Mrs.Cipriano

I realized how close of a family the staff, and the patients actually were. I am really happy that they accepted me as the person I am, and giving me that oppurtunity to work with them. I was only there for half of the quarter, but I feel like I got to know each and everyone of the patients on a different level. To know that they trust me with what they are telling me made me feel accepted, and happy to go there. My supervisor assigned me to do numerous tasks during my time there. On Tuesday and Wednesday I had to put together different games for the patients, staff, and also for myself to enjoy playing. We played hop scotch outside, checkers, mancala, bingo, and played dominoes. It was hard in the beginning, but my supervisor wanted me to explain how to play, and I didn’t know how to explain myself and make sense. I wasn;t sure I could get through the day, but I did and had a wonderful time. We played hop scotch outside in the backyard. We were in groups of three. My team was Lori, Mari-Ann, and Cheryl we were called “The Power Crew” a name that we had all agreed on, and thought it fit us perfectly. During the activity, I learned how to play as a team player with the other woman. Even when it is a small game, I always want to be on my own winning. I realized that there was no I in TEAM. It wasn’t only me, I had three wonderful woman beside me playing the game. I know they had a wonderful time, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them smile as much as they did in one day. I was happy that, that day was spent with me. Just know, game day was a success. The best part was having them to teach me how to play mancala. I had completely forgotten how to play, and I couldn’t believe it because that was my childhood favorite game. Cheryl, and Mari-Ann guided me throughtout the game until I understood it. Yeah it was easy to catch onto, but

My Guardian Angel

...Niah Cummings Journeys: Narrative #2: First Draft Every little girl's dream is to have both her mother and father in their life. To cherish every single moment with her parents, create memories, and to reminisce about all the times they had. It was always my wish to have both Mommy and Daddy in my life, but my story is different. At the age of seventeen my mother gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and named her Niah Dominique Cummings. Growing up, I knew for a fact that I had my mother in my life, but I hardly ever saw my father. I came to my senses that there was no father. My mother finally filled me in and told me that my father had moved to Atlanta, Georgia two days after I was born. Which basically meant he was not there the day I was born. It was heartbreaking to hear, but I had to face it. I didn't know what it felt like to have that father figure in my life. To have Daddy tuck me in at night, telling me every day how beautiful I was, to give me kisses on the cheek or forehead, to drop me off at school every morning, or to even tell me that I was his little princess. All I had was my mother, who had struggled since she was sixteen years old. The year before I was born my mother gave birth to a handsome, talented, intelligent, and smart young man. She named him Kazre Lamont Cummings. He is my older brother and is now seventeen years old. The year after I was born, she had another boy who was given the name Darnell Taylor Robert Jr., following after his father. At...

...Bird’s Nest Market in Taiwan Bird’s nest soup is a delicacy in Chinese cuisine, it has been considered as a highly nutritious and luxury food supplement for people’s mind. The Chinese name for bird's nest soup, “Yan Wao” (燕窩), translates literally as "swallow's nest". This soup has been consumed in both China and Taiwan for over excess of 1000 years.  According to Yun-Cheung Kong, a professor of biochemistry at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, swiftlet nests were first traded in China during the T’ang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.). Sometime between the years 1368 and 1644, Admiral Cheng He introduced foreign nests to the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty. It is believed that even at this point in time domestic supplies of the nests had been largely depleted, which made imports in high demand.  Edible bird’s nests are among the most expensive animal products consumed by humans. The material is also used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and in Traditional Vietnamese Medicine. Harvesting Swiftlets (collocaliini) are tiny insectivorous birds that are distributed from the Indian Ocean, through Southeast Asia including Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia and North Australia to the Pacific. The small birds eat insects only and catch these insects on the fly as they fly from nearly first light until nearly dark.  Amongst various species of swiftlets in the genus of Collocalia, only the nests of four species mostly spread throughout Southeast Asian region have...

Bird's Nest

.....:: Jordan Research - Publications ::.. http://www.jordanresearch.co.uk/pubs.html NAVIGATION Home UK Consultancy Overseas Publications GLOBALISATION AND BIRD'S NEST SOUP David Jordan This is an amended version of an article first published in International Development Planning Review, Volume 26, Number 1, Liverpool University Press, 2004 Summary Almost un-noticed by outsiders, an extraordinary industry has emerged in Indonesia to meet a specialised demand from the nouveau riche of the Peoples’ Republic of China (PRC). This industry produces the prime ingredient of the famous bird’s nest soup, also used in traditional Chinese medicines and cosmetics. It is an urban industry, using substantial specially designed buildings, that has transformed a number of Indonesian towns. So far there has been little serious research into this phenomenon. The Indonesian government statistical agency (Badan Pusat Statistik) confesses that the industry output, though considerable, is not captured by its GDP estimates. Enquiries are hampered by the secretive behaviour of the practitioners, who jealously guard their trade secrets. The author is an economist/planner who first observed the phenomenon when conducting fieldwork for an urban development project in North Sumatera. He is currently preparing a research project on the subject to be carried out in association with Badan Pusat Statistik. The nests of bird’s nest soup are produced by the genus aerodramus (formerly collocallia)...
