Winners are often made through persistence; the recipient of the 2010 STGC-OBA $1500 scholarship award proved just that. Not being undaunted by the prior year's result, Ms. Melanie Chin stuck in there and was recognized as this year's winner from a respectably qualified group of applicants.
Currently pursuing Communication Studies with the Management Option at the Wilfred Laurier University with the eventual aim of Corporate Law, Melanie continues to strive for academic excellence while demonstrating selfless leadership skills in the broader social world of volunteerism. Among her accomplishments are traveling to the Dominican Republic as a D.R.E.A.M.S. (Dominican Republic Education and Medical Service) ambassador and organizer assisting with housing and school building, receiving the Lieutenant-Governor Award for volunteerism, and the creator of Dancers for Cancer, a charity dance show in Georgetown, ON, raising more than $30,000 over two years toward the fight against cancer.
Congratulations, Melanie, on a job well done. No doubt you will continue to make an impression wherever you go.
Our thanks to the independent selection panel of Drs Louis Lee, Derrick Haddad and Herbert Ho Ping Kong on their valued contribution in choosing each year's winner.
It was a wonderful bright, sunny day; the Cathedral was in splendid shape and colors as the morning sun glimmered through the windows and open doors and the students all 1200 of them filed into the pews.
Mass was short and sweet. But it was the singing that was moving, reminding me of those days when 300 boys filled the Cathedral with their voices.
After Mass the students with the Band marched via South Camp Rd. then North Street (giving KC students a disturbing moment) and up the school entrance ending in front of the O'Hare. The cheer leaders then gave a superlative demonstration of their dancing. Thereafter it was checking out the class displays in separate tents and the usual clamouring for drinks and food. Soon after it was assembly time in the auditorium where the principal gave a short speech thanking all the past headmasters, and presenting a gift to Mr Van Hitchner the only one present.
I really was happy I went and enjoyed the day immensely. I was really impressed with the turnout of students and how well the event was organised.
Sorry for those who missed it.
Editor's Note: Our thanks to Lloyd for capturing this event in word and pictures and allowing us to share the experience with our readers.
My congratulations to the members of the new executive of the chapter. Thanks to both the outgoing executive and new members for being such a wonderful example of service to others. On a point of interest, Milton Hart and my husband started at St. George's College in the same year so I know (bias admitted) that he will do great things.
As we approach the end of the academic year, we thank God for all His blessings despite the challenges that we have faced. This week we had our final assembly; a Thanksgiving Service, before the start of final examinations. We are now preparing for graduation when Fred Kennedy will return to us for an afternoon, to deliver the graduation address to a group of young men that he ushered into first form five years ago.
You would no doubt have heard of our most recent challenge, when our CXC students were displaced as a result of violence in West Kingston. We were hosted at Ardenne High School for one week. The experience while difficult, reminded us of the best of St. George's when teachers and parents sacrificed time, talent and treasure to provide for the welfare of the students. Parents and teachers contributed daily for lunch for students in need, teachers intervened swiftly to ensure that all students from the area were safe, and one parent housed students from the affected area for the week to ensure that they were able to safely sit their examinations. The week was a study in the compassion of members of the school community and the extent to which we are a community that concerns itself with others.
We had a break-in at the College during the week of disruption but through the help and support of many of you and with special thanks to Carl Chang, we were able to resume school with minimal inconvenience the following week.
On a happier note, our teachers have jumped on board in assisting with the improvement of the campus. Mathematics teacher Alphonso Christie took on a project in the lower school area to create a Sacred Heart Garden. It is now a beautiful green and peaceful space. We also have a fabulously redecorated Supervisors' office thanks to First Form Supervisor and English teacher Stacey Wilson-Reynolds, an impressively refurbished Religious Education foyer thanks to R.E. H.O.D. Eugenie Ffrench and a striking new podium courtesy of Orville Jamieson H.O.D. of Industrial Arts.
These are exciting times for the College when members of the school community are working together in love of God and others. How could we do otherwise than to declare the year a successful one, where we have risen to the challenge of producing excellence for the greater glory of God.

The actor talks about making the jump from 'Banshee' to Marvel.
Plus, more on his next show for Cinemax, 'Warrior', which is about the Tong Wars in 1870s Chinatown in San Francisco.
The actress also speaks about whether or not fans of the show will find closure with the end, and her feelings about where Carrie ends up as the series ends.
'Banshee's final season airs Friday nights at 10pm on Cinemax.
Still no word yet though on when we can expect to see the series.
The actor also talked about the original plans for his character, and what relationships are most important to Brock as the series comes to an end.
The series is both the same and very changed -- both should be good news for fans.
Also, new trailers were released for 'Kill Your Friends', 'The Purge: Election Year', and 'Fear the Walking Dead'.
The wait is not long now, Fanshees.

Meralco installs new power switch at NAIA
Power Philippines News
The Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) will install on Wednesday a remote control switch for its main substation in the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (NAIA T3) to prevent another power outage.
In a statement, The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) said Meralco will make the installation from 12:01 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. today. Operations will be done with the NAIA T3 Engineering.
"As a result, NAIA T3 will be running on temporary power which shall supply all critical facilities of the Terminal to ensure continuous flight operations," MIAA said.
In April, NAIA 3 had a five-hour power outage from 8:45 p.m. to 2 a.m, causing 82 domestic flights to be cancelled and delayed four international flights. One of the 10 generators was found in poor condition and was declared the reason behind the brownout.
Meralco is also looking at installing remote control switches in the NAIA terminals 1 and 2 but said it would have to be approved by the Energy Regulatory Commission.

Insurers require homeowners to brace for disaster
Companies' requirements go beyond local ordinances
H.P. McQueen The Wall Street Journal
As natural disasters threaten to drive up property losses in many parts of the country, insurers increasingly are requiring homeowners to better protect their houses as a condition of staying insured.
These moves reflect efforts by the insurance industry, including Allstate Corp. and State Farm Insurance Cos., to place more responsibility on homeowners to reduce the risk of loss when disasters occur. In many Western states, where wildfires are a growing menace, some homeowners are being required to clear brush over large areas around their houses, or even to install a new fire-resistant roof. In hurricane prone areas of Eastern and Gulf states, some insurers are requiring that certain properties have storm-resistant window shutters in order to be insured.
Some insurers are enforcing the rules with stepped up inspections, either in person or by using satellite images such as Google Earth. Homeowners typically are given some time to fix any problems, after which they face losing their insurance when the term is up.
"Insurers are becoming more aggressive about inspecting homes before insuring them and making recommendations to the policyholder about what they can do to reduce the likelihood of certain types of loss," says Robert Hartwig, president of the Insurance Information Institute, an industry-sponsored research group.
CONSUMERS COMPLAIN
But some consumer groups and politicians complain that the new disaster-mitigation rules place too great a financial burden on some homeowners, especially requirements for retrofits like shutters, which can cost about $6,000 for a modest-size house. Stricter enforcement also comes at a time when the property-insurance industry has recorded three consecutive years of record profits.
At least one state has pushed back. Connecticut last month enacted a law that bars insurers from requiring permanent shutters as a condition of insuring property in the state, although the companies can require that homeowners put up cheaper, temporary plywood shutters when storms threaten.
To be sure, it's generally a good idea for homeowners to make their houses safer from disasters. Even if you carry insurance, hurricanes and wildfires can destroy irreplaceable belongings and cause financial distress and even loss of life. What's more, some homeowners who might not be required by their insurer to take extra precautions often can get a discount on their insurance if they do.
The U.S. government recently predicted that seven to 10 hurricanes, including several major ones, would hit Eastern coasts this hurricane season, which began June 1. That's more than in an average season, and follows a relatively tame hurricane period last year. Meanwhile, prolonged droughts in the West and elsewhere are sparking numerous wildfires, including one recently in central Los Angeles.
Tracy L. Butler, a 44-year-old Realtor in Oakland, Calif., where wildfires destroyed thousands of homes in 1991, says she received notice a few months ago that Allstate was dropping her policy at the end of her annual term because her property hadn't been properly cleared of overgrowth. Butler says Allstate had checked the property just before she prepared for the city's own fire-safety inspection, required by local law. After a new inspection, Allstate reinstated her policy, she says.
BEYOND ORDINANCES
Some companies' requirements go well beyond local ordinances, prompting a growing number of complaints from homeowners in wildfire areas, according to the California state insurance department. But the practice is legal in that state. State Farm says it often requires homeowners in California to clear brush within 300 feet of buildings, exceeding the 100 feet often required by local codes.
State Farm, which began inspecting homes in California, Arizona and a few other states in 2003, recently expanded the program to five additional states, including Montana and Oregon. Its agents look for dead vegetation and debris or fuel stored near the home, flammable roofing and other hazards. Homes that aren't considered fire-safe get 18 to 29 months to have the necessary changes made. If they aren't, State Farm may drop the policies, but a spokesman says the bulk of homeowners thus far have complied with insurer recommendations and kept their coverage.
SAFETY CHECKS
Allstate in December began inspecting homes of new customers in several wildfire-prone states, including Colorado and Washington, and in California when existing policies come up for renewal. And Fireman's Fund Insurance Co., which has long inspected many of the high-end homes it insures, recently began using satellite imaging to carry out some of its inspections, as well as on-site reviews.
David Wessman, 47, says he got notice from his insurer a couple of years ago that the company would drop him unless he replaced the wood-shingle roof on his home in Northern California with a fire-resistant one, a job he figures would have cost about $12,000. "We had just spent several thousand dollars to treat the roof (with fire retardant), and they refused to accept it," says Wessman, a computer-game designer. Wessman instead found coverage with another insurer.
HURRICANE CHECKS
Meanwhile, in hurricane-prone areas in the East, some insurers are requiring that houses be equipped to withstand heavy winds. The Florida legislature recently passed a bill requiring many homes valued at $750,000 or more to have permanent storm shutters within two years as a condition of receiving a policy from Citizens Property Insurance Corp., the state-run insurer that covers a majority of homes in Florida. The bill is awaiting the governor's signature. And Privilege Underwriters Inc., a new insurer that covers high-end homes in the state, says it refuses to accept any property that isn't built to 2001 state building codes for high-wind resistance.
The moves come as many insurers try to reduce their loss-exposure in disaster-prone areas. Allstate, for example, announced last month it would not write any new homeowner policies in California, citing risk of earthquakes and wildfires. Many insurers also have withdrawn from coastal states since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Some insurers offer discounts to offset the cost of disaster-mitigation measures. In Florida, a new law gives many homeowners who install shutters as much as $1,000 off their annual premium with Citizens Property, which charges policyholders on average about $2,600. In many wildfire areas, Allstate offers discounts of 5 percent off premiums if you have a fire-resistant roof.

Slanted & Enchanted
FORMAT Vinyl LP CD
Vinyl LP CD
Listening to Slanted & Enchanted is like listening to a college radio station that you can barely tune in -- melodies are interrupted by shards of white noise, only to have a simple hook pull everything back into focus. On their first full-length album, Pavement constructed a cycle of gleeful guitar noise punctuated by fragments of melody floating in and out of the chaos. Aesthetically, the thin, noisy low-fidelity production is appealing and uncompromising, but what makes Slanted & Enchanted remarkable is the songwriting. Instead of disguising an underdeveloped sense of songcraft, the production embellishes and subverts the band's gift for unusual, catchy hooks. Surrounded by fuzzy, noisy guitars, white noise, and Stephen Malkmus' languid vocals, the pure pop melodies of "Trigger Cut" and "Summer Babe" sound foreign, but the production gives context to the gorgeous melancholy of "Here" and the brooding "In the Mouth a Desert." Some listeners may initially find the lo-fi sound of the record inaccessible, but the sheer strength of Pavement's songs settles in after a few plays. - allmusic

The Cleveland Browns are loaded with assets to solve the quarterback situation this off-season.
The organization possesses roughly $118 million in salary cap space as well as five choices in the first two rounds of the 2018 NFL Draft. Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski took a crack at predicting where some of the most heavily discussed quarterbacks will land.
"They could take multiple approaches, but the Browns would be wise to find a veteran, draft the top available prospect with the No. 1 overall pick and continue to develop Kizer. Considering the team's laughably awful history, every lead needs to be pursued," Sobleski said.
After the addition of General Manager John Dorsey, it would make sense for quarterback Alex Smith to end up in Cleveland. There are a few hurdles to clear before than can become a reality.
"First, the Kansas City Chiefs must move on from the 33-year-old. The decision seems like an easy one since Smith is on the books for a $20.6 million cap hit next season. The team could save $17 million by releasing him, and 2017 first-round pick Patrick Mahomes is waiting in the wings.
As noted, Dorsey acquired Smith from the San Francisco 49ers after becoming the General Manager of the Chiefs in 2013.
The former No. 1 overall selection has completed 1,587-of-2,436 passes for 17,608 yards, 102 touchdowns and 33 touchdowns during his five seasons with Kansas City; the best five years of his career. He has thrown double-digit interceptions in just four of his 12 seasons. It has not happened since the 2010 season.
Conversely, rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer has thrown 21 interceptions this season. The circumstances are a little different but Smith has thrown more than 12 interceptions over the course of a season just once. During the 2006 campaign, his second season, he threw 16 interceptions.
Chiefs Kingdom is clearly excited about both the present and the future. While we're all in an extra celebratory mood this holiday season due to the newly punch playoff ticket for the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, questions are also being asked about whether or not Chiefs fans will see their quarterback of the future anytime soon.
Now that the Chiefs have a playoff spot locked up, Andy Reid was noncommittal as to whether or not he would be resting the Chiefs starters as they travel to Mile High to play the Denver Broncos in Week 17. With nothing to play for besides individual stats, Reid is likely to at least give a few players a break. Will one of those be starting quarterback Alex Smith?
If Smith is given a break, Patrick Mahomes could be given his first professional reps at the NFL level. For those fans who've been waiting to see the Chiefs first round pick, Week 17 could provide an exciting glimpse into the future.
Smith was asked about the potential of Mahomes playing on Sunday and whether or not he would be ready to play. Being mentally ready after a full season in the playbook is only one part of the equation, Smith said.
Vice President Mike Pence says he left Sunday's 49ers-Colts game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis because of protesting that took place during the national anthem.
For the second week in a row, the 49ers had more than 20 players kneeling during the national anthem with their hands over their hearts. Teammates stood behind the kneeling players with one hand on a kneeling teammate's shoulder and the other over their hearts.
The Colts wore black T-shirts with the words "We Will" on the front and "Stand for equality, justice, unity, respect, dialogue, opportunity" on the back for the wholesale nfl authentic jerseys second straight week. The players stood with their arms locked during the anthem.
Pence tweeted a statement in which he said he would not dignify any event that disrespects soldiers, the flag or the anthem.
On Sunday afternoon, President Donald Trump said he had asked Pence to leave the game if any players knelt during the anthem.
A former governor of Indiana, Pence had been in Indianapolis as part of the celebration of Peyton Manning and his jersey retirement and induction into the Colts' Ring of Honor during Sunday's game.
Pence had tweeted a photo of him and his wife, Karen Pence, saying they were looking forward to cheering for the Colts and honoring Manning. But the Indianapolis Star noted that the photo appeared to be from 2014.
The photo the vice president tweeted showed him wearing a Colts polo shirt. He was photographed wearing a suit during the national anthem Sunday.
The NFL and the Colts declined to comment on Pence's exit, while Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano steered clear of the topic in his postgame news conference.
Around the NFL on Sunday, at least seven players from two teams knelt during the national anthem while three Miami Dolphins players and the Tennessee Titans' Rishard Matthews remained in the tunnel or locker room for the anthem. Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch continued to sit during the anthem.
Take Two is back this week tackling a handful of issues in the college football landscape.
National Recruiting Analyst Adam Gorney lays out the situation and then receives takes from wholesale jerseys National Recruiting Director Mike Farrell and a local expert from the network of team sites.
Storyline: UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen is uber-talented and is lining up to be a surefire first-round draft pick after two more seasons. The kid can play.
He can also ruffle feathers. Like when he wore a F&!K Trump hat to Donald Trump's golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., last month. Or when he went to social media to rip college amateurism rules after UCLA signed a $280 million deal this week with Under Armour, the biggest in NCAA history. Of that, Rosen and his fellow student-athletes at UCLA won't see a penny.
Last year as a freshman, Rosen was pictured with a girl in a hot tub – in his dorm room. UCLA notified the media the hot tub has since been removed.
The former five-star quarterback from Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco is young, having fun and speaks his mind. But is it in his best interest for the long term? Should Rosen say what he wants or should the UCLA quarterback consider toning it down so he doesn't turn off NFL scouts and executives who are watching every move?
On the Rich Eisen Show recently, UCLA coach Jim Mora heaped tremendous praise on Rosen but also said he has asked Rosen if he wants to be more like Johnny Manziel or Tom Brady is wholesale jerseys legit. The implication is clear. Maybe Rosen should tone it down.
Storyline: Freshman quarterback Shane Buechele has been described as the "main man" at Texas and the "solution" to the Longhorns' quarterback issues according to various media reports.
Third-year coach Charlie Strong better hope so.
Strong is on the hot seat in Austin. He's hired a new offensive coordinator, Sterlin Gilbert from Tulsa, to figure out how to produce more than just 1,751 passing yards and nine passing touchdowns like last season.
For a coach looking for more time, a freshman quarterback coupled with a new offensive coordinator doesn't seem like the best –- or quickest usa jerseys wholesale— fix. But it could also be like hitting gold, a fresh start on both fronts that could reap great rewards.
Some prognosticators have Texas as one of the surprise teams in college football this season. Strong needs that to happen. Winning will help recruiting and then the Longhorns could be off to the races.

Social work is an academic discipline and profession that concerns itself with individuals, families, groups and communities in an effort to enhance social functioning and overall well-being.[1][2] Social functioning refers to the way in which people perform their social roles, and the structural institutions that are provided to sustain them.[3] Social work applies social sciences, such as sociology, psychology, political science, public health, community development, law, and economics, to engage with client systems, conduct assessments, and develop interventions to solve social and personal problems; and create social change. Social work practice is often divided into micro-work, which involves working directly with individuals or small groups; and macro-work, which involves working communities, and within social policy, to create change on a larger scale.
Social work developed in the 19th century, with roots in voluntary philanthropy and grassroots organizing.[4] However, the act of responding to social needs have existed long before then, primarily from private charities, and religious organizations. The effects of the Industrial Revolution and the Great Depression, placed pressure on social work to be a more defined discipline.[5]
Social work is a broad profession that intersects with several disciplines. Social work organizations offer the following definitions:
"Social work is a practice-based profession and an academic discipline that promotes social change and development, social cohesion, and the empowerment and liberation of people. Principles of social justice, human rights, collective responsibility and respect for diversities are central to social work. Underpinned by theories of social work, social sciences, humanities and indigenous knowledge, social work engages people and structures to address life challenges and enhance wellbeing."[6] International Federation of Social Workers
"Social work is a profession concerned with helping individuals, families, groups and communities to enhance their individual and collective well-being. It aims to help people develop their skills and their ability to use their own resources and those of the community to resolve problems. Social work is concerned with individual and personal problems but also with broader social issues such as poverty, unemployment, and domestic violence." -[7] Canadian Association of Social Workers
Social work practice consists of the professional application of social work values, principles, and techniques to one or more of the following ends: helping people obtain tangible services; counseling and psychotherapy with individuals, families, and groups; helping communities or groups provide or improve social and health services; and participating in legislative processes. The practice of social work requires knowledge of human development and behavior; of social and economic, and cultural institutions; and of the interaction of all these factors."-[8] National Association of Social Workers
"Social workers work with individuals and families to help improve outcomes in their lives. This may be helping to protect vulnerable people from harm or abuse or supporting people to live independently. Social workers support people, act as advocates and direct people to the services they may require. Social workers often work in multi-disciplinary teams alongside health and education professionals."[9] - British Association of Social Workers
Main article: History of social work
A Marylebone slum in the 19th century.
The practice and profession of social work has a relatively modern and scientific origin,[10] and is generally considered to have developed out of three strands. The first was individual casework, a strategy pioneered by the Charity Organization Society in the mid-19th century, which was founded by Helen Bosanquet and Octavia Hill in London, England.[11] Most historians identify COS as the pioneering organization of the social theory that led to the emergence of social work as a professional occupation.[12] COS had its main focus on individual casework. The second was social administration, which included various forms of poverty relief – 'relief of paupers'. Statewide poverty relief could be said to have its roots in the English Poor Laws of the 17th century, but was first systematized through the efforts of the Charity Organization Society. The third consisted of social action – rather than engaging in the resolution of immediate individual requirements, the emphasis was placed on political action working through the community and the group to improve their social conditions and thereby alleviate poverty. This approach was developed originally by the Settlement House Movement.[12]
This was accompanied by a less easily defined movement; the development of institutions to deal with the entire range of social problems. All had their most rapid growth during the nineteenth century, and laid the foundation basis for modern social work, both in theory and in practice.[13]
Professional social work originated in 19th century England, and had its roots in the social and economic upheaval wrought by the Industrial Revolution, in particular the societal struggle to deal with the resultant mass urban-based poverty and its related problems. Because poverty was the main focus of early social work, it was intricately linked with the idea of charity work.[13]
Other important historical figures that shaped the growth of the social work profession are Jane Addams, who founded the Hull House in Chicago and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931; Mary Ellen Richmond, who wrote Social Diagnosis, one of the first social work books to incorporate law, medicine, psychiatry, psychology, and history; and William Beveridge, who created the social welfare state, framing the debate on social work within the context of social welfare prevision.
Transtheoretical models
Social work is an interdisciplinary profession, meaning it draws from a number of areas, such as (but not limited to) psychology, sociology, politics, criminology, economics, ecology, education, health, law, philosophy, anthropology, and counseling, including psychotherapy. Field work is a distinctive attribution to social work pedagogy. This equips the trainee in understanding the theories and models within the field of work. Professional practitioners from multicultural aspects have their roots in this social work immersion engagements from the early 19th century in the western countries. As an example, here are some of the models and theories used within social work practice:
Social case work
Social group work
Cognitive-behavioral
Equity theory
Financial social work
Medical social work
Person-centered therapy
Psychoanalytic[14]
Psychodynamic
Sociotherapy
Brief psychotherapy or solution-focused approach
Recovery approach
Social exchange
Welfare economics
Anti-oppressive practice
Strength-based practice
Task-centered
Prevention science
Program evaluation and performance measurement
Community development and intervention
Abraham Flexner in a 1915 lecture, "Is Social Work a Profession?",[15] delivered at the National Conference on Charities and Corrections, examined the characteristics of a profession with reference to social work. It is not a 'single model', such as that of health, followed by medical professions such as nurses and doctors, but an integrated profession, and the likeness with medical profession is that social work requires a continued study for professional development to retain knowledge and skills that are evidence-based by practice standards. A social work professional's services lead toward the aim of providing beneficial services to individuals, dyads, families, groups, organizations and communities to achieve optimum psychosocial functioning.[16]
Its seven core functions are described by Popple and Leighninger as:
Engagement — the social worker must first engage the client in early meetings to promote a collaborative relationship
Assessment — data must be gathered that will guide and direct a plan of action to help the client
Planning — negotiate and formulate an action plan
Implementation — promote resource acquisition and enhance role performance
Monitoring/Evaluation — on-going documentation through short-term goal attainment of extent to which client is following through
Supportive Counseling — affirming, challenging, encouraging, informing, and exploring options
Graduated Disengagement — seeking to replace the social worker with a naturally occurring resource[17]
Six other core values identified by the National Association of Social Workers' (NASW)[18] Code of Ethics are:
Service — help people in need and address social problems
Social Justice — challenge social injustices
Respect the dignity and worth of the person
Give importance to human relationships
Integrity — behave in a trustworthy manner
Competence — practice within the areas of one's areas of expertise and develop and enhance professional skill
A historic and defining feature of social work is the profession's focus on individual well-being in a social context and the well-being of society.[19] Social workers promote social justice and social change with and on behalf of clients.[20] A "client" can be an individual, family, group, organization, or community.[21] In the broadening scope of the modern social worker's role, some practitioners have in recent years traveled to war-torn countries to provide psychosocial assistance to families and survivors.[22]
Newer areas of social work practice involve management science.[23] The growth of "social work administration" for transforming social policies into services and directing activities of an organization toward achievement of goals is a related field.[24] Helping clients with accessing benefits such as unemployment insurance and disability benefits, to assist individuals and families in building savings and acquiring assets to improve their financial security over the long-term, to manage large operations, etc requires social workers to know financial management skills to help clients and organisation's to be financially self-sufficient.[25][26][27][28]Financial social work also helps clients with low-income or low to middle-income, people who are either unbanked (do not have a banking account) or underbanked (individuals who have a bank account but tend to rely on high cost non-bank providers for their financial transactions), with better mediation with financial institutions and induction of money management skills.[29][30] Another area that social workers are focusing is risk management, risk in social work is taken as Knight in 1921 defined "If you don't even know for sure what will happen, but you know the odds, that is risk and If you don't even know the odds, that is uncertainty." Risk management in social work means minimising the risks while increasing potential benefits for clients by analysing the risks and benefits in duty of care or in decisions.[31]
In the United States, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, professional social workers are the largest group of mental health services providers. There are more clinically trained social workers—over 200,000—than psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychiatric nurses combined. Federal law and the National Institutes of Health recognize social work as one of five core mental health professions.[32]
Examples of fields a social worker may be employed in are poverty relief, life skills education, community development, rural development, forensics and corrections, legislation, industrial relations, project management, child protection, elder protection, women's rights, human rights, systems optimization, finance, addictions rehabilitation, child development, cross-cultural mediation, occupational safety and health, disaster management, mental health, psychosocial therapy, disabilities, etc.
Social Work training begins in a structured manner at higher educational institutions (universities and colleges), coupled with or followed by practical internships and externships.
The education of social workers begins with a bachelor's degree (BA, BSc, BSSW, BSW, etc.) or diploma in social work or a Bachelor of Social Services. Some countries offer postgraduate degrees in social work, such as a master's degree (MSW, MSSW, MSS, MSSA, MA, MSc, MRes, MPhil.) or doctoral studies (PhD and DSW (Doctor of Social Work)). Increasingly, graduates of social work programs pursue post-masters and post-doctoral study, including training in psychotherapy.
In the United States, social work undergraduate and master's programs are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. A CSWE-accredited degree is required for one to become a state-licensed social worker.[33][34] The CSWE even accredits online master's in social work programs in traditional and advanced standing options.[35] In 1898, the New York Charity Organization Society, which was the Columbia University School of Social Work's earliest entity, began offering formal "social philanthropy" courses, marking both the beginning date for social work education in the United States, as well as the launching of professional social work.[36]
A number of countries and jurisdictions require registration or licensure of people working as social workers, and there are mandated qualifications.[37] In other places, a professional association sets academic requirements for admission to the profession. The success of these professional bodies' efforts is demonstrated in that these same requirements are recognized by employers as necessary for employment.[38]
Social workers have a number of professional associations that provide ethical guidance and other forms of support for their members and for social work in general. These associations may be international, continental, semi-continental, national, or regional. The main international associations are the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW) and the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW).
The largest professional social work association in the United States is the National Association of Social Workers. There also exist organizations that represent clinical social workers such as The American Association of Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work. AAPCSW is a national organization representing social workers who practice psychoanalytic social work and psychonalysis. There are also a number of states with Clinical Social Work Societies which represent all social workers who conduct psychotherapy from a variety of theoretical frameworks with families, groups and individuals. The Association for Community Organization and Social Administration (ACOSA)[39] is a professional organization for social workers who practice within the community organizing, policy, and political spheres.
In the UK, the professional association is the British Association of Social Workers (BASW) with just over 18,000 members (as of August 2015).
The Code of Ethics of the US-based National Association of Social Workers provides a code for daily conduct and a set of principles rooted in 6 core values:[40] service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence.[41]
Trade unions representing social workers
In the United Kingdom, just over half of social workers are employed by local authorities,[42] and many of these are represented by UNISON, the public sector employee union. Smaller numbers are members of the Unite the Union and the GMB (trade union). The British Union of Social Work Employees (BUSWE) has been a section of the Community (trade union) since 2008.
While at that stage not a union, the British Association of Social Workers operated a professional advice and representation service from the early 1990s. Social Work qualified staff who are also experienced in employment law and industrial relations provide the kind of representation you would expect from a trade union in the event of grievance, discipline or conduct matters specifically in respect of professional conduct or practice. However, this service depended on the good will of employers to allow the representatives to be present at these meetings, as only trade unions have the legal right and entitlement of representation in the workplace.
By 2011 several councils had realized that they did not have to permit BASW access, and those that were challenged by skilled professional representation of their staff were withdrawing permission. For this reason BASW once again took up trade union status by forming its arms length trade union section, SWU (Social Workers Union). This gives legal right to represent its members whether the employer or Trades Union Congress (TUC) recognizes SWU or not. At 2015 the TUC was still resisting SWU application for admission to congress membership and while most employers are not making formal statements of recognition until such a time as the TUC may change its policy, they are all legally required to permit SWU (BASW) representation at internal discipline hearings etc.
Social workers in literature
In 2011, a critic stated that "novels about social work are rare,"[43] and as recently as 2004, another critic claimed to have difficulty finding novels featuring a main character holding a Master of Social Work degree.[44]
However, social workers have been the subject of many novels, including:

The mystical, historical and the strictly rural Umbria are well summarized in this estate: an uncontaminated and panoramic oasis of 220 hectares in the green heart of Italy. Count Riccardo Pongelli Benedettonj runs the company started by his great-grandfather, carrying out a project in the lands that for centuries belong to his patrician family of Todi, and counts among his ancestors the thirteenth-century monk-poet Jacopone, one of the fathers of the Italian language . Glories of the past and the vocation for modern agricultural live in this organic company that is a return to the original values: family, culture, tradition, wine, essentially Earth! In the Tenuta di Saragano as well as the olive groves, crops, Chianina cattle farms and the refined Hotel de Charme "La Ghirlanda" there are six hectares of vineyards located 500 meters above sea level: a position that, in addition to representing the maximum altitude in the whole area of the Sagrantino, offers the vines excellent ventilation, ensuring quality and healthy grapes.
The bottles produced rest, for the time necessary, in a spectacular underground cellar converted from a medieval cave, divided between Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG which expresses with force but above all with harmony all the characteristics of this territory, Rosso di Montefalco DOC round wine with a deep taste, Umbria Bianco and Rosso IGT, light wines but with personality and a White sparkling Brut with a very light perlage.

You are here: Home › Portfolio › Family Stories › Newsletters › Newsletter - Summer 2017 › Your support made Brittany safe!
Although she was only in first grade, Brittany* already felt like a burden. Struggling to learn to read, Brittany was labeled as "lazy" and "not trying hard enough" at school. Her teachers faulted her mom for not helping her more. Her mom spoke little English and Brittany's brothers helped her with her homework. She felt like she was burdening everyone in her life. Every day, she grew more depressed. It got to the point where, at the age of six, Brittany said she wanted to die.
Everything changed when her family came to Housing Families. Brittany began regular, one-on-one counseling with staff at the youth and families program. Staff also worked with her school to provide her with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) to help her improve her reading skills and to help the school understand the family's circumstances. Through one-on-one tutoring sessions at Housing Families' after-school program, Brittany's reading abilities got stronger and stronger. Now Brittany is in third grade and loves to read, and even prefers to spend her time engrossed in a book. Two years ago, Brittany told Housing Families' staff that she wanted to end her life because she couldn't read. Your support has not only helped Brittany improve her reading– you've helped her develop self-confidence and a life-long passion for learning.
*While Brittany's story is true, Housing Families has changed her name to respect her privacy.

Codes > North Dakota Century Code > Title 39 > Chapter 39-20 > 39-20-01 Implied
§ 39-20-01. Implied consent to determine alcohol concentration and presence of drugs
Any individual who operates a motor vehicle on a highway or on public or private areas to which the public has a right of access for vehicular use in this state is deemed to have given consent, and shall consent, subject to the provisions of this chapter, to a chemical test, or tests, of the blood, breath, or urine for the purpose of determining the alcohol concentration or presence of other drugs, or combination thereof, in the individual's blood, breath, or urine. As used in this chapter, the word "drug" means any drug or substance or combination of drugs or substances which renders an individual incapable of safely driving, and the words "chemical test" or "chemical analysis" mean any test to determine the alcohol concentration or presence of other drugs, or combination thereof, in the individual's blood, breath, or urine, approved by the director of the state crime laboratory or the director's designee under this chapter. The test or tests must be administered at the direction of a law enforcement officer only after placing the individual, except individuals mentioned in section 39-20-03, under arrest and informing that individual that the individual is or will be charged with the offense of driving or being in actual physical control of a vehicle upon the public highways while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, drugs, or a combination thereof. For the purposes of this chapter, the taking into custody of a child under section 27-20-13 or an individual under twenty-one years of age satisfies the requirement of an arrest. The law enforcement officer shall also inform the individual charged that refusal of the individual to submit to the test determined appropriate will result in a revocation for up to four years of the individual's driving privileges. The law enforcement officer shall determine which of the tests is to be used. When an individual under the age of eighteen years is taken into custody for violating section 39-08-01 or an equivalent ordinance, the law enforcement officer shall attempt to contact the individual's parent or legal guardian to explain the cause for the custody. Neither the law enforcement officer's efforts to contact, nor any consultation with, a parent or legal guardian may be permitted to interfere with the administration of chemical testing requirements under this chapter. The law enforcement officer shall mail a notice to the parent or legal guardian of the minor within ten days after the test results are received or within ten days after the minor is taken into custody if the minor refuses to submit to testing. The notice must contain a statement of the test performed and the results of that test; or if the minor refuses to submit to the testing, a statement notifying of that fact. The attempt to contact or the contacting or notification of a parent or legal guardian is not a precondition to the admissibility of chemical test results or the finding of a consent to, or refusal of, chemical testing by the individual in custody.

Home Technology Science Happy Birthday To The Architect Of Indian Space Program!
Happy Birthday To The Architect Of Indian Space Program!
By Avni S. Singh -
Father of experimental fluid dynamics research in India, A professor, person who gave self-confidence and shape up APJ Kalam, a great teacher, visionary, the man behind the success of Indian space programme. He was the Prof. Satish Dhawan, the Architect of Indian Space Program, a silent warrior, Star Director of ISRO, an expert of science, technology and management and a lover of nature, particularly of birds.
His notions of nation building through the strong space building programme are now proving victorious and India is surely marking presence on the Global map.
When someone questioned regarding worthiness of Space Programme and asked instead of removing poverty, misery and hunger from India, why money should be spent in Space Programmes, the answer he gave tied the tongue of the sceptics and also unveiled the benefits of programmes to the feeble minds. He said "Programmes which focus on space and encounter complex issues of survival in a hostile environment, facing unexpected dangers and situations and overcoming them and enhance Mankind's capability to face the Unknown and survive as a truly civilized being."
"Collectively can Mankind enhance its capabilities to evolve a Civilization on Earth which is more humane, sensitive and harmonious not only to humans but to all forms of life? If yes, then we go into Space to Understand and Resolve problems of Life on Earth." (Excerpt from "An article on Prof. Satish Dhawan by Y.S. Rajan").
His journey had motivated many scientists to work and build the nation with devotion and meticulousness.
Not only, his work was monumental his solicitous nature is also visible in his tenure when he saved nine-thousand trees which were to be removed for SLV-3 LAUNCH.And also for the first time an official order was issued to all the Directors of ISRO Establishments stating that "no tree should be removed without specific clearance from the Chairman of the ISRO, in any Establishment".
Another very popular incident reflects his "magnanimous personality"
When he was the chairman of ISRO(Indian Space Research Organisation), and in the year 1975, when APJ Kalam was the director of SLV mission, the misinterpretation led to failure of a mission, and in the press conference he took the responsibility and said "We failed! But I have a very good trust in my team that next time we will be succeeding for sure" and next time when the mission was successfully implemented he told Abdul Kalam to attend the meeting.
President's Kalam "Wings of fire" explicitly tells how he was taught and motivated by him.
On his Birthday, few of his larger than life facts:
Graduation and Post Graduation: the University of Punjab in Lahore (Now in Pakistan), B.A. in Mathematics and physics, and M.A. in English Literature and a B.E. in Mechanical Engineering and M.S. in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Minnesota and a Ph.D. in Aeronautical and Mathematics in 1951.The length and breadth of his studies reflected his visions and ideologies across the genre of his works.
In 1951, joined the Indian Institute of Science in 1962 became IISc Director.
In 1972, became Chairman of the Space Commission and of the Indian Space Commission and of the Indian Space Research Organization, and Secretary to the Government of India in the Department of Space.
Awards bestowed:
In 1981, he got the second highest civilian honour of India, Padma Vibhushan Award.
In 1999, he got Indira Gandhi Award for National Integration.
Distinguished Alumnus Award, Indian Institute of Science and Distinguished Alumnus Award, California Institute of Technology, 1969.
Launch Centre at Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh was renamed as Prof. Satish Dhawan Space Centre in 2002.
His avant-garde in rural education, remote sensing and satellite communications paved the way to reach the unreachable distances. His dedicated efforts led to launch of operations like INSAT ( telecommunications satellite), IRS (the Indian Remote Sensing satellite) and PSLV (the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) and these marked India's place in league of space-faring nations.
On his demise in 2002, The President, K. R. Narayanan, who had worked with him said in his message:
"India's space programmes owe to a great extent its spectacular growth and high level of maturity to the stewardship and visionary leadership of Prof. Dhawan. I join all citizens of the country in paying homage to this outstanding son of India who served the nation with dedication and distinction, and extend my heartfelt condolences to all those who grieve his departure,".
His teachings and vision were imbibed by many, those many are creating Millions of candescent minds.

In just two short years the Crucast collective have taken the scene by storm, pushing a vital new strain of bass house that carries the torch from bassline, electro house, garage and more besides, injects it with steroids and slams it down it with fearless swagger and bucketloads of energy. Sounds lit right?
They're particularly known for full throttle takeovers at festivals, with the likes of Skepsis, Darkzy and Mr Virgo laying down the law while Bru-C winds the party up like any self-respecting MC should. Alongside the core of the Crucast stable, the mighty Flava D will be stepping in to serve up a serious lesson in UK garage, grime and other such bassweight styles alongside grime hero P Money.
Meanwhile in the Tunnel, Upgrade, Tsuki, Kanine and more flesh out the Crucast sound with yet more high-pressure, hyper modern club music. If you're already wise to the sound of bass house you don't need convincing, and if you don't know, there's not a better opportunity to get to know it all.

Q: How do I get scrollbars to show in Mobile Safari? The jQuery time-picker plugin that I wrote uses a div as the containing block for the list of times, and on Mobile Safari there are no scrollbars to indicate that there are more available times than are visible. I know about using two fingers to scroll within the div (on the iPad at least), but that only works if the user knows that there is more content to scroll to, and there's no indication that there is. So, my question: Has anyone been able to get scrollbars to show in Mobile Safari? How'd you do it?

A: Regarding the original question: the best solution to have scrollbars would be to use an external library (already recommended iScroll is good, but even jQuery UI itself contains scrollbars). But displaying ever-present scrollbars might deviate from the general iOS UI (see below).
Alternative would be to indicate with other GUI elements that the content is scrollable. Consider small gradient fields in the end of the element (the content fades to background there) that suggest that content continues when touched and scrolled.
In iOS5 overflow: scroll functions as expected, i.e it allows the the div to be scrolled up/down with one finger within the area specified by the dimensions of the div. But scrollable div doesn't have scrollbars. This is a bit different from the general UI in iOS(5). Generally there are no scrollbars also, but they appear when user starts scrolling a content area and fade out again after the touch event has stopped.

A: To answer Sam Hasler comment above.
Nicescroll 3 is a jquery plugin that does just what you want with fade in/out effect and work in all major Mobile/Tablet/Desktop browsers.
Live demo
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("html").niceScroll({styler:"fb",cursorcolor:"#000"});
    $("#divexample1").niceScroll();//or styles/options below
    $("#divexample2").niceScroll("#wrapperexample2",{cursorcolor:"#0F0",boxzoom:true});
    $("#divexample3").niceScroll("#divexample3 iframe",{boxzoom:true});
  });

A: Assuming you are using iOS5.0 or later, I think you have to use the following:
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: auto (this is default style)
auto: One finger scrolling without momentum.
The other available style is
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch
touch: Native-style scrolling. Specifying this style has the effect of creating a staking context (like opacity, masks, and transforms).
Using touch mode, the scrollbar will be visible when the user touches and scrolls, but disappear when not in use. If you want to make it always visible, then this old post will help you:
::-webkit-scrollbar {
    -webkit-appearance: none;// you need to tweak this to make it available..
    width: 8px;
}

Another Piece of Code for Thumb by @BJMC:
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
    border-radius: 4px;
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.5);
    box-shadow: 0 0 1px rgba(255,255,255,.5);
}

Original Source
Edit: with respect to this demo's behaviour, you should use jQuery because it will help you a lot, $(document).ready(function(){//your code with timer}) code with timer will need to reset the CSS property to normal after desired time(let's say 5 sec.)
For the demo( that you have described), this is initiated with the onhover event, please check this fiddle I have created for that.
That reproduces the results in a desktop browser, and will also work in iPad, just add your timer code to suit your requirements.

A: If you want to have the scroll to be always visible,
Do not set -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch
then set custom style for scrollbar
::-webkit-scrollbar {
    -webkit-appearance: none;// you need to tweak this to make it available..
    width: 8px;
}

You loss the momentum effect, but scrollbar will always be there.
(tested under iPhone 4/ iOS 7)

A: Mobile safari, as far as I have seen won't support scrollbars.
The best plugin I could find to get the job done is this.
Its Demos are available here.
It also has multiple predefined skins to suit your application.
here's a sample of what you'll get -

A: By convention, scrollbars are not used on iOS.
For a div with overflow: scroll, the only native way to scroll is with two fingers.
You might take a look at iScroll, a JavaScript library which handles touch events and implements single-finger momentum scrolling (what users generally expect in native apps) for divs.

A: until ios5 you could not scroll internal divs - so you probably are not seeing a scroll bar when you try to scroll because there isn't one.
I haven't tested on ios5 but supposedly scrolling internal divs now works.
If it isn't an internal div then you should be able to see the scroll bar when it is scrolling only - this isn't just on ios anymore - lion has gotten rid of all native scroll bars too.  You can only see them when a window is scrolling or when the window is first loaded.

Business briefs, 2/9/12

Vestas stock tumbles amid $220 million loss
Vestas Wind Systems fell the most in a month Wednesday after the world's biggest wind-turbine maker reported a loss four times wider than analyst forecasts and chief financial officer Henrik Norremark resigned.
Norremark quit late Tuesday, less than a month after being promoted and hours before Aarhus, Denmark-based Vestas' announcement of a $220 million loss in 2011.
Sales and margins missed guidance given in January when Vestas issued a second profit warning in three months. The shares Wednesday slid as much as 15 percent in Copenhagen.
Vestas last month said it was dismissing 10 percent of its workers. It attributed profit warnings in October and January to production delays at a new generator factory and higher-than-expected costs developing its V112 turbine. Vestas has facilities in Windsor, Brighton and Pueblo.
"Pocket change" fines alleged for drilling violations
WASHINGTON —Federal policing of oil and natural-gas drilling on public lands is lax and inconsistent, with only 6 percent of violations resulting in monetary fines over 13 years, House Democrats said in a report Wednesday.
Fines over that time totaled less than $275,000, an amount that the Democratic staff of the House Natural Resources Committee characterized as little more than "pocket change" for oil and gas companies.
Array BioPharma plans to sell shares
Boulder-based Array BioPharma filed a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating it plans to sell shares of its common stock in an underwritten public offering, the Daily Camera reported Wednesday. Terms of the offering were not immediately disclosed. Shares of Array closed down 9 cents Wednesday to $3.19.
Butterfinger prankster apologizes to Boston but reaps publicity
The day after Pawngo.com dumped 900 pounds of Butterfinger candy bars in the middle of Boston's Copley Square, Todd Hills, chief executive and founder of the Denver-based online pawn shop, asked Boston for a do-over.
"I apologize," Hills posted Wednesday on a company blog asking forgiveness for the Super Bowl stunt, which mocked Patriots player Wes Welker for dropping the ball that could have stymied the New York Giants' march to victory. Hills called the candy slinging "a misguided and misdirected stunt."
While it might seem a pittance compared with the priceless national press this stunt attracted, the city of Boston has issued Pawngo a citation for illegal dumping, which includes a $1,000 fine.
Publisher paring 17 jobs
Prairie Mountain Publishing — which publishes the Boulder Daily Camera, Colorado Daily and Longmont Times-Call — plans to lay off 17 employees in Boulder as it consolidates and outsources some advertising design and production services, the Camera reported Wednesday.
Fifteen positions will be eliminated as part of a broader initiative by Prairie Mountain's parent company — Digital First Media, a joint partnership by Denver-based MediaNews Group and the Journal Register Co. — to outsource print and digital advertising design operations to Illinois-based Affinity Express. The Denver Post is also part of Digital First Media.
Positive profit forecast drives up Level 3 shares
Level 3 Communications gained the most in almost six months after the broadband services provider forecast that 2012 profit by one measure would rise as much as 25 percent amid demand driven by video.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization will increase by 20 percent to 25 percent from a year earlier, Level 3 said Wednesday in a statement.
Shares of the Broomfield company advanced 8.8 percent, or $1.72, to close at $21.31.
