Your ATV represents a considerable recreation investment. And as you're riding, the last thing you'll want to wonder about is whether you have the right insurance coverage for liabilities or collision damage. With a customized All-Terrain Vehicle insurance policy you can ride with confidence knowing that you're properly insured.
Often ATV owners think their homeowners policy is enough coverage if they stay off the roads but that only covers what happens on your property. In addition to that, many State owned properties require full coverage when operating an All Terrain Vehicle on their land.
You will also need to protect yourself from theft or damage to your ATV when it is off your property and you are out enjoying a vacation trail riding.
You may also want to consider ATV uninsured coverage to protect yourself from injury or damage due to another ATV operator who was negligent and uninsured. When you look at ATV coverage vs. Florida car insurance coverage you realize that the protection needed is very similar.

Postcard from Zaharah: Heart to heart with Aleah
By Zaharah Othman
June 27, 2021 @ 12:05am
The late Professor John Somauroo (right), Aleah Mohammad (second from right) and other members of the screening team at the Liverpool Football Club.
IT was a heart-stopping moment for Aleah Mohammad, mother of three young children, when she saw Inter Milan star Christian Eriksen collapse during Denmark's Euro 2020 clash with Finland in Copenhagen two weeks ago.
Watching the game on television with her husband and children in her home in Liverpool, Aleah was hoping that the midfielder would get up and resume the match, but the drama on the pitch that was unfolding before her eyes and millions of football fans soon confirmed what Aleah had suspected.
As someone who had been studying cardiovascular physiology in elite footballers, Aleah had seen enough footage of sudden cardiac arrest on football pitches before, shown to her by her late supervisor Professor John Somauroo, a professor of Cardiology at Liverpool John Moore University where Aleah is doing her PhD.
"It's a rare case in athletes who have been screened, but the impact is huge. Just imagine those who had not undergone screening," she said.
Aleah was a sports therapist with the National Sports Institute in Malaysia before embarking on a journey that had taken her to meet some of the world's famous athletes and footballers in the United Kingdom.
She went to study at Liverpool John Moore University in late 2015 and counted herself lucky to have the late Professor Somauroo as her supervisor.
As a cardiac consultant with Liverpool Football Club and a member of the Football Associations' cardiac screening panel, he enrolled Aleah to assist him, starting with the women's team of the Liverpool Football Club.
In 2018, a video of Liverpool Football Club players having their cardiac screening went viral and the focus turned to an unnamed tudung-clad woman assisting in the procedure.
Thus began the hunt for the "Gadis Tudung Bawal" seen in the clip.
In the clip, Aleah was seen assisting a doctor do a screening on Joe Gomez with Nathaniel Clyne looking on.
Coincidentally, Aleah had, at the time, sent in an article to a local newspaper about sudden cardiac arrest on football pitches.
She soon had her moment of fame and became the envy of many Liverpool FC fans.
I was fortunate to see Aleah and her late professor at work at the Tom Reilly Building, which houses the Departments of Sports Science and Psychology of John Moore University, where screenings of the athletes were sometimes held. Unfortunately, it wasn't on a day where the likes of Liverpool legends such as Mo Salah or Sadio Mane were around.
"Professor Somauroo had enough trust in me to let me assist him in the screening and for that I am grateful, but he died last year after suffering from cancer," said Aleah who not only screened footballers but also rugby players, Olympian cyclists and water polo players.
The Liverpool players were all perfect gentlemen, said Aleah, adding they were very respectful and disciplined in their field.
"Although I was in awe of them, having seen them play on the fields, I had to be professional in my work.
"Salah was a little shy while Virgil van Dijk was friendly telling me about his injury during a game," she said.
Although she had not assisted in the screening of Fabrice Muamba who suffered a heart attack while playing in 2012, he told her about the incident which resulted in his loss of memory for three months.
Aleah couldn't stress enough the importance of cardiac screening for athletes.
The football association in England made cardiac screening for all professional players mandatory since 1997, followed by the Union of European Football associations in 2006, the Federation International Football Association in 2007 and Qatar FA in 2011.
Having studied players from various ethnic backgrounds, Aleah felt it was most important that screenings be done on Asian players too.
"I would love to be able to share my experience and knowledge when I come home," said the Mara-sponsored student whose studies and research so far had been dealt a blow due to the pandemic.
However, she is positive that she will be able to complete her studies soon.

French designer: I am inspired by Vietnamese people, country
Designer Thierry Vincienne.
VietNamNet Bridge – Thierry Vincienne decided to head for Asia while having a large number of customers in France and other European countries. He has finally settled down in Vietnam for the last 12 years.
The French designer called Vietnam his second homeland which in his words "is far away from where he was born but not very unfamiliar." After 12 years of living in Vietnam, his feelings are still as same as what he found when he first arrived even though the Vietnamese language is still something of a struggle for him.
Since 2002, Thierry has been working as the main designer for the famous fashion brand name NEM – NEW. He was in charge of designing for movie stars, MCs of the weather forecast programme on VTV, the state owned television station as well as in many other TV shows.
After 12 years of living in Vietnam Thierry has a long story about his life here, which he shared with the press.
France has been a well known country in the fashion industry, so why did you decided to choose Vietnam as a place to settle down? Why did you to move to HCM City after more than 10 years of living and working in Hanoi?
Indeed the French fashion industry has a good reputation in the world, and I can not deny that I have been influenced by the renowned French designer Karl Lagerfeld (who designs for Coco Channel). However I chose Vietnam as a place to settle down as here I found the peace for my life. Also the people and the country have inspired me to create many fashion collections.
I am very proud of the fact that I have heard of, and "fallen in love with Vietnam" since I was in school nearly half a century ago. More importantly I want to bring to Vietnam, the country which I adore, the knowledge that I have learned about fashion.
I first graduated with a degree in medical study. After that I worked in the marine force. Leaving the army I decided to pursue fashion designing study. I had been working in the industry for quite a long time before coming here. I moved to Ho Chi Minh City as NEM NEW just started another branch in the city two years ago. My life in this city is not much different from what I did while in Hanoi. With a pencil and some papers, everyday I go to very popular places like small teashops at some corners to find the ideas and then to draw.
Are those places where you find the ideas for your collections?
The ideas are not simply about designs but also about the colours, materials and other things that go with the designs like shoes, belts, etc. I have found that, many people here don't correctly understand the job of a fashion designer and the job therefore is not yet a popular one. In my opinion a professional designer has to travel, observe and then they will find ideas for their works.
Personally I really like the red colour of the Literature Temple in Hanoi and the yellow colour of Thai pagodas. I do think that, some ideas should always be fleshed out by a professional designer, so that new collections would take shape wherever he or she goes to.
It is said that your designs are usually very simple but so elegant, following that style, do you aim at customers who are upper class?
Many people said that my designs are very European but in fact they are the mixture of European and Asian style. A lot of my designs have been inspired by the beauty of Ao yem (the northern Vietnamese traditional costume for women), Hanbok (Korean traditional dress), or Kimono. The mixture somehow has made up my style.
I am planning to start my own company called Lady France, which will gather the experienced fashion designers, workaholics in the fashion industry who will follow the motto "Customers are Kings". We hope to provide products which are of European standards but for Asian women in general and Vietnamese women in particular. These products will be sold for reasonable prices, but have high quality. We do think that all women have the rights to make themselves more beautiful.
What do you think about Ao dai (Vietnamese traditional dress)? Do you think that one day your name – A French designer's name would be attached with Ao dai?
I was strongly impressed by Ao dai since I first saw it. I think the most beautiful Vietnamese traditional dress is the Ao dai, and it will always be like that. Some Vietnamese customers have asked me to design Ao dai for them. However I don't think that I should break into something so traditional.
Modifying the design of Ao dai should be applied to changing colours and marterials, while the design of the traditional dress should remain. Ao dai itself is already very beautiful. I love the attractions and the elegance of such a dress.

Language, leadership hinder Vietnamese storm recovery
by Greg LaRose
Quang Nguyen, who runs a group of financial service businesses in Gretna, said Vietnamese often shun mainstream businesses due to language and custom barriers. (Photo by Frank Aymami)
Editor's note: This is the finale of a three-part series on the recovery of the Vietnamese business community after Hurricane Katrina.Short of running his own bank, Quang Nguyen offers just about every financial service a customer could need.
His modest storefront on Lafayette Street in Gretna offers insurance, mortgages, accounting and title services — even bail bonds.
Nguyen's business is a testament to his entrepreneurial vision. It also reflects the lack of access to mainstream financial services for Vietnamese Americans. Nguyen said most of his business comes from Vietnamese, who often shun traditional avenues for conducting business due to the language barrier.
"Vietnamese tend to be very conservative, very private people," he said. "They prefer to deal with Vietnamese businesses when they can because there is an understanding of that background."
Barriers to the Vietnamese community's progress go beyond language. Nonprofit Asian-American contingencies from around the country converged on New Orleans to assist Vietnamese residents after Katrina hit Aug. 29, 2005. The chief obstacle was the lack of assistance infrastructure to help set the community back on its feet.
"It's not Los Angeles where you've got hundreds of community-based service organizations and chambers of commerce … that speak a multitude of languages and have relationships with government entities and foundations," said Lisa Hasegawa, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development.
Hasegawa said New Orleans, like other city and state governments, does not grasp the needs and inner workings of the Asian population, especially the Vietnamese who have only been in Louisiana for roughly 30 years. "Language is just part of it," she said. "They shouldn't just be meeting folks in the state or city government and learning about small business assistance programs for the first time after a disaster."
Aaron Troung, owner of EZ Laundromat, needed help when he tried to resurrect his business in eastern New Orleans. He had evacuated to Houston with relatives and recalls Mayor C. Ray Nagin visiting Texas in September 2005 to urge displaced residents to return.
"I came back in November and didn't have electricity or running water," said Troung.
The Mary Queen of Vietnam Community Development Corp. helped Troung and other Asian-American businesses after the storm. The first priority for the nonprofit business arm of the Catholic parish in Village de L'est was assisting residents and business owners with cleanup.
May T. Nguyen, CDC business development director, said grant funding was crucial for business owners, especially those who lived at their work place with their families.
Hasegawa's group and the National Alliance of Vietnamese American Service Agencies based in Silver Spring, Md., worked with Mary Queen of Vietnam CDC to access outside assistance.
"We're working to make sure they have access to the wealth of experience that other Asian-American communities have in this arena," said Hasegawa. "… We had no relationships with folks in New Orleans or in the South prior to Katrina."
NAVASA's Dân Thân Corps diverted its efforts toward storm recovery last year. Its goal is to place and develop leaders among the next generation, said Phuong Do, project director.
She said Vietnamese people usually turn to the groups that assisted them as refugees in times of crisis and those group leaders have not evolved with the community since the 1970s. NAVASA research shows more than two-thirds of the leadership of Vietnamese organizations in the United States are older than 60.
"There's always been this gap of leadership skills within the community," Do said. "… The intention of the program is to bring in young people to fill in these gaps."
Dân Thân Corps fellows helped Mary Queen of Vietnam secure nearly 200 trailer homes for residents.
The Katrina recovery has been at the forefront of the White House Initiative on Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders. Jimmy Lee, appointed AAPI executive director in January, toured damaged areas on the Gulf Coast earlier this year and said cultural boundaries prevented some Vietnamese from receiving help.
"Asians are always relatively proud people," he said. "Because they don't have language capabilities, they just didn't want to ask for assistance and so they decided they would just try to figure this thing out for themselves."
To gain insight on disaster recovery, Lee said AAIP consulted with Korean business owners affected by the 1992 Los Angeles riots following the Rodney King verdict. Their main recommendation was the creation of a revolving loan fund for Asian-American businesses to be used following major catastrophes.•

From Fish Sauce to Salsa — New Orleans Vietnamese Adapt to Influx of Latinos
New America Media, News Feature, Sara Catania, Oct 16, 2006
Editor's Note: After Hurricane Katrina, the Latino population in New Orleans grew as other ethnic populations shrank in size. Remaining members of a close-knit Vietnamese community are learning to navigate cultural and linguistic differences with their new Latino neighbors — even if it means stocking tortillas next to rice paper in local markets.
NEW ORLEANS–Taqueria Mexico used to be a thriving Vietnamese restaurant called Bien Tinh, or Ocean Love. Now under new ownership, its waitresses serve salsa in the floral faux-china bowls that once held fish sauce.
"A lot is different now," says Hai Pham, who sold Bien Tinh to a Mexican-American family from Houston. Pham's was one of dozens of Vietnamese restaurants that after Hurricane Katrina were struggling to survive with far fewer customers. Now, whenever Pham stops by Taqueria Mexico, the place is bustling, the customers nearly all Latino. "They are the first restaurant around here to serve Mexican food and they do a good business," Pham says. "I am happy for them."
Vietnamese-Americans recovering from Katrina are grappling with a double challenge: the absence of friends and family who moved away after the storm and the appearance of a record number of Latinos in their previously autonomous community.
A state survey released this month counts nearly 7,000 Asians in New Orleans post-Katrina, compared with close to 12,000 in 2004. Latinos are the only ethnic group in the city whose numbers have grown, from about 14,000 to more than 16,000, according to the survey, conducted in February by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals and the Louisiana Recovery Authority. "We have seen Hispanics in areas of the city where we have never seen them before," says Martin O. Gutierrez, director of immigration and refugee services for Catholic Charities in the city. "This is a very new phenomenon in New Orleans."
The change is particularly noticeable in the neighborhood that Taqueria Mexico now calls home. Though most locals call the area Village de L'est, for its location in the eastern part of the city, some still refer to it as Versailles, after the government-subsidized housing complex that was home to many Vietnamese refugees when they first arrived in New Orleans in the 1970s and '80s. Back then, the refugees were the newcomers in the largely African-American community. In subsequent decades the Vietnamese-American population in the Gulf Coast area grew to between 25,000 and 40,000 residents.
Those who remained in Village de L'est created what is widely regarded as the region's Vietnamese-American hub, opening more than 50 businesses and building Mary Queen of Vietnam, the first Catholic Church in the nation to offer mass in Vietnamese.
After Katrina, the Vietnamese-American residents of Village de L'est were among the first return to New Orleans and begin gutting and rebuilding their homes. Construction workers from across the United States and Latin America descended upon the community, and the local businesses lining Chef Menteur Highway and Alcee Fortier Boulevard quickly began to adapt their products and services.
At the Mi-Viet market, rice papers now share shelf space with tortillas, tall bottles of Fresca line the cold case next to bubble tea, and plastic-wrapped pork chops are identified both as "bo-chuk tender" and "chuleta de cerdo." A separate counter handles wire remittances to Latin America. Across the street at the Tien Pharmacy, owner John Nguyen recently added a payment service for cell phone bills. "It brings in new customers," Nguyen says.
Martin Osorio saw opportunity as well. His family owns Taco Texas, a catering company in Houston that operates several loncheras, or lunch trucks. The trucks soon became a fixture in Village de L'est. Then one afternoon, as Osorio's father was having lunch at Bien Tinh, Pham approached him and offered to sell him the restaurant.
"We thought he was kidding," Martin Osorio recalled. But Pham was dead serious. Since the hurricane his wife had been running the restaurant alone while he'd been focusing on their downtown convenience store. "I felt it was not safe for her to be there by herself for so many hours," Pham says. "We couldn't find anybody to work there with her."
The Osorios imported the taqueria's nine-member Spanish-speaking work force from Houston. Even with a sizeable staff, Osorio works nonstop, rising at 4 a.m. and closing the doors at 8 p.m. Every two weeks he takes a quick trip back to Houston to see his wife, 3-year-old daughter and 2-month-old son.
Osorio says for the most part he has feels welcome in Village de L'est. In two months he's had only one difficult encounter, when he sat down at a nearby Vietnamese restaurant for lunch and waited nearly an hour without being acknowledged. Finally he got up to leave and asked the proprietor for the key to the restroom. She refused, telling him the bathroom was out of order. He bristled. "I'd seen people going in and out of there the whole time," he says. "I told her I have a right to use the bathroom and if you refuse to let me, I can sue you." The woman relented and gave him the key.
May Thi Nguyen, business development director for the community development corporation created after the hurricane, is hoping to transform the commercial stretches of Village de L'est into an ethno-centric tourist destination. She has spent hours talking with the small business owners, many of them older Vietnamese- Americans who are struggling to adjust to their new neighbors. "It's a huge shock here," Nguyen says. "Everyone's kind of taken aback. A lot of Vietnamese-Americans in this community have never left the area. It is very much a Vietnamese-American community."
Nguyen, who has lived and worked in Argentina and Vietnam and is fluent in Vietnamese, English and Spanish, says she is unsure how Latinos would fit into the commercial development goals for the area. "We're talking about a marketing scheme where we're going to set up three flags out in the median: an American flag, a flag of the old Republic of Vietnam and a Louisiana flag," Nguyen says. "I don't know where the Mexican flag fits into that."
Martin Gutierrez of Catholic Charities says increased diversity will only enrich the area. "It's going to create great opportunities. There will be some friction, but at the same time we all believe diversity is a strength."
Nguyen acknowledged that Latinos have invigorated Village de L'est, both economically and culturally. She has witnessed this dynamic in a market owned by her aunt. "My aunt is learning Spanish," Nguyen says. "She's learning how to say hello, how to tell customers how much something costs. It's wild. I love it. It's exciting."
After talking with some of the Latino workers, Nguyen is taking a wait-and-see approach. "A lot of these changes are happening in response to the construction workers," she says. "Some will leave. Will enough stay to make these changes permanent? Who knows?"
A study released in June by U.C. Berkeley and Tulane University found that about half the Latinos who moved to the region for work plan to stay, and there are indicators in Village de L'est that some are beginning to settle in. Word has spread quickly about Nguyen's tri-lingualism, and the neighborhood's new Spanish-speaking residents have begun seeking her out for advice. "They've been asking me where to send their kids to school and things like that," she says. "They've pretty much ID'd me as that Asian girl in the community who can talk to them."
At Mary Queen of Vietnam, Spanish-speaking workers have begun showing up for Sunday mass, even though services are conducted entirely in Vietnamese. "They know exactly what is going on," says Fr. Vien The Nguyen, pastor of the church. "It was the same for us when we came here from Vietnam. Mass was in English, but it was still a Catholic mass and we understood. That's the nature of a parish church. It's always open. Anyone can come in."
On a recent weekday afternoon at Taqueria Mexico, six small video monitors and one large-screen television competed with the stereo mariachis for the attention of diners in paint-splattered boots and baseball caps. Daniel Jeronimo, who arrived in New Orleans from Veracruz by way of Chicago six months ago, had just finished his first morning's work in Village de L'est and was looking forward to lunch. "I saw this place and I came right over," he said. "I can look at the menu here and everything is familiar to me."
That is exactly what Martin Osorio likes to hear. The Taqueria has been so successful he's considering expanding. "Right now we're thinking about desserts and candies," he says. Eventually he'd like to open a pool hall nearby.
If he does, he may find his customer base exceeding his target audience. "I would get so bored if all I did was hang out at the Vietnamese bars," May Thi Nguyen says. "Hanging out at the Taqueria is a lot more exciting."
Vietnam to legalise limited betting
Posted on 20 October 2006 – 07:47
Bets on foreign soccer matches will become legal next year in betting-crazy Vietnam, where a multi-million dollar gambling ring in a state agency led to the resignation of a cabinet minister in April. Newspapers quoted the Sports Minister on Friday as saying the National Sports Committee was seeking government approval to establish a joint venture with a foreign bookmaker to provide betting services on international soccer games.
The communist-run Southeast Asian country prohibits all forms of gambling, but illegal betting on soccer matches in England, Italy, Spain and other countries is very popular.
Officials have estimated around $1 billion is transmitted illegally every year for soccer betting.
Earlier this year, police arrested the boss of a state-owned road-building agency for running a gambling ring that bet $7 million of state money on football matches.
The Transport Minister resigned in April to take responsibility for the scandal, which led to new promises by the ruling Communist Party to fight corruption.
National Assembly lawmakers debated legalising football betting this week to meet strong public demand, but the proposal limits the amount of each bet to between 10 000 and 30 000 dong (less than US$2), officials said.
"The amount will not hurt people's income, but be enough to entertain them," Sports Minister Nguyen Danh Thai was quoted as saying in the VNExpress on-line newspaper .
Thai said the joint venture would invest around $70 million and that five foreign sports bookmakers, including a British firm, had shown interest in the project.
Initially, bets would be allowed only on overseas games and not the domestic Vietnam league, he said.

5 Winners from the 2012 Pentagon Budget
As the Pentagon scales back its funding ambitionsasking for $13 billion less in 2012 than they plannedsome aviation programs are seeing influxes of cash. The list includes some of the most used, vital equipment in the U.S. inventory.
By Joe Pappalardo
FA-18 Super Hornets
The budget asks for 28 E/F models of this naval aircraft, valued at $2.6 billion.
AH-64D Apache
The budget allocates $816 million to upgrade 19 of these attack helicopters, which face hard steady use in Iraq and Afghanistan. The budget also calls for the purchase of 75 extra UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters.
EA-18G Growler
These airplanes serve as vital collectors of signals intelligence and, when facing better equipped enemies than the Taliban, can disrupt anti-aircraft defenses; $1.1 billion buys a dozen configured for "electronic warfare."
V-22 Osprey
Who's laughing now? The Pentagon is spending $3 billion on 36 additional much-maligned tilt-rotor aircraft.
RQ-4 Global Hawk
The Air Force is seeking $1.6 billion to buy these high altitude unmanned aircraft, used for surveillance missions over hotspots around the world. The USAF and Army are also asking for more drones, some armed, to the tune of $2.5 billion.

Sweden presents Fia Backström and Andreas Eriksson.
Fia Backström and Andreas Eriksson are two of the most interesting and prominent Swedish artists of their generation. Both operate on a conceptual basis, while each engages in different methods and media, resulting in divergent projects. The works of both artists relate to Venice and the Biennale. Fia Backström's work will be tied to the structure of national representation within the Venice Biennale. Andreas Eriksson's work relates to the Nordic Pavilion, which plays with the notion of indoors and outdoors, nature and architecture, with its two glass walls and trees growing indoors.
Fia Backström and Andreas Eriksson, 2011.
Fia Backström's work for the Nordic pavilion is constructed around a series of dialogues. For her project, Backström will focus on the Biennale structure of nations as fenced singularities. Backström will renegotiate the terms of national representation and territoriality present in the Giardini.
Backström will engage her international network in conversations, including the artists of certain pavilions, to locate traditional, national bronze statues of ordinary men or women, whose iconography create nation "narratives" and senses of identity. These conversations will begin with people connected to the given country. The collected data will crystallise in a final decision, together with the artists who represent the specific national pavilion, to choose the representative bronze.
Backström's work takes on a diagnostic and propositional engagement with the construction of social agency. Backström's employment of display mechanisms provokes the interrelations between pedagogical methods, modes of corporate address, and political rhetoric.
For the exhibition, a surrogate for each chosen sculpture will be produced as a digital reproduction printed onto a metal cut-out. These works will elicit the trope of the participatory cut-out found in tourist locations and entertainment parks. Metallic information placards will accompany each cut-out. The placement of each sculpture will be decided by a negotiation with the artists in proximity to their pavilion. Guided tours and audio guides will be available at a specified information hub where additional material will be on display. These guides will suggest connections between the sculptures and the social processes that generated the work.
Three trees grow inside the Nordic Pavilion, their trunks going straight through openings in the roof, and two of the pavilion walls consist mainly of glass, evoking a playful interaction between outside and inside in the architecture, a facet that Andreas Eriksson captures in his prospective presentation of paintings and sculptures. His tall paintings of tree trunks, measuring nearly four metres, which will be exhibited in the Nordic Pavilion in Venice, are imbued with seductive beauty and ambiguous metaphors. Many paintings have the qualities of windows with reflections of light, looking out to a rather abstract nature.
Three low, wide platforms on the floor in the middle of the room serve as plinths for the sculptures, bronze casts of birds that were killed when they crashed into his studio windows, confused by the reflections in the glass, which they mistook for real nature. Other sculptures are casts of mole hills from the artist's garden.
Although there are connections to the architecture of Nordic Pavilions and the garden outside, Andreas Eriksson's art is also strongly linked to the place where it is created. His studio near his home in Medelplana near Hällekis is beautifully situated by lake Vänern in Sweden. Despite his relation to the countryside surrounding his home and studio, he can hardly be regarded as a landscape painter in the traditional sense, but is an exceedingly contemporary artist, with a conceptual approach. The process of arriving at a method and a theme for a group of works is just as important as the finished result.
Shadow Paintings is a series of paintings with a format resembling standard house windows. They are grey, with the silhouette of human figures appearing as dark shadows that seem to bleed through the grey paint, which is also how they were made. Titles such as Car Passing at 20:03 on the 10th of November 2003 reveal something about the subject matter; a car passing swiftly along the road outside, for a short moment throwing shadows on the inside wall. The brief shadows were photographed and in many ways the paintings share the qualities of photographs.
The partnership between the three nations sharing the Nordic Pavilion in Venice – Sweden, Finland and Norway – will try a new concept for the next three biennials. The previous requirement that all three countries should be represented by artists will be set aside to enable solo exhibitions. Sweden, which is responsible for the Nordic Pavilion in 2011, will thus be presenting two separate projects by artists Fia Backström and Andreas Eriksson.
The Nordic Pavilion is supported by The Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation and Dataton.
Under Venedigbiennalen 2011 representeras den Nordiska Paviljongen av Sverige som presenterar Fia Backström och Andreas Eriksson.

Accounting firms have been plagued by reputational issues ever since the collapse of Arthur Andersen in 2002. Fast forward nearly two decades, and the focus has turned to what audit firms are doing to polish their tarnished images.
The facts surrounding Arthur Andersen—the poster child of accounting firm failures—are well known: In June 2002, Arthur Andersen was convicted of obstructing a federal investigation for destroying numerous documents relating to the audit of its client, Enron, a now-defunct U.S. energy-trading and utilities company, notorious for perpetuating one of the biggest accounting frauds in history. Although the Supreme Court reversed Arthur Andersen's conviction, the damage had already been done, leading to its ultimate demise.

Death in Pisa: The Camposanto Sarcophagi
Posted on May 2, 2014 March 19, 2021 by Martin Cooney, Stone Sculptor
Part 11, Death in Pisa – The Camposanto Sarcophagi
In my previous post I showcased the gravestones of Pisa's Camposanto, in Part Two I turn the spotlight onto the huge stone coffins lining the walls. But whereas the gravestones reflect entirely Christian values and notions of death this time around it is time to turn our attention to the sarcophagi. These huge hollowed out stone boxes reflect even more ancient Roman notions on the subject, and perhaps not surprisingly we see a similar outlook on the matter – namely that death is quite definitely not the end of life but merely the beginning of the next chapter, a notion shared it must be said by the majority of religions across the globe.
But there the similarities end. For the Christians of the Middle Ages their destination was a heaven clearly defined and mapped out by the clergy (they hoped – not the equally graphically depicted Hell, as I suspect a great many of them feared). The Romans simply seem to be stepping into an idealized version of the same indulged and privileged lives they lived right down here on Earth, complete with all the trappings – for privileged and indulged indeed were. Oddly enough in Part 3 we'll actually see such earthly and materialistic values revisited in the funerary statuary created by Victorians when the rigidity of the church doctrine gave way to quite flamboyant notions of an eternal bliss rather more attuned to Roman ideals than those of strict medieval church dogma.
So, come along with me on a tour of my favorite Camposito sarcophagi sculpture as we meet the ancestors and try to imagine just what was on their mind as they designed the vessels that were to carry them across the river and into their preordained afterlife. As with the gravestones a great deal can be ascertained about these people by close examination of the very subject matter with which they made their one last statement to a world they were about to depart.
But finally before we begin our tour I'd like to draw attention to the sheer technical difficulty, not to mention grueling work, carried out by the artists and craftsmen who hollowed out and carved these huge slabs of stone. Even today such a feat represents a colossal amount of work, and whether the inside or outside is carved first there is always the lingering fear of a catastrophic crack appearing to destroy the project during the final stages. The cracks you do see are almost certainly the result of damage caused during the fire that raged during World War 2, or simply due to mischief or weather during the almost two thousand years they have been vulnerable to such mishaps. But whatever condition they are in now you can be sure they were flawless the day their occupants were placed within a shrine entirely devoted to themselves, their lives and the importance of their social position, secure in the knowledge that they were indeed about to embark on a journey to an afterlife suitably befitting and worthy of such nobility. And unlike their Christian successors no day of judgment was about to spoil the party.
Let's take a moment to expand on that last point with the aide of a few photos, as mentioned, even with the arsenal of tools available to the modern stone carver hollowing out a bowl of such proportion represents an epic task, but even discounting the physical aspect of the work there is the inherent danger involved with carving into such relatively thin walls – too much force with a single blow could prove disastrous – or, if the equation is reversed, a little too much zeal in the hollowing out process and all the time spent sculpting the intricate and deep bas relief covering the outside will have been for naught. I have grappled with the same problem while carving Mystique Masque, which although a great deal smaller than these giant containers nonetheless possessed wafer thin margins with no room for error whatsoever.
To me its fascinating to see the tool marks covering the inside that I know were made from a tool we call a punch and is often still the most effective way to remove, or 'waste' stone even today. But there can be no doubt that the same men who hollowed out such a gigantic block of stone had little or nothing to do with carving the sculpture – these days we, or at least I, tend to do everything from start to finish, but the elaborate and sophisticated carving seen on the outside of the sarcophagi was most certainly by the hand of master carvers. And given the sophistication of the work, not to mention the prestige and importance of the commission, no doubt these were sculptors at the very top of their profession.
So, let's take a look around. Here are a general sampling of sarcophagi (…love that word by the way) that immediately caught my attention, followed by a closer inspection of a few pieces that I found particularly impressive… quite fascinating in fact.
To begin with, take a look at this pattern, its a theme repeated over and over. Slightly hypnotic isn't it
It seems to represent the actual passage from this world into the next, like a curtain or an ethereal haze. Some have doorways in the middle, many don't, but clearly these wavy lines are meant to infer a transition beyond and through the boundaries and limits of our earthly minds.
As I've mentioned previously there was much indication of the damage inflicted by the Allied bombing but this has me quite baffled – it speaks more of a concerted attempt to gain entry than destruction caused by a fire – you can even see the telltale signs of the point of the punch used to pry this piece out.
But to finish the tour I want to introduce these two characters. I'd noticed them on my first lap of the Camposanto and returned for one last look just moments before I was about to leave. I was immediately impressed and moved by the proximity of the couple, very intimate in fact… positioned nestled in towards each other in the most tender fashion. Of course their features have been obliterated and I suspect this was a result of the intense heat brought about by the fire, but the body language spoke volumes to me and even though all traces of facial expression were gone I was taken by the fact that this, above all else… above the grandeur of political statement, of taught buttocks and fearsome barbarians, of military prowess, of might and wealth… this tender, loving embrace was the lasting, nay eternal, statement these two people chose to leave behind as their lives drew to a close.
But tender as this scene appeared the full force of the sculptural statement suddenly hit me when I noticed the woman's arm tenderly curled around her husband's shoulder. I've no idea who these people were, what their lives were like, but a more fitting epitaph for true and undying love I think I shall never see.

Nahajec v Fowle is the first reported case since the Ilott v Mitson judgment earlier this year and has, perhaps unsurprisingly, a very similar outcome.
In this case, the daughter had been estranged from her father for many years due to her choice of partner. Miss Nahajec lived indistressed financial circumstances and the deceased made no provision for the daughter, leaving the entirety of his estate to a non-family beneficiary.
In Nahajec, the estate was relatively modest, at around £265,000. Of the three children, two made claims. One was settled for £22,000.
Adult children do not have any automatic right to inherit from their parents estates and so, Miss Nahajec was required to prove that her father's will did not make reasonable provision for her maintenance.
Adult children are unlikely to have successful claims if they are of sufficient means however, that is not to say that poor financial circumstances is the only factor in a successful claim. This is because the Court could determine that a "reasonable provision" could be nothing taking all the other factors into account.
Miss Nahajec's evidence of her financial needs and resources was that she worked part-time, averaging 23 hours per week as a retail assistant (on a zero hours contract) and 9 hours per week at a veterinary clinic. She also worked a further 10-15 hours per week at the veterinary clinic because she wanted to train as a veterinary nurse. She had a significant amount of debt as a result of having been diagnosed with cancer (which was in remission by the time of the trial).
In contrast to Miss Nahajec, the sole beneficiary, a Mr Fowle, earned approximately £2,000 per month running a plastering company. Mr Fowle's finances were complicated because it appeared he continuously mixed his own personal money with that of the company. He had also spent £13,000 on his wedding and £18,000 on two Rolex watches, after he was aware of Miss Nahajec's claim.
After hearing Miss Nahajec's evidence and that of her brother Scott (who was the only child not making a claim), the Judge found that the estrangement between Miss Nahajec and the deceased was the deceased's own doing. Miss Nahajec had made attempts to reconnect with her father after her mother died in 2007, and they stayed in some contact for nearly 3 years. However, the communications stopped and Miss Nahejec's further attempts to reconnect with her father were rebuffed by him. This gave the Judge the discretion to challenge the contents of the Will. It had been clear by the Deceased's letter of wishes that he had thought about his children when making his will and chose not to make provision for them but this was only a "factor to go into balance" and Miss Nahajec could not be said to be of "sufficiently independent means".
The Judge concluded that the Will did not make reasonable provision for Miss Nahajec and awarded her £30,000 which would enable her to pay off some of her debts and pursue training as a veterinary nurse.
These types of cases tell us that although a parent may not wish to make any provision for their child or children, a letter of wishes is just one of many factors to be taken into account by a Court when deciding what provision, if any, should have been made for an adult child and cannot displace the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.

Q: How to get the text from soup.find_all() method in beautiful soup python3? I want to retrieve all <p> tags and then text from them in one string.
      Problem 1. While running this code, it is giving all the tags too.
      Problem 2. If I use loop for printing the con, it gives multiple strings. It will be clumsy if I append it again in one string.
So, How to get the text from the below code in short lines of code?
import re
import urllib.request
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

requ = urllib.request.Request("http://www.chowrangi.pk/10-reasons-gender-equality-not-exist.html", headers={'User-Agent': 'Chrome/51.0.2704.103'})
htmll = urllib.request.urlopen(requ).read()
soupi = BeautifulSoup(htmll,"html.parser")

Con= soupi.findAll("p")
print(Con)

#  for con in soup.findAll("p"):
#       print("Paragraph :" ,con.text)

A: Just use a list comp and str.join to create one single string:
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser")

Con = "".join([p.text for p in soup.find_all("p")])
print(Con)

Which gives you:
Women want equality, but they do not want to let go of their privileges. Women want freedom, but they do not want accountability. Women want to be liberated, but they do not want responsibility.Below are 15 reasons which shows how equality is only applicable when it works for women. Otherwise, women would be protesting against the following in order to achieve equality. It shows their hypocrisy and double standards. 1. Lifeboats are reserved for women.2. The media only focuses on women's issues.3. World's most dangerous jobs are worked by men.4. Seats are reserved for women on public transport.5. News channels announce deaths of 'women' and children.6. Juries discriminate against men in domestic violence disputes.7. Women have special quotas in the parliament, companies, and colleges.8. Women receive lighter sentences for the same crimes committed by men.9. Child custody is given to women is divorce courts, in the majority of cases.10. Men have to earn for women, but women are not under any obligation to earn for men.11. Domestic violence and dowry are seen as women's issues, while men are the prime victims.12. Men give women child support and alimony, not the other way around. Men are ripped off their life savings.13. Men are used as ATMs. Women always marry men who are richer, earn more, 'well-settled', and better educated.14. Men die on jobs daily. 95% of work related deaths are of men, but that is neither an issue, not something that women and children are grateful for. 15. Draconian laws where women can land men behind bars with little evidence if any, giving a rise to false cases of dowry, rape, and domestic abuse. Police readily believe women, even though they lie more. Subscribe to our e-mail newsletter to receive updates.When blacks were forcrd to leave seats for whites, we called it slavery. When men are told to leave seats for women, we call it politeness! Why don't women leave their seats for men?You need to add that women are released first in hostage situations, most teachers hired in schools are women, there is open discriminatory behaviour of teachers against boys in schools. men have to propose to women, women hitting men is socially acceptable, men make up the majority of homeless, war casualties, unemployed, suicides, compulsory conscription ….All the double standards are set by women.A man exposing in public = pervert

flown the coop
Posted on September 26, 2013 by Laura M Gibson
Around 7:20 each morning in the yard behind ours, a very vocal hen lays an egg. This hen's egg-laying aria (a reenactment here) is followed by irritable complaining about the state of things, and then, since I can't see her, what I can only assume is some active scratching and feeding. Her sisters lay eggs much later in the morning, usually together, making their own duet. To be fair, if I had to expel an object that size every day, I'd have a thing or two to say about it, too.
I'm comforted by these new birds, and by how many folks in our neighborhood have chickens. For now, listening from my yard is as close as I'm going to get to owning birds myself. We're renting a house. Zora is allowed here, but nothing else. The lease agreement expressly forbids chickens, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, mice, and any sort of reptile. This list is followed by two exclamation points, which seems like a clause written for a bygone willful renter!! Also in the lease is language about how I won't do any yard maintenance, and that feels almost weirder than no chicken wrangling.
Hopefully, this limboed state of alert is temporary !!
Before we knew we were moving, we'd gotten new chicks, Ameraucana babies – Artemis and Athena, named by Riley. I'd gotten them so we could diversify the flock and have green-blue eggs. We brought them home in March, a cold one this year. Because I was having problems moderating the temperature in their cage in the garage, the goddesses lived inside.
Chickens inside your house is a disgusting business. Sure, Artemis and Athena were cute. Sure, it was entertaining and unnerving watching the dog drool with longing, hanging her head over the side of the galvanized tub, quivering. Sure, waking to the sounds of those little peeps from the breakfast nook (yes, they were near the kitchen, which is really, really disgusting), drinking coffee while listening to them practice being big birds wasn't a bad way to start the day.
Sure. They were cute and we held them and talked baby talk to them and told them how great their lives on our farm would be. But chickens are filthy. About week three the stink kicked in. They shat in their food, in their water, on each other. They scratched and made dust and filled their water dish with fecaled shavings. Despite our efforts to keep the place clean, the dust from their quarters filtered into the house, as did the relentless scratching sound. Artemis and Athena got older and smellier and the world outside got warmer, so we moved them to the garage to finish being babies before we introduced them to the big girls.
Giving the goddesses away was one of the first things we did when we decided to move. They were high maintenance, they didn't lay eggs and wouldn't for several months. I wasn't so attached I was sentimental yet, so they went to live a few streets over with some friends of ours who'd just started their own chicken operation and had room for a few more.
The big girls – Ginger, Marianne, and Rainer (Mrs. Howell was a man. We swapped her for Rainier)—were a different story. My first bird children, I'd raised them up from babies, trained them to come when I whistled the opening bars of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, benefitted from years of delicious eggs.
Also, I couldn't get out of my head a scene like something from the Beverly Hillbillies, our truck piled high and the chickens in a wire cage on top of a jalopied heap, their feathers trailing in the wind behind us.
Also, there was that business of the no pets !! in our lease agreement.
It was harder than it would seem to find homes for them, what with their "advanced" age. No one wanted new-to-them chickens who were probably going to stop laying within the year, even if they were gorgeous and tame and cleverly named. In the end, Riley's soccer coach Brett, who owns land and has twenty or so chickens already, agreed to take them.
We drove the girls out to Brett's property a few weeks before we left. He was ready for us, a separate cage set up near the main coop.
"I'll toss them in tonight with the rest of the girls," he said. "Works every time. They'll wake up tomorrow and the others will be like, 'Hey. How's it going?' and that will be that."
Inside a huge chicken run, his birds – five or six breeds altogether—were gathered around cantaloupe and watermelon halves, clucking and gorging themselves. Brett had built the coop, his own design, also large and set up so his kids could easily gather eggs and clean it. The place was like Club Med for chickens.
His four-year-old daughter Shey led me over to the chicken graveyard under a stand of cedars. "This is our pet cemetery," she said. "Rosy the cat is here, too." Several rocks brightly painted were scattered on top of the needles there. "Also Blacky, Whitey, and Socks."
"Cats?" I asked.
She shook her head. "Hamsters."
She gave me a tour through each stone and what was buried under it, and then skipped off to play with Riley on the tire swing.
We have a pet graveyard at our house where we'd buried a gecko, some goldfish, a dead wren we found on the deck, and a frog Riley found in the mailbox that she petted too much. They're buried there for closure's sake, because it mattered to our kids, and because we couldn't eat any of them.
But chickens are different, I think. Their presence in our lives had been about more than love and nurturing. Having them was symbiotic – I did a good job and they did too. Our house wasn't a chicken pleasure cruise. When the girls stopped laying, our plan was to harvest them and make soup stock, a reminder for our whole family about not wasting resources and knowing how to do things for ourselves.
Still, I was charmed by Brett's kids, four girls, who were fully involved in caring for their animals. He never gathered eggs, the two younger ones did that. His elder two did all the feeding and cleaning the coop. The birds also came out to "play." They sometimes wore doll clothes and went to the front of the property on leashes. Another look inside the coop revealed a chicken-sized rocking chair, filthy with chicken poop, and a window with gingham curtains.
When I asked Brett about it, he shrugged and said, "It's more a petting zoo than a farm." He rubbed at his beard and looked over at the girls swinging. "There's a lot of…uh…estrogen out here. "
For Brett's family, I guess that graveyard makes sense. My bird girls will have a nice retirement at his estrogen ranch before they join the others under the cedars. No soup pot for them.
Birdless for now, I guess it makes sense to scratch off the chicken wrangling headline on this blog. I'll have to live vicariously through my neighbors' birds and the yards they tend themselves.
Hopefully, it's only for a little while. !!

found books
Spring was full of reading disappointments. Either the book I chose had a stupid plot. Or characters I couldn't access. Mystifying edits. Writing that made me feel I wasn't in very capable authorial hands. By May I had begun to despair. I used to read every book to the bitter end, the least I felt I could do to honor a writer's hard-won journey to publication. I don't do that anymore – there's too much great literature to read, too many bad books out there, and too little time. Now I give a narrative 50 pages, and if it's not working for me, I put it down.
It's possible my problem this spring was mostly reader error, what with packing and being distracted, but I don't think so. Summer's surprising, random, unexpected reading list broke several months of stories that failed to delight. One thing I love best about these reads is the way they came to me.
From the "Take Me" shelf at the coffee shop:
While I waited for my latte at the coffee shop, I looked through the "TAKE ME" bookshelf and found a tome about two centuries of opportunists exploiting the natural resources of the Channel Islands off the coast of California. The promise of a couple generations of depletion from sheep ranching, a shipwreck that introduced rats to Anacapa, and one very passionate National Park Service conservationist Alma Takesue from the 21st century who wants to eradicate the rats on Anacapa to save a species of shore bird, made me take the novel home. Always rich and believable, Boyle's female characters tussle with the natural world and with their lovers. Boyle is masterful at storytelling with a wide lens on generations and place, but he's also good at the intimate landscaping that captures the dark forest, as Willa Cather calls it, of the human heart. And while When the Killing's Done is far from one of Boyle's best works – even full as it is of shipwrecks, the sticky wicket of conserving species and how conservation is inextricably linked with destruction, and a very one-dimensional PETA-esque bad guy called Dave LaJoy who gets what's coming to him on the heels of an act of revenge – in all ways that mattered most to me this summer, it was the perfect read at the right time because I was transported out of my world.
From a rusty wheelbarrow selling used books at a garden shop:
I had T.C. on the brain already. In the city on my way somewhere else, I walked by a garden shop wheelbarrow and out of the corner of my eye caught the name Boyle. For $2 (sorry, T.C.), I picked up Boyle's San Miguel, set again in the Channel Islands. It's another sheep island story, on a different island this time, and most of it set in the 19th century. But in both When the Killing's Done and San Miguel (published less than a year apart), Boyle is scratching an itch about generations of people discovering, exploiting, preserving, and resurrecting the natural resources of the Channel Islands, and the human drama behind such ambitions. Both books are gritty romances, rife with relationships built upon punishment and power, lust and willful misunderstanding. He's fantastic at this emotional geography, map-making a world of tortured souls who often don't know what they want, or worse, they do know, and their sometimes terrible desires become the gears of the story. I get it. An island is an interesting Petri dish for storytelling, with an ecosystem you can manipulate and experiment with, not to mention the outside world sailing over to disrupt the narrative.
I couldn't put it down, because how could you not careen off the tracks with such characters as these?
From a pile of books a friend gave me:
Alan Bradley's The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. This book had been on my bookshelf for several months, and I'd purposefully avoided it because of the cover, spring green with a bird and stamp on it that screamed of some saccharine story about women finding epistolary love. While packing, I left out books from my collection that seemed like good summer reads. Most of them were mysteries. Another look at the synopsis of Bradley's book piqued my interest, so it made the cut. It took me almost the whole first book to realize that though Bradley's narrator is a precocious, naughty and very determined eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce, the book isn't really Young Adult, though on the surface it seems to be. I liked the book so well I did a quick search to see what else Bradley has written and was gifted with the knowledge that there are FIVE Flavia de Luce books. Oh boy.
I checked out the next three from the library, in LARGE PRINT, because those were the only versions they had. And I was desperate. In each of the books, set in the 1950s English countryside, Flavia works to solve a murder. A crackpot chemist with her own chemistry lab in the abandoned wing of their ancestral English home, Flavia comes at problem-solving through science; in fact, a reader can learn a thing or two about chemistry from her. But some of the best scenes are born out of the passages where we see Flavia acting as a child – mourning the death of her mother, plotting revenge against her two older sisters, looking for a way to talk with her father, who is wracked by grief and who deals with the imminent crisis of bankruptcy by losing himself in his stamp collecting. The cast of characters flanking Flavia is, of course, also delicious – Dogger, her father's valet, gardener, butler, and right-hand man, and also Flavia's closest ally; Inspector Hewitt and his wife Antigone, whom Flavia half longs to be adopted by; her bike, Gladys, which used to be her mother's and which ferries her to crime scenes and various investigations; and in each book, the characters who come through to people the world of the crime. It's delicious fiction – witty, smart, backlit by clever capers for which you can suspend disbelief — and the first time I've fallen for any books from the mystery section.
Bradley's got another installment in the wings, Book Six, due out January 2014, and I'll wait, mostly patiently, to continue the saga.
Also, there's going to be a television series. Oh dear. Mixed feelings.
In the mail from a friend, because she knows I adore him:
Kent Haruf's Benediction. A master at impaling his characters on the prongs of their foibles and choices, Haruf's stories teem with regret and redemption. His characters labor under the aftermath of failing to act, or emotionally sealing themselves against the world, and the reckoning that comes as a result of hiding from themselves.
His latest, Benediction, is again set in Holt, Colorado. It's more ambitious in some ways than his previous novels, in that it braids the lives of five or six sets of characters. At the center of the narrative are Reverend Lyle, a newcomer from Denver who's been transferred to Holt for some transgression we can only guess at, and Dad Lewis, dying of cancer, owner of the town's hardware store, father of two children — one estranged son and one daughter who's come back to care for him as he's dying. Writers are generally advised not to scaffold a story around cancer, a character dying from cancer, so I was skeptical such a seasoned writer would take this plunge. But the presence of Lyle, a man of God, works to offset Dad's life of harsh mistakes and complicates one of Haruf's central questions about what it means to live an upright life.
Readers know, of course, that Dad Lewis is going to die from cancer. Haruf establishes this on the first page. We know his wife Mary is there to take care of him, that he's agitated by regret. While he waits to die, we see Dad's life in flashback, which is to say we are transported to times for which Dad feels he must make amends – the firing of an employee and that man's ultimate suicide, the way Dad alienated his son Frank. The big question pulling a reader through the narrative is whether and how Dad's going to see Frank again before he dies. Except through morphined hallucinations, he never does see his son again, which is inevitable and heartbreaking and earned. Dad's absentee and sometimes harsh parenting and his tender care of others instead of his own family have brought him to this place of being alienated from his son, and it hurts like hell.
Readers also know that Reverend Lyle will do something to alter his path — he must have agency where Dad can only recollect his version of it from his deathbed, after all – but we don't understand why Lyle doesn't have a better relationship with his son, and what makes him fall away from the church, though it seems admirable enough after a life of passivity. Still, I'm not sure he's working to his potential as a character.
The heart of the story, then, is the disconnect between fathers and sons, the bond between mothers and daughters (Haruf has an affinity for stoic women; Benediction is rich in pairs of two generations of women holding what crumbles together), and the way, as in all of Haruf's work, people quilt family out of the dust of loss and need.
I'll forgive Haruf for the left turn at the end and its half-hitched deus ex machina with Alice and her bike, since I can see he was grappling with how to deliver the point home. I was already crying my eyes out about Dad's death, about Reverend Lyle's inability to make a relationship with his son, even there in that dark garage.
We have to work for grace however we can, but there's never enough time, which I guess is largely the point.

Alumni Profile- Beth Myers
Who says you can't go home? Coming back to Chatfield as a staff member after graduating a few years prior felt like coming home to Beth Myers. Working as an admissions counselor at the Brown County campus, Beth has a unique perspective to share with students—because she's been in their shoes.
Beth first attended Chatfield College as a College Credit Plus (CCP) student when she was a junior at Lynchburg High School. While given many choices to attend college for free while in high school courtesy of the CCP program, Beth knew she would choose Chatfield. She had also heard from a friend that Chatfield credits transferred easily to four-year colleges, and since Beth planned to continue her education, this was important to her. Aside from this, Beth had another reason for picking Chatfield.
"I had aunts, cousins, even sisters who had gone to Chatfield and loved it," Beth said. "It's kind of our family college."
As a student at Chatfield, Beth excelled in her classes. She was inducted in both the Julia Chatfield Honor Society, an honors organization exclusive to Chatfield, and the national Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. She even credits an English course at Chatfield that helped shape her future career plans of becoming a professor in the Communications field. In fact, one of her instructors also encouraged her to investigate Berea College for her four-year degree, because of its unique, tuition-free appeal and superb academics. Having already earned free college credit, and because financing college was important to Beth, she decided she would attend Berea after graduation. Just a week before graduating from her high school, Beth walked across the stage of Chatfield College's graduation.
Looking forward to earning her bachelor's degree, Beth said that the rigorous academic work at Chatfield prepared her to move on, and her writing alone was a step above her peers when she arrived at Berea. Unlike most students who had just graduated from high school, Beth already knew how life in college worked. She had mastered time management skills, the drive to complete her tasks on time, and knew how to make her own schedule. At Berea, Beth worked as a residential advisor and helped plan events at her dorm. Performing as a top student once again, she was also inducted into the Lambda Pi Eta Honor Society for Communication majors.
Graduating from Berea in 2018 with her Bachelor of Arts degree, Beth moved back home and worked a summer internship at American Modern Insurance. She knew she wanted to do something in education but wasn't quite sure what that might be. Soon after, Beth stumbled upon a job opening in the admissions department at Chatfield College and immediately knew that was the position for her.
"I always knew I wanted to come back to Chatfield. I planned to come back to teach but starting in this position seemed like the perfect place to begin," Beth said.
Beth was hired just three years after being a student herself. Beth says that Chatfield still has the community feel she loved as a student, but she's just on the other side of the coin. As a student, she always felt supported and encouraged, but she never realized everything that goes on behind the scenes in order to provide that support. Aside from her admissions job, Beth has also helped start a drama club for the students, because she knows how important it is to have other extra-curricular activities on campus to really help enrich the experience.
"I love walking out of my office and seeing students hanging out in the Welcome Center, because I can still see myself there. I feel like having been a student just like them, I have a unique position to really help guide the students and understand their needs, "Beth shares.
Looking back on her experience now, Beth is thankful for her experience as a CCP student at Chatfield. This start eventually led her to Berea, and ultimately brought her back to Chatfield.
"I value the impact Chatfield made on my life and education, and it makes me excited to be in a position to help other students pursue their dreams, too."

Sen. Elizabeth Warren Announces Presidential Bid, Says "It's Time To Fight Back"

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren formally declared today that she's running for president, capping a months-long buildup that included DNA testing, online video experiments and much debate.
Warren made her announcement at a rally in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and will then barnstorm, visiting New Hampshire, Iowa and four other states. The Lawrence site was chosen because of its connection to a successful labor strike started by women, hitting on themes Warren will emphasize in her campaign.
She faces an uphill battle. Her DNA testing that proved she had minuscule Native American heritage was once believed to be a fatal blow to her presidential ambitions, and the issue refuses to die. Just this week, a handwritten registration for the Texas bar surfaced, listing her heritage as "American Indian."
Warren was also mocked for an online video that showed her sipping a beer with her husband in her home kitchen, an attempt to humanize that fell flat. She was also lampooned on notoriously liberal Saturday Night Live in a Weekend Update sketch.
Warren's speech in Lawrence focused on the middle class, claiming the economy favors wealthy donors.
"Today, millions and millions and millions of American families are also struggling to survive in a system that has been rigged by the wealthy and the well-connected," Warren said. "Like the women of Lawrence, we are here to say enough is enough!"
She added later, "When I talk about this, some rich guys scream 'class warfare! Well, let me tell you something, these same rich guys have been waging class warfare against hard- working people for decades – I say it's time to fight back!"
Warren proposed a tax hike on the wealthy, which she called the "Ultra-Millionaire Tax."
Warren received two endorsements Saturday, being supported by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III of Massachusetts, who also introduced her at the rally.
