First oral vaccines to fight cholera outbreak arrive in Haiti: UN
A UN spokesman said that almost 1.2 million doses of oral vaccines to fight a cholera outbreak in Haiti have arrived in Port-au-Prince.
"The vaccination campaign is expected to start on Sunday," said Stephane Dujarric, the chief spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday, citing the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). "The first people to receive the vaccine will be located in some of the most vulnerable neighborhoods of the capital as well as in the commune of Mirebalais, in the North."
He said that the number of suspected cases across the country increased by almost 10 percent over the past week.
"There are over 14,000 suspected cases as of two days ago," the spokesman said. "Port-au-Prince is still the most impacted area but confirmed cases are, unfortunately, growing in other places."
Dujarric said that the United Nations continues to support the government-led fight against the disease.
He said PAHO has worked with national and international partners to establish 70 cholera treatment centers in impacted communities. Rapid response teams are also being set up in all 10 departments of Haiti to follow up on alerts and address water, sanitation and hygiene issues.
Dujarric said the World Health Organization recommends using the oral vaccine, in combination with other measures, particularly water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions, to prevent the spread of cholera.
He said the UN Children's Fund supports activities to inform communities about prevention measures.

The Power of Habits
Advanced Personalities
We talked about the basic personality dimensions, the big five. Now we're going to dig a little bit deeper and talk about some other personality dimensions. Now, you know, we could do a whole semester on this, we could talk about just dimension after dimension and how all these things interact and how they change. But, you know, I don't have that I have I have another hour and change here, we're gonna talk about personality, so I wanted to pick a few other personality dimensions that are really important for your life, for, for the work that you do for your ability to influence your habits, and and in particular some of those habits that are important both for your ability to really be smart and creative in the world and for your ability, teo, to be a leader in the world because I think that, you know, that's a lot of what we want to do is to know what our influence khun b in the world and our personality has an effect on that, okay? So we're gonna talk about that, and we are going to ...
pick back up on that question that we had before about some of the the spectra of personality characteristics that influence our ability to do particular kinds of things in our environment, okay? So there are a couple of worksheets here, and I'm just gonna, you know, I'm gonna give everyone a chance to take a quick look at him will take one question if we've got one that was hanging over, but if you go to page seventeen in the work sheet, there are in the materials again, you know, make sure you've got that. Pdf already. Um then, um there's a there's a a couple of personality inventories that are labeled n f c, which is not national football conference, but instead one that's actually need for cognition and another that's called need for closure. And if you just I don't want you to fill these out, that's why we're only gonna take one section you fill them out at your leisure, but what I want you to do? I know the people here did filled amount, but what I want you to do is to look over the questions and get a feel for what it is that we're asking the two nfc worksheets, the first one that starts on page seventeen and the second one that starts on page twenty one, and while you guys were looking, those over real quick will answer one question and I'm come back to this way had a lot of questions about personality tests, and I know that you mentioned that the nbt I was not the solution for a lot of people out there. This question comes from schumi, and they're asking about what other sorts of assessments do you recommend, especially for the workplace, trying to side if you're a good fit with a company with co workers with the boss now something like the strengths finders test where the disk test came up, any any recommendations for that? Sure so so so the nbt eyes one I say avoid aa lot of these other inventory, they're actually pretty good, so strength finders is a good inventory, that disk is also pretty good. Ah lot of for strength finders. What I would say is the issue with that is not so much the validity that test, I think it's a good test, the question is, how do you use it? So what strength finders is doing is it's asking you a lot of questions and trying to get a sense of what are your strengths, where, what elements of the work place or the places you're most likely to shine? And and really, once you discover I'm good at this, so I'm not so good at this? What does that mean for you? And I think that in many ways you have to recognize that almost everything in your life is a skill that can be acquired rather than a talent that you have or don't have. And so the first thing to recognize that is that even when there are things that you are weak at, those air still things that you could choose to become better out by putting in effort, okay? One of the things I like to say is that for almost everything in the world, if you were to put effort into it, you can be better at it than almost anyone you know, where talent matters and talent does matter but where talent matters is if your goal is to be the best in the world at something, right? So no matter how much I practice sprinting, hussein bolt is going to be better at it than I am he's got more talent, but if I practice sprinting a lot, I could probably be better than almost anyone I know certainly true with the saxophone, right? I am better than most other people I know in in playing the saxophone, but there are a lot of people who are, you know, great musicians with a lot of talent and a lot more time that they've spent on it they're much better than I am, so the thing with strength finders is identify where your strengths lie but recognize that that doesn't mean that you should avoid those things that you're currently week on but ask yourself instead, is this something that I want to spend the time teo to master and the answer that could be yes or no, that really depends on where you see yourself fitting within an organization all right, so that's given everybody enough time to take a look at some of those nfc worksheets and now I want to talk about these two dimensions. Um the first is one that's called need for cognition um need for cognition is sort of what it sounds like there is an individual difference between people in how much they like to think about stuff, okay, some people love to think about things, right? They they watched documentary movies, then they and then they follow up on that by reading a long form article in a magazine like the new yorker, the atlantic monthly uh, and then they take out a book on the library and then they won't have a whole discussion, and then they email somebody to find out more about it. They just dig into things, and then there are people in this world who just don't like to think, I mean, it just it's not that they can't think it's not that they're incapable of it, they just don't enjoy it, they don't needed I mean think about things you need to do in your life some people need to think and some people just they don't need to think you tell them something like oh yeah okay cool you know, you know they're perfectly content with the time magazine version of things you know not to take anything away from time but it doesn't doesn't necessarily bring that depth to it right? Chances are you're creative live watchers probably a little higher in need for cognition than the average population the average populations like yeah habits I probably have some um and so need for cognition is really one of these dimensions that that helps us to understand something about the way they we interact with the world and so if you are the sort of person who really likes to think I mean to return to one of the questions we had earlier what sorts of people are creative you can't be creative it turns out if you don't know anything right? I mean a lot of people love to think that you know, if you're too much of an expert somehow that expertise constrains you in ways that that will limit your ability to be creative I've got to tell you think about music for example coltrane was an expert you know and he was really creative you know great artists are incredibly creative you know picasso again you know it's seventy five years on task right? And so yeah, you know, expertise does not necessarily constraint creativity and this is true not just in the arts it's also true in in innovation, right? If you look at the inventors of lots of things, those inventors tend to know a lot about a lot of things, and tomorrow we're going to talk quite a bit about some of the the knowledge factors that help people to become more innovative and toe relief think mohr effectively about things in the world, but one of the characteristics is that people who are really creative no a lot and you can't know a lot if you're not willing to think it's just it's a crucial part of of that ability to acquire knowledge. So so one of the things that we care about is this idea of how much do you like to think about things? Another element that's really important is something that's called need for closure need for closure is the second of these nfc scales. The need for closure is this idea that, uh, some people really need to be done with stuff they need to finish things and some people really they they wanna hang back and really, you know, get us much information is possible delayed decisions as long as they can, so I have three kids they have some extreme personality characteristics one of my kid is as low in need for closure is it's possible to get I live in austin, texas? We have a great ice cream shop in austin called amy's ice cream it's one of these gourmet ice cream places and and they always have thirty flavors up on the board and bringing this kid to amy's ice cream is the most excruciating experience because he just stands there going, uh, that one and that one and that wait that one and and it's, just if we could be there for, like, forty minutes with line is building up up the street and he doesn't want to pick one. We actually did develop a little game with him after a while when he was younger, we would get him to get it down to two flavors and hell, he didn't want both he wanted one or the other and so we get it down to two and then we flip a coin and we'd say it if it's heads you get this one if it's tails you get that one um then we flipped the coin and if he was happy with the way the coin came out, then we stuck with it if he was unhappy than we gave him the other one, so we had to get him past the decision point okay, but need for closure is really all about how much do you like to get done with stuff? And if you think about organizations than organizations also sometimes different there in their degree of need for closure, I was talking with a colleague at one point who had a planning group that had been working on a project for ten years. They were they were planning a particular project for ten years, and as he was telling me this story, I was thinking to myself, you know what, guys, you need a few people in this group a little bit higher and need for closure because I got to tell you, if you talk about a project for ten years, there's just something wrong there, you're spending a little bit too much time thinking about it not I mean, not enough time doing now, where does this need for closure to mention come from? It comes from the fact that we have two distinct motivational orientations on the world. You could think of those motivation orientations as a doing mindset and is a thinking mindset notice I'm even sort of stepping forward with one and stepping back from the other, and we do that sort of thing both physically and mentally right think about, you know, everywhere and so we can get ourselves into that doing mindset sometime and say, I got to just get something done right when when a deadline approaches a lot of times you get into that doing mind said let's do it let's get moving right and then there are other times where we think you know what let's let's you know let's take a step back from this and think about it need for closure reflects as a personality characteristic do I tend to live in the doing mindset or two I tend to live in the thinking mind set okay and that that's the personality characteristic and then the question is to what degree can you influence situations sometimes to create the tendency for people to do things when they tend to want to think so for example if you buy a car right car sales people their hole um mode of operation is all about trying to create a doing mindset in someone who came in to think right so car dealers and want you to test drive a car because it's doing something they want youto talk through the financing with them because you're doing something what they really are trying to do is to promote the mindset of taking action rather than to just say you know take your time browse around think about it you know but don't necessarily take action right and that's you know so so so so we can create situations that promote thinking or doing and as a personality characteristics we have that propensity ourselves okay to either be thinking we're doing and every organization that people may work for has needs people with both of those characteristics organizations will fail if everyone's doing and no one's willing to take a step back and think through the implications of that and organizations will deeply fail if all they do is think because then they miss opportunities to actually engage with things all right so you really wanna have both of those if we think about brains storming for example you want to be careful that the leader of your brain storming group is not someone very high and need for closure the hind need for closure people they hear the first good idea in there like done okay, we got it let's move on okay um so you want to make sure that you've got that mix of people when you get a group of people together okay? So there's a couple of dimensions that are important let's talk about another one the next the next scale that we have in your worksheet if you've got that worksheet is a scale for narcissism it's on page twenty seven of the book it's labeled n p I and um and so we're gonna we're gonna get to that one of seconds off here if you haven't a chance to look at that quiz yet please take a look at that and you guys have any questions on anything so far yeah thinking that you talk about in the um need for kong cognition and the thinking that you talk about in the need for closure are those the same it doesn't they seems like there's a little bit of different types of thinking, right? So that's a great question um these two scales are related to each other, and if you look at the scores on them across people, they are correlated with each other because people who are high and need for cognition tend to live in that thinking space a little bit more than in the doing space, okay, but they're different in the sense that the need for cognition people are living that thinking space not because they're allergic to doing but because they crave complexity, they crave the nuance they really want to understand things. There are some people who are high and need for closure because of that our sorry lo and need for closure because of that that is they live in that thinking mindset because they love to think but there are some people who are low and need for closure because they fear making a bad decision, right? So so my son in the ice cream store it's not that he won too deeply understand each ice cream flavor it's that he's worried that if he makes one decision it will not have been the right one and he will regret not having taken the other one right and that can also put people into that thinking mindset rather than doing mind set which is why these two dimensions are identical to each other all right, so if you had a chance now to look at this next scale this is the the n p I which is one of the scientific scales that's used to measure narcissism narcissism is a personality dimension where if you are high in it I don't have a huge amount nice to say I'm sorry narcissists are like human energy vampires okay, what narcissists do is narcissus basically build up their self esteem and their self image from the adulation of others okay, so what they're doing is so they tend to be somewhat high and extra version but not all extroverts are narcissists okay? Some some some people are extroverts just because they like to be involved in the center of attention but extra version is a piece of narcissism but narcissists want the adulation they want people to really you know think that they're brilliant to think they're amazing to think that their ideas air great they their self esteem is built up by other people and this you know, sometimes that's okay, right? That is it narcissists aren't always poisonous in organisations, particularly if they are really great and pee and they're just they're just sort of basking in the reflected glory that they get from other people the problem is that narcissists in organizations can also structure their world to make sure that they get lots of credit for things whether they deserve it or not. So if you have a narcissistic manager for example, a good manager really make sure that everyone who's working for them gets credit for their for their contributions to the organization because part of what makes you a great manager is your ability to nurture the careers of the people working for you, right? I mean ahs a phd advisor for example I have students who worked with me and part of people's evaluation of whether I've been a good advisors do my students go on and get good jobs? You know, are they recognized for their growing skill as scientists? If I were a narcissist, then I would want to take credit for all of my students achievements and so I would be make sure that I was the first author on all of the papers that we wrote and I would give all the talks and I would make sure that I got all of the credit right that's where narcissism could take its dark side in organizations is that the narcissist is not spreading the credit around all right? They're not really making sure that other people are getting credit for the great contributions that they've made because the problem with but with narcissism is that that this this energy becomes a zero sum game I succeed to the extent that that in that in from that that this energy flows in word to me any time someone else takes the spotlight, that diminishes my own self esteem, and so I can't win unless you lose, okay, if you win, I'm losing today and not becomes a real problem. So when and the interesting thing is that a lot of times actually a competent narcissist, that is a narcissist who's really good at their job? Well, actually rise up within an organization early on, because they are people who let everyone else know about their accomplishments. They will, they will, you know, justifiably take credit for good things that they've done, and so they, you know, these are, you know, people who because they're extroverted and enjoy that spotlight of attention. Khun b very engaging in charming and public situations, and so they can be, you know, the golden child early on in there in their career, but as they move on, then it becomes clear that they're having an negative influence on the organization because they're taking the lines share of the credit for everything that's happening, and they're making sure that that other people are not really getting the fulfillment that they need out of their job, and so so what does this mean? Well, first of all, if you look through that scale and discover that you are yourself a narcissist, there is hope for you on I'm not saying there's like a twelve step support group for you, but it does mean that you have to recognize that you're going to say that you've developed a habit and that your habit is the belief that that when you succeed, the on ly way for you to succeed is for other people to be billed beneath you in this and a strategy that could be very effective for people who have that tendency is essentially to define yourself more broadly. So think about this your self esteem is being driven by the accolades of other people now itself is defined as me as an individual, then then I have to win when you lose. But let's, imagine I defined self as my organization if I'm a match, if I'm managing a group of people, lets imagine that myself is my group. Now every time somebody in my group gets an accolade from somebody else, I can claim credit for that because that becomes part of my extended self, and so we are a little bit flexible in our ability to define who we are, so just to find it a little bit more broadly. And that that allows it's still not the healthiest thing in the world. Maybe, but at least then you are allowing everyone else around you tohave off a pleasant, fulfilling and satisfying work. And, um, if you're working for a narcissist, um, good luck, it's hard it's, very hard. And, you know, and trying to help other people within the organs organization to recognize that that that the work environment has gotten unpleasant because people are really working hard and not necessarily getting the credit that they need or deserve from that that's, something that I think is important for people to do to try and help themselves out in that situation. So narcissism. One of those dimensions that I don't have a tremendous amount nice to say about yes. In terms of kind of reading our individual tests eyes it just anything greater than zero is like, the greater the worst. How can we? Yeah, I would say that s o so the theme of north look, all of us have some of these things to some degree. And and again, almost all of these scales are fairly well behaved, meaning that the bulk of people are going to fall somewhere in the middle, you know, and it's it's healthy. Teo, to enjoy some amount of attention from other people it's and it's it's healthy to enjoy some amount of time in the spotlight. It's healthy to believe that you have some degree of influence on the people around you, right? The question is, are you extreme on that and not? And most people aren't going to be extreme, because, again, you're going to get this pretty nice looking distribution. And so what I would say is, you know, if you find yourself at the very tippy top of the scale in this scale, then you should look at yourself and think, you know, maybe I'm a little bit, you know, at the end of this, and this is something I should pay attention to if you find yourself in the middle, you know, that's great it's not like just because being a true narcissist is a problem doesn't mean that the best place to be is a sfar from narcissism is you can get it is it is healthy to want to get credit for things you've done, it is healthy to want to feel like you've had an effect on the people around you, it's healthy teo to believe that when you tell a story to other people that that they're enjoying that story, right, it's just that if if you come to believe that you are in fact the exact geographic center of the universe and everything comes to you you know that that's where it begins to become a problem, any other questions let's see now I just want to share a good comment about you mentioned people working for narcissus working with narcissist this comes from valerie and she says I worked under no less than three narcissists they blamed everyone else for failures and took credit for all the accomplishment as a please like me person I initially tried to feed their egos, but when I stopped they turned on me. How can we best handle narcissist without losing our own self esteem right? And hopefully we've we've talked a little bit about that, but it is tough, it is tough and you and I think that that that you know you raised this point that those people who I mean thiss common and raised a very good point, which is if you are the sort of person who is very agreeable, wants to please other people you can really get sucked into the orbit of the narcissist, and it is important to recognize that even though generally speaking you want people to like you that it's okay actually to stand up to the narcissist and teo and to really try and exert some amount of individuality because they're not going to like it right, but hopefully hopefully within the organization enough people will begin to recognize what's going on that um that you'll get a little bit more oversight within within the group on guy if you have ah very, very low narcissism is that are you started like not like a doormat, but is that sort of something that you need to be thinking about right? So the if you're very very low in it than what you then really that reflects often it reflects ah fairly high degree of introversion write that in and we talked about this a little bit earlier you know that you really don't necessarily like that, you know, people to be paying attention to you is that a problem depends on what you do for a living, right? Um so one of the things we're gonna talk about it a little bit is that that for example, one of the profiles for people who are really effective managers is that really effective managers need to have a least a moderate degree of extra version because a manager needs to be able to bring attention to the accomplishments of their group, right? If you work for a big organization and you're managing a group of people you want everyone else in the organization and know what great things are being done by your group, then if you hang back at the edge of meetings of people atyour managerial level nobody finds out what great things were being done, and it doesn't help you. And it doesn't help the people working for you. So if you find yourself in that kind of role and you're scoring really low on that narcissism index, it's, probably because you're, you're not the sort of person who's gonna want to take that step into the spotlight and tell people what great things are going on in your group and that's, the place where you might want to develop some strategies for making sure you're bringing attention to those kinds of accomplishment. All right, so I was narcissism. You know. We're gonna pick a pick another one here and again, we'll take another question in a second, while some people who have the pdf or downloading the pdf as we speak um have a chance to look at one of the other scales this is the risk tolerance scale and this is an interesting one is well, I want you to read this over you'll notice that there are letters after the different questions and I left those letters on there if you normally took the scale, you wouldn't get these letters and I left thumb on there because they refer to different kinds of risks and I want you to see what sort of risks air out there so just take a quick look this is on page twenty nine of the booklet take a quick look at some of those questions we'll uh we'll answer one more and while you're doing that on dh will come back right now. This one comes from the joy project, and they say, what is the relationship between narcissism and habits and goal setting? Okay, so the relation between narcissism and habits and gold setting well, you know, a narcissist has a particular set of habits that they're likely to have developed because they really again wantto wantto angle themselves to be in situations in which they can be recognized for the good things that they've done and a cz one of the questions pointing out earlier we also get a tendency for people to be blamed for the failures that they go on when so other people are going to get blamed for the failures. So these air habits actually, that narcissists have gotten into a narcissist, you know, can engage in the normal processes of of trying to set goals and habits. But the big problem is if your habit is to externalize the the sources of failure. So we talked yesterday a little bit about the importance of failing and that failing is a learning experience and not so failure shouldn't be punished. The problem is, if you're a narcissist and you fail at something, you come to believe that that failure is a bad reflection on you as a person, and so you really want to avoid that bad reflection. So what do you do? You cast blame on others or other things for the for your failure. So you say it wasn't my fault, you know, she didn't do our job and the economy tanked and, you know, and I was tired that, you know, it's all of these external situations that were the cause of your failure, and so when you externalize all of that, you don't necessarily take responsibility for your role in the failure, and that makes it difficult for you, too, to make corrections to do things better the next time. So one of the places where narcissism khun get in the way of good habit formation and behavior change is that if you're not learning enough from failure, then you're likely to keep repeating a certain number of mistakes. So so that's. One of the places where I think narcissism could get in the way.

Things with Luma Optics (a Sebastopol Fiber Optic company) have been going EXCELLENT! We have been working in-house all summer building a 54 page product booklet, new business cards, a two page flyer, new website slides, and 6 new sweet postcards to be sent out to businesses looking for a good deal on fiber optic transceivers. Also have spent a large chunk of time redesigning and working on the website (http://lumaoptics.net). Can't wait to see all the things printed, will follow up with some images of all of the printed material as soon as we can.

Q: How to detect if cookie is set in Javascript ? I have set a session in PHP, which is creating a cookie: PHPSESSID...
I can detect this in Chrome & Opera by using document.cookie. However in Forefox, document.cookie also returns cookies set on the page by other domains, e.g. Google Analytics.
In PHP I am setting the sessions like:
session_start();
$_SESSION['source'] = &$ref['source'];
$_SESSION['term'] = &$ref['term'];
session_write_close();

I need to be able to detect if this session is set in Javascript, by locating the cookie. What is the best way to go about this?
At the moment I am just using:
document.cookie.indexOf( 'PHPSESSID' )

which seems like a bit of a botch.

A: Use this Jquery plugin, it's so cool.
https://github.com/carhartl/jquery-cookie
You can use it like this way:
if($.cookie('PHPSESSID') != undefined){
 //PHPSESSID exists
}

A: The document.cookie property will return all the cookies. While your indexOf will work, it will break if your cookies actual data contains 'PHPSESSID'. It will also match the following cookie 'MYPHPSESSIDIDIT', as it contains your cookie name.
You could parse the cookies with the following function (not tested):
function getCookieValue(name)
{
    // find cookie entry in middle?
    var s=document.cookie,
        c=s.indexOf("; "+name+"=");

    if(c==-1)
    {
        // no, is it at the start?
        c=s.indexOf(name+"=");
        if(c!=0) return null;
    }

    // get length of value
    var l=c+name.length+1,
        e=s.indexOf(";",l);

    // is it at the end?
    if(e==-1) e-s.length;

    // cut out the value
    return s.substring(l,e);
}

Hope this helps

Are wool shirts as good as synthetics?
I was recently in New Zealand and purchased some Merino wool (Icebreaker brand) shirts and tights. They seem to have the se properties as polypro but are more windproof and don't smell after hard work. Can you purchase this azing stuff in the U.S.? What is your take on it? Nick Kelly Omaha, Nebraska
A: Merino wool is indeed lovely stuff. And I bet there's a lot of it available in New Zealand —- after all that's wool country. Overall, wool has similar properties to good synthetics, and when I started outdoor stuff, lo these many years ago, wool filled the same clothing niche as synthetics do today: It was the stuff you packed that could keep you warm when wet.
Modern wool clothing is lighter, softer, less itchy than what was available 20 years ago. It's also very durable. The smell bit I'm not sure about. Certainly, some synthetics bond to smell molecules (I'm not kidding!) making it very difficult to wash out body odors. But those tend to be older synthetics — my silkweight Patagonia T-shirt has been sweated through dozens of times, and is fresh as daisy after a good wash, just like Yours Truly. The big downside to wool remains the fact that once it's wet, it stays wet for a very long period of time, adding weight to your load.
In the U.S., the company that has carved out a niche for itself with wool clothing is Ibex (www.ibexwear.com). That company's Norse Crew is a Merino shirt in a long-sleeve T design that's probably a lot like Icebreaker's Superfine clothing range. The Norse Crew is $72 —- so cost is an issue versus a decent midweight synthetic such as Marmot's midweight T, which is $45. But it's fine clothing, and probably should get more attention.

care programs. It is the first time that federal funding has been specifically allocated for school-based health centers, although the centers have been eligible to apply for other federal health-care grants.
The money will help provide more solid financial footing for school-based health centers, which rely on a mix of grants and government funds. Even though the Affordable Care Act funding is geared toward construction and equipment, it will free up other funds to hire new staff, says Ronald S. Palomares, PhD, assistant executive director of APA's Practice Directorate.
"It has a tremendous impact, on school-based health centers and for children, to break down barriers to access for health care," says Palomares, who previously worked in school-based health centers in Dallas.
Nearly 2,000 school-based health centers operate nationwide, with 75 percent employing a mental health provider, according to the National Assembly on School-Based Health Care. The centers serve approximately 2 million students, and mental health counseling is the leading cause for visits by students, according to several surveys. The centers typically provide primary and mental health care, substance abuse counseling, case management and health education.
Some clinics also offer dental exams and pregnancy prevention programs, and they often are operated as a partnership between a school district and a local community health organization.
Psychologists in school-based health centers provide counseling for students with mental health problems, such as depression or anxiety. They also address behavioral issues related to treatment plans or lifestyle choices that affect chronic conditions, including asthma, diabetes and obesity. Psychologists also may lead group sessions on pregnancy prevention or substance abuse, and they work with school psychologists and teachers to address issues that may arise in the classroom because of a child's mental illness or learning disability.
Licensed psychologists who work in school-based health centers don't need to be credentialed as school psychologists as long as they have relevant education, training or experience working with children and adolescents, Palomares says. A psychologist also could enlist the help of a more experienced colleague as a mentor at a school-based health center.
School psychologists who work for local school districts may perform some of the same services as health center psychologists, such as leading group sessions, but their main focus is academics, primarily evaluating students with learning or developmental disabilities and providing services based on a student's individual education plan as mandated under federal law, Palomares says.
The services at school-based health centers often are free to students, thanks to grant funding, private insurance or Medicaid. As a result, they offer a critical resource for low-income students to access mental health care, Alfonso says.
Research has shown that school-based health centers can help reduce absenteeism and costly emergency room visits.
One study showed that inner-city students were 21 times more likely to make mental health-related visits to school-based health centers than to facilities outside their schools (Journal of Adolescent Health, 2003). Another study found that students served by health centers had fewer discipline problems, course failures and school absences (Journal of School Health, 2000).
Health centers inside schools also can save tax dollars, according to a study by University of Cincinnati researchers (American Journal of Public Health, 2010). The study analyzed Medicaid reimbursement costs for more than 5,000 students in seven schools with health centers and six schools without in the Cincinnati area. The estimated savings in the schools with health centers totaled more than $1.35 million over three years, or approximately $35 per student per year, the study found.
By serving students in schools, health centers also eliminate transportation costs for parents along with the time and wages they might lose if they had to take their children to health-care appointments outside school, Palomares says. Students also may refer their friends if they notice problems, which increases the reach of the health center as the staff becomes part of the school community, he says.
In Snow Hill, N.C., that sense of school community led psychologists and doctoral students from nearby East Carolina University to help students and teachers when a tornado ripped through the small town in 2011, destroying many homes along with the middle school.
"We were out in the parking lot while the teachers were cleaning out their classrooms," says Jeannie Golden, PhD, an associate professor of psychology at East Carolina University.
"Some of them were bursting into tears. We did on-the-spot crisis counseling." Golden supervises doctoral students who specialize in pediatric school psychology and provide mental health counseling at two local middle schools and Greene Central High School in Snow Hill. Located in a trailer on the high school grounds, the health center employs a nurse practitioner and offers a pregnancy prevention program in addition to primary and mental health care. The doctoral students receive clinical experience and firsthand exposure to the challenges faced by many of the 850 high school students, including poverty, domestic violence, substance abuse and teen pregnancy.
One in four children in Greene County lives below the national poverty level, and 71 percent of children qualify for free or reduced-price school meals, according to county statistics.


Over in Morocco, there's a new dish on the menu — the Harissa Chicken Roll! I loved this when I tried it (very glad the recipe is in the 2011 Epcot Food and Wine Festival cookbook — get yours at DisneyStore.com). It's flavorful and smells absolutely delicious.
And don't forget to try the Mimosa if you're visiting when the booth first opens! The perfect morning drink!
You can see more pictures, the full menu, and prices on our Morocco Booth Page!
Skipped the Morocco booth this year, but have to agree that the Argentina booth was once again tasty!
So sad on all the delicious foods I missed out on while I was there 2 weeks ago. But you can only eat so much in a day, right?
I had the Kefta pocket last year, loved it. I have the Grilled Beef Skewer with Chimichurri Sauce and Boniato Purée on my list to try this year.

Larry writes, "I have a couple of DVD recorders that I have purchased, and recording TV shows is no problem. I have been using DVD Shrink to read the files off of the DVD-RW disk I record on, I edit out the commercials and save them to the hard drive."
"This all works fine. The problem is the files are .vob files or VIDEO_TS files which, I can put one file (TV show) at a time into dvd shrink and burn a DVD-R disk with no problem. I would like to burn several episodes on one disk. I am using Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 and it says it will work with the above mentioned files, but I am not having any success doing this. Do you have any suggestions as what to do?"
The downside to using set-top DVD recorders as a way to time shift your television view is the DVD format. In order for DVD players to read the audio and video information on a DVD it must be organized in a specific folder hierarchy based on the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folder hierarchy and pointer files that tell the DVD player where to find the specific audio formats and individual video segments. A .vob file is essentially just an MPEG-2 video file with slightly different header information to make it compatible with your DVD player. None of these files is directly readable by your computer, which means they need to be converted to be portable for other purposes. Since you are already using DVD Shrink to extract the files from the DVD-RW, you are part of the way to your desired solution.
DVD Shrink supports two main options. The Full Disc option takes the existing directory structure from a DVD and copies it to another DVD. The second option is to Re-author a DVD. You want this second option for combining multiple DVDs onto one single DVD-R. After selecting the Re-author option, browse to the location on your hard drive where each of the show recordings are stored and add them to your DVD project. Each show should appear in the DVD Structure list in the DVD Shrink application window. Depending on how cramped for space your DVD gets, you can further squeeze more space out of the DVD-R by adjusting the start and end frames of each show, although presumably you already did this when you were editing out the commercials. Once you get everything configured, click the Backup button to create your DVD. If you want to use Roxio to burn the files, choose a location on your hard drive as the backup target, verifying the Create VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS subfolders box is checked. If you are attempting to fit more than 4.7GB of data on one DVD-R, you want to check the Perform deep analysis box on the Quality tab to make sure you get the best output possible. When you click the OK button, the process of generating your folders with the DVD data begins.
After DVD Shrink finishes creating your DVD files the next step is to burn them to disk. Using virtually any DVD burning app will work from here. Open your favorite burning software and either choose to create a DVD video disk or DVD data disk. Add both the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to the project and burn.

MINA PHILIPP
Mina is a self-taught knitter and designer with a massive passion for incorporating colour and texture into her designs. She has a great love for everything from cables and textures, to colourwork and lace. She has always aimed to be inclusive with her design work in terms of sizing and pricing, so as many people as possible can enjoy them.
Mina prides herself on creating patterns that are approachable for newer knitters by providing clear and detailed instructions, while also remaining interesting and engaging for more experienced knitters. Wherever possible in a design, she incorporates flexibility to give knitters the tools and confidence to customise their projects to suit them.
She also hosts a video podcast on Youtube as the Knitting Expat Podcast, posts frequently over on Instagram as @knittingexpat and in recent years she has also started teaching in person and online knitting workshops. You can find Mina's designs on Ravelry as Knitting Expat Designs. This month we're delighted to display four of her samples from her new cowls book, the Yorkville Sweater and the Snow Day Shawl. While our store is closed, we'll be highlighting each design via our Instagram feed this month.
TETI LUTSAK - NUTSKNITWEAR
Teti is a botanist by training and at heart, who found a creative escape from strict lab protocols in knitting. She lives in Haarlem, The Netherlands and in 2017 switched her career to chase a dream of designing full time.
Teti's designs are inspired by nature, flowers and leaves, textures of bark and moss, movement and stillness of grass. She lives in a small attic apartment with her husband and her ginger cat Katzie, from where she can always take a bike trip to the dunes in search for inspiration. She loves sophisticated yet functional designs, seamless constructions, has a good eye for misfit and struggles to satisfy her inner perfectionist. She is attracted to natural warm colours and finds special pleasure in designing colourwork.
We are excited to have three of Teti's samples on display at our shop: the elegant cablework pullover Dark Moss, the irresistible floral stranded colourwork sweater Florarium Light and the just released Inflorescence Pullover in which floats are ingeniously carried on the right side of the yoke. Customers can admire Teti's craftsmanship and we have all the yarns suitable for these wonderful projects. You can find Teti's patterns on Ravelry and follow her designs on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nutsknitwear/. Her website is https://www.nutsknitwear.com/
MIEKA JOHN - SALT AND STONE KNITS
Mieka John, the Amsterdam-based designer behind Salt & Stone Knits, enjoys the many facets of being a knitwear designer. On an average day she's connecting and collaborating with other makers, biking to her next appointment, swatching designs, and preparing classes. Sometimes she even manages to stop for fresh Dutch herring on the way home and there's always a few WIPs in the basket of her bike.
When she moved from New York in 2017 to Amstedam, knitting and crochet were the only crafts to make it through the move. She turned to yarn to fill the idle hours that accompanied her first few months in a new country. Through the Stephen & Penelope for a craft night, Mieka found her community. Inspired and encouraged by those around her, Mieka found that the spark that led her to teaching and designing was kindled.
The designs of Salt & Stone Knits are grounded in technique. When Mieka teaches knitting classes she enjoys connecting with students from around the world both virtually and at festivals. Often the techniques featured in her lessons become the central focus of her designs. She delights in finding new applications for familiar techniques and building them into wearable and versatile items. Creating handmade items of clothing is a way for Mieka to enrich her wardrobe and discover her style.
Mieka gets excited when she imagines the life of a knitted object as it's taking shape on her needles. What could make a pair of slippers extra cozy? Will a scarf be used to bundle up against the wind or worn loosely on a spring afternoon by the sea? When she can envision her designs taking up space in the real world, she gets a better sense of how they should look. Visually, her designs are rich in texture; densely repeated motifs and deep, plush fabrics that delight the hands as well as the eye.
We are thrilled to have three of Mieka's patterns in our window display this month. The Hestia Slippers from Laine 52 Weeks of Socks, the Chickpea Cowl and the Mokum cowl are all small projects that are perfect for gift knitting. Though the store is still closed as a precaution against COVID 19, we hope you can stop for a moment to admire them if your travels take you past the shop. You can find Mieka's patterns on Payhip and Ravelry, and see more of her beautiful work on instagram @saltandstoneknits.
XIAOWEI HU - XIAOWEI DESIGN
Xiaowei Hu is a Chinese-French knitwear designer living and working in Lille, France. She specialises in clean, modern knits, many of which are sized for both women and children for bonus twinning fun.
For Xiaowei, knitting is her daily life and has been since she learned to knit at six years old. She was born in northern China, where winter temperatures could drop down to -20º. From childhood, all the women around her were knitters, her mother, her aunts, her neighbours. At that time in China, knitting was the main activity after work for many women. Before winter came, women would knit sweaters and pants for all her family members. Xiaowei particularly remembers the woollen pants that were worn under regular pants, they were essential to getting through the cold weather.
Xiaowei dreamed of becoming a stylist, and being a knitwear designer has allowed part of that dream to come true. Her studies in fine arts also helped her on the path. She always records the interesting elements she sees, be it a color, a shape, or a pattern, then composes them in her own way. At the start of her design career, she only created adult patterns, but after the birth of her daughter, she started also making children's garments, and mother-daughter patterns. Her daughter is a strong source of inspiration for Xiaowei, and she always imagines the render of a pattern on her daughter when she designs an adult model or vice versa.
We're lucky to have four lovely Xiaowei Designs samples to share in October: The adult sized Huangshan Sweater and Tiyuan cardigan, and the children's sized Little Molis and Little Môme. While the store is currently closed, we'll be featuring each design on our instagram feed. You can find more of Xiaowei's work on instagram @xiaowei_design, and her website and on Ravelry.
SHIN KNUDSEN - SHINYSUPERHERO
Shin Knudsen, also known as shinysuperhero, is a Danish crafter. She was taught to knit as a child by a family friend and, after taking a break from knitting in her teens, picked up her needles again in her mid-twenties. Eventually, knitting became Shin's path to relieving stress and anxiety, and feeling a sense of accomplishment outside of her work. She started designing her own patterns in 2018 and has a "learn as you go" approach to designing. The idea that you can turn your vision into something that you and others can knit, and then to see knitters making items from your patterns is miraculous to her.
Fun is fundamental to Shin's design philosophy, as is making what feels right in the moment. Sometimes that means bypassing current trends, other times, she takes inspiration from fashion and pop culture. Shin's signature aesthetic is multi-coloured intarsia and stranded colourwork, particularly featuring bright colours like her favourites yellow, pink and green. Shin particularly loves designing with intarsia, because imagination is the only limit, and because it is fun to knit too.
We're thrilled to feature 5 of Shin's designs in store this month: drop in to see the Alexandria Blouse and matching Alexandria Hat, the Aurora Cardigan, the Fab Tee and the newly released Ava Cowl (links go to Ravelry). Shin's patterns are for sale on Ravelry and you can follow her on instagram @shinysuperhero.
KWANNIE CHENG - STUDIO MANYA
Kwannie Cheng is the designer behind Studio Manya and is based in The Netherlands. While on maternity leave in 2013, she learnt the basics of crochet from a neighbour. Kwannie's work took an upturn in 2018 when she started was inspired by a friend's social media success to launch her own instagram account. The decision to focus on miniatures was, at first, purely a tactical decision: with two kids and a job, Kwannie did not have much time left to crochet. Smaller items would be quicker to finish, meaning more posts, she thought. But she soon realised nothing could be further from the truth! Nevertheless, Kwannie's miniatures have resonated with crocheters around the world, and her work continues to grow.
Kwannie's mission is to show people that there is so much more you can create with crochet, and to capture the not-so-glamorous aspects of everyday life. She hopes this relates to other crocheters, or at least gives them a laugh. Throughout August, we have four samples from Kwannie's Doll House range on display in the store: the Fridge, Stove, Couch and TV Corner. You can see more of Kwannie's work on her website studiomanya.com and find her patterns on Ravelry and Etsy.
JULIA WILKENS DESIGNS
You might recognise Julia from our Employee Spotlight section, because in addition to being a knitwear designer, she is the Operations Manager here at Stephen & Penelope. Julia hails from the Frankfurt/Main region of Germany, but has lived in Amsterdam for over 20 years.
Julia has always altered patterns to better flatter herself and her tastes and in 2019 took the leap into publishing her own designs. Colourwork yoke sweaters are a particular favourite for Julia, and she takes her inspiration from the fine art world (in a former life, Julia was an art gallery manager), and from nature.
Julia's summery brioche tank top Azimuth was published in issue 33 of Pom Pom magazine, you can visit Azimuth, and Julia's yoked sweater designs The Painter, Aero, and the newly published Matilda in the store through out the month of July.
REBECCA MCKENZIE - RAGING PURLWIND
Rebecca McKenzie is the knitwear designer and creator of the Raging Purlwind brand. The brand grew out of Rebecca's desire to create clothes that would fit her body rather than trying to make her body fit into her clothes. She has a whimsical style and enjoys designing coloUrful, vintage-inspired knitwear pieces that she hopes will become staples in any everyday wardrobe.
Each Raging Purlwind design is created with a story in mind. Every stitch is carefully chosen to convey different elements of that story and this translates into a crafting experience that is both relaxing and fun for those who choose to knit them.
Throughout the month of June you can visit the store to see samples of four of Rebecca's patterns, Aperture Cowldana, First Sunset Shawl, Radiance Tank, and the Mermaid Top.
APRIL & MAY
NORIKO HO - NORICHAN KNITS
Noriko is the knitwear and crochet designer behind Norichan Knits. She has been knitting, spinning, and crocheting for over 15 years now, and while she published her first pattern in 2008, it wasn't until 2014 that she decided to become serious about designing. Since then, she has been published in a variety of magazines and booklets, as well as her self published designs on Ravelry.
When not designing, Noriko is typically still hard at work, as she works part time at an LYS and part time as an optometrist. You can check out what she's up to on Instagram @norichanknits!
Because the store is still closed until further notice, Noriko's beautiful samples of her new shawl pattern Tien May, her Numbat Cowl and crochet shawl Lost Lake aren't up on display yet, but we're hosting a virtual sample display on Instagram this month. Check out our feed each week to see these lush samples!

JIMENEZ JOSEPH - JIMI KNITS
Former Graphic Designer and Track & Field Heptathlete, Jimenez Joseph took up knitting after severely dislocating her knee joint. A simple gift of a 'Learn To Knit' kit sparked a curious interest that quickly became an obsession.
Since publishing her first pattern in 2011, her focus has been to design garments that she would want to wear. Her designs are inspired by the colours, composition and texture of yarns that she encounters, which then go towards developing into novel pieces.
Jimenez's creative vision is backed up by the clarity and concision of her patterns, using her graphic communication skills to simplify even her most complex designs.
We have four gorgeous Jimi Knits samples in store in February, drop in to see the Aggregate Shawl, Chicane sweater, Refraction Shawl and the Yzzy Mitts and Cowl set.
TINA TSE
Tina designs and manages a team that works on industrial knitting machines by day and creates hand knitting pattern designs by night. Her grandmother taught her to hand knit very young and Tina translated that passion into her career in college, studying knitwear design. She started her career in the fashion industry as a knitwear specialist, working with designers to execute their knit fabric or garment ideas.
Now, she works in the sporting goods industry, developing technical textiles with plastic yarn. She publishes independent patterns on Ravelry and has been published in Pom Pom Quarterly Magazine. She draws inspiration from textures to color changes to the people in her life to her Chinese culture. She is passionate about sharing her experiences as an Asian American and advocate for proper representation of Asian identity, especially in creative spaces.
Through January you can stop by the shop to visit samples of the Golden Horizons Sweater, Long Spring Daze Shawl, and Seven Maidens Shawl.
NOMA NDLOVU
Noma Ndlovu is a knitwear designer based in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Prior to becoming a full-time knitwear designer she was a Personal Finance Trainer and enjoyed working with communities and corporate organisations to educate people on personal financial management.
Noma enjoys designing modern garments and accessories with interesting texture usually featuring cables, lace and a combination of knit and purl stitches creating unique, one of a kind designs.
Through December you can stop by the shop to visit samples of the Ruched Shawl - Light, Thandeka Pullover, Black Berry Shawl, and Khanyisa Cardigan.
MALIA MAE JOSEPH
It's November Designer of the month time, and my staff has convinced me that I should have a go!
I'm Malia, I'm the founder and co-owner of Stephen and Penelope, and when I grow up I want to be a designer.
Sometimes I piece together the time to work on designs, and actually write them down, have them knit and photographed. Mostly ideas and sketches just sit in one of my sketchbooks for ages! One day when life slows down I will focus more on this creative part of my life! Many of my recent designs were created with West Wool, a yarn whose palette I helped to design as well, so that has been a very special process for me.
This month you can visit the Brackish Jumper, Brackish Hat, and Trixie Shawl in the shop, all knit in West Wool of course!
Nancy Marchant, a.k.a. the Queen Mother of Brioche, has studied the nuances of this European stitch for more than 20 years. She's developed new and exciting stitch patterns and techniques for achieving beautiful brioche results. Nancy is the author of Knitting Brioche, Knitting Fresh Brioche, Leafy Brioche, Tuck Stitches, and Knitting Brioche Lace.
Nancy lives in Amsterdam, yet finds the time to travel the world giving lessons and spreading brioche love. Learn more at www.briochestitch.com. This month you can visit samples of the Red Kite, Evergreen, Daphne, and Brioche Buddies in the shop's designer of the month display.
MARA LICOLE
Mara Licole is the designer behind Mara Licole Knits. She creates designs that are soulful. Inspired by her culturally rich urban upbringing, romantic daydreams, and wanderlust spirit, all of Mara's designs begin with carefully chosen colors and quality yarns that are made of 100% natural fibre. If you adore little bits of luxury, delicate details, and projects with bespoke qualities, you will love Mara's designs.
Mara is a self-taught knitter who decided to learn to knit as a way to manage anxiety. After earning a bachelor's degree in psychology, a master's degree in communication, and completing first year coursework for law school she struggled to fit into professional roles in predominantly white institutions where diversity is just a strategic goal and inclusivity is not a priority. As a professional she has worked as an Assistant Director for Diversity, a college instructor, a personal brand and career coach for formerly incarcerated individuals and more recently a Makerspace Manager.
The anxiety from trying to fit into many of these workplaces led to the creation of Mara Licole Knits in 2016. She is working on expanding her design portfolio to include a broader range of projects for you to enjoy. Throughout September you can visit Stephen and Penelope to see The Rose That Grew from Concrete, Islington and Wildflowers + Honey in the Designer of the Month display. You can also follow her design journey on Instagram @maralicoleknits.
Frenchie of Aroha Knits works as a knitwear designer and coach, she inspires and empowers fibre artists to transform their yarn so they can manifest "Aroha," one stitch at a time. She is passionate about creating meaningful and fulfilling work, shaking up the industry and fibre community, and serving as a catalyst for transformative impact.
As a bi-racial, multi-cultural queer crafter of colour, she works to empower knitters, whom she calls Fibre Muses, by exploring the intersection of making with identity, so they can think deeply about what they create, to make a transformational impact with their craft.
Her designs draw influence from Frenchie's Moari heritiage, where she transforms the myths, legends, and other stories into stitches and connect them to the story of why we make. Through this recreation, her work aims to remember the past and strengthen the future for the Maori culture and people, while enriching the present knitting community and sharing her voice, and the stories the third-space generation.
This month you can visit samples of the Aumangea Pullover, and the Taimana, Whakairo, and Kahurangi cowls.
After leaving her life as a pastry chef to start a family, Andrea's hands found the necessary freedom to begin creating with fiber instead of flour. She focuses on designing knits to fit the modern wardrobe – fun to knit and easy to wear. Andrea has a great love for indulging in new techniques and skills and then sharing them with other knitters thru her patterns and workshops. Her goal is to leave knitters feeling empowered, inspired, and wrapped up in their own beautiful knits! You can find her at www.dreareneeknits.com and everywhere else as DreaReneeKnits!

LA MAISON RILILIE
January Designer of the Month La Maison Rililie shares with us "As most knitters out there I had learned how to knit in school and started once more after a really big pause during a long stay in Edinburgh. I was there for half a year and fell in love with all the nice wool that is readily available in Scotland. I immediately started to be very active on Ravelry too, and thanks to this community I not only got back to knit again, but also learned so much more about it.
Sadly I lost my father during this time and I can now say that I was able to cope with all the sadness and the arising difficulties because of my knitting. I was constantly knitting and there was no moment during the day where I didn't work on something. Even during meals I had my knitting next to me and I think that not only the repetitive movement of the hands, but also the calculations and specific practical project planning that is needed to construct a garment, was the only thing that was calming and soothing during these troubling times.
Even today, I still find that after long periods of straight knitting I am not only feeling much calmer, but I am always astonished when I happen to see my face right afterwards, because it totally reflects that. I do look much calmer, too! I find this very fascinating."
Whether you need some therapy knitting to start the new year, or just some inspiration, come by the shop this month to see La Maison Rililie's "Menage a Trois" shawl, "La Gekka" jumper and "Diane" cardigan.

Since then she has been dedicated to designing wearable and fun to knit garments and accessories. She is passionate about textures, shaping, and smart details in handmade knitwear. Paula has multiple influences, having lived in Canada and in California where she dove deep in studies of Tibetan Buddhism and also obtained her yoga teacher degree, and these experiences are reflected in her work.
LAURA NELKIN
Laura lives in the Fingerlakes region of New York, where the sunny season is short leaving plenty of time to be indoors knitting. Though she has a degree in apparel design, she took to knitting years ago and hasn't looked back (though she does make most of her clothes). Laura is a consummate maker, her hands are always busy! Currently she is obsessed with her side-to-side Novus construction and finding new ways to apply that architecture to her sweater designs. She is also deeply in love with lace, beads and colour and incorporates them into her design work whenever possible!

Thea's designs are wearable, comfortable, and always have great details and well-considered textures. She mostly designs women's garments and accessories; using cables, lace, and little details to make designs that are classic and wearable, but just a bit unique. Throughout the month of March stop in to see Negroni, Mamie Taylor, and Vodka Lemonade on display
Thea has also designed a hat pattern named after Dutch gin - Genever. This beautiful colourwork hat is made to be knit in the always classic Brooklyn Tweed Shelter. Stephen & Penelope customers will get $2 off the pattern price! Stop by the shop to get your copy of Genever!

Our very special Designer of the Month for February is Susan Crawford. This Designer of the Month is actually coming to Amsterdam to show us her samples in person!
We first fell in love with Susan's work with her books A Stitch in Time Volume 1 and 2. The pair of books bring to life vintage period knitting patterns spanning the years 1920 - 1959. The pair comprise a gorgeous vintage pattern collection.
Susan's most recent book, The Vintage Shetland Project is the culmination of the several years Susan has spent researching early 20th Century knitting in Shetland. Susan has painstakingly recreated hand-knitted garments from the 1920s to the 1960s from the Shetland Museum's archives and created patterns from these vintage items.
Join us on 17 February in Amsterdam to meet Susan, view samples from the book and hear a presentation about this new project and to hear about the forthcoming book!
Samples from the book will be on view only during the event, and as a special treat, you can also shop Susan's line of yarns on the weekend of the 17th and 18th of February.
Our Designer of the Month for January is Isabell Kraemer. Her stunning contemporary designs have been published in Laine Magazine, Amirisu and Vogue Knitting among others. She has also produced beautiful designs for Malabrigo Yarns, Quince & Co and Swan's Island… all in her signature streamlined and contemporary style.
Isabell is a qualified dressmaker who became a knitwear designer almost by accident! People kept asking her how she made things, so she published her notes on her blog. When she discovered Ravelry she gradually started to publish more and more designs. It wasn't long before she had gained a large and dedicated following for her fresh, wearable, and modern patterns.
Until the end of the month we have Humulus, Bavaria, Aileas, Ashes, and Arwen on display from Isabell. You can purchase her stunning patterns through us in-store, or via her Ravelry store.
Our December Designer of the Month is a little closer to home. Natasja Hornby is the woman behind the striking designs of Moonstruck Knits. Born in South-Africa, raised on the Dutch island of Texel, Natasja now lives and works in Amsterdam. Although she is formally design trained and has been teaching textiles and arts for over a decade, she is still relatively new at designing knitwear. She's inspired by the life in the city - it's flamboyant people, it's art and it's architecture – but also by wind-swept Texel. Natasja's designs are wearable, unpretentious and fuss free, but never boring or generic. To her, knitwear should be an eye-catcher, but also a shield against the weather.
Until the end of the month we have three gorgeous Moonstruck Knits samples in-store, Neruda, Tycho and Maan. Make the time to come and see them, they're worth the trip!
CAITLIN HUNTER
We've been eyeing Caitlin Hunter's designs for a while now and we're super excited to have her as November's designer of the month. Originally from Alaska, she now lives in the forests of Oregon, and the influence of place can be seen in her work. Her designs are innovative and stunning, intended to be treasured for a lifetime and beyond. Caitlin's designs also reflect her philosophy "knitting is like any challenge in life- just take it one row at a time and you will be surprised at what you can accomplish!" Caitlin sent us many fabulous samples so stop by and see Tegna, Orha, Sunset Highway, Birkin (as seen in Laine Issue 2) as well as Zweig (as seen on our Instagram) in store!

The Security Council's veto powers' were a point of contention at the United Nations General Assembly. Reform initiatives were discussed for a more proportional representation. Currently, veto powers are limited to the Permanent 5 countries and winners of World War II: Russia, the U.S., China, the United Kingdom and France.
France maintained that they previously motioned to decentralize authority to veto, but that they lacked Russia and the U.S's support.
The delegate of the United States of America posited that they were "open to accommodation." They posited that they were against the restrictions of vetoing to the P5 countries. They shared their interested in wanting to achieve proportional representation for nations.
Venezuela claimed "the U.S does not want to relinquish power." The delegate from Venezuela asserted its intention to "reinstate democracy," so that all nations would be equal before the law. Venezuela claims "no nation, however rich, large and armed, should bully another" and pushed for the motion to inspect the Eurocentrism inherent in veto powers.
The U.S. says that they were misquoted. Their veto power was earned and deserved in its incessant aid to other nations.
The delegate of the UK continuously motioned to discuss Russia's historical vetoing uses. The motion was tied after 3 re-votes. The Russian Federation immediately postulated that in case of a tie, the motion fails. The delegate of Spain then walked back into the room. Their vote had not yet been taken into account. After a few moments of silence, Spain voted against the motion.
Venezuela reaffirmed that it will not comprise for democracy. Having been threatened with nuclear weapons, Venezuela claimed "equality is not the status quo".

how fun is this little cutie by Sassy Cheryl?
The markers are double ended with a brush and a fine tip and they come in all the wonderful Memento colors you already use. They are not alcohol markers but I had no problem getting them to blend on Copic Blending card stock. This image is a digi and the marker did not bleed nor did the inkjet ink smear.
The sentiment is from the Tinsel & Trim stamp set by Reverse Confetti and it was heat set with Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko Iridescent embossing powder. Round stitched die is by Lil Inkers.
Great job blending, I'm loving the markers too.
Lovin' this happy snowman. I am also lovin' the stitched circle!!
Thanks for playing along in the Ribbons or Bows challenge this past week with my Sassy Gals!!!
I just adore this snowman. Your card looks so jolly and perfect for Christmas. Thanks for playing along with Sassy Cheryl's again this week.
Beautiful! And your bow is awesome, too!
Your card is awesome. Love color combo and gorgeous design.

Sugar Rush: Timmy O's Frozen Custard is Creamy and Dreamy
Joe DiStefano
Published: October 17, 2008 Last Updated: August 9, 2018
The days of Indian Summer may be numbered, but that didn't seem to phase Timmy O'Leary—the man behind Timmy O's Frozen Custard. Visiting his two-month old store, which is practically around the corner from the Lemon Ice King of Corona, I was immediately offered samples of incredibly creamy frozen custard. The graduate of the Frozen Dessert Institute told me that one reason his custard is so tasty is that it's served relatively warm so rather than freezing one's taste buds it "melts and rolls of the tongue." The other reason is top-notch ingredients, like Madagascar vanilla beans, that go into a proprietary blend used to make a crazy good vanilla custard.
In addition to chocolate and vanilla, O'Leary also has a flavor the day. The day I visited, it was blueberry pie: Vanilla custard shot through with blueberries and shards of pie crust. I opted for a scoop of each flavor. It's not that I'm a glutton, I'm just indecisive. Today's flavor of the day is coconut cream pie. It sounds so good that it makes me want to forget that the mercury will dip into the forties this evening.
Incidentally, the custard machines at Timmy O's have a setting for Italian ices. O'Leary's not certain whether he'll take on the King of Corona later this summer. For now though, I know where I'll be going for frozen custard, even if it's freezing outside.

Q: Copy row from non active sheet and past on non active sheet on next available row? I am using the following macro to copy a range of rows from my non active worksheet in the background and paste it also on the non active worksheet on the next available row.
For some reason I am getting the error object doesn't support this property or method, runtime error 438.
Sub Save8()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set NextRow = Range("B" & Sheets("Time Allocation").UsedRange.Rows.Count + 1)
Sheets("Time Allocation").Range("B506:L515").Copy
Sheets("Time Allocation").NextRow.PasteSpecial Paste:=1, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Set NextRow = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

The part of the code giving the error is:
Sheets("Time Allocation").NextRow.PasteSpecial Paste:=1, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

however if I use the below code it works fine and pastes it onto the specified range, however I can't use this because I intend to have multiple copies and pastes of the same range of rows going down the page onto the next available rows:
Sub Save8()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set NextRow = Range("B" & Sheets("Time Allocation").UsedRange.Rows.Count + 1)
Sheets("Time Allocation").Range("B506:L515").Copy
Sheets("Time Allocation").Range("B516").PasteSpecial
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Set NextRow = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Please can someone show me where I am going wrong?

A: From what I can tell this is what you need, not sure what you are using it for as the UsedRange will keep resizing the range but you are not copying using the object so you will get a duplicated copy happening. Here is my code for you:
Dim NextRow As Range
Sub Save8()
Dim sht As Worksheet, currentRow As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set sht = Sheets("Time Allocation")
Set currentRow = sht.Range(sht.UsedRange.Address)
Set NextRow = currentRow.Offset(currentRow.Rows.Count, 0)

Sheets("Time Allocation").Range("B506:L515").Copy
'NextRow.PasteSpecial Paste:=1, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
NextRow.PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Set NextRow = Nothing
Set currentRow = Nothing
Set sht = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

A: Because here
Sheets("Time Allocation").NextRow.PasteSpecial (etc ...)

you are telling Excel to look for a property NextRow on the Worksheet Object , property that doesn't exist.
Instead , simply call the PasteSpecial method like this:
NextRow.PasteSpecial (etc ...)

and it will work.
