Looking for career that would help you shape the future of little minds? You might as well start your own daycare services.
A good daycare provides rich experiences, especially for a child ready to interact with other children, aged two and beyond. Based on a study released in March, 2007 by the National Institute of Health on a group of children through early childhood to the sixth grade, those given a high quality of childcare scored higher in 5th grade vocabulary tests.
A similar study in 2001 is indicative of benefits of daycare to children. Those who had high-quality care scored higher on tests of language, memory and other skills than did children of stay-at-home mothers or children in lower-quality daycare. Hence childcare services are crucial to child�s mental development. A solid foundation from a good daycare may ensure adequate early childhood education. From a parental perspective, good daycare complements good parenting.
Some people make a decent living or supplement a spouse�s income by running a childcare service of their own. Most consider that it allows the more time to be with their children while and still be enables them to contribute to the family budget. If you are on the same thought, now is the time for you to start your own daycare services.
You have the option to go full-time on this career. Some earn as much as 3,000 dollars a month, and make a solid 40, 000 dollars annually. However, this all depends to a great degree, on starting your own daycare services right and putting all efforts towards providing the best care you could give to your charges. Loyal patronage starts from a solid reputation and giving it your best shot. These are thoughts for you to think over as you start your own daycare services.
Daycare services is the best options to those people who have not times to care their child . thanks for sharing these info.

During this strange lull in the (endless) development of the federal climate bill, I've been mulling over a few political notions.
First: voters don't generally know much about politics or policy. They have things they do know a lot about (American Idol, baseball teams, accounting software, scrapbooking), but for most voters, politics and policy aren't among them. Voters use crude heuristics to assess legislative proposals. This runs somewhat counter to the idealized Enlightenment view, which goes something like this: Voters
gather facts,
draw conclusions from the facts,
form issue positions based on the conclusions, and
choose a political party that shares those issue positions.
The best evidence from political science shows that the process is almost exactly the reverse. Voters:
choose a tribe or party based on value affiliations,
adopt the issue positions of the tribe,
develop arguments that support those issue positions, and
choose facts to bolster those arguments.
(For more on this see "It Feels Like We're Thinking" [PDF] by Christopher Achen and Larry Bartels.)
Though party is the most common tribe and the best indicator of issues positions, there are other heuristics at work as well. One crude way to judge a proposal is by how much support it's getting from the "other side." To most voters out in the vast middle, consensus across parties is a very strong indicator of acceptability. Conversely, if there is no support on the other side — if the proposal is controversial — there is something suspect about it.
Notice, however, that heuristic creates a perverse incentive. It's captured perfectly in this post by John Holbo, who asks you to imagine a two-party system wherein one party has poor discipline (members often stray to the other side on individual votes) and the other iron discipline (always voting as a bloc):
Over time, both parties will push positive proposals/legislation. Quite obviously, the Bipartisan Party will be at a tactical disadvantage, due to its lax discipline. Less obviously, it will have an ongoing optics problem. All the proposals of the Partisan Party will be bipartisan. That is, a few members of the other party will, predictably, peel off and cross the aisle to stand with the Partisans. None of the proposals of the Bipartisan Party, on the other hand, will ever be bipartisan. No Partisan will ever support a Bipartisan measure. In fact, all proposals of the Bipartisan party will face bipartisan opposition — as a few Bipartisans trudge across the aisle (there are always a few!) to stand with the Partisans. Result: the Partisan party, thanks to its unremitting opposition to bipartisanship, will be able to present itself as the party of bipartisanship, and be able to critique the Bipartisan Party, with considerable force and conviction, as the hypocritically hyperpartisan party of pure partisanship.
This is, of course, exactly the tenor of the criticism Democrats have gotten from Republicans and political pundits. Because Republicans refuse en masse to support Democratic proposals, those proposals have been characterized as controversial and extreme. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has been uncommonly candid about the strategy:
"It was absolutely critical that everybody be together because if the proponents of the bill were able to say it was bipartisan, it tended to convey to the public that this is O.K., they must have figured it out," Mr. McConnell said about the health legislation in an interview, suggesting that even minimal Republican support could sway the public. "It's either bipartisan or it isn't."
Republicans have quite cannily figured out how to manipulate voters' heuristics. No matter what Democrats do or propose, Republicans meet it with maximal, united opposition, criticizing it as socialism, tyranny, or appeasement. They've accurately realized that all they have to do to render Democratic proposals controversial is refuse to support them.
As a consequence, no matter what Democrats do or propose, they'll have to deal with the optics of their proposals appearing partisan.
We live in post-truth politics: a political culture in which politics (public opinion and media narratives) have become almost entirely disconnected from policy (the substance of legislation). This obviously dims any hope of reasoned legislative compromise. But in another way, it can be seen as liberating. If the political damage of maximal Republican opposition is a fixed quantity — if policy is orthogonal to politics — then there is little point to policy compromises. They do not appreciably change the politics.
For Democrats shaping policy, this suggests a two-fold strategy. First, they should pull attention to issues and proposals where the political ground is already favorable, from broad stuff like financial reform to narrow bills on jobs and energy. Second, on those issues that are inevitably going to be controversial, aim for maximally effective policy and deal with the politics separately. In post-truth politics, attempting to change perceptions by weakening policy is a category mistake. Remember, no matter what shape a Democratic proposal takes — a centrist health-care bill full of ideas Republicans supported just a year ago or a cap-and-trade system like the one first implemented under George H.W. Bush — Republican opposition will be maximal.
So: fight the opposition on political grounds and concurrently craft the best, most effective policy possible. The political controversy around a bill, whether it's over partisanship, back-room deals, or procedural maneuvers, is ephemeral. It will pass quickly. In the end, the policy will be judged by its effects on voters' lives — whether it solved the problem it was designed to solve.
What does all this mean for the climate/energy bill (and Obama's offshore drilling announcement)? More on that soon.

Camron Net Worth 2019, Bio, Wiki, Age, Height
If one is aware of 'Dipset,' the Hip Hop band of East Coast or an inevitable part of Us Now or the UN, then one must be knowing, the rapper Cam'ron. His distinct, challenging patterns in the raps with rhyme influenced by the street dialect had earned the appreciations by all the music lovers. He is also known by his signature color pink. His was hitting the rap world with his distinctive style of singing, but the real breakthrough came with his 'Come Home with Me.' The single of his third album took him to his highest rank on the Billboard chart.
To be more specific the album took him to the second rank on the Billboard 200. As far as the 'Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums,' the album reached the top rank. For the single 'Oh Boy' Cam'ron along with his 'The Diplomats' companion Juelz Santana credited for the nomination of Grammy Award in the category of 'Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.' In all, he has been nominated for the Grammy twice consecutively in 2002 and again in 2003.
Apart from his rapping endeavor he had also appeared in the 'Paid in Full' movie in 2003. His debut film was a production of Damon Dash. After this, his next major success came in with his DVD movie 'Killa Season' in 2006. Cam'ron released one album with the title of the movie. On the chart of the albums, Killa Season went up to the 2nd rank. As far as his personal life is concerned several times Cam'ron has been assaulted, but he came out of these incidents without any major injury. Cam'ron has involved with some feuds with his professional personalities as Jay-Z, 50 Cent and few more. But no one would deny the success of the eminent rapper who can act as well. To sum his success, his singing ability merged with acting had earned him quite handsomely throughout his career. So far Cam'ron had accumulated not less than 9 million dollars as his estimated net worth.
Camron is one of the most wanted rappers whose total sale of all records had gone beyond 5 million. Throughout his career Cam'ron got on with many alliances and feuds. It will not be unreasonable to state that Cam'ron has a clear concept of successful entrepreneurship.
Cam'ron was born as Cameron Ezike Giles on 4th February 1976 at the Harlem in New York City, United States of America. He has been looked after by the single mother, Fredericka Giles. After acquiring the primary education, he got into Manhattan Center to prone up Mathematics and Science. During his schooling days in Manhattan Center, he was acquainted with Jim Jones and Mason "Mase" Betha and a deep friendship developed between the boys.
He was not very attentive in his studies and henceforth did not make any progress in education. All his attention was fixed on the rapping world. He failed to graduate from his school and got into Navarro Junior College which is at Texas but did not feel like continuing with his studies and return to his place Harlem where he started drug peddling.
Realizing soon that this way he cannot achieve anything, he wanted to pursue a career in the rap world. Along with his close companions Mase, Big L, and Bloodshed who was his cousin, Cam'ron formed a band name 'Children Of The Corn.' But a sudden car accident of Bloodshed on 2nd March 1997 scattered all the members of the band. Cam'ron as others started seeking a career of his own. One day Mase introduced him to The Notorious Big who instantly convinced Lance "Un" Rivera, his partner, to sign Cam'ron with the Untertainment label.
After some month his first album with the title 'Confessions of Fire' was released which earned a gold certificate from RIAA. The debut album contained 'Horse and Carriage,' '3-5-7' and some more good singles. The most important part of the release was that the rapper got international attention with its 6th rank on the Billboard 200. More than 500 thousand copies were sold. His musical career got the right momentum for which the rapper waited long.
After the release of his first album Cam'ron got introduced with Tommy Mottola. A contract was signed with the Sony/Epic Record, and the sophomore album with the title 'Sports Drugs & Entertainment of S.D.E. was released in 2000. With the featuring of Juelz Santana, Destiny's Child, Jim Jones, and more personalities the album got a high appreciation in the music world. With some mesmerizing tracks like 'What Means The World To You,' 'Let Me Know' and more, the album reached the second rank in the chart of the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
In 1997 along with Jim Jones he formed a group as 'The Diplomats.' In 2001 his hip-hop band entered into a contract with the Roc-A-Fella Records. He came in contact with the most important person whom the world knows as Jay Z. Next year with some excellent compositions as 'Hey Ma,' "Oh Boy' and some more singles Cam'ron brought out his third album. In 2002 he was cast in a movie 'Paid in full', a Demon Dash production. In 2003 'The Diplomats' released 'Diplomatic Immunity' which was their debut album and is featured by 'Dipset Anthem' and 'I Mean It' sang by Cam'ron. The album was honored by the god certificate. The very next year the band came up with another album as 'Diplomatic Immunity 2'. The album got the gold certification but was considered as an average album. A year after Cam'ron showed his color affinity with his release of 'Purple Haze.'
He was not convinced with the promotional aspect of the Roc-A-Fella Records in releasing his album and therefore withdrawn his name from the label. In 2005 he joined in Warner Music Group. He was assigned with the dual responsibility of bringing out the album 'Killa Season' and side by side took up the production of a movie under the same name which he wrote and directed. Some terrific songs have enriched the album which had been highly acknowledged by the music lovers all over. He also appeared in one important role of the film. The 'Killa Season' was released on 16th May 2006.
After some period from the Asylum/Diplomat records, he released another album 'Crime Pays' in 2009. The album contained the rare songs, past hits, and remixes. But only 150 thousand copies sold the album remained his lowest realizing album. Amazingly in the Billboard 200 reached the third rank but none of the singles met the expectation of any music lover.
During this period he realized that it is not as easy to take hold of the music world alone. The new group is to be formed, and the old feud has to be settled. He created 'Dipset West' in 2009 and along with this with Vado, a rapper; he formed Us Now or U.N. The two personalities joined in to release their duo album. In 2010 the pair released 'Heat in Here Vol. 1' and the following year they brought in another album titled "Gunz n' Butta." He settled the old disagreement with Jim Jones and other members of The Diplomats and planned for the new release which was long due. In 2012 in the album 'ON.I.F.C.' by Wiz Khalifa, he was featured in 'The Bluff.' He also appeared in another album 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded' by Nicki Minaj for the song 'I Am Your Leader.' He collaborated with A-Trak in 2014 to release an EP 'Federal Reserve' which has his single 'Dipshts.'
In 2002 Cam'ron met Julliet C., and after some time the relation was romantically influenced. The carried the relation for quite some time finally it ended in 2017. He has a son named Cameron Ezike Giles Jr. Cam'ron is highly attached to his mother.
He stayed beside his mother while she was paralyzed by severe strokes. He took a complete leave from his professional assignment to cure his mother and rejoined after she recovered. In 2005 October he narrowly escaped a carjacking attempt on him, only got injured with a bullet in his arms.

Q: How to solve an error with curl (security) When using curl for opening a website, everything worked fine.
Until today, when I got this error:
"Security Violation (403)" and "Access denied".
Could you imagine, what the reason for this spontaneous problem could be?
I tried using the "-k" parameter and the "cacert"-parameter, but both options just won't work.
Kind regards,

you can access this address in a browser and copy as curl in the developer tools (F12 or ⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift + C), network tab, and try to do the request again. If it pass, you can use now this new command with all attributes (headers and cookies) from current request.

Don Kenyon
Donald Kenyon (15 May 1924 – 12 November 1996) was an English first-class cricketer , who played in eight Tests for England from 1951 to 1955. He captained Worcestershire between 1959 and 1967.
Cricket writer, Colin Bateman, noted, "A polished batsman who relished taking on fast bowlers, he became the heaviest scorer in Worcestershire's history with more than 37,000 first-class runs to his credit".
Kenyon was born in Wordsley, Staffordshire and lived most of his adult life in nearby Wollaston, West Midlands. He played all his county cricket for Worcestershire, but when international opportunities came along, Kenyon was unable to produce his run-making abilities on the highest stage. He fell in single figures in eleven of his fifteen England innings, although his Test career was rather sporadic in nature. Kenyon played three Tests on the 1951/52 tour to India, two more in 1953, with three more appearances in 1955, but life in the fast lane did not seem to suit his temperament.
He was a popular and successful captain of his county, and went on in his later life to become an England Test selector, and president of his beloved county side.
Kenyon died in November 1996, in Worcester, at the age of 72.

Garda Commissioner says 10,000 images examined but no formal complaints of image-based abuse made
Drew Harris said there were no images of child abuse found among the pictures.

GARDAÍ HAVE FOUND no images of child abuse after examining more than 10,000 images uploaded to a number of online forums.
It was reported last week that gardaí were investigating the alleged uploading of images and videos of Irish women and girls without their consent.
Speaking at an online meeting with the Policing Authority earlier today, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris said there have been no formal complaints made of image-based sexual abuse in relation to these images.
"We have examined those and, first of all, there are no images of child abuse within them" Harris said.
"The images run to over 10,000, and all of them have been examined and as yet, we've had no actual complaint of image-based sexual abuse."
He added there have been no complaints of coercion or harassment either.
Many of the images had been shared in forums on Discord, an online messaging platform.
A spokesperson for Discord told TheJournal.ie that as soon as the website "became aware of this server, we permanently deleted it" and "identified and banned the approximately 500 users involved".
Harris said gardaí have reached out to the relevant law enforcement agency which has assisted gardaí in enquiries.
He added that gardaí have also reached out to other law enforcement agencies with specialism in identifying images of child abuse, with no images found in this search.
Harris said there are no crimes under investigation as a result of the initial probe.
It is not currently a crime in Ireland to share intimate or explicit images on a non-consensual basis.
The alleged incident last week sparked huge public concern. Justice Minister Helen McEntee said she hopes related legislation, which has been working its way through the Oireachtas since 2017, will be passed by the end of the year.
Harris said today: "There's actually no crimes under investigation in this jurisdiction at this moment in time, but at the same time as an organisation, we're very aware of coercive control, the harassment of individuals, the problem of images being used to intimidate people, blackmail people as a form of, as it's known, image-based sexual abuse."
The Garda Commissioner encouraged people who are facing this to come forward and report it to gardaí.
"We do have specialist teams to investigate this, and we can draw on our own investigative expertise, but also the investigative expertise of other law enforcement agencies, and we'd be anxious to receive any complaints that people might have."
The sharing of intimate or explicit images of a person without their consent is typically referred to as 'revenge porn', or image-based sexual abuse.
Yesterday, Cabinet approved a proposal to put a maximum penalty of an unlimited fine and/or seven years imprisonment for the distribution or publication of intimate images without consent and with intent to cause harm.
The taking, distribution or publication of intimate images without consent, and without a requirement that the person intended to cause harm to the victim, will carry a maximum penalty of a €5,000 fine and/or a 12 month jail sentence.

Why the government should shut down
By David Callaway
Published: Apr 7, 2011 9:32 a.m. ET
Commentary: A national civics lesson is long overdue
DavidCallaway
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — A government shutdown would lead to homeless wandering the streets, a national unemployment problem, a vicious power grab by Wall Street's elite, and a rush by Americans to hoard precious assets such as gold and silver.
So what else is new? By those measures, the government's been closed for months.
The gridlock in Washington is manifesting itself in the worst way possible this week, with both sides dug in and President Obama warning of dire consequences if the government grinds to a halt this weekend — from the furloughs of 800,000 federal employees to the freezing of paychecks issued to military personnel.
And while few people will mind seeing the IRS shuttered the week before taxes are due, the threat to close the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington is just dirty politics.
None of this will be taken seriously by the American public, however, until the government actually does shut down. Posturing, threats and finger pointing have become the norm not only in Washington in the Obama era, but in the national debate as well. The seething anger underlying both party platforms these days is unhealthy to the republic.
A civics lesson is in order.
Americans need to see first hand what small government really is. To have their parks closed and their work permits halted and their government subsidies and environmental projects frozen. The truth is, we rely on the government for a lot more then we think, and we can't just kill the programs that don't affect us.
The truth is, we rely on the government for a lot more then we think, and we can't just kill the programs that don't affect us.
A little demonstration of what it's like to live without order is in order. It's happened before — twice, in fact. The stock market actually rose when the government shut down in 1995 and again in 1996, though those were only brief shutdowns. If we decide to prolong it, I'm sure Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan Chase would be happy to step in and take control of the Treasury for the time being while the politicians roll in the mud. I'm sure our allies would barely notice if we replaced the bald eagle with the vampire squid.
We rail against Wall Street and its banks, with their obscene profits and, um, balanced budgets, but we then expect that they will take direction or have financial reform shoved down their throats by a government that can't even remotely keep its house in order.
TRADING STRATEGIES: MARCH
Trouble ahead?
Japan's crisis, turmoil in Europe and unrest in the Middle East have investors worried that we'll all be thrown back into the throes of global recession.
• Hulbert: Seasonal trading patterns battle
• Willard: Long apps, short the Fed
• Kahn: Dollar remains crippled
• Helfert: Expect the unexpected
• Morales/Kacher: Buy silver to hedge
• Kee: Sell anything vulnerable to a downturn
• Sizemore: Three low-risk ETFs for spring
• Hulbert: In search of higher yields
• McMillan: New volatility product hedges
• Global turmoil calls for hedging with oil
• Fitz-Gerald: Three stocks to buy, no matter what
• Lowell: Safer havens amid global calamity
No wonder the big guns in the banking industry, led by the suddenly laissez-faire Alan Greenspan, have set their sights on the Dodd-Frank reform bill. Like aggressive dogs, they smell fear. It has no chance, despite its positive aspects.
We are embarrassing ourselves globally with this type of infighting among our elected officials, and only an actual shutdown will be enough to jolt them out of the dramatic thrill of their petty feuds on Capitol Hill and in the White House and into the reality of what their duties to the country really are.
By some measures, this is just an annual flare-up in the Capitol that this year has gone a little too far because of the makeup of Congress after last November's elections. Some agreement will likely be reached, if not by Friday's deadline then sometime over the weekend before the full scale of the shutdown could be felt Monday.
Even if a shutdown did go beyond the weekend, the government has pledged to continue what it considers essential services, such as managing the armed forces, paying out Social Security and collecting taxes (at least electronically). So the shutdown would be more of a bluff than an actual, chaos-inducing, riot-inspiring lockout.
Still, it would allow America to look at its government, if only fleetingly, for what it does and stands for in this country, rather than just as the late-night talk-show joke it has become. I, for one, would be happy to hold back my federal tax payment next week for that privilege.

Robert Hayman's Quodlibets (1628), written while he was governor of the English colony at Bristol's Hope, Newfoundland is often claimed as the first book of English poetry written in what is now Canada. Despite that fact, however, an imaginative, written literature which could be considered indigenous did not develop in Newfoundland until well into the present century.
Quodlibets
Newfoundland's first book of English poetry, by Robert Hayman. Originally published in London by Elizabeth Allde in 1628.

Folk Literature
In the intervening years a rich folk literature—a traditional literature dependant on the spoken rather than the written word and circulated by word of mouth and customary practice—developed and flourished alongside the more familiar forms of written expression. Among the genres of oral literature to be found in the Newfoundland context are folksongs and ballads, folk drama, proverbs, rhymes, riddles, jokes, recitations and monologues, local legends, personal experience narratives, and folktales. Some of these forms of folk literature, which sustained the aesthetic needs and provided an outlet for the creative energies of a large percentage of Newfoundlanders for four centuries, have been extensively collected and studied in recent times, and there has also been a revival of interest in the performance of others. All of them have had a remarkable impact on contemporary written literature in Newfoundland.

An indigenous written literature did not develop in Newfoundland until this century, but the period between 1628 and 1923—the year E. J. Pratt published his Newfoundland Verse and a convenient if arbitrary date to select as a starting point for a discussion of the emergence of an indigenous literature—saw the publication of a considerable amount and variety of popular and scholarly writing dealing with life in the province written by non-native missionaries, colonial officials, historians, sportsmen, adventurers, travellers, and others.
E. J. Pratt, ca. 1930
Edwin John Pratt (1882-1964) was born in Western Bay, Conception Bay. After leaving the province in 1907 to attend the University of Toronto, he published his first volume of poetry, Newfoundland Verse, in 1923.
From David G. Pitt, E. J. Pratt: The Master Years 1927-1964, vol. 2 (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, ©1987). Courtesy of the M. Claire Pratt Estate.
A large number of journalists wrote for an equally large number of newspapers, magazines, and periodicals during the 19th century, and around the turn of the present century, local propagandists and promoters produced a great deal of writing which depicted Newfoundland as a haven for tourists, health-seekers and sportsmen.
Growth in Literature
The literature which began to emerge during the second quarter of this century was markedly responsive and particularly reactive to the radical social, cultural, and political changes which marked the period. The local authors who produced this literature either drew heavily, both for form and content, on the oral culture, or attempted to ignore that in favour of emulating more cosmopolitan trends and themes. Most of the writers, however, shared a notable tendency to examine the nature of life in Newfoundland and to articulate what are deemed to be its essential qualities. This, in turn, gave rise to a protracted debate in the literature over the relative merits of what was perceived to be the traditional culture and its role in the life of the province generally. Even those writers who were the most self-consciously cosmopolitan in outlook and literary taste, and who had little or no first hand experience of the traditional culture seemed unable to avoid dealing with it, usually in negative terms. On the other hand, agroup of less self-consciously literary, practically-minded writers tended toward an idealization and romanticization of the traditional culture in their writings. These opposing trends tended to abate somewhat after the 1970s, but even today Newfoundland literature draws heavily on the particulars and peculiarities of Newfoundland history and society.

In a recent survey, 60 per cent of 18 to 24 year olds said they knew nothing at all about the Magna Carta. Even Prime Minister David Cameron stumbled when he was asked about it by David Letterman on The Late Show back in 2012. This year marks the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta, but how well can most lawyers explain its meaning and importance? Does it matter if most don't see it as relevant or meaningful to their professional life?
The Magna Carta remains fundamental to our culture, our laws and our individual rights. While it may have been written to resolve disputes between a medieval king and his barons, it represents a bedrock of Britishness, a foundation of all that's good about making laws. It places the law above government and it established in a written contractual form a council that eventually became our representative parliament.

Haxby Road school now the best it has ever been
ebor-webadmin
Ebor in the news
The benefits of becoming an academy have been highlighted by school inspectors who have awarded a "Good" rating to Haxby Road Primary Academy
When it was Haxby Road Primary School, it was never rated as highly in its 113-year history and for the last decade had suffered a string of poor inspection reports. Today, a relentless drive to improve outcomes for pupils has been praised by Ofsted for the "exciting learning" taking place.
Haxby Road was the first school to join Ebor Academy Trust in February 2014 and this is the first inspection since Ebor stepped in to help.
"This is excellent news for all concerned," said Ebor's chief executive Richard Ludlow. "All children deserve to attend a Good school. Success comes from collaboration, relentless positivity and a relentless belief that all those in the school can succeed."
Headteacher Zoe Lightfoot said: "The staff, governors, parents and children are all delighted with our inspection outcome. It is great to see that Ofsted have acknowledged the drive and dedication within our Haxby Road family, to raise standards and aspirations for our children. We are very pleased that our school community has been officially recognised as being as great as we know it is and I feel very proud to lead such a focused and passionate team."
Inspectors said the shared vision of all leaders and their effective communication with the whole school community has been fundamental in steering improvements in outcomes for pupils: "There is a very strong partnership between the school and the academy trust; everyone speaks confidently about the gains this partnership has brought, particularly in terms of developing a culture of purpose and improvement."
The work to improve partnerships with parents has also been highly effective, says the report. The determination to make sure that parents feel welcome and part of their child's learning is paying off. Parents speak warmly about their involvement in the school and how the school supports them and their child. For example, one parent said: "Staff are always there if you need some help – for children and for parents". The family café gives parents the opportunity to meet other parents, particularly when they are new to the school. The improved opportunities for staff and parents to work together are having a positive impact on the progress pupils are making.
Special educational needs at the school was also applauded, with effective systems in place for checking pupils' progress. Resources, activities and the environment are supporting pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities in making at least expected progress. Home-school links are strong and celebrations in learning are shared and parents are supported in how to help their child at home, enabling pupils to make better progress.
Mr Ludlow added: "At a time when nationally the attainment gap between disadvantaged children and their peers is widening, Haxby Road is a shining beacon of hope showing the way that gap can be diminished, so that all children achieve" he said.
School inspectors reported that: "Disadvantaged pupils make good progress throughout their time in school. A large amount of work goes into supporting the families of these pupils, such as those where there are young carers, or those facing challenging circumstances. These pupils receive additional support in lessons where needed, as well as pastoral support, access to the breakfast club and work with specific mentors."
Haxby Road governors are passionate about their role in school improvement and have an excellent knowledge of the school's strengths and weaknesses, says the report. They are not afraid to challenge leaders for further information they need to ensure that pupils are making the best progress they can, while acknowledging the good progress already made.
In terms of the quality of teaching, learning and assessment, Ofsted says a "wealth of new strategies to improve reading and to foster a love of books has already had a positive impact on pupils' progress. Staff surround pupils with a vocabulary-rich environment. New books and reading materials, along with enticing activities and celebrations are helping pupils to read fluently and with understanding."
Before Ebor became involved with the 220-pupil school, it had suffered a series of poor inspection reports dating back well over ten years. Today Haxby Road is a "Good" school with a Tiny Steps provision for two-year-olds, as well as a nursery for three- and four-year-olds.

Stephen Hatch-Barnwell's (1909-1989) Tour of Duty as ICS (Indian Civil Service) in Bengal (1933-1947) as CSP (Civil Service of Pakistan) in East Pakistan (1949-1966) is not just another British officer's "notes to successors" for those of us who care to read such memoirs. The author makes it a point to inform the readers that his main purpose was to show what life was for a young ICS officer in the very last days of the British Raj and not to give a personal life history to the readers. He witnessed the collapse of the steel frame, as the nationalist movement gathered momentum. He was trained to perform not only the traditional magisterial and revenue functions, but was also required to cope with the Second World War and the tragedy of 1943 famine.He is credited with the establishment and pioneering development of the food procurement and distribution system. As chairman of the newly created East Pakistan Agricultural Development Corporation (EPADC), he promoted new technologies for transformation of traditional agricultural production system. As senior member of the Board of Revenue, he was given a special assignment to draw up plans for resettlement of the indigenous population so cruelly displaced by the construction of the Kaptai dam.

The Pixar Theory of Labor
by The Awl July 15, 2015
by James Douglas
A lot of Pixar films come packaged with a quasi-humanist narrative hook that enables the public digestion of their work. Viewers nodded thoughtfully over WALL-E's depiction of a future earth choked by the refuse of big-box retail, and of a human race infantilized and rendered obese by mindless consumption, while Brave was the first Pixar film to feature a female protagonist — a simple gesture, the long-overdueness of which did not do very much to diminish murmurs of appreciation. Pixar's latest film and fifteenth feature, Inside Out, arrives with at least three female-coded lead roles, and an apparently sincere desire to render with sensitivity the interior life of a young girl.
That interior life is realized as a theme park-esque inner world, surrounding a gleaming control room ("Headquarters") in which five personified emotions — Joy, the gung-ho leader; Anger; Fear; Disgust; and the little-liked Sadness — each play a role in governing the personality of a human girl, Riley, who is undergoing a traumatic move to San Francisco, where her dad seems to be establishing some sort of tech start-up. When Joy and Sadness are accidentally lost in the outskirts of Riley's mind, they have to find their way back to Headquarters before her emotional sensibility is destabilized for good.
A lot of narrative business hinges on Joy learning to accept Sadness's place within the ecosystem of Riley's mind. Sadness — frumpy, dissolute, low-energy — is a bit of a drag. Her very existence seems contrary to Joy's key project, which is to ensure Riley is happy all the time; Sadness can't seem to help turning even Riley's happy golden memories a glum shade of blue. As per the logic of any buddy comedy, the two eventually learn to get along, and Sadness eventually proves her worth by helping to restore Riley's emotional equilibrium.
This is another matter of some regard in the public response to Inside Out. With the figure of Sadness, the film appears to permit the existence of negative emotions within a broader portrait of mental health, even to the point of validating depressive feelings. Corporate entertainment — the thinking seems to go — seeks to ensure that its audience is kept mindlessly, vapidly content — but here is an exception, from the House of Mouse, no less. This evidence of humane, even progressive, thinking on the part of its writers and directors helps to contribute to the public perception of Pixar as an enlightened production house — still part of corporate Disney, for sure, but somehow authentic in spite of it. New York Times critic A. O. Scott even compared WALL-E's vision of a ruined earth to Werner Herzog at his most pessimistic.
It is in the nature of modern capitalism that corporations, especially ones of a certain size and influence, glaze a veneer of enlightenment over a brutal, instrumental value system. This is why Facebook and Google go on worldwide fishing expeditions for new users, but frame it publicly as bringing the internet and opportunity to the developing world; it's why Whole Foods tells its customers they're helping to save the planet by buying organically farmed produce, but often neglects to specify how far that produce has been shipped. Pixar has created a stable of films for children that is founded on narratives of self-actualization — of characters branching out, embracing freedom, hitting personal goals, and living their best lives. But this self-actualization is almost exclusively expressed in terms of labor, resulting in a filmography that consistently conflates individual flourishing with the embrace of unremitting work.
Is there any other production house operating today that is more obsessed with narratives of the workplace and employment? The basic Pixar story is that of an individual seeking to establish, refine, or preserve their function as an instrument within a system of labor. The only way Pixar is able to conceptualize a protagonist is to assign them a job (or a conspicuous lack of one) and arrange the mechanisms of plot to ensure that they fulfill that job. This is why Joy can only accept Sadness once she comes to understand what it is she does.
Pixar's debut film organized a scenario involving sentient toys as a narrative about two men fighting for the same job. In not one but two sequels, it revisited those same characters in a narrative about how bad retirement is, and how awful it is to be made redundant. In Monsters, Inc., it developed a parallel universe populated by monsters and powered by childrens' screams to tell a story about a workplace duo striving to be the most efficient employees. Up is ultimately a film about how unthinkable it is to retire; even elderly widowers must find a new vocation. In film after film, Pixar presents narratives chiefly concerned with characters trying to be the best at what they do, or otherwise prove their usefulness.
In Finding Nemo and Brave, Pixar even managed to render family dysfunction as something more like a Human Resources issue. Both films represent an emotional crisis between parent and child as a managerial problem: Wayward child Nemo wants to venture out into the Great Barrier Reef, but anxious father Marlin wants to keep him at home; wayward teen Merida want to venture out into the moors of Scotland, but strict mother Elinor wants to keep her in the castle. Each conflict is resolved when the parent witnesses their child's independent capabilities outside of the domestic sphere. Is there anything about these stories that couldn't have been short cut by handing both parents this Business Insider article on the "8 Habits of Highly Effective Google Managers"? ("Empower your team and don't micromanage.")
It's possible that Pixar's obsessiveness about work and employment has somehow been effaced in the public eye by the imaginative diversity of their films' settings: ant colonies, space, the ocean, a bizarre alternate-world inhabited by sentient vehicles, and so on. But in Inside Out, for the first time, the ground beneath Pixar's ideological feet comes into view, and it's the Bay Area, California.
Pixar has been a part of Californian tech culture since 1979, when a group of computer graphics researchers at the New York Institute of Technology — including Edwin Catmull, current president of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios — were poached over to the West Coast by George Lucas. In San Rafael (in the North Bay Region), Catmull headed up Lucasfilm's Computer Division, which developed hardware and software used to render 3D graphics. Early, proto-Pixar short films — including John Lasseter's Luxo Jr., the desk lamp protagonist of which became Pixar's mascot — were made in part to show off the Computer Division's technology, some of which was marketed to scientific visualization industries, in medicine and geophysics. In 1986, Steve Jobs bought Catmull's team from Lucas, and it became the independent Pixar Corporation. In the early aughts, having moved from San Rafael to Richmond (in the Eastern Bay region), the company moved again, to new headquarters in Emeryville, Alameda County, on the Bay between Berkeley and Oakland.
As do other tech giants (and the less so), Pixar positions working at the company as something more like a lifestyle choice than mere employment, with a corporate environment that houses a constellation of "perks" geared to ensure maximum employee satisfaction. On a visit to the Emeryville campus for a company profile for the New Yorker, Anthony Lane describes a weights room, cardio room, massage room, breathing room, free cereal bar, and two secret cubby holes, Lucky 7 and the Love Lounge, which are accessible through a passage concealed by a bookcase and a mini door that visitors must crawl through, respectively. Headquarters also house Pixar University, where employees can take courses in filmmaking and other skills. "Why are we teaching filmmaking to accountants?" is the rhetorical question former Pixar University head Randy Nelson poses to Lane. "[I]f you treat accountants like accountants, they're going to act like accountants." Accountants must not act like accountants; Pixar expects its employees to not merely deliver on the jobs they have been contracted for, but also to provide something more.
This excess, epitomized as the complete entanglement of an individual's private life with their employment, is at the core of Pixar's conceptualization of what it is to be a person: In every Pixar film, the protagonist's arc is oriented toward the ultimate goal of being an efficient, productive worker — whether employment has been thematized as being a father, princess, robot janitor, toy, ant colonist, harvester of screams, adventurer in South America, or otherwise. For Pixar, to live is to work. Cars is a film about an ambitious racecar who is forced to chill out and not be so competitive, except he really just learns that chilling out and not being so competitive is the key to being an even better competitor. This is coming from a workplace culture that, under the guise of compassion, has erased the distinction between free time and labor time, and expects their employees not to notice that they working that much harder. After all, free cereal! That means you can start work early enough for breakfast. In his New Yorker piece, Lane talks with voice actor John Ratzenberger, who remarks on the company's "get up and go to work" ethos. "They really should be running Western civilization," Ratzenberger says, a sentiment that scans as amusing at first and then sort of sinister.
One highly touted aspect of Pixar's production process is the role of the "braintrust" in workshopping the development of their films. This method (described by Catmull here) has its origins in the making of their first feature Toy Story, where director John Lasseter enjoyed a close creative collaboration with later Pixar directors Andrew Stanton, Lee Unkrich, Pete Docter, and Joe Ranft. The idea is that the key creative personnel on any given project must periodically submit to a group critique that unpacks and examines elements of the story under construction. This process is said to ensure the quality of Pixar's films, but it also has resulted in a series of films that each toe the party line, values-wise. The pressures of this narrative-by-committee process probably account for why so many Pixar stories wind up in the same place: a garbage heap.
In WALL-E, the close of the second acts finds the film's robotic protagonist tossed down into a garbage disposal vault in the bowels of the spaceship Axiom, where larger-model robots collect the waste to be released into space. Toy Story 3 reaches an emotional peak at a suburban landfill, where Woody, Buzz and their fellows toys face down a violent death by incinerator. In Inside Out, right on cue at the close of act two, Joy is temporarily stuck in a Memory Dump — a pit of discarded memories, jettisoned as Riley grew up. Pixar conceptualizes death not as the end of existence per se, but as the state of becoming waste. Waste does not work. Waste does not have a function. Waste is obsolete. Waste is undifferentiated. For Pixar, the model individual represents usefulness in their own unique way. A virtuous accountant can't just be like all the other accountants — they have to be their own special kind, they have to be the lead in their own story.
At its bottom, this is the logic of pure capitalism. In an economy structured around limitless growth, dynamism must become the natural state of things. Idle capital is unproductive capital and an unproductive worker is a waste of resources. The virtuous citizen cannot only consume but must produce, an imperative that finds its current (and particularly American) incarnation in the entrepreneur, the boot-strapper, the rags-to-riches hero, who is too busy pulling themselves up by their laces to notice that there's no top to reach. The natural and profitable ideological by-product of this fixation is an abhorrence of collectivism — and therefore organized labor. To be collective, to be one among many, is to no longer be a special individual producer, which is its own kind of death. This is why Toy Story 2 abhors the idea of Woody becoming part of a box set.
With Inside Out, Pixar offers audiences the closest thing yet to a real world version of the stresses that accompany their protagonists' fixation on work. Riley's dad uproots his family from a comfortable middle-class existence in Minnesota and moves them to San Francisco for his startup, because that's where the industry is. While there, he spends little time with his family, but is constantly running business on his phone, or heading off on errands. Riley is isolated from her friends, and has difficulty pursuing her normal physical activities. Meanwhile, the family's possessions have been delayed by a wayward moving company. Although he causes all this, and at no small cost to his daughter's mental health, Riley's dad is not depicted as a villain. He loves his family, they love him, and together they work through the deprivations caused by the move. The narrative does nothing to condemn this state of affairs; indeed, it is Riley's burden to accept them. Inside Out suggests that accommodating the pressures of capitalism is simply part of growing up.
Growing up is exactly what Pixar's audience is doing. The generation of tech developers that came up idolizing Steve Jobs probably didn't notice that when their parents tucked them into their Buzz and Woody sheet-set at night that they were sleeping in Jobs' by-product. Pretty soon, that generation's children will be ready to throw away their Lightning McQueen pajamas and get their own seed funding.
Giph by House of Limitlessly
inside-inside-out


Former prima ballerina turned house renovator, CeCe Newman, is in for a surprise as a contestant on Design Beautiful. She's charged with turning a monstrosity of a house into a well-designed, beautiful spa. A win on Design Beautiful, plus the coveted cash prize, means more than just bragging rights for CeCe. The win means she'll be able to help her sister, Lily, get the medical procedure she so desperately needs to possibly save her life. There's one other not-so-small thing that no one told her: the property is owned by Brock Thorn, her ex-fiancé.
Brock, a former NFL star turned successful businessman and father to CeCe's adorable daughter, Phoebe, shows up unannounced. He's there to help care for Phoebe since CeCe is busy with the show. They have been on non-speaking terms for a while, (CeCe's choice, not Brock's), but Brock still feels that CeCe is the only one for him. If he can only get CeCe to see what he already knows is the truth: they should be together.
Everything that can go wrong for CeCe does go wrong. The house that can't get any worse does, and it seems like someone has predetermined that CeCe will lose the show. But what's not lost for CeCe is the heat between her and Brock. However, forces unseen are stacked against Brock and CeCe to make sure they don't end up together.
As a faithful HGTV viewer, I loved CeCe and Brock's story set against the backdrop of a home design contestant show. The love scenes are beyond hot and definitely keep you turning the pages and rooting for Brock and CeCe to reunite as a couple. There are a few missteps in the book though: a misspelled name here, a wrong name used there, some confusing passages, but even with all of those things I still remained glued to the pages because I desperately had to know how the story ended. With another round of solid editing, this book is a surefire winner that will keep you on your toes and wrapped up in CeCe and Brock's story.
You were given a review copy. Sorry for any confusion and thanks for the review!

Salmonella Cause of Most Foodborne-Illness Outbreaks: CDC
By HealthCast on January 24, 2013
THURSDAY, Jan. 24Food poisoning sickens millions of Americans each year, and most outbreaks are caused by salmonella-tainted foods or norovirus, federal health officials report.
Salmonella-contaminated eggs alone accounted for 2,231 illnesses in 2009-2010, according to researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who set out to identify the specific pathogens responsible for widespread foodborne illnesses.
"CDC estimates that one in six Americans get sick from a foodborne illness each year," said lead author L. Hannah Gould, a senior epidemiologist at CDC's National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases.
More than 1,500 foodborne-disease outbreaks were reported in 2009-2010, involving nearly 29,500 illnesses, 1,200 hospitalizations and 23 deaths, according to the CDC.
Besides salmonella in eggs, common causes of outbreaks included E. coli O157 in beef and Campylobacter in unpasteurized dairy products. Besides salmonella-contaminated eggs, outbreaks were also traced to salmonella in sprouts and vegetables, such as tomatoes and peppers, the agency said.
More than 40 outbreaks resulted in product recalls, according to the Jan. 25 issue of the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
However, outbreaks account for only 5 percent to 10 percent of foodborne illnesses, Gould said. And not all outbreaks get reported, she noted.
Both salmonella and norovirus, also called cruise-ship flu, cause serious gastrointestinal problems.
Dr. Marc Siegel, an associate professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, said foodborne illness is "epidemic" in the United States. "There is a lack of scrutiny of food products," he said.
Contamination can occur at any step along the food chain, from farm to fork, Gould said.
"Everyone has a role in preventing foodborne illness, starting at the farm to processing to restaurants and at the home," Gould said.
"Most foodborne illness is preventable if people follow the right steps," she added. The keys to prevention include hand washing, proper storage and preparation. Clean foods, keep meat and produce separate and cook foods thoroughly, Gould said. Also, keep produce, meats, and eggs refrigerated.
Of more than 700 outbreaks attributed to a single source, 48 percent were traced to food eaten in a restaurant or deli, and 21 percent were caused by food eaten at home.
If you're eating out, Gould suggests checking the restaurant's health inspection score. "Don't eat there if the score is low," she said.
Siegel said much of the contamination occurs at the farm and in processing. Farming practices are to blame in many cases, he said.
Chickens are raised in their own feces, which is the source for most Salmonella, and cattle are fed grain, which makes their stomachs a breeding ground for E. coli, he said.
"If we improve the conditions chickens are raised in, and if we start feeding cows grass instead of grain, much of the initial contamination could be stopped," Siegel said.

Nissan made a Bluebird electric restomod with a Nissan Leaf powertrain
Zac Palmer
See Full Image Gallery >>
If you're a fan of classic electric car conversions, you're going to want to see this electric Nissan Bluebird, or as Nissan calls it, the "Newbird." Nissan just revealed the EV in conjunction with the 35th anniversary of production at the Sunderland, UK, plant. Back in 1986, the Nissan Bluebird was the first car off the line at this plant.
Today, this Bluebird has new life breathed into it thanks to the powertrain out of a Nissan Leaf and a snazzy new paint job. The original engine and transmission were removed and replaced with a Leaf's motor, inverter and 40 kWh battery pack. The pack itself was split into two parts to make it fit. Half the battery modules are under the hood, and the other half are in the trunk. Nissan says this arrangement gives the "Newbird" a properly even weight distribution.
Nissan also devised a custom suspension setup that could handle the added weight of all the electric powertrain equipment — that sounds like something that any would-be electric restomod project needs to take into consideration. Beyond the suspension, Nissan updates all the vital systems, adding power steering, electric braking and a modern heating system.
Nissan Newbird
A number of thoughtful touches throughout the car make us smile. For example, the hood badge gets an LED backlight as a small hint of its electric power hidden under the skin. Recharging is done through the car's original fuel flap. Pop it open, and you reveal the charging port. Even the original fuel gauge works, as it's wired up to correspond to the car's remaining charge.
When you do plug in, Nissan says the maximum charging speed is 6.6 kW. Range on a full battery is 130 miles, and the 0-62 mph time is a super-slow 15 seconds. That said, being fast isn't the point of a car like this.

Chinadaily Forum › BBS › Life in China › Q&A › Teaching English in China: Are you qualified?
Two Chinese employees at an English teaching school in Beijing were given suspended sentences after fabricating diplomas for foreign teachers, prompting widespread suspicions over foreign English teachers' qualifications.
The People's Court in Beijing's Tongzhou sentenced the two people, surnamed Xia and Wang, after they were convicted of fabricating foreigners' diplomas so that they could teach at their institutions, China National Radio reported on Tuesday.
The verdict said that Xia asked Wang to fabricate certificates for the two foreigners last year.
Wang and Xia were sentenced to eight months and one year on probation respectively, and were fined 10,000 yuan ($1,590). The report did not mention what punishment the foreigners received.
The incident has ignited society's worries over foreign English teachers' certificates.
According to the State Administration of Foreign Expert Affairs (SAFEA), foreign teachers who work for private learning institutions must have work permit.
Major cities such as Beijing require foreigners to have bachelor degrees or above and a minimum of two years' work experience to obtain work permits, the Beijing government said in 2014.
The People's Digest reported in 2014 that only 500 out of 7,000 institutions are qualified to hire foreign teachers. Zhang, from Firstleap, an English learning institution, told the Beijing News that at least half of foreign English teachers teach at illegal schools.
Not only are these schools illegal, some foreign teachers are also not qualified. Wang Yushi, an official from SAFEA, told media that there were 400,000 foreigners working in China's education industry in 2017, but only one third of them are qualified.
Some do not possess diplomas, while others are not even native English speakers, Cassey Chen, an employee in charge of recruiting foreign employees at a Beijing English teaching center, told the Global Times.
"The fact is, the more Caucasian you look, the higher salary you will get because most parents prefer Caucasians over other races," she added.
Chen said that the government has been tightening its regulation of foreign teachers in recent years. "Sometimes they do surprise inspections, and the institution will be fined at least 10,000 yuan if there are any illegalities," she added.
In 2015, all the foreign teachers at a Hangzhou branch of Disney English, a Disney subsidiary that teaches English, disappeared overnight after a police raid, local newspaper Metropolitan Express reported. It said that the reason for their disappearance was that none of them were qualified.
"Most English teaching institutes lack qualified foreign teachers," said Chen.
Before he left for China on Monday to attend the 2018 Boao Forum for Asia, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said that he would try to send 100,000 Filipino English teachers to teach in China, Xinhua News Agency reported on Thursday.
However, despite concerns over their qualifications, foreign teachers are popular not only among Chinese English teaching institutions, but also with Chinese parents.
Six parents contacted by the Global Times said they prefer their kids to learn English from foreigners than from Chinese. "They (children) can learn authentic English from these foreigners," said a Beijing mother surnamed Wang.
Statistics show that Chinese children are learning English at younger ages than before. Nearly 70 percent of the 2,003 respondents reported that their own children or children they know started learning English before the age of 5, mainly due to Chinese parents' fixation on giving children an early advantage, the Xinhua News Agency reported in 2016.
It said that many parents send their kids to early childhood English-language learning institutions, even though they can be expensive. Some 39 percent of respondents said parents pay between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan annually to such institutions.
"The myth about foreign teachers reflects some parents' superficial understanding about English learning. These who haven't received proper training can only provide simple conversation skills, not systematic language education," Xiong Binqi, vice president of 21st Century Education Research Institute told the Global Times.
There are several problems with Caucasian English teachers.
Hardly any of them speak or understand Chinese, they require more pay to do the same job, and many of them have ulterior motives such as spreading western propaganda and religions.
To have an advantage in the global workforce all you really need is conversational English.
Diagramming sentences and having a big vocabulary are not necessary.
That's no justification for questioning their qualifications; besides, such foreign teachers teaching English in China beat the pants off Chinese English teacher when it comes to English writing skills. In effect, most Chinese English teachers don't even have the ability to writing something clearly in English just like you, who sets stores by Chinese-styled rote learning.
You don't even deserve to ream such foreign teachers out since you don't understand Chinese as well.
It could be argued that China doesn't need Filipino English teachers since Chinese students have already found the most talented English teacher one could find in China, drum roll please, robert.
China could use his expertise and tape into his hitherto unheard-off talents, such as cuddling up to Kim and Putin and telling us that if he had been born in Russia, his life would have been different. Or If he had had a chance, he would have married Sarah Huckabee Sanders or Sarah Palin.
Your conversational English is meh; no one wants to write like a chav like you in China. Just ask Chinese students which foreign publication they deem the best one.

You'd never know it by meeting me in person at one of the Qgirls parties, but I struggle with quite a bit of social anxiety at large gatherings.
I guess I'd be considered a typical introvert. I like people, but in small, measured doses. I have a handful of close friends – more than a handful and I'd get overwhelmed. I am outgoing, pretty intelligent and can hold down a conversation. I've even been told I can talk to anyone. But the minute I contemplate heading to a large gathering of women – I freeze.
I've always dreaded bars and typical lesbian tea dances because I never seem to know where to go or who to talk to. I force myself because I know it's important to maintain a social support network. Once you hit your forties it's not like college anymore. A lot of friends are married and partnered, and spending too much time with couples can get, well, depressing. Let's face it, lives and careers and hobbies…life just gets busy.
I had met a couple of the organizers of Qgirls a while back. They kept encouraging me to attend an event, and like the typical introvert, I smiled and tuned them out.
I don't know what possessed me, but I finally decided to take the plunge and go to one of their events a few months ago. I was pleasantly surprised.
The Elmo's lounge is a relatively small space, but roomy enough for a full bar, an excellent DJ-and comfy couches to sit on when my bad knee acted up. The music is for everyone's taste. The DJ effortlessly mixed hits from the 80's and 90's with hits from the 21st century. Something for everyone. I couldn't help but dance a little, the mix of music was that good.
And the best part? Everyone was friendly. I'm sorry to say that is not always the case at women's events that cater to lesbian and bi women. They can sometimes be cliquey, or women trying to be New York City chic just have an attitude.
At Qgirls events the attitudes, if there are any, get left at the door. It really is a fun, friendly atmosphere. The women are open and fun to talk to. Everyone is friendly. So even an introvert like me was able to mix and mingle for the first time in a long time.
I'm going tonight, maybe I'll meet some fellow introverts. Or maybe I'll meet my next best friend or love of my life. Even if I don't meet anyone who will change my life. I know I'll have a great time.
nice article, keep on writing..


No matter what the scenario, Jesus wins. Sin? He conquers it. Death? He defeats it. Enemies? They stand no chance against the risen Son of God. He wins – period.
The victory of Christ translates into our own lives, though we don't always realize it and put it into practice. The enemies that we face, the trials, the temptations, the suffering – His victory bought ours. We are more than conquerers in Christ Jesus. His victory is our victory.
We can't achieve any of these victories on our own. WIthout the power of Christ we're utterly incapable and we'll never win over anything. But in Him we can't lose. If our goals are His goals and our desires are His desires, we're assured of victory.
Jesus not only wins in the end, He's already won. He's already triumphed over sin and death, already crushed the enemy in defeat. Because He won, we can win. Because of His victory, we get a prize.
