Cooking Hood & Suppression Application Town of Vestal Form

I called CPS when a student came to class tired, hungry, smelling of urine, and in pain. She had been sleeping on the floor of a small apartment with 11 other people and six small dogs who were never taken outside. She had to pick up animal feces from the floor to have a spot to lay down.Nobody sat with her at lunch. She came to my room every day after school, and when I left, she walked home alone. The family had a car but could not afford to fill it with gas.The investigator said the situation was bad, but he had seen worse. Only the most serious cases get immediate attention.Some of us teachers pitched in to buy her a bed. Four people moved out for about a week until the follow up check was complete. Then, the uncles moved back in and the new bed went to a cousin and her kid.It was heartbreaking when I learned that they had to surrender five of their six dogs, and one of the dogs that was taken was my student’s only emotional support at home. So, she had no bed, her dog was gone, and her family was furious with her for exposing their situation and putting them through all that trouble.I have a student living in one motel room with six other family members. He also sleeps on the floor. He wears the same clothes every day, gets teased for being different, and his only meals are the ones he eats at school, usually having dinner from a vending machine.Homework is always a problem, but some get creative. One of my students does her homework on the hood of an old car because there’s no flat surface available in the apartment she shares with 16 others.Several of my students leave school to go to work at home caring for their younger siblings, cooking dinner, cleaning up and getting the little ones to bed. They become exhausted, and doing homework seems overwhelming.A 7th grader of mine missed every third day of school. He and his two brothers took turns staying home to care for their baby sister to avoid daycare costs while mom went to work.I’ve actually had students whose “chore” was to steal in order to support a parent’s drug addiction. They become full of guilt and depression, making it difficult to maintain friendships and good grades.So, poor kids get teased, bullied and excluded because they can look different and smell bad. They have difficulty focusing in class due to hunger and fatigue. They tend to get lower grades because they don’t have the time, the energy or the support they need to do their homework.It becomes a harmful cycle; do poorly in school, have no support system, barely graduate, get a low paying job, have kids, and repeat.Many of these situations have ignited change in order to help the families. Teachers take action with kindness clubs, circle of friends, anti-bullying campaigns, counseling kids. I often eat lunch with kids who don’t have friends and they end up befriending each other.But, no matter how much we intervene, there are still students who torment the kids who are less privileged. They just get sneakier and more anonymous in order to avoid the consequences of their ostracizing.

I live in Germany. I got an invite to the Quora partner program the day I landed in USA for a business trip. So from what I understand, irrespective of the number of views on your answers, there is some additional eligibility criteria for you to even get an email invite.If you read the terms of service, point 1 states:Eligibility. You must be located in the United States to participate in this Program. If you are a Quora employee, you are eligible to participate and earn up to a maximum of $200 USD a month. You also agree to be bound by the Platform Terms (https://www.quora.com/about/tos) as a condition of participation.Again, if you check the FAQ section:How can other people I know .participate?The program is invite-only at this time, but we intend to open it up to more people as time goes on.So my guess is that Quora is currently targeting people based out of USA, who are active on Quora, may or may not be answering questions frequently ( I have not answered questions frequently in the past year or so) and have a certain number of consistent answer views.Edit 1: Thanks to @Anita Scotch, I got to know that the Quora partner program is now available for other countries too. Copying Anuta’s comment here:If you reside in one of the Countries, The Quora Partner Program is active in, you are eligible to participate in the program.” ( I read more will be added, at some point, but here are the countries, currently eligible at this writing,) U.S., Japan, Germany, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy and Australia.11/14/2018Edit 2 : Here is the latest list of countries with 3 new additions eligible for the Quora Partner program:U.S., Japan, Germany, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Australia, Indonesia, India and Brazil.Thanks to Monoswita Rez for informing me about this update.

Fifty years ago, that actually happened to me. The guy who asked me was "Siegfried X," (obviously not his real name!), the best chef in our city. He was earning big bucks and had medals from Haut Cuisine Societies for making the best “this and that.” We had the same girlfriend for a while and that is how I met him. But that’s another story.My first question was, “ Sieg, Are you serious? I make a big fool of myself sometimes, so are you just being sarcastic or funny.”“No,” said Sieg, “I really want to change careers and do what you do.”I replied, “What is it you think I do?”Sieg went on, “I read a story about you in the local rag: Though you are in your twenties, like me; rumor is you already own dozens of properties in town and are said to be a multi-millionaire.”I commented, “OK- Assume that’s true. Still Sieg, you too are at the top of your profession. You have a great reputation and a great future. You are going nowhere but up as a top chef.”Sieg replied: “Yes but I work 12 hours a day , in a hot kitchen, with often underpaid, incompetent employees. You don’t know constant stress until you are a chef. I make a very good living. But you have fun every day, make deals & are filthy rich.”“I want to be like you! You drive around in your Roller (Rolls-Royce), meet interesting people, and seduce beautiful women like “Susan.” Do you really make over a million bucks a year? How about taking me & Susan (our mutual girlfriend) along with you on my days off? WE can learn how to make deals and maybe, take over a few of your reject deals.”To make a long story short, we agreed on a trade. I would work with him in his kitchen one day a week, to learn the secrets of a master chef. Sieg & Susie would accompany me on weekends to learn the “secrets” of areal estate wheeler-dealer.MY EXPERIENCE AS A CHEF:As a result of this deal, I learned, among other cooking things, that when you make soup and want to serve it the next day, you must always drain the liquid and keep the veggies, noodles, & fish or meat separate and semi-dry.SIEGFRIED BECOMES A REAL ESTATE TYCOON:Sieg learned that I started my day very early mapping out a plan to visit at least two dozen properties daily - properties in good locations that were, or I thought might be for sale at distress prices. I also would locate the owners of probate (estates) abandoned, foreclosed, or litigated deals - as in divorce. I seldom looked at broker’s listings. Why? The broker’s themselves took all the best deals and listed only overpriced stuff. Needless to say, there were always exceptions.Persistence was the key. I followed up on every potential deal with as many as a hundred calls or personal visits. The initial asking price was seldom near the agreed final closing price. Financing was the key!I made immediate oral offers of half the market value “all cash - as is- good for 12 hours only” on every property I saw. That was to prevent the seller from shopping my low-ball offer to a lot of other buyers. If he accepted more than 12 hours later, I reduced my offer by 10%. I got around 4% acceptance on all my offers. Note: You have to do a lot of fishing if you want to catch a lot of fish.Financing varied. Sometimes with an unsecured line of credit, arranged with the understanding that the lender would lend me more - usually a mortgage of 65% of value. The strategy was, typically, to buy a property worth $100,000 for $50,000 with a down payment from (unsecured) borrowed money. Eventually, my own bankroll covered the minimal security deposit—usually $10k. A lender would often lend me $65,000. Thus, I could walk away with $15,000 cash and a potential capital gain of $50,000 every time I closed a deal. Please understand, that this is an example.Every single deal was different – often with the seller carrying back a 2nd mortgage, which gave extra cash in my pocket. The theory was the same on all deals; buy with no money down, and a long-term loan of more than the purchase price. Mortgage was to be paid off entirely from rental income. You want to learn from a role model? It is never magic or osmosis. You pay attention & you “get it.” Or you don’t.If you did only one of these deals every day, seven days a week, it is easy to see how your cash bankroll would grow by an average of $20,000 a day, seven days a week, and your net worth in terms of property owned would grow by at least $50,000 per day.As your stature in the business grows, you’ll get many unsolicited deals offered to you. You may find 1000 acres of land at $5000 an acre, subdivide and sell it “retail” as four $250,000 lots per acre. Nice profits if you can create value this way. Do the math: 4000 X 250,000 = $1,000,000,000 - Or you could buy hotels or apartment buildings at wholesale and sell off the apartments or hotel rooms retail, at twice what you paid, as condos.Want more details? Read a book called “Think Like A Tycoon.” It was a best selling paperback for a while, forty years ago. I saw it listed on Amazon for only $2- used. For a bit more, I think you can get a new updated copy in print or digital from Eden Press or from me directly.The bottom line? What happened with Sieg & Susan?After one month with me, Sieg quit his job as a chef . He went into real estate on his own, using my techniques. The way we did things was not unique. All the time-tested tricks of the trade still work, with minor variations to fit the times and take advantage of new laws.Many other individuals built up vast fortunes in real estate doing almost exactly what we did:What’s that? Looking for good deals, thinking up new projects to fill needs and guiding them to fruition. Using other people’s (borrowed) money. Making things happen in spite of bureaucratic interference, lawsuits, and many other frustrations.MORE MONEY HAS BEEN MADE IN REAL ESTATE THAN IN ALL OTHER INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES COMBINED.You don’t hear of too many real estate tycoons who made it big. Why? Because most of us prefer to be anonymous & low profile. We don’t want publicity to get targeted by all and sundry scammers. Be on the rich guy lists of Forbes and you’ll have no benefits — nothing but trouble.THE END?A mere fifty years later, Sieg and Susie have been happily married (with kids) for years. They are one of the wealthiest couples in the USA. Net worth? More than you’d believe. They are in the upper 1% of the upper 1%.If they could do it, so can you. No role model? Read the books on the subject.And now for my usual sign off: As an 80 year old guy who has “everything,” the only thing I don’t have yet is that ultimate status symbol, the Quora Sweat Shirt. So if you liked this piece, read my other (Peter Taradash) stuff on Quora. Then please, give me a few up-votes so those Quora demi-Gods out there in cyberspace may deem my humble scribbles valuable enough to warrant awarding me their swell sweat shirt, with hood.

NOOOOOOO. You are talking to a military romance scammer. I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does provide all the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave. Trust me, I lived it, you are probably being scammed. I am just trying to show you examples that you are most likely being connned.Below is an email response I received after I sent an inquiry to the US government when I discovered I was scammed. I received this wonderful response back with lots of useful links on how to find and report your scammer. And how to learn more about Romance Scams.Right now you can also copy the picture he gave you and do a google image search and you will hopefully see the pictures of the real person he is impersonating. this doesn't always work and take some digging. if you find the real person you can direct message them and alert them that their image is being used for scamming.Good Luck to you and I'm sorry this may be happening to you. please continue reading the government response I received below it's very informative.   You have contacted an email that is monitored by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command.

By doing. You can learn a lot by reading cookbooks, watching web videos,  Food Network shows and friends, but the only way to actually get good is to practice. Start out by choosing simple recipes that focus on ingredients you like, and to master it, make it at least three times in a short period. You'll start to pick up the subtle variations that chopping methods, temperature, ingredients and even mixing can make in the final product. Favorite tools: Good knives - forget the block, you only really need three to get started; a 7-8" chef's knife, a paring/utility knife and a serrated/bread knife. Hone/sharpen frequently. And invest in a good cutting board, as poor ones will dull your knives. I like Shun knives and the Epicurian self-healing cutting board line.Cookware - After several rounds with the cheap stuff, I'm an All Clad stainless fan, but it's a pricey investment. Stainless is better for searing meats but requires more upkeep. Having an 8-10" nonstick pan and a dutch oven are also useful.Blending device - Whether it's a mini prep, blender or food processor, having one on hand is key to making sauces.If you're on a budget, Mark Bittman has great tips to equip your kitchen for $300: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/0...Good beginner cookbooks: Chez Panisse Vegetables - Alice Waters is all about simplicity and natural flavors; very user-friendlyAnything by Mark Bittman - Cookbooks and iPad app are great, and his column in the NYTimes is an excellent resource and features short instructional videos.Cook with Jamie Oliver - simple recipes and features tips on choosing ingredients, selecting and preparing meat properly and seasoningThe internet: so many recipes are available for free via Food & Wine online, Gourmet, NYTimes, Foodnetwork.com and the bevy of food blogs that buying large stacks of cookbooks is increasingly unnecessary. If you have an iPad, save each recipe in the Paprika app to create your own personalized version. Consumer-generated recipes usually also have more tips and tricks than the pro versions.My favorite instructional cooking show is Cook Like an Iron Chef featuring Michael Symon. No fluff; it's short, to the point and he manages to sprinkle in a lot of highly useful tactical tips.

I see that you, OP, have received several answers the writers of which tell you that 0℉ is not a reason to stay indoors. Which I agree with.But I would like to approach your question from a practical perspective: first how to keep warm in 0℉, and then how to spend time inside.0℉ can really be too much for a 7-year-old child (as you specify in your comments), if the child is not dressed for very low temperatures.It can be done, but there is no way to know how if you are not used to manage those kind of temperatures (or if your child doesn’t have appropriate clothes because it never gets that cold where you live!).I’m a mother of two kids from Helsinki, Finland. Our winters are usually milder than 0℉, but most winters we have at least a couple of days like that.And our children go out happily in that weather, too, every day, at least for one hour at a time. The key is to wear several layers.This is how our local daycare centres advise us:Please note that the temperatures are in Celsius; 0℉ means -18℃.To keep warm your child needs to wear (at least) two layers of clothes under the warm winter clothes, preferably woolen or the kind. Cotton clothes and one layer of wool may not be enough, even if the winter overalls are warm (e.g. down or fur).The toes and the fingers get very easily cold, so the child should have at least two pairs of woolen mittens, one on top of the other, or fur mittens (or synthetic mittens that insulate cold effectively). They should also have at the very least one pair of woolen socks in their winter shoes, preferably two pairs. That means the shoes have to be big enough for the child to still be able to move their toes.What I always did when my kids were smaller and needed to stay warm for 1–2 hours in that kind of weather was that I dressed them in two layers of wool, a warm woolen hat, two pairs of woolen mittens and socks, felt boots, and two scarfs, one of them under the winter overalls, then the hood of the overalls on top of the inner scarf and the woolen hat, and the other woolen scarf on top of the hood, so that wind wouldn’t make them cold in the face. (That’s what I like to wear myself, too.)It’s also worth saying that wind can make the temperature feel much colder. Like this:But at least if it’s not windy, it’s possible to get children to love to go out also in 0℉, provided that they are dressed accordingly.If, however, you have these kind of temperatures extremely seldom, I understand it’s perhaps not tempting to buy the extra clothes that it takes to overcome the cold. Here in Helsinki we have traditionally had very few truly hot days per year, so we are reluctant to invest in air conditioning, so I understand you have to prioritize.In addition, children grow fast, and the winter clothes you buy now might not fit next year.That’s why I will try to finally answer your question about how to make time pass when you can’t go out.Bake biscuits.Buy biscuits and icing. Let the child decorate the biscuits.Cook together.Write a story with no adjectives. Let the child invent funny adjectives, fill them in, and read the story aloud.Take a ball of yarn, tie the end in a box with a surprise inside it, and unravel the ball at your home, walking from room to room, making the yarn go under chairs and tables, until you have used all the yarn. Let the child find the treasure with the help of the yarn.Read aloud.Tell stories with the child one sentence at a time, taking turns.Draw the child’s profile on a paper with the help of a bright lamp.Draw labyrinths and ask the child to draw their way out without touching the lines.Make origami.Make paper snowflakes.Best wishes from Helsinki!
