Fit Mom Slams Pregorexia Claims
Home/In the News/Fit Mom Slams Pregorexia Claims
Chontel Duncan was recently featured in an article about an issue called pregorexia—the mom was understandly upset to be connected with the eating disorder.

Chontel Duncan has made a name for herself for staying ridiculously fit throughout pregnancy. But the mom, who is now expecting her second child, has discovered the downside to all that attention: She recently faced some unfair treatment, as the Courier Mail ran an article that connected her to pregorexia, a serious pregnancy-related eating disorder.
Duncan posted an Instagram shot slamming the publication for including a photo of a statement from Duncan in their coverage. To be fair, the publication didn't accuse the mother of suffering from the issue, but Duncan was understandably humiliated by the association.
"Exercise benefits more then [sic] just a pregnancy, it's far beyond that but if I have a platform to spread a positive message across the world instead of all the negative that is out there in this world, why wouldn't I? Instead money hungry papers need to try bring down a mother who is also expecting to make a headline and grab some extra attention and readers," she wrote. "Shame on them for playing a part in social media trolling/bullying on such a large scale. Can you imagine how you'd feel if a well known paper made a fool of you?"
Here's the thing: Eating disorders are an incredibly serious health issue, and this whole social media trend of "diagnosing" thin or fit women with them really has to stop. It"s up to medical professionals to assess these issues. Duncan seems like a perfectly healthy woman who works hard at the gym, watches what she eats and just so happens to be genetically slender to boot. Associating her likeness with a serious disease is definitely problematic.
But according to an expert, pregorexia is a real thing that plagues some expectant mothers (and just to be clear, we are in no way suggesting Duncan is one of them!) "Pregorexia [refers to] a pregnant woman who exhibits signs of having an anorexic eating disorder. That's pretty much what it boils down to: They are very conscious about their caloric intake, they are very adamant about exercising to the point where it's not healthy," Kecia Gaither, M.D., a double-board certified OB/GYN, told Fit Pregnancy. "As an OB/GYN, what we would see is the woman doesn't gain any weight. The worst extreme—and I've seen two cases of this—you have fetal growth restriction because the mother is not eating."
Dr. Gaither maintains that medical professionals should handle cases of pregorexia, which can be multi-factorial (which is to say, it's not always just about how much weight a woman does or doesn't gain during pregnancy). Partners can sometimes recognize disordered patterns and suggest seeking medical attention as well, and women who suffer from eating disorders before pregnancy may be more vulnerable. Diagnosing the issue isn't simple. "I think you would have to get a good history and physical to see if other factors are weighing in," she said.
It's no secret that women are constantly being judged, especially on social media. Commenters are quick to say something when they decide a woman is "too big" or "too thin," and people like Chontel are often victims of body-shaming as a result. But unless you're a concerned party—a family member or a doctor—you probably should just mind your own business.
"I think as long as a [pregnant] woman is gaining appropriate weight and her baby is acceptable for gestational age, it's fine for her continue exercise to the extent that her body can take it," Dr. Gaither said. "It's incumbent upon all women to take advantage of the fact that prenatal care is readily available and to listen to your doctor's instructions as to whether you're gaining weight adequately and your baby is gaining weight adequately."

When December rolls around it tends to bring out the giving spirit in all of us. This means that we can easily be distracted from the safety issues with toys. It is natural to get excited about giving our children the gifts they want the most. Unfortunately, some toys have hidden dangers that can pose a threat to your children.
According to an estimation by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission there were an astounding 251,700 toy related injuries in the U.S. in 2010. Considering that 72% of those injuries were inflicted upon children less than 15 years of age, it is wise for us to pay closer attention to the toys we purchase. The organization Prevent Blindness America has dedicated the month of December as a Safe Toys and Gifts Awareness month.
This dedication to awareness is done with hopes to reduce the massive number of toy related injuries each year. It also aspires to ensure that parents and relatives pay closer attention to the toy recalls put out by manufacturers. In 2007 there were over 19 million toys recalled worldwide due to safety concerns ranging from small parts to lead paint. At Safe Touch Security, we care for your family as though it was our own, and we would like to remind everyone to consider these safety statistics and use caution when purchasing toys for your children.
One of the most important facts to remember when gift shopping is that even though a toy is listed as being within a child's age range, it does not mean that that toy is appropriate for every individual child in that age range. Children are all remarkable and different, when purchasing toys for a child it is best to consider their developmental stage along with their age. This is especially true for infants and children that are under the age of three.
•    Carefully inspect toys and avoid toys that include shooting, small, and removal parts. Toys should be durable and able to handle rough play without falling apart easily.
• If purchasing gifts for children with special needs try to choose toys that will appeal to their individual senses with sound, texture, and movement. A great website to assist with appropriate toys is http://www.ableplay.org/.
• Carefully inspect all toys that your child receives to ensure that they are age appropriate and safe for your child.
• Be sure to look for labels that indicate that a toy has passed a safety inspection. The abbreviation "ATSM" indicates that a toy meets the American Society for Testing and Materials standards.
•    Always include safety gear such as helmets, knee and elbow pads when giving children bikes, skateboards, and other types of sporting equipment.
• Be certain to educate yourself about the dangers of lead exposure related to toys. Older toys may be considered unsafe due to lead content in paint. Pay close attention to the toys your child plays with and encourage routine handwashing as an extra precaution.
•    Do NOT give toys with small parts such as tiny button shaped batteries and magnets. A good rule to follow is that if it will fit inside a toilet paper tube it is unsafe for children under three.
• Do NOT purchase or allow children to play with toys that have heating elements, cords, or ropes.
You can also contact Prevent Blindness America at (800)331-2020 or visit their website at: www.preventblindness.org/children/safetoys.html for more information.
At Safe Touch, we always want to put your safety first. If your family is all set with safe toys and gifts for the holidays, consider a home security system to guard your most precious gifts, your children. Contact us today for a free home security audit so you can enjoy your holiday safely and worry-free.

Challenge4ACause
Challenge4ACause is a race through 600kms of African wilderness to raise money for our Foundation and support wildlife conservation & education.
A campaign by Rise Africa Foundation
R1,500 Donate now! Start fundraising Share on Facebook
Driven by a burning desire to give back to Africa, uplift its people and preserve the wildlife of our magical continent, Rhino Africa launched C4AC. And thus, this crazy initiative was born.
Crazy for two reasons. Firstly, it consists of multiple days of extreme mountain biking, over 400km from start to finish; secondly, the route traverses some of the most remote and barren parts of Africa. Envision empty horizons, no civilisation and lots and lots of sand.
So it's fairly obvious where the challenge element of this comes in. But, what about the cause? Well, Rhino Africa is a company founded on the principle of giving back. Africa is such a magical place and everyone – all around the world – should have the privilege of experiencing her charm. And only through the preservation of her wildlife, the protection of her incredible spaces and upliftment of her warm people can this be possible.
What better way to raise awareness and funds, than by exploring the most remote and inaccessible parts of our beautiful continent. As they say, the pain might be temporary (and self-inflicted) but the experience, scenery, camaraderie and sense of purpose makes this one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.
After conquering the harsh Namibian desert (or at least trying our best to) for over 10 years, we thought it was time for new challenges on new horizons. This year, Rhino Africa has partnered with our close friends at Wilderness Safaris and are proud to embark on our inaugural Challenge4ACause; Tour de Tuli edition. True to Rhino Africa's pioneering spirit, this four-day mountain biking challenge will see our Rhinos tackle the harshest terrain of not only one country, but three: Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
A multi-day mountain bike tour is not for the faint of heart. Think freezing cold temperatures in the morning, teeth chattering in the icy breeze, soon followed by the scorching heat of the blazing midday African sun, with no reprieve from the elements.
This voyage encompasses a daily average of 7 hours on the bike, delicately meandering along ancient game-trodden trails, singletracks across sprawls of loose stones and Moab-style steep cliffs and ridges. This is Africa's true wilderness. Wildebeest, giraffe and warthog encounters are fairly common and, if you're "lucky", an elephant-sized "wake up call" to get the heart pumping.
Why would anyone do this to themselves you may ask?
Well, the answer is simple: C4AC and Tour de Tuli are built around raising money for organisations dedicated to leaving a powerful and lasting impact in Africa. Over the past 12 years, C4AC has raised over R10 million ($720 000). An incredible achievement which has contributed to the protection of Africa's most endangered animals as well as uplifting children and communities who need it the most. Our Impact Partners, Wildlife ACT, the Good Work Foundation, Khumbulani Educare Centre, The Click Foundation and Save the Rhino Trust have all done incredible work in preserving and building a better Africa for the future.
But there is still so much more to be done. This year, the Rhino Riders are aiming to raise R100 000 ($7,000) through our crowdfunding platform. All funds raised will go directly towards these worthy causes and the vital work they do.
Be bold, be brave, take the leap with our riders and become an ambassador for Africa – donate to C4AC now – and leave your legacy in Africa.

Kyrgios to meet Federer in Miami semis
Nick Kyrgios of Australia in action against Alexander Zverev of Germany at the Miami Open. ERIK S. LESSER
by News Corp
31st Mar 2017 4:14 PM
NICK Kyrgios was at his sparkling best - and he needed to be - while booking a semi-final date with Roger Federer at the Miami Open.
The Aussie star met 19-year-old German Alexander Zverev for the second time in his career and maintained his status as the most promising young gun in the game with his second victory, 6-4 6-7 (11-9) 6-3.
After taking 41 minutes to claim the first set, Kyrgios opened the second with one of the most impressive between-the-legs shots of his career.
He followed that with a crowd-pleasing act of chivalry, when he encouraged Zverev to challenge a baseline call, which fell in his opponent's favour.
Kyrgios, perhaps conscious of how often he goes viral for negative moments, responded to the crowd's congratulations by saying: "I want to see that on social media."
Tennis TV obliged and Kyrgios created more Twitter chatter when shortly after he was given a time violation warning by the chair umpire. He replied "yeah, give one to Rafa" - in reference to Spanish star Rafael Nadal's reputation for taking longer than any player on the tour to get through his service games.
Zverev took the second set in a tiebreaker as the two tyros traded blows from the back of the court. The German survived two match points to level the breaker at 6-6, before serving an ace to earn a set point of his own.
Kyrgios responded with his 11th ace of the match and a service winner to gain his third match point, but after taking control of the rally with a backhand down the line, hit a drop shot that bounced far too high to miss his chance.
Two ridiculous backhand lobs - one which left Kyrgios stranded and another which forced him to play a tweener into the net - allowed the world No.20 to level the match at a set apiece.
But consistently doing more running along the baseline appeared to catch up with Zverev in the third as Kyrgios broke in the sixth game on his way to a sensational win.
The Canberra native looms as the main threat to a repeat Federer-Rafael Nadal final, after the two veterans met at Indian Wells.
Kyrgios was scheduled to play Federer in the quarter-finals of the California event but was forced to pull out of their match after suffering a bout of food poisoning.
In Miami, Federer survived a match point in an unusually tight three-set win against a man he usually dominates, Tomas Berdych.
The 6-2 3-6 7-6 (8-6) victory came a day after Nadal booked a semi-final berth against Italian world No.40 Fabio Fognini, who upset Japan's Kei Nishikori.
Kyrgios loses to Federer ... and gets heckled by his wife

Q: Using NDMP instead of CIFS mounting I have a weird but interesting use-case. I use CIFS to mount shares from a File Server (NetApp, EMC etc) to an application server (win/linux server where my application runs). My application needs to process each of the file from the shares that I mount via CIFS. My application also needs access to the meta-data of these files such as Name, Size, ACLs etc.
I would like to see if I can achieve the same via NDMP. I have some very basic questions regarding this use-case. It would be great if you guys can help me out here.

*

*Is this even something which is achievable?

*Can I transfer only shares that are interesting to me instead of the entire volume?

A: NDMP is essentially an application protocol to control backup/restore operations. The protocol is supple enough to do interesting things like data migration or tape cloning as well.
However it is not a file access protocol so "mounting" anything via NDMP isn't possible unless a NDMP server vendor writes a NDMP extension to do so: which will be a rather silly given there are specialized protocols that do just that.
Hope this helps.

A: NDMP is designed for data management (backup, recovery, etc.) and not as a file access protocol such as CIFS.  If you application is a backup application then yes, you can use NDMP to control and copy subsets of the data from your filer to the application server.  Note that the format of the data will be what the filer provides (via NDMP) and not in your control.  Hope that helps!

John S. Zuber, Jr.
John Stanley Zuber, Jr., 74, of Lincoln, MO, passed away Thursday, July 25, 2019, at Bothwell Regional Health Center.
He was born May 13, 1945, in Kansas City, MO, son of John Stanley Zuber and Ida Colleen (Admire) Zuber Timms.
On November 21, 1964, in Independence, MO, he married Connie Marie (Kester).
John served in the United States Marine Reserves. He worked as a die maker for Union Wire Rope in Kansas City.
John was a creative, talented craftsman. He was a member of the Kansas City Woodworkers Association and was a master tree grafter. John was an avid bow hunter and fisherman, who also enjoyed coaching soccer. His legacy lies with his children and grandchildren's love of him and the out-of-doors.
Surviving are his wife of 54 years, Connie, of the home; two children, Joni Cooper (Brian), of Pensacola, FL, and Michael Zuber (Lianne), of Kansas City, MO; six grandchildren, Hannah Eller (Micah), Mikala Zuber, Abigail Cooper, Sarah Sherrouse (John), XoeAnne Zuber and Jessika Zuber; three sisters, Dixie Haas, Pat Benton (Ralph), and Sue McCollum (Richard); and a brother, Kris Timms (Dana).
He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Daniel Timms; and a sister, Barbara Maxwell.
A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, August 3, 2019, at Black Oak Community Church in Lincoln, MO. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. Burial will be at the family home following the service.
Memorial contributions are suggested to Midwest Transplant Network. Flowers may be ordered through Be Cherished Flower Shop in Cole Camp or the Warsaw Flower Shop.
Cremation arrangements are in the care of Heckart Funeral Home, Sedalia, MO.
My heart is broken for you and your family, Connie. John did so many amazing things in life and touched many hearts. He built Brandon's very first adaptive cane that got him up and walking independently, at 5 years old I thought it was a miracle in itself. He custom built a table (that is still in Bub's bedroom) so he could sit with his classmates and still use his braille writer when his little arms couldn't reach on a standard desk and so many other projects that helped Brandon along the way. He also shared his amazing wife with us for all these years. He will always have a place in our hearts. We love you.
Tony Rodak says:
Sorry to hear about John's passing. I worked with him for 15 years and we fished a little too. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Die Jüdische Elementarschule in Berwangen, einem Ortsteil der Gemeinde Kirchardt im Landkreis Heilbronn im nördlichen Baden-Württemberg, war eine Elementarschule, die von der Jüdischen Gemeinde Berwangen unterhalten wurde. Das badische Judenedikt von 1809 gestattete den jüdischen Gemeinden eigene Schulen zu errichten, sofern sie die Kosten dafür übernahmen.

Die Schule befand sich an der Badersgasse neben der 1845 erbauten Synagoge.

Die jüdischen Elementarschulen wurden mit der Einführung der Simultanschulen im Großherzogtum Baden im Jahr 1876 aufgelöst. Die jüdische Schule in Berwangen wurde bis in die 1920er Jahre als Religionsschule weitergeführt.

Mesh fabric Light Weight--18in x 54in.
25 oz per sq. ft. 100% polyester and specially coated to be less slippery and easy to sew. Terrific for pockets, on bags or anywhere you want to be able to see what you are storing.
100% polyester and has a color fastness/staining rating of 4.5 out of 5. It is therefore very resistant and should not emit any toxic items under normal use. That said, we would always recommend using something like tupperware or plastic bags for actual food, as they are likely to be more hygienic over the long run. The customer would find it difficult to get the mesh fabric perfectly clean, as it is slightly porous.k.

How lockdown gambles are helping Whitefriargate out of the mire
The ailing high street is being helped by people urging others to follow their dreams
Bobbi Hadgraft
Carol Hepworth of Carol's Classic Creations and Lee Gleeson of LW Plants and designs
A Hull businesswoman has told the story of how a friendship between traders led to the opening of their charming shop on Whitefriargate.
And a similar ex-market trader has praised Trinity Market for similarly supporting the realisation of their business vision.
Carol Hepworth, who manages Carol's Classic Creations based in the former Lush premises, also encourages those with a business idea to follow their dreams.
The shop opened last June and combines both Carol's former jewellery and homeware stall in Trinity Market, as well as the distinct Italian clothing sourced and sold by Nicky Ferguson. This forms the Watt2Wear side of the shop.
The pair met two years ago in the Old Town based market while trading independently on stalls opposite each other.
After a successful market spell, the pair, both ambitious in their business plans, fell in love with the prominent property on Whitefriargate.

The former teaching assistant spoke to Hull Live to outline the story behind their gem on Whitefriargate, which resulted from a blossoming friendship.
"We met in Trinity Market two years ago, both being independent traders for a long time," she said.
"Because you work so many hours when you're an independent business person, you work an awful lot of hours and you don't get a lot of time off.
"The odd day we'd say, do you want to take that day off? and one of us would look after both stalls at the same time.
"A trust came out of it, and we both wanted to move onto something bigger. Now this is what has happened!"

Carol discussed the bold move and how, despite "being closed more than they've been open" they have huge hopes for the future.
"Thankfully our customers have been really good. They keep coming back to us and they do support us really well. And we keep getting new customers in," she said.
Carol touched on the partnership which sees their stock take up separate halves of the store: "It works really well. We do have our own customer base but they do tend to cross as well.

"I sell ethically sourced homewares and Nicki does Italian clothing scarves and handbags. With us being independents, stock is always changing."
Further down Whitefriargate, another ex-Trinity Market trader in Lee Gleeson of LW Plants and Design, described how a shot at a market stall led to the ability to leave his former job.
He now manages his business vision full time.
"We started it in Trinity Market as a bit of a trial to see if it worked in the city centre. Me and my partner were both in full time jobs still, but it worked well.

"Trinity Market is great for start up businesses and I'd recommend people to do it. Trinity helped get the entrepreneur [in me] going."
The distinct plant shop and café opened on Whitefriargate last October in the former Ann Summers premises.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Hotham's Gin School of Hepworth's Arcade will move into the previous HSBC bank opposite LW's store.
Lee outlined why he believes Whitefriargate will become "the place to be".
He said: "It will become the next Humber Street. You've got the HSBC building being converted into a cocktail bar.
"We're potentially looking for another premises in the area to do a bar and restaurant at some point."

Perhaps the most blatant was seen in Elephant Room 2 with Word Faith mogul T.D. Jakes ushered into heart of the church visible. Later I showed you that James MacDonald Was A Bit Late In Mainstreaming T.D. Jakes; turns out fellow ER2 member Dr. Jack Graham beat him to it.
Here CRN Associate Editor Erin Benziger of Do Not Be Surprised… brings to our attention another example of this creeping compromise with Brian Houston, co-pastor of the nefarious Hillsong Church Australia with wife pastrix Bobbie, bringing his Word Faith mythology to the SBC church of Rick Warren, General of the Seeker Driven Army.
Of course we really shouldn't be surprised as I told you back in July in Joel Osteen Moving One Step Closer To Mainstream Evangelicalism that Warren is set as speaker once again at Houston's annual Hillsong Conference this year right along with Word Faith prosperity preacher Joel Osteen.
It is true that many contemporary "praise songs" have emerged from the Sydney megachurch, which now boasts campuses across the globe. Some would also claim that Hillsong has been known to propagate a seeker-driven version of the prosperity gospel.
Hillsong is co-pastored by Brian Houston and his wife, Bobbie. One may presume that a Southern Baptist such as Rick Warren would avoid lending credence to a group that appears to ignore the biblical mandate against women as pastors as found in Scripture in places such as 1 Timothy 2:12 and 1 Timothy 3:1–7.
Just this year, however, Warren's own wife, Kay, preached an entire sermon series during weekend services. Kay Warren also led services at Saddleback just this past November. Clearly, then, Rick Warren is not averse to women in the pulpit, teaching biblical truth to mixed audiences.
In fact, Warren recently invited popular and prominent Hillsong personality, Christine Caine to preach at his church. Caine spoke during Saddleback's weekend services on 6 and 7 October, helping to further her growing popularity within professing evangelical circles.
It appears that this latest invitation to Brian Houston of Hillsong only strengthens Warren's apparent endorsement of the Hillsong ministry.

San Manuel Casino opened as a bingo hall on July 24, 1986. In 1994 the bingo hall expanded to a 100,000 square foot casino with slot machines and card games.
The casino, operated by the tribe's San Manuel Entertainment Authority, has evolved over the last 35 years. After the original bingo hall opened in 1986, a floor for card games and 300 slot machines was added in 1994, followed by an addition in 2001 that boosted the number of slot machines into the thousands.
The San Manuel Entertainment Authority ("SMEA") wholly owns and operates Yaamava' Resort & Casino.
The logo symbolizes an important part of San Manuel's history in the region and pays homage to its heritage and culture, the tribe said. "Today marks a new chapter of rebirth and boundless potential, so we have given our property a new name—Yaamava'—the Serrano word for 'spring,'" said Chairman Ken Ramirez.

With over 5,000 slot machines and 140 tables games, with jackpots reaching over $500K, our Casino is a premier gaming casino.
Today, the Shakopee Mdewakanton are believed to be the richest tribe in American history as measured by individual personal wealth: Each adult, according to court records and confirmed by one tribal member, receives a monthly payment of around $84,000, or $1.08 million a year.

Based on recent history, one would imagine the Los Angeles Kings would be the more poised team and take both games at Staples Center to kick off the first-round series against the Sharks — not the other way around.
Indeed, it was the Sharks — perennial poor playoff performers — who showed control over the two-time Stanley Cup champions, clamping down on defense and swarming the Kings for a 2-1 win on Saturday night to take a 2-0 series lead.
The Sharks took advantage of the flustered Kings team. With San Jose up 1-0 midway through the second period, the Kings committed two penalties on the same sequence; Milan Lucic was called for charging and Tyler Toffoli for roughing. On the ensuing 5-on-3 power play, Logan Couture put home a rebound into a gaping net for a 2-0 Sharks' lead, as Jonathan Quick was out of position after initially denying Joe Pavelski with a spectacular save.
This post has been updated with quotes and post-game material from the Sharks dressing room at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
On the other end, Martin Jones made several big stops on a penalty kill late in the period to keep the Kings off the scoreboard heading into the third.
The Kings cut the lead in half with five minutes to play in the third period as Vincent Lecavalier deposited a loose puck off a net mouth scramble into the net on the power play.
The Sharks, though, killed off four of the five Kings' power plays on the night and limited them to few scoring chances. And following the Lecavalier goal, they stood tall, holding off a late push by the Kings to even the score.
Pavelski, who had two goals in Game 1, picked up right where he left off with a goal less than four minutes into the game, firing a wrist shot home from the right faceoff circle to give the Sharks an early 1-0 lead. Just like in Game 1, it was the first shot of the game for the Sharks, and it was also Pavelski's goal.
The Sharks controlled much of the first period, outshooting the Kings 7-5 and not allowing them much space or time in their defensive zone. The Kings, frustrated, ramped up the intensity with hard hits. Luke Schenn was called for interference after crushing Tomas Hertl at center and Dwight King earned a roughing penalty on Roman Polak.
San Jose failed to add on in its two power plays in the first period, however. Couture was denied twice: once by Quick with the glove and again by a sliding Schenn, who took away an open net.
But they got just enough goals to skate away from Los Angeles with two games in hand. Still, the players are skeptical the series is close to over.
Additionally, the Sharks will have to win at SAP Center, where they have uncharacteristically struggled this season, finishing with a below .500 record.

Haitians Have 18 Months Before Protected Status Is Canceled
By Nadege Green
Published November 21, 2017 at 3:29 PM CST
ELISE HU, HOST:
Across the United States, the news that nearly 60,000 Haitians will lose their temporary protected status is sinking in. That designation allowed Haitians to stay in the U.S. legally after the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti. About half of them live in Florida. This week, the Trump administration announced Haitians with TPS have an 18-month window to obtain legal status or return to Haiti before facing deportation. Reporter Nadege Green of member station WLRN talked with one Haitian family in Miami.
NADEGE GREEN, BYLINE: Lagranda Jeune is 7 years old.
LAGRANDA: I feel confused.
GREEN: She's confused because she was born in the U.S., but her mom was born in Haiti, and she has TPS, temporary protected status.
LAGRANDA: If you had a mother and just a daughter, and the mother got deported from the child, what would happen to the child?
GREEN: Her mom, Yolink Jeune, hasn't talked about that yet with her daughter.
YOLINK JEUNE: I don't even speak to the whole family yet to have something set up for us. But it's something that's coming. I don't really make any plans right now.
GREEN: Jeune says she's hoping that Congress can still help before she has to have that hard conversation with her 7-year-old. She and her daughter were in Washington, D.C., yesterday to talk to lawmakers about how ending TPS would devastate families. A bipartisan group of lawmakers from South Florida introduced a bill to create a path to permanent residency for all TPS holders from Haiti, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras. Congresswoman Frederica Wilson says she thinks this bill has a chance, despite President Donald Trump's anti-immigrant stance.
FREDERICA WILSON: He has a base that wants everybody deported. We have a base that disagrees. So we will energize our base, and we will win.
GREEN: During his presidential campaign, Trump made a stop in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood, telling Haitians he would champion their cause. Wilson says ending TPS shows that wasn't true. Seven-year-old Lagranda says she wants her mom to stay with her in the U.S. and...
LAGRANDA: For President Trump to go deep down in his heart to realize how bad people are feeling when they get deported from their children.
GREEN: In Florida, a little more than 30,000 Haitians are now figuring out what's next. For NPR News, I'm Nadege Green in Miami. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

That's the story about the new iPhone 3G that Apple is selling, and it's a line that was echoed by Apple VPs and industry analysts in the Moscone West spin room after Steve Jobs' keynote Monday.
But it's not that simple. There were a lot of financial details Jobs left out of his keynote that only emerged later in the day, in a 8-K form Apple (AAPL) filed with the SEC and a long press release issued by AT&T (T).
It means the iPhone has a new business model.
When the device was first introduced, Jobs was able to dictate some rather unusual terms. Customers had to pay full retail price for it (a practice almost unheard of in the mobile phone industry) and carriers had to share a sizable cut of their monthly revenue with the manufacturer (also virtually unprecedented).
This is a big change. Gone is that nice revenue sharing deal where Apple socked it away as deferred income over the life of a 24-month contract — a comfortable cushion against lean quarters in the company's future, should they ever arise.
Gone too is the nice iPhone bonanza AT&T got upfront last summer by selling all those 8GB iPhones for $599 each (minus a small commission, perhaps $80, to Apple).
But don't cry for AT&T. As its press release made clear, it's going to make up for that by raising the $20 monthly fee customers pay for unlimited data services to $30. That works out to $240 extra over the life of a two-year contract.
"Half the price," it turns out, actually costs customers $40 more.
But most people look only at the purchase price when they buy cell phones, and at $199 for the 8GB model, the iPhone is going look a whole lot more affordable to a lot more people. Munster, for one, believes that Apple will more than make up in volume what it's losing in revenue sharing.
And what about his famous prediction that Apple will sell 45 million iPhones in 2009 — a number that he acknowledges is "way ahead of the Street"? Munster is not raising that target, but admits he's "increasingly comfortable" with it.

Major incidents matter; some questions for governors to consider/ask
A few months ago I attended a workshop on helping protect against and preparing for a terrorist attack. After the events in Manchester and London I thought it may help other governors if I shared the notes I had made at the workshop. These are my notes and should be read as just that. Do contact your local police for any specific advice you may need. During the workshop we discussed scenarios and came up with various questions we should be asking ourselves in order to prepare for any eventuality. These questions are an aid to start thinking of how prepared we are and what else we may need to do. There are no right or wrong answers as the answers to these questions will depend on your setting.
Classification of Levels of threat:
Critical: Attack expected immediately (issued for a short period of time as it's difficult to maintain over a long period)
Severe: Attack is highly likely
Substantial: Strong possibility of an attack
Moderate: Attack possible but not likely
Low: Attack unlikely
Threats we face:
Mass casualty attacks.
There will probably be no warnings
Crowded places are more likely to be targeted
Attack may be through person or vehicle borne devises
Methods are constantly evolving
Places attractive to terrorists:
These are places where they can blend in, places where they can predict procedures, public places. Schools are all of the above. We need to assess where we are most vulnerable. We need to be able to prevent people coming in, protect the items we work with being used (like chemicals in our labs) and prevent our reputation being our greatest risk.
Scenario: There's been an attack in the town centre. What will you do?
How will you know there has been an attack in your town centre? Can you share information quickly with other local schools? Is there a television in the school which is on all the time and tuned to a news channel? Police will have other priorities and informing schools will not be at the top of their list.
What is our responsibility to students/staff who may be out of school? Can we check if they are ok? Do we have the capability to do this?
What will we tell parents who may call the school having heard of the incident?
Have a holding statement ready, something along the lines of: "Yes, we are aware that an incident has taken place. We are in the process of assessing the situation and will put updates on the website".
Put information on the website.
Put a pre-recorded message on the phone, something along the lines of: "Yes we know about the incident. We are taking steps to ensure that our students and staff are safe. Please look at the website for further updates."
Consider lockdown. Are we able to lockdown our establishment? Primary schools may be able to do this more easily than secondary ones. If we do have a lockdown then will students who are off site be able to return?
How will you inform staff who are in different classes/places?
One attendee told us about a new system in her school. There are speakers in every room. There is a central button which is pressed and the announcement is made through the speakers. The message is a pre-recorded one. In her school the message is, "Will all staff please respond to a Code Blue". The staff have practised this and know how to respond. Another option is to use a klaxon. Newer fire alarm systems have different broadcasts which can be used
Whose responsibility is to put out the message? Is it head alone? What training have the staff received?
How will staff communicate the message to the students in the class?
Do you have a media person whose responsibility it would be to respond to the media?
Consider having a "Decision Log" which would record all the steps taken. This may be of great importance, especially if decisions are challenged at a later date.
Remember mobile phones may go down. Landlines usually hold
Responsibilities which used to fall to the LA now fall to the Board of Trustees, so make arrangements to inform them. They may even deal with the media for you.
Scenario: After the incident in the town centre a car drives into school, hits a wall and explodes. What will you do in this situation?
COSH: Are your chemicals in danger of exploding?
Are there casualties? If these are taken to the hospital then will a staff member go with them?
Make 999 call. There should be one person whose responsibility it is to make the call. He/she then comes back and reports that the call has been made. Tell them which services you need. Make sure you give as much information as you can. For example: A car has driven into school and exploded. There is a burst water mains and electric cables are down. Building is probably unstable. The main access in blocked but you can come in through the alternate route which is xxx. There is a fire in the science block which is located xxx (they won't know where your science block was).
Don't put your safety at risk. It's human nature to go to help. Don't become a victim and help others only if it's safe for you to do so. Assess the scene. Remember SAD CHALETS:
Survey, Assess, Disseminate-Casualties, Hazards, Access, Location, Emergency Services (required), Type of incident, Safety
It may take 10-15 minutes for the police to arrive as they will be dealing with the incident in the town centre. Ambulance will take longer to arrive
If possible give a map of the site to the emergency services when they arrive
This is a major incident. Are your first aid boxes enough to deal with this situation? Consider having few "Major Incident First Aid Kits" on the site.
If you are the person who is surveying the site then deputise someone else to ring 999 and ask him/her to come back and tell you that the call has been made
What if your chain of command has been taken out/is unable to respond? Who takes over?
90-95% of injuries in a blast are due to flying glass.
Effects of blast
Blast wave
Fire wall
Brisance (shattering)
Primary fragments
Secondary fragments
Ground shock
Look at what type of glass there is in your building. Laminated glass holds and reduces casualties
If you are planning an invacuation area (where you would go in a lockdown), then it may be an idea to get a blast engineer to evaluate the area and asses suitability
Scenario: Automatic weapons
Intel says an attack with automatic weapons in unlikely in the UK.
More likely is an attack with a bladed weapon or a single shot weapon
What cover is available to you (a) from view (b) from fire? Steel work is obviously better as cover from fire but you will have to do what you can with what you have ("when you've got no choice, then that's your choice").
Government advice is to Run, Hide, Tell
Assess your school
Can you run with 30 students?
Is there a good place to hide?
Can your access controls keep people out?
When police arrive, follow their orders/instructions immediately. Don't give them reason to suspect that you are one of the "bad guys"
Other points to consider:
Do you have an emergency plan which deals with the above?
Are all staff aware of the plan? Have they had training/drill?
Do you have a prepared holding statement?
Do you have a designated person to contact the emergency services?
Do you have a designated person who will deal with the media?
Have you thought about how to deal with staff/students who may be off site if you have a lockdown?
Do you have means of contacting every classroom and every place on your site where you may have staff and students?
How/what will you tell the students?
If you have casualties who have to be taken to the hospital then will a staff member go with them?
Are your first aid boxes enough to deal with this situation?
What cover is available to you (a) from view (b) from fire?
Do you have a major incidents kit, Hi vis jackets for chain of command?
Is there a map of the school for emergency services that includes where equipment is contained?

What Does Revelation 3:5 Mean?
They were obviously regenerate individuals, for only those that are saved by grace through faith in Christ, can be addressed as members of Christ's Body - which is the Church. However, they lacked any sign of godly living and were not carrying out the work that God had prepared for them to do. They were not abiding in Christ and walking in spirit and truth, and they were accused by Jesus of being spiritually dead in their Christian life.
These Christians were obviously not physically dead, and lying in their graves. And as members of the Church, which is the Body of Christ, they were not spiritually dead in their trespasses and sins. However, their soul-life was fruitless. They were abiding in the world instead of abiding in Christ. And in their worldly carnality, they were producing dead works of the flesh, which God will never accept. These saints were not being progressively sanctified, but were stuck in spiritual babyhood.
Though members of Christ's Body, with the indwelling Spirit of God, these Christians were deprived of the life and power of God. They were living a carnal, unproductive, fruitless Christian life, and grieving the Holy Spirit, like the saints in first Corinthians. They were not growing in grace and maturing in the faith. They were not permitting the Spirit of God to lead and guide them in their Christian walk. These believers had, in fact, adopted the way of the world and were spiritually impotent.
They were still spiritual babes, who were stunted in growth and had been lulled into a false sense of comfortable security. The world did not consider the message they shared to be dynamic and powerful, for they had compromised the word of truth! The true message of the cross, is sharper than a two-edged sword and an offence to a sin-sick world, and should have been the watchword of these believers - but it was silenced, for they had compromised their faith.
They were incapable of growing into mature men and women of God, unless they changed their ways, became spiritually alert and began a progressive move towards sanctification. Christ challenged them to wake up from their spiritual slumber and religious disinterest. He exhorted them to give some evidence of spiritual life.
A born-again Christian can only grow in grace OR regress in their spiritual life. Most in the Church at Sardis appeared to be in spiritual infancy. However, we DO see, among their congregation, a very small remnant of believers who were walking in spirit and truth. And so the whole church was challenged to be watchful, to think, and to change their ways, so that the Church would not become totally ineffective.
They were encouraged to change their ways with a wonderful promise.. He who overcomes will thus be clothed in a white garment; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. The righteous acts of the saints, are described as fine linen they wear.. pure and bright. These righteous acts are carried out in the power of the indwelling Spirit. They are the good works, which are done in God's strength and become our heavenly garments of righteousness.
Some use this verse to suggest that a truly, born-again Christians can have their names blotted out of the book of life - and yet in reality it teaches the exact opposite. John teaches, in many passages, that ALL born-again believers are overcomers and all will stand before the Bema seat of Christ. Not one will be blotted out of His book, because Scripture states, in multiple passages, that it is not what we do that saves us, but believing in Christ and trusting in what HE did on Calvary. Our sins were judged at the cross and by faith in Him we have already received forgiveness of sins and life everlasting However it is our works that are judged at the Bema seat of Christ.
Even when a Christian lives in carnality, God will never go back on His promises, for He cannot deny His name, nor can He break His Word. However, the Bible teaches that believers who live their life in carnality, will suffer the loss of any reward, which they could have won, by living as the Bible instructs - i.e. by dying to the carnal self and presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice, unto the Lord.
The Bible teaches that ALL born-again believers will be saved, but those that lived in carnality, like the saints in Sardis... will be saved, 'yet as though by fire,' Although saved.. they will suffer the loss of reward and be denied the praise that Christ could have given them by acknowledging them before His heavenly Father and the holy angels - if they had only been obedient to their calling.
May we be like the faithful few in the Church at Sardis that remained faithful to their calling and did not defile their garments. May we live our lives in obedience to God's Word and keep our robes clean through daily cleansing, and godly works of the spirit.. so that we will receive the additional rewards - "of gold, silver and precious stones', that are promised to those that do not defile their garments through worldly carnality - but are a true and living witness to the wonderful gospel of grace.

Ali- Beyond the Ring
Ali – beyond the ring
Powerful and immersive, Ali- beyond the ring combines spoken word, dance, boxing, Afro-American singing, original footage of Ali's fights, animation, pyrotechnics and 1970s black pop music. This is a semi-autobiographical exploration of identity, race, religion, and war, is intentionally alienated to reflect struggles of other regions with special reference to contemporary Indian realities.
Center for contemporary art (C4CART) depicts on the stage, the legendary boxing hero Muhammad Ali. This play will focus mainly in three areas his fight against racism, his conversion to Islam and the fight against US Government over the Vietnam War. The story unfolds his raise from a normal boy to the great boxing champion and then to a model humanist. This romantic heroic plot will be set as rhythmic physical performance. The play starts with the lighting of Atlanta Olympic torch by a shivering Ali and then to his childhood challenges and the dramatic spark to learn fighting to beat the thief who took away is bicycle. Throughout the play, the music band gives the socio-political reflection during the civil right movement. Then play develops to winning Olympic medal and then throwing it to Ohio River as an outburst over racial discrimination'. His heavyweight championship fights and conversion to Islam. Ali's fight with the United States government for the right not to participate in the Vietnam War is detailed in the climax of the play.
The play will be staged to environmental theatre design. Conceptually the form is near to theatre of cruelty. A team of musicians will be performing live throughout the play to capture Ali's passion for Afro-American music. Rhythmic movements will provide seamless transitions for emotional continuity for the play. The musical genre of play shall be a blend of rhythm & blues and reggae. The intentional alienation in music with struggle songs originated from different parts of the world will place the highlight of the form.

The HSE recommends early intervention for all work-related ill health as a key aspect of ensuring the best outcome for the employee and the employer. It's important to protect an individual who has a suspected occupational skin disease from further exposure while the cause or causes of the symptoms are investigated and identified. Once an employee has developed a skin problem, exposure must be controlled to prevent further skin problems and the employee should avoid contact with the substance. As a last resort, the employer may have to consider if the employee should be given a new role.
When an employee develops a skin disease, they should be put in touch with the employer's occupational health service (occupational physician or occupational nurse). If the employer doesn't have an occupational health service, the employee should be advised to consult their GP. It's important that the employee can provide information about their work and the materials they handle so that the health practitioner can make an informed judgment about the likely cause and prescribe appropriate treatment.
It's important that you investigate skin problems thoroughly to identify the causes and prevent further exposure. Occupational physicians and dermatologists can help you identify and manage skin problems. They may use patch testing as a way of identifying whether a particular substance is causing allergic contact dermatitis. Occupational hygienists can also help you identify and control risks.
If you have a skin problem, you should tell manager and/or safety representative immediately. You should also speak to your manager and/or safety representative if controls aren't working. This includes using gloves that are worn or inappropriate for the work you do. It's important that you have a skin check-up and attend health surveillance sessions if your employer asks you to.


Social network giant Facebook has officially unveiled its Canvas app platform which was first announced in September last year.
Basically, Canvas is a platform that allows you to create an ad-based app using a combination of videos, still images and call-to-action buttons. The Canvas is technically much bigger than the phone screen. The user is able to navigate the app by a simple swipe in various directions.

Elon students works as campaign manager for local politician
By zstephenson2 | 9/16/14 10:00am
Election day is less than two months away, and while most students educate themselves about political platforms, one Elon student does more to help a local politician.
Sophomore Gabriel Corbett is the campaign manager for school board candidate and Assistant Bursar Jeremy Teetor. Corbett heard of the opportunity through recent Elon graduate Joe Bruno. Once the opportunity was brought to his attention it wasn't long before he got the job.
"I met with Jeremy a couple days later, and was given the job right on the spot," Corbett said.
Corbett's goal is to learn as much about politics as he can, and this experience was a great way to do that.
"I feel like this is a great way to do that because its real experience you can't get inside of the classroom," Corbett stated.
Candidate Teetor's main initiative if elected is to help the teachers of Alamance County.
Teetor said, "We would concentrate on doing this to reduce class sizes, provide materials that they need, and also by doing things to reduce the local pay."
Corbett not only believes in what Teetor plans to implement if elected, he has personal ties with the issues as well.
"I come from a family of teachers," Corbett said. "My aunt is a professor at Clemson, my grandparents have been high school teachers, so its something that I am very passionate about."
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POaGT_OKF6I&noredirect=1&h=315&w=560]
That passion is what Corbett said pushes him to work hard on the campaign. Campaign management is a time commitment, especially for a student who balances academics and extracurriculars.
"I knew it was gong to be difficult, I knew it was going to be a time commitment," Corbett said. "I knew it was going to require a lot of my focus."
The amount of time Corbett spends on this campaign varies each week, depending on what they have planned. According to Corbett, the most time he has spent on the campaign in one week is 15 hours.
Spending so much time with the candidate, Corbett and Teetor have developed a great relationship and will continue to stay in touch even after the election is over.
That relationship has allowed Corbett to correct and suggest ideas to Teetor if need be.
"There were some things that he used to say in his two to three minute speech to voters that I didn't think was necessary, so I told him to cut that out and focus on another point," Corbett said.
When Election Day hits, Corbett's work will not be done. He used this experience as his Experiential Learning Requirement and has some classwork to do before the course is completed.
Looking back over the last eight months, Corbett is extremely pleased with the experience overall. He said that the campaign management position was what he expected.

These two entries into my "been read" pile are on opposite sides of the spectrum, both in scope, length, and depth. However, both did contribute to my understanding and I did end up purchasing one of them.
This is a slim volume that contains several "snapshots" of outreach programs and services from the United States created by the Office for Literacy and Outreach Services (now Office for Diversity, Literacy, and Outreach Services). Each part focuses on a different aspect of outreach, beginning with a short introduction and followed by relevant "snapshots". This book covers a wide array of possible services, but does not provide in depth descriptions of the creation, implementation, and evaluation of these services. That being said, I was writing down the ideas that interested me and by the end had a lengthy list.
Being an older volume, this is cheap to pick up used online. I got it for $.88 from Better World Books and the shipping was $3.99.
You can also view large portions through Google Books.
If you are looking for inspiration for outreach services in a public or academic library, this could prove useful. If you want a step by step description on how to implement these programs in your library, it won't give you what you need. However, you can take the information in the book and contact these libraries to start a conversation.
This is a long volume that is focused on the aspects of collection development and management. It goes in depth on the topic, providing a historical context for the topic at the beginning and considering all library types throughout each topic. This is prime textbook material, which may be why you can't get it on Amazon currently (as the semester has started). I acquired mine through the library and suggested it for inclusion in the soon to be developed professional collection at my library.
This can be used by a wide variety of librarians and information professionals. It takes into consideration how professional values influence the collection development and management. There are many sources cited and suggested readings listed for further context and information.
Whereas From Outreach to Equity was a quick read, this will take more time to consume. The amount of information and the textbook tone require more focus.
Overall, it is valuable for anyone looking to get a well developed idea of what collection development and management can entail. It is the most recent edition of the book and therefore fairly recent.
Here is a link to the Google Books preview, which provides a eBook copy for $48.


On March 10, Director General Cao Wenlian met with Chairman of SEE Conservation Qian Xiaohua and had in-depth discussions on strategic cooperation on poverty alleviation, green industries and other areas.
Cao gave introductions of the ICC and briefed Qian and other visitors on the center's efforts invested in social responsibilities, poverty alleviation and etc. He also said that the center was looking forward to jointly promoting the South Xinjiang desertification control project in cooperation with SEE Conservation. The two sides reached consensus on the signing of relevant strategic cooperation agreements and field-investigation to Hetian in July.
Deputy Director General Song Gongmei, Executive Director Ma Lan and Liang Jie from the Office of Social Responsibilities were also at the meeting.


How about having a personal health care manager for your family members' especially elderly parents? It is true that elderly or sick people need an extra care and no place can be better than home. When they are ill, recovering from a surgery or injury they want to stay in a relaxed environment. It is not surprisingly anymore than 90% of senior adults want to age at home. Even health experts have agreed that it is much healthier and fulfilling. This is because there are many people who suffer from variety of physical and mental issues.
