Running's Flat Belly Payoff
It is now day 4 of my training and I'm proud to report that I'm already seeing results! It's hard to believe but it's true (and I couldn't be happier). But I am pushing myself because I have a reason… I am being held accountable to all of you and I want to thank you! To keep track of my workouts, I've inputted my exercise schedule into my daily planner. I have done two walk/run sessions this week and two cross-training sessions as well as Pilates, spinning and The Bar Method classes.
The payoff: a flatter, leaner belly and my legs are starting to shed some flab!
I have also felt extra motivated to eat better now that I am invested in working out more. I am adding in more greens to my daily intake and losing those sugar cravings. I am grateful to have this chance to challenge myself. This quote by Joe Brown inspired me today to push a little further: "A challenge is an opportunity to prove your ability to yourself, and others."
Do you have a favorite motivational quote? With 5 weeks of training to go, I'll take all the inspiration I can get!

Instead of beginning a 2 1/2 year prison sentence for marijuana trafficking, iconic marijuana activist Dana Beal has been released from custody after suffering a heart attack in a Wisconsin jail. Beal had been awaiting transfer to a state prison to begin serving his sentence when the heart attack struck September 27.
Yesterday, Beal posted this on his Facebook page:
A strange thing happened to me right when they were taking me to prison… They had to let me go cause I up and died on them (heart attack.) I have zero memory of what happened. I think the attack was triggered by a panic which caused shortness of breath because they never tell you they're moving you (security). I had already been in the hole twice for saving food; twice for religious dispute over the Koran. Suddenly I'm on the floor and one of the same guys who put in last time is giving me cpr. They transferred me to the hospital in Dodgeville, which was inadequate, so I ended up waking up in St. Marys in Madison, under police guard. St Marys does hearts, and after about a week the DA and Sheriff let me bail out, cause Iowa county couldn't afford to keep a deputy in Madison…. A few days later I'm doing a double bypass. After a week they kicked me out…
So instead of going to prison for 20 more months, it all became probation. I'm still facing Nebraska charges, and there's no guarantee they're giving me credit for the 9 mos I spent on hold in Wisconsin on their charges. They gave a co-defendent 17 mos. and he didn't even exercise his right to put on a medical necessity defense. I may have to do the same sentencing hearing all over again, with different witnesses.
Beal had pled guilty to trafficking 180 pounds of pot in a bust that unraveled when his 1997 Chevy van got pulled over for expired tags and no tail light. But it was less than the four years the prosecution asked for and well below the 15 year maximum allowable under Wisconsin law.
When not fighting his own cases, Beal has built a career as an activist, first with the Yippies in the early 1970s, then as a founding organizer of the Global Marijuana Marches, and in recent years, as a crusader for the addiction-treating powers of ibogaine with his group Cures Not Wars.

Cons Best Uses
Comments about Blueline® Executive Journal, Black, 7-1/4" x 9-1/4": These journals are well constructed with good hard covers. The pages are glued rather than signature-sewn (i.e. they are "perfect bound") yet I have never had a single loose page problem even when I use these in the field. Writing surface is not "premium artist quality" at this price range, but is very good and highly satisfactory for fast, clear writing. The portion of recycled paper content does not cause a poor writing surface. Included labels and color-coded adhesive tabs are very useful accessories! Square spines allow clear reading of titles when on a shelf. The convenient size of these journals makes them easy to carry anywhere, yet they are large enough to handle substantial amounts of writing, for drafting long texts, taking extensive notes, or recording long-term projects. And they are dressy and durable enough to serve as archival volumes. All this makes them an amazing deal for their low price. For my high-performance situations I require high-quality tools, and in the course of heavy use I have been very happy with these journals for three straight years now. I only worry that they will change the construction and ruin a great product. As of mid-2007, in my experience these are the best deal in blank books anywhere.

Investing in Women
Happy New Year everyone! We kick off 2012 with a brand new "Women Working to Do Good" blog from HelloGiggles. This week's profile features Alexa von Tobel, the founder of a start-up focused on offering personal finance advice to women. In the profile the author writes, "It's a role she was born to play. Alexa says she has known she wanted to be an entrepreneur since she was a little girl, filling notebooks with all her plans for future projects."
With the announcement of President Obama's appointment of Richard Cordray to head the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, information and resources to prevent people from financial tricks and traps are becoming more abundant. For Alexa, her focus has been on educating women and arming them with "money skills" to improve their lives and help achieve their goals. "Alexa says she recognized a huge gap in the market. "Women control approximately eighty percent of household spending. It seemed like a no-brainer."
With so many people making New Year's resolutions to get their fiscal house in order, Alexa's vision and passion to help women save money simply makes a lot of sense.

I am in northern MN and actually have some produce to sell now. But I don't know how to handle it. It is spinach and looseleaf lettuce. Do I wash? Dry? How? any hints or suggestions would be most welcome. I am so excited, it is my first CSA delivery and I want to do it right. Thanks for help. |

I always give my greens a quick rinse and shake dry. I harvest in a mesh bag, then dip the bag into a barrel of water, then spin it around in the air. Then let it drip til dry enough. |
- Posted by boulderbelt 5/6 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 26, 10 at 12:25
Wash them ASAP after harvest in cold water with salt and vinegar (I do around 1/4 cup salt and 1 cup vinegar for 30 gallons). Trim off any bad leaves and plunge into water. the best way to dry is a salad spinner but if you have good rotator cuffs than get a mesh laundry bag and put the washed greens in that and twirl around your head for a couple of minutes. repeat until all the greens are dried. A commercial salad spinner which costs around $175, takes about 1/5th the time and gets the greens a lot drier and less damaged. I feel it is well worth the cost. I pack the washed and dried greens into plastic harvest crates lined with clean and dry towels and than put them into the fridge. Keeping greens between 32 and 42 degrees is really important to keep quality up. For my CSA I bag all the greens as they don't wilt while waiting to be picked up that way. I also keep the shares in a fridge until they are picked up but I have on farm pick up. if delivering you will need enough cooler with ice packs for all the shares to be stored in until pick up. |
Thank you for the quick response. After spending three hours yesterday hand spinning spinach, I am considering a salad spinner. However the only one I could find was at Johnnie's and was 238 dollars. Do you know of an alternative source that is less expensive? And where do folks get their plastic bags? There must be a site somewhere that caters to market gardeners, but I have not been able to find it. Thank you again for taking the time from your busy schedule to respond. |
- Posted by boulderbelt 5/6 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 28, 10 at 9:23
Try this. I see they have gone up in price since I bought one 10 years ago but still a lot cheaper than Johnnys by $50 |

Here's What You Get in the Dad's Guide to Twins
This affordable guide will pay for itself by providing money-saving tips, outlining your preparation options, and eliminating common surprises that accompany every twin pregnancy and the early days of newborn twins.
By the time you finish this book, you'll know:
- preparations you must make for your newborn twins
- answers to "How am I going to pay for all of this?"
- recommended twin supplies and gear: what you should get and what you don't need
- real-life twin dad experiences that you can learn from
- valuable mindsets to help conquer the overwhelm of twins
- brutal challenges twin dads must face and how to endure
- happy things to look forward to
- nagging frustrations that you can minimize or avoid
- the reality of surviving the twin pregnancy
"The book is packed with practical advice, from a father's perspective, on preparing for and raising twins. There is a hefty dose of humor which makes the book fun and easy to read. Mothers of multiples will learn from and enjoy reading this book as well. I highly recommend this book for expectant fathers of multiples."
- Dr. Khanh-Van Le-Bucklin, M.D., Author of Twins 101
Practical Advice for Twin Dads
They don't give you a special "twin dad book" at the hospital, so I wrote this book to help fathers like you survive the twin pregnancy and truly be prepared for newborn twins.
Many expectant dads have written to me and thanked me for sharing my experiences since they haven't been able to find a twin dad's perspective elsewhere.
This guide will help you be prepared and ready to tackle life the next several months without having to wade through a lengthy book you don't have time to read. It is perfect for the expectant twin dad whether your twins are your first and second children or ninth and tenth.
"I really appreciate how the author provides actionable advice that helped us sift through what we would need to purchase to prepare for twins as well as several great ideas how to make those first several months after their arrival easier."
– Eric (5 Star Amazon Reviewer)
"Joe Rawlinson's book was a great guide covering a wide breadth of topics important to expectant fathers of twins – everything from getting a handle on your expenses, to recommended products and baby gear (and whether to buy 1 or 2 of certain products), to how to deal with the anxieties and concerns most expectant fathers have. This book was a great change of pace to the stack of 'mom-to-be'-focused books my wife had accumulated, and has been a resource I've gone to time and again both during the pregnancy and afterwards when adjusting to the new additions to our family."
– Alberto I., Wayne, NJ

We recently bought a house (our first!). It is a trilevel with brick on the bottom and yellow painted wood on the top. My fiance likes raised flower beds and was interested in putting them in the front. What material looks good for raised beds with a brick home? Or do you think that raised beds in this area wouldn't look good or shouldn't be put in because of the existing bushes? Also, should we keep the bushes or would you remove them? Thanks for any advice/suggestions you give!

Follow-Up Postings:
Hi neighbor, It's not clear where you plan on putting the beds, or their arrangement. Looking at your house, I would say stay with the brick like what is on the house. If your brick is less pink/red as in the photo, you might like a polished granite for a slightly formal look. I don't know of any common Arkansas stone that would be a good match for the brick. Red landscape block would look hideous. If your front steps are concrete, you might do poured concrete bed walls with the corners done in brick veneer or polished granite. Are you looking for a DIY type project? |
Hello! Thanks for your response. I am looking for a DIY project. I plan on making some beds in the front (left of the picture) for a vegetable garden. The backyard is all shade. I also thought the red landscape block would look horrible. My fiance thinks the grey landscape block would look good but I don't agree. I'm so excited to do SOMETHING to the yard, but don't know what exactly to do yet! |
Landscape block does not work that well for raised vegie gardens. If you size the bed width so you can reach in to the middle, then the bed has little soil width. Make them wider and you can no longer reach to the middle. Garden beds here do better with a 12 inch soil depth. For those height walls, poured concrete is the way to go, especially where more than one bed is to be built. The cost is comparable to other materials, you get strong, no rot permanent beds, and you can add a veneer of thin brick, stone, or other treatment to make it look good. And a 3.5 inch wall thickness leaves lots of room for gardening in a 4' by 8'bed. |

Students will use Cabri™ Jr. to discover the relationship between the trigonometric functions: sine, cosine and tangent and the side length ratios of a right triangle.
Students use Cabri™ Jr. to find the relationships between ratios of the side lengths and the trigonometric functions. They find the sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle then find the ratio between the hypotenuse, adjacent and opposite sides.
Students then form a hypothesis about the relationships they observe between the trigonometric values and the side lengths.
Students explore the relationships further. They find the missing side lengths of a right triangle by solving algebraically for the unknown.

Date 2003-09-21 Availability unrestricted Abstract Current literature on teaching research methodology in the social sciences points to the changing nature of our world in terms of its complexity and diversity and how this affects the way in which we search for answers to related problems. New ways of approaching research problems that relate to the demands of practice need to be explored, which is in contrast with the 'either-or' world we coach our students for, that is to be either qualitative or quantitative researchers. Also, educational policy reform in South Africa has sought to address the issue of real-life relevance of curricula, and specifically, reformists have turned to proponents of Mode 2 knowledge to inform initiatives for change. This means that tertiary institutions will have to adjust the way in which they deliver education to future generations of South Africans. The aim of this study was to map the content of undergraduate research methodology courses at South African universities and to explore the beliefs held by some academics that inform the way in which these courses are constructed. Critical theory allowed the researcher to search for unequal distributions of power and is defined in this study in its oppressive role, that is, its productive ability to bring about inequalities and human suffering. As some critical social theorists embrace specific, and at times divergent, methodologies, a pluralistic approach, based on Habermas' idea of the relative legitimacy of all theories and methods, was used to. The study revealed that there is a heavy reliance on the methods that are traditionally linked to the positivist paradigm. It also revealed that alternate paradigms focusing on philosophies that dictate the use of qualitative methods are increasingly included in methodology courses and juxtaposed against or used to supplement positivist approaches to research. As academics may struggle to let go of traditional paradigms, they may find a compromise in presenting both. By acknowledging the limitations of past curricula, academics actively seek to change these discourses, but by doing so they may be instituting new hegemonies. One of the findings of this study is thus that distinctions about the content of research courses are being made on a methodological level instead of also acknowledging the epistemological and pragmatic grounds for making choices. Moreover, it is argued that the consensus achieved regarding the curriculum for a research course is the result of conversations held between academics in an ideal speech situation that excludes other significant voices. The lecturers' dominance over the students is maintained in the dialogical activities that they undertake with colleagues that confirm their position of authority in academic society. Students recognise this authority and consent to it. It is proposed that the way forward for curriculum construction lies in establishing academic communities of practice that should be viewed as the type of university that Habermas would advocate: where academics need to share power and be open to the challenges that they face such as negotiating what is accepted as knowledge.

Right at the beginning of the adventure, the PCs are supposed to stop the engines of their shuttle from exploding. This requires two tech-use tests first at +0, then at -20, with 4 Degrees of Failure (failing by 30 or more) triggering an explosion.
A starting enginseer likely has an intelligence value somewhere in the low 40s. He has a combi-tool and probably either a servo-arm servitor or a straight +10 skill bonus.
Thus, he has a chance of about 40-45% to make the test and will blow up everyone on a roll of 70-75 or above.
If the group hasn't got an enginseer, the Operator will have to do. Assuming he's not busy with moving his vehicle against the orkish buggies, he might at least put his tech-use to good, well, use. Sooo… let's go for a 35 intelligence, no +10 and no tool. 15% chance of making the test, 45+ means blowing everyone up. Though it might be argued that he could simply use his comrade's Put That Out! to skip the whole thing, but presumably, that's not intended.
Considering that for many groups, this will be the second roll in the entire game, those chances seem rather harsh to me.

Awlaki Prosecuted in Press by Obama (After He Executed Him.)
Submitted by tuntavern1775 on Fri, 03/15/2013 - 05:48Wow. Incredible balls by this administration. Execute first, then excoriate the "defendant" in the press, using lackeys who keep the identity of the "prosecutors" a secret, and of course, trot out the weary, "national security" line that precludes them from disclosing anything about their methods or reasoning...except that which they want you to know...And these are the people who want our guns???
It's all too frightening.

To be honest, we're just a little core of good friends who are all really surprised at how far we've gotten together.

Outland is great, and there's the excitement that says "Oh, Northrend is up soon!" But then I remember, oh wait. I don't really like Northrend all that much, do I? And then it's a sluggish haul from 70 on up. It sucks.

The world expo 2010 was being held at Shanghai, where many countries participated. Different countries showcased their garner business, investment, handicrafts and many. But India, developing country had many things if decided to showcases but did not do it. India had hired many stalls but mainly empty and some stalls peddles samosa ,naan, rotius lassi .India had a basketful of peddling brassware and bric-brac.a dull emporia of different states of the country.
One would get mood off if you see the Indian emporium for some purchase, really disappointed. The booth incredible India had no one on the stall shows the responsibility of the country said the report. The CII booth had no one on and the stall was locked itself, the goods of the emporium feel were as 20 years ago it was made. As a competitor of China, India could have shown a good show better than this say some visitors. India is a country were many talented craftsmen, ambitious; professionals are present but did not use it.
India spent a large amount but the show was a tacky one which does not impress anyone. The best hero of the show was south Arabia which had spent 675 crore to showcase the beauty of its country. South Arabia arranged a 4 D experience for the visitors of the world expo showing the tech savvy pavilion. India spent 41 crore over the world expo but the show was not a substantial show .Some yoga demonstrations were conducted by India, which were very dull said some visitors.

Forums >Technical Support>Treadmill
I do many of my runs on a Treadmill. How do I get the workout log to reflect this? The dropdown has only "no equipment" as an option. There is no TM option.
I made a TM route under Courses.
an amazing likeness
You could setup a workout "Type", or use a route called "Treadmill". I use the Route = Treadmil option so that I keep the workout type (easy, interval, etc) regardless of whether I ran that type of workout on the road or the treadmill.
Choosing my words carefully has never been my strength I've been known to be vague and often pointless
Thanks, that should work. I wasn't sure if I was missing something.
I have a treadmill "Course" for tm runs. I even have "treadmill" and "treadmill at home" separated so that I can eventually track the number of mile I've put in to my tm (as opposed to hotels/gym tm's)
I too use the course field to denote treadmill. Specifically, I have a "Treadmill (1% incline)" course and "Treadmill (2% incline)" course because somebody on the internet named Strings sent me this link once: http://www.hillrunner.com/training/tmillchart.php

Undescended Testes
Pronounced: "kript-or-kid-ISM"
En Español (Spanish Version)A child's testicles develop before birth. They start inside the abdomen. The testicles should then move down into the scrotum just before birth. Undescended testes stay in or return to the abdomen. A true undescended testicles situation is present at birth. The testicle remains in the abdomen until treated. Other situations that allow the testicles to go up into the abdomen include:
- Retractile testicles—the testicles can move freely between the scrotum and abdomen. This condition does not require treatment and usually disappears by puberty.
- Ascending testicles—a normal testicle returns to the abdomen
Undescended Testis
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Undescended testicles are often caused by a disruption in the development of the testicles. The cause of this disruption is not clear. Genetics may play a role. There may also be some problems with the hormones that help testes develop. The testicles may also have been injured at some point during the pregnancy.

Saint Louis Bread Company Cares™ Community Cafe
10 South Central Ave.
Clayton, MO 63015
(314) 725-9666Located in Panera's (Saint Louis Bread Company) hometown, our Saint Louis location was the pilot run for our non-profit donation-based cafe model. We chose Clayton because it was one of our oldest cafes – we have deep roots in the neighborhood and we were confident that the people of Clayton would help ensure the cafe's success. Saint Louis Bread Co. Cares opened on Sunday, May 16, 2010 and the subsequent opening of additional Panera Cares community cafes has been the best testament to its great success.

The Therm-a-Rest Women's ProLite Plus self-inflating sleeping pad tackles all but the absolute coldest conditions. Built especially for female backpackers and outdoor enthusiasts, the Women's Prolite Plus sleeping pad offers extra insulation at the feet and torso, achieving a warm R-value of 4.6.
The Women's ProLite Plus incorporates cutting-edge foams and fabrics, as well as innovative die-cutting to keep weight and packed size to a minimum. Interior foam provides a full inch-and-a-half of cushioned support. Lightweight and durable fabrics provide durability and a textured surface keeps you on the pad at night.
A self-inflating design allows you to simply unroll the Women's ProLite Plus and open the integrated air valve. The pad's open-celled foam responds by soaking up air, similar to a sponge absorbing liquid. Once the Women's ProLite Plus has inflated, you can adjust the firmness by adding a few puffs of air or pressing down lightly on the pad to release air.
The Therm-a-Rest Women's ProLite Plus measures 20" x 66" and packs down to 11" x 4.1". Adding additional value, Therm-a-Rest includes a stuff sack with every Women's ProLite Plus pad.

Designed for cost-conscious, ounce-counting backpackers, the Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite is a compact, closed-cell foam pad. Dual density foam provides a softer sleeping surface and a denser layer of support on the bottom of the Z-Lite.
The Therm-a-Rest Down Pillow is ideally suited for backpacking and travel. Fully compressed, the pillow takes up surprisingly little room in your car, pack or luggage and lofts up quickly to provide a soft, comfortable headrest.

Look up the Sears number from under the seat. Probably something like 247 or 917.xxxxxx. Go to searspartsdirect.com and enter said number. |

It you threw a belt. You may have pulled the wire/s loose from the PTO clutch or pinched one between the pulley and belt cutting it putting it back on. I marked the hot wire in red and the ground in yellow as a place to start looking at. |
Bill, the model # is 247-28880, hippy, the wires on clutch are OK. |

I can't find a schematic, but have a service manual for a slightly newer version- 247.889xx. In that schematic, the PTO GROUND circuit is controlled by a relay. IF no ground, the the relay is likely bad or making poor contact. |

As soon as I hear from him I'll e-mail you again and try to contact you through here as well to make sure you get the info! |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] AFGHANISTAN/LATAM/EAST ASIA/MESA - Afghan paper calls for closer ties with West, avoiding neighbours - IRAN/US/CHINA/AFGHANISTAN/PAKISTAN/INDIA

Text of editorial entitled "How long mistakes should be repeated?" by
independent Afghan newspaper Cheragh on 9 August
It is said that if a nation does not learn lessons from its history, it
has to go through challenges time and time again. Afghans may be the
only nation in the region who sacrificed and suffered so much in the
past compared to other regional countries. The question remains as to
for what national interests the Afghans sacrificed themselves. What has
the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of Afghans produced?
The Nation daily published an article by Zalmai Khalilzad [former US
ambassador to Afghanistan] on 4 August in which Khalilzad said Karzai
failed to fix differences with Pakistan lately and Pakistan still
continues to support insurgent groups. Majority of Afghan officials
believe the latest string of assassinations are planned and executed by
Pakistan. They also believe Iran is assisting anti-American elements in
Afghanistan in close coordination with Pakistan.
Zalmai Khalilzad pointed out to all these challenges and expressed his
concerns proposing that Obama and President Karzai's administrations
reconsider the strategic partnership agreement.
In this historic phase, Karzai should struggle against Punjabis and
Iranian clerics. He should struggle against religious fundamentalists
who have closed every path leading to development and growth in
Afghanistan. Karzai should overcome his regional enemies in order to
prevent them from meddling in Afghanistan's affairs and causing war and
bloodshed. President Karzai can do this when he engages in direct and
equal deal with the masters of the regional servants.
Regional burglars and neighbours have destroyed Afghanistan. Afghanistan
needs reconstruction. Reconstruction needs national and international
specialists, investment and technical resources. Investment, technical
assistance and training of professional national cadres are ensured by
long-term friendship with the West. Punjab, Iran the Arabs and other
vandals neither have the technical resources nor they can train our
national cadres. They are begging the West for technical resources and
training. They can only train terrorists, religious extremists, vandals
and cannibals. We should first get rid of our neighbours. We should
first become even with them and overcome them. When we have achieved our
goals, then we can deal with the West and ensure that friendship is in
our interests.
Punjab wants a strategic agreement with the United States of America.
They want the West and the US to deal with regional countries through
Punjab. They want the West to engage in regional countries on their
terms. They want any regional country that wants to engage in the West
to deal with Punjab. This is why Punjab is training terrorists and
insurgents and send them to Afghanistan so that Afghanistan is always in
a war and does not get the opportunity to be an alternative for Punjab.
They do not want the West to engage in regional countries through
America has lost its trust in Punjab's friendship and wants to choose
Afghanistan and India as alternatives for Punjab. This changes the game
in the region. In the meantime, Punjab's new friendship with China has
also angered the West. The opportunities that Afghanistan has been lucky
to have are thorns in neighbours' eyes. Everyone wants to benefit from
this opportunity. The government under President Karzai has been losing
these opportunities one after the other over the past 10 years. If the
situation continues to be so, Afghanistan will become a battlefield for
all regional countries.
Final opportunities still exist. Afghanistan's leaders should come
forward and rid Afghanistan of corruption and crimes and direct it
towards development, peace and stability before Afghanistan's lifeboat

Funded by Offices of Special Education Programs; State Personnel Development Grant (SPDG) |
The goal of NH SPDG is to increase the number of students with disabilities and/or at risk of dropping out of school that are college and career ready in NH through the implementation of evidenced based transition practices.
For further information: Next Steps NH Purpose
The purpose of this RFP is to seek proposals and bids from New Hampshire Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) with Special Education Teacher Preparation Programs to develop secondary transition curriculum focused on transition planning, family engagement, and Extended Learning Opportunities (ELOs), in their teacher preparation programs. The intent is for students to leave the Special Education Teacher Preparation Program with knowledge of secondary transition practices and strategies they will need to prepare students to be college and career ready.
Cohort 2 Schools:
Cohort 1 Schools:
Our Cohort 1 schools received RENEW training from our partners at the Institute on Disability at UNH.
This training kicked off in June, at Merrimack Valley High School. Members of their staff along with participants from Kingswood Regional High School, received an in-depth training in the RENEW model and its process to give interested staff a set of skills and strategies to effectively work with struggling youth on a successful transition plan. Representatives from the Parent Information Center (PIC) attended as well to offer insight into effectively engaging families in the RENEW process. The RENEW model is a research-based school-to-career planning and support intervention for youth and young adults with emotional and behavioral support challenges. The model, developed in 1996 in New Hampshire, has been implemented in school, community-based, residential, juvenile justice, and mental health settings and has been shown to positively engage and assist young people who are struggling at home, in school, and in their communities.
Attendees at this two day training received a series of skills and knowledge to start implementing RENEW in their practice. Skills taught are as follows: engaging youth in participating in the RENEW process, personal futures planning with facilitated mapping, resource development to meet the youth's needs, RENEW team process strategies and facilitation, school to career planning, and strategies in supporting the youth to be in charge of the RENEW process. A brief overview of systemic features that need to be in place to ensure the successful implementation of RENEW was covered through group activities, instruction, and videos. A third day booster training for all participants attending this training will be offered in the fall, in addition to follow-up technical assistance . This 2 day training will continue to be offered this summer to our other Cohort 1 schools. These schools include: Kingswood Regional High School, Kennett High School, and Mascoma Regional High School. |
