In the end, our ISLA instructors and participants rose to the challenge, and the government established a national rescue unit comprised of various military and public safety personnel. The Ghana National Aquatic Rescue Unit (GNARU) was born!

Paul Street once again points out the obvious about our 'two party system' – it simply doesn't work for the country.

Fwd: Russia-gate one year later

From: John H

I just received this post from Consortiumnews.com and I believe that it is too important not to send right out.  It may well attack some of your preconceptions, but I urge you to read it in full.  The danger we face as a nation because of our willingness to accept 'evidence free' charges of wrongdoing just because they are widely repeated in the establishment media endangers all of us in many different ways.  It should be an axiom of any thinking person to at least question received wisdom when no evidence is presented in support of its validity – and in this case no evidence has been presented in support of the government's assertions; while counter-evidence has been presented which renders these assertions to be impossible as presented.

Morgan Bergren is 24 and a Professional Volleyball Player for VC Wiesbaden. She is a graduate of the University of Kentucky. Her third year of professional volleyball she adopted a minimalist lifestyle. "When I come home I am overwhelmed by all of the material things I have accumulated over the years. Getting to travel with only two suitcases has helped me appreciate a more minimalistic lifestyle. I'm still growing and learning exactly what that means for me, but I do know I would rather collect more memories than more stuff. I'm currently working to apply this approach to more areas of my life, and to just keep it simple by loving God and loving others" 3:14- What is mental toughness to Morgan? 5:30- The conversation you have to have with yourself. 6:30- Mental toughness as a team component. 9:07- The unknown of a new team. 10:32- Morgan's faith and how it guides her 12:37- AO1. Why this saying changed Morgan's game for the better. 14:23- Morgan's #HINGE moment. 17:33- Why faith found Morgan in college. 21:22- Knowing your WANTS vs your NEEDS. 24:30- Decluttering your brain. 32:40- Why is it easier to help out a teammate and not ourselves? 33:55- The one thing Morgan says we can do to improve our Mental Toughness.

Subject: THANK YOU 

Together we are committing to our kids!

View this email in your browser Together we are making history! You stepped up. You raised your voice. You made a commitment to our kids.   You didn't just whisper, you roared. Which is why on Tuesday we turned in 63,499 signatures petitioning the Allegheny County Board of Elections to add the Allegheny County Children's Fund to the Nov. 8, 2018 General Election ballot.   You read that correctly. Our goal was to collect 40,000 signatures, but nearly 64,000 of our community members took the question seriously and were open to having this dialogue about early learning, after school, nutrition and our future.   We are incredibly grateful for your commitment to our kids.   The 63,499 signatures came not only from all 130 municipalities but from each and every one of the 1,322 voting precincts in Allegheny County. More than 200 people collected signatures from friends, family and neighbors, and notaries helped us get the petitions finalized to submit.   Thank you to all of you who signed, spread the word, circulated petitions and showed your support! This is just the beginning, but we are one step closer to creating an even brighter future for all kids in Allegheny County.   Until we receive the official word from the Election Board that the question is on the November ballot (and you can believe we'll let you know as soon as we do), please continue to spread the word about having this conversation about our kids and investing in our region.   For more ways to get involved, visit www.ourkidsourcommitment.org.    MOVING OUR REGION FORWARD PUMP's Advocacy + Public Policy Agenda Read and Endorse   Thank you to our sponsor!
