Yeah, I know. It has been a loooong time since the last time I uploaded something. I think I never took such a long break. I won't try to make excuses for it; sure, I was busy - whoever says that media studies is easy is shamelessly lying - but I could have uploaded something. I guess I needed some time away from photography. Time to focus on my studies and myself. I never thought about becoming a film editor, but the idea has been growing on me; and after writing two term papers I discovered an (unexpected) interest in gender studies. I still don't know what I'll be doing in three or five (or even one) years, but for once I have a sense of direction, even if I don't know where will it take me.

 

Still, I am now realizing that I actually missed photography (is that contradictory?) so I'll try to upload something more soon (I already have some selfies in mind!), before I start uni and English lessons and (hopefully) my part-time job.

 

I took the photo during and excursion with Inna , last week. Although it doesn't look like it, this was taken at 6PM. The light was strangely warm and reddish, and although it was beautiful it was also slightly unsettling. We later learned that it was because of a (huge) fire near :(

Gwen: i finally was able to cut off my toenail with the year-old blood blister

Chad: the entire toe nail???

Gwen: YES, CHAD I CUT OFF MY ENTIRE TOENAIL

Chad: it happens

Gwen: to whom?

Gwen: who would do that?

Chad: I dunno

Gwen: the guy making skin shoes?

Chad: STOP

 

[Pretty right toenail courtesy the late-last-night stubbing of the year that broke it all the way down and probably created another blood blister.]

My part-time job at GolfTown involves installing grips on golf clubs. February is the grip event, so I'll probably install over 2,000 of these on my shifts.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was visiting the Granite State on Wednesday.

  

Bush took questions at a town hall event in Hudson on Wednesday evening after making an unannounced stop at Harvey's Bakery and Coffee Shop in Dover earlier in the day.

 

Bush spoke, surrounded by veterans, at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Hudson -- a popular stop on the primary trail.

 

Bush spoke about New Hampshire's twin energy controversies -- the proposed Kinder Morgan natural gas pipeline in the state's southern tier, as well as the Northern Pass project.

 

"I mean, you guys are struggling to build pipelines and transmission lines, best I can tell," said Bush.

 

One attendee followed up, asking Bush what he knew about the pipeline.

 

"It promises to cut through a number of people's homes and [environmentally protected] land," the questioner said.

 

"There's a trade-off in this, which is how public policy works. The trade-off is how do you balance the economic interests of working-class families with environmental considerations? And those are best sorted out at the state level, not in Washington, DC," said Bush.

 

After the town hall, Bush told News 9 that he won't be taking sides.

 

"I think this should be locally driven," said Bush.

 

Bush also provided additional context to comments he made to the Union Leader editorial board earlier in the day.

 

Controversy began brewing on social media after Bush said that "people need to work longer hours."

 

Bush clarified that he was referring to new overtime rules, which he believes will force people into part-time jobs.

 

"I think people want to work harder, to be able to have more money in their own pockets -- not to be dependent upon government. You can take it out of context all you want, but high, sustained growth means people work 40 hours rather than 30 hours, and that by our success they have money -- disposable income for their families to decide how they want to spend it rather than getting in line," said Bush.

 

Bush also dismissed Donald Trump's criticism of his immigration position, when Trump essentially said that Bush is biased by the fact that his wife is Mexican.

 

"You can love your Mexican-American wife and also believe we need to control the border," said Bush.

 

Bush also had coffee and breakfast with a small crowd at Harvey's Bakery and Coffee Shop earlier in the day, where he said he'll use his leadership skills from his experience in office to change the roles within our government.

 

Bush said that one of the first things he would do in office is reduce federal overreach.

 

"Under this administration, there's been broad overreach in the regulatory powers. We need to bring powers back to states and local communities and that's something the president can do almost immediately,” said Bush.

 

Bush also said he would create a better energy plan for America and re-establish America's leadership internationally.

John Ellis "Jeb" Bush (born February 11, 1953) is an American businessman and politician who served as the 43rd Governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007. He is the second son of former President George H. W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush, and the younger brother of former President George W. Bush.

 

Bush grew up in Houston, Texas. He graduated from the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts and attended the University of Texas, where he earned a degree in Latin American affairs. Following his father's successful run for Vice President in 1980, he moved to Florida and pursued a career in real estate development. In 1986, Bush was named Florida's Secretary of Commerce, a position he held until his resignation in 1988 to help his father's successful campaign for the Presidency.

 

In 1994, Bush made his first run for office, narrowly losing the election for governor by less than two percentage points to the incumbent Lawton Chiles. Bush ran again in 1998 and defeated Lieutenant Governor Buddy MacKay with 55 percent of the vote. He ran for reelection in 2002 and won with 56 percent to become Florida's first two-term Republican governor. During his eight years as governor, Bush was credited with initiating environmental improvements, such as conservation in the Everglades, supporting caps for medical malpractice litigation, moving Medicaid recipients to private systems, and instituting reforms to the state education system, including the issuance of vouchers and promoting school choice.

 

Frequently cited by the media as a possible candidate for president in the 2016 election, Bush announced in mid-December 2014 that he would explore the possibility of running for President. Bush subsequently launched his presidential campaign on June 15, 2015 in Miami, Florida.

Sometimes I spend time with a stranger but for whatever reason, a photo does not result. I never view these encounters as a waste of time because for me this project is equally about the social experience and photography.

 

Such was the case this morning. I had dropped the car off for servicing and had a couple of hours to spend before picking it up. I walked downtown and saw a large crew setting up Toronto’s Dundas Square for a concert this coming weekend. I stopped to chat with a security guard who turned out to be very friendly and interesting. From Trinidad, his main job is as an engraver of jewelry and he does security as a part-time job. He had a great attitude toward life, believing that we are put on this earth to be kind to one another. Our conversation touched on a number of topics including religion (he is more religious than I but many of our values are the same) and politics.

 

When he declined my 100 Strangers invitation, saying that he doesn’t like posing for photos I gave the usual friendly encouragement but my usual gambits were not working so I laid off and we continued to chat with the occasional interruption as he had to open a gate or close it for workmen coming and going. A lot of the people around the square seemed to be on very friendly terms with him and I could understand why. We finally parted and he thanked me for stopping to chat, saying it was a pleasure and made the day go faster. “About your project, stop by another day and maybe I’ll say yes.” Giving it one last try I said “So is that day today?” He laughed and commented on my persistence as he gave me the fist-bump, “blow it up” farewell greeting.

 

Across the street I saw this distinctive gentleman standing on the corner, evidently waiting for someone or something. I was taken by his features and hat and approached him directly with a brief explanation of my project and he said “That’s ok.” I took a quick, almost grab-shot, photo to “get one in the bag” and then suggested we take a few steps back into the softer light of a building overhang where I took a couple more photos. In the end, I wound up liking them both but have chosen for the main submission the initial "quick shot" taken when we first met. I just felt it had a bit of extra impact even thought he looked a bit more at ease in the comment photo.

 

Meet Idris. Getting his portrait was as easy as Raymond the security guard had been difficult, yet I found out much more about Raymond than I did about Idris. Go figure. This project sure is unpredictable. Idris is from Eritrea which is in the Horn of Africa. He does not have email but gave me his postal address so I could send him a copy of his photo. Just then the friend (son?) he had been waiting for arrived and checked what I was up to. Satisfied that Idris didn’t need any protection from this strange man with a camera, he helped clarify the mailing address and they were on their way. My car was ready so I was also on my way. Back home I discovered the postal address was flawed but with a bit of detective work I found the error and corrected it.

 

Thank you Idris for participating in 100 Strangers. You are now Stranger #511 in Round 6 of my project. I hope you like your photo. I wish I'd gotten to know you a bit better. You seemed like a nice and interesting man.

In 1994, Bush made his first run for office, narrowly losing the election for governor by less than two percentage points to the incumbent Lawton Chiles. Bush ran again in 1998 and defeated Lieutenant Governor Buddy MacKay with 55 percent of the vote. He ran for reelection in 2002 and won with 56 percent to become Florida's first two-term Republican governor. During his eight years as governor, Bush was credited with initiating environmental improvements, such as conservation in the Everglades, supporting caps for medical malpractice litigation, moving Medicaid recipients to private systems, and instituting reforms to the state education system, including the issuance of vouchers and promoting school choice.

 

Frequently cited by the media as a possible candidate for president in the 2016 election, Bush announced in mid-December 2014 that he would explore the possibility of running for President. Bush subsequently launched his presidential campaign on June 15, 2015 in Miami, Florida.

My new babies. The Nikkor 17-55 2.8 AF-S and the Nikkor 80-200 2.8 AF-S. It's insane how much money I've spent on what was initially a hobby, which turned into a part-time job, which has recently become my full time profession due to being layed off (best thing that could have happened to me).

 

When I started out last year I bought a Nikon D40x with the kit lens. 4 months later I was totally past the D40x and went to get a D200 which is what I am shooting with now and loving it. It's a beast, and while I DO want a d300, I don't feel I need it.

 

I then added a Nikkor 55-200 to my kit, only to sell it 2 months later to buy the 18-200 VR.

 

I then sold BOTH the 18-55 and the 18-200 to buy a used Tokina 28-80 2.8 and a sigma 10-20, which I enjoyed both of those a lot, and thought I was set. riiiiiight.

 

Then I sold BOTH the sigma 10-20 and the Tokina 28-80 to buy Nikkor 17-55 because the tokina was useless at 2.8, which was the main reason I bought it, and the sigma is just wacky looking at anything wider than 17mm.

 

And, a week before being laid off, I purchased the Nikkor 80-200 2.8. Normally you'd think I should return the lens, since I was suddenly out of work and had this new $1000+ lens sitting here. And with the 17-55 costing me $1100, I was unemployed with a new kit of lenses costing over 2 grand.

 

But, I'm not getting another job, and I'm going to make this photography skill that i've developed work for me. Over the past week i've booked more gigs than I have in the year and a half that i've been shooting, and there is more in the works.

 

tommorrow, i shoot a death metal band lol. should be interesting.

 

thank god

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was visiting the Granite State on Wednesday.

  

Bush took questions at a town hall event in Hudson on Wednesday evening after making an unannounced stop at Harvey's Bakery and Coffee Shop in Dover earlier in the day.

 

Bush spoke, surrounded by veterans, at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Hudson -- a popular stop on the primary trail.

 

Bush spoke about New Hampshire's twin energy controversies -- the proposed Kinder Morgan natural gas pipeline in the state's southern tier, as well as the Northern Pass project.

 

"I mean, you guys are struggling to build pipelines and transmission lines, best I can tell," said Bush.

 

One attendee followed up, asking Bush what he knew about the pipeline.

 

"It promises to cut through a number of people's homes and [environmentally protected] land," the questioner said.

 

"There's a trade-off in this, which is how public policy works. The trade-off is how do you balance the economic interests of working-class families with environmental considerations? And those are best sorted out at the state level, not in Washington, DC," said Bush.

 

After the town hall, Bush told News 9 that he won't be taking sides.

 

"I think this should be locally driven," said Bush.

 

Bush also provided additional context to comments he made to the Union Leader editorial board earlier in the day.

 

Controversy began brewing on social media after Bush said that "people need to work longer hours."

 

Bush clarified that he was referring to new overtime rules, which he believes will force people into part-time jobs.

 

"I think people want to work harder, to be able to have more money in their own pockets -- not to be dependent upon government. You can take it out of context all you want, but high, sustained growth means people work 40 hours rather than 30 hours, and that by our success they have money -- disposable income for their families to decide how they want to spend it rather than getting in line," said Bush.

 

Bush also dismissed Donald Trump's criticism of his immigration position, when Trump essentially said that Bush is biased by the fact that his wife is Mexican.

 

"You can love your Mexican-American wife and also believe we need to control the border," said Bush.

 

Bush also had coffee and breakfast with a small crowd at Harvey's Bakery and Coffee Shop earlier in the day, where he said he'll use his leadership skills from his experience in office to change the roles within our government.

 

Bush said that one of the first things he would do in office is reduce federal overreach.

 

"Under this administration, there's been broad overreach in the regulatory powers. We need to bring powers back to states and local communities and that's something the president can do almost immediately,” said Bush.

 

Bush also said he would create a better energy plan for America and re-establish America's leadership internationally.

[Best on Black]

  

I have all of Austen's books on my kindle, but I felt I should read them from my humongous book as I just remember how much I longed to buy this book to begin with. Got it when I was still back home, and back then it was a huge book completely in English, hardcover and beautiful and by one of my favourite writers of the time. I am not sure if she's still my favourite writer now, I have to finish Sense and Sensibility first to decide.

 

I know it's not one of my best photos, but to be fair I wasn't even sure I was going to put any photo up today. I am feeling a bit down again, job hunting is putting me down and the part time job I have at the moment leaves me drained of energy by the end of the day.

 

I am sure if you go through my photostream all I do is complain, about how little time I have and how tired I am... I really wish something would change. Darn economy is slowly killing me. You'd think with a first class degree I'd stand a better chance to get a job after graduating, but besides trying to get a job I need to go through fucktons of paperwork to first be allowed to work in the UK. I am not sure I was ready for this when university finished, or at least I was expecting it to be easier. Real life is quite a pain, and being without my parents who used to sort out everything for me it's actually making me realise how much they did to begin with. I might sound like a spoilt child now, but in the end... that's exactly what I was till I came in the UK. I was an only child for whom my parents did everything. And even throughout university they still supported me. Now I am actually working and paying for my shit. And... I only wish bureaucracy would fuck off and companies would hire people honestly, without nepotism and favours. But hey, not living in an utopian world now am I? No matter where I would go really I would hit the same walls, so I chose to hit the UK walls like in a freaking pin-ball game. I am not even getting points for it...

 

Buuuut anyway... shouldn't turn flickr in a blog really. Just got carried away.

Wellington.

Morphett selected the area around Wellington and up both banks of the Murray River for the Secondary Towns Association as a Special Survey for £4,000 in 1839. Morphett bought up land in the district for himself as well. The Secondary Towns Association had also paid for the Special Survey at Currency Creek which they foresaw would become the New Orleans of the South. They had the same idea about Wellington (although Morphett wanted to call the town Victoria.) They surveyed the land, selling off 400 forty acre farmlets and they subdivided one thousand town blocks for the town of Wellington. Their high expectations were not met, few town blocks were built upon and Wellington East on the other side of the Murray never developed at all. Wellington was at the end of the Murray and at the entranced to Lake Alexandrina but traffic was slow and when the river trade did begin in 1854 Wellington was just one stop among many. It never became a major river port. Its two ongoing and consistent functions were to provide ferry services across the Murray River and to house the police, Aboriginal Sub-Protection Officer (John Mason for many years) and visiting court officials.

 

Apart from John Morphett, one of the first buyers of freehold land in Wellington and near Wellington was Allan McFarlane who later built Wellington Lodge. Other early land purchasers were the Cooke brothers and Robert Barr Smith. All saw the potential of Wellington but only McFarlane stayed the distance and reaped the rewards. Although being located at a major crossing point of the Murray and being the gateway town for the land route down to the South East and on to Port Phillip colony, Wellington suffered set backs. In 1879 a new road and rail bridge was opened at Edwards Crossing, now Murray Bridge removing much of the traffic across the Murray at Wellington. The town survived this. But the arrival of the railway at nearby Tailem Bend (1886) took even more traffic away from Wellington. Although there was government talk of a bridge across the Murray at Wellington in 1864 nothing happened at that stage. The feasibility studies were done on several crossing points with Wellington coming in the most expensive as the bedrock soil report was not favourable. Wellington would have been the most expensive option for bridging the Murray. Edwards Crossing, the cheapest, was selected instead in the 1870s.

 

But before the bridge was built Willington in the 1840s had great potential. Morphett operated the first ferry across the Murray in 1839 before the town was established in 1840. The town had a police presence before the township was established too with a Sub-Protector of Aboriginals based there. The government stationed police there from 1841 to bring law and order to the region. The first police station was built in 1845 but it was probably not much more than a shanty. It was replaced by a new station in 1849. But the soft soils at Wellington meant that this structure was soon in need of replacement and it was condemned in 1862. The current police station, and court house (and originally ferry house too) were erected in 1864. The stables were added in 1865. Although in a good state of repair it has not been a court house and police station for many years. It was owned by the National Trust but it has recently been sold to private occupiers. In the 1840s two hotels were licensed in Wellington but only one survived, the 1846 built Wellington Hotel. Despite modernisation it is still there and still operates.

 

Perhaps the most famous ferryman at Wellington was the former Police Commissioner Alexander Tolmer. The one time Commissioner of Police, and instigator of the Gold Escort services from the Victorian goldfields in the early 1850s. But by 1857 he was unemployed as his position was made redundant. In that year Tolmer moved to Wellington to become a sheep farmer and the ferry man. He wrote his biography which he called A Chequered Career to explain his demise. He had pioneered a route across the Ninety Mile desert to Victoria to escort gold back to Adelaide to be assayed in the SA office. The first escort in 1852 took nine days to reach Bendigo. The Governor Sir Henry Fox gave a dinner party for Tolmer on his return and a gift of £100. Commissioner Tolmer led two more escorts but in total some 18 escorts were conducted. Some time later when he was away on police business, a review of the police department led to him being demoted to Inspector. Then this inspector position was abolished in 1856. Our gold hero was then unemployed! In 1857 he moved to Wellington and took up a block of land. Tolmer wrote about himself:”I knew no more about sheep farming than the man in the moon.” He gave up farming and was almost destitute but he then he gained a part time job as returning officer for the District of Murray. His main income was rent from his house at Norwood. In 1859/60 he bought a boat from Mr Potts a boat builder (and wine maker) of Langhorne’s Creek and he began a second ferry service across the Murray. He nearly drowned working his ferry and Alan McFarlane, the great pastoralist of Wellington Lodge rescued him and the boat. Then in 1862 Tolmer was appointed Crown Lands Ranger at a salary of £200 per annum. In 1866 he and his family were transferred to Kingston South East and he departed from Wellington. In 1871 he returned to the Valuations Department of the government in Adelaide. He then lived at Mitcham until he died there in 1891.

 

In 2010 while I was studying abroad in Okazaki, Japan, I learned a lot about the dynamic of the Japanese classroom. In this picture you can draw context clues to really analyze how this dynamic takes shape. You can see some students who didn't feel like moving their desks sitting in the back with their bentos (lunchbox), joking with their friends (also notable is how they are all the boys from the class), while other students (literally all of the girls) would pool their desks together, forming an island to eat their bentos together. This is a stark contrast to the American high school dynamic where there is no clear (and yet unforced) division of the sexes. This is due to a cultural aspect of Japanese society, where young boys are expected to maintain a clear distance from their female student counterparts so as to avoid any kind of possible misconceptions as well as to make sure the school itself doesn't formulate the impression that there is any intimacy. This was always very strange to me as an exchange student, because here in the United States it's perfectly ok to treat the opposite sex in the same capacity as your shared sex, so I never really fully understood where my place lied. Japanese schools are very invasive into the personal lives of their students. You can be kicked out of your school for getting a part-time job without permission, or even if it's discovered that you're in a relationship. Japanese students are expected not to do anything that might compromise their grade standings.

 

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was visiting the Granite State on Wednesday.

  

Bush took questions at a town hall event in Hudson on Wednesday evening after making an unannounced stop at Harvey's Bakery and Coffee Shop in Dover earlier in the day.

 

Bush spoke, surrounded by veterans, at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Hudson -- a popular stop on the primary trail.

 

Bush spoke about New Hampshire's twin energy controversies -- the proposed Kinder Morgan natural gas pipeline in the state's southern tier, as well as the Northern Pass project.

 

"I mean, you guys are struggling to build pipelines and transmission lines, best I can tell," said Bush.

 

One attendee followed up, asking Bush what he knew about the pipeline.

 

"It promises to cut through a number of people's homes and [environmentally protected] land," the questioner said.

 

"There's a trade-off in this, which is how public policy works. The trade-off is how do you balance the economic interests of working-class families with environmental considerations? And those are best sorted out at the state level, not in Washington, DC," said Bush.

 

After the town hall, Bush told News 9 that he won't be taking sides.

 

"I think this should be locally driven," said Bush.

 

Bush also provided additional context to comments he made to the Union Leader editorial board earlier in the day.

 

Controversy began brewing on social media after Bush said that "people need to work longer hours."

 

Bush clarified that he was referring to new overtime rules, which he believes will force people into part-time jobs.

 

"I think people want to work harder, to be able to have more money in their own pockets -- not to be dependent upon government. You can take it out of context all you want, but high, sustained growth means people work 40 hours rather than 30 hours, and that by our success they have money -- disposable income for their families to decide how they want to spend it rather than getting in line," said Bush.

 

Bush also dismissed Donald Trump's criticism of his immigration position, when Trump essentially said that Bush is biased by the fact that his wife is Mexican.

 

"You can love your Mexican-American wife and also believe we need to control the border," said Bush.

 

Bush also had coffee and breakfast with a small crowd at Harvey's Bakery and Coffee Shop earlier in the day, where he said he'll use his leadership skills from his experience in office to change the roles within our government.

 

Bush said that one of the first things he would do in office is reduce federal overreach.

 

"Under this administration, there's been broad overreach in the regulatory powers. We need to bring powers back to states and local communities and that's something the president can do almost immediately,” said Bush.

 

Bush also said he would create a better energy plan for America and re-establish America's leadership internationally.

****************************************

 

John Ellis "Jeb" Bush (born February 11, 1953) is an American businessman and politician who served as the 43rd Governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007. He is the second son of former President George H. W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush, and the younger brother of former President George W. Bush.

 

Bush grew up in Houston, Texas. He graduated from the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts and attended the University of Texas, where he earned a degree in Latin American affairs. Following his father's successful run for Vice President in 1980, he moved to Florida and pursued a career in real estate development. In 1986, Bush was named Florida's Secretary of Commerce, a position he held until his resignation in 1988 to help his father's successful campaign for the Presidency.

 

In 1994, Bush made his first run for office, narrowly losing the election for governor by less than two percentage points to the incumbent Lawton Chiles. Bush ran again in 1998 and defeated Lieutenant Governor Buddy MacKay with 55 percent of the vote. He ran for reelection in 2002 and won with 56 percent to become Florida's first two-term Republican governor. During his eight years as governor, Bush was credited with initiating environmental improvements, such as conservation in the Everglades, supporting caps for medical malpractice litigation, moving Medicaid recipients to private systems, and instituting reforms to the state education system, including the issuance of vouchers and promoting school choice.

 

Frequently cited by the media as a possible candidate for president in the 2016 election, Bush announced in mid-December 2014 that he would explore the possibility of running for President. Bush subsequently launched his presidential campaign on June 15, 2015 in Miami, Florida.

During his eight years as governor, Bush was credited with initiating environmental improvements, such as conservation in the Everglades, supporting caps for medical malpractice litigation, moving Medicaid recipients to private systems, and instituting reforms to the state education system, including the issuance of vouchers and promoting school choice.

 

Frequently cited by the media as a possible candidate for president in the 2016 election, Bush announced in mid-December 2014 that he would explore the possibility of running for President. Bush subsequently launched his presidential campaign on June 15, 2015 in Miami, Florida.

I have been MIA from Flickr with no real good excuse. Granted I am busy finishing up at university and working two part time jobs, but there is always time for photography. Hell, one of my jobs is taking pictures on campus, so there really is no good excuse for lacking from Flickr.

 

This one goes out to 4:01a.m Productions for being a solid, stand-up guy. I am continuously blown away by the creativity in both his photos and videos. Keep up the work my man!

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was visiting the Granite State on Wednesday.

  

Bush took questions at a town hall event in Hudson on Wednesday evening after making an unannounced stop at Harvey's Bakery and Coffee Shop in Dover earlier in the day.

 

Bush spoke, surrounded by veterans, at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Hudson -- a popular stop on the primary trail.

 

Bush spoke about New Hampshire's twin energy controversies -- the proposed Kinder Morgan natural gas pipeline in the state's southern tier, as well as the Northern Pass project.

 

"I mean, you guys are struggling to build pipelines and transmission lines, best I can tell," said Bush.

 

One attendee followed up, asking Bush what he knew about the pipeline.

 

"It promises to cut through a number of people's homes and [environmentally protected] land," the questioner said.

 

"There's a trade-off in this, which is how public policy works. The trade-off is how do you balance the economic interests of working-class families with environmental considerations? And those are best sorted out at the state level, not in Washington, DC," said Bush.

 

After the town hall, Bush told News 9 that he won't be taking sides.

 

"I think this should be locally driven," said Bush.

 

Bush also provided additional context to comments he made to the Union Leader editorial board earlier in the day.

 

Controversy began brewing on social media after Bush said that "people need to work longer hours."

 

Bush clarified that he was referring to new overtime rules, which he believes will force people into part-time jobs.

 

"I think people want to work harder, to be able to have more money in their own pockets -- not to be dependent upon government. You can take it out of context all you want, but high, sustained growth means people work 40 hours rather than 30 hours, and that by our success they have money -- disposable income for their families to decide how they want to spend it rather than getting in line," said Bush.

 

Bush also dismissed Donald Trump's criticism of his immigration position, when Trump essentially said that Bush is biased by the fact that his wife is Mexican.

 

"You can love your Mexican-American wife and also believe we need to control the border," said Bush.

 

Bush also had coffee and breakfast with a small crowd at Harvey's Bakery and Coffee Shop earlier in the day, where he said he'll use his leadership skills from his experience in office to change the roles within our government.

 

Bush said that one of the first things he would do in office is reduce federal overreach.

 

"Under this administration, there's been broad overreach in the regulatory powers. We need to bring powers back to states and local communities and that's something the president can do almost immediately,” said Bush.

 

Bush also said he would create a better energy plan for America and re-establish America's leadership internationally.

John Ellis "Jeb" Bush (born February 11, 1953) is an American businessman and politician who served as the 43rd Governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007. He is the second son of former President George H. W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush, and the younger brother of former President George W. Bush.

 

Bush grew up in Houston, Texas. He graduated from the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts and attended the University of Texas, where he earned a degree in Latin American affairs. Following his father's successful run for Vice President in 1980, he moved to Florida and pursued a career in real estate development. In 1986, Bush was named Florida's Secretary of Commerce, a position he held until his resignation in 1988 to help his father's successful campaign for the Presidency.

 

In 1994, Bush made his first run for office, narrowly losing the election for governor by less than two percentage points to the incumbent Lawton Chiles. Bush ran again in 1998 and defeated Lieutenant Governor Buddy MacKay with 55 percent of the vote. He ran for reelection in 2002 and won with 56 percent to become Florida's first two-term Republican governor.

In contrast to the Grant data, the Glueck study data suggested that industriousness in childhood—as indicated by such things as whether the boys had part-time jobs, took on chores, or joined school clubs or sports teams—predicted adult mental health better than any other factor, including family cohesion and warm maternal relationships. “What we do,” Vaillant concluded, “affects how we feel just as much as how we feel affects what we do.” ―Joshua Wolf Shenk

Sir George Hubert Wilkins (known as Hubert), Military Cross and Bar, MiD

 

Hubert Wilkins was born 31 October 1888 in an outback cottage on his parents’ property named Netfield, Mount Bryan East, South Australia. He was the youngest of 13 children, born to Henry and Louisa Wilkins.

He was war correspondent and photographer, polar explorer, naturalist, geographer, climatologist, ornithologist and aviator. As a child, Hubert experienced the devastation caused by drought and developed an interest in climatic phenomena.

If hardship moulded the character of Hubert Wilkins, so also did his passion for nature, music and a desire for knowledge. Enrolled in both the South Australian School of Mines and the Elder Conservatorium School of Music simultaneously, he studied electrical engineering, and singing, playing the organ, flute and cello at the Conservatorium.

 

It was in a number of part time jobs he learnt the art of blacksmithing, and gained a sound knowledge of the workings of both steam and internal combustion engines. On a trip to Sydney he became interested in photography. Returning to Adelaide he found employment with a travelling cinema and travelled in both South Australia and the Eastern States showing films.

 

When he was 20 years old (1908) he decided to leave Adelaide and see something of the world. At this time in his life a number of thoughts were forming in his mind, thoughts based upon his past experiences and that were to lead him to follow fixed courses of action. One of the most important of his ideas was to attempt to discover how and why the weather could so dramatically affect people’s lives, as it had done his own. Two forces now took over his life: the need to discover things concerning the world about him, and the need to travel to places that would provide him with the answers to the many questions forming in his mind.

 

His travels began by stowing away on a ship at Port Adelaide. The ship deposited him in Sydney and he soon found employment as a projectionist, then later as a cinematographer.

 

On reaching London he obtained work with the Gaumont Company as a cinematographic cameraman and with the Daily Chronicle as a reporter. It was then (1910) that he learnt to fly at Hendon. He did not sit for any of the flying exams, which would have made him a qualified pilot, through lack of money. But his interest in flying was to remain with him for the rest of his life. So too was his passion for photography. Photographs of the time (1911) show him performing photographic stunts. One popular photograph shows him astride the fuselage of a Deperdussin monoplane hand cranking his camera. Despite these promotional stunts Hubert Wilkins was perfecting the art of taking aerial motion pictures. In his autobiography he believed he was the first person to take a movie camera into the air and film the scenes around him.

 

As a war correspondent and photographer, in 1912 he covered the fighting between the Turks and Bulgarians. From 1913 to 1916 he was second-in-command on Vilhjalmur Stefansson's Canadian Arctic expedition: Wilkins became adept in the art of survival in polar regions, added to his scientific knowledge and conceived a plan to improve weather forecasting by establishing permanent stations at the poles.

Returning to Australia, on 1 May 1917 he was commissioned as second lieutenant in the Australian Imperial Force (Australian Flying Corps). By August he had been transferred to the general list and was at I Anzac Corps headquarters on the Western Front. Appointed official photographer in April 1918, he was tasked with providing 'an accurate and complete record of the fighting and other activities of the A.I.F.' as a counterpart to Captain J. F. Hurley's propaganda work. In June Wilkins was awarded the Military Cross 'for bringing in some wounded men'. With Hurley's departure, he was promoted captain on 11 July and took charge of No.3 (Photographic) Sub-section of the Australian War Records unit. His routine was to visit the front line for part of each day that troops were engaged in combat and periodically to accompany infantry assaults. During the battle of the Hindenburg line, on 29 September he organized a group of American soldiers who had lost their officers in an enemy attack and directed operations until support arrived. Awarded a Bar to his M.C., he was also mentioned in dispatches. He is the only Australian official photographer to have been decorated.

 

In January 1919, as photographer, Wilkins joined Charles Bean’s mission to reconstruct Australia's part in the Gallipoli Peninsula campaign. He entered the England to Australia air race that year, but his aircraft, a Blackburn Kangaroo, experienced engine failure and crash-landed in Crete; he arrived in Australia by sea in July 1920 and his A.I.F. appointment terminated on 7 September. Engaging in further polar exploration, in 1920-21 he made his first visit to the Antarctic, accompanying J. L. Cope on his unsuccessful voyage to Graham Land. Wilkins next took part in Sir Ernest Shackleton's Quest expedition of 1921-22 on which he made ornithological observations.

Sir Hubert’s adventures continued from his home base in America. On one occasion he gleaned information from the Japanese Consul-General about Japan's intention to destroy Pearl Harbour and invade Singapore. Sir Hubert passed the information to the Allies but was not believed.

He died suddenly at Massachusetts, on 30 November 1958 and was cremated: four months later his ashes were scattered from the ‘Skate’ at the North Pole. Lady Wilkins survived him and wrote affectionately of a husband whose only contact with her for extended periods had been through his letters.

*Jamestown – the town was surveyed in 1871 and named in the same year by Governor Sir James Fergusson after himself, entirely ignoring the beautiful native name of “Belalie”, the creek running through the township.

However, Governor Fergusson may have had a defence against alleged egotism because there are villages of the same name in Counties Ross and Dumfries, Scotland, from whence he came.

 

Business in Jamestown was very brisk, more especially in the drinking line. While we were there both hotels were crowded…Jamestown was evidently short of architects when the commercial houses were planned. They are small inconvenient places…

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was visiting the Granite State on Wednesday.

  

Bush took questions at a town hall event in Hudson on Wednesday evening after making an unannounced stop at Harvey's Bakery and Coffee Shop in Dover earlier in the day.

 

Bush spoke, surrounded by veterans, at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Hudson -- a popular stop on the primary trail.

 

Bush spoke about New Hampshire's twin energy controversies -- the proposed Kinder Morgan natural gas pipeline in the state's southern tier, as well as the Northern Pass project.

 

"I mean, you guys are struggling to build pipelines and transmission lines, best I can tell," said Bush.

 

One attendee followed up, asking Bush what he knew about the pipeline.

 

"It promises to cut through a number of people's homes and [environmentally protected] land," the questioner said.

 

"There's a trade-off in this, which is how public policy works. The trade-off is how do you balance the economic interests of working-class families with environmental considerations? And those are best sorted out at the state level, not in Washington, DC," said Bush.

 

After the town hall, Bush told News 9 that he won't be taking sides.

 

"I think this should be locally driven," said Bush.

 

Bush also provided additional context to comments he made to the Union Leader editorial board earlier in the day.

 

Controversy began brewing on social media after Bush said that "people need to work longer hours."

 

Bush clarified that he was referring to new overtime rules, which he believes will force people into part-time jobs.

 

"I think people want to work harder, to be able to have more money in their own pockets -- not to be dependent upon government. You can take it out of context all you want, but high, sustained growth means people work 40 hours rather than 30 hours, and that by our success they have money -- disposable income for their families to decide how they want to spend it rather than getting in line," said Bush.

 

Bush also dismissed Donald Trump's criticism of his immigration position, when Trump essentially said that Bush is biased by the fact that his wife is Mexican.

 

"You can love your Mexican-American wife and also believe we need to control the border," said Bush.

 

Bush also had coffee and breakfast with a small crowd at Harvey's Bakery and Coffee Shop earlier in the day, where he said he'll use his leadership skills from his experience in office to change the roles within our government.

 

Bush said that one of the first things he would do in office is reduce federal overreach.

 

"Under this administration, there's been broad overreach in the regulatory powers. We need to bring powers back to states and local communities and that's something the president can do almost immediately,” said Bush.

 

Bush also said he would create a better energy plan for America and re-establish America's leadership internationally.

John Ellis "Jeb" Bush (born February 11, 1953) is an American businessman and politician who served as the 43rd Governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007. He is the second son of former President George H. W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush, and the younger brother of former President George W. Bush.

 

Bush grew up in Houston, Texas. He graduated from the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts and attended the University of Texas, where he earned a degree in Latin American affairs. Following his father's successful run for Vice President in 1980, he moved to Florida and pursued a career in real estate development. In 1986, Bush was named Florida's Secretary of Commerce, a position he held until his resignation in 1988 to help his father's successful campaign for the Presidency.

 

In 1994, Bush made his first run for office, narrowly losing the election for governor by less than two percentage points to the incumbent Lawton Chiles. Bush ran again in 1998 and defeated Lieutenant Governor Buddy MacKay with 55 percent of the vote. He ran for reelection in 2002 and won with 56 percent to become Florida's first two-term Republican governor. During his eight years as governor, Bush was credited with initiating environmental improvements, such as conservation in the Everglades, supporting caps for medical malpractice litigation, moving Medicaid recipients to private systems, and instituting reforms to the state education system, including the issuance of vouchers and promoting school choice.

 

Frequently cited by the media as a possible candidate for president in the 2016 election, Bush announced in mid-December 2014 that he would explore the possibility of running for President. Bush subsequently launched his presidential campaign on June 15, 2015 in Miami, Florida.

Mrs Mabel Duffy has been a Voluntary worker for many years in St Matthews Church

 

MABEL DUFFY EULOGY . FEBRUARY 23 2022

 

We have come a long way in her lifetime.

 

the day that Mabel was born ,May 11 1929 , the Dail was debating the closure of workhouses , which had existed in Ireland since before the famine. We have come a long way in her lifetime.

 

It is fair to say that Mabel and her siblings , Annie, May , Monica , Agnes , Patsi , John and Willie with their parents Grace and Peter did not have an easy early life. Mabel unfortunately could not recall if she made her communion or confirmation as they lived in 19 different places in Dublin City before she was 19. But the six girls were a strong and lively sisterhood , working together in the same factories from an early age.

 

.She was 24 when she had her first child James living in Mountjoy Place I was born there too

 

But things changed dramatically in 1958 when Mabel and Jimmys name was picked out of a lottery at City Hall and they got a house in 6 claddagh Green , she moved there with 2 children , 4 were to arrive later and Jimmy headed off to England sporadically for work .

 

She lived in Claddagh Green for over 60 years , refusing any other better housing offers- and when she eventually bought the house off the Corporation , with her own money , she carried the deeds around in her handbag .

 

My God ,she worked hard from long before she was married , like so many … then rearing six children . She was very disciplined with us and herself- remember this was a woman who hardly ever drank , or smoked , yet insisted on buying low fat flora for herself til the day she left claddagh green in November 2020.

 

That being said when we were growing up she never asked for or accepted help , would never let margarine onto the table apart from her own , or visit the stew house in Ballyfermot.

 

We seldom saw our mother sitting down. It was only after she got a part time job as a cleaner in Semperit tyre factory - which was supposed to be a six month fund raising project to buy a twin tub washing machine -that her routine changed. Six months changed into 20 years - you know what its like once you get the twin tub you want the villa in portugal-and the two skiing holidays a year -she headed off across the fields with Molly McGrane every afternoon in her blue smock at 5 o clock , having been up from shortly after 6 that morning ,home at 9;30 , and that was the only time I saw her sit down in her slippers by the fire.

 

But she loved living in Ballyfermot , her life began to improve- which I mean our lives - despite having no formal education she pushed us on.

 

Her beloved youngest son Aidan , was tragically killed in a car crash in 1991 , aged 25, this was 7 years after our father died aged 58.

 

When she died last Sunday Mabel was six years longer a widow that she was a wife.

 

She loved her garden , growing rhubarb - for her gorgeous tarts-out in the back and flowers in the front - she insisted on cutting her grass with a shears and a push lawnmower up to the the time she was 90 , this was after she finished shining the concrete steps outside her hall down on her hands and knees with Mansion red wax polish.

 

She loved dancing , and she could move, the photo on the front of the missalette is taken at her 90th birthday with a high speed camera as we couldn’t get her to stand still !

 

She enjoyed great health , even when she beat off nighttime intruders with her curtain rail while living alone a few years ago ,the Gardai in Ballyfermot wanted her to go to hospital , but when the paramedics arrived they discovered she had healthier blood pressure than the assembled uniformed younger men and women around her .

 

But her vision began to fail dramatically- but again even after going through a long regime of very painful eye injections,she refused any painkillers.

 

Gradually her health began to fail and frail.

 

This she found hard to accept.

 

With her almost clinically blind I rang father Joe asking him if he could give her communion in the body of the church as he did with others during mass. The following Sunday he duly went down to Mabel in her favourite seat —denying she had any eyesight problems she bet him back to the altar with her missalette.

 

But falls at home , and a stroke brought the inevitable in the middle of the covid pandemic in 2020 ,when St James

 

hospital insisted she needed intensive 24 hour help. She contracted covid before vaccines arrived , and she reluctantly went into Kiltipper Woods care centre , where she lived and was cared for brilliantly since December 2020 .

 

And as in Claddagh Green she was visited almost every day by her only daughter Pauline- Pauline ,Alan Shauna Conor and Ryan, , I know you were Mabel’s rock every day for so many years , and she was often hard on you - us boys got the wooden spoon on the back of the legs when we mitched school ,but to see Mabel brandishing a frying pan at you , with the egg still in it ,I know has left a lasting laugh in your memory . Thanks .

 

James her eldest and easily most obliging son in every facet of his life was another rock of sense and help always available anytime night or day , his biggest taxi account was six Claddagh Green. Thanks .

 

Peter , you knew loss when one of Mabel’s great soulmates your wife Celine died prematurely in 2010- but you had a great way with Mammy always getting a laugh out of her . Thanks.

 

Brendan , the brightest was the apple of her eye , his good looks , intelligence and charm , despite his own challenges always won the day with Mabel , but she never shirked from tough love.

 

Aidan her youngest was sickly as a child but without a shadow of a doubt was most attached to our mother , his early death in a car crash at 25 when he was on the cusp of a great life , was a wound which has never healed for any of us.

 

Mabel we were blessed in your often hard life, blessed in your easy passing, and after nearly 94 years on this earth blessed beyond belief that you were our mother .

 

So in this church , your favourite , we say goodbye today , like so many of your generation ,

 

Mabel ,you sank the well and we drank the water.

 

But although to my unending regret she did not get an education - which did affect her life, Mabel may never have learned in school that water was a compound of hydrogen and oxygen H2o , but she did remind us in her lived life that true knowledge of water ……is thirst.

 

Thank you for coming , and thinking of Mabel

 

We have come a long way because of her lifetime.

 

Joe Duffy.

   

I have a part time job as a system administrator at my department. It's usually more software than hardware (except the occational toner cartridge replacement), but today I had some more physical work.

 

The scientific staff has got new UPSes, which means that the students get to inherit their old. So today I had to move some server rack brackets from one server rack to another, to make room for the new power backup. I didn't have time to finish during my office hours, so I will complete the move tomorrow. Also some rewiring will be required.

Minggu ni lambat betul update flickr. Quite busy and lazy as well, haha... Sejuk2 ni sangat laa best untuk berehat2, dan perut pulak sentiasa lapar, macam2 nak makan, jadi memasak pun agak aktif laa minggu ni, hihi. Tapi I cuma sempat snap few pictures jer. Menu yang dimasak minggu ini selain dalam gambar ialah mee kuah, cucur ubi, cucur keria, mushroom and chicken soup, garlic bread dan mee goreng mamak.

 

So, jom kita tengok gambar dulu ya. Sosej bun tu untuk minum petang dan breakfast. Salad pulak my lunch, selalunya bila time malas nak fikir apa nak makan untuk lunch, I keluarkan segala sayur dan buah yang ada dalam fridge dan potong2 atau sagat2 then letak dressing either mayonis or goma-tare(sos bijan). Biasanya I makan dengan nasi laa, kalau makan sayur2 saja, mana nak kenyang kan...

 

Bubur dan puree tu makanan Rafiqh. Yup, sekarang tak makan dalam mangkuk baby lagi, kena letak dalam mangkuk besar, makin banyak pulak budak ni makan. Bubur tu I letak karot, kentang, pumpkin, kurma dan ayam. Masak semuanya hingga lembut kemudian lecekkan jer, siap. Puree pula sekarang dah tak makan banyak sangat, satu bekas satu hari jer, so I biasanya prepare untuk 3 kali makan, 1 bahagian dimakan, 2 lagi diisi dalam 2 bekas dan simpan dalam fridge. 2 bekas tu kadang2 untuk 2 hari tapi kadang2 habis hari yang sama jugak. Puree kali ni ialah pisang, avocavo, buah kaki dan epal. Yummy!!!

 

Untuk entry kali ni, I nak kongsi pandangan tentang topik "membesarkan anak"... As I always say, this is just my 2 cent, you might agree or disagree, it's okey guys, do leave your comments if you want to share your opinions.

 

Kepulangan kami ke Malaysia baru2 ni ada hikmahnya juga rupanya, disebalik perkara yang tak best tu ada jugak sesuatu yang Allah nak kami pelajari...

Sebelum ada anak, kami tak banyak berfikir soal kepentingan "pembesaran anak". Kami belum dapat lihat dengan jelas apakah penghalang2 atau faktor2 perosak yang boleh mengganggu gugat pembesaran positif anak2. Bila pulang kali ini, dengan adanya Rafiqh, naluri keibubapaan kami lebih mudah tersentuh dan terkesan melihatkan cara anak2 dibesarkan di Malaysia.

 

Budaya masyarakat jepun di sini, bagi wanita yang mendirikan rumahtangga, mereka akan berhenti bekerja dan soal mencari nafkah 100% terletak di bahu suami. Namun, dek peredaran masa, ada juga ibu2 yang masih bekerja walaupun sudah ada anak, tapi sungguh jarang berlaku. Di sini, lazimnya ibu2 lebih banyak buat part time job, meninggalkan anak2 beberapa jam di nursery dan keluar mencari kepuasan bekerja. Namun, berbeza sekali dengan masyarakat Malaysia, amat jarang menemui seorang ibu surirumah, rata2nya keluar bertungkus-lumus membantu suami mencari wang. Faktor terbesar berlakunya keadaan ini ialah kerana kos sara hidup yang makin meruncing, yang sekiranya hanya seorang yang bekerja, ekonomi keluarga jadi tak stabil.

 

Melihatkan anak2 yang terbiar apabila ibu sibuk di luar membuatkan kami terfikir, apakah nanti anak2 kami juga akan mengalami nasib yang sama. Kerana itulah sejak dulu lagi I memang tak nak bekerja makan gaji, sebab utama ialah anak lah! I tak suka orang gaji, I juga tak suka nursery, apalagi nak bagi anak dijaga orang lain, oh tidak! Solution di sini ialah I akan bekerja sendiri, tapi selagi namanya bekerja pastilah bergelumang juga dengan kesibukan kan? Bagaimana nanti I nak perhalusi jadual hidup I agar kesibukan tu tak jadi sebab anak2 tersisih.

 

Point nya di sini bukanlah menyalahkan ibu yang keluar bekerja, tetapi bagaimana ibu2 ini memainkan peranan mereka sebagai "ibu" yang sebenar, bukan setakat "buat anak", kemudian "lantak pi hang laa nak membesar macammana", hah jawablah kat akhirat nanti! hahaha. "Membesar" ini sendiri pun banyak maknanya, luas pengertiannya... Ada yang merasakan cukup makan pakai, sudah laa, walaupun hakikatnya membesarkan seorang anak lebih kompleks dari membesarkan seekor kucing... kan? kan?

 

Makan pakai tu memang faktor yang penting tapi melihat persekitaran dia membesar dan pengasuhnya juga tak kurang penting. Dari pemerhatian I, ada 3 kategori yang boleh diklasifikasikan.

Pertama, bagi anak2 yang dihantar ke pusat jagaan sementara, nursery atau ke rumah orang, bila pulang ke rumah mereka tetap diberi perhatian oleh ibu walaupun dah penat seharian di tempat kerja, mostly ibu ini tak punya pilihan selain tetap menjaga kepentingan anak2 seperti soal makanan, pakaian dan layanan.

Kedua, bagi institusi keluarga yang ada maid di rumah, selalunya ibu pandang ringan sikit hal anak2 ini. Seolah2 lepas tangan, semua maid yang buat, even buat susu dan tidurkan anak pun. Sedih jugak bila tengok anak2 ini lebih benyak bergantung dengan maid, serba serbi maid yang uruskan. Bagi I tak salah ada maid, lebih memudahkan kerja, bila pulang ke rumah seharian penat di ofis, kerja2 di rumah dah settle, so ada banyak masa untuk dihabiskan dengan suami dan anak2. Tapi bila segalanya diserah bulat2 kepada maid, apa pulak peranan ibu?

Ketiga, anak2 yang dijaga oleh atuk nenek, samaada dihantar ke kampung atau tinggal berdekatan. Part ni memang selalu buat anak spoilt, jarang sekali nak tengok cucu2 yang atuk nenek jaga ni jadi "orang", walau segarang manapun mereka dengan anak, bila masuk hal cucu, lemah segala sendi, hehehe.

 

I tahu mesti ramai yang tak setuju dengan pandangan I ni, tapi ini laa hakikat, walau kita cuba nafikan, ianya tetap jelas terjadi... Walaupun tak semua orang begini tapi inilah yang kami lihat dalam hampir kesemua institusi keluarga hari ini... Bagi I, tak laa sukar nak jadi "ibubapa" dan tak jugak terlalu mudah. Cuma apa yang buat I pelik ialah bila melihat ada ibubapa yang boleh biarkan hidup anak2 24jam di depan tv, makan entah apa2 ikut sempat, seharian tanpa jadual, mandi dan kebersihan diri yang terabai... Anak2 jadi pengemis kasih sayang, ibubapa keluar bekerja dari pagi hingga malam, macamana laa masyaraka hari ni tak pincang... I pernah dengar ibubapa jenis ni kata, diorang penat2 keluar cari rezeki, anak2 tak boleh demand perhatian yang lebih sebab mereka sedang berkorban. Senang jer kan, masa tak ada anak, sibuk nak anak, bila dah ada, buat2 lupa pulak. Anak tu tak pernah minta pun nak jadi anak kita, kita yang terhegeh2 minta dari Allah nakkan dia... Bila dia lahir, kita buat derk pulak kat dia, ish3...

 

Mengambil peluang untuk menguruskan sendiri perihal anak itu sebenarnya besar implikasinya. Contohnya memandikan anak, memasak sendiri makanan anak, menyuapkan anak, mendidik sahsiah anak dan banyak lagi, semuanya melibatkan hubungan antara seorang ibu dan anak. Mungkin kecil bagi kita tapi sangat besar impaknya buat seorang anak.

 

Sama ada bekerja atau tak, sebenarnya semua ibu mampu menjalankan tanggungjawab masing2. Perlu bijak pengurusan masa, perlu pandai guna peluang, sebab ada jugak kawan2 I yang walaupun bekerja, mereka masih ada masa nak masak untuk suami dan anak, semua hal/urusan rumahtangga diberesi sendiri, bagi I mereka inilah superwomen, supermommy yang hebat dimata anak2...

 

Semoga I nanti tak meletakkan anak2 di tangga yang bawah mengisi priority utama hidup I. Semoga I juga mampu menjadi supermommy...

Get a part time job!

 

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was visiting the Granite State on Wednesday.

  

Bush took questions at a town hall event in Hudson on Wednesday evening after making an unannounced stop at Harvey's Bakery and Coffee Shop in Dover earlier in the day.

 

Bush spoke, surrounded by veterans, at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Hudson -- a popular stop on the primary trail.

 

Bush spoke about New Hampshire's twin energy controversies -- the proposed Kinder Morgan natural gas pipeline in the state's southern tier, as well as the Northern Pass project.

 

"I mean, you guys are struggling to build pipelines and transmission lines, best I can tell," said Bush.

 

One attendee followed up, asking Bush what he knew about the pipeline.

 

"It promises to cut through a number of people's homes and [environmentally protected] land," the questioner said.

 

"There's a trade-off in this, which is how public policy works. The trade-off is how do you balance the economic interests of working-class families with environmental considerations? And those are best sorted out at the state level, not in Washington, DC," said Bush.

 

After the town hall, Bush told News 9 that he won't be taking sides.

 

"I think this should be locally driven," said Bush.

 

Bush also provided additional context to comments he made to the Union Leader editorial board earlier in the day.

 

Controversy began brewing on social media after Bush said that "people need to work longer hours."

 

Bush clarified that he was referring to new overtime rules, which he believes will force people into part-time jobs.

 

"I think people want to work harder, to be able to have more money in their own pockets -- not to be dependent upon government. You can take it out of context all you want, but high, sustained growth means people work 40 hours rather than 30 hours, and that by our success they have money -- disposable income for their families to decide how they want to spend it rather than getting in line," said Bush.

 

Bush also dismissed Donald Trump's criticism of his immigration position, when Trump essentially said that Bush is biased by the fact that his wife is Mexican.

 

"You can love your Mexican-American wife and also believe we need to control the border," said Bush.

 

Bush also had coffee and breakfast with a small crowd at Harvey's Bakery and Coffee Shop earlier in the day, where he said he'll use his leadership skills from his experience in office to change the roles within our government.

 

Bush said that one of the first things he would do in office is reduce federal overreach.

 

"Under this administration, there's been broad overreach in the regulatory powers. We need to bring powers back to states and local communities and that's something the president can do almost immediately,” said Bush.

 

Bush also said he would create a better energy plan for America and re-establish America's leadership internationally.

John Ellis "Jeb" Bush (born February 11, 1953) is an American businessman and politician who served as the 43rd Governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007. He is the second son of former President George H. W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush, and the younger brother of former President George W. Bush.

 

Bush grew up in Houston, Texas. He graduated from the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts and attended the University of Texas, where he earned a degree in Latin American affairs. Following his father's successful run for Vice President in 1980, he moved to Florida and pursued a career in real estate development. In 1986, Bush was named Florida's Secretary of Commerce, a position he held until his resignation in 1988 to help his father's successful campaign for the Presidency.

 

In 1994, Bush made his first run for office, narrowly losing the election for governor by less than two percentage points to the incumbent Lawton Chiles. Bush ran again in 1998 and defeated Lieutenant Governor Buddy MacKay with 55 percent of the vote. He ran for reelection in 2002 and won with 56 percent to become Florida's first two-term Republican governor. During his eight years as governor, Bush was credited with initiating environmental improvements, such as conservation in the Everglades, supporting caps for medical malpractice litigation, moving Medicaid recipients to private systems, and instituting reforms to the state education system, including the issuance of vouchers and promoting school choice.

 

Frequently cited by the media as a possible candidate for president in the 2016 election, Bush announced in mid-December 2014 that he would explore the possibility of running for President. Bush subsequently launched his presidential campaign on June 15, 2015 in Miami, Florida.
