U.S. Calls Radiation 'Extremely High,' Sees Japan Nuclear Crisis Worsening
By DAVID E. SANGER, MATTHEW L. WALD and HIROKO TABUCHI
Published: March 16, 2011
WASHINGTON — The chairman of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission gave a far bleaker appraisal on Wednesday of the threat posed by Japan's nuclear crisis than the Japanese government had offered. He said American officials believed that the damage to at least one crippled reactor was much more serious than Tokyo had acknowledged, and he advised Americans to stay much farther away from the plant than the perimeter established by Japanese authorities.
The announcement opened a new and ominous chapter in the five-day-long effort by Japanese engineers to bring the six side-by-side reactors under control after their cooling systems were knocked out by an earthquake and a tsunami last Friday. It also suggested a serious split between Washington and its closest Asian ally at an especially delicate moment.
The Congressional testimony by Gregory Jaczko, the chairman of the commission, was the first time the Obama administration had given its own assessment of the condition of the plant, apparently mixing information it had received from Japan with data it had collected independently.
Mr. Jaczko's most startling assertion was that there was now little or no water in the pool storing spent nuclear fuel at the No. 4 reactor of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, leaving fuel rods stored there exposed and bleeding radiation into the atmosphere.
As a result, he said, "We believe that radiation levels are extremely high, which could possibly impact the ability to take corrective measures."
His statement was quickly but not definitively rebutted by officials of Tokyo Electric Power, the Daiichi's plant's operator, and Japan's nuclear regulatory agency.
"We can't get inside to check, but we've been carefully watching the building's environs, and there has not been any particular problem," said Hajime Motojuku, a spokesman for Tokyo Electric.
Later Thursday, a spokesman for Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, Yoshitaka Nagayama, was more equivocal, saying, "Because we have been unable to go the scene, we cannot confirm whether there is water left or not in the spent fuel pool at Reactor No. 4."
At the same time, officials did raise concern about two other reactors where spent fuel rods were stored, Nos. 5 and 6, saying they had experienced a slight rise in temperature.
On Wednesday night, Mr. Jaczko reiterated his earlier statement and added that commission representatives in Tokyo had confirmed that the pool was empty. He said Tokyo Electric and other officials in Japan had confirmed that, and also stressed that high radiation fields were going to make it very difficult to continue having people work at the plant.
If the American analysis is accurate and emergency crews at the plant have been unable to keep the spent fuel at that inoperative reactor properly cooled — it needs to remain covered with water at all times — radiation levels could make it difficult not only to fix the problem at reactor No. 4, but to keep servicing any of the other problem reactors at the plant. In the worst case, experts say, workers could be forced to vacate the plant altogether, and the fuel rods in reactors and spent fuel pools would be left to meltdown, leading to much larger releases of radioactive materials.
While radiation levels at the plant have varied tremendously, Mr. Jaczko said that the peak levels reported there "would be lethal within a fairly short period of time." He added that another spent fuel pool, at Reactor No. 3, might also be losing water and could soon be in the same condition.
On Thursday morning, Japan's Self-Defense Forces started dumping water from a helicopter on reactor No. 3, making four passes. They planned to do the same for No. 4 sometime Thursday.
On Wednesday, the American Embassy in Tokyo, on advice from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, told Americans to evacuate a radius of "approximately 50 miles" from the Fukushima plant.
The advice to Americans in Japan represents a graver assessment of the risk in the immediate vicinity of Daiichi than the warnings made by the Japanese themselves, who have told everyone within 20 kilometers, about 12 miles, to evacuate, and those 20 to 30 kilometers to take shelter. While maps of the plume of radiation being given off by the plant show that an elongated cloud will stretch across the Pacific, American officials said it would be so dissipated by the time it reached the West Coast of the United States that it would not pose a health threat.
"We would recommend an evacuation to a much larger radius than has currently been provided by Japan," Mr. Jaczko said. That assessment seems bound to embarrass, if not anger, Japanese officials, suggesting they have miscalculated the danger or deliberately played down the risks.
It was not immediately clear how many people live within the zone around the plant that American officials believed should be evacuated. But the zone gets far closer to the city of Sendai, with its population of one million, which took the brunt of the earthquake last week.
At a hearing on Wednesday, Senator Barbara Boxer, chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, pointed out that 50 miles could take in a huge number of people; San Onofre, in her home state, California, has seven million people living within that radius, she said.
American officials who have been dealing with their Japanese counterparts report that the country's political and bureaucratic leadership has appeared frozen in place, unwilling to communicate clearly about the scope of the problem and, in some cases, unwilling to accept outside assistance. Two American officials said they believed that the Japanese government itself was not getting a clear picture from the Tokyo Electric Power Company.
"Everything in their system is built to build consensus slowly," said one American official who would not be quoted by name because of the delicacy of discussions with Japan. "And everything in this crisis is about moving quickly. It's not working."
United States Air Force officials announced Wednesday that a Global Hawk remotely piloted surveillance plane would be sent on missions over Japan to help the government assess damage from the earthquake and the tsunami. A Pentagon official said the drone was expected to fly over the stricken nuclear plant.
American officials were careful to offer no public comparisons to past nuclear accidents when discussing the Fukushima disaster. But clearly the crisis in Japan already far outstrips what happened at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, where very little radiation escaped a crippled reactor. The effort now is to keep the Japanese crisis, involving at least three reactors that had been in active use before the quake, and three others that were inactive but had storage pools for spent fuel, from escalating to the levels of the worst nuclear disaster in history: Chernobyl.
Though the plant's reactors shut down automatically when the quake struck on Friday, the subsequent tsunami wiped out the backup electronic pumping and cooling system necessary to keep the fuel rods in the reactors and the storage pools for spent nuclear fuel covered with cool water.
The spent fuel pools can be even more dangerous than the active fuel rods, as they are not contained in thick steel containers like the reactor core. As they are exposed to air, the zirconium metal cladding on the rods can catch fire, and a deadly mix of radioactive elements can spew into the atmosphere. The most concern surrounds Cesium-137, which has a half-life of 30 years and can get into food supplies or be inhaled.
Mr. Jaczko (pronounced YAZZ-koe) said radiation levels might make it impossible to continue what he called the "backup backup" cooling functions that have so far helped check the fuel melting inside the reactors. Those efforts consist of using fire hoses to dump water on overheated fuel and then letting the radioactive steam vent into the atmosphere.
Those emergency measures, carried out by a small squad of workers and firefighters, represent Japan's central effort to forestall a full-blown fuel meltdown that would lead to much higher releases of radioactive material into the air.
Mr. Jaczko's testimony, the most extended comments by a senior American official on Japan's nuclear disaster, described what amounts to an agonizing choice for Japanese authorities: keep sending workers into an increasingly contaminated area in a last-ditch effort to cover nuclear fuel with water, or do more to protect the workers but risk letting the pools boil away — and thus risk a broader meltdown.
According to Tokyo Electric's data, the spent fuel pool at the No. 4 reactor contains 548 fuel assemblies that were in use at the reactor until last November, when they were move to the storage pool on the site. That means that the fuel rods were only recently taken out of active use and that their potential to burn and release radioactivity is higher than spent fuel in storage for a longer period.
Experts say workers at the plant probably could not approach a fuel pool that was dry, because radiation levels would be too high. In a normally operating pool, the water not only provides cooling but also shields workers from gamma radiation.
Earlier in the day, Japanese authorities announced a different escalation of the crisis at Daiichi when they said that a second reactor unit at the plant, No. 3, might have suffered damage to its primary containment structure and appeared to be releasing radioactive steam.

No one wins a trade war. President Trump seems to be oblivious to this well established fact. His tariffs on European imports have barely been addressed.
By James DiGeorgia
The central strategy of pressing a trade war against all of our allies is to hit them hard with huge tariffs until they submit under the pain to all of President Trump's demands. Much like a bully that beats you up every day for lunch money and when you just give up and give it to him without any argument the bully decided you coat and sneakers are just too good for you to keep, so he takes your lunch money, sneakers, and coat.
Trump's tariffs are beginning to hurt our European allies; economic growth in the eurozone has fallen to its slowest pace in more than four years. Italy is not growing at all, according to figures released Tuesday. The snapshot of the economic slowdown underway is likely to sharpen political divisions in the European Union and is making Europe's equity and bond markets even more vulnerable than they are dealing with BREXIT.
Eurozone growth in the quarter was running just half as fast as it had been in the previous three-month period, but they ugly reality is the rate of growth has fallen each of the last three quarters.
Italy's stagnation is especially worse as it's not just dealing with increased U.S. tariffs and Great Britain Brexit but is likely also tied to the heighten dispute between the populist government in Rome and officials in Brussels.
The European Commission has said that Italy's proposed budget — full of debt-financed welfare programs — flouts spending limits that countries in the European Union are supposed to observe.
You don't have to be Italian to be worried about the economic and social repercussions of President Trump's disastrous trade war. Italy's potential finances are likely to touch off a new round of economic and political turmoil.
The fact is President Trump's trade war, Britain's exit from the European Union and a broad slowdown in global growth is setting the stage for a financial crisis along the lines of the 2008-2009 economic slow-downs that hammered the economies of Europe.
Richard Portes, a professor of economics at London Business School, is very concerned about a European economic crisis…
"Central banks around the world have used up much of their crisis-fighting tools coping with the last meltdown in 2008 and 2009. Europe's central banks may not be able to come to the rescue this time."
Financial crises tend to arrive every decade or so, and Italy is near the top of a list of regarding the steady stream on the repeated financial crisis. However, this time around Europe is without the tools to it had available to them during the financial crisis that began in 2008. Mr. Portes said, referring to the president of the European Central Bank…
"It would be challenging for Mario Draghi to think of another way to get out of the mess,"
Italy, the currency bloc's third-largest economy, accounts for 11 percent of the European Union's gross domestic product — 10 times as much as Greece — and as a result, has the potential to create far more damage if it melts-down.
Special: Imagine an options trading service that has delivered over 4,872% in winning trade recommendations over 11 years. That's 442% a year in winning trade recommendations. Check it out! Just $49 for the first 60 days!
Geoff Garbacz the "world's most secretive trader" who is the chief trading analyst for the Gold and Energy Options Trader is focused like a laser on equity and index options that could jump 5, 10 even 20 times if Italy and the European Union is confronted by another financial crisis.
Color us skeptical of yesterday's "bounce back rally." We believe the trouble on Wall Street isn't over either in Europe or the United States. Many analysts, investors, professional traders are also warning that this down move isn't over.
We at Wall Street Rebel expect one big wash out ahead.
We're still looking to go long on any down move that amounts to a full 13%-16% correction from the market highs in the S&P and DOW. At that point, we fully intend to go long, with a leveraged ETF like the Direxion Daily S&P 500 BULL
(SPXL) which is a 3 to 1 downside leveraged trading vehicle.
Conversely, if the market continues Thursday's Rally other 1%-2% up move (Thursday) we are inclined to go the other way, shorting the Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bear 3X ETF (SPXS) which is a 3 to 1 upside leveraged trading vehicle.
The financial markets around the world appear to reflect what can only be described as the approach of a coordinated recession. The major equity markets around the world have fallen over 10% as of Wednesday, China's stock market is down 20%.
Trump's trade wars with China, Europe and the rest of the world and his immigration war here in the United States is literally "up ending" the euphoria that has existed in the markets since election day 2016 making a 15% or greater correction on Wall Streett possible.
Between higher interest rates and the dramatic obstacles being created by Trump Administration, Wall Street Rebel we expect our quantitative indicators to signal either a bottom we can go long on or another short opportunity.
Even Bigger Profits Are Available!
One other way to play this volatile market and rack up even bigger profits from the next down and up moves is trading options. For people who love big profit, lots of excitement and are looking for a way to generate profits of 5 to 10 times greater than trading stocks, allow me to recommend another service that's dedicated to just trading options that have proven itself an amazingly accurate...

Oh dear. I feel so sorry for her. I hope she gets some love. I hope your well have a nice day all the best take care be safe best wishes high regards Daniel
all i can say is AWESOME .. just love how the comic is going
Dang. That must suck. XD. The term "take a walk in someone else shoes" comes to mind on this one.
Amo, Do me a favour and punch that racist bitch in the face
It's not racist to be angry that someone afflicted you with a disease that permanently changes you physically.
It probably was in reference to all the previous pages when Sicha was still a Tauren in which she was so Racist against Worgens that even Hotah had to threaten to kick her out lol.
Sicha showed a lot of hate towards the Worgen race and chastised Serid for being involved with one. She even got into an argument with Kinar's father, which resulted in him hog tying her. Hotah got involved and told her that she was working her last nerve, especially given the area was supposed to be neutral territory.
Damn-it, Sicha! Everyone on the Normandy needs you to calm down ... we'll bang, okay?
~Commander Shepherd
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I'd freak out too, if my entire body had been morphed into something.., and I had no memory of it.
Then I'd ask for privacy and go over everything that did change.
My only worries would be fleas and such.
She was a tauren before now she is a worgen, Fleas? Prolly knows how to deal with those already :d
I think Amocin covered that earlier, but I can't recall what was said for sure... I DO know that in-game, Worgen Players rarely bother to switch forms because they go straight back to Worgen the minute they attack or something attacks them. That could be why nobody in the comic seems to change.
I don't know if they're able to in the comic, as far as I'm aware they haven't shown the ability before. Also she used to be a tauren so...that might even complicate things further.
Sicha getting mad cause she brought the wrong group to deal with ferals hahahahaha
Well, it looks like someone is going to need to learn to adapt, and think for once, or get the stupid knocked out of them by one highly irate expatriot(sp?) Death Knight who is already worried and riled up enough by the circumstances surrounding her friend.
Well written and drawn as always Amo, and hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving, or at least a pleasant one. =^.^=
Yeah but now which one does she give to people she hates?
BTW Amocin: panel 3, 'happned' should probably be 'happened'. Loving the series, tauren and worgen are my favorite WoW races.
I truly do feel bad for her, her entire life is now forever changed. Her daily and tribe could potentially disown her now, she could even be banished from her home. Like it's not lookin good for her. Some will say she had this comin and perhaps she did but I still feel bad
she will probably be on warchief sylvanas's anti worgen hit list
Rule #1 and ONLY RULE! do NOT threaten Kinair in frount of Amo.
Oh yeah, Sitcha never did meet Amo did She? Thus never learned Kinar's relationship between her & Amo...bitch slap Sitcha Amo!
Her reaction in panel 4 though is exactly the same as everyone else who were cursed into becoming worgen. They all believed themselves monsters before learning how to control themselves.
...Nope, I'm with Amo in panel 5. Still holding back on the sympathy.
please tell me their gonna fight.*sighs* they're not are they?
Amo is a paladin. so no. she's not just going to fight her for no real reason.
she blamed and insulted her sister. is that a good enough reason?
what happen to her horns? did she keep them when her changed race?
But don't they keep there horns in all other animal forms? Because there such a prominent part of there physiology! the same way Trolls keep there tusks when they are in animal form.
Your comic is Awesome buy the way B-)
BazSan29, your thinking Druids turning into their feral forms. This is different in that she was changed into a Worgen. Unlike feral (cat, bear, and travel) forms where the druid is intentionally turning into something the worgen form here is not a choice so, to me, it makes sense that the horns would disappear while she can't pull herself out of her new Worgen form. Wonder if it will be harder for her at first to change back considering her being a warrior and not a druid by trade.
But Is'nt the worgen an animal form? Or at lest that's how it started out originally! I'm basing this on what I remember from the "Cures of the Worgon" comic DC put out at the time of the cataclysm expansion. But pehapes as some one else has pointed out she's not a Druied so pehapes that facters in to it some how?
Hahahah! Now you get to see what it's like to be a worgen Sicha. IF you don't slit your own throat!
Actually, Sicha is not completely wrong here: Kinar may not be _directly_ involved, butt her and her hubby _are_ responsible for this Worgan infestation, and if not stopped soon, there may be _only_ Worgan left
you say that as if it is a bad thing, worgen are the master race, imagine gnome worgen, gnomegen
Neither of them are even remotely to blame for this. By husband, she's most likely referring to Serid rather than her actual husband (as I don't think it's public knowledge to the group), and even then, the Lich used his control over his DKs to force them feral. If anyone is to blame, it would be Jetnara for this specific group, or just the Lich overall.
what is so wrong with being a worgo, sicha should be grateful that she was changed into the worgen master race. filthy ungrateful hordies.
I did notice something on Sicha, that as a worgen, she's a tad more furrier in the front, like very poofy. Was that from tauren fur to worgen fur? Since not many of the other worgen are floofy like that. lol
And I'm all for Amo giving that racist cow-oh, wait, she's no cow anymore...uh, pup? a bitch slap...while yeah, she's new, the last thing you want to do is insult your new kind...that's a way to be kicked out of everything. Karma works well.
The floof around her neck is likely from her armor, if you go back to some of the last strips that she was seen still as a Tauren you'll see that she has that there already.
Sicha, wiggling her toes, "Whoa, I've never had toes before!" Sicha, wagging her tail, "Look, look, I have a tail. Neener, neener, neener!" She'll get used to being a worgen. Maybe her head feels less heavy because she doesn't have horns anymore. She'll get used to it.
The main problem will probably be her boyfriend (husband?) hunt. The Gilneas Worgen still have the problem that many of them are still attracted to humans, which obviously are not attracted to them.
Sicha is and probably will be for some time attracted to Tauren. Even if she can transform back for a short time, it won't really help her much.
Are Tauren omnivorous? Because if she was an herbivore and is now a carnivore, she's going to get a bad tummy ache if she tries to eat vegetables again.
Tauren eat meat...I've read all the novels for WoW...Baine eats meat, seen a few others eat meat too, so they're similar to us.
I don't think the slap we're all wanting is coming as Amo seems much more controlled for that, at least as a paladin, but that doesn't mean she doesn't deserve one. As for blaming Kinar, while fair to some degree what is the saying about knights in shining armor? Or as Koutack said soldiers without scars?
Despite being turned into worgen, she is stil a dumb cow...
I find it funny that I never noticed Sachi's tail had been retained and thus made more fuffy/wolf like because of the Worgen curse. I totally missed in in the last few pages, probably because it seems natural for a wolf like creature to have a tail. Just reminds me of the debate that came with the Worgens being introduced into the live game. Thinking back on it though it made sense that the playable race never had tails since the ones you had to fight before that had no tails at all either. Worgs did but not feral worgens.
Honestly, I can see why Sicha would react like this, even blaming Kinar. Let'a not forget, as unpleasant as Sicha can get, take into account what has happened to her. She was, out of nowhere, cured and turned into a worgen and went feral, having no memory of it, and now that she's back to her senses, she finds herself in a brand new body, a body of a race she's not fond of A body that is now her permanent body till the day he dies. Her body, and thus in a way her whole life, has been extremely and drastically changed without her consent. This is basically a sort of violation she has just suffered, and such a thing can be downright traumatizing, so it does make sense that in an attempt for her mind and subconscious to try coping with what just happened, her kneejerk reaction was to blame the one worgen she has a specific dislike for.
Yes, Sicha has been unpleasant with her worgen dislike, but even then I don't think she did enough to warrant what she's going through now. That and it's always struck me as peculiar that she seems to have no issues working with and living alongside worgen, the only times she's shown hostility was towards any worgen was with Kinar for being in a relationship with Serid, who Sicha was attracted to and she didn't approve of that interspecies relationship, and with Koutack due to his being just as verbally in-your-face as she is and not backing down from her or answering what she asked. I just feel we haven't gotten the full story behind her.

If you have already worked on defining your brand, then you most likely have already picked your color palette.
Choosing a color scheme is a big step on how to design a website. It doesn't just represent your business but it evokes emotions in your visitors.
I know you might be thinking that you are not artistic, not creative, but I can tell you, you don't need to be an artist to create compelling visual content and choose the winning color scheme for your website.
You still need to have a bit of knowledge though. So learn what each color represents. Read about the psychology of colors. Later, you'll find a small list with few meanings but there is a lot more on the internet about this topic.
Color Matters (https://www.colormatters.com/) for example is a website where you can find a lot of information including a whole section dedicated to color and design.
Here are few but very important tips that will help you choose a winning color scheme for your website:
- Pick a dominant color and combine it with few complimentary colors.
- Choose a background color.
- Your color scheme should be consistent across the site.
Pick a dominant color
Your dominant color should be chosen based on the emotion you want to evoke and also the type of customer you want to attract.
Indeed the color you choose will help bring out certain emotions and feelings. Here the list of colors together with the emotions they evoke:
- Yellow: Youthful and optimism. Used to grab attention. Can put strain on the eyes, so it is usually not good as a background or primary site color.
- Red: Passion and energy. Often used to create urgency for people to purchase products.
- Blue: Trust and security. Business and banks use it to create sense of security and trust in their brand.
- Green: Wealth and health. Relaxing and easy-going. It's the easiest color for the eye to process.
- Orange: Aggressive and excitement. Promotes people to take action.
- Pink: Feminine and romantic. Often used to market products to women and girls.
- Black: Power and elegance. Use it to market luxury products and appeal to impulse buyers.
- Purple: Soothing and calming. Often used to market anti-aging products.
When you choose your dominant color, always keep in mind the identity of your business and the type of customer you want to attract.
If, for example, you sell tea, black might not be the best choice as dominant color. While green could be better "fit for purpose".
Once you have picked your dominant color, you want to use it in a wise way. Your dominant color is supposed to attract attention.
A very good practice is to use it in a limited number of places where you want your website visitors to pay attention to, or if you want your visitors to take certain actions.
Combine it with few complementary colors
To find the complementary colors, if you feel unsure about your matching skills, choose a picture that contains your dominant color and upload the picture in one of the many tools on the internet that generates color palettes.
Canva for example has a very nice generator where you can upload an image and get the color palette from it. (https://www.canva.com/colors/color-palette-generator/)
Coolors.co (https://coolors.co/) is also a color palette generator. It will generate combination of colors that match together randomly or starting from a color that you choose. So you can feed your dominant color and get a good match for the complementary ones.
Use your complementary colors to highlight secondary information on your webpages: content and items that are not the main focal points of your page, but you still want them to stand out.
Choose a background color
The background color of your website also depends on what you want your visitors to focus on. Always keep in mind that your content and/or your products are kings and the background color should help them be more visible and readable.
Make sure to choose a simple color that doesn't distract your audience from what's most important.
Stay consistent
Whatever color scheme you choose, make sure you use it on all your pages in the same way, otherwise your visitors will just get confused.
Last but not least, have fun!!! Experiment while choosing the colors. The process can be very creative and entertaining if taken with the right approach 🙂
Are you struggling with your current website? Would you like a new website that makes your business stand out?

The food at paso high is actually not bad when you compare to other school food but the prices have been fluctuating . For my topic imma talk about the quality of the food and price compared to the older prices and quality. Overall I feel like the quality of the food has gone down and the prices have gone up. For example the chipotle sandwich now uses the same chicken they sell as chicken strips and id bet its the older less fresh ones because from my experiences it's a lot tougher. For an example of the price changes the vitamin water has gone from $3 for the longest time to $2 for a bit and back to $3, gatorade went from $1 to $1.25 but $1 at the student store so the school went back to $1. Most food have to be bought in a meal (with an apple/orange,milk and, bag of carrots) so now instead of a $2 pizza now you get $3.50 a Meal with a piazza,drink,and nutrition/orange(update you can now buy pizza by the slice for $2 at the gym). I understand the school needs to sell healthier but from what i've seen most people are throwing the carrot and fruit into the trash which is spending more money to waste more food.
Most of theses changes started when the school introduced there code system after our break in december. From the start students were not happy about the changes. The lunch lines were even longer than before and lasted until the end of lunch. It was only like that in the beginning now most people know their code now but the line still takes a long time But, since then they've added a few more selections like nachos, and they fixed the ice cream machine.
As I do this project a lot of great changes are being made. They've added more food options such as pretzels, muffins, and nachos and now you get a bag of chips with your meal. This is great for the students/customers but they didn't have any pizza for sale just chicken strips and chicken sandwiches. Besides better quality of food the school has improved a lot especially for all this to happen in one year. Usually the schools food doesn't change and when it does it's usually not too great for the students but, as of right now I'm starting to like these changes. I can't think of much more besides having more food stands to help cut the line down.

Madhya Pradesh: Minor girls forced into prostitution
Share this
Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh: The National Women Commission has asked the Madhya Pradesh government for a detailed report on trafficking of minor girls. Recently 21 such girls were rescued by the Mandsaur police, what is more nerve racking is that the minor girls were being administered hormones and steroids for fast growth to push them into prostitution.
The village from which the girls were rescued houses 30 Banchra families, who are scheduled castes and each family has at least one minor girl.
Now many of them have fled after police conducted raids looking for minor girls trafficked into prostitution.
It is alleged that each girl was sold to Banchra families for prices ranging between Rs.
20,000 and Rs.
70,000. A gang of 29 members has been busted.
It is believed that the gang used to kidnap minor girls from railway stations, bus stands and temples.
"I was selling balloons, two people came, gave me chocolate and took me inside a bus, later they sold me," said a victim.
The police suspect that over 800 minor girls are still there in almost 16 Banchra bastis.
A drive is on to rescue those girls. The police are now contemplating DNA tests to corroborate maternity claims of women the girls are staying with.
"We will get DNA tests conducted in suspicious cases. This will prove whether they are the actual parents of the children or not," said Upendre Jain, IG Ujjain Division.

The elevation of Donald Trump to the American presidency has demonstrated just how quickly the established norms we have come to take for granted can disappear.
President Obama, a man truly conversant of the weight he carried as the first non-white president comported himself with immaculate fidelity and class.
Additionally, his wife Michelle and their two daughters, completed the model family image many are now looking back on with great nostalgic emotionalism.
Barack Obama's most grievous sin even after two bruising campaign seasons and eight (8) years in the white house, was his wearing of the now infamous tan suit which Republican cultists harangued and castigated him for, with the media's full acquiescence.
You may also remember how mad the right-wing nut-jobs were? Their nonsensical arguments were that it wasn't suitably presidential, or some cockamamie reason they came up with for hating it.
It was a sign to ISIS that the American president wasn't tough,that he wanted to go to a fundraiser , Long Island Republican congressman Peter King declared.
Obama's sartorial departure from the ho-hum of the traditional blue suit was all it took to get the ignorant racist right all ginned up.
True to form, the racist right never bothered to read up on history(not that it matters what color suit someone wears, it's their own damn business).
They group-think, and are prone to following the ignorantly agenda-driven fringe elements, like [rats behind the pied piper of Hamlin].
The truth of the matter is that other presidents had donned tanned suits before President Obama did, including Ronald Reagan the titular deity of the political right.
As the nation grapples with the avalanche of maddening events today, it is important to distinguish what Republicans were hand-wringing about only three years ago.
The Press is under assault, daily there are tweets from the presidency lambasting the free press. Refugees seeking Asylum are separated from their children and deported without their children. People living in the United States for decades are summarily rounded up and locked up as well as deported for minor infractions committed decades earlier.
Members of the press are barred from press briefings for asking questions they are duty bound to ask.
People of color are being gunned down in the streets by racist whites in police uniforms. States purge millions from voters lists without consequence, while unnecessary trade wars create panic and fear.
And yes, prices are beginning to rise as a result, even as farmers begin to see the results of these reckless un-necessary policies and question the votes they casted.
As the sky seems to be falling, those who did not vote for this look to Special counsel Robert Muller a (Republican) to save them, even as Trump's collaborators in the Republican-controlled House file articles of impeachment against Rod Rosenstein for refusing to hand over evidence to them which are part of an ongoing criminal and counterintelligence investigations.
Nations which fought alongside America are now sidelined, while old foes are given credence and deference. Meetings between executives of the American Government and other nations, even hostile powers, are held in private, with no documentation of what was said and it gets worse.
The [régime], sorry I meant the administration, now decrees, it will no longer have readouts of conversations Trump has with foreign leaders.
Under normal circumstances, this would not be tolerated by the world's oldest democracy, so whats different this time?
Whats different, is a systematic and concerted assault on institutions and sensibilities, so exasperating and overwhelming, that we simply tune them out.
Ladies and gentlemen that is how democracies die. "[Remember what you hear and see happening is not what is really happening"][sic].

For parents of children with Club foot, congenital talipes equinovarus
Sunday, 4 March 2012
Still very sore!
Lilybear's feet look like they are starting to heal up a little bit. I took off the DuoDerm this morning, and it was still very raw looking. DH and I decided that with all the moisture getting trapped under the duoderm it wasn't healing. So we left her boots off for her hour after putting her antibiotic cream on, and it started to scab over. So we put her boots back on with out the duo derm. I checked again tonight when I had to put her cream on again. It was still very sore looking, but at least it is scabbing over now! It was bleeding a little from taking off her sock, so I left her out of her boots for about 10 minutes to make sure the blood wouldn't get on her socks or boots, and then put them back on. Hopefully it will look a lot better in the morning. I am supposed to follow up with our Dr if it doesn't look better by then to put her on an oral antibiotic. Wish us luck!

Looking for a movie to see this week? Well look no further, here are our reviews of the movies currently playing at the Athena:
I, your local cinephile friend, would say that all three films currently showing at the Athena are "good." But, admittedly, they are not for everyone. So here's a quick guide to which movie at the Athena you should go see.
Eighth Grade
First up is "Eighth Grade," comedian Bo Burnham's directorial debut. Eighth Grade follows Kayla Day, played by Elsie Fisher, as she tries to navigate her final year of middle school. This movie a classic coming-of-age story that fans of "Sixteen Candles," "The Breakfast Club," or the more recent "Lady Bird" are sure to love. Fisher gives a fantastic performance as Kayla as she tries to face her anxiety and the struggles of growing up. "Eighth Grade" as a whole excels at capturing that eighth grade awkwardness that we are all familiar with, resulting in some great comedic moments. However the movie is not purely comedy, as it has many heartfelt moments and some serious ones as well, such as one particular scene which literally caused me to cover my eyes. "Eighth Grade" doesn't really tread any new ground and is fairly predictable, but it accomplishes what it sets out to do.
"Eighth Grade" is for:
* Fans of coming-of-age films
* People who were awkward in middle school
"Eighth Grade" is not for
* Someone who is looking for a surprising genre film
* Someone looking for politics and social issues in a film
Next is "BlacKkKlansman," Spike Lee's film adaptation of the real-life story of Ron Stallworth, an African-American man who goes undercover in the KKK in the 1970s. This movie walks the perfect line between funny and serious, with some of it's best comedic moments happening while poking fun at just how ridiculous and ignorant the Klansmen really are.
"BlacKkKlansman" has clear themes and is very thought provoking about racial issues. This is especially clear in the last five minutes, which really wraps up the movie perfectly and puts the film into context with the current socio-political environment. Everyone walked out of the theater in complete silence. All of this plus some great performances from John David Washington (Denzel Washington's son) and Adam Driver (Star Wars) has this movie listed high on a early Oscar lists.
"BlacKkKlansman" is for:
* Fans of Dark Comedies
* People interested in racial issues
"BlacKkKlansman" is not for
* Someone who wants a fun, light-hearted movie
* Trump supporters, probably
Sorry to Bother You
Finally comes "Sorry to Bother You," an absurdist, satirical, comedy that is a much harder story to summarize. It's follows a black telemarketer as he ascends in at his company and tries to navigate the white male-dominated world of capitalist America–and that's about as much as I can tell you. This movie is genuinely one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen, with twists and turns and an unexpected narrative. It makes you let your guard before proving itself to be an incredibly powerful movie. Honestly, the less you know about this movie going in, the better. If weird indie stuff is your thing, definitely check this out.
"Sorry to Bother You" is for:
* Experimental indie fans
* People who are comfortable being uncomfortable
"Sorry to Bother You" is not for
* Someone who wants a simple movie
* Furries
All of these movies are worth seeing, and can all certainly be enjoyed my anyone, but they're all good for very different reasons. Hopefully now you might have a better idea of what might fit your interests. So you should definitely go check out one of them at the Athena before they go and support smaller movies and your local independent cinema.
The Athena is located at 20 S Court Street and offers discount Tuesday tickets for just $4

Be careful what you wish for.
Disney just dropped a new trailer for the live-action version of "Aladdin," offering the first glimpse of Will Smith's very blue Genie, and some fans aren't pleased.
Previous photos published by Entertainment Weekly had shown a decidedly not blue Genie, prompting backlash. At the time, Smith responded to tell people that the iconic character, voiced in the animated film by the late Robin Williams, would indeed have the azure hue in the live-action movie.
"I told y'all I was gon' be Blue!!" Smith wrote on Instagram Sunday, after the new trailer debuted. "Y'all need to trust me more often!"
But now there's a new wave of backlash, with some comparing Smith's blue Genie to a Smurf and others calling the CGI creation downright nightmarish.
"Will Smith as the genie looks like what one of those kids from the 90's Fruit Gushers commercials would look like if they never found a cure for their fruit curse," one person wrote on Twitter.
"Will Smith genie is what appears in my room when I have sleep paralysis," added another.
"Will Smith as #Aladdin's genie makes me want to uninvent CGI," wrote a third.
Where's a magic lamp when you need one? "Aladdin" hits theaters on May 24.

PEOPLE project's 2nd Co-Creation Camp
What an exciting week! On 3 and 4 July 2019, social sciences and humanities students, their academic and industry mentors, and PEOPLE team members from Slovenia, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Czechia got together to share experiences and learnings at the PEOPLE project's 2nd Co-Creation Camp. As our 2nd Learning Cycle came to an end, the four teams had been working tirelessly on their industry-relevant case studies. While the case studies were very diverse, the overarching goal of the Learning Cycle was to apply social sciences and humanities methods and people-centred development approaches to real-life challenges in the energy and sustainability industries.
The members of the PEOPLE project met in Ljubljana – the 2nd Co-Creation Camp was hosted and co-organised by the Slovenian PEOPLE project partners: Institute for Innovation and Development of University of Ljubljana (IRI UL), Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts (ZRC SAZU), and industry partner Metronik. The intensive two-day programme included presentations, workshops, and co-creation activities aimed at enhancing our learning process in the PEOPLE higher education – industry – students triangle.
This year's special guest at the 2nd Co-Creation Camp was Prof Dr Sarah Pink, a world leading design anthropologist and a member of the PEOPLE project's advisory board. In addition, Joanne Mihelcic, Research Fellow at Monash University in Australia and a sociotechnical analyst who applies interdisciplinary expertise to understanding how people experience the technical, social and material world, took part in the Co-Creation Camp as an external discussant and observer.
Read our short report on the two-day event, which concluded with a symposium Forget about users – start thinking about people!, and check out our photo slideshows HERE.

Myint Win Thein
School lessons are generally supposed to teach children life skills and how to make progress in life by utilising lessons in logic, ethics and the basic skills of numeracy and literacy. They are taught to better the future of society as a whole based on the lessons they have learned. As a result, these lessons should set the best examples for them.
For the past decades, all Myanmar matriculation students have had to learn an article entitled "The World of Fish Paste" which depicts the live of fish paste workers, the process of making fish paste and the nutritional values of fish paste for their Myanmar language examination. According to the article, there is no problem with fish paste, which always is the main and only dish for poor Myanmar people as it is abundantly available to them.
It is a knowledgeable article about one of Myanmar's traditional food, which is made of salt and fish or prawn. The people of Myanmar were contented with fish paste, which is cheap and readily available, for six decades.
Nevertheless, it is made with a lot of salt. As it is fermented, it has bacteria in it. Now it is known to all that salty food causes hypertension and bacteria cause various diseases in people. As a result people no longer eat fish paste as much as they used to.
Furthermore, it costs the country a lot of spending on health and a slow pace to change. As people are contented with what is readily available for them, they do not ask for change. Now they know that it is not as healthy as the article suggests, they demand a balanced diet which will make them healthier in the future. We ought to demand the same standards of our education system. If the information provided to students is out of date or lacks proper logical and scientific basis our children cannot hope to be the future of the nation.

Is there any better way to get a buzz on for the year than picking up your season pass?
It doesn't matter who you are—a 22-year-old newbie fresh out of St. Lawrence and bumming out west for your first time, a cynical ski-company employee, or a rock star sponsored skier—getting your pass is one of the most excellent and highly intense ways to get a jones for skiing. You stand there against the backdrop of dancing turtles or little flowers or blue-haired trolls, facing the Polaroid and thinking, "What kind of expression should I have on the photo this year—goofy? Suave? Retarded? Stoned?" and poom before you're ready the flash has gone off and you're stuck with "ugly geek." But that's OK, because then there's that smell of the plastic running through the laminator and you know that it means one thing: five or six months of freedom to get on whatever lift you want, whenever you want, and skiing, skiing, and more skiing.
Yes, a season pass is one of the coolest things in the world.
That expensive little piece of plastic is about as different from a day ticket as the earth is from the moon. Instead of just being a passing customer, you're part of the cycle, part of the process, from beginning to end. You're there to close the place down, and when you're standing on this side, holding that card in your hands, well, damn that feels good: deeper, more sustaining, a part of instead of apart from.
On a more superficial, basic, and important level, the best thing about a season pass is all the epic days it's gonna bring. It's tempting (well, inevitable) to think about how much the pass costs and how many days it'll take to make it pay for itself, but what's way cooler is to think about all that it represents—each day of a season on skis, your choice, the good and the bad, the groomed and the deep. All accessed by that piece of plastic.
Season passes are funny. Even after they're dead they still have a power. I don't know anyone who throws theirs away. A few years back Powder had a contest, and one guy wrote his entry on a color photocopy of his season passes from the previous seven years. At first clean-shaven and short-haired, each passing season saw him get a little less manicured, a little more scraggly, obviously pulled by the powerful magnet of ski bummery, until on the last pass he looked like every other long-haired ski-town skid. One thing didn't change, however: In every single pass, the brother had this intense look in his eye that said, "Let's go." It was a pretty rad way to write his autobiography. It gives you something to think about when you go to pick up your pass, huh?

Nominate today
Make a senior's wish come true
Let's make special connections happen
In partnership with
At Philips Lifeline, helping seniors to get assistance after a fall or medical emergency is at the heart of what we do. It's about connecting them to a neighbour, loved one, or EMS when they need it most. But the Lifeline service is also about making every day connections… Sometimes our subscribers push their button to say hello or to tell us about their day. We understand the value of maintaining social connections, especially as we age, and we know that friendly conversations and caring connections can go a long way to making someone's day and helping them to feel supported.
That's why we are so proud to now be working with Wish of a Lifetime Canada (WOLC). In 2017 Philips Lifeline Canada is partnering with Wish of a Lifetime Canada to grant three (3) wishes to seniors across Canada. The theme for these three wishes is "reconnecting". Together with WOLC, we will reunite three lucky seniors with a loved one or a friend they haven't seen in years. We love the idea of reconnecting seniors with family, loved ones, or someone special from their past live as it aligns with our service commitment to keeping seniors connected.
Is there a special senior in your life who has a friend or family member you'd like them to reconnect with? If yes, we invite you to apply to have your wish granted. It's easy:
You can find full details regarding nominations and how wishes are granted at wishofalifetime.ca
Wish Stories
As we reconnect seniors with loved ones, we will post pictures, video and accounts of these reunions here.
Harriet's Journey
Harriet's wish became a reality when she visited her father's gravesite at the Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery in the Netherlands.

The day before leaving Chiang Mai, we finally got the chance to visit the must-go spot, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Temple, to complete our Chiang Mai "Trip".
Most people just call the temple in a short way "Doi Suthep" as it is actually the name of the mountain where it is located.
The temple was built in 1383. There is a legend telling that the location of the temple was chosen by a white elephant. There was a monk named Sumanathera, who had a dream that instructed him to go to Pang Cha and look for a relic. The monk followed the instruction and went to Pang Cha and he found the relic. The relic had the magical powers, it glowed, it vanished and it could even recreate by itself. The monk brought it to the King of Sukhothai (Around the North Central Thailand today). However, the relic didn't show any magic to the king and the King just told the monk to keep it. The King of Lan Na (The Northern Thailand today) heard about the relic and asked the monk to bring it to him. When the relic arrived in Lan Na, it broke into 2 pieces. The King then placed one on the back of a white elephant and released it back to the jungle. The white elephant climbed up to Doi Suthep and stopped and died. The King believed that it was an omen and ordered people to build a temple here. Many people believe that the relic is the Gautama Buddha's shoulder bone and is peacefully placing in Doi Suthep Temple.
The enormous view from the Temple.
To go up to the mountain, you can take the songthaew. There are 2 main points to take the songthaew to go up to Doi Suthep, one is at the Old Town, North Gate (Chang Phuak Gate), another one is near the Chiang Mai Zoo. The above picture is near the Chiang Mai Zoo. The trip to go up to the mountain will take around 25 minutes from the Chiang Mai Zoo. Each songthaew will carry max. 10 passagers, so at the non-peak hours, people have to wait for some times the songthaew to be filled up to 10 persons. Of course, if you don't want to wait, you can charter a songthaew, it will be around THB 500 to 600. One-way trip to the mountain is THB 50/per person, Return trip is THB 80/per person. If you choose to pay the return trip, you don't have to pay for the first ride, you will pay when you get back to the songthaew after the temple visit. The driver will allow you 1.5 hours for the sight seeing and he will pick you up again at the drop off/pick up area.
The Entrance before the steps to the Doi Suthep Temple.
This is the stairs to go up to the Temple, some people said the total is 306 steps, some said is 309 steps, and I didn't count it personally. The stairs doesn't look long and steep but to speak sincerely, I had sore legs the next day. Apart from the stairs, you can take the tram on the right hand side of the entrance. The fee is THB 20. I heard it just takes 1 min to get you up to the temple, but I am not sure how long to wait for the queue…
I don't know what exactly the Donation Banner talking about in Thai, but I guess you can take a picture with these little cute girls who dress up in the minority costumes and make a little donation afterward.
This is the Entrace of the Temple and for the non-local, they have to buy the entrance ticket.
The Entrance fee is THB 30 and for locals it's free. There are "Do and Don't in the temple" listed on the ticket:
1, Dress politely, do not wear shorts ( for guys are ok)
2, Show respect in the temple and Shrine
3, Take off your shoes before entering the platform around the Golden Chedi
4, Keep your head lower than Buddha images and monks
5, Don't touch the Buddha images
6, Don't display affection for another person in public
7, Always keep clean
This is the famous Golden Chedi and people believe the relic is placing inside this Chedi.
Inside the Temple.
The White Elephant which allegedly brought the relic up to the Doi Suthep Mountain. The stone at the back has told the story of the temple, the relic and this white elephant.
The front of the Temple.
Apart from the Main Temple where the Golden Chedi is located, there are other temples around for people to enshrine.
After the 306 steps, this is the reward. The massive view of the whole Chiang Mai. You can also sit down at one of the benches and enjoy the quietness and fresh air.
You don't need a whole day for the Doi Suthep Temple visit. 1 to 1.5 hours is really enough. But this scenery makes it all worthwhile.

Top 5 Scams to Protect Yourself Against in 2019
Phone scams are a million-dollar business. Over $95 million CAD in 2017, in fact. From January 2014 to December 2016, it is estimated that Canadians were scammed out of $290 million. Tack on another massive loss of over $95 million in 2017 and 2018 respectively.
A Better Business Bureau report found that even tech-savvy millennials fall for phone scams at an alarming rate. If we are aware that this is happening, why can't we stop it? Below is a play-by-play of exactly how scammers are conning people out of their money. By understanding the patterns of these criminals, we can start to be aware of what to look out for when we get those mystery phone calls.
We look at the leading phone scams of 2018, explain how they work, and advise on how to avoid them in 2019. This year, when the scammers come for you and your hard-earned money, you will know what to do.
#1. The "CRA Is Going to Arrest You" scam.
This particular phone scam starts out with a call or voicemail message that goes something like this:
"The CRA is filing a lawsuit against you due to tax evasion and the CRA has strong evidence that you have failed to file your actual income tax which was higher than it was supposed to be. To get more information about this case file, call our number [insert scammer phone number]. I repeat [spoofed phone number]. If we don't hear from you, we will issue an arrest warrant under your name and have the police bring you in."
Notice the urgency and authoritative tone. These are signs of a classic phone scam. The hope is that the possibility of trouble with the law will blind your common sense. And it works more than we realize. This scam makes an appearance every year around tax time as people start to sweat about what they owe the government and are more likely to settle quickly on the phone.
The key to breaking through this scam is to know that the CRA doesn't call to demand immediate action or payment. They'll mail you a bill first or send you a notification to check your "My Account" online. And they're not bringing law enforcement into the mix right from the start. All you must do is ignore these calls and inform everyone you know that these calls are a joke. That's the best way to fight scammers—awareness.
#2. The "We Need to Verify Your information" scam.
This is where the scammer poses as an official from some institution. They usually claim to be from your insurance. The call starts off quite professional and polite. All the caller wants to do is verify some information for their records. If you object, they get defensive and say they don't want you to give them any information. They just need you to verify what they already have on record. Sounds ok, right?
But it's not. In 2019, it is highly unlikely that an insurance company would use a phone call and a live agent to call and check on your information. It doesn't make sense from an economic angle. Generally, these companies will verify information through an email. Much more cost effective and less invasive.
- Always be suspicious of any stranger calling up and asking for your personal information, even its just to "verify" it. These scammers are quite smart and coy. They will "verify" the information by rambling off a postal code in your city, any postal code, expecting you to respond with the correct one.
- Be prepared for them to bully you if you don't comply. If they sense any kind of uncertainty on your part, they'll apply the pressure. You could lose your insurance. They are issuing an arrest warrant. Of course, if the call gets to this point, you can be certain that it is a scam.
- They may lead with questions like, "Do you suffer from chronic back pain?" or "Have you smoked in the last 30 days?" This seems innocent enough, but it's just to get you warmed up. Without you even noticing, the questions begin to get a little more personal, verifying sensitive information like your birth date or Social Insurance Number. What is surprising is, in most cases, they already have the information on hand. You assume they received it legitimately and there's no harm in verifying it. But of course, you'd be very wrong.
You see, scammers are building an identity profile on you. Once they have enough information, they can use your identity to commit fraud. They build this profile piece by piece, and they can't be sure about the information they have on you until you verify it for them. So anything you say, even answering the phone, helps them build their profile. They know the number they have for you works, that you'll answer it, and that makes it valuable for them to sell. Maybe you slip up and say something like "Now is not a good time, I'm taking my kids to school", and just like that, you have given them more information than they had before, fleshing out more of your identity profile.
The way to stop this phone scam is to never give out your personal information over the phone. Never verify it either. If you're concerned that the caller has a legitimate need for it, then tell him or her that you'll call the company directly and verify the information at that time. Never hand out that information to someone who called you out of the blue.
The caller may offer to transfer you to another agent of give you a "direct" phone number to skip over the ever dreadful hold music, but don't trust this either. They will simply direct you to another scammer. Call your local insurance branch directly or get their 800 number from a credible site.
#3. The "Your Computer Has a Virus" scam.
Your phone rings and it's someone claiming to be from Microsoft or Apple. They're calling because your computer has a virus.
Initially, you may think how wonderful it is that these companies are so proactive and protective of their users. The scammer will ask you to go to your computer and open a log. They will ask you to read out the top three running programs and immediately tell you that one of them sounds suspicious. At this point of the grand scam, the caller will send you to a website where you will be asked to give the caller permission to access your computer. If you give them this access, it is essentially game over. Once they are in, they will install malware. To add insult to injury, they will often try to get you to pay them for their "service".
#4. The "We'll Shut Off Your Utilities" scam.
This is when scammers call posing as a utility company. They'll state you fell behind on your monthly payments. They will demand an immediate payment right then. If you refuse, they'll shut off your power, gas, water, etc.
Similar to some other scams, they rely on bullying tactics to get your anxiety revving. In reality, you will receive notification on your next bill that you've missed a payment and if it ever gets to the point that the utilities are at risk of being shut off, there will be many, MANY letters and registered letters prior to someone coming to your house to discuss options. As outlined above, tell the caller that you will call back in an hour and make sure to research the number yourself.
#5. The "Can You Hear Me?" scam.
According to a Better Business Bureau report, this was the scam of 2018, with over 10,000 reported instances. For this phone scam, someone calls and simply asks, "Can you hear me?" The goal is to record you saying, "Yes," so they can use your voice to authorize purchases.
The best way to handle this kind of call is to vet what you are saying carefully. How will the conversation sound out of context? Have you made it sound like you are agreeing to anything? Of course, the very best solution to this scam is to simply hang up. Another tactic is to always respond to queries with a question. Like: "Who is this?" or "What's this about?"
While reading all of these can be intimidating, there are a few things you can do today to help you in your quest to avoid these scams all together. You can register your number on the National Do Not Call List or be proactive by downloading an app that filters your calls for you. That way, you don't even risk the chance of getting a scam call.

Hutchinson Correctional Facility, Kansas
Editor's note: This article was originally published in the News section of the Bethel College website on January 27, 2016.
by Melanie Zuercher
NORTH NEWTON, KAN. – When Professor of Communication Arts John McCabe-Juhnke put his former "pilot project" into Bethel College's interterm curriculum, he knew his students would learn things that surprised them.
McCabe-Juhnke has been doing prison theater for more than a decade. In 2014, he and student volunteers spent January working with inmates at Hutchinson Correctional Facility (HCF) to produce Inside Story, a series of dramatic sketches based on true stories and student and inmate journals.
"The one thing you can count on when working in prison," McCabe-Juhnke says, "is that there's always going to be something."
This time the "something" was HCF going on lockdown 2½ weeks in, following a series of inmate fights. None of the 10 men in the theater class was involved. But all visits were cancelled, and the "inside" performances of Inside Story, one for the prison population and one for the public with security clearance, were cancelled with them.
The campus performances of Inside Story will go on as scheduled, Feb. 5 and 6 at 7 p.m. in Krehbiel Auditorium in Luyken Fine Arts Center on the Bethel campus.
Ticket prices are $6 for adults and $4 for senior citizens and non-Bethel students (Bethel students are free on Friday and pay $1 on Saturday). One dollar from every ticket sold will go to the Offender Victim Ministries of Newton's Prison Ministries, which includes arts projects as well as the long-running prison visitation program M2.
Tickets are available at Thresher Shop on campus, open weekdays 8 a.m.-5 p.m. (phone 316-284-5205), or at the door, subject to availability.
There will be talk-back sessions after each performance, with the students reflecting on their interterm experience.
"This is the first time I've experienced lockdown of the whole prison," McCabe-Juhnke says. "I have lost actors [because of their personal issues], or had guys unable to come because a section was on lockdown. There's always something."
The students are, of course, disappointed, he said.
"I had them, as an alternative assignment, write letters to the inmates. These are not to be sent – I'm not sure we're even allowed to communicate with them. There are some really good letters expressing how it felt that 'things were really starting to take off,' and then got cancelled."
Up to this point, the 11 students and 10 inmates have all been keeping journals, which they periodically exchanged with each other to read.
"Journal after [inmate] journal talked about how much they enjoyed the experience and what a privilege it was to be able to work with college students," McCabe-Juhnke said.
"This [lockdown] will be included in the story we tell," he continued. "The concept remains the same, allowing the audience to see the plays we worked at [with the inmates] and hear the context we worked in.
"The difference now – it won't be how successful our performances were inside but how they got changed by circumstances."
Inside Story will run around 70 minutes, and include four short sketches of about 10 minutes each, interspersed with material from the class, which they developed collaboratively until the lockdown.
For Bethel's January interterm, students choose one class for intensive study for three to four weeks. Classes meet every day for three hours and often include field trips or even overseas study (this year in Europe and China).
The class offers either Cross-Cultural Learning or Peace, Justice and Conflict Studies credit, both General Education requirements.
"I signed up for this class for the cross-cultural credit," says Allie Brown, senior business major from Hesston. "I definitely got that but really, what we are seeing and hearing while in prison, around men who are 'other,' it's almost indescribable.
"BC and HCF students [were] combined and for two hours every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, we [were] equals — I am no higher than an inmate and the HCF residents are no lower than a college student."
Joshua Lewis, senior communication arts major from Rialto, California, and Abby Phillips, junior social work major from Maple Hill, both saw performances of Inside Story two years ago.
"I realized John was actually making it into a class, and I wanted to take another class with him," Lewis says. "The way that production went two years ago, I felt like it had a lot of insight. With where I come from, I've seen both sides of the [incarceration] issue. It was good to see it made into something not just negative."
"I knew a little bit about what to expect, but I still didn't know what the men would be like," Phillips says. "We have to write journals, so I wrote in one of mine: 'We don't see the guys named "Razor" and "Crusher," and I'm OK with that. But it's still a maximum-security prison.'
"In our training, they made it sound like the inmates would try and seduce us, which was really weird. I am not getting that from any of them. They're guys who messed up somewhere along the line and now they're paying for it."
"Coming into this class I was scared, worried, nervous, whatever word you want to use," Brown adds. "It's hard to enter a new place when you don't know what to expect. I expected our experience to be intimidating, and I hoped for kindness. I found both."
"I've noticed that everyone cares about the guys at Hutch," says Kaylie Penner, freshman from Moundridge. "We're all invested in all of it, inmates included.
"I went in with the mindset that everyone is human and no one's defined by where they live or by their worst act, that humanity is still there," she continues. "I was kind of surprised how easy it was to stick with that, and that developing relationships [with the inmates] was a lot easier than I thought it would be.
"I still had questions I wanted to ask some of them," she says a little sadly, "and now I won't get to."
"Something really surprising is how excited the inmates were for it," Phillips says. "There are a couple who have been doing prison theater as long as John has been doing it, but there are a few others who said 'I've never acted before, I've never done anything dramatic before, but I'm so ready for this. It's not just another chance to be out of my cell.'"
"It [was] surprisingly easy to work with these men," Brown adds, "and their dedication is impressive."
She continues, "What have I learned? Well it's not a new concept but rather reinforcement of an old one: We do not live in a black-and-white world. People aren't good or bad. They are good and bad.
"I know that whatever these men did must have been horrible. I mean, they are in maximum-security prison, for a long time. However, they are still human beings who have shown goodness in our workshop. Bethel loves critical thinking – they foster a lot of that."
"The plays give us vulnerability on both sides," says Lewis. "For us [students], going into HCF, we [were] on their stomping grounds. Then they come into that room inside, where it [was] like our stomping grounds.
"[Theater gave] us a chance to work together. Without it, we're all lost."
"I've learned to be less judgmental," Phillips says. "As a 20-year-old girl, that is so important. These guys are inmates but they're so much more than that. They had lives before prison, even though I don't know what those were and I don't know what happened. They're not 'just an HCF inmate.'
"I'm trying to extend that to other people I meet."
Most of the Bethel students in the class have little or no theater experience. One small upside to the cancellation of visits to HCF has been extra time to work on memorizing their parts and putting the campus performance of Inside Story together.

HCFA Excited to Participate in National Public Health Week - April 1-7, 2019
Today marks the first day of National Public Health Week (NPHW) organized by the American Public Health Association (APHA) to celebrate the importance of public health in protecting the health and well-being of all Americans. The theme for this year's NPHW campaign is "Creating the Healthiest Nation: For science. For action. For health." and Health Care For All (HCFA) is excited to join the campaign by sharing consumer health advocacy efforts underway in Massachusetts which, we believe, have direct impacts on improving public health in our state. More specifically, every day this week, HCFA will highlight a key consumer health advocacy topic that we are currently championing by publishing a blog on the issue and sharing information on social media.
According to the American Public Health Association "Public health promotes and protects the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, work and play." We believe a big part of our work is promoting public health and we this as a fundamental way to promote health justice in the Commonwealth.
For over 30 years, HCFA has run campaigns that are driven by the information we hear directly from consumers who call our HelpLine or attend community-based events. Our HelpLine fields over 20,000 calls every year from people who need assistance gaining health coverage. We proudly offer these services because we know that health insurance coverage is a vital component of ensuring access to health care, related services and resources that keep individuals and communities healthy. We also know that high levels of health insurance coverage do not guarantee access to affordable, quality health care. In 2018, the Massachusetts Health Reform Survey found that despite near-universal coverage (96.0%) for adults in Massachusetts, almost half (49.1%) reported difficulty obtaining health care over the past year. The survey also found that almost 40% (38.1%) of adults refrained from seeking necessary health care services, with half (18.6%) 38.1% siting the cost of care as primary reason for deferring their care. Not surprisingly, low and moderate income adults were more likely than higher-income adults to report difficulties obtaining care and unmet need for care.
While improving access to affordable health insurance coverage is an essential aspect of HCFA's work, we are also active on several other consumer health advocacy projects that directly impact public health in Massachusetts. Throughout this week, we will feature a blog on one HCFA project area and share its challenges, solutions and potential opportunities for consumer engagement. Tomorrow, the blog will focus on our oral health advocacy work which is based on the understanding that oral health is a necessary component of overall health. On Wednesday, we will highlight the important education and outreach we have been conducting around immigrant health issues and how supporting the health and well-being of our immigrant communities promotes public health. Thursday's blog will focus on children's health and discuss our Cover All Kids campaign that is working to ensure comprehensive coverage for all children in Massachusetts regardless of immigration status. Finally, on Friday we will discuss our prescription drug campaign which seeks to reign in the high cost of prescription drugs in Massachusetts to ensure affordability for all residents.
HCFA genuinely values each of the consumers health issues we work on and are committed to building a strong health justice movement in Massachusetts that promotes health equity and ensures coverage and access for all. However, we know that partnering with health care consumers to uplift the health care issues that you care deeply about and building collective grassroots power is the most important way to make meaningful change to our health care system! Please follow/share our blog series and social media campaign as we participate in NPHW and bring attention to the importance of health justice and public health efforts underway in Massachusetts! Please reach out to Chrystel Murrieta at email@example.com with any questions or suggestions.
Amy Rosenthal, Executive Director, Health Care For All
This blog is part of HCFA's 2019 National Public Health Week series.

Back to: Module: Helping Students Read
If you have read the materials in this module, watched the webinars, and completed at least some of the activities, you should now understand various ways to help students learn to read. As a paraprofessional, you will typically be helping a teacher teach reading. You will not be teaching reading on your own. Perhaps you will work with individual students or perhaps with small groups of students. You will most likely use a lesson plan or activity that the teacher develops.
With your deeper understanding of how children learn to read, you will now be ready to act on the three ideas presented in this unit.
- The purpose of reading is to derive meaning. Instruction in phonics, sight words, vocabulary, and text structure is important. But it should always serve comprehension. Emphasizing the meaning of written material is critical. Tying phonics, sight word, vocabulary, and text-structure lessons to meaningful written material will help students see the relevance of these lessons.
- Students differ in the ways they learn to read. Although many students benefit from learning how to decode using principles of phonics, not all students do. Similarly some students find memorizing sight words easy. Others find it difficult. Trying to match reading instruction to students' learning preferences can help them learn to read more readily and with greater satisfaction.
- Reading should be enjoyable. So too should learning to read. Instructional materials and activities that bore or frustrate students should be replaced with more inviting, accessible materials.

On Thursday, April 6, 44 Sterling High School (SHS) students participated in the annual Math and Science Competition held at Northeastern Junior College (NJC). The students left SHS at 8:30 a.m. and returned at 3 p.m. SHS mathematics teacher Christian Robles spent the day with the students.
The 44 students included: freshmen Kevin Smithgall, Darcy Trump, Ananisia Gallegos, Alexandria Alles, Noah Tonche, Camryn Trump, Alexander Mahaffey, Tyler Prodey, Jaxon McCracken, Joslyne Lopez, Chase Hume, Akayla Mahaffey and Adrian Aguirre, sophomores Liam Skerjanec, Makenna May, Ethan Phelps, Ashby Hux, Greyson Dudley, DeVontae Kilgore, Wesley Younger, Hunter Paxton, Hannah Nelson, Mariah Gohson, Emily Fleckenstein, Zach Loft, Brooklynn Bohler, Ian Cone, Reid Kaiser, Katie Masters, Maggie Alsup and Sadie Holloway, juniors Rachael Northup, Trevor Smith, Riley Schaefer, Cassidy Paxton, Shyloh Ertle, Riley Meisner, Jacob Schroeder, Victoria Trevino, Rebecca Miller, Bodie Hume, Cherie Bell and Saengchat Theerakitpaisal and seniors Abigail Davidson and Victor Ferri.
There were 18 schools that participated in the competition, which included SHS, Akron High School, Brush High School, Caliche High School, Fleming High School, Fort Morgan High School, Holyoke High School, Julesburg High School, Kimball High School, Limon High School, Merino High School, Peetz High School, Prairie High School, Revere High School, Weld Central High School, Wiggins High School, Wray High School and Yuma High School.
The students took tests based off of their grade level. Approximately 95 freshmen participated in the ninth grade science test, 52 in critical thinking and 60 in Algebra I; 109 sophomores participated in the biology test, 54 in critical thinking and 94 in geometry; 59 juniors participated in the Chemistry I test, 49 in critical thinking and 97 in Algebra II; and 26 seniors participated in the physics test, 45 in critical thinking and 21 in calculus. Thirty-two juniors and seniors participated in senior math and 35 participated in trigonometry.
The first testing session was held at 9:20 a.m. It was for the science and critical thinking tests.
The second session was then held at 10:45 a.m. This session was for the subject math and more critical thinking tests.
After the testing sessions, which lasted around an hour, the students had a lunch break until the award ceremony at 1:30 p.m. SHS had four students that placed in the competition.
Akayla Mahaffey placed third in Algebra I.
"I was expecting the test to be very difficult. I felt the test was something I was well equipped for, but I also found some things I need to work on. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity to go. I am so thankful to have gotten third at the fair," she said.
Greyson Dudley placed third in biology.
"The competition was for the most part easy, except botany was hard because I know nothing about flowers," he said. "Taking the test allowed me to learn better test taking strategies."
He is confident that he will take first next year.
Saengchat Theerakitpaisal placed first in Algebra II.
"The test wasn't very hard because I was prepared for it. This is also my first and last American math competition and I am glad I did so good," she said.
Rachael Northup placed second in Chemistry I. The test was easier than she expected it to be.
"I remember reading the questions on the test and thinking, 'Wow! I actually learned this in class!' So that made me feel better. I was glad I could apply what I had learned," she said.
Although science isn't her best subject, the test gave her more confidence in the subject.
"When I found out how I did, I was kind of shocked, but really excited because this was a hard contest to place in and I haven't placed in the top three for a few years now," said Northup.
"Overall, the math and science fair was really fun, if you can call taking tests as being fun."
Robles is very pleased with the results of the competition.
"I was and still am proud and satisfied for their effort. I knew those tests were going to be really difficult, but they came through and these are the results. I'm glad that I got to be part of this experience. It's very rewarding to know as a teacher that all that hard work we put in the classroom somehow pays off. I can't wait to next year," said Robles.
