Title: Predictors of competitive employment among consumers with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders.
Authors: Biegel, D.E., Stevenson, L.D., Beimers, D., Ronis, R.J., & Boyle, P.
Background: Research shows that co-occurring mental and substance use disorders can act as barriers to employment due to factors such as associated stigma, and lack of or little work history. Because of this, individuals commonly experience higher rates of unemployment.
Purpose: First, this study explores existing literature on barriers and facilitators to competitive employment in order to better understand what kind of support these individuals require in their pursuit of obtaining and maintaining employment. It also uses a longitudinal approach, following consumers over a 12-month period. Using baseline demographic data as well as consumers' commonly identified barriers to employment, this study seeks to predict employment entry by a 6 month check in.
Study sample: 191 consumers were included in this analysis. Ages ranged 18 to 68, with mean age of 40 years old. Within this population, 60% were White, 35.6% African American, and 4.7% other origin. The sample was 61.8% male. Additionally, 60.7% of participants were beneficiaries of some form of entitlement.
Findings: Individuals with more severe symptoms were less likely to be competitively employed. Previous employment status was predictive of competitive employment, with participants being 3.1 times more likely to be employed. Individuals who labeled themselves as "disabled" were less likely to be competitively employed.
Conclusions: This study's findings indicate that individuals with more severe psychiatric symptoms may require additional support in their pursuit of competitive employment, due to increased difficulty. Additionally, an emphasis on strengths-based language is warranted on the counselor side, to re-frame consumers' self-perception of their disability status and ability to obtain and maintain employment. The researchers point to benefits counseling, education targeting consumer concerns about employment (i.e., fear), and the use of effective motivational techniques.

Justice for Ahmaud
drgalloway Uncategorized November 19, 2021 7 Minutes
I experienced a miracle this week and feel a sense of duty to tell you about it.
I met Ms. Annie.
Ms. Annie is an eighty-nine-year-old black woman who has the slickest walker I've ever seen.
I used to admire (make that "COVET") Corvettes, Porche 911s, even MGs. Nowadays, I am admiring Ms. Annie's red walker. It has wheels to "roll on with your bad self", but it also has a convenient seat to use when you have made it to your destination.
I have been watching Ms. Annie carefully during the weeks of jury selection and now the actual trial in the Ahmaud Arbery trial here in Glynn County, coming a year and a half after the killing in the southern part of the county. Annie is often the person who starts the chant that ripples through the gathered family and neighbors, JUSTICE FOR AHMAUD!
There is just something powerful in her witness, to call out to the powers that be, demanding justice. She bellows out of passion in those moments, much louder than the way her regular diminutive voice sounds when she seems to whisper her comments and observations. I try to find a spot near her, because I don't want to miss her wisdom. She has been at the Courthouse every day since this trial began. As she tells me, "I'm here for the family." That's what "love" looks like these days in Glynn County, showing up and speaking up.
For those of you not familiar with the events of February 23, 20202, here's a brief summary:
Ahmaud was jogging through the Satilla Shores neighborhood. He stopped by a house under construction to look around, like I've done a hundred times in Atlanta. Only I was white. A couple of neighbors decided to chase Ahmaud down, as they described in statements, "to trap him like a rat".
The father-son pair grabbed a shotgun and a .357 pistol to go after this 25-year-old black man. They chased him around the neighborhood, trying to "trap" him, but Ahmaud was a runner who could evade their "traps". Finally, the father parked the car, while the son got out with a shotgun and proceeded to confront the young man head-on.
Ahmaud chose to head toward the shooter, rather than veer to the side, risking a shot to his back. The young white man shot into Ahmaud's shoulder, a wound that the medical examiner said would have been enough to kill him. Ahmaud continued forward to try to wrestle the gun away, but the shooter fired two more shots, the second into the center of Ahmaud's chest, causing him to collapse. ( for more details and history, see my note at the end)
All of this would have likely gone unreported, or altered, if it had not been recorded on the cell phone of the third defendant in this case. He, also a living in the neighborhood, picked up on the vigilante spirit and used his truck to assist in the trap. He just so happened to catch the final encounter on videotape, which found its way to the media some time later, which forced the demurring authorities to finally arrest these vigilantes. Otherwise, it, like so many other crimes like this, would have been ignored.
It's telling that the introduction of the capacity to capture events on a cell phone has changed our social landscape. This cell phone footage grabs people by the nap of their soul, and shakes them to make them see the reality of the violence that is being done. That is what happened when our lives were put in "freeze frame" during the pandemic. We saw, over and over, the violence used by a police officer, kneeling on the neck of George Floyd as he begged for air, calling for his mother. We were a witness to his death at the hands of an out-of-control cop, and it moved our collective soul.
The same thing happened with Ahmaud, as these vigilantes from the "Satilla Plantation" had to teach this "boy" a lesson, and took it upon themselves to chase him down, confront him with deadly force, and take his young life, as he bled out on the south Georgia asphalt. Jesus. What makes people do such a thing?
As the trial is going on, neighbors, family, and friends have been gathering in the morning at the courthouse. We pray, we chant sporadically if our cheerleader Annie feels a move of the spirit. But mostly we talk. About a lot of things. The weather, local news, who's sick, who is having a tough time. And then our talk will turn to the family, the family of Ahmaud, who are sitting in court, having to watch the video that is played incessantly, and to look at the coroner's photos, black and white, of the injuries inflicted on this young man with two shot gun blasts of buckshot, ammunition used to bring down deer on the run in the Fall. Jesus.
I'm new to this part of Georgia. I'm learning, or more accurately, trying to learn what makes the community tick. It's more small-town than I knew in the Atlanta I grew up in. My decade in Tyler, Texas taught me a little about living in a small town where everyone knows your business and where the bodies are buried. But this town is different, with a history of slavery, of a port city economy, of extravagant wealth on the island across the causeway, the creative entrepreneurial rebirth in the downtown, and the economic struggles of the working poor. It's not unlike most towns, but has that unique low country feel that my friend, Pat Conroy, taught me about. It's something of the ebb and flow of the tide, the glistening of the moon on the water, the unmistakable smell of the marsh….the famous marshes of Glynn. It's in the water.
But what I have discovered about this area is the neighborliness of the people. Of people genuinely looking out for one another, going the proverbial "extra mile" to care for the neighbor. Part of that spirit clearly comes, oozes out of the Southern soul of religiosity, grounded in religion. In the groups I have been with over the past few weeks, religion gets shared like breathing the air. It's a mix, Baptist South of God, Methodists, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Roman Catholic, Episcopalian, and Jewish. Everybody seems to keep it light, with no dogmatic or doctrinal fights that I could catch. Even the most outlandish theological statement would receive a simple smile, maybe a head-turn to hide the roll of the eyes, and of course the trademark, Bless Your Heart.
There is a sense of community that seems to thrive on neighborly awareness. Which is not all bad, as we in the South seem to favor comfort. But sometimes, comfort, mere comfort, keeping things comfortable, becomes a sin. We just don't want to rock the boat, face the hard reality, or deal with the inevitable pain of change.
I was struck on Tuesday driving over the causeway and coming to a billboard sign strategically placed for those traversing Highway 17. The sign had a notice of a prayer vigil taking place the next day, with an added admonition" "Pray for Peace".
Pray for Peace. Seems reasonable. Appropriate. Desirable. In order. Who doesn't want peace? I remember when I was growing up, facing a war I did not understand, I was captured by the lyrics on the Beatles' bard, John Lennon, "Give peace a chance"! It was our mantra, our chant. That phrase became enhanced and real by the man who wrote on my heart about following the "Jesus way", talking specifically about a vexing radicality: love your neighbor, even your enemy. Lord? And, he added, "practice non-violence". Jesus, are you kidding me?
As I saw the billboard sign, Pray for Peace, I thought it a worthy admonition, certainly better than an advertisement for a ginormous personal injury lawyer, or fast food, or some other odd sales offering.
But I also thought: "What about justice?"
It's not enough to merely maintain a placid community, which is of course good for business and commerce. But what of our sense of values, of justice. A man is shot down as he runs through a neighborhood. The thought of a pickup truck, with two white guys, chasing down a black man and killing him just sounds too close to the bad story that's been told in this country for way too long. Peace, I can pray for, but not at the expense of justice.
Love without justice is mere sentimentality, the jibber-jabber of a Hallmark card Christianity. I did not understand this when I was a freshman in college, trying to read and grasp the wisdom of theologians, although I could regurgitate it on a test, just like some folks that quote more Bible verses than they are willing to live. But now, I actually understand that dialectical tension . And I am trying. Trying real hard. Right here, right now.
Thank God, I experienced a miracle in my life: finding a person older than me. Ms. Annie Polite is trying to teach me, educational advocate that she is, about the powerful, profound dynamic between love and justice. Justice for Ahmaud! Justice for Ahmaud! Justice for Ahmaud! I can see her daily, but she's now in my mind's eye, and more importantly, in my heart.
So I hope you will pray for peace. But don't forget, or deny, the need to pray for justice.
Justice for Ahmaud. Indeed.
*NOTE* For an excellent adventure into the background of the Armaud Arbery killing, I recommend listening to BURIED TRUTHS, a podcast by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Herb Klibanoff, who has investigated "cold case" civil rights cases here in Georgia. His third season focuses on the Arbery incident. Herb sent his Emory students to do background research and it has resulted in a view of the depth in culture and history of this region, and the persons involved. You will not regret the time invested. I got to know Herb through our work at the Carter Center.

Peadar Ó Cearnaigh (Dublín, 12 de desembre de 1883 - Dublín, 24 de novembre de 1942) fou un activista polític, escriptor, poeta i compositor irlandès. És autor de nombroses cançons patriòtiques, entre d'altres, l'himne nacional irlandès (Amhrán na bhFiann).

Va néixer el 12 de desembre de 1883 al número 68 del carrer Lower Dorset de Dublín (República d'Irlanda). De jove, compatibilitzava la seva feina de jornaler amb la de compositor de cançons, poemes i peces teatrals. D'altra banda, fou oncle de Brendan Behan i Dominic Behan, dos escriptors irlandesos també famosos.

L'any 1901 ingressà a la Lliga Gaèlica i l'any 1903 a la Germandat Republicana Irlandesa (IRB). Va impartir classes nocturnes d'irlandès tenint a Seán O'Casey entre els seus alumnes. L'any 1907, quan treballava fora d'escenari al Teatre de l'Abadia, va escriure íntegrament la lletra de l'Amhrán na bhFiann, i posteriorment en va compondre conjuntament la melodia. L'any 1912 fou publicada per primera vegada al periòdic "Irish Freedom" i esdevingué, ràpidament, la cançó més famosa del patriotes irlandesos.

Va ser membre fundador dels Voluntaris Irlandesos l'any 1913. En la Revolta de Pasqua de 1916, va lluitar des de la fàbrica de galetes Jacob's al II Batalló dirigit per Thomas MacDonagh. Va aconseguir escapar abans que el batalló fos arrestat. L'any 1920, a la Guerra d'Independència, fou destinat al camp d'internament de Ballykinlar situat al comtat de Down. Íntim amic de Michael Collins, es decantà per la creació de la República d'Irlanda durant la Guerra Civil Irlandesa (1922-1923). Després d'haver vençut la Guerra Civil s'allunyà dels temes de política.

L'any 1926, la tornada va ser adoptada com a himne oficial, substituint l'himne fenià God Save Ireland utilitzat fins al moment com a no-oficial. L'any 1928 es publicà el llibre "La Cançó del Soldat de Kearney i altres poemes". Algunes de les altres cançons importants que va escriure són: The Three-coloured Ribbon, Down by the Liffey, Down by the Glenside, i Erin Go Bragh -lema inscrit en la bandera republicana irlandesa abans de la formació de l'estat irlandès-.

Morí el 24 de novembre de 1942 al barri d'Inchicore de Dublín (Irlanda) en situació de precarietat econòmica. Fou enterrat al cementiri de Glasnevin a Dublín i, a la mateixa ciutat, a la vorera oest del carrer Dorset, li dedicaren una placa commemorativa.

She trained as an adviser at Maidenhead CAB in 1986. Four years later she joined the management team and in 1994 became the manager, a role that gave her opportunities to gain insight and understanding of the structures of the borough community: its statutory provisions, its local government functions and its exceptionally vibrant voluntary sector.
In 2010 Pat retired from full time CAB work. This has allowed her more time to devote to other voluntary roles including Rotary and several other essential local voluntary services. However, she has since joined the Slough CAB team in a part-time role.

Music and sounds of Graeme (Morpheus)
Graeme (Morpheus)
I have always had an varied interest in music since an early age and I believe that sound and the use of particular frequencies, can be used therapeutically, physically vibrating the body, stimulating the mind, and uplifting the soul. The arrangement of these sounds, combined with the transformational power of dance, can take a person on a journey, of which discovery and Emancipation can be the resulting outcome.
At 18, I discovered the emerging electronic dance music scene, followed by an expansive collection of early psychedelic sounds circa 1960-1975. I was introduced to Psy-trance during the late 90's at the Phantasm Label Launch Party in Tyssen Street, London. Prognosis came into fruition as a result of Craig Lee & I as we began working together during the summer of 1997, to create psychedelic soundscapes for the dancefloor. Find out more and listen to our mix archive @ hearthis.at/prognosis.graeme
During 1998-99, I took the Prognosis sound on tour, to numerous free party and events around the UK. In 2000, I went to the John Marley Centre in Newcastle, for music technology, sequencing and mastering, which has allowed me to develop my interests and abilities further, as well as working with Kagdila Records - a Californian Psy Trance label, during 2004-5.
2008 saw an end to my involvement with Prognosis in order to spend more time with family, however 2014 saw new beginnings after rebuilding my studio and the opportunity to return to Boom festival in Portugal. This page serves as a platform on which to host some of my more recent experiments, which I hope you enjoy - Namaste !!!

Life forever changed on a cold, blustery day in February 2015. That morning, I was shocked to discover that my husband and I were expecting our first child after a decade long battle with infertility. And yet, my son's conception wouldn't be the only miracle we saw during our journey to parenthood. The beginning of my pregnancy was like a dream those first few months but then my elation turned into the fight of our lives. At 24 weeks, I arrived at the hospital by ambulance where an ER doctor was instrumental in recognizing the signs and symptoms of bilateral pulmonary emboli so my unborn son and I could live. From then on, our lives were hanging in the balance between life and death by a thread known as blood thinner therapy. I was considered very high risk thereafter and I was monitored very closely for the duration of my pregnancy. When I delivered our son that autumn, I felt like I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. We made it! All of the challenges to becoming a family were behind us now, or so I thought.
Then, one week after our son's birth, another nightmare began that was a razor's edge away from tearing our new little family apart. I didn't know what was wrong but I knew it was bad. My body was dying and it was time to go for help but what hurt the most was when my heart broke into one million pieces as I kissed my week-old baby goodbye just in case I never made it home again. What we didn't know at the time was that I had been bleeding internally for close to 48 hours. I'll never forget the look on my husband's face in the ER that day. As the doctors and nurses frantically worked to stabilize me in the trauma unit, he stood at the end of my stretcher, firmly holding onto my feet as if his grasp could keep me on this side of death. His expression spoke volumes about the mountain of fear and heartbreak he was feeling without uttering a single word. We later learned how close to death I had been when my doctor told us she pulled five liters of blood from my abdomen during surgery. I don't even remember how many units I received, but I know I made a significant dent in a hospital's blood supply that morning and I will never look at blood donation the same way ever again.
I am one of the many faces of the rising rate of maternal mortality and near misses in the United States. It's a growing community of women that I never hoped to be a part of but one that I can say I am glad to be among because it means I lived to tell about it. I am a maternal bilateral pulmonary emboli survivor. I am a stage 3 postpartum hemorrhage survivor and multiple blood transfusion recipient. It wasn't supposed to be this way, of course. I planned on a smooth and uneventful pregnancy. I used to be blissfully unaware. I used to be someone just like you. I used to think catastrophic things happened to other people but it turns out that they happen to ordinary people like you and me and usually when we least expect it. I am grateful to live in an area of the world where excellent medical care is the norm and it is literally a few miles from my home. I'm thankful that during the most challenging time of my life, there were ample resources to help me survive. I am well aware this is a luxury, even in some parts of the United States.
It has been over a year since these events unfolded and I still wish there was a way for me to personally thank my donors. I imagine myself ringing their doorbells, grasping their hands with both of mine and tearfully thanking them for the tremendous gift they have given to me. I want them to see our faces. I want them to hear our names. I want them to know that a little family is alive and well, in part, because of them. The people who took the time to give a portion of themselves by donating blood, platelets and cells played an important role in saving my life that day and the ones that followed. They gave me so much more than blood! Together with my surgeons and the staff that cared for me, they gave us a fighting chance to be a family again. By God's grace and mercy, my son will not wander through life asking his Daddy questions about a woman he calls Momma but doesn't know.
As I continue to grieve and heal from the far-reaching consequences of those days, it is my hope that a greater purpose will emerge from our pain over time. I am among the very few women to survive the two leading causes of maternal mortality in the world! I cannot stay silent when there is work to be done to help the others that will come along behind me. And sadly, there will be others. The first step is to bravely tell my story and then advocate so others can be survivors too. Last year, I began what I call "survival traditions", which are annual acts of service on my trauma anniversaries to pay the incredible blessing of survival forward. In June, I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge with the National Blood Clot Alliance to raise funds and awareness for blood clots and pulmonary embolism. Then in October, I was eligible to donate blood for the first time since my hemorrhage emergency. I rolled up my sleeve knowing that this small act of kindness isn't small at all when you consider that it allows families to go on and maybe even thrive again when their crisis is far enough behind them. Walking and donating blood meant I was helping other families in the middle of their own nightmare and in turn it began to mend the utter brokenness left in the wake of my own. There were tears in my eyes as I remembered but also because we had come so far during these harsh three hundred and sixty-five days. I am battered but I survived. Twice! And I am confident that God will give beauty for these ashes.
This January is National Blood Donor Month and I recently learned that the Red Cross issued an emergency call for blood and platelets. I have seen their pleas for public assistance on social media during this blood shortage crisis and I can't help but put my own experiences into it. If there was a blood shortage during my hemorrhage emergency, I very likely may not be standing here typing. If you have never donated blood before or haven't done so in a while, I hope my story inspires you to start this month! I understand there are many who wish to give blood but cannot due to medical conditions but the fact remains that most eligible donors do not give! If you cannot give, please encourage your friends and family to give. There is such a critical need for blood and as my experience indicates, you never know when you might need blood yourself. To the active donors, I hope you think about the lasting impact you have on families just like mine. Keep giving every 56 days! While your recipients may never get the opportunity to thank you, I have no doubt that they would express their deepest gratitude if they could. They are so grateful for your kindness and generosity because they know all too well that the blood running through their veins is not entirely their own anymore. You are forever a part of them.

Bergbau ist eine Knappensiedlung in der Gemeinde Hohentauern in der Steiermark.

Lage
Der kleine Ort liegt nordwestlich von Hohentauern am Osthang des Lärchkogels in einer Talung am Sunkbach, die Sunk genannt wird.

Geschichte
Die Sunk stellt ein altes Magnesit- und Graphit-Abbaugebiet darstellt, das um 1640 erstmals nachweislich ist, und im 19. Jahrhundert für die Stahlproduktion intensiviert wurde,  und im Trieben verarbeitet wurde.
Aufgrund der exponierten Lage des Bergbaues entwickelte sich alsbald eine kleine Ansiedlung, die mit dem Beginn der Industrialisierung und der Ausweitung des Bergbaues ebenso ausgebaut wurde. Die ersten Arbeiterwohnungen im Sunk waren sechs zweistöckige Blockhäuser in Form von Arbeiterbaracken für 97 Arbeiter. Die Baracken waren nur mit Brettern verschlagen und die Fugen mit Moos verkleidet. Für unverheiratete Bergarbeiter wurden einfacher ausgestattete Burschenhäuser errichtet. Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde eine Seilbahn durch den Sunk errichtet.

Mit der späteren Trennung der Wohneinheiten von Angestellten und Arbeitern zog diese Differenzierung auch in den Wohnbau ein.
Die heutige Bergbau-Siedlung, direkt beim Ort Hohentauern, entstand in den 1960er-Jahren und besteht aus Einfamilienhäusern mit Satteldach und einem zugehörigen Garten zum Gemüseanbau. Die Baupläne wurden den bauwilligen Bergarbeitern vom Bergbaubetrieb zur Verfügung gestellt, wodurch in der Siedlung ein einheitlicher Haustyp entstand.

1991 wurde der Bergbau eingestellt,  hier befinden sich heute nurmehr einige wenige Baulichkeiten, die eigentliche Knappensiedlung ist abgekommen. Die Geschichte ist im  Bergbaumuseum im Gemeindehaus Hohentauern dokumentiert.

Juli 2013 wurde der Magnesitabbau probeweise wieder aufgenommen.

I grew up on sixty acres of woodland in southern Maine with my five siblings, all of whom also have creative writing tendencies. I was home schooled all the way through high school by my mom, also a writer, and my dad, an editor. Some of my other interests include reading, travel, and letter writing. I am currently finishing a BA in Creative Writing, and I thank God and give Him the glory for the talent He has given me. I also thank my parents for encouraging that talent, and my college writing teachers for helping me shape and refine it.
During three weeks on a mission trip to Odessa, Ukraine, my team worked with a church doing special music and a children's day camp. At the camp, each group was led by an American, a Ukrainian from the church, and an interpreter. My interpreter was Anya, and she was not saved. She was a nice young lady in a lot of ways, but I was selfish and didn't talk to her as much as I had oportunity to. I wish I had opened my heart and shared my salvation testimony. I had a wonderful oportunity that I wasted. God has used this in my life to help me realize how important it is to share the gospel, and that I may never have a second chance to speak to someone.
but they are apartment buildings.
more kind to Anya while I was here.
Now I am glad that Misha is driving so fast.


Shashi Kapoor, the charming, romantic hero of numerous Indian films, has died at 79 years of age after a prolonged illness, according to relatives and doctors at a Mumbai hospital.
The star of Hindi films and theatre, a son of Prithviraj Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor the embodiment of romance and charm who wooed the top leading ladies of the '70s and '80s on the silver screen and captivated millions of fans, died on Monday 4-dec-2017. He was 79.
The actor-producer took his last breath at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai. "Yes, he has passed away. He had a kidney problem and was on dialysis for several years," said his nephew Randhir Kapoor, the son of the late Raj Kapoor.
Bhai, tum sign karoge ya nahin?
Kapoor acted in more than 100 Hindi films. He also appeared in a handful of British and American films produced by Merchant Ivory Productions, run by Ismail Merchant and James Ivory.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Kapoor acted in a string of Bollywood hits, some of which he co-starred in with actor Amitabh Bachchan, including Deewar (The Wall, 1975) and Namak Halaal (The Loyal Servant, 1982) besides Kabhie Kabhie.
The English-language films Kapoor acted in include The Householder (1963) and Shakespeare-Wallah (1965) by Merchant Ivory Productions.
Shashi Kapoor started his career as a child artist with Aag in 1948, and after some similar roles went on to grab his first adult role in Dharamputra (1961).

Everyone will love the hearty combination of vegetables, chicken and sauce in this unique version of chicken potpie. And the tasty homemade crust is so simple to prepare.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sour cream until smooth. Beat in egg. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sage; gradually add to butter mixture (mixture will be sticky). Spread onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 10-in. pie plate.
For filling, in a large saucepan, saute vegetables in butter over medium heat until crisp-tender. Stir in chicken and soup. Spoon into the crust. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand for 10 minutes.

I found this recipe a few years ago in my OUR WISCONSIN magazine. Never found one better, it has become a favorite.
It isnt a quick make but I double this and freeze one pie. It is so delicious either way. I've added diffferent veggies like chopped kale instead of peppers; still delicious!
Delicious. Not super fast or easy to make--not too bad either--but even my kids liked it, and the smell coming out of the oven was wonderful.
I received this recipe several years ago from Taste of Home and really liked it. The crust is more of a bread type crust rather than the traditional pastry type crust, (although that is good, too). Sometimes I will add a little dill along with the sage.
This recipe is a favorite of mine- I clipped it from a newspaper which said the recipe came off the back of bag of Pillsbury flour about 40 years ago. It's easy and delicious!

To start with, I want to say I am always interested in having guest posts on Spare Candy!
I don't have any strict guidelines for guest posts, but in general the topic should be related to feminism and equality. That can include anything on gender, class, race/ethnicity, orientation, ability, sexuality, etc. It can be about a personal experience, legislation, popular culture (TV, movies, books, music, and so on) or really anything else. Length doesn't matter, long or short or in between.
You can either send an idea to my e-mail -- rosiered23 (at) sparecandy (dot) com -- and we could discuss that before the post is written, or if you want to submit a post in its entirety for me to check out, that's fine, too. Posts should include a short author bio and link to your site, if applicable. Posts can include photos; either attach them or point me to them on the Internet.
Submitted posts are subject to editing, but no big changes will be made without first consulting the author.
I'm also always looking for "In History" posts, so if you have an interest in profiling a woman in history, let me know! And if you have a post or have read a post you think would fit in my Sunday reading column, feel free to send me a link and I can include it.
Any other questions, shoot me an e-mail!


Ah yes, the traditional Thanksgiving menu; let's assemble the parade of protein and starch shall we? Turkey (of course!) with some kind of stuffing usually involving bread; mashed potatoes, or a creamy, cheesy, potato gratin; sweet potatoes, (no, they are not yams!) with or without marshmallows, as you like; maybe some preparation of turnips or squash; cranberry sauce, wobbly or not; and some luscious pumpkin pie. See what I mean? Not too much in the way of green vegetables.
To prevent holiday scurvy in our house we try to provide at least one green vegetable every year. One big hit from the past, which I may make again this year, is a Warm Salad of Autumn Greens with Plum Vinaigrette from Fine Cooking Issue Number 29, November 1998 (yes, I am a long time subscriber). It combines slightly wilted spinach, swiss chard (or kale) and frisée (or escarole) with toasted hazelnuts and a dressing made from plum preserves and Champagne vinegar. Besides being good for you (your digestion will thank you in the morning), the greens and the fruity, sharp vinaigrette make a nice palate cleanser between helpings of those heavier dishes. Hey look, here's the recipe on the Fine Cooking website.
Another wonderful green option is brussels sprouts. I know some people claim not to like them, but try out the recipe below and see if they still protest. I was recently shopping at my local farmers' market with a friend and saw sprouts still on the stalk, looking like some kind of weird modern art. In the finest market tradition, my friend rattled off this ridiculously simple recipe which I tried that very night. My husband, who is agnostic, but wary, when it comes to brussels sprouts, loved them; I swear we ate a pound between us.
Their little tiny leaves get a bit charred and crunchy, giving them some sweetness which balances perfectly with the balsamic vinegar. Trust me, those sprout haters will be asking for this recipe as you send them out into the night full of protein, starch, and a few green veggies.
If you can't find brussels sprouts still on the stalk, look for firm, dark green ones with no yellow leaves.
Pour a liberal amount of olive oil into a large sheet pan or baking dish. Slice your sprouts in half and put them cut face down in one layer in the pan. Moisten the tops of the sprouts with a little more oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast for about 45 minutes or until they're starting to turn a little black (really!). Put them in a serving dish and toss with some good balsamic vinegar.


No clear history concerning a Scout Band in Cambridge District has been located. The term 'band' or 'the Band' are used without qualifying titles. Occasionally they can be seen to be bands belonging to other associations in Cambridge.
The following references are all we have concerning bands. A Cambridge District Band can only be identified in the years between 1919 and 1923. Early Annual Reports do not mention a band.
1911 George Black recalls the 1st as having a bugle band in 1911. One bugle was usual, a second was won and a side drum purchased.
1922 In November 1922 the Cambridge Chronicle reported 'The Association Band headed Church Parade in Haslingfield'.
A series of Troop photographs from the local press in and around 1921 show some with instruments. The 7th Cambridge District (Harston) display both bugles and drums although this is not described here or elsewhere as a band. The 22nd Cambridge photograph from this series does not display instruments although as noted above they gave three to the (District) band. It is probably not a clear indication of the number of Troops possessing instruments.
1960's District Minutes St Georges Day parades were often accompanied by 'The band'. It is not clear who the Band was from the District Minutes but they were paid £3/3/0 (three guineas).
The early Scouting magazines advertised both bugles and drums although in the midst of the great depression of the 1930's mouth organs were more usual. The Rover (1934 – 1936) advertised harmonicas for Crew bands. Maybe fashion had altered, certainly money was short.
At Abington near the campfire 'Jesu, joy of mans desiring' on an oboe'..
1940 54th camp L Peel 'provided some entertainment with his mouth organ'…'Troop Leader J Watling brought his piano accordion'.
The 48th Cambridge contrived an Ox horn incised with '48th Cambridge' along the side and Boy Scouts within a Scout emblem on the bell. It was suspended by a leather thong.
Cambridge has an enviable range of music, instruments and teachers. One Group claimed two harpists who played together for their Jamboree funds, and Cambridge scouts have participated in the National Scout and Guide Symphony Orchestra (NSGSO). Violins, or maybe in this context fiddles, have been used around the camp fire. Buglers for Remembrance Day have volunteered and been up to the mark. One eight year old Cub received the highest Staged Musicians badge.
The Gang shows produced musicians able to both perform and entertain.

Lashina's exact background is unknown, though as a member of the Female Furies, certain key elements are common to all. She was raised on Apokolips in the Orphanage of Granny Goodness, a torturous environment where only the strongest survive. As she proved herself a strong and versatile killer she was eventually chosen as a member of Granny Goodness's elite squad of assassins known as the Female Furies. She was originally chosen as only a member, but after Big Barda fled from the group she was chosen as its leader.
She appeared for the first time in Mister Miracle #6 in 1972. She and the remainder of the Female Furies were introduced not only as antagonists to Mister Miracle and Big Barda, but also to their romantic relationship as Granny Goodness sought the two of them to be separated forever as punishment. She was created by Jack Kirby.
Character Evolution
In the silver and bronze age the character was portrayed somewhat one dimensionally, interested only in the downfall of Mister Miracle and Big Barda. Following Crisis on Infinite Earths, the majority of the DC Universe was relaunched, and although one of the least touched areas was that of the New Gods, many of the more obscure characters were re-introduced into the mainstream comic continuity. Especially after Legends when Mister Miracle joined the Justice League and when she joined the Suicide Squad. In the pages of the John Ostrander written Suicide Squad she had the most development as a character, as she took on the pseudonym Duchess and joined the Squad on its missions for a short time. She would later go back to being somewhat of a stock supervillain.
Major Story Arcs
As with the majority of the silver age, most of her early appearances had no real discernable story arcs. Although by this point in comic history the characters evolved over a series of issues and previous events were not largely forgotten (as opposed to the golden age), there was still not much of continuity between her appearances.
With her re-introduction in the pages of Suicide Squad in the 1980s, she was involved in story arcs for the first time. Her first appearance in issue #3 was a wrap-up issue for the Legends miniseries as the Female Furies are sent to Belle Reve prison to retrieve Glorious Godfrey. Bernadeth, long jealous of her role as leader of the Furies, arranged to have her kicked out of the Boom Tube at the last moment and she was thrown into the nearby swamps of Louisiana. As the Squad was later hunting Manhunters through the swamps during the events of Millennium they discovered her there and returned her to the prison after they had completed their mission. She had amnesia for a time and agreed to join the team on its mission under the name Duchess. Although she would later regain her memory she was clearly confused for a time as when the Squad confronted the Justice League she was unable to remember who Mister Miracle is. She would later regain her memory and plan her return to Apokolips to take back control of the Furies. She first took part in the events of the Janus Directive in which the Squad battled the forces of Kobra, but after its completion she decided to return. She acquired a boom tube by kidnapping Barda and abducted some of the stronger members of the Squad to aid her. Later the rest of the Squad traveled to stop her as they were transported to Apokolips by the Forever People. Multiple Squad members die as a result of this. She is subsequently able to kill Bernadeth in battle. Although Darkseid applauded her battle to take back the Furies, he nonetheless was displeased with her for presuming to alter the affairs of how Apokolips is run, and killed her with his Omega Beams.
As with anyone killed by Darkseid though, he is able to revive them (a caveat to this is that they are under his absolute control, but in the case of someone like Lashina or Bernadeth this is not an issue.) After being revived she was once again installed as the leader of the Female Furies. She shows up a few times afterwards as well, still trying as always to return Mister Miracle to Apokolips.
In the Hawkgirl story arc where she searches for Hath-Set she comes across the Female Furies who were in charge of a group of parademons that was searching for some stolen technology. The Furies eventually have to work alongside Hawkgirl in an unlikely partnership. She also later shows up in the Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle miniseries as a prostitute and dominatrix who has been sent by Darkseid to defeat Shilo Norman, and to stop him from freeing the first superhero of Earth, Aurakles.
During Our Worlds At War, Lashina leads Bernadeth, Stompa, and Mad Harriet on a mission to kill Harley Quinn. They are able to ambush Quinn but Jimmy Olsen helps Harley and the pair escape.
Granny Goodness was later able to reprogram Superman into think he is Darkseid's son and that he controlled Lashina, the Furies and all the armies of Darkseid. It is insinuated that he and Lashina were romantically involved during this time, though he is later able to free himself from this control. Later when Darkseid is missing, a civil war erupts on Apokolips as Kanto and Virman Vunderbar attempt to gain power, while Granny Goodness and her Female Furies, await the return of their leader.
During the events of Final Crisis, Lashina retakes her human dominatrix form and is in charge of Darkseid's underground fight club known as the Darkside Club. Here teenage metahumans are made to fight and Miss Martian and Rose Wilson break free of the club. The Anti-Life Equation later sweeps across Earth and many super heroines an villainesses are put under the power of Darkseid to form a new group of Female Furies. These include variety of characters including Wonder Woman and Catwoman, with Catwoman taking on the role of Lashina to a degree as both are skilled with whips.
Although the status of many of the Apokolips based characters was uncertain following the events of Final Crisis, since the reboot into the new 52 it seems as though their stories have also been rebooted, with a healthy and full power Darkseid being seen in the pages of Justice League. Presumably the remainder of his forces are also back to their baseline state.
Lashina is a New God and thus contains the usual characteristics thereof including increased strength and endurance and invulnerability. She is also an expert in hand to hand combat. While not one of the absolute strongest characters, she is nonetheless quite powerful, at least able to fight with the likes of Supergirl and Wonder Woman, even if she cannot match their strength levels. She employs two specialized whips which are constructed of metal and which can discharge electricity to those trapped within them. She is also an expert with these whips and can do a variety of feats with them.

Join us at MKG DETROIT for our 2nd annual Holiday Open House Gym Party! This year's party is being held in January, so that the craziness of the holiday season can settle a bit, and we can come together to kick off 2017 on the right foot (multiple puns not intended). Our community has grown quite a bit in 2016, and this party will be a perfect chance to get to know your training partners without first having to hit them in the face.
All MKG gatherings are open-house style get-togethers, so families and friends are welcome! New to MKG? Never been here before? Come on by, check out the gym, and meet some new friends. This is a potluck event, so while some refreshments will be provided, please bring a dish you love to make (or that your grocery store loves to make). We will be holding a couple of 30 minute mini-classes during the party, details TBD, so stay tuned.

Dear 31-year-old Me…
Are we okay? Did we make it?
We had a tough 2014 didn't we? But at least it was better than 2013. Do you remember? The year we seriously wondered what life would look like without us in it. By default that means 2015 could only have gotten better, and I really hope it has!
As I write this I'm considering our past year. Highlighted by our epic 30th birthday celebrations at a private members' club in central London and dogged by the halting progress of the divorce we never wanted. The Bible sums up completely how we felt about it in Malachi 2:16, "To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty." Do you remember that pain? Like we might drown in our own sadness? I hope not. I hope that memory has been long erased and that we are finally able to truly realise every cliche thrown at us in our moments of despair: 'There is always light at the end of the tunnel', 'Every cloud has a silver lining', 'Everything happens for a reason" and even the biblical, "Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning" (Psalm 30:5). Sad people make others uncomfortable. I hope we've thrown off sadness and have embraced joy and peace.
#ChooseHappiness
I didn't want to set goals for us in 2015. We've dealt with enough pressure already. I just want us to live; fully and wholly and to embrace the life we have while we still have it. This is what Jesus died for, that we might, "have life and have it more abundantly." (John 10:10) But on reflection how has that moulded us? Are we less judgemental? More daring? Less self-conscious? Have we managed to stop swearing? To shake off that short attention span when it comes to relationships? And most importantly, do we still have a large capacity to love? Don't let that go, future me. Above all else, love.
What do our friendships look like? Have we managed to let go of those toxic relationships and nurtured those that bring positivity into our life? Have we let go of the pain of betrayal? (If not, please do! Life is too short to worry about what has already happened and what cannot and will not change.)
So many questions...we always were cut out for journalism! But even if you can only answer positively to some of them (while others may remain permanantly on our 'To Do List') and even if we have done things we are not proud of; we still made it! If at the end of 2015 we still have breath and hope then from one Me to another, I want you to know, I'm so proud of us. Well done!

What if we're better than ok?
That's the answer I got when I asked myself that simple but not so easy question. What if we're better than ok? And when we're not ok, what if that's ok?
I remain both a fan and a cheerleader in your corner
Deep. Real. Incisively honest. Forward thinking.


Food allergy, a significant public health concern in the developed world has developed a forensic context where allergy related personal injury, fatality or criminal non-compliance on the part of a food supplier are issues that have recently come before the UK courts. EU General Food Law (178/2002/EC) and Directive 2000/13/EC (to be consolidated into the proposed Food Information Regulation) address allergen avoidance risks relating to composition, labelling and food safety. The European Framework Directive on Safety and Health at Work (Directive 89/391 EEC and daughter legislation) may also be deployed. Compensation in civil law for loss or damage caused by an allergic reaction to a food supplied, not as requested, or with misleading or incorrect information has also been sought. The authors describe recent such cases dealing with prepacked retail and non prepacked catering situations where contraventions of food law could have resulted in fatalities, and health and safety and civil litigation following deaths from food allergy. The cases came before the civil (including appeal) courts, magistrates and coroner's courts. In the absence of a current cure, health protection depends on accurate diagnosis, informed food allergen avoidance and the effective management of symptoms. These strategies depend in turn on the multilayered approaches adopted by clinicians, scientists, food suppliers, allergic consumers (and those who care for them), and regulators. Effective food allergen avoidance depends on the diagnosed consumer knowing what to avoid, being able to access correct ingredients information and to rely on the absence of allergen cross-contamination. Access to ingredients information may be via a label, menu or other printed means, or by enquiring of a staff member who may not always appreciate the implications of such a request or be competent in managing food allergy risks. Lapses in any of these areas may have forensic consequences beyond even their initial (sometimes severe) personal impact.


What is the Zebra ZQ500 Series?
Home/Blog/What is the Zebra ZQ500 Series?
Zebra Technologies is constantly introducing new, more efficient printers to replace older models.
This is one of many reasons to purchase and use Zebra printers in your workplace or organization. You will always have a top-of-the line product, with the latest technological features.
One of the newest printers to be released by Zebra is the ZQ500 Series.
The Zebra ZQ500 Series are Mobile Printers, made up of two models: the ZQ510 and the ZQ520.
The Zebra ZQ500 Series are a replacement for the older Zebra RW Series, which consisted of two models: the RW220 and the RW420.
The Zebra RW Series Printers were designed for rugged, outdoor printing applications. The body was built from a durable, abrasive-resistant plastic that could withstand the elements, as well as falls and scrapes.
The RW Series was officially discontinued on November 30th, 2015. Zebra is offering service and support on the RW Series until December 20th, 2020.
You can find out more information on the RW Series here.
What Makes the Zebra ZQ500 Series So Special?
The Zebra ZQ500 Series of Mobile Printers are, simply put, built to last.
Zebra ZQ500 Printers are lightweight, yet engineered to handle the bumps, drops and collisions that are part of the job.
The printers feature a patented military design that meets third-party-verified MIL-STD 810G military standards for shock, vibration and temperature exposure.
Extreme environments and bangs and bumps are no match for these lightweight, compact printers. Zebra's ZQ510 and ZQ520 printers are the most rugged printers available; this is one advantage that this series has over the RW Series.
The Zebra ZQ500 Series can perform in the widest operating temperature range in the industry and can withstand repeated drops to concrete from up to 6.6 feet.
In addition, the ZQ500 Series can withstand exposure to water and water spray. These printers have an IP Code rating of IP 54.
Featuring Zebra's Link-OS environment, the Zebra ZQ500 Series of Printers are easy to integrate, manage and maintain.
Zebra ZQ500 Printers are designed for intuitive, simple use, from the first shift to the last.
The simplified user interface reduces the amount of accidentally changed printer settings, and the large buttons increase accuracy for gloved hands and fingers.
Intuitive media loading reduces time employees spend changing rolls, and with sleep mode the printer wakes up when a job is sent and conserves battery power when not in use.
The Zebra ZQ500 Printers are Zebra's first products to support a secondary Bluetooth communication channel, an innovative feature that allows one channel to send print jobs to the printer while a second channel performs additional functions such as device management.
These printers also feature "draft mode" which optimizes the printing speed (up to 5 inches per minute) for text-only printing.
The Zebra ZQ500 Series are Mobile Printers, so it makes sense that using these printers will help to increase your mobility, which in turn increases your productivity.
Zebra ZQ500 accessories are designed to optimize the tight spaces of mobile work environments, such as vehicles, through small footprints and multipurpose use.
With easy and reliable vehicle charging options, employees can grab their device and go.
The battery eliminator enables users to rely solely on vehicle power for fixed in-vehicle applications, erasing the need to replace the battery over the life of the printer.
Zebra ZQ500 Series Printers also offer adapters to attach vehicle cradles to existing e-charge and settlement room brackets.
The Zebra ZQ500 Series is made up of two printers: the ZQ510 and the ZQ520.
The Zebra ZQ510 features a 3″ print width, with a 203 dpi image, and a variety of interface options.
The Zebra ZQ520 features a 4″ print width, with a 203 dpi image, and a variety of interface options.
Both of these printers are direct thermal only. The ZQ500 Series does NOT offer any thermal transfer printing capabilities.
The ZQ500 Series can handle media with a .75″ core, and a 2.2″ outer diameter.
The Zebra ZQ500 Series are the ultimate family of printers for rugged, outdoor applications.
These printers can take a beating. They can be dropped, splashed with water, exposed to dust and grime, and still print out invoices, bar code labels, and receipts.
You can even cover your printer with a Zebra Exoskeleton, which will increase drop resistance to a whopping 12 ft. That's right, you can drop this printer from 12 ft, and it will still be working!
Check out our exclusive Youtube video on the Zebra ZQ520.
They are easy-to-use, and easy-to-integrate into your operations. The ZQ500 Series is smaller and lighter than the RW Series.
Use the Zebra ZQ500 Series in warehousing, asset tracking, retail, and utility/outdoor applications.
All models of the Zebra ZQ510 and ZQ520 are now available for purchase from PLS, at the best prices available.
