Attucks, at 38th and Dearborn, closed in 2008. It's in the middle of open tracts of grassy land. This corridor was once home to thousands of public housing families. They are gone and so are many of the schools that used to be around here.
Chicago Public Schools says it's working with the city to bring a potential development to the Attucks site. But so far, city officials are mum.
Attucks is one of eight shuttered CPS schools still on the books from years past. That's not counting the additional 43 empty buildings from the latest round of school closures last spring. That's such a large and varied collection that Mayor Rahm Emanuel has appointed a committee to help determine what to do with those structures.
But if the city's past success with selling unused school buildings is any sign, .the mayor's committee has a big job on its hands.
"There's a lot of great opportunities and great ideas, but having those individuals that will step forward to say, okay, I'm going to be the catalyst and really run this operation will be the key to the success of whatever happens in all the communities. No, the city can't afford 50 community centers. It's just not realistic," said Wilbur Milhouse, chair of Emanuel's school repurposing committee.
Milhouse has an engineering and construction company and deep civic connections. There are pictures of himself with the mayor and with President Barack Obama on the walls of his downtown office. Recently, he and his wife opened a restaurant on west Grand Avenue. Other committee members are from the MacArthur Foundation, city hall and community development groups.
Milhouse said by the end of this year, the school committee will have a blueprint for how people can submit ideas for transforming the empty buildings, or the land they're on.
"We're not looking at specific schools and specific recommendations for those schools. We're looking to put together an overall principle or set of rules or outline that anyone that has an idea for Overton school or the school over here can participate in the process."
If that sounds too much like baby steps, consider again the sheer number of new closures: 42.
"That's why it's somewhat difficult in looking at the range of schools that we have and the range of neighborhoods," he said.
Many of the schools are built solidly. But others could need demolition. The empty schools tend to be in areas already struggling with blight and not a lot of economic activity.
"Market really determines all things. Maybe we can think about having a free market sort of open session for a time to see what the interest is of the free world. Do we have a lot of different development groups, not just big business developers but also individuals who want to create an arts incubator or recreation center?" Milhouse said.
He said other cities with closed school buildings have converted the space into shared artistic space, for instance.
Historic closures
Chicago's latest wave of school closings is the largest in recent U.S. history, and has ignited strong opposition. But some Chicago residents see, well, the possibility of lemons turned into lemonade.
Asiaha Butler recently attended an Englewood community meeting with Congressman Bobby Rush and U.S. Senator Mark Kirk. She pitched several ideas to roaring applause.
"We have closed schools. That can employ people to the maintenance. They can make sure it's not vandalized. We can take back our own schools and they can be repurposed for something else. Why can't we win a community center, an incubator?" Butler asked.
CPS doesn't want to be a landlord. And it hasn't done the best job so far of converting or selling 20-plus parcels of unused buildings and vacant land. A closed Roseland school is being leased by a nonprofit for community use. So far the building appears to be housing only cobwebs.
And that should give more pause to the committee.
Jam-packed former school
The former Price Elementary on south Drexel is jamming on a Thursday evening. Glorious Light Church hosts $5 Zumba classes. Pastor Michael Neal says the church pays $1,200 a month in rent.
"It's definitely serving our needs because our mission has all been to be connected to and work through the school and be in the community. We're not as pressed to have this big church. We're perfectly fine here and especially know it's something we can invite the whole community into," Neal said.
Glorious Light came to the school when it was still open in 2011. Price closed shortly after that and the church started using the school more days a week earlier this year. There are Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and financial literacy classes.
Neal's office smells inviting as potpourri lingers in the hallways. The building has a curious mix. A church, K-9 training and a youth center all share classroom space.
"It is quite awkward because they have over 200 kids come in. So when it comes to the maintenance then those are the issues you really have to deal with. 200 people using the bathroom is a real concern. It's no longer picking up paper. You literally have to go in and scrub and clean," Neal said.
Picking up trash is one thing but Neal says the wear and tear on these buildings means long-term maintenance is critical.
As CPS figures out what to do with its new round of closed schools, he says the district needs to invest in full-time building engineers to keep them up.
For now, at least the children and dogs are not on the same floor.

Adolescent Therapy
Teens and tweens endure many physical and emotional changes in a short period of time as they navigate through the developmental and social inconsistencies of their lives. While it's wonderful if your children come to you with issues, it is less surprising if they don't as this age group naturally moves towards increasing autonomy, independence and privacy as they develop. Plus, they are prone to impulsiveness and rebellion, especially with parents.
As an adolescent therapist, I can provide the extra support they need to manage these changes. I also assist you in developing a game plan for applying boundaries in dealing with the digital, social and academic pressures they face. I help teens and tweens begin to understand parent's perspectives – something you are capable of doing, but they may be incapable of hearing from you just now.
My expertise, as an adolescent therapist, is connecting with teens. I am also highly skilled in helping parents navigate the variety of challenges raising teens presents including: unpredictable moods, impulses and reactivity, peer relationships, academic, athletic and college pressures, experimentation, divorce/blended families, self harm, social media and trauma.
My adolescent therapist practice is devoted to helping with the following issues:
- Academic Demands
- Adoption
- Alcohol & Drugs
- Athletic Demands & Performance Issues
- Anxiety, Panic Attacks, OCD and Phobias
- Depression & other Mood Disorders
- Divorce Issues & Impact
- Grief & Loss
- Eating Disorders
- Managing the DIGITAL Landscape
- Parent / Family Relationships
- Parenting Strategies
- Peer Relationships
- Self Injury
- Separation Anxiety
- Social Media
- Stress Management
- Transition to High School, College & Beyond
I have found success in working with adolescents by establishing a foundation of mutual respect through clear communication and boundaries. The hope, as an adolescent therapists, is that within this trusted environment, as they feel heard and open up, they can tolerate challenges to their thinking and widen the lens their world view.
A "pseudo maturity" is apparent earlier than ever for pre-teens. Their developing brains have not kept pace with our "all access" society and "full disclosure" peer culture. Progress towards healthy decision making may be aided by an understanding of their role in their own family systems within the larger culture. Depending on the age of your teen, your involvement may be imperative to their improving. In some instances, although your teen is exhibiting symptoms, there may be pieces of parental guidance necessary as a primary or secondary mode of intervention.
Parenting youth through adolescence can be a very tough job. While we know more than ever about child development, today's cultural influences and digital landscape have left most parents feeling less prepared and more scared than ever. Even the best parents have questions. In tandem with adolescent therapy, I will guide you in understanding adolescent development and behaviors more clearly. Together we will develop effective parenting strategies and satisfying communication between you and your children.
Parenting can be the most difficult, yet most rewarding of enterprises. One of the challenges is to be certain that the methods you are using result in the goals you are looking to accomplish with your children, as they continue to change and develop. Add to this the obstacles you face in terms of the larger social culture (i.e. information overload) as well as your own issues (i.e. reactivity; a natural tendency to personalize their behavior, utilizing brain science to understand how easily buttons get pushed!).
I will help you develop individualized parenting strategies to effect a positive change in your situation. This includes an educational component of selective books to read and specific techniques that will improve your ability to understand your child. Together we are literally translating the language between you and children. It is imperative to remember that more crucial than your words, are your actions.

Two unidentified victims died after a small private aircraft went down in Gillespie County. The accident occurred around 1:25 Thursday afternoon and, although emergency crews responded quickly and reported the site "under control" within an hour, they were too late to save any of the passengers.
Authorities have not announced what caused the crash but one factor may involve the proximity of a nearby airport. The plane crashed about a mile east of Gillespie County Airport - and the concentrated air traffic around runways often plays a role in aviation accidents.
One particularly dangerous problem is known as a "runway incursion." A runway incursion is anything that creates a risk of a collision with airplanes that are in the process of trying to take off or land. Some of the most common causes of runway incursions are pilot error, air traffic controller mistakes, and ground crew errors.
It is not clear whether this plane was a charter craft or if the passenger was an acquaintance of the pilot on a recreational or private flight. Regardless, the victims' family may have wrongful death claims against a number of parties. A more detailed investigation from the Federal Aviation Administration will likely establish more concrete facts about what went wrong and who might be to blame.

A $2.5 billion-a-year program to fund research by small businesses received a 2-month extension last week. The move gives the U.S. Congress more time to reconcile differences in how to revamp the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, which would have expired on 31 July without the extension.
The Senate and the House of Representatives have passed different versions of a bill to reauthorize the programs, which are funded by taxing the research budgets of 11 federal agencies. The Senate wants to grow the overall size of the program by raising the SBIR allocation from 2.5% to 3.5% over 10 years and the STTR allocation from 0.3% to 0.6%, while the House would like to see larger individual grants—up to $2 million for Phase II from the current ceiling of $750,000. The two houses also differ in how they would fix a 2002 ruling that limits participation by companies owned by venture capitalists. The Senate would reauthorize the programs until 2023, while the House bill would cover only 2 years.

A RAV4 Hybrid... finally
How long have we been waiting for?
Next week at the New York auto show Toyota will be revealing a hybrid version of its 2015 RAV4.
No details accompanied a teaser image and mere announcement that this would happen, but there is a relatively good chance it will borrow the powertrain from the Lexus 300h.
This is yet to be verified but the Lexus itself borrows underpinnings from the RAV4 and relies on a 2.5-liter Hybrid Synergy Drive full hybrid drivetrain.
Fuel economy from this Lexus compact crossover SUV varies depending on all-wheel or front-wheel drive versions. Less efficient AWD is EPA rated 33 mpg city, 30 highway, 32 combined. The FWD is rated 35 city, 31 highway, 33 combined.

Taking on the same opposition for the second time in a week, it was a satisfactory showing for the side under the caretaker charge of Michael Heap as they add build up momentum from a slow start to the season. Running in a total of 12 tries on a blustery day in the North East, it is a win that allows Thunder to maintain pace at the top end of the League table ahead of a tricky trip to Whitehaven a week on Sunday. It was a breakneck start for the hosts with four tries in the bank in the opening 15 minutes as strong running and good hands allowed them to score almost at will. They were off the mark after their first set thanks to Lewis Young, before Misi Taulapapa, Keal Carlile and Mo Agoro all crossed to finish tries that were created through clean execution of simple rugby skills. The only negative from Thunder's point of view to the opening quarter was the loss of Remy Marginet to an ankle injury, which resulted in Newcastle running a makeshift half-back pairing for the rest of the match. After failing to complete their first set of the day with a handling error on the floor whilst hunting down a fifth try, the Raiders brief respite was ended with Agoro employing some fancy footwork down the wing. Feinting a step inside, he expertly wrong-footed his opposite man to give himself an easy run to the line. It was the first of three scores in five minutes in another purple patch for the hosts and was followed with Cory Aston finishing off a simple two on one following a break in midfield before Connor Fitzsimmons took the reward from another good display of hands on the visitors' line. After a relentless opening half hour, Thunder began to misfire in the closing stages of the half, with the Raiders taking advantage and getting themselves off the mark through Sam Herron after their first real period of note in Thunder's half. Following a Steady opening to the second half, it was Thunder who opened the scoring through Young as the fullback came up on a sharp support line to back up a break through the midfield by Carne Doyle-Manga. It wasn't the opening of the floodgates that Young's opening try of the day signalled though, as the Newcastle had to wait the better part of twenty minutes before crossing again. Creating an overlap, it was Taulapapa who had seemingly increased his team's advantage, but with Agoro on his outside, the skipper unselfishly passed to his team-mate so he could claim his hat-trick. While not hitting the highs that they enjoyed earlier in the game, Thunder were able to stretch their lead over the remainder of the fixture, with Fitzsimmons' and Aston's second scores of the day coming either side of a close-range Alex Rowe effort. Newcastle Thunder Lewis Young, Mo Agoro, Misi Taulapapa, Kieran Gill, Tyler Craig, Remy Marginet, Cory Aston, Jack Aldous, Keal Carlile, Sam Luckley, Conor Fitzsimmons, Aaron Ollett, Liam McAvoy, Evan Simons, Carne Doyle-Manga, Alex Rowe, Harry Aldous Tries – Young (1, 43) Taulapapa (5) Carlile (8) Agoro (11, 17, 55) Aston (19, 78) Fitzsimmons (22, 63) Rowe (74) Goals – Marginet 0/1, Aston 4/11 West Wales Raiders Phil Cowburn, David Evans, Callum Mulkeen, Rinaldo Palumbo, Liam Clark, Liam Rice-Wilson, Tyler Hunt, Chris Vitalini, Morgan Rowlands, Sam Herron, Archie Snook, Michael Connor, Ashley Bateman, Dan Maiden, Ryan Shallish, Dimosthenis Kartsonakis, Kurtis Haile Try – Herron (34) Goal Hunt 1/1 Gallery

| 8.6°C Belfast
Roger Federer has refused to launch an all-out assault on the shaky second serve he believes Andy Murray "covers very well" in Friday's Wimbledon semi-final.
Federer was urged to "take advantage" of Murray's second-serve shortcomings by three-time Wimbledon finalist Andy Roddick, to keep his bid for a record eighth SW19 title alive.
Swiss second seed Federer eased past Gilles Simon in straight sets to book his 10th Wimbledon semi-final and a meeting with Murray, who coasted past Vasek Pospisil.
World number two Federer insisted Murray's second serve "can't be that bad", ahead of Friday's clash, a re-run of Wimbledon's 2012 final.
"We'll see," said Federer, when asked if he would attack Murray's second serve. "He's beaten me before with that second serve; it can't be that bad.
"He's beaten so many guys so many times. You know what I mean? It's something he covers very well: he's fast on his feet, he reads it well.
"He's one of the greatest return players we have in the game, and he's got a great first serve. He came through convincingly again, so he must be playing well.
"Plus he won Queen's; he's in full flight right now."
Roddick, in his role as TV pundit, said that Murray can ill afford to repeat the 64 per cent first-serve level produced against Pospisil when facing Federer.
Murray won just 56 per cent of second-serve points against his Canadian quarter-final opponent, but still prevailed 6-4 7-5 6-4.
The 28-year-old is unlikely to cope with such low statistics against Federer, who dispatched world number 13 Simon with ruthless efficiency, 6-3 7-5 6-2.
Federer set a record 116 consecutive service holds en route to his classy victory over 12th seed Simon, eclipsing the 111 mark set by Australia's Wayne Arthurs in 1999.
"It's nit-picking for sure, but the court position that's allowed (for an opponent) when he's able to stick a return is something that Murray's going to have to worry about against Roger Federer," said Roddick.
"He's someone who can take advantage of it: he's not scared to run around and can commit to hitting that forehand early."
Federer lost a five-set thriller to Novak Djokovic in last year's Wimbledon final, that record eighth title just out of reach.
The 33-year-old pipped Murray to the 2012 Wimbledon title, before the Dunblane native gained some revenge by beating Federer to the Olympic title later that summer.
Murray has restored top form after back surgery, but ran out of steam in his last meeting with Federer, at December's ATP World Tour Finals at London's O2 Arena.
Federer prevailed 6-0 6-1 but expects Murray to be in vastly different shape this time around.
"In the World Tour Finals, he came in tired," said Federer.
"He had won three tournaments back-to-back; he left everything out there making the World Tour Finals. It was not the Andy that usually shows up."
Federer admitted he was pleased to claim that stunning lengthy service-hold record, but also conceded he was "relieved" the hot streak came to an end against Simon.
"I've heard of it but then again I don't keep count when I'm out there," said Federer of moving past Arthurs' record. "I'm also relieved that I did get a break.
"I guess we're not going to talk about that anymore."

A virtual local area network, abbreviated as VLAN, is a collection of devices that are grouped together from different physical LANs and are configured in a way as if they are attached to the same wire. VLAN permits a network of computers and users to communicate in a simulated environment as if they are in a single LAN, sharing a single broadcast and multicast domain.
It helps in establishing security, scalability, eased network management and quick adaptation to changes in network requirements or relocation of workstations and server nodes.
VLANs are flexible because they are based on logical connections instead of physical ones.
VLANs allow multiple networks to work virtually as one LAN despite of their association with different IP subnetworks.
VLANs help in improving network performance by removing latency.
However, high chances of virus attacks persist as an infected system can spread the virus via the logical network to devices connected across multiple networks.
In this article, we will see why we use VLAN, how to set it up, its types as well as disadvantages. Let's begin with why we use them.
Why do we use VLANs?
VLANs have many advantages over traditional LANs. All these benefits lead users to set up VLANs.
They help in administration, reducing broadcast traffic, enforcing security policies as well as confinement of broadcast domains.
Lets see what they are.
1. Performance
Careful observation of network usage lets the network administrator create VLANs that decrease the number of router hops and augment the apparent bandwidth for network users.
A fact about VLAN is that it does not pass broadcast traffic to the nodes which are not a part of it, and thus, it automatically reduces broadcasts.
Access lists (tables, created by network administrators, listing which addresses have access to that network) offers the network administrator with a method to manage and control who sees what network traffic.
2. Logical grouping of end-stations
VLANs help to logically group many end-stations which are physically scattered on a network.
When users on a VLAN go to a new physical place but carry on the same job function, the concerned end-stations need not be reconfigured.
Likewise, if users change their job functions, then they do not need to change location physically. They simply need to change the VLAN membership of the end-stations to that of the new team.
This makes the end-stations of the users local to the resources of the new group.
3. Security
In the same network, outsiders may access sensitive data when its broadcasted. By setting up VLAN, one can restrict access as well as set up firewalls and control broadcast domain.
In this way, VLANs bolster network security.
4. Cost Reduction
VLAN aids in creating broadcast domains.
Also, VLAN decreases the requirement of routers deployed on a network to contain broadcast traffic. Thus, the concerned costs are reduced to some extent.
5. Flexibility
One can add or remove any number of hosts as per one's choice. Even, virtual groups can be formed based on department or job role rather than based on physical locations of offices.
Also, some organizations may like to set up VLANs for departments, especially for the ones having heavy network users (for example, multimedia, engineering, etc).
They may even want a VLAN across the departments concerning particular kinds of employees (like managers or salespersons).
6. Confinement of broadcast domains
Confining broadcast domains averts end-stations from listening to or receiving broadcasts not meant for them. So, doing this on a network greatly reduces the traffic.
Also, end-stations of one VLAN cannot interact with the same of other VLANs if a router is not connected between them.
How does a VLAN work?
Including VLAN support in a Layer 2 switch offers advantages of both routing and bridging.
A layer 2 switch is a kind of network switch or device working on the data link layer (OSI Layer 2) and uses MAC Address to figure out the path through where the frames are to be sent.
Layer 2 switch uses hardware-based switching methods to connect and transmit data in a local area network (LAN).
A VLAN switch, like a bridge, quickly forwards traffic based on the Layer 2 header. Like a router, it divides the network into logical segments, which offer better administration, security, and management of multicast traffic.
In a network, every VLAN has a VLAN ID associated with it, which appears in the IEEE 802.1Q tag in the Layer 2 header of packets transmitted on a VLAN.
An end station may remove the tag, or the VLAN part of the tag, in which case the first switch port to receive the packet can either reject it or insert a tag using its default VLAN ID.
A given port can deal with traffic for more than one VLAN, but it can support one default VLAN ID only.
The Private Edge VLAN characteristic allows you to set protection between ports located on the switch.
That is, a protected port cannot forward traffic to another protected port on the same switch. However, this feature does not protect ports located on different switches.
How to set up VLAN?
The following steps tell how network administrators set up new VLANs at a high level.
- Select a valid VLAN number.
- Select a private IP address range for the systems on that VLAN.
- Set up the switch device with either static or dynamic settings.
Static configurations need the administrator to allocate a VLAN number to each switch port while dynamic configurations require allotting a list of MAC addresses or usernames to a VLAN number.
- Configure the routing between the VLANs as required. A VLAN-aware router or a Layer 3 switch is necessary for configuring two or more VLANs to communicate with each other.
How to configure VLAN routing on a smart switch?
Following are the steps for creating VLAN interfaces:
- Determine the IP addresses which you want to allot to the VLAN interfaces on the switch. The VLAN interfaces should have IP addresses for the switch to route between VLANs.
When the switch gets a packet destined for a VLAN or subnet, it forwards the packet to the destination VLAN interface, concerning the information in the routing table.
Then, the destination VLAN interface transmits it to the port attached to the end device.
- Open the web browser.
- Enter the IP address of the smart switch in the browser address field. The default IP address is 192.168.0.239, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
- You should be prompted to enter a password.
- Enter the password in the Password The default password is password. They are case-sensitive.
- Click the Login button, and the System information screen will be displayed after authentication.
- Select Routing → IP → IP Configuration.
- Select the Enable radio button beside Routing mode.
- Click Apply to enable Routing.
- Choose Switching → VLAN → Basic → VLAN Configuration.
- Create a static VLAN by mentioning a VLAN ID and VLAN name, and from the VLAN Type menu, select Static.
- Click Add to add the new VLAN to the configuration.
- Select Routing → VLAN → VLAN Routing.
- Enable routing on the VLAN just created and assign an IP address and subnet mask. From the VLAN menu, choose the VLAN just created. In the IP address field, enter the IP address you want to assign to the VLAN routing interface.
In the Subnet Mask field, provide the subnet mask you want to assign to the VLAN routing interface. In the IP MTU field, enter 1500 (1500 is the default MTU size).
- On clicking the Add button, the VLAN routing interface is added to the configuration and becomes active.
- Repeat steps 9—14 for all VLANs you wish to designate as VLAN routing interfaces.
What are static and dynamic VLANs?
The network administrator creates a VLAN in the static VLAN, and then assigns switch ports to it. Static VLANs are also known as port-based VLANs.
The association with the VLAN does not change until the administrator modifies the port assignment. End-user devices become the members of VLAN, depending on the physical switch port to which they are connected.
The ports on a single switch can be allotted with multiple VLANs. Although two devices are connected to different ports on the same switch, traffic will not pass between them if the connected ports are on different VLANs.
A Layer 3 device (a router) is required to enable communication between two VLANs.
In a dynamic VLAN, the switch allots the port to a VLAN automatically using information from the user device like mac address, IP address, etc.
When a device is linked to a switch port, the switch queries a database to establish VLAN membership.
A network administrator must configure the VLAN database of a VLAN Membership Policy Server (VMPS).
When a device is moved from a port on one switch to that on another, the dynamic VLANs will automatically configure the membership of the VLAN.
Dynamic VLANs facilitate instant movability of end devices.
What are the disadvantages of VLAN?
Though VLANs help in improving the network performance, they have certain disadvantages as well.
- There are high chances of virus attacks on the systems because if one device is infected, it can spread the infection to other systems through the logical network.
- There are equipment limitations for larger networks as extra routers may be required to control the workload.
- When compared to WAN, VLAN may be more effective in controlling latency, but it is less efficient than LAN.
VLAN is a logical group of devices, workstations, and servers which behave to be on the same LAN whereas they all have different geographical distribution in reality.
VLAN improves the performance of the network as well as can control traffic patterns. It removes latency, thus saving network resources as well as augmenting network efficiency. It aids in issues like security, network management, and scalability.

In September 2016 I was invited to give music and song performances at the 1000 Voices Festival held at Bourke, in western NSW. Bourke is an isolated town in a shire the size of Denmark with a total population 0f somewhere about 3000 and on the boundary between the zones of (relatively) reliable rainfall where grazing and some cropping under irrigation are still viable (the latter in good seasons) and the arid zone. The iconic Darling River, part of the country's largest river system and once the highway for a bustling riverboat trade, still pervades the character and life of this resilient and warm-hearted town. As one of the artists in residence on a poet's trek that retraced the footsteps of Lawson and Ogilvie during the festival, I thought I'd better contribute something original, so I penned this simple tale during a dinner camp. For the non-Australian, Hughie is the bloke who brings the rain – especially violent downpours. In the latter years of the twentieth century he also assumed the mantle of a surfing god.
One man's creek is another man's Barwon
You see a lot of rivers as you wander here and there —
I reckon in my travels I've seen a decent share —
But one feller's "mighty river", is another codger's creek;
Try to tell him different, and he'll argue for a week.
The south-west's Avon River would be sneered at in the east;
And the Torrens? Strike me purple, it's a weird sort of beast.
More mud than flamin' water, like a claypan upside down;
And there's another one just like it, runs through Melbourne town.
I lived in Old Kentucky, of Stephen Foster fame —
Though the beggar never went there, he just liked to use its name —
And if I said "the river" when I spoke of Cedar Creek;
It kept the boys in Stamping Ground laughin' for a week.
To get to little Stamping Ground, you have to go across,
The South Branch of the Elkhorn Creek, where the buff'lo used to cross;
More water than the Murray — though nowhere near as long,
And wider, too, in places, with a flow that's awful strong.
A 46-inch annual rainfall, keeps her flowing well,
And it'll up and drown you, easy, when the summer storms give hell;
For what them durned hillbillies call a "summer shower",
Is the edge of a tornado, and a foot of rain an hour.
But still, it's just "a crik" to them, though it seemed much more to me,
The blow-in from the Old Brown Land, a place they'll never see.
But like us old-time Aussies, those hill-folk love a yarn;
They love to hear what life is like on someone else's farm.
And so we'd pass the evenin's, swopping tales—all mostly true,
Though sometimes lightly seasoned with a little lie or two;
They loved to hear my stories, of a country that, to them,
Seemed strange—well weird really— and far beyond their ken.
One night as I recall it, a memory slipped out,
Of the Darling down at Wentworth, in the middle of a drought.
I told 'em how that mighty stream, was down to three foot wide;
How the carp were wriggling up the banks, to pull grass from off the side.
I tried to tell them how, the mighty river gums,
Seemed to hunch their shoulders, as drought he country numbs;
And push their roots down deeper, into the drying mud,
To wait the Darling's blessing, as she brings another flood.
"And," I began — here I paused as all good yarners should,
To ratchet up the tension, make the telling of it good—
Here I ask indulgence, I should have taken time,
To do a little extra and fix that bloody awful rhyme…
"And," I said, and drew a breath, adding drama to my tale,
"When the mighty Darling River floods, she'd drown a bloody whale!"
"Thar h'aint be whales in rivers," the local cynic scoffed;
"He's a-paintin' pitchers, cuz you cain't read, hush your mouth, Clem Goff."
Rescued for the moment, I went on to tell them how,
The rains would always come at last – "Like it's doing here right now".
And then that sluggish river that they might call a creek,
Spreads out to cover acres by the million in a week.
Down she comes majestic like, a relentless, sliding flow,
Ignoring bends and channels, spreading as she goes.
The TV news might tell us that the "country is in strife";
In strife Aunt Fanny's bed socks! The country's come to life!
The livestock will get fat again, the wildflowers bloom;
There's money for improvements and for an extra room.
The outback wife will smile again, her old man not so gruff;
For when that river's banking, things never seem so tough.
It was Dorothea Mackellar said they "could not understand",
Our love for what outsiders see as barren, sunburned land;
Perhaps because they never wait, they never stick it out,
To see that Aussie miracle, the breaking of a drought.
They never know the joy that's felt along the Darling side,
When Hughie smiles upon us and sends the swift brown tide.
When life's transformed and the world's turned bright, all in a single week,
As the mighty Darling River proves, she isn't just a creek.

This Bloomin' Baked Caramel Apples recipe is the perfect fall dessert! They're quick and easy to make and deliciously sweet!
This post contains Affiliate Links. Please see the disclaimer here.
Have you guys seem Bloomin' Onions? I can't tell you for sure where they started, but the first place I've heard had them was Outback Steakhouse. I'm all for Bloomin' Onions, because yum! I mean, what's not to love? Crispy, fried onion-y goodness with a tasty dipping sauce. Yes, please!
So when I was deciding what apple recipes I wanted to blog this year, I kept coming back to baked apples. And apples crisp. And baked apples stuffed with apple crisp (yaaaaasssss!). But I have certain qualms about baked apples. Nothing major, just one little thing. I don't love having to cut my desserts the way I do when I eat a steak.
This obviously isn't a huge problem. I certainly wouldn't turn down a baked apple over my own laziness. But the fact remains. So when I was recently reminded the Bloomin' Onions exist the answer to my not-wanting-to-cut-a-baked-apple dilemma was clear: make a Bloomin' Baked Caramel Apple.
Since I have a surplus of apples hanging out in my kitchen at all times in the fall, I grabbed an apple and a knife and got to work. The cutting was slightly labor intensive, but really not terrible. I added a few pantry basics to give it a little bit of apple crisp-style filling and drizzled with some leftover prepared caramel sauce and I had myself a tasty little dessert!
So I made them and took some photos and I was pretty excited. And because I was being a little backwards, I did some research after I made and photographed as opposed to before. I'm not sure why, I think I got so excited that I just went with it.
When I eventually did a little research (specifically to see how people were cutting their Bloomin' Apples) I found that other people were cutting the tops off their apples before cutting the "blooms." I'm not sure why I didn't think to do that from the beginning but once I tested it out with that, it was much easier to cut (duh!).
I love that this recipe is easy to make for one single apple or for a crowd. I've written the recipe for 4 people, but you can find the measurements for a single apple in the notes. This is such a pretty and festive fall dessert with that "wow" factor that will impress your guests (when I finished photographing them, my mom and mother-in-law were waiting like vultures!).
I used Granny Smith Apples because I love how the tartness plays so well with the sweet caramel but if you have a different apple preference, then go for it (Cortland, Galas and 20 oz. varieties tend to bake up beautifully). One big, important tip: don't scrimp on the caramel- it makes this dish!
I also love these great fall recipes:
No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Mini Pies
This Bloomin' Baked Caramel Apples recipe is the perfect fall dessert! They're quick and easy to make and deliciously sweet!
- 4 good size Granny Smith apples or the apples of your choice
- 4 Tbsp. of rolled oats
- 4 Tbsp. of granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. of salt
- 1 cup of apple cider
- Prepared caramel sauce
Take your apples and cut off the tops.
Cut around the core (but not all the way to the bottom because you want it to be closed so the filling doesn't come out). Scoop out most of the core.
From there, you'll use your knife to cut 2-3 circles in the perimeter around the hole where the core was, making sure you don't cut all the way through to the bottom. It should look to have a bullseye effect.
Turn the apple over to the top is face-down. Placing the tip of your knife about a centimeter or so from the center of the bottom of the apple and cut down to the top of the apple. Do this all the way around the outside of the apple. Place them top-side-up into a deep baking pan.
In a separate bowl, mix your oats, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Divide the mixture between the four apples and stuff it into the middle of each apple where the core used to be.
Pour your apples cider over the apples so that it covers the booth of your pan.
Bake for 45-55 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle with caramel sauce. Enjoy!
If you are making a single apples, the measurements are 1 Tbsp. each of rolled oats, sugar and melted butter, 1 pinch of cinnamon and 1/4 cup of apple cider or enough to cover the bottom of the baking pan.

Buying a thesis online can be a tricky predicament. You don't want to risk purchasing something that isn't going to bring good results – and trust us, that's a pretty viable option on something as undependable as the internet. You want to be able to protect yourself from poor choices when you buy a thesis online. Only the best of the best writing sites like MсEssay should have access to your assignments! Luckily, there are four main things that you can search for when attempting to select a place to buy a thesis online – four simple things that can mean the difference between a great grade, and a disappointment.
These four things include:
- 1
Credentials. The only time you should really trust an online thesis-drafting source is when you have full access to their credentials. Proof of college education, certificates and other evidence pointing towards quality writers and top-notch professionals is your goal. If credentials aren't listed, ask. At the very least, you'll understand whether or not this professional companies 'expertise' comes from a valid source or not. It's your thesis – don't trust it to amateurs!
- 2
Examples. The best way to gauge the quality of an online thesis drafting company is to review the samples they display. All great online services should give you the option to view some of their past work. It's important that you see these examples, because they'll plainly show you the kind of essays and theses you can expect from the company. Spot inconsistency, poor communication or even grammatical errors in a sample? Try shopping somewhere else!
- 3
Fast paced. Odds are, you'll need this thesis in a hurry. Students typically use online thesis help when they're at their wit's end, struggling to compose something before a teacher conference. That's why you want a thesis service than can promise fast, as well as quality results. When you're looking for thesis help, find services that promise quick turnaround rates. Make them prove it through customer reviews and other evidence, and then try it out. Good thesis services should also be fast.
- 4
No scam warning flags. Scam warning flags include: questionnaires asking for unneeded information (social security number, bank account, etc.); an unwillingness to communicate directly to the client; a tendency to change site locations, or even a refusal to display credential, examples, profiles or other information on the company. If anything throws up a warning signal for you, avoid that site – it's better to be safe than sorry.

You have to put a excessive cuteness *warning* on that link! :)
If they received "grant money from a kiwifruit company", then why is their study any less biased than those studies you previously referred to that were funded by the salt or dairy or meat companies. Isn't the whole purpose of science to reach objective explanations by eliminating biases? If so, shouldn't we disregard all studies that are funded by corporations?
All studies are funded by someone.
True, but some people are bad.
Just like we should take studies funded by the Salt Institute with a grain of salt, we should take these findings with a grain of kiwi :)
The difference between this and the other examples you cite is what's the worst that can happen? Even if this data was totally fraudulent, the worst case scenario if someone follows this advice is that they eat a really healthy fruit and only get all its other benefits (even if it doesn't actually help with sleep). That's the wonderful thing about plant-based research!
And industry influence is rarely about outright fraud but about study design. One just has to be mindful about study sponsors to make sure the study wasn't constructed in a way to bias the results.
re: "One just has to be mindful about study sponsors to make sure the study
wasn't constructed in a way to bias the results. That is something for
which I am indeed constantly on the lookout."
That's what the average lay person (and according to Dr. Campbell, even the average scientist and medical professional) can't do for themselves / must rely on a responsible expert for. That you care about this aspect of studies is one of the reasons I love your work.
Thanks for taking the time to answer BPCveg's question as I think it was a good one. And you had a good answer too.
Well put Dr. Greger!
In reference to "industry influence is rarely about outright fraud. . ." I don't know if you (or anyone reading this) has ever seen this documentary on the business of cancer but it will open anyone's eyes to the corruption of the FDA, NCI (National Cancer Institute), ACS (American Cancer Society) and AMA (American Medical Association) and expose the outright fraud involved in Cancer treatment and the bias to ensure expensive, pharmaceutically based therapy and procedures.
Backed up from numerous hard statistics, peer reviewed articles, research and verifiable references.
Warning not a feel-good movie and will utterly disappoint one about the absolute corruption involved in the treatment (or lack thereof) of cancer.
Titled, "Healing Cancer from the Inside Out." A link for Amazon is below if you are further interested.
Thanks for your reply, though I have to disagree with you.
You yourself have provided evidence that certain plant products (e.g. coconuts and avocados) are of dubious health value – but you had to cut through a lot of conflicting studies to reach those conclusions. So how come you are so accepting of corporate sponsored kiwi research? Is it any more obvious that a kiwi is beneficial than a coconut? Same question applies for any animal product!
I hope you were joking when you said that "industry influence is rarely about outright fraud but about nuanced study design". Else it may be time to re-read 'How to Lie with Statistics' by Darrel Huff.
Corporations have no other interest than profit. They will bend-over-backward to skew research in their own favour.
I second the motion made by SFV below, which suggests that some kind of validity rating be provided to give your audience a sense of the credibility of any study that you report.
Great points Dr. Greger.
I am of the belief that eating fruits at night might disturb sleep. Would like to see a university do another study.
Are there frozen kiwi fruit available? Are these as good as the fresh ones?
Interesting, but I'm wondering if it's just the combination of sugar and fiber in the kiwifruit that are doing the trick. Low blood sugar levels can raise your cortisol levels and keep you up at night, one of the reasons a little milk before bed has been recommended for years. Would a glass of soymilk do the same thing? Maybe the Silk people should fund a study.
What about eating Kiwi fruit for diabetics?!
Fix your insulin resistance by eating plant based and suddenly you can handle a few kiwis.
Interesting for myself. But my mother 70 years old is suffering from insomnia. Unfortunately she has some kiwifruit allergy. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Let me sleep on that!
;-0 zzzzzz
Did that study have a control group or a placebo group? I can't tell from the abstract, but it looked like it didn't. Did the subjects know they were in a study designed to see if sleep could be improved eating kiwi?
I'd like to see the results of a study which subjects think is looking at whether kiwi impairs sleep. Probably they'd be up all night.
Did anyone else look at that time-lapse video of the baby and notice how underweight, colicky and covered with eczema he was for the first few months? I wonder if he had an undiagnosed dairy allergy. Poor thing. He did not look like a happy baby for quite a long time.
Hi Dr. Greger. I think it would be a big improvement if the videos could briefly indicate the limitations of the studies that are mentioned. There is basically no meaningful conclusion from a study with 24 subjects and no control group. Few people, if any, will be able to act on every study that you mention, so distinguishing well-designed studies and highly substantiated results and recommendations from methodologically weak studies and tentative conclusions would help viewers to focus on the most critical actions they can take to enhance their health. I know that's what you are aiming for in your longer video summaries. I also understand that time is very limited on the daily video clips. Maybe you could have a 1-to-5 type validity rating for the studies that you cite. Viewers without a research background or a strong grounding in nutrition issues might come away thinking the the China Study and the kiwi study are equally valid. That would be a shame. I don't want to end this comment without expressing my daily gratitude for the work that you are doing for the benefit of us all.
I strongly support this suggestion.
Can simply try 2 kiwis an hour before bedtime and see if it works for you! Like with anything else, one's man food is another man's bad meal.
Guess he does not ask for himself but "for the greater good".
Just remember, if you ate some watermelon earlier with your dinner (for your erectile dysfuntion), not to have kiwifruit for a bedtime snack—cross-purposes.
I'm the worst sleeper I know ever since childhood. Thanks very much for the research.
Too bad the starting image is of a baby sleeping on its stomach. This is not the recommended position nowadays — to avoid infant sudden death syndrome.
yes–face up to wake up! I've got three videos on SIDS.
Would you please look into and report on perilla seeds?
It seems they are now being hailed as the next big "superfood" with the "selling factor" being their Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio (allegedly 6:1).
Is there any truth to the claims or is this more hype?
Love the subtitles, but could they have a background so they're easier to read? Not that I actually READ them… but I'm thinking of others…
Thanks! Will try this instead of my regular 2 shots of Jack Daniels.
Kiwi vs Goji for sleep? I'm already enjoying 15 goji berries a day (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-prevention-of-age-related-macular-degeneration/) with a Brazil Nut (for Selenium and maxing the absorption of goji carotinoids). I'm curious how the melatonin content from my 15 goji (which I now enjoy 1-2 hours before bed: http://nutritionfacts.org/video/tart-cherries-for-insomnia/) compares to two kiwi for improving sleep. Can any educated guesses be made from the studies so far?
I heard this somewhere a while ago, and we started offering our two year old daughter kiwi as dessert after dinner – and she has slept much, much better since then! Could be a coincidence though, because I agree with some of the writer above, this study is pretty dodgy (no control group, could all be placebo effect), but because my daughter loves Kiwi anyway, we switched it from lunch to dinner. We experimented a bit (no kiwi on day x, kiwi on day y) and she does sleep better after a kiwi. And so do we. Could still be due to something else, of course – but I do recommend other parents to try this if their children (age appropriate of course, not infants) like kiwi and don't sleep so well.
Hi Dr Greger,
I have had just 6 hours worth of sleep first 3 working days of this week and I have to take today off as I am not able to function properly without a 7 hour sleep.
I saw in your other video on insomnia that Goji Berries are really good for you. We get just the dry gojis here. Do they have melatonin and help with insomnia as well?
Kiwis are kind of expensive, two for$1. I'm going to try banana peel tea before bed. I'll eat the banana while boiling the peel for 10 minutes then drink the water the peel was boiled in. Anybody tried this? Most of the "recipes" for the tea have you boil the banana with the peel on, but I'm not to keen on warm soggy banana.
I have recently started eating according to Dr Michael Greger's guidelines in HOW NOT TO DIE. I feel great in so many ways – digestion better, joints and muscles no longer tight and achey, etc. However, my SLEEP has gone out the window. I am waking hourly, often needing to go to the loo (to urinate), unable to totally settle into deep restorative sleep. In the past I have had irritable bladder from eating too much fruit so I am trying to focus on more veg rather than fruit in my wholefood plant based eating, in case this is the problem. The doctors have never found anything wrong as such. Poor sleep with frequent urination has been going on for a month and I am exhausted. Is there anyone who can offer me some support so I can get myself on track? I am unsure whether to try kiwis given the possible fruit/excess weeing link I have noticed in the past. But I am desperate to sleep!
Glad to hear you're doing well generally following Dr. Greger's guidelines, although I can appreciate your sleep problems. Because so many things affect sleep, certainly a review of those might be in order, recognizing that your assumption that increased fruit consumption may be contributing if fruits cause night time urination. If fruit shows a definite pattern of causing need to urinate at night, of course eating your fruit during the day makes sense, but you don't want to give fruit up.. Why not try to rule out other causes and do a test with kiwis as well? Fortunately, adding a few kiwis won't cause harm, other than possible continued sleepless night or two.
You've indicated you've consulted with doctors in the past for sleep problems. Were you given any advice about promoting sleep then? If your sleep problems don't resolve after practicing all suggestions you've been given (and/or ones reviewed in the articles below) perhaps visiting a sleep specialist might be appropriate. Best of health and better sleep to you,
So I officially started my vegan diet a few days ago. One thing I've noticed is that I have been sleeping terribly each night since. And it seems to be getting progressively worse. I fall asleep just fine, but I wake up multiple times throughout the night and have trouble falling back asleep. Nothing has changed in my sleep regimen or daily habits, so the new diet appears to be the culprit.
I consulted the almighty (google) and have found some articles linking lack of calcium to night time awakenings, lack of iron to restless leg syndrome, and various other deficiencies common with vegan diets to various other sleeping problems.
Would be very helpful if you could possibly do an article and/or video on the various sleep problems that can result from going vegan as well as the potential solutions.
While most of the studies I looked at cited how a vegan diet would enhance your sleep, I did find one reliable article that may provide some help to you:
https://www.pcrm.org/nbBlog/eat-your-way-to-a-good-nights-sleep In this article Dr. Bernard states "…high-protein plant-based foods, like tofu, beans, and lentils, are very nutritious. But if you're having trouble sleeping, try eating these foods earlier in the day." You might try this and also check out: https://sleepfoundation.org/sleep-topics/diet-exercise-and-sleep Do try these sleep enhancing tips, experimenting and perservering, so you can continue on your better nutrition path while still getting a good nights sleep!
Thanks for the follow up. My sleep regimen is pretty on point. I get a reliable 9 solid hours every night, which is why it was so obvious to me when the four days I began eating vegan just happened to correlate to the worst 4 nights of sleep I've had in months. The vegan regimen is definitely the culprit. As such, I'd rather fix the causes than to merely try to cancel them out with new sleep promoting habits/foods.
The articles I could scrounge up suggested that there is a correlation between calcium deficiency and night time restlessness/frequent awakenings. Another between Iron deficiency and restless leg syndrome, and another between both B12 deficiency and Vitamin D deficiency and poor sleep quality. Given that there seem to be no (or in some cases very few) good sources of these vitamins in produce/whole foods, it seems the only options are supplements, which have a pretty pitiful track record of being absorbed/utilized by the body. In fact, on multiple occasions throughout his book, Dr G looks as studies in which vitamin supplements prove to be essentially worthless, implying that all supplements are best avoided.
Given this, I have a hard time believing that the few vitamins not found in vegan foods (B12, D, Calcium, etc) just so happen to be the only vitamins that prove effective in supplement form. So basically what I'm wanting to know is if there are any good, solid vegan sources of Calcium, B12, and Vitamin D. And if not, is there any evidence to suggest that these vitamins in supplement form are, conveniently, effective?
Thanks :)
Would kiwi juice work as well or must it be the actual complete fruit ? I ask because I suffer chrocic insomnia and would like to try this and drinking it down quick would be less unpleasant than having to chew through it slowly….

There is a lot of buzz around the upcoming iPhone 8 that is expected to make it to the public this September. The 10th-anniversary release from Apple, iPhone 8 is already a special release in itself. Nevertheless, it is expected to come with a host of new features and a major redesign is on the cards too. So, what do we have for you about the latest sensation from Apple? Well, as there are lots of rumours going around about the upcoming iPhone, we'll go into some of the major features and design changes that the new iPhone is expected to come with. Let's discuss everything step by step.
What's New In The iPhone 8 Design?
The first change that we'll be having in the design of the new iPhone is that Apple will ship iPhone 8 with stainless steel frame and glass-backed body that last came with iPhone 4s, as stated in an article on Apple Pit.
It has been rumoured that there will be three iPhones coming up and the stainless steel frame will be used in the high-end model, the iPhone 8. The other two will be less expensive iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus and they will both have same glass body but will use the aluminium frame. But according to a Japanese source, glass body will only be featured in iPhone 8 while the others will continue with an old aluminium body.
According to reports from Sonny Dickson, the new iPhone will have Touch ID sensor towards the back. But it doesn't coincide with what Bloomberg says i.e. the iPhone is going to have a stainless steel frame and a glass body. A dummy mockup of iPhone 8 also appeared on Twitter that suggested Apple will keep Touch ID on the front but it will go under the glass.
Touch ID Or Facial Recognition?
In fact, this is one thing that has created a lot of confusion before the release of the new iPhone and there have been lots of rumours floating around this. It was first reported by Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI Securities that Apple plans on eliminating the Touch ID entirely and there will be Facial Recognition to take its place. Though there have been a lot of rumours about Facial Recognition coming in iPhone 8 until this claim from Kuo, there was no such claim that it is completely going to replace the Touch ID as a security measure.
But after Kuo's revelations, Bloomberg is also suggestive of the same as they said Apple will be introducing a better security system which will allow customers to make payments via Apple Pay and unlock the iPhone through facial recognition rather than fingerprint sensors. The new technology will be robust enough and nobody will be able to trick it to get access to the system by showing a photograph, for instance.

In an accidental leak, Apple has confirmed itself that it is working on such facial recognition security system for iPhones. HomePod firmware hinted on what Apple plans to release iPhone 8. The references to the infrared facial recognition in BiometricKit framework – the one used for the Touch ID – confirm that the new iPhone will rely on facial recognition.
Code name that refers to facial recognition is going to be "Pearl" apparently but still, Apple hasn't confirmed that and we don't know what it will be called after the launch of the new iPhone 8.
How Is The iPhone 8 Display Going To Be Like?
iPhone 8 is rumoured to include OLED display as Apple earlier signed the deal with Samsung that is expected to produce the OLED displays which are expected to feature in Apple's devices expected to debut this year.
With these displays in place, there won't be any need for backlighting which is normally used in the conventional LCD displays. What this translates into is that Apple will be able to trim down the weight and thickness of new displays that will be used in the iPhone 8. Though OLEDs are flexible, Apple plans to introduce flat 2.5 D display in upcoming iPhone.
With OLED displays in iPhone 8, we can expect to have truer colours, improved contrast ratio, better viewing angles, quick response time as compared to LCDs to have better refresh rates, and improved power efficiency for maximizing the battery life of the device.
Talking about the type and size of the display panels, there are several rumours floating around and many believe that there are more than ten prototypes being tested for that. Despite all the rumours around, it seems that we're going to have 5.8" screens in iPhone 8 whereas the active display will be a bit smaller than that.
What About The New iPhone 8 Processor?
We previously had A10 processors in Apple's devices, and now it will be A11 chips debuting with all the 2017 iPhones. The production started back in May this year. Though TSMC was scheduled to begin producing A11 chips in April, it was delayed because of issues with the 10-nanometer FinFET manufacturing process. We expect the new processor to be faster as well as power efficient as compared to previous A10 chips.
Will iPhone 8 Offer Support For Wireless Charging?
Amongst the earliest of rumours that we heard about new features in iPhone 8, there was one that suggested Apple will be introducing wireless charging as it was working on the long-range wireless tech back then. But with latest revelations, it seems that Apple is going to incorporate inductive-style wireless charging in latest iPhone 8. In fact, it has also been confirmed by Wistron – the Apple Supplier – that one of the new iPhones is coming with wireless charging.
It is expected that iPhone 8 will feature Qi wireless charging tech that will be WPC-based and the users will be able to enable it through an optional accessory that they will have to buy in addition to their new iPhone.
With all its new features and capabilities, iPhone 8 is going to be revealed to the general public in September this year. There are many rumours around about the design and features of the new release from Apple and, in fact, many of them have been confirmed somehow. So, just wait until the second week of September as we'll see the public reveal of the device by then. Stay tuned and expect a wonderful new iPhone!

Where Special Kids
Find A Family
Our Goal is for each disabled child to reach his or
her full potential wrapped in the warm embrace of our caring family.
God loves them and has a wonderful plan for their lives. To us it means their days should be filled with hugs and kisses, fun activities and learning, caring personal attention and real advancement in life skills. Every disabled child is a soul that must be saved. We make the Gospel message clear and teach them the Word of God as the guidebook of life, providing a clean protected environment where they can grow healthy in every way. We want our children to become productive adults with a strong personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our Home is specifically for disabled orphaned children rejected by homes for normal children AND children whose impoverished families cannot take care of them because of their special needs. Our School is for children who cannot gain access to an education in the over-crowded Guatemalan public school system due to their disabilities or the ridicule of other students. Some of the children have severe hearing or vision deficits, microcephaly, learning disabilities, hydrocephaly, cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome, attention disorders or sensory integration difficulties. The school provides kindergarten through fifth grade, with a new grade added each year.
Beginning in 2003 with one child in the home and eight students in the school, the home now has ten special needs children with many waiting to come in. We get calls every week to receive more and we long to again be able to open our doors to new children.
Joy-Filled Homes provides a secure, loving environment with personal attention to each child's individual needs where they learn at their own pace. The children receive physical, speech, and occupational therapy (guided by volunteer therapists repeated by our nannies each day) and participate in Bible and English class, as well as learning the local Mayan dialect and the loveliness of the local indigenous culture.
Chimaltenango is an indigenous Mayan town of >160,000. It is an important agricultural center located in the fertile highland plain of western Guatemala. We started the first in 2003 and, in 2007, the second Special Ed school in the area. Many disabled children here are rejected by their families who keep them hidden at home, often left alone tied into a bed so the mother can go out to work or even abandoned to die on the street. Some are abandoned at a government hospital where they languish from the impersonal care. Or lost in the chaos of the government house for disabled that exists unprotected in the center of large orphans' village with almost 2000 tough street children. Now even the hardened court officials cringe at sending children there.
