Melissia Anson's blog ::Class War Rages Inside the Viper Dens and Out in the Streets










Currently               pregnant               with               my               third               child,               I               have               been               pregnant               two               times               before               and               for               at               least               part               of               both               of               those               I               was               a               part               of               the               WIC               program,               for               this               pregnancy               though               I               am               more               destitute               than               I               was               during               either               of               the               other               two               I               will               not               be.

I               am               however               receiving               Food               Benefits               through               the               EBT               (Electronic               Benefits               Transfer)               here               in               Washington               state,               and               for               a               very               short               period               of               time               in               2006               I               received               them               in               NY,               so               I               will               share               the               experiences               I               have               had               with               those               as               well.

Like               many               people,               I               waited               as               long               as               I               possibly               could               to               even               apply               for               food               stamps.

My               husband               and               I               both               are               for               the               most               part               entrepreneurial               and               kept               on               telling               ourselves               and               each               other               "Something               will               come               through               soon...Something.".

We               are               employable               (aside               from               my               growing               belly!)               and               our               most               recent               jobs               paid               between               $26-125/hr,               I               only               mention               this               because               we               thought               we               were               above               asking               for               help,               but               as               you               will               see               at               the               end,               it               is               absolutely               worth               looking               into               if               you               are               facing               unexpected               hard               times.

Our               ventures               are               looking               good               but               they               are               taking               time               and               a               lot               of               work               without               pay...for               us               it               took               realizing               we               might               lose               our               house               in               the               next               2               months,               having               our               water               shut               off               about               a               week               or               two               ago               (with               electricity               scheduled               to               be               shut               off               the               next               day),               losing               health               insurance,               and               having               nights               we               literally               we               scrounging               the               cupboards               &               fridge               which               had               2+               empty               shelves               to               find               food               for               our               beautiful               children.

Decisions               between               money               going               to               food,               insurance,               gas,               or               bills               were               difficult.
               Last               week               on               Friday               I               decided               to               go               for               it,               I               submitted               the               application               online               and               called               them               yesterday               to               follow               up,               finished               the               interview               on               the               phone,               and               then               today               I               was               able               to               go               pick               up               our               EBT,               or               "Electric               Benefits               Transfer"               card               and               get               some               real               grocery               shopping               done.

For               comparison               in               NYC               I               was               a               single               mom               who               had               just               left               an               abusive               relationship               and               it               took               almost               four               months               to               get               food               stamps,               the               main               complication               being               that               as               I               had               left               where               we               were               living               and               was               staying               with               various               friends,               no               stable               address               was               a               problem.

I               used               WIC               in               NYC               much               more               than               Food               Benefits.
               Why               not               WIC?
               As               I               mentioned,               I               am               pregnant,               it               doesn't               take               much               more               than               that               to               be               able               to               get               WIC               (Women               Infant               Children)               which               provides               only               non-organic               milk,               eggs,               cheese,               beans,               carrots,               cereal,               peanut               butter,               juice               &               sometimes               there               is               vouchers               for               fruits               and               vegetables               too,               though               for               me               that               was               only               in               the               summer               in               NYC               that               I               was               able               to               get               those.

What               I               didn't               mention               is               that               both               myself               and               my               husband,               so               likely               our               children               too,               are               allergic               to               dairy,               eggs,               many               grains               (definitely               gluten),               and               I               am               also               allergic               to               most               beans               &               peanuts.

Also               we               are               a               family               that               takes               the               risks               of               eating               non-organic               food               very               seriously               because               we               have               done               a               lot               of               research               on               the               subject               and               it               is               a               decision               we               have               made               to               get               organic               as               much               as               possible               since               we               eat               a               lot               of               fruits,               vegetables               and               meat               to               avoid               our               allergies.

In               New               York               when               I               was               there               the               WIC               foods               I               got               often               couldn't               be               kept,               we               would               eat               the               cereal               but               leave               the               perishable               milk,               cheese,               and               eggs               at               friends               houses               because               being               in               my               car               most               of               the               time               they               would               not               stay               good.
               Why               not               just               skip               those               items?
               Well,               with               WIC,               you               get               a               check               that               has               a               list               of               very               specific               items               that               you               must               buy               the               items               on               the               check               which               often               has               many               gallons               of               milk,               containers               of               eggs               etc.

Morally,               it               doesn't               seem               right               to               me               that               we               go               get               these               benefits               when               we               will               only               eat               a               fraction               of               what               it               offers,               not               to               mention               increasing               the               popularity               of               a               program               that               is               promoting               such               a               diet               that               is               so               highly               dairy               and               grain               that               neglects               needs               like               fruits               and               vegetables.

We               have               not               had               our               kids               tested               yet               though               we               know               through               our               own               allergy               experiences               that               dairy,               egg,               and               gluten               are               some               of               the               most               common               allergies               and               we               don't               want               to               feed               our               children               a               diet               that               mostly               consists               of               that               kind               of               thing.

Also               the               links               between               diary               or               grains               to               my               diagnosis               of               MS               are               startling,               and               I               don't               want               to               play               any               games               with               that.
               So               What               is               Food               Stamps               or               EBT?
               With               these               benefits,               the               customer/beneficiary               of               the               funds               has               a               lot               more               flexibility,               which               I               do               see               as               something               that               can               be               good               or               bad,               but               for               me               and               my               family               it               is               great.

To               be               able               to               buy               gluten-free               flour               to               cook               with,               goat               milk,               tons               of               fruits               and               vegetables               and               some               organic               meat               too               with               it               is               a               dream               come               true.

Only               limits               with               food               benefits               are               the               amount               of               money               you               have               to               spend               which               depends               on               income               and               that               you               only               use               it               to               purchase               food,               no               diapers               or               toilet               paper               for               instance.
               What               this               means               for               me
               At               this               point,               most               of               the               money               we               have               is               from               these               articles               that               I               am               writing               for               Yahoo,               and               what               this               means               is               that               the               money               I               get               from               that               can               go               towards               gas               to               get               my               husband               to               his               job               interviews,               and               to               get               me               to               my               midwife               appointments               and               my               daughters               to               their               classes.

We               don't               have               to               decide               if               the               4               dollars               we               scrounged               up               in               quarters               will               go               towards               gas               or               if               we               can               get               a               decent               meal               out               of               it               which               is               a               massively               huge               benefit.
               Of               course               once               a               job               does               come               by               we               will               have               to               say               good               bye               to               these               lovely               benefits               but               until               then,               I               feel               much               better               knowing               that               my               kids               are               taken               care               of.

    Even               apart               from               part-time               enrollment               on               campus,               it               is               now               possible               to               fulfill               your               course               requirements               from               home,               with               the               only               interaction               requirement               being               that               you               have               a               working               computer               and               access               to               the               Internet.

    Online               Nursing               schools               are               becoming               increasingly               popular,               for               many               reasons.

    They               are               flexible,               accredited,               and               cost-effective;               and               a               lot               of               the               time               the               student               can               work               at               their               own               pace.

    Overall,               they               provide               benefits               to               a               lot               more               people               than               static               campuses               in               the               traditional               sense               of               education.

    How               much               will               it               cost?
                   Although               it               might               seem               that               the               cost               of               an               Online               Nursing               School               would               be               prohibitive,               it               is,               in               fact,               not               the               case               at               all.

    For               one,               Online               Nursing               Schools,               and               any               online               schools,               for               that               matter,               don't               usually               have               the               inconvenience               of               having               out-of-state               tuition               fees.

    This               cuts               the               cost               down               instantly,               making               it               an               attractive               option               to               the               eager               prospective               nurse.

    Taking               in               the               fact               that               there               is               a               lack               of               transport               costs,               and               it               is               easy               to               see               how               Online               Nursing               Schools               can               be               cheaper               than               normal               tuition.

    In               general,               Online               Nursing               Schools               cost               from               $100               or               so               to               more               than               $250               per               credit.

    With               a               30-credit               course,               this               would               amount               to               an               average               cost               of               $5250               per               30               credits.
                   Can               I               get               Financial               Aid?
                   Financial               Aid               is               often               a               very               important               source               of               financial               help               for               traditional               on-campus               students.

    But               a               lot               of               people               are               unaware               that               many               students               from               online               courses               are               also               eligible               for               Financial               Aid.

    Students               who               are               enrolled               in               any               Online               Nursing               School               have               the               same               entitlements               as               traditional               campus               students,               and               thus               are               eligible               to               apply               for,               and               receive,               any               Financial               Aid               packages               for               which               they               are               qualified.

    All               it               takes               is               some               research               and               diligent               provision               of               information               on               the               application               forms               in               order               to               gain               the               moneys               that               are               made               available               to               students,               particularly               those               who               are               studying               nursing               at               an               Online               Nursing               School.
                   Conclusion               
                   Ultimately,               finding               a               way               to               attend               nursing               school               does               not               have               to               be               difficult.

    After               doing               the               proper               preparation               to               be               awarded               the               ability               to               study               is               simple.

    Financial               aid               also               can               be               achieve               adter               a               student               fills               out               a               FAFSA               form.

    Melissia Anson's blog ::Free online CompSci 101 course from Stanford starts in February 2012










                   If               you               haven't               checked               out               Stanford               University's               free               online               courses,               do               so.

    This               offering               is               another               example               of               a               growing               movement               in               education:               the               effort               to               make               learning               more               accessible               to               people               around               the               globe.
                   For               example,               you               might               be               surprised               to               learn               that               Stanford               courses,               such               as               Machine               Learning,               Introduction               to               Artificial               intellegience,               and               Introduction               to               Databases,               were               offered               free               of               charge               in               an               online               format.
                   Free               seminars,               webinars               and               courses               also               are               announced               on               the               website               of               the               school's               Center               for               Professional               Development               .

    Free               courses               also               are               announced               here               on               this               Stanford               website.
                   If               you're               considering               such               courses,               make               no               mistake               about               it:               These               free               online               offerings               do               not               carry               college               credit,               but               the               content               is               valuable.
                   And,               Stanford               is               not               alone               in               this               effort.

    Other               entities               such               as               California-based               Khan               Academy,               for               example,               offer               free               online               tutorials               on               topics               such               as               biology,               chemistry,               and               physics.

    Other               institutions               of               higher               education,               such               as               MIT,               offer               free               online               classes.
                   Steve               Henn               of               National               Pubic               Radio               takes               you               right               onto               Stanford's               campus               in               a               January               23               NPR               story               about               this               issue.

    Professors,               such               as               computer               expert               Daphne               Koller,               offered               their               assessment.

    "On               the               long-term,               I               think               the               potential               for               this               to               revolutionize               education               is               just               tremendous,"               said               Koller,               who               is               also               a               MacArthur               Genius               Fellow.
                   The               context               and               background               of               this               move               to               offer               free               online               schooling               was               explained               in               Henn's               excellent               five               minute               NPR               story               .

    No               doubt               that               technological               advances               have               enabled               this               movement.

    In               the               NPR               story,               for               example,               Koller               predicts               that               one               day               computer-based               technology               will               allow               instructors               to               teach               a               class               of               100,000               students               as               inexpensively               as               a               class               of               100               students.

    In               that               NPR               report,               Koller               described               what               happened               in               South               Africa               as               prospective               students               clamored               for               classes               there.
                   "In               the               University               of               Johannesburg,               a               few               weeks               ago,               they               had               a               very               small               number               of               places               that               were               still               open,"               Koller               said.

    "And               so,               there               were               thousands               of               people               parked               outside               the               gates,               sitting               there               for               the               gates               to               open,               so               they               could               be               first               in               line               to               register               for               that               limited               number               of               slots.

    And               when               the               gates               opened               there               was               a               stampede."
                   By               throwing               open               the               doors               to               education               "we               hope               to               give               more               learning,               job               and               advancement               opportunities               to               anyone               who               wants               them,"               said               Jennifer               Widom,               chair               of               the               Computer               Science               Department               at               Stanford,               in               a               statement               issued               by               Stanford.
                   (This               article               also               appears               in               a               blog               that               the               author               writes:               E-Learning               (A               Digital               Education               Forum.)
