Markers are also a popular choice for coloring in stamps because of how easy they are to use. Simply color in the stamped image. If you have watercolor markers you may be able to use a blender pen to mix the colors, or create a softer look. Whatever color method you choose, it is generally a good idea to use a spray fixative to secure the colors. Do not use hairspray for this job because over time it will yellow the images and the paper.
What mother of preschoolers or other children hasn’t found broken crayons in the couch, under the couch, and all over the floor? You may even have been frustrated to find a crayon in the laundry, way after it’s too late to salvage the clothes in that load. Help your child create crayon wax-melting art to keep from having to throw all the broken crayons away.
I joined her in coloring, using the time to tune into her instead of against her. I found that I enjoyed coloring once again. It did its work on me also. Along with bonding with my child, I also relaxed and enjoyed the calming effect that coloring had on me.
Conté crayons are waxier and firmer than soft pastels, so they produce little dust and are easy to control. The sticks, which are 2 1/2” x 1/4” square, can be broken into shorter sections for ease of use for detail and shading. Today, Conte Crayons come in small sets of earth toned colors or larger color sets which include tans, violets, blues, reds, greens and yellows in rich, vibrant shades. The purity of the pigments used in Conte Crayons assures their permanence and longevity in art work. Some artists choose to use colored paper for their work with Conté crayons because the density of pigmentation in the crayon holds up well on a dark or colored paper surface.
Let the artist come out in your child. However, since you’re working with crayon wax-melting art, be sure to supervise closely to keep your child from injury. The artwork they create will spread colorful light across your room and into your heart.
The history of Conte Crayon is interesting. During the French Revolution, when Paris was under siege, much needed supplies of English graphite were permanently embargoed, creating a problem for the French pencil-maker, artist and scientist Nicholas-Jacques Conté. Conté had opened his pencil factory with his brother, Louis in 1793. For his business to survive, he had to find another way to produce a workable writing medium with a minimal amount of graphite that could be manufactured in France.

In 2016, I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder.
At the time, my first public performance in four years was just about to happen. I was so nervous about it that I went to my doctor to seek a short-term solution for getting through performance anxiety. I figured no big deal, get some beta-blockers and I’ll be good to go. As it turns out, performance anxiety may have been the least of my troubles.
After answering a bunch of questions and completing some tests, my doctor diagnosed me with generalized anxiety disorder and moderate depression. I was devastated, but honestly when I look back and knowing now all that I know (now after several years of therapy) I have no idea how I was functioning so well with all the challenges inside of me. My mind never calmed down. It was always going. I lived nearly 24/7 with a racing heart and stomach aches. My stomach would hurt so bad I couldn’t eat. Now that I am in treatment for my anxiety (combination of meds and therapy), I feel a lot better. I still experience some physical symptoms sometimes, but I have better methods of coping, I am much more self-aware, and the meds I take soften everything I feel so that the lows aren’t so unbearably low.
When I was in the thick of it, I wrote a song about what my anxiety feels like to me.
I call this song “Flooded.” The incessant repetitive chord progression represents the current of looped, toxic thoughts circling around in my brain when I’m in an anxious state.
Incidentally, this recording is the very first one I made while learning how to use Pro Tools.

Building a children playroom at home requires careful planning. To be healthier, consider the following tips for designing a children’s playroom!
There are many examples of children playroom on Instagram with various beautiful decorations and interior designs. I want to create a neat playroom like the one in the photos.
However, parents usually complain that their children’s playroom requires costly furniture and items.
Actually, a children playroom doesn’t have to be expensive. But make sure the room is safe, comfortable, attractive, and, of course, made with an affordable budget.
To help you, here are a number of tips for designing a good children playroom at home:
1. Make a thorough plan
Children will spend a lot of time in the playroom. Therefore, creating a children playroom requires careful planning.
Before creating a children playroom at home, you must first plan how the playroom will be formed.
What items and furniture will be placed in the room, what color will it be, how will it be laid out, and so on?
2. Pay attention to the walls
One thing that needs to be paid attention to is the walls of the playroom. Walls are the largest area in the house, which, if not appropriately kept clean, can spread germs.
So that children are always protected when doing activities in the playroom, you can use wall paint with silver-ion technology, anti-stain, and low odor.
Silver-ion can protect children from germs because it can fight dangerous bacteria. Anti-stain helps repel liquid stains. Low odor is a formula that makes the paint odorless during application or drying.
Children’s playrooms must be safe. Keep away objects that could harm children.
Some of these items are sharp table edges, glass furniture, oversized mirrors, or cupboard doors made of glass. It would help if you also secured the power outlet out of reach of children.
Cleanliness is also essential to maintain in children’s playrooms. Don’t choose fabric furniture that is too fluffy, for example, curtains and shaggy carpets, which can collect dust and dirt. This is important to pay attention to, especially if the child is at risk of allergies.
To overcome this, it would be better to put a rubber carpet that is easy to clean if it gets dirty or wet. Thick and soft rubber carpets can also be a safety measure if a child falls.
5. The Right Furniture
As much as possible, place furniture made of quality plastic for children. Safe, but still sturdy.
Also, prepare sufficient storage space so children can store their toys neatly and orderly.
You can put cupboards, shelves, or baskets in various colors and shapes to store children’s toys and books.
6. Play with Color
When your child is old enough and understands, you can ask what his favorite color is. If your child is too young to ask for an opinion, you can use neutral colors that match the color of the furniture in the room.
Colors like white, gray, brown, and cream can be choices. Avoid using too many wildly clashing colors that make the room less pleasing to the eye.
7. Prepare safe art and work tools
Children enjoy art and creating. So, prepare tools that they can use to create works in their playroom.
However, please ensure the tools are safe enough not to hurt them while playing. Also, avoid using materials that are toxic to them.
Tools such as scissors and glue are dangerous for children. Therefore, also remove these two tools from their playroom. If you want to use it, you must be under parental supervision.
8. Choose a floor that is safe for children
The floor is one of the main places for children to play. They enjoy lying on the floor while doing various other activities. So, make sure the floor in your child’s playroom is safe for them.
You can use rubber, soft carpets, foam mats, or safe rugs for children. Besides safety, consider creating a floor design that will appeal to them.
We can create a good and healthy children’s play space in a number of ways.

The five nominees for Best Animated Short at the 91st Academy Awards, I have suggested, are pretty damn good, surprisingly so even. No such surprise is in store for the nominees for Best Live Action Short, which like the animated category, feels heavily dominated by one theme. There, it was stories of parent-child relationships, designed to make you cry. The crying part remains intact; four of the five nominees in this category, somehow, either involve a child in peril, or a child in the middle of a traumatic event, or, fuck it, a child just straight-up getting killed. There are two films about children getting killed here. That is, by I think any standard, a lot. And it’s part of what makes this, by a fairly big margin, the worst category at the Oscars this year.
Detainment (Vincent Lambe & Darren Mahon, Ireland/UK)
And while they’re all a lot, none of them is more than this true story about Jon Venables (Ely Solan) and Robert Thompson (Leon Hughes), ten-year-old boys who kidnapped and murdered two-year-old James Bulger (Caleb Mason) in Merseyside in 1993. The film consists of re-enactments of the taped police interrogations of the two boys, intercut with their flashbacks to the crime.
The film has attracted controversy: Bulger’s family was not in any way contacted prior to the making of the film, and since its Oscar nomination, they’ve raised quite a loud public complaint about the tastelessness of the film, requesting (fruitlessly) for it to be striken from the the awards. Given what this is, that’s not much more than a PR headache for some agency that needs to be okay with losing this Oscar, and that’s absolutely the least the film deserves. This is, not to put too fine a point on it, absolutely dreadful. Even setting aside the ethical issue of whether or not this is a tawdry way to dishonro the memory of Bulger, there’s very little point to any of this. Director Vincent Lambe may or may not have had some grand plan for what the hell this was about, but it’s buried underneath sheer tabloid pornography, lingering over descriptions of violence and shoving the camera right up into the young actors’ faces, watching them trying not to cry.
There is nothing revelatory here, other than the not-very-shocking discovery that humans can be cruel beyond imagination. Nor does the film offer any insights into the way that juvenile perpetrators of violent crimes are or are not like adult perpetrators. It’s just a filthy wallow in viciousness, made somehow more agonising by the extremely poor performances by the child actors – exactly the thing that you’d want a sensitive filmmaker to have cracked first, to make sure this could be told with as much nuance and care as possible. I got no sort of spectatorial pleasure or aesthetic engagement or anything from this film, other than a sense of repulsion, and though I’m nowhere close to having watched every film ever nominated for a competitive Oscar, I’m pretty sure this is the very worst one I’ve seen.
Fauve (Jeremy Comte & Maria Gracia Turgeon, Canada)
Merely unpleasant where Detainment was acutely repulsive, we have here the other dead child. That probably counts as a spoiler, but I’m sufficiently ill-disposed to this film – to most of these films, really – that I just don’t give a damn.
The story revolves around a pair of tween boys, Tyler (Félix Grenier) and Benjamin (Alexandre Perreault), who spend one summer afternoon doing what aimless boys will do: wandering around the countryside, investigating spaces that are clearly marked out as off-limits, playing practical jokes on each other and keeping score of who has tricked the other more times throughout the day. One of these practical jokes goes wrong, and goes wrong in a rather unpleasant, lingering way, that allows us to really just ponder the horror felt by each child as they confront their foolishness and lack of power in the middle of a hostile world where all is suffering.
I’m sure there’s some kind of point to this, though I do not myself see what it might possibly be. It’s just a lightly nasty, nihilistic glimpse of something terrible happening for no good reason. It is, at least, well-crafted nihilism: writer-director Jeremy Comte does excellent work with his child actors, first capturing something casually true about the way that bored boys meander through life, and then guiding them to impressive fits of panic and confusion. Late in the film, he and cinematographer Olivier Gossot capture some fantastic shots of an implacably grey, dry landscape, swallowing up the humans in a vast wasteland. Did I learn anything? No, I certainly did not. But it does, anyway, feel shorter than its 17 minutes.
Madre (Rodrigo Sorogoyen & María del Puy Alvarado, Spain)
And would you look at that? It’s a film that’s kind of not all that bad. Indeed, end it one shot earlier, and it’s my favorite of these nominees. Which means quite a bit, given that the film only consists of four shots; but the last one is very short.
The great majority of the film’s 19 minutes takes place, instead, in the second shot. There are two women, Marta (Marta Nieto), and her mother (Blanca Apilánez), and the film is happy to let you assume for the first little bit that this is the relationship indicated by the title, as they bicker about her dating life. In short order, that is complicated: Marta’s young son is on a camping trip with his father, and he calls – the son, that is – to tell her that his dad has apparently gone missing. Maybe he got lost returning from the car; maybe the boy just has an incomplete sense of time. At any rate, Marta slowly escalates from mildly alarmed to full-on panicking over the course of their conversation, as her mother tries to calmly suggest all the reasons that panic is very definitely not helpful in this moment.
Basically, this is just an exercise in instilling rising anxiety in the viewer, but it’s a terrific exercise. Both actors are superb in controlling their emotions very precisely over the course of a very long take, and Rodrigo Sorogoyen blocks them all across a very wide-open white apartment, and in an agonisingly empty anamorphic widescreen frame, so that their relationships in space contribute to their sense of helplessness. The camera is as restless and confused as Marta herself, spinning around and never quite being sure where to stand or where to look. It’s a tremendously involving, even nauseating experience.
Top-notch thriller filmmaking all-around, then. It’s a damn pity that the final shot comes along and lacquers it with European Art Film Ambiguity™. I mean, ambiguity is the point of the thing – we’re not really ever allowed to know for sure if Marta is right to be alarmed, or if this is just her flying off the handle. But there’s ambiguity that remains centered in the characters and the space they inhabit, and melancholic, third-person ambiguity, and Madre spins off in the wrong direction. Still an effectively visceral experience, but I was astonished by how much I could feel it deflating.
Marguerite (Marianne Farley & Marie-Hélène Panisset, Canada)
I’m sure it’s possible to hold the opinion that this isn’t objectively the best of the nominees, but I don’t really see what would push one to that opinion. As the only one of the five films that isn’t centered on the misery of children, it automatically stands out; as the only one that suggests that there exists in this world some glimmer of hope that any one of us might some day enjoy being alive in the company of other humans, it’s definitely the only one that’s even vaguely pleasurable to watch.
So, Marguerite (Béatrice Picard) is a lonely old lady dying of diabetes. Yes, I said this was the “hopeful” one. The thing is, Marguerite has a very nice nurse that comes to help her every day, Rachel (Sandrine Bisson), and this human contact is enough to bring a small spark of meaning and joy to the older woman’s life. This feeling intensifies, for reasons that I would say constitute a spoiler; let it suffice to say that Marguerite has spent her whole life needlessly restricting her ability to feel happiness, and Rachel’s presence serves as a catalyst to cause her to open up a bit, in a very small way.
It’s a very soft and gentle character drama with a clear message that it, happily, never sees fit to pound home. Aye, it’s never too late to open up and become your best self; no, writer-director Marianne Farley does not plan to slap us in the face with that, but merely allow it come up mildly through Picard’s quiet pleasure and nervous joy. It’s a perfect example of how to use the room of a short film to sketch out one emotional response by relying on the acting, and Farley’s hushed, dusky approach to the material gives Picard all the room she needs to react slowly and in generous close-ups. Elegantly simple, and if this even slightly points to how good of a director of actors Farley can be, I hope very much that this presages a long and active career.
Skin (Guy Nattiv & Jaime Ray Newman, USA)
And now we cycle back to the beginning, with a film about which the very best I can say is that I don’t think it’s as fundamentally rotten as Detainment. Though it is, like that film, absolutely incomprehensible that the filmmakers would imagine that this story could be told in this way, and that things like restraint or tact or basic human decency aren’t even really considerations, let alone priorities.
The story (which has already been turned into a feature-length film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2018, and I cannot wait for it to be my least favorite movie of 2019) starts out as the story of beatific little Troy (Jackson Robert Scott), an adorable little boy being raised up to be a neo-Nazi skinhead by his loving father Johnny (Jonathan Tucker). One evening, an African-American man named Jaydee (Ashley Thomas) smiles at Troy in a grocery story, and this sets Johnny off: over the objections of Troy’s mom, Christa (Danielle Macdonald), Johnny chases Jaydee into the parking lot and beats the shit out of him, while Jaydee’s family watches, screaming, in a car.
Bold stuff, shocking stuff, stuff that isn’t handled very well at all. But this is merely scratching the surface of what makes Skin so profoundly objectionable. See, Jaydee’s friends and relations decide to get back at Johnny, and kidnap him, at which point the film undergoes a complete narrative break. Every bit of the film up to this point has been from Troy’s perspective; now it’s all from Johnny’s perspective, including during a beat at the very end that really ought to be from Troy’s perspective. But that’s not even the half of it. The particular form of the revenge taken against Johnny is complete fairy tale bullshit; Skin essentially turns into torture porn in this moment, watching as Johnny’s body is mutilated. What in God’s name we’re meant to make of it, I cannot fathom. Oh, there’s some dramatic irony, for sure (though not remotely enough for the game the filmmakers think they’re playing), and the film’s intended message is obvious, though I do not think it is the same as the film’s effective message. Really, though, I don’t know what writers Sharon Maymon and Guy Nattiv (the latter also directs) though they were doing by representing the African-American gang members as some kind of shadowy force from out of horror cinema, and trying to make it so that we exult, or at least somberly nod our heads, at Johnny’s suffering. Which is, like, not how movies work. We don’t vicariously share in the attack, but we also don’t really vicarously live through the suffering, so all that remains is a heavy through-line of unpleasant misery, culminating in an obvious sick joke. It’s a sour misfire that has absolutely nothing to say about racism in the actual world, only in the hapless knock-off of ’70s grind house mores that this film has in place of a mise en scène, and its absolutely bonkers incorproration of body horror goes so badly awry that I cannot fathom how the filmmakers ever thought it was going to work.
I mean, here it is, in contention for American cinema’s highest honor, but I’m still right.

Rustic wood cabins interconnected by wooden walkways stand amid a network of fountains, mountain streams, and small waterfalls. Dense forest and blooms of emerald ferns spread out in all directions. The train whistle and drum beats echo through the trees. At Klahowya Village in Stanley Park, natural scenery opens up to authentic representations of British Columbia's First Nations and Métis cultures through its attractions, performances, and artisan marketplace.

Honeybee Centre buzzes with professional apiarists and busy hives, which work together to support Surrey's agriculture and inform the next generation of beekeepers. Most of the staff's time is spent renting out hives to pollinate fruit crops, then harvesting the resulting honey⎯whether from blueberry, cherry, or pumpkin plants⎯to sell in their store. The insect experts also provide an extermination alternative by removing and relocating pesky colonies of bees and wasps.
Additionally, the centre devotes significant resources to education, whether through kid-friendly exhibits or basic to advanced beekeeping courses, which help students manage their own hives and join in the bees' ritual dances. In the Bees & Bugs lab, kids of all ages tackle hands-on educational activities and watch live bees and other bugs. Afterwards, visitors can relax in the centre's Tea Hive Café, noshing on cookies or pie while sipping locally roasted coffee in a greenhouse.

Dev and Joanne McIntyre first began to experiment with winemaking after moving to the Mt. Lehman area in 1984. They tended to their small backyard vineyard and carefully tracked how different grapes grew and developed in the region's distinctive climate. After sharing these data and collaborating with fellow viticulturalists, Dev and Jo narrowed the list of possibilities down to a few specific varietals, which they felt could ripen evenly along the relatively cool and precipitation-prone coastline.
When they purchased Salt Spring Vineyards in 2008, they set about growing some of these grapes, also opting to fashion pleasantly sweet wines from organic apples and locally grown blackberries. Although their very first experiments occasionally had to be recycled as wine vinegars, grape jellies, or aperitifs for pampered houseplants, they continued to hone their craft with each and every harvest. Currently, the selection boasts a range of styles, including a crisp, dry pinot gris and an unctuous cabernet libre that balances its dark fruit flavours with firm tannins. As a demonstration of their commitment to the environment, Dev and Jo also adhere to sustainable growing practices and avoid using any herbicides or pesticides in their fields.

HAMPTON — Already under state scrutiny for toxic contamination of Tabbs Creek and Back River, NASA-Langley Research Center now faces possible penalties and enforcement action for also releasing PCBs, a suspected carcinogen.
Tabbs Creek has been closed to shellfishing for some time because of bacteria contamination, and the PCB concentrations do not pose an additional health threat, state officials and research scientists say.
PCBs, polychlorinated biphenyls, are chemically related to polychlorinated terphenyls, or PCTs, which were discovered three years ago in high concentrations in Tabbs Creek and Back River. Both compounds have been traced to the NASA center, said Charles Lunsford, an environmental planner with the State Water Control Board.
High PCB concentrations have been shown to cause cancer and birth defects in testing of laboratory animals, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
NASA was notified in January that, because of the release of both compounds, it had violated the terms of its state water discharge permit, and the matter had been turned over to the board's enforcement section.
Enforcement procedures range from sending violators a letter demanding that the problem be solved to civil fines of $10,000 for each day the violation continues.
NASA discovered the PCBs while testing sediment for PCTs in September, Lunsford said.
PCBs were banned in 1979. Production of PCTs ceased in the early 1980s. Both compounds were used in electrical equipment and hydraulic fluids.
Lunsford said he suspects both compounds entered the water through the center's storm sewer system. Many buildings at the center have floor drains through which the compounds could have filtered, he said.
State water officials say they believe PCTs are no longer entering the waterways. They are unsure whether PCBs continue to be discharged.
"We found a problem, and we're fortunate it appears it hasn't gone very far," Lunsford said.
NASA is replacing all its electrical transformers containing PCBs and PCTs and is trying to identify the source of the discharges, said Cam Martin, a center spokesman.
"What we have confirmed is we have no active source leaking," Martin said. Continued PCB discharges could be from rain runoff from a number of areas at Langley, Martin added.
A test of the effluent at the Tabbs Creek site in May showed the presence of PCBs at 0.000057 parts per million, according to water control board records. A test in September of the creek's sediment from the discharge site to points 1,800 feet out showed PCBs and PCTs at much higher levels.
In other tests, NASA found trace amounts of PCBs and PCTs in sludge trapped at a discharge point on the Southwest Branch of Back River off Wind Tunnel Road.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration sets a tolerance level of 2 parts per million for the consumption of fish and shellfish contaminated with PCBs.
No tolerance level is set for PCTs, but the state Health Department said in a report last year that it would be "prudent" to use the PCB standard.
The College of William and Mary's Virginia Institute of Marine Science found PCT levels of 3.53 parts per million in oysters taken from beneath a bridge over Tabbs Creek in May. The creek is off limits to shellfishing.
Tests of finfish from the Back River by VIMS late last year and earlier this year probably will show levels of PCBs and PCTs that are far within safe limits, said Rob Hale, an assistant professor at the school.
"At this point we don't suspect high concentrations in fin fish," Hale said. "We're not overly concerned about Back River in general."

With fall semester in full swing and many possibilities on the horizon, it’s important to remember a few things to keep you and your partner in optimal sexual health. Check out this blog for information on men’s health
Practicing safe sex is part of obtaining enthusiastic consent as communication is vital to any sexual encounter. Discussing sexual and testing history promotes more enjoyable experiences and healthier relationships.
Sexually transmitted infections are only transmitted through sexual contact, meaning you can only get them from someone who has them. Sexual contact encompasses vaginal, oral and anal sex as well as contact, like rubbing, among genitals. You cannot get an STI from a toilet seat or from contact such as hugging.
Several types of STIs exist with two distinctions, bacterial and viral. Common bacterial STIs include chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis. Common viral STIs include herpes, HIV, HPV and Hepatitis B. While bacterial STIs are curable if caught early with a round of antibiotics for 7 to 10 days, viral STIs are incurable — only treatable with antibiotics or vaccinations. While there are many types, the most common symptoms are painful urination, lower abdominal pain, abnormal discharge and much more. But most people with STIs don’t present any symptoms and can still pass them on to others.
Having an STI also isn’t the end of the world. It’s comparable to an ear infection: People are supposed to get check-ups for their physical health at least once a year, the same is true for maintaining sexual health. They’re more common than people think. In the U.S., there were 1.59 million cases of chlamydia, according to the Center for Disease Control. Incidentally, chlamydia is the most common STI at the University of Wisconsin. So if you have an STI, or suspect you have one, don’t freak out!
As a sexually active individual, getting tested every few months is ideal. While some are curable, STIs left untreated can lead to detrimental health effects such as infertility or even increase your risk of contracting another STI. Though the safest practice to prevent STIs is abstinence, there are several ways to stay healthy and safe while sexually active. Barrier methods such as condoms and female condoms are a surefire way to prevent STIs as well as pregnancy. Be responsible for your own protection and don’t assume your partner will have protection on hand!
Communication is key to any sexual encounter. For STI prevention, talk to your partner about the last time they got tested. Be open with your sexual history and refrain from judgment if and when they tell you theirs. It is also your responsibility to tell your partner the last time you got tested. Without discussing these details before a sexual encounter, you are putting yourself at risk for an STI. Maintaining healthy communication throughout is a necessary component of safe sex. If you’re worried it’ll kill the mood, imagine the possibility of the symptoms mentioned above! Now that’s a mood killer for 7 to 10 days.
Sex Out Loud has a bucket of condoms right outside their office! They also have large bins full of condoms at the Student Activity Fair each year, so stock up!
UHS has a Sexual Health Clinic that provides screening, diagnosis and treatment for most STIs.

Newark and 25 Cities Around the World Will Create a Global Traveling Exhibit on Immigration and Climate Justice
Humanities Action Lab will convene a 4-day international gathering to launch the exhibit’s development
(NEWARK, NJ, Oct. 11, 2017) - From October 18-21, the Humanities Action Lab (HAL), an international coalition of universities, issue organizations, and public spaces, will gather in Newark to launch a global traveling exhibition on immigration and climate justice -- to be created by local communities in over 25 cities around the world. The occasion will celebrate the recent arrival of the HAL hub to Express Newark, a community arts incubator in collaboration with Rutgers University-Newark. “HAL and Rutgers-Newark are a perfect fit,” said Rutgers University–Newark Chancellor Nancy Cantor. “The group’s extraordinary work at the cutting edge of the public humanities already is leveraging work happening at Rutgers-Newark at the intersection of the arts, sciences, and professions—work that our faculty, students, and staff have been doing for generations that reflects the complexity of the challenges and opportunities facing our community and communities across America. We couldn’t be more thrilled about the possibilities for what HAL and Rutgers-Newark can accomplish through our new relationship.

- MEDIA ADVISORY: Start Healthy, Stay Healthy Early Childhood Nutrition Program Celebrates 114 New Graduates
- Abbott Leadership Institute’s Youth Media Symposium College Success Centers Host 'Scholarship Fridays',
- Mandela Fellows Visit RU-N, Learn of Newark's Promise and Pain
This international gathering will begin with the opening reception of HAL’s first project, States of Incarceration, the first nationally traveling multi-media exhibition on how America became the world’s incarceration leader. The exhibition, created by over 700 students and others directly affected by incarceration in 20 communities, is traveling to nearly two dozen cities, with events and companion exhibits focusing on each host community’s local stories. The Newark iteration, Seeking Asylum, Resisting Detention, is a collaboration between students from Rutgers University-Newark’s Graduate Program in American Studies, their professor, Dr. Mary Rizzo, and two local migrant advocacy organizations, First Friends and American Friends Service Committee. Opening keynote speaker Glenn E. Martin, founder and president of JustLeadershipUSA stated, “It has been an honor to serve as an advisor for this amazing project. In pressing forward with our efforts to end mass incarceration in America, it is crucial that we remember the long and sordid history that brought us to the point of being the world’s largest jailer. The States of Incarcerationtraveling exhibition has played an important role in elevating the voices and documenting the memories of those of us who have experienced the American prison system first hand. Only by understanding the suffering caused by our criminal justice and immigration policies can we create new systems that live up to our ideals of justice and fairness”
The Newark international convening has two parts:
- scholars, criminal justice reform advocates, and students from 26 cities explore how to activate community memory to combat mass incarceration through the States of Incarceration national traveling exhibition;
- students, scholars, and people working on the front lines of immigration and climate justice from around the world share local stories and design a new globally traveling exhibition. This exhibition will seek to activate memories of displacement to build new movements for justice.

HAL partner universities to date include Arizona State University, Brown University, DePaul University, Duke University, Durham University (UK), Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Johnson C. Smith University, Michigan State University, Northeastern University, Rutgers University-Newark, Rutgers University-New Brunswick, Skidmore College, SUNY Plattsburgh, The New School,, Universidad de Los Andes, University of California, Riverside, University of Connecticut, University of Massachusetts Amherst, University of Miami, University of Minnesota, University of Montana, University of New Orleans, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, University of Pretoria (South Africa), University of Texas at Austin, Vanderbilt University, and Winston-Salem State University. The Humanities Action Lab has been made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, National Endowment for the Humanities, Whiting Foundation, and the Open Society Foundations.

I only have firsthand knowledge of the G19; I've had no problems with it at all.
Like you I've heard about problems with some of the other calibers, especially .40 S&W, but don't know how prevalent they really are.
If I were shopping for a 10mm, I'd look for a used Colt or one of S&W's pistols or the M610 revolver. The 610 is really nice because it shoots .40 and 10 mm. It weighs 50 ounces (1400 grams), though
But that's just me.

With many high-schoolers– and even middle-schoolers– “vaping” as the inhalation of vapors from electronic cigarettes is now called, on a leisurely and more-consistent-than-you’d-like-to-think basis, the question has arisen: should we permit manufacturers to tempt our youth with a nicotine-stuffed device that can actually give way to addiction of conventional cigarettes?
Many researches worry that e-cigarettes are a gateway for nicotine addiction, particularly for the young. In a study consisting of nearly 40,000 youth from across the nation, Lauren M. Dutra, ScD and Stanton A. Glantz, PhD of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at UCSF realized that e-cigarette use fails to discourage– and could even encourage— conventional cigarette use among U.S. youth.
The anti-cigarette movement has fought the tobacco industry long enough to know that trusting e-cigarette manufacturers to do the right thing for America’s children is a foolhardy decision. The years it took before the tobacco industry simply admitted that smoking caused cancer is proof enough.
“When we look at 95 percent of individuals that smoke cigarettes, they all started that initiation before age 21,” says Dr. Janie Heath, Associate dean and professor of nursing at the University of Virginia School of Nursing. “So, there’s the likelihood of these younger ones starting on electronic cigarettes, and wanting to have more and more of a hit.”
Besides, Dr. Heath continues, “It’s harder to help an individual quit smoking than it is to get them off crack cocaine, heroin or any of the other drugs.”
The hope is for people who these young kids look up to to resist the temptation of marketing e-cigarettes in magazines and movies, as their endorsement alone could have a huge impact on the youth.
As the nation patiently awaits the scientific proof showing how harmful vaping is for our health, it’s time to keep our middle and high schoolers away from a horrifying addiction that can only result in poor health– and perhaps even death.
