FUN CAMP comes out May 31, and in it is a short chapter/speech called "All You First-Timers with Deadbeat Dads," which was originally published online by American Short Fiction.
Today, I got an email from the writer Adam Peterson asking if I'd seen this post from a site called How Publishing is Rigged: http://howpublishingisrigged.com/crumbs/#more-711 "People ask me if I've seen this all the time, like in cautious voices as if I'm going to be really hurt," Adam wrote. "Apparently it's a really high search result for my name or something."
I followed the link and, sandwiched between a critique of Steve Edwards and Lydia Davis, was a critique of my FUN CAMP short, misattributing it to Adam.
I've pasted the (anonymous) critique below, which also includes my short in its entirety. Bolds mine:
This guy put a bunch of his Crumbs together to make a book. Well, that's not really accurate—it was a chapbook. (A chapbook is a limited-production book, usually fewer than 100 pages, and often made by hand, like on someone's dining room table.) But who might go out and buy his book? His friends might. Might. And maybe some MFA-holders who happen to be enamored of the very short story format. Or aspiring writers who want to be published in The Cupboard and are trying to kiss Peterson's ass. But beyond that, there's nobody in the real world who wants to read a single page of this garbage, let alone a full book of these things. But let's look at the Crumb that Peterson wrote that made it into a recent issue of American Short Fiction. This Crumb is over before the thing even gets started. Not that a Crumb ever does get started.
"All You First-Timers with Deadbeat Dads" (American Short Fiction, August 2010)
The returners can tell you that camp is catnip to those bastards. Too perfect an opportunity for him not to pop back into your life, take you for a drunk backcountry cruise, and defend his absence away from the castrating gaze of you-know-who. When yours shows, you'll offer a firm handshake and say, "Father, it is good to see you. I appreciate that you've driven some miles to visit me, your kin, to whom you wish to demonstrate your love. I cannot, however, accompany you to your truck for a harmless joyride, as each minute of my day at camp is accounted for, and I am under no circumstances permitted to leave camp boundaries at any time. Out of concern for your immediate safety, I plead you'll depart expediently. Chef Grogg has no doubt been alerted to your presence, and he is one dumb deadly animal." It's a mouthful, so I had the speech printed up on little cards to keep on you at all times. Show of hands, who needs one? Come on, hands up. Nothing to be shy about. You all've got a leg up on the pussies from unbroken homes. While they mosey into adulthood expectant in their dumb grins, you'll have already learned just how hard you can bite without drawing blood.
Where is the story here? Where is the plot? Alas, there is no story, and alas, no plot. There's nothing at all to do with a story like this. In fact, this is not a story in any sense of the word as there is no narrative. The first sentence is a terrible metaphor too. My family had cats when I was a kid, and when cats go for catnip, they cannot be deterred from their pursuit of the catnip. There's no "popping back in" for catnip, as though it were a casual pursuit. Once discovered, there's continuous constant pursuit of that catnip; the cats are going to get to that nip and will not be deterred. For camp to "be catnip" to a deadbeat dad, camp is something that deadbeat wants as much as a cat wants catnip. But that's not what the author is actually trying to say, is it? He's trying to say that camp draws deadbeat dads for quick visits to camp. The author was trying to not use a cliché and instead of coming up with something original and thoughtful, Peterson used a metaphor that is confusing and inaccurate.
This "story" is also attempting to be funny—and fails. The overly formal language causes this piece to fall victim to the problem of most "humor" pieces written (and enjoyed) by the Lit Biz crowd. These people think that irony and "snarkiness" makes something funny. In the mind of the Lit Biz person, a child who (1) speaks with an adult's vocabulary and who (2) has an affected way of talking is funny. And I'm not saying that a child can't speak with a fully developed vocabulary or that a character in a story can't have an affected way of talking and be funny, but that character had better have the context to show the humor that is present due to their unique manner of speaking. The context doesn't exist here, where all on its own, it's supposed to be funny that this camp kid talks like an English major with a stick up his ass. The author also throws a shocking word into the mix (oh! pussies!) to show that he—and his character—can be daring. That word is completely out of place with the rest of the character and the author has thrown it into this piece to try to be cool. And that word "pussies" is pushing the limits of crass language to this guy, never mind that you could hear a Pop Warner football coach using calling his 14-year-olds "pussies" without drawing so much as a surprised glance from any of them. Peterson, on the other hand, is probably still blushing.
Peterson's partner at The Cupboard, Dave Madden, is certainly offended by this "pussies" remark. In an interview conducted by HTMLGIANT, Madden makes the following confession:
Dave: If I get offended by manuscripts that aim solely to shock or disrupt it's more in terms of my sensibilities than any kind of ethical-political offense. Like that stuff gives me the vapours. And it tends rarely to be genuinely shocking or disruptive.
Doesn't it sound like Madden is talking like the kind of thing that Peterson did—with the "pussies"—in the above story? And who on earth talks like that—stuff gives him the vapours?? Apparently Dave Madden, publishing giant (that was a little joke; Madden publishes very little), has the delicate constitution of a 94-year-old woman. From 1850. Don't you love knowing that Dave Madden and guys like him are making decisions about what you get to read? Just because Madden and Peterson's influence is limited to The Cupboard doesn't make them any different from editors at large magazines. The editors at the bigger magazines have the same delicate constitutions and sensibilities as Dave Madden. Do you think that emotionally frail guys like Dave Madden can make good guesses as to what you'd like to read?
Sorry, Dave Madden! Looks like the misattribution got you roped in too.
But honestly, I'm not sorry for any of this. It is completely fascinating and the best web surprise since peterbd emailed me.
One thing I'll be curious to hear from non-insane people about is whether anything in FUN CAMP is genuinely offensive.
I did wrestle a little with the speaker's use of "pussy" when writing the piece. It's a word I avoid in actual speech, uncomfortably gendered and often used misogynistically. It's basically hatespeech lite, and I want in life and writing to be a good feminist in every way I can think to. But the speaker here so clearly has a chip on his shoulder, an enormous hostility toward people whose parents haven't split up. The speech, to me, would be worse without it.
Maybe "pussy" is like a semicolon: You only get one per book.
I can't think of a better note to end on than that.

All developers want to offer the unique and useful product, that will have significant qualitative distinctions comparing with others to suit followers the most. So IQ Option developers made a research in order to indicate top of noisy/required functions and features applicable for trading stations.

Help Fund Bus Passes for GED Students at PHCS
Many of our ABE/GED students do not have adequate transportation to get to class. Some walk up to a half-hour to get to our sites. The lack of adequate transportation leads to absences in class, cases of injury or problems during inclement weather, to name a few examples, therefore delaying progress in the ABE/GED program. Our goal is to provide such students that meet the requirements for PSTA's Transportation Disadvantaged Program an unlimited monthly bus pass free of charge.

I'm trying to create a master checkbox (actually a few) that toggle on/off various other columns of checkboxes on the same sheet.
I have researched this issue and found only solutions either A) using a radio button workaround which I have implemented as a test or B) using a checkbox But only based on range and/or proximity. The solution I am seeking just use keywords not range to decide which boxes to tick:untick.
I need the checkboxes to function independently of the master as it is just a "check/uncheck all" option- The boxes they CAN control each might also be on or off on its own.
I need the master checkbox to toggle boxes based on a keyword found in a different column as opposed to a fixed range so I can continue to expand the lists without rewriting code.
Context- In the attached sheet I am trying to put a master checkbox in C14 that when toggled checks/unchecks, all checkboxes in Column F ONLY if the same row has the keyword "Bathroom" in column B.
Here's the sheet:

South to Capricornio - STIR Publication
Temperature increases make southern Brazil, once a powerhouse of production, coffee-friendly again.
By Kelly Stein
Scientific forecasts describe a dark future for coffee production. The world's coffee growing regions are getting hotter and drier, rains are less predictable. Cold snaps are sharper and droughts more severe, all of which is changing how producers, business executives, and traders define their strategy.
Migrating to climate-friendly regions is an appealing solution.
According to the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), average temperatures have increased almost two degrees Celsius in the last 49 years. The steady rise is affecting coffee production. Yields are lower, pests and diseases are more menacing, and harvest totals are more difficult to predict leading to pricing volatility.

Speaking volumes..........
2017 may be the year of the Rooster, but my friends one thing that is staying put this year is the statement sleeve. Yes you heard me right. This stand out item off our street runways in 2016, the over sized sleeve, oversized bell sleeves to be exact. Did you just say Ellery? Yes indeed, thanks to Ellery we've all gone sleeve mad and rightfully so..
I have rounded up my favourite photos of how a statement sleeve should be done to hopefully inspire us all.
Even better I have this weeks latest offerings on our high streets thanks to the ever faithful Zara, and my current two dream pieces from Ellery for your delight... or mine...
This revisit of the ever so humble work horse of a wardrobe staple is simply excellent as the designers have now elevated the simple cotton shirt here to an epitome of all things stylish, taking you faithfully from day to night to street style stardom.
The rule here as with fashion is to keep it simple, with all attention on the blouse, pairing it with stream lined bottoms, Jeans, or a simple mini or midi skirt.
My favourite would be with a vintage redone or a vetement pair of cropped high waister.
If the icy spell is a deterrent for you, a fabulous coat or knit with even more fabulous statement sleeves will do just as well.
This look is simply not going anywhere, look in your wardrobe I bet you've got something just as awesome lurking in there with fabulous sleeves, why not dust it, style and tag us if you choose to share.
Thank you for stopping by,

I quietly slip into his room every night just to squeeze in one last peek before I go to bed. It's these quiet moments – as I'm tucking the falling blanket over his arms- that I most often think about the beautiful blessing we've been given. I remember praying for this child – this precious little boy even before he was born. We waited eagerly for him and counted the days until we could hold his tiny hands. I would stay up late pondering the possibly of who he would become and what his character would be. He has grown since the first day we met, but his hands still fit nicely in my own. He reminds me so much of his daddy, but he's got his own personality too. Now days I soak up all the snuggles, hugs, and kisses he'll let me have because I know that someday they will be fewer and farther between. I know that my role as his mommy will change over time, as all relationships do – but most nights I wish that time would pass slowly to let me savor him as my little boy a bit longer.
"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be." – Robert Munsch
Eli turned 3 over the weekend – my little boy is growing up! I love him with all my heart and I'm so proud of the little man he is becoming. I cherish all the smiles, laughter, and love he has brought to our little family. He is the sweetest boy I know, and I feel beyond blessed to be his mommy. Happy birthday Eli – you are loved more than you know!
Here are some pics from his special week :-)
James took some video of Eli the morning of his birthday – this little clip was too adorable not to share!

Often the cause of much debate but to invite (or not invite!) children to attend your wedding day does not have to be a daunting prospect; with careful consideration everyone can have a fantastic day…
There you both are saying your vows carefully chosen and delivered with heartfelt emotion and a little voice in the background says, "Mummy I need a wee"! But with a little thought and preparation it could be easier than you think to include children in your big day.
Some couples may well not have the budget to cater for children at the reception, or the chosen wedding venue may not be suitable, or have enough space – so the decision is already made for you! Sometimes a way of keeping costs down or overcoming this is to stipulate an 'adult's only day'. This point can easily be put across without offending anyone by way of a small carefully worded inclusion on the bottom of your invitations. This could be followed up with a list of adult activities available at your chosen venue to reinforce your message. Anyway, most couples like the thought of a child free weekend now and then with time on their own, so will probably jump at the chance of a day (and night) away from their little ones!
It is also worth considering the number of small attendants you want to include in your wedding party; your guests may be offended if you then have ten small flower girls and pages when the day is supposed to be child free.
There are so many great reasons to invite children to your big day, children can be brilliant "ice breakers" and bring some comical and magical moments to your day. With a little bit of thought you can keep everyone happy and have a great time.
1. Ask ushers to seat families towards the back of the ceremony room or church so if any awkward moments arise parents can slip out with their little ones unnoticed.
2. If you have the budget and a small room is available a children's entertainer may be the answer to keep little ones happy throughout the ceremony.
3. Just providing a colouring book and crayons for each child during the service is a cost effective alternative
4. Ask a family member to provide small bags of freshly chopped fruit or boxes of raisins to keep hungry moments at bay.
5. It is always an idea to think of photography in advance. If you can sort the pictures with the bridesmaids and children first they are then free to roam for a while!
6. To prevent boredom setting in during the drinks reception hire a bouncy castle, or a giant board game such as 'Twister' or 'Snakes and Ladders'. The adults will get as much fun out of it too!
7. During the reception think about where to seat families with children. Your child free guests may not be happy sitting next to a fidgeting two year old!
8. Safety also has to be an issue, think about table decorations. What will be child friendly, not towering candelabras or too many twinkling tea lights. A puzzle book or a small story book placed in each child's place, perhaps with a bead set for girls and a small box of Lego for boys, will keep them entertained throughout the speeches.
Guests should always assume that children are not invited, unless they are named on the invitation (i.e. Mr and Mrs Johnson, Samantha and Rebecca).
If you are not inviting ANY children, it is sensible to include a note with the invitations saying "unfortunately we are unable to accommodate children" – don't feel that you need to justify your reasons.
If you are only inviting children of close friends and family, it is tactful to telephone others with children before sending out the invitations to let them know or they may feel that their children have been singled out.
If you do have to invite children to your wedding, here are some tips and handy hints to try and keep "little ones" amused and allow the adults to have fun.
Hire babysitters or a crèche service.
Hire a children's entertainer, clowns or puppet show.
Seat children together at a special "kids table". Cover the tables with paper and put crayons or felt-tip pens in the middle.
Give each child an activity pack including games and puzzles, bubbles, crayons, colouring books.
Serve a kids meal consisting of chicken nuggets, pizzas, cheesy potatoes, pasta, fish fingers etc.
Give children jobs at the wedding reception i.e. asking guests to write messages in the Guest Book, passing around favours, handing out disposable cameras.
Have a special cinema corner set up for young ones, with comfy pillows, popcorn and juice showing tiny-tot favourites like Finding Nemo, Shrek, The Lion King etc.
It may seem like a lot of additional effort, but this day is one to remember for the rest of your life, and if having children at the wedding means you can ensure your closest friends and family can also be there, it's well worth it!

Learning the fine art of being casual is tricky for me. For the most part, I always feel like more is more. So when I'm trying to be minimal yet still make a statement, it can be a struggle. However, I learned that the key is to accessorize right, or use statement pieces to make your casual outfit go from eh to ya! I brought out my casual black turtleneck and paired it with my newly thrifted high waist jeans; simple. To make it a bit more extra in a subtle way I added my Gucci belt and paired it with my white booties from Miss Lola. The belt speaks for itself and the shoes (being a different color) stand out against the black. Now who says you can't wear black and white together? What do you think? Enjoy the look!

Our Most Memorable and Expensive Issues
There's one cover of Up Here that people always remember. Our second issue showed a bunch of fried eggs nailed to a wall. It illustrated a story about a "bushed" camp cook who lost it and did exactly that: nailed fried eggs to the wall. Since then we've created hundreds of covers with people, polar bears, and scenic vistas, but none have lodged in the collective psyche like the fried eggs.
In July/August 1988 we featured our first polar bear cover. It did well on the newsstands, so we decided to bring out the polar bear cover again from time to time. Over the past 35 years, we've featured a polar bear on the cover 12 times, most recently in March of this year. Dogs, also good sellers, rank second to polar bears. We've had seven covers with northern dogs.
Our most expensive issue, however, was July/August 2006. It featured an article on nude hiking in the Yukon. The cover showed a back view of a nude hiker with type strategically placed over the model's bare backside. Unfortunately, when it reached the seat pockets of all Canadian North flights, a passenger complained, and Canadian North asked that the issue be pulled from its planes.
Since we always promise our advertisers seat-pocket distribution, we had to come up with something different in a hurry. One week and $5,000 later, we had a magazine with a new cover. This time, a well-covered man and a naked fish.
Up Here has always been designed and assembled in the North, but printed in the south. Today, when the magazine is ready for the printer we push an upload button. Life was not that simple 35 years ago. First, we had to have the type set and called out
in long strips called galleys. Then we had to assemble all the pieces on art-boards using tools unknown to today's designers (x-acto knives, parallel rules, lots of wax as an adhesive, rubylith and a glass roller, to roll it down and make sure it all stuck).
When all this was done, we packed the artwork and the photos into a large box, securely taped it, and then dashed to the airport to get it out on the last plane of the day leaving Yellowknife. We still experience deadline anxiety, but we now know that some computer geeks in Winnipeg will find any technical glitches that we might have missed. And believe it or not, with today's technology, the printing bill is lower than it was 35 years ago.

As Mercury digs its heels in and starts moving backwards, you may feel like you are moving through water, or mud.
The process of slowing makes us take a look at our lives again and see what is working and what isn't. It can also bring up past issues and feelings you have had before.
Remember that you have moved forward. You are not the same person you were the last time you had these feelings. How will you deal with them now?
Take a deep breath (or several) and pick up the tools you have acquired since the last Retrograde, and resolve the issue. You can deal with it, the Universe is, simply, showing you that.
Don't be tempted to go back to the old thought patterns that created the problem, you have new ones now, use them.
You can still move forward, but it's like rowing against the current. Progress can be made, but it will be slow and take more effort. And yet, the things and people who are meant to stay in your life will still be there. What is not necessary will likely fade away, unless you want to continue to carry your heavy baggage.
If you want to make your life harder, your Angels will not interfere, but they will be happy to show you the fast and easy path to your goal if you ask them for help.
Mercury Retrograde is about learning, reviewing and lightening your load. When you let go of fear and do these things, you will soar with the Angels
in the months ahead.

"To Know Me…Is To Love Me…Just Because" – Ingrid Prescott
Learning to live your Best Life Ever!
Loving Self from "A to Z"
I AM ME…and I am not defined by others opinions and beliefs about me. In order for me to form a perfect union of tranquility, peace, joy, hope, love and happiness, I need to recognize that I can't be everything to everyone and not rob me of Me Time. I have the power to live whichever life I choose, without offending anyone. I will work to promote and encourage SELF and NEVER GIVE UP—to keep hitting that rock until it cracks, ignore the nay-sayers, and know that I am in control of my choices and free will. And I also recognize that my success cannot be defined by anyone else; but needs to be based on what I believe, which is MY truth.
From A to Z
Accept SELF
Believe in SELF
Care for SELF
Devote time to SELF
Encourage and enjoy SELF
Focus, forgive, and feel good about SELF
Grab life by the horns for SELF
Hope in all things for SELF
IMATTER. (Repeat to SELF as needed.)
Juggle life for SELF
Kindhearted toward SELF
LOVE on SELF
Motivate SELF
Nurture SELF
Oneness with SELF
Pamper SELF
Quiet SELF for Relaxation
Renew and Rejuvenate SELF
Smile with SELF
Trust in SELF
Understand SELF
Value SELF
Work at putting SELF first
X-hilerate and encourage SELF that you are exceptional and amazing
Yearn to be loving & comfortable in SELF (Accept you need room for improvement.)
Zest for Life toward SELF (You give so much joy to others; be sure to keep some for SELF.)
Links that encourage and support Loving Self:
Love Says… It's Official
"Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have."
It's finally official: I have taken the leap of faith and my website has been launched!
Trust me, the road has been very bumpy and challenging–with plenty of tears that followed. However, quitting or giving up were never a topic of discussion–EVER. If you just believe, if your belief appears even as the size of a mustard seed… ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!
When the time allows, please check out my website: www.lovinself.com. The answer was right at my fingertips and in front of my face all along. Kudos to ALL the reps at GoDaddy who did a superb job at getting me to this point, and who handled my crazy, New Yorker energy and aura. ;o)
So, today, be mindful of how great you really are; trust and believe that you matter and that you can make a difference in your life and the AWESOME UNIVERSE.
Like Joyce Meyer said: "I believe that if we'll stay amazed at the things God is doing in our lives–even the little things–we'll NEVER be without HOPE."
Love Sees the Vision
The percentage of Americans who can see themselves starting a business in 2015 is 51% up from 42% back in 2013. – 2015 Amway Global Entrepreneurship Report
The March issue of Money magazine focused on Being Your Own Boss; as the number of people doing so (and wanting to) have increased greatly after the banking industry collapsed (an excellent read). I've taken the plunge; I'm self-employed (a.k.a. an entrepreneur) because I was ready to take the jump by having the Faith that my parachute will open. I'm in the planning and development stages for my Lovin Self website for the sale of my Essential Bath Salts (Cashmere Petals, Fresh Peonies, Warm Orchid & Calming Lemongrass) and Soothing Bath Teas (The Nile, Exotic Amber, & Cleopatra), of which all 7 of those luxurious aromas are ready for customers to enjoy, and I'm WORKING toward and PRAYING that my website will be ready to launch at month end.
I'm READY now, yet there is SO MUCH that goes into launching a website. For example, the SSL Certificate that protects your customers' sensitive information over the Internet is extremely important, and equally important is having the right person to do the job. The Privacy & Returns policy must be on point, because people are entrusting you with their vital information, and that is something a good business owner can't take lightly. Another checklist item is making sure that the SEO, which stands for "search engine optimization," is in place and operating. Applying SEO aspects to your webpage "is the process of getting traffic from the 'free,' 'organic,' 'editorial,' or 'natural' search results on search engines, this cost is very important to the traffic that flows to your website."
Having said all of that, I am very proud of what LovinSelf.com is shaping up to look like; especially, our monthly newsletter being created by my AMAZING & AWESOME editor Melissa Swenka who rocks every time and keeps me sounding intellectually savvy. My web developer and I are still working on improving and ironing out minor glitches.
The great news is that my 2BMe – "To Know Me… Is To Love Me… Just Because" – jewelry collection will be featured on my website, and in production, hopefully, before Mother's Day. As an additional part of the 2BMe line, I will be offering silver-plated necklaces and bracelets for purchase, once we launch, with bracelet sizes 7 inches for 'Tweens and 8 inches and 10 inches for bigger wrists.
Oops… I'm getting sidetracked…
Getting back to the March issue of Money magazine, because I'm a new entrepreneur myself, I feel like they could have done more in depth reporting on the "Ultimate Guide To Flying Solo" because startups are on the rise, and many Americans are taking that leap of Faith and launching their own business.
If you are still uncertain or don't know what to do or where to begin, reading as much as you can on the subject (I suggest starting with Steve Harvey's book Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success) is an excellent way to start. But, most importantly, whatever your idea might be, do your research, research, research.
Money magazine recommends the following:
Step 1 – Figure out if your brilliant idea is a viable business – How many people want your product/service (your idea).
Step 2 – Put some real numbers on your idea – Figure out what to charge potential customers.
Step 3 – Plot out how to fund your launch – It does take money, but not millions, to launch your idea.
Step 4 – Protect your own financial future – We have to stop blaming Wall Street, "Corporate," or the Banks when we continue working in their businesses; you have the power create your own. Ditch their rules and regulations by figuring out how to solve the problem and not be a part of it. You need to find YOUR solution and TAKE THE JUMP.
Step 5 – Make the most of Year One – Focus, plan, and continue to execute. Learn from life's lessons and failures, and then regroup and be consistent.
My recommendation for Step 6 – NEVER GIVE UP!! Make determination, passion, and confidence your best friends.
Love Is An Action Word
"Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within." – James Baldwin
Love is an Action word that freely allows us to openly express our feelings proudly, without being an offense to anyone. The most precious gift that a child gives to their parent(s) is the ability to love them unconditionally. Somehow, some way most adults have forgoten this vital component in relationships, which give reason for them to most likely fail.
Remember, he or she will love you Just Because…And NEVER compromise SELF for the sake of someone else. If it's Love, everyone will sacrifice and it's never one sided.
Love says…I'm Special
The only person who can bring you joy, and happiness is Self. Relying on others to do it for you, will take you to a darker place of unhappniess that may not be satisfying, rewarding and/or an improvement of Self.
Trust and believe that YOU do matter, that you are AMAZINGLY wonderful. And watch your inner being shine bright making your spirit Happy Happy and Joyous. ;o)
Love says…iMatter
"Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other." – Felix Adler
"You have to learn to get up from the table when Love is no longer being served."
– Nina Simone
The Art of Lovin Self…
"You can't touch love, but you can feel the sweetness it pours into everything." – Annie Sullivan
Love is a Condition…
"Love is a condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own." – Robert Heinlein

Phoenix's Testimony:
My participation in Green City began with a job search. The year before I joined GCF, I found myself having such a hard time finding a job that I gave up. My brother, who was also placed on my GCF team, connected me to GCF. In the information session, I realized this was my second chance to go to college, apply the right way, and I did. To me, GCF means having the commitment to arrive every day, the discipline to arrive early, the drive to push through daily labors and long work days and maintain a consistent professional demeanor. I can say the most important thing I have learned in GCF is to exceed limitations in everything you do, and to let your light shine, inspiring others to do the same. My plan after GCF is to attend college. I've been accepted to New York City College of Technology in the computer sciences field."

The National Union of Teachers have revealed shocking evidence of the scale of indiscipline and violence by pupils.
Why Labour are all talk
Mr Blair promised in 1997: 'Teachers will be entitled to positive support … to promote good attendance and sound discipline' (Labour Party Manifesto 97). All talk.
• Examples of pupil violence cited by the NUT include a teacher who was stabbed in the neck by a 14 year-old, another who had a kettle of boiling water poured over them, and one who was left with severe leg injuries after a pupil attack (BBC News Online and The Guardian, 28 Mar 05).
• Under Mr Blair, a teacher is assaulted every seven minutes.
• There were over 17,000 expulsions for violence in just one term in 2003. Teaching unions believe even this could be an underestimate, since schools may have failed to report the true figures for fear of being labelled 'failing' (Times Educational Supplement, 6 Aug 04).
• 31 per cent of teachers considering leaving the profession cite poor pupil behaviour as a reason.
• Appeals panels overrule head teachers in one in five cases, forcing them to readmit pupils they have expelled. Of 1,070 appeals made in the last year for which figures are available, 21 per cent were upheld – putting 210 expelled pupils back into the classroom.
• Nearly one in ten (nine per cent) of secondary schools have unsatisfactory levels of behaviour, and the number of schools where behaviour is unsatisfactory 'shows no sign of reducing', according to the Chief Inspector of Schools (Report of HM Chief Insp of Schools 03/04, Feb 05).
Liberal Democrats
The Lib Dems have no policies to improve school discipline. They want to continue Labour's discredited policy of forcing schools to take disruptive pupils and say that 'increasing exclusions is a recipe for disaster' (Lib Dem Press Release, 29 Nov 04).
Conservative Action
The Conservatives believe that a small minority of pupils should not be allowed to disrupt the education of the majority. We have a five-point Action Plan to restore discipline:
1. We will give head teachers the final say over exclusions and scrap appeals panels.
2. We will give head teachers an unqualified right to insist on parental agreement to discipline as part of the conditions of entry/attendance for their children.
3. We will scrap Labour's plans to force all state schools to take their share of undisciplined pupils.
4. We will give schools the funds and financial freedom to introduce random drug- testing, CCTV and metal detectors.
5. We will give teachers greater legal protection so that they can enforce discipline without fear of having their lives ruined if a child alleges abuse.

All James Anthony Smith wanted for Christmas was a pair of bright red Nike Air Jordans. His mother paid $220 for the sneakers and gave her 17-year-old son his gift a bit early.
They went from store box to James's feet without ever passing under the tree at his Southeast Washington home. The Ballou High School sophomore enjoyed them for four days.
On Monday evening, police said a gunman shot James on a basketball court at the Frederick Douglass Community Center. His mother, Benita Smith, said whoever attacked her son took the sneakers. He was found a block away, on a street, shoeless. He died less than two hours later at a hospital.
"He was an all-American kid," said his mother, who works at a day-care center. "He loved his red shoes. He loved basketball. He loved his computer games. . . . I can't believe he was killed, all over a pair of shoes."
[Designer clothes lead to robberies, shootings in Washington area]
The shooter, Smith said, "just wasted another person's life, as well as his own."
Police Chief Peter Newsham said detectives "tentatively think it may have been a robbery," although the investigation is ongoing. No arrests had been made as of Tuesday evening.
The shooting occurred shortly before 6 p.m. on an outdoor basketball court at the community center in the 1900 block of Frederick Douglass Court SE, a cul-de-sac lined with newer-model homes with grass plots off Alabama Avenue and near Suitland Parkway. Police did not say if the shooting occurred during a game.
Police said James ran about a block after being shot, taking a path that cuts through a line of homes to the 1800 block of Bruce Place SE, where he collapsed. He lived with his mother; older brother, who works as a mechanic at Joint Base Andrews; and stepfather about one mile from the recreation center.
Smith said her son enjoyed Spanish classes and was working to shore up his grades. She said she allowed James to have his Christmas gift early "because he asked and he's a good kid." Before he left to play on Monday, Smith said he "told me he loved me."
D.C. Council member Trayon White Sr. (D-Ward 8), met with Smith and later called for more resources — police and otherwise — to combat crime in his political subdivision that struggles as among the most impoverished and crime-ridden in the District. He also called on teenagers to stop senseless killings.
[Young man killed over sneakers in 2012]
"We need some new re-education as to how we should act as a people," White said. "We shouldn't devalue ourselves to an Air Jordan."
Killing over designer sneakers and jackets had been the motive in several killings a number of years ago, but hasn't surfaced in too many crimes recently. In 2012, $450 Helly Hansen jackets were prime targets for burglars and robbers in the Washington region. An Olney, Md., teenager was fatally stabbed at the Woodley Park Metro station after confronting another teen who was wearing his stolen jacket. That same year, a 19-year-old was shot to death in Northeast Washington by a man who wanted his white $200 Nike Zoom Rookie sneakers.
James was the District's 110th homicide victim this year, with killings citywide down from 129 at this time in 2016, a 15 percent drop. There were 135 homicides in the District in all of 2016.
But while homicides have declined overall in the District, they remained unchanged in Smith's Ward 8 — 44 so far this year, compared to 44 at this time last year. They represent about 40 percent of the total number of slayings in the entire city. Violent crime is down in all other categories, including armed robberies and shootings.
James was the sixth teenager under the age of 18 killed this year in the District and the second student from Ballou to die in violence in 2017.
The other, MyAngelo Starnes, 16, was fatally shot in September during a gun battle when he returned to a neighborhood his mother had moved away from. In 2015, another Ballou student, Malek Mercer, 15, was killed when his mother said he refused to give up his designer belt in a robbery.
Ellie Silverman and Perry Stein contributed to this report.

Link to ETFreplay Subscriber Tool: ETF Calendar Year Max Drawdowns
This backtest defines a Regime by comparing the performance of EFA and QQQ, two standard ETFs with plenty of market cap. The backtest then decides to allocate to EFA or QQQ depending on which Regime is in place. SPY is held in either case as a core position:
YTD Performance for a major Robo portfolio that we entered into our Imported Backtests Module which will track any ETF portfolio you would like to track.
We separately calculated the CONTRIBUTION of each of the major holdings. While each account at a robo will show slightly different performance, the 13-F filings are a good way to have a non cherry-picked aggregate example. Note that advisor fees that are on top of fund-level fees are excluded.

When choosing a vinyl window for your home, how do you differentiate one brand from another? First, watch out for windows with inferior "spiral-style" balances which require frequent adjustment and become more difficult to operate over time. Harvey Building Products uses only top-of-the-line block and tackle balances which never need adjustment and offer hassle-free fingertip operation. Harvey vinyl windows also offer the convenience of tilt-in sashes for easy cleaning.
Multiple Chambers
Multiple chambers in a vinyl extrusion, which is used to make the casing of a window, allow for greater structural and thermal performance. Why? Air is an excellent insulator, so by having additional/larger air pockets within the chambers you increase thermal performance. Also, the four chamber walls that make up the Harvey sill act like I-beams, adding structural strength so the sill won't sag. No sagging sills in a Harvey window!
Vinyl Tint
You take pride in your home, and appearance counts. Watch out for some companies using second-rate vinyl that can give vinyl windows an unattractive blue-ish tint. Harvey windows offer sleek designs to maximize glass area, and our windows incorporate attractive, low-profile hardware components for an unobstructed view to the outside.
Additional Details
Detailed information about Harvey windows can be found on our website. In addition, our product showrooms are also a great place to learn more. Stop by a showroom near you and push, pull, and operate our windows and speak with our showroom experts who can answer any questions you may have.

Whether you're after a romantic break for two or a fun-packed holiday for the whole family, Retallack Resort has got it covered. Just eight miles from Padstow, its self-catering lakeside apartments and luxury lodges are the perfect base for exploring the stunning North Cornwall coast and picturesque countryside. But with so much for all ages onsite, you might find it hard to drag yourself away from the resort.
For the smallest guests, there's the Little Den creche, open to 0 to 3-year-olds, or the Den Kids Club for 3 to 10-year-olds. Arts and crafts, cookery lessons and science club are just a few of the fun activities laid on to keep the little ones entertained. A three hour session costs £15, with an optional lunch, an additional £3.
Older kids will love Retallack's extensive watersports, including water zorbs, stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), FlowRider surf machine and huge aqua park. Seven-day watersports passes start from £25, giving access to a range of sessions.
And while the youngsters wear themselves out, the grown ups can treat themselves to an Elemis massage or facial in the ESYA Spa, get the heart pumping in a fitness class or on the tennis courts, or sample some local produce in the Lookout Restaurant.
