Emotional and psychological effects of acne
Going to get learners license next saturday
By HiImMatt, June 5, 2011 in Emotional and psychological effects of acne
HiImMatt 27
Next saturday, i'll be literally forcing myself to get it cause i feel pathetic that i dont have my license at 18(Yes that is how much acne has held me back). But im still scared outta my mind, cause that is teenage paradise, Its like going into the lion den but except they wont eat you lol. But still, these are teens were talking about here, most or all with clear skin and will be making fun of you, laughing, staring. How do i do it?!
Also, allow me to show you some pics of my face, most of these are scars, so dont think every red mark you see is acne.
Sorry for the blurriness, its the sucky webcams fault lol. Also, the webcam makes my acne look more worse than is actually is.
So anyway, can someone please tell me how to face these fears so i can finally freakin drive, Thanks.

I learned the hard way I never had any driving experience when I went to take driving lessons so I could take the test with them and I was humiliated when I drove the first time because I had no experience after that I thought I sucked at driving, but I drove more and more and got confident and passed the test and didn't have to take the driver's test on the dmv thats how good I drove on my test day. If you have past driving experience you will be fine but if you don't have any experience than I suggest you tell one of your parents to practice driving all week, also chew some while you drive it will help you calm your nerves good luck.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm 22 and I still don't have a driver's license. That's my goal this summer, to finally go ahead and take the test etc. And it's not from acne having held me back, I just never had access to a car in high school and it just didn't seem like a big deal to have my license lol. I know, every 16 year old wants a license but I was just "meh" about it. So, yeah, don't feel bad or awkward or anything that you're 18. You know a lot of people wait even later? I knew someone in their early thirties who had just gotten their license. A lot of people wait, so don't feel like you're the only one. And just get yourself pumped up and think that when it's all said and done(and it wont take long to get your license) you'll be able to drive. Now that's a pretty sweet reward, right?
Now I just gotta drag my butt off the couch to get my license too lol

It took me ages to get my license. My best piece of advice would be not to wait! It's not worth prolonging. I think you're a trooper for going when you're 18 - that's a perfectly reasonable age to go for your license! I waited until I was 21 and I can't believe the independence I've gained since I got my license and bought my car. I couldn't imagine going back to bumming rides and relying on other people. Your acne shouldn't hold you back from things like that. In the real world, people who are employed to teach you to drive and sit your driving tests honestly don't give a crap and a half about the condition of your skin, just your driving capabilities. Just breathe, be calm, and remember that it's just driving, not rocket science. It takes a while to get used to, and even if you have to sit your test a few times, it's still a win for you! You're getting out there and you're doing something for yourself in the face of fear.

I'm 20 I never even got a permit. I always find myself being driven by others so there was never a pressing need to get one. I also find bus transportation kind of adventurous, not to mention cheap!
All I can tell you is to press on, no matter what your skin looks like. You'll be hating yourself for not doing more when you're older.

When the Dagger Roam first arrived at our office I have to admit that I didn't quite know what to make of it. On the surface it is a fairly broad nine and a half foot kayak fitted with a great seat and foot pegs. My initial thought was a small, comfortable fishing kayak stripped back for general purpose use. That sounded rather unlikely from Dagger, and a closer look left me with some questions: Why the rounded hull? What's with the skeg? And what is the deal with these thigh straps?
Let's start with that seat: Bolted to the hull with a couple of heavy duty screws the Roam's "Contour Surround Seat" is a permanent feature rather than the clip on pads that we are more used to seeing with sit-on kayaks. It is also easily one of the best seats I've tried with a sit-on. It's certainly comfortable: Well padded, secure and with adjustable back adjustments and leg lifter it also drains and dries quickly when it needs to.
The design though is as much about performance as comfort, snugly holding you in the boat, increasing points of contact and never budging or slipping when you apply the power. Being permanently fixed, the seat does present a challenge if you transport your kayak top down on a roof rack, but moving the kayak stern-first seemed to solve that on most car/rack combinations.
Foot support comes in the shape of an adjustable rail and footpeg system. The pegs themselves are slightly padded and angled for comfort and purchase. The pegs offer 22 positions, giving flexibility to satisfy our team (who range in height from 5'7 to 6'4).
One touch we loved on the Roam was its removable mesh storage bag. This clips into the rear storage well offering a secure (if wet) place to store your essentials. Remove the bag and clip on the thigh straps and you have a handy lightweight backpack.
Throughout the Roam, the outfitting is of a conspicuously high standard. From double clip bottle-carrier through attachment points, thigh straps and paddle-keeper the outfitting looks good, seems solid and is plentiful.
Dagger have also equipped the Roam with an adjustable drop-skeg to improve tracking on flat water. This is operated by a small pull-tab to the right of the seat, allowing you to raise or lower the skeg by any amount you choose. The system works well, with a spring loading mechanism ensuring that the skeg drops reliably.
The Roam is a well put together boat with an impressive amount of standard kit, but is the Dagger Road any good on water? Dagger bill the Roam as an "all water craft" and one of the reasons that this review has been slow coming is that I really wanted to test it in a variety of conditions before writing it up. Having now clocked up a few miles in as varied conditions as I can I have to say that I really like the Roam and appreciate that Dagger have tried to do something a little different with it.
Whatever your perceptions are of the Roam I think you'll be happily surprised. When you first jump on the Roam you can really feel the effect of that rounded hull. It's a stable craft, but one that isn't afraid to offer up some movement before it settles. This secondary stability will feel wobbly to some, but that roll is key to the Roam's performance.
Combined with the control offered by the seat, foot pegs and thigh straps (if used), that roll makes the Roam surprisingly nimble to what is quite a large and comfortably boat. Get it on an edge and it not only turns sharply, but rides a wave well. In fact, in small to moderate surf I was surprised just how well it coped, manoeuvred and handled for such a big boat. On land you'd be forgiven for thinking the Dagger Roam is simply a touring boat, but not so. Dagger bill the Roam as a cross-over and you do feel more sat "in" compared with pure sit-on-tops. This drops your centre of gravity, but also lends itself to a dryer ride even in chop. During testing the Roam was chucked at some fairly chunky walls of white water and the boat's gunnels do an admirable job of deflecting saltwater. Although we didn't get the chance to try in the river we think this trait would help when passing through/over moderate rapids and wave trains. Drop the skeg and the Roam feels like an altogether tamer beast. The roll gets dialled down and tracking improves significantly allowing you to cover water more quickly and in comfort. We only tested the 9'6", which is certainly not a tourer, but it is a boat capable of getting you from A to B and ensuring that you have some fun whatever conditions you meet on route.

Nicole Malliotakis
Jasmine Kuldip as Nicole
Nicole Malliotakis' father is from Greece, and mother from Cuba. They came to New York in hopes of achieving the American Dream. She attended PS.53, IS.24 and New Dorp High School. She graduated from Seton Hall University with a B.A. and also from Wagner college with a M.B.A. Her parents inspired her to expose corrupt practices of government officials, she has been "fearless" and "tireless" in her quest to protect New York. In her life journey, she had been recognized as one of the American Conservative Union's top 10 under 40 and addressed the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference. Among many other awards she has received, "Top 10 Under 40","40 under 40" Latino Rising Stars, one of MSNBC's "Young Conservatives To Watch," and received special recognition at the 2011 Women of Achievement Awards by the Staten Island Advance. Malliotakis was even elected to the State Assembly on November 2, 2010 with 55% of the votes. Nicole had 61%, 73%, and 100% of the votes consecutively being elected for 3 terms in her district, covering Brooklyn and Staten Island.
New York City has the arrangement of "the privilege to protect" which implies that we have a court command set up requiring that we furnish families with kids, and people, impermanent crisis lodging when they have no other lodging choice. The financial plan for the year is very nearly 2 million, no sum will be sufficient to take care of the issue if there isn't a decent arrangement. As a State Assembly member, Nicole will help increment moderate housing choices, similar to free up space in New York open housing. She will address hidden issues by making a residential mishandle migration program, personal satisfaction laws will be customary upheld. She will set up 24-hours pop-up walk-in intake centers, firm requirements, at-risk rent subsidy, permanent assisted housing for those with severe health conditions and will direct homeless individuals suffering from addiction towards rehab and sober living. Nicole will go far in addressing homelessness issues.
Crime and quality of life
Human trafficking cases have increased 50% in 2016. Penalties like public urination and littering have been reduced and 750,000 open warrants are being tossed out, sending the wrong message to offenders and disrupting the quality of life, fixing and improving prisons to a more human environment will be safer for both inmates and officers.
A lot of this cash never really achieves the classroom. An excess of runs towards contracts with costly advisors and merchants and focal organization while educators are compelled to pay for classroom supplies out of their own takes, understudies need avant-garde reading material and innovation, and classes are being held in trailers stopped on the school play area. This isn't right and unsuitable. Since the disaster at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut, where 20 kids were killed on December 12, 2012, there have been 220 shootings on school grounds all through the United States. Nicole Malliotakis would guide the Police Commissioner to practice his power to select "Exceptional Patrolmen", comprising of resigned law implementation work force with perfect records and disguised convey licenses. These unique patrolmen will be entrusted with watching school offices on a turning premise, to fill in as an obstacle and an extreme line of safeguard against potential catastrophe, guaranteeing the wellbeing of kids to and from school. Notwithstanding sheltered school, Nicole will name a leader of the biggest state funded educational system on the planet that has encounter both in the classroom and as an overseer to comprehend the difficulties of our schools. As chairman Nicole Malliotakis will speak the truth about instruction comes about and will work straightforwardly with teachers, overseers, Community Education Councils, and different partners to enhance them. she will guarantee understudies approach top level innovation assets and hardware with the goal that they can gain the apparatuses and basic learning to flourish in a cutting edge economy.
The Malliotakis organization will rectify the concentration of current psychological well-being projects to thoroughly focus on the truly rationally sick and will review ThriveNYC to figure out which of the parts serving the "advanced" rationally sick ought to be held. 18% of the NYC adult population endure with a mental issue recorded in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.the Malliotakis organization's objective will be to diminish the quantity of rationally sick in our correctional facilites and on our boulevards by precisely measuring achievement and reallocating assets from programs that need confirmation of adequacy, for example, Mental Health First Aid and shame crusades to programs that really lessen violations submitted by extremely rationally sick people and spare citizen cash over the long haul. The Malliotakis organization will grow the concentration of existing emotional wellness assets to heartily focus on the truly rationally sick since these people are in charge of a lopsided level of brutality and unsafe conduct prompting exorbitant hospitalizations and imprisonments.
Nicole will proceed with immigration set up by Mayor Ed Koch and proceeded through Mayor Bloomberg, Nicole has been driving the resistance against Bill de Blasio's policy of protecting individuals who are here illegally and have committed crimes against other immigrants and citizens.
Nicole has been a promoter for better open transportation, battling effectively to reestablish transport administration to Brooklyn and Staten Island and taking a stand in opposition to metro congestion and administration delays. As leader, Nicole will start an arrangement to change over New York City's aging traffic grid to one that uses Smart Light technology to facilitate traffic flowing and reduce emissions.
Nicole, a State Assembly member voted in favor of enactment that guarantees the domains, powers and trusts law to mirror the arrangements of the marriage fairness act, to grow appropriation rights to same sex couples and make local accomplices qualified to get wrongdoing casualties' remuneration. Assemblywoman Malliotakis also protected our gay youth by voting to ban the use of sexual conversion therapy on individuals under 18 years of age.
Nicole wants to see the permitting procedure for new businesses streamlined, the commercial rent tax adjusted to exempt smaller businesses already facing skyrocketing rents, and reforming the way fines and penalties are issued to give businesses a chance to correct minor violations that do not pose a safety risk. Nicole additionally trusts the city ought to put resources into more professional preparing openings, with the goal that the individuals who pick not to go to school can acquire a fundamental ability, get them off the lowest pay permitted by law, and construct a vocation in which they can bolster themselves and their families.

Live imaging of flowers reveals hidden secrets of plant reproduction
Scientists develop live-cell imaging that enables the first visualisation of hidden processes in plant reproduction.
Press Pack Feb 11, 2020
Scientists have developed a way to image sexual reproduction in living flowers, according to a study published today in the open-access journal eLife.

The new technique, originally reported on bioRxiv*, records for the first time movies of fundamental processes in flower development and opens up new avenues for research on plant sexual reproduction.
Plant reproduction occurs in the anthers and ovaries of developing flowers, resulting in the formation of pollen and an embryo sac that holds male and female germ cells. The production of germ cells involves both types of cell division called meiosis and mitosis. Following production, these cells fuse together during fertilisation to produce a cell that develops into a plant.
Much of our understanding of plant reproductive processes has come from studying dissected samples of plants under a microscope and by examining aberrations arising from mutations in plant genes involved in plant reproduction. However, these methods do not provide information about where and when different events happen during reproduction. Live imaging provides a way of capturing this important detail.
"Live imaging has been instrumental in research into root growth and development, but live-cell imaging of cell processes within the flower is technically much more challenging," explains co-first author Sona Valuchova, a postdoctoral researcher at the Central European Institute of Technology at Masaryk University, Czech Republic. "There is a need to develop imaging methods in the context of whole organs or plants."
Valuchova and her colleagues used a technique called light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM), where a sample is moved through a thin sheet of laser light, and a detector picks up three-dimensional image data. In this way, an entire flower that has been embedded in agar can be imaged quickly by moving it through the plane of light. The resulting 3D model shows intricate detail of the flower structure and can be used to track the fate of individual germ cells within it.
Having shown that LSFM could provide high-resolution images of flowers, the team's next goal was to establish that it could detect specific events in reproduction. To achieve this, they used flowers that had been engineered to have fluorescent labels on key molecules involved in meiosis and mitosis. They were able to capture the entire process of meiosis in male germ cells by detecting changes in the amount and location of a molecule called ASY1 every hour for four days.
The team went on to show that live imaging could be successfully used to study plant hormone levels during different stages of flower development and to watch the movement of chromosomes across the cell during cell division.
One of the most neglected areas of plant reproduction research is the production of female germ cells during female meiosis. Most studies on plant meiosis have focused on male germ cells because the female equivalent – called the megaspore mother cell – are incredibly rare and look very similar to other cells, making them hard to study. To overcome this, the team developed a version of live imaging specifically for female meiosis. "This required careful dissection of the flower bud to reveal the ovules, which were then passed through the laser light every 10 minutes over 24 hours to create a 3D film," says co-first author Pavlina Mikulkova, also a senior scientist at the Central European Institute of Technology at Masaryk University. "Using this technique, we were able to record the two phases of female meiosis and determine how long each one lasted."
"This work demonstrates the power of LSFM to provide novel information about plant reproduction that could not previously be studied by other types of microscopy," concludes senior researcher Karel Riha, Deputy Director for Research at the Central European Institute of Technology at Masaryk University. "Our success in developing a live imaging protocol for female meiosis represents a major technical advancement in plant cell biology."

Congressional negotiators reached agreement Monday night to prevent a government shutdown and finance construction of new barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border, overcoming a late-stage hang-up over immigration enforcement issues that had threatened to scuttle the talks.
Republicans were desperate to avoid another bruising shutdown. They tentatively agreed to far less money for President Donald Trump's border wall than the White House's $5.7 billion wish list, settling for a figure of nearly $1.4 billion, according to congressional aides. The funding measure is through the fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30.
The pact also includes increases for new technologies such as advanced screening at border entry point, humanitarian aid sought by Democrats, and additional customs officers.
The agreement got bad reviews from some of Trump's conservative allies.
"While the President was giving a great speech in El Paso, Congress was putting together a bad deal on immigration," Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, wrote on Twitter.
The recent shutdown left more than 800,000 government workers without paychecks, forced postponement of the State of the Union address and hurt Trump's poll numbers. As support in his own party began to splinter, Trump surrendered after the shutdown hit 35 days, agreeing to the current temporary reopening without getting money for the wall.

Volvo Cars reports record operating profit of SEK14.1 billion ($1.7B) in 2017
Feb 08, 2018 ID: 220932
Volvo Cars, the premium car maker, has reported a strong 27.7 per cent increase in operating profit in 2017, earning a record SEK14.1 billion ($1.7B) compared to SEK11.0 billion ($1.3B) in 2016, driven by global sales of 571,577 cars.
Net revenue for the period increased 16.6 per cent to SEK210.9 billion ($26B) compared to SEK180.9 billion ($22.4B) in 2016, while the operating profit margin improved from 6.1 per cent in 2016 to 6.7 per cent in 2017.
The results underline the comprehensive transformation of Volvo's finances and operations in recent years, positioning the company for its next growth phase.
Global sales rose 7.0 per cent during the year, underpinned by a 25.8 per cent increase in China, Volvo Cars' largest individual market.
"Our business has transformed completely since 2010 and we are now gearing up for a phase of global, sustainable growth," said Håkan Samuelsson, president and chief executive. "We are investing in all parts of our organisation and have laid out clear strategies around electrification, autonomous drive and connectivity."
Full details of the company's financial results are available by following this link and will be discussed further at a press conference starting at 10:00am CET, which can be followed via this link.
2017 was an important year for Volvo Cars, as the company launched new models, developed partnerships in important areas and unveiled a global electrification strategy unmatched by any other car maker.
It completed its global line-up of brand new SUVs throughout the year, with the launch of the new XC60 and the company's first ever small SUV, the XC40. The XC40 launch also coincided with the introduction of a new model of car access via the company's brand new 'Care by Volvo' premium subscription service.
In July, Volvo Cars announced that it would place electrification at the core of its future business, stating that every car it launches from 2019 will have an electric motor. In a further commitment to electrification it launched Polestar, a new stand-alone electrified car brand fully consolidated within the Volvo Car Group.
Volvo Cars enhanced its collaboration with Geely Holding via the creation of a joint venture technology company to provide further economies of scale in technology development. It also acquired a 30 per cent stake in Geely's new LYNK & CO car brand, with which it shares the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA).
In 2017, Volvo Cars signed a framework agreement with ride-hailing company Uber to sell it tens of thousands of autonomous driving compatible base cars between 2019 and 2021.
In 2017, Volvo revealed that the next generation XC90 SUV will be the second vehicle built at the South Carolina factory along with the S60 sedan. Volvo announced its new manufacturing plant in South Carolina in 2015, its first in the United States. The plant represents an investment of over USD 1.1 billion and will create nearly 4,000 new jobs.
For the 2017 financial year, Volvo Car Group recorded an operating profit of 14,061 MSEK (11,014 MSEK in 2016). Revenue over the period amounted to 210,912 MSEK (180,902 MSEK). For the full year 2017, global sales reached a record 571,577 cars, an increase of 7.0 per cent versus 2016. The results underline the comprehensive transformation of Volvo Cars' finances and operations in recent years, positioning the company for its next growth phase.

Rebellion Spreads to Planet Earth
The Devil . . . was cast to the earth.
Illustration © Review and Herald Publ. Assoc.
Why didn't God punish Lucifer immediately, at the first sign of pride or rebellion?
God in His great mercy bore long with Lucifer. He was not immediately degraded from his exalted station when he first indulged the spirit of discontent, nor even when he began to present his false claims before the loyal angels. Long was he retained in heaven. Again and again he was offered pardon on condition of repentance and submission. Such efforts as only infinite love and wisdom could devise were made to convince him of his error. The spirit of discontent had never before been known in heaven. Lucifer himself did not at first see whither he was drifting; he did not understand the real nature of his feelings. But as his dissatisfaction was proved to be without cause, Lucifer was convinced that he was in the wrong, that the divine claims were just, and that he ought to acknowledge them as such before all heaven. Had he done this, he might have saved himself and many angels. He had not at this time fully cast off his allegiance to God. Though he had forsaken his position as covering cherub, yet if he had been willing to return to God, acknowledging the Creator's wisdom, and satisfied to fill the place appointed him in God's great plan, he would have been reinstated in his office. But pride forbade him to submit. He persistently defended his own course, maintained that he had no need of repentance, and fully committed himself, in the great controversy, against his Maker. . . .
God in His wisdom permitted Satan to carry forward his work, until the spirit of disaffection ripened into active revolt. It was necessary for his plans to be fully developed, that their true nature and tendency might be seen by all. Lucifer, as the anointed cherub, had been highly exalted; he was greatly loved by the heavenly beings, and his influence over them was strong. God's government included not only the inhabitants of heaven, but of all the worlds that He had created; and Satan thought that if he could carry the angels of heaven with him in rebellion, he could carry also the other worlds. He had artfully presented his side of the question, employing sophistry and fraud to secure his objects. His power to deceive was very great, and by disguising himself in a cloak of falsehood he had gained an advantage. Even the loyal angels could not fully discern his character or see to what his work was leading.
Satan had been so highly honored, and all his acts were so clothed with mystery, that it was difficult to disclose to the angels the true nature of his work. Until fully developed, sin would not appear the evil thing it was.
The Great Controversy, p. 495-497
When Lucifer and the angels who sided with him persisted in open rebellion against God's authority, the Bible gives us a glimpse of what happened in heaven:
"And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." Revelation 12:7-9.
And when war did break out in heaven, why did God cast Satan to this earth instead of destroying him then?
Even when it was decided that he could no longer remain in heaven, Infinite Wisdom did not destroy Satan. Since the service of love can alone be acceptable to God, the allegiance of His creatures must rest upon a conviction of His justice and benevolence. The inhabitants of heaven and of other worlds, being unprepared to comprehend the nature or consequences of sin, could not then have seen the justice and mercy of God in the destruction of Satan. Had he been immediately blotted from existence, they would have served God from fear rather than from love. The influence of the deceiver would not have been fully destroyed, nor would the spirit of rebellion have been utterly eradicated. Evil must be permitted to come to maturity. For the good of the entire universe through ceaseless ages Satan must more fully develop his principles, that his charges against the divine government might be seen in their true light by all created beings, that the justice and mercy of God and the immutability of His law might forever be placed beyond all question.
Satan's rebellion was to be a lesson to the universe through all coming ages, a perpetual testimony to the nature and terrible results of sin. The working out of Satan's rule, its effects upon both men and angels, would show what must be the fruit of setting aside the divine authority. It would testify that with the existence of God's government and His law is bound up the well-being of all the creatures He has made. Thus the history of this terrible experiment of rebellion was to be a perpetual safeguard to all holy intelligences, to prevent them from being deceived as to the nature of transgression, to save them from committing sin and suffering its punishments.
In the garden of Eden, Satan would now attempt to infect the inhabitants of the newly created Planet Earth with his doubts about God.

A feud between Governor John Bel Edwards and Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator over criminal justice reforms may have just gotten next level ugly. According to an article in the Advocate, it would seem the feud now is affecting state business and involves wives.
Recently, Edwards rejected the appointment of Prator's wife Carolyn to the Red River Water Way Commission. The 11-member commission decides, among other things, how to spend flood control money in the seven North Louisiana Parishes. Each of the seven parishes has a representative, along with four at-large members. The Governor rejected Carolyn's appointment to the Board, instead opting to move an at large member into the open seat, which was vacated due to the death of a member.
Carolyn Prator believes the rejection is directly related to the governor and her husband's public and often heated disagreements over the Criminal Justice Reinvestment Act .
"Steve has been so vocal that he has been summoned to meet with the governor, who, according to Steve, was extremely angry to have been criticized about the initiative and demanded an apology. Steve remains a critic and the governor remains angry, " Carolyn told the Advocate. Sheriff Steve agrees with his wife saying that its no doubt in his mind that this is retribution.
However, the Governor's office denies that this is anything other than Edwards following rules and regulations. The Advocate reached out to the Governor's Office and his Communications Director Shauna Sanford said that Prator's recommendation letters for the job were not sent to the Governor within the required 30 day window.
However, KEEL News has been told by multiple sources that the Governor is not afraid to wield his power and has been known to seek revenge and retribution when opportunities appear.
Waterway Comm notified the three nominating bodies of vacancy. 10 days later Carolyn's nominations sent to gov office. That is within 30 days. She has letters. Law says gov shall appoint as quickly as possible when he receives nominations. Took him over 4 months to reject Carolyn.
Either way, the rejection could have a huge impact on Caddo Parish. The Governor's decision will cost Caddo a vote on the commission even though it funds 40 percent of the budget.


My name is Stephen Driver, and capturing wonderful family memories is what I've devoted my life to. I'm a professional family photographer, but more than that, I'm just like you... I'm a family person.
This is going to be hard to believe. I'm a professional photographer, and I never had a family photograph created of my family when my children were still living at home.
What I wouldn't give to be able to go back in time, and capture those moments on film. That's one of the reasons I became a professional photographer - I want to help other families hold on to their family memories forever, and never regret not having a family portrait done.
Throughout This Page You'll See And Hear From Families In Kentucky Who Have Had Their Lives Forever Enriched By the Lasting Memories Of Family Portraits.
If you're at all like most of the families on this website, you probably haven't given a lot of thought to having a family portrait created. Don't worry - that's pretty normal. You've got a lot of things going on in your life. Life is busier and crazier than ever in 2016, and family life in particular seems to be happening at an ever-accelerating pace.
By visiting my website, you must at least be considering having a portrait of your family created. Well, that's great - you will probably never make a decision that will bring you more lasting joy. However, there are some things you NEED to know before you and your loved ones step in front of any camera. By the time you finish reading this single page, you will know everything you need to know about how to have the perfect family portrait created - the one you will cherish forever!
You Don't Pay Me For Them.
So, if FOR ANY REASON you feel that the photographs I create for you are anything less than perfect - you don't pay me for them. It's that simple.
I Only Wish I Had A Photograph Of All Of Us Together. That Would Be One Of The Most Priceless Things I Own. .
If you're like most people, when you think of a PROFESSIONAL family portrait, you think of all of you gathered in front of a "painted background" in a photography studio, posed unnaturally, and all saying "cheese" as the photographer snaps the picture. Now, is that something any family will cherish for a lifetime? I think not. Yes, it may capture the whole family together, but it will never capture your family relationships - your family's love.
Picture instead: All of you gathered in your favorite room in your home. Or outside on the new deck you just had built. Or in your backyard by the pine trees that give your yard so much character. All of you are dressed in clothes the photographer helped you choose - clothing that conveys your individual personalities, but still looks great together. Well, that's what makes all the difference, and that's what I will do for you.
Obviously, I'm totally confident that the portraits I create of you and your family will be well beyond anything you imagine. I believe completely that these photographs will become your most prized possessions - that, if your house were on fire, you would grab them on the way out of your burning home. This is not arrogance. I can't stand arrogance. No, this is a complete belief in my abilities to capture natural, real emotions and family relationships on film unlike anyone else. That's what I've devoted my life to, and that's why I can't wait to photograph your family for you.
1st - At NO CHARGE, I will photograph your family again, and make sure that anything that wasn't perfect is fixed, without you paying another cent.
2nd - If I am absolutely unable to thrill you - if I'm unable to create a photograph that you feel you will cherish forever, I will refund EVERY PENNY you invested in them.
"All Family Portraits Are Created Equal.".
INCORRECT. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you're at all like most people, you've probably had this question going through your mind: "How do I choose the right photographer?" In fact, you may even have thought of someone in your family - an uncle, a grandparent, even a friend - who is a bit of an amateur photographer. Why not just have that person create the photograph of your family?
Comfortable In Front Of The Camera!
Plus, I understand the "psychology" of photography. Learning the technical aspects, what lenses to use, what lighting looks best, how clothing adds and subtracts weight in a portrait, all of those things were only the tip of the iceberg. Without being able to make each one of your family members look and feel comfortable (and natural) in a portrait, all those technical things would amount to nothing.
That's a surefire way of getting expressions that look totally fake and unnatural. No a great photographer knows that, in order to get a great expression from a subject, you need to get to know that subject a bit - to know what will make them smile naturally. That's what I do, and I love it! I will get to know your whole family so well, and they will feel so comfortable with me, that their expressions will be perfect every time.
You see, time is ticking.... and it's never going to stop. .
First, Your Child Takes His or Her First Step. Next, Learns To Ride A Bike. Later, Gets A Driver's License. Graduates From High School. Gets Married. Starts A Family Of His or Her Own.!
We Can Stop The Clock!
Memories Are The Most Valuable Thing We Own.
"Our family's photo session with Stephen was a great experience! His easygoing manner and humor put us and our three teenagers at ease during the session. Also, Stephen has an artist's eye for light and location and he picked areas around our home which created great backgrounds. We have several beautiful photographs of our family thanks to Stephen."
I pride myself on becoming a family friend of every family I photograph. I've even had some clients invite me to their houses for birthday parties and such. You see, I didn't get into photography to get rich. Believe me, there are better (and easier) ways to make a fast buck. I actually went to college to become an engineer. I could be making a WHOLE lot of money if I'd stayed in that line of work.
I didn't become a photographer because I liked to take pictures. Don't get me wrong, I do like the "art" of photography, but that's NOT the reason I first picked up a camera. As a child, my mother and father didn't have many photographs taken. My entire time growing up, I can't remember a single photograph being taken of of us together.
Just suppose you call my studio and chat with me. Just suppose you decide you would like me to be your photographer. As long as you are one of the first 9 PEOPLE each month to call me (for your FREE chat), I will send you a 50% OFF certificate in the mail that will allow you to deduct 50% off the creation of your family portrait!
You don't have to make a big decision right now. You don't have to choose your photographer, you don't even have to decide that now is the time for your family portrait. Just take one small step toward holding onto your family's happiest moments RIGHT NOW.
Save 50% Off It's Creation. It's All Up To You.
You can call me any time. If I don't answer, just leave your name and number at the beep, and I'll call you back. If you're thinking of this family photograph as a GIFT FOR SOMEONE, let me know, so when I call back, I only ask for you, and don't spoil the surprise!
Yours FREE - Without Any Obligation..
Okay, by now you are probably considering having a family portrait created. You may even be considering choosing me as your photographer but I don't want you to make that decision just yet.
No matter who creates your photographs for you, you will need to make some decisions. What clothing should your family wear? Where should this photograph be created? How heavy should the makeup be on the ladies in the photograph?
There are a number of things to think about, and I will walk you through all of them personally.

Q: Do I need to have experience to join EBRC?
A: No, not at all — we welcome all levels. If you are new to this sport, you must complete one of our Learn To Row sessions in January, June or August. If you are experienced rower coming back to the sport, just contact us telling us about you, where you rowed, how long you have been away from the sport, and current fitness level.
A: It varies depending on the team but generally there's a team practicing every single day. Teams hold water workouts are three to four days a week, early in the morning (5:20am-7:30am), with informal land workouts the other three days. On Sundays, we rest and sometimes get waffles.
Q: Where do you meet/race?
A: Practices are at the Jack London Aquatic Center and often incorporate the surrounding jogging trails…rain or shine. The advanced team competes at national, international, and regional competitions, while the beginning and intermediate rowers focus primarily on regional competitions as far away as Sacramento and as nearby as the waters of our own home base, the Oakland Estuary.
A: We've got young and old in EBRC. Rowers range in age from 20's to late 70's and counting (masters level rowing starts at age 22). We also support a youth program at Oakland Tech High School.
Q: Do I need to have hella strong arms?
Q: Sounds great, but how much does it cost?
Dues cover just about everything you'll do at the boathouse, from the equipment to the dedicated coaching. (Compare that cost to a gym and/or personal trainer!) Dues do not cover regatta costs.
Q: Is this a serious team sport?
A: We take our dedication to the sport seriously, but would like to think we don't take ourselves too seriously.
Q: Are you ever looking for coxswains?
A: Absolutely. Drop what you're doing right now and come down to the JLAC. We'll meet you there at sunrise, carrying bags of gold and gratitude. Please yell at us, steadfast coxswain! We're incomplete without you.
Q: What are these ERGs I've heard so much about?
A: Ergometers are the indoor rowing machines we use to train off the water. They're invaluable for working on your technique and stamina, as well as measuring your fitness going into race season. We cannot tell a lie, however — we'd rather be on the water.
Q: What's it like rowing on the estuary?
Whether rowing in the shadow of those big Port of Oakland cranes or passing the Coast Guard cutters while reveille is playing, you can't beat watching the sun come up on the water. Come on down, the water's fine!
Q: Do you do any corporate teambuilding events?
A: Yes! Schedule an event with EBRC and come down with your coworkers to discover how working together helps move the boat on the water. We'd love to host your company and help you blend cooperation with competition, as well as show you a side of Oakland that few get to see.

public Progress(delIsDone doneFunction) { ... }

I need to pass it without creating it outside of creation:
public bool check() { return true }
Progress p = new Progress(check);

I need to do something like this:
  Progress p = new ProgressChecker(bool check(int currentProgress, int needProgress) {
    return currentProgress < needProgress;
  });

Where ProgressChecker is a class that have method that check progress.
In loop i execute this function to get result. If function return "true" it's mean that "Achievement geted" and i need to hold it.
Thx for help

A: In the constructor you can pass in a function like so:
ProgressChecker(Func<int,int,bool> checker)
That means you can pass a function into the constructor for ProgressChecker
public bool checker (int a, int b)
{
    return a < b;
}

var t = new ProgressChecker(checker);

EDIT:
If you want to use the delegate, then in the ProgressChecker class, the constructor must take in that delegate type:
private delIsDone delIsDone;

public ProgressChecker(delIsDone delIsDone)
{
    this.delIsDone = delIsDone;
}

You can the pass a delegate instance like so:
public class Program
{
    public delegate bool delIsDone(int curState, int needState);

    public static bool checkNumbers(int a, int b)
    {
        return a < b;
    }

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var t = new ProgressChecker(new delIsDone(checkNumbers));
    // OR var t = new ProgressChecker(new delIsDone((a, b) => { return a < b; }));
    }
}

A: You can also create Expression Trees, it is my snippet for it (it can be easly converted to your example)
        //easy way
        Expression<Action<int>> printExpr = (arg) => Console.WriteLine(arg);
        printExpr.Compile()(10);

        //hard way
        ParameterExpression param = Expression.Parameter(typeof(int), "arg");
        MethodCallExpression methodCall = Expression.Call
            (
                  typeof(Console).GetMethod("WriteLine", new[]
                  {
                      typeof(int)
                  }
             ),
             param
          );

        Expression.Lambda<Action<int>>(methodCall, param).Compile()(10); //execution

McDonogh Voices: One School. Many Perspectives—a multi-year series of learning and discussion opportunities was designed to give stories about our past a greater voice in McDonogh's present and future.
The series was developed by a group of McDonogh alumni historians and scholars working in partnership with administrators, staff, and trustees. During the inaugural year, McDonogh Voices focused on our understanding of history.
The nature of our programming will expand in the 2022-2023 school year beginning with in-person, small group campus tours. For the next two years, our popular webinar series will focus on life on campus over the past seven decades in the context of history.
Community Webinar Conversations
In conjunction with the School's approaching 150th anniversary celebration, McDonogh Voices will explore the alumni experience by decade. During each webinar session, historical experts will provide global, national, and regional context while alumni panelists will share their memories and perspectives having been students at that time. The virtual nature of the program allows for greater participation.
The 1950s and 1960s: Prosperity and Protest
Thursday, November 17 from 7:00-8:30 p.m.
Moderator: Carol Croxton, Director of Alumni Engagement
Historian: Ane Lintvedt, McDonogh Upper School History and Social Studies Teacher
Panelists: John Beever '50, Hank Chiles '56, John Sieverts '63, Mike Koppisch '60, and Tim Wright '66
The 1950s, often described as a period of conformity, stability, and prosperity gave way to the 1960s—one of the most tumultuous and divisive decades in history. The early 1950s witnessed the continuance of the Lamborn legacy as Doc Lamborn—the architect of McDonogh's survival during The Depression and World War II—yielded his office to his son, Bob, who revamped the School's academic program that would eventually eclipse the farm program.
In the 1960s, the war in Vietnam could not muster the national unity achieved by World War II. The heroic image of the American military eroded as did the perception of the uniform on McDonogh's campus and in the community. Thus began a decades-long metamorphosis of the literal cloth uniform into a metaphorical weave representing character. Also during this time, the first Black student is admitted to McDonogh under a plan of gradual integration that completes in 1970. Join us to hear alumni from the 1950s and 1960s recall their McDonogh experience.
View the recording.
The 1970s: Times of Transition
Thursday, January 19, 2023 from 7:00-8:30 p.m.
Historian: Louis Hyman '95, Professor and Director, Institute for Workplace Studies at Cornell University
The dawn of this decade saw the height of anti-Vietnam War protests—epitomized by the 1970 Kent State massacre—that presaged McDonogh's dropping of its semi-military tradition in 1971. McDonogh became fully integrated in 1970, and the first Black graduate walked across Childs Memorial Terrace. The economic challenges of the time helped fuel an equally major shift to coeducation in 1975. No other time in McDonogh's history witnessed decisions so dynamically reshaping the School's culture. Join us to hear alumni from the 1970s describe their time on campus.
The 1980s: An Era of Opportunity
Thursday, March 23, 2023 from 7:00-8:30 p.m.
Historian: Jessica Levy '04, Assistant Professor of History at Purchase College, SUNY
Two major transitions in the previous decade focused the School's attention within the boundaries of its vast campus, tending to the challenges of an increasingly diverse community. The burgeoning development of the county surrounding the School required McDonogh to begin an ambitious process of strategic thinking that has yielded the campus design we enjoy today. The 1980s also saw the evolution of arts programming, athletic opportunities, divisional rituals such as closing ceremonies, and an intentional focus on the academic and emotional needs specific to each division. Join us to learn more about the 1980s on campus.

UPDATE : Huma Abedin's Familial Muslim Brotherhood/Sisterhood Tree Gains Another Root
http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/07/28/update-huma-abedins-familial-muslim-brotherhoodsisterhood-tree-gains-another-root-addendum-to-huma-abedin-deputy-cos-to-hillary-clinton-inextricably-tied-to-muslim-brotherhoodsisterhood/
Huma Abedin's unwavering cheerleaders, back benchers, damsel-in-distress rescuers, and otherwise immovable supporters just keep digging themselves further into a hole. May they bury themselves into quicksand.
When average folks dig in their heels, regardless of the facts at hand, they can quietly fade into the woodwork when the crap hits the fan, but those in positions of national trust can ill afford to do so. Not only are their careers – as well as elected seats of power – at stake, but some may even be held legally liable for aiding known terror-tied individuals. This is particularly the case when they were given due diligence notice of said (terror) links. Feigning ignorance will not wash. Their just desserts can't come quick enough. Faster…faster.
Thus, with each new root inextricably tying and binding Huma Abedin to The Muslim Mafia the case against her, as well as her supporters (particularly the elected officials), becomes more severe.
Here is the latest familial linkage via Walid Shoebat , a reformed PLO terrorist, and a former Brotherhood member too -
Exclusive: Huma Abedin's Sister (Heba) also connected to Muslim Brotherhood
by Admin on JULY 27, 2012 in BLOG, GENERAL
"It has been learned that the sister of Huma Abedin (Heba Abedin), like Huma, has served on the Editorial Board of the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA) as an Assistant Editor; Heba continues to serve in that capacity after Huma left in late 2008 to work for Hillary Clinton at the State Department. Please note that in 2002, Heba was referred to on the IMMA website as "Heba A. Khaled" and not by her familial last name."
"Today, the spelling of Heba's last name is slightly different ("Khalid" instead of "Khaled")". Here is the full link -
http://www.shoebat.com/2012/07/27/exclusive-huma-abedins-sister-heba-also-connected-to-muslim-brotherhood/.
Much supportive evidence has already been amassed at my blog, and it is easily accessible - http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/07/24/huma-abedin-deputy-cos-to-hillary-clinton-inextricably-tied-to-the-muslim-brotherhoodsisterhood-embedded-report-addendum-tosenator-mccain-digs-himself-into-a-hole-via-his-indefensiblein/.
Clicking on all the embedded links is imperative to internalize the case against Huma Abedin. One building block cements the next.
While it may appear (temporarily) more comfortable to bury ones head in the sand, it is decidedly the case that staying buried entails many profound costs.
NOT dealing (by alerting everyone within ones circle of contacts) with this explosive information will exact an inordinately high price, not only for Americans living today, but for future generations to come.
Simply put, uprooting the Brotherhood cancer (exposing Huma Abedin is critical to this unique/immediate American struggle) will save the Republic. NOT doing so will have irrevocable and incalculable ramifications.
Everyone has a part to play. Just get busy.
Huma Abedin's Brotherhood Ties Are Not Just a Family Affair
Senator John McCain's claim that concerns about Huma Abedin are a smear based on "a few unspecified and unsubstantiated associations" proves more embarrassing by the day. In fact, to the extent it addressed Ms. Abedin, the letter sent to the State Department's inspector general by five House conservatives actually understated the case.
The letter averred that Abedin "has three family members — her late father, her mother and her brother — connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and/or organizations." It turns out, however, that Abedin herselfis directly connected to Abdullah Omar Naseef, a major Muslim Brotherhood figure involved in the financing of al-Qaeda. Abedin worked for a number of years at the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs as assistant editor of its journal. The IMMA was founded by Naseef, who remained active in it for decades, overlapping for several years with Abedin. Naseef was also secretary general of the Muslim World League in Saudi Arabia, perhaps the most significant Muslim Brotherhood organization in the world. In that connection, he founded the Rabita Trust, which is formally designated as a foreign terrorist organization under American law due to its support of al-Qaeda.
You ought to be able to stop right there.
A person is not required to have done anything wrong to be denied a high-ranking government position, or more immediately, the security clearance allowing access to classified information that is necessary to function in such a job. There simply need be associations, allegiances, or interests that establish a potential conflict of interest.
Government jobs and access to the nation's secrets are privileges, not rights. That is why the potential conflict needn't stem from one's own associations with hostile foreign countries, organizations, or persons. Vicarious associations, such as one's parents' connections to troublesome persons and organizations, are sufficient to create a potential conflict.
In this instance, however, before you even start probing the extensive, disturbing Brotherhood ties of her family members, Huma Abedin should have been ineligible for any significant government position based on her own personal and longstanding connection to Naseef's organization.
Specifically, Ms. Abedeen was affiliated with the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs, where she was assistant editor of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs. The journal was the IMMA's raison d'etre. Abedin held the position of assistant editor from 1996 through 2008 — from when she began working as an intern in the Clinton White House until shortly before she took her current position as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's deputy chief of staff.
The IMMA was founded in the late 1970s by Abdullah Omar Naseef, who was then the vice president of the prestigious King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia. The IMMA's chief product was to be its journal. For the important position of managing editor, Naseef recruited his fellow academic Zyed Abedin, who had been a visiting professor at the university in the early 1970s.
To join the IMMA, Dr. Abedin moved his family, including infant daughter Huma (born in 1976), to Saudi Arabia from Kalamazoo, Michigan. Zyed's wife, Saleha Mahmood Abedin (Huma's mother), is also an academic and worked for the journal from its inception. She would eventually take it over after her husband died in 1993, and she remains its editor to this day. Huma Abedin's brother Hassan, another academic, is an associate editor at the journal.
The journal began publishing in 1979. For its initial edition, Abdullah Omar Naseef — identified in the masthead as "Chairman, Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs" — penned a brief introduction relating the IMMA's vision for the journal. Zyed Abedin appeared as managing editor in the journal's second edition in 1979, proclaiming in a short introduction his "deep appreciation to H.E. Dr. Abdullah O. Naseef, President, King Abdulaziz University, for his continued guidance, support, and encouragement." (I am indebted to the Center for Security Policy, which obtained some copies of the journal, going back many years.)
Not long after the journal started, Naseef became the secretary general of the Muslim World League, the Saudi-financed global propagation enterprise by which the Muslim Brotherhood's virulently anti-Western brand of Islamist ideology is seeded throughout the world, very much including in the United States.
We are not talking here about some random imam in the dizzying alphabet soup of Islamist entities. In the pantheon of Islamic supremacism, there are few positions more critical than secretary general of the Muslim World League. In fact, one of the MWL's founders was Sa'id Ramadan, the right-hand and son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, the Brotherhood's legendary founder.
The MWL manages the "civilization jihad" — the Brotherhood's commitment to destroy the West from within, and to "conquer" it by sharia proselytism (or dawa), as Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, the Brotherhood's top sharia jurist, puts it.
Nevertheless, the MWL has a long history of deep involvement in violent jihad as well.
It was under MWL auspices in 1988 that Naseef created a "charity" called the Rabita Trust. The scare-quotes around "charity" are intentional. To direct the Rabita Trust, Naseef selected Wael Hamza Jalaidan. A few years earlier, Jalaidan had joined with Osama bin Laden to form al-Qaeda.
This would surprise you only if you waste your time listening to John McCain, Version 2012 — as opposed to John McCain, Version 2011, who professed himself "unalterably opposed" to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Under the Brotherhood's interpretation of sharia, which is explained in such works as Reliance of the Traveller: A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law, all Muslims are supposed to donate a portion of their income. This obligation, known as zakat, is usually referred to as "charity" by Islamists and their Western pom-pom waivers. But it is not charity; it is fortification of the ummah – the notional global community of Muslims.
As Reliance instructs, zakat can only be given to Muslims, and one-eighth of it is supposed to be donated to "those fighting for Allah, meaning people engaged in Islamic military operations for whom no salary has been allotted in the army roster." Remember that the next time you hear the ubiquitous claim that Muslim charities are being misused as "fronts" for terrorism. This is not a "misuse" and they are not "fronts." Under sharia, the streaming of donations to violent jihadists is quite intentional.
A month after the 9/11 attacks, Naseef's Rabitah Trust was formally designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the United States government. Ultimately, branches of the al-Haramain Islamic Foundationand the International Islamic Relief Organization – other "charities" with roots in the MWL — were also designated as foreign terrorist organizations under federal law. This, too, should have not been a surprise. In 2003, in connection with a terrorism prosecution in Chicago, the Justice Department proffered that Osama bin Laden had told his aide Jamal al-Fadl that the Muslim World League was one of al-Qaeda's three top funding sources. (Fadl later renounced al-Qaeda and cooperated with federal prosecutors.)
Throughout the time that he ran the MWL and the Rabita Trust, Naseef kept his hand in at the IMMA. In fact, he continued to be listed on the masthead as a member of the "advisory editorial board" at the IMMA's journal until 2003. We might hazard a guess why his name disappeared after that: in 2004, he was named as a defendant in the civil case brought by victims of the 9/11 atrocities. (In 2010, a federal court dropped him from the suit — not because he was found uninvolved, but because a judge reasoned the American court lacked personal jurisdiction over him.)
Huma Abedin was affiliated with the IMMA's journal for a dozen years, from 1996 through 2008. She overlapped with its founder, Naseef, for at least seven years — it could be more, but I am assuming for argument's sake that Naseef had no further involvement in his institute once his name was removed from the masthead.
The case against Ms. Abedin's suitability for a high-level position with access to the nation's secrets gets much worse if you add in her family ties.
To summarize what I've already outlined here at Ordered Liberty: her parents were recruited by Naseef to head up the IMMA; her mother is an active member of Muslim Brotherhood organizations — including the Muslim Sisterhood and two entities that are part of Sheikh Qaradawi's Union of Good, another designated terrorist organization; there is persuasive evidence that her father was a member of the Brotherhood — e.g., the intimate tie to Naseef and his widow's membership in the Muslim Sisterhood (which is substantially comprised of wives and female relatives of prominent Muslim Brothers); her mother is a tireless advocate of sharia law as preached by Qaradawi and the Brotherhood; and her brother, who is also affiliated with the IMMA's journal, was a fellow at an Islamist institute (the Oxford Center for Islamic Studies) on whose board sat both Naseef and Qaradawi.
Nevertheless, the family ties to the Brotherhood only further elucidate what is already patent: Huma Abedin's connection to Abdullah Omar Naseef, by itself, would have been more than enough justification to deny her a security clearance. That would have made it inconceivable that she could serve as deputy chief of staff to the secretary of state.
Ms. Abedin has very disturbing connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. Though she is not a policymaker, she is an important adviser, and during her three-year tenure, federal government policy has radically shifted in the Brotherhood's favor, to the point that the Obama administration is not only embracing the previously shunned Brotherhood but issuing visas to members of formally designated terrorist organizations.
The question is not whether the five House conservatives were off-base in asking for an investigation into ties between administration officials and Islamist organizations. The question is why the other 430 members of the House haven't joined them — and why John McCain, John Boehner, and other Republican establishment luminaries are championing the Muslim Brotherhood's side of the dispute.

HNZ causing huge harm say Drug Foundation
Oct 27, 2016 | News
Yet hundreds of tenants have been evicted from their state homes, after Housing New Zealand detected tiny traces of methamphetamine in them, and are often made to pay tens of thousands of dollars in clean up fees.
The ministry has just published new guidelines saying meth can be found at three to four times higher than the level being used as a reason to evict tenants.
Director of protection, regulation and assurance, Dr Stewart Jessamine, said the ministry had repeatedly made clear it had concerns about the way Housing New Zealand was using the ministry's guidelines.
"The guidelines are very clear – that they are only for use in houses where methamphetamine has been manufactured. We have pointed out (to Housing New Zealand) and communicated that these guidelines are clearly for use in houses where meth has been manufactured," Dr Jessamine said.
Drug Foundation executive director Ross Bell said Housing New Zealand had caused a huge amount of harm by knowingly misusing the guidelines.
"Housing New Zealand have evicted people out of HNZ homes, out of social housing, they have blacklisted these tenants for 12 months and they knew these guidelines were wrong," Mr Bell said.
"What do they do with the tenants that they've evicted, what do they do with the tenants who have been blacklisted, what do they do with the tenants who have been given $20,000 -$40,000 clean up bills?
"What are Housing New Zealand now going to do?"
Mr Bell said children had even been removed from their parents on the basis of the misused tests.
