Homesteads for Hope
Homesteads for Hope (H4H) is a 501(c)3 non-profit Community Farm creating effortless inclusion with a distinctive place to learn, work, live and grow for people of all abilities in the Greater Rochester region.
Homesteads for Hope was founded in May of 2013 by a mother and daughter team, Luann and Jennyrae, who are raising a transitioning young adult, Chucky, with autism.
H4H offers a unique Community Farm experience that promotes skills-training, socialization, self-awareness and career exploration on an organically practiced farm; offering effortless inclusion with its many collaborative partnerships within the greater community. As the demand for self-directed and inclusive community services continues to rise, particularly for young adults, Homesteads for Hope will provide high quality services to people of all abilities.
A Place Where We All Belong
Homesteads for Hope has come a long way in less than three years and is building momentum every day. The organization has successfully operated two seasonal farm vocational pilot programs since 2014, as well as, hosted community outreach events and fundraisers. Homesteads for Hope was selected as a second place winner of $10,000 in Ty Pennington's "Ultimate Neighborhood Give Back Challenge" sponsored by Guaranteed Rate Give Back Challenge in 2014. In August of 2016, with support from support of the Disability Opportunity Fund, H4H purchased the a one-of-a kind 55-acre historic farm located on the Erie Canal in Ogden, NY. The entire community stepped up and the team hit the ground running with the launch of Phase I: The Forever Homestead. The current focus is on the renovation to the barns, the estate home and the development of community classes set to launch officially in Spring of 2017.
Our mission at Homesteads for Hope is to develop sustainable lifestyles, environments, and futures by creating an inclusive community to serve all individuals without distinction.
The person-centered lifestyle will be sustained by the individual with additional supports within the natural community to create measurable outcomes.
The person-centered environment will educate the individual to become as self-sufficient as possible and a meaningful part of their community.
The person-centered future will ensure self-direction, quality of life, purpose, and a forever homestead that always offers an open door.
Our vision at Homesteads for Hope is to develop a replicable, intentional agricultural-style community that offers effortless inclusion with a distinctive place to learn, work, live and grow.
Phase I Development
The Forever Homestead is the renovation of historic barns and estate home to create a sustainable center for community classes, vocational training and respite services.
Phase II Development
The Farm Expansion will serve more people by creating additional programs & services through the development of a public venue, with the creation of micro enterprises including a general store, cafe and marina.
Phase III Development
The Homesteads Village is the development of a 30-acre residential housing community offering a continuum of options to accommodate people of all abilities.

I jumped up and down to see this shelf. Not the furniture but the stuffs on the shelf. Love them all.
How to Paint a File Cabinet
Doodle Craft...: More FREE printable patterns!
This is a great use for those cabinet doors I picked up for free at a local cabinet shop. Since I don't have human children and my 4-legged kids don't draw, I'm thinking I could make a couple of these to put above my desk and hold mail or work that needs attention. Maybe put greeting cards on one to make me feel good.
Artwork Display for Children using Cabinet Doors
Large work table - two hollow core doors ($25 ea.), 4 Walmart book cases ($16 ea.) Very smart! Someday
plasticizing paper with silicon caulking to make an oilcloth-like fabric...can sew it, etc.
Excellent folding craft table. When it's folded up, it looks like framed art. Fabulous idea, and an easy DIY project.
Office/Den/Spare room. I'm going to have to have a sofabed in my office (drat!) so this is likely how I'll have to lay things out. I only have one large window though, so I can have more storage opportunity along the one wall. I love the flip up cabinet that houses the sewing machine - that's genius!
Ok, that's pretty clever
wrap zone: wall of 4x8 ft sheet of pegboard above counter. picture wire wound around pair of screws drilled through pegboard into wall holds ribbon. elastic band designed for pegboards holds roll of wrapping paper. leaving door off 1 cabinet = pullout work surface with sliding baskets.. for my dream craft room...
Well aren't you little miss satisfied with your cool craft room. Whatever, lady.
Ultimate Hobby Room With the addition of three base cabinets and an island from a home center, tons of storage was added. At a few hundred dollars each, the cabinets offer generous storage and sturdy work surfaces. They don't have to be bolted to the wall, so they can be used elsewhere in the future. To make the most of the space it's divided into three sections: the wrap zone, scrap zone, and sew zone.

If you are solitary and looking to get a partner, then you might want to consider seeing a Latino. While it is valid that you may match a few Latina women in bars or perhaps clubs, you can mexico beautiful women also meet a lot of different women online. Now, I am not really saying that you have to be shy regarding dating a Latina, since not every Latina woman will be shy regarding being needed for a man of their own culture. In fact , many Latin girls even speak English fluently, so you can actually date one or two of them. Just be sure you know how approach them, understand their way of life, and if feasible, go to Latin dances mutually to enjoy evening.
There are several strategies to approach dating a Latina. For starters, you need to realize that many women in Latin civilizations are more conservative than most American women. For example , some women of all ages will wear very revealing outfits and some females will even slice their encounters. Of course , this is not to say that they are not amazing or there is something wrong with wearing apparel that are revealing. It is simply to say that these women prefer dealing with more conservative males than American women are more comfortable with. In other words, you must approach the relationship with caution if you wish to date a Latin woman. Also, as you meet a Latina you’ll likely need a bit more than just the charm and good looks to get her to adore you.
If you date a Latina it is vital that you handle her the same way that you would like to be medicated. Do not respond too speedy with her. Take the time to become familiar with her and pay attention to slightly about her family, work life, and interests. You will be able try out a little bit of what this lady likes and what the girl does not. Then, it’s time to actually night out her. Ensure you know how to speak with her and what your intentions are just for the relationship. If completely very open minded, then you can find out more about the other person than you may if you were going out with a light girl.


Permitless carry measures have already been signed into law in Utah and Montana this year, and a number of other states have Constitutional Carry bills progressing through their legislatures. Now lawmakers in Tennessee are taking up the issue, and given the fact that Constitutional Carry has the backing of Gov. Bill Lee, prospects for passage look pretty good.
SB 0765 and it’s companion, HB 0786, would create an exemption in state law for the offense of unlawful carrying of a firearm, as long as the gun owner has a legal right to own the firearm, meets the qualifications for an enhanced carry license, and is in a place where they have a right to be.
For some Second Amendment activists, like John Harris of the Tennessee Firearms Association, the legislation doesn’t go far enough.
Harris doesn’t believe SB0765, the bill endorsed by Lee and filed by Senator Jack Johnson, is a true Constitutional Carry bill. He, along with other gun advocates in his group are more keen on other bills also filed during the legislative session.
“It doesn’t fully make Tennessee a Constitutional carry state or a permit-less carry state, but it’s an improvement over where we are now, slightly,” Harris explained.
It’s true that the language of the bills backed by the governor still require those carrying without a license to be eligible for an enhanced carry license, and I have to admit I’m a little confused about how that would work in practice. The legislation makes it clear, for instance, that you don’t have to actually apply for your enhanced license in order lawfully carry, but is silent as to whether or not you’d have to take the required eight-hour training course in order for the state to recognize your eligibility.
It seems like that would be an impossible standard to enforce, unless gun owners are supposed to carry around their training certificate instead of a carry license. Hopefully we’ll get some clarity on what “eligibility” actually means in the legislation as it progresses through the statehouse.
Harris says that, even with his concerns over the language of the bill, it’s still a step in the right direction and he dismisses the idea that it will lead to more violent crime.
He said the states that have already adopted a similar law, that doesn’t require gun owners to have a permit, haven’t repealed or placed more restrictions.
He said he “doesn’t buy” the argument that passing the bill into law wouldn’t make crime more rampant and people more violent.
“They just argue from this emotional perspective of, well, we feel like that’s the right thing to do,” Harris said. “The people that are going to carry illegally or with criminal content, I guarantee you, not a single one of them ever laid the gun down and said, ‘Now, I can’t commit the crime I was going to commit to today because I haven’t got my permit yet. I’ll wait another couple of weeks that that just doesn’t happen.’”
Gun control groups like Moms Demand Action are of course opposed to the bill, though activist Jodi Scheer told WBIR-TV that the organization “is not against the Second Amendment.”
Yeah, right. It’s funny how the supposed Second Amendment supporters at Moms Demand Action have never run across a gun control bill that they believe violates the right to keep and bear arms. You’d think if they weren’t against the Second Amendment they would have found at least one gun control bill over the years that they’d object to, but that hasn’t happened.
At the very least, the carry bills backed by Gov. Lee offer legal gun owners the opportunity to lawfully carry without obtaining a government-issued permission slip, and while I would like to see more clarity around the issue of eligibility, that’s not an insurmountable problem. In fact that can be easily addressed in the legislative process. The bigger issue at the moment is ensuring the passage of some form of permitless or Constitutional Carry, and I hope Tennessee gun owners are keeping in contact with their legislators and encouraging them to strengthen the Second Amendment rights of residents.

Earlier this month we asked award-winning children's author Katherine Rundell some questions about her exciting new novel The Wolf Wilder, and also about the processes she goes through as a writer.
Can you tell us a bit about The Wolf Wilder...?
It's about a girl who lives with her mother in just (italics) pre-revolutionary Russia with a gang of wolves in the wilderness. And then something happens. Her mother's kidnapped, and she rides a wolf across the snow to reclaim her mother, and to start a revolution. On the way, she gathers a lost soldier who loves ballet and a little child who... then they start a revolution
...And then about what a 'wolf wilder' actually is?!
So, a wolf wilder is not a real thing! But it's based on a real thing, which involves lions. I grew up in Zimbabwe, and there's a place in Zimbabwe where people who have taken lion cubs to be pets discover that they're not very good pets after a few years - they maybe accidentally eat something that technically belongs to someone else, like a foot(!) - and they're taken and taught to be wild again. To hunt and to mistrust humans. And that is a real thing: it's about trying to give back to animals what we've taken from them. I wanted The Wolf Wilder to be based on that, just a snowier and darker version.
Talk us through the joys (and difficulties) of creating the world through which Feodora dances...
I've been to Russia when the snow has been as high as your thigh. It's a really visceral experience, but I did find it interesting that it's quite hard to really capture what it's like to be really, really cold.
I was writing a lot of this book when I was in Zimbabwe in the very hot sun, visiting my mother, so I got some cocktail ice and wrote with my feet resting on it because having cold feet is a really distinct feeling that you can't really recreate unless you're actually experiencing it. You know that feeling when you think your little toe might drop off? That's what I was trying to get back to.
Talk to us a bit about your writing habits. Do you write early in the morning, or through the night? Pen or laptop?
I've always had another job whilst writing, so to write I have to carve out space. I used to wake up very early - about 5am - and I would write in bed with coffee and a laptop, and then late at night again. All I need really though - whether in cafes of libraries - is a laptop and huge amounts of caffeine, and that's it.
Music helps. I've got into a habit... there's an app on my phone that plays cafe noise - that really helps!
What inspires you to write?
I can't remember not wanting to be a writer. As soon as I knew that writing was a thing and books were built and not born, rush-made, I wanted to write. Wanting to write for kids was a little bit later. I think children are readers unlike any other kind, in that they carry the books very close to their hearts. I think the books you read - especially when you're sort of 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 - they get under your skin. And there's this really fascinating thing that when you meet kids, they say how much they've loved your book, which is always lovely, and they describe it in detail, and then they describe all these things which never happened. Kids who come up to me and say 'My favourite bit is when they waltz on rooftops' in Rooftoppers, and well, I think, That doesn't happen! I think it's a really fascinating phenomenon that when you go back and read books that you read as a kid, they're much shorter and sparser because you have added so much. I think for kids, you build them a house and they make it a castle. Kids make the books bigger. They do half the work. It's pretty remarkable.
More about Katherine Rundell:
Katherine Rundell spent her childhood in Africa and Europe and is now a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. She is also the bestselling author of Rooftoppers, a story inspired by summers working in Paris and by night-time trespassing on the rooftops of All Souls. Rooftoppers won the Waterstones Children's Book Prize and the Blue Peter Award in 2014 and was shortlisted for many others. The Wolf Wilder is the first of three new novels with Bloomsbury.

Technicolour by Montaigne
Montaigne is my Countdown’s first of many returning artists whose 2020 Eurovision dreams were brought to a juddering halt by Coronavirus. As a principle I’ve felt all year it was fair to let people have another go, although it’s made for a sparse national finals season. Now that we have their 2021 songs, I’m rather reconsidering my position. Whilst fair, expecting someone who believes they found the perfect song for them last year to go off and come up with something equally as good or better is one heck of a tall order.
It would be tedious to judge every artist against their previous efforts, but unfortunately for Montaigne she’s the first under my critical microscope, and the contrast is just so stark. I wasn’t much struck on her choice of outfit for Don’t Break Me, but as a composition I loved it musically and lyrically. Technicolour, to its credit, doesn’t just offer an extension of 2020’s cancelled entry (unlike some artists later in the list); it’s quite the change in style.
I hear Rina Sawayama right through this, a hyperpop style which I love, so I should like this more than I do. I certainly applaud Montaigne’s decision to not play it safe but based on this she doesn’t pull it off. By the time she gets this to Eurovision, this could have a great, fun stage show and I hope it does. It needs it. This preview performance from Sydney Mardi Gras feels strained and lifeless in the middle of a vast stadium with smoke being blown in all the wrong directions and (as sung live) some wobbly moments. Montaigne seems too interesting an artist to be remembered as Australia’s first non-qualifier, but without some serious work she might be.
My marks: 6 points
Will it qualify? Not at the moment

Kayaking With Dolphins
Our campsite sits right on the Indian River, a brackish waterway that connects with the Atlantic Ocean through the Ponce Inlet in New Smyrna Beach, FL. The Indian River is the most diverse estuary is North America, with more than 2,100 species of plants and 2,200 animals. The lush waterway is home to several pods of bottlenose dolphins too! We've enjoyed watching them from our "backyard" and decided to get out on the water to explore with them. We can rent kayaks and launch right out from our campsite. There are miles and miles of channels through mangrove forests to explore and little islands with beaches awaiting discovery.
Dolphins swim around boats and people without hesitation, and we spotted several different groups. We were able to sneak pretty close to one dolphin that was hanging out near a boat of fishermen. They were throwing the dolphin their unwanted catch, and it would happily retrieve the fish as it swam around our kayaks. For the locals here the dolphins are a common fixture, but to us they seem to never lose their luster. We were in total awe getting to spend so much time up close with them in their natural environment. Be sure to check out the video to see how close we got!

Subject: I have found a CD that I think you would enjoy
Concerto in D for Violin & Orchestra
Genres: Special Interest, Classical
Listen to Samples
Sean Patterson | Westerville, Ohio United States | 08/18/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Itzhak Perlman gives what my wife calls a very dramatic performance of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto from 1967 with Alfred Wallenstein conducting the London Symphony Orchestra. If you like pathos and drama (as I do) then this is the recording for you. My wife prefers Jascha Heifetz's rendition on: Brahms, Tchikovsky: Violin Concertos to Perlman's rendition, however I feel that it is too stately and that this piece needs to be played with a "heart on your sleeve" approach.
The fillers are equally wonderful, full of the same drama that is in the Concerto recording even though they are by different conductors and orchestras.
The sound that the Chesky label provides is, as always, outstanding. The difference between the gold disc and a regular disc is noticeable, but not dramatic(!).
Highly recommend for those who love the Romantic era and a strong sense of drama."

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- A Christian advocacy group says it expects the U.S. Supreme Court will have more chances to rule on the issue of gay rights versus religious freedom after the court rejected an appeal from an Albuquerque studio that refused to photograph a lesbian couple's commitment ceremony.
The justices left in place a unanimous state Supreme Court ruling last year that said Elane Photography violated New Mexico's Human Rights Act by refusing to photograph the same-sex ceremony.
Arizona-based Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Council Jordan Lorence said they hoped the Supreme Court would use the case to affirm the freedom of speech without fear of punishment.
The group said it is also defending cases like those of a Washington state florist and a Colorado cake artist who refused to do work for same-sex couples and a Kentucky T-shirt printer who declined to make shirts promoting a gay pride festival.

Preemptive use of intravenous ibuprofen to reduce postoperative pain after lower third molar surgery: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials
MetadataShow full item record
This study aimed to systematically review the literature to assess the effect of preemptive intravenous ibuprofen on pain reduction after lower third molar surgery. Nine databases (PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, SciELO, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, Open Gray, and Open Thesis) were used as sources of research, including “grey literature.” The protocol was registered in PROSPERO. Only randomized clinical trials evaluating the effects of preemptive intravenous ibuprofen on pain during and immediately after the extraction of lower third molars were included, without restrictions of year and language. Two reviewers independently performed the study selection, data extraction, and assessment of the risk of bias. The “Joanna Briggs Institute for Randomized Controlled Trials” tool was used to assess the risk of bias. Each study was categorized according to the percentage of positive responses to the questions corresponding to the assessment instrument. The results were measured narratively/descriptively. The initial search resulted in 3,257 records, of which only three studies (n=150 participants) met the eligibility criteria and were included in the qualitative analysis. All studies were published in 2019. The risk of bias ranged from low to moderate. Two studies found significant pain reduction within 48 h after the procedure. In conclusion, the use of preemptive intravenous ibuprofen for extracting third molars reduces pain and analgesic consumption after the surgical procedure.

Apple iMessage is down (update)
Apple's proprietary messaging service iMessage seems to be having some problems right now. Users in North America and Europe have been reporting that the service isn't working, but oddly iMessage only seems to be down for iOS users. At first, it looked like Mac users are not experiencing the same problems, but it turns out that the problem affects all Apple products.
It seems that when users try to send a message via iMessage the system will hang, then either fail, or send the message via SMS if possible. No word on why this is happening, but it definitely looks like an issue on Apple's side, so nothing users can do will fix the issue.
We'll keep watching and let you know when things get sorted out.
**Update** At around 6:15PM EST the iMessage service was restored, and appears to be working on all platforms. Still no word on what caused the outage.

Earlier this week, SportsBusiness Journal announced that U.K.-based James Grant Group was acquired by Metric Capital Partners, an international investment firm. James Grant will retain 50 percent ownership of the agency, which represents clients across sports, entertainment, music, television and literary.
“I think it’s a unique opportunity for any group to break into the U.S. market, specifically in the soccer space, at this point,” said Lyle Yorks, Global Managing Director for James Grant Sports. “The World Cup really showed the potential and continued growth in the sport. We’re really excited about what the future holds for the group.”
James Grant Sports represents a number of international and domestic soccer players, including the Seattle Sounders Clint Dempsey and Sunderland’s Jozy Altidore, both members of the U.S. Men’s National Team.
Yorks added that the next “logical” move for the sports business is to set up an office in Los Angeles in 2015, with the possibility of an office in New York as well. The certified FIFA sports agent said that the sports agency will aim to continue to grow its soccer business domestically in Q1.

It's a job that has to be done no matter the hour. Shift workers fill positions so that others can rest easy. They are the law enforcement, medical personal, and even factory workers that perform their work during almost any time period. Shift work can be difficult on personal relationships, parenting, and other areas of life but this way of working all hours may also have a negative effect on the health of those workers.

Ball Gown Wedding Dresses
We have a special wedding dress presentation for you today provided by Ravit. This fashion house creates inimitable designs for the sophisticated bride who wants something prestigious, luxurious and sexy for her wedding. The models we’ve selected for this post are among the most attractive from this collection.
But if you want to see the rest of it, visit the official website of Ravit Designs. This designer’s style is based in Israel and it was developed among other talented couturiers in her family. Ravit managed to pursuit her own vision and this is how she ended up creating exclusivist dresses for the bold contemporary bride.
We like the way she combines the classic, the luxury, the romantic and the sexy styles in a single dress. The profiles are sensual and feminine, the cuts are bold and the shapes very provocative. Nevertheless, the silhouettes are still based on a traditional tailoring that can provide a woman with a very authentic bridal sense of elegance and fashion in the same time.
The surprising elements of design used by Ravit are the Swarovski crystal appliqués she uses in abundance. The myriad of sparkling stones inserted in these gowns make the bride feel and look special, expensive and radiant. We enjoy this way of decorating a wedding dress and the glamorous embroidery. The Israeli style is pompous and exuberant in most cases and this is why these gowns are so extravagant and sumptuous.
The skirts are inspired by the big ball gown cut, while the bodices are tight and perfectly molded on the body. The necklines are deep and seriously sexy. The offbeat bride who wants something this dramatic and provocative can obtain a sensational look for her wedding in one of these gowns.
The sweetheart style is the one that predominates in this collection. This type of cut is specific to ball gown wedding dresses and romantic traditional looks. The sheer bodices accented with multiple beads and crystals look sensational. The thing that stirs our interest though is the fresh and young feel of this collection. These brides don’t look old, conventional or standard. The contrary, they are elegantly distinctive.
The accents and details used for this line are innovative and elevated. Anyway, the high-grand accessories are the elements that make these silhouettes look so spectacular in the end. Wearing a wedding dress adorned with expensive stones can surely make a woman feel precious and one of a kind. There is a lot of labor invested in creating one of these dresses. The process can take months to be complete. The material is delicately selected and there is a lot of energy allocated to each stitch in part. The detailed look is specific to an Israeli-inspired bride.


Francois Painchaud, resident representative of International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Georgia noted that the new regulations in the financial sector aim to reduce excessive indebtedness starting January 1, 2019.
Francois Painchaud released the statement to answer the question by InterPressNews agency regarding competition level in the Georgian banking sector and the new regulations that are to come into force on January 1, 2019.
“Your question refers to the responsible crediting. We believe that these regulations have appropriate objective. Its objective is to reduce excessive indebtedness for low-income citizens. Naturally, these regulations imply slower growth in crediting, despite this process will bring temporary negative effect on domestic demand growth. In whole, we believe that this is a necessary policy”, Francois Painchaud noted.

Prevention Education Effects on Fundamental Memory Processes
Community and Global Health (CGU)
Community Health | Community Health and Preventive Medicine | Medicine and Health Sciences | Mental and Social Health | Public Health | Public Health Education and Promotion
This study evaluated effects of a key session from a nationally recognized drug abuse prevention program on basic memory processes in 211 high-risk youth in Southern California. In a randomized, between-subject design, the authors manipulated assignment to a Myth and Denial program session and the time of assessment (immediate vs. 1-week delay). The authors examined program decay effects on memory accessibility and judgment errors. Those participants exposed to the program session generated more myths and facts from the program than those in the control group, suggesting that even a single program session influenced students’ memory for program information and this was retained at least 1 week and detectable with indirect tests of memory accessibility. However, consistent with basic research perspectives, participants in the program-delayed assessment group erroneously generated more fact-related information from the session to the prompt “It is a myth that_____” than the participants in the program immediate assessment group; that is, they retained more facts as myths. These types of program effects, anticipated by basic memory theory, were not detected with a traditional judgment task in the present sample. The results suggest that basic science approaches offer a novel way of conceptually recasting prevention effects to more completely understand how these effects may operate. Implications for program evaluation and conceptualization are discussed.

A Guide to Finding a Publisher for Poetry
Finding a publisher for poetry can be a challenging process, but with the right approach and information, poets can increase their chances of success. Here is a guide to finding a publisher for poetry:
Research different publishers: Look for publishers that specialize in poetry or have a strong track record of publishing poetry. Many publishers have websites that list the types of books they publish and their submission guidelines.
Review their submission guidelines: Each publisher will have different submission guidelines. Make sure to carefully read and follow them. This will increase your chances of your work being accepted.
Identify your target audience: Knowing your target audience will help you to find publishers that are the best fit for your work. For example, if your poetry is focused on a specific culture or group of people, you should look for publishers that specialize in that area.
Build your reputation: Building a reputation as a poet can increase your chances of finding a publisher. This can be achieved by publishing your poetry in literary magazines, participating in poetry contests, and giving readings.
Network with other poets: Building relationships with other poets can help you to learn more about the publishing industry and to find publishers that may be interested in your work.
Use social media: Social media can be a great tool for poets to connect with publishers, agents and other poets. Social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram can be used to promote your poetry, and to connect with other poets and publishing professionals.
Self-publishing: If you are unable to find a publisher, self-publishing can be an option. With the rise of digital publishing platforms such as Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing and Createspace, it's easier than ever for poets to self-publish their work.
Agent representation: Finding a literary agent that specializes in poetry can be very beneficial in finding a publisher. Agents can help you to get your poetry in front of publishers and can also help to negotiate contracts and advance payment.
Look for contests and opportunities: Poetry contests and other opportunities such as residencies, fellowships, and grants can help to increase your visibility and to build your reputation as a poet. Many of these opportunities come with publication opportunities.
In conclusion, finding a publisher for poetry can be a challenging process, but with research, persistence, and the right approach, poets can increase their chances of success. It's important to be familiar with the poetry publishing industry, and to be aware of the different opportunities available. Building a reputation and a network of contacts, and using social media can also be beneficial. Self-publishing and agent representation can also be options to consider if you are unable to find a publisher.

My daughter wanted to do something different this year so I came up with the idea to do an Easter Basket. It then led to her being in the basket and if she is in the basket she might as well be the Easter Bunny!
So to make this Homemade Easter Bunny Basket Costume we cut a hole in a laundry basket that would allow her to pull it up to her waste and stay there without having to support it. We then added a foam pipe insulator and painted everything a Springy green. We wove pastel color ribbons through the holes in the basket and backed everything with green felt. We then built a lightweight shelf of foam core board wrapped in felt to hold all of the Easter candies.
We carved some bunny “Peeps” from BalsaFoam. We then tin-foiled a bunny stuffed animal, added balloon jelly beans and some fabric eggs and green tinsel grass. We also stuffed tube socks and sewed in some toes and attached them to her skirt. Hilarious foot movement as she walked. Just added the bunny ears, bowtie and a little make-up nose and buck teeth. It was the hit of the neighborhood.

text: Negeri Sembilan starts just 50 km south of Kuala Lumpur. Negeri Sembilan, which literally means nine states, has many villages with patches of urban development. But that is slowly changing. Negeri Sembilan is well-known for its strong Minangkabau influences, which are still evident in its unique architecture and matrilineal society. The Minangkabau people migrated across the Straits of Melaka from Sumatra centuries ago and their traditional houses are distinguished by sweeping roof peaks shaped like buffalo horns. Some examples of these influences can be seen in the State Mosque and the State Secretariat Building. The Minangkabau people of Negeri Sembilan still practise the matrilineal social system known as the "adat perpatih", where the women are the head of the household, making the state the only one to adhere to such social norms. The capital of Negeri Sembilan is Seremban. The royal capital is Seri Menanti in the district of Kuala Pilah. Other important towns are Port Dickson and Nilai.

Many people around the planet suffer from depression and other mental health problems. In the United States, it has been estimated that around 16 million people suffered from at least one depressive episode in 2012. Almost 350 million people suffer from the illness around the globe.That is nearly 7% of the population. Experts say that at least 50% of people who suffer from depression never seek out any kind of treatment. This is unfortunate because therapy services can be very beneficial for those who receive it.
If you are considering seeing a therapist for individual counseling or couples counseling here are some tips to make sure you have a good experience.
- Talk to your friends, family and primary care doctor. Many people remain uncomfortable talking about any problems they may have had that could lead them to seek out therapy services. This may mean that you know a lot of people who have but they never talked about it. Getting personal referrals is a great way to find a good therapist. You can also get great reommendations from your primary care or family doctor. They may have different people they recommend for different kinds of therapy so make sure you ask about the kind you think you want. Check Yelp, Facebook and the provider\’s website for testimonials and reviews. Remember that people are much more likely to leave a complaint than a compliment so weigh any reviews you find accordingly. This is especially true if you see anonymously posted comments.
- Consult your insurance carrier. Different plans cover therapy services at different levels. Some require you to get precertification before you seek out the help of a counselor or therapist. They can also give you a list of providers who are in their network and give a decent amount of information about the different providers they work with.
- Talk to a few therapists. You need to be able to share very private details of your life with your therapist. If you do not feel like one therapist is the one with whom you can do this, you should seek out another. There are a lot of them out there so do not think you have to see the first one that you find or is recommended to you. Talk to a few and feel out their communcations style. Ask about what experience they have working with patients like you and how much they have done with other people who have similar problems. That can help you find the therapist who is the best for you and your situation.
- Remember, there is a big difference between individual and couples therapy.Couples therapy services can be very effective at helping them communicate better and work though any problems they are facing but this kind of therapy is very different from individual therapy. Do not go into this kind of therapy expecting it to be similar to what you may have experienced when you when to a therapist for yourself. If you had a great or a terrible experience in the past, try to not let that influence your new couples therapy expert. Almost 97% of couples who get this kind of therapy say it did for them what they needed it to do.
Seeking out therapy services for depression, post traumatic stress disorder or any other mental health issue can often be a hard thing to do. Seeking therapy services with a significant other can also be a challenge. Therapy for all of these problems has been shown to do a lot to help people though tough times or who are ill. If you take your time and do your research into your therapy options, you will be much more likely to have a positive experience and a good outcome from the therapy you receive.
There is often a misperception that people who receive therapy services do so for their entire lives. Most people worth with a therapist for a finate amount of time that is roughly between 10 and 20 weeks. People who try medication are normally treated that way for six weeks before it takes effect.

HM The Queen - Funeral Bank Holiday - Monday 19th September
Following the recent announcement of a bank holiday for the state funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II, ...


Apparently, the American political establishment isn't just afraid of new ideas, it's afraid of new people. It wants things so much the same, it's seeking blood guarantees, like the old Euro aristocracies that sealed military alliances with marriages. It's pathetic, and if Bush-Clinton turns out to be the general election menu, it's going to make kleptocratic paradises like the Soviet Union or the PRC look like vibrant democracies in comparison.
And man, could anything be less exciting, less of an inspiration to get the vote out than that lineup? "Vote 2016! Nothing Ever Changes!" People will stay home and hand-remove their own moles before dragging themselves to vote in that contest.
I'll add that we can look forward to the inevitable runs at the presidency by Chelsea Clinton and George P. Bush. Hell, if only we could just get those bright young things to marry and reproduce we could see the beginning of a genuine royal dynasty.
Six in 10 Americans say the CIA’s treatment of suspected terrorists was justified, more than half think it produced important, unique intelligence – and 52 percent say it was wrong for the Senate Intelligence Committee to issue a report suggesting otherwise.
I see where President Obama's BFF, Jamie Dimon, was whipping votes this week for the cromnibus bill. Have I told you lately that I hate JPMorgan Chase and how pleased I am that they no longer have any of my money?
Actually, they still have 50¢, but it's a long story and will wait for another day.
Jared Polis (D) from Boulder is my house rep and it looks like he voted the way Jamie and Barack wanted him to vote. Those big money boys stick together.
UPDATE: Via comments Jared Polis informs me he voted NO, so my apologies for the error. I should have googled it, but I heard on the local news that only Degette and Lamborn voted no.

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Weds. June 23, 2022: She fought for the inclusion of black nurses in World War II to the Army and Navy as the executive secretary of the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses (NAGCN) and continued fighting for the full inclusion of nurses of all races in the U.S. military, which was granted in January 1945.
She was Caribbean immigrant Mabel Keaton Staupers. Keaton was born in Barbados and migrated to the United States at age 13 with her parents and attended the Freedmen’s Hospital School of Nursing in Washington, DC, where she graduated with honors. After graduation, she worked as a private duty nurse.
Staupers faced with racial discrimination after graduating from nursing school, became an advocate for racial equality in the nursing profession. While working as a private nurse in Washington and New York, Staupers helped establish the Booker T. Washington Sanatorium.
It was the first and one of the few in-patient centers founded to care for African Americans who had tuberculosis, at a time when other hospitals refused black medical experts’ privileges or staffing positions.
Staupers served as Superintendent for the Booker T. Washington Sanatorium from 1920 to 1922.
She used her influence and management skills and became executive secretary of the Harlem Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association a position she held for twelve years. In December 1935, Staupers attended a gathering of African American women leaders, organized by Mary McLeod Bethune to establish the National Council of Negro Women.
In 1948, the American Nursing Association followed suit and allowed African American nurses to become members. In 1950, Staupers dissolved the NAGCN because she believed the organization had completed its mission. In 1951, the NAACP honored Staupers with the Spingarn Medal in recognition of her efforts on behalf of black women workers. Staupers died at the age of 99 in 1989.

U.S. President Donald Trump has decided to withdraw from the Paris climate accord, Axios news outlet reported on Wednesday, citing two unidentified sources with direct knowledge of the decision.
Trump who has previously called global warming a hoax, refused to endorse the landmark climate change accord at a summit of the G7 group of wealthy nations on Saturday, saying he needed more time to decide. He then tweeted that he would make an announcement this week.
Fox News also cited an unidentified source confirming the pullout.
The accord, agreed on by nearly 200 countries in Paris in 2015, aims to limit planetary warming in part by slashing carbon dioxide and other emissions from the burning of fossil fuels. Under the pact, the United States committed to reducing its emissions by 26 to 28 percent from 2005 levels by 2025.
Axios said details of the pullout are being worked out by a team…

Australian tennis legend Margaret Court is again in the headlines, saying her sport is ‘full of lesbians’, which comes just days after her controversial boycott of Qantas airlines over CEO Alan Joyce’s involvement in the same-sex marriage debate.
Court, who is now a pastor, told radio show Vision Christian Radio: “Tennis is full of lesbians, because even when I was playing there was only a couple there, but those couple that led, that took young ones into parties and things.”
“And you know, what you get at the top is often what you’ll get right through that sport,” she said.
“We’re there to help them overcome. We’re not against the people.”
Court drew public criticism last week after writing an open letter saying that she would not fly with Qantas Airlines due to its support for same-sex marriage

While people gab endlessly about lesser shows, this sitcom about a tech startup has been quietly scaling ever more majestic heights
I’m going to tell you two things that are unequivocally true. First, Silicon Valley is the best comedy on television at the moment. Second, not nearly enough people are talking about it.
I’ve spent the last couple of months watching the internet froth itself dry over a succession of lesser comedies – your Kimmy Schmidts, your Car Shares, your Masters of None – while Silicon Valley has quietly scaled ever more peerlessly majestic heights. And now I’m here to say stop. Enough is enough. Silicon Valley is astonishing. The fact that you’re not watching it is ridiculous.
If you’re new to it, Silicon Valley is a sitcom about a tech startup called Pied Piper. Its CEO is Richard Hendricks, a prodigiously gifted coder whose desire to always play fair puts him directly in the sights of all the sharks and wolves…

MARNIE Simpson is very body confident in Geordie Shore – as she proved last night. The reality star stripped her top off in the middle of a club in last night’s episode, baring her boob…
In Stripped Bare, Marnie admits she was desperate for the scenes not to air and revealed MTV bosses had cut it from the show as it was “too X-rated”.
She said: “Chloe was laughing about it and saying, ‘Oh, it’s fine man,’ and I was like, ‘It’s not fine. I’ve got a boyfriend.’”

The Zircon cruise missile travels between 3,800mph and 4,600mph – five to six times the speed of sound – and puts Russia ‘half a decade’ ahead of the US’, the report says.
This makes it faster than any anti-missile system, including those that are expected to appear in the next two decades.
All the available information about Zircon is based on rare comments from Russian officials and media leaks, which were not played down by the military and defense experts.
Dmitry Kornev, editor of Militaryrussia.ru, which collected the most complete profile on the Zircon missile, told RBTH that he believes the missiles were already launched from a Yasen-class attack submarine.

Late last month, R&B singer DB2 stepped into the Booth with his soulful reimagining of Unconditionally, a sweeping ballad off Katy Perry's latest full-length. Today, reader faves Smokey Robotic have put their own spin on another cut off Prism—namely, recent single Roar. Rather than turning the bubblegum-pop hit inside out like you might expect, the ever-innovative NYC crew stick relatively close to Perry's original blueprint.

They are homemakers, career and professional women of all ages. They love to sing, and they think the best kind of singing is four-part harmony, their specialty.
They are among the 700 choruses and 33,000 members in the United States, Canada, Sweden and Japan who belong to Harmony International, Inc., known until last year as Sweet Adelines, Inc.
They are the Choral-Aires of Downers Grove, a chapter that just celebrated its 30th anniversary. They have won their regional chorus competition three times, in 1982, 1985 and 1987, and they took 10th place at the International Chorus Competition in 1983.
The Choral-Aires started singing their harmony on June 15, 1960, when 40 women gathered at the YMCA in Naperville. They boast a current membership of 112 voices.
They have had much to sing about during their 30 years together. Special performances include concerts at the Paramount Arts Centre, the Rialto Square Theatre and Arie Crown Theater. They once sang the national anthem at Wrigley Field before 39,000 Cubs fans. But their most exciting performance came last June in New York.
``What a thrill it was to stand on the stage at Carnegie Hall where so many musical greats have performed,`` said Dianne Eifler of Naperville. ``The sound in the hall is so incredible that Karen Breidert (their director) could have lit up the city herself.``
They also perform locally for community festivals, park districts, nursing homes, libraries, for almost anyone who asks. They sing for donations or gratis because they love to perform.
``We`re all a bunch of frustrated Barbra Streisands,`` Janet Kamrad of Woodridge, a 20-year veteran of the organization, once said on a local television show.
The Choral-Aires rehearse each Thursday evening at the First United Presbyterian Church in Downers Grove. They may call it a hobby, but it`s also a lot of hard work, not only at rehearsals but also in between.
When they are not rehearsing or performing, they are working on their travel outfits and competition costumes. From the tops of their wiglets to the toes of their dancing shoes, chorus members must match to perfection. They even wear the same makeup and fingernail polish. Hair styles are uniformly pouffy and off the neck, and false eyelashes are mandatory for all
``We look like such clones of each other that you can`t tell who`s who in our chorus picture,`` said Carol Huml of La Grange.
In their 30 years of making music together, they have had four directors. Mary LaMaster, known as the ``White Tornado`` for her white hair and endless energy, took over when they were in 17th place in their region.
During LaMaster`s 22 years with them, she led them to the three regional victories and 10th place in international competition.
``The Choral-Aires is a unique chorus in that their camaraderie far exceeded any other chorus I ever worked with,`` said LaMaster, who retired as their chorus director two years ago. ``It took me three years and them three years to agree it was time for me to retire. I didn`t want to die on stage or be wheeled out in a wheelchair.``
What the self-taught and perfectly pitched LaMaster brought to the chorus in terms of enthusiasm and showmanship, Breidert of Frankfort brings in technical skill and discipline. She was LaMaster`s choice for the new director, a decision unanimously agreed upon by the chorus.
``Karen (Breidert) is a human dynamo at rehearsals,`` said Kamrad.
All their hard work will be evident at the Choral-Aires` upcoming show
``30 Years of Harmony,`` to be presented at 8:15 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30, at Downers Grove South High School.
``When the curtains open, a small group representing the original chorus will sing `Let`s Sing An Old Time Song Together,` `` said Kamrad who, with Pat Smith of Naperville, wrote and directed the show. ``Mary (LaMaster) will emcee the show and direct her personal favorite, `Sweet Georgia Brown.` She will then hand the baton to Breidert during `There`ll Be Some Changes Made.` ``
The rest of the show will include barbershop standards and arrangements to current songs, such as ``Kokomo`` and ``Somewhere Out There.``
Four quartets will perform at the show: Chicago Fire, which took 11th place at this year`s international competition; Hit Parade; Bright Horizons, a comedy quartet; and Jubilation!, which won the international quartet competition in 1985. Jubilation! members are CarolAnn Bagley of Mundelein, Sharon Alterman of Houston and the Choral-Aires` Breidert and Pat Rotunno of Westchester.
``There`s something more to barbershop harmony than regular four-part harmony,`` explained Rotunno. ``A good barbershop chord requires vocal harmony and internal harmony. It is dependent on unity in the group. In other kinds of harmony the melody is on the top with the harmony below. In barbershop, the melody is on the inside with harmony parts above and below it. So in barbershop you not only have to sing your own part well, you have to be able to blend with the other voices,
``And, you have to have stage presence. Choirs just stand there and sing. It`s beautiful, but it`s not barbershop.``
Friday`s performance will be the last for Jubilation!
``Since Sharon Alterman moved to Houston three years ago, we have found it increasingly difficult to get together,`` said Rotunno. ``We really tried, even sending Sharon tapes of our other three parts so she could practice her tenor part. But we finally realized there`s no point to staying together as a quartet if we can`t perform together regularly.``
Following Jubilation!`s performance, the chorus will perform the show package they plan to take to the next regional competition, which will be held in April in Battle Creek, Mich.
For membership information or to order tickets for ``30 Years of Harmony,`` call Pat Smith at 355-9358.

Tours in Iloilo City have gone high-tech with tourist guide information now available online and accessible with just a click.
Mayor Jed Patrick E. Mabilog said the technology-generated information truly boosts tourism promotions in the metropolis where it is easy and convenient for tourists to know about the pride of the place and things to do during their visit.
The techie guide for must-see-and-try travel experiences are laid out in Discover Iloilo, a digital tourism project provided by telecom giant Smart Communications, Inc. and new media startup InnoPub Media.
Special markers containing quick response (QR) codes were placed in major heritage and tourism sites. When scanned with a phone or tablet, the QR codes trigger the download of related information.
The gadget needs to be connected to the Internet and have a QR code scanner, which can be downloaded for free in the phone’s application market.
The program includes a mobile guide to Iloilo which contains a list of places to go and things to try as well as helpful contact numbers. The guide can be accessed via phone scanning of special posters and standees at the airport, City Gallery and various establishments.
The mobile guide will be turned into a downloadable e-book for phones, tablets and e-readers in the coming weeks, and produced in partnership with Cebu Pacific.
It also includes a website that allows tourists to view an interactive map of places to go based on their locations. To view suggested areas, tourists need to turn on their gadget’s global positioning system or GPS, open myguide.ph and enable location sharing.
The QR code, e-guide, and online map projects started with Iloilo City and spread out to the rest of the province. QR codes and electronic guidebooks add to visitor experience by providing them relevant information about Iloilo’s historical, cultural, and other attractions.
Digital Tourism Project is a collaborative effort of city and provincial governments, Smart, InnoPub Media, and private sector partners.

Was APC’s victory on March 28 God ordained?
“Not to be a little superstitious is to lack the generosity of the mind”
Ahead of the March 28, 2015 elections into the office of the President, Senate and House of Representatives, there were a lot of predictions made by prophets, metaphysicians, and other spiritualists about who would win what. Of particular importance were the forecast made on who would win the presidential election between President Goodluck Jonathan and his main challenger, Muhammadu Buhari. Many of the prophecies gave victory to the incumbent President while only a few gave it to Buhari. One may be tempted to ask, what has God to do with elections?
However, Nigeria being a highly religious society, many people seek ‘the face of the Lord’ or gods in order to know the outcome of their ventures or endeavours. It was therefore not totally surprising that President Goodluck Jonathan became a “political evangelist” in the run-up to the March 28 elections as he visited and worshipped in many churches seeking prayer support for his re-election ambition as well as votes of the church members. Though the President might have done his political evangelism openly, there are many of his fellow politicians who did theirs “Nicodemously”, I mean secretly. It is an open secret that politicians spend a lot of resources consulting prophets, “alfas”, fortune-tellers, star-gazers and marabouts in order to enhance their victories at elections.
In the March 28 polls, a number of “spiritual things” are presumed to have influenced the victory of Muhammadu Buhari and his party, the APC. When on February 16, former President Olusegun Obasanjo asked that the chairman of the PDP in his ward, Surajudeen Oladunjoye, should tear his membership card, some theologians likened the act to tearing down the PDP government in Nigeria. They compared the act to what transpired between King Saul and Prophet Samuel in the Bible in 1 Samuel 15 verses 27 and 28 in which the prophet made a pronouncement that, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to your neighbour, who is better than you…” when King Saul mistakenly tore the cloth of the prophet.
On March 28, something significant also happened. The Independent National Electoral Commission had deployed four Smart Card Readers to the polling unit where President Jonathan would vote in his Otuoke hometown in Bayelsa State. Ironically, when the number one citizen and his wife arrived for accreditation, the SCR failed to authenticate him and his wife. For more than 10 minutes the electoral workers did everything they could but the machines did not authenticate the first couple. It was a moment of national embarrassment for the first citizen and INEC as all the drama took place in the full glare of international and national media. Eventually, manual accreditation had to be done for the President and his wife. Curiously, at the same polling unit, the President’s aged mother, Eunice, was promptly and duly verified and authenticated by the same card reader that rejected his son and wife. In Daura, Katsina State where the President’s main challenger voted, both Buhari and his wife, Aisha, had a seamless accreditation with the smart card reader. Did that say something about divine endorsement?
When the results of the election were computed, the APC won by 15,424,921 votes while the PDP’s total vote tally stood at 12, 853,162. Some thinkers went to work and did arithmetic on the results. They added each of the figures in the results together and it amounted to 28 for each of the parties. Was that a coincidence? How come we had the election on March 28 and both parties had results that are 28 when added? The philosophers were not done. They subtracted the total figures for the APC from that of the PDP and it came to 2,571,759 votes. Now, if you add these figures together it comes to 36 which is the total number of states we have in Nigeria. Was that a coincidence too or the hand of God in the election?
If you’re not yet convinced of some celestial involvement in the March 28 polls, how come Buhari became the fourth Nigerian president in his fourth attempt in this Fourth Republic in the fourth month of this year? Ladies and gentlemen, take it or leave it, there is a divine involvement in what happened on March 28. It is unprecedented for an incumbent President to be defeated in an election in Nigeria. More so, for a benevolent President who wields a lot of influence and was on a spending spree, whose political party controls both the executive and the legislative arms as well as majority of the states, it takes more than chanting the change slogan and flowery campaign promises to boot out such a political party at both the executive and legislative arms in one fell swoop.
I must hasten to say that seeking spiritual guidance or metaphysical support about an important assignment is a global phenomenon though the practice may not be as widespread as it is in Nigeria nay Africa. It will be recalled that Europeans engaged the service of Octopus Paul to make prediction on the team that would win in World Cup matches in 2010. According to Wikipedia, “Paul the Octopus (26 January 2008 – 26 October 2010) was a common octopus who supposedly predicted the results of association football matches. He made several accurate predictions in the 2010 World Cup which brought him worldwide attention as an animal oracle. During divinations, Paul’s keepers would present him with two boxes containing food. Each box was identical except for the fact that they were decorated with the different team flags of the competitors of an upcoming football match. Whichever box Paul ate from first would be considered his prediction for which team would win the match. His keepers at the Sea Life Centre in Oberhausen, Germany, mainly tasked him with predicting the outcomes of matches in which the German national football team was playing. Paul correctly chose the winning team in several of Germany’s six Euro 2008 matches, and all seven of their matches in the 2010 World Cup-including Germany’s third place play-off win over Uruguay on July 10. Following these predictions, his success rate rose to 85 per cent, with an overall record of 11 out of 13 correct predictions. Aside from his predictions involving Germany, Paul also foretold Spain’s win against The Netherlands in the 2010 World Cup final by eating a mussel from the box with the Spanish flag on it.”
Now that power has changed hands at the national level and could change hands in many states after the April 11 governorship and state house of assembly elections, the time has come to remind our newly elected representatives of their campaign promises and make concerted demands of them for the implementation of their manifestoes. Eternal vigilance, it is said, is the price of liberty.
