What are PA inmates being given to eat?
Celebrating our 54th Anniversary
2 - SCOOP U.S.A. - Friday, October 17, 2014
thera martin milling
In a perfect world, if I were
in charge of facilities such as
penal institutions, I would
want people who are incarcerated to have healthy meals
and food that is tasty. Over
the last 38 years, whenever I
get a chance to talk with people are incarcerated or were
at some point in their lives,
incarcerated, I hear from
them that the food in most
prisons and jails is nasty, not tasty at all. If I am to
believe some of the incarcerated people I talk
with, they allege that a lot of the food they get in
prison is already spoiled, or on its way to being
spoiled. I’ve even had a few inmates who have alleged that they’ve gotten food in prison, that
clearly had some kind of worms moving around
on the food. If that is true, that is outrageous. Even
criminals deserve to be feed decent meals.
Also the other reality is that because of religious purposes, some people can only eat certain kinds of foods.
Or someone who wants to eat healthy may want to see
health bars in the snack machines as opposed to just
candy and chips, and soda, etc. But inmates tell me that
“No one listens to us when we ask for certain kinds of
foods”.
One of the responses I give to inmates whom I talk
with, who have complaints or concerns about the quality
of food they get while incarcerated is this: You have to
remember you are not at home. You are not in the position to demand steak and potatoes and sour cream, or
lobster and salad and cheesecake for dessert. Once you
are incarcerated, you become the property of the city, the
state or the federal government, depending on which arm
of the government has you on lock-down. There are
some in positions of power who will remind you every
day, for the entire time you are incarcerated, that “You
are a criminal. You’re worthless. You made a horrible
mistake. You don’t deserve anything decent. To be very
clear -- I do not think that way, but some people in positions of authority as some penal institutions think exactly
like that. They treat people coldly. They don’t let up an
inch in order to make an incarcerated person feel like
they’re not worthy of anything decent. So it’s a very
tough situation.
I believe in being fair and I also believe in treating others as you want to be treated. So if you don’t want to eat
spoiled food, or food with bugs crawling around it it,
then why would you expect an inmate to eat that trash?
I received a letter in the mail that was mailed to me at
the address of the SCOOP USA Community newspaper
originally. It got to me October 9, 2014, but was dated
September 25, 2014. The letter was written by Bernard

Jackson, a man who is doing time at Graterford. He says
he wrote me before and that I never responded, but I’m
saying the first letter I received came to me October 9,
2014.
Because I do think this story is important, I’m sharing
it with our SCOOP Readers. Bernard Jackson informed
me that some of the inmates at Graterford staged a
hunger strike recently based on their dissatisfaction with
the quality and quantity of meals served. Bernard Jackson says he feels that the PA State Department of Corrections has shown callousness in terms of their response to
the inmates hunger strike. Bernard Jackson says that the
Department of Corrections response suggested that “Inmates who don’t like the food they’re served, go buy
food in the prison commissary”.
Bernard Jackson stated, “I wrote to the PA Department
of Health/Bureau of Health Promotion and Risk Reduction, for information on “empty calories” and the Director, Tomas J. Aguilar, was kind enough to respond with
written information. I recognize that there are many issues in society that asks for media exposure, but however, I humbly request you to focus on prisoners issues
and in this moment, the poor diets prepared by the Department of Corrections; and why prisoners have held
hunger strikes. Most prisoners do not have jobs, nor are
the jobs that are available inside prison, paying sufficient
money to purchase food from the “prison store”, even
though the prison stores do not sell vegetables, fruit, lean
meats, etc. “
Tomas J. Aquilar, Director, Bureau of Health Promotion and Risk Reduction commented, “Estimated daily
calorie intake is based on several factors such as age,
gender and physical activity level. According to the
United States Department of Agriculture, many foods
and beverages Americans eat and drink contain empty
calories -- calories from solid fats and or added sugars.
Solid fats and added sugars add calories to the food, but
few or no nutrients. For this reason, the calories from
solid fats and added sugars in a food are often called
empty calories. Fruits and vegetables are an example of
what is considered whole foods. Other types of whole
foods include nuts, beans, seeds, milk, eggs and certain
cuts of meat, fish and poultry. The process of pasteurization to milk is not considered an unnatural process and
pasteurized milk is still considered a whole food.”
So what are Empty Calories again? Currently many of
the foods and beverages Americans eat and drink contain
empty calories -- calories from solid fats and or sugars.
The foods and beverages that provide the most empty
calories for Americans are: cakes, cookies, pastries and
donuts, (contain both solid fat and added sugars). Sodas,
energy drinks, sports drinks, and fruit drinks, (contain
added sugar). Cheese, (contains solid fat), pizza, (contains solid fat), ice cream, (contains both solid fat and
added sugars). Sausages, hot dogs, bacon, and ribs (contain solid fat). These foods are the major sources of
empty calories. For more information about empty calories, log on at www.choosermyplate.gov/weight-management-calories/empty-calories.html
One article written by one columnist isn’t going to
make for change in terms of the kinds of food inmates
get served in Pennsylvania prisons and jails. But at least
it can help start the conversation and make people on the
outside, aware of what is happening on the inside of
penal institutions in some cases. I do not want to believe
that “all” prisons and jails serve bad food, but I’ve had so
many people who were once incarcerated or who are currently incarcerated talk about how miserable food is in
prison, so some of them gotta be telling the truth. A really wise person might dispense this kind of statement on
the food situation for people who are incarcerated: When
you get out of incarceration stay out, because you know
the food is not good.
FYI -- Black Clergy of Philadelphia and Vicinity will

What about the girls?
marian wright edelman
ChildWatch
During the most
critical period of
Jessica’s childhood, adults who
could have intervened to protect
her from abuse let
her down over and
over. As a child
she was sexually
abused in her
home and ended up living with her
grandmother for a time. At age 11 she
became a victim to child sex trafficking
when she fell into the clutches of a local
pimp. She was never treated as a victim
or a sexual assault survivor, even by the police.
At school she was stalked and sexually harassed by a school administrator known to pay
for sex. Jessica was sold for sex by her pimp for
the next several years until she finally found a
way out through The Mary Magdalene Project,
a local social service agency. She often called
herself a “prostitute,” but through her healing and advocacy work Jessica now knows how important language is
and understands she was sexually exploited.
When Tanisha was in junior high she got into a fight at
school. Instead of the argument being mediated or the discipline handled by the school, she was funneled into Los
Angeles County’s juvenile justice system and given probation for getting into the fight. While on probation Tanisha, who had to rely on public transportation, was
occasionally late for school which led to truancy tickets
which were considered a probation violation. As a result
Tanisha was arrested and detained at a juvenile detention
center. When she arrived she was scared and depressed,
but rather than providing her help from mental health professionals, she says detention officers placed her in “the
box,” or solitary confinement, for days. Cold, hungry, and
extremely frightened, it took her a very long time to heal.
Today Tanisha is a 20-year-old student and advocate for
other young people in the juvenile justice system through
the Youth Justice Coalition, and Jessica is a 29-year-old
Los Angeles County probation consultant with the Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking Unit. Jessica is now a
mother and is featured in a powerful mural on Los Angeles’ Skid Row as a survivor of sex trafficking. Both survivors spoke at a Los Angeles town hall co-organized by
the Children’s Defense Fund-California, Public Counsel,
Youth Justice Coalition, and UCLA Law School and focused on five critical areas where girls of color face disproportionate risks: school push-out, foster care and
dependency, criminalization and incarceration, sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of children,
and gender-specific burdens.
Though national focus is often on the racially biased
ways boys of color are treated, girls of color face many of
the same risks from the cradle through adulthood which
impact their life chances for success. Like boys, girls of
color who enter the juvenile justice, child welfare, education, and other systems often arrive traumatized and experience more trauma from the way they are treated inside
systems.
A recent report by the NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund, Inc. and the National Women’s Law Center,
Unlocking Opportunity for African American Girls: A
Call to Action for Educational Equity, details the barriers
to educational success for these girls: stereotyping and
perception; under-resourced schools; unequal access to
science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learn-
SCOOP U.S.A. - Friday, October 17, 2014 -3
ing opportunities; overly punitive school discipline practices; the challenges of early pregnancy and parenting;
and discrimination from school personnel. It also highlights sexual harassment, violence, and trauma and their
harmful impact.
The level of gender-based violence girls experience and
the way supposed “child-serving” systems treat girls of
color compounds the harms they face. Systems often fail
to see them as trauma survivors—treating them instead as
complicit in their victimhood, threatening, or unable to be
rehabilitated. The story of mass incarceration and racial
inequality is incomplete without understanding and acknowledging gender-based violence and the gender-specific burdens girls of color face as they attempt to survive
these systems and succeed.
When Boko Haram kidnapped 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria earlier this year, it sparked international outrage and
calls for United States military intervention. But girls are
at risk right here at home too, begging the question—
where is the outrage for them? In 2010 the homicide rate
among Black girls and women ages 10-24 was higher
than for any other group of females and higher than that
for White and Asian men. The firearm death rate for
Black girls and women ages 10-24 from 2008-10 was
more than 6.5 times higher than for White girls and
women. Black girls experience sexual violence at higher
rates than their White and Latina counterparts, and intimate partner homicide is the leading cause of death
among Black women between the ages of 15-35. The
commercial sexual exploitation of children like Jessica is
a $32 billion global industry involving over 100,000 U.S.
children, mostly girls, whose average age of entry is 1214 years old. The Human Trafficking Reporting System
reports that 94 percent of confirmed victims of sex trafficking between January 2008 and June 2010 were female, and 40 percent were Black.
Girls of color experience the highest rates of criminalization and incarceration and are disproportionately represented in the juvenile justice system. Like Tanisha, many
girls are detained because of laws criminalizing probation
violations or “status” offenses like truancy that would not
be considered illegal for an adult but result in their being
sent to juvenile detention centers in cities and towns
across the country with no attention to their underlying
health, emotional, educational, and economic needs.
Black girls also have some of the highest school suspension and expulsion rates. According to the U.S. Department of Education, Black girls like Tanisha represent
less than 17 percent of all female students but make up 31
percent of girls referred to law enforcement by schools
and about 43 percent of girls who experience school-related arrests. Even the very youngest girls are at risk—
girls like 6-year-old Salecia Johnson, who in 2012 was
handcuffed and arrested at her Georgia elementary school
for throwing a tantrum in her kindergarten classroom. Despite all this, gender-informed interventions are still a rarity in places like our juvenile justice systems—which
further prevents girls from getting the help they need and
deserve.
We need to wake up and realize all children, especially
those of color—girls and boys—need adults to stop criminalizing them and recognize the special risks facing our
girls. They need us to stand up, speak up, and protect
them right now.

The Opal is the stone for the month of October
Opal has been called the Cupid stone because it reflects
the complexion of Eros, the Greek god of love. In the
Middle Ages, opal was thought to render the wearer invisible, thus it was recommended for thieves to wear opals.
Ancient Arab culture believed opals fell from heaven, acquiring their play of color from flashes of lighting. To the
Romans, the opal was the symbol of hope and purity. They
called it “Cupid Paederos”, a child beautiful as love. The
Roman senator Nonius chose to go into exile rather than
surrender an opal to Mark Anthony and most opals are 5065 million years old, dating back to the Cretaceous period
when dinosaurs walked the earth.

Reality TV ain’t real
Stand up
Stand up is the story of
the week for the Mayor of
Girard Avenue, Toby Rich.
The people that are standing
up are Taxi Cab Drivers
from Philadelphia that
found out that a scab cab
company from New York
wants to come here and
start a new company. They say that they mean no
harm and that they just care about Philly folks so
much they want to give us a good taxicab company that
will drive at a better price. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Just wait until
they get stuck up and then we will see just how fair
priced they want to be.
Listen, the Cab drivers here already risk their lives
every time they get in their cabs so we do owe them
some kind of loyalty. Not to mention that it took them
some time to be able to learn all of the Streets here in
Philly. So do you really think that some guys from New
York are going to come here and be fair? I say no way,
Boycott. Do not use them. Let them go back to New
York. Mr. Ronald Blount, President of The Unified Taxi
Workers Alliance of Pennsylvania said to me that they
will work hard to hear all complaints from people here in
Philly so they can make your cab company better. Now
ain’t that saying something. I mean don’t that just tell
you how much they really care about you? They even
want to learn how to improve service and give more respect to the people that ride in their cabs.
Now as far as competition, you already have a good
taxi hack system in Philly and they are not legal, so they
risk going to jail just to give you a ride. So we really
don’t need any other taxicab system. We are good here.
I was so proud of all of the cab drivers that were out in
the street protesting about this issue. It showed that people really do still care in this great city of ours and we
must not let folks down. It is too important to all of our
well being. Let us all keep Hope alive and remember
watch out for the No Good People that are trying to take
our city to the rotten bottom. Let us all be aware. To be
aware is to be alive. With love, honor and respect from
your Mayor of Girard Ave Toby Rich. Peace. P.S. Vote!!!

phires: Blogs and the Negative Stereotyping of AfricanAmerican Women on Reality Television. This week we
will share more information to buttress our case that television in general and so called reality TV in particular do
not represent reality and present damaging and dehumanizing images of African people.
This negative imagining is a very deliberate process. It
is a continuation of centuries of negative and demeaning
depictions of African people. “The depictions of African
American women on reality television vary from modern
day mammies and the educated bitch (Boylorn, 2008) to
jezebels and sapphires (Squires, 2008). All of these images were initially rooted in slavery, molded by structural
inequalities and subsequently reinforced over the years
through media, politics, law and a host of other cultural
outlets (Collins, 2000; Stephens & Phillips 2003). The internalization of these debilitating stereotypes and images
have been linked to psychological distress and low selfesteem, as well as chronic health issues (Thomas,
Speight & Witherspoon, 2004). bell hooks (1992) suggests that we should take an ‘oppositional gaze’ at these
controlling images and negative stereotypes by critically
examining, challenging and deconstructing them in order
to rebuild positive images of African American women.”
The Reality of Televised Jezebels and Sapphires: Blogs
and the Negative Stereotypes of African-American
Women on Reality Television pages 9-10. http:// scholarworks.gsu.edu/communicaton_theses
Of course the negative images and depictions are not
relegated to Black females; Black males have been demonized and vilified in the media also; even more so.
“Mainstream media often portray African-American
youths, especially black men and boys, as criminals,
crime victims and predators. These stereotypes, according to social justice advocates, can create a racially
charged atmosphere that results in violence such as the
shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin. U.S. popular
culture has become increasingly desensitized to one-dimensional portrayals of black youths. Perpetuation of
them as dangerous has been embedded in American society not only by words and images projected by journalists but also by a wide variety of other media and
entertainment sources, including the Internet, movies and
video games. Clearly, the perception of African-Americans and other people of color as inferior to whites is
rooted in the nation’s legacy of racial hierarchy, a system
of stratification based on belief that skin color makes
whites superior. Also contributing to embedding these
stereotypes is that even as U.S. Census data show a
growing number of nonwhites in America, fewer people
of color are in decision-making positions at daily newspapers, television and radio stations, and online news organizations.” Media Portrayals of Black Youths
Contribute to Racial Tensions by Joshundra Sanders
http://mije.org/mmcsi/general/media’s-portrayal-blackyouths-contributes-racial-tension.
Reality TV is growing by leaps and bounds and is an
extremely popular genre. “Because television is so fascinating (Papacharissi & Mendelson, 2007), it becomes increasingly hard for viewers to distinguish between fiction
and reality, especially when television is presented as
factual (Mitu, 2011). Viewers consume reality television
for a variety of reasons, but a voyeuristic desire seems to
be most prevalent. Due to the high content of verbal aggression followed by physical aggression, reality television normalizes these types of behaviors. All of this can
lead to the incorporation of aggression in the viewer’s
life. Stereotypes of African American women abound in

“Pozner proffers that reality
TV is responsible for reinforcing racial and ethnic
stereotypes, negatively impacts women, and people of
color and will have a detrimental effect on a generation
of viewers coming of age.
She boldly opines that reality
TV is skewered to “court controversy” and, thus, boost ratings. And if producers have to submerge themselves and the cast
members in the racial tropes cesspool to accomplish this objective, then they and the cast will
gleefully do so for a paycheck and faux fame.
Psychologists decry the mindless behavior that
mutates reality for the undiscerning, the ignorant
and the impressionable young minds who are
drinking in these tainted images.”

Two weeks ago we examined the impact of so called
“Reality TV” on popular American culture. We decried
the negative stereotyping of people of color especially
people of African descent in the ever increasingly popular genre called reality TV in both types: the game competition shows like (Survivor or American Idol) and the
so called docu-soaps like the Housewives franchise,
Love and Hip Hop and similar programs.
We pointed out these show are relatively cheap to produce and they rake in viewers and advertising bucks.
While they are supposedly not totally scripted they do
have a story line, theme, flow or point of view like all
other media. David Rupel a member of the Writer’s
Guild of America who worked on Reality TV shows
wrote, “A) It is a show with very little structure, where
everyday events become the stories, such as The Real
World, The Osbournes, and A&E's Airplane. On these
shows, story editors sift through days (and sometime
weeks) of footage to find compelling stories after the
shooting has occurred. These shows tend to have longer
shooting schedules, because you can't predict when
something interesting is going to happen. On my early
days on The Real World, we usually shot about six days
to generate one 30-minute episode; B) It is a show that is
heavily formatted, where events are planned before
shooting begins. Examples of this are Survivor, The
Amazing Race and The Bachelor. Writers–usually getting
some kind of producer title–create beats for the show that
generate the dramatic structure. These shows tend to
have much shorter shooting schedules. Two to three days
is typical to create a one-hour episode.” How Reality TV
Works by David Rupel http://www.wga.org/organizesub.aspx?id=1091
We also noted that the programs that feature Blacks are
extremely degrading and ddecadent We quoted Safiya E.

Supreme Empowerment week with
LeTonya Clark: “How to endure”
sherri y. johnson
I am excited that this
week has arrived again. We
are going to learn from our
in-house life and career
coach how to endure in various situations.
Any major effort you put
forth to accomplish something great for your life will
require time, dedication, and
consistency. No great feat happens overnight. It
is a series of days, months, weeks, and even years
of building, planning, executing, starting over and
beginning again. In the end, though, all of the
sweat equity, tears, joy and even frustration will be
worth it if you stay committed to the task. Here
are four valuable lessons that increased my endurance to
stick to the task when I worked on accomplishing some
of my personal goals:
1. I got farther with help: There were many things I
could accomplish and get finished alone. However, in
certain phases and stages of the process, it was when I
reached out to others and tapped into their expertise that I
got access to information that I would not have gotten
had I continued to work alone. Including others where
needed increased my own knowledge because they knew
more than I in those areas. Rather than intimidate me,
being in their company caused me to push myself in
ways I had not considered when I was alone. When
working towards a goal, you can do it alone, but it is
when you associate with those more successful than you
that you get in contact with resources, ideas and avenues
you may not have considered if you travel the entire road
without company.

2. Discipline along
the way is
more important than the
finished product: Sticking
to a consistent schedule
helped build
my mental
energy and
enabled me to
make significant gains
without
seeming to
expend to
much effort.
By incorporated small,
repeatable
LeTonya Clark
tasks into my
daily and weekly routines resulted in me being able to
make significant gains without realizing it. Be consistent. You will see incremental growth over time; it will
pay off.
3. Be dedicated, even when it is painful: I will be honest with you and say that with all of my projects, I started
out with great excitement. After a while, though, that
flame of enthusiasm began to burn out. It became
painful at times because I did not see the results I expected to see by a certain timeframe. I wanted to give up;
but I didn't. When I wanted to throw in the towel and
pack it all in was the point at which it became more important than ever to keep going.
4. My race, my pace: Comparisons are dangerous.
They can be detrimental because at times I concluded
that I was either better than someone else who I perceive
myself to be more successful than or I felt bad about
where I was because I was not as far along as someone
else. It did not help me to make comparisons because I
had to chart my progress based on the time I spent, the
resources I had access to, the level of discipline I exercised. As I looked back and saw how far I had come, I
concluded that it was far better to use myself only as the
barometer. No one else could walk this path that I was
on, and therefore no one else could be used as a point of
comparison. It freed my mind and allowed me to enjoy
others because I was not preoccupied with what they may
have been doing. Instead, I was able to learn from their
skills and success and incorporate into my routine those
things that would be valuable in aiding me to make
progress.
As you work towards your goal; do not waste valuable
energy and mental capital comparing yourself to others.
Look to how much you have accomplished in a certain
amount of time and celebrate that progress. Some will
move faster than you, others will move more slowly than
you, but as long as you keep moving, you will receive
your prize for your race because you learned how to endure; and that is the most liberating principle of all.

Playwriter/film director Talbert seeks new talent locally
PhillyBeat
yanina carter
Have you ever
consider a career
in theater, film,
or TV? Ever
watched a play
or a movie and
said, "I could do
that!" Now,
here's your
chance! Bringing
two decades of
skill and experience to the craft
Entertainment Editor of acting, pioneering theater
producer and respected Hollywood film director -David
E. Talbert opens the door to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn, grow, and be discovered. Award-winning
playwright David E. Talbert will help thousands from
coast to coast gain insight into the entertainment industry
through his Multi City Actor's Workshop & Talent Search
Tour. For those who can't get to Hollywood, David E.
Talbert is bringing Hollywood to them through his leading-edge Actor's Workshop & Talent Search.
“I've gotten so many emails over the years asking me
to do a workshop,” expressed Talbert. But then I thought
‘doing a workshop is great, but what would be better is to
give people an opportunity to put what they just learned
to use by getting a chance to be cast in one of my productions.’ I realized that I have been blessed to be in a position to not only do what I love, but to also hire people to
do what they love and help make someone’s dream come
true like someone did for me."
David E. Talbert's Actor's Workshop & Talent Search
Tour kicks off in his hometown of Washington, DC on
Saturday, October 4th at the Mayflower Renaissance.
Other cities on the tour include Philadelphia, PA on Saturday, October 18th, Chicago, IL on Saturday, November
1st, Los Angeles on Saturday, November 8th and Dallas,
Texas on Saturday, November 15th. There will be one
session per day scheduled from 9 AM - 3 PM. There is a
registration fee for the workshop. As an added bonus,
Mural arts

with the Scratch DJ Academy, teaching students in
the Mural Arts Program’s
Art Education program
technical skills to fuel their
own musical pursuits. The
brainchild of Rob Principe
and the late great Jam
Master Jay of Run DMC,
Scratch DJ Academy’s
mission is to provide education and access to the
dynamic art form of the DJ
and producer.
Students will work on
the mural through the
school year (fall 2014 to
spring 2015) while participating in educational programs with DJs at Scratch
Academy and other special
guests. Students from
Mural Arts’ youth education programs at Achieving Independence Center,
the Bridge, Vision Quest,
and NorthEast Treatment
Centers (NET) will have
the opportunity to learn
from highly regarded DJs,
access an in-depth history
on the evolution and
legacy of DJ culture in
their hometown, have the
opportunity to cultivate
their own skills on state of
the art technology and
equipment, and showcase
their talents at Philly DJ
Mural Project events. Students and teaching artists
are doing an anthropological dig through music history, engaging in a cultural
study of DJ culture and its
effects on music culture
and society at large.
Lead and assistant
teaching artists have collaborated to create a powerful DJ Curriculum
Guide. Goals and highlights of the curriculum
are: utilizing creativity as a
21st Century skill, critical
thinking, understanding
imagination, teaching students history not in school
history books, fostering
inter-generational relationships, understanding art
historical "visual sampling" in the style of DJ
sampling, exploring and
deconstructing the DJ's

said, “Knowing the role
that the Philadelphia DJ
has played in the development in both hip-hop and
dance music cultures, and
understanding the way that
both these cultures have
influenced popular culture
worldwide, it’s an honor
and humbling to play a
part in a project that brings
recognition to the importance of Philadelphia.
Something that’s by
Philadelphians, about
Philadelphians, and for
Philadelphians, this project
is a giant step towards
holding a mirror up to the
community and letting
them know just how important they have been in
shaping just how the world
moves.”

the gorgeous ocean setting of the National Historic Landmark city.
Shares founder Michael Kline, a native of Cape May
who returned in 2005 from New Orleans: Cape May has
a really special feel that reminds me of New Orleans. We
strive to bring a little of that New Orleans street party to
Cape May especially after the really busy summer season. Exit 0 celebrates how great our town is in all seasons and brings phenomenal artists to our small seaside
town, lending it a European feel too. It’s exciting to
know that people are returning time and time again and
telling their friends. Everyone is welcome here!

Big brothers, big sisters Southeastern PA and
Comcast bring Mentoring beyond school walls
Students from Potter-Thomas Elementary School in
North Philadelphia will gain a special learning experience outside their classroom this school year, thanks to a
partnership between Big Brothers Big Sisters Southeastern Pennsylvania (BBBS SEPA) and Comcast.
The Beyond School Walls (BSW) workplace mentoring program kicked off this week with emotional reunions and first-time meetings between employee
volunteer mentors (“Bigs”) and students (“Littles”).
More than 50 students in the fourth through eighth grades
will meet at least twice a month with Comcast employee
Bigs at Comcast Center in Philadelphia for one-to-one
mentoring sessions. Launched in 2008 at the company’s
Philadelphia headquarters, the company’s Beyond School
Walls program aims to help at-risk children reach their
fullest potential.
“The relationships built through this mentoring program are life-changing for both our employees and their
Littles,” said Charisse R. Lillie, Vice President, Community Investment for Comcast Corporation and President
of the Comcast Foundation. “Not only do we see these
children make improvements in their grades and feelings
about education, but our employees enthusiastically embrace the program and value the opportunity to give back
to children in their communities.”
Comcast’s Beyond School Walls program is the nation’s largest workplace mentoring program in partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, with more
than 300 mentoring matches anticipated this school year.
“We are grateful for our relationship with Comcast,”
said Marcus Allen, CEO for BBBS SEPA. “They are one
of 24 corporations in our geographic footprint currently
involved in the Beyond School Walls program, and we
invite other local companies to take their lead and provide this workplace mentoring opportunity for their employees.”
Research shows that children in the Beyond School
Walls program have improved focus in school, improved
grades, and a positive change in attitudes or perceptions.
Compared to other mentoring programs run by Big
Brothers Big Sisters, Comcast matches have a higher 12month retention rate (66% vs 42%), serve more male Littles (48% vs 44%), and participating Littles are more
diverse (82% non-white vs 69%).
According to 2013 Big Brothers Big Sisters Youth Outcomes Survey data, one year after being enrolled in the
Comcast Beyond School Walls program, Littles showed
significant gains in educational expectations and social
acceptance. Eighty-seven percent of Comcast mentees
maintained or improved in outcomes related to educational expectations.

Emotional abuse
Health News

What Is Emotional Abuse?Emotional abuse of a
child is commonly
defined as a pattern
of behavior by parents or caregivers
that can seriously
interfere with a
child’s cognitive,
emotional, psychological or social development. Emotional
abuse of a child also referred to as psychological maltreatment can include:
Ignoring. Either physically or psychologically, the parent or caregiver is not present to respond to the child. He
or she may not look at the child and may not call the
child by name.
Rejecting. This is an active refusal to respond to a
child’s needs (e.g., refusing to touch a child, denying the
needs of a child, ridiculing a child).
Isolating. The parent or caregiver consistently prevents
the child from having normal social interactions with
peers, family members and adults. This also may include
confining the child or limiting the child’s freedom of
movement.
Exploiting or corrupting. In this kind of abuse, a child
is taught, encouraged or forced to develop inappropriate
or illegal behaviors. It may involve self-destructive or antisocial acts of the parent or caregiver, such as teaching a
child how to steal or forcing a child into prostitution.
Verbally assaulting. This involves constantly belittling,
shaming, ridiculing or verbally threatening the child.
Terrorizing. Here, the parent or caregiver threatens or
bullies the child and creates a climate of fear for the
child. Terrorizing can include placing the child or the
child’s loved one (such as a sibling, pet or toy) in a dangerous or chaotic situation, or placing rigid or unrealistic
expectations on the child with threats of harm if they are
not met.
Neglecting the child. This abuse may include educational neglect, where a parent or caregiver fails or refuses
to provide the child with necessary educational services;
mental health neglect, where the parent or caregiver denies or ignores a child’s need for treatment for psycho-

logical problems; or medical neglect, where a parent or
caregiver denies or ignores a child’s need for treatment
for medical problems.
While the definition of emotional abuse is often complex and imprecise, professionals agree that, for most
parents, occasional negative attitudes or actions are not
considered emotional abuse. Even the best of parents
have occasions when they have momentarily "lost control" and said hurtful things to their children, failed to
give them the attention they wanted or unintentionally
scared them.
What is truly harmful, according to James Garbarino, a
national expert on emotional abuse, is the persistent,
chronic pattern that "erodes and corrodes a child" (1994).
Many experts concur that emotional abuse is typically
not an isolated incident.
Why Does It Happen?
Emotional abuse can, and does, happen in all types of
families, regardless of their background. Most parents
want the best for their children. However, some parents
may emotionally and psychologically harm their children
because of stress, poor parenting skills, social isolation,
lack of available resources or inappropriate expectations
of their children. They may emotionally abuse their children because the parents or caregivers were emotionally
abused themselves as children.
What Are the Effects of Emotional Abuse?
Douglas Besharov states in Recognizing Child Abuse:
A Guide for the Concerned, "Emotional abuse is an assault on the child’s psyche, just as physical abuse is an
assault on the child’s body"(1990). Children who are
constantly ignored, shamed, terrorized or humiliated suffer at least as much, if not more, than if they are physically assaulted. Danya Glaser (2002) finds that emotional
abuse can be "more strongly predictive of subsequent impairments in the children’s development than the severity
of physical abuse."
An infant who is severely deprived of basic emotional
nurturance, even though physically well cared for, can
fail to thrive and can eventually die. Babies with less severe emotional deprivation can grow into anxious and insecure children who are slow to develop and who have
low self-esteem.
Although the visible signs of emotional abuse in children can be difficult to detect, the hidden scars of this
type of abuse manifest in numerous behavioral ways, including insecurity, poor self-esteem,destructive behavior,
angry acts (such as fire setting and animal cruelty), withdrawal, poor development of basic skills, alcohol or drug

abuse, suicide, difficulty forming relationships and unstable job histories.
Emotionally abused children often grow up thinking
that they are deficient in some way. A continuing tragedy
of emotional abuse is that, when these children become
parents, they may continue the cycle with their own children.
Identifying and Preventing Emotional Abuse
Some children may experience emotional abuse only,
without ever experiencing another form of abuse. However, emotional abuse typically is associated with and results from other types of abuse and neglect, which makes
it a significant risk factor in all child abuse and neglect
cases. Brassard, Germain, and Hart (1987, as cited in
Pecora et al., 2000) assert that emotional abuse is "inherent in all forms of child maltreatment."
Emotional abuse that exists independently of other
forms of abuse is the most difficult form of child abuse
to identify and stop. This is because child protective
services must have demonstrable evidence that harm to a
child has been done before they can intervene. And, since
emotional abuse doesn’t result in physical evidence such
as bruising or malnutrition, it can be very hard to diagnose.
Researchers have developed diagnostic tools to help
professionals who work with children and families identify and treat emotional abuse. Professionals are taught to

Former Bolivian President critiques Brazilian
presidential hopeful Marina Silva
jeremy bamidele
On Sept. 12, 2014
former Bolivian
president and vice
president, from
2003 to 2005 and
2002 to 2003 respectively, Carlos
Mesa visited the Inn
at Penn, located on
the University of
Pennsylvania's campus, to deliver a
speech on the future
of Latin America.
The speaking engagement was followed by a question and answer session.
The event was sponsored by the Penn: Program on
Democracy, Citizenship, and Constitutionalism, political
science department, La Casa Latina, and the Latin America and Latino Studies Program. The event was headed
by event coordinator Matthew Roth of the University of
Pennsylvania's School of Arts and Sciences.
"There are different steps in the growth and transformation in society that we can consider irreversible,"
globalization being one of them. Of particular importance to Mesa, is the nationalization of mineral deposits
and fair and free trade. He spoke of the migration of educated individuals out of Latin America as a consequence
of globalization.
He asserted that neo-liberalism which shares many
commonalities with socialism is not a reaction to communist Russia, but instead a reaction to the failure of capitalism in Latin America. "We are in a Latin America that
is post neo-liberal," he stated. He is not unaware of the
assumptions that come with the word neo-liberal and
quickly clarifies his statement stating, "At no time have
the countries of ALBA been near the path of socialism."
Rather, he states, "We (Latin America) are in a position
of socialism that is leaning to the left, but is not radical."
He insured his audience that a socialist economy is not
necessarily linked to a communist political system. He
predicted that the future of democracy in Latin America
will, "suffer neither to the left or the right."

American countries are more powerful than their respective national governments. This is a threat to its constituents and democracy.
"The first issue of Latin America is the lack of security
of citizens." He speaks about the effect that American
drug policy, specifically in California, could have on neutralizing the effects of the drug market on Latin American governments. "If California were to legalize
marijuana, the American government would change its
reasoning to drugs around the world."
"Where are we (Latin America) and where are we
going?" questions Mesa. Its development is hinged on
the approaching election cycles. "The most important
election of all is in Brazil," he states. He characterizes
Marina Silva, a candidate in Brazil's next presidential
election as, "unpredictable." As for Bolivian elections,
Mesa's bet is on the presidential victory of Evo Morales,
the current president of Bolivia seeking a third term.
Overall, Mesa describes his position towards the future
of Latin America as, "optimistic."
Carlos Mesa and Jeremy Bamidele

Mesa was asked about Latin America's ability to develop a transnational model similar to that of the EU. He
responded, "I have no doubt," that Latin America can
achieve this. However, he does list several obstacles to
the unification of Latin America through trans-national
agreements including partisanship preventing economic
cooperation.
"The War on drugs has been a failure." "The consequences of American trafficking, drug trafficking, is quite
devastating." He asserts that the mafias in many Latin

“To everything there is a
season, and a time to every
purpose under the heaven.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1
Time is among our most
valuable possessions.
Every person has twenty
four hours each day he
lives. Some make use of
time and some waste it
away.
At best the time of our
present lives is short. It can only be from the
cradle to the grave. Only God knows how long
that will be. One poet said it like this:
“I have only just a minute,
Only sixty seconds in it,
Forced upon me, Can’t refuse it,
Didn’t seek it, didn’t chose it,
But it’s up to me to use it.
I must suffer if I lose it,
Give account if I abuse it;
Just a tiny little minuteBut eternity is in it.”
Often we live as if time were ours to spend as we
please. When we realize it never waits but is continually
passing, it as often too late. Time waits for no one. Time
can never be recalled.
One afternoon a small boy failed to return home from
school. The mother became alarmed but waited for the
return of the father from work. When the father had exhausted himself looking over the neighborhood he called
Reality TV
shows like The Real Housewives of Atlanta, which features a predominantly African American, female cast and
is the most successful show in Bravo TV’s history, drawing in four million viewers each week, according to
Bravo TV. With the popularity of other shows, such as
Basketball Wives, Love & Hip Hop, and Bad Girls Club,
there is no paucity of negative portrayals of African
American women on television. As research suggests,
viewers draw upon reality television shows to make social judgments. If the primary portrayals of African
American women are images of aggression hyper-sexuality, and vulgarity, the research questions for this study
then becomes: How do viewers of reality television
shows that feature predominantly African American
women perceive the women on these shows, and do they
resist the stereotypes?” The Reality of Televised Jezebels

thinking what we see is real, hip and cool.
America is fascinated with Black Reality shows no
matter how perverse and degrading they are. In fact it
seems as though Hollywood is continuously pushing the
bounds of decency and decorum to project us as total imbeciles, low-lifers, thugs, skeezers and vixens and we, in
our mindlessness love it! Worse yet we are imitating
what we see on the idiot box because we think its real.
If we are to ever get ourselves together, we have to
control our own images and tell uplifting and redemptive
stories. Hollywood is not going to do it! The Internet is a
popular medium we can use that to produce high quality,
inexpensive reality programs about our successes, our
freedom fighters warriors and healers. Chuck D was a pioneer in using the Internet to produce a positive Hip Hop
soap opera. I have been involved with Internet radio for
almost fifteen years and one station I’m on www.harambeeradio.com is moving to incorporate Internet TV into
its daily programming. Another station www.Blakeradio.com used to stream videos before they became popular so we can do this. We have to learn to decode and
decipher the media or what Bell Hooks calls mental decolonization and then use it for our own edification and
entertainment. Don’t believe the hype, reality TV ain’t

the child’s teacher.
“He had to stay in after school,” the teacher told the
distracted father. “He made very poor grades this
month.”
“He asked me to help him with his arithmetic, but I
was so busy,” the father said.
Two days later when the body of the child was found,
the sad story was completed. Rather than face taking
home poor grades he had gone out into the woods and
frozen to death.
“Oh if I had just taken time to help my boy!” the father
said over and over, but he could not call back the past.
Some of the saddest words to be heard on this earth
are, “Too Late.”
Time is so precious we should give careful consideration to its proper use.
Jesus said in Matthew 6:33, “Seek ye the kingdom of
God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be
added unto you. “ Do we have time not to put first things
first?
In I Corinthians 7:29 Paul said. “But this I say,
brethren, time is short.”
The first thing for all to do is to seek the Lord. “Seek
ye the Lord while he may be found.”
The second thing is to serve the Lord. All other things
will then fall into their rightful places.
The story is told of a young minister who wanted very
much to make a trip to attend a convention. He did not
have the money and his church was too poor to send him.
He felt discouraged and alone; all the other ministers in
his district were going.
At noon the day before time to go, his wife placed the
morning mail beside his plate.
When he opened the first letter a check fluttered out
and fell to the floor. The check was for an amount large
enough to pay the convention expenses. The accompanying letter said: “A gift for you because you took time to
teach me the right way when I was confused.”
The right use of his time paid off, when he expected it
least, and needed it most.
“The Clock of Life”
The clock of life is wound but once
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hand will stopAt late or early hour
Now is the only time you own!
Live, love, toil with will;
Place not faith in “tomorrow” for
The clock may then be still.

Youth Summit
Grammy-nominated producer and songwriter Carvin
Haggins recently moderated “Behavior Behind the
Music,” a Youth Summit event hosted by Chester Community Charter School (CCCS), the largest K-8 charter
school in Pennsylvania, wherein panelists shared, with
more than 800 middle school students, the importance of
understanding messaging in music, and adopting positive
attitudes and behaviors. The school’s fourth installment
was held at CCCS’s east and west campuses, in Chester,
PA.
The event was the culmination of a school-wide contest in which students submitted original song compositions, essays and poster drawings around the event’s
theme. CCCS East Campus eighth-grader, Emiyah
Watkins, was awarded the grand prize for her essay discussing how music with provocative subject matter affects how she and her peers interact with one another.
Music entrepreneur Walter Reeder, Jr., CEO and
founder of Big Bloc Entertainment, and recording artist
BriaMaria shared their experiences as industry professionals and their conscious choice to create and support
positive artists and lyrics.
BriaMarie remarked, “When I first began recording, a
songwriter wanted me to sing very explicit lyrics that
made me uncomfortable. But, I stood up for myself and
refused. It didn’t represent me, nor did I want my parents
or others to hear negative words or phrases in my songs,”
she continued. “Since that day, I’ve made it my mission
to create music that makes you feel good about yourself,
your friends and community.” Sharon Jackson-Haynes,
behavioral specialist, also joined Reeder and BriaMarie,
on the panel.
The event, which was held on CCCS’s East and West
Campuses, continued with a Q&A session among CCCS
middle-schoolers and panelists, and musical performances by the CCCS Choir and singer/songwriter Carol
Riddick.
Chester Community Charter CEO Dr. David Clark,
said, “Each time we hold this program, the students bring
creativity and originality to their essays and drawings.
They welcome our guest speakers with respect, and take
away life lessons they will carry beyond their experiences, here, at Chester Community Charter School.”

Ask Mr. Robinson your social security question
Social security
patrick l. robinson, sr.
Question: How
can I protect myself
against identity
theft?
Answer: First,
don’t carry your Social Security card
with you. Keep it secure at home with
your other important
papers. Second, don’t
readily give out your Social Security
number. While many banks, schools,
doctors, landlords, and others will request your number, it is your decision
whether to provide it. Ask if there is
some other way to identify you in their
records. If you are the victim of identity
theft, you should report it right away. To report identity
theft, fraud, or misuse of your Social Security number,
the Federal Trade Commission (the nation’s consumer
protection agency) recommends you: Place a fraud alert
on your credit file by contacting one of the following
companies (the company you contact is required to contact the other two, which will then place alerts on your
reports):Equifax, 1-800-525-6285;Trans Union, 1-800680-7289; or Experian, 1-888-397-3742. 2. Review your
credit report for inquiries from companies you have not
contacted, accounts you did not open, and debts on your
accounts you cannot explain; 3. Close any accounts you
know, or believe, have been tampered with or opened
fraudulently; 4. File a report with your local police or the
police in the community where the identity theft took
place; and 5. File a complaint with the Federal Trade
Commission at 1-877-438-4338 (TTY 1-866-653-4261).
Question: Can I conduct my Social Security business
online in the event of a hurricane or other disaster that
keeps me from visiting an office?
Answer: Yes, you can conduct most of your business
with Social Security online at www.socialsecurity.gov,
where you’ll find a wealth of information and services.
For example, you can create or access your own my Social Security account, apply online for Social Security
benefits or Medicare, and check the status of your pending application. If you’re already receiving Social Secu-

rity benefits, you can change your address, phone number, or your direct deposit information, get a replacement
Medicare card, or get an instant proof of income letter.
You also can get your Social Security Statement online.
Your Statement lets you check and verify your earnings
record and see estimates of your future benefits. You also
can find out if your local office is open at www.socialsecurity.gov/emergency. That site lists any office closings
and delays. Also, make sure you receive your benefits
electronically. While the mail can be disrupted during severe weather or other emergencies, electronic payments
arrive in your account on time, all the time, no matter
what. Go to www.socialsecurity.gov/deposit to sign up or
get more information.
Question: I’m retired and the only income I have is
from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Are my
IRA withdrawals considered “earnings?” Could they reduce my monthly Social Security benefits?
Answer: No. We count only the wages you earn from a
job or your net profit if you’re self-employed. Non-work
income such as annuities, investment income, interest,
capital gains, and other government benefits are not
counted and will not affect your Social Security benefits.
Most pensions will not affect your benefits. However,
your benefit may be affected by a government pension
from work on which you did not pay Social Security tax.
For more information, visit our website at www.socialsecurity.gov or call us toll free at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1800-325-0778).
Question: How do I earn a Social Security Credit?
Answer: Social Security credits, sometimes referred to
as quarters of coverage, are the measure of your work
under Social Security. You earn Social Security credits
when you work and pay Social Security taxes. The credits are based on the amount of your earnings. In 2014,
you receive one credit for each $1,200 of earnings, up to
the maximum of 4 credits per year. Each year, the
amount of earnings needed for a credit goes up slightly
as average earnings levels increase. Generally, a person
needs 40 credits or 10 years to be eligible for retirement
benefits. There are special rules for the self-employed.
Read more about self-employment and Social Security in
our online publication, If You Are Self Employed, available at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs. To learn the amount
of earnings required for Social Security credits for prior

Question: How can I apply for Supplemental Security
Income (SSI)?
Answer: If you are applying for SSI based on a disability, you can start the process by going online to complete
the disability report at www.socialsecurity.gov/disabilityssi/ssi.html. Then you can call us toll free at 1-800772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) to schedule an
appointment with a Social Security representative. When
you meet with a representative, bring the items listed in
our online publication, Supplemental Security Income
(SSI), available at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs. Even if
you do not have all of the things listed, apply anyway.
The Social Security staff in your local office can provide
guidance to help you get the information you need.
Question: I was turned down for Supplemental Security
Income (SSI); can I appeal the decision?
Answer: If you disagree with a decision made on your
SSI claim, you can appeal it. Learn more about appealing a decision, including how to submit your appeal online, at www.socialsecurity.gov/disabilityssi/appeal.html.
Question: Does Social Security provide special services or information for people who are blind or visually
impaired?
Answer: Yes. Social Security offers a number of services and products specifically designed for people who
are blind or visually impaired. If you are blind or visually
impaired, you can choose to receive notices and other information from Social Security in ways that may be more
convenient for you. To find out more about this service,
go to our page, If You Are Blind Or Visually Impaired —
Your Choices For Receiving Information from Social Security, at www.socialsecurity.gov/notices. Or call our
toll-free number for more information at 1-800-7721213, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, or

to read it to you.

Emotional abuse
identify risk factors for emotional abuse, ask appropriate
questions about a family’s history and the family’s present behaviors, and provide appropriate resources (such as
financial resources, mental health services or parenting
classes) to help parents and caregivers create safe, stable
environments for their children and themselves.
What You Can Do
All children need acceptance, love, encouragement,
discipline, consistency, stability and positive attention.
What can you do when you feel your behavior toward
your child is not embodying these qualities but is bordering on emotional abuse? Here are some suggestions:
Never be afraid to apologize to your child. If you lose
your temper and say something in anger that wasn’t
meant to be said, apologize. Children need to know that
adults can admit when they are wrong.
Don’t call your child names or attach labels to your
child. Names such as "Stupid" or "Lazy," or phrases like
"good for nothing," "You’ll never amount to anything,"
"If you could only be more like your brother," and "You
can never do anything right" tear at a child’s self-esteem.
A child deserves respect.
Address the behavior that needs correcting and use appropriate discipline techniques, such as time outs or natural consequences. Be sure to discuss the child’s behavior
and the reason for the discipline, both before and imme-

Question: How do I know if I’ve worked long enough
to get Social Security disability benefits?
Answer: To get Social Security disability benefits, you
must meet the definition of disability under the Social
Security Act. And you must have worked long enough—
and recently enough—under Social Security to qualify
for disability benefits. The amount of work you need to
qualify for disability benefits depends on your age when
you become disabled. Generally, you need 10 years of
work, and that must include working 5 out of the last 10
years, ending with the year you become disabled. However, younger workers may qualify with as little as one
and one half years of work earned in the three-year period ending when the disability starts. See our Disability
Planner at www.socialsecurity.gov/dibplan/dqualify3.htm
for credit requirements at different ages.
Question: I want to apply for Extra Help with
Medicare prescription drug costs. Can state agencies
also help with my Medicare costs?
Answer: When you file your application for Extra Help
with Medicare prescription drug (Medicare Part D) costs,
you also can start your application process for the
Medicare Savings Programs—state programs that provide help with other Medicare costs. When you apply for
Extra Help, Social Security will send information to your
state unless you tell us not to on the application. Your
state will contact you to help you apply for a Medicare
Savings Program. To apply for Extra Help and learn
more, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/extrahelp. While
we’re on the subject of open seasons, the open enrollment period for qualified health plans under the Affordable Care Act is November 15 to February 15. Learn
more about it at www.healthcare.gov.

diately after you discipline. Discipline should be provided to correct your child’s behavior, rather than to punish or humiliate him or her.
Compliment your child when he or she accomplishes
even a small task, or when you see good behavior.
Walk away from a situation when you feel you are losing control. Isolate yourself in another room for a few
minutes (after first making sure the child is safe), count
to 10 before you say anything, ask for help from another
adult or take a few deep breaths before reacting.
Get help. Support is available for families at risk of
emotional abuse through local child protection services
agencies, community centers, churches, physicians, mental health facilities and schools.

Happy Birthday Scorpio Thursday 6:57am E.S.T
Venus enters Scorpio Thursday 3:52pm E.S.T
Scorpio New Moon Thursday 4:57pm E.S.T
ARIES - March 21- April 19
Compulsion can turn you into someone you don’t
recognize doing things that make you scratch your head. Instead, focus on your creativity and find a project you are
reasonably passionate about. Best numbers 8 and 0.
TAURUS - April 20 - May 20
The Sun truly shines on you this week, giving
you the necessary energy to take charge of your life. Gone is
listlessness and in its place is an incredible amount of spontaneity. Best numbers 1 and 6.
GEMINI - May 21 - June 21
Necessary work of all kinds, whether it’s your
job, home responsibilities, health habits or emotional processing consumes every waking moment, leaving you wading through a mountain of stress. Best numbers 7 and 9.
CANCER - June 22 - July 22
You’re pretty mellow, so whatever challenges
come your way you greet them with grace and
hard work. You make significant progress finishing something that’s been hanging over your head. Best numbers 1
and 5.
LEO - July 23 - August 22
You feel like you’re dancing as fast as you can,
but the demands coming from yourself and others seem beyond your capacity to satisfy. The solution: Stop and Adjust
your Attitude. Best numbers 9 and 6.
VIRGO - August 23 - September 22
Intensely irritated you need to be careful not to
take your innate bluntness too far. The truth is everyone’s
bugging you and your capacity for being nonjudgmental is
on vacation. Best numbers 0 and 8.
LIBRA - September 23 - October 22
Keep it simple this week by just being yourself.
No need to like everybody, please everybody, or
tolerant of everything. Do us all a favor and be human. Best
numbers 22 and 5.
SCORPIO - October 23 - November 21
Your feeling are just fine, as long as you leave
them alone, right? If your extreme reaction is any indication
there’s a lot you don’t know about yourself. Well take a
look within. Best numbers 1 and 0.
SAGITTARIUS - November 22 - Dececember 21
The only question, is who are you hiding from?
You might be thinking that you haven’t been a shining example of anything lately; accept the disappointment, then
move on. Best numbers 2 and 5.
CAPRICORN -December 22 - January 19
Projects get finished and questions get clarified this week. You’re almost not sure what to do with
yourself because there’re no problems solve. Just relax and
enjoy the easy times. Best numbers 07 and 0.
AQUARIUS - January 20 - February 18
Opportunity comes your way; but before you
jump into anything take a good look. Everything’s not as straight forward as you’d like it to be. Acknowledge that and things shift positively. Best numbers 7
and 4.
PISCES - February 19 - March 20
Still unimpressed by last month’s stalling pattern, you are determined to make things happen, if only by
the sheer force of your will. Unfortunately, patience is still
required. Best numbers 3 and 32.
