By Becki Cohn-Vargas, Special to CNN
Editor’s Note: Becki Cohn-Vargas, Ed.D., has spent more than 35 years as a teacher, principal, curriculum director and superintendent. Currently, she is the director of Not In Our School, part of the national nonprofit Not In Our Town. She is building a network of educators taking action to stop bullying and create safe, accepting and inclusive schools.
All of us have experienced cruel behavior, either as a participant, victim or witness. The Not In Our School “Break Bullying”public service announcement, donated by the MAKE ad agency, appears to bring back those bad memories. The announcement depicts adults in a professional environment re-enacting the personal middle school bullying experience of the director, Mike Nelson. His point: If we would not stand for this at work, why do we stand for it happening to kids in schools? The purpose of the PSA is to make us want to do something - to intervene, unlike the co-workers who watch their colleague pushed to the floor.
Not In Our School focuses on solutions. It provides positive films and resources to networks of schools, so when MAKE first presented the video, we weren’t sure we could use it. But then we saw what happened when people viewed it. They started talking about how it looked when adults felt the kind of pain children experience every day. We launched the PSA for Bullying Prevention Month as a wake-up call. Our goal was to reach as many people as possible (55,000 to date) and spark conversation about taking bullying seriously. Then, we would talk about ways to successfully combat bullying in our schools.
When the CNN Schools of Thought blog posted “Break Bullying,” it received more than 500 comments from viewers. Some were heartening; many were not. Well-meaning comments posed possible solutions to bullying: Some were practical and others were outright scary. One man proudly admitted to paying $50 to a man he found on the street to beat up the bully, who ended up “in a hospital for a month.” One person even stated that bullying is a necessary rite of passage based on animal instinct, echoing others who felt that no matter what we do, bullying will never change.
Many told heartbreaking stories of their children being relentlessly bullied. Others talked of lifelong pain caused from being bullied as kids. More than a few comments described horrendous bullying experiences at work. Some reported being bullied by their bosses, forcing them to choose between taking the abuse or defending themselves at the risk of losing their jobs.
At Not In Our School we believe that there are effective solutions and they don’t include violence. With comprehensive efforts to change the school culture, former targets of bullying become strong and self-reliant. Perpetrators learn new ways of interacting, and bystanders, who make up 85% of most bullying situations, become upstanders for themselves and others. Not only do these solutions help stop bullying, but they also create welcoming communities for all.
This isn’t just a dream. It is happening across the country, as shown by these inspiring examples of people from all sectors and backgrounds who are building safe school communities:
School counselor Lauri Massari launched a student-led anti-bullying campaign that involved the entire community and 50,000 students participated. Older students mentored younger ones with anti-bullying techniques. Now in its third year, students report feeling safer at school.
Times Republican newspaper publisher Mike Schlesinger launched a citywide preventive anti-bullying initiative after suicides in a nearby town were attributed to bullying. He got everyone involved, from the football team to the community college to the local library, all making an ongoing commitment.
Susan Guess, a parent whose daughter was bullied, started a citywide campaign to address bullying. She brought the film “Bully”to town and raised funds for bullying prevention author Jodee Blanco to speak at every school in the district. She is now approaching city and state leaders to launch a “Kentucky: Not in Our State Campaign.”
Palo Alto, California
After a 2005 Not In our Town film showing, students proposed an annual anti-bullying effort that has continued with new activities each year: High school teachers lead classroom discussions about how to speak up to stop peers from saying “that’s so gay.” Middle school students respond to discrimination. High school students address negative stereotypes through a symbolic activity during lunch.
This small sampling reflects activities shared through more than 50 short Not In Our School videos that inspire other schools. Not In Our School is part of Not In Our Town, a national nonprofit organization whose 1995 PBS film featured a community that joined to say “not in our town” to hate crimes committed in Montana. The film sparked a national movement that rallied people to stand up to bullying, hate and intolerance, a movement that continues to this day.
Bullying is a serious problem, and the solutions belong to us all. We’re not in this alone, we need to stand together. We can join with thousands in taking bullying and intolerance seriously and working to create safer, more inclusive and accepting environments for our children, our workplaces and, by extension, society as a whole.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Becki Cohn-Vargas.
Bullying will stop if you go after the parents and put them in jail.
Where I live the individual Bully is a myth. It is the Gang problem that is worse. Bullying is alive and well in Gangs.
Bullying will continue as long as teachers and administrators continue to be bystanders. That's what happened in my school when I was bullied. When I took it to the administration, the principal told me "Boys will be boys." He told the bullies that what they were doing wasn't nice. There were no consequences for their actions. The bullying got worse after that. Finally I punched a few of them out, and that got me the basic respect that a human being deserves. As long as the schools turn a blind eye, violence is the only way to stop a bully from picking on you. That principal wanted boys to be boys, so I played by his rules. Shame on him, and on all the teachers that looked the other way.
Good for you, you got your respect. I'll bet you've seen life a lot more clearly after that, haven't you?
bullying will stop when we realize we need to do more than making rules and sending kids to the office! we need to call parents then put the kid in a class that teaches about bullying for at least 1 week.
bullying will never stop although its a horrible thing some people find it entertaining
We all know about the power of advertising. We once dealt with another issue, theft from a restaurant kitchen, by shining a bright light on it. Specifically, we let it be known that the food was going to be watched and accounted for systematically. The first inventories showed that the theft had stopped immediately. Ongoing checks showed that theft didn't restart. The anti-bullying campaigns may work in a similar way. If the school develops a well-publicized anti-bullying culture, it takes a very brave or screwed up person to continue bullying. Maybe the bullying doesn't stop 100%, but it surely would decrease. Only the most hard core bullies would remain, and it may be easier to identify them.
It's wonderful to realize that there are solutions to bullying – and those solutions do not perpetuate the psychological and physical violence of bullying. – they end the cycle to create inclusive and accepting environments for all. The models showcased in video format at Not In Our School are working! Now, how do we bring that model to the working environments for adults?!
I am not speculating to assert that bullying is acceptable in some homes. Bullying can create bullies, and it can create people like me who apparently know how to not be seen or felt by someone who is standing right in front of them. I have no ability to defend myself physically, but I have also never been attacked, either by the lethal looking kid who got up in my face in a deserted NYC subway station at 4:30am one day, or the three big black guys who questioned my right to enter a bar in an all-black neighborhood (which I did in order to play the kind of music I love), or the kid on the lonely street who aggressively but unsuccessfully requested funding I could not provide. The bully can be manipulated, which I do by assuming without showing fear that he is a nice person, and speaking with him that way.
Teach children what love and respect means. Teach them kindness... And reward them for their kindness to others.
I found the solution to the bully problem in the ninth grade.
1. Flex abductor muscles of carpal phalanges tightly.
2. Approach subject identified as bully through previous personal experience, off school grounds.
3. Suddenly and without prior warning, engage carpal unit, with considerable force, upon nasal area of subject.
4. While subject is temporarily disoriented and incapacitated by very extreme discomfort, perform forced rhinoplasty on subject by repeating step #3 until profuse issue of at least three bodily fluids from subject is witnessed.
5. Sternly advise subject that if unacceptable behavior is not corrected, the next session will be much more intense in nature.
You forgot step 6.
6. Wait for the police to arrive. Enjoy your court date. Have fun in juvinal hall.
Never happened, bully was too ashamed of letting his homies know that he got his @$$ kicked by a kid 4 inches shorter than him, the other kids in school would have made his life a living hell. That's what's wrong with this country today, common people are too p-u-s-s-i-f-i-e-d to defend themselves and get their respect against the unjust and the wicked, so their IS no respect. As Abu Abdallah Muhammad XII's mother told him over 500 years ago, when Spain kicked him out of Granada, "Thou dost weep like a woman for what thou couldst not defend as a man." (Quoted to me by my grandfather).
People have tried and tried. Bullying has gone down a lot, but it most likely won't stop for quite a while. Bullying is mostly done by kids who haven't gotten hurt so they think that hurting other people's feelings will make them feel better. Every year most schools tell children to use their 'cool tools' whenever they see a bully. When you see someone bullying someone else, going up to them and telling them to stop usually doesn't work. Kids don't tell the teacher because they fear they will get bullied by that same person. After all these anti-bullying assemblies boys and girls have to listen to, hopefully bullying will come to an end one day.
why cant these kids stop bulling other people at school and out on the streets when they see they anit got nun going for they life they want to ruin somebody elses let that peson live it life go find you somebody elsento pick on are just stop talking about people and hurting them thats why kids these days are killing they self ccause what other people say about them if youll see how much that hurt people you'l would stop.. please stop bulling other people just because you dont have nun going for your life and they do
I'll get back to you once I'm done translating this
As long as there is rampant Political Correctness, there will be bullying
And then we have people like Ann Coulter to act as models for our adults and children alike. Bullying does not go away. teaching kids how to deal with bullying in a positive and constructive way is so, so important. There will always be jerks.
Coulter has been seriously bullied by progressives and their absurd philosophies her entire life.
Start at the Top for a Solution to Bullying.
So what is Romneshia? Is it a very Direct form of Bullying?
Is Mr. President Obama acting as a Bully! Our Children are our Blessings, may we teach by example.

May we produce Great Leaders in this country by being a Great Leader.

Mainstream Media ( so called) needs to stop bullying America with liberal tripe and hooliganism.
Bullying is wrong! Most bullies are bullied by someone else, which sends a chain reaction of bullies. If we can stop anyone, from getting bullied by anyone it would be great. Yet bullying is human nature, Adolf Hitler bullied Jews, England bullied America when it was made of colonies, not states, you just can't defeat human nature, but you can always try. I mean look where America got by trying to fight back, not saying you should fight back, but you can stand up yourself, which I think if you were standing up to a particularly mean bully, or any bully in general, it would be a self accomplish, especially if you were a kid who is scared of getting teased, stand up even if they tease you more, still try.
If someone is so scared that they commit suicide, the person who was bullying them should be expelled or something else that serves as as a punishment. Also, if they a kid is so scared, that they won't go to school, you can try to go, I mean haven't these kids told adults and/or parents, if they haven't why don't they. If your reading this and you and/or your friend, or anybody you know in general is being bullied, and you haven't told anybody teacher or parent please, you could save someones back or their life.
The issue is parents of the bully. Chances are the apple does not fall far from the tree. So speaking with the parents of the bully might solve the problem, chances are it will not.
Removing bullies from the school and placing all bullies into one school should be part of the solution.
Students who want to learn should be in a hostile free environment.
Thank you for drawing attention to this matter. I wish adults in the public sphere like Ann Coulter, who recently tweeted that President Obama is a "retard," were as mature as some of our children who are learning about ethical and compassionate behavior through your hard work.
James Mulhern, http://www.synthesizingeducation.net
You are so right. We need to LISTEN to everyone who poses solutions. "After Special Olympian John Franklin Stephens heard about a tweet in which someone called someone else a "retard," he did something awesome. He wrote an open letter to the offensive person in which he explained, "You, and society, need to learn that being compared to people like me should be considered a 'badge of honor,' and not used as an insult." http://piersmorgan.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/26/john-franklin-stephens-on-his-open-letter-to-ann-coulter-use-me-as-a-symbol-of-adversity/
Keep telling kids getting bullied is worse than death and they'll keep killing themselves for getting teased!
Government teachers need to stop bullying the American taxpayers. They only care about their pensions, health care, and job security. F rated schools fighting for bad teachers right to teach? Bullying the parents by fighting other options. Teaching the kids that this is how you get your way. Calling people names when they don't support union propaganda. Its time for government and unions to get out of teaching. They are failing our children.
Sure whatever you say. I bet if your employer was asking to cut your pay while increasing your workload you would be screaming for help from a union.
No, but if I was paying some union boss part of my salary and he was making twenty times my pay then I'd sure be up in arms about it. Union bosses make hundreds of thousands af dollars of your money. For what? So you can use a plastic scraper instead of a metal one? To limit how much you can work? To keep you from being promoted over that useless pud next to you who has seniority?
People should band together when there is safety issues but stay out of my salary and work negotiations. Let me do my job to the very best of my ability and not hamper my production because someone else looks bad. Lets promote people who do good jobs and fire those who dont.
We should push for a law that treats bullies like felons. Those convicted of bullying leading to the psychological trauma of another should be disqualified from employment until they undergo 2-4 years of psychological treatment and empathy training. R.I.P. Amanda.
Grow a pair, Francis.

Ruth Stoeckel, Ph.D. June 9-10, 2014
On June 9th and 10th, speech language pathologists and graduate students had the pleasure to hear Ruth Stoeckel, Ph.D., discuss Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS). Dr. Stoeckel is a speech-language pathologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. She is on the professional advisory board of the Childhood Apraxia of Speech Association of North America (CASANA) and edited the curriculum for CASANA’s intensive training institute on CAS.
During this workshop, attendees were informed about the different methods of evaluation and treatment of children with severe speech sound disorders and how to make differential diagnoses. Different assessment procedures, including standardized and dynamic tools, were discussed. The clinicians and students viewed videos of real clients from Mayo Clinic to demonstrate application of material presented during Dr. Stoeckel’s lectures. The CAS workshop was very beneficial to seasoned clinicians and up-coming students alike in helping them become more aware of CAS and ways to assess and treat this unique disorder.
Debora Daniels, Ph.D., Rene Jamison, Ph.D June 11-12, 2014
The second workshop was held June 11th and 12th and was led by Dr. Debora Daniels, a speech language pathologist, and Dr. René Jamison, a psychologist. The two doctors are both on the University of Kansas Medical Center staff and work with developmentally delayed teens and adults.
This workshop focused on educating the attendees about the different benchmarks for typically developing pragmatic language skills in school age children and adolescents. Evidence for the presence of pragmatic deficits was discussed for a variety of developmental disorders, including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Fragile X.
Dr. Daniels also shared about the social group she started for developmentally delayed young adults. This group focuses on pragmatic functions such as conversation and turn-taking. Dr. Jamison also started a social group called Girls Night Out. The goal of this group is to introduce young girls with developmental disorders to appropriate social and self-care skills.
This workshop helped the attendees become more aware of some of the pragmatic difficulties those with developmental disorders might experience. It also enabled these professionals to gather some new fresh ideas on what to do for treatment and therapy to address some of these difficulties in a fun and engaging manner.

Who needs Russian hackers to undermine our elections when we’ve got President Donald Trump?
On a day when the country’s economic output plunged at its fastest rate on record and the death toll for COVID-19 passed more than 150,000, the president chose not to use his platform to address those real crises facing Americans. Nor was he among the mourners, including three former presidents, at the late civil rights hero Rep. John Lewis’ funeral in Atlanta.
Instead, he took to Twitter to peddle a thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory and sow doubt about the legitimacy of the upcoming Nov. 3 presidential election.
“With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history,” Trump tweeted Thursday morning. “It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???”
The president does not have the authority to delay the U.S. general election. Article II of the Constitution empowers Congress to set that date — which was designated by federal law in 1845 as the Tuesday following the first Monday in November. Only an act of Congress could change that — something upon which even staunch Trump defenders in Congress such as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell agreed within hours of president’s tweet.
There is no evidence of widespread election fraud — by mail-in ballot or otherwise. A voting integrity commission appointed by Trump disbanded without finding any evidence of voter fraud. This week, U.S. Attorney General William Barr testified he had “no reason to think” that the upcoming election will be “rigged.”
Five states — Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington and Utah — already hold elections almost entirely by mail. More have been moving to allow vote-by-mail or absentee voting to lessen the risks of large crowds during the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump’s tweet is not about election fraud or keeping the ballot box secure. It’s about a president desperate to distract from his falling approval ratings.
It’s about pulling attention away from his administration’s inept response to the pandemic, which continues unabated in the U.S. while other countries have contained the spread.
He wants us to forget about the collapsing economy, the miles\long car lines of families at food banks, the more than 30 million people out of work, the millions facing eviction. On Thursday, as Trump tweeted falsehoods, his Commerce Department reported that the nation’s economy shrank by 9.5 percent from April through June, the largest quarterly decline on record.
The president wants us to ignore not only the constitution but the proud electoral history of our country, which has held elections through war, natural disaster and depression. During the Civil War, more than 150,000 Union soldiers voted by mail in 1864.
Even now, in the midst of a pandemic, Americans have streamed to the polls. In Texas, the July runoff elections drew record-high voter turnout despite searing temperatures and a surge in coronavirus cases.
If the president was truly concerned about protecting the votes of each American and keeping the election secure, there are things he could do. He and his fellow Republicans could push for passage of a bill to restore protections stripped from the landmark Voting Rights Act, legislation that has been sitting on McConnell’s desk for months. Trump could demand funding to help shore up election security, such as the $3.6 billion contained in the HEROES Act passed by House Democrats. He could call for more money for the struggling U.S. Postal Service, on the brink of bankruptcy.
He could, as Lewis did in a New York Times op-ed written in his final days, urge Americans to exercise a right guaranteed by the Constitution, one for which Lewis and others shed blood.
“The vote is the most powerful nonviolent change agent you have in a democratic society,” Lewis wrote. “You must use it because it is not guaranteed. You can lose it.”
Democracy, as Lewis liked to say, is not a state; it is an act. Trump knows this, too. That’s why, between now and Election Day, he seems set on doing everything he can to taint, obstruct and discourage the act of voting.
Earlier this month, when asked if he’d accept a potential defeat in November, Trump answered in part: “I don’t like to lose.”
Nor do we, Mr. President. You have taken so much from America over the past four years — our dignity, our international standing, our moral high ground. You may not have our election, too.

Start-up founder Nikhil Kamath apologises after cheating to beat Viswanathan Anand in charity game-Sports News , Firstpost
“I had help from the people analysing the game, computers… In hindsight, it was quite silly,’ tweeted Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath after ‘beating’ Viswanathan Anand in a charity chess match on Sunday
The co-founder and CFO of start-up Zerodha, Nikhil Kamath, has apologised after he cheated to beat Indian chess legend Viswanathan Anand in a charity chess match on Sunday.
The five-time world champion Anand was playing simultaneously against a host of celebrities for a fundraising event organised by Chess.com and All India Chess Federation, called Checkmate COVID. The money raised from the initiative was to be donated to The Akshaya Patra Foundation. Anand’s “opponents” were to include actor Aamir Khan, cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, composer and songwriter Arijit Singh, actor Riteish Deshmukh, producer-director Sajid Nadiadwala, along with Kamath.
Surprisingly, Kamath won the charity game against the country’s biggest chess legend.
But a day later, Chess.com suspended his account while Kamath issued an apology on Twitter.
“I had help from the people analysing the game, computers and the graciousness of Anand sir himself to treat the game as a learning experience. This was for fun and charity. In hindsight, it was quite silly as I didn’t realise all the confusion that can get caused due to this. Apologies,” he tweeted.
He also added, “It is ridiculous that so many are thinking that I really beat Vishy in a chess game, that is almost like me waking up and winning a 100m race with Usain Bolt.”
Anand, on his part, posted an image of Kamath’s statement on Twitter, and added, “Yesterday was a celebrity simul (simultaneous games) for people to raise money It was a fun experience upholding the ethics of the game. I just played the position on the board and expected the same from everyone.”

— Viswanathan Anand (@vishy64theking) June 14, 2021
Even Kamath’s apology stirred controversy, with the start-up founder appearing to imply that the Grandmaster knew that he would be getting help.
However, people close to Anand shot down the claim immediately.
Grandmaster Surya Shekhar Ganguly tweeted, “Cheating starts @nikhilkamathcio Continues till end. Now trying to say @vishy64theking knew it. No he didn’t. Like everyone he is also shocked (sic).”
While it is not known what computer program Kamath used to cheat, Danny Rensch, the Chief Chess Officer at Chess.com, posted a statement which hinted that Kamath’s account was shut due to unfair practises used by him. The statement did not name Kamath or what method he had used to beat Anand.
“No account closure is made without hard, statistical evidence as well as a rigorous manual review… No account closure brings us joy, but we remain committed and work hard to ensure that all chess games are played fairly on Chess.com…” the statement read.

The fascinating world of gambling is bound to interest anyone. Whether it’s the lucrative winning opportunities or the adrenaline rush from its glorious uncertainty, there is something for all. However, there is a high chance of getting carried away in this world of bling. This is where GamStop comes into action. Founded in 2017, this platform allows any punters to voluntarily exclude themselves from excessive punting.
The GamStop self-exclusion program is very rigorous and strict, considering how all the UKGC license holding casinos need to enlist themselves as part of the initiative. The self-exclusion program was formulated to promote responsible gambling on part of the punters as well as the casinos. But there are certainly more than meets the eyes. Here’s what you need to know about whether you should use GamStop:
For Whom Gamstop is Beneficial
To be honest, people are divided with their opinion about GamStop. To many, GamStop is a pioneering initiative in ensuring responsible gambling, but to others, it’s just another obstacle in the way of limitless gambling.
With the pandemic in effect, most people are left stranded in their homes. This provides a lucrative opportunity for online casinos to rake in customers, and so they have. To keep excessive personal rake up in check, many people opt for GamStop exclusion.
And that is perfectly fine as a recent study shows that the number of gamblers has grown exponentially, as has their investment. It’s only logical to implement GamStop to put a halt to the unchecked expenditure and investment.
So, if you’re compulsive about gambling, GamStop is definitely for you.
And since self-exclusion applies to all the UKGC license holding casinos, punters based in the UK are hard on luck with their hand. However, the situation is changing. The catch with GamStop was that only the UKGC license holding casinos were bound to follow the exclusion clause. It doesn’t apply to the foreign license holding casinos.
This has opened the door for many Curacao based gambling sites to take the limelight. Many punters are trying out these new sites as they offer heavy sign up bonuses. This has not only opened new windows of opportunity for punters but is also causing considerable headache to GamStop itself.
To Whom GamStop isn’t Suitable
To answer this question, you need to understand whether you’re a compulsive gambler. Do you have control over yourself while gambling or do you get carried away by the impulse? If it’s the latter, then surely, GamStop is for you.
You see, the main vision behind GamStop was to promote and ensure responsible gambling. And by ‘responsible,’ we mean you not taking away your hard-earned money.
Of course, you can never be too careful, and we wholeheartedly support you signing up for it. But it’s the exclusion time frame that is the issue.
GamStop has an exclusion time frame of either 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. Now, if you have signed up accidentally or thought you should have some time off, you would suddenly realize that you can’t get in for half a year.
And on top of that, there is no way to reverse it, neither can you open a new account with a new credential – the tracking is that strong. However, if you have accidentally signed up, you might be able to reverse your exclusion, but that totally depends on the authority. You can read more about the GamStop cancellation process on NonGamStopBets.com, there you will find the complete guide for all UK players who want to stop GamStop self-exclusion.
This has been the point of discontent among the punters that GamStop is very serious with their exclusion policy. So, if you think you’re not a compulsive person, we would suggest you stay away from GamStop.
We accept that the idea behind the Gamstop exclusion initiative is commendable but the process and strictness make it a hassle for professionals as well as gamblers.
We acknowledge their commitment to responsible gambling, but for the most part, it is just causing a bar to business for casinos and punters alike. With that said, GamStop is far from ideal and it’s better to not sign up for it in the first place.

November 24, 2011
EDMONTON - A new report shows the number of Alberta children living
in poverty has increased 40 per cent in recent years, and Alek Kuots
six children are among them.
The 35-year-old Sudanese refugee was
laid off last year and her husband, who works in a bakery, brings home
$2,000 a month. Rent is $1,400.
It is hard, Kuot said in broken
English while her four-year-old son Deng played at his ABC Head Start
program Wednesday morning. The family escaped from war-torn Sudan, where
Kuot was shot through the knees when she was 12 years old.
shop at discount places, I try to find work ... but I cant (read or
write) English so it is hard for me to get a job. When I am working, I
cannot (find) daycare, Kuot said. The children cant take part in
school activities because the family cant afford it, Kuot said, even
with the help of a $1,000 child tax credit.
The report, In This Together: Ending Poverty in Alberta, was released Wednesday by a coalition of anti-poverty advocacy groups.
cites Statistics Canada figures that show the number of children living
below the poverty line in Alberta jumped from 53,000 in 2008 to 73,000
in 2009, the last year for which figures are available.
single moms are still twice as likely to live in poverty as women living
with partners, the poverty rate has doubled among children in
two-parent families, the report says.
Further, nearly half of all children who live in poverty come from homes where one or more people work full-time, year round.
rising tide may lift all boats, but Albertas economy is lifting the
yachts much faster than it is lifting the canoes, said John Kolkman of
Edmontons Social Planning Council, which released the report with the
Alberta College of Social Workers and Public Interest Alberta. The
recession hit vulnerable Albertans hard.
Lori Sigurdson, a social
worker and provincial NDP candidate in Edmonton-Riverview, said the
province needs a comprehensive poverty reduction strategy. We all
benefit when the most vulnerable in our society are cared for, she
Head Start executive director Kathy Lenihan said the
preschool program for low-income families turns away 900 needy families
each year. She said children from impoverished families suffer high
levels of dental problems, learning delays and interpersonal troubles,
partly because parents are stressed and working and dont have adequate
The message I have for this government is that these
kids are here. We work with 370 every year, we cant begin to serve all
of those who knock on our door, Lenihan said. Child poverty is real in
this province and until we start to address it is not going go away.
Alison Redford responded to the report saying rising child poverty
rates are not acceptable and pointed to her governments plan to
introduce a social policy framework that ensures the province is taking
care of its most vulnerable.
Redford rejected the idea that a
growing economy alone has the power to address poverty, calling the
notion ill-informed. Thats not true, she said. A province of nearly
four million people can develop structural social issues if those
potential problems are not addressed early on, she said. We have to
deal with that.
Kuot, the impoverished mother of six, was asked
whether she has a message for the premier. She said no, she doesnt know
how to fix poverty. She did have a question.
I would like her to
show me how I should divide up the money, Kuot said. If they will
come divide up the money (then) they can see how hard it is for me.

Yippee, the studio is clean! I don't know about you, but this time of year sends me into
a whirlwind of organization. Anyone who knows me, or has taken a class with me,
will tell you that I am a pretty organized gal naturally, but there is something about
the New Year that makes me want to purge, scrub, evaluate, and declutter.
It might originate from my childhood New Year's tradition with my Auntie,
who always had me take shower New Years morning, to wash off "last years dirt."
I spent the last week moving, sorting, recycling, donating, and generally sprucing
up the studio. My Mr. will tell you of the horror half way through when I regretted
even beginning the task, and threatened to put everything back exactly where it had been.
But I kept plugging away, not quite seeing the end of the tunnel, but having enough
light to see my next few steps. And wah-lah, a studio transformation was born!
I think this is a great metaphor for any life change or creative endeavor.
Sometimes you can't see the finish line, but you can see to the next bend,
and you know what, sometimes that's enough to get you all the way home.
Just think of birds in migration, some who have never made the trip before,
they trust in their instincts and their flock give them strength to make the journey.
So dear friends, I wish for you a year of not giving up!
Whether it be a painting that hasn't found it's final composition,
a sketchbook half filled, or a poem half done, keep at it!
This world needs your creative light to help illuminate us all from the darkness.
Be a beacon of creativity!
Your creative community is here with you, cheering you onward, Tally-Ho!

Since there have been so many new magazines with Matthew on the cover lately, I thought it’d be nice to update the photo archive with many more. Over 30 albums with scans from 2001-2013 have been added, as the archive was missing a lot of them (many still lack the editorial and article). Click on the previews below to see them all in in full size. If you have any scans to contribute, please send them our way at firstname.lastname@example.org, full credit will be given. Thanks!
The cast of Interstellar – Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway – covers another magazine this week, namely The Hollywood Reporter. This time alongside the epic film’s director Christopher Nolan. They sat down for a roundtable interview with the magazine, where they discussed the movie to space and back (get it?) for the issue. Read the entire article at the magazine’s official website. Interstellar arrives in theaters worldwide on November 7th (and to IMAX screens two days early).
Did you all get involved with the science? Did you all meet Kip Thorne? What did you ask him?
Anne Hathaway: I tried to understand the science in the movie, but I don’t remember anything about what I talked to Kip about except at the end, when we talked about playing the trumpet. Because he played the trumpet and I used to play the trumpet.
Jessica Chastain: I remember on set I was writing this very complex equation, and of course I needed to know, I needed it to look like I knew what I was talking about. I was trying to memorize this “XYZ3″ insane [equation] — and he said, “In actuality, this could be three blackboards long.” (Laughs.)
McConaughey: Any conversation with Kip, you don’t come away with any more acute of a finite answer. You come away with more questions. Every answer opens up another question. So it sort of exponentially gets longer and longer. We talked about the bending of timelines — theoretically, how you would go faster than the speed of light.
Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway were recently interviewed by The New York Times about their film, Interstellar. The article features some nice portraits of the actors, as well as some great answers to the magazine’s questions. As always, click on the preview to the left to see the pictures in full size in our photo archive, then click here to read the article. More coming up on MMO in a few, stay tuned.
Ms. Chastain, Ms. Hathaway and Mr. McConaughey gathered recently to discuss the pathways that led them to “Interstellar” and the universes to which it introduced them. Together, they carried themselves less like a crew of seasoned, seen-it-all veterans than three guileless novices still acclimating to their mission and to one another. They kidded around, swapped notes on Mr. Nolan and their interpretations of the film, and apologized profusely for their lack of Ph.D.s.
These are excerpts from that conversation.
Q. Did any of you grow up dreaming of someday becoming an astronaut?
MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY I did not. I was very much, what’s happening on the ground was going to be enough. Until I made “Contact” [the 1997 movie about the search for extraterrestrial life]. That made me actually wonder: “O.K., it’s not just what’s happening here, east, west, in front of us. You can look up. What’s the new frontier to the north?”
JESSICA CHASTAIN I loved Princess Leia as a kid. I loved that she was so badass and took control. But I have no interest in being one of those people on the spaceships they’re advertising that go to the moon. No thank you. I’ll be one of those people that stays on Earth, eating corn.
ANNE HATHAWAY When I was in fifth grade, my older brother asked me how I was doing in school, and I said I did just get a 52 on a math test. Later, I said I wanted to be an astronaut, and he said, ‘Well, you’re going to have to raise your math scores if you want to do that.’ Later in life, I discovered I do love science, and I do love physics. But I was really happy that in this film, I could still be bad at math and be an astronaut.
The promotion for Interstellar are kicking into full gear this week, and Matthew McConaughey is featured on the cover of several magazines. One of them is the November issue of GQ magazine. He talks about the movie, his career so far, and about his family. It’s an interesting article for sure, so be sure to head over to GQ’s site to read the full piece. Click on the previews below to see scans from the issue, as well as outtakes from the photoshoot in our photo archive. Enjoy!
How do you like the word McConaissance?
It’s a cool word. It sounds good. It’s got a good meter.
It’s almost like you had to have one, just so we could call it that.
When you say it, it’s like, “I don’t know what that is, but it sounds good.”
You’ve been famous since your early twenties. Did you feel like it was a problem, having your image set at such a young age?
I’ve never had fears that I was stuck in one thing. I’m sure we’re going to talk about the years when I was in romantic comedies and I was seen as the guy who was on the beach, running around shirtless. I did that. Damn right that was me. I wasn’t scared like, “Oh God, I’m going to be stuck here.” But I was like, I understand at some point that that is in italics now. So I said, “You know what? I’m not going to be openly presenting that for a while. I’m going to un-brand.”
To accompany the previous post, here are a couple of video clips of Matthew McConaughey as well as some of the co-stars that honored him at the American Cinematheque ceremony. They talk about his roles in film and TV, and they all really are so happy to be there. Again, big congrats to Mr. McConaughey for the honor!
As mentioned before, Matthew McConaughey was honored by The American Cinematheque on Tuesday night for his work in film and television. He was joined at the event by his wife, children, mother and tons of co-stars such as Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Garner, as well as Interstellar director Christopher Nolan. I have added well over 300 pictures from the event to our photo archive! Big thanks to my friend Luciana of both Jessica-Chastain.com and Anne-Hathaway.net for many of the images.
While on the set of Entertainment Weekly’s cover story, Matthew McConaughey and Interstellar co-stars Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway answered some questions about space – and they got all of them right! Be sure to watch the video, presented by Entertainment Tonight, below or in our video archive. Enjoy!
Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway are on the cover of this week’s Entertainment Weekly, on newsstands today. Thanks to my friend Luciana, we have digital scans from the magazine in our photo archive already! Simply click on the previews below to read the very interesting article about Interstellar right away.
It’s here! After a few new TV spots started showing, we have the latest trailer from Interstellar! The latest clip tells more of the plot, but also features lots of stunning imagery just like the previous trailers. Can’t tell you how excited I am to finally see the movie when it’s released on November 7th. Interstellar is directed and co-written by Christopher Nolan and stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine and more. Watch the new trailer below or in our newly opened video archive!
In other Interstellar news, it was announced that the movie will open two days earlier (Nov 5) in 240 IMAX theaters across the US and Canada. Read more about that on Variety.com.
According to multiple sources, Gus Van Sant’s The Sea of Trees has wrapped filming and will continue in post-production. The movie – starring Matthew McConaughey, Ken Watanabe and Naomi Watts – was filmed on location in Japan and Massachusetts. Along with this piece of news, we also got the official synopsis for the film. Check it out below. The Sea of Trees is expected to arrive in cinemas sometime in 2015 (possibly later in the year, in time for the 2016 award season).
Arthur Brennan (Matthew McConaughey) treks into Aokigahara, known as the The Sea of Trees, a mysterious dense forest at the base of Japan’s Mount Fuji where people go to contemplate life and death. Having found the perfect place to die, Arthur encounters Takumi Nakamura (Ken Watanabe), a Japanese man who has also lost his way. The two men begin a journey of reflection and survival, which affirms Arthur’s will to live and reconnects him to his love with his wife (Naomi Watts).

Along the way, you’ll hear from John Carmack and John Romero sharing stories from id Software’s early days, Cliff Bleszinski on Unreal and Unreal Tournament, Warren Spector on System Shock and Deus Ex, Marcus Lehto and Joseph Staten on Halo, and many more, each weighing in not only on their own projects, but also on other games that inspired them.

All four id Software founders, John Carmack, John Romero, Tom Hall, and Adrian Carmack share stories about the early days of the company, taking a deep dive into the making of classics such as Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and Quake.
They are joined by fellow id Software alumni, including Sandy Petersen and American McGee, as well as publisher Apogee Software’s founder Scott Miller and others, who each add their own insights.
- John Romero shares the exciting moment when Doom’s level design and aesthetic crystallized in a way that guaranteed it would become an evolutionary leap beyond Wolfenstein 3D.
- John Carmack speaks candidly about the challenge Quake’s true-3D engine posed for him, going into detail on the obstacles he faced bringing it to life, and how this impacted the team.
Karl Hilton and Brett Jones reminisce about making the hit GoldenEye on N64, discussing level design, the extensive use of motion capture, and, of course, the split-screen multiplayer – which was completely unplanned.
- Hilton and Jones discuss how Nintendo cautioned studios against making first-person shooters for the Nintendo 64, claiming the hardware wouldn’t be up to the task – and the design hacks the Rare team used to prove them wrong.
- The team’s reaction to Shigero Miyamoto’s feedback to make the game ‘nicer’ – including the suggestion to have the player shake hands with enemies in the hospital at the end of the game!
“I Need a Weapon”
Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto, writer and cinematic director Joseph Staten, and designer Jaime Griesemer are joined by “Father of the Xbox” Seamus Blackley and former Microsoft Game Studios VP Ed Fries as they discuss the creation of the original Xbox and the enduring legacy of its most important game.
- Seamus Blackley shares how he thought he was going to be fired from the Xbox project after Bill Gates’ initial reaction to their plans, and his amazement at the support Bill went on to give the project.
- Halo designer Jaime Griesemer remembers the email from Bungie co-founder Jason Jones claiming the firepower of Halo’s pistol in multiplayer had been increased by approximately 25%, only to discover it was much (much, much) more powerful, as anyone who’s been sniped from all the way across Blood Gulch can attest!
…And Much Much More
At more than four hours long, First Person Shooter hits harder than a Brute Chieftain’s gravity hammer on Halo 2‘s Legendary difficulty, featuring 45+ experts who each add their own stories and insights. Check out the Full Cast tab to see them all (scroll down if you’re on mobile).
Our format lets you view the movie on your terms: binge the four-and-a-half-hour runtime in one go, or dip in and out using chapter breaks that let you get right to the stories you’re looking forward to the most.

A young economist from West Clare is considering throwing his name into the hat to run for Fianna Fáil in the next General Election.
26-year-old John Daly from Cooraclare, who’s a nephew of former Clare Fianna Fáil TD and Senator Brendan Daly, feels the knowledge he has garnered working as an economist would benefit this county.
The surprise move comes after Spanish Point psychiatrist Dr John Hillery withdrew last week from running as a West Clare candidate alongside East Clare’s Timmy Dooley.
John is a graduate of NUI Galway and the University of Limerick and now works as an economist in Dublin and says there needs to be government focus outside of the capital.
Party headquarters says it’s their National Constituencies Committee, and not local members, who will make the decision on who replaces Dr Hillery – something John has been telling Clare FM’s James Mulhall is not what he wants to see:

I’ve been on an unsuccessful bunny buy two weekends in a row. It’s not good for the soul. Today, the world tried to make it up to me, by having this ridiculously tiny chap appear in my garden. He’s having lunch by the path under my window.
It’s not usually that weedy, but that’s where Mama Partridge decided to build nest number two, amidst the pampas-type grass, so I’ve not been able to weed it for three weeks. (Seriously? Best excuse ever.)
For a sense of perspective at how Ridiculously Tiny it is, how about atop a standard sized brick…
I was creatively inspired….a brooch maybe? Or a key chain if done in thicker wire? Pretty happy with it, for a prototype.
Thanks, little chap.
I thought this weekend’s post would be introducing you to our new addition…but it’s just not felt like right time to see if there’s a bunny out there with my name on him/her. I’m a little worried that the longer I leave it, the less right it will feel, but I’m trusting in kismet. Or trying to.
However, I do have a little chap to show you, courtesy of my newest follower, The Green Dragonfly, and you can follow her excellent tutorial here – https://thegreendragonfly.wordpress.com/2013/03/05/nibble-nibble-hop-hop/
I’m relatively new to crochet but am pretty pleased with my efforts…tho I had to make do with google eyes!
He has a fuzzy butt!
What I am thinking about, is that I could adapt it as a crochet wirework brooch….hmmmm.
What’s everyone else up to?
(Ps – still no baby partridges….but the eggs are moving!!)

Rating agency S&P Global says it is cutting its rating on Eskom to ‘CCC+’ and ‘zaB’ from ‘B-‘ and ‘aBB-‘.
It’s cited that Eskom remains at risk of a distressed exchange situation or default in the next six months.
S&P also believes that there’s a lower likelihood that Eskom would receive extraordinary support from government.
It says government’s support for the utility over the past few months has been insufficient given that the utility’s liquidity concerns persist.

Hillary Clinton’s emails were in the spotlight again on Thursday, as the State Department confirmed to the Associated Press that she had failed to turn over a 2010 email where she discussed her personal account with her aide, Huma Abedin. The omission raises questions about what other emails were potentially missed.
From the AP:
The email was included within messages exchanged Nov. 13, 2010, between Clinton and one of her closest aides, Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin. At the time, emails sent from Clinton’s BlackBerry device and routed through her private clintonemail.com server in the basement of her New York home were being blocked by the State Department’s spam filter. A suggested remedy was for Clinton to obtain a state.gov email account. “Let’s get separate address or device but I don’t want any risk of the personal being accessible,” Clinton responded to Abedin. Clinton never used a government account that was set up for her, instead continuing to rely on her private server until leaving office.
The email in question was not part of the tens of thousands of emails that were turned over from her private server in response to public records lawsuits. “Abedin, who also used a private account on Clinton’s server, provided a copy from her own inbox after the State Department asked her to return any work-related emails,” the AP reports. “That copy of the email was publicly cited last month in a blistering audit by the State Department’s inspector general that concluded Clinton and her team ignored clear internal guidance that her email setup violated federal standards and could have left sensitive material vulnerable to hackers.”
“Secretary Clinton had some emails with Huma that Huma did not have, and Huma had some emails with Secretary Clinton that Secretary Clinton did not have,” Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said.


Thanks Alicia Green for interviewing me and Chad Dennis for taking the photo’s
I know the magazine used a less shocking photo but I feel it’s time to show the damage that was done. One decision lead to so many scars . They tell a story. A story I hope encourages others to keep fighting through this thing called life.

As I have mentioned probably more times than is healthy, I love the movie Bring It On, and one of the things I love about it is the way that it takes an institution and group of people that are traditionally derided and takes them seriously, shows their value and gives a rich portrait of them as human beings (I'm talking, in this case, about cheerleaders). It's part of why I love Friday Night Lights and Huge and why I wish I could love Glee. And it's definitely a big part of why I kind of loved the pilot for the new CW cheerleading drama Hellcats.
Now, don't get me wrong: Hellcats is no Friday Night Lights or Huge. It's no Bring It On, either, even though it often plays like Bring It On: The College Years, and heavily references the movie in one scene. It doesn't, at least at this point, have the same level of character complexity or subtlety, and its main stars (Disney-bred actresses Aly Michalka and Ashley Tisdale) are not particularly known for their acting range. But what it does do is treat cheerleading like a real, serious thing, an activity every bit as legitimate as any other collegiate pursuit that could theoretically be the subject of a TV drama. And like Bring It On, it has a sense of humor that doesn't come at the expense of its self-respect, even when it's gently mocking its own characters or storytelling conventions.
Michalka and Tisdale aren't amazing actresses, but they're extremely likable, as is the rest of the cast (Gail O'Grady, as Michalka's character's mom, is always a welcome TV presence). The cliched set-up of the bad girl forced to join the cheerleading squad is already shaken up in the first episode by her befriending the perky head cheerleader (again, shades of Bring It On), and there are plenty of ways for the show to go in more unexpected directions as it moves forward. I've only seen the original pilot presentation, which isn't quite a full episode, and certainly subsequent episodes could turn out to be nothing but collections of cheesy cliches. For now, though, in a season full of dismal, boring new shows (and I've watched them all), this is one of my favorite new shows of the fall, and one of the top two most entertaining.
Premieres tonight at 9 p.m. on The CW.

Everyone who has visited our Panhandle beaches is likely familiar with the medium-sized, pale white crab called a ghost crab; often seen scurrying over the sand and into a burrow for cover. The species is perfectly named, as you generally will not see the animal until it moves. For this month it seemed appropriate to highlight some of our ocean creatures with names befitting the traditional “spooky” images that occupy our minds near the end of October. Believe me, the ghost crab is one of the least spooky of the lot. We can only hope the costume-designers do not move in this direction.
Zombie worms…a group of polychaete (many bristly appendages) worms that survive by boring into bones that settle on the ocean floor. Whalebones, in particular, contain lipids that sustain the worms, but not without the help of symbiotic bacteria that break down the proteins to release nutrients the worms can use.
When scientists studying these creatures realized that only females were colonizing the bones, they had to look deeper to understand how they were able to reproduce. Deeper…as inside the gelatinous tube that surrounds the female’s body. Female worms literally house a “harem” of many hundred microscopic males who fertilize their eggs before they are released.
Vampire squid…a small species of squid (now thought to be more closely related octopuses) that will rarely exceed one-foot in length. This deep-ocean cephalopod may appear quite cute at first glance, but it has a hidden secret inside the webbing of skin that connects its eight arms. It has the traditional suckers out near the ends of its arms but the inner portions of the arms are covered with fleshy spines that appear quite menacing. When agitated, it can turn itself inside out, so to speak, with the spiny mantle covering the body for protection. They can also expel a sticky cloud of bioluminescent mucus to confuse predators, rather than the inky substance of their close relatives. Given its appearance, the vampire squid seems aptly named. However, this fierce-looking creature is a “sheep in wolf’s clothing,” since it does not feed on blood at all and actually collects detritus (dead organic material) to sustain itself.
Skeleton shrimp…okay, at one-half to two inches in length, not scary at all; right? Unless, you happen to be a male skeleton shrimp of the species where females kill their partners after mating by injecting them with venom from a specially adapted claw. Skeleton shrimp belong to a group of amphipods that consist of around 80 genera and many more species. Named for their linear, angular appearance, they typically exist by clinging to seagrasses, bushy bryozoans and other substrates, with grasping appendages. Some are filter feeders but others lay in wait for tiny prey such as smaller amphipods and protozoans. Similar to our local blue crab, these smaller cousins can only mate after the female molts and is in the “soft-shell” stage. Hey, I bet a skeleton shrimp would be a lot scarier if they grew to the size of those inflatable tube-men you see at the used-car lots.
There are many more ocean creatures than the ones featured above, with scary-sounding names. If you really want to ramp up the “scare-factor” for the season, spend some time researching this list for fun: goblin shark, ghost anemone, fangtooth fish, dragonfish, coffin fish, bat fish, viperfish, and hagfish. It is guaranteed to make you tremble with amazement at the incredible diversity of adaptations for survival that have inspired their fearful names.

Yet another amazing pop festival, this one was staged in Birmingham city centre. The two day event was headlined by Jessie J and the american heart throb NE-YO.
I was contracted by event organisers to capture the entire event and boy was it a busy one.
Here are just a few images from an amazing weekend.
What a line up we had at this years Chester Rocks festival which took place in the grounds of Chester Racecourse. It was great to be working for the organisers for this event as their official photographer.
The two day event was a sell out and you can see why with the acts performing.
Check out the review in pictures.

Imagine a trash can that matches the size of your ordinary bin, yet it scoffs at weeks' worth of discarded food before even considering fullness. You're off the hook, as there's no need for manual labour; it seamlessly grinds, dries, and transforms everything overnight.
The Mill Kitchen Bin introduces a concept that combines technology, design, and environmental consciousness. This Wi-Fi-connected trash is equipped with sensors and a robust food grinder. While effectively transforming household food waste into "food grounds" that can be repurposed, it's a step beyond conventional composting. Instead of composting for gardens, Mill aims to have users send their food grounds back for conversion into chicken feed. The CEO, Matt Rogers, emphasizes the value of retaining food as food, recognizing the significant issue of food waste contributing to landfills and greenhouse gas emissions.
Mill is an innovative solution, offering an alternative to traditional composting, especially for those with limited space or resources.
The Mill bin offers practicality with its user-friendly design. It functions much like a standard kitchen bin, with the added benefit of simplicity in handling food scraps. The system's efficiency lies in its process, where food is ground, dried, and converted into chicken feed. The company is navigating regulatory processes to ensure the safety and quality of the feed. The device also demonstrates connectivity, with features like smartphone app notifications, personalized settings, and automatic updates. However, some operational glitches, like jams, have been encountered, highlighting the need for further refinement.
Mill's approach raises questions about the broader waste management system. While the product addresses individual households' food waste, it underscores the need for comprehensive municipal strategies. Currently, only a small percentage of cities have effective food waste recycling programs, making local solutions essential. Mill's innovative efforts align with the push for more sustainable practices, though the broader impact ultimately depends on systemic changes and widespread adoption.
There are ways to become better recyclers. In an era where takeout and meal delivery has become the norm, it's crucial to understand the recycling nuances of the containers that accompany your gastronomic indulgence.

I'm probably repeating myself but I just love the big "hello" from the Hello Stamp Set available for free during Sale-A-Bration. The only possible bad thing is that this is a limited time set, so it will be gone on February 15th. You don't want to miss this one!
