Jail To Jobs boosts young offenders and their communities
The Municipal Posted on September 29, 2020 by Andrew Mentock September 29, 2020

An early prison sentence can often become the first step to a lifetime of trips in and out of the United States justice system. In fact, most people convicted of a crime will become a repeat offender, creating a vicious cycle where 2.3 million people were incarcerated in 2016, according to PrisonPolicy.org.
This amounts to more than 20% of all prisoners in the world, yet the U.S. only contains about 4% of the world's population.
This is a systematic problem that those who run Jail To Jobs, a nonprofit organization based in Cedar Park, Texas — about 25 miles north of Austin — are working to eradicate in their own communities.
In addition to seeing hundreds of kids each year fall into this cycle, most of the people who work there have also experienced this disruptive lifestyle first hand.
"As an organization, we love to hire formerly incarcerated staff members," said Eddie Franz, the Jail To Jobs Williamson County director. "I think every one of our supervisors, every one of our coordinators and every one of our directors has been to prison. Our founder, Chris Haskins, has a felony on his record, right.
"We kind of understand that society looks at people without experiences and says, 'You're no good because you made a mistake.' Instead, we look at that as 'I made a mistake, but I didn't let that stop me. Here's how I became successful.'"
Of those employed by Jail To Jobs, the recidivism rate is less than 20%. The national recidivism rate is 75%. (Photo provided)
Jail To Jobs has existed in one form or another for nearly a decade. At first, it was an in-person prison mentorship program, working with kids in the system but over time, those heading the nonprofit realized that no matter how much someone wants to return to become a "productive member of society," it's rarely that easy.
Once someone goes to jail, especially if this results in a felony conviction, those individuals will be fighting an uphill battle for a long, long time — maybe the rest of their lives. To put it simply, a felony makes it nearly impossible to find a job, plus most of the kids Jail To Jobs works with do not have the support system required to keep them off the streets or that comes with the transportation needed to get to work, even if they're able to find employment.
Three years ago, Jail To Jobs decided to employ people themselves by offering a service to anyone between the ages of 14 and 24 who have been to jail. Once employed, those young men and women will receive hands-on training and supervision in a variety of fields, including construction, landscaping and culinary arts — all while earning a wage above what's minimally required.
Jail To Jobs partners with local businesses that are willing to support the mission and provide the at-risk youth with a job. But instead of employing them directly, the business owner subcontracts the workers through Jail To Jobs, which does not take a cut of the wage, but instead assumes the risk of employment and provides additional benefits such as health insurance.
This way, if someone struggles to show up to work on time at first or doesn't work out at a particular job site, Jail To Jobs doesn't have to fire them. They can simply move them to a different job site as they adjust to becoming a productive member of society.
Thus far, Jail To Jobs has proven to be rather successful in breaking the cycle.
"Out of the 448 that we employed, the recidivism rate on those young men and women is less than 20%," Franz said. "Anywhere from 18 to 20, depending on the year. The national recidivism rate is 75%. Employing these kids … and then helping them get a full-time job, once they complete the program, cuts the recidivism rate by 66%."
But the program is much more than that. It has also supplied more than 60,000 meals to at-risk youth and given them more than 8,000 rides to and from work, which has allowed it to serve more than 14,000 kids in its communities in addition to the ones it employs.
Jail To Jobs also provides a service to the rest of the communities it serves. It costs anywhere from $31,000 to $60,000 per person each year to keep someone incarcerated, according to the Vera Institute of Justice. That's why if the cycle is broken early, it benefits everyone. Both the youth and taxpayers.
This was what inspired the city of Round Rock, Texas, to partner with Jail To Jobs. The mayor saw that, over time, paying youth workers is cheaper to his community. Now Round Rock employs a number of Jail To Job workers, who help set up and breakdown equipment for events, work at the city's recycling center and more.
Because Jail To Jobs also offers optional spiritual services and guidance, it does not receive federal or state funding and thus relies on donations for much of its funding. But those who work at Jail To Jobs realized a long time ago that the key to this mission was actually paying the youth to develop their necessary skills and to work. Thus far, that's made all the difference.

"There are so many programs out there that come alongside these youth and help them, and they're great, but they don't really answer specific immediate needs," said Saulo Cooper, the chef and chaplain at Jail To Jobs. "A lot of the kids we deal with here are impoverished beyond what you would think. Money changes their situation. It gives them hope."

Every American deserves access to quality, affordable health care. From cancer screenings like mammograms and colonoscopies to the latest breakthroughs in treatment, everyone should have access to the care that could prevent cancer and save their life. In addition, ensuring that low-income working families have access to affordable health insurance is proven to reduce overall health care costs.
We are working in every state and in Congress to expand health care options and protect existing laws that help patients get true access to the care they need.
People without health insurance are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer at a late stage, when the disease is harder to treat, more costly and more difficult to survive.
The American Cancer Society operates a call center available to all cancer patients and their families, that includes resources and specialists who can help patients with questions about health insurance, enrolling in a plan, and issues accessing care.

This paper revisits 'exogenous productivity of judges' hypothesis, laid down in numerous Law & Economics studies based on 'production function' approach. It states that judges confronted with growing caseload pressure, adjust their productivity thereby increasing number of resolved cases. We attribute such results to assumptions regarding the shape of court's 'production function', and present alternative – hockey-stick 'production function' model, explicitly taking into account the time constraint faced by judges. Hence, we offer an attempt to reconcile 'production function' with more traditional approaches to the court performance – such as weighted caseload methods. We argue that such empirical strategy is particularly valuable in case of continental legal systems – characterized by higher procedural formalism. We also propose extended methodology of model evaluation, taking into account their ability to reproduce empirical regularities observed in 'real world' court systems.

Our guest, Rhonda Macken, tells her remarkable story—a testament to the power of human creativity and resilience in the face of unimaginable childhood trauma. Rhonda created a complex jigsaw of multiple personalities as protection against her harsh reality. Now in her 70s, and after years of intense psychotherapy, she's fully integrated and enjoying the love of her family.
Duration: 29min 8sec
Broadcast: Sun 27 Oct 2019, 12:30pm
Music heard in the program is from the CD Flight, by Rhonda Macken
Rhonda Macken
Author, composer and musician
Lynne Malcolm: Hello, it's All in the Mind on RN, I'm Lynne Malcolm. Today, the inspiring story of how one woman who, in order to survive an extremely traumatic early life, created multiple versions of herself.
Rhonda Macken: Well, we got to about 200 and I stopped counting then. There were fantasy parents that I created instead of my parents, there were children, there were teenagers, and there were other strange imaginative people, like Wicked Witch and Persephone and Mephistopheles, and all kinds of people.
Lynne Malcolm: Rhonda Macken, describing some of the personalities which formed a complex mechanism to protect her from the pain she endured through her childhood. Rhonda is now in her early seventies and has just published a memoir about her experience with a condition called Dissociative Identity Disorder, once known as multiple personality disorder.
And just a warning that you may find some of what you hear in my conversation with her today upsetting because it contains references to violence and abuse. But the amazing thing about Rhonda's story is that she has emerged through years of therapy and personal insight, and now lives a well-adjusted life, surrounded by her loving husband Bruce, and their children and grandchildren.
By the way, the music you're hearing is composed by Rhonda. It's from her recent CD, called Flight.
Rhonda Macken's memoir is called Hope Street, which is the name of the street she grew up in, in Sydney. She begins by explaining to me why she decided to write it.
Rhonda Macken: I've been doing therapy for about 28 years, since memories started to come up, and I've been writing ever since. The writing has been a big part of my therapy, it has helped enormously in many ways, for me to know exactly what's going on in my subconscious, and also to help me record things because with DID you forget or sometimes you don't know. And I needed to put it all together, the same as I needed to put myself together.
Lynne Malcolm: So you developed multiple personalities as a way of protecting yourself and coping with a great deal of trauma in your childhood. Just tell me a little bit about your early life, what happened?
Rhonda Macken: My father returned from the Second World War completely crazy really. He had PTSD, but more than that he had many psychotic episodes when he would actually disappear behind his eyes, he just wasn't there. I've spoken with other people who have had a parent who had the same thing, so that validated that for me too. He just wasn't there, there was no conscience. So he was very violent. My life was threatened often in many ways, a lot with weaponry because he was in New Guinea, with Japanese weaponry, so there were axes and cleavers and even knives. He also raped me from the time I was about two. But he was also really the only parent that I could connect to, so that made it difficult.
Lynne Malcolm: So you could connect to him better than you could connect to your mother?
Rhonda Macken: Yes, my mother was…she had the best of intentions but she was very cold and she was really just protecting herself.
Lynne Malcolm: What are your first memories or awareness of when personalities began to appear in the dissociation?
Rhonda Macken: I think it was fairly early in therapy, but that wasn't really recognised by the first therapist that I was with, and I was virtually told to not talk about that. And then with the next therapist it started to come up with me having no control over it, this other person or other people would come to a therapy session because they needed to tell their story.
Lynne Malcolm: So you had no awareness of these separate personalities through your life, from the time, say, you were two, the personalities just appeared for you to protect you. Can you give me some idea of the types of personalities that came forward and their role in your life?
Rhonda Macken: Yes. See, the whole aim of the creation of other parts is so that I don't know anything about it. So I don't have the memories, I don't really experience the feelings. The person who was born really doesn't experience anything. So these memories are actually kept contained, like a sealed unit within each part of me.
Lynne Malcolm: You dissociated into many different personalities, as you found out later in your life. How many?
Rhonda Macken: Well, we got to about 200 and I stopped counting then, I thought there's no point, I'll just find out who they are as they come along. In my book I've only put the prominent personalities, otherwise it's too confusing. There were fantasy parents that I created instead of my parents, there were children, there were young children, there were teenagers, and there were other strange imaginative people, like Wicked Witch and Persephone and Mephistopheles, and all kinds of people.
Lynne Malcolm: There was also the Master Planner, and his right-hand man was the Jostler. Just tell me a little bit about those two.
Rhonda Macken: Master Planner is amazing, I have a great deal of respect and love for this part of me because he created the plan, he set out to create a huge jigsaw that we would perhaps discover one day, if it was time and safe to come back, and it was very, very intricate. But if these parts of the jigsaw were put in when it wasn't appropriate or whatever, then the Jostler's job was immediately, even in a miniscule second, to take away that part and hide it again because the whole idea is never to be put together because the whole idea is to remain silent and almost non-existent.
Lynne Malcolm: So this jigsaw was the jigsaw of personalities that rallied around to protect you in really dire circumstances.
Rhonda Macken: Yes, absolutely.
Lynne Malcolm: So give me a little bit more of an example perhaps of a couple of different personalities and under what circumstances they came in and what their purpose was.
Rhonda Macken: Okay. One I particularly love is Stones. Stones was created so that she was on the outside. She had no connection to the dysfunction, no connection to the mother, the father, to anybody really. She walked along the outside. She saw what was happening but she was never allowed to intervene. She loved the earth, she loved nature. And I'm not religious but she saw the God in the earth, saw the God in everything, the goodness. So that's Stones.
Lynne Malcolm: And there was Lucy, and she was there as a key to the real world. Tell me a circumstance where she stepped in.
Rhonda Macken: Lucy was probably about the only one who was many ages. She grew as Rhonda grew. She went to ballet lessons, she went to school, she watched everybody in the outside world, which we called the circle reality, and she watched their behaviour and she copied so that she would fit in and wouldn't stand out. You were never allowed to stand out because somebody might notice you and therefore ask you questions and somebody might find out about what was happening at home. But she was quite amazing, but she knew nothing about what was happening at home, which we called the square reality.
Lynne Malcolm: The square reality was the home, what was really happening?
Rhonda Macken: Yes, yes.
Lynne Malcolm: You've written that by the time you were 15 you were regularly raped by your father, and it was life-threatening. And I think you became pregnant to your father, not just once.
Rhonda Macken: Yes, I did, yes. It's a bit hard to talk about but it was very real, it was very real.
Lynne Malcolm: The children didn't survive.
Rhonda Macken: No, he was very violent and he virtually kicked me until I had a miscarriage. And the second time was even worse.
Lynne Malcolm: And at this stage the personality Mary emerged.
Rhonda Macken: She is wonderful, she is just wonderful.
Lynne Malcolm: What did she do in this circumstance?
Rhonda Macken: She came out when there was another part of me called Ruth who was on the edge of madness. And, believe me, looking back on my story, I do understand that madness would have been an alternative, not a very acceptable one but would have been an alternative. And so Mary stepped in and she was created. She was just very strong and she actually had about six different parts to her. But we created a shape called the diamond. So we had to exist in the world of the father in order to survive. You had to know that you had to be completely silent, and to also try and understand the mind of the father, to pre-empt what was going to happen, not that you could but as a child I thought I could. And so I created the diamond where Mary would go to one point of the diamond and become Mary squared, and then she would become with the father in the father's mind, in her mind, and she would just become Mary, and then on the way back she would become the square root of Mary. So the madness was increased and then decreased until she became normal again.
Lynne Malcolm: An incredibly complex structure that you've created in your mind.
Rhonda Macken: It's amazing, there is this whole world. I love it.
Lynne Malcolm: Did you have any trouble remembering that in writing the book, remembering the complex structure that you created?
Rhonda Macken: No, because I'd been writing since the therapy started and I also recorded all the therapy sessions with the second therapist for 18 years, which was great because sometimes if you go along to a therapy session, someone else emerges and I had no recollection of what was done.
Lynne Malcolm: So you have a brother ten years older and a sister six years older. What was their experience in this family?
Rhonda Macken: My sister doesn't talk about it. They've both validated it completely. My brother tried to help me, but my father was a very strong man, he was tall and he was very strong, and so he would knock my brother around and my brother would then retreat to his room. He had a key to his room, he could lock himself in. I couldn't, I was never given a key. Later in my life I've talked to him about that and he has shed tears, saying, 'I didn't have the courage and I let you down.' I said, 'No you didn't, you just tried to survive in your own way.'
Lynne Malcolm: You write that one of the reasons your system of multiple personalities was developed to maintain the mandatory code of silence that your mother placed around all of you.
Rhonda Macken: Silence was paramount. My mother cared enormously about what the world thought. She was like a 'would be if she could be', but she wasn't. I think she had her own problems from her own childhood. But nobody was to ever find out anything, never. And she would tell people that I was a highly-strung, sensitive person, virtually trying to tell people that I made up stories, if I ever did say anything. But there was just this code of silence. All three of us adhered to that.
Lynne Malcolm: And did anyone outside the family ever notice, for example, your multiple personalities or notice that things weren't right at home?
Rhonda Macken: I think there were two people who did notice, that was my first piano teacher who I loved dearly, Mrs Ziegler. She never said anything but she spent time beyond what she needed to with my sister and myself at our piano lessons and she taught me to absolutely love music.
Then there was another person when I lost my dog who was the paramount person in my life, my dog, and without him I would not have made it through. And Prince went missing one time, and finally I found that he was with her. And he was gone for quite a few days, and I looked after him immaculately, but he was all ruffled around and he was…anyway, he wasn't in a good condition. She said you can't take him home until you've proven that you can look after him. She realised he was my dog because we greeted each other with absolute love. And so I went up and talked with her just about every afternoon with Prince, and I started to tell her a little bit about it, but you could never tell anybody anything about what was happening, no.
Lynne Malcolm: I'm speaking with Rhonda Macken, author of Hope Street: A Memoir of Multiple Personalities; creating selves to survive.
You're with All in the Mind on RN, I'm Lynne Malcolm.
As a result of extreme abuse at the hands of her father through her childhood and adolescence, Rhonda developed Dissociative Identity Disorder or DID. Rhonda's multiple personalities formed an extremely effective protective mechanism against the cruel reality she was living. In fact, it was so effective that she was unaware of what was happening to her. But in her early adulthood she realised something was wrong, and she needed help.
Rhonda Macken: After my daughter was born, my first child was born, and apparently that often happens, that your childhood memories start to come up after your children are born. And I started to become very, very anxious and very depressed, and I was sent along for some help to a psychiatrist. He was very, very good. He saved me from doing away with myself several times. So that's when it all started and I got some help, and I am so grateful. Anyone out there who needs help, please ask for it.
Lynne Malcolm: So you met your husband Bruce, who came along with you today, and you got married, you had two children, you've now got grandchildren, but they didn't know any of this, or you didn't even realise any of this when you first met him and got married, did you.
Rhonda Macken: No, I knew nothing. I thought I had a happy childhood. But he has been amazing, absolutely amazing.
Lynne Malcolm: It is quite amazing that you have been through such terrible abuse but you have been able to develop really good, close, loving relationships.
Rhonda Macken: Yes, I think that's due to my dog. It might sound strange but he gave me so much love, unconditional love.
Lynne Malcolm: Eventually you found a therapist, Libby, who was really your saviour. Can you describe the therapeutic process that she took you through?
Rhonda Macken: She was an absolute gem. She was a very, very mentally healthy person herself. Not once did she intrude, put herself in my therapy. She always said that, 'This is for you, you know what you need, I will be led by you, I am not here to interfere.' So she never made suggestions about what I was thinking, what I was feeling, never.
She knew about multiplicity, she was really ahead of her time, she fully believed in it. And a lot of people didn't. And whenever another alter arrived at therapy or came to meet her, whatever, she knew about their body movements, their voices, the way they talked, what they would say, and she would just say, 'Hello Wicked Witch, you're here again,' et cetera, which was a wonderful validation.
Lynne Malcolm: So she engaged with the personalities as they needed to be engaged.
Rhonda Macken: Absolutely, because they are people. It sounds strange but they are people. I'm integrated now but they were people.
Lynne Malcolm: So what were the key realisations or breakthroughs you experienced as part of that therapeutic process that led you to eventual recovery?
Rhonda Macken: I think most of it was the fact that Libby allowed each part of me to tell their story, his or her story, from their own point of view in their own words, and this is really, really important. For example, I have a part called the Magnitude who I just adore, an amazing, amazing person, I find it hard to believe that he is part of me. He is wise, he speaks in a language that sometimes once I'd written it down I didn't understand what it was talking about, but she accepted that, always accepted it. And later on, one month, maybe two months, sometimes six months later I would completely understand what Magnitude had said. So that was a revelation.
Lynne Malcolm: And how did you get to the point where you started to realise that the characters and personalities were connected and part of one mind, Rhonda's mind?
Rhonda Macken: That took a long time because the whole of the division of self is also so that that self can never be put together because I, Rhonda, was to never know about anything or experience anything. They always separated the left and the right brain so that that could never be put together. There was threat of decapitation at one stage. So we had to work out a way for the mind or the head to know that the body was still alive and vice versa, so that there was never to be put together. Whenever there was an indication that it might happen, that was terrifying. But gradually, with Libby's help, it just became a normal thing. And Libby would make light of it sometimes and she'd say; you mean that's part of you, maybe?
Lynne Malcolm: So it was quite a traumatic process as well, the therapeutic process was traumatic.
Rhonda Macken: Very, the abreactions, which are the re-living of events. Often before a therapy session I wouldn't know what was going on, and the level of anxiety would be intense, debilitatingly intense. I refused to take any medication during my 28 years and I'm really glad I did because that just covers it up, for me anyway. So before a therapy session in desperation I would write something. I'd say I've got five minutes before I go, I'm going to sit down at the computer, not thinking, just write. Sometimes I would draw. And by the time I got to the therapy session I would know exactly what the whole thing was about and then we would deal with it.
Lynne Malcolm: So once you realised that you were fully integrated, you were one person, you were Rhonda, how did that feel having to let go of the other personalities? Was there any grief associated with letting go?
Rhonda Macken: Yes, there is, and I haven't fully let go of everybody. I believe that in this real world I am just Rhonda, but all of those other aspects of me still exist because my music is important and my writing is important, I don't know, my love of nature is important, like with Stones. And so I just acknowledge those parts of me. And every so often I will say, 'Thanks Stones, thanks Rebecca,' because they are still around.
Lynne Malcolm: And they're still helpful.
Rhonda Macken: They're still helpful, they are just not dysfunctional.
Lynne Malcolm: So your father died when you were 27. How did that feel?
Rhonda Macken: It was terrible, it was terrible because…sorry…
Lynne Malcolm: Obviously very painful.
Rhonda Macken: My father was the human soul on this earth that I connected with because in his sane, rational times he loved animals and he also was a gardener and I loved the garden, and also I was connected to him to such an extent, I think it's called Stockholm syndrome, where he became almost part of my skin, and to separate from that was a huge process. And when he died of course I didn't know anything about anything, so the funeral was just unbearable. And then later and on Libby and I…or I decided that I wanted to scatter his ashes because I wanted to make him free and I wanted to free myself. And Mary, when we went down to the beach, Mary tried to swim out after the ashes…
Lynne Malcolm: This was one of your personalities.
Rhonda Macken: …with Libby running after. Mary, yes, trying to chase him. But I now have separated from him, I am a completely separate person.
Lynne Malcolm: Because in the book you say 'thank you for the journey Dad'.
Rhonda Macken: Yes, I thank my mother and my father. I know I said I'm not religious but I have spiritual beliefs and I personally do very strongly believe that I'm a soul on a journey and I was given this opportunity to learn, and I think I have. I believe that my parents chose to come down to give me those lessons. And what an incredible thing to have to do, to come down and do those things to your child. So I'm actually grateful.
Lynne Malcolm: I must say I did find a lot of your book really difficult to read, it's very, very confronting, the extent of the abuse is unbelievable. How does that feel for you, looking back, and also revealing it to the world?
Rhonda Macken: I didn't want to put all of those things in the book. Libby kept saying…she's the person who pushed for the book to be written and finished. She kept saying, 'Unless you have instances and describe instances and make them real of trauma that actually happened, then it's very hard for anybody to understand why DID is created.' I mean, DID is created because of the severity and the continuation, and unless a reader has an understanding, a sense of that trauma, they are not going to understand why the imagination needs to create a different world.
Lynne Malcolm: You talked about still having some personalities there for you, but you have become one. Have you been left with mental health challenges though?
Rhonda Macken: Not really, no. There are times when I do have some anxiety if there's something triggered, but I know how to deal with that now. I hug a tree, or taking the smile from a tree, or I sit on a rock or go for a walk or sit by a river.
Lynne Malcolm: It really is quite amazing.
Rhonda Macken: Is it? Thank you, thank you.
Lynne Malcolm: And at the end of the book you laid out a table of strategies that worked for you in a therapy situation. Why did you do that?
Rhonda Macken: Because I don't think there are that many therapists who know a great deal about DID, and all of those strategies of course are not going to work for everybody, but they did work for me. And I also say some the things not to do that didn't work for me, and I just thought that just might be helpful for other people. One of the reasons for putting myself out there…sorry, this is very close to me…is that it's a very long and a very difficult journey, but it's worth it, and there is light at the end of the tunnel and everybody contains their own shining and that shining needs to shine, and it can with help and with love, and that's one reason that I've written the book.
Lynne Malcolm: Throughout her life Rhonda Macken has been passionate about music. She's a musical educator in schools, she writes music and lyrics, and for 21 years she coordinated the ABC SING book for schools. You're listening to the track 'You Have to be Loved to Be Real' from Rhonda Macken's CD Flight: A Musical Mosaic.
Lynne Malcolm: So what about your children and also your grandchildren? How do they react to what they now know about you and your former life?
Rhonda Macken: My daughter knew a lot as we went along because she is three years older than my son. There were periods when I was unbelievably depressed and also traumatised. And being a female, she had the empathy to help me with that. My son was three years younger. He of course modelled himself more on his dad, so he's a bit more even. I'm very, very grateful that I was given the opportunity to know about love and unconditional love, and I'm very grateful that they are not damaged. They are functioning human beings, they are loving and they have a lot of empathy, they're very creative, and they are wonderful parents. And I'd also like to say thank you to my husband who I love dearly.

Quinland and her fellow Girl Scouts had decided to spend their cookie earnings on a trip to Tree to Tree Aerial Adventure Park, and the long-awaited trip finally took place last weekend. I went along. Dang, it was cool.
The trees have platforms built around them at various levels. They have different "elements" that you walk across to get from tree to tree, all of which are crazy obstacle course-style things – tightropes, stilts, seesaws, stepping stones – way up in the air. They have six different courses of varying heights and difficulties, all of which have at least one zipline.
These are the lower three courses; the others are higher and scarier. In fact, we didn't see the Black Diamond course until we were in the parking lot, leaving, because you have to get to it by way of another high course we didn't do.
There was some doubt as to whether I would actually go up in the trees or just watch from the ground. I knew that if I felt well, I could totally do it; I'm not afraid of heights, and you don't need to be afraid safety-wise, because you are always clipped to a line that will keep you from falling.
Q is quite afraid of heights, so the whole idea was pretty tough for her, but she was amazingly brave and made it through course after course for three hours.
Oh, yeah, baby. I absolutely did it. I stayed on the two lower courses with Quinland, but I cruised on through and ziplined like a pro. Okay, not exactly like a pro. My shirt rode up and my gut hung out and I spun around in a very unsuitable way… but I did it.
I was proud. Though I admit to a little of my structural integrity phobia seeping through my courage when people on the courses above us (literally above!) would come zipping in on a zipline and slam feetfirst into the platform. Yikes!
Day 38 – D and Q see Munich!
cleaning crew to the rescue!
June 26, 2013 April 13, 2015 by LoriLeave a Comment on cleaning crew to the rescue!
Yep, I did it. For the second time since we have been home from Europe, I had cleaners come in to clean my home.
David and I had a not-quite-complete communication about an end-of-the-year party for his whole staff at our home. I thought it sounded like a great idea, but I neglected to find out exactly when it might be happening. David logically thought that "end-of-the-year" meant just what it said: the last day of school. Which would have been fine… had I figured this out more than two days beforehand, and had the party day not also been my drug day.
Now, call me crazy, but my very favorite part of the cleaning experience was that they cleaned my laundry room. You know how a laundry room can slowly get a lovely patina of dryer lint on everything, and you might not even notice it? That wasn't the case here. It was impossible not to notice it – linty, linty, linty. I don't remember my old dryer blowing lint around like Greg's does; I even checked the vent connections to be sure they were all tight.
While we are at it, I'd like to show you my two favorite things about my laundry room. First, I have a fantastic clothes-drying setup above my washer and dryer. I bought this hanging rack right after we moved in, because hanging clothes is a necessity when dealing with tall people. You definitely never want to put anything in the dryer, because inevitably it shrinks in length, never in width. Hanging stuff is also good for delicates, of course, and for band t-shirts that you want to preserve for as many decades as humanly possible.
My other favorite thing is my IKEA Grundtal wall shelf. It holds my laundry products neatly, and also serves as a great rack for hangers.
Yes, I have a million hangers, and yes, I have them hanging in color order. Why? So that when I hang up Quinland's clothes, I can match the color of the shirt to the right colored hanger. I know, I know… Don't judge me. It is my little OCD corner of the world. Speaking of OCD, I am irked that my non-staged photo shows all those microfiber dust cloths that someone dumped in a dishpan all cattywampus. They were all in one of those yellow boxes you see above, nice and neat. Hmph. The thing in the sink, on the other hand, is just homeless. I believe it goes in Greg's dryer to dry a sweater on, all nice and flat. As far as I know, it's never been used.
I could get sooooo addicted to having cleaning people. It is an amazing feeling to be in a home that is all nice and clean and to know that you didn't have to do it. What a treat!
I may have mentioned before that David and I have struggled for all time with preparing and serving regular meals. I never developed any skill in cooking, and I know that my fear of failure in the kitchen – failure that, I might add, is a frequent occurrence – has definitely hampered my ability to buckle down to regular cooking. Add in some family dynamics about whose responsibility for shopping, cooking and cleaning is whose, and dinner time often leads to an every-man-for-himself "grazing" extravaganza.
This has bummed me out over the years. I know, without a doubt, that all three of us would be healthier if we ate better.
Kids are more likely to stay away from cigarettes.
These effects, I surmise, come from the positive, one-on-one interaction that occurs around the dinner table, from open communication between parents and their children. I'm happy to say that – regardless of our haphazard eating habits – we have plenty of that quality time with Quinland, and I believe we have reaped all those benefits. She is an awesome, awesome, awesome kid… she has amazing, supportive, friends who are all awesome kids… and they all get good grades (and stay away from substance abuse!).
Whew! I'm not a bad mom, after all – just a bad cook… and I am getting better every day.

OISE Funding Programs
OISE doctoral student awarded Massey College Junior Fellowship
By Lisa Smith
(photo by Lisa Smith)
Hiro Hiratsuka, a PhD candidate in the Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education, has been awarded a Massey College Junior Fellowship for 2019-20. This September, he will join a prestigious community comprised of fellow graduate students, distinguished academics and professionals.
Massey Junior Fellows are selected based academic merit as well as their personal and professional experiences. Upon joining the College, fellows take part in a variety of activities, including fundraisers, conferences, movie nights, lecture series, book clubs, and social gatherings.
"It is an honour to be chosen and I'm very much looking forward to participating in and contributing to the dynamic community at Massey," said Hiratsuka.
Hiratsuka's doctoral research focuses on what students learn from intercultural experiences in study abroad programs, a topic that is close to his heart. He previously developed curricula for a study abroad program for Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo, where he served as Assistant Professor.
He currently holds an MA in International Education from the SIT Graduate Institute in Vermont and an MA in Peace Studies from the International Christian University in Tokyo. Given his background in Peace Studies and his work experience, Hiro is especially interested in getting involved in Massey's Scholar at Risk and Visiting Scholars programs.
Hiratsuka has enriched the OISE community in many ways. He is supporting the Office of the Associate Dean, Research, International and Innovation in a project on conceptualizing the social impact of OISE research. He has also served on the Research Standing Committee of OISE Council as well as a committee advising the Dean on strategic international initiatives and priorities.
We are delighted that Hiro will bring his skills and expertise to Massey College this fall.


I have a different opinion than you. That does not make me a crusader. If it would, then I would have equal rights to call you are on a crusade trying to spread the belief that complaint X "must" be caused by mercury.
Similarly, your call for me to get educated is a call to only look at a scarist's viewpoint. I refuse that. I do look at the scarist's viewpoint, but I also look at the scientific knowledge. I invite you to do the same and to get educated.
On a side note, you've only gone on a detour. You have not addressed anything of what I wrote. That's another difference between you and me: I have addressed everything you wrote. I invite you to show the same politeness.

Scheer hired Nicholson impersonator to serve as groomsman at wedding
The Piranha 3-D star, who wed actress June Diane Raphael last October (10), commissioned a professional to take on the lead groomsman role and even penned the faux-Nicholson's speech so he'd amuse guests.
Scheer explains, "I couldn't figure out who to be my best man (sic)… You don't want to offend one of my friends and I don't have a brother, so, I was like, 'Who could it be?' And I was like, 'I should get a Jack Nicholson impersonator to be my best man.'
"He was amazing. And I wrote him this whole speech so he could come out and be like, 'Paul and June are As Good As It Gets. Being at this wedding, I can cross it off my Bucket List.'"
But Scheer admits, the plan ultimately backfired.
He added, "He couldn't remember any of the stuff. He'd be like, 'Can you put it on a teleprompter for me?' And I was like, 'I can't put it on a teleprompter, it's a wedding.' And he was like, 'Alright I'll try.'
"I think he had a couple beers because he started forgetting his Jack Nicholson lines, and he just started saying things like, 'Yummy, yummy'… But then he goes, 'Well guess what, I'll just stand over here and give everybody hugs.'"

The minimal architecture is characterized by the presence of perpendicular planes that construct a three dimensional space, from a configuration volume of purified forms, considerably simpler and refined.
Halffloors® was built on a central city terrain with 80 square meters, were was built a house with useful 277 square meters, an architectural achievement using half-floors! The house has three bedrooms, one dining room, one living room, one office, three exterior accessfull areas (one a complement to a bedroom, other on the dinning/kitchen level and which is made of glass and other is the rooftop where exists a swimming pool) and a two car garage with car lift.
The house is simple… it is organized in a vertical and hierarchical way. The social areas are on the inferior floors and the private areas on the superior levels. To achieve great visual amplitudes and dynamic interconnections between spaces, the interior was structured in half-floors. The width of the plot decided the stair. In fact, it became the heart of the house.
Positioned adjacent to those spaces is a courtyard that together with the half-floor structure induces a vertical continuity, create a gentle horizontal connection. The courtyard affords a sense of depth and expansion to the spaces, allowing for all the floors from the basement to the first to be experienced as one space connected vertically and horizontally.
It's a minimalist house with a unique design! All interior decoration was specifically designed, from the wardrobes, dressers, kitchen (Warendorf kitchen|miele appliances), bedrooms, bathrooms (Cabinets, wash basins, shower trays and bathtub made in Corian®) and office furniture. The predominant colors in the house are white and black creating these a unity between the spaces making it very lightweight and "clean", with the exception of the couch, specifically designed for this house.
Planned and designed taking into account environmental concerns, Halffloors®is a unfamiliar house with Class A + energy certification.
It was our objective to create a house as a unique object, so in order to do so exterior windows and doors had to align with the exterior house walls! Our idea was, "if in any way I could pass a hand over the front and back facade it should be only and element, without any recesses". For that, we have to use a Structural Façade. With this façade the glass is glued to an aluminium frame using structural silicone. Also the entry door as the door garage had to be aligned with the exterior house walls. For that we have decided to pull back both doors and cover them with ALUCOBOND®.
In the exterior it was decided to do a sidewalk on cobblestone. A cultural heritage, are used irregularly shaped stones, usually limestone and basalt. Traditional colors are black and white, enjoying the contrast of colors, shapes or decorative patterns with pictures, drawings or geometric patterns.

Ever had that moment when a film pops up that you've never heard of and yet a bit of subsequent research reveals that the film certainly hasn't been a secret and in fact, there's already been one trailer up for months. Yep, well that just happened to us here at the ReelGood office. At least it was only a Michael Bay film.
These are the second lot of trailers for the succinctly titled 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi and it all looks very…Bay-ish? Is that an official word nowadays? If you don't understand words, by "Bay-ish" we mean sickly colours, lots of explosions, talking about family and actors trying and failing to look earnest. Anyway, it's coming out so we're probably going to have to sit through it.
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi stars James Badge Dale, John Krasinski, Max Martini, Toby Stephens and Pablo Schreiber and is set for release in the United States and Australia in January, 2016.


Bodybuilding basics - what does bodybuilding mean?
Bodybuilding doesn't just mean increasing your muscle size and definition - it's about body fitness, healthy eating and getting stronger too.
Whether your goal is to compete on the bodybuilding stage or just get your body in shape getting the right advice from a qualified bodybuilding personal trainer is key when it comes to training right, training without injury and reaching all of your bodybuilding goals.
As a personal trainer in Dubai who can provide bodybuilding training how would you sum up what bodybuilding is?
For me bodybuilding is creating a better body for yourself by lifting weights and eating healthy. This doesn't mean you need to stand on stage and compete, it's more about getting stronger, building muscle, burning fat, feeling better or looking better.
For someone new to bodybuilding or someone who wants to start are there any restrictions relating to age or gender?
No! I have trained many different people in bodybuilding young and old, male and female all with different goals. The main thing when starting in a gym or starting a bodybuilding program is to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly.
Does a bodybuilding workout regime include other elements of fitness or is it just for increasing muscle mass and definition?
It depends on what you want from the workout. For me I like to make the workouts a little more intense to help build fitness as well as building muscle.
Good nutrition is a key element to feeling and looking good and also plays a major part in a personal training program. How does a 'bodybuilding' diet differ from a general 'good eating' diet?
Again this depends on what my Dubai personal training client is looking for. I love to work with macronutrients no matter what the client's goals are. We work out the clients calories for each day and split them into carbs, fats and protein. This has worked beast for me in my time personal training and for my own training.
Do you think there should be a lower age limit for those interested in bodybuilding? For example younger teens who are still growing.
I don't think so, the gym has so many benefits for young people as long as they are doing the right thing with proper technique and making sure they are warming up/cooling down. I would say for any youngster in the UAE who would like to get into bodybuilding to consult a professional before doing so because this is the best way to ensure they are training correctly which reduces the risk of injury.
What are your 5 top tips for anyone who wants to start training as a bodybuilder in Dubai.
Whatever your personal or group fitness goal in Dubai – UAE Nick has the knowledge and experience to provide you with a first class personal training service.
