There were some big guns out for this wedding yesterday, let me tell you! Mitton Hall itself (exclusively no less!) TWO dresses from One and Only Bridal Couture, Flower Design, Silk Wedding Videos, Stephen Bayliss, Charlese, The Coolers - I could actually go on and on! It was a hell of a wedding!
Perfect venue, glorious weather – what more could you want?!
Here's a little sneak preview at all the awesomeness, starting at Louise's Mum & Dad's house in Preston…
On to the church and after a little encouragement, Louise & Andy's little one came charging down the aisle…!!!
On arrival at Mitton Hall…
Stealing the show! Soprano Bella came in to 'arrest' the best man and burst into song (they were seriously amazing – they finished with the most incredible performance of 'Nessun Dorma' and sent shivers down my spine…) And this was all before the speeches!
After the speeches (and before Louise went to slip into wedding dress no2! A beautiful Jenny Packham gown!)
All change! (How amazing does Louise look!?!?)
The night do got under way with the incredible Stephen Bayliss opening his set with the first dance…
What a day! Congratulations once again Louise & Andy!

When water enters a motor vehicle, penetration and subsequent absorption can seriously affect door linings, seats, carpets, the sub-floor, the dashboard and other soft furnishings. If left untreated, water absorption can result in mould growth and cause further damage. Where possible, vehicles should be processed promptly in order to minimise further damage and reduce restoration costs.
Water damaged vehicles can be placed into either of the two categories that determines which restoration procedures should be applied to provide the optimal result:
- General Water Damage is classified as rain water that has entered via an open window, roof or door. Early treatment may only require drying the interior, followed by detailing. The result ensures that a high quality restoration can be achieved to bring the vehicle to an almost showroom condition.
- Black Water Damage is classified as water entering via the door seals (door linings) caused predominantly by flooding. Water from floods are usually teeming with bacteria and contaminants and is known as black water. It has significantly more contaminants, all of which can be dangerous if not dealt with promptly and correctly. Black water contaminated vehicles may require a more extensive restoration process including: removal of seats and carpets, thorough drying and the application of an antimicrobial agent. The final detail clean will ensure that the vehicle is returned at an optimal condition.
Auto-Decon Services ensure that each vehicle will be assessed individually, and a remediation plan actioned specific to the vehicle.

When you are operating a business, you surely want somebody to do the promotional things for you. If you want to enjoy a free service of promotion from people, you could try to turn your existing customers into your fans so they would try to promote your business. This type of promotion would be costless because your clients would not try to ask you for a salary even though they are doing the promotion. In fact, loyal customers are precious to all kinds of businesses.
There are several things that you could do in order to win the support of your clients and turn them into your loyal fans. First, you have to look successful and confident. If you are doing your business in a pessimistic way, you clients would not feel energetic to help you promote your business.
Secondly, you have to update your business regularly. This would be important because everyone would like to know the most updated information about the products. And your clients would also be interested to know more new products from you and purchase from you. Besides, you have to tell your clients something good about your business. If your products are receiving good comments, you could tell your clients. If your business has won some awards, you should let them know too, so that they would be proud of the business.
On the other hand, you could try to set up a VIP club for the clients. They would be more involved to your business if they know that you treat them as important people. Of course, you could send some emails to ask for the recent situation of the clients. They would then know that you actually want to make friends with them instead of to make money from them.
You need to think of unique ways to sell the products too. There are numerous sellers in the world and you have to figure out ways to show that you are different from those sellers. You are also advised to use funny, interesting ways to promote the business. No matter what you are sending to your clients, you should work in an interesting way so that they would feel interested.
The last piece of tip is that you need to make a clear understanding about your business. You should set a slogan for your business explaining your business principle. It could be trust, exclusive, etc. This would allow you to win the support of the customers because they know that you have heart to work in the business and so they would love your business more.
Operating a business would be difficult but with the solid support from the clients, it would encourage you to work hard more because the support from these clients could back you up to face the challenges from other businesses.
If you want to gain the support and trust of your existing clients, do for the above tips and find the suitable ways to locate your business. You will be successful!

Richardson Warns of Election Misinformation
Oregon Secretary of State Dennis Richardson has posted a notice that misinformation about Tuesday's election has been circulating. According to Richardson, non-official entities are calling voters and telling them that they are not registered to vote or that their voter registration is inactive. They are also telling people that our election system is easily hackable. A statement that Richardson says is also false. Richardson says some entities are merely giving out old and outdated information while other groups are intentionally trying to get voters to not vote in Tuesday's election. Richardson says his office as well as the 36 official county election offices are open for questions and that you can also visit Oregonvotes.gov to check your voter record, track you ballot, find an official drop off box or access the voters pamphlet.
Studded Tires Cause Road Damage
It is not the official beginning of winter, but the Oregon Department of Transportation says today is the opening day of studded tire season. And they recommend that you do not use them. ODOT says that studded tires cause 8.4 million dollars a year in damage to Oregon roads and encourage drivers to think about using chains or other types of traction tires in bad weather. Traction tires are marked with three mountain peaks and a snowflake on the sidewall and according to ODOT work as well as studded tires but do not cause damage to the roadways. For weather and road conditions when traveling motorists can call 511 or visit tripcheck.com.

Crude Prices Take a Hit
Crude prices are coming off the worse month in two years according to analysts, despite that the price of gasoline is not making any quick movements downward. Traditionally October is the month when prices begin to dip, but in Florence they continue to remain static. The price of a regular gallon of gasoline is $3.11 with the state average sitting at $3.36.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in prepared remarks that the Supreme Court had several decision announcements coming soon on some high profile public cases.
She gave her statement at the Second Circuit Judicial Conference, where she mentioned several popular cases that have been argued this term, including the hotly contested 2020 census case.
Lots of 5-4 Supreme Court decisions on the way, Justice Ginsburg suggests in speech at 2nd Circuit conference: pic.twitter.com/KsHUTljB4L— Greg Stohr (@GregStohr) June 7, 2019
The census case and the controversy surrounding it involves the Trump administration's attempt to add a question on the upcoming 2020 census form which will require every American household to identify the citizens and non-citizens among them. The administration believes it is a valid question that will help provide better data to enforce the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
But not everyone feels that way. In January, a Manhattan federal judge actually ruled that officials could NOT add the question to the survey. The judge ruled that it violated the Administrative Procedure Act and opponents to the citizenship question – the American Civil Liberties Union and Common Cause – firmly believe that it would show discrimination against Latino households.
Initially, the high court split their ruling on this case, as expected, with more conservative justices seeing the merit of a citizenship question on the census while liberal justices taking the opposite side.
On Friday, Ginsburg referenced a previous decision in the 2018 Trump v. Hawaii case where the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 along ideological lines and upheld the Trump administration's "travel ban." Justice Ginsburg said that it granted "great deference to the Executive." She went on to say, "Respondents in the census case have argued that a ruling in Secretary Ross's favor would stretch deference beyond the breaking point."
Among some of the most anticipated case ruling coming out will be the court's ruling on the constitutionality of partisan gerrymandering, and the final decision in Flowers v. Mississippi, where the justices will have to rule on whether Mississippi's high court properly followed a Supreme Court precedent in deciding if people were unconstitutionally kept from serving on a jury because of their race.
Ginsburg said there are 27 cases that have not had rulings announced and that she expects all of them to be coming out this month.

Get It In -- Somehow
You, can -- make this -- up. Misuse and bounce off the 'latest'. The closer for April, the busy month.
Indiscriminate and tenuous links and the 'Rabbi who wouldn't stop talking'. Little coverage from an adult and resist-evil perspective. What's to care?
Similar and why-evangelise? Cannot that much and start on a mission. Find faith for. Opportunity knocks and a faint go, but bricks and walls are everywhere.
As for the on, and on, and ongoing... terror-vision operations? About gathering misplaced fear and insincere compassion. About monitoring the apathy and confusion.
Ten-minute look and see this one had discrepancies and anomalies, nothing to do with the 'Rabbi' bit.
Not of the Pulse Nightclub and Las Vegas physical-impossibility class. Odds-on though, more in the series. While absolute certainty, rapid amnesia by all but the legislators. Drafting their laws to respond and push forward to a cage of a world.
Billions of victims of terrorism. 1984 by Orwell and 'two minutes of hate' to a T.
Three thoughts reappropriated out of this latest theatre -or- tragedy?
One: Religion -- and not even the least thereof -- and Christian, with Judaism tagged on. Seen to be the new 'under attack'. Will extend to its part in cultural and social underpinnings. Disregarded and into overturning by some State bosses. While all seen to shout for some level of defence. Said tension is about progressive inclusion.
First for Jewish people and stuff, next Islam etc. our 'new friends', and finally the Church. White Jesus male and... etc. etc. Dominant institutions in need of a slap down and get in equal-opp's line.
So, One:
Biblical-wise, what's the 'attack' by people, and the influential unseen and destructive, over?
Two: How come talks, sermons etc., are the prominent vehicle for communicating God-messages? At least in being the common view. What's right and wrong about? What's the upshot and the downside?
Three: Isn't it hot and vital 'faith' to respond to trouble or terror in a God-attentive manner? Shot, a dead listener, shouldn't the congregation see some defiance?
Of course, on this one, it comes over as someone missing a few psychological bolts. Someone laying there shot and dying, or dead -- but hey, the talk must go on? Come ye on?
Quick as gagging for an explanation but ain't up to/be bothered.
One: The attacks have a hierarchy and evil's target. Go way past buildings to people. Get specific and Christians. Who and what they represent. How about what mission's occurring -- this? The sermon representing the cause. The genuine and 'persecuted church' stopped in their proclaiming, without a doubt's significant.
On to... it's an attack on God, on Jesus, for when you prosecute them...
This it?
There are two strategic top-goals. To dismantle, distract-off and succeed in stopping:
The Word and our Faith. Which is all about praying.
As I harp on: no time today to elaborate but take a New-Testament-look?
Nowadays translated: The bible read and our faith in heartfelt response.
The final opposing challenge. Here's how Luke has it:
A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up.
Two: Talking to a crowd has Biblical precedent but got and contemporary-wise went... all skew-whiff. Aka; tradition killing the life-about.
So much, could tap away, about this. Suffice and all evident once reason and scripture -- with and trust Holy Spirit help -- are sought.
On this one, we go back to nos. One. It's 'the word' the opposition hates -- not 'talks'. Or, could say, it's the living word in any talk that matters. Best talks, make you want to open the bible yourself.
On to 'three' and off.
Ain't nebulous 'church' or the tawkin' or the even the bible -- but our response.
One big need: Faith in God and what's coming over. Live and direct. And personal.
Hence to do 'Christianity' takes an obsessive push to breakthrough and discipline into.
Into the books and verses and a mulling come believing soak-up.
Jesus is the lens which to read the Book/s. Talks so little about enemy forces/with personality. What little is enough. Rather than speculating beyond... STOP. Accept his diagnosis and reaction to remedy to disrupt the opposition and draw in the new realm of God on earth.
Yeah. It comes down to seeking to read/listen to an audio version. Receive and in this be 'hearing' for self. Respond in believing.
Once here... ready for action.
More often, where the trampling, most often through a human agency might appear.
(The signs are accusation and/or deception. Hate and war etc.)
At this moment is the fight of fights. Believe or back down?
And for not-sure seekers?
Read without prejudice or think 'have prejudices'?
No matter but get it in -- somehow.
Mark it with a pen or pencil. Stare and struggle to care or find interest. Eat, eat, eat, drink...
of me.
Says God

For SETUP, an organisation exploring digital culture in Utrecht, we were asked to create Urban Nudge Kit, a kit citizens could use to instigate good behaviour. For example, punaises that you could put on the street to ward off bicycles. Or an own custom made sign with monsters warning that bicycles will be eaten if left here. Funny interventions which can effect how people behave. Power to the people!

Schweizerischer Pool für Erdbebendeckung (SPE), Switzerland
Schweizerischer Pool für Erdbebendeckung (SPE) Title
Schweizerischer Pool für Erdbebendeckung (SPE)
Description Schweizerischer Pool für Erdbebendeckung
The Swiss Pool for Earthquake Cover (SPE for the German "Schweizerische Pool für Erdbebendeckung") provides a maximum of two billion Swiss francs per calendar year in the event of an earthquake. Thanks to this system, the cantonal insurance establishments concerned can at least partially cover the damage and thus support affected building owners, in the event of a major earthquake. However, this protection is barely sufficient in case of a severe earthquake. Therefore, the SPE is also committed to compulsory earthquake insurance.
News and Events Schweizerischer Pool für Erdbebendeckung
News and Events
In 2017, work on an intercantonal concordat earthquake insurance ( IKEV ) was advanced. On behalf of the Preparatory Commission of the Council of States and the Conference of Cantonal Governments ( KdK ), the Intergovernmental Conference Military, Civil Defense and Fire Brigade ( RK MZF ) has pushed this project forward. Cantonal governments have received a corresponding proposal. However, this was not a majority. The CCG can not successfully complete this project, consequently. The definitive assessment is now the responsibility of the Council of States. In summary, it must be stated that the introduction of comprehensive compulsory earthquake insurance has thus become a long way off.

According to the EAT in Basildon Academies v Amadi the answer is no.
The details of the case
The Claimant in the case, Mr Amadi, was a Cover Supervisor at the Academies. He breached his contract by not getting his employer's permission to work at Richmond upon Thames College, where he was accused of sexually assaulting a pupil and suspended. However, after the police investigated, no criminal action was taken. But, when the Academies heard about the incident, they dismissed Mr Amadi, claiming he should have reported the allegation made at Richmond upon Thames College, and also for not seeking permission to work elsewhere without permission.
Mr Amadi's unfair dismissal claim was successful, and The Academies appealed, arguing that there was an implied duty for an employee to report allegations of misconduct, as well as an express duty in his contract to do so. However, when the EAT looked at Mr Amadi's contract and the policies in place at the Acadamies, they didn't find any express duty for the employee to report allegations against them, apart from those which were true, so the dismissal couldn't have been fair.
What does all this mean?
Unless it is expressly stated in your employment contract, you will have a hard time getting a tribunal to agree with you.
In this case, there was also no legal requirement for the employee to disclose the information.
If there is a particular behaviour you want to consider 'gross misconduct' you must make it explicitly clear to your employees, or else you may find yourself taken to tribunal!

A centrifuge is a device, which employs a high rotational speed to separate components of different densities. The principle of a centrifuge is based via buoyancy. A component with a higher density would fall to the bottom of a mixture, while the less dense component would be suspended above it.
The main benefit of the centrifuge is in the speed of the process. This process is generally reserved for situations where oil recovery is the main priority and the quality of residual solids is less of a concern.

The CMA is to review long-standing undertakings relating to the National House-Building Council.
The National House-Building Council (NHBC) provides new home structural warranties for over 1.6 million homes in the UK, covering around 80% of new homes.
The undertakings were given in 1995, following an investigation by the Monopolies and Mergers Commission (MMC), which found that some NHBC rules restricted competition from companies looking to offer alternative warranty schemes.
As a result, NHBC amended its rules to remove the restrictions and enable its members to use other warranty providers. It also agreed not to make any further changes to its rules which might have an adverse effect on competition without written consent from the competition authorities.
The NHBC has now requested that the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) review the undertakings. It argues that there is now more competition from other providers and that housebuilders purchasing new home structural warranties now have greater choice. The NHBC also says that changes to regulation and consumer protection have removed the need for it to approve other home warranty schemes used by the NHBC's registered builders – as it is currently required to do by the undertakings.
Buying a new home is one of the largest financial decisions that consumers make. The review will look at how the market for new home structural warranties currently operates to protect home buyers in order to see if there has been a change in circumstances which would justify the removal or variation of the undertakings. The CMA will not be considering wider issues relating to the NHBC as part of this review.

Rosetta contributed again to Queensland Ballet's International Gala. Read on for an article in The Australian
Caption: Rachael Walsh And Christian Tatchev perform the sublime extended tango in Hall of Flame, dedicated to the late Harold Collins. Picture: Ken Sparrow Source: Supplied
Benchmark performance
International Gala 2011 Queensland Ballet
Playhouse Theatre, Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Brisbane. August 5.
IN producing the Queensland Ballet's annual International Gala, artistic director Francois Klaus not only presents new performers and repertoire but a baseline against which his own company might be judged.
The ensemble's strengths are on display in Rosetta Cook's cinematic Hall of Flame, an extended tango dedicated to the late Harold Collins, who guided QB for the better part of two decades. While the younger performers inhabit amusing character roles, Rachael Walsh and Christian Tatchev execute a sublime, slow burning sequence that speaks of their maturity and technical awareness. Later, Nathan Scicluna and Clare Morehen lead a wondrous scene from Klaus's A Midsummer Night's Dream complete with two ballerinas flying from the ceiling.
Larger works are balanced with shorter pieces typical of the gala format. Krasina Pavlova from Staatsballett Berlin performs a cool, detached solo to the music of Dead Can Dance, while her partner Rainer Krenstetter makes a stronger emotional connection in Renato Zanella's Barocco. They unite for a textbook pas de deux that underlines Pavlova's presence on pointe and absolute extension. Two contrasting pieces feature Ambra Vallo and Tyrone Singleton from the Birmingham Royal Ballet, Asaf Messerer's choreography proving the best vehicle for the pair's easy power.
Singapore Dance Theatre artists Tomoko Takahashi and Kenya Nakamura do not fare as well. Nakamura's hesitant partnering leads to major problems in the wedding pas de deux from The Sleeping Beauty; his arms and upper body lacked shape in an unconvincing performance.
Queensland Ballet's newest soloists Hao Bin and Meng Ningning feature in a lopsided overture before capturing the dark romanticism of Giselle. They also show their contemporary repertoire in the world premiere of Short Dialogues by Dutch choreographer Nils Christe.
Panels of light divide the stage as three couples in contrasting colours come into focus before escaping from view. Each pair performs four short pas de deux in a looping sequence, with every step calibrated to the surging strings of Philip Glass's Violin Concerto.
Bodies arch, collapse and spin upside down in ever-changing and surprising patterns as Christe offsets the driving pace with moments of suspended animation.
As is tradition, Klaus addressed the audience at the beginning of the program, arguing that dance draws its power from its ephemeral nature. Short Dialogues singlehandedly validates his claim as a work of rare, fleeting beauty.

Indy Eleven fall in the club's 2019 USL Championship season opener on the road against Saint Louis FC, 2-1. A lone goal from defender Neveal Hackshaw wasn't enough to fend off back-to-back strikes late in the match.
"It's one of those games where we actually played quite well for most of the game," said Indy Eleven Head Coach Martin Rennie. "We took the lead, but I think once we took the lead, we didn't manage the game as well as we should have. We were a little bit too open, we gave away too many free kicks, we didn't' keep possession of the ball well at that point…it was really a five-ten minute spell from when we scored that we just kind of lost focus and that's something we have to improve immediately."
Saint Louis came out of the gate strong in the opening moments of the match. Saint Louis midfielder Lewis Hilton's corner kick in the second minute found the head of captain Sam Fink inside Indy's penalty box near the far post. The ball was ultimately kept from crossing the goal line by last-second heroics from Indy forward Dane Kelly. Hilton followed up with a secondary attack three minutes later with a strike near the top of the box, which fell straight into Eleven goalkeeper Evan Newton's gloves for an effortless save.
Eleven returned fire in the seventh minute as a set-piece play created a chance for Hackshaw, but the new in Blue's header fell to the right of the goal. Eighteen-year-old midfielder Josh Penn found the next chance in the 19th minute with a tight shot after charging in from the left edge of Saint Louis' 18-yard box, which was saved in the corner by Saints keeper Jake Fenlason. A final look at goal in the first half came Kelly, but was blocked, keeping the match scoreless heading into halftime.
Indiana's Team's backline, comprised of defenders Paddy Barrett, Karl Ouimette and Hackshaw, worked in unison to keep Saint Louis' chances in the first half at a minimum. At the final whistle, the trio accounted for a combined 12 clearances, eight interceptions and three tackles.
Indy entered the second half with high intensity, finding the first shot two minutes after the restart. Kelly smashed the left post with a header after Penn initiated the play with a cross from the left flank. Another strong opportunity was handed to Indy in the 60th minute when the Boys in Blue were awarded a penalty after Kelly was brought down in Saint Louis' box. Kelly stepped up to the spot and struck the ball towards the left post, but was saved at extension by Fenlason. The resulting corner kick a minute later was fruitful for Indy, as midfielder Kenney Walker found Hackshaw at the far edge of the six-yard box for a headed goal, opening the defender's scoring account.
Indy's lead was cut short as Saint Louis found the equalizer in the 69th minute. A scramble in the center of Indy's box led to STL defender Phanuel Kavita finding the unassisted goal. A level score line turned into Saint Louis' lead seven minutes later when another scrum of players fought for the ball near the top of Indy's six-yard box. Midfielder Russell Cicerone took his shot, finding the back of the net amongst the chaos. Kelly and substitute forward Eugene Starikov tried to rebound to re-level the score, but the final whistle blew before Indy had the could do so.
The Boys in Blue will have less than a week to regroup before hitting the road again to take on Charlotte Independence. Despite the quick turnaround, Coach Rennie looks to correct mistakes on the road early in the season.
"We have a lot of away games in the beginning of the season this year, so we're going to have to have plenty of practice playing on the road," Rennie said. "If we play like that and we manage the game better, I'm sure we're going to do well in those games. We have to put this one behind us and look forward to the next one."
Indy Eleven returns to regular-season action next Friday, March 15, as the Boys in Blue hit the road to Charlotte Independence. Fans can catch all the action this season on ESPN+. New users can start their seven-day free trial by visiting plus.espn.com.

Outsourcing is not a new buzzword in business. But to the uninitiated, it simply means hiring a person, or a company, to perform duties relevant to your business. There is a myriad of reasons for doing this. It could be that you want to save on cost, and it is also likely that you want the job done by experts.
One obstacle that a business entity faces is finding the right outsourcing partner. With the hundreds of companies that compete globally, how should you choose?
Here is a checklist before outsourcing that will help you make informed decisions.
Reliability and Reputation
You should only do business with companies that have a good reputation, as you do not want your corporation name dragged into business scandals. For many years, we have seen outsourcing companies who couldn't manage their employees. Some of them stole credit card numbers and caused a lot of damage to the business that hired them.
For macro businesses, you must be in the loop of what is happening in your industry, and you must know what security measures are expected from anybody who will handle a part of your business. Use this knowledge to scrutinize what the outsourcing company has to offer.
Let us say that data integrity and customer data protection is important to you. If you need data integrity, you need to ask for proof of server security. Does the outsourcing vendor have strict compliance protocols in handling data? Are the employees trained in laws like PCI and GDPR?
If they have never heard of any of these, you need to move on and keep on looking for a better partner.
Physical Infrastructure
Infrastructure should not be your problem, but you have to supply the specifications of the programs you need. A good outsourcing company must have a space ready for occupancy, and they must know how to build the place according to your business needs.
A company that offers a customer service support offshore must have the appropriate equipment and telecommunications foundation to make your business work. Without it, the company will take at least six months to a year to deploy its employees to serve you.
Availability of Talent Pool
If you are outsourcing because you need a team to manufacture your goods, then Bhutan may not be the best choice, even if you find a reliable outsourcing vendor there. China is a better option, as the country thrives in the manufacturing industry.
If you are looking for English-speaking customer service representatives, the Philippines is your primary option, as the country has been leading the contact center industry in the world for many years.
When you look for a partner, you need to ask where they intend to get the right talent to perform the service you are asking them to do. They need to be able to convince you that their location is strategic enough to have available talents should the need arises.
Choosing the right partner is fundamental to the success of your business. Hire the wrong partner, and you will cause irreparable damage to your company. Hire the right one, and you can focus on exploring growth markets to make your business bigger.

Adam and I are officially on the hunt. House hunt that is.
We brought some snacks for the way 😉
Not the healthiest, but definitely made the car ride searching more enjoyable. Rainbow cookies rule!!!
During the car ride my friend texted me and asked me if I wanted to get in on a leggings purchase since she knows I am a major leggings girl.
There was buy-one, get-one deal going on so I scored these two funky pairs. Figured they'd be fun for Halloween time (since I'm Halloween OBSESSED) or to throw on to workout.
Tonight I wanted to whip up something super easy for dinner. There are some days ( who are we kidding, lotssss of days) when the last thing I feel like doing is cooking. This dish fits the bill.
- 1 spaghetti squash
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 2 tbsp. taco seasoning
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- guacamole
- salsa
- sour cream
- shredded cheddar cheese
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice squash lengthwise in half, scoop out the seeds (can keep to bake and eat, too), poke holes with a fork and bake for 20 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in pan on medium heat.
- Brown the ground beef. For more flavor, first saute' 1/2 diced onion before you add your beef.
- Once meet is browned, bring to low heat and sprinkle on your taco seasoning. I make my own, but store bought is fine! To make your own big batch to have on hand combine: 3 tbsp. chili powder, 1 tbsp. garlic powder, 1 tbsp. onion powder, 1 tbsp. dried oregano, 1.5 tsp. paprika, 1.5 tbsp. cumin)
- Once spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to remove the 'spaghetti' strands.
- Mix shredded cheddar (I used about 1/4 c.) to a portion of squash with sea salt.
- Top with ground beef, guacamole, sour cream and salsa.
- Enjoy!
Viola! Dinner is served. I packed up another bowl of this goodness for tomorrow's lunch.
I made a batch of passion fruit iced tea while dinner cooked.
Bring a big pot of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, remove from heat and add in 3 teabags of your choice and let it steep until cool.
Off to watch some mindless TV 🙂 Now that I've finished 'Stranger Things' on Netflix ( I want MORE, it was so good!!!), I was recommended to watch 'The Night Of' on HBO. It's good stuff.
Cheers! xxJ

Here at Marco, we've experienced a lot of growth in a short period of time. Just looking at the last five years, we've more than doubled our number of employees: from just over 500 employees in 2012 to just over 1,100 employees today. There's no doubt about it, this level of growth is exciting. We've always been very proud of our culture, the communities we serve and the partnerships we build with customers and vendors. And with our recent growth, the question has become this: how do we maintain our culture and all the things we're proud of as we grow?
We do it with the Marco Gold Standard.
What is the Marco Gold Standard?
It's a philosophy we've developed for maintaining Marco's culture and family feel as we continue to grow. Here's the foundation of our Gold Standard:
"We believe best-in-class performance is based on our commitment to a workplace culture that promotes employee engagement, client satisfaction, vendor partnerships and community support."
As you can see, we've identified four key areas of focus. Each area is vital to our culture and the success of our company as a whole. Because of their importance, each area forms a pillar of our Gold Standard. Here's a brief introduction to our four pillars.
Client Satisfaction
Delivering an exceptional client experience has always been at the core of our company culture. We've been regularly surveying our customers since 1994, taking their feedback and using it to improve our services and our offerings. We know from both client feedback and data that we provide top-notch service. We maintain a 98% live-call answer rate and 93% of our customers would recommend Marco to another company. As we grow, we're committed to maintaining those levels of client satisfaction.
Vendor Partnerships
Building and maintaining strong partnerships with vendors is another essential component of our company culture. Our selected vendors share our values and our commitment to customer satisfaction. When working with our vendor partners, we ensure they understand what our expectations are. Some key things we look for are:
- Business ethics and integrity
- Best-in-class performance
- Active engagement
Community Support
Marco has always felt a strong need to support the communities of our clients and our employees. We are committed to being a good corporate citizen by giving back to the communities we serve. As we grow and acquire businesses in new communities, it becomes equally important to support these new areas, too.
In fact, we have a charitable giving budget for each of our regions. All Marco employees can request corporate donations for a charity they're personally involved in. We encourage our employees to be passionate about supporting their communities, and we provide resources to help them.
Employee Engagement
Last, but certainly not least, is our pillar of employee engagement. We are committed to fostering a positive and collaborative work environment. We do this by focusing on three key areas:
- Work satisfaction
- Employee Commitment
- Personal well-being
Throughout our history, there has been no greater predictor of success than happy employees, and we make it a priority to create an atmosphere where our employees can truly enjoy their work. Naturally, we emphasize the importance of our team enjoying what they do, but it doesn't stop there. We also support opportunities to connect with co-workers and initiatives that support good health and reduced stress. We support our employees in many aspects that aren't directly connected to the nature of their work because we believe all areas impact employee engagement.
Each of the four pillars that make up the Marco Gold Standard has designated goals, initiatives, executive sponsors and committees. Preserving our culture as we grow requires more effort and attention, and our Gold Standard gives us a roadmap for ensuring we focus on the areas we value most.

There may come a day when you realize that your elderly mother cannot make important decisions by herself. In these circumstances, it may be in her best interests to have a guardian. At Vincent, Romeo and Rodriguez, LLC, we understand that sometimes it is difficult to know when you should make these decisions for your mother.
When a senior needs a guardian
How can I afford a nursing home?
As a resident of Colorado with aging relatives to care for, you may eventually comes to the decision that it's time for them to get fuller and more comprehensive care at an assisted living facility or a nursing home. We at Vincent, Romeo & Rodriguez, LLC., will help you manage your options in an affordable way.
What are powers of attorney?
When preparing estate plans in Colorado, one must take into consideration who they can put in charge of their affairs if they were to suddenly fall ill or become incapacitated. Power of attorney is a legal document that people can use to designate a person or several people to act as their agents. These people are also known as "attorneys in fact" and have the authority to manage the financial, business and medical affairs of the people they represent. They have a fiduciary responsibility that requires them only to act when it is necessary, states A Place for Mom. There are several types of powers of attorney that people can use when planning their estates.
Adjusting to being your parents' protector
You may be a very accomplished adult with a long list of achievements. And you may be a parent who is successful in your own right. But you will never outgrow being your parent's child. And perhaps you have recently realized that your parents are at a point in their lives where they need your help to a greater degree than they are able to admit. As difficult as this may be for all of you, it could be time for you to assert yourself a bit more in their affairs.
Getting help with your probate problems
The passing of a loved one can be difficult to handle, especially if it was someone to whom you were close. Not only do you have to deal with the emotional aspect of the loss, but it is quite possible that you will play a role in the management of the estate.
Is it time for assisted living?
As a busy resident of Colorado, you have plenty on your plate. Between your work, your home life, your family life, and more, balancing everything and taking care of an elderly relative can be draining. This is especially true if you notice that your loved one is becoming more of a handful than you can manage.

Global Learning Lab
Research indicates that the best foreign language programming provides for opportunities to learn language in the context of culture. This approach allows students to understand the connections between language and its impact on communication and communities. In order to achieve this higher level of language acquisition, we cannot teach foreign language in isolation. It must be taught in a culturally relevant setting. It must also be an integrated approach whereby students have the opportunity to build background information (schema) and experience various cultural aspects of the language being learned. We also know that the younger a student is exposed to other languages, the better they will be able to learn them.
Our Global Learning Lab was developed by keeping these principles of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages in mind. The goals of this curriculum integrate nicely with our music, art and the social sciences. Students are exposed to four languages and the cultures that they represent during their educational experience at PCA. Spanish and other languages are all studied in a cultural context that incorporates music, art, literature and geography. PCA is pleased to partner with Little Linguists for this stellar programming.

Glenn Beck – Serious Political Commentator or Media Mogul ?
With a deadpan, Beck insists that he is not political: "I could give a flying crap about the political process." Making money, on the other hand, is to be taken very seriously, and controversy is its own coinage. "We're an entertainment company," Beck says. He has managed to monetize virtually everything that comes out of his mouth. He gets $13 million a year from print (books plus the ten-issue-a-year magazine Fusion). Radio brings in $10 million. Digital (including a newsletter, the ad-supported Glennbeck.com and merchandise) pulls in $4 million. Speaking and events are good for $3 million and television for $2 million. Over several days in mid-March Beck allowed a reporter to follow him through his multimedia incarnations, with one exception, his 5 p.m. daily show on Fox News, which attracts just under 3 million viewers. (FORBES has a relationship with that channel via Forbes on Fox.)

Do you have a large office space but need to create separated areas for different working teams? Maybe your business involves a lot of people speaking on the phone and you need to find a way to block the sound so others can concentrate? Are you working with sensitive or confidential information and needing to shield computer screens so they can't be seen by those who don't have security clearance? If so, you should think about installing screens in your office space which can help in any, or all, of these situations.
There are two main kinds of office screens you might consider; desk-mounted screens and freestanding screens. Desk screens are ideal if you have desks arranged into banks, or where employees work side by side along benches. They give a sense of privacy and can create pod-style workstations while allowing you to configure your office space in the most efficient way. Desk screens offer the same noise-reducing benefits as larger screens, and are fixed to the desk using mounting brackets. You can choose from a range of styles and options that we offer, including glazed finishes, curved tops, optional tool rails and more.
Freestanding screens are a great solution for dividing a large room into small sections, and are easily moved so that you can be flexible about your room setup. They offer great levels of noise-reduction and privacy, and can even be made into a feature of your office with their colour and design.
We can supply you with a variety of office screens to suit your requirements, and stock screens from well-known brands like Cygnus, Polaris and Omega. Why not give us a call or pop along to our showroom to see the various kinds of screens for yourself and visualise how they could help in your office.

Fireworks Festival is one of the popular events during summer in Japan. Fireworks Festival + Kimono are one of the perfect matches in most of the romantic scenes in Japanese dramas. Most of the tourist would dress in Kimono to attend the fireworks event.
In the recent years, Japan started to promote fireworks festival during fall and winter too; this is a new thing for the elderly Japanese people. Some of them were surprised that the fireworks festival is being held in those seasons.
This is my fifth time participating in Nagono Ebisuke Fireworks Festival (長野えびす花火大會), the annual festival is held every year on November 23, which is also a Thanksgiving Labour Day. In the morning, you can also visit the Jigokudani Monkey Park and Zenko-ji. Here are some tips for those first-timers.
Protect yourself in the cold
This is the most important point. Please do not underestimate how cold it can be.
Japan's winter nights are usually as cold as zero Celsius or so, it would be colder when the festival venue is near a river or a lake like it usually is. The festival usually last for 2 hours, sitting in the outdoor for 2 hours, you must not forget your winter coat, hat, gloves, seating cushion, blanket and warm packets.
On the day of the event, some of them were equipped with blankets and hot water bottles, the Japanese were well prepared for the cold night.
Pay attention to the opening and closing times
Japanese are very punctual, hence the schedule is very strict.
If you don't want to miss out any fireworks and want to enjoy the full show, it is best to enter the venue earlier. Get some snacks before going in and wait for it to start. Maybe because the Winter Fireworks Festival is not as huge as the Summer Fireworks Festival or maybe due to the cold weather, I was able to find a good spot 30 minutes before the show.
Of course, it is an outdoor event, visitors are free to come and go. You don't have to worry about not being able to reach on time.
Most of the show lasted for 2 hours; there is always a time allocation between one fireworks session to another. It is best to have some snack with you while waiting.
After the show, it might take you an hour to leave the parking area; I decided to leave 30 minutes early to avoid the traffic. If you don't mind getting stuck in the traffic, you can wait until the end of the show.
Check the traffic before going
If you are driving there, it is best to check out the parking area before going. Most of parking areas near the festival might be occupied or used for VIP (for paid seating and reserved seating). It might get very crowded. Most of the parking will be fully occupied and it might take you 30 minutes to walk from the parking to the venue. It is recommended to go there in the late afternoon to avoid the traffic and not getting a proper parking spot.
If you are taking public transport such as the bus and train, it is best to reach the venue 1-2 hours earlier to avoid the crowd.
I recommend you use NAVITIME to navigate the route. If you are an Android user, you can only download it in Japan, or you may use a VPN to download it.
Go to the convenient store before the event
Most of the snacks and drinks in the festival are sold at a higher price. It is best to purchase your favorite snacks and drinks at the convenience store before going to the event. You can also get your seating cushions and warm packets in the store (Japanese's convenience stores have everything!) It is recommended to go to the restroom before the event, the event is equipped with restrooms, but you might have to queue for very long time.
Tips for the gentlemen, get some warm drinks at the convenience store for the ladies. The walking distance from the station to the venue is about 30 minutes, it will add to your points, if you are an attentive boyfriend!
Enjoy the Winter Fireworks Festival with these four tips!
Where to find out about the local activities? Most of the big scale events have an official website, if time doesn't permit, it is worth trying the local activities~
Do visit this website: http://www.rurubu.com/event/list.aspx?genre=9
It is equipped with all kinds of activities, hot springs and tour information, but it is mostly in Japanese~ On the top menu, you can pick the type of information and on the left, you can set the date and venue, it will display all the relevant information!
Want to know about local activities? Use NIINJA WiFi! The connection is very stable and fast nationwide!

In this case study, we examine disaster recovery in Galena, a small village in Interior Alaska. In May 2013, a massive ice jam on the Yukon River caused flooding that destroyed much of the community's infrastructure and forced the long-term evacuation of over 66 % of residents. In this work, we analyze the virtual relief networks that developed on the social media site Facebook immediately after the flooding in relation to more traditional media and agency press release activity. By contrasting communication channels, we establish the importance of a connection to outside populations during disaster recovery.

Quality Assurance
Wellspring Calgary is part of an affiliate network of Wellspring centres across Canada, which began in 1992 in Toronto. As part of the network, Wellspring Calgary is subject to regular and rigorous external evaluations by the parent affiliate to ensure our members, volunteers and supporters that Calgary is fulfilling our commitments to the Wellspring brand and essence in delivery high quality, evidence-informed programs, resources and support to people living with cancer.
In every way possible, Wellspring Calgary strives to maximize its mission impact to support patients and caregivers who seek help to manage their cancer experience. This goal transcends, quite literally, every aspect of our organization. Several processes are undertaken in support of program quality, including:
The System Performance Review (SPR)
SPR is a comprehensive, multi-modal evaluation strategy to assess the strength and efficacy of all key components that comprise a Wellspring organization. It is a means to objectively and rigorously assess each key area and, from those findings, identify ways of improving the organization's working strategies to maximize mission impact, system efficiencies, reach, growth, and long-term sustainability.
The primary objective of the SPR is to create, and support, a continual and shared learning process that strengthens the inner workings of individual Wellspring organizations that are affiliates of the Wellspring Cancer Support Foundation, and also the Wellspring network as a whole.
Program Evaluation
Wellspring's commitment to high quality programming requires continual monitoring of program outcomes and members' experiences at Wellspring. This investment in ongoing data collection and analysis is a key input to quality assurances, program development, and efficient operations and delivery.
Wellspring's data collection and program evaluation activities are overseen by Wellspring Calgary's Program Committee, a standing committee of the Board of Directors. It is comprised of individuals with cancer or supportive cancer care knowledge, as well as program development, program evaluation and research expertise.
Wellspring Calgary evaluates each program using data sets specific to each program, probing overall satisfaction of program content and experience, quality of leadership and outcome indices with respect to their cancer support needs. The Program Director and Program Committee use this information to continually work to improve program offerings and outcomes.
Occasionally, Wellspring wishes to acquire knowledge about programs beyond its standard data collection variables (for example, physiologic outcomes of Cancer Exercise, and reduction in professional burnout in reference to the Care for the Professional Caregiver program).
Research protocols complement Wellspring's standard data collection and aim to acquire new knowledge that deepens understanding of supportive care needs or program outcomes. This knowledge supports Wellspring's program development process and provides a presentation and publication platform to share the knowledge and enhance Wellspring's reputation. Research projects can be constructed by Wellspring for its own purposes, or be conducted in collaboration with a credible academic or institutional research organization.

1) Newcastle have lost 5 in a row and have only won 4 in their last 17. Their players minds are clearly on the beach.
2) Alan Pardew – a horrible little bigot and useless manager.
3) Hatem Ben Arfa, Newcastle's only decent player, was reportedly sent back home to France at the weekend.
4) We have players returning from injury. Ozil, Ramsey,
Diaby and Oxlade-Chamberlain are all fit and raring to go.
5) Arsenal players will be highly motivated. With FA Cup places to play for and 4th within our sites, they should know what they have to do.

As an animal lover, your life quickly becomes incomplete without the friendship of your furry four-legged friend. They are fantastic company, provide unconditional love and teach us compassion. Adding to their incredible charm is the many benefits of owning a pet on a person's health and wellbeing.
Pets reduce stress and anxiety
Hearing a cat's purr or feeling your dog tucked up against your feet is guaranteed to make you feel secure, so it's no surprise that your pet helps in alleviating your stress and anxiety. Your four-legged friend can also reduce feelings of loneliness and be a source of comfort. Patting your pet or just being near them can immediately make you feel better, even reduce your blood pressure and improve your heart health1!
Pets boost your fitness
The benefits of exercise aren't new to anyone. When you're active you're simultaneously improving your physical and mental health, all the while reducing stress. This is why attaching your dog's lead and going for daily walks is so beneficial. Walks and activities will get you outside, breathing that fresh air and appreciating the goings on in your neighbourhood.
Pets boost your mood
Your biggest fan in the world is your pet who loves you unconditionally. They show how excited they are when you get home with a purr or wagging tail, and are non-judgmental and agenda-free. They just love you, no matter what, and as a result your self-esteem is boosted. This love has a domino effect, it improves your mood, which then improves your confidence.
Pets boost immunity
Children who grow up around pets have a reduced risk of developing allergies to cats, dogs, dust mites, short ragweed and blue grass2. Research suggests that early exposure to the bacteria pets carry helps their immune systems early, so that they can resist allergies later.
Don't forget pets are a big responsibility and can be expensive so contact your local shelter first so they can connect you with a wonderful animal. Not only can they bring you happiness, they'll also bring you and your family better health.

Recordings of the U.S. Department of Education's (Department's) Office of State Support webinars focused on helping leaders in state educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs) build systems to enable selection and monitoring of interventions that will improve outcomes for students in accordance with ESSA.
The Communications and Engagement Assessment Rubric aims to help State education leaders confirm areas of strength and identify areas of need and provide suggested steps for sharpening strategies, building capacity and enhancing reach.
This four-part series of briefs published by the Reform Support Network explains how Race to the Top States are pursuing performance management of key education reforms. Topics include setting outcomes and strategies, aligning resources to reforms, collecting and using data, and ensuring accountability.
The Sustainability Rubric for Local Educational Agencies is a tool for LEAs to assess the sustainability of a specific priority reform—a body of work that an LEA is undertaking in order to achieve two or more priority goals for student outcomes.
The Sustainability Rubric is a tool to help SEAs assess the sustainability of a specific priority reform. The wide-ranging 20-element rubric is broad in scope while illustrative of what sustainability resembles at various levels (from inadequate to exemplary), with "look-fors" and elements to add clarity.
Using Evidence in State Education Agencies to Strengthen Education Investments and Achieve Student Outcomes
This webinar is designed for SEA leaders seeking to build their capacity to use evidence when supporting Local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools to select and implement interventions that will improve outcomes for students in accordance with ESSA.
In the final webinar of the three-part series on using evidence, attendees learned from district leaders bout the district's use of evidence to monitor implementation, and measure the impact, of two programs demonstrating positive results for students.
In the second webinar of the three-part series on using evidence, attendees learned from a district leader about the district's use evidence to plan for and implement a systems approach to accelerate student achievement in persistently low-achieving schools.
In the first webinar of this three-part series, attendees learned from a district leader about the use of evidence in assessing the local needs of schools and designing a blended learning project.

Research Credit (Courses Numbered 5989/7989)
Graduate courses numbered 5989/7989 were designed primarily to fulfill an enrollment requirement of one credit hour for graduation or for access to facilities needed to complete research for a thesis, product of learning or other capstone experience. The 5989/7989 course number may also be used by a student who needs full-time status, provided that the student meets the following criteria: a) the student has already completed all required and elective course work; and b) the student is actively engaged in research for a thesis, product of learning, and/or other capstone course.
- A student may enroll in one to three (1-3) hours of courses numbered 5989/7989 during any given semester to count toward full-time status for a tuition remission, a scholarship, or an assistantship.
- Graduate courses numbered 5989/7989 cannot be included for credit in a program of study.
- A student will be charged the regular tuition rate for course work numbered 5989/7989 used toward full-time status rather than as the continuous enrollment requirement (reserved for students whose only graduation shortage is either a thesis or product of learning defense, or a comprehensive exam).

GWMWater will ensure 12 key recreational lakes and weir pools across the Wimmera and Mallee remain full through to Easter as the region braces for a long, hot summer.
The water authority started directing water from its Grampians storages through its pipelines to 10 of the water bodies in July and aims to have the task completed this month.
Northern Mallee Pipeline supply has already filled Ouyen Lake and Green Lake near Sea Lake.
Article continues below
While winter and spring rain failed to deliver quality inflows to key storages across the Grampians, managing director Mark Williams said the water authority's commitment to recreational supply was assured for summer.
"They don't take great volumes of water, but they are the focus of communities gathering together over summertime," he said.
"This supply will get them through to Christmas time and they might require some more leading up to Easter."
Weir pools at Warracknabeal, Brim and Beulah, Hopetoun's Lake Lascelles, Donald Caravan Park Lake and Murtoa's Lake Marma are among those receiving recreational supply.
With summer looming, the latest information reveals:
• The Grampians storage system is at 43.6 percent of capacity, down from 50.73 percent at the same time last year;
• Much of the Grampians catchment recorded below average rainfall between July and September, with inflow at 34 percent of the historical average for the three months;
• The Bureau of Meteorology's rainfall outlook for the Grampians catchment between October and December is for less than a 25 percent chance of median rain;
• And the Bureau of Meteorology also expects daytime temperatures to be above average over the same period.
Water resources and recreation strategy co-ordinator Bernie Dunn said an annual survey commissioned by the Wimmera Development Association showed that recreational water bodies played a strong role in helping keep people and rural economies healthy.
The survey, in its fourth year, examines the socio-economic value of recreational and environmental water in the Wimmera and Southern Mallee across 20-plus water bodies.
"If you look at the direct expenditure by people camping and day visitors at the 10 water bodies filled at the Grampians end that we are talking about, it comes in at more than $3-million a year," Mr Dunn said.
"The total economic flow-on benefit to the region is about $10-million."
Mr Dunn said consultants Street Ryan would start its next survey this month.

Free Rice for the Hungry, Free Vocabulary Fun for You
URL for this page: http://tinyurl.com/255u9a
The Fun Part
You can give free rice to hungry people, play a free game, and improve your vocabulary, all in the same key stroke at a new web site called FreeRice.
If you're one of my regular readers at We Can Do: my apologies. I know you usually come here to find new resources, information, news, or announcements related to poverty and human rights among disabled people in developing countries. Usually I do try to stay very tightly focused on issues of disability and international development at this blog. But this post IS still about poverty, even though it's not specific to disabled people. And, more importantly, it IS still a holiday for most readers. So what the heck. I'll indulge, this once. And I hope you'll indulge with me.
(For those of you who have been paying attention to the last few posts at this blog: the holiday season in general is one reason why I have been posting fewer new resources and devoting more time in the past week to long-term improvements to this web site. For example, see the new pages on accessibility; announcements for conferences, events, call for papers, and training opportunities; navigating We Can Do to help new readers quickly find the resources they need at this blog site; and news. I WILL start posting more fresh content soon, so do stay tuned. And consider subscribing to We Can Do so you don't miss anything.)
If you've been reading the right blogs lately, then the image near the top of this page might look familiar. For those of you who are not able to view this image, I'll describe it: this is a horizontal "banner." At the left-hand side is a brown wooden bowl with a few grains of white rice in it. (Hm. Wouldn't brown rice be healthier?) At the right-hand side, the text says: "Free Rice" on the first line in large letters and "Play and Help!" on the second line in medium sized letters. The background on the left side is a medium/dark green; on the right side, it's a lighter shade of green with what I think is supposed to be a blurry image of rice plants. FreeRice has a number of other similar-looking banners available. [Sorry–I'm describing the image here instead of using alt tags because I don't have a clue how to use alt tags. If you do, please take a few moments to advise me in the comments area below and I'll fix it.]
So how does FreeRice work? Simple. Go to www.freerice.com. You will see a vocabulary word at the top of the screen and four possible definitions or synonyms. Choose the one you think is the closest match. If you guess correctly, FreeRice will give 20 grains of rice to hungry people. Then, if you like, you can continue playing. If you're sighted and able to view images with your computer equipment, then you'll also see a picture of a bowl of rice filling up each time free rice is given.
This game is tailored to the vocabulary skill of each player who participates. If you answer three vocabulary questions in a row correctly then it gives you a more challenging word. If you continue to guess correctly, the words become harder and harder. If you miss one, it gives you an easier word. If you keep missing, the words become easier and easier. Until you start to answer correctly again. There are 50 vocabulary levels. So nearly all people should be able to find a level that is comfortable for them whether you're learning English as a second language or whether you're a vocabulary geek.
You might wonder: if this game is free, then where does the money come from to pay for all the rice that's going to hungry people? It comes from advertisers. There is an advertisement banner at the bottom of the screen. The ad in this banner changes every time you guess a new word. The more you play, the more ads you see. And the advertisers are obviously hoping that more people playing FreeRice will translate into more sales for their products, or more donations to their charitable causes.
You can guess one word or guess a million. Play for just one day or play every day the rest of your life. Or anything in between. It's all up to you. The more you play, the more rice you give–and, in theory, the more vocabulary you learn. I say "in theory" because I've read some criticism somewhere (sorry, don't remember where) that says vocabulary games like this one may not be necessarily the best way to learn vocabulary. But I'm sure it can't hurt. And if you're serious about it, you could use the game to develop a vocabulary study list and find other ways to rehearse the words you see. (Hint: double check your understanding with a dictionary. And use it in a sentence.)
Accessibility for Blind People
I'm not able to evaluate whether the FreeRice site is accessible to people who use screen readers. If this is you, I would be curious to learn about your experience there. Since the game itself is text-based, I'm guessing there should not be any major problems with it. Though I'm also guessing that the ads won't be very accessible, unless a given advertiser thinks to use the alt tag for their images. And you won't see that rice bowl filling up.
The Serious Part
This blog post deviates from the usual We Can Do post in two ways. One, as noted above, it's not about disability. (Though disabled people do certainly starve also. In fact, given that disabled people are more likely to experience poverty, it's probably safe to assume that people with disabilities are also more likely to go hungry.) Two, my normal focus in this blog is on finding long-term solutions to long-standing problems. Thus, things like how to better include disabled people in large-scale, long-term poverty reduction strategies. Or how to ensure that disabled children in developing countries are not left behind when their governments try to bring more children into the classroom.
In this view: one criticism I do have for the FreeRice site is that it offers a temporary fix for something that is, for far too many people, a chronic problem. In the long run, it's not enough to keep shipping free rice to hungry people. That feeds them today, but it doesn't help them feed themselves tomorrow or next year. That means we also need to invest in more long-term strategies for fighting poverty. That means more schools so that the 77 million children out of school can enter the classroom for the first time. And we need more textbooks and better quality teachers–and possibly more computers–so that children already in the classroom will learn something while they're there. Poor people who have entrepreneurial skills need small business loans so they can lift themselves out of poverty with their own hard work. And we need to give more aid dollars directly to organizations based in developing countries who are running great projects to fight HIV/AIDS, deliver clean drinking water, or abolish poverty.
But this is not a slam against FreeRice, per se. In fact, I sometimes play this game myself. Yes, more chronic forms of hunger do need a long-term fix. But hunger can also be a short-term emergency, such as during a time of war (though wars, unfortunately, can sometimes be long-term) or in the first few months after a natural disaster. And short-term emergencies, unfortunately, will always happen. Therefore, we will always, to some extent, actually need short-term fixes like FreeRice.
I just feel compelled to point out the need for long-term solutions because I worry that some people in industrialized countries are too quick to donate time (or money) to easy, "feel-good" causes that don't actually solve problems. If you really want to help, then don't just help. Instead, make it possible for people to help themselves.
But, there's nothing wrong with also having a little fun at freerice.com.
In that spirit: Here's wishing you a Happy New Year. May the year 2008 be delightful and fruitful for you. And for those of you who work to ensure that disabled people are not left out when governments and organizations fight poverty and speak out for human rights: I hope all your endeavors this year will be successful ones.
