Are you entering the career of nursing? Wondering if there is financial aid to help cover your college expenses? Look no further. There are plenty of financial aid options for nurses. In addition to reading articles like this one, a great first step is to check with the university or college you are planning to attend. The financial aid office should have a list of financial aid options available for nursing students. Some options include university grants and scholarships, state scholarships, and federal financial aid. Be sure to take advantage of all nursing-related financial aid offered by your school.
Nursing students have many options for financial aid. Most colleges and universities offer university scholarships and grants for nursing students. There are also state scholarships, and federal financial aid to consider.
Scholarships and grants are gift aid that does not have to be repaid. Nursing students also have loan options if other financial aid is needed. Although loans have to be repaid, most repayment plans do not begin until after graduation.
Most institutional nursing scholarships and grants are awarded based on financial need, and merit. Students interested in these types of financial aids should talk to department heads, financial aid representatives, or the admissions office. Students are required to apply for this aid. Requirements and eligibility vary by institution.
An example of a university scholarship is the State of Alabama Nursing Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded to nursing students at the University of Alabama and administered by the university. The maximum amount awarded is $1,000 per year. The Peggy Kaye Nursing Grant is an example of a college grant. It is administered by Walla Walla College in Washington to qualifying nursing students. The maximum award is $1,000 per year.
There are several states that offer specific scholarships for nursing students attending colleges or universities in their state. These differ from federal scholarships and grants, because they are funded by the state.
Michigan Nursing Scholarship—this is a non-need based award, administered by the Michigan Department of Treasury. This scholarship is awarded to Michigan residents in the amount of $4,000 per year for full-time students, for up to four years. Students awarded this scholarship must accept work as a direct patient care nurse at an eligible Michigan healthcare facility.
The Nursing Scholarship Fund Program—created in 1990; this is a program offered at several state colleges and universities in Indiana. Maximum award is $5,000. Scholarship can only be used for tuition and fees.
Kentucky Nurses Foundation Scholarship—this scholarship is administered by the Kentucky Nurses Foundation. Students are awarded a maximum of $500 per year. Deadline for applying is always May 1.
North Carolina League for Nursing Scholarship—this scholarship is administered by the Foundation for the Carolinas, with a maximum award of $6,000 per year. Deadline for application is May 1 each year.
Kansas Nursing Service Scholarship —this scholarship is for LPNs and RNs committed to working in specific Kansas facilities one year for each year scholarship is awarded. LPNs are awarded $2,500; RNs are awarded $3,500. Sponsors funds $1,000 or more of the scholarship, while the State of Kansas pays the rest. This scholarship is renewable.
The Health Professions Education Foundation of California offers the Vocational Nurse Scholarship (VN) —this scholarship is awarded to students enrolled in an accredited California Vocational Nursing (VN) Program. Recipients of this award receive up to $4,000 in scholarship money in exchange for working two years in a direct patient care facility in a medically underserved area in California. Another scholarship option is the Bachelor of Science Nursing Scholarship (BSN) awarded to students enrolled in a BSN program. The award amount goes up to $13,000. Recipient must agree to work in a direct care facility in a medically underserved area in California.
The state of New York offers a scholarship for nurses residing in New York who would like to further their education. The Edna A. Lauterbach Scholarship offers scholarship money to help pay for educational expenses.
Texas also offers several nursing scholarships. Here are two examples: Professional Nursing Scholarships —awarded to Texas residents who demonstrate a financial need, who are enrolled in a professional nursing program. Maximum award is $2,500. Vocational Nursing Scholarships provide financial assistance to Texas residents pursuing a career as a vocational nurse. Applicants must demonstrate a financial need and be enrolled at minimum, half-time. Maximum award is $1,500.
Other scholarships are funded by organizations. The Foundation of the National Student Nurses' Association, Inc offers scholarships for undergraduate students seeking nursing degrees. Award amounts vary, ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 annually. Award money can only be used for tuition, academic fees, and books.
Most colleges and universities offer federal-funded nursing financial aid. If there is a financial need and the student fills out and submits the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and qualifies and aid is available, then financial assistance is granted.
Nursing students are awarded federal grants, college work-study programs, and federal loans to help defray the cost of their college expenses. Grants are gift aid that does not have to be repaid. College work-study programs provide students the opportunity to work part-time to help pay for some expenses. Students typically work up to 20 hours per week. Nursing students can also consider obtaining federal loans to supplement any other aid they receive.
To be considered for federal financial aid, students must apply for it. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) website can be found at www.fafsa.ed.gov/ where students can apply online. It is important to apply as soon as possible, and prior to the school year in which you will be attending college. The deadline to submit the FAFSA is usually June 30.
Check with your school's financial aid or admissions office for all available federal and state-funded financial aid.
Talk to department heads at the school you are attending for scholarship and grant opportunities. Often times, nursing schools offer scholarships and/or grants.
Be prepared before filling out the FAFSA, and apply online for faster approval.
Know your deadlines. The earlier you apply the better chance of qualifying for aid. If you apply after the deadline, your need is handled on a first-come, first-served basis.


Geekling FYI: LEGO Advent Sets are Out!
It is only mid-October and most of us have barely got Halloween costumes together, never the less have even thought about plans for the holiday season. Though when it comes to LEGO Advent Calendar sets, October is the right time to think about them.
For those that use an Advent calendar during the Christmas season, the LEGO Advent sets provide an alternative to the traditional candy given each day. These sets have proven to be extremely popular and almost impossible to find at a reasonable price or at all come mid-November every year. Each year LEGO creates a different and entertaining scene to slowly be built during Advent.
For 2016, LEGO released three different sets inspired by a few of their most popular lines: LEGO City Advent Calendar, LEGO Friends Advent Calendar, and LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar. I have seen the sets at major stores, like Target and Wal-Mart in limited quantities, as well The LEGO Store. All of the sets are also currently available on Amazon. Again, with their popularity, October is the time to pick one up before everyone else thinks of getting one and they are gone.

Photographer Brad Elterman was still a teenager when he cut school to stake out the Cherokee recording studio on Fairfax. A friend told him that David Bowie was finishing up an all-night session and Elterman parked himself near Bowie's Mercedes and waited. When the singer emerged carrying master tapes, Elterman got the shot, and a cheerful "good morning!" beginning his career as a music photographer. More than 100 of his pictures are in the new book Dog Dance, out this week from Damiani. Rock out in the sleazy 70's with Joan Jett at the fleabag Tropicana motel on Santa Monica Boulevard, Phil Spector flipping you off at the Magic Castle, and Debbie Harry backstage at the Whisky before her first L.A. show in 1977.

The International SOS –Feriendorf celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2013.
The children with the staff and many invited guests, including founder personalities who were there in 1953, celebrated the anniversary of the SOS-Feriendorf together.
Hermann Gmeiner and Fritz Haider drove to the Italian region of Trentino, looking for a suitable place. The Lake Garda was already developed for tourism , and therefore was not right for the purposes of Hermann Gmeiner. He then discovered on the map that there are two lakes lying nearby Levico . One of them was the Lake Caldonazzo. At that time Caldonazzo was not developed for tourism and thus suitable as a resort for the children.
The first years were very modest, but over the decades, the SOS-Feriendorf has developed into a center for international and multicultural encounter between European SOS Children's Villages. Bungalow, hygienic facilities, a private beach, a large kitchen, the administration office and a hotel created a standard which enables innumerable children and guests to have a dream holiday . Sports and play facilities complete the holiday experience. Despite the high standards of organization of such a large holiday village, the original character of " carefree holiday and summer fun for children" is still there.

Q: Redirect all Android traffic via VPN I have a task to write an application that can redirect all traffic to Android via VPN. As I understand it can be included in the android through the settings, but i need to do it programmatically.
I learned VpnServis, and as I understood, with it I can create a application that can work with own created Vpn service, I can also assign vpn always on to other applications with the Vpn service created with it.
But I wonder if it is possible to do this for all installed applications, and if possible, how. And also interseting possibility assign vpn always on setting on all installed applications. Thanks!

A: When you use VpnService, you need to use VpnService.Builder to create it. While adjusting VpnService.Builder parameters, you need to assign what traffics you are interested in. This is done by adding a route through addRoute() method.
if you use 0.0.0.0/0 as your route, you will capture all traffic from all apps.
VPN always on is only supported from API level 24, so make sure if you want to use it. You need another approach (for example job) for creating this feature in lower API levels.

Visiting Asheville? It's like Brooklyn. But cooler.
Thu, Sep 26, 2019 at 10:23AM
DUSTY AFTERNOON SUNBEAMS splash down on a half-dozen performers plucking, strumming, and singing old-time Americana in the corner of a cozy pub. It's a fittingly unpretentious spotlight for this casual weekly jam session, a decades-old tradition at Asheville's cozy Jack of the Wood (jackofthewood.com, 828-252-5445). But as in the city outside, the mellow mood in here too easily belies the profound artistry before me: These are impeccable musicians.
Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, there's a lot to love about Asheville, from the local-first food scene to its Brooklyn-in-the-mountains sense of style to the warm welcome you receive in a city that loves you back. But art comes especially easy here; it's everywhere I turn. Music fills the bars, but also the streets, where buskers entertain tourists and lunch-hour diners. There's art on the walls of its galleries, working studios, coffee shops, and a lot of the building exteriors, too. And in autumn, nature is doing her part, painting the surrounding mountains in Impressionistic blots of red, orange, and gold.
The last time I visited Asheville, I reveled in the restaurants and street performances, an overfed spectator dazzled by musicians' sidewalk shows. On this trip, I still intend to eat too much — the abundance of nearby farms and award-winning chefs makes it impossible not to, and hiking in the mountain air works up a worthy appetite. But I've also brought my guitar along, hoping to become a small part of this city's big arts scene, if only for a moment.
To the Top of the Chimney, to the Top of the Wall
Asheville has its own small airport, but there are several daily nonstop flights from Boston to Charlotte, and it's an easy (and mostly pretty) two-hour drive from there. About half an hour west on Route 74, decaying strip malls and big-box tombstones of the retail apocalypse give way to pastoral farmland and distant peaks, as the Blue Ridge Mountains come into view. I'm reminded that, when I'm not part of the vehicular swamp inside Interstate 495, sometimes I actually enjoy driving.
On the knee- and quad-busting descent, I discover there are a number of offshoots and vistas along the climb that allow for breaks or the chance to explore other nooks and crannies, such as the Gneiss Cave and Crevice Pass. There's even a children's animal encounter about to take place on a picnic deck (the staff member says she's featuring reptiles today, which I can only assume includes snakes, so I quicken my downhill pace). From there, I hike the Hickory Nut Falls Trail to the base of the 404-foot waterfall featured in the 1992 film The Last of the Mohicans. There are several more trails of varied intensity, including an epic climb to the top of the falls, but kids might enjoy the Great Woodland Adventure trail best of all. The terrain is easy but more varied to stave off boredom, and the path is punctuated with educational animal-themed stations that challenge kids to leap as far as a jumping spider or crawl through tunnels like a chipmunk.
Eating Up Artsville
Few things smell so good as a mountain forest in the crisp autumn air, but a plate of tacos after hiking said forest comes pretty close. On my way into town, I stop for a late lunch at the colorful flagship location of White Duck Taco Shop (whiteducktacoshop.com, 828-254-1398) on the fringe of Asheville's industrial River Arts District. Lines are known to stretch out the door here at lunch time, when the picnic tables perched beside the French Broad River fill up fast. I want to devour half the chalkboard — there are standards, like fried fish and BBQ carnitas, plus more creative fillings like mole-roasted duck and Korean beef with kimchi — but settle on the Bangkok Shrimp taco. It's light and sweet with cucumbers and a sesame glaze.
Roughly two dozen industrial buildings in the River Arts District (riverartsdistrict.com) host the studios and galleries of about 200 working artisans, where you can watch painters and potters at work, take home a one-of-a-kind souvenir, or even enroll in a jewelry making, glass blowing, or pottery workshop, among others. The district is a little scattered about: Pockets of vibrant art studios, restaurants, and coffee shops are interrupted by train tracks and hollowed-out warehouses, making it a challenge to tour the whole area on foot. But on the second Saturday of each month (and during the annual Fall Studio Stroll, November 9-10), free trolleys bounce between the creative clusters.
I get my art fix by popping into a couple of galleries downtown, including the Woolworth Walk (woolworthwalk.com, 828-254-9234). The restored interior of the 1938 F.W. Woolworth building now showcases the work of almost 200 local artists on two floors, and includes a 1950s-style soda fountain serving club sandwiches and ice cream sodas. The mixed-media work of Jacqui Fehl (jacquifehl.com) stops me in my tracks, and I can't help but leave with a pack of postcard prints.
Another gem of early 20th-century architecture is the Grove Arcade (grovearcade.com, 828-252-7799), a gorgeous, glass-topped indoor marketplace that spans an entire city block. If you've ever wished you could order a beer or wine and sip it among two floors of books while Etta James plays in the background, A) we share the same dreams, and B) you must visit the Battery Park Book Exchange & Champagne Bar (batteryparkbookexchange.com, 828-252-0020) at the Arcade's south end. It's a perfect evening to enjoy their lovely outside seating area, but instead I roam the stacks of used volumes, beer in hand, until dinner beckons.
People rave about the 4-ounce petite filet at Chestnut (chestnutasheville.com, 828-575-2667), but the local shrimp and grits — with bacon, spinach, and a peppercorn cream sauce balanced by the acidic burst of cherry tomatoes — puts me in a salivating state of culinary catatonia: For a solid 10 minutes, I can think of nothing but how delicious each bite is. Despite a dazzling cocktail menu and sprawling wine list, it's hard not to order a beer when more than half the drafts are brewed nearby; the Gaelic Ale from local craft pioneer Highland Brewing doesn't disappoint.
I nurse my amber ale while awaiting my cousin Phil, who'll be joining me for the rest of the trip. From my window seat, I can see columns of fire dancing on the second-floor terrace bar at Aloft (marriott.com, 828-232-2838) across the street. The pyrotechnic patio entices, but I'm already booked at the colorful Hotel Indigo (ashevilleindigo.com, 828-239-0239), which, from its perch at the top of town, affords miles of mountain views from my room.
Phil arrives just as Chestnut is closing. He hasn't eaten yet, so we make our way to The Times Bar (thetimesbarasheville.com, 828-774-5028), a cocktail bar that somehow captures the easy elegance of a bygone era — classy, but not at all stuffy. The bartenders take their seasonal concoctions quite seriously, and the bar bites, from blistered shishito peppers with chimichurri aioli and sea salt to smoked trout tater tots with créme fraîche, are mouthwatering.
We close the night at the fabulously weird Sly Grog Lounge (slygrog.wordpress.com), a junkyard arcade of a dive bar. It's not technically a bar — it's a private club that costs a penny to join — and on this night its rambling assortment of vintage furniture, video games, old TVs, and other miscellany is mostly open to the outdoors, giving the place a yard sale vibe. A funk band is just stepping off the stage as we arrive, soon to give way to "Get Weird Wednesdays," a weekly collaborative electronic jam. The resulting soundscape is as advertised, but it's still art.
A Slippery Slope
Just south of downtown, Asheville's South Slope deserves a day of its own. But at the very least, stop here for lunch on your way to the Biltmore Estate (or for dinner on the way back to downtown). I park in the heart of the neighborhood and helplessly follow the smell of smoky, savory meat into Buxton Hall Barbecue (buxtonhall.com, 828-232-7216), housed in the gritty industrial grandeur of a former wood-floor roller rink.
Opened in 2015 by a pair of James Beard Award nominees, Buxton Hall is beloved for its whole-hog barbecue: Locally raised pigs are slow-smoked over hardwood coals for 18 hours and infused with a vinegar-based sauce. I go a little lighter and order the also-famous chicken sandwich; the delicate crunch of the buttermilk batter and house-made pickles brightens up the more sultry, smoky flavors of the juicy chicken breast and white BBQ sauce. Dry-rub-dusted watermelon packs a sweet, salty, spicy punch on the side.
Walking back to my car, I fight off the urge for a pint next door at the enormous-but-inviting Catawba Brewing (catawbabrewing.com, 828-552-3934) — not to mention the dozen or so other breweries, cideries, and distilleries within a four-block radius. Then I bravely beat back a second wave of temptation at Vortex Doughnuts (vortexdoughnuts.com, 828-552-3010), where trays of both traditional and inventive house-made treats beckon to my already bursting belly. The South Slope, it turns out, is a slippery one, tilting me toward delicious decadence.
I've never really understood it, but with no royal family to obsess over in America, we instead seem to worship celebrities and billionaires, the twin crowns of capitalism. And so it is that the most popular tourist attraction in Asheville is the Biltmore Estate (biltmore.com, 800-411-3812), the 175,000-square-foot mansion — that's over 4 indoor acres, mind you, with 35 bedrooms and 65 fireplaces — built by George Vanderbilt in the 1890s. The Biltmore draws over a million visitors each year, and you'll want to buy tickets ahead of time so you can reserve an entry time.
I grudgingly overpay (my admission is $69, plus another $12 for the audio guide) to gawk at the grotesque glamor of unthinkable wealth. The largest private home in America, the Biltmore has 250 rooms (and seemingly as many helpful, cheerful staff members), but only three dozen or so are open to the public. Some are more spectacular than others — the first-floor dining room is particularly eye-popping, the early indoor pool is fascinating, and you'll also encounter portraits by Renoir and John Singer Sargent. While the home's meticulously preserved architecture and furnishings are stunningly impressive, the audio guide proves well worth the cost, as there's little if any descriptive signage to put those details in context.
The mansion is indeed a piece of pristinely preserved historic beauty, but having toured The Breakers — the 70-room Vanderbilt "cottage" in Newport, Rhode Island, also designed by Biltmore architect Richard Morris Hunt — I start to feel a bit "been there, done that" around 30 rooms in. Once my self-guided tour of the house is over, though, I discover the best part of the estate: the grounds, which were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted.
The mountains outside of Asheville offer plenty of opportunity for breathtaking hikes. But if you like your wilderness a little less wild, the gardens and walking trails around the Biltmore offer a truly tranquil retreat and plenty of room to roam: At 8,000 acres, the estate is twice the size of Dorchester and nearly 10 times that of New York's Central Park. Trekking to the small waterfall at the far edge of Bass Pond, I follow a gravel path that meanders along and over a gurgling stream, through patches of sun-kissed forest so magically manicured they look as though they're tended not by human landscapers, but by pixies or leprechauns.
Today, Phil and I are going to try some busking, so we start off with a hearty breakfast at the Early Girl Eatery (earlygirleatery.com, 828-259-9292). The biscuit French toast puts a Southern spin on a favorite sweet staple, but the sweet potato and local sausage scramble is particularly heavenly.
After breakfast, Phil and I walk around downtown Asheville looking for a good place to set up. The ideal busking spot is one that's in view and earshot of a steady parade of passersby, but not in their way (the city is generally lenient, but regulations require you to leave at least 6 feet of sidewalk space); bonus points if an overhang or narrow street offers some sound resonance. While we're scoping out the streets, we pop in to some unique and wonderful shops. Malaprop's Bookstore/Cafe (malaprops.com, 828-254-6734) is exactly what you want an indie bookstore to be, and the honeycomb-shaped shelves of Asheville Bee Charmer (ashevillebeecharmer.com, 828-424-7274) are a bonanza for quirky and earth-conscious gifts.
Finally, we settle on a spot, near a pair of cafes on Wall Street. I haven't performed in the street, nor with Phil (a Berklee-trained guitarist), for quite a few years, but music is like a time machine. Belting out Bob Dylan, I feel young again. We play a few songs, earn a few dollars, and we can't stop smiling. Because making art is fun, and beautiful, and joyfully easy.
At least, it sure feels that way when you're in Asheville.

China's WeChat Adds a Mobile Flight Booking Service
Tracey Xiang, VentureBeat
- Apr 17, 2014 6:30 am
Flights are an interesting first step, but hotels and local events have more potential in the long run.
— Jason Clampet
WeChat's m-commerce offering has added flight booking service that is provided by LV.com (formerly 17u.cn), a Chinese online travel service Tencent has a stake in.
Payments, of course, are supported by WeChat Payment.
After purchasing a ticket, you'll be able to receive flight status notifications or other information by subscribing to LV's WeChat official account.
Right now, it's only available for users in two Chinese cities: Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Not only more cities but also other online booking services run by LV.com will be added later on, the company says.
So far, there have been a dozen categories of m-commerce offerings on WeChat, under My Band Cards channel, that enable users to purchase all kinds of goods or services (see below). So it's possible the booking services for sightseeing tickets or hotels, which currently are absent, will be added later.

August | 2018 | J.W. Wartick -"Always Have a Reason"
Cynthia Long Westfall's Paul and Gender: Reclaiming the Apostle's Vision for Men and Women in Christ brings forward insights from hermeneutics, linguistics, sociology, history, and insight into the ancient world to present a consistent reading of the Pauline corpus in regards to gender. Westfall contends that the traditional reading of the text must face the challenge that it does not consistently read the Pauline corpus, but rather tends to prioritize certain readings of texts over other texts, rather than trying to unify them. A lack of consistent methodology is also a problem, as hermeneutic method changes depending upon what the text is taken to defend (3). Moreover, traditional readings of the texts are "problematic," she argues, for several reasons: first, the traditional readings of the texts "have not resulted in making sense of Paul's Letters" (ibid); second, these readings of the texts are making a theology of power (4); third, the ontological basis for the traditional reading has largely been acknowledged as mistaken (see the first quote, above); fourth, both the individual and the group can make significant contributions to and impact on interpretation. For these reasons, Westfall suggests a return to the texts to see what they actually mean in context, again, drawing on linguistics, contemporary cultural studies, and many more disciplines.
Westfall organizes the book topically, looking at how various topics relate to Paul and gender. These topics are culture, stereotypes, creation, the Fall, eschatology, the body, calling, authority, and an extended look at 1 Timothy 2:11-15. By organizing the book largely around these important topics in Paul's thought, Westfall avoids the somewhat common theme of books about sexuality in Christianity of looking at one proof text after another to come down on one side or the other. Instead, Westfall presents a cohesive, rational way for looking at the whole of the Pauline corpus, yes, through looking at individual texts, but also by uniting Paul's thought and bringing in insights from various fields.
Time and again throughout Paul and Gender, I came upon a way of looking at things I hadn't considered before. Westfall's use of linguistics and deep knowledge of the cultural context of the New Testament leads to arguments and conclusions that are powerful and compelling. Some of her points seem obvious on reflection, but were points I have rarely if ever seen discussed in literature related to men and women in Christ. For example, regarding 1 Timothy 2:13, she notes that in Genesis, from which Paul is drawing his point, primogeniture is constantly reversed. That theme is one I had learned and put forward myself, but I hadn't thought about how it could be applicable to understanding Paul's use of Adam first/Eve next in 1 Timothy. Why is it that complementarians repeatedly make a bald assumption that primogeniture is seen by Paul as an inherent hierarchy between man and woman when Paul is specifically using an example from a book where primogeniture is consistently overthrown by God? Her extensive look at 1 Corinthians 11 helps to make it even more clear how difficult it is to adequately understand some of these texts as English speakers. Through conversation with many contemporary sources, she conclusively demonstrates that the notion of the man being "head" is not a hierarchy. Moreover, her reading of what is meant by calling woman the glory of man as well as her interpretation of why women should have a kind of covering over their heads is one that answers many, many questions for me as a reader. By showing what, culturally, was going on in Corinth and the church in general, she presents readings that explain the text rather than obscure it further–or turn it into a proof text for a specific position.
The greatest strength of Westfall's approach is that it truly does present a unified look at the Pauline corpus. Rather than having to look at texts piecemeal and form a series of doctrinal theses therefrom, Westfall's reading of the texts related to gender present a consistent, holistic view of Paul's teaching on gender. It is a truly remarkable book that deserves careful reading. I spent several hours on the chapter on "culture" alone, finding many deep insights both in the main text and the footnotes. As a reader, I feel as though I have a much deeper and more complete understanding of Paul on these topics than I did before I read it.
With Paul and Gender, Cynthia Long Westfall has created one of the most profoundly exegetical and deep challenges to the complementarian reading of the Pauline Corpus in existence. Her breadth of knowledge of many different fields of studies is effectively utilized to present a cohesive, persuading reading of Paul regarding gender. May all who are interested in finding what the New Testament teaches on gender read this book.

Nancey Harris is the co-founder and chief operating officer of Vontélle Eyewear, a brand created to combine fashion and function for people with diverse features.
As a Black woman, what do you consider your superpower to be?
My superpower is optimism. As a woman of strong faith, I take the opportunity to learn and prosper in every task. In life and business, it's important to be resilient when faced with adversity. At any given time or moment, you can be thrown into a fiery furnace, and I'd like to believe no matter how hot it gets, I will emerge unscathed. As an optimist, I'm able to draw from past successes and achievements as motivation for the future, because I know exactly what is possible with a well-thought-out strategy and hard work.
What thoughtful or encouraging piece of advice would you give to your younger self?
Savor life because it's short. Don't take shortcuts. Stay the course, go after your dream and it's okay to take the lower-paying job because if you stay the course, the money will follow. Last, you're in that position, because you belong there. So, keep your head held high as you continue to thrive and always make a positive lasting impression.
Why is it important for women of color to work in leadership roles and decision-making capacities?
Aside from it being inspiring to young women, representation and diversity are necessary for the workplace. When women of color arrive in leadership positions, they've worked their a– off to get there and will not take it for granted. We don't walk into these environments with a Black privilege card. Instead, we enter these realms with master's degrees and PhDs and start from the reception desk with every job in-between before receiving the golden key to the corner office. With that comes a wealth of experience along with humility, self-awareness, self-control, integrity, moral sensitivity, emotional intelligence, organization, and the urgency to prove themselves worthy of said position. As a result, they will make sound decisions based on due diligence, strategy, and less ego.

Want to prove to your friend that the lyrics are "Big ol' jet airliner" and not "Bingo jet had a light on"?
My brother years ago told me about his friend who swore that the lyrics to Jet Airliner included "Bingo Jet had a light on".
Well, that was years ago and now Apple has added to their music app the ability to see the lyrics to a song you are listening to.
Simply select the 3 dots on the bottom right of the screen and select lyrics.
Below is a a very quick GIF of my kids favorite song now, Hall of Fame by The Script, followed by an 18 second video that I created using QuickTime Player.
Any questions, let me know. Enjoy proving you are right - or now finally figuring out what that artist is really saying.

Активность личности — особый вид деятельности или особая деятельность, отличающаяся интенсификацией своих основных характеристик (целенаправленности, мотивации, осознанности, владения способами и приёмами действий, эмоциональности), а также наличием таких свойств, как инициативность и ситуативность.
В праксеологии активность личности (субъекта отношений) — передача сигнала субъекту отношений (объекту воздействия) во взаимозависимости по установлению (восприятию) нормы.

Подходы к определению понятия активности личности
Термин активности широко используется в различных сферах науки как самостоятельно, так и в качестве дополнительного в различных сочетаниях. Причём в некоторых случаях это стало настолько привычным, что сформировались самостоятельные понятия. Например, такие как: активный человек, активная жизненная позиция, активное обучение, активист, активный элемент системы. Понятие активности приобрело такой широкий смысл, что при более внимательном отношении его использование требует уточнений.

Словарь русского языка даёт общеупотребительное определение «активного» как деятельного, энергичного, развивающегося. В литературе и бытовой речи понятие «активности» часто употребляется как синоним понятия «деятельность». В физиологическом смысле понятие «активности» традиционно рассматривается как всеобщая характеристика живых существ, их собственная динамика. Как источник преобразования или поддержания ими жизненно значимых связей с окружающим миром. Как свойство живых организмов реагировать на внешние раздражения. Активность при этом соотносится с деятельностью, обнаруживаясь как её динамическое условие, как свойство её собственного движения. У живых существ активность изменяется в соответствии с эволюционными процессами развития. Активность человека приобретает особое значение как важнейшее качество личности, как способность изменять окружающую действительность в соответствии с собственными потребностями, взглядами, целями. (А. В. Петровский, М. Г. Ярошевский, 1990).

Большое значение придаётся «принципу активности». Н. А. Бернштейн (1966), вводя в психологию этот принцип, представлял его суть в постулировании определяющей роли внутренней программы в актах жизнедеятельности организма. В действиях человека существуют безусловные рефлексы, когда движение непосредственно вызывается внешним стимулом, но это как бы вырожденный случай активности. Во всех же других случаях внешний стимул только запускает программу принятия решения, а собственно движение в той или иной степени связано с внутренней программой человека. В случае полной зависимости от неё мы имеем дело с так называемыми «произвольными» актами, когда инициатива начала и содержание движения задаются изнутри организма.

В социологии используется понятие социальной активности. Социальная активность рассматривается как явление, как состояние и как отношение. В психологическом плане существенным представляется характеристика активности как состояния — как качество, которое базируется на потребностях и интересах личности и существует как внутренняя готовность к действию. А также как отношения — как более или менее энергичная самодеятельность, направленная на преобразование различных областей деятельности и самих субъектов. (В. Ф. Бехтерев 1996.)

В психологии в рамках деятельностного подхода, также наблюдается некоторое непринципиальное расхождение в трактовке активности. Психологическая теория деятельности рассматривает макроструктуру деятельности в виде сложного иерархического строения. В её состав включают несколько уровней, в числе которых называют: особые виды деятельности, действия, операции, психофизиологические функции. Особенные виды деятельности в этом случае выступают как совокупность действий, вызываемых одним мотивом. К ним обычно относят игровую, учебную и трудовую деятельность. Их же называют формами активности человека. (Ю. Б. Гиппенрейтер 1997).
Б. Г. Ананьев, помимо указанных, к множеству «активно-деятельностных форм отношения человека к миру» причисляет также боевую и спортивную деятельность, познание, общение, управление людьми, самодеятельность. (Л. И. Анциферова, 1998). Активность, в данном случае, соответствует особенной форме деятельности или особенной деятельности.

По мнению К. А. Абульхановой-Славской (1991) посредством активности человек решает вопрос о согласовании, соизмерении объективных и субъективных факторов деятельности. Мобилизуя активность в необходимых, а не в любых формах, в нужное, а не в любое удобное время, действуя по собственному побуждению, используя свои способности, ставя свои цели. Тем самым, оценивая активность, как часть деятельности, как её динамическую составляющую реализуемую ситуативно, то есть в нужный момент времени.

Ещё одна трактовка понятия активности предложена В. А. Петровским (1996), предлагающим рассматривать личность как подлинный субъект активности. Прослеживая историю форм деятельности субъекта, он выделяет три последовательных этапа в истории становления деятельности:
 Функционирование или жизнедеятельность особи как предпосылку деятельности; Функционирование — первое и простейшее проявление жизни — может быть описано в плане взаимодействия субъекта с объектом, в ходе которого обеспечивается целостность присущих субъекту телесных структур. Функционирование опирается на возможности непосредственного взаимодействия субъекта с его окружением. Отлучение живых тел от источников их существования оказывается гибельным, так как способности к функционированию ещё недостаточно для преодоления возникших барьеров.
 Деятельность, как условие выживания субъекта. Деятельность снимает присущие предыдущей ступени развития ограничения. Посредством деятельности субъект получает возможность достичь предмет, прежде удалённый от него, но необходимый для функционирования.
 Активность, как высшую форму развития деятельности.
В процессе развития человека возникают новые, вспомогательные формы взаимодействия с миром, нацеленные на обеспечение и поддержание самой возможности деятельности субъекта. Эти формы движения складываются внутри предшествующих деятельностей и, перерастая в деятельность, носящую самоподчиненный характер, они становятся тем, что может быть названо активностью субъекта.

Активность и деятельность, соотношение понятий
Одной из главных теоретических проблем при рассмотрении понятия активности личности является соотнесение понятий «активности» и «деятельности». Трудность заключается в том, что в большом количестве случаев эти термины выступают как синонимы.

На основе анализа позиций специалистов, выделяют ряд общих существенных признаков активности личности. К ним относятся представления об активности как:
 форме деятельности, свидетельствующем о сущностном единстве понятий активности и деятельности;
 деятельности, к которой у человека возникло собственное внутреннее отношение, в которой отразился индивидуальный опыт человека;
 личностно значимой деятельности: форме самовыражения, самоутверждения человека с одной стороны и о человеке, как о продукте активного и инициативного взаимодействия с окружающей социальной средой — с другой;
 деятельности направленной на преобразование окружающего мира;
 качестве личности, личностном образовании, проявляющимся во внутренней готовности к целенаправленному взаимодействию со средой, к самодеятельности, базирующейся на потребностях и интересах личности, характеризуемой стремлением и желанием действовать, целеустремлённостью и настойчивостью, энергичностью и инициативой.

Представление об активности как форме деятельности, позволяет утверждать, что активности должны быть присущи основные составляющие деятельности (В. Н. Кругликов, 1998). В психологии к ним относят: цель или целенаправленность, мотивацию, способы и приёмы, с помощью которых осуществляется деятельность, а также осознанность и эмоции.
Говоря о цели, подразумевают, что любая деятельность осуществляется для чего-то, то есть, что она направлена на достижение определённой цели, которая трактуется как сознательный образ желаемого результата и определяется мотивацией субъекта деятельности. Человек, находясь под воздействием комплекса внешних и внутренних мотивов, выбирает главный из них, который превращается в цель деятельности направленной на его достижение. Поэтому цель можно также рассматривать как главный осознанный мотив.
Отсюда становится понятным, что продуктивная деятельность носит мотивированный и осознанный характер. Однако не все мотивы, в отличие от целей, осознаются человеком. Это не означает, однако, что неосознаваемые мотивы не представлены в сознании человека. Они проявляются, но в особой форме, в форме эмоций, как элемент эмоциональной составляющей деятельности. Эмоции возникают по поводу событий или результатов действий, которые связаны с мотивами. В теории деятельности эмоции определяются как отражение отношения результата деятельности к её мотиву. Кроме того, они выступают одним из оценочных критериев выбора направления действий.
Способы и приёмы выступают элементом деятельности, но не просто как средство для осуществления действия, к которому приспосабливаются движения, а как элемент схемы действия, как орудие, обогащающее последнее ориентацией на отдельные свойства предмета-орудия.
Определяя активность как особую форму деятельности требуется осознавать её отличия, её особенности. В качестве отличительных черт предлагается рассматривать интенсификацию основных характеристик деятельности, а также присутствие двух дополнительных свойств: инициативности и ситуативности.

Интенсификация отражает тот факт, что во всех характеристиках активности в явной форме просматриваются элементы качественно-количественных оценок. Наблюдается повышение выраженности и интенсивности её составляющих, а именно усиление осознанности, субъективности, личностной значимости целей, отмечается более высокий уровень мотивации и владения субъектом способами и приёмами деятельности, повышенная эмоциональная окрашенность.

Под инициативностью понимается почин, внутреннее побуждение к деятельности, предприимчивость и их проявление в деятельности человека. Очевидно, что инициатива тесно связана и выступает проявлением мотивации, степени личностной значимости деятельности для человека, является проявлением принципа активности, свидетельствуя о внутренней включенности субъекта в процесс деятельности, о ведущей роли в нём внутреннего плана. Она свидетельствует о волевых, творческих и психофизических способностях личности. Тем самым, выступает интегративным показателем соотнесения личностных особенностей и требований деятельности.

Ситуативность активности может рассматриваться как характеристика, свидетельствующая о переходе деятельности в иное качество — качество активности в том случае, когда усилия, направленные на достижение цели превосходят нормированный уровень деятельности и необходимы для её достижения. При этом уровень активности может рассматриваться с двух позиций — внешней по отношению к субъекту и внутренней. В первом случае активность может соответствовать нормативно определённой цели или превышать её. Для характеристики такой активности используют понятия «надситуативной» и «сверхнормативной активности» под которыми понимается способность субъекта подниматься над уровнем требований ситуации или, соответственно, официально предъявляемых обществом нормативными требованиями.
Во втором случае активность рассматривается с точки зрения субъекта и соотносится с внутренне определяемой целью, отвечающей не внешним, социально обусловленным, а его личным внутренним целям. Для личности активность всегда «нормативна», поскольку соответствует поставленной цели, в случае достижения которой деятельность теряет свою энергетическую основу — мотивацию и развиться до уровня надситуативности, очевидно, не может. Деятельность, которая не позволила субъекту достичь поставленной цели, традиционно считается недостаточно активной или «пассивной», то есть в принципе, не может называться активностью.

Уровень активности, её длительность, устойчивость и другие показатели зависят от согласованности и оптимальных сочетаний разных компонентов: эмоционального, мотивационного и др. В связи с чем, в зависимости от способа связи психических и личностных уровней активности она может приобретать оптимальный или неоптимальный характер. Например, поддерживать определённый уровень активности можно двумя способами: перенапряжением всех сил, что ведёт к утомлению, падению активности, и за счёт эмоционально-мотивационного подкрепления. Именно эти два подхода, например, отличают традиционное обучение в высшей школе, построенное с опорой на лекционные занятия и инновационные формы обучения, опирающиеся на методы активного обучения активное обучение.

Italian aid workers abducted in Syria arrive home in Rome
Two Italian aid workers kidnapped last year in northern Syria have arrived back in Rome, a day after their release. Rome has opened an investigation into their abduction.
Italy's foreign minister, Paolo Gentiloni, met 20-year-old Greta Ramelli and 21-year-old Vanessa Marzullo in the early hours of Friday morning as they arrived at Ciampino military airport on a flight from Turkey.
Heads bowed, the women were taken to an airport hall without speaking to waiting media. They were then taken to the hospital for observation before meeting with Rome's anti-terrorist prosecution office, which has opened an investigation into their abduction.
"I'm feeling enormous joy: this is the news I have been waiting for for a long time," Salvatore Marzullo, father of Vanessa, said after hearing news of their release.
"I am so, so happy," he told the AGI news agency.
Interior Minister Angelino Alfano tweeted it is "with great joy and huge sigh of relief."
The Italian foreign ministry said their release was a culmination of "intense work by team Italy." Officials have not released details of how the women came to be freed.
Marzullo and Ramelli, from the Lombardy region of Italy, were abducted on July 31 near the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, three days after they had arrived from Turkey. The women were taken hostage while seeking to provide healthcare in the embattled city.
The two women appeared in a video released December 31, asking the Italian government to help get them home, with Ramelli saying they could be killed.
"We are in big danger and we could be killed. The government and its militaries are responsible [for] our lives," one of the women said in English, appearing to read from a statement.
The video said the women were being held by the Nusra Front, an off-shoot of al Qaeda's Syria wing.
Nusra Front, and militant "Islamic State" (IS) have held Westerners hostage in Syria, which has been seen a long-running civil war.
Several male hostages, including aid workers and journalists, were beheaded by IS in 2014.

The school had very humble beginnings and although it had grown steadily over the years its position, particularly its financial position, was often precarious. It was not until 1959 that the two Co-Principals of the school, Nancy Macdona and Phyllis (Peg) Donaldson, decided to take a very courageous step and borrow money to buy the school its own premises. The building they settled for was called Duynroos and was a large and attractive house (though rather dilapidated and surrounded by sand and bushes) in Scheveningen. For the next 36 years that building was to be, initially, the entire school, then the Junior School, and, throughout the whole period, the school office and administration centre. I receive more enquiries from alumni about the old Tapijtweg building (it was generally known just by its street name) than about any other of the school's premises.
Banking practices in the late 50-ties
Some years ago a letter reached the archives from an elderly gentleman in Australia, a certain Alistair MacLennan, which cast light on the actual purchasing of the school's first property. I have shortened and tweaked his letter a bit and now present it to you. It is not only important for its factual content but also because it gives a delightful insight into normal banking practices of those days. It also brings home how courageous the two Co-Principals of the school were. One of them, Nancy Macdona you have already met. Peg Donaldson I shall perhaps write more about at a future date.
The two Co-Principals that decided to purchase the first property: Mrs Phyllis Donaldson and Mrs. Nancy Macdona
A personal account of an accountant
"In the late summer of 1959 I – a Scottish chartered accountant – was working in The Hague for a company linked to UNESCO. One afternoon I was telephoned by a man called Bill Earley who was the senior partner of Price Waterhouse & Co. He told me that he also had the pro bono job of auditor, bookkeeper and treasurer of the English School. He felt that it was not correct for him to have all these different responsibilities and asked me if I would be prepared, as a qualified accountant, to take over the job of treasurer. And that is what happened.
I made the acquaintance of the two Co-Principals, Nancy Macdona and Peg Donaldson, at a meeting in the British Ambassador's home and was much impressed by their determination and commitment to the school. At our second meeting the subject was raised of purchasing a building. Now I knew from my conversations with Bill Earley that the school had no money – in fact it was only thanks to some very hard work on his part that the school had not been declared bankrupt earlier that year. However, despite this the decision was taken that we would borrow the money and proceed with the purchase.
And so it was that, on a morning in early October 1959, I drove the two ladies to Rotterdam and we went to the offices of one of the biggest insurance companies in The Netherlands. Their representatives received us very warmly and, after everyone had had coffee, they said that they understood we wished, on behalf of the school, to borrow the sum of 100,000 guilders for the purpose of buying a building. I said that was indeed what we wanted to do. They then opened a suitcase out of which they produced 100,000 guilders in bank-notes. One of their representatives counted it out, a lengthy business, and then pushed it across the table to me. I, equally solemnly, counted it out and agreed that it was indeed 100,000 guilders. They then produced the loan documentation which the two ladies and I signed on our behalf and they signed on behalf of their company. We then shook hands and left with our bulging suitcase.
We drove back to The Hague and went to the offices of the 'gemeente'. There we went through the same lengthy procedure as above except that this time the amount of the borrowing was 60,000 guilders. The loan documentation was signed and I was handed a copy. They then said that we could now proceed to the purchase of the building. The cost, they said, was 160,000 guilders. Did I have such a sum available? I said that indeed I did and tabled the 100,000 guilders that we had obtained in Rotterdam, adding it to the money they had just lent us. I solemnly counted out the whole sum and then pushed it across the table to them. They in turn counted the whole and agreed that it was indeed 160,000 guilders. They then produced the title deeds of the building and these were signed by all present.
We left carrying the documentation in our hands – and that is the story of the purchase of Tapijtweg 10. I send you this story to mark the 50th anniversary (2009) of those days when a tiny group of people, and in particular the two Co-Principals, took a tremendous leap in the dark and hoped that they were doing the right thing. I regarded it as a gesture of faith and have done so ever since, and I now know that these loans have long since been repaid and that the school is flourishing on a scale that Nancy Macdona and Peg Donaldson could never have dreamt of.
With every good wish to you personally and to the school
Alistair S. MacLennan"
I (Mike Weston) knew Nancy Macdona and Peg Donaldson very well, and how I wish that they could see just how successful their leap in the dark turned out to be.

There is no doubt that the cost of the used office furniture cannot be compared to that of the new ones by any chance since the former is cheaper than the latter. It means that you can rest assured that you will be rescuing some finances when you resolve that you will acquire used office furniture. Many used office furniture which is in the best form is available in the shops, but they will not need you to use a lot of finances in the buying process.
It is needed that every individual in the world ensures that they do all the things within their power to ensure that they conserve the environment. When you buy the second-hand furniture for your office, there is no doubt that you will be decreasing environmental pollution. The argument supporting that fact is that the furniture which would be thrown to the environment and lead to pollution will be utilized in a better manner.
There are times when you establish that you have to wait for even months when you are purchasing new furniture from the shops. If you find that the store you want to get the furniture from does not have a stock of the furniture, you van be sure that you will have to wait for long. The used office furniture is readily available in the dealerships all around the world, and hence you will not have to be inconvenienced when you resolve to go for them.
You will have the chance to make some changes to the appearance of the furniture that you buy by utilizing the little cash that you may have obtained when buying them. It implies that you can implement the office design that you have in mind when you resolve to acquire the used furniture. You can be assured that your office staff, as well as the customers, will feel comfortable when they are in an office which has a personal touch.

WCR This Week
Couple from Olds work for Rwandan reconciliation

Joan and John Palardy of Olds hope to return to Rwanda to work for reconciliation.
RAMON GONZALEZ
WESTERN CATHOLIC REPORTER
Anastaisie's parents, two brothers and a sister were all slaughtered in the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Now, the man who killed them, after serving 14 years in jail, is building three chicken sheds for Anastaisie.
The woman agreed to a mediation process on condition the killer told her every detail about how each of her family members was killed.
"What a courageous woman!" said Joan Palardy, a retired chaplain at Bowden Institution who spent six weeks in Rwanda with her husband John teaching techniques of restorative justice. "And she told him what she went through for all these years."
The Palardys hope to return to Rwanda for at least six months to do more work with prison chaplains.
In just 100 days in 1994, 800,000 Tutsi people were slaughtered, many chopped to pieces by their Hutu neighbours in one of the world's worst genocides.
Over the years, many of the offenders have been caught, convicted and jailed. Many of the survivors sport wounds - both physical and psychological.
Can reconciliation ever be achieved? Difficult as it seems, Joan and John believe it is possible.
In March and April the Catholic couple visited Rwanda, Burundi and Congo to teach prison chaplains a transformative vision of justice.

Human skulls discovered in a mass grave in Rwanda. More than 400 inmates in one prison wrote letters to survivors of their crimes asking for forgiveness.
Joan's specialty is grief recovery. John is a retired social worker and counsellor. He used to be manager for children services in the Red Deer area.
Both are members of Just.Equipping, a Canadian registered charity committed to educating, training and equipping in the area of restorative justice, an approach that engages victims, offenders and their affected communities in search of solutions that promote repair, reconciliation and the rebuilding of relationships.
Joan did grief recovery work with the chaplains to prepare them for their role as mediators.
"In order for them to work with the victims of the genocide and the offenders responsible for the killings of so many of their family members, they have to understand their own victimization," Joan said.
"The victimization that they have experienced is huge.
"We taught them the grieving process and what the victims experience and what the offenders also experience later."
Since 2006, Just.Equipping has conducted training missions in Africa, mainly Rwanda, Burundi and Congo. The Palardys were part of a team of six Canadians that visited the area this year.
During its six-week teaching mission, the team offered sessions on basic restorative justice, biblical justice, grief recovery and counselling to prison chaplains, pastors, teachers, local authorities, and representatives of the police and military.
In Rwanda, the team stayed at Gisenyi, a city some 250 km northwest of the capital city of Kigali. There the Palardys, both active members of St. Stephen Parish in Olds, worked with about a dozen prison chaplains, themselves survivors of the genocide.
"Our role was to teach the chaplains how to work with mediation as well as to work through their own losses because that way they realize it is possible to do this," Joan said.
Many of the Hutu offenders were young kids when they were abducted by the army and forced to kill their own neighbours and classmates, she said.
"This really goes back to the Gospel of Jesus, having compassion for these people," John said. "That's really what needs to happen."
If the chaplains are able to look past the offence, then reconciliation can take place. "That's what we are taught and that's what I believe, that we have to see Jesus within them because there is good in everyone.
"It's not an easy thing to do but that's what Jesus did. He looked past the offence to the person and he saw goodness within them.
ACCEPTANCE GRANTED
"That's what turns people around often because they are still accepted for who they are in spite of what they've done."
Chaplains often carry letters of apology from genocide offenders to victims and then help in the mediation process.
"They give this letter to the victim or the victim's family," Joan explained. "The victim reads it and if they wish to meet at some point with this offender then the chaplain will arrange that. It's a huge job that these chaplains have."
About 400 inmates from Gisenyi Prison wrote letters asking forgiveness of their victims for genocide crimes. These letters resulted in the development of a Victim-Offender Mediation Protocol, often resulting in a victim-offender meeting inside the prison.
"So you have the offender reaching out to the victim and then the victim has to be prepared to meet with the offender and of course that takes a long time too because both have to be prepared for that mediation, and so a chaplain is always present for that."
Chaplains don't try to persuade survivors to accept mediation. "It's the victim who makes the decision. Some of them have been very willing; some of them have said no."
Visiting with the victims is a tough thing for prison chaplains because they often don't have money for transportation. Prison chaplaincy is a volunteer position in Rwanda. An Ontario parish is currently paying $10-a-month to each prison chaplain working in Gisenyi.
Restorative justice is a new concept in Rwanda but it's slowly expanding. "Some of these offenders who have met with their victims have been released because they realize that this offender is serious and is taking responsibility for his offence," Joan explained.
"So what's happening is some of these offenders are moving back into the community where this victim is and they are doing things for this victim to help pay back some of what they stole. They are contributing financially or helping (the survivor) to build a house."
In Burundi, the team was able to visit four prisons and bring in food and soap for some of the prisoners. They also gave a weeklong course in restorative justice to more than 30 chaplains.
In Goma, Congo, the team met with young women who had been raped in prison and visited a sewing workshop local chaplains had built for the women.
The Palardys would like to return to Rwanda and stay for at least six months to do in-depth grief recovery work with the prison chaplains. "We just want to go there and equip local people in their work in justice issues, John said.

Three New Caregiver Pilot Programs Announced
On February 23, 2019, the Honourable Ahmed Hussein, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship announced the introduction of two new pilot programs for caregivers. Borders Law Firm welcomes these new programs, which promise caregivers more equitable employment and a fairer pathway to both permanent residence and family reunification in Canada. These new programs will replace the five-year "Caring for Children" and "Caring for People with High Medical Needs" pilots launched in 2014, which are set to expire in November 2019.
The new pilot programs would introduce an assessment of caregivers based on their eligibility for permanent residence before they begin working in Canada. Caregivers will now have a direct pathway to permanent residence once they obtain a work permit and two (2) years of experience (it is presently unclear whether these two years of work experience must take place in Canada). The programs also promise occupation-specific work permits, enabling caregivers to "change jobs quickly when necessary". Finally, the new pilots would now permit caregivers' dependent family members to accompany them to Canada, through open work permits for their spouses/common-law partners and study permits for dependent children. These changes represent a major step forward in achieving parity between caregivers and other applicants for economic immigration.

In addition, Minister Hussein also announced the creation of the "Interim Pathway for Caregivers", which will be open from March 4, 2019 until June 4, 2019 only. During this three-month period, caregivers who have at least one (1) year of work experience in Canada since November 2014 and meet other baseline criteria may now apply for permanent residence. The "Interim Pathway for Caregivers" is intended to "provide a one-time, short term dedicated pathway to permanent residence" for some caregivers who came to Canada under the poorly-understood, pre-2014 Live-in Caregiver Program. Many such applicants came to Canada expecting to obtain permanent residence, only to discover possibly years later that they did not qualify under any existing pathways. Thus, for the next three (3) months, any and all applications received will be processed to completion, offering pre-2014 Live-in Caregiver applicants a chance to finally obtain their dream of permanent residence in Canada.

Disclosure: I received the following for review from Submarine Swim. All opinions are my own.
The weather is really nice and the kids have been enjoying water play so imagine how excited Kenzie was to see her new swimwear from Submarine Swim. The designs are unique and playful yet something that even I would wear myself. The quality is top notch and Kenzie couldn't wait to try her selections on.
The Black and White stripe one piece swimsuit is rocker chic with the edgy design. It is really comfortable for Kenzie to wear and run around in. She looks like a little girl yet with an eye for fashion.
Guess who was overly excited about putting on her first bikini aka bra? The pink flutter heart bikini is just too cute. She was ecstatic about wearing something just like mommy and since you can adjust the ties, Kenzie can definitely wear this for another year or so at her growth rate.
If there is too much sun or if want a little more coverage, just toss on the coordinating pink flutter heart rashguard. The long sleeves fit perfectly on Kenzie and she loves the detailed hearts that are stitched on the front.
Submarine Kids not only offers stylish swimwear for girls, but also boys! The designs are fresh and reflect the designers' Brazilian roots. Kenzie is definitely going to rock out her Submarine Swim on the beaches in Maui next month!
