How can a learning disability be accurately diagnosed?
As with any health condition, an accurate diagnosis is critical for developing an accurate plan of action. A comprehensive psycho-educational evaluation, conducted by an experienced, trained psychologist, generally includes:
- A thorough clinical interview with student (and parent of minor)
- Complete developmental, medical, social and educational history
- Thorough review of previous assessments and academic records
- Cognitive testing of both ability and achievement in math, reading & writing
- Additional tests of attention, memory and auditory & visual processing as needed
- Sufficient investigation to rule out other possible health, emotional or behavioral factors
After the initial in-depth interview, individualized testing sessions are conducted with the student, followed by scoring and analysis of the findings, composition of a detailed, comprehensive written report and goal-directed review session.
What types of learning disorders will be identified with an assessment?
When assessment results show a significant difference between a student's intellectual ability, age and education and their performance as measured by specific standardized tests, they may qualify for a diagnosis of a learning disability in a specific subject area such as a reading disorder (dyslexia), mathematics disorder or disorder of written expression. Learning disabilities may not be "subject specific" when problems with receptive or expressive language, auditory or visual processing or attention control contribute to learning disabilities across subjects.
What should I look for when choosing an assessment professional?
Assessments for learning problems may be conducted by qualified professionals of different backgrounds, including public school psychologists, credentialed learning disability specialists and licensed psychologists. Each is differently trained and certified, with different areas of expertise. In California, licensed clinical psychologists are trained health care providers who have a doctorate degree in psychology and a license to practice in accordance with laws and ethical standards. Before licensure, psychologists receive years of education and experience in both cognitive and psychological assessment. Psychologists are trained to identify and treat a multitude of problems which limit individual success, including learning disabilities and ADHD. When deciding you may also consider convenience, expedience and the cost of the testing. Speaking with several professionals is a good way to learn more and find the best match for your needs.
Are ADHD or ADD types of learning disabilities?
There are several distinct types of attention disorders which often have a negative impact on learning but the diagnosis alone may be insufficient for accommodations. A psycho-educational assessment determines if symptoms from any type of attention disorder cause sufficient difficulties to warrant a diagnosis of a learning disability.
How do you diagnose ADD / ADHD?
There is not just one objective test for diagnosing attention disorders. Rather, a trained professional relies on information from multiple sources in order to determine whether the client's symptoms create consistent problems in ways that most people of the same age and ability do not experience.
When trying to determine if a student's problems are related to ADHD, a good clinical interview with the student is essential. Standardized rating scales are often used as well to rate the responses of the student and parents, teachers and others who know the student well. Cognitive tests are also given to obtain valuable information about information processing and memory deficits related to ADHD. Finally, because students with ADHD and learning problems often have other problems and disorders, Dr. McPhee assesses whether a mood disorder, anxiety or other stressor may be present.
Data from a comprehensive assessment for ADHD is also valuable as a baseline measure of how much ADHD is impacting the student, which is helpful for tracking progress and change over time.
How long does an assessment usually take?
Because each assessment is designed to meet the specific needs of the individual student, the scope and duration of the assessment vary. In general, a comprehensive diagnostic assessment involves a 1 hour interview and 2 testing sessions of approximately 2 – 3 hours. After the tests are scored and interpreted, Dr. McPhee discusses the detailed comprehensive report in a follow-up conference, most often within 2 weeks of the testing.
Are the same tests administered to all clients?
No, each case is unique. The choice of tests depends upon the reason for the referral and the needs of the student. Dr. McPhee is experienced with certification and assessment requirements of most colleges, testing agencies and licensing boards and will review any test requirements with the client at the onset. All required tests will be included in assessments for accommodations.
How long will the assessment report be valid?
It was once assumed that testing needed to be updated every 3 years to be considered valid but recently some colleges and universities have suspended this rule, when adult versions of the tests were administered. Clients are advised to review the requirements of their specific school or agency prior to testing.
What happens to information gathered during the assessment and who has access to the report?
Working with a licensed psychologist is always a confidential relationship. No information about clients, including test data and reports, is ever shared without the expressed written consent of adult clients and parents of minors, except where required by legal limits of confidentiality.
Will health insurance cover the cost of a psycho-educational assessment?
Dr. McPhee is a private pay, out of network provider and does not accept assignment from health insurance agencies. She requires a 50% deposit of the agreed upon estimated fee at the onset of testing and the balance to be paid at completion upon release of the report. After full payment, clients may request a "super bill" which is an itemized, detailed statement of services, diagnoses and billing codes, for submission for possible reimbursement.
Won't it damage a student's reputation and chances for college admission to have a diagnosed learning disability?
Most colleges and universities acknowledge the value of a diverse campus community, where innovation, discovery and determination are encouraged. There is no discrimination against students with learning disabilities and many well-known, intelligent, creative and successful individuals were once diagnosed with a learning disability and have publically described their experience. It remains a personal choice, but many students with learning disabilities share their experience in personal statements when applying for admission so others may appreciate their resilience and determination.

Rating: 3.15 / 5
Price: $1049.00
Year: 2016
Level: 4
Gender: Female
Waist Width: 115
Tip/Tail/Waist: 141-115-130
Lengths: 177,185,193
Stability at speed: 3.36 / 5
Hard snow performance: 2.10 / 5
Crud performance: 3.65 / 5
Flotation: 3.89 / 5
Forgiveness: 3.00 / 5
Overall: 3.15 / 5
Stable and forgiving? Most skis are either one or the other (or neither). The BMX 115 is both. It handles hard snow and crud with reassuring power and solidity underfoot, but it's never a difficult ski to manage. Its Hard Snow score is especially amazing given its width. Or maybe not, considering the brand:
Tip any Kastle on edge and it knows what to do. It's not exactly a playful ski, but nor is it ever punishing. Larson: "The Everyman's Kastle. Quick swing weight for tight turns, but the Kastle lover can still open up the throttle."
NOTES: The BMX115 is the widest ski in Kastle's Freeride series, with a 141 mm tip, 115 mm waist, and 130 mm tail. It also has a whopping 22 - 26 m radius. This is the most-powder oriented ski Kastle makes, so if you're planning on charging super deep snow, this is one of the company's best offerings for you.
The Freeride series is Kastle's widest and most powder-focused series. Its skis waists' range from 105 - 115 mm underfoot, and radii range from 19 - 26 m, built for deep snow and big mountain skiing. Woodcores made of silver fir are intended to stabilize the ski and promote smooth turns. Hook Free Shovel and Hook Free Tail technologies move the ski's widest points slightly inwards from the tip and tail, designed for better turn initiation and decreased hooking. Dual Rise camber profile is designed to float on powder and other varied conditions, opposed to a classic profile intended for just hardpack snow. Hollowtech technology hollows out the ski's tip, lightening the load and designed to further decrease chatter and other vibrations in the ski. Progressive rise technology gives the tip a gradual rockered profile, designed to float over powder and other various conditions away from the hardpack.
Kastle, based in Hohenems, Austria, was founded in 1924. Its U.S. headquarters are in Vail, Colorado.

When did Mitt Romney become a conservative? (Part II)0
By Rawlein G. Soberano
GERMANTOWN, MD (June 1, 2012) — Recently disclosed tax forms of three family trust funds from Mitt Romney, his wife and their adult children show scores of trades in companies whose business operations are inconsistent with Republican Party stances that Romney favors on Iran, China, stem cell research, abortion and other issues. His family trusts kept some of those holdings and repeatedly bought new ones till 2010 when they were finally sold off.
The continuous trading between 2006 and 2010 raises questions why the investments continued for 3 more years, even after Romney said in 2007 that the trust would sell off any conflicted holdings. Those trades came during the period when Romney has sought to convince voters of his conservative Republican values. He is a CINO (conservative in name only). The trades also raise questions about whether any of the transactions were vetted for possible conflicts or negative political perception before they were made.
It is not difficult to figure why Mitt Romney lost in the South. Richard Land, the leading figure in the Southern Baptist does not even consider him and other Mormons to be Christians, and compares Mormonism to Islam. Franklin Graham, son of the respected evangelist Billy Graham and president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association expressed a similar view about Romney and his Mormon faith in his interview at MSNBC.
Land and Graham will be shocked when they find out that their fellow evangelicals play a big role to elect the first non-Christian president in this country. Their credibility is shattered if they go out to support him. This was very visible in the primary results in southern states which rejected him loud and clear in favor of Santorum, and to a lesser degree, Newt, who won SC and GA. Santorum finally endorsed him through email at 12 midnight, a bizarre way of supporting a presidential nominee while making sure it's the least effective in terms of results. It is equivalent to a non-endorsement.
When push came to shove, Santorum told his conservative supporters they might as well vote for BHO if he is not the nominee, made worse by one of Romney's staffers who brought the image of the Etch and Sketch toy. What we see now of him may not be the same in the fall. Just shake it and start it all over again, describing accurately the type of politician Romney is who will say or do anything to win, a palpable character flaw of a non-conservative.
Santorum reiterated his own position on issues as firm, solid and non-changing, win or lose. He did not let Romney get away with his shallowness when the latter said that he is going "to run as a conservative" versus "I am a conservative." It is form, style, show and proceed-where- the-wind blows versus content, commitment, authenticity and character. Ouch!!
Foster Friess, the mutual fund executive, bankrolled Rick Santorum's Super Pac (Red White and Blue Fund) and stood behind on the stage as Santorum basked in the glow of his triple victory in Montana, Minnesota and Colorado. He helped conservative commentator Tucker Carlson launch the political Web site (Daily Caller) in 2010 with a $3 million investment and has since funded more cash to the Caller in the second round of financing.
The Daily Caller, News Max, Red State and other hyper-partisan far-right Web sites all seem to be in the business of throwing red meat to the Republican base. They still haven't seemed to figure out that the comprehensive Affordable Healthcare Act is the real name of the bill that the uneducated "dittoheads" call Obamacare. They live in a very strange world permeated with hate.
There are millionaires who cannot stand the President for one reason or another, and there are consultants who are drooling to take their money to do their bidding, deliver the coup de grace and profit from it. They hired a black front man, Larry Elder, a conservative talk show host from Los Angeles whom they paid $25k, to be supported by other black conservatives (as long as the price is right) to protect themselves from being labeled as racists, which they are. They would not have done this to a white guy — pay him $25k (slave wages) from a $10 million budget. This racism is evident everywhere in various forms in the GOP!
Santorum called WMR the "worst Republican" in the country to put up against Barack Obama. Romney admitted it was a normal process in the primaries and not a sign of a fractured party. It's not the fault of the Republican Party that Romney turned out to be a fink, who cannot connect with the average American. He thinks he can buy the election in the same way he bought the primaries. He tries to underscore BHO's record which is already public, but when the Obama people do the same about his record, he calls it character assassination.
He maintains the premise that the top 1 percent should operate on a different set of rules by hiding the fact that he and his kind, among others, pay only 15 percent or less on their income versus the rest of Americans who pay 35 percent. Romney has serious character flaws as a recidivist serial flip-flopping principles-reviser who changes positions to satisfy right-wing extremists that control the party.
GWB finally gave WMR his much-awaited, though flat endorsement of the GP standard-bearer in less than five words, which sounded more like it came from Calvin Coolidge, "I'm for Mitt Romney" before the elevator door closed after him. Republicans acknowledge the party could best be served by not reminding voters of the Bush legacy of gaping budget deficits, two wars and record low approval ratings resulting from tax cuts for the rich, slash public education, slash environmental protection, gut Medicare and Social Security, reduce public services, do away with regulations of the financial industry, use religion to get the working-class and middle-class to vote against their own economic interests.
Who would want to advertise these in their political platform? His eight-year tepid presidency (thanks to Karl Rove) merited no more than fleeting reference from Romney and his rivals in the debates, campaign stops and interviews. WMR is a typical tax-and-spend fake conservative like the Bushes.
Will he go and succeed by going the Santorum route to cement his position as the de jure leader of the conservative movement by being its presidential nominee in 2012, or something similar without being considered a RINO?
Mitt Romney is again found on both sides of the Wall Street regulations debate to protect the American worker. It's not fair to bet people's money to generate profits, and when things go wrong, to throw the problem on the lap of taxpayers. One of his advisers (Eric Fehrnstrom) told NBC that Romney is not opposed to regulation as long as it is effective and streamlined. "It should not be cumbersome and should not act as a wet blanket or a damper on the economy."
This statement amounts to favoring regulation without being in favor of it, open to moving the other way in case of opposition, to please everyone. This is the statement of someone without balls, afraid to make a stand on issues.
The GOP today is the stronghold of racists, Obama haters and birthers. Romney even went a step further by embracing the Grand Dragon of the supreme birther of the east coast, Donald Trump, the egregious buffoon!
Be ready for the attack dogs of WMR (who do it for the money) which is well received by his campaign which starts to profile his divisive nature by taking credit for the bailout of the auto industry that he opposed and pretends to be a job creator when he was completely opposed to it. He tried to create a chasm between Obama and Clinton, whose legacy, he claims, has been destroyed by the liberal BHO. He accused BHO for turning his back on Clinton's policies, e.g., welfare reform, middle-class tax cuts — becoming the reincarnation of the Snake of the Garden of Eden. Remember Fred Davis, the man behind the losing ads of Carly Fiorina in California and Christine O'Donnell in Delaware?
Now he wants billionaire Joe Ricketts, founder of Ameritrade and Chicago Cubs Baseball Team, to ante up to bring down BHO, a right-wing hate rhetoric, designed to get into Ricketts' pocket. This ad was made four years ago linking Rev. Wright with BHO which McCain turned down. His group is confident that if it was shown in 2008, BHO would never have won. As of late, it was also rejected. These consultants make money by selling dirt, true or false, on others to interested parties.
WMR is a dud; he has no honest bone in his body. He loves the attacks against the President even if he knows they are inaccurate or false, e.g., the woman who said the "President should be tried for treason." What treachery has BHO committed? Is it treason to be black?
Instead of correcting this falsehood, his deafening silence was construed as agreeing with the ignorant woman. As Thomas Aquinas put it, silence can be construed as consent — "Qui tacet, consentiri videtur!"
John McCain may be a rusty old man, pushed to a corner by his submissive, timid reaction to the Tea Party, but had the guts to set right what was wrong when he corrected a mistaken supporter that BHO was an "Arab" (and what it implies) and corrected her for her comments. Romney is no different from Palin, Bachmann or Santorum, all losers and will never be elected to national office. Because McCain would not go along with their evil strategy four years ago, they labeled him a crusty old politician who often seemed confused, frustrated with a campaign just as confused.
They come up with a categorical statement that BHO failed (because they are not part of his administration), and talked about the misguided influences of his formative years (says who?) that have made him this way. The bottom line is that they're looking for some deep-pocketed right-wing benefactor for the plot they are preparing to launch in Charlotte at the Democratic National Convention.
Bringing back the memory of Rev. Wright is a long shot to nowhere. Their goal is to get to the convention, supported by their minions of lapdogs who'll do anything for money, to attract attention, heavy press, two weeks of national television, social media and a long-standing Web presence to run through the elections.
What they have not anticipated is the number of defenders who stand by the president to make sure that the public is aware of his record to be proud of, with a list of his accomplishments in spite of the active obstruction and malicious lies coming from the GOP Taliban, Tea Party activists, women-haters/vaginal probers and big military spenders. He gives conservatives a bad name in that his actions show lying is like breathing to him.
For Romney to profess he is a conservative doesn't make him one. Besides, we now know that he'll say anything in order to get elected. He gets an F as a conservative for being a Fake one.

Bergen Point
Bergen Point is a point of land that lends its name to the adjacent neighborhood in Bayonne in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States.[2] The point is located on the north side of Kill van Kull at Newark Bay. It is the section of the city closest to the Bayonne Bridge.[3] Historically the term has been used more broadly as synonymous with Constable Hook, from which it is geographically separated at Port Johnson.

The area was connected to Staten Island with a ferry as early as the late 17th century, and was later developed as a resort.[4][5] In the late 18th century it became more prominent as a ferry landing for travellers between New York City and Philadelphia.[6] The Bergen Point Lighthouse, built offshore in 1849, was demolished and replaced with a skeletal tower in the mid 20th century.[7] A charter was granted for the construction of The Jersey City and Bergen Point Plank Road in 1851.[8]
Governor of New Jersey Jon Corzine announced on May 6, 2006, that funding was in place to extend the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail system to Eighth Street. Work was completed and the station opened in January 2011.[9]
A large portion of the point was once site of a Texaco plant, which was cleared and is slated to become a residential and recreational area along Newark Bay and Kill Van Kull.[10]
The Latourette House in Bergen Point was the birthplace of Samuel Francis Du Pont[11]

Crowns and bridges have been staples of general dentistry for generations. However, innovation has not bypassed these popular restorations. In fact, today's dental crowns and bridges are more beautiful, durable, and versatile than ever.
Restoring teeth with dental crowns
The familiar dental crown, also called a cap, fits over a tooth like a thimble. It shrouds the tooth in high-strength porcelain, providing both functional and cosmetic restoration.
Dental crowns are most often recommended to:
- Restore and protect a tooth following root canal treatment
- Repair a tooth that has been broken or fractured
- Support a dental bridge
- Correct a misshapen tooth
Replacing teeth with dental bridges
Crown-and-bridgework is one of the most popular treatments for replacing a single tooth. Similar techniques can be used to replace several teeth, though less common. A fixed dental bridge is comprised of crowns, which are permanently attached to a false tooth. Once in place, the false tooth fits exactly where your natural tooth was. It quite literally bridges the gap in your smile, restoring aesthetics and chewing ability.
Dental bridges let you smile with confidenceVideo Transcript
What to expect – the procedure for crowns or bridges
The first step is a consultation and oral evaluation, to determine if a crown or bridge is right for you. The actual procedure only involves a few steps, and a couple of appointments.
- We begin by preparing the tooth or teeth for crowning. This involves removing decayed material and shaping the structure. Impressions are taken to ensure an ideal fit of the new restoration.
- A temporary crown is attached to each tooth being treated. This protects the prepared tooth while your permanent restoration is being fabricated.
- The new crown or bridge is created in a dental laboratory, using high-strength porcelain. The color is adjusted to match your natural tooth enamel for an indiscernible restoration.
- During the next appointment, the temporary crown is removed. The permanent restoration is evaluated for fit and appearance, adjustments are made if needed.
- In the final step, dental crowns are affixed to teeth. You are ready to show off your new smile!
Implant supported crowns and bridges
Modern implant technology has given rise to a new class of dental crowns and bridges, which are not attached to teeth at all. These specially designed restorations are lifelike ceramic replicas of natural teeth, which attach to tiny titanium posts implanted in the jawbone. A crown replaces a single tooth, while a bridge replaces multiple teeth.
Very friendly, knowledgeable and competent team! It's always a pleasure going in for check ups.

Step out in style with Indian jewelry collection
All that glitters in our country is Indian jewelry which is exquisitely handcrafted in precious and semi-precious to fit our budgets. It is a part of our custom to adorn ourselves with jewelry to complement the women apparels we are stepping out in. People have moved to more comfortable outfits and similarly so has the taste in jewelry.Necklaces
Have to get ready for a party but not impressed by your outfit? A beautiful necklace is all you need to uplift your look. A stunning choker or a long hanging neck piece can be equally trendy if paired correctly with the clothes that you are wearing. If you are wearing ethnic or traditional clothing on a daily basis then silver, oxidized or terracotta jewelry can become your go-to savior. For a more formal or a bigger event, gold plated or heavy silver jewelry can do the trick. Look around and you will see women sporting the '90s classic: choker. But with a twist, literally and figuratively. You can see them on the ramp, in your college, or at night clubs; they can be paired with absolutely anything. A heavier metallic choker for the night and a lighter one in basic colours for the day.Earrings
The gold and silver market in India is worth more than $60 bn and why are we not surprised? Because we have grown up in households with women wearing jewelry even to go out to buy groceries. So it comes only natural to us to highlight our best features by wearing the right accessory. You will barely ever see any women without wearing beautiful earrings, big or small. This statement pieces not just move the focus to the right places but also highlight your neck and your face. If you are not in the mood to experiment, you can go with smaller studs or the classic pearl drops to pair with any women apparel. But, if you want to really leave a mark, then go for big chunky ones. Contrast or coordinate. The choice is yours to make.Bracelets & Bangles
Bangles are festive, colourful, cheerful, and denote happiness. They are worn by every married woman in our country to complement Indian sarees. But the rest of us are not being left behind. Bracelets and bangles, matching with your outfit, can really give you a traditional look and feel. You can go with everyday gold or silver or even metal bangles. But the joy of buying glass bangles is also immense. It always fills my heart, just the beautiful colours, and chimes, of glass bangles. But a lot of designers are also using chunky bracelets to style their models as they make up for any lack of style. Delicate bracelets can be worn with formals or styled with dresses whereas bigger ones blend perfectly with western or indo-western styles. You can find the right pair online or in a shop near you.Rings
Cocktail rings were all over social media, all of last year and we think that they are here to stay. The chunkier they are, the more attention they get. We take it literally when it comes to selecting rings. You can find them set in both precious and semi-precious stones and can be worn with absolutely any kind of women apparels. Delicate rings are a classic. They can be worn on a daily basis, to work, party, or to keep unwanted attention away; if you know what we are saying. Investing in rings is a great idea as they can be worn regularly and then passed on as family heirlooms. They look stunning as part of wedding dresses and other events, both big and small. You can start of by buying something small and then see how you like it.Anklets
The little tinkle these anklets make is the sweetest sound to the ear. Earlier anklets were worn by women as part of their married life but not anymore. Girls and women alike are sporting different kinds of anklets and with any outfit that you can think of. These come in absolutely all settings, styles, materials, and budgets. You can start trying out from the ones woven out of thread or wool and go up to those set in precious stones. Anklets are an absolutely must with Indian sarees or part of your wedding dress. You can get the ones with ghungroos or go even with mirror work. They all look absolutely stunning. Whether you are wearing shorts, dresses, denims, or any women apparel, you cannot go wrong with an anklet.Popular Searches:

THE latest pay rises for federal politicians and senior public servants may have been sugar-coated with assurances of cuts to non-salary perks, but it's unlikely they'll taste sweet to the taxpayers who have to foot the bill.
In the midst of all the stern talk about trimming back services to the public in order to keep the government on track for its much-vaunted budget surplus, a $2200-a-week pay rise for prime minister Julia Gillard might seem audacious.
Similarly, while the Coalition seldom lets a week go past in Parliament without moaning about the industrial relations system's alleged "inflexibility" and onerous overprotectiveness of wage earners, an extra $1600-a-week in opposition leader Tony Abbott's pocket could raise an eyebrow or two.
Even the lowly backbenchers will be taking home an additional $846 a week, which could easily prompt many ordinary Australians to wish they could have a chance at earning just the pay rise component of the politicians' salaries.
Top public servants are sharing in the largesse, with the treasury secretary, for example, to receive a series of pay increases from the present $540,000 a year to $805,000 by mid-2014.
That mightn't rankle much, if it weren't for the perception that the increasing politicisation of the public service has resulted in some senior roles taken, not by long-term career public servants with a thorough grounding in their areas of responsibility, but by short-term contractors connected to the politicos by partisan or family relationship.
Much is being made of counterbalancing savings being made by the planned axing or trimming of some of the most notorious perks that politicians have been enjoying. The much-abused "gold pass", is just one example.
Many taxpayers may question the bona fides of these cuts, when hundreds of past recipients will retain their entitlements, albeit with a reduction in the number of free trips they are allowed to make.
Most Australians will never be comfortable with politicians' regular hefty pay rises unless some evidence begins to emerge – and none has, so far – that paying higher salaries attracts better candidates.
It's just not fare
WHILE one government-funded independent tribunal recommends paying more money to politicians and senior public servants, another is advocating more increases in public transport fares.
The standard dance-step, where the Independent Prices and Remuneration Tribunal recommends a certain fare increase (up to 10.6 per cent) but the kindly state government approves a smaller one (5.4 per cent), is being performed by the Coalition just as neatly as its Labor predecessor ever did it.
In the Hunter, where motorists pay a registration levy to fund transport improvements in Sydney, where infrequent buses wind through time-consuming routes and passenger trains struggle to find spaces between coal trains, the fare rises are just another nail in public transport, driven by a distant and misguided hand.

USDNOK made a five-wave drop from the 8.674 level, and found a base at the 8.51 region, from where an a-b-c temporary pullback started to form. Possible resistance can be near the 8.59/8.60 region, where Fibonacci ratios of 50.0 and 61.8, and the lower channel line can react as resistance.

Get ready for Mikael to hate on this because he really does. Brayden is pretty keen on it, though. Some would say this episode features "two sides of the same coin," or some other cliche way of saying opposing views about a singular thing. KINDA LIKE THIS BOOK IS TRYING TO DO WITH RACHEL'S PERSONALITY. GET IT???

It's a scary world out there, parents. I know you don't need me to tell you this. You probably spend most of your day worried about how your child will navigate school, adolescence, and eventually the real world.
With the prevalence of social media and the 24-hour news cycle, we now know more than ever about the evil in the world. This does not help with our parental anxiety.
In recent months, it seems that every day a new case of sexual assault breaks on the news. On one hand, it is good that women are able to tell their stories, find solidarity and, hopefully, closure after enduring such a tragic event. But I know seeing these cases on the news day after day does not do much to ease your fears about sending your child into the world. It simply adds to the long list of things that you worry about.
And for parents of daughters, this is especially troubling. Ninety-one percent of sexual assault victims are female. But I am not writing this to scare you. I actually think that as a parent you can have hope in such scary times.
I say this often because I believe it is true: Parents, you have more influence over your child than anyone else. You have more influence than social media and your child's peers, teachers and coaches. This means when it comes to seemingly uncontrollable events, such as sexual assault, you have the power to not only intervene but also to help prevent.
If we want to ensure our daughters are safe and protected from sexual assault, we have to raise sons who know what it means to respect a woman and her body. And moms, you are some of the best ones to do this.
Sons learn so much from their mothers. Perhaps the biggest lessons are these: wisdom and responsibility. As women, we have an intuition that tells us what is right for our kids. It's built into us. That's wisdom. As the stabilizing force in our families—the ones who have given birth to and fed our children from birth—we also have an innate sense of responsibility. Because of this, our sons often learn these two important qualities from us.
In a culture where being manly trumps being wise, and improving one's macho status matters more than being responsible, we mothers know that we have our work cut out for us when teaching the lessons of wisdom and responsibility to our sons. This is why it is crucial that we do this. Men who are wise and responsible value all human life, male and female. Men who are wise and responsible put others first. Men who are wise and responsible see others as whole humans beings—body, soul, and spirit—not just a physical body.
So how do we instill wisdom and responsibility in our sons? We model it ourselves. We trust our guts and intuitions, and we stand firm in doing what we believe is best for our kids as they are growing up. Then, when they are older, we can challenge them to follow us in our behavior. We do this by implementing strong boundaries and by speaking up.
If our sons are about to make a destructive decision, we tell them. If they have broken a rule, we enforce the consequences, all the while ensuring him that we are allies, not enemies. Our sons need to know that we have their backs, even if it doesn't seem this way.
Moms, when you are strong with your sons they will respect you and the rules you've put in place and, eventually, they will see how wisdom and responsibility are required for setting boundaries and sticking to them. This will instill in them the ability to value all human life.
You may not think you have this much power or influence over your son, but trust me, you do. More mothers need to believe this, today more than ever. We need to be sending strong sons into the world, not in the physical sense, but in the emotional and spiritual senses. This is what will keep our daughters safe when we're no longer there to protect them.
So yes, parents, it is a scary world out there, but you have the power to make it a better place. Raise strong daughters and strong sons who love and value others.
If the next generation of children leaves their parents' homes believing in and valuing all human life above their own, they will be the ones who change the world, and it will be because of how you influenced theirs.

Chapter 5 | Previous | Next
The 'sharp, cruel teeth' of Rex the Alsatian were ready to tear into any who dared intrude upon the mysteries of Stanton Farm. Located somewhere in the Dandenongs, east of Melbourne, the farm seemed run-down, disused almost—except for the barn. There, two young men were working in secret upon 'a sleek, crimson-coloured aircraft' of unusual design. The wings seemed too small, and the engines were missing, and yet this streamlined craft conveyed an 'overwhelming sense of power and speed'. More rocket than airplane, this was 'the most amazing aircraft of our time'—the Firefly. 1
The designer and builder of this remarkable craft was Simon Black, hero of a series of children's books written by Ivan Southall in the 1950s. Simon Black was an inventive genius, who combined his work as a motor mechanic with daring deeds in defence of country and empire. Together with Rex and his trusty navigator, Alan Grant, Simon piloted the Firefly above and beyond the frontiers of Australian imagining: into space, into Antarctica, even into China.

We referenced corporate fraud under the federal False Claims Act in a recent blog post, noting in our September 27 entry that federal and state regulatory authorities have "long been concerned with fraudulent business activities, especially those essentially deemed as stealing from the general public."
As we further noted in that post, the government willingly interacts in select cases with private individuals having inside knowledge of fraud, sometimes intervening in so-called whistleblower or "qui tam" lawsuits and sharing money that is recovered from wrongdoers.
A recently announced settlement involving a major Texas corporate entity is quite representative of the manner in which fraud-driven whistleblower lawsuits often proceed and are resolved.
The case involves the global energy firm Shell Oil Co., which is domestically headquartered in Houston.
Like many other oil companies, Shell owns and operates gas stations, truck stops and related facilities across the country, with a large number of those being in California.
Environmental authorities in that state have a public program pursuant to which operators can apply for reimbursement following cleanups of underground storage tanks on their properties.
Shell has done that over the years, although, according to a whistleblower, with a twist: It allegedly collected payment for its remediation efforts on 100 tanks from an insurance company, and then engaged in double dipping by seeking to tap funds from California's public reimbursement program.
That didn't sit well with regulators, who now refuse to pay Shell a penny for what might otherwise have amounted to about $150 million. Moreover, the oil company is also now on the hook for about $20 million in penalties, some of which will go to the whistleblower who alerted authorities of the attempted double billings.
The matter emphatically underscores that an insider with knowledge of business fraud can materially affect an important public matter while at the same time profiting from his or her intervention.

The 15th ABW (Air Base Wing) at Hickam Air Force Base Hawaii was in operational control of Johnston Island until the Early 1970′s. It was then given over to the Defense Nuclear Agency who held control until it was returned to the 15th ABW on October 1, 1999.
The Defense Nuclear Agency is now renamed the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) as is based in New Mexico.
Management of Johnston Atoll Transfers to Pacific Air Forces
Host management of Johnston Atoll (JA) transferred from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to the Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) on Oct. 1. PACAF has delegated host management responsibilities of JA to the 15th Air Base Wing at Hickam AFB, Hawaii. JA is a military installation located 717 nautical miles southwest of Honolulu. JA's primary mission is to support the U.S. Army's Chemical Weapons Storage and Destruction (JACADS) programs.
The atoll consists of four small coral islands. Johnston Island is the base for all the atoll's operations and management activities. There are approximately 960 civilian and 250 military people living on Johnston Island, the main island, and approximately 100 visitors performing temporary assignments at any given time.
The Army's JACADS and weapons storage missions are the atoll's major tenant activities. Other tenant activities include the Army-Air Force Exchange Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and various contractors supporting host and tenant missions. Tenant activities will continue uninterrupted by the transfer.
DTRA has operated and maintained the atoll since it became a Defense Department agency on Oct. 1, 1998. Prior to that an agency which consolidated into DTRA had the responsibility to maintain the atoll. The host management function is not a mission in DTRA's charter; therefore, the transfer was undertaken. PACAF accepted the JA operations and management mission because the atoll is in the command's area of responsibility and the Air Force holds real property accountability for the atoll.

"I have 5 teenage daughters, and I learned the hard way – it's difficult to talk to any person under the age of 25 without the presence of a cell phone. Marc Ostrofsky"
The quotation by Marc Ostrofsky mentioned above epitomises both the frustration and the reality of the Millennial generation. It's easy to get irritated with teenagers because they always have their eyes glued to a mobile device. However, cell phones do not have to solely be a negative part of a teen's life where we, as parents or responsible adults, feel the need to scream at them every time we see them on their phones. In fact, there are many advantages to accepting the fact that our children are attached to their mobile phones.
One of the biggest benefits of the fact that our kids' cell phones is a permanent extension of their bodies is that we can keep track of them, what they are up to, and who they are messaging any given time. How? Well, simply stated, there is this nifty little tool which can be installed on their phones, which enables us, as parents to keep track of their physical location at all times.
Our kids might object to having phone tracking software on their phones; however, the advantages far outweigh the teenage temper tantrums that might be thrown because they have to suffer the indignity of being watched all the time. The fact of the matter is that the world is a different place today, and it is better to keep track of our kids' cell phone usage and location so that we can intervene in case of an emergency.
Tracking a cell phone: A case study
Possibly the best way to explain one of the superb benefits of allowing our kids to have their own mobile phones, is to cite a recent example where a mobile phone saved a young man's life.
I am the parent of a young man who is a keen mountain biker and trail runner. His favourite activity is running or cycling long distances over mountainous terrain. He's safety conscious, always keeps his phone on him and does not take unreasonable risks. However, a couple of weeks ago, he went out to cycle and didn't come back. He had told me the general route he was going to take but not the specific directions. I won't go into the dramatics of the story (I am a mother, I worry by default). However, suffice to say, because I know he has a GPS phone tracker on his phone, it was a simple matter to log into the GPS tracking app's management console, find his whereabouts, and send the rescue crew out to his location and pick him up.
Final words
There is no doubt that the GPS phone tracker on my young man's phone saved his life that day. Finally, this case study is just one example where technology facilitated the happy ending to a potentially disastrous story. There will no doubt be lots more technology-based happy endings in the life of an extreme, trail runner and mountain biker.

gold ribbon
Yesterday I went and bought some gold lurex ribbon for the hang tags. The gold is playful, glamorous and eclectic... however it also counteracts the simplicity of the font and antique eyelet...BUT a little juxtaposition could be a good thing, right? ahh perhaps I'm reading too much into this?
The ribbon is still in the race but I still have some time...
Happy Friday everyone!!

No way, tags are very important and LOVE the gold! Yours looks great.ReplyDelete
Your tags are incredible! I'm with you: the juxtaposition of the gold with the typewriter font is genius.ReplyDelete
I'm so excited that I stumbled across your blog. If there's anything I can ever help with, let me know!
(Also, if you're interested, I'm hosting a giveaway for the Sex and the City 2 soundtrack on my blog - stop by!)
I like it. It's a bit unexpected, therefore interesting.ReplyDelete
I absolutely LOVE it!!ReplyDelete

Professional Statement
My research focuses on the history of science and ecological thought as it manifests in the discourses and literary forms of the British eighteenth century, with a particular emphasis on poetics. I am especially interested in the late century's emergent Romanticisms, their historical contingencies, and the technologies—mechanical and literary—that enable their ruptures. I have written mostly recently on William Blake, John Clare, and Tennyson, and am currently researching Scottish locodescriptive poet James Thomson. That said, my interests are somewhat transhistorical, vectoring most frequently into seventeenth-century philosophy and into the politics and print culture of the Victorian era, and into twentieth and twenty first-century poetics. I am also interested in aesthetics, especially Nietzsche and the Frankfurt School, as well as iterations of Marxist thought throughout the twentieth century.

Music Together present TREES
Event Navigation
14.00 – Sheriff Street Community Centre – Free event, no booking required
The idea for the performance was inspired partly by theories in A Day In The Life Of The Brain by Susan Greenfield.
The theme is expressed in two songs, Trasna na dtonnta, a traditional song picturing the image of a fine sunny seascape as an escape from loneliness and separation, and Trees, a newly composed song identifying freedom from internal conflict with forested landscapes
A video combining forest sounds and images of trees will be used as a backdrop in the performance.
By way of a 'thank you' to the community for giving us the use of the hall, the performance will be followed by percussion workshop for children of St Laurence's School.

Day vs Night
The day starts with the rising sun
Light encompassing the world.
Little thorns prick the skin
While trouble sleeps through the morn
Commanding the soldiers to stand ready
While they sift through the daily chaff
Evening begins to fall and madness will arise
Either drinking foul libations
Or swallowing pretty colored hypnotics
Turning their good hearts to darkness
Or the victims of the night.
But standing ever vigilant is justice in blue.
Covered by the calm and cool thin line of gold.

Job Nationalization
Teachers challenge Nahid
26 January 2013 Saturday 10:19:56 AM
DHAKA :: shikshak Karmachari Oikya Jote Friday challenged Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid for his comments on the ongoing agitated teachers on Tuesday.
The forum president Selim Bhuiyan made the disclosure from the ongoing movements in front of Jatiya Press Clubof in the city demanding the nationalization of non-government schools, colleges and madrasas in the morning.
Hinting the Education Minister's commentary he said there is no poetical objectives behind the movements of the teachers, the only demand is the nationalization of their educational institutions.
And there are the people from various ideologies attended our demonstration programme, he said.
Quoting the Education Ministers commentary he further said, I want to urge Minister to prove the political motives behind our movements.
The forum president Selim Bhuiyan also threatened to the government to refrain themselves from performing duties in the upcoming SSC exams.
Earlier, on Wednesday, shikshak Karmachari Oikya Jote threatened to the government to avoid national polls by keeping them away from performing their polls duties.
The forum president Selim Bhuiyan came up with the declaration from the sit-in programme in front of Jatiya Press Clubof in the city demanding the nationalization of non-government schools, colleges and madrasas.
The teachers perform their duties as polling and presiding officer in the national polls and if the demand is not fulfilled we will avoid polls, he said.
Hinting the Education Minister's commentary he further said, the Minister is giving the fake speech on their demonstration programme.
Announcing solidarity with their demonstration BNP standing committee member Barrister Moudud Ahmed said the quality of education will be increased if the teachers are given their respective honour.
Earlier, on the day Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid said that the demonstration of non-government schools, colleges and madrasas demanding nationalisation of their jobs is illogical as there are political motives behind it.
He came up with the disclosure while replying a query to the journalists in the Secretariat on Wednesday noon.
I am bound to say that there are the political motives behind their movement demanding the nationalization of their jobs, he said.
The primary level and secondary level are not the same as primary education is compulsory to all, he added.
Addressing the teachers he also said you should not be confused and do not spread illusion to make people confused.
Earlier, on the day traffic movement on the road halted traffic in front of Jatiya Press Club following teacher's demonstration of non-government schools, colleges and madrasas demanding nationalisation of their jobs from Wednesday morning.
Witnesses said several hundred teachers and staff from across the country started their sit-in programme around 8:30am, disrupting vehicular movement.
Earlier, the government enhanced the financial package for teachers on the MPO list. Now their house rent is Tk 500 from Tk 100.
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid disclosed this at a press conference at his office Tuesday.
Nahid added, the medical allowance has been increased from Tk 150 to Tk 300. In addition, the post of assistant librarian is now on MPO.
The Education Minister also announced, the allowance of independent Ibtadaee madrasa teachers has been increased from Tk 500 to Tk 1,000.

Take a trip down memory lane to discover the history and origins of Boom!
It was in 2017 that we began working on two major projects, a hardback book and a documentary film.
Each reveals the origins of Boom and how the festival came to be. As we delved through our archives, we discovered a wealth of photos, videos and flyers from back in the day. Every historic item had a story to tell. However, not every piece made the final cut.
So for the first time ever, we have collated this retrospective archive. It illuminates the days that are likely to ignite nostalgic memories for those who were there at the time - and it may also engage the hearts and minds of those who wished they were...
The Boomuseum is the resounding result of all this Boom Festival-related paraphernalia. It shines a spotlight on the past, and the journey that carried us to the place where we are at now. Come join us for a trip down memory lane.

N and I have been visiting the Wellington library pretty often – once or sometimes twice a week.
He goes to school 3 days a week. On his off days – Monday and Friday we go off on our expeditions! We visit the library or the indoor play area Capital E (which also has books, sponsored by Gecko Press) or Te Papa Tongarewa, Museum of New Zealand, which is super kid friendly and has a lot of educational/fun/interesting stuff on display in addition to the museum-y kind of stuff. Sometimes we just hang around at home and step out for a walk or to play in one of the many near-by parks or just for a mommy and son lunch 🙂
We bring almost 15 to 20 new books every week. N chooses some of them and I pick some. So we have a good mix and have been learning quite a lot of new stuff – a good mix of cultural, moral and fun element!
Here are some books that I really liked. Just for your reference (if you don't know already) N is 3 yrs and 10 mos as of now.
Topsy-Turvy Bedtime by Joan Levine
This could be just the story at our place on some nights! The last-minute requests for a glass of water or choosing which books to read or "not feeling sleepy" etc. It was fun reading this with N and he tried out some of the tricks too and appreciated the routine and effort it took to keep that routine in place! A good read if you want to change your child's perspective about bedtime routine (hopefully it shall help with that).
Benny's Had Enough by Barbro Lindgren
This is such a cute lil story about Benny a piggy who is fed up of being at home where his mommy keeps cleaning up his potatoes and sticks and then she wants to wash his dirty little rag cloth piglet in the washing machine (How could she even think of that, huh!). He decided that he doesn't want to clean up and leaves home to find a better one (didn't we all want to do that as kids sometime). But once he steps out he realizes that home is the best place to be and cleaning up is not that bad 🙂 Good read and N sort of empathized with Benny (yes I am a stickler on clean up after play!). But he enjoyed the read and told Benny "Cleaning up is fun Benny, you can sing a song while doing that." 🙂 The illustrations are very nicely done too!
Good For you, good for me by Lorenz Pauli
A book about a dormouse and a bear doing stuff that is good for both of them. Also passes on the message about sharing and taking turns 🙂
Green eggs and ham by Dr Seuss
I know this is an old Dr Seuss classic and N has read it long back, but he wanted to read again and so we brought it home. N loved reading it again – the whole rhyme and repetition was "awesome" in his words. And here is some trivia about the book.
A book about 3 naughty hares and how they keep blaming an imaginary hare Alex for everything they do, till a real hare named Alex turns up. Was one of those books with a moral lesson hidden and it helped. We have just started having a li'l bit of fibbing at home, along with stuff like "Not me!", "someone else did it", "pretend friend did it" etc. Reading this book where the hares realized its ok to tell people if something bad happened and not okay to blame anyone else – real or pretend helped!
Waiting for later by Tina Matthews
We really really needed a book like this. N being at the age he is, doesn't understand the concept of later! It is just now or never. As of now we have to give him clear pointers/reference points like when you are done having lunch and your bath then you can watch a cartoon. Simply saying "Not now, later" does not work, which is fine at this age but eventually he needs to understand. The book helps to learn the concept of waiting via a girl's story who has to wait, for later, to play with her family and while she waits she understands that later is not that bad at all 🙂
We have also started bringing books that N can read on his own. So these are small and thin books with not too many words on each page and a lot of repetition of words. They have different levels to suit self-readers of all types – beginners, intermediate and advanced. He reads one of these series every night (or most nights) and then I or S read 2 other books for him.
We have slowly started the journey to read independently, lets hope N loves that and gets hooked on to it!! Amen.
