Parent Angry About Alcohol Punishment At School
Officials Suspend 15, Expel At Least 2 Students After Incident
Officials at Orange County Public Schools said a middle school student filled a plastic bottle with liquor and brought it to school.
Officials said other students drank some of the alcohol and passed it around. They said 15 students were suspended, and at least two were expelled.
Arlene Nunez said she got the call about her daughter's suspension while she was at work. She said it caught her off guard, especially since her daughter is an eighth-grader at Lake Nona Middle School.
"(I was) devastated, thinking that they absolutely have mistaken my daughter for someone else," Nunez said.
Nunez said her daughter admitted she drank the alcohol, but she said it was an accident. She said her daughter was thirsty, but the teacher wouldn't let her get a drink.
Nunez said a friend offered her daughter a swig from his Gatorade bottle.
"She took the bottle, putting it to her mouth, and chugged, thinking it was water," Nunez said.
Nunez said the bottle contained straight alcohol. Several other students drank some of it, and rumors started flying.
"I heard they were putting stuff in the Gatorade bottles and drinking stuff from it," student Malia Ramos said.
Then, the news went home, and one parent called the school. It was punishment time shortly thereafter.
"I thought it was really unfair. First of all, without them having facts and going by hearsay, and especially the children not knowing what they were drinking," Nunez said.

Planned Parenthood South Texas expands abortion services in San Antonio
After the recent closure of an abortion clinic in southeast San Antonio, one of the city's two remaining abortion providers is expanding services at its near-downtown location.
Planned Parenthood South Texas last week began offering abortion services at its clinic on San Pedro Avenue, near Tobin Hill, following renovations of the building. Previously, the provider had performed abortions only at its Medical Center location and had offered other sexual health services at its four other locations in the city. The provider also operates in Brownsville and Harlingen.
The change comes weeks after Whole Woman's Health, the provider that has spearheaded court battles against Texas' abortion laws, announced that it had shuttered its clinic in southeast San Antonio at the end of 2018 due to a lack of business. The closure left the city with two abortion providers, Planned Parenthood South Texas and Alamo Women's Reproductive Services.

Jeffrey Hons, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood South Texas, said the clinic on San Pedro was outfitted to provide a full range of services near the city's geographic center and "equidistant from the greatest number of people in the city."
"We wanted to have a larger footprint and increase our service delivery capacity in this kind of central part of the city," he said.
Planned Parenthood South Texas began seeing patients at the San Pedro location in April 2017, after relocating from space it was renting nearby on West Ashby Place. The building is split into adjoining suites, with one side licensed for abortions and the other providing various services, including contraception, testing for pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, fertility assistance and cervical cancer screenings.
The clinic also provides assistance to economically disadvantaged patients by charging on a sliding scale, Hons said.
Last year, the San Pedro clinic served nearly 2,800 patients, care that included more than 3,700 tests for sexually transmitted diseases, almost 540 cervical cancer screenings and the distribution of more than 5,100 contraceptive units, according to data from the provider. In 2018, its Medical Center clinic performed 1,453 abortions, 74 percent of which were administered with medication.
By expanding services, Hons said the provider hopes to serve more patients at the San Pedro location.
On ExpressNews.com: Advocates and foes mark the anniversary of landmark abortion ruling
In 2015, Planned Parenthood South Texas opened a $6.5 million clinic on Babcock Road, space that includes an ambulatory surgical center for abortions and a health center.
The clinic opened a year before the U.S. Supreme Court struck down key portions of Texas' House Bill 2, which would have required abortion providers to meet the standards of ambulatory surgical centers and employ physicians who have hospital admitting privileges. More than half of the state's abortion clinics closed in response to the law.

Fang Zheng and Mo Chen both walked up the stage.
"Fang Zheng, don't think that I will lose just because you have Rank two cultivation! Today I will challenge and beat a higher realm." Mo Bei gritted his teeth, his expression solemn, cheering for himself in his heart. Against the Rank two Fang Zheng, he indeed felt a strong sense of pressure.
"Come." Fang Zheng roared, rushing out ferociously.
Mo Bei's heart jumped, this Fang Zheng wasn't acting according to plan. Normally, they would first shoot moonblades before using hand to hand combat. But this time, he actually rushed up immediately, and wants to fight physically?
"Isn't he afraid of getting injured by my moonblade when exchanging punches and kicks?" Mo Bei was perturbed.
He was naturally not worried for Fang Zheng's safety, but knew that if they engaged in close combat, with such a short distance if Fang Zheng shot a moonblade, it was unavoidable.
Mo Bei quickly took a step back, attempting to pull some distance. At the same time, he shot out a moonblade with a flick of his wrist.
Fang Zheng was unfazed, taking a tumble and avoiding the moonblade, continuing his pursuit. At the same time, a lump of lunar energy collected in his palm.
Mo Bei looked at the moonlight in his hands that hasn't been fired and felt tense in his heart, quickly taking steps back.
Although he worked hard in close combat and also trained his moonblade, he was still inferior to Fang Zheng who was nurtured personally by the clan leader.
Mo Bei was not suited to this style of combat, and quickly fell into disadvantage.
"Eh? That side is interesting." The battle on this arena attracted much attention.
"They're actually fighting so closely, this Fang Zheng has guts." Yao Hong could now discern who is Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng. Fang Yuan had a cold expression and emitted an aura of maturity, while Fang Zheng was steel-willed, radiating a sunny aura.
"It must be the clan leader's teaching. Normally when students fight, they would be ten meters apart. Further than this distance and the moonblade would dissipate. If they fought closer than this distance, the students would not react in time." Gu Yue Qing Shu's gaze shone, "Fang Zheng's battle distance now has shrunk to six meters, but his ability to avoid the moonblade is proficient. It seems that not only is the clan leader helping Fang Zheng, but Fang Zheng also put in some hard work and went through much hardship."
"Little brother!" Mo Yan seeing Mo Bei forced into a corner by Fang Zheng, showed worry and panic on her face. She really wanted to go in and help out, giving Fang Zheng a good beating.
Chi Shan however was expressionless, only watching and not speaking. After Fang Zheng got close to Mo Bei and shortened the distance to six meters, he no longer got closer, but used the Moonlight Gu and entered a firing contest.
Mo Bei tried hard to improvise. His actions were in a mess, and many times he was almost hit by the moonblades, constantly in danger.
Fang Zheng on the other hand, already had his winning formula.
Even if he could not evade in time, he still had the Jade Skin Gu, and as long as he uses the jade green glow in time, he would be able to block the moonblade.
Seeing how Mo Bei was defenselessly beaten by himself, Fang Zheng's thoughts flew back to a time in the past.
Under the moonlight, the clan leader taught him the evasion movements step by step, unreservedly imparting him all the experience he had.
"Clan leader, I will not let you down." Fang Zheng's eyes shimmered with hope, he was getting braver as he fought!
"Fang Zheng, you have the talent and the endurance, studiously training. The result is all because of your blood and sweat. This is the fruits of your hard work, continue like this, Fang Zheng. Using this aura, go and show your brilliance!" Under the tentage, the clan leader excitedly cheered on inwardly, even though he looked like he was quietly watching the fight, his lips curled into a smile.
Although Mo Bei struggled furiously, resisting adamantly, but after fifteen minutes, his entire body was full of injuries, the blood oozing out and dyeing his shirt red.
The organizing Gu Master, upon seeing such a scene, announced, "The victory goes to Gu Yue Fang Zheng."
"I haven't lost yet!" Mo Bei shouted loudly, his entire bloodbathed body wavering in the air. But after struggling to no end, he was forced to receive treatment by the healing Gu Masters.
"A battle of such an intensity is already beyond the graduating standard."
"An A grade talent, is after all a genius."
"I heard he received personal guidance from the clan leader, can he not be amazing?"
Seeing such a result, the Gu Masters below the stage praised endlessly.
Gu Yue Fang Zheng panted as he walked down the stage. Three Gu Masters came to him and healed him, while also providing free primeval stones to allow him to quickly recover his primeval essence.
After resting for a while, he recovered to his peak condition and ascended the stage again.
This time, he was against Gu Yue Chi Cheng.
Chi Cheng looked at Fang Zheng, laughing dryly, "Very good! Fang Zheng, you defeated Mo Bei that rascal, if I defeat you now, it would be killing two birds with one stone."
He seemed very confident.
Fang Zheng's lips remained tight, as he said nothing but rushed towards him.
"Dragonpill cricket Gu!" Chi Cheng's thought flashed, and immediately an orange red-coloured glow came from both his legs. He leapt lightly and instantly retreated ten meters away.
The distance that Fang Zheng had just shortened was immediately lengthened.
"Hehehe." Chi Cheng got smug and laughed, "Fang Zheng, you have no speed increasing Gu, and with your two legs, you cannot catch me. Although this stage isn't big, it is enough for me to manoeuvre. Your tactic might have worked on Mo Bei, but against me it is ineffective."
"Is that so?" Fang Zheng stopped his movements and stood on the spot, staring intently at Chi Cheng.
He smiled, his eyes showing iron will, shouting loudly, "Continue dodging like that, but everytime you use the Dragonpill cricket Gu, you have to use a certain amount of primeval essence. You have merely Rank one peak stage green copper primeval essence, but I am already at Rank two red steel primeval essence, three times your endurance. Your talent is inferior to me as well. At the end, you would run out of primeval essence and the loser will be you!"
"You!" Chi Cheng was shocked, he only saw his advantage but did not notice his weakness. Right now, he could not help but agree with Fang Zheng, and his fighting spirit dampened.
"What, Fang Zheng is Rank two?!" The surrounding Gu Masters gasped. The examination results were only obtained the day before, thus they were only spread among certain people, so most of the crowd did not know about it yet.
"An A Grade talent no doubt, amazing, this Fang Zheng might really be the rising star of our clan."
"Bai clan has that Bai Ning Bing, he is really too powerful. If Fang Zheng can grow up, he might be able to resist Bai Ning Bing."
"This lad is interesting. Getting to Rank two in the academy and with such solid basic skills, this is such an uncommon scene. No wonder the clan leader poured so much effort into him," Yao Hong muttered.
Qing Shu replied, "The clan leader's guidance is only part of it, don't look down on this lad. Ever since he survived the assassination incident, he has become very hardworking, cultivating to the best of his limits, he is a good seedling, with both talent and hardwork. If he can grow up..., sigh, I feel like my burden is increasing."
"Hehehe." Clan leader Gu Yue Bo laughed lightly.
Chi Cheng's weak nature was analyzed by him to Fang Zheng. Now that he saw Fang Zheng using it to his advantage, Gu Yue Bo was very pleased.
"It seems that Fang Zheng is this year's number one." Beside the clan leader, Gu Yue Mo Chen said.
Gu Yue Chi Lian snorted, staring at the scene intently. He obviously wished for his grandson to win and defeat Fang Zheng, that way he would win honour for the Chi faction.
But things do not go as he wished, and on the stage after getting demoralized, Chi Cheng could no longer display his 100% ability against Fang Zheng, and made continuous mistakes.
Eventually, Chi Cheng was caught with a fatal flaw, and was swept down the stage.
"Gu Yue Fang Zheng wins!" Gu Master announced.
Gu Yue Chi Lian's face was black.
At once, Fang Zheng was famous, getting all the attention from the clan people.
"Fang Zheng beat Mo Bei and Chi Cheng simultaneously with wits and courage, it seems he is the first place this year," Some people praised.
"Makes sense, I think well of him as well. Too bad he cannot join our group." As the groups choose students, students are also choosing groups. A seeded student like Fang Zheng was already long booked.
"Fang Zheng is the clan leader's faction, while Mo Bei, Chi Cheng are the Mo faction, Chi faction's future leaders. This way, it seems that the Gu Yue Clan would be heavily dominated by the clan leader faction, suppressing the two clan elders." Some people could see even further.
On the other two stages, the battles continued.
Fang Zheng walked down the stage long ago, hearing the people's praises, his heart roaring as he felt himself being reborn.
Different, it was very different from before.
His heart was filled with the excitement of recognition, the anticipation of being appreciated, and the joy of being commended.
A gust of winter wind blew, and although he felt the chilly wind, Fang Zheng could only feel the sense of warmth like the summer day.
"Last match, Gu Yue Fang Zheng vs Gu Yue Fang Yuan!" A while later, an announcer shouted.

Special Category: The IRA in English Prisons vol.1; 1968-1978 by Ruan O'Donnell
Irish Academic Press ISBN 978 0 7165 3141 8
It will come as a surprise to many people in this country that there have been political prisoners in English jails. In this book Ruan O'Donnell provides a comprehensive account of who they were, why they were there and what both the British government and the prisoners themselves felt about the situation.
We are, of course, talking about Irish prisoners who were in English jails from the late 1960s onwards because of Britain's occupation of the Six Counties of Ireland (otherwise known as Northern Ireland) and the unresolved political situation which affected both sides of the Irish border and Britain, and also had an international dimension.
What is amazing about this book is the way in which Ruan has used an array of sources. He has interviewed many participants – including prisoners and their families – as well as using private collections of correspondence and papers, state archives, declassified documents and official records of parliamentary business. His attention to detail is incredible; in one chapter there are over 300 footnotes!
There have been Irish prisoners in British jails going back to the United Irishmen in the 1790s. In this book Ruan looks at a ten year period, beginning with the new phase of the Troubles in 1968. After this date the numbers of Irish Republicans jailed increased and the tactics of the British Government towards these prisoners changed. And, as the numbers of Republican prisoners in English jails grew, they organised against an increasingly harsh prison regime;
It was no coincidence that the first two fatal hunger strikes of the modern Troubles occurred in England and that events within the Dispersal System resonated, often powerfully,on Irish soil over three decades.
In the 1970s I went to a predominantly Irish secondary school in the heart of the Irish community in Manchester and, whilst the main agenda for the hierarchy of this Catholic school was to deliver law- abiding British children, there were Irish teachers who were Republican minded. I remember vividly one Irish nun telling us about the interned Irish prisoners in the Six Counties and their harsh conditions. And in that Irish area (like many parts of Britain in the 70s) houses were being raided by the police and Irish people were being dragged off to police stations. Many years later I would be involved in the various miscarriage of justice campaigns that had sprung up (driven by the relatives of the prisoners) to get justice for the well-known (such as the Birmingham 6) and the less well-known (such as Frank Johnson and Kate Magee).
One civil rights activist, a nun named Sister Sarah Clarke, played a significant role over twenty-five years in providing support to Irish prisoners and their families. She worked in London and, in her autobiography, explained how the effects of the war in Ireland affected the Irish in Britain:
The Irish population in British cities found themselves under attack by formerly friendly neighbours and an increasingly repressive and sophisticated police force.
The Irish community in Britain has always played a significant role in opposing Britain's occupation of Ireland but, as the war intensified and the IRA brought its actions to England, it was the community which took the backlash. The British Government rushed through the Prevention of Terrorism Act in 1974 after the Birmingham pub bombings which, whilst not stopping IRA activity, did severely curtail democratic debate in this country about the war going on in Northern Ireland. From 1974 to the early 1980s very few Irish people, and even less English people, wanted to be seen to be taking part in any public opposition to the eroding of civil and human rights of Irish people on both sides of the Irish Sea.
Ruan puts this into context and weaves together some of the campaigning work done by outstanding people such as Sister Sarah on behalf of prisoners and their families. She had been active from the 1960s but, after 1973, was barred from visiting prisoners. She only found out in 1985 that she had been stopped from being an approved visitor on the grounds of "security". In her biography, No Faith In The System (1995), she outlines her reasons for her tireless work for Irish prisoners.
Whilst IRA prisoners in English jails asserted their Republican political views, for those individuals such as the Birmingham 6, Guildford 4, Maguire 7 and others who were victims of miscarriages of justice, in effect convicted of being Irish in the wrong place at the wrong time, it is heartbreaking to read the accounts of their unjust treatment by all levels of the police, courts and prison system. As Ruan says about the Maguire family;
Their case was arguably the single worst incidence of judicial abuse perpetrated under the Prevention of Terrorism Act and indicated that any Irish person, regardless of age, gender or political orientation, was liable to face imprisonment if elements of the British Establishment so desired.
Patrick, the youngest of the Maguire family, was only 13 when he was arrested with his family. Using later discredited forensic tests the police said the family had handled the explosive nitroglycerine. Patrick served four years, mainly in adult prisons. He was refused parole because he continued to assert his innocence. In 1991 all the convictions of the Maguire 7 were quashed as the evidence was ruled as unsafe.
Patrick is now a talented artist, while his biography My Father's Watch has been turned into a play. Probably most importantly he, like Paddy Hill of the Birmingham 6, has gone on to help other prisoners who have been unjustly jailed in the organisation The Miscarriages of Justice Organisation
As the number of Irish Republican prisoners in English jails increased, they took part in a variety of strategies to seek their freedom. This included escapes, riots and legal challenges. They became very important in the Republican strategy for resolving the political situation in the Six Counties and, as we saw in the negotiations in the 1990s leading to the Good Friday Agreement, the prisoners had a major influence in the settlement. Ruan's book covers the first part of this story up to 1978. It is a fascinating and important history of the Irish struggle, and makes one look forward to the next volume.

My personal style signifier is red lipstick. It brings out my features and is quite dramatic, but without it I look very pale. I have about five shades to pick from, but the one I like most is YSL Pur Couture The Mats in Rouge Rock. £26; www.yslbeauty.co.uk.
The last item of clothing I added to my wardrobe was a pair of Nicholas Kirkwood for Roksanda black and white pointy high heels with a bow. I like the unusual curved shape of the heel. I bought them about a month ago and have worn them a lot. I rarely buy anything without wearing it immediately. £560; 9 Mount Street, London W1 (020-7613 6499; www.roksanda.com).
The best gift I've given recently was a taxidermy piece by Polly Morgan, to my husband. A tiny bird lies on top of a tiny book with a miniature working chandelier above it, all encased in a glass dome. It is both serene and macabre. www.pollymorgan.co.uk.
And the best one I've received was a vintage cubic brass lamp by Curtis Jeré. My husband gave it to me as a surprise – he knows I love metal lamps and that I'm fascinated by folding techniques. He gives me the best gifts but won't tell me where he got this one.
The last meal that truly impressed me was dinner at the bar at Bentley's in Mayfair. It is one of the best fish restaurants in London and I had two specials of the day – scallop ceviche and lobster soufflé – but my favourite dish on the menu is tortellone of Cornish crab with tomato and basil. 11-15 Swallow Street, London W1 (020-7734 4756; www.bentleys.org).
The person I rely on for personal grooming and wellbeing is my homeopathic facialist Dr Tatyana Telnikoff who topically applies and injects homeopathic medicines to the skin and also does facial acupuncture. Her treatments really work so I see her once a month. 07947-073 148; www.health-alternative.com.
In my fridge you'll always find eggs, soya milk, blueberries, avocado, smoked salmon and vodka. The latter has to be Russian, but I'm not faithful to one brand. We eat a lot of Slovenian food such as rabbit in hunter's sauce and apple strudel, but I buy the ingredients on the day.
The site that inspires me is the Bauer Hotel in Venice. It has a Gothic-Byzantine façade and a wing built in the 1930s, but the back of the building is modern; the mix inspires me. S Marco 1459, Venice (+39041-520 7022; www.bauervenezia.com).
An item I would never part with is my Alexander McQueen Marie Antoinette-style lace wedding dress. I never intended to wear white but I saw it at a McQueen sample sale and just had to have it.
An unforgettable place I've travelled to in the past year is the Vallée Blanche in Chamonix. This off-piste ski route is 20km long and you have to go with a guide because it is so steep; at one point we had to climb with skis on our backs, clinging onto an entrenched rope. I grew up skiing in Slovenia, but this was the most James Bond-style skiing I have ever experienced. I didn't know what I was getting myself into but I loved it.
The last music I downloaded was SBTRKT's Higher from the album Wonder Where We Land, which is a real mish-mash of electronic genres from house and hip-hop to jungle and soul. It's really interesting and the lyrics are off the wall. Designing is very solitary so I listen to a lot of music.
The one artist whose work I would collect if I could is Naum Gabo, a Russian-born artist I discovered 20 years ago while studying art history in Ljubljana. He used mixed materials like metal and Perspex and his work seems contemporary, even though it's about 100 years old.
My favourite websites are Dezeen, which covers innovations in architecture design and graphics and offers the only newsletter I subscribe to; SoundCloud for finding new music and bands; and Vice, which is one of the few news feeds I read, as I like to live in a bubble and don't watch television. It has very independent views. www.dezeen.com. www.soundcloud.com. www.vice.com.
As told to Beatrice Aidin

A CONTROVERSIAL GOAL by Frank Lampard and a key mistake by Seattle lifted New York City FC to a 2-0 Major League Soccer victory over the Sounders on Saturday in Seattle.
Former England and Chelsea midfielder Lampard scored in the 38th minute. A corner kick by New York's Andrea Pirlo was cleared away from the goalmouth but not from the area and RJ Allen sent it back.
Lampard, inside the six-yard box, chested the ball to the ground and into the net — but Sounders keeper Stefan Frei immediately protested and video replay showed the ball bounced off Lampard's left hand.
After extended discussion, the goal stood to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.
"Yeah, it wasn't the most beautiful goal. It came off my chest," Lampard said.
Sounders coach Sigi Schmid, however, said in his view it was a "handball goal".
"But that's just the way it's been going," Schmid said. "We've got to find a way to find our own luck, and we've got to find a way to pull ourselves up."Source: Seattle Sounders FC/YouTube
Ronald Matarrita capitalized on Frei's error in the 86th to double the score, lofting a pass from Mikey Lopez past Frei who had come out to challenge David Villa.
New York City FC notched their fourth away win of the season. They took sole possession of second place, just two points behind Eastern Conference leading Philadelphia.
The Sounders, meanwhile, have lost five of their last six matches and are languishing near the bottom of the Western Conference.
The Sounders were playing without standout Clint Dempsey, who remained with the USA for the Copa American third-place playoff against Colombia.

A few weeks ago I was out doing some karaoke with some friends and sang "And When I Die" by BS&T. It's a great song… but it got me to thinking. The poor guy in that song is really lost, and it's such a shame because God has shown us so much about Himself and wants to grant us His beautiful grace and an eternal relationship with Him. So, I decided to teach on this more or less and as I'm going through it, I thought I'd reflect on some things in preparation for my teaching.
I'm not scared of dying,
And I don't really care.
If it's peace you find in dying,
Well then let the time be near.
Really, you don't really care? Perhaps people have gotten to the point where they really don't care about dying and they've been numbed to the significance of it. The irony in this is that, without Christ, you're already dead, dog:
Ephesians 2:1-3 – And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
Maybe it does make sense. After all, we are born into death in this universe. Ever since Adam and Eve decided they wanted to be their own gods, they experienced death… i.e., what we would call spiritual death but what is to God real death… alienation from Him. As a result we're just slaves of our selfish desires carrying on according to the course of this world which is authored and led by Satan. What a sad state. I think BS&T sense this in the next verse of their song:
Now troubles are many, they're as deep as a well.
I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.
Swear there ain't no heaven and I pray there ain't no hell,
But I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell.
There sure are troubles in this world. But we can't figure anything out about eternity until we die? Is that true? How tragic would that be if it were true? But the fact is we can know, and it's pretty straightforward too. God is a personal God who invented communication and has communicated clearly with us by coming here Himself and explaining it all in His Word:
Eph 2:4-9 – But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, [5] even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), [6] and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, [7] so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. [8] For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; [9] not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Look at that! God loved us so much that he came and did what we could not do for ourselves.
He reconciled us (restored unity by removing root cause of alienation, our sin by dying the death we deserve). I like the way Chuck Smith puts it in his "Why Grace Changes Everything" book:
First, all of your sins have been taken care of, washed, and forgiven because of your faith in Jesus Christ. Second, God looks at you as righteous because of your believing in Jesus Christ. Apart from what you are doing or not doing, apart from keeping any code of ethics, God is imputing righteousness to your account because you believe upon Jesus Christ.
It means that God has granted us a standing before Him just as if we had never sinned.
He raised us up from our spiritual death state to be with Him now and forever in eternity, including a seat of rulership in His eternal kingdom.
And probably the underlying current is that He restored a relationship with us, something that was lost in the garden and has now been reestablished. A real relationship where we experience the grace, peace, provision, and leadership of the God of the universe as was always intended. And all of this simply comes by trusting in Him.
That's tripped out. It means we are a "new creation". What a blessing to now come into this relationship which isn't about "salvation insurance" as I used to think of it when I first got saved. But it's a new life of love that means real impact in others life and most importantly being part of building God's kingdom.
This is so clear and explicit in Scripture, how is it that we ever lose sight of this? I do though, and I'm so glad we have the Word to remind us when we turn to it. Otherwise I get caught up in basing my relationship with Christ on how I feel , or my circumstances, or the arbitrary sorts of self-righteous standards that I make up to make me think I'm doing good… never experiencing the flip side of grace: peace.
None of my efforts or self-derived perspectives is worth anything in a relationship with God. He's done everything we need to relate to Him… why should we try and add anything else? Isn't what He has done good enough?
What truly is cool is that we now can experience true freedom:
Eph 2:10 – For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (NLT)
A relationship with God where we now can choose to trust Him, grow in Him and love others. Before, all we could choose was either to be enslaved to our selfish selves and follow the course of this world or to choose to enter into a relationship with Christ. Now after doing that, freedom is wide open to us. It's too bad that what BS&T seem to desire so badly at the end of their song:
Give me my freedom for as long as I be.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me,
And all I ask of dying is to go naturally.
is not freedom at all. But what real freedom is, is open to all when we trust Jesus for it.

As I AM making my way out of the cave and off of the mountaintop
AGAIN, I face a New Day New Life
and this NOW time article
Soulful Heart Love 😇
By Jelelle Awen
The void space….the space 'left behind' when your soul wakes up inside of your 3D life and your consciousness shifts into fourth dimensional (4D) and you make choices to align with your soul frequency. I feel 4D as a consciousness phase of much sorting through, learning and re-education about the 'real' world from the one you've been taught. It is a phase of seeing the false matrix and understanding WHY it has been chosen and feeling its impact on your reality. 4D waters your 'rebel' and the void is what happens as you push away from 3D. The void is the space that happens when you let go of something you don't want to let in what you do but the something new hasn't come yet. In this void, you are no longer your 3D version of who you used to be and yet you are not…

Nurse Practitioner Resume Questions
Begin by looking at a nurse practitioner resume sample and using our resume builder, which has a step-by-step guide to help you with format and information. Choose a functional template that focuses on your accomplishments over previous work experience. Create a winning professional summary that details your biggest academic or volunteer achievement and your most relevant skills. For example, if you are bilingual, this is an excellent place to say so. When listing education, ensure you include accomplishments such as being on the Dean's List or holding a leadership position in an organization or club that related to your field. Use your experience section to detail any internships or volunteer work you've done in the field.
A great nurse practitioner resume avoids being ordinary. Like the nurse practitioner resume sample, an excellent resume must start with a strong professional summary that shows off accomplishments and hard and soft skill sets. Be specific in the skills and qualifications section and place the most important traits at the top of the list. Focus on quantifiable achievements that show how a company benefitted from hiring you when creating the work experience section. Include relevant academic achievements or organizations in the education section. Finally, ensure the contact information is correct and professional.
Consider both hard and soft skill sets when creating the list of skills for your resume. Like the nurse practitioner resume sample, list important medical and technical knowledge, such as familiarity with specific medical software or equipment, at the top of the section. Order your skills with the most important ones at the top. End with some soft skills that show you are not only a team player but also a kind and compassionate person who understands how to communicate with patients effectively.
Every nurse practitioner resume should include five sections: contact information in the header, a professional summary, a list of skills and qualifications, work experience, and education. The information in the work experience sections should be relevant to the industry and listed in reverse chronological order. Some resumes include a section for hobbies and interests. Only add this section if you have hobbies that directly relate to nursing and add value to your resume. Look to the nurse practitioner resume sample for an easy-to-understand guide.
Paid work experience, relevant internships, and nursing-related volunteer work are all acceptable listings for the experience section of your resume. Avoid listing unrelated jobs, such as ones you held in college or high school. Start each listing by providing the name of the company or organization you worked for, the title you held, the company's location, and the dates you worked there. Include a bullet list for each one that details what you did for the company. Don't forget to include quantifiable information and start each bullet with a strong action word, as you can see in the nurse practitioner resume sample.
15 Tips to Write Your Nurse Practitioner Resume
Summary Statement
1. This nurse practitioner resume template for Word demonstrates that your summary should be brief. There is no need to make yours longer than three lines.
2. Do not include your objectives in your summary. This used to be expected, but it is not anymore. Instead, you should list details about your skills, education, and experiences.
3. Write your summary statement in first person, but do not include any pronouns. This means your summary will include sentence fragments.
4. It is a good idea to mention how long you have been working in this field in your summary. Experience is the most important attribute, so you should hint at it immediately.
Skills Section
5. Your skills section should only include attributes that relate directly to the job you are applying for. Use keywords found in the job description to guide you.
6. This section should be relatively short, including between four and eight bullet points.
7. This nurse practitioner resume template for Word shows that the bullets in this section should be short phrases without periods.
Work Experience Section
8. The work experience section is the most important, so it should be the longest and include the strongest information about the responsibilities you have held.
9. Begin each line with a well-chosen action verb to catch the employer's attention.
10. This section should be in past tense. Only positions you are currently in should be described in present tense.
11. Each job in this section should have about five to eight bullet points to describe it. You can vary from this number depending on how important a specific position is to your qualifications.
12. You should include specific metrics whenever possible. This strengthens your resume and makes your abilities more obvious. The nurse practitioner resume template for Word gives some examples.
Education Section
13. The education section is typically the shortest section. You do not need to include many more details than the school name, degree type, and date of graduation.
14. Including internships and certifications out of school is also acceptable.
15. Do not mention your high school education unless it is requested.
It is not easy to make a resume that will catch the attention of employers. Hiring managers may read dozens of resumes each day, so it really takes a lot to impress them. Following the guidelines set out in this nurse practitioner resume template for Word will go a long way toward this goal. Continue to dedicate the effort to polish your resume until you are certain it will represent you as clearly and effectively as possible.

Gallery Tour with John Reuter
March 3, 2019 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pmFree
Join artist John Reuter as he takes you on a personalized Gallery Tour on the closing day of his show "Shadows and Traces: The Photography of John Reuter."
This event is free to Griffin Museum members, and is included in the cost of museum entry on the day for non-members.
John Reuter was born in Chicago and raised in California and New York. He attended undergraduate school at SUNY Geneseo and graduate school at the University of Iowa, receiving an MFA in 1978. By the end of 1978 he had taken a position at Polaroid as a research photographer and in 1980 moved over to be the main photographer in the 20×24 Studio. From 1980 and through the 1990s the 20×24 program became the cornerstone of the Polaroid Artist Support Program. The New York studio was a key part of that program and Reuter worked with artists William Wegman, Joyce Tenneson, Chuck Close, Mary Ellen Mark, David Levinthal, Robert Rauschenberg, Ellen Carey and many others.
Throughout those years Reuter strove to continue his own artistic pursuits despite the full time schedule of the studio. The SX-70 work, which deconstructed the film packet to introduce painted and collage elements was the first major body of work he created with Polaroid materials. Rendered obsolete by technical changes to the SX-70 film this work remains a favorite of the artist. Seeking a new format Reuter began working with Polacolor II peel-apart film in 1981 to create images with the "image transfer process". This process allowed the dyes from the film negative to be printed on watercolor paper in lieu of the shiny and sharp Polacolor positive. This became a starting point for a reworking process that enhanced or transformed the image with materials such as retouching dyes, watercolor, pastel and dry pigment. Scale could now be part of the process as Reuter employed 8×10, 20×24 and multiple 20×24 panels to create works up to 40×50 inches.
By the late 90s Reuter began the transition to digital imaging and no longer made the final prints with Polaroid materials. He continued to run the 20×24 camera for other artists as it remained part of the soon to be bankrupt Polaroid Corporation. By 2008 he was able to work with Elsa Dorfman and her investor friend Dan Stern to purchase a significant amount of the 20×24 film inventory, camera and production equipment. The camera and original Polaroid film remain viable and are still available for artists and photographers to use.
In 2014 Reuter embarked on a documentary film project titled "Camera Ready: The Polaroid 20×24 Project. It chronicles the origins and history of the project with interviews with artists, writers, curators and some key people at Polaroid who made it possible to survive beyond the demise of the company itself.
Reuter remains the Director of the 20×24 Studio and is also an adjunct professor of photography at the Hartford Art School.

"unlucky" in love?
NOTE: This post is NOT by Maioush
I used to think I was "unlucky" in love.One man after another broke my heart, no matter how promising the "relationship" was at the beginning.I had so little self-esteem I was practically INVITING men to come into my life who had no intention of making me happy forever. And yet, time after time, I missed all the signals. And then, after years and years of horrible, dead-end, non-committed, always ending painfully non-relationships and getting my heart broken over and over, I finally found the man who became my husband. And I was so happy – for a way too short time.
Before I knew it, the nightmare had started all over again – distance grew between us, he became emotionally cold, I felt disconnected and lonely.
It had never occurred to me that marriage wasn't the automatic end of the fairy tale, and that from here on out, everything would be bliss.
It never occurred to me that for the next five years I'd go to bed every night and wake up every morning desperate for love advice that would work to save my marriage.
I looked for help from my girlfriends, went to a counselor, had late night discussions and arguments with my husband, cried through the middle of many nights, read every love advice book I could find, and used up every bit of love advice I'd ever heard.
And still I felt lonely, disconnected from my husband, angry and in pain.
It was as though I'd learned nothing from those years of dating Mr. Wrongs.
But then it all changed.
Somehow, I figured out what had gone wrong, and I was able to set it right within weeks.
On the next posts, you'll find out more about me and how I was able to save my own love life, and learn how to do what it took me years and years of trial-and-error to figure out.
I had no love advice then that worked, and even now, most of the love advice I see and read out there has to do with games and strategies.
And games and strategies NEVER work with men.
Ever since I turned my love life, and then my marriage, around, now I want it to be my mission to help other women (especially the ones I've been reading for recently) feel better, stronger, happier, and in the kind of relationship and marriage we all dream about – and DESERVE.
I'll tell you how to ignore the whole idea of games and strategies and how to get your man, bring him close and make him want to stay forever by simply being yourself.
As easy as that sounds, being yourself is exactly what we were all taught NOT to do our whole lives.
Don't give up.
If I found a way to get from total misery with a non-existent love life to total married bliss – then YOU can, too.I'll keep you guys posted to prove to all of you that you can do it :) .

Dramatic images of seabirds, entangled in netting or with their stomach cut open to reveal ingested plastic, generate stark headlines from news outlets and on social media, and tug at our heartstrings. Yet, with 4.8–12.7 million metric tonnes of plastic estimated to enter our oceans every year (Jambeck et al. 2015) it is hardly surprising that seabirds have to contend with the potential problems. Marine debris, much of it plastic, has affected 56% of all seabird species through entanglement – either at sea or at the nest – or ingestion (Gall & Thompson 2015). Lost or discarded fishing gear, along with other filamentous plastics, can entangle seabirds at sea or, where collected for nesting material, on the breeding grounds. These and other post-consumer items, everything from a lost flip-flop to a carelessly discarded plastic bottle, break down into smaller fragments that along with nurdles, the raw plastic material transported for manufacturing, can be ingested by seabirds, either incidentally or because they resemble food. In addition, microplastics have been documented in many species of fish, crustaceans and bivalves, which may be eaten by seabirds (as well as other top predators, including humans) resulting in secondary ingestion of plastic, and the potential accumulation of any contaminants associated with marine plastic.
Despite these figures and the media headlines, we still do not have a particularly good understanding of how plastic affects individuals or, more importantly, populations of seabirds. For most species in the northeast Atlantic, the lack of research means that we do not know to what extent individuals are ingesting plastic or incorporating it into their nest. Even for those species on which research has been carried out, sample sizes are generally small and most studies have collected data from single locations and years, making it difficult to establish patterns over time and space, or among species (O'Hanlon et al. 2017).
One exception is the Fulmar Fulmarus glacialis. Fulmars are particularly susceptible to ingesting marine plastic, which they pick up from the sea surface along with their usual prey items of squid, fish and carrion. Tideline corpses of Fulmars have been collected along North Sea coasts to monitor levels of ingested plastic since the 1970s – emphasising that this is not just a recent issue. Originating in the Netherlands, the North Sea Northern Fulmar project has since been joined by other countries, with beached birds collected from Shetland, Orkney, eastern England and the English Channel, as well as farther afield from Svalbard, the Faroes and Iceland. This successful collaboration has resulted in the Fulmar being the OSPAR Ecological Quality Objective indicator species for monitoring plastic debris in the North Sea (van Franeker et al. 2011) [The Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-east Atlantic (the 'OSPAR Convention') was developed from the 1972 Oslo Convention on dumping waste at sea and the 1974 Paris Convention on land-based sources of marine pollution. See www.ospar.org]. In the latest OSPAR report, covering 2010–14, 93% of 525 Fulmars collected contained plastic in their stomach; 58% of these stomachs contained more than 0.1 g of plastic, with the highest amounts found in Fulmars collected around the English Channel. The long-term goal under OSPAR is to reduce the number of Fulmars with more than 0.1 g of plastic in their stomach to less than 10%. We still have a long way to go.
Our understanding of how plastic is incorporated into the nests of seabirds is even more limited. There are plenty of photographs and anecdotal records but very few published, quantitative studies. The extent of plastic incorporated into the nests of Northern Gannets Morus bassanus on Grassholm, Pembrokeshire, is huge; there is an estimated 18.46 tonnes of plastic within the colony, incorporated into over 80% of nests. Most of that plastic is the threads of fishing nets, picked up by the adults presumably because of its resemblance to seaweed and other vegetation they use for nest construction. Each year the RSPB visits the island in autumn to cut free Gannets entangled in their nests. Sadly, around 65 entangled individuals still die each year across the colony, the majority of these being young birds that fail to fledge. With over 78,500 breeding individuals on Grassholm, it is unlikely that this level of mortality is a significant brake on this expanding population (Votier et al. 2011), but it clearly has welfare implications. And Grassholm is not unique. Similar scenes of blue, green and orange fishing rope entwined into Gannet nests can be seen at Bempton Cliffs in Yorkshire, at Helgoland in Germany, at colonies in Scotland, Norway and Iceland, and many others. It is not just Gannets that are affected, and other seabirds, such as Common Guillemots Uria aalge, which often nest in close proximity to Gannets, can become entangled in the lengths of plastic that hang down.
Establishing the overall impact of marine plastic on seabirds is difficult. We can see the direct impact of plastic on individuals where entanglement results in injury or death. It is much less straightforward with ingestion because it is difficult to establish ingested plastic as the cause of death unless it has blocked the digestive track or caused obvious lesions. For most of the seabirds inhabiting any given colony it is impossible to know the extent to which individuals have ingested plastic. Then there is the uncertainty of how contaminants present within the plastic, or adsorbed to it, may negatively affect seabirds at the cellular or sub-organism level. Measuring indirect, sub-lethal effects is even more challenging. Yet we need to understand all these potential effects to make an accurate assessment of the impact of plastic on seabirds at the population level. At present, there is no evidence that plastic is having a negative effect on seabird populations, or is involved in the dramatic declines of many seabirds – but given that research into the impact of marine plastics on seabirds is so limited, it is difficult to draw informed conclusions.
Unless we do something about it, the amount of plastic entering our oceans is projected to rise by an order of magnitude by 2025 (Jambeck et al. 2015). By 2050, given the seemingly global demand for plastic products, it is predicted that 99% of seabird species, and 95% of individuals, will have ingested plastic (Wilcox et al. 2015). If nothing else, these gloomy statistics should encourage us to be cautious about underestimating the impact of marine plastic on seabirds, and other marine life: lack of evidence does not equate to lack of impact, even at the population level. Seabirds are long-lived and slow-reproducing so populations are particularly sensitive to declines in adult survival. Where plastic ingestion or entanglement results in adult mortality, this may contribute differentially to the declines of species that are already vulnerable to other threats, or reduce the recovery rate of species where conservation actions are put in place. Some people are concerned that the current focus on plastic pollution may divert attention away from better-known factors behind declining seabird populations, such as climate change, bycatch and invasive species. Surely it is more likely that the current focus on plastic pollution can help to draw attention to these other threats as well?
I have focused on seabirds in this article since much of the recent attention regarding plastic pollution has focused on the marine environment. However, this is not just a marine issue. There are many examples in freshwater and terrestrial environments of ingestion and entanglement of birds with plastic. The increase of terrestrial plastic debris, particularly in farmland habitats, has resulted in several raptors (including Black Kite Milvus migrans, Long-legged Buzzard Buteo rufinus and Osprey Pandion haliaetus) and passerines (including American Crow Corvus brachyrhynchos, bowerbirds (Ptilonorhynchidae), Great Grey Lanius excubitor and Loggerhead Shrikes L. ludovicianus) incorporating plastic into their nests, resulting in some cases to the injury and death of nestlings.
Compared with many other environmental threats, plastic pollution is one where we as individuals we can actually make a difference. As consumers, we can actively reduce our use of plastic, especially single-use items, and put pressure on organisations to do the same. It is encouraging to see the recent voluntary actions by several restaurant chains to phase out the use of plastic straws, and of many conservation/environmental organisations, including BB, that have switched to non-plastic alternatives for sending out publications. We can also take part in beach clean ups and lobby for better policies regarding plastic recycling/disposal. And this is the time to do it! Companies and governments are listening and many of them realise that they need to act. England and Scotland have vowed to ban single-use plastic, as well as to introduce polices such as the plastic bottle deposit scheme. But it is up to us as individuals, as well as communities and nations, to actively reduce our use of plastic, and make a difference. By making better and more informed choices in our consumerism and acting together we can elevate this issue and campaign for reform.
