Introduction From the many reported and even more unreported events, school violence is seen as a subset of youth violence and a broader health problem. Factors that contribute to school violence are socioeconomic status, family, peers, and mental health. The best way to deal with school violence is to establish physical and social environments that prevent violence and promote safety within schools (Brener 81). There are many different forms of school violence. School violence could be seen as bullying, fighting, weapon use, shootings, stabbings, gang violence, and now growing cyber-bullying.
Bullying tends to be the leading cause for school violence. Middle schools have the highest rate of bullying at 43 percent, and 22 percent of high schools have reported ongoing bullying problems in 2005-2006 (Statistics 2). Bullying not only has psychological effects on the victims, but it can affect the bully as well. Bullying can include the following: mocking, rumors, pushing, threats, exclusion, and being forced to do something one does not want to do.
School violence occurs in and out of school. The most reported cases of school violence occur on school property.
There were 46 percent of schools reporting 20 or more acts of violence on schools grounds. Other forms of school violence occur on the way to or from school and during school-sponsored events. Not only does school violence occur in these areas, but cyber-bullying has also been a big problem in schools lately. Students who are victims of cyber-bullying are more likely to become absent from school or even worse, can lead to several cases of suicide. Bullying Bullying is viewed as a pre-evolution to violence in schools and is common among students in grades six through ten.
It is estimated that about ten percent of students are bullied at some point in their lives, six percent have both been bullied and bullied others and thirteen percent admit to SCHOOL VIOLENCE2 bullying others. Bullying is becoming a hot topic in education because of school violence and suicides. Bullying is defined as an act to humiliate another person who is perceived as weaker, or less capable than the bully. The act of humiliation can be anything from physical, verbal or emotional abuse, as well as sexual harassment, which has been categorized under bullying recently (Fried, 1996).
The bully is usually a person of dominance over the one being bullied. In girls, dominance is achieved by social status and popularity. In boys, it is achieved by physical qualities such as size and strength. Types of Abuse Physical abuse and bullying includes anything from punching, stabbing, shooting, strangling, and suffocating to poking, hair pulling, and excessive tickling. physical abuse is more common between boys but there are still some girls who bully others using physical abuse. (Winkler, 2005). Violence and aggression among youth has increased a lot in the last twenty years and it begins with physical abuse.
This rise in aggression is even more alarming with the higher availability of guns. Instead of using fists and hands more students are using guns and other weapons on both their victims and their bullies. Verbal abuse is the most common form of bullying and there are various forms of this abuse. Verbal abuse is used with an intention to harm another and cause pain, and is used to gain power over another person. (Fried, 1996). In addition, verbal abuse also leaves the victims feeling alone and exposed, and usually escalates, leading to physical consequences.
Emotional abuse can reduce a child's self-confidence to the point where they consider themselves unworthy of respect, friendship, love and protection. This is the most difficult type of abuse to define and diagnose. It can include rejecting, isolating, terrorizing, and corrupting. SCHOOL VIOLENCE3 Sexual abuse is the most complicated, the most difficult to document, and the hardest to address. "Sexual interactions involving children with peers or younger children are problematic if the relationship is coercive, exploitive, aggressive or threatens the physical or psychological well-being of either participant" (Fried, 1996).
Sexual abuse needs two conditions to take place: Sexual activities involving a child and an abusive condition. There are two categories of sexual activities: noncontact and contact sexual abuse. Noncontact abuse includes exhibitionism, voyeurism, verbal sexual propositions or harassment. It can also include sexual notes or pictures, sexual graffiti, making suggestive or sexual gestures, pulling someone's clothes off, and spreading sexual rumors (Fried, 1996).
The conditions of noncontact sexual abuse is sexual activities that occur when there is mutuality, experimentation with sexual language and words in a non-demeaning way, situations when children have equal power and authority, and an absence of coercion or manipulation. Contact sexual abuse is when the other person has a large age or maturational advantage over the child, is in a position of authority, in a caretaking relationship with the child, or the activities are carried out against the child using either force or trickery. What Makes a Bully? Bullies are usually confident and have plenty of self-esteem.
They have no difficulty in making friends, and these friends usually share pro-bullying attitudes and problem behaviors. Bullies tend to get in more trouble in school and do poorly in their academics. Often coming from homes where their parents provide little emotional support or involvement, where discipline styles tend to be either extremely permissive or excessively harsh leads to bullying behavior. "There is a strong relationship between bullying other students at a younger age and being involved in legal and criminal activities later on in life.
About 60 percent of people that were surveyed who were SCHOOL VIOLENCE4 considered bullies in sixth through ninth grade had at least one criminal conviction by age 24" (Rimm, 2005). Victims of bullying tend to have social adjustment problems and are more likely to have low self-esteem and feel anxious and insecure. They rarely defend themselves, and male victims are usually physically weaker or smaller than their peers. The most common reason why kids were bullied was that they do not fit in. Children who are bullied may feel anxious, fearful, and have a hard time concentrating on schoolwork.
Worrying about being harassed by their peers may also make them afraid to even go to school. "Researchers have found that adults who were bullied frequently as children had higher levels of depression and lower self-esteem than other adults" (Rimm, 2005). Those who are both bullied and bully others usually have the most serious behavioral and emotional problems. Social isolation, lack of success in school and behavioral problems combined make them a high-risk group. It is most likely that they were bullied first and then imitated the bullying behavior, although it is possible that they bullied first and others later retaliated.
They exhibit social-emotional adjustment problems typical of bullies as well as victims which makes it unlikely that they will be resilient enough to adjust to a healthy lifestyle without effective intervention strategies. Middle School Violence Middle school is the period in schooling that comes between elementary and high school. The notion of middle school comes from G. Stanley Hall in 1904 that emphasized the need for an intermediate school. According to Hall, there was an adolescent age that requires its own in-between level of schooling.
He defines the childhood period as gradually terminating at the end of the twelfth year, with the transition of adolescence beginning at that point (Coopock, 1974). SCHOOL VIOLENCE5 The background described above is essential in providing reasoning for the increase in violent acts as well as the nature of the violent acts. Middle school is where violent behaviors begin to fester. Just like the middle child in a family, they struggle to fit in. They are too old to fit in with the elementary students and they are not quite old enough to fit in with the high school students.
They are battling with hormones associated with puberty and as mentioned above, are starting to develop physically, mentally, and emotionally, which leads to more aggression, sexual frustration and for some, the inability to cope with new social problems. Common Signs of Violence in Middle School Although there are some forms of violence in elementary school, middle school is where the more violent acts begin, where rampage shootings, sexual harassment and or sexual assault and bullying are the most common.
Other forms of shootings, stabbings and fights are common throughout a child's schooling, but as mentioned in the statistics there is a significant increase in the amounts and forms of violence that occur in middle schools. The numbers go from 34 percent which includes rare shootings, name calling, tattling, fighting, stabbing and bullying in the elementary level to 76 percent which more than doubled adding rampage shooting, sexual assault and sexual harassment to the list at the middle school level. Sexual harassment and or sexual assault can be perpetrating by students and administrators.
For example, Cleveland's Wiley Middle School teacher was sentenced to 153 years for sexually harassing and assaulting two middle school students. The effects of assault caused by personnel leaves a bigger scar on these children because the perpetrators are individuals who are supposed to be responsible for protecting the students. Instead, 31 year old Christopher Thomas of Eastlake used his cell phone to call and text inappropriate sayings of a sexual nature with two 14 year old girls from June 2008 until November 2009.
One of the girls he sexually assaulted in her home and his cell SCHOOL VIOLENCE6 phone and computer contained nude photos of both girls. During his sentencing, the perpetrator cited that he knew what he was doing was wrong. (website, 2010). Middle & High School Violence: Rampage Shootings Most other forms of violence have been described throughout this essay showing the different forms and most of the information provided mainly deals with the problems of urban schools. But contrary to belief, suburban schools encounter school violence of all forms and are particularly known for rampage shootings. Rampage shootings are different from other forms of school violence.
For example, these shootings can take place on school campuses before an audience of fellow students; it can involve multiple victims who are often chosen at random and can be carried out by students or former students of the school where they occur. " (Hunnicutt, 2006). For example 14 year old, Michael Carneal of West Paducah, Kentucky, always wore black and was known by his class mates as a Satanist, he went to school on the morning of Dec. 1 1997 and pulled out a 22 caliber handgun and started firing into a praying group of students.
He left 3 girls dead and 5 others wounded (Hunnicutt, 2006). Littleton, Colorado is home of the most famous rampage shooting recorded in high school history. The perpetrators were two students who attended Columbine High School, Klebold Dylan and Eric Harris. These two young men, dressed in camouflage, entered the building and began shooting at random. They killed 13 people before killing themselves. The Columbine High School shootings gave the world a picture of one type of violence that is within high schools. School Violence: Urban & Suburban Schools
Another factor that may influence the occurrence of violence in schools is the number of students that attend a particular high school. There is a large possibility that the relationship of having more students can directly lead to a form of competition and problems becoming more SCHOOL VIOLENCE7 intense. Compared to the 200,000 public elementary and secondary schools in 1940, there were only 65,000 schools in 2005. In those 65 years, the numbers of schools decreased while the U. S. population increased by 70 percent (Quindlen, 2001).
A study done by Barker and Gump in 1964 on social functioning size and high school size, recognized that on average, students in smaller schools participate in extracurricular activities twice as much as students who are in larger schools. Another study concluded that smaller high schools sizes had more positive results than larger schools in academic performance, absenteeism, dropout rate, extracurricular activities, sense of community, student satisfaction, social behavior, dropout rate, and parental involvement, regardless of rural or urban settings.
Now looking at numbers, "smaller high schools (enrollment size 400-600) experienced one-eighth the rate of serious crimes (four percent compared to 33 percent), one-tenth the rate of physical attacks with weapons (two percent to 20 percent), and one-third the rate of theft or larceny (18 percent to 68 percent) and vandalism (23 percent to 62 percent)" of that compared to larger high schools (enrollments above 600) (Devoe et al. , 2002). The rates of schools violence tend to mirror the behavior of the general population.
Community violence in the inner cities is more of a problem than in rural areas, with rampage shootings being the exception. This helps partially prove that community violence has a direct influence on the children. Much research today suggests that violence is a learned behavior, so children acting out in violent or aggressive ways may have learned the violence from adults in their community. Early intervention may be the best way to prevent this type of behavior. Making the environment safe is the most important thing a community can do.
Schools have adopted a zero tolerance policy against school violence which helps prevent violent acts of behavior. Conclusion SCHOOL VIOLENCE8 There are three recommendations from Dessel's article that can be drawn to inform future practice in education and future research in public school settings. First, increased attention must be paid to the constructs of public school culture and climate. Second, changing school culture and climate specifically involves teacher education. Third, future research must improve and explore the barriers to implementing programs.
As Zirkel and Cantor (2004) state, in 1954 people were not asking whether schools would welcome and nurture African American children and adapt the curriculum to be inclusive, but were only starting to open the doors. Today, the doors must not only swing wide open, but all children must be welcomed with acceptance, celebration of differences and acknowledgement of the contribution of diversity, for the benefit of everyone (Dessel, 2010).

–Bun Part–
1. Sift and mix flours with sugar and baking powder into a large bowl. Add milk, water and oil and stir until it thickens. Dump dough on a work surface and knead by hand for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Return to bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let sit for an hour.
2. Cover work surface with a sprinkling of flour. Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece to ¼-inch thick. Using a 4-inch round cutter, cut out a circle. To fill each bun, hold a piece of dough in the palm of your hand and shape it with your fingers to make it more like a cup. Put a tablespoonful of the beef filling in the center and then pinch the edges of the dough up and around to seal it in (fancy folds take practice!). Put on individual pieces of wax paper with pinched end up (wax paper should be larger than the bottom of the bun.
3. With water in the bottom of a wok measured to the bottom of a 10-inch bamboo steamer, boil on high heat. Arrange 4 buns into each tier of steamer (usually 2 baskets).

Also the Holy Ghost will protect us against being deceived, but for this to happen we must always do the things necessary to retain the spirit. Jacob teaches us not to 'quench the spirit'. I really thought about this. How things throughout my day, things like my reactions, my conversations, the thoughts and feelings I entertain and let grow, my level of gratitude, what I watch or listen to, how I spend my time . . . all have the potential to quench the spirit or enhance the spirit in my life.

Ada Resources
This is an Ada compilation system, including an integrated programming environment with a GUI. It includes a compiler with some of the Ada 2005 extensions, a bunch of additional libraries, and an Ada-aware version of the Gdb debugger. AdaCore sells the professional version of this product, for various target architectures and operating systems.
For COP 4020 we have a free copy for educational use. I have installed the Linux version in my home directory. If you would like to use this compiler, with the debugger , and perhaps try out the GUI, you can add "/home/faculty/baker/linux/gnat/bin" to your PATH environment variable. When you type "gdb", "gnatmake", etc. the loader will get the copies from my directory instead of the standard place. Just using the Ada-aware gdb will be a big help. If you decide to use the IDE you will need to be logged into a Linux/Unix workstation that is runing and X server and has a network connection that will accept X-window connections (but of course these can be tunneled through ssh). The command to start the IDE is just "gps". Please let me know if you have any problems accessing it.

Hubert Selby, Jr. was born in Brooklyn in 1928. At the age of 15, he dropped out of school and went to sea with the merchant marines. While at sea he was diagnosed with lung disease. With no other way to make a living, he decided to try writing- 'I knew the alphabet. Maybe I could be a writer.' In 1964 he completed his first book, Last Exit to Brooklyn, which has since become a cult classic. In 1966, it was the subject of an obscenity trial in the UK. His other books include The Room, The Demon, Requiem for a Dream, Song of the Silent Snow, The Willow Tree and Waiting Period. In 2000, Requiem for a Dream starred Jared Leto and Ellen Burstyn and was directed by Darren Aronofsky. Hubert Selby Jr died in Highland Park, Los Angeles, California in April 2004.

'Go in Peace': Key Lessons from the Qushiyot Israel Experience
"The Rabbis taught: Four entered the Pardes (orchard). They were Ben Azzai, Ben Zoma, Acher and Rabbi Akiva. Rabbi Akiva said to them, "When you come to the place of pure marble stones, do not say, 'Water! Water!' for it is said, 'He who speaks untruths shall not stand before My eyes' (Psalms 101:7)". Ben Azzai gazed and died (Rashi: from looking at the Divine Presence). Regarding him the verse states, 'Precious in the eyes of G-d is the death of His pious ones' (Psalms 116:15). Ben Zoma gazed and was harmed (Rashi: in losing his sanity). Regarding him the verse states, 'Did you find honey? Eat as only much as you need, lest you be overfilled and vomit it' (Proverbs 25:16). Acher cut down the plantings (Rashi: meaning, he became a heretic from the experience). Rabbi Akiva entered in peace and left in peace (Rashi: and went on to become the leading Rabbinic figure of the era" (Babylonian Talmud Hagigah 14b).
Enter in Peace
Why was Rabbi Akiva the only one of the great rabbis who was able to go and leave the orchard in peace?
When Rabbi Akiva told the others not to speak untruth, he was sharing an eternal message. When you arrive in paradise – coming from your own world to another world – and you see something new or different, don't rush to name it. Instead, absorb it, breathe, and focus.
Four different people went into the orchard and four different things happened. Ben Azzai stood at the gate, did not enter and died. Ben Zoma looked in and saw something too complex and lost his mind. He was attracted enough to enter but didn't have the tools to deal with what he saw. Acher became a heretic, he cut down the Jewish community in a way that nothing further could grow. Rabbi Akiva, however, was the right age, had the right emotional state to engage in new, deep ideas. He entered in peace and therefore came out safely.
Go in Peace
We explored this topic on a week-long Qushiyot trip to Israel, where we studied the land, the multivocality and complexities of Israel as a land and a people and the democracy and religious life. As I traveled (and ate!) my way through the land of our forefathers, visiting sites from Hebron to Samaria and the Western Wall, I delved into what Rabbi Akiva's lesson means for my community and my congregation.
Several key points stood out and I share these with you to raise questions and spark meaningful debate. Sorry, there are no right or wrong answers here.
We do not believe in presenting both sides, we believe in multivocality, presenting many sides. When we meet new community members and face difficult challenges, we must not place our assumptions or reality as an overlay on a different paradigm. Each new challenge is an opportunity. My understanding of issues will always be strengthened when placed in dialogue with different understandings.
We must engage with what is burning inside the participants. The need to present a multivocal Israel is not just a matter of educational technique. It is, in fact, a much truer representation of Israel's complex nature and the day to day reality for those who live there – Jews and Arabs and religious and secular Jews alike. We must open up critical debate and ask the difficult questions. This approach requires courage, honesty, and optimism. On the other hand, if we marginalize the Israel related issues that are of central concern to our participants, then we risk marginalizing Israel for them and marginalizing them from the Am (the Jewish people).
Israel education must be multi-generational. When engaging with modern-day Israel, we must draw on and refer to other wise Jews and their writings throughout the generations. In this way, we place Israel in the context of living in a Jewish civilization and ensure that Israel will not be an optional add-on, but rather a central element of our Jewish lives and heritage.
All Israel education programming must point to opportunities for the participant to make a difference.
No one size fits all. Every country, and every community within every country, has its own cultural assumptions that influence the ways they may engage with Israel or any topic. These must be addressed and incorporated into the programming.
Bettering, not battering. We see this method of education as crucial. All Israel education programming must point to opportunities for the participant to make a difference. It can never be enough to intelligently learn of Israel's flaws without being introduced to those organizations and people who strive to fix them. True, successful engagement with Israel leads people to slip off the fence and take a stand to work at bettering, not battering Israel.
Don't go in to a challenging place alone; only enter when you have tools to deal with what is there. Rabbi Akiva's lesson implores us to consider our own communities and congregations. How do we address Israel through the lens of "l'hiyot (to be), am (peoplehood), hofshi (freedom), b'artzeinu (in our land)?" The Four Hatikvah Questions (4HQ), developed by Makom, is an educational method that creates a framework for studying and understanding Israel and its complexities. The meaningful final lyric of Israel's national anthem Hatikvah begs us to look at our communities and ask ourselves: What tools do we have to engage with Israel and Israel education in a meaningful and open dialogue with congregants? What programs have we dedicated to this end? Are we building the connections that impact our future generations through the strength of our heritage?
Qushiyot is a 12-month network experience that includes an intensive 8-day workshop in Israel, offering an opportunity to connect with colleagues of diverse perspectives and partake in a range of learning opportunities to spur innovation. It is a comprehensive, open approach to Israel education that embraces the vibrant complexity of Israel. Quishiyot is a partnership between The Jewish Education Project and Makom.

This is my 30th review of Guild electric guitars. It's my 31st article about guitars on this page, but one of them is a Burnside Lance which doesn't really count.
To celebrate the milestone of 30 reviews, I decided that it was time to review this black beauty, the 1994 Guild S100 Polara. Sure, it looks like another S100 (the third I've reviewed, in fact), but this guitar is really something special as you'll see when you read the article.

Katy Perry entertained the 75,000 strong crowd in Lisbon
And they are also who made up the main stage on the final day of Rock in Rio Lisboa festival this year. Now that's what you call girl power.
When it comes to music festivals, to have an all-female line-up is somewhat unheard of.
Indeed this year Wireless festival in London came under fire for a bill that featured just three female acts over a whole weekend of music.
Addressing the inequality, the PRS Foundation have pledged a 50/50 gender split on line-ups by 2022. But there is a long way to go.
The urgency for change has really grown. One of the biggest challenges has been: where do we start?
"There's still a big imbalance being programmed on festival stages," said Vanessa Reed, CEO of the PRS Foundation.
"The urgency for change has really grown. One of the biggest challenges has been: where do we start?"
Thankfully the tides are turning in Lisbon.
Rock in Rio, a recurring festival which has so far seen dates in Rio de Janeiro, Las Vegas and Madrid, was this year once again held in Lisbon's Bela Vista Park.
Set over two weekends of June, the first saw Muse and Bruno Mars top the bill, the second The Killers and Katy Perry. I headed to Lisbon for the latter, and I was not disappointed.
An all-female line-up is usually unheard of at a music festival
With the headliners on as late as 11pm, there was more than enough time to explore the city before hitting the festival.
Cue a trip to Pastéis de Belém to devour as many traditional Portugese custard tarts as I could before the music started.
Although as it turned out I needn't have, as at Rock in Rio they were selling them for a euro a pop.
Lisbon's famous Time Out food market was on site too, condensed to 14 stalls selling everything from charcuterie boards to Michelin star meals by chefs from the Algarve.
When they were not eating, elsewhere revellers partied around a specially built swimming pool, floating on green rubber ducks as they listened to classic tunes from the 1990s.
The Rock in Rio Lisboa featured a host of female performers
As the festival took place during the World Cup, at 7pm on Saturday the music made way for Portugal vs Uruguay, which was shown on every screen on site.
Yet unfortunately for festival organisers, Portugal lost the game and the 75,000-strong crowd witnessed their country's defeat in HD.
Perhaps even more unfortunate was Jessie J, whose job it was to perk the crowd back up after the match.
But, fresh from winning the Chinese equivalent of The X Factor, the talented singer came on stage draped in a Portugese flag and got the crowd back into a party mood with hits Domino, Do It Like A Dude and Price Tag.
For the adrenaline junkies, a zip line was set up in front of the main stage so fans could whizz above the crowd and past their heroes at speed.
Jessie J played on the main stage on the final day in Lisbon
I chickened out and instead watched festival goers dressed as Batman and Robin soar over my head against a backdrop of The Man by The Killers.
The Las Vegas rockers put on a characteristically brilliant performance, with Mr Brightside, Shot At The Night and All These Things That I've Done being particular highlights.
Frontman Brandon Flowers, looking sharp in an embroidered jacket, appeared to be having as much fun as the fans themselves.
Unlike many festivals, which pack the bill with as many acts as they can, Rock in Rio featured just four artists per day, meaning each one could play a full set, with some as long as 90 minutes.
The Chemical Brothers also performed at Rock in Rio Lisboa
Katy Perry, who closed the festival, brought her entire Witness tour show to the stage, delighting the crowd with Roar, California Girls and Firework, after which a display of rockets really did light up the sky as the night came to an end.
Next stop for Rock in Rio will be back home in Brazil in September 2019.
"We've got big plans," one of the organisers told me.
I'll see you at the front.

"at the heart of the community"
Alloa Athletic have landed a Ladbrokes League One August awards double after a terrific start to the season.
Boss Jack Ross has been voted Manager of the Month and Jordan Kirkpatrick has picked up the Player of the Month prize. The Wasps beat Peterhead (4-0), Stranraer (5-2), East Fife (2-1) and Albion Rovers (4-0) in League One and racked up a club record 10 straight wins in three competitions this season before losing to Livingston at the weekend.
Ross told Ladbrokes News: "There's an ambition within our group and you can't have that without accepting the expectancy around it. There's got to be a pressure on yourself to reach your standards. "It's the first award of this type for me and you must take pride in any individual award. Sometimes, especially in this country, you play things down and say you're not really that bothered but it's a great feeling for me and a reflection of what everyone is doing. "It's a really good club to work for - I've got a great relationship with the chairman and there are people around the club, from training days to match days, who give up their time for nothing and are a tremendous help. "The backroom staff I inherited, and the ones I added, are all very good characters. They are aligned with how I try to approach things. They have to put up with my slightly OCD nature at times as well!"
Jordan Kirkpatrick told Ladbrokes News: "To be honest, I'd have to say it's been down to the rest of the team, and definitely the manager."Obviously I wouldn't be getting the chances if the boys weren't creating them for me, so massive compliments to them for creating and giving me the chance to get these goals. "The gaffer has helped a lot – not just with me – in terms of confidence and expressing ourselves. He's helped me enjoy playing again. "A lot of the boys in the team probably haven't enjoyed it as much over the last couple of seasons as they have this season under the gaffer. "He is very good one-to-one with you and knows a lot about the game. From what I witnessed at Dumbarton, he helped a lot of the boys there. He's came here and we all saw a turn-around from Alloa last year, even though they were at the stage where they were facing relegation, they still managed to become a bit more stable and consistent. It just shows you that he can definitely go very far in the game if he just keeps doing what he's doing. "He's always involved with the boys at training and he's always getting involved in the banter, so he's good that way. But if there's wee spells where he can get a chance to pull you aside and have a wee one-to-one then he'll give you some tips on things you've done and the weekend and where you can improve. "He's all about trying to progress the boys. He's not about keeping them where they are, he's trying to get them to go as far as they can, which we all notice and appreciate."
The Ladbrokes monthly awards are voted for by members of the Scottish media, with a Manager and a Player of the Month selected for each of the four divisions.

A Curriculum for Transforming Lives and Communities
by Gil Odendaal
InterVarsity Press
IVP Connect
Christian, Religion & Spirituality
Pub Date 02 Oct 2016
I was given a copy of Standing with the Vulnerable through thempublisher and their partnership with Netgalley in exchange for my honest review which is as follows:
Standing With the Vulnerable introduces us to then"tree curriculum" based in Africa and Asia.
The author points out we all have our strengths even if we have trouble seeing them sometimes.
This book would make a great addition to a churches study on Mission work and helping those less fortunate. The questions at the end of each chapter leave ample room for discussion.
I give Standing with the Vulnerable five out of five stars.
Happy Reading.

It's been busy around here. Lots of work and lots of cold weather. Yes it was 28 degrees this morning! Brrrrr......it's cold.....for here. It makes it harder to get things done. I just want to stay inside and stay asleep, under the covers. Is that so wrong??
Anyway, I thought I should post something. I did make a couple of things. I was just too lazy to blog about it. So here they are:
I finally got my copy of 1,000 Vegan Recipes by Robin Robertson! So I made my first recipe out of it: German-Style Kool-Sla. It's REALLY good. I left out the oil and added some water instead. As it turns out, it sure did make a lot of liquid, so I probably could've left out any added water as well. I cut down the sugar by about a third. I think I could've cut it down even more. It had a nice sweet and sour flavor, definitely worth making again.
It was a cold and wintery night (although there was no snow in sight) and I wanted some hot roasted potatoes. So that's just what I did! I added some green peppers and onions. It was like having breakfast potatoes! They all went in the oven for about 30 minutes, with a little salt, pepper, and paprika.
Yesterday I made the most amazing Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies! You HAVE to try them. They're from HaveCakeWillTravel's blog. Here are the changes I made:
I left out the shortening, and added that amount of water.
I used 1 cup of demerara sugar (I could've cut it down even more...they're VERY sweet)
I used 3/4 cup chocolate chips, but there were WAY too many.
I didn't cover them with plastic wrap (I didn't have any), I just laid them out on parchment paper on a cookie sheet in the fridge for about 1 1/2 hours.
They needed to bake for about 4-5 extra minutes.
They are DELICIOUS!! (I even parted with some and brought them to work today...they didn't take long to disappear.)
Well, that does it for today's post. It's still cold, and I may not blog again until Sunday or so. We'll see how it goes, and if I get to the market tomorrow. They say tomorrow's "box" will be the biggest one yet, so I really should go....and there's cauliflower to be had! I must!
PS-I forgot I made a tasty bean dip: 1 cup black beans, 1/2 cup chickpeas, 1 tsp tahini, juice of 1 lemon (or more if you like it really lemony), and some salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Put it all in the food processor!
Eat smart,
I'm a classical musician and a vegetarian. I eat mostly a plant-based diet and love finding new vegan & raw recipes to try. Blogging is a new passion of mine and I try to post as often as I can (between rehearsals and concerts) Eat smart!

As I have said, repeatedly, I like liberal causes. I just don't like liberals, especially progressives. Currently, I think liberals are where the far right was in 2009, when they jumped the shark with the tea parties. The left began changing about a year ago. Until then, they were nice people, warm fuzzy, and a lot of fun. Then they changed. Maybe they were always like that, and I was delusional. What I have discovered is that Democrats will rally around the chosen, no matter what. The GOP will pick someone apart (at times they should not) but there is a basic intellectual honesty. Democrats will support that yellow dog, no matter if he is rabid, full of ticks with Lyme Disease, and has been skunked. Unfortunately, they are highly unacceptable to talking points, and suggestions from higher-up.
One of the most annoying things, recently, is the liberal hatred of anyone from the South, if they are not of a certain race and creed. After the Charleston shooting it became a very real witch hunt, with pure vitriol and hatred spewed at people who were white, Southern, and Christian. I seem to remember groups like the SPLC going insane about tracking white supremacists the way several GOP POTUS candidates mentioned tracking Muslims. A former FBI agent told NPR:
"…By tracking the data, they can better understand how the violence works. The terrorism is a methodology. It's not an ideology. If you looked at the methodologies, you would view this problem completely different; where the Charleston shooting is far more like the Fort Hood shooting than it is like Oklahoma City. All right, even though the ideology is similar with Oklahoma City and the Charleston shooting, it's a different methodology. There are millions of racists in the United States. There are hundreds of thousands of people who are with organized white supremacist groups. Very few actually commit acts of violence. There are also people who are not part of the white supremacist movement or any ideological movement who commit mass atrocities. So we have to understand that the ideology, while it's important to understand and to look at and certainly discuss in the public, it's neither necessary or sufficient to the violence that we are trying to control…."
When a Christian, Republican says the same thing about Islamic terrorists, they are damned as racist. One of the real problems here is that normal people recognize that ISIS is as much a criminal organization as it is 'religious'. It is a criminal enterprise. But, when dealing with certain aspects of the anti-hate movement, those who are terrified of white supremacists, they ignore the fact that the numbers of deaths caused by white supremacists have been overly inflated due to the criminal activities of certain criminal organizations like various skinheads. Morris Dees and Richard Cohen co-authored a NY Times op-ed right after the Charleston shootings.
I have spent the past ten years tracking the movements of white supremacists in this country. We truly do not have a real problem. Currently, there are fewer than 7,000 members of the KKK. The anti-immigration movement is basically dead. Only white supremacists perpetuate terror attacks in the US, if you listen to the media, the SPLC, and the Obama Administration.
Terror attacks or thwarted attacks for 2015, in the US, from the ADL. The terror attempts with connections to Islamic terror are highlighted in red.
- "…Joshua Ryne Goldberg of Florida was arrested in September for allegedly sending bomb-making instructions to and developing a plot with an undercover source. The plot involved building a pressure cooker bomb and detonating it at a 9/11 memorial in Kansas City, MO. Following his arrest, Goldberg claimed he had planned to alert law enforcement prior to the bomb's detonation.
- Harlem Suarez of Florida was arrested in July for allegedly plotting to detonate a bomb at a Florida beach. He also discussed attacking law enforcement officers.
- Mohammad Yousef Abdulazeez of Tennessee was killed after he opened fire at two military facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee in July. The attack resulted in five deaths, in addition to Abdulazeez's death. Abdulazeez was reportedly inspired by Al Qaeda propaganda.
- Alexander Ciccolo of Massachusetts was arrested in July as a felon in possession of a weapon. Ciccolo allegedly planned to attack a state university.
- Justin Nojan Sullivan of North Carolina was arrested in June for allegedly plotting an attack that included shootings in public venues and a bomb plot that involved biological weapons.
- Munther Omar Saleh and
- Fareed Mumuni of New York were arrested in June after each attempted to attack law enforcement officials in separate instances. The two had allegedly planned to undertake an attack on a New York City landmark. Saleh and Mumuni were part of a conspiracy that also involved at least three other people,
- Samuel Rahamin Topaz,
- Alaa Saadeh and
- Saadeh's brother, but these three were apparently more focused on traveling to join ISIS and the degree of their involvement in the plot is unclear.
- Usaama Rahim of Massachusetts was killed when he drew a knife after being approached for questioning by law enforcement officers. He had allegedly plotted with
- David Wright of Massachusetts and
- Nicholas Rovinski of Rhode Island to behead Pamela Geller (head of the anti-Muslim organization Stop Islamicization of America) on behalf of ISIS; the plot later shifted to attempting to behead a police officer.
- Elton Simpson and
- Nadir Soofi of Arizona were shot and killed when they attempted to undertake a shooting at a Garland, Texas community center. They were allegedly assisted by co-conspirator
- Decarus Thomas of Arizona, who was arrested in June.
- Miguel Moran Diaz of Florida was arrested in April on charges that he was a felon in possession of a firearm. Reports indicated that he planned to target Miami residents.
- John T. Booker and
- Alexander Blair of Kansas were arrested in April for allegedly attempting to undertake a suicide attack at the Ft. Riley military base.
- Noelle Velentzas and
- Asia Siddiqui of New York were arrested in April for allegedly purchasing bomb-making equipment with plans for an attack.
- Hasan Edmonds
- and Jonas Edmonds of Illinois were arrested in March and charged with attempting to join ISIS and plotting an attack against a military base.
- an unnamed minor from South Carolina was arrested in February and accused of formulating a plot to attack a North Carolina military base and then travel abroad to join ISIS.
- Abdurasul Juraboev and
- Akhror Saidakhmetov of New York were arrested in February and charged with material support for terror. Court documents state they were attempting to join ISIS and discussing the possibility of a domestic attack.
- Abdirahman Sheikh Mohamud of Ohio was arrested in February and charged in April with joining Jabhat al Nusra. He allegedly returned to the U.S. with the intention of perpetrating an attack against a military base in Texas. Court documents indicate that Mohamud supported both ISIS and Jabhat al Nusra, although he had fought with Jabhat al Nusra.
- Christopher Lee Cornell of Ohio was arrested in January for his alleged plot to attack the U.S. Capitol after failing to connect with ISIS members abroad…."
The left likes to point to the fact that, since 9/11, something like 26 individuals have been killed by Islamic terror here in the US, and 48 have been killed by white supremacists. They DO NOT factor into their study the foiled plots. In fact, we do not discuss foiled plots, nor the lives saved, but the people murdered by white supremacists, almost all of whom were deranged individuals who should have been locked up, long ago.
Does the Obama Administration have a preference for Sunni Muslims? What this is about is the fact that the left has literally jumped the shark with their abject hatred of anyone who dares be a Christian and open their mouth about what is going on with Islamic terror. No one is allowed to state their fears, nor the problem with the quotas and the people the Administration is bring into the country. Doing so, makes you a racist. To even mention 'tracking' Muslim refugees coming into the country is not Christian. But – there is nothing wrong with targeting, tracking, and infiltrating organizations considered to be white supremacist.
I think white supremacists are the scum of the earth. If there are millions upon millions as one FBI expert has alleged, then he has automatically destroyed the argument of white supremacist terror. If there are millions upon millions of Americans who are white supremacists, then white supremacist terror does not exist. There needs to be a database of individuals, no matter what race or religion, who are potential terrorists. And, yes, they need to be tracked. If certain organizations appear to have a terror connection, they need to be watched. No quarter should be given, no matter how liberal or politically correct the cause.
The left needs to understand when you demonize an entire race, religion, and political class, and then want to give another religion a pass, you end up making yourselves looking like fools. The only thing keeping this from happening today is the fact that the media is covering up for Obama's disastrous lack of policy when it comes to ISIS.

The Escapist 2: Prison Breaks are Fun
The Escapist 2 is a continuation of the Steam hit The Escapist, in which you find new and creative ways to break out of the various prisons you find yourself in over the course of the game. Each location being a bit weirder, or harder than the previous one.
The Escapist 2 has seemingly found success, much like its predecessor, on the Steam network. The game works by adhering to a simple rule: follow routine. While you must escape prison, doing so right away is impossible. You have to slowly build up items, craft tools, and create a rather good escape plan. However, it's important to note you can't just engage in all these activities without raising suspicion with the guards. Rather you must adhere to a daily schedule so as to make sure the guards to begin to suspect you of your future plans.
That's right, eating, sleeping, working, reading, etc, it's all apart of your daily routine within the game. This ensures that the guards don't beat you down and take your hard earned gear due to their idle suspicions. So despite it being tedious, make sure to stick to a routine or else you will be faced with a never ending cycle of disappointment.
Normal prisons are hardly the only thing you will have to escape from during the game. You will even get the chance to escape while in transit from one joint to another, ensuring you get a unique experience that might not be afforded to you inside another clink.
The game seems like a lot of fun, and was a surprising find for me on the Steam network. Let us know what you think of the game if you've played it, or whether or not you'll be giving it a try.
Please take a second to give us a follow on our twitter @TheSaveSpot1 or our instagram thesavespot. We're a little gaming website that is trying to be like the little engine that could, but we can't without your support.

I Stood By Your Bed Last Night
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew,
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over… I smile and watch you yawning and say "good-night,
God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out … then come home to be with me.

Drugs are big money.
Case-in-point: the fat wallet of "El Chapo." Wait, who?
Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera made the Forbes Billionaires List this week.
He's the 701th member of the list with an estimated net worth of $1 billion.
Guzman Loera is the head of the Sinaloa drug cartel. He escaped from Mexican prison in 2001, CNN reports.
The Attorney General of Mexico was not pleased:
"I will never accept that a criminal could be recognized as someone distinguished, even if it is by a magazine like Forbes," Medina Mora said at a drug traffic summit Thursday in Vienna, Austria, CNN reports.
Forbes is "comparing the deplorable activity of a criminal wanted in Mexico and abroad with that of honest businessmen," he said.
Nor is the Mexican president:
"It is very sad the intensification of a campaign, which seems to me, has been launched against Mexico," President Felipe Calderon said.

School Social Worker
School Social Workers provide a link between home, school, and community. This service enables students and their families to overcome social and personal problems which impede learning. School social workers provide individual and group counseling, consultation to teachers, and other services which help students cope with their disabilities. They collaborate with community agencies and provide case management for students and families requiring multiple services.
Positive School-Home Communication: A Collaborative Effort for Student Success (PDF)
Nature of Work:
- Conduct interviews with a student, family members, and school personnel to gather information required by a multidisciplinary team about a student's social, emotional, and behavioral adjustment to school and the community

- Collaborate with education and social services professionals to develop appropriate agency services for students and their families
- Work with various school groups to develop coping, social, and decision making skills
- Participate on school teams developing policies and practices to prevent school violence and reduce the number of school dropouts
Education Required:
- Most school social workers possess a master's degree in social work (MSW).
- The National Association of Social Workers has created a School Social Work Specialist (SSWS) credential that requires a master's and at least two years of post-masters supervised school social work experience as well as a passing score on the social work component of the National Teaching Examination. This is not generally required by school districts.
Personal Qualities:
- Collaborative
- Sensitive and responsive to the needs of others
- Resourceful
- Flexible
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
