Hi, I'm Vanessa Sage, Ph.D., and I've been immersed in the women's spirituality movement for over 20 years! I've led six cycles of women in Priestess training, and am so excited to be bringing the next level of the program to you.
I'm a poet at heart, have written a book of poetry, and also run a tarot school.
I love finding wonder in my everyday life, and comfort in a good book and a cup of tea.
I have a Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from McMaster University and have published scholarly articles on Goddess Pilgrimage in Glastonbury, England and The Romantic Movement's Influence on Contemporary Paganism.
As a cultural anthropologist, with a deep love and respect for many cultures, I understand culture as multiple, complex, not fixed, and in constant change. You will see different cultural influences showing up in my work. I view this as a strength.
Over the course of my 10-year academic career, I studied: Buddhism, goddess spirituality, pilgrimage, contemporary paganism, and how hope for a city was embodied in an arts scene.
I walk this path with you.
And am a highly sensitive introverted empath.
You'll notice that I talk about the Goddess, drum at the beginning of circles, invite you to be seen and heard, and have a very intuitive participatory teaching style. All the feelings are welcome and there's a lot of laughter when we meet.
I'm an Earth-Centred Priestess who follows a Goddess Path.
You'll be invited to go on journeys and participate in rituals.
I care deeply about mindful compassionate leadership and am a practicing Buddhist. I'm committed to building enriching, conscious and thriving community based on the principles of love, compassion, kindness, and respect.
I'm body positive and am committed to providing a welcoming space for people of all ages, cultural, racial, ethnic, and economic backgrounds, as well as sexual orientations and gender identities in my programs.
Read More About Me and My Approach HERE!
I have begun to frame my work as a teacher as a sacred practice, and have been utilizing the tools I have learned in this program to support children and families. I am expanding into sharing the full spectrum of my gifts with the world and showing up as my whole self.
I am diving deeper into my magical practices, including plant medicine, tarot, and ritual. I have plans to offer these gifts to a wider audience in the future. I have begun to truly honour my own voice as unique and necessary.
I can't begin to express how much I have enjoyed being a part of the Sage Priestess certification course. The knowledge that has been shared by amazing Goddesses/Priestesses from around the World, has been such a gift. There has been much work to do inward, a reflection of my Self and as much as I sometimes balk at doing the work, it is ALWAYS worth it and necessary.


growing dependence on surface water resources in the Prairie Provinces has resulted in an increasing vulnerability to hydrological drought. A serious risk from recent and projected climate warming in the Canadian Prairies is a shift in the amount and timing of streamflow. The Souris River Basin has, over the years, been plagued with problems associated with either inadequate water supplies and flooding, both of which affect the social and economic well being of the residents of the Souris River Basin. Managing for the greater range of hydrologic variability evident in proxy records versus gauged, hydrometric records can prepare water managers for adaptation to climate change. Fourteen (2 previously collected and 12 new) moisture sensitive tree-ring sites were chosen and 37 chronologies (annual, earlywood, and latewood) were developed and used to create robust multi-proxy reconstructions of annual water year (October – September) and summer (June – August) streamflow for four gauges within the Souris River Basin. Multiple linear regressions were able to account for ~54-76% and ~38-67% of the instrumental variance for water-year and summer flows, respectively, extending the historical record as far back as 1726, for a total of 280 years. Hydrological extremes were quantified and classified as abnormally wet years being in the 75th percentile, while discharge in the lowest 25th percentile were considered as drought years, with the most severe episodes indicated by flows in the lowest 10th percentile. Water year flows indicate that the most severe low flow events took place in the late 1810s, mid 1830s, 1860s, late 1890s to early 1900s, and again in the mid 1950s. Streamflow reconstructions for the Souris Basin capture the low flow events occurring during the late 1880s through the 1890s (the "Great Die-Up"); as well as another event known as one of the most severe and long lasting reconstructed droughts from 1841 through 1865, the drought of the late 1790s through the early 1800s, and the occurrence of "El Año del Hambre" – the year of hunger, during the late 1780s , as well as during the 12 year period from the 1750s to early 1760s. Spectral analyses provide evidence that streamflow variability in the Souris River Basin is driven by a combination of interannual (~2-6 year), interdecadal (~7-11 year), and multidecadal (~20-30 year) ocean-atmosphere oscillations, such as indices of ENSO, solar sunspot cycles, and PDO, respectively. Correlation analyses, cross-wavelet transforms and wavelet transform coherence identify significant periods of high common power and coherence of high, interdecadal, and low frequency oscillation relationships of streamflow with ENSO, solar sunspot cycles, and PDO indices, respectively. When these sea-surface temperatures and atmospheric oscillations are coupled, and in-phase with each other, it may lead to more prolonged and possibly greater in magnitude extremes than when climate anomalies are out of phase, resulting in a relatively modest influence of streamflow variability.

Junior forward nets lone goal, sending Scots to PSAC semis
Wednesday, November 4th, 2015 at 8:32 PM
By Mike Fenner
Published in: Vol. 115, No. 10
Alex Brown scored the lone goal of the match, giving Edinboro a 1-0 win against Kutztown on Tuesday afternoon.
Winning their fourth straight match, the fourth- seeded Edinboro women's soccer team defeated visiting fifth-seeded Kutztown, 1-0, on Tuesday afternoon at Sox Harrison Stadium in the quarterfinals of the PSAC women's soccer tournament.
The Fighting Scots, who earned their way to their sixth straight PSAC tournament appearance with a 2-1 win at IUP last week, are headed to the conference semifinals in Erie on Friday.
"I guess it just means we'll be in the semis, right? We want to win it all," head coach Gary Kagiavas said about Tuesday's win. "We are excited about the whole competition and the winning of the PSAC, but realistically, what we've done is moved to the next round. I'm really excited for the kids. I think it also secures an NCAA spot for us. It's pretty exciting times right now, actually."
After having fallen to the Golden Bears (11-6-1) by a 2-0 count exactly 364 days ago, across the state at Kutztown, the Fighting Scots (13-6) were able to right the ship with their second win this season against their conference foe.
"Oh absolutely, especially because last year we went there, we won, we came back and that's like an eight hour drive, we don't want to go all the way [back] there just to lose and then we did, which really sucked," junior forward Alex Brown said of getting the revenge win against KU.
"To have them come both times and then to win both times was just so awesome, because we didn't want to see them again," she concluded.
Edinboro broke a scoreless tie in the 66th minute of the match behind the left foot of Brown, on a shot from about 26 yards out. Brown, scoring her fifth goal of the season, found the top left corner to put the Fighting Scots in front on an unassisted goal.
"It is a lot of pressure, actually and it feels strange, but I know that a lot of people rely on us and we all work for each other," Brown said. "It wasn't even just for me, that goal was for my whole team and [it was] just to keep us going in this conference and it's a tough conference."
On an early November afternoon that featured clear skies and 70 degree weather, the rematch of an earlier regular season tilt between the two conference foes had a little different feel to it according to head coach Gary Kagiavas. Edinboro notched 16 shots in a 4-1 home win over the Golden Bears back on Oct. 17 at a cold, snow dusted Sox Harrison Stadium.
"Last time we beat them 4-1 and the conditions had a lot to do with it," Kagiavas said. "It was snowing and I really don't think they were mentally prepared to play in those conditions, so it was a pretty easy game. We knew in every scouting report we had, they were going to be a tough out. We actually were prepared for any scenario today."
In a scoreless first half, Edinboro outshot Kutztown 6-2 and put up three shots on goal as opposed to just one on the Golden Bears' side.
The Fighting Scots nearly got on the scoreboard on two different occasions in the first frame. First, freshman defender Abby Gillespie shot just high on a free kick within the first two minutes of the match. Next, sophomore midfielder/forward Ashley Mutkus hit the crossbar in the 26th minute that nearly provided points on the Edinboro side.
In a back and forth second half that featured Kutztown operating in Edinboro territory for a good portion of the first 20 minutes in the half, sophomore goalkeeper Sarah Baskey was tested by a Kutztown effort that included five second-half shots.
"She always surprises us a lot," Brown said, with a grin, of Baskey. "I know she plays a bit of a high line and it's like kind of scary, but she does surprise us a lot and it's really great to play with her, especially as a sophomore. That's' really awesome for her."
Baskey, who recorded her fifth shutout win of the season, is now 11-4 in the net this season with a .746 save percentage after coming up with four saves in the win.
"Sarah's been a rock star for a while," Kagiavas said. "She's been carrying us for a long time, but you know, honestly I think defense starts from up top. It doesn't just start at the back. We had a way to shut down number 21 [Sam Busillo], who is supposed to be a really, really good player for them."
Edinboro heads to McConnell Family Stadium in Erie on Friday morning to face the nation's top ranked team in Gannon at 1:30 p.m. The one-loss Golden Knights defeated number 8 Bloomsburg 3-1 on Tuesday to earn the right to host the PSAC Final Four.
The Fighting Scots, who fell at Gannon 4-0 on Oct. 13, are in search of their first PSAC Championship berth in school history.
"I honestly think we're going to be okay against Gannon, I really think we're going to be okay against Gannon," Kagiavas said. "We're organized really well. I think we're going to be ready to go. We'll be prepared for them."

Gravesham Borough Council Gains Analytical Insight
"This project has enabled Gravesham Borough Council to identify issues within our housing stock. Not only has this allowed us to pursue illegal tenancies but it has also provided information to prevent possible frauds occurring"
Graham Cole, Investigations Manager, Gravesham Borough Council
The customer
Gravesham is a local government district and borough in North West Kent, England. Its council is based at the Civic Centre in Gravesend and it has a population of over 100,000.
Each year housing tenancy, benefit and Council Tax fraud such as false entitlement, illegal subletting, lease sell-on and unauthorised succession, cost the UK's local authorities in excess of £1.3bn. Gravesham is no exception to this and wanted to take action to reduce fraudulent activity.
"The government recently asked local councils to crack down on tenancy fraud, particularly subletting false applications and 'key selling'," explains James Flannery, Investigations Manager, Gravesham Council. "One of the most effective ways of identifying fraudulent activity is by undertaking data matching to ensure our own data on tenants corresponds with the reality."
Gravesham had previously used credit reference companies to analyse data, but found that this produced hundreds of results, of which too many were false positives, making the process counter-productive. Gravesham looked to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) for inspiration. HMRC is a long-standing customer of Fujitsu's and has been using the company's Fraud and Error Technology with great success, saving over £200m thanks to the software's ability to identify and flag fake tax credit claims. Fujitsu itself was looking for potential customers that could help it pilot new iterations of its data analytics service.
"The Fujitsu team visited us in their search for a partner to pilot their social housing fraud and error technology software so we gladly volunteered," adds Flannery. "We were aware of other options for data matching companies but for us the data quality was of the utmost importance. We knew with Fujitsu we would be getting highly focused results allowing us to concentrate our resources on high-risk cases. We soon saw tangible results."
Fujitsu's Social Housing Analytics Service, in partnership with Experian, combines leading risk based predictive analytics along with proven data matching techniques to allow Gravesham Council to target its investigative resources effectively.
Initially, Fujitsu ran a kick off session with Gravesham to offer an overview of the analytics service, as well as to explain the inputs required and outputs generated. Gravesham then securely transferred an extract of approximately 5,800 tenancy records from its housing system to Fujitsu based on a standard input template. Using this data, Fujitsu combined data matching services with sophisticated data analytics to provide a high risk 'red list' for Gravesham's Fraud Investigation team.
"We provided Fujitsu with a list of people claiming a particular housing benefit or exemption, which they ran through a series of analytics models. This created a list prioritised by the level of risk represented. By cross-checking this list we could uncover fraud and recover monies owed," continues Flannery." Fujitsu is a great partner. It set out what was needed in terms of data and provided clear guidance on what the resulting analysis meant and how it should be interpreted."
This risk detection service saved Gravesham's benefits investigators the time it would have taken to filter through large batches of data. It also ensured that the fraud investigation team was able to focus on inspecting high-risk properties first. The output included supporting investigation information for each high risk property such as mortality matches, or alternative traced addresses. This data was provided to Gravesham in a clear and easy to use format including a summary spreadsheet, and a case review sheet for each property.
The benefit
As a result of using Fujitsu's Social Housing Analytics Service technology, Gravesham Borough Council was able to help its investigative team to identify over 75 properties where the council made a range of interventions, from repossession of properties to re-housing, updating tenancy agreements and resolving tenancy succession issues. These interventions included eight cases in which council property needed to be repossessed, four properties that were under-occupied and twelve illegal tenancy successions.
"In one case, a tenant had moved out of the borough two years previously and had since held tenancies for two alternative properties," says Flannery. "The tenant had withheld information from the council and unlawfully left her property to family members who were not entitled to it. We are now currently pursuing a case to recover the property."
In another case, a mortality match highlighted a record where a named tenant had passed away six years previously. Further investigation revealed that family members had remained in the house without informing the council, this resulted in a correction of tenancy that has negated a possible illegal succession.
"The Fujitsu solution has not just allowed us to take action against tenants committing crime but, more importantly, it helps us recover properties for people that need them. We had one family in a severely overcrowded property who we were able to rehouse in a more suitable location thanks to this project," comments Flannery. "In total we identified around £108,000 of fraud. That's money that can now be allocated elsewhere for the benefit of the community."
Working with Fujitsu has enabled Gravesham to quickly and effectively identify issues that were not previously visible within its social housing stock. It has also served to highlight elements of traditional routine reviews that were not always effective and is allowing the council to act faster on fraudulent activity.
"This project has enabled Gravesham Borough Council to identify issues within our housing stock. Not only has this allowed us to pursue illegal tenancies but it has also provided information to prevent possible frauds occurring. This has helped our investigators to get on with the job of investigating. The results to date speak for themselves and we will continue to work with Fujitsu to save our tax payers' money."

Sean Stone says 'being vilified' after converting to Islam
New York, Mon, 20 Feb 2012 ANI
New York, Feb 20 (ANI): Oliver Stone's son Sean, who converted to Islam in Iran last week, has said that he is already experiencing a Hollywood backlash.
The ceremony was held in Isfahan, where he is researching a documentary. He now goes by the name of Sean Christopher Ali Stone.
"I've already experienced the reverse of anti-Semitism, having people within the film industry express a reluctance to work with me now that I have said a simple prayer, 'There is no God but God, and Mohammed is his messenger.' I am sure I have [bleeped] off some powerful people," the New York Post quoted the filmmaker as saying.
"Having read the Koran and having been around the Islamic culture, especially in Iran, I do believe that Mohammed is a prophet of the same god worshipped by other religions.
"I am of a Jewish bloodline, a baptized Christian who accepts Christ's teachings, the Jewish Old Testament and the Holy Koran. I believe there is one God, whether called Allah or Jehovah or whatever you wish to name him. He creates all peoples and religions. I consider myself a Jewish Christian Muslim.
"What I am trying to do is open up a dialogue about religion. There is such Islamophobia in the West. Islam is not a religion of violence any more than Judaism or Christianity is," he said.
He said that his dad welcomed the move.
"My dad said, 'Allah be with you.' My father understands that I am trying to bridge certain gaps and bring about peace."
But he has been shocked by the reaction from others.
"I didn't realize I would be so vilified. It is almost like I am a criminal for having accepted Islam.
"I didn't realize Islamophobia was that deep. People have speculated that I have done this because I am from a spoiled family or that I am lost and trying to find myself. That is ridiculous.
"I don't care if I get criticized. If I can open up a debate about religion and create some understanding, then it is worth it," he added. (ANI)

If you look at last year's graphic novel bestseller lists, you might notice something. I mean, East Asian comics are dominating the charts. My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, Chainsaw Man: do these titles sound familiar to you? Dig a little deeper into these lists, and you'll discover other essential milestones, like the fact that the manhwa Solo Leveling is the biggest comic debut of 2021 so far. Putting aside the explosive growth of East Asian comics in the North American market, you might remain confused if you dive into the online discussions of Manga and manhwa. Why? Because these two terms remain often used interchangeably. Which begs the question: what is the difference between manhwa and Manga?
The best obvious distinction between these two types of East Asian comics is their country of origin. For this discussion, Manga refers to comics made in Japan, while manhwa refers to comics made in Korea – more specifically South Korea; manhwa is also made in North Korea, but those comics generally remain inaccessible to an English-speaking audience.
Fifty-two years later, now an ageless immortal, Manji is approached by a young girl named Rin Asano who enlists her help as a bodyguard to help avenge her father's death, Kurose, at the hands of Kagehisa Anotsu and him. Ittō-ryū. A society of samurai assassins that he leads.
Blade of the Immortal's Hiroaki Samura to start the romance manga. The August issue of Kodansha's Afternoon magazine announces Wednesday that Blade of the Immortal creator Hiroaki Samura will launch a romantic manga series in the upcoming July issue.
Similarly, It takes involved characters, a solid plot, and incredible art. But watching this show would be a terrible mistake. But, The Manga surpasses him in every way, and watching Blade of the Immortal will spoil the plot. A lot of time and effort be there invested in doing the manga justice.

It is puzzling that links between Gandhian social philosophy and recent conflict resolution/negotiation literature, especially given the latter's Gandhian 'flavour', have received so little scholarly attention. While there seems to be no direct causal link between the two bodies of knowledge, conflict resolution literature in the guise of modern problem-solving and win-win (as opposed to power-based and zero-sum) approaches leading to integrative conflict resolution (as opposed to mere compromise and distributive outcomes) strongly echoes Gandhi's own writings and the analyses of some Gandhi scholars. This is especially true in the case of non-mainstream writings that see conflict resolution techniques as potentially being about more than the solution of immediate problems, that see a broader personal and societal transformation as the ultimate goal. This article explores these connections and argues that Gandhian satyagraha should be squarely located within conflict resolution discourse.


I'm not so sure I wanna grow up anymore.
The music above is an amazing song from the movie A Little Prince. I spent a good part of my long weekend with friends, catching up on TV series, enjoying some new ones and a movie that brought me to so many tears: A Little Prince. I also watched A Second Chance but I didn't find myself crying over it, mostly just wondering if marriage is really a lot of fighting.
I think a lot about how I go about my days, and whether I'm doing the right thing putting priority to important things. I wonder if all these things I allocate time to, commit to, miss out things for, are actually what's important. I have a great history of not making the best decisions, so I always kind of end up fearing the next step.
The Little Prince reminds us that what's essential, is always beyond what the eye can see. A podcast from church reminds me that true significance can always be found in God, not in material wealth, not in worldly recognition. None of what we have is not really ours. It's a scary and comforting thought at the same time.
And you know the rose? The rose ain't just like any other rose. The rose is special because it's the rose you took care of and loved.


Instead of posting our SDCC update, we have this sad news to share with you. Join us in mourning, fellow Avatar fans, for the passing of a great man. According to the LA Times this morning (thanks to user nfreakct for the link), Japanese actor Mako died Friday from esophageal cancer at the age of 72. You may need to register (it's free) with the LA Times in order to view the article.
The rest of the season two episodes are already completed, so there will be no change in Iroh's voice until next season. That said, Mako did such a wonderful job bringing Iroh to life for the audience that it is hard to imagine anyone else doing his voice. His skill and energy will be sorely missed.
Rest in peace, friend, your life was a blessing for everyone you touched.

Virginia Health System & DrFirst Implement Innovative Electronic Medication Reconciliation Technology
Automated System is the First to Efficiently Incorporate Internal and External Patient Records to Meet Joint Commission Patient Safety Goals
Rockville, MD.
Fauquier Health System of Warrenton, Virginia has announced that it will be the first health system in the nation to pilot an electronic medication reconciliation system that will improve patient safety by automatically incorporating a patient's current prescription information into the hospital environment. Created by DrFirst, RcopiaAC (Acute Care) is a new web-based application that will allow Fauquier to incorporate outpatient medication information into the inpatient setting. While some hospitals are beginning to use internal electronic medical reconciliation, Fauquier will be the first to also track external records.
"This is a very significant first as drug errors are causing a national healthcare challenge. When patients arrive in an emergency department they or their families often can't recall all the medications a patient is taking," said Donna Staton, CIO of Fauquier Health System. "This can open the door for drug interactions or duplicative prescriptions," said Staton. Studies show inconsistent medication knowledge and record-keeping threaten patient safety, causing up to 50 percent of all medication-related errors in hospitals and up to 20 percent of all adverse drug events.
Beyond the toll on an individual's health are drug errors' economic costs. A 2006 Institute of Medicine study found that each preventable adverse drug event that took place in a hospital added $8,750 to the cost of a hospital stay. This translates to higher health costs, over $13 billion annually, when that figure is multiplied by the at least 1.5 million preventable adverse drug events that the Institute Of Medicine said occurred each year.
Fauquier Health System is working with DrFirst of Rockville, Maryland, to implement this groundbreaking patient safety initiative. DrFirst's RcopiaAC electronic medication reconciliation application will compile a Fauquier patient's current prescriptions from various prescription history databases so that any potential new medications can be compared to limit drug interactions. Then, at the end of a patient's stay this list will be reviewed again to help ensure that any prescriptions made at the time of discharge are also without complications, such as duplicative therapy and interactive medications. The prescription information is also provided to the patient and can be electronically accessed by the patient's regular physician to ensure a continuum of care.
Another added safeguard through RcopiaAC is the e-prescribing feature that allows physicians to issue electronic prescriptions, thus avoiding yet another common source of drug errors – poor physician handwriting. "Consumers may not be aware that hospitals can build in this level of patient protection,"
Staton said, "but it is definitely a here and now option. All it requires is a commitment to quality and safety. We first started talking about the concept last year, and we began the pilot program in June with a subset of our nursing staff."
"Even in the short time that this pilot program has been in place we can see that it can make a real and significant difference to patient safety," said Rodger Baker, the CEO of Fauquier Health System. "Once the word is out, I expect that patients will demand this level of protection from all health systems. We are proud to be the industry leader in this patient safety initiative."
"DrFirst is very pleased to have worked with Fauquier Health System on their groundbreaking pilot," said G. Cameron Deemer, President of DrFirst. "We believe that their willingness to invest in their patient's safety will pave the way for improved patient outcomes around the country. We are excited about this advance as well as our future business role in this positive healthcare development."

Рядок, також, застаріле, стрічка — кілька слів, літер або інших знаків, написаних чи надрукованих в одну лінію.

Віршування
Рядок у вірші, верс — основна ритмічна одиниця в усіх системах віршування. Він відділяється від інших рядків графічно. Тому віршована мова, розбита на віршові рядки, й своїм виглядом не подібна до прози. Незалежно від того, чи речення закінчується, чи ні, в кінці рядка під час читання з'являється ритмічна пауза. Ритмічний малюнок рядка залежить від менших його часток (зокрема, стоп і колін), від руху звуків мови, що входять у слова з конкретним значенням. Враховуючи особливості різних мов, витворилися й різні системи віршування:
 метрична (антична)
 силабічна
 силабо-тонічна
 тонічна

У найпоширенішій нині силабо-тонічній системі рядки вірша розбиваються на дво- і трискладові стопи (ямб, хорей, дактиль, амфібрахій і анапест). У рядках, написаних ямбами чи хореями, окремі стопи можуть замінятися пірихіям й або спондеями, урізноманітнюючи ритмічне звучання вірша.

Malone played a small part in organized efforts across the state this year that have boosted the number of newly registered black voters to nearly 240,000, almost 30 percent more than were registered in the 10 months before the 2004 election. Black voters now make up close to a third of Georgia's registered voters. How they turn out in this election — where they're expected in substantial numbers — could decide the state's presidential pick and the U.S. Senate race.
As of Friday, 35 percent of more than 1.76 million Georgia voters who'd cast ballots early were black. That number is a good bit higher than the proportion of black voters in past presidential elections here, where they have made up less than a quarter of the electorate, according to political scientists.
"There's some room to grow there," said Mike Digby, chairman of the department of Government and Sociology at Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville. "I would expect the black voter turnout is going to wind up being higher."
That's important because black voters overwhelmingly pick Democrats — to the tune of more than 90 percent, political experts say. And Barack Obama's historic symbolism to African-Americans could push that percentage even higher this year. A surge in black voters could make Obama the first presidential candidate from his party to win Georgia since Bill Clinton eked out a plurality in 1992.
For many black voters, the impetus to participate has been excitement over Obama's candidacy. That's coupled with a more general dissatisfaction over the economy and Republican leadership during the past eight years. Together, that all fuels expectations of very high black-voter turnout — perhaps enough to decide the state.
Black turnout that boosts Obama likely would trickle down the ballot. That would be a boon for U.S. Rep. Jim Marshall, a conservative Democrat in a tight race with Republican challenger Rick Goddard. Although a poll conducted last weekend put Goddard within four points of Marshall, it also showed the congressman leading his opponent 9-1 among black voters. The implication: If more black residents vote, Marshall won't face so close a race.
If large numbers of black voters boost Obama and Marshall, they'll also undermine the re-election efforts of U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss. The Republican, whose re-election looked like a sure thing six months ago, is now trying to fend off a full court press from the national Democratic Party and his challenger, Jim Martin.
Conventional wisdom suggests an influx of black residents voting for Obama won't help the Republican Senate incumbent.
"It is really hard to imagine what the Obama-Chambliss voter looks like," Grant said.
If one in three Georgia voters who turn out is African-American, "it is a very good thing for the Democrats," said Chris Grant, a Mercer University political science professor. "You would go from under-performing to over-performing. And if it happens, Georgia will definitely be picked up for the Democrats."
There's a history of voters choosing candidates who share their ethnic or religious identity when they're on a major presidential ticket for the first time, Grant said. It happened for Catholic voters and John F. Kennedy in 1960, Italian-Americans and Geraldine Ferraro in 1984 and Jewish voters and Joe Lieberman in 2000.
Al Tillman, the president of the Macon chapter of the NAACP, has seen the increased interest among black voters. Local members worked over the summer to register new voters, a standard part of their mission.
However, Tillman said he was struck by the number of local "mom and pop" businesses — barber shops, Habersham's record store, day care centers — who for the first time also got in on the act. They signed up more new voters than his organization did, Tillman said.
"Everybody was interested in registering people to vote during this particular election," Tillman said. "It makes our job not as hard now. For the most part, we haven't found that many people that are not registered to vote."

Tag legislation
It seems pretty clear to me
August 11, 2018 August 11, 2018 amybisson	Leave a comment
About two weeks ago, the Massachusetts Legislature failed once again to update school funding formulae known as the "Foundation". In my opinion, this is not only a huge disappointment, it is a disservice to students, families, and public schools in 351 cities and towns across Massachusetts.
Here in Lowell, the erosion of school services and supports can be traced in the budget cuts that have been necessary over the last nearly 20 years. In the late 1990s, when an elementary class size reached 25, it was common practice to assign a paraprofessional to that classroom, which allowed for more focused and individualized attention to students. In 2015, my retirement year, my grade level of 100 students and 4 classroom teachers shared 1 paraprofessional.
In the 1990s and early 2000s, elementary school staff included not only a library aide, but a certified Library Media Specialist. The library was a space where students not only learned research skills, but were exposed to wonderfully diverse literature and media curated by the Library Media staff. By the mid-2000s, all but one Library Media specialist was cut from the Lowell Public Schools and school libraries were maintained by Library Media aides. This year, 2018-19, the school budget has cut all library staff in Grades Kindergarten through Grade 8 essentially closing the libraries to any students below Grade 9.
These are but two examples of service cuts in Lowell. There have been many others. Teachers in Lowell spend inordinate amounts of personal money (in my own case, I spent on average of $1,000 each year and some years much more) to supply classrooms. Social workers, Speech and Language therapists, OT, PT, Special Education…. all carry larger-than-reasonable caseloads.
Have municipalities like Burlington or Wellesley cut K-8 library staff and access to school libraries? Of course not. Wealthier communities make up the shortfalls in Foundation funding from their property tax base and a community that is able to afford to allocate more funds toward schools. Does that seem equitable to anyone? (read WBUR's commentary Inaction on School Funding Will Keep Opportunity Gaps in Place.)
What does our Commonwealth say about our schools and the Commonwealth's responsibility to fund education? We only need to look at the Commonwealth's Constitution and this paragraph:
"Wisdom, and knowledge, as well as virtue, diffused generally among the body of the people, being necessary for the preservation of their rights and liberties; and as these depend on spreading the opportunities and advantages of education in the various parts of the country, and among the different orders of the people, it shall be the duty of legislatures and magistrates, in all future periods of this commonwealth, to cherish the interests of literature and the sciences, and all seminaries of them, especially the university at Cambridge [and] public schools and grammar schools in the towns…." Mass. Const. Pt. 2, C. 5, § 2.
As of this writing, the Legislature has failed our schools and our children. They have failed in their duties to "cherish" education and they have failed to provide the funding that would allow ALL public schools across Massachusetts to provide equitable educational opportunities.
We must tell our narratives as parents, students, educators, and community members. We must let our legislators know in no uncertain terms, that to continue to underfund the Foundation Budget Review Commission's recommendations is unacceptable. We need to cherish our schools here in Massachusetts and fix the funding so that every child has access to equitable educational opportunities.
Onerous Regulations….
April 1, 2016 April 1, 2016 amybisson	1 Comment
Yesterday's presentation of the Senate bill proposing a compromise to the Charter School ballot question got a predictable reaction. No one is totally happy, but the unhappiest reactions came from those who advocate lifting the cap on charter schools in Massachusetts – the ones who continue to quote the 34,000 student waiting list even in the face of the State Auditor's report saying that number is unsubstantiated.
This morning's Boston Globe article contains a reaction from pro-Charter spokesperson, Mark Kenen of Massachusetts Public Charter School Association (you'll have to look Dr. Kenen's credentials up on Linkedin yourself). The quote, from the Boston Globe, is:
Marc Kenen, executive director of the Massachusetts Charter Public School Association, added that "it imposes onerous new regulations that will shackle the operation of existing charter schools."
Wait a minute, those "onerous" new regulations, those regulations that will "shackle" operations? Some of these regulations are things such as using enforced suspensions of students as a means to create "school safety". The reliance on suspension over other less-draconian discipline actions have recently come to light nationwide (see UCLA report on Charter School suspension rates here making note of the 44.7% suspension rate at Roxbury Prep).
And then there are those pesky regulations requiring certification of teachers and representation of parents and teachers on governing boards the same standards required for traditional public schools. (For more on governance, see the Annenberg Report, Whose Schools published yesterday).
Wow, if those things are considered onerous, then why not unshackle traditional public schools as well?
Reference to the act, S2203, is found here.

Protesters Warn against War with Iran in San Francisco
نشر في Jan 27, 2020
Hundreds of people have taken to the streets in San Francisco, California, to protest Washington's aggression against Iran, slamming President Donald Trump for his January 3 order to assassinate senior Iranian commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani by a drone strike in Baghdad.
"We are here to show that the people of Bay Area oppose further war in the Middle East," Wassem Hage, an anti-war activist. "We oppose the recent military aggression the Trump administration has chosen to take against Iran. We opposed troops involved in Iraq. We want all troops out of Iraq."
The protest on Saturday afternoon was organized by local activist groups including Arab Resource and Organization Center (AROC) and Bay Resistance.
It followed heightened tensions with Iran after the assassination of General Soleimani, the commander of the IRGC's Quds Force.
The protesters, a mix of college students and activists, held up anti-war signs and chanted slogans against the Trump administration.
"We want the repeal the AUMF which allows president of the United States to act in the Middle East with impunity, to commit acts of violence and war without any accountability to the people," Hage said, referring to the authorization for use of military force which paved the way for the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
The Trump administration has argued that the Iraq AUMF empowered President Trump to order the drone strike against Gen. Soleimani.
Similar protest rallies were held in Washington DC and Wisconsin.
People gathered outside Wisconsin's Capitol Building to oppose the Trump administration's aggressive policy towards Tehran.
Speakers at the event said, while tensions between Iran and the US have somewhat settled, the US is still engaging in economic warfare with Iran.
"It's easy to see violence as being bombs and bullets but it's harder to see it as people being unable to get certain kinds of food or medicine they need and that's what the US sanctions do," said PSL representative Sawyer Johnson.
Meanwhile, the peace advocacy group CODEPINK is collecting American signatures for an open letter apologizing to the Iranian nation of the US aggression, especially Trump's "reckless" order to assassinate General Soleimani.
"As Americans committed to peace and the safety of all people, we, the undersigned, apologize for the actions of our reckless, hate-filled president," the letter reads, "and pledge to do everything we can to stop Trump's aggression, remove the crippling sanctions you are suffering under, and resume a process of diplomacy with your country."
In a tweet about Saturday's demonstrations, CODEPINK co-founder Medea Benjamin warned that war was still a very real possibility.
"Think we avoided war with Iran a few weeks ago?" said Benjamin. "Think again. We are still on the brink."

On 12 March 2019, the Government launched its holiday pay campaign "It comes with the job" to raise awareness among workers of their rights and to help employers understand their legal obligations in the workplace. The campaign will aim to reach workers and employers through digital and social media advertising, video on-demand, and advertisements in train stations and other locations.
The campaign was created in response to the growing confusion (arising out of a number of changes to the law over the last few years) surrounding holiday pay, which is resulting in shift workers, zero-hour contract workers and agency workers missing out on the holiday pay to which they are entitled.
A Government survey of over 2,000 workers indicated that in the UK nearly 1.8 million people are not receiving their correct holiday pay and overall they are missing out on approximately £1.8 billion in holiday pay each year.
Under UK law, every hour worked by a worker or employee accrues an entitlement to paid time off, and nearly all workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks' paid holiday each year (calculated pro rata for those who work part time). Calculating both holiday entitlement and pay can be more difficult in the case of workers who work irregular hours or receive varying pay each week or month. As a result, casual workers are at a higher risk of not receiving their full holiday entitlement or pay.
It is likely that as a result of the Government's awareness campaign, workers will become more likely to challenge their employers on this issue. Employers may therefore wish to review their holiday policies and calculations to ensure they are acting in compliance with the law.
Make it clear to your staff that they have the right to paid annual leave and encourage them to take their holiday entitlement.
Ensure that your staff understand when they will lose this entitlement (i.e. at the end of your holiday year) and that there is generally no right to pay in lieu of untaken holiday. Keep a written record of any such communications to them.
Have a written policy in place which clearly sets out the rules in relation to holiday entitlement and accrual.
Review your policies and staff contracts regularly to ensure they comply with any changes in UK employment law.

Hidden Palermo: Stanze del Genio House-Museum
The House-Museum Stanze al Genio is a private house inside Palazzo Torre-Piraino and represents one of the most fascinating collections of Sicilian majolica. The palace was built between 1500 and 1600 and belonged to the Fernandez family of Valdes; in 1700 the property was acquired by the Princes of Torre and Benso.
A recent restoration has given a new light to some of the original features, from the period flooring to the frescoes of the late 18th century.
Inside the museum, it is possible to admire a collection composed of almost 5000 ancient Sicilian and Neapolitan tiles, vintage toys, labels and advertising posters, stationery and writing materials dating back to the first sixty years of the twentieth century.
The house museum is divided into four rooms: the entrance hall, the neoclassical hall (for the eighteenth-century ceiling decorations), the Flower room (for the early nineteenth-century ceiling decorations) and the Kitchen room. The exhibition of majolica is divided by age and origins (Naples and Sicily). The museum house houses a workshop for the restoration of old majolica tiles.
The impact when you enter the apartment is very strong, you immediately want to steal some ideas and decor at least one corner of your home with these tiles.
Le Stanze del Genio is also a B&B with four charming rooms located in the historic district of Kalsa. It's named after the nearby Fountain of the Genius, depicting a crowned elder and a snake feeding on his chest, located in Piazza Rivoluzione.
The House-Museum "Stanze al Genio" was opened in March 2008 by the collector Pio Mellina with the aim to show a Sicilian cultural heritage, acquired by various collectors, through permanent exhibitions, events and collateral activities.
What is it like living in a house that is so strongly characterized? "It is the dream of every collector to live surrounded by the objects he loves". And having to always open one's home to strangers, does it ever bother you? «No, seeing that people are passionate is very nice. The visit is personalized and generally lasts 40 minutes. Interesting chats always arise». Only one unexpected event is possible: "Every once in a while, my cat manages to open the bedroom door where I close it, the only one not accessible to the public, and it jumps into my arms while I'm with the visitors. But he is a good cat - he hastens to point out -, his name is Mour Mour because he always purrs».

"I am seriously thinking of running for president"
Starbucks' Schultz: "I am seriously thinking of running for president"
"I am not ... in bed with a party," said former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who is considering running for president as a "Centrist Independent."
Could Howard Schultz's possible third-party candidacy steal voters from the Democrats in 2020?
The former Starbucks CEO said he wants to see the American people win.
Schultz told Scott Pelley his views on immigration, climate change, health care and the 2018 tax cut.
Schultz said, "if I decide to run for president I'm running as an American who happens to be Jewish."
Would Starbucks be part of a Schultz campaign?
Schultz told Scott Pelley there would be "complete separation" between him and his former company.

Ngorongoro CraterMichael JS2018-07-16T18:33:42+03:00
The Ngorongoro Crater offers some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa. This wildlife hotspot is home to almost 30,000 animals, including the Big Five. The crater is also known as the 'Garden of Eden', due to the abundance of wildlife, ever dancing clouds and beautiful colours of the landscape. Because of its natural beauty the Ngorongoro Crater is chosen as one of Africa's Seven Natural Wonders.
Volcanic Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest volcanic crater. More than 2,5 million years ago, Ngorongoro was a volcanic mountain, the size of Kilimanjaro, and one of the highest peaks of Africa. When its top collapsed it transformed into a gigantic inactive volcano. Today the crater forms a bowl of 20 kilometres (12,5 miles) wide with sides up to 600 metres (2,000 feet) deep. Enjoy the phenomenal views from the rim over the crater floor, before you drive in.
With enough meadow areas, water and different vegetation, the crater has everything African wildlife needs to exist and do well. The crater floor teems with zebra, buffalo, elephant, flamingo, ostrich, hippo and even the rare black rhinos. This is one of the few areas in Africa where you can see the Big Five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino) all together. Another big draw is the large number number of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and leopards.
The crater is a dynamic ecosystem with diverse vegetation. Woodland and forest covers the edges of the crater, which merges into the wide grassy savannah of the crater floor. There are two forests in the crater, named The Lerai forest and Laiyanai forest, which mainly consist of yellow fever trees. In the north is a also a shallow soda lake called Lake Magadi, which is 3,2 km (2 miles) wide. Finally, in the east you can see pods of hippos in the Gorigor Swamp and the Ngoitokitok Springs.
Go on a game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater, Olduvai Gorge and surrounding attractions or hike through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Contact us how you can incorporate Ngorongoro Crater into your itinerary.
