We have a team of case workers working around the country. We work in teams of three with each case we are working on. To ensure the work is carried out safely by the specialists, a clinical psychologist supervises the team. The team meets weekly and all cases are reviewed at the team meeting. The supervision provides checks and balances aimed at keeping all stakeholders safe.
See below for more information about our case work team members role and who they are:
The survivor specialist:
- prepares the person harmed (victim-survivor), recognising when the process may be causing more trauma and slow processes down.
- encourages the victim-survivor into therapeutic counselling to help address the issues that may come forward as a result of the process.
- works with the person responsible for the harm (person responsible for sexual harm or perpetrator) to help him or her understand the impact of his or her offending.
- assists whanau /support people in understanding the dynamics and impacts of sexual violence so that they can provide a truly supportive role.
The restorative justice facilitator:
has an in-depth knowledge of sexual violence and in their impartial role can ensure that the process recognises the needs of participants and runs safely.
- explains the process steps and ensures everyone understands what they are agreeing to participate in.
- manages the ground rules to ensure a safe process
- walks everyone through the steps of the process
The offender specialist:
Offenders or those responsible for sexual harm are well skilled in manipulation and minimising their offending. Therefore the work of the offender specialist focuses on:
- assessing the person responsible for the sexual harm as a first step.
- recommending they undertake a treatment programme if required.
- ensuring they are ready to be accountable and take responsibility for the impact of their harmful sexual behavior before entering into the conference phase.
- following up on the conference agreed outcomes to ensure that the person responsible completes those tasks set for him or her.
- providing an educative role to help participants understand sexual offending.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Gov. Charlie Crist just told us that he intends to endorse Senator John McCain here tonight at the Pinellas County Lincoln Day Dinner.
My colleague John Broder, who has been traveling with the senator through Florida, and I just ran into the Republican governor outside a ballroom at the Hilton here, where Mr. McCain is speaking. He said he planned to announce his endorsement at this dinner. When asked why he decided to endorse, he joked that he would explain that at the dinner.
Governor Crist is considered a moderate Republican who has been courted by several of the candidates as they've campaigned around the state. Mr. Crist has talked with them about issues like drilling off the Gulf Coast of Florida, the Everglades and other environmental concerns peculiar to this state. Mr. Crist's endorsement means that Mr. McCain has received the backing of the state's top two G.O.P. officials. Just yesterday, Senator Mel Martinez announced he would back him. (The state's other senator, Bill Nelson, is a Democrat.)
We'll be back with more later.
Update. The governor took the stage, summoned Mr. McCain to come stand next to him and then in just a few sentences, Mr. Crist said:
The man who stands next to me really is a true American hero. He's a great friend to Florida … We have a lot of great people running for president who would all do well.
I have been thinking about it a lot. … I don't think anybody would do better than the man who stands next to me right now.
That's an endorsement.
Quick, to the point. And then Governor Crist left the stage.


text: While some people look only at the privileges of being a homeowner, those who actually fall under this category know that this comes along with a great number of responsibilities, as well. The most prominent issue on this list is the question of upkeep and maintenance of your home. For example, people in rental homes rarely (if ever) think about the drainage, yet there are several reasons why a homeowner would have to resort to this maintenance task. For instance, fixing a water hammer problem, making some major plumbing repairs or even shutting down a non-residential property's water supply during the winter. With this in mind, here are few tips that may come in handy. (more…)

Husband and wife Michael Maslin (SFA '76) and Liza Donnelly will discuss their careers as cartoonists at The New Yorker magazine and their life raising children and pets, and publishing books, in a program, "Our Lives and Hard Times."
Their informal conversation, which will also cover the history of cartooning, will be moderated by UConn English professor and author Regina Barreca.
The event, sponsored by University Libraries, will take place on Sunday, April 20 at 2 p.m., in Konover Auditorium at the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center. It is free and open to the public.
Michael Maslin has been drawing cartoons for The New Yorker since 1977.
He is the author of four collections of cartoons, including Mixed Company, and, with Donnelly, is co-author of Husbands & Wives and Call Me When you Reach Nirvana.
Liza Donnelly has been a cartoonist with The New Yorker since 1979. She has written and illustrated seven children's books.
Her book, Funny Ladies: The New Yorker's Greatest Women Cartoonists and Their Cartoons (2005), and the recently released Sex and Sensibility: Ten Women Examine the Lunacy of Love in 200 Cartoons, will be on sale at the event, as will Barreca's recent books.
Maslin and Donnelly met and married while working at The New Yorker in the 1980s. They work independently, each with a unique style, offering entertaining and sharp observations on social relationships.
In connection with the event, wood sculptor John Magnan, a noted conceptual sculptural artist whose work has been exhibited at the UConn Libraries, has created a wood issue of The New Yorker that incorporates a cartoon image created by Michael Maslin.
It will be offered in a silent auction that will end shortly after the public program on April 20.
Further information on the auction may be obtained from Linda Perrone at 860-486-0451 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Libraries' exhibit program.
More information about the event is available on the Library website.

In China's Poyang Lake, an area called Laoye Miao (Old Fellow Temple), has the same latitude as the infamous Bermuda Triangle, which is 32.48 degrees north of the equator. Laoye Miao is also noted for the high incidence of lost ships. It is located near Luoxing Mountain in Duchang County, Jiangxi Province.
On April 16, 1945, close to the end of the Second World War, the weather was sunny and mild. A Japanese army transportation ship "Kobe" was carrying more than 200 solders, and a large amount of treasures including antiques, paintings, gold, silver, and pearls. When the ship was cruising on the Poyang Lake through the Laoye Miao area, a huge tide suddenly emerged; the sky turned foggy, and it began to rain heavily. Almost simultaneously, the Kobe broke apart and sank quickly and disappeared. Soon after the ship sank the sky cleared and the weather stabilized again.
After hearing of the Kobe's disappearance, the Japanese navy, stationed in Jiujiang City, immediately sent a well-trained rescue team to the location of ship's disappearance. The lake only measured roughly 30 meters in depth where the ship had gone down. Team leader, Colonel Tomohisa, together with seven other divers searched for the ship and possible survivors without surfacing until dark, when Tomohisa himself came up from the search alone. Reports say his face was pale and emotionless, and he couldn't even speak when asked any question. He was later diagnosed with a mental disorder. Newspapers such as the China Republic Daily and San Francisco Tribune had full coverage on the incident at the time.
In Summer of 1946, American diving rescue expert Dr. Edward Bolton was invited by the Chinese National Party Government to retrieve the Kobe. It took his team a few months, millions of yuan, and yet they still couldn't find anything. A few divers were lost in the search for the Kobe. Edward and other team members remained silent about the search for many years.
It wasn't until 40 years later that Edward uncovered his mission in a memoir published in United Nation Environment News . He reported that after searching underwater about one kilometer's distance, they were suddenly dazzled by a bright light and a loud sound. The lake felt like it was shaking, and their ears were impacted by a high-pitched sound. Before he realized what was happening, he was pulled forcefully towards a vortex, and instantly felt dizzy while starting to lose sensation.
He was then hit abruptly on the waist, which awakened him, and he grabbed onto a nearby reef. He saw a long white light whirling around on the lake bottom. Some of his partners were drawn in by the bright light, and they disappeared in the vortex. Later on, others repeatedly came to search for the lost divers, but no remains were ever found.
In the 1980's, the Chinese Communist Navy sent a diving team near Laoye Miao to support a scientific research project. They also failed to retrieve anything. On the last day, the team leader Captain Shen Dahai was not satisfied with the search, and he decided to try again. This time he unfortunately did not come back. The Captain's body was found the next afternoon in Changba Shan Lake, 15 kilometers from Laoye Miao. Changba Shan Lake is a 20 square kilometers inner-land lake- surrounded by mountains. It is not connected with Poyang Lake, and its altitude is 12 meters higher.
Possibly thousands of ships and boats have sunk in the Laoye Miao area with each rescue effort resulting in nothing. Where did the ships and people go?

If you're an agent or broker and you're not working with property investors, you're missing out on a huge pot of easy money. Investors and agents can work together to follow up on high-profit leads, in a way that benefits them both. I've invited property investor Tom Cafarella onto the show to walk me through the three concrete lead sources he uses to generate a steady stream of clients for his business.
Tom is a Boston-based real estate investor who has been in the business for over a decade. He started in 2007 and quickly learned that buying listings online and flipping them was highly profitable. But when the market started to recover in 2013, he watched his online listings practically disappear and he knew he needed to start buying off-market in order to make the kinds of deals he made before. He spent years learning (by trial and error) the marketing techniques that really work for investors. He explains to me why his magic formula of direct mail, online marketing, and cold calling – despite my reservations – works the best for him.
We also discuss why it's crucial for investors and agents to work together. Once you've generated a strong lead, getting to know that customer means it might be better for them to list retail, rather than sell to an investor. But if you work together, the money from that sale stays within your circle. Tom and I also discuss the exact script you should follow when you're contacting a lead for the first time.
Today's Topics
- Why every agent should be an investor and vice versa
- Why buying lists may not be getting you the leads you want
- The types of properties that offer the best lead opportunities
- Which types of properties you really shouldn't waste your time on!
- How to focus on your cost per lead, and what you can do to get it lower
- How to build an efficient direct mail list, and make it work for you
- Why the content doesn't really matter in a direct mailing
- Two essential tools for online lead conversion
- Why you shouldn't try and do the online marketing yourself
- How to cold call the right way
- How to leverage both an investor and an agent to close the deal

There is a new beauty box on the market and after many have disappointed me, I am pleased to say this one well and truly peaked my interest. Green beauty boxes are hard to find and even harder to curate as it is very hard to please everyone, however I think I have found one that does a great job. After purchasing a box and being delighted with the contents I contacted the founder of Pure Natural box Rebecca Lannon to discuss why she does what she does and her love of green beauty amongst other things:
Can you tell us what is Pure Natural box and why did you create it?
Pure Natural Box is a quarterly discovery box containing 6 natural, organic, paraben and cruelty free products.
I created it because, being a massive beauty product fan I subscribed to the various beauty boxes that are available, only to be disappointed every month when products were presented containing parabens and other undesirable ingredients. I decided that the more health and future conscious amongst us would welcome a monthly beauty box which introduced you to pure, natural and organic products only which are free from the following:
BHA and BHT, coal tar dyes, DEA, cocamide DEA and lauramide DEA, dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, parabens, parfum, PEGs, petrolatum, siloxanes, sodium laureth sulfate, triclosan.
What is it about natural and organic products that made you pick them for your box?
Organic and green beauty is very important to me as I'm thinking about the future, for me and for my family. My awareness started when a few things happened around the same time at the start of 2015 which led me into the realm of organic.
After starting to learn about ingredients, I didn't want to use most of the products that were coming every month in the beauty boxes I subscribed to because of the bad ingredients, parabens especially. I'm also passionate about not using micro beads due to the impact they are having on the environment and marine life.
I purchased a few organic beauty and skincare products from a new friend who has a business selling organic and natural products after she fought cancer successfully but is now very stringent about what she uses and eats. I had a small health scare myself and just realised I wanted to make changes in my life and my family's life for the future.
A huge part of Pure Natural Box for me is education. I'm learning everyday about organic, green and natural, I don't think I'll ever stop learning and I'm passionate about educating others to alert them that there is a choice. I hadn't even thought about it myself until the start of 2015, that products my family and I use could be harmful. Yes studies aren't conclusive on everything but even if they 'could' be harmful why would I carry on using them when there are so many other gorgeous products out there which contain only natural and organic ingredients?
My social media accounts talk about a huge range of brands and products, ones that don't feature in my current box or any of the planned future boxes, but I want to make people aware of what is out there and how much better organic is.
What brands have you discovered that you have particularly enjoyed?
Ooh that is a hard question, because I try new products every week and keep finding new ones which are excellent. However, you can tell some of my favourites because those are the ones which I have featured in the boxes. Mimis Organic Skincare, The Rose Tree, Green and Spring, Bodhi & Birch, Green People, Weleda, Botanicals, Southsea Bathing Hut….I could go on, I have many more brands which I love and use a selection of products from their ranges.
How do you decide what brands to include in the boxes?
When I decided to start Pure Natural Box I created a huge list of all possible organic and natural brands, most of who are UK based. In addition to the organic brands and products I was already using I researched each brand to ensure that each one was completely organic and natural. I then started shopping! I try and test many products every week, but only 'tried, tested and loved' products are considered for the box.
As Pure Natural Box is a luxury beauty and skincare box I target boutique and luxury brands. I feel its important to support small businesses, I love brands who hand make and hand pour their goods as long as they still have a keen eye for perfection and image.
I speak to the brands and introduce Pure Natural Box and discuss working together. The response has been amazing, most people like my passion and are extremely supportive about the message I'm trying to get out there.
Brands have even begun contacting me now and asking about working together, many have been kind enough to send me a product to try and consider for future boxes.
Pure natural box Edition 2
What can we expect from Pure Natural boxes in the future?
I like to offer different products each time, also ones which are useful in and around the home such as toothpaste and hand wash. I've read people who are sick of receiving hand creams in their beauty boxes, I for one was sick of getting eyeliners in each box when I subscribed to them. Pure Natural Box will always feature different products each time, so you wont be overloaded with the same type of product.
What advice can you share for anyone trying to switch to Natural and organic products?
I'm still a novice at the ingredients lark, I find a lot of it confusing and sometimes don't understand what is what when I read ingredients on the back of packaging. However, I always jump on the company website and look into the brand, most times natural and organic brands and keen to shout about why and how they are natural and organic. They will also list each and every ingredient in each product, stating organic percentages etc. This will give you peace of mind that you are buying correctly.
Any of the brands I mentioned previously would be a great place to start, I can highly recommend them all. Also, purchasing a Pure Natural Box every quarter will allow you to try 6 different products for only £25, I think this is the best piece of advice I can offer because I have done all the hard work for you! 🙂
Thank you to Rebecca for telling us a little more about what she does, I love and share her passion and enthusiasm and we share the same taste in many brands. Editions one and three of the box are sadly sold out, but edition two and the men's box is still available to purchase at www.purenaturalbox.com.

Minnavi Time Release Delivery 7 Day Mask Sheet Review:
I got this mask recently from a brand I had never heard of before. But the design was appealing and I felt "rich" so I decided to pamper myself a little and got this pack of masks. It's above the price range I usually go for (I tend to buy more 1$ masks than other masks), but sometimes you just feel like treating yourself. So, I did. It was a huge leap for me, but was it worth it?
From the Minnavi website:
Minnavi's 7 Day Mask is designed to restore moisture, improves elasticity and revitalize facial skin. This Time Release Delivery system contains natural ingredients, including the patented Whitenol, which claims to have world-renowned brightening effects on the skin. Age spots, scars, and other blemishes will eventually fade with continuous use.
From the mask box and pouch:
All day continuous skin nourishment. Natural extracts soothe the fatigued skin, while ultra low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid and Beta-Glucan prolong and mantain a healthy and moist skin. Additionally, Niacin Polymide whitens the skin while Adenosine improves the skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles.
Contains no paraben, synthetic fragrance, mineral oil and artificial color.
Water, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Niacinamide, PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer, Alcohol Denat., Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Rhodiola Sachalinensis Extract, Borago Officinalis Seed Oil, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Althaea Rosea Flower Extract, Cordyceps Sinensis Extract, Inonotus Obliquus (Mushroom) Extract, Hydroxyacetophenone, Hydroxypropyl Bispalmitamide MEA, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Cyclopentasiloxane, Hyaluronic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, Arginine, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Allantoin, Dimethiconol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Caprylyl Glycol, Adenosine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Beta-Glucan, Sodium Nitrate, 4-Butylresorcinol, Dextrin, Disodium Phosphate, Polysorbate 60, Lecithin, Sodium Phosphate, Glyoxal, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol
Volume: 27g each, comes in a box of 7
How to use:
After washing your face and applying toner, place the mask on your face. After 10 to 20 minutes remove the mask, and then gently tap your face to let the essence absorb into your skin.
My Skin Type: Oily T, dry U, sensitive, blemishes easily, allergic
Minnavi Time Release Delivery 7 Day Mask Sheet Review:
Before I start I just want to say: wow a cruelty-free product!
I know they aren't that uncommon, but it always makes me happy to know they didn't test anything on an animal, nor used animal parts to make the product I'm wearing. The reason why I think it's ridiculous for a product not to be cruelty free or not tested on animals is because you can always either use materials that have been previously tested and thus are guaranteed not to harm humans, and because you can test them on (for example) pig skin (the ones that go to the slaughter house and their skin is wasted). Of course on products like snail slime or horse oil there are animal parts there, but that doesn't mean that other animals have to be tested on!
The mask opened quite easily and not in any weird or bothersome fashion.
You can see here that the mask comes pretty soaked and looks very light. You can also see on the close up there's a gentle texture on the mask, letting it absorb more essence onto the small holes you see there.
The mask, after I spread it open, I can see it's really light. As physically light as the ones from the Aritaum mask collection. It also seems relatively transparent. But, by comparison, this one seems softer to the touch.
I apologize for the really bad and blurry photo. But I wanted to share it anyway. For once in my life the mask fits my face (eyes, nose, everything) without tricks or without having to adapt it so it fits! I rarely ever encounter a mask that fits, and this one does so it counts as a really good point in favor of this mask.
This is a simple swatch I made while the mask was settling on my face. The essence is really liquid, but it's not uncomfortable. At this point I want to talk about the smell. The scent is good but it is a little strong and I'm sure sensitive noses won't like it. For normal noses it is an okay amount of intensity. To describe the smell I want to say it's similar to make cosmetics and at the same time it smells like the sea – so it's not something that would bother neither a girl nor a guy, and scent wise I think both should be able to use it. And even though it has a scent (then again, most masks have some) it didn't burn on my skin at all! Usually the watery type of essences burns a little when the scent is this strong, but this one didn't so I guess they used some good quality product to make it.
Both while the mask was on and the after feeling were very pleasant and nice, light in weight and light as in airy. After using it, my skin was hydrated and moisturized but not heavy nor oily. Again, my skin is combination skin so it needs a proper amount of hydration and moisture, a drier skin would need more moisture and an oilier skin I think would be fine with this mask too. So, if your skin is dry but you get your hands on this mask all you have to do is proceed with your moisturizing skin care afterwards!
After using this Minnavi mask I didn't apply skin care products for around 20 minutes, out of curiosity, and my skin was not dry nor did it react or produce oil.
And there is a lot of product on the pouch, so be sure to make use of it afterwards!
As a conclusion I must say I don't usually buy these expensive masks but this one really seems worth it to me. There are many masks that don't adapt well to my combination (tending to oily) skin, but this one really does. So, whenever I'm feeling generous to myself I will definitely get my hands on this again!

With a pocket full of change, I ventured out to Willow Glen this weekend in search of vintage finds. Delighted, I stumbled upon a neighborhood filled with blocks of sales. I wasn't looking for anything in particular but, by habit, I hunted for old jars and depression glass pieces, both which are always welcome additions in my home. Yet, I did have my eyes pealed for some old-school clothes and or accessories, hoping to find something unique. I was about to give up on my vintage hunt, and go home with a 25 cent French glass jar and 10 cent Indian ash tray, when I found the most adorable skirt. A sea of purple vertical stripes, it fit like a glove. I got to talking to the two lovely young ladies selling me the item and was delighted to find out that Miss Kari Laux had taken style into her own hands, modifying the skirt's length. I can't wait to rock my fab recycled find!

The Beatles might finally be coming to iTunes after all, putting to rest one of the longest and most dragged out Apple rumors to date. The Wall Street Journal now has a report, citing unnamed people familiar with the situation, that Apple is indeed planning to make this announcement on Tuesday, though there's still some possibility that things could change at the last minute. If that happens, we hope Apple has an interesting backup plan.
The Journal says that Apple and the Beatles' current record label, EMI Group, were in talks as recently as last week. A deal has allegedly been made already, making us wonder why there's still a possibility of something changing before Tuesday morning. Regardless, the publication generally has a solid track record when it comes to inside information on Apple, so the report is worth noting.
If tomorrow is just about the Beatles, it will undoubtedly be a disappointment for those wanting something more exciting out of Apple. As of publication, our reader poll reveals that most people expect to hear about a streaming movie, music, and TV service from Apple, with only 11 percent or so expecting the Beatles to come to iTunes (and 22 percent expecting something much more boring).
A quick poll among the Ars staff reveals that we collectively think the Beatles news by itself would be pretty yawn-worthy. What do you think?

Albert Bandura Quotes
Accomplishment is socially judged by ill defined criteria so that one has to rely on others to find out how one is doing.
— Albert Bandura
Coping with the demands of everyday life would be exceedingly trying if one could arrive at solutions to problems only by actually performing possible options and suffering the consequences.
In order to succeed, people need a sense of self-efficacy, to struggle together with resilience to meet the inevitable obstacles and inequities of life.
Moral justification is a powerful disengagement mechanism. Destructive conduct is made personally and socially acceptable by portraying it in the service of moral ends. This is why most appeals against violent means usually fall on deaf ears.
Most of the images of reality on which we base our actions are really based on vicarious experience.
People who believe they have the power to exercise some measure of control over their lives are healthier, more effective and more successful than those who lack faith in their ability to effect changes in their lives.
There are countless studies on the negative spillover of job pressures on family life, but few on how job satisfaction enhances the quality of family life.
Very often we developed a better grasp of the subjects than the over worked teachers.
Accomplishment is socially judged by ill defined criteria so that one has to rely on others to find out how one is doing.

When you are responsible for finding home care for a loved one, you will want to find caregivers who you can trust. Fortunately, there are other individuals who have had the same situation, and they offer excellent advice for finding the right type of care for your loved one. Here are five tips that you can use to help you find a great caregiver.
Talk to a Physician
When you have an appointment with the senior's physician, you can ask about the best way to find a caregiver. A physician can provide information about senior care services for patients with dementia conditions, brain trauma from a stroke or terminal conditions such as cancer. Call each nursing home to learn more about the services, and also, schedule appointments to visit the nursing homes.
Ask Your Friends
Many adults are caring for older relatives, so you can ask your friends about the caregivers that they use. Some cities have senior day care centers where you can take a loved one while you are working. There are also organizations that have volunteers who will assist with senior home care occasionally. Make a list of the different places that are recommended by your friends so that you can contact each place for more information.
In-home Caregivers
You can contact an agency that has a list of trained caregivers available. These individuals have already had criminal background screening, and the office staff at the agency has verified that the caregivers have references. In just a few days, you can have a great caregiver for your loved one who recently had surgery or has dementia. Elderly home care is available each day, or you may need part-time services instead.
Interview Caregivers
It is important to interview the caregivers to find an individual who meets the needs of the senior citizen. Some caregivers excel at caring for individuals with physical problems such as severe arthritis while others are able to cope better with a senior who has Alzheimer's disease. Finding the right caregiver can make your loved one happier and healthier.
Consult with the Senior Citizen
Your loved one should provide some input into selecting a caregiver. Remember that you probably won't stay in the home all of the time to observe what is going on, so they should select a caregiver instead. Despite having a dementia condition or physical health issues, it is essential for your loved one to have a good experience with selecting a caregiver.
Maintain Communication
It is a good idea to maintain communication with a caregiver by making telephone calls occasionally, or alternatively, by stopping by your loved one's home at different times of the day or the night.

LAFAYETTE (Ind.) WLFI -- As many as 2,000 Duke Energy customers were without power Thursday evening after a crash in Lafayette.
The outage affected much of the city's northeast side, centered around the Duke Energy substation on Greenbush Street. Most customers were back online by 10 p.m. The last of the outages were fixed by 11:30 p.m.
Authorities say it started with a crash at Schuyler Avenue and Biltz Street around 5:30 p.m. They say a car with two people in it veered off the road, hitting a utility pole and another car. The person in the other car was not hurt, but both people in the first car were taken to the hospital. They are expected to recover.
Duke Energy says the issue with the utility pole caused a chain reaction that affected some of their transformers. They expect to have power restored between 7:45 and 10:15 p.m.
In the meantime, police say many major traffic lights along Sagamore Parkway are also affected. It's causing traffic to back up in the area. Police are asking drivers to avoid it if possible and treat all intersections as four-way stops.
You can track Duke Energy's progress via their outage map here.

The main aim of our study was to evaluate the reproductive system status and gonadotropic pituitary function in patients with non-functioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA) according to the register data.
Depending on the state of the reproductive system at the time of NFPA diagnosis, men and women can be classified into three groups: secondary hypogonadism (40.7%); normal state of the sexual system (22.0%); and PCOS in women (36.5%) and reduced testicular size in men (11.2%). Menstrual irregularities took place in 77.8% NFPA women of reproductive age (41.3% of them had galactorea-oligo/amenorrhea combined with moderate hyperprolactinemia), and sexual dysfunction occurred in 42.0% of male patients with NFPA.

Sure, she might have had a traumatic time (for all of three days) in the jungle back in 2014, but it certainly provided her with some career opportunities.

About us
Welcome to Christian Church Light In The Darkness. We are excited about your interest in us. In 2007 we started CCLID in our backyard, and in six days we were in a location beginning a great move to reach our community and the world. God has allowed us to travel internationally as well as in the United States to expand the CCLID fellowship of diverse communities. CCLID is a multicultural community of believers. We are Christ centered and Bible based. We believe that God will grant you valuable insight into the Holy Scripture, life as it is meant to be lived, and service to others. We offer a diversity of Ministries and we know that God's Spirit will begin to deepen your appreciation and love for Christ as you grow in your studies and personal relationship with Him. Through your spiritual journey with us, your world view and responses to the events in life will be refined to align with the Word of Truth. God will open your heart and mind and enable you to receive deeper revelations and understanding of Christ so that your entire lifestyle will be consistent with the truth and spirit of the doctrines of Scripture. Our goal is to prepare and then release you as an effective servant leader to His Church, the community, and the world.
The message of the church revolves around these beliefs.
Salvation Through Jesus Christ
Salvation is deliverance from spiritual death and enslavement by sin. God provides salvation for all who believe and accept His free offer of forgiveness. Mankind's only hope of redemption from the fallen sinful state is through the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Sonâblood that was shed as Jesus died on the cross. The account of the crucifixion of Jesus is recounted by four of the Gospel books: Matthew (chapter 27), Mark (chapter 15), Luke (chapter 23), and John (chapter 19).] (Luke 24:47; John 3:3,16,17; Rom. 8:16; 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8,9; 4:24; Titus 2:11-12; 3:5-7)
Divine Healing
Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.
(Isa. 53:4,5; Matt. 8:16,17; James 5:14-16)
Baptism in the Holy Spirit
All believers are entitled to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and therefore should expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all believers in the early Christian church. With the experience comes the provision of power for victorious Christian living and productive service. It also provides believers with specific spiritual gifts for more effective ministry. The baptism of Christians in the Holy Spirit is accompanied by the initial physical sign of speaking in other tongues (unlearned languages) as the Spirit of God gives them audible expression. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4,8; 2:4; 8:12-17; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9; 1 Cor. 12:1-31)
The Second Coming of Christ
All Christians who have died will one day rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air. Christians who have not yet died will be raptured or caught up with them, to be with the Lord. Then Christians of all ages will live with God forever. The scriptural truth of the Lord's soon return is "the blessed hope". (Romans 8:23; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 ThessaÂlonians 4:16-17; Titus 2:13)
Apostle Dr.Cesar and First Lady Yolanda Velez
Dare to be Empowered!
"Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."
