Nicole McLaughlin used badminton birdies to design this shoe.
Access to machinery, learning how to sew, sketching footwear, dabbling in apparel design were some of the upsides, said McLaughlin, adding that she aims to be more of a concept designer at Reebok. "It's almost limiting to do just one job, If you have all these skills to be able to look at a collection holistically and collectively," said McLaughlin, who will have a hand in Reebok's next collaboration with MISBHV.
The book would also be a vehicle "to show pieces that she wouldn't show on social media, so that people would only see them by buying the book," McLaughlin said.
Although people often ask about buying McLaughlin's creations, she said that "gets a little blurry," since they are often made from upcycled materials. "I always feel a little worried that if I started to sell bespoke products, that would be crossing a line. So far it's been more about concepts to help people think a little bit differently about a brand or something that they have seen so many times. We're just all so over-saturated with things. It's a way to refresh and see something new," she said.
Fluent in sign language, McLaughlin initially pursued speech language pathology as an undergrad at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, before taking a more artistic route. Throughout high school, she signed as much as she spoke English, which made her look at the visual world differently. A former collegiate lacrosse player, she first connected with Reebok through a yearlong internship and is now branching out to also do work for Reebok's parent company, Adidas.


Center for Planetary Awakening - 32 Centers of Light: Creating a New Global Consciousness Grid Center for Planetary Awakening: Founders Carol Fitzpatrick and Mark Torgeson. Building sustainable oneness through education, skill-building and frequency activation.
Our path of service is to entrain to unconditional love, which is felt as a deep sense of inner peace, gratitude and great joyousness, as we work together in oneness. It is our hearts' desire to anchor these higher frequencies into the earthen plane to build a new earth grid. This frequency serves as a catalyst for shifting into higher states of awareness.
Our mission delivery includes 1) creating a Unified Field of Resonance (UFR) with the higher dimensional frequencies and amplifying these frequencies as we are holding the sacred space for the shifting of the earth plane and its people; 2) balancing and stabilizing the human energy system with the new earth grid; 3) envisioning new paradigm communities that honor and support the next seven (7) generations to come, with particular focus on the support and well-being of the star children who are here now; 4) connecting with others who are working to build sustainable community to create a web of light around the planet, and 5) building sustainable community as an anchor to the new earth grid by establishing global light centers in energetically significant locations around the world.
In early 2007, Carol FItzpatrick heard the words, "it's time for to gather in community." She sensed that she was to create a safe space for others who were opening to their higher senses to gather and to freely explore their intuitive and healing gifts.
During that first meeting, the excitement was palpable. What began as a simple call to gather, quickly evolved into a series of meetings that challenged us all to let go of our long held fears and beliefs rooted in separation. The deeply personal work continued through 2010.
We then directed our attention to the more globally held patterns, and were challenged to raise not only our individual vibration but to put our focus on the collective consciousness. Since that time, we have learned that purity of heart coupled with laser sharp intention, fused with our great love for humanity, is what will ultimately transforms our world. When we gather, we are guided to allow our hearts to receive images, impressions and deep knowings of what is possible when we infuse that purity of heart into every aspect of society, the environment, the world's governance and the way that we are treated by one another.
We understand that we serve as activators, transformers, bridgbuilders and anchors of a new earth grid of oneness consciousness. Our work is to first work in the quantum field to create structure by allowing unconditional love to lead the way. Our work is to form a lighter, more honoring form of community, where all beings are honored, where all voices are heard.

Oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OPAHs) are byproducts of combustion and photo-oxidation
Oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OPAHs) are byproducts of combustion and photo-oxidation of parent PAHs. XAN exposures increased expression of several oxidative stress related genes and decreased oxygen consumption rate (OCR), a measurement of mitochondrial respiration. Comprehensive characterization of 38 structurally diverse OPAHs indicated differential AHR dependency and a prominent role for oxidative stress in the toxicity mechanisms. mortality and lower intelligence (Perera et al., 1998; Dejmek et al., 1999; Perera et al., 1999; Dejmek et al., 2000; Perera et al., 2006; Perera et al., 2009; Wu et al., 2010). Despite the more than two decades of intensive study devoted to parent PAHs, they are only part of the hazard spectrum from PAH contamination. Oxygenated PAHs (OPAHs) are transformation products of PAHs, toxic to humans and the environment and, until recently, a largely neglected class of contaminants at PAH contaminated sites (Lundstedt et al., 2007). OPAHs are ketone and quinone substituted PAHs deriving from the same sources of incomplete combustion and showing relatively high environmental mobility and persistence (Zielinska et al., 2004; Lundstedt et al., 2007; Simoneit et al., 2007; Medeiros and Simoneit, 2008; Layshock et al., 2010; Shen et al., 2011a; Shen et al., 2011b). It has been anticipated, though not yet clearly shown, that OPAH contamination may actually increase at sites remediated by methods that promote PAH degradation (Lundstedt et al., 2007) making them a potentially greater health hazard than the parent contamination. OPAHs are also secondarily produced through photo-oxidation reactions of PAHs with atmospheric oxidants, including ozone and nitrogen oxides (Yu, 2002; Vione Vargatef et al., 2004; Lundstedt et al., 2007; Wang et al., 2007). OPAHs are found on diesel soot particles, wood smoke Vargatef particles and gasoline engine soot (Rogge et al., 1993; Rogge et al., 1997; Mazurek, 2002; Layshock et al., 2010; Ding et al., 2012) and show an overall affinity for fine PM2.5 particle-association, raising their hazard potential because of the proclivity of PM2.5 to travel deep into the lung (Shen et al., 2011a). Diesel exhaust particles and associated PAH quinones and other oxygenated derivatives are involved in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can result in inflammatory responses Rabbit Polyclonal to SLC39A1. and are suspected to be a major driver of pulmonary oxidative stress and consequent cardiovascular disease in urban areas (Chung et al., 2006; Nemmar et al., 2011; Channell et al., 2012). Airborne OPAH concentrations have been highly correlated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, suggesting that oxidative stress is one of the toxicity mechanisms for aerosol-induced human health effects (Sklorz et al., 2007). PAHs and OPAHs in ambient particulate matter samples increased oxygen free radical formation, as measured by electron spin resonance, and some of these OPAHs were directly involved in ROS generation (Sklorz et al., 2007). Oxidative stress was a component of the developmental toxicity induced by the OPAHs – and -naphthoflavone in zebrafish (Timme-Laragy et al., 2009). Some PAHs have demonstrated carcinogenic potential (Okona-Mensah et al., 2005) and contributed to the mutagenic activity of ambient aerosols (Pedersen et al., 2004; Pedersen et al., 2005; Avellaneda et al., 2011; Kim et al., 2011). The OPAH and nitro-PAH fractions of air samples from Beijing, China were Vargatef shown to be twice as mutagenic as the parent PAH fraction, though no further specification of the fractions was made (Wang et al., 2011). OPAH derivatives have been reported as highly mutagenic compounds in a study of human-cell mutagens in respirable airborne particles from the northeastern United States (Pedersen et al., 2004). Numerous and toxic effects of PAH quinones have been described, but little is known about the developmental effects of OPAH exposure. Inference can be drawn from the known toxicology of napthoquinones, which bind to biomacromolecules; and quinones.

I'm sitting on a huge, soft leather chair in the covered sunroom of the community house. It's one of the hottest places on the base but also one of my favorites. It's bright and lively with laughter and clattering from the kitchen around the corner and people having DMCs (Deep Meaningful Conversations) at tables and sofas all over the room.
This is a family. I was expecting to make some sort of close friendships along the trip but I did not anticipate the bonds that would form so quickly. We don't know each other well yet. But we're comfortable. I trust these people. I'm grateful for the way the staff has cultivated such a haven. For some of them, this has been their home for years and I know everyone I've talked to feels welcome. It's easy to share this space and life with them.
Yesterday was our first lecture. The speaker was incredibly inspiring. He shared his heart and his story, got to know us personally, and dropped truth bomb after truth bomb. This week we are studying The Character and Nature of God. There's no way I could type out all that I learned in that short session but I'll put up some of it.
Jason (speaker) began by talking about how we communicate and connect with God. He's talented as a communicator and was very interactive in his talks. We did an exercise of sorts where we sat across from someone and looked them in the eye. Literally that. No laughing, no talking, just looking.
I think it taught us all a lot. At first it was awkward. Intense eye contact is usually reserved for serious moments and even the used cautiously. Then as we got used to it, it became easier. We started looking and not caring about being looked at. I learned a lot about the person I was staring at. I began to be able to tell when she had an interesting thought or when she relaxed or when she seemed to have found something in my eyes.
Jason told us to stop and we all looked it him and laughed partly out of "that was awkward" and partly "oh my gosh that was cool." He asked us how long we felt like that was and most of us said about a minute or two. Turns out it was almost five.
He then began to explain how we don't need to use words to communicate. Language is one way, and often a very important way, of communicating but, by no means, the only. He continued to explain how God can use a look, a smile, a feeling, or anything else really to get his point across. The sunrise can say I love you just as well as an audible voice. He knows how to get to you. He knows your heart of hearts. He created you, thus he knows how to speak to you.
There are many attributes to God. He's so many things at once. Just as I am daughter, sister, friend, artist, etc. I am all of these things but I don't have only one way of operating. God is many things but works from the place of a father if you need it. Or counselor. Or friend. Or lord. He is all of these and more and he communicates and partners with you and where you are to talk to you.
I really love that about him. He meets you where you are. In all of his glory and vastness, he takes the effort to know you. He sees you in where you're feeling, believing, operating and moves accordingly.

An Easy History of St Mary's, East Barnet by Richard Selby
A very long time ago, the Abbot of St Albans needed timber to build his Abbey.There was a forest of trees around the valley where Oakhill Park now lies and it was home to many animals, deer, wild pigs and wolves. The monks of St Albans formed a colony of woodmen and swineherds at Osidge and Monken Frith.
A little chapel was built on the top of this hill and it was dedicated to St Mary the Virgin. The Abbott consecrated it in 1080AD and he became both Patron and Rector until the Reformation.
The locality became known as Baernet, 'an area cleared by burning'. We know this because Baernet is mentioned in the Gesta Abbatum (The Deeds of the Abbots) in 1080AD and also a papal bull dated 1140 listing all of the possessions of St Albans. The first chapel had thick walls made of compressed rubble, lime and plaster with stone around the openings. The windows had no glass. Much of the north wall of our church is from that time. The frame of the door on the south side is probably also from that same period. The chapel might have had a curved end called an apse.
The Abbot of St Albans, who was then also the Lord of the Manor, was granted a charter by King John to establish a market at [High] Barnet in 1199. From this action the town obtained its name Chipping Barnet, the word 'Chipping' being derived from the Anglo-Saxon 'ceap' meaning a bargain or market. The church on Chipping Barnet hill was probably founded in the middle of the 13th century, almost certainly as a chapel-at-ease to that of St Mary at [East] Barnet. We know it had been built by Michaelmas 1276 because a court roll entry refers to 'an obstruction on the road leading to the church of Barnet and the market'.
Nevertheless, it did not become a separate parish church for six hundred years. At St Mary's, glass had been put in the windows by the 13th century and some of it is still there today. The apse was replaced in the 1400's with a larger chancel and a porch would have been constructed to protect the door.
The church at Chipping Barnet served the needs of those who dwelt in the surrounding hamlets. In 1420 the building was burned down, except for the north wall, and a new church was built and dedicated to the death of John the Baptist (Aug 28th).
Among the chronicles of St Albans Abbey are the annals of Walsingham, who lived in the reign of Henry the Sixth. He records that in 1423 the Archbishop of Canterbury passed through Barnet, and the rector and priest were reprimanded for not ringing the church bells in his honour. When the offence was repeated the following year, the Archbishop ordered the church doors to be sealed as a punishment.
In 1539, King Henry VIII's dissolution of the Monastery of St Albans meant that he took over the ownership of the Manor of Chipping & East Barnet. His son, King Edward VI then sold on the Manor of East Barnet in 1553 but kept the advowson (patronage) for himself. To this day the sovereign is still our patron. It is thought that our church may have had three altars in Tudor and Stuart times. The first gallery was built during the reign of King James I in 1619 probably as a schoolroom.
By the early 1700's there were a few large houses in East Barnet. The only one which we can see today is Oak Hill House. It was built in 1790 in the grounds of an older mansion called 'Le Monkefrieth' which had been there since 1273. Its name meant the monks woodland but Monkfrith was demolished in 1937. Next door to the church was the medieval Manor House which was replaced by Church Hill House in 1610. In 1690, Thomas Trevor bought it and called it Trevor Park. This in turn was demolished in 1820 and replaced by a second Church Hill House in 1860. This too was taken down in 1930s but its lodge still stands. East Barnet village began to spread down the hill to where Pymmes Brook was widest (Reginald Pymm lived nearby in 1303). Before that it was known as 'Medeseye' which meant 'slow meadow stream'. Doggett Hill was named after the 13th century Doggett family but later became known as Cat Hill – probably because of the 15th century name for the area, Katbrygge.
In 1794 a wooden turret was erected on the church. It contained three small bells. Just on the brow of Cat Hill there was a huge mansion as early as 1291. It was known to be in the ownership of a Richard atte Den and he called it Danegrove. The house had changed its name by 1556 to Littlegrove and it was bought by Henry Parker [a citizen and painter-stainer] in 1653. He died in 1670, and when it was in the ownership of John Cotton in 1719 he changed its name again to New Place. This didn't last for long because it had reverted to Littlegrove by the start of the 1800s. It was enlarged by Frederick Cass, a gentleman and magistrate of the Liberty of St Albans, who employed many house staff and groundsmen. His son, the historian and Rector of St Mary's, Hadley, added a chapel and a west wing and a lake. The house was demolished in 1932. Some evidence of its gardens can still be seen in the grounds of houses in Cat Hill.
By the 18th century the roof space of our church was being used as a vestry and store so a dormer window was knocked through above the porch. Not far from Monkfrith still stands Osidge House, but it is a rebuild of a previous mansion. It was owned by Thomas Conyers in 1612 – who also owned Monkfrith and Church Hill House. He was the bailiff of St Albans so he must have been very wealthy. After he died it was bought by George Hadley in 1652, rebuilt in 1767, bought by Augustus Bosanquet in 1843 who 'married one of the Belmont girls'. When he died in 1883 his widow sold it to Sir Thomas Lipton, the grocer. He ran his large business affairs from this house especially his tea plantations. The house was rebuilt on his death and is now used as a home for retired nurses. Belmont was the new name for Mount Pleasant, which was owned by Elias Ashmole, the founder of the Asmolean Museum in Oxford. It became a school called Heddon Court at which Sir John Betjeman once taught but it was demolished in the 1930s.
A church warden in 1805 decided to raise the walls by four feet and create a new roof over the old. A new window was installed and later the turret was replaced by an octagonal belfry. The belfry stayed only for eleven years until 1828 when the tower was built. It was separated from the church by the width of the old porch. It is in the neo-Norman style and was reported at the time, "This unpleasant construction absorbed, it is believed, the larger part of subscriptions destined to the general improvement of the edifice." Clearly it was not met by unanimous praise but it was built in a year. In 1861 two bells cast at the Whitechapel Foundry were manufactured by Mears of London. The larger was cracked so they were replaced by the present three bells in 1960, donated to the memory of Mr & Mrs Taylor. Although the tower is only fifty feet high, because of the church's position on the hill top it can be seen from a very long way, often surmounted by a flag blowing in the breeze.
In 1849, G E Street, the architect of the Law Courts in the Strand, undertook some minor alterations in the church and uncovered a medieval piscina and some patterned wall paintings. In the 1860s the Church Farm School, next door to St Mary's, had many boys who attended the church and sang in the choir. It was decided in 1868 to extend the church and add another aisle. The extension was built and the south wall of the church demolished and replaced by arches. A door was pierced into the tower to provide an entry to the south aisle and a flank door allowed access to the graveyard. By 1869 the historic box pews had been replaced and choir stalls had been installed. In 1872 the Lych Gate was erected at a cost of £130. The stile beside it was to stop animals entering the churchyard and grazing on the poisonous yew berries. In 1875 the painted window of the Annunciation was placed in the west end of the north aisle [under the gallery] to commemorate the foundation of the church by the abbey. This was later removed. It is probable that the roof on the new south aisle would have been finished before the arches were opened to the nave.
Also in 1875, the parish church of Chipping Barnet was rebuilt with a new south aisle and tower, the nave was lengthened and roof refurbished. In the 1880s, the main chancel of St Mary's was lengthened by twelve feet incorporating a new east window celebrating the Annunciation of St Mary. This was presented by a churchwarden at a cost of £100. The choir stalls were doubled in length. The chancel roof was reshaped and the organ chamber was constructed as a transept. The present gallery was completed for the choir and it also housed a barrel organ which had been given by Sir Simon Houghton-Clark, the 9th. Baronet of Oak Hill fifty years previously. The rector's vestry was underneath the gallery at the back of the church.
The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw many tombs erected in the graveyard. The impressive memorial on the north-east corner is to Sir Simon Houghton-Clark and is sited so that it can be seen from Oak Hill House where he died in 1832.
And so St Mary's entered the twentieth century. Its daughter chapel at High Barnet had been declared a separate parish in 1866, and other parishes had been dedicated all around. When the railway arrived in the 1850's, the tracks virtually isolated St Mary's parish. The district above the line was given its own church in 1868 when Holy Trinity was built on the site of Lyonsdown House, another large and impressive mansion. St James in New Barnet was dedicated in 1911 when the town started to blossom because of new industry coming into the area, the opening of railway stations at (New) Barnet and later at Oakleigh Park. Many new roads of affordable houses were built for the London commuters.
More and more people moved into the parish and St Mary's flourished. In 1911 the vestry extension was completed and the area below the gallery was cleared. The 1875 window at the west end was removed and at the same time, the doorway under the gallery in the north wall was reopened after having been bricked up for a number of years. Electricity was at last installed and for the first time in 800 years parishioners could enjoy their church other than by candle light. Eventually in 1920 the present organ was constructed and sited in the organ chamber.
During the Second World War the church was damaged by enemy action which required much of the roof and some walls to be repaired. The east window in the south aisle was installed in 1950 incorporating a war memorial. A major rebuild of the organ took place in 1984.
The nave of the present church still stands on the foundations of the original chapel more than 925 years later.

Why should you go to a concert under the stars "Mystery of Sound"?
- Armenian duduk - "the soul of an apricot tree"
First there was Sound. Then the sounds of the primary vibrations and harmonics merged into the Music of the Celestial spheres, the music of the universe ... We can experience these sensations in our "Mystery" with you. With the help of music, we will return to the very sources, the sources of creation. At this concert only live music will sound, which gives peace of mind, a feeling of lightness and harmonious fullness.
Fortunately, the stars will be near us ... under the dome of the Planetarium. Though stretch your hand ... At the level of spiritual perception you can observe how sounds originating from the outside, in outer space, will manifest internally - this is the "Mystery of Sound".
The entrance to the Star Hall after the beginning of the concert is prohibited.

Meet The High Schooler Holding The March For Our Lives Movement Together
Parkland school shooting survivor Jaclyn Corin told BuzzFeed News how she's building a grassroots organization behind the scenes — and how she plans to balance that now that she's back in school.

Teens do not flock to Jaclyn Corin for selfies like they do to Emma González, the face of the March for Our Lives movement. Jaclyn's tweets, unlike David Hogg's, don't drive news cycles.
Jaclyn, instead, is more of a behind-the-scenes "captain," said MFOL strategist Matt Deitsch.
"Real Gs" like her, he quipped, "move in silence."
March for Our Lives just wrapped a 60-day national bus tour, spreading its anti–gun violence message from Illinois to Connecticut, building relationships with high schoolers starting offshoot organizations, going on a media blitz, and, perhaps most importantly, reinforcing to teens nationwide that the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre survivors are still the young, immovable faces of the movement.
The "Road to Change" tour was Jaclyn's moment, befitting her quieter role in the group: She is the manager, the scheduler, the briefer, the details person. She even scrubbed the damn bus bathroom on Thursday.
"She got on a cleaning spree," Emma told BuzzFeed News, "and cleaned the entire bus in, like, an hour."
Remy Smidt/BuzzFeed News
Jaclyn Corin speaks at the tour's final stop in Newtown, Connecticut.
Now the bus tour is over, Jaclyn, 17, and the team are strategizing on how that momentum translates into November's midterm elections — and beyond that. They'll definitely continue to travel, "especially to colleges."
What they won't do is endorse candidates — they can't because they're a nonprofit, and Jaclyn said members of the group have differing political opinions anyway.
"There are people that aren't all on the right, or on the left, in the internal March for Our Lives. We do disagree and we have debates on other things, but something we all agree on is this nonpartisan issue," Jaclyn said, adding she personally is not a one-issue voter.
"It's all about endorsing policy" — such as their calls for universal background checks and a high-capacity magazine ban — "not people," she said.
She also has a different view about how some of the teen activists can leverage their enormous power on Twitter.
Cameron Kasky, for his part, tweeted hours after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez upset an establishment Democrat in her primary, "This is AWESOME. We need more people like Alexandria in office." Hogg called her the "future president."
Kasky also drew attention to Sen. Ted Cruz's competitor in Texas, Beto O'Rourke, calling his campaign "remarkable."
While Jaclyn thinks this is "okay," it's not her approach. "I don't agree with them doing that," she said. "I think that they should just think that."

"Sometimes I'll call people out by stating a fact or something, but I won't publicly go out there and be like, 'This person is amazing. I want to be like them.' I would never tweet about that. I can just keep it in my head," she said.
"People are a little impulsive," she said, "because we're teens and we get mad."
She also was a bit too busy to tweet this summer while on the road. "I often, like, don't go on Twitter all the time, every hour, and look up things," she said, laughing. "Like, I have other shit to do."
Jaclyn spoke to BuzzFeed News last Wednesday while sitting in a dim church stairwell in Perkasie, Pennsylvania, with the voices of student panelists and applause from one of the group's final summer town halls audible in the distance.
"I'm good at getting into the grimy little details that people tend to wipe off and say, 'Oh, that will get done,'" she said. "I'm the one creating all the everyday agendas. I'm the one actually making people aware of what's going on, telling people what we're going to be doing."
She's also the point person for the "adults" of the group. March for Our Lives contracts with a major public relations firm, works with seasoned movement organizations, has an advance team, and has a board of directors filled with experts in their field. "What most of the staff did was help us do the things that I couldn't do, like book hotel rooms," she said.
Emma said that Jaclyn was the one who connected with local chapters for the tour. "Say we're going to Las Vegas and we're meeting up with Las Vegas survivors," she said, "somebody needs to make sure the MFOL Las Vegas knows that's what we're trying to do."
Jaclyn (kneeling front and center) with a group of local activists in Philadelphia.
"Jackie's that person," she said, adding Jaclyn is "holding most of the strings on the balloons."
Jaclyn has been focused on the "grimy little details" from the beginning. The Sunday after the Feb. 14 mass shooting, she spent the night finishing what she called an "essay." It was essentially a press release for the group's first major action that she spearheaded: a bus trip for students to the state capitol to lobby for gun legislation.
This summer, the group traveled across the country, picking up other teenage activists along the way, registering people to vote, and cementing their relationships with local MFOL chapters, community groups, and teens who were activists long before the mass shooting in Parkland. Jaclyn worked 18 to 19 hours a day during the tour, her colleagues told BuzzFeed News.
Her skill, she said, isn't coming up with the ideas — but making sure the ideas are carried through. "I'm the person who will actually carry out those ideas and make it real, and make sure everything gets done perfectly, because I'm very anal when it comes to getting things done properly, and effectively, and putting out positive and proper messaging," she said.
The team registered more than 10,000 people to vote via the QR code on their merchandise, which opens the March for Our Lives website when scanned. They will soon be releasing numbers on the rest of their voter registration efforts this summer.
"Without her, this tour wouldn't exist."
"Without her, this tour wouldn't exist," Deitsch said of Jaclyn. "It's simple as that."
The national organization's next goal, Jaclyn said, is "building a clear-cut road of communication" between the local groups and the Parkland teens so they can be "in constant communication with kids across the country." This lets them "reach us if they have questions or advice."
To do this, they're in the process of building out Slack channels with local groups in Washington, Illinois, New Mexico, California, Iowa, and North Carolina. They're currently in communication with about 100 people — the idea is to grow that number significantly.
"It's all about personalizing how we can build out [for] the long term in every individual community," she said, by holding voter registration barbecues and town halls. "Grassroots is how you get the vote out."
Local groups can canvass for "the officials in their community that agree with" their agenda.
"It could be a Republican, it could be a Democrat, it could be a freaking Green Party member," she said.

Last first day of high school... #MSDStrong 🎓
10:42 AM - 15 Aug 2018
Following an emotional spring after the attack, and an exhausting summer on the road, Jaclyn returns to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Wednesday.
She intends to "finish what I started" — that is, getting her diploma.
She finds herself existing in two different worlds at the same time: the very public movement, and all of the time constraints it brings her and her fellow teen activists, and her ultimate desire to eventually go back to a quiet, normal teen life.
She's taking fewer AP classes so that she can keep up with the organizing work. But she's also excited to have a part of her life that is, for the first time in months, private.
"I'm not made for doing magazine cover shoots," she said. "I'm not made for taking picture upon picture with all these kids — I love it, but it's not something I expected to do with my life."
"I didn't sign up to be a model. I didn't sign up to be a motivational public speaker."
"I didn't sign up to be a model," she said. "I didn't sign up to be a motivational public speaker. It just came with the job and I accept that responsibility. But ultimately, I want to, we want to, go back and try to lead a normal life."
Still, the pull to the movement is strong. "This wasn't just a one-year affair," she said about the group's efforts. She's still looking forward to traveling through the midterms.
Speaking of those elections: Jaclyn turns 18 on Oct. 27. She'll be able to vote come November.

This recipe is from Grandmother Elaine Smith. It is such a yummy dish. Elaine said there are no longer cans of 'cream of shrimp soup' in the stores so she makes a white sauce and adds fresh small shrimp to the sauce. I don't know if she uses evaporated canned milk in place of regular milk or not.
Place fish in buttered casserole. Pour sauce over well buttered fish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and stir until the butter and flour are well combined. Pour in milk, stirring constantly as it thickens. Add more milk depending on desired consistency.


There is nothing better than playing hooky. Leave your responsibilities, your obligations, your worries behind and go play! This is exactly what my husband and I did on a Friday afternoon while the kids were in school.
Perhaps Japan's most famous culinary exports are sushi (寿司 or 鮨), usually raw fish over vinegared rice, and sashimi (刺身), plain raw fish.
Nothing like a bottle of Pinot Gris with the Boonville Hotel's Choucroute Garrnie. ... FILLING. 3# Honey Crisp ... Prepping yeast to be added to wine fermentations.


I AM GLAD THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE WORK OF EINFACHHELFEN.
When I moved to South Africa in 2003, I was struck by the beauty of the country, and devastated by the poverty that prevails there. Daily, I passed through the slum Sir Lowry's Pass Village on my way home. From the start, I felt an urgent need to help. Through friends, I first met Emily and then later the former headmaster of the school, Mr. MacDonals. One thing soon led to another and the first two projects were born: Help for Emily's Soupkitchen and the school sponsorship for the Sir Lowry's Pass Primary School.
Since then, several projects have been realized and new ones added continuously: the swimming project, the homework classes, the teaching assistants. For some time, my friends Anja and Sandra have been helping me on site. Of course, we all are volunteers. Administrative costs do not exist! Take your time to look at the individual projects. Thank you for your interest.
Since 2007 I've been trying, through the sponsorships, to give the children at the Sir Lowry's Primary School a better chance for their academic futures.
With the sponsorship fees of 90 euros per year, we support both the sponsor children and the school. The sponsor children receive all the necessary stationery each year, as well as a new school uniform and a birthday present. When the children have outgrown their school uniform, it is of course not simply thrown away, but rather passed onto younger siblings or other family members. .
Additionally, the fees pay for the salary of two assistant teachers.
This is incredibly important and necessary, as the classes are excessively overcrowded, with a student to teacher ratio of more than 40 to 1. Particularly for the lower Grades, a regulated routine is impossible. Many children start school without any pre-schooling. Even holding a pencil or scissors is totally unfamiliar to them. Therefore we want to diffuse the situation in the overcrowded classrooms a bit, with an assistant teacher. For this, we chose two committed women (Arren and Marchal), also from Sir Lowry's Pass Village, who thereby receive a regular income.
The rest of the money is used to help children who either are in desperate need of something themselves, or whose family is in need.
Normally the teachers and the new headmaster Charlton de Morney suggest the children. They have to prove themselves in the first year of their sponsorship, by regularly attending school, trying hard, and not attracting negative attention.
If it turns out that the younger children are struggling to complete their homework at home, they can attend our homework classes in the afternoons free of charge (see also this project, that is fully funded through the sponsorship fees.) .
At the beginning of the school year (January) we are always looking for new sponsors. Please let me know in advance, if you would like to help, and take over a sponsorship.
My friend Sandra Mess has supported me in the organization of the sponsorships since the beginning of 2015. Of course also voluntarily. She is involved with a lot of love and I am very happy to have found a very energetic help in her.
In the slums of South Africa, learning to swim is not the norm and even most adults can't swim. Every year, countless people, including many children, drown. After only recently two more children drowned nearby, it was clear that action was necessary!
Often they are unable to work at home without being disrupted, or there is simply no suitable space. Therefore we offer homework classes in the afternoons. Zoleka supervises and helps the younger children in the facilities of the School. She also lives in the township Sir Lowry's Pass Village and is able to earn a small salary through this work. This project is fully funded by the sponsorship fees.
Sir Lowry's Pass Village is a little village with lots of families and children with an underprivileged background. Thousands of people are living here in an inhumane condition.
Over 40 years ago, Emily's mother Lucy founded a soup kitchen. She felt a need to feed the many hungry children. Everything started with a couple of sandwiches. Through donations, the project was able to expand and later on Emily took over the soup kitchen.
In 2005, I met Emily. I have now supported her and her outstanding work for about 10 years.
Through the help of many sponsors, the kids now don't only receive a warm meal, but the soup kitchen has also turned into a kindergarten.
In 2013 and 2014 we were able to expand the school and now have three classrooms, which provide a safe space for the children. In summer, the rooms provide shade and in winter they provide a dry space. My friend Anja Dalton (see also About us) helped significantly with the expansion and organization, and was an important help in this demanding time. Emily's Soup Kitchen turned into Emily's Play School.
Emily has always been supported by a few women from the village. She herself has attended various trainings and courses. Some of the women want to follow in those steps and are waiting for the confirmation of a one-year training course. We have employed one more qualified teachers (Unita), who teaches the children age-accordingly.
Since Einfachhelfen also works closely with Sir Lowry's Pass Primary School, we frequently receive praise and confirmation that those children coming from Emily's Play School have been very well prepared for school.
We have completed the expansion and set the Play School onto a good path.
After many months of waiting, the government has now finally recognized and registered the Play School, and will in future provide financial support. Anja and I are very happy and proud, to be able to say that our work here is now complete. Emily will surely continue to ensure the children's happiness and a successful transition to primary school.
Junell and Carolyn, two assistant teachers who are financed through the sponsorship fees, help the teachers manage the overcrowded classes of more than 40 children.
Particularly with the younger children, this usually leads to major problems.
Therefore, part of Junell and Carolyn's job is to give support to the weaker students. They both also help us with the swimming project, in particular with the accompaniment on the bus to the swimming pool.


Amidst ancient cloisters, tall spires, leafy trees, dorms, the Upper Sixth, the 'quad', study teas, gowns and mortar boards dwells an indefatigably British spirit- that of the public school. Whether these surroundings actually do (or did) exist is a matter for conjecture- that they should exist a matter for poetical whimsy. It is against such a background that certain films stand like statues, their charm being undaunted by age or changing fashion- Boys Will Be Boys, Bottoms Up!- and now A French Mistress. More British than a Sunday roast eaten at Wimbledon, these films (which may have seemed even at the time either a throwback to a forgotten Tom Brown-esque era or to many a distant and unfamiliar phenomenon) are now valuable documents of social history, a reminder of a gentler time of respect, teamwork and tradition. It is a sad fact that, perhaps as a result of their perceptibly archaic status, such films are not widely available- rarely shown on television and often as not devoid of a video release. With DVD the situation is changing- and it is companies like Optimum that are to be thanked for dusting such scholastic treasures off and issuing them for the enjoyment of all.
One such title- A French Mistress is a good case in point. Frustratingly elusive since its original cinematic release in1960, the film's appearance on DVD is a very welcome one indeed. As the name implies, the film's main premise is the arrival of a new female French teacher in a male-dominated public school. There is though much more to the film than this brief synopsis might suggest, the content weaving an intricate story among the staff (in whose midst familiar faces reassuringly appear- Irene Handl, James Robertson Justice and the ever underrated Raymond Huntley to name but three). Agnes Laurent and Ian Bannen provide competent support, although Bannen more closely resembles Thorley Walters (playing Governor Colonel Edwards) than his Father, Headmaster John Crane (Cecil Parker). Indeed, the latter gives a superlative performance, once more excelling in the role of the hapless leader (with more than an echo of his King Roderick I in The Court Jester, made five years previously).
Perhaps the most refreshing things about A French Mistress are its lack of pomp and pretension- the film sticks to what it does well, and there are many moments that cause one to laugh out loud. Crucially, the moments of comedy are effortless- and not reliant on any dubious taste that seems to mark many more recent films. The print quality is excellent, the sound crisp and unmuddied, the whole experience a highly positive one. Ultimately, A French Mistress is a film that achieves what it set out to do- and provides over 90 minutes of genuinely delightful humour in the process.
A French Mistress is available on DVD from Optimum Home Entertainment.

Olive injured on Junior Kangaroos duty
Fri 6 May 2016, 09:00 AM
Titans outside back John Olive has returned to the club from Junior Kangaroos camp after suffering a serious shoulder injury at training.
The 19-year-old is set to be sidelined for an extended period after fracturing his collarbone, and will have further scans on the Gold Coast on Friday.
"It's pretty disappointing obviously, I was looking forward to wearing the green and gold jersey but injuries are part of the game so I just have to work hard as I can to get back," Olive said.
Gold Coast's Brian Kelly will replace Olive in the starting side, while Sydney Roosters' Nat Butcher has been added to the squad.


The Olde English Sheepdog's origin can be traced to the early 19th century and was originally bred in west England. Devon, Somerset, and Duchy of Cornwall are believed to have been the first counties for the breed to appear in. The breed it originated from is unclear, though some say Scotch Bearded Collie and the Russian Owtchar. The Old English Sheepdog Club of American was started in 1904 and the breed was officialy recognized by the AKC in 1905.
-The gait of the Old English Sheepdog is much like that of a bear's shuffle.

Study: Reflect on a moment when you gave generously of your time, resources, or money. What was the cost, and what did you discover?
Pray: Take time to thank the Lord for the blessings lavished upon you. Cultivate gratitude in your heart and express it in your life.
Serve: Who has the Lord placed in your life to serve? How can your life be a blessing of generous giving to another?
Let's look at how this theme surfaces throughout these readings.
Earthly blessings. The psalm reminds us that God is the source of all that we have, and it begs a simple point: Are we grateful? I know firsthand how easy it is to take even the simplest blessings for granted. All it takes is to lose something that is part of our routine (health, work, friendship) to rediscover the gift that was right in front of our eyes.
Spiritual Salvation. Jesus Christ offers his life once-for-all that through his death and resurrection we might have eternal life. The Father gave his only Son that we might be saved. This profound act of divine generosity speaks of a love that is vast and all encompassing. God does this for us!
Profound human generosity. These two women gave from their need, not their want. It was not surplus food or money…it was their livelihood. It is crucial to note that no gift is too big or small in God's eyes; what's crucial is the relationship between the offering and the person – is it given as a token or as something of value?
Do we take time to acknowledge the blessings we have? No really…do we pause in the course of our day – in a moment of prayer – and thank the Lord for the gifts we have been given? Let me be clear: without gratitude generosity means nothing, for without thankfulness we have no appreciation and respect for the gift that is given.
And equally crucial point follows: Do we give generously? Do we share what we have in a manner that shows our prayer and reflection? All gifts, great or small, are precious in the Lord's eyes when they are offered in a spirit of love; all gifts, great or small, lose their significance when they are given without respect for the sacrifices and blessings they represent.
Simply put: we give generously out of gratitude for God's generous gifts to us! Take a moment this week to pause and reflect on your blessings. Then consider the ways that you can offer your life. Whether it is with time, talent, or treasure – God will take our gifts, generously given, and make them a blessing in the world.

The parade coincided with a visit from Mrs. Ella St. Clair Thompson, an organizer from the National Woman's Party . The NWP had been founded by Alice Paul and focused on securing an amendment that prohibited voting discrimination based on sex.
The 1915 Santa Fe suffrage parade is a good example of American women's cooperation across ethnic lines. They had designated four women – two Anglos and two Hispanic women, the latter Aurora Lucero and Arabella Romero – to give speeches formally asking the Senator to support the federal amendment when he returned to Washington. He declined and lectured the women at great length on why they were wrong to demand the vote. Nevertheless, their cause gained great visibility in the capital and in the press coverage.
This means that when people look at your sexy Latin lover and think she's only good for "that," it isn't just because ofModern Family and Desperate Housewives. There are real-life obstacles for Latina women to develop their careers and ambitions. Because the Latina ethnicity encompasses a large variety of people, including people of various races from various countries, it is difficult to define the Latina Family experience in a simple way.
Access to health care and culturally sensitive programs have shown to make a significant difference. Long viewed primarily as a men's disease, heart disease strikes women in great numbers. For Hispanic women, it is the second leading cause of death, just behind cancer.
According to a Colorado State University study, Latinas are victims of a broken educational pipeline, meaning they are underrepresented in honors, advanced placement and gifted and talented programs. This disparity, the researchers argue, is not due to a lack of intellectual capabilities, but rather a deficiency in opportunities.
These domestic abuse struggles result from a combination of violent partners and bureaucratic complications of the US immigration system. Domestic issues among immigrants are potentially exacerbated by language barriers, economic dependence, low levels of education and income, poor knowledge of services, undocumented status, lack of a support system, and the immigration experience in general. According to the Rutgers School of Social Work, around 17% of Latina immigrants are victims of Domestic Violence.
Assuming, consistent with the existing literature, that the election rather than subsequent events marked the onset of stress among Latina women, these peaks would correspond to infants conceived or in their second trimester of gestation around the time of the election. Our analyses included live male and live female singleton births from January 1, 2009, through July 30, 2017; nearly one-quarter of these births (23.5%) were to Latina women. Preterm infants represented 11.0% of male and 9.6% of female births to Latina women and 10.2% and 9.3% of those to other women.
The research team measured levels of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies to estimate rates of exposure to the novel coronavirus in pregnant women cared for at two Philadelphia hospitals. They found that, overall, 6.2 percent of these women possessed antibodies to the virus, but with significant variation across racial and ethnic groups — 9.7 percent in Black women, 10.4 percent in Hispanic/Latina women, 2.0 percent in White/Non-Hispanic women, and 0.9 percent in Asian women. But while Latina teens have amuch higher rateof teenage pregnancies than their white peers, they don't have sex more often than their white counterparts. In fact, a2009 studylooking at sexual health factors in teens by race and ethnicity shows that the female rate of teenage intercourse for Latinas and non-Latina whites are identical, with 45% of teen girls from both racial/ethnic groups reporting having had sex.
However, with the support, guidance and education, she received from the IE-NLBWA she gained confidence in converting from a business owner to an entrepreneur! Since her experience with the IE-NLBWA Leadership & Entrepreneur program, she has co-founded two other businesses. EMPOWER ME NOW LLC, a leadership motivational training center that focuses on offering training to develop professionals and leaders at the same time maintaining compliance and Just like Grandma's house day care LLC a daycare in low income communities for low income working parents. Since Hispanic women continue to be over-represented in low-wage jobs, policies that lift wages at the bottom will have a significant impact on their wages.
Top Cancer Sites For Hispanics (2012
It is important to note that Latino/a is an ethnic category, and one that encompasses various racial groups. Latinas are women of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Central American, South American, or Spanish origin. Though Brazil is part of Latin America, it is not a Spanish-speaking country, and is excluded from the category of Latinos by the United States Census office. Currently, there are over 20 million immigrant women residing in the United States.
The sessions took place on consecutive Thursday evenings at the Miami–Dade County HIV/AIDS Office, with 7 to 8 participants per group. A single trained Latina health educator delivered the general health intervention in Spanish to the women who were randomized to the comparison group.
Get honest information, the latest research, and support for you or a loved one with breast cancer right to your inbox. Furthermore, experts have suggested that the lower incidence of the disease in peers outside the U.S. means that Hispanic-American women with ties in Latin countries may be less likely to know someone who had the disease, which naturally makes these women less concerned that it could happen to them. Beyond that, though, the differences between Latinas in and outside the United States suggests that there could be lifestyle and environmental factors that contribute to the development of the disease in these women as well. Jean Campbell, MS, is a breast cancer survivor and advocate, and the founding director of the American Cancer Society Patient Navigator Program. Since 1979, the primary mission of the USHCC's has been to identify business opportunities for Hispanic-owned businesses in the public and private sectors.
However, ownership among Latina entrepreneurs has grown immensely over the past 15 years. College graduation rates for Latinas have increased faster than any other group of women. More than 50 years after the passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, Latina's typically earn only 54 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men and must work nearly 23 months to earn what white men earn in 12 months. Latina Equal Pay Day — the day when Latina pay catches up to that of white, non-Hispanic men from the previous year — is being observed likely in November of 2020. Latinas start businesses at record numbers and earn college degrees at nearly twice the rate of their male counterparts.
Please be more thorough before jumping to conclusions or making accusations when read through content. This is a gross article that reduces Latina women and people to stereotypes.
Organizers said they felt that Black and https://photogrotto.com/puerto-rican-girl-pros-and-cons/ had been ignored for too long in Santee. March organizers implored protesters, who were wearing face coverings, to not in any way engage with the counter-protesters, who were mostly white men.

Syrian soldiers and government supporters have blocked American troops as their convoy drove through an army checkpoint in the northern al-Hasakah governorate, according to Step News Agency.
Local media reported that residents of the village of al-Kuzliya in the al-Hasakah province threw stones at the American army personnel, prompting a rare clash.
A video posted on Step News Agency's website showed government supporters and soldiers with rifles that blocked U.S. military convoy. not allowing seven armored vehicles to drive to the village.
The U.S. military had to turn around and find another way. According to the agency, a similar incident occurred the day before.
With support from Russia, Syrian troops have been on the offensive for weeks in Idlib and parts of nearby Aleppo provinces, unleashing a humanitarian crisis with 700,000 people fleeing their homes and surging north toward the Turkish border.
Tensions in northern Syria intensified in February after Syrian government forces attacked Turkish troops.

Government working with Spain on child migrants
Un migrant clandestin rapatrié au Sénégal de l'archipel espagnol des Canaries (Pierre Holtz/IRIN)
The Senegalese government said it is tackling the issue of child migrants, after a human rights group released a scathing report on the plight of African migrant children who have ended up in the Canary Islands.
"We have a whole lot of things in the pipeline [on this issue]," said Moustapha Ly, diplomatic adviser in charge of immigration at the Senegalese Ministry of the Interior.
He said Spain and Senegal signed an agreement dealing with unaccompanied migrant children on 5 December 2006, and Senegal is currently working with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to study the issue of child migrants.
A 26 July report by Human Rights Watch (HRW) said hundreds of unaccompanied migrant children from Africa – mostly teenagers from Senegal and Morocco – were being held in dangerous conditions in the Canary Islands, where they were beaten and left hungry.
The government of Senegal would not comment on the report when contacted by IRIN.
"We need time to study the report, up and down, left and right," said Moustapha Ly. He said only that the government had the means to confirm or reject the information in the report because its representatives have recently been in Spain to identify Senegalese migrants.
The HRW report, entitled Unwelcome Responsibilities: Spain's Failure to Protect the Rights of Unaccompanied Migrant Children in the Canary Islands, said 931 migrant boys arrived on the Canary Islands after dangerous journeys in makeshift boats in 2006.
"The conditions are almost prison-like," said Simone Troller, author of the report and children's rights researcher with Human Rights Watch. "These children are at serious risk."
Between 400 and 500 of them are being held in overcrowded emergency centres set up by regional authorities to deal with the surge of arrivals. They sleep in cold rooms, get only three hours of education per week, and are sometimes fed only bread and water, the report said.
One testimony from a 17-year-old boy read: "When we tell them that we are hungry, they tell us that we were starving in Senegal and should be happy to be given food at all."
The HRW report also documented scars on the bodies of the children, who said they were subjected to violence and sexual harassment by staff members. At the La Eseranza centre on the island of Tenerife, children described a "punishment cell" where they were beaten and locked up sometimes for several days at a time.
"Children described it as a filthy, windowless and airless cell of a few square metres in which 'it was even difficult to breathe'. Children locked up in this room had to urinate and defecate on the floor as they were not allowed to go to the toilet," the report said.
The children have no mechanism for complaints; no access to a lawyer; no process through which to file a claim for asylum; and the "most shocking thing," Troller told IRIN, is "the pointing of fingers" between the regional authorities on the Canary Islands and the national government in Spain, with neither taking responsibility for the situation.
Explosion in West African migration
Of the 931 children who arrived in the Canary Islands, half came from Senegal, a third from Morocco, 12 percent from Mali, and the rest from other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, including Mauritania, Côte d'Ivoire and Sierra Leone.
Irregular migration from West Africa has long been a problem, but last year saw an explosion in the numbers. In 2006, 31,863 irregular migrants arrived on the Canary Islands – one of the main points of entry to Europe – up from 4,790 the previous year, according to the government of the Canary Islands.
Driven by economic disparity, political crises, conflicts, better job opportunities or obstacles to legal migration, West Africans risk their lives in the hope of a finding better life in Europe.
"These crossings are very dangerous," said Manuel Lopez Baumann, research and information officer in the IOM's West and Central Africa office, adding that 7,000 people are estimated to have died trying to get to the Canary Islands in 2006.
Action to stem migration
As an increasing number of migrants depart from Senegal, efforts to combat the irregular movement from that country are significant.
In April, the IOM and the Senegalese government announced a new project funded by the European Commission that will provide training and equipment to Senegalese civil servants working on migration issues, including at border crossings; help irregular migrants return voluntarily to their country and meaningfully reinsert themselves in society; raise awareness in Senegal about the dangers of irregular migration through an information campaign; and study the legislative framework surrounding the treatment of unaccompanied child migrants to make recommendations to the governments of Senegal, and France, Spain and Italy - three of the major recipients of irregular Senegalese migrants.
In June, Spanish Minister of the Interior Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba met his Senegalese counterpart, Ousmane Ngom, to announce the creation of training schools for Senegalese interested in legally migrating to Spain. The ministers also announced that FRONTEX, the external border security agency of the European Union, will extend its surveillance work along West African coasts until July 2008. Spanish and Italian boats and planes are currently patrolling Senegalese borders.
The efforts seem to be working. So far this year, irregular migrants arriving on the Canary Islands are down to about 4,000, according to the IOM.
Legal status issues
Despite a reduction in the numbers, irregular migrants who do arrive at their destination continue to present challenges to the receiving country, especially when they are children.
"They are stuck between the laws concerning children, which are very protective, and the laws concerning aliens, which are more repressive and less protective," said Timon Van Lidth, law and migration specialist with the IOM.
Once they turn 18, the migrants face a new set of challenges surrounding their illegal status in the country, he added.
Human Rights Watch insisted unaccompanied migrant children who arrive on foreign soil are entitled to special state protection and assistance.
"Even if these children have no right to remain in the country, while they are on Spanish territory the government of Spain is obliged to guarantee their full entitlements as spelled out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child," the report said.
Among its many recommendations, HRW said the Spanish and Canary Islands governments should close the emergency centres housing the migrant children, transfer them to care centres that are "conducive to children's well-being and development," and investigate the reports of abuses and ill-treatment.

Sooner or later in his discussion with a R.C. one must settle the fundamental question of "authority" (i.e. as to whether or not the papal claim of infallibility is a valid one). The following dialogue illustrates this point.
Question: "Mr. Roman Catholic, how do you know that purgatory really exists?"
Roman Catholic: "Because my Church teaches that it does."
Question: "But how do you know that what your Church teaches is right?
Roman Catholic: "Because my Church has the Pope who is infallible on matters like this."
Question: "But how do you know that he is infallible? (The discussion often terminates here if the R.C. insists that this must be accepted on "faith"). The discussion may, however, continue . . .
Roman Catholic: "Because Jesus gave this infallible authority to Peter and his successors, the bishops of Rome, as recorded in Matt. 16:18; Luke 22:32, and John 21:15-17.

The Ecosystem of Innovative and Creative Entrepreneurship: from Education to Successful Startups
Technology for Leadership
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is prompting more thinking about the avalanche of radical and profound changes occurring in the economy, business, society, and education. It is becoming clear that successful breakthroughs in innovative manufacturing must be based on new educational practices and technologies. Such an entrepreneurial ecosystem is always the result of collaboration between multiple players – state authorities, universities and business accelerators, non-profit organizations, research centres, venture funds, and big and small business. In this panel discussion, participants from Russia, Israel, and the United States will discuss the best international practices for creating an ecosystem for innovative entrepreneurship, the potential of introducing new educational practices, examples of using tools to directly and indirectly support startups, and ways to accelerate and promote projects at both the national and international levels.

PZC decision paves way for brewery to begin construction in Cheshire
Cheshire Town Hall, Mon., Mar. 16, 2020.Dave Zajac, Record-Journal
By Mariah Melendez, Cheshire Herald staff
CHESHIRE — Site plans for Counter Weight Brewing Company have officially been approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, paving the way for construction to begin.
"There is some earth work that needs to be done, including removal of a pile of material that's been there from the original construction," said Anthony Fazzone, a representative of Counter Weight and lawyer from the law firm of Fazzone, Ryan and Riccuti. "We are also seeking a waiver of section 9 of the earth removal regulations because there is some grading adjacent to the road (that's required)."
Counter Weight announced earlier this year its intentions to move from its current location in Hamden to 7 Diana Court, which is off East Johnson Avenue. Despite the pandemic potentially delaying the initial timeline, Counter Weight recently reiterated that it still plans to make the move.
"Currently, the property has a small office and warehouse, along with a small parking lot…" explained Ryan MacAvoy, from the design firm Milone and MacBroom. "What we are looking to do is keep the original building in place for office use, and then Counter Weight plans to add a 20,000 square foot brewery on the south central portion of the site, which will be connected to the existing office building with a greenhouse-like structure and a large patio area."
According to MacAvoy, the brewery will include a tap/tasting room and roughly 118 parking spaces.
"We are installing the new parking lot adjacent to the existing building and a new parking lot to the north of the existing building as well," MacAvoy said. "The south side of the building will also include loading areas for tractor trailers and small box trucks."
Commissioner Robert Brucato raised the issue of sewer use.
"There are public sewers available at Diana Court. We're going to be connecting into the public sewer system. We have gotten feasibility approval from the WPCA (water pollution control authority)," MacAvoy said.
"So there will be no trucking of waste-water or anything like that off the site?" asked Brucato. MacAvoy responded that there would not be.
Commissioner Jeff Natalie followed up with a question regarding possible noise complaints from any surrounding residential areas.
"I know as part of this plan there is a possibility of having events, and I assume those events would have music? Where is the closest residential property to this site?" Natalie asked.
"The only real residential property in the vicinity is a single family residence on East Johnson Ave...Beyond that I believe there is a residence further west on East Johnson, as you get closer to Highland Avenue. Beyond that I am not aware of any other residences," responded MacAvoy.
"We don't really foresee a lot of loud outdoor events," added Matt Westfall, one of the owners of Counter Weight. "Most of the lighter music would be inside and most likely not affect any of our neighbors."
The plan received unanimous support from the Commission.
