…According to the IMF – Global Financial Stability Report prices continue to rise in most regions of the world, spurred on by historically low interest rates and generally benign credit conditions
…A recent article from the IMF – Assessing the Risk of the Next Housing Bust …concludes that:
- …in most advanced economies in our sample, weighted by GDP, the odds of a big drop in inflation-adjusted house prices were lower at the end of 2017 than 10 years earlier but remained above the historical average.
- In emerging markets, by contrast, riskiness was higher in 2017 than on the eve of the global financial crisis.
- Nonetheless, downside risks to house prices remain elevated in more than 25% of these advanced economies and reached nearly 40% in emerging markets in our study.

The U.S. market is generally robust. According to Peter Coy of Bloomberg – America Isn't Building Enough New Housing the effect of the housing collapse during the financial crisis still lingers, added to which zoning rules are exacerbating an already small pool of construction-ready lots. Non-credit factors are also corroborated by a recent Fannie Mae survey of housing lenders which found only 1% blaming tight credit, whilst 48% pointed to lack of supply.
In Canada, the outlook has become less favourable, partly due to official intervention which began in 2017. Since 2012, house price increases in Toronto accelerated away from other cities, Vancouver followed with a late rush after 2015 and price increases only stalled in the last year.
In their February 2019 report Moody Analytics – 2019 Canada Housing Market Outlook: Slower, Steadier – identify the risks as follows:
- Interventions by the BoC, OSFI, and the British Columbia and Ontario governments were by no means a capricious attempt to deflate a house price bubble for the mere sake of deflation.
- Financial and macroeconomic aggregates point to the possibility that the mortgage credit needed to sustain house price appreciation may be unsustainable. Since 2002, the ratio of mortgage debt service payments to disposable income has gone from a historical low point of little more than 5% in 2003 to almost 6.6% by the end of last year…
The authors go on to highlight:
- the danger of the overall debt burden, should interest rates rise, or should the Canadian economy slow, as it is expected to do next year.
- They expect the ratio of household interest payments to disposable income to rise and the percentage of mortgage arrears to follow a similar trajectory. In reality, the rate of arrears is still forecast to reach only 0.3%, significantly below its historical average.
External factors could create the conditions for a protracted slump in Canadian real estate. Moody's point to:
- a Chinese real estate crash,
- a no-deal Brexit,
- renewed austerity in Europe
- and a continuation of the US/China trade dispute
as potential catalysts. In this scenario 4% of mortgages would be in arrears. For the present, however, Canadian housing prices remain robust…
Australian residential housing prices, especially in the major cities, have suffered from this downdraft. According to a report, released earlier this month by Core Logic – Falling Property Values Drags Household Wealth Lower, the decline in prices, the worst in more than two decades, is beginning to bite. According to the ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics),
- …Total household assets have fallen in value over both the September and December 2018 quarters taking household wealth 1.6% lower relative to June 2018. While…liabilities have increased by 1.5% over the same period.
- As a result of falling assets and rising liabilities, household net worth…[fell to] the lowest it has been since September 2017…
- As at December 2018, household debt was 189.6% of disposable income, a record high and up from 188.7% the previous quarter.
- Housing debt was also a record high 140.2% of disposable income and had risen from 139.5% the previous quarter.
- In 2018 the Australian Residential Property Price Index fell 5.1% [due to]…tightening credit conditions and reduced demand from investors and owner occupiers.
- Sydney, down 7.8%
- Melbourne, off 6.4%,
- Darwin, down 3.5%
- and Perth, which has been in decline since 2015, shed a further 2.5%.
According to many commentators, Australian property has been ready to crash since the bursting of the tech bubble but, as this chart shows, prices are rich but not excessive:
Source: AMP Capital
Aside from some corrections in certain cities (notably Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney and Melbourne) prices continue to rise in most regions of the world, spurred on by historically low interest rates and generally benign credit conditions. [That being said,] the greatest macroeconomic risk to global housing markets stems from a tightening of financial conditions. Central banks appear determined to lean against the headwinds of a recession. In the long run they may fail but in the near-term the global housing market still looks unlikely to implode.

Pre-Order Bonuses detailed for celebrated Atelier series from GUST!
Hertfordshire, 14th April 2016 – KOEI TECMO Europe today announced new gameplay features and detailed pre-order bonus information for GUST's upcoming RPG, Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book. The game will bring the charm and magic of the long-running Atelier series to the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system for the first time on 10th June 2016, with a simultaneous digital-only release for the PlayStation®Vita handheld system.
In Atelier Sophie: the Alchemist of the Mysterious Book the player must always be aware of two elements that greatly affect successful mission completions and material harvesting: Time and Weather. The time of day and the weather conditions should be carefully considered before heading out to a mission as some monsters will only show if the time and weather are favourable. Similarly, some necessary materials can only be harvested in specific times and weather conditions. Atelier Sophie: the Alchemist of the Mysterious Book also introduces a fatigue-based Life Point system, which can weaken attacks when a character has spent too long adventuring, gathering materials, and/or fighting without resting (returning to the atelier). These two new elements add to the challenging nature of this beautiful RPG and are indicative of the reimagined gameplay system of the Atelier universe!
Koei Tecmo released a brand new trailer showcasing these exciting new features, as well as a gameplay video further expanding on the re-vamped Atelier battle system.
Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book offers one of two different bonus DLC packs to players who pre-order the game from select retailers. Those who order through Amazon will receive an in-game background music pack, as well as two delightful Atelier Sophie themes for their PlayStation 4. Independent retailers will be offering a pack consisting of a background music, the Doll Making costume 'Aqua Suit', a five-piece set of useful materials and items to be used in synthesis and a theme.
Finally, those who purchase either the digital PlayStation®4 or PlayStation®Vita versions from the PlayStation®Store during its first month of release will receive two Atelier Sophie themes, as well as an in-game bundle of useful items boosting their attack (uni bag), Hit Points (sweets), or Mental Points (sotea) that can be used on their adventures.

About Atelier Sophie: the Alchemist of the Mysterious Book
Atelier Sophie is set against a vibrant background reminiscent of a medieval European town and follows the exploits of a young novice Alchemist who discovers she is the owner of an enigmatic volume imbued with a soul. This Mysterious Book seems to hold all the secrets to the art of Alchemy knowledge and goes on to become Sophie's mentor. As Sophie improves her Alchemy skills throughout the story, she unravels the book's forgotten memories and eventually sets out to uncover the strange tale of her teacher's origin.

N.Y. DEC Reports Recovery Signs for Atlantic Sturgeon
A joint Federal and State 2015 Juvenile Atlantic Sturgeon Survey shows the highest number of Atlantic sturgeon in the Hudson River in the 10-year history of the survey and the trend of the results show an increasing juvenile sturgeon abundance (see chart below), New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Acting Commissioner Basil Seggos has announced.
"Juvenile Atlantic sturgeon are at the highest level recorded in the Hudson River in the last 10 years. These survey results are an encouraging sign for the recovery of Atlantic sturgeon," Acting Commissioner Seggos said. "We are cautiously optimistic that, with our continued vigilance and efforts to protect this species, Atlantic sturgeon will have a secure future."
Commercial fishing rates for Atlantic sturgeon exceeded the ability of the fish to replenish themselves in the late 1980s and early 1990s. New York led the way in conservation through implementation of a harvest moratorium for Atlantic sturgeon in 1996. In 1998, an amendment of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) Fishery Management Plan for Atlantic sturgeon resulted in a coast wide moratorium on Atlantic sturgeon harvest for 40 years and aimed to protect two generations of females in each spawning stock.
The juvenile Atlantic sturgeon abundance survey began in 2006 as part of the DEC's Hudson River Estuary Action Agenda. The survey was designed by DEC in collaboration with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and was implemented to track the response of Atlantic sturgeon to the closure of commercial sturgeon fisheries. Since sturgeon are a long-lived species, with Hudson River fish beginning to spawn at 10 to 20 years old and living as long as 60 years, signs of recovery were expected to be slow. This slow pace of recovery contributed to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) listing Hudson River Atlantic sturgeon as Endangered in 2012. Encouragingly, biologist are now seeing a steady increase in the number of Atlantic sturgeon in the Hudson River as the first protected fish are coming into their prime breeding years.
As identified in the NMFS Atlantic sturgeon status review, threats remain, including from accidental mortality when other fish are harvested along the Atlantic coast, habitat degradation, impingement and entrainment from water withdrawals, and mortality from vessel strikes. DEC continues to monitor these threats and evaluate and implement measures to prevent or mitigate their impact on Atlantic sturgeon.
In addition to breeding populations, DEC also maintains publicly available records of sturgeon deaths to monitor the status and assess threats to the population. In June 2012, in response to the Federal "endangered" listing of the species, DEC updated its website to direct all reports to a centralized location. Since improving data collection, the number of reported sturgeon deaths began to rise.
DEC considers the current level of sturgeon mortality a serious matter, and continues to evaluate options to better determine the cause of mortality and options for prevention. However, the increase in reported sturgeon mortality reported to the DEC is likely related to the increase in outreach and centralization of sturgeon mortality reporting and the increased abundance of Atlantic sturgeon in the Estuary, rather than a specific source or project. In addition there is no evidence that the construction of the replacement for the Tappan Zee Bridge is the cause of the increased number of reported sturgeon mortality, as the wide geographic spread of the reported mortalities (129 miles in 2015; 56 miles in 2014) suggest that the cause of the mortalities is not occurring at a discrete site. DEC continues to participate in the development of the ASMFC stock assessment for the Atlantic sturgeon, scheduled for completion in 2017. This assessment will summarize the current coast wide status of the species and identify opportunities to continue making progress toward the recovery of the species.

The Joy of Letters
The latest 'Father Figuring' column
I wish that joy could fill every moment of Jessie's life, but children, like their parents, must overcome difficulties. Two major challenges Jessie has faced in her young life come to mind.
The first was when Jessie's beloved dog, Ginger, died. Ginger was Jessie's "sister" and wore as many outfits as Jessie's Barbie dolls. Jessie didn't just cry, she wailed.
The other time Jessie's tears flowed faster than the tissues could keep up occurred when my wife, Mattie, and I broke the news that we were moving to a new state. Jessie knew this meant her relationship with her friends — the only friends she had ever known — would change. Of course, Mattie and I emphasized the positives of the move: a good career opportunity, closer to family (some readers might not see this as a positive) and a chance for Jessie to meet new friends. All Jessie cared about when we pulled the rug out from under her young life was that she would miss her current friends.
I understood, as I didn't want to move either. Switching from a manual toothbrush to an electric one is too much of an adjustment for me. I'm not a big fan of change and, from experience, I knew a move was a major one — and a big headache.
Mattie and I tried to convince Jessie that she would eventually be happy. "You can write letters, text and Instagram."
Even with that said, Jessie's stuffed animals continued to collect her tears.
I've always heard, "Kids adjust to change much quicker than adults." From what I've seen, this is true. The transition to a new state and school went well for Jessie, but I'll let her share her thoughts with you.
I moved from Statesboro, Georgia, at the end of last summer. I have found out that it is easier than ever to contact to your friends via text, email or social media, but of all the forms of long-distance communication, receiving good old-fashioned letters is my favorite. I go to the mailbox every day, excited to see if any of my pen pals wrote.
I also enjoy writing letters. I have a huge tub full of cards and stationery. I enjoy thinking about the happiness receiving letters brings to others. I have saved all the letters I have received since I moved to Florida. They are special to me. I hope I have convinced you why it's good to write letters, as well as taking advantage of today's technology. Now, let's get back to Dad.
Of course, a piece of paper, card or electronic post isn't the same as an in-person hug — or dog love — but I'll choose mail over wail anytime. Though I like to get the mail when it arrives, I wait for Jessie until she gets home from school. My reward, other than not receiving bills earlier in the day, is to see Jessie running with a card in her outstretched arm. I can always tell when she receives a letter from one of her friends, not only because she waves it high in the air, but because of the big smile on her face.
We live in a changing, challenged-filled world. It's great when we have family and friends with whom we can share the good times — and not-so-good times. I don't write as many letters as I once did, but Jessie is right: There is joy in both sending and receiving cards and letters. Who know? Maybe one day I'll write a letter to a friend or family member to say how much I like my electric toothbrush, though I doubt it.

Lars Stindl struck the only goal as Germany beat Chile 1-0 to win the Confederations Cup in St Petersburg.
Borussia Monchengladbach forward Stindl tapped home against the run of play after a defensive blunder midway through the first half as world champions Germany added another major trophy to their collection.
Copa America winners Chile wasted a glut of goalscoring chances in either half and with the help of a superb stoppage-time save from goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Joachim Low's side held on to win the tournament for the first time.
After the two sides drew their group game 1-1 10 days ago Chile made the brighter start in the rematch and were clearly the better side throughout most of the first period.

Throwback: The Soul of a Cyberman
Goofs: In common with most of their early back-up strip appearances, the depiction of the Cybermen here isn't entirely faithful to that of the television series. They are markedly more emotional and oddly they only seem interested in Mondaran's mineral resources, either killing or enslaving the human inhabitants. We'll see more of this sort of thing later on.
Continuity: The Cybermen depicted here are sleeker than most of their television counterparts and most closely resemble a cross between those seen in The Invasion and those in Revenge of the Cybermen. The Cyberleaders have black triangles painted over the upper parts of their faces, the point facing downward where a nose would be in a human. Although their have circular metal plates at their joints, they are otherwise smooth bodied, although intriguingly their chest units appear to strapped on by some kind of harness. They carry tube-shaped weapons. The Cyberleaders have names (as in The Tenth Planet) and rather amusingly they have the rank of Junior Cyberleader [imagine Cybermen competing for promotion...]. Malfunctioning Cybermen can report to maintenance for repairs. As in The Tomb of the Cybermen, they apparently rely on external charging for power.
Junior Cyberleader Kroton malfunctions, regains his emotions, and becomes fascinated by humans and their illogical, emotional responses. Having rescued the human colonists from his fellow Cybermen and left them in the safety of the Forest of Lorn, he launches his spacecraft and drifts off into space, his batteries draining of energy.
The planet Mondaran is a human colony which has been occupied by the Cybermen for several months and is now in ruins. The capital is called Mondaran City. The Forest of Lorn is a vast region on Mondaran, where the humans believe that they will be able to hide indefinitely from the Cybermen. Mondaran is a six-day journey away from Telos in a Cyber ship.
Links: This is the first of many appearances for the Cybermen in the Marvel Doctor Who strip, but not their first comic strip appearance; they appeared opposite the Second Doctor in several TV Comic strips, beginning with The Coming of the Cybermen. Their adopted home planet of Telos first appeared in The Tomb of the Cybermen and again in Attack of the Cybermen, and has been mentioned in several of their other appearances on screen, in books, and in audio stories.
The Bottom Line: "Human? Me?" It seems highly likely that this strip is heavily influenced by The Wizard of Oz, and more specifically by the notion of a tin man in search of a heart. The back-up strip would often feature characters who either debuted in the main strip or who appeared in it later on, with Abslom Daak being the most obvious example. Throwback The Soul of a Cyberman introduces another of these in the shape of the fondly remembered Kroton, who would reappear sixteen issues later in Ship of Fools. After which he wasn't seen again for nearly twenty years, when the team behind the Eighth Doctor comic strip, with a little help from Cyberman fan Adrian Salmon, brought him out of retirement with a slick new makeover. It's easy to see his appeal; the strip is dynamically drawn, engagingly written, and Kroton himself is utterly charming, as he struggles to understand what is happening to him.

Mum left pet horse to starve
PUBLISHED: 13:26 18 July 2001 | UPDATED: 10:21 03 March 2010
A SUFFOLK mum is counting the cost after she left her pet horse to starve in a field.
It resulted in the animal becoming emaciated and close to death … but the three-year-old horse, named Rufus, survived and is now being cared for by new owners.
A SUFFOLK mum is counting the cost today after she left her pet horse to starve in a field.
It resulted in the animal becoming emaciated and close to death … but the three-year-old horse, named Rufus, survived and is now being cared for by new owners.
Julia Coe was banned for five years from keeping horses and was also ordered to pay a fine of £1,000 and costs of £800 after pleading guilty to cruelty to animals.
The photograph here shows how the animal was reduced to little more than skin and bone, standing in a field with barely any grass to graze.
Yesterday, magistrates in Ipswich heard that RSPCA Inspector Lorraine Williams discovered Rufus and a pony in state of ill health in February.
Insp Williams made visits to the Bourne Hill field on several occasions throughout March but often discovered the horses had no water, no food and no shelter.
Eventually the RSPCA prosecuted Coe, of Lewis Lane, Stutton, for her cruelty in neglecting Rufus. Both animals were removed from the field on the advice of vet Peter Mason.
Hugh Rowland, prosecuting for the RSPCA, told the court: "On March 23 Mr Mason found Rufus to be covered with two rugs causing rub marks."
Mr Rowland told South East Suffolk magistrates that parts of the horse such as the ribs and "shoulders" were clearly visible. He added that the horse had no water, food or shelter and that Rufus was suffering from worms, malnutrition and some muscle damage.
He said: "It's likely that the horse's condition had been poor for many weeks and that it had been suffering for that length of time."
John Hughes, defending, said that Coe had been suffering from post-natal depression after the birth of her son Callum in April last year.
He said: "She purchased Rufus in the middle part of last year and when she bought him he was in a poor condition. However things started to go wrong with regards to her circumstances."
He said Coe had to go through the upheaval of financing a move as her previous address had damp that had aggravated Callum's asthma. She was also working 12-hour shifts in a bid to earn extra money.
Mr Hughes added: "Perhaps with the benefit of hindsight she would have sold the horses or moved them to new premises at an early stage than she did."
He said that she had a love of horses and had kept them since the age of nine. He added that she said she had been feeding them regularly but admittedly not as much food as was required.
"She was caught between a rock and a hard place. Perhaps with a little bit more foresight she would have realised that things would have got worse for Rufus and that the right decision would have been to get rid of the horse."
In sentencing Coe chairman of the bench, David Smith, described the offence as "a serious neglect over a period of time."
After the hearing Insp Williams said: "Miss Coe was given every opportunity to help improve the living conditions and was offered help and advice in improving the body condition of the horse.
"The RSPCA was left with no option except to instigate proceedings against Miss Coe so that we could take the horse and pony into our care.
"The RSPCA will only prosecute as a last resort. I would ask anybody who is having problems with their animals for whatever reason to contact the RSPCA or other animal welfare organisations for help and advice."
She added that both Rufus and the pony had since been re-homed.

Beautiful shoes, but I wish I Went a half size up. Run a little small.
Ordered one size larger so it was more comfortable to wear all day. Nice shoes!
Classic leather shoe at a great price. I bought every color and love them. The gold was just enough for the holiday season. Nine west had always been my go to shoe. I could do commercials. I love this company.
I bought the black slingbacks, nervous about blisters and pointy silhouette if it would be too tight but it isn't. So beautiful, definitely a stable in every woman's closet. True to size as well, no blisters even when wearing them once or twice to break in. Only thing is that the front 'leather' because of the pointiness has already showing peeling! So shocked. Not sure what to do to repair. Maybe change the synthetic leather and make it stronger? Could become a stable and steady income like the Tatiana.
Nice styling and heel. Leather not up to your usual standards.

Spring is only three weeks away and you can finally take a deep breath as you are almost halfway done with the semester! Spring is a time to focus on summer employment, courses for fall semester, and your academics. It may seem like you have a long time until summer vacation, but don't let the long weekends and school vacations pass you by. Take all the opportunities you can to work towards improving your future. Students looking to stay on track should take advantage of these tips!
Apply for Scholarships
As you breathe a sigh of relief, your job isn't quite done just yet. At this point we hope you have sent in your college applications, filed your FAFSA, and applied for some scholarships. If you haven't applied for any scholarships, now is the time! Search for local scholarships at RIScholarships.org. For larger scholarship opportunities check out sites cappex, scholarships, and fastweb. These aren't the only scholarship search engines, but they are a good start!
Evaluate Award Letters Carefully
Award letters will soon be hitting your mailboxes. Trying to determine which school is giving you the best deal is not always easy. Not every school outlines awards the same way as the others. That's why at the RISLA College Planning Center we offer help to families trying to make this figure out which school is giving them the best deal. Book an appointment with us to discuss award letters. It's important to understand which school is academically and financially the best fit for you and your family. If you don't have time to visit us in our office, be sure to check out our post on award letters.
Stay Focused
As the weather gets nicer, it's easy to catch a case of senioritis. It's important to stay focused on your academics and extracurricular activities. Don't stop trying and keep putting fourth your best efforts! Colleges will receive a final transcript at the end of the academic year and colleges can revoke acceptances if a student's grades have dropped significantly. If you stay on track, you won't become one of those students!
Choose Courses Wisely
We know you have a ton of options for courses next year and it's important to keep challenging yourself and to choose your courses wisely. You may want to load up on fun electives, but the reality is you should continue to take core classes to show colleges you are serious about academics. Pay attention to high school course requirements at colleges you are interested in and make sure you will be meeting their minimum criteria for admission. If you don't want to take physics, maybe you should take a forensics class or if you don't want to take calculus, take trigonometry instead. You don't have to take all AP or Honors classes but you want colleges to see that you're still willing to put forth the effort to learn and remain engaged in your education.
Discuss Finances & College Affordability
One of the most importantt conversations you will have about college is what you and your family can afford to pay. You should sit down with your family and discuss possible career choices. Your career choice will help your family determine the best course of action on how to pay for college. Once you have determined a tentative career path...have an earnest conversation about what is affordable for your family. Make sure you understand the net price (cost minus financial aid) is at schools before applying, what the monthly payments will be on any student loans you borrow, and understand what a typical starting and mid-level salary are in the field of your choice.
Visit Colleges and Attend College Fairs
One of the best ways to learn if a school is a good fit for you is to visit the college campus. You can see what the other students are like and what the facilities are. It's highly likely that your tour guide will be a current student, so take the opportunity to ask them any questions about their personal experiences the school. College fairs can help undecided students determine if college is a path they can see in their future. Students will have the chance to learn about different kinds of programs offered at colleges and the financial aid that is available to help them pay for college. Choosing a college wisely can mean the difference between graduating and dropping out, so students need to do their homework before sending out applications.

The realization of a robust interfacial attachment mechanism between nanofillers and host polymer matrix holds great promise to enhance overall macroscale properties of nanocomposites. With this regard, the formation of periodically functionalized and crystalline texture shish-kebab architectures on matrix-embedded nanostrands through utilizing intrinsic characteristics of semicrystalline polymer systems represents a facile interfacial coupling scheme. In particular, successful protocols for the development of periodically assembled shish-kebab structures have been demonstrated on CNTs employing numerous semicrystalline polymer systems. Yet, the functionalized nano-hybrid shish-kebab configurations are essentially established via intrinsically semicrystalline thermoplastics which genuinely constitute inferior physical properties for high-performance demanding applications. Aromatic thermosetting copolyester (ATSP), introduced in the late 1990s, utilizes low cost, easily processable and highly crosslinkable oligomers to develop a high-performance polymer system. The crosslinked morphology of ATSP formed by an aromatic polyester backbone interconnected via covalent oxygen bonds enables strong physical properties and outstanding chemical inertness. Here, we report on in situ epitaxial step-growth polymerization driven interfacial functionalization of ATSP with multi-layered graphene wrapped alumina nanofiber (ANFC) surface. Unidirectionally oriented ANFC bundles are dip-coated with both dilute and concentrated ATSP oligomer solutions. During a thermal condensation polymerization, ATSP dip-coated fiber strands develop a nano-hybrid shish-kebab structure with periodically assembled and off-surface grown micron-scale lamella ATSP domains. The nano-hybrid ATSP-ANFC system is composed of the ANFC strand as "shish" and the ATSP lamellae as "kebab" in the nanocomposite structure, which also clearly highlights the epitaxial growth induced localized lamellae formation. The condensation polymerized thermoset nature of the lamellae also presents a unique synthetic route as compared to previously reported shish-kebab structures. We propose a mechanism combining the Plateau-Rayleigh instability, the Marangoni effect and the epitaxial growth phenomena to elucidate controlling parameters in the process. X-ray Diffraction measurements clearly demonstrate the formation of mesomorphic lamella phase not present within either the neat ATSP or pristine fiber samples. Results of solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Thermogravimetric Analysis reveal the development of an interfacial coupling between the graphene-coated ceramic nanofibers and the ATSP matrix. This study lays the groundwork to initiate further analyses of the ATSP with various other nanofiller reinforcements on the in situ surface functionalization.

It was reported by Vogue.com that hot rollers and the return of bombshell hair are making a comeback after Instagram pics of Gisele Bündchen and Karlie Kloss were captured in velcro rollers. Following are some tips from Harry Josh to create the look: First, seal the ends for polish with a light serum "Rollers are amazing at smoothing ends," he explains. Then, using a fishtail comb, sequester a two-inch section at the forehead, spray it with flexible-hold hairspray [he uses John Frieda's Frizz Ease KeraFlex Hairspray], then tug the hair forward in front of the face until it's taut before lining up the roller at the hair's ends and, instead of rolling it under, rotate it up and back toward the crown of the head before securing it in place. "This way you don't get any slack. It really lifts the root." Repeat until all of your hair is in rollers. Depending on how well your hair holds a curl, leave them in for a minimum of ten minutes [30 minutes at most], and to lock in the shape, take out the rollers and pin the hair back into a similarly cylindrical shape, letting it cool like that for at least as long as you left the rollers in [Editorial Note: refer to the picture above]. "If you spend the time once to do the whole thing right, the body and movement will last all day."

Il Mulino
1150 N. Dearborn
Phil Romano, the man who brought Macaroni Grill into a clamoring world, once sued a restaurant critic for writing a tepid review of the Dallas branch of Il Mulino, the extravagant Italian restaurant he franchised from brothers Fernando and Gino Masci. So after eating at Chicago's new outpost in the stately Biggs mansion, I don't say this lightly: the food is nothing special. Every time a new clone of this Old New York establishment opens somewhere--Vegas, Tokyo, Long Island--a Darwinian struggle for reservations commences among a certain species of diner that loves to be the first to throw down outrageous amounts of money to make the scene. Granted, for those who prevail there's a lot of free stuff: thin fried zucchini, house-cured salume, mussels and bruschetta, several kinds of garlic bread, and a server whose sole purpose seems to be to haul around a giant wheel of Reggiano and hunk it onto your plate.
And yes, portions are huge. Steak cartoccio, from an epic list of specials, was a formidable brick of cow smothered in sauteed mushrooms and guarded by a circular battlement of fried potatoes. But apart from its size, "you can get the same thing at Denny's," said my underwhelmed companion. I ate it, but the question remained: what possible justification is there for this $60 steak? I can only guess that the majority of food ordered at Il Mulino is taken home and eaten over a week of lunches, or perhaps presented to the servants in lieu of wages. Another problem, noted by the Dallas defendant as well, is that many of the dishes are overrich and oversauced; my Flintstone-size osso buco was slathered with a thick port gravy more suitable for ice cream. The same goes for the porcini ravioli in champagne-black truffle sauce--highly adhesive, and with barely a hint of fungal funk.
For dessert we went for fresh mixed berries with zabaglione, impressively prepared by a waiter who whipped the eggs, marsala, and sugar over a burner at the table, then poured it over two glasses filled with about a third of a cup of berries. Nice--until the check came. Those berries cost $15 per glass; the zabaglione show was an extra $22. Then again, the production values are part of what you're paying for all night, the whole shebang sound tracked by Andrea Bocelli, Carmela Soprano's favorite popera singer. It's tightly choreographed, but there's nothing stuffy about the chummy, Italo-accented, tuxedo-clad waiters, captains, and servers, whose frantic bustle recalls the mating scenes in March of the Penguins.
I don't think I've ever met anyone who could become a regular at Il Mulino, but I imagine if there are such creatures they're the sort who insist on tooling around the golf course in a yellow Hummer. There's no question that this is a fun place to throw away several hundred dollars--preferably not your own. --Mike Sula
May Street Market
1132 W. Grand
If nothing else this new contemporary American restaurant from Tru vet Alex Cheswick aims to please. From the sunny hostess to the chatty server to the chef himself, who emerged late in the evening to personally thank each of the remaining tables for coming, everybody at May Street Market exudes goodwill: they even send you out the door with a complimentary little loaf of chocolate bread. But the kitchen still seems to be finding its legs. Chilled shots of a creamy potato veloute drizzled with chive juice--a fancy-pants vichyssoise--were a fine starter, but the salads that followed were a mixed bag. In the good one, diced root veggies were separated from a toss of mixed greens by a lusty slice of prosciutto wrapped around warm goat cheese, but the clump of arugula and kohlrabi in my friend's Maytag blue cheese salad was no match for the mound of dairy. An entree that paired delicate panfried trout with rich braised short rib was choice, but the venison medallions--visually nifty on a bed of vibrant green spaetzle and coated with a thick pistachio crust--came in a too-salty lingonberry sauce. It took a preposterous dessert to win me back: billed as a pomegranate tart, it was essentially an oversize Oreo, chocolate crumb crust and a thick layer of fondant, capped with a quivering crown of pomegranate foam. Served with banana ice cream and a grilled banana slice and speckled with pomegranate seeds, it's ridiculous and ridiculously good. The restaurant is teaming up with the Merchandise Mart's Artisan Cellars to provide bottles at retail prices, but as of last week the program hadn't been implemented. Our server cheerfully confessed he hadn't a clue about most of the wines on the extensive list, but he knocked 50 percent off the price of ours--can't do much more than that to keep a customer happy. --Martha Bayne
3868 N. Lincoln
At Sola self-described former surfer girl Carol Wallack has dreamed up a menu board with expert balance. A roasted-pepper-and-fennel soup came with a sambuca-infused creme fraiche; a sea greens salad was crisp with water chestnuts and played the bitterness of hijiki against the sweet spiciness of hoisin. There were some gimmicks: the "trio of tuna tartares," though fresh, were indistinct in flavor; Parmesan fries with truffle oil sounded fabulous but turned out to be a fancified version of what you'd get at Gene and Jude's. Far more memorable was the black cod, marinated three days in miso paste and rice vinegar, then seared and served with curried sunchokes and bamboo rice; it paired very well with a 2004 Mak sauvignon blanc big with grapefruit notes. We also tried Colorado lamb chops with eggplant and leeks, for which our server suggested a medium-weight Cartlidge & Brown pinot noir--an excellent match. Capping things off were citrus pound cake with mango curd and a molten chocolate cake with sesame brickle ice cream and wasabi-vanilla bean syrup. Sola delivers its entire menu curbside--call ahead, pay with a card, and pull up in front. --David Hammond

His major research interests focus on tourism management, tourist behavior, tourism forecasting models and impact studies. Phoebe W. Y. Chemung is a research assistant within the Department of Hotel and Tourism Management at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. ABSTRACT KEYWORDS: theme park, teeming, leisure, motivation, lifestyle Theme parks aim to create the atmosphere of another world and it is essentially the theme which becomes the main part of a theme park experience.
Thematic tourism has become increasingly popular where travel is motivated by an interest in a particular subject or area rather than by the more rotational motivations such as idyllic scenery and climate. The drawing power of teeming is evident in the fact that it has, in recent years, become a catalyst for the growth of new destinations based mainly on thematic leisure. This study attempts to identify and describe a distinct and representative set of theme types and attributes in a theme park and examines the relationship between visitors' motivation for visiting theme parks and theme preferences.
Weak to mod- irately strong relationships were found between motivation for theme park visits by visitors and their demographics and lifestyle patterns. Given the fact he theme park industry is still relatively young in Asia, the @endings of this study reinforce the need for Asian theme parks to focus strategically on satisfying lower-level needs, such as stimulation, by developing and marketing an adventure theme comparable with Western theme parks.
INTRODUCTION The theme park industry has witnessed a fairly rapid international expansion in recent years. In the US, the industry has reached maturity after 30 years of growth since the inception of Disneyland in the late asses, while in Europe, the industry has spread throughout Western Europe with a large concentration of attractions in Germany, France, the Benelux countries and the I-J. Reports from the Economist Intelligence Unit indicate that the worldwide trend of the theme park industry is growing. The North American theme park industry grew at a compound rate of almost 3 per cent in attendance over the past decade while Europe has become an attractive venue for corporate investment in theme park development by European consortia and large US corporations. Following Europe is Asia, which has been [email protected] as the world's next leading international theme park market. In North Asia, Downloaded from Xv. Seepage. Com at University College Birmingham on December 27, 2014 Volvo.
NO. 4, 1999, up. 319В±332, & Henry Stewart Publications, 1356-7667 page 319 like Europe, the industry has experienced a rapid growth phase spurred on by strong demand, a growth which is expected to continue over the next ten years. 2 The number of theme parks has been growing in the Asian region. Since 1991, for example, there have been major theme parks developed in Sheehan, China, such as the China Folk Culture Villages, Splendid China and the Window of the World.
In Singapore, the Haw Par Villa Dragon World and Tang Dynasty Village were opened in 1991, in addition to its existing Santos Island which features several theme parks. In terms of visitor attendance, Hong Gong's premier theme park, Ocean Park, attracted an annual attendance of 4. 1 million in 1996, a growth rate of 22 per cent over the previous year. 3 This suggests that the industry's potential is enormous in Asia and at the same time implies that theme park developers are facing increasingly keen competition.
However, despite the performance of the industry and the tourism earnings contributed by its strong growth, there is still a lack of information available on theme parks' performance, positioning and development in Asia. 4 Teeming and theme parks A theme park is 'an amusement park that has hemmed attractions, be it food, costumes, entertainment, retail stores and/or rides' according to the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (APIPA). Theme parks are distinguished from other amusement parks in that there is a theme that runs through all or most of their attractions.
These attractions might be marketed under one general idea or personality, or they could comprise a cluster of different themes at one central location. 5 The theme, therefore, becomes the main part of the theme park experience. Even though theme parks were usually thought of as having a major theme, most of them in act contain multi-themes in terms of different themed areas. Some park managers use themes to increase attendance over a period of time, say, during festivals or special events.
However, even though the term 'theme' page 320 may sometimes be unclear, by reference to the [email protected] used by the APIPA, the themes [email protected] in this study may be thought of as: (I) the main theme which runs through all or most of the attractions, such as the movie theme of the Warner Brothers' Movie World; (it) the sub-themes which are found in a park in the form of different themed areas like the Frontiersman, Adventured, Fantastical, Discoverable and he Main Street USA of Disney's Magic Kingdom; and (iii) the transitional themes, that is, themes that are created for special events which only last for a certain period of time to boost attendance. Some examples are the Far West Festival and Space Festival as seen in Disneyland Paris in 1994 and 1995 respectively. Theme parks are becoming increasingly attractive to the tourist who has limited vacation time, as by their very nature, they provide a condensed holiday product. 6 A good example is Disney's new 'Animal Kingdom' in Florida which replicates a safari park in East Africa.
Theme parks aim to create the atmosphere of another worlds and t is essentially the theme itself that creates such an atmosphere. A theme represents a story line or framework which highlights a particular attraction at a destination. 8 It attempts to tell a story and through this story the visitor is transported to another place and a unique experience is created. However, since theme parks are still a relatively new concept in tourist attractions,9 there is a paucity of literature on success and failure of theme parks around the world. Past studies have focused primarily on theme park selection,10 visitor behavior,11 visitor segmentation etc but not on the intrinsic alee of the theme park D the theme itself.
Competitive teeming Recent years have seen the emergence of many themes, only limited by imagination. For example, there have been themes that were based on the success of a product, such as Legends in Denmark, and others that were built on the mythology of a culture like the Haw Par Villa Dragon World in Singapore. The more successful parks have been Wong and Chemung able to use the theme to create a competitive advantage over the others. Teeming promotes the creation of a whole new atmosphere based on the unique experience that a theme park offers. For instance, in all the Disney properties, there is a fantasy element that allows guests to escape the urban setting and go to places they dream about. 3 Thematic tourism, in fact, represents tourism with a relatively narrow focus, where trips are motivated by an interest in a particular subject or area rather than the more traditional motivations such as the lure of idyllic scenery and pleasant climate. More importantly, teeming in some ways is divorced from the idea of place, relegating the consideration of location to being the background for a theme, rather than being the primary motivating factor. 14 There are a number of advantages in hemming. First of all, teeming is important for creating an initial perception of quality. 15 Secondly, themes are means to be used to help boost attendance. For example, 'themed' discount programmer are created to aim at certain market segments. 6 They are likely to encourage repeat visitation, as a themed environment provides a unique, memorable experience which increases the probability that guests will return. Visitors will tell friends about their visits, providing effective word-of-mouth advertising. 17 Thirdly, teeming is a value-adding factor. The themed retail park 'Knot's Camp Snoopy' demonstrated that 'the mall with a hemmed entertainment experience will be superior to the mall without such opportunity'. 18 Fourthly, teeming allows coordination of retail merchandise, which can in turn increase the guests' retail expenditure. 19 Finally, theme parks that use an easily recognizable and interesting theme will have a competitive advantage over those which do not. 0 This is especially so when there is very strong competition and the equipment is very similar D the way to differentiate is by teeming. 21 In addition, as the industry matures and visitors become more experienced and discerning, teeming may be needed for a more sophisticated market. The power of teeming or thematic tour- ism is evident in the fact that it has, in recent years, become a catalyst for the growth of new destinations based solely on thematic leisure. 22 Theme park developers have converted existing attractions into theme parks. To be more competitive and recover the loss of market share or [email protected], developers have to diversify their 'product offering'.
For example, there has been the growth in demand for attractions with a space theme. Therefore, knowing what themes guests look for is essential to both potential and existing theme park investors. New types of theme parks are Ewing developed around the world which shift their focus away from the conventional features off 'Disneyland' type attraction and further differentiate themselves. This is evidenced a plan to develop a theme park at the site of the 1969 Woodstock music festival to recreate its counter-culture spirit and another based on crocodiles in Florida, named 'Jungle Cross of the World'. 23 Purpose of study The purpose of the study is to examine the importance of the theme in the marketing of theme parks.
Since the theme is an important factor affecting the choice of theme parks by visitors, it is important to ascertain more accurately what visitors' preferences are in terms of themes and how their demographic characteristics and lifestyle in-ounce such preference. More [email protected], this study seeks to identify and describe a distinct but representative set of theme types and attributes in a theme park; to Nod out the theme preference(s) of the theme park visitors; to examine the relationship between theme park visitors' motivation (purpose of visit), demographics, chirography's (lifestyle) and their preference(s) for themes; and to examine the importance of teeming in the marketing of theme parks.
Motivation for visiting theme parks Pearce and Determent's leisure ladder provides a motivation framework to explain why people visit theme parks. 24 Five levels of need regarding theme park visitation are page 321 [email protected], with the highest level of need being listed as [email protected], followed by the need for self-esteem and development. The next level is relationship, which emphasis the need to build and extend one's personal relationships. This is followed by the need for stimulation. People in this group are concerned with the management of their arousal levels with emphasis on fun and thrill rides. The lowest level is that of relaxation or bodily needs (see Appendix).
Apart from understanding the basic motivation for theme park visitation, it is necessary to Nod out why one theme park is chosen over another. The theme here plays a role in differentiating the more successful parks from the less successful ones. It has a twofold [email protected] First, the nature of the theme chosen will have an impact on the type of customers attracted to the park. Some themes may have a broad and general appeal which caters to a wide spectrum of visitors while others may be more focused and have a narrower appeal. Secondly, teeming allows the creation of an enhanced atmosphere and guest experience. These effects, in fact, create the appropriately desirable image crucial to services marketing.
Service marketing The theme park industry is part of the service component of the tourism industry. Owing to the intangible nature of services, the creation of an [email protected] image is critical for service marketing. Even though the image and the theme are not identical in nature, the theme helps project an image by the sort of theme chosen and the teeming. For example, the fantasy theme of Disneyland helps project its image of delight, fun and fantasy. Further, the extensive teeming of Disney gives a perception of high quality. The decision made by a consumer to purchase a product or service is directly in-nuanced by the image the individual has of himself/herself and the perceived image of the product or seller.
This may explain the psychological process involved when a visitor chooses to go to a theme park with a page 322 particular theme, say, an adventure theme; he views himself as adventurous. It can be postulated that the chirography's of consumers help predict the sort of theme they prefer. Moreover, the service nature of theme parks make image creation a [email protected] task as it is intrinsically abstract. Thus, service marketers may be able to build the image of [email protected] reality and differentiate it from other realities' by the presentation of tangible evidences and experiences simulating reality. By promoting a theme, customers can then use these created physical facilities and props to Judge service quality.
For example, teeming is often done with the careful choice of types of architecture, costumes and other settings displayed in the park. Theme preference In a study by McClure it was found that the type of theme is one of the factors affecting tourists' preference for theme parks. 25 Results also indicate that there is a correlation between themes and attractions so that inconsiderable multi-segmentation strategies can be devised to cater to different market segments. For example, wet and wild themes correlate highly with family attractions. This type of theme can be used to attract younger people and families with children looking for thrills and excitement.
Moreover, research has revealed that international tourists with different cultural backgrounds exhibit distinct patterns of preference when they travel. Caucasians were found to be different from Asian visitors in terms of preference for theme park attributes concerning the nature of the attraction, activities and themes. 26 Furthermore, the importance of the cultural element in planning and designing theme parks has been emphasized by Gorger, who stressed the need to seek an appropriate philosophy of concept that re-acted Eastern thought and traditions for a park located in the Orient. 27 These important differences point to the need for more theme park studies to provide data for theme park developers catering to international tourists from diverse cultural backgrounds.
METHODOLOGY Theme types and attributes A detailed review of tourism and theme park literature and promotion brochures was conducted to Nod out the theme attributes of theme parks. Words used to describe the home or general atmosphere associated with the theme parks that appeared more than once were recorded. A list of descriptions was generated by a review of promotional literature, and was expanded by conducting interviews with Eve experienced theme park professionals who were asked to list all the theme types used by theme parks around the world based on their experience and knowledge. [email protected] Theme attributes were derived and content analysis was used to sort out the adjectives used.
Obvious duplication and overindulges descriptors were eliminated and a list of 75 attributes was compiled. As the list contained many descriptors that ere similar to each other, the latter were reduced to a smaller number and regrouped into attributes that were more likely to represent one single theme. Content analysis was to distinguish different theme types and, after regrouping, the resulting attributes were [email protected] into seven main ones. These theme types were then shown to the volunteers who had past experience in theme park settings to obtain further feedback for Nonliving the grouping of theme types. Table 1 shows the Anal grouping into seven theme types used in this study.
Motivation for theme park visitation To ascertain the motivation for theme park sitting, ten statements were constructed, based on Pearce and Determent's leisure ladder for theme park settings, each stating visitors' different reasons for visiting to theme parks.

The potential end of a federal citizenship program was called "cruel" by some Indiana officials but seen as an opportunity for immigration reform.
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Tuesday the Trump administration's decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, giving a six-month time frame for Congress to draft its own immigration proposal, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
"President Trump's decision to terminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was a cruel and heartless blow to vulnerable young citizens who want nothing more than a chance at the American dream," Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. said.
The DACA program, which former President Obama created in 2012, has given nearly 800,000 young immigrants a reprieve from deportation and the ability to work legally in the form of two-year, renewable work permits.
"Instead of creating a path to citizenship for the 800,000 youths in this program, as promised, President Trump has decided to punish those who did step forward through the threat of deportation from the only country they have ever known," McDermott said. "Maybe President Trump needs to be reminded that most of our ancestors came to this country by boat? In fact, this diversity of cultures is one of the things that makes America so great."
Those who signed up for the DACA program trusted in the government to create a legal path toward citizenship, McDermott said. They also were vetted for criminal history or threats to national security and had to be students or in the military, McDermott said adding that their status had to be renewed every two years.
"I am disappointed that the administration appears to once again be moving away from a policy that seems fair, just and to be indicative of good business and good government," Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson, said in a statement. "I am optimistic that this provides an opportunity for Congress to act, not just to legislate DACA, but to create comprehensive immigration reform that meets the needs of employers, communities and current and future citizens."
The Gary Common Council in May passed a "Welcoming City" measure. The ordinance declared that Gary officials won't question a resident's immigration status during interactions with members of a city department.
"Upending existing protections for the nearly 10,000 young people in Indiana who have been living here for most of their lives isn't the path we should take," U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., said in a statement.
"It is deeply unfortunate that the administration's action will create uncertainty and fear for those enrolled in the DACA program who are innocent of the actions that brought them to the United States and who have obeyed our laws," U.S. Rep. Peter Visclosky, D-Merrillville, said in a statement. "The status of these participants should be dealt with as part of a comprehensive plan and not in the manner announced today."
Now in Congress' hands, members of Indiana's Washington delegation agreed it's time to look at a comprehensive immigration plan.
"I have long supported a comprehensive immigration solution that would aim to improve national security by strengthening border protections, limit wage competition by holding employers who hire undocumented workers accountable, and promote public safety by bringing those immigrants already contributing to our communities out of the shadows through an earned path to citizenship," Visclosky said in a statement.
"Our country is still in need of reforms to fix our immigration system and strengthen border security, but in the interim we should pass bipartisan legislation to give these young people, who were brought here through no fault of their own, some clarity and stability," Donnelly said in a statement.
U.S. Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., said Congress must address immigration policy.
"I continue to believe we must secure our southern border and fix our broken immigration system," Young said. "Irrespective of today's announcement, that requires a bipartisan solution in Congress that reforms our legal immigration system, prevents illegal immigration, and addresses the question of what to do with undocumented men, women and children already here."
McDermott said he hopes that Congress intervenes and puts the 800,000 people on a legal path toward citizenship.
Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb echoed the call for an immigration policy overhaul.
"Congress needs to do its job and act quickly," Stephanie Wilson, Holcomb's press secretary, said in an email.
Visclosky said anyone in Northwest Indiana wanting information or help with a pending application should contact his Merrillville office.

Napolitano & Katko Introduce Mental Health Services for Students Act
(WASHINGTON, DC) Today, Congressional Mental Health Caucus Co-Chairs, Reps. Grace F. Napolitano (D-CA-32) and John Katko (R-NY-24), along with 56 original cosponsors, proudly introduced H.R. 1109, the Mental Health Services for Students Act, to fund on-site mental health services for youth in schools nationwide.
"The Mental Health Services for Students Act builds on the great success of our youth suicide prevention program in Los Angeles County, where we are raising mental health awareness, reducing harmful stigma, and connecting our future leaders to life-saving care," Napolitano said. "Improved access to services forprevention, early identification, and intervention has helped countless youth in our communities thrive in school, at home, and in life, and it is a model that should be expanded to serve families across America. I thank Congressman Katko for his continued partnership, and I am grateful to all of our colleagues for joining in support of this critical legislation."
"In Central New York and in communities nationwide, there is a critical need to improve access to mental and behavioral healthcare in our schools," said U.S. Rep. John Katko. "Early intervention and preventative mental health programming is vital to treating and building better lives for the many children and families nationwide whose lives are impacted by mental illness. I'm proud to once again join my colleague Rep. Napolitano in re-introducing this measure and thank her for her leadership on this issue."
The Mental Services for Students Act, which Napolitano sponsored in the previous six Congresses under the title "Mental Health in Schools Act," would create a total of $200 million in grant funding for 100 schools across the country to provide on-site, culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health services for students. The proposal educates the entire school community—from students and their families, to teachers, administrators, and support personnel—on the warning signs and symptoms of mental illness to help identify and treat mental health issues before they escalate. It is patterned after a successful pilot program started in 2001 in Napolitano's area, which began in four schools that has now expanded to 29 schools throughout Los Angeles County, including much of the San Gabriel Valley.

The combined influence of connectivity and disorder on Jc and Tc performances in MgxB2+10 wt % SiC
Publication Details
Li, W. X., Zeng, R., Lu, L., Li, Y. & Dou, S. X. (2009). The combined influence of connectivity and disorder on Jc and Tc performances in MgxB2+10 wt % SiC. Journal of Applied Physics, 106 (9), 1-7.
The influences of connectivity and disorder on the critical current density Jc are discussed to clarify the different mechanisms of Jc(H) enhancement in different magnetic field ranges. Excess Mg in MgxB2+10 wt % SiC composites effectively improves the connectivity, as evidenced by both the resistivity properties and the Raman scattering. The promising Jc(H) of Mg1.15B2+10 wt % SiC is attributed to both the high connectivity and the improved irreversibility field, Hirr, which is in agreement with the Raman fitting analysis. Raman scattering measurements suggest a strengthened electron-E2g coupling and weakened disorder with Mg addition.

MARNAVA – A place of healing for children by children
When Marlon passed away on May 7th, I knew that the first thing my kids needed was bereavement counseling. Once I was able to come up for air, I started calling a few places for group counseling where my kids would be able to connect with other children that had lost a parent. Every single placed I called said that I would have to call back in September, as all of their programs were wrapping up for the Spring and would resume in the Fall. Imagine, my shock and disbelief that I had to wait several months for my children to get appropriate counseling. Since I am an advocate at heart, I expressed my disbelief and horror that these programs did not exist because the timing of my husband's death was not in line with their program schedule. My kids did start individual counseling, and are scheduled for group counseling in the Fall, but I am still quite bothered that resources were scarce when we needed them the most. Even though my kids had limited counseling, they are healing so beautifully and are so open to discuss the passing of their dad.
I have been so impressed at how resilient my children are that I had a discussion with them and asked if they would be willing to share their journey with other kids that have also lost a parent or loved one. They were so excited that they have already started documenting what they want to share. With that being said, in the Fall I will be launching MARNAVA.ORG, an organization for children by children who have lost a loved one. MARNAVA represents the names of my children. MARken. NAtalia AVA.
I foresee this organization being a very powerful and healing place for children that have had the bottom fall out from under them. It is one of of the most devastating things to watch a child yearn for their parent, but it is nothing less than a miracle to watch them rise from the sorrow in faith.
I know John-Marlon will be proud.
