Ohio North to I 80 West
God has blessed me with a dear friend whose face I have not seen "live" in 34 years. We left our respective high schools and ended up at a small Christian college in central Ohio. Going separate ways after college, we reconnected on Facebook 30-some years later.
Beth lives in Eugene, Oregon. I'm in Akron, Ohio. I could hop in my Honda go a few miles north and get on the Ohio turnpike (I-80) and head west. With my Eas-Z Pass in check, I would not need change for tolls. And 40 hours later..I could squeeze her face, embrace her, share smiles and cuppas.
A dream that warms my heart...but for now, I must savor her spirit from afar.
Beth is a kindred spirit. Beth and I are both social workers by training...and embrace that profession. We both love reading, books, thoughts, and ideas. We are both very spiritual people with a love for our Creator. We both crave nature, silence, and solitude...as well as journaling and cuppas of coffee or tea with a dear friend or alone. We are both comfortable in our own skin in our mid-50s after doing a lot of personal work and allowing God to mold us into the person He intended us to be, which sometimes means taking roads less traveled.
She has the practice of gratitude down to a science! Who would doubt that the closest person to her is named Joy?????!!!! And her letters and posts always make me smile and feel refreshed. There's so much of each us to experience and share with each other which is challenging at a distance...which can only be fully appreciated face to face. But for now I treasure the dear heart and friend she is to me. (Stills include some items she sent me in a birthday care package including a homemade card she made, an issue of Kinfolk, a handwritten letter, plus some other treats. Texture used on all images: Kim Klassen's waterfront23 for Texture Tuesday.)
By the way, because of Beth living where she lives, rooted for the Seahawks in the Super Bowl! Must've been why they won! She roots for my Mountaineers...and I root for her Ducks!

External fellowships exist for recent graduates in all fields and with a broad range of interests. There is also a smaller number of external fellowships available to current students. These fellowships are all highly competitive, but SLU students with a strong academic record and demonstrated interest in the fellowship's focus should certainly consider applying.
To maximize your chances of success, it is important to prepare well in advance (during junior year, at the latest), researching different fellowships, including their missions, terms, and qualifications, and talking with your academic advisor, any additional mentors in your chosen field, and the Associate Dean for Academic Advising Programs (firstname.lastname@example.com).
A list of some of the most prominent fellowships is maintained on the Research and Experiential Learning opportunities website, but note that this is only a partial sampling of the many options that exist: https://www.stlawu.edu/research-and-experiential-learning-opportunities/scholarship-fellowship-and-grant-information

For the full financial year, the bank's net income increased 10 per cent to Rs 1,503 crore.
"We took an MTM (mark to market) hit of Rs 43 crore in the quarter. Also, we have been reasonably conservative in provisions for existing loans. Last year for the same quarter we had very good treasury performance and hence the base was higher. If you take the implications of all these three, it is an accounting for the difference," Executive Vice-Chairman and Managing Director Uday Kotak said, adding that higher tax also dragged profit down.
However, provision was down to Rs 6.19 crore as against Rs 37.43 crore in the year-ago quarter.
On a consolidated basis, the bank saw a 13 per cent rise in net profit to Rs 2,465 crore for the full year as against Rs 2,188 crore last year.
Net interest income (NII) for the quarter rose 7 per cent to Rs 967 crore and 16 per cent to Rs 3,720 crore for the full year.
The net interest margin for the full year was at 4.9 per cent as against 4.65 per cent last year. Kotak said he expects the NIM to be at over 4.5 per cent this fiscal.
Gross non-performing assets (NPAs) in the quarter rose to 1.98 per cent from 1.55 per cent, while net NPAs almost doubled to 1.08 per cent from 0.64 per cent.
However, Kotak said bad loans are under control and "at least they are seeing some stabilisation of non-performing assets. From here on, we are hoping for some improvement in the NPA into the next year."
Kotak said he expected the economy to improve and clip at 5-5.5 per cent this year.
Advances grew 9 per cent to Rs 53,028 crore. Excluding commercial vehicle and commercial equipment loans, growth in advances was 17 per cent.
On growth in CV/CE, Kotak said the segment will perform better this year. "But we will wait for more evidence before we really go for full steam," he said.
"Depending on the political and economic situation, I would be confident to say that we will see loan growth of 15-20 per cent next year," Kotak said.
Savings deposits as on March 31 grew by 39 per cent to Rs 10,087 crore from Rs 7,268 crore.
Deposits as on March 31 were up 16 per cent year-on-year to Rs 59,072 crore from Rs 51,029 crore.
Capital adequacy ratio of the bank as per Basel III was 18.83 per cent and Tier I ratio at 17.77 per cent.
Restructured loans considered standard stood at Rs 10 crore.
The bank opened 70 branches in the quarter and its total branch network stands at 605 as at end March. It plans take the network to 715 by the end of this fiscal and 1,000 by end 2016.
When asked about Kotak Group plans to buy a stake in MCX, Kotak said, "We are always open to new ideas and growth opportunities for our bank. Therefore, if there is an appropriate opportunity we will certainly look at all opportunities."

Bali is an island and province of Indonesia. The province includes the island of Bali and a few smaller neighbouring islands, notably Nusa Penida. It is located at the westernmost end of the Lesser Sunda Islands, between Java to the west and Lombok to the east. Its capital of Denpasar is located at the southern part of the island.
Bali is the largest tourist destination in the country and is renowned for its highly developed arts, including traditional and modern dance, sculpture, painting, leather, metalworking, and music. Since the late 20th century, the province has had a rise in tourism. Bali is part of the Coral Triangle, the area with the highest biodiversity of marine species. In this area alone over 500 reef building coral species can be found. For comparison, this is about 7 times as many as in the entire Caribbean.There is a wide range of dive sites with high quality reefs, all with their own specific attractions.

For those of you who don't know, I've been in Vegas for the past 2 weeks; soaking in the sun, drinking extortionately priced cocktails and ogling at beautifully slutty women. It was great. And now, it's disgustingly depressing to be back as reality starts to set in…
While I was away I received a missed call on my mobile from my tenant. I knew it had to be bad news because tenants don't call landlords while their on holiday unless it's desperately important. I didn't want to overly concern myself with any work related shit while I was pimping myself in Vegas, so I didn't bother returning my tenant's call, I just sent him a text saying, "I'm still on Holiday, will call you in 2 days times when I return", hoping the house hadn't burnt down.
When I returned home there was a letter waiting for me from my tenant. In summary,
I hope you re well. I was trying to get a hold of you over the past 2 days, but I assume you were still on holiday.
I just wanted to let you know I'm terminating our tenancy agreement as I'm purchasing a house, which should be completed this month. I'm giving you a month's notice, so I'm putting an initial date for leave on the 25th of June 2010.
Well, at least the house remains in tact. But, still, what a bag of SHIT! If there was one tenant I could keep forever, it would be that one! The guy's a doctor (working professional) and he pays by standing order every month, on time! He's basically the perfect tenant!! Anyways, now I have to waste time trying to find new tenants that aren't scumbags. What a f'ing bore!!
Sidenote, the tenant is currently on a periodic tenancy, hence why his one month notice was completely valid.
Let's start an experiment
While I'm in this current predicament, I figure I may as well kick start an experiment. I previously completed a successful experiment that I documented, where I found tenants without the aid of a letting agent by using free methods of marketing. You can read about that experiment and read deeper into the methods I used to Find Tenants Without A Letting Agent. A few people have told me that they copied the steps I took and they also managed to successfully find tenants, which was great to hear!!
My new experiment to find tenants is going to be slightly different, even though I'm still going to find tenants without using highstreet letting agents. Instead, I'm going to use one of the many "virtual letting agents" online, that give landlords access to market their vacant BTL property onto the most popular UK property portals on the internet. These virtual letting agents are online companies that market landlords properties across the biggest portals online (e.g. Rightmove and Findaproperty) for a relatively small fee. To find out more about what I'm talking about and to view a list of these virtual letting agents, go here, How To Advertise Your BTL For Tenants On The Biggest Property Portals Online.
I'm basically going to choose an online agent from that list, based on which I believe to be currently offering the best value. My idea of best value is simple. It's the website that will get my property across the most popular property portals across the internet for the smallest fee. From what I've seen, the average price seems to be £50. For that amount, the online agents will market your property across the biggest portals online until your property is let. That's still a hell of a lot cheaper than highstreet agents!!! Bearing in mind, most highstreet agents these days advertise and find tenants on these portals anyways, but charge 10x more for the privilege.
I'll document my experience, and I'll let you know if the website I end up using ends of being successful for me! Who knows, if the website works for me, you may also want to use their services…
A few snaps…
Just to keep things a little sexy, here are a few pics I took on my phone from Vegas, incase you happen to give a shit…

Look, here's the deal: the concept of "persistence of vision" was discredited decades ago. People who write about it and tell me it's a very important concept are dumb. It's not even a coherent idea, which tells me these "writers" are just taking the ideas handed down to them from other people and pretending to understand them -- and then they are "teaching" those ideas as if they were true. Makes one wonder what else they are teaching.
So, in the interest of public service I'm going to start calling people out on it. I'm going to start pointing and laughing at people who write about "persistence of vision" as if it were still a valid idea.
Just so you understand how long this has been discredited as an idea:
That paper was published in the Journal of Film and Video in 1993, and it complains that a previous paper -- published in 1978 -- hasn't put a dent in the constant renewal of this discredited notion. They point out it really has been proved wrong SINCE 1912, yet keeps returning.
So, who's "teaching" about the importance of "persistence of vision" today?
Understanding Video: A Video Primer for Photographers
by The Luminous Landscape.
"Because of something called the "persistence of vision" (the human eye hangs onto what it sees for a small while) these two fields merge in our brains. Incidentally, it's this persistence of vision that allows us to see a 24 frame per second movie as continuous motion rather than a series of flickering still images."That's simply not true. Stop it, please. Ask yourself: why do I think this is true? Has anyone ever shown me that it's true? Or have I just heard it or read it somewhere -- and believed it? If you can't verify it, why are you teaching it? What do you mean by images "merging" in our brain? How do you know that? What evidence do you have for it? If there's none, please stop publishing it.

Each will receive $35,000 for use in final year of graduate studies
December 3, 2015
Media Contact: Phil Sneiderman
Office: 443-997-9907/Cell: 410-299-7462
firstname.lastname@example.com On Twitter @filroy
Five Johns Hopkins graduate students, recently named to the 2016 class of Siebel Scholars, are each pursuing bioengineering projects that could lead to important new diagnostic and treatment advances in healthcare. The merit-based Siebel program has recognized their research skills, academic achievements and leadership qualities by providing $35,000 to each of the five PhD candidates for use in his or her final year of graduate studies.
In 2000, the Siebel Scholars program was founded by the Siebel Foundation to recognize the most talented students at some of the world's leading graduate schools annually in the fields of business, computer science, bioengineering and, most recently, energy science. A key goal is to help move promising research beyond academic settings and apply it to critical worldwide challenges. More than 1,000 Siebel Scholars are active today in the program, which seeks to nurture leadership, academic achievement, and the collaborative search for solutions to the world's most pressing problems.
The 2016 Johns Hopkins honorees were among 93 students selected from prominent graduate schools in the United States, China, Italy, and France, including Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Stanford, University of Chicago, Carnegie Mellon and Northwestern.
At Johns Hopkins, the Siebel Scholars program supports graduate students involved in bioengineering studies. Four of this year's recipients are pursuing their doctoral degrees within the university's Department of Biomedical Engineering, which is shared by the School of Medicine and the Whiting School of Engineering. A fifth is working toward a doctorate within the Whiting School's Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
The deans of their respective schools choose the Siebel Scholars on the basis of outstanding academic achievement and demonstrated leadership. On average, Siebel Scholars rank in the top 5 percent of their class, many within the top 1 percent.
"Having the Siebel Foundation recognize our bioengineering program as among the nation's best is an honor," said Ed Schlesinger, the Benjamin T. Rome Dean of the Whiting School. "This year's cohort of Siebel Scholars is engaged in research in areas that hold great promise in a wide variety of fields—all of which are directed at solving critical societal problems. The Siebel Scholars program emphasizes entrepreneurship, translation, and collaboration, all of which are hallmarks of a Johns Hopkins education. We are grateful for the foundation's support."
The 2016 Johns Hopkins Siebel Scholar honorees are:
- Sebastian F. Barreto Ortiz, from Bogota, Colombia, completed his undergraduate studies at Lafayette College in Easton, Pa. There, he initiated a socioeconomic entrepreneurship project in Honduras that was recognized by former President Bill Clinton during the Clinton Global Initiative Conference. At Johns Hopkins, Barreto entered the doctoral program in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering under the supervision of Sharon Gerecht, an associate professor whose team is developing human blood vessels in the lab to replace damaged or diseased vessels in patients. In Gerecht's lab, Barreto engineered the first self-standing mid-sized vascular construct (less than 1 millimeter in diameter), which could eventually connect tiny capillaries with much larger lab-grown vessels. Outside the lab, he has led several programs to generate ties among graduate students and alumni in his department. He is also a personal trainer at the Johns Hopkins Recreation Center, an avid volleyball player, and a triathlete.
- Hao Dang, who grew up in the city of Changzhou in China, earned his undergraduate degree at Shanghai Jiao Tong University before beginning his PhD studies in biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins. His emphasis has been on advanced X-ray CT imaging for diagnosis and image-guided interventions. His faculty advisors are Jeffrey H. Siewerdsen, a professor of biomedical engineering, and J. Webster Stayman, an assistant professor in the same department. Dang's research has focused on development of a small, portable CT scanner that can easily assess possible head injuries in hospital intensive care units, as well as in external locations such as sports stadiums and military sites. Dang has also been active in the BME EDGE organization for graduate students. He served as lead organizer of the group's university-wide career fair and panel discussion, which drew more than 400 attendees. He also has volunteered as a referee at a robotics competition for Baltimore City Public Schools students.
- Shadi Eshghi, who is from Iran, received her undergraduate degree from Isfahan University of Technology, located in her hometown. At Johns Hopkins, she is seeking her PhD under the supervision of Hui Zhang, an associate professor of pathology, and Xingde Li, a professor of biomedical engineering. Eshghi's research has been directed at sugar molecules called glycans, which are attached to the majority of the proteins in living cells. Glycans undergo abnormal changes in almost all human diseases and hence could give doctors an early hint that cancer metastasis, heart disease, and other health problems are imminent. Eshghi has been developing experimental and computational tools and techniques to pick up these clues using mass spectrometry. Outside the lab, Eshghi co-founded the Graduate Women Empowerment Network, or GWEN, to support and advance the careers of women graduates in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) fields.
- David Herzfeld, a native of Grafton, Wis., earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in biomedical engineering at Marquette University in Milwaukee. He has remained in this field at Johns Hopkins, pursuing his doctorate under the supervision of Reza Shadmehr, a professor of biomedical engineering and neuroscience. Herzfeld's research aims at unraveling how the cerebellum—the oldest part of the human brain—directs motor control and motor learning. His particular interest is in how limbs and eyes move. His research has determined that movement is not guided by individual neurons but by a combined response across a population of cells. He also has demonstrated that people who are learning a new task store memories of their past errors to make it easier to relearn a task at a future time. Herzfeld also engages in public service activities by volunteering as a community theatre lighting designer and by tutoring math students at Baltimore's Dunbar High School.
- Dong Jin Shin was born in Seoul, South Korea, and grew up in New Zealand. He traveled to the United Stated to complete his undergraduate studies at Duke University. At Johns Hopkins, he enrolled in the biomedical engineering doctoral degree program and became a fellow at the university's Institute for NanoBioTechnology. His research in droplet magnetofluidics and biomedical instrumentation is supervised by Jeff Tza-Huei Wang, a professor of mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering. Shin's aim has been to build small, low-cost lab-on-a-chip devices that can perform diagnostic tests at a point-of-care that produce results in an hour or less. He recently unveiled a prototype that can detect chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease, within 30 minutes. He believes this technology could eventually be used to detect cancer biomarkers as well as infectious diseases such as strep throat and the flu. Outside the lab, Shin has served as president of Johns Hopkins' Korean Graduate Students Association.
"It is my great pleasure to congratulate the Siebel Scholars Class of 2016 and to welcome them to this ever-growing, lifelong community," said Thomas M. Siebel, chairman of the Siebel Scholars Foundation.

Meet Angel Macias of California Families in Focus in Long Beach
Today we'd like to introduce you to Angel Macias.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don't you give us some details about you and your story.
I was born in Mexico and my mother brought my two brothers, my sister and I to the United States in 1975. My father had already traveled to California, found a job in a landscaping business, had rented a two bedroom apartment in Culver City and was waiting for us.
Like many other Mexican families, my family was in search of the "American Dream" so they left their hometown of Zacatecas and traveled to "El Norte" (The North). The journey to El Norte proved to be a huge challenge and one that I will never forget. I was only five years old but I remember that I almost died! We attempted to cross the border ten times, ten different ways, with a "coyote" (man who gets paid to get people across the U.S. border) I had a terrible cough and we kept getting caught because of my cough. In order for us not to get caught again, my mother put her scarf around my mouth so that the immigration officers wouldn't hear me but she was so scared that she didn't realize that she covered my nose as well. She almost suffocated me, all I remember is waking up in a jail cell with lots of bunk beds and my little brother yelling out of the cell "tengo hambre" (I'm hungry). After the 10th attempt, we made it and we were heading to Los Angeles, California with big dreams. A few people that were part of our group made it across the border and a few died trying, one boy drowned, a young woman was raped and murdered and others just couldn't go on due to lack of money or hope.
Thanks to my father's boss who had immigrated to the U.S. from Japan with his family long before us, we quickly became acclimated to our new home and picked up a few Japanese words and traditions along the way. I started kindergarten immediately! I remember being made fun of at school because of the way I was dressed and because I didn't speak English. I was always being sent to the nurse with a stomach ache and one day she asked me in Spanish what was going on and I told her the kids made fun of me and called me names because I didn't speak English and she took me to the school library and introduced me to my English teacher…Dr. Seuss! The nurse recommended that I be sent to the library for one hour on a daily basis, she became my bestest friend and Dr. Seuss and I started a long relationship. I wasn't to fond of school but I would eagerly wait for the clock to signal the start of my Dr. Seuss hour. As soon as it was time, I would jump out of my seat, rush to the library, put on my headphones, pop in the cassette that went with the book, press play and follow along, sometimes so loud that the librarian would tap me on the shoulder, put her index finger to her lips and signal for me to quiet down. I was speaking English in no time and sometimes rhyming too. The kids still bullied me and called me names because of the way I dressed and because I wasn't pretty or feminine girl. Somethings were just out of my control and there was nothing I could do but fight, so I did and I got in trouble and suspended all the time.
As I grew up, things really got out of control, the bills started piling up so my mother with her second-grade schooling had to get a few low paying and degrading jobs to help make ends meet often working Monday-Sunday, sun up to sun down. My father became an alcoholic and there was domestic violence in our house, among other issues such as neglect and sexual abuse from male relatives. We were latch key kids and I was pulled out of school for months so I could stay home and babysit my brothers and sister. My father preferred it that way because he would say that I was never going to amount to anything and that I was an idiot just like my mother so school was a waste of time. My brothers and I would look out the window and watch the older guys hanging out, drinking, smoking and having fun with the pretty girls and we would tell each other that when we grew up we wanted to be just like them because they were cool, people respected them and they didn't have to answer to anyone. A few years later we became that group but what we didn't see when we were kids was the "dirt you had to do to be part of the group" (bad stuff) I became a teen mom at the age of 16. Four daughters later, that lifestyle wasn't for me anymore and I moved Long Beach with my then boyfriend to start a new life but domestic violence struck again but this time in my own home. Six years later, I left that abusive relationship that almost killed me. I am one of the few that can say I am a survivor.
With a new lease on life and a new perspective, I started attending Long Beach City College and got my General Education Diploma and picked up credits for my Human Development Degree, I became a certified health educator and started teaching all over Long Beach and Los Angeles. I also became a proud U.S. Citizen. Contemplating where I had came from, the adversities that I had overcome, my mission in life was clear and I felt unstoppable. After working for a few reputable organizations and a few elected officials I started feeling like I wasn't being true to my mission, I decided to start my own nonprofit organization California Families in Focus and with the help of my co-founder Robert Spieth, lots of volunteers and supporters, we were incorporated in April of 2002. Since then, we have provided an array of programs, projects, and services for youth and their families to achieve empowerment and purpose. Because of my background, I have been asked to speak all across the State of California at schools, prisons and community events. I am also an ordained minister and I love performing wedding ceremonies and being part of such a personal and joyous occasion is an honor for me.
We're always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we've spoken with enough people to know that it's not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
The road to becoming the CEO of California Families in Focus has not been smooth and there have been lots of struggles along the way, but I believe that the struggles we face during our journey to find our mission in life are good, why? Because they are learning experiences that challenge us to do better and to readjust our sails if we are heading in the wrong direction.
When I decided to create California Families in Focus, finding board members and convincing them to join a nonprofit that was new was a challenge but we were blessed to choose a great team and they all accepted and together we created a vision and goals that we all believed in and 17 years later I am still friends with the original members and they are very supportive of everything we do.
Another ongoing challenge is raising funding to address every issue that we identify in our community, especially with our youth and families because for California Families in Focus, there are many community issues and everything is urgent! But thanks to our consistency and follow through we have built a great reputation of the "Can do" attitude and for genuinely caring for our community, which is very diverse and beautiful, Long Beach is one of the most diverse Cities in Southern California and the projects, programs, and events must be innovative and take all of our communities into consideration in order to be successful in meeting their needs. We have to do constant surveys and forums to ask our community what they need instead of telling them what they need.
We are still working on the funding part because as a nonprofit that is always a challenge, especially when you are 100% volunteer run. For the past year, we have revisited that issues and discussed the benefits of having a consistent staff and we envision having paid staff in the near future, which will entail raising lots of funding to be able to pay salaries and benefits but we feel that we are well positioned to step up to the next level.
The biggest obstacle by far was losing my wife and partner of 17 years Kimberly Maddox, who not only encouraged me when I was just starting the organization but she helped me keep it running for many years and besides money, she poured her heart and soul into making it into a reputable organization. I had finally found my soul mate and we were married in 2008, together we raised my four daughters and adopted my brother's son and daughter because they had become orphaned when my brother was brutally murdered in Sacramento on September 28, 2013, by a group of gang members. Soon after we adopted the kids, my wife decided to retire from the Long Beach Police Department in October of 2014 so that she could help me raise the kids. We bought a house and moved to Sacramento and left everything behind. In December of 2014, my wife was diagnosed with stage IIIC ovarian cancer and I found myself taking care of the adopted kids and my sick wife. After numerous surgeries, chemotherapy and trying everything imaginable to save her life, my wife died on September 12, 2016.
17 years of a wonderful and happy life and in the blink of an eye, she was gone! I was lost without her, dazed and confused, uncertain about my future and angry at the world. It took lots of different types of therapy and grief counseling for me to want to live life again. I now feel like I have an additional mission to live for and a legacy to leave behind when I am gone so I live life to the fullest, I treat people with kindness and respect and I work hard at creating a better world for our future generations and teaching our youth to do the same.
California Families in Focus is an ethical, well respected 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization and we are very proud and grateful for all of the community support and all of the blessings that constantly come our way.
So let's switch gears a bit and go into the California Families in Focus story. Tell us more about the organization.
California Families in Focus is a Nationally recognized 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that has been providing services for youth and their families for over 25 years but officially became incorporated in April of 2002.

Besides the self-esteem bag, the women are escorted to their tables and treated like queens for a day and everyone enjoys a delicious brunch. December 21, 2019. This is an invitation-only event
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
Most people believe that if they are at the right place at the right time, they are lucky and if they are in the wrong place at the wrong time, they are unlucky.
I believe that we all have a destiny, I believe in karma and that every event and circumstance shape us to be the people that we end up being.
I look back at my life and say to myself, you've had a rough life…but how much of that were you responsible for bringing into your life based on your decisions. I have to take personal responsibility for a lot of things that happened in my life because I chose to ignore my gut feeling or my intuition.
Now, if I don't know how to proceed or if I don't know the answer to something, I pray, meditate and ask for guidance and I usually make the right decisions.

Getting in touch: VoyageLA is built on recommendations from the community; it's how we uncover hidden gems, so if you know someone who deserves recognition please let us know here.
California Families in Focus is proud to announce the launch of the Detective Kimberly Maddox Youth Scholarship Program and congratulate our first recipient, Ms. Michelle Flores, who is attending CSULB, which is the University that Detective Maddox attended.
We are proud and honored to bestow this historic award to Ms. Flores for her involvement in the community and wish her continued success reaching her educational goals.
Detective Kimberly Maddox was born in Jacksonville Florida on November 13, 1958 and moved to Los Angeles California in her teenage years. She attended Los Angeles High School and due to her extraordinary athletic abilities in basketball, she received a full scholarship to attend CSULB.
Kim still ranks among the top four performers in all of the key career categories: points (1775), assist (461), field goals (779) and steals (219). She played for the Women's U.S. National Team during its 1978 tour of the Orient. She was a member of the 1980 Women's Olympic team, but that team ultimately did not participate in the Olympic Games because of the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. But Kim also participated in the 1984 Olympic trials.
Kim was an amazing basketball player who possessed phenomenal skills and in 1989 she was inducted into Long Beach State's Hall of Fame for playing on their female basketball team, the 49ers.
Kim served as Co-President of Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride, Inc. and as Board Chair of California Families in Focus, she held many jobs in Los Angeles and Long Beach; but her favourite position was being a detective for the Long Beach Police Department.
Kim, a true leader with an always-positive outlook, retired from the police force on October 9, 2014 after more than 25 years of service as both a patrol officer and detective. After her retirement, Kim sought to assist her wife, Angel Macias, in taking care of her murdered brother's two children. Angel Macias is the CEO and Founder of the local non-profit California Families in Focus and is very active with the City of Long Beach and the GLBTQ community focussing on the youth.
Not long after retiring and moving to Sacramento to be with her wife, Kim was diagnosed with Stage IIIC ovarian cancer on December 5, 2014. She fought hard with dignity and grace, and on September 12, 2016, Kim lost her battle to Cancer and passed away in Mexico while undergoing alternative cancer treatment.
Kim lived life to the fullest and no one can argue that she had one of the biggest hearts and would never hesitate to help those in need. That was her daily mission. Kim's passion and compassion earned her great accolades and awards throughout the community; but her greatest love was spending quality time with her wife and family. She was the mother of 6 beautiful children and 5 grandchildren – all whom she adored and who adored her.
Kim loved to travel and had a knack for making friends everywhere she went. Kim's legacy will live on through her wife and children, the Kimberly Maddox Youth Scholarship Program and her footprint will forever be engraved in the City of Long Beach.
We will be having an annual banquet where we will award 3-4 deserving students a $1000-$3000 scholarship.
CFF IRS REINSTATEMENT: California Families in Focus is celebrating and would like to thank Ms. Stephanie Jones Taylor at the IRS department for helping us get retroactive reinstatement going back to it's original filing date of April 2002!

I kept my daughter home one more day to rest as there are so many germs flying around I didn't want her to go to school not feeling at least 90% better. Tomorrow she will go for sure as she really misses her friends!
After I got her dressed this morning and did a dry run with my packing...(I really want to take my suitcase ON the plane with me...) she said "cup", as she wanted something to drink. I told her as soon as we get downstairs I will get her something to drink.
Yes, believe it or not, I did get everything to fit in!
I don't think we were in the family room two minutes when she sat down on the sofa and said, "cup me"! I said, "I know you want something to drink, I'm getting it"...to which she replied, "yeah"!We do not get many two word combinations, but when we do it is not only incredible, but 100% spoken with a purpose!
She is full of surprises and I will definitely be thinking about this gift when I am running 13.1 miles in her honor on Sunday. Who knows, I may be at the point somewhere along the run where the only words that come out of my mouth will be "Cup...me"...as I will be one thirsty girl!
Here is a quote for today...
I love those random memories that make me smile no matter what is going on in my life right now- Author Unknown

Donut Savant is one of the boutique fried gooderies of the East Bay, owned by Laurel Davis. Small in size and sparse in decor, this donut shop boasts full flavor donuts, such as the Thai Dust, the Boston Cream, and the Sean Pecannery.
The donuts are (apparently, haven't had them) a little bigger than donut holes and cheaper than the average fancy food at $.50-$1.00.
Donut Savant won "Best Gourmet Donuts" in the East Bay Express "best of" 2013. In 2015 they received the "Best Variation on a Cronut" Award.
As of February, 2014, Donut Savant now sells cronuts (a donut/crossant combo that is so popular at a New York bakery that some people wait in line for TWO hours to get one before they sell out). It appears that Donut Savant is calling them "crōn't's" (which rhymes with "don't", maybe because the New York bakery has trademarked cronut?

Kindergarten, with its focus on art and creativity, was ecstasy for young John Rodrigues. Every grade after that was nightmarish.
Growing up in Fullerton, he struggled with mainstream education at all grade levels, not knowing he was dyslexic. When he wasn't being teased by classmates for a foot disability, he would struggle in front of everyone, flubbing his assignment when asked to read out loud in class.
Curiously, when the subject was something three-dimensional or creative – such as art or cooking – he excelled. He loved it.
"I just kept looking for something I could be good at," Rodrigues said during a recent appearance at JSerra Catholic High School on behalf of the Dyslexia Parent Support Group of Orange County.
It wasn't until adulthood that Rodrigues was diagnosed, realizing he learned differently from other people.
Today Rodrigues, 48, now a Claremont resident, is a self-described "proud dyslexic." He is intent on changing public perceptions about dyslexia, a language-based neurological condition that is hereditary.
He will tell you, for example, that a disproportionate number of dyslexic thinkers work at creative companies such as Facebook, Apple, Google and Pixar Studios, and that many Silicon Valley companies are staffed by employees on the spectrum. It is "the highest concentration of dyslexics anywhere in the United States," as he put it.
Rodrigues travels the country as a public speaker, professional ice sculptor, founder of the nonprofit ThinkLexic and author of "High School Dropout to Harvard."
The turning point for him came in high school when, while flailing in other classes, he flourished in a chef's class.
"Cooking is great for dyslexic kids because it allows their creative minds to run wild and it is multi-sensory," he said. "I was hooked. I did so well, I was recommended for a job."
The part-time position was in the kitchen of the Conestoga Hotel near Disneyland.
Entering through the back door on the first day, he didn't follow two other new arrivals to their assembly point. He was fascinated with the kitchen. He wandered about, marveling at things, until he came upon the executive chef who was working with a chain saw, turning a 300-pound block of ice into a sculpture for a hotel event.
"My jaw just dropped," Rodrigues said. "It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I forgot about whatever I was supposed to be doing."
When the kitchen manager came looking for him and ordered him to join the group, the executive chef said, "The kid is working with me, get out of here!"
From then on, the 16-year-old was under the wing of Executive Chef Charles Collins, learning the ins and outs of ice sculpture. Collins let him keep large blocks that had been trimmed away. Rodrigues stored them in the hotel freezer to practice on at home.
Two weeks later, Rodrigues dropped out of high school. Within two months he was doing ice sculptures for banquets at the hotel. Then he sold his first sculpture outside the hotel.
"Some months, I'd be making $8,000 a month, some months, $10,000, other months, like $4,000 or $5,000," he said. "The only thing that changed, I stopped focusing on what I was bad at. I started to focus on what I was good at."
He worked for two years at the hotel, being mentored as a chef as well. A sculpting competition led to a chef apprenticeship at the Westin Hotel in South Coast Plaza.
That led to a job offer on American Hawaii Cruises.
"I spent the next three years cruising the Hawaiian Islands – seven-day cruises – making ice carvings," Rodrigues said.
A major cruise line, Renaissance, hired him, taking him to the Seychelles Islands and on to more than 60 countries, "having the time of my life."
On a break between cruises, Rodrigues went home to Fullerton and, on impulse, changed directions. He accepted a job teaching ice carving at a culinary school. It lasted five years. And a decade after dropping out of high school, Rodrigues returned to school, enrolling at Fullerton College.
He had passed the high school proficiency exam and earned chef's credentials. Now he was determined to overcome his demons dealing with mainstream education.
In a counseling office he spotted a poster: "10 signs you might have dyslexia."
"I went down the list," he said – can't spell well, reads slowly, has trouble writing – "Nine out of 10 of them were me. I now had a name for what had caused me all of these struggles."
He got tested, learned to strategize in his classes and, with persistence, began to do well.
How well? He applied at UC Berkeley and was accepted. While there, he decided to go big and applied to Harvard for a one-year program. On his essay, he took a bold, unconventional approach.
He was accepted.
"I think, at times, a lot of my success is because I'm dyslexic," he said.
As he relates in his book, Rodrigues went on to Carnegie Mellon University on a fellowship, returned to Berkeley and met the love of his life at a research seminar.
One day she told him "she wished she could understand the world as I do … if only she could be dyslexic for a day," he wrote.
Married, he and wife, Juana, have a 5-year-old daughter, Julia, who has mild dyslexia. "Every child we have together has a 50 percent chance of being dyslexic," Rodrigues said.
His advice to parents?
"Raise them with unconditional love and understanding," Rodrigues said. "Dyslexia is a consequence of their natural way of thinking, which is unique and holds so much potential. Be proud of them and dedicate energy to helping them cultivate their strengths – visual thinking, creative problem solving, artistic or technological inclinations.
"These are incredible kids."

A leading consultant today blasted proposals to scrap the majority of women's and children's services at a Teesside hospital.
Stuart Walton, a consultant and senior lecturer in obstetrics and gynaecology for 25 years, has condemned the top ranking Tees Review published by Professor Sir Ara Darzi.
Under the recommendations the North Tees hospital would lose its special baby care unit, along with consultant led maternity unit, gynaecology and paediatric services to the University Hospital of Hartlepool.
The move would mean newborn babies needing life-saving treatment would face a 30 minute transfer to the Hartlepool Hospital.
Expectant mothers who suffered complications during labour would also face the traumatic ten-mile journey.
Patients and staff have expressed their concern and Mr Walton believes patients have not been considered in the review.
"The impact would be quite dramatic for Teesside. I don't think the public at large are aware of the consequences of moving the services," he said.
If proposals to put the Centre of Excellence for Women and Children at Hartlepool went ahead Mr Walton says patients would go elsewhere.
"They're more likely to go to the nearest place in Northallerton or Middlesbrough.
"But the James Cook University Hospital is already bursting at the seams."
He said the Hartlepool hospital would have to build new neonatal facilities for premature babies as it had none at present and he claimed there would have to be massive changes to accommodate the increase in women they would have to deal with.
Babies are currently transferred from Hartlepool to one of the five neonatal units in the region - North Tees, the James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough, Northallerton's Friarage, or Newcastle and Sunderland.
Mr Walton also cites the groundbreaking work of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department along with other specialisms at the hospital as making the present service a Centre of Excellence.
And he believes the focus of the report should have been how best to continue to provide a whole range of services for Teesside rather than maintaining a full range of services at the Hartlepool hospital.
Your views wanted>
Health commissioners on Teesside are calling for the views of the general public on the Tees Review, published by Professor Sir Ara Darzi at the beginning of July.
The proposals include a new Centre of Excellence for Women and Children at the University Hospital of Hartlepool, while the University Hospital of North Tees would become the main centre north of the river for emergency surgery, with expanded intensive care facilities.
Meetings are being arranged to take place in Stockton later this month to discuss the proposals.

The Kiss (A Poem and Creative Writing)
So you say when I kiss you, I'll know, I will just know…and what is this that you hint at, this "knowing"? Can all my dreams and hopes be realized from a kiss, like gold and silver charms dangling from a bracelet? Is it a spontaneous trip this kiss, or a planned...read more

A Brother Offended Prov. 18: 19
A Brother Offended Prov. 18:19 CLICK TITLE FOR AUDIO
Remember first of all – Ps 119:165
This proverb is talking about a brother, not a lost person who might get offended because you witness to him – Is 29:21, Matt 15:12
Be careful not to offend – because it is nearly impossible to get an offended party back.
How can you offend a brother?
By doing something that might weaken his faith – wound thy weak brother – Rom 14:21, 1 Cor 8:13
By not maintaining a good report without – Matt 17:27, 2 Cor 6:3
By hatred and betrayal – Matt 24:10 [more prevalent as we approach the tribulation]
By preaching or teaching bad doctrine – Rom 16:17
By excess liberty – 1 Cor 10:31-32
By what you say – Jas 3:2
If you offend someone, ask for forgiveness – the sooner the better. And if they offend you, don't hold a grudge.
And don't air out the grievance with others (Matt 18).

Demo Content 6
Millennium Park in Chicago sits nestled among skyscrapers, train tracks, and busy city streets, providing a green oasis amid the hubbub of the Loop. But this summer, visitors found more than trees and flowers—they also found birds and other natural beauty that's at risk from climate change. From July through August,Audubon Chicago Region hosted a weekly outreach project in the park to talk with people about how our warming climate affects birds.
The outreach coincided with an Art Institute of Chicagoexhibit of Jean-Luc Mylayne's avian photographs, which included an outdoor pavilion next to Lurie Garden in Millennium Park. The pavilion will be open through fall 2015.
The setting is more than just a beautiful space in a prominent part of the city, though; Lurie Garden is full of many native plants and pollinators. "It's in this massive urban canyon of huge, huge buildings, sandwiched right between the lake and Michigan Avenue. It's a natural segue to talk about how birds come in and use these urban oases during migration," says Thomas Barnes, program associate for Bird-Friendly Communities with Audubon Chicago Region.
Birds Come to Life Through Artwork
Local artist Jorge Felix of the Puerto Rican Arts Alliance joined Audubon Chicago Region for the project. Felix worked with passersby to create five collaborative art pieces featuring local "spokesbirds" threatened by climate change: the Bald Eagle, the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, the Tree Swallow, the Mallard, and the Peregrine Falcon.

- Whole planet's a prison just for criminals who think they can go around murdering people.
Takron-Galtos is the principal prison and criminal rehabilitation facility for the United Planets in the 30th century. The planetary prison is largely automated and houses high security inmates from all across the galaxy. The administrative staff at Takron-Galtos consisted of a warden and armed guards from the Science Police.
In the 21st Century era, the Guardians of the Universe deposited many galactic criminals at Takron-Galtos, many of whom were apprehended by their militant charges the Green Lantern Corps. Galactic bounty hunter Lobo is also responsible for sending escaped felons to the prison planet (those he doesn't kill, at least).
By the late 30th Century, the Legion of Super-Heroes had many adventures on or near Takron-Galtos and were chiefly responsible for the majority of the criminals contained there. Legionnaire Brainiac 5 once erected a force shield that encased the entire planet. The shield helped with increased traffic control, but also prevented convicts from escaping the prison's surface.
One of the prison's most massive escape attempts took place during an incident known as the Great Darkness Saga. Agents of Darkseid known as the Servants of Darkness, bypassed the prison's security systems and released many of the prisoners. While many felons attempted to flee their confines, others decided to take revenge against their jailers. Members of the Legion of Super-Heroes were called in to assist the Science Police in containing the threat.[1]
- Gizmo
- Grundette
- Green Lantern
- Joker Jr.
- Rex Luthor
- Robin
- Superboy
- Nearly every foe of the Legion of Super-Heroes has served time at Takron-Galtos at one point or another.
- Takron-Galtos is common to the Earth-One (Pre-Zero Hour) continuity, Post-Zero Hour continuity, and current Post-Infinite Crisis continuity, though the planet's history has been altered to reflect the various rebooted 30th-31st century timelines.
- In the Justice League 3000 timeline, Takron-Galtos is Earth.[2]
- The name Takron-Galtos was also used to describe an interplanetary prison in the PC game Star Wars: Jedi Outcast.

Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? That question may be impossible but these Chicken and Egg costumes are pretty simple to construct. The chicken is just a shirt or leotard with two white boas attached every few inches. Then I had to die some tights yellow. To make the hat I found a white toboggan and sewed some red felt to go on top. The feet are made of yellow felt with slits to slip the feet in. The egg did take a little bit of sewing, but I have very little experience and was able to construct this without a pattern.
One comment that was made several times by people that did not know me was what cute little girls, which would have been great if they were girls!!! I'm sure as my boys get older they will not think this is too funny, but I'm sure it will provide our family with many more laughs.

This is probably one of the best titles I've come across lately. The entire book is even funnier than the title suggests. Imagine, if you will, Family Guy's Stewie Griffin in middle school. That is the book's main character in a nutshell. It's awesome. I wish I had been more like this kid when I was in middle school. (To be perfectly honest, I wish I were more like this kid now. Not that I want to be an evil genius or anything, but the whole limitless power and always getting what you want thing definitely has its appeal right now.)
In Josh Lieb's I Am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil, and I Want to Be Your Class President, we are introduced to Oliver Watson. At first, you might think he is a slightly idiotic seventh grade boy. (Do we know what redundant means, boys and girls?) Appearances, however, are deceiving. Oliver is an evil genius and the third-richest person in the entire world. He makes Lex Luthor look like an absolute amateur. In short, he's pretty awesome, and he knows it (even though nobody else does because he has a figurehead who is the face of Oliver's evil empire…It's kind of hard for a seventh grader to be taken seriously as one of the most powerful people in the world). He thinks of people as tools for his amusement, and he will stop at nothing to ensure that things, including world events, horse races, and the lives of those around him, play out exactly as he wishes.
Let's look for a moment at Oliver's views on children. Keep in mind that Oliver is technically a child himself, but I think we can all agree that Oliver is definitely not the norm.
"When they are not laughing (too lound and for no reason), they are screaming (too loud and for no reason). And when they're not doing either of those things, they're whining (too loud and for no reason). I would say they're like monkeys, but monkeys are cute."
Frankly, I couldn't have said it better myself. (Also, according to Oliver, anyone younger than eighteen is a child, so his view is especially true when you consider that.)
You may think that Oliver has it all. To some degree, you'd be right. But there is something missing. He has a somewhat strained relationship with his dad. It's always been like this, and Oliver is making it a priority to make his dad (1) miserable and (2) proud of him. (Not that Oliver cares what a peon like his dad thinks…he just wants to rub something in his face.) Oliver gets his opportunity in the form of elections for eighth grade class president. He will stop at nothing to win…absolutely nothing. (He's evil, for crying out loud! Of course, he'll stop at nothing.) But how can he win a school election (i.e. popularity contest) when everyone around him believes he's one of the most pathetic creatures to ever exist? I guess he'll just have to bring out the big guns. I'll leave it to you to decide if these "guns" are literal or figurative. Can his evil empire stay as is when all of Oliver's focus is going into winning a school election? Will anyone ever discover that he's an evil genius masquerading as a middle school moron? Read I Am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil, and I Want to Be Your Class President to find out.

bti brokerage has been created as a great platform for individuals as well as companies owning property yet lacking the proficiency to monetize their assets or to attain the most out of their investment. Let us help you buy someone's property and sell yours to someone else. After all, it's 35 years of experience in the real estate industry that is backing us!
With more than 3 decades of experience in the real estate industry of Bangladesh, bti has a vast database of potential buyers looking for property in Dhaka and Chittagong. Not only that, we also have a huge database of prime properties available for sale.
We arrange negotiations between the buyer and the seller only after carrying out due diligence that both parties are completely genuine and authentic. There is no scope of negligence and fraudulent activities.
We arrange free inspection of properties on behalf of the buyer to ensure the quality and standard of the property.
We provide legal vetting services to prevent any legal disputes. We help to draft Agreement, Sale deed and other legal papers on behalf of our clients.
There are few experiences in life as fulfilling as the experience of owning a home. Buying a home is an exciting event but without the right expertise and knowledge, it can be stressful. Whether you are looking to buy a new flat or a used one, bti Brokerage can help you find the right property. bti Brokerage can also help you if it is an office space you are
looking for.
Purchasing an apartment in Bangladesh is not an easy task. One wrong step can drag you to long term problems. With the hope of less difficulties for you, we are here to indicate the problem areas of real estate transactions in Bangladesh from the point of view of the buyer. One easy solution is to buy ready property with instant registration and handover. This may cause you some financial strain since all the funds have to be arranged in a short time but it may save you from the uncertainty of when you will actually get delivery of your cherished home.
When buying a property, it is also important to know the basic legal idioms. Here we have compiled a list of legal documents with which the property buyer should be familiar.
A deed is any written document that is accepted as a legal witness. It is probably the most important document of the transfer of ownership process. As a buyer you must be wary of the Deed. Make sure the deed is properly drafted. The Deed transfers the right of ownership of the property from seller to buyer. For a deed to be validated, it must include the following:
Make sure the Mutation document is properly prepared. Mutation means transfer or change of title in the records of the local municipal body for the concerned property after ownership has been transferred. For establishing the new ownership, it is necessary to include the name as new Owner in Government Khatian.
This is an important document identifying the owner. It is prepared by field survey for the purpose of determining possession, ownership and evaluation of Land Development Tax. The survey khatiyan is classified into CS Khatiyan, RS Khatiyan, SA Khatiyan etc. It is an important document for investigation of title.
Besides these you will need a few more documents for completing the preparation of these important documents.
When buying a property, make sure you have collected and secured all the required documents to complete the transfer/mutation/registration of your property and become its rightful owner.
When buying a home, it's strongly recommended you have a brokerage agent. There are many reasons why you should have a brokerage agent represent your best interests when buying a home. Keep in mind, all agents are not the same!
Attempting to buy a home without an agent can really make the home buying process more difficult. Having a brokerage agent is advantageous as they have the experience, know-how on pricing and market conditions to find the right home for you.
This is really just a matter of preference, but both newer and older homes offer distinct advantages, depending upon your unique taste and lifestyle.
Older homes can generally cost less than new homes; however, there are many cases where new homes can also cost less than older homes. Most new homes will not have any backyard landscaping and some don't include any front landscaping either. With an older home, the landscaping is normally already completed.
Taxes on some older homes may also be lower. Some people are charmed by the elegance of an older home but shy away because they're concerned about potential maintenance costs. Consider a home warranty to get the peace of mind you deserve. A good Home Warranty plan protects you against unexpected repairs on many home systems and appliances for a full year or more after you move in.
As you can see there are advantages and disadvantages to each, but it really comes down to what fits you and what you are looking for in a home.
If you buy a used apartment, you cannot pick your own color scheme, kitchen cabinet, and the apartment may also lack modern features and fittings. When you buy a used apartment, you have to rely largely on the previous resident's tastes, unless you want to renovate your home. The used apartments may also have lower energy efficiency due to the use of outdated building materials. You may also face maintenance issues like wear and tear of the building so it's best to check the apartment thoroughly before buying.

Yesterday was World Museum Day, a celebration of knowledge-serving institutions that's been in the calendar since 1977. Museums across China often go big for the day, offering free or discounted entry and holding special events. Our photo theme this week is Masterful Museums — dedicated to showcasing some of the country's most visually stunning museums.
China has a whole host of striking contemporary art hubs these days, but away from the more-cited examples in the country's first tier cities are structures such as Yinchuan's Museum of Contemporary Art, a building which forms the centerpiece of a whole art district in the northern city.
Beijing firm WAA (We Architech Anonymous) apparently took inspiration for the building's design from the sedimentary layers found in Ningxia province, with the site on which the museum sits being just a short distance from the Yellow River.
The 15,000 sqm structure opened to the public in August 2015.

Smart Transportation for a Smart World
Geared for the smart world of today, Gogoro, a Taiwanese company has launched Smart Scooters. These scooters are fully integrated with smart phones as well as having a display screen. Running on battery power, these scooters will be available from June 27th 2015 in Taipei. The batteries need to be changed after they finish and can be changed at any Gogoro charging station in the city. These scooters are priced £2,600. The main idea behind these scooters is environmental friendly. As scooters are the primary mode of transportation in Taipei, Gogoro's success is dependent on the efficiency and availability of the charging stations.
''Gogoro wanted to demonstrate to the world the leadership behind smart energy and smart transportation," mentioned by Gogoro chairman and co-founder, Horace Luke. He also added that the scooter's reception by Taiwanese citizens had been "phenomenal" so far.
