Trump orders strict new refugee screening
WASHINGTON >> Setting a hard-line tone on national security, President Donald Trump Friday suspended the nation's refugee program for four months, aiming to keep "radical Islamic terrorists" out of the United States.
Trump traveled to the Pentagon, where he joined Defense Secretary Jim Mattis for the signing of an executive action to bring sweeping changes to the nation's refugee policies and put in motion his plans to build up the nation's military.
"We want to ensure that we are not admitting into our country the very threats our soldiers are fighting overseas," he said. "We only want to admit those into our country who will support our country and love deeply our people."
The order was signed on Trump's most robust day of national security and foreign policy at the start of his presidency, marked by a meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May and a lengthy phone call with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.
During his election campaign against Hillary Clinton, Trump pledged to put in place "extreme vetting" procedures to screen people coming to the U.S. from countries with terrorism ties. The order imposes a 120-day suspension of the entire U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and a 90-day ban on all entry to the United States from countries with terrorism concerns.
The State Department said the three-month ban in the directive applied to Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen — all Muslim majority nations.
The order also halts entry to the U.S. by Syrian refugees until the president determines that changes to the refugee assistance program ensure that admitting them won't compromise national security.
The order makes no mention of a plan to provide safe zones in Syria and the surrounding area. A draft of the order had directed the Pentagon and the State Department to produce a plan for safe zones in the war-torn Mideast nation.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, said it would file a federal lawsuit Monday challenging the constitutionality of the executive order.
"There is no evidence that refugees — the most thoroughly vetted of all people entering our nation — are a threat to national security," said CAIR National Litigation Director Lena F. Masri. "This is an order that is based on bigotry, not reality."
Trump also signed a presidential memorandum on "rebuilding" the U.S. Armed Forces, giving Mattis 30 days to conduct a "readiness" review and report back on steps that can be taken this year to improve conditions.
Joined earlier in the day at the White House by May, the British prime minister, Trump reaffirmed the United States' "special relationship" with Great Britain.
But he was also asked about more contentious issues, including his recent statements that torture "does work" in prying information out of terror suspects. Giving ground, he said his defense secretary's opposition would override his own belief. Hours later he stood at the Pentagon as Mattis, the retired general, was sworn in as the military's chief.
Trump was also pressed on whether he would revert back to Bush-era use of torture, in the news since The Associated Press and other news organizations obtained copies of a draft executive order signaling sweeping changes to U.S. interrogation and detention policy.
Trump said he would defer to the views of Mattis, who has questioned the effectiveness of such practices as waterboarding, which simulates drowning.
"He has stated publicly that he does not necessarily believe in torture or waterboarding, or however you want to define it. ... I don't necessarily agree. But I would tell you that he will override because I'm giving him that power. He's an expert," Trump said.
The draft order, which the White House said was not official, also would reverse Obama's effort to close the military detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba — a place Trump has said he wants to fill up "with bad dudes."
The draft also requests recommendations on whether the U.S. should reopen CIA detention facilities outside the United States.
Trump, who met with the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon, has the authority to determine how many refugees are accepted annually, and he can suspend the program at any time. Refugee processing was suspended in the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks and restarted months later.
During the past budget year, the U.S. accepted 84,995 refugees, including 12,587 people from Syria. President Barack Obama had set the refugee limit for this budget year at 110,000.
Trump, according to the executive order, plans to cut that to 50,000. The order says that while the program is suspended, the U.S. may admit people on a case-by-case basis when "in the national interest" and the government will continue to process refugee requests from people claiming religious persecution, "provided that the religion of the individual is a minority religion in the individual's country." That suggests it would allow the admission of Christians from Muslim-majority countries.
In an interview with CBN News, Trump said persecuted Christians would be given priority in applying for refugee status. "We are going to help them," Trump said. "They've been horribly treated."

One of the most interesting things that Doctor Who sometimes does with its lead actors is to take a performer that is principally known for comedic roles, then make them act against type.
So, Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor, rather than delivering a whirlwind of funny voices and manic energy, was a lofty and deliberate man, a gentleman scientist. And Peter Davison's Fifth Doctor showed fear and frailty, rather than the bumptious youth viewers may have expected from his previous TV roles.
So, in the midst of some concern as to the direction of the show, Sylvester McCoy was brought in as a safe pair of hands. He was a known performer to the young viewers that have always been the heart of the Doctor Who fanbase, having made his name with a series of manic turns on children's TV shows like Jigsaw, Tiswas and Vision On. It was clear that he had the capability to bring back some of the Second Doctor's clowning, a welcome respite from the Sixth Doctor's haughtiness.
This sort of a thing:
And yet, if all there was to the Doctor was horseplay, he wouldn't be the complex, dark character that we all know and love. It's important that he can inject levity into tense situations, but not all the time. And the Seventh Doctor is someone that appears, over time, to become irritated by his own silliness.
It might be nothing more than an angry case of the tears of a clown, but it's always compelling to watch someone who has that surplus of wit and charm suddenly lose heart, and become more terse and snarly. It's a trick we've seen the Eleventh Doctor pull more than a few times too.
So, rather than being a puckish, sprightly, carefree Doctor, the Seventh slowly embarks on a hugely complicated strategic battle with the forces of evil, and is well prepared to make a few necessary sacrifices in order to win. He has to be good at making people do what he wants them to do, because he's decided to fully renounce violence in general, and guns in particular.
The relationship between this Doctor and his principal companion, Ace, defines his tenure in the TARDIS. She provides a root for his flightier moments, while fulfilling her responsibility to get as lost and in trouble as any companion ever did. And you get the sense that he holds their relationship more closely to his heart(s) than, say, the Sixth Doctor did with Peri.
As with a lot of aspects of his tenure, things that start as jokes — Ace calls him "Professor" — often end up being more meaningful, as he solemnly assumes a mentor role to his violent charge. This allows him to forgo the equality of a more conventional friendship, preferring a more parental role, in which he knows what's best and doesn't always feel the need to explain himself.
And when he's not trying to build up her confidence, he's tricking his way into the middle of a Dalek civil war using old Time Lord technology, and then arranging the destruction of their home planet, Skaro (actions which may end up precipitating the Time War). He does a similar thing to the Cybermen too. This is a guy that is no longer whimsically wandering space and time, to see what he can see. He's an active participant in his own adventures from the start.
And in the end, he's right to be something of a control freak. While delivering the body of the Master to Gallifrey, he is forced to land in 1999 San Francisco, and catches a random bullet in a gang shooting. Unconscious, and therefore unable to explain the workings of his unique physiognomy and how best to treat his wound, he has to lie still while the doctors working to save his life accidentally provoke a regeneration that he could easily have prevented if he'd only been able to speak.
And when he awakes, he's a new man entirely.
For more Seventh Doctor shenanigans, here's the trailer for this Saturday's Doctor Who: The Doctor Revisited, showing at 7pm/6c on BBC AMERICA:

Splendid buy
This product is well made and a good all-rounder. Baking, mousse cups, the list is endless. Easy to clean and no more clanging in the cupboards with reference to empty bean tins. A great time-saver as you can layer your sponge mixture to make small multi-coloured mini-cakes or savoury bread. I am a proud owner of these flan pans.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

FANTASTIC in all aspects!!
A seriously amazing cake pan, it nearly takes 2 x standard cake mixture to fill but it makes a lot. The size of the mini cakes is quite big, nearly too big for a single portion but it looks amazing. The clip-on mechanism works wonderfully and the non-stick coating is of good quality - I would recommend you wash it yourself carefully to prolong the non-stick quality. LOVE the pan.

Its refreshing to realise sometimes that there is a world 'out there' beyond the West and that they are living with autism too. And whats more, they aren't considering it soulless, or sucking the marrow out of families, or organising pointless marches for people to exercise their right to blame others, or forming organisations that concentrate on blaming vaccines, or claiming that denying autism was anything except mercury poisoning in the past and now claiming its the vaccine schedule is just the evolution of a hypothesis, or making a tidy profit of the ignorance of parents.
No, what they're doing is 'serving humanity':
Mr. Babatunde Willouhby,a masters degree holder, left his lucrative job to serve humanity by taking care of autistic and children with Down syndrome, amongst others. He is an administrator in an autistic school, named Hope House School, here in Abuja. While chatting with him recently in his office, I saw in him a man with passion for dealing and caring for a special group of children with slightly different behavioral pattern from those who the society will tag 'normal children'.
Mr Ayiem……said the value he attach to the welfare of his son does not make him see the money spent as expensive, but an investment which is worth giving any individual with confidence that, though it will take time, his son will be independent some day.
and most of all
….socially people see it as a stigma, but I don't. I have had occasions where I go out with her to supermarket, church and social gathering and you notice people looking at you in a particular way, but I don't care because she is my daughter. I give her all my love and I display it publicly. I want her to know that she is one of the must loved children in the world.
autistic children and children with Down syndrome can contribute significantly to the society ,if only they are accepted. When we are at home for instance, we help her with her school work by showing her what to do and what behaviour is proper. Of course, like any other child she may go off the track but we help her to do the right things.
If you play any song on radio or on CD and ask who sang it, whether American or Nigerian, she will tell you the name of the artiste. How she knows the name of the artiste and their songs, I don't know. So if she wants to take that line, I will encourage her all the way. Wendy to me, is one in a million and for me she is a normal child." From this discussion with Mr Ojugbuna I saw the picture of a father who believes in his child and that was reflected in the behavior of Wendy.
Nigeria is classed as a developing nation (what used to be called 'third world'). I'd say that in my opinion it has developed a whole hell of a lot further and faster than some people I can think of over in this supposedly enlightened culture.

5 brand new live games to try
Lightbet Casino's new EZUGI line-up features 5 different live casino games: Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Lottery, and Bingo. Each one has state-of-the-art interactive features, including video chat, fast streaming, and live chat support integrated directly into the interface. Check out each one in detail below!
The two most unique additions to the Lightbet Casino live games line-up are Live Lottery and Live Keno. Both of these games remove the traditional random number generator approach and replace it with a fun dealer who will draw numbered balls after all bets are taken. You can even root for your numbers using the chat interface and adjust the camera to watch the results how you like.
Live Blackjack is an exciting way to race the dealer to 21 (or at least hope she busts!). The game can be played with just one player or as many as six. Each round, the friendly dealer will deal out the cards and turn to each player, one-by-one, so that they can decide how to play their hand. Feel free to chat with the other players and the dealer throughout your session!
In Live Roulette, you'll be able to play at the same leisurely pace found in casinos around the world. The dealer will stand by as you and the others at the table decide how you want to bet on the virtual betting grid. After 3 minutes, she will announce "No more bets" and spin the wheel, hopefully with your lucky number as the winning result. This way, you've got plenty of time to chat with the dealer and the other players about the game or whatever's on your mind.
This same leisurely pacing is found in Live Baccarat. Just bet whether you think the "Dealer" or "Player" hand will get closer to 9, and enjoy chatting with other members while you wait for the outcome. The game uses classic rules with a return of over 98% for both the Player and Banker bets.
Of course, the best way to see how the new EZUGI games work is to play them yourself. Get started right now by going to the Lightbet Casino website and claiming your 10% live games bonus.

According to NY Daily News reports:
A white California man who told cops he'd been shot by a black man has confessed he made the entire story up and had actually fired the gun at himself.
Officers found Brent Thomas Posada suffering from gunshot wounds at his Redding home at 8:18 p.m. on Feb. 1.
The 34-year-old claimed a black man had approached him and pointed a gun at his head.
Posada alleged that, when he pushed the suspect's arm to the side, the gun went off. A bullet struck him in the stomach, he added.
But when police searched the area, they found no evidence to back up his claims, reports Redding.com.
Investigators analyzed Posada's clothes and found evidence that seemed to contradict his original statement.
Posada was recalled for questioning and, on Monday, reportedly admitted to intentionally shooting himself with a high-powered air rifle.
It's not clear why he deliberately wanted to injure himself.
Posada was not arrested for filing a false police report. But Shasta County District Attorney's Office will now review his case, reports KRCRTV.
Kudos to the police for not trusting this fool. It seems like too many other times in history cops buy anything a white person say as long as a black person is supposedly to blame.

Varsity Soccer on a Winning Streak
The Campion Academy varsity soccer team is 6-0 so far this season, and although they are currently unranked because they fell below the minimum number of games required for a ranking, as of last Monday they were #38 in the state and #1 in 2A schools (Campion's sports division).
Mr. Ottschofski, who is in his fifth year of coaching at Campion, said, "We have a solid starting defense but are also scoring more goals this year, and our passing has improved. I love coaching because it provides so many opportunities for young men and women to grow and develop character. Those are the moments I look for as a coach and athletic director."
Erick Maldonado, who is a senior and one of the captains of the team, said, "It really feels like the team is clicking. I'm looking forward to the bigger games on the schedule, as we have some big challenges ahead, and of course the Mile High game. This team is very talented, but above all, they've shown a lot of heart, so I'm excited to face some harder teams and see how we do. I love the amount of fun we have on this team. Though we've been very good on the field, we're doing it while having a lot of fun. No one believes they're better than their teammates, and despite the stats and final scores, we make sure we have fun doing it. I feel this has really helped us relax, and opened up our creativity. These traits can only lead to positive results, which is what we keep on striving for as we head towards the Union tournament."
Campion is so proud of its soccer team's accomplishments and sportsmanship. Be sure to check the sports schedule and come out to support the soccer team during their upcoming games!
Ashley Herber, Student Editor
Last Friday, Campion Academy hosted its annual volleyball tournament and the Campion team won for the first time in three years. A total of four schools participated, and the games took place all day. After coming in last place the previous year, the team was determined to make a come-back. The team won their first two games that morning against Loveland Classical and Rocky Mountain Lutheran and lost their third to Hyland Christian. This put them in the final championship game against Hyland Christian where they played three sets. The whole team played hard for their win. A few players, including Sandra Marin and Haley Enochs, had long serving runs while other players like Delanie Kamarad and Ashley Halvorson had several good hits at the net. Meg Michalenko, a senior who plays middle blocker on the team, said, "Playing in the volleyball tournament was such an amazing experience as a team. We learned how to trust in one another and encourage those around us."

Kelsey Cate started coaching volleyball at Campion five years ago at the invitation of then head coach Erin Heib, and she became the head coach two years ago. She played volleyball for two years at Union College before graduating from Colorado Christian University. Before that she played at Campion, graduating in 2013. Kelsey's love of volleyball is easy to see, as is her love of her players. When asked what her favorite part about coaching is she said, "Sharing my love of volleyball with my players and seeing them succeed," and when asked what her favorite part about volleyball is, she said simply and enthusiastically, "Everything."

Congrats to Our Teams!
Congratulations to our soccer and volleyball teams who played well in the Union College Tournaments October 20-22 and always make us proud. The ladies' volleyball team took 3rd place, and the men's soccer team were tournament champions!

Just this last week the Campion Cougars (men and women) traveled to the Union College basketball tournament and gave it their all. The ladies rode home as undefeated champions after a 35-30 victory over the Sunnydale Spartans. The men's team earned second place after a close game against the College View Eagles in which they lost by 8 points in overtime.
After losing 3 games to Mile High this season, the guys were especially proud to win the semifinal (43-37) against their rival school. Both varsity teams have learned so much all throughout the season, and we're all extremely sad that it's over.
God is not only revealed among students through Campion's Christian environment, but through our sports as well. Team co-captain Chantelle Bravatti said, "It's taught me that no matter how big or small, we should always let God be in control and give Him the glory always."
God is our #1 motivator, but many athletes play for people watching from the sidelines. The men's team co-captain, Xander Assa, said, "I played for my dad; he came to watch. My dad doesn't know much about the game, but he's there for me. At tournament I had three 20-point games, in hopes to make my dad smile. When my dad smiles, I smile."
Similarly, Chantelle Bravatti played for her friend and teammate. "Rachel--she injured herself this season. She has always been there for us. It was hard for her, but I wanted to make her proud by how we played. Even though Rachel didn't get the opportunity to play this season, she made just as much of an impact on the team as she would have playing on the court."
The Campion teams are a different type of family. The womens' team chants the Spanish word, "Familia," before every game. Women's co-captain Chezney Barry said, "My teammates have helped me believe in trust again." The team believes families should trust each other, and they see their games improve when they do. Glenn O'Halloran, womens' coach, reminded his girls during the championship game of John Wooden's words, "Athletes win games. Teamwork wins championships." Teamwork led them to a 6-0 record over the tournament.

A Torn ACL, a Miraculous Donation
The morning of December 9, I was struggling and we had barely begun working. I work with Joe Martin as a literature evangelist, and this particular morning we were working in Loveland, Colorado. Before Thanksgiving break, while playing in a basketball scrimmage, I completely tore my ACL and also parts of my meniscus. I will have to have surgery over Christmas break and then miss 6-8 weeks of work for recovery. Through special organized prayer offered by Principal Don Reeder, Pastor Micheal Goetz, my coach Glenn O'Halloran, and my parents, the Lord strengthened my knee enough to continue walking door-to-door sharing Jesus. However, walking was not painless, and that Wednesday morning was proving to be especially difficult. I asked God to strengthen and bless me as I was trying to give Him my best despite my condition.
I approached a small house with a white picket fence and rang the doorbell. A gentleman came to the door. I explained that I went to a Christian school and began to tell him what I was selling and about the cookbook, when he cut me short. He asked if he could simply give me a donation. Of course I said, "Yes."
He reached into his wallet, and he pulled out a $100 bill. I was shocked. I tried to leave him all of my books, but he refused. I said many thanks and was on my way. I stood in his driveway filling out the receipt when he came back out of his house and asked me how much tuition was. I gave him an approximate answer and he asked how much I needed. I told him that he had already been more than generous, but as I did, he held out to me an additional $500. I was at a loss for words. I told him that I would feel awful if he did not take at least one book, so he took a Peace Above the Storm.
Then I said, "Before I leave, I just have to ask; Why would you do something like this for me?" And after a moment he said, "Because Jesus did it for us." That statement brought tears to my eyes as the weight of those words sank in. I prayed with him, said as many thanks as I could, and continued on. It wasn't until later when I was able to meet up with Pastor Joe and share the news that he pointed the most amazing part of it out to me. He reminded me that $600 is equivalent to approximately 2 months of work, and the doctor had told me it would be 6-8 weeks (2 months) before I would be able to work following my surgery.
This injury has been difficult for me, but now I know without a doubt that God will bring far more good from it than the pain I have felt. I may not know what it is right now but I'm willing to trust God and see how He will continue to work through this temporary setback. Receiving the exact amount you need in the form of hundreds of dollars does not happen by chance. God knew I had a need, and He filled it. As the kind man implied, Jesus paid it all for us, so what should stop us from giving what we can back to God?

Campion's volleyball team brought home the tournament trophy for the first time this last weekend after some intense playing at the Union College Volleyball Invitational Tournament.
A phenomenal experience for players and coaches alike, the entire team reminisced about their games as they returned home from Lincoln, Nebraska, on Sunday the 18th.
Head coach Erin Hieb and assistant Kelsey Downey, both Campion alumni, have enjoyed the 2015 season with the volleyball team. Their team theme for this season focused on playing with 100% effort in practice and through every point, set, and match. As coaches, they did their best to encourage good sportsmanship and determination, and really focused on helping the girls have as much fun as possible.
Coach Kelsey felt that losing Wednesday night practice time, a new challenge this year, definitely affected the overall outcome of the season and made Tuesday and Thursday games more of a challenge because of no practice on Wednesday. However, win or lose, she argued, the girls were able to have more time to focus on the spiritual side of life, which is what Campion is all about. The attitudes and effort of these athletes revealed a commitment to the sport, but foremost to their Savior.
On Saturday night of volleyball tournament, the Lady Cougars decided to carry on the tradition of writing a Bible verse on their hands as a reminder of Whom they truly play for. This year the text was taken from Romans 8:31, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" The team decided this verse was an excellent choice for a night of hard work and intense play. With God's help and a lot of determination from every team member, the Lady Cougars fought from the heart for their first ever victory at the Union College Volleyball Tournament. [Kelsey Downey]

Women Alive in Christ
by Cindy Thomas
Sing, Daughter Zion; shout aloud, Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
Daughter Jerusalem!
These words from Zephaniah 3:14 bring sweet memories to those who attended the Women's Blessing on Saturday, July 15, 2017. Through the anointing of our Bishop Jim and Mama Shari Hobby, we experienced a captivating three-fold Blessing.
As we participated in The Great Thanksgiving, Bishop Jim led us through a deliberate time of reflection and encouraged personal prayer for each of us, with key questions during the prayers of the people.
Mama Shari celebrated and preached and oh, what a message! I can only recap her message with the beautiful image of God our heavenly Father, who knows us each intimately, joyfully singing over us, in our highs, in our lows, just as we are, with His constant love.
Then came a sweet "fireside chat" with Bishop Jim and Mama Shari in a time of Q & A with the women of their flock. They were most humble and full of grace sharing themselves with us, so we all came to know them better.
This was Women Alive in Christ's largest Women's Blessing yet. There were 16 different congregations represented, with 76 of the 80 registrants attending. It was a true delight to come together as the body of Christ to worship Jesus, learn, and enjoy fellowship with sisters and brothers from all corners of our Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh. Sincere thanks goes to Christ Church, Fox Chapel, where we were hosted for this diocesan event, and to their women who helped make the day so lovely.
I must boast in our Lord's provision. The Monday before the Women's Blessing, we had 60 registered to attend. We called the caterer and ordered 65 meals, but by Saturday morning, we had 76 attending. Those of us on team said, well, the Lord will have to multiply the food, and we six just won't eat. Praise God, He multiplied the food, just like the loaves and fishes, plus there was an amazing amount left over. We sent what was left to Shepherd's Heart Fellowship to bless them, too.
This is the goodness of our God whom we love and serve!
All Glory Be To Jesus!
WOMEN ALIVE IN CHRIST is the organization for all women of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh. Our purpose is to assist all women of the Diocese to live out the following "Building Stones" in their lives:
- Worshipping the One True God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- Living in Relationship with Jesus.
- Being rooted in Holy Scripture as guided by the Holy Spirit
- Finding rest and refreshment as we grow in our discipleship in Jesus
- Deepening our fellowship with one another in Jesus.

Before opening in 2013, River Bluff High School (RBHS) was architecturally designed and academically planned for a flexible modular schedule. Instead of a traditional bell schedule, we wanted a new approach that provided space for students to develop skills such as time management, collaboration, and independent decision making. We wanted RBHS to be a place that empowered students and placed the leadership of learning into their hands. We wanted to create a true learning environment where time benefited both students and teachers. (more…)

Creativity and Innovation in Secondary Education
Guest post by Brian Pickering
What can secondary schools do to build a learning environment that fosters creativity and innovation?
Seven years ago, the leadership team at Contoocook Valley Regional High School, or ConVal, set off on a mission to answer this question. The goal was to guarantee all students the opportunity for academic and social support, as well as learning extensions and enrichment. (more…)
Less is More: Shifting to a Trimester Schedule
Guest post by Britton Hart
We had a problem at Emporia High School—failure rates were going up but the time and money available to address student needs stayed the same. For several years, there had been a steady increase in economically disadvantaged and ELL populations. Our leadership team needed to find a solution using existing resources that helped us address the educational challenges of our evolving student population. (more…)
Making the Most of Intervention Time
Guest post by Clint Williams
Every day at Skyridge Middle School ends with an hour we call FLEX. Parents and students always ask, "What is FLEX?" My answer to that question often starts with a chuckle as I think about the best way to answer it. Essentially, FLEX is flexible time built into our schedule that allows us to meet the needs of our students.
During the last seven years, the FLEX program has morphed from a completely exploratory hour to an intervention period. (more…)

Congressional Internship Program
2020 Internships will be offered in Congresswoman Sewell's Washington, D.C. office as well as her District Offices in Alabama located in Birmingham, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, and Selma. A congressional internship gives deserving students the opportunity to experience first hand the inner workings of a Congressional office.
What happens during a Washington, D.C. Congressional Internship?
Each intern will spend four weeks working in the Washington, D.C. office of Congresswoman Terri Sewell. Interns will participate fully in the duties of the office and will work the full time office hours. Interns are given the opportunity to attend committee hearings, session of the House and the Senate, and interact with government agencies.
What happens during a District Office Congressional Internship?
Each intern will spend six weeks working in one or more of Congresswoman Sewell's office in Alabama's 7th District. Since applicants for these positions will be responsible for their own housing, they may indicate on the application which office or offices they would be available to work in– Birmingham, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, and/or Selma. Interns will participate fully in the duties of the office, assist with programming including the Congress In Your Community Town Hall Tour, and work directly with constituent service.
Who is Eligible for a Congressional Internship?
Any undergraduate student currently enrolled in college with a 3.0 GPA or higher who is a resident of Alabama's 7th Congressional District is eligible to apply for the Congressional Internship Program. Students may attend an accredited college or university located anywhere, but the college student must be from Alabama's 7th Congressional District.
How are Interns Selected?
Interns will be selected based on academic performance, leadership abilities and demonstrated financial need. Computer and office skills are also a requirement for selection. Candidates will be interviewed by the Board of Directors of The 7th Project. The selection of interns will be made on a non-partisan basis.
Are Internships Paid Positions?
The internship is an educational opportunity. Each Washington intern will receive a $1000 stipend to help with the cost of meals and basic expenses. While an intern is working in Washington, D.C., the 7th Project will pay the cost of their housing at an area university, within walking distance to public transportation. District interns will receive a $1000 stipend for a six week commitment.
When are the Internships?
Applications for District Internships are accepted year round. Applicants should indicate their beginning and ending dates of availability to work, and positions will be filled on a rolling basis. Each district internship session is six weeks long.
Each Washington Internship session is four weeks long.
There are two Washington internship sessions for Summer 2020:
Session I: June 2020
Session II: July 2020
Applications for both sessions must be received by midnight on March 13, 2020. Successful applicants will be notified in late March.
Internship Alumni
Garrett Stephens
"Being blessed with the opportunity to work in Congresswoman Sewell's office was an invaluable experience. I had opportunities to take part in projects and attend events that I never could've done elsewhere. I made lifelong friends and grew my network tremendously. Interning in her office taught me skills that I will use no matter where my career takes me. I am truly thankful for being a part of that amazing experience thanks to the 7th Project."
Jonathan Carlisle
"As a political science major immersed in the idea of Congress and what goes on within it, I initially thought that I had a firm grasp of how our government worked. However, I was sorely mistaken. The 7th Project afforded me the opportunity to experience Congress first-hand and it opened my eyes to not only the realities of being a public servant, but it also opened my eyes to the many pieces of support that keep our government running from day to day. The internship was an invaluable experience that I would not have been able to gain by just reading a textbook."
Clarence Sutton
"Working for Congresswoman Sewell has been an awesome experience. By being around people so dedicated to service throughout the 7th District I was able to grow and develop skills that have not only impacted me professionally, but have developed my character as well. As an intern I was able to engage with constituents on various levels. I was provided with the opportunity to sit in on many different meetings and hearings on the hill. Prior to my experience with Congresswoman Sewell I had always believed "the sky is the limit" was a cliché statement. However, after my experience with the 7th Project, I honestly believe it's true."
Kenyada Posey
"As a first generation college student and the daughter of a single parent, I faced many challenges, but I always looked to women like Congresswoman Terri Sewell for motivation and morale. That's why I was so honored to be selected by The 7th Project for a Washington internship. The internship has not only propelled my career as a political science student, but it has also allowed me to become more confident as a young black woman in politics. My experience has helped me to encourage others in Alabama's 7th District to believe they too can achieve."
Amanda Robinson
"Working in Congresswoman Sewell's office was a wonderful experience. Most Congressional internships consist of answering phones and sorting mail, but in this office you are given significant opportunity and assigned projects with real substance. I was also able to attend committee briefings, research policy issues, and meet other high-ranking members of Congress. Congresswoman Sewell spent one on one time with every intern and made sure we had valuable takeaways from the experience. I'm thankful to The 7th Project for giving me this opportunity."
Wesley Dismuke
"The 7th Project Association provided me with an awesome opportunity to serve the people of the 7th District of Alabama. Congresswoman Terri Sewell and her staff allowed me to have a full, hands-on experience, while making sure that I was able to be exposed to all facets of Capitol Hill. I performed tasks such as: listening to constituent concerns, drafting press releases, giving tours of the capitol, and assisting legislative staff with research. I was also able to get a more in-depth understanding of Congress by attending Congressional committee hearings and briefings. As an aspiring public servant, the opportunity afforded to me by the 7th Project Association was invaluable. I would encourage any college student interested in public service to take advantage of this opportunity and all that it has to offer."
Erin Alexander
"Having also worked as an intern in the Alabama State Legislature, the 7th Project Association provided a wonderful opportunity for me to gain a behind the scenes perspective into the workings of the federal government. The experience really opened my eyes to new career possibilities, and I was able to work on a Senate campaign because of connections I made in Washington. I strongly encourage other young people from Alabama's 7th District to take advantage of this opportunity to network and grow professionally."
Akiesha Anderson
"On the first day of the internship I instantly became a part of the team and immersed in an environment characterized by hard-work, dedication, and an overwhelming commitment to serving the constituents of Alabama's 7th District. I was able to assist and be a part of every level of constituent engagement: from listening to constituent concerns, drafting letters, attending community meetings, and coordinating a job fair. Words alone are insufficient to describe the benefit that I personally received from such an experience, for there's no comparison to being able to go home each day knowing that my contributions to the team mattered and helped make a difference in the lives of constituents!"
Elexia Coleman
"Congresswoman Sewell is very passionate about interns, and always made sure that we had an active role in every one of her staff's biggest projects. She also graciously allowed us to sit in on several meetings where we were exposed to some very influential people while in D.C. Because of this, I learned so much about how various industries work with lawmakers to influence policy."
Jordan Ceasar
"If there was any advice I could leave for future interns, it would be to be open-minded and learn everything that you can. You will get a firsthand look at politics, but the true lesson is about leadership. Take initiative and don't be afraid to jump in to offer a hand to the Congresswoman and staff."
Jaleesa Cole
"I enjoyed being able to see the daily office operations of my member of Congress. We often do not see the hard work that goes into assisting a member of Congress and helping to meet constituents' needs. Being able to help my Congresswoman serve her constituents and make a difference was my favorite part of the job. "

Extremists And Errant Cleric Wrecking Karbala's Tourism-Based Economy
The southern Iraqi city of Karbala makes a lot of its money from religious tourism; it is the site of some of Islam's holiest shrines. But Iraq's security problems have seen many would-be visitors stay at home. And locals are divided as to when they will return.
Tourists have never stopped coming to the holy Iraqi city of Karbala before. Even after 2003, after the US-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein's regime, the devout still came to visit some of the sites considered most holy by Shiite Muslims.
And many of the city's millions of tourists came from neighbouring Iran, where most of the population is Shiite Muslim. Hotel owners and other businesses depended heavily on these tourists, many of them coming on package tours in large groups. But because of the events of the last few months in Iraq, numbers are dwindling and the one Iraqi business that has never been at risk, is not doing well.
"This place used to be full of visitors and everyone working was happy and enthusiastic," says Ali Mahdi, who owns a modern hotel in central Karbala. "But now we just feel bored. We have nothing to do. Everything has stopped because tourists have stopped coming to Karbala."
Boredom is not the only problem. Because of the turndown in business, Mahdi doesn't have enough to pay all of his employees. After delaying salaries for some time, Mahdi has had to lay off some.
"I also have problems paying water and electricity bills, which are usually very expensive, as well as taxes," Mahdi complains.
Hotel owners like Mahdi believe there are two main reasons for the decline in tourist numbers in Karbala. Firstly the security problems in the country after the Sunni Muslim extremist group, known as the Islamic State, managed to take control of various parts of the country, including the northern city of Mosul.
The other main reason is the clashes that have started between followers of a more radical Shiite Muslim cleric, Mahmoud al-Sarkhi, and Iraqi government security staff. Hundreds of al-Sarkhi's followers have been arrested and his office has been destroyed.

Building a Killer Go-to-market Strategy for your AppDCI
Even the best-laid plans fail to come to fruition if all the proper wheels haven't been put in motion. This is why even the best apps fail. In fact, most apps fail. It's simply not enough to have a great app idea, more is required. This is why building a solid go-to-market strategy is in your best interest if you want your app to be successful. Keep in mind that less than 1% of consumer mobile apps are considered financially successful. This is why it behooves the serious app developer to prepare their app for success.
Define Your Product
Make sure that you have a clear idea regarding what your app does and which users it would be best suited for. Be clear about its viability in the market as well. These are all highly specific details that require clarity and a fundamental understanding of the target user as well as the app. Once you've clarified these details about your app it will be much easier to determine what your app may need to keep it competitive.
Monetization & Business Strategy
Your business strategy is your roadmap to financial success as well as the longevity of your app, make sure that you have developed a plan that reflects the type of app that you have as well as your goals. The business strategy that you employ should be aligned with the type of product you are launching. This piece to the puzzle should line up with how you want users to acquire your app as well as your marketing plan. You need to be clear about how you plan on generating interests and encouraging downloads. These are all important details that should be worked out before you're ready to launch.
The Launch Strategy
This step requires critical thinking and strategy to ensure that your app launches in a manner that gives it maximum exposure. Consider the type of app that you have and its place in the market. What type of users will more than likely gravitate to it? Is this type of app hot in the market right now? These are all questions that require critical unbiased thinking and planning. The way you launch your app is instrumental in how successful it will be and even how much attention it will garner.
A solid go-to-market strategy is what you need if you want your app to be in the percentile of apps that actually make it. Make sure that you have adequately defined your product and its viability in the marketplace. Determine who your users will be so that you know how to court them through strategic marketing. The strategic planning shouldn't stop there, however. Make sure that your plans for the monetization of your app are well thought out, this goes for your business strategy as well. No stone should be left unturned. Once there is clarity in the initial details carefully plan your launch strategy. How you introduce your app to the world will determine whether or not it survives.

On 25 April, the Foreign Minister of Latvia Edgars Rinkēvičs met with the Foreign Minister of Canada John Russell Baird to discuss the situation in Ukraine, the relations with Russia and the bilateral relations between Latvia and Canada.
The ministers expressed a common position that Russia's actions in Ukraine are unacceptable, and there is no doubt that Russia is responsible for destabilising the situation in Ukraine. The parties were united about the measures to be taken to deescalate the situation. Foreign Minister Rinkēvičs indicated that in response to Russia's aggressive actions, concrete steps must be taken to strengthen the security and defence of NATO allies in the Baltic region.
John Baird confirmed that Canada takes seriously the commitments under Article 5 of NATO Charter and stands with Latvia and Baltic partners in this complicated situation. Together with the allies, Canada is ready to provide assistance to the people of Ukraine in strengthening democracy, human rights and security. "By joining efforts, the European Union member states, Canada and the U.S. can achieve more," Latvian Foreign Minister Rinkēvičs indicated.
In the context of bilateral relations, Edgars Rinkēvičs and John Baird were of the one mind that signing the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement is a matter of priority and would significantly expand opportunities for bilateral trade. The ministers commended Latvian-Canadian cooperation, including economic relations, and accentuated the cooperation potential in the aviation sector and that of mineral extraction. Canadian Foreign Minister expressed satisfaction that Latvia's national airline AirBaltic is currently using the aircraft manufactured by Canadian company Bombardier and voiced hope that the successful cooperation will also continue in the future.
During the meeting the parties also discussed preparations for the upcoming NATO summit in September and other issues on the international agenda, including Syria, Afghanistan and Latvia's Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
The previous bilateral visit by a Canadian foreign minister to Latvia took place on 7-9 September 2001, when the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canadian John Manley made an official visit to Riga.

Federal election 2019: Canberra Liberal candidate Mina Zaki hits back over dual citizenship concerns
Liberal candidate Mina Zaki says it's "not fair" people won't take her word that she is no longer an Afghan citizen, saying she is not obliged to show people documentation she says proves it.
"I did have presidential approval [of renouncing citizenship] but I'm not obliged to bring it forward," Ms Zaki told ABC radio on Monday.
"Why can't my word be taken? Why do I have to go through the extra step as a migrant? That's not fair."
The Liberal candidate for Canberra moved to Australia from Afghanistan as a child. Her parents and grandparents born in Afghanistan. While she has submitted some documentation to the electoral commission, she has so far refused to reveal further documents that she says show the process was complete.
An expert in diplomacy and Afghan politics believes she could be in trouble saying it is "absolutely clear" the document she sent to the electoral commission was not a finalised renunciation.
Ms Zaki has denied that she is an Afghani citizen, but has refused to release correspondence with the country's government that showed the citizenship had been renounced.
In order for Afghan citizenship to be renounced, it must be approved by the nation's president on the recommendation of a council of ministers.
Ms Zaki said the issue of dual citizenship was an attempt to cast doubt on her campaign.
"I've answered this question [of dual citizenship] the best I could and the Prime Minister has answered it. No answer that we give is enough," she said.
"I wont be sidetracked and I'll keep doing. To be honest, this is an attempt to cast doubt on my campaign.
"Unfortunately, a person from a refugee and migrant background is having to go through all of this, because people couldn't pick anything else to pick on."
Ms Zaki was required to lodge documents to the Australian Electoral Commission about her citizenship renunciation like other candidates, after changes were brought in following a string of MPs being ineligible for parliament due to dual citizenship.
The Liberal candidate said she was confident should the matter be referred to the High Court.
"If the matter goes to court, I'm very confident of a successful outcome, so I have no issues or concerns about it, and I'm looking forward to the outcome of it," she said.
Professor William Maley from the Australian National University isn't convinced the translated document confirms Ms Zaki's citizenship of Afghanistan is actually renounced.
"It's a recommendation that the renunciation be approved. It is very clearly not a document that gives final effect to a request for renunciation because under Afghan citizenship law that requires a presidential order, which normally requires six months to be produced," Professor Maley said.
Professor Maley also pointed out an issue in the translation of the original document from the Afghan government. The English version says "the applicant's national identity is no longer valid" but Professor Maley said the full phrase was the national identity card.
The cancellation of a national identity card could be considered similar to the cancellation of an Australian passport, Professor Maley said.
"But the cancellation of a passport does not constitute the elimination of citizenship."
The seat of Canberra, which has reduced in size following redistribution and the addition of a third lower house seat in the ACT, is considered a safe Labor seat, which is held on a 12.8 per cent margin.

Join us on a tour today to explore the interiors of a modern suburban residence full of surprise. The interiors were designed specifically to meet the requirements and desires of the client and the rest of the residents. By respecting all the resident members' dreams and preferences, a home rich in diversity has been created. The home holds many surprises in the form of creative custom designs which enrich the home and make it soulful. Maulik Vyas Architects based in Ahmadabad, India have successfully designed the interiors to be personalised and unique, making it a place the residents can truly feel at home in.
We hope you will find some interesting ideas and refreshing inspiration for your home through this tour. Let's have a look at this beautiful creation shall we?
A TV in the bedroom provides the simple luxury and comfort desired by the clients. The rustic wood paneled TV wall display is lit up from behind, making it an eye-capturing focal point and also providing a background light for the TV when the rest of the lights have been switched off. A framed up photograph of the clients on the wall personalises the bedroom, while the TV cabinet is decorated with a metal sculpture.
A suede headboard in grey and brown give this bedroom that extra special soft touch, silky smooth, and simply blissful. The spotlights overhead further enhance this cosy, warm feeling. The linen and bedding follow the grey colour scheme with the exception of some subdued pink stripes. Imagine waking up in this beautiful room.
A fiery chandelier illuminates this living space in a warm glow, creating a cosy ambiance with its simple elegance. This living room is segregated from the rest of the downstairs area with an intricately carved out custom designed room divider, creating niche areas and snug corners that are diverse and captivating. On the other side of the room divider is a dining area, which we will have a look at later.
Pictured here we see one of the home's living rooms—vibrant, bold, and earthy at the same time. The combination of blue, white, and brown makes up the colour scheme of this social space, while geometrical patterns add visual interest and stimulation to the laid-back atmosphere. A multi-toned wooden coffee table is embellished with blue and white stones matching the blinds and the bubbly, stripey throw cushions, while an earthy brown sofa provides a comfortable resting place.
In another social space in the home, a unique and natural wallpaper has been used to decorate the walls. A creamy coloured background with a textured pattern of branches in the forefront gives this resting space a delicate, natural touch. Darker shades of blue combined with white dress up the comfy sofa and make the living area cosy.
This dining area has a unique touch to it with its suspended false ceiling adding a focal point to the center of the dining area, as well as a splash of orange. A stone-top dining table is complimented by comfy black chairs with high backs, while a large glass sliding door offers a view of the garden outside and bathes this space in natural light too.
Many people often choose to design their bedroom with black and white as it is an extremely versatile colour scheme to work with, and you can add on as much or as little colour as you want without creating a disaster. The delicate patterns on the bedding give the bedroom a soft, comforting touch, while small details such as the three pendant lights hanging in the corner and the chic looking blinds make the room look hip and modern.
A rustic TV wall using dark wooden panels enhances the natural feel of this home and makes it cosier as well. The dark tone of the wood also adds a nice contrast to the white walls and strikes a harmonious balance in the interiors.
We hope you've enjoyed this tour as much as we have. For more home tips, inspiration, and interesting ideas, have a look at before and after: from farmhouse to magic family home—a fabulous makeover.

This was the last but not least day of my Olympic trip. Keep in mind this is the Saturday of President's weekend with blue skies and good snow, though no real powder for a week. I WALKED ON my first tram at 9:30 and got off my 4th at 10:45 to head for Mineral Basin. I did 6 runs back there as the February sun had softened the south facing terrain without it getting as sticky as during my usual March trips. I then ate lunch at Mid-Gad, also with no waiting. There was a modest crowd watching the Red Bull Huckfest (both skiers and boarders) in the terrain park at the bottom of the Gad Valley, but even there the chair waits were a minute or two.
The afternoon became gradually overcast with a light breeze on top. The entire front side of the mountain had packed powder conditions, and the bumps were noticeably smaller and fewer in number than normal due to lack of skier traffic. I even found a small stash of week-old powder off Tigertail. The only negatives for conditions were that the upper part of the Cirque Traverse had been wind-stripped, and the shadier bowls had flat light by mid-afternoon.
I have been skiing Snowbird regularly since 1981, so I utilized this rare opportunity to test endurance. I rode the last Peruvian chair at 4:30 and finished the day with 41,266 vertical feet.
Does it get any better than this? It might. I'm home now, but the Olympics last one more week and it is supposed to snow for 3 days of it. If you're skiing Utah this week, you may get a heli-quality experience.

So, like me, you also just ended the killer romance book, Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. The heart-melting story of the book which not only made you feel young but also made you fell in love with books all over again.
And now, you are already craving for books like Eleanor And Park. (Just like I did!)
I know it is impossible to replace one book with another. Despite, to calm our yearnings we still try to look for the read-alikes. So, here's my little effort for the recommendation of books similar to Eleanor and Park.
What to Read When You Are Searching for Books Like Eleanor And Park
Below are the suggested books related to Eleanor and Park and add these in your TBR list.
- The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
- All The Bright Places by Jeniffer Niven
- P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han
- Anatomy of a Misfit by Andres Portes
- Dumplin' by Julie Murphy
- The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli
- The Spectacular Now by Tim Tharp
- Anna and The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
- Divergent by Veronica Roth
1. The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
Before reading The Sun is Also a Star I didn't know that it was going to be like Eleanor and Park. Though after finishing it, I was again transcended to the world where despite the circumstances love finds its way to bloom.
2016 published, Nicola Yoon book is a love story that takes place on an unexpected time and with two unexpected people.
Natasha is a science geek who would be flying to some other country in just twelve hours. She is the one who not at all believes in fate or destiny.
Daniel aspires to be a poet who is overshadowed by his elder brother in every aspect of life. He thinks that meeting a girl like Natasha cannot be a mere coincidence. May be fate has something extraordinary in store for them.
The story is really indulging. You can actually feel the magic that spreads after every page.
2. All The Bright Places by Jeniffer Niven
Next up in the list is All The Bright Places. It has almost all the elements of the love story like Eleanor and Park. But still, you would end up feeling differently after reading both the books.
Theodore Finch finds every way out to end his life. On the contrary, Violet Markley is in the quest of reasons to live after facing her elder sister's death. While weaving the love story, Jeniffer Niven also talked about topics like depression, anxiety, and suicide.
Nothing can be more exciting to read about the love between two young adults who are completely opposite to each other.
3. To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han
Carrying on with the magic of romance novels like Eleanor and Park, next in the list is To All The Boys I've Loved Before.
The second book of the Jenny Han is the young adult fiction (or say complicated fiction). Lara Jean the protagonist of the story writes letters to her crushes which she decides not to send them ever.
Anyway, her younger sister sends them to her previous crushes turning Lara Jean's life upside down.
4. Anatomy of a Misfit by Andres Portes
I bet if you liked Eleanor And Park, then there is no way that you are not gonna love Anatomy of a Misfit. As Eleanor and Park, this story also starts in the classroom and unfold in the most romantic way.
Anika is the third most popular girl in the school. But she isn't the most perfect. Little did they know that she is a freak inside. The one who just cannot stop thinking about a guy who she saw on the first day of the tenth grade.
Logan is a loner. He is hot, bold, off-limits and a regular guy. The only thing that is ceasing Anika from being with him is her social status.
It's rare to find a book which is funny, thought-provoking as well as delightful all at the same time.
5. Dumplin' by Julie Murphy
Moving on with the list of books related to Eleanor And Park, Dumplin' by Julie Murphy proves to be a cheerful read.
I was literally devastated by the heart-wrenching story of Eleanor and Park. But reading this second novel of Julie Murphy feels like a cure to the heartache.
Dumplin' is a story of an overweight young girl, Willowdean. She is a funny, fearless, and unforgettable teenager. She feels the pressure of being a daughter of a former beauty queen mom. It feels like dream come true for Will when her crush too like her back.
Will's major step to prove herself by taking part in Miss Clover City beauty pageant really makes the story more interesting.
6. The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli
If you liked reading Eleanor and Park, then it seems that you are comfortable reading a love story with complicated emotions. So, The Upside of Unrequited is a perfect read for you.
It is a story of Molly Peskin who had only tasted the unrequited love from her crushes. Even after her twin sister's girlfriend, Cassie came in the orbit, Molly was adamant for not hurting herself in love.
Things changed when Cassie's hipster friend, Will came into the scene. If Molly can win him over then she will no more be lonely and can get her twin back. But, what when she falls for a chubby co-worker?
Read this interesting book and enjoy the complicated feeling of love.
7. The Spectacular Now by Tim Tharp
I know you want more and more books like Eleanor and Park. So, Spectacular Now is one of the kind.
The book chronicles the story of two young adults, Sutter and Aimee living in Oklahoma. Sutter is an extrovert boy whom you will always find partying. He has no plans for the future and absolutely no worries.
While Aimee is an academic star. She is shy, introvert, and not at all a party-goer. On one fine day, she found Sutter lying in her lawn. No one knows what this unexpected meeting leads to.
Grab this book and discover the wonderfully written and realistic romantic story.
8. Anna and The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
After reading Eleanor and Park, Anna And The French Kiss is the perfect novel to start with another school love story.
Anna Oliphant is the senior year student, forced to leave America where she holds everything dear to her life. It's very hard for Anna to move to Paris without her best friend, high school crush, and job.
In Paris, Anna's life changes when she sees Etienne St Clair. She tries to compete with his girlfriend just to secure her romantic dream.
A perfect blend of friendship and relationship, you are definitely going to love Anna and the French Kiss.
9. Divergent by Veronica Roth
Divergent by Veronica Roth is the last book in the list of books like Eleanor and Park. The reason it is like Eleanor and Park is the complicated romance between teenagers. Though, it comes with the dystopian twist.
The book tells the story of Beatrice Prior who alike other kids of her age have to choose one of the five factions. Beatrice has to make this tough decision and starts her new life battling long with her fellow mates.
Divergent is a trilogy which involves friendship, love, fear, and violence and this story can blow your mind.
Final Words
These are my recommendations for books like Eleanor and Park. But what after reading all these 9 books?
Don't worry! I understand that there are never enough books. So I am going to find you more books of the same category as of Eleanor and Park. I will soon update this article with more additions in it.
