Everyone's a victim
Angela K. Evans
Boulder, United States
Having your identity stolen, especially a social security number, is frightening and can have far reaching consequences for everyone involved; while some of the people who commit identity theft have malicious intents, some are undocumented people who are seeking work to make a living. A new program in Boulder, Colorado is using restorative justice practices to help mediate between and humanize the two parties and, hopefully, minimize long-term consequences for those in a tight spot.

Palm Beach County, Florida has many of the same social problems that Philadelphia has, including "gangs, drugs, and poverty." However, their school system has managed to keep students safe by employing "safe-school case managers" who build relationships with students, and they offer a youth court that is a system run by students who peer-review cases of unrest. The initiatives in this county has prevented school violence from happening without metal detectors and just two police officers.

Mitt Romney Wins The Gold In The Olympic Sport Of Insulting Entire Kingdoms
With Willard "Mittens" Romney having trouble connecting to the riff-raff and vagabonds not retroactively raking in nine-figure salaries here in America, his advisors figured why not let ol' Mitt try his perfectly manicured, white-gloved hand with the fine blokes across the pond, in the one and only land of Mary Poppins and mincemeat, wee Londontowne.
Naturally, Mitt's trip to our former tea taxing tyrants went about as smoothly as you'd expect from a stiff Mormon with an uncanny knack for insulting every man, woman, and child he's forced to awkwardly greet. Great Britain meet Gaffe Mittens!
Oooh, but whatever jerk thing came out of his mouth this time!?
"Do they come together and celebrate the Olympic moment? That's something which we only find out once the Games actually begin," [Romney] said.
"It's hard to know just how well it will turn out. There are a few things that were disconcerting….The stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and Customs officials – that obviously is not something which is encouraging."
The remarks were greeted with anger, with many British supporters of the Games taking to Twitter to accuse Mr Romney of being graceless and rude.
To which he replied with a sincere thank you from the bottom of his heart heart-shaped box of money stashed in the Cayman Islands. Besides, he has been brushing up on his American!
Now Tory Prime Minister David Cameron has swiped back. Said Cameron: "We are holding an Olympic Games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in the world. Of course it's easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere."
Preferably, some great Lake of Sodium plopped in the middle of some weird Mormon desert paradise where a man and his sisterwives can build beautiful dressage arenas in peace and public slush funds.
I mean, it's not as if this is the first time Sir Willard "Mitt" Romney has insulted his Anglo-Saxon brethren in the Great British Empire.
Via Political Wire:
Romney wrote, in his book, No Apology:
"England is just a small island. Its roads and houses are small. With few exceptions, it doesn't make things that people in the rest of the world want to buy. And if it hadn't been separated from the continent by water, it almost certainly would have been lost to Hitler's ambitions."
Sigh, a Morman can still dream, right?
Now that we all know that the London Olympics are just a hot metric tonne of rubbish compared to the awesome, exciting, Red, White, & Blue Olympics he ran in the U-S-A, will Mitt at least show some love for the world's greatest Olympian, the dressage horse Rafalca and its proud owner Dame Ann Romney?
Please, something, anything, just a little to prove you do have some actual human emotions coursing through all that bluebood of yours??
"It's a big, exciting experience for my wife. I have to tell you, this is Ann's sport," he said. "I'm not even sure which day the sport goes on. She will get the chance to see it, I will not be watching the event. I hope her horse does well. But just the honor of being here and representing our country and seeing the other Olympians is … something which I'm sure the people that are associated with this are looking forward to."
"Associated with" as in married to, and "this" being the prized stallion he's spent long evenings lovingly feeding carrots, stroking tenderly, and whispering sweet nothings to in the stable every night after everyone's gone to sleep.
Though in his defense, some of Mitt's best wives own horses!

Collection of the Guild of St George, Museums Sheffield
'The Madonna and the Rich Man', drawing towards 'The Roadside Songs of Tuscany'
Date Made/Found: 1882-1883
Artist: Francesca Alexander , American, 1837 - 1917
Material and Medium: pen and ink on paper
Dimensions: Frame: 660 x 520 x 15mm Sight size: 357 x 260mm
Department: Ruskin
Accession Number: CGSG00172
'The Roadside Songs of Tuscany' is a decorative book of twenty songs, collected from the countryside around Florence. Alexander transcribed and translated the songs, noted down the tunes and illustrated scenes from each ballad using local people as models. Together, she and John Ruskin used the book to raise money for the area's poorer families. Alexander also wanted to preserve a fast disappearing part of the area's culture. She collected many of these songs from an elderly woman called Beatrice Bernardi who had been a stone labourer and shepherd, and had been famous in the local area for her improvised poetry and singing. This particular song tells how the Virgin Mary, who is hungry, goes to a rich man to ask for the scraps of discarded food. He refuses to give her any, saying they are for his dog. Three days later, the rich man dies and because he refused to help Mary is sent to Hell. Alexander's original illustrated page of text and music is also in the Ruskin Collection.

Pensacola Public Sexual Indecency Attorneys
Public sexual indecency is all too often viewed as a relatively minor infraction. It encompasses a wide variety of acts that range from explicit to accidental to "all in good fun." Yet, the consequences for violating Florida's indecent exposure laws are nothing to joke about. Jail time, fines, and possibly being forced to register as a sex offender carry serious and long-term implications that can make finding housing, job hunting, and personal relationships a challenge.
At The Morris Firm, our Pensacola sex crimes defense lawyers understand the serious repercussions that can arise from a public sexual indecency conviction. That's why we work diligently to protect the legal rights of our clients and craft a defense strategy that offers the best chance at a favorable outcome. If you've been charged with a public sexual indecency crime, you need immediate support and a defense team that can help you navigate the legal process.
For more information on how we can help defend your rights, call us, and let's talk about the details of your case. To set up a case evaluation, call us at (850) 503-2626. We want to help you move forward with your life and get you going in a positive direction.
What Is Public Sexual Indecency?
The most common example of public sexual indecency that can be prosecuted under Florida law is that of lewdness and indecent exposure. Indecent exposure is defined as the unlawful exposure of sexual organs. Exposing or displaying sexual organs in public, or even on some private premises, is a violation of Florida law and is considered a first-degree misdemeanor. However, multiple offenses of indecent exposure can result in felony charges. The only exceptions to this law are mothers who are breastfeeding and individuals who are naked in specific places set aside for that purpose. Think of a locker room or changing area in a club or gym.
Lewd or lascivious offenses are sexual offenses committed in the presence of a minor. Lewd or lascivious exhibition is the exposure of sexual organs, masturbation, or an intentional sexual act in view of those under the age of 16. Since this form of exposure takes place in front of a minor, it is considered a second-degree felony charge, and the penalties can be severe.
Penalties for Public Sexual Indecency
The consequences can be severe for those found guilty of public sexual indecency, especially if minors are involved. Depending on the nature of the crime, a conviction may result in prison time and significant fines.
Up to 1 year in jail
Fines up to $1,000
Lewd or Lascivious Exhibition
Up to 15 years in prison
Fines up to $10,000
In addition to time behind bars and fines, a conviction can also result in probation, mandatory counseling sessions, and having to register as a sex offender. These penalties can significantly impact an individual's ability to retain employment (especially in certain fields), limit their housing opportunities, and tarnish their reputation.
What Activities Could Result in Exposure Charges?
Exposing sexual organs in public is not the only way to end up with indecent exposure charges. Many people are shocked at the types of behaviors that can land them in hot water with the authorities. Even activities that go on behind closed doors, but can be viewed through open windows, may result in serious charges.
In Florida, individuals could face charges of indecent exposure if they are caught engaging in the following:
Exposing sexual organs in public
Exposing sexual organs to minors
Urinating in public
Skinny dipping
Engaging in sexual behaviors in public
Engaging in sexual activities on private property, but in public view of others (open window or door)
Mooning someone
While some of these activities seem "all in good fun," that isn't the way the law perceives them. They are viewed as serious criminal offenses that may carry significant criminal penalties for those convicted.
Defenses for Public Sexual Indecency
There is no cookie-cutter defense tactic for public sexual indecency. The circumstances of the incident and the evidence provided dictate how an experienced attorney will approach the defense strategy. There may be a variety of different avenues to pursue that can prove an individual's innocence or to demonstrate that there was no lewd or vulgar intention behind the act itself. In some cases, a defense attorney may be able to argue that the exposure was unintentional, the defendant was not aware that they were visible to the public, or that there is limited evidence to convict.
A public sexual indecency charge may seem like a minor offense, but the repercussions of a conviction can be long-standing. One night of "harmless" fun can turn into a lifetime of struggling to find employment, being barred from certain areas, and having trouble securing housing. Charges of this nature can haunt you for years. Imagine the embarrassment of telling a new significant other about this charge on your record.
Don't take a chance. Get in touch with an experienced defense attorney who has the resources to protect your rights and work towards a favorable outcome for your situation. At The Morris Firm, we work diligently to build a solid defense based on the circumstances of your unique situation.

My mother left Memphis in 1988 to be near my brother's family in Austin. She was 60 at the time and had lived in Memphis her whole life. She wanted a new identity after my father's death the year before.
I've often wondered how much money she had after she sold the house she and Dad lived in for 30 years. I do know the car she arrived in, a mid-80s Oldsmobile Cutlass, was the same car she was driving 15 years later when she died. She prayed the car would last one day longer than she did, and the night before she died my niece saw the car abandoned on the side of the road, left by whomever mom sold it to. Realizing what that meant, I rushed back to my mother's apartment, finding the hospice nurse already there.
I see now the move my mom made to a new city at that stage in her life was a journey of faith. She left friends, neighbors and the church community she'd help create to start over again. Whenever I need to move forward to some new place in my life, either geographically or emotionally, I remember this. My mother didn't know what words to use to encourage me along the paths I needed to take, but her endurance and perseverance remain with me.
After she moved, she lived in a duplex a few streets from my brother and sister-in-law, who had two daughters ages five and nine at the time. In some ways, it worked well. She became part of the girls' lives, started a new job and developed new friends. But she missed the friends she'd made as a hairdresser in Memphis.
The rituals of hairdressers die hard, and these women had worked in the same shop 35 years, raised children together, helped each other through disabilities, diseases, accidents and widowhood. I don't believe any of them divorced. This was characteristic of women in my mom's generation but was also due to lunches the women held at each others houses.
The lunch bunch reupholstered living room furniture, painted walls, shampooed carpets, polished silver, mowed and edged lawns before the lunches began. From inside my treehouse, I could hear them giggling and clinking glasses in the house as they ate the deviled eggs, sliced cheeses and scooped honeydew and watermelon balls my mother and I prepared before they arrived.
Georgia, Dot, Oresa, Mozelle, Mary Francis, Roxie, Rosie and Helen — I'm reminded of the honeysuckle vines that grew along a fence behind our house. The smell of the ladies' hugs remained on me for hours after they left, as mom and I carefully washed the crystal and china and slipped the silver forks, knives and spoons back into their special compartments inside the velvet box.
On Wednesdays as mom and I drove home from Oresa's pool, still in our swimming suits and still smelling of chlorine, she was always relaxed and happier.The women took from each other what they needed to move on, my mother's determination, Oresa's business savvy, Mozelle's humor, Roxie's candor, Mary Francis' tact, the divinity in Dot's face and the grace in Helen's.
I don't know what they talked about when the children were sent away, but I do know as the women sat beneath the table umbrellas, smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee, they began to resemble each other. Through the bawdy jokes and tears and baskets of flowers, they'd learned to listen to each other, not only what was said but what wasn't said and what needed to be heard in the silence. Mom never found that again after she left Memphis.
Three of the women drove to Austin to visit mom after she moved away. Standing in her driveway, they noticed fig trees overloaded with ripe figs in a neighbor's yard. Early the next morning, they woke, slipped into the yard, stole the figs and carefully returned to my mom's house, stifling laughter all the way. In her kitchen, they meticulously sorted the figs into four sacks and tried not to eat any. Fig preserves were a specialty among the lunch bunch — figs, a fruit that symbolize fertility and the feminine world, women both as goddess and mother.
In discussions with my brother this morning, I discovered our great great grandparents immigrated from Switzerland in 1885 to help establish a Swiss farming community in Kentucky called Bernstadt.
In the 1880s, the Kentucky Bureau of Immigration sent agents to Europe with pamphlets touting Kentucky's bright future, and many Swiss farmers immigrated in response. Three hundred and thirty six families bought property on 40,000 acres of land in Kentucky. Die Kolony Bernstadt was the largest of four Swiss colonies in the region. Many of these German-speaking immigrants were from the canton of Bern in west-central Switzerland. They wanted to immigrate because high land prices caused a farming crisis in their own country.
"Kentucky has gone to work in a very sensible way to induce immigration and to attract settlers of the right sort. The Bureau of Immigration was established in 1880. It began to publish facts about the State, in regard to the geologic formation, the soils, the price of lands, both the uncleared and the lands injured by slovenly culture, the kind and amount of products that might be expected by thrifty farming, and the climate; not exaggerated general proclamations promising sudden wealth with little labor, but facts such as would attract the attention of men willing to work in order to obtain for themselves and their children comfortable homes and modest independence.
Invitations were made for a thorough examination of lands — of the different sorts of soils in different counties — before purchase and settlement. The leading idea was to induce industrious farmers who were poor, or had not money enough to purchase high-priced improved lands, to settle upon lands that the majority of Kentuckians considered scarcely worth cultivating, and the belief was that good farming would show that these neglected lands were capable of becoming very productive.
Eight years' experience has fully justified all these expectations. Colonies of Swiss, Germans, Austrians, have come, and Swedes also, and these have attracted many from the North and Northwest. In this period I suppose as many as ten thousand immigrants of this class, thrifty cultivators of the soil, have come into the State, many of whom are scattered about the State, unconnected with the so-called colonies.
These colonies are not organized communities in any way separated from the general inhabitants of the State. They have merely settled together for companionship and social reasons, where a sufficiently large tract of cheap land was found to accommodate them. Each family owns its own farm, and is perfectly independent. An indiscriminate immigration has not been desired or encouraged, but the better class of laboring agriculturists, grape-growers, and stockraisers.
There are several settlements of these, chiefly Swiss, dairy-farmers, cheese-makers, and vine-growers, in Laurel County; others in Lincoln County, composed of Swiss, Germans, and Austrians; a mixed colony in Rock Castle County; a thriving settlement of Austrians in Boyle County; a temperance colony of Scandinavians in Edmonson County; another Scandinavian colony in Grayson County; and scattered settlements of Germans and Scandinavians in Christian County.
These settlements have from one hundred to over a thousand inhabitants each. The lands in Laurel and Lincoln counties, which I travelled through, are on a high plateau, with good air and temperate climate, but with a somewhat thin, loamy, and sandy soil, needing manure, and called generally in the State poor land — poor certainly compared with the blue-grass region and other extraordinarily fertile sections.
These farms, which had been more or less run over by Kentucky farming, were sold at from one to five dollars an acre. They are farms that a man cannot live on in idleness. But they respond well to thrifty tillage, and it is a sight worth a long journey to see the beautiful farms these Swiss have made out of land that the average Kentuckian thought not worth cultivating. It has not been done without hard work, and as most of the immigrants were poor, many of them have had a hard struggle in building comfortable houses, reducing the neglected land to order, and obtaining stock.
A great attraction to the Swiss was that this land is adapted to vine culture, and a reasonable profit was expected from selling grapes and making wine. The vineyards are still young; experiment has not yet settled what kind of grapes flourish best, but many vine-growers have realized handsome profits in the sale of fruit, and the trial is sufficient to show that good wine can be produced. The only interference thus far with the grapes has been the unprecedented late freeze last spring.
At the recent exposition in Louisville the exhibit of these Swiss colonies — the photographs showing the appearance of the unkempt land when they bought it, and the fertile fields of grain and meadow and vineyards afterward, and the neat plain farm cottages, the pretty Swiss chalet with its attendants of intelligent comely girls in native costumes offering articles illustrating the taste and the thrift of the colonies, wood-carving, the products of the dairy, and the fruit of the vine — attracted great attention.
I cannot better convey to the reader the impression I wish to in regard to this colonization and its lesson for the country at large than by speaking more in detail of one of the Swiss settlements in Laurel County. This is Bernstadt, about six miles from Pittsburg, on the Louisville and Nashville road, a coal-mining region, and offering a good market for the produce of the Swiss farmers. We did not need to be told when we entered the colony lands; neater houses, thrifty farming, and better roads proclaimed it. It is not a garden spot; in some respects it is a poor-looking country; but it has abundant timber, good water, good air, a soil of light sandy loam, which is productive under good tillage. There are here, I suppose, some two hundred and fifty families, scattered about over a large area, each o"h its farm.
There is no collection of houses; the church (Lutheran), the school-house, the store, the post-office, the hotel, are widely separated; for the hotel-keeper, the store-keeper, the postmaster, and I believe the school-master and the parson, are all farmers to a greater or less extent. It must be understood that it is a primitive settlement, having as yet very little that is picturesque, a community of simple working people. Only one or two of the houses have any pretension to taste in architecture, but this will come in time — the vine-clad porches, the quaint gables, the home – likeness. The Kentuckian, however, will notice the barns for the stock, and a general thriftiness about the places. And the appearance of the farms is an object-lesson of the highest value.
The chief interest to me, however, was the character of the settlers. Most of them were poor, used to hard work and scant returns for it in Switzerland. What they have accomplished, therefore, is the result of industry, and not of capital. There are among the colonists skilled laborers in other things than vine-growing and cheese-making — watch-makers and wood-carvers and adepts in various trades. The thrifty young farmer at whose pretty house we spent the night, and who has saw-mills at Pittsburg, is of one of the best Swiss families; his father was for many years President of the republic, and he was a graduate of the university at Lucerne.
There were others of the best blood and breeding and schooling, and men of scientific attainments. But they are all at work close to the soil. As a rule, however, the colonists were men and women of small means at home. The notable thing is that they bring with them a certain old civilization, a unity of simplicity of life with real refinement, courtesy, politeness, good-humor. The girls would not be above going out to service, and they would not lose their self-respect in it.
Many of them would be described as "peasants," but I saw some, not above the labors of the house and farm, with real grace and dignity of manner and charm of conversation. Few of them as yet speak any English, but in most houses are evidences of some German culture. Uniformly there was courtesy and frank hospitality.
The community amuses itself rationally. It has a very good brass band, a singing club, and in the evenings and holidays it is apt to assemble at the hotel and take a little wine and sing the songs of fatherland. The hotel is indeed at present without accommodations for lodgers—nothing but a Wirthshaus, with a German garden where dancing may take place now and then.
With all the hard labor, they have an idea of the simple comforts and enjoyments of life. And they live very well, though plainly. At a house where we dined, in the colony Strasburg, near Bernstadt, we had an excellent dinner, well served, and including delicious soup. If the colony never did anything else than teach that part of the State how to make soup, its existence would be justified.
the title I gave this journal.
The following excerpts are from a journal written between 1986 and 1989, during the years my father died, I was first married and discovered I was a lesbian.
my leaves number only twenty-three.
completed for an art class during that period.
My mother's car was stolen today. I sit here waiting for the police, remembering years ago when a man broke in on her with an ax. The sun bakes the windshields and my legs. I feel guilty because in the middle of her phone call, I was thinking weekend before exams, what a great time for this to happen. We used to look at each other in the eyes when we said goodbye. Now we pull away. Something killed that in us too.
Inside my salty brain, images of us float eight feet deep. I dive into the cold where sun has not shone for months to lift the pieces of my broken identity from inside you, a drain of fouled leaves, dead spiders and rocks. Death is a game, and marriage is lonelier than solitude.
I hit him in the head, and the blood flowed so fast, soaking everything, the sheets the corner of the bed. Why did I do it, why did I hit him so hard. Across the sink, on the bathroom floor, it's everywhere. I hate who I am. I hate who I am so I hit him. They asked at the hospital what he'd done to make me do it. I hate who I am I hate who I am I hate who I am.
You are my mother. You put your hand on my shoulder. I try to wash you off me like the smell of cigarettes once you're gone.
A cat opened me up and licked inside me until I was wet with her. Her eyes blinked the flat, blank stare of a cat. She looked up at me only once. I loved the purr from inside her flat stomach as she rubbed against me. I scratched her curved, thin back, and she gently placed her head between my breasts and stroked me.
I always think when I'm sitting in these gay bars, there's got to be more to it than this. I don't know what they hope for. I pick up a pool stick and wipe the white powder on my hands. In their faces are the starved eyes of children. The chalk is as white as the cocaine Charlie's trying to give Stacy. I see him land and fall near her then fall away. She flatters him with a smile. I don't understand why we're here, but I stay here with her listening to Bobby. He worked for the Commercial Appeal and tells me bad jokes about the newspaper. They move like ghosts around the walls of this room or sit by themselves at dark tables. Men dressed as women, women trying to look like men, female impersonators. Everything's opposite of what it is.
Dear Robin, thank you for always being there. You're like the sister I never had. Remember the wedding. I don't know who else I'd talk to about this. It seems like our lives are so different. You're married and have a child, and now I'm not. Some friendships happen so fast and then they're over, but this one's lasted so long.
My mother is moving to Texas to be near my brother and his family. We pack away the house. Today we were in the attic, crawling over thick layers of insulation. We waddled from board to board, trying to keep the pink fibers from cutting into our skin. She wanted me to find a piece of marble that's been up there for years and goes on top of a washstand my grandparents had. I passed down furniture, disassembled cribs and playpens and bed frames and old toys and boxes of Christmas and Easter decorations and barrels of Barbies. We each stepped back onto the ladder out of the dark womb into the light.
I hang over the top bar of the swing set and can't stop crying. No more swings or sandboxes or tree houses or play house. My mother toes the grass and walks away.
Now I'm back with Billy I think that whole lesbian thing was just a late adolescent stage I had to go through. I'm ashamed Sharon Bryan even knows what happened.
My mother said when I told her I didn't want to be a poet anymore that I should just keep writing anyway. She acted like being a poet was dumb thing to want to be. I wish I could want to be something like a nurse or a teacher that's normal. I feel like I should drop that drawing class. Staying in it will probably just drop my gpa. It's okay to fail, but not this way, not in this.
Tomorrow I meet Ellen Bryant Voigt. Today Billy and I went to her reading. She seems like such a warm, personable woman. I listened to her reading and kept hoping she would look at me. I wish I could just sit there and look into her eyes.
I talked to Ellen Bryant Voigt about my poetry tonight. She told me I need to read more. Right now I'm reading through the Antaeus Anthology. She said music didn't fulfill her need for expression for a long time but that writing did.
I tried to kill myself last week. I opened up a vein in my arm, but it seemed hopeless and still does. I don't know what to do. I want to believe in something but don't know what.
A shotgun sounds across the tracks from our house and ricochets through the neighborhood. We walked down to see if we could see anything but could only see the train cars.
Hope, next two exits. I gave my brother a sweater for Christmas and my sister-in-law a book, the kids toys and my mother clothes. They gave us an electric blanket. Now we're driving home, and I have to go to the bathroom again. My mother smokes cigarettes and guides the car from one lane to the other for 600 miles.
When she began hanging out in malls and movie theaters, no one noticed, not even her husband. He asked her once why she wanted to go to the movies alone and she said, to think. Being around books helped, so she'd hang out in bookstores too. Christmas with her family was nice, a cocoon she received shelter and love in. But afterwards on the ride home she felt empty and lost again and tried not to believe she felt empty and lost. She stopped taking long walks. They had long sense done any good.
Sometimes when the old woman would walk, she would wipe the rain from the leaves on her face. She tried hard to remember what it was she loved most when she was young, but the walks made her tired and she had to return home.
Alone in her apartment, she would read her books, "The art of losing isn't hard to master, so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost their loss is no disaster." And as she read, she remembered.
For in the sea is both beauty and cruelty, and no one knows in his chest are the walls of salt and in his fingers the blood of salt and in his mind the thoughts of the sea.
On the other side of the tracks lives a family of three black women in a green house. It has two stories. One day I walked over there, and they waddled out to their balcony so we could talk. Their hair was full of pink rollers, and I watched them take them out as we stood there. Billy and I were thinking about moving over there, but the roofs look crooked and the yards have no grass and people walk with golf clubs like they're canes.
Today I discovered the computer has dropped me from all my classes at school. I drained myself on a long bike ride and could hardly walk up the steps when I got home. It's the two-year anniversary of my father's death. I never could stand the thought of growing up and being like him, his messiness, his obsessiveness, his habits, his Jewishness maybe, whatever that was, we never discussed it. I think he always felt isolated even when he was sitting in the same room with us. I don't know what I wanted him to be, so how can I say I don't want to be like him. But sometimes when I look in the mirror, I see his face.
I imagined someone else and not him.
your face, your smell, your hair, your skin.
I did the unforgivable thing.
I came in from a date tonight with this guy named Kevin Daddy doesn't particularly like. He said, "Hi Darlin, how you doing?" I thought, "He sure has cheered up a lot since the last time I saw him." Mamma was in bed. I found a Hallmark card in my room telling me what a wonderful daughter I am. They think of me, they love me but they rarely do anything like this. I've given them cards like this in the past, but not like this from the heart.
When I woke Mamma up to tell her I was home, she smiled at me. I'll keep this card forever and probably even show it at school. I think she was telling me not to stay out late just because she misses me. She tells me all the time she's sick of me and her and Daddy going in three different directions at once. She's always the one at home.
I wish I could be the way it says in the card, helpful and considerate and noticing little things. But that's not me. I just turn them away. Why does this alarm go off every time one of them comes near me?
Sometimes all I can hear outside are dogs screaming in the distance. Their garbled voices almost seem human. Then everything goes silent.
The most gradual thing in the world is the beginning of rain. It starts lazily in the morning like I do. Then each drop tries to fit inside every other drop until they all fit inside each other. The birds stop singing, and the rain slows down until it becomes a dull pat on the window. The birds start singing again, and each one has a new song. Everything outside seems clean with life.
are revealed and the confusion is gone.
With some pain is fraught.
When I was a little girl about seven, my grandmother died. Mamma came into the room. The window was open and the door was closed and there was light shining on the floor. She sat down beside me and told me angels had come during the night to take Granny to heaven. Granny had gotten sick. I remember her blue eyes and how she used to live here with us. She always wore the same blue dress. Mamma says I'm just like her. At the funeral, I can remember weaving in and out the pews. Then right before they shut the coffin, Pa cried.
It's my last day of high school. It seems like there needs to be something to make this day special. It's all so quiet, but maybe I'm just being too serious again. It's that music in my head. It makes me too intense.
This is my first great step. I didn't really think it would ever happen. It seems great things like miracles are only just things you read about in books. Now everybody's telling me I'm making this big step, but it doesn't feel that way to me. When I was in my music teacher's office today, I wanted to tell her how scared I was and ask to hold me for a minute, but we've never done that before.
Well, anyway, I have to go to work, but I'm afraid this day is going to end before anything really good happens.
This evening John and I went down to the river and sat on top of the Shriner's building where his father works. John said it was one of the best evenings of his whole life. We sat there and watched the river and could hear the music from Chariot's of Fire on a radio in the distance. We must have seen that movie five times together.
The river flowed with the music. It danced when the music danced and slowed down when the music slowed down. The sun started to set and lit up the sky in orange and purple. John said it looked like the seaside of another world. The blue sky was the ocean and the clouds was the land.
This afternoon was my Baccalaureate service at school and God helped me get through the Hallelujah Chorus and the Battle Hymn of the Republic. There was this moment when everyone was singing and I was on stage. I went up to the microphone and sang the school song, On our city's Southern border soaring in the sky stands our dear old alma mater, hail Oakhaven high. Forward ever be our watchward, conquer and prevail. Hail to thee, our alma mater, Oakhaven High all hail.
My father said he was crying like a baby, but God helped me get through without crying. Then they asked me to go back up and give the benediction. I didn't know they were going to ask me to do that. I've only ever heard it in church, but as soon as I started I remembered the words, May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
I wonder if I'll remember this day. My brother and I walked arm and arm all the way to the car after the ceremony, and he said he was so proud of me. Mamma said she was proud too. I remember looking back at the stage when it all was over and seeing the wood flats laying up there like they've always been. It seemed so empty. We wait all our lives for graduation. Then it happens, and it's done.
Grief knits two hearts together into a stronger bond than happiness ever can.
I wish I could remember what it was like when I was a little girl and used to sit with Mamma in church. I wish I could remember what thoughts I had. I wish I could remember what kind of love she had for me then, what kind of tenderness. I wonder what I thought of her.
Now that I'm older, she doesn't treat me like that. I can't crawl up into her lap and hold her or crawl in beside her at night when I'm sick. I wonder if one of these days when she's no longer here, I'll regret not being able to do that. She's here to pass on strength now, to get me ready for the world.
When I finally found her at graduation, she had tears in her eyes and there was some weakness there I rarely see and I don't know how to describe. We hugged each other and it seemed like she liked me and saw things in me she saw in herself, maybe even her strength.
God helped me find my Scripture Memory Motivator today. He's been taking real good care of me lately.
Tonight John and I went to the Sunset Symphony down on the river at Memphis in May. The weather was perfect, and the sunset was beautiful. I especially liked the 1812 Overture. They shot real canons, and you could hear them echo on the river.
James Hyter sang Ol' Man River. Then they asked him to stand up and sing it again. He goes to John's church, and he says James Hyter sits in the back row and tries to sing low but you can still hear him.
Today was my first day of college. It was just like first grade. You walk into a place and can't imagine what it's like. The campus seemed like a bunch of old buildings. Everything seemed old. The air seemed stale inside, and the people walking through the halls and campus all seemed old too. They were all wearing old clothes and seemed like they must be in their forties or fifties. I'm taking English 1101, and John got in too.
I got to sit by Maria Van Trapp tonight during a Bartlett production of the Sound of Music. She was so fully of energy. I finally got a car and could drive over there by myself.
Jen Bervin is a poet and installation artist. When I rediscovered the letters from my mother and saw her use of the + sign and dash mark, it reminded me of Bervin's 2006 installation piece The Dickinson Fascicles.
From 1858 to 1864, Emily Dickinson gathered 800 of her poems into 40 groups and stab-bound them into booklets, called fascicles.

You don't really see the impact that an ashram has had on you until you leave the place and return to your normal life. Only then, said the former nun from South Africa, will you start to notice how your interior closets have all been rearranged.
Darling, this card says a lot about the way we feel about you. You will never know how Momma and I love you. Daddy There on the underside of a Hallmark card my mind jarred back in time as I recognized the handwriting.
As a child, I didn't notice my mother never used periods. In one continuous thought joined by dashes, she listed the events of her life. I'd receive several letters the week I was gone. She talked about ironing her uniforms for work, painting the house, rearranging the furniture, giving a woman a toolbox as a shower gift and all the errands she ran on her day off. She asked about my swimming lessons and gave updates on my softball team. I remember how excited I was to receive them.
Now I realize the summer camp was down the road from the facility for tuberculosis-susceptible children she was sent as a child to be fattened up. She didn't want me to feel abandoned as she had.
Classes started this week at the community college where I teach, and my students will be doing the same timeline journal I did in Clue class in 1977. It includes: a page of failures, successes, heroes, comparisons, likes, dislikes, questions, special times, observations, emotions, opinions, feelings, a time line with photos, a collage using magazine clippings and an acrostic poem. I hope my students open a box one day and find that life, moving vans and a wet basement haven't eaten away the words.
Sitting in a quiet house, you hear lots of strange sounds, sounds you normaly wouldn't have heard. Being alone tonight at this time, my thoughts drift back 18 years ago when I spent a day very like one, but very different too.
Someday he would have a "something". By then no-one [missing text] we would take any thing we could get — Granny was in New Mexido at the time visiting your aunt and uncle — so in my haste to get a note to them, I misspelled the word pregnant by leaving out the "n" and a quick reply came back from your aunt saying that she knew why it took me so long to get that way … "I couldn't even spell it." [missing text] for many a year I heard that.
Baptismal dress in photo made by my grandmother.
We had you baptized when you were 18 days old — and continued to carry you to church and Sunday School every Sunday — you hated it and it was a real chore to bring you up as a Christian but some where along the line as the old saying goes, it took.
Soon after that the braces went on your teeth to correct the front ones from bucking out — your daddy couldn't see any point in it because he couldn't see the front teeth growing out. All he could see was beauty. The week the braces came off and the teeth were pretty + straight you went swimming and broke off the two front [teeth]. I don't know who was [sadder about] that me or your dentist.
Today you are "18" — [missing text] magic — now you can vote and get married — and enjoy all the priviledges of being an adult — But this priviledge comes the responsibility.

What can be the possible issue here ? There isn't any error on any other query. Why i am getting this error. I am stuck, any help would be much appreciated.
My DockerFile is:

COPY init-influxdb.sh /

RUN chmod 777 /init-influxdb.sh

RUN ln -snf /usr/share/zoneinfo/$TZ /etc/localtime && echo $TZ > /etc/timezone

A: I think the problem is that the DB is not yet started when you try to run the statement.
Checking the rest of the script you can see their solution to the problem:
    for i in {30..0}; do
        if $INFLUX_CMD "$INIT_QUERY" &> /dev/null; then
            break
        fi
        echo 'influxdb init process in progress...'
        sleep 1
    done

    if [ "$i" = 0 ]; then
        echo >&2 'influxdb init process failed.'
        exit 1
    fi

Scleral contact lenses are large-diameter lenses that provide clear and comfortable vision because the lenses do not actually touch the cornea. Instead, scleral lenses vault over the entire corneal surface, resting on the "white" portion of the eye known as the "sclera." The space between the back and front portions of the scleral lens is filled with unpreserved sterile saline solution, which means that the eye always remains in a liquid environment. Scleral lenses cover a larger portion of the sclera, whereas semi-scleral lenses cover a smaller area.
These larger lenses also are more stable than conventional gas permeable contact lenses, which move with each blink because they cover only a portion of the cornea. Moreover, scleral lenses do not fall out, bits of grit do not lodge behind them during wear, and they are surprisingly comfortable to wear when fitted properly.
Scleral lenses are typically manufactured with highly breathable, rigid gas permeable lens materials. Thus, even though the lenses cover the entire corneal surface, they allow plenty of oxygen to reach the front surface of the eye to maintain health and comfort.
Scleral contact lenses are large-diameter lenses that provide clear and comfortable vision for keratoconus patients because the lenses do not actually touch the cornea. Instead, scleral lenses vault over the entire corneal surface, resting on the "white" portion of the eye known as the "sclera." The space between the back and front portions of the scleral lens is filled with unpreserved sterile saline solution, which means that the eye always remains in a liquid environment. Scleral lenses cover a larger portion of the sclera, whereas semi-scleral lenses cover a smaller area.
Hybrid contact lenses, which were specifically designed to treat keratoconus, combine a rigid center that is highly oxygen-permeable with a soft "skirt" on the peripheral. These lenses were designed specifically for keratoconus, and the central gas permeable zone of the lens vaults over the cone-shaped cornea for increased comfort. Hybrid contact lenses provide the crisp optics of a gas permeable contact lens and wearing comfort that rivals that of soft lenses.
Contact lens manufacturers recently introduced custom soft contact lenses that are specifically designed to correct mild-to-moderate keratoconus. The design of the lenses is based on precise measurements of your eye. These lenses are often more comfortable to wear than gas permeable lenses.

Esri Partners with the Ocean Health Index Team to Release New Ocean Health Data
4 Dec 2018 - Online Hubs Will Enable Governments and Scientists to Make Targeted Improvements to Marine Environments.
4 Dec 2018 - Esri, the global leader in location intelligence, today announced a partnership with the team behind the Ocean Health Index (OHI), the first program to comprehensively assess ocean health. The OHI itself is a joint project of Conservation International and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis. Together, the organizations have integrated OHI scores as a data layer in Esri's ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World and will launch Ocean Health Hubs, online tools that enable ocean managers to explore data to better understand regional ocean health.
Dealing with ocean health data is complex. OHI assesses ocean health by looking at the social, ecological, and economic benefits that oceans provide to people. There are over 100 global datasets that power OHI's annual assessments, and they will serve as the foundation for Ocean Health Hubs. Developed with the help of ArcGIS Hub, Esri's citizen engagement platform, Ocean Health Hubs will display these global datasets with local data and allow faster progress on establishing ocean policies and setting priorities.
"Ocean Health Hubs will streamline data management, target setting, and communication into one tool that can be easily accessed and updated by multiple collaborators," said Eva Schemmel, OHI director and Conservation International science adviser. "Citizens, scientists, managers, nonprofits, and governmental agencies can use the hubs together, making engagement more efficient and effective."
Ocean Health Hubs can be used as the first step in regional OHI assessments or on their own to track ocean conservation investments and sustainable ocean management within a region. Esri's mapping and analytics software will bring this data to life, allowing users to visualize ocean health through Living Atlas and explore open-source datasets for a specific region through hubs.

The Nippon Foundation: Project to Map Ocean Floor by 2030 Now Operational
22 Feb 2018 - The Nippon Foundation Chairman Yohei Sasakawa announced at a press conference today that The Nippon Foundation – GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project is now operational.
22 Feb 2018 - Press Release: The Nippon Foundation Chairman Yohei Sasakawa announced at a press conference today that The Nippon Foundation – GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project is now operational. The Project will realize Mr. Sasakawa's vision of mapping the entire ocean floor by 2030. The Nippon Foundation has pledged US$2 million annually, and is calling for additional support from the global ocean community.
Mr. Sasakawa noted, "The Nippon Foundation alone cannot achieve the objectives of this ambitious project. We will need the support of diverse stakeholders, including maritime corporations and technical experts. It is crucial that the ocean community comes together to achieve this goal".
He was joined by leading ocean-mapping experts, who emphasized that understanding the bathymetry of the global ocean is imperative for improving maritime navigation, and also for enhancing our ability to predict climate change and monitor marine biodiversity and resources. A comprehensive map of the seafloor will assist global efforts to combat pollution, aid marine conservation, forecast tsunami, and better understand tides, wave action, and sediment transport.
Satinder Bindra, the project's recently appointed director, brings a wealth of experience, having previously worked for major international institutions involved in environmental initiatives and sustainable development. The project draws on the experience of a growing network of more than 28 institutions and organizations around the world. The project will operate in four Regional Centers, each with responsibility for a region of the world's ocean, with a Global Center based at the UK National Oceanography Center.

These families of missing Black people are frustrated with the lack of response to their cases

David Robinson has been in Arizona for the last three months searching for his 24-year-old son, Daniel Robinson, who went missing after leaving a work site in the desert in his Jeep Renegade on June 23.
Robinson, who lives in South Carolina, hired an independent investigator and assembled a volunteer search team when he says he felt the police weren't making progress in the investigation. He also says he failed to get the amount of media coverage he believed the case needed. The case was reported by the local media as early as July 9.
Robinson said he sympathizes with the family of Gabby Petito, whose remains were recovered Sunday after she disappeared while exploring parks in Wyoming prompting a highly publicized search.
Still, Robinson said it's "hurtful" to see a young White woman's case met with more urgency and national attention than his son, who is Black.
"You wish you lived in a world where everything was equal but it's really not equal," Robinson told CNN.
Robinson is among the Black and brown families whose loved ones remain missing and say they have struggled to get fair attention on their cases. Some say they have grown frustrated with watching the search for missing White women like Petito be in the spotlight, while police appear to allow their cases to go cold or classify their loved one as a "runaway."
The issue has for years prompted people of color to take matters into their own hands, holding rallies, launching independent probes and seeking help from community advocates and lawmakers to get their cases in the public eye.
Some experts say the nation faces "Missing White Women Syndrome," which is defined by the heavier media attention White women and girls receive when they go missing compared to anyone outside of those demographics, according to a study published by the Northwestern University School of Law in 2016. The study points out that missing Black people are less likely to garner media attention at the outset than other groups and when they do make the news and they receive a lower intensity of coverage.
Zach Sommers, a criminologist and author of the Northwestern study, told CNN that bias and systemic racism play a role in Missing White Women Syndrome – a term he said was coined by the late TV news anchor Gwen Ifill.
"As a culture we are readily willing to accept stories about White folks as victims as something we should care about," he said. "When we see a White person who has gone missing, we say that could be my daughter, neighbor or cousin or friend… and they identify with that person and are more likely to read the story than we would if it were a person of color."
And while the cases of missing White women are given more focus and urgency, people of color are disappearing at disproportionate rates. According to 2020 FBI data, Black people make up 35% of missing persons reports but only 13% of the US population. White people, meanwhile, make up 54% of missing persons reports and 76% of the US population.
A father has lost his faith in police
David Robinson, who described his son as an outspoken geologist who loves the outdoors and has a lot of friends, said he believes that if Daniel were White, police would be working harder to find him.
"It bothers me and it upsets me that my son being missing is not important, it's not urgent and hasn't gotten much attention," he said. "I've lost faith in the Buckeye police department."
Daniel Robinson and his father, David Robinson
Daniel's car was discovered by a rancher on July 19 about three miles away from the work site where he was last seen, Robinson said. The vehicle had suffered crash damage and a pile of his clothing and belongings was discovered nearby.
Buckeye police assistant chief Bob Sanders told CNN that his officers have "covered all of our bases" in the search for Daniel Robinson.
Sanders said the department has followed up on every lead, interviewed co-workers, friends and relatives, and reviewed all evidence. As of Wednesday, no foul play is suspected in Daniel Robinson's disappearance, Sanders said, but the investigation is ongoing.
"Daniel is a member of our community and we are committed to finding him," Sanders said. "We relate to him (David Robinson) as a father and we are trying to give him closure one way or the other."
'There has not been the drive to find Jelani'
Other Black families say they are also angered by how police have handled their cases. Some have gained more attention on social media in light of Petito's case.
On Thursday the body of missing graduate student Jelani Day was identified a month after he went missing.
The coroner of LaSalle County, Illinois, confirmed Day's identity through forensic dental identification and DNA testing and comparison, the office said in a news release shared by the Bloomington Police Department. The cause of death remains unknown, the release said, pending further investigation.
Day, a 25-year-old graduate student at Illinois State University whose mother said he aspired to become a speech pathologist, was reported missing on August 25 in Bloomington, Illinois.
Jelani Day
His mother Carmen Bolden Day has spoken out in recent days, pleading for answers and more help finding Jelani.
"The Bloomington Police Department, I have been in frequent contact with them," Day told HLN. "However, there has been no urgency. There has not been the drive to find Jelani."
A mother's plea to find daughter missing nearly 5 years
Toni Jacobs said her daughter Keeshae Jacobs has been missing since Sept. 26, 2016 when she left the family's apartment in Richmond, Virginia. Jacobs said Keeshae, now 26, said she was going to spend the night with a friend but never returned home the next day.
Jacobs said police initially suggested Keeshae was ignoring her mother's calls and likely wasn't missing. However, 14 months after Keeshae went missing, police said they suspected foul play was a factor in her disappearance.
Keeshae Jacobs
Jacobs said it's unfair that Keeshae, who was only a year younger than Gabby Petito when she vanished, did not receive the same intense search effort and publicity as Petito.
"My heart goes out to everybody that's missing, I don't want any parent to go through what I've gone through," Jacobs told CNN.
"But at the same time it does frustrate me because Keeshae didn't get that attention. What made the FBI think her case was more important than Keeshae's?"
'Cases are just not taken seriously'
The years long disparity prompted Derrica Wilson to launch Black and Missing Foundation, Inc. in 2008 to help raise awareness for missing people of color. Wilson, a former law enforcement officer, said too often police label missing Black people, including children, as runaways or suggest they were involved in criminal activity. And with most police agencies allocating minimal resources to missing persons units, people of color are more likely to fall through the cracks, Wilson said. Some of those same families have sought national and local news coverage to no avail, she said.
Wilson said her organization is hoping to combat the issue – which she insists is the result of systemic racism – by sharing and promoting the stories of Black and brown families with missing loved ones through the media.
"We look at it and we say 'why not us?'" Wilson said. "Our families, our communities are desperate to find their missing loved ones and sadly their cases are just not taken seriously."
Lawmakers have also made efforts to address the issue.
Earlier this year, Minnesota's state legislature passed a bill authored by State Rep. Ruth Richardson that would create a Missing and Murdered African American Women and Girls Taskforce.
Richardson said the group will be tasked with making recommendations for improving how the state handles cases of missing Black women and girls. She pointed to the story of 18-year-old Brittany Clardy who went missing in St. Paul in 2013 and police suggested to the family that she'd run away with her boyfriend. Clardy's family launched their own investigation and started to get leads, Richardson said. Clark's body was later found in the trunk of her car. Alberton Palmer was sentenced to 40 years in prison for her death.
Richardson said she wants to see police give these cases fairer treatment, figure out a trajectory for the stories to make the news and create a state level office for missing and murdered Black women and girls.
"What we tend to see is when Black women and girls go missing, they are much more likely to be identified as runaways and then you don't get the same level of law enforcement engagement, support and you don't get Amber Alerts," Richardson said. "So there are lots of things within our systems that have been set up in ways that are really failing these families and these Black women and girls when they go missing."

Kati Piri (* 8. April 1979 in Celldömölk, Ungarn) ist eine niederländische Politikerin der Partij van de Arbeid.

Leben
Piri ist seit 2014 Abgeordnete im Europäischen Parlament in einer sozialdemokratischen Fraktion. Dort ist sie Mitglied im Ausschuss für auswärtige Angelegenheiten, Menschenrechte, Gemeinsame Sicherheit und Verteidigungspolitik, ferner ist sie in der Delegation im Ausschuss für parlamentarische Kooperation EU-Ukraine und in der Delegation in der Parlamentarischen Versammlung EURO-NEST.

Die türkische Regierung war im November 2016 nicht bereit, Piri in ihrer Funktion als Türkei-Berichterstatterin des EU-Ausschusses zu empfangen. Der Präsident des Parlaments, Martin Schulz, hatte damals eine Delegation schicken wollen, um zwischen EU und der Türkei Gespräche zu führen. Der türkische EU-Minister hatte jedoch Schulz mitgeteilt, dass Piri unwillkommen ist. Deshalb hatte Schulz die Reise ganz abgesagt. Zur Delegation hätte auch Elmar Brok gehören sollen, der ein Vorsitzender des Auswärtigen Ausschusses war.

2017 stimmten die EU-Abgeordneten mehrheitlich für eine Suspendierung der Verhandlungen mit der Erdoğan-Regierung bei den Beitrittsverhandlungen der Türkei mit der Europäischen Union, aber nicht für einen endgültigen Abbruch, meint Piri.

Meint Merkel Suspendierung? Oder will sie der türkischen Bevölkerung die ganze Perspektive für eine Mitgliedschaft wegnehmen? Das ist nicht etwas, dem ich zustimmen kann. Piri im September 2017

Am 30. März 2021 schied sie aus dem Europäischen Parlament aus. Ihr folgte Thijs Reuten nach.

Maid Singapore | Maid News | My Kids Think I am Their Maid!
Ever feel as if you are running around like a chicken with your head cut off?
Are there way too many things on your to-do list every day?
Are you constantly fighting at keeping your house picked up and orderly?
Are they doing their fair share???
Or are you doing it for them?
Think about that. Are your children doing their fair share around the home, or are you doing their share for them? As a Professional Organizer I run across a lot of busy families where the kids are definitely NOT doing their fair share around the house.
Usually a busy mom will hire me to help them organize their home and also to help them organize their time. They find that their daily schedules are jam packed and not everything is getting done. They want my help.
The first thing I do, when I find out they have children, is ask them what their kids do around the house. Usually the kids are doing nothing more than setting the table for dinner. Sometimes they will also be responsible for clearing the table and perhaps emptying the trash each evening.
WHAT? Are you kidding me? That is it? Why on earth is that all your kids are doing? Your kids need to be pulling their weight around the house. If your children are responsible for their own things, as well as participating in the family cleaning now and then Mom wouldn??t be so frazzled and behind.
Here is a quick break down of what your children should be expected to do at each age stage of their lives. Do NOT be afraid to make this list work in your home. You will be very glad you did.
1. Even at the young age of 2 your children should be expected to clean up after themselves, especially when they are done with one activity, before they go on to the next. Simply sit there with them and point at only one object at a time and direct them where to put it. Kids this age even think this is fun.
Do this every single night before they crawl into bed as well, to not only make sure their room is clean for them in the morning, but also to help them make it a habit that they can take with them into adulthood.
2. Children should be helping prepare the meals, set the table, clear the table and wash the dishes as soon as they are tall enough to handle each task. Our children need to learn that it is responsibility of everyone in the house to handle the meal details. Mom should not be doing all of the work herself if there are children in the home that are over the age of 3.
3. As soon as your child is tall enough to reach into the bottom of the washer teach them to do their own laundry. When my children were 9 years old I put a double bin laundry basket in each of their rooms. One side was for lights and one side was for darks. I taught them how to use the washer and the dryer, as well as how to fold their laundry and where to put it away correctly.
Then simply remind them when it is laundry time. You will probably have to remind them when the laundry buzzes as well. Be sure to check their drawers often to make sure they are actually doing it correctly.
I haven not done the laundry of my children since they were each 9. Talk about freeing up my time.
4. Teach your children to clean the entire house. Now, I am not saying make your child your maid. You don not like to be hers; she would not like to be yours. However, children need to know how to clean the house for many reasons.
First of all, the fact that your 10 year old now knows what is entailed with cleaning a bathroom, that child is going to be less likely to mess the room up so fast now.
Second of all, there are going to be times when you need the extra help. Perhaps you have a party planned, but you are running out of time. Set those kids loose on the house. If you have trained them well, then they will do a fine job.
Third of all, your children need to be able to keep house for when they are adults and move out on their own. You would be surprised by how many of my clients do NOT know how to clean the bathroom properly because their Mothers always did it for them.
5. Be sure to make your children responsible for their own things. You should not be picking up their shoes, backpacks, toys, videos, games etc. If they were old enough to get the item out and use it then they are very capable of cleaning it up and returning it to its correct home.
Call the kids in from playing outside. Pull them off the video games. You may think it is quicker and easier to just pick the stuff up yourself, but basically what you are teaching your children is that you are indeed their maid. Make them clean up after themselves every time.
You have to remember that if you act like the maid of your children then they will definitely treat you like one. Your job as a parent is NOT to be their maid. Your job is to teach your child how to be a healthy active member of our society by the time you unleash them into our world. They need to know how to clean up after themselves. They need to know how to cook and how to organize their spaces. They need to realize that no one is here to wait on them or to clean up after them, not even Mom.
By teaching your children to be responsible for their own messes, as well as teaching them how to be an active part of a functioning family unit you are teaching them how to survive in our world. You are teaching them important things that they will need to know how to do when they move out.
Best of all, you will no longer feel like their maid. Yes, you will need to be their supervisor, but a supervisor has a lot less work to do than a personal maid.
So, teach your children how to be neat and tidy. Teach them to be responsible for themselves. Then simply supervise their efforts. And don not feel bad if you have to make them redo something. Even if you have to make them redo it over and over and over again. That is how they are going to learn??by doing it over until they have learned to do it right the first time.

Q: How does Chrome OS handle playing video & audio files off of a network drive, specifically Drobo So right now my main home setup is:

*

*A Windows PC that is my main workstation.

*A Mac Mini hooked up to my TV

*A Drobo unit used to share media between the two, normal process is: download using Windows PC, watch on big TV using Mac Mini while files are stored on the Drobo to make it easy

I read yesterday about the new Chromebox from Google which is essentially the form factor of a Mac Mini but running Chrome OS rather than Mac OS X.
I kind of want to try it out and the price is right but my one concern is being able to browse my Drobo drive and play videos and music off of it using the Chromebox.
Does anyone have any experience with Chrome OS + a network drive, specifically Chrome OS + Drobo

A: As long as your network drive got an option to stream media over http it will work nicely on chromeOS. In the new chromebook (as in the old one) you get a 'native' media player that can  play a variety of audio and video file types: MP3, Ogg Vorbis, AIF, WAV, and MP4 videos.
Btw, you can checkout 'hacks' like this one: http://www.chromeoslounge.com/tutorials/1199-how-stream-video-your-chromeos-windows.html
but before you do that, I would check if the network drive can be connected over the network :)

Need Help Solving Or Finding The Solution To The Following Darboux System Of Nonlinear Equations.
I am working on a personal math project of mine and in order for me to continue I need to know the solution to this following system of nonlinear equations I am attaching as a photo.
This equation is referenced in this paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/9409025.pdf and the solution is further referenced in F. J. Bureau, Sur des systemes diff´erentiels du troisieme ordre et les ´equations diff´erentielles associ´ees, Bulletin de la Classe des Sciences LXXIII (1987) 335–353. My native language is Japanese and I can't read a word of french to save my life. In addition I can't even find this book or paper. I looked using two college libraries and Google Scholars. I would rather not need to duplicate effort and re derive the solution of these equations in terms of Hermite modular elliptic functions. If anyone who has worked with these equations before has reference with an English solution that would be nice. Or if anyone knows where I can find the french reference that would help also.
If non can be found then I would appreciate any hints on how to re derive the solution. My project did not intend to run into such formidable looking differential equation, it is a bit outside of my specialty of geometry.
Any guidance will be appreciated thanks!
