When trying to get clean off addicting drugs, there is no such thing as “I’ll just do it ONE more time, then I’ll get help”.
To quit you have to be in the mindset that you do not want this anymore AT ALL. If you’re thinking “I’ll just do it one more time then quit”. 99% of the time, you won’t quit. You have to REALLY want to quit and not do it EVER again.
Goodwills are more or less a reflection of where they are located, meaning buying from a Goodwill near you is like going to a local yard sale. Where as going elsewhere can be a treasure trove. The more expensive the area the more stuff you’ll find; often people of certain wealth do not want to be seen shopping at Goodwill and will only drop items off.
Most ATMs that are not owned by your bank charge a $2-4 fee. Buying something small at a convenience store and asking for cash back will often save you a few dollars. Bonus: A refreshing ice tea is your reward for saving money.
After watching someone chase their dog around for 20 minutes(the dog thinking it was a game) I walked over and layed down. The dog immediately came over to lick my face and I grabbed its collar.
People feel more valued or in control if they get to make choices about the task ahead. I learned from taking care of my nephew that if I ask him “What do you want for lunch?” It can turn into an endless thing about why I don’t have his favourite food or why we can’t go to McDonalds. Instead I say “Do you want pasta or toasted sandwiches for lunch?” He makes a choice and feels some measure of control even though I have maintained control over what I have to make.
This can be manipulative but if you’re managing a team of people with a lot less experience than you it can be tempting to map out every aspect of how they do a job. Some jobs are highly complex and time-sensitive and have to be done a certain way. Wherever possible find areas where people working under you can make choices or use initiative safely. They are more likely to take pride in what they’re doing and take ownership of the task if they have some measure of input.
Instead of focusing on everything you need to get done at once, take it one step at a time. When you’re done with that task, take a couple minute breather and go on to the next one.
Whatever idea or task you have, write it down somewhere. Once you have written everything down, your mind becomes decluttered and free from distractions. Since you know that your thoughts are safely stored somewhere, it removes the incessant feeling of “I need to remember… something” in your brain. This makes you completely focus on the task at hand.
Most people would agree that the idea of speaking in front of large groups of people can be terrifying, and so we tend to avoid it whenever possible. There are times, however, when we are faced with the task and there’s no running away: we must say a few words. The following is a template for success which you can use when it’s your turn to speak, in just about any type of gathering, formal or informal.
1. The Greeting
“Good…”
The greeting is the easy part. You begin by simply wishing your audience a good morning, afternoon, evening, or whatever time of day it is. **Good* evening everybody…*
2. State the Event
“As we all know…”
The second part is also very easy: You simply state the obvious and remind everybody what the purpose of the event or celebration is, and what you’re all doing there. **As we all know,* we’re here to celebrate the marriage of John and Kate, and to show them our support as they begin their journey of love and life together…* Now you’ve got the ball rolling, and the words are coming out easily. You look like you know what you’re doing up there, and people are listening. So now, it’s time to….
3. Establish Common Ground
“We’ve all…”
It’s important to include your audience as part of the message you’re delivering. Talk about something both yourself and your audience can relate to regarding the event or celebration. **We’ve all* had the wonderful opportunity to get to know John and Kate and enjoy watching their love develop…*
4. State Why You’re Speaking
“I…”
Include a personal account, or tell a brief story to let people know why you specifically are talking. What gives you the right to be speaking..? **I’ve* personally been very lucky to have John as a close friend of mine, and it’s been quite amazing to watch how he’s grown as a person, and couldn’t be more pleased for him to have found someone like Kate to go about his life with…*
5. Call for Action
“So let’s all…”
Finally, close your speech with a call for action. This lets everybody know that you’re finished without you having to awkwardly say “That’s it!” or “I’m finished, thank you”…that is how every weak speech is concluded and makes the audience uncomfortable. You should say something like **”So let’s all* raise a glass to John and Kate, and wish them well. Cheers!” or, So Let’s all give a big round of applause to Mark for the outstanding job he’s done while working with the company”*
Obviously, there are many different ways these leading lines can be used, but if you can commit them to memory and be prepared to use them next time you might be asked to speak, you will let go of all fear and anxiety, and people will be SO impressed with your ability to get up and give a confident, fluent speech in front of a group of people, while looking like you didn’t even have to prepare! Good luck, and happy public speaking!
A lot of parents do not understand the difference between their emotional response to a misbehaving child and the lesson needed to actually fix the misbehavior. Consistent punishment without context breeds children fearful of trying anything new or angering peers. It is a slippery slope to child abuse.
My new dog keeps going to the bathroom in the house: First thing to consider in this situation is, where was the animal living while at the shelter? some shelters may keep their animals in runs or cells and often these animals don’t get walked. That creates a habit of the animal being used to using the bathroom inside. Proactive walking really helps correct this problem! Take your dog out often in the first few weeks and then start to dial it back gradually.
Our kitty was so friendly and playful at the shelter, now she just hides all day, I don’t think that we’re “connecting”: Your kitty was so happy and playful because she was somewhere she was accustomed to. Imagine, you may have shared a room with a friend, had a set schedule. All of a sudden you were taken, probably put in a cardboard box (also DONT LEAVE CATS IN CARDBOARD CARRIERS!! Cats are sensitive to over heating and it could have life threatening implications. Bring your own well ventilated carrier when adopting) went for a scary ride and were dumped out into a strange environment alone and away from everyone you knew. Give kitty time, she’ll get into a rhythm with you. The best thing you can do right now is provide a clean litter box, fresh water and proper feeding at set times. DONT DRAG KITTY OUT FROM UNDER THE BED, this only enforces the need to find a better spot to hide.
New Fido does nothing but bark non-stop all day: FIRST OFF, this complaint usually comes from apartment dwellers. If you’re adopting a dog make sure beforehand that your lease allows pets. Don’t just get a dog then when your land lord shows up to say you have to get rid of it claim that it’s a service dog/your just watching it for a friend. Fido is alone! Fido used to be in a place where there was a lot of commotion and all this silence is weird! HOOMAN WHERE DID YOU GO?? Dogs are pack animals, and when they’re alone they feel vulnerable. Long walks and playtime before you have to leave for an extended period of time are good remedies to this. Leave a TV on on a low volume to shield all the scary outside noises. In my personal experience crate training was a great tool, but don’t get one too big or too small (big enough to stand up without ducking the head, and and turn around in). This method was recommended to me by my vet and just happened to work, but it may not work for you. Professional consultation about a dogs excessive barking habits is never a bad idea. All relationships take work!
Why does my new pet act so lethargic? They were so full of energy when we first met! It’s what I liked about her!: What are you feeding her? Is it the same food she was eating at the shelter? Sudden changes in diet can trigger upset tummies and more negative consequences. Food changes should be done gradually, consult your vet on the best way to do this if they start showing signs of stomach upset. It also has to do with the stress of being in a new environment, all these knew sights and smells are exhausting to process!
Our new pet doesn’t get along with our existing ones: This. One. Is. huge. How would you feel if your s/o, roommate brought home some guy named chad and was like “oh yea, chad lives here now.” Dogs (even though they’re pack animals), and cats can be very territorial. This behavior may have only shown up when you caught kitty- hair standing on end making those hilarious guttural meowing noises; kitty doesn’t understand that this new kitten is “pet of the family now” and not the evil outdoor neighbor cat. Even though you’re in the same household, introductions should be done gradually. Giving each animal an opportunity to sniff and item that has the others scent on it, allowing them to sniff though doors etc. if your bringing a new dog home to your existing dogs, consider taking them to a dog park or anywhere fenced in that’s not your house. This gives them the chance to interact and also escape each other if they feel really threatened, and it’s not on territory that your dog may be trying to defend. Make sure interactions are positive, this doesn’t mean that they get along every time- but that the animals get praise for not being aggressive.

According to the book, Nicks quickly got involved in drugs after joining the band, becoming addicted to cocaine, Quaaludes, alcohol, and cigarettes, which caused her to faint and fall down on stage. The singer reportedly wore a pendant filled with cocaine around her neck so she would never have to be without the drug.

Do you mean survive based solely on their MMA prowess? Nope.
Daryell Dickson Meneses Xavier was a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor who was accused of sexually abusing his 1 year old stepson, leading to a seizure and eventually the child’s death.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the the martial art that the winner of most of the early UFCs used. And is now an integral part of almost every MMA fighter’s training.
Despite almost certainly being the best fighter in the jail, once the other inmates discovered what he was accused of, he didn’t stand a chance.
According to reports, at his initial 30-day incarceration, the perpetrator is said to be brutally raped by his 20- fellow inmates as he awaited for a hearing of his case before a presiding judge – receiving vigilante justice. After the initial assault, Xavier was then tended to by the jail’s medical staff with numerous sutures across his back and noticeably on his anal area.
However, he was then instituted back to the prison where he received another round of prison justice, raped and otherwise abused for the second time tearing out the fresh stitches from the wounds, brutalizing him more. Injuries became more prominent over his entire body especially on the region of his back side.
An image of Xavier following the savage attacks was posted on the internet – attesting the form of justice he has undergone from the bloody stains on his back.
No matter how good a fighter you are, numbers will always win. An amazing fighter might be able to take on a higher number, but if you have a whole cell block against you then you’re out of luck. I imagine that BJJ, which relies heavily on grappling and submission, is especially ill suited for multiple opponents.

We have had the best women’s tennis player of all-time (Serena) do just what you asked, albeit she was 16 at the time, before her peak, and two years before she would reach 4th in the world for women’s tennis. And the guy was ranked 203rd in the world, not 2,000th — though a couple weeks after he would fall to below 350.
Let’s take a look at what happened:
1998: Karsten Braasch vs. the Williams sisters
Another event dubbed a “Battle of the Sexes” took place during the 1998 Australian Open between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena Williams, aged 17 and 16 respectively, had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world’s top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. Braasch was described by one journalist as “a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple bottles of ice cold lager.”
The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park, after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two beers. He first took on Serena and after leading 5–0, beat her 6–1. Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2.
Braasch said afterwards, “500 and above, no chance.” He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game “fun.”
Braasch said the big difference was that men can chase down shots much easier, and that men put spin on the ball that the women can’t handle. The Williams sisters adjusted their claim to beating men outside the top 350.
An 18 year old 4th ranked Serena Williams claimed she could compete with men in professional sport; the US Open champion believing she could take on and beat the best players in the men’s game. Nothing ever came to be from this claim.
Interesting to repeat: Braasch in a manner of a couple weeks fell below 350th. So you see just how small a deviation there is in the men’s rankings for hundreds of spots. Considering this, I think his statement anyone in the top 500 would smoke both sisters, is spot on.
Men’s sports vs Women’s sports is Night and Day.
I think Serena would get beaten by the #2,000 male ATP player.
A similar question was once answered by an ex College Player and Satellite player: Laurence Shanet’s answer to Which ranking should a male tennis player be to lose with the #1 female player?
Female pros play male players all the time. They seek out male college players as practice partners precisely because they give the top women all they can handle. At full gas, any top ranked Division 1 male college player will routinely beat the world’s top female professional players quite comfortably, and most of those males can’t even get a computer ranking.
Here’s more:
After their drubbing by Braasch, the thing the Williams sisters noted was that he was able to comfortably get to all the shots they expected to be clean winners. Against their WTA opposition, those shots were weapons, but against any high level male player, they are just rally balls. The higher shot tolerance of the men means that the top women really don’t have any weapons they can hurt elite men’s players with. This is true for the 1000 ranked player as much as the one ranked 100. Further, the top women don’t have to face the combination of spin, pace and angle that the men generate. So they’d be facing shots they aren’t trained to return and can’t. As Chris Brandi correctly points out below, Serena’s first serve would seem average at best to her male opponents, and this is the shot she depends on to win her a lot of points.
Annnnnnnnnd the dagger:
There is now a metric that rates the relative level of all tennis players, regardless of age, sex, etc. It’s called Universal Tennis Rating (seeUniversal Tennis). It uses actual competitive results and data to make its assessments, and is constantly being improved as more data is added. But it already gives a fairly accurate idea of how male and female players might compare to each other across the board. Top male players such as Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, and Roger Federer are rated as level 16 (they use decimal places to provide further comparison as needed). For reference, the male player currently ranked 500 in the world (Yannick Hanfmann) is rated as a 15. Most of the men ranked on the computer below 1000 (down to 2200 or so where the rankings stop), are either 14 or 15. Serena Williams, the best women’s player in the world, is rated as 13. This is completely in line with what you’d expect, and is equivalent to a mid-level male college player.
Soccer was my sport, not tennis. Same thing applies.
The US Mens U-17 soccer team played the USWNT three months before they won the Gold at the Olympics. The U-17 Men’s team won 8-2.
They also routinely lose to the U-15 squad!
The US Women’s team at the time was the #1 ranked women’s team in the world, club or nation, World Cup runner ups (2011), soon to be Olympic Gold Medalists, and later on World Cup winners (2015). The Barcelona of women’s soccer. And high schoolers between 15–17 years old slaughtered them.
That is the equivalent of the Men’s German team which just won the World Cup losing to the United States’ Under-17 girls national team.

The newspapers don’t report enough detail, and people assume the party doing the suing is wrong, when in reality there is a good reason for it. People see a woman suing McDonald’s for her coffee being too hot, and they laugh at her and say the country is going to hell. What they don’t do is read into it, where they’ll find out that she severely burned herself (NSFW) and required expensive medical treatment and had permanent damage to her vagina. Nor do they read about how that particular McDonald’s was serving their coffee too hot on purpose so people would take longer to drink it and increase their chances of ordering more food. Nor do they read about how the McDonald’s had been warned several times in the past to quit this practice by health and safety authorities.
These, taken together, greatly reinforce the perception of how common ridiculous lawsuits actually are successful.
I served in I Corps (the northernmost part of South Vietnam) from May of 1970 to May of 1971.
Yes, the M16 and the M16A1 were not the best weapons and many of us who could exchange them did. But my unit, being Military Intelligence, was not an ordinary unit.
When I arrived, M16 in hand and issue .38 caliber revolver holstered to my belt (the standard issue sidearm for Military Intelligence personnel), my supply sergeant asked if I wanted to keep using them. When I said, “Not particularly”, he took me to a storage container behind our supply room, took my M16 and my .38 caliber revolver (after tagging them) and pointed to a rack of assorted weapons, saying, “Take what you want”. There were M-14 rifles, a few M-2 carbines, some M79 grenade launchers and assorted handguns – but no AK-47’s or SKS carbines.
I took a .45 caliber Colt Commander pistol and a .45 caliber M-3 submachine gun (also known as a “Grease Gun”) and carried them as my weapons the entire year, occasionally checking out an M79 Grenade Launcher for special missions. Every month I would give the supply sergeant $10.00 to clean and maintain my M-16 and my .38. At the end of my tour, before I shipped out I gave the supply sergeant the Grease Gun and the .45, took my M-16 and my .38 (which had never been fired that whole year) and turned them in at higher headquarters in Saigon before getting on the plane back to the States.
Of the 50 some men in my unit, only maybe 10 carried the M-16 and .38 revolver during their tour. The rest of us all carried American weapons but better quality and more reliable weapons than the M-16’s.
What I had been issued:
What I carried:
Both weapons I used fired the same U. S. Army issue ammo.
FYI: anyone who has heard an AK-47 fired and has also heard an M-16/AR-15 or a “Grease Gun” fired knows that they have very individual, distinctive sounds. In the Vietnam jungle environment, if you fired an AK-47, you would also inevitably be fired on by American or South Vietnamese troops who heard you but could not see you, based on the sound alone.

There are many disturbing truths. To me, the most disturbing is how the actual thing is so vastly different than anything it’s purported to be.
Marriage is not unconditional love.
There is hate. Resentment. There is bitterness, isolation, betrayal and pain. I don’t feel love for my husband 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Nor does he.
Marriage has inertia.
There are times when we cannot access our love. Sometimes, it’s marriage – not love – that keeps us married. This thing manifest in shared cutlery and mattresses, Thanksgiving rituals and holiday cards – this thing sometimes keeps us together.
Marriage is not the agent nor the perfection of you.
It doesn’t fill your cracks and makes you complete. It’s not what you’re missing in life. It’s not the fulfillment of your true self. Marriage doesn’t do anything; it – perhaps – allows you to do things.
Marriage is not enough.
Marriage is not a signal of success or achievement to the world. I’ve done this, I’m married, stop worrying, stop doubting. Perhaps for a while, but not for long. Not for ever. The what’s next questions persist. And nothing – not even marriage – is immune.
Marriage can be a bad thing.
Marriage endures beyond lies, beyond broken trust, broken dreams – if you want it to, it can. Marriages – good marriages, ones that work – must exist in dark spaces too, not just the light.
Marriage has no baseline.
With a few exceptions, there is no standard of what is good, normal, acceptable, and what is not. No one can tell you what to do with it, about it, it is entirely your responsibility to manage your marriage. There is no right answer so don’t seek one.
Marriage is bigger than you. Bigger than both of you.
If my answer sounds like marriage is this mythical thing that cuddles in bed with you and your spouse and at times steals sheets – that’s because it is. Well, it’s not mythical, but it’s there, amorphous. It’s the third thing, between you, in your relationship.
It’s a responsibility, a commitment, a power, an profound intimacy. Ensuring we are seen, witnessed and bound to another before we expire. More than any other social institution we have as humans. (Paying taxes notwithstanding).
(If you think I’m overly down on marriage please read any of the 150 or so answers I have written lauding it. You can’t feast on the meat without delivering a kill shot. Kapow!)

Mr Rogers – The quiet radical. He didn’t go on marches, he was not confrontational, but nevertheless he had a ground on which he stood and he wanted to do something about it.
“a quiet but strong American prophet who, with roots in progressive spirituality, invited us to make the world into a counter-cultural neighborhood of love,” – Michael Long, author of the book, Peaceful Neighbor: Discovering the Countercultural Mister Rogers.
He worked from a steely social conscience. He used his program, with its non-threatening puppets, songs and conversation, to raise provocative topics such as war, peace, race, gender and poverty with his audience of preschoolers and their parents — patiently guiding them across the minefields of political and social change.
Examples: This one is one of my favorites … The puppet King Friday XIII was posting border guards, installing barbed-wire fences and drafting passersby to keep out those fomenting social change. “Down with the changers!” he proclaimed. “Because we’re on top!” This was 1968 and was aired as part of a weeklong series on conflict, change and distrust. King Friday’s declaration of a national emergency to preserve the status quo is a political statement. It is not a plot line merely to entertain children. It’s the idea that when we resist change, it’s because we want to maintain our position. In the end, the neighborhood was saved, but only through the bold civil disobedience of King Friday’s subjects. People who want change are often labeled as troublemakers.
Rogers was an uncompromising pacifist, and when Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood debuted nationally in 1968, during the height of the Vietnam War, he used his first week of programming to share his antiwar beliefs.
Rogers opposed the nuclear arms race, and in 1983 he developed Neighborhood of Make-Believe episodes in which King Friday appears confused and downright silly for calling for an arms race with a neighboring community. When Friday orders “one million and one parts” that he imagines to be weapons — they are not — he uses funds designed to support music in the neighborhood school. The neighborhood is appalled by this crass act.
At the beginning of 1984, the Presidential Task Force on Food Assistance, appointed by President Ronald Reagan, reported that it could not find evidence of rampant hunger in the United States. Rogers did not appreciate the report, and by the end of the year, he broadcast episodes highlighting the presence of hunger and addressing the need to combat it.
In 1987, at the height of the cold war, he traveled to Moscow and appeared on a Soviet children’s television show called Spokoinoi Nochi (Good Night, Little Ones).
Rogers was committed to racial diversity, and not long after inner-city riots erupted following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., Rogers introduced the character of a black police officer keeping everyone safe in the Neighborhood.
In 1975, 14 years before an African American woman would become mayor of a major U.S. city, Rogers created the character of Mayor Maggie of Southwood, played by African American actor Maggie Stewart.
He wore an apron and ironed clothes on a mid-day broadcast set in a house, when most men would have been at work, modeling a revolution in gender roles. The puppet Lady Elaine Fairchilde anchored a newscast long before Barbara Walters did, and she rocketed into space a decade before Sally Ride broke the glass stratosphere.
In 1983 he arranged for Lady Aberlin, played by Betty Aberlin, to sing a quiet song (“Creation”) in which she refers to God as “She.” A fact that was not lost on the protestors of the time.
Rogers and regular cast member Francois Clemmons, an African-American, dipped their bare feet in a wading pool on a 1969 broadcast, when bitter conflicts over legally segregated swimming pools were still being discussed.
Rogers became a vegetarian in the early 1970s, saying he could not eat anything that had a mother, and in the mid-1980s he became co-owner of Vegetarian Times. In 1985, Rogers also signed his name to a statement protesting the wearing of animal furs.
When politicians in the 1980s spoke of welfare recipients as lazy and unworthy of government help, Rogers portrayed hard-working parents who still couldn’t afford all that their children wanted or needed.
Rogers broadcast public-service announcements on helping children deal with news of war and other tragedy, and he advocated for legislation that would allow at least one parent in a military family to remain with his or her children rather than be deployed.

Mihaela Noroc is a photographer from Romania. She quit her job and left everything behind to travel around the globe and photograph the uniqueness of natural feminine beauty in different environments and cultures. She calls her project “The Atlas Of Beauty.”
Her drive stems from an observation of society’s standards and expectations of beauty and how these standards put women in boxes — boxes in which no woman has agreed to.
“Global trends make us look and behave the same, but we are all beautiful because we are different. In the end, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the beholder is always somebody else. My goal is to continue and take photos of women from each country of the globe, making ‘The Atlas Of Beauty’ a mirror of our diverse societies and an inspiration for people that try to remain authentic.”
You can find more of Noroc’s work on Facebook.

With a smile on his face, the accused, 24-year-old Alam Khan, told reporters outside Mughapura police station that he waited for 12 years to “realize his dream and was happy about it”.
This happened to the guy who wrote Forrest Gump (the novel). He was promised a share of the profits of the film, but got nothing other than his $350,000 licensing fee because the film (which grossed $700 million on a budget of $55 million) “lost money”.
Years later, supposedly, he was approached by Paramount Pictures to license his sequel to his novel, but he declined, snarkily saying “I don’t understand why you’d want to make a sequel to a movie that didn’t make any money.”
Mondale went on to lose the Senate election in Minnesota in 2002, becoming the first and only person to lose a statewide election in every state as a nominee of a major party.
From a 1977 High Times interview dug up by Dangerous Minds:
I got my physical notice 30 days prior to. Well, on that day I ceased cleansing my body. No more brushing my teeth, no more washing my hair, no baths, no soap, no water. Thirty days of debris build. I stopped shavin’ and I was 18, had a little scraggly beard, really looked like a hippie. I had long hair, and it started gettin’ kinky, matted up. Then two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value. I just had chips, Pepsi, beer-stuff I never touched-buttered poop, little jars of Polish sausages, and I’d drink the syrup, I was this side of death, Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. poop, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up.
[…]
So I went in, and those guys in uniform couldn’t believe the smell. They were ridiculin’ me and pushin’ me around and I was cryin’, but all the time I was laughin’ to myself. When they stuck the needle in my arm for the blood test I passed out, and when I came to they were kicking me into the wall. Then they made everybody take off their pants, and I did, and this sergeant says, “Oh my God, put those back on! You fucking swine you!” Then they had a urine test and I couldn’t piss, But my poop was just like ooze, man, so I poop in the cup and put it on the counter. I had poop on my hand and my arm. The guy almost puked. I was so proud. I knew I had these chumps beat. The last thing I remember was wakin’ up in the ear test booth and they were sweepin’ up. So I went home and cleaned up.

But you know the funny thing about it? I’d make an incredible army man. I’d be a colonel before you knew what hit you, and I’d have the baddest bunch of motherfuckin’ killers you’d ever seen in my platoon. But I just wasn’t into it.
Joe’s original order to the flower shop (Parisian Florist in Hollywood if anyone is interested) stated, “Six fresh long-stemmed red roses, three times a week . . . forever.”
When all was said and done, more than 18,000 roses had been delivered to Marylin’s grave.
Their act received world-wide attention. The women were awarded the Vision Award by the New York Women’s Foundation in 2008. The AVSI foundation organized an international sale of colored paper necklaces in exchange for donations . Through the sale, AVSI raised enough funds for a high school for 400-600 students in the area.

The Shelter Buddies Reading Program at the Humane Society of Missouri is doing wonders for everyone involved.
The concept is simple: teach kids to read to shelter dogs as a way of preparing them for forever homes, all while instilling a greater sense of empathy in the youngsters, too.
Kids who sign up for the monthly program are encouraged to sit in front of a shy dog’s kennel with a book and read to them.
“We wanted to help our shy and fearful dog without forcing physical interaction with them to see the positive effect that could have on them,” program director Jo Klepacki told The Dodo.
“Ideally that shy and fearful dog will approach and show interest. If so, the kids reinforce that behavior by tossing them a treat. What this is also doing is to bring the animals to the front in case potential adopters come through. They are more likely to get adopted if they are approaching and interacting, rather than hiding in the back or cowering.”
But shy dogs are not the only ones benefiting from the program. It also teaches high-energy dogs that calm behavior is more desirable.
“Hearing a child reading can really calm those animals,” Klepacki said. “It is incredible, the response we’ve seen in these dogs.
Each child is required to complete a 10-hour training program, learning to work with the animals under supervision. After that, they can then come back with their parents any time to read to the dogs
“It’s encouraging children to develop empathy with animals. It’s a peaceful, quiet exercise. They’re seeing fearfulness in these animals, and seeing the positive affect they can have,” said Klepacki. “It encourages them to look at things from an animals perspective. That helps them better connect with animals and people in their lives.”

Klepacki says she hopes to expand the reading program to all of the Humane Society of Missouri’s shelters — and to cats as well.
