THEME: LET’S TAKE CARE OF OUR CHILDREN (THEME TOPIC FOR TEACHERS TO DISCUSS WITH STUDENTS) HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN 1. Children’s basic needs for health and safety: A good home environment –Adequate medical care, food, clothing, shelter, and above all, love and kindness. Peace and harmony begin at home. Newborns and toddlers are children that need special care and constant supervision from the moment they are born. Newborns are safest when they sleep near their parents, but not in the same bed. Bedsharing with infants or placing an infant in a cluttered crib has been linked to tragic deaths in which babies suffocate. 2. Child Safety: The leading cause of serious injury in children under 4 years old are falls. The leading causes of death among children under 4 years old are drowning and pedestrian deaths. 3. It shouldn’t hurt to be a child. Ways to recognize child abuse and neglect, and abusive situations. 4. How abusive situations can be avoided. SOME EXAMPLES: 1. SAFE SLEEPING TIPS FOR NEWBORNS: The back to sleep position is the safest for naps and at night. There is no increased risk of choking (back to sleep). “Tummy Time is Awake Time” Babies should always be placed on a firm sleep surface such as a crib mattress. Babies should never be placed on a couch or on pillows, quilts or other soft surfaces to sleep. Parents should always put their babies back in the crib or bassinet before they fall asleep. Soft items should always be kept away from babies faces. 2. SAFE HAVEN LAW Safely surrender unwanted newborns to hospitals and fire departments within the first 72 hours (3 days) of birth. Parents can give up their baby safely and confidentially without fear of their identities being revealed. Once the parent has safely turned over the baby, they are free to go. The purpose of the Safely Surrendered Baby Law is to protect babies from being abandoned by their parents and potentially being hurt or killed. 3. CYBER CRIME PREVENTION Everything written on the Internet is public information and can be read by anyone online so users should think before they post. Never say bad things about other people online and practice good etiquette. Cyber pals are strangers. Never agree to get together with someone you meet online. Tell a parent, teacher, or trusted adult if you see anything on the Internet that makes you feel uncomfortable. 4. CYBERBULLYING Bullying can happen anywhere: face-to-face, by text message or on the web. It is not limited to age, gender, or education level. It is not a phase and it is not a joke. Using the Internet, mobile phones or other digital technologies can cause as much harm to others as physical bullying. Always think about what you post or say. Do not share secrets, photos or anything that might be embarrassing to you or others. If you or someone you know is being cyberbullied, talk with someone you trust. Do not respond to cyberbullying. If someone has posted or sent a message that could be hurtful to others, refuse to pass it along or respond to it. Block the person who is cyberbullying you. Report the incident to your school. They may be able to help you resolve the cyberbullying or be watchful for face-to-face bullying. Ask for help. Sometimes talking to a counselor or health professional can help you get through the emotional effects of bullying. 5. BULLYING Keep in mind that no one deserves to be bullied. Bullying can cause lasting harm. Students who are the target of bullying or who witness incidents of bullying often do not know how to react. Classroom discussion and activities help students learn how to react appropriately and safely. Try to avoid engaging in acts of bullying and seek help from an adult. Report bullying incidents you witness at school to an adult. Encourage others to report bullying incidents and help them report if they cannot do it alone. Support someone who has been hurt by offering kind words in private. Show your disappointment in the behavior by not joining in while someone publicly humiliates, teases, or harasses another and do not participate in the gossip or rumors being spread. 6. Parents need to follow and teach CAR SAFETY RULES: Never start your car until you know where all your children are. Check around, behind and under your car. Children should never play in or around cars. Never leave your child in the car alone, even for a minute. Always take your child with you. 7. POSITIVE PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIPS help a child feel significant, valued and secure. It only takes a minute to brighten a child’s life. Parents need to: Feed me, keep me safe and warm. Talk to me, teach me how to play, play with me and listen when I talk. Be patient with me – don’t use words that hurt – use words that help. Encourage me, believe in me and tell me you love me. 8. Always let an adult know where you are. 9. Trust your inner voice if something seems wrong. 10. Tell an adult you trust, such as a relative, mentor, favorite teacher, principal, family friend or school nurse when you are afraid or confused or if someone is bothering you. 11. Never go with a stranger. Run or yell if a stranger tries to force you to go somewhere. 12. Keep your doors locked during the day. Do not open doors for strangers or tell anyone at the door that you are alone. 13. Use the “buddy system.” Walk or play with other children. Do not go to public places, especially restrooms, alone.

Kicking off on Saturday, October 8 in Oakland, Braxton will tour more than 20 cities, ending with a show in Atlantic City, NJ on Saturday, November 12. Most recently, Braxton released “Love, Marriage & Divorce,” a duets album with Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds. The album took off behind “Hurt You,” the Urban AC #1 duet hit co-written by Toni Braxton & Babyface (with Daryl Simmons and Antonio Dixon), and produced by Babyface. The two also shared the win for Best R&B Album at the 2015 GRAMMY Awards. Today, with over 67 million in sales worldwide and seven GRAMMY Awards, Braxton is recognized as one of the most outstanding voices of this generation. Her distinctive sultry vocal blend of R&B, pop, jazz and gospel became an instantaneous international sensation when she came forth with her first solo recording in 1992. Braxton stormed the charts in the 90’s with the releases of “Toni Braxton” and “Secrets,” which spawned the hit singles and instant classics; “Another Sad Love Song,” “Breathe Again,” “You’re Makin’ Me High,” and “Unbreak My Heart.” Today, Braxton balances the demands of her career with the high priorities of family, health and public service as she raises her two sons Denim and Diezel. This year Toni was the Executive Producer of the highly-rated Lifetime movie “Unbreak My Heart” which was based on her memoir and she is the star of the WEtv hit reality series Braxton Family Values in its fifth season.

  • How to Make a Difference at a Planning Commission Or City Council Hearing
    How to Make a Difference at a Planning Commission or City Council Hearing by Amanda Fritz, Portland Planning Commission member 1996 - 2003 1. Provide information, in plenty of time and in useful formats. 2. Be polite and respectful, both to the decision-makers and to any opponents. 3. Plan your testimony, and use your time wisely. 4. Say what you want the decision-makers to do, clearly and repeatedly, and why. 5. Know the rules, and quote them. 6. The Rule of Three - Tell them, tell them again, tell them what you told them. 7. Organize diverse participation with more than a single constituency. 8. Use Meeting Mechanics to your advantage. 9. Use Personal Contacts to your advantage. 10. Be gracious in victory and defeat - use either to prepare for Next Time. ****************************************************************************** * How to Make a Difference at a Planning Commission or City Council Hearing 1. Provide information, in plenty of time and in useful formats. Often, decision-makers don't know as much about the issue as you do. They have to vote on multiple issues, week after week. You care most about one item on their agenda, and can research it in far greater detail than they can. Your goal is to convince them your position has more support (factually and/or in citizen popularity) than the other side. • Present your position in several formats. Different people have different ways of processing information. So provide a one-page overview with bullets, for those who don't read much, followed by several pages with all the details you feel are important, for those who like to consider all the facts.

  • The Deadly Affairs of John Figaro Newton Or a Senseless Appeal to Reason and an Elegy for the Dreaming
    The deadly affairs of John Figaro Newton or a senseless appeal to reason and an elegy for the dreaming Item Type Thesis Authors Campbell, Regan Download date 26/09/2021 19:18:08 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/11260 THE DEADLY AFFAIRS OF JOHN FIGARO NEWTON OR A SENSELESS APPEAL TO REASON AND AN ELEGY FOR THE DREAMING By Regan Campbell, B.F.A. A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing University of Alaska Fairbanks May 2020 APPROVED: Daryl Farmer, Committee Chair Leonard Kamerling, Committee Member Chris Coffman, Committee Member Rich Carr, Chair Department of English Todd Sherman, Dean College of Liberal Arts Michael Castellini, Dean of the Graduate School Abstract Are you really you? Are your memories true? John “Fig” Newton thinks much the same as you do. But in three separate episodes of his life, he comes to see things are a little more strange and less straightforward than everyone around him has been inured to the point of pretending they are; maybe it's all some kind of bizarre form of torture for someone with the misfortune of assuming they embody a real and actual person. Whatever the case, Fig is sure he can't trust that truth exists, and over the course of his many doomed relationships and professional foibles, he continually strives to find another like him—someone incandescent with rage, and preferably, as insane and beautiful as he. i Extracts “Whose blood do you still thirst for? But sacred philosophy will shackle your success, for whatsoever may be your momentary triumph or the disorder of this anarchy, you will never govern enlightened men.

  • Devotions 71-80
    71 Scripture: Ephesians 4:25-32 Pastor Wayne Memory Verse: Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Have you ever been to the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California? Sarah Winchester, heir to the Winchester Rifle Company fortune, built the home in the late 1800’s. After the death of her husband and child she was told by a medium that she needed to build a house for all of the people that were killed by Winchester rifles. Construction on the house was continuous for 38 years 24 hours a day. There are roughly 161 rooms, including 40 bedrooms, 2 ballrooms (one completed and one unfinished) as well as 47 fireplaces, over 10,000 panes of glass, 17 chimneys (with evidence of two others), two basements and three elevators and 20,500 US gallons of paint! It is obvious that Sarah had some mental and emotional problems, but she did have a good idea for you and I to apply to our marriage: Never stop building! . The word edify (vs. 29) means “to build up”. It comes from two root words, both meaning house or home. We should never stop building our marriage. Keep working on it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every year until you die. Someone once said that buying a house is buying a never-ending project. There is always something to work on, something to fix, and new additions or changes to be made.

Woodruff Department of Music Duke University Date:_______________________ Approved: ___________________________ Louise Meintjes, Supervisor ___________________________ John L.

Woodruff 2009 Abstract This dissertation documents African-American girls’ musical practices at a Boys and Girls Club in Durham, NC. Hip-hop is the cornerstone of social exchanges at John Avery, and is integrated into virtually all club activities. Detractors point to the misogyny, sexual exploitation and violence predominant in hip-hop’s most popular incarnations, suggesting that the music is a corrupting influence on America’s youth. Girls are familiar with these arguments, and they appreciate that hip-hop is a contested and sometimes illicit terrain. Yet they also recognize that knowledge about and participation in hip-hop-related activities is crucial to their interactions at the club, at school, and at home.
