Full transcription available at http://heartsofgoldpodcast.com/  Savannah, a dedicated Girl Scout who shared her journey of earning the prestigious Girl Scout Gold Award. Savannah's project focused on improving the trails at her local animal shelter. She identified the need for better-marked trails to help volunteers and visitors navigate the area more easily. Her project involved cleaning up existing trails, adding new ones, naming them, and creating a detailed map with mileage information. She also developed a pamphlet for new volunteers to help them understand the shelter's rules and how they can contribute. One of the unique aspects of Savannah's project was the creation of color-coded signs for the trails. Despite some challenges with the durability of the materials, she learned valuable lessons about project management and material selection. Savannah's dedication to her project, even while juggling a busy high school schedule, is truly commendable. Savannah also shared her experiences with time management, the importance of teamwork, and the support she received from her family, friends, and fellow scouts. She emphasized the significance of the global link in the Gold Award process, connecting her project to broader issues like volunteerism and health. In addition to her Gold Award project, Savannah continues to support her Girl Scout troop, helping younger members with their own awards and serving as a role model. She is currently a sophomore at Austin Peay State University, studying engineering technology with a concentration in mechatronics, and is actively involved in various roles on campus. Savannah's story is a testament to the impact of the Girl Scout Gold Award and the importance of perseverance, planning, and community support.    More About Savannah: Savannah has been a Girl Scout since she was in the second grade. Her mom became her troop leader when she was a first-year junior. Savannah earned her Silver Award in 2019. She is the first Girl Scout from her service unit to earn her Gold Award in 11 years and is the fourth Girl Scout to age out from her service unit within the same amount of time. As a senior in high school, she was part of many clubs but still found time to complete her Gold Award and lead the Girl Scout Seniors in earning badges. During the fall of 2023, she was a leader to the Brownies. Now, Savannah is mentoring the different age groups through their courses of earning the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards. When she had her last badge ceremony as a Girl Scout, her troop surprised her with a lifetime membership. This summer, Savannah is working as a nature counselor at Camp Sycamore Hills. She is attending Austin Peay State University and pursuing her bachelor's degree in engineering technology with a concentration in Mechatronics. At the university, she is also a writing tutor and a lab assistant for the engineering technology department.   Key Takeaways from this episode: Importance of Time Management: Savannah highlighted the challenge of time management during her Gold Award project, especially while juggling multiple responsibilities in high school. She emphasized the need to write everything down to keep track of hours and tasks effectively. Teamwork and Collaboration: Savannah's project involved a team effort, including volunteers, family, friends, and even Boy Scouts. The collaboration and support from her team members were crucial in successfully completing the project. Continuous Improvement and Adaptation: Despite facing challenges with the signage for the trails, Savannah remained resilient and open to feedback. She iterated on the design based on input from the animal shelter, demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement and adaptation in her project. Share this show with your friends on Twitter.

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Patrick O'Donovan TD, today announced 419 primary schools nationwide have been awarded the SFI Curious Minds Award 2024. Led by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), the programme aims to increase interest in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) among primary school students, parents, and teachers nationwide in a fun, engaging way. Announcing the 2024 Curious Minds Awards at a visit to Kilbehenny National School, Knockrour, Kilbehenny, Co. Limerick (Platinum award-winners), Minister O'Donovan said: "I am delighted to announce the winners of this year's SFI Curious Minds Awards. Congratulations to all involved - your individual and collective dedication and effort has paid off! Curiosity about science provides the building blocks to explore new ideas, increase knowledge and even unearth discoveries. I want to thank the schools and teachers who have facilitated such enthusiastic and productive participation among their students." The SFI Curious Minds Awards celebrate and recognise the participation of schools in hands-on, inquiry-based learning in STEM. Since launching twenty years ago, the programme has seen students exploring a wide range of STEM activities, from investigating renewable energy, egg drop challenges, growing vegetables, launching rockets, mini-beast hunts, learning about materials and maths through baking, design and make challenges, marble runs, enhancing their technology skills through coding, and using STEM to solve everyday problems. The Awards offer three categories for applicants: The Silver Award is aimed at schools starting out on the STEM journey and involves a minimum of two classes. The Gold Award, which is for schools further along their STEM journey, involves at least half of the classes in the school. The Platinum Award is for schools that have already achieved the Gold Award and want to challenge themselves to further integrate STEM into the school culture. This year, 47 schools received the Silver Award, 346 schools achieved the Gold Award, and 26 schools accomplished the Platinum Award. The schools' achievements were celebrated in classrooms across the country during a virtual SFI Curious Minds Awards Ceremony held this morning, Friday, 14 June 2024. TV presenters Gráinne Bleasdale and Phil Smyth hosted a live-streamed event, which featured a number of exciting experiments. Commenting on the awards, Dr Ruth Freeman, Director of Science for Society at SFI, said: "The SFI Curious Minds Awards are a true highlight of the year and reward the active and ongoing involvement of thousands of pupils nationwide in STEM-related activities. The winners' interest in STEM inspires other pupils - both younger and older - to get and stay curious, all of which helps to build a culture and community of exploration and learning." The SFI Curious Minds programme supplies tools to empower schools in teaching science, technology, engineering and Maths, allowing teachers to spark fun and curiosity both inside and outside the classroom. SFI, in conjunction with the European Space Education Resource Office (ESERO), offers free continuous professional development (CPD) in STEM for primary school teachers, as well as curriculum-linked STEM classroom resources. The programme explores STEM topics through inquiry-based learning. The programme also offers a varied selection of Department of Education-approved summer courses with partners like ESERO Ireland, MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory and Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). Applicants who complete a summer course will be eligible for EPV days. Registration for the 2024/2025 Academic Year SFI Curious Minds Awards will open in September 2024. Registration for the CPD courses for 2024/2025 are open now. For more information on the SFI Curious Minds programme, please visit www.curiousminds.ie or contact the team on curiousminds@sfi.ie.

Partnering with her local Humane Society, HAWS, she contributed to their Project Guardian initiative by building weather-resistant cat shelters and creating an educational video presentation on the causes and effects of cat overpopulation. Valerie shared her journey, from her initial inspiration driven by her love for animals to the challenges she faced, particularly with the technological aspects of her project. She emphasized the importance of communication and leadership, skills she honed throughout her project. Valerie also highlighted the support she received from her project advisors, her troop, and her family, which was instrumental in her success. We delved into her favorite memories, including building the shelters with her troop and the satisfaction of seeing her project come to fruition. Valerie also offered valuable advice for other Girl Scouts considering their Gold Award, encouraging them to take the leap and reassuring them of the support available throughout the process. Currently studying mass communications with an emphasis on public relations at Winona State University, Valerie aspires to work for an organization that positively impacts the community, potentially even Girl Scouts. More About Valerie: Valerie has been a part of Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast since 1st grade. Her troop created birdhouses for the Chinook Program Center for their Bronze Award and organized a community game night at their middle school to collect supplies and raise awareness for veterans for their Silver Award.

Isabel has been in Girl Scouts since kindergarten. Isabel and her troop have plans to stay together with her friends until they graduate from High School. They are saving all their cookies and fall products proceeds for a cruise in 2027. Some of Isabel's best memories in Girl Scouting were the photo booth they had at their Bronze Award Community Pet Care Fair, doing a baking class over zoom during COVID, and going to Universal and Savannah with her troop. Scouting has given her plenty of memories to share with others like camping in the low 30's in the treehouses at Indian Echo, attending the National Girl Scout Convention in Orlando where she met scouts from all over the World, all the fun they had renovating the Heritage Room for the Marines as part of their Silver Award, and many more. Through Girl Scouts, Isabel has been able to travel too… Last summer she went to Tallahassee, Helen, and Savannah Georgia, and Asheville North Carolina. After this spring break she'll be going to India; she can't wait for that trip. Besides Girl Scouts, she's also an active member of BSA. With them, she gets to camp every month and try outdoor activities like canoeing, tubing, outdoor cooking, hiking, etc. She also gets to meet scouts from other schools and try other things. Isabel's plans include attending college to pursue a STEM career like engineering. This summer she will attend a summer program training that would help her not only explore college campuses but also determine which type of engineering she likes. https://sites.google.com/view/isabels-gold-award-project/home?fbclid=IwAR3pDi5HySifOcCznVQ86bCkCCQWafI876v9O6Y5WtS-mQargrE8LT-k2RM Key Takeaways from this episode: 1.

Mary Beth O'Connor joins David Clemen to discuss her journey from Junkie to Judge and all things along the way. Thank you for listening! https://www.amazon.com/Junkie-Judge-Womans-Triumph-Addiction/dp/0757324568/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XI3KL9 She is on Twitter as well: https://twitter.com/MaryBethO_ From a junkie addicted to methamphetamines to a federal judge, Mary Beth O'Connor's memoir shares her inspiring journey from rock bottom to resilience as she forged a personal path to recovery from trauma and addiction.Silver Award, 2023 Nonfiction Book AwardsSearing, unsettling, and ultimately triumphant, Judge O'Connor's debut memoir takes readers on a wild ride through the rock-bottom underbelly of intravenous drug addiction to the hallowed halls of justice where she rose to the pinnacle of success as a federal judge.With wit and unabashed honesty, O'Connor shares her remarkable three-phase journey: the abuse and trauma that drove her to teenage drug use, the chaos that ensued from her addiction; and how she developed a personalized secular recovery plan that led to twenty-nine years of sobriety. Her story proves any addict can recover and anyone can build a productive and happy life, no matter how low the bottom or how deep the pain.Within a week of being born, O'Connor was dropped off at a convent. When she was brought into her home, her mother focused on her own needs and desires, ignoring her young child. When she was nine, her stepfather kicked her in the stomach for spilling milk, beat her when she didn't clean a plate to his satisfaction, and molested her when she was twelve. A few months later, with her first sip of Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill wine, her life changed. She felt euphoric and relaxed. So she got drunk as often as possible, adding pot, then pills, then acid. At sixteen, she found her drug of choice--methamphetamine. With her first snort, she experienced true joy for the first time. When this high was no longer sufficient, she turned to the needle and shot up.During the next sixteen years, she descended into a severe meth addiction, working her way down the corporate ladder, destroying relationships, and shattering her physical and emotional well-being.At thirty-two, she entered rehab, where she was ordered to submit to the 12-steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. As an atheist, turning her will and her life over to a higher power was not an option, and she refused to agree she was powerless. Told to comply or fail, she bravely created a new path that combined ideas from multiple programs and even incorporated some AA concepts.Clean and sober now for more nearly three decades, she is proof that anyone can find their sober self, their best self, no matter how far they have fallen. Along with her inspiring story, she offers a comprehensive checklist of questions for readers to ask themselves as they take the brave steps toward recovery, offering a powerful blueprint for personal change. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/recoverynuggetspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/recoverynuggetspodcast/support

Glass Knitting by Carol Milne A pioneer in the field of knitted glass, Carol Milne combines passion for knitting with experience in sculpture. The artist began working with kiln cast lead crystal, experimenting with different methods and developing a lost wax process to cast individual knitted works into glass. Playing with translucency and the material's ability to highlight a prismatic range of hues, light is essential to Milne's body of work, and she has recently been working on pieces that focus on illumination. States Milne: “I see my knitted work as metaphor for social structure. Individual strands are weak and brittle on their own, but deceptively strong when bound together. You can crack or break single threads without the whole structure falling apart. And even when the structure is broken, pieces remain bound together. The connections are what bring strength and integrity to the whole and what keep it intact.” Receiving a degree in landscape architecture from the University of Guelph, Canada, in 1985, Milne realized in her senior year that she was more interested in sculpture than landscape. After casting iron around glass in graduate school, she experimented with many materials: clay, bronze, concrete, wood, glass, epoxy, fiberglass, mosaic and found objects. In 2000, she returned to glass and has been working primarily with the material ever since.   In 2006, Milne created her Knitted Glass, incorporating the techniques of knitting, lost wax casting, mold making and kiln casting. Her unique process involves knitting the original art piece using wax strands, surrounding the wax with a heat-tolerant refractory material, removing the wax by melting it out, thus creating a mold; and placing the mold in a kiln where lead crystal frit is heated to 1530 degrees F, melting the glass into the mold. After it has cooled, the mold material is removed to reveal the finished piece within. Collected internationally, Milne's work garnered the Silver Award at the International Exhibition of Glass, Kanazawa, Japan; the Juror's award, All Things Considered 9: Basketry in the 21st Century, National Basketry Organization; Special Citation and Honorable Mention, the 9th Cheongju International Craft Juried Competition, Cheongju, Republic of Korea; the Joan Eliot Sappington Award for On the Fringe: Today's Twist on Fiber Art, Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts; and Honorable Mention purchase award, Art of Our Century, UVU Woodbury Art Museum, Orem, UT.. Recent exhibitions include Carol Milne: Knit Wit, Bainbridge Island Museum of Art in 2019; Vogue Knitting LIVE! Seattle, Meydenbauer Center, Bellevue, WA; and Carol Milne: Knitting Glass, Schiepers Gallery, Hasselt, Belgium, both in 2017. Milne's collectors include Amazon Headquarters, Seattle, WA; Asheville Art Museum, Asheville, NC; Fuller Craft Museum, Brockton, MA; Glasmuseum Lette, Coesfeld, Germany; The Glass Furnace, Istanbul, Turkey; Gustav Selter GmbH & Co KG, Germany; The Kamm Teapot Foundation, Sparta, NC; MusVerre Nord, Sars Poteries, France; Notojima Glass Art Museum, Ishikawa, Japan; and UVU Woodbury Art Museum, Orem, UT. She has published three e-books: In the Name of Love; Knitted Glass: Kiln-cast Lead Crystal Bowls; and Glass Slippers. Carol Milne Knitted Glass: How Does She Do That?, authored by Steve Isaacson, is available as an e-book and in paperback Through her original work in knitted glass, Milne has blazed a new artistic path. Bringing the visual illusion of softness and drape to a material that is fixed in its final form, her work encourages closer inspection to reveal the nuances of her designs.  Says Milne: “I've knitted since I was 10, but knitting wasn't a career path – or at least it didn't seem like one. I studied landscape architecture as a bridge between engineering and design. But I became captivated by earthworks and kinetic art, which lead me to sculpture. Glass is very much like kinetic sculpture, since it changes with the light.” Through different bodies of work – socks, shoes, baskets, hands knitting themselves – Milne addresses themes including the circle of life, the disconnect between appearance versus reality, black humor and visual puns. If the work wasn't challenging, she says, she would get bored and quit making it. “But in working with glass, scale is the biggest challenge. Large work requires large molds. Large molds are difficult to make, and heavy to move once they're made,” explains Milne. This month, Milne will have an open studio during REFRACT: The Seattle Glass Experience, October 14 from 11 to 4 p.m. She will exhibit a new body of work in an upcoming solo show, Knotty and Nice, at Culture Object gallery in NYC. An opening reception will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on October 18. Three of her Grenade pieces are on view in an ongoing group show called Like Mother, now through November 2 at the Helen S. Smith Gallery at Green River College, Washington. Milne will teach Knitted Glass from November 4 to 6 and 10 and Casting Hands, November 8 to 9 at Milkweed Arts, Phoenix, Arizona. In 2024, she will exhibit at the Gala Opening of Chasen Gallery's new location at The Mark in Sarasota, FL, on January 20 and participate in Blue Spiral 1 Gallery's Glass Invitational, November 2 – December 25, 2024 in Asheville, NC.

In this episode of "After the Affair," host I am joined by guest Faust Ruggiero to discuss the importance of accountability and personal growth after a breakup. We delve into the complexities of relationships, infidelity, and the impact on our sense of identity. Join us as we explore practical strategies for moving forward and finding internal strength to create a fulfilling and empowered life. Faust A.

Food shopping, cooking and eating together means so much more than meets the eye---in the process you are creating food memories that can comfort and guide you throughout your life. I am revisiting some of my best episodes in my Allstar Summer Series, featuring beloved TV food icons. In this episode the remarkable Lidia Bastianich talks about why creating healthy food memories is so important to her, and how you can cultivate them for yourself and your loved ones. Lidia Bastianich is an Emmy award-winning public television host, best‐selling cookbook author, successful restaurateur, and owner of a flourishing food and entertainment business. Most importantly, she has accomplished all of this by marrying her two passions in life—her family and food—to create multiple culinary endeavors alongside her two children, Joseph and Tanya.  Her most recent book is Lidia's A Pot, A Pan, and a Bowl, a companion to her new 26-part public television series, Lidia's Kitchen. She is also the author of the English and Italian version of her memoir: My American Dream: A Life of Love, Family, and Food. Lidia's cooking shows air nationwide in the U.S. on public television and CREATE, internationally, and on various digital networks. Among the numerous awards and accolades Lidia has earned are seven James Beard awards and two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Culinary Host (2013 and 2018).  In 2022 Lidia received the Silver Award from APT for 25 years on Public Television. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's episode we dive deep into the inspiring journey of two Westborough Girl Scouts, Ava + Elise, on their quest to earn the prestigious Silver Award. They chose to put over 50 hours of work into a research and service project in which they taught their peers the value and practical application of situational awareness, self-defense and women's empowerment. Empowered RX served as the advisor and supervision for this project and helped to teach them the Empowered 5: 5 Simple Self-Defense Drills that Could Save your life. While each of these young girls came with a unique background and history, they had many things in common including the desire to help protect and empower their peers. Tune in to hear all about Elise and Ava's journey achieving their Silver Award and providing skills to their fellow Girl Scouts on how to fight back.

Full transcription available at http://heartsofgoldpodcast.com/ In this episode of Hearts of Gold, Lakshanya talks about her Girl Scout Gold Award project, which focuses on inspiring young children to navigate through media effectively. Lakshanya created a curriculum where she presented information to schools in India, her local community, and her high school. She provided tips and tricks on how to safely navigate through the internet and social media by having a Q&A session with the students. Lakshanya's project aims to protect the next generation from negative effects and provide children with the necessary skills to safely navigate through media. More from Lakshanya: I have been a Girl Scout since I was in Kindergarten and if it's one thing I learned it's that Samoas and Thin Mints are the superior cookies... I'm kidding. Girl Scouts has taught me that you need resilience and creativity, not just one or the other(especially when it comes to selling cookies), but it has also shown the power of being a woman. I have completed the Silver Award and met some of my best friends while doing the project! I also participate in science fairs, am the vice president of the Speech and Debate club at my school, the founder of the Women in Science Club at my high school, lead for Student Government, and have participated in track and field for 5 years. In the future, I hope to become an MD PhD and use the leadership skills that I have learned to help others succeed in the process! Website link: https://rajaganapathilaksh.wixsite.com/my-site-1/blog Key points from the episode: Media literacy for young children. In today's world, media is everywhere. From television to social media, it is difficult to escape the constant barrage of information. For young children, this can be overwhelming and confusing. That is why media literacy is so important. Media literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media in a variety of forms. It is a crucial skill that can help children navigate the complex world of media. Lakshanya, a Girl Scout, recognized the importance of media literacy and decided to make it the focus of her Gold Award project. Her project aimed to inspire young children, specifically elementary schoolers and high schoolers, on effective ways to navigate through media. Lakshanya created a curriculum that she presented to schools in India, her local community, and at her high school. Instead of a traditional presentation, she opted for a Q&A format that made the students feel like they were getting advice from a peer. For elementary schoolers, Lakshanya used an analogy to help them understand the importance of media literacy. She asked them if they ever saw a bright packaging at the store and wanted to buy it just because of the packaging. She then compared this to the colorful pictures and videos on YouTube that may not be safe. For high schoolers, Lakshanya talked about the negative effects of social media, like catfishing attempts and cyberbullying. Lakshanya's project had a significant impact on the students she presented to. She realized that many students did not know about the negative sides of social media and were not aware of the importance of media literacy. In addition to her presentations, Lakshanya also created a website that allows students to reflect on situations that have happened, give advice, and provide videos on further media literacy. Lakshanya's project is an excellent example of the importance of media literacy for young children. It is crucial to teach children how to navigate through media safely and effectively. With the constant barrage of information that children face, media literacy is a crucial skill that can help them make informed decisions and avoid negative consequences. By teaching children media literacy, we can help them become responsible and informed media consumers. Social media can harm. During her sessions with elementary school students, Lakshanya was surprised to find that many of them did not understand the impact of social media. They saw it as a tool for being cool and scrolling through content, but did not realize the potential harm it could cause. Lakshanya explained to them how one word on Instagram or Snapchat could flip someone's world upside down. She also taught them tips and tricks on how to stay safe online, such as checking with parents before watching videos on YouTube. The biggest challenge Lakshanya faced during her project was getting students to attend her sessions. However, she overcame this by offering incentives to engage them and make the sessions more fun. Her efforts paid off, as attendance increased from three to twenty students. Through her project, Lakshanya learned that many young people are not actively thinking about their actions on social media and the potential harm it can cause. By teaching media literacy, she hopes to change this and create a more informed and responsible generation of media consumers. Lakshanya's favorite part of the project was talking to elementary school students and hearing their tips and tricks on how to stay safe online. She also created a Media Literacy Council in her school and community to spread awareness and promote media literacy. Additionally, she conducted a session in India, where media literacy is not typically included in the curriculum. By teaching children in India about media literacy, Lakshanya hopes to make a positive impact on their lives and help them become responsible media consumers. Ask for help, fulfill dreams. Lakshanya's success was not achieved alone. Throughout her project, she had a team of supporters who helped her along the way. Her grandpa and aunt provided her with a store to collect donations and her cousins in India helped her make custom pens and pencils. Additionally, her parents, media teacher, principal, and ninth-grade English teacher all played a significant role in supporting her project. Without their support, Lakshana's project may not have been as successful as it was. Lakshanya's project also taught her valuable lessons about the Girl Scout Gold Award process. She learned how to balance her time between schoolwork and the project and how to focus on sessions that would be most impactful for the students. She also learned the importance of setting goals and staying focused on them. Although she initially wanted to create a website and go international, she realized that focusing on her community and conducting a session in India would have a more significant impact. One of the most important lessons Lakshanya learned was not to be afraid to ask for help. Throughout her project, she received tremendous support from her team of supporters, who were all passionate and helpful. Asking for help allowed her to complete her project successfully and fulfill her dreams of promoting media literacy in her community and in India. Believe in yourself and adventure. The podcast episode featuring Lakshanya highlights the importance of believing in oneself and embracing adventure. Throughout her Girl Scout journey, Lakshanya has experienced countless adventures, from camping trips to science experiments. She credits Girl Scouts with opening her eyes to the endless possibilities available to girls and women, including fields such as science, architecture, and coding. Lakshanya's journey culminated in the completion of her Girl Scout Gold Award project, which focused on promoting media literacy among children. Through her project, she emphasized the importance of being a responsible media consumer and seeking help when needed. Lakshanya's project serves as an inspiration to all of us, reminding us of the power of asking for help and promoting media literacy in our communities. Looking towards the future, Lakshanya is excited for the adventure that lies ahead. As she pursues her dream of becoming a doctor and helping others, she hopes to continue empowering and inspiring those around her. She encourages others to believe in themselves and to embrace the adventure that life has to offer. Lakshanya's story serves as a reminder of the importance of believing in oneself and embracing adventure. Whether it's through Girl Scouts or pursuing our dreams, we should all strive to push ourselves outside of our comfort zones and embrace the unknown. Share this show with your friends on Twitter.

Full transcription available at http://heartsofgoldpodcast.com/ In this episode of the Hearts of Gold podcast, Rebekkah shares about her Girl Scout Gold Award project called "Through the Eyes". She explains that it was an immersive experience aimed at all ages and backgrounds to teach about several eye conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and amblyopia. Rebekkah created a sensory board with a Braille alphabet, simulation glasses, and a hands-on Braille activity with a muffin tin and balls. She added a UV lamp and QR codes for sustainability and global impact. The project was inspired by Rebekkah 's personal struggles with her vision. More from Rebekka: My name is Rebekkah. I am a 17 year old, Adult Girl Scout. More importantly, I am also a 3-time high award recipient. I have been in Girl Scouts for 12 years. I joined as a daisy and have aged out. I have sold thousands of boxes of cookies and have hundreds of hours of community service. Girl Scouts has allowed me to learn perseverance, make lifelong friends, kindness, and how to be a sister to every girl scout. I plan on attending Georgia Southern University starting Fall of 2023 and majoring in psychology. I would love to become a trauma therapist for the youth or an autism specialist. https://rebekkahgold.weebly.com/ https://www.instagram.com/rebekkah.go.gold/ https://ms-my.facebook.com/RebekkahGoGold/ Key points from the episode: Make a Difference Through Service. The importance of service is often overlooked, but it can have a huge impact on people's lives. For example, Rebekkah, a Girl Scout, used her Gold Award project to make a difference in her community. Through her project, "Through the Eyes," Rebekkah created an immersive experience to raise awareness about visual impairments. Rebekkah was inspired to create her project after struggling with her own visual impairments. She was born with amblyopia and strabismus and later suffered a horrific eye infection that caused her vision to decrease significantly. As a result of her struggles, she was bullied and told she would never be able to drive. However, Rebekkah persevered and used her experience to create a project that would help others. Rebekkah's project took place at the local community center and included a sensory board with Braille alphabet simulation glasses, a hands-on activity using a muffin tin and six balls, and a UV lamp with QR codes linking to her website and social media pages. Through her project, Rebekkah was able to spread awareness about visual impairments and connect with people from all over the world. Rebekkah's project demonstrates the power of service. By using her own personal experience, Rebekkah was able to create something that had a lasting impact on her community. Her project not only raised awareness about visual impairments, but also showed the importance of perseverance and resilience. By making a difference through service, Rebekkah was able to create a positive change in her community. Take charge and be bossy. Rebekkah's project also shows the importance of taking charge and being bossy. Despite the obstacles she faced due to the pandemic, Rebekkah was able to stay focused on her goal and take charge of the situation. She worked closely with her neighbor, an OT specialist, to develop her idea and proposed it to her eye doctor. When the library she wanted to put her project in was undergoing renovations, Rebekkah had to quickly pivot and put it in the community center instead. Rebekkah's leadership skills were evident throughout her project. She led the meetings and outlined what needed to be done. She also took charge of the shopping trip to get supplies and wrote the list of items needed. Rebekkah was also the one who made the decisions and stuck to them, no matter what. Rebekkah's project shows that taking charge and being bossy can be a powerful tool. She was able to use her leadership skills to create a successful project that had a lasting impact on her community. Rebekkah's project shows that it is possible to make a difference through service and that taking charge and being bossy can be a powerful tool for creating positive change. Partnerships are essential. Partnerships are essential for any successful project. Rebekkah's Gold Award project is an excellent example of this. She was able to partner with Girl Scouts Historic Georgia to take over their social media for a day during their Quest Fest event. This partnership allowed her to reach a wider audience and spread the word about her project. She also partnered with Kristina Lachagh, who helped boost Rebekkah's social media presence and gave her access to more resources. Rebekkah's project is a great example of how powerful partnerships can be. Not only did she gain access to more resources, but she was also able to make meaningful connections with people who could help her succeed. Partnerships are essential to any successful project because they provide access to resources and connect people who can help each other reach their goals. Rebekkah's project also highlights the importance of networking. She was able to make meaningful connections with people who could help her succeed. Networking allows people to find mentors, supporters, and resources that can help them reach their goals. Rebekkah's project demonstrates the power of networking and how it can help people achieve their goals. Partnerships and networking are essential for any successful project. Rebekkah's Gold Award project is an excellent example of this. She was able to make meaningful connections. Ask questions and take risks. Rebekkah was able to make her project a success by asking questions and taking risks. She went to the Juliette Gordon Low Museum on a date with her boyfriend and took pictures to use for her project. She also asked for help from the Georgia Historic Society and the birthplace, which shared her content. She even met with the CEO of the Georgia Historic Society, Sue Allen, and was part of the St. Patrick's Day parade. Rebekkah also took risks in her project. She had to be brave and put herself out there in order to make her project successful. She was able to make videos and post them on YouTube, even though she was camera shy. She also created light switch covers to promote electricity saving and redid the whole bath center at the Liberty Humane Shelter. Rebekkah's project shows that it is important to ask questions and take risks in order to make a difference. By putting herself out there, she was able to gain access to resources that allowed her to make a lasting impact on her community. Her project is an example of how taking charge and being bossy can be a powerful tool for creating positive change. Use all resources available. Rebekkah and her Girl Scout troupe were able to take on a Silver Award project that seemed daunting at first. Despite their lack of experience and resources, they were able to make it happen by utilizing the knowledge and resources of their family members. They had to do research to figure out what tools they needed, and budget for the supplies. By taking the initiative and using all the resources available to them, they were able to complete a project that still works to this day. Rebekkah's experience shows that it's important to think outside the box when it comes to problem-solving. Even if you don't have the skills or resources to complete a task, there are always people who can help. It's important to ask for help and to be open to new ideas and methods. By utilizing all the resources available, you can make a bigger impact than you ever thought possible. Rebekkah's experience also shows that taking risks and being brave is important. She and her troupe could have easily given up on their project, but they decided to take a chance and see what they could do. By pushing themselves and taking risks, they could achieve something they never thought possible. Share this show with your friends on Twitter.

In today's episode, Megan talks about the slime-tastic world of snail mucin and how, in the past 10 years, it has gained a foothold in the beauty/skincare industry. Is slime mucin simply a gimmicky ingredient advertised to coerce the curious (or desperate) to shell out more money on skincare products? Or does it actually have scientifically-backed qualities that benefit human skin? Megan has the answers.  Also mentioned...Harini is a Telly Award Winner!

This week the I am reading from John Russell's book 'A Knock in the Attic: True Ghost Stories & Other Spine-chilling Paranormal Adventures' and 'Devils Den: The Reckoning' by Terry Lovelace.John RussellWhen I was five years old I was awakened by an intrusive ghost who not only scared the wits out of me but who also opened up a portal that activated my psychic gifts and allowed a never-ending parade of paranormal manifestations to occur in my life.A Knock in the Attic is my story, not only about my psychic awakening and the abundance of mind-blowing otherworldly confrontations I've experienced, but also about the life lessons those many supernatural encounters have taught me. I've learned that our loved ones who have crossed over, as well as our beloved deceased pets, can give us convincing proofs that life continues after death, sometimes even returning to visit us...in the flesh!I've discovered that Guardian Angels are indeed real, having been protected from certain death many times by their loving and watchful power. I developed healing abilities that greatly benefitted others and yet left me confounded by my own incapability when it came to dealing with my serious personal health issues. I've seen bizarre doppelgängers; experienced continual ghostly activity of an unbelievable and incredible nature; had spirits steal things from me and also bring me gifts; and lived through many more circumstances that will boggle your mind and challenge your perceptions about the psychic and spiritual realms.I'll tell you what it was like to meet Uri Geller, to film a TV pilot for The History Channel, and give you a behind-the-scenes look at some paranormal investigations I conducted that revealed incredible facts. I will also describe my own "UFO encounter" at the Roswell UFO Museum.In spite of this exceedingly close contact with the realm of Spirit--or maybe because of it--somewhere along the way I lost my faith and gave up on myself, my psychic gifts, and the beings on the Other Side; but they didn't give up on me, and that's why I'm still here to tell you my story.Now I'm happy to share these amazing events with you, wishing that you will find inspiration, insight, encouragement, laughter, hope, and maybe even a renewed faith of your own.

Below is a brief synopsis of the introduction to Case #1, "The Christmas Store," shared by a widowed retiree who goes by "Olivia."Dear Mr. Lovelace,My late husband Paul and I had an experience in March of 1968. I've never shared this story with anyone other than my sister and Paul's parents. I was a housewife and Paul was a nephrologist (a kidney doctor) who worked in private practice. We had friends in Reno, Nevada and about every month we'd make the drive from Vegas to Reno to share a weekend with friends. We always stopped in a little town called Tonopah about half-way to Reno. We'd stretch a bit, get fuel and have dinner. It was called "The Stagecoach." I believe it's still there. On this night we were three hours later than usual because Paul had been tied up at the hospital. After dinner and fuel we got back on the road about 9:00 PM and headed for Reno. About 10 miles out of town we were surprised to see a new store. It was a Christmas store. I had never before seen a store solely devoted to the holiday. The store appeared to be open as there was brilliant white light pouring out of the windows. The whole structure was draped in Christmas tree lights in assorted colors, some blinking and others not. I asked Paul to pull over. We were both mesmerized. He pulled onto the shoulder directly in front of the store. It sat back from the road a ways and the lights were incredible. It was odd. There was no parking lot! It was just sand and sagebrush. We saw no other cars, but someone was inside because we could see motion and movement through the windows. Paul noted there was no driveway for an entrance. I remarked, "Who would build a store without an egress or a parking lot?" We sat on the shoulder of the highway in front of the store for some minutes until Paul said, "This is a waste of time," and he pulled back onto the road. Because my husband worked so many hour we usual spent time during the drive to just chat and catch up on things. But not this night. This night was very different....BioTerry Lovelace is a six year veteran of the USAF where he served as a medic and EMT from 1973 to 1979.

A woman has been convicted of illegally issuing prescriptions for controlled substances over several months in Cherokee County, and now four others have been indicted on charges connected to the operation. Leslie Archambault, 47, from Woodstock, was sentenced in January to three years of prison followed by 12 years of probation, after pleading guilty to violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, according to court documents. Archambault elected to resolve her case before the case was indicted, so prosecutors proceeded with an accusation, said Cyndi Crossland, spokesperson for the district attorney's office.   According to prosecutors, Archambault, who was employed by a doctor, repeatedly used a doctor's prescription pad to issue fraudulent prescriptions in the name and on the behalf of herself and others who had never been the doctor's patients. False prescriptions were issued, between Jan. 2 and Oct. 6, 2022, for medications including Adderall, hydrocodone, Xanax, phentermine, and tramadol. An indictment, filed Feb. 14, alleges that the group of associates includes, but is not limited to, Archambault, Jessica Weaver, Cathy Hudson and Jeffrey and Gina Moson. Weaver, Hudson and Jeffrey and Gina Moson are charged with one count of violating the RICO Act. In the indictment, prosecutors say the four defendants allegedly conspired with Archambault to illegally obtain prescription medication. According to the indictment, activities to support the prescription drug fraud included theft, forgery, identity fraud and violations of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act. A Canton man is behind bars after police say he shot into a car and injured two teenagers. Canton police responded to the area of Hickory Knoll Drive and Oakside Drive at about 12:59 p.m. Wednesday in response to a firearm discharge call, the department reported in a press release. There, they found two injured teens inside a car. After further investigation police identified the shooter as Jacob Garcia, 18, from Canton, authorities said. Garcia was arrested at his home at 7:10 p.m. without incident. According to his arrest warrant, Garcia is charged with shooting multiple times into a car with the two teens inside. A 17-year-old was shot in the pelvic area, causing damage to the bone, Canton Police Department said in the warrant. A 15-year-old was hit by shrapnel in his arm and had lacerations. Both were treated at a local hospital, and the teen who was shot was in stable condition Thursday, police said. Garcia is charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Thursday, Garcia remained in custody at the Cherokee County jail without bond, according to the Cherokee Sheriff's Office.

He drilled a 3-pointer to tie the game at 50-50, but with 20 seconds still on the clock, it wasn't even the biggest shot of the night. River Ridge's defense got a stop and a rebound, and as time ticked down, Jay McCord got to the 3-point line, pulled up and connected. McCord's shot gave the Knights a last-second 53-50 win. Hansraj finished as the Knights' leading scorer in the first-round win, picking up 17 points. McCord had 13 points, Greyson Hopf had eight points and Jackson Head tallied seven. Head's presence was critical in keeping the Panthers' big men contained, though he fouled out with four minutes remaining in the game. Coach Aaron Darling praised his team for sustaining the lead and keeping the defensive pressure up without one of their best players down the stretch. The buzzer-beating win was a massive energy and confidence boost for River Ridge after it fell in the Region 6AAAAAA championship game to Etowah. The Knights travel to Blessed Trinity for Round 2 on Saturday.

Cherokee started fast in Wednesday's 59-45 first-round home playoff win over West Forsyth. The Warriors scored 24 points in the opening quarter and overcame the absence of their top interior presence Dastin Hart. Nate Speaks got the start in place of Hart and provided valuable minutes as a disruptor inside. Cherokee also turned to a smaller lineup with Hayden Darko seeing the floor, who hit some key shots in the second quarter. Coach Veihman credited Speaks' defense for sparking Cherokee in the second half after it came out of the locker room slow on offense. Speaks forcefully blocked a shot on West Forsyth's first possession of the game and sent two more shots away in the second half. Cameron Pope's scoring was huge for the Warriors. He jump-started their offense with 10 first-quarter points, including a pair of 3-pointers. Pope finished with a game-high 20 points and connected on four 3-pointers. Behind Pope, Tayden Owens scored nine points, with Braylin Giddens, Lawrence Sanford and Darko all with eight points. The Warriors will host Berkmar on Saturday after the Patriots upset Buford 58-53 on Wednesday night. #CherokeeCounty #Georgia #LocalNews           -          -          -          -          -          -          The Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast is local news for Woodstock, Canton, and all of Cherokee County. Register Here for your essential digital news.             This podcast was produced and published for the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger and TribuneLedgerNews.com by BG Ad Group     For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com/    https://cuofga.org/   https://www.drakerealty.com/   https://www.esogrepair.com/         See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
