Passion is important because it forces you to go forward, try again and again, and finally achieve success. Passion allows you to find your calling in life, and this is the greatest gift that you can have. Passion is the source of your life. It’s not just what you do in your spare time, it’s what gives meaning to everything, and sometimes it is the meaning of life. Finding and understanding your passion and your calling is a very important stage in life. But many people do not know what their calling is.

ALARMING NEWS--New Jersey health officials and lawmakers are alarmed about the rising rate of certain sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and infections. An NJ1015.com review of state Health Department information reveals that STD cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis were recorded in nearly every community in New Jersey in 2015, the most recent year for which data is available.

New Jersey 101.5 ranked the Top 50 towns with the highest STD rates and incorporated STD statistics for all municipalities in an interactive map. These stats do not include HIV/AIDS cases, which the state measures separately. Young people are driving up the numbers. State officials say half the sexually active population will get an STD by the time they turn 25.

Letters to the Editor: Political Malpractice

The New Jersey Education Association's foolhardy campaign to unseat Senator Steve Sweeney is proceeding - and no one is more irate about it than its own members. The state's roughly 200,000 teachers are fuming as their union's officers spend the remainder of an astounding $10 million - to  punish a pro-education senator. 

Political malpractice is what the teachers are calling it. Not to mention reckless, petulant, greedy, and irresponsible.

When The Bully Is The Teacher

Source Great Schools by: Jessica Kelmon | October 25, 2017

 When Karen Eubank’s son first complained about his “mean” teacher, she took it with a grain of salt. “Usually ‘mean’ just means a teacher makes you study, is demanding, or wants you to answer questions,” says the Dallas, TX mom. “Not that [the teacher’s] being verbally abusive.”

Unfortunately, that’s exactly what it meant. Eubank had transferred her son from a private school to a new charter that a friend recommended. During the tour, Eubank fell in love with the school — there was a garden, they played music at lunch, the school was “just beautiful,” she says.

CNB TRAVEL: Celebrate New Year's Day Like A Local At Philly's Mummer's Parade

 

 

New Year’s Day is about celebrating, and there’s no better place to fete 2018 than at Philadelphia’s Mummers Parade, a tradition dating back to 1901 in which 10,000 men, women and children dressed in colorfully lavish costumes twirl, sashay, pirouette and strut down one of the city’s main streets.

A carnival-like atmosphere welcomes revelers who stop by at the last minute—but a little advance preparation helps onlookers get the best views of the spectacle. Better still, spending the night in the city ensures an early start to the day. The Visit Philly Overnight Hotel Package and other packages are available at visitphilly.com/hotel-packages. A complete guide to New Year’s and the entire holiday season is available at visitphilly.com/holidays.

Who?:
Mummers are people of all ages who belong to more than 40 organized clubs that make up the parade participants. The clubs, split into five categories—Comics, Wench Brigades, Fancies, String Bands and Fancy Brigades—function mainly to stage their playful performances on New Year’s Day. But Mummers do perform at other events throughout the year. For many Philadelphia-area families, Mummery is a tradition that spans generations. phillymummers.com

What?:
The day’s highlight is the parade itself, which begins with performances for audience members seated in bleachers near Philadelphia City Hall and marches south along Broad Street to Washington Avenue. Each division knows its role: The Comics and Wench Brigades satirize issues, institutions and people; the Fancies impress with glamorous outfits that rival those of royalty; the String Bands play banjoes, saxophones, percussion and other reed and string instruments; and the Fancy Brigades produce tightly choreographed theatrical extravaganzas. But the noisy camaraderie shouldn’t fool the novice spectator, as each club is embroiled in a friendly yet fierce competition for local bragging rights.

After they’ve displayed their floats, costumes, dances and music, the Comics, Fancies and String Bands who are based in South Philadelphia head down to 2^nd Street—known as “Two Street”—past Washington Avenue to spend the rest of the day and night in hearty revelry with the crowds that follow them there. But there’s more work ahead for members of the Fancy Brigades. Those groups put on two elaborate Broadway-style performances for ticket holders at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in the afternoon.

When?:
The parade begins at 9 a.m. and ends around 5 p.m. The shorter route lends itself to denser crowds, so for sidewalk seating, fans should arrive early to claim their spots. Fancy Brigades hold two ticketed competitions at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, at 11:30 a.m. and at 5 p.m. (Ticket information below.) The revelry then moves to Two Street for a raucous bash that goes late into the night.

Where?:
The parade begins at Philadelphia City Hall, with judging taking place at 15^th Street and John F. Kennedy Boulevard. The procession then heads south on Broad Street to its end point at Washington Avenue. Once the Fancy Brigades finish the entire route, they head to the Pennsylvania Convention Center for their performances.

Those who arrive early will be rewarded with a sneak peek of Mummers doing run-throughs of their routines as they line up on John F. Kennedy Boulevard between 16^th and 22^nd Streets. Here, spectators can also meet the performers, get a close-up look at the spectacular costumes and snap Instagram-worthy selfies with the marchers. Those without bleacher seats or sidewalk stamina often head to the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, conveniently situated along the parade route, which opens for a free, family-friendly festival—cocoa, live music and games included—each January 1, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Why?:
Mummery traces its roots to ancient Roman laborers who ushered in the festival of Saturnalia by marching in masks while exchanging gifts and satirizing the issues of the day. In the 1600s, Swedish settlers to Philadelphia’s outskirts honored Christmas by beseeching their neighbors for dessert and liquorby dressing up, chanting and shooting firearms. The party eventually migrated to New Year’s Day and evolved into a series of neighborhood parades. As immigrants moved to the area from Ireland and Italy, each group added its own cultural flair to the local customs. In 1901, the tradition began in earnest with the first recognized and judged Mummers Parade in Philadelphia. The term “Mummer” is German and means “to costume or masquerade.”

Getting There:
First things first: Spectators are encouraged to leave their cars behind and take public transportation into the city. Those who drive should park in a garage. One of the best places to view the spectacle is from the judging stands near City Hall; tickets must be reserved in advance.

Tickets:
Tickets for bleacher seating at City Hall (15^th and Market Streets) are available at the Independence Visitor Center (6^th and Market Streets, phlvisitorcenter.com) for $20. Tickets to both Fancy Brigade Finales can be purchased online for $20-$25 at spectratix.com or in person at the Independence Visitor Center.

But Wait. There’s More:
Each year, the Mummers Fancy Brigades put the finishing touches on their performances during MummersFest in the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The $4 admission to the four-day, family-friendly event includes dressing up in authentic Mummers gear, make-and-take crafts, backstage tours of elaborate props and floats—and a sneak peek at rehearsals. MummersFest runs December 28-31.

 Instead, she will confront the situation head-on by asking, “How can we address it and how can we get it resolved?”

 

A high-energy woman with a compassionate heart, she has been the social worker for the Bellmawr School District for the past 22 years and currently serves as the president of the Bellmawr Education Association (BEA).

 

Last year, when some children came to school in clothes that were too small, too big or out of season, she remembered thinking,

 

“That is completely unacceptable. In order for children to learn, they need to be warm and comfortable. They can’t be coming to school wearing clothes that are too tight or not appropriate for the season.”

 

Then, she saw some of the children’s parents. When they came to attend the English Language (ELL) classes, they wore the same clothes week after week or they didn’t have a coat, even when it started to get cold outside.

The anticipated mission for the Guard members is to provide first aid, point of injury care and sick call for the service members providing relief to civilians there.

In addition, they will be providing urgent care to civilians on the islands of St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix, expanding an outreach mission established by the preceding unit.

Upon arrival the medical personnel will integrate with thousands of National Guard members, active-duty military, and first responders.

Curbing corruption in Philadelphia | Commentary | phillytrib.com

Former District Attorney Seth Williams was sentenced on Tuesday to five years in prison for accepting a bribe.

The sentencing was the latest chapter in a sad and disappointing story of a career prosecutor who was once seen as a rising political star.

But Williams’ two terms as Philadelphia’s first Black D.A. ended in a corruption scandal.

 

 An investigation into Williams’ financial affairs resulted in a wide-ranging indictment in which he was charged with 29 counts of bribery, extortion and fraud including accepting cash and gifts, fraudulently using thousands of dollars from his campaign fund for personal expenses, misusing city vehicles and misappropriating money intended to fund his mother’s nursing home care.

Two weeks into his June trial, Williams pleaded guilty to a single count of accepting a bribe from a businessman who admitted giving him a $3,000 sofa and thousands of dollars in cash payments.

Prosecutors said Williams admitted to committing all the misconduct although 28 counts were dismissed.

The 50-year-old Democrat didn’t speak during the hearing and instead had his attorney read a statement in which he apologized and said he had failed the people of Philadelphia.

“Rather than holding myself to a higher standard, I squandered that trust placed in me,” the statement said. As his lawyer read the statement, Williams’ wiped away tears.

U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond said Williams “humiliated” his office and the city by selling it to “parasites.”

“Your profound dishonesty has to be deterred,” Diamond said before ordering that Williams be imprisoned immediately.

The judge is right that corruption must be deterred. The question is how?

What the judge said about Williams could have been said to any number of Philadelphia politicians who have been found guilty of corruption.

CNB Hunting/Fishing NJ: Blueline Tilefish: A Profile

by Tom Sanfilippo, Hourly Fisheries Technician
Bureau of Marine Fisheries
October 27, 2017

Common Name: Blueline Tilefish, Grey Tilefish
Scientific Name: Caulolatilus microps

Background: Blueline Tilefish are frequently caught as bycatch by long liners and charter/party boats fishing for Golden Tilefish. Tilefish in general are relied upon on to "save a trip" meaning that the catch of a tilefish by anglers fishing for species like tuna can still make the trip worthwhile, even if the original target species is not biting.
