Chris Nuss spends nearly every free minute of his time at work rebuilding his home.His sons watch and learn while getting an unexpected hands-on lesson on how to overcome adversity.In March, a flood destroyed their home in Pacific Junction, a tiny town in western Iowa.The water nearly reached their second-floor windows.“There was 12 to 14 feet of water at our house,” Chris Nuss’ wife Catie said.She says it took a month before the family could get to their home.“We paddled in a canoe and a jon boat,” Catie says. “I was not prepared to go inside. I was in shock.”While the family fixes their home, they’ve been living inside this camper parked in the driveway — six people and three pets crammed inside for the past five months.“It’s like living in a box, literally,” she says.To get them back in their home, Catie says they’ve received about ,000 in disaster aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the maximum amount FEMA gives out for repairs.That’s far short of the 0,000 Catie estimates it will take to finish the job.Now the family’s finances are also underwater after racking up credit card debt and wiping out a retirement account.“I had about ,000 in there, not a whole lot, but that’s gone,” Catie says. “We had maybe ,000-7,000 in our savings before FEMA, that’s gone.”But the family is desperate to get back into their home they worked so hard to get and are fighting so hard to keep.“When we bought this house, it was a forever home and we’ve learned again, it’s our forever home,” she says. “We’re taking advantage of the situation trying to look at the positive.”Each small milestone gives them just enough energy to keep going.“When I got power turned on, I think maybe for 10 minutes, I flipped one light switched off and on just like a little kid, being amazed that it worked,” Chris says.If things stay on track, the family hopes to be back in their home for the holidays.“We’ve had a few family members ask if we’re hosting Thanksgiving,” Catie says. “I keep saying ‘yes,’ so we will be in by Thanksgiving.” 2064

Carl Goldman and his wife Jeri couldn’t have written a more perfect script for the first 15 days of their Southeast Asia cruise.But the last day marked the beginning of an unpredictable story.“We were fortunate because we had a mini-suite so we had a balcony and could look at the craziness out there, which was like a scene out of the movie the Andromeda Strain, with 60, 70, 80 ambulances at each time, media was all around,” said Carl. They were among thousands of passengers quarantined on the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan. One passenger tested positive for coronavirus and hundreds more followed.Passengers were initially told the delay would be one day but that became two weeks. “We made the best of it, over the 12 days, and decided to go public with it at the time, and had a tremendous response.”The Southern California radio station owners 872

DETROIT — Brandon Zarb has a passion for food and culinary arts. He's a top chef who went from leading two of metro Detroit's busiest restaurants, Public House and Imperial, to the classroom. Zarb started working as a culinary paraprofessional educator at Rising Stars Academy in Center Line in July. He helps mentor students with intellectual disabilities."It was a spontaneous decision. It was kind of an emotional reaction to visiting the school and getting to meet Mark (Prentiss), the founder. It's just so rewarding," says Zarb.Students at the school are 18 to 26 years old. The goal is to have them gainfully employed within a couple of years. They learn valuable skills in many ways, from classrooms to a student-run restaurant, to sustainably growing greens and herbs with an aquaponics system. They also work in a full-service bake shop. Some of their products are sold in local businesses. The students are also taught workplace and life skills so they can better transition into the community after high school. Mark and Deb Prentiss founded the school six years ago. It started with 26 students and now has 125."We label everyone today in society, but we're all people," Mark Prentiss says. "We just need sometimes for people to believe in us. That's the true meaning of it, right?"Christopher Elle, 22, is a student at Rising Stars Academy. He says chef Mark Prentiss changed his life in many ways."He taught me how to be independent ... how to work in the kitchen, cook right, make good recipes," says Elle.The experience isn't just changing the students' lives, it's also making a difference for their parents and families. Janice Slattery's 19-year-old son Matthew is a student at Rising Stars Academy. He has autism and she says communication continues to be a struggle. However, even though her son just started at the school in August, she says he has changed."It's been amazing. He's shown more independence at home. He's doing tasks we didn't know he could do. His confidence level is increasing," the mother says. Twenty-seven Rising Stars Academy students are now employed. Zarb says being a part of this school's staff is incredibly rewarding."Society kind of in a sense turns their backs on these students ... to people with these types of disabilities," Zarb says. "They can be as productive members of society as you or me. They just need some extra help and training."Even though the school receives state aid, it relies heavily on donations.

Craig Brewer was at a Waffle House in Gainesville, Florida, at nearly 3 in the morning Sunday, not far from the University of Florida campus.He was in a generous mood, walking from table to table and picking up the tab for customers' late-night meals. He handed others a bill. It wasn't the first time he's paid for strangers' meals at Waffle House, his cousin, Deborah Jenkins, told CNN.Jenkins said that the father of two was raising people's spirits early that morning and someone even posted a Snapchat video of Brewer tipping the waiters.Meanwhile, the Waffle House was getting crowded with people coming by after the nearby bars closed. Things started getting unruly, Alachua County Sheriff's Office spokesman Brett Rhodenizer told CNN, and someone called 911 to have officers settle down the crowd.Then Brewer, 41, spoke to one woman about paying for her meal, and the conversation turned sour.Another of Brewer's cousins, Rasheeda Davis, was with Brewer at the Waffle House. Davis told CNN the woman arguing with Brewer "said she would spit in his face." Davis added, "It was all petty," noting that the situation didn't appear to be extreme.But a man, Ezekiel Hicks, was with the woman arguing with Brewer, according the police report. Hicks left the restaurant and came back with a 9mm Glock pistol concealed in his pants pocket, a witness told sheriff's deputies.The police report says a surveillance camera in the restaurant shows Hicks take the handgun from his pants, point it at Brewer's' head and fire multiple rounds.Hicks, 25, is being held at the Alachua County Jail on charges of first-degree murder and carrying an unlicensed firearm. His attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNN.'I wasn't expecting to hear of my cousin killing my cousin'Jenkins finds herself in an unusual predicament now.She said Brewer had given her money in the past when she was in a bind, and he often kept her and others "laughing" and "smiling.""He was always generous," she said.But she isn't just the victim's cousin, she's his alleged killer's cousin as well. Jenkins said she got a call around 3:45 that morning and rushed to the restaurant, where she saw "everybody was crying."There she learned more details of the night that has torn apart two different families of which she's a member."I wasn't expecting to hear of my cousin killing my cousin," she said.After shooting Brewer, Hicks walked out of the restaurant, according to the police report. Officers arrived to find Hicks in the Waffle House parking lot, Rhodenizer said. They reported that Hicks approached them and admitted he'd shot Brewer.Though Jenkins is linked to both men, she said she didn't think Hicks and Brewer knew each other."Ezekiel is my cousin as well. He's not a bad guy. He just made a terrible decision," she said. 2842

DENVER, Colo. – When it comes to businesses in America, women owned companies make up 40%. Although that number is on the rise, women are facing different challenges in order to achieve success.About 11.6 million businesses are owned by women, but Madhavan Parthasarathy, Director of Entrepreneurship at University of Colorado Denver, says a majority of those businesses are small. Parthasarathy says women aren’t achieving success at the same rate as men because they are outnumbered."The biggest challenge is to be taken serious,” said Parthasarathy. “It's not just a challenge starting a business but getting funding for a business.Besides landing investors, Parthasarathy says it's hard for women to find mentors and connect with a network of other entrepreneurs to help grow their businesses.Sarah Ortega with Sarah O. Jewelry knows a thing or two about the struggles of owning a business. Despite the disadvantages, she says women have an edge that helps them."We are humble people,” said Ortega. “We like to collaborate with other people and we really feel emotion."A downfall – women can be their own worst critics."If you can learn to take that negative self-talk and say ‘not today, not today, I’m not going to listen to you today. I’m going to grow and make something beautiful.’ If you can do that, that’s when things start to change."Male or female, both Ortega and Parthasarathy say mistakes will happen when owning your own business."That's one of the most important things about being an entrepreneur is to not get down and out on your mistakes," said Ortega. “If I make a mistake I go ‘okay cool where do we take that mistake and make it a learning and experience and grow from it.’" One company who's a big advocate of women owned businesses is Secret. Every Wednesday in the month of December, the company is encouraging people to shop at a woman owned business. 1893
