"La Cage aux Folles" was written by Harvey Fierstein, with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman, and is directed by Missy Koonce, who has directed for The Unicorn Theatre, the Coterie Theatre, The Living Room Theatre and many others in the Kansas City area. "The Legend of Georgia McBride" was written by Matthew Lopez and is directed by Peter Zazzali, the Artistic Director for Kansas Repertory Theatre.
Kansas Repertory Theatre performances of "La Cage aux Folles" are July 13, 19, 21 and 27 at 7:30 p.m. and July 15 and 29 at 2:30 p.m. Performances of "The Legend of Georgia McBride" are July 14, 20, 26 and 28 at 7:30 p.m. and July 22 at 2:30 p.m. The performances will share a set in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre at Murphy Hall, and some of the performers have also been cast in both shows.
Zazzali, who is also an associate professor at KU's Department of Theatre, said he wants to remind the community that these stories will be brought to life by a company of mostly professional actors, and that as part of KU, the Kansas Repertory Theatre embraces the idea of diversity, equity and inclusion.
"This season's selections speak to the creative and open-minded nature of the Lawrence community. Both deploy drag as a vehicle for transformation and personal growth. They are packed with stunning cabaret numbers, comic genius, and flashy spectacle towards delivering a pair of poignant stories about family. In the spirit of Kansas Repertory's commitment to diversity and inclusion these stories remind of the importance of accepting people for who they are regardless of race, gender, age, or sexual identity."

Mama' Bank Account
In Economics
Mama's Bank Account is book written by Kathryn Forbes. It contains the story of a Norwegian family living in San Francisco during the 1920's. It contains a group of sketches showing Mama who is the main character also the mother of the narrator, raising her family in San Francisco. It is narrated from Katrin's point of view, who is the eldest daughter. She desires a writing career in future. The book is centered on Mama's relationships with her husband who is a carpenter five children, her Uncle Chris, her Aunt Elna, and four of her sisters. This kind of family is the extended type of family that works, mainly because of Mama's talents of understanding and mediation. The author McLean gives the character of each family member well and in a clear manner. Each of them performs regularly in the stories, which are saturated by an atmosphere full of humor and optimism. In distressing periods such as strikes and illness, the ability and common sense of Mama prevail in making things right. Many of the stories contained in the book show the difficulties of Americanization, but all in all the wisdom that Mama has surpasses class and cultural boundaries, as she has helped her daughters in overcoming the anti-immigrant prejudice they face at school. Her wisdom and warmth materialize at large, showing close approximation to the traditional American maternal ideal.
The story of the book takes place in San Francisco. The family involved originally originated from Norway before migrating to the United States in the 1900s. The family is struggling economically this is seen by the fact that the father is a carpenter and as a result the mother has to draft a budget of his weekly earnings and she creates a fictional account in a big bank in the city. Some of the main characters of the book include; the narrator Katrin who is the eldest daughter of the family she is aspiring to be a writer and does not give up easily despite being rejected by many authors till she is finally accepted, the narrators mother called Martha who is referred to as Mama she is the main character of the story she possesses great wisdom and through her the family survives many tribulations she is truthful and compassionate and will do anything for those she loves, the narrators father named Lars he is a hardworking carpenter and helps support the family, the narrators brother Nels hardworking and has great ambitions in life through education, the narrators sister Christine who is the second daughter after the narrator, the narrators youngest sister Dagmar who is sickly but after an operation she gets well, her mothers uncle Chris who is kind and thoughtful he is the one who takes Dagmar to hospital, her mothers aunt Elna, four of her mothers sisters Aunt Jenny who loves criticizing many, aunt Sigrid and aunt trina and lastlty their poor boarder, Mr. Jonathan Hyde who is rather learned but at the same time dishonest for he gives out a fake check to pay the family.
One very important chapter is the first where the narrator recalls about her family when she was a young girl on a street in San Francisco called Castro in the year 1920s. The members of this family include Mama, Papa, brother Nels, Sister Christine, littlest sister Dagmar, mama's Uncle Chris, and three Aunts. Every Saturday night Mama prepared a kind of family budget by separating Papa's wages to meet necessary expenses such as rent, food. As a result of this every week there is always just enough for the children so as not to dip into Mama's Bank Account. Mama always assured her children that she had a bank account at a big bank in town. This chapter is very important to the children as this greatly reassures the children especially during tough times. They get not to fear eviction as they witness other families in their neighborhood being evicted from their houses.
Another important chapter is the third chapter. In this chapter Dagmar is seen to have an earache, and though Mama tries her own homespun medicine the ache persists .The family doctor, Doctor Johnson, informs the family that the condition is very serious and that an operation must be performed. They have to go to go to the clinic hospital, because the hospital is very expensive. As Dagmar is being wheeled down the hall Mama Tries to go with her into the operating room, but she is stopped, because the hospital rules do not agree with this .the operation is performed by Dr. Johnson and come out to saying that Dagmar is doing fine. Mama is not satisfied and insists on seeing Dagmar because she fears that she will wake up in a strange environment and get scared. Mama is further reassured that the nurses are well trained ton handle such cases. She still goes ahead and asks the nurse for permission but is still denied she finally succeeds by disguising herself in order to reach her daughter and sings to her some lullaby's. This chapter shows the extent mama would go in order to care for her loved ones.
The book is a classic piece of art. It gives many lessons and shows the importance of women and their wisdom to the families' upbringing. It shows to what extent parents can go for the sake of their children. And finally it teaches us on how to counter discrimination in life from others. I would recommend this book to be read by children between the ages of 12 to 18 so us to improve their respect and live of their families.

Americans at the start of the 21st century find themselves confronting a series of compelling and important issues. Terrorism, the Iraq War, treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, global warming, economic turbulence, the battle over the right-to-bear arms, calls for election reform, abortion, gay marriage, and the current debate over the status of illegal & legal immigrants have all been at the forefront of recent American thought. While many Americans may disagree about how we should address these issues, many Americans do not realize that many of the questions that these topics evoke are not new. Throughout our history, Americans have confronted numerous challenges, and in doing so, they established precedent for how we view modern issues.
This course provides students with an opportunity to more fully comprehend current dilemmas by focusing on the history of the United States. We examine the political, economic, and social changes and developments that have shaped the United States throughout its history. Using a variety of reading assignments, writing assignments, and research projects, we reach a better understanding of where we are as a nation today. Prerequisite: Junior standing or sophomore with permission of instructor.
In accordance with American Psychological Association (APA) recommendation, this is a two-semester course. It exposes you to the science of psychology while developing a basic understanding of sensation, cognition, emotion, and behavior. You are invited to examine new ideas and hypotheses. Indeed, with a healthy dose of informed introspection, you may even begin to replace old habits, cognitive or behavioral, with new ones. There will be some hands-on activity, but the course is chiefly an exchange of information, some detective work, and a lot of analytical reading. An award-winning video series, Discovering Psychology, complements the text, and web-based resources provide opportunities for personal research. You should expect a blend of lectures, discussions, note-taking, oral reports, audio-visual presentations, unit quizzes,semester exams, and an APA-formatted capstone written project, a compilation of biweekly written research and reflection that relates to a common, pre-selected topic.
What began as a "radical" experiment in republican government almost two-and-a-half centuries ago has resulted in the world's most stable, free, and democratic society at the beginning of the 21st century. America's rise, however, did not happen overnight. While our core institutions remain the same as they were in 1789, American society has changed. A vast array of political, cultural, societal, and economic changes, to name only a few, is responsible for where we are as Americans today.

Additionally, students will express themselves more formally in writing and orally. Previous grammar topics may be studied in more depth and advanced structures will be introduced. Students will learn to draw information from authentic resources such as fictional and nonfictional texts, news and films to participate in interpersonal, interpretative, and presentational communication. Classes will be taught in Spanish.


Are you ready to venture into the unknown?
Cardamom Tented Camp is an ecolodge located in the Cardamom Mountains in Cambodia. Offering nine luxurious safari-style glamping tents, the lodge aims to minimize the human footprint on the natural world and serve as a role model in promoting sustainable ecotourism practices within both the national park and Cambodia as a whole.
With the tagline, 'Your Stay Keeps the Forest Standing,' Cardamom Tented Camp is a three-way initiative between The Minor Group, YAANA Ventures and Wildlife Alliance that offers eco-friendly packages to adventure enthusiasts keen to be a part of real conservation work.
The eco-camp is home to nine comfortable safari-style tents located inside Botum Sakor National Park that minimize the human footprint on the natural world and serve as a role model in promoting sustainable tourism practices in the park and within Cambodia as a whole.
Cambodia's vast forests and pristine natural resources are threatened by illegal logging, poaching and habitat destruction.
By adhering to sustainable tourism practices, Cardamom Tented Camp is making a stand against these destructive trends.
Our Trekker Package you will learn about Wildlife Alliance's operations and join a patrol with Wildlife Alliance Rangers trekking through dense jungle along abandoned poaching and logging trails. Visit the Rangers Station where the confiscated equipment of poachers – including traps and improvised hunting rifles – is on display. You'll be stunned by the diversity of flora and fauna in the park. Keep your eyes peeled for macaque, gibbon, hornbill and other rare wildlife. Guests can also kayak down the Preak Tachan River, or take one of the self-guided hikes along our carefully selected trails.
In addition to going on patrol with Wildlife Alliance Rangers, this Explorer Package provides you with a unique opportunity to explore the forest, mangrove and river areas on your own. You can go hiking, use our kayaks to paddle along the meandering waterways, or simply relax by the river on the camp's floating pontoon and soak up the magical atmosphere. Keep your binoculars handy for those delightful opportunities to observe rare birds and other wildlife. In the mornings and early evenings relax to the sounds of the echoing forest, such as the hauntingly beautiful whooping of the gibbons.
a pristine biodiversity comprising of gently sloping lowlands and coastal habitats that is home to some of the world's most endangered species.
Cardamom Tented Camp's objective is to support the conservation efforts of Wildlife Alliance in cooperation with the local community, enabling guests to participate in conservation-related activities that protect the evergreen forest and its animals.

How Certain Nutrients Affect Your Body!
Shelf corporations in the United States have many profound business purposes. They are frequently used for holding personal or business assets. Another common purpose for the creation of a shelf corporation is as a turn-key business package that can later be sold to someone who wants to start and operate a company without going through the effort to form a new one. Others might benefit who may not qualify for a bank loan, line of credit, or government contract because they or their existing company does not have the required credit scores or a two to five year established business history. By purchasing a shelf corporation, an entrepreneur now instantly owns an established company that has been "in business" for several years without debts or liabilities.
For Non-U.S. citizens, owning a shelf corporation in the United States may enhance privacy and open new markets. Since the United States is not a participant in the OECD Common Reporting Standards, it is often looked upon as a privacy haven for non-citizens looking to invest here. The Common Reporting Standard ("CRS"), was created by the OECD in 2014 pursuant to a meeting of the G-20 nations in Australia and calls for the automatic exchange of financial account information between agreeing jurisdictions. It should also be noted, however, that to open a bank account, Non-U.S. citizens will likely need to travel to the United States and meet with potential banks.
We recently came across this video and thought it something valuable to share with our readers. The mental approach to business is absolutely critical to success. and finding time to meditate has been a path many have taken to lessen daily stress.
The "Fake Presidents Scam"…It is Not Political!
1- The scammer identifies a multinational company and targets an individual at a subsidiary of the company who has access to company bank accounts. Often it might be a controller or accountant.
2- The target gets an email, a direct phone call, or both from someone claiming to be the chief executive officer or president of the parent corporation. If the target looks them up, the identifying information will be correct.
3- The scammer tells the target that the company is in the process of completing a large acquisition or similar deal that is not yet public knowledge and therefore highly confidential. The scammer also tells the target that he or she may not disclose the information to anyone, not even his or her supervisor.
4- The scammer tells the target that he or she needs "earnest" money, a first deposit, or even greater amounts to secure the deal, and that the target was chosen because of his or her ability to be discrete, and of course, his or her loyalty to the company. Most importantly, the scammer emphasizes that the transfer of money is all very urgent or the company's competitor may beat the company to the deal.
5- If flattery does not work, the caller/emailer becomes more challenging, and tells the target that if the deal falls through, it will be the target's fault. The scammer may even threaten the target's job.
6- The scammer then provides the bank details and the amount to transfer. The employee complies, and the money disappears.
The effects of proper nutrition on the body are profound. When paired with routine exercise, a diet that's rich in nutrients can lay the foundation for a long, healthy life.
Many people are aware that their bodies need nutrients like protein and carbohydrates every day, but they may not know just what these and other important nutrients do for their bodies.
The online medical resource WebMD notes that the body uses protein to build and repair tissues. An important component of every cell in the body, protein provides the body with amino acids that help cells in the body perform various functions. Breastcancer.org notes that proteins help the body create hormones and enzymes and keep the immune system healthy. A diet that's low in protein may make people more susceptible to illness and result in longer recovery times.
The Cleveland Clinic notes that carbohydrates, or "carbs," are the body's main source of energy. Carbs are found in most foods, but not all carbs are the same. Foods that contain complex carbohydrates, which include quinoa and oatmeal, are loaded with fiber. It takes awhile for the body to break that fiber down, helping people feel full and stabilizing their blood sugar levels. Simple carbohydrates, which include processed foods such as sugar-sweetened beverages and dairy desserts, are quickly digested, which raises blood sugar levels and contributes to feelings of inflammation.
The body is about 60 percent water, which performs a host of important functions. Water aids in digestion, absorption of nutrients and circulation, and also facilitates the transportation of nutrients through the body. Water also helps the body get rid of waste. WebMD notes that water also helps to energize muscles, which might suffer from fatigue if the body's fluid balance is not maintained. Water also helps the body maintain a healthy temperature.
People consume protein, carbs and water every day. And while they might not know it, people who continue to do so are helping their bodies perform essential functions that dramatically improve their health.
Mardi Gras & Hurricane Cocktails!
Mari Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday," also called Shrove Tuesday. During Lent, many Christians fast, and the name Fat Tuesday refers to the last day of eating richer foods before the leaner days of Lent begin. This year Mari Gras – most often associated with New Orleans – will be celebrated on Tuesday March 5th and it is fast approaching.
If you can't make it to the French Quarter to indulge in a hurricane or two this Mardi Gras, fear not. Hurricanes are a relatively simple concoction that amateur mixologists can whip up at home or wherever they're spending Mardi Gras this year.
According to Liquor.com, hurricanes can be traced to New Orleans tavern owner Pat O'Brien, who dreamt up the boozy concoction in the 1940s. Legend has it that O'Brien needed a way to offload the rum he was forced to purchase from local distributors. The now beloved concoction known as the hurricane, so called because it was initially served in hurricane lamp-shaped glasses, is now available at various establishments throughout the French Quarter. That includes Pat O'Brien's Bar, which has been open since 1933.
When celebrating Mardi Gras this year, this recipe for Hurricanes, courtesy of Liquor.com, can help you get in the spirit of this festive occasion.
Add all the ingredients to a shaker and fill with ice. Shake, and strain into a large Hurricane glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with an orange half-wheel and a cherry..
Thanks to the bevy of online booking sites just a few keystrokes away, many would-be vacationers have taken to planning their own vacations. But travel agents still provide valuable services that savvy travelers know can make the difference between an ordinary getaway and one travelers remember for the rest of their lives.
As tempted as travelers may be to book their own vacations, the following are a few of the many benefits of working with a travel agent when planning your next getaway.
· Experience: Many travelers want to explore foreign countries or cities they have never visited when going on vacation, and planning such excursions can be a daunting if not intimidating task. Many travel agents specialize in certain countries or regions of the world, and their experience can remove the stress and intimidation from planning an overseas adventure. Even travelers who are not leaving the country can benefit from the services of a travel agent who can share information gleaned from past clients about places to visit and places to avoid within a given city.
· Support: Travelers who book their own trips via online booking sites or other faceless agencies may have no one to look to for help should something go awry on their trip. But travel agents can be a go-to source should something go wrong with a reservation. Travel agents routinely work with hotel chains and touring groups, and they no doubt have already handled every type of problem travelers may encounter on their trips. That sense of support and security can help travelers rest easier should anything go wrong.
· Perks: Booking a trip yourself may seem like a great way to plan the most memorable vacation possible, but travel agents often have access to perks that travelers who go it alone are not privy to. Travel agents may be able to arrange for room or car rental upgrades at no additional cost or get their clients reservations at exclusive restaurants where travelers who go it alone will be shut out of. These perks can turn an ordinary trip into the best vacation of your life.
· Time: Planning your own vacation is a time-consuming process that can seem like a second job. If you want to go that route and still have a memorable vacation, you should expect to spend hours on end looking for the best deals and the must-see places to visit while simultaneously figuring out a plan to get from point A to point B to point C and so on. Travel agents plan such trips for a living and can speak to you about what you want out of a given trip before they spend the time necessary to tailor a getaway to suit your every need.
· Trends: Even if you do all of your own exhaustive research, travel agents will still likely know more about your potential destination than you will. That's because travel agents are plugged into the industry in ways that few, if any, outside the travel business can ever be plugged in. If you want a truly unique trip that's unlike any your friends or family members have ever taken, then lean on a travel agent who's in the know about the latest trendy hotels or luxury offerings at destinations across the globe.
Many people are tempted to plan and book their own vacations without ever consulting a travel agent. But travel agents are an invaluable resource for travelers who hope their next trip proves to be the vacation of a lifetime.

Q: How to find how many entries are within a specific time period I have this data (as been below), I was wondering how I can figure out how many entries are between 00:00:00-00:59:59, then in 01:00:00-1:59:59 etc. So the date isn't really considered, its just the time.
id  |  date
1   |  2018-11-08 01:40:49
2   |  2018-11-08 04:08:12
3   |  2018-11-25 15:19:44
4   |  2018-12-14 01:34:01

CSV Version:
id,date
1,2018-11-08 01:40:49
2,2018-11-08 04:08:12
3,2018-11-25 15:19:44
4,2018-12-14 01:34:01

So my expected data would be like:
Start Period  |  End Period  |  amount
00:00:00      |  00:59:59    |  0
01:00:00      |  01:59:59    |  2
02:00:00      |  02:59:59    |  0
03:00:00      |  03:59:59    |  0
04:00:00      |  04:59:59    |  1
05:00:00      |  05:59:59    |  0
...
And so on

CSV Version:
Start Period,End Period,amount
00:00:00,00:59:59,something here
00:01:00,01:59:59,something here
00:02:00,02:59:59,something here

A: You could also try the following sumproduct function with embedded hour functions:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(HOUR(date range)>=start period *24),--(HOUR(date range) < end period *24))

Make sure that you only select the date range and not the entire column.

A: If Date is in column B then put this under amount and fill down.,
=SUMPRODUCT(--(HOUR(B$2:INDEX(B:B,MATCH(1E+99,B:B)))=(ROW(1:1)-1)))

Il Partito Bielorusso della Sinistra "Un mondo giusto" (, ) è un partito politico bielorusso di sinistra fondato nel 1991 come successore del Partito Comunista della Bielorussia di epoca sovietica; inizialmente designato Partito Bielorusso dei Comunisti (Партыя камуністаў беларуская - ПКБ, Partyja kamunistaŭ belaruskaja - PKB), fu ridenominato nel 2009.

Il partito si oppone al regime di Aljaksandr Lukašėnka.

Storia
Fondato come Partito Bielorusso dei Comunisti (PСB) il 7 dicembre 1991 come successore legale del Partito Comunista della Bielorussia al potere, l'organizzazione originariamente emerse come uno dei principali partiti politici nella Bielorussia indipendente. Nelle elezioni parlamentari del 1995, le prime dopo l'indipendenza, il partito ottenne 43 seggi.

Con Lukashenko diventato presidente nel 1994, si verificò una divisione all'interno del PCB e nel 1996, la fazione pro-Lukashenko del partito si staccò e formò il Partito Comunista della Bielorussia.

Nelle elezioni parlamentari del 13-17 ottobre 2004, il partito non ottenne alcun seggio.

Il partito è stato bandito per sei mesi per irregolarità burocratiche il 2 agosto 2007.

Il partito è guidato da Sergey Kalyakin. Nel febbraio 2007, Kalyakin visitò gli Stati Uniti e incontrò entrambe le camere del Congresso degli Stati Uniti, funzionari del Dipartimento di Stato e rappresentanti di organizzazioni non governative per discutere i modi in cui gli Stati Uniti potevano influenzare i processi che si stavano svolgendo in Bielorussia. Inoltre, Kalyakin ha suggerito che gli Stati Uniti, l'Unione europea e la Russia cooperino per sviluppare una politica comune nei confronti della Bielorussia.

A partire da ottobre 2009, il partito è membro del Partito della Sinistra Europea.

Nel novembre 2009 il partito ha cambiato nome in Partito Bielorusso della Sinistra "Un Mondo Giusto"

3) implications of the above for action; and/or
4) an extensive book reviews section and also occasional reports on counseling and educational materials and equipment.
Submitted papers are evaluated by anonymous referees by double blind peer review for contribution, originality, relevance, and presentation. The Editor shall inform you the results of the review as soon as possible, hopefully in 2 weeks. Please notice that because of the great number of submissions that Indonesian Journal of Educational Counseling (IJEC) has received during the last few months the duration of the review process can be up to 3-4 months, with the following stages.
1) Submission of an original manuscript via electronic online submission;
2) Quick and holistic judgement by the IJEC Main Editors whether manuscript fits the Focus and Scope of the Journal and is comprehensible. If it does not, the Author will be notified with an e-mail of rejection;

4) Quick but more in-depth judgment and decision by the Managing Editors Team on whether the manuscript has to be rejected without sending it to the full scale peer review. The rejection should be based on being out of the Aims and Scope of the journal or on having unsalvageable problems with the quality of its argumentation, grounding, and/or research that would not promise an important contribution and productive dialogue in the educational counseling field (no revision is possible). If the Managing Editors disagree with each other or find the manuscript promising, the manuscript moves to the next step (2 weeks);
5) The Managing Editors Team selects 2 competent reviewers in the appropriate field in or out of the IJEC community and send them the manuscript aiming at 4-week review. If the invited reviewer do not accept the assigned job in a week or two, they have to be replaced with new reviewers. The reviewers provide recommendation to the editors, justifications, and suggestions (if appropriate) based on their own authorial judgment (4-6 weeks);
6) The Managing Editors Team makes their authorial decision informed by the Reviewers' Comments and their own authorial judgment: ("Decline Submission", "Resubmit for (new) Review", "(minor) Revision Required", or "Accept Submission (as it is)". If they cannot make the decision, the Editor-in-Chief is assigned to make it (or a Deputy of the Editor-in-Chief depending on circumstances) (1 week);
7) If the manuscript is sent back to the author(s) for major or minor revisions, and the author(s) decide to follow the recommendations and resubmit the revised manuscript, there is a 2-month deadline for resubmissions. If the revisions are not submitted within 2 months, the article will be automatically archived, unless there is a new deadline negotiated with the Managing Editors. In case the author(s) still wishes to pursue the publication in IJEC, they will be asked to create a completely new submission. In case the author(s) decide to withdraw the manuscript they should inform the Managing editors right away.
Submission evaluation criteria:
1) Value or usefulness to field or profession.
2) Adequacy of design/accuracy of analysis.

Dealing with lying is frustrating and confusing for many parents. Unfortunately, teens and pre-teens often lie or tell only part of the truth. James Lehman explains that kids lie for many reasons: to cover their tracks, to get out of something they don't want to do, and to fit in with their peers.
Sometimes kids tell white lies to protect other people. I've heard my stepson claim a "bad connection" while speaking to a relative on the phone, rather than simply telling them, "I don't want to talk right now." When asked, he says he doesn't want to hurt that person's feelings by saying he wanted to get off the phone. Simply put, it was just easier to lie.
Some teens develop the habit of telling half-truths or exaggerating about things that seem completely irrelevant or unnecessary. They might think it will get them what they want, or get them out of a sticky situation. Like many adults, kids can also be less than honest at times because they think the truth isn't interesting enough. They may lie as a way to get attention, to make themselves seem more powerful or attractive to others, to get sympathy or support, or because they lack problem-solving skills.
It's important to differentiate here between lies that cover up for drug use or other risky behavior, as opposed to "every day lies" that some teens tell just as a matter of habit or convenience. Make no mistake, lying that results in, or covers for, unsafe or illegal behavior must be addressed directly. If your child is lying about things that might be dangerous, involving drug or alcohol use, stealing, or other risky behavior, seek resources and support in your local community.
Why Doesn't My Child Care that Lying is Wrong?
Adolescence is such a tough time: trying to fit in, feeling unfairly judged or limited, wanting to be seen as powerful even while you feel completely powerless. Teens and pre-teens are navigating some pretty challenging waters. For some, lying can seem like an easy way to deal with the stress of being a teenager. According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychology, an occasional fib from a child is nothing to get too concerned about. Chronic dishonesty and exaggeration, on the other hand, should be addressed – but maybe not in the ways you think.
We talk with many people on the who feel that lying is a moral issue. But even so, as James advises, treating it that way is not likely to help solve the problem. When your child tells a lie, giving a lecture about why it's wrong is probably not going to help them change their behavior. Most of the time, they're tuning out our words of wisdom anyway! On the other hand, if you feel that your child is making a habit of lying, you need to acknowledge what you see happening. Open a discussion with them and find out what problem they are trying to solve. Are they trying to avoid trouble? Do they think it's easier to lie than to risk hurting someone else? Do they believe that saying something dishonest helps them fit in? When they answer you, listen to what they have to say carefully.
Now I realize you may not get a great answer from your child. From some teens, a shrug is the best response you can hope for. But by acknowledging the lie without moralizing or lecturing, you are sending a powerful message to your child that being dishonest won't get them what they want. You are also letting them know that you are aware of the fact that they were being less than truthful.
Kids often don't understand how hurtful lies can be. Still, you need to remind them that not knowing doesn't make it okay. Start a discussion with your child about honesty and dishonesty, and why they choose to lie. And remember, focus on the problem your child is trying to solve instead of on the morality of lying. You may not be able to stop your teen from creating those every day lies, but you can send the message that there are other options available.

Young and free gather to rejoice
By Caroline Marcus
January 27, 2008 — 11.00am
KEVIN RUDD called for all Australians to rejoice yesterday and we heeded his message.
Australia Day began with the Woggan-ma-gule morning ceremony in the Royal Botanic Gardens. Performed on the sacred land of the Gadigal people, the ceremony honours the past and celebrates the future.
Later, Australians rejoiced at events throughout Sydney. From the Ferrython and the tall ships race on the harbour to concerts in The Rocks and The Domain, fireworks and citizenship ceremonies across the city, it was a day of national pride.
Families flocked to Hyde Park for children's shows, casual cricket matches and barbecues.
Penrith woman Kayla Hoye has celebrated Australia Day in the park with her family all her life.
"We've been coming here for 19 years - ever since I was born," she said. "We get the same spot every year."
Cormac Smyth, 26, from Meadowbank, chose to celebrate with a British and an American friend, and his 15-week-old pug Podgy, who was attracting plenty of attention in her puppy-sized Wallabies jersey.
"It's about larrikinism," he said when asked what Australia Day meant to him. "And fireworks."
Catherine White brought her daughter, Emma, 3, to join other family members to celebrate being Australian.
