Los Angeles, Calif. – (August 25, 2017) – Global adult entertainment innovator Wicked Pictures today unveiled promotional art for 'An Inconvenient Mistress,' the upcoming blockbuster release from veteran director Brad Armstrong and three-time AVN Best Actress Jessica drake. Co-starring Ryan Driller, Armstrong's latest feature takes aim at the kind of complicated financial schemes that have led to the nation's economic collapse in the past. The script's timely and dramatic events are explored on a human scale, a tactic previously employed by the filmmaker and star on such hit collaborations as 'Aftermath' and 'DNA.' 'An Inconvenient Mistress' is slated to arrive in stores September 27, 2017.
"It has a very involved script with a lot going on, and it is all played very realistically," the writer/director says of his latest production. "It reminds me a bit of Aftermath, which also featured Jessica & Ryan. It could almost be a 'prequel.' But although the movie is very much a Jessica & Ryan vehicle, an incredibly talented supporting cast creates the framework for them to shine even brighter."
As Armstrong's saga begins, Ava (Drake) is involved with ambitious – and married – businessman Ryan. Their relationship is one of convenience; they meet up to explore sex clubs and indulge their fantasies. When Ryan wants to play, he simply tells his wife Catherine that he needs to work late. She suspects something may be going on, but isn't entirely convinced. William, Ryan's boss, is excited about an upcoming merger which will allow them to buy stocks at a historic low and profit astronomically. But Ryan soon learns that his affair is on the verge of being exposed, as are his firm's unscrupulous business dealings.
Fearful that Ava could be acting on insider information, Ryan confronts his mistress. Ava insists she knows nothing about the stock market and hasn't mentioned the upcoming merger to anyone. But the Security & Exchange Commission has received a tip on possible insider trading at William's company and has tied Ryan to Ava. With the S.E.C. closing in and Catherine learning of both the affair and the firm's duplicity, Ryan and William find themselves outmatched by Ava at every turn.
"Playing Ava in An Inconvenient Mistress was a creative experience," Drake says of her latest collaboration with Armstrong. "She is very human, and I integrated some of my own unique characteristics into the part, but there was no imitating of a movie or TV show or costuming to rely upon. I'm grateful Ryan Driller is such a talented actor and an all around amazing performer. He gave so much depth and substance to his character, and as a team, I feel we have a chemistry that viewers will really appreciate."
For her part, Drake is quick to point out that expressive acting and thoughtful characterizations are what set Wicked's output apart from the competition. "Acting in adult films is something that largely goes unappreciated, but being contracted to Wicked Pictures allows me the ability to express myself sexually through my movies while simultaneously taking on other roles and characters. In the midst of the never ending sea of simple scenes online, viewers are once again gravitating to porn of a higher quality, with storylines and plot pertinent sex." Drake and Driller's co-stars include Armstrong, Bridgette B, Cali Carter, Ember Snow, Summer Brielle, Honey Gold, India Summer, Morgan Lee, Eric Masterson, Isiah Maxwell, Michael Vegas, and Seth Gamble.
Temptation, desire and a touch of the taboo are explored by Drake in this sexually-charged feature. "Since I only shoot a limited number of movies in a year, I concentrate on projects I really want to do and use them as vehicles to showcase my sexuality, " she reveals. "I do DPs in this movie, an orgy, a four way, and sex in public places. At the helm of this project is the multi-talented Brad Armstrong, as the writer, director, art director, set designer, and stylist. With his incredible, action-packed script coupled with his perfect casting and on set direction, this movie is going to be a guaranteed hit. I love that Wicked Pictures continues to be the leader in high-quality adult movies."
Both shot and edited in widescreen 16×9 HD, this new Wicked Pictures DVD will be packed with additional content, including three bonus sex scenes, behind-the-scenes coverage, a hot hardcore still gallery and other added-value items exclusive to the physical release.

A Time For Choosing
As we are fed today's 24/7 news, most of us don't realize that the media are intentionally serving us mind-numbing messaging meant to generate a purposeful outcome: to create angry puppets incited to regurgitate every morsel. Fiction becomes fact—especially the louder one shouts.
Have no doubt. The forces of evil are waging a coup, aided by the media, bureaucrats, academia, Hollywood, and even some churches. And these forces, unfortunately, take full advantage of the very system they are pledged to destroy.
In the November midterm elections—just weeks from now—that evil, under the banner of the Democratic (Communist) Party, will again challenge the foundations our great Republic.
Barack Hussein Obama succeeded in "fundamentally changing America" during his terms in office. He resurrected, and even celebrated, the division of the races after decades of assimilation and reconciliation. He succeeded in blurring the intrinsic differences between men and women, and subverting the sacred institution of marriage. He fabricated the Leftist prime emotion of envy where none was warranted. He encouraged violence both on campus and in the streets of our major cities. In 2016 Obama poised for his final assault, expecting his surrogate, Hillary Clinton, to de facto serve out his third term as President—he would provide the "invisible hand", with the aim of finishing off our Republic.
But, We The People—and Donald Trump—threw down our own gauntlet in November 2016 and bought America, and the world, a reprieve that has produced near-miraculous reversals. (This, notwithstanding, a hate- and psychosis-driven Left Resistance pulling out all the—for now, non-lethal—stops in opposition.) The Trump Movement to Make America Great Again (#MAGA) is just in its infancy but can be killed in the cradle if the Left gains control of the US Congress in November.
A large measure of the Trump electoral victory was won by an increase in Vets in the Fight® and their families turning out at the polls. The midterms must see an even greater number of veterans vote in order to sustain the Republic's recovery.
Two paths, two outcomes
There are two very distinct paths open to us in five short weeks.
One path leads to rapid improvement in the American instruments of strategic national power, i.e., diplomacy, information, military and economy (DIME). For several years, Special Operations Speaks tracked the Obama assault on these instruments of power, an assault intended to strengthen both competitors and military adversaries of the US as retribution for manufactured offenses by our nation since our inception. Our analyses demonstrated the effects of the Left's efforts to erase American exceptionalism, the one thing standing in the way of Leftist world domination.
Ronald Reagan said, "Ours is a time for choosing." Our choices will decide whether we (1) continue on the path to #MAGA, erasing the malevolent governance of Barack Hussein Obama, or (2) commit to the "socialist = communist" path that the Left has publicly embraced since the day they booed God (three times) in Charlotte, NC, at the Democrat Party Presidential Convention in 2012.
Drawing from Dennis Prager's highly acclaimed book, Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph, we'll divide our voting choices for the 2018 midterm elections into a path to Americanism and a path to Leftism.
The graphic below reflects some of the many outcomes along the horizontal axis on the Path to Americanism and on the vertical axis on the Path to Leftism.
Americanism consists in three key ideas and governing principles in place since the Declaration of Independence.
- Liberty
- In God We Trust
- From Many One (e pluribus unum)
These latter two, unique to our nation, are central to our American Exceptionalism.
America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, indispensable moral values that guide our conduct as American citizens and as a nation. Liberty, and the Bill of Rights that animate that condition, are granted to every person, whether Democrats believe it or not. With that Liberty comes moral responsibility—and the responsibility to make judgements based on those norms. Barack Hussein Obama gleefully proclaimed America no longer a Judeo-Christian nation. He thought that pronouncement gave him free reign to bury that founding legacy. We the People, and Donald Trump, scuttled that notion in November 2016.
Americanism is the path we must choose in this time of existential peril for our nation.
Leftismpractices a secular (atheistic) religion rooted in the ideology of Marx and Stalin, believing that man is a product of the State, subject to and beholden to the State. Man is a commodity to be expended. Leftism has proven to be the most deadly political program in the history of the world. Well over 100 million humans have been liquidated as a direct result of Nazism, Communism, Maoism, Pol Pot, North Vietnam, and others.
In the Religion of Leftism there is no higher entity than the State, per force Leftism ultimately requires atheism of its adherents. The State is the arbiter of morality, expressed as policy. There is no good and no evil, only compliance or rejection of policy, with the weight of the State landing squarely on the latter. As with morality, rights are virtually condemned, as these emanate from a Creator. Leftism thrives on the mother's milk of victimhood. Where it cannot find victims, it creates and nurtures victimhood. Of late, it has taken to importing enough illegal aliens to overwhelm a system that is geared to assimilating and creating winners of its participants. Winners reject Leftism, losers (victims) embrace it.
At this writing, we are watching Leftism in action by the Democrats in the Senate hearings on Judge Brett Kavanaugh, and in their effort to destroy the rule of law.
Call to Action
"Always reinforce success, never reinforce failure." This old Infantry rule is very applicable today. Voting for Americanism, and against the Democrats (Leftists), reinforces success on the battlefield of ideas.
American Vets in the Fight®, their families, and their supporters acted in November 2016 to elect President Donald Trump and his vision to Make America Great Again. Success in the past two years has been enormous. This administration has cut taxes and regulations, destroyed ISIS, given us the highest employment rate, increased citizen confidence to its highest level in decades, and corrected trade inequalities. Your IRAs and 401k accounts have soared since November 2016, with more to come.

For new real estate development, renovation of existing residential areas, solving the problem of the lack of parking space in the historic part of cities, the "Parkingi Megapolisa" offers mechanized car parks. They can be designed and built as separate buildings, and be built into above-ground buildings and underground parking.
The use of automated car parks provides more efficient use of the land (on equal-sized lots automated car parks provide several times more parking spaces than the classic parking). The released territory can be used for housing construction or social and commercial facilities.
The use of mechanized and automated car parks is a steady global trend. The opinion that such car parks are expensive, these days are wrong. There is lack of free land plots in our cities, and the number of cars is constantly increasing. A car boom that happened in Russia at the end of the 20th century will steadily lead to a parking collapse in the 21st century.
There is a number of technical solutions for the arrangement of such car parks. They can be tower, cassette or mixed type, with the use of pallets and without them, using elevator type hoists or hoisting cranes, etc. Therefore, they differ significantly from each other in cost, energy consumption, time of issuance of vehicles and other characteristics.
Our company independently and in cooperation with leading European and Asian companies, carries out the design, supply, installation and maintenance of mechanized (automated) car parks. A part of such modern production is located abroad (South Korea, Germany, etc.) and we are ready to organize a study tour to these plants and negotiations with reliable suppliers. In Russia automated car parks are also produced. And only experts will help you to choose what mechanized (automated) car park will be the best for a given territory or building. The experts will thoroughly explain all the advantages and disadvantages of equipment, helping to count the profitability of the project.

Reports are emerging from investigators probing the killing of four men from St Elizabeth, whose bodies were found buried in shallow graves in a riverbed in Pennants, Clarendon on Friday, that the deceased men were involved in the drug trade.
The deceased are blood relatives Kevon and Clinton Hutchinson of Santa Cruz, and Shawn Thompson and Alwin Griffiths, both of Schoolfield near Malvern.
Indications are that one of the four men has been definitely identified as having been involved in the guns for drugs trade with Haiti, and the others were believed to be part of a criminal enterprise along the same line of operation.
In fact, it has been reported that one of the four men actually told his spouse that he may not return from the trip that they made earlier this month.
As fate would have it, they went missing and were reported as such on April 15 and 16, and the car they had driven was found in the Foga Road area of Four Paths, Clarendon over a week ago, with the key in the ignition and the doors open.
On Friday, the stark realities hit home when their partially decomposed bodies were fished from shallow graves in the murky waters on the banks of the Thomas River in Pennants, Clarendon.
Investigators believe the men were killed elsewhere after being lured to a destination, then buried in Pennants.
No spent shells were discovered near the scene of the burial, which strengthened the theory that the men were killed elsewhere. As a result, the police have been combing the surroundings near the burial site to establish if any other bodies are there on account of the area being generally used as a site to conceal murderous activities.

Project Description
DELTA (Developing Long Term Adaptation) Tools for the Mekong Delta
Donor / Partner: World Bank | Duration: 2014-2015 | Location: Mekong Delta – Vietnam
The extent to which these basin-wide changes impact the delta system remains a function of the cumulative effect of each of these parameters and their complex interactions. This means Delta planners and decisions makers need to continue making important strategic decisions on the future direction and nature of development in the delta amidst an uncertain future which largely lies outside their control. At present no tools or frameworks exist which allow delta planners to systematically assess the resilience of their investment decisions against the breadth of potential change.
The project, also known as DELTA (Developing Long Term Adaptation) Tools for the Mekong Delta involves the development of a Decision Support Framework (DSF) which provides an evidence-based process for integrated regional investment decisions in agriculture, water resource and transport development in the Mekong Delta.
DELTA Tools combine Mekong Basin future simulations of hydrological regimes for the Mekong Delta based on four key drivers of change; climate, hydropower development, land use change and sea level rise to determine the threats to the delta from key issues such as flood depth, extent and duration, saline intrusion and erosion. These geophysical changes are then overlaid onto the socio-economic projections for the delta to determine delta metrics; risks to rice production, agriculture and aquaculture as well as impacts on infrastructure and natural systems. These metrics provide the basis in which proposed investment decisions and scenarios from the Mekong Delta Plan can be assessed for their adaptability and resilience to future climate projections.
ICEM provides the key technical inputs at all stages of DELTA Tools development combining their high level GIS and spatial expertise as well as cutting-edge tools development with their extensive experience working in the Mekong Delta region.
In addition, the project will provide an opportunity for government stakeholders at national and provincial levels to test the principles of the newly drafted Mekong Delta Plan (MDP) and start to shape these principles into a shared guiding vision for Delta development.

ACROSS MISSISSIPPI — Seniors who live in Mississippi are the nation's unhealthiest, according to the inaugural edition of United Health Foundation's America's Health Rankings Senior Report: A Call to Action for Individuals and Their Communities.
United Health Foundation commissioned the America's Health Rankings Senior Report to examine the health of today's seniors and to encourage the nation, local communities and families to take action to improve senior health.
This report builds on the annual America's Health Rankings report which, for 23 years, has offered an analysis of national health on a state-by-state basis by evaluating a historical and comprehensive set of health, environmental and socioeconomic data to determine national health benchmarks and state rankings.
Minnesota, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Iowa are the top five states for seniors' health. Mississippi ranks 50th, preceded by Oklahoma, Louisiana, West Virginia, and Arkansas.
Mississippi's challenges include a high percentage of seniors who live in poverty and are at risk of hunger, a high rate of premature death as well as a low percentage of seniors who report very good or excellent health and a low rate of annual dental visits. Mississippi scored well for a low prevalence of chronic drinking and a high rate of flu vaccination. Mississippi's senior population is expected to grow more than 45 percent between 2015 and 2030.
The percentage by state of seniors living at or below the poverty line ranges from a low of about 5 percent in Alaska and just over 6 percent in Utah, New Hampshire and Wyoming to a high of more than 12 percent in Louisiana and New Mexico and more than 13 percent in Mississippi.
… we'd like to ask for your support. More people are reading the Mississippi Business Journal than ever before, but advertising revenues for all conventional media are falling fast. Unlike many, we do not use a pay wall, because we want to continue providing Mississippi's most comprehensive business news each and every day. But that takes time, money and hard work. We do it because it is important to us … and equally important to you, if you value the flow of trustworthy news and information which have always kept America strong and free for more than 200 years.
If those who read our content will help fund it, we can continue to bring you the very best in news and information. Please consider joining us as a valued member, or if you prefer, make a one-time contribution.Click for more info

Rowan University objectifies its female athletes
Why is Rowan University choosing judgement over empowerment?
November 13, 2018
Rowan University has decided to ban the women's cross country team to run in sports bras only. They believe that the small tops are eye-catching and distracting to others around them. The Rowan University Womens Cross Country athletes believe that this is an unjust decision, and think that running in sports bras at practice should be permitted.
First and foremost, women do not run in sports bras to attract male attention. Women run in sports bras because it is hot outside and it is more comfortable to complete workouts with minimal fabric in their way. The Rowan University Womens Cross Country team, like other womens' running teams, needs to complete demanding and vigorous workouts to prepare for their meets and competitions.
Even the teammates who do not partake in shirtless runs at practices believe that the other members of the team should be allowed to run in whatever they feel comfortable. The cross country team at Rowan is not provided with a daily practice uniform. Since there is no uniform, the women on the team do not have a specified dress code to follow. Therefore, wearing sports bras only does not break any documented dress code regulations.
To make matters worse, in addition to the sports bra ban, in a meeting with the university's cross country coach and the athletic director, it was decided that the women are no longer allowed to run on the university's $4.6 million athletic practice facility which was recently renovated in 2015. The practice facility offers a place for each sport to practice. There is a dedicated practice area for each team. Both the men and women teams have their track; however, the women no longer have the privilege of using it.
The team was told that women running around in their sports bras was deemed "too distracting" to the football team that practices on the field that the track is surrounds. The university's resolution to the problem was to unfairly terminate the women's right to practice at the facility, regardless of their choice of clothing.
Rowan's female athletes are working hard day in and day out for their university, so it should not matter what they choose to wear. The discontent of these women on this team not only represent the atmosphere at the university, but also the growing irritation of the female athlete's community. We live in a time where women are allowed to embrace their bodies and not live in constant fear of being degraded and judged. In the world of professional athletics, all female elite runners are authorized to wear racing crop tops. Not only are they non-restricting, but they are a comfortable and empowering part of the running culture. So, why is Rowan University choosing judgement over empowerment?

New Delhi
The RBI will examine concerns around its strict data localisation rules that require storing of customer data exclusively in India without creating mirror sites overseas, the government said Tuesday.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in April last year asked payment firms to ensure their data are stored exclusively on local servers, setting a tight six-month deadline for compliance. That deadline was said to have been missed by some foreign firms including credit card giants Visa and Mastercard.
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Monday held extensive consultations with the tech industry and e-commerce companies, a statement by his ministry said.
"All the companies who were represented in this meeting put forth their concerns related to RBI data storage requirements and processing related guidelines issued by the RBI. Deputy Governor of RBI, BP Kanungo, assured the industry representatives that the Reserve Bank of India will look into this," it said.
The RBI in April 2018 put out a circular requiring that all "data relating to payment systems" are "stored in a system only in India" within six months.
International giants usually store data on global servers and the requirement to store data locally would require them to make an additional investment. But policymakers in India believe storing data locally would help monitor and conduct investigations if the need arises.
Mastercard CEO Ajay Banga joined the meeting via video conference, the statement said.
Besides the RBI rule, concern was also expressed at the meeting about a draft e-commerce policy that requires exclusive local storage and processing of data generated by users in India from various sources including e-commerce platforms, social media and search engines.
While domestic companies such as Reliance Jio have spoken up in support the government's data localisation efforts, others like Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, and Mastercard have led the way in opposing it. "The e-commerce industry representatives also put forth their concerns before the Commerce Minister about the e-commerce draft policy which they felt was not adequately consultative," the statement said adding Goyal assured them that each and every concern of the industry will be addressed.
He asked e-commerce representatives to send their concerns in writing within 10 days.
On a draft data protection bill released in July 2018 that proposes a requirement for data localisation as a remedy to concerns about protection of personal data, industry representatives told the Minister that though the consultations on it were satisfactory, a lot of time had elapsed and they were not sure about the final shape of the Bill.
"Secretary Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Ajay Prakash Sawhney, assured the e-commerce companies that the Bill will reflect all the consultations that had taken place with the industry during the formulation of the Bill," the statement said.

I carry within the seeds of violence
The beat of the drums that match the destruction
A delicate violence
Breathing life into a new born rage
Screaming louder than war drones
How do we save lives when all we do is kill each other?
When the soldiers hear the piano
They feel remorse and confess
They want to hear music again
But demolition continues
Building cracks, death signals, hurt, and blues
And there's falling but never landing…
Spiraling into abyss
The one and only
Does it ever end?
Is there any violence
Greater than the one we inflict on ourselves?
We carry within the grey film
the colorless lie
the beautiful illusion
of coherence and homogeneity
the horrors we've seen
the atrocious acts we're capable of
We carry within the remembrance of salvation
a kind thought, a warm word, a gentle touch
the waves of beginning
But these are silenced
like a tuneless song of despair
like in the goodbye of lovers
like in the mourning of the dead
What remains is a heart that beats violently
Like waves crashing against the cliffs of my being
I'm lost at sea, never ashore
With the seeds of violence carrying me ever further from you

Dear Diary, Food poisoning isn't fun… And it's almost inevitable. After an amazing day in Bophut Fishing Village in Koh Samui, Neil and I got the icky pains associated with food poisoning. After a night of no sleep (thank goodness our hotel had two bathrooms!!) we had to pack… It was the final morning of Koh Samui! We paid a whopping 2000 baht to get to the airport. It was a painful ride full of nausea! Once at the airport we found out, I accidentally booked for July instead of June… whoops! But they thankfully had availability and were able to get us on the flight. We had booked through Bangkok Airways and they only charge 80 baht per extra Kg. So with an extra $60 we were on our way to Phuket. The airport itself is nice, however it is an outside airport. So weird! Anyways it was a great flight and Bangkok Airways is amazing! They let us sit near the toilets and gave us lots of electrolyte packets and huge bottles of water to get us back on track. Once at Phuket Airport we called our hotel shuttle (yes I booked a shuttle with the hotel! Much easier to do!) We got ourselves checked into T-Villa for the night. (Literally, we went to bed at 4:30 PM we felt so ill!) We woke up around 8PM and tried to eat some snacks which made us feel worse! So back to bed we went until 6am. We had a 9:25 Flight from Phuket to Denpasar, Bali. It had a 3 hour layover in Singapore. The baggage situation was a lot different! They were 625 baht per Kg!!!! So after 20 minutes of unpacking and repackaged we were on our way with two very full carry-ons each… And the clerk helped us through with no extra charge for the 22kg bag being checked in, each. (Imagine recovering from food poisoning and struggling! It was harsh!) We had a layover in Singapore and it was there, when we actually ate for the first time. And it was Pizza!!
Once we were in Denpasar Bali we got to bypass the visa on arrival on account of our passports being American and British. YAY! We got through security and immigration and meet a driver from our Hotel, Alam Terrace Cottages on Jalan Bisma, Ubud. (Calling the hotel for a shuttle is the way to go!) He took us to an ATM on the way and it was a very pleasant hour and a half ride.
All in all… It was a horrible end to Thailand but a fresh start in Bali!
Next to come: Ubud!

What effect did the advent of World War II have on New Zealand's storytellers?
Poet and literary historian John Newton wants to know – and he will be spending most of next year at Waikato University finding out.
The university's writer in residence for 2014, Dr Newton will be working on two books while he is based in Hamilton. One will be a book of poems; the other will be "a fresh take" on New Zealand writing in the mid-20th century.
"I've already done some preliminary work on the history project," Dr Newton said.
"I'm conscious that the history of New Zealand writing has fallen into eclipse. I'll be exploring the impact of World War II on New Zealand literature in a way I hope non-specialist readers will enjoy reading. We still have a lot to learn from our own 'classic' literature."

Hemp seeds under consideration for consumption in Australia by food regulator
Australians may soon be able to buy hemp seeds to snack on, if a new proposal is given the thumbs-up.
Key points:
- Experts concerned seeds could return a false-positive drug test if consumed
- Hemp seeds are known to be high in amino acids, vitamins, minerals and proteins
- UK, United States, Canada and countries within Europe already approved consumption
Food regulators in Australia are considering allowing human consumption of hemp seeds low in THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) — the chemical responsible for most of marijuana's psychological effects.
The proposal is one that has been considered before, but now ministers responsible for food standards have requested for it be looked at again.
But some experts are concerned the seeds could return a false-positive drug test if consumed.
Steve McCutcheon, the chief executive officer of Food Standards, said there were varieties of seeds which contained levels of the psychoactive element of THC, "known by various names, including marijuana".
"But there are also varieties that contain no THC hemp, or very low levels, and they're commonly referred to as hemp or industrial hemp and indeed they don't have any psycho-active properties," he said.
"The level of THC in hemp varies from zero to 0.5 per cent and that's on the leaf and flowering head of the plant.
But experts have warned that more research was needed to determine if the seeds under consideration could return false-positive drug tests.
"That has been one of the concerns raised by ministers in the past and they have commissioned some work on looking at the potential for false-positive results in roadside drug testing programs," Mr McCutcheon said.
"That report won't be finalised until later this year and will be considered by ministers when they look at our proposal as well."
Dr Duane Mellor, an accredited practising dietician and spokesperson for the Dieticians Association of Australia, said other considerations would also need to be reviewed before hemp seeds reach food shelves.
"When a new food comes to the market people are a little bit more sceptical," he said.
"So they need to make sure it doesn't have an effect on growth or development in children for example.
"The way of judging that will be to look at countries where it's consumed regularly.
"Those sort of things will be done as due diligence to make sure it's a safe sensible approach to introduce into the diet."
Known health benefits to the seeds
Hemp seeds are known to be high in amino acids, vitamins, minerals and proteins.
"The flip side is we need to make sure there's nothing untoward or known consequences for consuming these."
If approved, Australia would join other countries already chomping down on hemp seeds, including the UK, the United States, Canada and countries within Europe.
Public submissions are open until August 25.

Unexpected Perks of Living by the Beach
Posted by Gloria Singer on Thursday, March 9th, 2017 at 2:08pm.
South Florida's beaches have long been one of the most sought-after spots for real estate, and with good reason. From the beautiful weather to the gorgeous views, the reasons to make your move to the shores are endless. Yet, some of the perks that come with purchasing South Florida beach homes are a bit unexpected. As it turns out, residing at the beach is good for your overall well-being.
Here are four surprising health benefits of living by the ocean:
1. The Calming Effect
The combination of the sound of the waves, the feel of the sand, the gentle breezes, and of course the sunshine produces a sense of calm that seems to wash over people from the moment they set foot on the beach. For this reason, the ocean has been known to reduce anxiety and even enhance creativity.
2. A Breath of Fresh Air
Every time you breathe in ocean air, you put your respiratory system at ease. That's because the salt from the ocean improves one's oxygen absorption. In fact, the air alone can ease stress and give way to a sounder night's sleep. Plus, you don't have to be outside to breathe better air — even the air inside your beach property is of a higher quality than that which is found inland.
3. Sweet Sunshine
The sun really does shine brighter at the beach, mostly due to its reflection off the vast water. As a result, living by the beach exposes people to more Vitamin D, which boosts the immune system, keeps bones healthy and even reduces one's risk for cancer. That said, don't skimp on sunscreen; your skin can absorb the sun's nutrients no matter how much you lather up.
4. The Ocean's Healing Powers
Swimming in the sea can do wonders for your body, too. The water is capable of healing wounds, preventing skin infections, and even improving the skin's elasticity. The ocean is also the best hair treatment there is, so skip the pricey salon appointment and make your move to a beachside home.
If you're ready to reap the health advantages of living at the beach, our experts can pair you with a property that exceeds your expectations. Call our office to start touring South Florida beach homes today!

Back to School: Top ten picks for kids haircuts in Metro Vancouver
Have the kids' locks gone feral over the summer months? Whether it's daycare, preschool or big kid school, new supplies and duds and back to school haircuts are a ritual worth establishing (or keeping). Here are a few great spots to get those messy mops cropped before the big day!
Back to School: Ten picks for kids haircuts
Mops On Bellevue
This quaint, calm and cosy West Van fave located on Ambleside specializes in kids cuts. A customer review said, "There is a calm energy to this shop which I crave since trying other chaotic and over-stimulating kids salons." It's also eco-friendly and a member of Green Circle Salons.

650-801 Marine Dr. North Vancouver, 604-929-2665
Nick's Barber Shop
This old school barber shop has nearly 50 years under its belt (or should we say razor?). Now in the capable hands of son Miri, this shop gets raves from clients. Candy for the kids and cuts are only $14 a pop.

The Hairloft
A VM reader favourite, this long-standing salon for kids offers higher end kids haircuts, as well as ear piercing and princess spa services, and makeovers. Kids can sit in a train or a car, and watch videos while the stylist works.
Granville Island inside the Kids Market
In a VM poll, Melonhead was the top pick from friends on Twitter and Facebook. They offer the classic kids haircut experience, where kids can sit in a train or a pony and watch videos while the stylists work quickly. They focus exclusively on kids haircuts, so you know that your stylist is used to working with squirmy three-year-olds.

Mom's salon
Many prefer to take the kids to their own salon. If you've been going for years and trust your stylist with your life, why not bring the kids with you and make it a family affair.
Home haircut
Some kids are terrified of having their haircut by a stranger, and some parents just don't trust anyone, so enter the bowl and sheers (kidding). Upsides: Cutting your children's hair is inexpensive, the kids can watch a movie while you cut, it saves money and if you really botch it, you can head to the experts.

Facebook-owned photo-messaging app Instagram appears to be re-branding to include the parent company's name as part of its own.
"Instagram will have a new branding called 'Instagram from Facebook'," reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong tweeted on Thursday along with a screenshot of the re-branded name.
To establish full control over the different divisions of his company, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been planning to integrate WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook into a unified platform.
The unified platform would have a collective user-base of over 2.6 billion people and Zuckerberg aims to help them cross-communicate across the apps, the media had reported.
Earlier in March, Instagram co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger spoke at the 2019 South By South West (SXSW) Conference and Festivals at Austin, Texas, since leaving Facebook last September, sore about losing independence within the Zuckerberg-led company.
"Instagram co-founder @kevin mentioned during SXSW 2019 that Instagram's autonomy has been being reduced. And this new branding is showing it," Wong added.
Neither Facebook nor Instagram has released an official statement on the subject as yet.
This comes right after reports emerged that Instagram was testing a seek-bar for shorter videos to let users drag the cursor to watch specific parts of the videos.
The functionality is already offered for IGTV videos on the platform. But now it is being tested for the 60-second videos users upload on their accounts to make locating desired parts of the videos easier for followers.
The test feature was discovered by reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong who tweeted a clip of an Instagram video with the seek-bar on top of the video on Thursday.

This Cabernet Franc has expressive notes of black cherry, raspberry, rosemary and thyme. The ripe fruit notes follow through to the palate, complemented by underlying notes of spice and herbs, while remaining fresh, rich and well-balanced. It is medium to full in body with mouthwatering acidity and outstanding structure.
Winemaking Notes Sourced from four different vineyards (in four different sub-appellations), the grapes were all harvested late in the growing season. After macerating on their skins for an extended period, the wines were drained into barrel, where they aged for 15 months. After aging on lees, the wines were assembled and bottled, without fining or filtration.
Food Pairings This wine is incredibly versatile to pair with a variety of food. It would pair perfectly with pork tenderloin, braised beef stew, lasagna, pizza or pasta with a tomato-based sauce, and BBQ meats like burgers and sausages.
Cellar Potential Drinking best 2020 - 2025
Varietal Composition: 100% Cabernet Franc
Appellation: Niagara Peninsula Cooperage: French oak
Harvest Dates: Oct. 31 – Nov. 3, 2017

HOSPITAL staff have admitted that national guidelines issued to prevent an outbreak of a potentially-fatal disease at one of the region's largest hospitals were not followed.
The guidelines, put into place to protect patients from the C-Diff (clostridium difficile) bacteria, were not adhered to at The James Cook University Hospital, in Middlesbrough, an inquest heard yesterday.
Concerns about substandard care and hygiene at the hospital were raised at the inquest of John Michael Meek, 68, from Darlington, who died in the hospital, in January 2009, following an operation on a bowel perforation.
Teesside Coroner's Court heard that during his stay as an inpatient, Mr Meek was diagnosed as being infected with C-Diff, which can cause symptoms ranging from mild diarrhoea to life-threatening inflammation of the bowel.
Guidelines issued by the Department of Health state that anyone suspected as suffering from C-Diff should be isolated within two hours in order to prevent further transmission of the disease.
Mr Meek was not isolated according to the guidelines and a statement from his wife, Margaret, said that her husband had shared a ward with others clearly suffering from severe diarrhoea.
Hospital staff also failed to monitor the patient's bowel movements adequately and did not administer treatment for Mr Meek's disease until ten days after diagnosis was made.
Gastroenterologist Dr Helen Dallal, who diagnosed Mr Meek with C-Diff, agreed that the hospital had not adhered to national guidelines and should have offered prompt treatment.
She said: "The policy should have been implemented by the whole hospital."
However, she had failed to ensure it was carried out because she had assumed it was being dealt with by ward staff.
Mr Meek also suffered from fungal infection aspergillosis.
Evidence from microbiologist Professor Suzannah Eykyn stated that this was likely to have been contracted as a result of exposure to building work going on at the hospital during the time of his stay that left corridors full of dust and debris.
The inquest is considering whether the C-Diff and aspergillosis infections were factors that may have contributed to Mr Meek's death, linked to a perforated bowel.
A verdict is expected today.

I miss my Momma Bean.
In general I never got together with my maternal unit as often as Munkie does with his family. But usually when I did get together with her, it was usually for a meal – something which was just the two of us, stress free in that someone else did the cooking. I did speak to her a fair bit on the telephone, even though both of us lived in the same city. My Momma Bean is a sweet little Lithuanian lady with a very shy and soft voice. But she has a will of iron – this is the woman who would make surgeons cower when she wanted to be in Post-Op after my surgeries; it never bothered her that she wasn't allowed in, cos dammit this was her Baby Bean and no one will keep her from me. So for most of my surgeries the first face I'd see in Post-Op, when I'd wake up, was my mother.
But lately this little strong willed woman has been getting frailer, so I worry about her. Doesn't help that Lil'Bro isn't much of a support – she still does all the food shopping even though he lives with her and has a car. She has to take a bus and drag the bags back with her. Atleast she's bowed to suggestions for me to get a cleaning lady. And I do try to give her tax advice so she can minimize her tax burden. I can do that from afar so that's a bit of a comfort for her.
This year will be my first Christmas without my Momma Bean. Last year I wasn't home for Christmas either, but she and I had a little meal together at Pearson Airport before I flew out .. a quasi-christmas dinner. For my last few flights out she's been accompanying me to the airport to wish me bon voyage. My Momma Bean is lonely, I know that.
I shall miss my Kucios with her. Kucios is a traditional Lithuanian Christmas Eve Dinner. I'm used to a quiet Christmas where the big meal is on Christmas Eve and if we have the energy we may come over for Christmas Day for some tea & cakes. Now I have to gird myself in preparation for a Christmas that I am not accustomed to – Christmas Lunch, Boxing Day Lunch and whatever else is done in the UK. I also have to get used to the fact that except for a tiny skeleton crew most of the infrastructure in the UK will grind to a halt.

Job 18: How Not to Be
Job 18 talks a lot about what is wrong with being a wicked man. Job's friend Bildad is obviously doing this because he believes that Job is exactly the kind of man is describing. However, in my opinion, this is a pretty good description for any of us if we are apart from God.
Job 18:5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
Job 18:6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
Job 18:7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
I obviously picked this set of verses because as Christians, we are called to be the light of the world. However, if we are not living the way we should, our light will not be shining.
Again, I think this is a pretty convincing evidence that we do have a sin nature. I know that philosophers like John Locke have argued that we are born as a clean slate, tabula rasa. Generally, as far as I understand it, they are talking about knowledge and the fact that we are not born with natural knowledge. They would argue that nurture is a lot more important than nature. However, if anybody ever tries to extend that philosophy to being born without sin, we need to make sure we know what the Bible says.
All humanity has inherited a sin nature.
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Therefore, we are all the wicked people without a light that Bildad describes apart from Jesus Christ. When we begin to follow Him, we come through a kind of transformation.
Mat 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
When Jesus comes in, we receive light that we can then show to the world. For a really overused cliché, we basically do catch on fire for God.
That is the application for today. We need to make sure that we have that light in our lives. Job probably did not appreciate the words of his friend in this particular context, and I do not think that I would either. However, they do provide a nice image of how not to be. While it may not be optimistic, self-examination never hurts.

Spireites manager Paul Cook was delighted for the town of Chesterfield after his side bypassed Fleetwood Town in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy on Tuesday night.Cook's side were defeated 1-0 in the second leg of the cup tie but still progressed to the final with a 3-2 aggregate win over the Cod Army following the 3-1 victory at Highbury Stadium earlier this month.
Speaking briefly to Spireites Player after the match, the Spireites boss said: "I'm delighted, I really am. It's a special night for me, it's a special night for my family, it's a special night for everyone connected with Chesterfield.
"The town will now celebrate that and I'm really proud to be the manager. We've taken support to Northampton, to Torquay, to Portsmouth and now we're going to Wembley. I think it's great to be able to look forward to that."
Despite the defeat, the Liverpudlian explained how he felt Chesterfield had put in one of their strongest performances of the season. "It was a good as we've played for a long time," claimed Cook before adding: "We were brilliant, we really played well. We got the ball in good areas, we created chances, we moved the ball and we looked a really good side.
"We've had a lot of success at this club in a short space of time and it seems to be continuing."
Spireites Player interviewer Phil Tooley asked the manager how progressing to Wembley ranked in his footballing and managerial career, the 46-year-old replied: "I'm lucky enough that I've been involved in football all my life, I've had some really special occasions but none of them beat tonight."

My husband admitted to me that he finds it strange that I seem to completely miss when he attempts to flirt with me. When he told me this he was in a moment of vulnerability and I was wanting to comfort him, to explain that it's not true. But I found myself realizing that I have no idea what he's talking about. I guess that's the point. I ask him for examples and he gives some. He lists off several sweet, little gestures that he does to indicate that he wants to be close with me. Again, with incredible vulnerability, he points out that I laugh at him when he does these things. And it's true. I do. I laugh and immediately ask him a direct question about what his intentions are. "Do you want sex?" And, probably no one will be shocked by his response…he is dejected. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but clearly, I missed the point. He was making a bid for connection and I turned it into a business meeting.
We talked… and I thought. Why do I do that? Why do I want to force him to state in black and white terms exactly what his intentions are before I am willing to engage? And then it hits me… I'm a woman who was raised in a world where not knowing a man's intentions was terrifying. This is how my "me too" story still affects me. After therapy, after healing from PTSD, after being a trauma therapist myself, and after years of a loving partner, I still need and want to know exactly what I am consenting to before I will be vulnerable. Doesn't this make so much sense? Most of my previous sexual encounters prior to my current partner were either manipulative, degrading, or violent. My demand for exact communication is a holdover from a promise I made to myself. I promised I would never accidentally walk into a situation like that ever again. I would make sure. . . as sure as I possibly could.
I feel a sense of loss that, once again, I have found something that has been taken from me (and now, my husband) by my perpetrators. I feel anger. Red, hot, and ferocious. But also relief that I understand now. My partner does not demand, he requests. His subtle bids for connection are not manipulation to push me somewhere I don't want to go. They are an invitation that I can choose to respond to. When I'm invited to a party by someone I trust, I don't demand a list of activities and expectations before I attend. I'd like to think I can approach his invitations with the same trust and enthusiasm.

He said, "I'm the only surviving member of the original tennis association group here in Socorro", and invited everyone - both young and old to join the Socorro Tennis Association and come out and play any time on the city's new courts. "Come on out and just ask anyone playing how to become involved or call Mr. Martinez at 835-1468 for more information. There are groups playing on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 to 9 am each week. "It's great exercise and the facilities are really nice".

text: With just days to go before Britain goes to the polls to decide whether we remain part of the European Union, the Gazette put 10 key questions to former North Devon MP Sir Nick Harvey and national UKIP chairman Steve Crowther. Having listened closely to the main arguments during the last few months, we wanted to hear their thoughts on the cost of membership, the value to Britain or otherwise and what life would be like if Britain voted to opt out. Weve asked if the money Britain spends on the EU could be spent on the NHS, whether North Devon fishermen could fish local waters, or if there is a danger of recession if we left. Steves answers here are unedited and appear in full. To see Sir Nick Harveys responses, click here.1) How much does EU membership cost Britain and what do we receive in return? The gross direct cost is around £350million a week, or £18billion a year. Nobody disputes this, by the way. From that we get back a rebate of around £5bn and support payments valued at £4.5bn last year. The indirect cost (of regulations etc) is estimated at between £80bn and £180bn a year. The money we get back comes with strings: the EU tells us what to spend it on, demands match-funding and then insists we put up a plaque saying how generous theyve been. (Theyre going to make farmers put these in their fields next year.) The EUs own list of top 10 benefits includes keeping the peace in Europe forgetting NATO, and the mess they made in Yugoslavia and Ukraine and lower mobile phone roaming charges! 2) So if we leave the EU, will we be able to spend our membership fee on the NHS, for example? This campaign has been characterised by astonishing levels of misinformation and deceit. Broadly, the Leave campaign has refrained from making spurious economic predictions unlike George Osborne and, to their eternal shame, the Treasury, who have just made stuff up. (Funny how they can accurately predict our economic performance for the next 30 quarters, but didnt manage to predict the last three correctly.) Its a mistake to suggest that all of the £350m a week we subscribe could be saved and spent on the NHS. It couldnt but we could still add several billions to the NHS budget every year.3) Isnt there a danger Britain could slide into recession if we leave the EU? Maybe. Theres a danger we could slide into recession if we dont leave, also. The EU is in chaos (the French have been rioting for weeks), the Eurozone is melting down, we are about to be asked for a lot more money to prop it up and pay for the migrant crisis. George Osbornes bogus predictions variously suggest that we will have a one-year technical recession (ie no growth) or that we will have a recession worse than that caused by the world wars or the Great Depression. We maintain that the UKs economic independence has served us well. We are the fifth largest world economy, the sixth largest exporter, the eighth largest manufacturer and the EUs largest customer. Dont be panicked into giving up your country for a few quid in the short term.4) What about house prices? Would they be affected if we left? Only if you get the Treasury to construct a complicated case about the effect on the economy to prove it. Or the reverse. Why should they? And if they did, by how much? And would it be a good or a bad thing? For every mature couple whose wealth is tied up in their house, there is a young couple who cant get on the housing ladder.Our house prices are pretty robust, historically, and are governed by supply and demand, not EU membership.5) But we would be able to make our own laws and have more of a say on our border controls if we leave, right? Right. This is the whole point, really. The EU is about outsourcing our government. I met a lady recently who said she thought that was a good thing because we are a pathetic little country. I disagree. Once we give away our ability to hire and fire our politicians, we are slaves. On border controls, it is fabulously simple. Inside the EU, every EU citizen has a right to come, work and settle here, whenever they like. So all our immigration control has to be directed at non-EU people. We should control our own borders. For our public services, our economic stability, our jobs, our social cohesion and our security, we must regain that right.6) Would we still be able to trade with EU member states if we leave? This is where the most enormous whoppers have been told. Trade is not something that governments do. We are the EUs largest customer, and they sold us £89billion more than we sold them last year. If we have to trade on standard tariff terms, well actually make a profit. But I suspect they will want to cut us a deal. Imagine you own a village shop, and you say to your best customer: If you dont pay for our Christmas decorations, youre barred. When Stephen Kinnock MP forecasts The total destruction of the UK economy he is either having a mental aberration or consciously telling a great big lie. You decide.7) What about the environment? Dont we have the EU to thank for clean beaches? Actually, the EU clean beaches scheme has been rather good. So lets keep it, after we leave. We dont have to stop doing good things.8) Would North Devon fishermen be free to fish where they want? North Devon fishermen (assuming there are any left) could fish in British territorial waters. All around the coast, British fishermen could fish the 70 per cent of European fish stocks that swim off our shores. The European fisheries policy has been a disaster for British fishermen, and for fish stocks. The best people to manage inshore fish stocks are the people whose lives and communities depend on them; not industrial trawlers who will fish them out and then move on to do the same to Africa. And our farmers will be better off, too, with a better subsidy regime and better long-term prospects for maintaining it.9) How would travel in Europe be affected if we leave? Would we still get free healthcare in EU countries? The UK is not part of the Schengen area or the Euro, so we already have to show our passports and change currency when we travel in Europe. So no change there. We have freedom of movement now, ie we dont need visas to travel in Europe, but then so do quite a few other EU neighbours, including the Turks, from the end of this month. Why would the EU try and make it difficult for us to travel, spending our money in their countries. Free healthcare is provided through the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Actually, the NHS pays for it. Its available to countries that are not in the EU. A current problem is EU workers coming to the UK, getting an NI number and EHIC card, and then getting the NHS to pay for their families health treatments in their home countries.10) What would the world think of Britain if we voted to leave? They would think we were a proud independent nation which was not prepared to be subsumed into a United States of Europe. A nation that wanted to elect and dismiss its own governments, like they do. Control its own borders, like they do. Trade globally on its own terms, like they do. Keep its people secure and stand up for their rights something in which we have been an example to the world. They (that is the people, not the political elites) would probably say good on you, and good luck. Click here to return to our homepage for more North Devon news.

Obama's New Energy Plan Exposed
Democratic Energy Plan
Drive small cars and wait for the wind
After the Democrats adjourned the House for the August recess, 007.6 Bond Operative Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) revealed Obama's New Energy Plan on July 31st. About 20 people in the gallery cheered as Congressman Nunes paraded a sign of a VW Bug with attached sail around the House floor claiming a Democrat said that their energy plan is to drive small cars and wait for the wind.
Interestingly, the Republicans continued discussing the urgent need for a new energy policy after the Democrats left for their five week vacation and C-SPAN turned off their cameras.
With Gas Prices Soaring and new Electric Taxes, can the biggest celebrity in the world lead our nation?
Humorous Republican Campaign Ad
Maybe, Deadheads For Obama '08 and the psychedelic rock group, Grateful Dead will "Come together" to endorse Barack Obama's emergency economic plan that would give $1,000 to every American family with money from a tax on oil companies?

Hi Bobby,
Well said… the key question is how quickly or slowly will the President collapse the economy? Obamarama in a day or McVain in a fortnight? 😉
Yes…but Obama's ideas on inflating your tires to proper pressure and getting a tune up are revolutionary! I hate to say it, but the US economy will crash and burn no matter who gets elected.
Hi Rev,
A crow's nest is a great idea to watch our 1,000 Obamarama Monopoly Dollars fly away to the Oil companies who need to raise their gas prices to pay for Rocking Bar-rock's Dead End tax increase.
Bwa ha ha ha! Is your Obamarama Bar-rock rocking the nation to the dead beat tunes of the Dead Heads? 😀
We're singing this song parody on the East Coast:
"You say you're living in a world of trouble,
All my schemes have popped like a bubble,
My Wright Reverend has uncovered my secrets,
And my brothers have told your friend,
Now my secrets are out, and I don't have to pretend,
You can see for yourself, I'm only the Dead End" -Obama D Millionaire
Hi Craig,
great video 😀 … will add to my McCain Campaign Comedy post crediting you as the source.

In Memory of Sheryl Brady Parfitt
Sheryl's House – Ontario's Housing First Foyer for young women & young mothers.
Sheryl's House is closely modelled after Haven's Way, a unique and amazingly succesful program provided by the Boys and Girls Club of Calgary. Haven's Way is the first Housing First Foyer in Canada and Sheryl's House will be the first of it's kind in Ontario.
Our goal is to have this be the youth's last experience with homelessness. Our specific goal is to provide young women & their kids with a safe supportive home environment where they can begin to heal, increase their level of education and develop the skills and supports that will transition them into adult self-sufficiency.
Sheryl's House offers a home for young females (14-24) who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and committed to completing their education. This risk has presented itself in many different ways including sexual, mental and physical abuse, sexual exploitation, neglect, mental health, drug addiction and involvement with street life. We offer these girls a safe home environment, surrounded by positive adult role models that support them to thrive in their daily lives.
We believe it's in a supportive home environment that youth can relax and begin to explore their identity and set goals for themselves. Sheryl's House provides each girl the opportunity to spend quality one-to-one time with their live in supports that we call house parents allowing them to build trusting and helping relationships. It's through these quality relationships that the youth can begin to set goals for themselves and identify the resources and supports needed to achieve them.
Program Design
Sheryl's House is an average home in a residential neighborhood close to a schools &transoprtation. The program provides a home to young women some with children who were homeless or at risk of being homelessness.
Sheryl's House offers three young women a place to live in supportive family environment where they can focus on completing their education while having their social and emotional needs met. The young women require supports to help with emotional healing and the transition to adult self-sufficiency. The House Parents help support the youth by attending professional appointments, keeping them engaged in recreational activities and school. The House Parent with support from the Program Coordinator work with each youth individually to develop individual goals and work on the life skills they need for independence.
This model of supportive housing is based upon the stages of change framework, trauma-informed care, relationship-based perspective, strength-based and a client-centered philosophy.
Supportive Housing Model
Relationship-based Perspective: Our work always begins with the building of a positive relationship. Our research shows that a respectful, supportive and empowering relationship is the conduit for change.
Stages of Change: Change is a complex process. Individuals may be at different stages of change in different areas of their lives. Ensuring youth voice and choice are respected, we tailor our approach and interventions, and we support the youth to move towards and through change.
Strength-based Perspective: This approach works with youth to identify and acknowledge their individual strengths. Youth who are experiencing challenges are often mired in crisis and deficit thinking. A strength-based approach works to shift perception from "what's wrong" to "what's working", and empowers the youth to build on their strengths.
Trauma-Informed Perspective: Most if not all homeless youth have experienced some type of trauma. A trauma-informed approach acknowledges and is responsive to the consequences of trauma on attachment, self-regulation and competency and seeks to build resiliency in these areas.
Client-centered Philosophy: Primary to program philosophy 'Choice' and 'Voice' in one's life is essential. When youth are given choice it empowers them and provides conditions for happiness that better addresses their needs. Choice provides youth with the opportunity to make mistakes and learn from them. We believe that when ideas are self-generated rather than a response to what is expected by a caregiver in their life you will become more self-sufficient and able to help themselves.
