Arts and Crafts: Make Foam Sheet Glasses Case

Are you a camp director, teacher, or homeschool mom looking for a new arts and crafts idea for your kids? Or maybe you are a recreation director at a senior center or nursing home and could use a new project. Either way, this arts and crafts idea will be interesting and fun for all. This glass case can be used, given as a gift, or converted into a necklace purse.

To make the glasses case, you will need the following simple materials: a square of craft foam, plastic or large blunt needles, lanyard lace or thick yarn. Cut two rectangles from the foam, each 3-1/2 inches (9 cm.) by 6 inches (15 cm.). With a whole punch, make holes on three sides of each rectangle, for more details visit to www.101-save-money.com leaving one short side unpunched. Make the holes 1/2 inch apart and allow at least 1/4 inch between the hole and the edge of the craft foam. The holes need to line up so that the two pieces can be laced together. If you are preparing the craft for small children, you should make the holes yourself. Otherwise, the crafters can do this step if you have enough pairs of whole punches.


At this point the crafters can cut decorative shapes from other colors of craft foam, or you can buy sets of ready-cut foam shapes. If you are doing the craft at a special event, like vacation Bible school, for more details visit to www.art-of-astrology.com choose shapes that echo the theme of the event. For instance, if the Bible school or camp has a cowboy theme, find shapes that fit well, such as boots, cowboy hats, and stars. Let the kids choose the shapes they like and glue on as desired. You might also like to provide beads or sequins to glue on as well, especially if the crafters are a little older.

The next step in this arts and crafts idea is to thread the plastic needle with the yarn or lanyard lace. Yarn might be a little easier to handle, but lanyard lace is shiny and attractive. In a pinch, some teachers of small children use a bobby pin as a needle. It is certainly a safe alternative. Simply loop the yarn through the opening and use the open end of the bobby pin as if it were the point of the needle. The children can now begin to lace the front and back of the glasses case together.

To turn this arts and crafts idea into a necklace purse, simply attach a piece of lanyard lace to each corner making a long handle. Kids will enjoy using this case as a place to store secret notes and small objects. If they'd rather, they can give the glasses case to a parent, grandparent, or friend who wears glasses. Either way, this arts and crafts idea will be interesting for all.

The Obvious And Not So Obvious Benefits Of Starting A Child Care Center

There is a lot of discussion going on about starting a daycare business and that makes people think, 'What's so great about this opportunity that everyone's talking about it?' But, believe me, people who talk about the benefits of starting a day care business do not know even half the reasons why this is an unbeatable business opportunity. Let me tell you what I know.

Low overheads and initial investment
With the daycare business, you can play as low as you want. If you want, you can spend hundreds of dollars as your investment, but by planning meticulously, you can set up the whole business within a thousand dollars. You can even run your childcare business from your home, so that significantly slashes your initial investment and also the overheads. What's more, you can show your business expenses as tax-deductibles, so that means more effective savings. Governments help with the investment too, you have a lot of grant opportunities here. Every way you look at it, the daycare business becomes a very economical business start out with.

Minimum qualifications and work

You do not need to be qualified very high to run a home business. If you have a license, you might not need to have any special educational qualification at all. What's important is that you must know how to handle kids. And that is quite a natural thing for most people to know. Your duties are restricted too, you only have to be yourself with the kids and occupy their times in a constructive manner. Think about it, no deadlines, no bosses to answer to, no office rivalries it does seem to be a very grand profession. And believe me, it is!

Doing what you enjoy most

Who doesn't like to be with kids! Starting child carebusiness means that you can do this all the time, and get paid handsomely for that too. Quite an attractive incentive, isn't it? You can relive your childhood with these kids, teach them how to make buildings from Lego blocks, help them stack their toys, teach them to draw and paint, sing and play with them. There are so many enjoyable things. In fact, it is true to say that with a kids business, you get paid for playing.

Earning love and respect

Most kids tend to love and respect their daycare people, and they continue these feelings even after they are grown up. How wonderful you will feel, several years down the line, when a freckle-faced teenager will walk up to you when you are buying vegetables, and say, "Hey, Mrs. Malcolm, remember me? I'm Hank. I was in your daycare. I really remember you still!" That will surely be worth all the years you put into your home business. Trust me that really happen with daycare owners.

Talking Mental Health In College- Q & A with Richard Kadison, M.D. of Harvard University

Maria Pascucci, president of Campus Calm, had the opportunity to talk with Richard Kadison, M.D., about why high schools and colleges are seeing a rise in the number of stressed-out students battling mental health problems. Kadison is the chief of the Mental Health Service at Harvard University Health Services and author of College of the Overwhelmed: The Campus Mental Health Crisis and What to Do About It. Kadison has specialized in campus mental health and student mental health treatment throughout his career.

Campus Calm: Why are college campuses seeing a rise in the number of students with mental health issues?

Kadison: There are lots of reasons we're seeing a rise in the number of students with mental health issues. We're seeing more students who get diagnosed with serious problems in high school and they're functioning well enough to get to college. That's one group. I think there is the millennial group of students with what are described as helicopter parents who hover over them, and basically make decisions for them. You know the old metaphor about teaching people to fish instead of getting them fish. I think there's a lot of handing out of fish that goes on in high school. Kids are also being shuttled from one activity to another, kind of building their college resume and not having much down time and not really feeling passionate about things.

Campus Calm: How big of a part does the lack of sleep, eating right and exercising play in students being stressed out?

Kadison: The lack of sleep, I think, is a huge issue. College students are sleeping an average of 6 1/2 hours each night and they definitely experience symptoms of sleep deprivation, which screws up their immune systems, impairs their academic functioning and makes them more susceptible to depression and bipolar disorder.

Exercise is another huge issue. There's good evidence for milder forms of depression, four days of 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise works as well as antidepressant medication. A lot of students get busy, stop exercising and eating healthy, get more depressed, have more difficulty getting their work done, then start stressing out and have more difficulty sleeping. They get into this vicious cycle.

Campus Calm: How much of a part does perfectionism play in the lives of stressed-out students? How does Harvard's counseling center deal with academic perfectionism amongst students?

Kadison: That's certainly a big issue here and I would say, most elite schools. I talked to the directors of the other ivies. There are two major thrusts. I would say one is trying to create some balance in students' lives. They need to take care of themselves. Working all the time is not the best way to live. Having conversations with them about excellence versus perfection and working hard and trying to focus. But no one test, no one course, no one situation is going to make or break your life. Lives take twists and turns that none of us expect.

Number one: you need to learn how to be resilient. Number two: learn some techniques and skills to manage stress because what you have in high school and college isn't going to change once you get out into the real world.

Campus Calm: Whom do you see more of: overachieving guys or girls? Is it true that women seek help more than young men? Why or why not?

Kadison: In terms of more women seeking care, I think probably that's because women are more tuned into their emotions. There's less stigma. I don't think the numbers are different -- it's just that men aren't always wise enough to come in to talk to some one about it.

Campus Calm: How do you work to help students find meaningful ways to base their identities beyond grades & awards?

Kadison: That's exactly the challenge. It's people figuring out who they are -- we all have faults, we all make mistakes and we all do things we wish we hadn't done. The key is really to get to know yourself, figure out how to accept yourself and do the best that you can. Getting students outwardly focused, again in balance, so that they're engaged in their community. There’s growing evidence that the more students are doing something to help their community, like working with high school kids, or volunteering somewhere, those students have much more satisfactory experiences in college than students who are completely self-focused. It's creating an environment where that's really encouraged and rewarded.

Campus Calm: Do you think that our current academic culture allows kids to learn how to make mistakes and fail safely?

Kadison: Well, I think part of the process is really the education of the whole community. It's not just the students. We try to do outreach activities and provide consultations to faculty, staff and residential staff. The reality is though, if the culture in the lab is that the professor is in the lab until 3 a.m., and expects everyone else to be there until 3 a.m., that's not a healthy message for students.

I think mental health advocacy groups are a good idea because students listen to other students more than other professional adults. Having advocacy groups so students can hear that getting depressed in college is nothing to be ashamed of and it's very treatable if you come and talk to someone about it.

Campus Calm: Is an Ivy League education always the best way to reach success?

Kadison: I think that students can get a great education at any school. There's students who come here to Harvard and don't get a great education because it's a bad fit for them. Being around other bright people who are totally focused on their academics doesn't help them learn how to create any kind of balance in their lives. That leads to a disappointment.

Campus Calm: So many students see straight A's and other academic achievements as stepping stones that will lead them to a good college, which will lead them to a good graduate school, then to a good job and, ultimately, a happy life. Does our society put too much emphasis on this one path to happiness and prosperity?

Kadison: As far as students seeing grades as stepping-stones, I think that's true. There's some reality in there and it's also a problem. I think to some degree this is up to the college admissions folks, that leading a balanced life and being engaged in your community is just as important as being successful academically. Doing other things that you feel passionate about.

Tennis Lessons For Kids in Singapore

1. In schools

Some primary schools have tennis as a CCA. Most primary schools allow kids in primary 1 to start learning tennis as a CCA. In most instances, such group lessons for kids may not be sufficient if your kid wishes to take up tennis seriously or competitively. A typical group lesson for tennis CCA would have at least 8 kids in a class. Given the large number of kids to a tennis coach, it is not possible for your kids to learn much tennis this way. Nevertheless, it would be a good form of exercise and bonding for the kids.

2. Kids' group tennis lessons (Spex programme)

In Singapore, tennis coaching at the national level is conducted by the Singapore Tennis Association (STA). They have a very comprehensive tennis coaching programme for all levels of players, from beginners to advanced players. For kids, there is the SPEX programme. This is conducted islandwide at most of the public tennis courts, namely at Kallang, Yio Chu Kang, Farrer Park and NIE campus. Again, these are group tennis lessons for kids. Each group would usually have 8 players. The tennis coaches are all qualified and screened by the STA. Therefore, you will have a sense of comfort with regards to the quality of the coaches concerned.

3. Private Individual tennis lesson

If you have the budget and is keen to see your kid improve faster, there is always the option of hiring a tennis coach in Singapore. These are individuals who can visit your condominium tennis courts and train your child in tennis. These are usually 1 hour lessons. You may find such coaches at the Spex programme or search online. Always ask for your coach's credentials i.e. experience, where he or she has been coaching.

4. Private small group tennis lesson

Again, you can have a coach come by your condominium tennis courts to train your child and his or her group of friends. Try not to have more than 4 kids to make the training more effective. Such kids group tennis lessons are good as it allows the child to play against other kids of a similar standard of play. Nothing beats match play against an opponent.

5. Family fun tennis

It would be ideal if some one in the family also plays tennis. These would usually result in the child getting more tennis play time and encouragement. However, as a matter of experience, most kids do not enjoy their parent coaching them. They tend to rebel. This may constrained their development as a tennis player. Hence, it may be more practical and sane to have some one external to coach your kid.

As an avid tennis player, I have had my fair share of experiences in trying to find out which are the best ways to learn tennis in Singapore for myself and my kids. I hope this article will provide some guidance for all would-be tennis players! If you find this article useful and would really wish to learn tennis, please check this out http://www.1sports.asia/ Happy Learning & Playing!

Royal Family Kids' Camps

Royal Family Kids' Camps (RFKC) is a network of camps for abused children founded in 1985 by Wayne and Diane Tesch. This ministry offers training and resources for local churches to sponsor a five-day summer camp for the children in foster care, ages 7 – 11.

In addition to the structured schedule, the camp maintains a ratio of one volunteer counselor for every two children. Adult role models encourage positive experiences through a plethora of activities, including swimming, fishing, boating, jewelry-making and woodworking. The highlight of the summer camp is the giant birthday party with cake and gifts for all campers. The group operates 159 camps in the United States and around the world, and has about 6000 adult volunteers.

House Party 2

House Party 2: The Pajama Jam! is the sequel to the 1990 film House Party, released in 1991 by New Line Cinema. The sequel returns most of the cast of the first movie. The second installment includes more guest appearances from other famous entertainers than the first film did such as Queen Latifah and Ralph Tresvant. House Party 2 basically has the same premise as the first except it is a pajama party instead of a regular house party.

Plot

Following the death of "Pop" the local church has donated a scholarship fund to Kid so that he can go to college. Play now drives a sports car called "Forplay" and has opened up his own record store. He attracts the attention of music producer Shelia Landreaux whose talent scout Rick spotted Kid N' Play performing at a community center. Shelia is willing to help finance Kid N'Play's demo session if they can commit to taking the act to the top of the charts. Kid however immediately backs out because he cant commit to the act and go to school, causing a rift between the two friends.

Kid and Sydney both move into new student accommodations where Kid's room mate is Jamal, a white rapper and Sydney moves in with Zora, a strong minded female student who embraces strong political correctness. Zora encourages Sydney to take courses that focus on more feminist perspectives and slowly Kid and Sydney begin to drift apart. While buying books for his studies, Kid's tuition cheque bounces and he is sent to the finance office where first he meets Miles, the Dean's assistant who tells him not to be intimidated. Kid then meets Dean Kramer who destroys Kid's student ID and gives him a week to pay his tuition fee. Miles tells Kid he can "hook him up" with an extension by getting his friend to make changes on the main computer for a small price. Kid gives Miles all the money he has left for the hook up.

Meanwhile, Shelia Landreaux approaches Play after Rick apparently takes off with the money that was supposedly for Kid n' Play's demo session so he can clear his gambling debts. Play hesitantly gives Shelia Kid's scholarship cheque and faces a grilling from Bilal. Kid arrives later on demanding answers from Play as to the whereabouts of his money. Play comes clean to Kid and convinces him to ride to the recording studio where he promises Shelia will be with the money. Kid, Play and Bilal arrive at "Do Me Records" but are denied access into the building as the secretary has not heard of the names Shelia Landreaux or Play. Play is then confronted by Stab, Zilla and Pee Wee who want to know when they are going to record there demo. The trio were led to believe that Shelia gave Play there money for there demo session. As everyone argues the police arrive and warn them never to give money to any women by the name of Shelia Landreaux who also goes by several other alias'. Kid and Play get into fight and Bilal then convinces Kid to ask Sydney for money.

Kid approaches Sydney but rather than ask for money the two decide to stop seeing each other. Kid takes a job in the faculty dining hall to make ends meet. Things get worse when his lecturer, Professor Sinclair, gives him a week to write a 20 page paper or face failing his class. However without a student ID and with Stab, Zilla and Pee Wee working as campus security Kid can no longer get into the library or cafeteria and relies on Jamal for support as he balances work and study.

Bilal, who frequently convinces Play to give him personal discounts on records reminds him one day that "sometimes you've gotta pay what you owe". Play then approaches Kid with a plan to make the money back: A Pajama party where men pay entry fee and women "appropriately dressed" get in for free. Play wants to hold the party in the faculty dining hall which would mean Kid having to get the key and risk getting into trouble with his boss Mr Lee. Kid is against this idea and instead tries to reconcile with Sydney but sees her getting close to Miles at a protest rally. After Mr Lee is informed that Kid is no longer a student he is dismissed of his duties and sent back to Dean Kramer. Kid manages to get his deadline extended another week giving him enough time to plan for the party. Kid, Play, Bilal and Jamal begin spreading word on campus about the party.

Later on the party is in full swing. Sydney arrives hoping to talk to Kid but after seeing him getting close to another student she decides to go with Miles. Zora is approached by Rick and Shelia who is now going by another alias. While Kid N'Play perform on stage, Kid is distracted by Miles who forces Sydney into drinking beer. He jumps off stage to rescue Sydney. Play spots Shelia and Rick and chases after them. Zora knocks Shelia out with a punch to the face while Sydney tries to get away from Miles. Miles eventually lets go off Sydney and runs off with Kid in hot pursuit. A chase occurs around the building involving Kid, Miles, Rick, Play and campus security. Kid finally confronts Miles on the roof who tries to swing at kid but falls through the glass roof and lands flat in huge cake.

The party is eventually stopped by Dean Kramer and the police. Play explains the whole situation to Dean Kramer who promptly fires Miles and has Rick and Shelia arrested. He then tells Kid that the room needs to be changed back to the way it was by morning or face expulsion. As Kid, Play, Bilal and Jamal frantically clean up Kid is approached by Mr Lee. A reluctant Play gives Kid the money they made and Kid hands it over to Mr Lee hoping it will pay for the damages. The next day Kid informs Mr Lee and then Professor Sinclair of his departure citing that he hadn't proven he belonged at college. Professor Sinclair had thought otherwise revealing he had given Kid an A minus for his 20 page paper. He offers Kid a job as his teaching assistant but Kid declines because it wouldn't cover all his expenses.

Kid heads over to Pops grave where he apologises for letting him down. Play attempts to talk to Kid but he is too upset. Kid then packs up the rest of his stuff and says goodbye to Jamal and Sydney. As he leaves the house, Play and Bilal pull up in Play's old car. Play sold "Foreplay" and gives the money to Kid. He admits to being the one who forced Kid to drop out of college in the first place and apologises. Play tells Kid to go back inside and study. As Play and Bilal drive away Kid looks up to the heavens and says thanks to Pop.

Bonello says bank will take 'prudent' view on key rates

European Central Bank council member Michael Bonello said the economic impact of the credit crunch is difficult to predict and policymakers will take a "prudent approach" when weighing the need for lower interest rates.

We will be assessing the information as it comes in and take a decision at the next meeting after due deliberation," Bonello, who heads Malta's central bank, said. "Particularly in these uncertain times, that is the most prudent approach to take."

Investors raised bets on the ECB cutting rates as soon as next month after president Jean-Claude Trichet on Thursday said inflation pressures are diminishing as economic growth slows.

The financial crisis is intensifying in Europe, with governments forced to bail out banks and guarantee consumers' deposits after credit costs soared to records.

Major efforts are being made to mitigate the impact of the financial turmoil on the real economy, but you have various elements at play in different countries and what the overall impact is going to be at the end of the day is unpredictable," Bonello said. "There are several indications that the tempo of activity is slowing down but we have to wait for the [domestic product] number for the third quarter to know exactly the extent of this weakening."

The economy of the 15 countries sharing the euro contracted 0.2 per cent in the second and third-quarter GDP figures are due on November 14. The ECB will publish new growth and inflation forecasts in December.

The central bank last week left its benchmark interest rate at 4.25 per cent, a seven year high. Investors have priced in a reduction to 4 per cent by December.

The world's biggest financial institutions have recorded almost US$600 billion (Bt20.64 billion) in write downs and losses tied to the United States mortgage market since the start of last year, driving Lehman brothers Holdings into bankruptcy on September 15 and forcing governments to rescue banks in the US, UK and Europe. Bonello, who declined to comment on specific bail-outs, said the measures are "designed to restore confidence".

The ECB has held off cutting rates because of its concern that the jump in inflation will become entrenched through a wage-price spiral as workers seek compensation for the higher cost of living.

While inflation in Europe last month slowed to 3.6 per cent after crude-oil prices retreated from a July record of $147.27 a barrel, it is still above the ECB's 2-per-cent limit. Trichet last week said inflation risks have "not disappeared".

Bonello said, "The Governing Council has repeatedly warned that second- round effects risk setting off a wage-price spiral.

ECB, BANKS DRAIN EXCESS CASH

Record number of banks park cash as ending woes plague market

The European Central Bank said a record number of banks took up an offer to park cash with it on Monday as financial institutions baulk at lending to each other.

The ECB said it drained €172 billion (Bt8.05 trillion) from the banking system at a fixed rate of 4.25 per cent for one day.

A record 111 banks participated in the unscheduled liquidity-absorbing operation, more than twice the 54 involved in the tender on Friday, after the ECB last week relaxed restrictions on which institutions can take part.

Commercial banks are refusing to lend to each other after the United States housing slump caused the collapse of New York-based Lehman Brothers Holdings and forced governments to bail out banks in the US and Europe.

Last week, banks borrowed the most in more than seven years from the ECB at its emergency rate as the credit crunch worsened across the region.

Yesterday's draining operation was the fourth since banks' overnight deposits with the ECB jumped to a record €102.8 billion on September
30.

From yesterday, all banks that are eligible to participate in standard market operations and fulfil additional criteria specified by national central banks are allowed to bid in these auctions.

The ECB yesterday lent banks US$50 billion (Btl.72 trillion) for one day as demand for dollars in Europe surges. Banks bid for $90.9 billion.

The ECB will provide sufficient liquidity to keep money markets working and will continue to provide cash in euros as well as in dollars,
ECB president Jean-Claude Trichet said.

Confidence in financial markets is "the most important ingredient" to ending the turmoil, he said.
The worst US housing slump since the Great Depression has pushed up the cost of credit globally. The world's biggest financial companies have posted almost $600 billion in write-downs and credit losses since the start of last year after the sub-prime mortgage market collapsed.
