Some more about me and some about my research
Hello to the PulseWire community,
For those of you who don't know me, I am a volunteer here at World Pulse helping rock star Rachael and superstar Scott out with the Voices of Our Future program. I have volunteered with World Pulse off and on since 2009 and love being a part of this community. It is incredibly inspiring seeing so many of you share and connect on this forum, and I have, for some time now, wanted to engage more in this space but haven't known exactly where to start.
In the role of VOF Listener, I read and commented on posts and offered my feedback to VOF applicants. In this role, however, I began to feel a disconnect between what I was hoping to see from others; that is, a personal engagement with the community through the sharing of stories, and what I myself was contributing. And I began to reflect on the fact that the building of relationships is not a one-way street. I must share parts of my self, of my own life, in order for personal connections with others here to begin to bud. And while this is something that comes more naturally to me in face to face interactions, it has been a challenge for me online. So, here I am, Emily Garcia; I am a voice of the Pulse and a woman deeply motivated by the passion and dedication I see exhibited here for the causes and empowerment of women around the world. And here is my voice. Here is where I'm coming from:
I come from a family of five sisters, a mother and a father, two sets of grandparents and an enormous group of aunts, great aunts, uncles, great uncles, cousins, first cousins once removed and second cousins. I have a big Irish Catholic family on my mother's side and a Puerto Rican Catholic family on my father's. While I grew up mostly with my mother's family, my mixed heritage has been an important piece of my identity causing confusion at times, pride at others, and always motivating me to try and look at the world from multiple points of view...which isn't always very easy to do.
I grew up in Southern California. I am the oldest and as follows was the bossy britches until I left for college at the age of 18. I love my sisters and feel so lucky to have grown up in a house full of intelligent, creative and kind growing girls. I myself have loved writing since I was a little girl and began writing stories in 1st grade. When I got a bit older, I grew terribly self-conscious and wrote less and less and hardly ever shared my writing with others.
In college I studied English and Global Studies, and in my final year of college I took a Women in Literature course and it was then that I fell in love with Marguerite Duras' book The Lover. In fact I read this book as the author's own coming of age novel in which she writes herself into being, and it inspired me. And so, emerging from my personal longing to find my own creative being, is my support (indeed my love) for women writers and story tellers who have overcome the obstacles to validating their being through personal testimony.
And this is one of the many reasons I love PulseWire. I see each story shared in this community as an act of agency validating one's self worth and an act of resistance against the many discourses in our societies around the globe that say women are worthless. While these discourses are varied depending on the context and community and some seemingly more severe than others; for example, I do not feel that I as a woman am in constant threat of physical violence in my community, all discourses against women damage the spirit of both men and women. For me personally, my greatest struggle has been to remove that within my consciousness that says my self-worth is determined by my looks and my body. My rational self tells me all the reasons why this is absurd...and yet, someway, somehow (the potential sources for this irrational reasoning are innumerable in my society) it has become ingrained in my psyche.
I am currently finishing up a Master's program in Global Studies, and for my thesis I began researching women bloggers in India and South Africa (as I attended university here in New Delhi and Cape Town this past year) and found a great number blogging about violence against women. In fact, here on PulseWire some of you have participated in blogging campaigns for the International Violence Against Women Act, for the 16 days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence (and today I see that this campaign is about to begin again!) and some have even shared their personal stories of violence that happened to them or to women close to them. These stories are, on the one hand, heartbreaking and infuriating, and on the other hand, cause for celebration in the sense that they are out in open, in public for the spread of awareness and the call for solidarity across-borders against such abuse.
I'm at the point in my research now where I would like to get in touch with the women who blog or have blogged about gender-based violence to ask about their experience of blogging on these personal issues, and yet, I hesitate not knowing how to approach such a sensitive subject without causing anyone any upset. I can see how some might question my motives, but my motives are sincere—I am researching this subject in order to evaluate new media's role in gender-based violence. In some cases women are threatened by new media and in some cases empowered. So, this is what I'm exploring through personal narratives in order to get a humanist perspective. Any suggestions, thoughts or comments about this will be most welcome.
Thanks to all for listening! This has been a good experience for me sharing here with you.
I'm looking forward to connecting more! :)
Warm wishes,
Chica Bonita! You express
Chica Bonita!
You express yourself so eloquently, no surprise considering the incredible woman that you are! I am so excited for your studies and where they will lead you. Any time you need someone to read over something, I would love to. Your voice is powerful and humble, I look forward to seeing more of your written voice here on PulseWire.
Love you!
Beauty in voice
Thanks for your bravery in writing Emily and your beautiful spirit - inside and out.
I felt so good reading your
I felt so good reading your post. Thanks a ton for sharing.
A few points
Dear Emily
I loved the observation you did and to be very honest, that's almost what I feel. I am talking about the way to communicate. I have been observing a lot, reading a lot too and getting involved as much as I can.And with pain I have to admit that a lot of us are acting in 2 specific ways - both faulty.
Group 1: only disseminating. This group is only delivering a message,but not asking others' tales which shows lack of interest in others. You are seeking an audience, but not interested in being a
part of the audience.
Group2.Only listening. Reading and commenting is good. But by not telling your story, you stay alienated. It shows as though you are a mere observer, you are not 'one of them'.
I think when it comes to talking of sensitive issues like gender violence, the 2nd group will have more trouble than the 1st.Why/ because here, in WP forum,women are coming to 'sisterhood', not to a counseling center. They are not looking to meet 'sympathetic listeners', but women like them who have felt the pain some way and are not ashamed/or snobbish enough to talk about that.
So, I really am happy that you decided to write this post. Its a symbolic shift from being outside the fence to going a little inside. I hope this will really take you closer to your goals.
On a related issue, I saw your question in India Cafe about dowry. Since its already a much talked about issue, I thought of writing a new post from a new perspective and some new facts.
Once again, am happy to see your post and hoping to hear more from you in coming days. Much love

Dear Emily
Dear Emily,
I think you work and interest on women rights is commendable. I understand your fears about requesting for information for your research, especially since some of the information is personal. In my experience, many people are suspicious of your intentions and in some cases, their personal security. I would suggest you prepare answers to possible questions that might arise and have a confidentiality document available so that you can also address such issues. You can prepare a plan for how to deal with request for Anonymity.
I am new to blogging but if you have a statement of purpose or a short concept note for your potential respondents, I can circulate it within my listserv and they can contact you directly.
I wish you all the best.
Best regards,
Twitter: @livingtruely
Dear Emily-
Putting into words the clouds of thought that pass through our heads may be scary at first. Daunting even. But there is such a freedom, isn't there, once it is done? Especially in such a forum as this, where I have found such absence of judgement, as there can be on other social network sites. So, when exploring the effectiveness, power, etc. of this newer media, I find one may want to get quite specific when discussing it. For example, the outcome or experience one emotes by clicking away at the keyboard may depend on what kind of person is at the other end.
Thank you, Emily, for taking the chance of putting your heart out there. I, too, have struggled with self-judgement of my body. Your honesty encourages me to be honest, too, and take risks while writing here.
Thank you for your work at WP. I'm glad you found your niche!
Peace and Hope-
Let us Hope together-
aka: Cali gal
dinner tonight
Emily- Sorry we never got a chance to chat and connect. I hope to be able to talk to you tomorrow, so please find me somehow.
Looking forward to it!
Let us Hope together-

Two new Man Of Steel TV spots swoop in: watch now
Man Of Steel has revealed another pair of TV spots online and if you're avoiding all SPOILERS you might want to give these a miss: these feature Russell Crowe's Jor-El giving old Supes a stirring pep talk, and Amy Adams' Lois Lane grilling him as to his identity, "Why did you send me here?" asks Superman, before his father explains just what he can become if he dedicates himself to the people of Earth. The first teaser also finishes off with a very cool reveal, as it becomes apparent that Superman isn't the only one rocking a giant "S" on his chest. Oh, sorry, it's not an "S" is it? Take a look at the new spots below: We're beginning to wonder just how many more of these TV spots are going to be unveiled before the film finally arrives this summer. Just when you think the promotional push has been wrapped up, another few snippets of footage are released into the wild… Directed by Zack Snyder and co-starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams and Michael Shannon, Man Of Steel opens in the UK on 14 June 2013.

DEFINITION of 'Social Audit'
A formal review of a company's endeavors in social responsibility. A social audit looks at factors such as a company's record of charitable giving, volunteer activity, energy use, transparency, work environment and worker pay and benefits to evaluate what kind of social and environmental impact a company is having in the locations where it operates. Social audits are optional--companies can choose whether to perform them and whether to release the results publicly or only use them internally.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Social Audit'
In the era of corporate social responsibility, where corporations are often expected not just to deliver value to consumers and shareholders but also to meet environmental and social standards deemed desirable by some vocal members of the general public, social audits can help companies create, improve and maintain a positive public relations image. Good public relations is key because the way a company is perceived will usually have an impact on its bottom line.

Smoke rises after an Israeli strike, in Gaza City, northern Gaza Strip on Aug. 2, 2014.Photo by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
JERUSALEM — Israel's military has declared dead a soldier who was previously believed captured by Hamas gunmen in Gaza violence that shattered a temporary ceasefire.
The military announced early Sunday morning that 23-year-old Hadar Goldin of the Givati infantry brigade had been killed in battle on Friday.
Israel's defense minister, along with the chief military rabbi, met with the soldier's family at their home in the town of Kfar Saba.
Hundreds of well-wishers from around Israel gathered outside their home, praying and showing their support. There was an outpouring of grief among the crowd when the military's announcement was made public.

I bought this a couple days ago because I had a gift card here (and I had no idea on what to spend it on!!) so i bought this. I had heard good reviews about it, so I decided to try it out myself. It smells wonderful, and I wear it everyday. It lasts for a long time also, and it does not overpower you or make you smell too perfumey....Completely reccomend!!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Virginia gets small piece of $8 billion in federal stimulus funds for high speed rail
Yesterday's award comes from $8 billion set aside for high-speed rail projects in the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. States applied for the rail money over the past year, submitting $102 billion in requests. President Obama announced the recipients yesterday at a town hall meeting in Tampa, Fla.
California got the largest award: $2.3 billion to start work on high-speed rail between several major cities. Florida will receive $1.2 billion for high-speed rail between Tampa and Orlando, and Illinois and Missouri were awarded $1.1 billion to start high-speed rail between Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City, Mo.
North Carolina received $520 million for high-speed rail between Raleigh and Charlotte, and $25 million to upgrade the tracks between Raleigh and Richmond.
While the $75 million award will improve travel for Fredericksburg-area residents, there was disappointment Virginia did not receive more funding for the Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor, which envisions rapid train service between Charlotte and Washington.
Virginia did not receive $1.8 billion it requested to upgrade the railroad tracks between Petersburg and Washington, D.C. Those upgrades were necessary to achieve the state's goal of running passenger trains at 90 mph between Richmond and Washington by 2017.
While high-speed rail will not come to Richmond as soon as hoped, Drake said the $75 million investment is an encouraging sign.
"The federal government wouldn't be spending $75 million in your area if they weren't committed to the project," Drake said.
Drake didn't know if the status of the two projects made a difference. The Arkendale to Powell's Creek project was ready for construction, while the $1.8 billion application involved more preliminary work.
"I don't know if they stepped back and said we only want to take the tier that is shovel-ready or if they did a mixing," she said.
Daniel Plaugher, executive director of Virginians for High Speed Rail, said any disappointment over the overlooked $1.8 billion application was outweighed by the positive start with the $75 million.
The third track should improve passenger train on-time performance by 2 percent, Plaugher said, and money headed to North Carolina will eventually help the entire rail corridor.
"It's definitely a first step toward high-speed rail between Washington, Richmond, Raleigh and points south," Plaugher said.
Nationwide, it was an important day for rail advocates, Plaugher said.
"This $8 billion is the largest investment in rail since President Lincoln built the transcontinental railroad," Plaugher said. "It's really been that long since the U.S. has invested in it."

Book of Common Prayer/Hymnal 1982 Combination, Black
This volume and its companion in red cover are a very popular book, both for one's own personal use, and as a gift. For those who sing in the Episcopal Church regularly, combining the prayer book with the Episcopal Hymnal makes a handy gift, for yourself or someone you care about.
It combines The Book of Common Prayer 1979 and The Hymnal 1982 in one elegant volume bound in genunine leather. It is printed on special lightweight paper and is chancel size (5-7/8 x 8-1/4). It includes gold page edges, six ribbon markers, and comes in its own gift box.
This volume now includes the Revised Common Lectionary replacing the former Sunday Eucharistic Lectionary. (The Daily Office Lectionary has not changed and it remains as it has been in this book.)
The Episcopal Church uses the prayer book during worship, in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, as well as during the Daily Offices of Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, and Compline. Episcopalians also value The Book of Common Prayer (prayer book) for daily private devotions and prayers.
Love It!
I use it in church every Sunday. The Lectionary is current, and the page numbers are exactly as they are in the books at church.
My minister uses the same book. It's very handy to have the BCP with the Hymnal in one book. The page markers are also very handy.
Great quality!
I purchased this item as a gift for an adult confirmand, he LOVES it. It looks great, the name imprinting is perfect, and this prayer book/hymnal is exactly what he wanted. I highly recommend this item!
Superb books and service. Also appreciated the book review , "invention of Wings,"and bought it.
I love the Episcopal Bookstore Online - they haven't disappointed me once!
This is perfect for the family. It has everything you would need for intimate family studies and devotionals with lots pleasantly surprising extras.
This is a beautiful and extremely useful production of the 1979 Prayer Book and the 1982 Hymn Book. My wife brings it to every service we attend and is so thankful to not have to spend time during worship fiddling with two separate books. She looks at the schedule for the worship and places one of the generous number of ribbons at each page we will be using. Thank you Episcopal Bookstore! What a wonderful ministry you run!
I am very happy with this!!! Makes Service much easier...
Orders always on time.
Thank you excellent service and kindness in the emails...
Quality of the book and inscription are perfect. Production and shipping were prompt. Communications from the owner were heart-felt as if we were friends.
One always loves when a vendor over performs. My wife ordered the engraved BCP/hymnal as a Christamas present for me. It came early and I was able to use it for our Christmas Eve service. Outstanding service and the detailing of the engraving is beautiful. Thank you very much and I will be using your compamy again for gifts for fellow clergy.
By blind luck I found John and Nancy when looking for a prayerbook for an adult confirmation. They've willingly and quickly helped me out of a jam when I ordered another (and forgot to hit enter to have it personalized.) Somehow I love the coast to coast connection..two of the prayer/hymnals are in Eastport ME.
Thanks to you both for your loving care and concern.

"I am an Episcopal priest in love with our tradition. At the same time I want it to work hard to keep its own integrity and strive to eliminate denominationalism. This store has a diversity of offerings and is astonishingly pastoral in the way it processes its sales on line. Imagine a thank you note!"

FORT WAYNE – Although they just finalized a location this week, organizers of the Smith Academy for Excellence say they are ready to start school on Monday.
Board members of the all-boys charter school approved a lease Thursday to house their school at St. John Lutheran School on West Washington Boulevard. The Timothy L. Johnson Academy, the charter school which used the building last year, is renting out the space.
School founder and Principal Thomas Smith said the one-year-lease would be $7,300 a month and would include custodial services. He said the building would not be the school's permanent location, and that he would continue to explore opportunities to move to the southeast side of town.
St. John Lutheran Church closed St. John Lutheran School in 2010 as a result of financial constraints.
To date, Smith said, the school has 74 kids enrolled, though he expects six to enroll today. Due to the delay in narrowing down a location, he said some families decided to enroll their children elsewhere. But he said most parents wanted to stick with the school anyway.
It has been quite an interesting undertaking, he said. But it's been great to have so many families who are so excited about the school.
Smith said he has 11 staff members hired, including eight licensed teachers.
In March, Grace College granted a seven-year charter to Smith, former Wayne High School principal, and his two sons, who wanted to start an all-boys school on the city's southeast side.
The Smiths said the school – one of two new all-boys charter schools in the state – will emphasize college preparation, character education and service learning while giving students exposure to sports.
Originally, the Smiths wanted to build a school at Paulding and Hessen Cassel roads. That fell through when the seller changed plans. The group had been struggling to pinpoint a location since.

If you are blessed with oily skin then you cannot escape from blackheads at all. Each of us suffer from blackheads in our life starting from the time we enter our teenage to the early twenties or thirties and sometimes the blackheads misery continues even after, thanks to the oily skin of ours. There are ways to get rid of blackheads so do lot loose your heart just try the natural remedies coming directly from your kitchen shelf.
The best way to exfoliate for blackheads is to use all natural ingredients from your kitchen itself and forget those expensive ways to exfoliate for blackheads.
Blackheads occur due to oily skin, environmental pollution, poor cleansing routine, blockage of pores or due to excess of sebaceous secretion. The most important thing to keep in mind is to use natural ingredients and do not go for harsh products which can only lead to strip the skin of oil and will only produce more sebum which is not at all good as you will end up with more blackheads.
You should always opt for a gentle exfoliator each day to remove those dead skin cells. Exfoliation should to be a regular feature for your skin if you really want to get rid of those blackheads. Exfoliating your skin helps you to clear the pores of dead skin and other oils that clog pores. Normally you should exfoliate at least 2 - 3 times per week.
The natural ingredients directly from the kitchen which can be used to exfoliate for blackheads are
Besides using honey in the kitchen you can also use it as a natural ingredient for removing blackheads. Just apply warm honey on your blackheads and let it dry for 8 -10 minutes. In the end peel the honey off and wash your face with water. The result is really amazing as all your blackheads will come out effortlessly and will also give a nice refreshing glow to your skin.
Potatoes a must for every kitchen are a great natural beauty aid product. The usage is very simple just grate one potato and apply it in your full face as it is very good to get rid of wrinkles, whiteheads and blackheads.
You can use lemon as a perfect exfoliate for blackheads. Mix 1 part water to 5 parts of lemon juice, and massage the solution onto your face. Then, rinse your face after with cool water. Rinse thoroughly and find a fresh and glowing skin. The lemon juice helps a great deal to exfoliate the blackheads naturally.
Change your pillow case regularly and do not use your pillow case for long but try changing it as often as possible because during the night your hair follicles produce oil which easily gets accumulated in your pillow case and then gets to your face and skin. Getting oil and dust to your face from the pillow case is a common cause of blackheads.
To avoid blackheads always wash your face at least twice or thrice with gentle soap or cleanser each day and try to limit your use of cosmetics as far as possible. Buy make up which is labeled "non-comedogenic" as products marked with this label do not clog pores at all. Never never go to sleep with your make up on. Always remove the make up with gentle cleanser or use some milk and damp the cotton in the milk and use it as a cleanser.
Most of all remember that you should never try to extract your blackheads with your fingers, fingernails or a blackhead remover as it can lead to permanent damage and you might end up with some permanent spots or scars.

Hugs to you,
There were four of us too but it was a two and two situation. Now don't you all you look cute. I looked at the picture before I read any comments and I picked you for the left side and Carol on the right side. Happy Birthday Sister.
Well the photographer obviously spent a lot of time fluffing your dress. Why didn't he tell me to close my mouth since my teeth were missing? Dottie must have been first in the bang trimming line up and after mom did hers she decided to go a little longer on us. whew! I made myself a big ol' lemon cake last night. Why don't you all come over for some? You too Brother.
What a gorgeous bunch of kids and no wonder Mama Moss is proud. The faces easily tell who's who!
wonderful wonderful new photo of you - it says so much. great choice!
The bangs are just right. My mother used to do economy bang cutting; cut 'em reeeel short so you didn't have to do it again for six months or more.

Refreshing. I add it to smoothies for the great orange taste and Vit. C jolt. I was very relieved when this company dumped the aspartame in this product.

Most pleasant way to get a vitamin C shot. We have a packet in a little warm water first thing in the morning and seems to help banish aches and stiffness.

I spent 8 hours a day on a hospital ward, every day for 3 solid weeks when there were many patients on the floor suffering from a super-bug. I was stationed right outside their isolation rooms as nurses suited up and came and went from the rooms, the doors opening and closing all the time. At the time I didnt know about the super-bug - had no idea what afflicted the people in isolation. About a week into my time there, I started rapidly developing a pretty nasty sore throat. That's when one of the nurses told me about the super-bug. Normally, when I experience the precise symptoms I was having, it quickly develops into severe strep throat and then progresses into very bad head conjestion, terrible couching, bad plegm, etc. and has me sick in bed for 3 weeks on average. Nothing I try can typically halt its progression once the first symptoms appear. However, this time, as soon as I felt these symptoms setting in (and they were coming on strong), I began popping 2 "Natural Factors GrapeSeedRich Grape Seed Extract" twice a day, as well as 1-2 pycnogenol twice a day, and about 3 Emergen-C packets a day. It was amazing. I was able to completely stave off the symptoms, getting away with only the mildest scratchy throat for a few days, instead of full blown strep throat to the point that I am normally unable to talk for a couple of weeks and would normally experience intense throat pain. The Emercen-C, Natural Factors grapeseed exract, and pycnogenol was a potent combination, and now whenever I or my loved ones appear to be coming down with anything, we immediately begin taking these 3 supplements together and all symptoms back right off.
Great boost when you're sick

Whenever anyone in my family gets sick, we take two packets a day and it really helps speed up our recovery. I don't even take any meds - just Emergen-C and lots of water and rest. I don't normally take it every single day when I'm not sick, but during times when I feel like a cold might be creeping up, I take one packet and it keeps any sickness at bay. I also find Super Orange the best tasting flavor among all the flavors I've tried. It's least artificial (and not as sweet). I've re-ordered plenty of times and will continue to do so.
