. Over time, the joint may lose its normal shape.
The condition can cause bone spurs to grow on the edges of the joint. Bits of bone or cartilage can break off and float inside the joint space, which causes more pain and damage.
Unlike some other forms of arthritis, osteoarthritis affects only joints and not internal organs. It is the most common type of arthritis.
Who gets osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis occurs most often in older people. Younger people sometimes get the disease after joint injuries.
What are the symptoms of osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis can occur in any joint. It occurs most often in the hands, knees, hips, and spine. Warning signs are:
- Stiffness in a joint after getting out of bed or sitting for a long time.
- Swelling or tenderness in one or more joints.
- A crunching feeling or the sound of bone rubbing on bone.
What causes osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis usually happens gradually over time. Some things that might make it more likely include:
- Being overweight.
- Getting older.
- Joint injury.
- Joints that are not properly formed.
- A genetic defect in joint cartilage.
- Stresses on the joints from certain jobs and playing sports.
Is there a test for osteoarthritis?
Most doctors use several methods to diagnose the disease and rule out other problems:
- Medical history.
- Physical exam.
- X-rays of the bone or images of the soft tissues in the joint.
- Other tests such as blood tests or exams of the fluid in the joints.
How is osteoarthritis treated?
There are many treatments that can help relieve pain and help you live with osteoarthritis. You should talk to your doctor about the best treatments for you, which can include:
- Medicines.
- Nondrug pain relief techniques.
- Complementary and alternative therapies.
- Surgery.
Who treats osteoarthritis?
Treating osteoarthritis requires a team effort involving you and several types of health care professionals. These may include:
- Primary care doctors, such as a family physician or internal medicine specialist, who coordinates care between the different health providers and treats other problems as they arise.
- Rheumatologists, who specialize in arthritis and other diseases of the bones, joints, and muscles.
- Orthopaedists, who specialize in treatment and surgery for bone and joint diseases.
- Physical therapists, who help improve joint function.
- Occupational therapists, who teach ways to protect joints, minimize pain, perform activities of daily living, and conserve energy.
- Dietitians, who teach about good diets and maintaining a healthy weight.
- Nurse educators, who help you understand your condition and help start treatment plans.
- Rehabilitation specialists, who help you make the most of your physical potential.
- Licensed acupuncture therapists, who reduce pain and improve physical functioning by inserting fine needles into the skin at specific points on the body.
- Psychologists or social workers, who help with social challenges caused by medical conditions.
- Chiropractors, who focus treatment on the relationship between the body's structure, mainly the spine, and its functioning.
- Massage therapists, who press, rub, and otherwise manipulate the muscles and other soft tissues of the body.
Living with osteoarthritis
There are some things you can do to help you live with osteoarthritis, including:
- Exercise can reduce joint pain and stiffness. It also helps with losing weight, which reduces stress on the joints. You should speak to your doctor about a safe, well-rounded exercise program.
- Weight control, particularly losing weight, can reduce stress on joints.
- Heat and cold therapies can reduce joint pain and swelling.
- Nutritional supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate may help improve symptoms in some people.
- Patient education programs, arthritis self-management programs, and arthritis support groups can help you learn about self-care and improve your good-health attitude.

My kind of newbie zone
Immersion is a big thing with me. I want the world to feel like a real and dynamic world. I doubt it could ever really be that way but certain bits of design help create the illusion that the world is real and some bits of design erm...don't. For example you leave your starter city, enter your race/faction's newbie zone with nice farms and villages and it's swarming with monsters, bandits and wild beasties. It makes no sense. You find a farm with lots of aggro beetles, the farmer says "help", you take the quest to get the beetles, the farmer says "thanks the farm should be safe now" but nothing has changed, the beetles are still there respawning happily as thousands of players "save the farm" one after the other but nothing actually changes. Didn't bother me when i first started these games but now it's really annoying.
What i'd like...you leave your starter city and enter your newbie zone. let's say it goes east-west with a north-south river down the middle and the newbie bit is on the near side with some guards by the bridge. Some guards wander back and forth along the roads. All very peaceful. No monsters. That's the point of all those guards and of your character being an adventurer / warrior / priest / whatever for your faction. This peaceful farmy area is what you're defending, what your char is supposed to help protect.
There'd be villagy type quests (i'd call little tasks, tasks or jobs or something, save the word quest for epics) for newbie type characters like harvesting hay from the fields or finding a lost sheep. The main point of these would be to add to the sense of it being a real world with NPC's doing their individual jobs. Of course there'd need to be stuff to fight as well of but what I'd do is something like:
1) Three farms each with a granary building. Each of them would have an NPC outside and a portal with a mission to kill some big rats that have got in amongst the grain but only one would be active at a time and the NPC would wave at you if the task was active (no exclamation marks). You'd take the task, zone into the granary and fight the rats -- there'd be a condition for victory i.e all the rats need to be dead at the same time e.g 6 respawning rats but if you have them all dead at once then you get a win). You come out and get your reward and that mission is now inactive for a while at that granary. You did it. You stopped the rat problem. The world changed slightly. The guy doesn't just beckon over another player/group. There's a timer and after x amount of time one of the three granary NPC's goes active again and the same task becomes live again. The immersion is still ok because this is the kind of problem that could recur in a fantasy world but your actions would have made a temporary change. Small thing in
a way but i'd really like it.
2) Instead of permanently respawning beetles on the beetle farm quest you get a dynamic thing where there's a timer and when it goes active a model of a big hole spawns on one of the fields and beetles start to spawn on a farm. Farmer waving and shouting. Get quest to do something about it. Killing beetles maybe gets you some faction or something, or killing them all before one has respawned sets a flag that stops them respawning for a while (timed) and you get a better reward. Third option get into a group and go into the hole for a mini dungeon with a beetle queen mini boss. Kill the queen and the hole despawns and the beetles stop respawning. Get nice reward and the world is changed a bit for a while. On a timer again so after each time a group kills a beetle queen there's say three game days clear of beetles then a random chance each game day of another eruption on one of the three farms (random) and only one at a time.
3) Semi-remote section of road a little bit away from the safe farmy area where some bandits spawn. Same as the beetles they'd be a dynamic event where three would spawn in a little camp in some nearby trees and three along the road robbing travellers. You could get a task to deal with them -- could even make it so you could go tell the guards and they'd come with you to help get the bandits and you'd get a small reward or you could deal with the bandits yourself / grouped and get a bigger reward. As before, the trigger for winning would be having all six bandits dead at once, they'd respawn normally until you had all six dead at once and that would stop the spawn for three game days and then every game day after that there'd be a random chance of it starting again.
Win all three of these in your newbie days and get title "defender of newbieshire". Titles are fun.
Obviously the problem with this sort of thing is the content is not available to everyone all the time but I'd still like it anyway. You'd need something else that was always available but which didn't make your supposedly well defended farmy area look like it was a monster convention.
So on top of the dynamic bits I'd have a couple of newbie dungeons attached the safe area. So maybe in the section to the south of your safe farmy bit there'd be some low wooded hills that leads to a portal to the "deep forest" zone. Bit like the Old forest in Lotro, setting up a foresty area like a dungeon. Setting it up that way keeps the illusion of your main area being safe and defended. In the north section of the newbie zone i'd have a little wall with gate guards leading to some goblin caves. Again keeping the illusion of your faction actually defending it's terriotory from whoever they consider the baddies.
These two newbie dungeons could actually cover a large level range just as long as there's a good-sized section for lowbies. Blackburrow and Crushbone were two of thebest bits in EQ1 from a design point of view imo in the way they drew all the newbie players from the nearby starter areas and got them all forming groups etc. I'm very much a solo explorer type player by inclination but even I ended up grouping a lot in those dungeons and all my long-term socializing in EQ1 started there. It was easy to solo but it was also easy to slip into grouping too and you sort of switched from one to the other. Very good examples of the sort of zones that spark off the social aspects of these games, especially early on with new players.
So in a way my ideal newbie zone would include a lot of wasted space from a normal MMORPG point of view but the point of it would be to make the world feel more real. I think the immersion of that would be a good trade. You'd come staggering out of the newbie dungeon or deep forest zone with your loot and you'd be back in safe terriotory, not constantly dodging bears every 100 feet until you got back to the village.

I said softly,
words never meant,
but words wanted,
I corrupted myself,
for something I never wanted,
I gave,
when giving was not needed,
you there,
you judge,
you plot,
you cannibalize the meaning,
regurgitate it into something else,
you paint me into the villain,
when all I ever was,
was a lost soul,
looking for comfort from the cold.

After several years with the company, he worked as a cutting tool technical representative for Sandvik Coromant, as a programmer for several other manufacturing companies, as a technical support engineer for another CAM software product, and also returned as a programming manager for the company he did his apprenticeship with. Mike has programmed anything from vintage aircraft components, vacuum, investment casting, and injection dies through to surgical equipment and custom implants and complex product prototypes.
Conversant with most common CNC controls and several CAD/CAM/NC verification products, Mike has a reputation in New Zealand of being a very experienced programmer, specialising in most technical aspects of this field. He counts many companies up and down the country among his customers who come to him for technical support when and where required.
It was through his previous experience and frustration with various CAM software products, and companies supplying them, that he began looking for a product that was both powerful enough to support the complex multi-axis and multi-tasking machine tools coming into the market, and yet its ease of use made it very productive in creating NC programmes. Through discussions with his colleagues worldwide, he decided that Missler Software's TopSolid software provided all those requirements, and more.
AxsysCNC's main customers consist of a varied range of manufacturing companies throughout New Zealand, from small workshops consisting of only four or five employees, through to large companies with over two hundred employees.
Mike Neville declared: "AxsysCNC is proud to have been appointed New Zealand reseller of Missler TopSolid, and looks forward to providing the manufacturing industry in New Zealand with the benefits that this product brings."
Patrick Martin, Business Unit Manager ASIA explains "I was looking for a Metal Distributor in New-Zealand and finally had the pleasure to meet Mike as it is always difficult to find some good people. His technical knowledge & sales background enabled him to quickly familiarize himself with TopSolid 7 by obtaining two first orders, one in 3-axis milling and the second in mill-turning.
This second order is a key reference as it will also be a pilot reference from 2.5D to mill-turning modules, which will be shown to all future NZ prospects.
Mike did not hesitate to bring one of his customer to Chicago for training purposes and complete his own training with MS Inc. staff.
It is important to score the first goals as for soccer to gain confidence and I am sure that we will do some good work with Mike in that region, "Down-Under"."

Do you shop online? Have you ever heard about Amazon? Well, Amazon is an American company that is concerned with electronic buying and selling of goods. Recently, they have also embraced cloud computing to give individuals and businesses astounding storage technology.
Amazon is the leading retail outlet in the world. Initially, they only sold books but now they have extended their sales to other products. The company has different websites in various countries, which helps to lower their delivery cost.
Technology is Key
Amazon was ranked the best retailer in the world in 2015 beating its chief rival Walmart. Being a company that is flexible and open to new technologies, they are always out there releasing new products and services tailored to suit their customer needs.
Jeff Bezos found Amazon in 1994. Over the years, it has repeatedly performed better with regards to profit and revenue. Currently, it is one of the biggest companies in the world. Their website attracts over 600 million visits per year. As the company continues to embrace technology to produce new stuff and open new subsidiaries, its growth continues at a startling rate.
If you are a smartphone user, Amazon has some mobile technology for you. They have developed an app to help you browse through catalogues to look for what you want. You can also shop by department and check out for great deals using the same app! As if that is not enough, you can review and share products with your friends using the same app. Wow!
Now if you are using Amazon for your digital storage, they have another app for you, Amazon Drive. The app gives you easy access to your documents, photos and videos that you have stored in the cloud. Your documents remain secure even after you have lost your device or it is damaged. You can imagine how stressful it is to lose important documents. If you have ever been in such a mess, Amazon should be your friend.
Customer service is their DNA
Their customer service is amazing. You can contact them whenever you have a problem. For quick service, you should call the Amazon UK customer service number and someone will be waiting on the other end to speak to you. Some of the reasons you might want to call them include:
- You ordered an item and it has not been delivered
- To register your complains about a buyer or a seller
- You received a damaged product
- Your account has problems
- To report any fraud on your account
For users who are unfamiliar with shopping platforms, Amazon has developed a Copilot for you. To enjoy its services, you need to contact the company and request them to activate it. They will help you through the shopping. With time, you will get familiar with the shopping platforms and be able to navigate without assistance.
Amazon has revolutionized online shopping through technology in a way that was never thought before. Check it out!

My Life as a Courgette
If you haven't seen My Life as a Courgette yet, I would recommend giving it a watch.
It's a beautifully crafted stop motion animation film by Swiss filmmaker Claude Barras. The film is about a small boy who likes to be named 'Courgette'. It especially resonated with me because of the film's similar themes to Studio Meineck's project, trove.
trove explores how precious objects can hold important stories for children in care and adopted children, to help support their sense of identity.
Courgette's mum in the film is an alcoholic. To escape his difficult home life he spends his time collecting her beer cans, making them into towers and drawing beautifully on his walls. When he is moved into an orphanage, he takes a keepsake of his mum – one of the beer cans. He keeps the beer can under his bed with his other treasured object, a kite that he's made.
Objects can be important when transitioning between places. A treasured object which is familiar in unfamiliar settings, especially for children that are moving homes and situations, can be the most important thing to help the child feel secure at the time.
A treasured object or keepsake can also be useful to reflect back on when things are more stable. Even if the object brings back negative as well as positive memories it is intrinsic that the object is kept safe and looked after.
Eventually in My Life as a Courgette, the beer can gets transformed into something positive, the object itself has transformed meaning just as Courgette's life has changed. The beer can still represents what it used to, but the form is different.
With my work with children in care, I have understood how important physical objects can be, how they can transform meaning as they travel with you, and how important they are to keep safe.
trove is a keepsake box for children in care, a self-curated and narrated treasure chest for children's most precious things. A place for them to keep their special objects safe and to record memories to accompany the objects.
The trove project has just been awarded follow on funding from the AHRC. The eighteen month will be a collaboration between Studio Meineck, the University of Bristol, a children's charity, a local authority and a therapeutic residential school. By the end of the project we will have a further developed prototype that will be ready for a larger pilot with children in care and adopted children.
Watch the video below for more information about trove.

Business Columns & Blogs
Republicans should gladly pay for my preexisting condition
It's a question I encounter frequently when I discuss health care with conservatives, particularly after I note that I have a chronic and costly preexisting condition, Type 1 diabetes.
"Why should I pay for your health care?" they ask.
The question came up again the other day as I awaited an overpriced latte at a Hollywood coffee shop. A fellow patron recognized me (always flattering) and struck up a conversation about the latest Republican effort to repeal and replace Obamacare.
I totally get where conservatives are coming from, especially in this "America First" era where the interests of others are a secondary consideration. And it's a fair question.
I'm the one with the disease, after all, and I'm the one facing thousands of dollars in annual medical costs. How is that anyone else's problem?
The guy at the coffee shop was thrilled with the legislation that was on the table that day. (Ultimately, the Graham-Cassidy bill was pulled when it became clear it lacked the 51 votes in the Senate to move forward.) The government has no business telling him what to buy, he insisted, and he shouldn't have to pay more to cover sick people. He knew I had diabetes and said he was sorry for me, but that wasn't his lookout.
"The Greeks had a word for this – hubris," said Gerald Kominski, director of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research. "The idea that you shouldn't have to pay for other people's health insurance because you're healthy, that's just insane. Bad things can happen to anyone."
He added: "I'm a good driver. But I still need to have automobile insurance. Just in case."
Risk management
What conservatives overlook is that insurance isn't about health care or car crashes or damage to the home. It's about risk management. It's about mitigating risk for the greatest number of people at the lowest possible cost.
"The healthy person is subsidizing the unhealthy one," said Allen Goodman, a health care economist at Wayne State University. "That's the straight economic argument."
At its most efficient, a health care risk pool includes the entire population – young and old, sick and healthy. This is how other developed countries do it with variations of single-payer insurance systems that guarantee affordable coverage to all.
"If there is a 1 in a million chance of a bad thing happening, it makes sense for a million people to come together and pool their risk," said Guy David, an associate professor of health care management at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.
The Graham-Cassidy bill seemed to envision what economists call a segmented insurance market that separates the healthy from the sick. For young and healthy people, this is beneficial because costs are lower.
For those with medical issues, a segmented market guarantees sky-high premiums and high deductibles because their costs aren't offset by premiums from the more fortunate.
"It is clear that individuals who are healthy might benefit financially from a risk-segmentation approach when they are healthy," said David Grabowski, a professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School. "In the short run, they don't have to pay for someone else's health care.
Can't predict the future
"However, we know that one's health – and the health of one's family members – can change quickly," he said. "An approach that shares risks across the healthy and the sick protects the healthy should they become sick."
There it is.
Health insurance – all insurance – isn't intended to reflect where you are in life. It's intended to anticipate what could happen in the future.
"If you end up in the unlucky situation of getting cancer, you will be relying on other people to cross-subsidize your care, and you will be glad of it," said Ashley Hodgson, an associate professor of economics at St. Olaf College in Minnesota.
So to my new friend from the coffee shop as well as to all conservatives: that's why you pay for my health care.
Because I'm gladly paying for yours.
And you want that.

In the past, the thought of having to get braces was something that no one looked forward to. Although the benefits of having braces were clear, many potential patients were reluctant to undergo the procedure because of the cosmetic appearances. Just the thought of having wires and metal brackets in the mouth was enough to turn the toughest adult into a scared timid five-year-old child.
Introducing Clear Braces
Most people when they find out they may be potential patients for braces usually associate this with embarrassment and being made fun of. After all a smile is usually the first thing that you recognize when you meet another person and most people don't want this to be associated with a mouth full of metal. Clear braces when worn are virtually invisible and can be removed at any time by the wearer. Not only are these types of braces more cosmetically appealing they do just as good as good a job, if not better, at straightening teeth as conventional braces.
Straight teeth are an essential part of maintaining good overall oral health as they allow fewer gaps in the teeth for food to become trapped within. Teeth that have wide gaps allow food to be trapped between them, and that eventually spawns bacteria that not only destroy the gums but also the enamel of the teeth.
Supported by Dentists
If you have been recommended for braces by your dentist you should consider clear braces as an option to conventional metal braces. Clear braces are supported 100% by the dental professionals everywhere as one of the best procedures that can be used to straighten teeth while also promoting good oral hygiene. These braces have redefined what it means to have your teeth straightened. Not only will they straighten your teeth they will also give you a vibrant and healthy smile that is sure to make others envious.
Advantages of clear braces
- easily removable by the wearer allowing easy access for brushing and flossing
- minimal food buildup and spaces between the gums and teeth
- no embarrassing feelings of wearing them as they are virtually invisible
- increased oral hygiene over metal braces
- straighten teeth effectively and in less time than metal braces
- more comfortable to wear than metal braces
One thing that should be noted is that there are certain foods that are not recommended to be consumed with clear braces or conventional metal braces. In addition to the foods you should not consume when wearing metal braces, clear braces have an additional listing of foods that may stain them and it is not recommended that you do so. The following food and beverages may stain clear braces:
- coffee
- strawberries
- tea
- dark colored sodas
- red wine
- cranberry juice
- popsicles
- tomato sauce
This list is by no means inclusive of every food that may stain your new braces. You should be aware of which foods you're eating and make frequent observations to ensure that they are not staining your braces. Clear braces are a comfortable and discreet way for you to straighten your teeth without compromising the appearance of your smile. Not only will you be able to straighten your teeth with these braces but you will also improve your oral hygiene as well as your overall health.

There's this girl Holly, I consider her my friend. She has a wife, Alex, who I also consider my friend, although we are not Facebook buddies yet. :)
A year and a half ago, they decided that it was time to start a family. As they filled out their adoption forms, they got to that little box that asked if they would consider adopting a child with Down syndrome. That little box got one big tick. It was meant to be, this plan had actually been in the works for a very long time; this was their destiny. A baby with Down syndrome would be a blessing. A baby with Down syndrome would be a beautiful gift, a welcomed addition to their family.
BUT WAIT!!! You are gay!
Recently, Holly was approached by ABC Online and asked if she would be willing to share their story. This was their chance to show the world that adoption is giving a family the chance to raise a child. This gives families the chance to love unconditionally and with a love so deep and true. This gives families the opportunity to save a life, to care for a child who would otherwise be put through our system.
"Whether your children are yours through biology or adoption, they are yours through love." - Sadia Rebecca Rodriguez
"We loved you before we knew you…even when there was just HOPE for you – we loved you." - Unknown
"Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother." – Oprah Winfrey
BUT WAIT! You are gay!
As I read the article, my heart swelled for Holly, Alex and Jaxson. It was beautifully written, it was touching and filled with love. The article ended with "He is our perfection. And he has Down syndrome."
Such a wonderful ending to a beautiful story.
I continued reading.
"Because there is a constant glorification that it's okay for a child to be raised without a mother and a father - and it's not okay. Children need both a mother and father to thrive. Other arrangements should not be encouraged or glorified."
"Drown all three of them..."
"They're angry, "in-your-face" types who needed to top simply being a lesbian couple in order to compete in the "more accepting than thou" crowd.
I just hope the little boy is treated well and doesn't suffer from being employed as a prop."
"Reminds me of dog parks in the city where all the hipsters hang out and try to one up each other on who's adopted mutt was the most destitute prior to being adopted."
"Also reminds me of the old Modern Family episode where the gay couple tries to get their adopted Asian daughter into some elite, selective preschool. They're thinking it's a lock because they're gay AND they adopted foreign, and then they see a lesbian couple roll up with one in a wheelchair and an African baby for the next interview.
Lesbian wheelchair couple with an African kicker.....how can you beat that??" I lolled, that was a funny."
"I don't understand, why did they adopt and not just have a child naturally?"
"The child's physical limitations are nothing compared to the unnecessary emotional damages of being raised by two mommies and no father. These two are selfish people."
Not too long ago, a lady from a religious group showed up at my door. Although I was polite and took part in the discussion about God, I don't agree with others selling their religion. It bothers me. I told her that I was a catholic school teacher for ten years. This did nothing to dissuade her. She continued to sell her religion. She asked me if I read the scriptures and if she thought that our world was in danger, would it come to an abrupt end.
I remember looking at her and feeling confused by her comments. I recall sitting in religion class with my students. I clearly remember telling them to be a good person to others. Be kind to others. This is what God wants from all of us.
I talked to the lady at the door about Adele. She wasn't very responsive. She talked about her scriptures. I stopped her. I told her that my friends Holly and Alex, who are gay, adopted a child with Down syndrome. His name is Jaxson. She took a step back. I told her that this adorable miracle has been welcomed into the most loving and beautiful home. I told her that all God wants is for us to be good to one another. Be kind to one another. She left.
As I read the comments under Holly's article, I was disgusted and appalled by the lack of support, education and was wondering how others can be so ignorant.
"A family should only consist of a mother and father." I have been in many homes; homes that are filled with hate, abuse and neglect, but there was a mother and a father. I guess this is ok. A child will thrive in an unhealthy home because there is a mother and a father. A child will find their way and succeed in an unsafe home because there is a mother and a father.
Jaxson would do better in foster care? When you read Holly's blog, when you look at pictures, when you hear about the trips; you know that this child could not have possibly been placed in a better home. I know that Holly and Alex focused on the positive and supportive comments, but it's difficult to look past those who lack knowledge and awareness. It's hurtful.
Two wonderful women adopted a boy with Down syndrome. Two beautiful women opened up their home to a boy with Down syndrome. Two women have filled their home with love, respect and joy.
The definition of a family:
- a basic social unit consisting of parents and their children, considered as a group, whether dwelling together or not
- a social unit consisting of one or more adults together with the children they care for
A family is a unit where children are cared for, loved, they feel safe and respected. A family is any sexual orientation, any race, any religion, any socio-economic status.
As I travel on this journey with Adele, I have met some incredible people. I have been fortunate enough to become friends with Holly and Alex. Shame on those whose views are clouded by ignorance and a lack of education. Shame on those who can't see that loves comes in all forms. Love is love. The love that surrounds Jaxson is overwhelmingly perfect.
I never wanted to stoop to the low levels of those who wrote the above comments, BUT.....
I just wanted to end this post with something that I told Holly last night.
Why are some people so weird and unhealthy and unhappy and assholes and rude and disrespectful? Why oh why? Don't judge others. Take the time to learn about their journey. Be kind.

When you think about the offerings of an airport, its chairs may not be something that instinctively comes to mind. However, if you've visited Terminal 4 (T4), Changi Airport's newest terminal, you may have noticed its bright and colourful chairs – all 30 different types of them, in an assortment of about 40 fabrics, leathers, patterns and colours! Here are some interesting highlights of these quirky chairs that can be found in both the public and transit areas of the terminal.
The little details that make you feel right at home
Upholstered in a combination of solid colours and floral patterns, these chairs come with character... and for some, a nifty side table, complete with charging points.
Those with an eye for detail might realise there's something distinctly different in the way the chairs in T4 are arranged. As compared to the other terminals, you'll discover that resting in one of these chairs feels almost like being at home! Having drawn inspiration from the warm and welcoming hotel lounges, the chairs have been arranged in cosy seating clusters so that people can fully relax and feel at ease.
A unique twist (literally) to the more traditional benches.
Apart from lounge seats, explore the other kinds of chairs all around the terminal that are equally comfortable and eye-catching, such as the plush sofas and quirky spiral seats.
Inspired by hotel lounges, these plush sofas are great for sharing seats with friends, loved ones, or even strangers you've just met!
These chairs are extra heavy duty – the fabrics they're made of withstand up to 100,000 'rubs'!
Fabrics are coated with water repellent coating to prevent damage or staining from spills.
Besides its intriguing shapes and attractive colours and patterns, these chairs are highly durable as well. As the chairs need to be able to withstand heavy usage by Changi Airport's passengers over many years, the fabrics used were chosen for their high durability. In fact, a "rub count" test was done for each fabric before it was chosen. During this test, a mechanised arm rubs a piece of heavy canvas over the test fabric back and forth repeatedly. It is only after the fabric starts to show significant wear that its rub count is determined – in the case of T4 chairs, up to 100,000 double rubs!
Stretch of fabric is especially important for such plush seats.
You might also find that the chairs in T4 bounce back to its original shape quickly after it's vacated – that's because there was special attention paid to the 'stretch' of the fabric, to ensure that these seats are always in tip-top form. There are also chairs around the terminal designed for passengers with reduced mobility, such as chairs that are not too low and with arm rests.
You can find chicken and dog-shaped chairs in the terminal, among other fascinating shapes
Both the young and young at heart will revel in the animal-shaped chairs near the Heritage Zone.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the Peranakan Love Story at the Heritage Zone.
With a whopping 4,844 seats in T4, you can also find "signature" seats all around to enhance the surroundings of the different areas in the terminal.
At the Heritage Zone, watch the Peranakan Love Story in the comfort of large lounge seats or cushy sofas. Little ones can also have some fun on the vibrant-coloured chairs, in the shape of dogs and chicks in the same area.
There is also a towering spiral chair in vivid orange – the perfect backdrop for pictures!
From animals to nature, the designs of T4's chairs are whimsical yet functional and comfortable.
The colours of the chairs do more than just brightening up the terminal
Besides lifting the look of the boarding area, these coloured seats serve as markers too.
The design of the terminal allows for generous amounts of natural light to stream in. The sunlight, coupled with the brightly-coloured chairs, gives T4 a bright and welcoming feel. The colours of the chairs have a practical purpose too!
For example, as the areas around T4's boarding gates do not have any physical separation between them, the seat colours are used to create identifiable clusters. This special feature helps passengers identify the different areas to relax in, while waiting to board their flights.
Whether it's the colours, designs, or even the fabric patterns, do take the time to explore T4 and its quirky chairs. Better yet, bring your friends and loved ones so that you'll feel right at home!
