Auntie Fee

A Life Worth Living

... a private school in upstate New York. Even the book that Shorris had written — Riches for the Poor — offended Emily. “That title just bothered me. It sort of implies, like, here we come with our Plato and Shakespeare, you lucky poor people,” she says. “It isn’t a mutual, reciprocal, human aspiration kind of thing.”. So she and Feraca and created their own course with an emphasis on multicultural writers and historians. She needed funding, a building, volunteer teachers and childcare services for students. And she needed to convince UW-Madison to accredit the class. But she had a name: the Odyssey Project. Avé Thorpe (left) and Emily Auerbach review a Shakespeare assignment. A week after Avé moved into the Salvation Army in 2001, the shelter secured her a job at the Madison post office. Two weeks later, she gave birth to her son. A week after that, the shelter found her an apartment. Avé, then 20, 15-month-old Javé and 5-day-old Jerry moved into their first Madison home. “It was pretty nice but it was on Allied Drive,” she says ...

Auntie' Should Care How Fee Is Collected

... of high quality television and radio programmes and, for many elderly people, the television set or the radio may be their most constant companion. It is right and proper that the licence fee - which is the corporation's main funding mechanism - should be paid to ensure that these broadcasts continue. We only have to look at the work of Stephen Nolan locally in exposing the RHI debacle to see the value of a well-funded public broadcaster. It should also be pointed out that the task of gathering the licence fee is not carried out by the BBC directly, but by an outsourced company, Capita. There are suggestions the company could be over-zealous in its pursuit of fees because it operates with an incentive scheme. While the BBC may not be hands-on in the collection of the licence fee, however, it is done in its name and, if the operation is perceived to be callous or insensitive, then that will reflect ...

Donations Pour In After Student's Plea On Social Media

... bulging with donations after he explained his plight on social media. Athiwat Witpichitchai, 18, graduated with a good record from Buriram Pittayakhom school and was accepted by the faculty of engineering at Kasetsart University, but he did not have 36,000 baht to pay the tuition fee due this Wednesday. Mr Athiwat and his mother were left alone after his father took off when he was 4-years-old. His mother later re-married and the couple made a reasonable living selling food at a market. He helped with the business and earned a little money. A problem arose when his mother died suddenly just before the New Year. His stepfather then refused to allow him to continue working with him and he was left without an income. Fortunately, he still had a place to live as his mother had set him up in a separate room before she died. ...

Intro To Arabic Class Draws A Diverse Mix Of Seasoned Students

... to serve hot or cold. Now try it following along in a language that uses rules and an alphabet foreign to most English-speakers. That was the challenge during a recent installment of the “Basic Arabic for Beginners,” which since late last year has been part of the Arlington County government’s Office of Senior Adult Programs’ curriculum. Held at Arlington Mill Community Center, the class has drawn a band of eager seasoned-citizen-students to give it a go, despite challenges. “Grammar is very complicated. Sounds are very different – sounds that don’t exist in English or Spanish,” acknowledged Sara Sheldon, who has been studying Arabic for three months and is beginning to get proficient. It was Sheldon who provided the recipe for the cabbage salad, part of a day’s coursework that included learning Arabic words for fruits, vegetables and cooking terms. Overseeing the course – part drill instructor, part helpful auntie – was Malak ...

Auntie Fee’s Cooking Show An Online Sensation

... I don’t got no @#$%&! name for it yet, @#$%&!”. “Why you gonna put sugar in (the macaroni and cheese) for?”. “@#$%&! For the kids!”. “Why is that a little burned on top?”. “No, no. Damn it. It’s not @#$%&! burnt, Tavis. Don’t start.”. As soon as her videos go up, viewers roll in. You Tube cuts Fee a check each month based on those clicks. Her sons decided to post the first video on a whim to tease their mother. Her recipes, Marlon told her, needed to be recorded for after she’s gone. “Why do I gotta die?” Fee said. “Why can’t I just go blind or senile?”. The last six months have been a roller coaster ride of emotions and growing pains for the 57-year-old. She’s still not sure how to log on to Facebook. And all the negative comments she receives. In the beginning she wanted Hunter to find the commenters’ home addresses so she could drive to their doorsteps and set them straight. They call her illiterate, unsanitary, scripted — a bad example for other black folks. They say her dishes will send you to an early grave. But Fee stands by her food. She packs on the butter, the sugar and the grease. She loves bacon, and she’s ...

... Avery helped carry on a long-standing tradition for the Coast's only predominately African American Krewe to parade. The parade welcomes all participants and doesn't charge an entry fee.

Christian Group Claims Bbc Is Trying Covertly To Islamise The Uk, Petition Gains Support

... Such an attitude displays not just contempt, but is a betrayal of the principles and values on which the UK is founded.'. At the weekend it was announced that the BBCs flagship Christian programme Songs of Praise will no longer be produced by the BBC. In a post published on their website today , VFJUK wrote: 'So how long before Songs of Praise becomes Celebration from the Mosque? And how long before Christianity is quietly dropped, because Muslims classify anyone and everyone who doesn't follow Islam as unbelievers? The Koran, after all, is not noted for its tolerance towards other religions.'. It adds: 'Yes, the BBC will assure us this is arrant nonsense, because Islam is a religion of peace, and Auntie is committed to multiculturalism – while Christianity remains central to the Corporation's religious output. But. can we really rely on what they say?' The BBC brought back the position of head of religious broadcasting after announcing the role had been dropped last year. VFJUK say that the head of ...

How To Invest For Your Children

... and say “moo” to his farmyard book, would get a cheap but unexciting global index tracker. This would hopefully compound away gradually, with no high fees to eat into his returns. A dual strategy approach would have made a great column in 18 years’ time — although the poorer twin may have disowned me. But I am unlikely to be FT Money editor in the year 2035. This got me thinking about ageing fund managers. Would the household names of today still be doing their thing nearly two decades hence? Going down the active route would mean we’d have to review the twins’ Jisas more regularly. All things considered, we got started with a global index tracker. I chose one from the Vanguard Life Strategy range, which I also hold within my own stocks and shares Isa. The asset allocation is managed for you, as it consists of 14 underlying Vanguard trackers (you can vary the weighting of equities to bonds) covering both the developed world and emerging markets.

Needle Sweeps Part Of Morning Routine At Strathcona Playground

... food programs and relies on private donors to fill additional gaps. For example, the preschoolers have a serving of dairy each morning because one donor, whom they call the “cheese and milk man,” gives a dollar for each one of the 40 youngest kids every weekday of the month. “There are kids who don’t have milk to drink at home,” said Light. Veronica Light searches for trash beneath a slide. Photo Dan Toulgoet. The Strathcona Community Centre Association, along with 13 other associations, is in favour of a wealth distribution model that would see more affluent centres fund poorer ones in other neighbourhoods. Not all associations support this. Representatives from West Side associations, for example, have argued the community they serve is specific to only those living near its centres. “It’s not fair for these kids to go hungry,” said Light. “So, yes, it is not our job, and I recognize that a society should not rely on the park board giving money and assistance to feed children because, if all things were working great, there would be no need and no starving children. But I am telling you right now, there are some very ...

Auntie Fee, Foul-mouthed Cooking Sensation, Says Her Food Is @#$%& Good

... That's the thing about Auntie Fee, as she's known to family. You either get her or you don't. And now that she's got a bit of stardom, she'll be damned if she's gonna let it go — at least not before she makes a little money. She'd love her own reality show, but she's too raw for prime time, perhaps even cable. So she posts videos on You Tube. She cooks and Hunter records with his cellphone. His simplest questions often set her off. "What do you call that?". "@#$%&! I don't got no @#$%&! name for it yet, @#$%&!". "Why you gonna put sugar in [the macaroni and cheese] for?". "@#$%&! For the kids!". "Why is that a little burned on top?". "No, no. Damn it. It's not @#$%&! burnt, Tavis. Don't start.". As soon as her videos go up, viewers roll in.
