Mary Alexander Does She Even Understand What Calumny Is
Now, I am not "Brett." But I ambiguous offer is a occurrence for Ms. Alexander's fake criticism. You see, Ms. Alexander has protected the after Set off Leonard Feeney. And I am, of course, on book as opposing Set off Feeney's interpretation of the tenet "Float up the Church offer is no exchange." This wouldn't be the exceed time Ms. Alexander has demonstrated some rank of ordeal with me or an aloofness. In the observations chart of a unusual post portray at La Salette Torment, Ms. Alexander dead a hint implying that the Church's 1980 Rule on Euthanasia was in some way "obsolete." She was absolutely corrected by others who reminded her that the Catechism of the Catholic Church cites this document as arrogant (see portray).
And this wouldn't be the exceed time that Ms. Alexander has full in thoughtless rhetoric. In her Blog post shielding Set off Leonard Feeney, whose interpretation of the tenet "Float up the Church offer is no exchange" was condemned by Pope Pius XII, she had some reasonably upsetting words for the after Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, a very-well esteemed priest who was definite to the Church and her teaching. Ms. Alexander referred to this exceptional priest and solid-Catholic psyche as living stupid and blameless (see portray).
I try that Ms. Alexander would help from visiting this attachment to read up on defame. This brand new bravado says (in part): "..the calumniator is give to passable reimbursement for the damage perpetrated by the blackening of another's good name. HE IS Sure TO Bring to mind HIS Pretend statements.
Ms. Alexander is by the book about one thing time. We all plea to pray for fill with who calumniate us. I will get by the book on that.
Relatable reading portray.

To the Editor:
As in so many municipalities in New Jersey mentioned in your Oct. 19 article ''Holding Their Ground," Wayne is experiencing a shortage of playing fields that has caused disputes among an array of soccer leagues in the fall and baseball teams in the spring: boys, girls and adult. But on election day on Tuesday, Wayne's citizens will have an opportunity to help ease the problem by doubling the amount of state matching funds Wayne can count on for open space, farmland and historic preservation as well as recreational development projects. By voting for a local Open Space Fund, voters will enable Wayne to file grants under the state's planning incentive program, which provides a 50 percent match compared to the 25 percent typically available under the green acres program. The planning incentive program also simplifies the application process, thereby reducing administrative costs for both the local municipality and the state.
With undeveloped land rapidly disappearing across New Jersey, the time to act to accelerate open space programs and the development of additional recreational facilities is now. After all, recreational facilities cannot be installed without suitable parcels of land to put them on. In addition, open space is essential to maintain and improve the quality of life throughout New Jersey, the most urban state in the nation. In many instances, it is the key to retaining ground water, assuring an adequate supply of safe, clean water for residents and preventing further traffic congestion.

This article contains plot details about an upcoming episode.
The following page is an ideas pool for all future ideas for k21 squared. Extreme spoiler warning.
Needs to be finished and include lots of fun times.
Characters that need to be developed further
Li-Pau Nao
Responsible for killing Aurelie (doesn't matter if she's an agent or cyborg, Nao kills her) because of this a repugnance is sparked between him and Eric. He doesn't actually kill her, (however his attempts to do so are found out by her.), but his actions lead to her death.
In truth, Aurelie had chosen to end her own life. With Jacinta being taken over by her shadow side, Aurelie realises that she could never have a proper family. The extent of the chaos unfolding around her causes her to lose the will to live, feeling party responsible for everything, and also due to the fact that she is not human to begin with.
Nao is then accused of doing it, with Eric refusing to belive that what Aurelie truly did to herself.
Much later, Eric find out that her will to kill herself was a sequence initated by the VA. When Miki finds out the sheer artificial nature of Aurelie's emotions, it causes herself to break.
Oni Uboa
Responsible for triggering a lot of the the Neo World War with the uprisal of Sector Z.
His relationship to Mark may be nonexistent to remove clutter.
Miki Albraun
I have some very sickening ideas in store for her.
Jacinta x Eric
He knocks her up

Seeing as EVERYBODY ELSE seems to suffer or die, Eric needs to have something horrific happen to him. You just do not have someone waltz through a setting like this unscathed. Also, killing of family members isn't really Claude's style, seems to be more a Vamana thing. --Cal XDMy Talk 03:07, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
Eric's father did enough bad to him. And the whole world is against the one he loves - and he has to save her, which is dangerous, because she could turn on him uncontrollably at any second. And sure, Vamana it is. He seemed to be missing out a bit anyway. --NecrusIV-(Talk |My Wiki) 03:17, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
He needs to suffer more. I'm thinking he's missing an ear and two of his fingers from a failed kidnapping. I can already see that turning into a short story as we speak. Cal XDMy Talk 03:22, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
If you want to get out all your rage on him, then go ahead, make a short story about killing him. --NecrusIV-(Talk |My Wiki) 03:34, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
Death seems a bit extreme. But he is going to suffer a lot more in the run up to K21 Squared. Being kidnapped by Vamana and tortured. Cal XDMy Talk 15:33, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
We can't have all evil dominating the good indefinitely, there needs to be a reason why. Vamana possibly senses a key factor to Jacinta's overwhelming elemental power is her desire to protect Eric (and vice-versa). So therefore Vamana tries to torture him... possibly to get information out, or to implant an artificial node in his brain which then makes him function the same way as Laurence. He'd of course be saved possibly right in the process of the operation... to build up maximum tension --NecrusIV-(Talk |My Wiki) 23:57, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
No, this is completely before Jacinta. Long before her powers awaken. Eric is captured in order to try and demoralise/blackmail Kenneth, as Vamana is banking on the Ice Elemental's parental urge to save his son. However, Vamana fails to realise Kenneth has become just as heartless as he is, and so the Guardian of Ice essentially ignores the fact his son has been kidnapped. Eric is eventually released by an enraged Vamana, after having a couple of fingers and an ear removed from the poor child. He is of course beaten soundly before being dumped in Sector VII. Cal XDMy Talk 00:15, October 28, 2012 (UTC)
Not to sound like a scumbag, but where's Nao in all of this? He may be the Chef Information Officer, but at least let him kill a few scrubs. pweeez? Ave Dominus Nox! (talk) 01:29, October 28, 2012 (UTC)
You could say that he needs more action. *puts on shades* NAO! YEEEAAAHHH! Cal XDMy Talk 16:04, October 28, 2012 (UTC)
Oh fingers and ears removed. That goes directly against his current character design... (facepalm). Something creative rather than turning him into a pirate? I'd say large odd-shaped burn mark on the front and back of his chest + other scars. The burn mark would be a machine that would have held him in a vice, which negatively charged the aeotons around him, causing a crippling, seething shock. It'd look like a box formation of nine dots. Perhaps the scar somewhat hindered his elemental development in the future.
--NecrusIV-(Talk |My Wiki) 00:02, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
I like how you ripped off a large amount of my plot and barely reworded it into your own. xD I don't even get commended on my lateral thinking? For shifting my style from bleak to hopeful (with bitersweet)? Nope, instead you criticise my character building ideas for Eric. And I plan to merely have him scarred multiple times on his back (think hundreds of incisions) as he is tortured for answers he genuinely doesn't know. As for having lost an ear, I am sure by K21 they have the technology for prosthetics. Cal XDMy Talk 02:01, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
Also, your plot is all over the place, at least mine is coherent. And I am not having Laurence turn violently against Alison. This is purely for practical reasons, as he never gets close enough to hurt her, as he is incapacitated by Eric during the final fight. Also, you should stick to your original plan of the series ending in Block 441, with the final confrontation with Claude being the last event of the series, with the implied victory of Ghost_K (as the world falls into chaos). We then have the epilogue to wrap things up with Eric x Jacinta (since as much as I hate to admit it, it is nice to see a soppy ending for them); Vamana; Laurence x Alison (and her child... since that's happening Necrus) and of course the roll of Asiduus. He will have some rather poignant points to make as he rescues his grandson. Cal XDMy Talk 02:19, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
Sorry. I'm stressed. My creativity doesn't work too well when it's suppressed. Maybe it's your liking for making everything ridiculously bleak that's ding it. xD
Commendations? *Sigh* okay. Thank you for the plot ideas a lot of them are really good. Please take me taking and rewording them as a thanks and the notion that your ideas are good. You'll get plenty of commendations in the end, for now this is like a collage of ideas. I don't think in a linear fashion. Alright, prosthetics it is.--NecrusIV-(Talk |My Wiki) 02:20, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
Can I format it into a storyboard that uses the best of the ideas from the both of us? Cal XDMy Talk 02:22, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
You can put them together if you'd like, with conflicting ideas sitting next to eachother as "either / or" for the sake of easy readability. We can then agree upon thinks easier. --NecrusIV-(Talk |My Wiki) 02:29, October 29, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah Cal I want a better ending than a simple kill everyone scenario. It's bloody pointless killing everyone if there's no message underneath. Some of your ideas are good, though. --NecrusIV-(Talk |My Wiki) 02:57, October 27, 2012
I'm willing to use your version of events, provided I can at least imply Eric's death. I don't mind Jacinta surviving, so long as he dies. In which case I wouldn't gratuitously kill Alison. On the subject of Alison, the having her knocked up part would be an interesting dynamic. Cal XDMy Talk 03:01, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
I don't want Eric to die. The whole semi happy ending part becomes useless then. Why have him die anyway, personal grudge? He's not useless, he has just given up and appears that way... for now. Knocked up how? Slang wise that means impregnate her. Is that what you're implying? --NecrusIV-(Talk |My Wiki) 03:08, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
See above for Eric. As for Alison/Laurence, well yeah. It would sure as hell make their lives more chaotic, especially when Ghost_K are essentialy at war. Cal XDMy Talk 03:10, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
Fine. Well in that case, I'd like to have Eric kill Laurence. finally get some blood on his hands. --NecrusIV-(Talk |My Wiki) 03:14, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
Laurence needs to survive so he witnesses the consequences of his betrayal. But yes, we can have Eric be the one who incapacitates him. Have him have a nice elemental duel with Laurence. And we can have Eric believe he killed Laurence, before the triple-agent is recovered. Also, I think having Eric kill Jordan would be nice. Don't have Jordan undergo a realisation, he is a soldier who knows what he signed up for. Having the sudden change of heart because of family is intensely cliched. Cal XDMy Talk 15:43, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
That's a good point. It'd be tough for Eric, killing Jacinta's father, whom she dearly loves and had spent all her effort to try and find. And Laurence seeing the concequenes of his actions presents a message to the reader, which makes a good story all the more worthwhile. --NecrusIV-(Talk |My Wiki) 23:58, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
Yay! Something we agree on. It's a miracle. Yes, I was kind of thinking his self realisation would present a nice message for the reader. I plan to leave his fate amibigous (as in something that means implied suicide or redemption) after he sees all he loved destroyed by his own hand. Cal XDMy Talk 00:20, October 28, 2012 (UTC)

Good. I'm liking this a lot better. Are you happy with how it is?
I support your plans for making this story depressing, as long as it isn't as bleak as EoE. However: Why does Oni want to suddenly oppose Sector Z when he initially supports it after confronting Mark? Is he bitter over his father's death? That could work if we implement it well. --NecrusIV-(Talk |My Wiki) 04:25, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
His rational is that he wants to ruin the rebellion purely because it is now operating under the strings of Vamana. Even though he supports the idea of Sector Z, he has an issue with the means (well, specifically Vamana, since he killed his father). Cal XDMy Talk 23:16, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
Alright. Sweet. Well we have a basic skeleton for this storyline thankfully. If there's anything else you want to add let me know --NecrusIV-(Talk |My Wiki) 23:39, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
This just leaves one faction left. The RWA. I see no real reason why I should let them live, so I have a suggestion to kill them off. Arekusanda finds out that his "benefactor" is none other than Vamana himself (possibly learning this through Ghost_k?). With this knowledge, he realises Vamana and the IWU will kill him and probably replace him with one of their own. Afraid of his imminent demise, he contacts the remnant of Ghost_k and makes an alliance with them. He moves as many of the Whites as he can into the area around Block 441, intent on defending against the IWU's inevitable attack. When Vamana and co do attack, they bring with them a large contingent of IWU forces, which battle them around a first line of defences between them and 441. The battle takes some time, as the RWA are intent on fighting to the death, but eventually the superior IWU forces push through, where they encounter the second line of defence, manned by the White Guard (writing more on them later), who are considerably harder to kill and personally commanded by Arekusanda. Heavy fighting ensues and Arekusanda is personally killed by Vamana. As a breach in their lines open up, Claude, Vamana and the BWEG go down to eliminate Ghost_k, while the IWU mop up the rest of the White Guards. From that point onwards it continues as per written. --Lither My talk My wiki 01:29, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
I like the sound of that. It would also make Claude's death more significant (as it fucks over everyone) and we can have the IWU in place of the Vallarian Soldiers. I was thinking that Vamana would leave after killing Arekusanda (not wanting to risk his own neck when he firmly believes his terrier will finish the job), thus that providing the reason he survives the massacre. Or perhaps, in a MORE sinister twist of fate, Asiduus told him exactly what was going to happen beforehand, and our wonderful cynic left the building so that the IWU (as well as the pesky BWEG) to be eradicated, as their purpose was now obsolete, (seeing that if he knew Claude was going to die at the point of victory, then he could claim the Vallarie Administration for his own). And ultimately power seems to come before political ideals when it comes to Vamana. That way it is a completely bittersweet ending.--Cal XDMy Talk 03:35, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
That sounds like an even better idea. Although perhaps Vamana is overseeing the termination of the RWA personally and doesn't wish to go down until they are all dead.
While I'm not saying this alliance can't be formed, remember the RWA killed Nao's parents, and tried to assassinate him and Damien on a plane. So, he might be a little discouraged to join up with them. Ave Dominus Nox! (talk) 12:30, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
But remember, the situation is utterly desperate. Alliances like that are formed out of pure necessity, that sort of thing is why realpolitik is considered a legitimate school of thought. --Lither My talk My wiki 12:37, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
I see your point, and while something is necessary, that doesn't mean you have to like it. Which is what I can do for Nao. He agrees, but isn't to happy about it. Ave Dominus Nox! (talk) 13:02, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
Right, I have made some pretty drastic changes that not everyone will like (I am slightly against on a personal level as it kills off two of my favourite characters, but I need to suck it up for the sake of better quality plotlines). These have mainly been done to avoid the severe cliches the plot otherwise had. Keeping Mark alive subverts the "black guy dies first" cliche and the "mentor figure dies" cliche. Having Oni remain committed to his cause also helps add to the darker tone of this series, which is then complimented nicely by having his own father kill him (very Greek Tragedy and demonstrates that Mark is capable of more than he lets on) while avoiding the "he was good all along really" point. Also, I like the idea of Mark coming back right at the end of the series, having missed all of the action, more badass than before. Killing off Alison adds to the darker tone and provides a foil for the already traitorous Laurence (who kills himself over the guilt). And Li-Pau should probably die as well, despite him being a likeable character in my book, as the focus should remain on Jacinta and Eric. Cal XDMy Talk 07:34, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
Mmmm, can't Nao just be missing? Presumed dead? Ave Dominus Nox! (talk) 00:34, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
Personally, he might end up in a similar state to how 'Flash' is in during the events of the ending - still alive, but having to be 'dead' in order to stop some people (EG Scall, who may still pose a possible threat to the duo) from going after them. He might even allow him to see those files he tried to look up on Daymon, but the security stopped him from doing so at the time. As for Daymon, if he is still alive at the time - although that means avoiding the Shadow until she is incapacitated - it could be implied that he might had a hand in the final death before the epilogue... Possibly with a, 'What? It was either him, or us. And I am not one to let his work go to waste...' - referring to both Damien and 'Flash' as the 'he' which he mentions about. But that's just my thoughts on the matter. ah2190 (talk) 16:19, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

So what's going through your mind right now?
Getting done with promotions, getting my leg okay, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (HSKD)...!
What about HSKD?
With every film, there's talk about pressure and expectations. So if I don't perform or do a performance-oriented film, it's not going to add. And what's not going to add is only going to subtract from my career.
What do you think people expect from you?
Something that will surprise! I don't believe I'm going to surprise anyone with this one. Honestly, I don't know when I'm going to do a film like Highway again. HSKD is an entertaining film. But it's not as high on emotion like 2 States or Highway. I did HSKD because it's different. It's a light, fun film which has a real take on a filmi love story. But because I've done two heavyweight films, which have given me an image, my fear is that people will say, 'Oh now she is not capable of doing more'. Like my father (Mahesh Bhatt) told me, they're waiting to pull you down. But I hope to surprise with each film.
What are your expectations from this film?
If Varun (Dhawan) and my chemistry works then the film will work. It's not a path-breaking concept. What is new is that we're saying it's not new. The characters behave normally. It's not like they're staring at each other and fall in love. We don't even know when that emotion comes in. It's treated like a home video. That's what I like about it. But there's pressure to excel. Yes I'm nervous.
How will being nervous help?
For 2 States, I was nervous because the book is so well-known. I didn't want people to say we didn't do justice. I didn't want people to say that she has played a typical Tamilian. I was so happy when people told me you didn't play it to the gallery, you looked like a Tamilian. I'm nervous because HSKD is an entertainer and entertainers need to make money. That's my worry. I haven't done an 'entertainment' film. Varun just did Main Tera Hero. He's really done well.
2 States is an 'entertainment' film too.
Ya, but it's also high on emotion. It did well so I've nothing to complain. Anyway, with every film there's pressure. God forbid, if HSKD doesn't do well, I'll have to perform well in my next.
The stakes are getting higher with every film.
Yeah. I'm in an insecure position, right now. The scary part is that the more you get the more you want and you feel less satisfied with each success. If HSKD does well, I'd want my next film to do even better. I'm never going to be happy and that's a scary feeling. When I reach this position, I'll want to reach that position. It never ends.But when it all ends, you'll be even more depressed. I'm in a confused head space. I've had three releases back to back. I feel people are getting sick of me; I'm getting sick of myself. When I go for interviews, for promotions, I feel people are like, 'Hi Alia! We just met you'. Also, sometimes when you become successful, you become sure of yourself. And the moment you start feeling sure, the downslide begins. So I don't want to feel sure. Even someone like a Deepika Padukone, she is the box office queen right now. Everything is going fine with her but if she starts working in that sure way, that body language won't reflect on screen. She feels she needs to work harder, that's why she's doing so well.
You think you'll be able to cope with a flop?
Once it happens, I guess I'll be fine. I don't want it to happen though. But just thinking about it makes me fearful. You don't want to let your fans down. Like when I read people's tweets, it makes me happy. But what if I let them down?
Besides the downsides, what's the upside of being an actress?
There's a huge up side. I never expected to be an actor so soon. It feels strange. It's still hitting me slowly that I'm giving an interview, it's going to be read and it's going to be on the cover of Filmfare. Everything has happened too fast. Also I don't remember the time before I was an actor. I don't remember the time when I was in school. I don't remember how I used to be as a person in my head. It seems a different lifetime. If I ask that Alia to look at me now, she'll be happy. Of course, I'm being recognised more. When we travelled by Mumbai metro the other day, people knew me, I didn't expect that. When kids look up to me I like it. That's the upside and the best part of my job. Another upside is that I'm getting some interesting films to do. That's pumping my adrenaline.
Is this a nice time to be Alia Bhatt?
It would be a nice time to be me any time. I'm doing okay internally. I recently read that people believe I'm self-obsessed. I don't think I'm self-obsessed. And being self- obsessed isn't a bad thing. I don't believe I'm the centre of the universe. But I'm my best friend. That's good, right? As a child I always felt special. I'd always be pulled to the front of the line to do stuff and the class would follow. I'd win every race. The one time I didn't win a race, I cried my heart out. When you see people like Beyonce, Barack Obama, Narendra Modi, Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan, you know they're special. I feel like that too. So how's that a bad thing? Anyone who says I'm a modest person is bullshitting. Recently, I watched Revolutionary Road where Kate Winslet says we were supposed to be something special, what are we doing? That's her angst. I hope I don't end up like that.
How would you define yourself?
I'm struggling to define myself. I don't know who I am. But recently I got to know that not many people know who they are. Even my friends are confused about me. I ask them how I used to be at school, they believe I've changed a bit. I've become quieter. Even when I'm sitting by myself or sitting with my friends I feel I'm not there. I take a flight. But I don't know where those flights are going. Then I come back and ask what were you talking about? I've become a bit of a 'zoner'. I don't take myself too seriously. But I've been taking myself seriously since the past one month. Because I've been feeling insecure.
Does the industry do that to you?
I'd like to believe that it doesn't. I am told it does. You start feeling insecure, you become lonely. In fact, I was having this conversation with someone at Karan's (Johar) party. We were discussing how being an actor is the loneliest profession. I was like is it? Because I'm feeling a little bit like that. Is that normal? Or are people hyping it − you're an actor you come late, you make people wait, you do this, that. That's the prototype but actually not everybody is like that. I believe the prototype was that if you're an actor then you should feel lonely. I'm beginning to feel it. The strange part is you spend time with people you love, believing it will make a difference but it doesn't.
Do you feel people don't understand you?
Yeah! Though the few people I speak to, do understand me. Also I'm a secretive person; I keep a lot to myself. I feel if I try to explain they won't understand, so why explain? That makes me even lonelier. I'm not going through a depressed phase. I'm happy. But I also find this constant need to be happy depressing. You can't be normal - you have to be either happy or sad. I wish to feel blah… I want to just sleep through the day. Why not?
Do you think all that you're going through is helping you become a better actress?
I'll tell you a secret. I was the happiest shooting for Highway. I have a problem - I start believing in my characters. That happened with Highway, and a little with
2 States and a little less with HSKD. I love my character from Highway because she's free, she's happy even though she's been abused in the past. So when I was there I felt fulfilled. There was a time when I told Imtiaz I don't want to go back I want to stay here. Even when I was promoting Highway, I was emotional. I didn't like giving interviews. When people asked me questions, I was like why should I tell you? Will you understand what I went through? I used to get depressed and sit with a long face and Imtiaz would be like it's not her day. I was my happiest during Highway. So being alone makes you explore more when you're playing a character. You believe in that world more-.
How seriously do you take your profession?
Very seriously. I genuinely want to be known as a good actor. But I also want all the love. Because sometimes good actors don't get all the love they deserve. I feel sad when superb actors don't get their due. I'm talking about love from the people.
You want to be known as a star or an actor?
Both. Actor first. Right now, I'm in the phase where people go to see a film in which I've acted. I'm incidental. I want to reach that point where people go to see a film because of me. The fan base should be so strong that they go to see the film regardless. Also it should be like Alia is in this film, so the film should be good. Not because it looks like a good film and also Alia is in it. That stage will come after doing good work consistently. I have got too many aspirations, too many dreams. I need to pull back a bit. I am too hungry; it scares me because I want to do everything. Sometimes I look at myself from someone else's perspective, like when I am giving an interview. I wonder why this girl is talking so much; she has not done anything with her life. Then I tell myself keep going. That's why I feel insecure. 'You just have to stay focused,' Lolo (Karisma Kapoor) told me this. I don't get distracted. Binging is my only distraction.
Do you miss a normal 21-year-old's life?
I want to know what a normal 21-year-old's life is. A normal 21-year-old will probably want to do something that I'm doing. Where you feel you're doing something with your life. Of course, I have fun. When I have time off, I go out with my friends. Mumbai is
not a place where you get bothered. Yes, people do look at you but after a point you get used to it.
Do you ever feel like a fish in the bowl then?
I feel like a monkey in a zoo because people just stare at you. Yesterday, I went out for dinner and I turned around and there were five people looking at me. And when you look at them, they turn away. And it seems like you were looking at them. And sometimes they think you're deaf. They think you can't hear when they point out to others and say 'Alia'. It's sweet but harmless. When people stop looking at me, it'll bother me. Now it's all good.
You're okay with your life being under the scanner?
I'm okay. Which is why I choose to hold on to certain details about myself. I can talk about it; I'm not embarrassed about it.
I just feel why everything should be in front everybody. That's why I tell you don't ask me relationship questions. Because I'm going to lie.
How can any interview be complete without a relationship question?
I'm single. And that's the truth. If I weren't an actor, I'd tell everyone I'm seeing this person. Who would care? No one would write about it. The reason I don't talk about my relationship is if I was dating someone who I'm much in love with and if I were to break up with him and it got printed, I'd die. I'm sensitive. I'll not be able to take it. Also I'm not going to take speculation about my life. I'm not going to tell you how many times I went to the bathroom or what I did there.
A relationship is that personal.
How do you react to speculation?
As long as it's not coming from my mouth I'm fine. I did get irritated with the questions that were asked during the press conference. Someone asked whether Siddharth Shukla was playing the real life Arjun (Kapoor) in Varun's and my love story in HSKD. I didn't like that because Varun and Arjun are both close to me. Because of some strange story put out there, it's becoming a stupid situation. That was the first time I was bothered with speculation.
So is it Varun or Arjun?
I don't choose. Some days back I was linked with an Ambani. Aaksah? The guy in the alleged Maserati accident. I haven't met him. I don't know how these speculations come about. I don't like choosing, it becomes a big mess. Anyway why would you put two friends against each other? We work together, why should I compare them? I can compare both as actors not as friends.
Do you miss being in a relationship?
Right now, no. I'm annoyed with the word love. There's a reason why I'm annoyed. I'm happy being far from love.
Have you had your heart broken?
I've been heartbroken recently. That's why I'm talking about this insecure and depressed phase and about being lonely. But I can't say who did it and why.
How do you deal with heartbreak?
There's no way to deal with it. You just have to face it. I'm still dealing with it. It will heal with time. But distracting yourself with work is not the right thing to do. Then you're training your brain to behave in a certain way. You have to face things.
By concentrating on your professional life now, don't you think you will miss out…
No. If it has to happen it will happen. I'm a big love bug. The fairytale love will happen when it has to happen. But I'm at a point when I don't want things to run me down. There's so much going on, so much money riding on you, people are looking at you, you've to be strong. You have to have strength and going through a difficult relationship is not a good feeling. Also, I'm not one of those people who are like no love, only profession. I'll know when it happens and is worth it. Right now, I know it's not.
You said Parineeti Chopra is your competition.
Both Parineeti and Shraddha (Kapoor). Because we started at the same time and all of us are doing good films.
Are you competitive?
Yeah I am. I wouldn't want to bring anyone down but I'm aware of what's happening around me. That keeps you on your toes. You're not in some la la land where you think you're the only one who is loved. Only your films are doing well. At the same time, when you're competing you can lose focus. So I'm focussed on what I'm doing but I'm also aware of what's happening around me. Like I'm aware of Kiara Advani (Fugly) and Kriti Sanon (Heropanti). Both have received a good response for their films. But I'm not like run, hit them. I know Kiara so I wanted her to do well.
You recently said you weren't close to your dad. How come?
Yeah, I am not close. I've become closer to him. But I can't talk to him about my personal stuff, I feel awkward about that. But I've become much closer to him now than when I was younger. He was also busy, what would we even talk about? Also I was in my own world doing my own things, not interested in talking to anyone. In the morning, I had a long conversation with him on what I should do, how I should speak and how I should be. He's always giving advice. How can he stop that? When it's necessary I take it. And when not, I hear him, say okay Papa. I hear from one ear and take it out from the other. But he makes sense 80 per cent of the time. He is a good person to have around when you want an insight into yourself.
And are you close to your mother (Soni Razdan)?
No. My sister (Shaheen Bhatt) may be. But I like figuring things out on my own here (Points to the head). People may give me advice but I never take it, I always do what I feel like doing. Sometimes a good advice makes me change my mind. But I listen to my heart.
One meme about yourself you found interesting.
There have been many funny ones. The one where dad asks me whether I want to go for a movie. I reply there are no movies showing. He asks why. Because there's Holiday in the theatre I retort. I thought that was funny.

|Hello Sprynters
The 519 is a Toronto-based community agency which exists to support the evolving needs of the LGBTQ community. Awareness and education programs are part of its mandate. The 519 has just released a new resource: Creating Authentic Spaces – A Gender Identity and Gender Expression Toolkit to Support Implementation of Institutional Social Change.
This is an excellent resource to use in training or orientation sessions for all staff (program, management, customer service, maintenance, etc.) and volunteers to inform them of your agency / department's inclusive approach for all citizens. Such education is particularly important for those working or interacting with youth, as self-identity is particularly important during the adolescent years.
This easy-to-read/understand document includes information on understanding gender identity, how to create welcoming environments, scorecards on operational areas such as risk management, and job aid tools such as washroom and change room signage, gender specific/neutral pronouns, and being a supportive peer or co-worker.
You can find this resource here.
Mood Walks for Youth in Transition
Hello Sprynters:
Deadline November 30, 2015
Mood Walks is a province-wide initiative that promotes physical activity in nature, or "green exercise," as a way to improve both physical and mental health. Led by the Canadian Mental Health Association, Ontario, in partnership with Hike Ontario and Conservation Ontario, Mood Walks provides training and support for community mental health agencies, social service organizations and other community partners to launch educational hiking programs, connect with local resources, find volunteers, and explore nearby trails and green spaces. Mood Walks is supported by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport.
The next phase of our project, Mood Walks for Youth in Transition, will build capacity to support youth who are at risk of, or experiencing, mental health issues. Young people often become less physically active as they enter their teen years. This life stage is also typically a period of many "transitions" — from teenager to young adult, from high school to post-secondary, from living at home to living away. All of these changes tend to be accompanied by greater levels of stress, higher prevalence of substance use, as well as the emergence of mental health issues. Hiking combines physical activity with exposure to the natural environment — two elements that have proven benefits in promoting mental wellness and recovery from mental illness.
Interested in hosting a Mood Walks group, or partnering with a Mood Walks group in your community? The Call for Expressions of Interest to participate in Mood Walks for Youth in Transition has been posted on the Mood Walks website:
The submission deadline is 4:00 p.m. on Monday, November 30, 2015.
Questions? Contact the Mood Walks Project Manager at email@example.com.
|Hello Sprynters:
The Search Institute has published a very easy to read list of ways in which mentors can build great relationships with the youth with whom they work.
Check them out at 10 Ideas.
|Hello Sprynters:
While this is an Ontario-based project, input is appreciated from across the country….
Parks and Recreation Ontario is seeking your input on a survey about Youth Advisory Councils. The survey deadline is Friday, March 4 and respondents will receive an electronic copy of the resulting toolkit.
In January 2016, Parks and Recreation Ontario, on behalf of Play Works, was awarded a 3-year Ontario Trillium Foundation project to support youth engagement initiatives in small and rural communities, with the intent of helping youth take on leadership roles in their communities.
One of the primary goals of the project is to support the development of 15 new Youth Advisory Councils across Ontario over the next three years. It has been identified that communities with a formal Youth Advisory Council or Committee are more likely to have a commitment to play, as well as having youth who feel connected and valued in their communities.
In the first year of the project, we will be developing a Youth Advisory Council Toolkit. This resource is being written to provide essential tools, tips and resources for both new and existing councils.
To assist us in this endeavor, we are asking you to take part in a short survey which will provide us with valuable information on the current status of Youth Advisory Councils as well as the what information should be included in the Toolkit for both new and existing Youth Advisory Councils. This survey is ntended for both communities with or without a Youth Advisory Council.
To complete the survey, follow this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CBNJVYM. For communities with a Youth Advisory Council, please allow approximately 15 minutes to complete the survey. For those without a Youth Advisory Council, the survey will take less than five minutes to complete.
Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey. The deadline for response is Friday, March 4. Respondents will receive an electronic copy of the toolkit. Delivery is expected in the fall of 2016.

Evaluating Youth Programs YouthREX
Hello Sprynters:
YouthREX invites you to join a no-cost three-part webinar series on different elements of its approach to evaluation.
Says YouthREX:
Our mission is to make research evidence and evaluation practices accessible and relevant to Ontario's grassroots youth sector through knowledge mobilization, capacity building and evaluation leadership. Central to our approach is a nuanced understanding of 'evidence' that acknowledges the politics of evaluation and the need for evaluation processes and methods that reflect grassroots youth sector realities.
In this new webinar series, you will have a chance to engage in conversations with YouthREX's academic directors, staff and key stakeholders on our Evaluation Framework, Customized Evaluation Supports (CES), and newly launched evaluation toolkit. They have all have been developed to support youth programs in Ontario to understand their impact.

Social and Emotional Learning
Hello Sprynters:
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which individuals acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
CASEL, in the USA (see descriptor below), is undertaking research on how SEL can help students be more successful at school. The SEL theory and approaches can be easily translated to after school, formal sports/recreation and/or drop in programs for youth.
Here is some general information on SEL.
And, here are some frequently asked questions about SEL.
Of particular interest are the five Social and Emotional Learning Core Competencies, and the outcomes for youth when programs are developed and which integrate activities and approaches that support the Core Competencies.
About CASEL
Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) is the nation's leading organization advancing the development of academic, social and emotional competence for all students. Our mission is to help make evidence-based social and emotional learning (SEL) an integral part of education from preschool through high school. Through research, practice and policy, CASEL collaborates to ensure all students become knowledgeable, responsible, caring and contributing members of society.
The following scribed video presentation looks at working with 12-14 year olds, considered the transition years. It discusses how staff and volunteers can support the successful transition from childhood to youth and also introduces the "Stepping Stones" developmental stages tool, created by the Ontario government.
This video was made possible through a bilateral grant from the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport.

What Kids/Youth Need to Succeed
Many of you may be the one person helping yo make a difference in a young person's life. Maybe you know of others who would like to do the same but who don't know where to start.
Here is a short article about the importance of the 'one adult'. There are some tips on how to be that caring person and some concrete strategies to consider.
While focused on children, the strategies are transferable to working with youth. While the article is written by a faith-based group, the five strategies are from the Search Institute and are not faith-based.

Girls Are Unstoppable
The company that produces Always feminine hygiene products has created a series of videos which challenge the stereotype that females act or move 'like a girl'.
These videos are great jumping off points for discussion with female/male and/or co-ed groups of youth. They are wonderful tools to help bring to light the myths around the competencies of young women and the opportunities and challenges they may face depending on how others view them.
Here is one video which shows how girls and young women can feel limited about their abilities based on what they have been told they can or cannot do.
It's definitely worth a 2-minute watch and you can find it here.
The Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services is investing $55M in an enhanced Youth Action Plan.

10 Ways To Meaningfully Engage Youth
10 Ways to Meaningfully Engage Underrepresented Youth
Thursday, May 28th, 10:00am-11:30am
featuring Amy Hosotsuji, Grassroots Youth Collaborative and
Rebecca Houwer, YouthREX with Duane Hall, Spoke N' Heard
Do you want to foster youth leadership development? Does your organization support youth intitiatives such as internships, youth councils or youth-led/directed programming? Are there some youth you wish you could reach and/or connect with better?
When engaging youth, we often focus on how we can support youth to be prepared and ready to work in organizational settings and/or with adults. But what about adult and organizational preparedness to work with youth?
This webinar will provide valuable insight on how to authentically work with underrepresented, marginalized youth so that you/your organization can effectively develop, inspire and nurture youth leadership and engagement. Based on her extensive experience working with youth from diverse communities, Amy Hosotsuji, Coordinator of the Grassroots Youth Collaborative, will share her top 10 strategies and key observations on this topic, including reflections and case study examples from individual, organizational, community and systemic contexts.
Amy will also be joined by Rebecca Houwer,YouthREX Central ON Region Hub Manager and PhD Candidate, Faculty of Education at York University for a Q&A session. Rebecca will contextualize their discussion using research she conducted on youth leadership and engagement for a Mitacs-Accelerate Graduate Research Program, with the support of community partner, For Youth Initiative.
Duane Hall, Events Curator and founding member of Toronto-based grassroots youth organization Spoke N' Heard will also join Amy and Rebecca, providing a frontline youth worker perspective on the topic at hand.

Municipal Youth Engagement Handbook
Here is a tool created by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities as a means to help engage youth in the local issues.
While it could be considered political in nature, as it concentrates on civic engagement in local government and issues, the theories of youth engagement are transferable to other settings.
In this resource you will find a lot of good and relevant information about Youth Advisory Councils and Mayor's Youth Advisory Councils, as well as some links to some useful resources (found at the end of the document).
You can find the Municipal Youth Engagement Handbook here.
What to look for in LGBT Allies
In the It Gets Better Project, Allies for LGBT youth are seen as essential pillars of support, encouragement, and hope when young people need them most. For many LGBT youth, it can be hard to identify people around them who can help. For those who want to be allies, it's often hard to find the right way to be supportive.
Click here to find 5 illustrated ways in which LGBT Allies support youth.
Youth do have a voice
Every now and then you come across some words of wisdom from someone who 'gets' working with youth. It's our pleasure to share a selection of such, which was included in the Sooke News Mirror (Sooke BC) editorial section.
This is one to post in your department, agency, or office to act both as a reminder of what youth work is and which can be used as an education piece for those who may not know.
Check out this editorial.

It has great general information, helpful hints for youth workers and parents, and access to community-based training opportunities. Here is the information they sent. Any questions, please direct them to the contact at the bottom of this email.
Youth suicide is an issue that affects the whole community – and shared problems require shared solutions. It's as simple as that.
The Centre, together with a wide-range of stakeholders from across the province, are pleased to announce the launch of the new Together to Live toolkit.
Among the many valuable resources, you'll find information on prevention, risk-management and postvention, tools to kickstart and sustain your community mobilization efforts, and an interactive map on initiatives taking place across the province.

Great Videos on Asset Development
Here are two great videos, each less than 3 minutes long, which talk about techniques to support asset development in young people.
The first one found here includes simple ways adults can build relationships with youth. It is a good video to show those who work with youth, who want to build relationships with youth, or who are having challenges connecting with youth in their community.
The next video, speaks to a young person's experience of learning about herself and how she addressed potential risk situations. This is a great video to start a discussion with a youth group around issue identification, problem solving, forward planning, and the importance of being a mentor for younger children.
Then, we have a final video which shows how assets can really empower young people. Granted, this young person is really young, but she sets the stage from which all of us can learn. Check her out here and, at the end of this video, click on the 'watch the deleted scene' which really shows personal affirmation around assets!
These videos then move into a TV interview show which speaks to the 40 Developmental Assets. Again, a great resource to share to give context what positive youth development work is embedded in.This is a much longer video, which is really informative, and which you could pull some information if you wanted to include it in a longer training program.
Cookbooks for Youth
Free cookbooks for young people!
Two cookbooks have been released focusing on the health needs of young people as part of a project called Yhunger.
The Yhunger program, funded and supported by New South Wales Health (Australia), aims to improve food access and physical activity options for young people, 12–24 years of age. While these resources are aimed at those who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness, the language, the information about cooking, and the recipes are great for any youth. Youth could actually take these books and develop their own cooking or dinner program, during which they learn a bit about buying food, about food preparation, about nutrition, and about how to actually cook!
The simple and fast recipes, with step-by-step instructions, cost less than $4 per serving. And, each recipe aims to increase the intake of fruit and vegetables and uses common ingredients and basic kitchen equipment.
Click on the name for the cookbook of your choice.(they are a bit large so take a moment to download)
FYI Reheat is the first of the two book series
New Resources
The Ministry of Children and Family Development in British Columbia has recently released a new Youth Engagement Toolkit.
The Toolkit, presented in an easy-to-understand and use format, is made up of the:
Champion Guide
Resource Guide
Evaluation Tool
A nice video has youth speaking to the rationale for youth engagement, and staff commenting on how to embed youth engagement in one's work. This resource is transferable to a variety of different settings, not just applicable to youth services offered by the government.

Ontario releasing a strategic framework to help Ontario's youth succeed
I am very pleased to announce that the Government of Ontario has released Stepping Up – A Strategic Framework to Help Ontario's Youth Succeed . It is a first-of-its kind roadmap for Ontario that will help our government and partners step up to do more to help young people. After all, we all share the same goal – for our youth to be safe, healthy and happy; to succeed in school and to have the opportunities they need to grow into responsible, contributing adults.
Stepping Up strengthens our government's commitment to young people, identifies our priorities and will guide our decision-making. The development of Stepping Up is an excellent example of the benefits of collaboration. It builds on past consultations with youth and partners through the Review of the Roots of Youth Violence, Stepping Stones: A Resource on Youth Development, and Ontario's Youth Action Plan. It also reflects input from 18 provincial ministries, the Premier's Council on Youth Opportunities, Dr. Alvin Curling, my Strategic Advisor on Youth Opportunities and co-author of the Review of the Roots of Youth Violence report, and partners in the youth-serving sector, including young people themselves.
Stepping Up is also a call for co-operation and action in all our communities. It is a call for all of us to come together and work towards the success of our young people, who are at the centre of this framework. Stepping Up identifies 20 evidence-based outcomes and related indicators across seven themes that are important to Ontario's youth. To keep our focus on enhancing the well-being of our young people, we will track these outcomes and indicators every year and we will report annually on our collective progress.
Together, we can ensure young people in our province get the support and opportunities they need to reach their full potential. The future of our province depends on it.
You can read the framework at Ontario.ca/steppingup.Any questions about Stepping Up can be directed to email@example.com

Minister of Children and Youth Services
There are some interesting resources from the USA regarding youth from families who are deployed in the Forces.
The following excerpt provides a list of exercises to initiate conversations about how young people feel and how they can and do relate to others. They are great tools which can be used with any group of youth to help youth better understand themselves and for youth workers to better understand those with whom they work.
You can find this resource here.
Adolescent Growth and Development
Here is a quick summary from Virginia State University about adolescent growth and development. It covers topics such as:
- what are physical, cognitive and psychosocial developments?
- how do they affect teens?
- what can you do to help 'normalize' these changes for teens?
This is a great tool to use when training new staff to work with youth or to help sensitize staff, who don't directly work with youth, to better understand how to best meet their needs.
In a 1/2 an hour, you could present info on one of the three areas, invite discussion on what you could do, then reflect on the suggestions that are presented in the handout. It's a quick and easy way to build youth-sensitivity training into your workplace.
Surviving the Teenage Brain
CBC TV has just re-run its Nature of Things show with David Suzuki on Surviving the Teenage Brain. It is a great show which helps explain some of why young people do, act, and say things the way they do and how it all has to do with normal brain development.
That is not to excuse certain behaviours. Rather, for youth development workers, it can help us focus our work on how to help youth better understand how they are developing and for us to provide programs and services that can help them explore their new world in a safe and positive way.
You can view the entire 42 minute show at http://www.cbc.ca/
Teen Dating Violence Awareness
Here is an interesting newsletter article from Health Sciences North about Teen Dating Violence Awareness.
It speaks to different types of dating violence that teens experience, how to introduce the opportunity to talk about this issue, and what warning signs might go along with dating violence. There are also a number of websites that are referenced for further information.
This quick and easy 2-page read can be found at Teen Dating Violence Awareness.
Surrey Child and Youth Friendly Strategy
The City of Surrey, BC, has created a comprehensive Child and Youth Friendly Strategy.
For townships, towns, cities, municipalities, corporations, counties or individual agencies that have not yet formulated a child/youth strategy, this document might provide some great insight and ideas for consideration.
Download this child/strategy document on the Leisure Information Network (LIN).

Stepping Stones: A Resource on Youth Development
Dear Partner:
I am pleased to share with you Stepping Stones: A Resource on Youth Development which combines the most recent research on youth development with the voices of Ontario's youth.
Stepping Stones is the result of an incredible amount of thoughtful and collaborative work by researchers, community organizations and most importantly, young people. It emerged from a recommendation in the report on the Review of the Roots of Youth Violence, authored by Roy McMurtry and Alvin Curling, to develop an evidence-based policy resource that we can all use to improve the services we provide for youth. Its development has been guided and shaped by voices of youth across the province and partners across the youth-serving sector. I want to thank everyone who contributed to this resource for their time and hard work.
Our government believes that the success and resilience of our youth is vital to building a strong and prosperous province. Stepping Stones is another step towards achieving that goal.
Stepping Stones will help those who support youth – governments, families, teachers and youth-serving organizations – better understand how young people develop. It will help inform the work we do finding new and innovative ways of supporting youth.
I sincerely appreciate the efforts of those who contributed to this project and commend the tireless contributions of the many individuals and organizations who work every day to provide Ontario's young people with opportunities to grow and develop.
As you begin to incorporate Stepping Stones in your own work, I encourage you to share it with anyone who supports youth and adapt the information the resource contains to suit local needs and purposes.
I also encourage you to share any comments and thoughts you may have about the resource at email@example.com. Your insights will assist us in our ongoing efforts to help youth realize their maximum potential.
Yours truly,
[Original signed by]
Dr. Eric Hoskins
Teen Mental Health and Brain Injury
The Canadian-based Teen Health Org website has some great resources about adolescent brain development, teens and mental health issues, brain injury prevention and more. Short videos, as well as various printed resources, are online to help inform both service providers and youth themselves. You can access this website at teenmentalhealth.org
Here are two additional links – one for teens and one for parents and service providers – on understanding the effects of brain injury on adolescents and how to prevent it.

Here is a neat and short list of activities you can do to help youth and staff groups learn to better understand and appreciate the subtleties of diversity.
Each activity is described in terms of the what is needed to do it, how long it takes and the process to do it.
There are then a series of debriefing questions which the facilitator uses to help the participants better understand how impressions and perceptions can shape how we respond to interactions with others.
Developed by Penn State, this is a nice resource for any youth or adult group.
You can find it here
The David P. Weikart Center for Youth Program Quality has a newsletter and this one, about engaging youth in after school programs, is very informative.
Of interest is the relation between Maslow's hierarchy of needs relative to the developmental needs of youth and how staff can intentionally incorporate program components to meet these needs.
There also is some good information on staff expertise and training, as well as an easy-to-understand graphic which speaks to the differences between after school programming for youth as compared to children.
Whether you offer an after school or an out of school time program for youth, the information is transferrable to all settings.
Check out the newsletter at this link.
How to Hold a Youth Summit
Here is a resource on How to Hold a Youth Summit. It uses an asset-based approach to engage youth in the process of gathering information about issues that affect youth.
It uses an easy-to-understand Logic Model approach and has lots of check lists to lead you or a group of youth (or even some adults who plan similar adult-based focus groups) through the planning process. There are great handouts too. All in all a very solid resource created by The Search Institute.

Here is a nice free online training about Positive Youth Development.
It is in two modules (45 and 60 minutes respectively). A certificate is available upon completion.
It is straight-forward in content and is a great primer for those new to the field, those who want more info to be able to share with others about what is meant by PYD, and/or to educate and/or advocate for the inclusion of a PYD approach in your youth programs.
You have to register for the course before you can access it but it is a very simple process and takes no time at all.
Early next year UNESCO, in association with the International Association of Sports Newspapers (IASN), will launch a quarterly e-bulletin which aims to 'raise awareness of sport's power and potential in development and peace initiatives, and to encourage young people to become leaders of positive change in their communities'.
The four main topics of the bulletins will be: sport as a development tool; youth empowerment and sport; sport and the fight against racism; and sport and violence prevention. Each issue will contain, among other things, an article written by a young person covering the main topic for that particular issue. To find out more, go to the UNESCO web page.
Youth Friendly Staff
We are often asked if there is a course for training staff to be more youth friendly.
The Search Institute has some 'easy to share' Asset-Building Ideas for Youth Workers. The good thing is that these are transferrable to any staff who come into contact with youth – not just those who work with them.
Youth Friendly Meetings
Youth and Stress
Here is a really neat and short video trailer created by the School Team of the Sudbury & District Health Unit in collaboration with area youth. This video on teen/youth resiliency was officially launched at the 10th Annual Healthy Schools Coalition Forum.
The Sudbury & District Health Unit School Health Promotion Team has embarked on a creative adventure with our community partners by developing the Can You feel It?: A School Community Resiliency Program. The goal of this program is to empower students and school communities to adapt to or bounce back from changes and challenges they face. The four key messages of the CYFI program are: change is constant, recognize stress in your life, you control your reaction, empower yourself – you can do it!
This video trailer is great to use as a sensitizer for any group/individual that might not be familiar with the stresses that youth face.
Any questions on this resource should be directed to the Sudbury and District Health Unit at Tel: (705) 522-9200 or at its website at www.sdhu.com.
While this information is not just related to youth, the new Benefits of Recreation databank has great information to help you when writing proposals, reports or preparing community presentations to support youth programming and lifelong learning. It helps embed the 'soft service of recreation' into 'hard research.'
The Alberta Recreation and Parks Association (ARPA) in partnership with the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association is pleased to announce that the new Benefits DataBank (formerly the Benefits Catalogue) is now available online.
This resource, which will constantly be updated, summarizes more than 700 pieces of evidence that recreation and parks services really do make a difference. Validation is provided for 49 benefits or outcome statements organized around the eight marketing messages listed below. Recreation, parks, sport, arts, culture, and heritage:
- are essential to personal health and well-being
- provide the key to balanced human development
- provide a foundation for quality of life
- reduce self-destructive and anti-social behaviour
- build strong families and healthy communities
- reduce health care, social service and police/justice costs
- are a significant economic generator
- and green spaces are essential to environmental and ecological well-being, even survival
The intent is to provide you with an invaluable resource for policy development, planning, marketing, program/service development and/or evaluation. The Databank is updated on a regular basis and Facts, Trends and Promising Practices are being added for each benefit statement, to help you make a case for expanding related programs and/or services. On the site you will also find information on how to use the Databank, blogs and much more. When using the DataBank, please keep in mind that you can contribute by alerting us to new research and promising practices that should be added.

Check out the following links for more and more!!
Check out this blog:
Welcome to the Beginning of your journey to freedom -- Renewing Your Mind! You know that if you want to get somewhere you have to get a map and check out the ways to get there. Well renewing your mind is how you 'get the map' and check out the ways suited for you to get to freedom, true and real freedom! Spiritual Liberty begins here!!
Recognize that you are choosing to take this first step. I suggest you commit to a time frame (notice I did not say limit). A time frame that you can stay with, no matter what. Put down a time to start and how much time you may begin with -- this might change over time.
Ready? Let's begin.
Insight from God comes in all ways and at all times. You recognize it as an insight from God as you grow in 'knowing' Him through knowing His Living Word (Jesus).
In the beginning the first steps are:
All of these are 'part' of renewing your mind. This is the beginning, and this continues on and on as you grow more and more mature in God, in His Love, in His Will for your life, in His joy unspeakable and full of glory, in His peace that passes, always, and in all ways, all of our understanding; peace that guards our hearts and keeps our minds protected.
Yes, this is the beginning. It's like programming a computer -- it must be done in code, and the system follows the code. Well you are in the process of renewing your mind -- from all the junk you have picked up over the years, and believe me you wouldn't know half the junk if you saw it. But it's there.
By reading and listening to the Word, you are actually locating all those virus' you have in your mind/brain, and transforming them into the real deal of truth! No more breaking down, or going off, or going after this or that.
Before you begin you do need to get into the place where renewing your mind is the only focus. At first I would speak outloud the following:
"Abba, Daddy, God, I come to you and ask you to please help me to renew my mind. I ask that you lead and guide me as I read and listen to your word, and that you help me as I learn and grow into who I am, and whose I am. You know me, and you know what I need and how I need. Please pour out your love, your peace, and all you have for me. Let's begin. Amen"
You will learn to apply whatever scriptures you need for your life and for others.
You will learn and grow in prayer - communing with God, from:
I am sure one of the key scriptures for spiritual growth, for maturing in Christ is:
2 Cor. 10:5b -"bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."
Yes the battle we fight the most is within our own souls/minds, and it is the subtlest of battles, one we don't easily recognize. So this is the first scripture I want you to memorize.
As you begin, you may find some resistance in your mind -like questions and negative thoughts andfeelings, and memories popping up -- well these are the 'thoughts' that need to be brought into captivity to the obedience of Christ -- As is bringing them into and through the living water anointing - Christ means anointed one, and it is as you obey and bring every thought captive - this breaks every and all yokes to darkness and any junk from the enemy of our soul.
