The Christian Church and other religious groups have long been associated with doing charity work wherever such ministry is needed. Constantine was a Christian emperor of Rome, and he is the first ruler on record as having funded the Christian Church's alms work. In the 1800s in England and the United States, the first government programs began for social work that paved the way for the work and education of social workers today. 

England was a leader in establishing laws and programs to help the poor and needy within its borders. The laws provided for low-income and less fortunate people to fit into categories that would serve them in the best way. As examples, the able-to-work poor were in a different category from the infirm and helped according to their need. 

In the United States, a growing problem was the overwhelming number of immigrants who arrived in the country and had no money or means of support. Aid programs sprang up and individuals and organizations donated time, supplies, food and medical help to the stricken people. Eventually, hospitals saw the need for some type of social workers and hired skilled nurses for the task. Massachusetts General Hospital was the first with others soon to follow that employed nurses as social workers. 

Today, social workers are often on the front lines in the fight against social injustices. They work with the poor and needy and strive to protect human rights. Those interested in a career in this field find many private and public colleges and universities that offer social work degrees. These institutions of higher learning are a positive presence in local communities, and they advertise on radio and television as well as in relevant printed material and webpages. They will sometimes list their bachelor's degree and masters degree in social work in the advertisements. Especially do they advertise social work coursework to target audiences on the internet. 

Social workers hours or benefits might be cut when the economy is struggling, and more social workers may be hired during times of economic highs. However, those in government realize that the poor need the social work programs in place. Schools offering education for careers in the social work field encourage students to enter this career path by showing the accomplishments and rewards of working for social needs. Certainly, government-funded social work and programs will continue into the foreseeable future.

This week is a fun-filled one with the celebration of our school's Intramurals with the theme: Heroes Revolution. I didn't really joined the fun because I was stuck at the office checking my student's projects. On my way out, I read this tarpaulin and I might as well share it here:)

What's the advantage for this year's Intrams was that the Gym was already available for use. Unlike on the previous years, we have to rent for almost a hundred thousand to Lim Ket Kai Atrium for the cheer dance and the MUST pageant. And oh by the way, speaking of MUST Pageant, I am so proud of the newly crowned Ms MUST, she was my student before in High school. Danica Tacbas is very intelligent girl and she truly deserves the crown!

The Intramurals will commence on September 28, 2013. Be there and have fun!

Last September 11, I filed for renewal of my License at the PRC. I am so glad that finally I was able to do it. I supposed to have it renewed on the year 2010 but for some personal reasons, I opted to delay the renewal and I can't believe it took me three years before I finally have it. Because of that lapses on my part, I wasn't able to apply for the government, which I regretted so much. I just realized the importance of being in the government and I knew I've lost so much opportunities.

Now that I have my renewed license, I am hoping and praying that I could make it in the next ranking schedule. I am praying for God's favor. I need to work it out before the next summer. I love my current job right now but I don't have a security of tenure, I don't get paid during summers and worst of all, it's a no work, no pay scheme. I've wasted a lot of time before realizing the importance of having a permanent job.

I am declaring that the year 2014 IS MY YEAR, The year when I'll be hired in the government, the year of financial breakthrough! Yes, Lord, thanks for your provision. I know I can do all things with the strength coming from You!

A unique feature of the Apple Logic Pro 9 certification pathway is the ability to earn a master certification, the highest level of certification that Apple has to offer. Unlike the other certification programs, this one combines two certifications into one and offers a higher professional status, which can succinctly demonstrate your abilities to perform the related tasks and be considered as an expert in the product suite. Becoming a master looks great on a resume and is a great way to show your full expertise of the Logic Pro 9 product suite.

What’s also unique is that no additional exam needs to be taken.

Anyway I've got a representative in the person of my hubby LOL! And since it was his first time, I registered him under 3K category only ;D

Every state has their own laws regarding vehicle inspections. If you live in one of the 17 states that requires regular state inspections for vehicles, then you know how frustrating it can be to pay money for a mandatory inspection when you don't need one. Many dealerships and garages offer specials on state inspections to make it less of a hassle. You can find great deals by searching for something like Pennsylvania state inspection. The state inspection special should cover all parts of the mandatory law including emissions and proper operations inspection.

In states where vehicle inspections are required, vehicles must provide a safe experience for both the driver and other vehicles on the road. In some cases, inspections are mandatory ever ear. In Pennsylvania, if your vehicle is over 17,000 pounds, you have to have an inspection every six months. State inspections aren't required for every sate. For example, Florida, Kentucky and Minnesota no longer require inspections with approval from the federal government.
Getting a state inspection means that you have to go to a state-operated garage in most cases. however, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New York, New Hampshire, Maine, Texas, Missouri, Louisiana and North Carolina allow drivers to go to any garage to get their car inspected. This offers the best prices, but you also have to make sure that the garage or service center has approval from the state to give state inspections. Otherwise, your inspection won't count.
Safety and emissions inspections are two separate tests. While some states require an emissions test, others only require a safety inspection.
