Special Day Cooking: A Life Skills Cookbook

by Beverly Worth Palomba

NEW COOKBOOK OFFERS DELICIOUS, EVERYDAY RECIPES FOR THE DEVELOPMENTALLY-CHALLENGED COMMUNITY OR ANY YOUNG PERSON LEARNING TO COOK

     In her 11 years of experience working with special education students, Beverly Worth Palomba has found that developmentally-challenged individuals require certain teaching strategies. After developing a culinary arts class for her special needs students, she found there wasn’t a cookbook on the market that enforced these critical teaching methods. As a result, Palomba decided to fill that void and created Special Day Cooking: A Life Skills Cookbook.
   Geared not only toward those with autism, down syndrome, ADHD, ADD, and other developmental and learning disabilities, but young people with a desire to learn to cook as well, the recipes inSpecial Day Cooking are supported by a proven approach to cooking that show great success. All recipes are in large type, and are formatted in consistent, easy-to-follow steps for all skill levels. They are safe -- needing only a microwave, toaster or blender and a plastic knife to cook, and sometimes no equipment at all -- and can all be completed in one hour or less.
   “Whether a person is living at home, in a group home or have their own apartment, cooking is a very important life skill and one that’s needed every day,” shares Palomba. “We want our children to be as independent as they can be, and sharing a recipe with family or friends makes you feel great. Up goes your self-esteem and self-confidence!”

   Including more than 60 recipes, Special Day Cooking goes beyond cooking skills to teach life skills including:

• Knowledge to promote independent living
• Working together and fostering teamwork
• Self-confidence and building self-esteem
• Bonding with family and friends in the kitchen
• Strengthens motor skills
• And so much more!

After working in the computer industry in Massachusetts, Beverly Worth Palomba moved to the San Francisco Bay area with her family and turned to her real love: education. She has been a teacher from Pre-K through high school for more than 20 years and, during the past 11 years, she has worked exclusively in Special Education. She created a life skills cooking class four years ago at the local high school geared to the needs and abilities of her students. In addition, she provides cooking workshops at local community centers. This program inspired her first book, Special Day Cooking: A Life Skills Cookbook. She enjoys cooking, gardening, reading and spending time with her husband, daughter and kitty named Kiwi.

Crows feet are the lines and creases that run from the outer corner of the eye, and fan out across the temple, sometimes even extending downwards towards the cheeks! Main causes of crows feet are caused by a loss of collagen in the skin, smiling and squinting. Crows feet can be excellent indicators of the ageing process. There are four types of crow’s feet: full fan, central, middle and lower.

Some wrinkle injections are composed of a natural purified protein that relaxes wrinkle causing muscles, creating a smoother rejuvenated and more youthful appearance, and are usually injected into the muscles around your eyes in 3 different places. Improvement in the severity of the crows feet generally occurs within one week after the anti-wrinkle injections and has been shown to last for up to 4 months.

How communities can work together to prevent suicide

The period of highest risk is during the first six months after the onset of a physical or mental illness     By Jitender Sareen Expert Advisor EvidenceNetwork.ca WINNIPEG, MB/ Troy Media/ - The death of comedian Robin Williams last month sparked a worldwide discussion about suicide, its underlying causes and how it might be prevented. And, with World Suicide Prevention Day taking place Sept. 10, the subject is certain to generate more debate as people seek to understand this important health issue. Having spent 10 years researching the subject while working as a professor of psychiatry, I believe there are things we can do as a community to tackle this problem. With that in mind, I thought it might be helpful to reflect on what researchers have learned over the years about strategies for preventing suicide. First, it is important to understand suicide, like other medical conditions such as cancer and heart disease, is complex. There is no singular cause of suicide. People who attempt or die by suicide often have stories of adverse childhood experiences, onset of depression, anxiety, substance use problems, loss of social support, financial stress, medical problems and impulsive/aggressive personality style. Our work in First Nations communities has also demonstrated the importance of loss of culture, residential school trauma and racism as a risk for suicide behaviour. Yet, the majority of people who experience many of these issues do not die by suicide or attempt suicide. Why does one person attempt suicide while another person with the same stressor does not? This question remains unanswered. Generally speaking, most suicide prevention programs take a broad public-health approach with a view to reducing everyone's risk for suicide. For example, increasing awareness of suicide and the importance of getting appropriate treatment to reduce suicidal behaviour is an important goal of World Suicide Prevention Day. Other promising community level initiatives include positive-parenting programs and school-based programs such as the Good Behaviour Game, which involves teams of students competing for points based on how they act in class. Reducing access to lethal means such as firearms, pesticides, carbon monoxide and quantities of medications has been shown to be associated with reduced suicide. Fifteen years ago, the United Kingdom moved to limit acetaminophen to 28 tablets per bottle. Since then, there has been a reduction in overdose death related to acetaminophen in the UK, without a commiserate increase in suicide with another method. In Manitoba, researchers are examining whether similar action may reduce the risk of suicide and unintentional overdose deaths in this province. There is a strong adverse relationship between childhood experiences (sexual abuse, physical abuse) and suicidal behaviour. Thus, positive-parenting programs, and culturally-grounded interventions to improve parent-child relationships are important. Families bereaved by suicide often struggle with guilt, anxiety and depression. Interventions to help families cope with family members who are struggling with suicidal behaviour are required. I have always been surprised that a public health nurse comes to the new mother's home to ensure that the mom and baby are doing well. But when there is a suicide in a family, there is no outreach to see how the family is doing after this awful event. We are considering pilot testing the utility of such an outreach program. At the individual level, the period of highest risk for suicide is during the first six months after the onset of a physical or mental illness. Increasing access to crisis services and evidence-based treatments for depression, anxiety, psychosis and substance use disorders have shown to be associated with reductions in suicide. There is strong evidence improving primary-care physician education in the assessment and treatment of depression reduces suicide. Specialized mental-health teams that focus on mental-health problems and addictions are extremely important in suicide prevention. In short, there is rapid advancement in the knowledge of suicide prevention and there is a need for an evaluation of promising new programs for suicide prevention.

Introducing Rdio Sessions Live @ The Orange Lounge

Star-Powered Music Series Brings New, Exclusive Audio Recordings to
Rdio’s Robust Catalogue of More than 30 Million Songs

Shaw Media’s ET Canada Takes Viewers Behind-the-Scenes with Revealing Artist Interviews

Rdio.com | @RdioCA | #RdioSessions

 TORONTO, September 6, 2014 – Following Rdio’s move to a free, stations first experience comes the announcement of Rdio Sessions Live @ The Orange Lounge. Building off the success of Rdio’s Sessions   program, which just premiered an exclusive performance with Canadian indie artists Tokyo Police Club, Rdio Canada is teaming up with The Orange Lounge. In joining forces with The Orange Lounge (Toronto’s world-renowned recording studio) and Universal Music Canada (the country’s leading music company), Rdio will provide listeners with the most exclusive access to intimate recordings from the biggest and hottest names in music.

When the Shaw Media property first teamed up with The Orange Lounge and Universal Music Canada in 2013, page views on the network’s site increased by 820 per cent, to well over 4.9 million, a testament to Orange Lounge finding the consumer sweet spot and feeding their hunger for quality content. Audio recordings and exclusive content from Rdio Sessions Live @ The Orange Lounge will soon be available to Rdio’s Canadian customers and subscribers at Rdio.com/Sessions; videos of the intimate sessions remain available at ETCanada.com/OrangeLounge.

Today’s announcement by Rdio CEO Anthony Bay was accompanied by a private session from Universal Music’s international sensation Ellie Goulding, whose sophomore album “Halcyon Days” is currently platinum in Canada and features the hits ‘Burn’, ‘Anything Could Happen’, and ‘I Need Your Love’. Goulding’s chilling 2013 session at The Orange Lounge remains one of the most-viewed on ETCanada.com.  

“Partnering with The Orange Lounge to offer exclusive, unique and compelling experiences through Rdio Sessions Live @ The Orange Lounge is a thrill and an honour,” said Anthony Bay, CEO of Rdio. “Canada is our second largest market and we are fully committed to teaming up with local music innovators to create powerful connections to music here.”

Rdio Sessions Live @ The Orange Lounge reflects the commitment and support from Shaw Communications to support Rdio's growth and profile among Canadian music lovers. Earlier this year, Shaw made a financial investment in Rdio's holding company and entered into a marketing, content, and promotion partnership designed to help develop a Canadian “face” of Rdio and provide Canadians with the world’s best digital music listening experience. As the country’s leading network and content experience company, Shaw is leveraging its extensive resources – particularly through its Shaw Media subsidiary – to create unique and engaging content experiences.

“Rdio Sessions Live @ The Orange Lounge is a strong example of our combined effort to create cutting-edge content experiences featuring the biggest musical acts and artists from across the country and around the world,” says Jim Little, Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer, Shaw Communications. “Through Shaw Media’s extensive resources and expertise, we’re excited to take this partnership in new and interesting directions in the months to come.”

Earlier this week, Rdio, a leading global music streaming service available in 60 countries, launched a new version of its application which now includes a free Internet radio streaming service with both human programmed and computer programmed stations. The new version includes a suite of new features and social discovery enhancements to its subscription service that underscores Rdio’s commitment to creating the best-in-class digital music experience in the world.
